‘Literally memorize’ as opposed to what? Counting your fingers?
Yeah, agree. Very very handy if you are writing a parser!
I do the same with inotify tools and an alias or makefile. A simple editor like Geany can save on focus change.
Sure I can. We can do a literature review, identify say 1000 relevant events, and determine the likelihood through that method.

And do they choose who gets into the class by race?
It's always worse in (US) election years, and I think it's inevitable for all online discussion sites. When people conflate their identity with their political beliefs, everything becomes political.

That said, HN has historically done a very good job in policing this through the vigilance of its admin team. I wouldn't be surprised if this discussion pales in comparison to the stuff they've axed.
Queens of Infamy: Boudicca (2021)
As I said, I don't know how it should be implemented. I'm certainly not proposing the implementation of a social credit system. What I am saying is that I'm confident that the mechanism by which gifted programs help students is by allowing them to escape the poor classroom conditions of inadequate teachers and particularly, their misbehaving peers. Personally, I wasn't very good at learning when placed in classrooms with delinquient druggies who's idea of fun is to see how many times they can throw wadded paper at the back of my head.
'just in case there is data corruption'

In my experience that was guaranteed if any of the clients connected other than by ethernet.

I've not done it but I understand that it's not difficult to have an Access front end for a SQL Server backend rather than the default mdb or accdb backend.

All being Microsoft products the migration to SQL server is easy as I understand it.

I find it hard to understand why large companies would not adopt this approach.

how about maths exams?
> If you single out the elimination of a specific program as a proxy for what you really want,

The problem is that in New York at least the gifted programs are the direct mechanism by which rich parents uphold the status quo of segregation. The gifted prgrams are not a proxy, they are a symptom. As I said elsewhere in this thread: we are looking for a fair allocation of resources to actually give schools the ability to meet every student where they are and to engage them wherever that is.

The fact that gifted programs would be needed at all is a failure of our public school system. Every school should have the resources to adequately engage and educate every student regardless of their academic starting point.
"A little clickbaity" if you are generous. Short-sighted and grandiloquent if you are not.

Short-sighted because it narrows the original problem (cache invalidation) to a specific version (detecting cache invalidation errors past an arbitrary time-frame).

Grandiloquent because it then claims to have "solved" the general problem, whereas they haven't even solved the narrowed version. Notice their own premise:

> For any anomaly in a stateful service, it is an anomaly only if clients can observe it one way or the other. Otherwise, we argue that it doesn’t matter at all.

This is a practical attitude that can yield great results, and probably even good engineering practice. However, it will never lead to solving a problem, because a problem isn't solved until you prove that it is.
Felt the same at an org (~$30B) I worked at (non-faang). Ended up leaving after two years, did a startup (greenfield/build whatever for mvp, fun/learned a lot/sweat-equity) that didn't succeed, broke, got back into regular job.

For me it was the SDLC part... as in a seemingly small feature would take 2 weeks to get done because you needed to: create a TDD read me that described what you were going to do, how, unit tests involved, side effects, etc... then write the code, unit tests, PR, write more integration testing, PR... get it into a package to be released. But later on I realized that is standard/how to maintain large applications.

Also the other thing that is not as fun is your job is very small/specific I found at the first place I was at. I didn't touch the build pipeline, didn't work with containers, I just wrote front end code basically.

Very exciting to see this pass after California's bill was killed [1]

Right to repair is one of those frustrating issues that has broad public support, but not enough passion to impact elections. This makes it easy for a small number of corporations to influence legislatures via lobbying and campaign donations, and effectively block popular measures.

Apart from everything else, if you're not trying to ensure that a candidate wins, regardless of their popularity, and are instead trying to skew the odds toward a candidate who already has a reasonable chance of winning, election fraud becomes easier and harder to detect.

As others have pointed out, these "judges" were actually minor, elected election officials, close to being volunteers. They were doing this to make small additions at a local scale. There was no need to add fake voter registrations, to modify vote counting, or to add votes not connected to legitimately registered voters: they just added ballots and records for registered voters they knew weren't going to show up. At a local enough scale, you might simply know, personally, of voters who are out of town, for example.

This doesn't require any major conspiracy at multiple levels. Depending on the organization of the election, it might be possible for a single poll worker to do it on their own. It would be very hard to defend against at higher levels. Most voter ID ideas wouldn't help (short of digital IDs and cryptographic signatures), because it's being done by the people who would be checking the IDs. Having multiple, adversarial officials keeping records of each person coming in could help, but now you've multiplied the number of people you need at each precinct. Contacting people listed as having voted could help, but they could well have been chosen specifically because they would be unlikely to notice or respond. Checking counts and registrations wouldn't help, because the counts and registrations would be valid. Voting technology mostly doesn't matter, and in fact, the method is likely easier with paper ballots.

