> Just use Tk. Or wx.

Yes, Tk just works for gui and is underappreciated.

wx's default backend is gtk (2 or 3) and they have an experimental Qt5 backend now, which is unsurprising given GTK3's state. So wx doesn't help, unless you can make the Qt backend work (Qt5 is so modular that it's often a pain).
I agree, but K12 math is not very often taught like this. It is mostly taught paint by the numbers.

1) EU

2) ....?

3) Soviet union!

There's a gap somewhere in your logic.

Europe is far more likely to end up a set of Soviet vassal states if it disintegrates, as that big hegemonic power called Russia is still very much a thing.
comment threading is kind of amazing (in mattermost).
The vast majority of executives I have worked closely with don't add significant value. They are paid well in large part because there are not enough of them to matter. The CEO of micdonalds getting a 200% raise is cheaper than a 1% raise to their minimum wage workers.

As a HN member, there is a high probability that you receive a comfortable salary. Please realize that this probably puts you in a position of (some) privilege when you interact with banks.

Uber is much more efficient than taxis regardless.

For one, it uses the spare time and preexisting cars of regular people (which are cheap) and two, it has the algorithms and data to pool more than one person in the same car.

No, something like launchd, but without the XML: https://github.com/mheily/jobd — and that's great.

The goal of systemd was to eliminate the differences between Linux distributions. FreeBSD doesn't have that problem, it's not a standalone kernel, it's developed as a whole base system.

Ironically, this means that systemd is the most BSD-like thing that ever happened to Linux userspace. As in, everything developed together. If only it was better quality and not overcomplicated…

Chrome OS will get close to this once it gets Android app support.

Microsoft supports Office apps for Android as a first-class port.

Chrome OS is "opaque"...there are very few knobs to turn.

This is not a market failure, it's a regulatory failure. The FDA has arbitrarily denied approval to alternative epinephrine delivery mechanisms and in doing so cemented Mylan's pricing monopoly. When the father of Mylan's CEO Heather Bresch is none other than Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV), who had helped along his daughter's career under a string of shady circumstances in the past, is it any wonder that the our market regulstors are being used to deny market competition?

The government created this problem, not the market, and yet people again clamor for more government intervention.
For those that want to get started in assembly language programming, here's a suggestion. Write a simple skeleton in un-optimized C first. Next take a look at the generated code and replace or fill in the missing parts with assembly language.

When programming in assembly language, one starts with a blank slate. Every abstraction you want to construct, say a data structure or even a function call, you build from scratch. By starting with C you eliminate many dead-ends and false starts.

By adopting C's conventions for stack allocation of local variables and how parameters are pushed on the stack and how return values are passed back to callers, you get yourself situated on firm ground rather than floundering around trying to reinvent basic linkage of caller to called functions.
I figure most British publications are skeptical of the Euro given the Brit's lack of adoption.

> Passionately written, this important book will rock the smug, often detached eurozone policymaking elite. [...] Stiglitz deserves credit for breaking a taboo among respectable mainstream economists and finally admitting that the single currency is doomed.

> This is a book, then, that will unnerve millions of British centre-Left progressives – those who backed British EU membership unquestioningly and now complain bitterly about Brexit. Many such voters, after all, view Stiglitz as their favourite economist.

Sometimes the informal tone in British journalism really highlights the writer's (and publication's) bias.
Huh, it seems people's experience varies a lot. I've been using Arch as my primary OS at work and home for something like 4 years now. It's been quite stable and low maintenance. It has broken a 3 or 4 times, but my Windows install that I play games on has broken more times than that.
Yes, I find that to be the case more often than not: boys don't care about the gender of their avatar. Girls do.

Codemancer has variables and conditionals, and uses them for various things. Some of the game is very tactical, so conditionals are used to deal with enemies who have semi-random behaviour. There are also levels that take place "in the dark" (with a limited field of view).

Yes, "code your way to the target" games have become somewhat of a genre. I think the story is one source of differentiation, as is the programming interface -- Codemancer has no numbers greater than 5 (arithmetic is mod 6), to keep the game from getting math-heavy. All the functions are symbolic, so there's no reading required.

