Isn't an early weed-out a service to the students? The school could pass through 100% of their premed students, taking their money for all four years of their undergrad only for most of their premeds to get weeded when they apply to medical schools. If instead they get weeded a few years earlier, they still have time to change their major and go for an undergrad degree that will suit them better. Some may choose to drop out completely when they get weeded out of premed, and the school will lose tuition money from those.

But what cynical advantage does the school gain from weeding out premeds? Besides tough love for the students who won't cut the mustard, what is their motivation for weeding out premeds?

Show HN: Zebra – Social Feed Reader
I build zebra - a cross-over of rss feed reader and micro publishing service. The idea is to make following rss feeds a much more seamless experience and and deeply integrate with a set of social media features.

I would call it a community around everyone's media diet and want to create a place for exchange around daily updates about all kinds of topics people are interested in. Making users micro-columnists in their personal newsroom.

Essentially you can like and comment on everything you see. zebra tries to enrich rss contents as much as possible and has different representations for the types of sources (forums, articles, blog posts, etc.). It's completely written in flutter and has it's own nodejs backend to collect and serve both feeds and community contents.

I'd love to hear all kinds of questions, feedback and will soon release zebra officially on Android Play store after leaving open testing. Publishing an iOS version would be easy, it's just, that i currently lack the necessary hardware.
>>Attracting more students also boosts tuition income, but having 350 students in a chemistry class can tend to limit student satisfaction, which may have been a factor in the complaints.

Right, so the ratio of [professors]:[students] is already too low, so fire the professor. Brilliant
A few years ago I decided I wanted to buy one of his limited prints with some extra money I was to earn. Then I pushed it off for a bit due to a few poor excuses, and eventually forgot about it.

And now his prints are of course ... out of print.

I'm not saying I need a numbered and signed limited print like The Tigers New Clothes [1] but it would be nice with maybe just a regularly, unsigned, unnumbered poster on my wall.

Are there any for sale?

To be honest these feel like excuses to avoid structure. Keeping things consistent is something that require dedication and explicit effort. Just saying "everyone just do logging in their preferred format" seems the easiest way.
Structured logging gives you lots of benefits. You monitoring will just work out of the box if you keep to the standard. Additional logs won't arbitrarily come up within your system with no anticipation. I'm not saying it will never happen, but you have control over it.
Here it is:

a='print("""class q{public static void main(String[]a){System.out.println("a=#;a[35.chr]=39.chr+a.gsub(34.chr,92.chr*3+34.chr)+39.chr;puts a");}}""")';a[35.chr]=39.chr+a.gsub(34.chr,92.chr*3+34.chr)+39.chr;puts a

Run with `ruby q.rb | python - > q.java && javac q.java && java q`. Pretty sure that you can shorten this, I didn't take much time to do that.
KJG was diagnosed with T2D years ago.
Where I live drivers make over 100k, and require many certifications, but that does not mean it is skilled labor.

Skilled labor usually refers to individuals who work in jobs that require experience, and education, like college degrees and advanced degrees, and who are highly trained professionals in a specific field.

This is in contrast to driving a bus, where anyone can walk in off the street, go through 1 to 2 weeks of training, and then pass a certification or licensing test
"The adhesive keeping the LCD layers came off, creating a diagonal striped clouding pattern."

Oh, is THAT what that is. I have an ancient laptop where the screen is failing that way. Was trying to figure out what on Earth could produce perfectly diagonal streaks in an LCD! Though I'm still not quite sure how that connects; is the tape oriented diagonally?
I'd be perfectly happy if the answer to TFA's question was "nothing". Zig has the minimalism of something like C89 or Lua. It has a syntax like C. It has compile time execution (as per TFA) like all sorts of languages mentioned in the comments. Etc. There isn't really anything particularly unique about it. Who cares? It feels to me like zig is an example of something that is greater than the sum of its parts.

Really the only thing I don't think I've ever seen before is how zig passes around memory allocators. And that's probably because I'm not a systems programmer by trade, so I'm less familiar with that sort of thing.
It's such an easy trap to fall into because it doesn't feel like avoidance out of fear, but it almost certainly is.

One of my mantras lately has been, "If it doesn't make me at least a little uncomfortable, I'm probably avoiding something."
Why just social media? Why not a notice before Fox and Friends, Tucker Carlson, Maddow, and John Oliver? Are they not biased curators?

Why should “traditional media” get a pass?

Do “journalistic style standards” defined by a minority not result in curated exposure?

The language being used is so vague it could apply more broadly than just TikTok.

Why do east coasters get to broadcast to west coasters? Why is someone else curating my media exposure at all, claiming my attention; ah right they’re all ad platforms. All content must as broadly acceptable as possible to expose ads as broadly as possible. Gamble on their success soaking up our attention.

