I listen to BBC Radio 4; 4 extra; 6 music; and the World Service. I also listen to podcasts of some international stations. (Not as much now that "this american life" is available on 4extra).

People might be interested in the archive of content on the BBC websites. "In Our Time" is especially good.

You don't need arithmetic to learn pattern recognition.
My understanding is you still need the 3rd party tools. The new replication features lay the foundation for other replication strategies like multi-master, but they are not implemented yet.
Sorry, changed it around. Hope it's better now.
Take-aways that must came with yours:

* There is no way to calculate memory usage, it's completely opaque. The first thing the author told was how he was controlling memory usage, but that does not reflect on Azure's number. Also, swapping is a bit better than just having your site taken down with no warning.

* Nearly all hosting providers have "free" database providing included in their price. (And until I read that artile, I wouldn't even think on adding that "nearly" at the beggining.)

But yes, you shold know your environment, and not shoehorn it in.

Every day you don't, every dollar you spend on proprietary software/content, it gets harder. That's why the FSF was created.
It's actually a really great fit for C# and Java developers too... C# guys like it because it's cross platform and they get to stop the madness of worrying about what version of the .Net platform is installed. It's also nice to have a single executable and not 100 dlls to deploy... no more need for an installer to do everything for you, just drop an executable.

I would imagine it's similar for the java guys, especially now that there's java 8, you start having to worry whether it's installed etc. I think Java is a harder sell, because most Java guys don't recognize the complexity inherent in their huge type systems, and they have all these new toys to play with in Java 8 without having to learn a whole new language.... I think they'll come around eventually, though.

Go happens to also be a really great alternative to C and C++ (at least in applications where you don't need the strict timing of a GC-less language...) It's much less error prone than C and C++, with memory safety making most truly critical security bugs simply impossible. Again, like the Java guys, it's a little hard to convince people that have been working in the language for 15-20+ years that there's something that can make their lives easier...
Absolutely. I'm sure the companies behind Common Core are licking their chops to provide that training for everyone.
Looking at the two popular web wallets as an example. Blockchain.info and Coinbase. Blockchain.info is a client-side wallet implemented in JS Keys are encrypted client-side and encrypted keys stored in the server. There are good good benefits there because if blockchain.info is hacked, your keys are still with you and not compromised (Different story if the server starts serving malicious JS though)

The server-side wallet approach means that if their hot wallets gets hacked, all the funds will be gone.
> Mozilla had no chance once Google, MS, Apple and everybody else decided to support EME.

Given Mozilla always brags about their mission and openness, that somehow looks like as if someone had a public resolution about staying away from alcohol, but then... well... the circumstances were so unfortunate... and just one shot wasn't such a big deal... and it's not that person's fault - it's his friend who had brought a bottle.

That's unfortunate and not respectable.

Oh, and it's not like I say alcohol is something bad. (Grabs some ale.)

There is also pretty good evidence that the old methods did not promote understanding.

> That common core method for subtracting 12 from 32 definitely doesn't teach you anything about how or why it works.

You do not understand what it is trying to teach. It is teaching children that taking one number from another can be done using columns, but it can also be done in your head by breaking big numbers down into small numbers and counting up.
I think you do not understand how the free software movement work. Let me shine some light by rewriting your comment as if it was about a more commonly understood environmental issue.

"Yes, pollution is bad, but not everything has or needs to be pollution-free to treat the environment fairly, and some products need be cheap enough to produce revenue.

Not everything needs to be green to treat the environment fairly with stuff people have bought, not everything needs to be pollution-free just because they like it that way, and above all, people should have a right to choose to run whatever car they want! The fact that so few people do run pollution-free cars shows to me how most people are completely fine with driving the car they want."

