I would argue that a well-run school addresses many of the items on this short list. I learned most of these in my schooling, and I saw most of these things being taught in the reasonably-run schools I have been a part of in 25 years of teaching middle school and high school in the US.

That said, I also know there are many schools that are so poorly run that very little of this comes up. So the larger, and much harder question becomes: What do we do politically to make more schools well-run?

The answer to that question is critical, but probably isn't covered in a 2-min read.
Tablet PCs have been around for ages, removing the keyboard and slapping IOS on a thin, well made one may be finally doing it right but I'd hardly call it 'magical'.
So if I understand you correctly it can pay to just sit in on a table and auto-fold? From what little detail they gave in the OP it sounded like the guy must fold everything but primo.
who actually does all the animation and drawing for this game? the players? like how do you do "haircuts"?
There is a simpler way to make scripts openable in the Finder, which is to give them the ".command" extension (".tool" also works, I think). This automatically makes them open in a terminal window, which is both more and less convenient, depending on whether or not the script fails. :)
We switched from ActiveMQ (with JMS) to RabbitMQ (with AMQP) on our enterprise grade application, and we are extremely happy with it. Rock stable, message delivery always happens quickly (enough), and you can't seem to overwhelm it with too many messages.
The decision to use PHP is not represented in the graphs. What the graphs say is that as you gain more experience with PHP you don't necessarily become more productive. 1 yr PHP experience == 10 year PHP experience.

lol. why would this damage your trust in them?

if anything this is a progressive move that fits perfectly with their mission.

Having said that they should have used bitcoin or monero
There are no known attacks against Telegram.

The problem is entirely that its cryptography was sketchy and just plain weird to begin with. It wasn't wrong, per se, but raised some eyebrows. And then some of the questionable choices were silently fixed removing the ability to MITM, etc, but with no real notice.

It's not FUD.
AI is only as good as the underlying data. People are TERRIBLE at reading people's emotions. If you cannot teach the data model good inputs--how are you going to get decent outputs?

If China and other nonwestern nations use AI like these emotion reading programs--they will end up with bad outputs. This will end up putting them behind nations that sensibly regulate how AI is used. Sensible regulations are a tall order to be sure but we must endeavour towards it.
Plugin is installed by default, but code-with-me is disabled by default. You need to explicitly enable access and accept a EULA before it's enabled.
Exactly. Especially after tooting his "we're a non-profit, we can never sell out" crap all over the place.
Not to mention all of the fossil fuels burned to ship lumber overseas instead of cross-country...
Yeah I’ve been brainstorming how to seed the community. I think it’s a more complex problem than Reddit faced because it’s all real time. When GPT3 came out I thought about making chat bots or something that people can interact with but haven’t really follow up with that (plus who likes chat bots anyway).

Thanks for your advice though.
That's actually mind blowing to think about. Thanks for sharing this.
Are you really writing HTML in HTML if you are using a wysiwyg editor?

> So to me, a putting Dart source file right next to Dart2JS output on the open web is no different than asm.js, and I think both are equally valid approaches to moving the web forward.

I think this is potentially interesting comparison. Yes, both Dart and asm.js are tools that are involved with both generating content and executing that content (unlike your first example with servo, which is apples-to-oranges for the reason you mentioned).

But there are big differences here. With asm.js, it was a specific goal to make optimizing the code in other browsers as simple as possible. That was one of the main reasons for actually defining asm.js, so there is a clear "contract" - "this is what compiled C++ code looks like, these patterns are easy to optimize in obvious ways." That avoids the risk of there being anything special about generating code using emscripten and executing it in Firefox: the generated code is asm.js with the "contract" just mentioned.

For Dart there isn't anything comparable. dart2js emits JavaScript code, which runs in all browsers, but there is no reason to think it's performance is or will stay similar to the Dart VM. Instead, the Dart strategy there seems to be more along the lines of "the Dart VM is open source, if you want comparable performance to Chrome you can adopt that codebase." There is merit to that approach - it's much better than if Dart were closed source - but it is quite different than the one in the previous paragraph.

The second major difference is that while both Dart and asm.js relate to both content creation and execution, one is made by Google, which owns several of the most important sites on the web, whereas the other is made by Mozilla which obviously is nowhere near anything of the sort and not even trying to be.

Why this last point matters is that if the VM eventually becomes much faster than the dart2js path, Google can essentially force other browsers' hands by adopting Dart on Google sites. Imagine if google.com, gmail, google docs etc. all run much faster on the VM than otherwise - other browsers would be forced to adopt the VM to stay relevant. This is huge leverage that Google has. You can't be a browser that people use if you are not competitive on Google-owned properties.

