I've only had limited experience of Rebol View (VID & R3-GUI) so I don't feel qualified enough to give you a clear answer.

However I can provide you with some HN comments that contain Rebol GUI code that I've posted here in the past:

NB. If you follow the thread up in the first link you'll find GUI comparisons with TCL & other languages.

You may find more insight into the authors mind from snippets found in previous posts:

http://prog21.dadgum.com/159.html - "The best attempt I've seen is the UI description sub-language of REBOL. Creating a basic window with labeled buttons is a one-liner. Clearly all wasn't perfect in REBOL-ville, as a burst of excitement in the late 1990s was tempered with a long period of inactivity, and some features of the language never quite lived up to their initial promises.

These days HTML is the most reasonable approach to anything involving fonts and images and interaction. It's not as beautifully direct as REBOL, and being trapped in a browser is somewhere between limiting and annoying, but the visual toolkit is there, and it's ubiquitous. (For the record, I would have solved the "list all the filenames..." problem by generating HTML, but firing up a browser to display the result is a heavy-handed solution.)"

http://prog21.dadgum.com/66.html - "A handful of language designers have tried to make GUI programming as easy as traditional programming. The Tk library for TCL, which is still the foundation for Python's out-of-the-box IDE, allows basic UI creation with simple, declarative statements. REBOL is a more recent incarnation of the same idea, that sample code involving windows and user input and graphics should be a handful of lines, not multiple pages of wxWindows fussing. I wish more people were working on such things."

The problem is that the people making the decision on what to tax don't always have agendas that are altruistic. Elected officials can't be trusted to decide what's 'right' for me to consume or not to consume. Remember, these are the same elected officials that marijuana illegal yet make being fat a 'disability.'

The government has no business telling me what to eat. If it costs 'society' more, then charge people for the actual cost at the time the cost is incurred. Sugar isn't 'bad' any more than alcohol is 'bad.' However if you drink so much that it causes liver failure, then charge people for the liver failure.. Don't spread that cost among the responsible people who don't drink to excess. Higher insurance rates for gay people and alcoholics -- absolutely. Higher prices for alcohol to effectively punish everyone for the irresponsible actions of the few.. Completely anti-freedom.

I dunno. There are two kinds of such books - those published before the ascension to power and those published afterwards (the Little Red Book is one example of the latter.) Only books of the first kind might have contributed to the author's rise to power, but it's hard to tell how much, and at least intuitively it doesn't seem like any of the leaders you mentioned rose to power mainly due to their writing ability.

I think it's interesting to read the writings of an influential person, and sometimes it is mandatory to read them even if it's not that interesting, but I doubt that these people mainly become influential through their writing (at least the effect seems much smaller than the reverse - books becoming widely read because of the author's influence on world events.) It certainly works in both directions, I just think one is much stronger than the other.

The pen and the sword... well, persuasion is mightier than an individual's brute force because you can mobilize the force of others through persuasion. But is "pen" the right metaphor for persuasion in a world where both dictators and democratically elected leaders rely on the support of huge groups of people, many of whom rarely read, have poor reading comprehension (don't we all? especially when reading what we disagree with?), and are most easily swayed by simple ideas boiling down to "the source of your troubles whom you should rob to improve your life is X"? If the world is run a by a literate few born into a powerful minority, then perhaps a pen might be more powerful.

As to religious texts... I think they're kinda different in that say Lenin's writing could rival the popularity of religious texts for a while, at a time when printing was very cheap, but it no longer can. Contrast that to religious texts which remained popular for hundreds and thousands of years at a time when reproducing texts was very expensive. And there was never a lack of either tyrants or statesmen with popular support during those years, moreover, quite a few of those tyrants were worshiped as gods, and both tyrants and elected politicians wrote texts. None of these texts are remotely as widely read as religious texts.

So whatever the cause, the handful of popular prophets are vastly more popular than any of history's politicians, and are way better at maintaining their influence from their graves.
This is precisely why every time someone pitches a business idea to me using a story I flag it as one that requires addition validation of facts. Not because I think all story tellers are charlatans (some definitely are)but because I want to make sure that I compensate for the activation of the non-rational parts of my brain.
By the time Google was available Altavista wasn't a good search engine.

I was intimately familiar with using it - indeed, I started using it when it was good, as http://www.altavista.digital.com (in those days we had to type both the http:// and the www).

The search itself was ok in the sense that it indexed things correctly. However, the ranking was very naively implemented and used basic TF-IDF style ranking of pages that matched the query, with strong bias towards the META tags (remember them?).

That meant that meta-tag stuffing was a thing, and very simple keyword stuffed pages ranked very highly.

Some packaging may be designed in this manner, but that's bad (or simply lazy) design. Packaging can, and should, serve the interests of the manufacturer, retailer, and consumer equally well.
Indeed. You should keep the complexity to a reasonable level, lines of code tends to correspond to it so it makes sense to keep the number of lines of code per function low.

