I don't plan on having kids of my own, but if life finds a way (or I end up with custody of a relative's children) I figured I would similarly put together some kind of loose "curriculum" to guide them along if they took an interest in computing. Never actually planned it out - is a pretty large domain of knowledge to cover for something I don't currently plan on using, but I wouldn't be surprised if there are already pre-existing FOSS resources along those lines.

Anybody know of any projects in the same vein?
I was hoping this would have some relationship to Dick Pick's Pick operating system.
I finished my first on 1:33, starting from the edge and working in, moving to a different spot when I noticed too much flex was my strategy.

Given the authors note in this thread about each puzzle only having one solution probably means I stumbled onto a decent strategy
I've worked in Marketing for the better part of a decade. It's a constant pain point that even in this thread people are conflating marketing with advertising. The reality is that advertising is probably one of the lowest ROIs of a marketing department.

If you are a young/solo techie, here is some marketing advice to save you a ton of time:

- The number one source of new customers will be existing, stable customers. You make customers stable by offering tons of resources and post-sale updates.

- You would not believe how many deals I have seen lost because a founder didn't respond to a inquiry or forgot to schedule a follow up meeting. Have some sort of process in place to make your marketing-sales pipeline smooth and consistent.

- Have a specific plan for the kind of people you want to look at your company, and how you are going to get them to look at your company. Search ads are obvious but getting crazy expensive. Billboards are surprisingly effective. So is direct mail - you will never beat the ROI of sending a CTO a bottle of something fancy with a nice handwritten note.

- In person events are great. So are tradeshows. People are literally walking around looking for interesting products. If you don't get leads from these, it's probably because your product isn't interesting.

- Social media is a huge time and resource suck with limited opportunity for creating customers.

- If your product is going to make people happier/better off than the alternatives, they will be happy you found them. If you don't believe this about your own product, quit right now - this is how you end up exploiting people.
In my case, it started wonderfully, until they learned that they could just launch firefox from the terminal, and proceed to stupid prank videos on youtube. When they log-in, all that they see is an xterm (no menus, no icons). And they just arrow-up+enter to run their previous command that is invariably firefox. I tried disabling youtube on the hosts file and let them figure it out, but apparently is too large a step to make yet. Sigh.

It is not the crux of any problem, except for, uniquely, astronomers.

But they have their own solution we need pay exactly zero attention to. Leap seconds in UTC are just as big a nuisance for them as for everyone else. They have TAI, sidereal time, and this dumb bastard UTC with its own hacked up thing that doesn't match their precise alternative.
> Launching with broken drivers certainly did not help.

I get what you mean but people seem to be forgetting that Ryzen launched in an absolutely abysmal state and it took them a few iterations to get to the industry leader that we have today. I think Intel taking the loss leader perspective on this and essentially using people willing to buy as beta testers will pan out for them in the long run. They have been more transparent about it than AMD was with Ryzen or than Nvidia has been with literally anything which I appreciate.
> High current sink/source capable pins, meaning you can drive LEDs and other stuff directly.

FWIW, it's common to drive LEDs from GPIO pins on other micros too. From a quick look at the SAMD21 datasheet for instance, GPIO pins are rated to sink up to 10mA which will make a typical indicator-type LED probably too bright for indoor applications.

> The Arduino ecosystem with many available projects for which moving to an ARM chip would bring no benefits.

My question (which you and others have answered, thanks!) was in the other direction: the Arduino ecosystem largely works for these 32-bit chips too; what benefit is there in moving to an AVR?
I’m pretty sure it would be slower, if only by taking up more space in the instruction cache (in the common case where no hotpatch is applied).
I found https://badssl.com/ which at least helps me with the SSL cert issues, but I would still love to hear any other good solutions for testing other types of networking errors.
Given software patents are unethical, this means as a software developer I should start considering CC0 for code as it will prevent people/companies that play the software patent game from using that software?
- Ignore all the DotNet version names and numbers unless you're working on legacy stuff.

- If you're starting from scratch all you need to know is that you should use DotNet 6+ and you'll be on the mainstream track with full cross-platform support.

