The human machine is not programmed in the traditional sense, it's learned to a large extent. Guilt is a signal that some behavior should be changed/relearned/reprogrammed.

The open question is why and how humans can "feel" guilt. How can a machine have a subjective experience at all? What is a subjective experience? This is the so-called "hard problem".
A question would be if it is logical to take efforts to contain the virus if all hope of containing the virus is lost. Does it help anyone? Or is it just something that is done out of a desire to ‘do something’?
There should be no such thing as books that are not allowed to be read. Under any circumstance. Certainly in schools. Students should expand their minds read weird books and discuss them openly.

Just like reading Mine Kampf is not banned in the Netherlands (or Germany).
Stores however are not allowed to sell it (Dutch Government has the rights to the Dutch translation so disallowing reprints is easy). But even then; I can download the PDF on the net without issues. And I can read it. I can even sell an old copy of the book (if I had one) without repercussions.
Seems like an approach like that contributes to the problem. Instead of rejecting the talks, it seems fitting to make sure the talk includes a five-minute quickstart about how jQuery works if the audience is not familiar with it, rather than rejecting it outright.

Yeah when my job scope is reduced I normally go on a twitter rant about The Establishment instead of, idk, asking for clarification and asserting the part of the job I still want to do.
Huh, I'm confused by this. If I understand correctly:

- GPL does not allow any restrictions on usage or distribution;

- App Store restricts installation to 5 devices.

So they're clearly incompatible. I was confused about why Apple would be the one to pull the app, as it's the GPL that's being broken, but I guess from Apple's perspective they just don't want the hassle of anyone claiming they're breaking the GPL.

But can't it all be resolved just by having the App Store version of the app contain a link to the open source?

Edit to add: is this a GPL vs LGPL thing, where the GPL build of an app would include some Apple code and they don't want to have that claimed by the GPL?

They are not removed from school shelves. This is not even a proposal for them to be removed from school shelves. The title is misleading. Please see my other comment above.

Some State Rep has inquired about these, so is true that it's plausible that some of the books in the list may be targeted in the future, but that hasn't happened yet.

I had dry eyes post surgery. First 6 months I was miserable. Had to put goop on my eyes at night the viscosity of Vaseline. Felt like years before I got to a normal state.

It’s been about 16 years. I wear glasses again, but I can get by without. Still occasionally have dry eyes.
About time. We simply MUST STOP the warming. It is true the earth had warmer periods in the past, also colder, but the serious consequences of eventual melting of the Greenland and Antarctic ice caps = 80 meters or 262 feet - when = heat the air and it will happen. True, it will take a while, but it might happen in sudden bursts over ~5 years, say if the Greenland cap broke apart in segments due to flotation effects, and large bridged segments of Antarctica? These are above sea level = certain rise of 5-10 feet in a few years. Don't laugh - many ice areas are keylocked to the land beneath them, but many areas are close to floatable and are being eroded but deep current as we waffle = large break-offs will occur.
Jump the seas by 5-10 feet = huge losses in all major (~~50 cities) that are now at sea level. Huge loss of property etc., built over hundreds of years that will need to be replaced inland - and you must move to a rebuild area possibly 300 feet higher, or you will have to repeat if the fools who want to keep burning oil do not stop it. /rant...

Schools are given two options:

+ Remove them from their shelves, and send a letter saying they do not have the books available. This is the cheaper/easier option, and several schools have already opted to do so.

+ Make a count of all the books, provide location information about the storage of the book, including its exact geographic location on their campus, and trawl their records to determine precisely how much they spent on each of the books in an itemised manner [0], and send a report detailing all of this.

[0] Schools receive books generally in either donations, or in groupings that are not itemised, making determining the cost of an individual copy of a book extremely difficult. That's before you get to poor financial record keeping that is also rife in school libraries.
> I haven't had a chance to check out Remix yet, but I've certainly been impressed with the creators' (Ryan Florence and Michael Jackson) work on React Router and their React Training series. They design very good, easy to learn, low surface area APIs. I suspect Remix will be more of the same.

