The biggest problem to me with the old SixtyFPS brand was that it was always just aspirational thing and not really describing any property of the framework. As such it oversold the product and muddled the message as it was easy to point out that it in fact did not always hit 60fps. So while Slint as a brand might be less ambitious, at least it feels bit more honest

Yeah but you're a nerd on HN. Of course your personal network doesn't care.

It's the normal folk that care.
My very first job even before I graduated was 'Senior' (not a brag, an indication that the title doesn't mean much.) Mid-level individual contributors at Goldman Sachs are 'Vice President'. These titles can't be read literally, can't be quantified, and can't be compared between companies. Any attempt to do so is futile.
I've been waiting over twice as long for the internet bubble to pop. Some of this stuff can stay irrational much longer than we'd expect.
Depends on if the university sees its function as imparting knowledge, or evaluating potential/gatekeeping.
Is that you Nigel?
As a kid, the row x column thing never made sense to me. I was horrible at understanding visual metaphors, I don't think I "got" the row x column thing until well into high school, and even then it was "I have to think about it".

I always had better luck with just manipulating the numbers mentally.
I just finished crafting my wonderfully opinionated three-part tweet. Trying to click "Post" failed until I gave up and closed the tab. I'll infer the Twitter gods did not support my opinion and I'll keep it to myself instead.
No. She was in a 202 class. "math for engineers" is usually locked behind a course of study or prerequisite classes so people who need those classes to graduate get them. Everything 200 and below is usually tagged as sophomore or below and is intended to be used cross major. 300 and up is when specialized topics start coming up.

You could argue it was "math for engineers" in that Liberal Arts / Social Studies don't require them and only the STEM programs do, I guess. You can graduate with a non STEM degree with just an Algebra course in most Universities in America. And those Algebra courses are usually just high school refreshers if you went to a good high school. Some of the non STEM require Statistics. But even there some schools do "Statistics for STEM majors" and "Statistics for non STEM majors"

No, your premise is flawed. You jump to the conclusion that he made that claim based on a single data point. Just because he illustrated his point with one example does not mean his point is based on one example.

In any case, this is not a statistical argument, and your comment adds nothing but noise to the discussion.
You bring up a good point...the overall pull downward that the phonies bring to our field. Businesses trust (software) engineering teams less. Perhaps overall industry pay rates are brought down, too, though I don't have personal experience or knowledge about that.

However, that point you make about the 'proven experts' getting called in is where my original (and perhaps overly broad) comment came from. If you can align yourself with the industry as one of those fixers, and then actually deliver on that promise, there is immense value to capture. If you can carefully build a small team of people that can do this regularly, there is even more value to capture and share with people who actually deserve it.
I just interpreted your critique as supporting my position. /s

Even if it is the minority (from my anecdotal understanding it isn't) it would become like toxic waste in a professional community.

Also how would you even survey that? "Do you have zero disregard for objective truth and only interpret things to gain political capital by in-group signaling?"
> Actually, I have, because I've done a fair bit of embedded development

Can't argue there :)

> Factoring a quadratic by hand is something I expect a CS major to know how to do

Agreed, I'm more concern about teaching programming while asking such a task. Once you have solid foundation, you can have valuable insights by doing this exercise about float based maths, moving variables around, naming things, translating maths to code. But before that, I think it would hinder learning.

> And someone who knows how to factor a quadratic by hand knows a number of formulaic (suboptimal) steps to perform it-- the exact kind of things that's easiest to translate to code before you have gotten into that mindset of explicit thinking.

I disagree, because it takes 2 abstracts things and mix them together. It's a harsh first step. As a teacher, I get better results when I map coding to some concrete reality first. Later on, yes, you can mix.

> I'm teaching a secondary student to program right now. In his core math class he's doing a lot of trig. In turn, we're doing a whole lot of exercises like "make these dots chase the other dot using atan2 and sin/cos".

