I'm perhaps going to hit a soft spot here, but parents need to take serious responsibility for their children.

Home school the children!

Take control of the Internet (firewall and DNS) and don't allow access to social media or a smart phone until appropriate age.

Teach the children about these problematic issues so they actually understands why they can't have free access to a smart phone, and what's really bad about the Internet. Make them understand these issues!

Make contact to other people who do the same and let the children's social contacts be with like minded people in real life.

We, and several other families, have done that, and are still doing it, with great success.

> Here’s the good news: you’re not an impostor

Some people are, though. Sometimes, “impostor syndrome” isn’t really a syndrome, but an appropriate way to feel when you’ve been Peter-Principled your way into a position that you’re not competent in.

To be honest, that's a really common ability for most elite chess players, who by the time they are teenagers are already grandmasters and have been playing for the best part of 10 years. Not to deny Magnus is a genius, though.
There's a cheesy saying that applies here. The grass isn't greener on the other side, it's greener where you water it. If your children aren't there most interesting thing you do in your life, then water the grass on that side of the fence. You owe it to them and yourself. Otherwise, why bother having children in the first place? 20+ years and hundreds of thousands of not a million+ invested in a project that just isn't that interesting? What a terrible waste.
No it is not nearly at the same level as "parents burnt alive".
And, for those relatively unusual occasions where I do take Uber, I probably have zero interest in entering into an online bidding competition. And do you really want a system where you're trying to save a few dollars by getting a bid accepted by the most financially desperate drivers?
Just get more and younger wives, then you can have even more kids
A nice idea, but the execution sort of lands on its face, because it completely leaves out to critical things:

The “why” behind the financial advice, and finding the right mentor.
> Foreigners visiting China pay much, much much more than locals.

Some years ago, I had an epiphany on the reverse-equivalent of this: foreigners visiting Switzerland pay exactly the same as locals. And it has pretty much the same effect.
For those who can and cannot have kids: remember the tremendous need in the foster care system! As St James says taking care of orphans is the true religion!
It differs from person to person I guess. For me it is more about learning and understanding stuff. It motivates me more than doing my day to day job, because I encounter completely different domains and problems :)
If you can afford it, get comfortable with delegating. I also have a two and four year old. I have someone come over and do the dishes, laundry, pick up the toys and clean the house a few times a week. It has been a huge relief and now I get to spend way more one on one time teaching and playing with them. I can't say I understand what it's like to be a working Father. I'm a stay at home Mom with with a debilitating disease that can take up a lot of time and energy.
Finding meaning through kids means the kids then need to find meaning. It's kind of like a pyramid scheme.

Another problem is that it makes the assumption that an int is 32 bits. The C89 standard certainly doesn't promise that.

> If you have a medical problem, you go to a doctor.

No, if I have a medical problem _that is serious enough that it is worth the cost_ I go to a doctor. I don't go to the doctor for every cold or headache I get. Granted the OP is actually a case that might be worth that cost, but I've seen similar advice for much smaller things. I mean, I've asked questions about IP for my hobby open source projects, from which I don't expect to ever get a penny, and been told to get a lawyer. Or in this case, say compensation was off the table, is keeping ownership of the project worth hundreds or thousands of dollars for consulting a lawyer? Maybe. Only the OP would know that. And even after consulting a lawyer it's hardly a sure thing.

I'm not saying you should take legal advice from forums. My problem is with the "Always always always talk to a lawyer." Maybe you have enough money to talk to a lawyer every time you have a legal question and see a doctor every time you have any kind of malady, but not everyone does.

And I guess part of my complaint is just that such an important service is so expensive. It leads to a situation where the well off can hire lawyers to consult them on things like employment contracts, but those with less money can't, which makes it easier to exploit them.
Do you have any examples of classes is in critical thinking that might be appropriate? Maybe online self guided lessons or ready-made lesson plans that parents could go over with their children directly? Seems most material in this area is geared towards adult self-improvement
Wow, that really obliterates two major assumptions I had about chess (1) that you can't win without 100% dedication to chess (2) that the skills are highly domain specific and not transferable.
There's this one about unintended consequences: https://unintendedconsequenc.es/blog/

Charisma is telling people what they want to hear. The uncharismatic, pragmatic as they may be, are thus unpopular.

