Well good advice in general, even though the way you phrase your comment makes it look like you think breast feeding is no better than the formulas.

I am a medical student and we have been told at uni from professors (paediatricians) that breast feeding _is_ better than formulas I think with regards to asthma or some other allergic stuff. There are reasons that mothers should not or cannot breastfeed and it's not the end of the world, but in general I believe they should.

And really the weight of proof rests on the baby formulas to prove that they're OK. Even common sense suggests breast feeding is better, it's been the way people have been growing up for millenia all around the world.
In other words: this time is different.
My hair recently went significantly less white - a significant fraction of the hairs that I vainly plucked because they were white at the tips were dark at the roots. It correlated with a significant change in diet to eat more healthily, but I've noticed it happen before so it may also be seasonal or related to some other factor such as how stressed I am or how well I am sleeping.
The reading experience is excellent! It depends a lot on the software that you are using and how it's customized. I mostly use emacs on the day-to-day. Battery life in the range of 10-13 hours, depending on the task.
> It's the same regulations for everyone. There's no mystery to it.

That's either naive or disingenuous.

CCTV News / CGTN has had a licence for years. Suddenly Ofcom finds that it is in the name of the wrong company and that they cannot transfer it to the correct company because that company ultimately reports to the Chinese Communist Party.

Anyone can make their own conclusions but to me it seems quite obvious that there has been a conscious decision to act against CGTN now.

I'm not saying it's right or wrong but, again, let's not be naive about things.
I'm interested in seeing how this plays out. I've seen such a volume of smartphones die in give or take five-year-old waves from "sudden death syndrome" EMMC failure. Right now the Note 4/S7 series are really peaking. New industry standard for planned obsolescence, or just a few bad caps?
This happens on a device with no apps installed, with no apps running. No Apple ID. Fresh install.

Also, locally running apps can trigger their own notifications.
ptrace(2) comes to mind.
It has been a pleasure using the Erlang runtime to scratch my concurrency itch while avoiding the async / await bandaid.
History isn't written so much by the "winners" as "the people left in charge after the war". If the US and its South Vietnamese allies had won the war, the post-war characterisation of certain figures, philosophies and motivations in Vietnam would have been very different. Vietnam didn't however, win the war decisively enough to force a change of government to the US, and it suited the politicians still in charge of the US to downplay how important preventing communism from spreading in southeast Asia had once been and focus on how Cold War strategy switched to different theatres and approaches.
> Belgian schools do not in any way teach that Belgium is solely responsible for the Rwandan genocide

Making the cackhanded pre-1970s Belgian administration "solely" responsible for the 1993 genocide is an exceptionally unorthodox (i.e. stupid) hot take, so it's no wonder that no school is teaching it.

That's comparable to claiming the the US, British and French are "solely" responsible for the Holocaust because they forced Germany to sign the Versailles treaty. Yes it might have played a role, but it's clearly ridiculous.
You're right, that thought did cross my mind.
How big is the market for art and other entertainment? We already having "starving artists" with the limited pool of artists that we have now. Even supposing art consumption exploded, people generally don't consume a lot of lower quality, amateur art. Compare the earnings of a musician on the billboard charts to, say, the most popular local band in your city. Similarly, compare the revenue of a major league sports team with a minor league team. Both of these demonstrate that only the elite entertainers have enough success to quit their day job. I don't expect this pattern to change, only for the number of elite to grow slightly.
this is the answer. i can't believe it when friends tell me they don't log in. /r/all is just brutal.
"One of the distinguishing features of anything that aspires to the name of science is the reproducibility of experimental results. Yet Taylor never published the data on which his pig iron or other conclusions were based. When Carl Barth, one of his devotees, took over the work at Bethlehem Steel, he found Taylor’s data to be unusable. Another, even more fundamental feature of science—here I invoke the ghost of Karl Popper—is that it must produce falsifiable propositions. Insofar as Taylor limited his concern to prosaic activities such as lifting bars onto rail cars, he did produce propositions that were falsifiable—and, indeed, were often falsified. But whenever he raised his sights to management in general, he seemed capable only of soaring platitudes. At the end of the day his “method” amounted to a set of exhortations: Think harder! Work smarter! Buy a stopwatch!"

During my M.S. studies, I had the bad fortune to take a few management classes, thinking that I could round out my technical education better if I had some better insight into the field...(also secretly hoping that my M.S. would help vault me into management positions). Every single piece of literature I read (and it was a couple thousand pages worth over three courses) could be summed up in the paragraphs I quoted above. Or rather, the material I read was more or less a continuing rehash of the above interspersed with absolutely common sense statements like "employees need to communicate" or "if some part of your supply chain breaks down, you can't make things".

