That’s a fair point. Looking at the EU as a whole, I would argue it doesn’t have the resources to spend on enormous climate mitigation capital projects consistently with most of its countries dependent on a handful of economic engines (primarily France and Germany with the UK leaving), compounded by a rapidly aging workforce turning into pensioners who will be competing against those capital projects for fiscal support.
People seem to be confusing this and taking it like a personal attack.

Its not saying music is pointless. Its just saying it isnt going to help you in math. And over doing it, may in fact hurt your math due to burnout.

Taiwan and Hong Kong couldn’t be more different though. Hong Kong legislature (heavily influenced by China) passed this law (edit: this turns out not to be true). Hong Kong is already part of China. You don’t have 200km of water to cross against a country that’s prepared for just that. There’s no TSMC. If it’s a dry run for Taiwan, it’s a really shitty one.
So now you're talking about "want". Before you were talking about "can't". So which is it? Because if it's just "want", that's not people interested in living in a society.
I would never buy another Apple laptop in my life and be perfectly happy except that I need to work on iOS apps pretty regularly. Even for web dev, you need to be able test on a Mac for compatibility. This is purely because Apple won't allow VMs for their systems which is a pretty shitty stance to take. It's super easy to run Windows or Android on a Mac or even Linux.

> It's one of those things that looks blindly obvious in hindsight and makes you wonder how it took so long for someone to think of it.

Particularly since the movie Battle Royale had a mechanic that filled the same role (sectors of the island were declared off limits to force students to encounter each other.) Not quite the same implementation, but I think basically the same idea.
I saw a clone of SwiftUI that targeted web apps - that is probably a good starting point.

I spent a lot of time early this year experimenting with SwiftUI, Core ML, etc., all good stuff. What I don’t like is the barriers for a small developer dealing with the Apple Store issues. The Apple Store setup is not so great for a part time developer who might expect just a few sales but still want to share an app.

For me, Apple’s killer products are the Apple Watch and AirPods, otherwise I would be happier in Linux land. Apple would do a large service to users to allow configuration of an Apple Watch via the iCloud.com web site (e.g., trigger buying an app, and the watch would deal with downloading and installing).

Note: this is the open source project I mentioned: https://github.com/SwiftWebUI/SwiftWebUI
Wayfair Product Listings Provoke Conspiracy Theory About Child Trafficking
When Microsoft first pitched the “one .NET” vision for .NET 5 last year, they made it sound like they would be incorporating features from Mono (like AOT compilation) into the .NET Core CLR so that the new runtime (.NET 5) would be used everywhere:

https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/introducing-net-5/

However, their announcements from Build (and this blog post) have made it clear that there will still be two different runtimes (Mono and the .NET 5 CLR) with different strengths and features, and that they will just share the same BCL. Although I can can understand the rationale for keeping multiple runtimes (creating a single runtime that does all things well would be difficult and take a lot of work), the change in vision is disappointing.
For certain categories, the adult is definitely the customer. For toys aimed at children under three, the ads regularly talk about training hand-eye coordination and other basic skills.

For other categories, you could argue that the toy companies are selling a service: Make the kids stop complaining for a few hours. Naturally, an easy way to do this is to be the reason that the kids are complaining in the first place.
I've had good service from Comcast (though their prices are really high).
That's not what I heard.

You're drawing extremely skewed conclusions about the "voting population" of HN. One of those posts made it to #16 before being flagged, the other did not make the front page at all. It takes only a handful of votes to make the front page (much of the time, anyhow—it's complicated), and #16 is not high—any sensational story can easily get that far before being flagged down (and by the way, it was users who flagged it down, not us).

HN is a large enough population sample that you'll find that scale of upvoters upvoting anything, some of the time. You can't conclude anything significant about the "voting population" of HN from that, and the fact that you're doing so strikes me as an indication of what I'm arguing—that your generalizations about HN are determined by your own ideological priors, just as people with opposite ideological commitments arrive at the opposite generalizations, and by exactly the same mechanism.

