PICO-8 is fantastic, but ultimately way less flexible and powerful than Flash.

That's not a dig at PICO-8, it's limited on purpose. But the strength of Flash was that it was extremely flexible and exposed an architectural style that lent itself very well to prototyping. PICO-8 does have all of its tools built into the same app, but it doesn't have anything at all like a movie clip system, it doesn't even have events or a timeline. I think it just has very different goals, it's a philosophy built around having a small, self-contained, understandable system -- not around having a unique workflow.

The closest programming/architecture analogy I draw to PICO-8 isn't Flash, it's the TI-83 graphing calculator. That platform also had a lot of influence over how I learned to program, and it had similar strengths to PICO-8 in how limited it was and how that forced you to get creative and allowed you to really deeply understand what was going on in your program.

Where I do see PICO-8 getting adjacent to Flash is in the community. I think when some people say they miss Flash, what they really miss is sites like Newgrounds and the surrounding indie scene. PICO-8 does capture some of that, it's a great environment to learn to code in, and it's a fun environment to work in. I just don't think it captures any of the tooling. When I say I miss Flash, I kind of miss the indie scene, but I miss the tooling more.
I have no firsthand knowledge of Indian home cooking, but here's an article about it which claims it's common.

From what I've seen in passing most people attribute rising heart disease to economic prosperity leading to a more westernised diet but I haven't really looked into it.
agreed that "transfer" sounds and feels similar to "transplant". But imo the "transplant" part in "fecal matter transplant" was not the part that was problematic for public perception lol.

I think both "digestive microbiome transfer" and "digestive microbiome transplant" sound perfectly fine, as both get rid of the "gross" part of the name. But I think that "transfer" is slightly better, because "transplant" invokes associations with something being surgically put into my body and attached to stay there permanently. While "transfer" doesn't have the same sense of permanence and seriousness attached to it.
As I see it, with physical goods, unlike software, production costs go up with revenue. So you can't simply growth hack your way out of fundamental inefficiencies.
Thank you for posting this. The project looks promising. You do you. Godspeed.
Confirms my intuition, but the magnitude of the effect seems like it’s probably overstated. 5.8% vs 31.5% would suggest a lot more infection occurs via the eyes than seems plausible.
I've been using Spyder for my whole DS master and rarely experiences crashes on Ubuntu, unless I've managed to go OOM. That being said, I've been using Spyder 4 via pip since the 4.0.0 release while Spyder 3 was still the default on conda. Autosave is definitely useful.

Thanks. It’s nice to see I’m not the only one remembering their arrogant attitude and approach to development, or with these concerns about technical details. It’s unfortunate that Macports became the boring one compared to Homebrew’s new hotness, because Macports is the better design, TCL port files notwithstanding.

> not everything

I didn't say or imply that. Please stick with what I wrote.

> maybe when it concerns issues of poverty

Maybe you'd prefer statistics. Modern poor people today are much taller than medieval kings (I've seen Henry 8's armor). Height is a strong indicator of having been well fed with good nutrition throughout childhood.

American poor children grow tall and strong. They don't work. They get 12 years of free education. They have good clothes (not rags). There are plenty of government programs to give them free medical care, housing, indoor plumbing, and electricity. They can visit a free library with vast resources available for the asking. They likely have a phone in their pocket with instant access to anyone in the world and a pretty large chunk of all the world's information. They don't suffer from smallpox, measles, mumps, rubella, chickenpox, polio, typhoid, diphtheria, tuberculosis, typhus, rickets, scurvy or cholera.

They live longer than medieval kings did, too.
Because if all it took to make a vaccine for a respiratory disease was stick some peptides up your nose, we would havev a lot more vaccines (and i dont mean just for covid.).

Even if the other parts are harder (not sure if thats true. The reason proving things work is hard is because most initially promising candidates dont actually), it doesn't follow that every single vaccine candidate works.
Paying more in taxes isn't going to do much for hunger. I mean the bulk of taxes collect goes to pay salaries and benefits of government employees. The next tranche goes military spending, then after that to companies who lobby well to get government contracts.

