The article specifies that the tribe in question had more women than men.

I don't understand why the Jesuits made monogamy a requirement for baptism. The idea of having any sort of "litmus test" at all for baptism is a blatant contradiction, it's as if they never read their own Bible, or they would know the example of the apostle Philip, who, in Acts 8:26-38, encounters an Ethiopian court official travelling back to Ethiopia, briefly joins him in his chariot, tells him about Jesus, and then: 'As they traveled along the road and came to some water, the eunuch said, "Look, here is water! What is there to prevent me from being baptized?" And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and Philip baptized him.'

The Jesuits seem to have things completely backwards. A man cannot turn away from sinning just by his own sheer willpower. We are all corrupted since Adam and Eve disobeyed God in the Garden of Eden, and it is utterly hopeless to try to be "good people" without the intervention of the Holy Spirit.

>Christianity was always a "slave religion"

Quite appropriately so since we are all slaves to sin, not to mention all sorts of other insidious dystopian 21st century slavemasters. If you're some kind of Marvel Superhero with absolute unchecked personal sovereignty then I guess you should go worship Zeus or something, but I know for absolute certain I'm not such a superhero.

I've replayed 80 days a few times. As long as you choose different paths, the game will tell you a pretty different story (at least for those three times I replayed it). I even died before making it all the way around the world once.
You should try that for a week or two. Take an alaskan sabbatical or something.

You will likely gain a new appreciation for modern society. That or be bear food.
I would really like to read through a solid post that details Enterprise Software Architecture. As the author mentions, it certainly is hazy and I wonder if you can bring in 2 architects form different firms to talk the same language.

Wonder if HN has a recommendation.
Actions you can take now:
-Budget and spend less than you earn
-Save as much as you can for emergency funds and investments
-Invest in safe ways. I want to hedge against recession so I bought bond funds and commodity and inflation funds.
-Remember to enjoy life and not worry too much. You can only do so much.
I am one, too, with specialization in high tech electronics manufacturing processes and control systems. To be honest, it's relatively straightforward to understand how manufacturing works... If you have access to a factory. The two areas that I find the most interesting are Operations Research (essentially, solving optimization problems) and Supply Chain Management, which seems like it'd mostly be OR, too, but in reality ends up being much more about how well you understand laws and regulations and can bend them to your will.

Why I am seeing this on HN?
Threading macros make it very obvious how nested functions are competitive with imperative styles. They both make the problems more obvious and the solutions to those problems more intuitive.

After using them for a few hours, suddenly monads become obvious. The values passing through the thread need a level of boxing; and the threading macro can respond sensibly when errors occur.

Continuing the logical pattern from -> to some-> there is a fertile field of possibility for threading macros to provide the error handling structures that get lost moving from imperative to functional programming. Probably possible to be too clever though.
As someone who maintains open source software, I sympathize with the author and agree that he doesn't owe users personalized help.

However, he does have to comply with the legal requirements of the license he uses. Personally, I don't use GPL/LGPL licenses, but if I did, I'd be careful to comply with the provisions of the license.

It's a 3 person side-project over 3 months. I suppose he means that Rust is to thank for this level of polish and reuse of 3rd party libraries. My experience with Rust is similar and there are many projects I would consider impossible (practically not technically) without Rust.

Programs like shells or servers are expected to perform well and usually cannot afford the GC tax (more memory usage and pauses). I wouldn't use a shell written in a GCed language. That would leave them with non-GC'ed languages. C or C++ simply don't have a usable equivalent of Cargo/crates.io which makes 3rd party reuse slower, and then they have much weaker execution safety guarantees.

I don't agree with your premise that chess has evolved to be at the pinnacle of its niche (I don't know enough about Go to comment on it).
There are a number of interesting variations in chess-like games that, while maintaining the general theme of killing the enemy king, offer aspects of gameplay that chess does not.

Two of the more well known variations are shōgi and xiangqi: Shōgi allows the redeployment of captured pieces, whilst xiangqi limits the movement of a few pieces and has a mechanism for representing artillery. I find that each game has a very different character to that of western chess, even despite the fact that they share a large number of tactical motifs.

Western chess may be the most popular variant world-wide, but that's no indication that it is at any kind of pinnacle.
There are a multitude of different processes and procedures to deal with different kinds of fertility issues. It isn't uncommon to do a "fresh" transfer after a handful of days. Genetic testing is generally only going to be offered if you do a frozen transfer. Not all embryos are of high enough quality to survive being frozen, and a live transfer might be the only option.

