The current power structures are responsible for climate destruction that means many of our children will be forced to spend their lives in an Earth worse than what their parents experienced. Meanwhile, the leaders of those power structures have taken no responsibility, no change of course, and instead have enriched themselves more and more.

The fundamental premise of society is that power comes with responsibility. Today we see billionaires, world leaders, and autocrats amassing ever more power while demonstrating no responsibility.

Is it any surprise people want to tear it all down even if they don't know what they want instead?
Silent or noisy, makes no difference. Agents of the state yield only to force. Words are not an effective strategy. The state itself is a parasite that feeds on the blood of the people. Speaking to an agent of the state is about as useful as asking a mosquito not to bite you.
Is that a regional thing? I was under the impression they just popped up every now and then, though I've never heard of any except in stories on Reddit. Don't think I heard anyone mention that it only occurs in a certain climate, and we do have airplanes so it's bound to spread to any place it can.

That said, I would totally buy a second hand mattress. People buy used clothes all the time, isn't that similar? Could contain anything (including bed bugs, the top ddg hits seem to suggest).
I think you are reading a lot into my comment that isn't there. I don't know exactly why women fifty years ago made the decisions that they did. You don't, either.
In highschool I worked at a pet food store, around 1pm everyday someone would drive behind our store dropping pet food to feed the crows. A neighbour thought we were doing it and was really upset, telling us they hated the crows and all the noise they made.

Anyhow, a week or two later, I heard all the crows in the back and heard a loud 'bang'. I thought the neighbour had grabbed a shotgun and shot a crow, so I went out back to investigate. After looking around I saw that a crow laid dead next to a power transformer up on a telephone pole.

At first there was one other crow cawing loudly. Then more and more crows showed up. They took turns flying up and pecking at the dead crow. Within an hour, there was probably 100 crows, in all the trees, powerlines and on apartment buildings nearby.
It really impressed on me how social crows were, obviously the 'caw'ing was such that it called all the crows, and crows much have told other crows as well. You could almost say they were mourning the crow or perhaps learning how this one crow died.

It would be really interesting examining the communication patterns of crows, they have such control over their voice, they must be able to do some complex communication.
I was mostly ok with compojure, but ring was driving everyone mad for big applications with lots of wrappers and handlers, with exploding complexity as APIs grew.

Pedestal, on the other hand, is offering compact single data structure with linear complexity increase, plus very neat async functionality out of the box.

As for fulcro3, I have chosen it first because it was kind of successor of om.next, and in om.next I was in love with its transactional data model and all that pull syntax, - fulcro3 turned out to be even better with that.

I was and am still using reagent for simpler setups, but query language and transactions is what helps to keep sanity with larger projects.
This. The basic stuff they did back then didn't magically inflate. Except, it seems from afar that thats exactly what happened. But it didn't, and it doesn't have to look like that from afar.
“In addition to all of these services that respond, we’re also taking a look at how you reduce some of the stress in the system — how you ensure that people don’t get to a place where they feel burned out,” says Katsoudas.

To address this, Cisco is currently offering its employees a five-session course designed to enhance concentration, resiliency and creative thinking, where participants learn simple cognitive strategies and engage in mental training exercises to optimize their performance at work.

I remember wishing for something like this when I started working in Illustrator after using things like rainmeter and hand-writing SVG code for ages. Of course, I don't have the patience or dedication to implement that sort of thing.

I'll definitely give it a go if I find the time. I love the idea.

If you could make it work with LaTex you could probably find some happy users in IEEE / ACM type communities that would use it for drawing figures in research publications. However, it probably won't take on unless it's made open-source (most researchers are on tight budgets already!)
They should open source the Basic 7.1 compiler and push to make it cross-platform. It was procedural, but super fast. Also not interpreted. It compiled and linked, just like a C compiler.

That okcupid stats blog was great, here’s a thread on reddit where someone archived them: https://www.reddit.com/r/gwern/comments/aapn1l/okcupid_blog_...

To sum up for parent: in okcupid’s data, women considered attractive but not super hot got fewer messages than women who were less conventionally attractive but had more polarizing photos. In other words for most women it’s a better strategy to play up a look/feature that’s unique but potentially alienating than it is to be generically attractive.
This sounds similar to a part time job I had while in college (15+ years ago). Caveat: I was already a programmer (studied computer science in college). I was hired as a part time student programmer at this place. The hiring manager that gave me the offer either transferred to another department or was on leave (can't remember which now), either way, I basically hadn't seen him during the entire 7 months or so I worked there. His subordinate was the only person who had any idea I was even there and could give me any work. He would give me some simple task of writing up some documentation or code some simple demos using some libraries, every once in a while. Everything I did over those 7 months amount to about 1 week of work for me. Every time he gave me a task, I would finish within a few hours, and there wouldn't be anything else for me to do for the next couple of weeks. I was a student at the time so I was able to spend most of my work hours doing homework or programming assignments for classes. If it was a full time job I would definitely do what you do, tinker with AWS, code up projects, etc.
you seem to draw a clear line between what you think is acceptable and what is not (mass, open, profit-driven surveillance = bad; local, secure, personal camera = ok), so i'm not sure why you're torn?

in any case, that seems to be a good delineation. one further issue to consider is the capture of spaces/property other than your own. cameras should be pointed at your property only, and not used to generally surveil public spaces (legal but icky) or other private property (legally murky).
What's your basis for saying that?
Perhaps. Protests aren't exactly revolts, and revolts aren't exactly revolutions. Until people start banding together in distinct geographical locations and drawing up alternative systems of government (or skipping straight to direct, but loosely organized, physical opposition to the existing government) it seems likely it can be contained and ideally, addressed.

