Yes, it was turnips (known as swedes in England and rutabaga in the US) when I was young too.

We also did guising, i.e. the dressing up and going around houses, which turned into trick or treating when it was exported to the US. The US-style trick or treating was starting to be re-imported when I was young, but (certainly where I was) it wasn't looked upon very favourably because it was usually practised by the rougher sorts who used it as an excuse to throw eggs at peoples homes (the traditional guising hadn't had the "trick" element).

Part of that lack of 'single person housing' is a zoning issue. It sets minimum sizes and makes building multi-family units literally illegal. Thus with things needing to be a minimum size and multi-family units illegal, developers only go for what is economically viable in an area, which is the SFH.

The most capital efficient kind of construction is actually the large wooden house designed as a fourplex. You also get more total rent & $$$ sold from multi-units than you do from a single family house, because multi-units are more land efficient. If developers were not limited, you would see a lot more of them.

Review: Celebrating a Third of a Century of Mathematica
I've spent most of my professional life in computers, mathematics, and computer algebra.
(Disclaimer, I'm the lead maintainer on Axiom, developed by a team at IBM Research, that I maintain as
an open source computer algebra system so
I'm not a disinterested party. That said, I'm certainly qualified in the subject area.)

I've listened to Wolfram's "Celebrating a Third of a Century of Mathematica".

It starts out with a walk through history, backwards, not forward. It's not a well-connected story.
It involves a lot of unconnected references. It seems to ignore a lot of prior work, including
work in computational physics, like Reduce.

He seems to claim that Mathematica is the essential language of human thinking.

Then he seems to turn to a "word salad" of words like "multi-computation". Despite replaying
this section I have no idea what he's talking about.

Finally he seems to claim Mathematica as the central pillar of the future.

"... the core Wolfram Language that is intended to last forever."

"We are building things which
inexorably will be the way that people think about things."...

"This idea of computational language...
there isn't really a question about whether that's going to be the way
that everybody ends up thinking about things in terms
in terms of the computational paradigm"

"The question of 'What will we see as we build the tower'... the things that
are inexorable, there are things where we are just working through. We are
getting this bigger and bigger area that are covering these bigger and
bigger areas of knowledge. We have bitten into pretty much every conceivable
area that we are now just 'chewing further', so to speak, to get all the pieces"

There seems to be a theme of "the tower", rooted in the Wolfram Language
that is a base for building intellectual development within this century.
A tower of Babel if you will.

"There are more things in heaven and earth, Stephen, than are dreamt of in your philosophy"
You should check out Redux if React seems alien in its own language. This entire stack pretends to be something non-imperative javascript, but at the end of the day just offloads all the burden of writing few layers of abstractions by hand on developers.
Interesting post, makes u wonder why the hell doesn't react do it by default. I'm really surprised to see that i have to think about performance in react apps so much, coming from elm i expected it to be all faster by default

What do you mean suddenly? It has always been bad. It took time for me to realize it and start posting about it. I'm sure others will eventually realize it too. Especially since companies keep ramping up the abuse.

That's what this industry is all about really. Doing things we don't want. Making us see and hear things we never asked for. Sucking up information we never wanted them to have. It's basically abuse incorporated but society forgives them because they pay for all the media we consume.

Let the media companies go bankrupt. We don't need it to survive. It's entertainment.
There's a lot of truth in this. Getting the uninitiated to the point of solving problems is not a bad thing, per se, but too much of that creates cargo cult programmers, and that is a very bad thing. And very common.

If your goal to solve a problem, then you should use something that helps you solve that problem quickly. If your goal to learn how to solve problems, then you probably shouldn't. Those are both valid use cases, but they are very different.
There are many reasons people might choose not to use APL as a programming language. There are fewer reasons why they are not choosing to use it as the "tool of thought" it is supposed to be.
I generally try to avoid responding to rants because every time I do that, the author gets angry and starts complaining at me. In my experience, people who rant are just frustrated and blowing off steam, and are not trying to be taken seriously or start a constructive dialogue. If a person actually has some leadership/direction and a solid grasp on the full picture then there is no need to rant.

"Things like ugly or fragmented interfaces are sometimes OK for analytic/engineering people, but they can ruin an artist's experience."

Well, with Linux, any number of interfaces and themes are available. There is even a 'windows' theme to reduce the migration curve. If you supply respectable hardware and GPUs, there should be zero issues with slowness or instantaneous feedback.

