It happens but it’s quite rare that someone is in a situation where going that much faster than normal is actually a good trade (more likely that they’ll crash or get t-boned running a red light).

You could probably work with that by shifting the risk back to the driver: allow the override to work by disabling the entertainment system (few boy racers like driving in silence) and have it blink the lights, play a warning over the external speakers, and text the local emergency number to alert them. If you have a buddy bleeding out in the back seat, you will welcome the attention and the cops are going to escort you to the hospital.
Why would you trust a list of papers and books on online trust from some rando online?
There isn’t any way we can make being copied opt-in, rather than opt-out. We can not copy things. But we can’t prevent other people from copying things. So, it is better to set the expectation that things will be copied, otherwise people will be mislead into thinking they can delete their content, and will post things they regret.

Plus, if everyone can delete their mistakes, we’ll live in a world where it looks like nobody makes mistakes, and so we’ll be less tolerant of mistakes.
It’s nonsense because this is a public high school, government mandated and paid for by taxes.
Did the one you hate include Duo? That’s the only one I’m using that is not TOTP based. But eventually I find a way to get the secret and generate the 2-factor myself.

I agree with you about using a password manager to solve these kind of problems. One thing people don’t understand is we have collaborators that need to deploy to a Chile desert where the environment is so bad that your mobile phone would likely die there. (It’s not recommended to bring one anyway.) So all these solutions requiring a 2nd device, usually a mobile phone, is very annoying. The most annoying part is that these security policy is enforced by central university who don’t care about the requirements of a research project.

But frankly, even if there’s a way to do it with a password manager (using site computing for example so no mobile is necessary), this is not presented as the way to use MFA, and some would consider it a breach of security.
> I have had small accidents in the past and learned from them.

Maybe if you had AEB and FCW you wouldn't have had those accidents in the first place. Or did you not have working feet and eyes at the time and only recently got those installed? You even acknowledged you've had multiple collisions, did you not learn when getting your license? Did you not learn on the first accident? How many collisions should be expected for people to learn?

I'll be more clear. If your AEB is engaging while driving on the roads, you're probably driving unsafely. If you're worried about your AEB triggering often, you should probably adjust your driving because it's probably pretty unsafe.

I'll grant there's probably a few models with twitchy AEB systems, but almost every overly sensitive AEB I've ever heard about is either a Tesla with phantom braking or overly sensitive in tight parking conditions, which once again shouldn't really be a safety problem as that should be low speed. And even then those are really only a few older models, anything made in the last several years seems pretty solid to me from the several cars I've driven with it.
Skip the middle, go to linear algebra for both.

A solid foundation in linear algebra with proofs (instead of the horror that is high school geometry) will prepare both routes substantially better.
Yeah, I feel that. Usually I have like a 2 hour coding block planned with something new/interesting, so it would end up being more of a workshop, like e.g. here’s how to build a really quick cron job for our k8s cluster or whatever. I tend to keep an eye out for little ~2 hour tasks that would be interesting and just save them for those blocks.

Aside from that, ego is a lot more about attitude than action. If you remain inquisitive/curious/accepting/etc. then you won’t be seen as cocky.

Also, just a reminder if you’re in an advanced position then showing off your coding skills is less about ego and more about helping. I had a boss early on point out to me (much to my surprise) that the programmers sitting around me were drowning trying to put together even simple solutions to their problems, and I had the ability to save them hours with just a few minutes of attention. Obviously you can only take that so far, but it gave me a lot of confidence to know I could help folks out.
One thing that stood out in university was learning the algebra version to so many basic math formulas in any field, whether it might be physics, math, biology, chemistry, or most anything.

As for your use case, sometimes, some people are hired to not understand things.

Welcome to use.
My kids are now college age, but when they were in K-12, I looked up common core, since the standards are published in several states. Honestly it looked quite a lot like the math that I learned in school, give or take. I took exactly the same school math subjects.

The one noticeable difference was that my kids did virtually no proofs. When I was in school, my district used a "new math" curriculum that introduced sets in first grade, and included derivations and proofs. (I'd call a derivation a lightweight proof). High school geometry was almost 100% proofs, and it was a class that a lot of students remembered as their favorite.

My kids: No proofs. They solved lots of problems where they were expected to inspect a problem, choose an algorithm, then crunch through it to an answer.

Proofs were what made math come alive for me. I could crunch numbers in science class, or on a computer, as I learned programming in 11th grade. I ended up majoring in math, and then added a physics major as well.

Math is an extremely confusing and fraught topic for parents, because we all viscerally know it's important for some reason, but nobody can really put their finger on why. Some parents treat it as a form of obedience training, or expect that it will magically confer special thinking skills. We know math is a sorting hat for getting into vaunted STEM programs in college.

