Based on our experience when young we expect motivation to come without explicit effort. That doesn't work anymore for most adults. I find that explicitly imaging successful completion of a task, especially the resulting pleasure, is

Among us old programmers, clever was a scornful word. I still believe that clever programing is the result of an emotionally immature attitude. I don't care how clever someone is. It's showing off and gets in the way of reliabi

I believe that America itself has become a hateful society. HN just reflects what we Americans have become. It has become so bad that I tend to avoid social contact anymore.

It's hard to find the results. How much of this is paying for feature bloat?

Fighting Apple over "freedom of speech" would be a huge loss for Republicans. Apple has the moral high ground. It could tag Republicans as giving support for child molesting, human trafficking, and all the other horrible ways un

Two can play that game. Apple has put lots of resources into designing a better car, possibly a self-driving car. Previously, building a car was a huge undertaking that dwarfed anything Apple had done. I think Apple backed away from build

Big privacy issue here. I looked at the Apple App Store page for this and found that they collect considerable personal information. This information is linked to you. It is not anonymous. The Preview page, on the other hand, does not m

I was mostly thinking about the corrosive power of water when it is extremely hot and contains dissolved minerals as this water will. I doubt very much that you could actually reuse the water. Protecting the equipment, disposing the heat,

Geothermal is not an easy solution. Just drilling deep enough doesn't begin to address the environmental and engineering issues involve. Perhaps these issues will be resolved. I hope so.

If you don't know what macho means, don't use the word. See Argentine culture. Boy's and men's self-respect has been under an unrelenting assault from those who want to coerce their masculine identity to conform to naiv

I wonder what these selfish unprincipled people will decide is "superior"?

HN is whatever its users make it. It evolves according to the user community's perceived needs and interests. Attempts to define it one way or another (and often coerce conformity) are dysfunctional and pathological. If you don&#x27

The purpose of an abstract is to present the results, not to promise them in the body of the paper. In addition, that makes a post look like click-bait.

I guess this resolves the issue of the intelligence of a well know public figure.

The quake occurred in an area of seismic activity associated with petroleum extraction. That looks like the most likely explanation. The lower part of the Rio Grande Rift broadens considerably.

Wooden structures are often excellent choices for earthquake country. They flex in an earthquake and often return to their original configuration. Masonry, including concrete, is extremely vulnerable to earthquakes. Well engineered concre

This seems to lie within the Rio Grande Rift, a plate tectonic feature dividing the mountainous West from the more stable parts of eastern America. Clusters of earthquakes can precede a larger earthquake or indicate the motion of lava at d

I don't feel that these arguments are compelling. In fact, they diverge from the history of the macintosh interface, and they would diminish the Mac Presence. The Mac Presence is what makes the Mac admired by so many around the world

I've been programming for over 50 years. If I judge by the past (not necessarily a reliable choice), languages are not that important. They come, and they go. I believe that you'd do well if you could demonstrate that you can eas

The problem is not the hardware nor the software. The problem is that anyone with the motivation and money can destroy the reputation of the system with fake news. It doesn't matter if it truly is unhackable.