That said, the current connected world has probably reduced the available reaction time between each stage of escalation, so getting complacent wouldn't be advisable.
I am talking about relative levels of sexism in the present, not in the 60s and 70s.
Right, that's why I mention it.
I would probably believe that if we weren't talking about software.

But software is, what, less than a century old? What possible evolutionary differences could have risen in that time frame?

I mean, the number zero is very unintuitive and the ancient Romans/greeks/chinese/whatever didn't discover it, despite the fact all evidence shows they were very smart in many things.

Yet you want me to believe that men understand that arrays are zero based better than women.

Apply that to any software principle.
>Every time I read these threads, I'm 1. Flattered by how sophisticated HN thinks our systems are (they're not. and we're not that smart. FB's A-team stopped working on ads a long time ago)

>2. Entertained by how HN thinks ad targeting works (we don't want to know everything about YOU. we want to know basic info about all of our users.)

That's odd, then why does Facebook show me targetted ads based on my whatsapp and messenger conversations, youtube videos I watch, websites I browse, and places and people that are nearby me when I'm signed into Facebook on my phone

Not to be rude, but your post seems like a lot of bullshit just based on things i've seen Facebook do too many times to call it a coincidence.

>There's no meaningful business value to capturing biometrics or pictures of things in your home.

This is just straight bullshit. Those things are a direct window into finding out exactly what people buy, pretty much the solid gold, diamond encrusted wet dream of advertisers.

There's a wealth of information available regarding differences in men and women. The answer is all around you and affects every interaction you have with the opposite sex.

1.Brain scans showing differences in structure and/or function, used to identify transgenderism

2. Physical sexual dimorphism, which through a lifetime of social interaction can lead to different average behaviors (like growing up being stronger/weaker than 50% of the population)

3. Different concentrations of and responses to behavior altering hormones (testosterone/estrogen in particular)

4. Millions of years of evolutionary specialization through sexual dimorphism

5. Consistent differences in performance on various psychological aptitude tests (e.g. men and women have different average scores in spatial reasoning tests)

This is only a partial list, and I won't put the effort into citing any of this but it's all a Google search away, if you're willing to accept the unpopular but, IMO, glaringly obvious opinion and actually look for it. Of course there is also a well established bias in academia and the subject is sort of off limits, except in the case of transgender studies.

At the very least one shouldn't be so quick to immediately scream discrimination when there are so many alternative explanations rooted in genetics.
Of course. Why sell it once, when you can keep renting it out forever?

"header only" is C-speak for "up and running in 15 seconds" more or less. One major concern with integrating a new dependency in C land is how much of a pain in the ass it makes your build, especially considering a large chunk of C projects do not target typical desktop environments. After the first time you lost a day trying to get some batshit custom build tool to emit the correct link flags for your exotic ARM board, "header only" carries a lot of weight.

On the intermixing of source and header files, it doesn't quite work the way you mentioned. It's not possible to just cut-paste any old public object definition into a header file without at least applying 'static' to it, and that only works where the object truly is private to each translation unit. It's not so easy e.g. to instantiate a global variable shared across the whole program this way, so 'header only' also implies 'almost certainly free of globals', which is a good sign of hygiene

edit: yikes, in this case, the implication is totally invalid

One of the foundational myths of America is that there is no social class but wealth.

I suspect that it was never true, though having spent some time in the UK, it is more true in America by far.

However, social class still exists here.

Case in point: to certain groups of people, Donald Trump represents what they think of as a "regular guy" with tons of money. He's "rich", but not "elite" in their minds.

To other people, he looks like a "low class" rich guy -- which sounds very similar, but is the negative-on-Trump view of the same basic notion.

(I'm taking a risk using Trump as an example, because he is so polarising that some folks might read this and think I'm either praising or attacking him. I'm not. I have an opinion, which I will not share here. But Trump is an example of someone in the highest wealth category without being in the highest social class, according to both many supporters and many detractors.)

Copyright doesn't have to be defended. Until it expires, someone holds it and whoever does has the right to control the licensing.
I think by "customer" you mean "a certain kind of customer." Apple prioritizes their customers, who largely buy one device at a time and use recent, actively developed software, as opposed to customers who buy software licenses in bulk and sometimes need to run decade-old unsupported software. In the courses of this, they've attracted a lot of enterprise customers as well, but those customers aren't buying desktop software, because they're aware of Apple's development model.
Appears to be missing "Microsoft Delta" version control system.

