Can you believe that most homes in Manchester City Centre have no fiber or cable connection, for historical reasons? Most of the suburbs are cabled, but not the central district! Basically ISPs make so much money providing custom “pipes” to businesses, nobody can be bothered to connect residential dwellings. And this is the 2nd or 3rd largest city in England.
I did think it was related to functional programming but wasn't entirely sure. It's HN and Americans are asleep, there are less politics and cultural articles.

Kindness may be referring to higher kinded types and for mean girls probably just forced lingo to refer to people who don't take kindly to functional programming and types.
In terms of age ranges, toddler generally refers to 1-3 years old, while 3-5 (which I'm interested in) would be pre-school. But going from your Amazon query did lead me to find this one, which seems to be the closest to what I'm thinking of. Thanks :)

It's funny how often the people "fighting" a stereotype are the people that bring them up in the first place and thus spread them.
It's not restricted to ethnicity, groups or race. Bigotry is merely the refusal to entertain different beliefs; whatever their groupby factor may be. Cherry-picking parts of the definition to meet one's idea of what it 'should' be, is the actual meaning of bigotry.

Please refer to the Oxford dictionary definition if you're still confused.
>> Chomsky would retort that "advancing the field" is meaningless unless it
allows us to "understand the field". But if natural language is a largely
arbitrary collection of rules in constant flux, there would be very little of
this "understanding" to be had.

Imagine a historian of the future reading reams of code written for all the
software we have in the modern era, in all the programming languages of the
modern era, from Java to Brainfuck and back. Would the historian of the future
be justified to conclude that there is nothing that connects these languages
with one another, that there is no common structure, nothing that can unify
them, "very little understanding to be hand"? If so the historian of the
future would be wrong, because all modern programming languages are designed
to run on the same substrate, modern digital computers. The existence of the
digital computer is the unifying characteristic that explains the existence of
any modern programming language.

In the same way, the variability of human language, internal or external, is
without any shadow of a doubt explained by some processes in the human mind.
These processes may be too complex to understand, perhaps, but understanding
them is a worthy scientific goal. And there is, indeed, much "understanding"
to be hand in that direction.

If you can't speak out or express thoughts against the rules, you are ceding your own ability to ever change the rules. Allowing a small subset of people to control the rules for the masses has never, will never, and could not ever work in a free society.

The small groups of Twitter and Reddit moderators are far too small to ever represent the diversity of human thought. You may think the rules prevent harm today, but what happens if and when they encourage harm tomorrow? What if the rules turned against you? Wouldn't you want to be able to speak out?

This just feels like a rehash of the "think about the children" argument. We should not base human communication on the idea that some grown adult somehow somewhere could have such an adverse reaction to your content that they suffer serious mental or physical harm. Especially when said communication is hidden behind NSFW spoilers and other appropriate trigger warnings. Nobody could have possibly stumbled upon r/watchpeopledie and thought it was anything other than what it said it was.
I think it was obvious that he doesn't believe that and he's just playing the victim. Nobody in the comments has mentioned anything about white males not having an opinion, and this is a typical argument (and a strawman) that people use to derail the discussion.

[in Go] seems relevant enough to be added to the title as other languages could reasonably easily bind to existing high-performance JSON parsers like sajson or simdjson but doing so from Go incurs all the usual cgo issues.
Soon you should be able to use one of the newer 5g offerings that work over the air. It might be worth checking this is not already an option for you in fact.

We're using 3s new 5g service and it's £25/month (2 year contract) for what they claim is 400mb/s download speed, although in practice it fluctuates a lot but is always > 100mb/s.
Maybe I got OKRs wrong. But for me it seems the author mixes up paradigms.

e.g. “giving context to Objectives”.
The objectives do not magically appear. So there is some context already in place in order to formulate your objective.
Maybe the author’s critique is that this Context gets forgotten when the Objectives are formed. But for me this would Not be a case against OKRs, but more about asking If the process when formulating has a flaw in the organization.

The other example was that people don’t have the context. I would ask again how the OKRs are formulated. And I would argue this has to be done by the teams themselves. So there “might “ be another flaw. Of course when the teams frequently change and one wants an outside view on the team, then there might be your missing communication of your context.

The other part that Key Results should be Metrics I don’t get, either, as it was clear to me that one always talks about metrics or has a metric in mind, even if you do not name “the thing”.

So I would say again this is not related to OKRs but just the understanding of it, trying to give things names.
ltsp was my first serious learning too after the joy of Windows 3.11, windows for workgroups.

I was running a PII in my roofspace and a diskless terminal in my living room using ltsp. I think sometimes you go through a season of fascination and learning. Luckily I ended up working in this arena as I was maybe less helpful around the house than I should have been.

I have a fond memory of pulling the cat5 cable through the roofspace floor. My son was little and couldn't climb into the roofspace so he was the cable puller. As he pulled the cat5 cable below through the hole in the ceiling he shouted up, "Daddy, is this magic?".

