Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton started competitive go-kart racing at age 8, after getting a go-kart for Christmas age 6:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_Hamilton#1993%E2%80%9320...

Driving lessons pretty much assume an adult can control a car, they're mostly about how to safely and legally drive on shared public roads, and that's where I'd expect an 8 year old to be significantly less capable, without evidence to support it except - if 8 year olds were as capable of dealing with situations as adults are, we'd call them adults.
Is there anything more dangerous than someone who views themselves as objective while sanctimoniously berating other people for having "biased" views?

"Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?"
As a web developer who has recently spent an ungodly amount of time trying to make my pages meet Google's impossible standards for qualifying as "fast" on mobile, I sympathize with the author's point. But I think he's missing the even bigger picture. Personal computing is mobile now. And even though the phones have as many megabytes, kilotonnes, little clowns or whatever the device greatness is measured in these days, browsing the web on them is still slow as hell. And I would seriously entertain the suggestion that it's all Apple's evil plot if every Android phone I ever used didn't suck donkey balls for browsing the web. Whatever the reasons for this are, what's at stake now is not web's diversity but it's relevance altogether. I'd rather live in the world where web is needlessly optimized for performance than in the world of apps.
> But when it comes to outright republishing of in-copyright printed works, the rights of creators and publishers need to be recognized.

Is there something morally objectionable you find going on here, or are you just bringing up 'rights' and 'laws of the United States' because these fairly arbitrary laws happen to benefit you?

> How would you feel if someone took your output without permission, whether it's designs or code or something else unique and hard to make?

Let's be clear - we are not talking about taking something away from someone. We are talking about copying something. And I would be fine with that.

> How would you feel if people cheered this on, or called for your demise, suggesting that the world would be a better place without your work?

How is copying something a suggestion that the world would be a better place without that thing? That's completely backwards.

> Finally, even if you don't personally care for the book industry, try to show some respect for what we're doing, and the legal and business frameworks we need to do what we do.

What? Why should I show respect for something I'm against and don't like? 'Even if you don't like the cigarette business, please show some respect for what they're doing.' How about no?
This is getting a bit ridiculous. Silicon Valley mindset being applied to critical safety focused products is really bad.

>> exposing an "almost-JS" templating language

I'm not certain I would call Vue.js templates as an 'almost-JS' templating language. It is pure html. A browser could render it without any js backing it up.

I can't speak for many other template specs, but I believe Angular.js was just pure html, as well, using custom properties to perform the binding between the html and the backing js, which is very similar to what Vue.js does, in that aspect at least.

Indigo Agriculture | Software Engineer (Mid-level, Senior, Principal, Front end & back end) | Boston, MA | Full-time | On-site OR REMOTE | https://www.indigoag.com/join-us

================

I usually post this long thing about why we're a great company to work for and I realized that nothing compared to mission and purpose. You can read our accolades and I'll reference them below, but the truth is nothing matters more than why we exist:

We're fighting climate change by building better apps for farmers and the agricultural economy. Our farmers are able to produce better quality crops with fewer resources and less land. For example, we piloted a program with Anheiser-Busch and saved 2 BILLION gallons of water in the last year.

If I didn't believe this was one of the most important problems of our generation to help future generations, I wouldn't put so much emphasis on this. If you want a mission you can tell your grandchildren about in hopes of creating a better environment for farmers (and really the whole world), we're working on it right here, right now.

I'd love to hear from you and learn more about how you can work with us. Our stack is JavaScript (React & Apollo front end, some Node on back end) and Python (Flask for the back end).

For reference, we're a Unicorn company:

I am a native German speaker and developer. Literally every resource I look up on the internet concerning my work I look up in English. I actually start thinking about my problems in English.

When MDN shows me content in German the first thing I do is switch to English to lower the cognitive load.

I can just speak for myself, but jumping back and forth between two languages is adding unnecessary cognitive load.

I also never ever heard someone talk about the "Meisterzweig" in a Git repository.

Blaming outside instigators is a common tactic for downplaying unrest.

I'm not saying you're wrong, and I agree Russia does run campaigns with the purpose of sowing tensions, but I'm very skeptical of any causality between Russia and the movement, protests, or riots.
From overseas this looks like someone abjectly refusing to face it's countries problems.

