I've been recommending cheap Linux laptops like the Pinebook (as well as the Pro) for family members who just use their computers for email and Facebook. Turns out if they spend 99% of their time using Firefox, Linux is a good platform that can suit their needs just fine. Haven't had a tech support call in ages.

Going further, put a small space facing camera on each satellite. The images can be stiched together to improve resolution and maintain continuous observation of space at all angles. Image downloads can be limited to save bandwidth.
The software doesn't care. It will crash anyway.

That's just basic threat assessment. Obviously if you have a chunk of data that's really sensitive, it would be best to "air gap" it from the internet.

Stress, anxiety, harassment: survey reveals pressures of scientists’ work lives
Really nice idea! I added a few.

But one that I added didn't make it to the list and I don't know why: Spaceteam https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sleepingbe...

It has no ads. The IAP it has seems to fit your definition of acceptable: it's only cosmetic and goes to support the developer.

So my suggestion would be this: include another list of rejected games, which some reason why they didn't meet the criteria for the No-BS list.
I bought a Google branded LG phone about 8 years ago. It was complete garbage and they EOL'd it after 6 months and never delivered anything that they promised. I've never given google hardware a second look after that.

Ah, here's a review:

We did a Waldorf tour and a Montessori tour as I am Piaget constructivist fan. Waldorf was kooky-dooks, the specific Montessori had no soul, I am sure most probably do.

We ended up going with a preschool that was a chaotic hodgepodge, the best part of which they had two mandatory outside play times, no exceptions for weather.

Waldorf is extremely conforming. Good intentions with the wrong focus.
Don't think so. Adaptive optics works by changing the physical shape of the mirror. If you measure the atmosphere continuously and bend the mirror the right way, you can remove atmospheric distortion from the image. If anything, AO just gets you sharper images of the starlink satellites (or significantly worse ones if a satellite flies in front of the guidestar that you're using as a reference point to measure atmospheric distortions).
Huh. So, how does one check that a cast from double to long would succeed in C? Just go and do lround()+errno check?

It makes complete sense when you think and read about it, of course.

One thing that surprised me (but makes complete sense) is that all the construction lumber I've grown up with is completely different species than the construction lumber used elsewhere. Dimensions vary, too.

That's not what your link says. It says 6.87%.
As someone involved in a very local run this weekend, people aren't that dumb. They know that there will be a company making sure the run actually works, and a small portion of proceeds goes to the charity. Actually, it really depends on the number of runners, so after a hundred or so runners, the amount to charity increases per additional runner.

It's a bit like saying that people play the lottery and think it is an effective way to support education in their state. No they don't. They know most of the money doesn't support education, but even if a small amount does, the other benefit (playing the lottery or running a 5k) is still worth something to them.

You store all the PII offline and assign each performer a unique identifier. Then tag each stream with the unique identifier.

Indeed, also at every tech office I've worked at, late at night I'd see all the lights in the entire building on until 11pm on the chance the cleaning crew might still be emptying a wastebasket.

Not to mention the nightly vacuuming of entire floors. A waste of energy and time, that also made it really hard to get work done without noise cancelling equipment.

I certainly prefer this to the reverse, and having truth values and return values mean something different.
I almost had a spontaneous need for their product when I saw the price was $52; but then I clicked the image and discovered it was for 48 rolls.
This reminds me of some conversations I've been having with a friend of mine who is skeptical of "emergence" (or at least the way it is often described). After going over the problem with him for a while I eventually was convinced that emergence is not "more than" the sum of the parts, emergence is _precisely_ the sum of its parts.

Ants produce these higher level patterns not because there's some magical thing that "emerges", but because they are precisely evolved to coordinate with each other to create those patterns.
This is why my partner and I have taken up XC skiing in our area vs downhill. We can pay something like $35 a year when we register our vehicle, and we then have unfettered access to the State's national parks, which contain a lot of ski trails in winter.

$35 to have us both access 25+ trails within 2 hour drive, or pay $250 per person for a season pass at the local ski mountain.

Wasn't a tough decision, and I was surprised how many hills there are in XC ski. I thought I would be bored switching over but I really am not!

You need to rethink your worth.

Seems like you are quite the profile. Demand the pay you deserve. Bachelor in SW-eng, 4 years of professional diverse work, dive instructor - working under pressure, meeting people, outgoing, seeking new challenges.

Yes technology changes, but really if you have a deep understanding from your universities you will catch up up quick.

Just because you don't know all the current buzz-words the HR recruiters put on the job offer (that they probably do not understand themselves) you should not feel like you need to compromise on your pay.
Yeah, I've heard of 8th! Absolutely sucks that it's proprietary, it's seriously cool. It's one of my favorite examples of how single-man dev "teams" are the most efficient.

