My in-laws are very anti-public schools. My wife was home schooled for a few years and otherwise went to a private religious school.

Before we had kids, I thought that was the most ridiculous opinion I'd ever heard. The closer our kids get to school age, the more reluctant I am to entrust them to the school system.

Probably just paranoia, I guess. But it seems like the majority of what I hear about schools anymore is how they have the same issue as the corporate world: being too focused on showing short-term gains instead of actually doing what is best over the long-term.

Well, when you fold something you don't necessarily have to fold it in half.
RCS is dead.

The take up amongst operators is really low. And it's unlikely that will change anytime soon as their focus is on the 5G rollout and not on re-platforming their messaging system.

Also the system is unencrypted so you would have to be crazy to use it in this environment.

Absolutely, I just don't don't know how much that will increase congestion. I don't think it would actually be a 2x worse experience due.
Push notification from GCM should not contain any user data. It should be treated just like a notification to the app to check its event source and then display user notification with data sourced from there.
I have the WASD Code with Cherry MX Clears. And while it is a bit quieter, I find it not as satisfying. The keys feel pretty springy, and there's not much feedback. So that satisfying "click" of Greens, Browns and Blues, really is more my cup of tea. I did enjoy it originally though... so your mileage will vary.

The biggest predictor by far of a child's success at school is and always remains their parent.

Adding technology cannot make up for a parent who doesn't teach their child study skills, good learning habits and places an importance on the value of education.

Parents should look at themselves if their child is not performing rather than put the blame on some tool like technology.
Slapdash | San Francisco, London | Fulltime, Onsite | https://slapdash.com/

We are a YC-backed company re-thinking how people work with cloud applications.

Slapdash is the missing layer that unifies your work applications (G-Suite, Dropbox, GithHub, Asana, etc.) allowing you to search, organize and launch; just like you do with files on your computer.

We’re obsessed with speed, from building the fastest workflows to making our user experience latency-free.

We are building the product team to go from 0 to 1 and beyond. We are looking for engineers and a product designer to join us. We are currently 5 people split between San Francisco and London.

Also, the dependency resolution really just relies on `go.mod` and `go.sum` - having to download the entire git tree just to access different versions of those files is a bit inefficient. (It also makes it harder for 3rd parties to serve different versions of a dependency to different people - and easier for Google to do the same)
Minor nitpick, but the quality of compression for pictures/video sent over FB Messenger is atrocious compared to that of iMessage. Like, we aren't talking just technicalities, it is very visually obvious and jarring. Same when it comes to video chat, Discord and FaceTime have waaaaay better quality and reliability.
This is a reasonable opinion but a generic argument for liberalism doesn't really fit into the conversation
For any Americans interested, I suggest reading up on the American Association for Nude Recreation https://www.aanr.com

They have a bunch of affiliated clubs and resorts around the US. They all have strict rules against anything inappropriate in public.

Sometimes it's nice to go out in nature without a barrier between you and the wind, rustling leaves, chirping birds, etc. All of the ones I've been to have WiFi in case you still need to get work done.

As a callow 18 year old in 1980, I suggested to one of my parent's friends that the computer would be as important an invention as fire. He'd been a hippie 10 years earlier, and thought I was being childish, possibly because fire is so vital, more likely because he had a hippie's distrust of the computer's relationship to authority. In retrospect, he was probably right for either reason, though it took me multiple decades to catch on. This article does a nice job of laying out the case for being cautious.
Author here.

A lot of people commented here saying it's questionable not to mention I happened to use an affiliate link.

I want to thank those people for bringing that up. My intent wasn't to deceive anyone and I hope my HN comment history (98% of what I post here are comments on other people's stuff) separate me from yet another affiliate blog spammer.

I just pushed an update to my site that now includes a little snippet of text at the top of every post that has 1 or more affiliate links.

If anyone is curious about the numbers. I have 243 public posts about a whole bunch of developer focused topics at the time of writing this comment and 15 of those posts had affiliate links, and of those 15 posts most of them are 2,000 to 5,000 word articles evaluating and talking about a product or service I really enjoy using and have used successfully for months or years before even writing about it.
I think my issue what binding Consul to docker0 while Docker is starting. Half the time the interface wasn't ready. I don't remember exactly how I fixed it but with SystemD you can just specify a dependency.
> Meanwhile blaming every weather anamoly on climate change is rather tiresome.

Not nearly as tiresome as disregarding the clear and ongoing increase in the frequency and intensity of these anomalous weather events, where every record set just the previous year being toppled yet again is somehow another mere "weather anomaly", only to be considered in isolation.

We seem to have rather a lot of these anomalies, though, don't we? They also seem to be getting more extreme. Perhaps those are data points we might consider. When a class of anomaly becomes less anomalous in frequency (that is, they happen more often, perhaps even becoming the norm), but more anomalous in intensity (read: are bigger), mightn't that suggest something beyond mere fluctuation in a dynamic system?

I wonder what might be dumping all kinds of extra energy into the system, such that it behaves like we're observing...

EDIT: Phrasing
And then when kids cannot conform to this it's labeled ADD and ADHD (I know that these are also real diseases, but I do wonder how much of it is perhaps caused by schedules described in your comment).

Do you (parents in general) think this is normal and good for a child? I had thought homeschooling was lunatic, but if this is the alternative, I can see why people would choose it.

In Hungary in high school we had 45 min classes and 15 min breaks for the first 3 breaks, and then 10 min breaks. We had usually 7 classes per day, so school went from 8:00 to 14:30, usually. Then lunch if you want.

