It would be a disaster, as in, something that might be conceivably even worse than what we've got now.

1. There's no way that parents could choose quality schools, especially if there was enough churn in the market.

2. Maximizing profits would be at odds with providing sufficient capacity, meaning that there would be shortages of "seats" and possibly even regions with effectively no schools.

3. There would be continual bail-outs of "too big to fail" school operators, and schools that go bankrupt after exhausting their start-up capital.

4. It would be a logistical nightmare if parents can't find nearby schools for their kids. Imagine each family logging a couple of hours per day on the road transporting kids to schools.

The state would still have to function as the back-up for school failures and capacity shortage, basically providing the inefficiency needed to guarantee access to everybody.

Have you read the article? All comments so far has had nothing to do with the contents of the article which is the point of the post.

Your comment is not how Indologists approach Hinduism studies. The texts are considered the Intellectual Artifacts of a Culture which seems to have thought hard about the Universe and Man's place within it. As such they are a compendium of varied Worldviews and the current challenge is to see what relevance they may have to today's World and how to apply them. This is the "proper" study of Philosophy as a "Practical" discipline.
If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend Coppola’s film Peggy Sue Got Married. It’s not as well known as some of his others, but it’s incredible. Funny and poignant at the same time.
I don’t think it’s evil. I think it doesn’t work. We have all the evidence in the world that proves this. Children need 2 parents that are involved.
If you've not programmed before, and you match Alice's way of thinking, then you can get to know what programing entails, and how to get started, in the roughest approximation.

For the most part, most skills I've learned are like this... learn the basic rules, master the basic rules, then learn when to break the rules, and make new ones.

I had access to cameras, and could have bought one for myself, for a fairly large chunk of my life. It wasn't until digital cameras showed up that I could afford, that I became interested in photography, at age 34. In a similar way, I can see that someone could take up an interest in programming from out of the blue.

Like my path with photography, it was just taking photos, and learning how to get better results that kept it interesting. Time went by, and I got better over time. Programming is the same way.

Cameras and techniques change, as do Compilers and accepted practices.

I'd be surprised if most competent programmers don't do this kind of thing on their own.
This reminds me of a very poor interview question I asked a couple of times (and then never asked again because it is a terrible, terrible, interview question).

The snake cube puzzle [1] is a puzzle where you have to fold up a string of 27 cubes, with fixed "turns" like the shapes in the OP, into a 3x3x3 grid.

The goal was not to find a solution to the puzzle, but to find the smallest 2d area the snake could fit into without folding against itself. It turned into a modeling problem (how do you represent the puzzle in code?) and a recursion problem (try all possible folds), but, uh, even with a physical puzzle to play with, it was a little too abstract

A commenter on the link below asked another question over 13 years ago: can the puzzle be folded into a plane without any holes? Obviously if you just lay out the puzzle from end to end it will be in a plane, and without any holes, so maybe the question should be: what is the smallest 2d area the snake can fit into without creating any holes?

Right but it’s about the values put into you as you’re raised. There’s a big difference there.
This looks pretty secure to me. Most of the time, I just have to click forgot password and it is basically the same thing.
Ranked players maybe top 10% of all players? Purely guessing.
Coppola's 82, so aside from the usual troubles directors have getting projects, you gotta figure studios are also gonna be kind of nervous funding a guy with a non-trivial chance of dying or being otherwise incapacitated during the course of making the film, leaving them with a half finished project.
Your comment wasn't an "opinion based on facts" but a needless rant which distracted from the purpose of the post.
'Flexible Hours' Often Mean More Work–Especially for Women
Mississippi is one of the worst performing states in the US (by multiple metrics[0]), to quote state policy (Mississippi Code Ann. Section 37-151-77):

> 28.3 Student teacher ratios do not exceed 30 to 1 in self-contained classes serving
grades 5-8. {MS Code 37-151-77} A one-year waiver may be requested for classes that
do not exceed more than two (2) students beyond the allowable student teacher ratio.

And:

> 28.4 Student teacher ratios do not exceed 33 to 1 in departmentalized academic core
classes serving grades 5-12. {MS Code 37-151-77} A one-year waiver may be requested
for classes that do not exceed more than two (2) students beyond the allowable student

Fortunate! That's very fortunate!

No such thing unless your basis for it is incomplete or corrupted.
> Teachers who habitually pick nemesis students year after year, to single out for uniquely harsh punishment and public derision. From what I've seen myself and heard from others, it's a serious and widespread problem, and has been for generations.

It's a case of basic animal social order: someone has to be the low bird in the pecking order. If it's not a kid it'll be the teacher.

> How can this be solved though?

Keep the ratio of kids to adults low, 6:1 is probably the outer limit. Also the adults should be sane and emotionally mature.
Bringing a lot of money doesn’t mean it’s stable. Search traffic to google is putting all of your eggs in one basket and putting you at odds with your users interest.
I would counter with the idea that seniority and programming ability are inversely proportional via The Gervais Principal (mentioned on hn again just recently)
That makes me think, doctors and lawyers have intensive training to minimize risk for other persons, each day our field has more impact on other's life, I wonder if we are heading to something similar...
It also come down to providing better options to folks who don’t want to be or shouldn’t be parents. Lots of kids being born into homes that will fail them, even if you shoveled fiat into the household.

