I'm absolutely a free-range parent. My kids have the same freedom I had in the 80s to play outside with friends and roam the neighborhood and walk to the store. But come on, man. If I had wandered out on the roof at the age of 5, my parents would have read me the Riot Act and boarded up the window. Giving your kids a normal childhood doesn't mean throwing all caution to the winds.

Yup! We approached that iteratively, until our son was properly 'free range.' We noted cases where other adults ask our son where his parents were. He didn't know; we were watching from afar. That happened a couple of times.

Beyond a couple of judgmental parents, no action was taken. One parent asked our son for his name, first and last. Our son, per instructions, refused to give his last name.

At that point, the parent has a difficult decision to make. Do they call 911? The answer is 'no'. There is no emergency.

I want to make it clear that I feel what you are describing. My wife and I have felt it, and we still feel it.

But objectively, the risk is very low.

Engineer the situation such that a 'hover-parent' has no choice but to call 911.

Our son carried a cheap pre-paid cell phone from a relatively early age too. He had only to open it and push the 'send' button twice and we would be there. So even in the extremely unlikely event of cops showing up, we would be there minutes later.

This thing that feels so strongly like a risk really isn't.

You're getting downvoted like crazy, but I really think you're just making a simple mistake in interpretation. You seem to think extradition occurs after trial, so that the convicted accused serve their sentence somewhere else. No, that's not how extradition works. The accused is extradited to face trial somewhere else.
I think that just means they can now download the recording of the lander's signal from Mars Express (which is being used as a signal relay), not that they yet know if the recording indicates a successful landing.

Show HN: Trump Insults App – 200+ real quotes
It's starting to come (EDM is Schiaparelli lander, TGO is orbiter):

--------------------

Latest status for lander: still unknown (next checkpoint after 20:00 CEST)

Latest status for orbiter: seems good

--------------------

1) The @ESA_EDM landing recording from #MarsExpress has started arriving on Earth, #ESOC teams report seeing packets flowing #ExoMars

2) It will take just over 10 minutes for #MarsExpress to transmit the @ESA_EDM recording #ExoMars

3) Interpretation of the @ESA_EDM recording is quite complex - could take more than 30 minutes

4) @ESA_EDM recording from #MarsExpress is signal only, no telemetry. We can already tell a lot from that though.

5) #MarsExpress team now processing @ESA_EDM landing recording to extract the trace of the lander's signal as it descended to Mars.

6) #MarsExpress recording of @ESA_EDM descent is now processed and is being analysed by experts at #ESOC

7) ACQUISITION OF ORBITER SIGNAL! #ESOC hears @ESA_TGO's signal loud & clear after it emerges from behind #Mars

8) Initial reports from @ESA_TGO telemetry are that it performed exactly as expected during the #BigBurn

9) @ESA_TGO team are now analysing the health of the orbiter, looking good so far

10) Teams monitoring the Schiaparelli lander continue waiting for indication of the lander’s progress. Engineers are waiting for the next signal receipt slot, which will be provided by NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, which will overfly the Schiaparelli landing site between about 18:49 and 19:03 CEST, and downlink any received signals at around 20:00 CEST.

11) @ESA_EDM recording from #MarsExpress is inconclusive - not clear yet what the status of the lander is

Picking it up first and putting it in the bin? I've done this with porn and with images on cigarette cartons.

Not always possible, but just because there are problems with "real" life doesn't mean we shouldn't remove problems from online life.

Online life magnifies niches that in the offline world would be hidden away - that can be good but also means exposure to things that one is unlikely to ever be exposed to in the real world.

One can go on the web property of respected international media companies and be exposed to content that a person IRL would never share with you for fear of it ending in arrest or destruction of their public character.

I've seen far worse things online (mostly by "choice", curiosity can be a bad thing) than would ever be printed by a locally identifiable company.

I've seen this time and time again in multiple different industries.

Electronics technology & software are truly great and wonderful, but they are still too immature (the latter more so) to be truly reliable. I'm confident that someday they will actually be superior to physical technology like pads of paper, but they're just not there yet. Honestly, I don't really expect them to get where they need to be within my lifetime.

For that matter, high-tech stuff isn't as reliable as low-tech stuff. I know that when I pick up my landline wired headset that I will have crystal-clear calling, every single time; I don't know that with my cordless phone; I don't know that with my cellphone. I know that when I pick up a pen & paper, that I will be able to quickly write and draw whatever I want; I don't know that with my laptop, nor with my tablet, nor with my phone.
And the data is of the expected size indicating that the lander likely transmitted successfully. We just await it's re-transmission and arrival here on Earth to confirm.

