But the math is different one you have already not died as an infant, isn't it?
One person is making a self driving car company in the evenings and weekends and you think the software will be the hardest part? Someone could figure out the software perhaps but selling it to an existing car company would be near impossible but less impossible compared to creating brand new car company and getting them certified in a state.
It probably means different things to different people. Perhaps useful on a website where you upload funny images of yourself and friends. But not a good idea for anything else.
Dunno why the downvoted. Smart cars are objectively bad cars. For a similar price you can get much better cars like the Honda Fit.

However, they did have their charm when you were getting charged per minute driving them. Handled like a go cart. Gas is either 100% or 0% and you just modulate the brakes.
This is basically exactly what you told me on the phone :) We also had a fun digression about sand-blasting tombstones. And of course, we covered the hand-engraving/dremel option.

So...label maker.
The contrast here isn't "secure by default" vs "unsecure by default". It's whether a legitimate login can come from any computer, or only a computer Twitch recognizes as having logged in to the same account in the past. I'm not saying they should stop asking for your password.

So we have "secure by default" or "secure, and also incredibly irritating, by default".

Quite alot of spin here. One issue is that plastic production is not "environmentally friendly" in the first place. Second is the waste of a valuable resource we cant get back. Is plastic bottles and all the little bits of plastic junk we produce REALLY the best use of petroleum?

The number is perfectly accurate. It isn't even possible for all communication to take place in public. So I have to ask again... what is it that you think needs a citation?

Is it deliberate satire that this was written as a very long series if tweets rather than as a well structured article like it may have been in 1983?
I think we can actually blame React and similar frameworks for the issues we see in many modern apps, including the ones mentioned in the article.

Part of the issue stems from the "strong data coupling" that's all the rage. Everything on the page should correlate at any given point in time. Add a character to a search box and the search results should be updated. The practical effect of this is that any single modification could (and often does) rewrite the contents of the entire page.

The other thing the article brings up is that developers and designers often disregard input flow. This may be partly driven by not having sufficiently dynamic tooling (Illustrator can hardly be used to design out flow patterns, for example.)

These two issues have a unifying quality: Websites must be "instagrammable", which is to say look good in single snapshots of time, and the dynamics take a serious back seat.
Cloud Native Computing Foundation Announces TUF Graduation
Um, there's already a process whereby private contracts, as well as all other company business is approved by a vote. It's called the shareholder meeting.

Now understandably the janitor has provided a lot less capital than deeply invested shareholder, so their votes are uniformly weighted according to their share of ownership.

I'm guessing the engineer might own about 1/10,000,000th or so of the company if she has a healthy 401K. So as long as she can convince 10,000 or so other employees and 49.91% of the rest of shareholders to go along...

At this point with React Native (or even Flutter if we're considering things apart from JS) there really isn't a compelling reason to build anything in a Webview as far as I know. Also in my personal experience their support team members have been pretty impatient and passive aggressive in the Github issues tickets so I'm not entirely surprised that they're building something that the community has moved away from.

I think building the site helped more than using it... breaking the concepts down into code helped me to see the broader patterns and abstractions more than just reading about it.

I also like forcing arbitrary constraints during practice. Can you make a simple song from only firsts and fifths in one key? Now add in sevens. Then do a key change every 8 measures (but same pattern). Now invert part of the pattern during the key change. Etc...

That kind of practice helped me intuitively understand what sounded good and what didn’t, which helped me finally grok the theory / vocab i was reading online but didn’t really get before then
I think a Turing Machine is an infinite state automaton with the capability that you can remotely access state information. [1]

Maybe someone can clarify whether this is correct.

If you phrase it that way, then it seems more intuitive that the brain could be described as a Turing machine. The definition of a Turing machine is deceivingly simple and cause us to question what we perceive of as complex. The transition function (and the tape) actually make magic happen if you compare it to any "dumb" mechanical or electrical device.
Clearly people in your community are addicted. The fact they're still being enabled is bad. It seems hard to fix. Meanwhile I think we should punish the Sacklers for causing the addiction in the first place, regardless of whether other pharma jumped on the bandwagon.

Huh, what are the 4 noble truths if not a doctrine that instructs people to go towards the 8 paths?

And if you chose to dismiss the religious and cultish parts, you can also find a lot of value in Jesus teaching about unconditional love and about inner spiritual discipline.