> The markets are doing their thing. Everyone sees tech workers making money and just generally having a good time and they think: “Hey that sounds like a good career choice”.

It seems like you could replace tech workers with any other profession that sounds like a good career choice.

Can literally everyone (or even the majority) learn to code? Do they want to learn to code? In my experience, the answer to both questions is no.
I was actually thinking about Tay-Sachs this morning on a walk, after I passed by a church with a billboard out front that says "Christ died for all, even babies in the womb".

I learned about Tay-Sachs in high school biology. I think we watched a short documentary on it, as an example of genetic inheritance, and the importance of enzyme function. I remember being so surprised that something so simple (absence of one protein) could be so horrible. A beyond-grim prognosis, and immeasurable/unavoidable suffering for everyone involved. Since then, it's been something that I can't reconcile with the existence of a higher benevolent being. I'm no expert, but it made a lasting impression on me.

I'm so uplifted that researchers have made progress on curing this senseless disease.
If so, then there's no point in ever debating a mathematical idea.

Titanium dioxide is a white pigment. It is very common - and used in two thirds of pigments.

It's also used in almost anything else colored in your life... I don't know why this paper would target face masks specifically apart to get more press interest.
The first two seconds I thought it was the same director as “Don't Hug Me I'm Scared.” There’s a very similar aesthetic with the stuffed animals.

It reeks of pity, by younger people who haven't accepted their own mortality and can't empathize or see any value in aging.

Millennials probably need at least another decade on average to get it.
I’m not sure how that relates to this at all? If you think anything I wrote is untrue then point out which specific items.
>because otherwise, schools and teachers are going to be put on the hook for conditions that are simply outside their control.

Or worse, we will see standards continue to erode in an unrealistic, sociologically suicidal pursuit of equity rather than accept that ability is rather unevenly distributed.

Sounds like Firefox hasn't implemented the API. No surprise, Firefox is always miles behind on stuff users actually want. It works with the native share box on Edge Android.
Worst-case you parse the script and block it if the AST is too similar.

There are a million ways to detect and block this sort of thing when you control the client. Yes, it's harder than just blackholing a whole domain, but it's hardly impossible.
This is what I’m interested in. Article itself did not mention cross site tracking.

There's another, indirect benefit to blocking JavaScript.

Over time I have noticed a strong correlation between sites which don't work right without JS and low-quality content which I regret having spent time reading.

Most of the time I encounter one of these sites I now just close the tab and move on with a clear conscience.
Taken to its logical conclusion, this process reminds me of anti-virus software: finding code signatures and flagging sketchy code.
There's no way to fight this unless ... you pass legislation against it or comparable technologies, preferably at a policy level.
Student performance doesn't entirely depend on individual circumstances, it depends on the environment and the other students around them. The special ed students require more resources. E.g. they usually have more staff, sometimes 1:1 aides, dedicated rooms, special classes. Beyond the resources explicitly allocated for them, they also take up common resources. E.g. if they are mixed into a normal class, the teacher usually has to spend disproportionately more time on them, either 1:1 in the classroom or in prep for customized learning plans.

Informally bad students are worse in some ways since they don't necessarily get additional resource allocation (like an ESL or special ed student would), but will distract the rest of the classroom.

It would only make sense if they completely segregated those students, which (AFAIK) is very bad for those students.
NGINX is also more portable. It runs on more architectures and operating systems than .NET/C#.

I can literally throw a stick and hit several devices in my office that NGINX runs on but C# does not.
A better phrasing is “Does anyone use technical analysis exclusively?” …and, perhaps, “As a trader or investor?” A select few billionaires have made their fortune through programmatic trading but I suspect the data is not restricted to stock price history.

I suspect the market has the quality of the particle-wave duality. A little Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle in play.

Edit: (e.g. once you find a TA method that works exceptionally well, and the market learns of it, it’ll cease to work as well. Hence the teams of developers at all the firms and funds.)
I should go back to Lynx.
Yea, I think we're saying the same thing. Ultimately both the best choice (for privacy, performance etc.) and the one that's most likely (given adblockers and and ever increasing push for privacy from browsers and OSs) is to stop trying to find a way around adblockers, and simply invest in the technologies that work - http, cookies, sessions, logins, and os on.
That's brilliant!

I don't think it was supposed to be that way, but who knows what lurks in the hearts of the people who made the ad?
Because lower power machines can't run as many guests? I'm nothing like an expert in data center power consumption and relative efficiencies, but the last I had heard was that it was generally more efficient to cram a lot of users on high-end hardware rather than trying to run everybody on enough low end hardware to match the same overall throughput.
Sorry I can't understand the article, but does server side Google tag manager already out?
It provides a modicum of social and legal enforcement. A website with any sort of brand risks legal and PR costs if they violate DNT. I'm happy for them to take that risk.

Though I see now that the whole thing has fallen through since around 2019: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_Not_Track. Oh well.

