Quit then. Do what you want.

I keep wondering how articles make it up to the first page. This one, for example, an article hosted by substack. A service with terrible user interface, that tries to make you think that someone is doing you a favour for letting you read their literature without paying, whereas... the opposite is true.

The article itself is irrelevant but since I read it, I can tell that it is a classical nonsensical piece on the benefits of listening to children. The author lacks any formal qualification on teaching from what I could also find.

In other terms a complete time waster.

Does anyone find this interesting?

I respect Peter Norvig as a programmer and a problem solver. I've taken a course taught by him in the early mooc days that I really enjoyed.

What I don't understand how does something like that makes it to the top of Hacker News.

I used to visit HN to get smarter, lately I feel that I am getting dumber.

How is this low level exactly?

I am really not getting this. If you run Typescript on both ends, can't you just share the source code that defines the types?

If you think that users can setup-configure their dns servers then this feature (DOH) is completely useless.

I guess the point is valid for users that don't want / are not allowed / cannot configure the dns server of their operating system.

How hard can it be for Firefox to embed its own recursive resolver that talks only to the root servers? If you are really concerned about privacy that’s the only way to go. Other than that it makes little sense to me to trust one company over another.

This was superseded by Sonic Pi https://sonic-pi.net/.

The author has said that if he would do it in Erlang if he was starting again now.

Here's a talk with him and the late Joe Armstrong. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SUdnOUKGmo

That's a shitty solution. The whole point is to keep the website public.

What was the problem with the Ap

When a new designer joins Facebook, they go through several days of what’s called “Design Camp”

Maybe the author can also tell us why Facebook UI is so hostile to the end user.

I think his wife makes them.

I hope it gets to 0%.

There goes the myth that your data is safe with apple. All these vulnerabilities might have been already known to multiple parties before these people discovered them.

With the "trade war" going on I wouldn't be surprised if this was intentionally put out in order to reduce the us dependency on china.

I built http://www.pseudoglossa.gr/ (you need flash) a web interpreter, ide, debugger with cloud support around 10 years ago when such software was a rare commodity.

It contributed a lot in getting the students and the teachers in the lab to get some hands on experience with programming.

It also spawned the creation of other applications that embedded it and provided classroom management and automatic correction.

Although I am not a teacher anymore I keep it online and a lot of people still use it regularly. Even if you don't know english you can start programming in your native language at a young age.

Never got support from everyone though but it was fun and challenging to make it.

Everything from the editing component until the interpreter and the execution environment had to be made from scratch.

The code is in github https://github.com/sstergou/pseudoglossa.gr

This is another example of a corporation that's too greedy and dishonest. Apple is by no means the only one. I'm sure there are going to be many "fan boys" and girls or maybe marketeers that will try to justify this, but the fact remains that the company that manufactures and sells the most expensive device in the market and has 100% control over the hardware and software , is degrading its performance on purpose. The user has no knowledge of this (hence the lying) and doesn't have the option of replacing the battery in an easy way. Who tells me that this isn't part of a strategy so that the user will buy the newest and more expensive phone...

Nice idea but not executed to it's full potential.

I use an alarm for waking up. I expect a fast, usable ui to be able to set the time fast and options like recurring alarms,weekly scheduled alarms etc.

I wouldn't replace my vendor's slick, feature full without ads app for something that is not as least as good.

I'm a person that wanted to give them another chance and got my self a Lumia 930. They didn't deserve it. Sometimes I get the feeling they are incompetent.

That's very impressive. Do you have an example for http://todomvc.com/?

SBD. Stackoveflow Based Development. The art of copying and pasting.

I have been reading HN for more than 3 years. It is like an addiction. I have never felt smart enough to comment something but honestly, this is the worst piece of literature I have ever read.

The writer is just rambling on irrelevant stuff while trying to be smart and promote himself and his company.

It's not even good marketing.