Much of it just read like shameless self-promotion, management "experts" with no particular experience managing anything more complicated a coffee pot wrote endlessly the same material over and over again about how something they knew was a unique and important observation that would revolutionize the business world if corporations would only just follow their advice...and then they'd never actually quite get to what that advice was.

It reminded me an awful lot of those late-night "make money quick" infomercials that never actually quite get around to telling you how to make money quick other than to go out and sell other people on the idea that you can tell them how to make money quick.

The academic papers were among the worst, least rigorous analyses of any phenomenon I'd ever encountered. I'm pretty convinced that if you can write a summary about a company, any company, for 2 or 3 pages, stick in some metric-less graphs that don't mean anything in particular but have labels like "time value vs. motivation" and fill your citations with non-sequitur references to Peter Drucker, you too can get published in management journals.

I think you mean 38 minutes. To be fair, Dr.Clark's message was really long. Maybe, he already had your post in his editor before you corrected it. I can't fault either of you.
Or, everyone leaves facebook for a more "true" social experience. How about social networks created dynamically based on your location with the people around you? You know, real life social interactions. (Color, for example?)

Left are parents (and grandparents) who update their statuses and post on walls because they're comfortable with facebook and don't really understand that "other" stuff...

I'd highly recommend Compass, but I did a quick & dirty conversion of this to Sass: https://github.com/nathos/Sass-Boilerplate

There's an article every day on hacker news about violations of people's rights in the United States. Yesterday it was about the FBI using gag orders to illegally get information about citizens. Today it is Obama violating the US constitution.

What are you going to do about it? What can you do about it? If it's not happening to you, or you don't know about it, you don't care. If it is happening to you, you're powerless to stop it. That's the genius of the whole thing.
was no pandemic in January

It was known in January.

On January 24, 2020, the Senate Committees on Health and Foreign Relations held a closed meeting with only Senators present to brief them about the COVID-19 outbreak and how it would affect the United States.

Now, I hope your professor didn't try to pass that quote as his.

It's an old saying, most frequently encountered as "Linux is free, as long as your time is worthless".
So are people switching to Macbook Pros or to Mac OS X?

Because I think the the industrial design of the laptop is driving a lot of people over, not Mac OS X.

Are people switching to Apple desktop machines at the same rate? I'm not seeing it. If I were to buy a desktop tomorrow it would definitely not be a Mac, but if I were to buy a laptop tomorrow it would be a Macbook Pro.
In my experience it's heavily tied to whether you are a GUI person or a command line person.

Most of the developers I know are using Macs, with only myself and a few others preferring Linux. The Mac guys use the terminal, as it is a necessity. But they are relatively slow at it. Most of them don't even really use tab completion as much as they could, if at all. They also use the mouse very heavily, especially in their web browser, finder, and text editor.

The developers I know that prefer Linux, including myself, freaking fly on the keyboard. We hardly ever touch the mouse. We tab complete like crazy. We use a ton of keyboard shortcuts for everything. Doesn't matter if we are vim or emacs, it's keyboard keyboard keyboard.

I think the explanation is very simple. If you are a mouse using person, and you compare a Linux system to a Mac, the Mac will be more comfortable, especially with that great touchpad. If you are a keyboard person, the Mac will drive you insane and Linux will be happy land. People tend to change their software rather than change themselves, so mouse people end up on Macs.
I will echo your echo, along with a JavaScript tutorial by Resig which I rate at least as highly as The Good Parts:

FWIW, using only ubuntu, I did both of these things last month to create a Christmas DVD of home movies and cell phone video clips.

Without much fuss, I transfered the video files via ssh from my jail-broken iphone, then edited, mastered and burned the DVDs using kdenlive. It was much easier than I expected.

>When a problem solver runs OS X, their options are severely limited, by design.

Hardly. On the surface, sure; that's part of the appeal. Underneath? GCC's a couple keystrokes away. There's even http://www.opensource.apple.com/ which has kernels[1] and lots of low-level code you can hack away at. Less than an OSS Unix distro? Absolutely. But not by all that far.

