I've already read this research. The problem is that there's massive selection biases at work.

It doesn't mean taking more people without teaching credentials results in an equal or greater quality of education.

e.g. I am a high school dropout who's doing pretty-damn-well at teaching. I do not think this means we need more high school dropouts teaching, though.

I've learned a whole lot reading the pedagogy literature and reading about the kinds of strategies that credentialed teachers are required to learn during their practicum and student teaching. It's difficult to imagine that these courses of study are not useful.

(The research does probably mean that programs intended to incentivize existing teachers to get graduate degrees are probably flawed, except for some special cases in e.g. secondary math education)
Yeah, I agree, that makes the most sense — paid tier has paid subscriptions, free tier has sponsorships. Thanks for the feedback!
I thought about getting a Shield. But only as a low maintenance Plex Server appliance. I wouldn’t voluntarily look at any interface on my TV designed by an ad company.

I have a few Roku TVs around my house and I recommend them to most people. But I also have AppleTVs connected to my most used TVs.
I feel the case could be made that knowing the explode syntax is obsolete because you should have code hints. That being said, in language the general theme follows English language sentence syntax with the verb abstracted to the function name.

As in verb(subject, predicate, preposition)

Think of it as a sentence, you would say "Separator exploded the string"

The verb is exploded, so that's the function, Seperator would be first, then the string, and any modifiers which would be equivalent to prepositions, as in "Separator exploded the string at the first occurrence".

Anyhow that's what used to be taught as best practice if you were developing a new language.

Controversy based marketing is timeless. This doesn't feel like anything new - just an easy cheap way to save some marketing bucks at the expense of social cohesion. Telling companies not to do it would be like telling them to make less money. I think it's incumbent on us to eschew the manufactures controversy.

Adam writes that his investment criteria are "strong, authentic connection" to the problem, "big enough to generate venture returns", and "someone who is intelligent, trustworthy, and ambitious", and that Dylan was all three.

I feel like that papers over just how long it took for Figma to achieve takeoff with regards to revenue (https://twitter.com/DavidSacks/status/1570881311153463296). must have been a nervous few years in the early days, and the series A/B folks really earned their keep.
"Strictly speaking, the C standards prohibit using a pointer to an object after its lifetime ends. It should neither be read nor dereferenced. In this context, it is a bug in the application. However, this idiom is commonly used by developers to prevent making redundant copies."

I thought that hack was dead and buried. It won't work in debug modes where buffers are zeroed in "free".

Fear of copying time is usually misplaced. The PDP-11 is gone. Unless you're copying megabytes, the copy time of recently accessed in-cache data is very small.
Reminded me a bit of the game Baba Is You
Remote X has been a godsend for me. I'm not always able to lug around a worthy machine, so being able to use lesser hardware as a 'thinclient' to my wireguard'd assets is very handy. Obviously I'm not going to expect high definition video or realtime gaming, but that's not what it's billed as either, so within the scope of what it's for I'm wholly satisfied.

People on both sides sound somewhat fanatic, and I've never understood that. I just want to use what serves me best with the fewest interruptions.

I ran wayland for 3 years in various forms, and could not reconcile the bumps and stumbles in the process. Maybe next year I'll give it a shot again. There has to be something that it's doing for everyone for me to be hearing this much about it still.
This hasn't been my experience at all, loose ties haven't done anything noticeable for me. Friends and former colleagues have opened a lot of doors, though!
You don't need to have it baked into the core protocol for it to work. Waypipe works pretty well for running Wayland clients remotely.
It's not even the writing - it can be blatant misinterpretation. There's precedential opinion that states that you can't ignore the letter of the law to pursue it's spirt. Yet there's a law that has "reasonable care" in it, but the precedential opinion on that is that it's a strict liability offense because 'applying reasonable care would frustrate enforcing the legislature's intent'...

The judges don't care. They're not impartial. They want the state to win more often than not. I mean, who pays their salary and what looks better than being part of law and order?

It can also be intentional deception. Look at the recent PA vote on retirement age of judges removing the language that provided voters info on the current age limit.
I use remote display of apps daily as part or work. I've a Linux VM, and all compute or memory intensive programs run on LSF with x11 forwarding or via direct login. Sure desktop users don't need the remote part, but enterprise / high end compute definitely does
A big problem with US building codes is just there’s too many of them - every town has its own rules, so you can’t share knowledge or buildings between them.

