My controversial opinion is that technical experience alone does not make someone a good software developer, business acumen does, mainly systems thinking and interpersonal skills.
One problem I've seen with Scratch is that schools rely on it for too long. Kids get into high school and the school is still teaching with Scratch.
So for context, I've literally seen/worked on structures older than that. I'll format this as a list to avoid a giant wall of text.

* Plenty of structures were built prior to 1100CE. You can't build a freeway in Tucson without digging up an late archaic (~2300-1500 BCE) pithouse, as an example.

* Plenty of indigenous structures have centuries of continuous inhabitation. Taos is a good example, having a single structure that's been inhabited since the 13th century. Other communities are older (e.g. Oraibi dates from ~1150), but don't have extant usable structures from those early days.

* Indigenous structures were not abandoned prior to European contact, let alone because of deforestation. Did you autocorrect from "disease" (which would also be mistaken, but less so)? Very simplified statement here because this is a topic that could fill a library. Happy to talk more on it.

Well yeah, I assume they referred to "writing" as in the entire workflow, including drafting, reference, revisions etc.

Because otherwise, I have zero idea what that sentence was supposed to imply. If "serious writing" actually means "typing words in a serious manner" in the original comment, then I don't really have much to say, except that OC is probably spewing utter nonsense.
I don't think they want that though.

> The expectation of high standards is unconsciously absorbed and adopted by the students, and they carry it with them for life.

This is so very true, and unfortunately is commonly why mit grads are considered arrogant.

I say “unfortunately” because most recent MIT bachelor grads are arrogant* but that tends to fade after they encounter a real world in which there are other smart and/or hard working people. But the implicit assumption of high standards remains with many grads, including many who themselves can’t shed their imposter fears, even after decades. And that implicit assumption is often intimidating.

* As a startup guy I tend not to hire MIT new grads, preferring that they suffer the shock of the real world on someone else’s dime. But I have hired a couple of CalTech new grads and they haven’t had “the problem”. As an MIT grad myself I wish the Institute could figure out what Caltech is getting right. But MIT doesn’t really care much about undergrads anyway.
Did you try using the "Say" blocks? I know they don't look quite as nice, but this is what I use when I'm building something "text based".

I can tell you're not from the north. Snowy days aren't dark and cloudy. You'll wear sunglasses sometimes. Dark roofs absolutely help melt snow. The snow starts melting near the gutters and then climbs upward. The snow also sublimates. When it gets really cold, clouds can't form so there are a lot of bright days without a cloud in the sky.
This is true in a lot of areas of Texas. The mobile home dealer will even help you find land. You typically have to have a water well and septic system installed on the land.

I see these mobile home land packages come up for sale on Redfin all the time. They do appear to appreciate in value if they are clean and taken care of, but not as much as a site built home. I have even seen some successful flips.

I guess the main drawback is that they are typically located on less desirable land and the lifespan of the house just isn't going to compare favorably to a site built house, but at least they are affordable.
My last ambulance trip in the US was billed at $12000. With my (good!) insurance I still had to pay $500.
What constitutes a 988 emergency?

I was raised with a sacrosanct view of 911. Do not call unless it is a bona fide emergency. This means something along the lines of a situation outside my expertise that poses a threat to life. Broadly speaking it ranges from medical, physical, security, and probably a host of other things I'm forgetting.

However, I don't have the same instilled ideas about 988. What are the sufficient conditions to place a call, for oneself and for others?
Callers need to exercise a fairly high level OPSEC to maintain anonymity. If you aren’t using some VOIP service, there’s a good chance your call will be traced and the cops will be at your door anyway.
The "selection criteria" being referred to is the system without the quota. This is simply poor writing.

You're absolutely right, of course. I only note this: smart men are likely to seek more lucrative fields if they're informed about the actual odds. Having a high IQ doesn't mean all that much if you haven't got data.

Software plays on male quixotry, yes, but it's able to do so because the average 22-year-old man has friends of the same age group and has never dated anyone older than 22 (because, honestly, he can't... he has nothing to offer women 25+ and they aren't interested). Women, who usually have dated (or at least have friends who have dated) men in their late 20s and possibly 30s, are exposed to high-quality information about which careers actually deliver on their promises; men are not. Men might get advice from their parents, but that's going to be 30 years out of date, in a country where the career game has gone from Easy Mode to Psychopath Mode in a generation.
Thanks. Combined with https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32116807, this is a very helpful answer.
Thanks for your feedback! This is on my to-do list of things to fix-- some of the flavors have been developed using monthly returns and some use annual. In both cases the x axis is variance of the periodic returns. Also in some cases the returns are log returns which is also a todo. I will fix it so that the x axis is labeled with the user's choice of risk metric used by the optimizer. Also, I should have mentioned it, but the risk choice isn't implemented in the backend yet so the risk metric choice just defaults to variance for right now.

