> The detailed in-home survey of almost 2,000 Britons found that 18% described themselves as non-users.

I'm really curious what the methodology is here. "detailed in-home" suggests it did something more than just ask people, but then it says they "described themselves" as non-users. If you asked my mum she'd say she doesn't use the internet, but if you sat down in her house with her you'd see she uses Facebook and WhatsApp on her phone to communicate with friends and family, and occasionally accidentally clicks a link that opens a browser. But she'll never open a browser, doesn't actively use her email and would consider herself not to use the internet.

The other thing to consider is that developers spend up to ten hours a day in these editors. The biggest benefits of OS-coherent UI is that an application is quickly learnable for the first week. But when you use an editor for multiple years, all day long, many would trade that for increased customizability.

Jet-Type safe SQL Builder for Go with automatic scan to desired object structure
Writing SQL queries is easier and faster, because the developers have help of SQL code completion and SQL type safety directly from Go.

While ORM libararies can introduce significant performance penalties due too number of round-trips to the database, Jet will allways perform much better, because of the single database call.

Automatic scan to arbitrary structure removes a lot of headache and boilerplate code needed to structure database query result into complex object composition.
We picked React Native and while it's not without its problems in general we quite like it. The community around it is pretty good and being able to use a wide range of JS/React packages is really handy.
More I have studied international relations literacy, more surprised I am of how Iran is misrepresented in public.

Iranian leadership is not crazy group of religious lunatics. Ayatollahs are very conservative group of politicians who use religion for political control. There is nothing there that can't be explained by normal power politics. They have goals and constraints. Their main goal internationally is to become regional power with recognized influence. They see themselves as protectors of the Shia Muslims. Destroying Israel is not any of those goals. It's more of a cynical tool to keep connections into into Shia Arabs and Palestinians.

For the Shia living outside Iran (mainly Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen) Iran is big brother that helps, but is often too controlling for their taste. The West has a tendency to see all Shia groups as mindless Iranian puppets. In reality it's the function of the situation and options they have. Iraqi Shia leaders have established connection with the US and are playing US and Iran for their own goals. Houthis in Yemen are not Iranian puppets. They have their own fight for their own reasons. Iran is just the only one to help them.

Many IR experts see that there is possibility for "the great bargain" with Iran. It would include recognizing Iran's position as big regional power and deal with Israel. It would also diminish the position of Saudi Arabia. The conflict is between Saudi Arabia and Iran over influence is real.

This sounds similar to what people on the spectrum of autism or adhd call "hyper-focus". The problem with hyper-focus is that you rarely have control over it. It's heavily skewed towards the interesting part, not what you need to be doing or how challenging it is. You'll often see absurd levels of complexity for the sake of making it challenging, only to support working on something interesting.

Spotting Narcissists and Psychopaths in Workplace
I love React Native!

That said - if you're not familiar with the JS ecosystem (node_modules, etc), then it can seem a bit overwhelming at first, especially when you encounter configuration or build errors. I don't have any great answers for that except that "it gets easier" with more time and practice.

Also, if you haven't looked at React Native for a couple of years and had a bad experience before - try it again! It's come a really long way in just a few years.

For example: I used to have to worry about cross platform code/libraries working on iOS and not Android - but almost never run into that anymore.
Faster way to find the perfect image for every purpose
All companies have marketing people or other employees wasting a lot of time searching for the perfect image for their newsletter, website, blog, SoMe-post etc – without them knowing the effect the image might have.

We want to change that.

JumpStory is a new kind of image platform combined with both AI and editing tools (for all of us without a degree in graphic design).

Today we have just launched our new HighJumper feature in 30 countries. Based on millions of data, statistics from social media and the latest knowledge within neuromarketing we have built an algorithm, which analyses all the +10 mio. images in our database. The HighJumper icon is our new “performance indicator” icon, which will select the images that have been predicted to perform above average when used in communication and marketing campaigns. With HighJumper your selection of visuals becomes more than just a leap of faith.

You can also use JumpStory to find images in 2 seconds. Just copy-paste your text into our TextMatch tool and within 2 seconds the platform will find suggestions for you.

Finally, we have a built-in editing tool, so you don’t need a graphic designer or an image editing program.

Simple just crop, flip, change colors or even remove the background with a few clicks.

Hopefully this should help anyone searching for images a lot of time

Hope you will check it out on www.jumpstory.com.

Mail me at: FK@jumpstory.dk for a free trial period for the rest of 2019.

Have a nice day.

> Firstly, people simply don't apply for jobs that use languages they don't know.

I did in my last job change - and 80% of the office here didn't know the stack/language when they first came in.

> Secondly, if someone has to learn the language when they join that puts a lag on how quickly they can be useful.

You could learn enough dart to be useful in a day if you are a C#/Java dev with JS experience - enough to go through the codebase - and thats something that takes time no matter what the language - dart isn't that exotic.

Flutter has a higher learning curve but that should also be on the order of week or two depending on how much you know about frontend. React native is the same deal.

> And lastly, companies are (usually) very reluctant to let someone spend the first few months getting up to speed if a technology choice means they can recruit people who'll immediately be effective.

Meh - when they chose stuff like Dart they know hiring pool is limited and usually word the job posting like that - ie. they expect you to be able to pick it up on the go.

I mean your whole argument is nonsense because things like this happen all the time - my current gig I started as a .NET dev with some python/django experience - I'm working on ruby on Rails stack - never touched that before in my life. Took me like 1 day of reading up to be able to go through the codebase - a few weeks and code reviews and I'm pretty much in tune with how they write RoR.

You're probably right about the offensive aspect - the member states very often disagree on much simpler issues, I can't imagine them getting their act together on something as controversial.

