But you are missing my main point: what are all these frameworks for?

I bet if you asked any front-end developer what the main benefit of their chosen framework is, they will say something like code organization or file structure.

It used to be that you needed a framework to abstract away all the browser incompatibilities. But that was in 2009 -- look up any given W3 standard on CanIUse these days and you will find support across all major browsers.

What if we could just get by without a framework? And just organize our own code? Is that so far-fetched?
Information is the real resource.
Wow, that is awesome. I never heard of that guy.
Sounds like we have similar backgrounds and careers.

I can’t think of any way of conducting a study to test a hypothesis.

I suppose I would say that, strictly speaking, chess is nothing more than a game of complete information, that has a big search space, filled with interesting corners.

On the other hand, when most non-experts play OTB, much of the thought is psychological — the classic leveling of “what is my opponent trying to do, and thinking I’m trying to do, and therefore trying to do...”
Looking at the history: the question was posted in Oct 2010, and got 14 answers in its next 5 days, the last of which was Thurston's. A year and a bit later, on Jan 1 2012, two more people posted answers. The question was closed shortly after that, as "no longer relevant". I think you can consider it the opinion of the MathOverflow community that they no longer want to see new answers to the old question and the “already seen” question bumped to the front page again, and closing is a way of doing that (all it does is prevent new answers), and it is not intended as judgment cast on the quality of the question or its answers.

I am active in a few Stack Exchange communities (sites), and two things that strike me are:

- The communities can differ a lot in how they approach things (when they feel closure is appropriate, for instance).

- As in most online communities (Wikipedia etc.), people who have been around for a while tend to get insular and think in terms of their own subculture, and do not always understand what impression their actions (in this example the actual text of the “no longer relevant” closure) make on outsiders or newcomers. On Wikipedia there's an actual policy about this, but I got tired of typing [[WP:BITE]] over and over again. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Please_do_not_bite_t...)

Also, I think men will often play dumb and go along with the objectification, either because they want to actually get with the woman, or just for fun.
It is fleeting though: her “fame” and potentially career (though seems like that isn’t her end goal, seems more like she’s like every teenager I’ve met who wants to publicly video document everything and use it as some kind of social interaction) are predicated on access to prerelease Apple hardware. That’s gone now.
> Don't tell us the protagonist's girlfriend is beautiful. Show us her flowing black hair, her lips perpetually on the verge of smiling, her brown eyes with those eerie golden flecks.

Truth be told, some writers go way overboard portraying everything, especially using metaphors, that it just gets annoying. For instance, this excerpt in Fahrenheit 451:

> He saw himself in her eyes, suspended in two shining drops of bright water, himself dark and tiny, in fine detail, the lines about his mouth, everything there, as if her eyes were two miraculous bits of violet amber that might capture and hold him intact. Her face, turned to him now, was fragile milk crystal with a soft and constant light in it. It was not the hysterical light of electricity but—what? But the strangely comfortable and rare and gently flattering light of the candle. One time, as a child, in a power failure, his mother had found and lit a last candle and there had been a brief hour of rediscovery, of such illumination that space lost its vast dimensions and drew comfortably around them, and they, mother and son, alone, transformed, hoping that the power might not come on again too soon…

I can't visualise what the author is trying to illustrate. Whenever I see something similar, I try hard to understand by going over and over again, but then, I just move on feeling a bit stupid. I have come to a conclusion that maybe fiction is just not my cup of tea. I am sure these are the parts other people can appreciate but I am just tempted to close the book and move to next one.
There is nothing strictly racist in those statements, nothing strictly racist as in "humans of ancestry X are inherently inferior to humans of ancestry Y". But as the reaction here clearly shows, the writing touches some trigger patterns: the article seems to say things that in America, only a racist would say. But these triggers are completely cultural and since this is a text from Germany you should be very careful to make assumption based on cultural "don'ts" from a different background. There is nothing in the article that would qualify as racist according to german standards. Many statements that scream "racist" to an American would seem perfectly all right even to a German who hands teddy-bears to refugee children by day and hunts nazi hooligans by night.

As a German, it is one of the most interesting things that I have ever learned from reading hacker news: according to American standards, all of Germany would be considered racist, even Baader/Meinhoff-worshipping leftists. The same insight helps me immensely in accepting that all those things in America that trigger German "this is terribly, terribly nationalist!" sensibilities probably do not actually mean that the USA are gearing up to annex some neighboring countries by force. Because that is what we think of when we see flags over factory floors, hear the "USA! USA!" chant or someone raising from their seat upon hearing their national anthem and maybe even -gasp!- put their right hand higher than the waist line. Here in Germany, only a racist would do that (because nationalism and racism are inseparable in countries that do not share America's long tradition of immigration).

In short: our cultures are full of shortcut heuristics for the kind of dangerous group-chauvinism we want to avoid. It's usually not a problem to have them (I'm not here to rally against "PC crap"), but they absolutely don't translate across borders.

