Yes. Language acquisition follows a standard sequence with specific milestones universal to all languages. For example, the period around 6-12 months is critical for phonetic learning. Before 6 months, infants are able to discriminate between phonetic units present in any language, but after 12 months they are better at making distinctions that occur in their native language and worse at making distinctions that don't occur in their environment. For example, Japanese infants are just as good as American infants at distinguishing between r and l at birth, but lose some of this ability between 8-10 months.

Granted, this is true for the more distant cities. But if I'm going to San Francisco or Berkeley (let's be honest, where the hell else would I want to go), the train ride itself is less than 15 minutes.
I am new to React Router. What is the alternative to managing routes on the front end when you're using only React (and redux) on the frontend and not routing on the backend in express or something?
Or you could use the edge of your left palm to hit CTRL. This reduces strain and is much faster.

It's the way I could use Emacs to write my thesis and only wonder about those stories of RSI. On Mac and Linux, I have CTRL-Number set to switch workspaces.
At my employer, it takes 8 dedicated Slack channels, numerous daily, weekly, and monthly meetings, and a dedicated conference room. And continual reminding from the boss - "Call a random team member, and BS for 5 minutes, you have my permission." But my remote coworkers are definitely part of the team.

It does help that the office parts of the team are scattered between 2 offices in widely different time zones - people in the other office may as well be working from home. This is for a 24/7/365 support organization.
If these phone processors are that amazing why don't we see them being used outside phones and tablets? I mean take the A10 Fusion give it four cores instead of two and put it on a server mainboard with all the usual things like PCIe, Gigabit Ethernet and SATA. Basically do what AMD did with their A1100 except with a good processors and actually sell more than a dev kit. The lack of total raw processing power per server could be easily offset by the density and lower price of the ARM server. Why isn't this happening? I don't think lack of software is an explanation for that. Things like AWS Lambda could probably be immediately ported to run on ARM servers.
SpaceX rockets don't have the most "advanced" engines, but they sure are cost-effective. Tesla's done some pretty good things with 18650 cells and cars, and now they're hitting some serious volume. I'm surprised that that cell works for utility-scale deployments, but...
In my experience, once microservice, it's very hard to run the whole system in local environment. It's nearly impossible to overview the system anymore.
That can be solved by not requiring admin privileges to install software and getting rid of the registry, which was an awful idea to begin with.

The idea that we'll want to plug our smartphones into a dock and use them as desktops reflects really poorly on modern operating systems. The driver for this seems to be so that settings and files are always applied and accessible in every context. Sharing data between machines on a local network requires a lot of setup, is easily broken and is never seamless, but I don't think is has to be like that.
Ask HN: Selling IDEs for proprietary platforms?
Hey there, I'm developing for a proprietary platform and have been quite frustrated with the developer tooling that is provided by the platform vendor.

The current state is that you have to use Eclipse with a plugin provided by the vendor. There are some problems with the plugin:

- sometimes it's quite buggy (occasionally you have to wipe the workspace it has crashed in to start up Eclipse again)

- there are some UX problems

- the integration with the platform itself could be improved

My plan is to build an Atom (some of my peers already use it when they can avoid the Eclipse plugin) package that improves on that.

The way I would go about that is to offer the package for free while in development. The users would have to register and will get a time-limited license for free. As soon as the package is mature enough I would start charging. That's similar to the way Cursive (https://cursive-ide.com/) was built.

Before I'll jump into it I have a few questions that some of you maybe could help me with:

- Atom is MIT licensed. That means I can bundle the package with Atom and sell it as a stand-alone app, right?

- what are the concerns regarding the brand of the platforms vendor? Say the vendors name is X, can I call my package "X Integration" or something similar without getting into trouble? Would a simple disclaimer that I'm not associated with X do it?

- what is the best way to reach out to such small niches? There are hardly any development resources for the platform on the internet, so maybe that is an opportunity?

- probably a bit too early to ask, but how would you charge for it. One-off payment for a year of updates (like Cursive) or recurring subscription (like Jetbrain)?

Thank you for any help you can provide.
What do exploding cellphones presage for self-driving cars?
This is one very nice aspect of a grid when there are a lot of electric cars which charge at night, and have big enough batteries that they don't need to fully charge: you can absorb a lot of variability of overnight wind energy.

And if electric cars also plug in at work... jackpot.

Routing stateful apps using string URLs is not a solved problem. Which thick-client app gives you a universally shareable string that restores it to a specific predictable state? How is it even possible? It took a confluence of web technologies, however ill-wrought, to make that possible today.

