Welcome to the failures of Google search engine. Google is great but not so great when you try to make the search a bit smarter.

I am about to "work" in the industry I have a Blender plugin and Unreal editor plugin in the works , none of the use a VPL by the way because simply what I am trying to do is too technical for VPLs that target users and not coders. But of course I will be offering VPL support because users love VPLs.

I never said Blueprints are the default in Unreal , C++ is still king. However if you want proof , you can take a visit at the official Youtube channel of Unreal by Epic and see for yourself the rise of Blueprints. Most tutorials nowdays for making games with Unreal target Blueprints.
It is free, for the student. If I had to pay for college I couldn't afford it. That doesn't mean I am not willing to invest in myself.
The article doesn't really touch on it, but this seems to be related to the "altcoin" boom of the past month or so, most of which are GPU mineable. The rise in Bitcoin prices seems to have made altcoins rise in price in lockstep, for reasons I don't quite understand. Many have even increased in value 10-20x in a matter of a couple months. There are even 8 cryptocoin "unicorns" now, according to https://coinmarketcap.com/.

If you are thinking about gambling in crypto-speculation, my advice would be: dont do it with any money you cant afford to lose. There are way too many stories of people losing substantial portions of their life savings buying in at the top of these market booms.
That's a dangerous slippery slope you're descending. You may at some point end up on the receiving end.
The thing is the railway line which is baseline to enable the development of the Galilee Basin was never really about Adani. There are other miners to gain from it who have poured a lot of money into the election of certain members of Parliament.

Quid pro quo.
Zcash also relies on a trusted setup: a master private key was used to initiate it, and that you have to trust the key was destroyed. If someone had a copy of that key, they could create infinite coins without detection.

People have to decide whether they want to trust that a copy of the key wasn't made, or if they want to use a trustless setup.

Monero doesn't require trust, and it's also private by default.
It is free for the student just as it's free for you to drive your car on the public roads to work.
People have stopped rolling their eyes at the "beardy communist". At least one favourability poll now shows Corbyn being seen more favourable than May, and he's closing the gap rapidly in every one of them. At the same time Labour is closing the gap as well (with one poll showing Labour down to 1% behind). Whether it will close it enough by polling day is the big question, but what seems clear is that the Tories relentless personal attacks on Corbyn no longer work very well.
Good for him. He could've been still developing VR if the left didn't do everything in their power to ostracize him for the crime of supporting the winning presidential candidate.
in 3d and Audio the data is anything BUT constant. You will have to be more specific than that because I do not understand what you mean. Anything can be turned off and on.
Idealistic, maybe, but not idiotic. I think reasons for thinking that "working on border security is bad" include:

1) The desire for a "free and open" world, especially without much first-hand experience of the immediate downsides of that.

2) That technologies in this space also directly enable police-state situations, and there are reasons to believe that this is a risk in the future.

3) A privacy-driven dislike for surveillance -- sure, you know who I am when I go through passport control, but I don't want to be tracked in more detail than that.

4) Our existing border security is reasonably functional, and there are better ways to spend the time & money. (Especially as pertains the arguably excessive "border wall".)

Godel, Escher, Bach covers this in great detail. Symbols are a weird idea in the human brain, and there are multiple pseudo languages throughout the book that when you really sit down and think about it, aren't any less ridiculous than the notation we use for mathematics outside of that book.

My idea-book (is that a crazy person thing?) is probably a lot like what you're talking about. I use words for my main data, different arrows going in between each sub-idea, and then sometimes more words attached to each arrow ("pub/subs", "queries", "happens once/happens always", etc)

I think that people who think visual programming could be a thing ought to sit down with APL for a few weekends, until they have the epiphany of "oh, the code is the same as the notation for what I'm actually doing" and suddenly they realize that notation and code are interlinked, and each are basically useless without the other, in the same sort of way that x--p--p---- is exactly as valid as 2 + 2 = 4, without context.

I get the allure of NOT having to write code, but it shouldn't be so difficult for people to realize that it's a ridiculous fantasy.

Write fibonacci(N) in ANY visual language, and tell me you couldn't have done it easier, faster, and more coherently in python or whatever. It's obvious.

Actually I think that prediction is now inaccurate, as they in your link "Macro use and rexport" say that they want to postpone the macro changes until Macros 2.0 are ready as a whole.
This is about border cameras, sure, just as much as border patrol is about borders. It's not uncommon for border patrol to set up checkpoints two or three hundred miles from the border just to shake down people for identification (Papers, please!).

Today's border cameras are liable to be deployed all over in the future. Watch what you build because it's very hard to un-build things.

