That's exactly how Bootstrap's classes for lists work. And they are tied to the DOM structure, though not necessarily to particular elements: .my-list has to go on a container element, and .my-list__item has to go onto children of that element.

The point I was trying to make was that at a component level, your CSS classes are usually going to depend on a particular hierarchy in the DOM elements that the classes are applied to, or they won't work correctly. How much of a dependency you have is a tradeoff; you can design your framework to minimize the dependency, but you're likely to create a more complicated framework in exchange.
NG is more efficient than the Bitcoin-type blockchain, while maintaining its security properties. Any currency running on a blockchain can therefore benefit from it.

Lightning network allows for off-chain transactions, so it's separate and complementary.

Dietary supplements marketed for weight loss and energy, however, do not have to carry such a label. Under a 1994 federal law that has been widely criticized by health authorities, supplements are considered safe until proved otherwise. Unlike prescription drugs, they do not have to be approved by the F.D.A. before they are sold to consumers, nor are they required to list major side effects.

This has always been a problem with supplements - there is no requirement to disclose content, nor verify effects. This is the first time the down-side risks have been quantified.

I thought it has been known for years that the US govt uses drones to execute military and assassination targets. And the public has no insight into how these decisions are made.

This may reveal internal details, but I don't know how different from what the world has known for years?
If you've ever worked for or with a government entity, you'd find that saving time or money isn't a priority. In fact, departments try to spend as much as their budget as possible for fear they won't get as much next year.
You're right. I should have said "With screen color, you have only one choice of finish, and that's whatever the user's monitor happens to have".

Fascinating piece of long form journalism. There's no gotcha, big reveal at the end. And because it was so thorough and balanced throughout, that didn't take away from the effect.

Often I've said "You typically hear about criminals who get caught, not the ones who got away" because there doesn't seem to be a good case for glamorizing successful crime...but wow. Terrible loss of life. Looking for answers is in our nature - as this story shows, we can go to great lengths. There's no guarantee we'll ever find out though.
Less inhumane != humane

As for grey areas, is it more humane to kill 1 to prevent them from killing 10? Or 2? Or 10,000,000? Two things that should not be spoken of categorically are war and humane/inhumane, they are routinely defined by their grey areas.
And because they stop in target bodys and walls and hopefully doesn't hurt people hiding behind.

iPhone 6s+ vs. Galaxy Note 5: Real world performance test (it’s not even close)
Its a great solution! I'd use dictionaries for faster lookups though.

But not exactly pure JSON. Client-side, you need to attach methods (or getters) that fetch the user object to the comment. I suppose you could just attach get(reference) that takes this[reference + '_id'] and looks it up inside the `result[reference]`. m:n relations will be harder though.

Otherwise you can't e.g. simply pass each comment to e.g.a react "Comment" component that renders it. You would also have to pass the user list (dictionary) to it.
I've never understood why there isn't a "meta-package manager" that gives you one OS-and-platform-neutral CLI tool for invoking whatever the most relevant package management tooling would be, and then polyfills in the differences.

At a base level, I want to just not have to care whether I need to "brew install", "gem install", or "npm install -g" something: just give me one namespace and put everything I need in it once. If the tool could do just that, I'd be sold.

However, I can't see why there couldn't be a more-complex namespace-mapping database, such that I could e.g. export an installed-above-baseline package-list from Ubuntu and import it into OSX, or Windows+Cygwin, to get equivalent effects. I wouldn't need the same versions of anything, necessarily; just the same commands and libraries.
Or the portrayal of Minnesotans in Fargo. I'm not sure that you're required to talk about every portrayal everywhere before complaining about any specific portrayal, though, so it's probably irrelevant.

How to accurately track your work time
Shocking as it may seem, parking meters and rules may not always exist only for the benefit of citizens, as one would hope. It seems that parking meters and rules are there also for the benefit of the city and its bureaucracy, which gets to collect substantial revenues from a monopoly business day in and day out. It's a great business for cities!
Agreed entirely; drone strikes are called "signature strikes" much of the time specifically because of how unified their political and tactical appendages are.

Sure, the swipe of the pen or an "okay, go for it" is a few steps divorced from lasing the missile yourself, but it's part of the same causal chain, and that is how responsibility should be assigned.
This seems prescient as I will be starting a new job as a tech lead in a week, and I actually considered making the same Ask HN post! Same tech stack, no less, although it's for 2-3 medium-sized projects, not a single large, complex one.

