A big problem of learning any programming language "in an afternoon" is dodging all the cargo-cult bad advise on the internet. If you know what's bad advice it's easy but when you start from 0, any tutorial looks equally legit and you might end up a week in a rabbit hole that is more destructive than productive.

An experienced programmer knows when to stop googling, when to use classes from the standard library and when to roll your own algorithm. A beginner does not and can easily start writing their own timezone-handling class or spend a day finding and configuring a package on npm that could be written in 3 lines yourself.

So in hindsight it feels like you should have been able to learn all this in an afternoon, but the road there is actually tougher than you remember.
You should consider that only a very small amount of phishing domains and URLs ever make it to phishtank,openphish and similar services.

I welcome what the author is doing but you need to do a bit more for phishing protection, like blocking newly registered and/or uncategorized domains.

I wonder if there are browser extensions for this sort of stuff?
That's not what I meant. Android and iOS already have their own widgets with accessibility features in place. iOS even better than Android. It took years for them to develop to where they are now.

Now Flutter is making its own widgets that look and handle like the corresponding native widgets. So they need to implement accessibility all over again in the same way that is already present on the platforms. Google is thus redoing all the work they already did in Android.

A lesson from modern software development is that software is developed incrementally and because accessibility is never high on those priority lists, it will lack in quality at first and take multiple iterations to get up to the same level as the native accessibility of the OS, if it even gets there in the first place.
Dart has a VM (with hot reloading) for dev time and an AOT compiler for release builds.

I’d say that’s one of the most attractive things about Dart to compensate for yet another language.
Ok, they threw in lots of other parameters: so maybe the correct question should be - what does this test predict for children of the same social background? If this is a question that may not be asked then you may reconsider your basic assumptions.
Many comments seem to cast doubt on the marshmellow test based on the article. I honestly don’t understand how the contents of the article could lead to such conclusion. Aren’t the economic status of the family and the result of the test both correlated with the future economic status, and no causal relationship is suggested?
Agree, which why there is very little value in these single variate analysis. To me sociology is journalism without the requirement to have readers.

The notion of unjustness derives from the idea that accruing wealth is a completely random process.
PHP is like the Javascript of backend. Hate it all you want but there is nothing better to get shit done esp if you're a small team or working solo.

Also it is super flexible too (much like JavaScript and babel) as in you can write strict OOP code or you can write plain php code inside Html in static files.
Howdoo: Revolutionary decentralized messaging platform with incentives
Are you afraid of taking risks in trying new social platform and don’t know where to place your trust? Then the answer is “HOWDOO”. The hardcap of more than 60% has been already achieved. Seeing the popularity of the platform? Everyone is purchasing the tokens for becoming the part of this network.

They used a lot of different measures. I'll try and summarise the key ones here:

Academic achievement was measured using the Woodcock-Johnson Psycho-Educational Battery Revised, a "commonly used measure of cognitive ability and achievement". They used various sub-tests from this battery for measuring maths/english seperately.

Behavioural problems were measured by reports from mothers. (They used the 1991 "Child Behavior Checklist") This was apparently done to be consistent with the original report.

> [child cognitive indicators were] measured at age 24 months by the Bayley Mental Development Index (MDI; Bayley, 1991) and at age 36 months by the Bracken Basic Concept Scale (BBCS; Bracken, 1984).

And the child's home environment was measured by the HOME inventory (Caldwell & Bradley, 1984).
I think philosophy proved this before mathematics. See e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regress_argument, the same argument from over two thousand years ago.
I'm a Chinese, and I'm a gamer, I can help. I'm mainly a developer so I can take this gig if it doesn't take too much time. Or I can ask around for you.

You can send me an email (see my profile) about the details.

Help children as much as it is possible. There is no other way. You cannot help adults who made weak decisions they will continue making bad decisions. It is only children economic mobility that can help poor, if we enable children to have economic mobility we are winning. One child even in big family going right way can help a lot sisters, brothers, by setting example and providing further help.
That lens is not exactly inexpensive. I think it says more about the importance of a good lens.

