Haha, when first learning programming I implemented Conway's Game of Life using a table of checkboxes. I remember I showed it to my mentor and he cracked up. He thought it was very creative but to me it had just seemed like the obvious tool for the job. Glad to see I'm not the only one!

Yes it is unfortunately... we used to use them as it supports a local farmer with a proper price for their milk and the delivery guy gets paid a fair amount but when prices shot up we went back to supermarket milk.

I'm all for making sure farmers get paid properly instead of ripped off by the supermarkets but when it comes down to it had to count the pennies at home first
Hitchens was and is a hero to many for his sharp rhetoric and slugger-like style, with which he at first criticized the US from a leftist, anti-imperialist perspective, then all religion (but particularly Catholicism and Islam) from an anti-theist perspective, which led him to support the regime change policies in Iraq and other (Islamic) countries, viewing Islamism as a principal threat that supersedes almost anything else.

Against this background it should not come as a surprise that he is a highly divisive and controversial character. I don't think anyone should expect a reasonable and balanced discussion about him on the internet, as the thread here would indicate.

As for "why Hitch still matters" (for others than those who side with him in controversy): this is not entirely clear from The Fine Article. It likely should not be taken as much more than an eloquent blurb with the intent of selling the anthology.
Its a less confusing standard too. The versions are sane.

Also i love that DP-plugs have that latch thing so the cable always stays attached
disagree. Many other factors.

For example, I believe the current rise in mental health issues is due to smartphone use. But I admit that's only a theory.
It's not really an alternative to twitter, though.
That's a very good point, but it requires a lot of code:

<form id=theme>
<label for=theme-l>light</label><input id=theme-l type=radio name=theme value=l>
<input id=theme-d type=radio name=theme value=d checked><label for=theme-d>dark</label>
</form>
<style>
input:checked{position:relative;z-index:1}
input+input{margin-left:-1em}
</style>

It is ugly, hard to style right, doesn't have toggle semantics, and needs strange code like theme.theme.value to get the value.

I'd much rather write:

<select type=switch id=theme>
<option value=l>light</option>
<option value=d selected>dark</option>
</select>

And it'd be an actual switch with one label on each side and I'd get the value with theme.value
I'm not sure I'd consider query-builders to be ORMs. You do inevitably have a mapping from query resultset to list<obj>, so it does meet the name itself, but there's clearly a very large difference between "Hibernate" and query-builder, and if you don't want to use ORM to be the differentiating term calling out Hibernate and friends specifically, then let me know what you do wish to use. But as far as I know, colloquially and commonly, ORM refers to the former -- not the general act of having any mapping at all.
I'd love to learn how Youtube Kids was not helpful?

Love that video, his passion for the art form really comes through.
I spent a significant portion of my youth (2010-2015) on TIGS forums, posted devlogs and talked to many others grinding their way into some of the best indie games, and man, it was a grand time.

Practically the entire indie community was in the same place, sharing art, music, code, and games together. There's still some activity today, but it does not compare to the golden era where it was really the Mecca of indie games, big names big titles all in one. Reddit and Twitter took up a lot more traffic with their addictive nature (point systems), which is not a bad thing, but I think that BBS/forum format is absolutely necessary for community building with a large scope, and neither Reddit, nor Twitter, nor Discord does it right.

I met quiet a few of my game developer contacts there, also hot at the time was Pixel Joint (https://pixeljoint.com/) when pixel art was all the craze.
Also sounds like you could create a human clone embryo and harvest the stem cells.

the demand for non-virgin plastic is practically zero, while the cost is higher

there are no economic incentives to use recycled plastic, and regulation mandating its use is minimal to non-existing. so most plastic that could be recycled isn't, and not because it isn't available/collected/sorted.

I don't know but I guess the smaller fish are protected by virtue of them not being worth the automation effort. A bad actor can spend a lot of time and effort attacking Github and have their efforts exposed to so many more developers than the same sort of effort on, say, Codeberg would achieve.
It is not at all cheaper and there's hardly any maintenance involved. In ten years you've spent $1200 on the same 2tb. You can get a 2tb portable SSD for about $100. You could have 20tb of storage amassed by then that you can either use outright or replace older drives with, assuming current prices somehow hold for 10 years.
This isn’t really a new observation, the ultimate issue is that some people see these terms and the associated books as blueprints for success and don’t think any further. I wrote this in 2015 when someone was talking about the need to replace the MVP with the EVP:

Last night I was leafing through Twitter and came across a tweet referencing the ‘great new thing’ the Exceptional Viable Product. Now stop me if you’ve heard this before but the general idea is to make sure your product is really good so it lands with a bump and gets picked up by lots of users quickly. AKA what everyone was doing pre-Minimum Viable Product and what you pretty much still need to do if you’re shipping anything like a boxed product. My initial reaction was to laugh and generate a big long thread on a friends Facebook wall. A buzzwordy and seemingly history ignorant ‘new invention’ is too good to pass up.

