Ask HN: Best resources for teaching my 8 year old to code
Looking for feedback for resources and ideas on how to ease my son into coding. He loves Minecraft and has done hour of code. Now he's excited to build his own website. Any kid friendly options out there that cater to this?

I was thinking of setting up a Node server with hot reload so he can make changes and instantly see them while we go over some of the basics of HTML as a starting point, create a few pages and link them to each other. Having an immediate feedback loop will be important.
The USA tried to balance this with crazy tax rules and brackets, where you will get rewarded if you massively out-earn your partner. My buddy was actually lamenting the fact that his wife got a nice raise at the public library because it would actually mean less take-home money after tax day.
I really like the keyboard DESIGN. Initially, I despised the keystroke depth, because my hands hurt after typing on it. But once I stopped typing so hard, I found my speed increased, and I didn't have any pain.

That being said... I still despise the keyboard for how fragile it is. The slightest mote getting under the keys is enough to throw it off, and I've had so many problems with keys that stop working on the machines around the office. And don't get me started on the dang touchbar.

All in all, it's not worth the problems. I'm lucky being in IT, as I can put off "upgrading" my main machine for a while.

None, at the moment, considering China just instituted a plastic waste import ban.

But you're still implying that people are sending it to China in order to alleviate themselves of guilt, without China's consent. That's crap. They were conducting waste/recycling operations for business. If you agree to send plastic waste to China, then it's on China NOT to chuck the plastic in a river. Just because they're negligent doesn't make you liable.

When I was taking driver's ed as a teenager the instructor showed us a video that illustrated a driver's gaze from the first person as they drove using a small circle. The difference between a skilled, competent driver and a student was that the competent driver only fixated on things that were likely to matter. So mostly their gaze was on the vehicle in front of them, followed by any place that could hold moving objects and pedestrians, then briefly signage. In contrast, novice drivers' gaze was all over the road, the signage, pedestrians moving parallel to the road--in short they had no mental filter for their attention.
Yes. The problem is that it assumes that language is fixed. However, the correct way is to make emojis freely definable, so that the emoji language will continue to develop; of course, the unfortunate side-effect for character set maintainers would be that they have to expand the set in order to incorporate the new parts of the language. But that is their problem; you can't force a population to use a limited set of symbols.

The BBC would have been a licensee, but I can't see how without being assignee or creator you could use an unlawful copy. Orphaned work legislation appears to relate only to copies that are (apparently) lawfully created but for whom the copyright holder can't be traced; and it's notable that it seems orphaned works can't be used commercially in UK.

Yes, it's tortuous, but that doesn't mean it's lawful if the creators don't know of the tortfeasance. The criminality of copyright in UK is a mystery to me though.

The BBC have benefitted, as have the public, several times from individual archiving. It would be great if they'd take a stand for including it in fair dealing.

I really believe that what it will take is an actual business that makes actual money selling a laptop with good hardware and an integrated linux install that they maintain. Instead of getting into a flamefest on the ubuntu message board where you have a completely different set of hardware and drivers than the people you're debating, you file a support ticket that the audio on your IntegratedLinuxLaptop 5 seems to have stopped working, and someone at this company figures out what's wrong and patches the exact right driver or system software to fix it. If that doesn't sound like a viable business, well, that's why this is still a problem.

I think you are making the false dichotomy between a full stack developer working and a full stack developer working well on all three areas.

Few people says one person can't do it all. Few people say that nobody can do it. But we specialize in areas for a reason. It takes a lot to be an expect in an area, and multiple that by three and its even more work and time.

So sure, one person can do it all. Sure, one person can do it all well. But the later is much rarer than the former. And have specialized people for each area who can focus exclusively on their area is better.

So, if 500 people flag your post about fluffy unicorns as a death threat, it'll be checked in a few minutes instead of a week from now, but it'll likely be reviewed as OK and remain up the entire time.

They also have a house and some other tax complexities. You are probably right, but that kind of illustrates the ridiculous nuance with US tax law.
I can relate. Beyond the very basics, there's a lot of 'what' but not so much 'how', especially when it comes to combining pieces. Often when I have a hard time to achieve something, I don't know if it needs to be that hard or I'm just trying the wrong way. The code doesn't help much with that, because without a lot of experience, it's a maze. Everything is connected to everything, due to the nature of the framework. Either you need to understand it all, or you end up fighting it. I really want to like Django, but every time it's the same story. Nowadays I prefer frameworks and specialized libraries that are much lighter. Even if the documentation is more limited, I also need significantly less of it. Perhaps I'm doing more work than strictly necessary, but at least I feel in control. I'd much rather go slower and see where I'm going than quickly down a road that ultimately turns out to be a dead end. Django is reasonable good for beginners and great for experts. Being neither, it frustrates me.

