Yeah, almost anyone can do anything where I live.

People set up car repair shops, computer repair services and whatever else you can think of in their garages, because you know what - doing stuff in your garage actually lowers the bar to start a business.

And thru streets limited to 30kph are actually a very nice route for cycling.

And you know what? There's really no price difference between a house next to bakery, house next to a car repair shop or a house next to just other houses.
The Polish university I went to never even heard of grading on a curve, and yet cheating was rampant. I think it's just human nature - as long as cheating is not heavily penalised, many people will choose to do it.

During my studies, there was one professor who openly said that, if he caught you cheating, he will fail you in his class (which, in Polish universities, means going through a lot of bureucracy to not have to repeat the entire year) - as opposed to other professors, who will usually just allow you another attempt at later time. Also, during the written exams, he wasn't staring longlingly at the sky throught the window (like some other professor did - I assume they wanted to help us cheat, so that we can pass their class and be out of their lives), but was watching us like a hawk 100% of the time. In result, AFAIK there was no cheating in his class at all - it just didn't pay off.

Personally, this hypocrisy and game of cat and mouse was one of the main lessons I learned in high school and later in university ("it's ok to cheat as long as you don't get caught", "nobody cares about their work anyway" etc.). It's a shame that the education system is corrupting the morals of young people in such a way, but on the other hand, the grown up world they're about to join is pretty corrupt anyway, so maybe it's actually teaching valuable survival skills.
As ex-urban planner in Europe and having lived in Houston, academic and professional knowledge of this wrong development in the US is widely known. He is just citing popular knowledge of the failed "American dream", suburban development for cars, not families.

Most of Europe has held a strong opposition to this development, and did fine.
Isn't there a theory about how people do poorly when they grow up poor? Then you've got degrowth which says more people should grow up poor.
I have the same policy at my uni in Poland.
Admit to cheating without being called out? Depending on the professor mood, they either allowed you to retake exam (though the best grade you'd get was the lowest passing one), or you just fail the course and try again next year.

Both they had less paperwork, and well, they wouldn't report that person.
Not much really; I would recommend working through SICP [0], it is fun and in the end you know a lot and can move on from there to even more advanced topics.

Together with the YouTube recordings of the lectures about the book will give you many AHA moments about why it’s so elegant etc.

Including topics like types and a prolog like logic language.

At this point (needing any dynamic features) good caching and exposing a dynamic frontend basically serves the same purpose.
I think theorems already presuppose some basic understanding of algebra, but I might be wrong.

> HOW do you measure knowledge? And when you decide how, how do you scale it?

When I was in school, many moons ago (in France) there were no quizzes. Zero. "Tests" were either dissertations (for topics such as literature, history, etc.) or problems. Everything was done in class, in longhand.

There were no good or bad answers, even in math class, because what was evaluated was the ability to describe the problem, the approach, and the solution, and you got points for that even if the ultimate result was wrong.

"Cheating" was very difficult; copying what another student was writing was hard and not very effective, because unless you could reproduce their whole argument, just taking a sentence or two would not make sense.

This system didn't "scale" very well; in fact it didn't scale at all.

If you build a system that let one person "teach" classes of hundred of students and generate quizzes that can be instantly rated by a machine, then some (most?) students are going to try to game that system.

This is inevitable, and I'm not even sure it's a bad thing.
For those not in on this long running Wikipedia in joke, this article started as and continues to be a venue for contributors to one up each other on the pretension scale. I think it’s going well so far.
I'll ignore the argument over whether a generic Save<T> (or even Repository<T>) type would be better.

I'm unsure about DI in general [1], but using the Objectifier-Pattern just to appease the DI-System is bad. Likely, you can use `Symbol()` to indicate how your code should be wired.

