What I'd have loved to be taught is basic financial skills, as you said. But you need to cram that into an already crammed schedule that overworks children for diminishing returns (I found school miserable) and the math taught in my (first-world, very rich) country is already too basic IMO.

Maybe as a one-hour-a-week high school course. The "economics" taught there were so basic and incomplete as to be useless.
I feel Python changes and have changed too much to be a good introduction language anymore.

It is not possible for a from zero beginner to read ordinary Python code with decorators, generators or what not and understand it.

Way too many concepts.

The solution is what they chose before Schroeder sold out to gazprom and cancelled most of it: maintaining the existing nuclear fleet while building out renewables as fast as possible.
What bothers me is the lack of middle ground. Art that is aesthetically compelling but also has meaning.

It feels like most of what I see is meaningless "motel art" or unaesthetic museum art (think of the artists who do things like bolting a urinal to a wall or abstract art that's basically a blank canvas with some lines).

I'm not saying that there isn't a place for avant garde art. I just think that the art community has lost its way in focusing on it almost exclusively.

If you want it straight from the horse's mouth, the National Health Commission publishes daily updates on their website: http://www.nhc.gov.cn/wjw/xinw/xwzx.shtml E.g. the statistics for 2022-11-25 are at http://www.nhc.gov.cn/xcs/yqtb/202211/b741658e3325404ea22e74...

As you can see, they actually publish a bunch of different numbers. New symptomatic cases on the mainland are listed first, but different sources may decide to include asymptomatic cases or cases reported by Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan (which then runs into problems e.g. because Taiwan stopped publishing the number of people discharged from hospital a year ago, so that figure has been stuck at 13742 since then). And of course different sources may disagree about the meaning of "yesterday".

If you want visualizations, https://news.sina.cn/zt_d/yiqing0121 basically shows the numbers from the report.
It is not PG, it is your sneering and arrogant attitude that attracts downvotes.

I haven't downvoted you, but if I did, it would be for the tone of your comments alone. I don't care about PG one way or another, but I am sick of the total level of glibness on the Internet, and while I gave up on mainstream social media, I would prefer HN to stay a little bit friendlier and less toxic than Twitter or Reddit.

The short and true answer is that if I would know for sure I could not write about here. Hence all of this is speculation.

Very likely they would use the best motion isolation money can buy. Also the submarine is quite slow (especially at navigation speeds) so the terrain changes under it slowly. Water currents and the motion of people and machinary happens at much higher rate, so you can probably try to eliminate the quick changes and keep the slower changes with filtering and statistics.

Getting good AI art requires finding the right prompt and sorting through potentially hundreds of pictures. Picking out the one that embodies your idea (or sometimes the one that stands out among the rest that you would never have expected from that input prompt) is the way you turn AI output into art.
Incredible work! I'm writing my own book (obligatory mailing list link [0] and description [1]) and I wondered how you tackled the mental side? It is a bit of a rollercoaster I am finding. That constant fear gnawing in the back of your head 'is this really any good at all?' :) I suppose it is the price of caring.

It’s up to your leftist friends to define their in-group. Not me! Sounds like the in group is queer people, BLM people and so on.

There’s lots of people the modern “woke” left in the USA doesn’t seem to care about: poor people, people with low IQ, white people in conservative areas, people who live in non-western aligned countries, homeless people, men who have male specific problems, and so on.

For example, a white male friend of mine is utterly crippled by trauma from his absentee dad. He doesn’t feel like anyone in his broader community cares about him and his problems at all.

For a group that talks a lot about compassion, I’m frequently disappointed by how little love I actually see coming from the modern left.

> so many interoperability issues [...] the protocol is either too complicated or not robust enough

From what I've read, it sounds like the interoperability issues come from not implementing AP the same way as Mastodon rather than anything specifically protocol-related. Hence, e.g., Pleroma going out of its way to be Mastodon compatible as a design goal and GoToSocial having lots of issues because it hasn't yet gone that route[1]

[1] e.g. they have an issue where some client apps don't work with GTS because GTS doesn't advertise a version number sufficiently high enough - because the apps are looking for "v > 2.10 because that's when Mastodon introduced feature Z".

Probably because taking down hijab is symbol and first thing to do when there are protests against muslim religious dictatorships.

It is also a thing ex Muslim women complains about a lot. It is a thing that systematically and repeatedly ceases to be worn the moment you remove violence and threats from the equation.

