My friend who is the dad of teenagers told me that his son's friend was caught waking up at 3am every morning, playing Fortnite until 5am and then going back to sleep before his parents woke up.

I ruined my college years playing video games 3 hrs a night in my dorm for the entire year. The addiction is real.
This is an amusing take. Nobody cares if you (as a foreign tourist) go to those sites, in fact if you’re on T-Mobile roaming or in a hotel that caters to westerners, you don’t go through the firewall at all.
I'd argue that preparation for downtime is in fact the key lesson.

The idea that astrology is a computer?

Astronomic bodies act as timers, yes? Does that part at least make sense to you?

Are you confused about how they are programmed? It’s the same way you program the alarm on your phone, you choose a cycle and you attach a label to it.

I’m not trying to propose anything too controversial here.
Thank you for clarifying, I see where you are coming from! My background is in research and it is fairly common to extend / reuse an existing terminology, but I totally understand and accept your point of view.
The name of this subreddit seems unfortunate. It's referencing an old derogatory and insensitive stereotype. If one's goal is to understand and improve things, throwing up stereotypes doesn't seem a constructive start -- I'd expect it to instead alienate, and contribute to us-vs.-them thinking.
Impulse control is a spectrum. All kids are different.
Support them the same way you support users without JavaScript. There will always be users without JS, so you need to deal with that. Treat old browsers as just another browser without JavaScript. It’s very easy to do if you use script type=module.
My teenager calls friends on her phone. My younger kids walk to their friends' houses and knock on their doors.

The idea that "nor does anyone really appreciate unexpected visitors." is a recent concept. When I was growing up, that is just how it worked - you knocked on a door. If they were busy or could not play, you respected that and left. If they really didn't have time for you, they just wouldn't answer the door. Obviously, you'd make plans if you didn't live near each other, but kids running around the local neighborhood pulling each other out of homes to play outside was literally an every day experience.

It is truly a difference in generations at this point. I find it disturbing and annoying to get texts and phone calls, but friendly and welcome for friends to stop by and say hello.
Exactly - not to mention the anxiety: is there a phone booth? Do I have coins? Will anyone let me use a regular phone? Where can they pick me up, I don’t know this part of town! Did I lose my travel pass? Where is my ticket? Did I tell my parents where I was going? Etc etc...

Back in the ‘90s, you had to prepare to hang out in the city centre with a few friends. Nowadays you can literally improvise your life by the hour and everything will be alright. It’s incredibly liberating.

It's actually two misspellings that counteract each other. Yes, the googol is the number, but when naming the number the mathematician asked his nephew what it should be, who responded with the name of his favorite cartoon character, spelled Google.

I would be happy if it gets its own name in the future. I am voting against "sniklaus" effect though since this was a team effort and I could not have done it without my mentors.
That is a nice way of putting it, thank you for chiming in!
What's the current project? I've been wanting to post one of mine for the past few years, but I never get around to it...
What exactly is "bored" though. I read the article and it wasn't clear. Are they just referring to digital devices, video games, etc? Or books and doing crafts etc? Because those probably have the same level of stimulation as digital devices, in the absence of digital devices.

Or do they mean we should force our kids to do mundane work?
nah. grats to this guy but one person's accomplishments does not diminish the value of our own accomplishments. All the time i spent fucking around and getting into trouble as a youth has led me to this lovely place I am now and wouldnt trade it for the world.
Yes. Selling cars to the border patrol is, in this formulation, unethical.
Yes, but the fear is that the curve of threat against time is exponential.
TDD is so tragically misunderstood. I don't think this dude knows what he is talking about.

Case in point: you don't have to write your tests first. You can write a quick spike first to feel out you API, then rewrite that code with TDD.

Why is this dude so desperate to have this function written quickly? This whole episode could not have taken more than 20 minutes. Sloppiness is the enemy with software development.

"But in real life, features are way more complex than Function X should take a name and output a greeting with that name. Often times the product request will change mid-work, or you’ll realize that the feature can’t work as requested. Maybe your original understanding was flawed and you have to start over."

