My wife has been made aware that she must write exactly what she wants on the shopping list (I do the shopping); I get what is on the list. If what she wrote is incorrect, so too will be what I buy. If there's ambiguity, I call her. I find food shopping to be very high stress (because half the things I buy involve me asking myself if it's the right thing, what I might be reading incorrectly, etc). If the shopping list is particularly odd (she's trying a new recipe and needs lots of unusual, specific ingredients), I make her do that trip.

The LEGO boost robot kit also uses the scratch language if you want something physical and your kid is big on LEGO’s.

In addition to scratch, there are a few games like “LEGO fix the factory”, “lightbot jr”, and even “human resource machine” (my five year old can only handle the first few levels though).

The dragon box apps are also fun if you want to give your kid exposure to algebra and geometry concepts.

For pre-5, the new Kahn app looks nice. (Our kid already knew the material by the time it came out, but still has fun with it.)

Defenestrations, torches and pitchforks have been traditional solutions to rulers not acting in the interest of the populace.

Perhaps.

Penitentiary means a place to become penitent, which means to repent for your sins. It was not meant to simply have people pay for their crimes (retribution) but instead to reform the offender by making them see the error of their ways and getting them to ask for forgiveness.

Prison reform movements began to push for both deterrence and rehabilitation over simple punishment in the 17th century. This started with British houses of correction, where people were taught how to make a living for themselves rather than beg or steal. The Penitentiary Act introduced solitary confinement, religious instruction, a labor regime, proposed two state penitentiaries, and abandoned gaolers' fees. (These were never built, though) At the same time, capital punishment for minor crimes no longer seemed palatable, so simply being detained also became part of the punishment itself.

In America in the 19th century, states began to implement plans for prisons to be places of reform and penitence, such as the New York system, and the Pennsylvania system, which placed offenders into solitary cells with nothing other than religious literature, and forced them to be completely silent to reflect on their wrongs. Eastern State Penitentiary is one of those, and still stands in Philadelphia as a tourist attraction. It's a building that in some ways even feels like a church or cloister.

Current American prisons are not designed for penance or penitence.
> I really love Instapaper and use it a lot. Especially the send to kindle feature. Luckily for them I did not stumble upon an easy 1:1 replacement.

I've been trying to teach my 5 year old with a custom language/app I built a while ago:

http://modelian.com/

Basically, it's a programming language to make very basic 2d physics simulations.

It's actually gone really well, she loves changing the size and colors of the shapes. She's learned how to type (keys, capitals, arrows, backspace, etc...) and how to manipulate a lot of things.

I wouldn't say she is really "programming" yet; it's more of "I know this number changes the size of the block and this other thing changes the color". Anyways it's a great start and we have a lot of fun on it together.

(Note I built this a a while ago on Parse which has since shutdown so the saving/account functionality doesn't work any more. You need to copy your scripts to a text file to save.)

It's pretty simple: buy a device that is supported by the manufacturer for the lifetime of the device. The Nexus 5X was released in 2015, so it's abandoned after three years. The oldest supported iPhone is the 5s, which was released in 2013 and will be supported by iOS 12 which means it gets security updates until at least fall of 2019 (maybe longer).

A straight-from-Google Android phone is out of support after 3 years, while a comparable iPhone is still supported after 6 years.

Some flavors of class dysfunction as well as culture make this the preferred way to get advice in the US. The so-called middle class in the US likes to be self identified by what seems like 70% of the nation. Anyone from the working poor to the actual middle & even upper middle class over the past 50 years has the cultural message of "strike out on your own - make your mark in the world". But, how? Who knows how to do that?

The assumption here becomes that what worked for your parents (even if your relationship is good with them) won't work for you. Worse than that - they don't know how to do better because if they did, they would have by now! For dysfunctional relationships it's worse - the cultural message of "strike out on your own" becomes inferred as "you think you're better than us" and "you're just a social climber". The analogy of a pot of crabs that keep clawing each other back into the pot so that none escape is not a metaphor in the lower socioeconomic strata. It's an observable phenomenon that can make a foot note in your own family history.

In short, unless you want to end up exactly where your friends and family are - they're not the ones you want to be getting advice and ideas from.

It feels weird to me that they’re putting those monetisation hooks back in without talking at all about the future of the product. I’ve used Instapaper for many years now, and I’m more than happy to pay for a service that I get so much value out of, but that said, Instapaper’s largely stagnated in recent years, with very little in the way of major updates or improvements. I’d really love to see even a rough roadmap that could give me some idea of where they want to be say, a year from now, but right now I don’t have a ton of confidence.

