> Regarding a 100% reduction in terrorism

It was meant to represent the impossible goal of 100% success, not that I actually meant it was achievable. I don't think we can substantially reduce terrorism below current levels.

There is always going to be some group of people who are angry and violent as long as humanity hasn't achieved the Singularity imo.
It might depend on the ebook reader you're using. I'm using Marvin for iOS and while there's a bit of loading, it's pretty quick.

Speaking of Marvin, it's by far my favorite ebook reader. One thing I rather like, specifically in relation to IJ, is that Marvin has a journal function that automatically tracks all the words you've looked up and the stuff you've highlighted or commented on.
Enforcing Segregation of Duty with Docker UCP and DTR
There should a high school class on numeracy, followed by statistics.

Wrote learning of algebra does not necessarily lead to numeracy.

Sweating over the students that are (mostly) ready for calculus and college is missing the forest.
Chiming in, a browser extension seems like the perfect place for this kind of thing. I would almost definitely make use of it.
I think it basically comes down to the type of person. Some require essentially supervision to learn. They need someone to tell them what to do, when to do it, and how to do it. These are the people who take advantage of traditional schooling, and sitting in classes.

I think I fall in the other end of the spectrum, where I'm bored in a classroom sitting, and I'd rather people be at home hacking away learning myself. Trial and error experience works far better than someone telling me to do something. My progression basically comes from projects. I work on a side project that develops a few certain skills, then I choose another project I've been interested in, that builds on the previous project, but introduces new topics to learn. So on and so forth.

In my opinion a lot of these bootcamps are just filled with people who thought programming would be a good career change to make more money. I saw this years ago in my freshmen CS classes. Bunch of people who thought they'd just take the classes because that was what making money, or OOOO computers! Inevitably failed out. While those who learn on their own are the ones who are actually interested in programming, and have been doing so way before bootcamps existed.
Please share this solid evidence, we've all been looking for it but can't seem to find it anywhere.
There's a difference between not boring your user after he decided to read your piece, and tricking your user into reading your piece.
I'm not so sure. Generally implementing an iterator when the iteration doesn't represent a straightforward walk over the elements of a collection is much more error-prone. The implementation of the lambda version looks exactly the same as if you were just performing the iteration locally, while the iterator version requires saving and restoring a bunch of state and handling more edge cases. At call sites, the iterator version looks a little better, but not so much so that I'd consider the additional implementation complexity (and hence potential for bugs) worth it. That said, this is definitely a controversial opinion and there are arguments in the other direction as well.

Are you talking about the table under "Yearly Murder Trend"? Of course the 1989 entry is the highest; it's the longest period. The only other period on that table of comparable length is 1955 - 1976, with about 3700 less homicides but also a much smaller city.

The line chart above the table clearly backs up the statement you were replying to. From 1968 through 2001 Chicago never had a year with less than 600 homicides. Yes, this year has seen a sharp uptick for some reason. It is still the first time in 15 years Chicago has broken that 600 threshold. This year notwithstanding Chicago has been significantly safer this millennium than it was when most of the people on this site were kids.

I've also written my own "version" of function but intentionally lightweight, for an embedded project: https://github.com/ambrop72/aprinter/blob/master/aprinter/ba...

Callback<void(int, int)> f = APRINTER_CB_OBJFUNC(&ThisClass::function, this);

One magic thing is that the macro is just a value, it figures out the type itself.

There's zero memory allocation. The Callback class just contains a function pointer and a void pointer. So you can't bind argument values other than the object pointer, but I have no need for that.
As I replied elsewhere in this thread - Bogdan is being requested by Apple to claim Apple was Correct in Banning him.

Apple found a Niece of Bogdan's for whom he bought an Apple Dev account & shared test devices, had fraud on their app review.

But Apple did not notify him they had "linked his account" to hers - and he got mysteriously banned.

I think Apple is making things worse, in this situation.
There isn't a turning point, this has always been true.

How do you know? Maybe Trump has a modicum of security on whatever systems uses.
Thanks for the wonderful advice !

Another question.

Have you tried Dvorak ? I have been thinking of buying the sicker and changing my keyboard to dvorak.

I have also read that keys with mechanical switch are better. But unfortunately the sculpt does not have it :( Is there a keyboard that combines mechanical switches with sculpt like design ?

Ignorance is bliss though, blame lobbying.

Because disagreements must be rooted in ignorance (sarcasm).

Yes unfortunately. We run a property rental advertising service and are always battling fraud. We have had to implement tons of security features to try and catch things before they come through.

Fraud is not an issue at all for our business SaaS products.

Yes.

