Most impressive to me is that the turtle was originally an actual (robot) turtle. Even nowadays with all the fancy graphics, surely students would be much more excited about programming an actual robot than a little triangle on the screen!

And since we're still paying >$100 for 1990s tier graphing calculators (OK, I think they finally got color screens) it doesn't seem infeasible to give each student their own little robot to play around with?

Also, can anyone confirm that the Turtle robot is from the 1940s? What's the story behind that?

The weird thing is how it’s all seems so co-ordinated. As if the HR departments of every firm get their marching orders from some central advocacy group.
Where is the evidence that allowing sideloaded apps will result in an explosion of desktop class apps ?

Hasn’t been the case with Android. And I would say the touch centric form factor is far more an issue.
Yeah, you can get lucky. But if you actually get denied entry and put on the next flight back, you'll wish you'd printed that flight receipt. All it takes is one officer having a bad day. (Or one who doesn't like [insert part of your identity here].)
What's funny is that they insist on pretending that these streamers aren't trying to sexualize themselves. The streamer that caused this blog to be written basically uses her twitch channel as a front to sell her nudes on another site.

If people want to sexualize themselves for money that's their business, the problem is they keep trying to find loopholes in the conduct policy to transform a site about videogames that children frequent into something sexual.

They mention the tools that allow you to filter channels on their website. They make it really easy to block channels that are recommended to you. Why not extend that functionality to the entire site so you can just click 2-3 times and get rid of any channel for any reason forever? The answer is simple: Money.
Each antibody is pretty specific. The immune system makes lots of different ones, even in response to a single foreign protein.

The goal here is probably more characterization than discovery. For instance, here's a higher up Google result for "antibody heterogeneity" published in 1966:

Sure it is. A gaming console has a plethora of alternatives available to the consumer. PCs, other consoles, game streaming, mobile games and other entertainment options.

If you need a smartphone ( and that is everyone for all practical purposes) your only choice is iPhone or Android. There are no substitutes whatsoever and little evidence of the price competition that would show market forces. In the same vein, software developers have no choice if they want to develop for smartphones and it’s hard to think of a substitute.
I feel there is room in the middle. While we should not leave ethics at the door, not every ethical issue is applicable to work (as I’m sure you would agree.)

So while it might be relevant to discuss “woke” issues like discrimination on group characteristics at work because that’s an issue that could manifest itself at work, I don’t think it’s relevant to call for a statement about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict by Google, as is suggested in the article.

Open-minded to contrary opinions though.
Am I to understand by your comment that libertarians are not tolerated on HN?
Will it, though? My expectation is that most apps will still want to be on the main App Store if they can, since installing a third-party app store still represents friction to the install experience.

Perhaps in a more mature market where having several app stores on your phone is commonplace (assuming that even happens), we'll have an annoying situation of exclusives, but I don't expect that "instantly" or even remotely so.
Nice, it's good that they're bringing clarity since there's so much of this sort of content now. Hopefully Twitch becomes more consistent and transparent with how they enforce content policies moving forward. There's very unclear feedback or warnings provided to streamers, and there seems to be quite a bit of nepotism. All sorts of streamers from all different communities can corroborate this.
> Getting decent performance and/or scaling was/is a major challenge.

The rest of what you say I agree with, but the language was never a performance bottleneck over other scripting languages.

It certainly scaled better than ruby or perl or python apps with the same logic.

The fact that each request was fundamentally stateless and ephemeral helped this if you needed to distribute your app and made development faster as well.

Back to V5 it outperformed its competition in benchmarks
It was just a massive toolbox that had everything - session, templates, large bundles of familiar libraries, Apache module.

By far, the most useful tool in the box was probably MySQL. Before then, you had to work with flat files.

Oh, and "magic quotes" was a bad idea ;-)
Why is this comment downvoted? It seems to be nuanced, or are there some studies showing that this is absurd? I'm genuinly curious
>Operating systems (Abstracting away the hardware), Grace Hopper’s invention of program libraries, high level languages and compilers, HTTP and JSON, tcp/ip (replacing custom transmission protocols)

How many of us get to work at such lofty problems though?