Some of the common rules in the US don’t help though; aesthetic rules like setbacks are pointless and expensive, but even the safety rules other countries don’t have cause big problems. Can’t have single stair apartments and everything has to be built to accommodate gigantic fire trucks.
I am surprised these old devices don't slow down due to memory failure. I have had countless Samsung Galaxies sent to the bin after their hardware memory slowly failed (you can easily tell because they were running the original factory versions of Android after a full reset, yet were running at a snail's pace)
A loss of production will of course result in lost wealth, but that can manifest as any combination of an increase in prices (account balances constant) or a decrease in account balances (prices constant).

For example if the government taxed enough money out of the system, prices would not increase (but stuff would be less affordable because you have less money to buy it with).

There's no getting around the increased scarcity, but the increased prices are in some sense a choice.
Everything is outdated eventually. It's the nature of our work. React was a reaction to Angular (because FB couldn't be seen using a Google framework). Google itself has seen beyond Angular now that web components are part of the browser. Other than as a convenience library, their overhead and rules are outdated. #sorry

> We have pretty good documentation on the performance of currencies over the past 500-2000 years.

Not “Pretty good” enough to detect hyperinflation by the definition at issue (50%+ monthly inflation.) Before regular, systematic, and frequent collection of data for price indexes, we have good enough data to make wide-range estimates of inflation over intervals of years to decades, in the best cases, but hyperinflation (whether or not it produces collapse of currency) doesn't continue long enough to show up in that, and also hyperinflation tends to correlate with conditions which reduce the availability and survivability of data. (The author of the article here notes a data problem with Yugoslavia in the late 20th century, for instance.)
I like using Notion + PARA[1].

I have a journal where I write notes with daily todos or make notes about systems/code, etc. It's okay for everyday stuff.

Then I have a separate PARA for larger ongoing stuff.

It's believable but then again had a distinct too good to be true fairytale feel. I hate to sound jaded but I keep waiting for a shoe to drop about it's accuracy or even validity.
In Pittsburgh, several have failed. One north of Pittsburgh turned into a housing plan. It took longer than expected because the irrigation lines had asbestos in them and needed to be remediated. Another to the east was originally going to be used for fracking, but the surrounding communities voted that down. It has been added to the county land conservancy. Efforts are under way to naturalize the land. Locals use it as a trail. It was amazing to me how fast nature took over once the golf course closed.

No full rewrites place.

I will start by properly correcting the NGINX codes.

I feel solving that will provide a bases to rewrite the other parts or the codebases.

Find new servers and backup everything onto the server and do the changes there including tests, and move successfully ones to production.
And for me that’s just “normal”.

Not that I don’t put in extra work, but I don’t think of just 8 being quiet quitting.
But what if you can't afford having huge server, to contribute to the network?

And how to incentivise people in redistributing content?

For example in perfect decentralized p2p world, people on mobile clients would be leaching content from fat clients. You either have to rent server, to host for your own phone, or go to some company to do it for you.

That's complicated :-(
Two examples of price inflation (price inflation= decline of currency)

1 ounce of gold in 1970 = $35

1 ounce of gold today is $1681

So the value of $1 today is 35/1681 x 100 = 2.08% of the value in 1970

A Rolex Oyster watch in 1970 was $210

A Rolex Oyster watch today is $8897.

So the cost of that watch in 1970 was 210/8897 x 100 = 2.36% of today's cost.

So if prices have increased by 40-50 times, that means the dollar today is worth about one fortieth to one fiftieth of it was back in 1970. Let's be generous and say that it's only one fortieth. One-fortieth is 2.5%, so today's dollar has lost 97.5% of its value in the last 50 years alone. If you go back further, then that loss is even greater.

Another way of looking at the loss of the buying power of the dollar:

Back around 1970 a blue-collar worker at Ford or similar could afford, on his single wage alone, to buy a house, a car, a holiday every year and allowed his wife to be able to stay at home and look after the 3-4 kids.

Today, both the husband and wife need to go out to work, and sometimes more than one job each, and that applies even to semi-professional workers. They often can't afford to have a house so they have to rent. They buy a car on time-payment because they don't have the savings to buy one for cash. They probably only have one kid, because they can't afford the 3-4 kids that were common back in the 60s and 70s.
Excellent question.

