I’ve been programming professionally for 20+ years and I had to look this data structure up. Granted, once I reviewed it, node insertion is trivial, but I hope you gave applicants that opportunity. Or perhaps your line of work commonly deals with stuff like this.

I’ve spent my career in web and mobile product development, usually with a business focus of some kind, and it still surprises me sometimes how little I’ve used certain topics from college, like mathematics. I think most of the math I’ve used I likely learned by grade 6.
>Not all high schoolers are mature enough to be left alone and go to school

As an anecdote, 100% of my class was coming to the school and back without being supervised since age 8. This was in 90s and not in the US, but the gap of "mature enough to go to school" between my experience and the statement feels a bit high, somehow.
Standardization is nice, but so is competition. Notably, Windows got really sucky in the first decade of the millennium XP and Vista and competition from Apple's Mac forced Windows to improve (7+).

Personally, I'm somewhat worried about the "planned obsolescence" effect that these smart infotainment systems have on cars. Will it put pressure on consumers to upgrade their cars every few years as we do with phones, lest our infotainment system fall out of support? Will we as a society end up discarding otherwise perfectly good cars because the infotainment system is well out of date?
> “We know that teenagers are the most sleep-deprived age group, and the cause is our own public policy,” said Joy Wake, who helped lead the efforts of the “Start School Later” group in California.

I really doubt that. Sleep deprivation comes in large part from online behavior (source: personal anecdotes). Whether or not anyone wants to talk about that is another matter.

The new law is unlikely to change the sleep-deprived status of students. Parents taking responsibility can.
I grew up at a small college, and you could always pick the home-schooled kids out of the crowd.

I said this in an earlier reply, but I agree that school is inefficient at education, but I'd argue that's not what the benefit of school is. School is about learning the social skills to succeed in life as an independent adult. That skill helps with learning later. Unfortunately, the reverse is not true: Intelligence is no guarantee to cross the social bridge.

Honestly, I don't believe that courts should never change their minds. I think a healthy government, in fact, must change with the times. Of course, there's a lot of debate about "how much" and "when" and "how" - which is perfectly reasonable.

That said - in the past the SCOTUS has typically tried not to make massive, sweeping changes, unless truly warranted. And even then, they typically make massive, sweeping changes only in instances that expand rights or eliminate harm. They used to try very hard not to cause undue harm with their rulings.

Think about something like the cases that legalized same-sex marriage: a big, sweeping change, to be sure - but the only "harm" from that change was that some bigots now have to recognize a marriage they would prefer not to (and only in the capacity as a government official, or in that of a public business - they remain quite free to be as hateful as they like otherwise). Even though the change was large, the fallout was quite minimal (despite breathless predictions to the contrary by conservatives clearly arguing in bad-faith).

Sadly the court seems to have abandoned that general principle. This ruling is immensely harmful, not just to the EPA but to the general regulatory state that Congress explicitly created over the years. The fallout from this ruling will be vast, and agencies are going to find themselves increasingly unable to actually regulate anything as they find themselves constantly tied up in court. It's going to cause a lot of very real harm to a lot of people in the country, and we will be feeling its effects for a very long time.
I think everyone takes until mid 20s/early 30s to become socially functional. I went to normal school, and even day care (parents both worked), and I didn't totally overcome my social anxiety until I was 30 and had kids of my own. I still feel like I could do better.

Of course, I'm slightly biased, as we're probably going to end up going the homeschooling route. We were 50/50 before, but with COVID, we joined our church's homeschool coop, and because of that both our daughters are better socialized than peers their age. They meet every day. Older kids even meet up without their parents there (although there's always someone watching). Parents also hire tutors as groups, more like a 'pod' than traditional homeschooling. I think it'll work for us
Schools reused school buses, once they deliver the elementary school kids it is back out (different route) for the next grade. I wouldn't be surprised if there were other schools in your district with other start times.

If the school system would team up with public transit, they are already a quarter of the say to all day bus service for everyone.
> It sounds like you were successfully sheltered from secular and liberal ideas

If your utility function is "optimize for the life outcomes of my children", experimental evidence suggests this is a good thing. If your utility function is "optimize for outcomes that are in accord with my state-secular religious beliefs at the expense of my child's life outcomes", it's not.
Those mini-pedals pretty much only come with "dimple stomps," as do most wah pedals under the rocker.

My board has quite a mix of each format. Of course the Klon Klone has a dimple, but I like Boss pedals for their durability. Those switches are actually cheap plastic, but the part you stomp on limits you from crushing it.

