Do you realise that children become adults and that ignoring problems faced by other people's children means your ignoring what will become the whole world's problems.

If the internet fucks up everyone's kids except your own then your own kids still have to live in that world.

The idea that future generations are individual families private problems is an insidious wrong.

We're in the world together and where possessible should share that responsibility.
He also noted that the comms system fails regularly.

Seems NFL sets them up a few hours before kickoff.

Perhaps it is time for NFL to improve their tech support in all areas. There might be a relationship between the tablet issues and the problems with the comms system.
My read of it is that there are absolutely a lot of problems that tablets/electronic devices could solve on the sidelines of an NFL game. However, the urgency and real-time nature of football such that a lot of money and careers can be made/destroyed by a single game, any/all bugs are immediately seen as a significant hinderance.

> So the question is, if this "safer" implementation supported "y_iter.hasNext()", would it be better for it to throw an exception (or whatever) in this case, or just return false?

The safest option is to compile this code as Rust and have it fail to satisfy the borrow checker. And basic syntax parsing because this is C++ - but ehh, details.

Certain static analysis tools may also catch the issue. Well, if you're using real C++ iterators and not ::hasNext at least.
We don't know that he performed operations from the Czech Republic, or if he was just apprehended there on vacation.
Well, the issue is the media reporting.

Most of the time, if a child is abducted, it is the other parent in a post-divorce situation, rather than a kidnapper / molester. But we do see stories about those occasionally in the national news, so most people are "aware of the danger".

Ditto, I suppose, for CPS getting called by an over-reactive neighbor upon seeing a child wandering around without supervision. These types of stories also make the national news, for whatever reason, so most people are "aware of the danger".

And thus, we live in a climate of fear. Yay!

For the record, I spent some parts of my childhood wandering around in the woods alone (or with friends) where I could have: fallen down a hill, drown in a stream, fallen out of a tree, etc., etc., etc. without a reasonable possibility of timely rescue (no mobile phones back then). And I somehow survived. It is a shame that most kids in urban or suburban areas won't get a chance to do this anymore.

High DPI refers to a high pixel density. High resolution refers many pixels.

If I have one million pixels on a 10cm by 10cm screen, and one million pixels on a 100cm by 100cm screen, they both have the same resolution because they both have the same number of pixels.

However, the 10cm screen has a much higher pixel density because the pixels are much smaller and closer together in order to fit on such a small surface.

The effect of a high pixel density is that you cannot tell pixels apart because they are so small and clustered, even up close. This results in a much more fine looking image.

'Retina' is just a marketing term for high DPI displays.
I believe the lander was expected to send a confirmation signal directly to Earth after landing, which it did not do.
Belichick is considered the best coach in football of the last twenty odd years, so he has probably his process with pen and paper nailed down. And the thing is, new technology requires a learning curve both individually and also on a larger scale culturally, so I would guess that tablets after a year or so of use would provide a lot of value, however they do not do so now.
We sell esports merchandise (t-shirts, hats, etc) with our team logo, and there's a lot of counterfeits out there trying to use our brand on print-on-demand sites (Redbubble, Zazzle, etc) and generic shopping sites like Alibaba and Amazon.

Out of all the sites we've investigated and sent takedown notices to, Amazon has by far been the worst. The marketplace is full of counterfeit products, and we've been having a very hard time trying to get them removed, even though we have copyright over the design and trademark on our brand name.

Quote Amazon on our latest batch, "We respect a manufacturer's right to enter into exclusive distribution agreements. However, we do not help to enforce these agreements. This is a matter between the manufacturer and the distributors.".

Clinton has inclusionary polices?? Can you explain what you mean? She is not as rude and crude as Trump, but she is divisive in her own way.
There are libraries (I didn't downvote you but I suppose that is why as simple googling shows that) [1].

That being said one would argue if you are going the microservices route you shouldn't need an exceptional amount of routing anyway. You only need to really handle raw HTTP for the most part (also I would not say HTTP is the end all for microservices... I have been using a Rust AMQP library with some success [2]).

