This has big "Bernie Madoff when he was chairman of the NASDAQ" vibes. [1]

[edit] For those following along at home, Binance was kicked out of - or saw significant regulatory pressure in - the UK, Japan, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Germany, Malaysia, Hong Kong, South Africa, Thailand, Ontario, Uganda, Malta ... and I think a few others?

They're also under investigation by the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority. [2, 3] I am legitimately impressed, it's not easy to get the attention of regulators in the Caymans.

It seems Forbes was hot on their tail a while back when they wanted to create strategic bait-and-switch entities in various jurisdictions including the US ("Tai Chi Document"). [4] Binance then sued them for defamation - then voluntarily dropped the suit.

I suspect such investigations will no longer be welcome.

Attempting to learn mathematics as some sort of pattern matching, which is where having large sets of questions and answers to study is useful, does not work; it isn't mathematics.

You're making the student out to be some kind of simpleton. She's not.

She just wants what any decent textbook has: An answer key to the practice problems, so she knows whether her answers were correct or not. Being as they are, after all, practice problems. Meanwhile her instructor is telling her, in so many words, to buzz off.

That's what is at issue here. Not (as you presume) her being some kind of a lunkhead, who thinks it's all about "pattern matching".
The book of Jeremiah had this to say about Google+:

“They will not mourn for him:
‘Alas, my brother! Alas, my sister!’
They will not mourn for him:
‘Alas, my master! Alas, his splendor!’

He will have the burial of a donkey—
dragged away and thrown
outside the gates of Jerusalem.”

1. Circa 2014 I've created Mapless [1], a Smalltalk persistence framework to remove the Object Relational Impedance Mismatch problem by design so I can quickly prototype or (modify) maintain the persisted objects without caring about mapping. After being abandoned, it suddenly became a life saver. Now it's going for production with humongous load.

2. I'm discretely working in Lobster [2] because I don't like current Smalltalk IDEs and I want one with a native look and feel. So far I have implemented Transcript, Workspace, Inspector, REPL and partially a Class Hierarchy Browser.

Wow! Can you post some non-satellite pictures? Is willow the primary plant making all those shapes? Or have you done significant earth moving too?
I think there is. For example, multiplication is not visually intuitive on a number line, but it is very intuitive shown as a grid of row x columns. Doing the math out helps build an intuition for things like commutative properties and what not.
Woah. Didn't know about this. I'm honestly amazed at how many similar things I've discovered that I didn't know about when I started this. I did look for similar tools, but didn't really surface that many of them. Not sure I would have ever started had I known the space was actually not as empty as it seemed.

Would love to know what about the flow was clunky and why it didn't fit your workflow. Might be a lot that I can learn from that.
exactly, I think that no "workers" platform uses node as it is not feasible to use node for fastcgi, so javascript fastcgi need to use alternative runtimes.

Since node is so dominant for serverside js, fastcgi with javascript is very uncommon.

PS: I do not know whether deno is better for fastcgi, but it is unlikely that it would be good enough.
I can't speak to any of the low code approaches, but I do know it wouldn't be that hard for a GBA implementation once you learned the hardware (and the resources for learning it are pretty good). Each hexagon could be its own sprite (probably even with the text on them already, to make it super trivial), and then you can probably just DMA them into the appropriate place in memory during vblank. So then it's just the game state/logic. All of which is pretty straightforward in C, though there is tooling around other languages as well.

https://github.com/gbadev-org/awesome-gbadev has a buncha resources, though I can personally attest to Tonc as being everything you need for getting up and running (at least it was years ago when I used it, but the GBA hasn't changed since then; just the tooling and environment may have gotten better)
Your response feels presumptive.

1) I don't know Haskell

4) Because of this article I'm now curious about Haskell and its type systems, and would consider giving Haskell a go.

Looks well-executed and the free plan is very generous with unlimited notes compared to other recent note-taking services.

