I tend to think that almost every time someone is doing something you don't understand or don't like, you're better off understanding the reason for the behaviour than trying to quash it. Even if you desperately want it to stop, they're clearly doing the thing as a means to address something so if you want to stop them using the current solution you should have a better solution to hand or the problem will once again be unaddressed and the behaviour will resume. You can't offer an alternative unless you know the cause in the first place. This approach makes sense for children (presumably above a certain age) and adults alike.
That's not what it means.
My parents bought us one for Christmas and I politely refused. There's no way I'm letting those into my house without a huge benefit...
Apple doesn’t let you set a black background?
Actually it’s enough to know that you’re beyond all appendages. Ie one plus all fingers+toes.
I took the article as more metaphorical than immediately practical. Not every behavior has an easily-googleable answer.
Right, your job is to help the child grow and learn. Whether it looks - to other parents, teachers, etc. - like you are a good parent is very much beside the point, and usually a conflicting goal you need to detach yourself from. In fact, paying attention to that is narcissism. See Preacher's kid syndrome. Similarly, whether their behavior is impeccable today isn't the point, whether they're learning skills for tomorrow is the point.
Alexa is new type of interface, just doing better AI/voice recognition is not enough. Amazon never were good at User Interfaces. Google is getting better at it I think, has more designers and UX.
or ask the kid why they're licking their hands as the first step, then when they say their hands are dry solve that problem. If this doesn't cause the dry hands to peter out as the vicious cycle is interrupted, then see a doctor about your kid's excessively dry hands.
Is it really a 'dilemma' though? Basically, a project can set the version numbers how they want. They don't need to justify the change. So long as they and others can refer to each release by a simple and easily identifiable number or moniker, it really makes no difference if it's 5.0 or 4.22. In the end, the Linux kernel is such a big project that there's really no reason to single out any single or a set of changes as significant enough to warrant a version number bump; it's all arbitrary to start with.
I wonder if Kierkegaard being Danish is at all related to Danes being the happiest people in the world.
I'm currently coding R and SQL in healthcare, would love to code in energy as well at some point. Healthcare is an extremely tricky area, our data is MASSIVE and very very rich, many hundreds of variables to access taken over many years of time. It's very challenging though: old tech stack, slow bureaucracy, tons of paperwork, usually not on the "cutting edge" due to the myriad security/privacy concerns, people still using SAS up the wazoo. Contrast that to energy: much less issue of security/privacy, however much fewer jobs, arguably less complexity and less legacy practices, and less "humanity" at the core. Energy does have the benefit of saving the planet, without which all of our health would go to Mad Max situations...so, both are very very important, good luck choosing :)

I got into it via biological sciences, then epidemiology, then straight epidemiological data analysis, with a flavor of public policy and program implementation/effectiveness analysis. I was originally pre-med, but coding is IMO a lower stress, lower debt-ridden, and still remunerative field which gives higher rein to analytical talent than medicine, which to me is more about people skills and healing than raw analysis/technicalities.
Because 4.22 would unfairly wear down the 2 key.
I advise all relatives + family to never buy a generation back: you're one year closer to being out of support (either de jure or de facto because of speed) for the os, security updates, etc.
Correction, it keeps a rolling loop going so that when the CPU hears the wake word it has enough audio buffered for voice recognition to have a clean starting point.

If it only started recording when the wake word was processed as being heard there would be an added delay before you could start speaking a command. Might as well push a button and wait for a beep for that added delay.
It's certainly better than most TTS out there. We are developing AI in-house to make it as humanly sound as possible. There's always improvement need to be made, but we're getting there :)
Your latter suggestion is definitely worth something to look at. Let me know once you've tested it out. We highly appreciate any feedback. Cheers!
> If violence worked as a strategy, then it would work better the more of it was applied.

I am generally opposed to violence, but...that really doesn't make sense. It's not generally true that, if <foo> fixes something, 10*<foo> fixes it 10 times better.
This is loads of fun against batteries included web frameworks like rail, grails, play framework and so on. Not sure about now, but a few years ago basically all of them were susceptible to this and XXE and it was extremely difficult to disable in the XML parsers.

Why I'm in Love with .Net Core
This is 100% false.

Network traffic seems a bit frequent with a set of packets every 5 minutes or so, but they are very small.

It is def not using 114Mbps all the time. So we are clear, that is 1.2 terabytes PER DAY.

"With that huge data it is sending back to Alexa, I imagine they may have a huge team of scientist to work on it."

OK, there are 100 million or so Alexa devices supposedly sending 1.2 terabytes per day. Where does this stuff come from (seriously).