It’s my hope AI content ends this silly semantics game. It may cost TV influencers and TikTok influencers but they’re all repetitive shallow attention seekers anyway.

What is meant by "can't complete"?

Are we saying "can't do it in an interview without access to some resources", "can't do it in the amount of time I'm willing to learn the language", or truly a "I could never do this even if I dedicated time to it and had standard resources to work with"?

For me, I 'can't' do the first one even in languages I commonly use as I almost never write the code for the initial entry point. Either I'm working on an existing project of the IDE generates it and I never look closely at it so I'll likely mess something up.

If it is the second, it is more a of an 'I won't' do it in some languages. I don't doubt my ability to do it, I just don't have plans on learning many of these languages. I'll read an article on how BF works, but I don't plan to spend more time on it than that.

If it is the third option, then I'm quite bothered by level of defeatism in it and would be surprised by a programmer saying it. It is something I hear from people who took a coding class, barely passed, and decided not to touch the topic again. Even then I would challenge those people as having the ability to do it but having (entirely valid) reasons not to spend time on the attempt. (I make such a challenge because I think it is beneficial for people to not put themselves down and to draw a distinction between something they can't do and something they do have the power to do but don't have enough reason to do.)
I mean it’s literally true the comment is ageist, it’s transparently and shamelessly ageist.

What the fuck is this insane notion being pushed in this thread? How does having your account suspended protect you? It's probably the primary way that he can get his story out or at the very least let people know that he's alright. Authorities almost certainly have all of the relevant data that has been expunged from the public's view already. And even if they don't, it's on archive.org

Some next level doublethink going on in this thread.
It's not one big pile of money. Business expenditures are treated differently depending on what you spend it on.

My loose understanding is that capex (e.g. hardware) and opex (e.g. salary) are treated differently in a lot of ways. Some of it is taxes, there are deductions available for opex that don't apply to capex, at least in the US. Also, you can cut your expenses on opex to balance your budget (e.g. layoffs), but it's harder to recoup the sunk cost on capex.

Cloud desktops turn some capex into opex. Depending on how many employees you have, it can be a sizeable chunk of change.

I still think it's only worth it in specific edge cases, though.

> The USA is home to the vast majority of leading universities, and no amount of PISA score dominance by Chinese children can change that.

Those leadership placements are measured primarily by academic standards, and particularly research output. In CS, over 60% of PhD students -- the food soldiers of academia -- are here on student visas. Another huge fraction are first gen residents/citizens. I'd guess fewer than 20% of CS PhD students in the US are > 1st gen. Again, those are the people doing the actual work.

> If anything, China should be worried about the continuous brain drain of their best, brightest, and most of all wealthiest to Canada and the USA.

If we get to the point where the USA depends on Chinese out migration in order to compete economically or militarily with China, China may well choose to turn off the spigot. We should welcome immigration but also need home grown talent.

There's also a serious moral issue with the "depend on immigration" path -- we owe it to our citizens to provide them with opportunities.

In another study, family members of research subjects provided the experimenters with childhood photos of the subjects, and the experimenters photoshopped one image into a hot air balloon ride. [1]

Over the course of a few interviews where the subjects tried to recall memories related to the photos, half of the participants developed clear, or partially clear, false memories of the hot air balloon, despite it never having happened, and adding invented details that they truly believed. When the photos were revealed to be faked, many of them were flabbergasted, having convinced themselves that it had happened.

It's worth remembering what the long-term solutions to these types of issues are.

For Facebook: decentralized social networks built on open protocols.

Yes there are tradeoffs. I'm personally happy to make them.
I volunteer tutor teens in the SAT and the problem is a bit deeper than just parents. A few of my students have a similar amount of base intelligence as me, and if they studied as much as I did, they would have no problem with finding a path of least resistance to the upper-middle/lower-upper class. The problem is that even if I'm 100% sure this path exists, they are skeptical because it seems like I'm in a entirely different world from them, so I'm not different than an MLM influencer promising them $10k a week. I knew a lot of people who spent all their time studying and on extracurriculars, but the same isn't true for my students. It would require a Herculean amount of self-discipline to commit yourself to that much work when no one else you know is taking the same path.

I'm not sure it's called for to compare GP to a "Holocaust denier". This Wikipedia article is informative:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deaths_due_to_the_Chernobyl_di...

According to the article, there are 60 agreed-upon long term deaths from Chernobyl. But there is a debate about how to measure long-term deaths, with some claiming figures into the tens of thousands. The nuances of the debate are covered in the article.

So I think GP's point is fair, because even at the highest figure of 60,000, that is far lower than the millions per year from fossil fuels. This article estimates that fossil fuels cause 1 in 5 deaths worldwide:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fossil_fuel#Illness_and_deaths

That doesn't take away from the tragedy that you and your family experienced, which is something that should always be considered in these debates.
It's not about doing it well versus poorly, it's about the motivation behind it.