Taxes are not a panacea to improve the lives of the lowest in society.
I think that people do indeed have a harder time perceiving the physical structure of the code, especially if they’re not spatially oriented as thinkers, e.g. myself, I’m a Linguistics person first and foremost, not very good at spatial reasoning.

You should really consider using linters as a teaching aid. They help a lot, and would indeed catch the problem you noted about js.
> I want to see how it competes with Apple's M1 processor in speed (especially that the web page writes that it's a fast laptop)

That's a goal, not a specification. The project hasn't chosen a processor. They aren't even sure it'll be RISC-V.
The NYT is a venerable news organization. One of the few left. They don't get everything right, but when they get it wrong they retract. And in most cases, they also seem to do proper due diligence for their stories as well as follow proper journalistic standards.

Ask HN: How to Find an Apolitical Job?
For the last couple of years I have worked in two different jobs as a full stack developer. Both of them were really interesting, the stack, the problems, the people, the domain. The first one was in banking, the second one in science, where I still am (starting year 3).
In both of those jobs I noticed the same pattern happening with time. A very politically engaged developer/manager/activist would get hired, then we would start receiving from him/her a lot of articles about inequality, feminism, racism, or white fragility, he/she would then start “activating” some other people to his/her cause, then at some point someone would propose that we should go through some kind of anti-racist/anti-sexists/anti-anything training, at which point the atmosphere between people is usually so weird that I decide to change my job. This is literally the point I am at now.

I feel like I’m being brainwashed at work, with no ability to stop it, other than by changing my job. I want to do programming, if I’d wanted to learn about the critical race theory I would have gone studying whatever you study to learn it. Any attempt to ask people to move their conversation to a dedicated political channel are being ignored or worse, labeled as “insensitive”, sometimes with a lecture about how “everything is political anyway”.

This is a throwaway account, so please don’t send me actual job offers, but instead I would really appreciate if people could tell me what kind of job I need to look for to get as far away from those weird political people as possible? (This is not a troll post, I am honestly asking for help).

I assume working close to academia probably doesn’t help, so to not make the same mistake for the third time, how do I find places that focus on programming?

Is this an official release or did the submitter just stumble across it? Last I looked version 6 has been in development for a few years.

(Disclaimer: I do use CodeMirror in a personal project of mine but haven't tried 6 because I'm not great at Javascript and there are not many examples of how to use it, although there are tons for 5.)
A vim plugin exists, but it's very limited.

"The year global health went local"
I couldn't post the whole post due to the character limit so here it is:

For the last couple of years I have worked in two different jobs as a full stack developer. Both of them were really interesting, the stack, the problems, the people, the domain. The first one was in banking, the second one in science, where I still am (starting year 3).

This is literally the point I am at now.

Now, some context. I am about 30 y/o, naturalised citizen of the UK, where I moved about 8 years ago. I am interested in politics, philosophy, science, and many other things, and I talk a lot about them, but either online, or in person/via direct messages with friends. I frequently disagree with things that are being presented as the only truth in those political conversations/courses at work, but I do not want to waste my time to argue about them during my work hours, and not only because of the fear of being labelled racist/sexist/bigoted and reported to HR. It’s also a bit of what Paul Graham wrote in “What you can’t say”: “If your aim in life is to rehabilitate the color yellow, that may be what you want. But if you're mostly interested in other questions, being labelled as a yellowist will just be a distraction."

I am obviously not a proponent of racist/sexism/x-ism, so it’s not just a question of me working with people with whom I disagree politically. For the same reason I would not want to work in a company where the constant theme is “building the wall”, or the Tories, or anything really.

I feel like I’m being brainwashed at work, with no ability to stop it, other than by changing my job.

I think these arguments always end up with these kinds of rhetorical questions that then get upvoted because it makes people feel good about the fact that they themselves aren't doing anything to make the world better.

To answer your question from my view, yes Amazon is freaking awesome and has made the world better for me. It has saved me literally thousands of hours of doing things I don't enjoy, which are driving and shopping in stores. In exchange I even get a better experience and lower prices! It has also funded TV shows I like, made books and audiobooks easier to access than ever before, made it easier for me to eat healthy foods by allowing me to order fresh food online without owning a car. Also, it has made it easier than ever to start an online business because it pioneered the cloud. I could go on.

