Overloading the learner with examples from multiple languages is also a bad teaching method. It just adds to the confusion and complexity. They will be overwhelmed with the different techniques needed to bolt functional programming on to various degrees in C#, JavaScript, Rust, etc.

When teaching, it's much better to teach as little as possible at a time, so that learners can absorb concepts easily through their working memory and then build on their knowledge over time.
Is complete industrialization a positive?
So there's an entire virtual world that needs to exist, but only virtually, to support the real world? That looks like the modern Ptolematic system to me.

I had a Backpack parallel printer port hard drive back then. I could boot my DOS floppy with the driver, and have full access to 300 megabytes of stuff. It made installing stuff so much easier.

Yes, of course I had spare boot floppies. 8)

Apple Music is the only thing holding it back for me right now. It's still a long way behind Spotify at the same price point. I have tried to switch multiple times but keep coming back.

The combination of duration class and capacity is useful, though. 1MWh of 10-hour storage gives you a very clear idea of usable energy.
the fact that a conman with ties to organized crime and indebted to foreign governments could ever assume the highest political office in this country is a complete disgrace. he was _voted_ in!

it scares me to think about what a more devious version of him could have accomplished. i think he would have caused untold amounts more damage if he were empowered to do so - credit to the US system neutering him then, I suppose I must concede that

i think it is disingenuous to bring up mao in comparison anyway, china today is vastly different politically
“The WHO information notice is not a retraction; rather, it is a clarification for laboratory professionals on how to interpret PCR results.”

Why would WHO feel the need to tell people to read the operating manuals closely? I’m sure its not because the accuracy was too high.
Curious how this will interact with the likes of CryptoVoxels, Decentraland, and The Sandbox.

Looking Glass Portrait – Holographic Display
From what I know, full text search in Postgres (and MySQL) does not have faceted search. So it only supports returning full text results from the entire index.

Actually, it is possible, but doing a search on a particular segment of rows is a very slow operation - say text search for all employees with name matching 'x', in organization id 'y'.

It is not able to utilise the index on organization id in this case, and it results in a full scan.
I think that's true, but I also think there's unique, or at least highly specific, aspects to police culture which also come in here. It's come out that a lot of police training is very explicitly "us vs. them" in its approach -- reinforcing the message that every call you go out on could be your last, every person you interact with could be a dangerous criminal, you should be prepared to do whatever it takes to get the bad guys and other officers are your only line of defense. So it's not as much "if I take this guy's misconduct to HR, they won't do anything anyway" as "if I take this guy's misconduct to HR, I will have betrayed my fellow officer." And it's that, that "thin blue line" mentality, that really needs to be tackled.
I think they just wrote Linux to substitute for UNIX in general, as the only UNIX (derivative) that matters.

For younger devs, it's all Linux (vs Windows/MacOS/etc).

UNIX and its variants is some distant history, like Multics or VMS was to 90s devs. Even FreeBSD is some niche thing they'll seldom, if ever, encounter (much less install).

Heck, 20-something year old devs still hadn't reach puberty when SUN still mattered and was a thing.
What's the next 10x technological innovation for no code? What would it take to remove programming from web development? Bubble seems excellent, but it is in a competitive field.

Of course not; there will be many walled gardens.
The new metaverse will be encased in a proprietary "security meta-metaverse" inside of an "analytics meta-meta-metaverse," and will include a "meta-meta-meta-meta-like button with up to six different emotions attached, including a new predatory emotion based on our founder's unique outlook on life," according to advance PR.
Don't even think about using Slack on a spotty internet connection.
What the article didn’t mention is that trying to work with a camera constantly on is highly stressful for some people.

In any event, even including the mine shafts, elevators are an order of magnitude less dangerous than stairs. And way less dangerous than cars.
What a truly awesome product and mission. Inspiring, to say the least. Are you hiring software engineers?

It’s the lack of thinly veiled, or even outright advertisements. UIs are no longer designed for usability, but for manipulation and greater conversions
Looking through the list sorted by HN points I've come across quite a few that have not been updated in anything from two to five years.