It feels oddly ironic for you to criticize an article of being one sided and then for you to make various assumptions based on the article.
Awesome! Please, please, please let us know if you have any feedback!
I find resumes pretty efficient - I can look them over, and make a snap judgement wrt which ones are worth a phone screen, which aren't. Over many years of doing this, I find a good correlation between first impression and subsequent candidate quality (meaning, I've had to interview folks where the resume screamed "no hire"). Stuff like coherent formatting, brief narrative and concise, useful explanations of roles and technologies are, believe it or not, quite beyond some people.

The thought of trawling someone's repo instead, having to take the time to get an in depth evaluation of what the code's doing and whether that's effective makes me shudder. But then perhaps people doing this just make a first impression of the code, rather than a deep understanding?

Honestly I can see a GitHub being a "nice to have", but certainly not the main deal.

Out of interest, anyone else that's been hiring in the UK seeing any traction with GitHub? I'm in a pretty enterprisey space, and past clutch of CVs we've had haven't so much as mentioned it.
To add to this, implementing a bunch of boilerplate often means copy/pasting code. That means you risk introducing mistakes where one copy is wrong[1].

Back in the eighties I worked in the military with teletypes. Some examples are:

https://www.radiomuseum.org/r/siemens_fernschreiber_t37.html
https://www.cryptomuseum.com/telex/siemens/t100/index.htm
https://www.camion-militar.com/spa/item/ART02979.html

There were also other makes, like Olivetti.

They were connected to various networks, e.g. military, the civil Telex network or the ICAO AFTN network.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telex
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeronautical_Fixed_Telecommuni...

They all used a 5 bit character set Baudot/ITA2:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baudot_code (I can still read a paper tape message directly from the reel)

As these teletypes were quite slow (typically 50 baud) and mechanical, the procedure was for line shifts to always be CR CR LF. The reason for this is to allow for the carriage (printing head) to have time enough to move to the start of the line before the line feed.

This was enforced in the procedures, so you might end up with a rejected message if you did not do it properly.

When computers were introduced in the various networks, ITA2 was converted to ASCII and some of these restrictions were relaxed a bit.
Menstrual cycle and immune system are very closely connected. It is good that possible effect of inflammatory process on menstrual cycle gets more attention and research.
They could approach the intermediate services that are usually used to access the blockchain. Moxie had his NFT removed by one of the market places and gone it was from the wallet, gone for all practical purposes.

Hey. I'm in a similar situation as OP (though with much less experience). Are you still hiring by any chance?
There are actually at least two styles that do exactly that. They are called OpenSCAD and JSCAD. The code above would be simple subtract(cube([h,w,t]), translate([h/2,w/2,t], cylinder({radius, height})))

I don't know why the article makes it sound like cadquery is superior in every way possible. Sure BREP is a lot more powerful than CSG, but with extra power comes extra learning curve. If all you ever design is 3d prints for reprap (and I'd guesstimate 95% of hackaday audience falls into that category) cadquery may be an overkill
The article references 'defer' being in several newer languages, but seems to have missed the 'scope' implementation in the D language which I think was implemented long before the other languages got their 'defer' feature.
The libertarian party supports School Choice, Actual Education for children, and less protectionism based on "seniority"

So it is no wonder that unionized teachers would oppose the Libertarian Party, libertarians want children to get a good education and allow parents to choose the type of education their child gets, taking away large amounts of power from Teachers who believe they should supplant parents and "know better".

This has never been more clear than in the Age of COVID where the hypocrisy of Teachers and their union has been on full display with their refusal to teacher (aka their job)
OK, I thought it was like Apple
> What’s offensive about instructions on how to fill out a ballot above and beyond the fact of them asking you to vote no?

Nothing. The outrage is about them telling you to vote no. If they were trying to help you fill out your ballot in good faith, there wouldn't be a problem.
The major studies that have been done are fairly easy to find with some google investigation. I looked at them all over a year ago and formed my conclusions. I unfortunately didn't keep around a list of links to post in debates on internet forums.

This post mentions a few of the main ones (I'm not vouching for the post's content): https://www.laleche.org.uk/letting-babies-cry-facts-behind-s...
Yoo, I am here as well folks. I am one of the devs. Ask me anything you want :) Happy to answer.
Political campaigns remind everyone to vote (raise turnout) - including the people who are now indignant and will vote against you.

It seems possible that Amazon may not have properly accounted for that.
You are right in most cases. I find it useful for transactional code though, where I might be modifying a bunch of data structures and I want to undo everything on error. Doesn't really make much sense to write classes in this case if the code is really function specific.
AWS Lightsail is not available on Azure.