The length of copyright is insane. I think the US founding fathers had it right. 14 years plus the ability to extend another 14 years. I'd be fine with another extension or 2, with each extension getting more expensive. (Like $1k for first extension, $10k for 2nd, and $100k for 3rd). Heck I'd actually be ok with it keeping going so a 4th extension costs $1M, 5th costs $10m, and so on so you could have people with 100 year long copyright if they were willing to pay for it.

Sure it does, you don't have to manage on which thread you handle continuations (which you must in multithreaded GUI for example) - there's only one scheduler which simplifies the async API a lot.

But even for concurrency - single threaded event loop/cooperative multitasking eliminates a whole class of partial state updates and synchronization primitive/locking errors - it's not even close to preemptive multitasking complexity.
The big advantage of desktop 3d printing is that one machine can print infinite designs with no retooling cost in between design changes. This advantage is lost when the item you’re printing is the too big to be moved, and assembling the machine is a significant construction project by itself. And customizable design is not a hard criteria for low cost housing.

It’s a neat demo, but I don’t see how that process could be leveraged for cost savings as is.

1. Tree survival is an issue before the trees become “visible” from space.

2. Project funding typically lasts 3-5 years at a max.

3. In the organisations which run this type of project, there is an “I’ll be gone, you’ll be gone” staff problem: flawed projects are funded and staffed by people who know they won’t carry the can for project failure.

4. To be very realistic, funders of these projects don’t care. Indeed, corruption might be a feature rather than a bug.

I don't think it's intrinsic that (as you said) "Women choose partners, at least in part, based on their ability to provide resources." A hundred years ago, it was considered intrinsic that men were innately violent and needed experience with deadly conflict (hence, each generation "deserving" to "get" a war) or they would rot. We really know very little about what is intrinsic in us; we do, however, know that in the real world we have to deal with generations of toxic socialization.

In a lot of fields, it's more important to have a codebase that's easier to use and more flexible than a codebase that uses less memory. This is why people opt for GC and why it's such a big benefit.
CWR is common to reduce noise and bumps. The latter in particular is really important at high speeds, because the feel of a bump to a rider is a lot worse.
Suicide hotlines, on the surface, seem like a good thing. Having a phone number someone can call 24/7 to talk to someone who is trained in helping someone undergoing a mental health crisis seems like an effective way to reduce suicides and benefit mental health overall. However, I think they have the opposite effect in practice.

I suffer from pretty severe depression. It runs in my family and it is something I've struggled with for a number of years. During depressive episodes, I have no interest in connecting with other people. This includes friends, therapists, family, etc. So the idea that I would ever pick up the phone and call a suicide hotline to talk to someone on the phone about my depression is borderline laughable.

I also think suicide hotlines have become a convenient and easy way for people to ignore and dismiss sufferers of depression in online discourse while virtue signaling that they care. Rather than offering advice, help, solace, or anything remotely human, it has become commonplace for social media users to simply paste the suicide hotline number and walk away pretending to have helped the situation when in reality they have only helped themselves.
Interesting side effect of this: In my local phone number area code, it's no longer possible to dial local numbers without the area code. That means all outgoing calls require an area code, whereas normally you can dial local numbers without an area code.

In addition, we must also dial "1" before the area code when placing outgoing calls to certain neighboring area codes.

It's unclear exactly why - I imagine it has to do with some numbers conflicting with the "988" number in some way.

For all the hate it gets, I can confirm that Apple Maps does not exhibit this behaviour, and I also believe Waze doesn’t, as well; though my memory is hazy on that one.

Driving around in Northern Canada, as I am often wont to do with my partner; you’re without cell service at least half the time; and even when you do have cell service - data is very uncommon.

My girlfriend and I ran into this issue twice with Google Maps, tested if Apple Maps exhibited the same behaviour, and since it hadn’t - neither of us have actually used Google Maps since.

This is - of course - iOS-specific advice.

YOLOv7: Trainable Bag-of-Freebies
My typical travel camera is a Leica with a DR summicron 50mm from the early 60s, but the film shortage messed up my plans. I get nailed by the super shallow depth of field on the hasselblad all the time, if you’re at 2.8 or 4 it’s so much more shallow than 2 on the 35mm. So I just take any low light photos with my iPhone and don’t waste the film, I’ve missed too many times.
The downside to travelling with 120 is now I have 18 rolls of film to dev and scan, instead of 6 rolls.