What is incredibly complicated about Lightsail? That’s kind of the point of it.
I still don't know who he is, but just from the arguments brought up you can tell this guy has experience in this stuff.

Those blanket statements like "never use goto" and "always trust stl" generally make me wary. I started out with gwbasic once, writing horrible goto spaghetti code. When moving through Pascal and C I eventually learned the "never use goto" mantra and naively tried to follow it at all cost. After I while I eventually encountered the "breaking out of nested loops" problem and refrained from using goto since I didn't want to look like a complete dork. I think I ended up with a flag that was set in the inner loop and checked in the outer and a break in each loop. That's what you get from blindly following rules that others try to present you as god-given.
They are referencing the old idea that men handle disagreement with violence while women handle it by being mean to each other. Saying "only women at mean" is hyperbolic, but they likely are stereotypes.

Creator here. ZoneYrd is a side project I've been sporadically working on over the past years. I often needed to know what time it is in some other place in the world and compare those times on a specific date and time. You can create multiple comparisons at the same time. We store them in cookies, so when you visit the page the next time, everything is as you left. Tech stack is:

* AngularJS (I started this project before Angular v2 was released)
* Firebase for hosting/analytics/short links
* Google Maps for searching for cities

I'm happy to answer any questions.
Can you provide a source for this claim that Soros employed nuclear physicists?
After spending a few minutes searching online I can find no evidence of such a thing happening.
I think that captures an issue I have with engines like UE4 which I am trying to describe: it has to support virtually every type of game, so even things which could be relatively simple gain complexity because the engine has to cover cases which may be entirely irrelevant to the project I am working on.
> Perhaps a muscle tension sensing device

I gave a muscle tension based anti bruxism device called GrindAlert a serious try perhaps a decade ago, and it didn't help me.
I don't know the movie, so I agree with the title being a bit strange, and I probably could have done with a slightly more factually oriented article, but I appreciate the effort to keep it light. And the stereotypical girls' cliques the article seems to riff on do exist... Girls are known to be more relationally aggressive than boys, who tend to be more physically aggressive than girls. Girls also behave in a more pro-social fashion, so girls' cliques are often larger than boys' cliques, creating more complicated power dynamics. That said, I don't really get what you mean. That's like saying a book called "Good Habits for Incompetent Managers" reinforces the stereotype that only managers are incompetent.
Thanks! changed :)
That's fine! People with your philosophy of self will just cease to exist, as they presumably will refuse to optimize for likelihood of being simulated, and those with a more permissive notion of self-identity will be the ones willing to adapt to the hellish computational circumstances.

(Of course, you could say that everyone's ceasing to exist, here, because your rules of what counts as a person and what's their copy applies to everyone. But please realize that, from the point of view of those who think having a copy survive is better than all of them dying, and is partial survival in some sense, that being simulated is a form of winning, even if you think both the person and the copy are deluding themselves.)

(Though I do wonder how you go about the day without having a nervous breakdown, given that your evolving state is probably quantized, or at least sliceable, meaning there's no great physical difference between your pattern shifting from one [smallfractionofa]second to the next, destroying the old one and replacing it with a new one, and your old pattern being destroyed and replaced somewhere else. It's not like your past self is aware of your future copy in normal life, either!)

(I'm not saying you're wrong; just that the situation is a lot worse than you think it is, and that we should all be living (and repeatedly dying) in absolute existential terror.)
Do you have any references for this functionality? I’ve never encountered something like that in the RFCs, or in any server.

Ask HN: Is there a camera that is aligned with a screen?
I was watching a YouTube video[1] where Trevor Noah, as a random aside about 42 seconds in, says something I thought was a great idea: a web camera that aligns with your screen, so that when you're video conferencing, you can look at the person you're talking to, and on the other end it looks like you're looking them in the eye.

I think this would make a big difference in people's lives, as eye contact is a pretty psychologically important way to connect with other human beings.

Does this already exist? Is anyone working on this?

You can consider the ideas without accepting them as true. You don't need a self defence. Feed your imagination and it feeds creativity.
Congratulations on the dedication to lose the weight and maintain the loss.

I’m a grinder myself and my weight yo-yos between 200-250LB. My grinding is definitely related to weight. If my BMI is below 25%, the grinding stops. Pop back up and it starts again.

