First you need to know you can’t motivate other people. Because if you think about it, the other term for that would be mind control.

Second, by far the most valuable thing you can do is to model the behavior you want to see from them and don’t say a damn thing about it. For example, my children are exquisitely polite. They literally needed no more than about 30 seconds of explicit instruction about manners in their entire lives. That is because I always treated them with the same kind of politeness I use with anyone else, which is considerable.

My kids are also amazing with chopsticks. They don’t even remember not using them. This is considered super important in Asian families, and they just sort of picked it up because my wife and I never pressured them. It becomes a power thing in most Asian families and you end up with all sorts of bizarre struggles and strange training chopstick appliances. We avoided all that by not caring about whether they used chopsticks.

I am a programmer and love programming. My youngest kid didn’t go to college (nor did I). She just sort of knocked around in dumb retail jobs. My wife really wanted her to take classes in programming and I told my wife to chill. Then a couple of months ago the kid decided to learn programming and asked me for assistance. She says outright it never would have happened if there’d been any pressure on my part, especially because she had a terrible experience in a Python programming class in school.

If you really want your child to explore a STEM education, there is nothing stopping you from educating yourself, right now, no matter how old you are. If you show joy in that kind of exploration, your child will show joy in exploration. Maybe not in the areas you like, but it will transfer in some way, I promise. I teach myself hard things all the time, and I am in my 60s with two jobs, bad health, and a difficult home situation. It can be done.
Caught that after I looked through the site. Got totally onioned. Well played.
I guess my definition is wider than that. I was thinking of phones like the touchscreen Nokia Asha phones, they have web browsing, navigation, music, chat, maybe basic facebook/twitter and the usual phone stuff but no app support. I wouldn't call those smartphones either.
Social security does not (currently) start until 62 or 63, and that’s with a hefty reduction in benefit. I expect by the time I retire, full benefits won’t be available until 75 or something, and it will be means tested (and/or the value of the benefit decreased via decreasing value of USD).

I do not know what the ACA subsidies are for people, but the ~$17k annual out of pocket maximum is what kills you. A single heart attack or stroke at the end of the year will cost you $34k (assuming you need healthcare in two calendar years today, who knows how much 2 decades in the future).

Plus, of course, surprise bills from out of network providers.

> You can see it in Stackoverflow as well. The gamification encourages people to prove they are "worthy" of even deigning to ask a question by showing they've done "the work". Those who haven't are subject to humiliation and dismissal, regardless of need or authenticity.

I don't see how stackexchange's policy is related to the article, or "Protestant/Calvinist work-ethic".
They are banning low-effort questions (e.g "File couldn't be opened" when the person just has a typo in a file path) because they devalue the platform, waste time that could have instead been spent on useful questions.

> I suspect that's because it's an export which they've accepted as their own because it happens to jive with the strict authoritarian hierarchies which are common in Asian countries.

Or they independently developed a glorification of hard-work from other sources. It's nothing new. All the Abrahamic religions do, and the same is true for secular ideologies such as communism.
I kinda wish there was a version of Fira Sans with the ligatures from Fira Code.

I code with a monospaced front right now, but I agree with you that there's rarely a serious need for it, and proportional can be easier to read.
in which situation do you have no legal right to time off? as an independent contractor you can take time off as much as you want. you just need to factor that into your fee. the rest is up to you to work out with your employer/client. sure, if you are desperate for work there is a potential for abuse, and then the only thing you can do is to look for other work. on the other hand, there is no penalty for you or them for cancelling the contract (other than the usual contractual stipulations, if legal and enforceable). cancelling a contract is not the same as quitting a job or being fired.
Spinach famously contains iron, but less famously also contains a substance that inhibits iron absorption. So IIRC, it actually lowers your iron, unless you blanch it and throw away the water.
Also, if I understand Smalltalk correctly, the full Smalltalk environment includes substantial runtime services which require a Smalltalk system to "own" everything, so while a C program could host a Smalltalk system and a Smalltalk system could call-out into C code, a Smalltalk system can't support things like C function exports or allow other code to arbitrarily call-in and out of Smalltalk, unlike how other object-management systems like COM, DCOM, and CORBA work. I suppose the problem is similar to getting .NET code to interop nicely with a legacy C++ codebase: a native program can host the CLR, and a CLR-based program can P/Invoke into native DLLs, but due to the requisite steps to set-up an AppDomain (and deal with now-obsolete things like code-access-security) means that it's non-trivial, if not possible, for native code to arbitrarily call-in to CLR code and vice-versa.
The emotion was very evident. That’s what made the post so powerful. You didn’t take it out on the parent poster.
> objectively better than Bash for scripting

