It may not be the case here, but Laboratory Schools are pretty common in early childhood development programs. Basically normal elementary classrooms located on college campuses for researchers to observe.

>A laboratory school or demonstration school is an elementary or secondary school operated in association with a university, college, or other teacher education institution and used for the training of future teachers, educational experimentation, educational research, and professional development....Some lab schools are only for preschool or kindergarten children, some are preschool through fifth or sixth grade, and some continue through high school...Laboratory school classrooms may be observed by university professors to assess the student-teacher, but it is desired that the observation be done without the students or student-teachers aware of the observation, thereby avoiding creating a distraction or disruption of classroom activities.

Invite HN: Blockchain Against Evil, Next Week in SF
Hello everyone. My name is Sonya Mann and I run communications at the Zcash Foundation. I'm also a longtime Hacker News reader and commenter, because the inside view of the tech industry is fascinating.

Next week I'm co-hosting an event in San Francisco called Blockchain Against Evil: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/blockchain-against-evil-tickets-52069749021

> Imagine that you're a supervillain and you want to fund your dastardly plans. You know what might come in handy? Decentralized, censorship-resistant, anonymous payments technology.

> As members of the nascent blockchain industry, we plan to keep building that technology anyway, but we want to minimize the opportunities for supervillains. (Or even regular villains.)

> The organizers of Blockchain Against Evil believe that an open, permissionless financial system will have tremendous benefits for civil society. At the same time, it will enable bad actors to wreak havoc in new ways. Even if the harm doesn't outweigh the good, limiting harm is still a worthwhile goal.

> Blockchain Against Evil is an opportunity to come together and brainstorm: What might bad actors come up with? How can the rest of us can design around their ill intentions without limiting everyone's freedom?

Hopefully at least a couple of you will be able to attend! (You don't actually have to work on blockchain stuff, just be interested in the topic.) Tickets are $20 and all proceeds go to a nonprofit called Open Privacy.

According to Aristotle's "Nicomachean Ethics", happiness is the greatest good in life.

The pursuit of a meaningful life puts way too much pressure on identifying what is meaningful and worth our energies. That would probably decrease my happiness.

What if I can't find any pursuit that I consider to be the most meaningful? Am I OK committing to something that could potentially be less than optimal in terms of meaningfulness?

It isn't that important for me to evaluate my actions on meaningfulness - I'm bound to disappoint my self by that metric.

Prioritizing meaningfulness over happiness is putting the cart before the horse, in my mind.

It is not just the English-speaking world. Most of Europe experienced a baby-boom in the years after WWII (Germany a decade later). This had very real social consequences, for example the impact of the youth culture in the late 60's. So at least the baby-boom generation is not an arbitrary distinction but a very real social phenomenon.

That said, I think "milleanials", "gen-X" etc. are arbitrary divisions - just a shorthand for talking about a specific age group.
Weird syntax? Maybe you should try Haskell, OCaml, Erlang, or even Rust instead. Then come back to Go and tell me if it's actually that "weird."
The problem is that children with ADHD are acting somewhat how healthy - but much younger - children naturally act.

There seems to be another component though. Adults with ADHD can be quite "mature" in most respects, while still having trouble related to the disorder.

Hyperactivity and lack of impulse control are only part of the disorder, and not necessarily that pronounced.
Point 1 wasn't a problem for adopting GraphQL for us because our end-points are very dynamic so we set no-cache headers on everything anyway. That said, clients like Apollo will let you issue GET requests instead of POSTs for queries if you prefer.

In regards to point 2: GraphQL definitely doesn't make it harder to implement front-end logic. I'm not sure how to back up this claim because it's not apparent to me why one would think that GraphQL complicates this.
> GraphQL can work with GET

So I've heard, which is why I chose my wording carefully. Does anyone actually do that?
The compound effect of this is much worse than it looks because the money that you have that you can make work for you is the surplus and when you earn that much less your surplus drops by a much larger percentage still.

A good friend of mine went to India to sit with a guru. He made them meditate underneath a highway overpass in the “slums” for days on end. His message was basically meditation isn’t about putting on pretty music and sitting by a waterfall. Anyone can meditate at a 5 star resort spa. It’s when life hits you in the face that you need to be able to find inner peace, no matter what is going on around you.
There is a lot of variance in error rate in biological human nerves as well. Certainly a lot of people on the low-end of the bell curve could benefit.

Interesting to consider whether a 'filter' could be made for people with parkinson's that would drop tremor noise while preserving intentional actions. Perhaps with robotic exosleeves tremor could be offset/counteracted - or eventually we could input the filtered signal back into the nerve.
Onboard with meaning > happiness in general.

However, you could argue that we evolved to optimize our reproduction in one of several strategies. For some, it means their best bet is to settle with one family, for others it means profligate mating with dozens of partners. If so, by your logic, neither lifestyle would have any more inherent meaning than the other.

And, well, the 400,000 years of itinerant existence with much stronger evolutionary selection pressures vs. 10,000 years of agrarian society with less intense selection pressures doesn't seem commensurate.

