Right. I forgot to mention that the problem comes with X11 and the clipboard.

The first selection doesn't and shouldn't copy to the clipboard because entering a new address would focus the bar and replace the existing clipboard. It wouldn't be possible to copy any selection into the address bar.

So to use an url from the address bar requires selecting and re-selecting the entire address. That second selecting has become far more difficult.
Closer to Bennis's original: "The dog will be there to keep the hipster from touching the UI/UX".
You seem to think that sharing that anecdote paints you in a positive light but it really doesn't. It just makes you seem like you haven't matured much since you were a child. I mean really, bragging about how you were hurling expletives at your teachers because you were too smart and enlightened to acknowledge authority figures? Come on.

You're very clearly embodying a specific archetype of the socially maladjusted outcast who thinks they keep clashing with other people because they are a misunderstood genius when really they are just difficult and abrasive.
I know this project may just be for fun, but with WASM targets for all sorts of languages, I'm hoping we get to a future where mixing and matching different languages for different parts of your program will be seamless. Imagine starting a project in an easy language, then migrating pieces to a faster "bare metal" language as needed in a super piecemeal way. Same with moving pieces to a safer language as the project grows, slowly expanding the boundaries of the safe bits as appropriate.
One of the issues preventing the type inference from working in the presence of associated types was fixed this week, so the next release should be even better.
Ah, the times of the Sun contributed and led HIG — Human Interface Guidelines — for Gnome that actually made sense!

But even that (Gnome 2.0) "simplification of UI" got a lot of flack from the community, but it was based on sound principles and actual user validation (it was already brought up in this thread).

What I like to think is that we are in a chaos at the moment, where experimentation is running wild, and at some point, we'll realise again that we can't have good UX for both large and small screens, and keyboards/mice and lack of them, all in one codebase, and we'll stop trying, and all will be good. For the next 5 years at least.

The scientific community just want's the easiest language that gets the math/job done. They focus on the science and don't want to be bothered with the rest. They'd still use Matlab if that got the job done.

Java is pretty much the opposite, very large focus on architecture with DI-magic and extremely verbose. The lasagna building has gone out of style and never
reasoned well with scientists which is why they never used it in the first place.

It's actually the strongest form of logical reasoning, a formally valid argument. This argument is true no matter what you substitute for A and B:

* You said X did A only because of situation B.

* But X does A even in situation not-B.

* Therefore, situation B is not a necessary condition to cause A.

It's a term coined by researchers and I believe it was used in the name of a book at some point. I can't readily find the book, but I found this article:

https://www.verywellfamily.com/hothouse-children-1449187

I was briefly Director of Community Life for The TAG Project and was a low level presenter at, I believe, a Beyond IQ conference one year a long time ago when my kids were still kids. I'm fairly familiar with the research.

Yes, holding back kids that are actually gifted is harmful to them. So is putting a child on a treadmill to satisfy the ego of the neurotic parents.
I would like to differ on this. It's getting harder and harder to maintain dominance. Kasparov was the one to hold the longest. Magnus, even though he is one of the best ever, is already losing out to Alireza in bullet, blitz and even almost in classical.

Chess theory has a new Renaissance due to neutral networks and we will see newer GM's adapting to it.

They are asking $50 for something that there are other open source solutions for. It would be interesting to find out how much of the original source code is the developers and how much is just repackaging of one of the multitude of open source X servers for Windows that are currently available.

Originally thinking it was another open source project, I looked at the website to see if there were some features that would be worth it to switch from VcXsrv. Mostly it talked about how there was a windowed mode that allowed seamless integration with Windows. Wow how revolutionary! /s

"Mainframes are old news—and a lot of the code that runs them is just plain old—compared to popular languages such as SQL, JavaScript, and Python and innovations such as cloud computing, mobile apps, and artificial intelligence."

Seriously, the author needs to have a look at the capabilities of a mainframe today. All of those needs can be met today, along with everything else you could possibly want to do.

It is a different approach to thousands of commodity servers and yes it best suits large enterprise customers, but IBM never stooped developing the hardware, operating system and software for customers who require a system with massive throughput and high security.
I've been using XMing for years (there are probably better options out there but it works for me) and there is of course vcxsrv as other people have mentioned.

