I spent more time than that around that age and everything was fine. Not saying it's always fine but more context would give you better answers here.

What games are they playing? Anything competitively? What anime are they watching? Do they talk to friends / discuss them online? Do they get excited by it?

Your friend could try to engage with them around their kids interests instead of taking them away and forcing other things that may not be of any interest and just stress their relationship.

Maybe it was a lot but I turned out fine... in my case I was playing DotA / TF2 competitively at the time and so I learned a lot of transferable skills (that come to anyone that competes at a reasonable level), even though "I was in front of the computer for a long time", which is exactly how my parents would have described it.

I watched movies and anime a lot in "front of the computer" but I had communities online to discuss them and engaged with them deeply (i.e. not just a mindless activity). Here I was lucky that I had friends to talk to / watch with.

It all depends really and I would push back to understand if their child's time on the computer is actually wasted.

Also, 18 year old isn't really a teen anymore... basically an adult!

For the record I don't spend that much time these days but my interests just sort of shifted as I grew older naturally to other things, but the way the post is phrased just makes me wonder if it's actually a bad thing...
Aren't dividends taxed? If so, you should have a way to set the tax rate for them so folks can evaluate performance in a taxable account vs tax free.
> So what changed? Not the Constitution -- the text of the 14th Amendment has been the same since its ratification. The difference is that these particular justices believe that the text means something different than what every other set of Supreme Court justices before them believed.

How can you make the "what changed" argument, and not also apply it to the Roe v. Wade ruling itself? You do realize that 105 years passed between the ratification of the 14th Amendment, and the Supreme Court realizing that it banned abortion? The authors of the 14th were alive for much of that time - you'd think they would have said something.
Hi, which language do you use with Playwright?

thats a bit extreme and a false analogy sir.
But are rents higher than the mortgage + insurance + maintenance + lack of liquidity + the potential home value changes.
If the expectations is that the home value are dropping, the math seems pretty simple.

But in a different financial environment, maybe a few years from now, your expectations might be different and the math works out differently
This seems like an insane law. I'm shocked it works at all. If a country wants to provide people insurance against sickness, totally fine. But to push it off on employers seems crazy. Let's say you are a small business, you have 1 employee. If they get sick you are now stuck paying them for 6 weeks and you can't replace them? So your small business can basically go under if someone gets sick.

I really disagree strongly with trying to push things onto companies.

The government want to pay basic income? Great! The government want to provide health care? Great!

This to me is the main advantage I like about basic income, is it really seems like we can get rid of all these suboptimal laws with horrible abuses and bad tradeoffs, including:
- min wage
- overtime
- vacation requirements
- healthcare requirements

So businesses can just focus on what they do best and the government provides a safety net.
Because self-driving has a bunch of tricky edge cases and most of them will kill people. Problems with hundreds of important edge cases cannot be solved by simply throwing more training data at the problem; that's how you solve AI problems in a "dumb" manner, and it works for lots of problems (like recognizing dogs in images) -- but not for self-driving.

To solve the self-driving problem we need "smart" A.I., which means we have to approach it with systematic engineering, and the solution will probably involve some combination of better sensors, introspectable neural nets, symbolic A.I., and logical A.I.
For starters, I have responded to a comment from a user, not to the submission.

And second, using distilled water to clean your glasses must be strong contender for least practical glasses cleaning technique.

Blow the water off

vs

Find that jug of distilled water (make sure there is one at work and at your parents in law), then rinse with it (you can do it, hold the jug in one hand and the glasses in the other, don't use all the water), then use the hair dryer on cold to dry your glasses.

--

If you need distilled water and hair dryer to do it the result will be permanently dirty glasses, not clean ones.

It is serious but in hyperbole. The water is probably near freezing, but not below. Frozen pipes are a big problem in cold regions, they expand and burst, so measures are taken to insulate and keep the pipes warm. Depending on the piping though, sometimes the only resort is to completely drain the pipes during winter and not have any running water for that part of the year. (Common in cottages rather than real homes)

Yes, if it's in public it's fair game thanks to the 1st amendment.

It depends on the level of income/wealth disparity in the societies. China/India can have 200M rich people and 800M+ extremely poor people and still have 200M in the middle classes.

The extremely poor live in huts/have no expectations of moving up/have no education with which they can do things other than manual labor.

Although, even in India, the cost for cooks/maids/drivers/farm workers has exploded since the 90s. Many families that used to be able to afford them, cannot anymore. But that does not mean the cook/maid/driver can afford their own maid. It just means they now have the ability to eat at a restaurant once a month or buy a smartphone.
Esbuild works just fine with browsersync proxy. Simpler approach.
I've also had a similar experience peeling and crushing a massive amount of garlic by hand with no gloves. Not as bas as with chilis, but still caught me by surprise.
I believe they were exaggerating a bit. Water pipes are typically buried deep enough in the ground that the water gets very cold but not frozen. The pressure in water lines isn't high enough to really drop the freezing point of the water to an appreciable amount.
It isn't about the quality of the audio, although in some cases it is. For most, navigating a physical device is still a much easier workflow than navigating software synths. There are so many advantages to software synths, but also working within the limitations of hardware forces you into a creative head space you might not get with software. I always felt uninspired by software at least until I discovered VCV Rack, but even then sometimes clicking around and zooming in and out feels tedious.

