> Charter schools throw a wrench into this as they typically don't support special needs kids, but still get district funding. This causes other schools in the district to look "worse" because their test scores aren't as balanced as before.

This is probably state-dependent, in California charters have the same obligations (with two different organizational ways of addressing them, either as if they were their own district or as part of the local district) as other public schools with regard to special education.
I don't think you can have a serious Erlang alternative without an entire runtime, but if you are interested in the (better) C-style syntax, then you miht be interested in Gleam[1] which is a seriously cool Erlang based language that is built with standard styling and ideas (type-safe, concurrency (actor-based), C-style, immutable, you can even compile out to javascript and run in the browser)

Think Elixir, access to the entire Erlang VM (and any other language/package built on it) with the syntax of C and you are there.

Yep. DSPs always have weird architectures, but in most cases, one isn't compiling the same code for multiple DSP architectures. As an example, the C2000 line has a 16-bit `char`; There is no support for "bytes".
I'm not sure. It's very unusual to see even low levels of potential interference in that area. Looking at detailed stats using the history feature of GPSJAM PRO, I'd say it's likely there's a real effect that is having an impact on a significant percentage of aircraft in that area. It's true it can be tricky to figure out exactly what it is having an impact.

"# Good" is the number of distinct aircraft that flew through that hex that never reported low accuracy with their GNSS. "# Bad" is the number of distinct aircraft that at some point during their flight reported good accuracy with their GNSS, but some time after that, including while flying through that hex, reported low accuracy. I would say that based on the number of aircraft showing up as Bad, and the fact that it's just that hex seeing this effect, it's likely to be showing a real effect.

My list of the most common things that make an aircraft report low GNSS accuracy:

1. Intentional GPS jamming.

2. Unintentional GPS interference.

3. Aerobatics that cause the aircraft's GPS antennae to be masked from satellites by the body of the aircraft.

4. On-board equipment issues.

I think the data suggests it's not #4. #3 is typically seen in military operating areas (MOAs) in the U.S.; I don't know if there might be fighters practicing in the skies west of London.

Edit to add: FWIW I've gotten one report from a person in the yellow hex that they weren't able to get a GPS fix. That's all I know.
Okay, are you talking about protected (physical separation) or unprotected (paint on the road) bike lanes? The latter are unsafe [1][2][3][4][5] and therefore unused. It's usually safer for a cyclist to ride in the middle of the lane (primary position) than to use the unsafe unprotected bike lane.

> Protected bike lane implementations often congest and slow traffic, which increases idling and carbon emissions no matter how many people say they’ll bike if it was safer. They won’t get their fat ass off out of bed 40 minutes earlier. You’re kidding yourself.

As this goes against everything I've ever seen and read, I'm gonna have to request some citations. Induced demand has been well understood for decades, and yes, the more (safe!) biking infrastructure gets built, the more people bike and the fewer cars end up on the road.

> -in colder climates, they’re useless for 50% of the year and exceptionally increase carbon footprints

Mhm. https://youtu.be/Uhx-26GfCBU?t=112

> -some cities don’t actually observe reduced injuries from protected bike lanes (often because cyclists are extremely prone to ignoring the rules of the road), and cyclists disregard their own safety and get slapped by a turning vehicle, for example. We often see the excuse that “cars should pay more attention” and they should, but also, motorcyclists have built a sentiment that you have to “ride like you’re invisible”, whereas cyclists tend to “ride like you’re the king of the road”. This is not just a car problem, but an arrogant community with a lack of self preservation problem.

No, it's an infrastructure problem. Safety must be built into the transportation system by design. Cyclists ignoring the rules of the road are irrelevant when they barely have to interact with cars in the first place (rules of the road only exist because of cars).

I'd say the haphazard destruction of Blackberries and iPads with hammers is pretty explicit evidence of how bad State Dept IT policy and execution was.

Maybe I've worked in large corporations too much, but my first question when I see policy violations is not "How is this person conspiring?" but rather "What made following the official policy difficult? And how can we fix that?"