I don't think Russia or any other nation could possibly have anything more than the most minimal effect on what happens when you have an underclass, who have just lost their jobs on mass and with it their health insurance looking at whether Bezos who pays no tax is going to become a trilionaire while the disease of police brutality rages on with the usual denials.

You really consider poor people so stupid they need a conspiracy of Russian trolls to be angry?

Maybe every time someone is threatening the power of the corrupt, be they Trump, Sanders or a mass, spontaneous protest yelling "it's the Russians" is a huge part of the problem.

Russia is totally uninteresting. The USA is interesting. It matters.

Any time I'm agreeing with talking points of the military industrial complex and their bogeyman fear mongering (and it /does/ occasionally happen), i think harder to make sure I've considered the other angles deeply enough.

Just quietly, there's a lot more evidence of the fbi running political campaigns than Putin just now. You're allowed to hate Flynn while buying the fbi hatchet job run from the J. Edgar Hoover building is utterly astounding. Maybe the FBI are Putin's, maybe Comey is Putin's.

It's just insane this putin under the bed theorising.

In other news anyone paying attention to evidence found it there was never any for Russian hacks of the democrats mail. Assertions without evidence from the people who brought you weapons of mass destruction. So it keeps working. And yes putin is as awful as Saddam was. S.F.W. the truth /matters/
That is the purpose of the Supreme Court. However the Supreme Court listens to less than 2% of cases that come to it. But close to 100% of its decisions set precedent that is binding on lower courts.

The result is that precedent is the most effective tool that the Court has to serve its purpose. And therefore that is the most important thing that they do. And they are extremely highly aware of it.
The media and the government are both very clear that there are fringe elements (both far-left and far-right) infiltrating the protests and trying to derail the efforts. So everyone is going out of their way to separate protesting from looting.

The only place I see where there is concentrated effort to equate protestors and rioting is on the twitter left.
My guess is

"The protesters are now threatening officers at home, all methods of force to end this disturbance shoulders be tolerated."
> Moving the camera.

This is a good answer actually, any thought on where to find the post?

I looked for it but haven't found the correct keywords obviously. Also tried Waymo just to be sure.

None the less, I never claimed that the current camera is sufficient. Although I didn't foresee tilting/moving the camera as a problem.

I am not sure why that failed, but that's probably because I don't get Croatian nuances. In Korea disk is translated as "storage device" and it stuck. In general, you can make non-silly translation instead of silly translation, and non-silly translations do stick.
Twitter vows to work alongside Australia in thwarting foreign interference
Of course I can imagine the situation, the same way I can imagine the situation with the two kids falling off the cliff. The question isn't any different from: "If the car is headed down a road and has to hit the Governor of Texas or the Governor of Louisiana which one should it hit?" Of course I absolutely can imagine this situation. But answering this question is just a Priority Last for autonomous vehicles.
> Instead of asking “Is university good?”, ask “Do I have something more compelling to do?”

Unfortunately, the problem is harder. How to weight the possibility to reach the state of the art, and participate in moving that state of the art, against rather tangible possibilities or short- or middle-term gains in practical projects? The first option may lead to better long-term wins overall.

It's a hard choice for teenagers, who aren't always able to even formulate the problem.

I'd err on the side of getting education in all cases, while avoiding making somebody particularly rich in the process, as that's an indication of flaws in what I'm getting.
As normal, libertarians have the correct and rational solution to the problem :)
This is what symbolic AI skeptics in the 90's dismissed as 'brittle' solutions.
You engineer an AI system, then find it fails under some unforeseen situation.
You fix for that situation and find it fails under some other unforeseen situation.

I was driving on the highway the other day and there was a large black object ahead in my lane. I was about to take evasive action when the object shifted slightly. The motion was enough for my brain to sense it was a lightweight object (not a human fallen on the road) and a further movement in a puff of wind to establish it was an empty garbage bag rolling on the highway. No need for evasive action.

On the other hand if I had seen other debris/leaves tumbling in the wind but the black object was stationary my brain would have sensed it as a potentially heavy object and taken evasive action.

