>Consider how willing you would be to hold your wrist up in front of you for 30+ seconds.

I'm likely an outlier as I keep it in front of my face for 2-3 minutes at a time when playing games, but I admit that it's a limited use scope, and my raised arm is usually supported in some way.

After a week of inital usage, the more quick interactions I discover, the more I like the watch. But when that fades, I'll at least be left with the ability to read full Wikipedia articles and browse Reddit, thanks to 3rd party apps.
The argument used to justify this racism is that a rich education requires exposure to diverse people and ideas, and so the educational mission of the school requires that they bring in sufficient numbers of otherwise-underrepresented racial groups. If they can't do this, they say, they won't be able to give their students a good education.

Do they present any evidence to support this claim? I'm only aware of studies like that of Robert Putnam showing that diversity is extremely detrimental to community engagement and cohesion, among many other things.
I went to a meetup focusing on Blazor recently and was really surprised when I found out that Blazor is not "run C# in a browser using WASM" like I thought, but was instead "use your browser as a thin client to C# on the backend". The whole time I was thinking "but why??".

The WASM side of it is really interesting for me as a Xamarin proponent, because it has the potential of true single shared-codebase between mobile and web. I'm not sure why I would use Blazor right now though.
Couldn't agree more. It is highly unpredictable. We tend to get antsy about the entry level jobs and quickly jumping to some conclusion where if you're currently doing the toppings at Domino's pizza by hand and Domino's replaces you with this machine, that you suddenly will have nothing to do but go home and lay on the couch all day while being unemployed.

There are many things someone in such a situation may decide to do next and that "next" thing for that person is what could be unpredictable. And if tens of thousands of these people were replaced over a several year period, each of them making individual decisions about what to do next, it is hard to say where they all end up. We simply don't know.
>in general society has settled on 40 hour weeks as a good number. There is no legal law making it best, but considering the compromises it isn't a bad number.

It might be a bad number going forward, considering the widening income/wealth divides.

I am a bit surprised nobody mentioned MySQL 5.7 had Generated Columns yet. Any difference between these two?
Legacy admissions make sense to me even if it's unfair. Half of the experience of a university is the student body. I think it's completely acceptable for a university to allocate a certain percentage of the student body to legacies or children of wealthy donors because they can provide networking opportunities to other students.

I think this is no different from what Harvard has been accused of with their race-conscious admissions where it seems harder for Asian students to get in than White, Black and Latino students. While practices of admittance that include anything other than merit are unfair for the individual student, this makes sense for the university to build its own image for prospective students, and its image for employers looking to recruit college grads. Students don't want to go to schools that don't have diversity and employers are looking for diversity.

University is not just about the academic lessons taught inside the classroom, or building a qualification for a career. Some of the most important lessons are taught between and outside the classroom like the social skills required to build study groups or the management skills to be in the leadership of a club. There are also meta-social learning in the abilities to socialize with people from different backgrounds in various levels of formality.

Privilege: The Making of an Adolescent Elite at St. Paul's School by Shamus Rahman Khan talks about how in prestigious college prep schools, students learn similar social traits from an environment that shapes them into what is received as a successful elite student.

As far as the educational system goes, I could care less about how the most elite schools go about admissions because it effects such a small amount of the population, and degrees only affect the first job of your career except if you are trying to get into med school or law school. What's more important to me is the failure of the public educational system to provide literacy when teachers are taught to use methods that harm the ability to learn phonics. https://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2018/02/12/582465905/the-gap... What is also important to me is the impact of one bad teacher to ruin a child's belief that they can learn math or a learn a new language or music or just their own self esteem. One of the biggest problems in American schooling is that when a teacher fails accreditation to teach high school or middle school, they generally are able to teach elementary school. Teachers that do not know how to teach a given subject should not be put in front of students at more formative years where damage to an academic self-image can be more significant and impactful.

Ideally a college education would not be required for most of the workforce. Sadly our standards for a k-12 education have fallen due to a lack of care to find how to best teach students and a working environment for teachers that does not attract teaching talent or understanding of how to teach, and allows for mediocrity. There are great teachers in the system, but many of them are burning out due to long hours of teaching, grading, and re-accreditation and low pay.
AMD doesn’t support 8K monitors under Linux. I agree, NVIDIA has far better usability for most users. The fact that it’s a binary blob means nothing to anyone who isn’t an OSS activist.
Yeah, in the middle of the ocean the only governmental/law enforcing body that really exists is the ship's captain. Beyond that, people can do whatever the hell they want because there's no one else for miles.

Also, no, the world is not going to stop fishing because a few people on HN think it's a good idea. Trying to enforce your own sense of morality on others is pointless.

In Django it's literally a matter of adding 5 lines of code to enable the redis cache. The complexity is in actually setting up the Redis server, but this can also be trivial in many cases.
> I was happy to learn it’s still there! Now you do a long tap on the space bar to activate it.

It's not though. The feature implemented with haptic touch only lets you long press on space bar and move the cursor. You have to use a second finger to start selection and control the bounds, and it's far less accurate.

With 3D touch, you could press down once to start cursor mode, again to start selection, and again to stop. You could also reset the selection while staying in cursor mode. I was able to, quite frequently, change entire sentences and edit text really efficiently with a single hand holding the phone. That's impossible now.

I'd be really happy if Apple went back and improved the spacebar cursor system, but right now it's objectively worse as it requires two fingers rather than one to select text.
That is a nice idea indeed. I'll have to look into it. I'm always a bit concerned about vibration in games since you don't know how intense it will be on different devices: it can be very tacky if it is over-the-top.
It's also worth noting China's effort to apply some of these same principles in the shape of their massive Belt & Road project, and the unintended consequences of trying to force "free" trade using planned market tactics:

I believe there was a HN discussion on the article when it came out.
The cynic in me might think that corporates getting behind "pious" things like banning plastic drink straws allows them to avoid other more costly changes they should make.

