On the other hand, if you don't sleep as much as your body requires, it's a road to hell.

Not necessarily, that's just prejudice. Literally.

The sad reality is that poor people and their neighborhoods are more closely scrutinized, small conduct violations are pursued with unjustifiable zeal and harmless behaviors are outright criminalized to facilitate targeting.

It's the definition of "systematic racism", and you - it pains me to say - are the target audience of those that institutionalize it.

As someone who grew up playing piano, I'm sad that it's incompatible with urban living. I know some cultures are more likely to tolerate it than others, but overall I see it as on the way out.

? The FBI have information about the people they are nabbing and already have a risk profile.

If the people the are grabbing have zero history of violence, no gun ownership, no gang association, there's no reason to smash down the door.

Even judging by neighbourhood:

It's probably unfair but my bet is diplomats don't generally get into shootouts with the cops.

They could probably safely do the same in middle class neighbourhoods as well.

It's not a nice statement about equity, rather my belief that the 'risk' to police is probably entirely from specific kinds of problem areas which are probably poor.

If you look at a map of violent crime in cities, the delineations are pretty clear.

Some neighbourhoods have almost zero violent crime, two blocks down, it's Caracas.

'Zip Code' profiling might actually be just, but I don't see why they could not do it on a case to case basis.

Most likely, activity on your IPs or IP blocks you can't see. Spam filters use a kind of 'neighbourhood reputation' as well as info about specific domains.

Unfortunately, the case where you have one good but very low volume sender surrounded on all sides by high volume spammers is very difficult to handle for spam filters, no matter how well designed they are. And, programmers who self host mail on cheap VPS systems are by far the most likely to encounter this problem.

When all my peers were using AIM, and Yahoo instant messenger on Windows, I was on Linux communicating via online forums and IRC learning from mostly adults willing to mentor me as an anonymous username on the internet.

I was homeschooled and moved every 3-6 months growing up and in spite of all these "handicaps" I still learned to make several IRL friends within a week or two of every new city I ended up in. I would say hi, show them a magic trick, do some comedy bits I had been working on, or share the latest anime I was into. Whatever. Making friends is the skill to build in a kid, not technology conformity.

Stop worrying about making kids popular and making them conform in ways beyond basic manners and respect. The roads less traveled are more likely to kelp a kid develop atypical skillsets which will give them an advantage in the job market later.
Yeah, this is awesome!
No, it's all a ruse by companies that want to sell your data.

Totally depends on what you mean by framework.

In my experience, the people who work like this are the sort of people with 5000 unread emails who ignore slack DMs too because they're "too busy".

> I mean, seems a lot of people managed to succeed just fine going radio silent for a long time and simply observing their target audience until the last moment.

This is a local optimization, and only works if the entire team is on board with "keep BlargMcLarg unblocked" at the expense of themselves. As the parent put it, this is a people problem, not a tech problem, and by only dealing with _your_ needs you're ignoring the needs of your team.

> Which does allow for long stretches of work,

This is a time management (and people) problem. Not going to any meetings is likely to result in producers appearing at your desk because they don't know what's going on (because _they_ have 5k emails and you've not spoken to them in a week). It also doesn't solve the long stretches of work problem; time management does.
NYC as assertive, that's just the way it is. And most rich and famous people are not identifiable as such.

This is a non-story. If you don't have gang relations, no criminal record, no violence, no gun ownership ... there's no reason for the cops to bang down the door.

That said, I think cops are too aggressive in general about this.

That also said - the cops do have a policy of 'bang down the door' because I think it's actually safer for the cops (I loathe to find that data sorry).

So, like everything, it's complicated.

Definitely policing, like everything else has to be 1) 'smart' i.e. materially proportional, use force where required and 2) we have to accept at least some wiggle room. No matter what, the cops will be wrong some time.

So, like everything, we have to be smart about it.
Honest question, do you know a serious source I can read about how this rollout is being executed? I am only familiar with European energy policy, and grid storage currently is a pipe dream, more efficient construction is very slowly being rolled out and so far doesn't make a dent in the problem, and the renewable mix being expanded is inevitably intermittent (mostly solar and wind, with the rest being negligible), as hydro is a very small component of the mix so far and in the medium term future. The only question about our ability to build nuclear is cost-efficiency and regulations.

Happened to me, in ‘96. Brain tumor.

I’m still here. I have work to do. Got a lot done, since.

Whether or not it’s real, it’s a good story. I have known folks that have had similar stories. Last summer, I (and a bunch of friends) sat with an old buddy as he “pulled the plug,” and died from renal failure. It was sad, but it was also an Honor to have been part of it.