This is what I'm talking about. I have terrible results with those for anybody who doesn't really love maths. But creating small games and analysis the text of their favorite song are instant hits.
Many words have several semantic definitions depending on definition. This is why the word "is" is a very good token to have in a vocabulary (as an example), since it can mean so much depending on what tokens came before and after it.

Numbers have very limited semantic value. "123816" only means that number, and it's used very rarely in comparison to basically any other word (and the higher the number, the less chance of use, statistically peaking).

So the question becomes; to what extent do you expand the vocabulary using only numbers? "1", "2", "3", ... "1000000" would probably be a huge waste of words in an AI vocabulary (1MB input nodes), yet still not very impressive arithmetically even with 100% calculationrate. In comparison, a hand calculator from 30 years ago could do this with ease. It's not a question of being able to cleverly tokenize.

Calculations like this is an inherent flaw of vocabulary based AI until the semantic meaning of number sequences are somehow taught to it. Basically it needs to understand that "12" and "1" + "2" has the same contextular meaning, something which very rarely is explained in anything but 7 year old's schoolbooks. The problem is the dataset.
Thanks for the explanation - I, like OP, was experiencing some wild deja vu.
"think what I would rephrase as is: given my genetic makeup, discipline is more likely to yield benefits using openAI Jukebox rather than guitar or piano."

I don't agree with this sort of sentiment at all. I'm not talking about benefits as in being in the top % of people in a field- I don't care about that. I'm talking about getting very good and playing with people and/or earning income. Anyone can achieve that with time and work.

The best players that I know all study quite diligently and play/make music literally all the time. They're getting their 10,000 hours in and then some. I'm speaking here as a guitar & bass player but this applies to really any instrument.

Unless you physically or mentally cannot play e.g. the guitar, if you studied it diligently for several years, you would be better than a lot of people who haphazardly study it. By 1-2 years you could already be sitting in and doing small gigs (for bass, a lot sooner, since there's a glut of of amateur guitarists). By 3-4 years of again, diligent study, you would be quite decent/respectable. As far as "making it", that comes down to the above + socializing with musicians + interpersonal skills like being on time, etc.

"Genetic makeup" or "talent" have absolutely zero to do with that unless it's literally impacting your ability to play or practice. All that's needed is discipline to study correctly (and motivation, which goes without saying). And a great many people study poorly.
That makes sense. They need to find the right balance between coddling and abuse!

I remember my low level CS courses being difficult, but not unfairly so. Except for when the second assignment in my CS 101 essentially asked for a recursive-descent parser, haha. Wooops.

Anyway…couldn’t a MOOC be just as good as an on-site course at filtering?
I wasted many of my high school math classes designing Mario levels thanks to Mirage OS.
That strikes me as rather unlikely. Surely to pass at least some courses some not completely trivial amount of coding was required. Maybe the issue is the context in which the "Fibuzz" test is given is so different from that of class work or real work that the candidate just isn't used to operating under those conditions. I can especially see that if you're expected to recite every line of code perfectly over the phone or write them out on a whiteboard in front of a bunch of people.

Your understanding is correct, but my point is that inherently if US people can access EU profiles inherently some EU data will be stored in the US.

It would then been trivial for someone to crawl EU pages and rebuild the corpus of data.

The only real solution is to firewall off regions and prevent those users from accessing anything other than their own.

This is already what some countries like China do, for instance
Much harder for a large company than a small one, actually. The coordination overhead to get a bunch of disparate teams in a large company to rearchitect the fundamental structure of the service should not be overlooked.
Your first point is definitely something I experienced in university a few times. Mostly in STEM classes.

Your second point is very interesting because in general, the highest-tier schools tend to hire professors that are mostly academic researchers where teaching is more of a “side gig”. It seems this would directly translate to a worse learning experience.

I definitely had experiences where a CS professor at the local community college was a better teacher than the equivalent professor at my university. The community college teacher worked as a software engineer in the real world. Had to onboard people, train junior devs, explain concepts to stakeholders, etc…

From what I understand from reading this thread, most elite schools provide less in terms of instruction. The cheaper schools provide more “hand holding”. Just an interesting thought.