Going back to the previous point, should that happen, adopting the VM might be the only option - there is no way, unlike with asm.js, to get similar performance otherwise (in the asm.js case, the high performance is achieved with a small modification to an existing JS engine, which could be done on other engines as well - no one needs to adopt SpiderMonkey). So this is the potential bad scenario that could happen due to both of these issues.

Obviously there are similarities between Dart and asm.js too, as you mentioned. But I believe the two factors I described explain much of the concern some people have about what Google's plans with Dart are. It might all end up ok, but Google might also leverage its huge influence in multiple areas for what is best for Google, and not for the web as a whole. There is no such risk with asm.js.
Of the serious ones "Fiasco" made a deep impression on me. The alien contact mystery is not bad, but the main theme is certainly human behavior and decision making.
You should be more amazed DoD plans to sail it through the Himalayas strait through terrestrial India.
You could also make an effort to watch things others watch, instead of believing all information will come to you without any effort
Sell those tokens in an ICO to fund the app development!
If you want to talk about Imgur.com being shady, they make their mobile site slower on purpose than the desktop site... combined with multiple "download our app for a faster experience" ad plastered on it...
Assuming by "a large percent of the population" you mean "people who are no longer dating," this is not a good way to think about it. Analogously, there are many cultural trends that people don't engage with after they are teenagers (music, fashion, etc.) but it would be wrong to claim that these trends don't have high cultural impact.
I'd seriously consider the $99/year if I could install Office on linux. I get that I'm not exactly the average user, but my options as a linux user are rather limited.
+1 - most of grails is also written in java, drives me crazy when trying to debug some of the day to day weirdness you get with grails..

It's good to get a view of whats going on within the community here, I've only ever seen it from the outside looking in.

That said I love groovy as a language. A friend and I wrote a fairly complicated currency breakdown algorithm (lots of corner cases and BigDecimals) once in groovy in about 3 hours, was about 40 lines of code. The production codebase was java so after porting it was something like 300+ lines of unintelligble masses of .divide() .multiply() .compareTo() and so on.
I think I have a karma with python. Every python project a needed to touch I lost a lot of time dealing with mixed spaces and tabs scattered throughout every source file. I really know I am unlucky, this cannot be normal.
You are right, this is not a QA problem, but much more complex.

I'd say it's a mix of people who don't equate the Facebook app with the Facebook content, who don't like Facebook as a company, but loves the content and who don't feel that their recommendation is necessary for spreading the app (that is, one can give it 1 star to punish FB for my app crashing, but I still recommend friends to download it)
So in our app, we have a file per react component, and our stuff is abstracted heavily into layers, so there are hundreds of files. There are also several different entry points, eg for the desktop js, a tiny app that runs embedded on phones. Browserify means that when we bundle each of these apps, it can include only the exact source files that it needs. This would be an absolute nightmare with concat.

Furthermore, we also use 6to5 and es6 modules, so whilst we use browserify in our gulp build, if another team used, say AMD, they could pull in our modules easily.

I'm interested in using webpack but the docs felt unfinished.
You probably want a soft body physics engine, not a rigid body one. Something that could use Verlet + pressure-based techniques, for example.
I did one more than that. I lied.

I'm not saying that this works all the time or that it's ethical, but sometimes it can result in a significant pay rise.
>I'm thoroughly convinced companies like Pine64 are going to completely displace Google (and perhaps even Apple) because they work with rather than against the developer community.

I applaud your enthusiasm but there's no planet on which Pine64 replaces Google or Apple. Unless they somehow convince the likes of someone like Samsung to make the switch, their market share will be measured in basis points.

The average consumer doesn't care at all how Google and Apple treat developers. And the average developer is going to go to the place they make money, even if it's more painful to do business with those giants.
What are the environmental effects of the chemical mix? How do you reclaim the chemicals from the cooling water?
> As the coverage area is a sphere in reality

You mean a circle projected onto a sphere. Or the intersection of a cone with a sphere's surface. Or I don't even know what you mean.

Latitude and longitude are just a crummy coordinate system.

The reason why a given point has more satellite coverage is simply because the circles are on the northern and southern extents of the satellite's movement more of the time. It really is that simple. You're scrunching yourself all up with map projections, etc. If you want, we can go all the way through the spherical trig and derive the exact distribution.