>2) Is it essential to any group of people?

Over the air TV is used by the Emergency Broadcast System to alert residents of natural disaters and inclement weather. For low-income families, this is essential. The town I'm from was hit by a tornado in 2005. The NOAA weather radio transmitter did not work properly, leaving only OTA broadcasts to alert residents of dangerous areas like mobile homes.

I haven't "moved" yet (which is to say most of my data isn't synced, except for what I keep in Mercurial repositories, code, configs and notes) - but at the top of my shortlist (mainly for convenient access on mobile devices) is:

Second place on my shortlist would probably be:

For syncing a mix of files, I'd probably not go for rsync, unision handles "real world" (messy) syncs across files better. For backup I personally use duplicity driven by backup ninja (encrypted with GnuPG). But I've yet to do any restores, so I don't really have backup yet ;-)

For anything tex-ish, Mercurial works fine for me. I'm not sure if git (today) is any less capable of handling small binary files -- I'm guessing not. But mercurial text UI/UX is much friendlier IMHO.

I have great hopes for IPFS, but personal/private use is still on the roadmap, so it's not usable for what I personally would need most. But I'm more and more confident they'll get there.
Yes I agree that gzip will probably fix this single-handedly. The main cost here is very likely network transfer, so gzip will do great.

There are two parts to your question.

1) What technology is appropriate for a decentralized reddit, and
2) What technology is best for a decentralized cryptocurrency.

Regarding (1), a small proof of stake stamp for upvote is fine. So, someone can upvote a Lock Ness monster comment to astronomical level for a while by buying computing power? Big deal. Or you can build a social network and rely on something like Sybil Guard. You don't strictly need a consensus here... you can decide to only view the upvotes associated with people in your extended network.

The reason they are using a blockchain is because it is sexy, and it is easier than thinking seriously about the problem.

Regarding (2), proof of stake with safety bonds and yearly checkpointing is probably the sweetspot.
If I am understanding you correctly it seems that you only have an issue if coffee shop count is 'lagging the market' but you never actually say whether you believe it is?

Macros are the most powerful tool for making DSLs, which means they pop up in a lot of "specialized" niches, like web dev. You can make DSLs in other ways, but without the ability to inspect and decompose code at the per-token level, there are limitations to what can be done.

Elixir macros are like Scheme macros; they're fully hygienic (no variable namespace issues), and they evaluate at compile time. The main difference is that Scheme's main syntax construction is the linked list, and Elixir uses a richer data structure, almost equivalent to JSON. Aside from the particular structure the macro's manipulating, the concepts are the same.

Elixir macros are also used idiomatically to allow "smart" loading of modules, e.g. specifying additional code to run in the caller's context rather than the callee's. They fit nicely for this purpose.
I can't agree with you enough, thanks for verifying that other people like me exist!

Give a person a specific task in a specific environment, and stand over them, and generally all you see is that they can bumble through something pretty unfamiliar under a high degree of stress and social pressure. This is a useful skill approximately 0% of the time in a real job. Or if it is a useful skill in the job, your team has more fundamental problems than hiring to worry about!

Give them a problem to solve. Full stop. Let them take their time, do it at home before the interview perhaps, or in a quiet room on their own with their own laptop, or whatever tools they want, internet access etc, with no real time limit. If they 'cheat', you'll know because when you discuss their solution in depth later it'll be clear as day. This will test what you're really after, their ability to solve problems - allowing tools, the web, whatever else to work for them and not be arbitrary hurdles to jump over under pressure.
I think this actually happened in Ex Machina. There's a coding scene, and if you run the program the character writes, it points you to the ISBN for a book on AI.

I look at it a little more optimistically...sure departments try to spend every last penny of their budget so that they don't lose that funding. That's a given. What if departments could spend every last penny BETTER?

Maybe its true that saving money isn't a priority, but spending money on things that have the most impact, or that get the most value is a priority.

I work for OpenGov, so I hear this from our customers (who work in government) all the time.
"Do you know why the current calibre for most nato guns is 5.56mm? yes partly because its smaller, partly because there is less kick, but also because its less lethal."

