> the Chappelle special. I think he went too far at a couple places, but that's what comedians do.

I want him to stop doing trans jokes because he's not good at them. They aren't funny. As far as I can tell, they are attempts at cheap shock humor that might make sense for a new comedian to try to get some headlines, but not something someone with fame and talent should have to stoop to.
Software was eating the world. So much that it has started to eat itself. How predictable.
First, I'm Canadian, second - "There is significantly more VFX/animation studio work in Canada." - coming from an 'industry adjacent' situation (but not in the industry) - I would higly doubt that. I don't think you realize just how big the USA is, and that 'Entertainment' is one of their core industries.

'More Jobs Per Capita' - yes - that's entirely plausible. Canada is often much better than the US on so many 'Per Capita' things. But they are probably solid middle class jobs - which is fine - not the executive/leadership and high paying jobs.

Sure, and for most people the right amount of short to be is just not long.

My broader point is that HN is pretty selective on which “useless” or “evil” things it will utterly lose its shit over and it seems to be, roughly, things where other hackers make a pile except YC portfolio companies.
Nah, so far as I can tell: it's compliance. It asks the question "Will you do what it takes, even when it's irrational, to pattern yourself after our model?"

Moreover it's painfully easy to exploit your way through especially if you're already rich. Just go doctor shopping with Mommy so you can get a 504 and accomodations and stimulant medications.

If it selected for adaptation the curriculum would be different, things like figuring out the area of a circle using given materials, not abstract shit. If it selected for intelligence there would br a huge battery of exceptions, handicaps for the working class kids, because they have to put in way more effort than the kids living with their parents who are unemployed, likewise with non-traditionals.
You're talking from a very German centric point of view ;)

But it is true that most startups are in Berlin, even non-German ones open technical offices there. And it's also true that the average German has little interest in going there.
Meh, this is to be expected by some communities.

The cool thing is the tilde communities in general, not this specific one. Anyone can start one, they're small, community oriented, simple and light little online spaces that can be a lot of fun.
"You’re taught to value art that expresses a distinctly Canadian point of view. You’re taught that such a thing as a Canadian point of view exists at all and that there’s a whole set of aesthetic shorthand to convey it."

Anyone got any examples for that the author might mean with that?
Would be reasonable to expand that to "prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism against trans people". Hate is a pretty high bar perhaps?

The etymology of the -isms and the -phobias is unfortunate. But the <group of people>-phobias are not really about fear.
It isn’t even that good at anonymity for the most frequent use case compared to alternatives. By far the most transactions that may benefit anonymity are local and involve relatively low values. Cash is a perfect fit for that and gives you even more (and a lot easier) anonymity then cryptocoins.

Cryptocoins only prove them selfs superior if the transaction is located to far away to conveniently travel, or involves such large sums that gathering or carrying as cash becomes inconvenient (or impossible). I would think that over 99.99% of people never engage in such transactions where they additionally require—or even prefer—anonymity.
The Chapelle special acts opposite from its criticism. People are already generally discriminatory to the idea of trans. Chapelle brings this to the front, and makes a number of compelling arguments for why it's "real". Yes, he makes a number of poor arguments about the trans "community" (it's not one community), but if he were to be on stage talking up everything trans nobody is going to listen. People can have opinions without being evil.
Is America known for our deep and abiding inherent trust of our fellow countrymen? (I don’t believe we’re known for that, yet remote working works here, at least to a very large degree.)

I am trying to learn to make web based application interfaces. Like, say, a web form that manages a stateful process. The user provides info to a form, initiates a set of actions, and then monitors the results and provides further input.

I am definitely not a designer. Mostly I just want a design that looks decent and stays out of the way.

I have tried widget libraries but I have been happier with the results I am getting from plain old css.
You’re describing “universal service obligation.” It’s not a feature of all government services. You can get a landline at nearly any address from a private company. Whereas if you call the police, they can use discretion on whether to provide service.
In fact, it can be damaging to Canada - let Canada’s healthcare and education take the burden and expense of raising families and children, and then let America harvest the cream of the crop and take all the future tax dollars by importing them to the US.

And why is the FDA preventing imports? From the article, because the dairy industry convinced the previous POTUS to do so. It’s not like the FDA just decided out of thin air to ban Canadian formula - the decision was made higher up.

Which isn’t to say the current POTUS shouldn’t tell them to relax that rule. They should. I’m objecting to laying so much blame on the FDA - our federal agencies are acting on laws and policies enacted by our politicians.
Snowpiercer (the TV show) was made by TNT, and is available on Netflix and HBO (at the very least). Why focus on popular content they recently purchased as an example? It's really weak.
NextJS is my recommendation. The React ecosystem is incredible, and NextJS brings it to the next level.

