I appreciate that too. And you are not wrong. Books, sans visualization are amazing.

Language can invoke many things.

I once fixed a black and white TV for an elderly woman. I could have set her up with a color one.

There are times when I skip descriptive parts of a text myself. It is not always germane to the overall experience.
Well said.

Germany counts its non-labor workforce very differently than the US. It’s hard to make a comparison (people over 58 aren’t counted, etc.)

FCC regulates only to 3THz (~100µm wavelength). The IR laser emission is near 200THz. Regulatory jurisdiction here is the FDA under 21 CFR 1040. Unfortunately MPE for the regulation is all based on the biology of the eye, so that is where you'd have to find your argument. Probably the best avenue to argue would be that the peak power of the short pulse is above MPE although in a practical sense the total energy may not be a problem. My guess is that in this case there would be allowable measurement methodology that both passes and fails the standard, and the legal argument would center around that.

Monitors that don't need a finger stick can take blood from other body areas, usually the forearm. The theory is there are less nerves in places other than the finger.

The result is not considered as accurate compared to finger sticks but it's an option for people that can't really stick their fingers I guess.

They're mostly the more modern ones that don't need much blood. Also the ones I've purchased have a special attachment for the lancet device to accommodate the different location.

The ads do seem to imply that you don't need to use a lancet but that's just marketing and advertising. You still need to use a lancet to get a drop of blood.

Ask HN: What are cultural differences between gamedev and rest of the world?

As cool and readable as ligatures are in print design and typography, I find them to be unhelpful and even sometimes downright confusing when it comes to code. For me they violate a general (unspoken) principle of monospaced fonts, which is not just that each character is the same width, but that each character is discrete. It can be difficult to tell _how many_ characters the ligature comprises.
Do you mean the online HarvardX CS50 course? I started it when MOOCs were first appearing, and it includes Scratch. It looked very enthusiastic and buzz-worthy to me (which can be very good for a lot of people). However, past students doing a music and dance routine on stage about how exciting it had been, and the first lectures concluding with announcements of pizza parties with Facebook recruiters was too much for me, in that I felt too old.

Alternatively, the MITx 6.002 course on Computational Thinking is also for undergraduate students, but it had a greater focus on programming being integral to the sciences and other fields. I don't recall the the curriculum exactly, but even though the course is an introductory one I think some of the concepts might be a little daunting for a young teenager.

In addition to the UBC courses, another introductory treatment that won't overwhelm to a committed young learner is the DartmouthX C Programming with Linux. One of the instructors, Petra Bonfert-Taylor, taught a very accessible introductory complex analysis course on Coursera, and seems especially interested in first experiences students have with topics so that they are not discouraged. She has written a number of articles on teaching an introductions to new subjects.

This is a poor quality article with lots of weird assertions.

> "All new forks initially inherit their parent blockchain’s market cap, regardless of their own merit, value, utility, initial uptake, use, liquidity, etc."

Forking a coin in no way assigns any monetary value to it. It can't even have a real market cap until it's price is set by market demands. The only part of market cap that gets carried over is the supply.

"...anyone who can trivially fork Bitcoin (and get their shiny new shitcoin listed on an exchange) to create an alt-coin with apparently equal valuation to BTC. This works at least for a time, until other longer-term market forces inevitably act to bring the new asset into a more realistic valuation"

Weird to mention that forking is trivial in the same sentence (and condition) as getting it listed on an exchange. Getting a coin listed on a legitimate exchange is extremely non-trivial. And again it would not have equal valuation. It has no valuation until the market demands it.
Usability improvement idea: make it easier to discover how to re-center the graph around a new subreddit.

I spent several minutes playing around with this, and I was just typing in the name of the desired subreddit because that was the only I could figure out. Finally, after much experimenting, I realized double-clicking is the solution.

Oh, and a second, related usability idea: if I double-click, don't open the preview sidebar at the right. I can see how the sidebar is useful, but if I'm doing one action, I don't want it to have two effects. Also, I have signaled clear intent to browse the graph, so I want more screen real estate to be devoted to that.

EDIT: bonus usability idea/request: clicking on a node brings up the preview sidebar. It'd be nice if clicking on it again (not double-clicking) makes the sidebar hide again.