This is a wild statement
Raw spinach, some nuts like cashews, and other raw health foods can be high in oxalic acid. This is something of an anti-nutrient, which at best tends to reduce absorption of nutrients and at worst can build up in the kidneys and cause kidney stones.

As with all diet data though, YMMV. Some people eat loads of yaw spinach and never develop kidney stones.

Certainly if you have a familiar history of them, you should avoid raw spinach. Cooking it reduces the oxalates.
This is fantasy land. Spend $3k on a website and you'll most likely end up making $0/month. This is HN, we all know this. There's a lot of work required to go from $0 to $200/mo.

I might not be completely familiar with the vending machine industry.. but I doubt there's a spot out there worth a ton of money that isn't already claimed. Vending machines arent a new concept. And then he has the idea of using a middle man that'll charge him a fee for managing it, who gets to see exactly how much he makes. They're in a perfect position to squeeze him, if they dont straight up pocket a few dollars from it.

This is more 4-hour work week success crap. There are tons of smart people out there.. if you think you can just phone it in, with no unique ideas on well trodden territory.. you're kidding yourself.
Reads like it was written by someone who reads many inflation “truthers,” but is too empirical to believe the hype. Correctly rejects the asset-price inflation theories, which hold that the stock market, Bitcoin, and fine art appreciations are evidence of hidden inflation. Also correctly points out the flaws in CPI, while ignoring the many improved inflation measures, like trimmed mean, the MIT billion price index, or the Fed’s preferred core PCE measure.
The zoning didn't come from nowhere. It's no secret the Federal, State, and Local governments encourage home ownership through policies, programs, and specific tax benefits. It then logically follows that single family homes are the golden standard in America. Which then logically follows that single family homes are built a lot (which do require much space). It then logically follows that the people who move into single family homes want single family home neighbors, not dense apartment or housing structures, as evidenced by the zoning laws which are typically passed at city councils with vocal citizen participation. Read into other reasons or causes that surround those facts (NIMBYism, racism, whatever-ism), but these are the basics. I also would expect any group of people to act similar fashion, regardless of demographics or other superficial characteristics. People are protective of their neighborhoods.

So that is to say, the situation we have arrived at, however unfortunate, is entirely unsurprising, and not that hard to figure out why it is so.
There is no need to justify it. Cybercrime is a relatively small price to pay compared to the value provided by private cryptocurrencies. Their usage by criminals is actually a great way to see if they really work.
I'm pretty sure sh just runs the commands in a subprocess using the shell, so it isn't like shelljs at all. From the linked page:

"Note that these aren’t Python functions, these are running the binary commands on your system by dynamically resolving your $PATH, much like Bash does, and then wrapping the binary in a function. In this way, all the programs on your system are easily available to you from within Python."
Or they bought one with poor range or no good fast charging network and didn’t realize they have options now.

There’s a lot of ignorance out there!

Other things are changing too. Employers are realizing that providing charging is table stakes. More chargers are being built out.

In some places landlords are now legally required to approve a tenant’s written request for permission to install charging equipment.

Yes you still have to choose your new rental wisely, but if you have fast chargers as a backup it’s hardly a crisis if there’s a gap.

One also can think fully through whether burning gasoline is sustainable…
We only leave in a simulation at the first level, but the thing running the simulation live in a world with rules too and they must influence the shape of the simulator.

