> But any good teacher will realize that they have to customize the learning to that year's kids, and constantly update with new teaching methodologies, new information, etc.

I mean this seriously: why? High school math is not a rapidly changing field. Sure, you might have to slow down or speed up, depending on the class -- although, is even that true? Is the average student really changing all that much from year to year? -- but that means taking out the file for day 82 on day 87 or whatever. That's not a massive adjustment.

The material is unchanging. The students aren't going to be all that different from year to year. What's going on that it seems like common sense to so many people that teaching high school math requires a bunch of novel planning?
Oh I also disagree with the “>” thing. I just think we could have been like: “the > thing seems bad, good call on the pipefail thing. moving on…” rather than like ruin this guys day with 100+ negative comments because of the novel horror of a clickbait blog title. It’s not that big of a deal (unless you’re the guy who just got clobbered by every HN user awake on Sunday morning).

It’s just weird.
Journeys Through Abstraction in the Spirit of Intuition Games
I have one question to ask you.

How do I do this in Make:

find_package(OpenGL)

target_link_library(app OpenGL::OpenGL)

Goals:

- Support Windows, macOS, *NIX like

- Compile with either MinGW or MSVC on Windows

- Decent error output if GL headers are not found

This SHOULD be possible. All we are doing here is calling the compiler with a fairly easy to derive set of options. Yet, in Make, there is no ideal way to abstract this. Even detecting platforms can be annoying, less trying to abstract the differences between them.

I do not find Make hard to use. I do not lack knowledge on how to use Make, or not understand the "zen" of Makefiles.

I just know that `-lGL` is a terrible answer to this question. And I find Make to be generally bad for compiling software.

Out of tree builds and reasonable platform detection generally require configure scripts, at which point we've thoroughly left any semblence of elegance.

> Desktop Linux GUI is still painful and really only suitable for those who love to tinker.

For what it’s worth, this is only true if you buy a device with poor Linux support which is kind of like buying a hackintosh and complaining about how much tinkering OSX requires. If you buy a good Linux box and put Fedora or PopOS on there, I think you’ll be productive instantly.

My biased 2 cents.
Yes totally. I'm not ruling out the idea that Scientism has the same horrible group dynamics as religion. I think it's very likely it does, and possibly worse.

What I'm not convinced of is that Scientism has the same level of effect on individuals--scientists don't seem to become as wildly inflated as priests or cult leaders.
The plan isn't to kill it, but they are going to combine them.

They are reducing redundancy, getting bad assets off their books, and reducing costs. These streaming services (minus Netflix) are not profitable.

Exactly, if it made a big difference to profitability then it would be evident in the market place. TDD shops would out compete the ones that don’t use it. This doesn’t seem to happen in the market. What that means, if TDD is a benefit, it is such a small benefit that other factors in the business eclipse its impact.

Yes! This is what my site MicroFounder is exactly about and by that, I don't mean you should buy the paid membership (you can build it without paying for any "framework" or community or whatever).

I feature new startups built by solo founders on the front page (for free) to show people that it's possible to build a profitable internet startup to pay the bills. Or, to keep the job and build a retirement fund, or travel fund, or whatever.

I'd say that every developer should think about it. Yes, of course, work your full time dev job but also start thinking and then building some small startups. Maybe you won't reach $10k MRR in a year (although I have many examples on my site who do) but still, you're starting to move in this direction.

And there's this question of "if" – can I succeed? Others are doing it, but me — me personally, can I do it? And I'd say of course, yes, 100% – because it's a matter of making the decision.

What would be sought is return of property which small claims courts do have the power to enforce. A case trying to change the laws to force a company to provide services to you against their choice, with some exceptions for discrimination due to protected classes, would easily cost millions and is pretty much dead in the water from the get go. If the property value is assessed to be more than $10,000 then by all means seek relief in another court but note Google wouldn't be able to have a lawyer represent them in small claims..

If Google has to choose between sending an executive to small claims to defend the company without representation or try to resolve a dispute via settlement, they are likely to try to resolve it via settlement which is the type of relief this individual appears to be seeking.

