I would assume the solution is to run your code through multiple compilers/toolchains - in dev, CI can run the certified compiler to make sure your code stays compatible with it, but also through modern clang/gcc with every linter and static analysis tool you can think of. Then for the "official" prod builds you use the certified compiler. Automated testing should probably use both, and even compare the behavior of binaries from each chain to look out for bugs that only exist in one. That way you get most of the benefits of both worlds (not all, since you can only write code that all compilers can handle).
This would have made a good addition to the (in)famous WAT talk:

It doesn't really count when they:

1. Have access to immense amounts of data about these products that the manufacturers don't. Because they own the marketplace.

2. Can freely advertise, push, or even force their own products as much as possible. Because they own the marketplace.
What do you mean by "tethering an iPhone to a PC"? iPhone Mirroring does not grant the iPhone any privileges to data on the Mac, as far as I know.

Also, there are two orthogonal concerns at play here: Companies generally don't want personal devices (at least those not covered by MDM) to hold company data, but companies also might not want to inadvertently hold personal data of their employees.

There has been a strong decline in coal usage in the last years, both because the CO2 prices have started to move the balance and also because the buildup of renewables has been accelerated again.

>> We ban books, scrutinize classroom libraries, demonize librarians, and demoralize teachers.

How true are these allegations?

For example, book banning. This source mentions that some books get banned from libraries: https://www.ala.org/bbooks/book-ban-data. But i assume all of these books can be obtained via a bookstore or online retailer. Even if someone argues that it puts books out of reach because of price, I cannot believe that since one can get used books from what for as little as $3-5, or 15 minutes of googling can give them access to PDFs and epubs to tens of thousands of public domain books or millions(?) pirated books that can be read on tablets and phones which have saturated everyone's hands.

I understand that removing books from a library is bad in principle. But pragmatically I can't see a problem with books being made in accessible.

OG.
If you perceive this as "abrasive", "one-sided", or "attacking", that was a quite intentional effect.

The whole point is that if you read something like that and all you glean is "this guy doesn't like Python", rather than "I will take those results into consideration if and when appropriate", you stunt your own ability to learn new information.

It reminds me of the book The Scout Mindset.
Having the desire to be able to choose doesn’t change the available choices. This seems to be a false equivalency.

> books that give voice to the experiences of people who look and live like the young readers in my classroom

This is the change that has left a reader like me stranded on an alien shore. I never in my life looked for this kind of identity or connection in what I read. It never occurred to me that any book would be about someone like me and I never sought it out. Ironically this change means it is hard for me to relate to modern readers which is something I do sometimes hope to do.
Hey Juan, this looks promising - using a pre-shared schema would allow you to reduce payload sizes in the same way using pre-shared dictionaries makes compression more efficient (such as with zstd or brotli). Having worked on exactly this space in the past (sending and receiving messages from a microcontroller that eventually go through an Iridium SBD modem), some feedback:

After spending a few minutes poking around your landing page, I'm not sure how JSON BinPack works. I see a JSON Schema, a JSON document and then a payload, but I'd be interested in the low level details of how I get from a schema to a payload. When I'm on a microcontroller, I'm going to care quite a bit about the code that has to run to make that, and also the code that's receiving it. Is this something I could hand-jam on the micro, and then decode with a nice schema on the receiving side? Understanding the path from code and data to serialized payload would be important to me.

One thing that was nice about using ProtocolBuffers for this was that I had libraries at hand to encode/decode messages in several different languages (which were used) - what is the roadmap or current language support?

I can understand how ProtocolBuffers handles schema evolution, but I'm still not sure how JSON Schema evolution would work with JSON BinPack. An example would move mountains.

Finally, if I were digging into this and found it had switched from Apache to AGPL, and required a commercial license, it would be a hard sell vs all the permissively licensed alternatives. At the end of the day, Iridium SBD messages are like 270 bytes and even hand rolling a binary format is pretty manageable. I think I could swing budget for support, consulting, maintenance or some other service. But if I were evaluating this back when I needed a serialization format, and ran into AGPL, I would bounce almost immediately.
These threads often end up, with everyone trying to prove they are literary scholars.

Good point. I have to admit, I have some disdain for academic literary criticism, and I care very little about reading/liking the books one is "supposed" to like. Now of course I do in fact like some of those books, just by happenstance. But I don't define myself by seeking out the "blessed" books and reading and endorsing them.

And I like a lot of "low brow" / pulp-fiction stuff. Lots of horror (Dean Koontz, Stephen King, Clive Barker, etc), plenty of action/adventure novels by Lee Child, David Baldacci, Robert Ludlum, etc., and all sorts of sci-fi by authors of no particular note. And I don't mind admitting it. :-)
Very clever. I like this kind of nitty-gritty detail work, and the change is small enough to be adapted easily by others. Bravo!

