> Baloney. We'd have to rebuild all our cities. Stop for a minute and think seriously about the cost (even just the energy cost) of doing that.

Not doing it will likely be more expensive. There have been plausible studies that indicate the cost of dealing with the effects of climate change is significantly greater than what it would cost to avoid it.
I would also want to see Adobe Air opened sourced if Flash gets open sourced or re-implemented, Apache Flex is already opened. I think Flex4 and Microsoft WPF are the best way to create GUIs for apps
I had a Windows Phone, it had a lot of good things about it, but I have no desire for anyone to resurrect it. There was just not enough developer interest/market share to sustain it.

I still miss having my next appointment on my lock screen. The Pixel gets this mostly right with calendar info on the ambient screen display, but still seems a bit shy about showing it.
Running a Minecraft server is the logical progression to writing Minecraft plugins. At least a few years back, it was fairly easy to monetize Minecraft servers by selling in-game perks and paying YouTubers for advertising. Once you reach a certain player count/level of cashflow, you end up having to hire and evaluate programmers/sysadmins to sustain the business.

This isn't a rare path - just look on sites like SpigotMC and you'll see literally thousands of developers turning to the business side of things. The business skills that your kids would gain from this would be 1000x more valuable than whatever you can teach.

I actually like QGIS more than ArcGIS. It's not without some rough edges, but I found it way easier to use than ArcGIS (which is a bit of a UI disaster, IMO).
I was surprised to learn that it's actually the opposite: Minecraft recently reached a new peak with over 90 million active players.

Tumblr being just for porn is mostly a meme. I have used Tumblr for many years, not for porn, but for art and lifestyle content, and memes. It actually took me a few years to find out that Tumbler had tons of extremly high quality free porn.

Thr hugh amouts of porn give creatives a certain security that their works won‘t be deleted for nudity and such.
Generalization in this context is usually a very specific technical term that means after training on a training set, the fitted model continues to perform well when used on previously unseen examples (a test set) that came from the same distribution (data generating process) that Nature used to produce the training set.

You can define other notions of generalization that try to be more than this, like generalizing to multiple tasks or an algorithm capable of playing any turn-based perfect information game, etc., but that is not usually what people are talking about when they talk about the formal statistics concept of generalization error.
I don't have any statistics, but judging from the number of sites and blogs that have popped up that deal with similar conditions, this seems to be an increasingly common problem. It seems like you could now speak about brain fog and everyone would understand what you meant, and I don't think that was the case 15 years ago.

I've only ever made 2 top-level comments related to this issue on HN and they have surprised me with the amount of attention they generated.

A lot of people are going through desperate times because of conditions like this. It's hard to appreciate how bad it can be just by trying to imagine the symptoms for an instant. It's much harder to imagine what it feels like to experience that for months; years; decades.
Fair enough. That should be added to the official policies so it’s known in advance.

However I do think it’s a major trend that needs to be ridiculed. It’s all across the map. Many of my rightwing and libertarian leaning facebook friends have increasingly become skeptical of the scientific establishment when it comes to climate change, evolution etc. Many of my friends on the left are likewise making these claims about GMOs or anti vaxxers (regardless of political affiliation) often claim that the vaccines are population control and any arguments are paid for by governments. People on both sides of the Israel Palestine issue and so on are claiming that historical facts or context is “just talking points”. And yes, some major proponents of third wave feminism have espoused this as well.

To me these are all aspects of a weird “post modernist” approach to science, and particularly frustrating with climate change deniers (because it affects us all). It is a MINDSET where a rational argument is met with “oh well that’s just the ESTABLISHMENT, you are a XYZ” where XYZ is the opposite political or ideological identity.

Frankly now that I think about it, it is exactly an answer to the parent’s question. I will even quote Encyclopedia.com to show that my comment is “not just kicking at a position” but in fact simply stating it — and you are making a value judgment yourself:

https://www.encyclopedia.com/literature-and-arts/art-and-arc...

de-centered postmodern heterogeneity makes obsolete the Enlightenment ideal of consensus, which all too frequently required the suppression of minority dissent. Postmodernity, with its heterogeneous interests and worldviews, allows previously oppressed or marginalized groups to make claims upon justice, and upon a position of centrality, even in the absence of majority consensus concerning such claims.

Here are other sources too:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3463968/
We’re also a lot better at predicting future outcomes but unfortunately just as bad at changing course.
Ask HN: How do you store application configuration information?
Do you use YAML/JSON/XML files or use software like Vault/Consul for key/value pairs?
Another dad told me the same thing about my middle son 15 years ago. He was guiding his own son to be a psychologist because he felt that off shoring was going to remove all of the IT jobs in the developed world.

As it turns out he was wrong, my son's enjoying a great career as a programmer, his son has left psychology and is doing some kind of creative arts) music/digital career.

I think ultimately no one really knows what the future will hold, but it seems that it can't be a bad thing having a strong familiarity with the modern day building blocks of business, i.e software.

But i totally agree about arming them with business skills as well, so they can step up to whatever the next step is.

“Wholesome” is not a scientific term.

The food landscape is filled with pseudoscience, and whether a compound is synthesized or extracted is more of an economic decision not a scientific one.
>As for email clients, I do keep wondering how Thunderbird can be so slow, how its rendering system can be so shite.

I'm not very well informed but I assume that you just call functions which are implemented by the VM, in the same manner you do filesystem operations in nodejs.

If they had any intention of treating the cause then they would've abandoned the Dragonfly project.

