My take is that project-based learning works well when you already have the subskills and need to learn to integrate them, and badly if you need to acquire the subskills first. Traditional educators were well aware of this: an old-style university degree has you take individual modules and exams first, and then do a big dissertation at the very end.

A more scientific version of the claims here can be found e.g. in the paper "Why Minimal Guidance During Instruction Does Not Work: An Analysis of the Failure of Constructivist, Discovery, Problem-Based, Experiential, and Inquiry-Based Teaching" available at [1] (paywalled, other sources may be available) and a brief summary of the state of research in the field is available at [2] for free, with links to various relevant papers.

Note that all of these show that discovery learning (which more or less overlaps with project-based learning unless the project is very tightly guided) is ineffective for learning new things, but this is often rounded off to "discovery learning is ineffective". As far as I know, the research does not show that projects are necessarily bad to practice and deepen knowledge that you've already built up.

Tokio might is not a panacea either. If they pulled it in std, backwards compatibility would kill most evolution.
Obsidian is plaintext, Notion is richtext. This means, it's simpler to write complex documents in Notion and you don't need to know and handle complicated syntax. Which is good complex stuff like layout, tables, images. Anytype seems to have the same richtext-interface. But with obsidian on the other side, editing can be faster, if you know your syntax, and can type well.

And unlike obsidian, Notion has no direct mechanism for extension, which means there is no way to modify the app, or extend Notion-Documents with new types of data. There is an indirect way, by embedding urls, which comes with some limitations, and ultimatly it means you are depending on other servers, which comes with some more problems.

Not sure how anytype supports extensions.

THIS! I was a little disheartened when I saw I had to build it, but the repo is tiny, and the build is a second. This should be the norm, not a pleasant surprise!
I hope they really do this. All too often Companies will say this then when the law is passed they back down. Why, stockholders.

Has Apple really removed iMessage and FaceTime anywere else ? Are these available with 100% full encryption in China ? If so then they are just blowing wind :(
You can have accidents, even deadly ones, without being negligent. Hard to swallow sometimes, but true.

While both of these docs are pretty good, as someone who normally much prefers API references to "how to" formats, the MDN's "how to" approach here is succinct & just enough to cover reasonable bases, while the Rust API ref list is a bit too terse by comparison (& the Read More click out is a bit annoying).
I've definitely had this happen. With my own code, even. I build something complex, it's released to production, and a few months later I realise that something about it should be done in a different way, so I look at it, and other people have already built on top of the thing I wanted to change.

On the other hand, if you can't figure out what something is for, sometimes the easiest way to find out is to remove it and see what breaks. Maybe that's not such a great idea for that load-bearing stud, but in software it's easy to undo.
But on the other hand if a mother's child combusts they now have a way to help.

Adobe Acrobat also has it.
From the same author: https://giannirosato.com/blog/post/image-comparison/

"Considering JXL has been endorsed by Facebook, Adobe, Intel and the Video Electronics Standards Association, The Guardian, Flickr and SmugMug, Shopify, the Krita Foundation, Serif Ltd, Gaia Sky, and many more, the market is most certainly interested. My current optimistic hope is that JXL takes off outside the web among professionals working with tools like the Adobe suite or alternatives, and camera manufacturers, smartphone OEMS, and others take notice & begin to think about JXL more seriously. The benefits cannot be ignored, and it is (in my opinion) the only image format that is in every way superior to JPEG & offers a concrete future for the many existing JPEGs on the Web & beyond."
Does TechCrunch publish paid advertising that looks like stories? Good for them if they don't.

Almost all of the "press releases" and stories out there about companies, like Forbes for example, are paid for by the company. The best way to combat this would be for name brand companies to stop doing paid stories.
Felt like the Cola flavor was the worst of them all, maybe I have a too strong bias that a Cola should mostly taste like Coke or something. Anyway, I've settled on sparkling waters like Bubly/Lacroix which hit the fizzy fruity drink thing well enough for me.
The proportion of philosophy to features in their marketing seems off. They say "trust our code, not our words" and then spend several paragraphs of words talking up their ideals. It feels like something is being hidden or talked around.

Data-independence may be one aspect that's not transparent. Compared to https://obsidian.md/, I can't just use raw Markdown or CSV file with Anytype. I've paid Obsidian $300+ just because it's data independence with a few obvious strings attached. By the same token, if I pursued a local-version of Notion for my team, I would also want the same freedom that local, open-standard files offer.

“I’m leaving my job at meta”
I missed Mr Robot's first season when it originally aired. I watched the first 2 seasons, and then somehow life got in the way. I recently went back to this earlier this year, and holy cow was that a mind bender of a show. I also just happened to have had a recent friend go through a hard drug enhanced psychotic episode a few months prior, so the timing of watching the complete series and seeing Elliot's journey was much more affecting than I would ever expect. The whole time, I was wondering if this was anything like what my friend's experience was like (minus all of the hacking). Reading about the show online, there is a lot of commentary on just how realistic people thought the portrayal was.