An entry-level Rolex costs about $5000, or 5x the price of an iPhone Xs. That iPhone will be a worthless piece of e-waste after five years or so when it stops receiving iOS updates. With regular servicing, your old Rolex will make a handsome graduation gift for your great-great-great-grandson. The Rolex might be more expensive, but I think it's something of a bargain.

> What's the best setup these days for ad-blocking + privacy/tracker-blocking that doesn't break the web?

If one doesn't want to break the web, they shouldn't block ads since most of the web is free thanks to ads.

I use a blacklist approach and only block ads on those websites which clearly have no consideration for usability (popups, autoplaying videos, ...) or for privacy.

I have found that Unlock Origin is great for this approach.
I agree... I think we should be ready to evacuate Hong Kong if China sends in the military. China has built up a huge military presence nearby. Tiananmen has shown us the communist party is willing to slaughter thousands of kids to protect their power.
This isn't accurate at all according to the article. In this particular place and time, women outnumbered men. I'm assuming it's because men took on some dangerous role that women didn't (war, hunting, etc.)

“Since I have been preaching…that a man should have only one wife I have not been well received by the women; for, since they are more numerous than the men, if a man can only marry one of them, the others will have to suffer. Therefore this doctrine is not according to their liking.”
This is amazingly unworkable, even in countries with relatively stable court systems. Reporting of allegations of abuse of power becomes impossible. News would be entirely replaced with celebrity fluff and opinion pieces.

Privacy Badger isn't an adblocker per se. It's designed to block trackers, not ads. Those two often collide, but Privacy Badger won't do a thing to block first-party ads (as an example).

That's somewhat different than uBlock Origin's no-ads-what-so-ever policy.
The BBC was never entirely free given that until ECHR we had no legal right to free speech of any kind. Examples from the 80s were the ban on Sinn Fein speaking, and the "Zircon affair".
Not with a reasonable set of rules. We have libel laws that have clear definitions and aren't that abused and people still regularly publish.
Yes, I don't even think the most important issue is that we as developers have js fatigue. The biggest issue is that we are developing web applications that are outdated before they are even released. Our software relies on thousands of dependencies that are constantly changing or even dying off. Updating an application that was built two or even just one year ago is often not a trivial task. So while the frameworks and tooling have thankfully improved, in general the cost of developing and maintaining an application seems to be much greater than in the past (e.g. PHP MVC app with some jQuery sprinkled in).
To be fair creating something that has to resemble someone else's vision feels very different from creating something that you envision yourself.

Finding balance is important and apart from that I guess not everyone likes creating stuff equally.

(Edit: grammar lol)
Fusion-fission hybrids combine the worst features of both. There is no user "pull" for the concept. If you want power with fission, just build a fission reactor; that's going to be simpler, cheaper, and altogether more sensible. If you want to dispose of waste, just seal it in dry casks and wait a century or three before deciding what to do with it. That will also be much simpler and (due to nonzero interest rates) cheaper.
> […] it has certainly made my browsing feel much less invasive.

How does this manifest itself to you? With uBlock Origin installed (part of the usual recommendations) you don't see any ads at all. I couldn't tell if some website shared data with another website, because the effects that I could observe (e.g., ads that follow me around) are already gone.
I see some people can't just wrap their mind around doing something not for profiting off others.
Perhaps one should create, but not with the goal of consumption. Focus on the act of creation, not the object.

I agree, we need to learn how to simply be instead of worrying about how to achieve or get something done.
If there was one in the past, it certainly doesnt exist today. Marriage laws seem to have evolved to laws protecting the mother and ensuring the child can grow sufficiently comfortable.
In the public sector of Denmark we’ve been on a decade long journey toward better Enterprise Architecture. We have national guidelines for how we want public system/services to be build and how they should be able to transfer data through APIs. We don’t get completely technical, telling you what tools you need to use to build your software, only how your software needs to fit into the environment that is public sector digitalisation.

The reason we do this is because we’ve seen what happens when we don’t.

