> Of course there are lots of rationalizations for why every program needs to be unique and special, but does it really benefit the students?

Of course not. What would benefit the students would be having a lot more standardization so that we compare ideas and approaches and determine what works. But the problem with standardized evaluation is that half of the programs suddenly discover that they aren't in the top half—as most of them had previously thought. This seems like more or less what happened to standardized testing in K–12 education.

But, in the context of a specific curriculum, having no idea what is happening and therefore no way to improve your bespoke curriculum is even worse than just deciding to do things your own way.

And it's worse than medicine, because at least they have some common metrics for what it means to be healthy. Whereas, faculty get to assign grades however they want! Imagine you ran a diet study where you both controlled the meals and got to reposition the numbers on the scale at will.
My experience (e-commerce) is similar to this.

A lot of people contact support half-expecting that they'll get fucked around, and you see a complete 180 in their tone as soon as you offer a decent solution to their problem.

Of course, there are still those people who just want an excuse to be a cunt (maybe 1% or less, from my experience). I don't push them too hard to reach a solution, and just graciously accept the money they've paid me as an admission fee for what they actually wanted - an excuse to feel righteous when they smear shit on the walls.
You are correct. The primary action is key.

Yesterday, a Show HN [1] was an RSS reader that displays related HN/Redddit comments. I can imagine bookmark managers alerting you in a similar fashion. It will not be as integrated as you specified (single thread by link...), but the scale will be much bigger : Theoretically you can link it (crawl/api) to any site, then you get a dashboard+notification on your existing bookmarks for new

- discussion threads (HN/Reddit...)

- annotations/notes (Hypothesis.is...)

- reviews (alternativeto.net...)

My coda/raindrop "project" is just a "doc template" we use sometimes to organize bookmarks in a small team. It is not supposed to scale beyond that. Many Coda features [2] come handy.

If you like hard and interesting puzzles I recommend Stephen's Sausage Roll. It's the most mind expanding game I have played (with the possible exception of chess). From a simple set of puzzle mechanics it produces many deep, surprising, and beautiful ideas. It has the highest density of "eureka" moments in any game that I can think of.

Another brilliant game in the same vein is A Monster's Expedition. If you're not sure whether you like the genre, or unrelenting difficulty isn't your thing, I recommend trying it before SSR.
That is not true in most of the US. Yes the supply of land is fixed. But there is plenty of air. Who is going to make the investment to build up? Individuals buying land and building SFHs is not going to help as much as building multi unit housing.

Science may have brought us here, but that is part of the problem. That was the science of that time. That is not the same science we have today.

I think it is analogous to a some high quality product brand name that has started selling some pure crap under the same brand name, while still also selling quality products.

When people trust the brand name, they believe it guarantees the quality. For me, the "product strategy" of selling crap under the quality brand name is form of lying. These people are both selling crap and lying about the quality. To me that is worse than just selling crap and not lying about it. And if you buy one crap product, you will lose the trust to the whole brand name very quickly, as has happened with "the science".

I see Tarot etc. are more like hand-made products on some stereotypical African market. Nobody guarantees anything. Many people try to cheat you. But you might also find good quality products from one seller. Perhaps later you find out the quiet guy who produced these solid products, one who has craftmanship. And little by little you start trusting him as you see what he has done. To me that might produce more healthy attitude than blind trust in a market that is incentiviced to produce crap.

The etymology section on Occult Wikipedia page says 'as opposed to "knowledge of the measurable", usually referred to as science.' I think one needs to be very clear about this distinction. Randi's "trick" was to imply that everything is measurable. But not everything is measurable. Quality, for instance, ultimately cannot be measured. Quality can be experienced, and most people can agree on quality when they see it. But still, nobody can define objective measures about quality.
Disagree. Seems like a useful word and the article title conveys its meaning quite well. The multiple interpretations of 'crazy' are exactly what makes the title interesting. Crazy looney or crazy like a fox?

>What is it about the Internet that we want to get away from?

For me, it has become overtly adversarial: rampant "advertising"/manipulation, pervasive use of dark patterns, content for the sake of content, and the bulk of discourse is overly pedantic/in bad faith. It's not so much about finding something out there that's "better", but more about removing activities from my life that are low or negative ROI, and the ROI of the content slot machine that is the internet I expect to fall even further with the advances in AI that ChatGPT is demonstrating.

