A detailed list with the exact amount of all ingredients and the original recipe (with all technical details) that was used to produce the food.

That would be a big step in the right direction, similar to the open source free software movement.

All food treatments should be more regulated and some marketing terms banned. There is already a common misuse of terms like e.g. "gluten-free" to market even products that cannot contain gluten in anyway - it's just a PR vehicle on purpose. Processing milk products to remove lactose just to broaden the market value of products should be evaluated by the government and natural un-processed products favored.
Very sad to hear about your friend.

Suicide is one of the most common causes of deaths for young men. Overall, 1-2 people per 100 will die by suicide.

Here is a new large epidemiology study which found that people who used psychedelics had lower rate of suicidal thoughts and suicide attempt:

It's important to take a statistical perspective when talking about risk.
The STL is a product developed and maintained by SGI. If you look at the containers listed in the article and on the SGI page, you will see a different set than is present in the C++ standard library, especially if you discount the containers that weren't in the C++ standard library when the article was written.

Now, people often refer to the C++ standard library as the STL, but the author of the article was clearly confusing the STL itself with the standard library, not just the name.
I was surprised that only two thirds of people ever experience deva vu. I experience it a couple of times a week and usually say something when I do if someone is around. Nobody ever mentioned that they didn't know what it felt like. Perhaps it's time for a poll.
But it's easier to make business believe it's just a hard problem instead of incompetent people in charge of the solution.
>Only if you want to live where everybody else wants to live.

There is no such place where everyone wants to live. SF is desirable to only a very small percentage of the population. Yet it has some of the highest housing costs in the world. All it takes is an imbalance of supply for the demand. If there are only two houses available in a location that 200 people are interested in, they are going to go for very high prices regardless of what the rest of the world thinks of them.
I think some of it also comes from a lower barrier to entry in many cases - the cost of supplying a small business (such as a coffee shop) has been lowered dramatically in recent years by technological advances in the supply chain, i.e. better tracking of coffee beans, more efficient delivery, etc.
Here are few signs that you should look for while search for such a job:

1. Glassdoor reviews mentions 'good work like balance'.

2. The hiring manager (the position you applied for) is 12+ years in the same organization.

3. The organization has at least 10K+ employees.

4. The organization recently had a merger/takeover by another big corp.

5. The team (for which you are being interviewed) does not have a CI/CD pipeline.

6. The product is inherently on-premise deployable software i.e. has to be deployed on the customer's machine and cannot be a SaaS. Ex: Datacenter monitoring/automation software.

7. The product has multi month/quarter release cycle.

8. The organization does not follow 360 degree review i.e. does not collect feedback from all the team members during yearly performance review but its mostly about the manager's comments.
Yeah that's the kind of hand waving problems away that I kind feared. I'm not sure you've got the perspective to really understand what some folks are dealing with in life if you can just so easily hand wave so many things.

Seems simple to me, a container element should always have opening and closing tags. An element that will never contain anything is self-closing.

But I admit, I suppose it could only be simple to me.
Remember that it's much simpler to find a job when you already have one. The theory being that if you have no job, you might not be worth hiring.

Moreover, say you're over 30, have been working for a Perl shop for a while, and the market only has Rails and Node.JS offers, you'll need to learn, publish stuff on Github, and write a couple blog posts to be barely make it to the eyes of recruiters. Add to this that unless you were lucky enough not to work on CRUD apps all day, you will have to brush up a bit on algorithms and data structures, because everyone and his dog modeled their interview process on the one Google has. Now you can start to interview. I remind you that more and more companies also cargo cult the time Google takes to select candidates, because everyone wants the "top 1%", so you might want to prepare for a bunch of interviews.

Count a couple months for the whole thing, double this if you are not in (or can't move to) a hot spot or if you're over 40.

6 months is not unnecessarily careful, unless you're a rockstar (in which case 6 months of emergency funds represent about only 2 months of your salary), or very connected person, that's probably just what's needed.

I do know that not all companies work this way, but if we compare the average developer salaries to the amount of cash necessary to build a 6 months emergency fund, I believe this advice is sane to give to people in general.

The fix is to buy US keyboards and configure a compose key for non-a-z characters.
This is a wonderful idea. Children (and adults) learn best by doing. There's such a big difference between watching some tv show and making an actual experiment to see structures invisible to the naked eye. I know I would have been psyched to see atoms as a kid.
You're wrong about the pronunciation. It's exactly the same, and not pronounced coke at all. Signed a native french speaker.
Dead keys are particularly fun, as it takes two key presses to produce a result. Accessibility of keyboards/layout could indeed be improved. I switched to custom US layout, because of too many issues with a non-US layout. My custom layout uses AltGr combinations to add a few local characters. It is a bit clumsy, but at least keyboard shortcuts work most of the time.
Their lock-in amounts to “be more appealing in some ways”.

