Hey, I agree that double blind trials would be great, but I have to point out again that many of the studies others here are citing have huge issues. One linked here was from 1994 and to consider that as proof there is no link completely disregards the increase in consumption of both Red 40 and sugar by close to 30% and it ignores what the author of the article linked here has exposed and that's she's just getting started with her review of that data.

To leap to a "bias" in what I've observed and pointed out is a pretty far leap. I have no profit motive at all. I'm not selling anything here or getting paid to offer a conclusion, and neither were any of the mothers I've discussed this with, and the sample size is at least several times larger than the study I linked to above, and more current.

And I also pointed out another very insightful personal experience with how "Professionals" will ignore those who provide insight that is fact based when it doesn't jive with their archaic teachings.

This thread is a fine example of that. No one seemed to take into account the increased consumption of both sugar and Red 40 when citing those old studies that are being reviewed by the author. It's not unfair to say it is the data they're using is skewed to to their bias.

As far as mother's saying that vaccines triggered autism in their children, I won't leap to deny there's a link. This is not an issue I've looked into much so I don't have an opinion to offer, but my experience is that it's wise to listen to mothers who have experience and those in the health care industry have a very long history of ignoring them when they should have been listening.

All that said, I have very much enjoyed discussing this with you and appreciate you taking the time to share your insights with me. It's rare to see anyone come back to these conversations here.
People are attracted to shiny so companies prioritize making everything shiny as often as possible. The average used had to look for subtle clues to find out whether their machine was windows 95, 98/SE, 2000, ME, or XP with a classic skin.

Now, the average user has to totally relearn every few years how to do less of the things they could do before. There’s an obsession with reinventing the wheel that takes precedence to stability.
The compiler for Xbox one is MSVC which supports modern c++ quite quickly, and the compiler for PS4 is based on Clang which also supports modern c++ very quickly.

Exceptions are supported and we use them for any non-gameplay code paths. That is to say, you can and should use exceptions for all loading/initialisation paths unless they are during actual gameplay.

This ends up feeling quite natural as that is mostly what exceptions are good for, and honestly, they would practically never fire in a non-development scenario because they are almost always some kind of error in data files.
Good points, but:

A cross-platform UI framework could easily fulfill all your requirements, yet doesn't exist.
It's funny because I was just thinking "wow, this is such a great way to do an introduction to the continuum hypothesis". You get the same "introduction" that Cantor did: you walk through his early successes and learning that lead to ask these important questions. I remember wishing math was taught this way more generally (especially in grade school), where these results are often just thrown at you as if they came from the sky, whereas, at least for me, they make so much more sense when you first learn about the failures and why we arrived at these ideas. The only time that really stands out to me where this is done is with integrals and doing rectangles and newton's method first.

Anyways, all this to say, I clicked the link with the original title and was very happy, but I probably would not click the current link since I wouldn't really know what it means or what to expect.
Very true. The designers of modern roads are culpable for many, many deaths. People were outraged much as we are by school shootings when drivers first started killing people. http://thedollop.libsyn.com/193-when-the-cars-came
Yes, that was a mistake. Replace "owned" with "partially controlled".
This problem comes up in contractarian ethics: our laws are justified by a social contract between individuals and the state, but none of us actually signed the contract execept (liberally interpreted) for immigrants. Why should we accept being bound by these laws? Similarly to how an individual has no choice of being born into a society, a child has no choice of being born into a family.

One common response to the problem in contractarian ethics is that we implicitly sign the social contract by accepting it's benefits. We benefit from not living amidst anarchic chaos, and we benefit from the services provided by the state (roads, schools, etc.)

That might be an unsatisfying response (we wouldn't accept that kind of reasoning in tort law) but we're going to need to have some kind of response or else we'll just be left with anarchy and everyone will be worse off.

You can sheild your child from the fact that bring alive entails responsibilities outside yourself, but you'll inevitably be creating a leaky abstraction because reality just doesn't work that way.
> And therefore CO2 shouldn’t be a concern?

And therefore CO2 is not topping the list of worse waste created by man over radioactive waste, as you claimed previously...

Is not logical to keep denying that radioactivity is a very, very dangerous stuff at this point. After the Hiroshima, Chernobyl and Fukushima experiences we should expect to start talking seriously about it, instead to deny the problem again and again.
Maybe the police should consider dropping confetti on rioters? Maybe implement in clubs and bars? The solution to world peace: confetti. Who knew. :P

> More than 100 sanitation workers begin their eight-hour shifts. Using street sweepers, backpack blowers, and push brooms, they will remove the 57 tons of material that’s left behind

This is actually disgusting. I think the idea that dropping confetti prevents violence, or that it was responsible for the drop in violence the article attributes to it, seems silly. It sounds like they are just trying to justify the massive expense and waste associated with this reckless behavior.

Of course the owner of the company who gets paid mad money to dump trash on the public is going to tout his works as transformative and important. Does his company also pay for the 100 sanitation workers to clean up his mess? Or do the people foot the bill for both the dumping of the trash and the cleanup?
It's not an article that lends itself well to bike shedding, so most HNers have little to comment.

