Oh, you explained that slightly better than the author imo.

But now the pieces I remember from the article fall into place.

We have similar places here in Sweden that are technically owned by the military but they have a schedule when they're in use and on off times can often be used for camping by tourists, or grazing by local farmers.

I wouldn't compare anything I've seen in Sweden or Europe to the level of wilderness in DVNP. The most wild thing I've seen here was Samaria gorge on Crete and it was full of tourists, a well defined path and water sources.

(I'm from the south of Sweden, I realize the north has a lot of vast wilderness;)
Would be helpful to add pictures and gifs showing how it's used and a few example workflows.
I agree it's not ideal, but there's more interaction going on.

Even if you add comments on your blog you will never get the same thing you get on twitter.

That said, I don't think Twitter threads works for all sorts of written content either.
> how a hill appears steeper to us if we have a heavy backpack on!

I've reverse hacked this: When I'm tired and need to walk up a hill, I look straight down at the ground such that it appears horizontal, this makes it easier to walk.
Well, no, because according to the article it didn't do too good a job with Linux either. An old laptop is a good Linux burner laptop (like what I use for DEFCON -- except I usually run Windows 10 on them).
Not sure what parts of Europe you know, but everything above the arctic circle in Scandinavia, obviously in winter, the eastern alps (cell phone coverage in the western part is too good), etc... you are more than 10 miles away from people.

That being said, even 1 mile is enough.

One for each partition, plus one more at the beginning of the disk: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_boot_record

For instance, if you have a disk with Windows, FreeBSD, and Linux partitions, each partition has its own boot sector that loads its own boot loader, and the MBR loads one of those. (Generally it's a tiny piece of code that could come from any of the OSes that looks at which partition is marked bootable, loads the boot sector for that partition, and execs it.)

Cool! Will have to check that out. I've been doing "happy hour" with a handful of friends in multiple countries each Friday and mostly I just screen share one of the Jackbox games (the "You Don't Know Jack" people). Video and audio is sent from my PC and people use their phones as a "buzzer".

Still, despite having multiple games available, I'm always glad to test out some other options.
So, don't end the email with "Does everyone approve?"

Possibly a dumb question, but does blocking remote images not prevent this?
This is absolute craziness, especially when far more offensive terms are used throughout (the devil logo, demons, gimp, git, execute, terminal, disabled).

"The gimp executable" is far far more off-sounding then "master boot record."
I'm trying to help my mom's small, offline-only women's fashion boutique move onto the internet. I'm fortunate enough to have a remote job in tech, but their business is significantly disrupted by the lockdown. To help them out, I'm setting up their ebay/esty/shopify/pinterest accounts, taking pictures of the merchandise, doing logo design, etc. Teaching them how to use these platforms' complex UIs and, more broadly, learn how to effectively engage with customers on the internet, are the biggest challenges.

There are loads of businesses in this same boat; I think there's a big opportunity and sense of fulfillment in helping them keep their lights on.
Email is also completely extensible. There is so much easy automation and scripting I have done with email.

It’s disappointing we are moving away from it.
Technology is a good replacement for existing technology. Replacing a worksheet with digital problems can work well. Replacing a textbook with a virtual lecture can work well for many students. Replacing an instructor with digital problems doesn’t work.
This is going to be fun for students all over the world trying to use older materials with newer software. I can imagine the confusion.
The 20 hrs/ 40 hrs for PPL is not a hard limit. If you are not ready, a decent instructor will not sign you off to take the check ride. Even if you have 20/40/100 hours—the instructor will not let you take it until they feel you are ready.

So it may cost you more or take you longer. If you are truly interested, you keep with it, or decide to stop.
The drawback of getting a full-sized keyboard on a laptop is that the main section of the keyboard won't be centered wrt. the screen. Reduced keyboards are popular for this reason.

Aside from being one of my favorite programming books ever, and on par with SICP and PAIP I think, the font they used is really beautiful [1]. The PDF perhaps does not do it justice. On paper it's really crisp and pleasant to read.

I built an AR notes app on iOS. You can take a picture of an object. Create a note which comprises of a name, description, and audio. You can then just point your phone at that object and it shows you the notes and plays the audio. It’s something I’ve always wanted for myself.

What's the thing in the top right corner, though?
https://glimpse-editor.org/
Yeah, "primary"/"secondary" is common. For hard drives "master"/"slave" isn't even an accurate metaphor, since both are driven by the host computer, it's only that the secondary is physically wired to the primary and can't use the communications channel when the primary is in operation. The primary doesn't send commands to the secondary or anything.

