The problem, of course, is that it's really difficult for a parent to differentiate between the various types of things kids can do on their screens, especially for someone who is less tech savvy in general. This isn't to say that it shouldn't be done, just that it's hard.

Personally, if I had to select one "easy avenue" to ban or restrict, it would be not screens but internet access. This has the side effect of putting the parent in charge of acquiring new content.
The riverwalk is great; they're expanding it more and more every year. I believe the intent is to extend it along the south branch of the river (currently it covers just the east branch to the lake) all the way to Ping Tom park (Chinatown).
It may be on par, but that's total comp. My understanding is that the 'Flix doesn't do bennies, matching, vesting over time, etc., they just throw straight cash at you.

Reduces their overhead -- no plan administrators, etc. -- and no abstractions or surprise fine print in the 401k matching or classes of stock or whatever.
I wouldn’t want to even say “designed” as much as grown organically around us over a few hundred years.
That's the core irony of the PC revolution. PCs started out with the explicit goal of being something different than mainframes and minis. But when people started networking them together, the only way to keep them viable was to essentially turn them into mainframes and minis, just in different shaped boxes. So we've gotten to live through 20 years of PC vendors reinventing things that big-iron users had access to long ago.

Nobody has actually believed in that for decades, and it certainly isn't present in the public consciousness.
Wikipedia is informative, at the very least. It's the same reason why you don't see an outcry about people spending time at the library.

Youtube can be informative as well, although the majority of it is not. I consider YouTube to be as much of a problem as FB/Instagram, with the caveat that it can, by design, have useful content (which the other two cannot).

It Looks Like AMD Linux Developers Have Begun Work on Zen 2/EPYC 2 Rome Support
It astounds me how often I see ads for slot machine games on mobile. How could that possibly be fun? I guess there's an implication that you can actually win stuff, which I know isn't true. But them I've never seen the appeal of real slot machines either.

> The same people that buy organic peas also have a paranoia about screens. How unsurprising.

A lot of parents lack sophistication when it comes to "screen time".

I have multiple in-laws who seem to not understand that it's what is on the screen that matters. As you predicted, those same people are also prone to magical thinking about other things: vaccination, fluoride, radio waves, GMOs, etc.

This has multiple effects. First, they tend to over-limit access to useful aspects of computers. Second, they tend to allow toxic uses of the screen-time (allowing an hour of pocket slot machine time each day, which is IMO super excessive).

A stretched analogy: it's similar to a parent who doesn't understand the difference between alcohol and water, and therefore limits their children's access to liquid to a few times a day. However, during those few hours, the kids get to drink whatever they want out of the liquor cabinet. Obviously, the cabinet should be off-limits 24/7 but the water faucet should be freely available.

Similarly, kids should not be allowed to play pocket slot machines or watch youtube with zero restriction/oversight. But there's nothing wrong with allowing near-infinite screen time for other uses, because it's not the screen itself that's the problem.

Concretely, my kids will have unrestricted access to an Apple ][ with an Apple BASIC interpreter and manual. I doubt that will cause any problems that aren't also caused by unlimited access to microscopes or pH strips.

Of course, their access to iPad games and Netflix will be moderated in the same way their access to TV will be moderated.

But a lot of parents -- especially non-tech-literate parents -- lump it all in as "screentime", which causes them to both under-moderate what's going on when the screen is on and over-moderate access to the screen for healthy uses.

> GitHub will retain its product philosophy. We love GitHub because of the deep care and thoughtfulness that goes into every facet of the developer’s experience. I understand and respect this, and know that we will continue to build tasteful, snappy, polished tools that developers love.

> Ultimately, my job is to make GitHub better for you.

Whenever I see a product claim it's "for you", I cringe. You just can't put something on the web or on TV and say "for you" and have it mean anything useful.

What I always loved about GitHub was that it was the underdog, so they naturally built tools so that a couple of developers in a garage (well, cafe) could have access to the same type of tools that a Fortune-100 company has (and has to pay companies like IBM big bucks to install and maintain). It's using technology to help those with fewer resources, which is to me the entire purpose of technology.

Almost everything I've seen from GitHub in the past year or two has been to help enterprise developers at big established companies. Creating giant workflows and integrating with legacy systems and such. The little things that individuals use are slipping through the cracks. When I reported that the milestone date-picker went away for Safari users, for example, they just told me "Sorry".

"Developers" has become a dirty word. It's a weasel word that companies use to try to convince me they're talking about me, while actually talking about someone and something completely different. If you can't be more specific than that, you're almost certainly wasting my time.