Also, the State Dept seems like exactly the sort of place policy violations become culturally routine: non-technical experts, doing work that is arguably "more important", with IT seen as a cost rather than profit center.

Perfect storm for policy-in-name-only.

Unions for government employees are usually weird and impotent, because the government has either gutted the right to strike, or is straight up willing to just fire everyone.

Or much much worse, just completely ignore all bargaining that the Union attempts. This puts the Union in an odd position in that, people don't usually want to strike, but negotiation doesn't happen.

The issue isn't `mmap`, that's just a contrived example to show that scanning source code isn't enough to stop an attacker from adding malicious code to the supply chain.

Forbidding unsafe is a big gun. You need unsafe code for any FFI, so attackers will just look for crates that link to system libraries and add their malicious code there. If you want to do any kind of fast iteration over slices/vectors you need to use unsafe to explicitly elide bounds checks.

I think the real nugget of truth is that the vulnerability is `cargo update` and that tooling needs to look at changes that happen between versions, and alerting to new unsafe or extern bindings is a good way to do that. But I still see a few obvious ways around it - what you really want is a linker shim that can detect when symbols are being relocated into the final executable that shouldn't be there.

That seems like no small benefit. Not to mention the knock-on effects of improving their mental health.

> Education is mostly about your peers.

Nah, its mostly about your socio-economic status, home environment, and similar personal (not peer) factors.
It doesn’t simulate, and the “flicker” is named “event loop”, but otherwise you’ve got it right. The concurrency model is essentially cooperative, ie pending tasks wait for the current task on the event loop to unblock, and then they are each executed in turn (with several different scheduling priorities based on how they became pending, eg synchronous event callbacks, Promises, various timers).

And if you just happen know that the second overlaps with the former, you can convince yourself that you aren't an asshole. The segregationists of the 60s were self convinced they weren't assholes.

I'm not saying that you're wrong, but isn't there also an obvious incentive for someone in a managerial position to insist that the people that they manage are doing important work, because it raises the profile/importance of their own position in turn?

I suppose this thought is probably an overly pessimistic viewpoint, but generally speaking, many people want to justify the importance of their work so they can continue to be employed - it seems logical that if you're job is to manage others, then a very big part of what your job actually is, is hyping up the importance of those peoples work to justify them needing a manager.
How is it any different?

You don't have privacy in what you do at work when it comes to your employer. That's why it's called privacy, it relates to private and personal things. Your work for someone else is, by definition, not private.

You don't get to push stuff into production and play coy about what you're pushing, do you? Why would that change when the employer is the public?
Common misconception. This would be so called mobile only as opposed to mobile first, which fits data to increasingly larger viewports.

I agree with you. I think our disagreement here is over the level of innocence of someone possessing AI generated CSAM.

If you believe, as I do, that such a person is guilty of a crime, then we're not risking the false guiltiness of an innocent person. At best, we're risking their level of sentencing. And I'm open to the idea of reduced sentences for AI CSAM, but it shouldn't be a factor in determination of guilt (i.e. it should be a matter between the judge and the defendant, rather than something the prosecution needs to prove).

With regards to CSAM criminalization in general, there is a real risk of punishing innocent people that may have been framed by planted evidence. But this is a risk regardless of whether the evidence is "real" CSAM or not, so legalizing possession of AI-generated CSAM doesn't reduce the risk of an innocent person being framed. It might make it "easier" for a bad actor to frame someone, since they can now do it with AI content instead of real content. But if they're already planting evidence, do they really care whether they're committing a crime while preparing the evidence? And besides, if we keep the AI content illegal, then it's equally legally risky to frame someone with it as it is to frame them with real content.

The problem of prosecuting "innocent" people, whether you believe they're innocent because they were framed or because they're only guilty of possessing AI-generated CSAM, should be addressed at the time of enforcement. Stop using entrapment and fishing expeditions as an enforcement mechanism. Only open investigations when they start with a real and identifiable victim, rather than a potential perpetrator.
Sometime on in this whole cycle and I still find LLM-prompts-as-the-interface extremely annoying. I have to pause and carefully think out the entirety of a task I want to do, I can’t just rely on a button being disabled or a confirmation dialog to realize I’m using a tool wrong. And then it usually does something bizarre and it’s hard to trace why it did that.

