New father of a 7 month old here (at the tender age of 49 no less).

We used a doula, but only as a support person (I believe in medical advances, hah) and she was fantastic for that role.
Can't say I'm surprised.
I am sure it's a regional thing as I experienced that part of his statement:

everybody with any authority was working non-stop to teach science to girls

but I cannot say the same on that one:

crafts to guys - even to the point of rejecting guys from science classes.
It may last for generations to come, but did the original development take generations?
I think that’s the point of the article :)

Why? Why not just let people decide for themselves what kind of jobs to pursue?
Any electrical engineer needs trigonometry, calculous[1], and a lot more of those things (in the complex plane, no less) as absolute basics. The computers you are working on would not exist without electrical engineering.

In software it's less common because software engineers tend to work with discrete structures, but there is quite a bunch of solid math behind that as well. You won't get very far without at least basic understanding of exponential functions and logarithms for example. Once your work involves signal processing (and be it "just" audio or video), you are solidly back to needing trigonometry, calculous, and all of that in the complex plane.

In Germany, calculous is taught in the equivalent of high school, by the way. In university, you then learn building up algebra, calculous etc. from scratch (i.e. from axioms), and into the complex plane. (As far as I remember you learn complex numbers in high school, but don't extend calculous into it.)

[1] calculus/calculous, take a pick, they're both valid spellings.
Apparently Tailscale for a long time just used a JSON file as their data storage, and moved from that to SQLite with a hot-swappable backup with Litestream [0], and hey they've done fine with that.

> Q total is way below 1 (translation: it took far more energy to make the energy that was produced, than was produced). We do not have working fusion power, if "working fusion power" means "you get more out than you put in".

That's not what it means. Working means it works. Can you produce fusion power? Yes. Can you do so in a commercially viable way? No. Q is obviously a part of this. Uninteresting semantics.

> The USA spent more than US$300M per day on the war in Afghanistan, for 20 years. I guarantee you that if "we wanted to go full solar" now, we could. US$2T buys you a lot of anything, including even today's vaguely clunky battery tech.

And I'm telling you, no, we could not, because that's not how the world works. From many perspectives, including economics of how to actually acquire all these solar assets many of which are already being consumed as fast as produced and dependent on limited metals supply chains; land availability with reasonable transmission setups; grid capacity to absorb these new generation facilities on the transmission lines; power availability during non peak times; and the preposterous externalities of trying to rapidly undermine the global energy market.

This is both really cool, & really staggering that there s such a hodgepodge of hardware chips going into it.

MediaTek had a project Cross-Mount that sounded very very similar, but which never materialized. Really want this sort of thing to emerge, but i have so low confidence any one company's solution can ever drive this ecosystem advancement.
Hm, I'm very dubious that any hardware can fix INAV's horizon drift, which is due to the bad AHRS implementation. The problem I had was that I couldn't trust RTH (and I know people whose wing has crashed during RTH), because whenever I switched to RTH INAV would dive for several tens of meters before actually coming back.

I had a few close calls where it almost crashed into various objects while circling to RTH, and I decided I didn't want to lose a wing (or, worse, falling on someone's head), so I switched.
There is an website (mobile-optimized to eliminate app downloads or spying): socrative.com. It does everything the iclickers used to do and more. You can, optionally, upload class rosters and make students log in, or you can use it anonymously. It’s free for small classes and $50/year flat fee (billable to the administration) for large lectures.
> I dare say that most of the papers being published would better serve to advance scientific knowledge if they were used as kindling to provide heat to primary school students.

Reading blatantly anti-intellectual statements like these are very appalling in HN, and I dare say this attitude has been exponentially increasing in the last couple years. I was essentially unheard-of back when I first signed up here.

Will you be able to explain us why you're of this opinion, so it has at least more substance?
What is your evidence for discrimination?

We upgraded to an induction cooktop from a resistive electric coil one last year and we love it. Pots heat up fast, to the point that we make sure to have everything prepped and ready to go, because we're not going to have time to do one or two last things while waiting on the pan to heat. It's also very responsive - I can have a pan of water on a rolling boil at 80-90% power, then turn it down to 40-50% power and it drops to a simmer instantly. It feels like cooking with magic.

