Admit that the failure to learn was caused by a failure to teach, strike the grades from the record, and give priority enrollment for a repeat section in the next term?

The instructor operates with the assumption that they'll be teaching the same class next term, so the friction for instructors to teach for a repeat class roster is low. The administration operates with the assumption that students will be enrolling for that class, so the friction for administration to enroll a repeat class roster is low.

It is possible to educate our students to a high standard, without effectively punishing them for failing under faulty leadership.

I haven't even yet suggested the idea that tuition would be waived for the repeat section, because while that argument could be made, the argument I'd like to highlight here is that whatever tough spot the administration percieves requires little more than a willingness to accomodate failure as a part of learning.
> If they didn't, they did the "if you are a fighter pilot with bad vision, get a wingman with good vision" and hired a number 2 or team lead who did.

A good friend of mine I made in college told me right when we first met, "I have a terrible memory. You're going to have to remember things for me, I just can't even remember people's names."

Brilliant programmer (and guitar player) as well. Every 2-3 years like clockwork, he messages me saying, "I think I'm getting prematurely senile/dementia, I just have trouble remembering things." Then I explain to him again, "OK, so one of the first things you told me was..."
Yeah, but survivorship bias is a big thing as well. There are a number of "relatively uneducated folks" who generated significant catalogues: the Stones, the Who, the Kinks, ... The writers at the Brill Building generated gobs of hits and none of them were musicologists as I recall. In the case of the Beatles, they were coupled to a producer who was musically trained, had an ear for comedy and was willing with his engineers to push the technology quite hard.

We don't remember or even hear about the also rans and nearly made it's, so we can't really judge how rare the Beatles talent was vs. how rare their opportunity was (and how they jumped on it). Certainly did the 10K hours of training and continually advanced. They also had the advantage of doing it first so there was (far?) less of a minimum-standard they had to exceed.
Part of the plot background is about unionization.

And you don't need to be blue collar. When I was working tech support, I got in, signed in and that's when I started. At the end of the day, I signed out and that was the end. I worked the "east" shift at SGI in '98. East covered the phones from 5am to 9am with each person taking 2h in that range (mine was 7am to 9am) and then we did callbacks from 9am to 1pm or so (depending on when you started). Central picked up the new calls at 9am and covered the new calls from 9am to 1pm and then west picked up live calls from 1pm to 5pm - I'm not sure how the different teams did their coverage.

Anyways, the thing was at 3pm when I signed out I was done done. I didn't have niggling problems of tech support haunting my mind (compare to being a SDE) or trying to get ahead of the curve of technologies that management will ask about. And the "not worrying about those things" - that was my most productive personal programming time that I've ever had. I have gotten better over the decades at coding - both in the code itself and the use of larger systems... but in terms of quantity and satisfaction of things done, that was the best time.
Not really “changed hands.”

Stages:

1. EA with original Origin devs
2. EA post-Origin
3. EA, integrated into Online group (with Westwood)
4. EA Mythic (UO & DAOC)
5. Broadsword (owned by the former GM of EA Mythic under a licensing deal)

I think that’s fairly accurate. Older devs correct me if I’m wrong.

Flirted with a similar idea. The root of it was to externalize the mundane aspects of day-to-day life. The mundane: food, laundry, cleaning.

Food had two broad strategies: (1) Repeated Deliveries of staples with one afternoon a week dedicated to cooking, portioning and freezing. Meals are labeled and microwaved as needed. (2) Ad-hoc Food Delivery, think Uber Eats or Doordash for most meals. I found 2 to be excessively expensive. 1 requires dish-washing but I can mitigate it with using disposables whenever possible.

1 also requires setting up repeated automated deliveries. I haven't quite figured out how to do this yet, but I'm sure there's an Instacart-type service for it.

Laundry: there are door-to-door laundry services, and/or using an in-house cleaning service mentioned below

Cleaning: there are maid services. If well-planned you could have them arrive to wash the dishes created in the above step, as well as retrieve/put-away laundry. A robot-vaccuum helps between cleanings.

As for activities with people with similar schedules, that's the difficult part. Adults are chaotic.

There's signing up for the military, which would also neatly handle your other items.

So far I've found that a co-worker-based activity group is reliable. You all get off about the same time, the people are relatively stable from week-to-week, and you all have similar work lives.

