To make a broader observation: arguably one of the keys to a wealthy society is strong laws that protect private property (houses, businesses, etc.), because of just this phenomenon.

> But they seem to be fine with providing poor service to the children who are ahead, which should be unacceptable.

This is one of the reasons I hated school, when you can read the book, understand the material and complete the work in 20 minutes and you have an hour allotted and then just have to sit there it makes you dread going in every day.

This wasn't the case in every subject but when it came to maths and science it was just painful.
Yeah, this seems to be a mistake. Looking around at various sources it seems to actually be around 46%:

Also note that schools provide poor service to children who are behind. It's unfair to expect a teachers to provide good instruction to anyone in an 8th grade classroom where they have been tasked with instructing a group that includes students from a 6th grade level to a 9th grade level.
the innovation with blockchain is that it adds a feature that git doesn't have, namely to make it expensive to add new entries and very difficult to fork the chain.

on the other hand, i believe blockchain is used for many projects that don't need that new feature, where something similar to git would suffice. in other words a lot of blockchain uses are not innovative in that they don't enable something that would not have been possible without blockchain.

What's the native interface when Apple/Google/Samsung changes that every year (or two years)? What's the native interface of a kiosk at a car wash? (Where we used a touch screen running full screen Firefox and the users saw the same thing as they saw on their phone where they managed their wash coupons and whatevers.)

On desktop I don't run slack, discord, teams (and whatever wants to run separately) separately, if something that doesn't do meaningful local I/O and/or computation cannot run in a browser, then I don't use it if I can avoid it at all. And I hopefully can keep my streak of not developing nor shipping any forced electron based mess.

VSCode is fast. I'm surprised too. While native Windows things are just slow all over (with a beefy modern desktop).

Seriously, how the fuck can the start menu be this ridiculously slow? I have like 50 things installed, and I use about 5 of those. And it takes forever to find those as I start typing. (I have KDE flashbacks!)

Oh and super native Firefox is also a disaster when it comes to speed (I search for the same bookmarked pages in the awesomebar - the combined location and search bar, I have disabled the search part, because the UX was horrible, so it should just search in the local recency shorted LRU cached list of pages ... and it's dog slow and dumb).

Big billion dollar unicorns push those meaningless updates, not small teams (at least in my experience).

Infra as code can't actively manage things like database clusters, handling promotion of a secondary, automatic deployment of new replicas, scaling. Using it to deploy RDS Aurora doesn't count. My impression is that operators are designed to handle those "active" decisions in real-time, and that's outside the realm of terraform, GitOps etc.
As a "gifted" student I was a needy kid. Being inappropriately educated when I was young meant years of overcoming the conditioning that everything I'm asked to do should be trivially easy with almost no effort. Boredom, isolation from my peers, and everything being so easy made interacting with the world quite difficult afterwards. Anxiety and frustration when something requires any amount of effort is a damn hard thing to get past, and reprogramming the low level responses to such things which were burned in in grade school is very hard as an adult.

I lost a lot of quality of life as a result.

Eventually you will have to dispose of old clothes as they start to get holes, tear, break seams, and just generally fall apart.

I still have shirts from over 15 years ago. I buy new clothes maybe once or twice a year at most. When it becomes too swiss-cheesed to wear in public anymore, I just use it as a rag/drying towel. I just recently bought all new socks and retired all the old ones to rags. When the rags are so oil stained, torn up, and useless, then I'll finally retire them to the trash.

I keep old ruined pants for patch material, too, since my pants are pretty much all the same few colours. Sewing is easy, you don't have to be good at it, if you can manage to get the thread through the needle eye and tie a secure knot, you've already done the hardest part of sewing. The rest is just pushing the needle back and forth through the material. Doesn't matter how sloppy the stitching looks, if it holds, it's good. Nobody is going to lean over, inspect it, and say, "You, sir, sew like an idiot." It really requires zero skill, just buy a cheap sewing kit that comes with thread and needles, and give it a go. Nylon thread is the best, IMO, because you can use a lighter to melt the thread into the fabric and then not have to worry about having a secure start and end knot that won't come loose.
Huh. I can buy a pound of mustard seeds on Amazon and make my own spicy brown. This changes everything.

The difference is in the presumed defaults.

If you hire me, my assumption is that outside of company/organizational problems/changed of some sort, you'll keep me around so long as I'm reasonably competent.