Also banning straws does impact disabled people who as usual are often ignored.
> I imagine in both cases the ships would just have a boat meet them out at sea with additional nets so they either don't need to pay the fine for nets lost or don't need to buy expensive certified nets.

I don't think they would go through that much trouble just for not bringing a net back home. In any case, you could also put an ID or name on a net, just like a license-plate.

Also, having nets without certification would be a crime, so that boat waiting at sea would be in problems if caught.
Those 4 may be remote only, but there are many others on there that have remote positions.
At least in PG, a regular view must calculate everything at read time, which might mean a lot of duplicated calculations, and a materialized view has to be refreshed "manually", it doesn't auto-update piecemeal when the underlying data changes.

Sometimes it's through reading comments on how others use the apps that I discover a new way to use it. I thought Maps was restricted to looking at a map and zooming in and out.
That's true - It's definitely not "classic" open source - but I wonder if it still could have most of the benefits of open source, while still being able to push an agenda.
This is brilliant! I've put hours in to Desert Golf, and this is an improvement on every level.

In particular, I find it much more relaxing that Desert Golf, which I think comes down to a couple of factors. The design is one – the cute graphics and colours really help. Music is another – you've done a great job there.

I think the most important bit is the gameplay though – with not showing the score constantly, I'm not as worried about trying to keep my stroke count as close as possible to the hole number constantly. The gravity dynamic also adds enough whimsy that I don't feel like I "absolutely should have got a hole in one" like I did on some holes in Desert Golf.

All in all, great job! Instant purchase from me and I think I'll be spending a lot of time with it.
Out of curiosity, do you risk rodent infestations using those? I would imagine rodents/bugs happily eat most human food, cheese puffs included, so if this is literally the same won't it suffer rodent risk?

I think the turning point for him was his excellent presentation in the first youtube broadcast of cs231. If I remember correctly he was getting seven-figure offers before he even graduated from Stanford. I do not know him personally and I doubt I will ever meet him but we did compete for the same position at Tesla and I lost to a very worthy opponent. my only regret is that the final interview would have been with Elon Musk himself and I would have loved to meet him.

I don't know. Maybe. I am just talking about the experience of seeing a person's face every day, looking them in the eye, making small talk, interacting with other customers in the bank. That kind of every day stuff has value.

I think we can mourn our losses while also looking forward to the new opportunities created. It doesn't have to be all good or all bad.

Anyway, I'm not sure I completely understand your comment. Are human bank tellers impeding people from using "more complex financial instruments"?

Much of the coverage of YouTube's demonetization algorithm has it framed as censoring or curbing LGBT speech, presumably because LGBT issues are controversial. I think it's much more likely that hateful anti-lgbt videos contain these terms much more frequently, which in turn causes these terms to be more aggressively policed by YouTube's algorithm. Enough videos talking about how the queers are ruining society or other hateful content, and it's pretty much inevitable that these terms are likely to cause demonetization.

Ultimately, there's a trade-off to be made. YouTube could make their algorithm less strict, but then more objectionable content would monetized. YouTube doesn't want to go through another wringer of public criticism for it's advertising. The lawsuit filed by content creators is going nowhere. YouTube has blanket policies like not monetizing any videos with firearms, they are under zero obligation to monetize LGBT content.

TL;DR:

You can be registered in your own company as a manager on the minimum wage, pay a fixed sum of social insurance every month (~100 EUR), and then basically set aside 15% of your invoices income for tax, and the rest is yours.

Any good ones? I use Cmder (ConEmu based) a lot, but I do notice the issues from time to time.
Thanks. The goal of this project was to actually get something out there, so I deliberately set myself quite a small goal. I probably got "80%" of the way there in 2-3 weekends back in March, then I got busy with some other stuff. I didn't want to let this become another project that falls to the wayside, so I then spent another ~6 weekends polishing, refining, etc in the last 2 months. It was a great learning experience, and I would 100% recommend making a game. It's such an interesting mix of programming, animation, design, art, sound.
I tried it out for a side project and I loved it. I've written more C# than javascript, but I think that web development is a mess. I've used Angular, Vue, and React, and, to me, they all have the same problems. They're not bad, but they all depend on npm, tons of packages, and stuff like webpack, which I wish I didn't have to understand, but it sometimes breaks my project. I am also opposed to coding a backend in JS.

I tried making a game using blazor. Think something like the Jackbox TV games. A room gets created, then people join, and then play together real time (not a 3d game, something that could be done with html/css). It was surprisingly easy. Lots of things I did that I didn't expect to work did. There was pretty much no boilerplate code. I wasn't creating models on the backend and on the frontend, and then writing an api so that they could communicate. I didn't have to use JSON anywhere.
I haven't finished the game because I started working on something else though, using flutter.

I don't expect people use JS on the backend to convert. Or people who have a ton of experience with something like React. But I think it is awesome. It removes everything I hate about web development. All of the other frameworks for web development that I have used have felt like putting makeup on a pig. Blazor felt like a step in the right direction.

It seems like the support from MS is there for now. You have to be aware of the limitations depending on whether you pick server or client side Blazor. I think the limitations are pretty insignificant for the most part though. I doubt Blazor takes over the web, but I hope that something similar will one day.

The SPARC CPU was designed to make use of this. Alignment checking was enabled by default, the tagged add/sub instructions required that the tag in the lower two bits for an integer was 0, tags for pointers were expected to be 3.

Why not just always set the pointer to NULL after free is called in it? It would be fantastic if the operation is atomic as well but even if it isn't I like doing it. Freed address is not something you ever want to just again anyway.