I'm a little concerned about the last sentence of the section introduction of
"2 Differential Transformer". It mentions using improvements from previous papers, but in the grammatical context, it's unclear if this improvement is added to both the normal transformer and their diff transformer. This would otherwise sully the comparisons. It's the "main difference" wording in the previous sentence that raised a flag for me.

Of course, a good-faith researcher would know this and may not feel the need to clarify. But you can never be too careful about some published research in this field.
In my case I "lend" my personal device for work (Git, Slack, Figma, Miro... use one Chrome for work and Chrome Beta for personal). So I suppose there's no software running behind the scenes. Should I still worry in this case?
It isn’t. The idea is to quantify the risk. A buggy toolchain is okay if the bugs are known and you can demonstrate how you’re mitigating them. All software has bugs, you cannot rely on the idea of bug free software to ensure safety, you must have a process that is robust in the face of problems.

For those not aware: Metformin is a popular (unapproved?) nootropic.
I feel like this is a weirdly cynical response. GLP-1s actually inhibit appetite. I took a friend on them once to a nice cafe I’d found and even though he agreed their pastries were delicious he didn’t finish his and took it home. There seem to be pretty clear signs that GLP-1 inhibitors are decreasing overall food consumption.

I’m not even sure this is a capitalist solution. Sure, Novo Nordisk is making a ton of money with these pills at the moment, but at least externally it seems like their decisions are controlled by the foundation (of course, money talks and no one is immune).

I know plenty of people who are scared of needles and I’m not sure they should have to suffer from diabetes if they should develop it.

Separately, and I’m not an expert but slightly more knowledgeable than a layperson, but food scarcity is rarely because of overconsumption in the global West. The blame usually lies with corrupt local organizations working with NGOs and poor quality transmission routes rather than global food markets.
as an american who avoids sugar and processed foods (like seed oils) its virtually impossible to eat out or buy anything beyond whole foods. Everything is contaminated.

Combine that with forever chemical use in packaging, pesticides in non-organic produce, our food supply chain is killing us.

I buy eggs from reputable regenerative free range, non-vegetarian fed chickens. I order my poultry and beef from regenerative farms across the country who are verified organic + grass fed + grass finished.

I bake my own bread and cook 95% of the meals I eat at home.

Especially considering, most of these "banned" books (literally available everywhere else) are pornographic. Parents have been thrown out of school board meetings for reading their content out loud.
I've never heard of combining metformin with the other two drugs. The naltrexone/bupropion combination is sold under the brand name Contrave. As with any weight loss drug, I recommend a healthy amount of scepticism. Contrave's history includes an initial FDA disapproval and two prematurely terminated studies, and the drug changed hands a couple of times.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naltrexone/bupropion#History
You can sure make that argument, but it's still only a rephrasing of the millenia-old meme of old people complaining about the lack of respect in young people. No, young people are not in danger of being unable to become functional adults, no more than any generation before them (of which the same has been said).

Society changes, you're old, young people are doing things differently. The wheel keeps on turning.

drivers may interpret it differently, but flow is typically faster than stop&go, plus the illusion of "if you're moving you're getting somewhere" helps.
> Unsurprisingly, it was canonical classics. As Horowitch points out, I am just “one public-high school teacher in Illinois,” but while professors at elite universities sound the alarm over Gen Z undergrads not finishing Les Miserables [...] Ishmael Beah’s A Long Way Gone, Ibi Zoboi’s American Street, and David Bowles’s The Prince and the Coyote, are all complex, challenging, and substantial texts that speak to the interests and experiences of my students, so it’s not a fight to get them reading.

An unabridged translation of Les Miserables is 3-6x as long as any of those other books. I feel like that could explain a difference in being able/willing to finish those books by itself. At the same time, updated language and abridgment are extremely normal in translations and would be very appropriate here. I'd be surprised if those choices aren't already considered by professors assigning Les Mis in anything but a class on Les Mis for seniors or grad students. Presumably a competent abridgment would cut much of 'going on for chapters about the sewer system' or whatever. The OP talks about such translation techniques working for her class when she teaches The Odyssey! I don't see how Les Miserables is very different, but maybe the translation(s) she uses for the Odyssey are really exceptional.

An unrelated point the OP kind of gets at but doesn't focus on, in favor of diversity and recency of authorship: the mere fact of assigning reading and setting a schedule for it often sucks the pleasure out of it, doesn't it? I read two authors of classics put down in the OP as 'vanilla' and 'dust-covered', Dostoevsky and Hugo, for pleasure in high school... and by my senior year of high school was skipping many (if not a majority) of assigned readings in favor of bullshitting my way through based on second-hand summaries. (The books I skipped included both titles by 'dead white men' and more contemporary titles by authors of other backgrounds.) If I hadn't the pleasure of choosing the classic texts I did read as referred to above, I probably would have given them a shallow and resentful treatment, too.

