Heyo, thanks a lot for the shout-out. Original author here, happy to answer any questions you guys might have. Here's a demo of what Commento looks like: https://demo.commento.io

I should mention that there's also an enterprise edition that adds proprietary, enterprise-y features like audit logs, SSO, etc. that you can purchase for a one-time fee [1]. It also supports the project :)

But worry not, the community edition will always be fully functional and I'll never make it crippleware.

Using Docker Containers to Build Your Code
Screens are cheap. Sure a tablet is a few hundred dollars, but figure it's a hand me down from a relative, and it can entertain a kid for thousands of hours with minimal effort.

Meanwhile, keeping a kid off a screen and giving them other activities is expensive, in parental time if not direct cost.

I don't know if it's education directly, or income, or anything else because those are all correlation. If I had to guess, and this is a guess, is that the deciding factor is whether parents have decided their kids are simply a cost (something to be fed, entertained, educated, etc) or an investment. When a kid always wants your attention, and you view them simply as a consumer, it's easy to just hand them a digital device and ask them to get lost. It's much more work to sit down with them and play a game or read together.

Throwing an anecdote into the bucket: my 2.5 year old gets _very_ cranky when it's time to turn off Masha and the Bear, and it seems to be - without running any objective numbers - that she's crankier in general and less willing to be patient and wait if she watches too much of it on any given day or weekend.

We actually told her that Masha went on vacation, and are going to be trying to crank down her screen time down to near-zero (from a few hours on the weekends, and occasionally 45 minutes after daycare if only one parent is home and e.g. dinner needs to be cooked)
Ugh, which may be completely missing the causality. I’d argue that many people are having fewer kids (smaller households) soecifically because raising them has become so expensive.
I haven't done much Blu-ray ripping, but I try to keep an eye on it to make sure it's still "working" as a thing. I want a movie collection, but I don't want to invest heavily in maintaining a RAID array of live drives to store giant 25 GB archives of each movie. I'd much rather just hang onto the Blu-ray discs, and know that inevitably they all get cracked, so I'll always have ripping options if I need it.

As a physical disc you can keep in your possession, it's still really the only way to "own" a movie these days. Vudu is nice, and I'll do a lot of casual watching via my digital copy codes, but the discs are my "collection".

While you can take the address of cube, you can't do this trick more than one level deep: you can't return a new function from "deriv".
I was recently investigating a CSS shadow issue that looked like an uneven shadow across the bottom of an element that had a lighter section and a darker section, but it turned out to be illusion #6! I had to do the color picker method on the shadow to convince myself, and even after I had convinced myself by drawing a single color line in between, my eyes were still fooled. Very tricky!
I am not a car fanatic like these people, but I think I get it. Some people just love cars, like how some people love gaming rigs or skiing. They love the things so much they’re willing to go into debt.

Part of the phenomenon may be branding too. Cars are used as a status symbol. It’s not necessarily used to broadcast that you’re a “better” person than others, but maybe that you have “good taste” and “can afford it” (think something like expensive designer handbags but more functional).

And some people are just dopes who spend money or go into debt with thinking about it. They’re financially illiterate. These are people who make emotional purchases and feel very excited and happy about their new car, who gripe about their debt two months later when reality sinks in. I feel bad for them.

I'm bullish on Elixir and I agree that ExUnit deserves to be singled out.

Whether you consider Elixir fast or slow probably depends on what you're coming from and what you're doing. Personally, I wish the performance story would significantly improve.

But, the reason I think Elixir should be your goto language comes down to process isolation and the ecosystem around it (the synergy of the runtime, libraries and language). If you're doing a pure web app, you might not fully leverage it. But, for anything that involves long-lived in-process data (like a workflow/pipeline, or persistent connections), the way to approach this in Elixir (with supervisors, processes, message passing and pattern matching) tends to result in highly cohesive and maintainable code. Message passing is a pretty effective antidote to coupling.

I just finished writing code that had to take a stream of unordered time-based data and dedupe it over a small window. I'm not overly pleased with the final result, but it's completely isolated from the much larger app it sits in, easy to refactor/rewrite, with no risk of someone taking a shortcut and just accessing some internal detail, and testable.

I feel like I wrote a microservice, but without any of the challenges of a separate app.
Without knowing your deficiency, you're either taking a comically meaningless dose (why even bother to take a 5ug dose if you're at a 250ug deficiency?) or risking overdose by swamping your system with the 250ug over the counter pills while not actually being deficient.

Really? I can totally picture it. There are already upscale cinemas that ban phones, for grownups who don't want to look at the movie over a sea of glowing screens, and are willing to pay a premium price and surrender the use of their own device for the privilege.

Same goes with restaurants, especially fancy ones, where diners are sick of having everyone around them snapping pics of their food for instagram.
Many do though. And the average in the US is almost 30 minutes. So change it to an hour per day (and people also drive outside of their commute).
That's what stood out for me while reading the article. Here are some people who say "screens are bad" and here are some other people who say "screens are not so bad". Then, a little bit about how screens are addictive and not good for kids. You could substitute "Dungeons and Dragons" for "screens" and we'd be reading an article straight out of the 80's.
If you can get it (at a fair price) and you have a plan, taking VC money will almost always be +lifeEV. It’s much better to fail big than fail small.