I think you'd arrive at the same conclusion that I have, if you were forced as I have been to look at all sides of this under unrelenting personal pressure. I also think that I'd be arriving at your conclusion if I hadn't been forced to have this experience. That's a pessimistic conclusion—it means that rational discussion of this is probably not possible. (I mean that structurally—not a personal swipe but exactly the opposite, and I hope that's clear.)
Glad to hear someone feels the same way about Git. I understand why some people love it, but I think it’s overly complex for most workflows.
China is a horrific, authoritarian monster. I hope this century sees their vision checked and reduced back to the edges of humanity.
I got internet when I was 10 years old. I was one of the first ones in a small city, Brazil. We had our first computer when I was about 4 or 5. So, when the internet came, I already had 5 years of experience with computers. We all had nicknames and IRC handles to talk anonymous on the internet. Eventually came ICQ and we start having people as contact. I knew almost everyone in my city who was on the internet. It didn't took long to understand that I was not anonymous anymore. Although I had a nickname, I had also real connection with my contacts and I knew who they were. When I was 17 internet was a thing most people have, including people who never had a computer before. This people would say things online that they wouldn't in the real world. I remember an very rude email I got that someone sent my from their workplace. I just use whois to get a phone number from the company, I then call them and explained what happened, 10 minutes after the person who sent the email sent another apologizing. As someone said in the comments: this "rage" you see online is because we still can't punch each other through the screen (or cause it's very rare when a shit thing someone does online have a real backlash). Me, who grew up with a computer and in forums, IRC channels, regular chat rooms... already had some kind of ethics. When my father (that besides being the one who got us the computer) got on Facebook he had a fight with a lot of relatives because of politics or some other nonsense like that. (imagine fighting someone over a shitty politician who will never give a shit about you).
I always wonder how would I manage a social network or online community - I would try to have well established rules and try my best to enforce them. But in the end on the day I guess I would ban a lot of people and excluding a lot of groups. anyway, I love HN and I think you are doing a great job, both you and Dang. Keep it up.
Nobody would use it if porting out was easy
Wow, great project. I was working on exactly this in 2015 using Grasshopper but never finished it. I like how much time you invested to solve all the tiny details around the edge cases. Like prefering certain streets, no-hills and trying not to run the same street twice. It wasn’t clear to me from the blog article, does prefer “green” also prefer water areas?
They already made a formatting tool that parses carriage returns and tabs. It's not exactly rocket science to not fail on tabs and carriage returns either.

There was no alternative really, China would have just seized HK by force. Jolly good show by the Brits to standby the people of Hong Kong though with this immigration offer. Politicians rarely do the right thing instead of the self-interested thing, but you have to hand it to Johnson's government on this one.
Here [1] is one of Linus's more well-known rants about C++. It's in reference to the Git source, but I think most of it applies to his attitude towards using C++ in the kernel as well.

> Their job is to report the news in factual and objective manner, not ensure that everyone has enough toilet paper.

The job of the press is to inform the public--not yell "Fire!" in a crowded theatre.

Yes, they should have self-censored.

Shouting "Covid causing shortage of bottled water--News 6 reports!" does nothing to inform the public nor does it create a useful call to action. It only creates a problem--often where none previously existed. There was ZERO reason to believe that Covid would cause a water system failure or contamination.

This is different from "Hurricane incoming. Stock up on water. Here are the places which still have it." The information is useful, timely, and relevant.

Having the free speech protection of being the press does not absolve the press of the responsibility to not be a jerk.
People have all sorts of reasons to do things. Why are you reading this right now? Is it because someone will reward you for doing it?

If you are going to define purposes and motivations in life so narrowly, then I may as well take it to its extreme, get existential or nihilist and say nothing has any intrinsic value at all, so why do it? Of course we still do these things.
Unless China proposes to keep its own citizens prisoners there’s not much it can do to stop them taking up the offer.
I seriously disagree. Branching models are one of the few things that can be decided upon at short notice. It shouldn't be changed every day, but going from merge commits to rebasing is not going to prevent anyone from working. The VCS history will just look confusing temporarily.
Police involvement is often a spectacle, and attracts a lot of negative attention. Many would consider having the police called on them embarrassing/shameful/stressful/mental health pain.

