You can fight via protesting. That's not inciting violence. The BLM supporter in Chicago literally told people to loot and that looting was reparations:

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/aug/11/ariel-atkin...

Should she be arrested? Probably not, even though she was wrong and a terrible person for saying that.

The law is very specific when it comes to free speech. You need specific calls to violence and Trump did not come anywhere near close to that here.

He's asking people to fight because the courts have refused to even hear testimony. Texas brought a lawsuit and was dismissed in three sentences for not having standing, in the only court legally allowed to decide cases between states.

If you still deny any and all election irregularity after all the videos and all the dead people voting and all the questionable information, that is part of the problem. An entire nation watched their court systems refuse to even listen to any evidence. People have lost faith in the system.

And this very minor breaking into a building, causing less than 1/10 of the damage of any BLM riot, is blown up into some crazy "this is the end of democracy" bullshit. People have taken over American federal buildings several times in American history.

The regular peasants walked around the the sacred place of the rich and they're afraid. Also a woman got shot. She's not black so her life doesn't matter.
You might be thinking too small. The USD derives much of its value from the 'petrodollar' deal from the 1970s. Tesla is set to replace oil, so maybe the USD itself will be backed by Tesla.
Maybe you should go back and read the article that spawned this thread. Apple literally put engineering time + effort just to allow 3rd-party OSes to be run on their chip. That doesn't strike me as the move of a company that wants to lock down their OS.

You can disagree with the tradeoffs Apple decided to make in the name of security/privacy, fair enough. And you can certainly blame them for their mistakes (like not thinking to handle a case where their Developer ID verification servers were offline). But practically, these tradeoffs don't really hamper almost anyone's usage of the OS, and the few people for whom it does can disable them.
I agree with this. There's no way Musk or Bezos could liquidate all their shares and retain that value.

Best way to be worth $1m. Create a company with an idea, find an investor and sell 1% for $10,000 and on paper you're worth $990,000. That money doesn't exist, just the $10,000.
Trump wanted Pence to violate them constitution and overturn the election. When Pence refused he then went to an angry protest and told them to match the Capitol and fight like hell.

The then refused to deploy the National Guard to protect the Capitol and reportedly was thrilled at the fact that the certification was interrupted by the rioters.

After much pressure he finally put out a weak statement telling the rioters he loved them and they should go home, but the election was still a fraud.

What part of that fails to fall under encouraging an insurrection?
It's not lazy, it's highly interesting and people obviously love hearing about it, given how popular these stories are. Why care about liquidity? All of these hundred-billionaires can buy whatever they want anyway.
Nothing against Musk, but the specific notion that this proportion of value to wealth is "efficient" seems stupendously backwards. Though I agree that welfare is also not efficient, but only if the goal is solving the problem of suffering and poverty. However, welfare has a second, shorter term function: Necessity.
The comment applies to both paper and M1. It also applies to M3, although M3 is already way too broad for any useful inflation number, it is also too restrictive in different ways.

Inflation is a complicated concept.
You're right, I must have activated that toggle years ago and forgotten about it. Yes the SMS fallback could be painful if you're not paying attention.

I started with reflux but wanted something that was actual flux. So I ended up with

https://github.com/goatslacker/alt

which looks a bit like reflux in terms of terseness but it adds the ability to have snapshots and rollbacks, isomorphism, and it plays real well with ES6.

There's a few of the flux examples that compare flux to alt in the repo. And there are some good isomorphic examples in here https://github.com/goatslacker/iso/tree/master/examples

I'll be posting a write-up of all this pretty soon.

If you like reflux you'll like alt.
+1. There was that push for the Web Platform site[1], the fancy flashy unified source for web documentation, but I haven't gone back there since day 1... MDN has more content, more contributors, more love.

It's your typical IT position, just clearly defined. I have no intentions of applying (comfortable where I am, TYVM), but if I were looking for an IT position, I would not dismiss this one just for their honesty.
Thanks for all the replies. I am just researching all of this for my own startup and it is important to understand all the tradeoffs. And it is clear from your article that AWS has a very deep feature set. Its a good article!
Not sure about deep linking, but hotlinking protection is quite important if we want to enable people to self-host their content (pictures, videos, etc) instead of centralizing everything on Youtube and such.