I think what is missed is while millennials have less money, they also have options to get by for less too.

In the past if you could not afford a car you took the taxi (expensive) or the bus (time and route limited), today Uber and Lyft are a lot cheaper than taxis while going where you want.

In the past if you could not afford a house, you rented. Today, while numbers are limited still you have the option of getting a tiny house for a lot less than what a full house cost. And a better place than what the old trailer homes would get you.

In the past if you could not afford full vacations, you went camping and rarely left the country. Today you can get things like Airbnb for a lot less than a resort or hotel.

And of-course internet for movies, music are cheaper ways to get entertainment too.
And things are about to get really crazy. We just discovered a new us reserve with 46 billion barrels.

Doesn't WASM interface with a JS/WASM VM, which is then responsible for interfacing with the OS? There are plenty of POSIX compatible VMs, including V8, the Chrome engine.
My response had nothing to do with US exceptionalism (eg my reference to US policies on gun control was an intentional negative example). It's pointing out that the five eyes don't simply copy each other's choices when it comes to major laws / law changes.

Each nation in question has different protections, or lack thereof, when it comes to privacy, speech, property rights, et al. One size will not fit all, each country would see a different response to the same attempted legislation. The US Government has tried for two decades - with very little success - to reach for something equivalent to what Australia just rushed through in no time at all. What would completely rewrite so much US law and interpretation so rapidly as to make such a drastic change possible in the US anytime soon? Nuclear terrorism, as a society shaking event, is about the only thing that comes to mind as plausible and that's far-fetched.

What is the interface called then?

Sorry for being confused. Isn't Nginx coded for a POSIX system? Or did they specifically port it to WASM (with its own interface)
The national ID prevents identity theft. If someone gets something using a fake ID, it's a problem of the provider, so they have every incentive to check the card and request a signature for every transaction. If someone gets past the first filter, you simply go there with your card and make it their problem, not yours.

I agree that competition of some kind could be welcome, but welcoming the state sponsored propaganda of autocratic, corrupt and repressive states just because their own hegemonic desires conflict with those of the US strikes me as being the most politically facile stance imaginable.

Yes, that's about right. The only thing I'd qualify is that Spiro contains Euler spiral segments but also other things, especially smooth straight-to-curved transitions. This is only about the first, but the others are also important to font design. I wanted to keep it simple though.
Adding my thanks to this. I have IBS and have done a ton of self-experimentation over the years to fix my symptoms (with reasonable success). I totally get what you mean about free will and being unable to think straight when your digestive system is not managed. This is an interesting pathway that I had not discovered yet; from my initial reading it looks like the mycobiome is somewhat at the cutting edge [1].

I miss that for the times of easy money authoring cdrom titles with it. Lingo was an incredibly easy language to learn and satisfying to use. It just had no place in the web era. Adobe just didn’t know what to do with it besides shockwave.

Fireworks (Adobe/Macromedia) was in this category of mixed vector/raster editors. I'd love to see it return, but a 2019 version would have to be somewhat different to survive.

Krita is making serious moves in this direction.
Oh yeah that could be a little more demanding as you’ll be near working the whole time your kids awake. Well after the “I’m going to wake up every couple of hours” phase :D

And I just thought of something that we’ve used a lot to help with sleeping. An amazon echo next to the bed which we use for white noise and some kids music occasionally. It’s handy putting the wee girl to bed and “Alexa play white noise” while you’re lying her down.

And as she’s gotten older there are a bunch of kids skills on there too. We’ve been having fun in the mornings with the animal sounds skill lately. Totally worth the investment
Kind of a tangent, but the way you phrased it, while much more technically correct, is totally roundabout and unnatural to a native English speaker.

I've often postulated that the necessity of a Subject in English sentences causes us to inadvertently project agency in our descriptions of events / phenomena that in reality don't have an "actor" in a meaningful sense.

It's fascinating to consider to what extent this false notion of causation and agency may constrain a native English speaker's understanding of the world.
A quote divorced from context is meaningless. Here's one too:

"A type system is a syntactic method for enforcing levels of abstraction in programs. " [1]

What syntactic methods are used in dynamically "typed" languages?

The point of a technical term is to make distinctions. As I already explained, adding safety has at least two distinct approaches: ensure unsafe programs have no meaning, or ensuring every program has meaning by reifying unsafe expressions as values. These are clearly completely different approaches, and "type" has always meant the former from its inception as a solution to Russell's paradox.

The fact that dynamic typing has some superficial similarities is completely irrelevant. Types can enforce properties that no dynamic "typing" can ever achieve.

I'm not sure if it works like that. Could a country completely go around it just that easily? Seems like it's written extremely badly if this is really the case.
Different parents may have different reasons. I'm gonna be one soon, I will encourage my kid to learn how to code, and here's why:

- I want them to be confident in interacting with technology. To understand that none of this is magic, and that it can be bent to one's will given enough (usually not much) knowledge.

- I want them to learn that they can, and should, automate their tasks on the fly - whatever those tasks are. I want them to know it doesn't require (though can involve) buying ready-made single-purpose solutions, but a little bit of thinking and (sometimes) skills. This conceptual block is what I see in most of non-computer people around me.

- I want them to acquire the ultimate tool in learning and communication: trying to make a machine to do something. There's no better way to realize what you don't know than trying to model it as a computer program.[0][1]

I don't necessarily want them to be a programmer in the future[2]. I want them to find their own career, but I also want them to go through life confident in their ability to truly understand whatever they're curious about, and to shape the increasingly digital world around them.
