My sixth grader and first grader score in the 90+ %ile in mathematics and didn't come close to learning multiplication up to 12 in kindergarten. In fact, the topic isn't even covered until second grade at the earliest.

I think establishing a foundation of addition and subtraction takes far longer for children to master than you're considering, especially since there is evidence that children of this age appear to intuitively view numbers logarithmically rather than linearly [0].

I suppose you could take advantage of this by somehow prioritizing multiplication and division over addition and subtraction, but I think there's too much value in comprehension of linear numbers and addition/subtraction since that is the lion's share of interactions they will experience at that age.

On the other hand, if you're merely talking about abstracting multiplication and division into patterns, then I wholeheartedly agree with you, and there is evidence supporting this [1]. Although pattern identification is already part of kindergarten/1st grade curriculum here.

Ultimately, IMO the most important aspect of education in general is covered in the open letter linked to the OP:

> There cannot be a “one size fits all” approach to K-12 mathematical education.

My children have thrived with their current math curriculum, and I know some of their classmates have struggled in contrast. One size does not fit all in education, nor in many aspects of life.

I just want to add some anecdotal evidence and what my experience has been like with a popular antibiotic. Cipro has wrecked my connective tissue and nervous system. This family of drugs has been around for a long time. The side effects have been discussed in medical studies for years. The drug has a black box warning label. Yet it gets prescribed very often against the current FDA recommendation to only be used for life threating infections. I have talked to top physicians in the US and they literally just ignore the problem like it doesn't exist. I have connected with physicians, chemists and other people with PhDs from all over the world who suffered the same. A pharmacists I know was called crazy by her colleagues when she said what happened to her.

My primary physician has stopped prescribing the medication, I send pages of research to him, which he probably didn't have time to read but it validated what is going on with me. He was surprised I actually took the covid vaccine, as not only did cipro screw me up but the whole medical community also completely ignored me and kept asking about anxiety. When I clearly had mechanical issues with tendons. They ran a bunch of tests and told me I was healthy.

Recently, Dr. Stefan Piper released a book on FQAD (flouroquinolone associated disability) and discussed pathogenesis, possible causes and therapies he has been using on hundreds of patients by now. He is an actual MD. From his experience a subset of people who are diagnosed with fibro, cfs developed it after taking the an fq antibiotic. Currently, there is no way to test for it. However, Mayo clinic is doing a study right now, to see if flouroquinolones are causing damage to mitochondria.
We have our own asset fetching system which only loads in what is absolutely necessary, for example you don't need the entire game and can often get away with loading the first 5% or so. Everything else (assets) gets streamed in at runtime in the background.
Was some of the false statements said about Common Core match "woke" according to that definition?
That's usually step one. Historically, the policy you're referring to is broken, or is not specifically for "that". [1]

Updates are officially required. [2]

Each release makes it more difficult to positively force WU to fail with user-facing tools. So now, in 2022, after 13 major releases with different UIs, waasmedic logic, and policy effects, when I need to keep a computer online, I don't consider the options that I've found to have failed before (where failure is equal to rebooting). I kill the components of WU, repairs to WU, and repairs to the tools that repair WU.

As a result, or as a consequence, you decide, I usually don't get updates again for a long while.

This would seem to indicate it is hard to find Rails devs, which itself might indicate devs don't like Ruby/Rails. If devs liked it and the market was growing as fast as devs were learning or slower, then commissions would stagnate or go down. So either the number of open jobs is increasing, devs are leaving, it's harder to learn than the sales pitch indicates, or a combination.
We're still starting new greenfield projects in Rails every week, and I still believe it's the best foundation for SaaS products. It's great for developer speed and efficiency, the ecosystem of gems is amazing, and we've been able to scale every project we've needed to. We're incorporating React and GraphQL more these days for complex components and APIs but they pair nicely with Rails.
> You can have separation of education by ability, and progress, or you can have equality, and everyone being pulled down to the same low level.

