If you remove the link to sex, then what's the difference between gender and personality? My understanding is that gender is a social construct that maps behavior onto biology... if you sever that link, then you're left with behavior. Why do we need to maintain these categories of masculinity and femininity? Why are we reifying archetypes instead of moving past them?
Oh, I was making a parallel to religion. As you may already know, even though one becomes atheist that does not necessarily mean they are no longer religious in other aspects of life (here, meditative practices).

I guess these types of vulnerabilities could be placed intentionally. It would allow certain agencies to again access via "exploit" and all the while claim they support user privacy. These companies are under pressure from governments (like the recent Australian government law to requiring access to encrypted messages). Seems like a decent solution for company and governments.
During the last two years in frontend I've learned about and considered and or used grunt, gulp, sass, Webpack Angular 1 and Angular 2+.

In hindsight maybe the most annoying part isn't just the constant churn, but also how questions about x will be answered with: you should use y instead.
The 1841 Book Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds has this amusing anecdote about Tulipomania:

People who had been absent from Holland, and whose chance it was to return when this
folly was at its maximum, were sometimes led into awkward dilemmas by their
ignorance. There is an amusing instance of the kind related in Blainville's Travels. A
wealthy merchant, who prided himself not a little on his rare tulips, received upon one
occasion a very valuable consignment of merchandise from the Levant. Intelligence of its
arrival was brought him by a sailor, who presented himself for that purpose at the
counting-house, among bales of goods of every description. The merchant, to reward him
for his news, munificently made him a present of a fine red herring for his breakfast. The
sailor had, it appears, a great partiality for onions, and seeing a bulb very like an onion
lying upon the counter of this liberal trader, and thinking it, no doubt, very much out of
its place among silks and velvets, he slily seized an opportunity and slipped it into his
pocket, as a relish for his herring. He got clear off with his prize, and proceeded to the
quay to eat his breakfast. Hardly was his back turned when the merchant missed his
valuable Semper Augustus, worth three thousand florins, or about 280 pounds sterling.
The whole establishment was instantly in an uproar; search was everywhere made for the
precious root, but it was not to be found. Great was the merchant's distress of mind. The
search was renewed, but again without success. At last some one thought of the sailor.
The unhappy merchant sprang into the street at the bare suggestion. His alarmed
household followed him. The sailor, simple soul! had not thought of concealment. He
was found quietly sitting on a coil of ropes, masticating the last morsel of his "onion."
Little did he dream that he had been eating a breakfast whose cost might have regaled a
whole ship's crew for a twelvemonth; or, as the plundered merchant himself expressed it,
"might have sumptuously feasted the Prince of Orange and the whole court of the
Stadtholder."

Honest question: I'm surprised at such a hard stance against what I perceive to be an "early adopter" product. Did you not feel that buying a Tesla was a gamble?
This seems really alien to me. When I grew up the idea was to do away with gender roles, but what you're saying seems to be pretty much the opposite of that. I guess a lot of this comes from people using the word gender, but they mean sex.

Gratitude and appreciation are different things. I can appreciate an piece of art, it doesn't mean that I am thankful/ grateful for it. There are many things you can appreciate without being grateful - infact, this is inherently the issue that gratitude is addressing, which stems from ego, self-centeredness, thoughtlessness. An easy place to fall into.

Gratitude as it's frequently been explained to me just sounds like slave-mentality shaming. There's a strong distinction between it and recognizing and accepting what you can and can't change. Genuine gratefulness isn't a bad thing in and of itself. It's not a forced emotion. Gratefulness as a mantra in practice is just guilt tripping, it informs you to feel shame for negative emotions. It's a healthy response to be upset at some circumstances. Being grateful for being dealt a bad hand is for the birds. Someone might chime in to suggest that's not what gratefulness is about - I'll save you some time, I disagree.
I think this is BS. The developer is not required to release their apps on the Apple platform. The consumers can elect not to buy Apple's product.

Now this case can proceed, then what stops consumers or sellers from suing Amazon, eBay or Google Express? They are a monopoly in their own domain.

Amazon, for example, charges 15% for sellers fulfilled for every sale. The fee is even higher if the seller elects to be filled by Amazon.

