To first order, you can solve the regrade and homework issue with policy: gate regrades on completion of homework assignments, and limit the number of regrades that may be submitted per week.

You need a rate limiter to prevent students from just spamming regrades until the evaluation returns "A", and you want to incentivize the desired behavior--homework is intended to help students develop skills.

If you want to learn more, some useful keywords and phrases to find cutting edge thought: "ungrading", "Standards Based Grading", "learning objectives-based assessment"

There is literature on this, but don't let that stop you! It's much more fun to speculate about pedagogical practices based solely on what you remember from high school and college.
> I’ve personally seen a video of a shiite menacingly threatening a couple of Syrian refugee kids with a knife in Lebanon. Kids are not spared here.

Syrians can be Shiites too .. and how do you know the threats were not directed at them for being, say, foreigners, which is unfortunately a common reaction to refugees around the world.
Well, that's to be concluded.

An additional stress on the system could make the problem exponentially worse.
my local library will let you check out a portable induction hob.

The last time i checked, the waiting list was about a month long, which certainly speaks to the interest in the idea.

As long as my rangeware doesn't warp, I'm all for more even heating! It didn't occur to me until very recently that a reason why pans might warp on an induction hob is that they can now heat up fast enough to thermal shock on the way up, not just on the way down (by, e.g., taking the pan you just seared meat off in and dunking it in cold dishwater)

"Although induction technology has been around for decades and is established in Europe, it has yet to catch on extensively here. According to Consumer Reports, induction cooktops and ranges are installed in only under 5 percent of homes in the United States."

That's why, for a european like me, an article like this one seems totally extraneous to hacker news front page
It would be very interesting project, because UEFI also puts emphasis on unified UI stack - yes, you can do stupid bling setup interface still, but there's somewhat unified UI toolkit available + standardised ways to create configuration options for devices.

This way, a screenreader could hook into the UI toolkit and provide a good interface.
Was already the issue with BIOSes, in an era with much less interest in firmware security.
> If you doubled enrollment you would not double your Nobel output

Maybe they should just give out more Nobel prizes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

> and over overtime you might reduce it as the students who will go on to earn one preferentially select more elite institutions to study at.

1. Can Nobel winning students be identified beforehand ?

2. doesn’t it depend on the school research programs? Does doubling a program affect research departments?
Yes! That's the correct URL.

> Up to mid 20's, yes.

Are you by any chance over 25 but under 40? :)

I think it’s inarguable that experience is valuable, and age correlates very well with experience up to that mid-20s point, but around that point people start to settle into a groove and the extra n years experience is actually just the same year’s experience repeated n times.
Some FAQ items address this:

https://github.com/giltayar/proposal-types-as-comments#why-n...

Various good reasons, like how it would hinder TS evolution and you'd end up having to compile TS to whatever older version of TS the slowest implementors support anyways.

But one interesting point is that type analysis is for the developer's benefit. What is the imagined benefit and behavior of pushing type analysis over the wire with the code to be run on the end-user's machine?

I think comment forms should not accept a double submit of the same thing within 10 seconds.

Also, I suspect some of the delay in handwritten stuff is important processing like antispam checks.

CPU and network efficiency are wonderful things. But if a lightweight solution can't provide the same level of features and convenience as a modern package, I would toss it without a second thought.

My original personal site was handmade HTML with a PHP header. I eventually got rid of it for DokuWiki and never looked back.

That wasn't ancient Rome, though. Poor people in Rome lived in (or around) insulae - apartment buildings.
This is the #1 heuristic in the old Nielsen usability principles. It's called 'visibility of system status'.

Users have been trained by years of experience that errors are often immediate, while real 'work' takes a little while to happen. From that POV the conclusion is correct - adding an artificial delay is the common solution, though it can also be handled by other forms of feedback.

In this case, the success message is appended after the form. A few tweaks that could help:

- make the fields become read-only after submission

- hide the submit button after success

- replace the whole form with the success message

These would help both to eliminate confusion, without the introduction of artificial delay, and to prevent double submission.

For anything with a niche target audience - sure.

You're not going to have multiple locations, good actors, good writing, good composition, quality cinematography, etc - unless you're incredibly talented and not counting how much your time is actually worth.

Films for a wide audience these days basically require - at a minimum - 6 specialists working for a month of shooting. Plus 5+ actors.

The absolute minimum that costs in labor - if you actually counted the value of your time - is ~$200k+.

A good script itself is worth well over $100k...

Realistically - it's almost impossible to make something with wide appeal for less than $2m in the US - or $1m internationally.
When you do the 2-3x (minimum) for wind and solar + keep the coal plant around and ready to go at a moments notice, including stockpile fuel and maintain it, it starts getting really expensive really fast.

