This is unhelpful. People should be expected to read past headlines. The paper's abstract takes 30 seconds to read.

I can't help but think this tech war will be a positive for most of us. Both China and the US seem to think they need a rival, and if they want to do it over chips I think it can only spur on innovation in open source hardware.

I've tried something like what you're describing. Most years I'd start with a week or two of solving problems that don't involve any code at all. For example, a day one teaser (these are 12 year olds) I liked to give was

Interesting, because as a former CS teacher I regularly did this. We'd go through some material and then I'd demonstrate it being used in different contexts, sometimes writing code that wouldn't work and sometimes writing poo

You're allowed bots, so why can't we archive it and make it more easily searchable? Those programming channels with QA style threaded answers would be great to log and make searchable. Is it against Discord's ToS or something

What does racism have to do with something that is so obviously an economic based power struggle? Preventing Chinese researchers is not racist. There seems to be no problems allowing any other Asians in. It's a uniquely China issue, an

It's a huge benefit to the crowds at street level, and keeps the city cooler overall because all that concrete is not being turned into a heated surface. They're not generally there to shade the buildings, but the people and road

The silence could have come from embarrassment at later recognition of what he'd done.

The first point is interesting to me. Choosing not to defend the 2nd amendment while defending the first. Thank for the info.

In the past the ACLU has defended hate groups right to freedom of speech. Do you have evidence that they'd do something to the contrary?

I don't think US camps are anti-science as much they are against a small subset of science which disagrees with their religious beliefs. There are no anti-relativity or anti-magnetism groups as far as I know. In China there are plenty

Most Chinese have probably never given a thought as to whether they are pro science or not. That seems to be more an American preoccupation. My Chinese relatives have all sorts if unscientific beliefs based around food and folk superstition

I'd wager that without hfts liquidity would be just fine. Maybe smaller stocks wouldn't become the battleground for hft algos, but aside from that they're mostly penny skimming vultures that create the illusion of liquidity a

I'm in my 40s and haven't had one, but I've also never really figured out what I want my life to be like. In truth the question was always more what do I want to do right now? What you want life to be like will continually ch

There are so many cities (I'd say it's the majority in the world), with mixed use zoning which work wonderfully. Lower floors are offices or businesses and upper floors are apartments. Why is this so difficult?

Great quote, thanks for sharing.

There's also an increased distance between those doing the actual work and those making decisions about how it should be done. Bureaucratic depth keeps any real change from taking place, instead leaving those on the ground level to tr

I think this is a good coping mechanism, though I disagree that you should always follow your heart. We are often not mature or knowledgeable enough, and our heart makes dumb, impulsive decisions which can hurt us and the ones we love. Our

You have the choice to ignore the hi. Seems like a non-issue.

These are great. Reminds me of some of the puzzles from hackthissite.org. Do you mind me asking what you did after you left teaching?

Not OP, but I've known/taught autistic kids who would seem to fall under that umbrella.

Does the issue here lie in not focusing on a singular thing, or allowing yourself to get stressed about the things you're expected to do? If you're constantly worrying about your todo list then maybe you should look at why that i

Could you be more specific what is difficult about local development? I've used it locally and had little difficulty.

Overconsumption certainly is, and that's tied to population.

I've been teaching CS at the high school level for 15 years and the biggest pain point has been breaking kids out of the way they've been taught to approach learning. Since everything is so test focused, what they learn in most su

Can concur, I hate it. Well, most of it. Exercise yes, but the rest seems lazy or overly nit picky.

The internet brought everyone and their opinion to the table. It used to be that debate was done within smaller circles, and the wayward elements within those were tolerated to a larger degree, but the rest, the outsiders, were never let in