Decoupling your dependency seems reasonable, but you can do it much simpler.

type GetProject = (...) => ...
type ProjectCRUD = { get: GetProject, set: ... }

constructor(private projectCrud: ProjectCrud)

Depending on the situation, I would go even further and inline the type definition:

constructor(args: {
getProject: (...) => ...,
setProject: (...) => ...,
})

I suppose he must call himself "Pirate Engineer" now.
More broadly people who refer computing to the standard of construction/architecture would likely be severely disappointed if they had a glimpse how the latter is really done.
Well, not every engineer is experienced enough to immediately notice all potential problems which can arise in production. It worked in microservice A, why won't it work in microservice B? It all comes down to expertise. The average engineer is probably better off relying on a versioned, upgradable dependency maintained by more experienced folks than on copying code snippets here and there.
I'm going to echo what the other commenter said about web front end being an absolute mess. I stayed away from web front end development precisely because of all the stress that it entails. However, there's value in understanding how the clients consuming your services need to structure their requests and the responses that they receive.

I would recommend doing native mobile app development if you really want to have some idea of how client applications are built. And on that note, iOS' technology stack is so much more stable and coherent than Android's, which takes after patterns of web development, and so, Android is just as much a mess as front end web development, with too many options that will unnecessarily overwhelm you.
That appears to be about 650 miles (1050km). That’s around the point where many people will still prefer to fly. However, the train will likely make a few stops, making Berlin/Paris more accessible from other cities on the route.

Where there are high-speed routes today, hopefully 300 mph maglevs will be running in 50 years.
Just fund it as part of taxpayer’s money, like most countries do with public broadcasting.
You miss an important criterion though which is “does my interview has anything to do with the actual work?”, and lc fails miserably. And this one criterion probably classifies lc even lower than take home test or coding questions.
A bot that scrapes the internet and automatically "falls" for scams/phishing to waste their time with plausible info would be brilliant.

In order to form a British government you need a working majority in the House of Commons (the elected half of Parliament), this is because you need Confidence, as if a majority don't have Confidence in the government it can be dissolved.

The very least you can scrape by with in practice is called "Confidence and supply". An agreement between your political party and whatever other tiny parties or individual members can make up a simple majority (half plus one vote) of the Commons, to vote that they have Confidence in the government, and to vote through "Supply" bills, taxes and spending.

Parliament can choose to do whatever it wants, but as we see, in general the Parliament will be dominated by the governing party. So to an extent this is a distinction which makes no difference. Except, as Democrats are keenly aware in the US, just because somebody is a member of the Party doesn't magically mean they do whatever the executive led by that party says they should do...

So yes, in practice the UK Government and Parliament are much more cohesive than in the US where the Executive and Congress are run by completely different people with different agendas even on the rare occasions they're politically aligned, this is on purpose, but not by definition. If Johnson annoys enough "back bench" (ie elected politicians who aren't part of his executive) Tory MPs there's nothing he can do to ensure they vote how he wants and then he's probably fucked.
> Because knowledge is currency

can I sell it?

Can I buy grocery with knowledge?

Knowledge is a tool!

And it's not even universally true, if you know American English it is perfectly useless in rural China or Japan or Central Africa.

EDIT: I'll add another example that won't upset the American audience.

Numbers in French.

We are used to the decimal system, it won't work in France, they count numbers using the vigesimal system.

So 84, 80 + 4 is quatre-vingt-quatre, 4 x 20 + 4.

My way of counting numbers, which is a basic requirements for kids aged 5, is completely useless in France, even though France is a close Neighbour of my country and we dealt with each other since the dawn of history.
But you don’t need a degree to understand the fundamentals. Jus because you don’t have a degree from an institution it doesn’t mean you don’t count as a programmer. You can learn all of this things on your own pace even if you started by learning how to modify Wordpress themes or got into the field after taking a boot camp. My point is (from the original comment) that grading knowledge and ability to produce quality work is a very hard thing to achieve. I would even go further and question whether it’s even necessary. For example you’re likely not getting a job straight after college without facing the company’s interview process. And every company has its own way. So even if you were to solve the issue in academics, it’s likely to not reflect on the student’s ability to get a job and perform properly
I have a very hard time reasoning about this stuff.

It seems to me the current choices, dictated by culture, capital, and economics, are a) grow or b) decline.

Is a steady state possible? Can a cobbler, independent farmer, carpet cleaning service, or whatever, do their thing for 40+ years?

