Those fairy tales, I would bet that , if let's say for example Jesus, existed in reality as a person(not clear) He maybe didn't speak any of those fairy tales. They are inventions made by distorting and contorting what was originnaly said by the Thinker, most probably with malicious intentions.

Now there I am not clear, but in the case of Buddha, when he walked on earth(most probably true, if not already proven) I am even sure, and I dont like to say I am sure, because confidence is a two-edged blade, but all datapoints point to Buddha being probably very close to what we call an Atheist, and the rest was most probably added later as fairy tale.

A very good, I mean the best and most enlightening work ever written about Lamaism/Buddhism is probably that of the French Author Alexandra David Nell, That I have read decades ago, still remember her name, dont remember any of her books name, and Never found any mention of her existence again on Google or DDG or anywhere! Now everyone's DDG is the same, but as everyone's google is unique, if someone find any vestige of this French Author in his/her Search Engine, and can point us, I would be immensely , sincerely grateful, because I have been looking for it for decades now. Her writing still sounds like she believes in fairy tales, but in a pythonisical way(the best way :) she tells step by step all the non-metaphysical, philosofical serious explanation of each one of these concepts, that became fairy tales with time, unfortunately.

:late: How come the word "pythonisical" doesn't exist in English? Or my google is angry at me? Well...I hereby declare it's existance from now on, and, off couse, explain that this word is related to the smart and drug lover pretty girl(coincidentally!) that used to hang around the temple of Apolo in Delphi, and she was called by her close friends Pythia.

Good question. I struggled when I wanted to try some API sample code and I had to start by configuring Yeoman, brew, and whatever other infrastructure just to get to the point of being able to run a "simple" sample.

I have also been to 4hr workshops where 3 hours was taken to help students get setup with whatever environment we were there to learn. It would have been trivial to setup remote VMs.

An even more interesting question is how to keep tutorials executable as the underlying technologies evolve. This is a big problem with older books where code doesn't even compile. Microsoft Press is especially notorious for this.

I agree that combining technologies does not make sense. There is one very good approach I've seen used by the Meteor book team. I will use the same approach for writing tutorials for my technology.

The entire book is valid Meteor code. As it evolved and broke compatibility between 0.8 and 0.9, the book became outdated. However, the team continued to evolve the code.

Their approach was centered on checking out the next branch instead of typing it manually as you read. As you start reading next code listing, you can type "git checkout chapter4-1", for example. So, as the code would evolve and no longer function with latest version of the framework, they would update the branch tag and it would magically work again.

Although the code hasn't been updated since 2017, you may find it very interesting. If you run it with that era's Meteor, it will still work despite the code being largely irrelevant today https://github.com/DiscoverMeteor/Microscope and the http://discovermeteor.com site explains its rationale to end their involvement in the project.

One of my pet projects is to fully explain how to implement oAuth. If you can fully understand how to implement Salesforce login, others are cakewalk because they mostly omit steps that Salesforce chose to implement. I have a few ideas how to do it, but it may be a challenging task. Still, it's the most sticking point I see for newer developers who want to deploy usable code. It starts with calculating base64 header values and then they throw digital signatures and expiring tokens at you. In other words, have fun interpreting this tutorial. ;) https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_rest.m... It tells you what it expects but not why it expects it.

Twilio explains it fairly well, but expects you to implement itself using its SDK.

My intent is to build a comprehensive site that supports multiple languages to implement oAuth starting with plain JavaScript and a handful of select platforms and then adding support for other languages to get to the point where official documentation finally makes sense.
That is the same conclusions I reached. The gaps makes up such a significant portion of a year that the economical aspects of running fossil based power plants has not really changed while the overall power consumption moves towards renewable sources. A fossil based power plant will run when the renewable sources can supply the demand, dictating the cost by which ever of gas, coal and oil has cheapest combination of fuel price, investment and c02-costs.
I'm happy there are options, but Atom does all that as well, and it uses the same tech that I'm working with every day, and it has extensions for just about everything, and it's free software.

And that last part is suprisingly important to me. I'm not opposed to paying for software (hell, I use Windows as my development environment of choice!), but with the amount of time I spend customizing, and relying on my editor, it would have to be significantly better before I'd give up the ability to throw together a quick extension to integrate a homegrown test runner, or add syntax highlighting and debugger integration for a business basic style language that I work on from time to time, or be able to dive in and fix bugs or make changes to the core editor in cases where I run into a bug or want to tweak something.

