You can have a look at Lightbot Jr and Kodable for more kid oriented programming games.

I have started building a game where kids make their own mini-games. It will be more focused on drawing and customizing items and then using them to build the mini-games, but there will also be some programming aspects as well.

Would this be something that may interest you and your kids?

If you'd like, I'll gladly exchange with you about the topic. You can find my email on the app store or on my website (visible in my profile).
> I’m so excited I will spend this summer at Google in Europe! ... amazing companies like [Google]

You should be aware, that Google is actively supporting the continued siege of Gaza and occupation of Palestine, in at least the following ways:

1. Financial support for US politicians (and political groups I suppose) which themselves support and execute the US policy of supporting Israel's direct occupation and siege. The US finances Israel and equips it with much of the technology it uses in these activities, and Google avtively supports this political status-quo.

2. Ditto, but as it regards support of the military junta ruling Egypt, which is repressing the Egyptian population but also enforcing the siege of Gaza from the South.

3. Suppression of political websites which are radically critical of US imperialism in general and its Israeli client's policies in particular. See report in the WSJ: https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-google-interferes-with-its-... , and also some items here on HackerNews: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=Google+WSWS

4. Promotion of pro-Zionist news outlets - the mainstream outlets in the US, such as CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS and Fox news; all of these have a pro-Israeli bias in their cover, and none of these meaningfully covers the situation in Gaza, nor calls for the lifting of the siege, nor supports the right of return of the refugees in Gaza, nor gives voice to such positions, while official Israeli and many pro-Israeli voices are often heard when Israel and Palestine are covered.

Also, Google engages is mass surveillance of Internet users at the behest of the US government, as has been revealed confirmed by the revelations of Edward Snowden. It is also involved in supplying AI capabilities to US military initiatives. etc.

Thus, while it is of course not at all my business to tell you what you should and shouldn't do, I urge you to consider the implications of working for Google, as this choice is at the very least problematic.
Maybe I went at the wrong time.... I went once, and decided to never come back again. Perhaps things improved.
Basically you have no true principles and will bend your values according to what you deem right and wrong.

Which is a slippery slope because if you knew you were wrong, you wouldn't be in a certain opinion and if you are so sure you are right, to the point you don't think the other side has anything valid to stand on, you probably shouldn't be trusted with decisions of this kind that impact people that may not be exactly like you.
Here's a useful thread that comprehensively debunks this point: https://twitter.com/jburnmurdoch/status/1347200811303055364

Winter pressure this year, no matter how you count it, is considerably worse than it has been in the past.
Doesn't iOS 14 have DNSoTLS? You could use that to block ads system-wide. I've been doing this on Android with my own sever for several years now, and it's so surprisingly effective that I forget internet ads are a thing.
"If Facebook’s endless privacy scandals have shown one thing, it’s that the company has far too much data on its users, and that they can’t be trusted not to sell, barter, or abuse that data whether for profit, growth, or negligence.

While individuals have long been rallying around #DeleteFacebook, there hasn’t been a comparable campaign for business. Enter: The Facebook-Free Business.

Being a Facebook-Free Business means your customers can trust that you aren’t collaborators with the Facebook machine. That when you spend your money with a Facebook-Free Business, none of that money will find its way back to Facebook’s coffers."
I can see how that would be a useful system. My approach/mindset is totally different. Instead I maintain a 1 year emergency fund in my checking account. If something important breaks (e.g. phone), I know I can replace it. Every month or so, I look to make sure I’m not drawing down my account balance. If I am, I mentally calibrate to spend less money on takeout, clothes, etc. If instead my balance is going up, I skim off excess money into an investment account.
So: "Palestine WAS a part of Syria", ergo "Palestine IS part of Syria"?

Sounds like: "Palestine was inhabited by Jews", ergo "Israel is entitled to the whole of Palestine".

I evidently have a defective logic board. I'd better check myself in for servicing.
As a freelancer based in EU working on some US projects, I'm forced to pay 5.5% fee to PayPal or some fix fee to the banks (SWIFT payment).

> nasal Covid-19 vaccine could be a reality in India soon with Bharat Biotech, the Indian vaccine maker, all set to start phase 1 and 2 trials of a nasal vaccine at Gillurkar Multi Speciality Hospital in Nagpur

I thing “soon” is still quite a ways, off at least many months for the general public. They are just starting Phase 1 and 2 trials. You also need a Phase 3 trial after that before it can be approved for the general public.
I'm interested in how they suggest using Buck here, I was under the impression it was just for Java projects.