While you are right that TDD is about design, and that it creates examples of use and contracts in a sense. There are better methods for this purpose like Design by Contract which in my opinion is a superior method. Why?

Mostly because TDD process of red-green-refactor is an evolutionary process. Like taking mother nature to design.

With the (possibly incorrect) thread title as it currently stands, this is a relevant and interesting read.

The interesting part was waiting 12 years for another orbiter to image the landing area to figure out what went wrong with Beagle 2.

If ExoMars/Schiaparelli never sends a signal indicating what happened, would NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter HiRISE camera been able to photograph Schiaparelli (the lander) and figure out what went wrong?

The Beagle 2 is 2 meters across and Schiaparelli has a 2.4 m diameter.

GPG - without trying to devalue the good work put into it - is also one of the tools with one of the worst command line interfaces I know; by default it prints a confusing amount of wholly irrelevant, debug level information, to the point where it's hard to see where the actual output is (eg. --verify success). A slew of different key identificators (short ID, long ID, fpr, name, email, ...) that are all mixed in a bunch of places and only sometimes interchangeable etc. etc.

The UX is just horrendous, and none of the GUI tools improve on that.

I agree and when I order never concern myself with prime shipping. However I do find a slight distaste anytime I receive shipping information to find it won't be here for 3+ days. I'm not sure why but something about immediate item receipt is rewarding and waiting for more than a few days I am less excited about receiving said package.

Long time C++ dev here(~15 years) currently loving Rust. Someone can probably put together a more eloquent comment however here's my top marks.

1. No memory corruptions/null pointers. Legit holds up to the promises here.

2. The path of least resistance is single-ownership which is far and away the best way I've seen to structure C/C++ applications.

3. Cargo: Pure awesome. Simply one of the best dependency management/build tools I've used.

4. Dead simple x-platform support. Windows, Linux, all just works. Heck I just built an android arm-eabi target yesterday on windows with no NDK/etc.

5. Tagged unions, pattern matching. The best effing iterator class I've seen bar none. Once you've used these you don't want to go back.

6. Great built-in unit testing support(combines with Cargo above).

7. Amazing community, no ego and tons of people happy to help.

I still work regularly on C++0x11 codebases but any greenfield stuff I've moved over to Rust fulltime.

I still like C++ but it's so much more painful to use. Heck just earlier today I got bit by <locale> not compiling on OSX due to some obscure compiler differences that worked on MSVC and GCC. There's certainly good improvements coming to C++ but they have to support so much legacy code that I don't think they could ever make the large breaking changes that Rust has to produce a better experience.
I think there are 20 million or so programmers (not sure how you count this) today. I bet there were less than 1% of that back 35 years ago though of course no clue how to measure that either.

You can vote your conscience in round 2 only. In round 1, your best strategy is to only vote for one of the top three frontrunners, so you don't waste your vote.

And suppose your favorite frontrunner would probably lose a head to head contest with your third favorite frontrunner. Then you may want to vote for your second favorite frontrunner, to make sure she gets into the runoff and has a chance to defeat your #3.
Right, but we already know that the lander emitted some signals part way through the descent (directly transmitted to Earth 1 hours ago):

> #GMRT signal trace has jumped again, which should be the signature of @ESA_EDM parachute deployment #ExoMars

https://twitter.com/esaoperations/status/788755782665928704

> Further jumps in the signals from #GMRT - should show heatshield separation and powered descent #ExoMars

https://twitter.com/esaoperations/status/788755964786839552

So this doesn't tell us anything new. What's still to be seen is whether it survives the landing on the surface.
I was under the impression the data sent to MarsExpress was a confirmatory landing signal. No?

Been there, done that. Went away once I realized how fake and asexual porn actually is and that 90% of stuff out there (both vanilla and extreme, pro and amateur) really has no fucking reason to turn anyone on once the initial novelty wears off. I don't believe that wanking to people who are not aroused/shy/insecure/bored/desperate/trying hard to make a show ought to feel any good. It really is hard to find good porn.

Correlates with relationship problems, one could wonder which way the causation goes. Why should anyone get hard for someone he is with only for social acceptance or, worse yet, self-acceptance?

