If I were you I'd want to really good with plain Python (or Node) before learning a framework, but that's because I'm the kind of person who wants to know how everything works. Once you've written a few CRUD apps you'll wish there was a tool to do some of the common stuff for you, and Django will be waiting for you.

But, if you're not that kind of person it's perfectly OK to jump straight into Django. You'll certainly get further more quickly, even if you won't be able to explain exactly what your code is doing.
It took me a while to figure out what you meant. I've never looked at people's profiles on here before. I couldn't imagine writing my thesis in anything but LaTeX. Or rather, anything that didn't support both high-quality typesetting and programming. I had little programs written in my .tex files which would generate some of the tables and figures. TikZ is wonderful. I aimed for nothing less than TAoCP level of quality.

That isn't how this works.

The people who believe climate change the least are those that typically live in the middle of America i.e. the least to be directly affected. I assure you that when you speak to Pacific Islanders from Cook Islands, Fiji etc they very much believe climate change is real and are desperate for action to be taken.

If you really want things to change help change the politicians in the US. Because China is doubling down on solutions and we really need the US to be doing the same.

I have a Matias Quiet Pro Mini (2016) and it's by far the most comfortable mech I've tried (Cherry brown, red, blue and black. Would like to try clear and green).

From what I've heard their QC has improved over the past couple of years, and I've not had any problems with mine. They're also working on PBT keycaps which should arrive in a few months.

The dream would be a Planck or Preonic with Matias switches...
Economically speaking free trade is equivalent to technological growth. A machine that turns corn into cars is the same as a country that trades corn for cars. The theory of free trade works because in free trade there is more efficiency (and thus wealth) than there was before so even though some people loose jobs immediately there are more jobs created and everyone ends up better off.

The big problem is the 40 yo and up demographic. I think I speak for many of hn'ers when I say that if AI made programmers obsolete tomorrow it would suck, but it wouldn't ruin me. I'm young enough and financially well off enough that I could weather that storm. When I get to the point where I'm too old for entry level work and too young for retirement, that storm becomes a much bigger deal.

This isn't just theoretical. By and large the biggest "fix" to the problems of the rust belt have been younger people moving to greener pastures. Indeed its happened before with the industrial revolution causing urbanization. You don't need to dig far into the stats to notice that most of America's post-industrial towns skew older. The issue is the political class (either for lack of wisdom or excess of greed) didn't prepare any plan for the older demographic when they made deals like NAFTA.

Its a very tricky problem to solve. The old jobs aren't coming back and the old people aren't going away. The only solution I can think of is government make-work programs available exclusively to people living in certain areas and above a certain age. But making such a program is its own political challenge. Would the people who benefit from it even vote for it or is it too "communist"?
troff/groff seems attractive to me, but can it achieve the same level of quality is TeX? When it comes to typesetting I'm not prepared to sacrifice quality for convenience and TeX seems to offer a reasonable compromise here.

Interesting article. In lieu of any qualification to verify the claims; the comment section seemed on superficial reading populated with experienced scientists that gave some support.

Another takeaway was the introduction (for me) to the concept of "naturalness", with which the author has some issues. It is however not possible to do away with it (if I'm not mistaken about its meaning), except in cases where the assumptions of naturalness turn out to be wrong, as it seems it was in this case.

It seems to me that some concept of "naturalness", is what we use to interpret empirical facts, without which we could not make sense of it at all. Examples of what I would consider "naturalness": that the past precedes the present, that large things contain smaller things (perhaps in infinity), ad that small things are contained in larger things (perhaps in infinity), etc.

Granted, our sense of naturalness could be completely wrong, and empirical data constantly challenge what we consider natural, which is how it should be.

But not all business majors are created equal in the job market. Research shows that students who major in general business and marketing are more likely to be unemployed or underemployed, meaning they hold jobs that don't require a college degree. They also earn less than those in more math-focused business majors, such as finance and accounting.
Is 2.3% really worthy of being called "high"?

Perhaps not for most industries, although presumably this is a relative scale and those working with tight margins might disagree. But as you point out yourself, the tariffs do vary significantly by industry and can be much higher in some cases.

One could equally point out that average tariffs under the WTO arrangements are also only a small percentage, which is falling, but can also be significantly higher in some sectors. Apparently quite a few people are concerned that the harder possible varieties of Brexit would cause trade with the EU to suffer severely because of those tariffs.

My personal view is that the tariffs look like a relatively small barrier overall, and while we should be careful about the sectors that could be hit much harder, it's the non-tariff barriers where we should be concentrating most of our attention.
I do recommend trying Clears. I have a natural heavy typing, I do hammer keys with extreme force if they have any more way than cheap rubberdome keyboards.

