I definitely wouldn't say it's common (and was a huge 'don't go there' in my family). However, I have seen some families where the parents aren't around as much or aren't responsible for discipline or structure, and this definitely does happen. It really depends on the parent child relationship, since that word would get grounding/timeout/huge reaction in my family, whereas the parents I've seen this happen to either get sullen or are aghast at their child.

To be clear, I'm not suggesting that laying hands on them would fix things. But there's usually a lack of someone being there who can send them to their room or give them any kind of punishment for their poor decisions/actions.


Wish I could help with the studies, but if you're interested in more anecdotes, I can help there.

Your #1 and #3 definitely work, especially in harmony, but I have found that I do well with songs in langauages that I don't know at all but I like the general style. For example, when I need enegry and work, I listen to Rammstein or The Pillows (Japanese). If I need to relax a bit and work, Seeed (german reggae) or something french are my go to. There's a lot more and sometimes I just put on a Spotify international playlist. The randomness and lack of understandable lyrics helps me, as long as I don't try to learn what they are saying.


From my understanding and my own desires, I think the previous comment is looking for a site that will offer a list of book links on HN with parameters to filter/sort the books. That way you can find "most mentioned books in the last year" or "highest karma book links for the last month".


I think the comment your replying to is saying that, if you have the passion/desire/drive to become a doctor, having a basic income can help that person get there. Especially so that they don't have to work as much while also going through rigorous schooling.

In addition, those jobs would still be good jobs on top of the UBI. Depending on how the implementation of robots plays out, they may be the only jobs if you wanted to make more than the living wage.


As a practicing Catholic and computer science major, TAOCP and his other book, "3:16 Bible Texts Illuminated", stand side-by-side on my bookshelf.

The former needs no introduction here, but the latter is a 268 page analysis of chapter 3 verse 16 of each book in the Bible. Definitely recommend it for anyone interested in the Bible and a fan of his other works.


I appreciate knowing how to do this, but I don't think booting into safe mode and deleting an exe counts as being "allowed" to disable scanning. It's a workaround, but definitely not a solution from MS.


Out of curiosity, what do you think is outdated about the languages? What does Python fix about the languages, especially in the cast of text editors?


Correct me if I'm wrong, but can't extensions for vim 7.3+ be built in python (as long as vim is built with python support)?


I believe he's trying to say that he doesn't want results tailored to him at all. For example, if I were republican, I'd tend to get anti-abortion material when searching.

He seems to be saying that he'd be okay with typing in his city name to get local results in exchange for not having any personalization. In other words, it's beyond local vs non-local.


Are problems like these actually asked during job interviews?

I don't mean that this isn't a good topic, just that I always imagined that interview questions would be harder to solve and that they wouldn't ask for contrived solutions (solutions that aren't obvious and could lead to bugs for new coders, while not being better in many other ways).


Hi Ryankey721, yes, it does get asked. Interviews are funny, some time you get theoretical non relevant question, some time easy one like this, and very rarely relevant coding exercise.


I kind of like the mixed bag that Hacker News seems to be.

I'm pretty new here, but I enjoy reading about the future of programming languages alongside posts about Marcus Aurelius' writings. It just seems that it's mostly content about being the best you that you can be and having a broad range of knowledge.


Do you think the recent "Inappropriate comments at Pycon 2013 called out" thread contributed to that mixed bag in a good way?

I worded that carefully. I don't want to draw out sides on that thread topic, just whether it contributed to an educational atmosphere and meaningful discussion on HN.


I think it's a discussion that needs to take place. I am not sure HN is the place to do it, but where else?


It's a necessary discussion insofar as it was major news and will have a non-trivial effect on how gender-identity is interpreted and argued within the community.


Agreed, I love the diversity which is why I continue reading HN.

I like a good balance of topics, keeps things interesting (and more importantly, continues to get me interested in other subjects / topics).


I feel like the role of diversity is better served by a place like reddit.
