This is a very reductionist view of homeschooling.

While some folks certainly do have this experience when homeschooled, a well-designed home schooling experience will have an abundance of social interactions with non-family members.

Sports is an obvious one, but there are also many homeschool groups that engage in learning activities together.

It's remarkable how much they have neglected the upgrade process if you compare it to macOS Time Machine/Migration Assistant (which is hands off and totally easy). Why do you have so many people with ten year old PCs? Because for some people, it is a week of lost work to get a new one.
Just because a drug works well doesn't mean that it's moral to release a drug that knowingly kills tens of thousands of people a year and then hide that data.
…or cigarettes, which are available for sale everywhere.

If unhealthy foods are to be banned, we must also ban cigarettes and alcohol. If we are to let people be bodybuilders, or body destroyers, then all of these things should be available for purchase.

Ultimately it is a special kind of arrogance to tell people what they are or are not allowed to do to the one thing they unambiguously own and control: their own body.

We pay for a private school, it's expensive yes and I know not accessible for all, but it's kind of the best of both worlds. You get to choose the school and it's a community vibe. It helps when the other kids, potential bullies, know your kid and know their parents talk to your parents. It also helps as the staff is acutely tuned in to things like this, and they have amazing ways of conflict resolutions. It's not difficult, it just requires some attention and thought. They reinforce golden rule type actions/behaviors/leading by example/etc. As an example, if one kid picks on another one, instead of detention - they will both be given a 'private talk' and then paired up on some activity. The result is, they were constructively scolded then had a chance to bond and become friends - and it works. It's never going to be fully eradicated, but it's amazing just how little there is and how supportive everyone is in trying to develop good humans.

They also assess the kids emotional maturity early on. Those that they feel are not ready to go from Kinder to 1st get a 'Primer' year. It's basically holding them back in Kinder but with a positive twist.

Tons of other benefits as the parents hold a lot of power (since we pay). But also, the quality of staff/teachers, and low ratios are quite a perk compared to our area's public schools which are poorly rated.

I went to public school myself, and while I was never bullied, I do think I was a target of bullies at some time. Any time I felt like someone was bullying me, I fought back and would often be disciplined under zero tolerance rules. That's how my parents taught me to deal with it, 'stand up for yourself boy' kind of thing. We've taught our kid not to hit and to be kind and he is, but that's exactly what I think would make him a huge target in a public school environment.
That doesn't make him an idiot, it just means he watched some TV.

A lot of people think the Jews in Egypt built the pyramids, but they didn't.

This doesn't make them idiots.

(For anyone who doesn't know, the pyramids were there before Josef arrived.)

People aren't required to know everything, and when they don't that doesn't make them idiots.
Let's not compare video game cheats to murder. Let's avoid putting those two things in the same sentence.

> argue for something like server side anti-cheat

I have done that. Here's the direct quote from an earlier comment from me:

> they better run their "anticheat" nonsense on their computers

There is no inherent problem with server side anti-cheating measures. Their servers are their computers. I'm not gonna tell them what software they can or can't run on their machines. I just wish they'd extend me the exact same respect.

Whether server side anti-cheating measures are effective is a completely separate issue. It's also completely irrelevant. The failure of server side anti-cheating software does not excuse their invasion of our computers to compensate.

> rally against games that include crapware

I do object to that as well.

> Seek nuance or find a middle ground instead of grandstanding on absolutism like this, it hurts your (fundamentally very good!) point.

I have no problem with nuance. I just refuse to compromise on many fundamental ideas. The fundamental idea I defend here is: I own this machine, therefore I can and should be able to do anything.

The idea that someone should be prevented, by his own computer, from cheating at video games, is offensive. Who are they to tell you what you can't do with your computer? It's your machine. If you want to freeze your character's health in memory so that you cannot be damaged, it's your god given right to do it.

Before I can consider nuances, I need to defend the above idea first. Because if I compromise on that, it opens the door to their invasive anticheat rootkits.