You're arguing very hard for your chosen lifestyle, which includes some sunk cost bias.

Personally, I've done the settled-down thing and the hobo life and neither is more inherently meaningful than the other.

Perhaps you could argue that a pair-bond and a single location and community makes climbing Maslow's hierarchy of needs easier in our current society - that I might buy.
When you consider the impact war reportage had on the later conduct of the war in Vietnam, would you say that for the implied "they" here, (who refused to release hustons work), "they" may have been "right" in as much as support for war falls, when the damage war causes everyone is exposed?

I just started learning Rust for a small project, and I found its "one clear path" model very appealing (I don't know if it is a formal goal, or if it's just a happy accident based on a smaller, more focused, community). It doesn't just apply to the package manager, but that's one of the first bits a beginner sees. Rust has a single, easy-to-find, "pretty good" answer for nearly every question a beginner asks, at least, it has, so far, for me. Cargo is that answer for packages and for building, and it's pretty good, and there's no debate about how to install or build Rust tools and libraries.

I didn't really find that to be the case with Go, so even though Go is a simpler language, I have been more productive, much more quickly, in Rust. Within a couple of hours of starting my project (with only a cursory glance over the docs and tutorial) I had my project daemonized, had options parsing working, had system calls working, got logging working, etc. It was shocking how quickly I was up and running.

I'd been hesitant to try Rust, because it looks big, and I'm kinda tired of big languages. I just don't have enough time/motivation to study a bunch of nuanced syntax and such; I'll never be a great C++ programmer, though I can muddle through and usually understand other people's C++ code. But, so far, Rust is proving to be one of the easier languages I've learned lately, partly due to the holy path being well-defined, and partly due to strong libraries that overlap my particular project perfectly (being a systems language built by very smart people, it has some very good systems libraries).

I don't mean to imply Go is a hard language, it's not. I picked it up pretty quickly, too. Both are easier to learn than, say, JavaScript, because they're much smaller. But, I agree that there isn't a super clear path forward for a beginner with Go, including with installing and building. You just have to acquire more tribal knowledge to work in Go than in some other languages (but, much less than many others...older languages tend to have tons of that kind of thing).
Itchio outshines Steam by staying small and weird
Part of me wants to try the experience you've had. I also breezed through school and am tortured by office mundanity, and I waited until 29 to finally get on medication for ADHD. It helped a lot, but it's definitely not a solution. I'm more focused than I was, but I'm still very scattered.

It's a bit like buzz lightyear saying he's flying when really he's "falling with style". Adderall takes me from falling like a ragdoll to falling with style. Better than nothing, but I still don't feel like I have the mental properties that "normal" people seem to.

Off the meds, I have the apparently typical ADHD mentality of "totally gone 90% of the time, uninterruptible superhuman flow state 10% of the time". Have you found that this dynamic changes or is evened out fully by the meds? I've found that it's tamed slightly but not nearly in full, and not sure if that's as good as it gets or if I should be trying to make more adjustments.

I agree this is an opinion that i've held for a long time. making the space of conversation more welcoming promotes free speech, however i'm slightly skeptical of the trans example simply because i think there are more people who are transphobic than trans.

Yes, it's true that (at least in the US) greater career choice for women has come with declining real wages. So that now, both partners need to work. Some argue that effectively doubling the workforce has played a major role. Or that people just expect to have more stuff. But the power of unions to maintain livable wages has eroded over the same time frame. And maybe it's all connected.

Technically Dockerfiles don't let you do that (they used to https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/13026) but in theory it should be possible to construct a Docker image from multiple base images (e.x. https://grahamc.com/blog/nix-and-layered-docker-images)
That's one of the best analogies I've heard. Thanks for that.
I mean it's not just in NYC and SF. There is a housing affordability crisis in basically every cosmopolitan city in the world. And it's clearly generational - people who grow up in these cities are unable to afford to purchase there, despite being in the same socioeconomic class as their parents who did purchase there.

There seems to be a global undersupply of housing development in the largest cities.

My guess would be that the growing information economy has meant a much denser concentration of well-paying jobs in a small fraction of cities (farming was obviously very spread out, and industrialization somewhat spread out as well, since factories naturally require space), coupled with the double populaton bulge from baby boomers and their children, the millennials. Additionally, outside East Asia, communities seem to have become increasingly unable to dream big and invest in large scale development.

I have no skin in this game, but...

1) This is more of a client implementation issue than a GraphQL issue; there's nothing about the GraphQL spec that mentions what HTTP method to use. Most people use POST because it makes the most sense in the general case but there's no reason you can't move the query from a POST body to a GET query string.

2) This question seems odd to me. The real win from GraphQL is a reduction in overfetching - if you're tailoring a REST endpoint specifically to your needs the response should be functionally identical to a GraphQL response (i.e. only the data you need). These are just paradigms for passing data - the one you choose shouldn't have much impact on how said data is used.
Been tried. Like a couple hundred million times over, both in studies and by parents trying to figure out what do with an ADHD child.

