Humans want to win, so losing every time wasn't fun.

This needs to be a bit more qualified.

I personally love games where the skill gap is SO HUGE it seems impossible to win at first. I get my ass kicked for months and years before becoming any good. Go, Quake, Elastomania... Losing doesn't trouble me at all.

On the other hand, "reasonable" games where advancement is assured, the skill curve mostly flat (I can beat top players with a bit of luck or the right items / grind / setup), hold no appeal to me whatsoever. Diablo & co.
The optimum lies all along that spectrum I think. So combined global/centralized, localized/coordinated and individual/decentralized preparedness would give you the highest level of resilience. Defense in depth, if you will. It's also the highest effort/cost, of course.

I was thinking when the parent poster hinted at that - You see that broad-spectrum approach advocated and implemented by disaster preparedness agencies - A central coordination capability coupled with regional direct response capabilities, and strong appeals from them to citizens for individual/family-level preparedness.
You seem confused as to what a server is.

If a program runs in a separate process and provides data/processing to other connected programs through some standard protocols, they are a server.
It doesn't mean you can't buy indexes or other diversified assets but rather that you should stick with what you choose and not try to time the market.
> That, and nominal typing can be really convenient (coming to TS soon, hopefully).

I think you meant structural typing? TS was always nominally typed. I searched for a bit and it looks like TS also supports structural typing with explicit interfaces, and I think Flow tries to infer such types? I don't use either one, so I'm not sure about the details.

I didn't have these books growing up, but they've been a treasure to read to my kiddos. When a kid picks a book for storytime, there are some that I inwardly roll my eyes at, and there are others that are a joy. These books fall in the latter category.

People without kids, are you looking to give a book to folks with a new arrival? A Boynton board book is always a good choice.

It was fun to read this article and get to know the author a little better.

Thank you Sandra!
He argues that America has more science than anywhere else, but is more religious than comparable first world countries.

That seems like an argument to me.

You could counter that America was filled early on with particularly zealous types, and that it's a big enough country that the science and the religion could find their own areas to bloom separately, but that may actually be supporting his argument.
What I would say is that while gov has a role to protect people's physical safety, what else do you believe is a legitimate role in protecting people from? Is it government's responsibility to care for your emotions? Do you think gov should cover our ears from mean words? Burn books that say things that you disagree with? Who decides what is disagreeable? Me? You? Trump? Eric Schmidt?

In a way, speech is already a very effective democratic institution. The more decentralized and the more participants, the more democratic. But if this voice is transferred from the people to the gov, the more power is handed from the people to the elites, and most likely the faster we will devolve into authoritarianism.
Strongly agree that the sync-based approach to schema migrations is much better.

I presented on this exact topic last week at PostgresOpen 2017, and have written a schema diff tool for Postgres that supports this approach (https://github.com/djrobstep/migra).

Show me how one multiplies fishes.

There are 2 differents questions when it comes to religion.

One is philosophical : "Does a moral god exist?"

The other is historical: "Who wrote the bible or the coran the torah and co, and do these prophets who claim they have seen or talked to the divine told the truth?"

These are 2 separated questions. Science obviously can't answer the first one, it's purely philosophical, but science can absolutely answer the second one.

Finally, a last question. Does following a religion means believing in "god" or believing in the vision of god from another man?

edit: I'm focusing on what I know, AKA Abrahamic religions, and I'm not talking about the morality of religious texts nor whatever wisdom they contain. So don't take my comment as a personal attack against your faith.

The whole "Spring is really JEE" retort is even more pedantic than the folks who insist on referring to "Linux" as "GNU/Linux".

These days it's more fair to say that Spring "supports optional integration" with JEE API's. You can run modern Spring web/REST apps without a Servlet container. Spring doesn't care whether your ORM implements the JPA interfaces or not. Etc, etc... it's all slowly phasing out.

> bucket_size = 4 / 3

I have an off-by-one error… your random function has a range of 5, so it should be max - min + 1:

bucket_size = 5 / 3

then

0 / (5/3) = 0
1 / (5/3) = 3/5 = 0
2 / (5/3) = 6/5 = 1
3 / (5/3) = 9/5 = 1
4 / (5/3) = 12/5 = 2

> So, 0s and 1s are still more likely than 2 to appear.

Yeah, I planned for 65535 randoms and 52 alphabet. It would still mildly bias to the first range mod alphabet_size elements.

That's a weird definition of "secrets". Mails may contain secrets. Pictures may contain secrets. Messenger posts may contain secrets (cf. all the leaks of chatlogs).

If I remove all apps from the homescreen that may contain secrets, that leaves me with the flashlight and Candy Crush.

> But to suggest that sexism does not play a role in gender gaps is absurd.

I have written before that I would love to see statistical data that can predict gender segregated as a factor based on the number of reported cases of sexism.

What I have seen is that the causes of segregation differ massively based on if it is male or female dominated. If it is male dominated profession, sexism is always and early included as the suggested cause. If its female dominated it is rarely included. There seems to be a strong sex difference in studies studying gender segregation, so the thing I find most interesting is the few areas where they do converge, which is:

a) Work culture, which tend to incorporate gender identity in seemingly similar way in both heavily male dominated and female dominated professions.

b) Social pressure, especially for students, by peers of the same gender and age.

