I'm just speaking to the idea of PC gaming has worked around cheaters, as if its a solved problem. PC gaming has such a massive cheating problem games are resorting to rootkit-like anticheat systems and yet there's still tons of cheaters out there. It is precisely because there's so much freedom out of the box on a PC that cheating flourishes there.

Blocking controllers isn't a rootkit, I agree. But acting like PC gaming has somehow solved cheating without needing restrictions on input devices and the like is disingenuous.

Blocking controllers makes the cost to have a hacked controller higher. It takes more effort to make a useful hacked controller, they have to source already built controllers and tear them apart, etc. Higher costs means it will be less likely to have people using hacked controllers. If you make the ownership of hacked controllers lower, you reduce the rate of cheating on the platform.

Using cheats on a lot of PC games can be free. If there was some magic that made the cost to install a cheat at least $100 do you think the rate of cheating will be lower, higher, or the same?

The goal isn't to eliminate all cheating, that's impossible. The goal is to reduce the rate of cheating.

The prevailing opinion in government is that services are better when they are organised locally.

This is obviously wasteful and results in duplication and hundreds of organisations (e.g. councils) all doing the same thing in a different way.

The idea of believing things without evidence is a dangerous pattern to fall into. It may not matter as you say, if you don't see evolution as most likely correct, but if your mind is willing to accept things without proper evidence, you are going to be a shill.
I thought from the intro that it was going to call bullshit on this whole story, but they chickened out in the end.

EVs, batteries and electricity are getting cheaper, cleaner and better over time. There's only one way this ends and everyone knows it.
Entry to medical school is also extremely competitive in Western Europe and there are also limits on number of places in some countries. And there are shortages of doctors as well.

I don't think that's key.

In Europe healthcare tends to be socialised and heavily regulated so that I would argue that average salaries are kept "artificially" low.

Medical services are highly valued by society for obvious reasons, and the level of required training is extremely high. If the market was left to its own devices I have little doubt that doctors in Europe would earn much more than they do now. Of course that does not mean that healthcare would be better on average, in fact most likely the opposite, but the question is about doctors' income.
I read r/teachers every few days.

Yesterday, there was a teach complaining that they weren't allowed to flunk students who did not show up for class. For middle school. They weren't allowed to flunk students who scored 0% on tests, because they would sit at the back of class and play on smartphones the entire time, or disruptively talk to other students.

When they would demand from administration some kind of answer, they'd be told they weren't doing enough to engage the students.

You claim there are minimum standards, and technically that's true... any of us could look those standards up on the internet in only a moment, those standards are ignored for some incredibly large fraction of public schools.

> If homeschools had surprise inspections and biannual state-run testing, I'd be fine with it.

The great thing is, I don't have to put up with you being fine with how my wife and I teach our children. We don't have to answer to you.

I'm not just a contrarian here. You are fine with what the public schools are doing, right now. Your oversight, such as it is, doesn't seem to be effective at doing any of the things that I could want. It does lead me to be suspicious about what it is that you want.
(If you disagree, don't just click the down arrow, argue your point.)
Does this help at all with the issue of deploying the root CA cert on every device that will interact with services with these certs deployed? That seems to me to be the hardest part about running an internal CA. You've got to put it on everyones laptops as well as all your servers.
Making Connections in 3D Heterogeneous Integration
Honestly, not much! I also run PyCharm, Slack, Firefox, and other things. This does get the fans spinning from time to time but no so much to make it a complete deal breaker. When it happens I may open task manager and see what's up in case there's something odd going on.
Many argue (and I agree) that they didn’t really try. They released a first version and then basically stopped. It was not iterated on to improve functionality (unless you want to count making it smaller to add an escape key). It was not brought to the desktop, nor to all laptops, so it fragmented their market.

Compare this to their horribly unreliable butterfly keyboard. They iterated on that design many times before scrapping it.
The AI can send the outreach messages, and then AI can respond. Then we can all go and retire on a beach while the AI's just bounce off of each ad infinitium.
Also people forget that quote is from the 70s. Almost 50 years go.