Is there anything you couldn’t replace switching from your platform of choice to a different one? I have a lot of 3rd party software it would be difficult to replace and it would be a quality of life hit, but software is software, I could replace what they do with something else if I was forced to.
That is frequently very nice, because if something breaks or requirements change in code you wrote you will usually be the one who has to make the update -- if lines of code you wrote are removed, that means less code you have to worry about maintaining later.

Of course, the niceness only holds if your code is being removed because it is no longer needed. Having your code removed because it doesn't work properly and is being replaced with code that does work properly is not a nice feeling.
> I try to keep it simple but now im peaking into the node/react ecosystem and I feel all over the place.

If you want to keep things simple you should probably stay away from modern frontend web dev.

Or, if you must do web, start with vanilla HTML, CSS and ES2015+. A solid understanding of the basics will always be valuable, and you can always build upon that knowledge when you reach the pain points that node, webpack, React etc help you solve.

I don't have a citation, but I used this analogy in 1999 for terminal server as a replacement for desktops.

Y2K was pushing people to dump whole networks. Rather than upgrade people were just buying all new, but losing data on the machines was a huge scary thing. And migration tools sucked at the time.

http://www.cdstoledo.com/ where I was working at the time, under my direction started to role out commodity computers. Computers that used Hardware Compatibility list components, and were supplemented with Terminal services to allow important data to always be backed up "in the cloud".

When a computer "died" or had an issue, we could just swap the hardware. No local files were needed as everything was on the server as either part of the Terminal Services, or a Roaming Profile. We could then fix the computer at the shop quickly.

It had highs and lows. At the time it meant better service at a lower price. But that meant less money for the company. We could offset this to some degree, but the reliability was so high that in many cases we ended up with support contracts that wouldn't get renewed because the hardware never needed support.

I can't claim that I invented the analogy. I think someone at Microsoft told it to me when they pitched terminal services to me. Or maybe I pitched it to them, being a farm boy as I was.

In any event it is an analogy that is 15 years old at minimum.

The reason is that that Joulies, or anything else you put inside the system, displaces coffee out to a larger surface of interaction with the outside system. All other things being equal (basically, with a lid), it cancels out.

Without a lid, convection is primary over any other factor, and the entire system will tend to reach equilibrium at about the same rate.

Unless you a) add heat or b) reduce the rate of heat transfer at a surface, you cannot slow thermodynamic equlibrium.
And yet, when I actually lived it, it felt more like a kind of personal hell.

I have done two eight day meditation retreats in complete silence (except for a short conversation with the mediation teacher once a day). The first time, after about one day, I was 100% sure I was going to give up that day. I missed sounds, listening to music, social interactions, etc. and ended up in a circle that slowly turned into hell (as you described).

After that day, during my daily conversation, I told my teacher that I couldn't bear it anymore and was going to leave. He kind and jokingly fashion said (I am paraphrasing): "we'll prepare the refund". Somehow that clicked and I realised that my mind had been running in circles, magnifying emotions of boredness and craving step by step. After that I had an excellent retreat, understanding a tiny bit better how the mind works.

We are social beings and social contacts are essential. However, silence can also help us every now and then.

At some point we need to stop the hypocrisy, recognize that SciHub is too valuable to the community to be shut down, and fix laws so that it becomes either legal or useless. That's no easy task, but it's much better than having scientists from all over the world rely on it while simultaneously pretending they are dangerous criminals.

I think so – it covers the fundamentals. Numbers, Algebra, Functions. Not exactly in depth, but if you've done high school math you should quickly remember and be able to get to the fun stuff.
It's a good point. With many domains... the more deeply you know something, the more you know about the grimy details, and the likelihood of unfettered love for that thing is reduced.
I'm not the OP, but here's my interpretation:

1) The woman is the cream in your typical Oreo display of "diversity".

2) The men are in business casual attire (i.e. a button down shirts/polos), the woman is wearing a fair amount of makeup and jewelry, and what appears to be a dress blouse. Could be easily explained away as this particular founder's usual method of dress (or the nature of her business), but it's a notable exception in the three photos.

3) They couldn't have picked someone who qualified as an "immigrant" who looked more stereotypically "native". This is not directly related to the sexism argument, but as a result she seems to have been carefully picked to fit in the image and give a point of reference.
Thinking of modern browsers as just document viewers is silly. They're built to be extremely capable javascript runtimes.

Buzzfeed is mentioned in Full-Stack Startup.
It says in the article that he was told to get the doses in arms by any method necessary. His method seemed entirely reasonable.