Perl6 has remedied the accidental leak of values to the caller by allowing you to give a return value in the signature.

This will ignore the last result and return Nil instead:

sub foo ( $_ --> Nil ) {…}

This only works with literals, constants and Nil.

If you specify a type instead, it only enforces that the result is of that type.

this article is about kids though. how many grown men are still wearing the same fresh pair of nikes they got at age 13? things can be handed down to younger children of course, but with the wear and tear faced by kids' shoes and clothes, I doubt many of them last much longer than the average AAA multiplayer game.
Elm ecosystem stats: 2019 update – Korban.net
While that is correct, the article suggests the market is seeing reduced demand as utility companies increasingly turn to gas-fired generation and renewable energy for electricity.

For such a large coal producer to be struggling with that lower demand (and hence the lower price) suggests most of the sector will also be struggling with those adverse market forces.
> You inserted the concept of spirituality in an attempt to take some kind of stance; that was never present.

Incorrect. Gratitude, along with other meditative practices, is a spiritual notion.

> You fabricated that

Fabricated what exactly? Quote the exact words I wrote.

> then complained when you were downvoted for being obtuse,

If what I wrote was obtuse, the intelligent response is to ask for clarification instead of emotionally lashing out onto me with downvotes, sarcasm and projections.

> and you keep complaining about lack of intelligent discourse

Indeed. Just for one example, where is intelligent discourse in your comment? Do you have anything to say directly in response to what I actually wrote? Instead you are just trying in vain to intuit what "stance" I take.

> while ignorantly hammering at a point that doesn't exist here.

What point is it that I am "ignorantly hammering"?
Could you please share tips on how you opted out of arbitration? I’m waiting for my M3 to be delivered, and would like to understand the pros and cons. I’m in CA, US if that matters.
I just built a simple webapp at work and found that most of what I used JQuery for (cross-browser functionality) was already built into the modern browsers. I'm sure if I had to do something more complex or handle more than the handful of event handlers I wrote I'd reach for more than just plain JS, but shrug. It worked for me.
I think traditional car manufacturers just don't advance the state of the art in screens and other in other in-car electronics at a pace fast enough. They are content with shitty 7 inch screens with faded colors, since their supplier told them this is the best that can be done. You need someone like tesla to force screen suppliers to catch up to the best screens, do the required testing and make the best screens capable of withstanding heat and shock. It's the same with the concept of an electric car and the concept of self driving.
I'm not sure there is one, but the fact that something is the least bad option available doesn't make it not bad.
Of course it's anecdotal evidence, but I listened to a podcast a while ago (don't remember which one) that invited a government clerk that helped people find retraining programs. According to her, her department has so few people applying that they would accept literally any request for training - even if it had nothing to do with what the funds were allocated for (in this case retraining from coal to solar). According to her, a big part of the problem is you have people in (usually small) towns whose parents lived their entire lives working coal, and think that the only way to be a man is to work it too.
Ask HN: Giving up a mostly stable job for employment at a VC-backed company
Looking for advice and gotchas. I'm currently happily employed with a company that has a questionable outlook after 5 years. One owner is retiring and I don't feel the other owner is capable of running the business effectively.

I've recently been offered a position with equity in a VC-backed ISP that will eventually require me to relocate my entire family. I have never worked in this "fast-money" environment and would like some suggestions on land mines and surprises to avoid, particularly in relation to the equity in the company and the ways it can be diluted/diminished by future funding rounds.
>All my life I've thought spyware was developed primarily by evil Russian and Chinese hackers.

You've led a very sheltered life if you think the Russians and the Chinese have been more evil than the Americans or the Israelis. I suggest reading history - a lot of it. When it comes to governments there are no good guys, only bad guys.
I'm not suggesting to cover the entire asteroid belt, only a tiny fraction - still more than enough room.
I'd actually be really interested to know what causes discrepancies in subject matter authorship in Wikipedia.

Physics, for example, is rife with very thorough articles, many of which are written for a graduate level. (Not everything is right everywhere, but a surprising amount for the volume.) Lots and lots of thoroughly explained equations.

Computer science is also very well documented, with numerous examples.

Materials science is very poor though, and with biology it seems to depend. Evolutionary theory seems popular but detailed taxonomy entries do not.