This seems a little off. What we're talking about (and what it seems like you're defending) is directing more resources towards the most gifted. It's fine to believe that, but it's an argument to give the most to those who have the most. Nobody is pulling anyone down, and communists are as happy to grant power and resources to those with aptitude and connections as capitalists are.

edit: with the constant attacks on teachers, it might be more realistic to stop aiming for calculus in high school. Any kid who manages it within a gutted public system would have gotten there anyway, no matter what situation they found themselves in. They can download calculus books and calculus lectures now; with the internet a feral education is within everyone's reach.
Because, without it you will be at a great disadvantage in entering any STEM undergraduate program in the US.

Your shell thing is honestly fine. The emoji thing was a joke, sorry that wasn’t clear.

The thing is with 1 IP lookup in N addresses a grep is also fine, but with M IP lookups the set is O(1) instead of O(N) and that makes a difference.

It’s not just theoretical. Bash slowness adds up fast and you will need to upgrade to a real language anyway.

Example: IPv6 addresses need to be truncated to /64 but last prints them with 0 truncation. Good luck doing that in bash. You’ll need a fully fledged IPv6 address parser, if it’s code that has to survive.

You make a fine point, honestly, about what you can get away with in shell scripting. The bigger picture is that literally nothing ever survives the sticky fingers if many engineers over time if it is a shell script. It gets worse and worse until it is ported, at which point it begins a new life as maintainable code.

Bash is a shell. Not a programming language.

Why can we do both?

1. Make it possible for HS students who are interested in Calculus to take the course under the instruction from a college profess on the high school campus. That way it would be set up for students to get college credit for the class and they would not need to travel to a college campus or deal with the AP exam system.

2. Make it possible for HS students who are not interested (Yet) or at all to graduate with out taking the class. Lots of student are ready for Calculus until college anyway. No need to force them on a single path IMO.
Measuring only force, and not sound?
Possibly; the long-lived connections eventually have to end when reloads (note: restarts and reloads are different) happen, to free up resources -- otherwise they leak. (The grace period is configurable and can even be disabled.)

I had calculus before college, got a 5 on the AP calculus exam, and it did not seem to have prepared me in any way for college-level calculus. I always thought that had been a total waste of one of my senior year class periods.
Outside of the Django/Flask use case, not sure what this does:

How does it know what parameters to pass? Makes them up at random? Runs the whole file as a script? Does static analysis? Runs test suite?
Just FYI - I don't know if your response was intended to deflect on an eta but some might perceive it as that since you didn't indicate if 2022 would be the year. Which might imply to some that it's not.
I switched to a Mac recently, prior to that I'd been using Elementary OS. I'm still using the same monitor though (a large 4k display), so any visual differences are quite obvious to me.

The Mac is definitely fuzzier than Elementary; that clarity is the main thing I miss. It seems pretty obvious that modern MacOS is designed for high DPI displays.
The actual reason is rule 2.5.6 from the App Store review guidelines:

> 2.5.6 Apps that browse the web must use the appropriate WebKit framework and WebKit Javascript.

Sure, if Apple does the predictable thing and allows JIT compilation only for WebKit-based browsers, questions will be asked. But so far it has been impossible for anyone to just accept that tradeoff and publish a browser with their own engine anyway.
Nope, soon Apple will be required to compete with Chrome on features. As the largest company in the world, that shouldn't be an issue for them.
The amount of money you need to get an first time FHA loan is relatively low. You can easily get a 250k loan for about 11k down, and your mortgage payment is gonna be about the same as your rent payment. (except you at least have something building equity now). Yeah the PMI sucks, but current interest rates are so low that even with PMI your rate is probably pretty favorable.

My nephew did exactly what I talked about 2 years ago and is already sitting on 50k of equity. Rent for a 2 bedroom in his area is more than his mortgage......
Mechanical watches are fun. You can buy something like an Invicta with a display back for $100 and see the moving parts as it runs. Sure you have to adjust the time, wind it etc. But that is part of the charm. Like a chunky, pre digital reminder of the past.
Magnet schools benefit the individual student but they are a bit problematic for many schools because they pick off the highest performers and whoever is willing to do the work to get admitted / physically drive to the magnet.

And then the home school quality goes down and that hurts everyone else who isn't among the small group at the magnet.
The point isn't that every single student should take calculus. The goal is to make it so different students can choose the path that's best for them. California's proposed changes make it much tougher for students to take calculus in 12th grade, let alone earlier.

