High-school dropout here. I was homeless for ~16 months around 2010. I knew I wanted to get into IT but I figured I should not pursue HTML, PHP or .NET jobs, as most schools and educations here taught exactly that. I knew I couldn't beat the competition, even though I had experience using those languages.

I went into *nix, Python and C instead. Hanging on IRC taught me hacker ethos and the lingo that comes with the work. Made friends, embedded myself in various communities. Got job offers through some communities.

First job was doing 50% support (servicedesk) and 50% Python. It was horrible at times. But I did have a job. I met a guy there that went out of his way to personally get me up to speed with Python/Linux - like a mentor. I worked there for a year but we always kept in touch since.

Fast-forward 8 years later; I can now actually code some decent stuff and that mentor just joined my team and we're reunited again. But that's off-topic.

TL;DR: Learn something that is in demand and be prepared to make sacrifices.
I can give you some immediate actionable advice if you need cash -

Write an email describing your situation (possibly with some photos) to tech agencies around you, there are usually plenty and let them know that if they require an extra helping hand, or take on additional projects, you'll be able to do it.

You'll be surprised how many agencies will get back to you. It worked for me when I was in a similar situation where I had to quit my day job as the company I worked for was on the edge.

Also, start a blog, update your LinkedIn, cold message people on email. LinkedIn really works if you don't listen to haters.

Good luck, my friend. Please let us know once everything's back to normal.

This likely won’t have huge concequences for Wikipedia, but they lost at least one donor.
GitHub has APIs for automation (eg via Terraform). Granted not ever web-based service does, but if you were sufficiently determined to use SSH CA then I'm sure you'd find a way (or an alternative service that did support your workflow).
The single best thing you can give your kid is the confidence to face the world alone.

Consequently, its one of the few things you can exert a modicum of control over as well ;-)

Let them burn their fingers, let them fall, let them do stupid shit and just be there to advise, help and guide them in a loving matter after the fact so they can learn and grow to become a confident, decent adult.
I live in Portugal, right next to a school from 5th to 9th grade (10-15 year old kids).

In the morning, you can see parents and grandparents outside the school fences watching the inside like it was some zoo! It's painful to watch. I went to that school and I know I would HATE it if my parents did it, and I live right next to it!

It's explainable if it's the kids first day of school, but you see this year round. I think this is happening more frequently, I don't remember seeing it as much some years ago.

I believe the cause is the same as in America: the news on TV focuses only on the crime and scandal, increasing the perception of danger, when it's actually decreasing.
NixOS made a big difference for me too.
I know the stats seemingly say different, but opiate addiction is a massive problem in the Netherlands too, and this doesn't seem to stop at the German border either.
Touring a county with 'special energy' using a 1939 guidebook
I walked to school 3 kilometeres one way since the first grade (6 years old). Nowadays I've seen kids of the same age who can't even tie their shoes. It is even more concerning considering authorities are actually reinforcing this. The world did not become more violent or dangerous, but somehow people became more scared and paranoid.
I was a big fan of Compute! and Compute's! Gazette as well.

There were also Ahoy! And Ahoy!'s AmigaUser:

I'd say it's not ironic at all. It's part and parcel of auto dominated society.
I am glad to hear that! However, the quick scan I did here of Thai and British airports showed almost every wifi point on _this list_ is a private one.
Yes, they can. You are simply wrong.
Scala 3 as a new Programming Language
Do you mean it just ships with support for a list of preset commands, or can it provide autocomplete for any command? (I have no idea how that could possibly work, mind)
Unfortunately too many people think this unironically. Looks like everyone is down voting you because you are exposing their core values.
Borrow away! Which parts are you thinking of, if I may ask?
You might like kakoune, a vim-like editor which focuses on interactivity: https://github.com/mawww/kakoune
It flips around a few of vim's operations (like for example, to delete a word, you do 'wd' and not 'dw'). This allows it to highlight the text before performing an operation, which makes what you're doing much clearer.
This can be, and probably is, automatically targeted by some simple pre-send hook. Basically, if you're trying to send >4 lines, automatically gist them and send URL instead.
> Followers of Shinto, unlike Judeo-Christian monotheists and the Greeks before them, do not believe that humans are particularly “special.” Instead, there are spirits in everything, rather like the Force in Star Wars. Nature doesn’t belong to us, we belong to Nature, and spirits live in everything, including rocks, tools, homes, and even empty spaces.

To me this looks like the most important paragraph.
The west (and I believe also China, India, Russia, and arab countries) do lack a vision of different being coexisting. Eventually we (and based on some popular light novel for boys, also china) have a vision of a Natural World in balance and Humans acting (either positively or negatively) on this balance.

