Ask HN: Why not replace gifted education with no assignments for top students?
Gifted students could use the free time to do whatever is interesting to them (e.g., play video games, program apps, prepare for math contests, etc.) as long as they continue to do well on tests/exams.
I took Algebra 1 in 9th grade, and Algebra 2 and Geometry in the 10th grade. The 9th graders in my Algebra 2 class (who took Algebra 1 in 8th grade) had holes in their algebra background because middle school algebra is taught at a lower level than high school algebra. But I wasn't behind, for I took AP Calculus in 11th grade successfully because of a strong foundation from high school level algebra classes. However, I'm struggling with placement choices for own children as we speak.
I don't think concrete facts are generally arrived upon by appearances. I consider your first sentence self-contradicting.

> Many in our area are farmers and they are a lot tougher than your post suggests.

Heh, I come very directly from extremely country stock, so I'd never disparage their hardiness.

... However, even the farmers are rocking fancy trucks and climate-controlled combines & tractors with GPS guidance, these days :-)

AFAIK you still have to step out of your air conditioning to shoo loose cattle back in their pens, or mend a fence, though.
It's short for "Layer 1".

Chicago invented sophisticated election fraud 100 years ago. It may be the case that recent Chicago administrations decided they didn't want to continue to be known as the worst place in the US for honest elections.

The killer feature of VS Code for me is that when you open a source file for python, or C++, or whatever it pops up a dialogue: “would you like to install the extension for this file type?”. Click that and you’ve got working IDE features for that language with none of the hassle of tracking down which is the right extension, how do I keep my plugins up to date, which dependencies do I have to install first, etc.
Brackets was cool and will always be in my memory; made a close friend (who we eventually hired to become a co-worker) because I mentioned that I was working on a Brackets extension on a Facebook group.
It’s understandable that current residents demand that concession. However, minimum parking space rules subsidize and devalue parking spaces below their real value by essentially placing an artificial price cap on them.

People don’t want to pay for parking even though that land has inherent value, and American city planners for years have been overproducing unproductive land just to park vehicles, and it’s literally bankrupting them.
A few Electron apps are acceptable. But it's still very noticeable how less responsive they are compared to Win32 programs.

That statement assume "people like it that way" applies to all people. Even if 80% of the people preferred the suburbs/rural experience, the fact that city layouts are only available on a small portion of the land means that it will cost more.
> The best way to teach children that something can be done is to do something. Changing the words will never be as clear a message as the fact that we're not doing anything.

This. As a a person who has dedicated most of my young to adult life to environmental activism, it's been eye opening to see just how many people are feckless and apathetic. I've lost respect for so many people, especially those who demand it from me, because of their inability or out right refusal to do anything about this issue.

In short, I realized that their are seldom any grown ups, just people who never grew up and assumed roles of responsibility in which they could diffuse responsibility in a way that makes them look inculpable.

I've literately seen TEPCO shame themselves and deny until they couldn't and accepted that Fukushima was avoidable, I've seen the NRC acquiesce to powerful corporate power to the detriment of everyone within a 100 mile radius of San Onofre, I've seen lower management at Syngenta double down on their use of crops that require more inputs 'because f those hippies.'

I could go on, and make this an essay, but in short: I don't expect much from most people anymore, what I think is more vital is making the youth more proactive than all the generations before: as a millennial I knew my standards of living would not be like my parents after 2008 so I deluded myself to change things within the system only to realize the system I was in was Cancer Inc. and business was good, and I was the problem.

I decided that if I could channel my energy into the things I cared about I could lose myself in a way that I could stop caring about materialism and focus on the things that mattered most. Stability was never in my cards, and rather than fear this reality I embraced it and I lived a Life that I couldn't have planned better as opportunities that I thought impossible began to emerge as I got to work with amazing people on great projects.

I'm all for the unionization of labor in this industry. But this article absolutely has a spin on the whole thing. They're painting QA in a light where by they're underappreciated despite their deep talent comparable to engineering and art.

A lot of people in the US would also be completely wrong. Progressives != communist and if anyone seriously thinks people in the Mainstream of the Democratic party are actually communist they are insane.

one concern/thought that quickly comes to mind is "What about compounding value of the created?" . This seems increasingly relevant as wealth is increasingly derived from the created rather than basic underlying resources. Eg: should we land tax the rents from the metaverse?
Coming from the other side, most apps don't check the winapi error code when copying text. One app I use (notepad2 maybe?) at least throws up a tiny "Error" dialog box when it fails.

I configured my clipboard manager to make a crinkly paper noise when an app copies, so at least I have some feedback when it fails.
Heh the only one missing from that list in my small town is a bookstore; the Walmart book section doesn't really cut it.