And... there's nothing inherently horrible about lightsail, but if I've decided that's all I need, I may go with other companies that have that model as their main focus. If I decide I want more of the AWS infrastructure, I'd stay in AWS (or... GCP, or Azure, or whatever).

Ubuntu and friends are really, really bad at packaging Mono, and have been for a long time. Mono development on Arch Linux is delightful.

I suggest trying to compile it all yourself instead of going for packages on Debian-derived systems.
I'd hardly call taking down a website "destroying an industry for profit and domination". The OpenNI Framework source code isn't going to disappear.

I don't see how doing that deletes your account or your data for that matter. From what I understand it just shows you content that was 'supposedly' deleted but in fact it was just hidden.
>Actually, you're wrong, sometimes the iOS apps have features that Android doesn't have yet...

I didn't say they didn't, nor did I even imply it. Understand that this doesn't change the fact that Google witheld app features from other OEMs and kept enhanced versions for its own partners for competitive reasons. Just because Apple did it too doesn't mean Google didn't (as I already pointed out).

>Android is not vendor lock in, because Google isn't the vendor in this scenario, Samsung, Amazon, Sony, etc are.

I was talking about walled gardens, and wasn't making an arbitrary distinction of "vendor" lock-in.

As I was saying though, from the standpoint of a walled garden, Android as a free operating system has been remarkably successful as a soft wall for Google, getting their advertisements on more handsets more quickly than any other method. Instead of risking consumers switching, they are eliminating competitors before consumers even get the option to switch. OEMs have been keen to adopt an OS that cost them next to nothing and played nice with branding and in house apps.

Clearly Amazon and Samsung modifying the OS is a concern of Google's, and they are combating this with native apps, web apps, and their own competitive offerings (hardware included).
Personally, I think it's totally valid. (PhD mathematician here).
I disagree with this, here's why:

1. If you try to make the name descriptive, it could possibly be accurate, but lack precision. To take on your example "Customer Management Tools" - ultimately there's a whole host of things all over the stack that could be considered "Customer Management Tools". Some words even come with organizational _baggage_ where stakeholders immediately think "ah we've been waiting on this for years" and you have to explain, "no this doesn't do that at all"

2. Software can change in functionality or sometimes even purpose over the course of it's life time (let's say 2-4 years, or longer). While the name is typically easy to change in user facing parts of the product, repository names and URIs are the harder parts and typically get cemented after creation.

If you combine points 1 and 2, you get something that's worse than wrong or cryptic - you can get naming that is actively misleading

I've seen real examples where someone started a project called "promo renderer". 3 years later new ppl onboarding onto the project will say "this renders promos? where's the code that shows the promos?" and the answer will be "well this doesn't technically render the promos, it's a configuration system which helps decides which promos get rendered; the actual render is another system". Unfortunately, it was almost impossible for the day 1 dev to see that level of nuance/precision.

My final argument is not necessarily that detached names are better, but there are definitely sharp downsides which I've felt that you have not considered.
Maybe add an attribution <quote> -Trump, otherwise it looks like the random ramblings he goes on.
Yeah it seems to be more an issue of volume than the price direction.
It took me only three or so days to get used to it.

The lack of autocorrect was so refreshing that I just kept typing for practice.

The downside now is that, unlike the QWERTY to Dvorak switch, I've become exceedingly clumsy at typing on ordinary phone keyboards.
>Is it someone's right to use a platform to push an agenda that leads to impacting other people's rights?

Seriously?
No, it wasn't the problem, and you are willfully or blindly misinterpreting what happened.

The complete lack of evidence and lack of anything but witness testimony was the first stage - as soon as any witness was interviewed it became immediately clear that there was in fact, no evidence at all.

Repeating this "things were dismissed out of hand" meme is true only in the sense that if a man came into court and said he was king of america he would also be given very little space to waste the courts time.
Probably not because of the ban. Probably for Facebook's relentless facilitation of the person who incited treason and sedition, as well as the cultivation of conspiracy theory groups that produced the insurrectionists.
> Most people on Hacker News are entrepreneurs that run their own private businesses.

Has there been a survey done on this? Because that's not the impression I have at all. Entrepeneurs are obviously over-represented in contrast to the general population, but I doubt they're the majority.
Or they slam on the brakes at the end of what should be a merging ramp or lane because the fore and aft distances to the other traffic that were good enough for the prior N people would be too close for them.
Which is totally irrelevant in the context of this discussion (which is on default passwords).
