I run Asteroid OS on the old LG watch (which I also got for free; probably a prime market for this OS). It's still in alpha so it's fairly buggy. But it looks really nice, particularly for being FOSS. It can (in principle) do notifications, weather, and music control. I look forward to them smoothing it all over, but I wear it already.

I didn't mean to imply that Lisp was only 20 years old or that common lisp was precisely 20 years old (I used the `~` to indicate that Common Lisp was approximately 20 years old), I just wasn't sure whether Lisp has always been a compiled language, so I restricted my claim to being a claim about Common Lisp and estimated its age conservatively.

Well, considering that the biggest period of growth private schools experienced was during desegregation, I would wager that most private schools exist as an escape hatch for parents who find their school district undesirable for one reason or another. Also, most private school students in the US go to a religiously-affiliated institution so there is a strong element of religious indoctrination there.

Stereotypically, charter schools are the ones that are supposed to be better than public schools at a cheaper cost to the government (charter schools can be private or quasi-public).

We're not in disagreement, I'm a reluctant participant for the common good. Part of my point was, the sky was falling 40 years ago for those who blamed the previous generation and protested paying in. And the SSA is still viable today and keeping those 'boomers' off the streets. It could fail tomorrow, and it's going to take policy makers with a backbone to keep it up, but that's what we have today, as a functioning society that takes care of their elderly and infirmed. Mostly. Considering what travesties private healthcare, prisons and pension funds have gotten us, I tend to doubt an 'open market' solution is more sustainable to what we have.

We already pay for the public infrastructure through taxation. If the degree of taxation isn't suitable given the degree of use, there could be a corporate tax rate (I wouldn't support that, but it isn't unheard of).

This does not, however, give the government a blank check on an individual or a business's rights. We don't barter our rights for public benefits - we pay for them through taxation.

2017: Goals and Review
That's the artist's fault, not Patreon. I've sponsored some artists on Patreon at $1/mo.

I don't think it's a transaction cost issue; Patreon charges my credit card once per month (aggregating multiple $1-3/mo charges into a single charge), and I believe they pay the artists once per month too (aggregating hundreds or thousands of contributions).
That's neat. I had no idea calc could do calculus!
The Good Life [1] is an interesting account by Scott and Helen Nearing of living in a self-sufficient way (motivated largely by the great depression and a desire to isolate themselves from the ups and downs of the larger economy).

It did sound pretty appealing when I read it to live in a more primitive way and have to deal with less of the stresses of modern life. It would require a very different set of skills than I have now, though.

I could see communes or something like them coming back as a way of sharing the cost of purchasing land. Where I live, houses are pretty expensive and rural land is only available in large (also expensive) lots. A group of people could conceivably pool their resources to buy a large lot in the countryside and then put up an apartment building (assuming the local zoning laws have any exploitable loopholes that allow that sort of thing).

From Theodore Ts'o, 2012:

"Create a new function, get_random_bytes_arch() which will use the architecture-specific hardware random number generator if it is present. Change get_random_bytes() to not use the HW RNG, even if it
is avaiable.

...

So it's much better to use the HW RNG to improve the existing random
number generator, by mixing in any entropy returned by the HW RNG into
/dev/random's entropy pool, but to always _use_ /dev/random's entropy
pool."

You can actually do a tip jar. I probably should stop saying this, because no one pays any attention. Sigh. But, honest, it can be done.

I don't make a lot of money via tips -- and some of my sites still have ads -- but I make more via tips than ads. I think as I get more traffic, I will get more tips. And I would rather have my audience support my writing than some "sponsor." At some point, I might also do Patreon.
The "at least" is meant to convey that the API doesn't promise only one will be woken. It's very similar to the way that pthread_cond_signal() is documented by POSIX to wake at least one thread waiting on the condition variable, and for the same underlying reason.

I guess it depends on what you mean by the "connected lifestyle." A focus on rapid-fire micro-updates sent out to a general audience instead of a more personalized and thought out conversation? I think there are a number of people tired of that. But alternatives don't have to follow this model. They could be based around longer, more thought out and more personalized correspondence (like e-mail), or on developing real world communities (like Meetup).

I think Slack is a good example of this. What it's doing is possible on other platforms, but it's better at what it does and so it's attracting a lot of attention. Eventually some site like that is going to attract enough people who start using it as there primary online interpersonal interaction page, and let their presence on other sites stagnate. At which point other people will start navigating to the platform simply because that's where everyone's going, and you'll get a snowball effect.

Like with a lot of things, once it gets started it will probably happen very rapidly.

create-react-app doesn't support server side rendering. There are apps that don't need that- but I believe SSR should be the default, not the edge case.

create-react-app is a bundle of configuration. Configuration you'll likely need to override eventually. You're advising people new to the ecosystem blindly trust opaque configuration, and not bother understanding the underlying tools? This is terrible advice. (And if your argument is that you shouldn't use a tool without knowing how it works... Why use CRA at all? Write your own config.)
This is all possible on Linux today with timerfd [0] and eventfd [1]. You can use the same mechanism for async file-IO with libaio and the IOCB_FLAG_RESFD [2] flag.

Granted libaio only really works well on XFS [3], and even there it has issues.

I run a non-tech based business www.texadmissions.com while traveling the world full-time. I help students apply to college specializing in admission to UT-Austin. I am a former admissions counselor for UT. I founded my business in April 2015 and it is my only revenue stream. I work 99% by e-mail, though occasionally I skype or receive calls via international sim card.

