The current version of ChangeOver is like an assembler! I had to go through this painful process to build "base" version. I understand you. What you're seeing right now is just point&click GUI, relational database and point&click programming with REPL. Nothing new. But there will be a lot more. Today's IDEs can finish the words(sometimes lines) for you. ChangeOver will finish your algorithms. Try imagine two cloud apps side by side and you just connect them without using APIs or some 3rd party services like Zapier. And more.

I believe that everyone wants to make their ideas real. And sure, there will be always incidental complexity and people will suffer a little bit. Today's platforms don't really have IDEs, they just tell you: give us file with javascript/python/etc.. Web, Mobile and Desktop apps are mostly fixed for end-user. That's why I really like PowerPoint for it's all in one(run/browse presentation, but also create/edit). Of course, presentations have limited use-cases.

What we need is a new "standard". People don't put Excel on their CVs anymore, because everyone knows it. When you have a problem with a spreadsheet you don't call MS technical support or outsource it like a web development, but you solve it inside the company. Web or WordPress are probably still too complicated.
These days? That's how it always worked so far.
You need to look at commercial Fortran compilers when talking about performance, e.g. PGI, Intel, XL, not gfortran.

Real jobs in real journalism earning real money are like gold dust. There's no shortage of people who can write and need work. You only need to onboard [small number]% willing to work for a promise to have a significant writing team.

But more than that - crypto is essentially a kind of late-capitalist faith-based cult founded on the premise of the holy alchemical transforming power of libertarian economics.

So I have a cynical suspicion there's probably significant overlap between the people who settle for the below-bargain-basement-rates offered for content marketing "journalism" (marketing >> journalism) and the people who believe so fervently in crypto they're happy to be paid with a promise.
Yes, if you define "government" as "executive", then parliament isn't the government. Pettifogging about definitions isn't helpful when the point of the comment was to emphasize that the distinction is less clear in the UK than the US. Besides which your definition excludes the entire civil service, which is part of the government. It also excludes the Queen, who is, technically, the executive, even if not in practice.

Also, if you define the executive as the PM, cabinet, and other ministers, then they are all members of parliament even when they aren't Members of Parliament (MPs). The ones who aren't members of the House of Commons (MPs) are members of the House of Lords, which is part of Parliament. There are rare cases of people not in either house being brought into the Cabinet, but that hasn't happened since the First World War, I believe.

Edit: Upon reflection, this whole conversation revolves around whether we say "government" or "Government". We're both right. I'm describing the "government". You're describing the "Government".
Thank you for the wonderfully detailed response I really appreciate it. I have one follow up question to your reply which is who maintains Amadeus, Sabre and Travleport? Are these consortiums similar to MasterCard and Visa then? I'm guessing these are all big mainframe operations?
I'd argue that this has a lot with to do with set point theory.

As humans, our curiosity arouses around novelty. The object will tend to lose its novelty over time, and we'll tend to progressively lose interest in it up to the point where we go back to 'set point'.

Hint: look for mechanisms in your side projects to add novelty to the system so that your interest doesn't plateau.

When we built https://sametab.com as an internal side project, we used to constantly brainstorm new ideas about how this could eventually become. The more ideas we were founding the more the project looked new and appealing at our eyes.
I've been caught by this also: I read it as 'chmod 777 /dev/kmem' which brings me a knee-jerk horror reaction.
Yes, its README explicitly says:

> I suspect these two put together are actually the reason why it's easier to learn languages as a child.

This is a difficult comparison to make. When we say easier, I think we mean without conscious effort (e.g bilingual kids). How old were you when you would consider yourself fluent in your native language?

Suppose you compared an adult with five years of Spanish lessons versus a five year old bilingual Spanish speaker. Almost certainly the child will have better conversational fluency and will be better at aural comprehension, but the adult is likely to be able to express more complex things. For example I'd expect someone with 5 years of regular Spanish lessons to be able to mostly comprehend a newspaper, ignoring specific vocab. I'm not sure I'd expect the same of a 5 year old.

But now imagine an adult with 5 years of (buzzword) immersive language training. You move to the country, you speak every day (and ask people to correct you), you watch TV shows and listen to the radio, you read the newspapers. I think you could easily be comparably fluent to a 5 year old bilingual.

What you're saying is true - kids have the advantage of parents correcting them constantly, if they go to a school in their second language they'll have teachers and classmates correcting them. Though I'd argue that hanging around kids will only make you as good as those kids. That is, you will become very fluent using the language simply (which is probably the hardest to learn as an adult), but it will still take years to know concepts that adults already know and can transfer.
Libraries are not playgrounds.

This idea that the primary functional purpose of an important space should be some kind of afterthought is rather depressing, but I guess is follows from the entertainment-centric culture we live in. The purpose of a library is to read, not to entertain your kids.
Not sure about that, in particular herding animals into the centre of towns and cities to be slaughtered must have been noisy. Also iron horseshoes on stone paving/cobbles were apparently very loud.
I agree with cars being the problem. I only thought about that when I learned that laws were drafted to force electric cars to make noise - for a brief couple of seconds I realised how different the world would be if all cars were silent... and then I got my hopes crushed.

I truly cannot picture what life would be like without car noise and light pollution.
I don't understand why browser vendors just don't have a simple "DISABLE AUTOPLAY EVERYWHERE UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES" type setting, that the browser then respects.

Ah acid ... the sound of the 303 has been with me ever since I got a copy of ReBirth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReBirth_RB-338 from Propellerhead Software back in the 90s. It's a software emulator of 2x TB303, a 909 and an 808 with distortion and delay effects. These instruments were basically the corner stone of dance music in the 80s and 90s and the software was just incredible at the time.

