I had a similar experience in Germany. Studied Engineering Physics with a major in semiconductor technology. At university we learned everything from high level programming, VHDL, electronics down to semiconductor chemistry. I didn't find it boring at all.

Judging from our industry partnerships the semiconductor industry seemed to do well at the time. At least that was my impression. When I graduated in 2001 the signs of impeding death were already there however, so I worked in aerospace for a couple of years, went back to university for a computer science degree and ended up in software anyways. Not the worst thing to happen for me personally, but honestly I still don't really understand how a promising industry could die like that.

This 100%. Self compassion, and learning that, for me, my irritability was coming from a place of anxiety, which then could escalate into anger.

Also, on the ADHD side, implementing schedules and routines to make sure I get things done appropriately and not get as easily distracted by things like video games or social media.

At first it felt like I was in grade school again, with an agenda book and blocking out time, but lo and behold it works out well. Not fully able to follow schedule to a T, but a vast improvement over before.

> The key part of this equation, to my armchair thinking, is having parents who are active in teaching the child what strategies to employ in difficult situations

The parents are the crucial part. It's my job as parent to be active in my kids education. The school, is just part of that. Making sure, my kids is in the right school, in a safe environment, and enjoying the process, are my tasks too. As parents, you are people managing your kids in the school.
In which country are public schools allowed to operate without any audit nor oversight?
Or better yet, have a handful of very disruptive and occasionally violent people who are at most only briefly removed from the classroom/workplace.
Let's also scale it up to hundreds upon hundreds of kids so now everyone is just a number. Let's add a school board that ignores parents, meaning parents no longer have any real say any more.

Let's add a teachers union that protects bad teachers, even to the point of keeping pedophiles in schools.

Let's close schools for 4 months so kids can work on the fields in the summer and forget everything when they return.
Yes the sand seems to darken a bit under where bacteria were eating, that might be the nitrogen, although it doesn't seem to spread over the rest of the sand, not sure if the plants are getting it.

Also you need to keep adding bacteria because the keep dying off. They don't have the mobility to find all the dead algae, so they are gone pretty quickly.
Cooking, Monasteries, Arithmetic: The History of Rules
I think the main problem might be that, ok, while there are possibly a lot of people who would try their best to give their kids an education, there’d probably also be a big percentage of people who wouldn’t bother at all.

So basically the kids would have no chances to learn, socialize and compete at all.

So

a) of course schools should be good and safe, but

b) people who homeschool should imho show that they put in the effort required to provide for a good education at least in some sense.

Otherwise some kids would live in squalor and would have no way out. I always thought that was the original motivation for general school duty, all cynicism about the actual implementation and its weaknesses aside.

A more common example is the meme about women and men colors. Women have magenta and salmon, while men call both pink. This has not much to do with linguistics or eliminating ambiguity.

You say 'pink', you mean 'pink', and if the other person wants to know which pink, they ask?
As someone who has worked onmultiple spacecraft, including a lunar lander, this is no surprise. Cleanrooms are great but ISO 8 (the most common cleanliness standard for spacecraft manufacture) isnt perfect.

Home schooling was the best thing my parents did for my education and social development. Surprisingly, all they really had to do, is let me do basically whatever I was interested in. They would answer questions and provide resources for learning when I asked for them, but not a lot of structure or forced lesson plan. I think it worked out pretty well for me. I say this as a kindergarten dropout who attended college at age 16, managed a 3.89 GPA, and have a fairly successful career in software for the last 20 years. I am not particularly great at public speaking but I have absolutely no problem interacting socially. Public school can be hell for a lot of kids and it's unfortunate that so many are subjected to such a broken system.
I don't see how they are different in this case. Pedestrians need to watch out, whether it's a car or a bike, and with bikes, they already learned that they are silent. Cars being more quiet doesn't make them more dangerous then.
What made you leave Fedora?

I actually love RPN, but that's only since I've seen it explained a certain way, I think it was in a manual on the Forth language. RPN makes sense for a computer, because you first give it all the information it needs to do something with, and only then what to do with it. Doing it the "classic" way (3+5) makes much less sense, because you tell the computer: here's a bit of incomplete info (3), please perform this operation (+), and oh here's the rest of the info (5).

It also said that it's in a way closer to how humans think: I have two numbers, and I want to add them up.

