> Why? You seem to have an implicit hierarchy of transportation, and public transit is at the bottom of it.

No, many people prefer it -- everyone who uses it does. And everyone who drives prefers to drive. Because they both have the option to do the other thing.

But getting one person to stop driving can't get two people to use mass transit. Where is the other person supposed to come from? Why would someone who hadn't been driving to begin with change their behavior based on the option they were already not choosing becoming even worse?

If all you're doing is diverting people away from driving, you can't increase overall throughput because there is nowhere you're adding by more than you're subtracting somewhere else.
Lenovo even has official videos on YouTube that describe how to do this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7FI_y4FXdA
Indeed - who has an answering machine these days?
I do React at work and Elm for personal projects, and I feel the React ecosystem is trying too hard to become something its not. Hooks to me are an added level of complexity, and doesn't simplify the way I write or test components. I don't really mind the class based components as I feel there is less magic.

Personally, React had a great run, but it's time to move on to a more purpose built language/framework.
Is the minix - intel has similar hack?
I think the issue that I had was that my regular bindings in insert mode (CTRL-a) were disabled while in vi input mode, which caused problems for other shell programs. Plus, with Tmux and GNU Screen already re-configured with vi bindings, managing key binding collisions became complicated with vi input mode enabled. The bigger issue that I tend to have is managing copy-paste buffers between Screen, Tmux, and Vim.
Wouldn't benches, trees and just about everything else be a hazard to those people too?
It was my first time at FOSDEM. I listened to podcasts/read blog posts from people that have been attending the last 15 editions so I kind of knew what to expect. I brought snacks both days, and didn't bother bringing a laptop. I picked odd hours for commuting, and tried to commit to a track/room for a bit (it took me days to figure out my schedule)

That means I probably missed some of the FOSDEM experience but I also didn't experience much crazy (except for the wintry mix that made moving around so hard on Saturday)

You are right that the volunteer experience is inconsistent and I have no data to compare to other years. At times, in some rooms, it felt like the attendees were self-policing (shooshing others, controlling people standing up, etc.) when the volunteers were not. I've also been to events in other places (Open Source Summit Japan comes to mind) where there were volunteers but the experience was much more streamlined. It might be cultural, who knows.

What I heard (and therefore wasn't expecting) is that nothing new gets announced at FOSDEM anymore. However there are still tens of thousands of people in the industry that might hear the news on Twitter/HN/elsewhere and still want to go ask questions/have a debate.
I highly recommend the documentary Last Train Home. It follows a Chinese family - the parents leave their children in their rural village to go off in search of work. They make the annual trip back to see them for Chinese New Year.

The film captures the awesome scale of the migration and its cultural importance, as well as the social impact of China's urbanization. It's really devastating.

It was not uncommon to ship with debug feature on back in those days when microcode is innovative
Plus this isn't as undocumented as he would have you believe. .. I can't find it now, but I had a thread somewhere about how easy it was to find the PDF with the specific commands he had to reverse engineer; documented in published VIA specs.
If you attended FOSDEM 2019 and live anywhere in the Americas, I would love to get in touch to see if we can organize an Americas FOSDEM Debrief with a handful of people in the room plus live streaming. It'd be great to have summaries per track. It'd be fantastic to have speakers join us, but I'm mostly interested in attendees. I'm same username on Twitter, too.
Being homeless could also mean that your house burned down so you’re staying in a hotel. Or that you’re in a battered women’s shelter. Or maybe sleeping in a car or at a friend’s house.

It doesn’t just mean sleeping outside - this is a common misconception.
Point taken and appreciated. I agree that homeless is a bit of a catch-all, but I'm not sure that we have any equivalent phrase to rough sleeping in the US (at least on the East Coast). When I hear the word homeless, I first think of people living on the streets.
And somehow not have it melt next to the sun.
See that's the thing. why does it need to be something theyre "getting away with"? I don't think it's wrong corporations collect personal data. Anything to bring marketing closer to consumer relations is better.
I have seen this documentary a few years ago and still think about it on a monthly basis or whenever someone refers about Chinese workers. Really impactful.
3-D printing creates more realistic tumor models
I'm not sure what you mean. Ada hasn't ever undergone any breaking changes I'm aware of, so even Ada 83 would be valid Ada 2012. I'm not sure how a compiler could lose support of older versions.