Contract to hire on the other hand , sends off a vibe of we'll probably hire you if you wow us. Which, if someone already has a job or has other good offers in hand, is not going to sound like a great deal unless it's a company/position they really want and are very confident they can do.

>for example, when i was in one of these programs, our overwhelmingly White class (in a school that was about 60% Black) got to learn about the stock market by simulating a working exchange. There’s nothing about the notion of buying and selling that can’t be understood by any student—yet this was part of the curriculum only for the small number of students deemed intellectually worthy of the extra attention.

It's all well and good to point out that buying and selling are fundamentally simple concepts, but that's not the same as saying that the instruction could be given universally. First, students have to be stable enough personally and in their lives that they can show up and pay attention for all the instruction that makes the exercise get off the ground at all. Then, students need to care about the material and believe that there is justification to learn it, or it's casting pearls before swine. In my public school experience, you've just lost 80-90% of the student body with those two factors.

Then, if you have all that, you need teachers who are confident enough with stock markets to teach the material and go beyond a narrow track of reciting facts, and that goes way further than just 'buying and selling'. On top of that, the teacher needs to be able to make or facilitate a simulation that moves at the right pace and adjusts as necessary, including getting all the students to work well together.

From the perspective of a school administration, you only get a few teachers who will have those skills and personality, and it's pretty important to have them doing work like that, because teaching-as-remedial-fact-recitation for a standardized test will get rid of those good teachers pretty quickly, and now you have no one left to teach the kids who could have benefitted from the differentiated curriculum.

I want every kid to get an equal amount of optimization.
I like make. But these days to me the best part about it is that it’s a common entry point. Most popular languages come with their own make-esque tools that provide the same experience to developers and systems.

Nope. It's `apt ... && ...`, and as the left-hand side of `&&` would fail on systems without APT, the right-hand side won't ever run, so it wouldn't work because it wouldn't ever download that `tox` binary.
> Poor kids and minority kids wind up in classrooms that are doubly starved for resources.

People always assume this to be the case, but it doesn't seem to be true whenever I look at specific school districts. For example, D.C. and Baltimore public schools have a student body with _many_ more poor and minority children than the national average, and the per pupil spending at these schools is also well above the national average.

To clarify, you're against the abolition of these gifted programs in that case? They seem like a pretty direct solution to giving our own people a high quality education.
> Also considering this aspect the comparison is not there: it's a local access to the hardware vs an "I own your infrastructure and I'm able to deploy my firmware".

Yes, performing this reverse engineering requires physical access. But it potentially enables one to find further vulnerabilities and systems knowledge necessary to build attacks that brick network terminals or otherwise disrupt the network. Russia's action proves these attacks are viable and useful (even if an authenticated management vector was used).

Your original comment about the constellation height was a non-sequitur: we're talking about threat actors' attacks on end-user terminals. The article makes clear ("on the ground") that this is what it was referring to.

Yes, jamming, etc, are also useful attacks that threat actors use but not what we're talking about.

What are the barriers in Palo Alto? I can imagine they are facing a very high percentage of parents pushing their kids as gifted.

(And truthfully there are a lot of above average folks in Palo Alto. Not necessarily all the kids though.)
I'm convinced that it's impossible to prevent anyone that can physically tamper with a system from having full privileges on that system, as a result of physics. The only way to truly protect information is to make use of quantum effects, and we've only just started doing that in labs. Everything else is just making it harder.

So, if you make things harder and someone comes along that invests more effort to overcome, can you really call that a vulnerability? It'd be a real vulnerability if with this access to a user terminal they could elevate permissions on the satellites, but that hasn't been shown (yet?).
I guess it depends on what you mean by worse. In my case, I abandoned excel and rebuilt the tool as a web app using Vue.js, Chart.js, Firebase, etc., which is what ProjectionLab is now. More overall development work, but the end result is way better than a spreadsheet.

> Is everyone at WhatsApp also guilty of a crime for continuing to work on WhatsApp even though they know the Taliban uses it for communication?

Of course not, because intent matters.

The team at WhatsApp works super hard to keep people who shouldn't be using it off the platform, so that everyone else can derive use and enjoyment. If WhatsApp was built as a platform to facilitate terrorist communication you're damn right you'd be held liable for working there.

Tornado was built, and is operated, specifically to facilitate money laundering. It has no other purpose but to conceal the source of funds which only matters if the funds were acquired illicitly. They do not now, and have not ever, attempted to stop the service from being used for this purpose - after all that's why it was created.