If the OP weren't so far down the front page now, I would fully expect a reply along the lines of "Well that's not the internet's fault; it is just a tool and people are the problem [..]", or "Well unless you want to pay for content, advertising is required", or "Well why don't you create the community you want then? Be the change!". To continue with the investment analogy: this is why I avoid participating in online communities - the ROI for publishing a comment (or more) is low. At best, I can expect a few upvotes which feels quite hollow, and at worst, several comments patronising me or giving my comment the least charitable interpretation possible for Internet Smackdown Points. Yes I know, I left a comment on HN; you caught me in a weak moment :) I do like writing, putting some structure and physical form to my thoughts, but dealing with the conflict it can bring online is taxing - maybe too taxing.

Yeah, but that lack of a single underlying model is why I don’t agree about the analogy. There is no disagreement about what “computation” means or of what is computationally possible, because we have a single model for that (and the Church–Turing thesis). And that single model is what constitutes the foundation, not the programming languages — which however are presented as foundations in the analogy made in the slides. In comparison, the situation is much less clear-cut and unanimous for the foundations of mathematics.
I've seen cases where an iterator was better, but I've also seen gains from using an imperative loop with manual indexing. Loop conditions and the occasional assertion can be enough to elide bounds checks. (Though sometimes the compiler gets too paranoid about integer overflow.)

Most of the time you should just write whatever's clear/convenient but sometimes it's worth trying both and scrutinizing godbolt.

> With all due respect to Croatia and the lovely people that live there, they cannot compete globally with Germany in any interesting export market.

> The typical tool that a nation uses to deal with that reality is the relative value of their currency.

The typical tool they use is product pricing. Why devalue the savings and assets of Croatians who don't participate in exports?

The irony of your claim is that Croatians use the euro as a store of value in preference to the kuna because of the (perceived) vulnerability of the kuna to devaluation, or even elimination. They've lived through several wars and attendant changes in sovereignty were bank savings were simply wiped out or the old currency was severely devalued in a forced exchange.

People tend to bring up this "important tool" but ignore that by itself it's of little value (see Italy for instance: so many devaluations, still a fiscal basket case) and ignore the severe impact devaluations have on the income as assets of people who have worked hard and done nothing to deserve the haircuts they recieve in currency devaluations. More often it's used as a tool to avoid economic reforms (again Italy).
Natural gas. Some sort of butane. Leak was in attic.

Growing up gas had a rotten egg smell. So we didn’t realize.
Also when we called they kept insisting it was the carpet, the floors, the paint. They would come out and say nothing was wrong and that smell would go away.

There was also a carbon monoxide leak that the dector was going off on. That was what make us stupid as shit while dealing with it.
It was in the article.
We eventually did.
The weight of it would be fantastic.

Dansgaard–Oeschger Event
It's definitely not pointless. Consider this: the Eurozone is a monetary union without a fiscal or political union. Its monetary policy is effectively controlled by the biggest economies, particularly Germany.

However, countries have drastically different monetary goals, as can be sharply seen in times of crisis, such as the sovereign debt crisis in the 2010s. It's fundamentally impossible to satisfy the goals of Germany and Greece, for example, with a unified currency but no fiscal union (and of course, with no democratic governance).
> Point is, most data dashboards are non actionable.

Maybe you find out that one specific class or set of classes is responsible for a lot of people leaving the program. So you zero in on that part of the curriculum and improve it. Sounds pretty actionable to me. We've actually done similar things on a smaller scale (week by week) to improve student success in my course.

But of course you don't know anything until you do the analysis.

Discussions of the EU seem to me to omit its most important functions:

1. Prevent war. The EU was designed for this purpose, after centuries of European warfare, by the survivors of WWII. You can't overestimate the damage WWI and WWII did to Europe; the next one would utilize more powerful means of destruction. You can see the problem with European conflict in the news right now.

2. Power: In a world of giants, with power already in the relatively massive US (fortunately an ally to EU countries), and shifting to some degree to China and India, little Croatia (or UK, IMHO) is a tiny minnow. The EU is a major power - the world's largest economy, IIRC.

#2 also impacts the US, and freedom and democracy, considerably. China's population relative to the US is about 4x, which is not far off the US relative to the UK. If China develops to even half the per capita productivity of the US, its economy will be ~twice as large. The same goes for India (which IMHO is a greater danger - people have their heads in the sand about Modi's openly aggressive nationalism). Without the EU as an ally, the US may be too small to compete.
> We can't even manage powering our society here on earth.

