I encountered LOGO when I was a kid and did not fully understand its elegancy.
Many years later, I leant engineering in college and then shifted to language study and instrument playing. Finally, I landed on live coding and made this live coding language in my PhD study(https://glicol.org).
I think in this era, music tech is much more democratised and we can easily access many kinds of software freely.

Yes and, especially, of myself.
It is rough if both parents are working. Lining up all the schedules and breastfeeding and whatnot is harder than it sounds, especially in northern (and southern) areas with less daylight hours. Just cooking and feeding and cleaning up after a picky toddler and baby learning how to eat can kill an evening. And then at least one is bound to be sick every other week if they are in day care…the list goes on for why plans have a low tendency to work out. See also mattlondon’s comment.
No, it works fine. You just could not remotely control it from outside the house. I didn’t even notice.
As I suggested in the past, it would be helpful to add [PAYWALL] before or after titles for links that have a paywall.
Why do ypu need a conspiracy where incompetence would suffice (not saying that’s the case but nobody fully understanding what’s happening seems like a more reasonable explanation compared to “foul play”)? Also it’s not unreasonable to believe that many of the researchers understood that not all the side effects were known but still judged that deploying the vaccines is worth it because the benefits outweigh the risk by a magnitude or two (again it’s hard to say if they were right).
So this is clearly amazing, but on the topic of page design for my future reference, can any frontend people tell me whether there is an effective way to avoid the 'i want to scroll but interacted with the graphic' effect?
I think you'll find most of us followed them, even if we didn't agree with all of them.
Had to do the same. However, I do handstand push ups on small parallettes[0] which keeps the wrist in the similar position as doing fist push ups, but doesn't hurt my knuckles.

> I had simply posted a meme on an internal social media platform in support of Tanuja Gupta’s protest against caste discrimination at Google.

This reads like "I posted a meme and a random person who read it started harassing me because he didn't share my belief."

What did this harassment look like? Also, I really would like to see that meme. And the examples he/she sent privately to the manager and the responses to it.

Then there's this thing: In my first quoted paragraph is the line "if they are crazy enough to actually admit that they believe in the divine power of God."

together with

"If you start talking about your religious beliefs at a social event people treat you like you just farted in their face. They frequently will scrunch up their faces and might ask a question like “Do you REALLY believe all that stuff?"

I'd make sure to not talk about religion with this person anymore, and if that overly religious person would try to do so again, would I be seeing that as an harassment?
The conversation was edited, we really don't know anything about the order etc.

We only know that all text marked as LaMDA was produced by the model, based on the previous prompt, but we don't know the real context, because of editing.
We can employ them to do pointless tasks like restoring the soil and afforestation or building housing. Fusion is necessary for space exploration so we can also hire them for that.

Isn't it weird, how there are these logical societal investments and yet the economic system isn't set up to let us do them even though the capacity to do them exists and we have unemployed people desperate for work?

We dislike these investments and deride them as zombie companies.
It sounds like Blake is experiencing micro aggressions for his beliefs, based on the evidence in the article. However, that is not the same as discrimination. It seems like he is suffering from not experiencing a privilege that he is used to having.

While in tech, I do believe religious people are in the minority, they still make up the hegemonic norm in the US. An article like this can appeal to a much larger majority outside of the intended technology audience.
How to set up an AWS Route 53 custom domain for your Heroku app
Setting up Route 53 domains with Heroku apps had confused me in the past and caused unnecessary time consumption. So I made a set of instructions that shouldn't take more than 30 minutes to complete. Hope it saves you some time as well.

> By spending too much time indoors we are becoming glasshouse flowers.

Efficiency vs anti-fragility. Pick one, but not both.
It was kind of common knowledge that something related to being a nerd was causing myopia, but I'd say most people assumed that the culprits were things like reading and screens, rather than being indoors.

Hindsight is 20/20.
the OP claimed:

>of which LIDAR tells you is exactly 12.327 ft away, you still need to figure out whether it is a trashcan or a child. And if it is a child, whether it is about to jump on the road or walking away from the road. LIDAR does not tell you these things.

That is ignorant, because LIDAR together with processing obviously can tell you if the thing is a trashcan or a child. The post by is ignorant, because to my understanding it implies that LIDAR does not provide enough information to make that determination, which is untrue and not how LIDAR works.

Now if they mean we still need some way to process this information and make decisions of what the different things are, that's a bit disingenuous because that's completely orthogonal to LIDAR vs cameras vs RADAR and using that argument we could dismiss any of the other technologies ignoring the fact that more (and different) data typically allows you to make better decisions.
I think you'll enjoy Matrix Analysis and Applied Linear Algebra from Carl Meyer: http://matrixanalysis.com/

Almost every topic is illustrated with an application or illustrative example, and the applications are very interesting.
Actually, I wonder if you are referring to the Xgl [1] demos:

Maybe Enlightenment WM started using Xgl too, but AFAIK Compiz was the first implementation to make it usable.