Because I'm not at all saying "all multiplayer games should die", I am saying they should die if that's the price of our freedom. Cheating is a literal non-issue compared to corporations policing what we do or don't do with our computers. If stopping cheating requires that, then just let people cheat. If they can't find a way to prevent cheating other than installing a literal rootkit in my Linux kernel, maybe it just wasn't meant to be.
yeah because they wont censor gaza information
A conversation about subjective morality is tangential to your original comment and the conversation we're having, but its odd to bring it up as if you are aware of the concept of subjective morality you kind of run head-first into why advocating and applying your values is important.

And more to the point, you're not believable. Are you really going to say that because Pablo Escobar may have had a set of values and acted on those values, we have to throw away that whole idea?

Hitler was really fond of his pet dog, does having a pet dog make someone evil?

In any case, here's what I dislike about your original comment, and what it seems to express.

Instead of engaging with the ideas and values presented in the article, you feel back on attacking the very idea of expressing ideas and values. You know that's a ridiculous position, I know you do, but it's easier to do that than it is to actually engage.
I wonder if the folks at Neo4j actually read the AGPL before tacking on their commons clause?

The DoD banning an app on their network is a lot different than banning it competely in the US. I would think DoD should ban most apps connecting to their networks that aren't work related. I feel this whole effort is either in bad faith or isn't being transparently communicated to the public.
No, his use is intentional. It's a portmanteau for "physics fib".
Try and make what you did work.

33 * .6 = 19.8
33 * .4 = 13.2

1 - (19.8 / 100) = 0.802
1 - (13.2 / 100) = 0.868

0.802 * 0.868 = 0.696136

(1 - 0.696136) * 100 = 30.38% discount not 33%

Thus your burden of proof. Either they are utterly incompetent or lying.
That's been proven in double blinded studies, I assume.

Note in some European contexts (like UK) "public school" means something more along the lines of "private school" in the US. They have selective admissions, there's usually tuition, etc.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_school_(United_Kingdom)

> The schools are "public" from a historical schooling context in the sense of being open to pupils irrespective of locality, denomination or paternal trade or profession or family affiliation with governing or military service, and also not being run for the profit of a private owner.
> And if the F35 is so bloody useless, why is China pursuing so many versions of their own?

because China has the resources and motivations to bet on everything all the time.

back in the covid days, China invested heavily on all types of vaccines, more precisely, for each possible tech route, they invested in multiple companies. they ended up approving like dozens of different vaccines.

they are now leading in the EV sector, interestingly the CCP recently ordered to continue to invest on the R&D of ICE cars.

I needed a certain type of instrument in my current project, did my research and found there are three commercialised tech routes, one took by the US, one by the EU, China recently claimed to have invented the third route. guess what, they have 3 competing companies selling 3 different commercial products that implemented those 3 tech routes when the US and EU just have one company working on it each.

Fun fact: when this was posted on Reddit yesterday, a popular comment was of the type "I would definitely find this upon review", despite the fact that there was a glaring error in the second code-snippet that nobody actually pointed out.

More evidence for the subtext of the post, which is "finding errors in review is sometimes harder than not writing them in the first place".
> I am pretty sure that, unless you use --impure, all files that are read are required to be in the store. Since the store is read-only, it does not break purity.

Right, but even then the logical type for readFile would be something like "string -> string" (because from nix's perspective it is pure), but in haskell it would have to be "string -> IO string" (because from haskell's perspective it is not).

Maybe this is fine, i just suspect it would make things messier than expected.

Alternatively this could be worked around using unsafePerformIO or the FFI, but that feels a bit far away from the idea of just making a DSL? Unclear...

Same, I just think it's an interesting discussion.

Const for things that locally never change. I also would not fight const whenever possible.

Lots of data is not intended to be mutable, even if it lives within an object and there are business reasons for that. I find the restrictions above ideologically purist over practical, like the devs who insist that private/internal methods should not have unit tests.

Const literally always means reduced readability and sometimes a lot of extra code.

Honestly, current best practice puts that number right around zero, which you see for ambitious implementations.

A non-obvious issue is that database engines have peculiar requirements for how libraries are designed and implemented which almost no conventional library satisfies. To make matters worse, two different database implementations may have different requirements in this regard, so you can't even share libraries between databases. There are no black boxes in good database engines.

