It's really cool to see the natural borders of countries in much higher contrast than a regular elevation map. Especially the Alps walling off Northern-Italy from the rest of the continent and the way the Carpathian basin is surrounded by terrain that made it hard to invade. Makes sense that it was such a heavily contested area around the 9th century.

Well in that case I sure hope you're not planning on wearing one of those t-shirts...

Roughly anywhere between 5 and 25 micrograms. There's a very thin line between "i'm feeling good and i can get work done" and "that nail in the wall sure looks interesting, lets investigate its origins" as you approach the upper bound of that.

If they're not interested, just keep them in the loop. Show them some of the cool stuff people build every once in a while or just tell them they can automate their math homework with a simple console app. I'm pretty sure the prospects not having to do my homework by hand would've made me sit down and code instead.

Picking a handle.

It looks like one of the walls is a sheet of glass.

I don't know whether it has anything to do with being left-handed, but I used to mirror-write notes whenever I was bored in class and didn't find it difficult with the exception of letters that required me to lift the pen off the paper and that went away with some practice.

Sorry, I assumed you were already familiar with electrode.

As detaro says, it's for web apps, not desktop ones. Afaik its mostly boilerplate for node+react.

Electron is a cross-platform desktop framework based on a web stack.

These are servers, so you most likely won't get a GUI.

Might as well close down all bars, airports, concert venues and any public transportation. Just imagine how many deaths we could prevent.

>I don't advocate for imprisoning users. But we should punish manufacturers, traffickers, and dealers harshly.

It should be obvious by now that this method doesn't work and we can't just erase the habit of using recreational drugs from human history.

Humanity is a species obsessed with experimentation and exploration. We take mind-altering substances for a wide variety of reasons. Solving problems, winding down at the end of the day, trying to get a boost of creativity, having a spiritual experience or just getting fucked up for the sake of it.

If the lawmakers really have our best interest in mind, they should concentrate on education, harm reduction and making sure the drugs people consume do not contain any other, potentially very dangerous substances.

We don't need our governments to protect us from ourselves. We need them to make sure these substances are clean, people are aware of the risks and that they have somewhere to go if they need help.

That's a very specific problem.

Time is a flat circle.

Sounds like you picked the wrong tool tbh

I'm not a fan of the 12 inch Macbook but you knew it only had one port and no active cooling when you bought it.

It's not like it suddenly lost a bunch of ports and throttling under load is not really unexpected either.

Yea, I didn't wanna be a dick by mentioning it but scrolling down to that after reading the article just confused me even more about what the author would define as "good UI".

I count at least 2 unnecessary textures, 4(or 5?) different fonts and a color palette that makes no sense to me.

I know some people are enraged about how many "generic 3-column flat UI" websites there are, but give me one of those any time instead of something that can't make a decision over what unnecessary decorations to use around a button that's already cluttered with a background texture and 3d effect.

I have to disagree with the author. I understand his frustration with some of the icon choices(Photos, Game center, etc.) but most of the things he's grieving for are just tacky. The leopard pattern on the OSX box and the overly cluttered illustration with the galaxy background, glassy surfaced "X", icons and lens flare would look especially stupid in 2016.

I'm glad they removed all the silly shadows, 3d effects and animations and defined more strict UI guidelines.

I don't need my OS to look like a Christmas tree.

Give this article[1] a chance if you have the time.

>Also, the OP recommends AngularJS for "Experienced developers and coders", while React is for "Casual developers and designers"

Yea, I'd like the author to explain why.

It's the opposite for me. I didn't remember turning anything off and the only data it had was some location data from times I was using GPS on my phone.

Apparently I turned all of their tracking off at some point and forgot about it.

They also have ads and an app and/or PS plugin they're selling for $19.

"The only restriction is that identifiable people may not appear in a bad light or in a way that they may find offensive, unless they give their consent."

I agree. Pedestrian zones that are closed off to regular traffic are very common in Europe and they're awesome.

They also boost the traffic the surrounding businesses get and make it easier for cafés and restaurants to add a terrace area.

Well-executed pedestrian zones are one of the easiest and most effective ways of making a street more liveable in my opinion.

Edit: Also, (preferably one-way)streets where the sidewalk-to-road ratio is a lot higher than usual. Case in point[1]

That would heavily favor the high-income voters though.

High traffic due to HN, probably.

http://tabletopaudio.com/ 's soundpad feature does a similar thing.

I don't think it's a question of necessity, it's just more convenient and usually a lot less code than doing the same thing without it.

Another very minor thing is that when I click anywhere inside the section below the header, a light-grey border shows up.

Riot does the same, they have a public beta environment(PBE) where they deploy new patches.
