I am an American (culturally) who lives in Croatia, so I am aware of the educational system in mainland Europe and also the UK.

In the US, we only learn "traditional" (non-RPN), calculator entry, and this is even at university level! But, calculators are only allowed for checking our work in mathematics courses, at both secondary and university levels, and never for quizzes/exams/proctored material. But, computer science in secondary school (high school) may be an exception as RPN is a classic example of the usage of stacks.

I think a lot of this has to do with contracts that school districts in the United States have with the calculator ("educational") companies, which have educational material (which is integrated into standard textbooks that you use for the school year) to assist in teaching calculator entry techniques and usage. They also get quite good deals on Texas Instruments calculators, which have no RPN features whatsoever. I really do think that kids (and their educators) not knowing RPN is a huge disservice.

I personally taught myself RPN on an HP 50g while doing my undergraduate electrical engineering coursework, specifically during circuit analysis 1 and electromagnetics 1. Everyone else was using a TI-89 (Texas Instruments 89) and they were learning off of each other how to use various techniques to solve problems, while I was alone with learning stuff on the calculator. Because of the complex entry of various different unit types and integrals, it was a pretty steep learning curve, on the HP 50g, and it took me about a month to get proficient at it.(This is difficult to do on top of the coursework because you are going through your weed-out courses at a "traditional" engineering program where over half the class will not pass these courses! As in, they will either get a D+ or lower, or get a W--a withdrawal grade).

But, it saved me and paid off on exams, while I was using the HP 50t, as people made all sorts of errors on their TI-89s with these really difficult equations, and got major points off. Although many different types of errors are made, a critical one is a missing parenthesis, which causes a ton of points to be taken off on an exam. Also, people with TI-89s ran out of time "double checking for errors" (such as for a missing parenthesis) on exams, and this alone can be the difference between passing and failing a course. The way the stack works on a HP 50g seriously reduces errors.

My (American) father also taught himself RPN at university when he was studying to become an accountant. But, in his case, it was easier to learn, although still not necessarily easy.
Death penalty for "possession"? Did you mean trafficking? Here [1] it says,

> according to the Law on Public Security Administration Punishments, marijuana smokers shall be detained for 10 to 15 days and fined a maximum of 2,000 yuan.

I second this. I was totally against electric, and evidently only due to ignorance. I recently had a chance to use induction for 3 months and my oh my it is magic! Haven’t tried an induction wok though.
> Will the services be forced to accept whatever unmoderated feed of filth the linked to service sends their way?

I was kinda wondering that. If a user gets banned, and moves off-platform to continue the behaviour there, but is somehow magically still linked to everyone they were linked with before... has anything really changed? Will facebook be forced to show its users the same nastiness it just booted off, because of the interop necessities?
Just like the turn signal clicking for cars

They'll also abuse new powers, particularly known-but-unused powers.

My point is that it's better to make the best rules you can for now, rather than limit yourself simply because a bad guy will someday make it worse. They'll make it worse regardless.
I’m curious to understand what you’re looking to benefit from with a SQLite rust clone vs SQLite itself? Would it make writing apps easier? Or would it open up the internals of dB engines to rust developers? Or something else..? Honest question.
I'm running an outdoor pizza oven, outdoor grill, and indoor gas range on NG. If I had to move to an area like new san jose developments that don't have natural gas hookups that'd be pretty sad. Blaming my food cooking for global warming would be a joke especially since 2/3 of those can run on wood.

It doesn't matter. You need to prioritize the issues you discuss by their impact: in this case, Israeli government oversight of these companies. It's dishonest to misdirect away from the real ethical issue which is what the parent is doing. He doesn't have to say anything for me to point out that it's moving the focus away from the real problem.
Yes, a big hurdle to 'solving' climate change is that people are unwilling to make even the smallest sacrifices to solve a problem that they don't perceive as affecting them directly. People refusing to wear masks during the pandemic was/is an excellent example of this.

This sucks a lot. Induction stoves are better than gas stoves but chefs don't like them because it's a new tool the need to learn how to use. They have a many years of experience with their old tool, of course they will say the new thing is worse. We see this in software engineering and technology all of the time. We need to decarbonize the economy and these cities shouldn't be allowing new gas stoves.
Interesting, as there was an article linked either from HN or Pocket about how a lot of "gas is better for cooking" was deliberate advertising campaigns:

No worries. I think the server would look boss with airplane plane switch covers.

I found a few images of translucent covers and I think that it would render the cover floppy if you were to dremel out the barrier that holds the switch in the off position as there's a pretty large coil spring in there.

