Show HN: CS2Mulch – Physical Manipulative for Data Structures
Hey all, I teach CS at a SLAC in Arkansas. My students were regularly struggling to put the abstract concepts from data structures lectures into code, so a few years ago I created these decks of cards and chits to help them out.

Now we can shuffle the decks and deal out cards to quickly create new individual examples for each structure; being able to physically manipulate the cards to carry out the algorithms starts to make everything click for them and is an easy way to catch misunderstandings early. Students can also use Tabletopia or print their own cards, everything is creative commons licenced.

My favorites are cuckoo hashing and red-black trees, and the repo is open for pull requests for adding more, thanks for checking it out!
This is a great question! The short answer is by maintaining backwards compatibility in your schema--it's basically the easiest way to guarantee compatibility. We have warnings in place to let you know when you've made a change that isn't backwards compatible, you can read about it in our docs: https://www.triplit.dev/docs/schemas/updating#pushing-the-sc...

However, overtime this can naturally lead to a mess of a schema definition that has a lot of confusing names. We haven't released a solution to fix this yet but we're working on a few things that should make this less painful. For background on the various approaches, the Cambria doc is an amazing resource: https://www.inkandswitch.com/cambria/
I’d say Korea is similar. One of the best public transit systems in the world in Seoul, yet everyone aspires to own a car.

Those huge skyscraper apartment complexes you see everywhere in the Seoul skyline? They’re sitting atop enormous underground parking garages.

That’s not to say everyone drives everywhere everyday. The awesome public transit system is indeed heavily utilized. But people still want the freedom that comes with owning a personal automobile.
I seriously hope not. But I do wonder how it affects Material 3 on Flutter Web.

I wonder if they are still merging Wiz and Angular.

From March, 29 at https://blog.angular.dev/angular-and-wiz-are-better-together...

> Our long-term goal is to gradually and responsibly merge Angular and Wiz over the coming years. Our strategy is to steadily open source Wiz features via Angular and follow our open model of development, allowing the community to both influence the roadmap and plan accordingly. We’ll use the public RFC process to ensure we gather community feedback on the relevant proposed features. The primary goal is to improve the Angular framework.

That would pretty much immediately put a stop to "move fast an break things," which would be a good thing. Software engineer culture is pretty terrible because quality is optional and a matter of personal preference.

Nuclear energy exit did not lead to more coal consumption - that was due to sudden switching off of Russian gas in response to their illegal war of aggression against Ukraine.

In the end, there is exactly ONE reason why Germany really went through with leaving nuclear and it is not the anti-nuclear crowd. It is simply cost and money in the face of much cheaper, less risky and heavily abundant renewable energy.

You cannot make an argument for building new plants which will take 10-20 years of realization and billions of Euros when nobody is going to insure it and when we can add massive amounts of MWh of cheap, reliable and safe energy in the mean time.

It is economically irresponsible and makes no sense at all. The mistake of leaving nuclear before coal was made long ago, and yes it was a mistake based on anti-nuclear ideology. But it is equally irrational to try and fix that now in face of clearly better alternatives. You have to actively deny cost analysis data and developments in energy tech over the last decade to keep arguing for nuclear power.

There is no German national security without European national security. Everything revolves around NATO and deepening military partnerships with neighbours (e.g. Germany and the Netherlands have a bunch of shared, integrated units).

There is no EU military, but there are mutual defense pacts, and the development of a real EU military is something that is being pushed for by Germany.

No, but add ~5 years to master it if you are a decent academic performer, then additional few years to learn how to scale it up. Some folks could master it faster but most would likely fail due to the lack of commitment. There is also a bunch of folks that still live in RNN days and cast evil eyes at anyone who uses transformers (hello Jürgen!), so one has to consistently update their knowledge to be relevant (CS25 could help there).

This is a pretty limited view of mortgages. In varies across countries, but in the U.S. a (relatively) low APR fixed rate 30 year mortgage is an amazing way to utilize leverage (only put up ~20% collateral) on an appreciating asset.

Paying $400,000 for a mortgage vs paying $80,000 and 6% over 30 years, but investing the remaining $320,000 in the stock market (returning ~7% after inflation) and your housing payment grows much slower than inflation.

