How to Change Your Mind Book Summary
Sounds like vitamins in ecig juice
We had an odd thing in elementary school gym class - parachutes! We sat around a parachute on the floor, and the teacher would play a record (it was the 80s) that would tell us when to raise/lower our arms then swap places by running under it when it was above us.
But does every "notable accomplishment" require a 20-year monopoly?

Anytime there's a foot race to the patent office, we, the consumers, are the inevitable loser.
Two things predict success, which correlates to health and happiness, in life well, IQ and Conscientiousness.

Schools can't teach IQ.

Does gym teach conscientiousness? I don't know, but for smart kids academic high school classes certainly don't. School should not be easy for anyone including smart kids, it needs to challenge.

“These adolescents were not enjoying the daily P.E. requirements and would’ve rather skipped school,”

Swap that with work and you get life. At what stage do you teach children to be adults?
It's _so_ good! It's the best technical writing I've read in memory. It's outstanding.
You did learn - or, you could have. You learned how to run, how to endure being sweaty and hot, how to jump, etc. Many athletic abilities are learned. You can tell someone with a modicum of physical training from a novice easily - even decades after any learning.

I have to say Gym for my 14 year old has turned from one of her favorite classes to one of the worst.

It seems like a pretty rigid curriculum that's centered around various easy to quantify things (like time to run a mile) and not anything to do with being healthy, exercising, or having fun.

So they keep them on the asphalt for an hour when it's 110F. They teach them dancing and changing partners every 30 seconds during flu season. They have then run through muddy grass when it's raining. More like a boot camp than anything fun/healthy.
I don't believe that designers can be automated out of the process.

I made this service because after years of co-running a design agency, I saw an increase in the need for logos, but a decrease in the willingness to pay for it. For bigger companies, it's no problem to hire a design agency to do their branding process. And yes, you can do more thoughtful and tailored design. We still do this at our design agency.

On the other hand, there are lots of people who simple don't have the budget for a logo design process, don't have illustrator / photoshop skills, and just really want something nice for a good price. I tried my best to create an online, automated solution that's specifically made for these people, the freelancers, the side-hustlers, the startups.
Off-topic: Thank you for creating monokai!
I think there are still some reasonable solutions:

* smaller resistive heaters with higher airflow

* dump the heat into resistively heating the battery. Then use the battery again!

* Just use disk brakes to achieve the same feel. Which is also, basically, dumping heat.

Remember that the problem to solve is that a car shouldn't drive differently at different temperatures...
"These 2 weeks we're doing volleyball"

"I don't wanna play volleyball, can I get some guys and we'll play floor hockey instead?"

"NO"

Well, fuck gym I guess.
I think this was really common in the 80s/90s in the US.
Interesting. How much oil should I use for a 9" pan? Looks like 170-180 is below the smoking point of any oils I'd potentially use, but does the actual oil matter? Is vegetable, canola, or peanut totally fine?
My high school removed dodgeballs and gave us these foam bullshit things that didn't even work.

So that was the end of PE, at least for me...
This is awesome! I wish I had kept my old ST disks haha.

Apps I remember:

Revenge of the Mutant Camels remains one of the best games ever.

Calamus was also a great piece of software that predated Pagemaker for many years.

Heroes quest, police quest series of games.

There was an animation/tweenijg app for animation that blew me away.

These machines were great substitutes for amigas of the day.
>Which of course misses the point of why people use Slack over IRC: history without screwing about.

It's why you use Slack, rather than why people use Slack. I'm sure you could make do without the emojis, GIFs, and videos, but the market says people seem to think otherwise.
That’s a mischaracterisation of at least one side of that particular debate.

In the specific case of homelessness, the left’s position is more or less to reject any attempt to assign blame or adjudicate fairness. Could homeless people have avoided their situation by just keeping it together slightly better? Of course, yes. But raining even more hardship on them (people in this threat are talking criminalization and forced sterilization) adresses only our instinct that wants them to suffer, while doing nothing to actually help.
Until this substance is a bit older, I'd refrain from claiming it's harmless.
Chrome has a solution to this that doesn't involve individually vetting sites. It's based on an individual user's behavior on previous visits to the site, and what percentage of those visits involved media usage.

The Purescript compiler is built in Haskell, and they use NPM to distribute the binaries. npm i -g purescript fetches a platform-appropriate binary and installs it.