Yeah sometimes when you're doing a Q&A with it it starts generating questions, and then you become the thing answering. It's fun.
You might be surprised. My daughter took first year university linear algebra last year and graded assignments and tests were often returned weeks later, in some cases well into the exam preparation period. I told her this was unacceptable and she should complain, but you can imagine why a young, shy first year student might not be able to get over that potential barrier.
I built VMSave a number of years ago to fulfill a request from some family members. My definition of "success" for it is that it helps people, that it's relatively maintenance free and that it sustains itself via donations. Especially since recently moving it to hosting with a more reliable internet connection it's been wildly successful according to those metrics.

Kudos to you and the prof for caring about student success, figuring out what action increases student success, and doing that.

And really, shouldn’t this be how we approach most problems?
Show HN: LiveViewJS – TypeScript back end for LiveView Apps (Phoenix LiveView)
Author here. I really love the programming paradigm behind by Phoenix LiveView applications and wanted to expand the ecosystem to include programmers like myself that love Typescript.

In summary, LiveViewJS reuses all the Phoenix client code and implemented a new backend in Typescript to handle client events and send back updates. Lots more detail and examples in the repo.

Would love any questions and/or feedback. Thanks!
Is there a non-blockchain equivalent of gated access to resources based on ownership of a token? People do this a lot in the NFT space (access to certain chat channels based on owning an NFT), is anything like that happening (rather than theoretically possible) outside of crypto?
Yes. I really don’t understand the chess match analogy given that there were multiple players on both teams.
Is there a term already coined that's in line with "regulatory capture" [of government and policies by for-profit industrial complexes lobbying to help insert politicians favourable of or inattentive to their industry] but for "brand capture" or "trust/reputation capture" or similar?

> I am assuming that during lessons students have been given answers to problems worked in class, so that they can see what an answer looks like, which is probably one of the most important parts in learning introductory mathematics

As someone deeply familiar with/scarred by courses just like this one, in-classroom introductory mathematics pedagogy at elite institutions can vary wildly because mathematics graduate students and professors are incredibly specialized in their fields of study and accustomed to very specialized types of intuition - with perhaps more of a disconnect from the introductory student's learning experience than in any other field. Language barriers can exacerbate this. Proofs are thrown on a board, time management on the lecturer's part is nonexistent, and examples are inevitably skipped over as "an exercise for the student."

In contrast, many computer science programs recognize this tendency and optimize for pedagogy. I remember my university's CS department hiring and paying upperclass CS students to guide other students through their first times debugging code outside of the authority structures of official teaching staff. No similar program existed for the mathematics department, and arguably it should have - but who would volunteer? Once a mathematics major, you're pulled into a realm that's quite isolated from the broader student experience!
My guess is this a reference to sysplex [0] on mainframe systems, often abbreviated "Plex"

Perhaps you are right. I can think of a couple additional considerations:

First, it's worth acknowledging that some amount of desirable content already exists without advertising. My partner and I pay a subscription to three streaming services, a couple local newspapers, a town newsletter, and a physical news magazine. Besides the magazine they do not use ads to supplement their revenue. Having said that, I certainly agree that content that is only marginally valuable to people (who have money) would cease to be profitable and would therefore decrease in a world without advertising.

Second, I think it depends on to what degree you believe that the ends can justify the means. How acceptable is it to manipulate consumers if it means you can achieve a more ethical end like giving them desirable content? Do those things cancel out? Personally I think it depends on how unethical one finds the advertising and how beneficial one finds the content. We already restrict certain kinds of advertising to children or for addictive substances. Many countries do not allow advertisements that encourage consumers to request brand-name medications from their doctors, and China has even banned advertisements for luxury products. Many people are concerned about advertising that creates unrealistic body expectations in children or promotes excessive levels of consumption.

(Having worked on a DARPA project in a war zone a decade ago, I have spent a lot of time thinking about to what degree the ends justify the means, and I still have no good answers.)