...but recently began to appreciate the diverse and more curated set of topics discussed on Hacker News. Anyone with similar feelings?
Can you give me a resource to get started with devops. I have only heard these ideas, but don't have any clue why at all they are required.
We're not defenseless. The Ukraine just isn't part of either the NATO or the EU and not really close to the rest of Europe. If Russia was about to invade part of Finland the reaction would be quite different.
Or rather that every child is born equal and that its intelligence, skills, behaviour and success is solely the result of its education and social environment, DNA is assumed to play no part in our brain, and therefore if any deviation is observed, it must be the result of social factors, and therefore unjust.
Firebase's free tier is more than enough to play with an idea, and the next tier up is (100k concurrent users) $25/month ... if that's too expensive then there's something very wrong with your pricing model. Obviously this assumes you're not storing much data per user - you wouldn't build a imgur clone with it - but it's not that expensive for any typical SaaS app.
Well, no signage is really easy because we have the base rule of yielding to traffic coming from right. It works fine in a mesh of small residential streets where you can expect all of the intersections to work the same way.

The problem I have with this is that I have no idea whether any given intersection in town is going to have signs or not. I can make educated guesses that work well most of the time, but I'd prefer to make fewer guesses in traffic. If you don't have a yield sign, you have to look out for the gray backside of a yield sign for the road on the right. It may or may not be there. Depending on angle, position, background, weather, dirt, snow, ..., it can be hard to spot.

I don't know how much people pay attention. I get the impression that locals simply memorize each intersection. This can lead to some interesting scenes when the signs and rules are changed.

When you're in a new place, well, you're stuck scanning for the backsides of yield signs again. I find it rather stressful; it'd be nicer to be able to fully focus on the traffic and lanes & route ahead.

Here's one example. The street on the right looks smaller than the road ahead, so you can make the educated guess that they have to yield. And indeed they do -- you find the triangle sign on the lamp post just beyond the crosswalk.

https://www.google.com/maps/@62.2487495,25.7497856,3a,75y,13...

Another small street on the right. You can, again, guess that they have the yield sign, but you cannot see it until you're very close to the intersection as the brick building is blocking the view. It's a 40kph road where locals often go a little faster. At that speed, you may kinda have to slam the brakes to yield to sudden incoming traffic. If you're not local, do you drive the speed limit and trust your instinct, or do you brake after every block to figure out who's going to yield?

https://www.google.com/maps/@62.3236831,27.8983542,3a,75y,14...

Same town, different street. The stubby little street on the right might look like a small parking lot, but it's not. And they have no yield sign. Even the locals regularly fail to yield around here. Luckily the speed limit here is only 20kph so it's not particularly dangerous. Shame that's not true of all the intersections that lack the signs where you'd expect them to be.

Two immediate ways spring to mind, but it's a fundamental feature of my nature and I feel its influence in many of the things I do.

* Liking (and therefore being good at) taking tests was useful in getting me into Cambridge, for example, and then in doing well at Cambridge.

* I can feel The Desire To Pass Tests unfolding within me during interviews, like Harry James Potter-Evans-Verres's dark side, and it definitely helps: my Test-Taker enjoys interviews, however scared I might be of them, so I just let the Test-Taker take the interview instead of me.
Don't know about GP but in a similar setup I use keycloak.

Your mistake was in thinking that Microsoft actually cared about Skype. The acquisition was subsidized/paid off by the NSA, which had been wanting Skype to be owned by an American company for a while:

Microsoft put Skype into the PRISM program one month after announcing it was acquiring it:

and erlangs BEAM is written in C? so... it all doesn't mean much. Though the wording here sort of implies erlang is playing a supervisory role?
This isn’t very surprising, this is exactly the kind if stuff Erlang was created for. It’s the right tool for this particular job.
How much learning curve if One doesn't know Erlang to get speed up in phoenix?
I keep on running into this problem where I try to use a new framework/language for backend, like Go, Kotlin, even Node, but I just get so damn bored with writing the same boilerplate. Say what you will about Rails, but at least the maintainers try to automate the boring parts. Not to mention between Elastic Beanstalk, Heroku and even plain old Capistrano on a VPS, deploying Rails is a breeze. Maybe some people take some perverse joy from writing CRUD operations for the millionth time, but I don't.
" simply because those traits are hereditary"

I think by far the most important traits are cultural and behavioural.

'Intelligence' is a small thing.