Those are political problems, not engineering ones.
There is no "tremendous advantage" available to small countries in being able to devalue their currency.

A currency devaluation may, in theory, make a country's exports more competitive but it does so by imposing a real cut on every citizens income. It also makes all imports more expensive leading to inflation so in the end, it cannot not solve the underlying problem.

There are no examples of countries becoming wealthier simply by manipulating the value of their currency. Nor does it make me taller if I decide from now on to measure my height in cm instead of inches.

> The biggest differences besides the different banknotes is that exchange rate risk has been eliminated, interest rates have gone down and Croatia's credit rating has gone up.

I'm not suggesting for one minute that Croatia now is in the same state as Greece was 20 years ago. but improved credit rating based on the idea that the currency is effectively backed by the German and French economy, was one of the reasons for the debt crisis. German and French banks loaned them money that they shouldn't have, knowing that they would get bailed out.

Good luck to them though. It seems to have a similar population size to Scotland, so is interesting in terms of the independence debate in the UK.

Short answer: Yes.

I can speak to my experience in Hawaii (that is the only place on the list I have lived). There is a significant and vocal minority of Native Hawaiians (and supporters) that would very much like to have their country restored. The Kingdom of Hawaii was illegally overthrown and the US apologized for its direct involvement in the overthrow: https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/STATUTE-107/pdf/STATUTE-....

To the point of preference of staying a part of the United States, the majority in all of the Territories (and the State of Hawaii), I assume, would prefer to remain in the United States, yes. However, that is a disingenuous question. The most recent territories have been a part of the United States for almost 100 years, that is, several generations. What else would these populations be in favor of? Indeed, the people of Hawaii, given a choice in 1875, would have preferred the reinstatement of the Kingdom of Hawaii.

> Had they filed official complaints? Gone to any regulator? Had the issue escalated?

At the time I wouldn’t have known how to file an official complaint or even that there were regulators who could do anything. What fixed it was that my screaming got it escalated to an appropriate person who could actually do something. I didn’t know the term “escalate” in that context at that time, and customers shouldn’t have to know how customer support works to get things escalated. That should have just happened when I described the problem the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th times.
65% of California voted to overturn the 1963 Rumford Fair Housing Act, thereby allowing property sellers, landlords and their agents to openly discriminate on ethnic grounds when selling or letting accommodations.

The supreme court had to overturn the law.

Direct democracy is an objectively horrible way to govern. The US realized this hundreds of years ago and The Federalist Papers explicitly called out the "problem of faction" which is why we have a representative democracy instead of US citizens voting on federal law directly.

Children, immigrants, future transplants and prisoners can't vote. Should we be okay to grind them into dirt if it'll enrich voting demographics?
Nonsense. The countries that are in line for this will peg their currency to the euro just like NL did before the euro with the German Mark.

If anything the local population that does not yet have the euro for everything is being scalped by their banks: debts are in euros but income is in the much weaker local currency. Most of them can't wait to switch but the access criteria are still fairly strict. Yes, the exporters also have a benefit: mostly because of the enlargement of the single market. But this is still within Europe, the comparison should be with the countries outside of Europe and then suddenly being part of a larger trade bloc with a single currency is a huge advantage.

Ask HN: Prevent monitor turning on during restart?
Hi guys, I'm tinkering trying to do a real-life smartTV/Kiosk for commercials.

I have no problem turning on/off the screen, however given that I do a daily restart, I would like to do it when the screen is off, and keep the monitor of during the restart. The problem is that every time I restart, the monitor turns on automatically.

Is it possible to prevent this behaviour?

Context: I have a script in autoload that decides when turn on/ff based on API call to a backend api. HW is Raspberry.

My crystal also suggests that more crypto regulations are going to be introduced which will kill off lots of ERC-20 tokens posing as unregistered securities. In general, some 'coins' will continue to be around after regulations and many meme coins and tokens will not survive.

As for the next exchange to go down especially after regulations, my crystal ball also predicts that at least one exchange is going to go down. Either Binance or Kucoin is likely to be next in 2023 once regulators target more rules against crypto exchanges. That will also be the beginning of the end for Tether with an almost certain path to collapse which will significantly impact the crypto market.

I could be wrong, but as with this precise prediction of the year that the crypto market crashed [0] which sets the justification for more regulations in 2023, we will once again wait and see and in a year's time, tell everyone about it.