No one has yet figured out a clean abstraction that solves this - yes it is hard to imagine that we still have new problems that were not solved in the 1960s by the Greats. This is not a computer science-y problem; it falls into the spectrum of craft and art than science. It'll be beautiful when it is framed correctly and an elegant solution comes out. From the looks of it, the authors of this library (along with the rest of the client-side router ecosystems) are the closest.

The FAQ satisfactorily answers why they are trying this approach - React brought the concept of 'mounting' UI elements, and it applies equally well to routing as well.

I do share the pain of having to keep up with a changing API; and it is especially biting when it feels gratuitous (which I think is not at all the case here), but let's chalk it up to the cost of being in the bleeding edge, working in one of the most well-paid professions in the world.

Sure peakers are expensive, but they are profitable, otherwise no-one would build and run them. Supply and demand etc.

I'm not sure what you mean by Tesla cannibalizing the peakers? Do they already own traditional peaker plants?

I agree revenue is revenue, I'm just saying this is perhaps unlikely to provide more revenue from sales outside CA.

This opens "interesting" commercial opportunities for ISPs. "If you (the customer) voluntarily zero rate or fast lane services X and Y you get a discount." And those services pay the ISP more than that to get an advantage over competitors. The money flow is similar to having X and Y pay the ISP not to be throttled down on the ISP network, which is what some ISPs wanted to do.

62-year-old developer here. I was at a small company until it lost funding and went under five years ago. At the age of 57, I was freaking out about finding a new job. Three weeks later, I was hired at my current company. Obviously this is a single data point, an anecdote, etc. However, I have seen the same scenario for several friends my age.

The place I work at needs to find and hire exceptionally talented people (embedded software in life-critical medical devices; sloppy or buggy code, someone could die.) It knows it does not have the allure of big names such as Google. So, it does something like the Oakland A's, and plays Money Ball. It goes for the pudgy, dumpy, overlooked players who always seem to get on base somehow. It knows it has no chance at the golden children, the 27-year-old Stanford PhD's who are perfect in every way. So, it casts a wide net, and looks closely at people who might be overlooked by other organizations.

I managed to luck into finding a great, well-connected recruiter. He was instrumental in helping me get placed quickly. And, as you've heard so many times you will probably scream if you hear it once more, "networking". A friend who already had a job at my new company put in a good word when I was going through the recruiting process.

I heard a great line about mathematicians: "Mathematics is a terrible profession. The only people who should do it are people who can't not do it." There are people out there who feel that way about programming. My daughter teases me that when I retire she knows exactly what I will do: spend more time hacking on open source projects.

The core truth of your inner being at some point overtakes you. If you live and breathe to code, if you still secretly wonder why people actually pay you to play all day with computers, you will be fine as you get older continuing to be a programmer.

One thing about getting older: You begin to realize, "Now is the time." No more resume padding, no more attempts at strategizing to optimize career moves down the road. No more doing things you hate in order to lay the groundwork for that ineffable special something that seems to beckon from just over the horizon.

Older people don't need to be told, "Be honest with yourself, find your passion" etc. Been there, done that. Life will do that to you. Expect that when you are in your 50's or 60's, you will have settled in to what really does work for you. For some, it is software development. For others, it is full-time church work. (My wife.) For others, it is gardening. (A retired former executive I wave to every morning as I'm heading out to work.)

Bottom line: You would not want to work at a place that is too arrogant and stupid to consider older job candidates, or that turns its nose up at anyone who does not fit a preconceived template, or that looks to monetize the naivete of young developers. Their loss. They are doing you a favor by passing you over. Screw them.

Libreboot is not GNU Libreboot anymore
Batteries are now cheaper than peakers everywhere, not just CA. That's what I'm saying.

Tesla's PowerPack installs (battery storage receives federal incentives, nat gas does not) will replace peakers, leaving them as stranded assets (the cannibalization I refer to).

Edit: unepipe: Tesla packs perform the exact same role as a peaker plant: energy on demand.

They are distributed, dispatchable loads and generators, available to draw or release energy from/to the electrical grid as needed, when commanded to do so by a grid operator.

I assume I used "cannibalization" improperly in this context. Mea culpa.

Linguist here. It really isn't. There are plenty of competing and very compelling theories in e.g. big parts of Europe. Especially Functional Grammar and its different branches. The only relation they really have to UG is that they're not it.

