Cypress appears to have more features dedicated specifically to making testing easier, such as a user interface and various debugging additions and integrations into various other tools.

Playwright is just an API for controlling the browser, and appears to be far more powerful in that regard.

Compare the api documentation, and it's not even close:

I think the whistleblower and a lot of people here are noticing that there are inherent conflicts of interest that are easily misdirected and subverted by the due process involved in making these institutional conflicts.

So yes, the whistleblower messed up as of course the proper chain of command looked into it and found no legal issue, because the legalese version of ethics was met.

This is different from whether the law needs to be revisited.

This is also different from whether the people with the financial conflict have a noble goal.

Many people with political influence believe in their goals. Some benefit more people, others dont.
I don't think people really mean savings accounts when talking about saving money consistently instead of spending it as an adult. Same goes for compound interest. Regardless, even just putting it in a savings account surely is not "burning your money" if the alternative, spending it directly, brings little utility.
Key takeaways:

1. One of the best ways to improve your writing is to learn how to cut out words that are not necessary

2. Stuffy writing is bad writing! It lowers the power of your brain and mine!

3. What words should you never use in writing? Words whose exact meanings you don’t know! Never use a word unless you know EXACTLY what it means

4. If your writing is nonsense, maybe your thoughts are nonsense too!

5. To keep things clear and readable: Put the main point of each paragraph in its first sentence

6. Pretend you’re writing a textbook! That’s how I ended up writing so many books...Organizing knowledge Learning is a lot like writing a book

7. I often write the introduction last, after I know what it will introduce!

8. Never draw the reader’s eye to anything that is not the main point
XMPP/Jabber explored it pretty well. And for a glorious few months, I could use a FLOSS client (with for me far superior UX to any other modern client) to talk to people on Facebook and GTalk as well as all proper Jabber servers.
Waaat? How much is gym membership in the US then if $40 is much cheaper?

Edit: Thanks everybody for the explanation. In my head, gym == myself + good ol' iron. It seems that that is cheap in the US as well as in Europe :)
There’s https://github.com/jhipster/prettier-java, which expands Prettier to work with Java, but I’m not sure how complete or thoroughly-tested it is. It also requires that you have Node installed, which could be be a downside for people who only work with Java.
AIDS? Legionnaire's disease? People forget the panic these caused until they were understood.

In addition, we have had some horrible flus over the years. 1994(ish) and 1977(ish) stick out in my mind.

Anyone who says: "Oh, it's just a nasty flu" has never had a bad flu. I can't imagine being more sick than being stuck in bed for two solid weeks not wanting to move because it hurts so bad but you have to make yourself some food and then choke it down only to throw it up.

And Covid-19 is WORSE THAT THAT! Holy hell, people, I'd do ANYTHING to avoid that.
not bad-looking for gtk?
Can confirm for Hamburg being an exception in the north, the holidays there are often called skiing holidays because people will travel to Austria, Switzerland and Italy for skiing. I live in the greater metropolitan region and still have family in the city, and they've mentioned that everybody that they know in quarantine is so because they've returned from Austria or Italy.
For the US that critical column as been way out of date (just from what I knew of one hospital vs what it was reporting for the country several days after; I don't know if it is still far out of date).
For context, the highest unemployment rate was during the Great Depression, 24.9%. The methodology likely has changed since then but it's still sobering to think we might soon be in that territory. Hopefully this will be shorter lived and not have a great war as a catalyst for ending.
This feature (end-to-end encrypted sync) is huge for privacy, and nobody knows about it. It's never mentioned when people talk about privacy issues in browsers. It seems like people don't actually care to do slightly inconvenient things that will improve their privacy, they just like to be outraged about it on the internet.
Haha that's awesome, I do the same thing. Though I just wind up typing "mysql" instead of "myself" or "mysqlf". I type the word "mysql" much more frequently than "myself" that the muscle memory takes over on the keyboard. Glad to see I'm not alone. :D
Thanks for your inputs, really appreciated it :)

I think so, there are more and more crappy videos, but the thing is, Meerkat and Periscope are used by very influential people in the tech industry, which probably one of the reasons why more and more people is using it and the teams also raise a lot of cash to continue with the business development.

