Have you read the original TDD book by Kent Beck? The book is not dogmatic at all, it just proposes tests as a way to move forward when the scope is too big to keep everything in your head.

Most blogs I see on TDD actually go against the original principle. Coverage is a side effect, not the goal.

Kent Beck's the kind of down to earth programmer many would look up to, and part of it is because of how he wrote the original book.
I ran the two searches that were at the start of the article: "Real Life" and "Is there a god". When clicking "I'm Feeling Lucky" the difference in results between these two searches shows a preference towards Google's property, youtube, instead of the first result being the lucky property.

For "Real Life", there is a youtube video immediately at the top of the results, above ads and featured snippets. This youtube video is what is shown by clicking, "I'm Feeling Lucky." Despite this, the first result was only shown on my desktop when I hit pagedown twice and looked at the very bottom of the page.

However, the result that is returned by "I'm Feeling Lucky" for "Is there a god" is actually the first result and not any of the special content at the top. But in this case, there is no youtube video in the listings.

I may get downvoted into oblivion for saying this, but -- I think it's wishful thinking to imagine soldiers will make the 'right' decision when the call comes. During the Tiananmen Square debacle/massacre, interviews with people there indicate that many/most never imagined the "people's" army would act against them - they were considered on the same side. Yet act against them they did. Similarly, I think you see some of the comments from RCMP about recent horse tramplings, etc and are pretty shocked that these guys are all in on state use of force. I'm not singling out the RCMP, because you can see it in the US policing and probably any country (remember the t-shirt, "We get up early to beat the crowds"?), but it's a fresh example. People like to think those in the military and police are our neighbors and thus must be "on our side", and some are - but you gotta remember that these guys are purposefully trained to obey, and suffer a lot of hardship daily seeing the worst examples of society's degradation - such that "restoration of order" and "compliance" are righteous causes that they all too frequently cannot affect. The opportunity comes and maybe they're all too ready/eager to do so - pent up frustration and all. Again, I'm not trying to paint with a broad brush or make absolutist statements, but if that guy's job is to hit the "launch" button, rest assured that he's been through a few powerpoint presentations coaching him on how to deal with his second thoughts in the moment and been exposed to a lot of conditioning to impress expectations upon him. For "men of action", whether state-sponsored or not, part of the training/learning process is to be able to turn off visceral reaction and just get the job done - you are practiced in recognizing inconvenient and distracting thoughts as an impediment that you can power through, the same as a runner trains himself to break through bonking. So not only are we talking about individuals acting in opposition to their understood purpose in life, but add to that the social/peer pressure in the moment, add to that the guy with the 1911 pointed at his head when he shows hesitation. shrug

You're confusing portability with age. Just because something is old does not make it more portable. It arguably makes it less portable as new platforms will not support old language versions.

From the same NASAA FAQ:

>>Do I need to have a sponsor before I take the Series 63, 65, or 66? No. Unsponsored candidates who are not Form U4 registered or currently affiliated with a firm through FINRA’s Web CRD system should open an exam enrollment window via FINRA.org request and pay for the S63, S65, or S66 exams.

So if the S65 and the S63 are both required, then a person can do attempt both without requiring sponsorship from a financial firm. The additional cost of the S63 is another $147 on top of the $187 for the S65 (totaly exam cost $334).

It is interesting that Octopi die after laying their eggs - a 1-1.5 year lifespan in most, a little more in the large ones.
I makes me curious if octopi went through a period of overpopulation(for their niche) that lead to many starvation - abundance - starvation cycles until gene smarts capped their life span - else we be up to our gunwales with long lived octopi they breed very prolifically... a die young cycle.
Good article. I would add one more item to the list of important elements of metacognition: awareness of one’s own motivation to study and learn. In school contexts, motivation often comes from outside the learner: tests, grades, encouragement and inspiration from teachers, competition and cooperation with peers. If you want to learn something on your own, though, then it really helps to be able to monitor what motivates you to study and to be able to control those motivations.

