I struggle with this as an instructor. There was a study that showed that students of low-rated instructors had better 10-year outcomes.

Clearly that doesn't mean you should be a crap instructor, but there's something to be said for a measure of student unhappiness.

And it makes sense; students who had to work harder with minimal support built up better mental models along the way as they struggled through it.

At the same time, sometimes being there to say a magic word or make an non-obvious connection is also really beneficial even if the student didn't have to work hard for it.

Part of me also feels that CS (my subject) doesn't _need_ to be impossibly hard, that a good instructor tunes the material like a spinning instructor so that it's a challenging uphill climb when it should be, and easy when it should be.

A student still has to work, but not so impossibly hard that they're destroyed.

To get to the top of the mountain, the three options are hike straight up, take the switchbacks, or take the gondola.

Straight up weeds out folks for sure. Only the best ones make it.

The gondola, well, they learn nothing.

I'm a fan of the guided switchbacks. I can make it steep when I want, and chill when I want. And hopefully tune that in a way that gets more people jobs at the end of the day.

Difficult is important when it comes to learning. But there can be too much of a good thing.

A trend I've seen on HN over past few years is that people love showing off how they are able to save money by spending more of their own time, especially on infra/cloud things - if you calculate your own hourly rate correctly, it's oftentimes more costly to DIY than outsourcing to experts (e.g., managed cloud).
Trains aren’t traveling at 400-700 mph ground speed. At best they might be doing 225mph. The rate you pass by towers is thus lower.

Trains also have trees, hills, buildings, earth curvature, etc obstructing how many towers your phone can see. Planes generally have a clear LOS to the tower over a significantly larger area because of the altitude.

If the radiation pattern of the tower wasn’t the shape that it is, the problem would be even worse in fact.

Woah, the brocade switches might be a very good option. I don't mind it being loud, since my server rack is in a well insulated part of my basement and have had no noise issues even with a couple 2U servers. Thanks for the suggestion!

So I know that doesn't do anything. I bet if I put one of these in airplane mode, I've won enough RF budget for everyone to have Airtags on

> New strategies are discovered

I highly doubt it. In Sudoku, it is either logically deducible that a particular value is to be placed into a given square. Or else it isn't; one can deduce that one of several values can be placed there, after all other exploration elsewhere has been exhausted.

Deducing what can be placed into what square is a simple elimination. If the square is in a row that already has 7, 7 cannot be placed there. If it's in a 3x3 square that has 5, 5 cannot be placed there. If it's in a column that has 4, 4 cannot be placed there. For every square of the Sudoku board, we can do this evaluation. We hit upon a square where all values are eliminated but one, and so that one is confirmed. Based on that confirmation, we can update the other eliminations and keep going. When this process cannot continue, there is no choice but to guess. OK, here we can have a 7 or a 4, and so it goes.

I don't see how you can pretend to have some strategies here, let alone ones with pet names and all.

People have different systems for tracking the information, to be sure.

Every company has a frontend team, and all of those frontend folks want to get promoted. Building an in-house component library is a straightforward card to play.

It's basically the natural outcome of reasonable people responding in reasonable ways to seemingly-reasonable incentive structures.

(I do agree there's probably a more efficient way, but I think it might also be one of those slippery-slope situations where there's a lot of gravity pulling sufficiently-large teams to eventually have their own component library. In other words: Suppose they start off with the best of intentions and repurpose an existing library. Then come the inevitable months of customization, forking, racing to integrate upstream updates, etc. Finally, someone pipes up and says, "Hey, why don't we build our own so we can control our own destiny?" Stakeholders get excited, and then it's off to the races.)
I had a 2011 i5 Mac mini sitting in the closet after it stopped getting OS updates. By 2018 I figured it was long in the tooth even though I'd added more RAM and swapped the hard drive for an SSD. I pulled it out one day not too long ago, wiped the drive, and installed elementary OS and was surprised at how well it ran. I almost regret buying a new daily driver since the speed difference is barely noticable.

I actually think part of the benefit of AirTags for Apple is to help build vendor lock-in. Say you own 5-10 airtags over time. If you switch to a phone like Samsung you essentially are giving all those tags up, or you have to keep that old iPhone accessible for when you lose things if you want to keep using them. Of course, that alone may not be a big deal, but if you also own other Apple products that lock-in effect gets even greater. Almost everyone I knows is aware of Airtags, and most own them. I even know multiple people who have used them successfully to recover/find lost items. This kind of value while it may look small on a budget sheet, is huge in the lock-in and consumer loyalty for Apple.

I bet my coworker who recovered their stolen bike via an Airtag is now much less likely to consider leaving Apple for example.
Went through this recently as AT&T Fiber began offering 5Gbps service to my apartment in San Francisco. Luckily, the apartment building (seemingly) ran CAT 6 through the walls, but the AT&T modem only has one 5GbE port, so a switch is required to distribute it (plus in any room that needs multiple ports).