Programming used to be very different from what it is now. "Premature optimization" wasn't "hey just use this popular lib cause it scales", it was "let's use some impossible to understand bit fiddling algorithm that only works on this piece of hardware".

You think you already have dementia and it is causing poor sleep?
Try reading the git logs of some of the bigger open source projects (especially the Linux kernel).

Those really show why those commit messages are useful to figure out why things were done the way they were ("what the dev was thinking"). This is especially useful if some kind of bug is found 2 years later and someone who wasn't involved in the original change needs to fix it.

> You have to have the concept and structure in your head, it's just writing the code for it.

"Ok, the first thing on your list you gave me was a database to store the data. What would the structure of that database look like?"

"Can you give me the code to create that database?"

> A breakaway group tried to insert a “classical education” curriculum on the school, which is a popular trend in more right-wing Christian schools that was adopted from homeschool curriculum.

To be clear, a 'classical education' refers to a traditional form of education where you break up a child's education into grammar, logic, and rhetoric stages and then mainly use primary sources. There's nothing wrong with this system and it was likely the way many people, including Marx, were educated. The idea that this is 'right wing' is bonkers to me.

> it is absolutely never the governments place to tell a parent what they are allowed to teach their child

Essentially everyone in America agrees with you. This is written into our Constitution.

> It is not the responsibility of the state, in any way, shape, or form, to dictate information to a child that the parents take issue with

This is an impossible standard. We have to make public schooling available, and we can't provide individual tutors for every student, so they must be taught in groups. This guarantees that some students will be taught things that their parents take issue with. To compensate for this we make some escape hatches available like homeschooling, private schooling, or moving to a different school district, but these are all difficult or impossible for most parents. Some schools have offered to let parents take their kids out of class when certain topics are taught, but this approach can't scale to all subjects and topics. It also can't address parents upset about what their child is NOT being taught.

I'm not aware of any educational model that gives all parents complete control over their children's education.

>Reliability is not an issue with with HTTP or TCP.

We seem to be confusing what reliable means here. Yes, HTTP/TCP can reliably transmit data in the fact that if packets are missed they will be resent so that you can be assured that the data will eventually be delivered. However, that doesn't do well for real time streaming of data that is necessary to be received in order. That's why UDP was made.

>If it were up to me to design a streaming protocol like DASH, HLS, Flash, or SmoothStreaming I'd instantly choose mp4 (or plain elementary streams). I wouldn't even consider TS or PS unless some spec forced me to.

Well, it's a good thing we didn't have to wait for you to come around and design a streaming protocol and we've been able to use it for the past ~20 years with the technology that was available at the time. Perfect is the enemy of progress.
I've worked a lot with C++, and a small to moderate amount with Rust. I tend to prefer Rust when given the choice.

Comparing the overall complexity levels is something of a category error, though. Most of the complexity of Rust is in the core functionality, idioms, and conventions of the language. You'll need to grapple with most of that complexity very early.

Most of the complexity of C++ is in the various functionality that was either inherited from C or accumulated over the decades after that. Most individual pieces of software don't use all of that. E.g. approximately nothing will use both va_list and variadic templates (ok, maybe indirectly through libraries, but not in a way the direct author needs to think about). The latter is just a better way of accomplishing what the former does. There are lots of variations on this theme.

My sense is that, in practice, Rust has a steeper learning curve than C++. I find it more productive now that I'm pretty familiar with it, so I think it's worth that steeper learning curve. I still think it's a bit steeper.

This is something that I struggle with a lot with the mainstream engineering literature currently available that has a lot of empiricism packaged with opinions, especially folks who worked only in some specific setups in terms of demographics (e.g. SF and USA generally) and resources (e.g. FAANG companies, Mid-Caps, companies with infinite amount of money pre-2021).
