React UI? Smalltalk already had Observer and event messages.

java.util.Observable exists since version 1.0.

Interfaces are lousily based on Objective-C categories, and the first edition of "Component Software: Beyond Object-Oriented Programming" using Component Pascal, COM, Java was published in 1997.

The second edition added C# examples.

Which are concepts that now everyone is discussing as Entity–Component System.

Our field would be much better if there was less pop culture and more book/paper reading.

Seems to polarise opinion somewhat, but Lord Sugar [1] in the UK grew up on a Council Estate (social housing), started off selling odd electricals door-to-door, founded Amstrad [2] (which at one point traded on the FTSE100), and is currently worth ~£1bn. Perhaps not the most deprived of upbringings, but certainly not born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

Every YouTube video has had AAC audio from the very beginning. Same goes for every Vimeo video, every Netflix video, every Hulu video, etc. Streaming audio services like Pandora use AAC too.

That's because AAC is the only format you can count on to work on all devices, and to be hardware decoded on all devices where battery life matters.
In Fermi's time, the perception was that an advanced civilization would have large powerful radio stations that could be detected from many light years away. Up until the 1930s, radio stations did indeed get bigger and bigger. But after WWII it became clear that many smaller stations are preferable over a few big stations. The trend started with FM radio and today we listen to radio using WLAN systems that barely cover the area of an apartment.

An advanced civilization has antennas that don't waste energy by beaming signals into space.

At least in North America, one thing I have seen is an increasing number of restaurants that have a vegetarian option that is decent. In the past it was always just a regular meat dish minus the meat, but it costs the same. Or worse, take a dish that gets most of it's flavor from the meat and then substitute tofu or some basic (e.g. carrots/potatoes) boiled/steamed vegetables, making a dish that is extremely bland. It's not a surprise that lots of people cannot even fathom how anybody could be vegetarian.

It seems to me that thanks to immigrants, fusion food, and cuisine from countries like India, people are starting to realize that you can add spices and flavors to any cuisine and make these dishes tasty without meat. In this way you have dishes that everybody can eat without feeling like the vegetarian options at restaurants are horrible. Instead, they can see something on a menu that actually looks appetizing and be willing to try it. There are more choices than just a meat-substitute.

Note that I'm referring at non-chain restaurants in more populated areas, or newer or smaller-chains. The large chains still think a baked potato with cheese is a vegetarian entree.

I also think that a lot of times vegetarian/vegan American food has been synonymous with things like raw, super-healthy, vegetable smoothies, etc. So it's bland and basically only for people who specifically want that kind of food. Even that changing, and you can find 100% vegetarian restaurants with food that is fried, has salt/sugar/spices, and is just generally super tasty while not being that healthy. Basically, the reason why I like to eat out in the first place :)
A Swift Developer’s React Native Experience
For those who do calorie counting - how do you deal with all the work? E.g. if I want to make a sandwich, the process is

1. Find the nutritional information on the back of the bread bag. Enter that into the app.

2. Put slice of bread on the scale. Record weight, put into app.

3. Zero out scale with slice of bread still on it.

4. Put slice of ham on slice of bread, record weight. Enter into app... that brand of ham is not on the app.

5. Enter ham nutritional information into app. Enter ham slice weight into app.

6. Put a big amount of green salad on the sandwich. We're not counting the calories in that, but we need it to zero out the scale.

7. Put a second slice of ham on the sandwich, measure its weight, enter into app.

8. Put a second slice of bread, measure its weight, enter into app.

9. You have now spent 20 minutes making a sandwich and wrestling with an infuriating mobile interface for entering information.

And this is the most basic of foods. If I decide to actually cook something, things get super hairy, because I have to first measure the raw ingredients, then measure the weight of the cooked food, then divide the amount of calories in the ingredients by the weight of the cooked food to obtain calories/gram, then use that to calculate portion size. The ingredients I use are constrained in variety and quantity by what's available in my local stores, so I can't even make the exact same thing every time, so I have to repeat this process every day.

It also meant I couldn't eat out at most restaurants, because there was no nutritional information available, which is the point when I gave up trying to count calories, because having to make everything from scratch myself, while also measuring and entering ingredients in the app means spending 2-3 hours per day on just making food, which is time I don't really have.

Thank you for writing this book and providing it as a free resource for the audience that I have in mind. I downloaded your book and plan to work through it in its entirety. Coincidentally I am studying linear algebra, so this is a perfect resource for me. The coverage of your material looks very good, so I am excited to work through it.
Right. Its really hard to predict this kind of shifts in processes, or how processes that you're relied on for a long time have been made obsolete. When that happens, big businesses have an especially hard time because they're usually not agile enough to reorient themselves/adopt new processes quickly enough.