Oh is that why. I had heard that comments were taken out because people were using it for "parser directives" or something vague. This makes a lot more sense (although I'm sure there were all manners of hacks in the comments). Definitely a bullet dodged there.
I like how under the (more) menu, you can step through the code. It not only teaches kids how their code works, it also indirectly teaches them how a debugger works.

Where the trace shows, it would be even better if the variables could be edited, which brings it even closer to debugging, and also expands on how the program logic works.
Kids are not always equipped to handle the truth, nor they will necessarily be able to comprehend it.
Thanks very much for the kind words!

For suicidal crisis we have the Samaritans in the UK. But also
Citizens Advice, Childline etc. We also have a dizzying array of
non-emergency agencies, British Transport Police, PortWatch, RNLI, and
so on.... Each is staffed by specialists with training in their own
area.

Many (most?) are anonymous and won't ask for your name, but can
obviously trace a cellular phone in an emergency unless you take
active steps to avoid that.

Whether they are 'joined up' is a good question. Do they know of each
other's services and are they able to patch a caller through to
another specialist, quickly and at no cost? Much may depend on the
operator you get. People are people, and some are less well trained,
perceptive, or able to act on initiative.

Most organisations are also funded by charity/donations and get less
public money with each government. In the UK We've had to adapt to a
patchwork of independent services because central government has been
making cuts since the Thatcher era. For example, the last government
shut down most of the coast-guard stations, and a week later a crew of
fishermen drowned within a stones throw of a closed lookout
station. That caused a scandal that led to a new organisation
(CoastWatch) staffed by volunteer civilians and funded by private
donations. The people literally took over the abandoned stations and
started operating them on a grass-roots basis.

Of the languages I've used in anger, Ruby is perhaps my favorite language to write code in. I think Python and Java are both easier to use in a large shared codebase, and one of the biggest reasons is that it's sometimes a lot harder to see where a method is defined in Ruby. Being able to use method_missing to automatically build a wrapper class or shim is super easy and pretty cool, but it can make it much harder to piece things together when debugging.

I worked at a company that had a codebase split fairly evenly between Ruby, Java, and Python. The Ruby stuff was the hardest to understand, and I think it was primarily because of using patterns around dynamically method definitions.
Indeed, the main concern with solar is just cost and availability. Getting electricity for free from the sun is a great value proposition for most people. Spending tens of thousands on your roof, not so much. The upfront investment is a bit of a hurdle. And you get some push-back from Nimby's complaining about what things look like. Of course nothing compared to if you were to cause a lot of smog by burning coal.

With coal the concern is the sooth, dust, pollution, and smell. It's just nasty, toxic stuff. Smog from coal is unpleasant. It's not like a wood fire which at least smells nice. Coal is what you used to burn if you could not afford wood or gas. Throwing a lump of coal on the fire is nobody's idea of a romantic thing to do. Making a nice wood fire, completely different thing.

Here in Berlin, people were burning coal in some parts of the city until gentrification caused most of the remaining DDR construction to get renovated. As recent as ten years ago, you could smell coal in the winter in e.g. Prenzlauer Berg, which is now a properly gentrified area full of hipsters, coffee shops, etc. One of my colleagues at the time rented an attic with only a coal furnace. He had to carry the stuff upstairs if he wanted heating. But he payed very little in rent so he was OK with that. It's the most run down, poor areas that got rid of coal last.

I was going to say the same, it looks like an (E)BNF to AST parser which outputs XML.

My only quandary would be whether the output XML structure could be ambiguous given the parse tree and input (requiring lots of context-dependent if/then logic when interpreting the XML). Perhaps some kind of invisible XML stylesheet could pre-process the AST before outputting the XML.

And secondly, can it handle CSV? If so, along with a command-line app like `jq` it could be an extremely useful addition to the general purpose data munging toolkit. Or do I have to pass the input through a 1000+ byte `sed` script first to normalize it.
The AC system is not consuming the same energy in an overcast day versus an intensely sunny day, even if the outside air temperatures are comparable. The direct radiant heating of the structure with sun exposure introduces much more heat than the mere conductive transfer from outside air.

When people say that AC costs correlate with solar power, they are pointing out that the same solar energy that increases heat gain for buildings during the bright hours also increases photovoltaic output which can be used to compensate for that heat gain.

Having worked in large companies like this I can tell you it’s grim if you’re the type of person who likes to get things done and make a big impact.