The only difference I've ever run into was an AdaCore-defined (as in not part of the standard) aspect that was known but not fully implemented by GCC Ada, while the Community edition did have it. That's since been added to GCC as well.
where do the cops put them? you can't just remove people.
The difference is subtle (and took me a bit to figure out!). In the article's example component, the component's "main" function gets re-run on every render and a new `count` variable is created each time. The effect function is only run once at the very first render, and only captures the value from this first render.

I'm having a little trouble explaining the difference well, I think this jsfiddle illustrates the incorrect case the article is talking about representatively: https://jsfiddle.net/7fLnvz5c/
Well, neutrino detection is hard...

That's exactly how it is in True Names. Utilities and daemons are actually like demons in the fantasy genre. Or like knowing the true name of a genie. It's like casting spells. Hannu Rajaniemi does something very similar with invoking utility fog stuff.
every major tech company and lots of others has received the NSL, what do you recommend doing about it?
Some digital nomads classify themselves as homeless, although it's a bit tongue-in-cheek as they are clearly of a different socioeconomic status.

At least for me, when I hear the word homeless I first think of someone living on the streets. We don't have exact equivalent to rough sleeping in the U.S. that I can readily think of.
> What about when event structures change? Now you’re having to push versions into your events and keeping every version of your serialisation format.

Sure. Events are like filled out forms, and there is a reason forms that are significant, modified over time, and where determining meaning from historical forms is a expected business need tend be versioned (often by form publication date). If you ever need to reconstruct/audit history (whatever your data model), you need a log of what happened when that faithfully matches what was recorded at the time, and you need definitions of the semantics as to how the aggregation of all that should map to a final state. Event sourcing is a pretty direct reification of that need, and, yes, versioning is part of what is needed to make that work.
> The defining characteristic of religion is faith...

That's actually not true. One clue here is that many religions do not ask for faith, which is to say one does not actually observe a demand of faith universally in religions. Faith per se is not observable, so it would not do as a defining characteristic of religion.

Frequently, religions only ask for ritual observance. This is the defining characteristic of religion -- ritual observance that affirms a person's commitment to a community and its values. Whether people "really believe" or not has no simple effect on whether the ritual serves to reinforce shared values or not. Many people feel bonded to a community and its values even when engaging with a mythology that is obviously fictitious, as for example when people go to the desert to burn the man every year; or dress up like aliens and head to Star Trek Vegas.
> Riding the train, subway, trolley, or bus and walking a couple blocks at each end is a heck of a lot “better” than sitting in traffic or driving 20 times around the block hunting for a parking space.

Then what do you need congestion pricing for? You don't need to suppress something that's worse than the alternative because if that were true nobody should have any desire to do it to begin with.

> Even moderately dense urban areas are inherently poor places for personal automobiles, whose infrastructure wastes tremendous amounts of space.

Congestion pricing doesn't change the amount of space allocated to those things. That's completely independent. You can build over roads or eliminate minimum parking requirements without congestion pricing. That also suppresses driving, but in that case it's a trade off which people are actually getting something out of, instead of just a regressive money grab that helps nobody but the corrupt politicians who will waste the money on pork. And then keep all the wide roads and parking spaces in the city because it's the only way to continue generating the congestion pricing revenue.
> Many forms of meditation are nothing but sustained observation and investigation of internal states of mind from a first-person perspective.

It is not that fact, that is usually argued. It is the claim, that this investigation actually gives any benefits over sleep/brainstorming/you name it.
Medium annoys me so hard I just give up on reading content and close the page.
The ice would need to be very clear, surrounded by a grid of detectors, and all of that surrounded by a minimum of several hundreds of metres of rock on all sides.

The reason it needs to be clear is the detector watches for flashes of Cherenkov radiation.
Unless incognito mode was used.
Alas license plate tracking is already pretty widespread, adding a toll gate with contactless payment doesn't make much of a difference now.

In car transponders of course would make the privacy problem worse.
As a young kid I didn't play any action games (especially first-person shooters) at first, because I didn't have the skill to play them properly, and instead I played games from other genres, like point-and-click adventures. I think your concern is unfounded.

> React gives me the feeling that it's trying to come up with hacks to shoehorn imperative UI

React IS a hack to shoehorn declarative UI into an imperative language and DOM system. All further progress in the field is going to be a collection of hacks.