A peer commenter mentioned IBM. As an ex-IBM'er, I certainly think that is true. The team I worked on adopted agile methodologies (which I think has been largely adopted in the emerging tech teams). But you could still see remnants of old processes and incentives, like a weird emphasis on writing patents. That was kinda shocking to me as a SE to see a patent writing as a part of my job, but I realized it was a holdover from earlier times. Ultimately, while I enjoyed my time there, broken processes for recognizing contribution was among the most important reason I jumped ship.
BMI = kg/m^2. (Weight divided by height). It doesn’t account for the composition of the person whatsoever.
True, but I'd still consider that to be lying to themselves, rather than lying to us.

If the story is true, the likely reality is they're not counting their calories so they don't realize they ended up eating fewer calories than they were before. They just think they're eating more because they didn't realize how many they were consuming before.

I don't make the accusation of lying lightly. We're dealing with a new account making wild claims that break the laws of physics and could have serious impact on someone's health, claims made in the face of all available science. Whether they believe it to be true or not, it's a lie.
You pretty much just have to demonstrate the benefits to the maintainers of a few major distros and that it should be the default and the rest will follow to avoid breaking interop.

Two major releases is a safe bet from the time the decision is made so <10 years.
Lots of people don't believe that bodies follow the laws of physics. I have friends that have told me with a straight face that it's possible to gain weight while having a caloric deficit if you're not eating the "right" food.
You keep saying that as if human bodies are batteries and we perfectly break down all calories and nutrients in all food.

Eating two oranges vs. drinking a glass of those two oranges' juice will yield very different results on the body, both in terms of how hungry you are, and how the nutrients are broken down.

Edit: I recommend giving "Sugar: The Bitter Truth" a watch. It's an excellent talk and should be available freely on youtube.

Edit 2: Furthermore, we don't burn calories at equal pace every day, even given the same amount of effort/exercise. Metabolism change means even passively you burn calories at different intensities on different days. These mechanisms result in significant differences between people.
But what's the net result?

I have an employee who easily fits into the grouch/giver category. Yeah, he can be a pain, but often his complaints/attitude stem from the fact that he actually cares about what we do and how we do it.

It does require my time to smooth over certain interactions, expose him to the right people (and hide him a bit from others), and generally manage his mood a bit. However, what I get from him outweighs all of that and he's generally a great employee.

I'd much prefer him to an agreeable person who is mediocre at their job. In the end this person saves us all time.
So as someone working in reinforcement learning who has used PPO a fair bit, I find this quite disappointing from an algorithmic perspective.

The resources used for this are almost absurd and my suspicion is, especially considering [0], that this comes down to an incredibly expensive random search in the policy space. Or rather, I would want to see a fair bit of analysis to be shown otherwise.

Especially given all the work in intrinsic motivation, hierarchical learning, subtask learning, etc, the sort of intermediate summary of most of these papers from 2015-2018 is that so many of these newer heuristics are too brittle/difficult to make work, so we resort to slightly-better-than brute force.

I’m neither of those and fall into the same “edge case”.
Believe but cannot prove:

Intelligent life on Earth is (effectively) unique. By "intelligent", I mean capable of purposefully leaving our gravity well.

Residing in the goldilocks zone isn't enough. There needs to be external forces causing constant adaptation. Otherwise life will reach an equilibrium and evolve no further.

Our Earth has seasons, plate tectonics, periodic mass extinction events (asteroid strikes). Other less frequent causes are likely nearby supernovae and possibly our galactic arm passing thru a gamma radiation beam.

Even with constant evolution forcing habitats, a galaxy faring intelligence will be rare. As someone else noted, our saurian ancestors didn't stumble upon a tool building transmissible culture. There's just so many prerequisites.

Compare us to the octopus, likely the next most potent intelligent being on Earth, and certainly alien (to us). They are frikkin brilliant. But they unfortunately have no way to transmit, share their knowledge. And their life spans are probably too brief, birth rate too low.

I'm 25, and single. I'm very social, and I work out regularly. But I find it hard to approach women in the street, and I've always detested loud pubs (My hearing is slightly impaired, which makes it hard for me to communicate in such a place).
So I've decided to sign in to OKCupid.
I've always heard the dating scene in this site is toxic, but I've had no idea. I've too many toxic and horrible things written plainly in some users profiles ("I date only men with cars, I find it important to date gentlemen", "If you're of middle eastern origin - don't even bother sending a message") and been verbally abused in personal messages ("It's funny you've thought you have a chance with me", or another who've said "The only chance you've got with me is if your penis is 15 inches in length").
I was told I need to walk it off and don't let it get under my skin. But I can't. I've thought about quitting more than once, but the alternative is a status quo I've grown to hate.

But I'm an engineer, so I've decided to automate my OKCupid experience.