What I would like to see is meta studies on gender segregation that can incorporate a large number of different professions and make a unified theory to explain why only 12.5% (data from Sweden) of the population work in a profession which is not gender segregated (defined as having less than 60% of a single gender).
On the other hand the UK was just in the news as the percentage "having no religious affiliation" just went over 50%. Its was 48% in 2015, 53% in the recent survey.

Not sure how much of that is science - we have Dawkins plugging away with his books and the like - and how much is bad press religion has had in recent times. Like the London Bridge stabbings don't exactly make you think wow isn't religion great. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_2017_London_Bridge_attack)

Atheists like Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins actually undermine one of the classic arguments against religion, as they and their followers have demonstrated repeatedly that the racism, sexism, xenophobia, hypocrisy, believing and repeating obvious lies, pseudoscience, favoring hierarchies with some people clearly marked as inferior, covering up for sexual assault and predation, wars etc. etc. that many would have previously associated with organised religion can bloom in atheist circles too.

I thought that might account for the low numbers of people identifying themselves as "Atheist" with a capital A, but on following the link it seems it's hard to get a straight answer on that for multiple reasons e.g.

"8% of those who call themselves atheists also say they believe in God or a universal spirit. Indeed, 2% say they are “absolutely certain” about the existence of God or a universal spirit."
Historians often talk about waves of religiousity in the US. The puritans were just want strand of colonists, just the one America loves to enphasized the most. Jamestown was more economic than religious.

Thank you for that comment. I've been taught that Northern Europe was depressed by the weight of the ice sheets during the Ice Age and is still rebounding now that the ice sheets have gone and the weight is off.

I was imagining this as like compressing a sponge and never quite believed that re-expanding would take thousands of years.

But an enormous raft of granite, floating on an extremely viscous sea of even denser hot rock? At least I can see clearly that I have no useful intuitions about this. Does the raft bob up and down on a ten thousand year time scale? (Probably too heavily damped to oscillate) But the raft metaphor implies some lateral flow of the "sea" as the raft rises, so that is something to think about.
The author drops it looks like the real correlation is the social safety net + decent prosperity? Yet another reason to support having one.

The blog about Stackoverflow report on languages? No mention of Ruby.

VSCode - Ruby isn't priority.

Basically any tools / sites that aims at multiple programming languages no longer mention or support Ruby by default. Ruby has become a niche, and now even Github, seems not to support Ruby at all.

I am worried, all these WebPack 4, Rails 6, Ruby 3x3, TruffleRuby, are all too little too late. The ecosystem is shrinking, and they are reacting to it too late.

There were several links posted on HN a few weeks ago. I didn't notice any that were inflammatory, but all were "flagged" and taken down regardless.

In most cultural matters, this community tilts quite progressive. However, "Codes of Conduct" are an exception case, in which the community's libertarian streak clearly dominates. I do not believe that the moderators approve of that deviation. It would not surprise me if this entire thread were likewise flagged and removed if this subject draws too much conversation.
There's always room for improvement, like making blacklists shareable, AdblockPlus does this with their filter lists, afaik Twitter has, or at least used to have, a feature like that.

Even simple measures, like preventing multiple accounts being registered to the same email address, can already greatly cut down on the trolling potential of most garden variety trolls.

Nothing about this "problem" is new except for the perceived scale due to Internet-access having become widely available and more people being exposed to Internet culture, but the problem itself is pretty much as old as human interaction in general: How to deal with people whose views seem to be utterly incompatible, even offensive, to mine?

Germany has been down this road for quite a bit longer, the only result so far: Comment culture is dying out, in many places it doesn't even grow in the first place anymore because there's isn't even the chance for it, as more and more site operators decide not to implement comment options at all because it puts them in muddy waters, legally speaking.

Censorship is never an option, even less so when it's outsourced to some unaccountable entity, even worse when it's some machine learning algorithm where nobody understands how it actually works but people rather like the outputs they got from their inputs, it's basically a censorship blackbox.

Honestly, I don't see the need for any of this and it's quite scary how this kind of authoritarianism has become so popular in past years. We used to look at China as a negative example, something we would never want to emulate, this has changed and now increasingly politicians are openly voicing their opinion that a system like China's might actually be "good".

Maybe it's just me having gotten a thick skin for this kind of stuff, after 20 years on the net, but I neither see the need for any of this nor the "good" this is supposed to do, all I see is lot's of potential for making the Internet a worse place for open discussion, especially across ideological lines. All I see is yet another move towards more echo-chambers and less diversity of opinions. Which is important regardless how shitty some of those opinions might be, they can always serve as a bad and educational example, censoring them out of sight like they don't even exist, does none of that.

Religion is not about the nature of the physical universe, even if a few of its proponents think it extends to that realm. Religion is an aspect of culture concerned with coping with existential dread - our knowledge of the mortality of ourselves and everyone we care about - which is not something that science can help with. There is no point in either party trying to shut down the other.
TS is structurally typed. You declare the fields you expect on a type or interface, and as long as an object has at least those fields, it will typecheck. Nominal typing would mean that you could declare type A and type B with identical fields, but if something is declared as A, it cannot be used in place of B.

TS has a strange workaround to get nominal typing for now:

I disagree that just because the phone is more expensive than the ipod it is not cannibalization. The phone literally destroyed the market for the standalone MP3 player, and the price point was doesn't change this.

If you listen to the Jobs official autobiography the iPhone resulted from Jobs / Apples concerns that the phone would become good enough for most people as an MP3 player, and thus would 'cannibalize' the iPod product, and that Job/Apple decided all the phones out at the time sucked and that they could do it better.