That doesn't mean every mortgage is a good idea, or there aren't circumstances where the borrower ends up losing out, but it's a tool that can be utilized if you learn to understand it.

but then you need computers and software, and those things change with time. you don't need anything but sunlight and your eyes to read a physical copy of a book.

Regardless of whether or not it is vile, it is basic game theory. You have to play the game with the rules that exist, not the ones you wish existed.

The rule is freedom of movement across the USA, so it is obviously a losing policy for any government other than the federal government to tackle national problems and implement wealth redistribution.
If we're going to assess Germany's energy policy - and the title of the article suggests we are - then their domestic energy generation is quite meaningful. It'd be like a country importing all their manufactured goods - that would reflect badly on a country's manufacturing sector even if their overall quality of life was high.

Although in the case of Germany I'll be impressed if their QoL stays high. The trends are bad.
Nuclear is a legacy technology which is on the way out. German society didn't want to be stuck with it and footing a tremendous bill for subsidizing and later dismantling the technology in the end. Pretty much all industrialized countries with the exception of China is going in the same direction.
I’m always fascinated by the nuance of biographies. The big events are, of course, interesting, but I often find myself drawn to the more mundane, or unrelated-to-rise-to-fame, aspects that blend into someone’s life story when creating something like a Wikipedia blurb or summary. Before X worked as an insurance adjuster for Y years until Z happened. People like Alan Rickman come to mind. I never knew Phil Hartman did this type of work and for some pretty well known bands. Very cool
As I said, the decommissioning of the Nuclear reactors was a stupid idea. My point above was that people who feel they must be "team nuclear" often like to overstate how stupid it was with comments like yours.
Yes, this is how it works in many countries. There may be a waiting period if you resign, but you can still get unemployment benefits.
Yes, but with limits. How to prevent job hopping just to stay on benefits? Taking a paid vacation before the next job? I see opportunities for abuse.

In the United States at least, AFAIK, employers pay for unemployment. Who pays when the employee voluntarily separates from an employer? It seems unfair to make the employer pay for an employee who left and no longer works there. I presume that cost will be paid by the state, which as a taxpayer I am curious how to prevent fraud and abuse.

I see that states require a certain amount of employment before a person becomes eligible for benefits. Maybe changing that?

The App That Bullies You into Success
Generally yes.

I am not sure how UI works (which of course entitles me to spout my opinion), but a system where it draws from a pool based off work history could be the middle ground solution.

If they are going to base your unemployment on your past pay, they might as well also base it on your past history.

To get to my point: if you work for a long period then quit / fired, you should have a bigger pool you can tap into for any reason. If you work for short periods then quit, you should have a smaller pool which trends to near-zero if you never stay at a place for long. If you work for short periods then get laid off, you should have the standard pool (ie: you shouldn't be unfairly punished through no fault of your own besides maybe being unlucky / bad at picking jobs).

I am paying into it regardless, I should be able to choose to be able to tap into it.

It disincentives people jumping on and off UI constantly on their own free-will but it gives a cushion to those who are burnt or needing to transition to a new field.
This is neat. But wondering what the power draw for something like this would be?
Should or shouldn't, it doesn't seem to matter to the state of California. Whomever is admining UI doesn't care. We've had people quit, fired with cause (and in legal proceedings), one who was literally incarcerated shortly after they quit, one who was arrested at work for fraud (and was wearing uniform in their mugshot to boot), and all of them got their claims accepted regardless of what we said.

So, our policy is to not fight anything, ever. Not worth the time.

So buy it elsewhere? All I hear are excuses and why the current situation is someone else's fault, either previous governments or other countries because they wouldn't just shut up and die so Germany can have cheaper energy. Which they use to overproduce stuff and dump it in the rest of the EU, while calling everyone else lazy. Here's a hint, if your economy doesn't work unless you have the lowest energy prices in history, it's broken and needs to change.

Triethylborane −20 °C (−4 °F): It looks like something that you could find in Titan, but I don't remember reading about that. The structure is not so weird, and there are some similar molecules with nitrogen instead of boron. I don't remember massive natural production of organic molecules with boron, but boron chemistry is very weird and well above my chemistry level.

Silane 21 °C (70 °F): It would be more strange to have too many organic molecules with silicon.

Phosphorus (white) 34 °C (93 °F): I don't think it's stable enough to be acumulated naturay. It's too energetic and I expect it to react with some of the molecules in Titan.