Perhaps it'd be a good idea to add a "last post on" or some other indicator of activity.
Have you actually explained it to people that way and had them get it? I think most people would just understand what you described as an iterative process, and understand recur as being no different than repeat.
Hopefully anyone with some understanding of projective geometry, analogy, cognitive science, and physics can grasp the overall system.
Squarespace pages don’t always have a feed, unfortunately
This is exactly the issue I’m currently facing. We do a bunch of count queries to calculate facets and am looking for something that can do this out of the box.
I’m glad I came to the same conclusion myself, either solr or elasticsearch might be the way to go. Starting this from scratch, which of the two would you recommend and why?
Roaming base stations seems simpler than the intra constellation communication at least. It seems like it's largely a problem of doing the discovery on the fly where the multihop communication requires some pretty dynamic routing and complex laser pointing and decoding. I imagine they'll figure both out but the intra constellation communication will be limited to customers like ships where it's required or for people willing to pay for the speed since there's some speculation it could be useful for HFT in places that microwave antenna routes can't be laid easily.

The coup failed on two counts. First it didn’t get enough support within the military to be viable. Second even Erdogan’s political opponents fought against it.

Given history there’s always been a fear of the possibility of a coup at some point. Hopefully that episode has resoundingly shown coups in Turkey are not an option anymore. So yes it failed spectacularly and I think that’s the important point.
Thanks for mentioning this. I would get incredibly tense in a situation like this. Did I pick my nose? Did I spill water all over my shirt again because my bottom lip decided to give out? Does my bed look wrinkled? Did I smell myself? etc. etc. etc.
Good luck. The positive way forward is an open source identity service that’s separate from these publishers (Facebook, TakeTwo, etc).

People will flock to whatever metaverse they want, on demand. Look at GTA V, what an incredible world.

Beyond the creative aspect of creating a compelling metaverse, the primary challenge is fraud and abuse.
The new Windows 11 Settings icons are pretty fantastic— full color and lots of distinctive shapes.

Unfortunately, we’ll probably be at Windows 20 before the last of the Windows 8-style monochrome icons finally finds its way out of Windows, because that’s how things go at Microsoft. (It’s harder than it used to be, but I’m pretty sure you can still find a few Windows 95-era icons hanging around, and there are definitely still some 2000 icons in there).
Windows 95 was actually very snappy. New operating systems are sluggish.
> I can also do that again for Android, and again for Windows and again for macOS.

This is one file at best per platform, even less now given the frameworks available. And what you learn in the process goes on to benefit your career forever.

> Being able to invite a friend to participate on what I'm doing without them having to install a native app IS a step forward in user experience.

This is entirely subjective. And webapps have their own version of this by forcing usage of chrome, forcing account creation, forcing facebook usage, etc. Web experiences for anything complex doesn’t exactly instill confidence given the shaky experience and devs inability to create seem less offline experiences even with all the required transports available.

Then there’s performance aspects of things. Things like Unreal Engine Editor running in the web, or blender, just seems ridiculous. Sometimes you need native performance.

There’s also security issues with each additional API and web has a bad history with security.

People are making and remaking collaboration apps every day. They’re a dime a dozen now. Apps that truly are innovative that people use to create more things are still native apps for good reason. Otherwise the current set of features supported by safari is enough for me to do my daily work and I feel like Im missing nothing by not using chrome.
the methods are clearly not as explicit and the US tolerates more diversity of thought on a lot of topics, but it absolutely exerts control over ideas it deems important. it's pretty hard to come out of our education system thinking poorly of ancient greece and rome, the liberal tradition, etc.

This is very exciting, was considering to get Oculus quest 2 but then all of the apps in the store seems to be heavily dominated by games.

This might be a game changer where majority non gamers will finally have a reason to get a VR. As a developer I'm also intrigued to see the api and whats the possible outcome of this.

Not sure when is the launch date, but personally VR hasn't been that exciting before (for the past decades??).
This "single business product" has been dominant enterprise and small bussiness tech for 30+ years. 300M isn't that impressive given this. And it's not something users seek and opt, it's something business demands and buy in bulk for them. Plus it's losing ground, replaced by other SaaS.