Edit: clarification
I'd say it's the reversal of the trend that excites me more than the single instance of the announcement itself.

For decades, Europe (and admittedly the US) has sat back and moaned against using the single most powerful energy source known to man (measured in energy density). Germany actually proclaimed in 2011 that they would be turning away completely from nuclear energy.

This is a start, executed well . . it lays the foundation for a generational shift.

No, but I do think an intro to programming should be done without math. You can mix them later, once the students know what's up.
It used to be a proper business magazine, alongside Fortune, Barrons and BusinessWeek. At some point in the last 15 years it opened up a "contributor" program, which killed its reputation.

As far as I know, there is still a Forbes print mag with editorial staff, but considering how few people subscribe to magazines now, their reputation rests almost entirely on the quality of the free contributor articles. Most of which are written by content marketers looking to build their brand.
I’ll call Infosys out. I’ve worked with people from there who literally did not know how to program. They were moved off quickly. There are some solid people there but hard to find in my experience.

Akvelon consultants have been consistently better than some FTEs in my experience.

Until this republication they didn't exist in digital form. Thoughts?

Construction Bots can automatically "tear down" your trash areas, and unlocks the "copy" and "paste" buttons, meaning you rebuild the areas much faster.

Bots are roughly blue-science, or the ~halfway point of the tech tree.

---------

So everything "Before" construction bots can be basically seen as a "prototype" or "throwaway" factory. Everything "after" construction bots is also a prototype, because you can just hit the "deconstruct planner" and tear everything down automatically and reconstruct from scratch whenever you want.

If everything is a prototype, then perfection doesn't matter. Instead, you're "pursuing" perfection, teardown whenever you think you have a better grand plan, and copy/paste the design back if you make a mistake (or Ctrl-z / undo your decisions as needed. Etc. etc.)

You can buy more phones too, though presumably the phone companies don't sell bulk phone numbers for short term use and make it prohibitively expensive and time consuming to do so. Basically seems like it works by outsourcing those spam combating efforts to the local phone companies.

Right, the people at Meta aren't stupid. They understand fully will that users posts aren't the issue, but steering the debate in that direction would make the EU look unreasonable.

Meta could be more accommodating to the wishes of the EU and place a greater focus on privacy, but that would mean changing how they do business. Meta clearly don't believe that it's possibly for their businesses to be profitable without data mining the crap out of their users. I know it's not a popular opinion, but business like Facebook and Instagram are the direct reason why the EU feel the need to step in and regulate.
I think the flaw in your logic is the assumption it was an either/or situation. There are a whole lot of options between “resign or face the consequences”, and let’s face it, is destroying someone’s career one way or the other (via by choice or otherwise) really a choice at all?

If you think it is, I’d be curious what your choice would be given the same scenario and whether you felt a bit coerced into your position.

I don't know how squids perceive things, but obviously water pressure is correlated with gravity in their case.

There's no way to have up and down without gravity. It's meaningless. It's not that gravity can't exist without up and down. Gravity exists independently of anyone perceiving anything. But up and down do not exist without gravity. Either up and down are the perception of gravity, even though indirectly through our perceptual mechanisms, or they don't exist and have no meaning.
I'd guess that means that going forward security conscious people will be putting tape or covers over not only their cameras but also over their LEDs.

In high security settings the buildings have no windows or have fake windows to keep external laser signals out so that's not new. That's been true since about the time someone figured out you can reconstruct audio from the doppler of a laser reflected off windows.
Last I read Tor is used for more nefarious things... and yet.
People get also used to living nearby airports. But I'll concede that usually airports are there before you move in.
The first part is so relatable, especially for engineering classes. Professors would take pride in making the material complex and exams as difficult as possible so the average score was in the 50s or even less, and then the university would make them grade on a curve and hand out the required number of As and Bs. What even is the point?
I think what is important is once to have seen couple of times the happy path (successful project) and at least the unhappy path (unsuccessful project) and see how a senior can mitigate the repercussion of the unsuccessful project. Basically see the stuff which no book tells you.
Yes, out of all the old systems, I think the GBA is the easiest to program for. The design is more streamlined/modern overall so that you don't have to worry about things like bank switching and the GPU has a cleaner design than the SNES.