However MVPs, EVPs and other constructions of their ilk are really talking around the problem at hand. What should you release into the market and when? In this respect the re-invention of a pretty basic wheel in fancy start-up speak might suggest a bit of a sea change in the market as it approaches saturation with new ideas or consumers get less and less happy to switch to a new, buggy and feature incomplete product. Have start-ups worn out good-will?

Re-focusing things in terms of videogames and we can see some consumer dissatisfaction with similar ideas like Early Access. Games released in a relatively feature incomplete state have failed to engage players and then due to the funding model being reliant on new sales have failed to earn their keep. Ultimately this leads to general consumer weariness with the very idea of funding games ‘in development’. Double Fine are a great example at the reputation hit this sort of problem can cause.

Ultimately you want to ignore buzzwords and focus on the problem. What is the market situation I’m releasing into? How do I release with the best chance of success in that market? The answer to that is very situation dependent and exists on more of a continuum than most blogging would let you think. Think don’t just be taken in by the latest buzzword fad.
Transport cost is one factor, but even in countries where glass bottles are sold alongside plastic ones they are unpopular to the end user themselves because of their inconvenience.

The common 2kg×6 PET bottles format is too heavy for glass bottles, so you end up paying more for heavier 1.5kgx6 bottles that are going to last you less.
Facebook is long dead to me. Half of the pages I once subscribed to are taken over by bots posting scams and even porn, with graphic thumbnails, yet there is no single filter to catch this, wtf.
It does mean this cap is practically impossible to clean, and provides a lot of surface area and crevices for mould to grow or plasticizers to leak from the packaging into the product.

All engineering is a tradeoff, and I would be interested to see how those factors were considered when doing the redesign.
Maybe they can run a Linux viewer on an iPad to get the best of both.
I think you misread the quote, which is understandable as it's awkwardly phased. Estonia is on the "not doing well" list, at least compared with some other EU nations.
This was a fun read. It was both a great recap of whst happened, with links to the relevant tweets, and a nice takeaway.

I expected far less.
It's happening already. Many people perceive children as "spoiled" whereas in fact they're simply not as passivated as the previous generation.
Show HN: I made a gamified fitness app that features a social network and AI
Hi everyone, I launched calcium.fitness last year. It was called Stryd initially. I shared with communities and got ~100 users, plus feedback for the initial MVP launch.

calcium.fitness is a gamified fitness app with a community.

- Find a routine to participate in.
- Track your progress.
- Custom routines: Use AI or our tools to create a routine that's just right for you.
- Compete and climb ranks: Earn XP points, compete with others, and climb the ranks.
- Connect: Find and connect with like-minded individuals.

I've poured my heart into making fitness more engaging, and I'd love for you to be a part of this journey.

Try out the app at calcium.fitness or check it out on Product Hunt: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/calcium and let me know what you think!

The feedback so far has been invaluable. What features would you love to see? How can I make fitness more fun and engaging for you? Thanks!
Glass is in no way environmentally friendly. It takes a huge amount of energy to produce glass, and a singel glass bottle requires a lot of it. PET bottle recycling is the closest we got to a functional plastic recycling system.
You’re probably right that some people who participate in music that has high status in society (that you might call “serious musicians”) would sometimes look down on Sacred Harp and shapenote notation. Also agree that snobbery isn’t good.

I’ve sung a lot of Sacred Harp and people with a background in this high status music just blend in with everyone else really.
On mobile it barely loads the tweet for me, doesnt load any of the responses and if I go to the author's profile I get blocked by a login-wall.

Yeah, I read pretty much the same stuff, then found I really didn't like his newer work anymore.

I actually didn't finish The Peripheral, and I mostly do finish things I start. Maybe I'll have a look at the older stuff again one day too.
I think this is not meant to directly replace the first stage engines for a conventional rocket. Instead you'd use an approach like SpaceShipOne where you launch like a normal plane using jet engines and then only fire rocket engines once you run out of air. It would be cool to have this approach in a single vehicle. Thrust to weight is less of a consideration there. Although it will still be expensive to carry two radically different types of engines. I'd love to see an engine like this that can seamlessly switch to burning oxidizer that was brought along for the ride. Maybe even combined with an aerospike to get every last bit of efficiency out of higher altitudes. Then we might get true scifi SSTO spacecraft. Think of a 737 but it can go to space.
Why can't CPUs be told what to cache? Is it because the instruction sets are obsolete, or is there a technical reason why they can't be added?
Leaving kids to navigate conquering something that adults haven't isn't super appealing either.

With the lack of options out there, finding a way to preview content before it's made available seems the way to go.

Doing it early and keeping it that way seems to be the trick. But kids will often learn there is a "different" youtube on other family member's phones, or kids at school.
I recently watched a talk he gave with the same title. It was excellent. Honestly having one of those planning/discovery meetings before any code gets written can prevent so many nasty problems.

This feels like an old way of thinking. We used to have to submit to CGI, and it would have been very disruptive to do every time a control changed.

