If that's what twitter wants to do, they need to be truthful about it, and perhaps update their mission statement:

Our mission: To give everyone the power to create and share ideas and information instantly, without barriers.

Let me be clear: if they want to push a political agenda, then they have (afaik) every right to. But they should not pretend they're some (ahem) Fair and Balanced firehose of everyone's thoughts and ideas.
I wonder why they wouldn't record these demos and make them available to the general public. Seems like dissemination of this kind of knowledge could be very interesting and beneficial to people outside of just Gates and his advisors.
Hardly anyone argues weak vs. strong types, the battle is primarily between dynamic vs static typing.
Its a slight variation since Adams was careful to not use the word free speech, so they can't use that particular tact (twitter is private, you don't have any right to free speech, read the constitution somtime!).

Who is "we"? I like this content and know that content like this can't exist if the people at CollegeHumor don't get paid, and I hate all the side effects of advertising as a business model, so not only do I pay for YouTube Red but if there were a way to just pay CollegeHumor specifically for this series I would do so in a heartbeat: paying for work is how I use my labor to buy food and other consumables for all the people who work on the things that I consume in my life, not encouraging people to work on things I need or want or simply enjoy but actually allowing that to be possible.

Within a month of buying the house I added insulation in the attic. Shudder to think how much higher the bills would have been if I didn't.
> There is no logic in that, i'm not sure why you asserted that. I noted that long shifts reduce handoff errors.
Consider two scenarios: Scenario 1: 8 hour shifts: Doctor 1 hands off to Doctor 2 at end of 8 hrs Doctor 2 hands off to Doctor 3 at end of 16 hrs Doctor 3 hands off to Doctor 4 (or perhaps 1) at end of 24hrs
Each handoff is a game of telephone.

This is not how this works. You either have acute patients who would indeed need handoffs between day and night teams, and you have programmed patients who usually do not need any handoff. Acute patients are usually managed by very specialized teams both in terms of managing physicians, nurses, and usually residents are not alone at night. Those patients are also indirectly managed by other specialists, wether it be the surgical teams, or the imagery team on call. They are also hooked to at least an EKG machines, and depending on the condition will have more invasive surveillance system (arterial catether, articial life support, dialysis etc...). Those patients might die from a medical error, but actually the handoff are not the problem, those are repeated, digitalized, supported and surveillance is maximal. Errors are due to the team's reactivity and knowledge in front of the severity and extremely fast time course of their condition. That is the deciding factor, of course if the doctors are exhausted, they forget things, they miss the jugular vein, they take more time cauterizing the bleed, or closing the wound, they are afraid to wake up their senior because they know he has not slept since yesterday.

On the other hand you have chronic patients, who are under light surveillance by the nurses at night, who sometime call the doctor on call who knows absolutly nothing of the patient, and is sometime not even of the speciality. If things get rough, the patient becomes "acute" and is managed by the acute team. At night for those patients, handoffs WOULD have been nice, be they were none, not because the residents did not do their 12-15 hour day but because those patients are not supposed to have handoffs to the night team, and because no doctors are paid to stay at night in all chronic services.

> Regarding your other point: > In every country except maybe Switzerland, residency programs last 3-5 years, whatever the number of hours worked per week,
That makes no sense. If that were the case, residents would choose to work an hour a week and easily graduate in 3-5 years. But that would make for a poor doctor, as they need a certain # hours of training.

So they do finish in 3-5 years, and make for as good doctors as US doctors, although they work more reasonable hours which is around 60 hours a week. Although I believe that is still too much to insure quality of care.
The Web Is Broken: how DNS breaks almost every design principle of the internet
That makes a lot of sense for c++ constness, which has virtually nothing to do with JavaScript's const. C++ constness is significantly more far-reaching and therefore more work to get right. I agree with his position.

