The problem with boilerplate is not the typing of it (that can be automated), but the reading of it (that can't really be automated until programmers are replaced with AI). It hides semantically useful code in mountains of noise.

I agree with you about the usefulness of a language that helps in thinking about a problem, but I feel like boilerplate is a kind of tech debt we tend to underrate.
Where is the Times getting these quotes in their article? I can't find nearly any of them in the actual APA Guidelines document :

“traditional masculinity — marked by stoicism, competitiveness, dominance and aggression — is, on the whole, harmful.” - This sentence is is not in the guidelines.

"conform to traditional stereotypes about men’s emotionality" is not in the document, however :"in part because internalizing disorders do not conform to traditional gender role stereotypes about men’s emotionality." is in the document. Though not a large misquote, it is still a misquote.

“Traditional masculinity ideology has been shown to limit males’ psychological development, constrain their behavior, result in gender role strain and gender role conflict and negatively influence mental health and physical health,” is just straight up not in the document.

"despite social forces that can harm mental health" is also not in the document.

I've no idea where the author, Jessica Schladebeck, is getting her quotes, but the linked document that is in the article doe not have them. What am I missing here? I've not parsed it in detail yet, so my apologies, but it seems that a few of these quotes are just made up out of whole cloth.

Exactly, news outlets are at its core propaganda tools, and regular people simply do not have the ability to verify their reporting.

That being said, mainstream media do tend to care about their reputation, same reason the best liars tend to be careful about what/when to lie.
What fascinates me about stuff like this is how troubling our own inner thoughts can be when we're left alone with them. In this case Alati talked about the importance of controlling his thoughts and preventing himself from spiraling into negativity. It's amazing how our own thoughts can take a toll on us and drive us insane when we're left alone with them with nothing to distract us. It makes me wonder how much they affect us in our day to day interactions.

It almost seems like a sign that something is wrong on a species wide scale when we need to constantly distract ourselves from our own thoughts to prevent being driven mad.
Agreed - what I like about these is that they give a scope - you can hear a term, check it here and say "oh, I'm way not ready for this" or "oh, it's in this scope that I already understand, I can go look it up without frying my brain".
Author claims it isn’t social media, then proceeds to describe the use of what is effectively social media applications where students communicate with their school and teachers. The apps are noted as a problem due to their notifications and because it’s more difficult to leave school at school since the app is on their phone. Curiously, this is similar to what Jonathan Haidt points out as one of the big negatives of social media.
It wasn't stated there is no effect, just that social class has a larger impact at the highest rungs of society.
> A company could drop a camera and a small NAS box, and have it all work over the local WiFi.

If you setup a company to do this, you will quickly find you are a customer service and call center company, NOT a security tech company.
It does if you're also in exile from your birthplace due to it having become an authoritarian state.
Holy cow. Online search and big social media sound like a complete dystopia at this point. What's next?
Excellent summary, but can you somehow put the word 'parents' in it ? Because they play a significant part in all this as well.

> It's our strong ambition to make Fluidkeys into an honest, you're-the-customer business

Without sugar-coating it - a service like this, with the scope it has now, has * zero * chance of successful monetization. 100% guaranteed.

This is a cosmetic service that aims to address a security need. People who actually need this AND have money to pay for it are in position to explore self-hosted options, which is what they will be looking for in the first place since they DO want proper security. Having a random third party in their security pipeline is not really an option. And people who are not concerned with this part, won't think twice about sending API keys over regular email. In fact, even security-minded people won't have much objection to relaying secrets through their corporate, properly secured email server.

Then, there's an option of productized (self-hosted) version. This is not likely to work either, because the whole thing looks rather trivial and, put bluntly, not worth paying for. Like you aren't likely to pay for hugs, no matter how good they are. Same here - nice to have, but only if free.

All that said, the website is nicely designed and the whole thing is well-presented. It certainly has a potential to be a good demo/promo piece for something larger.
I think this is the right answer - more specifically, a program may not have write access to the filesystem (e.g., with the systemd "ProtectSystem" option). Linux lets you spawn a process to handle a core dump, but I believe the process runs as if it were a child process of the crashing one, i.e., in the same namespace and with the same filesystem permissions.

It isn't just the business owner who benefits, the cashiers too. In South Africa most of the cashiers are women with children. I like the convenience of getting my bread at 8pm but would rather these cashiers where home with their children. Certain parts of the country are not so safe when traveling at night. These tend to be the areas cashiers can afford to live in. So its a double whammy for them.