Native just isn't something I care about. You might as well try to sell it by telling me that it uses a fantastic color blue for it's chrome.

And Atom handles big files just fine for me (at least up to a few hundred mb), but an editor is also not the tool I reach for in those cases (opting to pass stuff through CLI tools once it gets above a few megs), so an editor that handles those large files and datasets also doesn't benefit me and my process that much.

I have my complaints about Atom (the biggest at this point is that it sorely needs some direction in the linting/ide side of things. Every plugin does things slightly differently, and with Facebook dropping maintenance of the atom-ide set of packages, I fear it's only going to get worse), but I'm generally happy with it. Maybe I'm just getting old, but every few months I tend to try out alternatives, and I always end up coming back.
If that's your problem why didn't you switch to a "just works" disto like Linux Mint, instead of windows?
Played around with it. I do see the appeal and advantage if you need to save requests and fetch lots of nested data. Haven't had an actual use case yet (as in paid work). My fear would be that companies who'd be better off with rest (because their data and entities are relatively flat and simple) adopt it anyway. But that's my fear about a lot of libraries :D
Well that's one way to describe "any lifesaving treatment costs the sum total of resources that you can command".
Also relevant with the ongoing shutdown: https://typesandtimes.net/2019/01/shutdown-warps-time

> Time is not in such a dire state at the moment. That’s because on January 7, 2019, scientists in Paris decided there’d be no leap second in summer 2019, and therefore computers can keep on counting seconds without going out of step with official UTC.

> But if there’s another federal shutdown, one that lasts more than six months, one that happens while the IERS decides there will be a leap second, time itself would truly be warped, at least according to many computers.
The Irish firm has 'mac' in their name.

Supermac’s said it can now expand in the United Kingdom and Europe. It said it had never had a product called “Big Mac” but that McDonald’s had used the similarity of the two names to block the Irish chain’s expansion.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-mcdonald-s-corp-trademark...

From the other articles I've seen about this the implication is that the judgement was probably heavily influenced by McDonald's own anti-competitive shenanigans of trademarking names of competitors products:

The US chain had also trademarked the term “SnackBox,” an offering by Supermac's that McDonald’s does not offer.

> I have always disliked the “GPL doesn’t prohibit commercial use” argument. You know well why it isn’t practical to use for commercial purposes. You basically make any project using it into an unlimited full featured free trial.

I don't get it. What would be so wrong about making your source code available to everyone (including your competitors)? Remember, if your source code is AGPL and someone uses it, their source code is also AGPL and they must make their changes available to their users.

If you deliver real value to your customers, the fact that your source code is publicly available should be a plus point for your customers.
Great points. It's one thing to say that a scientific theory should be falsifiable (as a necessary but not sufficient condition), but the Popperians lose me when they claim either (1) that the only valid scientific study is an attempt at falsification, (2) that corroboration (or in Popperian terms, a failed attempt at falsification) has no significance. Both of these tropes come up in this "response", where Ionides et al. use them to throw some pretty serious shade at the ASA:

> This approach to the logic of scientific progress, that data can serve to falsify scientific hypotheses but not to demonstrate their truth, was developed by Popper (1959) and has broad acceptance within the scientific community. In the words of Popper (1963), “It is easy to obtain confirmations, or verifications, for nearly every theory,” while, “Every genuine test of a theory is an attempt to falsify it, or to refute it. Testability is falsifiability.” The ASA’s statement appears to be contradicting the scientific method described by Einstein and Popper.

However, (1) completely ignores discovery science (something I have ranted about here previously), and implies fully accepting Popper's claim to have solved the centuries-old "problem of induction" [1]. Meanwhile, (2) seems to pop up pretty frequently even though I'm not sure Popper himself would have agreed, considering [2]:

> It is easy, [Popper] argues, to obtain evidence in favour of virtually any theory, and he consequently holds that such ‘corroboration’, as he terms it, should count scientifically only if it is the positive result of a genuinely ‘risky’ prediction

Ionides et al. conveniently left out the second half of that context. Hmm, if only there were some sort of way to quantify that "riskiness". Like some sort of theorem... maybe of the form P(H|E) = P(E|H)*P(H)/P(E)

> Does a 10 year old show attract customers?

