Going out for food and drinks with co-workers is indeed a way to relieve stress and socialize; and it is indeed a place where the hierarchy is (seemingly and within certain bounds) relaxed a little. The shadow side in South Korea (and Japan) is that these outings are to some extent implicitly mandatory. It is a part of their traditional business culture, and during the work week you hardly spend any hours at leisure at home. This pattern is often criticized for its detrimental effect on family life and raising children; or even starting a relationship (in Japan in particular).

Might not all be so bad if your wife is a bad cook though. Korean BBQ is delicious.
How about learning some CSS? This "joke" should really be retired by now. I've been doing this stuff 10+ years ago when stills supporting IE5, for fucks sake.

Stuff like this is why I welcome the upcoming automation/AI/robot revolution. Humans just don't handle stress well. We're a mess when things go wrong or we feel slighted or feel stuck or whatever. Its incredible how delicate we are and how office work, which was promised to be a pleasant alternative to factory/farming work, is just as bad, if not worse than the alternatives from a stress perspective.

There's something terribly unhealthy about being stuck in an office all day. The risk/reward mechanism is screwy (do an amazing job, get the same salary as doing a lackluster job), we don't move enough, don't get enough sunlight, and it brings out the worst of people as getting ahead usually means playing a mean and dishonest game of politics against your coworkers.

We can use that same $8 billion to create jobs building things that would benefit citizens, like transportation infrastructure, municipal internet, low-income housing, etc. Instead of jobs for airport greeters.

We need to be thinking of the sources of unemployment, such as the shift in our energy demand, and instead of impotently promising to bring coal jobs back, redirect that manpower to something that will matter going forward.

Honestly, Packt has the worst signal-to-noise ratio of tech publishers out there. I know it depends on the author and reviewer but I've had plenty of bad reading experiences. Even if they're free they still cost your time.

That said, the book featured today (Node Design Patterns) is worth a quick read.
> > have everything on a page come from the same origin

> Would that really be so bad?

Yes definitely. Many sites use CDNs and the likes to serve their static files but even if we exclude those with newer technologies (HTTP2 etc) you've still got the big behemoth sites such as YouTube that simply can't serve everything from the same origin. They've got some smart folks over at Google but I'd imagine even they'd have a bit of trouble trying to make that mess work!
tl;dr: This is a lightweight alternative to ClojureScript, for the many web apps who only need a little JS sprinkled here and there, and aren't built as SPAs. It doesn't need a file structure or to be compiled ahead of time; it's a function that takes a quoted Clojure expression, and returns a string, which can be used at runtime if needed.
Guatemala tried DST for one year 2011(?) and caused mass confusion. Half the country didn't switch. Every schedule had to be double-checked which time it was in "government time" or "old time". The large religious population was especially resistant to changing times, calling the previous time "god's time" and refusing to change clocks. Guatemala canceled DST the next year.

Being closer to the equator, the day length difference between the longest and shortest day is under 2 hours, so it makes no sense at all to have DST.
> Take e.g. Being able to travel and work in the EU. The best case scenario is maintaining the status quo, which we will certainly have to pay for,

This works both ways. Right now, the UK has many EU migrants - including not highly educated/qualified people - despite not even having signed the Schengen treaty. For highly qualified people, who supposedly voted "remain", nothing substantial will change, as they will be welcomed with open arms pretty much anywhere in the world. What's there to be afraid of?

Ask HN: Good standards for CSS standards page
OK, so as we're more backend oriented team, we have huge mess in CSS. My task is to introduce some standards page - for us to know what's going on and for new team members to know what's going on quicker ;) I think about separate page with some structured knowledge: element itself, class name, some additional data (maybe editable problems/suggestions column). If anyone have any suggestions I'd be grateful (please mind I don't mean CSS standards itself, which you can find in many places on the web, but rather some advice how to build page for this purpose).

Amazon has never had curation. Other places such as Jet have curation but much fewer products.
The use of the word "expert" here gives me pause.

I thought one of the motivations behind this library was that you did not need to be an "expert" to use it.
Yes. Sarcastic.

I appreciate especially this part of your comment: If anyone is on the fence about sustainability vs economic growth, I strongly urge you to do a full accounting with all externalities.

If we focus on the full accounting of positives (not even looking at externalities), we already see problems with these economic models. They fail to assign positive economic value to the zoning laws.

The economists in the article say something like "these zoning laws are depressing economic output by $1.5 trillion."

