You've gotta admit though that inlining isn't the usual case. Especially if you're not using ES6 and the component your inlining is a few or more lines long.
Notice that this changes right around the age of puberty. Having grown up quite poor, my hypothesis is straightforward.

Before you are a teenager, the things that make you happy and that you value are largely disconnected from money. Happiness is more about the environment not being pathological more than it is about having material goods. Children invent their own happiness.

As a teenager, it becomes about the mating ritual. In that context, relative material deprivation can have a significant adverse impact on the ability to attract a quality mate. I would expect that in countries where it is relatively easy to change your material position in society would have happier adults than one where there was less opportunity because it gives the person more ability to improve their outcomes on the mate selection front.
I don't think any tech firms that are concerned with diversity are not hiring "coding geniuses" that happen to be White or Asian.

Diversity programs mainly attempt to increasing the number of members of currently-underrepresented groups in the entrance of the hiring funnel and reducing biases in the hiring process that select for currently-overrepresented groups over merit.
I think we'd definitely want to count BI as income in general, but we may want to rework the tax code on the low end such that if BI is your only income you don't need to file, as fredkbloggs suggests. One way to do so might be setting the standard deduction equal to BI and eliminating refundable tax credits.

I can also see introducing BI as an opportunity to remove some of the tax expenditures that riddle the tax code -- broaden the tax base. But I don't see any reason to change the basic nature from progressive to flat. After all we'd still need to raise quite a bit of money to pay the BI as well as the remaining government functions that BI doesn't replace. Even under the current progressive model, eliminating tax expenditures is probably not going to be enough.
Oh, well if a Ted speaker disagrees with my personal tastes, then clearly they must be objectively wrong. I will adjust them immediately.
Recreational driving will continue, but become more expensive. Car insurance companies aren't going away. Less drivers = higher premiums.

It's actually a UX improvement: a lead designer at Microsoft talked about how "people aren't squares" in a recent blog post [1]. I'm not sure it looks that great, but once you know the logic behind it it's a lot more interesting.

I find the pastime of trying to pin somebody as a hypocrite on the internet as a loathsome and destitute form of debate that has become all too common.

But you're still not getting it, if you actually went back and read my replies and attempted to understand them maybe you would see, but you don't seem to have any interest in specifics, only in generalization. Still, I'll feed your troll on more time.

> Here's an example relating to your experience. I could claim: "I'm not arrogant enough to use RoR for serious web development".

> On the surface, I'm making a claim about myself / my beliefs. You shouldn't feel upset over my statement, it's not about you or any other people...

This is a fallacy to assume that just because I am attacking an idea, that no one will be offended. Of course someone can be offended if they have a belief that I think is arrogant, that is not in question, it's a phenomenal strawman you've set up there.

Also, it's absurd to equate the belief that it's arrogant to use some mundane tool to the belief that the nature of consciousness is outside the bounds of human knowledge. Is it the case that you are fully aware of the nature of consciousness, and I'm just an ignoramus who is clueless about the state of human knowledge? Okay, enlighten me then, I'm open to arguments about the nature of consciousness and why we be certain about it.

Your assertion boils down to the idea that it's arrogant to believe that any belief somebody else holds is itself arrogant, regardless of how preposterous that belief may be. Fine, you got me, go get yourself a cookie.
I find his accent heavy but tolerable --- but I wanted to clarify, could you (or someone) give an example of a place where it was incomprehensible? (perhaps the place where you had to stop).

I'm not asking this in order to try to imply that it is perfect american english, but in order to better understand myself (maybe others perhaps) what could be improved.

Thanks!
Lots of ways to do it, wouldn't have to be linear time.

>for you to expect this

Oh, no, I wouldn't expect it to enforce a rule like that by default, but it would be a good thing to do when the behavior is so unpredictable.

>sharing the part you've already written and appending after that

You could require an immutable slice for that, in the situations where append is the most reasonable option.

Anyway I'm not trying to suggest this method. I'm just giving an example to support the idea that it could do something predictable.