ReasonML, Elm etc are clear ways forward that attempt to start from a clean slate, but you're trying to do declarative UI on JS+DOM, everything is going to be a hack. React is just the nicest currently available hack.
I wonder what ratio is in London.
I doubt our detectors are sensitive enough to pick that up, but it’s a good point.
Haters everywhere. Hong Kong is not really the best place for peace and quiet. Like... really
For this to happen there needs to be a cultural shift in the US. Finland values equality, US not so much.

If there are doing useful and constructive things with tech some of the time it's good. I used to play 50% video games, 50% programming and I turned out good enough IMO.
He was foolish to mix his money and the company's money; CEOs should always be explicit about this, if only for the optics.

Not sure it's a crime, though, and the Nissan senior management seem to have known about it for a long time without doing anything about it. This seems quite negligent of them.
"Rough sleeping". I learned a new phrase today. :)
Events in that context are totally different. Sure there's overlap, but that's mostly a coincidence.
A Closer Look at the Java VirtualMachineError – DZone Java
Thank you for the example, Jake! It was very helpful. You and Jason's answer cleared it up for me.
Not nearly all personal data collection is obvious and even less of it is of tangible benefit to users. I'm with you about voluntary collection, but when the last several years' of history is replete with spying, coercion, back-doors, leaks, lying by corporations, privacy anti-patterns in software, and general lack of any meaningful regulation to reign it all in ... we have to be more critical.
If you don't know why it's a problem or why people are posting it, maybe it would help to ask people here what homelessness is like in their countries, or google?

Right now your post is coming off like someone from Paris visiting Pocatello, Idaho, and saying aloud in a bar, "why is drunk driving even a problem here? In Paris, we just take the metro home after we drink!"
> is that most people dont want to do that stuff. Forcing everyone to be an “intellectual” for their survival would be downright dystopian

That wouldn’t be too different from the system today :(
It would be a different set of people, sure. But it would actually be a net positive if this subset is smaller than the current subset (of people who don’t want to do x). I’d expect the number of people who are able to find their niche in arts, science, philosophy,etc would be quite large.
Did you try trading on this data?
Science has been demonstrating how free will is an illusion. I’m waiting to see the day of religion learning from this and people waking up to the damage the free will ideology has caused throughout history.
Meditation & yoga are wonderful tools for clearing the mind. Fasting is even healthy with starting the process of “garbage collecting” old cells. I think religion will survive in history by not being erased but I would be happy if it were because it would be justice to the ruined lives by it. The likely case is the new generations will just marvel at the writings as similar to Harry Potter and where the stories illustrate some type of philosophy.

Maybe I am crazy or old school but I though the concept of creating component as a class with standard functions to override (and defining a contract with props types) took a unwieldy language like JS and gave a sane and standard approach to it.

I now look at more "modern" functional components /w hooks and find it VERY hard to understand the data a component takes and how it uses/responses to interactions.

It feels like react was class based... and now that functional coding is the "in thing" its trying to shoehorn everything into functional components. In the end it really turns me off to functional programming as I see many developers sacrificing readable/understandable components to save a few lines of code.
Thanks Jason, this was very helpful for me. I think I was having trouble making the mental jump from reading the code as a normal function with state vs how a component instance is called and handled by React at runtime--your example helped me make that hurdle.
I don't want to personally attack you for how you believe. I believe you ought have a right to come to your own personal conclusions.

That said the scripture you linked was started by a literal convicted con man who received revelation by looking at golden tablets that never existed in his hat and translating the truths found therein. He also famously found part of the religious text in Egyptian hieroglyphics that he "translated" into English that turns out not to match the actual text that we can now read. Because of the faiths relatively more recent vintage there is a mountain of non subjective evidence that the faith is literally built on a pile of lies by a bad person. I in particular find that your comparison to math completely baffling.

Just because I disagree emphatically with your beliefs and your founder this doesn't mean that you personally are a bad person but I believe your belief system is a huge net negative for the world and allowing you to spread it here unopposed would be net negative for the world. I don't want to shut you up but I really want other people to know the truth of what you are trying to push.

I was objecting to the statement that some apps are not relevant in those countries.
Maybe a bank could support something like Briar or Ricochet, with P2P between Tor .onion instances. With secure 2FA, using hardware tokens. I'd switch in a nanosecond.