If you have ever thought about waiting in Times Square for midnight I highly recommend against it. It is hard to see from the TV PoV but you are all in small, square roped off areas in the middle of the street. You can't leave for the entire night and you need to get there by around 5pm to even be close to the festivities. We left at around 7pm and got our hotel concierge to find us a nice place to eat. Far preferable. You can kind of see how controlled it is in this photo:

I totally agree with your first paragraph. If you or anyone can suggest an accurate, neutral title that has this property, we'd happily change it again. "Introduction to the Continuum Hypothesis" isn't quite accurate.
Do you not feel "more awake" with the ability to focus better, etc.? I find that as long as I'm focused on a task the effects of caffeine are negligible; it helps me stay focused. As soon as I go interacting with people, the effects become really visible and a hindrance. My mind is a bit too fast and fragmented for these slow and broad interactions.

Yes. Especially for windows or the Core Graphics gtk port.
That's very bold, considering the popularity of JavaScript, an esoteric, joke of a language in earlier times (no offence).

Bottom line, Its very safe to say that dart is a much better language than JS.

The language of choice has never ever, really mattered in software history.

And don't forget that the big G is behind this thing, which is well equipped to push it forward without the need of it being as popular as js.

> • If a dependency has another dependency that's given access to `fs`, for example, but the top-level dependency doesn't have this access -- can the top level dependency use `fs` through its dependency?

I'm very interested to know the answer to this too. In addition, I'd also like to know, if a dependency A, which itself depends on B which requires permission 'os' (not required by A), does this requirement roll up to A?

Also, does giving A certain permissions automatically give them to all the dependencies of A?

I actually considered building something similar, but then I knew, I'd never be able to manually keep track of permissions every time I'm adding or removing a dependency. Ideally this would be integrated with package managers, or maybe Node itself. Something like a 'permissions' field in package.json, which is read by the installer, and while installing the user gets prompted. The permissions given by the user then get saved in a lockfile, which gets committed for promptless installs in future.

Edit: Looking through the code it does look like permissions given to a module roll-down to it's child dependencies. This is a terrible idea, as it will fail your security test for any non trivial node module.

Example: Say I have a module which allows me to easily make https requests. By it's very nature it requires access to https. But it has a dependency which is used to parse the post-body data. This should have no access to network or fs. But because the parent has access to network, this dependency will too. Now, if this dependency gets subverted, it will use the parent's permission to do it's malicious tasks. I'm opening an issue on the Github project page so we can continue this discussion.
When I was 13 (around the year 2000), my parents forced me to do yard work/chores for our neighbor who paid me $2/hour.

I'm so glad most industry groups and politicians have agreed there's no global warming. This is obviously just a fluke year.
The author's point is that he wants to live with efficient algorithms, efficient languages and tooling.

It is not an either/or proposition - we can have all the things, or at least something significantly better than the current state of affairs.
Wow, that guy is really something. Turn dumping trash in public into profit, get others to volunteer to do the work, charging the people the entire time, for both the dispersal and the cleanup, all the while claiming his trash dumping is a powerful deterrent to crime. Master scammer.
Actually, you've just outlined one of the good arguments against social contract theory.
The title makes it look as if the pushing out is due to age discrimination, but it isn’t. The discrimination is in the rehiring.

You have to read about halfway down to learn that:

“Older workers don’t lose their jobs any more frequently than younger ones,” said Princeton labor economist Henry Farber, “but when they do, they’re substantially less likely to be re-employed.”
> Green solder mask is physically superior

Possibly chemically. Practically? EVERY other solder mask color is better.

I find that because green is the default, cheap, PCB soldermask, manufacturers thin it to hell and back in order to save money. As such, I regularly get coverage gaps over vias underneath QFN components which then short to the pad underneath the chip. (Manufacturing tip: if you can, only put vias underneath the chip that are tied to the same signal as the QFN thermal pad and your reliability will be much better.)

If I want good soldermask coverage, I always order an alternate color (with the requisite expense) and almost always get great results.
I've driven from AK to Argentina (2 years) and around Africa (2.5 years and counting). Lived in the Yukon and went to Alaska all the time. I've snowboarded multiple 100+ day seasons, been a kayak guide, hiking guide, snowboard instructor and now I'm a freelance travel writer and photographer.

I've never owned a TV or a new car, never lived alone (always in a share house) and I've never bought a phone, I just get old, old ones off friends.

It's working great for me.
Wont the risk for officer rebellion increase with decreased size of the chore?

Even so, it's probably more likely that some murder bot engineers rebell against the ruler than thousands of soldiers and officers who have a harder time organizing than a smaller group.

Obviously, this apply for 'evil' rebells vs 'good' governments too.

I would not like to have a single point of failure murder bot army as garrisons.

The flutter team has announced that it is now working on desktop and web ports of flutter.

What's interesting is that you can literally run the same app on all platforms, because flutter draws the whole ui in dart code, using the canvas. And well, dart can run basically anywhere now...

Biodegradable on what time frame? Isn't everything biodegradable given enough time? Is there an official definition on what time frame of biodegradability allows something to be legally declared 'biodegradable'? (Looking into this now, fascinating!)