Muslim states including Saudi Arabia exert considerable violence against women disagreeing with these laws. They would not needed the violence if it was all voluntary.

MicroPython or CircuitPython have become better entry points than the full language.

Python grew up and has been chosen to solve a lot of complex, important problems. This has lead to the language ballooning to become not just good but excellent for those problems (data science). Some of it might be fluff; much of it might not be relevant to your style or problem space.

Any sane home router should make it Just Work. All the router has to do is advertise which address prefix your ISP gave you, and your device just chooses an address under that prefix. It couldn't really be simpler - even DHCP is more complex.

However, it only handles your address. Apparently there's an extension to make it also provide DNS addresses and so on. If you don't have that, then I guess you configure DNS manually. Or use 8.8.8.8.

It's not like your router is doing some magic DNS auto-discovery, by the way. It just tells devices the addresses that someone typed into its own configuration page.
> Good point about Java, even though talking to KVMs over the network and displaying a GUI isn't really hardware stuff.

If it's over the network (using IP sockets), Java can do it just fine and what I wrote about downwards compatibility applies. Same if it's a Swing GUI, which is part of the standard API. Admittedly, Swing is the area where I once witnessed a real bug caused by version incompatibility; IIRC code made some assumptions about undocumented behaviour in event handling, which caused an endless loop on a newer JVM.

As for portable C, I have very limited experience really working with C, but remember trying to get some tarballs to compile and having big problems with fragile autoconf scripts.

Prior to writing my first book, I already published quite a lot of articles, so I knew that there was some non-empty audience set out there :)

I started a crowdfunding project for the first book too, so that the printing and typesetting costs get covered. They were covered fully, so I knew that I won't dip into red numbers as a consequence. (This was a major worry of mine.)

I was still pretty nervous about acceptance, but it turned out OK. Whew.

That’s a good point: The use of general-purpose tools like Excel is by essence non-GDPR compliant, since there is no way to mark a column as “person” and therefore attach it to that person’s rights.

Therefore, all corporate tools must be specific for one purpose when managing PII, and no tool should allow free-text fields. Excel, Access, notepads shouldn’t exist in companies.

NVME storage really is very fast for sequential reads, but I'd respectfully suggest that for simple tasks a Dell laptop with 1.6GB/s read speed should be bottlenecked by IO if the compute is optimised. For example SIMD-json can parse json at over 7GB/s. https://simdjson.org/

The SWIFT network has been used that way against Iran in 2012 though. These sanctions have been lifted in 2016 and this usage has probably disappeared from popular awareness because of that.
I enjoy how defensive Rust fans are over their language, it's fun to poke at in my spare time. First of all, Rust is a great language with great ideas in my opinion, but not really fit for systems programming unless you mean on top of an OS like cd grep etc. I think most Rust fans have never written an embedded project or dabbled in lower level code so they assume that it's just perfect for low level.

First you have to work around things like direct memory access, writing a "safe" wrapper around direct memory access doesn't really take it from unsafe to safe and you have to fight the language to do the things you have to do when doing kernel work. Then you have to deal with badly optimized output of the compiler which is fine in an user space program but a no-go in a kernel or even worse on embedded. I know some might say "well you aren't supposed to do that, you need X safety measure" but the hardware doesn't work like that, if you try to apply those concepts to out-of-order execution for example you will incur a heavy performance cost.

tl;dr Rust fanboys should read some kernel device driver code and lower level code before giving their input

to simplify what's wrong with mathematics education. I have been trying to go back and re-take so to speak, everything from basic algebra onwards. It struck me that my mental math chops were appalling. I've stumbled on a recommendation, here i think, of "Secrets of mental math" by Benjamin and Shermer...and goodness, as the book states several times - "why is this not taught in schools!"

i mean, folks constantly say "when will i need this"...well, in my opinion, all the time...strikes me as odd that even folks I know who are decent at maths, cant do double, triple digit multiplications and the like in their heads. Beyond the math olympiad trickster outcomes you might get from this sort of study...having an intuition for COUNTING just seems so foundational to make sure you're...you know, not getting screwed over...in many areas.

I also picked up an older popular mechanics "The Art of Mechanical Drawing" - by Willard, and within are some incredible drawings, of screws, nuts, bolts, sacred geometric patterns, celtic style crosses and so on. The ability to draw such things with set squares, compasses and so on is deemed an "obsolete skill"...but once again like counting...developing such a knack for this kind of drawing would be beyond handy for someone trying to diagram an idea they have, or even to explain things to others, or purely as a mental exercise of being able to manipulate shapes.