I read recently about Moloch ( http://slatestarcodex.com/2014/07/30/meditations-on-moloch/ ) regarding this very topic.

Ideally, lowering everything about the criminal system is a net good at all levels. Politicians and government are the ones who control expenditure levels along with what is defined as a crime.

Collectively, with would suit all levels of citizenry and government to raise threshold of what constitutes a "Crime", along with massive reduction of forces across all levels. However the first politician to 'defect' and recommend this gets lambasted as being "Weak On Crime". Unfortunately for the politician, it only takes a single person who was let out early and commit some assault/robbery/rape/murder to then show the 'evils and horribleness' of said politician.

Quote from the Slate Star Codex:

For example, ever-increasing prison terms are unfair to inmates and unfair to the society that has to pay for them. Politicans are unwilling to do anything about them because they don’t want to look “soft on crime”, and if a single inmate whom they helped release ever does anything bad (and statistically one of them will have to) it will be all over the airwaves as “Convict released by Congressman’s policies kills family of five, how can the Congressman even sleep at night let alone claim he deserves reelection?”. So even if decreasing prison populations would be good policy – and it is – it will be very difficult to implement.

This is adapted from a post I saw on HN years ago. Can't find a reference ATM, but the gist is:

Use a simple goal oriented task - picking up a ball from one end of the room and depositing it at the other end, navigating some obstacles (coffee table etc). You are the "robot" they are programming.

Provide a partial "instruction set" left, right, forward (1-step).

Let the child figure the algorithm to pick the object, navigate the obstacles and discover the rest of the instruction-set.

They string together a program as a string of post-it notes.

The only rules are the "robot" always runs the program from the beginning - no hot-patching. If the instructions bump you into a table, you stop. The child goes fixes the program, and you start over. Great for debugging skills and building abstractions in the head.

Incredible, how quickly they discover loops and functions. And very quickly learn to create program in the abstract for other tasks (unloading a dish-washer).

I never went as far as sorting lego bricks, but that might be another interesting direction to explore to introduce algorithms.

What is happening to the EPA in the US is really unbelievable. How low will the bar get for the polluters in this country, one wonders?
Solutions like this are preferable than complete upending of our quality of life and economic systems. The anti-capitalists would prefer “huge concerted effort” as opposed to simpler, less economically disruptive solutions. I often feel like people on the far left actually don’t want simple, market-based solutions and would prefer instead to use fears of catastrophe as a means to enact their social and economic agendas. It’s no different than 1984 where the perpetual war with Eurasia (or was it Eastasia?) is used to hide totalitarian aims.
Sorry, I had a hard time reading the tiny, closely-packed, angled text. I wish I had seen there was a table view available. Wow, Greece workers work 49% more hours per year!

The labor force participation rate for Germany is 78% but only 68% for Greece[0]. So almost a third of working-age (defined here as 15 to 64) people in Greece aren't in the official workforce but those that are work many hours (important to remember than some portion of those not working are raising children and/or providing elder care).

> The US prison system and the harsh police also contribute to violence, people are more violent because you are violent with them, it works as a feedback loop.

chicken and egg problem. I don't think US society was ever "not violent". It isn't more violent today than it was in the 80's at least.
Disagree. I started programming when I was less than 4. My Dad had an Atari, and I would sit and copy the code from some books. I didn't know what I was doing, all I knew is that I wanted to play the game, since I saw my Dad do it.

He didn't force me at all, I just wanted to. So I would modify your pseudocode and add a branch for the kid's interest/aptitude.
The biggest red flag I saw when I was working with Azure is that I noticed that a lot of their CLI commands ("az do-a-thing") actually have the pattern of "retry until it works"... and the first few tries often actually fail!

Penal enforced labor was not a uniquely southern thing (or a uniquely “slave state” thing) before the Civil War, and not abolishing it along with chattel slavery was not a sop to the South.

The South really exploited that allowance as a replacement for chattel slavery, though, but they did that with every power state governments were not explicitly denied (and, because of the lack of substantive enforcement of much of the 14th Amendment for nearly a century after the Civil War, many which they were explicitly denied.)
Why not say that? International relations isn’t a morality play. Joining into a union with a nation likely to get pulled into a conflict you don’t want isn’t a good idea.

