This article made me reflect on my own upbringing. My parents weren't particularly well-educated, but their parenting style actually had a lot in common with the fictional Andy Taylor from The Andy Griffith Show. While Angela Duckworth's research on grit wasn’t around back then, Andy Taylor modeled many of the traits Duckworth describes—compassion, high expectations, and letting kids learn from mistakes. My parents seemed to naturally follow a similar path, and it served as a kind of guardrail for them—a common-sense approach they likely picked up because it felt right, not because of any research.

I'm not claiming my success today is solely due to this upbringing, but I do feel like it had a meaningful impact. Especially when I see the outcomes of friends who had either very authoritarian or completely hands-off parents. There's something powerful in that balanced, "Andy Taylor" approach: patient guidance, firm boundaries, and leading by example.

It’s interesting to consider that despite all the developmental psychology and theories on parenting we have today, a lot of the fundamentals were demonstrated in simple, accessible ways by a character on 1960s TV. It’s a reminder that, at its core, effective parenting often just requires consistency, empathy, and a healthy dose of common sense.

nice, i first heard about OMSCS through hackernews and finished the program 2 years ago.

Sept 2 Update

> NASA issued the following explanation on Monday for the strange noises: "A pulsing sound from a speaker in Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft heard by NASA astronaut Butch Wilmore aboard the International Space Station has stopped. The feedback from the speaker was the result of an audio configuration between the space station and Starliner. The space station audio system is complex, allowing multiple spacecraft and modules to be interconnected, and it is common to experience noise and feedback."

Thiokol + Hercules = ATK

ATK + OribtalSciences = Orbital ATK

then NG bought out Orbital ATK

You've clearly never gone to a Starbucks Roastery before. Its a night and day difference between the standard cafe and a roastery.

sounds better than pumpkin spice bacon, and that's a thing.

its not the coffee you are buying, its the experience.

Inconclusive evidence but hard probably.

from the same article above, it seems like it's a critical part of this.

> “Everybody’s incentives are aligned,” the former official said. “The FCC is going to want to know what caused it so that lessons can be learned. And if they find malfeasance or bad actions or, just poor quality of oversight of the network, they have the latitude to act.”

If AT&T gets to decide if they are at fault, they will, of course, never be at fault. So a third-party investigation makes a lot of sense.

I would also suspect that the FCC would not be as well versed in determining if there was a hack or even who did it, which is why I feel like CISA would need to get involved in the investigation.

My coffee creamer expired weeks earlier than expected. Can we add that to the list while we are at it?

A solar flare targetted at ATT Infra only? Unlikely.

Could be a hack Could be a single point of failure Could be a config change that borked the system

Could be other things that make more sense we will have to wait for more info.