Also although Go has green threads it is still debatable if that is the right way or golden way particularly when so many backends like databases (e.g. postgres) can't handle async (tons of connections) anyway. Old school one thread per request libraries in Java like dropwizard can still do fairly well. I think Rust made the right choice with native threads and hopefully some interesting green thread or reactive libraries will come forth soon (or already here ... haven't googled it).

Also I'm just not sure I really buy into Go's channels but that is just a personal opinion at the moment.

Wrong place to ask the question. HN has a high proportion of people with an unusual interest in trying out programming languages and I would say the average visitor doesn't particularly like C++.

From my point of view, Rust doesn't offer any benefits that would justify a switch. I would lose a lot of experience, libraries, a mature stable platform and job opportunities in exchange for more memory safety - something that's not a particularly pressing issue for me.

Furthermore, I think many developers obsess about languages and keep searching for a perfect language that doesn't exist and even if it did wouldn't have a big impact on productivity and the business anyway. The major challenges in organisations are of a social or process nature.

They're also biased in a surprising way by social factors such as who created a PL or the community.
Meanwhile PHP, Java, C++ and C# and C make the world go round.

Key questions for me when evaluating whether to learn Rust (or any language):

* can I get a good job programming in this? Without moving to another country or continent.

* is my industry showing interest in it?

* is any industry showing interest?

The answer to all these questions seems to be "no".
Rust has been pretty critical to me for getting my work up and running with minimal debugging (I'm in CS grad school, working on deep learning and optimization). I'm super productive programming in Rust, which is also generally a pleasure to write in.

Just last week I had to land a pretty major refactoring (swapping out a single wrapper type for a differentiable "operator" with an implicit operator graph instead). It basically just worked out of the box as soon as I got it to compile. Definitely something to be said for working _with_ the compiler and its messages on moving, borrowing, mutability etc. (Incidentally, if I had to program exclusively in C++11/14, thanks to Rust I'd have become much better at programming in C++.)

What do you mean ultra conservative? I can see that the opposite is true: when there are no tests, devs are conservative, ie. they are afraid to change anything. Having at least some tests, they have the possibility to change and refactor more safely.

Thanks for the history lesson. It was valuable, though from what I understand, it's separate from the motivation for the Tanden/Podesta conversation on display here.
I am using in a still under construction pc a CRT screen.

Two things became obvious:

1. CRT contrast is amazing, specially black levels. DOOM 4 is utterly gorgeous.

2. Yet CRT is now mostly unusable because questionable design decisions, I keep stumbling in new games and websites that presume you have a 4k monitor (seriously, I saw some games where the UI on my screen ended with letters unreadable without a loupe...) and presume you have a specific type of lcd, and thus rely heavily on subpixel anti alias that beside obvious looking outright broken on crt with deformed letters, also look wrong on panels that aren't classic lcd or have a unusual pixel organization (for example a panel that instead of rgb in horizontal is gbr, or vertical, or a triangle, or those cheap mobile panels with less blue pixels)

One of the things that most piss me off are windows new default font, that was designed to only look good on lcd. And all those custom web fonts, sometimes gigantic, so you see for example a newspaper article load with all images, then suddenly the text disappear and only come back 2 minutes later and with some funky unreadable font.

"If everything that is text was just black you would loose the hierarchy"

Nonsense. Type weights exist for this, as does size, grouping, placement etc.

Typography IS hierarchy.
technology has no purpose. it is a natural phenomenon that arises without any in-built ethics or direction. technology can manifest as a tool (to amplify human potential) or a machine (to replace human labour). the effect of a technology can be influenced broadly, for example by who owns and promotes a technology (open-source vs proprietary models) and which groups in society it is put to use to benefit.
Absolutely. I was quite surprised to see so many attacks against wiki leaks on HN.

This is what inevitably happens when you have a solution looking for a problem.

The other includes Jira, Confluence, Infor, Sharepoint, Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Adobe Illustrator, GIMP, Skype, Webex, Success Factors, and a whole bunch of other stuff.