Value isn’t what people want. People want drinking water more than just about anything else, but that’s cheap to provide so the cost stays low. Gold on the other hand is rarely something people consider or want, but it’s rare therefore it has high material value.
This seems like the reasonable approach to me. And parents have been doing this for decades with regards to computer time or TV screen time.

The former would completely negate the point of editing vs. deleting which one can already do.

The latter... perhaps, I guess? But then why bother? Are people so desperate to keep their internet points proxies by retweets and likes that they can't fathom reposting if there was an egregious error?

To me the whole exercise is one of malicious populism. It's an idea that appears liberty-generating on the surface and is used to gather a mob but has no real utility.

I’ve found that I can’t really drink wheat beer any more. Sounds like a similar thing - discomfort in stomach. I’m guessing they use a different strain of yeast to ferment the wheat that disagrees with me. But my knowledge of making beer is extremely small. What expertise I have relates to the other end of the chain of production. The solution for me is to drink Belgian instead of German beers.

I had sleep problems a while ago, and have another perspective.

I don't want to say that alcohol works against sleep problems, because in my experience it generally doesn't. Just like I don't want to say that food does — eating when not hungry is bad. But still, when I couldn't sleep you might find me in the kitchen with a bottle of bock beer, or I might have a glass of milk and a banana. Both of those gave a decent chance of sleep, if I didn't repeat them too often. Better, somehow more realistic sleep than my pills.

Alcohol may result in below-average sleep, but depending on where you are, reaching a below-average status may be good or bad, see?
If that's the case then it's pretty impractical and double standard vs a human driver who needs to pull over immediately when instructed by the police or face potentially grave consequences if he doesn't immediately comply.

When I'm at the wheel, I can't just tell the cop tailing me "yeah officer, I didn't pull over when you told me to behause you should have called me on my cell to tell me that" lol.

If you wanna code professionally, it's time to put your personal likes and dislike to the side. There's a reason frameworks are being used. Don't let ignorance cripple yourself.

Frameworks offer a standardised way to build things, sometimes I don't like how some frameworks do stuff, but that's not a problem. I can set aside my personal feeling and just go with the flow.
It's not about figuring out how to do it in other ways that doesn't include Facebook servers. It's just that all the pupils are already on those platforms, as are the teachers, and asking everyone to switch to other platforms is simply inconvenient.

Most people simply don't care enough, and that includes most teenagers. People want convenience, and as little interference as possible. I'm not saying it's a good thing; on the contrary I suspect it will be outright disruptive for society in a generation's time or so. Still, people _like_ their dopamine fixes. Most enjoy being hooked to TikTok, and having a real-life attention-span beaten by goldfish.

This is a race-to-the-bottom though. Or a marathon-of-deepest-pockets, whatever you call it.

If you decide to make people pay up, a competitor will step up and offer a free version, subsidised from VC or lucrative other businesses. And if the competitor isn't free, at least its cheaper: triggering a race-to-the-bottom, ending in "free".

In any market, for any service with potential, there will be a free, or at least cheaper option. Untill mono-/oligo-polies are established and prices go up, at which point the customers are "extorted" or close to it: all the losses up to now, must be paid from revenues now.

This is seen everywhere (from food delivery, via webhosting, to PAAS to SAAS) and a clear and present proof of why "free markets" aren't automatically efficient and need authorities poking around in them - or else they hardly work at all, let alone efficient.
You can send information by sending additional information through classical means (thus limited to relativity). This is the basis for quantum cryptography, where you can have a shared one-time pad that is impossible to intercept without detection or and impossible to copy (thanks to the no-cloning and no-teleportation theorems).

But you can't send information through quantum entanglement itself without rewriting a significant chunk of physics as we know it. If you're going to do that, all bets are off and you should be consulting with wizards and not physicists.

I do this, but it's a dangerous trap to assume that the commenters are more reliable or a better authority than the articles themselves.

The articles have a filter that someone has gone to the "effort" of writing up an article, and it takes a lot of upvotes to get to the front page. The commentary has no such filter.

It's very easy to shoot down ideas on HN in the comments and get rewarded for it, especially if it's to dismiss a product with alternatives. Not just the now notorious dropbox comment, but I'm often seeing comments here suggesting alternatives that if you're in the know you'll realise just don't solve the problems in a pain free way.
> Safety, in Rust, is very well-defined; we think about it a lot. In essence, safe Rust programs cannot:

Sometimes, I wish there was a systems language that let you exactly do that. Dereference any memory location and see what memory is there. Use a cast to reinterpret the bits. If the memory address is unmapped, then maybe just throw an exception. Allow multiple threads to fill in different spots in a huge array at the same time. Basically write C as high level assembler, like you did in the 90s.