Second best was a regularly scheduled meetup group.
That sounds like some poor programing in bash. The essence of the problem from what you wrote is something like:

display the blame for all lines of all files per folder | sort by name | sum counts by name

A single command-line can contain all the bash code, since the necessary tools are all available and can be placed together in a pipeline.
The sum total of every single American lawn occupies less than 0.5% of the overall land area of the continental US.

Meanwhile, if 'emissions from passenger cars in the US' were a country, they'd be the sixth largest carbon polluter in the world.

Not to mention the millions of years of life lost to traffic, air pollution, crashes, and their contribution to our sedentary lifestyles.
Also non-US? Compensation band would be outstanding for European standards.
Also, are the LLM/RL/Rewards requirements binding or can I just apply with any ML knowledge or even just interest?

At least in the UK the pharmacist’s job is to check the prescription makes sense and isn’t going to poison the patient, and also to give crucial directions to the patient as they probably won’t read the leaflet. Seems like an important job.

I love this! Clever idea.

Thank you bugfix-66!
I can back it up, although only in a longer conversation, as it involves a lot of personal experiences.

You're right that past generations could be more bottled up because of social expectations, but I've seen also more flexibility in the past around various concepts.

I don't mean to make an argument, for which you seem to be positioning yourself, but rather just see that some things have regressed, and it's not all merely relative.

By the tone of your response, I'd imagine you had many contradictory conversations, possibly with close-minded individuals, so maybe that's why you're interpreting what I'm saying as if I'm a US right-winger.

I think we'd be more in agreement if we'd met in real-life, as you also seem to value growth. My argument is that for that growth and development to happen, weaknesses need to be stated more clearly and addressed.
The idea that the adversarial removal of royal legitimacy calls for the execution of all the children of the royals sets me reeling. I think the idea was offensive at the time as well, since the clumsy and brutal killings of all but the tsar were covered up.

Some of the people in the article survived the era. One notably died in Manhattan 1993 after settling down in the US and marrying a woman from Buffalo.
>I don't know why you keep throwing in "up to nuclear exchange" in your argument as if it's somehow guaranteed

Obviously nothing is guaranteed, it's all a matter of probabilities/credences. But this is exactly why you can't make decisions based on the average/expected outcome and leave it at that. The utility of a nuclear exchange is so massively negative that it rationally requires giving that scenario a wide berth, wider than a simple likelihood assessment would suggest. That you are only considering the expected response in your analysis and resist considering the worst-case just shows how inadequate and ill-considered your proposal is.

>Same has been said about Crimea annexation. And about eastern Ukraine annexation. And about current invasion.

You don't seem to know what MAD is at all.

There are only two places I call it out in my CV:

1) A pandemic-related paper, where press coverage was a big deal, because it was meant to influence policy decisions on a very short time frame.

2) One paper where we are in the 99th percentile for media and social media mentions for a very good journal, and we call that out specifically.

But as a general rule? You're far more likely to trigger "Is that what you're spending your time on?" and "No serious about scholarship" than you are to find someone impressed with your altmetric score. Indeed, I'm worried about several of my colleagues who are learning hard in that direction (being the Social Media Editor of a journal, etc.)

Are you justifying its OK for Uber to have a horrendous culture that MULTIPLE sources identified has being atrocious because its 'common' in Western Culture?

Do you think culture changes overnight? 2017 was not that long ago. The first link goes back to then, I provided a small list because you asked for specific examples. It's a small list (but deep issues). How do people such short term memories. It's how the past repeats itself, no?
Please share them, then. For example, here's another video of Engineering with Rosie [1]; 4 hours spent charging on an ordinarily 8 hour trip after a mishap. I've driven those roads, and her trips are consistently 1-2 hours longer than an equivalent ICEV. So no, I don't buy that the performance is anywhere close to ICEVs for longer trips, and reliable charging is absolutely an issue.

Secondly, You aren't saving hundreds when using fast charging; in many places you're doing roughly the same cost wise, for a worse experience [2]. Here's a reddit comparison from a year ago versus a hybrid, which came out to be more expensive [3]. It's fair to say that if you're just charging it at home and using it as a commuter, then yeah, you're coming out ahead on fuel costs, but as I mentioned above, you just can't do some things as well as a normal car, and sometimes that really matters.

That is an option but not tenable to most people in our modern world. How do you become informed about our world and people we care about far away without computer tech?. The better solution is free software we control and better ways to fund developers and journalists.