We try to be smart about things. For example, if you use Subscriptions, we assume that subsequent charges of a happily paying customer are also very likely to be good and so we do not block them.

Most users won't need to tweak the default behavior, but it is flexible in both directions. You can use the same rule builder interface to whitelist a transaction vis-a-vis Stripe, using boolean logic on a variety of things Stripe knows about the charge. Whether this will work for what you want to do depends a bit on the specifics of it -- we'd be happy to advise.

A subtlety: Due to the way credit card payments work, customers' banks already assume that every business running a charge is representing to them "It is our good faith belief that this payment is legitimate" and so they don't expose a way to say "No, really, we're EXTRA SPECIAL sure about this one. Please give us their money." If they come to the conclusion that a payment is likely to not be authorized, they will take action to protect their customer.

(Disclaimer: I work at Stripe.)
For the author, "smart" means "do as I say, now".
I wouldn't consider "5 Best Horror Movies" to be a clickbait title - it tells you exactly what you're going to get. The title of this article is a pure clickbait, IMO - it's designed to arouse curiosity and does not reveal what the article is about.

I guess it depends on what you believe article titles are for. I believe they should first and foremost be a tool for readers to decide whether or not to look at the article at all - therefore they need to accurately tell what the article is about. Sadly, most publishers consider headlines to be a marketing tool (with implicit assumption that the article is interesting for everyone).
I think average salary does go down, but mainly because the "growth track" keeps getting narrower. Seriously, in their twenties just about anyone can keep getting healthy salary increases year after year. It's normal and expected at that stage. By 35, maybe half have been pushed off the fast track, either onto other non-technical tracks or onto a lower technical track. By 40 it's three quarters, and so on. At my age (51) it seems like 90-95% of my cohort have changed roles or been pushed to the fringes where pay stagnates or declines.

Note that it's all based on perceived value, which is only partly based on actual value, which is only partly based on skill. I'm not trying to brag or put anyone down here. A lot of it has to do with what I said in another comment about specialization. Nobody wants to pay a thirty-year veteran's salary for a job where they don't already have deep expertise. People who can find jobs closely aligned with their skills and specialties often continue to do OK. People who can't - and it's usually more to do with shifts in the market than in them - get left out.

The sad fact is that many older programmers' skills and instincts often do apply outside their area of obvious expertise. Recognizing code smells or knowing how to test code properly are valuable skills in any specialty. So is communication, or scheduling, or being able to recognize and mentor up-and-coming young developers. Most older programmers - not just the few lucky ones - are well able to justify their salaries but never get the chance. That's a "soft" kind of ageism, but it's ageism nonetheless.
I wonder about that too. I don't think it's unhealthy as long as you don't believe it's going to provide you with a solution. The only thing I've found that actually helps is spending sufficient time doing things that don't involve thinking so that you form different habits. Meditation has helped in my case, but I bet prolonged exposure to sports/exercise or anything else like that would be of similar benefit.

Any particular Dostoevski you liked?
The 'x for y' metaphor is actually a well-respected positioning technique in strategic marketing. You want your product or service to occupy a place in a prospective customer's mind. The easiest way to do that is to place it close to some things that are already in their minds. Creating an entirely new place is much more difficult when time and attention are limited.

The way I think of it is that clicking on the title is taking you to the content. For a self-post, the content is posted on reddit itself, so the content location is the same as the comments page.

That being said, they've made a few steps toward something closer to your suggestion in some places. For example, if you do a search, the search results behave this way, where clicking the title always takes you to the comments and there's a separate link (with a chain-link icon) to go to the linked content.
In the US, problem #1 is that it is very hard to find people who understand Mathematics sufficiently well to teach it effectively, who are willing to work for the salary typically paid to a teacher.

For example, my 8th grader is being taught "Higher School Algebra" by a teacher who last year taught 5th grade and by all accounts has to leave the classroom often to get tips on the material from the 7th grade math teacher.
The * for * has become the most dreadful cliche.
I wish this were true. We have both AVS and CVV checks on payments and things still made it through a property rental advertising service we run. It was an uphill battle until we implemented https://www.maxmind.com/en/minfraud-services
I have a similar transaction blocked as well. Very cool to see this has been in action for awhile.
I bought mine from Pimoroni. Took two weeks to get to California. I paid in bitcoin so I'm not sure what the exact cost was in dollars. I bought two more for other people.

CS252r: History of Programming Languages
As a designer, I agree completely. The problem is: interaction design really is a discipline in its absolute infancy. It's not graphic design. It's not engineering. It's not architecture. Pretty much anyone can just pick it up and start doing it. And the people who decide to ship shitty designs you're complaining about are more concerned with 'pageviews' or 'installs' (and in turn, their bonus) than actual usability.