It breaks HN's civility rule to insinuate that another user is astroturfing or shilling, unless you have evidence. Someone merely disagreeing with you doesn't come close to evidence.

HN is an international forum. People here have a lot of differing views and perspectives. Please remain civil from now on.

Working on border security because you want to keep armed groups out is perfectly reasonable and admirable, working on border security because you want to keep poor and terrified people fleeing armed groups out is pretty detestable. Unfortunately, I don't believe the current U.S. administration makes that distinction (and it is very arguable whether the U.S. military abroad, or even the U.N. peace-keepers do, but that's another story).

When the institutional reaction to a reporter fleeing death threats from agents of his government, by voluntarily surrendering at your border and asking for asylum, is to lock him up, then I can see reasons to criticize those working to empower said institutions (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2017/04/07...).

> Why is terror more terrible than unexpected death by other means?

You haven't given this much thought have you. Describing mass murder as an "unexpected death" is not smart.

First of all, your overdose and traffic deaths are *accidents", there was no intent to murder involved. This means we work to minimise the likelihood of such deaths via preventative measures from education, health and legal through to building safer roads and vehicles.

Mass murder on the other hand is no accident and is less manageable. Murder affects the community more due to the nature of the crime. The callous intent leading up to the crime, the actual violence and consequences after.

When people ask "how can we prevent this", and the answers don't come as easily as preventing drunk driving, then obviously the problem is worse. Combined with brainwashed religious extremist ideology, you have yourself a more terrible problem than what road safety measures can ever hope to deal with.
why not educating people instead of banning ?
The article calls the 5120 an ugly beast, but i find it kinda cute.

Yes, and the fact that we use the term "Hitler" and "Nazi" with little to no discretion. The terms are virtually meaningless now. So many people in my social circle used these words to describe Luckey, yet I do not see Luckey participating in genocide.
>"For all we know, Dijkstra might have hated Python."

Dijkstra died in 2002, which was after Python was released. There may be some comments from him out there about the language, though I can't be bothered to look them up, I don't find Dijkstra to be particularly insightful.

I consider UI mockups the perfect usage for visual programming environments. Obviously a visual product compliments a visual development interface. However, it's a very narrow realm compared to the rest of the programming universe.

It's the same as saying that drawing a picture is easier for most people than programming a picture, and it doesn't really have to do with the topic of visual programming, but rather visual design.
I would tend to agree with you on the distrust of politicians; however I believe that it is important to distinguish between taxes primarily meant to raise money and taxes primarily meant to cause a change in behavior.

What I am trying to get at is: the income tax, for example, exists so that governments can finance their operations. A heavy tax on cigarettes, on the other hand, is meant to change the population's behavior - to push smokers to quit. The extra revenue is useful but not the main point of the legislation. The goal is to reduce the number of smokers.

Such as it would be with a carbon tax. As someone thoroughly concerned with the state of our habitat, I would be thrilled to see a carbon tax here in the US - even if the politicians took the extra money raised by the tax and burned it. The point of a carbon tax is to reduce carbon emissions; raised monies are a secondary benefit.
There are actually more problems, but I didn't want to go off topic. Like about how the developers get paid a certain percentage. Someone made the calculations to be about $3m a year for all the developers combined each year. I know that they deserve to get compensated, but that goes completely off what cryptocurrencies stand for.

Like the whole thing seems to be riding on the concept of zk-SNARKS, but the fact of the matter is, there is already Monero which offers the privacy aspect that zcoin advertises (but fails to deliver on that too)
It sounds about right. The world is full of parasites...
I didn't say it was flagkilled.
If you actually look closely at life on Earth, you'll notice that historically it's been pretty damn ugly for everyone involved. Now, with modern technology, medicine, and more stable, peaceful social structures, it's alright for a fair minority of humans. We still have some refinements to make but a "natural life" is horrible and I want no part of it. Nature's only beautiful when viewed from a safe vantage point, a long way away.
Thanks for this incredible insight.
Other blog entries suffer the same thing, for example https://sakurity.com/blog/2017/04/24/owasp.html
Feels like it needs some selection from shelf & list right on the recommendation page. People are generally lazy and digging through two lists to recommend just one sounds like a lot of work. On the other hand, glancing at random 5 (N) and trying to suggest something similar from your list feels much easier.

You can then share on socials something like "Could you please recommend me something like `title 1`, `title 2`, `...`", so that people know if they can help right after reading your ask. imho.
It sounds pretty stupid, self-defeating and is conflating two different things, bug reports and support.

Bug reports should be all that goes on Github, for people telling you that your code is broken you should be paying them, they're doing you a favour.

