I find Vue and angular way more complex then reactjs mainly Due to them having their own syntax and I find jsx far better then template strings.

For a Js developer reactjs would be easy. But if your not that experienced or just HTML guy then I can understand why they find vue/angular easy. Both have a framework built in for routing, css , http. You just need to learn their syntax and nothing much. With reactjs you need to come with your structure, find the correct routing, state managements,css libs etc
React made me feel that the designers of react are stupid - so kind of a similar experience :)
While good and illustrative, that page is based on the very restrictive view, that of choosing only one candidate. This applies to presidential elections, sure. There can be only one president.

But most countries don't have one-member sized voting districts in their parliament elections, rather they choose 10 to 30 members per voting district.

At the point in time when Google pulled that stunt, unprotected networks were still incredibly common. A company like Google playing dumb on that, or actually not knowing that, would be pretty sad.

I think the RSS decline is more of due to a simple supply/demand problem. (I hypothesize) RSS lost because most people who are on the internet aren't tech savvy enough to configure an RSS reader.

Because reading from an RSS source required you to have an RSS reader of sorts and there was some configuration required on the users' part - Install a client/setup an online tool, this was an extra (rather complicated) step as compared to say, simply going to Facebook and subscribing to a page you like with the click of a button.

Now, I'm not discounting the possibility it may have been killed strategically by the internet giants, because it's not in their interest, but I do believe Google Adsense (at that time) did allow you to publish ads into your RSS feeds somehow. So, maybe they killed it because of poor adoption rates and the configuration required to setup one?
Also Kindle Fire Kids edition is great for young ones. I have a completely locked down profile with only hand-picked shows/videos for my toddler. Mrs. and I are going through some medical stuff so it helps tremendously when he is able to stay quiet for 30-40mins at doctor's office watching Daniel Tiger. We don't let him play on his Kindle often but it is definitely one of the best purchases I made.

I have been pretty selective with Netflix shows because some of them seem pretty repetitive. I had high hopes for Word Party ( http://nypost.com/2015/07/01/netflix-to-stream-kids-word-par... ) when I first heard about it but it is honestly the same 3-4 songs repeated over and over in each episode. Instead we prefer to let him watch shows for slightly older kids that involve better story-telling and more complex concepts. E.g. We Bare Bears in Hulu is great.

I've noticed that 2d animation content is often much better than 3d and I think the medium post corroborates it.
Watching that is tantamount to reading Act II from The King in Yellow.

Does this refer to static binaries?

What amazes me most about Go is that they managed to successfully pitch a C-like systems language that does not promote use of shared libraries. About six years passed before they added an option to create them.

Were there many complaints about the absence of shared libraries originally?

Whenever I have mentioned the benefits of compiling C programs as static binaries and that in some cases with todays hardware one can have enough memory that shared libraries may not be necessary in order to conserve memory (one of the original goals of shared libraries), I have encountered substantial resistance to the idea. Perhaps some folks are interested in shared libraries for reasons other than memory conservation.

The usual* way to handle this is to have a small LED next to the mic/camera that shows when it's on -- and have it wired up to the device in series, such that it's software-impossible for the device to be powered without the light being on.

This isn't true at all depending on your work. I program software that has to work alongside other programs on busy file systems...failing to read/write a file is not someone else's problem...it needs to be handled, logged, there is potentially a retry and/or notification.
We are so, so early in robot development. Think of how far the Boston Dynamics robots have come in the last few years. Think of the videos of the robots slaying humans at rock-scissors-paper. Realise that immediately after a robot gets as good as a human at anything, it can subsequently exceed that.

They're evolving a thousand times faster than us.

In my class, circa 2001, we were taught about an adder, then used cheap chips in a breadboard with wires and bulbs to show it, then used Logicworks to create a simple version in software. Rinse and repeat for other components, and the final project was to copy and paste those components into a larger logicworks project and hook them up together into a simple 4 bit CPU with a few dozen bytes of RAM. It could understand four instructions if I recall correctly, so very simple programs could run from that RAM.

I don't really remember how to do any of it anymore (but I have no doubt I could research it without much trouble) but it certainly was a good way to demystify a CPU, given you had fully simulated one at the gate level by the end.

I think it's less of an issue of programmers in general in danger of being seen as witches and more of a certain breed of programmer. You know the type. Not even the obviously "bad guys" and "hackers" induce that much of a visceral reaction.