Going back to my original comment, if there's a better way to read say the NYTimes without being tracked by the NYTimes, I'd like to hear it.
The only reasonable way to interact with the modern web is to disable everything by default including images, cookies, CSS, JavaScript, video, frames etc and then develop strategies for interacting with each website. Either in the browser or in reimplemented frontends like nitter/bibliogram or externally using things like yt-dlp, gallery-dl, woob etc.

Edit: oh and only contact the web via Apple private relay or Tor etc.
No, the gtag in the browser sends all the data to the server-side proxy. Then on the server-side config you can pick which parts of the data to share with 3rd parties. So there is still client side data capture, its just reduced to one component capturing the data.

Magnetrons are basically like a sportsball coach's whistle, except it's electrons instead of air resonating.

The filament in them apparently lasts for decades, as you can usually find working Microwave ovens at yard sales for $20.

On the other hand, this is essentially most of a phased array radar, with all the attendant cost and complexity. The costs will come down, but not anywhere close to that of the magnetron.
I used to run NoScript then at some point (maybe switched browsers?) I stopped using it. You've persuaded me to re-enable it.

Also - Firefox on mobile supports NoScript!
Not sure if x86-64 REX prefixes count as "core" by your definition, but REX prefixes are incredibly wasteful and basically throw away all the code size gains that x86 would otherwise get over competing instruction sets. For most instructions, 4 bits are wasted to signal REX, and usually at least 1 more bit is wasted on register extensions not used by the instruction, particularly the SIB index extension. If you limit yourself to 32-bit x86, then yeah, x86 is pretty compact.

Skimmed too fast indeed you missed this: “ …I'm also not referring to 95%-ile among people who practice regularly. …” I think anyone in the leaderboard rankings is consciously learning like you. He means 95th-ile among everyone who plays casually.

It's not about what you're allowed to do, it's about what professionals in a field need to do to get to the top.

I've been programming since I was 8. I've been drawing since I was 29. I will probably never reach the same percentile of drawing ability that I have with programming ability. That's okay for me because I enjoy it anyway, but from the perspective of training people to do their best work, starting younger can lead to higher ability.
IQ is only a valid metric for intelligence when someone "low IQ" is up for the death penalty. In all other circumstances, its a fake stat that doesn't really measure anything and can't predict anything.

"the IRS doesn't know X because Y isn't required to report X".

They are required to report it. Only the current reporting is that an individual is being sent numerous pieces of mail. It could instead be that the IRS gets these (systematically) and sends a person the compiled tax form for validation.

Can you recommend any modern glue languages with the following attributes?

To paraphrase Mike Masnick: moderation at scale is basically impossible.
I have about 700 paper books collected over 20 years (though I did give away about 200 when I moved last year). About 70% are nonfiction, 30% fiction. I used to read more fiction as a younger person, but now that I'm older I tend to go for more serious non-fiction.

I've moved approximately 10 times across 3 countries, and my books travel with me. They form the bulk of the weight of my belongings -- fortunately I always worked for multinationals and moving/packing costs were always fully covered as part of my relocation packages. I think I had 40-50 boxes worth of books for my last move.

I own e-books too but I'm not a big fan because I get distracted too easily by digital devices and am not able to muster the deep attention needed to get through a book. So I read paper books. I usually have 1 in the bathroom, 2-3 in the car that I take with my to cafes and restaurants, and 2-3 that I read in my living room.

I don't finish all the books I start -- I'm an incorrigible book non-completist. But I usually manage the extract enough value that I don't really need to finish. Most modern books are 80% fluff written to satisfy book publishers. The core message can usually be conveyed in around the length of an essay.

In reality, we will likely see some aspects of software development become less well compensated, while other aspects will continue to be rare and highly valued.
Lazarus brings Turbo Pascal/Delphi forward into the current world. You can build GUI programs in Linux, Windows, MacOS by pretty much drag/drop of the controls into a form, then filling in the event handlers. It's open source, and likely one of the lowest barriers to entry available.
Yea. Though, GA does (at least) two things: analyzes your own data, and, uses the data they collect from all their other sites to improve your experience via better bot detection, recommendations, insights. Google's network is useful, like it or not, for a) their cross device graph - they know which mobile devices and which desktop browsers are the same user (ish) and b) from that, building better MTA models than you can with pure first-party data - especially if most of your traffic isn't logged in.

But I agree, the future is pointing toward a world where privacy and empowerment is more in the hands of the user, and that's a good thing.

Bad analogy.

It's more like Target, Walmart, and Best Buy recording everything you do in the store (where your eyes go, what you say to your spouse, etc.) and then selling that information to random companies you've never interacted with, including each other.

Together, they can create a comprehensive log of everything you do outside (and inside!) your house and secretly sell it.

This isn't even an analogy. With Alexa and Google Home, we should expect that it's literally happening.
Compared to law and medicine, programming is still a young profession. The field is evolving rapidly, and a lot of people are joining it. If the incentives remain as high as now, supply might eventually outstrip demand.
They are just dividing total consumption of data by total consumption of energy. While I would imagine both have risen substantially, I would imagine that consumption of data has risen by some multiple of consumption of energy.