Nice! (This is nothing short of a miracle considering that this technology originated in the 1980's and was built with TTL!)
LE can use discretion when investigating cases that they believe may break the law, and they can give people warnings.

As I understand, other SCOTUS rulings on chilling effects all pertain to political speech that were otherwise clearly and unquestionably legal.

I think we’d need to have more information about the process and procedure that took place here to determine whether this letter was sent in bad faith or not.
No they won't. They'll still keep their same schedule, and parents will have to figure out how to deal with it. Some don't have family members that can help, and some enterprising daycares will open up early for school kids to deal with them before school.

Of course, the buses won't run that early, so only well-to-do parents will be able to use those daycares in the first place, leaving poor parents even worse off than they were before.
> why the youngest ended up getting up the earliest puzzles me.

I think there's been quite a few studies indicating that teenagers benefit the most from later start times due to the shift in their internal clock. Little kids can deal with earlier start times.

Staggered start is frequently due to logistics; they don't want to pay for a larger fleet of school buses and drivers to facilitate the schools starting at the same time.

> many dogmatic religions want to protect children from influences they cannot control or understand.

Yes, for example, the state-secular religion of the US, which is enforced in public schools, wants to protect children from influences it cannot control, such as homeschooling.

Simple: Politics, optics, and pragmatism. Up to a point it's better to focus on growth and things you can actually fix rather than trying to trim the bushes.

I have received the exact scam on whatsapp. What the hell??

They claimed to be a banker (following the exact format from the exmaples in the blog) and I genuinely thought that they were a real person but even after I told them that they are texting the wrong number they kept forcing the conversation so I blocked them. A couple of months later they texted from another number but a different name but they continued the conversation from where we last left off.

Crazy reading the article now. I would have been devastated if I fell for it. I am usually very good at spotting scams.
I still hate bullies to this day, but there's no denying that they made me tougher.

Longitudinal studies observing that teenage circadian rhythms shift towards sleeping in later long predate "online behavior".
If they start paying for stuff like this without any resistance they will lose deterrent of having enough lawyers to bombard you with lawsuits to the end of your life. Now I will think twice if I want to cross any corporation. This is a chilling effect the are aiming for. Shut up or else.
That and people realising that, in fact, solar and wind can fully replace oil with a concerted logistical and infrastructure buildout.
Agreed.

I hold oscilloscopes and santoku knives with the same regard :)
We’re talking about a pretty small window of time. 2 hours at most. And a kid who’s going to willfully skip school is going to do so whether or not school starts at 8:30 instead of 7:30.

In most cases, this should work out better for parents. With elementary school starting latest (as was the norm in many places a decade ago), the little kids end up in pre-care AND after-care. Now, they’ll start earlier, possibly avoiding pre-care.
There's a bit of an art to stringing them along. You gotta act like the damsel in distress some times.

I got added to some whatsapp group investment scam once, when there was multiple scammers targeting me it was easier to do because they all didn't want to give up on me. Then they seemed to invite "big brother" so I guess was some leader who had much better English, and he was trying to prove the legitimacy of the platform. Went for about a week and a bit from memory. I sent them pictures of my daily walks and asked how much better it would be if was so rich I didn't have to walk at all!
They already have daycare picking the kids up. Now they have to drop the kids off, and the kids can't really do anything at daycare because they are quickly getting into the bus to get to school, then when off school there is less time to do anything before their parents pick them up again.
The reason people are met at their desk, watched, and escorted out is now and then an employee will be tempted to steal company equipment, and worse, commit some form of sabotage in their anger.

The Dutch also have an incredibly advanced information/agriculture/tech/corp economy. I'm no expert on this but I'm pretty sure that the money from the tourism might not be as much to the Dutch as we would like to think.
Same here. Severance is very cheap in the grand scheme of things. If someone is a poor performer, they're essentially a negative value add. Your default is continuing to pay them a salary, so you may as well agree to continue to do that for a number of weeks and just have them not work. I've seen 2 weeks for every year at the firm as standard

I don't have enough expertise to make anything other than a totally uneducated rebuttal. I'm honestly a little bit more optimistic than the author. I think he's on the money for a lot of things. The world economy is going get screwed because of energy and our leaders are dropping the ball. We're seeing the results in Sri Lanka but also in Europe. On the other hand, I think he does discount renewables more than needed. There is very little barrier to us rolling fields of solar panels and batteries other than purely a political one. There is also a lot of flex in the system. Simply removing meat and replacing it with chicken would save untolds amount of energy. Imagine if we were forced to live off beans

Peak oil generally refers to extraction peak. It is possible to have more sources than ever but no longer the need to extract as much as in the past.