Just because someone is not doing the exact thing you want them to do doesn't make them bad. There's endless problems to solve, and Amazon decided to solve a subset of them that they deemed important and profitable. It's not like all the problems in the world would be gone without Amazon. Walmart wasn't a shining beacon of hope when Amazon didn't exist, and neither was any other large retailer.

Climate change is a big problem, but you can't force people to work on only the things you think are important. I'd rather live in a world where everything goes to shit but we still get to choose what we do with our lives than one where you decide for me what problems I need to dedicate my life to. The government should be providing much higher incentives/disincentives for dealing with climate change, and businesses will solve problems when the incentives line up. Don't expect businesses to shoot themselves in the foot for no reason.
People seem to have actually liked the ice cream. Most every company will do marketing, nothing evil about that.
I've just switched from using Disqus to this type of setup. I create a GH issue for each post, and then pull comments using the Github API. This article has a great overview of how it can work: http://donw.io/post/github-comments/
I don't understand your question. Kite doesn't come pre-installed with Spyder. We only show a dialog once informing users that Spyder can use Kite to improve code completions in our editor.

After that, if a completion can't be provided by Jedi but it could by Kite, we show another message, which can dismissed entirely.

Both things don't force you to install Kite, but also show a button in case you want to do it within Spyder.
That appellation seems inappropriate in this case. They made good ice cream. At least it was good to me. And the customer service I received at multiple locations was good too.

The only marketing I received was word of mouth referral.
You can actually do much worse than nothing with antibody dependent enhancement. Let's say you make something that at first glance appears similar to the virus but is a little off. Maybe you chose the wrong proteins, or maybe you used an inactivated virus and the inactivation step damaged some key part of the virus. You inject the vaccine and your body learns how to make antibodies for this particle.

Now the real virus shows up, your body goes "Aha! I've seen this before let me make those antibodies." But it wasn't trained on the real virus, so the antibodies it makes aren't actually effective against the real thing. The virus replicates and your body makes more and more antibodies but they do nothing to stop it. Meanwhile the the antibodies are running rampant in your body causing inflammation and blood clots.

This has happened before with vaccine candidates, and is analogous to what goes in on severe covid. The body tries to respond to the invading virus but does so ineffectively and causes potential deadly damage.
For anyone else whose life is similar, I just want to say that I have had jobs where I truly enjoyed going to work. I only had the “sunday scaries” just to participate in the meme of hating work. But I was really anticipating picking up where I left off at work.

So although you might find comraderie in other wage workers hating their life, still recognize that it is toxic and there are other realities that you are entitled to be in
I'm so perplexed that someone would feel the need to attack an open source developer for a gentle suggestion of an optional donation.

You're free to pretend there's a constrained license, and pay the project for their work. Are you saying you'd rather be forced to do so by a license? That makes no sense -- you can do it without being forced, if you want to.
...so let me get this straight: you are not allowed to make mistakes in your life, because everything is digitally archived nowadays that can backfire at any time?!

What happened to

* learn from your mistakes
* trial and error
* getting wiser as you grow up
* growing up means talk less and think and act more

and all these kinds of questions?

Where are we going people?

I cannot imagine what young kids go through in this time and day when they do a mistake.

Are we forbidden from making something stupid and silly?

This is not normal everyone, not normal at all :/
I think you are saying companies should break US laws regarding a topic (religious discrimination) while abroad in order to honor foreign laws if that is necessary in order to operate in a country.

I think they should not consider operating in that fashion. They can push for regulation themselves if on their withdrawal they want to prevent an advantage to less ethical US competitors who stay.
It might also help push them off the fence, as they see their cover from the sewage storm disappear.
That's just lack of leadership skills and possibly incompetence about subfields of development they don't have experience with. It can become toxic in its own way when the first bully/troll is hired since that person will pull the wool over this poor dev manager's eyes and make everyone else's lives terrible through bikeshedding and pointless meetings to debate unnecessary architecture proposals.