We don't have this separation for textboxes, radio boxes or selectors, so why do we need it for checkboxes?
Wow I completely forgot about tigsource! I spent a lot of time as a teenager there, totally inspired by the devlogs and trying to make my own games. Looks like it hasn't changed much, which is great to see
Many tech folks keep their kids entirely away from screens because they know what screens are doing to kids, because they are doing it to adults.
In my church we still use the Genevan Psalter in our worship. It is not the same as Sacred Harp, but many of the same principles apply, and it makes for excellent communal singing. I could definitely hear the similarities, but it is hard to explain exactly what they are.

The principles used during composing the Genevan Psalter was:
1) It should be easy to sing for untrained singers
2) It should sound sacred
3) It should be of high artistic quality

Also, the article meations the "deepest past." The Genevan Psalter comes from the 1540's, and many Reformed churches still uses it all over the world. That's some serious deep past.

I wonder if the Genevan Psalter influenced Sacred Harp?
Companies sure get to control what their employees can see or do on their devices.

> This article has some details

Couldn't find your own words? The details don't say much. Sure, you have to bend to C to some degree, but that's true of every language that wants to integrate with C. Go integrates no less well than any other language on that front.

And it's not even really all that accurate. Consider "Performance will always be an issue" – gccgo and tinygo have shown that you don't have to have any call overhead. They can call C functions as fast as C can. That is in no way a limitation of Go.

That is only a limitation of gc, and even then the overhead is only a few nanoseconds these days. You're never going to notice. These may have been concerns in 2016 – indeed, overhead was a lot higher back then – but time marches forward. Things change. The link is fast approaching being a decade old by this point. At least give us something from 2024, about the current release that is 17 versions newer than the one referred to in the link, if you really don't know how to formulate your own thoughts.

But you should be formulating your own thoughts if you want to participate in a discussion. Outsourcing thoughts to other people is nonsensical. If those other people want to participate in the discussion, they can write their own comments, but that is for them to do.

> or Rust

PRQL is written in Rust, so it would be quite strange if it wasn't true of Rust. Interestingly, the Javascript bindings use a WASM target. Go could also use the WASM target if there was some reason to avoid more traditional linking. It is curious that you didn't mention that. Again, reason to use your own brain. If you have to outsource discussion, why bother participating at all?
Yes, I mentioned that in my comment, unless you believe that after seeing five rolls including a duplicate, adding a sixth might bring the total to six rolls with no duplicates.

Yea, that's basic culture here. The bins are also sized according, and using the recycle bins is cheaper. There is still unsorted/compound waste, but plastics + metals go into the yellow/recycle bin automatically. Same for paper. Municipal waste centers are basically recycling sorters, where you have to declare waste type. You can offload recyclables for free and other waste costs you an arm and a leg, so there most certainly is incentive to follow.

Not that I'd take the recycling percentage at face value, there are certainly challenges. But the overall system is fairly solid.
Do you think NVidia is the world leader (by a wide margin) in GPU market share because their hardware or software is so great? It seems like no one can displace CUDA at this point.
> I go through a 64 gallon trash bin a week.

That seems absurdly large to me.

64 gallons is 250 litres. We're four and we use about one 30 litres (8 gallons) bag for "rest" trash per week (everything not recyclable, including diapers which take a lot of space, so hopefully soon we can at least halve that trash volume) one 30 litres bag for recyclable plastic/metal every two weeks and maybe one 30 litres bag for compostable stuff (mostly just vegetable and fruit peels from cooking) every two weeks or so.

That's about 60 litres or 15 gallons per week for a normal-sized family. I can see some of my neighbours having somewhat larger bags, some with smaller bags, but I feel like we are mostly average for our area (in Belgium).

In fact, a quick search tells me that Belgians have produced on average 683 kg of trash per year in 2022, which comes to 13 kg per week per person and seems rather consistent with my numbers.

It's not exactly what the article is talking about but: I have a 2 year old niece. Her family have an attitude of "let her learn for herself" that I've found pretty interesting. They keep a very close eye on her and try to warn her verbally and with demonstrations but don't really stop her from doing anything.

So instead of physically separating her from a hot kettle they just go "it's very hot!" and demonstrate by touching it carefully and then pulling their hand away. They let her play with matches.

She could pick up on these cues long before she could understand words. But it does look exhausting. And there have been some moments (once she was trotting around holding scissors pointing up in the air) where I've thought "no that's too risky and no amount of careful supervision can prevent injury here". She has also burned herself, but only once.

So overall I am pretty impressed, at least in principle, and if I have kids I'll definitely endeavour to try and curb my overprotective instincts.
One could argue that the fact that the animal which you are trying to kill has a chance of hurting you back makes that the only sporting option.

I've been thrifting a bunch recently and it's amazing how different even a 90s tshirt feels compared to a modern one. There's a heft and thickness to it that just doesn't seem to be the priority anymore. Also everything now seems to not be just cotton but blend in something that lets it stretch.
I chuckle when my parents generation call my generation spoiled and thin skinned because of things like this and participation medals.