I think it's still a little soon to call them wrong. I was long TSLA for quite awhile, and have never been short. TSLA still has financial issues. While this quarter was certainly a positive, it remains to be seen if they can keep it going [1].

When it comes to financial investment I try not to be 'anti' anything. I look at what is. The facts still show TSLA having a bumpy road ahead. The next two quarters will really show if things have turned. First we'll find out if this beat was just a timing beat with cash flow and accounts payable. Next, we'll see how the debt payments coming due are covered.

Thank you for linking to the text.
Part of that is that when roaming the streets, you knew the people on your street and usually had an idea that people were home to be able to call you to let you know there was a problem. Being at work is different than being "around and available" at home. Didn't have to be spending time with them directly to be available.

When I was roaming at as kid it was to my other friends houses in my neighborhood and everywhere in between. I live in a fairly large neighborhood now and we only know one other boy in the neighborhood who is my son's age. It's unfortunate for him.

At the same time, my daughter has several friends in the neighborhood her age and they play together all the time either at our house or the house of another parent who works from home.

That said, when I was really little I watched a video of my 4 year old birthday party so many times I memorized it. My mom called it "the best babysitter." Even today I can play that video in my head.
> Watching tv or playing with computers is not intrinsically good or bad

Studies disagree. Too much screen time isn't great for kid development. At best, we're not sure what sort of effect it has on kids.
It definitely does, you just have to be willing to spend the hours to look for the deal.
Reddit and hackernews too.

Frankly when I was a kid there were oldschool forums I'd frequent all the time.

I think this isn't a "kid" problem. I see just as many adults glued to their screens.

Gentrification is great for wealthy landowners. For poor/middle-class homeowners (in the USA, anyway), there is about 100 asterisks attached to that "great". And in various situations, gentrification can hurt poor/middle-class people even if they own a property.
5 science-backed ways to break your phone addiction
I thought the more important thing was not to discharge your battery too deeply. It's especially bad to keep it at a very low state of charge for a long time (use the device until it dies and then not recharge it for a day or two). If you try to keep your battery charged to above 40%, its lifetime should be a lot longer. I also don't charge my ThinkPad to 100% (I limited it to 85% using tlp), but afaik that's not as important.

My iPhone 7 is now a little over two years old, and battery health reports that the maximum capacity is 90%. I use around 60% of charge every day, but I can count the number of times it went below 20% on my fingers.
30 LSTM layers of 30 neurons each? Two notes as input? Those are some unusual choices...

For a dataset this small, a single layer LSTM with 300 neurons, accepting four bars of input at a time, would most likely do much better.
Well. It's almost a philosophical dilemma at this point.

You can either fear the future and hence never enjoy what's good today. Or you can forget the future and actually enjoy the present.

If GitHub changes direction and becomes a bad citizen, we'll go elsewhere.

Musk plays fast and loose like he's almost asking for failure. The amount of blog posts and confused short-sellers because of this one fact have been truly entertaining/infuriating to watch.

You can't win against this guy until you prove him wrong. Either they can't or aren't incentivized to do so, so he still wins.

Thank you. You may have saved my vision.

About 4 months I was beginning to see some spots in low illumination conditions but my doctor told me it was nothing to worry about. The spots stopped after 2 months. But last week I began to see the spots again, smaller, but still there.

When I read about central serous retinopathy several things made sense - both times I was under severe stress AND undergoing treatments with corticosteroids. Also, I have a very low threshold for stress.

I'll make a new appointment and specifically mention this and ask for tests.

Again, thank you!
This is actually ANKER's followup to the first projector they launched last year under the brand Nebula. They raised just above $1.2 mm USD. I'm actually a backer of their first project and my main complaints were the low resolution. But in this new version, they've both increased the resolution and battery life.
I think you're waving away my point. I was trying to say that people 1000 years ago disliked bears and wolves because people would die. Roads weren't safe. The problems with boars pale in significance to the problems bears and wolves caused. OP said "we're currently having large issue in Europe for having eradicated most boars' natural predators" - but these issues aren't larger than the problems that boars' natural predators caused, which would've been obvious to anyone who lived at a time when they still existed.
To me the sweet spot is a $8k car (Toyota Corolla) with 6 years of usage and keep it for at least 4 more years.
Aren't insurance costs way higher than the amortized cost of the car itself? Especially in the UK?

> In the US you have the issue that a car might be a hard requirement to get to work. In that case I'd probably just buy two and drive them on alternate days so there's always a backup.

As long as you're not paying almost double insurance, this sounds like a good option. You could even rent the other car out on the C2C rental exchange.