The worst of this is that internal 80 bit x87 registers are truncated to 64 bit when written to memory. You have essentially no control over when this happens from the language level. It meant that floating point code was all rather undefined and you got different results on different compilers. As someone who has had to write multi platform numerical code I'm very thankful it's gone from AMD64.
That seems like a very powerful machine at an incredibly low cost. The closest equivalent at DigitalOcean is RAM 64 GB, 16 CPUs, 1.25 TB SSD, 9 TB transfer at $320/month. If I understand correctly the DO instance will have lower performance because it's virtual, and not bare metal. That amounts to about 4-5x difference in price, which is tremendous, considering that I thought DO to be the one of the cheapest providers. Is this comparison correct or am I missing something?
I dont have this reference. Kindness for mean boys would have certainly be less controversial but still off topic. Never said that mentioning women is off limits. I don t get why you ask this as an amswer to my statement. Thanks for the movie reference

Why is there no email or antispam service that replies by default with a link to a webpage with a captcha?

Maybe let it be valid for 24 hours or something.

If you solved the captcha then your mail drops into my inbox.

Or maybe you get a webform to say what you gotta say after the captcha. Maybe no attachments unless you fill in a webform and captcha..

Afterwards if i do reply to the mail it goes into a whitelist and you(or perhaps your domain?) don't need to fill in captchas again.

There could tweaks like if you've solved the captcha then you get to email other addresses of my domain without the captcha requirement too.

Or even add the kyc kind of checks like... You get instructions to take a selfie holding a ok sign with your left hand and upload that.
And i get to add you to my whitelist after i look at the picture you've submitted...

I can even sort of imagine my phone doing this to incoming phone calls...it answers non-whitelisted numbers with...please dial seventeen plus the cube root of eight....hah

In my experience parents get frustrated because their child doesn't get a concept, but don't automatically think that the child needs more practice. If they think about practice, it is not systematic or structured and doesn't generate enough information about what's confusing the kid.

Doing homework or exercises in the kitchen isn't enough, because how many exercises is the kid going to do? They won't do all the mistakes kids make and won't get enough corrections. The feedback loop is very wide, if it exists at all. The session drags forever.

I've had similar experience when a parent complains that a child is behind in say, addition. I'll take a sheet of paper, and make it into a table with horizontal and vertical lines to make cells. Say 8 by 8: that's 64 cells on an A4 sheet.

I'll then put 64 random additions in those cells and give it to the child. The child then starts making mistakes with "carrying" for example. I'll correct the mistake (check mark or cross and invite the child to re-solve it), and add an operation (so it's 64 + n_wrong_answers), and the child goes on to the next operation. They may make the same mistake and I'll correct again. Generally speaking, a couple of examples and they'll stop making that mistake because the frequency of the "cases" is high. They're doing one after the other, not a couple every week.

When they're done, I'll go over the cells and either notice a pattern like systematically forgetting to carry. I'll correct the cells and make another sheet of paper. This goes until the kid gets all of them right.

Paradoxically, doing it this way is faster: the session is more intense, there are more examples, the child is more focused, they get many, many exaples and correct their mistakes, and then they're done. This is different than the half-assed approach with a low intensity session that goes on forever.

One requirement is that it has to be crystal clear to the kid that they're going nowhere. I won't get upset and dismiss them when they start getting things wrong or just put random answers. They're doing it so they can go play because that tactic works with a lot of parents: they get impatient, and they'll dismiss the child who can then go play.

Even the kids that concentrate the least or are distracted the most get laser-focused, because it becomes clear to them they're not leaving until they get none of the operations wrong.

Just one session and the parents notice a dramatic improvement and it's not magic. It's 64 mini exercises that drill down a concept until a kid doesn't get it wrong. Some parents are impressed with the speed a child starts doing operations, even doing mental calculations of multi digit additions.

As far as I can tell, children lack practice. They're not solving enough problems. They'll do one homework exercise here, another there. Spend hours and hours doing the simplest things in the kitchen because they lack the incentive to get it done, and they know the parent is going to lose patience and dismiss them.
All this effort on building a better JSON parser for language 'X' should have been better spent on inventing a statically-typed JSON. (Type inference seems like a thing that should work well in this space.)
I beg to differ. Having them all in one folder is actually exactly what I want.

Storing them into folders is just giving you problems. I would need to put them into many folders, to get any benefits, but than again, this could be done by tags so much more easily.

In the end there is no reason to directly manipulate the file structure. It is just easier to have a flat hierarchy. If I need to find something: there are tags, there is the graph, and of course there is a full text search.
So, for you, an "alternative" would have to be a 1:1 replacement offering?

I'm glad that's not the common understanding of the word.
I think that sort of technical distinction might be lost in many when there's a news report on how [platform] 'allows' bigots to spread hatred.

He’s ... just not your type?
The issue isn't necessarily that he doesn't deserve to have a job, but he certainly doesn't deserve to take advantage of what is demonstrably a position of power and influence over others to spread hate in a public forum. Freedom of speech is treated as this unassailable privilege in any arena but if the speech in question is, for example, a violent fatwa calling for the death of an author, as in the case of Salman Rushdie, I think it's entirely justified for a public forum to suppress that. Let those who want to spread violent or damaging ideas find a private platform for it and leave it to them to find an audience.