The author doesn't understand the relationship, he blindly follows the advice to keep the number of lines low without considering the complexity and that leads to unnecessarily complex code.

If you want for everybody to fix things, everybody should know things, share the vision.

If management is planning to do things quickly and badly, the dev lead should know that and plan accordingly, trying to do it in the best possible way.

If he's kept in the dark, of course he might blunder. But that's not his fault, assuming a company that encourages initiative and fix it yourself attitudes.

Best leadership leads by empowering people, not by enslaving them.

Lets Encrypt only generates certs with a 90 day expiry, so if longer than that is a requirement for you then you need to look elsewhere.

You won’t be able to use the automated letsencrypt scripts to generate a cert either - you’ll have to use something like acme-tiny (it’s on github) and edit it to upload the proof-of-site-ownership challenge files to the appropriate place on your shared hosting (unless the letsencrypt script already lets you do this? Worth a quick look.)
Outdoor grown pot (for me) is way better than greenhouse or indoor grown pot. Same for tomatoes - if you have the chance, grow your own. Outdoor tomatoes are way way tastier than the mass produced industrial crap.

Quite a lot of the web has also been converted into streams, thanks to infinite scrolling web pages.

Given fMRI's nature as a secondary measurement of brain activity, I'd have expected this kind of research to focus on EEG, which, as a direct measurement of brain electrical activity, should have much lower latency. I'd think that latency would be pretty crucial for neurofeedback.
You have this backwards. QNX is a real-time operating system, and is optimized for response time vs Linux, which is a general purpose operating system typically optimized for throughput, although some work has been done on modifications to allow for real-time OS like scheduling.
In resume, the novel of a woman well known as author of books for children was rejected, when send later more polished versions of the novel under a unknown male name without traceable past the editors show finally interest.

A conclusion could be: "maybe the first version was plain bad", or "maybe I'm typecast as writer", or even "Editors are intrigued by a new fresh face"; but instead is a loud: "Editors (women and men) do not want novels writen by women; but, girl, you can create an atractive male persona, and when you have their interest, brag on internet under your real name about how clever you were and how stupid and mysoginist are those editors, unable to recognise feminine talent".

Not a very smart move, probably.

Yep, surely editors run away when see in the title "written by Joanna Rowling" or "Patricia Highsmith". This later is in fact a nom de plume so... maybe the problem could be in the name, not in the gender.

I think that this is a valuable history for HN. An interesting case of a writer trying hard to be free of the typecast jail and then succesfully boycotting herself in the last second.
> I do know one family who adopted a 17 year old who had been in foster care for 6 years and wanted a permanent family to come home to from college.

It's interesting how people can have totally different needs and dreams depending on their upbringing / life history. 17-20 is about the age when people I know (myself included) try to separate themselves from their families, to assert themselves as individuals and protagonists of their life stories. The last thing I cared about at that age was "a permanent family to come home to from college".
> As a researcher in a STEM field (at US university) for only ~7 years I have often posited that many of the ideas which appeal to administrators result in a degraded academic experience for students. In turn, this can negatively impact research efforts.

Just wondering if you can give some examples. I work at a Liberal Arts University.
The discussion is more fairly framed as: Do you use abstraction (hide details) in your code base? Number of lines of code is, perhaps, a symptom of code that doesn't use abstraction well, but isn't proof. We need to see the the code base, understand its design goals, and how it's actually used before we can pass judgement.
Good question. I've had the same question from my two brothers. One of them couldn't learn the language using the above approach, the other forced himself to do it with great results. And by that, I mean no subtitles, no dictionary (or at least very rarely).

So how to get from 0 to 24?. I'm really no scientist, but I think of it as the same way a baby would learn a language. you get yourself in an environment where you try to submerge yourself into the language. The "mum" here should be something you really love, for example a TV show or a movie or a radio show. The other ingredient would be to get the basics of the new language first in term of grammar and words. I would say a few hundred words that are important would suffice at the beginning.
The trick is not to learn word by word, but rather sentences (I think of them as the algorithm of each language). Subtitles for me at least seem to hinder the brain of connecting speech, facial expressions, feelings, images etc and blending everything in a perfect place for the brain to remember.
An example: In German "Gift" means poison in English. However, As a native English speaker your brain is wired to think of it as something positive, because all of the memories you had when you received a gift. So instead of translating it, remember it in the original language with original memories/images/sentences.

Try also to read a lot of pop culture magazines. This is really important because it helps you understand slang, inside jokes..etc. An example:
Would you be able to understand a joke about Bill Cosby/ Justin Bieber if you didn't read those pop culture magazine?

Finally, your speaking need practicing by talking to native speaker and going to meetups/get tog ether's to practice.

Once you get the above, just have a little faith that it will click. Keep watching/listening and you will at the end understand what the "mum" is saying :).

Edit: This method is based on Images and Emotions which scientifically have a bigger impact on us than just words.
Can't find a link to an actual study though.

