That's true, I rationalize Diablo like stuff as total fantasy unless one gets into PvP without magic items/skills tree and I was trying to emphasize context by showing a very low pixel and stylized animation and some vocals can make me feel very bad about the ethics of what actions we were portraying.
Yes, but we should also acknowledge the upside. Soon (or now) a single entity can benefit/innovate for the entire planet at a reasonable cost. What could go right?
People interested in this should really check out TaloySeries.jl. It's a pretty awesome tool for playing around with a lot of calculus concepts in Julia.

I believe this is acceptable English now. At least it's often been seen in the wild lately (last few years), and I for one find it quite expressive.
Agree, it's a good thing. I wasn't implying otherwise. I was just replying to OP's contention that their was more "OSS Unix" desktop users than WSL/ChromeOS users. I guess OP meant OS X by "OSS Unix" though.
I am curious: why are police reports confidential? Of course they could be very damning to a large number of people if they were public but I am wondering why they are not public records searchable in a database? What is required to make them public? Are they just available for trial after what I presume is a subpoena or some form of discovery?
To my own experience, I think the time an adult can physiologically commit to learning is reduced.

For example, I noticed that in high school if I really liked a subject I would just sponge it all up, no need for spaced repetition and I could be focused for hours.

In college, I started to feel the need for spaced repetitions but yet be focused for hours.

Now, if I get to do something I really enjoy intellectually, I can get 30-45 minutes of focus. Then rest and spaced repetition. Last time I tried to push 3 hours of study, I not just forget most of the content but it affected my mood so badly.

Somewhat, I see the same pattern with physical activities. I could run have hard workouts back to back in high school while now it is so easy to overtrain and rock my hormones that I need to be really careful.
From expression of meta thoughts, capturing concepts, iteration of feelings to aesthetics and story telling through the strokes of brush... If I am not mistaken, where art is going? Is it okay or something not right as junk food?
Hi, we are artist and country agnostic now. We have artists from China, but also India and the rest of the world and have been ramping up USA artist signups recently. Of available artists (whether on our platform or elsewhere) Chinese ones are still the largest group of any country.

We display the country location of every artist profile on our site and heavily try to promote our US base.

>This is wildly untrue and outrageously offensive. Do you really think this? What evidence do you have for this?

This is wildly true, and 100% not offensive.

I've talked to such people, I'm in a country with actual historical scars and full of people that went through extreme hardships, I've interviewed dozens of them people, I've read tons of historical accounts, interviews, and so on.

>Today's youth are experiencing their own valid forms of discrimination, hate and violence fed by trolls and you are no judge of their pain

Well, I can be the judge of their pain (it's a free universe), and I can tell you that their pain of "discrimination, hate, and violence caused by trolls" is nothing compared to war, civil war, dictatorship, genocide, torture, and so on (all of which experienced numerous times in the last 100 years in my country).

It's a sad state of affairs that this has to even be spelt out, or that people think someone being called names by online trolls, or harassed at school for being X, or whatever, is as serious and as important as those kinds of events.
Just to say you're not completely right. the mali empire existed back then.
I'd been looking for a simple catch up script, but all I've been able to find are really old Python scripts that either don't work with "new" Reddit, or only work for Python 2.7, so after trying to get a few of those to work and constantly hitting API or Python3 differences, I figured I might as well just crank out a simple script using Node.js instead (mostly because I wanted to keep dependencies local, which for Python basically means writing a pipenv based project, which makes things super unfun for the casual "I just want to catch up on my images~" users).

It works well enough, to the point where I can just have it run as a cron job every hour and have another util watch its download dir, to move pictures to the dir that my digital picture frame (which is just a monitor and a raspi running "whatever runs feh") loads content from. So maybe others on HN might find this useful, too.

> Crying about this or that opinion being published,

I have absolutely never once in my life seen someone cry over an opinion being published. I have, however, seen hundreds of people complain about others 'crying', or 'literally shaking' but I have never seen it once happen and I have been looking. I honestly think such people do not exist. Can you cite any? This is surely not the cultural phenomenon you make it out to be.

> Plus, the "children in cages" has been going on since forever one way or another.

Something happening in the past does not make it okay to happen today. Are you suggesting that nobody should protest children being put in cages, simply because it has happened before? I don't understand. Since it has happened before, and it's awful, and it's happening again right now, don't you think we should stand up and stay that it should be stopped?

> Even the Wall is nothing new, there has been a wall, beatings, and killings at the border well before Trump.