In primary school we had a break where it was mandatory to go down to the schoolyard to be outside in the fresh air (but then do whatever you want).
I have a feeling this must be more common in ex-Protestant, now atheist regions and definitely not in the Catholic South and South-West.

I think we're agreeing here.

The English major (assuming a good liberal education) is well-placed to understand his or her role as an engineer. He or she probably well knows how much there is to learn!

Of course, as you point out, a "large number" won't apply themselves, and won't become engineers, but they'll still have a well-rounded education. So if I was advising a smart youngster on how to get a job writing software in 6-8 years, I'd advise them to study English or Math or Physics or History before computer science. Pick a general concentration in the humanities or sciences that interests you and learn everything you can about the world through the lens of that field. Then go and pick up some programming languages, do an online masters program in the hot tech du jour, and write some code and get an internship or a job. Whatever you do, don't waste your chance at a university education studying computer science if that's what you want to do. The curriculum will bore you, it will move too slowly in all the wrong directions, and you'll pick up a bunch of obsolete preconceptions that you'll be poorly equipped to discard later.

Of course this has implications for what CS programs should be doing and mostly aren't, but that's neither here nor there.
Sorry Dang, I won't do it anymore.
Personally I think this is a pretty positive thing. If a language is at all popular then any breaking change is going to mean work for users, and having those users sitting next to you in the office keeps it fresh in your mind when you're tempted to make that "one small change" to the language.
USB high speed or slower is actually quite forgiving but you will eat up bus bandwidth on a range leading up to non-workability because if the minimum quality is met it will keep retrying. I've pulled off some designs without impedance matched traces with lengths beyond 40% of the signal wavelength (well into transmission line worry territory) that had no issues and helped keep production costs down.

The corn fields here in Michigan are the shortest I have ever seen.

We had a drought this summer but our spring had way too much precipitation. So amny crops were basically ruined by floods.

Corn is in short supply. The grocery stores have it for 2 ears for a dollar, and it's very poor quality. It's usually so cheap you can hardly give sweet corn away. The fields have huge spots where nothing grew.
Anecdotally, if you have body-image issues, spending some time nude around others (like at a nude beach) can actually help alleviate them. Seeing other peoples asymmetrical, weird and quirky bodies makes you realize that it's the norm.

Finally, a non-partisan political article in the mainstream media. It seems the China issue is going to be the one thing that can actually unite Americans, much like after 9/11.

> Now, you can share your Wi-Fi details with guests via a QR code while keeping your password secure.

This is terribly misleading. The format used does contain the password so your password is still being shared:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_code#WiFi_network_login

* https://github.com/zxing/zxing/wiki/Barcode-Contents#wi-fi-n...

I'm saying misleading because there is an interpretation of that sentence that is technically correct: Some people might use short passwords so that they can tell them to guests. With this feature, they can use longer secure passwords. In this interpretation, "keeping your passwords secure" would refer to the entropy of the password instead of how shared it is. However, when you normally read this sentence, this isn't the interpretation that comes to your mind.

I guess that some internal document written by people who understood the difference had something like "with this feature you can have now secure passwords and you are still able share them with guests". Then someone without awareness of this difference reformulated it into the current form.
it's more likely the bulbs are on the LAN and therefore discoverable by a known port or API
The accepted answer is bizarre. It starts out with the correct answer -- Tivoization -- devotes a single word to it, and then goes on a multi-paragraph rant about Google. It has nothing to do with Google; the commenter there has a very exaggerated opinion of the influence Google wields over Linux kernel development.

Might as well go straight to the source, Torvalds himself: https://lkml.org/lkml/2007/6/13/289

Edit: It's also a good point to make (as noted below), that it would be nearly impossible to change Linux's license at this point, since all of the many thousands(?) of contributors would have to be tracked down and agree to the change. Although, since the GPLv2 and GPLv3 are compatible licenses, it's presumably possible to license the kernel as a whole as GPLv3, with new contributions GPLv3-licensed, without touching the licensing of the existing code. That would likely be a nightmare to manage, and it would get really tricky to point to a particular piece of (old but recently changed) code and say "what license is this bit under?"
This thread isn't about breaking changes, though. Neither Rust nor Go make breaking changes.

>> PostScript, which was once widely used

> in academia. Not outside.

NeXTSTEP utilized "Display PostScript"[0] for both printing and display. Apple's Cocoa can trace direct ancestry to frameworks originating in NeXTSTEP[1]. I am pretty sure this included use of PostScript in the display/printing frameworks as well, but do not have references to support that memory.

So, while '.ps' files are not often seen in the wild, as you say, a strong case can be made that PostScript was once (if not currently) widely used.

I think that's an important thing to remember - we can always fork it and move on if they choose to remove the blocking webrequest API.

However, how long that fork can persist, remain secure and retain feature parity is an open question. Should Mozilla cave and the community fork be unpopular, Google will definitely have a monopoly on the browser space.

I used to work at an ed-tech company. When we talked with teachers, one of the things we learned that students were doing was opening up shared Google Docs during lectures and taking notes collaboratively. Even more interesting is that if one of the students didn't understand something the teacher said, they could use the comment function to make a note and other students would then explain the concept to them.

I think you are correct that the concepts these students are learning probably aren't improved too much by technology, but there are tons of ways in which students can learn and collaborate in real time which wouldn't be possible without devices like chromebooks.

There's some security benefit, I suppose. If even the police can't access their records then possibly no one else can either.

Nah. Perhaps that could be the case in a pleasant fantasy world inhabited by ponies and unicorns and flutterbugs; today I think it just means no one knows who else has that data.
Even currently, all other forms of recording are useless in terms of use as verification.
