A good point. I like templates because they seem to require less transpilation, which makes the process of development easier overall. Thanks for the reply.


That's a very interesting perspective and it makes sense, especially if Do Not Track is optional and off by default.


This is a really cool application of research to describe something difficult to grok for the average user (myself included) but which really highlights the benefit of using an anonymized search engine with static results. It's like saying, "There's room for us both." But with real metrics and data.


It's the UI style.


Very cool idea. Something I would enjoy using is a shorthand syntax for validation rule object declarations eg:

new Validator = ({ age: 'int 22-48' });

If memory serves you can parse that type of string in the Validator constructor and insert the Rule structures you already have in place of it.


I can't make this possible becacuse if there are nested objects forgjs cant make the diference between a rule and a value


Only if you're good.


Can we stop drugging children and just give them a little more recess?


Agreed. The elephant in the room is that school is rather unnatural and modern kindergarten is overly structured and academic. [1,2]

Humans are just highly intelligent animals. Kids acting like animals when they are 5 years old is not unnatural.

I went to a Steiner school for kindergarden and the focus is completely on play and hands on outdoor activities. I have fond memories of messing around with hand drills in the playground!

Been tried. Like a couple hundred million times over, both in studies and by parents trying to figure out what do with an ADHD child.

It's not like parents aren't motivated to change their children's behavior to be more manageable...


When we sit children down to do low-grade, menial clerical tasks for eight hours a day with minimal breaks, what do we expect?


When we sit adults down to do low-grade, menial clerical tasks for eight hours a day with minimal breaks, what do we expect?


Adults who can perform knowledge work and have sufficient impulse control.

I believe that sitting children down for a couple of years, compulsory, is a strong factor in what we call civilization and the overall decrease in violence. You can think of it a bit like Zen's "just sitting" meditation practice, if you want.


I believe that's the guiding principal behind Creative Curriculum: https://www.creativecurriculum.net/

My kids' daycare has adopted it. It seems perfect for my daughter who seems self-driven, but maybe too open-ended for my son (who we pushed ahead..so far - mid-november bday with 10/31 cutoff).

Or maybe better: https://www.montessori.com/montessori-education/


I can't say that nobody gets some benefit from the drugs, but having grown up with some friends on them in elementary/middle school I can safely say it's a serious thing to be on, and it's not to be taken lightly.

EDIT: I'm talking about drugs like Ritalin.


Apple seems interested in keeping things fairly secure, is this a theoretical fear or an exploit I've never heard of?


Million?


Millenials are killing everything. Except the economy. Boomers killed that.


Please keep tedious generational flamewars off HN.


Don't forget environment. But they leave very nice government debt behind, so millenials have something to solve after they pay out their student ones and pay boomers pensions.


Or perhaps the Neoliberal policies that are hard at work dismantling all the social safety nets that gave people hope and encouraged them to take risk without fearing that failure implies total ruin.


Boomers made the economy grow incredibly and had some busts along the way. They got up and kept going. The boomers are the most creative and productive American generation period.

Millenials are still living with their (wealthy) boomer parents, delaying marriage and waiting for their boomer parents to die, whereupon the millenials will inherit their boomer parents' wealth. Unfortunately this will fail, b/c millenials have neither a work ethic nor a saving ethic. In the end, they'll spend their parents money and the US economy will flat-line.


It's a real shame that boomers weren't creative or intelligent enough to prevent issues related to automobiles and climate change. It's also a shame they didn't come up with a decent fix for Social Security that will only benefit their generation and no one after.


Don't forget to go take your meds, Grandpa.


Actually, we're one of the most financially paranoid generations in history. Thanks for that by the way.


Please keep tedious generational flamewars off HN.


Gonna need a citation on that one there, philo