I am a lead moderator on www.reddit.com/r/applyingtocollege and I produce content through a blog and a popular Youtube channel. My traffic is completely organic - I don't pay for advertising. My only competitor is the university itself. They are notoriously bad about getting information out to the public. I supply that demand and live off consulting fees. In a way, I can reach many hundreds and thousands more people outside of an institution than I could physically visiting high schools in my previous role.

My revenues more than allow me to explore the world. In the early days, I could adjust my runway by simply traveling slow and staying longer in less costly places. I don't make enough money right now to live a conventional life in an American city, but I can live comfortably elsewhere. I charge a lot less than my competitors while, I believe, providing a higher quality service. I am currently transitioning into products.

> Your specific concern was about socioeconomic status

I never said that. Maybe you are attributing the original poster's statements to me?

Quite the contrary, my concern is the knee jerk conclusions people draw from these studies, and the perceived value of these studies by society.

How many of studies like these actually end up advancing science in a meaningful way? If down the road, this study led to the understanding of some mechanism that causes dementia, that could then be used to develop a treatment, I'd be all for it.

But mostly, crap like this seems to be just crap. I'm not saying it's not valuable at all, but the importance is vastly overstated. Rather than working on hard problems, researchers do this because it's easy and it gets them publicity.

The public then just eats it up, including on HN, without critical thinking. It just is so masturbatory and delusional for us as a society to waste time with this shit.

I never used Facebook until I ended up as secretary of a sports club. It adds a lot of value for messages such as, "Could someone who regularly drives past the bottle shop please pick up a carton of beer and drop it off next time they come to the club rooms?" If you post that on Facebook, people read it a lot sooner than if it's on some group-specific message board. Then, whoever offers to do it gets to have the whole club see them volunteer.

If you're trying to organise a community instead of just making money from its economy, then a semi-public space like Usenet or Facebook turns out to be really useful.

The point is that people on Medicaid don't really have health insurance. They have a line of credit with the government. They are accumulating debt. In most -not all- states the law requires the state to collect on the debt. Again, by law. They can and do place liens on your property, etc.

This is very, very far removed from the idea of health insurance. Your property becomes the property of the government. With real health insurance nobody places a lien on your home for medical services rendered.

While it's a no-brainer that the US should adopt metric, that map isn't the reason. The same argument could have been made against adopting metric when it was first invented.

The reason that it should be adopted is simply because it's a far simpler system to use and understand. Units of measurement have simple relationships with other units, and there are standard prefixes.

I actually find it quite sad. Not being able to think about these things in a simple way makes learning much much harder for children, and even for adults there is no way someone using imperial measurements can perform operations anywhere near as quickly or easily as someone using metric. This is especially true of unit conversions. Not using metric makes you ostensibly dumber.

For many of us outside the US, the continued use of imperial measurements is thought of as akin to eschewing cars in favour of horse drawn carriages. For those in the US, how it is viewed from the inside?

I wonder how much this reason alone is responsible for comparatively poor results of the US in science education. It's obviously far from the whole reason, but I can't help but think that young kids would be turned off learning all of these esoteric and arbitrary rules.
Mostly I can't but sometime difference is huge that anyone can appreciate. For example, once I got this Georgian wine which I thought was absolutely the best wine I ever tasted:

https://www.vivino.com/wineries/dugladze/wines/lazi-gpyzihck...

I had given to many people who were mostly casual people and all of them were blown away by amazing play that this wine put out in their mouths. How much was it? Just under $10 for a bottle (after converting from rubbles)! I have wines that were twice that cost for a small glass which didn't even came close. Unfortunately this wine is practically unknown because for some reason Gergeon wines have no presence in US. If anyone knows where to get Georgian wines, I'm all ears :).

Well, it's been almost ten years since I read Russel, and while I liked him at the time, I've done a lot of primary-source reading and I now agree that any reputation he might have for bias is very well deserved. Russell is absolutely a creature of the Western analytic tradition, seems almost incapable of taking anything else seriously, and engages in ad hominem (e.g, his section on Nietzsche) when he doesn't have anything to offer.

Reading Russell can easily give you a mistaken view of the thoughts of other philosophers, especially the more they diverge from Russell's opinions, which are by no means the indisputably correct ones.

Really, I think the OP should avoid reading the history of philosophy specifically, and focus just on general history. I'd recommend reading the classics, and always try to find the most complete works that are the most contemporary - read Herodotus, read Thucydides, read Tacitus, read Caesar, read Plutarch, read Carlyle, etc. You get a hugely different experience reading how people at the time thought and acted from their own perspective, or as close as you can get to it - at least from the perspective of someone who isn't a 20th or 21st century American with the associated values.
This makes no sense. Natural monopolies arise when there are extremely high fixed costs of distribution, like Utilities, Railways, things that are difficult to build. That is not what social media is at all, and there is absolutely nothing guaranteeing that what those Princeton researches predicted will not become true, precisely because software on servers is so easy to replicate, and distribution is inherently word of mouth. Facebook had to purchase Instagram because they couldn't figure out that type of social media. They may not be able to do that for the next Instagram. Facebook has started to suck hard because they inherently live based upon outrage and fake news. If they can't figure out ways to constantly reverse various trends that come up over time, they could get caught in a crap information spiral and fail.

I've also been off for quite some time now (I "deleted" my account 3 years ago). I know none of the information gets removed so I logged back on early last year to grab some old pictures for a wedding slideshow.

I'd say it's less like the plague and more like gangrene.
Here are my 2 cents:

1. Don't use a boilerplate. Not even create-react-app. Learn webpack and npm and TS / Babel. It's not that hard.

3. Even though the React community seems to favor ES6, at least give Typescript a serious try.
