Not to be dismissive of your idea, but isn't this decade(s) old? QT Creator, Dreamweaver, Wordpress, etc... All are in some form a "drag-n-drop code gen" tool. Could you elaborate …

Representation is a convoluted thing to talk about, let alone "measure". Many factors influence how many of $group enroll in a course, and with gender there are many, one of the ma…

It would be useful to calculate the percentage difference between n_group/n_population and n_group_course/n_course. This would essentially calculate a "representivity" score for th…

To obtain plastic, you need oil, which often requires removal of entire swathes of the biosphere. Funny how just one step can fool people like that.

To be honest, there is a virtue signalling aspect to all this, it's pretty obvious that companies exploit this to increase sales. In my very honest opinion, does anybody with a bit…

a good developer would do a simple *ngIf and do a toggle on either using or . Call it "olde time mode".

What this is about is the increasing financialisation of the world's economy, in other worsds, consumers don't buy a "fridge" and own a fridge and have dominion over it (classical …

It would be very interesting to know how bridge metrics (length, load specification, etc.) relate the longevity. Of course, some bridges last for centuries, but some last for decad…

I'm going to get penalised for this but I have to say it because I presume no-one else will: Why the hell is this on HN? It has nothing directly related to anything to do with HN, …

> sleepwalk into oblivion Tell that to the Egyptians, Romans, Easter-Islanders (debated now, actually), and the countless other human civilisations who didn't really appreciate the…

War on cancer has been...not completely a fail? Certainly made harder by profiteering, but, y'know. Also, I find "War on poverty" hilarious. Like a country saying it's "making crim…

Hard to say. I don't think there will be a well-defined turning point. The thing is, the climate changes on long scales, and humans only pay attention to the immediate details, lik…

> As non american, I’d love to know more about this kind of business with China, and how it relates to the US government political choices. Why the US looks so scared by China, if …

I'm curious how that connection to a sat net works with a normal consumer laptop. Or do you have some fancy General Dyn laptop?

You forgot to use BlockchainVRAI.JS framework to orchastrate this together.

How else is someone with an MBA going to make their qualification look like it means something? It's similar to marketing in many large companies for example, anyone will tell you …

I'm thinking of how the particularly douchebag-y programmer titled their git commit for that feature. When coding this kind of crap, shouldn't people realise what they're doing?

Now that...would be ironic.

Oh wow thank you! I have wondered for years where it has come from. I love the following sentence: "...wondrous fruits of the earth and valiant warriors grow not from the same soil…

I sometimes think if the barbarians of the 4th and 5th Century are like today's people who adopt Amish principles, and the rest of the population as 4th and 5th Century Romans. The…

Even as a ~20-30 year old, libraries and them acting as community "hubs" seems so foreign already. Part of me worries about the growing individualist and transactional nature of ou…

You are right, should of maybe included "if so". But still, surprising someone would think covering up SEO shitlording with such a thin veil would fool anybody. From the other comm…

Parent comment is why I tell everyone to read Pragmatic Programmer, especially the "broken-window theory" section. For those unaware, an empty house can go untouched for decades in…

Of course, I was talking about being suppliers to rushes/"fads", i.e. the industries/sectors that appear out of nowhere for fordubious reasons and with ill-thought, i.e. wars, cali…