For me it also helps to think that RPN is based on a stack. In "3 5 +", 3 and 5 are pushed onto a stack, and + pulls two numbers off the stack, adds them up and pushes the result (8) back on the stack.
That’s alarming
> It’s a sad statement that people are surprised that they have the “right” to educate their own children.

I am not sure how this is handled around the world but in German speaking countries there is a "Schulpflicht"/compulsory education.

So by that definition if you homeschool your children (by taking them out of the public school system) you not only have the right to educate them, you have the duty to do so.

I am not sure how it is elsewhere, but the home schooled people I got to know fall into two categories:

1. Kids with rich parents who had the funds to get the right people

2. Kids with parents belonging to some religious sect that didn't want other kids to influence theirs

Both of them can have true deficiencies when it comes to interacting with "regular people" in their lives after
I agree. My sample is biased and not a scientific study.

I'm involved in a religious group that has a higher rate of homeschooling.

But the adults, who were homeschooled, that I've met are some of the most well adjusted, charming and confident people around.

Yet I've met some who were bullied in school and have to seek help because of it.

That is not to say that you can't do home school wrong and screw up your kids. You totally can.
I think sports, or martial arts, or just letting kids run free in a playground are better environments for that. Sitting in a class with a teacher setting the rules will ensure that only the most scheming or socially machiavelian kids have resources to apply or avoid violence.
Other branches of engineering: mechanical engineering, material science, chemical engineering, certainly civil engineering tend to pay at a lower level overall as well. And the purer sciences often require advanced degrees to get "real" jobs at all.

When I worked for a computer systems company after school, my impression was that the various types of engineers at the company were on fairly similar pay scales. What I think you've seen the past couple of decades is that out-sized salaries at some mostly software-related West Coast companies have really driven up compensation for specific types of jobs. It seems more likely that will settle down to levels with comparable jobs over time than the other way around as a lot of people who are late to the game try to jump in.

Fully agree. I went through a few school systems, from a wealthy public school to a less fortunate city public school.

Each have their own problems, but common amongst them were parents that were either mentally absent, or physically absent.

In these cases, kids either ended up doing drugs and racing cars on windy roads, sometimes crashing into trees while high. Or getting into gangs or violence and having a record before 18.

This is consistent with hungry brain hypothesis. Your hypothalamus detects that you have less body fat than amount set on "lipostat" and it tries to get fat content back to this set amount.

So give homeschool children state-sponsored tests, and if they are falling behind then you have an argument for forcing other schooling.

The default should not be “you have no rights as a parent”, as it is in multiple countries.
Working with people you don't get along with instead of daring to walk out and find a place where you'll work with people you enjoy working with might be an anti-skill though.

It's horrifying that parents decide to isolate their own children and ensure they are only exposed to that subset of knowledge that the parents themselves are comfortable with, in an attempt to mold them into their own likenesses.

As someone who was homeschooled, my own experience was that its much more efficient in terms of learning per hour, you can get top marks in standardised tests averaging just a few hours a week. However, it requires parental effort to ensure proper socialisation (club involvement etc) and you probably should find other families doing something similar to socialize your children with.

> Additionally, government-run/-audited schools have a mandate to actually teach children science and facts,

There's mandates to teach what the government claims to be facts as facts.

Back in the 90s, it was regular curriculum to teach everyone to eat all the breads and pasta and to limit proteins and really limit fats. None of that was fact, but based on incomplete science and lobbying from the farm industry to continue a stable corn market.

Governments are not the authority on what is fact, science, or fiction. We saw that pretty plainly in 2020 when governments and scientists changed opinions on acceptable social practices based on political situations (eg. Church services were unacceptable, but BLM street parties, protests, and riots were acceptable)

The amounts are huge:

- 1,679,694 app submissions rejected

This number is only slightly above the total number of apps in the store. Interestingly, a questionable (?) reason of "performance" was the top reason for rejections.

There were also 428,249 terminated developer accounts due to fraud, and they claim that as much as 2,090,195,480 USD worth of fraudulent transactions were prevented.

Beyond these details, the transparency report itself is vague, as is usual.

That's a different problem altogether. This isn't a factory and robots. There's no way anyone can estimate if and when an unknown can be solved. The game of estimates for these things is silly at best.

> There's just little to no correlation between the tough parts of this job, and the outcomes visible to stakeholders

There is if you make it so. If the stakeholder only cares about new features that's how we end up with products releasing new features non-stop but never fixing bugs that users care about.