Labour can only be "forced" with respect to some arbitrarily chosen zero of labour.

Libertarianism (for example) argues for a particular zero, communism for a different one.

Different governments disagree on where it is appropriate to set this zero. Israel has chosen its position, and although somewhat unfortunate for Israelis, I don't believe this is a terrible choice.
I am full-time R&D engineer at http://nuxeo.com working on integrating semantic analysis technologies into our open-source document management platform and applications.

All my code is released under LGPL or ASL2 on either the company mercurial repo http://hg.nuxeo.org or on apache projects we contribute to (Apache Chemistry and soon Apache Stanbol).

The company sells support subscriptions, consulting, training and custom dev.
As much talk (some justified) about Apple turning into a totalitarian Evil Empire, people forget that Adobe's mindset is from the print world, where it's commonplace for a single, proprietary company to control a functionally-optionless standard. Pantone, PDF, PostScript, press vendor lock-in.

Most design shops are strictly Mac or PC and stay that way. Not because of personal preference, but because they generally own $30k in fonts incompatible with a different platform.
It's very simple, just work for a big company that does open-source: RedHat, Novell, Canonical immediately spring to mind.

I made this to solve for a two fairly specific problems I had with SSH for a particular situation at work. One of the problems that I ran into was not being able to utilize scp to transfer files between my host and the remote host due to the agent forwarding option not being present in my version of SSH (OpenSSH_8.1p1). Hopefully this helps someone other than myself. Feedback is always welcome!
I would bet money that it's related, yes. The asshattery perpetuated by geohot et al. lead directly to these sorts of things--that's the most likely way I can see for an attack that necessitates downing the service to fix it to be launched. They've compromised what were assumed to be trusted clients, which seems likely to be the vector for an attack this serious. (And to forestall the usual: from a technical perspective, obviously Sony shouldn't have trusted clients at all, but just because a window's open doesn't mean going through it isn't trespassing and taking things while you're there isn't theft.)

You poke the fate bear, the fate bear eats you. Unfortunately in this case, it's also chewing on my leg, too.

The generalization of this could be called the statistical singleton fallacy: people (almost universally) inappropriately apply statistics to individuals. Statistics are only valid over populations (in the general sense). As the number of "things" in a population diminishes to 1, the confidence interval goes to 100%, i.e. you can not apply statistical conclusions to a singleton.

A simple graphic illustration of this is smoking. A smoker's probability of dying of a smoking-related disease before age 65 is 15.6%[1]. However, my probability of dying of a smoking-related disease (assuming I smoked) is either 0% (I don't die of a smoking-related disease) or 100% (I die).

People don't understand why some people smoke when there is such clear evidence of the increased probability of death due to smoking-related disease. Well, for each smoker, the probability is either 0% or 100%. If the smoker believes his probability is 0%, he will continue to smoke. If he believes his probability is 100%, he is a hypochondriac.

Thus, smokers either believe they are untouchable or they are crazy.

This is why it is so hard to sell "it's good for you" things... they are almost invariably statistically good for a large population, but can make no guarantees of "goodness" when applied to a singleton.

This applies in spades to health-anything:

* Individual's health: Lose weight and exercise - it's good for you.

* Program's health: testing is not guaranteed to find any bugs - if it were, running testing a second and third time would always find more bugs.

I was on the free Redhat Open Cloud (rhcloud.com) for the years it existed. Thus I would never use the free Oracle cloud.

Since then I'm a happy free Heroku user, but also tried Azure, Google, AWS. Azure had the worst UI and features, but the others similar bad. Google also cannot be trusted for such a freebie, because of their random PM policies, Amazon forgot why. Both high risk to pay unexpectedly.
It's still interesting to read about people minimising the number of syscalls and memory copy/allocation actions. When I was working at Zeus on their webserver back in 2001, it had a lot of effort devoted to exactly that. Strings referring to chunks of header rather that malloc-and-copy. A stat() cache to avoid touching the disk.

Now evolution and Big Bag are the big dogmas. They are the status quo today. They are not teached as theories that could be improved or even replaced in the future with something better, but as what already happened, no doubt about them. You see people talking about the first femtoseconds of the Universe with absolute confidence.

How did cosmologists acquire the confidence to speculate about the first moments of the Universe? By spending a century developing theories that were continously improved and replaced.

Nobody came down the mountain bearing stone tablets inscribed with the concepts of red shift, cosmic background radiation or cosmological inflation. These concepts were radically anti-dogmatic in their time. Today's theories will probably be overthrown by something similarly radical eventually.