If there's no reasonable legal definition of biodegradable, then isn't that label useless?
Yes, you are correct.

I think Flutter means native in the sense that it runs at native speed, perhaps even faster in some carefully selected apps

As for a look and feel thing, Flutter widgets feel alright to me..
There aren't enough devs who know how to write/research decentralized apps for them to hire. If you know of them, they will hire those people gladly

Descent had that very early 3D where everything is made out of like 8 gourmand shaded polygons and a lot is left up to the imagination. Doom's pixel art just plain looked better even though it was less technically accomplished. Quake 1 suffered from the same problem, it just didn't look as good as the previous generation. Worse, drawing those polygons was a lot to ask of the computers of that era so they generally limited themselves to a small number of enemies at once, you never got swarmed the way you did in Doom sometimes.

Also, I personally found myself getting lost and turned around way more often in Descent than I did in Doom. That last part of the mission where you had to fly back to the exit before the reactor exploded was always the hardest part.
Summary: invest in assets (retains value and produces a return) rather than liabilities (loses value, even if just due to inflation).

Investing into a savings/checking account, for example, is a liability, as interest doesn't usually offset inflation. A fund that produces a 4% YoY return, on the other hand, is an asset. A house can be a liability if appreciation doesn't offset maintenance, mortgage interest, property taxes and insurance, and any gain that could've been had on the 20% down payment.

That's true, but someone less conservative would see the cycle and want to throw in on the next iteration. The HNer sees the iterations go by and mostly calls BS, but then profits tangentially by getting high salary jobs fueled by the cycle. I would also say the HNer has a bit of a doomsday/apocalyptic tendency, entertaining the idea that the next bust is "the end." E.g., crypto is dead.
> The Latin Root is what connects many European languages.

Not in this case. Proto-Germanic before the Norse languages split off would be the root that connects English, Dutch, and German with Norwegian.
Confusion and getting lost in a 3d maze was part of the game.

In some ways it reminds me of Slime World - mapping the world in your head becomes an important feature.

This does not seem to be the case with newer games, as if most players didn't like "finding their way back" to a place they have visited before, and prefer a linear progression instead.
Would it be out of place to assume you haven't experimented much with barefoot running? What you say is intuitive, but in my personal experience incorrect. It took about 6 months for my body to adjust, but now running barefoot is far superior (or with minimalist shoes like the VFFs)
> Boredom kills productivity

You know that graph[1] with performance on the Y-axis and "arousal level" from bored -> eustress -> overwhelmed on the X-axis? I think that mental model is key to understanding why TDD tutorials start out with really dead-simple examples.

One primary cognitive demand when programming is holding many ideas in your head at once, many of which you're only really dealing with for the first time this week. In your day-to-day work, you move from subproject to subproject and have to quickly learn new parts of a codebase. As you are doing this though, you are also holding in your head some ideas which stay there: how the standard library is shaped, what the overall architecture of the project is, who on your team to ask for clarity, and how to use your testing framework. The fact that you already are familiar with these things means that they are "chunked" in the same way that the area code of a phone number is. That means it imposes a lower cognitive cost to hold them in your head.

But what if you are currently learning both the idea of TDD and the specific interface of a particular testing library? Then neither will be chunked and you're going to need to devote a lot more brainspace to remembering that recently-learned knowledge. If you are writing complex tests while you do that, you are a lot more likely to be overwhelmed and perhaps give up on TDD. TDD tutorials are written for an audience for whom how to write a basic test is not well-chunked enough to be boring.

Interesting to see how well most of these have stood the test of time or have even become more forceful because of it (17 for instance).

HN is right-biased and quite nationalist.I'm always amused to realize that some people actually believe that Facebook's "moderation efforts" are a good think, while WeChat's or VK's are not.

I mean, I get why an exec or a politician would have to say this in public, but come on, who actually buys this? Facebook is no less of a propaganda tool for an authoritarian elite than it's Chinese or Russian counterparts. And even if you're a nationalist American, don't forget that Facebook isn't really protecting your own interests.
I had this experience as well about ten years ago, arriving in NYC on my own a few days before new year for an internship— the idea of being sealed in there for such a long period was kind of terrifying so I ended up going elsewhere.
> Those who might suggest that Qt covers that role have to explain why, even though it has been capable of fast, attractive apps for a long time, nobody built Slack, Discord, Atom or VSCode in it.

Because those are companies dominated by webdevs that can't be bothered to learn anything else.

Even VSCode is probably a side effect of Microsoft trying to be cool and cattering to the new generations that don't know anything else.

For me, it just made me buy a Sublime Text license instead.

Again, if someone wants a car under 20k they are likely looking at a used car. We don’t have a lot of used electric cars yet, but that’s just a matter of time.

PS: The fuel savings is massive which will push up resale prices and directly save their original owner money. Saving 20+k over 15+ years and several owners is not the same as a lower sticker price, but it’s far from meaningless.
Because RIPE's last /8 is gone, any remaining addresses will come from whatever has been recovered. Under no circumstances should you expect to receive a contiguous /22 through LIR registration. Still, for obtaining routable /24s, the LIR route will likely remain viable for the next year or so.
