I find the comments about bragging just silly

Don't know what to tell you, other than that the whole piece just reeks of compulsive status signalling. And why would one throw their "just look at our little prodigies-in-bloom" story up on the internet -- except to have people comment on it? Or is it only fawning and applauding comments they were expecting?
> Why is the town of Orania so beautiful, clean, and prosperous while the rest of South Africa is like this?

because it's a tiny, self-selecting intentional community? i hate to feed the troll, but it's pretty obvious why a small, singular ideology-driven community might appear more "beautiful, clean, and prosperous" than a large metropolis
Soo, your dell laptop died, and you decided to checkout how far away an Apple Store was? That's a very odd thing to do.

Apple Stores aren't the only way that Apple offers support, it's one of many. Just because it didn't happen to be convenient for one of your scenarios doesn't mean it's not convenient for thousands of others.

Also, from what I can tell, Onsite warranty support is a paid upgrade for Dells, not a default. I could be wrong on that, though, haven't bought a dell in a while. Apple does also support onsite warranty support for some computers if you pay more as well. So I'm really not sure what the point of your comment is.
Isn't redhat profiting from all the software upstream to themselves?

I'm reminded of the definition of a linux distribution: a package manager and a source repository.

Your speculation, while refreshingly feel-good rather than doomsaying -- is just as much projection as anything anyone else is saying.

The fact is that almost everyone is talking fantasy here, because nobody actually knows where things are going.
And this darned, newfangled Internet thing. And don’t even get me started on printed, moveable type.
As a non-professional semi-musician, it also made me uncomfortable. The "my children are wonderful miracles" attitude shone through, in a way that feels unrealistic + overly magical.

I met a Chinese couple last week coaching their young daughter in the pool. She's doing 2km daily, and is shaping up to be a pretty good swimmer. The article indulges more in this 5 minutes of tone practice than they ever have.

Are you asking for six pages of text? I'm probably the worst person in the world to say that to.

That said, I have no idea how you get "poor man's Erlang" out of this specific post. As a practical matter, Erlang is a standard dynamically-typed language in this matter; as a theoretical matter it has some limited support for protocols as used by things like gen_server but I don't think I ever saw a single use outside of the standard library, and I'm about 90% sure there's no implicit satisfaction of them; you must declare what you are implementing. It is irrelevant to my point as Python or Perl. We already know what this sort of dynamically-typed interface looks like in those systems, namely, "a lot less nice in practice than in theory but still useful enough most of the time". Nice for writing scripts, sufficient for reasonably-sized programs, not a sufficient foundation for an OS with Plan 9's level of aspirations.
At this rate, if two trains depart their depot at the same time, one leaving Wichita eastbound at 45 mph and the other departing St. Louis westbound at 58 mph, we may never know where they are going to meet, let alone how long it will take them to get there.

Salaries for educators isn't great, there were strikes right up until the pandemic started. Pay hasn't increased since then; whatever the money is being spent on it's not teachers. My first thought was maybe "mohr teachers" but I believe there's a shortage, they can't hire more math or science teachers here in western MA.

It has me wondering where this money is actually being spent!

It's been ages since I looked into cloud seeding, so maybe my knowledge is just incredibly out of date... but is there any high quality evidence that it works? I mean, to be clear, working at the scale required for agriculture. By the same token if it does work, doesn't this open a potentially brutal avenue for hydrological warfare/competition?

If you are open to it, try configuring an azure function app to use GitHub in the deployment center.

Your IP address is overused. Sounds like your Internet is really trash or you are using a massively shared network.

Also you just said VPN next to captcha. It is common knowledge that using a VPN, you will have a shared IP with other users of said VPN. Commonly people run scripts against Google, to scrap intel, and or find victim results to attack; exploit to break in.

It is highly likely an evil human used the VPN to attempt Google dorks for malicious queries. Rather than complain about getting captchas while on VPN, go build your own VPN with your own unique IP address and you will rarely get captchas.
I come from a Nordic country, where many things are different from the US. When I was a kid, I could choose what public school I wanted to go to. I'm trying to understand the situation you describe better.