Compare the process by which an app or website design makes it out into the world to how a patch makes it into an open source project. Anyone can start programming, but to be accepted as a 'good' programmer you're inevitably vetted by other, better programmers. The ad-hoc peer-review of OSS actually works reasonably well. Most importantly: it can be very critical. Most designers I meet today have laughably thin skin.

Try comparing the most successful projects on GitHub to those on Dribble. Dribble makes my skin crawl.

Anyway, you're right. Most contemporary interaction design is absolutely awful. It's going to take time for the rules of the discipline to evolve. We'd probably see this improve a lot if the apps and sites we used weren't optimized for 'engagement'. They just look like slot machines designed by Portlandia characters.
I worded my comment poorly, I had double negatives, or something.

I would prefer to hire people with publicly visible code.
But not all countries use postal codes, and checking of card registered address details is always a bit fuzzy simply because there may be several correct but different ways a legitimate cardholder might enter them.
Carrier frequency as well. Depending on carrier, rollout status, and device, you can have a vastly different experience in a given area indoors vs outdoors.

What has Trump done to make you think he hates diversity? I get that Trump comes off egotistical, but even if he only cares about his own image, I think it's unfair to say that Trump is "completely against the idea of diversity". Just because he's a big bad white man and wants to put America first that means he hates all diversity?

I cant see any reason for Trump to be against gay people either, or any other group for that matter, but liberals have no problem saying that he's anti-everything. This is the same kind of overly PC whining that is fueling the Trump fire.
Ask HN: Has anyone overcome addiction to distraction?
I am a slave to my phone / unproductive sites, and I don't know how to free myself, despite having read and tried so many tricks.

The three most promising ways of combating distraction that I've used is 1) hiding my phone in my bag, 2) using apps like self-control (helps even though I can undo it), and 3) going out to a study space.

Yet when I do all three, I feel overwhelming frustration for no articulable reason and somehow discover a new way of distracting myself: e.g. going to unblocked sites, and more disturbingly, leaving my study space early to eat even though I am not that hungry (some form of stress-eating or binging).

Have any of you found a way to escape this hell? I am scared that this will never change, and it is in complete conflict with my ambition. It's so humiliating to feel unable of working hard.
Consider a video of an office worker smashing their keyboard in frustration and an interview about the server being constantly down. If the article and comments section focused on the clear inferiority of Logitech peripherals you would probably wonder if brand prejudice was playing a role.
> too much time on their hands

I'm pretty sure this is a root cause of so much conflict anymore. At the end of the day, almost all social media is inconsequential "goings-on".
The idea of a "pre-" course is that you cover ideas needed for the later course. For example, a "pre-calc" course typically covers the sort of algebra that you would need in calculus but not actually integrating or differentiating anything. It's a matter of naming. You could call it "Algebra II" or "pre-calc".
We should teach early calculus along with entry-level SR/GTR instead of rehashed Newtonian crap. Unite math and physics for a while, and kids might actually see the point of it.

It's not great in many respects, but it has the compelling advantage of shifting fraud liability from the merchant to someone else. Depending on your market, it may be worth the loss in conversions from activating it.

Even if you're in a normally low-fraud market, as every business I work with that takes card payments is, almost anyone taking small value card payments on-line is vulnerable to being used as a card testing engine if their system can be automated. If nothing else, being able to toggle the extra check on temporarily if you become aware that your system is being abused that way is an extra level of security you can apply in a hurry.
There is an interesting overlap in Haskell, Standard ML and OCaml as they do type inference. Hence they read like a dynamically typed language, but forces a strict typing discipline by deriving the types from the written code by inference.

I think the "what play should we run"/"what personnel should we use" stuff is probably totally internalized, between the head coach, the offensive/defensive coordinators, and all the positional coaches.

The primary use of the tablets is to consume and analyze new information generated during the game.

But, practically, due to NFL rules, the only thing that the tablets are allowed to do is display still photos of past plays. [0] They've replaced B+W printouts of photos in this role.

Coaches can get the photos faster on the tablets than with the printouts, which can be a huge advantage. But if the system is unreliable, then they might get them slower, or not at all, and waste valuable cognitive capacity on the fucking goddamn malfunctioning tech that is keeping critical information from them in massively time-sensitive situations.

That I think is what's happening with Belichick here. He's notorious for preferring reliability over almost all other considerations. Though I imagine that if full replay video were allowed, it might have gone further before hitting his "fuck this" point.

Also note that there are also team staff (often the offensive/defensive coordinators -- the 2nd level of command, immediately after the head coach) in booths up above the field, with (I think) no technological restrictions, in radio communication with the sideline staff.