Also the documentation is fantastic, you should be up and running in 5 minutes.

Pair it with a good IDE (i.e. WebStorm) and the websites write themselves.
I canceled over the recent price hike, but I think happened was that Netflix got too good analytics, so while their scripts all hit the good points, it feels very bland.

Then of course the classic stuff they use is classic because it is good, so the average will go down as they no longer have access to it.

I've heard it quipped that there's no such thing as anti-war movie. No matter how searing the criticism, no matter how horrifying the violence: war simply looks good on the screen, and the spikes of adrenaline we get during a war film excite us. The same could be said of films with any form of taboo sexuality, even when done in the spirit of satire or social criticism.

> I'm sure there are some snuff films with interesting character development too.

The criticism is absolutely worth considering, regarding the ethics of production. But it's worth contrasting like-with-like (not to shut down the argument, but to try to define the boundaries):

- Was the production of "The Professional" or "Taxi Driver" ethical? Both films sexualized young girls; and in the former case, Natalie Portman found the experience (particular the response and aftermath) moderately traumatic, and explicitly avoided roles with any sexuality until her late twenties.

- Was Kubrick's directorial process ethical, particularly in regard to The Shining, where he was blatantly abusive to Shelley Duvall (charitably, to elicit the best performance)? If that instance is over the line, exactly how hard are directors allowed to be on actors, and how much explicit prior consent should be necessary for "method directing"?

- To what extent is child labor in film-making ethical to begin with? We've converged on 14 as the minimum age for W-2 employment (notwithstanding family businesses, kids with apps, kids with YouTube channels, and "off-books" tasks for pocket money). If hiring a kid for a movie is fine, why can't that same kid sweep floors at a gas station? We could say "because there's no other way to make realistic movies"; but that's not that different from "there's no other way to tell a story about coming-of-age in a hyper-sexualized world".

- To what extent should such limitations be a product of individual ethical choices, vs social norms / taboos, vs "market ethics" (boycotts), vs public law and policy (either in the sense of labor laws, or indecency constraints on expression)?

Again, not saying that criticizing the production of Cuties isn't valid, or appealing to the status quo, and definitely not making some backdoor argument against child labor laws or age-of-consent; just that these questions are larger in scope, and don't have obvious answers.

It's the logical conclusion derived from the conceptualization of humans as programmable machines and education as their programming. After one accepts that belief, the issue merely becomes one of economy. Managing costs.
But it isn't the adtech people, it's the contributor people, who are willing to say it's an unviable consumer model.
If there's anything distinctly Canadian - truly, than the US, is that it is officially bilingual. Of course, almost no one in English speaking Canada can speak a lick of French because of how awful French language classes are - you can get an A yet remember nothing.
My personal confession is that I'm not a designer but I used to design a lot a decade+ ago. My friends, colleagues, and clients says I design really good websites. My trick was to follow patterns, sequences, and formulas.

I once, met an old colleague after 10 years, and told me they are still maintaining a website I designed for clinics and had made minimal design changes in that span of 10+ years.

I believe a thoughtful design is more about common sense.
As somebody in this world, there is so much going on behind the scenes that to speculate would be a waste of time.

Also, there is no "Montreal food" as much as there is no "Toronto food". I don't know why you think there is a distinction.

The healthcare you seem to be upset about is years long effort by the conservative governments to gut it down including the current conservative government in Ontario. And yet, not a word from you about that?

Good luck for your move to US but I think you have some other things you are unhappy about and I don't think moving countries is going to help.

The Collapse of Terra from the POV of a Market Maker
From personal experience teaching a small kid that does really well one on one learning. But with paper absolutely nothing.

One of the big benefits is of computers vs books: being able to directly give automated feedback.

Pronounce or type a word wrong, the computer instantly gives you specific feedback. If you do assignments on paper teachers checks it much further away from the point the cognitive effort has been applied. There is a much less direct feedback loop.

Especially for learning how to read a computer can give feedback whereas kids can go through texts not fully understanding, or misreading words without any correction.

Of course one on one is in some ways much more effective. But there are time constraints.

To automate certain things computer programs are most time effective. Just have to check in to make sure they are taking their work seriously.

It's also harder to pretend to be studying with a computer
but is it a deep copy??
> I imagine in Europe, it's probably Paris and London that draws both French/British and foreigners.

This is an interesting question. In my experience, there is no European equivalent. Relocating within the EU might be relatively easy visa-wise, but there is often a language barrier and a different culture you’d have to adjust to, which prevents the formation of industry-specific hubs. Depending on the country you’re from, you’ll likely say that your capital is some kind of hub for industry _xyz_, but if you ask citizens from another country in the EU the same question, I wouldn’t be surprised if you’d get different answers.
I appreciate your sentiments and, as a U.S. citizen, there are doubtless many aspects of this situation that would be opaque to me.
That's an approximation that works at some (very small) distance from the surface. It does really not work at the center of the object.