Again, just because something isn't new doesn't have any bearing on it being bad or not. In fact I think it emphasizes how important these issues are. They persist and we must fight against them fully.

> Now it's just fashionable to speak against it (because Trump), whereas under Obama 2 million could be deported and it was OK (and it didn't involve as many children imprisoned, so late night talk shows didn't feel the need to cover it)

What are you talking about? Putting children in cages, family removals, etc of legal immigrants is completely different from deportations of illegal immigrants.

Are you suggesting nobody should speak out against these atrocities or try to avoid them happening in the first place, simply because they have happened before? I don't get it.

> There are "children in cages" all over Europe, in camps for immigrants (where they're not allowed to leave)

That sounds awful. Everyone should be protesting this everywhere. Everyone should aim to avoid the circumstances that allow this to happen: chief among them is trolling.
I forgot where I read it, but from Microsoft's analytics it was found that majority of crashes were result of a driver bug (often) in the Graphics stack which was a decision driver for them to move the graphics stack into the userspace. The drivers still do have a kernel mode component but it is much smaller than it was in the XP days and the results show how (relatively) stable things have gotten since.
My high school calculus teacher was the football coach.
Can't wait for those bugs caused by autocorrect.
Yeah. but you should be honest about your skills and not bullcrap your way into being the chef in charge of preparing the pufferfish main course. That is a very deadly disaster.

By all means learn to code and make programs for yourself. No issue in occasionally helping other projects or programs or doing some small scale work. But don't try to directly jump into big things before getting trained correctly.

Some people are missing a leg and can’t do snowboarding. But that’s not my understanding of what the previous comment was talking about.

Terry Tao is comparable to an Olympic athlete w/r/t preparation and focus. He has spent a dramatically larger proportion of his waking hours doing serious mathematics preparation than any non-mathematician alive, with mentoring from world-class experts. It is very hard to judge the relative “speed of improvement” vs. a person failing a poorly taught remedial algebra course in college (or whatever).
How do you cut your service boundaries?
Passenger EVs by nature of their bigger forward crumple zones, should be safer than an ICE passenger vehicle. Tesla Model 3 is particularly safe when it comes to forward collision and rollover. They've also done as good a job as anyone with side-impact and things like partially overlapping front impact [1]. So it adds up to substantiating the "safest" claim in terms of protecting you during an accident.

Obviously it's better to avoid an accident entirely. As of last year Tesla drivers had traveled more than 1 billion miles under AutoPilot. Miles driven by AutoPilot continue to be significantly safer than non-AutoPilot miles [2] but the miles are not directly comparable (e.g. highway vs non-highway). An increasing number of my non-highway miles are driven on AutoPilot now though, as the system continues to improve. Tesla recently (as in two weeks ago) introduced additional active safety measures for accident avoidance [3], and there is even a recent video of AutoPilot avoiding a bunny in the road [4].

As far as the screen, maybe it's personal taste. I can tell you I love the touch-screen and I love how it is located in the car. I particularly enjoy that there's no screen right in front of me behind the steering wheel. I commented upthread that the feeling of driving, particular at night, with nothing but the road directly in front of you is almost surreal.

All the most common functions (blinker, wiper, volume, cruise speed, skip track, voice command) are hard-wired, so there's never a need to take your hand off the wheel. To make more fine-grained adjustments (which I find you practically never need to do) the touch screen is so responsive I can do as fast as with a button or dial.

Nothing like having a bit of Mai-Lai re-enactment thrown in.

I don't understand what you said. I also don't understand what children have to do with this and how they relate in any way to the amount of sex one may have beyond "once or twice".

If anything, our evolutionary history indicates a promiscuous lifestyle with everyone having sex with everyone else and post-spermatic competition.
Of course; this existed mostly in propaganda, but so does the grand-n-parent's claim that not caring about other people is related to USSR.

Having being born and lived in a post-Soviet state, and having still living family remembering these times, after many conversations with them I conclude that humans are humans, and there's no specific extra level to selfishness (or selflessness) that's specific to the Soviets.

Yes, and from experience when South Asian people (especially women) get to experience this free-agency dating thing we have in Europe and America they suddenly become very reluctant to switch back to their arranged spouse. Strange how these things go.

The pain the trolls are creating is directly causing war, discrimination, dictatorship, genocide. And regardless, there is no need to obsess over who "had it worse" or whatever.

