The sane reaction is to stop paying taxes.
Core ID in TSC_AUX is essentially an concession to userspace. As an OS and firmware you are supposed to identify CPU cores by means of their LAPIC ID (as read from APIC configurations MSR or from CPUID). Small issue there is that APIC IDs are structured according to HT/NUMA topology and thus not necessarily consecutive.

On the other hand, as an OS on PC-like platform you know how many cores there are supposed to be and what are their APIC IDs before-hand because they were already enumerated by firmware (which is the reason why you can do the one by one AP startup sequence in the first place).

This is the problem, not the age of the child or the crop.

Spending an occasional weekend working a few hours in a field sounds perfectly fine and character-building for a 12-year-old. More 12 year olds should be getting outside and tasting manual labor!

The issue is when this starts being less of a learning experience and more of an actual full time job. Sending 12 year olds out to earn a living clearly isn’t right.

This seems like the wrong target. A better solution might be to break the monopoly control that platform operators like Apple and Google have and impose proper laws and regulations to fight abusive behaviours by app developers (and the platform operators, if necessary).

Even if this set of changes is coming out of the EU and the chances of getting good tech regulation any time soon might not be high it's probably still better than having all of the safeguards for millions of people using a platform depending only on the whims of companies like Apple, whose track record on user-hostile behaviours and issues like privacy has no shortage of concerning events.
But there is no sense in which that's a skill required for effective reading. English spelling and pronunciation have too many random corners for it to be anything other than a distracting academic exercise.

Recognising a bunch of high-frequency words is very much the foundation of reading.

Historically reading was taught by learning words with some very basic rules for pronunciation. It worked pretty well for a long time. But the pronunciation of non-trivial words - and some trivial words - has to be heard to be learned.

For example: it's not unusual for bookish people to mispronounce obscure words because they've never heard them. They know what the words mean, but the correct pronunciation just can't be worked out from the spelling.

The only way to learn it is to hear someone saying it.

If you're going to scale up to 10s of millions of inserts a day and 100s of billions of rows, I recommend MySQL as a step on a journey towards Vitess. Otherwise, I recommend Postgres.

For anything other than a data-oriented startup, I'd pick Postgres all day long.

The troubles each database gives you do have different flavours. Postgres's query planning is mercurial and sometimes quixotic. It can be tedious forcing it to do the right thing, and it does sometimes switch strategy resulting in queries taking 100x or more longer than they used to, just because some stats changed. MySQL's query planner is more stupid, more predictable, and less likely to give you this kind of pain. OTOH you have to be more careful writing queries and you sometimes end up adding hints or encoding a query structure which locks in a query plan which might not be the best one long term. But it usually degrades gradually rather than suddenly. I'm not sure which is worse, though, because gradual degradation doesn't demand fixing.

> Conway's Law isn't a flaw, it's the correct way to engineer a product

Conway's Law is not a way to engineer product. It is an emergent property of a system, called homomorphism.

It's flaw in most systems because an organization's natural structure leads to flaws in the system. (https://www.atlassian.com/blog/teamwork/what-is-conways-law-...)

The thing is, it's not written in blood. You don't have to reorg to redefine your architecture. You don't have to design an ironclad API, or work on an "imperative function" between people sitting in the same room. In fact, there may not be an organizational principle that will give you a good architecture.

Want evidence? Open Source software. People sitting halfway around the world making software that has eaten the entire planet. Some of the contributors have commercial interest, but they don't get to dictate the architecture. And hey, how about that, the software gets made well anyway, even though the communication structure is often just one global mailing list. "The org structure" doesn't define the architecture because it would become random. Instead, the software's architecture is defined, and then people go out of their way to figure out how to make it. It is the opposite of Conway's Law. Yet it has been working for over 30 years.

Conway's Law is a flaw in human ingenuity, like a bias. We have many biases. Bias is an emergent property that, if unchecked, leads to bad outcomes. But we are capable of rising above them, if we try. The result is better if we do.

Having managed both in production at decent scale for years, I would not choose MySQL for any projects going forward. Postgres has been more dependable in its performance, more powerful in its features. There’s no “pro” to choosing MySQL that I’m aware of in 2023.
I swear we are getting too damn smart for our own good. What's wrong with a 205 Reset Content error code? Or a 503 Service Unavailable code? Yes, some users will bounce and never come back to check your page, but who cares if you are getting 1000x or 10000x the baseline visitors.
This is a great comment. To add on to a point that really aligns with my experiences:

> "Review from time to time but don't let a hard first couple chapters prevent you from ever learning the concepts."