A project is trying to add Blockchain technology into a project I'm working with. Just that the Blockchain is owned by some company and that company was publicly asking people I don't know if they are able and motivated to operate a node for them.

This for example sounds way more complex than just creating a company which has the purpose of being the trust Anker, implemented with technology like CA, contracts etc.
I mean, fair enough, we can set the law aside.

Again, my point is that trans people are not complaining about "people saying negative things" in a vacuum. They are complaining about a specific situation that is happening which goes beyond just the context of the Chapelle special. I don't believe you are actually responding to the most common trans critique of Chapelle and, in not doing that, you dismiss the actual critiques they are making.

Let me put it this way: we don't have to agree about if the Chapelle special is a problem (I don't happen to worry too much about it but I understand why people are angry). But, I want you to imagine that the loudest and most alarmist trans folks are correct - Chapelle is helping a trend of violence against trans people. If that were the case (which again, is not exactly my belief tho things are pretty bad out there) disagreeing with them would be supporting violence against them. The best way, in my view, to avoid accidentally supporting that kind of thing is to start your personal thoughts (and public arguments) from the POV of the vulnerable community. That's how we can all avoid accidentally erasing an important critique.

100%. Footpaths should be reserved for people. Parking (as someone pointed out), utility poles, charging points, even bike parking, etc should be put there only as an absolute last resort. Unfortunately this is almost never the case.

Others are thinking about high tech solution to this, but as a start whenever there is on street parking just reserve 10cm between some of them and put all the utilities there.

We could also do with much less signage, outside of the ones for the speed limits (we would need a lot less of them with a 30km/h speed limit in cities… but I digress), road type (one way) and hazards I struggle to think of any others that is useful.

I was just playing with Nils M Holm's Klong this morning: https://t3x.org/klong/index.html (Klong rather than the others mostly because the C implementation looks like C so I have a ghost of a chance of actually grokking it.)

These folks are really onto something, but I think they get sidetracked in the (admittedly very very fun) minutia of the languages and lose sight of the crucial insight in re: mathematical notation, to wit: it's a means of human communication.

For APL or K to get out of their niches would require, I am convinced, something like a tome of documentation of a ratio of about 1.5 paragraphs per line of code. That would give us mere mortals a fighting chance at grokking these tools.

A similar problem plagues the higher-order stuff they're pursuing over in Haskell land. I know e.g. "Functional programming with bananas, lenses, envelopes and barbed wire" and "Compiling to Categories" are really important and useful, but I can't actually use them unless some brave Prometheus scales Olympus and returns with the fire.

Stuff dribbles out eventually. Type inference and checking have finally made it into the mainstream after how many decades?

Lots of takes on why Terra collapsed this week. What I found most interesting in this article is that a market maker is making the point that LUNA slippage causes arbitrage to fail.
Terra should have addressed was LUNA slippage by putting in a LUNA bid, instead of all their crazy antics like supporting UST.

For folks without 1:19:51 to spare, can you summarize the points of that video?

I'm not familiar with Chappelle's other work, but I watched the special (The Closer) and I didn't see what you seem to claim. I noticed:

* The heroine/protagonist is a trans woman.

* Chappelle was meticulous about using feminine pronouns (with one deliberate exception, I'm not going to spoil it, but it was respectful).

* He argued for trans people using their choice of gendered bathrooms.

* He ridiculed folks that are afraid of trans people.

* He directed vitriol at the "militant woke" that harassed and bullied his trans friend.

I'm a left-leaning bay area resident with trans friends. I thought the special was funny and personal and touching and pro-trans. In fact, if someone were to deliberately craft propaganda designed to make middle america comfortable with trans people, I think it would look a lot like this.

I can't help but think that most of the vitriol over The Closer is presented by people who haven't watched it. There's a guy elsewhere on this HN thread who is (still!) irate at Netflix because "Cuties" promotes the sexualization of children. Anyone who actually watched that movie knows that it's quite the opposite. But wow you will not convince him - and he's proud that he's never watched the movie. This seems like the same thing.

Maybe there's some broader context that I'm not aware of (again, this is my only exposure to Chappelle). But The Closer sure doesn't seem to warrant the hate.

That’s not dataflow analysis. It looks like a cast similar to something like in C# ie: if (foo is string as foo) where the “as foo” scoped variable is implicit. It’s basically implicitly redefining the variable with limited scope. Type guards are a slick feature but it is just an expression match and some syntactic sugar. Even user defined type guards in typescript have to be explicitly declared as such.

This would be more an example of CFA.