Saying God created the world or the universe is a simulation is as dissatisfying a response as saying humans were made on Earth. Sure why not but what made it, did it start, will it end, how does it work at the most fundamental level? How does God's processing of information actually works ? That s what we must understand, up to the end.
All of your points are valid, and seem to be backed up by data, but only apply to urban driving.

In my opinion, the majority of the benefit from safety tech is in parking lots or the highway. You don't need blind spot monitoring or adaptive cruise control on a stop-and-go single lane city street. These features only make sense cruising at highway speed or pulling out of a parking spot.

It's possible that ""full"" self driving cars will make drivers feel less responsible in the cities. I think the transition to genuinely autonomous cars is going to be slow and painful regardless.
Nuts, seeds, low-carb vegetables, fiber supplement, occasional fruits especially berries (exception is a avocado every day). No red meat. Fish or chicken or turkey 2-3 times per week. Occasional eggs. Fish should be wild caught and either salmon or small like sardines, herring, mackerel , etc. Probiotic and prebiotic foods. Limited dairy and only non-cow daily unless it’s A2.

/r/CryptoCurrency has never been more active, and while much of that could certainly be attributed to the recent price gains, going from 500 comments a day in Jan 2020 to 40,000 comments a day today is more than can be explained by just the price.

So objectively speaking, CryptoCurrency is more appealing/engaging now than ever before. The only question is how much of that can be attributed to Moons. As for /r/EthTrader, the split happened before donuts were even launched, and that was due to a smear campaign that was run against them by a few influential users.

EthTrader saw rapid growth in subscribers after donut introduction, and is today one of highest subscriber crypto forums.

So I do think Reddit rolling out Ethereum-based ERC20 tokens site wide makes sense from an engagement perspective, and will also go a long way in enabling more decentralized and distributed ownership structures, that allow for more effective economic coordination. If Reddit successfully executes on the plan, it will also mean hundreds of millions of people having a new source of income.
I’ve got an easy way to solve those issues for you: throw out your TV.
Indeed. C is generally called a general-purpose programming language (the first sentance of it's wikipedia even says that), as are most things we today consider... well, general-purpose programming languages.

Wikipedia even has an article for "General-purpose (programming) language". This term is already taken and in use in computer science for decades, and used more broadly than apparently the OP would like.

> A general-purpose language is a computer language that is broadly applicable across application domains, and lacks specialized features for a particular domain. This is in contrast to a domain-specific language (DSL), which is specialized to a particular application domain. The line is not always sharp, as a language may have specialized features for a particular domain but be applicable more broadly, or conversely may in principle be capable of broad application but in practice used primarily for a specific domain

-- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General-purpose_language

If you're going to say it meaning something different by it you should probably say what you mean. It just sounds like a weird boast.

There are multiple theories as to where the name strawberry comes from, but that one is known to be wrong, because the name dates back to before they were cultivated. The one I find most plausible is that it comes from "strewn berry". Similarly, gooseberries never had anything to do with geese, the name is supposed to come from a Dutch or French or German or Japanese word, none of which sound much like gooseberry.
>>A Ford Mustang has the same sticker price as it did when I bought mine 10 years ago. So, if there's inflation, Mustangs have comparatively gotten cheaper.

I am not sure where you are getting your prices, in 2011 Base Mustang v6 coupe sticker was $22,145. Adjusted for CPI to official 2021 dollars that would be $26,076.

Base model 2021 Mustang v6 Coupe starts at 27,155, which is about 4% more than CPI indicated would be accounted for by official inflation

The difference is even more if we look at the GT500, which in 2011 was $53,645 which in official 2021 dollars would be $63,169 yet the 2021 GT500 has a sticker price starting at $72,900 a full 13% higher than inflation.

So please tell me where you are getting a 2021 Ford Mustang new for the EXACT same price as one would have paid in 2011??? Or you got massively ripped off 10 years ago... My current vehicle today has book value of about $1,500 MORE than when I bought it used 3 years ago (about a 1% increase in value), late model cars do not normally go UP in value as they age, but mine has in the last year or so....

as to the Peg Board, in my area right now a 4x8 sheet of Peg Board @ the local home depot is $25.. Definitely not $5 as you seem to believe, lumber prices (and peg board is in that) is up somewhere around 400% this year as there are MASSIVE shortages for building supplies of all types but especially wood based products
tracing back to the source of the chart...