EU membership isn’t an award for good behavior, it’s a strategic choice made to achieve certain goals.
Unless your 5-year old has independently expressed interest in learning to program, I'd say the best way is to not do it. I could be way off here, but to me this smells like a parent who wants to be able to brag to other adults that their child is so smart that they started programming as a 5-year old.
Um, sometimes; but I'm conscious it would be pretty easy to sneak something below my radar ...

I do check for usage figures, project involvement, apparent real name usage and such when considering random apt repos (PPAs).
I subscribed. I don't need the premium features, but I also use Instapaper just about every day and want the company to survive.
What I've found is:

1. You can set "reduce white point" to reduce white light
2. You can set a color tint filter and move the hue far to the left. That's the red/orange area. Set intensity to max.
3. You can set the accessibility shortcut to turn these on. (This one is lacking - it slows app switching on non-X devices)

I don't know how to assess actual colour spectrum output, mind you. Does this seem effective?

I leave night shift and true tone on as well.
I'm not convinced that teaching kids how to code is a good idea, perhaps someone in hn could shed some light on how learning to code at a young age is a good thing. For me, important values to instill in a kid that will be conductive to their success as well as well-being are communication and empathy. The best way to achieve these is through diverse activities that involves teamwork and exploration. Rather than teaching kids how to code, sending them to be part of a sports team, band, and art group would be better choices. With these experiences interacting with people from different activities, the kid would grow up with more life experience and relate to others better, which translates to building more impactful products later on in life if they decide to pick up programming.

I'm in Dallas, and I've noticed something similar here.

Most of the tech industry in Dallas is telecom. There are many, many reasons why I categorically refuse to ever move to SV, and one of them is that I love telecom and can't stand web/social/mobile. I'm saddened and disappointed that the biggest tech hub in the country, the part of the country whose name is synonymous with the tech industry, is just a collection of web/social/mobile developers who don't work on anything I consider interesting. SV just has this narrow definition of tech that really puts me off. OK, to be fair, there are a few telecom companies in SV, but they don't dominate the industry like they do in Dallas.

My career goals are to work in B2B telecom for the rest of my life and never ever do web/social/mobile, so I need to avoid SV.
Thanks, that is a lot clearer than the article.
Trainspotters love to invent new sub-sub-sub genres, but hardly anyone actually uses those terms. There's a well-established taxonomy of dance music based on broad stylistic differences; Beatport and Juno both list about 30 genres, which I think is more than sufficient for any practical purpose.
That's actually close to reality. A lot of US universities have some kind of for-pay drug research going on. Since college kids are notoriously low on cash, they sign up to get injected with something and report the results afterwards.

My university didn't offer it but my sister's did. She made a few bucks getting injected with a trial flu vaccine and reporting if she got sick afterwards.
While I agree. It might not hurt to explain why you think this way. For me, 5 is pretty young. At that age it might be better to focus more on building blocks that will become useful for programming in the future. Stuff like basic problem solving, identifying things that could be improved.
The language core has been completely re-written, almost from scratch, with performance as an explicit goal.
It was my understanding they were now allowing it to be used in a case by case basis reviewed by the EPA. IMHO that makes sense. Surely there are some applications it makes sense for if the proper precautions are taken.

From wikipedia:

1. Define a question

2. Gather information and resources (observe)

3. Form an explanatory hypothesis

4. Test the hypothesis by performing an experiment and collecting data in a reproducible manner

5. Analyze the data

6. Interpret the data and draw conclusions that serve as a starting point for new hypothesis

7. Publish results

8. Retest (frequently done by other scientists)

Emphasis on 4) and the "reproducible manner".

Otherwise what's the point really? We would resort to trust or belief in one's sayings.

You could just stop reading the news. Humans are not built for dealing with planetary scale events. It's not a cop out. Just live your life like you have so far, and try to be happy and kind to fellow beings. If you have resources to affect the outcome then please do muster your troops, but your message implies this is not so - you are like the most of us, mostly powerless.

Personally, I just don't care. No, not that I don't care for our species or our planet, what I mean is that I'm fine with whatever scenario arrives. If it's full blown apocalypse ... I'll save my distress for when that day arrives (hopefully it won't).

I'm a small bag of meat. I try to live my life ethically, and find joy in small things that bring me pleasure. Then, one day I will be dust. I'm fine with that.

Being scared because everyone screams "calamity calamity calamity!" just puts you on full stress for no good reason.