Make sure the hardware platform works well with the distribution and its drivers. Ensure that your artists don't deal with these issues, and that your IT team pre-tests all builds and upgrades.

I have no basis in reality for this suggestion, but I'd go with a lightweight window manager like LXDE rather than heavy weight gnome or kde. Less eye candy and straight functionality. And less drain on resources.

Someone was talking about problems building on hardware. This isn't really an issue if you builds are automated: allows machines to be rebuilt on major upgrades. This, of course, requires that data drives and directories either be on separate partitions or on the network.

This is called malicious compliance, and you're falling right for it. The entire goal of these "settings" is to trick/tire users into accepting fake consent that has not been freely given. They are a priori illegal under most privacy laws as well as common law principles. But enforcement takes time and resources. Meanwhile companies can play dumb, straight up lie about the necessity of such dialogs, and get users to mistakenly assign blame to those pesky laws rather than the malicious companies themselves.
Technocrats love to imagine that their laws are infallible unfortunately laws must always be challenged regularly or else you will end up with too much regulation over time as political momentum encourages new laws to constantly be added while old laws are rarely reexamined. That's why you've got places where anal is still illegal.
“My answer is simple: voting would become much more efficient, allowing us to do it much more often.”

This here is (I think) the key to fixing democracy. If the citizens can vote on not just the leaders, but every long-term decision faced by the country, then we’d see people become far more invested, and much less likely to divide on party lines that are essentially grey areas anyway.

I second charesjrdan's point. If money isn't a huge factor for you and it's a course you're excited enough to pursue then go for it.

The course isn't necessary however. Reading through MDN docs in addition to Josh W Comeau's blog should get you 90% of the way there, if not all the way there.

you're looking at the situation too narrowly. publishers & content creators also want esteem and influence, which they can bank to get paid later (perhaps through a related but separate effort, like product 'reviews').
Anybody who finds this interesting and is interested in an entire community dedicated to this perspective may also take a look at reddit.com/r/stopdrinking.

Its non-opinionated, decentralized but moderated (pun unintended) discussion was a huge help when I quit drinking five years ago.

I'll just add that my path lined up with others who have commented here. Once it dawned on me that it was a crutch, and not just for fun, it felt like time to put it aside and do some work on myself.

However a series of steps or exploring a higher power wasn't what I felt worked for me. /r/StopDrinking turned out to be that sweet spot.
Are you in a dorm? I am still friends with some dorm mates from (jeez) 35 years ago. It’s not automatic; my kid was in a dorm and really didn’t make any close friends; he joined a non-residential fraternity though and made a bunch of friends that way.

If you’re club about a thing you like, then you will do things you like with people who share your interest. some are presumably the kinds of people you’d like to be friends with; even if you don’t make close friends, you’ll at least be doing something you like.

Also college age friendships aren’t necessarily deep ones so don’t worry if you are making a bunch of friendly acquaintances for a while. One or two will turn into deeper friendships, over time.
Agreed. It is tiresome.

In my opinion one of the dumbest things that we're all doing is trusting companies that do not make their earnings from open source with open source.

Microsoft only goes so far with supposedly loving open source.

Kf they love open source so much, why don't they open source something really interesting instead of a toy editor like vscode?

I'm thinking of something like sqlserver or their compiler tollchain or their userspace runtime library.

The Raspberry Pi is based on an SOC from Broadcom that was derived from SOCs designed for Set top box and Over The Top box products (i.e. Roku, AppleTV, etc.).

The Beaglebone is based on an SOC from TI that was designed for (at the time High End) Smartphones. Therefore it supports much lower power consumption and idle modes.
I can confirm it is terrible on both. What a great article though.
I don't think that's necessarily true. Ethereum 2 is using libp2p to facilitate p2p communication between nodes. IPFS also uses libp2p. That means that every Ethereum node could easily become an IPFS node so people may end up running an IPFS node without even realizing it.

I live there too, and traffic here is pretty busy. Personally I don't really understand why so many people drive. Because public transport here is extremely efficient and cheap. I don't even own a car here and I'm really happy to no longer need one.

But if I had kids I wouldn't really let them participate. Even with the police escort, they might lose the group and be on their own in this busy city.