Hope this helps.

Wow, so this is what it's like to be misrepresented. Firstly, there is no "microkernel hatred" on my part, just hatred of pop-opinions of them being a 100% superior technology for all cases.

And my second comment follows this theme as it was pointing out a contradiction in the poster's argument of microkernels simply being superior. I fully understand the rationale behind running Linux in a microkernel, but it isn't something that reinforces the argument that monolithic kernels are "just inferior".

In short, I'd be a lot more impressed if this dude spent the effort he used scouring the internet for quotes building something where he could just show us the code of a microkernel outperforming a monolithic kernel. Enough of the dogma.

I agree that mass-produced tomatoes seem to have been bred to also have no flavor. I'm not going to blame this on greenhouses though - there's a local family farm that produces tomatoes that are just as tasty as those from my garden but are available for an extra 3-4 months of the year.

Indoor farming is not good for wheat or corn, or really anything where the majority of the plant isn't fragile and/or valuable. Even if we had a mini-wheat without a stem it would be hard to compete with the outdoors. But it's great for leafy vegetables.
Some packaging is theft-resistant, but can be 'unlocked' by the retailer at POS. I'm thinking, in particular, of razor blades in the UK. Is that the best compromise?

So the example of a function that's too long, because functions should be 10 or fewer lines, is a function that has exactly 10 lines with code on them.
Fair enough. I always found horizontal scrolling more difficult than vertical though.

But, for instance, the Python PEP8 spec saying 80 characters max, I think is kind of ridiculous these days. Who is programming on their phone, tablet, or 90s computer that can't handle 120 characters these days?

Edit: I just mention 120 as PyCharm's PEP8 linter 'erroneously' checks that max rather than 80
We do understand it. It's just most poeple are other constraints and goals. If your goal is to make the most money, and you have a space or legal constraint, then lowering the quality is not your problem.
A little background. I work as a dev/mgr at a Liberal Arts university and my oldest graduated from the same one in 2015. I graduated from an Engineering school with a Chemistry BS and Environmental Systems Engineering MS.

We were discussing the criticisms of late about STEM schools don't teach you critical thinking and Liberal Arts does. From our limited and admittedly biased standpoint is that there is an arrogance about how good liberals arts is relative to STEM that is unwarranted. Her experience is that she was not encouraged to think but to parrot back the biased opinions of her faculty. Failure to conform your thinking to their ideas was met with public criticism in the classroom and a lower grade.

If you're perfectly happy, you're probably not going to leave to get a 10% raise.

If someone comes along and offers you 50% more than you're currently making, doesn't that implicitly mean you're not being properly compensated at your current job?

I guess that's the "shields down" moment, when you realize that you'll become chronically underpaid if you stick around.

I really like this idea, but bezier curves are quite computationally difficult to use. There are many representations of these kind of continuous shapes which are much easier for this kind of processing.

For example I would try converting the bezier representation into an implicit HRBF representation (here is a good explaination in 3D http://rodolphe-vaillant.fr/?e=12). This representation should be much easier to process on the GPU - checking how much the point is inside/outside the glyph should only be one matrix multiplication which would make the computation in the actual shader really really fast.
> Keep in mind that Trails is not a fork, but a Sails-compatible re-write. So there's no upstream code-level reconciliation that can happen, but I'm sure both projects can coexist and compete in the framework market on their merits.

The same could have been said of Rails and Merb back in the day, but they eventually combined efforts, and rolled the concepts that people liked from Merb back into Rails. It wasn't a case of just copying the code over, but it still allowed proving the ideas in the real world.
I used to stick religiously to <=15, in C#. This was detrimental to understanding only twice, and a fairly small issue even then. Not a ridiculous standard for interns who don't have an excellent refactor-sense yet, so I didn't begrudge it back then.
I'm really suspicious when americans are stating some vegetable/fruit is "tasty". Everytime I go to the US, what strikes me is the very low quality of the food products. Even in France, what I consider a shitty tomato taste better than the regular ones in the US I tried.

It's not a misplaced patriotism, it's just that I fear a lot of americans really don't know what food is supposed to taste like anymore. Which is very scary.

The same thing is happening here in Europe, but at a much slower rate. Not sure if it's reassuring though.
This article seems to confuse clarity brought by folding code with versatility brought function reuse.
> Has anyone seen production code with <=10 lines of code per function before?

It depends on the language. In Node.js code, it's not uncommon to not only see production code that follows this rule, but also puts no more than 1 or 2 functions in each file. Once you get used to it, and as long as you're quick with your editor/IDE's open shortcuts, I've found it a pretty nice way to organize code.

I personally find C code hard to follow sometimes, not because I don't understand C (I have more experience with C than I do JavaScript, if you count years), but because C tends to feature multiple functions per file, each with hundreds of lines of code per function. At least for me, that's hard to follow, and I hate having to move hundreds of lines up and down a file, even using Vim shortcuts.