I looked around some but couldn't find this style cover that didn't have the off-when-closed function too.

Doesn't quite carry the same weight with my name behind it, but I stand by it nonetheless.
Capitalism is extremely efficient at aligning resources for profit. Whether or not that’s what you’d want as a society is another matter.

Personally I’d argue that capitalism is great for non-necessary consumer goods, and disastrous for necessities. My TV is cheaper (inflation adjusted) and measurably superior to what was on sale half a century ago. Unfortunately my house is massively more expensive than it was half a century ago, and unlike a TV I will die sooner if I don’t have some sort of dwelling to live in.

If we’re going to keep capitalism, and the growing sentiment against it here makes me question even that, we need to put stronger safety rails around it.
Cat and mouse game. The foundations of computing must be completely reworked if we are to ever have any real security.

This point is sort of all over the place. Some thoughts (from a former chef)

Blackening: You could do this on anything. I used to work in a cajun/creole place and we had one burner reserved for a cast iron skillet that was on at all times in case someone ordered a blackened whatever. This could be done just as easily on induction

Grilling/Broiling: IDK how you do this without a gas line or charcoal while maintaining timing and flavor. The direct flame required for the cooking also allows for smoke/char that you're going to have a hard time recreating with a heating coil "grill".

Smoking: You can get an electric smoker...but you still need to burn some sort of wood for the smoke. When you get into larger BBQ joints that are doing 50+ shoulders/briskets/whatever a day, IDK how you possibly convert from wood-fire to a fully electric system.

Wood/coal fired pizza ovens: Same as BBQ smokers, there's a difference between this and an electric coil in flavor imparted that changes the end result.Obviously you can make a giant electric pizza oven and have great pizza come out of it, but you literally can't make a Neopolitan pizza without a woodfired oven.
Cooking on gas uses relatively little gas compared to space and water heating. Does anyone know if natural gas stoves can run on propane? Perhaps people could run their gas stove “off grid” as a compromise…

Rule of law is a joke. If you work for your government and don't anger the politicians you can workout sweetheart deals that will shield you from the law completely, unless you fall out of political favour.

But they are breaking the law. Same as many security agencies. It just doesn't matter.
> users contact tech support every time Apple’s notarization service goes down (which is often).

Isn't notarization stapling supposed to prevent this? Or does it do a OSCP/"is this signature still good" check on every launch?
It's not just taking what little gas is used for cooking out of the equation because of the shift to renewable sources of energy. When heating is done with electricity or district heating it makes sense to get rid of the gas infrastructure completely. The maintenance and infrastructure costs for having a gas pipe to every home in every street just for cooking are too high to make economic sense once you take out heating of rooms and water (i.e., the bulk of a house's gas usage).
How do I allow laws? Or rather what does it mean to not “allow” a law?

You are right. Terrorism and cp are commonly used excuses to enable even more surveillance.

When you talk about “allowing laws” it makes it sound as if we somehow got conned into letting them have these laws. In reality powerfull people want these tools. Powerfull people get these tools. Where does the allowing happen exactly?

And don’t tell me that all would be well if only we would vote for the other guy.
Familiarity bias? Maybe you are just accustomed to your current rats nest.

Try building windows images on it. That will balance the love out a bit :)
Yes but no. Quite frankly I love iOS and my apps and the camera etc. The big disappointment is really that there is no power user mode for the rest of us. The computer/phone is really an extension of the mind at this point and we gave up control so easily. It is as if we let corporations lock down our pleasure center.
Yep exactly. it's important to remember that most of SWE are spared from the ugliness of the healthcare problems in the US yet enjoy higher salaries and lower taxes than most of Europe. So it's almost a net win in this regard.
Reminds me, 10 years back, battery cars suddenly seemed so much silent, that they added engine noise played on speaker to alert pedestrians.
I think that sometimes being overly opinionated and incapable of changing your mind is potentially harmful to others, yes… Is it not potentially dangerous to advocate for various political realities based solely on unexamined/individual opinion-based constructs?

I don't like my induction stovetop because the heating is very uneven. I use it for boiling water, but it doesn't work e.g.for searing steak because I end up with a small rectangle that is hotter than the rest.