Look it is a balance that needs to be struck. I appreciate the challenges in South Africa and different to the rest of the world. There is a price for everything, I question the price we pay as a society to have all these shops open late?
honestly i think kids are better at coping with social media than most adults, they are able to put it into perspective most of the time regardless of how afraid we are they are not.
This seems to resonate with me. My little sister who is graduated highschool in 2014 had a very different experience than I did graduating in 2004.

I'd stay up late finishing homework in highschool but usually it'd be a rare occurrence caused by my own procrastination.

She'd routinely stay up past my parents because she just genuinely had 6-10 hrs of homework a night.
Looking at Apache logs while debugging I was pretty disappointed to discover that Brave leaks artifacts like specific phone model in the useragent string.
This is supposed to be a phone Richard Stallman can use. A phone that doesn't betray your freedom is more valuable than a phone with a PDF viewer, at least according to some people.

At the same time, the whole point of free software is that you can hack on your own computer. If you need some missing feature, you can just port it over from Gnome. That can be either exciting or annoying, depending on whether you have a hacker mindset or a consumer mindset. They are banking on enough people having a hacker mindset.

> > A DVR and a set of "old school" network cameras in an internal network have none of those problems

> Ring is a $300 purchase and takes an hour to install. This would take me a few weekends and would cost thousands of dollars. Cloud centralization makes things easier and cheaper, by orders of magnitude.

I have a number of "old school" network cameras and an on-site DVR, it doesn't take "a few weekends" to set everything up.

Adding a camera is simply a matter of following the instructions to connect it to the network. This would be the same process for a Ring or an "old school" camera. Adding a camera to Blue Iris is a 5-15 minute job, depending on how much tweaking you want to do to the motion detection settings.

In terms of implementing from scratch, I picked up a refurbished Windows 10 Pro machine, set up and updated Windows, installed Blue Iris, and added my cameras, in an evening.

Cost-wise, my setup is more expensive than a single Ring camera. However, my incremental costs are a lot cheaper since I can buy sub-$100 cameras instead of $300 ones. There's also no monthly fee, which is nice.
This is dubious. If you polled kids with actual anxiety issues, depression or suicide notes I would be absolutely stunned if they quote Test Reminders or Grades and not online bullying and social media as the source of their problems.

I don't think the author is being inconsistent; rather, you've gotten the exact point the article was trying to make. One assumes the problem is social media, but the deeper problem is that the engagement tactics of social-media apps are more widespread than adults might realize.

I'm not sure why anyone's surprised, either. Getting a reply to a critical work email is a little like getting a report-card grade, and it can arrive at any time of day.
Really ageism is an area of accepted double standards - denying Alzheimer's patients the right to vote is considered absurd yet even college graduate minors cannot vote despite being proven more capable than average. Or rare absurdities like a minor charged as an adult who managed to get acquitted in spite of the situation's seriousness isn't allowed to vote because of lacking the capacity.

Holding the elders to the same rationale is fair if not just - the situation isn't just for anyone affected but they aren't getting special treatment. To give an absurd example executing people for jaywalking is unjust but doing it to all regardless of station is fair.

I believe in keeping voting sancrosanct mind you but I can see a rhetorical and logical point to it.

It has really upset me to see my father, an accomplished businessman, constantly share with me videos/news and ask questions based on information that is obviously false.

My hypothesis: people are either consciously or unconsciously afraid that most jobs will disappear in the near to medium future. This is manifesting itself in many ways (nationalism, etc.). Adults feel it, children feel it. Our leaders are doing their best to make us feel like they have it under control but no one has a good solution, and until we come up with something these problems are just going to get worse and worse.
From the Worlds Adrift blog, they've apparently heard back from the Unity side:

"Bossa has been informed by Unity that Worlds Adrift should not be affected by the situation between Improbable and Unity. Thus, Worlds Adrift remains live as normal."
They have this tech for sure, and have been working on it for a long time. I cant get into many details, but I beta tested a game that made a very short teaser announcement at either pax or E3 one year by dean hall. He was working with IO on the tech and a game, but the deal must have fell through. Dean went on to do a solo project (space engineers) which has nothing to do with any of this, but maybe inspired in some ways. When I beta tested the game, they had already successfully made it where the UI was basically streamed over the servers, so even mouse clicks was server side. The 3d rendering was done client side. It was buggy, but had stronger potential than anything I have ever seen up to that point. So this news is very interesting to me.
I think a lot of critics of the article in these comments bailed out of the article partway through.

