This just sounds like an advertisement for a partial virus checker software, most virus checkers now have browser plugins that do something like this. Why this gets 120 upvotes here is not obvious to me.
That already exists in the form of minimum wage + an economy that isnt bad. Going to that extra step to say that government should provide the job itself is just an admittance of failure that the economy is so bad that there are no good jobs and the gov has failed to provide an environment for them to be created.
Isn't the societal benefit received by public works a key component of the parent's proposal? I don't see how the jobs outlined would be accomplished profitably by a private entity.
I find most tv shows targetted at children to be weird and bad for children, they show adults behaving in an infantized way. This subliminally teaches children that this kind of childish behavior is appropiate even as an adult. It shows that caring about whatever papa baba bear on his little adventure circus is still something you could concievably care about as an adult. You may think children dont make that connection but brains are specifically wired to understand what is and isnt okay to do and to mimick adults.
By that logic, kids have been taught that adults are out to kidnap, kill, and otherwise cause mayhem and the only way to stop them is fearless children, preferably one that talks to animals.
It's fine being careful but this argument devolves all too often into some kind of religious nature worship. We are the dominant species on this planet. Animals and plant life - nature - have to conform to our wishes. Not the other way around.
I agree, more or less, but I believe that the "We can't possibly predict the effects of this therefore we can't take the risk" argument demands more urgent opposition. I argue that we can predict the effects. They're tiny even in absolute terms, and the uncertainty is well-understood and also small. And in relative terms - These small risks and effects are weighed against a half-million lives per year. I'd be willing to release kudzu or rabbits to save that many lives; eliminating mosquitoes has such insignificant risk relative to its benefit that that risk doesn't even register. Do it now.
I'd say the life form that dominates this planet are single cellular organisms, i.e., mostly bacteria. They have run this place for billions of years, deciding who gets to stay in symbiosis with them or not and most likely will continue to do so for a few billion more, long after mammals and similar life forms will have disappeared again. They inhabit the entire biosphere, at least 1km below and up to 50km above earth, filling every cubic meter with millions and often billions of them. They can "communicate" (evolve their latest genetic modifications) across the whole planet in a matter of weeks for particularly mission-critical mutations. Every other life-form just passes by.
The only reason we are the dominant species is because we have resources and ecosystems that can support us. The dominant species won't be so dominant anymore when ecosystems collapse.
Is there no source map support? Also: I have to set up requirejs myself to make Reason code work in the browser?
Not only that, it doesnt seem like the whole "each file is a module" system is actually codified in the output. I see no require calls that would indicate the right loading order for my generated .js files.
Generated code has weird comments in it like /* Facebook / and / Instagram */
I dont know what to tell you, I'm using the simplest possible project here. It just doesnt seem to pick up anything other than the entry.re file. I initially only had the non-webpack default compilation set up, which does compile all .re files but has the problem that the modules dont get loaded / no idea which order should be loaded.
So naturally I set up webpack but now it only watches the entry.re file for some reason.
And saying that the output js corresponds 1-1 with reason is really not true at all, especially when compiled into one big module with webpack.
I think it only watches one of your files because the other one isn't actually referenced by any code in the pathway of your entry point. If you reference some code from your other file, it will be picked up as well.
Yes, I forgot about bundling, sorry, but if you are in debug mode you're not minifying the bundle JS anyway so whatever you're looking at should still look a fair bit like the input Reason, especially because the names are only minimally mangled.
the bs-loader is definitely broken somehow, it only picks up the entry .re file and not any of the other files, I even tried the example from the bs-loader (which is still reason 2 btw)
Are you not setting this up as a website? I was really hoping that this would turn out as an announcement to be an aggregator of an aggregator.
Personally I dont understand either why Apple news and 'Why is X down' links dont get banned, these are the most obvious offenders. I was just about to make a list of posts on the top page that I personally wouldnt allow on a serious hackernews site and I stopped because it would include almost every single link and at that point I feel like I'm just grandstanding.
The number one rule that I would have for news that I dont want to read is that if this is some political decision, I dont want to hear it. Politics change all the time, it's messy, it's opinionated and frankly populated by stupid people with stupid commentators. Absolutely no value gets generated by reading some post about how solar power is now 20% more affordable in Florida or how France just banned Monsanto crop nr. 4 or how country X wants independence. These daily occurences will happen over the course of thousands of years, I dont care.
You would have to keep reading and following that particular industry/country in a research-like capacity to be up to date at all.
Other rules are of course any kind of 'do this to be a better programmer' post. Look I heard it all, I dont need to hear it for the next 30 years too, this is all too similar to politics and they are always blatantly opinion pieces instead of objective looks at the landscape.
This somewhat makes sense if you use HN primarily and exclusively as an aggregator. I, and I'm sure many others, also make very heavy use of HN as a discussion board, and in that respect the submitted article is more like a loose word association used to start a discussion. If the submission is titled "Blue is better than purple." but has 300 point and 100 comments, I might take a look regardless of the stupid topic. For all I know, I might encounter some neuroscientists talking shop in the comments.
I also don't particularly care for more Apple news, or some political rant, but the discussions that sometimes follow these can be extremely interesting, and enough so that I would regret their disappearance.
Yes, I think the social factors are underestimated. I actually believe that most people by default would prefer to interact with a robot rather than with another human. Humans have different speeds, moods, knowledge and expertise. When you shop, you dont do it to have a social experience, you do it to get a very specific job done and in my opinion this makes humans a variable that is desireable to be removed.
500 million? Wow. Can't they just lay down a big pipe and decrease the water level that way? Seems to me like just about any solution would be cheaper than 500 million...
I dont know why anyone would buy this unless the pen drawing experience is a lot better than on the Surface Pro and Ipad Pro and you're primarily an artist.
The Surface Pro has a real OS with Windows on it, I'm sure somebody will hack the Pixelbook to allow Linux but it will probably have a bunch of stuff removed and unsupported then.
It makes zero sense to buy this locked down device for 1k as far as I'm concerned.
Speak for yourself. A lot of members in this community, myself included, find being locked to a Windows workstation for any task to be a misfeature and a defect. Option are good! I'm not sure if the Pixel is a particularly attractive option, but I'll welcome any new competition that can help dissolve the Microsoft lock-in problem.
That's the problem though: ChromeOS is also a 'shitty operating system'; so too is iOS.
I'd like a tablet like this which just let me run plain old Debian. Sure, the window managers and apps probably don't support touchscreens terribly well right now (certainly StumpWM won't), but … that'll change over time.
It runs Android Apps. There are lots and lots of Android apps.
Among them is "Termux," which lets me run C++, Python, Node.JS, git, Subversion, Emacs, Vi... Without rooting or anything. So, yes, there's a bunch of stuff you can't do, but it's pretty nice.