Isn't React Router one of the projects that are famous for completely changing their API for every single version they've released (basically)? Sure, they got a lot of training to perfect designing APIs I guess, but at one point you get frustrated of the constant churn, and the authors neglect of stability.

Because Apple has proven that people will actually pay for reinventing something but better and more polished. And you call it a buggier product, but if you have a dedicated team working on a native app for platform X, that team can become the expert on platform X, work around and fix all its caveats, and beat the competition on everything forever.

I mean granted, for a lot of companies, having a substandard or suboptimal app simply does not matter to their bottom line, because the product trumps the implementation details in the end; people are willing to put up with e.g. a bloated web app because it gives them access to a good chat service (think slack, discord). People were willing to put up with Twitter's fail whale outages whenever Justin Bieber tweeted because they had something good (network effect?).

React is so slow, so hard to reason about with everything just "it will update at some point and everything is pinging around off each other reactively", and just generally terrible to use. I find it hilarious that it ever gained popularity. I am releasing a framework soon (well it is already on github with no documentation and not in release form) that uses web components and it has similar amounts of characters to type to perform tasks as React, yet thousands of times better performance. The library is so small, initial page load is probably the same as server-side rendering when you take into account users computer vs server.

JavaScript is not really a factor in anything, it is just how it is used by people that is the factor.
Your explanation makes sense - thanks!
Yep, plus people change... what was once a nice middle class neighbourhood in detroit, is now three crackhouses and hundreds of destroyed houses... people still livng there don't have money for expensive stores, and malls close down.

Add to that a new mall, better, bigger and cheaper a similar distance away and the old one starts to decline

I saw a similar technique posted here a few weeks ago [0]. This guy is even worse, as his blog sounds like the typical "five simple steps to loose 200lbs, only $99 a month!" (and he does actually charge $99 a month for coaching). I have a really high bullshit radar, so at first I was just "nope this is nonsense", but I saw past that (as it was mentioned here) and started reading more, and I'm starting to believe there is some truth to it.

The basic premise is that opticians often over prescribe glasses. I've had this personally, an optician prescribed me glasses that were 0.75 dipole too strong for computer use, as the way they test (unless you ask otherwise) is for long distance vision (i.e. driving), not for 50cm in front of your eyes.

The theory is that your eye muscles become lazy as they don't need to work so hard, and you get used to that, so you need glasses to see clearly. If you look at distance text that is ever so slightly out of focus, eventually your vision system will figure out how to correct for that blur, and you will be able to see in focus. If you rinse and repeat, changing ever few months to a slightly weaker prescription (e.g. a reduction of 0.25) you can greatly reduce the strength of glasses you need.

I've only just started, but there are other comments on HN about people who have done this.

When a revolution happens the result is nothing more than change of the elites. Things need to get done, the management style can only affect the efficiency and sustainability.

What a contrived crutch being pushed as some kind of futuristic advancement … as is clearly identified by the pulsing techno melody.

This is such a great example of navel gazing, self-congratulatory pontification that is detached from reality.

Just look in the mirrors and over your shoulder before opening the door like you are supposed to. If people aren’t doing that already, how is them also not following this additional practice going to improve anything? Short answer, it won’t.

Just check your surroundings. No self-important technocratic complication needed.

> The more code I've written, the less I care about code quality.

I sort of agree with this, but not quite. I care about code quality, but not code aesthetics. Aesthetics was really important to me when I was younger and more inexperienced. I wanted my code to be pretty, and wouldn't be happy until I found an algorithm or abstraction that met my definitions of pretty code. I would polish it until it was shiny. I would even align my variable names to be pleasing to the eye.

20 years later, I know there are things that will just never quite look neat. FizzBuzz is a pretty accessible example of this phenomenon, but most non-trivial algorithms have that to some extent.