As a minor nitpick, I dislike the term "Holland" when referring to the Netherlands. Additionally, you're based in Den Bosch, which is not even in Holland.

I see a lot of people want window snapping, and I avoid switching because of this also. However, after switching, window snapping frustrates me. Occasionally I need it, so I use a tool for it, and I take advantage of it about once a month.

Maybe if windows offered gestures and was POSIX compliant I wouldn't mind switching. Then I would want a laptop that is about as thin/light as a retina with an equivalent display and trackpad plus a MagSafe style adaptor. Then I would want a proper package manager and a time machine style backup solution.

Then I could try to find a way to integrate iOS services into my workflow properly, but I still won't have iMessage, which is a bummer. I would consider that a point against apple if I didn't like iMessage/FaceTime so much. I guess that could be factored into switching cost. I just don't care to leave iOS at this point.

I will agree that finder is really unnecessarily frustrating and that there are a few drawbacks to OS X. Especially with a couple random bugs lately. However, the experience, for me, has been overwhelmingly net positive, and there are just so many things I would miss by switching right now that I don't see it happening.
1) I don't understand what this example is supposed to demonstrate.

2) By "power" I meant a formal notion of expressiveness: Neither feature expressions nor feature macros add anything to the language that you can't already express with existing constructs. Like I said: It's about affordances, not capability.
I feel the same way actually, but I realize that my opinion on this isn't mainstream. Using OS X has always been an exercise in frustration for me. Outside of the "real" shell the entire UI doesn't seem to be designed for software professionals.

Ironically, the more that Windows tries to be like OS X the less I like it. Thankfully, it's still possible to turn much of that stuff off.

Hotplug events are especially interesting. There are Firewire memory dumpers or attempts to reboot from an USB stick. And they simply might have to unplug things if they want to physically move the machine, even if they have spliced the power source.

Yes, but I don't use facebook because my Grandma's on it (well, actually she isn't, but if she was it wouldn't matter).

If I found a new social network that I thought offered something new I would start using that in parallel to facebook. Then I'd use the new one more as more people moved over, until eventually facebook just became a way of emailing my grandma.

A lot of these facebook killer conversations seem to be based on the idea that I'm only going to use one social network. I'd argue that's not true at all.
Thanks, but I would prefer to remain a bit anonymous until I can get this sorted out.

My goal with this thread is to try and get some connection to somebody at PayPal that can help me.

AppMakr.com is a platform that helps anyone build apps and we launched over-the-air one-click install for testing back in November for our users; we call it AppDrop. You can find more info and watch a video here: http://go.appmakr.com/appdrop.

AppDrop and similar techniques really helps in reducing the friction of getting an app tested and made. This is a trend that more and more solution providers will jump on.
Yep

Not only that, but many enterprise systems are not just a server, or even a couple of servers, but a cluster of servers of various configurations.

With good bandwidth, you could pull the entire bunch down locally to use in dev and testing. That's unheard of as far as I know (although it has been the holy grail for some time) Businesses that start and grow in an environment like this are going to have significant advantages over older businesses.
Seems like a good hack for shoes too (admittedly, just the toes section).

They never moved per se, but apparently they have some kind of US subsidiary.

They actually made a deal back in 2012 to sell all their USD business to CoinLab which would have made compliance CoinLab's problem while MtGox could sit back and collect their revenue share. Maybe they're kicking themselves for not going through with the CoinLab deal.

Let's see how much of a capitalist you are. Why do you believe in the Efficient Market Hypothesis? What evidence do you have in its favor?

I humbly suggest to you that, if P!=NP, then the Efficient Market Hypothesis (any flavor!) cannot be true, as otherwise we could program markets to solve NP-complete problems in P time.

I actually worked in one of the most expensive hotels in London. If people were assholes to the staff or broke any of the hotel rules (which were extremely lax WRT prostitution etc.), they would be marked in the system as a "5 star guest". Any time in the future they tried to book a room, the hotel would simply tell them they had no availability.

I find window functions to be an excellent way to find the max version of a set of things. The trick is to partition by some columns (similar to how you would use a group by), order by descending on your version number field, and use the row_number() function which is very lightweight. Then you filter for all entries where rownumber = 1 and voila you have the max version without having to link back on yourself!
thanks very much for the reply, it was a case of RTFM on my end!
I don't see the distinction you're drawing. The ability for a user to get their data in and out of a system is crucial to a user's agency, as is the ability to provision and tear down a service at a name they control. UNIX system administration skills aren't a prerequisite for either of those things. That they are largely necessary today is a failing not a feature.