Before that I was using trackers on my dad's amiga but this was something different all together. I spent so many hours playing with this software and even got a Phatboy http://www.vintagesynth.com/misc/phatboy.php external midi controller with knobs. This was cutting edge stuff back then.

What's funny is that I discovered the software before I actually started listening to this kind of music, which wasn't easy to find during this time. When I started going out and then discovered acid house and psytrance, recognising the 303 sounds as what came out my little ReBirth program was amazing.

A little know fact is that an Indian artists may have actually "discovered" acid house before Pierre and all those guys did. "Charanjit Singh - Ten Ragas to a Disco Beat" is from 1982: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BN8M2irJVJA

The sound of a 303 is absolutely fascinating, timeless and unique and the "acid" genre is still a live as ever.

I can't even reliably pick out one voice in a largely empty room if there's other sources of noise (ie music playing in a pub, etc.) It makes things like meetups impossible and working in an open plan office a nightmare.
So the problem with C++ is that you need to write one of

Meet in your office. Or if you don’t have an office because you’re all remote, tell them that in clear terms and offer to meet at the client’s choice of 1) the client’s office; 2) a Starbucks; 3) a rented office in a coworking space (some will rent by the hour or day).

Not sure I understand what the problem is here.

As someone who works in healthcare clinically and also is a product designer, I agree with some certain parts of your idea. It would certainly help providers. While you are right that providers might not like documentation and filling out forms, other staffs like nursing hates typing reports. Getting rid of forms would lengthen nursing documentation which would directly delay patient care more than providers having to fill out forms. Delaying nursing care would stagnate patient flow which directly impacts hospital's bottom line. Furthermore, there are quality metrics and other stats hospitals measure that the cost of getting wrong would be more than the cost of spending a little extra to get it right since it affects ratings etc. Hospitals are too risk averse so how widely they depend on NLP would be questionable. What we need is better designers to design the EHRs better to actually fit the reality of operations. A lot of times you have hospital admins making decisions on form designs without understanding usability so you end up with horrible forms.

I don't think EHRs are going away anytime soon because of their strong integration and impact on hospital operations. I would love for Amazon to partner with existing EHR companies but those companies tend not to be very open with their applications. If anything, Amazon can use this as a way to get into the EHR business and slowly take away the operational control EHRs have over hospitals.
> there are luxuries of the rich that eventually, become less expensive and more accessible to people of more modest means

Inequality is rising, not falling.

For example, any person at all today can easily get their hands on weapon that would win them any fight with a caveman wielding a bone, sure. But today, there's tanks and satellites and whatnot -- the most powerless became WAY more powerless in contras to the most powerful. You don't compare the poor of today with the rich of yesterday, you compare the them with the rich of today. And you compare the poor of tomorrow with the rich of tomorrow.

> Rifles, muskets, long-bows and hand-grenades are inherently democratic weapons. A complex weapon makes the strong stronger, while a simple weapon - so long as there is no answer to it - gives claws to the weak.

Already it's pretty normal for rich people to consider themselves above socializing with poor people. Adding editing of genes on top of that might not just turn that wide gap into a fortified moat, complete with property rights and patents and enforcement of said patents (imagine getting a mutation by chance that you have no license for), it might also mess up the incentives for medical research even more.

Why find a cure for a disease that anyone can get, that is another "equalizer", when you can immunize yourself and your offspring to it? You may say all such things will always be made available to everybody, but how would you know now? What of the current behaviour of the powerful gives you reason to consider that likely? When it comes to biodiversity and the possibility of extinction, not many HN comments mention the people with the biggest footprints, but a lot mention "overpopulation". So how would that mesh with making the unwashed masses more resilient and healthy? Wouldn't it make more sense to go the opposite way? You see, "perhaps" isn't good enough with something like this. At these speeds, "eventually" steering means crashing into a wall.

My current style convention mixes several naming styles to help in distinguishing code visually.

I prefer camelCase for variables, which need to be typed repeatedly, and camel is fastest to type. I use snake_case for functions, UpperCamelCase for classes/types, and ALL_CAPS_SNAKE for configuration variables a user would be expected to edit.
I'm using only alacritty for the past year and at least on MacOS the rendering latency is in another level. The response is super fast while scrolling through text on less or vim, changing windows on tmux seems to happen instantly, even typing seems to happen without a delay compared to iTerm or Terminal.

One thing that I thought would justify this is that they don't support scrolling text by themselves and to have it you're required to rely on tmux or screen.
Although I'm a remainer I kind of like the HK/Singa no import duties system. From a business point of view a big plus is simplicity - instead of lots of regulations you just import / export stuff. I spent a while in HK aged 19 when it was considered a low wage place (58% of UK GPD) and now they are wealthier than us.

I agree a no deal brexit would be a mess. If you were going to switch to a HK system you'd want to plan it over some years.

I think the mechanism is supposed to be that you talk less, which in turn means you drink more.

Places serving food have piped music so you finish your meal more quickly so they sell more covers; you're unlikely to sit around chatting afterwards with music playing.

I like the way the news media tries to point at just one party to blame for any incident, and argues about which party should be to blame, when, like any incident, it was probably caused by tens of coinciding factors, and 'blame' really ought to be apportioned to all parties involved.

Immersion works much better if you have the bases because you can't have a conversation if you don't have the minimum level and nobody want to talk and waste their time to someone really bad (ain't nobody got time for that), especially in France.
