who pays for their own education?

usually it's some combination of parents and government backed loans or grants

even when people pay for their own education in the form of future loans, they're doing so with highly imperfect information about what it will mean to pay them back

(which I don't think is necessarily an argument against studying philosophy, learning to think rigorously can be highly practical)

Every generation complains that the children of today can't entertain themselves are anti-social, etc.

When I was a kid (in my 30s now) I remember people saying it about me reading/watching tv/playing videogames.

Now it is smartphones/computers/internet.

When my mum was a kid apparently it was listening to records.

I am sure if you go back 1000 years you will find some record of an "old" person complaining about how the young ones have no respect for their elders and can't keep themselves entertained.
I think that's the direction things are heading. If you look at the compositor API's they are trying to make the whole XAML layer easier to interop with DX because DX is where the perf and flexibility are.

Because Scott Walker Asked
To analyze and understand Apple's move (and it's not just Apple, they are probably the one people complain the most about because they tend to have a far smaller product range being used by a higher number of people), one must think 5-10 years ahead.

By getting rid of all these different ports, they are making their product simpler, while still capable of interacting with devices that use them (via dongles). This means they have to build less into them making them also lighter, more portable and requiring a standard way to connect other devices.

Dongles are a pain. Yes they are. But also one can argue that in a lot of situations, maybe the majority, if you are in need to use external devices, you're probably in a situation where your laptop is on the top of a desk, in which case maybe even using some kind of a HUB makes more sense (this applies both for home, office and meeting rooms).

So why aren’t they doing this in 5-10 years time? Well, because by doing this (Apple and others), they’ll speed things up. They’ll create more need for devices compatible with USB-C, which means companies will start making peripherals for that market.

However, think by now we’ve all understood that Apple is aiming for a wireless future. The last compact camera I bought mid-2015 already had Wi-Fi. Headphones are moving wireless (hopefully in a safe way, since there is a reasonable concern about the health effects). Wireless peripherals already exist. The reason why they still have USB-C is probably mostly because of charging, with the nice side effect of keeping other devices able to connect via a simple dongle (rather than a wireless HUB).

I’m also not a fan of wireless keyboards and mice. Mostly because of the hassle of managing batteries/running out of juice and not finding other batteries. A good move from Apple would be to solve that problem: wireless charging becoming the norm instead of an expensive add-on, with longer lasting batteries, with the dream being on-the-fly wireless power feeding.

tl;dr - Apple wants to make things simpler, lighter, more portable and they are not afraid of putting the weight of their whole range of products behind it and taking the plunge. There will be some pain. We’ll hopefully end up with a better experience after the transition period.

Thanks for putting words in my mouth. How many people would have used jQuery, if it was GPL? Full-on GPL taints your software, such that you have to be extremely careful not to use any libraries that are GPL'd if you want to release it under any other sort of license. Sure, you can get exemptions, but can you imagine the clusterfuck if, say, the NPM community defaulted to using GPL? Trying to trace back and make arrangements with the owners of thousands of tiny libraries would be insane.
It is, sounds like he was trying to port-forward for IPv4, but can't as his ISP uses a CGN or 464XLAT or something to provide IPv4 access - so port forwarding isn't an option.

All that needs to be done is add the appropriate firewall rules (probably on the router and computer) to allow traffic for that port and it'll be accessible from the outside over IPv6.

New Laws Haven’t Made Big Banks Safer, Paper by Lawrence Summers Says
http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/rigid-designators/

A rigid designator designates the same object in all possible worlds. Translation to software terms: a safe pointer/reference refers to the same object in all possible process lifetimes. Consider Python: everything is an object, including integers. If you look into the C implementation of CPython you'll see that the runtime creates certain commonly used object up front, rather than on demand as is the case for most objects. IIRC integers 0 to 10 are created upfront. So if we exec 'i = 0' in Python and don't change i then i refers to the same object every time we execute. It's a rigid designator!

But there was no problem in inserting graphics and, with offset printing, photos into the page decades before charts became common.

Here's a page from 1933: http://imgur.com/Mkzihb6

But, before computers, the charts had to prepared by hand.

Also (unrelated to charts) the movable type was replaced with "hot type" starting in 1886. Newspapers typesetters used a keyboard and the typesetting machine automatically assembled the type molds and poured molten lead into them, producing a slug for each line of type (hence Linotype).

This made sense until I got to the part that said it was forbidden to communicate with others according to the rules of the experiment. This, to me, makes the experiment less convincing and the outcome less of a surprise.

A lot of online activities, no matter how brainless, are social. It doesn't seem fair to say "kids can't live without their mobile phones" when it's really about them not being able to communicate. I'm pretty certain the results would be less drastic if they could have just hung out and played boardgames.

I don't know about the study but when I cut out the Internet my kids become productive real fast - one cleans up her room other will look out the window and find the lawn needs mowing and will happily mow and sometimes even edge. Some times they come and talk to me.

I then give them Internet back - so far it's a good positive feedback loop for them. I guess it won't work with all kids - mine like doing other things but are just too distracted when there's Internet.

I get taking away Internet to see what would happen, but why would you remove all social contact altogether? And why remove the telephone? We've had access to the telephone for decades.

Plus I'm pretty sure you could find some variant of "damn kids, rap music" engraved on the wall of a cave in mesopotamia. It's somehow ingrained in our genetic structure to think our children are idiots (which I suppose is a little beneficial).