Staying clear of the woke crossword folks.

The Wall Street Journal's puzzles are edited by Mike Shenk. For years - going back to when he was in college - he published puzzles under the name "Marie Kelly" (an anagram of "REALLY MIKE"). Then, one day, the people at crosswordfiend.com decided that was unacceptable - that potential female crossword designers would be put off by the fact that a man was publishing crosswords under a woman's name. And, obviously, we need more female crossword designers. As well as more female answers to crossword clues. And don't even think about publishing a crossword that has, say, FASCIST as an answer - they don't want to see such an awful word.

I wish I was joking.

Barnards Star, Lalande 21185, then Alpha Centauri, then Proxima Centauri, then Ross 248, then Gliese 445 makes 6.

There are 6 if you count Proxima Centauri and Alpha Centauri separately; 7 if you count both stars in the Alpha Centauri pair separately, and 5 if you count Alpha and Proxima Centauri separately.

Alpha Centauri is the binary system of Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B, which are separated by about 10-30 AU. It's very, very close in terms of interstellar distances to Proxima Centauri, which is a red dwarf that orbits Alpha Centauri A and B at a distance of 13000 AU, or 0.2 LY - a remote enough orbit that it makes sense to keep track of whether it's on the near side or far side of the triple-star system.
You can have plenty of self esteem and resiliency and also decide based on evidence that an activity may not be the best use of your time. If you respect a teacher's evaluation of your performance in a subject and the teacher's evaluation is that you don't have the maturity to learn from them, it may make much more sense to try other things than insist on forcing them to teach you anyways. People don't have to intend to say cruel things in order to be cruel-- for example, you don't have to intend to hurt someone who recently miscarried by talking about your successful pregnancy and its definitely not considered the fault of the person who is grieving. Similarly a professor doesn't have to intend to be discouraging in order to be discouraging.

Hi FujiApple,

We use the sts:AssumeRole policy to create temporary short-lived credentials for us to get access to the AWS APIs on your behalf. The assume role permission is constrained only to the policy we've defined on our landing page and in our app, which are read-only + the ability for us to manage your reservations on your behalf.

Google does obey robots.txt, but there are a lot of crawlers that identify as GoogleBot that are not from google.
Not a huge problem if, after the robots terraform the planet and build our settlements, I can opt to be printed into a new organic body.

We'll still need some form of magical propulsion or, worse, some magical power source. There aren't many things that can keep providing energy for thousands of years. I'm pretty sure fission is a non-starter here and even nuclear fusion designs would need a source of tritium because, after a couple thousand years, there won't be much left of the initial fuel.
Our repo has nearly 15k .cs files across 700 .csproj files. If we can do this successfully, I think anyone can.
> Unfortunately it seems like no one has been willing to teach the author what mathematics is.

You're assuming there's only one answer to "what mathematics is" and that it coincides with your view. You appear to be a fan of doing math, but far more people use math.

I'm not a mathematician. To me, it's a tool that can be used to solve the problems I care about. I don't get joy from spending hours proving results just to say I did it - but I understand that others do. In spite of that, if I can understand the conditions in which an algorithm will converge to the solution, I can benefit from studying math.

> if youre not extracting a profit from people enjoying the art, why are you advocating for it? what is your skin in the game? if youre only advocating it to get rid of it by selling it, i dont think thats a genuine advocacy for the piece.

There's an emotional state associated with having paid money, sometimes a lot of money, for something which makes you want to get something in return. That something can be as simple as collective discussion of the art you bought, or propagation of its image into the real world through murals and commissioned derivatives.

It doesn't have to be a speculative interest in re-selling, though I agree that most people entering the space are exclusively interested in the latter.

I would ask for an independent study to confirm this. On the surface at least this sounds unlikely (to put it mildly).