See also this comment I wrote a couple days ago re ZFS avoiding the use of "slave" (which was used in a different sense from "slave" hard drives, and both of which are different senses from the "master" boot record): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23521392

In general I think it's good that people are picking more meaningful terms.
Great, would love to hear any feedback!
What you are trying to say is that slavery is systematic in RO, which is not the case nor it's tolerated by the authorities.

Yes there were cases that shocked the public were people were forced, but those are isolated and not tolerated. It's like saying that's a common practice for Austrians to hold in their basement teenage girls.

I'm not gonna respond to any of your replys because it's pointless.
Very likely in response to awareness of systemic racism in our culture.

Frankly, if it makes this field and career path more welcoming to people I am absolutely fine with it.

Many big players have off-lease or refurbished pages. Here is Dell's, for example: https://www.dellrefurbished.com/laptops?p=1. I have seen prices as low as $200 but rarely lower than that.

In the UK at least that is indeed a crime and I assume it's in one of the model criminal codes in the US. "Theft by deception" - basically you need to show intent to deceive and thereby permanently deprive someone of something of value.

So "Lied about going to the same high school, she gave me her number" doesn't cut it, but "Showed my brother's ID to the dealer, drove away with a car" is definitely a crime.

> What does it have to do with individualism or collectivism? Why are you bringing an opinion of Sapolsky as if he was an important person?

This proves my point, you think like a collectivist, the individual doesn't matter much to you. Besides, the reason I posted that article is because I wanted to give you some reference to understand the construct I'm talking about (a bit of "meta" so to speak), so that you can orient your thinking and it didn't have anything to do with Sapolsky or his "importance" (seems like this matters to you more than actual facts). It seems like you're a collectivist AND not intellectually curious (they usually go hand in hand though).

Your grammar and "philosophy" sounds very Asian. Most of your thinking revolves around "for the greater good (of the country)". Your determination of the "border" for benefiting from "greater good" seems arbitrary, why not the whole world?

As an individualist, my advice to you is: do whatever feels right to you. If you're truly for the greater good of the country, who are you to decide what the country has to do? and why should I care about your opinion? whats the proof that what you say is actually happening?
You're taking the intuition a little too far, I think. If we're talking about linear types, Math.pow can be linear because you can _copy_ the value x as many times as you want. As far as memory management is concerned, the x that was passed in was only used once (to make however many copies).
We attempted a family hike, day trip, on Corsica a couple years back. Took plenty of water, waited for the afternoon, etc. Turned back after less then half the way due to sun and heat.
That is really cool! I haven't messed with it in a while, but I went through a phase of doing lots of LED projects for camping/festivals/burns/etc. when those were still a thing.

As a noob coder also using this as a way to learn some stuff, a simulator was high on my list of things I wanted. Sure, I could tweak a program, upload to some little Trinket or Arduino, fire it up and see what happened, but it would make things a lot easier on the "learning basic Arduino code" side if I didn't have to build the whole thing first.
I don't suffer from panic attacks, but I wanted to mention that I have found that splashing cold water on my face seems to have a very "wake up / reset" effect.

I get a pool of cold water in my hands, lean over the sink, and kind of face-plant in the pool.

(A quick cold shower works even better, but is more involved.)

YMMV, HTH!
Where I am from:

- Mostly US paper sizes

- Pounds for human weight

- Ounces and pounds for weight,cheese and meat cuts in the supermarket.

- But metric for pre packaged products(they usually come in sizes similar to imperial though, like 450 grams)

- Gallons for gas and large sized bottled water

- But liters and millilitres for small bottles of water...

- And quarts for motor oil.

- Liters for duty free alcohol and spirits,but "bottles" for locally sold alcohol.

- US units for clothing and shoes

- But yards for fabrics/textiles

- Metric units for construction areas

- Colonial units for land areas and agricultute
That doesn't hold true in Northern Scandinavia as quite a few lost people could verify if they hadn't been lost while on a hike. It is easy to find a 20 miles radius where no people come regularly in Sweden for example.

I would love to see this combined with L-systems O_O
That latter part is important: there's currently no incentive for the outcome the author envisions, at least not enough to produce truly great outcomes that are better than education as its exists today. Consider that many teachers have some pretty strong emotional and non-monetary incentives (they have to if they want to stick through all the bullshit) to do a good job, and it still produces educational outcomes that aren't great.

While I do think student-driven activities within game-like feedback systems have a lot of promise for education, the educational system today could not use them effectively, and developer incentives today are not aligned with the outcome. However, you don't necessarily need actual software to come up with these systems. Consider Rafe Esquith's classroom economy, where students paid rent for their desks, could get income for different extra credit activities, and could buy other students' desks so they collected the rent instead of the teacher. Not a bad way to teach a whole host of complex economic issues without any software, and he did it for fifth graders. https://www.thinkadvisor.com/2012/05/22/teachers-charge-stud...

