I know a lot of car guys lament that it's harder to work on a car today, but your average consumer is delighted by this.

Right. I restore antique Teletype machines from the 1930s and 1940s as a hobby. Those are totally maintainable. Everything is attached with screws and locknuts, and you can remove and replace any part. There's a 200 page manual of adjustments. They require annual oiling with over 500 oiling points. Most take one drop of oil, but there are several oil fill points. In heavy use, there's an annual cleaning, which involves partial disassembly and a soak in a cleaning bath in a repair shop. I've restored five of these machines to full operation. Some are almost a century old.

(Plug: some of those machines will be at the Clockwork Alchemy Steampunk Convention, at the Doubletree Hotel in San Jose CA, tomorrow through Sunday.)

Imagine trying to sell a printer today that required regular oiling. That would not be acceptable, even if it increased the life of the printer by a factor of 5.

Teletype Corporation recognized this with the Teletype Model 33, the yellow plastic thing that powered 1970s minicomputers. Those were rated for one year of continuous operation un-oiled, three years if regularly oiled. Few people oiled them. They wore out much faster than the older heavy-duty machines. Today, it's easier to restore a Model 15 Teletype from 1930 than a Model 33 from 1970. The 33 will have worn out parts, some plastic. The Model 15 won't; it's all hardened steel and cast iron.

There are heavy trucks built that way, but cars? No.
As someone who trends towards heavily accommodating, I often seem to find my actions that I judge as selfish or arrogant are the ones that I get respect for. Definitely a phenomena I don't understand, but its real so it should be very valuable to learn where to draw the line.
Well, everyone is welcome to their own opinion.

This was attempted back in the late 80s/early 90s with RPC (from Sun) and CORBA (not sure who is responsible for that monstrosity).

As an aside, as trivia ...

It may interest HN readers to learn (it interested me) that if you are standing near downed power lines (for instance, your car crashed into a pole and it fell, or a storm, whatever) you need to jump away from those downed power lines.

You need to stay in one fixed place and then jump, up in the air, to the next place, and continue to "bunny hop" away from the downed power lines.

The reason is, depending on the amount of moisture in the earth, or cracks in the asphalt, or dirt, or water or whatever, it is possible for there to be a spot where there is more resistance in the ground between your two feet than there is in your two legs and so (if you are walking) the electricity will arc out of the ground, up one leg and then down the other.
It must really suck, and when I work on small(but large) personal projects I feel bad that someone might not be able to use it. What are some good resources to start thinking accessibility first? I remember in the past it was .. a project and a half in and of itself.

Ok. But you are still trusting that the concerned vaccines has been tested well by benevolent agents, and produced with 100% concern for the consumers/kids, right? Or you would not be so accepting of the same. Is that correct?

I was asking about this trust. Where does it come from. And how can it exist among people when the same people believe that "Corporate entities have an obligation to do whatever they can legally get away with in order to maximize profits..."

>Wouldn't no vaccines be the most profitable for medical companies since many more people would then require constant treatment?

Well. Think about it. You are a company producing 10 drugs that people get occasionally. Some of them have some kind of outbreak rarely. How will you mange production of these 10 drugs, when you have no idea of what the demand is going to be.

Contrast it with vaccines. That have a constantly growing (possibly at a known rate) demand. Also, it seems that companies are sheielded from vaccine related injuries [1]. So what would you prefer?

Just a thought.

>The VICP was created by the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act. The Act is designed to shield pharmaceutical companies from lawsuits in exchange for their continued efforts to make the vaccinations we need. So, because injured patients can't sue the drug companies, the VICP was created to pay them money damages.
Yeah. If two people ask for things that are mutually exclusive, there's a huge problem if you can't say no to one of them. If there's no concept of "no", then "yes" becomes much less meaningful.

In social dance contexts, I'm usually happy when people decline to dance with me. It's dead obvious when someone isn't enthusiastic about the dance, and much less fun than getting shot down. Similarly in business contexts - an unreliable "yes" is worse than a "no", because you can get burned relying on the "yes" you did get rather than trying elsewhere after the "no".

The idea in the article was that the competition was "imaginary" as in the salesman across the street didn't bother to try to do everything for everyone correct? Maybe the lesson is more about ignoring what others might be doing and focusing on what you need to do for success yourself. EDIT: mistake was as suggested below.

You're absolutely right, but that's not what I was responding to.

Incidentally, that's one very solid reason to raise VC: the ability to attract and retain experienced team members that already have many options.
One thing I was wondering about that I haven't found much about with various googling around - I get the idea that many climbers use supplemental Oxygen above 8km or so. Are they using Oxygen all the time, even when sleeping, or only when doing strenuous activities? And how long do those bottles last anyways if you're using it all the time? I guess nobody's carrying SCUBA-tank sized tanks around, but will a couple of bottles the size of a 2L bottle last multiple days of continuous use?
This reminds me a lot of the posts by burnt out open source project maintainers, like the one about turning off github issues that was on the front page just recently, or one from a while ago about ignoring most github notifications and marking old repos as unmaintained.
For this specific example you don't have access to the list index in the constructor.