The municipality where I work operate a pretty common amount of IT systems. We don’t know exactly how many because there isn’t a centralised unit to handle them all, but our guess is 300 different IT systems. There is a lot of common things these systems need, like authentication. That used to be terrible. Before web-services and federated IDPs it was quite literally maintaining our organisational hierarchy in 300 different IT systems manually. And that’s just our place, in Denmark we have 98 municipalities that all have 300 IT systems run by different suppliers. With a common architecture we defined how organisational data needs to be interpreted by these systems, we also build a single co-owner database where each municipality could make these data available in the same defined format, through the same APIs.

It’s already saving us millions, just from this tiny piece of the much bigger picture. It’s not been without backlash either, because as it turns out, private tech companies don’t actually want to build the smartest systems. They want to sell us silo systems, because then they can sell us access to our data 300 x, where 1x could be organisation data and another x could be statistics.

Anyway, I think we have evidence that architectural choices matter a great deal. At least when you look at it from an enterprise sized point of view.

With that said, I’m not sure I buy detailed application architecture, where you design everything in your favourite markup-language, either. We certainly have no evidence to support that this sort of architecture isn’t just a waste of time. But for the big picture, in enterprise sized organisations, you can’t live without IT-architecture if you want to be efficient.

If you want to read more about it, you can at: http://info.rammearkitektur.dk/index.php/Forside but it’s in Danish.

We can cut off illegal immigration by fixing the problem at the source. Illegal immigrants in many cases are fleeing oppressive regimes and evil dictatorships. We have the largest military on Earth. Let’s use it to help overthrow evil dictatorships in countries like Venezuela and combat drug gangs in Columbia. Let’s give these people free governments. Then they will have no reason to flee and try to emigrate illegally to the United States.

it may be the 10th time she's been stopped in this one trip

Well that sounds too heavy and aggressive. If a lady is actually stopped by strangers while out, I'm not surprised she's sick of it.

There is so many aspects to this, it's impossible to reasonably discuss it on an online forum.

That is very true. This particular aspect of human interaction and communication, relying so much as it does on things other than the pure literal interpretation of words, is perhaps uniquely unsuitable for discussion on a text only forum where the words are all we have, and doubly so here on HN where the preponderance of people who joyfully embrace literal interpretation is so high!
It looks like an interesting light summary of the state of things. The technical articles might be more useful, for me.

As a primarily Python/C++ developer who dabbled with JS in the early and late 2000s, can anyone recommend an efficient way to get started with modern JS development for hints like interactive frontends with a different-language. I’m comfortable with large language ecosystems, but there seems to be an intimidating number of incompatible paradigms - and there’s both the technology and toolings.

Easiest to start with one track e.g. react/tutorials and branch from there? Good books that approach the problem efficiently and for a decent existing programmer/scientist?

I noticed it with CNN back around 2008. I don't remember the specifics these days, but I do remember Glenn Greenwald really making a lot of salient points about the direction that CNN had taken. My inner conspiracy theorist has also spent a lot of time wondering if it's just divide-and-conquer in action.
A Raspberry Pi running Pi-hole[1] works really well in my household. We have 20+ devices and 2 adults, 2 kids, connecting to a combination of wifi and ethernet and all get DNS automatically assigned to the Pi-hole. I routinely see ~ 20-30% of all outgoing DNS requests blocked by the Pi-hole.

Note you don't need a Raspberry Pi to run Pi-hole, you can run it using a Docker image too.

> Typescript solves the biggest issue I have with using JS which is a lack of a static type system.

Hmm, the biggest problem with JS is types? Are you sure? I rarely had issues with types in JS. With JS I just used my trusty dynamic type checker at specific places in the codebase, and testing coverage of course even more importantly.

But with TS, the codebases I see on a daily base are mostly a terrible mess of wrong ideas, wrong libraries, wrong constructs, wrong design principles, tooling hell, etc, etc.. Which is IMHO the real issue with JS/TS. For some reason TS proponents seem to live in a world where 'TS solves everything'.

For me TS is just writing 20% more code and regularly needing to use the 'any' keyword to avoid spending hours on getting a basic line of code working. Everything I write non-professionally is not TS, I cannot think of 1 single reason to give myself that burden.

The best thing TS has given me is even more jobs. With Agile front-end developers spend at least 1 day a week in the meeting room, now with TS they spend 20% of their time left to hassling with types. It's hilarious. Especially all those managers that have no clue what's going on, why front-end development gets slower and slower.
The 3/5 compromise was to reduce the power of slave owning states as they wanted slaves to count fully for determining the states’ representation in the house so they could maintain more control of the house.