I'm not affiliated with the project (I just dabbled briefly), but I would guess writing a language like Purescript in Haskell would probably be easier than writing it in Javascript.
XMPP worked well enough with a server or client that supported history. Supposedly Matrix is better though I'm too lazy to try and convince everyone I know to use it.

The thrust of the article changes from "governments should use open source software" to "governments should open-source their custom software" about 2/3rds of the way through. Contrary to the headline, it never goes as far as to say that any government-funded software should be open-source.[1]

The latter precludes the (reasonable) arguments talking about grants and public-private partnerships, of which the intent is to stimulate economic innovation, not produce public code.

I think the proposal is reasonable, but it puts a heavy administrative onus on the government to open-source said code, including potential warranting that the code in question is indeed free of any other copyright or license requirement.

[1] Emphasis mine: "any government code produced with public money..."
ULA does that, not spacex

and spacex doesnt plan on going public

and technically it's russian engines that launch them

in any case company valuation is not based on aspirations
Because I'd like to think that we put people in prison when they are danger to others or the society. Someone selling pirated copies of Office is neither. Fuck,I'm a software developer and I wouldn't want someone selling pirated copies of our product to go to prison. Especially not for 3(!!!!) years. Especially not in an American prison. Maybe my complaint should be with the ridiculous system that allows this to happen though - there's plenty of other punishments that could be used instead of locking someone up for three years.
Again... same is true for a bicycle. Or a pedestrian. Or a Segway. We can argue physics and legalities but no one has seemed to touch the actual substance of my point, which is "does this thing need to offer better crash protection than its closest competitor, a bike?"
On the other hand if my taxes went to pay for something I should get to know what it is, shouldn't I? If our elected representatives paid 500 million of our tax dollars for some piece of software shouldn't we be able to audit it and see if that was money well spent? If we can't do this, how will we know which representatives to vote for again?
I agree. That's why I specifically implemented the uBlock filter for any posts containing "your friend was tagged in ___" or "your friend commented on ____". 99.9% of those posts were meme posts I had no interest in. I recommend you look at my filter list and see if that one helps, if you happen to use uBlock Origin. It did wonders for my feed.
You're solving the wrong problem. Calculating tax owed is the easy part. Figuring out your income is the challenge: tracking all your business expenses, depreciation, credits, exemptions, etc.
You're only thinking about the _input_. Technically, yes, I can host an express app on lambda just like I could by other means, but the problem is that it can't really _do_ anything. Unless you're performing a larger job or something you probably need to read/write data from somewhere and connecting to a normal database is too slow for most use-cases.

Connecting to AWS managed services (s3, kinesis, dynamodb, sns) don't have this overhead so you can actually perform some task that involves reading/writing data.

Lambda is basically just glue code to connect AWS services together. It's not a general purpose platform. Think "IFTTT for AWS"
My car already does this with radar-informed cruise control, except it doesn't force a certain speed on the driver. You just set it like normal cruise control.
It seems to be terrible in both Australia and the USA, over a long period.

My son's Judo instructors had much more fond memories of European style instruction, which sounded considerably more demanding, but more structured and educational. Part of the problem to my way of thinking was that PE class, by high school, has just become a way of glorifying those who already have physical prowess at the expense of everyone else.

This is not helped by the fact that most PE teachers, in my experience, were the most avid disciplinarians and the least intelligent teachers of anyone I encountered.

It's a pity. It could be done way better. They would have to start earlier, set higher standards for the kids (while practicing positivity and focusing on how much they can improve everyone), and VASTLY increase the quality of the teachers. It also wouldn't hurt to reemphasize the offering of a wide variety of sports for everyone (rather than focusing all resources on a few chosen teams, or, like most schools I know about in Australia now, just not really having sport anymore).

Ninja is by design low level, it doesn't need to know that about C++. That's the point of having a front end that would know about libraries and such.

So not sure what you argument is about. It's like saying that assembly has no high end abstractions. Sure, it doesn't. It in itself is not an argument against splitting the build into several passes.

That said, Buck looks like an interesting build system.