Imagine if all teachers were incentivized to experiment with these kinds of systems, and if they had the support to design and implement them, software or not.

As a christian with a knee injury, I'm deeply offended by their devil logo and gimp program name. As this seems to be a clear violation of their code of conduct, I will officially raise this issue to their code of conduct committee. Let's see how they respond.
My view is that technology can deliver education of equal quality to each child, and this baseline should constantly improve over time. A small fraction of children has access to high quality educators, and they might end up being highly motivated, encouraged and empowered. What about the rest?
You miss the point. This isn't about offensive language. This is about language that conveys exclusion of marginalized groups. To view this as a case of people being offended does a disservice to the overall social issues these groups deal with.

I'm not sure you're referring to me, because I both didn't refer you back to my profile for anything, nor I miss the email address there ;)

You're welcome. But I have something I'd like to ask you in return. Think about it - what's the point of gathering people's contact details if there's no prof that what they can offer even in terms of an advice is of any meaningful value? So, first read the books I've mentioned, or at least those you find interesting from that pool, then you can make your decision about how persistent you're ready to be in order to get to someone based on the real value that person can deliver. People are busy. Almost all of them. And a chance that a reasonable person is going to have more time than a regular Joe, who'd be thrilled to misguide you with his retarded ideas, is, well, not very reasonable. I'm sure you get it. Moreover, it's perfectly logical.

Regarding building your own healthy life philosophy your own work is crucial. Only rarely someone can point you toward a reasonable direction, which will mostly come down to a book recommendation. A back-an-forth Q-and-A ping pong game via email or anything else has no chance to work. I'd like life to be that simple, though! One needs to think for oneself, and there's no way to pass understanding from one person to another. Again, I wish it could be possible.
> "where games mostly fall short is that they’re not that transferable to the real world."

I'd argue that this will change because the "real world" will begin to more and more resemble games. Sports are a good analogy for this. There are entire cultures and subcultures, people's entire lives based around sports.

Wow, on my bucketlist is definitely to drive through the states and see those sights.

179 miles is almost half the distance from me to Stockholm. It's not too far gas-wise, I mean you can easily make it without re-fueling. But it's definitely a warning you should heed. Especially with old american gas guzzlers I guess.

In the case of git, Linus did what he did with Linux and named it after himself.

That's exactly it - all the setup is quite daunting when you're getting started. The framework also lets you control your LED patterns from an Android / iOS mobile app, which is really hard to do yourself. We're working on producing LED panels to use with it - though of course you can also DIY.
Great post. Thanks for sharing this.
It's not only vision. When you're sleeping and there's a sound that will wake you up, you can have a dream fragment which would have to know the future to compose itself this way.

Actually, the article stated that Linux didn't do much better, because of lack of cooling of the CPU among other issues.
I'll add a datapoint of an analogous case. I updated a legacy java 1.x codebase that was running java 6/7 without generics. Having spent a small amount of effort over a course of months, all the type annotations were updated. It uncovered exactly one bug. The main improvement is for quickly gaining context in unfamiliar code and being able to enable warnings for newly written code without noisy error messages.
My kids go to a fairly highly-rated public elementary school in the midwest U.S., and in addition to live math instruction, they also have time allotted within their class to play www.prodigygame.com

This is basically a turn-based RPG, but to make each turn successful, you solve a math problem whose difficulty has been selected based on your past performance. They also play it at home, and I believe it has strengthened their math skills and given them a way to go at their own pace rather than that of the classroom. They earn levels, avatar mods, pets, and many other things to keep them coming back.

They also occasionally play chesskid.com at home as recommended by their chess teacher.

One thing I worry about is whether exposing them to such addictive games so early in their development will cause behavioral or even neurological side effects. I have heard about similar studies of teenagers revolving around drug use [1] but I don't know of any studies around video games (which also can cause addictive behaviors) and/or around children younger than teenagers. I would love to hear from others on HN about this.

I don't think we are competent to solve this when we can't generally trust each other to keep our word, and especially when we have rejected the specific advice of the planet's Creator. I realize many will think that is silly, but I have put reasons I think this, and why I believe this, in depth, at my simple site (no JS etc): http://lukecall.net/e-9223372036854581820.html -- for what it's worth. And why we can really be OK.

Edit: I think expecting honesty, penalizing the lack of it, (and probably the Golden Rule) are prerequisites to solving many things. Etc.
That "part of OSM" describes the good relationship the OSM community had with Mapillary up until this moment.