TLDR Summary:

"If you are wondering why a socially liberal and well-educated cartoonist such as myself is not afraid of Trump, it’s because I don’t see the pink elephant. To me, all anti-Trumpers are experiencing a shared illusion.

Before you scoff at mass, shared illusions as being unlikely, keep in mind that everyone with a different religion than yours is experiencing exactly that. Mass shared illusions are our most common experience.

If you see something unlikely – such as a new Hitler rising in the midst of America – and I see nothing remotely like that – I’m almost certainly right and you’re almost certainly having the illusion. I say that because the person who sees the unlikely addition to reality is the one experiencing the illusion nearly every time. Trump as Hitler-in-America is an addition to reality that only some can see. It is a pink elephant. It is a classic hallucination."
Hello, first time submitting on HN.

Voters'Minute is a video sharing website for political debates/issues (i.e. US Election or Brexit).

• Users can upload a one-minute video on a topic.

• Users don't choose which videos they watch on a topic, they're randomly selected.

Pretty sick of how recent political issues have been debated or covered in the media.

Always found the most compelling cases came from individuals rather than campaigns, so decided to put an MVP together.

Build in Rails, using Transloadit for processing & hosted on Heroku.

Feel free to add a video or forward on to any politically minded friends you may have.

Agreed, it should be hard to explain benefits even to non technical people. It's like doing a fire drill, if you do it frequently when the actual fire happens you will know what to do. Similarly with infrastructure, it might not be good handling rare events, but once these events are not rare you will learn to handle them.

The biggest issue IMO is explaining need to make things more resilient. Actually the technical people (mainly developers) might be the biggest obstacle, because it adds more work for them (with no visible benefit to them, because when application fails it's ops who get woken up).

"High resolution" could mean any display >= 1080p or so, whatever size (6 inches, or 6 feet).

DPI, being "dots per inch" relates to resolution for a given physical size, so a "low resolution" 720p display that was only 1 inch across would have a high DPI (in this case, 720 dots per inch), but a "high resolution" 4k display at 50 feet across would have a low DPI.

Generally speaking, the higher the DPI the harder it is to discern individual pixels, and the better for viewing fine details.
If ageism is the direct cause of the move to less green pastures that kind of circularizes the argument.

Perhaps we could start by penalizing companies like HP that actively participate to this waste by producing stuff like their shitty disposable printers (where buying new cartridges can cost more than buying a whole new printer). Likewise, we could also penalize phone providers who keep pushing new phones on people for absolutely no good reason (other than to line their pockets). Or maybe, and I know this is some kind of wild idea, we could require manufacturers to make interoperable parts that can actually be changed and switched between devices, regardless of brand.

People can imagine all sorts of things, but the US already has solid evidence that Russia is behind a number of US hacks. Not only that, but the US has already said Russia is behind those attacks; it would actually harm their argument if they built a giant PR campaign around this dude, because it would call into question the previous attribution.

I can imagine this going like this:

1. They extradite this guy to the USA.

2. They indict him for hacking, try him, and find him guilty.

3. He serves 4.3 years in federal prison.

4. He is released, returns to Russia, and we never hear about him again.

Tech companies pitching in to battle the talent shortage
My understanding is that there are three spacecraft involved:

Schiaparelli, the lander; really just a technology demonstrator. The signal was lost at about landing. It was always intended to go into low power mode after landing to wake up later, so it's possible that the signal just didn't make it all the way to Earth, but it may also have crashed.

The ExoMars orbiter, the Trace Gas Orbiter, which carried Schiaparelli to Mars; it's just braked into orbit but has gone behind Mars and is uncontactable, but at last report everything was fine. It has (hopefully) recorded Schiaparelli's telemetry for downlinking to Earth later.

Mars Express, an existing probe in orbit around Mars; it has also been recording Schiaparelli's telemetry; it can't decode the packets, but it can be used for doppler analysis.

Right now Mars Express is downloading its data. They say it'll take about 10 minutes. I don't know whether that data will be enough to say whether Schiaparelli landed safely or not. I do know that it'll be a while until all the data from both orbiters is downloaded and analysed, and by then Schiaparelli may have woken up and called home (I don't have the schedule to hand), so it's not a writeoff yet.

Edit for clarification: Turns out that TGO was actually doing its engine burn while out of contact from Earth (very small engine burning for a very long time), so when it comes out from behind Mars we'll know whether it made it into orbit or not. I should have actually guessed that from playing KSP.