> Besides that, I'm a huge fan of disposable code. In my experience 99% of the time, the best approach is to just dive into the problem and try to solve the problem in the most pragmatic way. Maybe that's hard-coding a lot of things. Maybe that's having a small amount of repetition here and there. Maybe it's writing one long function with 1000 lines.

> After that it's all about continuous improvement. You spend your time solving the problem, and when your code becomes hard to work on, you spend time improving your code to make it easier to work on by cleaning things up, and adding sensible abstractions which solve the problems you actually have.

I too am firmly in the camp of write code first, refactor into a maintainable solution when it works. Maybe it's tacit experience refactoring messy code, sort of knowing in the back of your head how it will shape up when refactored.

It's too educational about the true state of the American system and encourages people to do something bad for the US oligarchs, which in the USA is the ultimate evil.
yes, it's the whole macos compatibility / availability layer which is terrible. In contrast a good system like Qt looks like

Do you have a source for that? The percentage of Covid patients in ICU wards in the UK peaked at somewhere near 30% for a short period in January 2021.

>the folks on HN must not have many friends working in medicine for if they had they'd realize those friends are swamped and burned-out.

Now I do know this to be true, but it's not due to the absolute numbers of Covid patients. In my experience (as I know several people in frontline healthcare), its the side-effects of Covid restrictions making healthcare impossible to provide.

The guidance on this in the Netherlands is actually being relaxed somewhat: https://www.nu.nl/binnenland/6180537/autodeur-met-verste-han... (in Dutch).

The Dutch government actually issues a message earlier this week (probably in response to what the UK is doing) with the updated guidance.

Apparently, it's not that safe in some recent cars due to the position of the door handle. So it no longer is something that is checked during driving exams anymore. Nor is it required to be teaching it during driving lessons. And the guidance is to simply pay attention.
The original IBM PC (8086) had the letters IBM coded into a specific part of the ROM. When PC clones started being made, IBM (and probably other software companies) would look for those letters to verify the software was running on a genuine IBM PC.

Rather than just copy those characters into their ROMs, the clone companies would add "NOT IBM" to get around any copyright claim - with the letters "IBM" in the same memory location as the originals of course. I discovered this when hacking on an Elonex PC - if anyone remembers those.
If he meant one "concept" he probably would have said that.

This works off of carbohydrates and lignin, including cellulose. Assuming (CH2O)n + nH2 --> (CH2)n + nH2O, then 46% of the weight of dry biomass turns to fuel. The yield of Miscanthus is about 16 dry tonnes/acre/year. Jet fuel is 3 kg/gallon, so this would be about 2400 gallons/acre/year.

I have to disagree. Society works in layers and mutual trust, and its not the sales person job to know the ins and outs of the device. Their job is to communicate what the machine does and how to do it.

Also, you could brick the device in a couple seconds with a hammer too. Should the sales guy have take down training too?

If thats an unrealistic argument, you failed to realize you were the only one in the room who couldnt see the hammer in your hands.
Then maybe the sales guy should have read the manual of the device and it's active components, just like the OP did?

Sales guys that desire to close deals should know their stuff.
If TFL is anything like a few months ago there isn't a 'law' requiring mask usage, it's just a condition of carriage[1]. Also, they're enforcing it with enforcement officers. There may not be many and they may do a poor job of actually challenging people but I've seen it at stations a few times.

> PS2. Oh and on 'code reviews': It would be cool if code-reviews were done "anonymously"

Outside of work in the free and open source community, I find myself often wishing that I could just get a random person who has no context of the codebase to review a piece of code I've written.

Context is obviously important, but the lack of context can also highlight issues that you would be blind to if you have the context.

I would want this to exist within an ide where you could highlight code, submit for review and wait. And if you want to review you can explore pieces of code to review filtered by language within the ide.

Science is ever changing. After trying this out my self, I can say with confidence that current state of myopic management with glasses will be deemed as quackery on par with drinking crude oil to cure diseases in past centuries.

Near work imposed in schools and wearing glasses constantly is the reason for current myopia epidemic as can be evidenced by low myopia rates in schools following western curriculum that is more holistic in nature.
