And the energy produced by the plant goes where and does what? Are you sure it's not related to food production?

For example, the Haber-Bosch process burns natural gas (3 percent of the world's production) and releases loads of carbon (3 percent of the world's carbon emissions). That process is used to produce ammonia, which goes into fertilizer production, which is used to fertilize fields to produce crops. As a result, more than half of the nitrogen in our bodies was fixed using the Haber-Bosch process. And that process, by releasing CO2, does definitely contribute to climate change.

Tracking time spent on various tasks can be useful (if not required, eg. for claiming R&D grants). But I feel like tracking time in office/time at desk is a different beast.

Happy employees, at a certain level of knowledge work, have a degree of autonomy.

Unhappy employees who could otherwise be happy employees are a waste of potential and money.

Having a clock on/clock off and a 9-5 butts-in-seats management style and incentive structure reduces perceived autonomy.
But there are so many counterexamples to that too. I worked on a project following CI practices with a release every two weeks, and I can think of plenty of examples where we developed a feature, tested it with users, and scrapped it within a month. That team leaned toward strict practices, and we wasted so much time on code review and documentation of small details which only existed for a couple of weeks.

I also thing it is vastly overstated how difficult it is to incrementally refactor a project which is "fucked". It's always possible to break it into smaller pieces, and gradually improve the codebase until it is manageable and easy to work with.

I'm actually investigating getting some skills on react native, but i've got the suspicion it isn't all sunshine and rainbows. From what i've seen so far, a real-world stack has many more dependencies other that react native itself, and becomes a convoluted mess.

However, i'm surprised that i haven't found a similar post to OP detailing real-world React Native pain points.

Do you have more info ?

What’s wrong with hosting a manifesto? It should be blindingly obvious: when they spread extremism and terrorism like a virus, there’s plenty wrong.

It might make the tiniest bit of sense if we were collectively able to do something preventative about mass murders before they happened by using that “insight”. That certainly does not seem to be happening.

No, I think the time is coming where white supremacist manifestos and the like should be actively stamped out by society.
I didn't work for HP and have never seen a flash Jornada 720. I think they were just manufactured with Intel StrataFlash on the main board instead of mask ROM.

The early iPAQ models had Windows CE in flash, so you could easily overwrite it. Back then NetBSD didn't have a flash filesystem so NetBSD/hpcarm just booted from WinCE and ran in RAM.

The handhelds.org distribution was a DEC/Compaq/HP project that initially targeted their Itsy [1] device, then added support for their commercial products as they were released. Later they allowed external contributions too. They build an iPAQ sleeve that contained accelerometers to be able to carry on the UI development from the Itsy, you scrolled the screen by tilting the device. Their Linux kernel did have a fair bit of power management built in.

Made worse by the Supermarkets, who still insist on "nicely shaped" produce and farmers then have to landfill the "ugly" produce. One UK Supermarket is proudly advertising its "Wonky Veg" initiative, but then the idiots are then wrapping them up in apparently non-recyclable plastic. These people are IDIOTS and do not represent me as a consumer.
Reductionism just doesn't work as long as constant growth is a requirement of our economic systems. It just doesn't go hand in hand. We will also never use less energy than we are using today, so we better improve energy production.

Doesn't mean we should skip engineering energy efficient devices. That is just an additional requirement.
On the contrary the best works were made by 1, max. 2 people. A team helps with testing or docs, but not much else.

Thanks for sharing, that was interesting to read
One writes in a hierarchical data structure: s-expressions. Since Lisp has built-in macro expressions, on top of s-expressions, one can represent code independent from 'ASTs' and make it executable:

For example the LOOP macro introduces a non-prefix syntax:

(loop
for i below 100
for j = (random 100)

sum j into s

while (< s 1000)

finally (return i))

This is actually pretty powerful and high-level (the user being able to extend or change the syntax in complex ways in portions of a program). The LOOP implementation as a macro is actually an integrated sublanguage and the user can add arbitrary (and even extensible) complex macros like that...

Generally Lisp is low to mid level as a programming language, with a bunch of features which can be considered high-level: extensive macro system, Common Lisp Object System, extensive error handling, ...

We know people reuse passwords. This is a non-negotiable threat model for any user-facing system. Given this, one should make password-decryption as hard as possible. MD5 is just not good enough by any standard, in 2019.
IMO writing good filters can be pretty hard. I literally spent what must've been an entire hour on updating just 1 Gmail filter today. All going through my mailbox cross-checking to make sure it would mark exactly what was needed, no more, no less.

(It'd have been a lot easier if I was more tolerating of errors, but the entire reason I was updating it was to eliminate errors that had started getting annoying. And I'm guessing errors are one reason why some people don't use filters.)
Likewise jobs like computer programming seem pretty 'robot-proof'.

Depends on how you look at it. I see programming as the single most automation-friendly job there is. Even if all you do is add a few lines to your Makefile to run the test suite when you type 'make test', you're still automating a repetitive task you'd otherwise do by hand.

Looking at the bigger picture: programmers are constantly developing new programming languages, libraries, text editor plugins, build tools, deployment tools, continuous integration servers, SCM tools... These things are all designed to save programmers time and if we are successful it means we're increasing our productivity, which should mean we don't need to hire more programmers to do the same job otherwise.