Let's see how these will go, probably going to be huge ;)
Who created the car if the hardware came from manufacturer, internal displays and sensors from a bunch of outside suppliers, and software to manage it all from Google?
Sitting in an office with the door open to welcome impromptu conversation is very different from, and much preferable to, sitting in an open floor plan with no privacy whatsoever. Hamming's essay doesn't redeem the open plan at all.

Generally accepted does not equate to the one true way, and in fact, when people generally accept something to be the only truth they usually turn out to be wrong. Economic theory being as contested as it is, and how demonstrably inefficient current economic theories have been at lifting people out of poverty, I would not be surprised if history will regard the statement of “trade is one of the best ways to relieve poverty” to be a failure.

And even if the statement is true, this statement might not hold with international trade as it does with local trade. Perhaps if local populations were allowed to trade freely among them self would be a superior option, then if the rich west were constantly under bidding and under paying.

To take an example. Angola trades a lot with rich countries (particularly with China), yet Angola has one of the worst dictatorships in Southern Africa, and has one of the poorest working class. International trade does not seem to be helping in that case.
Hi yorwba!

I appreciate your feedback even my website is not in English. That's what I was looking for.
Oh, absolutely. In fact I proposed an effort and wrote up a few prototypes to bring those things into ARM codebase while I was there.

IDK if any of it ever went anywhere though, as I left the team shortly thereafter.
Isn't Alphabet X somewhat similar?
Now imagine if you could do that without having to “use a throwaway card to sign up, and use it only when I need to sign in/restore account”
I got free Stellar Lumens from Keybase at some point.

I looked at the value on a whim - they're worth 700€ now. Traded them for BTC and I'm happy :)
A lot of the press has been talking about how they'll be taking on Intel and AMD but that's just because those are the only server chip makers their readers are familiar with. Don't take it literally.
It would be more feasible to just hack industrial controls or the power company rather than create some worm for a specific router and hope that you can find the 50k powerwalls.
How so? I took 3-4 DSP classes in university and none of them seemed particularly earth shattering. I think statistics and mathematic notation are a lot harder for students to work with. That said, information theory, which I would not consider a DSP course, was the hardest class I took. It requires mathematician’s math. None of that easy engineering math.
Why would it involve city law to charge market rate for parking at this particular development?
I mean, it’s still the 2nd largest market. I wasn’t trying to make any claims, just pointing out the US market is indeed the largest market by a large margin.
Funny the only other languages for page look chinese and a variant.
Finding inner motivation to do things other people find preposterous, tedious or uninspiring is the key. One should be driven by sincere curiosity. I don't know if I share PG's parenting strategy on "leave the generalism for someone else" - I think school does a crap job of general education, by dividing and labeling everything and implying it's covered ground.
I can't stop thinking about applied fun theory to card game mechanics. I'm building a card game where you never leave the flow state. (I know there's been a lot of cash grab card games recently. I just genuinely enjoy card games.)

Specifically this question -

Why is soccer more widely played than checkers?

Physical Mastery - repetitive exploration of real world ball physics encourages a sense of mastery. Checkers doesn't have this. I've built a physics sim into the card game to replicate this sense of building mastery through exploring the physics system to win.

Mental Mastery - Both soccer players and checker players make choices that feel fun and meaningful. When trying to dribble around an opponent, they have multiple options they must chose (right or left, fakeout). The player must have a model of what their opponent might do and react based on that. Updating their model is a sense of mental mastery that can be rewarding and contribute to flow.

Real Time - Soccer doesn't have turns. In checkers, waiting for the opponent can break the flow state if you already know your move. The demo allows players to play cards in real time. The catch is - when you run out of cards in hand you loose.

Accessibility - People can just pick up a ball shaped object and ball. I built a demo in WebGL so people can just hop in.

Simplicity of Rules and Depth of Choices - Instead of having a convoluted health system, the amount of cards in your hand are your health. This makes picking up the game easy, there's just one rule to keep in mind. This allows for a variety of fun choices because each card you play lowers your health. This creates a fun risk reward system with no additional rules.

The other idea is to use the existing physics system that players are already familiar with. That way there's no tutorial - players already know how cards handle and drop in real life.

Similarly (though sort of in the opposite direction), I was shocked to see that 32% of respondents reported that "Premarital sex is wrong"

I would have expected about half of that, at most.