After using it for a while, I'd go as far as to say that if I bought a house with a gas stove, removing that in favor of an induction range would be pretty high on my priority list. Safer, better for air quality, and the occasional spill is much easier to clean.

Not being able to take proper advantage of a wok is a little annoying, although I've only tried it with a relatively small stainless steel one. I'm betting a flat bottom carbon steel wok large enough to fit the 12" burner would work better, though.

If my profit comes at the cost of your profit eventually things are going to disintegrate. If you optimize for profit aggressively you can end up making decisions that maximize short term profit but destroy the long term viability of your business (or the entire market)

I always feel like 24 fps, dropping to a lower effective rate as you start going on twos or using more eccentric, punchy timing, is an artifact that exists because it is really close to the absolute lowest framerate where the "illusion of life" breaks down and you are looking at slideshow of static drawings. My experience from when I still animated was that a sustained 10fps is right on the edge, it was real hard to get away with holds on the production I worked on that was on 10.

And animation is a fuckton of work. Anything you can do to not have to do a new drawing for every single frame is welcomed, unless you are Richard Williams endlessly iterating on The Thief And The Cobbler and sneaking around your studio at night slipping extra drawings into your animators' shots to put everything on ones, regardless of whether or not it works best for the shot. If you can make a computer inbetween it for you then it's easier to fuck around with much higher framerates than is sustainable with an all-human production, but there's still gonna be times when you just want to hold the heck out of an image to make damn sure it reads.

(hell, when I was doing stuff in Flash, we regularly made a practice of taking the ultra-smooth tweens it made and putting it back on twos, because it just Looked Weird and we preferred to save going on ones for fast motion with a semi-hand-crafted smear.)
I wonder what it means to "know" a word.

The parent comment was talking about a video outside of the context of this entry in HN. My reply was in the context of parent comment referring to that video, the video in question provides excerpts of example of that failure of communication.
There is NEMA 14, which has hot,hot,neutral,ground, but I don't think anything lower than 20amps is available, and that's a locking one, 30 amps is available without locks, but 30 amps at 220v is a lot of power for household outlets. You'd need larger wire in the walls, not just more of them.

Any sort of outlet upgrade would need a really good plan for how to make it viable, because even if 100% of new construction used the new outlet, it would be decades before you could sell devices that relied on it.
You mean fundamentally expensive like building billions of nano meter scale devices, aligning and wiring 24 million of them to be individually addressable on a 6 inch plane? Oh and we build those by the thousands on factory lines.

That's a whole lot more of precision engineering than is needed to build a nuclear fusion reactor, and you can buy it on the order of a hundred bucks.

And it's not just a hole in the ground, last time I checked the thermal conductivity of rocks isn't exactly stellar.
I worked for a higher-ed startup that was heavily involved in the textbook space for a little over 5 years. There are a myriad of factors that contribute to the high price of textbooks. Some of those factors are:

• The principle / agent problem - Instructors naturally select the course materials for their own courses but typically never need to pay for their own instructor copies. In essence instructors are making decisions for which they generally bear no cost, but which do impact costs for students. Compounding this problem is that, surprisingly often, instructors did not actually know the cost of the materials they selected.

• The cost structure problem - Instructors will sometimes select a textbook to use for a course for only a year, but often they'll use a textbook for longer than a year. Using the same textbook for two to three years for a course isn't uncommon. This has implications re: how much revenue is at stake for a publisher for each textbook sale.

For example - if an instructor is teaching a particular course twice a year (once in the spring and once in the fall), and they use the same textbook for 2 years in a row, and each course has roughly 30 students - then a publisher selling an instructor on a $200 textbook has a value of:

4 courses * 30 students * $200 = $24,000

Or, roughly the cost of some cars. With this kind of revenue on the line for each sale it makes sense for publishers to develop a nation-wide, high touch, hands on, sales force. And a friendly, knowledgeable sales person can be more persuasive during the course materials selection process than a worthy (but distant) affordable textbook initiative that doesn't have an in-person advocate.