The sort of kid so detached from their community that yes, they might as well live in a haughty ivory tower with a handful of their peers and bring their arcane gizmos wherever they go and look down upon muggles in disdain. Those are I'm worried about giving the rest of us spellweavers a bad rap.
>First of all, autism isn't an infection

it's being used as a rhetorical device. the implication here is that although autism isn't actually being spread per se, the environment at facebook (caused by profit motive or otherwise) causes "tone death and oblivious to basic human behavior and feelings".

>second it dehumanises people with autism when you associate them with negative connotations like not being aware of human feelings

im aware that autism exists on a spectrum, and there are high functioning autists, but isn't that at generally true?
This is the age when our ancestors were teaching there kids about the tigers, lions and wolf's out there. If they tried to keep them safe that would have been the death of the whole tribe, as the kids that didn't understand the dangers would have done something stupid and got a bunch of people killed.

Sheltering kids is bad, teaching them and finding a mutual understanding is the best way to handle them. There are predators out there and they need to be thinking about that whenever they make an interaction on the internet.

Good parenting!
I think the reason you're so sour is because you didn't see enough Disney films growing up.
I'm going to have to chime in for the book/course Nand2Tetris - Building a Modern Computer from First Principles (http://nand2tetris.org/) which has been posted back and forth here on HN for quite a few years and is of course where I discovered it as well.

It was really eye opening to me (being a web programmer) to see how you can actually build a real computer with a C-like programming language and compiler just by starting out with simple logic gates. I mean, the damn thing eventually ends up running Tetris! All by essentially combining logic gates for computation and flip-flops for memory. How amazing is that, really?

How do you measure handwriting? Is the teacher grading by taking a caliper and measuring the exact form of each letter mechanically, or is he/she just comparing based on what “looks good” to the eye.

Some people might not have very steady hands. Are you going to penalize them for that?
I am partway through Code (can't seem to get through some of the heavy combinatorial math just by reading...it's somewhat of a slog), but it oddly enough made me think of coding as even more magical.

We harness mana (electricity) to run it through circuits (runes), and craft spells (code) that generate effects (magic).

Just reading the start of it is humbling because it makes you realize that people had to come up with these principles in the first place, and figure out the initial abstraction layers that let everything else click into place.

Speaking as an adult, the videos that will captivate me to the point of repeatedly rewatching them are specifically the videos that are unfamiliar and weird. Like say Kitty City [1]. My brain can't comprehend the unfamiliar world logic behind the video in just one go; it crave rewatches to better understand what the heck is happening in that scary world.

So my pet theory is that actually the opposite of the above theory is true. Kids rewatch movies that push the boundaries of their reality, in order to gain a better understanding of them. When the novelty wears off they'll move on.

Probably the truth is some combination of both. I wouldn't be surprised if certain times of day, developmental needs kick in and kids want to rewatch movies they don't understand; while other times of day, comfort needs kick in and they just want to see Elsa sing for the 100th time.

I have no negative experiences related to chalk boards. But I don't like picking up chalk or touching chalk boards. It's something about the texture that makes me shiver, and it gets on my hands. I can avoid marker on my hands by being careful. Oddly, I greatly prefer hearing someone write on a chalk board. The sound is satisfying to me.
I've read somewhere (forget where) that the key to successful pop music is the slight unpredictability of new songs. That new hit song is mostly familiar… but just unfamiliar enough that you need to re-listen to it 100 times to really wrap your head around it.

There's a difference between running algorithms and running them without lag or battery drain. You need to tune the whole pipeline and keep every single step in sync, without unnecessary data copies or conversions, which is why Google spent the last few years designing its own image sensor processor, among others. It wasn't until recently that phones exposed raw pixels through the Camera2 API, for example. Some manufacturers don't want to go through the motions of exposing camera internals because of the extra work involved, some just want to keep their secret sauce secret.
I think I remember that bug if you send an image with too large of a resolution it would crash the AOL app and therefore kick people off line.
Ok, but how do the robots do the terminating? How do they actually seek and destroy? Do they understand all the different ways humans know how to cloak themselves?

Do they kill everything living, or will they know how to distinguish humans from other living beings reliably?

If even one Evil Overlord robot is captured and studied, how much can be gleaned which will allow them to be exploited? If the Evil Overlord deploys these robots and leaves even one exploit open then the entire swarm is compromised and Evil Overlord is overthrown.

I can see it working if this is a sneak attack and they take a large percentage in a short amount of time, but that would require a lot of build up of technology by this Evil Overlord without being exposed... not impossible, but still implausible in my book.
You're confusing OLTP and OLAP, and it isn't even really relevant to the topic at hand. Column stores are mostly about how to layout the physical representation of data in a single node for read-mostly workloads on wide tables with selective filters and projections. The discussion of how distributed consistency may work is irrelevant here.