Except that (again in the United States which I point out because the article is UK-focused), governments at all levels have been offloading their responsibilities for the common welfare onto private entities, often for-profit entities. And in many places simultaneously making it harder for charities to do their work.
> I pointed out that you don't need a laptop at all to learn

I am going to assume that, being a good parent, that is what you do. That when you need to learn something new, you do not research it on your phone or laptop, you go to a library, check out a number of books and reference materials, read them and take notes (maybe not on a shovel, but on a physical writing medium of some sort).

That you did not blow off your kid's concern and left a smug comment about it on HN.

Pay a laywer or use Termly.io (a privacy policy/terms of use generator)?
We're going to launch our mobile app in a couple weeks, and I wondered if we need to hire a lawyer OR if we can just use Termly.io .

They generate your privacy policy/terms of user automatically and are a lot cheaper than a lawyer.

Does anyone have experience using them? Or advice?

Are my games eligible? I own a game company named Kidoteca, our target market is small kids so we never put ads or IAP.

The closest thing to ads is a section to see our other apps, but it is hidden (requires reading, to figure out how to get to it, while we expect most of our users are kids that can't read).
White is also largely about control and order, so I don't think that one fits well (which is fine since it is mapping a different color). The others, yeah, fairly close.

Automated testing for Android codebase of 1.5M lines of code
I think it could potentially happen by way of a fork, similar to the history of GCC and EGCS, but it would take a dedicated group of hackers to make it happen. Not one guy doing all the work and a bunch of Guile fans on the sidelines cheering for him.

I find it impossible to believe that an ERP implementation can ever "go smoothly".

At best, even if the system does what it does perfectly, it's still a classic "diffusion of innovation" (1) problem where you have multiple stakeholders with wildly varying levels of acceptance. This is always challenging. As those of you who make a living at this stuff recommend, it's better to go 100% with the ERP's way and not customize. Well, that can be extremely difficult or impossible in an environment filled with stubborn beancounter/battle-axe personalities.

Most importantly, however, the people who make the purchasing and sign-off decisions ARE NOT the ones who use the thing. There are going to be problems and those problems will not usually bubble back up to the consultant/vendor. People will just have their noses pushed to the grindstone until the job gets done-- never mind the tedium, never mind the countless little mistakes. New people don't get trained, they just get put in front of the the thing to hunt and peck through it, sometimes with the assistance of a surly veteran of the system, sometimes with no one to help them. There are thousands upon thousands of people sitting in cubicles right now using Oracle EBS with it's horrible grey java applet UI and ridiculous inscrutable query functionality. They've been sitting there suffering it since the 90's. Who listens to their screams? Not Oracle, not exec that bought the thing! Or maybe they're silent and they've resigned themselves to their fate?

> If I want to be pedantic, the official term is normal order. You are wrong on this. See SICP chapter 1.

SICP isn't going to help you, we're talking about Haskell's 'call by need' evaluation. It's not the same as 'normal order', feel free to look up the definition where ever you like.

I don't think a 'logical proof' is even possible, so I'm not really sure what you're asking for. We could definitely use more research on paradigms and their effects. There are a few studies on types providing benefits, but nothing that I'm aware of about FP. I think the problems stems from the fact that "functional programming" is itself a pretty loose definition.

edit:
something you can read about evaluation order,

That's a nice feature! But it was added after we left Apple. I cannot claim any credit for it.
Uh no, that's terrible advice. What if he ends up disrupting the service and cause days or worst weeks of downtime for the company? He'll end up taking the entire blame for it and possibly even fired. Will you come to back him up? Because to everyone else there, everything was working fine for months and years until OP came along and put his nose where he shouldn't have.
Which is the better introduction to Lisp: On Lisp (by pg), SICP, or another text (maybe on Common Lisp)?

The monitor on my iLamp went black last week for no reason that I can determine. The machine still works, and I can VNC into it to use it, but that's not so much fun.

I have the tools to fix it, but no longer possess the manual dexterity. Sadly, it will probably end up in the garbage because my local Apple Store won't take it back for recycling.

So the correct implementation of fits_long would be this?

int fits_long(double value)

double max = (double) (1L << 52)
double min = (double) -max;
return min <= value && value <= max;
}

(assuming a 64bit long)
Yes. You will be able to recreate the examples and problems exactly as they are written using Guile (or any other R6RS-compliant Scheme).
Launch costs are a relatively small part of the cost of space telescopes. Pretty much always less than 10%, sometimes as low as 2% of the program's cost. The expensive part is building something that can run for years at a time with no maintenance. Things that are relatively easy on the ground (keeping some parts at cryogenic temperatures, having enough electricity) get significantly more complicated (and expensive) in space.
At MSFT, they made everyone go through this training, along with a "personality test" to figure out which colors you were. Then everyone got foam blocks that they were told to stack in their window to tell everyone else how to communicate with them.