If the comments aren't published automatically, but await your manual review, then why didn't you go with "comment by emailing me"? Was speed the motivation?

Depends how much area you want to repurpose (note that it includes roads, power lines, and regular tree trimming near those power lines in addition to the turbines themselves), but I'd estimate that with current and projected Finnish population density, this would actually be a realistic option, yes.

Now that I think of it, I've never anyone speak of the impact on wildlife, nor seen a wind turbine in a forest (only ever on open farmland). Considering both noise and large shadows moving constantly, I assume it will have some impact. (I did hear that bird strikes are a non-issue in relative terms.) Even Wikipedia has no info on anything but birds/bats for on-shore installations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impact_of_wind_p...

Edit: double checked that Finland is actually mostly forest: [PDF] https://www.eea.europa.eu/themes/landuse/land-cover-country-... Screenshot from relevant part of PDF: https://snipboard.io/KFDEIr.jpg

The 9+5+4=18% water bodies, arable land, and pastures/mosaics (respectively) might also be a good target.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_power_density says 1.84 W/m², so at 18% of 338'662 "hundreds ha" = 61 billion m² you get 112 GW which translates into 983 TWh after a year (8760 hours). Looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_in_Finland that's 2.6 times more energy than they used in 2013 (this includes heating, driving, etc. but not things like imported clothes, plastic products, etc.). All this is considering only the land area, not sea.

Future work: calculate how many years of monopolizing the world's steel production it takes to get these things produced, much less built in the middle of nowhere with frozen winters.
It's not the incrementing the integer that was the problem. It was the knowingly accessing records that you know you shouldn't have access to. If judyrecords had a method of crawling pages that involves incrementing integers, that isn't a problem on its own. If they were using that method with a good faith belief that they were accessing data they had the right to access, that's fact is what makes it an entirely different scenario than what happened with weev.
The US also has very large stocks on states like Utah and Arizona. Generally hasn’t been considered economically worthwhile since WW2 however.
There's less unrestricted access with UEFI than with old-fashioned option rom, especially with how you can 1) prevent loading of an option rom by banning its signature 2) register override for the device.

Also, now there's much less code in option rom, leading to much more coherent system. Yes, it is easier to attack, but so is any system where you can expect a standard ABI&API vs. one where you need to randomly poke things.

they don’t glow from heat but they can glow by design: for safety reasons, some have lights that simulate glowing from heat. I guess the choice of image is a little curious, given the primary distinction between induction vs. traditional is, typically, the absence of external heat.
As a frontend developer, this is maybe even more true. At my first job I only used jquery. In my second job I used react. My third required Vue. If companies would be so stingy about specific tech stacks, it would be impossible to move forward.
People normally get mute in stressful situation. They normally have troubles to express things, they talk in weak voice, whisper or not at all. They have one word answers to complex questions. And anything in between. Some dissociate and act normal or follow normal script by routine.

They don't whisper to the phone, they will put more conscious effort to talk into 911 call ... or the shaken mute person won't be the one making call.

You seriously never had to ask people to talk louder in noise environment? The "people yell" assumption is artifact of movies, not reality.
> No economy. No infrastructure. No housing. Little of value except a concept

Coastline could be the answer to all of those. Ships are housing and have their own self-contained infrastructure. Fishing and transport are a few major economic activities of significant value. With motivation, time, and a bit of capital, this could turn into something. I just wouldn't bet on it.
UEFI provides an interface to register code that runs in SMM, true.

SMM being a requirement is a side effect of x86 history and platform design, not UEFI (which doesn't actually require SMM).

Lots of good points here, but maintenance work for profitable systems seems like a valid use of time.

Now, some profitable systems are slowly bitrotting and tenured engineers can keep busy doing routine work while failing to address or escalate the bitrot. But I think people who are good at making sure boring and stable things stay boring and stable are usually underappreciated.
Indeed. There's a large telegram group of engineers fleeing out of Russia.

Almost all want to flee/relocate Europe/US/Canada.

Why should you feel bad about it? You’re learning from your life experience. I too cringe at stuff I believed before I was mid-30s and married with three kids. I’m also slowly becoming my dad. A lot of that’s due to having seen a lot of things that made me realize my worldview when I was young had been limited. (Freedom of choice and freedom from norms sounds great when you’re young and feel invincible and think you’re in control of your destiny, but less so when you live life and see tons of people making all sorts of bad decisions that you managed to avoid because you did what your square parents told you to do.) That’s life.
I've found the same over the past 4 years. Escaping the overburden of 'first world' countries can be extremely liberating and help get shit done.

Now that I'm hiring staff this stuff actually applies but whenever there is information presented it's "speak to a legal representative" as the bottom line. When you speak to someone pro bono it's "depends on what country you're in, been in, born in, planning to stay in", then when you finally pay it's still your responsibility if something gets messed up.