This is actually a myth - the .223 was not selected because it's designed to injure instead of kill. The main advantage of the round is that it's light, so soldiers can carry a lot of ammunition on them, but it also has a flat trajectory and is quite lethal within typical combat ranges. You also get the advantage that it's easier to shoot a .223 quickly than a larger caliber - a soldier can put 30 rounds down range with more accuracy, in less time, than they can with a larger caliber.
There will never be a human power structure that avoids catering to the powerful, whether expressed with money or some other proxy. The most you can hope for is that the structures also make catering to the non-powerful worth doing.
You can get a lot of NFL and college football from the antenna. I use my parent's cable login to cover the rest (WatchESPN) but of course that's not a real solution available to everyone.
Shrug, the actual detail of the Kunduz massacre not being a drone is utterly irrelevant. The actual detail of using a drone rather than another type of airstrike is also irrelevant. The systematic and intentional killing ("collateral damage") of tons of civilians for an endless war is relevant.

Look up all those times we droned weddings, killing dozens. Certain people at those weddings were targeted, not that it mattered for the attendees.

For a bit more detail in that step at the retina, here are the relative responses of the different cones to various wavelengths (normalized to max = 1):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichromacy#/media/File:Cones_...

Once you account for how much light comes off the object at each wavelength, these curves determine how strongly they impact your color perception. S/M/L stand for short, medium, and long, and are the names we give to the different cone types based on the relative length of waves that stimulate them.

As you can see, we don't have a very balanced view of the "visible spectrum." Butter, for example, is about 1.5x as reflective at 400nm as 450nm. But your eyes are something like 20x as sensitive to the light at 450nm (near peak sensitivity of short wavelength cones), so that light has a bigger impact on activating the short cones. 450nm is also picked up by medium and long cones, while 400 is pretty much below their range.

You're kidding, right?

The operation in the Iraq War (2003) was a shit show -- we steamrolled Iraq's entire public infrastructure, funneled untold millions/billions into Islamist and Western militias, and killed/wounded tens of thousands of Americans, Iraqis, or otherwise.

In Yemen and Afghanistan we send drones over with abandon, not taking care to avoid civilians or that we're hitting the right target.

And after all that, hundreds of billions of dollars are thrown away. Not only is collateral damage there but it's here too -- we are wasting money on dubious programs that have no measurable indicator of success and no end in sight.

War is every bit as ugly as it was a century ago.
I've had the same experience. In my experience the quality is much better than legitimate online streaming services or even cable. That might be in my head but the quality is seriously good.

Nobody believes me when I tell them I get it for free with a $20 antenna. There's over 50 channels in my area (though to be honest only ~40 of them never air anything worth watching).
What China Has Been Building in the South China Sea
Well then I have amazing news.

Thomas* and I are as of this moment co-founders of an early stage startup dedicated to providing highly relevant, high-correlation value coefficient discovery and value maximization tools to VCs, based on a proprietary, patent-pending data signal threshold gathering optimization algorithm. Our years of experience in big data environments makes us uniquely well suited to capture this critical market sector and drive key competitive differentiation value for our select, affluent, data-driven clientele. By transforming guesswork and "feel" into a model-driven, properly-fitted data domain analysis, we believe our transformative technology can provide the same sort of quantum leap optimization to the VC space that similar analysis tools have afforded the financial services space.

And not only does this incredible, ground floor opportunity come with perhaps the top two seasoned computer veterans of all time: we will, for a limited time, accept inquiries into a funding round for the low entry fee of one Lamborghini each. Please ensure that mine is candy apple red.

* Note: Thomas may not yet be aware of this. For the time being, please direct all funds and lamborghinis to me.

It's always interesting to come across a book relevant to me and find that it's basically a step-by-step implementation of Nathan Barry's "Authority" guide to writing a book (I mean that in a positive way, the site is very well made).
Management is a completely separate set of skills from engineering, and a set you have to force yourself to learn. The best book I've read on the subject is Andy Grove's High Output Management [1] -- it talks about how to choose tasks with the highest leverage, how to run meetings and one-on-ones, how to make managerial decisions, and how to motivate your team.

I absolutely love the feel of a gel pen, and tried out the Pentel Energel Liquid Gel Pen (picked it up at Walmart on a lark). Its phenomenal. I still get the gel feel while writing in my Moleskin, but the ink dries in under a second (I've tested this!). Very satisfied (its the only pen I purchase now).

I'm using the 0.7mm point, but intend to try the 0.5mm point in short order, as most of my writing is diagramming infrastructure/code/etc.
