That’s right. And at the other end of that spectrum, there is what some refer to as “radical unschooling” which gives total agency to the child over the material they’ll learn. I know some radical unschoolers who’ve even ended-up in conventional schools because it was their decision. It may sound like a paradox but it happens, usually not more than a few years though, but again, depends on what’s available to them wherever they live, and also the friends/peers and what they are doing too. I think these choices come down to the child, parenting style and the environment in which the child evolves. There is no right or wrong in my opinion.

In his 2017 paper[1], Peter Gray goes in depth on all the different self-directed education approaches including some of the well-known self-directed “schools”, from Summerhill in the UK to Sudbury Valley in the U.S.

Homeschooling often gets confused with self-directed education, aka “unschooling”. These are not the same.

The former tends to replicate school and requires a teacher, usually a parent. It’s basically school with added/paced/altered/enriched curriculum at the cost of socialization, although that can be compensated with other forms of peer groups, especially in urban area. Comparing this method versus school A or school B is pretty much like comparing school A and B as two schools can be as different as any given school and homeschool.

The latter is what John Holt referred to as homeschooling but is based on self-determination theory and has an abundance of science to support it. Neuroscience backs this theory too, I think the rate at which active learning learns is somewhere around x20 faster than passive learning (ie “teaching”). Very serious folks like John Holt, Peter Gray, or Akilah Richards to name a few have dedicated their life work to supporting self-directed education as a superior form of education. What Peter Gray’s research shows shows is that outcomes are basically the same except for life satisfaction and psychological outcomes. In essence, it leads to same rates of secondary education, jobs and socio-economical outcomes, except an unschooled child makes for a much happier adult later on.

Sadly, because the majority of people went through contemporary schooling or some version of it, people’s biases makes people not want to hear this.

I’m not sure what the OP’s circle looks like but I would be surprised if none of those so called “techs pro-homeschooling” are only doing the school at home version without having stumbled upon any of the science around self-directed.

> You can reasonably withhold a tip from someone who is actively hostile or incompetent, but really all you're doing is making yourself feel better.

Well, one could argue that this is effectively NOT making you feel better, quite the opposite. Empathy is what makes people feel better. So to counter-argue your point, tipping someone despite the fact you may have negative feelings about their service or judge incompetent, is empathy.

As a native French/European person, I've always thought of tipping as counter-intuitive, i.e. "why is the tip not included?". But after a few years in the U.S., I realized that this is actually a small gesture of appreciation that -- even if insignificant because so normalized -- will make the person serving you feel a little better about their job and themselves.

For that reason, I am now on the "always tip" camp.

sounds like there has been a lot of inflation in only 33yrs. what caused this?

postgrest.com vs postgres.rest: this is a bit confusing. Why not pick a different name?

I don't get how this would prevent border agents from asking to unlock / turn off travel mode.

Why not make this feature tied to a geo-location? Like the hotel or the conference centre I will be attending.

Woz also clarified, on HN, some of the things that were said about his relationship with Jobs.

One thing that kills me about prisons is that they achieve exactly the opposite of what they are supposed to be achieving. They add more psychological trauma, they create more anger and they force people to focus on what they've done in the past instead of what they could be doing different in the future.

The problem is that there are always more important things to worry about in our society than reforming prisons. Not much has changed since prisons have been invented, really. Recidivism is unacceptably high. The solution is not more discipline. It's more respect, more compassion, more dignity, more learning, and more showing that life doing other things is as rewarding if not more than doing the things that lead to prison.

Makes me think of Kite[1]. Kite is a "real" thing that one can use though.

Very nice project. It would be cool if this was an actual feature of `go run`.

This is cool.

It would be nice to have an API for this so that my IDE can pull these examples.

0-249 probably means 125.

"Little" correction: the word "Enculé" is a more specific kind of "Fucked", it means "Fucked in the ass". It has the word "cul" in it which means "ass".

can I use it to attend dinner parties at my in-laws?

First thing that comes to mind: no helmet, why?

It's not exactly the same thing but it achieves the same goal and is opensource.

API services are generated from RAML files (yaml) No code required for simple crud, biz logic can be hooked using http event handlers. Uses Elasticsearch for reads and Mongodb or Postgres for writes. Other DB can be hooked by writing the proper Db engines, it's all documented.

Agreed. It should at least reorder itself when battery runs low (and copy it's configuration over so I don't have to redo it)

So complicated compared to something like: http://ramses.tech

If you have the "balls" to fundraise despite the fact that it shows you're pregnant, isn't that a good sign?

I don't know the details of that particular case but in France, a lot of laws have penalty clauses in them which doesn't leave much at the discretion of the judge. It's a different judicial system.

We've built something similar with RAML in Python. It's called Ramses: https://github.com/ramses-tech/ramses

I like the "single source of truth" concept. It makes a lot of sense IMO.

Does it generate the handlers for you or do you have to write them by hand and hook to the Swagger definition?

This is great news for Python 3. We're almost there! -> http://py3readiness.org