One thing people can get confused on is that density doesn't necessarily go hand-in-hand with mixed usage - you could have relatively low density areas that are extremely mixed so there's always basically everything within 15 minute walk, and you could have very high density apartment buildings with nearly no services to speak of.

Suburbs are especially bad at this because they segregate the living and the sleeping areas far apart from each other (but relatively short by car).
Because they actually could go farther if given a challenge or push? Particularly with some guidance?

Obviously one can present the options for skating by, but I reckon most would love something SIGNIFICANT to sink their teeth into.

Do you mean to say — the more important aspect of the Smalltalk approach is incremental compilation ?

July 10, 1989 "ParcPlace Systems Inc, of Mountain View California, has launched its Objectworks software development system for AT&T’s C++ Release 2.0: the integrated set of object-oriented tools include an incremental compiler and linker, source level debugger and source code browsing, and will be available in late August for Sun Microsystems’s Sun-3 workstation, selling for $2,500."

I got a 100 dollar gift cert for a company that did just that, I ordered FIVE burritos for that amount to be delivered, and they were the smallest, shittiest garbage burritos I have ever had, and there was no good way to reheat them since they were in a paper/foil wrapper that had frozen onto the burrito, so I had to first try and defrost them with water in a bag and then remove the wrapper and microwave them. It was absolute trash and now other companies are expanding into this biz?

VC's are fucking insane to support this nonsense.
First, recognize that "reason" is somewhat narrower than we'd like to believe. Our own reasoning is applied when convenient and suppressed when convenient. And many times there is simply too much complexity and you must rely on wisdom instead.

The reason that "reason" often wins is because it often works. Of course, sometimes it either doesn't work, or takes a long time to work, and we can conveniently ignore it. Eventually reality catches up, but not always in a way that illustrates the cause.

The best way to make reason work is to expose people making decisions to reality, such that they benefit or lose based on the quality of their reasoning. The most unreasonable people will all of a sudden become very reasonable.

Alternatively stated, prevent people from hiding from reality. There are many places to hide, and these are often the most unreasonable places. National politics is one: your ideas probably won't happen (even if you're in Congress), and if they do, and something bad happens, there are enough other factors to make it easy to blame something else. Academia is another such place. So is extended adolescence.

> javascript features that allow for loose and questionable usage is the thing that got us into this mess in the first place.

And what "mess" is this? Again I think my previous advice is pretty on point: "Be happy!" Everything has only gotten better, from my perspective. That TypeScript exists & has grown up is yet more proof that incremental, ongoing, progressive advancement is amazing. I think if we'd tried to make everything all at once, it would have been a disaster.

> once this is out there, there will be code using it in the most incorrect way it can get away with, and no one will want to break that code later on.

This is a spec to let various typechecks be applied, but doesn't specify any specific type-system. I have a hard time visualizing whatever scary situation it is you are imagining. This seems low risk.
I guess I was foolish enough to think you would have said "millenia" or better if you were referring to more than a few (roughly 1-9 IMO, but that's semantics) centuries. Mea culpa.

In my parts people rarely use the word 'centuries' to refer to periods larger than 1000 years, and numbers less than 10 are generally ok to think of as a 'few.'

With your follow-up clarification, I amend my statement:

>I'm willing to be proven wrong, but it seems fairy reasonable to assume if a strong pattern emerges across a variety of different disjoint and poorly connected traditional societies with unique religious systems, that the pattern isn't likely to be explained away by simply pointing to recent (past few centuries) religious anachronisms.

I'm willing to be proven wrong, but it seems fairy reasonable to assume if a strong pattern emerges across a variety of different disjoint and poorly connected traditional societies with unique religious systems, that the pattern isn't likely to be explained away by simply pointing to "past centuries" religious anachronisms.
Can you elaborate more? Most of the 'specificity' I see missing just lives inside SwiftUI and IB now. The platform/OS manages so much layout automatically these days I think the 'design' work is moving up the abstracting ladder as well, or are you talking about something totally different?
And doing that on any kind of scale will undoubtedly end with the perpetrator in jail for voter fraud. It's easy to speculate about how, it's a lot harder to do it in a way that gets away with it without leaving a trail that eventually catches up with them.

Because that would be an admission that we can't just pile 30 students in the same class and in doing so would mean that we need more teachers and nobody wants to spend the money to do that.
> Travis County's tax office has collected about 99% of 2021 property taxes

I'm impressed that a government agency publishes tax collection rates.