I miss the GitHub whose homepage had logos of little startups I'd barely heard of, and direct links to new and interesting repos. Now they've got IBM and SAP and Walmart logos. It's clear that the "developers" they're targeting no longer includes me.
If it had been started in e.g the game development scene there would have been some other design decisions made. The idea that the source tree is rather small and the history is short and there are few binary assets managed are definitely showing in the design.
Not yet. Applied 16 hours late.
The kind where VC subsidizes everything and people start to expect it for free, but when it comes time to pay, they have difficult decisions to make, and VCs require growth of their investments, so management also has difficult decisions to make.

Github would be unknown today if it wasn’t free for personal use.
This is the case, yes, but generally insurance companies are aware that you can only drive one car at once and adjust premiums appropriately.

That said, in the UK it's hard for me to think of a circumstance in which two cars would be a hard requirement for someone who can't 'afford' a decent car.

Here, you probably live in or close to a city. You might not want to cycle in or get a taxi/bus to work every day, but if your car fails you could probably do that whilst getting another one.

So the second car is only necessary if you live in the country, which is a minority, it's nowhere near as common as the sort of "live 30 miles outside of work with no train station" stuff that happens in the US.

If my car breaks it doesn't really even matter. I use it because it's easier to do big supermarket runs and saves a bit of time here and there; the cost equation works out roughly equivalent to using public transport.
> "I think Elixir has reached peak adoption"

I'd say the opposite. Core libraries have reached stability and engineering hours are switching to making easy what classic imperative/OOP paradigms have trouble doing:

- Dynamic web development without giant Javascript dependencies(Liveview, Drab, etc)

- Scalable distributed systems without giant teams (Firenest, Phoenix Channels/PubSub)

- Concurrency and data-infrastructure (Flow, Genstage, OTP)

- Reactive event-driven systems: OTP and the Actor model makes event-sourcing easier than you'll see anywhere else.

- Usual conveniences: User-management, HTTP clients/libraries

The next 2 years are going to get wild for Elixir.

I'm not who you're responding to, but I like this longread from the Verge about the specific design of slot machines that fuel addictive behaviour by users:

https://www.theverge.com/2015/5/6/8544303/casino-slot-machin...
Have you tried meditating? If I understand correctly it is supposed to train you to do exactly what you want: to be able to focus intently on one thing and not get distracted.
There used to be. Not sure what happened to it.
I'd say the law should pool together the defense and plaintiff budgets and split it half and half for each parties lawyers who then would auction for the right to represent.

Thus giving each party comparable lawyers, driving down the cost of legal representation and giving everybody a fairer process.
I think games can have a place. Even dumb games like Lemmings can have some place.

And some games really can be educational, or develop thinking skills, etc. I wonder what game critics would say about a child spending hours a day playing Chess.

But all chess and no soccer is not a good mix. All Fortnite and no chess is not a good mix. In fact, I seriously question the value of any Fortnite or Minecraft. As entertainment, a little bit isn't worse than many other entertainments. But too much is too much.

And as far as entertainment goes, I'm tired of yet another Marvel movie where we can blow up as many things as possible in the most spectacular ways and never even think about consequences. I know it's goofy to worry about real life when we are talking about mythological characters and aliens. But I do think that we spend a huge amount of time and money to train youth to disconnect from real life. If somebody dies on the other side of town, it isn't real so it doesn't matter. If you have to kill 100 opponents to get to the princess, it's all part of the game.

But many years ago we played cops and robbers and killed each other, too. Or cowboys and Indians. And we argued about whether somebody should be dead or not because of how many times they'd been shot. And we graduated from pointing fingers to rubberbands to add some realism. Then paintballs.

So I suppose the human brain is capable of sorting it all out.

But I think it is healthy to feed the brain some balance. Put down the controller and join a service project now and then. Adopt a highway, or visit a care center. Connect with real people and remind your brain that video games aren't real. And stealing cars isn't the only way to win the game. In fact, it's just wrong.
> Not paying these bonuses would have certainly resulted in a court case and publicity that Google perhaps thought, at the time, would be negative. So they probably rationalized that resolving the situation by a) paying a settlement to the victim, b) ending Rubin's employment and c) not having to go to court and face that bad PR was the prudent approach.

And we all agree that this 'prudent approach' was objectively terrible, right? Not just in the hindsight of post-#MeToo PR. At the time it was actually wrong and a bad thing to do.