I love vscode but there is this one bug that really irks me. Whenever I close all documents, if I wasn't already looking at the Explorer view - when I activate Explorer, it opens whatever document was highlighted.

Even if I just drag the Explorer panel until it closes and drag to open it again, it does this.

They actually fixed it once, but someone on the vscode team reverted the fix because it was broken for a long time, they like it that way and their personal workflow depends on it - https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/67708

I don't get it. It's a terrible user experience. Switching documents and opening documents shouldn't be conflated with making a side panel visible.
This principle only makes sense if the contributions are funding a common service with a fixed cost. If there is no upper bound on the maximum cost, as is true of corporate profiteering, it is merely extraction with none of the progressive overtones as there is no longer a relationship between what you pay and the common good.

This ignores that ubers and lyfts are a bandaid on our abysmal public transit and are a play by the wealthy to corner the transportation market until they can jack up the price for their own benefit.
The JPEG reference source code is pretty readable.
For statistical purposes, the number of people whose sex and “gender” are not the same is negligible.
Lots of fun epigrams. Little kids have little problems. Big kids have big problems.
>The whole discussion around "rape culture" suggests that a lot of people need to be taught where the boundary is.

They're taught by popular culture and outdated notions of masculine identity that the boundaries don't really exist, or that they're just an obstacle to be overcome. Plenty of popular songs teach men that women should consent to sex if a man is aggressive enough or rich enough, or handsome or gets a woman drunk, etc.

Rape culture sends men the message that consent is defined by what they want, and that they're entitled to sex, and that there's something wrong with women who don't give it to them (and, conversely, something wrong with men who can't get it at every opportunity.)
> A millenium ago when you bought everything haggling in the market, the rich guy was paying 3x as much as everyone else because the vendors knew they could make him. Meanwhile, the impoverished grandmother gets the unsold leftovers for free. (The specifics obviously are made-up, but you get the gist. It's still the same in much of the world today. Foreigners visiting China pay much, much much more than locals.)

Did he though? Or did he send his servant to the market for him and chastise the servant if ever he over-payed by a penny or more?

It's a real stretch to try to add a moral imperative to Uber's price gauging. Speaking of historical references, why don't we mention Uber's history alongside this rich old man of yours?
I gave up on the idea of reliably saving web pages in PDF.

I use now "SingleFile", a Firefox or Chrome extension that helps to save a complete page (with CSS, images, fonts, frames, etc.) as a single HTML file.

This is exactly what the rich need: more protection.

They're just so unfairly treated in the rest of society. It would be so unfair if Uber also discriminated against them.
The trick here is to apply the golden rule and adjust the negative-value (an average-stranger's death) to the equivalent value applied to you (apparently-rich-stranger's death). Then you'll realise the cost of the fine needs to increase proportionally to your wealth (no, I'm not actually a fan of valuing people by their wealth, but you seem to be implicitly arguing for that).
In general, you're using loaded terms that continue the conflation - eg "predator" and "pedophile". Someone looking at child pornography is not a "predator". And someone who is generally attracted to women but tries to chat sexually with 11 year olds because they make for easy targets isn't necessarily a "pedophile".

The point isn't pedantry or to defend any of these people, but rather to avoid succumbing to too-easy explanations. For instance, your mentioning of "image hashes" in response to the topic of "protecting children". Instagram certainly loves that narrative, but it doesn't actually address the topic at hand.

> Why should the only acceptable solution be society retreating behind walled gardens

For the same reason that dropping your kids off in the middle of a city doesn't make for daycare. Greater society inherently involves being robust to normalized ever-present abuse (eg advertising, for one), which requires adult maturity.