In general binding like that in the constructor works only if you depend on props, but at that point, there isn't a need to bind at all since you can just reference the prop in the callback.

This is disappointing.
I agree, I don't think it has to be an either-or type of thing. I started out being too accommodating but have gradually learned to say no more and more. Sometimes it surprises people who are used to you being overly accommodating, but if you have enough self-respect and respect your own time the surprise usually doesn't last and typically results in . Someone who is too used to you being accommodating might escalate the situation and try to challenge you but that hasn't happened to me.

My new formula is to be accommodating when it doesn't negatively affect me and if it does, make it clear that some request will be effort and I'll have to consider whether I can accommodate it (which assumes of course that it isn't an official duty). Its not about trying to force people to respect me, if I respect myself enough (for valid reasons, this doesn't excuse baseless bravado or anything) it doesn't really matter, I won't allow myself to be taken advantage of and generally that means the same thing. In a relationship (new or old) it can be as simple as when asked to do something that isn't something you would be expected to do just asking more questions about the thing. When exactly is it? How long is it going to take? You aren't being a dick by trying to factor some request into your own time, you have other things you want or need to do and 99% of the time people will respect that. Just following a request up with questions about the specifics of the request shows more self-respect that immediately being like "sure I can do that, when is it and where?", which says that you'll work around their request rather than the other way around.

I've even applied this to how I drive - I used to be much more concerned with people who were in a Great Hurry in the left lane, I would find a spot to get into the right lane even if I had to slow down to do so (usually getting me stuck behind someone who then somehow seems to be going 10mph slower than I even realized). I did this partly out of politeness and knowing how frustrating it can be to be stuck behind people, but a fair percentage of the time the person in a hurry is going 20mph+ over the speed limit and I'm probably already going 10-15 and I am passing people on the right at a fair clip and chances are there isn't even much space ahead to take up. I used to be stressed by these situations when I was less secure but now I'm not going to put myself out and dodge in and out of traffic for someone who is driving unreasonably and it doesn't stress me out to have someone raging behind me because chances are that person is going to be raging at someone no matter what, might as well be me. I'll get over for them when its safe and convenient and let them by but not at my own expense. I know this is kind of a trivial situation but it was kind of a big realization for me when I got over being stressed out by having other people be displeased with me.
I don't quite understand. The interface is the same. I guess if the function you're binding is an external 3rd party one then you avoid proxying through a local function first. But there's no difference from the point of view of the child.

I guess my point was that it doesn't scale to multiple children (which is effectively what the question was about). And whether you want to partially apply a bound function in the constructor or just bind and then have the function pick up the extra arg itself - it's the same thing. You end up with a single function that works with a single constant.

Though, in your case if props change, the partially applied function is now incorrect. Which is why I think I'm misunderstanding you.
That article is very difficult to skim :(
To expand on what you said, since you used crashing into a pole as an example...

If you crashed your car into the pole the safest place for you to be is in the car. Unless your car catches on fire do not leave the car. If you must leave the car do not touch the car and the ground at the same time. Open your door and jump out of the car with your feet together.

Then do as rsync said: bunny hop away.
This reminds me of an incident report I saw back when I used to work in a warehouse. A forklift driver raised the boom too far, and smashed it into a high power lamp. He immediately let go of the controls, and decided to get away from the forklift, rather than lower the boom, concerned that the metal levers might electrocute him. As soon as he stepped on the ground, he completed the circuit that was preciously blocked by the rubber tires, and paralyzed himself from the waist down.

The report recommended jumping clear, and then using this hopping escape strategy. It did not recommend or countermand moving the vehicle to break a potential circuit; I guess that situation is too complicated for a blanket policy.

Not sure really. Never came up.
Yes, of course, but the problem is power: how are you going to store enough energy in the spacesuit to provide both heat and pressurized air? You'd need to be tethered to a good-size generator or something.

You'd also need a LOT more power than used for real spacesuits, because of the heating requirement. In space, you don't need much heat to stay warm, because there's no way for the heat to leave your spacesuit other than by radiation, which is horribly ineffective (and that's a good thing for keeping astronauts warm; it's not such a good thing for keeping your electronics cool though). Climbing a mountain, there's still plenty of air, even if it's thinner than what you're used to, and that means you'll have convective cooling, which is extremely effective (notice how it's used in convection ovens, where they blow a fan to improve the effectiveness of the heating). So your spacesuit will need some really serious insulation, and still will need to generate a lot of heat to replace the heat that's continually being lost to the the ambient air.

On top of that, you're not floating around in space, you're climbing a mountain, so the spacesuit needs to be very rugged. Of course, tearing it won't cause immediate doom like in a spacesuit, but it's going to make it much worse to have cold air streaming in, and losing your pressurization.