Whereas Apple built their 700M from nowhere (near bankcrupt sub-2% market share in 1997, starting building their subscription offering past 2007, and more seriously, past 2012 or so).

> Among Silicon Valley circles, a fun parlor game is to ask to what extent world GDP levels are held back by a lack of computer science and technical training.

Typical Silicon Valley hubris.

Imagine how high GDP would grow if we had millions more <literally every skilled field in existence>?

They also make the same mistake our clueless political leaders and media make when they tell unemployed coal miners to "learn to code". As if we can just take any person of median intelligence and ambition, send them to bootcamp, and they'll be intrinsic in building the next Google search or Hadoop or some other other product that probably has greatly improved output per worker.

Even if software engineering was more respected in our society, and the "best and brightest" who currently go into more prestigious and lucrative fields like finance, medicine, law, policy, etc. were enticed into tech, I'm not so sure you'd see all those extra apps and lines of code translate into improved GDP. Instead, you'd just end up with an arms race between even more big companies to steal marketshare from each other.
Beetle kill seems to be a problem on to a few places.
"No-code startup bubble..."
Yeah, I think this is the basis for Hawking Radiation as well.
If you need to go through a boot camp to be able to use it, why not just learn to code?

I imagine we’ll get a lot of V1s, especially once Apple releases their AR gear, but we’re about 15 years out from the plateau which will likely resemble the smartphone market. My guess.
NVIDIA Omniverse?
Which is not really relevant or interesting.

A product is not necessarily a program (an executable).

A suite can be a product too, and you can absolutely sell a suite as a single SKU.

In fact that's exactly what MS does 90% of the time, and it even used to sell it in shrink-wrapped box form.

1. My use of "power" was about political power. The political can regulate the economic. If you have competent governance, you can regulate attempts to use raw purchasing power as a tool to shape politics.

2. It's not about the unfair value that heirs get. It's about whether that would significantly distort the function of meritocracy.
Yes, it's unfair that someone might get a 20k annual dividend, just like it's unfair that some people are born stunningly gorgeous or incredibly genius.
As long as wealth tends to dwindle, these marginal inequities would not disrupt a functioning meritocracy.

On the final bit, the question becomes whether the motivation to provide for one's kids is greater than the demotivation of inheritance. I think the former is greater. Especially in people who might have a shot in creating a fortune.

Which raises another point -- one focused on real data rather than theory. Do you think it'd be a good move for a country to significantly clamp down on inheritance on its own? What impact would that have on the country's ability to attract and retain top talent?
It's Not Climate Change It's Climate Changed
The media is not giving citizens the full extent of how bad and unexpected the recent global weather has been.

Partially, this is due to the fact that only a handful of dedicated climate scientists were talking about the consequences of severe jet stream disturbance. This is what is know technically as quasi-resonate amplification (QRA) of Rossby waves. Basically, as the warm air from C02 induced global warming moves north to the Artic the jet stream gets very chaotic and you get stalled heat domes, stalled polar vortexes, torrential rain and flash flooding, and other weather anomalies.

This climate chaos is not going to go away and will only get worse each year. There is nothing stopping it from being 120F next year in British Columbia as it was just a few weeks ago this summer.

To paint a terrifying picture, we have 90% of the US west in brutal drought and even parts of the US midwest are now in drought conditions. Lake Powell, one of the largest reservoirs in the US southwest is at its lowest point in history. Nearly all the young salmon in northern California's Klamath and Sacramento Rivers may perish due to heat stress low water, and disease this year.

There are major unprecedented wildfires all over North America, the coldest reaches of Siberia, in Italy, Turkey and Spain.

Devastating flooding in Colombia, Costa Rica, the US Southwest, huge areas of China, India, Mexico, Bangladesh, Turkey the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Belgium, Italy, Switzerland, Indonesia and the Philippines.

There is unusual frost in Brazil destroying thousands of acres of food and coffee. There have been videos of giant hail balls the size of tennis balls that have pummeled cars and houses in the UK, Switzerland and Texas.

We have passed the tipping point and the chickens have come home to roost...

