The studies author is a very interesting guy you would do well to find out more about Dr. Didier Raoult.

When speaking of his family he described his Grandmother...
“I don’t want to be ashamed to be less courageous. She was deported to Ravensbrück, my God,” he said. “It’s in my family. Sometimes you need to disobey because you think it’s not good to obey some things incompatible with your moral sense.”

There is a massive difference between educating a single person who you have a very close relationship with and managing the education of ~100 students in batches of 20 to 30 which you know for a single year, given only a few hours a week with them.

Most any parent (or most any relative or family friend) without training is able to do the first form of education due to how much time they can spend and the existing relationship, but they will not be able to do the second. There is a limit on how much education they can give based on their own knowledge, but even without training they can still teach the basics they know and instill a desire to learn.

We can't scale this. We can't hire enough teachers to work with students 1 on 1 in the same way parents can. We have to have experts who work with groups of students to continue their education into more advance knowledge. But even these experts can't do the entire process of education, at least not with the class sizes they are currently being given.
Yes, optional does not mean it is not considered.
> If you kick out the problematic students, the only students you have left are easy to teach non-problematic students.

Maybe the negative effects of having problematic students is enough that its a worthwhile endeavor? By Middle school or high school "problematic students" involves people that not only are noisy and disruptive in class, but people that deal drugs, rob people, steal, join gangs, bring weapons to school. Just calling them problematic is really underselling the situation. And the effects of a student that routinely swears at a teacher and causes fights disrupts a large number of students preventing them from learning things.
Roads in the US aren't as safe to cross - you wouldn't take a shortcut across a dual-carriageway in the UK and that's just 2 lanes in each direction.

Walking is just an afterthought really, until you get into certain areas like South Beach in Miami.
Mirroring my comments elsewhere:

In an ideal world we would not have censorship, but people would be punished for death threats and violent action. However, most governments do not have the resources needed to enforce such punishment in the scale necessary (in these cases). When the need for that supercedes the capacity of the state to control it, the devil's bargain to censor speech instead.
Nobody is switching away from Apple over this, so ultimately Tim is doing his job. Under his watch Apple has become the defacto choice for entire generations.

It's much less brake dust, no exhaust fumes, but slightly more tire rubber particles, because EVs are heavier.
>The philosophical issue is charter schools use public resources yet are not accountable to the public.

They absolutely are accountable to the public in their school district, who can choose to send their kids not to that school if they don't like the school, depriving the school of revenue.
> It’s also funny that the scroll might just be a laundry list.

Even if it were, a laundry list from 2000 years ago would be a fascinating read.
Every school should have a library for the interested students! Otherwise I bristle a bit at being anti-computers in public school, especially in the coming age where LLMs can be doing a lot of the more rote 1:1 work of teaching.

This is coming from someone whose "Google classroom content" was chromebooks connected to our teacher's Drive; if there's some cursed Google Blackboard-competitor then maybe a return to physical books could be justified!
Only 2 weeks of vacation a year and no holidays? Any professional who is currently employed and not in dire need of a significant pay raise can afford to be more discriminating than to get such a raw deal.

Before that you got an issue saying "There's a bug on the notification list" and you needed to figure out how to reproduce it. Now you get a video showing exactly how to reproduce it.

It's a life changer and the opposite of what you describe.
"The typical way for pedestrians to cross a busy highway for example is via a bridge"

I'm not sure where you're from, but I have seen very few of these. Usually the ones I've seen are over a very busy road with few to no intersections and a lot of foot traffic. These are beneficial to the flow of both car and foot traffic instead of using long cycle times.

“beg buttons”

I'm sorry, but that is some extreme spin. What do you think happens at traffic signals? Those signals use sensors to identify when cars come up to them. These sensors don't work for pedestrians lacking large amounts of metal to trip the fields. So yeah, they have a button to tell the machine they want to cross. Usually, the lights change just as fast if not faster than if a car pulls up at a red light.

When in a shared space, everyone must wait their turn. If you don't, you end up with people steeping out in front if cars and people running red lights. Taking turns is part of a functioning society.
It's been recommended on this topic several times, so I'm looking at it. Quite expensive ! I see there is a series of lectures, which seems identical to the book. Is it the same ? Or still worth buying the book ?
Isn't it a standardized test? Doesn't test scores dropping to 30 year low mean they have shifted the mean?
That's another absurd point about our public debates: No one cares to share some facts. It feels like it's all based on gut feeling and emotions.

As far as I know, we don't have official numbers (at least not shared as part of the discussion). But what we know is, those scanners have a significantly high error rate and will overwhelm law enforcement with false-positives. What we also know is that law enforcement is simply not competent enough, there was a case in Germany where they just removed links in a Forum forgetting to sweep the according link targets to file hosters.

