Good job duplicating that second paragraph of the linked article.
The use of "obsessed" is a pretty aggressive conclusion - just because people do something a lot doesn't mean they're obsessed. I'm not obsessed with laundry and vacuuming because I have a dog that sheds a lot.

When I was a kid, my grandma was in a retirement home, and every time I'd go over, she'd have the TV on and blasting at full volume. She wasn't obsessed, there just wasn't much else she could do. She was in bad physical shape, so she couldn't leave her room easily. Her eyes were bad, so she couldn't read or engage in a lot of other activities. Her options were the TV or talking to her kids on the phone, and you can only do the latter for so many hours a week.

Millennials/teens/whatever group of young people you want to compare them to are more physically fit and able to get around, plus they have larger social networks. That enables them to do a much broader range of activities than the elderly, so of course it's likely they'll divide their time among more things than the elderly will.
There's some evidence that this is true for cats at least, where falls above a certain height begin to cause fewer injuries, presumably due to giving the cat time to twist their body around into a legs-down parachute-like shape. http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2010/11/domestic-cat...

This is excellent. Thank you!

John McCarthy said that he never had the intention to realize the lambda calculus, but he followed that statement with the corollary that had someone "started out with that intention, he might have ended with something like LISP." Peter Landin was a pioneer in that regard. See "The Mechanical Evaluation of Expressions", published in 1964, and the SECD virtual machine. Machine interpreters like SECD and CEK may come close to a "realization" of the lambda calculus. Their design is directly inspired by its semantics. You don't necessarily end up with something like LISP, but you can, see Lispkit and LispMe.

I have a 4K Samsung Smart TV that I use as a monitor. It just doesn't get on the network.

I'm sure there are a great many factors involved in the "reduction" (not prevention) than their own efforts. Examples being, those with opportunity already did so, the Syrian conflict winding down, or ISIS uprooted.
> after some inflection point, does your likelihood of survival actually increase with altitude?

For humans, no. After ~10sec you’re falling at terminal velocity, which is generally 2-300km/h, and your odds of survival are extraordinarily close to zero.

This lady had a double malfunction, where there were issues with both main and reserve parachutes, but per a police report (1), she was descending at 60km/h, so she must have had at least some parachute material out and slowing her fall.

She’s very lucky, despite what’s likely to be a shitty next couple of years of rehab, but this isn’t a “fell from an airplane without a parachute and survived” miracle.

I believe React recycles DOM nodes based on type (they decide some DOM nodes are faster to recreate instead of reuse depending on the circumstances)

I may be wrong, but I believe hyperapp recycles both the physical DOM node and the attached vdom node together (IIRC, they mark reused vdom nodes as "recycled" instead of directly comparing objects so they don't have to construct as many new vdom objects).

Preact kinda cheats here because they diff against the DOM directly.

What they're trying to do is a bit of false transparency thinking if they show the people they're paying to tweet are associated with the brand it'll look less fake because "if they were being fake we'd hide it" or something similar. If it was paired with something less artificial and hyper cheery it might have worked but the relentless positivity and the fact that no one person replies more than twice it feel real fake real fast.

Self-Taught Developers: An Increasing Problem?
As someone who has tried to do make a Minecraft clone in JavaScript perhaps I can shine a light on why I tried it. I guess first and foremost I'm fond of Minecraft and I'm primarily a JS developer. So when I wanted to improve my game development and webGL/openGL capabilities it was quite a natural choice. Jumping into the actual project there's a few attempts around on the web, probably by people with similar mindsets. This means there some references on roughly how the game works. There's some quite interesting little things I learnt from it: implementing perlin noise, procedural generation techniques, triangulation of voxels, various boilerplate stuff for webGL and webGL 2, voxel optimised ray casting, deferred rendering, shadow mapping and world chunking.

All in all it was quite profitable; several of those things have come in useful for my day job since then. Of course it didn't much improve your game design skills, as I was just copying another game.

I never finished it, and looking around most of these copies are in a similar state. I'm proud of what I achieved and each problem I overcame but I can't even claim mine competes with the original or even the best clones out there. It's fairly easy to reason why most of these clones were never finished. It's a huge amount of work and the goal has already been reached by someone else. So motivation after the initial "oh hey I built something a little like Minecraft" is hard to find.

These sorts of project serve 3 purposes:
- inspire others to try something similar ( hopefully for the same reasons )
- improve your own abilities
- show appreciation to the developers of Minecraft

As for why this project is "hacker news worthy" I expect it's just because it looks more polished than most. But as I said above, most of the value of the project is to the developer, not anyone else.

We created milliner to solve a problem we experienced building HTML marketing emails for our clients.

Building HTML emails in 2019 is a bit like building Websites 10 years ago - loads of different email clients with their own rendering bugs and issues.

Getting your email working consistently involves knowing the right incantations (and quality documentation is often hard to find) and multiple rounds of testing.

We knew there had to be a better way so we created Milliner - it has a visual front end which allows you to freestyle add columns and rows, images, text and an engine that converts that to solid HTML and CSS that works in all clients.

What was a process that took several hours (or even days) can now be achieved much faster.

We're two guys bootstrapping out of the London Techhub.

There are actually liquid nitrogen services used in well servicing (I saw them but never inquired what they were for) and they were on the scale of a medium-sized service truck - so in theory, what you're proposing should be possible.