I'm curious why this is. Do professionals or enthusiasts in different fields really have such gaps in their willingness to contribute? In computer science, open source software could provide some prior art to convince people that Wikipedia is worth contributing to, but what about the rest?
I know HN likes to pretend that it holds things to a higher standard, but in the past I've seen censorship rates of up to 50% on similar threads. (That is, such a thread might show that it has 100 comments, but only 50 are still viewable. And not greyed-out, but just plain old gone.) Which is at least somewhat better than Reddit, where I've seen censorship rates of up to 90%.

React Native Full Width Horizontal ScrollView
But some of us do work on front-end applications where even modern frameworks are scrutinized. I've started to dream of a maintainable application with no runtime on top of the browser itself (no vDOM)

IMO frameworks nowadays don't give you much more than a rope to hang yourself with, it's up to developers to recognize this. But some applications do need these patterns in order to build front-end applications with dozens of developers on the same team. The unfortunate reality is that too many people think they need use the same tech for a landing page; and too few people with front-end skills seem capable of profiling (in Chrome! nevermind trying to figure out where your GC pressure is coming from in IE11)

But this article is pretty boring. I can think of some concerns that the applications I work on need solved:

* Maintainable (TypeScript helps a ton with this)

* Stylizable/Themable (emotion/JSS, etc.; pick your poison)

* Reusable (presentational components in React; I imagine Vue could work for us as well)

* Asynchronous, reacting to events from user input/websocket/timers/local+remote storage appropriately

* Accessible via keyboard
It wouldn't even matter if Huawei doesn’t and has never used their position in infrastructure to conduct spying or surveillance. The very fact that they’re entirely reliant on the Chinese government makes them (and any of their employees on an individual level) vulnerable to Chinese policy needs, now or in the future.

I love the Indie Hackers community and mission of the site, but I can't understand why on earth the site is so JavaScript heavy.

Almost everything on that site could be server side and there is no need for a loading screen that takes 2+ seconds to load!

Again, love what they've done, love the community, don't understand the tech choice.

https://www.indiehackers.com

Edit: I think javascript and dynamic stuff is great to use where it really speeds things up like a comment popup etc. I think of it like seasoning. Use it sparingly to make a site really great in the places that a full page reload would be a bad experience.
It's not a decent solution, because it doesn't take much to find these vulnerabilities, just a matter of time.
I’ve played the game at a relatively decent level, and the general idea is “defaults” tend to be easier opponents. Of course, most people and specifically kids don’t want to be looked down upon, which leads to the phenomenon mentioned in the article.

Fortnite is special in that skins are very prominent from the so called “defaults”, thus someone with skins show that they have clearly invested in the game and therefore (on average) are better players. In other games like Apex Legends (another Battle Royals), the skins aren’t as obvious or are much subtler recolors and slight changes from the base model.
I agree. They're supposed to have worked on both in the Hololens 2, but I haven't gotten a chance to try the latest iteration yet.

Well since we're playing the false dichotomy game I'd gladly take prosperity with a side of lung cancer over cancer free stagnation.
A car with any kind of touchscreen for anything but non-essential functions is a huge red flag for me. Because of the mandate for backup cameras, and the dash space that the display for those takes up, I think I'm going to have to stick to pre-2018 model years for as long as they let me.

I think it is incredibly unsafe that things like heat and radio controls have been shifted to non-tactile touch inputs, rather than analog buttons and knobs. But I am an old fogey that keeps at least one hand on the wheel and my eyes on the road.
As far as I know, typically message buses reply semantics are only acknowledgement that they've received the data. That's the way that Kafka and AWS Kinesis and Azure EventHubs work, though I'm not familiar with other message buses. You'll note that almost all architectural diagrams for these message buses, along with the article linked in this thread, show a one-way data flow in/out of a message bus.

Do you know of any message buses that have more complicated reply semantics? I'm thinking maybe the javascript world is calling things message buses that the big data / distributed systems world wouldn't think are message buses

The "Samson Option" is a conspiracy theory that if Israel is ever at the brink of destruction it will nuke Europe and America. It is a conspiracy theory based on the ramblings of one Israeli historian and one American author.

Israel has nuclear weapons and its MAD policies are probably the same as other nuclear powers.