At my university no one in the linguistics department actually subscribed to UG or any derivatives thereof but in the English department they did. I've observed sort of the same divide in countries. In English speaking counties UG seems to be the prevailing theory while it's much less so in non-English speaking countries.

Unfortunately people are extremely religious about their preferred theory of grammar, and it's hard to have a useful discussion about it when people are unable to remove themselves from the subject and discuss it objectively.

Cheaper? Not at all. While I agree that the MacBook 12" is the new Air and the better purchase, it's rather expensive and currently the sole purpose of the original MacBook Air is covering the price range around 1000 €. Until the MacBook gets there.
Oh. I didn't even notice. Everyone was busy talking about the headphone jack.
Out of curiosity, why Java is not best language for reading OO? Any reason?
There is one price you pay for more RAM on an SOC and that is higher power consumption, which is probably why.

Considering my iPad Air has only 1gb of RAM an performs acceptably, despite having to render at 2560x1600 - it shows that iOS is surprisingly light on ram usage. 2gb will do well for the phone. iOS is also very quick to relaunch apps and the iPhone has very fast flash memory and fast CPU to do that.

By those numbers the 70 gram tube contains approximately 5-6 grams of caffeine? LD50 level for caffeine is estimated at 200mg/kg of body weight [2], so the tube could kill a 25kg person? I hope that the fresh minty taste isn't too attractive to children, as the lethal dose to a small child looks to be substantially less than one tube.

By comparison, about two (100g?) tubes of fluoridated toothpaste could kill a 10kg (2yr old) child [2], so a child is unlikely to die from scoffing an open tube of toothpaste that they find in the house.

Perhaps you should look at either the caffeine concentration or tube size, to ensure that an incidental poisoning can't occur due to a single open tube.

This is a really logical and thought out response. The evolution with React Router isn't meaningless. It's simply good people trying (and succeeding imo) to innovate and create good, well-formed software.

JavaScript as a language has a lot of churn, and many times unnecessarily, but there is nuance.

After Apple left the server space when they shuttered the Xserve, I don't think they are really interested into getting involved into that space. I think they view themselves as a consumer goods company that makes good products and uses technological innovation to serve those goals, rather then create that innovation and figure out how to productise it later.
OK, I looked up the definition of monolithic application in a couple of places, and the meaning is not quite what I thought it was. I thought it was 'one app does everything for everybody' but it's more like 'one app does everything for somebody', so the horizontal scaling applies, and my previous comment is wrong.

It's a shame that a 'monolith' application doesn't just mean a genuine singleton, though, as that would be the perfect name for it. A bank of load-balanced monoliths should be a polylith.
Are there details about this? I couldn't find anything in the thread.
Webcams record faster than 60 Hz. Sound perturbs the recorded image every scanline, not just every frame. The techniques that reconstruct audio from video do it by looking not frame by frame, but line by line. 60 Hz times 720 vertical resolution is 43200 Hz and way more than enough data.
The only API that works well and give you all the flexibility is the one that the browser exposes. If you stick to something that is close to how the browser behaves, you should be fine.

In the React ecosystem I have seen that people sometimes want to abstract too much with no real pragmatic advantages. The result is that the abstraction become verbose to use and get in the way for coding things that produce a better user experience. Things that used to be simple to build.

Keep it simple. Make it more complex only when it is necessary.

Tesla is not producing peakers, correct?
All fair points, but we still have the problem of giving our users a URL to our rich web app which can take them into a node inside a nested state hierarchy. And not all applications can be purely server-side. You can't for example build a spreadsheet on the web as a series of request-responses.
I'm thinking it's more likely that MacBooks (and probably Macs) are killed off altogether (or merged into iPads). I think we're about 2 iOS iterations away from the iPad being a complete Macbook replacement (and we're there for a vast majority of consumers right now). I'm assuming Xcode for iOS arriving next year, along with loosening the restrictions on running locally-developed code. Then one more year to clean things up. Couple that with a few little hiccups in iOS self-sufficiency (read: System restores, another year for the software ecosystem to fill out), and we're there.
Course it can and I hope it will))

How scheduling one-to-one demos can help your newly launched product
Oh, I disagree. A/C is very power hungry, and can be adjusted to cool the house lower than normal during cheap power times and let it go a bit higher during expensive power times. It can also "pre-cool" when power is cheaper.

The same goes for an electric water heater.

The charger for your Tesla can also adjust when it charges
based on power prices.

The dishwasher/washer/dryer can be set to come on at night when the power rates dip.

Exterior lights can dim if the power rates go up.