But they'd likely never satisfy KYC rules :(

And I do see many banks starting to use WhatsApp. It'd be better if they (at least) used Signal, but it's a start.
This is really useful - bookmarked.
It's more dangerous to ride them on streets, even on bike paths. Who cares if it's illegal?

The same would apply to motorcycles. It's clearly safer for the motorcyclist to ride on the sidewalk than on the road, in the mix with cars.

Who cares if it's illegal? Pretty much everyone else.
Rough sleeping is used in Australia
How old are your kids? We've been struggling with ours wrt to screen time.
"unsheltered" is the term used in the US.
I wish we'd do this. I get in arguments with friends, usually the response is "why should they be housed if they're just gonna drink or do drugs?" "Why should there be free public restrooms? Homeless people might shoot up or have sex in them."

Well... They're drinking, shooting up, and having sex right at the bus stop, so I'd happily pay to have them do it out of sight, without even considering the fact that it's more moral to care for the downtrodden.

So much pride seems wrapped up in it. "why should I pay for someone else to be a lazy drug addict? That's MY MONEY!" It's not a solution oriented mindset. Like, they're gonna shoot up on the street where you gotta step over their needles, or in a house away from you. Seems obvious to me, even if it's more expensive.

If you're looking for a similar solution to getting the homeless out of sight without "costing tax-payer money," the only one I can think of is murdering the homeless, or maybe shipping them to an island? Obviously, insane. So how do I overcome the pride barrier in these conversations?
it's not about rentability, it's about fairness. this is a subsidy in favor of those, who pollute by car, while usually those are the people who could pay for it easily.

of course, it's possible that if a city is at the same time both relies heavily on car based tourism/shoppers and its demography is dominantly carless poor people, then in this case probably they would get more poorer by introducing a car usage fee.

peace and quiet... HK?
Well, haters take their own shares. However HK cannot make money from peace and quiet to make it sustainable.

According to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Hong_Kong#GDP[45]), Tourism is 5% of the GDP and I believe a big chunk of that is contributed by people from mainland.

Ask HN: I am a frond end developer with terrible CSS skills
As per the title, I would rate the skills in CSS as poor. This is embarrassing! I mean, sure - I understand how to do things in CSS, but sometimes (a lot of the time) I feel as though I have to brute force my way into doing simple layout. Ultimately, I would like to reach a level where I envision something in my mind and I can fluidly layout on screen.

So my question is to the CSS gurus out there - beyond W3 and MDN, have you any tips or can you recommend any CSS resources out there that have really helped take your skills to the next level ?
ISODA – TS9 Kicks Off in Doha, Qatar
Thanks. It seems part of that critique rose out of infighting in the jewish community - Frankl did not want to seek persecution and hence was labeled a traitor to the cause? It sounds like he was treated like a willfull collaborator.

Without more information I can actually relate to both sides of the argument. A person has a only one life. I can totally understand if one wants to just forget and move on.

Regarding logotherapy - lots of people have survived great loss by chasing a higher goal. For example Enrico Fermi dove into physics at a young age after he had lost his beloved brother.

Logotherapy is not philosophy, it's a treatment. It's intellectually dishonest to compare it to a political ideology.

As diagnozed with severe depression recently I can't really fault the idea of trying to find meaning in those pieces of your life that you have left.

The medical experimentation part sound nasty, though. I have no idea what to make of that.

I suppose none of the above changes my view on the subject. The book is a self help book and like all in it's genre should be read with a pinch of salt and not like some deep philosophical guide to life. It's one medicine to deal with personal loss and tragedy. People are really different in terms of what works for them.

The story in the book is still moving one. The fact that Mr. Frankl uses it to also advertize his professional services is fairly obvious, though.

> When it comes to Christianity, well, we love science.

Christian attitudes toward science vary quite strongly. The Catholic Church has an attitude generally similar to what you describe (but still gets uncomfortable with scientific inquiry on some questions clearly within the domain that is empirically explorable), other groups (particularly within, say, parts of the evangelical and fundamentalist parts of Protestantism, and the quote you respond to addressed “fundamentalist faiths” specifically) have different general attitudes (or wider or more intense areas where they are resistant to or oppose scientific examination.)