• The content discovery problem - Part of the reason why publishers resort to sales teams is because they don't really have any good alternatives. There isn't a great platform for higher ed content discovery. Instructors who want to survey what content might be available for their course have a limited amount of time to make a decision, that decision has large consequences (their entire course might have to be redone for example), and there often isn't very good info about higher ed content (what are the learning outcomes associated with this content? what is the resale value of this content for the student? what do other instructors think about this content? etc.).

• The transient pain problem - Most students complete their college education in 4 - 6 years, which means that (for most) the pain of high textbook prices is temporary. In other words - the pain is temporary for the cohort that would probably be most motivated to solve the problem.
How I Built My Own Rewards Card
Until a few generations ago everyone worked from home. The kids were with whichever parent or often extended family.

You lived on your farm or in your village. Both parents did work on the farm as needed. Dad was never far from home and did take the older kids to the fields.
The WireGuard protocol is deliberately designed to be straightforward to run in the kernel. In steady state, it doesn't even require dynamic memory allocation. It uses timers in lieu of extra statekeeping. It has a simplified networking model ("cryptokey routing") that defers to the host TCP/IP stack a bunch of stuff that other VPN protocols take upon themselves to build. It has just one keying mechanism and an API to build more interesting authentication features (like SSO integration) on top of it, rather than having it invade the core design.

It helps that it was designed and implemented by a kernel exploit author.
> But damask? Jacquard? Chenille? Do you not have curtains or a couch?

I recognized chenille (but couldn't remember what it meant, outside of knowing it was textile-related), but I'd never heard of damask or jacquard before. I do own my own home, but actually don't have curtains (blinds/shades instead). I do have a couch (three of them!), and these words never came up. I was just given giant books of fabric swatches, and I chose by look and feel. I don't recall any of them having descriptive names with technical terms, just a marketing name and item number.
It's a symbiotic relationship. They both serve each other. Things could always be better and Apple is not a good guy but I doubt any large app or organization is either.
Guy here -- I vaguely recognized most of the fabrics, but I've bought plenty of couches and never shopped for a fabric by name, I just find a nice looking thing and flip through the swatches book until I find one I like. The only one there that's really recognizable by name in male clothes maybe is chambray.

I've never bought curtains, only blinds.

I recognized espadrilles because they make those for guys, but they're not common.
Last I heard[0] they were experimenting but hadn't shipped it. AFAIK their client still requires root, no?

How's that? Sure it's a slur and not as proper as "woman with a penis", but the fact that men are looking at porn of trans women, hey at least they think we're hot, right?
Spending more money is certainly not the only way to help the situation. The US already spends a large amount of money per student for elementary and secondary education, and even more in post-secondary education...yet we are going nowhere. I would argue that spending the money that we currently have more efficiently is a better proposition, but government programs are going to be hard pressed to do something in an efficient manner.
As far as I can tell the western push for “diversity” is a system of racial, gender, and sexual orientation preferences and not some capitalistic optimal meritocracy. For each person that would have been overlooked that the society gains, how many that would have been as good or better are denied opportunity?

I'd ask for a control to account for grad students with STDs, but what grad students have time for those?
Guys (broadly) don't care what the name of the fabric on their furniture is, or what their curtains are made of, and do not shop using those terms. Even getting very slightly into male fashion has put me far ahead of most guys as far as knowing words common in male fashion. The vast majority of guys don't give a damn what "twill" is, or "bluchers", let alone what you call the kind of uphostry on their couch.

I recognized some of the fabric words. Were I not married, I would have recognized far fewer. I couldn't have told you what most of them actually mean, just that they're to do with fabric.

[EDIT] In fact, on reflection, I find it surprising that women (generally) shop for furniture based on anything to do with the kind of fabric on them, or would be particularly likely to be able to tell you what kind of fabric is on their furniture. I've always known women to shop for uphostered furniture the same way guys do, which is by looking at options until they see something that looks OK, then sitting on it to test. Curtains are another story. I'm pretty sure my wife does put in fabric names when searching for curtains, and might be able to name what some of ours are.