This is a very good approach, and I wish I started doing this earlier. Even in my university math courses, the professors sometimes skipped ahead to have students focus on a few later chapters before coming back, or told the class to skip several pages in the book. I also found that working on later exercises in a textbook would sometimes help me better understand concepts introduced in earlier chapters.

Lastly—though this may not be completely relevant to studying mathematics—I've explicitly been taught in various language courses (explicitly for audio courses and implicitly for in-person university courses) that it's okay to move ahead if I know at least 80% of the material. The percentage may be higher for studying math topics, but especially for someone self-learning out of interest or for a specific application, it's much more preferable to move forward and revisit earlier exercises as needed, instead of quit the book. If you find yourself getting lost in later chapters, there is no problem with revisiting earlier chapters. You'd also likely be no worse off (possibly even better) than many undergraduates studying the textbook for a course for the first time.

The most important thing is just to not quit the habit of consistent study. Perfectionism in understanding is a pitfall for self-directed studies, which consistency in studying beats every time.
I understand your concern and share some of them.

However the solution to overreaching unaccountable private cooperations cannot be to hand all the power to another private unaccountable company.

Apple is venturing into advertising and that'll tempt them to weaken privacy protections sooner or later.

Additionally their app store rules went far beyond enforcing security and privacy. They gave themselves an advantage and removed competitors for commercial reasons.

Given that the mobile market is pretty much a duopoly in Europe there were two (political) realistic alternatives:

- Regulate tightly what apple/google are allowed to do with their stores (e.g. like a common carrier)

- force them to give customers a choice by allowing side loading.

The elected EU legislative took some points from both approaches AFTER the free market failed to implement a meaningful competition for central app stores.

Started with MySQL in the mid 2000s. It was ok for what I needed. Then switched to Postgres early 2010s. Found it richer in tooling, extensions, and options. I don't know how well MySQL supports them today, but here are just a few features that I've found compelling in postgres, while using it in various projects: JSON, search, schema, PLs, roles. The list of what postgres can do seems endless. I was once hired to contribute on a Python/postgres project. After I accepted, it was revealed to me that the Python part was inside postgres. An architectural decision that hinted something about the mind that made it, but technically, it worked flawlessly.

> There are absolutely examples of senior politicians taking pet issues on. For example Theresa May was genuinely dedicated to tackling modern slavery.

Sure; but I didn't say anything to the contrary. I was arguing the opposite: that a leader doesn't need to have direct experience of an issue, to 'sponsor' a related initiative.

> The problem for Sunak is that if you look at his record he's got no junior ministerial experience, no experience on a select committee that's relevant, no record on an all party parliamentary group, not legislative record. He simply has never seriously engaged on this issue, and it's not a serious idea - think about someone with low acheivement in maths GCSE - that student is going to be an immense drain on sources to productively teach maths.

These are all great points, but these aren't the points you were making in your initial post - where you were arguing that he shouldn't be pushing an initiative related to maths education because "Rishi Sunak has literally never in his life had any contact at all with state maths education in this country".
> The ideal status quo

I disagree. Allow side loading of apps that still meet a threshold for safety, privacy, etc (determined through a program like you refer to), but eliminate the App Store cut of sales.
Django just does it, run those migrations all the way through dev -> test -> prod.

Just wait until you get to the part in the podcast where the teacher intentionally covers up a word with a post-it note and then asks the kids to read it. Apparently, they are supposed to figure out the word from the context.
If Apple do implement this, I hope they can ensure 3rd party apps live in a sandbox or otherwise need to be given explicit permissions. One big argument I've seen against side-loading on iOS is people like the confidence of knowing that an app has to play by iOS's rules, so if we can bring this to the world of side-loading then this could be a win-win for "both camps".

I see a safety hazard with the exposed battery terminals (as shown in the picture "A 12 Volt 230 Ah lead-acid battery"). AFAIK, lead-acid batteries are less powerful than Li-ion/LFP but would probably still start a fire or give nasty sparks if something metallic falls onto the battery. (I'd be happy to be corrected.)

