> React probably allows this sort of thing, too, but the documentation for Vue pointed it out first thing.

That's actually a pretty good difference I hadn't really thought about from the other perspective. React does a good job explaining the how and why, but is a bit more clinical leaving the last-mile as an exercise to the reader whereas Vue seems a bit more focused on coaching you.

I, personally, found Vue's documentation to be a bit less in-depth than I like and hadn't considered folks would prefer Vue's.
Audio might be used to locate users that are nearby (and hear the same sound). Or to detect what TV program/radio/music is the user listening to. Both of these of course are invasion into user's privacy.
Shock at different toilet habits is actually the least racist and more understandable reaction. But some of his assertions are indefensible:

> “I noticed how little difference there is between men and women; I don’t understand what kind of fatal attraction Chinese women possess which enthrals the corresponding men to such an extent that they are incapable of defending themselves against the formidable blessing of offspring”

and

> “It would be a pity if these Chinese supplant all other races. For the likes of us the mere thought is unspeakably dreary.”

White supremacists could easily hold these views as well.
The article doesn't address that, but I have to assume they're talking about non-normalized scores.
IMO that's not quite the same. Doing physics isn't "believing" in physics, but sure keeping yourself focused on something goes a long way.

Just to be clear - users had to give explicit permission for that status update recording feature back in 2014. There are no external apps that can record audio on Android without permission unless Google explicitly whitelists the permission for the app. This never happens because there is no use case where the user shouldn't know.

One bad thing about this system for Android is how much control Google has over permissions - for example, their own built-in Shazam...
I see Nim as inhabiting an interesting space between Lisp and Python/Ruby/Perl.

I wouldn't say Nim is "radical", but it is interesting in that it combines ideas in a way that I've not seen in other languages. Whether or not it really takes off, it's a good thing that it's around - if nothing else, it's a slightly easier way for devs who work primarily in higher-level languages like Python and Ruby to encounter concepts they might not otherwise encounter, like macros and a complex type system.

Why Your Team Should Be Doing Code Reviews
Well to be honest I believe you underestimate humanity. There are way too many instances of clans who would fight till nearly both parties were eradicated. Regardless of that I am not convinced that is the root cause.

I feel this whole theory misses some key elements of our ancestors. First the idea that each male was able to reproduce at the same rate or had the same opportunity to breed as each other; this is not how nature really works! For most mammals only a few males get to bread each year with ALL the females in a herd. The alpha male will do the overwhelming majority of the breading for X number of years until displaced, i.e. dies of natural causes or is violently displaced. Our ancestors were most likely not very different. This, in my opinion, could be one of the reasons women in a group will synchronize their menstrual cycles, as it would help to ensure the male could bread everyone in a short time period and not worry about competitors sneaking in as much.

Also the idea that there were equal number of men and women needs to be looked at. Again, in nature, there is generally way more females then males. A healthy and diverse herd is considered to be around 70% female and 30% male.

I know a quite prominent MENSA member and according to him IQ tests are a fundamentally flawed way of measuring intelligence.

Not only are there different types of intelligence but more importantly, the current methodology is actually a test of one's ability to solve a very narrow type of puzzles. This can be practised effectively increasing your score significantly.

Does becoming good at puzzles mean I got any wiser?
I could not agree more with you. So many folks here seem to be missing the actual utility of D3 and why it still remains relevant and useful in todays JS/Web landscape.

If you need standard stuff, there are plenty of awesome plotting libraries that utilize D3 on the back-end while abstracting the complexity away from you. Some even try to give you some amount of flexibility and composability to customize them, but they are always going to have limitations compared to the raw power and flexibility you have if you roll your own D3 visualization.

You can't have it both ways, and that's something a lot of people don't seem to understand. If you're absolutely sure that a visualization library can support all your requirements, then it is absolutely the easier way to go about doing things. But you just have to be really sure that your requirements aren't going to change past the limitations of the visualization library of choice.

I think journalists may care because they come from universities which teach postmodernist 'deconstruction'. Basically, they are looking for a reason to dismiss everything that western culture has ever built.
> I will just remind you that there is a thing called a carbon cycle. Carbon is absorbed from the atmosphere. Carbon is not a poison, but is instead, a fundamental component of all life on earth. It does not accumulate forever, but instead, is reabsorbed back out of the atmosphere at some often debated rate. Climate scientists know this, but people who drop the "horrific" bomb, generally do not.