I don't know.

Certainly not if they accept outside investment capital, where the lender is expecting an ever greater return on their investment.

Certainly not if when there are predators. eg "Your margin is my opportunity" -- Jeff Bezos

Certainly not if your gig is mooted by technological progress.

Examples of successful steady state ventures would help me (us) think through these issues. But I'm struggling to think of some. Residential plumber (and similar trades)? Automobile mechanic?
Interesting. I thought it might be written in languages that are popular for building web apps like Ruby or Python. I had no idea it was written in Arc.

Do you know where I can read more about the other parts of stack, like databases, and web-frameworks?
> Best example are C++ stdlib classes like std::vector. Sometimes you just need a trivial growable array implemented in a few dozen lines of code, but std::vector pulls in roughly 20kloc of code into each compilation unit, and only if you're very lucky the compiler will condense this down to the same few dozen lines of actually needed code (the fabled "zero cost abstraction").

This is actually a very poor and ill-thought example. C++'s standard template library is expected to provide generic components that are flexible enough to meet practically all conceivable usecases, so that they meet anyone and everyone's needs.

This, obviously, means it supports way more usecases than the naive implementation you can whip out with "a few dozen lines of code".

There are very good reasons why everyone just picks up std::vector over any other implementation, and only extremely rare edge cases (like stuff that sits in the hot path of some games) ever justify using something exotic.
So basically PHP (except for the “requires” part)?

It does work quite well.
The only thing we know is happening for sure is interaction, which when studied using the so-called density matrices of the interacting subsystems gives insight into how any subsystem "sees" another one. You get all the "parallel universes" as separate terms this way, and see ways in which these terms evolve independently of each other and ways in which they can linearly interfere. This is all continuous evolution under the Schroedinger equation by the way.

You unfortunately won't get any satisfactory answer to this but you can definitely scratch the itch if you take the time to study some QM and decoherence theory.
Formal verification is just very costly and has diminishing returns. Let's take a CAD program. Which aspects of it would you formally verify? If you are going for the easy parts, those can already be dealt with nicely with static typing and testing, essentially push-button automated verification. If you are going for the interesting parts, you will be doing math, essentially.
Sanity check: Would your manager complain if you stopped doing Scrum? If yes then you don't got that much freedom. If no, then I can see it being fine. It can work fine if nobody outside of it depends or uses the Scrum process, but then the company isn't doing Scrum, just the team doing it internally. This lets the team adapt and stop doing Scrum when it no longer fits their problem etc, that is the agile way. My point was just that if a company uses both the leetcode interview and the tightly integrated Scrum process mandated on teams then that doesn't make sense.

Edit: And a job ad where they say you should be well versed in Scrum I take it as they will force Scrum on me regardless if it makes sense or not, because I doubt a team just doing Scrum for themselves would put that in a job ad. Companies loves putting this in their job ads though so it is very easy to spot which companies works like this.
> Cynically, this will never happen because reforms to battle educational issues in any democratic society usually takes more than 5 election cycles to show obvious results (and when the bad results start stacking up current leaders will take the flak regardless).

Well obviously we need to fix the system of the system!
> Incompetent doctor? People die.

Many, many doctors are completely incompetent, as in, they don't know anything. Yet not all of their patients die.

I have been a "standardized patient" at medical schools; students at the end of their education (after 6-8 years of learning) still don't know shit. And most pass. Maybe they learn on the job... but I doubt it.
"Liz doesn't have any real power, at least, no more than any other very rich old ladies."

Technically you're right. However, I've seen first hand what the wielding of 'power and influence' looks like that comes from her position and institutions of the Monarchy.

It's very easy to dismiss her as just a bunch of money, but it's far more than that. Insiduously so, and is very representative of the culture of power in the UK.

Just as any CEO sets the culture of their organisation. So Monarchy sets the culture of the power in the UK. Take a small look at how the City of London works.

You may live in the UK and think she/they do not have any democrative power over you. But you'd be wrong in so much as the influence they have on 'democratic' and government institutions.

With respect, you're being a little naive.