Very few people use their school math after they finish school. In school, it's treated as a tournament, to reach "levels" and get good "scores." Many of the brightest kids are repelled by this. I would have been.

The college math topics are the same as they've been for 50 years. A number of years ago, in between jobs, I taught an introductory math course at a Big Ten university, and the students didn't touch a computer for the entire course. My office didn't have a network connection.

If it were up to me, I'd add a lot more computation and data work to K-12 math. And I'd bring back proofs. I envision a balance of four quadrants, not in any particular sequence, but perhaps in a cycle:

1. Arithmetic, which is symbol manipulation up through calculus

2. Computation, which is using computers to solve problems

3. Working with data

4. "Theory" which I associate with proofs and abstract topics

My advice as a parent is, first, be prepared for them to follow their own interests. This might include not being interested in math. Be prepared to help them deal with the competition, and to not let it cause them to lose interest. Next, treat it as something interesting and fun at home, separate from grinding through problems.
I finished the AP Calc path my junior year, but was told colleges would still expect to see a 4th year, so I signed up for AP Stat.

It was mind-numbing how easy it was by comparison. We got to the end of the semester and I realized we'd only just reached some of the principles from the first week of calculus. I don't remember why he was so proud to point out that we could now calculate derivatives (it was a long time ago), but I was thoroughly unimpressed.

By the second semester, I had my college acceptance letter, so I didn't bother with the other half.
Not a course, but the best resource I've found for UI design is the Windows 2000 interface guidelines book: https://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Windows-Experience-Professi... . It lays out everything (big and small) that made older Windows versions nice to use in an easy to digest format.
> And storing my TOTP code in the same password manager I use to store my GitHub password is not more of an MFA than using the password alone.

Of course it is. Unlocking your passwords in KeepassXC isn't MFA in this context because it's completely orthogonal to phishing, brute force attacks, and data breaches. OTPs are far from great but help with all three, no matter where you store them.

Learning to teach is very different than learning, let alone first principles learning for children.

Having basic understanding, then skills, then competency to remember and test via assessment in that order can be missing even for graduates.

Universities focus on teaching young adults how to teach children.

The rest of the world as adults don’t learn how children do.
I think it would actually make sense as, say, an art elective or something.

My school required six credits of some kind of art (music, visual arts, performing arts), and I can't think of any great reason this would be less worthy than any other kind of niche art class.

Thank you for replying.

I am now at the limits of my understanding...

I only ran Ubuntu as a desktop daily driver for a year or so, and I'm a muggle, so my understanding is limited. But, is there any real-world data on how often desktop Linux users run the equivalent of:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt dist-upgrade

versus the more automated update systems MacOS or Windows ?

I am genuinely curious which ecosystem is more likely to be up to date. In my limited experience, I ran into issues updating on Ubuntu, and have not on MacOS and Windows. It seems like MacOS does it best as most applications come via the App Store, and on Windows that's in the future leaving most apps to take care of their own updates. However, Windows makes up for that a little bit with excellent, and auto-updated EPP, so that's something at least.

In your view, which desktop OS is most likely to be up to date for OS and apps?
The article doesn't mention it but I very much believe the proxy was Nginx with a Lua plug-in. It works very well for this kind of usage.

Thanks for posting this - I only noticed your reply now. Exactly this. Installing inverters for my own projects is what really highlighted the amp/volts/gaugerelationship. I quickly moved to 24V and will push for 48V for my next. As an aside I use Victron gear which I'm very happy with. Biggest install is for a film van and has dual 5KW inverters that can deliver 8KW continuous - and it's a 24V system.
> If they can’t get the statistics right, how can we expect it from teachers with far less education?

Because it’s their job—and if the statistics curriculum is mandatory, then the teachers might spend inservice days developing statistics curriculum, going to workshops to learn how to teach statistics, etc. Teachers will develop statistics curriculums and share them with each other. With NSF grants, you can fund teacher outreach programs, put statistics exhibits in science museums, etc.

A lot of teachers will struggle to teach various subjects. That’s why we have support networks in place, to help develop curriculums and provide training for teachers. I know that the support network has a lot of problems—but many teachers would struggle to teach, say, biology, history, or algebra, too, without support.
What a treat it was listening to two legends talk with great passion about software they made 30 years ago.

I absolutely loved their answer to a question regarding better enemy AI, which boiled down to “better enemy AI doesn’t automatically make for a more fun game”. (they put fun and player experience first and aren’t tricked by shiny new toys)

We are building a smart bookmark manager for Chrome. Need your feedback
Hi hackers. We (at Vidura Labs) are working on an amazing alternative to standard browser bookmarks that can smartly organize, and visualizes bookmarks, so that your brain can easily follow, rather than searching through a heap of objects(like in traditional bookmarks).