None of what you say actually refutes the argument: yes, rebuilding Venice would obviously cost a lot. And it would cost even more in lost revenue, considering it is unlikely anything new would continue to attract them.

And while it's true that few ("normal") people still live in Venice, it doesn't follow that what remains is as worthless as Disneyland. Nobody lives in the Louvre, and it's still a culturally significant place!

The idea that buildings in Venice are layered, with newer ones built on top of older ones when they succumbed to the water seems to be mythological.

Venice isn't going to do cotton candy. Picnicking on the streets will get you fined, and in some cases tourists have been thrown off the island for such uncultured behaviour.
Just to be clear, I don't know that anyone in this subthread likes C++. I stopped writing in it in 2003 and I'm glad to be done with it. (I still adore C).
Entire fields (e.g., psychometrics) are devoted to finding ways to accurately measure "skills", so it is also disconcerting that they devote all of three sentences to explaining how the cognitive and non-cognitive skills are measured.

The "non-cognitive skills" come from a factor analysis of a hodgepodge of behavioral ratings ("Cheats or tells lies", "Too dependent on others"), none of which seem similar to what I'd call a skill. It is not clear to me why the loadings on these factors vary across years: if you think that not depending on others is a non-cognitive skill, surely it's the same skill in 1997 and 2002.
At first I found it hard to use AWS because some services are a combination of other services and it was confusing but after dedicating time to learning what each service does then everything just clicked. Obviously the UX is still terrible for beginners because there’s a lot of assumptions but I found it to be pretty manageable after learning the fundamentals of AWS.
Also, rm is not the opposite of add, `restore` is (and previously `checkout` was).
JIRA is not doing the SPA cause any favours :P.

How are these ballons flights managed, in relation to airspace? Given the increasing restrictions on drone flight, I’m surprised such balloons are allowed to wander and descend Without any control.
Yeah, those kids could be honing their fortnite skills instead. You always have to factor in the opportunity cost, particularly when you're talking about how children spend their free time.
Of the four “Great Offices of State”, two are held by people of South Asian heritage, as is the AG, and another Cabinet Member. Two of those people are also women. Got to imaging Sajid Javid will be back there soon. Three of those five families that went via the empire in Africa. Conspicuous absence of black people tho.
yes: human beings.

For basically everything we can feasibly ask python to do, it can do that thing faster than we could on our own; few are the things that we need done faster than that.
I'd have to disagree. I've noticed a growing trend of comments like [1] getting upvoted rather than flagged despite making some awful remarks. I don't think it has anything to do with HN being 'non-siloed' because that would be the same argument as on Twitter or Facebook which mostly lack silos as well.

To make an unflattering comparison, Gab and the like are also non-siloed. But that doesn't stop a site from having an innate level of bias to the userbase. The nature of any forum on the internet is that it will cultivate a certain type of userbase over time. Obviously I'm not the greatest one to speak here because I definitely trend more towards the asshole side of the spectrum but I think it's something to be aware of.

How to make your site rank in Google
Buy some ratchet straps and be bold — you can drag home plywood on the roof of your car. Just batten it down well. (Unless you’re very precious about the finish of your car)
Have you looked at actual end-to-end latency numbers for common operations? I’m not talking about theoretical transfer times between buffers or carefully structured synthetic benchmarks.

Using fast-twitch PC games as the gold standard, most people are looking at 60-80ms of latency on a local PC. The online game streaming services hover around 150ms, which is noticeable but still entirely usable. (Source: https://www.pcgamer.com/heres-how-stadias-input-lag-compares... )

That’s why I say that 1ms vs 30ms of terminal latency is a non-issue. When I’m typing, I’m not on a tight feedback loop with each character. I know what I’m typing, so I’m not waiting for specific letters to appear on the order of a blink of an eye.