All the dialogs in the article are creepy as fuck, but half of them were ultimately just conversation and will likely ignored by law enforcement as inactionable. If you want to prevent those conversations, the only way is to drastically reduce the scope, eg a heavily-curated playground.
Yes, that's what's happening. Apparently hiding the reply link and forcing you to go through a different route is considered to be a compromise that hopefully stops people a bit/causes them to take note without stopping the conversation entirely.
If you actually read the link I gave you, it's the murder victims parents saying there was no suspicious circumstance in their son's murder, and bad actors are using it for their own destructive political narratives.

Like you.

This is why you don't engage conspiracy theorists even causally. If you don't insist that all opinions are evidence-based, literally anything can be true and anything can be false. The car that backfired outside my flat is a gunshot from a deep-state operative and here we go i'm blogging.

> Did Russians hack the DNC? Probably

Perfect example. "Maybe they did, maybe they didn't. We can never know." Yes we can. Unless we want to believe something else, then all it takes is a conspiracy theory about a murdered DNC staffer with no evidence and we have confirmation of what we believed all along. "Who is to say i'm wrong?" Right?

This is a never-ending rabbit-hole of shit that you apparently love to be in, I don't.

America is far from perfect, there is much to criticize of it, but they aren't waging an all-out war on objective reality to keep populations confused and infighting so a corrupt few and keep power. That's Russia. That's increasingly China. And you are gladly helping in their efforts, whether you realize it or not.
> particularly as fuel cost is such as small part of the total?

The current nuclear industry says things like: "Fuel is free!" all the time, and it nearly is. At EDF's fleet, fuel is something like 5% of the total cost. But this is in a world where capital costs have soared. If we're not careful, we can easily make fuel not free. Many advanced reactor companies are running too far with the fuel-is-free mentality and making choices that will inevitably challenge their long-term goals from a fuel cost point of view. Burning HALEU is a perfect example of this, as if you do that, especially in a fast reactor where you need high fissile concentration, you can make fuel more than 50% of total costs. If nuclear scales 10x or more as we need it to for climate change mitigation, the fuel-is-free mantra will break down.

> Isn't this what Nuscale is basically proposing

Pretty much. They're onto something for sure, as far as light-water reactors go. It will be interesting to see how much safety-grade equipment they end up with as the licensing continues.

There is no law in Germany (or anywhere else that I'm aware of) that would compel a company to do this.
I’m using R for a while in my current position, alongside some other programming languages, Python and C++. R is bar far the hardest to predict and read. Rstudio is terrible. It’s a wrapper around a “web app” and that simply doesn’t work well for something as complicated as IDE. To give an example, Rstudio does only one thing at the time, you are running a code, you cannot open a data frame even to look at it. Rstudio doesn’t at all behave likes any other IDE that you’ve seen either. Try to increase the font size and the whole idea scales up!

R by itself is a mess, and I don’t think I have to say much about that. R community is big and that’s good and bad. It’s good because amazing people are developing amazing packages for it. It’s bad because there is a lot of bad packages. It’s a lot like JavaScript community. I have a feeling the community has started to reward “having a package”, and everyone has a package.

Besides the quality of R packages and R being a strange programming language, R gets the job done. However, if your job is anything beyond some statistics and data processing, then good luck. I’m not saying that you cannot achieve what you want to achieve using R, however, good luck reading R code. I found it extremely hard to read R codes and so far 90% of codes that I’ve encountered have little to no comments.
I image most of these 'low level' approaches involve OpenGL which seems to be a bit troublesome on macOS. I can recommend to have a look at webGL, it's basically a limited openGL subset that is called from Javascript. Really easy to get started as it involves no dependencies, compilers, etc. except for (basically any) webbrowser.