>Cass calls this calculation the Cost-of-Thriving Index. It measures the median male annual salary against four major household expenditures:

> • Housing, defined as the annual rent for a three-bedroom house in the 40th percentile of the local housing market.

> • Health care, defined as the annual premium on a typical family health insurance policy.

> • Transportation, defined as the average cost of owning and operating a car driven 15,000 miles per year.

> • Education, defined as the average cost of tuition, fees, and room and board at a four-year public college.

Why is education being overweight by a factor of several times? The other items are the annual cost of expenses that you incur annually. But education is only incurred 4 years out of the 80 years you're alive. Giving them the same weight as the other items is ridiculously misleading.
what does that mean? are you getting money from somewhere that you are only entitled to if you have a job?
I would not call English a programming language. Programming languages, formal languages designed for instructing a computing device, are pretty different than natural human languages.

> “Gauge theory” is a term which has connotations of being a fearsomely complicated part of mathematics – for instance, playing an important role in quantum field theory, general relativity, geometric PDE, and so forth. But the underlying concept is really quite simple:

Then goes on to write an incomprehensible novella length explanation.

I like Tao, but this is a problem in 'pure' maths. I feel the issue is exacerbated by the fact that if you can follow along with Terry then you likely will be unable to recognise the issue.

A good counter point is this series by Timothy Gowers developing a proof of "Pingala's Determinant".

When Gowers finds the proof he states:

> Since this clearly has determinant 1 and this clearly has determinant 1, so does their products, ie. Pascal's[sic] determinant is 1. Could have done that, but that would have been uh, well depends on what you find interesting, but that would have been really sort of rabbit out of the hat, look what a billiant clever mathematician I am. I can just sort of produce this fabulous identity out of nowhere and it's got a nice simple proof that also came out of nowhere. What I want to emphasize is these sort of proofs don't come out of nowhere.

Timestamped to quotation: https://youtu.be/m8R9rVb0M5o?t=886

The series is great and will show anyone outside the field of pure maths that even pure mathematicians use numerical reasoning while trying to reason about a subject.

I read the Assassin's Apprentice series through, but it didn't really satisfy, and I haven't read anything else by the author. I like the Malazan ones, and ASoIF, a lot more - partly the grimdark, but more so the overall complexity of the plot. While Hobb's work was pleasant it just didn't really engage me.
Dealing with tabs (and when it isn't enough, multiple windows of browsers) is the worst part of computing I experience. Really, the bane of my existence.

When I'm developing / doing research, I have to juggle multiple questions with possible answers spread on multiple sites and after a while it gets out of hand. Organizing as I go does not work because I need the flow and organization kills it. Leaving it be doesn't work after a while because the friction of going back to what you need becomes insurmountable.

And if you are multitasking (divert your attention to a different problem / research topic with the intent of going back to the original problem later on) it becomes an absolute nightmare as the mess is multiplied.

I do use extensions to stash tabs, but they generally stash with page headers and not all page headers are informative.

Someone who knows what they are doing should really solve this problem.
In TypeScript classes are in no way foundational. At the type level they are roughly implemented as a combination of two types: the instance type and the "newable" constructor function type.

Those were anchovies. Anchovies are generally prepared salt packed and filleted. So they're thinn and salty. Very good for pizza.

It needs to be asked again, why are critical services on the Internet ?

We all know why, companies are chasing profits at any cost, so hiring more people to monitor these systems as the did 40 years ago will lower the execs bonuses.

The US Gov should make it clear, if you are a critical service and if your service drops due to items being on the internet, for each occurances 10% of your total revenue (including your parent companies) are forfeited.

That will get them serious about security.

They want to ensure ransoms are paid by there being lots of sources that say they do what they say. The kneejerk reaction is to be skeptical and waste time. The only reaction is to determine if you have a backup or not, or if the consequences are favorable or not. In all of the “or nots” then you pay and move on.