>Calculus and the Arabic numeral system are examples in mathematics.

Eye roll. Of course reducing complexity is the very essence of mathematics. Let us not pretend that software engineers are mathematicians.
That text is a sequence that we edit by having a cursor into it as opposed to a specialized form of graphics, maybe? We've inherited the controls of a typewriter (which provided a very simple graphical model for a narrow range of languages), but maybe they aren't what we need?
The Canadian vaccination rate is not 4%. It's as of today in Ontario at 60% of adults single dosed (49% of the population, and 58% of those 12+). The Canadian strategy is to get herd immunity on single doses before moving onto second doses. And judging from what I've seen happen in other countries, and from the emerging data about single-dose effectiveness, it's turning out to be the best strategy.
That is the EVM (Eth, Bsc, Matic) model (spend token as gas to pay for transactions). The EOS model requires staking tokens for CPU and Network, and you must buy RAM (which is account storage) on the open market.

You have described the economic model of smart contract platform cryptocurrencies.

Even Nakamoto chains work the same way, you require previous UTXOs (unspent transaction output) in order to pay the fee to spend them.
Owning bitcoin is the right to spend it, and hopefully all the fees required in order to spend it.
True to a point, but plastic and the cloud were transitioned to for many things a few years ago because of "saving trees". And then overused to the point of surpassing paper's previous carbon output.

Calling to mind palm oil, adopted as more healthy and sustainable. And then also over-done.

Disposability seems a deeper issue: a retreat to forest products doesn't seem the solution.

The fish-catching clear plastic rings that you throw away, or cut up, are bad, the cardboard packaging coated in paints is bad, but the craft beer heavy duty Paktech rings [1] and Roberts' Craft-Paks [2] seem harbingers of a more reusable + indefinably recyclable future, regardless ultimately of the specific materials involved.

Agreed, it would definitely drive engagement to the Epic Games store.

They could even give it a name that symbolizes that, perhaps something like: N-Gage
Don't throw away your phone every couple of years and that phone case will last many, many years. Think of anything plastic that you throw away. The items you list are durable goods and are likely environmentally better and less toxic than what was used prior to plastic.
The reason why politics is traditionally frowned upon in the workplace is to avoid toxic peer pressure and the resulting uniformity.

It is illegal to discriminate against employees for their political opinions, religion, sexual orientation, race, ethnic background, etc. Allowing or even encouraging open political debates in the workplace jeopardizes it.
Years of campaigning for the masses to be scared to open their devices has payed off big time, hardly anyone dares to void their warranty, let alone take a stance against daddy Apple

Read the book "The Golden Spruce" to get a really good understanding of how quickly we decimated the trees in the West.

The rate of forest destruction accelerated so quickly with machinery I don't think it's possible to grasp.
Every new product starts out that way.

Because of the "dihydrogen monoxide" snark.
Reading good code improved my knowledge more than writing.

Instead of adding feature to complete build of Lego set, of you try to solve bugs, improve documentation and try to understand who it was built will surely help you
Ah yeah that might make sense. I’m definitely trying to make music. That being said, I haven’t touched the op-z in a long time and I think I only ever installed the first update, so a lot might have changed!
What I learned recently is that a lot of the "woke" efforts in these large public companies are directed by boards who are answering to Wall St, who are answering to elites and politicians. It's no wonder none of the "wokism" feels so in-your-face instead of genuine and organic.
High security prison visits...for everyone!
You're right that, given a set amount of programming time, working on features versus working on performance is zero-sum.

But that doesn't mean you should always work on features. If anything, it only means that feature-bloat is doubly bad, not only adding logic and binary size, but imposing opportunity cost.

Most users hate features. Nobody has ever sworn at their computer because they had to make a mess in Excel to use VLOOKUP() before XLOOKUP() was invented (even though I love XLOOKUP()). Plenty of swearing happens because the computer just won't respond or it's taking whole minutes to send each email when you're trying to leave work on Friday night.
Eventually shops in eastern San Francisco will need to implement mantraps and buzz customers in to browse. Another is to only offer kiosk service.