This does not mean that we would hate robots or even aliens, just that we would (at a superficial level) need to shoehorn them into being either humans or not.
It's easy to tell people to "chill" when you live in a high trust society like Tokyo (where I've called home for over 3 years; I can't speak for the other cities mentioned).

I've not once feared for my own safety. Children as young as ~5 or 6 walk on my street alone or in small groups regularly, and they, likewise, have no reason to fear. There's even a culture of teaching your kid at a very young age to do things on their own. A regular TV show documents it (link with English sub: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4lme5a).

I spent 3 and a half years in San Francisco, and the difference is stark. People riding the bus grab their phones hard with one hand while using it with the other, for fear of it being stolen (as happened to a friend of mine). You would never leave your phone on a table while going to the bathroom unless you were with someone to watch it. If you lost your wallet, you'd be lucky if you got your driver's license back in the mail.

Are American parents overbearing as a group? Likely. But it's easy to criticize from afar if you've never lived in a low-trust society.
I think the value of the OP is the proposal that we can have web-like "terminal" that accepts text commands. It's very unlikely that clicking is the best way for human to communicate with machines.
Or, alternatively, come up with 1000 boring stipulations that will generally be true anyways. It'll make you look paranoid/vulnerable and harmless, lowering the chances their lawyers (or sales agent's assistant...) will notice Bullet Point #593.

It's how they get things through Congress...
Does it? I know it did 7 years ago on Linux clients, but AFAIR it doesn't now. It's definitely the feature I missed the most on Windows client.
See it positive. At least it's possible to encrypt the filesystem now.
I used that to build my initial fantasy soccer team, it wasn't too hard to pick up amd the results were quite good. The team ended up performing very badly in real life, but that's not Clingo's fault.
I stuck around for my kids friends birthday parties when he was 2-3 and didn’t want me to leave. Once I could leave him there without him crying (or even noticing), of course I got the hell out of there. Being in a room full of 5 year olds isn’t really my idea of a great Saturday. The parents hosting the party do the suffering, those are the rules.
Easiest alternative to ripping video lol. And it's legal!
No satellite service is mentioned in the GP comment. I expect they're just using a fixed 4G modem that has Wi-Fi.

Satellite services also generally consist of a box with a couple of LNB connectors on one end and an Ethernet socket on the other end that you'd run to a Wi-Fi router.

The likelihood you'll ever find a direct-wired satellite link built-in to one machine, outside of a ridiculou$ly-expen$ive military setting running equipment based of 15-year-old designs, is about 0.05%.
I think just 0 and 1 would suffice ;)
Coinbase does only offer three Coins. I think it would not make much sense to use multiple APIs.

Since CoinMarketCap is migrating its API to a professional one, I am looking forward to chsnge the used API to the one of Coingecko. I could offer more than 3000 coins instead of 1300.
How do I allow this site to set the 'user' cookie, but not the '_cfuid' one? Since Cloudflare is proxying, both cookies are first-party.

FF61 on Mac. Solutions for Chrome would also be interesting.

Note that I specifically don't want 'self destructing cookies' or session- or time-limited ones. I just want to white/blacklist by site, cookie name, and perhaps cookie content.

I've briefly looked for suitable extensions, but not yet found anything.
A few comments - I'm not American, so my best shot is probably to find ESA projects equivalent to SBIR/STTR (if any exist). Yeah Kevlar seems awesome, I didn't realize it has such a huge range of operating temperature! (probably the same goes for Spectra/Dynema, but I didn't immediately find any specs).

Thanks for everything! There's definitely more interest! I'm now going through all the links everybody posted, and all the other resources I've found... I'd be happy to chat more, here or over email (in my profile). I'm also researching other things, like engine control, comms, etc. until I know what to focus on.
This time it's not Apple's fault.

Every program and library involved has been installed with Homebrew.
It helps if you're trying to flirt - everyone in France is generally cool with flirting even with those that botch the language. Just use a bit of flattery and don't be afraid to use a bit of body language (I jokingly call it "speaking Italian ").

Even more fun when you're talking to someone way out of your league.
React Suite v3.2.3 Release Overview
> Some have called the police or child protective services after witnessing a parent leave a child in a car to run into Starbucks or attend a job interview.

I get what the gist of the article is about however isn't this a real risk?

