I think it needs a change of perspective. It's very hard to get a child interested in things like programming by introducing him to it. I picked up programming by watching my brother do programming and I asked him to teach me some basics. I think this is a better approach. Instead of introducing a kid to Python, work on a simple game in Python and let him watch. He will see that you find it cool (despite it being "boring" compared to alternatives like Roblox), and he will see what it looks like, and if all goes well, he will ask you to teach him to do the same.
Epicyon Release Version 1.3.0
I would say that it's a reimplementation of a given computer (or, sometimes, the first or only implementation) using an FPGA as the materials instead of discrete components and PCBs. An RPi or other software emulations will use the host's IO to present the same behavior of the original hardware when, in FPGA, there is no host apart from minimal support electronics and interfaces around the FPGA.
To me it's obvious: since consciousness arises from external and internal stimuli of the body, part of the physical world that it could perceive and affect is limited by the physical capabilities of the body. If there was a technology to hook up a computer to your brain and you could then have it feed you data from a sensor located somewhere far away, you would effectively extend the physical capabilities of your body, thus extending the spatial presence of your consciousness.
Users have a certain hunger for more products.
Sure, so do I, but when I tell my manager I'm worth X amount, he'll say that's just not where local salaries are at for my job category and responsibility.

Implying that other developers in my area are available for less than I ask.

I mean, if a person is able to extract 700€ per day, kudos to them but that's still above the 90th percentile of senior developers in Europe.
Thank you very much for the answer. (both you and all the other people)

> A geostationary satellite with a similar resolution is simply not possible to build and launch in this age.

I think I will have to read up on that specifically more. I was aware how far GEO is, but I don't understand what makes the optics impossible. (Clearly it is as you say, all the sources agree with you.) Thank you!
You mean _totally_ useless.

1. Oracle can only sell you a divergent version

2. relicensing would kill the project

To expand on (2) - CDDL was specifically designed to make it easier to include in other projects while also keeping certain protections for all involved. The issue is that GPLv2 has somewhat complex case of whether it applies ("derivative work") and also tries to push you to distribute code under GPLv2 terms and doesn't play ball if some part of it has requirements that exceed GPLv2 ones.

The specific incompatibility is, iirc, due to patent litigation protections in CDDL, which do not exist in GPLv2, meaning you can't just redistribute CDDL code under GPLv2 umbrella
Not much to add except wanted to say that I enjoyed becoming aware of the impact Wikipedia's design decision had on me, as a reader.

Seeing the encarta/marginalia version vs the wikipedia one really drives home the point. It's interesting how the design had a strong impact on my experience, and yet I never really noticed it before.

I feel a bit like a fish suddenly aware of the water they're in.
Your exchange should support the alternate chains. They get economies of scale with the gas fees when bridging between chains. Of course, relying on an exchange for this contradicts the decentralization ideal.
Scratch works pretty well on the iPad for programming, and there's Scratch Jnr for younger learners.

Repl.it also works well on the iPad, as long as you sign in for them, so they can play with any language they like.

If you want an actual computer that they can play around with that's cheap then a Raspberry Pi is a good choice. The Pi 400 with it's integrated keyboard is excellent.

If you want some programming projects then have a look at https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en

They're not just projects for using the Raspberry Pi. There's a tonne of Scratch, Python and HTML stuff for them to work through as well.

I'd suggest https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/pathways/scratch-intro if they've never used Scratch before. All the projects are tablet friendly as well.
The problem is that to the extent that messaging about immunology was provided by public health authorities to the general public or used to develop policy, it was almost always about antibodies as a correlate of protection, lack of antibodies as evidence that SARS-CoV-2 was novel and not yet endemic (providing justifications for lockdowns/the CARES Act/EUAs and mass vaccinations including children), or about falling antibody titers as a justification for booster shots. There was hardly even any mention of very basic things like Vitamin C, D and Zinc, let alone T cell immunity. T cell studies exist in the literature, of course, but our understanding of T cells and Natural Killer cells seems to have been allowed to contribute very little little to the public health response in many countries in contrast to patented vaccine candidates and antivirals.