PHP's concurrency model poses unique challenges to orms but in this case, it's just slow hydration that is the main culprit and that can happen in any language, especially interpreted ones. It's no longer just fetching data and displaying it but fetching, processing (in a slow interpreted language) and then displaying it.

That is one issue. I find the interface the orm provides to also be inferior in every way compared to sql so I just don't get why people would add something that provides even the tiny overhead you describe to get an inferior interface for dealing with the database. Some orms I've used create their own sql like language, so now there is something new to learn (that's useless outside the orm) that provides nothing over actual sql but has all the drawbacks of the orm and sql. Even working with simple objects and queries is more difficult as I hardly know what the orm is doing. When I do look at what it generates, it's always been atrocious in the orms I've used. In addition, trying to wrap my mind around the concepts the orm builds poorly on top of the relational database is truly angering. Taking a wonderful interface to a database and turning it into a set of nonsensical object relationships actually makes it more difficult and more time consuming to write the app with the orm. This is unnecessary complexity for complexity's sake, something proponents of simplicity avoid.

So my experience has not only been that of horrible performance but also that of a horrible ui that slows development to a crawl and creates apps that need to be rewritten to work properly, the exact opposite of what orm proponents claim. One of the main reasons I want to move to a functional language is that orms don't exist there.
Actual shipping costs aside, being a delivery channel is way harder for drugs than for most other things.

Amazon is reliable, sure, but what do they have - 99.9% fulfillment, 99% on time, 99% with authentic products, 97% of listed products in stock? Those are guesses, but apply those numbers to delivering vital daily medicines and the problem becomes pretty obvious.

Keeping in-stock rates high and "on time with authentic products" rates near 100% is not an easy task. It's not something pharmacies do perfectly either, but their shortages are generally at a store level rather than national, and they're not asking people to completely switch delivery mechanism to trust a space with online one provider.
So Twitter is censoring based on the CEO's views. That's exactly my point.
Nope. You basically want inline emojis, in Whatsapp, because that's the most popular messaging service. And you want to be able to click other people's emojis and save them to your own emoji library.
For most applications you can probably use a TCN (temporal convolutional network) instead of LSTM. TCN's are implemented in all major frameworks and work an order of magnitude faster because they are parallel.

Right, for now, but what about the future? The ingredients for diversity of language and culture are isolation and time. If you send some friends to the other side of a river, or a mountain, or a wall, or an ocean, or to a different planet, and then stop communicating much for a long time, languages will be newly created again. The question is not if, but when and why will this kind of isolation happen again.

> Inefficient Rendering (IR). This one was a surprise to me

He's talking about the common Rails pattern of rendering a small Haml/ERB partial over & over in a loop. I've noticed big perf hits from this before, but never completely understood why. Rendering the exact same result directly in the loop body, without calling a second partial, gives a big speedup.

There is an extensive discussion here:

https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/1571...

I would love to have some better understanding around this, although it sounds like no one has a clear idea of the cause.

In development, I've noticed that Rails re-reads the partial file off disk every iteration of the loop. I don't know if that happens in production too, but if so it would explain a lot.

> This is interesting because Amazon isn't exactly known for supply chain integrity.

The supply chain integrity problems were allowed by Amazon because it benefited their bottom line. If they wanted it perfect, they could have made it perfect.

Remember when the eclipse was happening and they actually did a pretty good job of removing all glasses which weren't safe? They know where integrity counts, and I think when it comes to pharmaceuticals they'll know how to play this game clean. As another user commented: Amazon didn't get this humongous by making silly mistakes like this.

UFC : The Chiquita banana company who lobbied for the "1954 Guatemalan coup d'état" - an operation to overthrow the democratically elected Guatemalan government. Why? The elected president policies were a threat to UFC's exploitative labor practices. CIA involved, Guatemalan government overthrown, dictatorial rule, civil war for decades.

The CIA even launched another operation to find the Soviet influence in Guatemala to justify the coup. The operation was a failure.

> Why wouldn't you want them to know that it's OK to space out vaccines...

Because it's not.

Spacing them out means they're getting some later, leaving them vulnerable longer. It also lends false credence to the idea that they're dangerous. In many cases, it may also mean kids miss out on the later doses, because repeated doctor visits to administer them may be unaffordable (copays) or difficult (scheduling, transportation, etc.). Multiple visits for shots also exposes them to germy pediatrician waiting rooms more frequently.
The problem is that inventory from different sellers is commingled unless the seller pays extra. So Amazon's controllers are in the same bin as the ones from Real Good Fakes Inc. Even if you buy from Amazon the actual product you get might have been supplied by Real Good Fakes.

> I regularly use BTC as alternative for international payments.

But how many people do this? I've sent like one international transfer in my entire life. I'd wager that the median number of international transfers among the US population is zero. In addition, BTC as a means for international transfer is totally decoupled from its price. If 1 BTC is $1 or $1m it works just as well for temporarily buying some and transferring it. This use case wouldn't really drive the price upwards.