Also Microsoft's pre-Excel spreadsheet offering, "Microsoft Multiplan".

Also missing Xenix.

Isn't clear how they define "product". For example Cardfile is listed but that was never a standalone product just a program bundled with Windows. If they are going to include discontinued Windows components, there are a lot of those. (And discontinued components or features of other products too, like Office or SQL Server.)

I prefer it when render functions are pure and just render. Given some input, produce html that can dispatch some messages.

Deal with the state somewhere else. I don't want to have to reason about when a component mounts, how many ways it could trigger things, that will cause itself to render again and trigger more unexpected things.

Why did a component mount? Maybe the route changed, well I will just fetch data where I handle that event. Maybe I got an API response, well guess what I can do stuff right there.

All I had to do was let go of the idea of "component". I know, we need to make layers, and isolate modules, separation of concerns. But "components" are unsatisfactory for me, because all I ever got was implicit dependencies. Sure this component deals with his own data, and its children do the same, but somewhere, they DO have to talk to each other at same point, always. The component depends on the user, or user's list of thingies, and bam I've smeared it all across all of them. Because I'm building an application, not a component catalog.

Also testing is a PITA. I think most of the time it's useless to test a component without the whole app, and then it's an integration test, but you really want an e2e test by then.
>Good comedy is easier than good drama

I highly disagree. Good comedy, especially one that stands the test of time (and not just wit du jour) is hard.

I thought I couldn't disagree more, but I actually do.

From Leslie Nielsen to George Carlin, a lot of my favorite comedians were grey-haired, old people.
Heres the real question. Is it more safe. The answer is,not really. We already have the ability to create complex locks.

>Actual evidence consistently shows that mild penalties with a high probability of enforcement are most effective at maximizing compliance.

I find it hard to believe that mild penalties are more effective deterent than high penalties and high enforcement.

I'm not sure why the Netherlands is even included in the list. There have been some protests against specific government policies, but not an attempt to overthrow the government as such (as far as I noticed).

Edit: Currently certain suburbs of The Hague are in revolt because the New Years bonfire was cancelled. It seems pretty childish, and I think most of the rioters are in fact children, but they have heavy weapons in the form of fireworks taped together.
The one that caught my eye was 3D movie maker. When I was young my siblings and I really had fun with it.

Basically there was a background, and you could add characters to it and make them move, rotate, scale, and do premade animations. Then you'd add music and sound effects. It seemed very cutting edge to us at the time.
Not a C++ monkey but headers in C/C++ have the problem that you can't parse them independently of the source file they are included in because of the predecessor. Which means you need to re-parse them each and every time they are included in a project.

That parenthesis around let is important; it precisely delimits the scope for that x and y:

(let [x 5
y 10]
(foo x y))
(foo x y) ;; now different x and y!

In C, I'm often doing:

{
foo *ptr = ...; // scope this just to this block.

}

I don't want ptr to be visible other than in that block, especially if it has gone invalid/null.

The braces will be there if you program sanely and care about scope.

I live in LA but grew up on the east coast. I'm not sure about Canada, but 50 percent of trips in the U.S. are 4 miles or less (1). 4 miles at a comfortable biking pace translates to 20 minutes, which is pretty doable on a bike (not to mention good cardio). On a bike you don't really experience traffic either, in fact it's almost better to bike when cars aren't moving during rush hour.

Even if people just biked while the weather was nice, it would make a huge difference for congestion and the environment, and would drive public support for better bike infrastructure to make it even easier. It's damn cheap to paint a bike lane, compared to other transit plans after all.

What protests in Germany could possibly have been large enough to make international mainstream news?

There were a bunch of protests about mostly random things, but none were really large by German standards.

Well maybe the farmers protesting (imteresting because somewhat unexpected), but that seems too boring from an international perspective.

Regarding #2, I don't know who the 'Lots' are you are referring to, but I do know people who were OG Friends of Metallica, as in they were at the Metallica Mansion when Cliff Burton auditioned and full circle, invited to join the band when they were inducted into the RRHoF. Your poor mouthing is at odds with the experiences of people who actually know the members of Metallica (well, except for Lars) have always been super down to earth and remain committed to making great metal music for their fans. Personally, I prefer the old stuff, but I don't condescend to the 'Redneck America' sellout bs. You should try not to as well.
Huh. I signed up for the report, but no download link arrived via email. Disappointing.
Rubbish "study". Nothing in there is based on reality, but people put in a test environment and asked to try and behave how they would in the real world. Reading written accounts of people asking for a pay rise and deciding what to do? How does that in any way mirror an face to face interaction? All 4 experiments are either on paper, or using video recordings. No statistics, very few people. Just another "gender gap" study that the media can cite to push the narrative.
I presume you're asking for a friend?
You don't need a "fake" credit card; just one from these online debit card "fintech". Luxury hotels, if you are business-dressed, will not ask for the bill payment until checkout (at least the few I tried). So you can get away with paying the bill without even needing to steal a credit card.