Maybe the last point seems hard to accept in light of the fact that there are more working programmers than ever. Just try to imagine what it would be like to build an app like Uber if you still had to write code on punch cards and batch-feed them into a giant single-tasking computer.
Yeah the farther I have gotten in my career, the more I ascribe to a disposable code philosophy. Of course it doesn't mean that it's a balance, and there's a time and a place for structure and thinking about design, but that is almost always done better when you have a working prototype than when you're starting something from scratch.

I'd definitely support companies taking a stance against such statements, but it also shouldn't be a crime IMHO.

Facts:

- The meat over-production has a major impact on greenhouse gas emissions

- Humans naturally didn't eat the amounts of meat which we consume today

- Humans don't need to eat large quantities of meat for any health of fitness reasons

- Eating large amounts of meat increase the chances of certain cancers

Therefore, given that there is nothing natural about eating meat at the current levels and given that there is no health benefit of eating this much meat and even has some negative impact and given that the meat production is contributing to the demise of our planet, it's only logical to drastically reduce our meat consumption. Laws need to be drafted. Taxes on meat need to be risen, etc.

All those fatsoes which claim they couldn't live without meat should be treated like smokers: a dying breed of humans inflexible of understanding the above logic. There's always going to be some fat guy who thinks that eating McDonals burgers every day is normal, but the reality is that it's not and one day these people will be dead and new generations will have grown up in a world where it's normal to eat more veg & fruit and will think "how weird is it that people once ate an entire cow just for breakfast", just like kids today think "how weird is it that someone was allowed to light up a cigarette on an airplane where the smoke is affecting everyone around them and where open fire is generally considered a risk".
Taking care of parents without hurting them is very easy. The bigger problem is whether they can take care of them at all.

Also the real threat of automation is wealth inequality. If workers own (a share of) the robots that replace their jobs then there is no problem. If all the robots are owned by corporations there is a massive problem.
Does anyone have any good links to how the trade war is affecting the Chinese economy and population?

There is also a possibility that your predictions about the future turn out to be wrong.

It's definitely a balancing act.

One extreme is always going for the instant gratification, paying no attention to how things fit into the overall design.

The other extreme is trying to design everything up front with no feedback and getting more and more divorced from the practical reality as time without implementation goes on.

Yes, it's possible, but at what cost? E.g. long hours, unhappy devs, implementation taking too long.
Nah, the reason it's committal in France in non-committal in America is because France is much more of a homogeneous culture than America.

Having one meaning for a single phrase is much easier when you know exactly how your words are going to be perceived.

Trying to say shallow in this situation is more of a case that you, as a French person - don't really want to accept the fact that other cultures may have a different opinion on why they are acting the way they are acting.
>> Why this particular research direction?

The work I described falls under the category of Inductive Logic Programming,
a field at the intersection of machine learning and logic programming. In ILP
(as in logic programming) it's typical to restrict the expressivity of
first-order languages to improve efficiency and to guarantee termination.

Such restrictions often apply primarily to theoretical results, while in practice
there is more freedom. For example, my group's algorithms can learn normal
programs in practice, but our theoretical results only guarantee termination
(and so, learnability) of definite datalog programs.

In general, it takes a lot of work to find a representation language that is
expressive enough to allow learing of interesting and useful programs, and at
the same time, restricted enough to guarantee those programs _can_ be learned.

>> The space of hypotheses doubles in size when negation as failure is allowed,
which improves the efficiency of the search for hypotheses

I'm sorry if this was confusing. I meant that restricting hypotheses to
definite programs improves efficiency compared to allowing normal programs
(with negation as failure). The reason is that, if negation as failure is
allowed, in the worst case, an algorithm must consider both a literal and its
negation for inclusion in a clause, which doubles the cost of search for a
hypothesis.
These look interesting, Thank you!

In a sense that already happened with the web stack. In tech like Electron developers write most of their app once and use a “shell” like Electron to interact with the host OS.

Unfortunately the web stack is very bloated with years of legacy and this requires these shell projects to embed a full browser engine making these apps bloated as well.

Flutter is an approach at making a new shell that provides rendering and host OS interaction without all the web bloat.

Agreed! We had quite a few false starts on HN before getting any traction.
So trying to parse this out as a non-economist:

- first order effect: Yuan gets cheaper, meaning non-Chinese can buy more Yuan per dollar or unit of their currency

- second order effect: non-Chinese can buy more units of Chinese goods, making Chinese exports more competitive.

- second order effect: Chinese can buy less non-chinese goods per Yuan, weakening the ability of China to import items, but potentially strengthening the domestic market.

I imagine this will also create some amount of inflation.

An interesting technicality is that Chinese currency trades in two separate, mainly correlated markets. The onshore market (CNY) is regulated in a very tight band by the central bank, the offshore market (CNH) is much less controlled and trades in Hong Kong.

See https://www.google.com/search?q=cny+vs+cnh for the linkage.

And its not only the food production. Its also the market who needs to be changed. And how this food is sold. Inport and export should be more wise. Rich countrys produce too much and too cheap. How can they earn money when they sell it to lower prices as in their own country? After they shipped it around the half world? They produce it, they ship it around the world and then sell it very cheap? Cheaper as the poorer countrys could produce it in their own country. Thats how exploitation works.
