Looking at the comparison for Kerala, I really feel sad and worried. It doesn't look like much improved for my state during this period. And everyone likes to talk about Kerala being number one!
Interesting choice of font. Does the font help with reading it to the dyslexic? For me it makes it actually harder.

(I get that all-caps might help, but that font?)

EDIT: Apart from that, it's a cool idea though
"The only clear issue was lack of experience"

"In this case, however, it had a nefarious twist: all of these developers lacked experience."

Am I missing the twist here? It was already mentioned as the primary problem.
Ask HN: Four years in front end webdev, I should be focusing on full stack?
I went for an interview today, and the Solutions Architect in the company mentioned that me having four years of experience only in front end is considered a risky move in career. Instead he emphasizes on how I should be moving towards learning both the back end and front end development.

How true is this statement? Should I consider focusing on full stack development?

>You have to make a decision based on something.

And like science you can base it on the collective experience versus your personal experience. Preferably from rigorous studies but we mostly lack those in CS. So hopefully you're reading books, blog posts, studies, conference presentations, discussing with colleagues, etc.

>this is why in most serious technical interviews today, you will often get asked about your past experiences.

Interestingly the top companies seem to be focusing a lot less on experience and a lot more on problem solving/system design/etc.
We need a certificate transparency type solution that makes pushing compromised firmware to individual devices impractical.

That still leaves forcing manufacturers to insert backdoors in all devices, which as far as I know can only be made tamper evident by open sourcing (and using reproducible builds for) all security critical software and hardware.

Ender's Game is an interesting story. If we were to simplify the scenario to a lab, in which a monkey gets trained to play an abstract game to get food, the resolution is trivial: if soneone wired the game to act as a trigger for an A bomb under the enemy's capital, hoping to blame the monkey for pushing the final button, they would clearly be in the wrong. The monkey would not be capable of understanding his choice or his actions. The moral responsibility and guilt lies entirely with the people planning and executing that plan.

Ender is different: he knows about the war. He knows that he is being trained to fight in it. His fighting game gets ultimately wired up the the actual battlefield. The book is actually surprisingly ambivalent on whether Ender truely believes that this is still a simulation or something else. And when he is presented with the trigger (the MD device) he decides to press it. If I remember, he even kills half of his own fleet with that thing just because he does not see any other way to win.

I don't quite buy that Ender is complete innocence in this. He was trained to command these battles and knew what consequences his decisions have. Yet he makes the conscious decision to act as an intelligent being who is fundamentally able to decide otherwise if he wanted to. The alternative is set up to have terrible consequences, but it exists and Ender understands it. And the most damning aspect of all in my opinion is that Ender seems to suspect that it is not just a simulation anymore. Yet he continues as he always has.

My girlfriend, whose worked in the service industry for the last 5 years, would vehemently disagree with you. If she doesn't get at least 20%, it's more or less an offensive amount _because_ they get paid so little because of this law. That's baseline.

Before I met her, I assumed 10% was a perfectly acceptable tip but I had never really had any friends who worked in the service industry or worked there myself, so I had no idea how little they actually make. For a typical slow shift, a bartender/server can make $20 or less...and this is in NYC.
I never had Netflix before. Any time I toggle through it, there is never the movie I want, no matter how old. Or any shows worth watching.
I think their point about grant-getters is spot-on. Thousands of companies exist just to apply for EU grants, get them, come up with a half-assed prototype and then quit the project. Unless you have connections in government in which case sometimes you can have a second and third half-assed product.

Of course there are also many non-gov-funded startups. However 1) it is demoralizing to see them getting millions in handouts while you struggle to sell a product and 2) they keep many talented employees trapped in deadend-companies.
Preferably for an internal project you have a trusted delegation chain that would catch the issue early on.

> The author greatly underestimates the native speakers potential for screwing up song lyrics

I think what's interesting is how it's often possible to trace a mistake back to a word or idiom in the speaker's native language. For example, a poster elsewhere in the thread pointed out how ABBA confuses 'fun' and 'funny', which can be explained by there existing words in Swedish that mean both things.
It's virtual memory, not physical memory. One should really see virtual memory as “addresses available for use within a single process”, not “space to store actual data, shared by all processes on a computer”.

On modern 64 bits architectures, you have plenty of it to spend. To give an idea of how much of it you have: since Linux 2.6.11 on x86_64, one can address up to 128 TiB (that's 128 thousands of GiB) of virtual memory per process. Starting with Linux 4.12, one can address up to 128 PiB (that's 128 millions of GiB) of virtual memory per process. That's completely unrelated with how much physical memory you have.
Chrome has been having a really negative effect on web standards recently. I don't want to derail anything going down that rabbit hole, but just to reitterate the point above: I wish more people would break away from Chrome.

They have a bad habit of trying to force standards through the W3C without thinking through what they're doing, they're really bad at responding to bug reports or engaging with devs, they regularly introduce breaking changes to existing web content without giving user overrides. The recent audio changes are a good example of just how broken their dev process is[0].

Firefox is still Firefox, they're fine. The Edge team honestly is pretty great too. Working with Chrome devs as a web developer kind of stinks, and I think it's partially because they're so dominant and they just don't have to care.

Especially on mobile, if you're even remotely a power user Firefox is just flat-out a better Android browser since it supports extensions.

If you're an expat, you really need one of those insurance polices in addition to regular US insurance, as you'll discover when you try to claim.

My colleague spent weeks on the phone arguing with the insurance company while debt collectors from the hospital hounded him after a simple ER visit. In the end someone at the insurance company paid his bill with their corporate credit card because they couldn't figure out a way to get it paid through the system. This despite the fact that the insurance company claimed to have a 'network'-type relationship with the hospital (which the hospital denied any knowledge of). They stopped offering coverage for the US altogether after that because it was too expensive.