Smoking gun right here. This is just wrong and stinks of amateur. Features are almost always made of many small functions that do little bits of easily tested work. And if you factor you code well, which is a large benefit of TDD: having well factored code, changes should not collapse you whole sand castle. If that is happening, maybe go back to school. Oh wait, you never went to school, just a 4 week course so you can have low level programming job to toil at...

What he is missing here is the alternative: a big ball of mud with giant functions and poor tests to validate behavior.
> It seems like the input images that you used are paintings.

Yeah, I love trying things that aren't supposed to work! They often do work and surprise you, or fail in interesting ways.
Yep, I’m in the same boat. Worked on a project and made a Show HN that linked to Github that linked to the website and docs. No comments or upvotes so I’m sure it got lost in the sea of other Show HN posts.

Yes. All of them are in active use and subjected to hundreds or thousands of pounds of force.

Considering my lack of experience I suspect over time I'll find at least one weak joint. That said it's really not hard to tell if you get penetration, especially if you grind them.

> While one may argue such attacks can always be explained by ‘normal’ BGP behavior, these in particular suggest malicious intent, precisely because of their unusual transit characteristics – namely the lengthened routes and the abnormal durations.

The investigation is pretty damning—it’s clear from the visuals that the traffic followed unusual routes. (Canada to South Korea via China, seriously?)

Could there possibly be an innocent explanation where the channel through PRC somehow happens to be less saturated or otherwise faster?

Could it be related to the recent objection by DoJ to the US—HK undersea link? I imagine such a link could enable even wilder hijacking scenarios.

The article is from 2018, but it seems like it was an ongoing thing at the time of publication—is it still happening with no repercussions?

I did get some laughs from the unsuccessful attempt at diverting US—Italy traffic, but overall it paints a bleak picture.
Microsoft's ATL and WTL are comparable to parts of standard library and boost. They build very fast, despite also based on templates. Often run much faster too, e.g. CAtlMap is typically faster than std::unordered_map by an order of magnitude, due to cache friendliness. The only downside, it's Windows only.
I went to such a school and, while I don't believe we had to sign a pledge, no TV was certainly ingrained into our culture. Plastic toys, clothes with large prints, and the color black was to be avoided.

I always felt it was unfortunate because these schools were on the forefront in other areas such as lesson scheduling, teaching methodology and a curriculum that contained a good mix of art, language and science.

Growing up I had access to cable TV and because of that I was always light-years ahead of my class in English.

I agree, I heard the same thing about comic books and D&D.

Except the problem these days is that algorithms are preying on human weaknesses and taking advantage of addictive characteristics. Things like video games and youtube videos are purposefully making themselves so addictive that it's different from before. I'm not one to say "this time it's different" but this time it really is.

Ah, I did think he used it somewhere but I must have missed it, you're right. But in this case he is not referring to a moral principle as much as a terminological point. "Absolutely wrong" here refers to rhetoric and writing, it's not clear to me that he thinks people who use the term "sexual assault" in an accusation are morally bankrupt.

It comes across to me as a bit over-the-top and alarmist, but, if I consider what I know of technology and (less) history, such events and dynamics seem plausible.
It's easier to leave a small country. The distance from any city in it to another country is lower. You can hop in a boat in Singapore or Hong Kong, but that is much harder to in East Turkestan.

Then there is the likelihood of colonization or invasion in general and the ability of ideas to spread. Competition between governments is more intense.

It may be Europe got its technological advantage and property rights evolved more quickly there because of more competition between countries. But in the center of a large continent, change is slower.
People need to be careful of new TLDs not just for branding and communication reasons. We had a client in the UK healthcare industry who had to switch their domain name from clientname.healthcare to clientnamehealth.org.uk because NHS systems were rejecting email addresses with the .healthcare TLD as invalid.
In the sense of nurturing that, "start something fun" part of childhood, yes!

But, if one does that, it requires also being empowering and participatory to a large degree.

The latter is a LOT OF FUN. If you do it, for a time, that old spark of childhood comes back, and you just play. Playing with them, leaving a little of the adult behind, is worth it for everyone.

I get to do it again as I am raising a granddaughter now, due to a son getting involved with the wrong people, hard fall. It's ugly, but she's great.

Know what? I have a much harder time returning there. I can, and each time it's easier, but damn! We do get old when we are not playing as much. Don't do it.