Or you can just eyeball a crummy desmos notebook of the 1D version of the problem: https://www.desmos.com/calculator/u2s44maasf

> it should look stretched east/west on a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercator_projection

Jeez dude. Just no. Yes, it would be sqooshed on e.g. an equirectangular projection, but not a Mercator. You linked the Wikipedia article. It's right there at the top of the page.

"As in all cylindrical projections, parallels and meridians on the Mercator are straight and perpendicular to each other. In accomplishing this, the unavoidable east–west stretching of the map, which increases as distance away from the equator increases, is accompanied in the Mercator projection by a corresponding north–south stretching, so that at every point location the east–west scale is the same as the north–south scale, making it a conformal map projection."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tissot%27s_indicatrix

That's why the satellite footprints on the Mercator projection map that you shared are (correctly) drawn as circles that are getting bigger in apparent size, instead of ellipses.

At the school that I now teach at part-time, we explain this in 5th grade.

> As to the US vs North America again I was trying to say different things. The equator pass through South America therefore all of North America benefits. However, only the continental US benefits enough for a 400 satellite network vs 1200 to provide 24/7 coverage.

OK, which is already modelled in the study that you were responding to. But you implied that Starlink could further move satellites towards CONUS beyond what's modelled. And now you're handwaving about orbital dynamics when I've been mentioning that inclination improves coverage at the northern and southern extremes since the beginning of our conversation. What are you looking to accomplish, exactly? At some point you're just embarrassing yourself.

I was part of a team retained by Starlink doing early feasibility study of optical satellite to satellite links, deriving control system pointing requirements based on relative movement between SV's in various choices of inclined orbit. It's somewhat cringe that you keep trying to explain (wrongly) to me how this works.

P.S. There's one minor effect we've not discussed. It doesn't increase coverage, but it makes individual satellite passes longer. The Earth rotates in the same direction as the satellite is apparently moving near its northern/southern extremes, which lengthens satellite pass times.
National Lab scientist here. Too much of a revolving door has led to most National Labs becoming like universities now. LBNL is now effectively a UC Berkeley division (check it, their Lab directors, associate directors, division directors are all Berkeley faculty).

Secondly, DOE now is obsessed with the same productivity metrics, which flows down from the Congress. Dollars per paper has become the metric - which means you are trying to tighten the productivity screws all the time.

For example, I had five papers last year and was just barely FC (fully contributing) and narrowly escaped getting written up for unsatisfactory productivity. Even worse, unlike tenure, national lab scientist positions are entirely soft money funded. This state of affairs results in a situation where you need to be bringing in over half a million dollars per year to pay your salary+overhead if you are a famous person.
It's not a requirement for everyone. Just federally funded groups. Also, these, days, I'm pretty sure you can just turn on captioning and youtube will use voice recognition to do a decent job of captioning your video for free.
Wasn't arguing.

Except for whether we're in a bear or bull market. It's definitely a bull currently.
I joined the South Asian Club and every evening, there is a music session. I was pleasantly surprised to find people from all over south Asian..Indians, Pakistanis and bangaladesh appearing to perform..instrumentals and vocal. And in multiple languages too. My absolute fav part of clubhouse.

I am trained in Carnatic classical music and now I want to learn Hindustani style. The members are of different ages and the young people are a delight. They are polite and at different skill levels. So..it has massively revived and boosted and expanded my music universe.

Most South Asians would know what an Antakshari session means...basically this clubhouse room is like that.

Right now, I am in a room where people are part of 2 minute debates. Pro and against debaters randomly assigned. The topic now is: “Do aliens exist?” Fun!

The big rooms can be difficult to navigate and engage if one doesn’t know how to time oneself without interrupting. Because we don’t see each other.

There is tons of security issues. But that’s probably why this is still beta. For now, I listen a lot more than I contribute.

It is a ‘real identity’ service. Your phone number and your real voice is on the server. There is no downvoting(ahem) but there is self moderation. The best part is one can leave if they dislike a discussion and one won’t be heard if they are disruptive if the moderator so decides. No public shaming. Just a lack of platform for unpalatable views(from the room moderators’ POV). I think this might well become the most well behaved social media we have seen in a while on the interwebs.
Indeed, it's specifically standardized in SSL 3.0:

initialization vectors

When a block cipher in CBC mode is used, an initialization vector (IV) is maintained for each key. This field is first initialized by the SSL handshake protocol. Thereafter the final ciphertext block from each record is preserved for use with the following record.