Folks, most home routers you can actually monitor packet usage by device / port. If interested please do, the results DO NOT match the posters comments.
I am pretty sure he can say it did work with more certainty than you can say it didn't. It's a personal anecdote that he is intimately familiar with.
On the internet, you shout at TV, TV shouts back. ;)

It's all good. My sons are adults and basically adore me. I hear probably daily "You're an awesome mom and I'm so glad you raised me!" even though the oldest is so Aspie, he will not and has never told me he loves me. Feelings: Not his cup of tea.
To me, the point of the essay was the opposite of what you just said, instead: listen to and trust your child.
Famine -> law and order breakdown -> mass migrations -> wars and military conflicts -> population reductions.

Hmmm. I have read this in human history before.
This is astonishingly illogical.

> If violence worked as a strategy, then it would work better the more of it was applied.

This does not follow at all. This whole argument is total bullshit. It may end up being the right answer for parenting (don't use violence against your kids) but the reasoning is astonishing. Every single one of the statements is false and only the conclusion is true. What a masterpiece!
I upgraded to the Xr from the 7 as well, I skipped the initial release of the X last year. I was happy to pay a bit more to get a better camera and the FaceID is 100 times better and faster than TouchID.
Why is Apple diluting their brand? What happened to the simple product line? iPhone X this and iPhone X that is simply bad marketing. Are there product driven people in Apple anymore?
We already apply this technique to medical issues. Currently if we Google around we will find the answer if the symptom is common enough. A "WebMD" for a range children's behavior seems to be what OP is getting yet. Not such a bad idea. However, I agree that labelling them and treating them as a "disease" is going overboard.
They do, but that's only useful in the home screen.
Interesting, never heard of it - checking it out, thanks!
We are big on Montessori at my house. The philosophy there is basically what you said: kids are adults in the making and parents are just their guides. Ego leads people to think they own their kids and such, but we are just stewards of our kids for small but key part of their life. Many parents struggle with this idea that kids are their own agents and you are just there to help them grow. It seems obvious, but when you really embrace this philosophy it seems to have a huge impact for most people.
Why not WordPress? You can use their host, or self-host.
The single most helpful thing I discovered for learning android opengl es graphics programming is that it does have error messages, after all! [abbrev code, use to lookup docs]

int error;
while((error=GLES20.glGetError())!=GLES20.GL_NO_ERROR) {
msg += android.opengl.GLU.gluErrorString(error);
}

Also, the offical android opengl es 2.0 tutorial is wrong in subtle ways (after the non-subtle wrongnesses were corrected).

TIL "advice" can be countable: https://blog.oxforddictionaries.com/2014/05/30/advise-advice...

> Advice is mainly used with the first meaning, and in this meaning it is a mass noun (that is, it has no plural). The business/legal meaning, however, is a count noun: it has a plural form, advices.

+1 to Typora, it shows you the folder contents which is great.
Just for completeness sake, here's the complete list of pulled attendees mentioned in the article:

* Ajit Pai, FCC Commissioner

* Brendan Carr, FCC Commissioner

* Rebecca Slaughter, FTC Commissioner

* Unspecified others from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA); Department of Homeland Security (DHS); the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA); and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Still speaking: Elaine Chao, Secretary of Transportation

FEMA is under DHS and EPA is under DOI so those make some sense. HHS did get an appropriations bill, but that only covered 60% of the Department. The other chunk of HHS is funded by the Agriculture and Interior appropriations. Certain activities of the FDA can be funded by user fees, but it doesn't seem like most of the FDA can be funded that way.[1]

Just yesterday I was reading a list of logical fallacies, and between this comment and your previous one I think you've hit at least 3 or 4 of them.
Look, I know how to make my own candles from tallow (including how to bring down the beast to get the fat). Does that mean using electric lights is lazy?

Of course not.

I have my hands full cooking. Is asking "Alexa, set a potato timer for 12 minutes" any lazier than stopping my stirring the sauce, wiping my hands, picking up the timer and punching buttons on it to set a timer? I can keep going about my tasks and have the Alexa device help. Likewise, "Alexa, turn on dinner table" or "Alexa, announce 'Everybody get down here, dinner is ready'" These are little conveniences that keep a busy process going smoothly.

Could I live without them, sure. But I could live without electric lights and plumbing too. But why would I when they exist and are available at a reasonable expense?

Luddites, the lot of you.
My problem with Face ID is how close I have to be to it to work — when sitting in its cradle on the dashboard, I can't face-unlock.
The early 90's is right. They had that great GUI and plug-n-play to themselves for years, but still managed to almost go under.
Props for your simple working solution. Plain text storage is the best!