1.5 or 2C of average global warming seems like just a quaint notion now, strange times are upon us. It could take a larger than WWII mobilization around the globe just to ensure the survival of humanity and that may not be enough. G8 governments should be spending at least 1/4 of total yearly GDP to find a solution because as we are clearly seeing the costs could be so, so much more.
Recognize the underlying needs. For example,

- People need to read news. It isn't optional for most people. Suppressing it will only make it worse. So read offline, get a physical news paper if necessary. Or read on designated computer at a designated time. Stick to it, and your phone as your connection to the civic world dissolves

- Are you meeting family/people? If you are not, please do. If you use chat/whatsapp, stop doing it. Call them frequently

- Do you day trade options? May be consider changing your investment strategy

- Do you play games? May be play them on console of your choice.

I hope you are seeing a pattern here. If you can see what you spend most of your time on phone(most modern phones do it), you recognize the underlying need, and be able to substitute it.

You can’t look at those numbers without comparing to other societies. Raising literacy over that time period….is not especially rare?

Nor was industrialization. You’re giving them credit for something basically every european country did in that timeframe. And many other countries besides.

Not strictly saying you’re wrong. I haven’t done the comparative argument so it’s possible they did have a comparative advantage on either front. But you’d need to compare to other countries to have a meaningful claim.
It sounds very ambitious and very vague. We know and I'm sure FB knows that this isn't going anywhere interesting, so what're the 700 openings for? If it weren't for the hires and the market being comically inflated I'd have written it off as PR to help the stock out.

Or is it just Zuckerberg getting jealous of Musk and wants to get on the bandwagon of hypey messianic bullshit? Might want to take some charisma classes first.
The market is comparable to Wix? Divi from wordpress?

Again, not sure how these companies last and compete where everyone else is learning how to code.

I can't foresee a mature product that is achievable without coding, at all. I always thought companies that uses those builders will, at some point, move out from MVP and hire some coders.

Well, I guess there're always market for everything.
Yeah, with the additional punchline that "the lucky ones were the half that got shredded as they didn't need to deal with the hiring manager."

It’s not programming, but I use Karabiner to remap my Mac’s caps lock to command-opt-shift, and fn to command-alt. If I had another meta key over there I’d map it to command-shift, and be able to hit all the shortcuts I’ve assigned to menu items in Illustrator with one hand.

My right hand stays on my Wacom stylus, whose two barrel buttons are set to double-click and right-click. Except when I’m in a browser, where command-click to open in new tab is much more useful than double-click.
Has anyone ever uses Salesforce marketing cloud? You can build emails drag and drop. And the code it creates is…ok. You can even use the UI to do fairly ok dynamic content.

You can build data tables with the UI. It’s…ok. You can do very simple joins and fairly complex filtering with the UI. The filters are actually good so long as you only need the one table. After that they’re…ok

And then there are Journeys. You can orchestrate complex communication streams with the UI. I’d go so far as to say it’s good. Until you need to do an action not built into the UI…then you need to code it :)

All of the same goes for most of the other “low” code or “no” code tools I’ve used like AirTable. They can do a lot. And what they can do they’re usually between ok and good at.

But so far I’ve not seen one that is excellent. Back to the marketing cloud example if you want to make a table in the UI with 10 columns sure. But what about 100? It would be a huge pain or you can write a script and do it in minutes.

I’m sure Bubble is fine. But so far none of these solutions have ever wowed me. But then again like some folks point out I’m not the target audience really.
A few years ago when I lived in Seattle, this guy was working on something similar. I'm not sure how it turned out, but he had a stand at the Ballard farmer's market that caught my attention. Maybe 2015 or so. http://theyshallwalk.org/about/
They emphatically are not.
I am reminded of a quote by Mark Twain: "Humor can be dissected, as a frog, but the thing dies in the process, and the innards are of interest only to the purely scientific mind."

The Lamport quote does the same thing, but to software. The thing died in the process.
Maybe not False dichotomy but agreed that it isn't a greatest comparison. Plus my Grand parents siblings were a bunch of yokels that would barely know what ballet looks like. I'm just tired of my kid's friends all doing everything.