Let me put it like this: I'd happily double my subscription payments (and I'm on the max tier already) if they offered the entire Babylon 5 series, just to show my support. Hell, the only reason I started using Netflix in the first place is because they had all Star Trek TV shows, including the remastered version of TNG. I also know I'm not the only one in my circle of friends who started using Netflix because of Star Trek, and who would fork extra money for some 80s/90s sci-fi shows, just to show their support.
The first chapter of the doc already puts me off:

> "Why Mozart will be your new indispensible tool"

No, thank you. This is pure hubris.

Rather, explain to me:
"Why would you use Mozart?"

And then remove the entire first chapter if you will, and replace it with a subtitle such as: "Mozart is a toolset for developing simple single-file javascript frontend applications"

Or something similar. And THEN you can compare Mozart.js to Vue.js, angularJS, JQuery etc.
I appreciate any effort to make modern frameworks that can run in vanilla JS without compilation. I feel like the current JS compilation toolchain is still well in "uncanny valley" territory, where it can still be tricky to set up and the final product often still doesn't work quite right with browsers' dev tools. (I still find myself in situations where source maps aren't working for no apparent reason.)
Hasn't the same been true for premium cable channels for a long time?
>Right now we've got a thousand ever-changing solutions looking for a problem.

Wow you're right. And a lot of devs can't resist that temptation.

How to set up a schedule that gets the most out of your day
The actual answer is that it is to avoid getting categorised as flow TV.
I switched to Ubuntu in 2006 and ~3years ago my girlfriend wanted to switch too (I did not talk her into it).

Yes there are problems, but for me the reasons to use linux (and firefox instead of chrome) are trust and politics.

Maybe it's just me, but I really dislike software preventing or forcing random functionality because google, apple, ms or even canonical want me to. In this respect linux is in my opinion the best option.

As for the "things should just work" argument some people use - part of it is probably still valid, but I think linux is in some respects (handling of updates, security, installation process,...) way ahead of windows for example.

Some anecdata on that:
It takes ~5min when I need to do something on a windows or mac machine for me to get frustrated due to me not knowing UI details or the OS simply getting in my way (forcing updates on reboot for example). Maybe it's me, but then I'm working in web development for a while, so I suspect I'm of average intelligence.

The availability of professional software is a limiting factor in some areas (design and gaming come to my mind). But for development work I can't complain. The trend for web-based software helps too.

Think what you want about linux, all software has flaws - maybe we can get rid of some of them :)
Removable Certificate Authentication
Don't be put off by the negativity expressed in many of these comments. While I have my own concerns (why wouldn't I use Stimulus? and you might want to tone down the promises) it's just so easy to shit on other folks' contributions without anything positive to say.

I suspect that this project would be well served by some concise before/after comparisons of the specific use case scenarios where you can make a great case for the use of your library vs the incumbents. If you have 60s to sell us, don't bury your lede.
Throwing another anecdote out there, I have an Arch install close to its 4th year of continuous operation without any major issues.
Well, I could also point to the Bible, but I feel like I'm already pushing the boundaries of what is appropriate on HN.

In the case of the BoM it's not so much what's in the Book as the process by which it came to be written. Joseph Smith literally pulled it out of his hat! Also the ancillary beliefs that have grown up around it: Kolob, sacred underwear, institutionalized racism, polygamy...

In the case of Scientology, oh my goodness, where to even begin. The whole thing is just chock-full of weird. Thetans, Xenu, Clams... Just browse xenu.net.

Fun fact: If Apple had stuck to it's prior product naming conventions, this model would have been called the Macintosh SEx.

The Macintosh SE was the name of the first compact Mac with an internal expansion slot (at the time the SE was said to stand for system expansion), and that internal expansion slot was carried over to the SE/30.

Previous Macs using Motorola's 68030 CPU had been given the X suffix in their product name, like the Mac IIx.

Microsoft's Vision of 2019 User Interfaces (2009)
Of course it’s good to „get by“ and live a life without „hassle“. But I think it’s becoming more and more clear that this is just not the case.