If you're building a complex organizational system because it absorbs your time and enables you to avoid confronting the fear of making artistic choices and putting something out into the world, it's not helping.

If you're building a complex organization system because you need it to build the thing you want to put out there, by all means go for it.

It takes a lot of introspection to be able to distinguish these two cases.
Because all the cost must be paid upfront, and takes 10+ years before the first GWh gets out. So, it does not fit well with private investors.

The cost of the electricity exiting a nuclear reactor is directly related to the cost of money (interest) to build the reactor. The reason is because it is cheap to run the reactor once built.

So, the cheaper the money is the cheaper the electricity is.

That is why it is not interesting for private investors.

It has to be financed by state to minimize the final cost if electricity at the end.

Modern tankers are actually multirole aircraft which can carry small amounts of cargo and/or personnel when necessary. This makes operations more flexible. With something like a KC-46 the entire fuselage including the cargo area is pressurized.
Yeah, I really expected to see a 10x camera like the S22 Ultra, but I guess they don't like being competitive. Oh well.
A380s are probably too big TBH. IIRC their size and weight limits where they can operate because not all runways can support them. Also fuel is fairly heavy and dense, so tankers are more limited by weight than volume. The classic KC-135 tanker for example can carry around 175,000 lbs of fuel, but the main part of the fuselage is basically empty: https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-2638cc62527bd387b0a38...

Interesting.

There was quite a significant difference between my IQ results and my standardized testing scores (based on percentile rankings -- IQ => higher rankings).

(FWIW, I think both test are utter horseshit anyway.)
I keep hearing this, and I don't doubt that statistically access to test prep helps, but amongst all the tests I've seen, the SAT is still the easiest to do well in if you're willing to self study.

I got in the elite range simply by buying SAT prep books. I memorized the vocabulary, and the book had enough tricks for me to do well.

Granted, I always excelled in math in school. I, however, did not excel in English (my 10th grade score was a well deserved C). But I still did great on the verbal section, and it was primarily due to reading 1-2 SAT prep books.

If you think you're going to start prepping 1-2 months before the test and do well, it won't work. For both the SAT and the GRE I started about 12 months prior (but very low intensity - a few minutes a day). I did even better in the GRE, scoring well in the top 1% nationally.

If you treat the SAT as a possible golden ticket for your future, you'll take it seriously and start prepping early. If it's merely a "Meh, that thing I need to do to get into a college", no amount of prep will help.
If they can type out any linux command, it should be no problem for them to hit a few buttons in windows.
We removed "Sign in with Facebook" from our public learning management system (we provide content to the public) instead of continuing to jump through their insane requests and demands.
So, you expect the exact same results next year? If the same students all retook the SAT with different questions would we get the exact same breakdown +/-0.3%? I doubt it. These data are for this specific measurement and must be tempered in their extrapolation into other areas. I don’t think you can declare them significant.

For me it was the camera + price combo. The Samsung cameras are probably better on the flagship phones but the prices for those phones are insane. iPhone price is obviously even worse and I really don't like the camera and how iPhone applies edits automatically, even to the RAW files.

Course evaluation scores are always significantly worse for courses that students have to take than for courses that students take on their own volition. Service courses (i.e., courses that are prerequisites for a different department) get the worst ratings. Any good department knows to account for this skew when it judges lecturers.
Howard Goodall's Big Bangs: Piano
It matters to what degree you are applying too. The average SAT score will vary by school (I think the School of Engineering is the highest and the College of Natural Sciences the second) and by major. UT has a top 10 CS program and will only accept a certain number of out-of-state residents. We would have to know the academic achievements of the out-of-state residents applying to the CS program to say if anything funny is going on here.
It is more crazy if you remember when they bought whatssapp it was less than 20 employees supporting a billion user.

And the app doesn't look like it changed that much since it started being supported by 10,000 employees (guessing).
Seems to me most people reckon the students did bad because of a pandemic and that ochem isn’t actually all that relevant in practical medicine. I think the students reputation would have been far more harmed by failing out.

If anything has suffered a reputation hit from this story it’s organic chemistry professors in general who are broadly being portrayed in threads like these as sadists who care more about failing out future doctors than teaching them practical know-how who slid into standard medical education through an accident of history despite ochem perhaps being more appropriate as an elective topic.
Both can be true.

Never understood the appeal of squash commits at merge time, assuming the PR contains atomic, logical commits (all bets are off if your team's PR process accepts ad hoc commits..). You lose the utility of git bisect, conventional commits, etc, and also have larger, noisier commits forming your history/documentation. Is there a benefit to squash commits other than allowing developers to forget about that as they work? I may be biased against squash commits as I have spent enough time diving through garbage commit history to figure out bugs/Chesterton's fence that good commits as documentation appeals to me.