But, there's another way to look at it: "the value that communities derive from having the power to zone their cities as they see fit is $1.5 trillion."

In other words, these local communities are willing to exchange $1.5 trillion in easy-to-value economic activity for the power to create not-so-easy-to-value zoning laws. The fact that these economists choose to ignore that economic value does not eliminate that value.

I see it as comparable to a stay-at-home spouse who raises children. Such a person doesn't receive an easy-to-count dollar-value paycheck. But those stay-at-home parents across the country are, without any doubt, working hard and contributing significantly to GDP. It's a matter of measurement, not existence. The economic value definitely exists.

How seriously should any of us take an economic model which completely ignores such contributions to GDP?
Looks like there's a market for Google-provided products with an emphasis on privacy...

I too switched to DDG several months ago for similar reasons, but I can't get away from Chrome's dev tools. Any privacy/performance conscious browsers out there that can compete with Chrome? FF wasn't great the last time I tried it.
I first thought the article was a bit of a fluff piece, but after seeing this thread and the misunderstanding and over-simplification, it does seem apropos and worth discussing. The toolkit that makes a scientist does not necessarily make a philosopher of science and vice-versa. Thankfully I am neither so I can see both sides :)

(and the comments section on the nytimes site is a mixed bag as well)
Taken straight from Wikipedia:

Putting clocks forward benefits retailing, sports, and other activities that exploit sunlight after working hours, but can cause problems for outdoor entertainment and other activities tied to sunlight, such as farming.

It additionally mentions that DST was most heavily implemented during the energy crisis of the 70's.
>"They're saying that the pipeline that runs between the raw DICOM output of the scanner and the t-test, which is an equally important part of the testing procedure, is flawed."

Yes, in other words the null hypothesis is being rendered false, by some aspect of the analysis pipeline. I am saying that is the correct description of the problem.

Describing the problem as excess false positives is confused, because these are true positives.

They appear to have successfully identified a problem, but then described and analyzed it incorrectly.

>"The FWER there is indistinguishable from 5%, as it should be if the null were true."

If the null is true, the pvalues should be samples from a uniform distribution. Another thing is they should have shown histograms of these. The 5% below 0.05 is not the whole story.
There could be other ways the deviation manifests and/or they just chose sample sizes to be powered to get that result.

"I'd love to read a few sentences describing how that follows."

We have already read the exact sentences that mean the null model is false, multiple times. You have agreed that something was wrong, but want to call it something other than the null model.
I was about to ask about it's robustness and security. Then, the website gave me 404 errors on features, news, and other sections on the website. Hmm. I'll still put it on the list, though, for non-critical use.
Name Brands are how you have good margins on dish soap. In the Pre iPhone days I found Samsung phones a cut above the rest. Unfortunately, much like home printers people are willing to put up with junk in the search for low prices and high DPI.

Hopefully, in 10-20 years we will start seeing new brand names again as the hardware will be more or less indistinguishable.
The main problem with booting the Alto off Ethernet is that it uses 3 Mb/s Ethernet, which is incompatible with "modern" Ethernet hardware. We can't just plug an Ethernet cable into the back of the Alto. Back then, Ethernet used a "vampire tap" that clamped onto a coaxial cable with spikes that pierced the cable to make the connection. And you could only make connections at special spots on the cable (marked with black stripes) in order to avoid signal reflections.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vampire_tap

The Living Computer Museum in Seattle is building a 3 Mb Ethernet gateway, which potentially would allow network booting.
If you had read the next sentence of my comments you would have seen that it would be a "few more lines" if you didn't use jQuery, basically you need a function like:

function eachItem(arrayLike, cb) {
return [].slice.call(arrayLike).forEach(cb);
}

So 3 more lines. If I said you can write a very verbose accordion in under 20 lines would that be good enough for you?

Well, under the hoods of DST, every employer is changing their schedule (relative to the sidereal midnight) at once anyway, by agreeing to abide by DST and forwarding their clocks at once.

Then why not agree to change the office timings at once?

The article glosses over a critical element: Getting Amazon reviews and positive ratings.

Unfortunately, many sellers of new products take the easiest way out, and go to Fiverr or a similar service to pump up their product with dozens of fake reviews. A few also use fake reviews to bring down competing products. It's a broken mess that misleads buyers and hurts legitimate vendors.