A necessity in order to stay competitive against Lidl (comparable customer segment). ALDI took quite a punch by Lidl in the Netherlands (these were all of the ALDI Nord concern, but were not labelled as such), and depended on inertia (being the first and most well-established discount grocer) for too long.
The reason this kind of bullshit continues to happen is because nobody calls it out. Calling it out and shaming it publicly is the only way to eventually resolve this problem.

Someone in a position of relative power (being able to quit and publicly call out their employer) calling it out also makes the situation better for those that may not be able to afford that risk.
It's the same thing the marvelverse is... a way of referring to all of facebook's products. They're just trying to generate some hype and make their products look more forward thinking.. even though they're exactly the same as always.
Nano is nearly ubiquitous making it great for these small edits, and it was easy to pick up as it has the common key combos listed at the bottom of the screen. When I was learning Linux this made things smoother than they could have been with other CLI editors. Vi took me a while to get used to and I had to look up commands, but I still install nano when I need it.

I get lost when working on centos.

Not downplaying covid, but diarrhea kills 10M+ people globally. I also find turning a blind eye to other important topics and media laser-focus on covid a bit upsetting. But also understanding how media is profiting from it. Further on that, big pharma lobby is huge on boosters for young people. There is very little benefits for boosters for under 40's. You are talking a 0.1% decrease of hospitalization (from 0.2%). Countries like Spain didn't even roll them out until very recently for this reason (although last October they said they will not roll it out at all for under 30s).
> Modern software processes make this impossible. It would be deeply frowned upon, likely a sacking offence, to create software outside the tightly controlled process.

True, but I don't see why this is such a big complaint. With the Internet revolution, the answer to all questions regarding computers was to re-create all the existing infrastructure on the Internet. That's how we have online shopping, online video streaming, etc.

Imagine walking into Netflix and saying "you can't replace Blockbuster because you'll have to re-create all their existing infrastructure"

I’m arguing for the tax because it provides a strong incentive for app developers to stick to Apples payment systems, that’s good for me as an end user.

I’m also arguing for the tax because I believe that Apple has the absolute right to collect such a tax, why wouldn’t they? They’re far from being a monopolist.

Stockholm syndrome? Mobile app development sounds like the last thing I’d want to have anything to do with.
>There is an enormous deference between Search Ads (such as those in Google search results) and display advertising such as Facebook and Googles Display Network.

I assure you HN does not understand anything about Ads. Ever since I realise HN had some deep misunderstanding with Online ads, I have been stating this difference for over 3 years. The only thing I got on HN was all ads are evil. Targeting Ads, Tracking Ads, Search Ads, or the latest buzzword surveillance capitalism.
This is what the program policy for the extensions say:
"An extension must have a single purpose that is narrow and easy-to-understand. Do not create an extension that requires users to accept bundles of unrelated functionality. If two pieces of functionality are clearly separate, they should be put into two different extensions, and users should have the ability to install and uninstall them separately."
Agreed, from my personal experience, I think the criticisms of Amazon are valid. But at the same time, if you have switched jobs 3 times in 18 months, you need to do some research and take some time to understand that you have a responsibility to find a job that is a good fit for you. If you think lines of code is the most important metric in how good someone is as a developer, then great, look for a job where management feels the same way.
And thats the answer from Google:
"Hello Developer,

Thank you for reaching out to us. We apologize for the inconvenience caused in this matter. Upon a subsequent review, we found that your item with ID : “abbpaepbpakcpipajigmlpnhlnbennna” to be compliant with our “Single Use” policy. Unfortunately, we cannot approve a submission that has been rejected. Hence, we request you to re-submit your extension on the developer dashboard.

Don’t let it get to that state? If you can’t, find a new team?
That was probably supposed to be a pun - you're both on the same side here :)
I guess self-service is good most of the times, but how is it going to handle temporary increase in resource usage? Think of a big infra refactoring project where a team may create lots of temporary instances and terminate them after a couple of months.

What's your view on Saving Plans vs Reserved Instances? Saving Plans seem to be much more flexible overall. Why only RIs then?