"From the annals of 'nothing to see here,' China’s largest state physics lab is insisting it’s not helping a private company build a time machine. The strange happenings are straight out of the scientist version of TMZ, with a leaked PowerPoint presentation and gossip swirling.

So: Is the Chinese government collaborating with a startup in order to travel through time? [...]"
So, you're saying: CTFEs, concepts and ranges done right. Hmm. Sounds good, actually...
But how can I be expected to work with or engage with you when your first approach to me is trolling? That on its face suggests that we can't have a good-faith discussion.

If you say something I don't like, I won't be sure I can say "I don't like that" without being accused of being censorious, etc.
But what says those people will live within Austin city limits (ba dum tiss) and pay property taxes to the government that gave out the tax break?

Surely a sizeable number would commute?

Also, collecting new property taxes from a corporation would allow the city to keep rates lower for residents.
Inflation is only "controlled" for some baskets of goods.

If your basket of goods consists of salty snacks and consumer electronics, then yes, inflation is controlled.

But if your basket of goods consists of Hamptons real estate and fine art, then your inflation rate feels a lot steeper.

Investors are finding it very difficult to discover investments that don't depreciate with respect to that second basket of goods.

That's why institutions, family offices and high net worth individuals are shifting single-digit percentage allocations into Bitcoin.
Most of the time the argument is "if we spend less on military and more on education it would solve X". So I disagree. The people I get into a discussion with on education funding always seems to think the USA spends less than other first world countries.
I think there's room for both things, and we don't really have to (passive-agressively) squabble about which is better.

cats-effect is a meta-abstraction _and_ a concrete implementation of that abstraction. All of its functionality is abstract over the effect type, which for a lot of library use cases is good! (for example, this enables using ZIO with c-e ecosystem libraries; if c-e took the same tactic as ZIO then this wouldn't be possible)

When you get down to the application level, though – essentially the effect type is going to be fixed. I doesn't _have_ to be, but it takes superhuman levels of discipline not to make it that way. And ZIO is built for that – if the effect type is fixed to ZIO, it grants a lot of ergonomic benefits. So, ZIO ecosystem components are built with that in mind, and give a lot of ergonomics and higher-level semantics that aren't possible with c-e (or abstract effect types).

If cats-effect split the meta-abstraction and the implementation into two libraries, I think this debate would be moot. But, having the implementation together with the meta-abstraction makes cats-effect more likely to leak the latter into the former (I think it's gotten a lot better about this lately, though).

Anyway, just saying – both libraries are great, and they're different, and nobody should be made to feel bad about using either one of them.
Dabbled in it in college. 20 years ago as an online editor.

At time I hadn’t yet formed strong opinions about left or right politics.

I was shocked when dealing with an advisor a major paper on the tone changed to running hit pieces, then “moving on” when complaints came in.

Basically anything that happened before current day was supposed to be forgotten or dismissed.

Always moving forward with no responsibility.

Our old advisor came back and it went to more normal pieces.

These days most news articles are more hit/propaganda pieces.
So long as you stay in the lines you are encouraged to hurt people as much as possible.

Since you already have googled "X-ray pin-down" what details are missing?
And there are a lot more NFT-capable proof-of-stake cryptocurrencies out there than just Ethereum.
That’s such a fascinating background to have! It must be strange to retire and, far from the cliché of your skills having been made obsolete and irrelevant, instead you’re an expert on what’s probably the forefront of modern technology.

If you can spare a moment to answer: is there any knowledge from the 80s neural net ‘summer’ which you think has been forgotten now? As someone who’s concerned by both poor performance and overfitting (strongly correlated), I thought it was a shame that lots of the research around pruning (optimal brain damage, optimal brain surgeon, etc) has been forgotten[0].

[0] It feels to me as though the ML community has convinced itself - in defiance of information theory - that highly overparameterised models are totally OK, and can even successfully extrapolate with greater than random accuracy in the general case (‘double descent’). I worry that lots of these models are effectively succeeding only at interpolation problems, and only by virtue of the massive hardware advances that let us memorise the entire training set in these enormous models - basically Runge’s phenomenon writ large. People seem to be convincing themselves of magical things that are not mathematically sound.

Do you understand how little DSP is involved in writing a DAW? It has almost nothing to do with DSP and everything to do with application architecture, data management, threading and more.
I don't know what coding jobs you've had by mine have all been > than 75% writing code, reading code, reviewing code, talking about what code we should write, talking about how to organize the code, supervising someone else writing code, etc...