I run a small forum which hosts photos uploaded by its users, and some guy (not even a member) decided to use one of them as his signature on another forum (orders of magnitude larger). He killed half of our monthly traffic cap in a couple of days, until I mod-rewrited hotlinked URLs to a disturbing image :D

EDIT: That said, a better anti-hotlinking mechanism, which wouldn't violate the user's privacy, would be to have a response header whitelisting the domains in which the resource could be embedded from. If someone were to hotlink an image, the browser would simply refuse to show it.
Yes, 5% of $0 is still $0.
Huh? All of the specifics he mentioned above aren't just magically sitting somewhere in a simple database query.

Your question needs to be handed off to someone so they can specifically research your situation and get back to you with the results.

It sounds like specifically in your case, their system allows the techs who take new cable signups to enter your data in the system, and then it will return weather your house is serviceable, not serviceable, and with what type of service options are available if you can in fact sign up. Doesn't sound like a very strenuous process from the customer side.

Making something that has moving parts and works is satisfying in itself. Using your intelligence to make that thing readable, maintainable and well organised is a bonus. Making tools to help other folk do this is a further bonus. As the quality of so many other jobs is in freefall, just about every developer job is to be cherished.

My mid-size (140) well-run company is as healthy a human environment as I'm likely to find. Toxic bicycle associations I've been part of, or sleepy public sector workplaces I've known, have helped set my expectations. So I've absolutely no problem that my company makes a wholesome profit for it's founders. I see a little bit of it, and I'd much rather be coding than doing what they do.

Developer culture, as it's matured, is fairly remarkable for it's openess and flatness, and I'm mostly very happy with the company of developers and their weird hobbies. More women would be nice.

Despite the predictions that it would all move to India, developers have been constantly in demand since I started doing this 25 years ago. It's let me travel and work wherever I want, and now it's going to let me work remotely so I can spend time with ageing parents on the other side of the world. WTF. I must have been very good in a past life.
You get one process that crashes about as often as Chrome, though it consumes fewer resources and is much faster to restart (by not loading tabs unless you go to them).

The increasing crashiness of Chrome was one of the reasons I stopped using it.
I didn't like this article at all. First - it states that putting insane pressure on people to work long hours is counter productive - and mandating week-end work leads to burn out.

The very next sentence then immediately says this:

"People who love their job and the company will work all the time anyway. If you’ve hired good fits, you’ll see this happen."

Uhh.. so you want to replace mandatory week-end over time, with an informal criteria where good fits work all the time anyway - thus if you don't work on the week-ends (of your own """choice""") you confirm you aren't a good fit?

Now, there's nothing wrong with working on week-ends when there's a deadline or an important milestone, but substituting explicit expectations with implicit ones is flat out horrendous and it means that you have to constantly read between the lines to find out exactly what you have to do.
The real question is whether that person can produce usable work output while they're learning. The framework that takes a year to learn because it's composed of 12 parts that would each take a month to master is still equivalent to the other framework that takes a month to master, because your employee can be producing useful work output within a month either way. If your 12-part framework is useless until fully mastered, then you should probably pick a different framework.

If that summary is accurate then it's even worse -- not only are Stripe and friends dead, but so are all the "hosted" solutions offered by banks. You literally can't run a web site and take card payments without either (a) building the entire site using some sort of marketplace or other compliant service, or (b) complying with exactly the kind of onerous PCI DSS burden that all those hosted payment pages and services like Stripe were designed to avoid.

As far as I can see, the only significant attack that this addresses is someone compromising your site and changing it to redirect to a malicious alternative instead of your real payment service. But since any fool can set up a site that looks the same, has a similar domain name, ranks about the same in Google, but is entirely fictitious and exists only to harvest cardholder data, and moreover following that strategy would be far easier than compromising a legitimate merchant's site in many cases, this is a poor attempt to mitigate a threat that is in practice impossible to avoid.