Agreed. My wife had no electricity for her child life, but is nearsighted... probably from reading books all the time as a kid. I don't believe that light has anything to do with it.
> Maybe I view it as too easy because I learned it as a child.

This is my experience with headstands. Never lost the ability to do them (gained as a child). I was surprised when they were treated as a big deal in yoga classes.
Author's main point is that computers make their decisions based purely on how they are programmed, disregarding any human feeling. Well, the same can be said about nature.

> people think they were promised

When so many people "think" they were promised something then the more likely explanation is that the promises were misleading.

I think this was Tesla's strategy and it was a winning one too. Tesla got a lot of cash from that promise, helping it be the company it is now. But the strategy is also a victim of its own success because there comes a point to deliver on the promise and you can only delay that by doubling up on the promise for so long. Then so many people start asking questions at the same time it's like a bank run. The strategy goes bankrupt unless it can actually deliver.
I've read a number of these studies. My thoughts are that a number of them have confounders which are not well controlled for, and they often have limited statistical power, representation issues, or other technical faults which impact their expected validity. Further, in most cases, reproduction of the study is generally not possible. In any case, individual studies simply listed supporting a particular conclusion particularly without a listing of similar studies which present opposite conclusions - and a direct comparison therein - does not a metastudy make. What's attempted here is a metastudy and, as a metastudy, it's quite lacking.
Wlroots does a lot of the heavy lifting here, and that is by design. It’s now much easier to write Wayland compositors than it used to be. So yeah, we can have these enlightenment style things that get used once again.
Is it really an issue though? My glasses have saved me from injuries to the eye multiple times by flying objects, I'm actually thankful I have them.
No its a bit more complex, there is nationality mixed in there as well as colour.

however my statement is based on personal experience travelling through the USA. Americans talk a lot more about race than I expected. They are upfront about their dislike of certain racial epithets.
Google Maps still knows where you are on your mobile because it can still detect nearby WiFi networks and use the GNSS receiver. You would need to remove these permissions, and then it wouldn't work at all.
Luckily you can still use them for that even if you no longer need them for vision correction :-)
Why can we have 2-lense glasses that move the focus to infinity?

ELI5: In opticals, “rays” coming from a near object (=mobile phone) are angled, while rays coming from afar (=end of a landscape) are parallel. The job of pupils is to bend the rays from the focal point ahead to the focal point on the receptors in the eye. The eye is a rest when looking afar, because rays come parallel, and thus there isn’t much to do. The eye is strained when trying to focus one something closer.

I’ve always wondered why we all had that UV filter on screens and never took care of making the rays from the computer screen parallel, using a lense.
That appears to be the Tory strategy in general. They are ideologically opposed to the state providing anything. Except lucrative contracts for their mates, of course.
Sure but the story of civilization has been a constant struggle to ensure nature does not make decisions for us.

So is politic, or pretty much anything else people have a personal interest in.
Absolutely untrue. They can follow a preprogrammed path and can land themselves if the airport has the correct equipment, which most do.
Funny, I try to use returnable crates of bar bottles sold by supermarkets and it drives the cashiers nuts. The stores seem to be afraid to use bar/QR codes in the other direction for fear that they are used incorrectly.
> It feels both my duties at home and in the office are exaggerating themselves because I am seemingly available to both of them all the time.

Personally, I just set boundaries and stick to them. When I'm working, I'm unavailable to anyone else at home (except for emergencies) and will help them with whatever they need later. When I'm done with my work, I'm unavailable to the team, no Skype/Slack/Teams on my phone (though they have my phone number for work emergencies).

Admittedly, this works because I do not have kids currently, given that healthily establishing borders then could be a lot more challenging, at least in a positive manner.

That said, if I do make the choice to work longer on something really important, I can do so at a decreased personal expense to myself (no being stuck in commute late in the day), after letting everyone know so that I may leave faster on another day to not burn out.

And taking breaks is suddenly also more healthy due to my own enjoyable surroundings and nobody to care about how I spend said breaks - lazing around the couch, going outside to spend some time with my pets or going for a walk in fresh countryside air (of course, applicable in a limited set of circumstances, depending on where you live).

The environmental impact is also a nice thing, though something that's less of an important point to me - the more noticeable benefit is the lack of having to waste my time commuting.

It all very much depends on what your life circumstances are, though, as well as what your personality is like, which environment is better for you etc.

Good point about the sprite editor. I've been struggling with finding interesting things to show in picture form since most of the work so far isn't graphical. The sprite editor and in-world build mode are things that I should show, though.
While Rome and Istanbul are really bad, most of Europe is good. Consistent use of traffic circles are a dream (instead of America's infatuation with signalled t-bone collision intersections).
A very large proportion of the population spends 8-10 hours a day, 5-7 days a week, 3/4 to 11/12ths of the year, doing things they don't particularly enjoy, for money. Per Piketty & our dear senator from Vermont, less than 1% of world population controls over half of of the world's wealth.