> A highly transmissible and damaging variant of HIV has been circulating in the Netherlands for decades

Note the for decades. With all the worry about Covid variants, these headlines are more attention grabbing, but I'm not sure if this would make the rounds if Covid wasn't a thing.
Indeed. Yet, this graph shows the distribution of averages. See the x-axis. I didn't want to be so blunt, but due to its shoddy presentation, I cannot trust what this page is showing.
Restricted as it may be, we experience reality. Experiencing reality completely is impossible anyway.

And in the context of hallucination, what we can't experience doesn't matter.
Qualia may be operating on a different system of reasoning. I have always wondered why new qualia felt so familiar like there was nothing new to learn, but if time is as illusory as every theory says it is then it makes more sense.

To answer the hard part.... To be completely honest, I think qualia are dualistic emanations of the One Source of Truth and understanding, and describable as convex optimizations in the kinds of spaces that Incompleteness deals with. I think love and honor are hyperparameters for the hypercomputers that we refer to as our hearts and that simulation is much more likely than material because of dichotomy / reality gap.
Yeah, if you use msys2 then you need mingw and such installed. But that's only an issue if you want to compile from a Windows host. You can compile from a POSIX host and target Windows just fine.

There are also pure Go implementations of sqlite3, should you wish to compile from a Windows host and do away with the msys2 dependency.

I'm curious what your clients are if they need to compile the code themselves (which suggests they're using your code as a package?) but which they don't need to use Go (which suggests you could just share them a compiled executable and thus they don't need to resolve this problem themselves). In either case, Go native code would fix that (albeit you don't get that for free -- you'd see a drop in query performance).

The GOPATH issue I never saw as flaky personally. It's one environmental variable, it was dead easy to set up and once it was set it worked fine. But my personal opinions aside, it was unpopular so yes, it no longer needs to be set. Ironically though, I personally think that's made things more complicated than less (or rather it's shifted the complexity elsewhere in the toolchain).

Rust crates are good but you'll find compiling against POSIX C code on Windows to be problematic regardless of the language. Rust just hides that problem because its developers are dogmatic enough that any C code is rewritten in Rust anyway. And Rust is performant enough that such rewrites are usually comparable, often even favorable, in speed to their C counterpart. That rarely seems the case with Go.

So it sounds like there isn't much point trying to solve your issue because you've already rewritten it in another language. However I assure you it is solvable in a number of different ways depending on what your underlying requirements were.
If this isn't a lie and Apple flipping that switch cost Facebook $10bn, then that tells me my personal information is worth a lot. What I was getting from Facebook in exchange for my data was too little. I use Google a lot more than Facebook and frankly what I get from them in exchange for my data is probably also way too little.

I wish there was some type of consumer union where we could negotiate with these companies as a block.

"The world needs ditch diggers, too."

- Judge Smails

Seriously. The world needs mechanics, electricians, etc. We need people who perform these valuable jobs. They don't need degrees.

The problem is that too many people take the loans and go to college, when they really aren't going to find a degree-requiring job after. This is the problem-- unmet expectations after graduation. These poor folks have borrowed and spent, then won't get the jobs to pay off the loans.

It's not your fault, and not mine. Taxpayers shouldn't bail them out. There needs to be more warning about the risks/reward.
The poor version of that is using anonymous accounts. They are not perfect as there are some crazy people that will still try to ID you, but it is the best mitigation. I believe a lot of employees in social media companies are neglectful in handling user data, so it is best to not share your real ID with them as well.

That also extends to not use phone numbers for 2FA, there are already companies that abused this information for other purposes. The only exception is if you want to conduct business.
> Eerily, it correctly identified my partner and suggests I friend her (and her mother!) every time I login.

That doesn’t seem that eerie to me. Your partner is most likely logging in from the same IP, and perhaps your mother-in-law has done the same at least once, or is friended to your partner. Making this association is pretty straightforward

http://web.mnstate.edu/alm/humor/ThePlan.htm

In the beginning, there was a plan,
And then came the assumptions,
And the assumptions were without form,
And the plan without substance,

And the darkness was upon the face of the workers,
And they spoke among themselves saying,
"It is a crock of shit and it stinks."

And the workers went unto their Supervisors and said,
"It is a pile of dung, and we cannot live with the smell."

And the Supervisors went unto their Managers saying,
"It is a container of excrement, and it is very strong,
Such that none may abide by it."