Shopping for uphostered furniture based on fabric type seems more like a rich/poor divide than male/female, to me. Like, it doesn't even get interesting until you're way out of most people's price range, does it?

Worst 3 words to start tomorrow's Wordle
It sounds like we could have a generic userspace tool that proxies any connection to a WireGuard server. Similar to ssh -L, it would listen on a TCP/UDP port locally (or talk the SOCKS protocol) and convert that to IP packets over the WireGuard connection (using a userspace TCP or UDP implementation for that side).

It looks like Fly.io has all the bits, they just need to be packaged as a stand-alone tool rather than built into flyctl and only talk SSH.
I had no idea they made espadrilles for men! (eta: or that they called men's shoes like that espadrilles.)
It is very expensive to do.

HTS was known but not practical when ITER was planned, but it's almost done. ITER is almost large enough to be an LTS-based power plant.

ITER will still produce a lot of useful science, but there is a now a potential class of mid-scale HTS machines that would help develop plasma models.

These iterations seem frustrating and time consuming, but their results are lowering the cost of a hypothetical power plant until one day maybe society will decide they're worth making for power generation.
Isn't most networking in the kernel? It's pretty complicated already.
Equal parts terrifying and impressive. If I worked in PR at Bugatti I'd ship these guys a case of eye protection and respirators.
>poor students of color ... Asian students on standardized tests ... inexperienced science and math teachers.

This isn't terribly new in the U.S. Depending on the school district and state laws, the qualifications of 'science teachers' may be minimal. (In some places, STEM teachers who are also coaches are likely to be preferred.) Partly because of the big difference in pay, partly because some school admins aren't motivated to care. Then the 'teaching to the test' crutch came along. Ay-yi. Understandable exodus of quality.
Curious as to whether I am alone in finding mind mapping almost bizarrely useless. Maybe I just have a good working memory, but putting everything on a page in 2d seems absurdly fiddly, even irritating, to me.

One super concrete problem I have with it is that it encourages hierarchical organization, which is almost never how systems work or how I tend to think of them.

Not saying they are all bad but most of them
As a male software engineer, married and homeowner for 25+ years, I can honestly say I know almost none of those fabric-related terms. As in, don't even remember hearing them before.

I hardly even think about curtains, couch covers, etc. At most it's briefly, when we're shopping for that stuff. I'm super happy to leave those details up to my wife, who cares about them more than I do.
I actually thought it was a study in a foreign language until getting to the bottom half. I did just buy a carpet the other day, but I don't think that involved any of those textile words.
Checks out, at least anecdotally. I recognized (and could define) every one of the "male" words, but I recognized only 6 of the "female" words, and could probably only define one or two of them.
The launch of the Webb space telescope is an evidence to the contrary.
My apologies if my comment wasn't that clear. What I mean that the paper and pen is the primary requirements. We have the technologies that would calculate for us, those are the tools that we have available for us to use. But Educational Institutions disagreed with that and prefers us to use the paper&pen. So they would prefers to put us so much stress because we have to memorize them for the test instead of the available tools we could have use for it. The last time I used the paper&pen was in my undergrad. I use mathematics in Excel, Mathway, Search bars/launcher (Spotlight, Wox, Alfred, etc), Google. Those are the tools that I use frequent because it eliminate 99% human errors. They could taught us how to use the tools effectively, not forcing us to do the memorization and likely to fail the course.

Fortunately, universities are noticing the issues with students struggle to pass Mathematics because there are lot of pathway that have higher mathematics requirements whereas it shouldn't be in the first place. Some fields have higher mathematics requirements when it is barely used in the field. They should stop at Algebra 1 (I believe that is arithmetic algebra) as a minimum for all degrees. If the pathway have a strong mathematics use, then go for whatever they requires for the degree. OR they could, you know, teach us how to use the tools online effectively instead of forcing us to go off the books. My field is in language and cultural studies which use minimal of mathematics.
Yeah, their client is always going to require privileges, because it needs to enable every other program on the system to interact directly with remote hosts transparently. User-mode TCP/IP works for us because we own the client-side program that our users run to talk to stuff on Fly.io.