I have no qualms in people using a cleaned up religion as a source for spiritual growth, and will agree that Buddhism has many features that makes it particularly friendly, like its focus on non-violence, but don't be mistaken in what you are doing in the process. It is still a typical religion that has little inherent reason to be more sensible than any other source. All its advices have to stand on their own merit.

OK, the way I'd figure it out is: for such a polynomial, you definitely can't find those integers. There isn't any concrete m1...m9 satisfying the condition. The stumbling block is you can't find a proof for this fact in ZFC.

But this seems to go against the idea that for any proposition independent from an axiom system, there is a model of the axiom system where that proposition is true and another where it is false.

Someone enlighten me (not sarcastic).

It would have to balance multiple objective functions, 1) does it impede fluid flow 2) is it buildable, can it be constructed 3) is it sturdy, will it last, will it perform under the required criteria. Train an AI to turn knobs that drives the parameters (hyper) that generates networks that solve problems across multiple competing objective functions.

In 1983 virtually everything was text base. Since moving to graphical user interfaces a great deal of effort moved into more visually stimulating UI such as animations and better fonts etc. Not all of this should be counted a progress/innovation. We have waisted much of the HW performance we achieved of the years for baubles and trinkets:)
Do you want somebody renting your personal car? I mean, rental cars have the saying “drive it like a rental for a reason”. Your car will get totaled or somebody will smoke weed in it or leave a bag of uncapped needles. People will return it miles away from the drop point or not even return it at all. They won’t fill the tank, leaving you to drive to the gas station and fill it. They’ll rent it and than swap your working battery for their broken batter. Take the tires off and swap them with their shitty bald ones.

The only people who make money (like real money and not pretend “profit” that doesn’t account for everything I listed) are people who buy cars specifically to rent out on Turo. They don’t get attached to any of the cars because those things will get fucked.

Windows explorer is seriously slow on Windows 10. Things like the right-click menu and creating a new folder are too slow for what is done. The new item menu is very slow, perhaps due to having office 365 installed? Creating a new folder sometimes doesn't update the display of the containing folder at all.
Yeah but React's popularity is because there is demand and expectations for interactive UIs with tons of features that are taken for granted. Users expect basic amount of interactivity and usability that adds a ton of complexity which React offers a good model for.
Hmm why would you expect anything else? They do not live in the same Internet bubble as say US/Nordics/Germany.
If you spent what people paid for a PC in 1983 (literally, without any inflation) you probably wouldn't notice anything being perceptually slower.

Like the first Mac retailed for $2500 US. Go spend $2500 on a PC today, you'll have a great time.

Granted, economies of scale make this kind of a dumb argument. But it has a bit of truth to it. People are just less willing to spend as much on their machines, as well as push much more limited platforms like mobile to their limits. We should definitely deal with that as developers, don't get me wrong - but not having to deal with the optimizations they dealt with 40 years ago doesn't make me unhappy.

purism already did it with a handful. Their new shell has a great design in my opinion and it runs ok. I'm not a fan of plasma mobile but it seems ok too. The hard part it seems to me is the layers below the actual UI, gpu support, energy consumption etc.

I'm confident these shells will get to the point where they are maybe better for the average phone user than desktop linux shells are for the average desktop user, mostly because reasonable phone UI patterns are more narrowly defined.

I'll bet apps support and camera quality will remain bigger deal killers after the shells mature some more.
I'm pretty sure if you give me a subject I know nothing about and a couple days to study I can teach myself about it, at least to the level of someone who has real experience in the subject which may be a couple of years out of use. So then how does a hiring manager know to filter me out?

I've head opinions and personal life stories directly from current and past sex workers, though I've never been one or been a client of one. I even know of one example who chooses to do sex work despite having lots of privilege and being simultaneously in training for a professional career, simply out of happiness and self-confidence with being desirable and desired physically/sexually without denying their own more intellectual skills and talents. (Not giving more details to avoid outing anyone.)

I'm not an expert on exactly what proportion of progressives or feminists are hostile to sex workers. A confluence of societal factors (some but not all of which I mentioned in my previous comment) makes me believe that the subset that's hostile to them is better connected to the media, better funded, better organized, more privileged, and for all of these reasons easier to find and notice and hear on this topic.