Tell HN: Google Intercepting SMS
I'm probably late to this. Today, my Samsung phone started intercepting my SMS conversations to provide "chat" features: the typing dots and read receipts. It did it without my permission and without me installing any updated. In the settings there was a (I'm paraphrasing) "let google steal your data to enable rich chat" popup, that I clicked no to, and it appears to have gone away. I know iPhone already does this, personally I don't want it, and it's super unethical to just start intercepting SMS without opt-in.
But public stocks seems to focus on valuation over profits, which is reasonable given how things turned out.

Apple going from 1 trillion to 2 trillion valuation is much more valuable to shareholders than Apple paying out 100 billion in profits. But if the stocks aren't publicly traded then the main pay-out are the profits, so they try to maximize profit over growth, which is probably much healthier for the economy overall.
I don't. The Mail wants to turn every story into outrage. The Telegraph has lost touch with reality, and is frankly weird. I cancelled my Times subscription over the weird reporting of the Snoopers Charter. I checked back recently and it has just got worse
> can we just wait out a decade or so of storage improvements before this becomes a non-issue?

I'm not sure that there is anything on the horizon which would make duplicate data a 'non-issue'. Capacities are certainly growing, so within a decade we might see 100TB HDDs available and affordable 20TB SSDs. But that does not solve the bandwidth issues. It still takes a long, long time to transfer all the data.

The fastest HDD is still under 300MB/s which means it takes a minimum of 20 hours to read all the data off a 20TB HDD. That is if you could somehow get it to read the whole thing at the maximum sustained read speed.

SSDs are much faster, but it will always be easier to double the capacity than it is to double the speed.
I've heavily relied on GNUMake myself in a commercial project. But when I encounter a software that does require a GNUMake >= a specific version and on top bash instead of Posix SH, I must be quite desperate to install this just to build some software. My excuse was that I was building against 80 different target devices (it was j2me development) on some under-powered machines and that there was no budget for cutting down build times by several orders of magnitudes compared to ant. What's the author's excuse?

Because there were other classes more worth my time, and so by skipping the in-person classes of subjects I needed to take but where I knew the material well I could take a higher course load and get more of the things I actually learned new material from.

By the time I started university, I'd been programming for 13 years, I'd done paid freelance development jobs, and written my first compiler, and I'd done more advanced stuff than the first several semesters worth of classes. I had gaps, and I filled them with the group work and books, but there was no value to me in the in-person lectures for the introductory computer science courses.

My sympathies to the coders downstream of this large change for the amount of work required. I would like to add cursor based pagination to the APIs I manage. It would not be an option to go to our clients and explain that offset-pagination will be removed. There seems to be very little cost in supporting both.
> Piracy is always an option, but most people prefer to pay for content if it is reasonably priced with few strings attached.

No. Only those people whose income high and work and leisure time is valuable like to pay. I find that all of these condition have to be met and not just one. I know enough people who with their high IT salaries still share Netflix or other service accounts among multiple families. And as expected they are ever ready with righteous explanation on how this is correct thing to do.

Then there are billion plus people in third world who can't pay whatever lowest price content owner might decide. So piracy is not second thought but like most natural first option to watch content.

With the increasingly saturating mix of content with ads, the future I see that there will be plenty of "cheap", "unlimited" plans to consume content for some definition of these terms.
In this particular podcast, they have a three-piece band they work with every episode (guitar, drums and piano). The music is improvised just like the singing. Usually either the piano or guitar will start, the other two will join in. And then they follow each other.

They definitely rely on musical tropes they all know, for example "rock song" or "broadway song". But overall, it's a combination of them all being insanely talented, having worked together a lot, and once in a while cue-ing each other.

Here's an episode of another podcast they guested on (Switched On Pop) where they walk through their process (AND do an improv musical at the same time): https://switchedonpop.com/episodes/switched-off-book-with-je...

Because of the fairly unique requirements of their setup (I have heard them describe the LHC, with its storage ring of about 30km, as doing “10,000 experiments per second”. They throw away most of their measurements within a ms, but still keep about a petabyte each day (https://home.cern/science/computing/storage)), they build their own hardware, network, storage arrays, etc.

I think that builds a culture where it’s normal to build your own tooling.

It also may help that they have huge budgets, making it relatively cheap to develop this kind of stuff.
The material may stay the same but the reason why a child may not understand it will vary.