Midi controllers are great, but setting them up can be a negative experience. The other big issue with software synths honestly is DRM. Some have DRM that is just as bad as video game DRM. I got locked out permanently from a VST I was using to generate melody data, and when I reached out to support they told me nothing could be done and I would have to re-buy the VST again. What happened was I had to keep inputting my license because occasionally, the license info would become disassociated with my VST. What I didn't know was this counted towards the max number of installs my license was capable of.

The other big issue with VST is you end up in a situation where you cannot update your operating system because over time, VST's become unsupported and will not run correctly when you update your OS, DAW software, or audio drivers. This is an absolute disaster in terms of security.

I would rather work within the limitations of synth hardware than deal with all the pain that comes with software. I still use VST software though. Aside from VCV Rack Serum is outstanding and will do almost anything you could possibly need a synth to do, and it does not have crazy licensing issues.

I think most artists use a hybrid hardware/software workflow, but there are definitely disadvantages no matter what path you choose.
> Analog synths, at least, just won't sound right if components get swapped.

I think this is true in some cases for particular analog synths. But my impression is that most synths aren't using unobtainium chips like this. I think you generally can redesign the circuit using alternate components and get to a fairly close sound. But that redesign process is iterative and time-consuming.

By analogy, imagine there a shortage in "compiler invocations". You have a giant program written in one language, but you can't run a compiler on it. Could you port it to another language without a shortage? Sure, but it's a ton of work, and if you end up in another language that has its own compiler invocation shortage, you're no better off.
Yeah, but I am sure Tesla's software can do the same.

Depending on the route, you could probably even do it with comma.ai hardware.

When I think of FSD, I think any route under any condition.
> All of the many widely read and reviewed books on Gates' career tell the same story

Is it really that surprising that books specifically documenting Gates would cover his version of events? This is a very definition of selection bias right there.

> If they were wrong, surely someone other than a couple of randos on the internet would have got on the author's case. But nobody has done

There's plenty of contradictory accounts. People have literally posted them right here. You're just refusing to acknowledge they exist because you've never bothered to research this beyond Bill Gates own personal account. But I'd suggest you read some content written from the perspective of Kindall if you're genuinely interested in hearing the other side of the story. He has even written about it himself.
Looks amazing. Would love to be able to buy part 1 as it's own book! Perhaps worth making it a series of books instead of parts?
I'd be curious to hear more about your Kubernetes workloads. What virtualized hardware do your pods require?
That's not true. My glasses are super light and the thickness is not a concern whatsoever. I can shake my head back and forth with my head down and they don't move at all. And for the past decade since my Rx got particularly bad I have always found the aberrations annoying, so no, I won't "just get used to them".

I can't stand chromatic aberrations because they make everything outside of the centre of the lens blurry. This worsens my tendency for one eye or the other to wander if I'm trying to focus on something just at the edge of reading distance (road signs or restaurant menus, for example) and makes driving at night in the rain difficult. My current glasses have an acceptable amount of abberations, but my previous set was horrible.

I really should be wearing contacts and I've tried them several times, but I generally find them very uncomfortable and I've always hated how they take away my perfect close-up vision.
Thats funny
Quick aside: if you're willing to live the nightly life (unstable rustc), the `type_alias_impl_trait` feature gets you most of the way to "async trait methods". You still have to have a `Future` associated type, but in impl blocks, it just becomes `type Future = impl Future<Output = Blah>`, and then the compiler infers what the concrete (and probably unnameable, if you use async blocks) type is - no need to mess with `Pin<Box<T>>`.

The most egregious code comes when implementing one of the `AsyncRead`/`AsyncWrite` traits or similar, and that can come up a bunch in backend services, for example if you want to record metrics on how/when/where data flows, apply some limits etc. I'm curious how the ecosystem will adapt once async trait methods land for real.
Volkswagen enters battery business with $20B investment
This is almost not a child question but a question about any friend/person you care about. They're old enough that just setting restrictions is going to make them replace one unhealthy habit with another if the underlying issue is not fixed. Is it really better if you forcibly take away the computer and they replace it with going to pool halls all day?

If I had a friend that was wasting their life away, I'd try to find out what they were interested in doing in this decade or 5 years of their life and then I'd try to help them and motivate them to begin on it. You'd then probably have to actively try to help along the way because they probably don't have the skills yet to push through at every single minor roadblock they might hit. Basically you'll have to repeat this motivation/help hourly, then daily then weekly for a long time.