As for defense, the EU can't do much, sorry. Most interesting things are done at the hardware level. As for software, maybe they could sponsor security code reviews of some critical elements of open source ecosystem and encourage users to use them, but it would work only if these users used these components exclusively which is never going to happen, even in government.

I live in the UK and a few years back I looked into whether my body could be converted into one of those cool articulated skeletons on my death.

It turns out there's currently a huge oversupply of articulated skeletons in the UK, as the "Human Tissue Act 2004" [1] means (tldr) you now have to have a license to own one. An amnesty means the few institutions that have such licenses have more skeletons than they can possibly use.

Apparently as many as 8 a week are dropped off, grinning from the back seat and enjoying their day out.

Everything inside living organisms are learnt from nature. organisms with sight, learn from what it could see. Organisms with sense of sound can create only what it had heard in past.

Now imagine primitive organisms that has distributed/scattered sensory system like plants( don't start an argument that plant isn't an organism. instead start the right argument with most flawed system please)

We cannot create anything new which we haven't learnt in the past.

WE CANNOT CREATE ANYTHING NEW WHICH WE HAVENT LEANRT IN THE PAST.

Gatekeeping in Online Communities (Tech, Furry)
The argument I propose is not a strong one. It is still an argument: if something is possible, why did evolution not use it? There are several possible answers:

1. Life may not have a use for it

2. It may be impossible to achieve with proteins and cells

3. It may not actually be possible

For quantum computer I (weakly) believe that 1 and 2 are wrong: evolution and cognition would hugely benefit from quantum acceleration and biology operates at a scale where quantum effects are visible. I thought 3. slightly more likely but I'll readily admit that I am nowhere near the knowledge to be categorical about 2.

And note that of the list of things you are giving, there are many that uses the same physical principles that are used by life: steam engine (expansion of heated gases), rockets (ignition of gas), jets (propulsion), helicopters (a rotating wing is a wing), radio waves/X-rays (the RF spectrum, which visible light is part of), etc... The rest, IMO, falls either under 1. or 2. For instance I doubt long-distance communication really offers a substantive advantage when you know whales can already contact each other at 100s of kilometers through shouts, and superfluidity may require conditions and materials that are impossible to reach for organic material.

Note however that this last one is actually a kinda good (if weak) argument: if superfluidity was achievable through organic material and conditions close to the temperature and pressure average on earth, life would probably have found it, as it is clearly a useful property. If tomorrow we find that you can get room-temperature superfluids that are made out of C,H and O atoms, wondering why it is not found in nature will be a very good question.
We gotta turn around and rethink how we are educating ourselves and surrounding us. We have to be very careful in not misinforming facts or the way we think.

I think you might have misread my post (?) I was just giving an example of an active voice sentence with 'entitle'. There is nothing special about 'entitle' that makes it difficult to identify what the grammatical subject of the sentence is.

My post was in response to the claim that "it is often tricky to pin down what would be the subject of an active sentence using entitle as a verb".
In my opinion, based on my personal observations, reading and listening to smart people of the past and present, the most important skill, even meta-skill, for every time and epoch is self-discipline - the ability to do things you need to do tolerating discomfort and suffering. Suffer now to thrive later.

The epoch one lives in and their social position will dictate critical skills an individual requires to survive and move up - be it martial prowess, persuasion, focus. People with strong discipline can grow those skills quicker and farther.

A good inspirational example for me was in David Goggins’ book “Can’t Hurt Me”, where he vividly describes his inner fight against his mind that always wants comfort now; he shares that the main reason he tortures himself with physical challenges is not to become physically strong, but to grow an armored mind, one that is prepared for real life struggles.

Exactly. What is observable in Japan, where a decent job can still provide for a whole family, is that more than half of women choose to be stay-at-home mom. This is not a plot of "the Patriarchy" but something that make sense for them.

On the other side, the current trend in the West to promote women and foreigner work under the diversity meme could be reasonably interpreted as scheme from the big companies to lower wages even further.

If you have to say "No offense" to begin a sentence, it probably doesn't belong on HN. And "..even you..if you were open to learn" is in the same vein. I'm not interested in communicating further.

By the way is not being able to hear your daughter screaming for attention because you're deeply focused on your phone being distracted, or not?

Sounds like laser focusing to me. Which means that it's not a matter of being 'indistractable', but one of prioritising what's worth your attention.

On a side note, I don't like when people make up words like 'indistractable', but that's personal taste.

Gets distracted. Thinks long and hard about distraction. Has an insight on how not to get distracted. Writes a book about it. Writes a blog post to market the book. Future book reviews complain that you could have just read the blog post.

Some of this seems to be a rehash of GTD. Sometimes your distractions are something which you really need to do. Write it down so that you can feel at ease forgetting about it again. Then when you are doing your GTD thing, you can take care of your list.

The rest just doesn't sit easy for me. It seems like he's over-rationalizing a certain slice of life and it feels strange, like a bad aesthetic.

There's work time and then there's personal time. In each case, distraction is okay, it's just that you need to herd the distractions so that you are seeing more of X distractions and less of Y. A client walking in the door may be a valuable distraction. Getting a FB notification while working may be a costly distraction.

Personal time is also all about the right distractions. Interesting things are distractions. In the author's example, the child asking a question is a distraction. We can argue semantics, maybe an interesting thing which captures your attention is called something other than a distraction, but it's still the same thing. Your brain is pointed in one direction and something comes along to redirect that attention to something else.

This is just more productivity porn. Schedule fun time. Look, it's fun time on my calendar. I will enjoy it. I'm having fun... for 20 minutes.