Serious question: you don't see a dilemma in kicking out those who seem problematic? I absolutely hear you that a parent wants the best for their kid. But historically declaring that some students are an issue has been a frought road.

I think these are good points, I am hugely in favor of expanding food stamps and child tax credits for this reason. One estimate is that every $1 spend on food stamps expands GDP by $1.50, so this is really good for the overall economy. I have heard of much higher estimates, but cannot easily find the source. We definitely need to help poor families break the poverty cycle. Schools should have free breakfast, lunch, dinner, and after school programs as well to deal with lack of food at home and 2 parents working full-time.

How much of comercial settings will be eaten up be online shopping? I can’t remember the last time I went to a brick and mortar store to buy something.
I am not OP but I don't think you are on the same page as the OP. I believe OP was trying to say was that parents heavily impact their children's ability to perform well in school. There are a ton of studies that show involvement from parents, parents level of educational attainment, the amount of resources that parents have access too etc. directly impact their children's educational outcomes.
I could be wrong but I don't think the OP was blaming teachers
I think OP would agree with your statement
"Meanwhile, the entire time she has taught, parents have done everything they can to shift blame from bad home life and kids that don't value education to "you aren't doing enough""

This is not an explanation. I am aware the search results can be different to different people and based on demographic information.

My specific question is why would a top result not even end up on the first page. This requires a more significant explanation than "its possible".
The developer was very embarrassed about the mistake, that probably played a factor in "hyping up"
Maybe another way of putting it would be "the thrill is gone".

Most us started out with a lot of enthusiasm for programming, but for some it slowly eroded along the way or the novelty wore off.
To me, it's a mystery why some people can maintain their passion in the long run, for some it's on and off while for others it completely dies at some point.

Microsoft is trying to anchor the price of their more expensive laptops. When the "low-end" laptops start at $999, charging $1500+ for a "mid-range" laptop doesn't seem so outrageous anymore.

I saw this scenario happen. Startup, one person wrote an insanely complex engine that did a lot of stuff; allowed them to scale up, get funding, etc. But... it became a complexity nightmare. The answer was... hire a new single expert, and let them rebuild a bunch of stuff, and... there were now 2 insanely complex layers, one of which sort of knew how to interact with the other one. The first person had gone, and the second person ... just didn't come in the office much (2-3x/month), and... was 'above' all the 'day to day' needs.

First phase was about 4 years. Second phase started, and I was there in year 2 of that. 6 month contract on my part. Took me months just to figure everything out.

Background - the core engine was PHP. The 'rewrite' was also PHP.

I left, and got some updates from a few folks later. They hired some python and JS people ("we can't find/hire any PHP people!"). And... they gave the python and JS people greenfield "rebuild chunks of this system". And months later, this was all spun as "PHP sucks, node rocks". Because.. well... look what was getting done. They couldn't hire many PHP folks because... they weren't paying terribly well compared to the level of skill required to deal with the core engine.

This was far less about tech as it was management. Giving a team of JS people who are all colocated, have a working system to inspect and emulate, can choose their own tools, and are given a long time frame... it's not all that surprising they had some success compared to "let one guy go off on his own and don't talk to him for weeks at a time".

Looking back, the second guy was trying to recreate much of the flexibility of the first system, but in a 'modern' way, which was very much not a great idea (the complexity and flexibility were the core problems, from what I could tell). The node and python teams avoided implementing much of the flexibility, and they could get away with it a bit more because by that time the business was more established, and had a better understanding of what they needed and what was not.

Part of how I viewed it was "it took 12 people 8 months to recreate 20% of what one person did in PHP in a couple of years". But that's certainly putting an overly pro-PHP spin on it. ;). By all means, though, having just one person be the sole person who knows 90% of the system, with no time given to train others... huge red flag. Took me a few months to suss out just how precarious that was, and I understand the business need to spread out the risk. Was just very annoyed that the "rebuild" decision was spun as "php sucks" instead of "solo-expert-working-in-isolation" sucks.

You can build a lot of stuff on top of these two.

Process groups aren't hierarchical because it is a two-level namespace: process groups (jobs) are members of a session and all processes in a job must be members of the same session. All child processes inherit their parent's process group and session. If they didn't then such a program would not work correctly in any shell pipeline and a bunch of other behavior would break.

I'm assuming all processes are under your control in this scenario. It should be very rare for any process that isn't a shell or daemon to create its own process group or session.

Sessions can optionally have a controlling terminal, one (and only one) foreground process group, plus any number of background process groups.