That's not only patronising, it's completely irrelevant when we are currently producing more carbon dioxide than can be absorbed by all of the world's carbon sinks, and so additional carbon dioxide being produced means more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Sounds like a really bad IQ test. I took a Mensa IQ test once, and all the questions were grids, 3x3, with various patterns in all cells except the lower right one, and 6 (I think) offered answer patterns. You pick the one that you think best fits into the overall pattern of the grid. Such a test seems much better to me, since it does not depend on what you know, though I guess even that might have some issues. Many popular IQ tests are really full of trick questions that mostly depend on whether you've seen the trick before...

I think people in those days had a very exaggerated idea of the scale of genetic differences between people of different ethic groups. Nowadays we know such differences are a rounding error and that looking at differences in genomes between individuals, those attributable to ethnicity are generally a minority. Back then, this wasn't known.

EDIT - I had a bit of a laugh at the quote about the Chinese supplanting other races. I'm a WASP, but my wife is Chinese and our kids are pretty obviously half Chinese.
> videogames matured as a narrative medium

Did they really?

I agree things are more 'cinematic', but text based adventures were arguably just as 'narrative' if not more so, and these are some of the earliest games in existence.

Then there were the 'graphical adventure' games like kings quest, etc which were hugely popular, then things like 'tomb raider', and so on.

taking these as a lineage, one can say it's really just the presentation that has matured, which one could then say makes the argument a 'technological view'..

Racism? I took for granted this was about aliens.
Those statements boil down to "I think Chinese people are ugly". Do men have a moral obligation to find women of all races beautiful?
That's the right point of view, in my opinion. Unfortunately many people tend to take the word of intellectuals outside their realm of expertise. I'm sure you've heard arguments about religion which mentioned Einstein's remark that "God doesn't play with dice" (it doesn't help that people frequently misunderstand this quote, but even if they didn't: why would Einstein's religious beliefs -- or lack of them -- matter?).
Everyone has demons, different faces we show different people, and a face we show no one.

Exactly. Microsoft won't tell their enterprise customers that their crypto now runs in a browser and is no longer compliant with the standards of their industries. They would lose almost all of their sales revenue if they did that.
Can you share some works one can do with Nim?
In TFA it says this drop in IQ was detected because of tests done to people who sign up to the military. I’m talking about how there are more and more immigrants joining the military here as years pass and that if in Norway the same is happening it’s normal that IQ is dropping as I expect immigrants to have a lower IQ than natives.
Probably, but it will be a 48-team field in the 2026 World Cup.
Perhaps you don't give a f* anymore?
I discovered this recently: https://typesense.org/ Very nicely done and might be useful for learning from.
There's certainly an advantage to taking IQ tests if you come from a culture that values abstract thoughts relatively highly compared to concrete thoughts. This is all based on Norwegian data and if there were some huge cultural shift in Norway I might not know. But usually when you see big changes it's adding iodine to the salt, or lead in the environment, or famines, or disease or something like that. Seriously, iodizing salt added 10 points to the IQs of Americans around the great lakes where iodine deficiency had been a big problem.

And generally if it was a matter of shifting cultural environments I'd hope that would be obvious from looking at the subtest scores.

Is there a good entry point into quake mods these days?

When I was a kid in 1996 I toyed with Quake C but really had no idea what I was doing. I'd love to toy with mods again but not really sure if there is a good way to get started. Most of the resources I knew of 22 years ago are gone or significantly outdated.
Sure but if I'm not mistaken they would gain 4 additional Senators (collectively) which would theoretically 'balance' the fracturing and likely loss of democrat house seats and/or electoral votes. Democrats have a greater disadvantage in the Senate currently so this could be good for them in the short term- they could swing the Senate under the current Congress which is a huge deal.

I don't have an opinion on whether that's better or worse, but there are pros and cons. I doubt it will happen but it's a more plausible debate than succession at least.
> "It would be a pity if these Chinese supplant all other races. For the likes of us the mere thought is unspeakably dreary."

What if he is just implying that the loss of global racial diversity would be dismal, given that Chinese dwarf all other races in the world by a large margin? FWIW I know this is unlikely given the context of this post.

This tutorial obviously only scratches the surface of what is possible in Nim. If you want to dig deeper I recommend reading through the learnxinyminutes entry, along with maybe https://xmonader.github.io/nimdays to see some examples. Then of course the official tutorials.

I had to take a mandatory course where we wrote a simple flat-file db in x86 assembly, complete with a simple console-based interface. I’ve rarely needed to even look at assembly professionally, let alone write a real db, but I fully agree with the tweet.
Cython is compiled C that uses CPythons objects. If you can distill your algorithm to a full C(ython) implementation, you get CPython objects + C code, which is then compiled with the (appropriate version of the) system compiler.