The BIOS, graphics, and audio firmware fit nicely with the 32bit ARM architecture such that all you have to do is poke data into the right address (usually a #define'ed pointer in C) and it DMAs to the hardware.

And unlike later consoles, there's no operating system or significant copy protection to deal with, you link in a crt0.s to put everything at the right address, load the rom into an emulator, and it will start displaying your game. When your ready, you pop a flashcart into your hardware and it will probably work too. It's all very nice.
Confirmed. The timeline still updates with new tweets so some people are still able to Tweet, but all my four accounts have issues.
I'd love to see this approach make more headway in the Django community. Based on the last DjangoCon it seems like the community is coalescing around HTMX.

This tool does play very nicely with Django's templating engine; you can just have HTMX re-render a particular template block on the server, and send down that updated block. The migration path is quite clean; you just wrap your "HTMX-updated" template block in a `hx-post` div.

Having not gone too deep on HTMX, I'm interested in folks' thoughts on where it's lacking vs. LiveView and Hotwire. One area I can see is performance; Elixir is going to be faster than Django, and so if you're trying to handle high session counts over websockets. But the impression I get is that HTMX is a bit more light-weight, so I'm wondering if there's usecases that can't be met with it vs. LiveView.

Other Django libraries that haven't quite seen as much uptake:

We have https://github.com/edelvalle/reactor, and a port of Hotwire: https://github.com/hotwire-django but both of these don't seem to have much adoption (yet!).

I have more than a passing interest in neuroscience and psychology and I’m still on the fence a bit but truthfully I do think most descriptions of addiction make my relationship with my phone at least in the realm of applying the addict label. There’s the idea in neuroscience of not liking a behavior but still doing it compulsively with a unconscious hope of repeating a high that becomes harder and harder to access as tolerance builds up. I find myself with my phone in my hand as though by magic sometimes. And yes, I’m writing my comment on my phone right now.
What _threats_ are being made? The protesters are demanding (asking) that the government _resign_.

> They have used force to inflict measurable economic damage and threatened to continue it until their demands were met.

The "measurable economic damage" pales in comparison to the economic damage causes by draconian lockdown policies promogulated by western governments.
Just for clarification, GDPR does not prohibit in any way that privat personal data leaves the EU (obviously). However, if you want to transfer privat personal data out of the EU you have to certify it still conforms with GDPR (this can be self certified).
Wow, if it is true, I will surely stop playing factorio, because, apparently, some prick on hackernews would think the game's lead dev is not OK, and I am always quick to pigeonhole a person based on his controversial opinion, which I happen to disagree with.
I'm pretty sure it is though. I mean I think dang is a YCombinator employee. I also don't know of many sites that let 3rd parties run their subdomains, unless they're explicitly and obviously set up for that purpose, like maybe wordpress.com.

If it’s in the countryside, it’s being put far away from the people/regions that benefit the most, and closer to those that are undesirably impacted the most.

edit: This was just an observation in response to ""I don't want that near me" view, but that means that person wants it near someone else?"

There's a huge imbalance between the major consumer (cities) and people in the countryside (where the turbines end up).
Essentially, this is why we can't have nice things. Human nature will always have someone take something to the dark places. Does that mean the rest of us can't use the things in non-creepy ways just because some will? After all, if you don't build it, someone else will, so why not you? These are all valid questions. Some people choose to do violence with weapons, so nobody should have weapons? These questions are always polarizing.
No kidding. Doesn’t seem like they taught the author much of anything. Just threw problems at them and expected them to figure it out.