It's not like parents aren't motivated to change their children's behavior to be more manageable...
Yeah, I'll again say that I've 100% met militant atheists before and they're quite an annoying bunch. But...

> The extent of my knowledge there was the christian underpinnings of Chick-fil-A's founder and the statements made in the article.

In the majority of these cases, people usually don't care about religion, as much as political views. IE: They may be pro-choice (while religious are typically pro-life), and that's what they're really annoyed about.

Or in this case, the Chick-Fil-A situation is 100% a gay rights issue more so than anything else.

Even the "Satanic Temple" is really just a bunch of trolls / a political group who are mostly concerned about separation of church-and-state issues. The "Satanic Temple" just uses the same tactics as right-wingnuts do: "Trigger the snowflakes". In any case, the entire strategy is to try to make the other side look bad by trolling and acting worse. I severely doubt that anyone in the Satanic Temple actually worships Satan, they seem to be atheists / secularists for the most part.

------------

Again, militant atheists who look down upon religion certainly exist. But they aren't commonly in major positions of power in my experience. So I'm always weary when any group blames things as a "War on Christians".
It's not stupid at all, it's just no longer appropriate. For most of human existence, being cast out of the group meant almost certain death within weeks.
Can this have anything to do with the increasing use of cell phones and tablets by small children?

At a relative's house about a week before Thanksgiving, having McDonalds at the table, the children were actively busily engaged with noisy tablet games and videos at the table. Definitely not something that would be allowed at my house.

"AWS-based data center" reminds me of the way the term "data room" is used in business bookkeeping. A bunch of print-outs in a secure part of the building representing your business's books, is a "physical data room." But a bunch of digital files in a secure part of a server, if those are also a representation of your business's books, is referred to as a "virtual data room."

In a similar sense, an AWS VPC is a "virtual data center."

Funny, I've been unable to get credit for any of my stays Marriott hotels in the last year.

I don't stay in hotels enough to get to higher rewards tiers so I just wrote it off. This likely explains all my failed attempts to accrue nights...
They are rooted in science in the sense that they make predictions based on a sensible model that seem to match the past and predict reality better than any other available theory.

They are not rooted in science in the sense of sophistry where they are anti-authoritarian and anti-conformist. Its impossible to express something new without being in conflict with established authority.

Its actually a fairly normal situation for all paradigm shifts. Kuhn wrote a book about it named "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions" about a half century ago; it seems a pretty accurate model for how real paradigm change happens in societies (as opposed to idealized theory).

I'm not saying you're wrong and certainly not in any sort of value judgment but am saying that historically there seems to be no possible way for a paradigm shift to roll out without those relatively standard feelings and attitudes toward change you express.

The legacy model seems to result in sad middle aged lonely cat ladies for no obvious reason; clearly that model doesn't work well enough; the paradigm shift proposes a workable model with successful predictions, perhaps workable solutions.

It's interesting because one thing about ADHD, and Autism Spectrum disorders too, is that diagnosis is very dependent on people having a base point to compare against. That's why for most of these disorders, you're more likely to be diagnosed if you're 2nd born and 1st born doesn't have it. The parents are familiar with how the first child developed and can see the discrepancy sooner.

Meanwhile, in cases like my family, where me, my sister, my Dad, some cousins, and probably my mom's siblings too all fit the criteria for ADHD (we're a family of troublemakers) - my parents couldn't tell anything was off. When my cousins got a diagnosis through school, my parents were skeptical of the whole thing. But the treatment they got for it early on helped a ton and those cousins turned out better adjusted in many ways than my sister and I who didn't get diagnosed til adulthood.

It's funny though because now I have a step-niece (no biological relation) and my mom keeps commenting on how crazy well behaved she is, because she doesn't run around every time they go to a restaurant or talk incessantly or constantly run into things... So from her perspective, children without ADHD-behaviors are the abnormal ones. Go figure.
It’s not true for men to anything like the same extent.

I totally understand why you don’t have the energy for another kid. We’re the same age and I don’t think I’ve got the energy for one kid.

But the fact remains that biologically you could have another kid now or in 10, perhaps even 20 years. For a woman that’s a virtual impossibility. You can’t pretend it’s the same thing.

I've used Asana in a couple of projects and actually like it for its simplicity and ease of doing things like copy pasting multi line issues from a spreadsheet, text file, or chat; easy editing with multi select; and similar features that make the product feel more similar to a spreadsheet than an annoying issue tracker where every click results in modal dialogs with OK buttons and other cruft. I hate stuff like Jira with a passion and it doesn't do anything for me that I 1) need 2) Asana does not do in a way that is more convenient.

That being said, it's not 1.5B dollars cool and that kind of multi billion valuation creates unrealistic expectations that cannot possibly be fulfilled by staying humble and focusing on just what Asana does best. So, this kind of investment smells like a kiss of death. I fear the worst here in terms of layering on features nobody wanted, and attempts to make the product more appealing for the masses, etc. Is this going to be an actual IPO or a lazy acquihire by some company in need of an issue tracker?
