Take a look at the Ionic framework + Capacitor.

In essence it's a UI library with a HTML-like syntax. You write your application in Angular, React, or Vue and you don't have to mess with recreating UI elements. Here is a list of the pre-made Ionic components that you can glue together to create your app [1]. Here is a site where you can play with the components and see them in action. [2] You can also purchase "starter apps" that have boilerplate such as Facebook login, geolocation, and more built in [3]. You can also use Capacitor JS to access native platform features (camera, clipboard, localstorage) without knowing any native code. [4].

I too am new to this and to me it makes much more sense to use Ionic rather than learn the deep and ever-shifting platform specific-code.

Yeah, I'm not defending his performance. I think he said something about 'political Kaafir'
This analogy would work better if organ transplants, prosthetics, etc. weren't a real thing and the medically right answer in many cases. If your hip needs replacement, no amount of eating healthier will cause it to no longer need replacement.

There are, of course, many situations where divorce is not the right answer for that situation, just like there are many situations for which a hip replacement is not the right answer. But it is within the set of potential right answers across all situations. There's no sense in trying to replace what is easily repairable, and there's also no sense in spending your life trying to repair what needs to be replaced.

And it's totally possible to go through life where neither you nor anyone you know ought to get a divorce - just like it's totally possible to go through life knowing nobody who needs a hip replacement, but that is hardly evidence that the procedure is the wrong answer for everyone!
This may be very different in countries different than yours.
Not the healthiest of outcomes but could be healthier than others.

Kind of like saying the most healthy outcome is getting fired or rage quitting. It could be but once you found the job you signed a contract for life for, retiring is the healthiest outcome.
I guess it only has 2 instructions? Sounds like the ultimate RISC processor.
Legitimately humorous how the article associates America's failure with a communist distribution system, when communist countries worldwide have completely knocked their coronavirus response out of the park - so much so that it is considered unfair to compare America's atrocious coronavirus response with these countries instead of its "cohort" of countries failing just as badly, like the UK.
Aww I'm touched! But no need, this is not my main account and I only use it for this book, while I see you have a lot of history already. But thank you!
> Isn't segfault a pretty healthy outcome to program?

I don't know much about the other ones but segfault is definitely healthier than a buggy program being allowed to write at address 0 or continuing arithmetics after division by 0.
Had they actually focused on charging station and not bringing a car to market and battery swapping, they could have had much more success and wouldn't need $900M.
People? sure. Businesses? Nope.

People can discriminate all they want to so long as they don’t infringe of the freedoms of others. Businesses should be required to not discriminate because it would impede the other party’s freedoms. I don’t have a choice for some things, I have to buy from a certain business. Should they discriminate against me I have no other option. If a person discriminated against me I can just punch them in the face (figuratively) and go elsewhere. Businesses should be required by law to abide by EEO/EOE laws for their customers as well as for their employees.
First Dose First and approving more vaccines are the easiest answer to this question. The prioritization is not working well, for the reasons outlined in this article.

However, we can give approximately 4x the rate of people getting 100% protection from ICU/death.

First dose first gives you approximately 2x the throughput (all first doses from all vaccine candidates thus far are fully protective from death).

Approving Astrazeneca, J&J, and Novavax today would give you a group of vaccines that don't rely on cold storage, so can be run through different distribution channels.

At 4x the rate, these prioritization concerns are much less important.

The US is flatlining in its number of doses administered, which means that by prioritizing 2nd doses, we will start to vaccinate very few new people soon (choosing instead to administer 2nd doses). We can see a looming shutdown of any progress towards herd immunity, and urgent action is needed.
Suicide attempts, however, are far higher in females: https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/statistics/suicide.shtml

This is in part because males choose more effective suicide methods - they are approximately twice as likely to use firearms.
Also it doesn’t help that no one is talking about this. That app shows up third on App Store when you type in XRP wallets. If you do a quick search on it everyone is saying Toast wallet is the greatest thing since sliced bread (pun intended) I fell for it just as you do. Our private keys were not hacked, that dev is just fucking people who send larger amounts in and letting the little fish keep their money to not attract so much attention. The wallet has over 2 million XRP and all of the transactions in are for larger amounts.
Sadly Apple doesn’t ship emacs anymore with macos. Of course you can (should?) install yourself.
Theranos.
When the benefits of fraud greatly outweighs cost of fraud, companies and people will commit fraud.

