When I was first taught fractions in primary school, the teacher had a bunch of rods of equal length. Each rod was divided into segments of different colours. Each segment could be "fractured" off the rod because they were attached by magnets. I think they went from 1 to 10 or so segments.

This allowed for a great visual (and tactile) illustration of how fractions work. 1/2 + 1/4? No worries, just break off some pieces and add them together. Then you can compare the length to various other configurations, and you can viscerally experience that 3/4 really does equal 6/8.

I don't know whether this is a standard way of teaching fractions, or whether this teacher was particularly motivated or whatever. But it made a lasting impression on me. Thanks, miss Annie.
It's also used quite extensively for data visualisation roles that D3 has traditionally been king of, in fact often alongside D3's libraries for calculating axis tick marks, colour scales, etc. To that end, you actually do end up with thousands of DOM nodes quite often.

I don't think you need to bring quantum computing into the picture. For example "naturally" 3D printing a Mango takes a few years. Just drop a seed in the right place on earth and wait. Isn't that computing on the substrate of the universe?

Are you asking if nature can be coaxed into doing it in a few seconds or a day? Or maybe you are not bothered about time and want to drop in that seed and grow a chair? The answer is probably yes to both. It will just take some time to get there. I don't think quantum computing will be required but who knows...

Language-Parametric Methods for Developing Interactive Programming Systems
The rules may not be perfect but they can adopt to imperfections. Practitioners are not expected to do things not required by law.

Police officers and soldiers are interesting in that they are expected to behave ethically even for things that there is no specific rule for. Police are much more lenient on their own so in reality inappropriate or unethical behavior has no consequence with soldiers it depends, do something inhumane to a POW, maybe nobody cares, associate with criminals and cheat(sexually) with other soldiers partners then even if there is no rule you might get discharged 'dishonorably' (they are expected to be honorable which often implies ethics). Cops might also run into situations where what is happening is legal but inaction might reasonably result in harm, so I think the ethical thing is to break the law and face consequences. They might also see something illegal (like other cops' crimes) and it might be legal to overlook that but unethical still. The key here is they are both given much power and leeway,they are expected to behave in a way that reflects the trust which includes ethical and honorable behavior.

In your truck driver scenario, the truck driver either did kr did not break the rules. Was it unethical if he lived far away? For him, no. For management that perhaps knowing the risks allowed the practice then they might have been unethical.
Ask HN: Where to start with enterprise-level security and procedures?
I'm the only developer on a small web application that is targetting enterprise customers.

After meeting with our first client's security team it's clear that we don't have any of the procedures in place that these clients are used to vendors having with regard security and oversight.

While our app and infrastructure has been built with common-sense security and best practises, we haven't put in place things like vulnerability scanning, anti-malware, patch management procedures etc.

Where and how can a developer like myself get started with

1. Understanding the length and breath of _what_ exactly we should be implementing from a security standpoint

2. Actually implementing it

3. Documenting procedures

We're not discussing evolution. You're changing the subject.

As human beings we recognize our ability to discern right from from wrong, just from unjust,cruel from humane and correct from incorrect. Knowing there is a risk of something incorrect that will result in an unjust,cruel and inhumane outcome, if you proceed with that action you are considered unethical. If the same outcome happens as a result of nature, other humans or by choice of the person/animal then it was not your decision or responsibility. The fact that other actors or nature might cause the same outcome does not absolve you of the decisions you make right?

Wonder why math is such a problem. Growing up in the Ukrainian school system I was doing very well in math for 3 years and was doing double exams in the span of one.

Moved to the US, math was easier and it kinda fell off. Was back to Ukraine for some time, but it was never the same afterwards, and now I have the same math anxiety many other people do.

I'm sure there are going to be downvotes from people who really like his music and his whole persona, but this just proves the point that music is an extremely powerful cultural force.

Yeah, no one is clearly saying "we won't work on this and if you do, we won't accept a pull request" but instead "we currently don't know how to do it", meaning that if they figure out a way to do it, it'll happen at one point, either from 3rd party or themselves.

I totally agree on this.

> assuming you aren't doing anything weird like blocking on layout in one of them.

An assumption that react cannot make.

