I don't think that would change much. This isn't so much about how the kids are being taught but rather about whether or not the working-class kids feel like they belong. Also, online classes are arguably worse for kids who are al

The presence of Bahai'i in SC is rather unexpected. From the county map it looks like they are mostly in the Myrtle Beach / Georgetown area.

It doesn't seem he has tried taping this out as an ASIC yet. Unless you fab the circuit in the same process as Intel uses (which you won't be able to do unless you work for Intel), any performance comparisons would be pretty meani

The kernel isn't the only thing. What about drivers? Getting random hardware peripherals to work with a single-board computer is not always straightforward. A larger community means there is more documentation out there on how to get t

The RPi can run "normal" distributions in a sense, but all ARM boards need some degree of software customization because there is a lot less standardization in the interfaces to hardware peripherals. x86 CPUs have a standard inter

I think the author IS talking about plain-old embedded systems engineers. Finding a competent one is apparently rather rare. From what I've heard, most firmware engineers are EEs with only a rudimentary grasp of software engineering pr

Why do you think those particular companies deserve a larger share of good employees. Boeing hasn't been innovative in a while now. They make most of their money off of sales of their older models and defense contracts. GM isn't d

Well sure, I'm not saying that he shouldn't use WordStar 4.0 on DOS. If it works for him, he shouldn't have to justify it. It takes time to become comfortable with a new word processor. But if you're going to make up exc

But couldn't he just turn off spell check? I mean, the real reason is that he probably likes WordStar 4.0 more than the modern word processors, and I can totally get that, but the spell check excuse is a bit ... weak.

There was a Clojure example of this algorithm posted a few months back. Funnily enough, it's been in my "read later" bookmarks for a while now and I just got around to reading it this morning before I saw this post. http:&#x

It would be worrying if reading ability was actually getting worse, but the article mentions that this is not the case. > Reading scores among young children have improved since the 1970s. > The reading scores among 17-year-olds, howe

It's just notation, to make it clear that two integers (and not some other type of object) are being added.

It's not about being good at math, just at memorizing numbers. I'm Chinese American and was considered to be "good-at-math" in grade school, but damned if I can remember long sequences of numbers. Maybe I should try thin

Wozniak was all about bringing computers into wider use. At the time, BASIC was considered the "easy" language to learn. So easy that kids could do it.

No, as the post states, the non-determinism is due to the fact that DRAM cells lose their charge over time unless they are constantly refreshed. When the system is rebooted after having been powered off for a long time, the DRAM cells are a

What part of the argument do you see as trying to limit the FCC. If anything, it is telling the FCC to regulate more sternly by enforcing the line-sharing rule.

You're missing the point of his argument 1. It isn't that pirating is illegal, it's that torrenting by nature has less strict bandwidth and latency requirements than VoIP calling.

Yes, modern Intel CPUs use a RISC-like architecture underneath. The CPU contains a decoder unit which converts x86 instructions to RISC-like micro-ops. Getting rid of x86 support would not be a good idea. It's their "legacy suppor

The 64-core coprocessor has a different architecture than the main ARM processor. Kernel code and regular userspace programs won't run on it.