"Conspiracy" is just rhetoric. It's a word to shoo people away who aren't inclined to think things through. Replace "conspiracy" with "paycheck", and you've just explained how the world works. There are chemical plants, with hundreds of employees each, that have been poisoning communities for generations. And most of these employees live in the same communities they've been poisoning! And the situation persists! And you're rolling your eyes at us for doubting that the medical establishment--the 3rd leading cause of death, after heart disease and cancer, with its whopping 19.7% of US GDP--couldn't hide their boo-boos (even if they tried!) behind esoteric epidemiologyese?
I replied elsewhere...I disagree that light type is the culprit. If so, why do people in areas without electricity become myopic? That strongly feels like correlation rather than causation at its finest.

My brother and I were kids with mostly similar habits. We spent a lot playing outside, but he loved reading his Goosebump books, while I mainly watched TV at a distance. He needed glasses as a kid, and I didn't until we got a computer in my teen years. It completely feels like it's a focusing distance issue.
> In the UK we don't get a lot of sunlight in the winter months

Thus, are more people nearsighted in UK than in the South of France?
Yes, to your questions; however, do note that I am not the one publishing this unsatisfactory metastudy. As such the burden is on the publisher to produce something of value by looking up the pros and cons and comparing the two. Otherwise, anyone could just punch up google, print out the results for "flat earth" and claim to have done research which says you should believe it. Obviously, that's not the case.
Quite literally every Selenium test I’ve had access to has been a total disaster. When your build pipelines fail 50/50 because of some bullshit Selenium timeout no one can reproduce that resolves itself the next run, it’s time to look at another tool. Not to mention that the Selenium port for .NET is a literal verbatim translation from Java and written by people clearly not versed in C#. The API and way the library works are nothing like how you’d expect a C# library to work.

For example class properties are not meant to do expensive work and yet they directly interface with the IPC to the browser. This means debugging in Visual Studio becomes impossible in any meaningful way. Hovering over a property while paused on a breakpoint will trigger some command in the browser that might throw an exception which causes an exception in the debugger.

Playwright, Cypress, Web Driver are simply what should be considered the defaults in 2022.
I have often wondered this myself, but the dangers of UV light seem to be well documented, with no benefits.

If you wear UV protective glasses most of the time you can almost elimate cataracts.

The UV index here in southern Australia tends to be high to extreme most days during the warmer months, so I tend to wear UV protective sun glasses anytime I'm outside.
Immediate turn off to be honest
If there’s nothing wrong with you, why are you wearing glasses? I wear hearing aids because my hearing is flawed. I would be ecstatic if there was a genetic solution.

It's a rational looking theory, but is there any evidence that superstitious people exhibit more ethical behaviors?

I have the impression that since those people are not bound by evidences they can justify unethical behavior much more easily. And so this trait that should make them more ethical actually backfires and enable worse behavior.
Or you could just allow the interest rate on capital to fall to 0% by introducing a negative interest rate on cash and close up all the economic rent seeking via land value taxes and similar approaches. That would eliminate the profitability and growth requirement and result in the end of capitalism as we will have too much capital to care about it specifically.
Stuff at small stores costs more money than stuff at big stores. As you point out, labor efficiency is one of the reasons, but there are others too. Regular people know this very well. The “urbanists” active in HN threads are typically well-off enough that they don’t care about whether their grocery bill is $50 or $60. That’s good for them, but expecting everyone else to follow suit is rather out of touch.
Ya and we’ve sure done a bang up job of making sure nature doesn’t make any decisions for us.
> To me, one of the basic rules of social etiquette is never talk about religion or politics unless you’re amongst people who share your views or it’s a specific religious or political gathering.

in case you have not noticed politics is creeping everywhere these days, even in non-political events.
It may just be a pet peeve, but it rankles me a bit when the term "epidemic" is used to describe widespread conditions that are not communicable/infectuous. Looking at the dictionary it appears the usage here is legitimate, but my guess would be that it is a misuse that has become accepted, like using the term "begging the question" to mean suggesting the question.
But that's not happens, it's not that your eyes get adjusted to only seeing things closer, rather they don't develop well unless they are exposed to sunlight. Which just goes to prove it hasn't really been obvious all along.

Welcome to my second least favorite programming headache (after time zones) that I run into annoyingly often: paginating through time with 'now' being the starting page. You're navigating left because it's a previous entry, but it's also right because it's the next entry you want to read.

Maybe I should add 'First Entry' and 'Most Recent' buttons in addition to 'Previous Entry' and 'Next Entry' to make it feel a bit better.

The original commenter was speaking of things that you admit are in the fabulous future, and talking about them as if they exist in the present right now. And that's just a lie.
The superiority to which you refer is questionable. If the goal of these explanations is to prove the origin of the universe in some kind of mathematical sense, they all fail. They all belong to the same category.

The inferior tier is one where an explanation can be proven false with the limited tools of the 2022 version of humanity. Perhaps some religions' explanations fall into this category, but not all.