> It seems philosophers STILL haven't learned the importance of applying the scientific method before leaping to a conclusion

To be fair, if you can apply the scientific method it's not really philosophy anymore, it's science. Philosophy exists in order to attempt understanding of domains we cannot rigorously apply empirical reasoning to.
Oh this reawakens painful memories dealing with timezones and dates! :(

The shock horror is that there isn't any standard C API nor library for dealing with time zones properly.

`localtime()` will convert a time to your current timezone. You can find code that tries to work around this by acquiring locks and setting environment variables before each invocation of `localtime`.

There is no API that lets you specify another timezone (except, perhaps, NetBSD which has a `localtime_rz` function).

There is also no good way of getting a definitive list of work days and non-work-days for countries in the world.

When working on a system fairly recently that had to avoid doing something on evenings, weekends and non-working-days in France, I ended up parsing the 'secret, can be changed at any time' tzinfo files directly and compiling my own list of holiday days in France. And then there was a horrid terrorist attack and three days of national mourning in France and my code didn't realise and that was an awful feeling.
Kind of off-topic, but why have you had so many phones? In the last 6 years I've had 1x Galaxy Nexus, 1x HTC One M8, 1x iPhone 6, and 1x Galaxy S7.

Having shared my opinion about the Brexit vote on social media, I've experienced a lot of what this article describes first hand.

There are plenty of use-cases where the risk of losing data to gain performance is perfectly acceptable.

What is important is being clear about what trade-offs they make.

As an example: Years ago I worked on a classifieds aggregation engine; we crawled hundreds of thousands of feeds, indexing tens of millions of listings.

All the queues in our processing pipeline were in-memory only: if we lost a few items (or a million) it didn't matter; worst case we'd pick them up no later than 24 hours later - in the case of more severe loss we'd simply trigger re-indexing of the feeds likely to have been "in flight" at the time. Failures would affect freshness and cause us to lose out on some updates, but as long as they were not severe enough or too frequent nobody would even notice, because the inventory was large and fleeting.

There are lots of cases like that where "performance over everything" can be a totally valid trade-off, because your data store is not the canonical source of information, doesn't need to be precise or comprehensive, and/or can be easily refreshed, for example.

This does require you to know and understand your requirements and what the datastore in question guarantees (or not), of course. If you don't, then you better stick with a "safe" option.

There are plenty of alternative parcel delivery companies in Germany (UPS, DPD, GLS, Hermes), and they're all generally OK.

The worst experience I've had was indeed with DHL, where they apparently loaded my parcel on to the truck every day for about two weeks, but never attempted delivery. Eventually I worked it out with the sender, and DHL returned the original parcel to them.

Otherwise, I get dozens of parcels from DHL per year without incident. Every company has horror stories, and I doubt they differ too much percentage-wise in terms of loss and damage.

Exponential Backoff with RabbitMQ
If Amazon relaxes on pricing, most likely Walmart, Target, BestBuy and similar large retailers will benefit first and foremost. The cost to build out a large selection online retailer is so vast, and the profit margin so mediocre, we're unlikely to see another Amazon-like company in the next 20 years. Amazon's survival was practically a fluke to begin with, the dotcom bubble and the capital it afforded them was the only reason they made it out alive and were able to scale as they did to get out in front of old-line competitors. Had the bubble ended maybe just six months earlier, Amazon goes bankrupt.

I've had the thought floating around for years to start the day at 8AM at sunrise each day, and allow for longer/shorter day durations by just jumping the clock to 8AM the next morning at civil twilight.

I know with 100% certainty it will never happen, but I might just build my own custom clock like that for when I retire and don't care who else knows if I'm up or not. ;-)

Heck, this problem even extends to usb cables. There's a google engineer who reviews USB-C cables after people started complaining about them damaging Nexus phones.

Its impossible for a few to represent the interest of many. So the simpler the choice, the less representative it is. It should be more important to give power to the person running your city than your country, because his policies are way more likely to make an impact in your daily life. Making a oversimplifying comparison, centralization is usually against the robustness and efficiency of a system, since it adds a central point of failure. In practice, for me, it add so many layers of abstraction that the ones at the top make decisions on things very different than what the ones at the bottom care about.

Centralization was practical before, but now with technology we have an increased capacity of descentralization.
Following that maxim comes with the implicit privilege of taking the consequences. Depending on your local jurisdiction, it's very possible that breaking the law to watch a decent but hardly worldshattering TV drama involves more risk than it's worth.