Play.

Participation was the best medicine. Yes, it takes your time, but only for a while. Soon, they will be acting on their own, and will invite you (best accept some of those to remain relevant), and will learn to play, explore, build, do more on their own, not just placating themselves in front of a screen.
I just watched the trailer to that special, really interesting insights into the vision of sharks. And kudos on the nifty special effects to illustrate it!
I had many ideas similar to yours before I had children.

Like Mike Tyson said, "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth." After having childre, you realize how sometimes you have to do things just to survive.
Hm... this is interesting, but I’m wondering whether it makes more sense to compare b-heap to other block-oriented data structures? I’m thinking of b-tree and it’s variants.
> 30kb is completely insignificant.

Also, if you're serving jQuery from one of the major CDNs (as many, perhaps most, sites do), the probability that it's already in the browser's cache is pretty close to 1, in which case the "30kb overhead" is utterly irrelevant.

> There is more to it than "wanting to learn".

Indeed. What about people who just think the new official APIs suck?

Strange as it may seem, there are people who would rather type "$" than "document.querySelector", especially when they're going to be doing it hundreds of times. With respect to "bloat", "$" is one character. "document.querySelector" is 22.
Is this comparable to accelerated learning through apps/media ?

I mean is their a validated study that new age learning tablets/apps are detrimental versus letting someone get bored ?

Would a daily session of yoga+breathing exercises for an hour achieve the same thing as in this article...but without eliminating the value that modern tech might bring ?
I have them, and I download a region on my phone for offline use too.

Despite navigation being very good, I still will invest a couple hours just driving around a new city. Worth it. Having done that, the map is gold.

Over time, I've gotten good by doing that too. I can drop into a city, roam around a bit and get a good feel for the place.

The latter. I support this, but it does no good when no one uses the format. The most prominent databasing effort will not include any additional files. Not even metadata, they're missing the coprocessor firmware required to play games. I wrote about this a few years back here ( https://higan.byuu.org/firmware ), but fair warning it's a bit rantier than my recent articles ^^;

I've just taken a shotgun approach recently: supporting games split into multiple pieces inside folders, games inside ZIP archives, games in merged files to a single ROM, games with external firmware in a separate subfolder, games played by an internal database, games that have an external manifest to describe the PCBs, games played by heuristic detection, and games that fall back on less accurate high-level emulation instead of not booting at all.
YES!! In our family, we call these "stupid little games" and we made up a ton of them.

You look at where you are, what you got, and you play. Those memories are some of my very best.

Ok, we got this can. Who can kick it the farthest! Awesome.

What's wrong with the Xduoo X3?

It works with Rockbox[0], has a monochrome OLED screen, can take 2 MicroSD cards, and has two 3.5mm sockets: one for line out, and one for headphones.

The only thing I don't like about it is the headphone socket, which is prone to fail. It feels tight on insertion/removal, and the extra force can eventually cause it to lose connection with the mainboard.

They cost about $100 new, or half that used.
>"In the case of something like a x86 cluster you need something you can chuck. That is not necessarily true in with a mainframe."

What is meant by "chuck" here? To throw? If so what is the thing thats needs to be chucked exactly in the case of x86 vs mainframe? Thanks.
So true. I'm sad to see so much resistance towards Pebble and e-ink in this thread.

I'm still using my Pebble Time, I love it. I adore only having to charge it once a week and still being able to see the time on it.

Just the fact that anyone can look at my wrist and see the time without shaking it or anything is worth much more than refresh rate and apps for me.

All I need a smartwatch for is to see messages and notifications from my phone.
>If I'm making say $250k a year, I could pay a little bit more in taxes to help the system be sustainable, and also more likely to be there if I do need it.

I'm all for helping those in need and having a safety net, but I don't think what you're advocating for is a realistic solution. Social security is in trouble because it was mismanaged - increasing taxes to offset the burden of mismanagement is a half solution, and likely only a temporary fix. Social security (as well as a multitude of other things) is in its current state because we Americans lack the necessary systems/skills/policies to manage it properly.
Thank you, I will fix that.