There's companies out there that claim to solve these problems for you, I fired one of them this week because they couldn't get the basics of pay the people on time right.

UEFI is not persistent by itself - anything that is persistent was also persistent on BIOS-based systems. The only remaining elements of UEFI that are accessible after ExitBootServices() call (done by OS during boot) is interface to edit NVRAM variables and a way to register so-called "capsules" (used, for example, for firmware updates.)
We were just talking about this over lunch yesterday (software engineers at a medical device company). I won’t dismiss calculus, but it was generally agreed that linear algebra and statistics were most important, at least for what we’re doing.
It might help to have some rationale or at least anecdotes.

The people nobody(tm) likes are the ones that insist on things without knowing why and/or without any relevant experience. They read it in a blog, or someone told them that's better, Google does it, cargo cult etc.

Start by assuming your coworkers have their reasons why they do something, not because their standards are lower. Maybe it's not worthwhile to spend time on making something a little more perfect when there's other more valuable things to invest your time in.

On the other hand, it is possible that your peers truly have lower standards, less experience, and don't understand what they're doing. Unfortunately there's no easy solution to that. It's possible that by being the annoying guy that always nitpicks you will be able to drive some improvement, but it'll take its toll on you. As others said, lead by example works somewhat. The problem though is that sometimes the "why" in software engineering only happens after many years.

I'll also second the idea of doing your code review with those people as a discussion vs. an offline process where you leave comments that can be interpreted in different ways.

Omicron is a lot less lethal then vanilla covid, thats just a reality. We started the pandemic with the threat of every 10th infected needing supplementary oxygen and the number of patients needing hospitalization went down with every mutation. By now the risk is a lot closer to the flu. You could of course say every death is one too many, but thats not the reality we live in. We do accept quite a lot of deaths as a cost of our daily life. And measures curbing the spread arent free either, they come with a death toll itself. So unless i am missing something here i am calling double standard.

My (Samsung) induction-capable cooktop has resistive heating as a "backup" for cookware that is not induction-compatible. Theoretically this can be disabled using an app, although the app has never worked.
This is far from the only example.

But for this specific example, that’s all I have from memory, the details are lost together with the video. Many of these disappear from Youtube because of Youtube’s strange ToS and flagging system. Facebook and Twitter also deleted a lot of documentation of the war.

In any case, there are still plenty of material out there. I’m not saying anything that’s not already well-established, that there is plenty of oppression against sunnis by the shia. Look at the Syrian regime, Irans involvment in various war-torn countries, the terror-organization Hezbola, shia militias in Iraq. The evidence is already out. Denying this is more absurd than denying Russias aggression against Ukraine, if we judge by the amount of testimonies and footage there is out there, and for how long the conflict has been going on.
Who cares what you think - or what I think? Who are you or anyone to define what these women do or want - and then weakly try to appeal to authority by assigning your opinions the words "actual feminine virtues"? Many men used to define those 'virtues' as not working, voting, having an opinion, and as being obedient, sexy, and sexually available to them (but not to other men!) - how convenient!

> sexualized female body

So? Does it intimidate you? Should they hide or show their bodies based on what you prefer, or on what you think is right? Who the f- are you (or I) to have an opinion on what they should do. Should I have an opinion on what you do?

Meanwhile, women fight wars, run countries and corporations. They don't post much on Hacker News - look at this discussion of men saying what women should do, just like the old days. I wonder why we don't see more women here?
My viewing is pretty broad, I’ve seen these movies except Magnolia. What you are describing is the placing of a movie in a cultural context. This is criticism, not learning on an individual level. For example, take Mulan. I can generate a feminist counter-critique that the new Mulan is in fact better because women are born with special qualities men don’t have, and often are superior when given equal opportunities. This isn’t a lesson the movie teaches however, it’s academic bloviating.

I mean I think actual existentialist philosophers would laugh if you tried to tell them that Lost in Translation is an existentialist movie. Also I think you mean ennui not anomie.
It's almost like delivering a physical newspaper costs more than a digital one. Who would have thought?

There are conversations and then there are conversations. The dinner party conversations are ephemeral, often in a smaller groups than the whole of the attendees. This is discourse in a small group where there is high bandwidth communication and nothing is recorded verbatim for posterity. Opinions can be malleable, folks may change their mind in the course of conversation.

Online forums have much smaller bandwidth and much larger pool of participants. Nuance in expression is terribly limited to the ASCII character set. What ever you've written, whether a thoughtful paragraph or two, or just adding a short bit of flavouring to the discussion is now cast in stone for all time.

My suspicion is that the size and durability of online forums is antithetical to nuanced discussion.