Enablement is a joke in software patents. I actually did research on this and "written description", and (from memory) some judges have said that you need "structure" in your application, and having a box on your diagram labelled "access control" can be that structure. A person of ordinary skill in the art could construct it from those words. There's no need to provide any further details on the access control.

Before someone points this out: obviously if "access control" is not part of the claimed invention, then you don't need to specify it beyond a box. But then you probably wouldn't have put it in the diagram in the first place.

There's an empirical test that the PTO could do: take some software patents and give them to a large sample of people skilled in the art (which, if I remember correctly, is often two years of relevant experience plus a BS degree in computer science). "Relevant experience" would mean "in the field of the patent," e.g. if it's automobile battery management software, experience in missile guidance doesn't count.

See how many are able to make and practice the invention with a "reasonable amount of experimentation."
> On the other hand, teaching is an innate human capability, and a big part of what makes us humans.

I've spent my whole career "teaching" in that sense. Explaining things, mentoring junior engineers, etc.

There's definitely skill transfer from that, but it's a bit different of a thing to try and take 25 12-year olds of vastly different backgrounds and ability for a year and get most of them to master a given curriculum.
That might be true of all the early amendments, given that they aren't painstakingly defined like modern laws. It might also be that they did agree (the ones who voted for it) and it's lost to history (federalist and antifederalist papers have some background, as do the similar state level constitutional provisions about arms, the press, etc).
I actually prefer trailing return type for the simple reason that they often get very verbose with templates, and then it can be difficult to find the function name in the declaration. With the -> syntax, the function name is always in the same spot visually.

As for -> being painful to write - that's obviously subjective, but more importantly, given that it's the operator you use to access members via pointer-like things (including smart pointers and iterators), it's already pervasive in C++.

AVIF is the example. It supports palette-based blocks in addition to classic DCT with sophisticated deringing. There's also https://pngquant.org (palette may seem banal, but it is a type of vector quantization) and https://github.com/richgel999/rdopng
> Moreover, the rarity of projects using Remote X, or abstracting it with libraries like NoMachine kinda validates the idea is the feature is considered a novelty and not used much.
> While I like the feature, I have feeling that it won't be missed or sought after much.

It’s not used or won’t be missed _by you_. It’s extensively used today by science and HPC facilities and clusters, where it’s at best complementary to things like NX (with the problems of basically having a second desktop instead of integrating into the existing system), but often the only option for remote GUI to heavier duty systems available, not to mention the remote OpenGL capabilities which although out-of-date and clunky, allows more efficient local rendering than just streaming bitmap deltas.

They don't call him a genius though, they call him America's most remarkable kid, with emphasis on his business acumen. It seems unfair to say something like "he's not going to revolutionize science" when they never implied he would.
> It's not a movie, it's a TV show that will have a run time of ~40 hours.

Game of Thrones is 70+ hours start-to-finish, that wasn't an excuse to slow the pacing down or write impotent dialogue. It knows how to direct characters, and the showrunners understand that 60 seconds of horse riding doesn't make good television. Allegory is used sparingly, and the world is fleshed out through it's characters rather than CGI environments. It leads to a story that can be followed by bookworms and football dads alike.

The Rings of Power doesn't build it's world in the same way. Instead we're whisked away to exotic locations that most viewers are unfamiliar with, and the following scenes do nothing to really characterize the world these characters inhabit. It's like the writing team and art directors never met to share notes. I'd argue that this lack of cohesion makes it decidedly harder to follow than other contemporary fantasy shows.

> The ones mentioning the budget as if it had been allocated to the first 4 episodes are even worse.

Okay, I'll be generous then. Why can't $125 million dollars buy better writers?
“The Network is the Computer”

For a time I had lots of xterms, emacs sessions, etc running across the network. It’s a great feature.
The penny doesn't really buy you a rotten apple core in the US today.
A lot of designers are up in arms over this acquisition and have signaled they'll move on to the next non-adobe alternative, so it raises the interesting question: by way of some anchoring effect, will Penpot or other competitors now be revalued at a much higher amount almost regardless of what their revenue numbers are like?
Big native plant ecology lover here, so I am stoked to hear when people are excited about plants. It sounds like you're interested in botany but also potentially plant ecology, soil ecology, and maybe agronomy. They're big topics and I feel like I can relate to a sense of not knowing where to begin. For me, the ecology side has always been the most interesting, so I'll add that perspective.