I do like how Apple has backed themselves into a consumer-protecting hole here. I’m sure they would love to have access to that much conversational data themselves, of which no other company has access to.

If Siri ever improves too significantly I’ll get nervous.

>Stuff like this is why I'm an Apple fanboy. I'm happy to pay a premium and be locked into their walled garden

Such statements rarely end up ageing like wine in the long run. Why would you be so happy about being owned by some big corporation just because it's your favorite big corporation?

Self preservation has taught me not to trust any big corporation, regardless of how good their PR is.
> Are these available with 100% full encryption in China ? If so then they are just blowing wind :(

Talk less, read more.
If Meta also join Apple and signal in this boycott, I think that’s really it for the ruling.

They’ve been advertising their E2E on billboards, and to give in to this law would severely undermine whatever little trust they’ve built up.
> Apple previously withdrew plans for its own CSAM-scanning feature for iCloud Photos, following pushback from customers and human rights groups. Apple’s solution was more privacy-preserving than what is now proposed by the UK government.

Preface: I don't have an opinion on one side or the other.

Question: what were the arguments lobbied against apple that caused them to withdraw? Also, is CSAM the motivating factor for UK or do they want backdoor for more general national security surveillance (or whatever you want to call it)?
It's really made with love.
Nope. Open core vs open source is a big difference.
This is why I hate walled gardens.

But for some reason the majority here seem to love them, at least when Apple is the wall builder. :shrug
Businesses, especially big businesses, are just people with a problem. The nice thing is they’re not spending their personal money so they’re more flexible. If you want to take over their billing system, that is a huge project and will take lots of meetings and time and you’ll fight huge companies. So focus on a small problem those people have - keeping track of one single resource, updating printer drivers, a desktop pop-up notification when the printer is low on ink, etc, etc. A $1 million market is too small for big businesses to chase but can make you quite comfortable.

I'd monetize this by adding features and hiding them behind MDN Pro+ (or w/e the subscription is called) in the future. Ala Codepen.
Good, more companies need to fight back crazy UK demands. Blocking MS<>Activision deal, because they think they are a global superpower.
On the plus side, if killer AIs need datacenters this big, it will make it easier to kill them back (if anybody survives their initial rampage, that is.)
Canada is a huuuuuuuge country. 2nd largest by land mass - almost 10 million km^2. The population is 38M.

IMO Canada needs to build more housing, more livable cities.

Price is a reflection of demand and supply. Price going up means supply isn't keeping up with demand.
Is there a list of those who merited the HN black banner?

And it boggles my mind that you confidently make such extreme claims.
As I mentioned do any of those outweigh the possibility that some 3 letter agency might start mass scanning US Citizens for what amounts to thought crime? The very fundamental idea of privacy would cease to exist.

Policy changes:

return to a much higher upper marginal tax rate (there's no evidence that the reductions which started with Reagan have benefitted most Americans in any way).

reduce military spending (American's socialism) by at least 50%.

take the money from these two actions and use it on infrastructure and social support.

> These are lawyers, doctors, engineers, oil rig workers, underwater welders,

These are not the people who earn the most in our society. They might be the top 10%, but they are not the top 5% let alone the top 1%. The way you make the most money in our society is overwhelmingly by playing games with money. And before you cite someone like Bezos ... well, I worked with him. Bezos is an exception that proves the rule (and is surrounded by people who played games with money in order to make money).

> Dude. Its literally a government run wealth distribution scheme. It's the basis for most citizen's retirement.

If I am hired for a job, and the job pays $X/year and contributes $Y/yr to a pension, with the promise that in retirement I will be paid $Z/yr, there is no possible way to construe that as a government run wealth redistribution scheme, even if I am employed by the government. Wealth redistribution schemes consist of taking money in taxes from people with more money and (in some way) giving it to or spending it on people with less.

> The technological innovation that comes out of the US blows Europe out of the water.

Certainly there is a particular kind of technological innovation that the US is very good at. But ... I would first question the extent to which this innovation is necessarily a force for good, and secondly I would point out that this prowess does not extend to micro-electronics (where Asia dominates overwhelmingly) or mechanical engineering (where Europe is generally still ahead of anything in the USA. There's a reason German designed and built equipment is still so prized). Even with pharma, its not entirely who is doing the best work (rather than the most work).

> But the majority of Americans are wealthier than the majority of Europeans! A random sample of both populations would yield wealthier individuals on the US side.

In terms of income (even adjusted for PPP), sure. But as I tried to explain, that's a silly way to measure wealth, at least if it is the only way you use. As an American, I am forced to spend more of that increased wealth on things that would be free-at-point-of-service or just cheaper in Europe. Granted, there are Americans (mostly wealthy Americans) who like things that way; I understand that, but I think it's a sub-optimal approach to social organization if egalitarianism is the goal.
You deny your users the most basic freedom there is, the freedom to use your software for any purpose without discrimination. This is wrong, and so is your attempt to misuse and redefine the term "open source software".