React's core promise is to make app developers lives easy, not to be performant. Performance is atrocious on the web in general, yet here it is as (one of?) the most dominant app development platforms.

With that easiness what you get is plenty of horrible (from a performance perspective) applications that get their jobs done. Some even very elegantly on many other metrics.

> Let's aim for frameworks that are in the ballpark of peak raw performance

That is a nice aim, but performance can be traded for other things. Immutable data structures will never be as performant as mutable ones, yet plenty of people make the conscious decision of using the former.

I see React's approach similary. I've built plenty of web applications in my life, and very rarely did (non-network) performance become a significant issue. As you said, computers are so powerful nowadays that most people (even devs!) cannot even comprehend it at an intuitive level.

It is always the app's logic, changing business requirements, etc. that bite me in the ass. I want tools that make that part easier. React is definitely one of those tools today. And if they found a way to keep the easiness while being better performance-wise then... yay!
I don't doubt it. Hopefully the damage will be limited. Maybe better wages are possible when things get better. Not many people can sleep on a bus though. having two sleep deprived drivers might not be that much better than one.

After going though the education of two children who like math very much I realize that fractions on their own are very natural.

It is their addition which is not, as it does not have any obvious counterpart in simple nature.

I had a math teacher at the university who told us once "there is a neat trick which is normally taught next year but is useless by then and super useful today. Just use it without too much thinking."

This is my reasoning too, I showed them the always working way to add fractions (cross multiplication) and hope that someday they will appreciate the beauty of the thing.

Ethos Capital (little bit too much like 'tethics') was formed in 2019 so nobody knows. Their headquarters is in Mauritius [1][2]. They could even be cool for a bit and then sell it to someone worse, though it isn't looking good as there was some insider finagling [3].

The problem is '.org' is in the private equity game now and when you go down that path, value is extracted and entities end up stripped of assets, loaded with debt and eventually stagnate. Private equity investment does not invest for community goodwill, it is a value extraction mission. Even if it is for investment, as much value or growth that can be extracted before it is available for investment is the modus operandi see Softbank with WeWork, Uber etc. You can see Ethos Capital goals and history where again creating returns and value extraction is the only goal. [4][5] Since it is a new entity there is very little ability to predict what this firm does or will do with their investment targets.

If this is the new game in TLDs then there could be some price collusion incoming, meaning more expensive for small/medium/institutions that are trying to compete or do public good.

This might be amazing - depending on how you plan to do integrations with different service, indexing and caching. Adding new services should be really easy from both user and developer side (well, depending on the service). How do you plan to do indexing? On the go or when connected? And how do you plan to include authorisation levels?

Also do you plan to cache some documents that are often searched? I assume there's a 20% of documents that's searched 80% of the time in each organisation and part of the 20% rapidly changes (so there's a decline of the 20% with information constantly incoming but for simplicity let's leave it at that).

Is there a possibility you will perform "auto tagging" on documents? (by channels on slack, folders on drive, people involved, project names, basically any meta info that might allow to narrow down the serarch?)

Also, I hope you're gonna have a self-hosted version, since I believe that may be a make-or-break for many orgs.

Besides all this, awesome, you found a dope problem to solve, this might be huge!
> But everybody already knows that laws aren't perfect.

Do they really? I'd argue the complete opposite and indeed my main reasoning for writing the original comment.

The biggest destinations on Earth for money laundering all hypocritically accept the money without shame, all Western countries with strong legal systems, so why is this occurring? Many of them proudly proclaim how much they are against money laundering. Do you know how complicit those governments are at virtually all levels happily accepting the illegal money that clearly is flowing into their suburb/state/nations?

The rest of the world begs these places to please stem the tide of illegal funds or at the very least investigate the people spending this cash and yet nothing happens. Corrupt Russian real estate purchases in London is basically a joke for locals now. A common joke. Are Londoners not complicit in this? Or is there enough separation to wipe their hands clean?

Very eager to hear your defense given the site we are on and the decent chance you have personally benefited from your own governments intentional willingness to ignore the huge amounts of corrupt, illegal money flowing into the west in the last few decades. Laundering into the West funds entire industries built around it and the blatant complicity from regulators/homeowners is on show for all to see.