I'd consider approaching the topic by researching the ecology of the plants that you have around you, whether those you cultivate at home or the ones you see on your walks, etc. (Lots of good apps for helping you cheat the learning curve for identifying species or groups of plants). You might start to notice patterns in their distribution (if they're growing relatively naturally). Just learning some interesting facts about their adaptations to their native range can be a great way to start into botany. Those observations are all pieces of the puzzle that you can eventually start to see describe the plant: the preferred or required soil characteristics, symbiotic relationships, light or moisture levels, natural enemies, and the ranges of toleration of a given species (or even individual with a given history and health). I've typically had a harder time holding my attention when coming at those topics from a more theoritical or high-level apporach... I guess meaning I am more engaged with something like, "Why are some of Californian's oak trees evergreen?" than "How do nutrient concentrations affect plants?".

But it depends what excites you. Perhaps purchasing an inexpensive loupe (a.k.a. hand lens, or jeweler's lens; you can also just look through binoculars backwards as an effective way of magnifying specimens close at hand) would be a nice way to get to know plants differently. When I hear "botany" (as opposed to plant ecology, or any other number of related fields). I think pistils and stamens (parts of flowers) and leaf shapes and growth forms. But I also I think variation in modes of photosynthesis (C3, C4, etc.). I think about the difference between thorns, spines, and prickles- all poky, but with different ontogeny. Just learning about the plants around you, looking at them from very close up and from far away, smelling, touching, and tasting them (using reasonable discretion), and trying to learn what they're called and how they're related to each other can be a super effective way to pick up usable knowledge of all of the topics you've mentioned.

It's all cool to someone (me), but I'd just start in from the angle that you find most interesting because in the end you'll find it is all connected in a rather beautiful way. Pick a thread and pull. There are a million books- I'd go with one that will help you get to know the specific organisms around you.
Oh. I thought this was a different type of inflation gallery.

This is still cool, though.
Your job is to deliver what the execs consider to be a good outcome.

That includes helping the stakeholders come up with a stable set of requirements. Most of the time when teams are dealing with a lot of requirements change, it's because they never captured the true requirements which usually change at a much slower rate.

Secondly, your job is also to manage expectations, so that execs know what the impact of any changes will be when they request them.

Changes aren't an excuse to deliver late or over budget. These parameters are flexible and new targets should have been agreed when the requirements change was requested.

Execs will usually assess your performance without discussion. There is no venue to bring your cache of documents to prove your innocence after the fact.
Similar to mouse wheel scroll speed being a single line and not easy to change. Firefox does have a config setting for it but chrome doesnt.

Even Chrome OS scrolls a single line at a time. It feels so wrong…

As an HPC cluster administrator, I (and my colleagues) don't see its use on our clusters, either.

Instead, researchers either post process their data in the user interface and download it to visualize, or get the raw results and post process and visualize in their systems.

Once in a blue moon, a user generates some output window which requires very few interactions to look at their preliminary data, that's all.
You do need to be a little engaged with the community just to learn about all the knobs that at some point you need to twist, which is I think the point of this thread after all.

As an example, a beginner might never realize that they need to redesign the starting division templates in HOI4 unless and until told - and this is a common issue on threads in r/hoi4.
BART is pretty unreliable in part due to maintenance problems, but also due to system design.

For example two days ago there was a horrific final-destination-esque crash in which a motorcyclist happened to be in front of the train.

https://twitter.com/sfbart/status/1570997016347680768

This crash caused the entire system to be disrupted for hours, even very far away from the crash. According to BART, "We don’t have extra tracks to maneuver around problems. That’s why our system comes to a halt from one incident."

Sounds about right.
I think requiring standardized tests of homeschooled kids is a pretty good compromise… The standardized tests are ridiculously easy to ace if you're smart, and they'd catch kids who aren't learning reading or basic arithmetic

Under Wayland you'd just be sending the window you want instead. RDP can do this too, the point is that rendering remote is just plain more efficient.
Every 2 years I take Xfce (Xubuntu, Mint Xfce) for a test drive. It seems light and fast, I want to like it. Then every 2 years, I rediscover that the resize border on each window is 1px wide, which is completely unusable. When I google for a solution, the answer seems to be use Alt-Left-Mouse. I don't understand how that is a solution. I don't want to use 2 hands to resize a window.
I was not talking about implementation details but semantics. I agree with what you are saying. My own implementations are user-mode unless sleeping.