Young people today are speaking out and trying to avoid the direct causes of the horrible genocides that happen when hate speech is left unregulated. They are not 'snowflakes'. They are trying to avoid genocide and war.

Your seeming inability to understand that youth are interested in improving the world through empathy and understanding and peaceful conversation, and your insistence that youth are 'snowflakes', and your dedication to refusing to understand the grander issues of trolling at scale, really makes you seem like a snowflake yourself. Just saying.
Just a thought:

If in your example your usergroup and user are managed by the same service, then usually you should already have a feature in your framework that parses `/user/123` into its individual component and finds the relevant entity.

Ideally you would use that.
Personally I didn't read this article as "this is outrageous and should be censored". I think it's more on the line of "we never thought about this kind of stuff, but this happens to people who have to watch gore on a day-to-day basis". Much like the articles on Facebook's content reviewers.

Edit: I previously wrote something here that was meant for another comment, sorry.
Me too, as do many others.
quelle surprise!

Most of these programs are a joke. I remember when Tech Square Labs in Atlanta did a program to "help" inner city black kids. I went down to talk to them and get more information. For one year of this program they were charging the sponsors $57K. That is more than the tuition at many private schools. But it gets better. They had The Iron Yard (which is now closed) doing the course material so I had a chat with the people teaching the courses etc.. It was very apparent they had no idea what they were doing. The supposedly "disadvantaged" founders of this did not even understand the kinds of things they kids in the program actually were going through, such as having a lack of financial literacy or even a bank account at times. I'm white but live in a disadvantaged neighborhood and knew this because I don't live in the rich bubble that these "disadvantaged" founders did.

When the political climate was right they were bilking the tax payers for this program with funding from the city of Atlanta, the feds etc., but after 2016 the funding went away, as did the founders profits. There have been many programs like this one in Atlanta and the one for the people in Appalachia.

I'm all for bringing people who do have the aptitude to the industry. That said, not everybody has the aptitude to be a developer, in the same way that not everybody has the aptitude to be a prize winning author, language guru, doctor, top athlete etc.. We all have our strengths and weaknesses. The coding bootcamp industrial complex appears to be a movement of grifters from a non tech background trying to make a quick buck and flood the market with cheap labor. In the end most of the students were poorer than they would have been in an accredited program, without training that would actually get them a job and as an industry we've had to deal with the fallout from it.

I'm saying all of this as someone who actively supports one of these, but the one I support is run by computer science majors, who grew up poor, have made enormous personal sacrifices to run the program and targets people who truly have no option to go to the university and do it for far less than what the grifter orgs were doing it for.

Truth be told, "learn to code" is not the way to economic prosperity. Paying livable wages for things is, irregardless of the country etc..
Wow... that's the single, most impressive thing I've seen supporting the use of Bing over Google...
As a PE student, I have only taken large classes where the teachers barely gave any attention. I did, however, take an undergraduate honors seminar where there were seven self-selected students all of whom were there voluntarily and who got individual attention from the professor.

So I think both sorts of dynamics exist in the university (though formal HS probably does little to no "coaching" type activity and math stars coach each other in high school math teams).

I don't think very many folks who were herded into the PE classes I've taken learned that much and everyone in the honors undergraduate seminar learned a lot. I can't prove that anyone who wants to can learn strong math but I don't think the results of a typical mass-level math class proves much about this either way. (I too, have taught your typical average crappy undergraduate math class).
You should just know that this makes zero sense to most of us. Either that's because it makes no sense, or you can't explain it well, or we're all too stupid to get it. Either way, good luck with that "standard".
I think I was more disturbed by the news on TV when I was a kid, which was long before even remotely realistic games started appearing. There are so many depictions of violence in everyday life be it video games, the news, movies, music, and even art. I wonder if they had the same conversations back in the day, e.g. battle of 1066 etc, etc.
Not really related to Dropwizard but... this:

> mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=io.dropwizard.archetypes -DarchetypeArtifactId=java-simple -DarchetypeVersion=[REPLACE WITH A VALID DROPWIZARD VERSION]

Why is it that everytime I read something about Java I have a feeling it was not meant for humans ? Not as bad as C++ projects setup though, I'll give it that.
Company training used to be very common, but now they just want to whine about how people don't step out of school as senior developers.
I think highly stylized violence like the one seen in MK and hyper realistic violence like The Last Of Us (2) are worlds apart.