I'm from near Amsterdam myself and there cyclists are the kinds of the road. Here it's very different.

The mayor is very green and she's trying to pedestrianise a lot, but it's limited to a few lane closures and a handful of "superilla" test blocks. I think there is a lot of resistance to it. I really support her efforts but sadly she doesn't seem to be that popular. She also tried to clean up an area near the seafront with seedy nightclubs and casinos but got a lot of flak for that. I often see graffiti blaming her for stuff :(

It has been addressed many times and there doesn't seem to be an obvious way of further addressing it beside doing exactly what the receipts-for-downvotes people want. Neither the mods nor most HN users want that, though and the arguments against it remain compelling.

Indeed, moreso pride and lack of wisdom. Perhaps a bit of martyrdom. Shkreli liked playing around with these people who literally wanted to slay him. I don't think he understood how seriously evil and petty boomers can be, and how most judges are from that generation. He took one for the team in a sense, showing how the justice system serves as the instrument of vengeance for the executive and legislative branches. He's by no means dumb [1,2] but yes, honest to the point of being blunt. Very much in the spirit of Mike Tyson who is also extremely intelligent but often portrayed as a dolt. [3,4,5]

"And as one Google employee explained internally, Google deliberately designed Jedi to avoid competition, and Jedi consequently harmed publishers. In Google’s words, the Jedi program 'generates suboptimal yields for publishers and serious risks of negative media coverage if exposed externally.'

The theme of the comment thread is that companies in the past (example: Microsoft) got in serious trouble for talking about crushing the competition. While companies want to do better than the competition because it means more sales and more revenue, they are meant to do it by providing better products or services rather than by causing competitor companies to go out of business granting the survivor a monopoly, even if either motivation leads to the same outcome.
No. The true test of one’s character is what they do when times are tough. Even if times are tough you’d think a retailer would be doubling down on winning people over any way they could not being a curmudgeon.
DDoS is said to be very cheap. What if we used that to boot the culprits? It's obviously illegal, so just as a thought experiment: if those amplifiers (dns resolvers or whatever is popular at the moment) started experiencing issues due to their servers being a nuisance to others...?

It still seems much easier to just blackhole IPs that are causing problems, like collectively (at the edge of your AS) block IPs that long-term host a service that is actively involved in facilitating DDoS attacks, but for some reason nobody is doing that. This could be a more direct way: see where DDoS traffic is coming from and... poof

> Who is anyone to speak for the entire world? But we still get to speak.

So why then speak for the "entire world"? It would be much better phrased if some one wrote: "*in my opinion* the entire world is ... ", even this small addition of "in my opinion" makes for a much more serious discourse, I believe.

From my personal experience, when I check a random sample of some of the accusations against facebook, then they all seem to be a misrepresentation of facebook...

Very sad... I guess this kind of censorship / denialism is becoming an accepted practice in certain circles. I would have thought the moderators here are bigger than that.
Many people here are discussing gun safety, which is orthogonal to the actual causes of the shooting.

There are hundreds of specialized pieces of equipment on a film set and a gun is just one of them. It's not anyone's job but the person responsible for that category of equipment to ensure safety. Here, that would be the armorer, who appears to be have gotten her job through family connections and is clearly a mortal danger to herself and others.

But the buck doesn't stop there. This wasn't even the first misfire on this particular set. A few days prior, when two rounds were negligently discharged, anyone responsible for weapons should have been immediately fired. This didn't happen, showing that the gun safety issues were not only the armorer's fault, but also a symptom of irresponsible and dangerous management at the higher levels of the production.

As a matter of fact, according to the article, the movie's managing team routinely cut corners on the filming environment, forcing crews to commute 100 miles round trip for 12 hour work days, delaying paychecks, and bringing in scabs to keep shooting (both cameras and guns, apparently) when a half dozen crewmembers walked off set to protest working conditions.

Underlying all of this, and at least partly to blame, is the hard truth that every dollar spent to make the set safer for the crew is a dollar that won't be going into the pockets of the people backing the film. Notably, one of the financiers for this movie is BondIt Media Capital, which specializes in lending to troubled or otherwise high-risk productions, and surely expects to be repaid commensurate with that risk.

So in the end, would gun safety have prevented this tragedy? Yes. But the gun was just the weakest link in a chain that was "Rust"ed through from the start.
I've heard this a lot on HN, any data to back it up?