LLMs are still insanely impressive for things where I would normally have a free form conversation. (Summarization, expansion, paint an image) but the cases like Microsoft Copilot where using it to change a setting in windows is actually more annoying than just asking where that setting is located.

LLMs are the shittest version of a toolbar to me
Competition isn’t sufficient: there already are fat, lazy companies with expensive, crappy products today. Multiple players in an arena don’t necessarily lead to a better product emerging either. It can, for instance, create an oversaturated market that leads to unsustainable prices or costs and no one wins.
MDN is just simplifying and describing the browser from the web developer's perspective.

Browsers are not literally implemented in a single thread.

Javascript execution is determined by an event loop. Events are queued up by whatever means the browser implementer wants as long as there is only a single thread actually consuming the events. This is where the notion of being "single-threaded" originates. The web developer assigns handler functions to event listeners which are called by this consuming thread later when the event occurs.

This kind of concurrency is cooperative multitasking. The code is executed asynchronously, but not in parallel.

The renderer is the entry point since the HTML contains the CSS and JS tags. Generally speaking, the HTML is rendered line-by-line in the order the tags are written, but in practice there are some aspects that deviate from this such as the "async" and "defer" attributes for script tags as well as any HTML or CSS requiring network requests that cannot block rendering the rest of the page (img tags, url CSS values, etc.)

Naturally this ability to make network requests is implemented as a thread pool (at least on modern browsers), but any Javascript waiting on that would not execute until the event is consumed and its handler is called which preserves the illusion of being "single-threaded". As for loading images, fonts, etc. from CSS/HTML, the developer cannot control when they are loaded and rendered. Anything that really does need threads is handled by the browser already.

The UI for these things isn't good to use while driving. Music players with big storage have pretty poor ways to find what you're looking for even with a decent sized screen + keyboard (like youtube music on your phone or an ipod touch), let alone just a few buttons (like I had on my MP3 CD player or what this seems to have).

Even if you have a passenger running the device, you fall victim to them not knowing your music, not knowing how to find something, general decision paralysis, etc. I think some of these problems exist with satellite radio and terrible console UIs today.

I get it from a curiosity stand point, can I do this? And it is fun just to see if you can. As it turns out, it's not very practical compared to alternatives though.

The American gun industry has explicit immunities from lawsuits if people use their products for bad things, Apple does not. So the lawyers are going to spend their time going after the company that they can win a huge payout from, not the company that is simply immune to legal action.

Do you have any other suggestions? I'm not experienced
After any good functional language like F# or Scala (also CommonLisp but it's less straightforward to start doing meaningful practical things in), anything else feels uh. My first experience with Scala was a shock about how concise and how bug-free programming can actually be. You just write what you mean and as soon as it builds successfully, it works and does what you expected it to do. Scala is easier to start with for those accustomed to the curly braces style languages and allow limitless expression. F# looks and feels more cool (although less familiar/intuitive for the majority, necessarily requiring some introduction) anyway and doesn't incentivize wizardy. To me F# essentially feels like "better Python" while Scala obviously is "better Java".

Any good interactive visualization or gpio library also opens another dimension of joy. QuickBASIC with LPT (which did the GPIO's job back in the days) access and drawing functions was a lot of joy already.

I am going to give this Nature language a try anyway. It indeed doesn't look super special at the first glance so it probably has some meaningful coolness hidden deeper - this is intriguing.

Sometimes I think we need more verbosity in programming languages. Imagine you're new to programming and come across this,

- what the hell is fmt?
- what the hell is fn?
- int?
- n?
- printf? what is f?
- what is %d?

I know this probably isn't the crowd for this, but if my non-programmer friends curious about learning to code saw this they'd run for the hills. Sure this isn't a "learn to code" language, but a little verbosity is IMO not a bad thing: it is more humanist and can be self-documenting.