Think of it like always having to go to the pharmacy counter to get anything from CVS or Safeway. Call ahead, app, delivery, or curbside are the other options.

Since law enforcement doesn’t appear to have the tools to stop shop lifting, the stores will need to adapt to stay in business.

One last thing, not in the article, but gangs will rob Walgreens delivery trucks in broad daylight too.
I bet this is a side effect of the internet and especially social media. Rapid spread of ideas/memes creates large zones of homogeneity, sort of like the fill-colour operation in paint programs. Suddenly we have "tribes", but with millions of people.

The same phenomenon drives the homogeneous subgroups to extremes, since externally they define themselves in opposition to other subgroups, and internally they egg each other on, rewarding the members who find the most intense new ways to express the identity.

It's not coordinated, except in the sense that the technology allows for forms of replication that never existed before. Because our brains don't expect that sort of world, this maps to a feeling of "it all seems so coordinated", even if we resist that explanation intellectually.
That's a great development, but I'm afraid in a way it's already a lost cause. That stuff is everywhere.
I wanted to show that we don't need UB justified deletes to get good code generation. There was no need to break all that working code when we could have just told people that size_t counters worked better in loops on x86-64 than ints. A lot of C optimization could work that way - relying on cooperation between the compiler and programmers. Java can't do that because Java programmers rely on complex abstractions that need a lot of compiler work to run fast.
That's not a fair analogy at all.

sed is basically the stream interface for ed and it's one of the most common unix text utilities, and even ed has its uses today. I remember using it on a machine I was remotely connected to. For some reason the terminal output was garbled and neither vi nor emacs would render properly, but ed worked fine.
Obviously you wouldn't use it day to day, and yeah, you wouldn't use if you have any alternative at all, either. But the fact that it still has some form of (admittedly very limited) competitive advantage over modern tools makes it useful to have /bin/ed handy, even if you actually use it once in a blue moon.

You start from one specific type of scan and jump to a conclusion about a platform. Without providing any evidence whatsoever regarding the “level of malware” on either macOS or iOS, or what level you’d find acceptable. This is fallacious and not helpful.
I'm just trying to wrap my head around how skewed a poll taken by "a diversity consultancy" would conclude that: "... two-thirds of adults in America want to be able to discuss racial-justice issues at work."
The city became insanely rich and successful due to external factors. It never had to enact reasonable public policies around housing, policing or development because money and people just accumulated regardless. It became a testbed for the insane and incompetent.
Curious if we can put said oil back into the earth we extracted it from, or if there are reasons that ecologically would be a bad idea. It’s interesting to me thinking about restoring the environment to a state prior to human interference.
its a very interesting conundrum because both agree it is inconsequential:

- the left get mad because it is "the least we can do"

- the right get mad because it is performative

ultimately people who have made up their mind on what the right thing to do is aren't really listening to those who disagree because they have believe they own the moral or procedural high ground.
>The estimated per capita emission ranges from 0.23 to 4.7 kg/year, with a global average of 0.81 kg/year. The emissions from car tires (100%) are substantially higher than those of other sources of microplastics, e.g., airplane tires (2%), artificial turf (12–50%), brake wear (8%), and road markings (5%). Emissions and pathways depend on local factors like road type or sewage systems. The relative contribution of tire wear and tear to the total global amount of plastics ending up in our oceans is estimated to be 5–10%. In air, 3–7% of the particulate matter (PM2.5) is estimated to consist of tire wear and tear, indicating that it may contribute to the global health burden of air pollution which has been projected by the World Health Organization (WHO) at 3 million deaths in 2012. Pollution from tire wear and tear also enters the food chain, but further research is needed to assess human health risks.[52]

Apple could sell Bootloader unlocked iPhones and iPads at a higher premium and then tell Epic there’s your freedom. There’s literally no need to interface with iOS other than Epic wanting to tap into the iOS userbase and platform and to not pay for it.
Is Reduce() Bad?
The fact that there isn't a standard form factor for phones is a big part of the problem IMO.
I'm not sure the idea of "no politics at work" is exactly the right mindset.