I'm also impressed that they are so high - I was imagining that they'd only manage to collect ~80% after fraud, bankruptcies, missing/wrong property data, people uncontactable/missing/dead, etc.
One argument that I hear is that all these abstractions allow the developer to focus on delivering products and not worrying about the nuts and bolts of the underlying system, but in my experience the best and most efficient developers have been the ones who know how the systems work.
"Gifted students" can easily become lazy with no motivation and milestones and end up being overtaken by "average" student with work ethic.
Don't assume that, because you prefer living in a city, that anyone who doesn't is ignorant. There are lots of people that know exactly what living in a city is like and far prefer to not do so (and vice versa).

Scroll to Europe on both EV charger maps. The ongoing complaints about charging infra seems to come form a place of being uninformed (in Europe specifically, complaints elsewhere are still somewhat valid). Existing infra is getting more robust daily, and chargers can be installed anywhere there is existing power infra or space for solar, batteries, and charging stalls beneath the solar canopy. DC fast charging is at most 20-40 minutes (assuming V2 and above Superchargers or CCS). Level 2 charging, 4-8 hours roughly, can occur overnight at homes and hotels, or during the day at businesses/workplaces.

Automakers have over 12 years to retool to make and sell only EVs; that is the point, to force them to do so in a reasonable amount of time. The EU could push harder if they wanted (2030). Norway’s combustion vehicle sales ban kicks in in 2025, but they’ve already reached almost 100% of EV sales 2.5 years ahead of the ban.

You understand this happened right..? The extra votes weren't just ballots stuffed into a ballot box. The numbers of ballots matched the turn out numbers. They specifically used registered voters who they knew wouldn't be voting in this specific election. The issue was the people who check registration, ID, etc were in on the scam.

> No one claims fraud doesn't happen.

False. I've encountered easily thousands of people who make such claims on the internet.

You might then say "No officials make such claims" - here you're technically correct, but somewhat misinformative: the people in such situations have public relations professionals at their disposal, and also tend to have years of experience (or at least observation) of how to do PR.

When election fraud is discussed, they choose their words carefully, opting to discuss not election fraud, but massive election fraud.

If the topic was other than this one (if "the shoe was on the other foot" so to speak), I don't think these things would be hard to notice...but, human psychology is what it is, so here we are.

> But as seen by the links you provided, there are people watching for these kinds of fraud, and people get caught all the time, even when it's just a single extra vote, much less enough to actually make a difference.

This is speculation, stated in the form of a fact - this, combined with the topic, may cause readers to form a belief that it is necessarily factual.
Long press the spacebar in the keyboard, the keyboard display will change, then you can move your finger side to side (and up and down if it were more than one line) as if it were directing a cursor. This has been a feature for several years now.
FPTP is a disaster. Even if you have perfectly representative elections, FPTP essentially disallows anything but 2 parties. This makes both parties more easily corruptible (less people to bribe if you're paying for specific result or legislation).

Multiple parties makes gaming elections much harder for moneyed interests.

Actually all the sanctions from the west are unilateral change to thousands of contracts, and expropriation of russian assets is straightforward stealing.

Even freezing of central bank accounts is basically the unilateral unlawful change of contract.

Finland broke the contract with russian railroads, with russian electric providers, it cancelled the contract with RosAtom.

Additionally it started the process of joining NATO, which effectively breaks the peace treaty of 1948.

Not entirely, but it sounds like you might need to rewrite parts of it in a SIMD manner to make it performant.

The memory thing might be an issue, but I remember Doom was ported to the SNES which only had 128kB of RAM and a 3.5Mhz CPU. While that was a heroic hack, it leaves a lot of possible overhead for a Crey-1 port with 1 million words addressable and an 80Mhz clock.
Did you think about the ramifications of the story at all? The data is totally irrelevant to whether or not this will bolster "stolen election" narratives for 99% of people who hear the story.

These things have an impact even if the data doesn't support the narrative.
no doubt there is an antediluvian element into the call to return to the office, but it is not the entire story - there are also solid arguments that in person work is more effective for team alignment and creative problem solving.

Voter fraud is a made up problem. It simply doesn't meaningfully exist. We already have guardrails on it. They work.

Take a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_suppression_in_the_Unite... for inspiration on how Voter ID laws could be used to suppress votes in a targeted manner.

There absolutely are people in the United States today who do not have government issued ID, do not want it, and still are and should be entitled to vote.
And if the fraud is big enough the election in that polling station will be repeated. The more polling stations you have, the harder it is that a single station can impact overall results.
> It is whether someone could successfully execute this fraud.

Wouldn't this become a certainty given enough Investment? if so then the EROI is a real factor because it tells us that someone not only could spend $ALOT but could also expect to profit from and so is likely able to fund the project.