(btw, the FSF philosophy is the freedom to do anything except restricting other people freedom. If you want to define freedom as the right to restrict others then go ahead, but I don't).
Well since this is a short story, we probably need reviews so people know whether it's worth their time to read it. Here's mine:

As far as 11th-grade high school english lit writing assignments go, this one is pretty good. I like how the author tells the reader technical things without ever trying to explain them, assuming that his readership is completely familiar with the subject matter. I also like how there's virtually no character development whatsoever, the ending is forced, and there's no conflict or strife in this idealized post-apocalyptic world. Anyone who would normally fight or kill for resources has apparently died, leaving only calm, rational citizens to share plentiful provisions.

My favorite part is how completely emotionally detached the protagonist is. His wife and baby boy dies, and he's basically alright about 5 minutes later. Each time he remembers them he seems to feel sad, then forget about them like an alzheimer patient. No shock, no panic, no guilt, no sorrow. Just a completely emotionally dead nerd who's more focused on his computers than his real relationships. It puts a realistic face on what could have been just another cypherpunk dystopian piece of drivel.

I'm now remembering even more of the New Math that was remaining in my elementary school education (1966-72): I always remember set theory in 3rd grade (not particularly motivated as I remember, but very neat, a useful way to help describe the world), 4th grade as I recall is where non-decimal bases were introduced. And of course it had that obvious effect (at least for me).

This was in Joplin, MO, one of the reddest Red State parts of the country, albeit in a school district famous after the 1955 publication of Why Johnny Can't Read for still being able to teach its students how to read. But the language arts were always very capably taught in the district, generally better than math.
Taking back everything else? Does that include knowledge, experience and lessons learned? Because that greatly affects what pg would start doing today.
What if people don't want to be teached? Honestly, if you talk to most users about this they'll just say they'll use Chrome if FireFox is broken on a movie, and if they have to pay for the movie they'll just use BitTorrent or Popcorn Time or whatever pirate app is popular right now.

Why does Mozilla care if Joe and Tilly use Chrome? If they don't care about or fund free software, no one benefits from them using Firefox. The user base that cares is the one that matters.
But why should standard bodies and browser vendors help them out?
It isn't.

None of this belongs on a new site you are trying to launch:

And the name of the site isn't much better. You don't need a quick change to one piece of text. You need to overhaul your entire approach to this project.

Think about free textbooks, which may be commercially printed (of course you have to pay for a physical object) but are also available online under CC-BY-SA. If something is well explained in, say, Wikipedia, I can lift it and put it directly into the textbook, with a credit, making only the small tweaks necessary to make it flow in context. This can be hugely valuable, but tacking on NC means no one can ever sell those physical copies (which some people prefer).

I kind of hope this situation doesn't arise with TV Tropes, but you never know...
I thought several times about building a bitcoin wallet but I'm just too worried that I'll get something wrong and either lose a key or accidentally make a transaction that loses coins so decided not to risk it even for my own use. I'd frankly be terrified to let anyone else risk their own money on something like that without extreme levels of code review etc.
Have You Made a Profit on your Life?
"Donation of text is irrevocable" seems to be the only thing that implies a license from contributor to TV Tropes. It's pretty vague and I certainly wouldn't want to sue claiming a license with that to back it up.

It's also unclear whether that text existed before the switch to CC-SA-NC. Obviously it was updated, but was just the license changed? This is significant because contributing under CC-SA to someone using it commercially is possible. Contributing under CC-SA-NC to someone using it commercially doesn't make any sense, so they would need to have another license.

They could have at least pretended to do some experiments, maybe even with proper controls (yes, that's a radical concept in education "research", e.g. how phonics were tossed in the middle of the last century, resulting in a massive decline in literacy), that showed the Common Core was good before imposing it on the entire nation.

I have the same workflow for switching between tabs, although on Mac the default keyboard shortcut for switching Terminal tabs (Cmd + Shift + '[' or ']') was a little too cumbersome. I swapped it out with (Cmd + '[') which by default will take you to the next Terminal, not tab. I move left to right more, so it made more sense for me.