Explaining the reasoning behind unethical behavior does not make it more ethical.
> But I'm not quite sure what's holding up general purpose CPUs (even just something crappy/good-enough).. The way I understand it CPUs aren't just beefy microcontrollers and they require some extra onchip hardware, but no one has done that yet for some reason.. Maybe someone knows better :)

There's general-purpose RISC-V CPU RTL lying around, and it's not too difficult to license the necessary peripherals, but it costs money to put together a board and fabricate at volume if you want to hit a Raspberry Pi/hobbyist price point. Unfortunately, it takes time and you need a market to justify the effort. But eventually it'll happen.
I'm in the same boat as you. One thing I've learned over the last few years is that the problem with "phone addition" has more to do with the lack of boredom than any physical effects.

The really short version is that there's some science that suggests that periods of boredom increase creativity. By constantly keeping active with your phone, we're losing this "boredom time".

Personally, I've made a habit of occasionally just doing nothing every now and then. Put the phone away; don't listen to anything. It's actually great for my commute home (I take a bus). I can just sit/stand and not do anything and just relax for a few minutes on the way home.

Personally, I think the biggest problem here isn't that kids are spending a lot of time looking at their screens. It's that parents _aren't_ spending a lot of time engaging with their kids about the content.

When a screen is used to distract a child - or anyone,really - instead of engage them, that's where the problem arises.
Glad to see people posting links to music modeling projects - it's a huge space, and a ton of fun to actively work on or just mess with if you like music and code. Even simple markov models can get someplace with a bit of tweaking [0][1].

If you like this, you might like some more recent work from Anna huang et. al. at Magenta, using a modified Transformer network [2][3].

Some other relevant reading includes DeepBach [4][5], and outside the domain of Bach alone, the venerable folkRNN [6]. There's a huge chain of work I posted a while back here [7], and Kyle McDonald wrote a really great review piece here [8].

Modeling music in latent spaces has also seen a number of recent publications [9][10][11], and having smooth latent spaces for generation seems (to me) to be a very natural interface for manipulating things, which has a natural analogue in "real" composition, cool video at [12].

There have also been some really fun online demos for interacting with these types of systems [13]

There's a lot of interesting work going on in music modeling, hopefully leading to new and interesting musical tools and toys. Interactivity (often via clever conditioning) can really change the way you approach these types of problems [14].

Of course they weren't accurate, that's why I went to the library to learn more. But they transformed learning about history and geography from something tedious into something I would do on my own, in free time. Self-motivated learning, I think, is something special.
The fact that parents have had somewhat silly concerns about past technologies does not discount current concerns.

I truly believe that the new crop of "psychologically optimized" mobile games and apps have crossed a line in this regard. Books, movies, comics etc were of course designed to be appealing and enjoyable, but were not specifically designed to consume as much of your time as they possibly could.
I don't think a smartwatch would help, you'd just change what you're looking at.

What I do if I need to not be distracted:
- turn off all essential notifications on phone
- put your phone on silent
- place phone behind your view to the left or right, upside down

This way if your family needs to reach you, they'll call/message and you'll hear it vibrate and handle it. Otherwise you won't even see it. Just make sure they are only contacting you for real things, and not to say hi, at least when you're trying to concentrate.
Enabled in FF Nightly 65.0a1 (2018-10-26) (64-bit) and it felt a little sluggish especially with regards to scrolling. I understand it's in beta but I guess I was expecting things to "feel" faster. Tried resizing larger sites/pages and things felt snappy but scrolling felt jumpy and off.

That said, can't wait for this to come out of beta!
you sound like that rick and morty copypasta. embarrassing.
I keep wanting to move to Elixir but always go back to Erlang. Any advice?
Yes, and those who do use it have been increasingly frustrated by what MS has done to it since then.
I mean, I read the codebase, which is why I'm saying it's small and easily understood. Sure, it has some specific things to know, and some ("magical") helpers like automatic view functions. But it's no more its own platform than any other micro-framework.

I'd be interested to know what you believe the ups and downs are, aside from speed.
> is a point worth noting.

What is your point again?

Either way, you will always be at the whims of your customer. So why is that a disadvantage when bootstrapping?
> Emails sent from your domain usually constitute valid contracts

Gonna need a source on that one, chief.
> GrayKey is a completely unethical company. They are selling unauthorized access to people's devices. The fact that their main clients are law enforcement officers is irrelevant.