How about if they hit a pedestrian? Here's a fun example from a cycling magazine:

http://road.cc/content/news/89218-us-cyclist-who-killed-pede...

(full disclosure, I walk or bike to work.)

No one pretends that drivers don't recklessly open doors endangering cyclists' lives. Or cut them off. Or engage in other dangerous behavior affecting ppl w/ bikes. It's tragic. But why do we have to pretend that the converse is not true? That cyclists' behavior is also often dangerous to themselves or others (i.e. pedestrians)!

We don't let pedestrians J-walk. We don't let cars run red lights. Why do two wheels get a free pass?

Everyone (I hope) tries to avoid cyclists. It's a human life; no nitpicking about rules and who is at fault changes the sacrosanct value of a human life. But a bike is not carte-blanche to do whatever you want.
That's an opinion, not a fact. Some people call it similar.
I didn't care about things when I was a kid which I do care about now. The difference is that I learnt that some things are "better" than others. And I only care about those things from a place of fear of being deprived of things which people with those things can seemingly get more easily. Some of it boils down to worrying and fretting about things which I don't, or maybe even can't, change. This has no root in rationality or pragmatism, so the usual arguments of having to care about such things because of adult responsibilities and problem fixing don't apply.

Another facet is that this caring is only a projection of what you think you will feel in the having, or not-having, of those things. But many people have experienced that being one of the richest people in the world (the Western middle class and higher) isn't necessarily the most fulfilling existence that there is. Comfortable, perhaps, but not necessarily more than that.
How can you enforce property rights and private contracts without a state? You have a contract with the richest person in the local area (aka the man with the largest army / aka the local warlord). How do you ensure he pays when he is liable to pay? Moreover, how do you ensure he doesn't just kidnap you, and force you to work for him for free?
> Mozilla is one of the good, independent orgs

So they say, but their actions, here, put them in with Google.

> If they remove third-party analytics from their web properties, Mozilla instantly loses valuable actionable insights that significantly increase their efficiency as an organization.

I disagree, and I fail to see what Mozilla needs from analytics badly enough to require them to partner with Google in such a privacy-robbing fashion.

> If Mozilla loses operational efficiency, Google/Microsoft becomes more powerful and are able to obtain more users for Chrome/IE. They use all analytics they need.

So Mozilla should feed Google more data?

> No meaningful privacy increase for users is achieved, Google Analytics is now installed on (billions - 1) websites.

You just said Google and Mozilla were in competition. Make up your mind.
You're right. I wasn't looking as carefully as you were. Sorry!
Regarding #1, increasing taxation on the rich is much more politically feasible than implementing basic income.

Regarding #2, economics is all about managing scarcity. What natural resource consumption specifically are you concerned about not being effectively controlled by pricing mechanisms? And it's the role of government to fix market failures when externalities are being ignored. Which are you concerned about?
A lexer for a language with a lot of keywords leads to a large representation as an automaton as the author has experienced. One way to deals with this is to only recognise in one rule all identifiers including keywords (something like "[a-z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*" and to use a hash table of keywords to check whether a match is a keyword (and which one) or an identifier .

Edit: fixed the regexp to allow for single-char identifiers.
We can’t stop there though, because the incomes received by these 8.2 million people create the jobs of others.

... going further, the income of wage earners is what creates demand for the goods being transported by the trucks. Once nobody can earn an income, there will be no need for trucks.
It takes a lot of deliberate mental practice to learn not to care about what others have or what they might think of you, and few people bother.

Yes. We teach children to brush their teeth to avoid cavities. Maybe we should also teach them to brush their minds to avoid anxiety.
So the interesting thing is that this particular article is specifically talking of that original Tomb Raider, and argues that the best puzzles were in fact non-essential and off to the side. The suggested reason is that they only discovered some of the more interesting parts of the design space late in development, and couldn't put them on the mainline of the game.
I would be interested to see a list of "successful use cases" of network science in the natural sciences. Are you claiming there are none as of yet?
No, charitable donations are deductions, which mean they are deducted from income. What is deducted directly from tax liability is credits, but charitable donations don't give 1:1 credits.