The clears are very nice to type on though I wish I would have had a chance to try the superblacks. I'm looking into ways to increase the force on the switches for a while now, springs have been suggested at some point.
I'm Scottish. Honestly the idea that engineers in the UK are some lower social caste is a complete fantasy.
This article is lying or perhaps I am misunderstanding.

The article states: "Cherry switches are linear — by definition, not tactile. They lack a click leaf, which is required for tactile feedback."

I have used and built several mechanical keyboards with Cherry MX Blue switches. They _are_ non-linear and _do_ include a click leaf which gives the Cherry MX Blue [1] its characteristic "bump" feel and click.

I find a bit sad that the beauty has to be directly given to you. I will always remember the first games of the Amiga as the most beautiful graphics I've ever seen, the imagination completed the part that the technology missed.

If just 3% of the data from the LHC has been analyzed so far, which means there is 97% more data to come in and be analyzed, and if the Higgs boson was discovered within these 3%, isn't it a bit quick to deem the experiment as failed already? Please note I most certainly have no idea about the subject at hand.
The United States has the same thing. Get too many traffic infractions in a certain time window (a year or two, might depend on the state) and you get your license revoked.
> even though some people loose jobs immediately there are more jobs created and everyone ends up better off.

That is wishful thinking: free trade creates innovation and innovation not only concerns new products but also new processes. If, for example, someone came up with a cost-wise way to replace all Foxconn workers or factory workers in general then these workers would be jobless.

As many others pointed out companies like Google have more revenue with less people, and what is worse is that if you want to create ten Googles there are not enough trained people to hire.

In simple game theoretical terms we assume that because we have some simple rules in capitalism we can predict the outcomes when indeed the game possible moves and ramifications are hyper complex.
It's unfortunate that the EPA is under attack by conservatives who want limited government. If you start from first principles about what the min viable government should do, a big part of its charter would be to prevent major tragedies of the commons. And the environment is a textbook example of something that'd suffer the tragedy of the commons without government oversight.

I prefer a bigger government with a bigger social safety net with universal basic healthcare, etc. But I can understand conservative opposition to that; at least those don't produce tragedies of the commons. (They arguably do to a lesser extent: if people's basic needs are met, they're less likely to resort to crime to fulfill them. And a greater rate of crime is a tragedy for all; ask anyone who's paid a premium to live in a "safe" neighborhood.)

I loved my Matias keyboards, but they just did not last.

This is not because of EPA but because of humans who have more prosperity and start caring and having the political power to care about their environment.

The EPA is an expression of that and for a while when there were things that were objectively problematic in the USA it was a great organization.

> To justify substantial investments, I am told, an experiment needs a clear goal and at least a promise of breakthrough discoveries.

This is antithetical to science. If you're promising a breakthrough discovery, you're approaching the experiment with bias.

The fact that more new particles have not emerged at energy levels the LHC can produce is a discovery--if I'm understanding the blog post correctly[1], it's the beginnings of a disproof of naturalness in supersymmmetry. It's not as exciting as if they had discovered hundreds of new things to study, but it's equally important.

And that's exactly why I agree with the author: science is about finding what's true not about finding what's exciting. As a taxpayer, I think one of the most valuable things particle physics could do here is to educate people on that bias and lead by example. I get that they fear losing their funding to do science, but if you let that fear push you into pursuing exciting results over the truth, then you're not doing science anyway.

[1] I'm not a particle physicist--my post is about the social problem that physicists are facing, not about the physics.
Your understanding of what naturalness is seems odd. If you get rid of naturalness, you just have fine tuning. Fine tuning is not beautiful but it is not a logical disaster as you describe.

Right but the money saved will now be spent someplace else instead thus creating new jobs. It will never be the case that a company will say "let's just sit on this money we used to spend on the old process".

Sure in your example foxconn fires all its workers. Now foxconn has a pile of money. Either they spend that doing some other thing (which requires labor) or their executive's go out on a personal spending spree creating a demand for labor in the leisure sector.

Free trade can't kill employment. Only technology can kill employment in the long term. And technology only starts killing jobs after its played a ton of sector-to-sector automation whack-a-mole.

Just because I own a piece of land, why would I care about its environmental quality? Let's say I own a million dollar parcel and through various means I'm able to extract 10 million of value from that parcel but I leave it utterly ruined and unfit for human life. Why do I care? I made my profit, I walk away.

Or maybe the tract is owned by my shell corporation. I extract millions, polluting the property and that of surrounding neighbors as well. A large swath of land lays in ruin. My neighbors sue the owner of my tract, ie the corporation, which promptly goes bankrupt. I don't care, I've already made my fortune and I'm protected by the corporate veil. If you say in such a case I shouldn't be protected, then you're arguing in favor of special penalties with respect to environmental issues.