Because "The Economist" specifically wants to muddle this issue and present it as merely a matter of economic configuration or transitional structural phenomena. Some of happen to think it is more fundamentally about Human Rights, such as 'Privacy of Thought', etc.

Your point re. x5 is correct. Same thing happened to John D. R. who got richer after Standard Oil was broken up.

Who owns the copyright on procedurally generated music?

Mostly curious since some of these sound better than the ambient tracks you get in games. Even better, you could constrain the parameters of the generation to have each instance of a game generate different, but thematically similar, procedural music.

It's such a shameful platform too. A lot of C++ stuff I work on and with has a C++11 path, and a Windows path for anything that needs, for example, guaranteed width integer types. Part of the fault for that in particular lies on the ISO folks for waiting twelve years to introduce <cstdint> instead of at least adding it in C++03 (since that's the first C++ after C99); but a big part of it lies in the fact that Microsoft makes you pay to compile things for their platform, so developers get understandably cheap and stay two (or four!) generations of VS behind.
Show HN: Collaborative todo list app – to reduce the email load in my office
This article failed to mention the most important thing: An actual advantage of fat binaries. The closest he comes is saying that he feels the docker way is "old"... As compared with fat binaries, which is how desktop applications have been shipped for decades. Hell, size, the only clear would-be advantage, is only mentioned in a throaway sentence.

> Yes, the network can be very powerful, but trying to use it for everything is a royal pain.

He says this after saying docker is unsuited for the massive scale of microservices... Where everything communicates through the network anyways.

Also I have a feeling he doesn't know the distinction between kubernetes and docker. They don't actually compete with each other, I don't even understand the comparison. Kubernetes uses docker.

All in all, I'm not convinced.

PS: At least in python, there are ways to create fat binaries anyway. And I have no doubt that this guy is very good at operations, as he seems to have not found problems with go's dependency management and even implicitly compares it favorably with those of the scripting languages.
You are probably reading biased media. Spain has not consistently escalated tensions, it's been done by both sides. I disagree that something like this is commonly understood as fundamental. Referendums need to meet some conditions and be agreed. Disagreement happened in both sides, it wasn't an authoritarian decision in spite of what some international media seem to enjoy saying. What is illegal in the referendum is: - it asks something that is not allowed to happen by the constitution (thus the need to change it first) - there is no clear definition of who is allowed to vote (who is Catalan by which definition) - the right to vote on the ownership of that land belongs to all Spanish just like any other region belongs to those voting there. - What's the level at which we do the referendum? Not all areas might want to leave in the case of a hypothetical "yes" (which is not a majority at the moment by any poll). What if certain areas want independence from Catalonia?

Most importantly: the referendum is illegal even by the autonomic law of Catalonia. They should have had 2/3 of the chamber to push it, and they did it with less than half (48% IRCC).

I'd written a paragraph explaining why your arguments are wrong and asking you to reevaluate your viewpoint. But forget that.

I'll ask you this: UC Berkeley, a school that does not consider gender in applications per California law, has a EECS department makeup of 4:1 M/F.

UC Berkeley is required by law to not consider gender when evaluating applicants, is extremely liberal/left, and has an overall population of 52% female.

Explain to me what UC Berkeley is doing wrong, and how we should change it.

If you think UC Berkeley should lower the bar for female applicants to achieve parity, then our conversation is over, because we have fundamentally different ideals. I want meritocracy. You want to parasitically feed off of someone else's merits - I guess they call it "socialism" but that word has become so mainstreamed it doesn't do justice to how despicable your utopia is.

If you think increasing outreach efforts to get more children interested in science so (and therefore, there will naturally be more female applicants as a consequence) , you'd stop dismissing me as a "sexist" and think critically about why it is that I'm doing what I'm doing.

>> My extensive experience with MRAs, etc,

I'm not a mens right activist, nor have I once suggested that the system is designed against men, so you can throw aside your straw mans now.

>> I've got better things to do. If you're serious about helping women

Sounds like to me you don't actually want equality, you just pretend you do so you can "feel" like you're part of a new Civil Rights movement while actually doing nothing about it. Except occasionally tapping away at your keyboard calling others sexist.

A Theory of Mass Culture (1953)
I’ve created an account on HN just to talk about how bad iOS 11 has been.

I’ve tried iOS 11 on - a 6s plus, 7 plus (mine and a friend’s), 8 plus, an iPad Air 2. I have to experiment with quite a few devices for work related reasons. The 7 plus had the Intel variant.

The battery has been just bad, just horribly bad on all but one 8 plus.

I’ve never experienced such a poor quality update from Apple.

Apple is quite stubborn when it comes to UX choices, but the Wifi and Bluetooth toggle issue is just inexcusable. I have a great LTE plan but poor Wifi in the bedroom. One night, I forgot to turn off the Wifi from the settings app. I was habituated to toggling it on or off from control centre. I woke up in the morning and saw the battery had gone down by 30%. The device was at full charge at night. The phone kept trying to reconnect to the Wifi all night and ended up draining 30%.