I remain skeptical that we can if-then-else engineer our way to self-driving until cars have the common sense adaptive behavior that humans have.
I remember reading a marketing tips page that recommended gathering the email as the first step of a multi-step signup process. I never followed the advice as I was just more interested in the technical details of connecting UI to my backend schema in a rational fashion.
Probably because github and stackoverflow write them in English ;)

Also there is no need to translate technical lingo if everybody understands it. More general IT terms are translated sometimes (e.g. hard disk = Festplatte, keyboard = tastatur). I'm sure a linguist could explain why it happens in some cases and not in others.
Who are the white supremacists here? The police? What makes you think that? This makes more sense to me:

"It turns out that white officers are no more likely than black or Hispanic officers to shoot black civilians. It is a racial group’s rate of violent crime that determines police shootings, not the race of the officer. The more frequently officers encounter violent suspects from any given racial group, the greater the chance that members of that racial group will be shot by a police officer. In fact, if there is a bias in police shootings after crime rates are taken into account, it is against white civilians, the study found."

Youtube 12 months ago was less bad without me having to do anything.

Youtube can make me do work to improve my experience, but I do have another option, stop using Youtube's front page and just discover stuff via Reddit or search engine results.

I had a similar experience with Google News trickling up garbage news sources, and I spent way too much time blacklisting sources, and have basically given up on it.

If that were so then would you not be an alumnus or an alumna?

The problem with the US is that people are scared of buses. A bunch of people from SF told me the buses were not good, but when I visited I took several and they were consistently good, and were never empty, just the frequency could be a lot better. They were a lot noisier than the buses in Europe, though.
I wouldn't expect an eight year old to be able to maintain focus, no matter how well they can operate the car. It's hard enough for adults to focus.

I heard a heartwarming story recently from Brandon Sanderson. He was saying in his writing class that a full-time writer has an advantage, but don't worry if you can't afford being a full-time writer! If you only write for 4 hours a week, after a year you would have a novel. You have even less time? It would take 2 years but you gonna have your novel eventually. The important thing is consistency...

As an outsider it's not my place to give you any advice. And I know it's not gonna be easy. But I want to encourage you to pursuit what you like to do! It maybe take more time but eventually it's achievable...

By having a team of people whose only job is to investigate the police, they look bad if they don't uncover issues like this.

I suspect the mistake in the US is that all the people who could punish the police are 'too busy' with other things. Make a dedicated team who has nothing else to do, and suddenly they'll be snooping around like journalists looking for dirt so they can make a conviction and get a promotion.
I don't think you'll get very far classifying space opera as opposed to science fiction, rather than a variety of it.

There's a very simple fix, which is to have a human driving and allow autopilot to work only in an emergency, when it detects the car is about to crash. Then you get all of the touted safety advantages, and none of the bizarre accidents.
What a failure. Try non-awkward translation, instead of awkward translation! "smack of the lips" thing is a failure of awkwardness, not a failure of translation.

In Korea "to click" is translated as "to press". Now, that wasn't difficult, was it?

I mean it doesn’t help Trump. He’s kind taking a hands off approach so far.

But it also doesn’t help Biden. He hasn’t said peep. He’s holed up and keeping quiet.

It would help countries the US is nettling but I’m not sure China has much to gain (maybe tit for tat re Hong Kong) Russia? The whole story was they colluded with Trump... so now they want him to lose to Biden? Whaaaa...

> Racist violence is political violence. It is agents of the state enforcing a racial order which is inextricable from (and perpetuated by) the politics of the state.

Boloney. It is individuals, even if in positions of authority (and even if far too many of them), carrying out their own warped agenda, not that of the state.

> Okay, but then people are more likely to be killed by a police officer than by arson. So why don't we focus on the actual violent catalyst for all the protesting (and the ones playing out all over the country), which actually happened?

Why should I choose? I oppose violence (or even excessive force) by police officers, and I oppose arson by rioters. And I oppose both for the same reason.
If there is unrest it is easy to stoke from anywhere. You have Marx living in london, lenin hanging out in germany.

The point is. An under served population can be insighted with ideas from anywhere. But the root cause is still there in that community.
I think your maths is off. A literary novel is a success if it sells 10,000 copies in hardback. I'm pretty sure that doesn't entail getting the book in front of a hundred million people.
I'm shocked too. Even if your language has all the necessary words it still seems unreasonable to me to avoid learning English if you are interested in IT. One of the reasons I'd mention: almost all of the adequately fresh information is in English. Original manuals are in English, StackOverflow is in English, HN is in English, English is the lingua-franca for comments and function/class/variable names (I've seen non-English source code some times but that's rare and feels weird). English is not my native language but I'm glad it unites ~99% of the industry and the science.