- Nothing is Windows-specific unless you're actually wanting to target Windows stuff specifically.

- If you're doing desktop dev MAUI is the way forward, but personally I don't trust Microsoft with desktop stuff any more (too much switching and deprecation over the years).
> I have no interest in car centric 15-min cities.

A car centric 15 minute city is literally impossible. There will always be too much congestion to get anywhere in 15 minutes since cars take up too much space.
It is what happens when you have an unlimited demand more for services and cost controls.

You can provide a world-class education in a bungalow or you can provide it in a marble Hall with a plethora of ancillary services and an army of Administrators to support them.

If the consumers don't fit the bill, they will always opt for a more expensive service.

Add and lies about return on investment and a healthy dose of fear of missing out, even those who have to take on debt to buy the service we'll go along with it
One thing I am wondering - i mean, everyone in the US knows Ford invented the automobile and the diesel engine was named after an american called Vin, but since when is ZF a US-company?
I went freelancer. Out of aprox. 12 hours per day I do programming my clients get like maximum 3. Rest are for me personally. Learn new stuff, play with different tech, etc. Most of the time my playing time also translates into paying stuff from my clients later on the road, but not immediately.

And yes, some projects I get from clients are soul sucking, but I chose them fully aware of that, hence the balance heavily in my favor in terms of hours. I get back my soul after was sucked this way :).

Nobody seems to stop and ask "are super high density cities what's best for human health?", and that seems rather odd.

No, I'm not talking about 'study x showed people like walkable cities', I'm talking about efforts like making connections between the correlated explosion in mental and physical health issues and the rise of large, dense cities.

Portland covers 145 square miles, is geographically diverse, and has a profoundly hollowed out middle class that comes in part from pandering to failed ideas like those of Richard Florida (who has himself admitted being wrong). Now, 1 in 5 Portland kids live in poverty, Californians and foreign investors buy entire neighborhoods and build block upon block of condo boxes, and the cost of living is through the roof. There is no 'Portlandia' here, just caricatures and deepening poverty and a bizarrely out of touch municipal government elected based on pet ideas.

And the average age of Portland residents? ~37 and rising. The percent of the population that are children (<19 years) has declined over 30% in the last two decades. It's a city for tourists, real estate speculation and arbitrage, and amenities pandering to an ever-older base.

Really? Do you consider yourself a soldier of fortune on the basis of what you do for work?

If marketers are mercenaries, what does that make Google and Facebook, who wouldn't even exist without their money-spinning ad products? The Axis of Evil?

My understanding is that since the game mentions:

"Rotate the tiles so that all pipes are connected with no loops."

These is exactly what a Spanning Tree is. So, any spanning tree generation algorithm would do. You just generate a random ST each time and cut this tree where the hexagon borders intersect with it (to get pipe pieces) and randomize their orientation.

These algorithms are not going to disappoint you in terms of performance.

I made tutorials on the topic as well. Might help me clear my point: https://youtu.be/d5yzKkG1n1U?t=36

> So while many might know about, nobody dares say a thing.

Maybe, but it's more likely that compiling solid evidence for fraud is just far too resource intensive and there is no reward for replication--especially negative replication.

And committing the fraud is far too tempting--you got your needed publication for tenure, and you're mostly safe as long as nobody accidentally makes your paper the cornerstone for something that becomes famous.

As for peers, you can spend your time moving your own ideas forward, or you can take a detour to prove one particular important researcher's ideas wrong. It's pretty clear which is going to be more beneficial to your career.

As the article points out, this was triggered by some short sellers looking to make a buck--not anybody in the field itself.
I live in a car centric 15 minute city.

My work is ~13 minutes away. There is a Primary and Secondary School within 5 and 20 minutes walk. A supermarket is a 10 minute bike ride away. A hospital is 10 minutes drive away. A top 50 ranked University is 25 minutes drive away.

There is a good question from w-j-w that has been deleted here. Yes - it's a 15 minute car city at 8:30 AM. My commute goes to about 14 minutes...

This is on the days when I'm not WFH - which should also be factored in.
In a similar vein I find reviews in general from most outlets are written only for the release day and are often either not revised if in written form, or not addressed in later videos.