You need more identification to get a library card than buy a house here. Does that not strike you as strange?

My own example: the biggest real estate purchase in Australia happened years ago, a massive mansion in Sydney, it was on the front of most newspapers, including the biggest newspaper read by millions. We only just discovered it was illegal despite many suggesting it at the time. The property has now been confiscated by the government years later. The owner simply fell foul of the government rather than any real insistence on justice or some sort of semblance about money laundering, it simply doesn't register for most.

Sydney, Vancouver and London are all singled out as the main destinations on Earth for clearly illegal money, The Australian government has sat on proposals for basic laws to ascertain ownership of the money for well over a decade at the behest of the real estate industry to not investigate this stuff.

Hopefully I had a decent crack at one of your points there.

But that said you didn't answer my "strawman", so here's the question again:

> Given the chance would you personally help Alan Turing avoid punishment for the law he broke that resulted in his chemical castration and ultimate death?

Simple yes or no suffices here.

Not all laws are good, not all criminals are bad people. These things are gray at the best of times.
Can you link to any source giving details on this? I don't know of any mechanism that can protect individual bits from flipping without dedicating a serious amount of space to redundancy. And it doesn't align with my personal experience either: I had a bit flip in a Jpeg image this year. Fortunately I was able to restore it from backup.
No, that's not at all what I'm saying. I argue for people to change their inveterate, cargo cult ways of thinking about what constitutes work and the conditions required for it.

We need a new mindset not new government policy. That change can't and must not be mandated but has to come from each and everyone of us.

I would also never connect smart TV to the internet. Years ago we purchased dumb plasma TV and set up a Linux box on older PC. The main part is Kodi (XBMC) which has addons for various online services + we have Tvheadend on another box for satelite and DVB-T2 recording. All two DVB-T2 muxes we are receiving are also sent multicast on the LAN using dvblast. Kodi can be controlled via an app on the smartphone or it's web interface. This has been working for years, some maintenance was needed but I am happy with it and don't plan changing it. This TV box is also a Kubernetes worker node for light workloads :D but that's another story.

Intel owns their own manufacturing process so they can crank out more volume than TSMC can on the smaller process nodes. TSMC Has a roadmap to 3nm by 2023, Intel is looking at 7nm by 2021.

Unless Intel manufactures on TSMC's line, AMD will have a clear, near double to triple performance advantage for the next 2 generations. You're going to see Intel become the value brand for awhile and they're trying to avoid that because they are used to a cash cow.
... Or the doctor in question could just have moved to Dewsbury, in West Yorkshire.

(n the mid-1980s I made an early career mistake and qualified as a pharmacist. I did my pre-registration work at the -- now closed -- district hospital in Dewsbury, a Yorkshire town of roughly 60,000 people. Dewsbury is in a steep valley and the working-class population tended not to travel: according to an older relative who worked there all his life, he knew co-workers who had been born, worked, lived, and retired in Dewsbury without ever travelling more than ten miles away from their birthplace. (Automobiles didn't really become a mass-cultural phenomenon there until the 1950s-1960s.) Cue lots of first-cousin marriages. During the 1970s, a Pakistani immigrant community arrived ... also from an isolated mountain valley town that didn't have much time for exogamy.

The hospital serving a city of 60,000 people shouldn't have a 30-bed cystic fibrosis ward (CF is an inborn error of metabolism) ... but Dewsbury needed one. (CF has a frequency of roughly 1 in 3000 in Northern Europe, so you'd expect 20 living cases in a town the size of Dewsbury: but they wouldn't need hospital beds simultaneously! The local frequency was much higher.) Nor should it have exotic conditions like familial hypobetalipoproteinaemia showing up in the population. Again, Dewsbury had that. In fact, Dewsbury was so notorious for genetic disorders that house officers and registrars training in the relevant fields got rotated there from the big teaching hospitals in Leeds (the nearest big city).

Upshot: if you get geographically isolated communities with religious cultures that discourage exogamy, you get really weird genetic disorders cropping up within surprisingly few generations.
The moralising about it doesn't make much sense. In other professions, it's not "lying" or "dishonorable" to present your work in the most clear and understandable way to others, it's a basic condition for entry. I don't see how software's any different.