The foreground job is how the system decides who receives signals generated by the TTY. If the controlling TTY disconnects or is closed the session leader gets SIGHUP which it usually uses to signal all the process groups it created. If the session leader dies or exits then all processes in the foreground process group get a SIGHUP.

If you exit an interactive shell or close your SSH session the system generally cleans everything up as you would expect. The processes involved generally don't implement any special handling code to make this happen: the session leader (your login shell) uses the standard Unix job control APIs to manage the session + process groups and the expected behavior falls out naturally.

Unless there is a good reason to implement this differently: don't. Use the standard Unix job control APIs as they were designed to be used.
LLMs Are Computing Platforms
You sidestepped my point. Segregating all the underperformers into one place causes harm and you're ignoring that harm, assuming that the benefit of segregating the high performers is more important.

And you are in fact crediting the charter school with the benefit while ensuring that public schools receive blame for any harm that results.

I think you're actually arguing against universal instruction, that we shouldn't educate all students. Which we could do in public schools also! But you're not suggesting that at all.

I switched to Mint for a year and had serious issues with deprioritization. I would get “E” service in the middle of a busy city, forcing me to repeatedly reboot my phone. Perhaps it was just a Pixel 7 issue?
I was doing the mathematics thing of skipping over the most trivial case.

Set N = 0 dollars of hash power and it becomes really obvious that the person running the network can just arbitrarily create any blockchain they want at any time for ~zero cost. It therefore clearly isn’t an “immutable system of record” because they can change it.

But let’s flip it around what specific benefit are you proposing and how exactly does cryptography enable it differently than a Bank.
That's a different question, isn't it? Maybe you should explore it on its own rather than letting it distract from the issue under discussion.

They are different in a sense US Empire and its vassals are starting to lose wars and influence, so westerners started noticing these events as negative. Previously, they didn’t care.

It's easy to forget the maintainers' side of this.

Yes, most contributors will prefer opening a PR on GitHub as apposed to mailinglists. But imagine instead that you are David Miller, and it's your job to consume the absolute fire hose of patches and messages related to Linux's networking subsystem. Would you rather wade through the hundreds of messages and patches coming in every day using either GitHub PRs and issues or email?

I would choose email for one simple reason: It's easier to script.

Even as a small-time contributor and observer to that space, I couldn't even imagine trying to keep up with everything going on if I couldn't bulk download, filter, tag etc. As a maintainer it would be excruciating.

Ask HN: Developers, what frustrates you most about CMSs?
I've worked with various CMS platforms and have also built custom solutions for clients.

I'm working towards open-sourcing one of my builds, but I want to ensure it would be of use to others, besides myself.

To make sure I'm on the right path, I'm quite keen to see what problems everyone else regularly faces on a day-to-day!

So what frustrates you most about CMSs?

Curious -- how do services raise prices? Is the presumption that a carrier has to give notice, then the user has to opt in or their service automatically terminates?

> in Europe abusive and surprising (to an informed party) terms and condiations

It can't be surprising to any informed party that prices change. Especially right now, it cannot be argued in good faith that a price increase was surprising to anyone.

Does the user have to opt in each time the service changes (for ex if 2G service gets dropped)? Who decides what changes require a user's approval?
I think smart lights may be the equivalent of an Arduino blink-the-LED sketch. Humans like a little bit of control (over your environment/technology) for its own sake.

Zeke Faux's book(1) on crypto pretty much sums up what most people believe: SBF knowingly ran a Ponzi scheme, or at the very least knowingly stole from investors, but that all of them had a knowing hand in it and bear responsibility.

Michael Lewis's book(2) however is much more sympathetic, painting SBF as a hapless nerd with autism, who meant well but wasn't socially adept enough to knowingly commit a crime; he broke the law for a good cause; altruism.

I think the jury is going to have to wrestle with these two ideas, a crime versus culpability of "super smart kids" that got in over their heads. I think therein lies what will be a hung jury.

My reading of "purposefully sabotaged" is that whoever was in charge of the schools decided to make them worse for political reasons, like not believing in public education. I'm not aware of any dems doing this. I certainly agree that they have accidentally sabotaged schools through incompetence or corruption, but that's a much harder problem to fix than "just don't vote for people that don't believe in public education".

My point was that elections here are almost always about improving public schools, but the government has not been able to over the course of decades. Call their stewardship what you will. Purposeful sabotage, accidental sabotage, whatever, doesn't really matter to me. What matter is that the government is not capable of enacting the voters will of having good public schools, which is why charters are so popular.
Thank you. I've opted to forego data editing in the app for now, but a path exists to make that a reality. My priority is to allow people to experiment and build on the foundations I've laid here however they see fit. One benefit of the current API is that any data source can easily be integrated.