I live with Apple’s design/UX choices which they force upon the users because it usually just works out in the end. But this is just stupid! I have never been this aggravated with an iOS update.

It’s silly changes for the sake of change. That’s it.

I’m so hopping mad right now with the update that I’m considering Android again. I do not want to pay premium prices for such horrible software quality.

I’ve no intention of buying any high end Android as they loose value quite fast. Maybe a cheap, sub 300 USD phone. I don’t care for updates at that price. I’ll just swap the phone every year if I want the update.
It sounds silly because the analogy is a bit silly. Mathematicians didn't spend centuries trying and failing to take square roots of negative numbers, endlessly studying this as some sort of important question or goal. Complex numbers popped up fairly quickly after the serious study of the roots of polynomials began. They're intrinsic to it.

I've been doing the same, and wrote a small app that combines the feeds into a small daily email newsletter for myself. I wish I'd thought of this years ago.

The worst part about these feeds is they're infinite. Converting much of the same content into a digest that you can read in 30 minutes and be done with makes a world of difference.
That's a very good point. A technology can get screwed up. Maybe that's a good reason for identifying it as a technology, so that people don't think it grows on trees, and are more inclined to keep an eye on it. One indicator might just be a flight from a bad money system to a good one. I once met a person who ran a factory in Brazil during a period of hyper inflation, and he kept his money in US dollars.

A bigger fear is that the most robust currencies get screwed up, i.e., what might be loosely defined as a global financial system. If that were to happen, then the benefits of "good" money could simply vanish, i.e., prosperity.

I'd love to make personal finance and some basic economics be part of K-12 education. I'll bet college would suddenly get cheaper. ;-)
this isn't inspired by the movie "Up." July 2, 1982 Larry Walters tied his lawn chair to balloons and carried an air pistol to shoot balloons to control the amount of lift. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Walters

When he landed his quote to the press before his arrest was:

"It was something I had to do. I had this dream for twenty years, and if I hadn't done it, I think I would have ended up in the funny farm."

Guinness Book of World Records even has a category. I told my Dad I wanted to do it and he almost grounded me right then and there.
I think the first thing we should do is to understand how superlative human intellectual performance as it exists today even works, and try to make it commodity knowledge taught in everyday classrooms.

In a typical physics, mathematics or engineering curriculum, we learn a lot of fields, such as mechanics, electrodynamics, calculus, signal processing, control theory, and so on. But we don't learn about the human cognitive processes that went into the discovery of those fields. At best we get a caricatured view of the subject's history. Thus, you might learn that Galois came up with the idea of groups. But what was he thinking when he did that? What were the challenges that he was up against that inspired his idea? In short, how did he think, and how might we emulate him for our problems? Ditto for Maxwell, Riemann, etc.

In all the courses that I took, there was none that explicitly taught me how the mind solves challenging problems or comes up with creative solutions. This knowledge is supposed to be somehow imbibed indirectly by learning the fields themselves, which I think is very inefficient. We need to make dissemination of this wisdom more systematic.

A parallel is the field of strength training, in which specific exercises, equipment, and nutritional methods were discovered over a brief period of time. The professional body builders of today are giants compared to their peers over a century ago. Something similar needs to happen for cognitive skills as well.

I don't hate the episode, but even despite my contrarianism I have to admit I've been brought around to agree that it was a very bad episode for the universe even if it was an OK episode internally. It's easy to forget if you are young and you've never lived in a world where Simpson's seasons 1-7 or so are all there was in the world, but the Simpson's used to actually have a universe, rules, characters that were more than walking stereotypes, and even a bit of capacity for lasting consequences, and thus, a capacity for drama that the modern "cartoony" (in the bad sense) version has a very hard time sustaining.

If you were raised in the modern era, you can get the reverse effect that some of us oldster's describe by going back and watching Season 1 in order. It is not the best season, but it was already showing a lot of the promise that would manifest a couple of seasons later, and in so many ways you'll find it is just a different show, even more clearly than if you go a couple of seasons later. (And it does have my favorite Halloween episode. I have to admit I haven't seen them all, and there were certainly some other good ones, but when it comes down to it, it is hard to beat a dramatic reading of The Raven. There's a reason this became a tradition and not just a one-off.)

Right, but for example YT won't allow you to monetize videos until you reach 10k viewers on your channel. Which means a bunch of shitty video sites can use your videos without paying you until you reach 10k viewers on that site - which may mean "never". Also, even if they do pay you, it's not like ads have guaranteed rates, it's all dynamic based on bids, which are likely much smaller in another site.
I really liked "Law & Order" (classic edition). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_%26_Order They had 20 seasons, the cases were interesting and weird (and secretly based in real cases), they lived in a strange word were the suspect had right, but unlike "The Simpsons" they lost.

In the modern law&order versions, the CSI-whatever and other police shows, half of the suspect spontaneously confess without a lawyer and the other half confess after borderline torture. And the forensic analysis use magical methods that would not be believable even in Start Trek.