In Codemancer user-defined functions are "pages" in your spell book. Players can call other pages, and even the page they're on (this is much later in the game). You can also Cast a page onto an enemy who has been weakened. We've seen that kids are pretty comfortable with the idiom of "Pages."

> even beacons are really just for body recovery though and avoidance is key.

In my day (more than a decade ago) there was much debate about the beacons giving people too much confidence, that they caused more accidents than they saved lives. I always used them, but understood why some disliked their effects. I shutter to think what would happen should someone develop a smartphone app to 'replace' traditional radio beacons.

Imho the real dangers came from speed. Snow machines and helicopters moved people through terrain without them spending the time to know the snow. When you spend most of the day walking up a hill you have a better appreciation for what is happening under your feet.
Yeah, Ubuntu was never like that for me: every 6 months my system would break in a new and exciting way, and I couldn't fix it. But that's just me. FBSD is a bit more like Arch with a nicer installer, IMHO: minimal, text-based, highly configurable, and well-documented.

What is the Matt Dillon case?
Preface: I'm going to use a really loose definition of AI here for a minute, which includes any computer agent that makes decisions a human might make. So, your alarm clock is an AI, the code that rejects your credit application is an AI, but the code that decides how exactly to paint this letter C is not. Now on to my comment:

I think children should learn to think about programs at a young age, because understanding AIs will be equally as important as understanding other humans in the coming century.

We will see more and more interaction with AIs who have powerful capabilities beyond what most humans can do. We will start to see AIs with emotional palettes and developmental trajectories that will allow them to integrate with us socially. But also, the little AIs like the alarm clock and the credit check are already more and more common gating structures in peoples' lives.

As long as the majority doesn't think about programs too much, you can ignore them too. But as more and more people program, like reading it will become more and more of a disability not to. Being able to think "natively" in software is going to be important. Not mandatory, but important.

Why isn't that employment AI you met finding any construction jobs for you? Does the physician AI really understand the probability that your Dad is NOT, zero probability, going to cut back his saturated fat? Your gardening AI (which is crossed with several other AIs that help you manage your household) says to plant corn, but your neighbors haven't yet, does it know something they don't?

If you can read code, those are questions you can ask.

There is absolutely no gap in my logic. Tyrannies are often born from virtuous ideas and well intended people. The problem with concentration of power is that the people holding that power only care about insuring their own survival, not the good of the people they govern.

This is already true at the national level and even more true at the supra-national level in EU. I don't want to give more power to corrupt bureaucrates that are completely disconnected from national concerns.

I've got a question about price caps, would appreciate a non-trolly/non-sarcastic answer if anyone is informed on the topic.

We know that epi-pens cost under $50 to make, because they're sold profitably in Canada for around $60.

And I recognize that companies are entitled to make a profit, and that drug companies (sometimes) use those profits on R&D for new and better products.

But we see instances of clear cash grabs. Sometimes they're due to circumstances (in this case, a generic alternative failed FDA approval, and a competitor left the market); other times a drug company will buy up competitors and consolidate the market (Turing Pharm).

Why don't we have some sort of market cap of 3-4x or even 10x the cost of manufacturing a drug that is implemented after the R&D has been paid off? I get that companies would bend over backward to inflate that R&D figure, but sooner or later they would have to admit that it was paid for and need to settle into a mode of merely making reasonable profits instead of insane profits.
Also highly, highly recommend buying the book; this is one of those cases (unlike, for me, linear algebra) where you can soak up a pretty good fraction of the whole topic just by plowing through the text, and this particular text is pretty great.
I used to play a lot with Lego when I was young, and programming is not much different from that.

Given a simple manual and a set of basic pieces you learn on your own the basics, and then move to higher order constructions by experimentation. I bet you can just give a child a basic black and white terminal and a "refined documentation", and they'll be okay just as much. Just remove everything unnecessary and sandbox the whole thing (you should expect the kids to break it to install games at some point, but that's okay).
I had to deal even with the manual xorg in the past, because wacom tablet didn't work properly and was pretty much useless in the "default" mode, with wrong button bindings and wrong things enabled, that interfered with each other. But xorg is too hard and too fragile, so I eventually found a way to at least make it not interfere and gave up. Accepted the "default" mode, putting only couple of "xinput set-prop ..." lines into .xsessionrc.