HSBC money laundering for criminal cartels.
Big companies will commit outright crimes and when caught, simply pay some fines that is much less than the profit.

How does the market differentiate between money losing startup, like Amazon of past, and some money losing penny stock pitching free energy electric car engine, aka perpetual engine ? Lots of muddy waters and shady regulations that hide many fraudulent companies preying on people.
> Interestingly enough in francophone countries lawyers have their own commonly used honorific "master" or in french "maître" (Mᵉ).

Yes but it's never used outside of a professional setting in the same way everyone would have a good laught at the expense of someone with a PhD calling themself a doctor and using Dr in France.
While this book is a really great source for learning to throw cards, the author oviously wrote it with with tounge in cheek.

Also, be aware that there is some nudity in the book.
I made an edit because the system wouldn't let me reply to your comment for 20 minutes.
> Once the population hits 100 people

Once it hits 100 registered voters. Do I even want to know how badly this number can be gamed?
> He might be able to sell the keys to a third party

He might but it would certainly be illegal. The keys are to a wallet he does not own legally anymore, it belongs to the authorities.

And selling the wallet might be difficult when every buyer could have made a deal with the authorities. His best bet is to go far from the reach of German authorities and hope nobody broadcasts his location and the fact that he has access to $60M that he can't report stolen.
Yes, but as people 'open up' it may happen explosively as they feel more confident, leading to a material increase in cases.

COVID spreads pretty easily, we've taken quite a number of measures to keep it wrapped up. If people get lazy, it will get out of hand.

There's a kind of American hubris and self-belief, sometimes confused with 'courage and independence' (and sometimes not) that leads to this kind of activity.

It's very easy to think 'it's not going to affect me' when problems are on the margins, especially if there are vaccines at the ready.

In a way, it's a very dangerous time - even as rates start to climb, authorities may have a really hard time reeling people's behaviours in.

Most Canadians are under a curfew right now and vaccines are not coming. We may not reach critical mass until Sept/Oct and there will be riots if we have to do another curfew.

It's not a good situation - we need to be thinking in WW3 terms about getting those vaccines made and out.

Any rich country that doesn't get it done by Sept. should re-think their status as a developed nation.
What I Learned in Avalanche School (2019)
I’m very excited about this. But I’m I’m also interested to hear why you chose to build this instead of using Zemax’s sequential mode. I’ve written two bespoke ray tracers in my career and to this day I wonder if I should have written them as zemax extensions. Is it just cost?
Using the gmail web app, click on the spam email and then click on the vertical elipse ... in the upper right-hand corner of the email. Select "Report spam" to make it and that sender disappear forever. You may have to do this a few times, but persevere... you are doing the world a favor by training the spam filters.
> Why not?

Because marriage is intended as an act of lifetime committent to what is seen as a positive relationship, and so failing this original intent can never be a measure of success.. Preferable to 'failing' in the sense of staying in a 'failed marriage' (where the 'positive relationship' is no more positive) perhaps, but both of these are 'failures'.
Thanks. It's not especially long, you just drive one day at a time and go to sleep at night. And then you drive one day at a time to the next stop.

You're either sitting in a chair behind a desk all day long, or sitting in a chair behind a steering wheel all day long.
oh, deleted your comment linking to PH?

EDIT: and you've submitted it now twice and deleted it a few minutes later, that's a clear violation of HN rules so please that.
You’re emotionally tying yourself to Christian theology and claiming it as universal.

If most people married just to have children and raise them, then divorced, that doesn’t seem bad in the slightest, especially given that’s the likely the original motivating force behind marriage anyway.
Another increasingly accomplished and explicitly Clojurey effort is Babashka:

Back in the 90s, the tabletop RPGs Cyberpunk and Shadowrunner were describing a futuristic dark world were corporations were ruling the world.

Given what those games were envisioning I'd rather keep it as a fiction though.
Ah yes, just lock people in their apartments against their will and they cannot infect other people, genius
Sure! This library is best suited to "vector" content: text/graphics/animation, rather than a video of real life (although you could include a traditional video in a ractive if you wanted). I just left a comment at the top that explains my own use case and links to a bunch of examples of using it to teach math/programming.