Any idea why Druid performed so poorly though? 100x slower seems odd. I though druid was reasonably good at single table analytics like in this benchmark. Is it the small data size?
Defeatism and giving up on challenges is exactly what I want humanity to not do, but this kind of regressive society is being fed by social media constantly. To live poor, to eat vegan food, to give up technological progress and to save energy.

The fact that out of all places, HN advocates it, is truly an end of an era of human ambition. I come to HN for optimism and relentless push to change the world for the better.
Sure !

But are the financials of the company also real ? The prospects of future products ? Robotaxis, FSD, Cybertruck, Semi ?

Uber bet the company on robotaxis and lost. Tesla is still building very good cars that happen to not be able to drive themselves. Just like every other car. If they could lose their obsession with self-driving and just focus on their incredible cars, they'd still make money.

The classic way to test out a BASIC interpreter was to see how it parses "FORK=ATOM".

BCC Basic is parsing it as FOR K = ATOM and complains that "TO" is missing.

Applesoft Basic is parsing it as FOR K = A TO M, and adds spaces when you list it back.

C64 Basic is parsing it as FOR K = A TO M as well, but does not add spaces when you list it back.

QBASIC and GWBASIC are parsing "fork" and "atom" as variable names.
It's tangential but what a confusingly written article, it could have very well been machine translated and I'd have been none the wiser.

I'm confused; are you bringing up China as a good example? Because they currently have much more dangerous problems both with economy and society than the first-world countries, and unlike first-world countries, don't really show agility and self-reflection required to address them.
Thanks, your response was very helpful and appreciated.

> Caveat if you don't have the skills required to start the company, then there's no opportunity cost and the opportunity cost exists somewhere else if you have other skills. I did notice how several founders were very good at fundraising, instead of writing code -- and it was equally important.

Totally agree, but that's why I brought up the example of the AirBnB cofounder. I'm assuming among the three of them that probably Brian Chesky and/or Joe Gebbia were the fundraisers and Nathan was the engineering mind (don't know if that's true). I just don't understand why engineering folks would "sell themselves short" if the contribution is as equally important as fund raising, business acumen, etc.
There are multiple ways to try to stop this behavior. I will tell you the ways that didn't work for my parents. Turning off the internet, cutting the electricity off, hiding the PC or consoles, knocking the door at night asking if I am playing or studying. They annoyed me so much that I stopped playing for a while, got a job and moved out from my parents house at the first opportunity. Now, I continue to play as before but no longer talk to them. If that is the outcome the op friend is trying to accomplish then ok.

While I'm all for open standards, the fact is they're no magic wand. It's just as possible for an open system to be clunky, outdated and abandoned. Just because it's possible for someone to work on it or fix issues, that's no guarantee anyone will.

The problem here was poor consideration of requirements and inadequate governance, and there's really no substitute for just flat out doing a better job at those. After all, nobody is stopping someone developing an open suite of exam software, it's not against the law or anything. It's all very well saying that's what we need, but somebody has to actually buckle down and do it.

In my country the market leader is TakeAway / Just Eat (Thuisbezorgd) and they just mention a price for the food and a price for the delivery. Nothing else, no bullshit. If you're a regular customer, you're better off ordering directly though, since they take a cut of about 10%. Websites of restaurants regularly mention this, and since Dutch like to be cheap I suppose it works. In a way its honest to mention the 'service fee', if they were also upfront that the cut is because they're a broker/middleman.

Maybe but that job requires a basic understanding of public perception, so they must know how it could be perceived, yet they did nothing to account for that.
This would suggest that delivery would be even more impractical in countries with very low wealth inequality, like Japan, but my experience is that's not the case. If anything, the service quality is better there.

It's fun to see everybody succumbing to scaling laws. We will only have FSD when we can run realtime inference with a huge model. No amount of creativity seems to overcome the fact that bigger is better. So, let's wait Moore's law do its job.

You're willfully ignoring that atmospheric tests are banned since 1963, the devices weren't detonated at the same time, many had a much lower yield than what'd be used in a nuclear war, and many were detonated at altitudes preventing fallout.

But most importantly, the vast majority of them didn't cause firestorms - which means no smoke particles, which is the major issue in how severe nuclear winter would be.

It's probably also worth understanding that your misguided argument is a very deliberately placed piece of disinfo aimed at discrediting climate science. ("See, not even nuclear winter they got right")

I suppose a better question then is, why isn't this routinely done for factory firmware? It seems that such a distro would be immensely helpful for any kind of recovery.

The "doing REST wrong" was in quotes to express that the practice might be widely accepted but it is not exactly kosher.

In "true" REST, if you have a "search" endpoint, POSTing to it should create to a resource, which could be a reference to the list of results. The created resource should have its own endpoint (something like `/search/results/:query_id`), and the client could then cache it.

If you don't want to do that, but still want to say you are really following REST, you could have an endpoint to represent your resources (`/products`) and use GET with filter parameters in the query string (`/products?search=my+search+term`)
