Audiation is a basic skill for any instrument. Accomplished musicians are trivially able to improvise complex melodies that they can play and sing simultaneously.
Not the meaning, but the pronunciation. Phonics is about teaching the sounds each letter, or letter combination ("th", "sh", "ch", etc.) produces and equipping students with the ability to sound out words they don't recognize. "whole word" approach is geared around making students memorize entire words, and hope that they can guess at how to pronounce unrecognized words based on context.

You're definitely still supposed to derive meaning from context and clues. But you should be able to pronounce the word without this context.

A common narrative is that a lot of kids were set back by the quality of remote or in person education due to a covid. Another common narrative is that these kids are screwed for life because of this setup back. I would just like to remind people Black Americans and poor whites often deal with lower quality of education compared to white and upperclass peers for their entire K-12 experience.
How is it any different? Are you serious? For the overwhelming majority of our time on this planet communications were limited to word of mouth over geographically limited areas. Now it is trivial for any form of bullshit to spread worldwide in minutes. The stakes have changed.

You know what, I think you're right. I should be less judgemental. I'm not sure why I thought that was okay. I think some of it comes from the disappointment when someone describes themselves as loving math being part of their personality, but then when I try to engage with that as a jumping-off point or common interest its like there's nothing there.

they're not, because they have no idea what they're looking for, they lack the subject knowledge and expertise, and they werent involved with directly producing a lot of the open source components they are having problems with.

By "engineer" I mean, "we are the people that wrote the actual open source components they are having a problem with". It would not be in their interests to hire us directly because 95% of the time the regular support people can do everything they need without things escalated to engineering.
Am I reading it correctly that `clear` does different things for maps and slices? Why doesn't it remove all the items from the slice like it does with the map, or set the values in the map to the zero value like it does for slices? That seems like an easy thing to get tripped up on

I forget where you're from, but I know you're a little older than me. In my public school, 8th grade tracked some students into high-school math (New York Regents Course 1) and the others into math that they'd need for the next year. But in 7th grade, all students were solving some algebra problems, graphing and plotting, etc. basic geometry, some constructions, etc. 11th grade (Regents, not Honors) Chemistry had equilibrium problems, etc., although it was hit or miss whether the teacher could teach them. It was also not required, as only 2 years of science were required, and most students would have taken Earth Science/Geology and Biology. However, it shows that public schools can get teach it, and the standards can require it.

I do wish people would give up on teaching Physics without Calculus. Kind of a wasted year for me, and everything made sense as soon as you added differentiation and integration. I think the two courses should be taught together in the same class.

Presumably, the No Child Left Behind act and the Common Core curriculum are supposed to provide a baseline for the country that is well above "times tables in 8th grade". Common Core seems to me to suffer from a second-system effect, eschewing some of the tried-and-true for the experimental, but the motivation is a reasonable one. I never understood why they didn't take a successful state's curriculum and adapt it to all the states, but that's politics more than anything else. I'm pretty concerned though, now that I'll be having kids go through the system, that the parties involved (teachers, administration, politicians) will conspire to avoid doing work while avoiding responsibility. But that's local politics, not national.

There are plenty of other equal-area map projections. Several of them are less shape-distorting than the Peters projection. See e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal-area_projection. Peters did a great job of publicity, as witness the common but completely false idea that the Peters projection is "the way" to make an equal-area plane map, but there's nothing particularly great about the projection itself.

This is why I use TrueNAS. I use Core instead of Scale though because I prefer FreeBSD. Its main job is to hold my ripped media library and run Plex. If I can glue other stuff to it (like an Ubuntu Server VM running Pi-Hole) then that's just an added bonus.

The complementary relationship is also true.

RHEL became the enterprise Linux distribution because it was the one used and supported by Oracle, back then, when many companies still used Oracle as their database.

I am talking about 15 years ago.

Even nowadays at work, we all use Ubuntu in our workstations, but the servers run CentOS (another repackaging of RH).

Without the support of Oracle, we all would be using SUSE in our servers, instead of a Red Hat based distro.
Related tot he topic but not the article: As of very recently UnRaid also supports ZFS. Worth a look if you are evaluating TrueNAS and similar options.
RHEL also introduced some.... interesting changes few times, like re-enabling ciphers removed from upstreams because their clients needed them for something.

I remember our amazement on how we failed audit on having a cipher enabled in OpenSSH version that had that cipher removed in upstream...

Oh, completely agree. Same with podcasts honestly. I can consume the content way faster, search and skim more easily, determine relevancy in a flash with text vs video. It’s why I have no interest in TikTok and never developed the YouTube addiction that seems so common among tweens.