Grit, self-discipline, conscientiousness, curiosity, disposition, manners, curiosity, ethics, integrity, attitude towards education, planning for the future, views towards family etc. etc. I think are far more important than raw intelligence.

Of course if your parents are CEO's in industry, they're going to expose you to that and the frame of mind necessary, much like so many actors parents are also actors/directors/creatives etc..
You would disclose what you know, along with prior art. The company's patent attorney makes a call (along with applicable liabilities) whether it's patentable, USPTO makes a call whether it's patentable, and maybe eventually the court makes a call whether it's a valid patent. You do your part (as part of the employment contract), but probably do not get to decide whether it's patentable or not.

Worse Than Demonetization: Anti-Gay Ads on LGBTQ+ Videos
That's too absolute a statement. If you're really good at a subject but terrible at taking tests, you can still do really well in a test by pure brute ability. But one of the money quotes from the blog post is:

> When my friends said I was a “genius,” I would sort-of-joke that I didn’t know anything but could score 75% on any test with a Scantron.

Test-taking is an ability that you can train (and, like any ability, some people enjoy exercising it and some do not), which in a select few situations can substitute for mastery of many other skills. Those select few situations also happen to be pretty common in the Western world.
just learn docker and kubernetes, it just takes a couple of udemy courses.. it will make everything sooo much easier
I haven't heard of Facebook having a reputation for abruptly shutting platforms down. On the contrary, I believe its widely accepted that they handled the shutdown of Parse very gracefully. Year+ notice, with significant open sourcing and community efforts to maintain continuity.
LOL. You are not one of the people I hold responsible for holding back this technology.

I am just expressing my extreme frustration at how something that could save millions of people is being held back because certain people are excessively cautious. I would like them held responsible for the deaths they are responsible for.
The headlines at that time were largely sensational. Some precisions were made later: the seeds were never in danger, only the beginning of the tunnel was flooded. The tunnel is long and it is there precisely for this reason.
As the title says, it's an invitation from a committee. It's not a summons from a court or anything with power like that. If Apple don't want to go for any reason or no reason at all then they don't have to.
> As an Android developer I'm biased, but it's important to remember that there literally would be no Android if it weren't for Google.

This is an appeal to pity. [1]

As someone who knew Android before it was bought by Google I'd like to disagree on that one:

"In July 2005, Google acquired Android Inc. for at least $50 million." [2] Yes, Andy Rubin had money issues, but OTOH it was seen as a competitor already at that point. Some details with sources on that in [2] as well.

Furthermore, if Android did not became popular perhaps Maemo did or Symbian remained and Nokia didn't die. Who knows.

Flutter is very much in beta still for the next couple months at least, so you'd expect that.

If I was choosing between RN and Flutter as something to learn, assuming I had no prior experience in either, then Flutter is probably a better choice. I'm sure there are arguments both ways though, but Flutter is very 'solid' for lack of a better term.
How is it possible that you sftp the new binary while the sever is running?
It won’t let you because the file is in use.
I never said to ignore the question.

Experiments require resources which are limited.
And after the falsification of intelligence genes, it makes sense to find a psychological cause for delay of gratification first, and test other logical explanations second.

Edit: I was wrong. Reading Wikipedia article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heritability_of_IQ), it seems intelligence is related to both genes and enviroment.
The idea is to automate repetitive tasks as much as you can because doing them by hand takes time and is error-prone. Build, deployment and testing are tasks that are well suited to automation.
What exactly is the benefit of using sqlite over mysql in this case?

Is the 10-15 minutes you might save looking up a quick setup tutorial for the system provided packages really worth the later problems? Postgres is slightly more complex (but pays for itself with additional capabilities), so I can see avoiding that unless your are already familiar with it.

As for PHP, at this point it's not really any easier or harder to get up initially then Python, Ruby or Perl, so it really comes down to personal experience. Whichever one you know best, use it. Whichever framework you know best that has some solutions for what you want to do, use it. That will be quickest.
> As one simple issue, I'm pretty sure Android uses Google's DNS and that is hard to change.

I'm pretty sure it runs the DNS you specify though your ISP might mangle the packets to their own DNS (Vodafone NL used to do this and also tunnel HTTP traffic into their transparent proxy; not sure if they still do).