I'd say this is an example of a higher ethic or moral at stake. Not everyone agrees with you that law enforcement access to a device is always unethical. It certainly can be, if the police are acting unethically (which some do). But if they are properly investigating a crime and get a warrant, that's going to cross into the OK zone for a lot of people.

> I can't believe you'd suggest that Apple is in the wrong for hindering GrayKey's efforts.

I did not suggest that and I don't believe that. I think it's great that Apple is fixing their device security.
I think this statement requires a source, millions of people are hacking auto-pilot like features each day, causing tens of thousands of fatalities? I don't know if I'd be ok with that, but I don't think it's true.
Well, a few orders of magnitude, anyway. It was more the notion that they were even conceivably comparable that stuck w/ me.
Thanks for bringing up the term ultra-productive. That's exactly why I began multitasking only to realize it is just far better to work on one thing at a time for the performance and for my happiness. It took me a long time to realize this, but I am glad I figured it out.
Amusingly in a thread on email scams and such you didn't read quite closely enough (plus OP didn't do a great job of differentiating either, maybe on purpose) :). Even ignoring the "sent from your domain = contract" assertion:

>Now on the next day my client received an email from "abicde@mydomain.com" stating that there is a change in invoice and revised invoice is again sent which had bank account details of a UK bank account.
>
>Now an email like "abicde@mydomain.com" doesn't exist at all.

Notice the "i", different from abcde@mydomain.com. He's saying it wasn't sent from the normal email account. The question I'd have is that OP uses "hacked" but there aren't actually any technical details here at all. Was one or the other mail servers genuinely compromised, or someone phished? Or were these emails simply spoofed? Or what? It sounds like it could have just been a forged From which is utterly trivial, every mildly serious spammer let alone spearphisher has done that forever. If the client "asked for a confirmation email" but the "email never reached" because it was a spoofed From and got blackhole'd but the client then took no response as confirmation that would probably be on the client.

Of course whatever the legal case there are other practical considerations, if this is a very valuable client then a certain amount of bending may be in order. It sounds like a pretty hokey order mechanism all around vs even just a simple HTTPS LE plain text web form and static invoice. And there is still the question of how exactly the phishing (if that's what it was) information was gathered for the spoofed invoice in the first place, insider job? Some other leak or hack?

But at least asking the client to try to get the money back seems fair enough. Money in that amount to a developed world bank should absolute be traceable. Alerting the banks and law enforcement should have been the absolutely immediate first move the instant anything amiss was realized. If it was the client's fault and the money really is gone somehow (or even will just take along while to recover) then at least splitting the different shouldn't be unreasonable.
> Banking standards here in the EU impose a 13 months period during which the sender (order sender) can ask for a full refund

Is this really true? Do EU bank transactions really take 13 months to fully clear?
That book is a miracle of clear presentation. Worth looking at even if you never write a line of Lisp/Scheme in your life.
Have to go where the money is, and if we're at the end of the business cycle where VCs are making it rain, startups aren't where the money is at. Businesses run on cash, not hopes, dreams, and aspirations. Think about that the next time you're on the free tier of a service you love and can't live without.
As a subordinate, I would think once a month is more than adequate. How often do things change in your career path where you would need that much time to discuss it. Obviously there are times you may need to meet more frequently but shouldn't that be on the subordinate to schedule if they are interested in their future?
2008 occurred when TSLA was insignificantly small. Most had never even heard of it, and they started selling the roadster in 2008 - by 2012 they sold 2200 cars.

Point being they were small enough that a couple of investors, or Musk by himself, can support the company through the storm.

If the financial crisis would hit today, Musk couldn’t keep it afloat by himself for long and would have to raise serious amounts of capital to keep a company its size.

So no. Tesla, as a serious car company, has yet to live through a financial storm. Not as anything other than a niche vanity project.
I still have a 3.25 "floppy" with my QFG character on it.
Well sure, we can say there's a prerequisite amount of fun to be had in the first place. Addiction is for pleasure not pain, at least for the average person. Something must not be so off-putting that you don't have a chance to get addicted. For example, a cigarette that caught your mouth on fire would probably not be smoked again. The fact that some (or even most, may be your point) games set your mouth on fire does not mean the addiction factor isn't there. It just means they're more boring than they are addictive in that critical early stage.
I remember when they moved Hotmail to Windows servers, took more than one try, if memory serves.
Argh! I was desperate to join FilmStruck, but I do my streaming through my PS4, and at launch they didn't support the PS4 but promised that was coming real soon now. So I waited. And waited. And waited. And now they're shutting down.