Same. Refusing to upgrade my SE because it's the perfect size. I had a coworker ask, "What is that thing?" which is humorous to say the least.
This reminds me of something that happened with our child.
She started pulling her hair out at night as she fell asleep. Large clumps were pulled out over a month or two and every night there would be small amounts of hair removed. There was a lot of pressure to go to a psychologist from her GP and medication was suggested too. We were talking about it a lot and her hair was getting thin.
One night we gave her a new stuff toy, and suggested to her that if she needed to pull hair or was thinking about it, put the dolls hair.
It was a toy penguin. Plucking penguin has many bald patches now and the hair pulling stopped that night.
I think there are 2 points I would use to respond to that. 1) it’s really, really hard to accumulate a large stockpile of money without exploiting the labor of other people and 2) no political system is immune to a 50% + 1 attack. By “citizens militia” I meant just ordinary people who own weapons so yeah if somebody comes along who is so charismatic that they can convince 50% + 1 people to follow them, it’s game over.
> why doesn't the government offer a free service where you can host a text website

It's debatable whether this is the sort of thing governments exist to do.
I just double checked and I think the link I posted is to the book -- I thought it was just one of the papers but that PDF is the actual 160 page book that was his thesis.

Unless I'm misunderstanding, and book != thesis.

[EDIT] - Looking through the Amazon listing, it looks the book is certainly not just a republish of the thesis... Looks like I have even more reading to do

I think there was at least a Google+ poll.
Real is still around. They occupy a floor or two of a small office building near the stadium in Seattle. From what I understand, they are essentially patent trolls now.
+1 for Notion. It's added so much structure and value to my life.
Hitting children is also illegal in New Zealand.

Something to consider - is hitting the child caring for them or venting frustration?
For each % of tax raised on the rich, what % do you actually collect? The rich are the ones who have money to avoid tax laws. They could just move. Or just move their money.
I'm glad someone else found my paper interesting enough to post here. I'd love to get your thoughts on the idea.
Good question. I like making products people enjoy using and that’s how I make the living. If that model won’t pan out, don’t see why not open source :)
"There are tons more studies on this."

Are these studie done by people in the field of psychology, the field famous for its issues with reproducible study results? Just askin'.
I think this article, and the comments here, are a splendid example of how deep (and often confusing) 3D graphics can be.

One of the things I appreciated about the Glide3D API for the old VooDoo cards back in the day was how basic it was relative to the work of getting the 3D stuff on the screen.

There are several ways in which you can "learn" 3D graphics; You can get it by theory, you can get it by API, and you can get it by modelling.

If you're someone who is a theory person you should start at the beginning and learn linear algebra and vector arithmetic. You can learn about projections, and camera "views" and project your 3D scene onto a 2D surface whether it is a computer screen or a plotter page. Once you get there you can then do hidden line, and then hidden surface removal. You can learn about the 'Z' plane and the clipping frustrum which lets you not worry about things that won't appear in your projection. With a relatively simple array of coordinates type data structure you can project triangles or NURBs onto your surface and draw pretty pictures. Then you can start learning about light and all the many ways it interacts with materials. At the end of this journey you can take a 3D model and render it in a photorealistic way, one frame at a time.

The second way to learn 3D programming is the API path. Here you don't really learn too much of the math, although having that background will help you understand what the functions are doing. You learn an API like Unity or Vulkan. These APIs have taken a lot the basic 3D programming and done it for you, you need to learn how to write shaders which decorate your surfaces in ways that simulate light or water or fog Etc. Generally you construct a scene with calls to set up the frame, and then call 'render' with the appropriate screen resource referenced. Blam! instant 3D scene.

The third way you might come at this is modelling things, building models in Maya or some other modelling tool that are built with skeletons, which is simply a data structure that identifies how different parts of the model can move in relation to other parts. You probably don't have to know anything about 3D math, but you have to have a good eye for construction of the models and the area in which those models are placed.

There are so many ways to go at this particular quest, each have their own challenges and rewards.
That's not an argument that it won't work fwiw.
> Everyone I know

In the grand scheme of things, and in the overall market, everyone you know still comes out to a rounding error. Don't get too caught up in anecdata.

> I really feel like the XR is a repeat of the original iPhone 7 in that it's a phone with no target audience

You're right, there. If people want a high-end iPhone, they'd get the XS. If they want a cheaper phone in the X form factor, they'd get an X. If they don't want the X form factor yet, they'd get an 8. The XR is just… there.