> The New York Times determined that several stories she wrote about Iraq were inaccurate, and she was forced to resign from the paper in 2005.[2] According to commentator Ken Silverstein, Miller's Iraq reporting "effectively ended her career as a respectable journalist".

> She worked in The New York Times' Washington bureau before joining Fox News in 2008.

Some shade being thrown by wikipedia there.

It seems relevant that she literally outed a CIA agent, at the express request of the Republican President's team, to maintain a fictional reason they had invented for starting a war. The President then later commuted the sentence of the person involved, when their appeal failed, and they later got pardoned by Trump.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Libby

I'd suggest this perhaps points to the root of the problem being in neither wingnut TV shows, nor The New York Times, but somewhere deeper. When Oliver North and other people who betray their country are getting fat checks to spout lies on Fox News, then really what hope is there for truth to prevail.

edit to add: minor but totally typical detail, the guy who leaked the CIA agent's info, got his licence to practice law back, because this same Judith Miller, claimed that her initial testimony was a mistake. There's just no consequences for lying.

Is it possible you are confusing container queries with something else? I don't think preprocessors and/or CSS methodologies have anything to do with that. I don't see any way they could solve the problem that container queries are tackling. At least not without JavaScript. But I'm more than eager to learn that I'm wrong about that.
I see them on iOS any time I go to settings or take a photo or open Apple Music. You might not consider them to be ads, though. “Your iCloud storage is full…” and so on.

Did you ever see the David Letterman show? Paul Schaffer, the keyboardist and bandleader on the show is a great example of that. Before Letterman, he played piano on Saturday Night Live.

Paul was an improviser, musically and comedically. Some word or concept Dave was riffing on would catch something in Paul and out would come related (often hilarious) music. On SNL, he and Bill Murray did a great lounge pianist/singer duo, playing off one another and obviously not entirely rehearsed.

I'll let you dig for links to that stuff. The digging is probably more fun than some presented example in this case.

> High school math is not a rapidly changing field

Are you sure? Here is a list of 16,000+ papers written about teaching high school math since 2018: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?as_ylo=2018&q=pedagogy+up...

Also, as a teacher, you have to adopt the district standards, which change every few years. Certain areas are removed, others added, some things are more important, some less. Those standards are changing to meet new standardized testing requirements.

There is a lot of change happening. Just like in programming. People who learned Cobol still need to learn new languages once in a while, because things change, even though the principles stay the same. It's the same data structures, same algorithms, but yet software engineering is rapidly changing.

The point isn't that CMake is good. I don't think anyone is arguing that CMake isn't an ugly, weird mess. I can point out several annoyances that are frankly disturbingly stupid.

However, it also offers practical answers to real problems that even Autoconf don't do a good job with, and that makes it valuable. CMake can handle out of tree builds, vendoring, cross-compilation, packaging RPMs/debs/even DMGs, library and platform detection, test suites, abstracting build systems, MSVC/Windows... If you are going to tell me about the "best" way to compile software and the answer to this is either "shrug" or "Here's a shitty 1000 line Bash script you can copy" then I'm going to continue to discard the advice, because frankly it sucks.

CMake, also, for all its faults, has improved a fair bit from the 2.x days. I'm not saying it will ever not be ugly, at least as far as the language itself goes, but they're definitely cleaning up a lot of the worst mistakes over time and it's making CMake a lot less of a bad proposition. You do have to opt-in to some of the new practices, but it is nonetheless worthwhile improvements.

All employer provided healthcare setups I have encountered in the UK do not even offer a GP replacement service [1]. You still need to go to your NHS GP and get an open appointment and then the insurer will redirect you to an approved service (where you will indeed get a faster appointment). Also most insurers do not cover most chronic problems (you'll have to fallback to the NHS) and are really meant to cover just acute issues.

edit: and of course you'll rely on NHS for any emergency.

At my current job, our intranet site has lackluster performance due, in part, to limit/offset pagination. Unfortunately, the business treats the "reports" we author like glorified spreadsheets and want the ability to filter on any column and order by any column. It makes it near impossible to tune/optimize.

The legacy system we're replacing used cursor pagination in a lot of areas and was perfectly acceptable to them, but now that we're going web based - it's not. Unfortunately, really - it seems vastly superior.