The argument Python fans will give is the ecosystem: it has many mature libraries.

Shell scripting, e.g. dev ops? Ruby for me, Perl for complex regular expressions.

Web development? This depends.

High performance environment? Golang, C.

Basically, the care where Python is called for is the scenario where it offers a library you absolutely need, not anywhere it’s definitely the best language for the job, because it rarely is.
Thanks for the confirmation @buo. There's really nothing special about installing Spyder, i.e. we don't install Kite behind the scenes or anything like that.
Might as well change it to their own release: https://blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issues/2021/02/05/changes...

They’re only going to promise to stop that until 2022. I wonder if they will ask for their money back from those campaigns they’ve already donated to since the election too.

The weirdest thing is that they seem to think they can get away with just putting “voluntary” in the name and basically carrying on as before. It was voluntary before yet somehow they managed to convince employees to give to it, so are they adding that because people thought that it was compulsory for employees? I feel like it’s either trying to quell some internal “we’ve been tricked into giving movement and this PAC isn’t representative of the employees who pay into it” movement, or they’re trying to distance the company’s public image from a bunch of donations which oppose their stated corporate values, as if people will think that the voluntary contributors are driving the choice of donations (well I guess the executives all make “voluntary” donations.) I find that harder to believe.
> "very intelligent and highly educated people who went to top universities"

Imagine trusting a "rocket scientist" to even weigh in on medical topics because they are "very intelligent" in their totally unrelated field. This is an unfortunate misconception that plagues conspiracy theory extremists who reference PhD graduates in their arguments against things like 5G brain control.... pointing to people with doctoral degrees in Music or something.

I said I don't know the exact relationship between RH and DTCC because it isn't public. Why would they be asking the DTCC for credit? That is absurd on the face of what collateral is there for.

They can borrow money and use that for collateral which is exactly what they did. And there is a massive world of difference rolling up to a bank/investors saying "Hey I have settled funds, I need to borrow money to post as collateral" vs "Hey I lent people a bunch of money, I need to borrow a money to post collateral".

> Under 40 the survival rate is 99.98% for everyone -- including the already ill

I doubt that. But I'm not entirely sure how to calculate the numbers you just said.

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid_weekly/index.htm

I realize this page changes, so I've taken a screenshot here: https://imgur.com/0iM5FHC

This is the chart of who died in January 2021. Yes, most deaths are aged 65+, but there's been deaths in all age categories. I doubt its 99.98% as you suggest (especially since the current case-mortality-rate is ~2.5%, at least for my state)

The official CDC numbers are stratified from 35 to 44, I'm not entirely sure who you are citing to get "below 40" age groups.
I’m not familiar with the code. But my assumption is that it’s not that they chose to use an 8 bit integer for the y-version field. It’s that they chose to use a 24-bit number for the whole version. OxXXYYZZ - Eg 0x050801 for kernel version 5.8.1. That lets you compare kernel version A with kernel version B using a simple u32 cmp. They could have used 16 bits per version field - but that would have needed a 64 bit integer, which is much slower on some of the systems Linux used to run on back when that decision was made. In retrospect that was a bad choice, but I’m sure it seemed fine in the 90s.

The problem is that if they spill the minor version to 16 bits (xxyyyyzz) then kernel version 4.256.1 is “newer than” kernel 5.8.1 - because 0x04010001 > 0x00050801. And that’s a compatibility breaking change.
Aren’t we supposed to be an industry that prides ourselves on tackling hard problems? We can’t build high tech pattern recognition systems and then just throw our hands up when there’s a false positive.
Indeed if the recruiter/hiring manager even gets a whiff that you're potentially wasting their time - it's game over.
the transmission loss itself really doesn't matter on the scale of a phone or tablet. we're talking about less than 10 Wh wasted per full charge (assuming a 40 Wh battery, much larger than we see in phones). this adds up to a large number when you multiply across millions of iOS users, but it could be totally offset if each of them chose a single LED indoor light to run for one hour less each day.

a more compelling argument might come from the battery degradation angle. wireless charging accelerates battery wear, leading to a battery or entire device being replaced prematurely.