It seems like the issue was more that the class was not only bad for her but poorly structured in general - it would be a good thing for non math majors to learn topics like linear algebra but the department could set up classes differently to better teach them.
yes it's still being produced. publications like the believer make it easier to find. you gotta be plugged into writers to know where to look otherwise. the quality is great, regardless of it being in a publication or self published, though a curated publication with editors and an aesthetic vision is obviously, in most cases, better.
'Ram' implies some degree of speed. That truck very slowly and carefully pushed the cyclist, who was blocking traffic, aside, without injuring them.
Okay, so go to office hours or a math center (if available, apparently quite common).

I certainly don't want to be misquoted as claiming that mathematics must be learned in a vacuum. Just that access to a large collection of questions and answers is not helpful. Your own argument goes through just as well to show that access to the answer isn't helpful either: you know you got the wrong answer but you don't know why.
> Stuff like basic groups/rings/fields or is it a more advanced class?

No, it's usually basics like functions, graphs, and trigonometry. It's basically a remedial class for what students didn't learn in highschool.
I know of people who have paid to get on that list. That cheapened it for me, and made me see it for what it was...

What was more alarming was that it wasn't even that much money (around 5k USD, I believe).
Right? I don't understand how you are holding billions of dollars of cryptocurrency on cloud storage without losing your mind to anxiety.
The problem is that judicial review takes time and only important cases get heard. For example Biden quite literally said that he issued a executive order extending the moratorium on evictions knowing that the courts would over turn it, but he said at least it would buy more time for people so he would do it anyways. Knowingly doing something that will get overturned still isn’t enough to impeach someone is very odd. If we look at the count of executive orders issued by each president, the current president has issued more in 1 year than the last 6 presidents issued in their entire 4 year terms. The problem is having the Supreme Court review those would take a review of a new order every single week of the year.

I went to the University of Waterloo and took a "Intro to CS for non-math students" course. The thing was designed and taught by CS faculty, so naturally they taught you the basics of programming using math.

I spent more time re-learning high school math than actually learning programming. And not because it was directly related, but because some lessons were like, "write a function in Java that factors a quadratic." So 90% of that tutorial was me re-learning what the heck a quadratic is and how to factor it.

The experience really sucked and I gave up on university programming courses and just started learning it all practically and on my own terms.

Edit: Enjoy this wonderfully styled course page: https://student.cs.uwaterloo.ca/~cs125/S08/Resources/Admin/C...
> In upper-level courses, professors would work through one problem on the board for the entire class. Turns out, they'd do it wrong about half the time.

In my experience, such errors always were in the mechanical parts of the proofs, not in their main structure, and easy to spot and correct for the students, in the sense that at least one spotted them, and told the teacher.
But what incentivises the students to take a class that so many won't pass? I don't really understand the American university system but surely the sensible choice would be to take a course you're most likely to pass?

I guess its possible to learn stuff from a course you fail, but you should be able to find a course that you're likely to pass and learn something from?
You live in China, clearly are enamores with it, and yet you’re completely unbiased. Right.

Negative numbers show up in nature all the time - they represent how much smaller a particular set of things is than what was defined as the 0 set. Sure, you can't have -5 rocks, but if you're counting how many more rocks you have than when you started counting gains and losses, -5 rocks is a reasonable quantity.
AirTags do sort of change the tracking game. GPS trackers need a relatively large power supply and some kind of data connection. Tile devices are not ubiquitous, and their tracking network is limited to other Tile users.

AirTags have a huge advantage in that they use ALL iPhones as part of the tracking network, regardless of whether the iPhone owner has an AirTag themself. This allows them to work over short ranges with a tiny battery as they only need to be close enough to any iPhone for them to be trackable.
Fair comment, but I don't think that amounts to "overthrow". If that were the case, many mass protests could be categorized as wanting to "overthrow" some government (official, local, state, national). Pussyhat, YellowVest, BLM, someone wanting the sheriff to resign, etc., depending on how you interpret their demands. I think that is unfair and I disagree.

Making demands of and petitioning the government is a basic right of the electorate in democratic governments.
