Answer from the writer: Let's allow as many refugees as possible and give them free stuff. That will stop terrorism. Should this garbage even be on HN?

Not a huge fan of the NYT but this is pretty cool!

Is there any online game for this like shown in the video?

I would agree and my use of the term University is not necessarily meant to be used in that traditional sense. What I believe is that there should be an alternative to Universities that could focus more on that aspect and present you with a 4 year degree.

I guarantee if you created a tech school that focuses strictly on tech related classes for 4 years compared to a University that you would produce higher quality students than you would from schools that spend half of your college teaching you things that are not directly related to your job.

I'm sorry but reason isnt taught in college its taught with experience. I know many people who have reason, empathy, and everything else without having to be taught. It's part of your upbringing not taught in college.

I believe most people would benefit from learning the skills they need for a job rather than learning about China because rarely will a tech job require your vast knowledge of Chinese history. They want to know whether or not you can push code that the business needs.

I understand your point and I am not saying that these classes are useless. But at the end of the day colleges are there to produce for jobs and my point being is that if you had more time on tech related classes than classes you don't need then you would most certainly be more ready for a job.

When I went to college there were so many classes I really didnt need. Regardless of if they were "good" for me it was a waste of my time because I didn't care nor need that information. I took classes in sociology, macro and micro economics, accounting 1 and accounting 2 and so on and so on.

Did these classes help me in some way? Yes I would say so but what if I took an extra 5 classes honing skills related to the job I was going to seek after college. Can you really sit here and say that those 5 classes are better off? I don't think so.

For 2D games, GameMaker is good but has its own scripting language but the language is very similar to javascript.

Wait what? If you went to school today and learned java i bet in 4 years java is still around. I bet 4 years C# still around. and I bet in 4 year C++ is still around. What kind of world are you living in? You are saying that taking 60 hours of non tech related classes are more beneficial than taking that many hours dedicated to actually putting those skills to work?

Also you realize that learning a programming language can translate into other programming languages right?

I'm sure all the gender studies classes has helped the vast majority of tech students become better developers

Thats complete and utter nonsense.

I would agree with this but its not going to happen by 2030 thats for sure. Its going to take a lot longer.

Universities need to start focusing on skills instead of general education. Imagine the amount of skills you could learn if you didn't have to take 60 hours of nonsense credits and focus on skills you require.

Programming / Networking / Hardware need a new type of University that is similar to Trade colleges but focus primarily on the skills and nothing more. The first 1-2 years could focus on the foundations while the next 2 years focus around solid design principles and actually developing projects (real or fake).

Why are there so many articles talking about "white" silicon valley. Why does the left always make everything about race?

This is one of the reasons I use Drupal. It is bloated a bit but the CRUD system is out of the box easy. You can add properties to entites on the fly without code, then turn it into an API system in a matter of minutes.

I seen a commercial advertising googles "home" device and was a cringeworthy moment. The partner to the NSA, the SJW brigade is now trying to have me purchase something that sits in my home and reminds me of what a pathetic corporation it has become. No thanks.

Why would this be the case if they stated Asians and other minorities have not been affected? Black and Latino names are way more common in the US than Asians / Indians. Are you saying that silicon valley will hire every other minority besides black and latinos?

- there has been no evidence of collusion between trump and the kremlin. And unless they find hard evidence then he can't be impeached

- the Facebook ads show divine America. Russian ads included black lives matter, Hillary Clinton, and many left leaning targets. This wasn't an attempt to elect one candidate or another it was an attempt to divide

- James comey leaked classified material to appoint a special prosecutor as he self admitted. He also perjured himself by lying to congress about deciding not to prosecute Hillary Clinton months before she was even interviewed. Congress now has two witnesses coming forward to prove this

This is one of many things falling apart. They won't pin trump on anything and worse case Manafort will fry and that's it

I welcome the onslaught of Zuckerburg in politics. He will get chewed up and spit out as he openly advocates for illegal immigration amnesty, universal basic income, and whatever else the socialist utopians envision. He will get raked over the coals with these ideologies in the states he has to win (Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Florida). That is assuming the Clinton Machine doesn't destroy him first. He's way out of his league here and better stick to Facebook.

Bottom line is people will need websites and most people want to develop them in a way that is easy. You are talking all these languages that are overkill for websites and patterns that most web developers wont even use. Functional programming, really in web dev? If you start thinking like that then before you figure out the latest and greatest design pattern you will end up using someone in wordpress has finished the website. Companies are in the product shipping business, not the hipster coding business.

Just use a templating system like Twig

I tried out Hacklang a bit and I really enjoyed it. However I could not get xdebug or any type of debugging to work with it. Also the lack of an editor on the calibre of PHPStorm (atom is not great at all) made me give up. I am just hoping for PHP7 to move in the right direction.

According to this. Scroll down and you can see the post says INTERNET FATTIES something or other. Unless im missing the context it seems pretty ridiculous.

You realize that the offending post was making a remark about a fat person, not terrorism.

Im assuming you are ok with shutting down twitter, facebook, and other social media platforms for allowing far left and extreme islamic terrorist ideologies?

You are spot on. They are trying to do it behind the scenes at this point, but as the culture war continues to shift to the right winning they will go full blown. My theory is it will start with google, facebook, and twitter. This is why its more important to get these alternative media up before its too late.

I would probably because this site isn't the safe space you were hoping for. People have differing opinions.

Im assuming you are an adult. And as adults we both know exactly what they are doing. Regardless gab should find somewhere else to host their registry and move on.

When you can't defeat someone in a debate, silence them.

They aren't against it, they are against the incompetent government that will oversee it.

Does this happen before or after we pay the 20 trillion in debt we are?

I'm running out of things that the progressives want the government to pay for without any logic and mathematics behind it:

1.) College 2.) Healthcare 3.) Abortion 4.) UBI

Why not just throw the entire enchilada out there and just have them pay for everything? If giving people money allows for economic growth, then wouldn't it make sense to just give everyone unlimited amount of money. Why stop at X when you can go for Y.