The compromise reduced the control the slave states had.
Nier is pretty fun mechanically (although it has some annoyances). You even play differently to a certain extent in susequent playthroughs. Since most people say you have to play the game three times in order to experience enough of the story, you could just treat each playthrough as completing a really long chapter in the story. But regardless, it might not be your type of thing still.

I had somehow missed The Outer Wilds (I think I kept mixing it up with Obsidian's The Outer Worlds, still not yet released), but I've started noticing people talk about it lately. If you're putting it up there with The Witness, then I need to check it out.

Even if you normally hate tactics games, I would recommend watching a video or two on Into The Breach. I do like Tactics games, but I no longer have time for a proper one. I tried playing Wargroove, spent an hour on a mission and failed it, to have to start it all over again, and I went... "Yeah...guess I'm not playing this game again for awhile." It left a sour taste in my mouth.

But Into the Breach is different. It's a roguelike, so failing is okay, you just make your survival situation tougher for yourself and might not "beat it" that playthrough. And each map has a strict turn limit to accomplish your objective, usually only like 5 turns max, so each level takes about 5-10 minutes, usually. And again, knowing exactly how the enemies will attack during your turn really changes the feel of it, and it feels less like a tactics game and more like a puzzle game using tactics mechanics. Like the difference between playing Chess or solving a Chess Problem. That example might not make it sound that sexy, but it's really addictive.

Also I heard that FF7 remake is more action oriented, and doesn't really have an ATB bar this time around. Maybe you'll like it more than you think.
> However, he does have to comply with the legal requirements of the license he uses.

No, the author doesn't. Not really. The license governs the use of people who don't hold the copyright. That's why the author of a project can just turn around and release under a new license.
This is a pertinent point for any idle readers.

I see a lot of building in downtown RWC and San Carlos. Maybe won’t be the center, but definitely a significant uptick.
I have an LG G4 that has been dropped, knocked, thrown, placed under running water and generally suffered countless other abuses over the last 3 years. Still works like a champ.

I tried replacing the old workhorse with a Nokia 8 Sirocco earlier this year. The first time I dropped that thing the screen broke into a million pieces. I replaced it but dropped it again a few days later. Again it broke into a million pieces. I'm not fixing it again and now it sits on the shelf waiting to be recycled.
Agreed. The area around the LCD doesn’t need to be an advertisement for all its features. My current Timex Ironman has labels for what the buttons do on the screen instead of around it, which means that there’s less useless writing on the face. But it still has to mention its “10 LAP TIMER” near the bottom, which is annoying.
> Christianity was always a "slave religion"

The first adopters of most religions are those who have the least to lose.

> We are all corrupted since Adam and Eve disobeyed God in the Garden of Eden,

That's a more contemporary interpretation. Literal interpretation is the fruit gave them knowledge. They realize of their shame. And humans make mistakes.

> I don't understand why the Jesuits made monogomy a requirement for baptism.

All people who try to implement certain rules and procedures get hung up on variety of details even if it doesn't make a difference.
charlatans? You mean like when Facebook claims they have implemented the signal protocol but then scan your messages for keywords in order to disable encryption for governments? There is no way for you to check my claim nor Facebook's as it's closed source.

Same goes for threema which will shortly be required by Swiss law to comply with Büpf as they will reach a size requiring it. It's closed source, we can't check what they are doing. Their external security audit was a long time ago.

At least with telegram if I install the android version off fdroid it is compiled from source and I can verify that.

I can gets users to switch to telegram, I can't get them to switch to signal. There is a trade-off but I would argue telegram over whatsapp anytime.
That is funny. I remember reading about just in time production in german magazines since decades. Maybe they shouldn't have produced so much in advance?

What would be interesting would be to see if this was typical of many societies that practiced polygamy. I could imagine that men taking more dangerous risky occupations and having higher mortality might have been a constant during much of human history.
They don't need to be "as bad." As another user commented, many of us grew up hearing and knowing that Fox News was biased and agitated their watchers with lies and deceit. When I then see the "side" that I associate with, the left-wing press, as it were, using the same tactics, it makes me _much_ angrier than when the right-wing press does it. I expect the right-wing press to pull this bullshit. I expect the left-wing press to be honest.

Either I was naive, which is very likely, or they lost the high ground along the way. At any rate, the effect is the same for me. I don't trust them any longer. And, I don't think I'm alone.