It looks nice and all, but there are plenty of free options available that will do the same.
I don’t get the whole trend of jamming state in functions. hooks use closures for state and if you call hooks in wrong order you get the wrong values back. In this instance, this.refresh is magical.

One hard lesson I’ve learnt after doing 15 years of frontend is to avoid too much magic. As you build more complex things, it should be easy to bring in new devs and they should be able to simulate the system in their heads without expecting too many surprises. Or being laser diligent that a silly mistake could blow things up.

That’s what I like about original react. It was super duper simple idea. Classes are meant to have state. The state object is called state. Render function returns a view of state.

While generators are cool, all of this could be simply achieved with existing paradigms. That’s why I prefer preact over react. It’s way smaller than react, less bloated and equally fast.
Somehow google even with all their money and rockstar developers still does this to me in search results. There's no built-in option I've found to remove the 'People also search for' popup that pushes all the content I was just about to click on after navigating back to the search results page. I had to make a filter rule instead.
Verify any of the historical accounts you think are inaccurate.

You might also enjoy wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_efficiency#Mainstream...

The "mainstream views" section suggests that market economies are believed to be closer to efficient than other known alternatives. The mainstream only recommends macroeconomic type interventions to counteract the economic cycle. Macroeconomic interventions are monetary policy, not price fixing, confiscation, etc.

Or how about the wikipedia on price gouging:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_gouging#Opposition_to_la...

In a survey of economists, only 8% supported legislation against price gouging. 51% were against. The economists opposing the proposal argued that such legislation would lead to a misallocation of resources and lead to lower supply and greater scarcity of the resources, or argued that the proposal in question was vague.

Or how about the wikipedia on economic planning:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planned_economy#Advantages_of_...

The advantages show the Soviet Union industrializing... while starving to death because the central planners did not have infinite knowledge, which the central planning idea requires.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planned_economy#Disadvantages_...
This section of the same wikipedia article shows that markets are more efficient at allocating resources.

#############

It doesn't matter where you go, everywhere you will see markets are better at allocating resources. Politicians implement bad policy because voters demand action. Trump can use the Defense Production Act to command masks be confiscated and sent to a hospital, and he will act like he's a savior, and economically ignorant people will believe it because action looks better than inaction. But he's not doing that because all the economists have said that's the best way to get masks where they need to be. In the end, he's killing people with these kinds of actions, not saving them.

The cost of recommending masks is that a large minority of people will decide they need the best mask to protect themselves, and buy them up thus depriving the healthcare workers of them. Yes, in an ideal world, the entire situation would be spelled out and only those people who are truly at higher risk would acquire some of the limited supply of more-effective masks.

For that to work, however, requires a sense of community and level of trust in government that has been in short supply in the US in recent years. These factors were also in play for swine flu and the other potential pandemics the article examined CDC rsponses for. In a crisis, officials have to base their decisions on current conditions, not on what they should ideally be. Restoring trust in government is extremely important, but can’t be accomplished in the timescale necessary to be useful for this crisis.

This always leads to discussions of "what kind of school is right?" and not of "is school right?"

Perhaps the answer is always yes, but it'd be nice to see it discussed.

Marcus Aurelius said 2000 years ago to "spare no expense on private tutors" -- this is going to be cost prohibitive at the very least, but it's also worth thinking about.

Another thing worth thinking about is every extra minute you spend building another this-or-that at work and not with your kids is an advantage you give your employer while simultaneously depriving your kids of your care, knowledge, and enthusiasm for subject matter (to a degree). There's a balance to be found, of course, but it's something I imagine people struggle with. Work always wants one more thing, but it can wait until Monday.
I have a real yearning to see some early 1990s corporate illustration now. It seemed like back then the motif of large framed doll people made of simple pencil shaded 3D effect geometry was very common.

I can even picture in my mind’s eye a Netgear hub being packaged in a box showing two generic figures skipping over some hillscape, achieving corporate goals together. Maybe even Windows 3.11 used the style?

I have no idea how to find an example though. Any help would be appreciated.