The Reinheitsgebot sounds like a good reason for brewers to be lawyerly about what counts as an "ingredient". So traditionally they used it but claimed it wasn't an ingredient, and then when mechanical filtration improved, they decided that was a safer course.
if a 40+ developer (who ships product and gets things done rather than a "coder" as you refer to them), works for less than market rate, there is a reason, and usually not a good one. This is not something to base a company on.
Most of us are working at well above market rates, not in Silicon Vally (there is serious software in the energy, medical, financial, etc... field being written elsewhere) and are not in the job market.
This did strike a chord. I'm 37. I've been programming since leaving university. I had a stint of about 6 years in the middle of my career where I stagnated. While it was fun (I did a lot of climbing, biking, caving etc.), it was hard getting out of that hole, and I'm glad to be out.

Anyway, I'm now travelling for a year (my partner made me quit my job ;) which has been lots of fun. I've caught up on a lot of books, playing with elixir, sharpening tools. But, I'm wondering what to do when I go back home, and finding it hard to decide. I already have an offer, and I'm not particularly worried about having work, but more about having the _right_ work. I'm not sure how many more options to change I'll have. Coupled to that, I'd like to work on projects which I feel are doing something useful for society.

Options:

1. Work remotely for a company I've worked for before. Should be decent cash. Codebase is horrible legacy stuff (but improving). Just me and another (more junior) developer.
2. Work for a pretty professional company in town. Excellent excellent team, I'd learn heaps, but it'd be just straight business work (not ticking the "useful to society" box.

I have a couple of options in both of those categories (I think ;). I've been stung before being a solo developer and I'm not that excited about being the most senior on the team. I'm an OK developer, but I know there are lots smarter, and I like learning from others.

So decisions decisions. It feels to me the older I get the fewer of these types of decisions I want to mess up.
If you use Ember.js, which is the most matured and serious on the market, you never had that feeling that JS changes a lot. Consistent and continuous improvement. The best choice.
I question your premise. Are you and I actually communicating right now in an emotionally meaningful, fulfilling way?

Am I less alone now for having this exchange of posts on HN with you than I would be had I spent this time reading from a book, which is of course also a communication, if only in one direction?

My instinct tells me that neither of these states involve meaningful (which I'm defining here as personal) human interaction, but I'll freely admit that's more a gut feeling than a scientific truth.

You make a great point, but it's the charging that annoys me. I have Bluetooth headphones for the gym. They run out probably once a week and I have to exercise without music. The gym I can take. But in the office, I have headphones on for maybe 7 or 8 hours a day.

I guess what I'm saying - the wireless future is great, but we're not their with batteries. I still only get a day from my phone. My first phone lasted all week.
Right. People should be less concerned with competing with people in their 20s and more concerned with how they are going to keep up with the other people their age who instead of doing fun, hacker, startup stuff and chasing money spent their time being the "stupidest" person in the room and learning the (an) industry.

"It was forbidden to communicate with others according to the rules of the experiment"
So no imaginary friends either ;)

In all seriousness, I wouldn't be surprised if the outcomes had little to do with removal of technology, but were rather due to the removal of the ability to communicate with _anyone_.
I've only done homebrew and never used isinglass....

But when I used gelatin it set the yeast sediment into a jelly-like layer at the bottom of the fermentation vessel, so when I bottled I'm not sure there was really any in the finished product. The same may apply here.

I think the point of all of them is to encourage sedimentation, and thus they shouldn't be significantly present in the finished product
We switched to Advanced Installer when that happened.

Now I notice that probably 50% of the MSIs that I run are using the AdvancedInstaller dialog skins.
For a long time, in the UK at least, clarity just is more visually appealing. In the past the role of the cellarman was much more hands-on; there was a time where beer was unfined leaving the brewery and fined on delivery once casks were put in place. Much of this art is disappearing, but it has been a while that the beer has been designed to be clear. With that, the bottom of casks are murky with yeast (since filtering is uncommon) and isinglass - which may make you ill (it tastes bad too) so cloudy beer has been associated with off beer or the end-of-cask.

I've tried serving a cask wheat beer which was rejected purely by appearance in the past.

Mind you, things have been changing rapidly in 5/6 years and many breweries make their tasty products without isinglass (or vegan-friendly alternatives+). Some choose to be fairly close to pin bright and others less so - depends on many things like more flocculant house yeast, etc.

I can say that around 5 years ago, a brewery made the decision to switch to being unfined for flavour - and their products were cloudy then onwards. It was difficult to 'sell' then, but now it's a commonplace. And yes, a pub did an informal experiement: flavours were altered with the addition of isinglass but from a general public opinion was divided in which they preferred (almost 50/50)

+ not necessarily equivalent. Some products are introduced during the brewing process, not after

I don't think you know anything about the cause and effect relationship considering you have no idea who I am let alone what is wrong with me knee.

I haven't been running like that since I was in college. I wore down cartilage in my knee while running through pain I had been having for a while. I wasn't taking care of myself the way I should have been. If you take the time and care to make sure you stay healthy, 20-30 miles a week is nothing. If your logic held than 'pay back time' should have happened for my peers a long time ago, they all ran more mileage than I did and some still run 100 plus miles per week. If there is some magic number of miles knees get, they would have hit it a long time ago. That is not how it works. People are different, bodies are different, you just need to make sure you take care of yourself and don't ignore the maintenance.
It says more about the person who says it that they think that will cheer you up, though if you actually reacted like that it would say more about you.