If this is really all true then I'm pretty sure PCI DSS just became irrelevant to most small on-line businesses. There's no commercially reasonable way for them to comply with those terms. There's no legal threat if they don't (at least not in most places; YMMV) so we're purely talking about financial liability here. And from a financial point of view, you might as well just accept that if you get a breach and card data leaks then your business will go bankrupt paying the fines whatever you do, so you can ignore the whole thing anyway. The only other meaningful sanction the card services have is refusing to allow the same company representatives to take card payments at other companies in the future, but if they would do that for this reason then probably you were never going to work with them again anyway.
Isn't it usually the case that someone "buys" a timeshare, in that they purchase a share of a place, and then get to use it for a certain amount of time per year?

If they're following the zipcar model, someone would pay a monthly fee for as long as they're interested in using the service and then would reserve a spot in whatever is available as they need it.

(Exactly) three months ago I quit my job to work full time in my game. I've yet to know how well It'll do. But maybe my input can help.

# Do. Then do it well.

I usually work like this:

1- Hack something as quickly as possible

2- See if it "works for the game"

- If it does, GOTO 3

- If not, abort and go do something else

3- Refactor, re-architect and polish

# Make it so that you can iterate FAST

Being able to change and test an element or a feature individually is crucial.

I have taken a data driven approach to some of the game elements. So I have a big JSON file with the data of monsters and moves. When iterating, I simply change values here, relaunch the game and check if I like the result. I also use this file for "design debugging", starting in a later level, making the character immortal, etc.

I'm using Godot, where each custom element can be a Scene. This means that if I, for example, create my special kind of button, this button is a Scene and I can run it on it's own.

I also have code that runs only when running as scene like this. I usually add buttons of keyboard input handlers to "simulate interactions" with the element.

# Everything is a prototype

Nothing is set is stone. Nothing is final. Everything is a prototype.

Many times, a new mechanic changes completely how the others feel. Don't be afraid to change previous elements to accommodate the new one.

The same applies to code. ATM I'm in my third "rewrite" of my game's Battle UI and UI logic. The new UI arrived[0] and it was somewhat different of the old one. I just create a new file named "NewBattleUI" and start copy pasting and changing stuff from the old one.

Don't get attached to anything.

# "Feel" is the objective

woko and yetihehe's shared talks explain this way better that I can:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26247832
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26248964

My game has a Pokemon-like battle system. After watching those talks I implements visual effects for the moves. They changed nothing for the "raw numerical gameplay" but totally changed the feel of battles.

# Post Scriptum

My game is called One Way Dungeon. It is a linear dungeon crawler with Pokemon-like battles.

fields in which women dominate tend to have lower pay

Fields where men dominate tend to have greater risk of death or injury on the job. 97% of deaths at work were men. Could it be that when averaged out safer jobs pay less?

This is amazing. I am surprised I never noticed this product before. I even tried to sleep with my Bose headset (this was unsuccessful as it's hard to sleep with those on.)

Have you tried it? Do you consider it would block the loud snoring of a large man?

The website says it's not active noise canceling but noise masking. My ear plugs are masking 38dB and the snoring makes it through. So I am worried that I would end up hearing heavy snoring with a musical background.
It makes sense to me that merge commits would "contain changes" (i.e. that a merge commit's tree would have content that is not in either parent's tree), otherwise how else would you represent the result of resolving merge conflicts?
It's especially funny because the M1 Mac SSDs seem to perform at around the same level as current competition from what I've seen.

I live in Japan right now where there is absolutely no tipping (not even "sometimes tipping" like in Europe) and the service is better than I've experienced anywhere else, including the US. And here it's not just limited to restaurants, even in shops you get service with amazing attention to detail (oh your bag looks heavy, here's a piece of foam to pad the handle...)
When you have a company the size of Amazon (100,000+ employees, thousands of engineers) I think its very dangerous to make sweeping generalizations about the culture based on one person's experience.
I don't know that this is really a controversial viewpoint.

Video is one of the worst ways to learn.
Anecdotally, think of times at high school when a teacher has put on a video: it's typically to distract the students so that the teacher can have some time out from interacting. It has a similar function to leaving a baby in front of The Happy Little Elves. It's better than having no stimulus, but no serious learning is expected from that.