Thirdly, take a look at the field of STEM - more popular than ever. But where are the incredibly detailed Mecanno, and Lego technics sets? Stores are filled with the shittiest looking banal "robots"

I dont want to come across as tin-foil-hatted - however it just really seems that there is an active force at play to basically limit the strength of the average reasoning mind. I'm about 1/3 of the way through the above mental maths book. And once getting into it - i noticed a distinct increase and improvement in general focus in completely unrelated tasks. Once again, doubtful this is just some sort of coincidence.

Maths - should be taught, as all subjects - in a transdisciplinary fashion. Engineering, Biology, Physics, Electronics, Computer Science - share so much common ground. Yet - we're still keeping them apart. We are still forcing people to choose 'one'... Sad.
Pretty sure sex came before religion.
I’ve run into this with overly complicated Jenkins pipeline files as well. I think the root cause is just that a single entry point pipeline is boring— everyone wants a CI config that sets statuses and posts results and does things in parallel and interacts with plugins, and every one of those steps is something that is at least semi unique to the CI execution environment.

I think the method you describe is still absolutely how it should be, but this types of interactions are why there’s gravity in the other direction.
Depending on how your madvise is set up, it's often the case that sequential disk reads are memory reads. You're typically only paying the price for touching the first page in a sequential run, that or subsequent page faults come at a big discount.

If you read 1,000,000 random bytes (~1 Mb) scattered across a huge file (let's say you're fetching from some humongous on-disk hash table), it will to a first order be about as slow as reading 4 Gb sequentially. This will incur the same number of page faults. There are ways of speeding this up, but only so much.

Although, I/O is like an onion of caching layers, so in practice this may or may not hold up depending on previous access patterns of the file, lunar cycles, whether venus is in retrograde.

The Invisible College of Experimental Flatology
First of all, some context about this article. Vladimir Arnold was a great mathematician, but his opinions were often extreme, and expressed in a way that drew many antagonisms. In other words: he was respected for his technical works, but his philosophical positions were often decried. See for instance https://hsm.stackexchange.com/questions/12322/some-reference...

What Arnold criticizes is "Maths modernes", a way of teaching mathematics from theory down to practice. It was introduced in France by the Bourbaki group, and it was a great failure! Though "Maths modernes" have been removed from schools, I believe its influence is still strong at higher levels: I remember an elite student (from ENS, which is the top post-graduate for this in France) at an oral fro the national exam that recruited teachers. He clearly had no practical experience on the subject, but he could get through thanks to a higher-level theory. The jury was impressed, though that was inappropriate since the theory he used was not in the program of the exam.

As Arnold expresses in this article, anyone interested in mathematics should build a personal understanding of the concepts. And the stress on modelling is also right. But saying that everything should be rooted in the physical world is more dubious. That same argument was used, centuries ago, to reject √-1 and complex numbers. By the way, the fact that theory sometimes goes far from the initial modelling of reality is not restricted to mathematics, see Feynman famous quote "Nobody understands quantum mechanics."

Now your question: "books that teach mathematics" is too broad a category. For instance, I liked the (French) books on geometry (differential or classical) by Michel Berger, and I think they were prioritizing the practice and introducing concepts very gradually. But I had years of practice and solid bases in mathematics before wandering in these texts, so what was simple and evocative to the past me could be abstruse and theoretical to the present me.

My own experience is that introducing mathematical concepts through physical representations is useful but not sufficient. To build a personal representation, I often needed practice. After many exercises and questions, even if some of it was repetitive and calculatory, my inner understanding grew and I had a mental image of "how it works".
I don't know if I can agree. Python is certainly problematic for the reasons you outlined, but Go is much closer to C in terms of performance. Go is also compiled, and as such you have similar opportunity to optimize and measure allocs. In my experience it's much harder to tune Python, and Go is often easier to tune than C due to the great ergonomics of the compiler. You can also drop down to assembly!

But really, I disagree because I've frequently saturated massive IOPS. I/O is still the bottleneck. The article pretty much immediately excludes network I/O, which is in many cases more common than disk I/O. Even so, tiny single-threaded programs reading words one-at-a-time are obviously not going to be I/O constrained with modern disks. For these types of programs, I/O hasn't been a bottleneck in a long, long time, and I'd actually be surprised to hear candidates suggest otherwise.