Which major outage ? According to the Slack uptime, there was barely 1.5 hour of outage :-)

P.S.

Yes I know the uptime is decide by committee, and doesn't reflect reality. I am just being cynical.
Yes, they really are. Look up example questions for the Zhongkao (national high school entrance exam) or Gaokao (national university entrance exam) and ask yourself how North American students at those respective stages would fare.

Many people make a living making adult art for consenting adults, and Twitter is one of their main platforms. Why do you want to get rid of this?
But, nobody pays for browsers (anymore). What are they competing for? It is ALWAYS about money. Are they competing to see who can collect your data to see to third parties? Who can show you ads in their browser? Those are both bad things in my opinion, so Apple blocking them is consumer friendly behavior. But, of course, in a country ruled by corporations, this would be seen as bad.

I've seen prolific Twitter users "move" to Mastodon for years, but they always come back. It's not the same thing on the other side. A fraction of the followers and activity, but there's also an interesting psychological effect.

Due to the distributed nature of mastodon, you'd likely create or move into a "community" of your liking. Where you'll meet friends and like-minded people. A little happy bubble.

You'd think it's a utopia where people can finally leave behind the "hell" that is Twitter. Turns out they need the hell. They've become addicted to continuous outrage and their counter rage is what was holding the bubble together.

As it comes to media and social media, it seems to me it can't exist without rage, division and hate.

Imagine social media updates like this: "Had a pretty good day at work. Ran into my conservative neighbor, we shared a drink, and agreed to disagree on a few matters. To each their own I guess."

Or news channels and papers largely reporting on things going pretty well and reasonable, which is like 99% of reality.

Nobody would want to consume that, it's super boring. Not at all "engaging". Happiness sucks. Even our escape of reality, entertainment, largely consists of even more suffering. Imagine a movie where nothing traumatic happens to the characters. What is the point of even watching it?
that exists. here's one, probably not the only.

> No, the nonsense is the idea that we are all cut out for math.

I think the nonsense is making a decision about who is and isn't cut-out for math at such a young age, and keeping them hemmed into that path for the duration of their education. That's not merely recognizing the top, middle, and bottom - it's creating it.

I see that as a worthy thing to try to avoid. I also think we should strive to avoid falsely concluding that all persons are equally capable.

But every decision is one that creates tradeoffs. I don't know what should be done. I'm an observer on this topic, and I think there's a lot of hubris in this thread from others oh so certain they know what's best.
UPX used to be great when reading from disk took way too long... and having small binaries to read from disk and unpacking in memory was faster... but now in the age of SSDs, I don't know how much sense it makes to compress binaries.

Back in the day, I used to use UPX on most apps, which would greatly improve launch times.
I'll agree that any stem targeted students should get exposure. Not clear that it helps most students.

I'm certainly very happy that I learned calculus in high school. I then got a 5 on the AP calculus test and tested in to third quarter calculus in college. It was important as an engineer to understand those concepts. I don't use them too often and I forgot a lot of it, but I really enjoyed it and I think it would be unfortunate if other students did not have that opportunity. I agree stats would be great too!
Presumably they did not get paid on those days off.
I'm a big fan of timex analog watches (not mechanical) for what its worth. They are much much less expensive than any of these here.

Yes, and it’s only getting better over time! Building complex front-ends, with states synced across different users, is a sheer joy using Turbo & Stimulus. It’s amazing how little JS is needed to create UIs that—when built in e.g. React—would have needed a ton of client-side code. I continue to be amazed how easy and fast it is to develop in RoR.

I hear ya. The JSON config is definitely not trivial. I wrote our JSON docs and strove to made them easy to follow. You can traverse into the module structure piece-by-piece here: https://caddyserver.com/docs/json/

There is also a Caddy plugin by @abiosoft that can generate a JSON schema for your custom Caddy builds, which can then be used by IDEs to give you autocomplete and validation: https://github.com/abiosoft/caddy-json-schema

I also sometimes recommend writing your config by hand in the Caddyfile, then using `caddy adapt` to get the JSON equivalent. (It might not always be the prettiest JSON, since the adapter is only so smart.) But then you can fine-tune the JSON a little easier, possibly. Hope that helps!