First of all, are kids not free to choose which public school they will attend in the US? If so, is that by law? Do any US states allow a choice of public schools? If not, why not? Also, school curriculums were standardized where I was a kid, so there wasn't ever the problem of creating siloed "thought" schools. Isn't school curriculum standardized in the US?

This was such a non-problem in my experience, I am honestly a bit surprised how controversial it is. It would be great if anyone gave more context, as that article relies on quite a lot of US life experience.
"Sold a Story" paints a very compelling case for what went wrong with reading. I wouldn't be shocked to see some bleed in of that across to math, as well. In particular, decoding a word phonetically is a very "interact with the characters of the word" activity that many students weren't taught for many years. Literally teaching you to look around the word for context as a starting point for how to interact with a word. The same approach in math would reach similarly bad results, I'd wager.

Edit: https://features.apmreports.org/sold-a-story/, in case you don't know what I'm referring to.

It does not. As the other comment in this thread notes there are two agreements in play here: the open source license agreements and Red Hat's Enterprise Agreement. Under no circumstances can Red Hat prevent an entity from sharing their FOSS software, however they can absolutely view that action as a violation of the EA Contract, and terminate the subscription. This doesn't undo the action, but prevents further access to updates and sources.
It was that "Yes, but" there /s
No doubt the electronics explain the majority of it. Giving the kids a gadget like the phone is the ultimate lazy parenting.
I often see those "Plan 9 did everything right" posts and can't help but add "... because it hardly did anything at all"

Current complexities stem from years and years of development and edge cases of new, previously not known use cases.

Therefore Plan 9 filesystem abstractions are either really simple and often not comparable to Linux equivalents, or complicated but hiding internals behind the quasi-elegant interface. The latter being prone to fail on various edge cases.

What strikes me as unnecessarily convoluted is "mounting remote server /net directory to create proxy". Imagine what obscene things must be going behind the scenes.
I think the parent comment + yours (and others off parent) provides a perfect encapsulation of one of the dimensions of teaching / learning: what's often referred to as "style"*. One way to summarize, specifically, might be something like "inductive" vs. "deductive".

As my experience has ... accumulated ... through the decades, I've come to feel that these sorts of differences / preferences likely don't have much impact on ultimate (potential) "level"**. And, I think you see this and related notions of "what mathematics 'actually is'" echoed (in a very fractal-like way, +1 to the universe in achieving a consistency we'll never rival) across the development of individual mathematicians as well as through the history of mathematics [1-6].

These distinctions are important in "pedagogy" - can be very helpful for teachers and students to be aware of and work at, especially at the more "basic" levels. This can make a massive difference in how an individual's arc unfolds - with extremes of "F this subject" vs. "I'm willing to accept low pay in exchange for torturing myself with this material for the rest of my life!" But, aside from trying to be mindful of the differences - and all involved, ideally, trying to USE awareness of knowledge and "EQ" and all of that in making the mutual learning enterprise work for everyone involved, many other aspects of the differences can just be outlets for time-wasting if focused on IMO (/ experience).

* AFAIK, not really my field though and it has been ~15 years since I did any significant reading / study in the area - for the sake of 'full disclosure'

** The effects end up more in details of notes, problems and areas people are drawn to more or less, etc.

I ran a design team, and many really struggled with Sketch -> Figma transition, and took a long time.

I welcome many of the new features. It's great for designers who are more technically oriented, though enterable input fields would be nice.

I do wonder how non-technical designers are going to feel. The learning curve is definitely going higher.

I'm worried about the rather pricey per / seat cost. There are far more developers than engineers at most organizations, and this is really going to hurt the licensing cost. Definitely Adobe bean counters flexing its muscle.
I notice it the most when I'm just trying to find a place whose name I can't quite recall, but I know where it's located. Usually hole in the wall or other lesser known spots. I'll literally zoom in as far as I can on the building or plaza where it's located and Google refuses to show it to me.
interesting to compare two other data points, not often seen here on YNews: a) a princeton professor spends an entire lecture on debunking AI -- when used to predict social outcomes from social indicators, at scale (hint- all poor people in the pictures); second, a running advertisement seen today that promotes AI to detect and prevent suicide "before it is too late" .. apparently some profit-minded business people are looking to unload the burden of direct care to indigent or resistant-to-treatment individuals, at scale?