I work in the field of second-language education. While the motivation provided by teachers and schools is useful, most adults need to dedicate years of study outside the classroom to become really proficient in a second language—especially if it is a foreign language that they do not use in daily life. Probably the biggest reason most people do not become as proficient as they would like in foreign languages is that they are unable to keep themselves motivated enough to continue studying. Better awareness of own’s own motivations can help.

My windows machine can run make and gcc natively. You don't need to be unix to run those platforms. I haven't watched fuchsia closely (last interfaced about 6 years ago, talked to a team member, who said that eventually it would be able to emulate unix enough to build and host a compiler).

I guess I should have put my question in a more useful way: why would I want to use this desktop, given its limitations compared to existing desktops? Is it ever going to be a development system? If not, I can't see how it would grow beyond being a device environment- in which case there probably shouldn't be a terminal anyway. Probably I'm asking for something which is not a goal of fuchsia, but in that case, I really can't get exicted about something that's supposed to replace Android and other OSes.
In this context, "metacognition" seems to be an education buzzword for a particular approach to optimizing learning. The stuff being talked about here is neither the same thing as epistemology nor immediately obvious from the broader meaning and uses of "metacognition".

It's not an argument, it is well documented fact. A cursory reading with any detail of the 2014 crisis will mention this. Russia has it's only warm water port in Crimea as per an agreement between Russia and Ukraine upon Ukraine's independence from the USSR. Ukraine joining NATO means Russia must withdraw from that port. This is militarily not an option for Russia, so you get the annexation of Crimea.

Each of the detectors has a detail graph of radiation over time if you click on it - a lot of them show a many-fold increase in radiation in the last few hours.

Particularly concerning are some near the reactor building itself that went to a fairly high reading very quickly (65500 nSv/h in one case, which is likely offscale high) and then stopped reporting at 21:50 local time (it's currently 03:30).

65500 nSv/h is definitely not 'you're going to die right now' radiation levels, but it's definitely getting into the territory of stuff you don't want stand around in for too long. If I've done the math right, I think that's about three times the allowed annual exposure for radiation workers every hour.

Edit: I think I didn't do the math right and am off by 1000x. 65500 nSv/h is like three chest x-rays an hour. Which is still not good, but would take quite a bit longer to get really dangerous.
I think the point is to start somewhere and nip this one in the bud.

There is no other moral stance where someone could reasonably say this. Veganism is a moral stance the same way as "racism is bad" and "abusing my spouse is bad" is a moral stance. No one would ever say "I'm trying to limit kicking dogs to just Tuesday-Sunday".

You're projecting. Veganism is _not_ a diet.
This is what I don't quite get. Perhaps eating octopi seems gratuitous since they are expensive and not integrated into everyday customs/life. But hard to imagine an octopus is on a higher status than a pig or a cow which are fairly close to us evolutionarily.
So we all just starve now because we can't eat plants? I don't like your plan.

Similarly, had NATO deployed 500k soldiers fully armed with modern weaponry in Poland, Lithuania and Rumania as Putin was building up his forces, and added a warning that Ukraine would be granted instant membership to NATO if he didn't pull back from the border, he probably would have pulled back from the border.

Had NATO forces been deployed in Ukraine four months ago, nobody would be making any nuclear threats today, veiled or otherwise.

In fact, there wouldn't have been an invasion to begin with. I am about 100% positive that Russian intelligence knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that they were picking a fight they could easily win. I am almost 100% positive that western intelligence knew that too, which is why its response was a bunch of bullshit about sanctions.
That is not how I read Putin. Instead what I'm seeing, is a person who is inherently nationalistic having experienced that his pride was hurt.

I see this tendency within many, if not most countries that have seen a decline in national power over some period, and were nationalists wanted to "Make <their country> Great Again".

Examples:
- Germany under Hitler
- Italy under Mussolini
- France after WW2, when they were quite nationalistic for decades, and certainly did NOT like that English had become the "Lingua Franca"
- Britain under Margaret Thatcher
- Russian under Putin
- MAGA
- And most important of all: China under Xi Jinping

Some of these movements were relatively harmless, some were (and are) very dangerous
Bret Devereaux discusses this at length here: https://acoup.blog/2020/03/20/collections-why-dont-we-use-ch...