> Generalizations like this are just so bad

> this thing that many of them do

Lol. You can't just qualify a generalization with "many" to make it a non-generalization.

Before getting into design, I was a full-time back end developer for 11 years and worked in dev organizations in ops/support rules for a decade before that. The job market over the past decade had coddled developers so much, and made them so fragile and arrogant. Even intimating that my professional opinion on design is more informed than a developer's opinion on design often yields a intellectual temper tantrum.
>When making software at least, you know when you’re trying to use a decorative stud to hold up part of your house

Do you? Sometimes quick-one-time fixes becomes the center of important software.
The Indian curry vindaloo is also a Portuguese dish although few Indian restaurants actually serve real Vindaloo which you'll only get at a Goan house or an East Indian house. Only Christians eat Vindaloo really because it has to be made with pork, as it's a pork dish, and only us Indian Christians eat pork as far as I know.

It comes from the Portuguese dish Vinha d'Alho (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carne_de_vinha_d%27alhos). It's a simple recipe and tastes excellent.

There's a whole set of Indian pork and beef curries with Portuguese influence that are amazing and unfortunately never sold in restaurants.
> "Many states have passed hate-speech laws that protect the police from verbal or symbolic abuse, such as stomping on a “Back the Blue” sign while “smirking in an intimidating manner” (the crime for which a woman in Utah was prosecuted)."

Wow... this is just... The police have a monopoly on the legalized use of violence. Police carry at minimum one deadly weapon (a handgun), but usually have multiple so-called less-than-lethal weapons such as tasters and batons. And often more lethal weapons such as a shotgun or assault rifle in their car. But they are so fragile that a smirk can intimidate them?

I'm not sure how someone wearing body armor and carrying multiple weapons that can incapacitate or kill someone can be intimidated by a smile.
As a kid I ate this stuff up. In the eighth grade, I defaced my middle school website.

The IT person easily figured out it was me and then tricked me into thinking I would be expelled within days. She pulled me out of class, told me such in the hallway, let me return to class where I held in tears until the end of the day.

Nothing happened and the school year ended a few weeks later. Towards the end of the summer I realized it had been a bluff and I wouldn’t be punished. Took me a few years later to realize how much of a favor that all was! The county school of conduct clearly said cybercrime was punishable by expulsion so she could have absolutely put me in some kind of hell. The fear set me straight hah.
My exact response too. I guess the point of the story stands either way, so you might as well pick the positive outcome.
I feel like part of the story is missing. Did he remove the stud and learn the hard way?
Apple has been around for a pretty long time as far as tech companies go. I have grievances with them, but mostly they do a better than average job on privacy.

"This is an even more conservative position than the default Chesterton's Fence reading, which is itself dismissed by a lot of people as pedantically restrictive."

In a normal, real-life context, I can see why someone would feel that way.

In a software engineering context I think it's just a further emphasis that you ought to understand what something is doing before fiddling with it, and both the original intent and what it is currently doing are interesting information. Many times I've removed dead code, only to learn that not only was it alive (which wouldn't have been that surprising, it's easy to miss some little thing), but that it is very alive and actually a critical component of the system through some aspect I didn't even know existed, which means I badly screwed up my analysis.

The differences between the physical world and the software world greatly amplify the value of the Chesterton's Fence metric. In the physical world we can all use our eyes and clearly see what is going on, and while maybe there's still a hidden reason for the fence that doesn't leap to mind, it's still a 3-dimensional physical problem in the end. Software is so much more interconnected and has so much less regard for physical dimensions that it is much easier to miss relationships at a casual glance. Fortunately if we try, it's actually easier to create a complete understanding of what a given piece of code does, but it is something we have to try at... the "default view" we tend to end up with of software leaves a lot more places for things to hide on us. We must systematically examine the situation with intention. If you don't have time, desire, or ability to do that, the Chesterton's Fence heuristic is more important.

We're also more prone to drown under Chesterton's fences if we're not careful, though. I've been in code bases where everyone is terrified to touch everything because it seems like everything depends on everything and the slightest change breaks everything. We have to be careful not to overuse the heuristic too. Software engineering is hard.

Lived in Melbourne for a bit and was surprised by how much the locals went nuts for it.

Fun sport, fast moving, and it felt like a very three dimensional game compared to US football, which is feels heavily scripted, like running the same tests over and over and over.
It's also worth noting that this is a race to the bottom for all multiplayer games. If you don't use psychological tricks like FOMO limited time items, lootboxes, battlepasses, etc., susceptible players will drop your game for the ones that do. When a critical mass of players leave, it gets harder and harder to find a good match.

If the original Counter-Strike or Halo 2 released today the player base would dry up within a month.

Hardware (And even embedded programming) pays absolute ass since it's all outsourced to Asia. Zero reason not to do literally any other job which will use the same skills, and pay double.