> Tauri wants to be less bloated, and therefore removes Chromium. Which makes it... not so cross-platform, apparently.

It's certainly cross-platform. Name a current OS that doesn't have one WebKit-forked webview or another available at all times. If you don't like Apple's insistence on only baseline WebKit out of the box, there's Microsoft's WebView2 which ships a known Chromium to every major desktop OS.

But really, if you are a web developer complaining about the differences between WebKit and Chromium, you may be spoiled. If you are a web developer complaining that you can't package a specific Chromium version (which is the real Electron benefit, not just that it packages its own Chromium but that every Electron app can pick and choose down to the exact Chromium version they want to ship), you've gone beyond spoiled to basically distrusting how the web platform is supposed to work.

(That's before you get to the other monoculture assumptions that no modern OS is instead shipping something like Firefox as the system default webview in 2023. It's all one tiny family tree with WebKit as the trunk.)
Not an employee, but: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/enshittification

The only pattern I see in response is continued innovation and the rise of new platforms. I think a business model resembling a "[public] benefit corporation" [1] (in the USA at least) or a utility company may be more compatible with a social media company immune to enshittification.

I'm not a linguist, but I always love finding (possible) examples of hard C in Latin in other languages. For instance "Caesar" is borrowed into German as "Kaiser", and the borrowing of Latin "piscis" into Albanian as "peshk" appears to me as another example of that vestigial hard C.

Teaching philosophy in the US is deeply flawed. Memorization has been deemphasized and "understanding" is being promoted. Ask the proponents of "understanding" and "critical thinking" based education to explain what the terms actually mean.

I have a simple definition of "understanding".

Understanding is when you've developed an accurate, predictive, mental model for some topic.

It's much easier to develop an accurate mental model when you memorize all the components of some topic.

I think memorization is deemphasized because memorization is painful and benefits from having an invested family that will encourage and even force the student to practice.

What are the numbers, adjusted for inflation and taking into account a rising population of students, in terms of spending on education? Where did that money go exactly, was it spent on teacher salaries or was it spent on administrative overhead and "services" unrelated to the business of actually teaching? How evenly is that spread?

Those all seem like important questions to ask and answer before we talk about an alleged "massive increase in spending" around education.
I'm a grad student at a university from Berlin. We had a job fair a few weeks ago with ~15 companies where I asked every company representative what their salary for freshly-graduated sw engineers would be. About 80-90 % fell between 50k ± 5k € before tax (=brutto). Notable exceptions were finance sector jobs and jobs at American tech companies which offered closer to 70k ± 5k €.

The scores have increased since the 70s until a peak in 2012. Social media may play a role, but "computer games in general" have existed for decades, and been blamed for decades, and in most of those decades test scores have improved. Leave blaming "computer games" to the 90s.
So what's the plan for putting it back in the bottle? llama is already out there, the chatbots are already out there.

Your implication is that children, famous for their love of texting rather than calling, are reading less than a generation of tv watching phone callers?

Don’t discount the idea that children are simply better at reading digital content and these tests are testing analogue reading skills.

Pea protein has 78/100g protein which sounds like a reasonable replacement for whey protein isolate (89/100g) or other animal sources. Not saying you should eat pea morning 'till evening but supplementing just protein powder is an option, too.

IBM was, for a while, in the business of selling "gameframes" -- mainframe systems that performed updates fast enough to run a MMO game. They used Cell processors to provide the extra needed compute, but it was the mainframe I/O throughput that allowed them to serve a large number of players. It was backed by IBM DB2 for a database, but it's entirely likely the game updates were performed in memory and only periodically committed to the database. Since, as you say, ECS entity components closely resemble RDBMS tables, this could be accomplished quickly and easily with low "impedance mismatch" compared to an OO game system.

Back on Slashdot there was a guy called Tablizer who advocated "table-oriented programming" instead of OOP. The rise of ECS means that when it comes to gamedev, TOP is winning. Tablizer might be surprised and delighted by that.
Makes sense. Somewhat related --- I find procrastination to be a very similar feeling. I know what I should do, but I feel compelled not to do it, for whatever reason.

I think procrastination and what you are describing are slightly different, though, because procrastination stems from stress and emotions for me, whereas with what you describe, it doesn't sound like you have to be stressed to experience it.