Paul Kocher co-wrote this spec. A decent illustration of why people shouldn't design their own crypto protocols; some of the most skilled people in the world manage to make mistakes. At least this mistake was tiny.
Though a bit unclear, the current favored theory is that pulmonary hypoxia per se leads to risk. Unlike other vascular territory which dilates due to hypoxia, the pulmonary vasculature constricts. Over time, this leads to pulmonary arterial hypertension, which can lead to right heart failure.
The head of ICE should be shacked over this - not because of the way it was done, but because homeland security should concern themselves with nothing except stopping terrorist attacks until the present war on terror is over. With all the urgency politicians have put in to it, we can afford to waste time on trivial issues of copyright. Unless punished, they will never learn.
If your cortisol levels are all wonky because of sleep apnea, you'd think a blood test might indicate that. Being stabbed with a needle sounds a lot more pleasant than a sleep study.

Were you regularly tired? What finally pushed you over the edge to look into sleep medicine? I'm wondering if there's something symptomy I should be looking for.

Note that 51% of Wikipedians believe that "The hallmark symptom of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in adults is excessive daytime sleepiness. Typically, an adult or adolescent with severe long-standing obstructive sleep apnea will fall asleep for very brief periods in the course of usual daytime activities if given any opportunity to sit or rest. This behavior may be quite dramatic, sometimes occurring during conversations with others at social gatherings".

It's not "let's diagnose Thomas" day on HN or anything, but: nobody who spends any time with me during the day thinks I'm epsilon from falling asleep.

How did you end up as an ER nurse? How did the state transition from ER nurse to startup developer start happening? I've known about your profession for ages but never thought to ask about it.
Seems like the WakeMate guys are desperate to burn bridges. There are proper channels for addressing negative reviews... This isn't one of them. It's difficult for me to maintain interest in a company that doesn't respond to criticism with a promise to do better in the future. Oh well.
You should consider holding people to higher standards. "something" is not a job well done, it is essentially just passing the threshold between nothing and anything - something is a job done, not well, not as promised and barely worth mentioning.
I think that was part of the Google Wave vision. Also part of Jef Raskin's vision detailed in The Humane Interface, which so far I've only read summaries of.

I didn't make the direct connection between Google Wave and The Humane Interface until now. I wonder how much of the former was inspired by the latter. The first search brings up this blog post, where the author mentions that he's taking notes in Google Wave but doesn't compare Google Wave to The Humane Interface.

She can't, given how little experience she have with the language.
Hmm...doesn't seem to play well with Safari on iOS...no obvious way to move or resize a sticky.
Exactly - and I was actually in a position where the Virginia Dept of Transportation were doing roadwork and cut the fiber lines at the data center I was hosting at. ServInt did everything they could to remedy the situation and I remained a loyal customer for a long time after that, but the clients I was hosting really didn't care about that and moved away from me - and I respect that and understand that completely.
> There are many kinds of people in the world and this is hardly the most interesting razor to use to divide them up.

I think people who start something and really go all in, they are really worth celebrating.

Infact more than that - they need encouragement and in this piece Dixon lets them know that they should try even though they may be surrounded by smug detractors.
errr. for example?

Pretty sure we didn't used any ourselves. And for the libs, we actually used:
ShareKit/asi-http-request/Admob/regexkitlite/JSONKit

All great open-source projects used by tons of apps.
That's exactly the issue that the previous poster brought up -- with a patent, the "secret sauce" is public. The lessons learned by Google all need to be re-learned again and again, which slows progress for industry as a whole.

In the pharmaceutical case, generic manufacturers are often able to start producing a medicine on the day the patent expires. In the Google/trade secret case, the world may forever lose valuable tools and techniques that are kept proprietary once, but cease being useful to Google.
So to summarize, poor people are incapable of managing their own lives even given sufficient information. They are also incapable of self governing.

I guess the solution to this is some sort of paternalistic dictatorship? Is the purpose of spreading the poor around merely to dilute their vote?
$3k is a pretty nice 1-bedroom... which isn't really necessary if you're just going for survival (e.g. you can get a studio, share a place, etc.).
This looks interesting and beautifully designed, too. The API seems to be very compatible with the one Bitly offers.

I also like how your pricing is slightly in favor of Europeans right now.

[EDIT]

Any plans for offering the ability to style the "create a shortened URL" page so customers can offer public shortening services with their own subdomains?
Going to management is not a promotion for everyone. Some people should just stay engineers. But I'd agree with the company that you can't really promote a remote dev to management.

Lead developer is another story, but, again, having a rapport with the team (or just basic, in-person relationships) is a big part of being a good leader.