I've long wondered about whether adults really aren't wiser than children. Smarter, yes, but the wisdom might be largely a blob of limiting and pessimistic beliefs. And a very fragmented wisdom: adults argue and wage wars over the right ways to live. And if we aren't condemning others for their lifestyles and views on life, it might be because we are too busy trying to find our own purpose and path.

Does it really take a lifetime to gain wisdom about life? Or is it adults that unlearn the wisdom of childhood, and forever after that struggle to find wisdom in an adult paradigm which is fundamentally flawed?
No, it is completely fair to point out mistakes. I believe the OP's comment is valuable and was mainly responding to the final sentence of that comment. Sorry for poor wording and any confusion.

Just to clarify, this is a article written in 2013 on the original Tomb Raider, not an article on the game often called "Tomb Raider (2013)". Damn ambiguities :-)
> This information is merely interesting for some academic researches

It most definitely is not. It's the most important factor when choosing a spam filter.

False positives are extremely harmful (it can result in loss of communication, which is what you want to avoid the most). A significant amount of false positives is what would make the difference between useful or useless.

Nobody want to tell their users "check your spam mailbox, (the one with dozens of spam messages) for ham every once in a while)".
> Maybe we should also teach them to brush their minds to avoid anxiety.

Isn't it children that should be teaching us about that? :)
Reading? Reading what? Look at modern apps like, eg snapchat. What's to read? Snapchat has six icons on the screen. Which one do you tap to get to a help menu? The menu icon? No. The square thing? No. The snapchat ghost? No. Oh, actually, yes, because you also need to click the settings gear icon, and scroll down a whole page and select support.

There isn't anything to read.
I'm not dismissing the idea because of the unsound reasoning in lesser proponents. I'm opposed to the idea because it ignores how humans work - like any animal - on an incentive program. Your body needs water? Drink that glass, get hormones released for the good job! Much more so when we talk about high level activities. If you remove the incentive system from the social framework we live in, people will simply stop caring. Like a pothead stops caring about anything. His brain is showered in endorphenes on demand. Because of that, he has no motivation for anything else.

I mention the lesser proponents of the basic income idea, as you describe them, because I'm scared senseless from what a bunch of self-entitled, special little snowflakes can do.
I found your text quite comprehensible although I'm not a native English speaker.
Mode and median are not averages, just mean is.

No other way to put it; you are simply wrong. I could direct you to reference after reference, citation after citation, but it's clear from your other comments here that you're not willing to accept any reference or citation we make.
"Less government" is a bit of "optimizing for what you can measure": It's easy to see that fewer people work for the government, so the people left must not be as involved in invading privacy, right?

Except that doesn't follow. It's entirely possible to trim NASA, for example, and have less government, but NASA wasn't involved in phone-tapping. Trimming the EPA also won't solve any of the actual problems, and will create new ones.

So "less government" is a palatable dogma, maybe, but it's only loosely related to what we're trying to achieve.
Indeed. I was getting a few of dozen spam messages per week. Setting up spamd reduced that to less than a dozen per year.
Regrettably, 2015 is the years this seems to be ending, since I've already gotten about 8-10 spam messages this year (with the majority being this last month).

I'd counter that the definition of a consumer product is to trade a product with the consumer -- you provide something of value to them (the product), they provide something of value to you (the money).

I suppose the implication with addiction (and its analogies here) are that they provide a way to get something of value from the consumer (money) without providing them any value in return -- only the illusion of value. Its not to say that all addictive products are inherently value-less -- but that their perceived value is far greater than their actual value -- by design (with the perception being driven by addiction).

Your specific point -- that endorphin hit you get is a social reinforcement for a positive contribution to the community of Hacker News. Its not an addiction by design -- its using our internal wiring as it was intended (social contribution makes us feel happy)
Historically, concerns about "diversity of backgrounds", "well-rounded" candidates, and the even more nebulous "character" were code for the fear by the majority's elite of an overrepresented minority gaining entrance into that elite. In the time when these policies were first promulgated the target was Jews [1], but the strategies and motives seem not to have changed: the presence of enormous academic success among an immigrant minority group without high economic status is resented as somehow a "gaming" of the system that needs to be corrected by introducing subjective factors into the system.