My parents are still trying to get their travel insurance to reimburse them after an ER visit while on holiday.

Basically everyone is being had.

It didn't work zooming in past city-level for me, I'm guessing that's a limitation of the prototype?

The flags were an interesting choice instead of country names. I can see how this could be easier to parse than denser country labels, but it does required knowledge of flags.

Other than that is the main difference just the use of the dyslexic font and a reduction in label density?
The font is OpenDyslexic, specifically "designed against some common symptoms of dyslexia."

I never wrote down any notes at university. My process was:

- Go to lecture. Don't write anything.
- Review material again on Moodle after lecture.

Understandable that you're adding support for languages and packaging ecosystems as you go, and JS + PHP is as good a place as any to start, but it would be helpful if this were explicitly highlighted. For those who are unfamiliar with the ecosystems in question, package.json and composer.json are just filenames that don't actually tell you anything.

Those are not design flaws. Besides that, who here has written software that scaled through many orders of magnitude as seamlessly as bitcoin has. I certainly haven't, and the amount of forethought that has gone into bitcoin consistently surprised me.
Not to mention incredibly stupid. That bill will cost them licenses and likely their employers hundreds of thousands of dollars as evidence of their complicity in court when their best defense is itself a reason for harsh condemnation "just following orders".

> Does it really?

I would point out that like most of Western Europe, the Netherlands has an absurd abundance of milk being produced. The state buys it up en-masse and, for lack of a better option, destroys it.

Therefore I would think the only way a farm like this has any hope of success is if the government subsidizes it.

https://www.citylab010.nl/plannen/floatingfarmeducatie

Although the article says that financing is "100% private" (the CEO is an ex-accountant it seems), the article also states:

1) there will be a 42.600 euro subsidy for developing lessons for local kids about the farm

(in case you're wondering why that would happen:)

2) a number of schools have committed to buying the milk produced at a given price (schools are public in the Netherlands, so this amounts to a government subsidy)

3) the cows are not actually being bred on the farm. Rather, they're bred elsewhere and then brought onto the farm during their years where they give milk, the farm is subsidized

4) the farm is being constructed as part of a government plan to reinvent the old fruit harbour of Rotterdam, and only "Clean Tech Medical and Food" companies are welcome, but also get tax advantages and don't have to pay for their territory.

So no, it doesn't make sense. With government support, it may at some point in the future start making sense.

Copying and pasting internet code into production that says “Don’t do this in production“ is not a lack of experience problem, it's a lack-of-reading problem or a rushing-things problem; the latter is typically caused by management putting deployment dates on features without understanding the technical cost.

Its not just science, it's anything. Also, it's not just media, it's everything.

The only thing to do is individual. Take "facts" with a grain of salt, at the very least until you have read the article. Do not take headlines as facts.

You can just read academic journal abstracts, if you want a more academic and precise reading materials.

Indeed.

It really depends what you mean by "program". Would you argue that the Euclidean algorithm from two millenia prior was a program?

Ada Lovelace was the first to realise that the analytical engine would perform arbitrary tasks and wrote programs for those arbitrary task, beyond computational operations. Of course Babbage who designed the hardware had some idea of what programs it could run and presented examples, but he did not have the forethought to go beyond as Lovelace is quoted in your articles, "an original understanding of where the power and potential of computers lay."

There has always been a controversy of how much of Lovelace's work is hers and how much is Babbage's in the Menabrea papers, and I don't think Babbage writing a few simple programs settles this controversy one way or another. Lovelace had unique and original insights that should not be downplayed.

I've noticed a lot of nuclear advocates talking about climate change but having a poor grasp of the actual issues involved. The aim isn't the unrealistic goal of going to zero emissions, it's to cut emissions such that carbon ppm stays below 450 (or 350, if we had acted sooner). If you look at serious comprehensive plans to fight climate change, nuclear doesn't play a big role for a variety of reasons (time to build, cost, production bottlenecks, etc.). Conservation usually plays a much bigger role (as do renewables).

People blame environmentalists, but nuclear fans acting like nuclear is the one and only silver bullet while ignoring much more important components hasn't helped the fight against climate change.

from an economic perspective, I'd rather DRM be as expensive to utilise as possible. A world where media conglomerates have to spend money keeping their DRM up-to-date on every new end-user device is one where they may be more likely to think about the cost/benefit of alternative options.

Wow, this topic is so relevant to me.

I felt that I've became obsessed with "likes" recently on Reddit. Well, they call it karma. But, same thing.

Karma points are kinda hard to get. Mainly because there are 3 things that has to happen -

1. Write your comment early enough
2. Write something witty enough
3. The thread needs to become somewhat popular

Sports threads, mainly Game threads, are a gold mine for karma. I found, recently that I wrote things there partly because I loved the team and atmosphere (Braves fan), but also because I love refreshing and seeing all 'dem karma points.

I've became so obsessed that I realized I had a problem. Each time I go onto Reddit (the new version), my eyes immediately darts to the top right of the screen to see if I went up or down. It became distracting that I looked for ways to turn it off.

Reddit's user settings, from what I saw, doesn't have anything that will hide those points. Luckily, I could revert back to the old Reddit layout.

Funny thing is, I'm barely on the Game threads now that I cannot see those points.

It requires you to already have insurance somewhere else, and they expect you to go home for anything chronic (expensive). It sounds exactly the same as any travel insurance you can get in your home country (and is included in many fancy credit cards)

You said "expats" before, but ex-pat implies residency in the US. Tourists/business travelers are a whole other ballgame. They're just protecting against not getting hit by a car when they're at their week-long conference. They're all limited in scope of their costs by their visitor's visa duration (typically 90 days)