I just want to turn this 180 degrees for a second. Imagine yourself having created The App of 2020. It's a social site that has had so many downloads and signups that the web version went down in the third week. You've been front page on HN 4 times since your launch and techcrunch and Wired have been hounding the shit out of you for an interview. You actually had to buy a burner phone because your regular number is currently under siege. Wall Street is already talking about the IPO and Sequoia Capital has actually Sent People to You because they are dying to write you a 9 figure check.... Imagine that.

Are your palms sweating? ...because mine are as I type this.
Doesn't seem to be.
I used to do camera work at my church. We hated when the preachers would move around like her. Just stay in one place please! :-)
I also believe that if you as a parent is going to force your kids into boredom. Reading books or whatever. You as a parent should also join in and read your own book at the same time.

Be a good example.
Trying to create a very patient (and cheap) piano teacher. I realize it will never be a substitute for a real teacher but if it gets me 50% there that's already quite neat. But this is much harder than I thought it would be.
I very strongly suggest you consider an alternative, and that is to use the Internet with them.

You are very significantly underestimating peer pressure for them to be relevant to their peers.

Left unchecked? Very serious rebellion will be breeding.

No joke. Went through it. Won't again.

You should optimize images as well as removing unnecessary JS libraries.

The point is to not send data the user doesn't need. It doesn't matter if you're using 50MB of images, fonts, video, etc in a page... Adding an extra 30kb you don't need is not good for the user. So don't.

(Also don't stick 50MB of assets in a page please.)

Maybe by presenting examples of hidden and public corporate disregard for law in their pursuit of profit. If you don't like the idea of a law as an absolute, maybe the same examples, framed as being against the public good. I want sunion organizers negotiated with, not fired OR murdered. If you're willing to overlook hidden events as "improbable" and public events as "not that bad" I don't really know what would convince such a person.

i totally agree. at the same time, my phone has ~15 2FA accounts right now.

if lose my phone, i can't access any of them. if i change my phone, it will take me hours and hours to change every single one of those accounts.

there must be a middle ground between those two.
Screen time might encompass video chatting with a relative, reading a book on the Kindle app, watching a 2 hour long documentary, watching a 10 minute long tutorial on YouTube, writing an email, editing pictures of one’s vacation, managing one’s finances through a webpage or spreadsheet, etc etc etc.
MAME follows the internal database approach to emulation. The primary issue with this approach is that it does not support homebrew, fan translations, and ROM hacks. If you modify games, checksum lookups fail. For a ROM hack, you could still boot something where the original was in the database by manually specifying the name and accepting the warning (which is fine), but for a new unlicensed / homebrew title, you could only maybe possibly boot it by faking being another very similar game, which feels quite wrong.

I'm not saying the MAME approach is wrong: every approach has its pros and cons, regrettably.
Is that all there is to it, just well supported hardware? Dell didn't configure Redhat in any way, to make better use of the hardware? I'm thinking trackpad, sleep and hibernation, graphics etc.?

How to Jump from a Moving Train Using Science
Andreas Hedqvist: Libra Path to Approval – a quick overview for crypto believers
I built an e-ink clock recently. E-ink has two downsides; the datasheet says that the display will be damaged if it's refreshed more than every 3 minutes (I ignore that and refresh it every minute, so we'll see if it lasts) and the black/white/black refresh cycle is very visually distracting. Having that thing in the field of view just doesn't work.

Both of these issues can be gotten around with a different refresh algorithm, but of course the datasheet doesn't include any of them. The vendors regard their refresh logic as proprietary and so you have to spend months trying to figure out what will work, like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsbiO8EAsGw

Intel does use TSMC for some analog chip manufacturing and such. They even used their services for manufacturing SoFIA Intel Atom x86 CPUs previously.

TSMC is a pure-play foundry which sells wafers to the whole industry.

On 7nm, there's Samsung too making 7nm chips that are actually shipping (in the Note10(+)).
Good point. I would be curious to see what the real load factor increase is.

I must be missing understanding on some part of the picture of why many were so against it. Unless I'm missing something everything but "decompress the file and load the ROM in it" is completely optional to implement and would be no different than how things work with raw ROMs today, what was the push back on?
It's supply and demand. Lots of people want to work on rockets, so SpaceX doesn't need to pay them as much. It actually is the market rate for rocket engineers.