JavaScript const is just a matter of typing 2 more characters and in exchange you make your code more readable (because you communicate "this stuff will never change from here on", which makes understanding the stuff that does mutate easier). There are no far-reaching consequences. Just type "const" everywhere.
Just a quick note to say congrats to Garry and Alexis. Garry helped us out a ton at 7 cups. He said a startup is like a magnet. The more users you attract, the more powerful your magnet becomes. Alexis has also always been very encouraging and helpful in figuring out things that are not obvious. I highly recommend Initialized!
I don't know how to feel about this article. Four decent sized Doom maps (I'm assuming they're referring to the official iwad maps) doesn't sound like an unusually large map for a community creation. The 2-3 hour time requirement is rather vague (how experienced a player are we talking about? does the time include deaths and re-attempts?) too, but I've certainly played maps that took me as long, and I've watched others play such maps.

I guess there's nothing wrong with TFA per se, but I don't know if there's anything particularly newsworthy in it either. It sounds like the author just isn't aware of what's been going on in the Doom community for the past two decades.

If you're interested in this sort of thing, look for Wendy Carlos' album Switched-On Bach 2000. She revisits the material of her classic electronic music album with modern synthesizer equipment, and uses authentic Bach tunings for the pieces as well. The liner notes for the album explain the tuning systems used, and how they differ from the modern, mathematically-perfect equal temperament. She notes that Bach was himself a first-rate tuner and theorist, and was not above retuning "on the fly" to improve the sound of various compositions. Of course, with synthesizers, a tuning is just a block of data, which can be reloaded as needed.

(As a "bonus track" on the album, she included a realization of "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor." Especially appropriate for the season!)

Ask HN: What are the different components of a Smart Home?
I'm building a new house and want to make sure its future proof by adding smart home components. I'm building most of the controls myself or buying them off-the-shelf. While I have figured the obvious components I believe there is much more that could be done. What are your thoughts to make a home smart?

Some of the components I have figured out are;

Switches and dimmers - Using ESP8266 to control relays, dimmer circuits and RGB controls. Think controlling lights and fans using your phone/voice/sensor data.

Doors and windows - Using ESP8266 to control A/C relays, solenoids, hall sensors and motorised pulleys. Think controlling doors and windows.

Sensors Kit - Using ESP32 with conjunction with dust sensor, gas sensors, light sensors, PIR sensors, smoke sensor, IR blaster, RF blaster, temperature sensor, humidity sensor, pressure sensor etc. Get all as much information about your environment and your movements.

Audio Kit - Using ESP8266 and VS1053 and TDA7492P to stream music via WiFi and Bluetooth. Alexa and other voice assistants included. Because Music!

Kitchen scales - ESP8266 with load sensors [weighting scale] to keep weighing things in realtime, all the time. Think auto-ordering LPG/Rice when its low.

Magic Mirror - Mirror with LCD behind it to give me weather and calendar info. Mirror Mirror on the wall who is the smartest of them all?

IP Camera - Camera to monitor stuff. Because security is priority #1.
They all communicate with a CHIP computer [$9 computer board] over websockets running an Elixir/Phoenix app which in turn communications with mobile apps made using React Native.

What else makes a Home smart? Please share your thoughts.

TV has never been a decent news source, and the desperate-to-fill-24-hours-of-airtime-every-day-with-newsy-content cable networks have been significant worse than the broadcast networks the whole time they've existed. About the only exception was around the time of the 1990-1991 Gulf Crisis/War, where CNN did a pretty decent job at relaying government briefings, at least (other aspects of their coverage may have been problematic, but that one thing they did well, and there was more of that to do than non-24hr news outlets had time for.)

CNN certainly wasn't a decent news source in the late 1990s.
Perhaps they're unaware, or perhaps they just chose a case study they considered interesting as an article subject. "Look at the time and care devoted to this hobby" is a classic article pattern.

I think it is totally irrelevant what the exact pitch is. I play guitar for over 40 years and I rarely tune my guitar exactly to 432 or 440, instead, I often tune my guitar about a whole note lower because I like the sound of the strings with less tension.

Whatever the pitch is, I have my moments playing great and playing terrible. If there is one special quality that might be heavenly then it is the artist composing or performing that beautiful piece of music in the moment, and I never experienced that moment being connected with 432hz in any way.
> A probably small creative team simply made an error while building a camera in good faith that was abused by criminals. Who is the victim here?