One is generally subject to extradition if they are charged with an offense covered by an extradition treaty (there are often procedural details here, but IIRC they generally don't extend much beyond verifying that there is a minimally plausible basis for the charges, similar to a preliminary hearing.)

Guilt or innocence is determined at trial after extradition; guilt isn't a question to be resolved to determine whether one is a subject to extradition.
I stumbled upon porn when walking to the park as a 7 year old. I guess if I had a helicopter parent it's POSSIBLE they would've run to grab it from me before I could see it. Of course I would've hated my parents if they had been helicopter parents, and I'd probably be a worse adult as a result.

Are you planning on hovering over your children 24/7 for the rest of their lives? Because you can't protect them. And ruining all of society in order to delay exposing your child to difficult things for, at best, a couple of years, is ridiculous. If you don't want your children seeing NSFL things on a computer, don't let them use a computer.
Modern?

1990 Erlang is presented at ISS'90, which results in several new users, e.g Bellcore

Python was conceived in the late 1980s[1] and its implementation was started in December 1989

Both (and pretty much all languages other than the first ones) borrow heavily from languages that came before them.

You deem that syntax "weird" only because you're experience is with other families of languages. If we all grew up writing Prolog, we'd think the algol C-like languages looked weird.

Companies being located in cities doesn't prevent you from living in the suburbs and commuting in by your mode of choice. Companies located in suburbs make it extremely inconvenient to live in a city and commute out in any mode other than a vehicle, which you would not have use for otherwise.
I am a parent of 2 teenage boys (16 and 18) and this is similar to the philosophy under which they were raised. Contrary to what people are saying in the posts, it is not difficult to raise your children this way, nor more dangerous. The worst injuries either boy has sustained have all been at organized activities. The benefits, and I can't overemphasize this, outweigh whatever the hazards.

The problem isn't the kids of course, but parents, who are extremely overprotective of their children. I blame our media, which focuses on the violence and dangers in our society to make money while ignoring we're living in literally the safest time in history. They've scared the parents into thinking the world is too dangerous for their children.

It's the kids who suffer. They don't get the learn autonomy, or how to use their imagination, or how to set their own boundaries. And most of all, how to productively manage boredom. I see how they're doing that these days - they've got their noses in phones.
Ah yes, that makes total sense. I suppose those that would like a nicer interface can just implement one on top. Like the proposed array_view<> and span<> interfaces.

I get the nostalgia for something like the c64 - but I think Alan Kay has a point, paraphrasing Montessori - that if we want to prepare someone for (a better) future we need to place them in that environment. So we need an intuitive, powerful environment suited for parallel processing (starting small, say a thousand cores or so). That's if we want to prepare them for the future.

If we're content with giving them some "best of 80s"-ideas, I think racket and/or Pharo Smalltalk is about as good as we can make it.

I'm guilty of stooping down to less powerful and futuristic systems myself - I find python to a very good mix of intuitive / simple and "real world" useful.

Other than that, I guess playing with forth in a boot loader is pretty good if what one really wants is "close to hardware":

Bill Belichick in his episode of a Football Life lived with the clock being wrong in his car because he simply couldn't change it[0]. I'd argue that all this currently shows is that the system was not worth the time for BB to get to grips with. This is not to say that its a bad system, just that it didn't work for one user. It's only news because BB happens to be in the conversation for greatest Head Coach of an NFL team ever.

Same thing here, but mostly because I tweaked Pocket's CSS to fit my needs (font, font size, colors, and article width IIRC). Now I feel as comfortable as I can be while reading from it.

Going back to adjusting to a different style for the every single article I read is just not an option. Sure, I can do it if the article is short, but if it's >1000 words, I'm reading it in Pocket.
If the films that have been censored hadn't been, I don't think anyone would be directly be suffering other than the politicians who have some of the public screaming at them. However, if there were no censorship, producers would know they could put anything up and perhaps we would get steadily more and more filth on the screen. Obviously that's hard to be sure about either way.