And yet, it's a great phone by itself. Same processor as the XS, meaning a great performance leap over the X, not to mention a vastly improved camera. But it's hard to think of it as premium when it's lacking the OLED screen and Force Touch. It feels so incomplete, like an XS wannabe than its own thing.
Probably because CLojure feels the closest to Common Lisp, so it's the best comparison.
Choose curiosity and patience over judgement and commands. Such a simple message, and yet in practice it's so easy to fall for the (illusion of?) control, thinking "there's no time for curiosity or patience here."
Awesome. Thanks a lot.
This is easily debunked by the fact that similar attacks happened to US personelle in China.

Having read about the history of the CIA, planted stories like this are not actually conspiracy theories. This has the feel of a very real coverup. It seems so obvious.

Here is the story about China personelle suffering the same attacks: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jun/07/sonic-attack-f....

Are you telling me attack crickets are invading multiple countries now? Quite the BS story. Super suspicious.
This is a good reply and I particularly like the point you make in your fourth paragraph. I note that 40acres made the ideological statement "All politics is identity politics" in their first reply to you. There is a good essay [1] that explicitly rejects this statement and which makes a similar point to yours:

> In practice, contemporary identity politics does little to challenge the roots of oppression. What it does do is empower certain people within those putative identities to police the borders of ‘their’ communities or peoples by establishing themselves as gatekeepers. It has allowed self-nominated authentic voices or community leaders to consolidate and protect their power. As solidarity has become redefined in terms of ethnicity or culture, so those who demand to be the voices of those ethnicities or cultures are afforded new privileges.

The XR and XS offering confused me for a long time. Even right now I still don't fully understand the difference.

It is surprising that XR didn't do as well as XS relatively speaking. Then again I feel a lot of people who are extremely loyal to Apple wouldn't hesitate to get the most expensive offering anyways.
Demands to your phone number/identity, and access to all your metadata.

But hey, "Security and privacy"!
> Not about this being the most significant factor.

It absolutely is suggested, if not implicitly then by omission.

> They also had influence over this particular issue, unlike the macroeconomics of China.

Right, but the more it's discussed, the more it feels like people don't want to talk about the slowing economy in China.
Cool! Lots of little radio telescopes, except tuned for audio. I wonder how the triangulation was done: Were the relative sound intensities fed into a computer, to work out the approximate position of the incoming zeppelin?
I'm generally the same. Basically, everything is filler until Doctor Who comes out. I've been enjoying some original comedies like Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Good News, and some others; but a lot of the rest of the "originals" I like are really just coproductions of continuations of shows that existed on other networks, like Rita and Midnight Diner.
I think China definitely did it and now the US is covering it up because they have made an under the table agreement to “stop doing that.” This is an exceptionally clumsy attempt at covering it up.
It seems pretty solid but I'm skeptical that you could ever get regular ppl to be able to use and understand a crypto-system like this.
Google had all of the pieces before Alexa even existed. The Google Assistant was basically a bunch of existing Search tech duct taped together at the start.

Some of this investment is negated by the amazing progress in neural nets since Google was founded, and diffusion of Search knowledge, but not all of it.
Very glad to hear it!
Life is not meant to be controlled based on your understanding of world because as human being we all suffer from subjectivity and fallacies. Learn to silence your brain and feel the life around you and in yourself. Listen to it and your role in this world would become apparent.
No problem. A good exercise I used to do was writing inheritence patterns first with pre-ES6 syntax, then constructors, then classes. They are, of course, interchangeable but it’s not wise to rehearse an anti-pattern.

EDIT: I said assign method earlier, I meant create. The assign method is the pre-ES6 way of creating object instances. Object.create() is used to inherit prototypes. That’s such a common mix-up that I’m embarrassed I didn’t catch it.
So if I'm using AWS certificate thingy I'm doing it wrong? Should I feel dumb, too? How dumb should I let myself feel before changing it to what the blog post says?
Medicalising things doesn’t always have the desired outcome. I’m guessing that medication and therapists would have been the result.

The google hits (in a quick skim) are all ADD and autism type stories although adding ‘dry’ gets this HN thread, so that’s good.
Behold SpaceX's First Crew Dragon Spaceship Is on the Launchpad
Can wood buildings provide good sound isolation between floors?

I've lived on the 3rd floor of a wood framed 4 story apartment building, and won't repeat that experience if I can help it -- we could hear the couple upstairs very clearly, footsteps, their dog jumping off the couch and barking out the window, late-night sex, all were easy to hear.

In contrast, I lived on the 5th floor of a 9 story concrete and steel high rise, and couldn't hear anything. I even had the upstairs neighbors ask me if I could hear their new treadmill, and I could not.

I assume that the sheer mass of the concrete floors made it so quiet -- Can a wood framed building be constructed with that same level of isolation?