Where this gets politically complicated is by the concurrent policies in favor of non-Asian minorities, but at least there the policies are quite explicit about their justifications (correcting historical disadvantage).

He talks a lot about the Chicago flag, but anyone who lives around DC knows that the DC flag enjoys the same level of appreciation by its residents. It's everywhere. The stars are often replaced with objects, such as a coffee cup. The flag is often remixed and deconstructed, but still instantly recognizable.

I'm not sure where he stands on the flag of Maryland, but you also see that a lot too. It's so outrageous and easy to identify.

Virginia? Not so much. Detailed seal on a blue field.

No, they are values that contain a pointer. Think of a struct that contains a pointer. Is that called a 'half-reference'? Take a look at this poor man's slice example using structs and pointers, does it make more sense now?

Well I can definitely count as being happy as a children, and quite often depressed as an adult. But material deprivation doesn't explain that, at all. As a child/teenager I could be happy just playing around (outside/legos/video games). Now I'm just like "what's the point?" or generally getting bored really fast about pretty much anything and just wondering about the meaninglessness of life.

That's not a problem for trucks, most of them don't go into the city centers anyway. And in any case, they can just drive themselves until they reach the city borders, then park themselves and wait for a human driver to pick them up. Instead of having hundreds of drivers on the roads, companies can just have a few on each endpoint.

But I think you overestimate the difficulty of dealing with other drivers. Remember that self-driving cars have essentially immediate reactions and much better awareness of their surroundings. You can avoid a lot of accidents when you can track every car around you, millisecond by millisecond.
> How can you enforce property rights and private contracts without a state?

By having a state you refuse to acknowledge is a state.

> the man with the largest army / aka the local warlord

See? This is a state. A local warlord capable of enforcing his laws over a given region is a state. A violent, corrupt, autocratic state, to be sure, but a state nonetheless.

Calling it something else doesn't make it anything else.

That's not been my experience - multiple lines nest quite nicely - but even when directly inlining isn't suitable (e.g. multiple if/else checks or rendering a list in a way which doesn't suit a straight .map()) I prefer creating another method and inlining the call to it, e.g. from my Hacker News API clone:

<ol className="Items__list" start={page.startIndex + 1}>
{this.renderItems(page.startIndex, page.endIndex)}
</ol>
Conspicuously absent in Bill Gross's "four types" theory at the first link is the Engineer -- the person (team) who actually creates the thing all the high-paid celebrities will hype/sell. All four types are essentially "business" people.
It depends on who's doing the coding. I've got some inlined loops that are ~20 lines long, and I think it works & looks better than assigning the loop to a variable before the render and inlining the variable.

Netflix and Spotify are irrelevant and useless in a world without copyright. They exist as a means to conveniently get media served over the internet. YouTube or Mega Video would be convenient if it weren't for DMCA takedowns, domain seizure and raids.
Yes, as long as you include punctuation in your definition of "word". I like to think of it like this:

A lexer takes a sequence of characters and produces a sequence of tokens. List in, list out. It just chunks runs of characters together.

A parser takes in a sequence of tokens and produces a tree. It produces a nested data structure from a flat input.
You're probably right!

I haven't been to the US, but my stereotypical picture is wide, sweeping grid like roads, which result in drivers going fast.

The UK isn't really like that especially in metro areas. In London the highway code plays second fiddle to a general 'be alert all the time and be courteous' type system.

I think that cycling properly (not just at the side forever) on roads where drivers aim to be hitting 40mph constantly is a dream, really. Too high a speed difference.

In inner London, though, likely you will be cycling 10-20mph while cars drive at 20-30mph. Is that not the case in NYC for example? Are your roads just too straight and easy to use so drivers gun it? (It's well known that narrow roads result in unconscious slowing).