And the Managers went unto their Directors saying,
"It is a vessel of fertilizer, and none may abide by its strength."

And the Directors spoke among themselves saying to one another,
"It contains that which aids plants growth, and it is very strong."

And the Directors went to the Vice Presidents saying unto them,
"It promotes growth, and it is very powerful."

And the Vice Presidents went to the President, saying unto him,
"This new plan will actively promote the growth and vigor
Of the company With very powerful effects."

And the President looked upon the Plan
And saw that it was good,
And the Plan became Policy.

And this, my friend, is how shit happens.
Yes there is. (The list is only kind-of in alphabetical order).
Can consciousness be a part of "what one might term the scientific world view" at all? Is there an instrument (or a human expert) capable to measure consciousness and reliably tell a really good neural network vs a conscious human apart? What about a conscious vs an unconscious human?

"what one might term the scientific world view" is great and very practical but not perfect. There certainly are legitimate questions it probably has no way to address.

I feel pretty skeptical about exploring the nature of consciousness without employing techniques available in Buddhism, psychonetics[1] or something like that. These are fundamentally unscientific (although not imaginary - execution of the practices can be easily detected with EEG) but can at least let us observe the object of the study with at least some basic degree of objectivity, reason about it and do something useful with it.

[1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28838445
Why is consciousness always assumed to be a constant? Why not rather call it introspection?

If you zone out, are you still conscious? Or if you are watching a movie and not thinking about yourself, are you still conscious?
I Disagree. This "you only need one eye and one ear - two is redundant" approach to memorization is a root with the dire situation of today, in which I know youngsters with some diploma who can go "I thought that 5x8 was [any number]. Really it is 40?!".

While studying, in general, mnemonic hooks pose a foundation for further notions to become solid. Then, the whole of them become available micro-tools for reasoning.
Maybe off topic but super ironic that I had managed to read the first sentence

I'm a mathematician. When I was in grade school they told us to memorize up to twelve. But I figured I could skip the evens, because doubling is easy, so I would just memorize the odds. One is trivial, three and five are simple, as is eleven. There is an easy algorithm for mine. So I memorized seven and called it done.

When I think of the thousands of multiplications I've done since then, it's clear I was a dope and my teachers were perfectly right.
How does good privacy engineering at the platform level have any effect on lock-in?

It is abundantly clear that Apple loves locking people in, and also clear that they love taunting their advantages over their competitors. But I just don’t see how the better engineered platform protections for privacy have anything to do with the lock-in (no network effects, no switching costs)

My favorite example of this is the Find My network: did they totally screw Tile in their own competitive interests? Absolutely. Does their end-to end-encrypted Find My network have state of the art cryptographic design to minimize data collection? Absolutely.

Privacy also has concrete value for Apple. Apple made a fair argument that the Health app is HIPAA compliant because while the backend is nothing special, the syncing is end to end encrypted.

They do make mistakes, and they are a large self-interested corrupt terrible bad corporation, but I am happy that they are pushing the industry forward.
Yes, this.

Live below your means, invest the difference. Grind for 3 or 4 decades, you end up with a pile of money.

Not by choice. The JVM is an engineering marvel, but the developer experience for most use cases doesn’t justify its use, e.g. dependency management, JVM tuning, boilerplate (if javas bugs you), etc.
I’ve found other cross-compilable languages, like Go and Rust, fit my need when I need to distribute the app and various interpreted or compiled languages work when we operate the software during its maintenance and feature development phases.
I tend to find that "wrong type" accounts for a vanishingly small % of production bugs in average python programs.

The only exceptions I experienced this on were on A) projects that had zero tests and B) projects that insisted on passing around dicts and primitives rather than classes.

If the project developed a mimimal level of testing that one might tentatively argue that you'd want anyway to validate behavior and made half an attempt to use OO this class of bug seemed to dry up pretty quickly.

I've also seen Java developers switch to python and write entirely untested code and then get frustrated that they got type errors at runtime that the Java compiler used to catch for them. I wouldnt exactly say I felt sympathetic to their plight.
it's hard for me to tell from the toke of your writing, but is this suppose to be a bad thing? data collection and targeted ads aren't great even in the context of politics, but that seems more like a societal wide issue. everything else sounds just like democracy