However this is a non-issue if you're OK running a VPN server. I use WireGuard to use my home network's Pi-Hole which applies filtering. I also get insight on data traffic from the device via DPI feature on my router. Though the WireGuard Android package isn't complete yet the good part of the story is WireGuard doesn't take many resources. When I did this with OpenVPN in the past my phone would get so hot it hurted to touch it at some spots (granted though it was in summer but still not good for battery).
I, on the other hand, am completely devoid of any desire to take or pass tests or perform for grader's/test takers, yet subjectively, I'd rate myself out to the right on the delayed gratification ability.

The first created/creates significant problems in engaging with formal schooling: when I was younger I began simply not turning up to class or participating in assessment. It created the awkward situation where I did do a national standardised test one day and topped the year group for maths, but received a failing grade for maths class. In uni, the pattern essentially repeated itself. I (correctly) percieved the test taking and assessment as pedagogically irrelevant, and deviated from the course curriculums where my interests and own study took me.

Delayed gratification however IS an important skill. One that, almost mathematically by definition, must give an advantage since it has an absolute advantage over the alternative. A person capable of delayed gratification has a greater range of possible options and strategies to achieve their goals, and can always opt for immediate gratification where it is appropriate, whereas a person incapable of delayed gratification can partake in no such choice.

If empirical attempts to measure the effect of delayed gratification show no advantage therefore (assuming successful experiment design), there's actually another troubling possibility: society is (now) basing the distribution rewards and outcomes on those behaviours that are not determined by delayed gratification.
The study and article literally say that kids in a given socio-economic group have the same life outcomes whether the grab the marshmallow or not.

And not just here but the notion that hereditary wealth correlates to intelligence has been endlessly refuted.

But if it were true, wouldn't it mean that blue counties, being richer than red counties, have a much higher average IQ?
Yes you can easily REPL into a live remote server and work with it while it is running. But more typically, the REPL-driven development happens on your own machine while you build, and then you just deploy the whole app. But it can be useful for remote debugging when necessary.

For distributed computing across multiple machines, you are right that the actor model has an edge there. Most applications don't require that, however. There is however Onyx and other tools for this in Clojure:

http://www.onyxplatform.org/index.html

I think the choice between Clojure and Elixir really comes down to how much your particular idea or requirement genuinely depends on the actor model. The vast majority of applications don't specifically require that, in which case you have more flexibility.
We hear the voice of those who live there, but not of those who visit. Both are likely to be citizens, it seems one-sided to give in to the demands of one group, and ignore the other. (Or perhaps both were listened to, but the article gave no indication of that.)
Exciting to see a video referencing the MERLIN paper!

I hope Deepmind decides to release the code. The paper outlines the architecture well, but reproducing RL results is very tricky. With so many interlinked neural networks in the closed loop, it'll be slow going to isolate failures due to bugs from unfortunate hyperparameter selection or starting seed..

I'd still like to try, though!
So does Switzerland where the norm is still to send off children to kindergarden alonr at age 6. Or in Japan where 7 year olds take responsibility over 4 year olds going there (with some adults also warching the crossings). There‘s many ways increasing child safety that don’t mandate parents to helicopter.

Any developer can get an interview at google or FB as long as you have a CS degree. It’s 2018 and their goal is to interview EVERYONE. No more pick and chose. Who ever cracks their stupid and useless “technical” interviews has the “ability” to work for them. Your past experiences or real skills don’t matter at all. Or I shoud say - won’t help you during the interview process because it’s a tough exam. Bill Gates could fail, zuckerberg could fail as well as Sergey or Larry. Which also means, anyone can succeed the interview process.

If that’s what you want, my suggestion would be to memorize as many algo/solutions as possible and to spend 3 months writting complex functions on a whiteboard. Be prepared to fail the interview process at least once. Many FB/Google employees failed at least once before getting a job their.

Amazon? That’s good for you.. go for it and learn as much as you can for your next gig. Don’t forget to separate the interview process from the real work experience. These are 2 different things and in 2018 you better master both. One will get you a job and the other one will help you keep that job.
This comparison goes further - the vast majority of people who want to be actors suck at being one. Or musicians. Or writers. Or any other artists. Few who have talent/luck/x-factor get money and fame, the rest wash out.

Yet, somehow, it's believed that games are completely different and everyone who wants to make games is good enough to be able make living off it.