So for example, from this little Cython code:

def cy(int x):
return x + 1

You get the following C code:

/* Python wrapper */
static PyObject *__pyx_pw_6hworld_1cy(PyObject *__pyx_self, PyObject *__pyx_arg_x); /*proto*/
static PyMethodDef __pyx_mdef_6hworld_1cy = {"cy", (PyCFunction)__pyx_pw_6hworld_1cy, METH_O, 0};
static PyObject *__pyx_pw_6hworld_1cy(PyObject *__pyx_self, PyObject *__pyx_arg_x) {
int __pyx_v_x;
PyObject *__pyx_r = 0;
__Pyx_RefNannyDeclarations
__Pyx_RefNannySetupContext("cy (wrapper)", 0);
assert(__pyx_arg_x); {
__pyx_v_x = __Pyx_PyInt_As_int(__pyx_arg_x); if (unlikely((__pyx_v_x == (int)-1) && PyErr_Occurred())) __PYX_ERR(0, 1, __pyx_L3_error)
}
goto __pyx_L4_argument_unpacking_done;
__pyx_L3_error:;
__Pyx_AddTraceback("hworld.cy", __pyx_clineno, __pyx_lineno, __pyx_filename);
__Pyx_RefNannyFinishContext();
return NULL;
__pyx_L4_argument_unpacking_done:;
__pyx_r = __pyx_pf_6hworld_cy(__pyx_self, ((int)__pyx_v_x));

/* function exit code */
__Pyx_RefNannyFinishContext();
return __pyx_r;
}

static PyObject *__pyx_pf_6hworld_cy(CYTHON_UNUSED PyObject *__pyx_self, int __pyx_v_x) {
PyObject *__pyx_r = NULL;
__Pyx_RefNannyDeclarations
__Pyx_RefNannySetupContext("cy", 0);
/* … */
/* function exit code */
__pyx_L1_error:;
__Pyx_XDECREF(__pyx_t_1);
__Pyx_AddTraceback("hworld.cy", __pyx_clineno, __pyx_lineno, __pyx_filename);
__pyx_r = NULL;
__pyx_L0:;
__Pyx_XGIVEREF(__pyx_r);
__Pyx_RefNannyFinishContext();
return __pyx_r;
}
/* … */
__pyx_tuple_ = PyTuple_Pack(2, __pyx_n_s_x, __pyx_n_s_x); if (unlikely(!__pyx_tuple_)) __PYX_ERR(0, 1, __pyx_L1_error)
__Pyx_GOTREF(__pyx_tuple_);
__Pyx_GIVEREF(__pyx_tuple_);
/* … */
__pyx_t_1 = PyCFunction_NewEx(&__pyx_mdef_6hworld_1cy, NULL, __pyx_n_s_hworld); if (unlikely(!__pyx_t_1)) __PYX_ERR(0, 1, __pyx_L1_error)
__Pyx_GOTREF(__pyx_t_1);
if (PyDict_SetItem(__pyx_d, __pyx_n_s_cy, __pyx_t_1) < 0) __PYX_ERR(0, 1, __pyx_L1_error)
__Pyx_DECREF(__pyx_t_1); __pyx_t_1 = 0;
__Pyx_XDECREF(__pyx_r);
__pyx_t_1 = __Pyx_PyInt_From_long((__pyx_v_x + 1)); if (unlikely(!__pyx_t_1)) __PYX_ERR(0, 2, __pyx_L1_error)
__Pyx_GOTREF(__pyx_t_1);
__pyx_r = __pyx_t_1;
__pyx_t_1 = 0;
goto __pyx_L0;

That compiles and becomes part of a C-extension that you can load with "import module" from within Python.
At least hopefully nobody will somehow look at this as an excuse for their own racist agenda (i.e. look, such a greatly respected person has also been so racist, why can't I?)

Lets hope it, although I am afraid, there will be persons who use it as an excuse or even some sort of scientific evidence or proof. I.e: "See even one of the smartest person walked on this earth finds Chinese gross this must proof something about the Chinese right?!"
'Search' might be solved, but 'find' isn't.
Without taking any sides in this particular case, i highly recommend everyone read Intellectuals and Race[1] by Thomas Sowell. It is a concise, well researched, and largely damning look at how the same intellectual class that is leading the charge of globalized western morality (particularly in regards to enforced diversity, ethnic erasure, race based policies, and identity/victimhood politics) is cut from the very same cloth of their predecessors in the early 20th century (the Progressives) who championed Social Darwinism, racial segregation, and eugenics. He draws many parallels between the two groups, including but not limited to the perceived unanimity of thought amongst the "greatest, leading minds," the utter incomprehensibility by the status quo to even consider dissenting ideas, the ostensible moral superiority, and the faith based reliance upon unproven assertions. It is a brief and powerful read. Regardless of one's politics, Sowell forces the reader to honestly confront preconceived notions not with emotional exhortation, but rather hard facts and verifiable data.