Bringing it back to kids, I realized you could draw some parallels to TV. The thing about TV is that you had much fewer choices in what to watch and it was harder to “hide” from your parents compared to smartphone videos - if your parents thought something was stupid they could just overhear it and make you turn it off more easily than the smartphone equivalent. Also, with TV the branding is usually not done on the e-celeb/individual level, it’s more show-based branding, so it’s a little less tilted towards parasocial content.

There are a few things driving this trend towards video I think, one is that a lot of consumers now are less literate/educated than would be on the internet in the past, as well as younger with poorer reading skills - video has relatively more demand vs text. The other is that videos are easier to monetize and from what I understand have higher paying ads.
Twitter has failed to pay millions in worker bonuses, lawsuit claims
Eventually it will catch up with them. It may not be today, it may not be tomorrow but in 10 years time, I bet Amazon’s retail business will have declined.

People are not stupid and they learn. They will go to the place which works best for them and if Amazon stops working for them, they will go somewhere else.

One final comment is Amazon says one of its corporate values is customer obsession. On the retail side of Amazon, I am not seeing a lot of customer obsession. I am seeing a lot of short term thinking which gets Amazon more money today but will hurt their business in the long run. Here are some examples:

- Horrible content discover for books, movies and TV. Amazon just returns the results of a database query. It does not try to help you find content you will like. In TV shows, it lists each season as a separate show (web site, about 5-7 years ago).

- No way to distinguish between high quality non-fiction books and disinformation.

- Its book categories are very badly done. One example is I once went looking for computer science books. There were duplicates in the top 50 (i.e. one book listed more than once) and almost none of the books were computer science books. They were either “How to use technology X” books or “How to ace the programming interview” books. Some were also public policy books. This was about 10 years ago.

Why Did Intel x86 Beat RISC Processors in the 1990s? (2022)
Not quite. They're experimenting with commodity hardware to provide additional experimental functionality on missions, not to replace the core mission hardware.

For instance the mars helicopter, Ingenuity, was effectively an expendable part of the Perseverance rover mission. Even if it never took off they'd still consider the overall mission a success. That it has worked so well despite using commodity hardware has been a nice surprise and might result in NASA using more of it, but the Perseverance rover still used proper rad-hardened chips and other specialised spacecraft components.

They're also definitely not using commodity hardware and fail-fast-fail-often on crewed aircraft.
I wish as a developer tool Apple would let people run Vision Pro apps on an iPhone in something like Google cardboard.

People have a problem with this post and these kind of posts because they imply it was deliberately done for evil reasons.

The point of any article isn't just its factual content; it's the hidden message from the way it's said. I don't know if you intended to say it the way you did when you started off with the comment about poverty in the first two sentences, but by doing so, you set the tone for the rest of your article. (You also didn't expand on that tidbit so it kind of leaves your audience wondering why you mentioned it.)

I like the rest of the article though.
I wonder how much this difference can be observed between academics with a Math major and those with a History major.
That doesn't matter. In big corporations, unless they're making a strategic investment in a particular area or product, the ROI on any project is compared with to all other projects.

The ROI on Domains is likely to be no where near that of, I don't know, GKE or BigQuery. You can argue all you want about how those are totally different projects with totally different considerations. But at the end of the day, unless Google wants to have a strategic investment in maintaining an end user facing Domain Registrar service, the ROI is all that matters. They are focusing and consolidating all their "developer facing" services in GCP. What makes sense will eventually move there, what doesn't will get cut.

ARR and YoY growth tell you nothing about profitability or the ROI. Google never shied away from deprecating services that they don't care about to focus on things they care about.
QNAP had a minor version upgrade a while back that re-enabled auto-updates that had explicitly been disabled and there was a major version update (v4 to v5) not too long after that. I was intentionally holding off on upgrading to v5 because there was a Samba related issue that broke my primary workload. I almost got burned by it. Yesterday I got an email from one of my QNAPs saying an automatic firmware update was scheduled for 00:00 today even though I have auto-updates turned off.

I don't think it actually updated today, but I don't think they have their act together when it comes to managing updates and I'm not willing to depend on any of their stuff.

Synology is more complicated and ultimately comes down to the use of BTRFS. I don't know a ton about filesystems, but, the way I understand it, BTRFS allocates extents and then puts blocks into those extents. Depending on your workload, you can end up with orphaned blocks in those extents that prevent space reclamation (because it reclaims extents, not blocks) and it can result in runaway space usage. Search for "BTRFS missing space".

I may not have gotten that 100% correct, but I think the basic idea is close.