RSS is great. Most of the major news sources, from the BBC to Fox News to NPR, have useful RSS feeds. Technically, it works OK.
Real content is out there.

But there are two big problems. First, it doesn't add ads, as others have mentioned.

Second, it's really easy to unsubscribe. This is why so-called "newsletters" are sent as spam emails. RSS could do the job just fine. If the recipient really wanted the newsletter. The first time a "newsletter" sends out "NEW OFFER BIG SALE...", the recipient clicks "unsubscribe". They're unsubscribed then and there, will never read another item, and the sender can't do a thing about it. The sender doesn't even know they're gone.

RSS doesn't disempower the end user. Modern web technologies are designed to keep the user firmly under the thumb of advertisers. That's the problem with RSS.

For some people on the spectrum, yes, but you have to realise it's a severely frustrating experience for them as well because they have feelings and want to make human connections too. So it's not helpful to paint them as being oblivious. As I said, it's dehumanising. They deserve dignity and that includes being aware of the language we use about them.

That it's being used as a rhetorical device is immaterial. It's still dehumanizing. And no, people on the autistic spectrum are fully aware of human feelings. But people on the autistic spectrum typically have difficulty reading other people's emotions.
I spent so many hours writing AOL 'progs' as they were, I had a decompiled Fate X 2.5 thanks to DoDi's decompiler. The server and MM rooms were always full of pirated stuff, and punting people offline was always a blast. So many good memories of this growing up.

I see your point, and can sympathise. Nevertheless, let's dig further and see if we can get to some fundamental principle:

> is he/she just comparing based on what “looks good” to the eye.

How are art subjects in school graded? I actually don't know.

> Some people might not have very steady hands. Are you going to penalize them for that?

Some are bad at something else, like mathematics. Are we to penalise them for that? Yes, those students get a low grade in mathematics. Can we motivate a difference in attitude between handwriting and mathematics by an appeal to usefulness, saying that it is useful to be good at mathematics, but not as useful to shape beautiful letters? Is it nevertheless a point in teaching it (and arts)? Is the teaching of those subjects motivated by other things than their usefulness? Should they, because of that, be graded differently, perhaps in such a way that effort, along with performance, can yield a high grade? (What happens then if someone relies on a grade to see how well someone else does music?)

The interim CEO is not a complete newcomer though, he was in Equifax since April 2010[0] and is former head of the company’s Asia-Pacific business[0]. And considering the huge controversy around the data, it being their main/sole business and the fact it made his predecessor step down he should take a bit more interest than random journalists and randoms online to understand crystal clear what's going on in there, especially when preparing to go to a hearing in Congress to get drilled about it.

Concurrent servers – part 4: libuv
I think one interesting project in the near future could be to try and build a column-oriented storage engine that's "good enough" for both OLAP and OLTP workloads.

The main precedent here is Spanner's Ressi storage engine, which, according to the most recent paper [1], uses a PAX-like format (with blocks arranged row-oriented, but values within a block are column-oriented, so kind of like Parquet) for on-disk data, but combines it with a traditional log-structured merge tree for writes and point queries.

Weeeeeeeell technically back in the day Google Reader would have worked just like that. Logging into Google Reader would could have permitted logging into any platform with integrated Google sign-in for their platform.

I still hold massive butthurt towards Google for abandoning Reader. It marked a pivot away from open technology platforms. Perhaps people don't know about RSS because Google / FB / Twitter prefer you not use it? These giants encourage passive consumption and discourage DIY curation of content. If I can currate my own content lists, I bypass their ad revenue generating framework, picking and choosing only those things I want to read. They receive no information about why I choose that specific article to read. I've made it a priority to trim my usage of Google to the extent possible. I dream of someday abandoning Gmail.

Looks like a cool building, but I wonder how much mental bandwidth designing it took up at Apple. The mac mini needs an update, they need to release a Mac Pro that is viable for video pros, and they definitely haven't sold me on their new macbook pros (without mag safe!) Also, where's the Apple equivalent to the Hololens? And what happened to all the rumors about Apple cars and Apple Smart TVs? How are they doing on creating smart home devices?

I'm not sure that they really should make cars, or TVs, but they are basically an amazing phone company at this point and that's about it. Maybe, I don't know, build an ad-free search engine and bake it into all your products so that you can give google a run for their money instead of obsessing over a $5 billion building.