Although the article says "Watching videos is not better (or worse) than sitting through lectures", I would even disagree with that. A good lecturer has the opportunity to gauge the audience and adjust their lecture depending on how many students are throwing paper aeroplanes (or looking lost). This just doesn't happen with video.
That's not why I started using Adblock. I started because the web became unusable on an older machine (5 years). The content wasn't any more sophisticated but it soaked up all the resources (CPU, RAM etc.) available. Imagine if you had a PDF reader that ran at 100% CPU and swapped all the time!
I agree. I see why they do it. But that doesn't mean some of the ideas aren't ridiculous all the same.
Have you spent any time at places like http://www.fanfiction.net/ ?

My wife is always saying that there are many authors on there that ought to focus on getting non-derivative work published (if they aren't already).

I imagine authors could use pseudonyms for their fundraising?
downvoters are B cash shills that need to do their research
I don't see how this proves anything, on a linear scale it's still much more expensive than BCH fees.
HF traders DO NOT lose money. They see the trading world a few milliseconds into the future. The whole game is rigged in a way where they cannot lose. They only lose if someone screws up, human error, all that.
ERCOT is just part of the GOP-designed grid that has refused to weatherize, even after multiple "100-year events" that happened inside 15-20 years. Now we're burying Texans because a few officials think this is what freedom looks like.

Did were those ERCOT's power plants or ERCOT's companies or was it even ERCOT's purview to tell them to weatherize? Of course not. Does ERCOT serve the same boss as Republicans and energy companies? Absolutely.

I hope that better explains why I hate ERCOT, lest you think everyone who has an opinion different than yours is a fool. I am used to that. Most people have no idea how little Texans care for GOP go-it-alone politics.
I'm surprised they didn't model it after the sonic screw driver[0] somehow. I think they would have had issues getting that LED grid to fin nicely on it. The design they went with looks rather straight forward and easy to make and assemble as well. Can't imagine aligning all the parts in a thin shaft would make assembly very easy.

Actually, I'm not really that surprised they didn't model it after the sonic screwdriver.

I’ve wanted to try post geese but have never really had a chance - everything I do is “prepackaged” and things like Wordpress or Confluence really don’t seem to care if it is MySQL or Postgres.
Really? Then why is it so hard to hire OSX developers that can code their way out of a paper bag?
As founder, I'd love to hear your thoughts, especially on making it more useful. My email's my username on gmail. I'm open tomorrow to call, just let me know contact info and time/timezone (I'm US/Eastern).

Thank you Aaron! Appreciate everything you taught us and the all the support you gave us even when times got really tough.
I'm with you! So since it's on us to measure our own sugar intake, we should use a similar process for feeds, right?

Do you have tips on if / how you manage feeds, if you do?

Short of the robot replacement, you are saying someone else has to do the dirty work I don't want to do but I should still get their produce.

The question is what happens when they don't want to work either - from where do we get potatoes?
The officer absolutely did something wrong. They intentionally abused copyright to prevent lawful free expression. They should be strung up on First Amendment charges, and the RIAA should come down hard.
I’m curious as to why you think it’s brilliant response?

Was it the lack of initiative to do simple google search on gut brain physiological connections? The common phrases gut feeling, gut check, gut intuition are related to the gut brain connection.

Was it the lack of insight into the hundreds of billions of dollars spent on prescription drug propaganda? Google how pharma company marketed Oxicontin, which was huge part of opioid addiction crisis.

Was it the lack of clarity in the scientific community reproducibility crisis? Especially in the drug development fields, where Big Pharma has big incentives to push through dangerous drugs on people? Please Google prescription drug called Vioxx.
Agree - most job postings I see call for experience with an ever-increasing number of disparate technologies. And full-stack web development necessitates it until you've grown the team to a large size.
That isn't one of the strips I was referring to, and that one is mid-period Watterson and not late-period Watterson anyway. But since my original post got the reception it did here, I am not going to dig through the archive to find the ones I meant.