It is a chromium extension that lets you bookmark any web site, automatically tags it and puts it into the right folder (or creates one).

That is not the end of story. You can visualize bookmarks as a dynamic memory graph grouped by categories. So, when you look at it, you know where to find something quickly. Also, by clicking on graph, you visit the bookmark. All this data is stored in your browser, respecting your privacy.

See here: https://imgur.com/a/0nLGJCw

What do you think ? Can our extension improve your browsing experience ?
Where I grew up, that was called being polite and it didn’t automatically rule out anything other that liberalism. There’s a ton of room between disagreement and harassment.
The 8 hour work day: created for physical laborers, extended to paper-pushers, and forced onto creative workers along with productivity-sapping random meetings.

The current white collar worker paradigm is proof that capitalism is inherently inefficient. The theory that a business will naturally optimize for efficiency does not survive a meeting with human culture, which has nothing at all to do with organizational efficiency, and everything to do with repetition, imitation, resistance to change, and the easiest short-term path. If you want to get more productivity out of a human, you need to do more than just tell them what time to arrive and go home.

Helping kids engage with literature they enjoy seems a lot worthier of my tax dollars than, say, teaching cursive.
The curriculum consists of reviewing the history of comic books, reading a lot of comic strips, and watching several graphic novel driven movies such as Superman and Watchmen.

It is a consumption course. Kids don’t actually learn how to write graphic novels. That might actually might be worthwhile.
for the general populace, good arithmetic, with a smattering of practical geometry and trigonometry should be the focus for more years of education.

Phabricator and Gerrit both do a really good job of this. To me Git works fine as a pure "version control" system, but the process of collaborating on a branch before it gets merged into a shared branch seems to be beyond the scope of version control -- something that a higher layer tool is ideal for.

My first real stats course was a 300-level engineering stats class that kicked my ass pretty well.

The class had a calc 3 prereq I found the computation generally the easiest part. Truly grasping the topic takes patience and work but it's pretty rewarding. That said, it must be difficult to find genuinely insightful instructors who can make the material remotely interesting because good god it's necessary.
FYI, bookmarks have always been a silo to me. I like to use multiple browsers so it's always hard to keep them all up to date. My wish is to have a way to easily access the latest version no matter what browser or OS I use.

Elon Musk allows controversial conspiracy theorist Alex Jones back on X

https://www.npr.org/2023/12/10/1218453370/elon-musk-allows-c...

Jones generated controversy for spreading false, wild conspiracies, claiming that a "New World Order" was sacrificing children on a California compound; that the U.S. government had "weather weapons" that triggered catastrophes like major floods; and that FBI Director Robert Mueller was a demon.

Shortly after being formally re-instated on X, Jones and Musk joined Vivek Ramaswamy, Laura Loomer (a self-described "proud Islamophobe" who has been banned from some platforms) and others in a live chat on Sunday.

"I'm telling you they want us silenced for what we said," said Jones.

The conversation covered a series of, at times, confusing topics including the "deep state" and the threats that the participants perceived to masculinity.

Adding Andrew Tate to the mix solidifies Musk as the Salt Bae of “Go fuck yourself. Go. Fuck. Yourself.”

I’d just add to this excellent comment that, when I was in school a few decades ago, we also did essentially no proofs. Geometry was presented as rote memorization (as was pre-calc). I was utterly unprepared for college physics and differential equations (the mathy freshman CS courses) as a result - I struggled to figure out how to build on equations to find new solutions, and struggled with understanding the logical rules of things like Scheme.

I wish we had had a more proof-based math education in high school. But I’m also unconvinced that the quality of math teachers in this country is up to that task (though maybe I just had a string of really mediocre ones, punctuated with a couple exceptions).
Teachers not being skilled enough for a high school subject is not a problem in 2023.

By the time the curriculum gets reformed, it'll be like 2025. By which time students can ask GPT5 for any statistics question.

Statistics is so unbelievably broadly useful at low levels, compared to calculus. Understanding

2. Normal distribution + standard deviation
3. Central limit theorom

Anybody who cares that much is very likely already compiling their own kernels (I speak for myself here). It doesn't make sense for distros to do the extra work to support it.

Just expanding on this a bit: my Debian laptop has a Kconfig with modules disabled that only includes the exact set of drivers it needs. It takes ten minutes to rebuild on the laptop when I pull from git. Even if Debian did all the work to let me automatically install the latest vanilla kernel... I'd still build it myself.