I don't think that says anything about the broader question of how common different views are or what different credible views have a significant number of adherents, merely something about our current Overton window.
This is one of the most hypocritical things of being an NRI. You watch people who want a good life in secular, liberal western democracies that makes immigration easy for them. The same people want the very opposite conditions in India.

> Ah, the familiar pseudo-libertarian argument...

First, I'm an anarchist and reject the very notion or the construct of the State; I'm not a Libertarian, who I will agree are nothing more than closet-Statists masking their intent in order to gain the ability to to use State power for their own ends. Its disgusting.

I'm not going to engage with the ego/narcissist aspect, as you made that clear in your meandering diatribe above; but what I can and will say is I personally accept the things my parents did that I felt negatively afflicted me as a child now as an adult because of this--I was forced to go to private Catholic school, I was physically punished for my mistakes, subjected to teachings I found abhorrent and was humiliated when I refused to accept them in front of my peers. I was punished in such a way that I now value my time and mental as well as physical health as a priority and staunchly oppose that which robs me of any of them.

I now understand that it is because this was who/how they wanted me, their child they brought into the World, and to accept and adhere to a certain value system that would shape my morals, ethics and general World view in the way they saw best. But in that difficult process, you as a child learn more of yourself and who you are and as in my case: reject and evolve past that phase to be in a position to question and then later surpass your parents ability and understanding of the World--in that way I see it as a success, albeit a very troublesome and painful process, but its so prevalent in Nature I cannot deny its utility.

You can call that narcissistic or ego-manical all you want, but that is how Natural, Biological systems improve in the Wild: I've just outlined how immunology functions and applied it to parenthood. (I can go on to say how we stand in a unique time in History where we can target this with gene-editing and Cell Therapy, but I already know how that ends, too.)

At no point in time does that alone or directly lead to pedophilia, and to be honest; I'm struck by your statement(s) and I fear you may have been a victim of that and you're projecting anything that resembles an attack on you as a person or your ideas as perceivable threat. If so, I'm sorry.

Just so its clear: I find the sexual molestation of children one of the most vile things a person can do to a Human being, unlike death the victim has to continue live with a sense of shame and guilt that always afflicts their psyche and development toward the World; I've met a female lawyer who was molested several times as a child and it turned out positively in the end, but... it came at too high a cost. On the surface she is a lovely person who defends the under-represented minorities in her community pro-bono all while holding a career as a civil defense and immigration lawyer. But underneath all of that is a psychological mess.
Have some empathy! I've seen a trend where rants against the modern web often get upvoted lots on Hacker News. Consider this quote from the article:

> I make no secret of hating the mouse. I think it's a crime. I think it's stifling humanitys progress, a gimmick we can't get over.

Does the world's typical computer user today hate the mouse, and prefer a keyboard-only interface (CLI)? No -- in fact, command-line interfaces are less discoverable and harder to use, starting out. Even as a programmer, I struggle to remember the flags to many common command line utilities

Sure, the author's example of a cashier's checkout console might be great as a text-only interface -- cashiers use it day-in, day-out, and can learn all the keyboard shortcuts in a day. But what about the self-checkout machines that shoppers use maybe once a week? Would you rather have every person have to learn a list of keyboard commands while navigating a two-color interface?

Does the modern web poorly serve the author, who's good enough with technology to master any UI? Sure!

But the modern web works better for the billions who otherwise would not have started using it in the first place
A more expensive PC does very little to address the latency issues at play here, the problems are very much not lack of processor speed, gpu speed, or even ssd speed (most times).

I know from experience, the most godlike PC you can possibly build does virtually nothing to make common applications less laggy.
I think it comes down to the fact that GUIs _sell_. GUIs have visibility and appeal, they are something users can actually see, and have opinions about (right or wrong). GUIs are the ultimate bikeshed, and for many users, the lipstick IS the pig.

Anecdote: I can't count the number of times I have seen a team changing a color, updating a logo, or moving an image a few pixels, resulted in happy clients/customers, and managers sending a congratulatory company wide email.

I feel that, for a discussion on a site with the minimalistic design of HN, the demands of that sort of user are sufficiently foreign that you need a citation.

Not because I particularly doubt that expectations on the wider web are different to HN. Just that the crowd here isn't going to be able to easily understand the people out there. Anyone who expects interaction was weeded out long ago.