This was exactly the same color model, although we gave names to the colors, like red was commander, blue was analyst, etc. Of course, everyone wanted to be red.

I'm sure this course was expensive, and hundreds if not thousands of people took it. It was about as useful as you would imagine. I only wish I could find those blocks, as they were fun (and safe) to throw at people.

Of course they didn't mention the original book, because if they would have, I certainly would have remembered the title!
Postman used to be available as a Chrome app but when this was announced they released it as an Electron app instead.
So by "not targeted at gamers" you just mean that they don't have games you are interested in?

I've really enjoyed my time with Apple Arcade. Before it launched, it was becoming difficult to find a decent mobile game that wasn't 100% supported by ad's. I haven't loved all the games they offered, but I've played about 5 so far that I would have paid full price for if they weren't offered in the service.
Other than the condescending tone, this comment is probably worth keeping.

summary: there are extralegal, cheap, and convenient methods of collecting supplements/drugs that will be available to everyone with a credit card and the right risk tolerance, regardless of e.g. FDA approval.

I used to dabble in Cheat Engine, Tsearch, and IDA Pro, for reversing games. Recently, a nice guy randomly showed me a demo of a modern tool called radare[1]. I was floored by the IDA-like flow-diagrams that it spit out in the terminal[2], and the short commands for navigating/bookmarking/documenting. Nice to see hobbyists don't need to buy IDA anymore!

If SpaceX doesn't roll out a constellation like what SpaceX is proposing, someone else will, and that other entity (China, Russia, India, some up-and-coming African nation) will likely not be as receptive to the complaints of astronomers when they think their economic future rests on a quick, cheap Internet roll-out.

The thing is there will be kids with low 'learning above reading' score (like a lot on HN probably) and kids with very high 'learning above reading' scores.

I heard one person call the ones you can throw a book and they will be good the kids you could put into a dark room and they will emerge literate.

I was also praised as a child because you could leave me in a book store for 5 hours and 5 hours later I would still be in the same spot reading the same book and enjoying it. I realized now I was praised for that because it was rare!
I stated quite clearly, that it is hard to work out the intention of the article. The professional psychologist in question seems to be spending an awful amount of energy dispelling a theory that has been already discredited. There is an unhealthy fixation on the circulation and sales of the book, throughout the article. It is now a futile exercise to convince the readership if it is drivel and providing the book with even more publicity. They will come to a realization of their own accord and banish the book to the kooky category.
Ants in one colony are 75% genetically identical.

The issue is that there is no offline play until you purchase - furthermore SEGA still advertises their own games if you're connected to the internet.

Any app, IMHO, that requires to be connected to the internet to play so it can deliver you ads doesn't belong on this list.

There are many, but capital offenses have no limitation, and there are many potential capital offenses. However, that shouldn't really be an issue here, because any business can commit a capital offense, but we don't require every business to record every bit of information about everything they do in perpetuity just because they might commit a capital offense one day. Innocent until proven guilty.

I had never anything to do with this topic and have no expertise in legal topics but it sounds like you are referring to the Child Protection and Obscenity Enforcement Act [1]. I didn't read the entire thing but just searched for parts talking about keeping records, mostly § 75.2 [2]. Maybe I am interpreting the letters of the law a bit naively but I can not find anything that would require keeping this information anywhere close to the servers used for streaming. Quite to the contrary, it seems to me that you could keep the required records on paper if you wanted to - more or less a copy of the ID, name and aliases used by the performer, and a list of works the performer appears in, for example the URL a stream is available at. But maybe I missed something important.

Understanding of neurons goes wayy beyond that today, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hodgkin%E2%80%93Huxley_model

ANNs are abstractions that seem to work. We still don't have a full understanding of how two neurons communicate.
Surface area of the neuron depends on the type of neuron. It can be a very important factor in summation of inputs and propagation of potentials, along with shape, diameter, myelination, etc.
Remembering my UK childhood with enough snow to play in more than once just about every year, and my kid's experience of almost never seeing snow that settles, I'd say that graph is spot on. It correlates well with my memory, and with family photos.

Guy Fawkes night (Nov 5) was usually too early for snow, but nearly always a cold, frosty night, often clear that you wrapped up well for the firework display. You were usually glad to get back into the warm. A good few years in the last ten and it's been late summer or autumn weather. Barely worth a coat, let alone hat, gloves, scarf and extra layers.
Family and maturity change your perspective. While younger developers are chasing the next "shiny new thing", you just want to put your time in and go home. That's nothing to be ashamed of. To satisfy "getting home faster", I suggest you concentrate your effort and attention on improving the development process. What rote work or common functionality can you make easier to build/deploy? Ask yourself what the last coding project that you were enthusiastic about was and try to work on something similar. Or, pick something completely different so that the process of learning reminds of why you used to think coding was worthwhile.
No, its actually insane to take every written statement at its word.