Disturbing Proof They're Quietly Deleting Internet (Search Engine Page Limiting)
Tldr of video: Google truncates 6.5b results for "climate change" to just a few hundred. Same thing occurs on other search terms and other search engines.

You don't know they limit your results until you reach the last page. To try, keep going towards the end of the results, keep going to the farthest page possible and it will end shockingly soon. Only then does the results number change. (I've only tested on desktop)

Once you get to their last page, It will tell you it omitted results and you can click a button to show all, but it only adds about double, so instead of 20 pages, you get 40 pages. Out of billions of pages, you get less than 1000.

>I say you can use maths to prove whatever you like.

You're technically right, but only when compared against the exact way the comment you're replying to was phrased. Scientists don't just write down whatever equations give them the answers they feel like getting that day, they first figure out which equations give correct answers, and then use only those.

The stability of ring systems can be worked out using the same old laws that Newton figured out, which describe inertia and gravity. They can then be tested in particular by observing rings around other planets, and in general by every observation that confirms Newton's laws.

Every job I've gotten since the one out of grad school has been directly through someone I knew. (Not many of them but a large span of years.) And, yes, one of the interviews was having an informal lunch with the CEO and COO when I hadn't even directly asked about a job yet.

From the new Mathematics Framework for California Public Schools:

> All students deserve powerful mathematics; we reject ideas of natural gifts and talents... The push to calculus in grade twelve is itself misguided... An important goal of this framework is to replace ideas of innate mathematics 'talent' and 'giftedness' with the recognition that every student is on a growth pathway... There is no cutoff determining when one child is 'gifted' and another is not.

Yes, triple redundancy for critical systems is typical for space applications.

With small computers being relatively cheap and lightweight, I suppose a satellite has a highly available internal computing configuration, with large level of redundancy, capable of functioning even after serious hardware degradation.
This was also my experience in the early 90s, which was frustrating (at the time) because in the 1980s admission was based on IQ tests and in those programs we did a lot of cool things! (computer programming, robotics, rockets, chemistry, biology etc. etc.) High-achieving students could skip grades if they wanted to, but the program itself wasn't just doing more of the same, and I valued that.
I've been at it for 20 years and I've tried a TON of stuff.

.NET is a perfectly reasonable -- dare I say enjoyable -- way to go if your systems are already configured to support it and you control the hardware you are running on.

The .NET toolchain for compiling and installing .NET apps if you're not already in the Windows ecosystem was -- last time I tried, which admittedly was a while ago -- very clunky compared to C/C++ tooling.

Qt is very good (but VERY expensive if you're not Open Source) for C/C++ and I've used GTK for Linux.

Java is pretty good at GUI but then you're taking on Java's other quircks / bloat. similar to .NET but worse.

I've also tried Flutter and Electron. Both have their pros and cons. But writing the low-level code in something like Go, compiling to a shared library, and linking it with Flutter is a workflow I somewhat like for desktop. That's what I'm doing for some of my newer apps.

But the reason I left that comment is my experience with C/C++ in GUI development has been the most positive so far (usually using Qt). C/C++ have just been around so ridiculously long and had so many tools written for them. But take it with a huge grain of salt since I'm in an industry where more times than not the primary GUI is in a web browser so I don't deal with non-browser GUIs every day.
Thats' the point, its a trivial amount. Implying it's super easy and people should be worried.
The same thrust started happening in Canada recently as well. The Vancouver School Board recently eliminated its honours programs in math, science, and English in the name of inclusiveness: "By phasing out these courses, all students will have access to an inclusive model of education, and all students will be able to participate in the curriculum fulsomely".

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/vancouver-sc...

There has been a similar move to eliminate the VSB's year-long gifted programs (Multi Age Cluster Class) by breaking it into six-week part-time sessions of which any student could attend some. Again, the proponents of the change see this as being a means to expand the "inclusiveness" of schools: “The model would enable students to experience full inclusion at their current schools while simultaneously receiving best-practice enrichment programming”

It can be used for a software architect role, but in general I'm just trying to poke at systems design ability regardless of the job level. Expectations are different for different job roles, obviously. If a software architect didn't do well on this question, for example, it would be very likely be a "no hire", but for a junior engineer their performance just needs to be appropriate for their level.