Easy enough to change in system preferences, though. And with using Vim NERDtree, or some other directory plugin, it makes sitting at the top level directory of your project, with multiple projects in multiple tabs, pretty easy.

Are you on Mac? If so, have you done anything to make tab-switching easier/faster? I'm interested because I only recently set mine up this way, and am always open to more efficient methods.
This isn't a place for "some research points to this being better" we currently raised millions of children who _can_ do math just fine the current way. Do you want to just change it because someone says they might have found a better way. This is the kind of change that should have happened over _decades_ slowly to prove its self not as one big political push with no real world example of broad success.

What happens when it turns out a combination of poor training of teachers and lack of exposure by parents combines to produce an entire generation that can't do the most basic of math problems. Who will be do the STEM work in this country when we don't have enough students who know basic math let alone calculus and beyond. Your betting the future of the American economy and society on this change you better have more proof for it then "we did a study"
It's worth noting that all three parties (devs, business, board/management) are acting out of fear. It's little wonder that the outcome is poor.

* Management needs to get over itself and have a true vision beyond, "omg competitors are making money...more features!" that it conveys to everyone.

* The businesspeople need to absorb some of management's anxiety (and their own) on behalf of devs, and communicate with customers to ensure the vision aligns with what they want.

* The developers need to stop whining, up their game and go a bit slower so they don't get themselves in these situations to begin with. Give them what they need (quality code) not what they want ("anything that works NOW!!").

The business world seems rife with people who are purely reactionary, and yet still have the gall to wonder why they cannot innovate: "We don't have money for R&D!" OK, you don't have money for growth then.
I'm not sure I agree with nearly all hosting providers having free database services. Azure seems like it intends to be a competitor to AWS and Rackspace, both of which charge for their cloud databases.

While that is absolutely true for IIS and the Shared tier in Azure Websites (although it's fully configurable if you own the IIS box[1]), Dedicated tiers (when you own the whole VM) in Azure have a feature called Always On[2] Where there is no idle Time-out on the app itself, so even if the app remained idle for days, w3wp process won't be killed. Also if the app happen to shutdown for any reason (machine restart, Azure Update, Windows Update, app crash, etc) Azure Websites will make sure to send a request to the app to start it up and warm it, then the app can use Application Initialization[3] to do any more complex warmup

To be honest, it will probably be made very easy to you to not use the DRM components (remember that this will be a small plugin that you have to expressly install) or download a patched version that does not support EME at all. If, as a user, you feel the need to stick to principles it won't be a problem to do so.

If you, as a user, want to decide what freedom means for other people, then that is a different story.
I don't see the distinction you're trying to make here.

It's plagiarism to copy someone's code without giving attribution. It's not plagiarism to copy someone's code if you give attribution.

It's plagiarism to copy someone's natural language text without giving attribution. It's not plagiarism to copy someone's natural language text if you give attribution.

In either case, copying someone else's code or natural text is potentially copyright infringement, but that's a different matter.
> If you don't learn your math tables by rote memorization, how are you ever going to be adept at algebra or anything based on it?

Common Core includes memorization of tables. For instance, it explicitly calls for knowing from memory all products of two one-digit numbers by the end of Grade 3. By the time the students get to algebra, they'll be ready for simplifying 2x=4y.

What is covered in each grade is given here: http://www.corestandards.org/Math/

A lot of the criticism I've read of it seems to be from people who have been comparing grade X of CC (where X is the grade their kid is in) to what they remember learning in grade X when they were a kid, and conclude that CC does not teach the things they learned in grade X. In fact, it often does teach those things--just in a different grade, or later in the grade X year.

Note that I'm NOT saying CC is better than prior K-12 math programs. I'm just saying that comparisons should be done between CC and prior programs by comparing them as K-12 programs, not by comparing them for specific grades.

That's an easy fix I would think. But I'm surprised that the barrel isn't just as highly regulated.