Most of us are using 60Hz monitors (17ms per frame) with terminals that have 20-30ms of lag, with OSes that introduce slightly more delay, and so on. Then we SSH into remote servers with 50ms, or 100ms, or 200ms of latency or more. The total delay between hitting a key and seeing the letter on screen could easily be 200ms on the regular for an SSH session, yet our typing isn’t falling apart.
Re automotive audio and Ethernet, AVB is kind of a thing in automotive, or at least some vendors try to make it one.
>Consider as well, during the Korean war, A China still badly crippled by World War 2 almost single handedly defeated an entire coalition of western powers, including a USA at the zenith of their conventional arms power.

Isn't that because China got the drop on the western powers?

Mad Dog McCree: An early example of live-action gaming
I have to say, that first one gave me a laugh. HN is a "leftist echo chamber?" Considering how the political range of HN runs from center left to bordering on far right, that doesn't hold water. You can't talk about anything on the political spectrum to the left of Bernie Sanders, who, in Europe, would be a rather tame social democrat. But, I guess y'all like UBI and land value taxes, so, sure, it's totally a leftist echo chamber. :P
Migration in prehistoric times does not equate to the well-documented genocide and theft by Europeans, and you're misapplying a principle in order to marginalize the rights of an oppressed peoples who are, as I mentioned earlier, still alive.

Wow, surprised to find this and I totally agree. I've had to deal with it for a remote math course I've been meandering through. It's so unpleasant, and the materials are not very mobile, with nested iframes and such. I figured it would be a more obscure reference.

> Slack has a few more features than the chat applications of 15 years ago. I suspect it may also lack a few of their features. It uses vastly more resources.

Yet Slack has massively more adoption than any previous chat app. That’s not by coincidence: They made it at least an order of magnitude more useful for their target audience.

Slack is, without a doubt, orders of magnitude more complicated than previous-gen chat apps. It’s not like they could have built it with a handful of engineers operating some IRC servers.

However, I was specifically referring to text editors (responding to the OP) vs modern IDEs. As you said, full IDEs have vastly more features than a simple terminal program or basic text editor. That’s where the order of magnitude more functionality comes from.
But after-school programs DO cause a drastic drop in teen crime, alcoholism and substance abuse. Those effects are probably more important.

The opposite of not using Google Analytics is NOT use these new minimalist analytics tools. I'm so sick of seeing this narrative! There are plenty of mature analytics tools that do a thorough job for a small amount of money. For the curious, I've been using Clicky.com. I don't see how using tools that give you only an iota of information makes any sense.
I've done this too. A thing to note is that complaining about downvotes or how you expect something you posted to be downvoted tends to attract downvotes. Kind of weird, but just the way voting forums tend to go.
HN itself is full of wonderful "counter-intuitive" narratives. College is the road to riches? We've heard Peter Thiel and others explain otherwise. "Health food bars" aren't just candybars? Whey protein doesn't just ruin kidneys? Daiquiri mix isn't just (overpriced) kool aid? DNC/GOP (partisans) correlates to "conservative/liberal" and also "right/left." Journalists stringing together "southern, conservative, Christians" seem to forget MLK and his kindred churches (I worked for Unitarians at Harvard). Might we consult George Lemaitre (Big Bang) and Gregor Mendel (Genetics) (both Christians monks) about the "Science vs. Religion" conflict? We can go on and on about "what everyone knows" that was never and shall never be the case. And Darwin himself wrote that Herbert Spencer's fictitious "Social Darwinism" was pure idiocy. I wish I could red pen correct all of TV and old wives tale "common sense" here, but I can't :/

Of course it's worse, at least if it is successful. You already start out with two entities with access to your data instead of just the government. And one of them has already proven to be financially motivated and morally flexible, making it likely they will be willing to share their knowledge with any number of additional bidders.