> The drawback of a 12-volt system is the relatively large currents required to charge the battery and power the inverter. This requires thicker, more expensive cabling to prevent energy losses in the cabling.

Arguably it's only for the discharging via the inverter that you need the thick cables, as otherwise they don't need to be thicker than the cables from the panels. (The current for charging could be much lower than the maximum discharge current.) -- Except if the MPPT steps down the voltage from the panels to the battery by a lot.
Phonics based approaches to reading have been a mainstay of private and home school programs for decades. It creates a silly disparity between those who can afford or are willing to sacrifice enough to put there children through them and those who have to use the public school system. Every once in a while the parents will have enough and revolt somehow.

I was home-schooled from 2nd grade onward, so I never really experienced the public system. But one of the small towns where I grew up had one of those revolts while I was in college. My mom because she had been homeschooling for a number of years and knew by experience how to teach a phonics based approach ended up helping a group of parents learn how to teach it to their children. A non-trivial number of families just pulled their kids out of the school and home-schooled them. I remember thinking at the time that the school was oddly hostile to updating their curriculum and approach despite concrete evidence that the phonics method substantially improved the students reading ability in part due to the training my mom gave parents and the tutoring she provided for some the students. You could see dramatic before and after results right there.

Show a parent that there is a simple method to improve their child's reading and they will fight tooth and nail to get them access to that method. Unfortunately not every town or school district will have someone who knows and can share the information.

Pricing in Ecommerce, Book
Hello, I'm Ravdeep (https://www.linkedin.com/in/ravdeepchawla/), the author of this book on pricing in ecommerce (https://pricing.ravdeep.com/). This book is targeted at practitioners of pricing and discounting in ecommerce firms i.e., people in product management, marketing, analytics and finance functions making these decisions daily.
Scratching your own itch is great advice. For three reasons:
1/ you know others who are are willing to pay someone to solve the problem.
2/ you know exactly where it is itching.
3/ you have an intrinsic motivation to keep at it when things aren’t going well.

I found myself in the middle of pricing and discounting product domains frequently over the last decade leading product teams in India and Germany. While looking for advice, the Internet and books were barely scratching the surface so I frequently had to debate my peers from first principles. This book is a condensed summary of those discussions.
I'm posting this as my very first post the same time as I posted on producthunt (https://www.producthunt.com/posts/pricing-in-ecommerce-ebook) to understand these communities better in preparation for my startup to launch later this year. If you have any feedback, please let me know.
I'm not aware of any set of games that let you transfer items among them using a blockchain either, but this doesn't matter. Here's how it could work.

First of all, before being able to transfer items there's some preparatory work that needs to be done, regardless of whether you're going to use a blockchain or not. You need the various game designers to agree on a common format to encode those items, so that the different games will be able to parse the data when trying to import a new item. Ideally, you would like everyone to agree on a single format, but even having just a few groups of developers to agree on one fixed format wouldn't be easy. After that, you have to solve two game design issues: which items makes sense to transfer from a particular game to a particular other game and how to map the different attributes between the two games in a meaningful way.

As an example of the first problem, imagine what would happen if you were allowed to tranfer automatic rifles from Call of Duty to a RPG game where you are supposed to fight using a sword and a shield: you would ruin the latter game. As an example of the second issue, I never plaied World of Warcraft, but I think that WoW swords have very different attributes from Minecraft swords, even if on a superficial level we're talking about the same item, i.e. a sword.

Note that this preparatory work is the hardest part to do, because it isn't a mere technical problem but involves many other aspects. And you need this regardless of the actual technology that you're going to use to transfer the items.

After we solved the above problems we get to the transfer part. Sure, you could use a blockchain, but do you really need it? Here's an alternative way:
when the user decides to transfer an item from game A to game B, game A's server sends a message to game B's server saying: "User X wants to transfer item Y, here's a description of item Y in the format we agreed upon. Do you accept the transfer?". Assuming that we solved the initial problems, implementing such a protocol is easy enough that most BSc students could do it as part of a software engineering course. A possible question could be how the two games would know that they are talking about the same user. There are different possible solutions to this, an easy one could be to use OAuth to authenticate the user.

In the end, the proposal of using blockchains to transfer game items is little more than using a blockchain as a database.