My guess is that in practice, it's not profitable given the current price of natural gas and the difficulties of keeping liquid nitrogen cold - the smaller the container, the shorter the time it can economically stay liquid. So you'd need either pretty bulky equipment that needs to be moved once the gas at a well runs out, or you'd have to spend an awful lot of the energy from the gas keeping your N2 cold during transport. Which even if it is profitable on paper, might not survive contact with the field - oil leases are not controlled environments, and Murphey's law is out in force out there in a way that can be easily underestimated.
It’s traditional to build these kinds of loops in C, e.g.:

I’d say it’s acceptable, and Python is adding syntax so it can mix assignments and checks.

of course a single young person can't do much other than speak (which is after all supposed to be the point of twitter), but on the aggregate it does shift the conservation. Over the last few years people have become more aware of amazon's business practises and it is starting to be reflected in politics, on both sides of the isle.

Sure, a tweet chain like this isn't going to change the world, but it's better than nothing or to pretend you can have a genuine discussion with Seth "fc ambassador" your friendly neighbourhood employee who is literally reading talking points off a page

Anyone who owns the means but does not actually do the work of production. This is in contrast to a worker-owned structure. It leads to concentration of power, since the profit from many workers goes to one or a few owners. Each owner is more powerful than any one worker, so workers have to act collectively to have leverage.
I use Fargate because it's not a PaaS. I don't want to use a platform, I want something to schedule my containers for me. (Granted, AWS is a platform, but not how you mean, I guess)

> The only way to "solve climate change" is to simply not travel as much, no more romantic weekends in Rome or 4 days trips to mallorca, &c ...

That's exactly what I talked about in other comments. To you, these 4 day trips are the most wasteful usage of resources. To others, it may be the over-consumption of fashion. To a single person, a weekend in Paris could mean the world, maybe because it saved their relationship and prevented a burn-out or....

If you extrapolate that argument (and if you don't, you'd need to explain where to stop why), you would end up in a carbon-free pre-industrial world and yet would still have a huge environmental debt of the co2 we've already blown out. Not to mention 8 billion human beings which produce co2 and methane per their bare existence.

Humans, in general, react to immediate rewards (which is why addictions are a thing at all). So it would be nearly impossible to build climate policy upon abdications without risking revolts.

All human (civilizing) action is aimed at enlarging the space of possibilities. The solution to car accidents was not less traffic, but better cars. The solution to food shortage was not caloric restrictions but better agricultural tech (also worldwide, humans are suffering less and less from hunger), the solution to IPv4 shortage was not restriction, but a better protocol. The solution to handicaps in humans was not euthanasia, but development of medical devices. All that aimed at enlarging the space of possibilities. Why should it be different for emissions?

I am trying to imagine a world where one of these workers replies:

"Oh yes actually, working conditions here are terrible. In fact, I hate my job and so does everyone else."

What happens to that employee? Back in the day I worked for Fedex in a warehouse organizing mail and I did it for like $9/hr and tbh, even at $15/hr I wouldn't have been able to stay for more than a year or so. The conditions weren't terrible but the job itself is.

I can't speak for Amazon workers but if it's anything like what I was doing then I understand why they are frustrated. Then again, it's sort of like a plumber complaining about the smell. If you lift and organize boxes for a living and you do that 8 hours a day 5 days a week then eventually those paper cuts are going to start to feel like serrated knives.
This is a parroted response used every time someone attempts to meta-analyze the method that allows discourse to propagate. Someone going "ha, you just want to feel superior," is pretty ironic, isn't it?

Examining and critizicing communication mediums is an important and valuable thing to do, especially with respect to the internet. Do you truly believe that sound-bite length tweets that focus more on trying "burn" the opposing side instead of making cogent points are the best way of having rational discussions? If not, then what the OP mentioned is important - the format of Twitter just _doesn't_ lend itself to good discussions as much as it does to fanning flames and coming up with good quips. It promotes the worst parts of discourse, and viewing everything that comes out of it through that lens isn't an attempt to feel superior - it's a _necessary_ thing to keep in mind. In order to fully appreciate a message, you have to fully understand its medium. And Twitter is a shitty medium.

Not sure if you're interested, but the risk of base jumping comes from the fact that you're starting from zero airspeed, which means that all of your "flight control surfaces" (arms, legs, torso, etc.) that skydivers use to re-position themselves during falling are useless. There's not enough air flowing across your limbs to produce any usable force.

This means that there's a risk you're not in the necessary deploy position when the critical throw/survive moment arrives, and you carry an increase risk of not surviving.

> I don't think the future of "solving climate change" involves owning private cars, even electric, and carrying it around in trains, there is no way this would be scalable to the amount of people traveling by plane.

Less creepy, and genuinely useful forms of targeting exist (e.g. contextual targeting). There's just not enough momentum in the AdTech industry to shift. These could work just fine.

In other words, what WebKit is trying to achieve is good news for us.

Publishers so far seem to have given up on the higher CPMs coming from non-targeted ad calls on Safari. Additionally, they would be more than happy to skip ads completely if a different, stable source of revenue existed. There's a bunch of startups dealing with monetising publisher content without ads (Scroll, Blendle, etc...).