It is limited in how much of an effect it can have, of course, but in tight races, or down-ballot races where few people actually fill out those races on their ballot, that might be all you need, or you might be interested in just statistically helping your party by making larger numbers of your party's candidates win, rather than helping one particular candidate.
He also never says that electric is not the right direction.

Here's the quote:

> “We now have electric SUVs – huge 4x4s with electric! Ludicrous. It just makes no sense whatsoever. It would just be nice to see cars getting a bit more efficient – whatever the propulsion unit might be, but in terms of the aero, weights, engine size. All these government organisations pat themselves on the back for the improved safety regulations but just like in F1 it makes the car very heavy. Also things like on the combustion engine having such low emissions from a cold start – again that puts weight into the car. The regulators don’t seem to think about that. They want utopia, a car with no emissions and is very efficient.”

To me he's saying that SUVs make no sense (rightfully so), not electric cars.

Yes, and indeed in the mid-to-late 90s a lot of manufacturers experimented with Peugeot XUD engines in aircraft - various Merc ones too, but they were a bit too "high precision" for aircraft use and rattly old Citroën BX diesels were about perfect :-)
Let's say your money supply is based on gold, which is relatively fixed. However, your economy and population keep growing. So a loaf of bread cost 1 gram of gold one your country only had 1 million people, but now you have 100 million people and the same amount of gold you are using for money. How much does a loaf of bred cost (bread production has gone up 100 times to match population increase)? (simple estimate: .01 gram of gold). So deflation has occurred. If your gold supply increased 100 times, the prices wouldn't have changed.
What if socioeconomic status is heavily correlated with ability?

We know IQ is highly predictive of socioeconomic status. We know that IQ is almost entirely heritable barring things like nutrient deficiencies and disease.

So why would it be surprising to see that kids of higher economic status people are themselves more able than kids of impoverished people?
I claimed that disparities are evidence, not that they are proof.

It’s not nor us it ever been about the disparities alone, but the disparities in conjunction with the long history of racial oppression in America. People are alive today who grew up under Jim Crow. People are alive today who were threatened with violence for attending elementary school.
> wealthier localities have more tax revenue and thus better schools

This is not the issue. The real issue is that some wealthier localities defund their public school system through anti-taxation measures and the wealthy send their kids to thriving (well funded, large student population) private schools and those who can't afford the private school tuition (rivals private college tuition) are stuck with either parochial schools (middle class families, associated with their church) or public schools (poor kids, who graduate functionally illiterate if at all).

Tier 1: private school kids, whose parents control the local government and economy

Tier 2: middle class sending their kids to Christian schools where they can learn why the order of things is the way it is through divine writ

Tier 3: public schools, radically underfunded, basically holding cells.

Tesla did it right. With the roadster.

I would like to buy an electric car. Small (flat/low drag), no useless electrical consumers (no power steering, always-online, TV, coffee machine, ...). As a second car, obviously, for the weeked joyride. I can reach work by bike effortlessly.

But all that is being built is all SUV, SUV, and more SUVs.

Maybe, one day. Miata electric? Will probably be full of electronic toys. Electric Boxter/Cayman? Useless fluffy interior. Also, probably bloated electronics, too. Maybe Lotus, like the original Tesla, except with more modern battery/drive train. 2026?

From the point of view of someone who basically never plays computer games and has almost no interest in them: if I were to start playing a computer game, this would be the one.

I cannot imagine a system more transparent than the one implemented in the country where I come from (and some others as well):

After closing the polls, the paper votes are counted manually (in from of candidates representatives and public in general) by the poll station "vocales".

"Vocales" are citizens (4 in total) randomly selected for each poll, who must operate the poll during the entire day. They must report the results of the counting directly to the central system and sign a certificate, so everything is traceable down to the polling box, and it is very difficult for a candidate to conspire against a fair count. Results are normally available from 1 to 3 hours after closing the polls.

I'm completely against e-voting as I feel that transparency in every election is way more important than efficiency, and I think that it cannot get more transparent than this.
Rewriting "culture" as "they are the reason for their own problems” seems rather uncharitable, and unhelpful to the discussion. Why are you doing that, given that it's not adding any clarity?

> having found the statistical outlier that proves your argument

Well, why are they a statistical outlier? If you ask Nigerians, they'll tend to credit their culture. Do you have a different explanation?