IMHO, the journalists' mistake was lazily relying on easily accessible Western orgs instead of partnering with Eastern-based journalists to examine stories coming out of China.
I've been following the South China Morning Post since the first week of January and so far all the observations coming from their experts has been refuted by the CDC first, then confirmed a month or two later. They are just as smart, highly motivated and had at least 10x more casework to examine.
Tldr; if you want to make better predictions, compare expert opinion against news closer to the source.

It's cute, and hopefully it will generate money, but it would never replace petting a real goat. I feel like this age is the answer to that college essay question, where it's proposed technology will remove the need for travel to have those experiences, and physical travel will become a thing of the past. Pick a side and defend your argument.
We had this expectation that nothing was really important enough to interrupt international travel. Even as Hubei was put in lockdown the Chinese were allowing their citizens to travel the globe, including direct flights from Wuhan to international destinations, and applying extreme pressure on countries to not restrict their entry.

Basically the system has too much delay to respond, even to a strong signal. Even significant local deaths in the US is not strong enough to change politics and media. If Ebola had broken out we would have had the same problem.

I think we are stuck in a local maximum. It takes a significant push for the system to escape oscillating back to where we are.

I just wasn't raised with that idea and I saw no reason to raise my own kids with that idea.

My father fought in the front lines of two wars and had a Purple Heart. My mother escaped East Germany in her teens with her infant niece in tow to return the baby to it's mother. Her older sister had come home with the baby to attend their mother's funeral and the East German border guard did not let her take the baby home with her.

I come from people who believed in fighting the good fight and quietly standing up to tyranny in myriad ways.

It's not about obsessing about the unfairness of it all or pursuing self-destructive behavior. It's about honoring a child's expectation for the world to live up to a lot of the high-minded claims of duty and honor and so forth that we talk about and often don't follow through on.

I did my best to follow through as a parent and I think I did the right thing. My son eventually mellowed some in certain respects as he got older and developed a more complex world view and came to understand that sometimes the simple and obvious answer isn't really the best answer. But he was never broken and that mattered to me as a parent, so I'm content with the choices I made. I don't think they were a waste of my time, nor do I think they led my son astray.

Most, not all; if you have the right skills, you can find a comfortable job maintaining legacy code and (actually) improving it. Then again, most developers seem more interested in chasing new and shiny rather than polishing a stable system.
I'm curious if you can go into what exactly are the views about things like justice and morality and equality.

I've never had the opportunity to speak to a very gifted kid. Let alone a kid that understands Einstein's Theory of Relativity and being so young.

I know Einstein was considered a pacifist and had strong social views himself. I think everything is deterministic like how Einstein did. My views on justice, morality and equality are shaped by knowing determinism.

I don't consider myself gifted btw. I'm just curious why someone so young would care about the forgoing topics to have strong views on them. What are these views and why?
If you've ever been in this kind of a situation, get yourself a lawyer. I've had $250 worth of legal services save me over $20,000 due to an unfair contract.

Huh? Variants of lightning/blitz/fast chess have been around since the late 19th Century. They are very much games of chess. I’m not sure what the quibble is?

Or is timed chess, which almost all competitive matches are, an acceptable form of chess, so long as the duration allotted to each player is __________?

Is it common to embed one language's code directly inside another language like this?

Lua is often used tightly-coupled to C, and it doesn't have the significant-whitespace issues that Python shows here. Even so, I've only ever seen it used in separate `.lua` files, never embedded directly within `.c` files.
When I was a child in elementary / junior high in the early / mid 80s, membership in the enrichment classes was largely dependent on IQ tests. I have very fond memories of these classes! We did all kinds of crazy advanced stuff, and had wonderful discussions. The membership was also quite diverse. However, in the late 80s they started to base membership on academic performance – as you might imagine, this started to skew the membership towards students from more affluent families who weren't really more insightful than the general population, just more diligent.
Same idea, yeah, but hopefully with better common adoption. For various reasons users didn't adopt those (e.g. numpy on JVM would be a ton of effort, especially a decade ago). But the web is an irresistable force, maybe. I'm hopeful (though not necessarily optimistic).
Thomas, I also highly respect you. While you're not wrong in anything you write, you're doing the conversation a disservice by not reading the design notes [1].