Ask HN: Sustainable Open Source Game Development?
I have a vision, or rather a dream of a large network of open source games. Open source FPS's, open source turn base strategy games, etc. That could all be high quality and provide alternatives to the exploitive commercial game industry .

How would this be sustainable though, I'm not imagining I'm going to get Red hat level rich supporting open source gaming, but I think it would be awesome if say as an alternative to fortnite, you could boot up OpenNite connect to a server and game.

It’s not why they use TikTok but it’s why they don’t use other social media apps. Once an app becomes too popular with older people the quality and vibes decrease, plus everyone feels awkward about posting.

It’s something I’ve been thinking about outside of generational gaps, new social media apps are fun because you add all the people you’re comfortable with. After some years you now have a ton of connections from past stages of life, and start feeling restricted again in your personal expression.

Plus there’s the dual use issue – IG is too commonly shared now so I have current and former coworkers there plus everyone I’ve ever been interested in as friends or more at a party. So it’s not the place I’d want to feel free and creative.

IG tries to solve some of this with Close Friends and other lists but people don’t really want to spend their time constantly organizing a list of friends.

I'm really happy with Immich & not looking for a replacement. Evaluated it vs Ente in the past & went with it instead - as far as I could tell their apps have the same features & limitations (focus on remote backup & display rather than on local on-device photo management & basic markup/editing).

If (like me) you don't need e2e I can highly recommend Immich for its use-case though.
Right now at Amazon we are going through the annual feedback cycle where you have to write strengths and growth areas for your colleagues. You will usually have to do ~12 of those.

I don't use ChatGPT for those, but it is the epitome of what you are describing, people will take a single sentence, ask some LLM to blow it up the correct length and in the process make it a complete waste of time for everyone.

My guess is that with long-form text losing value due to LLMs, we will see a return of very succint 1-2 lines employee feedback.

Nah it really is simpler than that, that picture has exploded the summations to make it look complicated. Although it is strangely hard to find the compressed version written down anywhere...

the thing about Lagrangians is that they compose systems by adding terms together: L_AB = L_A + L_B if A and B don't interact. Each field acts like an independent system, plus some interaction terms if the fields interact. So most of the time, e.g. on Wikipedia[0], people write down the terms in little groups. But still, note on the Wikipedia page that there are not that many terms in the Lagrangian section, due to the internal summations.

The Windows app development situation has become such a mess even Microsoft devs want to use Electron style containment for everything. That is the result.

If in doubt, try making sense of the "Platforms" section https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/desktop/ and wondering if you would bet on those things being supported in 18 months time.

Edit to add: I'm sure other people can chip in with more, but what I was told was the .net teams and Windows teams pulled in completely different directions. WPF/XAML was really widely liked by many developers for quite a while, then they put it on ice for no apparent reason (supposedly because the core Windows team had better ideas), and their on/off stance on this ever since has just driven everyone away.

You don't signal when entering.

If you are on the inside lane of the roundabout and prepare to exit, you signal to warn people already on the roundabout, and tell people waiting to get in that they shouldn't get on the outside lane even if it's free.

If you are on the outside lane and prepare to exit, you signal when the road you'll take is next. Whether you'd personally wait is irrelevant; changing lanes and direction always warrants a signal, roundabout or not.
As first reported by 404media, hackers have compromised location aggregator Gravy Analytics, stealing “customer lists, information on the broader industry, and even location data harvested from smartphones which show peoples’ precise movements.” This has dumped a trove of sensitive data into the public domain.

This data is harvested from apps rather than the phones themselves, as EFF explains, “each time you see a targeted ad, your personal information is exposed to thousands of advertisers and data brokers through a process called real-time bidding’ (RTB). This process does more than deliver ads—it fuels government surveillance, poses national security risks, and gives data brokers easy access to your online activity. RTB might be the most privacy-invasive surveillance system that you’ve never heard of.”
Also the default case returns 0, same as data==‘0’. Good luck figuring out if there was an error.