Most part of what we call civilisation, such as industry, sich as the IT industry is simply not sustainable. To survive the 21 century we have to look at better methods to collaborate.

And of course technology is part of the eqaation. Open Source and similar efforts lead the way towards such better methods. But they cannot exist in vacuum or on a island alone.

So we have to change society but by bit. Let’s go!
I've been thinking about this sort of thing a lot recently in terms of our heavy use of Troposphere[1] which is a Python abstraction over AWS CloudFormation and how much better that abstraction is than just writing HTML (in the case of this library) or JSON/YAML (in the case of CloudFormation) directly.

Ultimately, for me, it comes down to what makes sometimes complicated declarative code easier to reason about, read and understand - it's a simple as that.

Some things are just _easier_ to write when you've got the power of a Turing-complete language with a decent standard library behind you; if for example you want to dump out a sorted list and then be able to easily update it later, or print a list of links alongside a hash of the contents of their targets.

I guess if you're building a simple website, anything like this tool could be overkill and you'd risk spending more time setting things up - and maintaining it in the future - than you'd be likely to save by using the tool in the first place. But for more complicated output having more tools to use lets you be arguably more declarative; you just change the input data to generate the desired output. You describe and allow automation of the _transition_ from input data to the desired end point.

I could definitely see how libraries like this would be tremendously useful for generating HTML. As it happens for our AWS infrastructure generation we enforce the use of Troposphere everywhere, because in that case the cost of setting up and maintaining it is essentially just copy-pasting an existing Makefile.

By the "standard model", thickness beyond whatever's necessary to make the pizza structurally sound (and allow mining and such) is immaterial. No-one lives on the sides, and there's nothing on the bottom. Or, alternately, the bottom extends infinitely to compensate for the complete lack of turtles. Take your pick - both work. Don't worry about the mass of the earth, since gravity isn't a thing; the appearance of gravity is due to density (somehow) or to the ever-accelerating vertical ascent of the Earth and the nice space-like ceiling and its lights and other decorations (moons and such). If there was any of that so-called "gravity" that NASA ordered Newton and Einstein to make up plausible math for, the Earth would either have to extend to an infinite plane (which does bad things for fitting the dome sky) or anything not in the centre of the Earth would have a distinct lean to it. (Although perspective and atmospheric refraction would probably make things look vertical, just as it works to make the sun appear to rise and set as it travels in its circle over the disc and causes ships to appear to disappear from the bottom up over the horizon. Which ships clearly don't, because Nikon P900.) And don't bother mentioning that density differences need gravity to work as an up/down mechanism, since your so-called "gravity" is just density. (Yes, that will be the answer you get.)

The key terms to remember are density, perspective and refraction. These explain any sphere-like or broadly heliocentric behaviours you may observe. And no, you can't just go to Antarctica to prove that it's just another continent, because there are armed forces keeping you away from the ice wall.
I think cable tv is much simpler to deliver as you only have a few channels. Netflix has tens of thousands of videos so they can't just broadcast everything (I don't think cable TV is broadcasting all their channels either, I don't know how they do it in practice).
Nuclear plants are required by law to save up capital as they go for decommissioning themselves.

They used to be required to pay into a fund for long-term waste storage, and that fund has about $40 billion now. But after the Yucca Mountain project was shut down, the nuclear operators had to store the waste in concrete enclosures on their own properties, so they went to court saying they shouldn't also have to pay the government to do nothing. In 2013 the courts agreed.

There are actually a lot of companies that want to spend money on R&D and build radical new nuclear designs, including Terrapower, Moltex, Terrestrial Energy, Flibe, Thorcon, Elysium, and many others. In the U.S. the NRC makes this extremely difficult.

A couple years ago I got to sit in a meeting between representatives from about a dozen of these companies and a former head of the NRC. The reactor people said their biggest problem was that the NRC requires a near-complete design before they'll even look at it, and then they give a straight yes or no. If yes you still just have a paper reactor, and if no then you're done. The design process costs several hundred million dollars and you have no idea whether the NRC will let you do anything with it. It's a very difficult environment for investors.

The reactor people said just a more phased process would help a lot. The NRC person dismissed their concerns, said it wasn't the NRC's job to help develop new technology or promote nuclear power, and wasn't interested in climate change.