Some other examples I can think of: If you were making an informational video, you could put D3.js into the video so your viewers could interact/experiment with the data. More creatively, you could make a video where viewers make choices that affect what happens next. Or you could make it so that when they rewind the video, it plays something slightly different than what it did originally, simulating a narrator's unreliable memories. (I haven't tried either of these, but I think they should be possible)
Now I need an appropriate Expanse quote as a chaser.

See my post from above. In industrial control there are a lot of processes with a large number of on/off sensors and actuators.

One-bit programmable controllers like 14500B were good enough to handle those.

In such old installations, the sensors and actuators that could not be handled by one-bit controllers were handled by analog controllers, unlike in modern installations, where a MCU handles digitally not only the Boolean variables but also the analog values through ADCs and DACs, so arithmetic computations are also required, besides the logic operations that could already be performed by something like 14500B.

You can move to a state with no income tax. But they tend to make it up in other ways. Having a lot of businesses in your community actually decreases your taxes because they can be charged more.
Not refusing service based on sex/age/race/sexual orientation/religion is a good start. It’s also good for business.

If a patron of a business comes to do business, that business should welcome the business and ignore the personal biases and their own bigoted beliefs.
Please consider using "hearing impaired" as a more inclusive term, or ideally "deaf and hard of hearing". Their are plenty of people who can still hear some things but are not entirely deaf.

No one disputes that authoritarian governments do some things better. Even the Romans built it into their republic: they could appoint a tyrant during wartime to make quick decisions before returning power to the senate.

It's incomplete (to the point of being irrelevant) to say that communists did Covid response better and not to mention all the other things they do worse.

Given the choice, I'd still take a 10x worse Covid-19 over living under Xi or Kim.
Yes, working on a way to get them now. Feel free to contact me
Maybe compared to a toddler, but this person I am talking about became a programmer at 65 after being a physicist and then a biologist. I know more old people like that from the university. I really don't think age is so much of an issue that it should us stop from prolonging life. I really want these brilliant people to have more time on Earth. And I want more time too, even if I can't learn anything new at all past 125. Life is beautiful.
If the US executed 30 Chinese spies, you're saying China would voluntarily suppress that information and allow the world to believe the US didn't do anything improper?
Option one:

Pay people to stay home, deliver them supplies & food, call them daily for medical checkup. Three weeks later everyone is free. If community spread is ever detected again, perform a similar citywide lockdown and test everyone (in a city of tens of millions of people) three times. The bureaucrat responsible for overseeing that city is fired.

Option two:

A year+ of half-assed rolling lockdowns with ever-receding end date, zero support, and a 9/11's worth of deaths every day. No public figure faces any consequences whatsoever. But you can go to Applebees!

Nuitka produces a standalone exe so no need to install python.
That was in Aceh. Aceh is crazytown, even for someone like me who was raised in a heavily orthodox Muslim family.

America's version:

Conveniently remove your own relatives from nursing homes and long term care facilities, then institute forced lock downs and mandate that they accept Coronavirus patients.

Stephen Wolfram is a person. The Wolfram Language is a language he made (in the same sense that Guido van Rossum made Python – it's the programming language behind Mathematica). WolframAlpha is a website that also contains a partial implementation of the Wolfram Language.
This is a big reason why Walmart can get lower prices than other companies.

My family used to be in food processing. Walmart was one of the only grocers to pay their bills on time. We made next to nothing on the Walmart orders but we could count on the cash arriving when they said it would.

Everyone else, they would pay late or need to be endlessly reminded.
Giving you the benefit of doubt, but what do you mean by 'FY'? I do not think slightly outlining the political situation in a part of the world warrents an insult, or does it?
I think the other way theologically. If you think "God is Great" the majestry of creation known to astronomers is much greater than the theory that earth is 6000 years old and then Adam blew it.

Thus "the Lord has many mansions" and one would expect creativity to be generic in the universe.
I was also reaching for my pitchfork, but in this case there is probably more code in the wild that relies on the (very useful) GCC extension as opposed to the standard behaviour.
I love this book. At the same time, isn't the whole point of abstraction to make this knowledge irrelevant for people who build applications on top of it? Like, the knowledge should only have utility insofar as the abstraction designers and implementers at the levels below yours did a bad job, unless you have a use case they didn't design for
What’s to remain calm about with a State government too busy trying to figure out who it is most fair to inject shots into arms, losing doses in the time it takes to figure it out, rather than getting shots into arms?