My workload (backup storage) overwrites random blocks in existing files and that's one of the scenarios that exacerbates the issue. I've ended up with empty LUNs on a Synology that are "using" TBs of space on the containing volume.

The Synology can also have a pretty complicated "stack" by the time you get your data onto it. I think I had an image based LUN on a BTRFS volume on mdadm RAID1. That was achieved through the GUI without making any crazy choices AFAIK.
Why don't we solve the individual's homelessness/poverty problem, and then ask them in six months if they still want to do assisted suicide? That way we can eliminate cases where the desire is circumstantial.

Nice, my push for actually using the sha256 instructions on amd64 finally got released. 3x-4x increase in hash speed on most x86 which is really nice for content addressable storage use cases like handling container images.
I always assumed Tesla was aiming less at people who use a truck for work, and more at people who use a truck as a sort of status symbol.
"it seems really slimy to build RHEL on the work of who knows how many people that publish it for free and then to put road blocks around their derivative"

I'm always curious that people get angry at Red Hat profiting on the work of others, but few people get angry at the companies that use a RHEL clone to run their business and pay nothing and contribute nothing.

Red Hat is still releasing source code. The only thing that it's not doing is making it super-convenient to rebuild exactly its product.

Seriously - for most purposes CentOS Stream is just fine if what you want is a distro that feels like RHEL. Its one drawback is that it's not a one-for-one clone of RHEL, which generally only really matters if you are using it to run your business. Which gets me back to - why are people so pissed at Red Hat but not all the organizations that make money using RHEL but don't pay towards its development?
> But at the same time you fail the see the nuance for why others might make a different decision.

Umm, I totally see why others would decide differently. Everyone makes their own choices and trade-offs.

I was just trying to point out that if the objection is that doing those sorts of things is a career-killer, that's objectively not true. It might mean that certain specific companies won't like you, but you won't be rejected by the industry overall.

> I would not mind that actually, because games developed my so-called independent developers are usually not that good.

Sure and the majority of indie developers lose money on their games. However sometimes indie studios produce amazing games and we don't want to prevent that from happening or we'd miss out on games that are some of my all time favorites like FTL and Minecraft (not to mention dozens of others.)

> Creating quality games requires a large amount of cash reserves to pay for a creative team, including programmers; independents usually do not have that luxury.

Only for certain types of games. Indie games don't have the funding to produce massive amounts of assets, but they have the freedom to take risks that larger studios can't. Without that innovation, we'd see even more stagnation in the AAA game market.

Show HN: Namicious – Curated AI Business and Domain Names
After spending time and energy thinking about a domain name for my website I find that most .com domains are reserved at unaffordable prices for a startup. That's when I thought of using GenAI technologies to create ideas of names that could be free to acquire and reserve those that sound good but at an affordable price for everyone. Namicious eliminates that disappointment by providing you with an inventory of available domain names at your fingertips. Harnessing the speed and intelligence of AI. GenAI creates numerous names and we select the best ones and put them on this page for you. Many times GenAI, creates repetitive and uncreative names so we try different prompts to get better ways. We continuously generates fresh and exclusive domain options. I would really appreciate your comments and also if you can share some ideas of what we could implement to stop having unused .coms.

Kudos!

Well, wasm runs slower right? I'm not that familiar. Seems that if wasm is a goal, then that might negate they did this for performance. What other benefit is there to wasm that would make it a fit for Q#?
I see it as an example of how Mastodon will succeed, rather than fail.

The mainstream internet would never even consider the needs of autistic people - both culturally and financially, it's a non-starter. But Mastodon allows communities to cater to those needs - indeed, the initial community was made up of people driven out of the mainstream web by its hostility and lack of empathy towards "abnormal" people.

But, unlike say Twitter, a centralized platform where the man in charge can just decide to redpill the whole site and there's nothing anyone can do about it, no one is forcing all instances to conform to any particular set of rules. Allowing instances to form their own rules and federate with like-minded instances is a strength, not a weakness.

I mean, I'm sure there are a lot of fathers of autistic children, and autistic fathers, who might appreciate this. It doesn't have to be for you.
It might also be that they’ve worked their way down the priority list and are getting to these features that are largely just to tidy up code.

I sort-of agree, but maybe not on the term "human brain".

I think there is definitely something (or several things) in that brain that is extremely good at fuzzy messes of correlations. It's just not the conscious mind that maybe some people think of as their "self".

After all, those difficult image-recognition and language tasks are carried out by the human brain, even if we can't explain how they work in the "explainer" part of our mind.

Tangentially related, I find the split-brain experiments fascinating[1], in how they demonstrate clearly that there can be multiple "consciousnesses" at work, and the one that does the talking is only one of them, and is not necessarily running the show.
