Re: Anomaly 6 -

Providing two versions of the same sentence bit is not that uncommon in non-Japanese literature as well. For example, War and Peace in its original (Russian) language is sprinkled with French words and phrases, all duly translated via footnotes. This might not be as user-friendly as gikun as it requires glancing down and up the page a lot, but the idea is the same.

Even in spoken language mixing in foreign words often helps conveying nuances of what's being said. Some words don't exist in some languages or require longer phrasing or don't mean exactly that, etc. This sort of thing a very common in multi-lingual families.

So that "Anomaly 6" is not that much of an anomaly if you think about it.

I expect this is the case, if I had to describe that layout in iOS-land I'd also call it "masonry".

It's a pretty common descriptor in the Wordpress world - grids/scrapbooks will often have masonry as one of their layout styles. Maybe 100 years from now when people are browsing in their neurodisplay they'll be able to think "masonry" and have their photos tile the way they like, never having heard of Javascript or CSS in their lives. Language is neat like that.

I think Moby Dick is a romance. I guess the term is confusing in English because people think “love story” but an older use of the word just means a novel with adventure, chivalric elements.

There is also a giant implicit “for me” in your preference. It just happens that your preference happens to be one that is mainstream. A lot of types of reading are not linear —- for instance, if you have to read to write a book report, you have to go back, make notes, flip back and forth. A straight through reading will not produce a good book report.

I read non-fiction and also great books (of the western canon) and in order to really read to understand, I need to flip back and forth and take notes and engage with the text. My reading instructor always tells me, “good reading is re-reading.” Single pass reading works for entertainment reading, but not for deep reading. (By deep reading, I mean the kind of reading that is taught in Mortimer Adler’s book referenced above)

For deep reading you have to interact with the text, most commonly by debating with it in the margins. This is pretty standard for academic reading (say when taking a humanities or literature class). It’s a pretty common use case that eReaders don’t support.
Fortunately this is not the case here.

What can possibly go wrong if we let ChatGPT edit our DNA?
We switched my grandmother-in-law over to Linux last year and the amount of support calls I've had to do has dropped to 0. All she does is use chrome to check her email, and occasionally edit a document. A majority of the time she phoned for me to come 'fix her computer' it was just a Windows update that had reset some setting, or was trying to get her to sign up for a Microsoft account before she could log in, or some other obnoxious crap that made her think that her computer was broken.

We put her on Debian with Cinnamon as the DE, and downloaded a Windows 10 theme. We even put the Windows 10 logo as the start button. For her, she has 0 idea that she's even using Linux except for the fact that her computer doesn't randomly "break" anymore. All this with the added benefit that I can do remote support far more easily now.

The other huge benefit is when other relatives come over and start poking and prodding, it's far harder for them to do any damage. A few times I needed to 'fix' things was because her 60 year-old son (who knows nothing about computers, but is a medical doctor so he must know what he's doing) would come over and install a bunch of scammy antivirus software, change a bunch of settings, then leave proclaiming that the problem was "fixed". Switching to Linux has helped at keeping his fingers out of the pot immensely.

Thanks for the reply.

Actually, I ended up finding the answer to my question (“why doesn’t every assembly tutorial cover calling conventions on like, page 2?”), and it was because I was coming at this topic from a C perspective.

https://stackoverflow.com/a/17309038

“ If you're writing in assembly language, you can do whatever you want. It's only when you want to interact with some external code (maybe a library, maybe a system call) that you need to obey the calling convention.”
If you put it in / out of sleep mode juuuust right, you can trigger a bug (race condition?) where it doesn't turn the backlight on.
I'd love to see concrete examples of this that are actually horrible.

Whenever people complain about this kind of stuff, it always seems to be in extremely vague terms, like OP's "things related to race and so on." OK, what specifically are those things, and why are they a problem? "Different races exist" is not political opinion--it's a statement of fact that any kid can observe. Same with "Gay people exist"--that's not a political statement.

One can argue that (for example) mixing these topics up with the math curriculum is probably not a productive use of instruction time, and I'd agree with that. But I think we need to be more specific and concrete instead of vaguely complaining about teachers talking about "differences".

I have never seen a ThreeJS project as polished as this one. Everything was spot on! Pacing of the storytelling, difficulty of the puzzles, art style, synchronization of audio to events in the game... everything was just so good.

>I’ve taught mathematics for 30 years at the college level. I don’t know how a child should be taught an introduction to fractions.

Some of the best K-12 math teaching initiatives right now are run by college-level math profs who've observed deficiencies in incoming students in freshman level courses and have started volunteering their time at the K-12 level to help. See e.g., Anna Stokke's Archimedes Math program or the Navajo Math Circles program. It's not necessary to have an actual academic background in math education; some of the worst program designs come from that cohort, e.g., Lilijedahl's Building Thinking Classrooms and Boaler's YouCubed.

Yeah this is the issue with metals and likely the largest barrier to a post collapse society. Likely ironworking would end up looking like pre-industrial japan where iron was very extremely valuable and of relatively low quality compared to the west due to the problems with smelting it from iron sands.

Ada is memory safe if you just work with the stack or avoid Unchecked_Deallocation. Since functions can allocate and return entire arrays and other data structures completely on the stack, you don't need to mess with the heap that often (and when you do, you can also define your own memory pools).