It's always been a constant battle with ubuntu for me. I lost that battle, automated configuration to satisfy ubuntu and don't bother anymore, mostly by avoiding ubuntu ways as much as possible.
I think the other commenter meant "how long to transcribe it?", if you did it manually.

(Thanks for the transcription!)
Yeah, that's been my experience as well. I tried ubuntu first, and that broke every 6 months. Finally, a kernel upgrade rendered my system unusable, and I switched to Fedora once it was fixed. Fedora didn't break as much, but it still broke. Finally, I switched to Arch. I've been able to fix any breakage, and my system's been fine ever since.
If you bought a computer with an os preinstalled, of course everything works on first boot. I haven't seen a lot of computers for sale with FreeBSD preinstalled though.
It gets really hairy when you have to weave in asynchronous actions and things like react-thunk or react-saga. By the time you've wrapped your head around those concepts as well the whole React stack doesn't feel quite as much like the breath of fresh air it does when you first start using it.

For my next Resct project I intend to go as far as I can with simple container components before I start pulling in the whole Redux toolkit.
So... anyone tried fuzzing it yet?
> I think a prison sentence on someone's record will make them more likely to repeat the crime. With the criminal record, minimum wage, or close to, are the only options available.

What difference then does it make it if is 30 days or 3 years?
In other words, how is 30 days an improvement to the problem of deterence (though it is an improvement to the taxpayer)?

> Also, it's human nature to believe you won't get caught. If someone thought they were likely to get caught, they wouldn't do it.

Not necessarily, some people who know that with high probability they will get caught still perform crimes; drug addiction can be quite powerful.
At a first glance, I would think that substance abuse treatment/improvement in mental health facilities can help here.

> Thirdly, what makes you think a 3 year sentence would deter someone from doing it any more than a 30 day sentence would? I'm sure the person didn't even realize stealing a bicycle carried a 3 year sentence. For deterrence to work, a person must know the punishment for the crime. Also, the 3 year sentence doesn't fit the crime. At some point, it becomes cruel and unusual.

I agree here; this is part of the reason why I don't think long sentences are a good solution. But in my view, your proposed solution does not do much either to the problem of deterrence.

> I think locking a person up for 3 years for stealing an unlocked bicycle that the police planted trying to bait someone into stealing it is cruel and certainly unusual.
It's also pretty darn close to entrapment.

What if the police simply want to install a tracker, in order to investigate the possibility that the theft is being performed by an organized ring which regularly steals bikes, in which case a 3 year sentence could fit the crime? Standard bikes do not come with trackers; this will require active intervention.

See http://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/Thief-Makes-Quick-Wo... - here the "entrapment" was done by civilians. Sting operations by civilians are certainly useful in many parts of the world, e.g to expose bribery.
I fail to see why there should be a blanket "no to entrapment" in the case of police, but continue to allow it for civilians.
Personally, I believe entrapment by both civilians and police forces has its uses at times.

> Finally, we have a deterrence paradox. If the US houses the largest prison population in the world, why are there people still stealing bicycles? On the other hand, if crime is at an all time low, why are we still locking people up at an increasing rate every year?

I don't have an answer to this. On the other hand, in my view your proposals do not either.
>(1) Britain's Prime Minister is the elected MP for the Maidenhead constituency in Berkshire.

Programming and math could be learned together. Granted, math is not the only point of programming, but computation is actually how a lot of math is done. Also, within the confines of math, a program that does something useful (i.e., interesting) doesn't have to be a full-blown app with a GUI, so the programs can start out being much simpler. If the kids didn't become programmers, but came out more likely to use math in their lives, I'd still count it as a success.

Well yes it will work after booting, but you usually want your computer to do a bit more than boot.

No machine works perfectly after booting, as the machine is just an instrument to do some WORK. It is the nature of the work that means I have to change the instrument from time to time. FreeBSD, being an open system with a detailed manual allows me to change the machine easily and in a determined manner.

I still haven't figured out how to change many fundamental things on Windows, as it is designed to keep these options hidden from the user.

There are trade-offs for each system. For users who want the power of doing the things how they want to [within limits], FreeBSD is great. If you just want to play Counter-Strike after installing it, well, you can buy another machine for doing that.