I ended up ordering two TP-Link TL-SX105 10GbE switches and one TRENDnet TEG-S350 2.5GbE switch for my TV/gaming consoles. The TP-Link switches have been great and I get 4-5Gbps consistently, but they only have five ports, which is expensive for the price. I assume the TRENDnet one is fine, but it's not connected to anything that I can test with.

I also got a Sonnet SOLO10G-TB3 to connect my laptop to 10GbE.

Lufthansa gave a non-answer, and there's nothing in their comment suggesting they've banned airtags in checked luggage. They will also have an impossible time enforcing it.

The site "covering this" is focused on creating travel content to push credit card affiliate links. They (like most) benefit from clickbait articles that will get picked up around the web, giving them backlinks to improve SEO ranking for a competitive niche.

The town limits here codify setbacks from boundaries for building, maximum height for building, bans on buildup of flammable materials (overgrown dead trees | waist high dead garden grasss), storage of toxic waste (tire dumps, etc) .. and that's pretty much it.

Nothing on paint colour, lawns (required or not | having vehicles on them | etc), licenced vehicle disposition etc.

Most people are house proud, a number of people have very different aesthetic fromn others, some places are clearly butt ugly but that's largely their business.

Town only steps in if something is a rat infested hoarders paradise that might catch alight and belch toxic fumes at an second.

The super intrusive home owners association is largely not a problem here (but it's creeping in to the chagrin of many).

I'm still mystified by your dislike for parking vehicles on lawns, it's not great for the lawn but having neighbours that do this overnight every few days (so they can get spare car from the back, etc) I really cannot see the issue - their lawn is fine and I don't get a queasy feeling looking at it.

This one, like the others, also includes other reports of the same issue in the comments.

Hope to see Google acknowledge this before too long.
Great to see price competition in 2.5GbE equipment. Seems like a lot of folks are getting AT&T fiber lately and discovering that anything that deals with anything over 1 Gbps is much pricier or even impossible to find even in prosumer spaces.
Why should our time keeping on Earth have anything to do with the moon?
This is getting a bit out of the scope of HN but... here goes nothing. Firstly, Jews =/= Israel! I have never been to Israel and do not plan on ever going. Nor do I support their actions/government. Secondly, the United States and other governments do not protect Israel for Christian fundamentalist reasons. While republicans would like you to believe they support Israel so that Jesus can return to Earth or whatever shit they believe the truth is that they are simply preserving hegemony in an oil rich region that lines their owners pockets. Second of all, Christian imperialism is clearly a much bigger concept than Roman imperialism. Countless nations have utilized Christian fundamentalism as a excuse to colonize people all over the world and commit atrocities. Yes the romans spread the gregorian calendar but it was created for and named after Pope Gregory XIII. The calendar clearly has far more to do with Christianity than the Roman empire. I mean the entire thing is built around the death of Christ. None of this is to say that Jews have not committed sins or carried out horrible acts in the name of their religion, however, unlike most religions proselytizing is a feature (not a bug) of Christianity. The Gregorian calendar has clearly been used as a tool to achieve this goal. Lastly, I aim to look forward and not backwards in life. We cannot change the past but we can question our present structures and hierarchies. By switching to the Jewish calendar I do not aim to convert others to Judaism, I simply am trying to reconnect to my all too often forgotten roots.

The X100 line has a fixed lens, it does not swap out. It’s a bit of a larger, fancier point and shoot that does not zoom. They look really nice and I’ve always wanted one!

I have an X-T2 and have started a collection of lenses. The 56mm F1.2 is a bokeh monster with the autofocus speed of a slug! But when it hits it is beautiful. They just came out with a new version of the 56mm lens that might do better in Auto Focus, and they are up to the X-T4 which has a bunch of features that are nicer too, like IBIS.

Note that the Fuji cameras are unique in that they use a custom colour filter, not a Bayer filter on the sensor. This can affect the RAW processing depending on how you might want to do it. Honestly I got into Fuji cause a friend shot with it, lent me the body when he was out of country for a while, then I just got used to it and that was that. The XT line has more dials than a lot of other makes, some people like that.

I’ve decided on suggesting this to people who ask what camera they should get:

1. Pick your budget first

2. Pick the type (point and shoot, mirrorless interchangeable lens)

3. Go to a camera store and pick up some of the models you might be interested in. See what you like the feel of and the interface of. Between all the big companies, you can’t really go wrong.

4. Don’t go all out on the body (go used!) and get nicer lenses. Once you pick a make with a certain mount, you can have the lenses for life and upgrade the body as you go along. Try 2 lenses to start a prime portrait lens and a zoom in the normal to telephoto range to be able to be a bit away from your kids but still get a tight shot.