The problem is the attitude and treatment towards software engineering being like a factory worker. It's not predictable the way they want it. They don't understand what's tough.

> Brushless motors are extremely electronically noisy and shielding is expensive

If we're comparing RF noise quantity, brushed motors generate a heckuva lot more RF because they're spark generators. Of course modern drones don't use brushed motors much.

Brushless motors can in principle have their RF noise reduced by careful modification of their controller waveforms.

But your point is well taken. Brushless motor RF is probably easy to identify by the presence of a few peaks on the spectrogram representing multiples of the rotation frequency. Brushed motors would look like that too except buried in a lot more white noise.

I was home schooled through my freshman year of high school. I have no intention of home schooling my children, but I’m always fascinated to listen to other adults in the process of talking themselves into it, because it gives me small a window into the headspace my parents and their peers were in when they made this consequential decision for their children. Some close friends are headed down this path, and while their reasoning is decidedly more secular, there are lingering echoes of the old Puritan impulse to flee from a fallen world.

If you’re considering home schooling yourself, I would just encourage you to consider that, like any product with a passionate fan base, there is a powerful echo chamber built up to reinforce your decision, so don’t expect to get a full accounting of the pros and cons from people on the inside. I’d also suggest to folks who have never been homeschooled themselves to spend some time reading through the experiences of adults who were homeschooled. Your kids deserve for you to make as clear eyed of a decision as you can about this.
Ah carrying a piece of paper arouns the office to seem busy, yup we still do that.
Definitely. I think there are times that schools are more valuable as social environments, teaching people how to act in society (to an extent), than some of the class material that is taught.

I would play soccer after school, and we had this one team mate who was home schooled.

Despite me being awkward and such, he didn’t get some social queues, and would either be mean or hurt kids not knowing the difference between joking around and poking fun, and just going too far.

Not nearly the case for all home schooled kids, but I think parents need to take extra attention to putting the child in social activities with their peers more so than a school-based parent would.
I think prestige is a big factor (and kind of a trap): people want to work in a prestigious field regardless of lower salary, worse working conditions etc. That's why there is so much competition. Kind of like how academic positions are so competitive despite low pay.

EDIT: Also an oversupply of graduates who feel they need to work in their fields of study. Actually I think "graduate oversupply" is the main issue. Feels like such a waste to work elsewhere if you've dedicated years to studying something, it's a major sunk cost.

Martial arts for sure.

I hear what you’re saying, but I’m sure you’ve known people at work or other places that have some dark triad traits, and it serves to recognize them.

At the time I didn’t know what those were, or why I saw some kids as “off”, but looking back they were definitely on that Machiavellian scale.

I learned not to trust them or get tangled in their shit
Anecdote; I was home schooled. I know/have met probably 100-200 homeschooled people, mostly as a kid, in a large Catholic group, although a couple as an adult when I was getting my PhD.

The vast majority, probably > 90%, functioned just fine socially after reaching adulthood. The remainder were usually on the autism spectrum. I believe autistic children are probably over-represented among homeschoolers.

This "homeschooling results in poor social skills" trope is absurd and needs to stop. There are a number of other problems with homeschooling, among a number of upsides as well. But barring Branch-Davidian type social isolation, social skills are just not an issue.
Same here.

I was only home schooled, part time, for science and math in 8th grade. I had failed algebra 2 years in a row and really falling behind. I had been to private school, public school, and a charter school.

In one year of home schooling, my dad was able to get me from barely understanding functions to solving systems of equations, and also got me fluent in spreadsheets for data analysis.

He was a Biochemistry undergrad, and he also got me to balancing stoichiometric equations by the end of the year.

From my perspective it was really nice to move at my own pace. If I had trouble understanding something, we could slow down and really focus on things.
don't do it, pwg. opsec violation! :) ;p x
I didn’t say any countries like that existed? Though it wouldn’t shock me.

OP said that “homeschooling without audits is child abuse”, and I was pointing out that that is disingenuous since a theoretical public school without audits would be even worse for children.

I agree that unaudited homeschooling can result in abuse, but the solution is not to ban homeschooling. It is to create a structure that supports an individual’s right to care for their children. That makes sure the child reaches certain age-dependent markers while giving the parent (and thus, the child) the freedom to explore the world how best suits them.