While people should take seriously the recent outbreak of E. coli food poisoning that triggered the alert, the fact that it was flagged early shows that the agency once known as the CDC deserves its upgraded name as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

44 million Americans use SNAP benefits. 5 million Americans are of indigenous descent. 800,000 Americans employed by the federal government are not getting paychecks. Some ostensibly large percentage of the 3.7 million federal contractors are not getting paychecks. That's about one-sixth of the population of the United States. Maybe typical Americans should pay more attention to their neighbors and friends.

It's Windows-only but I like AbstractSpoon's todo list
https://abstractspoon.weebly.com/

It's a basically like a tree-style notepad, which makes it easy to break larger goals down in to subtasks or dependencies

For each tree node that you click on, you can add notes in the textbox on the right.

I have a similar process to what some other people mentioned they do with text files -- divide it up into several lists (top level tree nodes) to separate short term goal (daily) from medium term or longer goals (stuff I might get to next week or next month)

This software has been around a long time and the author has packed a ton of features in there, so there are a lot of different ways it could be used, but I really like it for just simple hierarchical notekeeping for tasks.
Agree mostly but it is nevertheless a useful term. What it means precisely is determined by culture. And culture is another problematic term, for roughly similar reasons.

This comic is brilliant!

I ended up being a programmer but I graduated with an Electrical Engineering degree.

What's interesting is that I generally don't recall fundamental physics or applied coursed having this attitude, i.e. nobody expects students to understand theories without proper context set up. Physics is generally taught from experiments.

I believe math is mostly guilty here :-) For some reason most of school math is taught as a bunch of soulless abstract sybmol manipulation. No proofs, no reasoning, pure memory-based excersises.

Then you come to a university and they just go on. Proofs-proofs-proofs, but with the same mechanical approach. No motivation, no context, just endless calculus variation.

Yes, this really showed how much information I can put into my memory. But I only started to get math many years and books later.
lol, you my friend are very confused.
> every task needs a single person who is responsible for ensuring that task is done.

Indeed. But "done" means different things to different people—to the developer, to QA, to deploy engineers, to devops, to the stakeholder. And more goes into a ticket than done/not done, that needs other people to chime in.

> What's odd is why SpaceX is cutting staff with the new development underway on the larger rockets and the satellite business.

You're missing that they finished up falcon heavy development last spring, falcon 9 block 5 a little later, and crew dragon is finishing up now. That's a lot of development manpower freed up. To much for starship probably, and I don't know if many of the launcher skills are applicable to satellites.
I will say that the people who develop HTDP are the some of the people who spend the most time writing about pedagogy in computing education. Felleisen in particularly has written a lot on the subject: http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/matthias/Thoughts/Developing_Dev...

> The curriculum is too artificial and disjoint from the rest of their CS degree

I would then argue the problem is the rest of the CS degree. Whether HTDP "works" or not, the principles espoused in the course are the same ones you'll encounter over and over again throughout your professional career. As far as I can tell, the only difference is the HTDP (and SICP) folks are introduced to them from day one while others learn through years of experience. And this is the problem about the CS101 course "working for everyone": does it work because you're only delaying the introduction to the difficult concepts endemic to software development? If a student can pass CS101 just by virtue of being able to string together a compilable C++ program, is that really for the best?

Anecdotally, I got a 2 on the CS AP test, which was enough to make me second-guess my major. Luckily, I went to an HTDP school where the professor assured me not to worry about it -- and sure enough, I aced the CS101 course and went on to have a successful career writing code.

Stephen Covey's system embodied by the Franklin Covey planners were the most holistic system I've ever seen for managing the day to day, and keeping the big picture in mind (the fulfilling part). It's sad the company has all but died.

GTD is great for churning out done tasks. Though afterwards I felt less fulfilled.

Since Franklin Covey failed to ever produce a software product of any use I use an ugly mix of iPhone reminders, Things (by Cultured Code) and Microsoft OneNote.

http://weekplan.net is an attempt to mix Franklin Covey and OKR (Objective & Key Results). It has some good features, but it's buggy and confusing.

I've also gone without any planning system for a time. Only focusing on what bubbled up in my mind. If you remain undistracted it's incredibly liberating when you discover how little you must accomplish to enjoy a healthy productive life.