In short, we didn't stop using chemical weapons because of ethics (if thats the case, we should've given up landmines, which kill far more civilians).

Rather, chemical weapons are expensive to operate and ineffective weapons in modern battlefields.

Here is the relevant snippet from the blog:

"During WWII, everyone seems to have expected the use of chemical weapons, but never actually found a situation where doing so was advantageous. This is often phrased in terms of fears of escalation (this usually comes packaged with the idea of MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction), but that’s an anachronism – while Bernard Brodie is sniffing around the ideas of what would become MAD as early as ’46, MAD itself only emerges after ’62). Retaliation was certainly a concern, but I think it is hard to argue that the combatants in WWII hadn’t already been pushed to the limits of their escalation capability, in a war where the first terror bombing happened on the first day. German death-squads were in the initial invasion-waves in both Poland, as were Soviet death squads in their invasion of Poland in concert with the Germans and also later in the war. WWII was an existential war, all of the states involved knew it by 1941 (if not earlier), and they all escalated to the peak of their ability from the start; I find it hard to believe that, had they thought it was really a war winner, any of the powers in the war would have refrained from using chemical weapons. The British feared escalation to a degree (but also thought that chemical weapons use would squander valuable support in occupied France), but I struggle to imagine that, with the Nazis at the very gates of Moscow, Stalin was moved either by escalation concerns or the moral compass he so clearly lacked at every other moment of his life."
To echo others, absolutely do not use Google SSO for anything you care about.

Not just google, do not use any third party authentication (Google, Apple, Facebook, etc) on any account you want to retain. (Apple is perhaps a bit less bad than Google & Faceboook, but you can find horror stories of locked Apple accounts on HN as well.)

When you do that, the account on the other site is tied to your google(apple/facebook/etc) account. If google(apple/facebook/etc) randomly decides to block your account one day for no reason then suddenly you're locked out not just from your google(apple/facebook/etc) account but from all unrelated accounts where you used their login.

So password manager all the way, with unique accounts on every site (and strong long unique passwords of course).

You'll also want to use an email address in a domain that you own, so you can't be locked out of that either.
" Kelly Nantel, a spokesperson for Amazon, said that Amazon called the police on Smalls for trespassing, and not the other two workers. “Mr. Smalls — who is not employed by Amazon — has repeatedly trespassed despite multiple warnings,” she said. “Today, when police officers asked Mr. Smalls to leave, he instead chose to escalate the situation and the police made their own decision on how to respond.” "

This makes it sound like he was given a option to leave and didn't.

I think a union would be Amazon's worst nightmare.

By all accounts octopus intelligence is extremely overblown. And "sentience" is an extremely low bar.

Compare the intelligence of a cow or pig or similar mammal to an octopus and the mammal will DESTROY the octopus. We tolerate farming these animals. Much to our own detriment in terms of health, and nutrition, and environmental impact, land usage, and water usage. Plus there is the problem of breeding MRSA. Plus they are horrible for our gut bacteria. Also they are sentient, intelligent creatures we subject to horrific environments. Keep in mind, I say this as someone who is NOT a vegan. But I digress...

Not to say octopus are not charming animals, and you should support eating and farming them. I just think it is a bit hypocritical to allow the farming of other sentient creatures.
"Especially, when things were designed long before these new spectrum allocations."

See my post about international radio regulations, the 5G service should not have been allocated if it was going to interfere with radar altimeters as that was (and still is) a 'going' service and it takes precedence under international radio treaties.

Thus, an aircraft from a country that's not under US jurisdiction expects to be able to land in the US without its radar altimeter being jammed by some unexpected local service. (It stands to reason that the safety of an aircraft that travels across international borders should not be endangered because of inference to its navigation equipment.)

This is the precise reason why international radio regulations exist! Under the treaty the 'interference' rules apply to ALL radiocommunication services.

If such regulations (standards) are deemed 'old' then they have to be changed at an ITU WRC meeting in Geneva and the item must appear on the meeting's agenda some years before said meeting takes place to give all countries adequate time to respond (as I mentioned elsewhere, I was once involved in that process).