This is untrue, you have to take into account the environment. If you used to live in a cold area like Quebec and move to let's say LA or Houston, without changing your diet, your metabolism will change a lot.

If you compare two neighbors, you're right.
if it was a matter of life and death, of course yes.

If it is not a matter of life and death, there's no possibility it will happen, because of regulations.

Anyway:

10 percent of all U.S. deaths are now due to medical errors

Ask HN: Any experience switching from a Senior Manager role to IC?
Hi!
Background: I have a Senior Manager role in a large non-tech company, where I lead a team of ~100. The team is a mix of Engineers, Product/Project Managers, and industry experts. Up until recently my team was only half its size, but then got merged with another one doubling its size. More challenging, the other team was known for its bad track record and high attrition levels

I was reasonably happy prior to the merger and believe I am a decent manager, but it always felt like I did the job not out of passion but out of a sense of duty / obligation towards the team. Bringing the new half of the team to a good level sucks a huge amount of energy and really is just a chore that will likely continue for the next 1-2 years

I know it would be possible to switch to a part-time IC role in my company without much trouble, which sounds extremely tempting at the moment. But then: the grass looks always greener on the other side… But is it really?

Hence: any experiences from anyone here doing such a step? Did anything surprise you?

To extend some thoughts, my own bias

1. Universe started with a first phase transition involving gravity
2. Gravity might have another phase transition at the micro and macro quantum boundaries.

3. We are already use to having math systems change and boundaries to phase transitions so its not really radically new to our mathematics tools.

Yeah, I do have in my unfinished bucket re-doing my math knowledge and tools as either a MS or PhD.

That said I might be wrong in either one of these things or seeing the micro and macro boundaries of quantum and classical as a phase transition in gravity.

But, my limited math sense tells me I might have the right idea.

The key would start with reworking the Maxwell magnetic equations to account for gravity and to describe the phase transition between micro and macro world environments in terms of going from quantum to classical physics

Its a bit hard to picture it at first as the two mathematical systems used
are incompatible with each other. One is in the matrices world and one is not.

But, we have similar math mismatches in our real world. One part of economics is matrices and one is not and yet the micro and macro economic models fit together somehow. So I think it is eventually reachable to some of us as far as understanding the math.

But I just might have it wrong altogether

Personally, I’m tired of these clickbait titles. I’ve read similar ones “x now is y times better/faster/efficient” countless times last two decade or so for batteries, transistors, ai, chips, cars, whatever you name it. The reality: industry for some reason doesn’t leap insanely with new technologies every two-five years after such or similar claims but it’s slowly crawling for decades…
I am a professor too. It has taken me about 15 years to realise that my job is not plagiarism hunting.

My institution has almost no ability to enforce plagiarism rules. Many of my colleagues plagiarise. When I do catch students cheating I have to be sure. I just submit a grade, usually 0, and then it is someone else's job to follow up.

The new generation is particularly sensitive and expects...exceptions. They roll up with parents and lawyers and parents who are lawyers and swing their...suitcases around. We end up giving a second chance or a third.

Luckily, I have only had one major case of plagiarism, the rest have been bad but easily dealt with.
What's in the "nutrients"??

But then, "nutrients" is just another name for "food".

Protein requires an organic source of nitrogen. I see no organic source of nitrogen here. Color me very skeptical of the "Solein BioProcess".
That’s how basic research works though. If you were older you’d be starting the see the results of the clickbait science from 40-50 years ago.
I call BS on that one. The author links to a post by Ed Niedermeyer. That’s the same guy who started a site called “Tesla Death Watch” back in 2008. Though in the current article he claims he came to see “the true face of Musk” in 2015.

Honestly, why bother joining the chat if you're obligated to put in so much effort?

Analysing social media for evidence of violating academic integrity isn't some thin you get paid for.

Personally, I wouldn't. Why waste what little time I have left each day? Not to mention, whatever grade they get, whether they cheated or not doesn't matter, I'd still get paid at the end of the day.
Well not all of us are familiar with the design. Meanwhile loads of new people join the internet every day. So it is going to be novel to someone.