I like the idea that a narrow mission (corporate or otherwise) allows for coalition building, and that you can sometimes put your differences aside and build something great the world can benefit from (this was an idea pushed by the early defenders of open source and the OSI).

When you build these coalitions, it also somewhat forces you to humanize the people not from your political faction.
Is there an email or twitter handle I can connect on? There might be an interesting project for us to collaborate on.
Nice work and really interesting project.
> The personal aims of the workers are fulfilled best outside of work.

I agree with this idea at face value. But most people spend the majority of their waking hours at work, traveling to work, or recovering from work -- not for the benefit of entrepreneurs, but to afford the cost of living. I think as a society we'd be less likely to inject our politics into our workplaces if we didn't have to spend such a large portion of our lives at work.
I think it's more about anonymous down voting to be very enticing for people who "hate" certain ideologies. Which can go either side, regulation, unionization, I've seen both side comments been downvoted. But on both case, yup, to hell with the nuance.
Walgreens have started to respond by closing stores. Good on them. No one can survive with widespread unmitigated and unprosecuted shoplifting.

Once shops start closing down, people will ask and complain why stores don’t exist in their neighborhoods, or they’re too expensive but low quality. It’s cost of doing business.

‘Cheesy Pudding’, the DA, is high on the list of everyone’s favorite target for a recall, but sadly, I think most people won’t bother with the recall effort and the downward spiral will continue.

Some of the people who espouse these policies see Marxism as an example but Marxism would never ever put up with rampant delinquency.

It's a talk by the creator of PHP about how PHP grew to what it is today. The entire thing is really interesting.

There is actually a reason for things like 'inconsistent' argument ordering. They're ordered based on the C API, rather than being consistent in user land ;).
So then the dodgy repair shop just adds dismissal of that warning to their post-repair validation procedure and the consumer remains none the wiser.
>1. No comprehensive supercharger network. This is a real big deal still.

Yes. I considered CarPlay a must-have feature, but no EVs out there matched the Supercharger network, which led to a Tesla purchase.

>4. No Autopilot.

Tesla is definitely overselling this. The only real time I've used Autopilot for an extended period of time was driving I-5 from SF to/from LA, and other ICE cars accomplish this too.
The good news is that if Epic wins, that could be a reality!
It is true that most plastic is not recycled. It is not true that recycling does not work.

California has 87% of its plastic beverage bottles recycled.

British Columbia implemented an extended consumer responsibility policy that allows the mixed-stream plastic to get recycled through an automated sortation, shredding and sortation system. Their recovery rate of plastic beverage containers was 73.9% in 2017.

Paper produces vastly more carbon than plastic for most disposable items. The existential risk to humans is climate change, more than litter.

We need to control litter and excess plastic by increasing recycle rates. The unwillingness to adopt better recycling infrastructure is due to unwillingness to adopt taxes to fund the conversion (the cost of converting mixed streams is greater than the market price of the output commodity), not because it is technologically infeasible.

The constant theme of recycling that works is government policy that increases the cost of plastic packaging, and uses those funds to stabilize markets or invest in the expensive equipment that it takes to process the material. But it's worth it to do that compared to the wasteful, CO2 blasting approach of "just switch to paper."
Everyone is terrified of stating the obvious.

The police, the politicians, and the press won't carry out their jobs due to fear of reprisal...because the perpetrators are overwhelmingly African American.
The Federal Rules of Evidence permit a judge to question witnesses in addition to the parties. See Rule 614 linked below. And I think you mean plaintiff. A prosecutor generally refers to a lawyer representing the government in a criminal prosecution. This case is dispute between private parties.

The article doesn't suggest social pressure in the form of making fun. On the contrary, it suggests social pressure in encouraging girls to play with boys's toys and vice versa, although the former more than the latter:

> A 2017 survey from Pew Research Center found that a majority of Americans considered it a "somewhat or very good thing" to steer kids toward toys and activities traditionally associated with the opposite gender (though respondents were less enthusiastic about doing so for boys than girls).
As a PoC, I’ve also fielded those comments from white co-workers and it honestly feels like a contemporary version of being blind to race.