Everyone who's been affected by the DDOS. Manufacturers are responsible for the security of their devices. If you ship something that's vulnerable, it's you to fix it. If there are damages, those come out of your pocket.

> It's the IETF that needs to step up. Not the guys in a garage who couldn't code.

No. If you're a guy in a garage who can't code, you shouldn't be writing code, let alone shipping devices.

>"So a 432 Hz retune might be just the thing to mellow out to. Likewise, a 448 Hz retune might be just the kick in the ass I need in the morning to get going. So retune all you like."

I have no idea why my speculations here* seem to be controversial (as judging by the votes), but have you considered that the preferred fundamental pitch actually varies with season, latitude, and time of year? That would explain why no one has settled on a specific pitch for all circumstances. It is ultimately controlled by the length of day. Perhaps time of day as well, if we split the day into sun up and sun down.

I've been using Fort Awesome for 6 months and I'd highly recommend them. For $50/year it's a steal.

My favorite workflow is grabbing an svg icon from Noun Project, modifying it in Illustrator until it suits my needs, copying it (Cmd + C), and pasting it directly into the Fort Awesome import box.

This has all the benefits of generating svgs on your own with very little downside. It's saved me a lot of time and it makes turning an app design into a finished product a much faster process.

It sucks, but what's the solution? Because let's face it, the primary purpose of "being rich" is to provide for one's family, at least from my point of view. If I work my ass off it's to make sure I can help my kids do better than I did.

What's the point of being "wealthy" if it's not to help your kids have a better life than your own?

I don't want to sound insensitive. All these studies about kids born in poverty and unable to escape it sound very unfair. On the other hand, there has to be a reason for people seeking wealth. And taking care of your children has to be the main driver.
It's amazing how there is such a huge fan base for old games and technologies. Not to take this too off topic but this may be why fears of technological unemployment may be overblown, because there will always be uses for old technology or integrating new technology with old technology.
> [T]here's a point when a politician is advocating for something so egregious that supporting said politician can no longer be ignored.

There are no words by which I can be sufficiently emphatic in my disagreement.

Politics [whether at the national level, or "mere" office politics] is the process of making group decisions. Democratic politics are built upon a shared group consensus. The only way this process can be valid -- that is, to have an outcome which accurately reflects the communal beliefs of the group -- is if the members can express themselves unhindered by fear of repercussion.

The only response in a democratic system to ideas with which you disagree is to argue against and persuade their audience to no longer support them. To do otherwise is to repudiate the very premises and processes upon which modern representative government is built.
> Um, what?

Sorry for the confusion, the ES5 example looked like a "factory" function, so I assumed that was what he meant. You do not have to wrap the constructor function in another function! ...

function Animal(name) {
// This code is run when the object is created. No need to wrap another function around Foo
var animal = this;
animal.name = name;
}
Animal.prototype.speak = function speak() {
var animal = this;
console.log(animal.name + ' makes a noise.');
}

Here is a "factory" function:

function AnimalFactory(name) {
var animalName = name;

function speak() {
console.log(animalName + ' makes a noise.');
}

return {speak: speak}
}

var animal = AnimalFactory('Animal'); // You can omit new
animal.speak(); // animal makes a noise
setTimeout(animal.speak, 1000); // you can also do this

The implementation with the :before class definitely qualifies as a bit of a hack. No question.

Some of the icons themselves represent something of a universal language for websites. Using those symbols in a typeface is similar in some ways to character based languages like Japanese or Chinese. So I might argue that icons as fonts are quite an appropriate use.

The burn is an important part of the pepper experience. For some, building a tolerance to capsaicin is a hobby. They're not missing the point, they're just eating them for a different reason.

And what's nice about building up an extreme tolerance to capsaicin is that afterwards you are able to better experience the flavor of peppers, without focusing entirely on the heat.
You're not wrong, however the parent was specifically replying to a post that justified home cooking with financial considerations and didn't even go into the quality-of-life aspect at all.

I think the takeaway is that if you prefer coding over cooking then that's justifiable from a financial and time efficiency point of view. If you prefer cooking and the presumed family quality time over (even more) coding then that's also very reasonable.