I was thinking about a longer time horizon, after Stalin. Eventually reformers start piping up, as they did in USSR and China. I compare and contrast the effect of the US relationship had on China and the Soviet Union.

I hear you on Stalin's crimes. However, we took a very different approach to our colonial power allies. Like Stalin, Churchill too oversaw mass famine in the colonies.
This algorithm (by far the fastest union-find algorithm, in practice) was almost forgotten.

Eventually found in 2010 by Mostofa Ali Patwary et al., Rem's algorithm was buried in Chapter 23 of Dijkstra's book "A Discipline of Programming":

We present a simplified and more efficient variation on the algorithm. To fix the bug, replace the second

return i1

with

return i2

in the Find method.
I've worked tech jobs, bio lab jobs, warehouse jobs, call centre jobs, and been unemployable for long stretches while depressed.

Working manual labour jobs is deeply humbling and in my opinion actually builds solidarity with the working class in ways you simply can't by intellectualizing from afar. If more people in privileged positions did this, I believe the world might be better.

Your judgement doesn't feel helpful.
That particular case is even more removed from push ads - it's something that you'd normally go and search for, not sit around and wait until the right ad shows up.

To me the issue is why learn a different language for scripting? Python is the obvious replacement, but even Java write scripts in, I'm pretty sure any major language can compile and run easily.

I just want to mention that the C++ code running UO was incredibly fast at what it did, and it even wrapped a custom scripting language called Wombat that ran all the gameplay logic.

Pretty sure Jason Spangler, genius, made a JIT compiler in LLVM for Wombat just to see how much code we could execute in each 250ms tick.

During one of my live events I got 500 people on-screen (in what, an 800x600 pixel screen?) thanks to how efficient the networking, gameplay, and client rendering code had become.

Well. Then the telestorming began because I forgot to disable it…

That's up to the author. Nobody is forcing them to use a publisher. Making a bad business decision might be bad for the author, but as long as everyone is playing fair (e.g. no fraud or coercion) its not a problem for society.

I'm also a bit unclear how those numbers compare per year vs per the entire life time of the book, which seems like an important distinction.

However i imagine lots of people go with a publisher in the hopes that their book is a hit. In which case the publisher comes in handy. But you dont know beforehand if you are going to win the book lottery so you have to balance the probabilities.
The feeling should be that they deserve more, not that you deserve less. It's not that you're an imposter, it's that they need to be "discovered" and given more. Or they should go make different choices if they want. Nonetheless, while they "give up" some things, they gain other things with their choices, which you don't have. For example, they might have clear work hours, they might not take work home mentally, they might have more time with the family, etc.

Except in a few very rare cases, we don't really have that in the US. In the US, the job of the pharmacist is mostly to deny patients their prescription medicine on an insurance companies behalf, or to deny a handful of the most vulnerable patients their prescription medicine because of personally-held extremist political beliefs.

Common Lisp has generic functions, as you saw. Readers, writers, and/or accessors to classes are generic. So no issue with naming collisions.

(defclass a ()
((value :reader value)
(next :reader next)))

(defclass b ()
((value :reader value)
(next :reader next)))

This is totally valid; I can call VALUE and NEXT on instances of both A and B just fine.

But, if generic functions aren't your thing, you can skip calling the functions even and just do

(slot-value x 'next)

if you really want. This is basically

x->next

Again, works for any object with a field named by the symbol "next". But it's idiomatic to just call the reader function you defined, since getters can be instrumented, debugged, traced, etc. Some people prefer to call the reader A-NEXT or B-NEXT, but it's not necessary.

Regardless of all of that, symbols themselves belong to a namespace, called the "package". So your "edit" and my "edit" methods can have a different number of arguments without issue. (If they do have different arguments, they must mean different things.)
...it is more fundamental.

It's Moloch - the optimization for one criterion (https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/07/30/meditations-on-moloch/) on the grandest scale. It's attention in the "attention economy", but attention is just signal for revenue opportunity, which is profit extraction aka the optimizing measure for Capitalism.

Too be clear, I am not even against Capitalism. Its been a powerful tool for driving market economies, and in conjunction with social justice it has risen all boats. The problem now is that it's been eroding foundational societal elements that make contemporary society (and Capitalism itself) possible in the first place... like attention, science, community, political sense-making, and more.