In general, to have proper handling of librarires and etc. the language itself should support the notion of modules, like Rust does. Then you can implement sane tools (cargo). C++ is still crippled in this regard. Though there are some ideas how to improve it:

That's because personal health & fitness is treated as a completely personal endevour in society, much like most of what we call "parenting," at least in most parts of the US. You could design the perfect curriculum based around teaching holistic personal health habits at specific age-appropriate levels, but the first time the fat kid goes home and says "hey maybe we shouldn't have mac N cheese or casserole for the 4th night this week" you get the fat parents making a fuss over their kid making them feel bad or just for questioning them at all.

"School" is a product that must be sold to the parents, the people "signing the checks" with their local tax money. It's kinda like enterprise software. The users are not the people making purchasing decisions, so you're always going to end up with a bad incentive structure for the quality of life of end-users (students) if the decision-makers aren't fully aligned with the users. How many fat parents are going to be on board with the school teaching their fat child a healthier lifestyle?

Right now, it appears that parents want a product that gives them the _feeling_ of caring about their child's long-term health habits, without them personally needing to make any changes to their lifestyle or parenting style.
No, the deadliest mass shooting in American history was at Wounded Knee. The government, which had been confiscating guns, shot 146 people to death.

So that's 146 who died due to an effort to take their guns. Let's not repeat history.

On a similar note, there was the Waco siege. That was also an effort to seize guns. There the US government killed 76, which is also worse than the Las Vegas incident, but partly done by burning people to death instead of shooting them.
Private Equity describes any trading in non-listed companies. Private Equity funds sometimes do the things you’ve described, but private equity just means the shares aren’t traded publicly, it doesn’t denote any particular investment strategy. There’s pros and cons on each side, but if you want liquidity, then you’re going to struggle getting it through private equity investment.
You have constructed several straw men, and have become hysterical in the process.

I'm not claiming it's sufficient. Perhaps it's not.

But it seems mistaken to use anti-trust regulations to break up or regulate companies when there are still laws on the books that help facilitate market dominance. Repeal those first and see what happens before doing anything else.

Any legal rule that makes legitimate HTTP requests illegal (i.e. requests whose purpose is not solely to commit harm ala a DDoS) ought to be repealed.
When interviewing someone for a more senior position, I would always ask, "What was your worst [work-related] mistake?" If they couldn't come up with anything, they were either lying or they just coasted through their previous jobs. If their answer was mostly about how it was really someone else's fault, then I'd consider them lacking in the kind of attitude I consider important in a co-worker.
The problem with gym class lesson plans is they gradually become "laminated" so all you have to do is wipe them with a paper towel when you spill your coffee on them.
The Most Secretive Club in America
The discussion in that request thread about how to get the novel out of the reading room where one of the most entertaining ones I’ve read. I wish there was a backup.

People were going crazy with coming up with plans and spy grade equipment to take pictures. Good times.
Kind of funny how so many people here (myself included) hated gym class because of being bullied or being physically awkward. I wonder if this is a widespread issue or if it's just that hackernews is full of nerds.
> the article is saying if you receive government funding, it should be open source.

Despite the headline, the article actually doesn't state that. It says thing like, "any government code produced with public money", "all software developed for the government", and "any source code written by the government must be released".
Please name one similarity between Slack and Snapchat.

The market is more often correct about future earnings over any meaningful window than any individual on Hacker News.
That is rather amazing.

There was one case I remember reading about 15-20 years ago where someone in the UK dropped a letter into a mailbox with just a name, street number (IIRC), and street and it managed to get to the recipient in Pennsylvania, US. Someone from the post office guessed that a bunch of misreadings happened to get it close enough.

I guess a creepy possibility is if they have a database of every letter sent they can search that to often figure out the likely recipient (at least in the case I am thinking about where they were in regular contact).

What makes you think that you (or anyone else for that matter) are capable of preventing the abuse of FR? I appreciate that you and many others in the space are working with the best intentions, it just seems like any potential benefits of FR are dwarfed by its potential use as a tool of oppression.
> Being graded on ones ability to complete a mile within a certain time constraint, as opposed to being graded on effort, is utter madness

How is that different from being graded in other subjects in school? You don't get an A in calculus because you tried to answer the question, you get a grade based on how good you answer the question.

For most of the videos, we do have screen recordings (e.g. see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VW2jn9Okjhw).