In case anyone doubts how revolutionary some of these games were, check out these fan letters from the Wolfenstein source:

As a former POW (Vietnam), I hesitated to play WOLF for over a
month after downloading as I feared flashbacks. I didn't want to
remember all that I had been through all those years ago, when, as
POW's, my friend and I decided an escape attempt would be better than
a slow death by torture and starvation.

My friend and I made crude maps and hoarded food. The day of the
escape we clubbed the guard with stones, took his gun and fought our
way through two levels of underground tunnels (only a few guards and
had to crawl). I made it, my friend didn't.

Dreams...NO! NIGHTMARES...YES!! However, the more I play
WOLF the less frequently I have nightmares. The chilling part is
turning a corner and seeing a guard with his gun drawn.

WOLF is a powerful game. Fearful as well. I believe that a
person should face the past. So... when I can play EPISODE 1
comfortably (no nightmares), I plan on ordering the full series.

There's also a letter from a Microsoft manager requesting a multiplayer version.

I would actually advise against anyone undergoing moderate mental health issues to avoid LSD, psilocybin and especially DMT (in fact, DMT should only be tackled by people with considerable experience with psychedelics and ONLY when it a good mental space, even then it can easily be a terrible and jarring experience).

Instead I'd probably nudge them towards MDMA perhaps under proper medical treatment until they can work through their issues and actually get to the underlying problem (if it is in fact something that therapy can work through and not some chemical imbalance that needs treated by chemical means).
Good languages are local maxima in the language design landscape. C is a good language. As is Python. And C#. There are many projects for which C or Python or C# are fine language choices.

Other languages have great ideas in them, but the languages themselves are a mixed bag. Perl, Java, C++. Perl inspired Ruby. Java inspired C#. But we haven't seen a good successor to C++ yet, probably because building a systems language is much more difficult than building an interpreted/scripting language.
> Credit card fraud and chargebacks online are brutal, and can sink many innocent and legitimate online small businesses.

Unless you're talking adult businesses, gambling or one of the other industries with known issues with card fraud and/or excessive charge-backs, they aren't a significant problem for legitimate businesses at all. Even a 1% charge-back rate is unusual enough that card providers will flag the retailer for investigation.

Scores are defined such that 100 is always the current average. But you can compare results to the actual questions today from a decade ago, and see what IQ people today would have gotten back then. This tells you how much IQ has drifted.

IQ used to go up a couple points each decade (known as the Flynn Effect), but this result shows that in more recent times it has been going down.

I really like the look of Nim and would love to see it gain some traction. Just wish I had the time to play with it more.
No details, and the proposed start date is after the proposed Brexit day: "The expanded route will launch in Spring 2019, further details will be announced in due course."
I'm almost at a loss for words. The web stack is frankly one of the worst ways to create a good UI. The best UI's typically have three key area's:

- It's easily discoverable by the user - The web is typically horrible at this. Custom controls, look and feel's, and a severe lack of common UI patterns. Native app's have this in spades.

- It's performant - Native wins this hands down everytime. The web stack lacks threading and one of the major keys is to NOT do work on the main thread for a great UI. The vast majority of web dev's have never even thought about threading.

- The design puts features in a place the user can easily and quick get to. This has little to do with the technology platform.

Bottom line is the web stack is at a MAJOR disadvantage for building a UI. The only use for it on mobile is that developers refuse to put in the work to learn how to do the platform justice.
I can say "I don't find most Chinese women attractive". Or I can say "Chinese women are so ugly, I cannot understand how people manage to reproduce in China". Do you see the difference? One statement is not racist and the other is.
Likewise. The whole idea seems to be based on the current California government failing its citizens. And yet California is arguably the most prosperous and successful state in the nation. Why mess with that?

I’m pretty sure the answer to that rhetorical question is, because that success and prosperity has happened under liberal policies.
Nim isn't a new language, it's been around a while.
Searching is easy enough but scoring the value of what it finds is not! Is an answer on Stackoverflow valuable because the poster has 100K reputation? (no!) Was the information valid 10 years ago but completely irrelevant now? Is this programming blog post very specific to Drupal and not relevant to other PHP frameworks? Was it information taken from somewhere else? (I would rather send traffic to the original).

Another problem is how to search for something when you don't understand it enough to search for it or you can't think of distinct enough words or phrases to search for it.