Maybe in the other countries they leave the windows down but in America windows are up for security fears?

http://noheatstroke.org/ (hopefully not a sensationalist website, just first thing that came up in google that seems to have numbers)

edit: For the down voters I'm talking about the job interview, not 5min to go get a coffee. It just seemed like a bad example to prove the articles point

Plus it was just a question...
Square Peg – HyLife Pork, Lowlife Existence
That sounds like a business idea that, if successful, quickly renders itself irrelevant unfortunately
Your income wouldn’t exist without the existance of your parents. This does not mean they own your income. You are arguing based on a contrived and unuseful philosophical basis. Who owns the data is a matter of law not philosophy, and having laws like GDPR looks like a great way to empower consumers, so who cares if the data would not be there without Spotify? It would not be there without the consumer either, in fact Spotify itself would not be there without the consumers... should the consumers then “logically” own Spotify?
Researchers teach AI physics to generate urban maps
Researchers Dr. Shaunak De and Dr. Avik Bhattacharya at the Microwave Remote Sensing Lab at IIT Bombay have developed a novel artificial intelligence algorithm to map urban areas in all weather conditions, and even at night!

Satellite imagery can’t usually map urban areas in the rain due to its inability to image though clouds, or at night since it is dependent on the sun for illumination. Radar satellites on the other hand can image in all weather and even in total darkness, however the images from them are difficult to interpret and need specially trained analysts to make sense of. By teaching an artificial intelligence algorithm the rules of physics, the researchers were able to extract human like performance in map generation.

The researchers simulated radar scattering from different urban areas, and trained the algorithm to develop an understanding of it. This way, even if the scene was new to the algorithm, by developing a human like intuition and deduction of radar physics, it is able to correctly map the area. This all weather mapping capabilities are crucial in case of natural disasters like hurricanes, where the ability to quickly track damage is crucial in saving lives. Or in military applications, where the ability to maintain surveillance of bunkers and encampments being built at night by insurgents is mission critical.

We are trying to get this development talked about in media. If you would like to draft an article featuring our work please contact me or reply here!

I have taken the liberty of drafting a sample article, with infographics and images. Please find it here:

In Denmark, and probably elsewhere, we have the term "helicopter parents" for parents who constantly hover near their kids, never letting them out of sight. Similarly, we also have the term "curling parents", because they do everything to clear the path of their offspring (to the point of going to job interviews with them).

Both are obviously used in a teasing-not-quite-nice way to signal that maybe these parents should take a deep breath and assume that they raised their kids well, and that scraping your knee or getting frightened is something that happens in life sooner or later, and the parents' job is to guide and comfort their kids when they do happen.

There was a very high profile case (in DK at least) from 1997 about a mother who left her child outside the restaurant where she was eating (with line-of-sight to the stroller): https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/nov/26/anette-soren...

I might not want to do the same in New York, but in Denmark no one would bat an eye if this happened.
I agree with you but then again the US is a massive country; it cannot be the same all over. So something gives the parents the idea they need to be (over?)protective or we just do not hear from the regions where that is not needed because it is not newsworthy?
This article was trying to make the claim that at many birthday parties in the US, all the childrens' parents will stay at the party. I don't know how common that is, but some cursory searching does indicate that it's a thing.
Yeah, the campaign for "courriel" was such a success!
Leaving a child in a car for a long time is a bad idea everywhere. It’s fine to do if you have to pop into a store and the child is old enough to understand (and it isn’t hot and sunny, and/or the child can handle the door on their own). But for a job interview??
Fish's abbr feature does this. They're aliases that expand in place. For example I have gph abbr'd to "git push origin HEAD", and I can continue editing the command after expansion.

Well it could help but not make you immune.

1. You have diversified your risk, so even if you cannot sell into the US market anymore, you may still have a company that can sell into different parts of the world.

2. Even if you lose and a face a large fee, you may be able to just retreat from the US, leaving the US statutory entities to insolvency, whilst protecting your IP.
I guess the same. Not sure why the downvote. The latest crypto functions expect the developer to pick parameters for the memory usage, the time to run and god knows what.

Too low and it's worse than MD5, too high and your login prompt takes a whole minute to check the password.
There is plenty of middle ground between the homogeneous high-social-cohesion society of Japan, and a high-PETTY-crime urban American city.

Just because your cell phone would be stolen doesn't mean your child would be.

Most of the cities and places listed in the article is still full of pickpockets and scams. But that's a different story than fearing for the lives or even just the safety of children...
Exactly. People raise their children differently in different places. There are plusses and minuses. Who cares?