For support, that should stay off Github and be a user generated forum, If you build a community there it'll take care of itself leaving you to just deal with the code.

If you need money you could always offer priority support for those who donate or contribute in some other way.
The farther I know is Sarita TX and one along I-10 some where in AZ (been through both), they are not two hundred miles inside, even though Sarita TX is about 80 miles from border. Would really appreciate if you can point one check post that is 200 miles inland from border?

What is a solution you could get behind then?

I would love to be proven a fool, but where you see an eagerness to tax I see a lack of free market solutions for tragedies of the commons such as the atmosphere.

Thiel is also at facebook and was a vocal supporter of Trump. Zuckerberg shut down the talk of getting rid of him. So why do you think Luckey was ousted just because of his Trump support?
> I will never vote yes on any tax increase, as I don't trust our politicians enough to see them utilizing the extra tax revenue wisely e.g., R&D for renewable energy etc... Climate change is real, but we can't tax our way to a solution.

Because the is the most cost effective and simplest solution. It has a proven track record with the Montreal protocol: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreal_Protocol

I'm certainly not wedded to the idea, but there doesn't seem to be any other viable options on the table.

China gets smarter on artificial intelligence
Thank you for that!

In that context, I could maybe see an argument based on chaos theory. i.e. systems being essentially infinitely large compared to their component parts. There could be macro-states that are indistinguishable at micro-scale given any computational ability.

But then...you would have to be arguing against the ability to experiment. One way to compute macro-states of a system would be to duplicate that system.

Without getting much further into it...I see this becoming a serious rabbit hole in no time.
Except that there has been a lot of research.

The first visual programming language I can find is from 1966. They have always been tiny, niche things over a period where we've had waves of text-based languages rise and fall.

One of the striking things for me when I talk with visual programming enthusiasts is that they very rarely have looked at the decades of research. And if you try to talk with them about the history, they seem actively averse.

There's a joke that some people have ten years of experience, and some people just have one year of experience ten times over. My experience has been that visual programming is more like the latter, but for 50 years.
This article neglects the fact that people don't get money to gamble.

Also amusing is to observe the HN/SV attitude towards skilled immigration vs otherwise.

When President Trump issued an Executive Order banning immigrants from seven countries, over 100 tech companies showed up at the courts opposing the move. But support for skilled immigration - i.e. immigrants working at these tech companies - is scant. For instance, so far only Microsoft [2] has come forward to support legislation fixing systemic discrimination against skilled immigrants from the most populous countries.

Sure, the firms are free to choose the causes they support. But it sounds hollow when they are blind to plight of their own employees who they come across every day, but are able to manufacture anguish for others they often have very little contact.

People can speak.

And I can choose not to listen to them, or to disagree with them, or to speak out against them, or to refuse to associate with them, or to refuse to support their causes, or all of the above.

The problem you seem to have is confusing "I disagree with, and thus refuse to associate with or support, and will speak out against, this person's views" for "This person is oppressed".

In a marketplace of ideas, some people are not going to be winners.

You don't really need to raise taxes, just shift them around, so you take some tax away from income and move it to carbon for instance.

The difficulty is you need to do this in a coordinated way otherwise you just end up shifting your carbon intensive industries overseas. This is why reaching a global agreement is so important.

The R&D thing is a red herring, business will respond to the economic situation it finds itself in.
We already have electronic money - I can pay using electronic euros just fine. The point of creating Bitcoin was to make something different, a digital currency that couldn't be managed. What would be the point of creating a copy of existing currencies?

I'm completely ignorant about the future of Bitcoin, but the reason I like it is because it's an experiment. If nothing else, at least it might serve as evidence for mainstream theories if and when it fails.

In any case, it's not strictly true that Bitcoin's supply is fixed, you can have fractional-reserve banking.
That's how it should be used anyway, I don't think anyone has ever suggested using Flexbox in isolation from other CSS methods such as percentage width.

For example sometimes you may want a 2-column layout only - so the items within the flexbox container only ever wrap once. Defining percentage width of those items, say 48% to allow for middle margin, is the only way I know to achieve this.

I've started using Flexbox after waiting a LONG time for it to become safely adopted. It's one of best things to happen to frontend dev in a long time. No excuses now not to make your own responsive template.

We still use a range of old technologies where I work because it's where our resources are invested. We're steadily rescooling people, but that takes time, and even when every one is up to speed it'll probably still be 6 months before they are able to deliver the same quality at the same speed.

We also have around 350 different (minor to major) systems running, which won't be upgraded in a foreseeable future.

Using old technology is a consequence of reality, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea. It's very dangerous to get complacent, and I think especially so, with something so replaceable as Angular 1.