A lot of this "it was policy" argument fails when Harris County failed to produce evidence of said policy and its instruction.
Yes it gets better, and the 'fsc' (Fast Scala Compiler) does improve on the situation somewhat; but I've always found it annoyingly slow. It should be mentioned that I haven't looked very hard at that language in many years for that very reason; so things could have improved somewhat. And from what I understand, the next version of Scala (Dotty) is going address this issue (build speed).

It sounds like not wasting the limited vaccine was actual policy (possibly unofficial policy, but the message he was receiving).

And this would be the right policy. It's absolutely correct to get vaccines into people before the expire, so long as you hav correctly exhausted all means available to you of finding the right people.

The issue is that the states haven't made it easy for providers to find the right people when you have six hours remaining to use a vaccine.
I've kind of gone to django with the built-in admin for this use-case.

I am not the one who set the "expelled from society" standard. My point was that it was dramatic. If you are truly interested in a healthy "larger discussion" you'll hopefully agree that turning down the rhetorical temperature makes it easy to have a good discussion that gets at the truth.

Of course, given that you've decided to spend multiple paragraphs in a personal fantasy building a very poor straw man of me and my views, I think that a good discussion is not really your goal here.

You just stepped into an argument between an enormous corporation that imposes extremely long and draconian terms on their closed system they control and others who use pretty mild legal terms to keep their work in the public commons, and you called the loose bunch of community folks "Stasi".
Colleges are sort of, shall we say, circumspect about the value of the degrees they issue. They charge the same no matter what your major is, and most do not publish per-major salary studies. That is part of the mystique -- "clearly an education in English is worth as much as a degree in anything else, look, the English professors even say so!" (Substitute your favorite or least favorite degree for English.)

A few of the departments in the engineering school at WashU published their own starting salary study -- using the Internets to get in touch with recent grads -- which did not endear them to other departments at the university. That was an amazingly useful piece of information for me when graduating, and helped me to avoid an offer of employment at substantially below the "going rate". (Then I became a salaryman. Education can't save everyone. sigh ;) )
But those stocks' rises pale in comparison to the rises of some of the aforementioned securities - particularly Tesla.

BioNTech/Moderna are poised to income streams of billions of $ through guaranteed sales, with the very real possibility of more to come if either revaccination is necessary or there are more applications for the mRNA technology.

You suggested the question seems naive, but you’ve also listed plenty of good answers to “why aren’t you coding?”

I’m not sure you can attribute naivety to a simple question like this, and I don’t think it’s necessary. It’s just a question. It’s prompted some interesting responses in this thread.

I thought it was great but took me back to 30 years ago when magazines in the mail were the thing. I think I prefer the modern situation where at least you can go to sites like HN which are relatively non commercially biased. Back then there wasn't so much unbiased stuff available - maybe BBC programs and library books.

>Only a wishy-washy equivocating, journalist can write, "everything about the new system appears to be working and it's making the lives of all better but is it really a good thing."

The "making people dependent on the state" argument is also the standard conservative critique of things like unemployment benefit, so it's an argument that an awful lot of people seem to agree with. I expect that is why the author reaches for it so easily (I'm not necessarily saying that the author is a conservative, just that it's a popular way of thinking about these types of issues, hence why the author offers it as 'balance').
Well, that's absolutely blown my mind -thank you.

Malcom Gladwell's Outsiders book basically covers this topic. Usually the ones who do best are the ones with an early head start.
One example that I remember is that oldest kids in class are usually the biggest, that (generally) makes them better at sport early in life. That leads to extra coaching for sports teams, more practice and the effect snowballs.

I got inspired by your calculation to fact check the article's claim of the 2.2mm see level rise.
They apparently base this on the reported melting of 600 Billion tons of ice as stated in the article.

600 Billion (metric?) ton = 600000 Billion kg (or liter water)
= 600 km3

This doesn't quite add up. I wonder where they got the 2.2 mm from ..
everyone has that one thing that they don't want to give up to help reduce emissions. I'll admit for me it's fast cars. for a lot of people on HN, it seems to be that they don't want to sacrifice travel or visiting that distant family member. I've seen people go so far as to argue that the holistic benefit of seeing other places is worth the cost in emissions.

I suspect if emissions were priced into air travel, we would start to see a lot of businesses realizing that video can replace a lot of in-person meetings. we might also see people start to place more value in living close to the people they care about.
How about https://www.netlify.com? Recently had to teach a non-tech person how to host a website from scratch. With all the non-trivial requirements (dns, vps, web server), I thought it would be easiest to just use netlify. That way, a git push on the repo will deploy the site immediately.