You can take a look at my Flickr account and see that a lot of the pictures up there are with a Nikon D40 and a $200 prime lens. In good light, it still takes fine pictures! My son and daughter now runs around with it and get some great shots from their POV.

Please get your facts correct.

Google does not whine about GPLv3. Google ships GPLv3 licensed code. Google doesn't allow AGPL code, but that is a different license.

Apple, however, will not ship GPLv3 code.

This is in fact the real reason that we still have the airplane mode restriction.

A phone at cruising altitude can see and try to connect to a huge number of cell towers at once. Like, orders of magnitude more towers than it would be able to see even from the top of a mountain. Plus, you're constantly disconnecting from some towers and connecting to new ones. This puts a strain on the cell network systems.

One person won't have a negative impact but then you multiply the problem by the number of people who fly daily.
That's the ego of software developers speaking. The presumption that there's a strict hierarchy of competence based on what company you've worked at is a dumb and arrogant idea imo. Sure you might've passed a tough interview test, but you're doing CRUD that every else does, so putting devs onto that ladder is silly especially when the interview does not reflect how well one does at the job/getting results, with all it's variances and challenges.

Roman Imperialism that was peddling Christian Imperialism. Let us not forget that the calendar was made for and named after Pope Gregory XIII and the years are structured around the death of Christ. Naming the weeks after pagan gods (in my opinion) was a similar act to moving Christmas to fall on Saturnalia. The purpose being to appease pagans and slowly convert them to Christianity.
AlphaGo had a lot of driver code involved to make it tick, it wasn't just a big network deciding what to do. You would need something similar here, without someone figuring out that driver code you aren't revolutionizing anything with todays neural networks.

Both lithium-ion and lithium metal batteries that are installed in devices are allowed in checked baggage in the US and most other places. The devices must be powered off. What that means is a bit ambiguous as most modern laptops, tablets, and phones have some components powered any time a battery is installed.

Thanks! I’m of two minds about this.

The previous commenter is probably correct in one sense. Whatever version of React I was working with in 2017 is surely unsupported now and lol-nobody-uses-that-anymore-grandpa. And maybe everyone works with NextJS or Vue or Svelte or NewerJS.

But, at the same time, I’ve been programming long enough to understand that experience with a particular framework isn’t specifically valuable. The ability to learn and understand how software works and then help build/improve it is valuable and transferable.

Also, perhaps my least favorite part of web development is the ”everything is an app now” shift that happened however many years ago.

I kind of just maybe want a job writing high quality, accessible, rigorous html and css? Is that a thing? Jobs for companies that leverage static site generators maybe?

Hacking this thread to ask a questino about videogames/copyrights/trademarks.

I've been working on a videogame (one player, on the browser) based on a very popular IP (let's say Star Wars, but it is not Star Wars). I have very good relationship with the IP owners / lawyers, and I even asked them permission to create the videogame. This was their response:

> Whilst we value your support as a [REDACTED], your question touches on many complicated intellectual property issues and, as a result and as you probably aware, we typically don’t give advice or permission except to say that we object to any unauthorized use of our IP, as well as to any use that casts the works in a negative light, or that falsely implies an endorsement by or association with us. We therefore recommend that you do not proceed with your project.

However, months have passed since this response and I am still very interested in proceed with the game (developing the game is very fun, and I am sure fans would love it). But I don't want to spend months on it and having it down as soon as I release it (and break my relationship with them).

What would be a good movement at this point? Ask for the price for the rights? I guess it would be in hundred thousands of dollars?

Just to clarify, I am not expecting any profits from this game: I'd release it as a free-to-play, no ads, in browser game.
> China…should the US simply supply them with MRNA vaccines?

They would have to ask for them and they’re not going to ask. They’ve spent years spreading propaganda that states the mRNA vaccines change your DNA, don’t work, that their domestic vaccines work amazingly, etc. It’s difficult to turn around from that and order a few billion doses.

Well it depends on what the end goal is for the international organizations like the UN. Is it for there to be a single government to ensure no more nationalistic conflict? If so I can think of quite a few arguments against that. And if that's not the goal then what is it, specifically?
Great comment. Something I hadn’t considered. So a question might be, how much data is touch and spatial reasoning?
At the very least, you should file a police report and a complaint with DoT.
The Gregorian calendar was a relatively light modification to the Julian Calendar, created by Julius Ceasar, who predates both Christian Rome and Christianity as a whole. The Gregorian calendar is very much a Roman calendar, with a slight astronomically-inclined update by Gregory to fix leap year drift, 1500 years after Caesar introduced it.

That the years are structured around the death of Christ... Eh? Hard to say. I believe that was retro-fitted, and probably was more centered around Augustus's rise to power and Rome moving from a republic to an empire. Or maybe not, I haven't read the relevant wikipedia page for that.