We need to decarbonize the economy, including food prep. 2 weeks ago, British Columbia Canada recorded temps in the F 120s. Just this past week a huge series of flash floods destroyed a lot of towns and killed 130+ people in Germany and the Netherlands. If we don't attempt to decarbonize the economy, its going to get much much worse.
Why not platform-specific moderation? All social media content is available for consumption by a set of platforms the user authorizes. Those platforms are free to filter or moderate the content as they see fit. While not explicitly spelled out in TFA, this seems like the trivially obvious implementation.
I can concur with this. I am actually the youngest NeRD (NeXTStep Registered Developer) ever. I also programmed Mac applications professionally from just before OS X until after its release. I remember first seeing the API docs for it and being flooded with memories of code from a decade earlier. It was a bit weird. Keep in mind that besides the API, I also already was well versed in Objective C, so it was also not a new programming language. My peers had different experiences.

It's both. It's harder and harder to grind out progress (and if you compare M1 to where the 90's-early 2000's exponential progression, we're not so close).

As it gets harder, it becomes more capital intensive and the probability of success on any given process node decreases. The marginal utility of a doubling of computing is likely decreasing with time, too.

At some point, these factors are going to compound to slow progress. Or: exponential progressions never continue forever.

Still all the other points. And i am REALLY not sure if switching from a company that is known to try to not give data to governments to facebook, which makes it's money by analysing and selling data would make a lot of sense.
I think this is one of the reason Microsoft leadership was historically so rabid about reminding their employees that developer experience was core (because it's the indirect upstream of user experience).

Third party developers are an example of "out of sight, out of mind." It's easy to forget how a feature impacts them. And it's easy to say "We still have apps coming into the platform."

But what you don't see is the frustration, resentment, or apps that were never written because developers found something better to do with their time.

Mac and iOS development isn't there yet, but it sure feels like they aren't trying very hard to steer the ship in any other direction.
In many municipalities it’s illegal to live in a house below a certain size, even if it’s up to code in every other way. This is why most “tiny homes” are on trailers, putting them on wheels makes them technically not homes.

There are also often limits on adding new dwelling space to your land. I would need a permit to add a detached studio to my back yard if it crosses the threshold of being a “dwelling unit”. Usually a bathroom is enough to trigger this regulation.

I have read all of these explanations multiple times and have always had trouble reconciling everything here.

What do the words “liberty”, “purchase”, and “security” mean in this quotation?

As best as I can tell:

- liberty: the right to be sovereign and able to defend oneself

- security: safety from having taxes levied

- purchase: the guys being taxed said instead “look, we’ll give you money this one time instead but we don’t want you to have the right to levy taxes”

Okay, I guess that makes sense.

deploy = basically scp and do a blue/green switch over.

rollbacks = deploy the last version

Scale up = add some more instances and redeploy the current version (not an issue as our load is fairly consistent)

All of those tools, which I have used extensively, increase complexity tenfold. Just considering kubernetes resource allocation and CNI is an art which requires full time staff to manage. Fargate is the only reasonable abstraction I have seen so far on this front.

I really appreciate your points on this. I've come to believe it's impossible to create an incorruptible system. People have choice and can change anything. The harder you fight it, the more subtly it happens.

The best system is one that continually generates a numbered and capable enough cohort unified in a common enough purpose to shepherd it long enough to create yet another generation of shepherds.

Let me withdraw the snarky reply. But a serious question:

What's your solution to the "bad service" problem?

We can consider separately :
(1) the failures that might kill someone, and
(2) just lousy customer service.

The analogy to airlines would be:
(1) a crash that kills people
(2) being late & losing your luggage
ggplot and matplotlib have drastically different purposes. Ggplot is for statistical plots (see seaborn which is built on top of matplotlib for another style of statistical plots library). Matplotlib has multiple interfaces you can use and modern matplotlib code is very consistent and nice to use *if you need full control over your plots* (and it does way more than just statistical plots). The older matplotlib interfaces are indeed a bit of a mess, due to historical reasons.

See bokeh (in python) and makie, gadfly, plots, and AlgebraOfGraphics (in julia) for yet more styles of making high level plots. But again, matplotlib targets users needing more control and less statistics (people build stats and other libraries on top of matplotlib though).
Technically true, but no internet is required to make that account, so it’s a minor inconvenience.

Seems like it'd be mostly useless, though - everyone I know sets up the iPhone without messing with too many settings, which means enabling Find My iPhone (which is on by default). The only place I imagine it being worth it is outside of Apple Stores or cell carrier stores where there's a higher chance they haven't set up FMI yet.
Based on the comments in this thread, I’m guessing the majority of HN doesn’t cook. The switch from an induction stove to a proper gas stove changes the way you cook. No more waiting for the coils to warm up, being able to dynamically adjust the heat, being able to sear bell peppers against an open flame, etc. I’m almost certain I will never go back to an induction stove for cooking.