Of course they don't. But you can't declare dependence on an ecosystem, simultaneously declare that the ecosystem is stupid, then have people take you seriously.
It was just the same about 23 years ago. My cousin was raised by TV/PC screen, drunk dad and overprotective mother that would do anything to keep him quiet (screen worked the best).

He was kind of ADHD person, never confirmed by anyone, but he was jumping in place everytime something exciting was on the screen, always wanted to move around, hit other people. And most noticeable - he was furious when somebody told him to turn off tv/pc.

I've seen many not behaving kids of course, this one had uncontrolled access to technology even then.

And now we're alarmed? We had a lot of time to notice. Don't forget that TV and computer isn't something new. People were addicted to mobile phones (without internet of course, just SMS) even 10 years ago.

I'm no expert on Tesla's economics, but on the "running close to the edge" point I would think it's not about being forced to be there, it's just the leadership trying to innovate as much as possible for each of its products -- the result of which being close to the edge is. In other words: they could have spent much less -- but why not do as much as possible if you know you'll survive. This strategy might, of course, back-fire if you fly too close to the sun but thus far it apparently hasn't. And now is payoff time I guess :)
This looks nice; I'll have a play when I have some time.

One thing that's not immediate clear from the examples: how (if at all) are you avoiding Flash-Of-Unstyled-Content on initial load? Might it be better to put the markdown in a <noscript> block rather than (or as well as) a <textarea> when editing isn't required?

I agree Earning and cash flow can be manipulated. To improve cash flow just don't pay your vendors for a quarter. To improve earning you can shift they delivery time from 1q to another. It did look AP went up for Tesla by about 500mil so did AR which is kind of strange, but their Quarter still looked great.
If you buy a new car and resell it after 3 years, you can end up spending the same amount as you would do with a used car. You always run the risk of a bad accident ruining your investment but that's also what insurances are for. With a used car you run a higher risk of having unforeseen failures much earlier than you would want.

All in all I am still buying second hand cars but the investment into new cars is not what it seems at first.

This is the reality. I lost days playing Red Alert. Video games used to be fun. The used to be challenging. Even Super Mario Bros 3 was a challenging game that provided a sense of accomplishment.

Today gaming is much broader. Video games have merged with the larger gaming world (gambling). Most iOS games aren’t fun. They aren’t challenging. The are games of random chance at best. Like video poker or a Vegas slot machine you just press a button and hear a “winning” sound, even if you didn’t win.

It’s the weirdest thing when you watch somone playing a game like this and ask them, “Is it fun,” and their answer is, “Not really.”

Well sure you obviously need a field guide to edible plants, otherwise you'd likely poison yourself regardless.

And yeah you can't just eat them because the seeds have arsenic, but since that boils off at just over room temperature all you need to do is put them through a food mill to remove the seeds and then sautee the juice for a few min with the exhaust fan on.
> Web era began around the rise of LCD displays. CRTs are too non-linear for most people to tolerate black on white, so its a status symbol from around the turn of the century to do white on black.

How does this account for things like Atari TOS, MacOS, OS/2 or any early version of Windows that all mainly use black on white for text? The "web era" depending on how you define it could of course have coincided with the LCD era (though in my experience happened more than half a decade earlier, which is generations in computer technology time) but the web didn't somehow invent black text on white backgrounds.
As bfuller already said, they do exist. I got my 2005 Honda Accord (Manual) on craigslist (2 days of research) for $2900.

If nobody buys $35,000 cars, then people are buying $25,000 cars and you have instead a steady supply of reliable 10-year-old $3500 cars.

My observation about all white collar jobs to which epithets "creative" and "strategic" are applicable: they are way way more vulnerable to automation than a "grunt" work.

I'm in a fairly expensive metro area and 10-year-old Priuses are about $3500. Not hard to find, and if a good mechanic does a pre purchase inspection and doesn't find anything major wrong - they are extremely reliable cars even now. Plan to spend another $500 on tires, as with any used car. The only thing most shops can't easily check is the HV battery cells; even if that goes out, again, there are shops that will replace the battery pack for under $1000.
I think it's less about the screen time, and more about what's on the screen.

Echoing some of the existing comments: Games and sites today are vastly different than they were 20 years ago.

Games like Civilization, Quake, Diablo, C&C, Mortal Kombat, Tony Hawk etc... were definitely addictive.

But modern games like Fortnite and Clash of Clans are not engineered the same way. They are specifically designed to function like a slot machine.

I was an avid "gamer" growing up. I wasn't always the most responsible with it. Probably overdid it a lot. But I can see with my own child, this is a different ball-game altogether.

Not sure what the fix is either, other than ruthless enforcement of quotas.
To add to your "cars can be resold" comment: my friend drives Masaratis. He always has an eye out on used inventory and snags the under-priced ones. Continuously flips them for same price he bought it for after driving for awhile (6 mo to 2 years). Many sellers are the very rich folk constantly buying new cars or who's work have been re-assigned to a different country.
This article is set about 20 years prior to common lisp's standardization. It was a reasonable belief then.