IMO, the whole idea of climbing one of these mountains seems unnecessarily risky and just plain foolhardy to me. If you want to see nature, go hike a nice mountain trail in a temperate climate, where you'll see greenery, trees, maybe wildlife, etc. There's nothing to see on Mount Everest except a lot of snow, rocks, and corpses, and there's a significant chance your corpse will be added to those. AFAICT, the main reason people do this is for pure ego, nothing else. That's why they walk right by people who are dying on the slope instead of stopping to help. Utterly disgusting.
For a while now, I've been beating the drum on HN that if you keep raising regulations on the car companies faster than they can develop technology for, we will eventually reach the point where it will be economically impossible to build a car.

This story suggests a possibility I hadn't considered yet, which is that it may already be economically impossible to build a car that complies with the law.

At this point, while you are welcome to castigate the automakers for cheating, one must also consider that the authors of the regulation may bear some responsibility here too.

And I do mean both bear some responsibility; the cheating of the car companies has prevented the feedback from getting to the regulators that they've created an impossible situation. But they may still have created an impossible solution, and it may mean that people just going "Well just comply with the regulations then!" are proposing a non-solution to the problem without realizing it.

It is also worth pointing out that three years ago the idea that regulations were already impossible to comply with would have been met with hoots of derision, and probably someone is going to reply to me to dismiss it even now. We're asking auto companies here to forfeit billions of dollars, but the regulators themselves have no risk if they are creating an impossible situation.

Just because someone wrote a regulation somewhere doesn't mean it's good, or possible, or economical.
I always wondered why companies don't try to catch each other cheating. If would seem that if Ford wanted to, they could easily figure out VW was cheating, and go to the press and government with that info.

You want to compromise on the stuff that other people find important and hold fast on the stuff that you find important. Goes for both relationships, friends, teammates, and business associates.

Most people come into the world assuming that their desires are everybody's desires. We live life by the Golden Rule: "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you." This obscures that there's often a wide variety in the things we would like others to do unto us, and that assuming everybody wants what you wants often leads us to do exactly what they don't want.

It was a revelation when my therapist told me "You need to show love in the ways that other people want to receive it, not the way you want to send it." It hadn't really occurred to me before then that things I considered really inconsequential - checking if she got home okay, or leaving the porch light on for her at night - might really matter to my girlfriend (now wife), or that things that I considered really important - like listening to my latest theory on reality, or showing enthusiasm when I show her my latest product demo - might be considered inconsequential by her.

Many people have this intuitive idea that service & favors are a zero-sum game, but in actuality, some actions cost you a lot less than the recipient benefits from them, and some cost you a lot more than the recipient cares. It makes a lot of sense to perform favors that are cheap for you but benefit the recipient a lot. It's on you to figure out how much the recipient cares and how much time & energy you can spare for them.
I know the author is Spanish; I'd like to point out Orange Spain has been deploying IPv6 addresses to end customers these last weeks using the Dual Stack lite transition system.

All the big ISPs have been testing IPv6 for years now and I'm sure it's just a matter of flipping a switch. Now that a new contender is in town (a 4th ISP) and they're having huge problems because they have no IP addresses left to assign to their customers, I suppose the rest of ISPs will stall even more their transition to IPv6 so they can try and "suffocate" the new ISP.

Just my two cents...
That presentation is awesome, thanks!

Volatility is not as important when you have real-time exchanges. You can choose to instantly convert any currency to any other currency of your choice - you can choose your volatility tolerance .

Had a "run-in" with lightning a few years ago: while walking to the grocery store with an umbrella, heard what sounded like an explosion (my ears rang for the rest of that day) and was nearly blinded by the bright light, but managed to see a big spark between my thumb and the metal part of the umbrella, and feel a slight jolt of electricity. So, in all probability, the lightning hit a nearby house, and via the lightning rod it all went into the ground and through me (partially)?

No burns, no real damage done to me or the umbrella, but I was really shook up.
I was struck by lighting in Italy 2.5 years ago. Happy to answer any questions. For background: We were observing and photographing a lightning storm from the upper slopes of Mt Etna in Italy. We were pulled off from the side of the road with several other cars around. Blue sky and no wind - the storm was still far away. There were families with kids and it was a breathtaking scene. I had my 7d mark i on bulb setting to capture the distant lightening, with only my right index finger on the shutter release. I don't remember much more than waking up, paralyzed down the right side of my body. I had an, at the time terrifying but also beautiful fractal burn mark down the right side of my chest. 12h of emergency services followed. The other person struck that day was in the morgue. It turned out to have been the biggest storm in 50 years. I got very lucky and have no side effects to date.

Agassiz refers to "Louis Agassiz" a creationist scientific racist that believed the races had been created by God in separate events. Not the best example to use.

Edit: He believed this in the late 1800 and the author of the submitted article apparently considered him a "great scientist" as late as 1922.

The API maps and google.com/maps are different products. Maybe they reuse some code but they do not have the same features. On google.com/maps if you search for a teritory (like a country) you will get a red border arround that teritory. On API maps developers asked for this feature for years and it is still not available.
I was curious what the alternatives to the absurd idea of Everest, with its army of sherpas where you end up a rich tourist in a relatively poor region (apart from the obvious: to apply for a job as a sherpa) - and found this article that seems like a decent starting point (not so much the commercial packages mentioned, bit the brief overview of locations):