The article is an examination of the origin of sexual selection. Are sexually selected traits linked to adaptive traits (originally, even if they later run away and become maladaptive), are they mere random chance, or is the truth more complicated than either of those theories?

at some point, we're going to have to stop assuming that indefinite unstructured economic growth is a given and necessarily good.

maybe that time is past, or its far in the future. but shouldn't we start adapting to that eventuality rather than having to wake up suddenly to the reality that we're running out of natural resources to support a growing population and filling our own house with pollution?

flattening of population growth or a very slow decline should be exactly what we should be hoping for.

For folks considering the XPS, check out the Dell Inspiron 7000 range. I have the 13" version and it very much reminds me of a MacBook Pro aesthetically. Brushed aluminum chasis, dark keys (with back lighting), and an overall sleek, understated design. Nothing like the cheap, plastic Dell's I was used to seeing.

And, it installed Ubuntu (mate) without a hitch. Everything worked out of the box except the font scaling. I suspect that's a Mate specific problem though. Gnome may work better.
It was Bionic Beaver. He was a well heeled SV manager, and he had a fairly new laptop. Not sure if it was a Dell.

This also happened with printing. People would say it worked fine for them, then point out that scroungers on quirky old laptops were getting what they deserved. Really, the fault wasn't those quirky old laptops, but rather fragile and not so well standardized software.

A Dahua DVR with wired cameras. Dahua has a free and painless P2P connection service that lets you view the DVR from the Internet without exposing a port in your router.

Hi! OP here. This was a user-submitted kit – so just calculating as is.

I'm constructing another kit based off this one which optimizes for payback period here https://sunboxlabs.com/shortest_payback/

But yes the battery payback is a problem. The discussion of the original article https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14821478 and the follow-up https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15425324 predicted this correctly: the original system with an undersized deep cycle lead-acid battery pooped out after a year. The Xantrex system above has way more extra energy storage, so it shouldn't get discharged completely as often (or ever). This should extend the life of the system, though 25 years is a stretch, yes.

I know this is going to sound a lot like “Why would anyone use dropbox when they could roll their own with an rsync shell script” but it’s not that bad. Please don’t spread FUD about the difficulty of freeing yourself from cloud surveillance. A copy of Blue Iris is $60, and you seem to be able to get 1080p indoor WiFi cameras for about another $60 each. Anyone who can connect a device to their wireless network, run a program, and forward a port can get equivalent functionality, and from my experience even a lot of non-tech-focused people are familiar with doing that for e.g. Xbox Live
The beauty of steganography is that is satisfying the basic need of discretion: everyone has secrets (even silly ones) that we want to share with just a few people.

Then a whole world of steganography appears :)

> It would get more complicated to support accessing it while away from home, admittedly. I don't know if that's an important feature for this application.

This is a huge feature which I've solved using an IPSec VPN. This is not something that's easy for regular people to do though, so it's not a universal solution.

If someone made a router that could easily provision VPN access for a device (e.g., generate a sensible OpenVPN config or something) it would make this setup a LOT easier.
What are the chances that phone calls are unreliable in this mobile?
This already exists in desktop environments. Of course, not all desktop environments have the same features. I know KDE Plasma has this. It can't work with all apps though, for the same reasons that MacOS and Windows can't have a feature like this that works with all apps. That is, unless you want to translate keystrokes into other keystrokes on a per app basis.

UE4 has always pushed high-end rendering tech hard and not prioritised mobile. There’s little awareness of the current state of its mobile capabilities, with few big UE4 hits on the App Store (and hundreds of Unity success stories including Pokemon Go and Hearthstone)

F2P mobile dev is also very UI heavy, and UI work with Unity/C# is easier than dealing with C++/Unreal.

And Unity has a wealth of ready made plugins that can be quickly integrated into a project for things like IAPs, advertising, analytics, etc. Although maybe UE is catching up in that area by now?
The program in this blog post https://ldpreload.com/blog/stack-smashes-you corrupts memory despite being well-defined C. If you think that program should output what it actually does, I think you need to point to the line of the spec that allows it to behave that way.

Stack probing isn't the only option. Other options include fixed maximum sized stacks, architectures with separate stack and heap address spaces, etc.