Using node & puppeteer I've run a histogram, it showed that in my country, 75% of the profiles are almost completely empty (less than 10 words).
I used to manually dislike these profiles (as they'll keep coming back in the search results until you dislike it), but now my script does it for me.
The next thing I've done was to sort these profiles - I give higher priority to profiles that have a longer word count, that features keywords I prefer ("fascinating", "studying", "reading", are words that I catch my attention).

It used to be a very basic script, but every negative and toxic encounter has motivated me to keep it going. Right now I'm working on building a frontend to show the script's results. I'm planning on showing "suggested openers" based on the questions the potential match has said or mentioned and adding NLP features (such as sentiment analysis).
Any analysis aside, the introduction chapter (chap. 1) is really pleasant to read.

> You might say that we’re not a certain number of years away from a working fusion power plant, but rather about $80-billion away (in worldwide funding).

That's a surprisingly small number for the impact nuclear fusion could make. I wonder why we haven't seen any billionaires taking up the challenge, even though this might be more impactful than space tourism or people on mars.
The question is: do new adults (think 18-24 year olds) buy desktops or laptops?
I understand that, the point I was trying to make is the "I gained that back over the holiday" isn't actually gaining the weight back, it's just putting more carbs and salt into your body so the scale goes up, but the fat levels likely didn't change.

I understand they were dancing around saying "I didn't lose anything", I was just trying to make the point that they likely didn't gain much either. Tiny fluctuations like that happen more around water weight than fat weight.
Heck, I'm a gamer, and I'm still using a rig with an i5-2500K at its core.

That's just not where the bottlenecks are anymore, even for games.

You should look into the ingredients for those rotisserie chickens. Not something I would consider as part of a healthy diet.
To be fair, prior Intel issues were mitigated, and even if they couldn't be there might be limited reasons to think that prior issues will impact future sales without sufficient competition in the market. If it turns out that these older Intel chips can't be used for cloud computing anymore then it might just mean that cloud providers like Amazon take a hit but Intel makes a gain in selling them new chips.

And Facebook privacy issues are frequently panic'd about briefly and then forgotten. Markets doing that pretty much mirrors the people who "delete facebook" every time there's a panic and then come back minutes later.

I somehow doubt that this system would perform so much better than e.g. removing air from a tyre or putting one of those metal boards under it that it would justify the increased complexity (and cost) over normal tires.

Ask HN: How to retain the knowledge of syntax
I am a self taught web developer, I have written a few full scale applications and fully understand OOP principles and MVC structures. I can write using Java, PHP, JS, and a few more to a good degree.

My problem is that when writing applications on my own I seem to find myself going back to specific syntax and constantly looking up methods I have used many times from either previous work or documentation in order to complete parts of code.

How would I go about better retaining the specific syntax/methods? Do I just need to continuously keep writing applications in order to memorize it, or should I have this in memory already and I am doing something wrong?

"Manufacturer Pantex Plant"

Hey, those are from Amarillo!

When I was about 20, I was out driving around and decided to see how fast my Oldsmobile could go, on a long, straight county road. Got up to about 110 and decided to slow down when I popped over a low hill and saw the road making a 90° right turn in front of a tall chain link fence with razor-wire on the top. I made the turn, but I assume emergency medical assistance would have arrived quickly---the fence was Pantex.
I wouldn't have a huge problem going a few days without food. It would suck, but honestly wouldn't impact my life in a negative way at this point.

My kids, however... even if there were no physical repercussions, the amount of distraction that them being hungry would create would effectively prevent my wife and I from getting anything done.

While it may seem tongue-in-cheek, I'm also serious. Keeping non-productive family members comfortable during a disaster is very important in that it allows the productive members to apply themselves to resolving the situation.

About a decade ago, my wife was breastfeeding our first daughter. She had also gotten ill with some sort of gastrointestinal bug, and her milk supply had all but stopped - during a major ice storm in north Arkansas, which took out our electricity for almost two weeks.

We didn't have an emergency fund at the time and had very little money in the bank. There was plenty of food and water at home, but we ended up driving a dangerous and nerve-wracking 50 or so miles over terrible roads, in an unreliable and unsuitable vehicle (a two-wheel-drive '98 Ford Ranger with nearly bald tires).

It all worked out well - I kept it on the road and we made it to a hotel near a hospital, my wife's illness cleared up, and we didn't even end up needing to see a doctor - but my point is that my dependents forced me into an action that otherwise would have been far too risky to take. Had it just been me, or even just my wife and I, we would have been content to drink our stored water, eat canned food cooked on a camp stove, and sleep on the floor in the living room in front of the gas fireplace. Adding a newborn to that equation changed things drastically.

Sorry for not replying sooner. She took it nightly yes (we are no longer somewhere with legal cannabis), but on the order of 5mg of THC (via edibles). It's not really enough to get her high, but it does help her stay asleep. The effect is more or less immediate and stopping takes away the effect more or less immediately.