Start delivering on demand and the manufacturing supply will take care of itself.
Maybe better since Amazon bought them but before that they had an atrocious reputation for making their subscriptions impossible to cancel.
To be honest, I get the sentiment. Arrival of vaccines was greeted as huge relief, and months after that, all I see is squabbling of politicians yet again caught completely unaware of realities of life. Companies not delivering what they promised, referring to some small prints in the contracts (which to be fair, were stupid to be signed but I suspect that states either accepted the contracts or didn't get anything). Big pharma industry is after all about making money just like any other, helping people is just a side effect.

Maybe US will quickly get the stuff done, if anybody you guys have the potential, and now also the leadership. But here in Europe, it looks beyond pathetic. Vaccines nowhere, cases stagnant for at at least a month during current lockdowns. My 93 year old grandparents had first jab (this one maybe 30% immunity), second nowhere to be seen, so not much protection. Our friend who works in intensive care in biggest hospital in Switzerland (exactly with all the covid patients on ventilation), wants to protect herself and her family and also get pregnant soon, can't get any.

I expect, and desperately hope that I am wrong, that in 2-3 months, we will be at exactly same place as right now, just more tired and desperate.
Many cities are doing that, some are just doing it for new constructions, many people aren’t rich enough to live in brand new constructions. In China, all on street overnight parking is illegal anyways (at least in Beijing, hence why they call it “wild parking”), but laws/mandates don’t matter much anyways.
Manly people stopped smoking thirty years ago.
> Though by then the damage has already been done.

Wow that sounds severe, what damage was done?
First the communist countries deployed extremely autocratic measures that wouldn't befit free societies. Second, their numbers are far more likely lies than the US ones. These countries are extremely adamant about their public image. That's why they sent police to a doctor's home in Wuhan instead of taking the problem seriously and maybe, you know, stopping international movement to that city.
Imagine if he ran + lost for the next century.
Why 250? It seems arbitrarily far in the past.

As a way to compare societies and their values, it seems to me best to exclude the distant past when everyone was basically unaware of their neighbors, and use something like "since tv in most homes", or better yet, "since internet available to most".

There's far less excuses in today's globalized world to justify cultural relativism.
With thugs I mean criminal as a profession.
"Three sites out of thousands" is disingenuous. Twitter alone is enough to make the difference.

For "RSS is as alive as ever" to be true, it would follow that you'd expect to find as many people publishing their content via RSS as the case before. They're not. There are many, many, many derelict blogs, all effectively abandoned because their authors migrated to Twitter, intentionally/consciously or not.
The problem I see at my company is one of incentives. However much as a manager I want my staff to "maintain" and "care", the performance review process rewards people who can "innovate" and build new things. For instance we have hundreds of legacy reports (e.g. a tabular report for the finance dept built in Crystal) that need maintenance and updates, but it's typically easier and more rewarding for a developer to leave that work to someone else and focus their efforts on getting credit for building a new report (a fairly low information visual report build in Tableau for Execs at the company).

Unlike a person—and relevant to repudiation—a sovereign debtor can just say “I’m not paying you and there is no one with the legal power to compel me otherwise”, and can do so even if they are solvent, and the main effect (usually) is it just makes it harder to borrow for a period of time.
Marriages aren't supposed to end except in death. It's right there in the vows. They are a serious commitment, and I think many take them lightly without realizing that they are intended to be lifelong.
Many do not want to keep it a fiction and somehow they weild a lot of power. Money is speech, they say. It seems like that was a mistake, since now we're in a zero sum game for "the most speech". Those that aren't greedy lose more than money.

I like this metaphor because it fits with the generation of my parents!

That's also the generation of people who don't go to the hospital because anything hurts. They go to the hospital 5 years later for something unrelated, when it's discovered it's 4 years too late to do anything about it.
Somewhat of an aside, but for an example of these, Tripod (Scott Edgar, Steve Gates, Simon Hall) and Austin Wintory wrote a suite of murder ballads for "Assassin's Creed: Syndicate," and they're a rollicking bit of morbid fun.

I vaguely remember reading about a job that required Open Cascade, to do this (designing optics for automotive applications), if that's what you're seeking.
Company was called DBM Reflex in Laval, QC
I'm sure other tools (ie. game engines) will also allow you to model all types of optical effects.
That's the fairy tale definition. For many, it's just a legal term.