If you have to use dynamic allocation, you could also use the built in container libraries or controlled types for additional safety.

Though if you want the kind of memory safety that Rust has, there's always SPARK (a subset of Ada).

I genuinely don't know what to make of this.

To the best of my knowledge, this alleged pro-Putin "Western Left" just... doesn't exist? The vast majority of "leftists" I know are against all kinds of authoritarianism - they hate Putin at least as much as they hate the failed US democracy. Especially in Europe leftists are the one calling for an EU-wide army for territorial protection - that would've been fairly helpful by now!

Sure, there are plenty of pacifists who just want the war to stop, or who are against direct involvement by non-UA troops, but I don't believe there's even a significant minority fraction who wants Ukraine to capitulate, broker a peace over the status-quo, or stop foreign aid.

I have heard criticism against a more direct involvement, but considering the track record of Korea, Vietnam, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Yemen, Iraq, and Syria, is it really all that surprising? You can't spend half a century sending people to die in far-away lands for profits or vague political goals and expect them to trust you that this time will be any different.

The Swiss vocational and university education system is based on a series of gates and passages. If you don't have "what it takes" to continue on your current trajectory, you are directed to another type of education. But "what it takes" is time-dependent. It often happens that someone does not have the grades to stay in school working towards a bachelor's because they don't yet have the maturity to see and make the connection between studying hard and achieving their goals. So they do a few years of vocational school and then have different opportunities to come back to university studies if that's where they are ready to be.

But that's the perfect scenario: there are abuses as well, where bosses use apprentices for crap work with little educational benefits to the apprentice.

That data doesn't actually counter-indicate what I'm saying, for a myriad reasons.

I'll name one obvious one: Homeschool parents are, at minimum, present in their child's education. Compare their numbers to public school parents who are also present in theirs.

Here's another obvious one: Most parents who are wildly deluded about those subjects don't homeschool, they just complain (and regionally, vote in representatives who will apply those delusions to the curriculum).
This is good advice. If you take your models of the world too seriously chances are you are in the process of programming yourself into a corner, as things get more complex.

Getting attached to your classes by writing a single superclass of The User™ is a sure way of missing out on the benefits of the typesystem and create coupling where there should be none.

Knowing where to couple things and where to decouple things is one of those hard programming issues, but one that might be even more important than naming things.
That's correct. A fascinating topic is how the written representation shapes the user's language, and, by association, their thinking - a written word version of teh Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis if you will. For example, for the aliens in the (story and) movie Arrival, was their superior all-temporal thinking capability due to their language, or their interesting written form?

Interesting personal anecdote: My son is learning French in school, he's native in both English and Turkish, but not very good with Turkish spelling and does not use it often. I've seen him struggle with memorizing French words and their pronunciation, because he doesn't have an alternative phonetic representation of them (he doesn't know IPA, naturally :-). But Turkish spelling is (almost 100%) phonetic and I remembered that's how I memorized English when I was kid, I would think about their pronunciation in Turkish! E.g. cheese would be "çiyz".
The status quo can go on indefinitely. Taiwan gains almost nothing from actual independence. Chinese people don't seem to think of Taiwan unless it's brought up; they've already declared themselves the winner of the civil war and the whole world legally agrees. In dynastic times, China had many tributary states who acknowledged the power of China but otherwise went about their own business, and the current status quo is not far from that.

I am unaware of this. Where can one find these audiobooks?
Maybe not the best names, but I've taken to calling them Western Arabic, Arabic Arabic, and Persian or Urdu Arabic.

Unfortunately, I don't see that ever happening.

As jobs get lost to automation, unemployment will increase, and eventually our economy will collapse.

Even if your McDonalds is automated, they're still going to charge you $15 for that meal. In the fast food world, labor is typically ~20% of the cost, so even if they reduce prices because labor is no longer a factor (they won't, after all, because they already know you'll pay $15 for your meal), it'd only reduce the price to $12.

That's not a fragile base, that's just a fragile class. You can break APIs for all kinds of users, including derived classes.

Some APIs are aimed towards derived classes, like protected members and virtual functions, but that doesn't make the issue fundamentally different. It's just breaking APIs.

Point is, in C++ you have to opt-in to make these API surfaces, they are not the default.
Three things about that stat (you'll get varying numbers for it, by the way, from different sources):

* First, obviously, it's an average (you get it by simply dividing the total budget by the total number of enrolled students) across the entirety of Chicago, which is a huge city with schools that have wildly different challenges.

* It's risen sharply in the last few years as CPS has attempted interventions of varying credibility --- for instance, by drastically expanding the number of school counselors. So it's not really accurate to say that CPS has tried the experiment of spending $30k/student and arrived at this outcome; the jury isn't yet out on it. More than $10k of the "per student cost" probably falls into that bucket.

* Something like 15% of this expense is pension. That's bad, but it's not really a policy lever CPS has to play with, either.
Doesn't this partly come down to how you define most books? Like yeah, if you go to a bookstore and look at the shelves you are seeing the books that the store thinks are going to sell, not the thousands of books they chose not to stock. Most books (as in the individual physical books) created in a given year are going to be a relatively small number of best sellers.