Aside: after looking them up, the books the OP lists as examples sound way more interesting than the 'non-canonical' texts I was assigned in high school, and I'm envious of their students in that respect. The non-canonical texts in my school days were infrequent and also often felt like second-rate additions to curriculum: slim volumes, simple language, facile premises.
This has nothing to do with a language flavor though, cause it’s coercion rules at play here, which could be done right and were (I believe) ok in Java.

Lisps in browsers of that time would suffer from the same idea, which is “let’s make relaxed/ambiguous rules for noob script kids and cool one-liners”. Which is a mistake that many people made back then (perl, php, sh). Anything that has a potential for growth must have strict typing and non-funny coercion from the beginning.

It’s this naive idea that ruined whole ecosystems.

> Passing references to Moby Dick, Crime and Punishment, and even my unit about The Odyssey

>Ishmael Beah’s A Long Way Gone, Ibi Zoboi’s American Street, and David Bowles’s The Prince and the Coyote, are all complex, challenging, and substantial texts

Yes, some literature is better than other literature. Some literature should be taught in schools. The fact that this teacher defends giving simpler less sophisticated works because it speaks to the children more (how is a power struggle in a palace speaking to the children more?). Difficult language is not an excuse to not read a book, this is literally lowering expectations. I am not saying those books are bad, but they are all written at a middle school level, and should not be taught in high school. Being unable to read Moby Dick or Les Miserables is an issue.
Sidenote, my SO recently started a generic GLP-1 shot. It has far more side effects, at least during ramp up - than just reward center.

Notably a wide array of food either make them sick to their stomach or have colon related issues (diarrhea or constipation).

I suspect i do observe reward changes as well, but especially in the first few weeks it felt like i was observing weight loss strictly because they struggled to eat so much food without getting sick. So many of the foods they still wanted would just make them sick immediately or hours later.

I think they read that much of this is temporary to the ramp-up time, though. So hopefully in ~6 months they'll be on the full dose and won't have so many nausea/diarrhea issues.

"Banned books" has always been an indulgent title put on books that have been banned from a handful of school libraries by busybodies, but never used for books so controversial that copies of them might as well be unobtainable.
But it also intimidates folks into not sharing some really good stuff.

There's that, but there's also an element that's more "frustrates" than "intimidates" I think. Case in point: it's VERY rare in my experience, that one can mention Ayn Rand in any kind of favorable light here without getting downvoted to hell. Have that happen a few times, and one is probably going to start to develop a "well, my opinions aren't welcome here" response and quit sharing. Never mind that the person who mentions Rand quite possibly also likes many, many other things and would like to talk about them. And I'm reasonably sure this phenomenon isn't limited to Rand. I just noticed that, because I'm one of the people who does like Rand - and has been consistently down-voted to hell for it. :-)
> I did say that "any random person" was a plausible choice.

And I'm saying that it was not a __choice__. A violent man committed one more violent act in a life full of violent acts. Calling it a choice and thinking it in terms of pros and cons makes it sound like a much more deliberative act.

There are side effects, but the risk profile is known (is my understanding). It is (at this time) believed to be a forever drug, just like diet and exercise stop working if you stop them. A longer term fix is likely gene therapy (Fractyl Health has a clinical trial in progress, REMAIN-1) vs chronic maintenance.

GLP-1s allow us to poke at the human to see what happens. Gene therapy will, hopefully, allow us to implement a permanent fix vs a hotfix (once the risk profile of such a genetic modification is better understood).

Can you name some of the foods? Never been on GLP-1 drugs. But a good amount of fast food leaves me feeling lethargic and, if I eat it too quickly, nauseated afterwards.
So long as an appropriate level of hormone exists in the body (they're injecting hormones doing this) the effect stays the same. This is like wondering if women need to supplement increasing amounts of estrogen over time (as opposed to supplementing only when needed i.e. birth control or menopause). You can take it indefinitely, but you must take it indefinitely in order for it to keep its effectiveness because the body isn't producing enough of the hormone.
I wrote a few paragraphs of response to this assuming that you are implying that there is a level of death/disease that is acceptable because treating it would not be cost-effective, but I deleted it because it would be uncharitable to assume you think that.

It would be interesting to see this information, but would not be useful to act on. If the answer was "it costs more to keep more people alive" (hint: it does, that is why we let so many die of preventable illness), should we keep less people alive and healthy? The pursuit of economic growth at all costs is a disease far more dangerous than anything you would treat in a hospital.