> Is it possible that Nigerians would actually be doing better were there not racial barriers?

I suppose it's more possible that they should be doing much worse than they are, because of the racial barriers.
I figure that finding somewhere to mount the tank would be a pain in the arse. Maintenance is far easier than with petrol systems because it's not constantly trying to set you on fire.
There is no evidence of fraud because our institutions are unwilling to investigate allegations of fraud. If you ask why they aren't willing to investigate fraud, there's an excuse for that. Then, any attempt to audit or secure the election process is shot down with another excuse. Then you start to wonder, how long has this been happening for? No wonder there is zero confidence in this system - it's all corrupt. Then they gaslight people into thinking that the mere discussion of fraud in public is causing people to lose confidence in our democracy. Amazing times we live in.

This is the truth right here. With the skills you have as a Linux person you can easily migrate to (Free|Open)BSD.

I started with Debian in ~1994'ish (USB didn't work yet, it was probably the stable branch at the time). I had DECADES of experience with Linux.

It was easy to transition to *BSD. This is the beauty of Unix. I still get a brain fumble when I'm bouncing between systems and type the wrong command on OpenBSD vs FreeBSD when I'm doing something common like installing or searching for software. The core mechanics work everywhere. Knowing the right question to ask when searching gets you that last 10%.

How do I restart the $X service on: (OpenBSD, FreeBSD, RedHat, Debian, Arch, ...etc)

(Free|Open)BSD are more simple, while Linux feels more automagical in the way services are managed. I dislike SystemD for this reason and prefer the BSDs.

It’s not a big thing for politicians to vote for the things so far in the future. They will be long gone and not responsible for anything. I just moved from rental apartment in Munich to my own house. I also ordered Kia EV6 and will ditch my petrol BMW as soon as it arrives. It’s convenience and my monthly rate for the car will be covered by not using batshit crazy expensive petrol of probably 2,3€ liter when current 3 month tax break will be over. I have now 11 kW charging infrastructure in my garage and it is super cool! However it’s a bad joke in Munich. Before moving out I found 8 chargers around rental apartment in a radius of half mile. Just a bad joke. And I don’t start about the electricity of generation. Solar is not working here for at least 3 months of a year. It’s shocking to see how the politicians are de-coupled from the reality.
Yeah! Go use Linux on your slow dinosaur drives! That'll show em!
What is a better route for someone wanting to run a personal project but also learn the tooling that would be needed if the project "took off" in the sense of using a lot of bandwidth or having a lot of users/data? If that question is too broad... Is lightsail a good starting place within AWS? Or is there another service that would allow for less lock in but similar features?
Yes, it might be, but until them, some of us have to use options that exist.
Yikes. That's not normal.

Is there a good source on the value of the Italian Lira, to contrast?

I've heard some folks track francs and DMs (on a computer, since the currency no longer exists) in case they ever decide to go back to the old way, but struggle for data on what the Italian Lira should be worth.

Well, that's the way it is. Safety has a weight penalty. Not everything is an F1 car
>my kids' books and chromebooks are always nice and new.

It's interesting to me that you are using this as a proxy for funding.

Schools in low income areas are going to have crappier books and laptops because they're spending their money on things other than books and laptops.

Low income brings with it all sorts of problems. That's why it sucks to be poor.
No, you’re talking about option #1, which I also agree is better. That’s not what’s happening here.

If you see a program that doesn’t have equal access, and instead of doing the hard work to get to equal access, you just get rid of the program… that’s the #2 option, the one I’m referring to, which is worse for everyone.

Yes, everyone knows where motion blur comes from in a real camera, but in a rendering view, there is no real camera. The renderer is what applies simulated motion blur. There are some simulated optical effects must be accounted for in order to render a realistic motion blur, like depth of field. Motion blur is quite often added to stylized animation in an equally stylized sort of arcing cloud, which requires the renderer to also have knowledge of the literal 3d model that's being animated.

The Republicans aren't interested in ensuring IDs are easy & free to get as part of their voter ID bills, because it defeats the purpose of why they're so enthusiastic for this to begin with. Democrats don't trust anything short of very concrete and explicit measures in that regard, for fear that the rug will be pulled later, similar to polling-place distribution/availability issues in some places.

Standard, universal, free federal IDs are an obvious solution to this that would also solve a shitload of other problems and irritations that come with living in this country, but they're opposed by both sides—more by the Republicans, for a mix of general don't-trust-the-government and religious reasons (to international readers: yes, seriously), but also by many Democrats (largely over a history of absolutely crazy-to-read-about, but very much real, police surveillance and harassment programs targeting civil rights activists).