Sadly, we're missing screen recordings for a couple videos (such as the shell video, where we had some issues with the screen recording software). We're thinking of re-doing some of those videos in a screen-cast style so that they'll be more useful for viewers.
I’ve never been asked or needed to.

If I did I guess I’d create a minimal google account with as little info as possible, ensure it’s security / privacy settings were set as restrictive as possible and then have to settle for using a Firefox container just for google sites (there’s a good pre-made on on the extensions site), you could go as far as also spoofing your user agent etc but that might just be more of a pain than it’s value.

Will need to take a deeper look later but from a quick skim I really like the approach taken: a well curated list of time tested tools across each area, going deeper where applicable.

For me the key point above is about a lack of tool knowledge causing "roundabout approaches" and frustration. Knowledge of these tools can do so much to demystify and make the seemingly arcane start to slot into place.
This concept also applies to most things in adult life living in modern society. Results matter. You don't get a Series-A-for-effort in business.
The problem with that approach is that it is all or nothing. What people want is only allowing whitelisted sites to be able to play video.

I've been using the mute sites by default extension in firefox for a while. That pretty much does what Mozilla is promising now. Works great for sound and I occasionally whitelist a website when I actually want some sound.

I'd love the same extension to be able to block video elements from playing as well. I find it highly distracting and I tend to have no patience for videos about news items.

As I understand it, that is actually not possible in Firefox. All of the extensions I've encountered that claim to be able to do that are a combination of either completely broken or merely turning off the ability to auto play video on every website without the ability to white list.

Muting sound by default is progress. Having the ability to black/whitelist sites from playing any media would be what I want. I don't need it to be default. I'm happy to do this via an add on, even. But right now there seem to be no good options for this.
IMO, for something that promises to be (and needs to be!) so foundational, it would be best to go with a mature implementation stack, and Go fits that better than Nim.

> you can see that someone messed up and thought they rebased before merging but actually didn't

we use a pre-receive hook which checks that the "oldest ancestor" between the branch being pushed to (i.e. current master's SHA) and the branch being pushed (i.e. the tip of what is to become the new branch) is actually the current master's sha; else, the push is rejected with "Rebase a merged branch before merging it into master".

"oldest ancestor" being:

* take git rev-list --boundary $current_master_sha..$new_sha

* get the last line matching ^- and remove the ^-

* that should be $current_master_sha; if not, error.

Well, if you ignore fuel consumption, pollution, and parking impact. Anyway...

No, I was referring to the specific "on my way home" use case you referred to... which is the typical case. If you stop by the store on the way home, you aren't adding a trip in either direction. Having delivery adds two trips, from and to. Two trips vs. zero.

In a new browser tab type in "about:config" without the quotes.
Next agree to the disclaimer.
Next look up these options in the search box and change them to the following values:

media.autoplay.ask-permission true

media.autoplay.default 1

media.autoplay.enabled.user-gestures-needed true

Or look for similar names if not exactly the ones above as they change per version of Firefox.

No need to wait for an update to Firefox 66.
I went to a private school in the US that had a similar setup. For each 3 month season, everyone was required to either join an interscholastic team or participate in an intramural sport with daily practice. Aside from certain high-popularity sports like basketball and lacrosse, pretty much everyone got to play whatever sport they wanted to. If you didn't like team sports you could join the running/weight lifting individual fitness group. The fact we had some agency in how we structured our excercise made athletics way more enjoyable minimized the bullying and unhelpful busywork inherrent in traditional P.E.
Im sorry but everything you write sounds like a verbatim quote from a fascist dystopia. Please consider why several people here have expressed bafflement at your position. Criminalization of homelessness, as but one example, is a rather abhorrent idea.

Or consider how easily you could end up “useless” for society: if you get cancer, or into a car accident, would it be ok for society to just let you die? After all, the treatment is certain to cost far more than the taxes you would eventually pay after recovery.

I also feel quite safe here in the streets of Berlin, and part of that is that nobody is going around dividing people into useful and useless.

> The rule must be made transparent and clear

The rule itself is transparent and clear.

Whether the rule in as the basis for the action here is not.

It clearly would generally be required (as due process) to make that clear, too, if Google was the government of the US or one of it's states, but they aren't. Absent a contractual obligation I have seen no evidence for, I don't see why they would be obligated to explain this, even if I might find it prerable if they would.