Used it for my first graphics related programming project. Was lots of fun and I learned a lot.
I dunno if there's any direct link, but certainly some common advantages from a combination of hard work, lots of reps, pattern recognition, large amounts of self-directed free time, a smart group of people around him, a world class IT infrastructure.
Not a recent book, but Ian Horrocks’ “Constructing the User Interface with Statecharts” (1999) is one of those technical books which presents an idea so clearly but also so different from my usual work that I’m just itching to try it.

The essential thesis of the book is that statecharts (a kind of finite state-machine) is not just a valuable tool for specifying user interface interaction, it is excellent for design and implementation.

What intrigues me about this is how solid the argumentation in the book is and how utterly singular this argument is. There is barely anything else written on this subject. Recently it has gotten popular to talk about state machines again; but this book was released 20 years ago!

All in all the book is an easy read and with a laser focus. Definitely recommended just for the sake of expand horizons.

Yes, this is engineering in a nutshell: determining a course of action within a set of constraints that meets your objectives. Where constraints can be time, cost, physical limitations (processor speed, memory size, disk space), etc; and objectives can be functional (user can edit files), nonfunctional (user can edit large files in < X seconds, energy usage), personal learning, or any number of other requirements.

The GP offered a valid decision point to consider based upon what an engineer is solving for. I don’t think he said that an array was the solution he’d ship in a production text editor to millions of end-users.

Engineering is hardly naive. :)

Right now, I take them because most of the time they're more convenient than cabs. (The one common exception is departing from airports when a line of cabs is right there. I also pre-book cars to and from my home airport.)

That said, absent their price advantages because of subsidies, I don't doubt a more fragmented market would probably arise.

Are you suggesting that it’s bad to use the simple uncomplicated approach because it’s inefficient, or that it’s bad to add layers upon layers of complexity which end up bringing modern computers to their knees?

Personally I’m in the latter camp. There’s so many layers of abstraction nowadays which each in theory make programming better/safer/easier which in practice end up creating an incredibly inefficient mess.
The "five senses" thing in particular traces back to Aristotle, who was a smart enough guy in general but seems to also be the source of a lot of bullshit that's still uncritically repeated over 2000 years later.

Aside from the way his application was rejected, you’d think if the city was valuing the ability of the company underlying the scooter service to provide a stable service, good support and jobs (even if contract work) they wouldn’t put that much faith in a startup with just their series A raised right? I don’t know the economics of these scooter companies, but they must be burning cash to operate and the companies SF ended up choosing have plenty of cash to burn.
I'd answer but I don't want to get banned. Unfortunately the subject of this article is begging to be discussed because the corporate world that we are all a part of is structuring itself to fix a "problem" by essentially denying human nature in favor of some unsubstantiated tabula rasa propaganda that has been fed to at least two generations of westerners. And websites like HN really feed into the status quo, likely unintentionally, by flagging related comments/articles and banning accounts which discuss the so called anathema.

People are touchy about the subject because, for feminists in particular, this is a heavily moral issue and the alternative view may indicate that, yes, women really are on average less suited for many technical pursuits, a conclusion which some people are simply unwilling to accept, even though such an assertion actually says little about individuals. I guess when you're heavily invested in an identity, you take anything that might paint the identity negatively rather personally.
Wow, that was hard to read (so much so that I couldn't read much of it, had to skim). Horrific.

A human can learn something through a fairly small amount of specific knowledge via written, verbal, etc instruction.

All the data and the training process together are very clunky in comparison.

IE, an inability to be taught by others is a serious limitation to say the least.
I'm not sure that's true, when comparing cities to towns (and parent specifically mentioned this was a city-centric view of kids.)

While there is less crime, there is a lot less space for kids to just run around, mostly because there's cars everywhere, which are obviously extremely unsafe for kids.
You could list any two random things and say "yes those two things suck". If one person got mugged and another was short on bus fare, yes both would suck, but the comparison is wildly out of proportion. Not only is the impact much different, but the whole context is different. And it's especially frustrating and inappropriate when it's used to downplay an important issue.