Case in point Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance 2 just saw a re-release where the devs didn't do much but port it to other systems and render the game at a higher resolution. It had a release day bug that caused the game to crash so [some review sites pan the game](https://xboxera.com/2022/07/21/review-baldurs-gate-dark-alli...) giving it low scores of sub-5-out-of-10. The devs fixed it the next day. Now is that particular site going to revise their review? No. It sits at a 4/10 with a small note at the top saying the glitch has been fixed.

Court of public opinion is obviously a thing with Intel, and there's a lot of long-established fanboyism with "team green" and "team red", so there's a lot of people looking to Intel to fail.

Also I hope it's only a matter of time until companies embrace abstraction layers like dxvk.
Evidence, like the presence of several senior Provisional IRA members in the upper party ranks, and reliable intelligence that indicates that the IRA Army Council directs both PIRA and Sinn Fein strategy? The honoured presence of all senior Sinn Fein members at funerals for notorious PIRA members? The pro-IRA chants at election counts? Politics is a game where truth is expended for convenience, and in this regard SF/IRA are hardly exceptions. They called it the "Ballet box and armalite" strategy.

Would you at least agree that choosing an alternative party without these connections and connotations would be a better gesture from the Nationalist community to Unionists?

> off the cuff comments

I would say that an address to a party audience by the party founder addressing party strategy gives the comments significant weight, yes. If Jeffery Donaldson made comments remotely like these they would make headlines for weeks.

> the average engineer can't buy a house within 20km radius of world's top billionaires

Although before WFH (and maybe even afterwards), the world's top billionaires were insisting engineers live within 20km of them so they can work at their companies. Industries like tech (and finance, and defence) heavily cluster, leading to certain cities/regions getting horrendously expensive.
ChickenHole happens.
> If you perceive that John Smith is weak and lazy, but know he makes 20k more than you, that creates discord within you

You say that like its a bad thing. Emotions exist for a reason. Ignorance may be bliss, but it is also slavery.

> your organization doesn’t have the same opinion of John Smith’s value to the organization than you do.

In which case there is two possibilities. Either:

They are right, in which case this gives you the insight to look into yourself and fix it or emulate john smith.

Or b) they are wrong, in which case you can probably go somewhere else to get more money. Or you could figure out why they are misestimating your value and fix it.

No matter the situation,more information always gives you an advantage.
They will be wrong by at most one second. And being wrong doesn't even matter, as long as everyone (or rather, all your servers) agree.
Your proposal is to make the time Standard of billions of people not match what they experience, on behalf of a few space probes, none of which will use it.

But in honesty, the anthem isn't technically prejudiced against the Scottish identity today, it's just sort of ... weird due to this history and some accumulated shit, and many of us just fucking don't like it, but can't really do anything about it.

I realize that I'm about to mention a couple of niche cases, but there are times when short-term rentals are entirely appropriate and don't really affect the local market much. We should be careful how the laws are written.

One classic example is the case of a very popular event happening in a small market that is otherwise unremarkable. Say, the Masters golf tournament: for about two weeks a year, Augusta, GA, is full of non-locals. Many residents will take vacation during this time and rent their home out to golf fans from around the world. Very few people want to rent a home in Augusta any other time of year. (It's also small enough that you're not required to fill out any additional tax forms, just report the income.)

Another is the case of a home that, for whatever reason, will not sell in the current market but would reasonably be expected to in relatively short order. A brief, 3- to 6-month rental for, e.g., a family that is constructing a new home that is not yet ready but who have sold their existing home and need somewhere to live is an excellent use.

Like I said, somewhat niche uses, but it's worth keeping in mind that there can be legitimate, minimally-distorting uses.
It’s likely smaller than the style guide because it was just introduced. Either way that’s such a loose comparison.

I’m aware a language that enforces better coding styles is more efficient, I’m asking how and why does Carbon do this.
Is your city a 15 minute city at 8:30 AM?
It's a system explicitly designed to be short-sighted.