Just the trailers for the last of us were enough to leave me extremely unsettled.
> In Jimmy’s case, though, I simply cannot fathom how Instagram made this connection... and so I’ve written Jimmy’s case off as a mystery that will remain unsolved

Is it really that mysterious? The connection could have been made in the other direction. For example, Jimmy could have had the author's email address in his contact list and allowed access to his contact list to some web site? Jimmy could have searched for the authors name on Instagram (not sure - I'm not a user) at some point?
Meh. I watched the trailer, it seemed desperate for attention.

When the first two or three MK games came out they were indeed a big part of a culture of its time, being both controversial and a kind of (trashy, commercial) statement against the puritanical/hypocritical mores of the time. The limits of videogames as media were being tested. That side of the controversy won.

Nowadays? Meh. They dialed up the stupid gore in an attempt to remain relevant. Nobody cares. I only hear about Mortal Kombat once in a while when someone writes some piece about its violence when a new game comes out. A couple of weeks later they are selling it at some budget price. Nobody cares anymore. Never heard from anyone I know actually playing the new games. Who knows what were the innovations in Mortal Kombat 8? Me neither.
Ok, I see what you mean. Let me try explaining this a different way. The site guidelines ask you not to call names in comments. Your comment was full of name-calling, in the sense that they use the term. Could you please review them and take the spirit of this site more to heart?

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

A comment like that one encourages the worst in others, and we're trying to avoid sinking into a downward spiral here. Downward spirals are the default outcome on the internet, so avoiding them takes energy. We need everyone to contribute.

Here's another way to look at this. Name-calling adds noise to a comment (and encourages others to add still more noise), which lowers the signal/noise ratio. As the signal/noise ratio gets lower, a community like HN deteriorates. This process happens faster than linearly: thoughtful users leave because of the noise, causing the posts to get even worse, driving even more thoughtful users away. That would be a scorched-earth outcome, i.e. an extinction event for HN. Our job is to avoid that.

A much better way to post would be to raise the signal/noise ratio. "Signal" here means adding new information, information we can learn from. In the case of your comment, that would mean pointing out more clearly, in more detail and more neutrally, the flaws you see in the article. If you can't or don't want to do that, or you just think the article is so bad it doesn't deserve the effort, then please don't post to the thread at all—instead, flag the article as one that you think doesn't belong on HN, and move on. There's a karma threshold of 30 before you get to flag, but it should only take a few good submissions or comments to get there.
Conversely I don’t see how they can’t be returned to the sky. Boeing has deep pockets and the US government will push behind the scenes to make sure it happens, regardless of whatever public statements they make. There is no way regulators will be able to keep this plane grounded simply on the ground of politics.
Decentralized Ponzi scheme.

Most Ponzi schemes end when the people at the center of it cash out and disappear or go to jail, and that's the end of things.

Bitcoin has created the infrastructure to allow new people to take over when the old people cash out or go to jail.
What does current law have to do with it? Works for hire are generally copyrighted by the hirer, and copyrights can be transferred by contract.
Correct but missing the point. Passport on your person is a small and easy precaution for tons of unknown unknowns while travelling. A plane crash being one of them.
As long as the FCC interprets statute to not consider signed transactions as encryption (which is a possible outcome).
Kind of agree. It is further cementing the idea that Linux for the Desktop is not going to ever really be a thing-- however it does serve to reinforce the idea that Linux is and will continue to be the undisputed King of the cloud and internet. Just the fact that MS is putting so much effort, dollars and resources into the Linux ecosystem buttresses this idea.
The more I look at my medical bills, the more I think it's all about widely-distributed greed.

This a million times. It's a complete racket and everyone, from top to bottom is in on it. That is the new American Way. It's the decade of corporate greed at the expense of the 99%.
Unfortunately in America people are heavily, heavily resistant to changing the model of education, and I say this as a teacher. You have parents who say they hate math and hated their math classes but will also get very angry when you try to teach their child in a different way than they were taught. Even suggestions like “maybe we could still have a rigid bell schedule but just turn off the very annoying, physical bells” is considered too radical.

I do understand some of it. Parents are very worried about their child’s future and economic anxiety of their child being “left behind” so they would rather go with a model that they know. The problem is the model they know doesn’t work well or at all for many, if not most kids. They worry about their children not learning under an alternative mode when the current model already drives them to playing Fortnite in their phone all day during class.
That's a good approach. I think it would be worth including that information on the FAQ page - transparency builds trust and such issues are more important in a global marketplace.

As an amateur painter myself it's nice to see this equitable approach which also leaves room for each artist to maintain an individual style. Well done!