There is the part where you talk to someone to figure out what you need to code. And that parts important but defense wasn't taught at my university.

to learn & investigate, communicate

I did not take a learning and investigation course in my CS program, not did I take a communication course.

design systems

Are there good books that teach you how to design systems in general? How to build a good chat app, vs EMR app vs a good embedded code is completely different. So every book or article I've seen on design is so abstract to be useless, or very focused on a subdomain.

Not to mention a background in OS

Honestly this hasn't really ever come in handy. I'm sure someone can come up with a time or too it was helpful but I'd trade all my knowledge about OS's for better understanding of CSS.

database

Learned a little about databases from a 6 month course but equal or less than amount my friend learned from a boot camp.

programming languages

I had experience with a bunch of esoteric languages like Haskell, lisp, but I didn't know any language well. We didnt learn anything about JavaScript.

Things he learned that I didn't, how to use an ORM, how to build a web application, how to use libraries and frameworks, how to use ruby on rails, JavaScript, react, css.

Overall we learned a similar amount of useful stuff, but he did it in 4 months for 10k and it took me 4 years and 100k.

Why is it a mistake to view them as job applications? Maybe you want to take out 100k in debt to just learn interesting things about computers, but i did it because i wanted a career.
Some do. And those that do know what they signed up for and behave accordingly.

It's like walking along a rail line. When traffic does show up you stay well out of its way.
Yeah, I absolutely agree. It really isn't about the laundry list, but how the parts come together to form a whole.

But I understand that, to many, it still sounds handwavy and nondescript. The Doom comparison is great; I'll keep that in my pocket.
The term "pulling up the ladder" has always been interesting to me, since even though there's a continuous tradeoff between the priorities of incumbents and newcomers (in any domain), it tends to be cast in very concrete and black-and-white terms in any debate where it's used (at least as far as I've seen).

For instance, single-family homeowners voting to keep their areas single-family zoned are cast as "pulling up the ladder". This is fair: incumbents are trying to keep newcomers from changing the things they prioritize.

One could make a similar case for public lands, though: why is it fair that residents of a city should allocate huge tracts of land for public parks, when that land could otherwise be used to build dense housing and make the city more affordable for newcomers? It feels strange, but this seems like the same tradeoff: incumbents enjoy the presence of parks, so they prioritize them over the potential needs of newcomers (more affordable housing).

Or at a more global level, we could make a similar (very controversial) case for climate change regulation: the current rich-world countries built up their economies largely on the back of environmentally damaging practices. Now that we're developed, though, there is a large push for global regulation of climate policy, punishing polluting countries. This is because the incumbent rich countries prioritize a solution to global warming over the desires of some (though certainly not all) developing economies looking to grow rich through the same environmentally-damaging practices we used.

The phrase "pulling up the ladder" feels like it's always used to illustrate the greed or selfishness of those who want to deny others the privileges they had. It's very clear, though, that there are some cases where we're totally fine with "pulling up the ladder" when it's the things that we ourselves prioritize (in this example, public parks over affordable housing, or climate-change prevention over economic development).
Just replace MacGyver with MacGruber. Problem solved.
I have had a few requests like this over the years. My answer is always "You have my permission to do anything you need to do. I can formalize that in a contract if you require it. What can I do to make this most easy for you?"

(The last time it happened, it was an American state's educational standards committee wanting to write me into their standards document. Why on earth would I say no to that?)

This is Ryan Damico from crocodoc (YC Winter 2010), an online app for marking up and reviewing PDF files (as well as other document types). One of the reasons we started crocodoc is that Adobe's tools for working with PDF files (including Reader) are way behind the times (e.g. slow, desktop based, difficult to collaborate).

That said, crocodoc is still early in development and has some kinks of its own we're working on, but we think there's a lot of room for innovation in this space. Would love to hear any feedback!

I found the rest of the irreverent tone funny too. I also found the joke that alludes to domestic violence funny.
The biggest problem with JWT is there is no revocation mechanism which IMHO is a non-starter. Introducing revocation mechanisms generally means introducing central state and now you're back to why not just use a session token? Not to mention the numerous issues JWT has had over the years.
Thank you! Still waiting for takers, though, so it must not be very effective.