I'm not sure what else we'd call a system where elected officials have zero incentive to do anything other than look good for their re-election campaign in a few years.

Clearly, many politicians have gone above and beyond that and accomplished useful things. But there is zero incentive baked into the system for them to do so.

Democracy was designed to avoid dictators/kings and other really bad things :)

It's good at that when implemented well, though most aren't.

Generally it seems you wind up with oligarchs/corporations effectively owning politicians unless there is an extreme level of vigilance, etc.

But experience with communism/central-planning, suggests
that maybe it's best to optimize for the short term. At
least that works, and produces results in the meantime.

This is a false dichotomy. Clearly there are things that benefit from a short-term, MVP-style, iterative approach.

There are also clearly things that benefit from a longer view: climate change, infrastructure, etc.
I've had this argument in code reviews a couple of times:

Them (on the subject of 4 new methods): hey why did you make method 3 look "weird"? You should make it look like the other three.

Me: because one of these methods can set the building on fire, and the rest can't. I bet you can guess which one is the dangerous one. Works as expected.
Regarding small businesses in walkable areas, I think maybe the flip side of the same phenomena is a partial explanation. Big box stores, large corporate office parks, etc, don't work in walkable areas; they need a large footprint and wrap themselves in a lot of parking and they want people to get in and out of those parking lots easily so they do best on an arterial. If the big businesses are structurally pushed away from walkable areas, small businesses will naturally be over-represented there. Plus they can benefit from serendipitous discovery in those locations, since their marketing budgets may be nil.
Did he?

From the abstract: "my analysis could not clearly determine whether the bias was caused by misclassifying ambiguous phenotypes or deliberate falsification of the results."
I don't think there's such an easy attribution to capitalism. If anything, it's ignoring property rights when people become richer.

If you consider the settler colonial projects like the USA, the wealth comes from ignoring the property ownership of the indigenous people, and then also the slavery, and the ignoring or intellectual property for inventions and arts.

If you look at Europe, there's the extreme wealth transfer of living and shifting the Indian economy into Europe, along with you know, stealing the world's gold, silver, and other valuables.

For more modern times, you also need to contend with unions and government regulations(including socialist policies), along with more wealth redistribution from things like the GI Bill. The people(and descendents) who benefited from the GI Bill are significantly wealthier than the people who didnt.

Wealth and land redistribution, especially at the expense of poorer people gives a clearer direction for what has lifted people out of poverty.

You’re right, it’s like something that did not happen in their lifetimes will not happen ever.

To be fair to old Louis though, he did learn from the English civil war: he read Hume’s History of England and was well aware of how Charles I got killed. He tried very hard not to be as inflexible. So instead he got killed for going with the wind and saying yes too often, to the wrong people. And trying to flee, which was really un-patriotic, completely sank the legitimacy of the constitutional monarchy, and opened the door for the radicals.

> The ultimate goal for all business is to drive revenue, and it is imperative that this is achieved in a legal manner that abides with the local regulatory/compliance requirements.

This belief that "if nobody said it's wrong, it's okay" means driving "legal revenue" is always a race for loopholes.

I had a disturbing look at the everyday work of a PR disaster management company, and watched how they subtly directed the entire flow of a minor internet firestorm the way they wanted it to go. Few people saw what was happening, including some of those who knew that a PR firm was involved and were on the lookout for it.

If this is something that individual small-to-medium- sized companies can afford, what are the big players doing that we never see? And if we never see it, how does it get regulated?

But it's OK, because there is no rule against it.

In other words, you didn't understand it yet. That's ok. Always found it enjoyable myself but I didn't fully comprehend it either until reading and watching again recently after a bout of WWII history. If you've read the linked piece in full, you will on the next viewing.

Or course it can't compare to modern production, and even was considered a "filler" film at the time. As it sometimes shows, filmed on the lot in Burbank. Ingrid's daughter is on the disc saying her mother barely remembered making it and was surprised when people asked about it.

A lot of folks get tripped up on that and its "economy" of story as others mentioned here. But the important things, power of the screenplay, emotional impact, philosophical questions, performances, and "fit" with history are all top notch. Doesn't really get better than that.