My frustration with tjis article is that it is tge epitome of anecdotal fluff. It is an article about the commebts on an article. Why is this tripe on hacker news?
It's not the decryption process that is slow (computers can do AES really really fast these days), it's the deliberate slowness introduced by PBKDF2, which attempts to thwart brute force attacks.
We have the same words for it in Sweden, guess it's a Nordic thing because I've heard "curling" used in Norway too.
I suspect there are places where you wouldn’t and shouldn’t leave your 5yo alone in the playground a short walk from home. And I assume that the culture will spread within a country (shared news etc) so that people in areas where this would be perfectly safe don’t do that either. I’m not sure what to do about that their than encourage people to make their own judgements and also see the cost of overprotecting. I think that’s a key here: parents think that watching over kids is invariably best, and don’t assign a value to independence.
And where do you get the idea that animals lacking adaptability will survive under any circumstances ?
Dropping in to give an alternate interpretation.

When, many layer up joefranklinsrs said that china would fail I think he likely meant that china today would fail in a number of years.

That is, it would have to change in some meaningful way to keep succeeding and so in term or reliable investment is not a good option whether it fail or not.
I'm sure there is a whole range of sentiments in China toward the issue of censorship and blocked foreign sites. I don't claim to know what exactly those sentiments are or for how many people it raises political questions at all.

But I think that Google's refusal to collaborate with Chinese censors has been an important statement in favor of democracy and freedom of expression that was heard all over the world. Some in China will have heard it as well.

Google's reputation will suffer from this and it will hurt them in a lot of indirect ways, such as hiring, discussions about taxation, competition regulation, advertising rules, privacy laws, developer sentiment towards their platforms, etc.

Nah I don’t think so. I use lots of apps and feel like quite a “power” user; office suite, slack, Dropbox, iTunes, terminal, text editors, of course lots of browsers and stuff (don’t do Xcode or IDEs but do do Occasional programming and scripting in editors), and I hate working on windows even the all-in-one surface pros have felt way short for me compared to Macs . And Chromebooks I feel would do the same but they do seem like a good idea (like the surface tablets did) and I should give it a go to truly see... but I feel the Apple products are very “special” compared to other things, and I think that’s how many others feel too.
Buggy mobile client (andriod) and dumpster tier performance are two areas they have been dropping the ball on since release, and requires innovation in some sense of the word.

Those are both very important. Innovation is generally important and I'm half curious as to why you ask.
This is why I really don’t get why people use homebrew over macports. Macports hasn’t given me that trouble and is pretty solid.
I wouldn't say animations are unneecessary. There are cases where they do add something positive. For example I see this open/close animation of yakuake [1] up to a hundred times per day since years and I still like it.

I think the key to good animations is that they use the right timing. They are best when you barely even see them. They should transport a notion, but as soon as you see it clearly, you have to wait for your computer to finish rendering and that sucks.

[1]: Terminal emulator which comes down from the top of the screen https://www.kde.org/applications/system/yakuake/
New Year is really the only special time where everything's closed in japan though..
I'd argue that UIs usually don't need something to carry through the transition, and that those kinds of animations can be dropped in most cases. I can see the use of animation in games, but for content-based sites/applications, there should be little to no animation. Users already know how to get around and what the various buttons do.

Between the time I started using computers (early 80s) until a few years ago, there wasn't much animation and it wasn't missed. There were some complaints about back then too -- flying butterflies[1], powerpoint transitions, blink/marquee tags, etc.

One more thing RE car analogy. People are spending 30+ hours learning how to operate a car before being allowed to do it on their own on public roads. Software vendors no longer expect users to spend even 5 minutes learning. This is a cultural problem.

I can represent 3D quite comfortably on 2D monitors, can there be an intuitive mapping of 4D to a 3D VR view?

I know 3D mapped to 2D suffers from occlusions and heavily relies on clues like perspective, shadow etc. But given enough time even a less intuitive 4D view could become intuitive with time, too.

Then again, we're not talking about perfect true X, but the typical execution of X. Typical execution of animations is terrible, so it's a problem.
Getting an address for these purposes is substantially easier and cheaper than obtaining steady housing.
Here's a thought I had watching the bit with 2D man:

Actually, the 3D view that 2D man does not understand but which we do understand is... still 2D. My screen is flat.

You can use a 2D viewport to render a 3D scene in a way that is natural and easy to understand for us humans: A human watching the 2D scene can very quickly surmise from a glance at the viewport: Which objects are in the scene, and where are they located, in _ALL_ 3 dimensions?

This raises the question:

Can you render a 4D scene onto a 3D viewport such that us humans are pretty good at understanding where every object in the scene is, in all 4 dimensions?

I assume the answer is 'yeah, you can do that'. I wonder what that would look like.

It's complicated of course; our eyeballs are involved and they kinda work in 2D and not 3D; where we humans can casually glance at a 2D viewport rendering a 3D scene for a second and know what's happening, we'd have to walk around the 3D screen rendering a 4D scene in order to even see everything.