It's funny because Putin has actually said that Russia will end up destroying the entire world in retaliation if Russia is ever attacked with nuclear weapons. But for some reason you don't see this quote get the same attention as the "Samson Option".

‘Why would we want a world without Russia?'

Days later, he reiterated his stance, implying that nuclear war — a “disaster for the entire world” — would be a response to a major attack against Russia: “as a citizen of Russia and the head of the Russian state, I must ask myself: ‘Why would we want a world without Russia?'”

‘Why would we want a world without Russia?'

This is awesome! Thanks for linking it.
The industry calls this a "bug-door" and yes, plausible deniability is key. Most of this has been hypothetical possibility. This case does not fit that bill though as the vendor discovered it was being used by another country, prevented the exploit against a user, fixed it, and alerted the authorities. Would be more peculiar if it was a US-based company selling the spyware.
Sympathetic, but as long as lisp requires one to write math as function composition it won't catch on with computational types. Of course, I imagine that sort of thing could be a set of macros away...then that would be awesome, familiar infix mathematical expressions with common lisp in the rest of the code.
No mention of .inputrc? An explanation of the kill ring would be nice.

Readline is great but I've been running into something that's driven me nuts for a few weeks now. I recently switched to editing-mode=vi and it seems to have changed the behavior of unix-word-rubout(normally ctrl-w). In emacs mode, unix-word-rubout seems to append to the kill ring. In vi mode, it only replaces it. So in emacs mode, I can eat several words with 'ctrl-w' and paste them with 'ctrl-y'. In vi mode(after setting up the mappings), 'ctrl-y' only pastes the last rubbed-out word.
But what's untouched by religion? Veganism, fasting, wearing hats, wearing pants, not wearing pants, underwear, appreciating trees, eating bread, drinking wine, not drinking wine, eating fruit.... Religion has commented on every aspect of human life, because some humans do religion.

I am reminded of the rather dismissive aphorism: "Show me an atheist and I'll show you the God he doesn't believe in."
I thought this was a pretty well known practice.

From my (admittedly limited) understanding, they would trespass on peoples farms and test their crops to see if they had any features similar to their GMO seed products (which could be present just due to the fact that your neighbors' farms use Monsanto seed, and pollen isn't exactly easy to control). According to the report cited in the article "Monsanto brought some 142 patent infringement suits against 410 farmers and 56 small businesses in more than 27 states." I'm sure some of that may be valid patent protection, but it's hard to defend yourself when a company as large as Monsanto decides it wants to challenge you in the legal system, and I'm not inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt.
There was even a plan from one of the 2016 Presidential candidates that could be a good starting point for helping them [1].

> Could you elaborate on how you would approach getting to the root cause of the resentment? And then once you have identified the cause, how would you go about dislodging that?

Sincerity as to what you are feeling each moment is the first step towards it.

If you are actively denying or dissociating (i.e., meditation), you won't get to understand how it all works. Resentment, or any other affective issue, is to be curiously explored with awareness and attentiveness (what are the emotions involved? what are the beliefs? why do I feel this way? how does this feeling operate? etc). Once you have fully explored something -- and this is where dogged determination comes into play -- there comes a point where that issues vanishes like dropping hot coal. Not unlike ceasing to believe in Santa Claus.

It does take time and persistence in the beginning.
The swing of the article "Look we told you so" really rubs me the wrong way. But it seems to represent the view of a large part of the Automotive industry. Instead of driving innovation forward, they shy away of the problems that introducing such innovation could have. Instead it seems the industry relies on shaming innovators for the issues of first generation future tech. This reminds me a lot of Steve Ballmer mocking the first iPhone: https://youtu.be/eywi0h_Y5_U

The most likely outcome is that they will figure it out, and much earlier than any of their competitors.
Did you find the filters? You have to hold down on your face when the selfie camera is activated. It's on my LG G7, which basically nobody uses, so I doubt they only targeted certain phones (unless they block generic criteria like less than 2 GB ram or something).
Honestly everyone needs to chill out. The markets on Friday and today are extremely negative and volatile in general. This was a very tough week to IPO. Market negativity or positivity is amplified with freshly listed stocks. We won't really know what the market thinks of Uber for a few months at least.