Also the energy return on investment (EROI) to extract oil is steadily declining I believe.
> why the youngest ended up getting up the earliest puzzles me.

I've always heard teenagers need more sleep than younger kids. I've never actually verified this claim.

In my area it's the opposite, and the reason is simple: high schoolers don't need childcare.

> School is off in hot summer and cold winter, I would prefer they study on campus then, so they can enjoy longer break in spring and fall, where outdoor weather is much better to get around.

That's a pure anachronism, but switching costs are genuinely high so not totally irrational.

It's alright if the UI isn't made worse.

The modern example of fuckhead UI changes. Changing settings without having to click apply and/or OK. Changing from the "cog" icon to those three idiotic bars (hamburger?).

Interfaces are often used by people who are not IT savvy. The simplest of UI changes can mess their decade(s) old patterns of usage, the elderly are the easiest example of users affected by this. It not just their individual problem, those people then reach out for help which can be at considerable personal financial expense.
Some effects are better on rack. For example, delay doesn't immediately cut off when you switch it off.

But you're right. A lot of modern guitar players use racks - even Tony Iommi from Black Sabbath does these days. Pretty much the only stomp box you're most likely to see on the floor even with rack users, is an overdrive.
not really, it doubles it. Instead of having to arrange for care/transportation/etc once for a few hours in the afternoon, now you have to arrange for it twice for an hour or two in the morning and an hour or two in the afternoon.
Who has to be at work nowadays, other than people who tend to work in jobs which mean shift patterns.

Sometimes I have to start work at 4am, does that mean that schools should start at 3am to make it convenient for me? What about when I finish at 11pm? What if I'm working overnight?
I've heard that adolescents'/early adults' biological clocks skew later. In my cohort, there are lots of parents annoyed that early elementary school kids wake up before them on weekends. Adolescents on the other hand are notorious for sleeping in. Anecdotes don't make data, but I've heard second hand that data backs up these stereotypes.

Supposedly Summer break is so that kids can help with harvests on family farms.

For sure. Or even for a few days to start. It's basically the same playbook as Waymo: get computers to do more and more of the boring parts, having human operators take over when necessary, and using the additional data generated to improve the system.

If you can't trust a highschool aged kid to go to school on their own, early start times aren't going to change anything. Heck, you can drive them to the building and watch them walk inside and they'll just walk right out the back. Delinquent kids dgaf. Now for the not totally delinquent but still up for sketchy borderline behaviour kids, finishing early and having couple hours between the end of class and when their parents come home from work is when all the dumb stuff happens. Sleeping in and getting home around the same time as their parents leaves a lot fewer opportunities for hijinks.
This is sad news.

When I first heard about this back in High School, I had the same reaction. I hope they put back up the old website or at least a memorial page for him.
Yeah I totally agree. The social skills I learned at my parochial school were none of the social needs I needed to succeed in silicon valley, for example.

My parochial school was poor working class. I learned how to talk crassly, 'shoot the shit', be prematurely sexual, to accept fate, etc. I did not learn how to speak properly, be diplomatic, set goals for life, better myself. Those I learned in college when I went to school with much better off kids and realized that all these things were things I could deliberately aim for and accomplish.

So, while attending school gave me a leg up in understanding the typical American 'everyman' (a skill which is severely lacking in silicon valley and in 'elite' circles in society), it did absolutely nothing to help me achieve becoming part of that elite. In many ways it hindered me. It taught me a worldview where everyone was coming to get me, to put me in my place, etc.

Most of Europe believed might makes right until post WW2. Hell, Spain was still a dictatorship until 1975 and a large part of Eastern Europe was still de facto enslaved until the fall of the USSR. Even now you've got a looming dictatorship in Hungary, a dictatorship in Belarus, a dictatorship in Russia, and a dictatorship in Turkey (a quasi European state).

Germany's evil ideology of conquest and might makes right, which was rife in their culture throughout the 18th, 19th and part of the 20th century, was definitely not limited to the first half of the 20th century (not that you were necessarily claiming such). The Nazi ideology was entirely ripped off from existing cultural beliefs that were common in Germany and the greater region at that time and had been for centuries. Hitler was about as non-original as you could get, he simply took common ideas from the culture and swirled them together. Bismarck and Hindenberg were also monsters, Hitler was just worse and was the natural end of their failed, vile culture during those centuries.

It took thousands of years for the Europeans to figure out they needed to banish might makes right.
It is well documented since before the smartphone age that adolescence comes with changes to circadian rhythm (e.g., [0]) which makes teens want to stay up late at night.

It is certainly stronger evidence than personal anecdotes about "teens are always on their phones".