I know -fno-strict-aliasing and some other flags can get you mostly there, but you are still violating the spec and it is at best tolerated. I also know that you loose some optimization potential, but it also reduces UB and that is a trade off you should be able to choose.
> If a teacher could not figure out how to communicate with a kid without routing those communications through Facebook servers, I would kindly teach them how e-mail, matrix, or other neutral internet protocols work.

Honest question, how many teachers do you interact with? I don't have kids, but I've got a few friends who are teachers, and most of their coworkers are completely tech illiterate. Getting them to use email rather than whatsapp would be hard enough, but setting up and running a matrix server is completely out of the question.
Electric cars are certainly far from silent, and somewhere at the high end of city speeds they are hard to distinguish from other cars because most of the sound comes from the tires.

But subjectively I don't mind the tire noise nearly as much as the sound of an accelerating petrol engine.
A dictatorship has the need to define an enemy or threat so that people are fine to compromise on self-determination. It can be another culture or corruption or anything most people will align themselves against.

If that is absent, criticism towards government increases and its legitimacy is questioned if it cannot provide stable growth anymore.

But I fully agree that democracy is still the most successful model and still striving. A mistake western governments often make lately is to be too afraid of it.
All of those niche fields already have tech, often an incumbent company that started with MS Access and is struggling to scale.

Two niches I encountered, independent music schools, garden centres/nurseries.

So you're not going to bring a flourish just by bringing tech, they already have it. But can it be done better? Hell yes.

Can you make a business model out of doing it better?

...I don't know. In my country, that's a lot of start-ups that target agriculture, and deliver some good results, but then find out that farmers are risk adverse when it comes to new spending.

An old colleague developed fantastic software for managing hives, and then found that the beta testing apiarists who loved his software were even more risk adverse than farmers.

But yeah, if you want to target a niche, you need a partner who not only knows the problem domain, but the market/social network, and has good relationships, as sales will initially be word of mouth.
Careful, this sounds like the 1% fallacy - just because 1% sounds like a small number doesn't make it an easy target.

Every field that isn't immediately related to programming can benefit from more code. Fields related to programming from less code.

For example, every scientist I know struggles with a cobbled mess of bash, R, and Python scripts. Reading and writing CSV, cleaning data, moving things about, renaming and merging files. Drawing a pretty graph at the end. That sort of thing. Thousands and thousands of files. TBs of data.

Few scientists can program, but every single one would profit immensely from somebody who can set up small scripts. The coding itself isn't tricky but some of the domain knowledge is.

Though I don't know where to find such a position. The labs I'm familiar with work with first year bioinformatics students and similar and don't publish job openings as such.
There is no problem giving phones to kids as soon as they can read: just disable all data (including wifi!). There are plenty of useful (translators, scientific calculators, maps/compass), informative (ebooks, kiwix) and entertainment apps (music/video), and even games that don't require permanent data access. Communication (ostensibly the main reason parents are giving them phones) works fine with just voice and SMS.

It also helps a lot that (1) AFAIK pretty much all primary schools (<12 years) in our country forbid phones in our country, and (2) we as parents don't spend much time on phones ourselves (we do spend a lot of time behind a laptop, but they usually just see screens full of boring text and number tables, so they don't associate them with something desirable), and (3) pretty much none of the other kids they know have a smartphone.

I expect things will be very different in middle school (>12 years), but we still have a few years to revise and refine our strategy.

I got my 13yo son an Apple Watch with an eSim that is set up under my iPhone. It allows us to call and text together as family, and for him to communicate with friends via imessage and other authorized chat apps. He doesn't miss the social inclusion (invites to a birthday party etc) but also it has minimal addictive apps like tiktok, snapchat, insta. I can set access controls for it with Apples' parental tools.

Oh and the eSim plan is super cheap $79/year for unlimited calls and text.

Not quite the same, but being "stuck between a rock and a hard place" has a similar meaning. There's also Cornelian dilemma.

But at least in games like chess, everyone just says Zugzwang.
Something people forget is that it is a dedicated graphics card. Unless someone is going to implement high bandwidth system memory like Apple did, that Chinese graphics card will run circles around most integrated GPUs. The competition is horrendously expensive because of the high demand for GPUs. There is enough room for a niche GPU manufacturer nowadays.
I have encountered multiple Gen Z people recently fascinated with retro gaming, cassette tapes, records, and 80s/90s tv/movies who expressed similar. Some are able to see their phones as addictive and are starting to look for what life was like before them.

It gives me hope.