I think the minimal complete censorship they do now (which seems to be entirely sex/violence related) is probably in about the right place - if people and papers on both side are complaining, that's a good sign you might have found the right balance!
I read it during my commute. I had ~40 minute uninterrupted on a train each way, each day.

It was problematic. During that period were the only times I ever missed my stops, both going to work and home. And that's with 2 voice announcements per stop over the train PA. Far too engrossed.

Also the closest I've come to getting seriously injured in the station because I refused to stop reading on arrival.
simply by 'accidentally' going to the wrong website, be exposed to imagery that really is not going to help them be well-adjusted in life, without any safeguards in place, there is something wrong.

The worst of the worst content perverting a well-adjusted life come from popular, generally SFW, mass-media outlets. If the goal of web filtering is for a well-adjusted life, put the firewall in front of sensationalism, fear-mongering, outrage-bait and hate-mongering.

Or, in other words, block all blogs, news, and clickbait sites. Porn can get through though. Sure it's taboo, but society as a whole is much better at understanding it does not represent reality.
A discussion is taking place in response to content and subject of this post. I would hardly call that "obscuring the details of this announcement."
Curious since you say you work on deep learning/optimization. I'm a data scientist who does most everything in Python, but I've been interested in learning Rust. What is the state of "data science" toolkit for Rust at this point? For reference, I regularly use sklearn, Pandas, and Spark and would be looking for similar tools.
I don't think it's so much a mistake as a disagreement with the process of extradition. Government wants person so they can abridge their freedom from across the globe to satisfy the government's belief that they have the right person.

It's understood the trial ultimately determines the person's fate but it does seem like more proof or evidence should be made public before taking a rather rather drastic action like this. They don't have to show their whole hand, but something that is convincing enough that they have the right guy.

Again completely
Realize that's not how extradition works it's just it does seem like a raw deal that flies in the face of the U.S. Justice system ideals
Reader Mode in Firefox is a pretty good start at this. It's especially nice on overly-designed news sites.
While it definitely looks like Mike doesn't discriminate against girls(since several were present in the story and pictures) I find the focus on boys less than ideal. "Tomboys" exist, and even girls who tend more to the "traditional" female gender roles like to play outside and be rambunctious. To me, he should be focusing on all kids not a particular gender.

Edit: I also think encouraging kids to segregate less by gender might help with our other discrimination/segregation issues as well but that's pure conjecture.
>> I prefer a smaller language with a large library ecosystem

I think this is the reason why Java is so popular and Go is becoming increasingly popular. The average programmer can succeed with combination and become productive faster.
good observation. makes me think also about the tendency of computers and the internet to actually slow us down in our work!

their general-purpose nature means that our minds take on the additional complexity of context switching as we use our tools for multiple simultaneous tasks, and indeed this generality means that they can be quickly adapted to new contexts. contrast this to specialist tools which, once learned, provide significant increases in efficiency in the specific context to which they have been adapted (including the benefits of increased concentration owing to lack of distraction!) but cannot always be re-engineered easily to suit new contexts.

I'm guessing it has far more to do with network connectivity than the tablet itself. The problems he describes to me sound like exactly what I would expect in a stadium filled with 100,000 cellphones emitting wifi and cellular interference.

As others have said, I think it depends on the children's personalities and parenting style. There are definitely things we could have done better. Our children's specific stories:

Youngest is extraverted, confident, and resilient by nature. I'm pretty sure the trip was a net plus.

Middle has anxiety and couldn't get counseling or treatment in China, and the anxiety developed into a pretty severe disorder. (In treatment now in the US.) But she also gained perspective on different cultures and approaches to life and has friends around the world. So some good outcomes, some bad.

Our oldest is introverted and thoughtful, but she's slow to recover from setbacks, and there were plenty -- especially academic -- from living abroad. She's also very slow to make friends. Probably a net negative for her. I think she would have been better off staying in one place. But maybe she'll be okay. Grandma tells me not to worry.
I own two computers and have a work laptop (all PCs):
