I gestured at my litre of fizzy red wine. “Want a drop of this?” I asked him.

"No thanks. I try not to drink at lunchtime.”

"So do I. But I never quite make it.”

"I feel like shit all day if I drink at lunchtime.”

"Me too. But I feel like shit all lunchtime if I don’t.”

"Yes, well it all comes down to choices, doesn’t it?” he said.
"It’s the same in the evenings. Do you want to feel good at night or do you want to feel good in the morning? It’s the same with life. Do you want to feel good young or do you want to feel good old? One or the other, not both.”

"Isn’t it a tragedy?”
"Ive got a great idea, its like Twitter, but purple!!!"
you can pick up some medium/fine mesh sieves on amazon, i will do a two-pass filtering where i use the mesh sieve to filter out most of the grounds and then run it again through a regular coffee filter. this is basically the same as using a french press, but it's cheaper to reuse old quart containers you get from takeout/yogurt etc than buy a french press.

ideally, it would be easy to find a food-safe coffee filter with the permeability of a plain paper towel (which i have used before, it works fine, it is not ideal, it's almost certainly not "food safe" in that use but whatever).

It is believable they might be worried about sabotage. Fine. It's more surprising that they'd do this themselves. Why not hire an outside firm of some sort? Hell, they have so much money, they could afford to plant employees at all of their competitors and pay them in an untraceable fashion, or through a third party to do "competition analyzation".

Then today they could say they're Shocked, shocked! At the misconduct of this contractor and they're going to sever all ties and withhold payment until a third party review has taken place. While moving all the actual agents to another third party, repeat.
So far as I know there has been exactly one such ad blocker released, and it was promptly abandoned in favor of the kind of adblockers people actually want to use.

I'm not threatened but no-js but I also am not going to maintain 2 code bases or thoroughly complicate things for such a small percentage of people. Yes if you have a news/blog site you should probably support noscript but for web apps I'm sorry, it's just not worth the time and effort.
The company was running out of money -- strong growth, but just running out of cash to pay for servers and take care of ourselves. We needed something big but investors just weren't interested in our product (didn't see the value in cryptocurrency at this time back then). So one of our best guys found a vulnerability in the Swift banking system and used it to transfer $10M into our account, essentially robbing the bank. Kept us going until we were profitable. Best growth hack ever.

Pulled a quick definition of sexism from the web (they all seems more or less the same - "prejudice, stereotyping, or discrimination, typically against women, on the basis of sex."

And the commenter said - "women often have difficulty interrupting in the way that the men here did"

At minimum, that fits at least the stereotyping requirement of the definition.
Maybe I'm being thick, but is he saying you have to choose 3 of 3 or 1 of 3?
Well, they still need streets, so getting rid of them isn't really a solution.

But you just gave me a great idea, inner-city toll roads. Reduces traffic on protected streets and Waze gets to implement a slider how many $ your willing to spend on your shortcuts.
If you meet their assumptions it might make useful, but it's a very opinionated list which is likely not applicable to many companies. I am not sure you can make such a list that is generally applicable to enough companies to be useful.
So easy to write this in a comment but none of this is true. Twitter is not a text based feed. If it was, people would still expect it to be iteractive w/o full page reloads. Same goes for all your examples. DHTML happened, and for a reason. It's not going to unhappen.

As .net core is a full rewrite, all these optimizations are .net core specific, so porting them isn't going to be a easy thing.
I don't think more powerful tools are the solution here. The problems and solution are obvious. The root problem is that many "product" teams will take any 10x improvement from tooling and adapt by being 10x more inefficient. Because they can.

Hardware (laptops, phones), and browsers js and rendering engines, are all 10x faster than they were 10 years ago, giving 100x to 1000x overall speedup. Think about that, it is truly incredible. But web pages are also 100x larger and less efficient than 10 years ago. This is absolutely not justified by productivity increases. This is just how the world / humans seem to work.
Good point. :D

We have to consider that the recording equipment probably did not capture the detonation with much fidelity, and not at all the physiological effects of a powerful shockwave.

I was once fairly close to a lightning strike, and my impression was that there had just been a very loud bang - it was as if it had no duration whatsoever.

If a movie were to depict an explosion realistically, most of the audience would think there was something wrong about it.

I take issue with the way moderate drinking is defined in this and other studies. Drinking, like the article states, "about 5 to 7 beers or 6 to 8 glasses of wine" in one week is very different if you have one beer a day, or if you drink the same amount on a Saturday night outing.

In Mediterranean countries it's pretty common to have a glass with some/most meals, but the regular weekend binging is a relatively new practice. Perhaps that explains overall population health differences with Anglo countries.
Ants only know about problems at the location that previous ants encountered them. That is, they can't look ahead to problems, and can only report when coming back over a path.

A good example of this is the ant colony in a Polish nuclear bunker - the ants consistently fall into a ventilation pipe, because there's no pheromone warning signal of the dangerous fall.

https://arstechnica.com/science/2016/09/bizarre-ant-colony-d...

And as a side-effect, there's an ant colony with no queen, no larvae, no males, but a continual supply of adult workers.

That still only applies to the second option. The first one (false story) is very much possible and it seems very plausible to me. It could be a bet, a sociological research or one of those "why not" ideas... we'll probably never know.

I actually liked the old point and click adventures better, because you always knew exactly what to expect. There was a fixed suite of tools provided by the browser and that was that. Now... well... every dumbass designer with a bright idea is free to inflict some bit of novelty on you. Fads sweep through the design community and suddenly old sites which worked fine have to be "updated" to work differently, and you have to learn them all over again, for no benefit.
Yup - just like that one.
Both my paternal grandparents were some of the downwinders in Utah it alludes to. They were exposed to fallout from around 200 atmospheric nuclear tests, the vast majority of which were far more powerful than Fat Man and Little Boy. That is an amount of radiation many orders of magnitude greater than Fukushima. I've researched it extensively and am convinced it is genuinely one of the darkest and most disturbing parts of US 20th Century history and one that remains glossed over to this day

The Atomic Energy Commission had plenty of evidence to believe that the fallout would be harmful to anyone downwind yet reassured the local populations that it was actually healthy due to "hormesis" and encouraged them to watch the detonations and drink contaminated milk while they themselves wore protective gear and followed proper protocol. There were several proposed test sites that would have sent the fallout relatively harmlessly into the Atlantic yet they chose one in an extremely dusty area upwind of population centers which were almost entirely Native Americans and Mormons. At best it was a blatant disregard for human life that prioritized the budget of the AEC over minimizing harm to innocent people and at worst it was an intentional case of unethical human experimentation. It certainly was when they forced infantry to march through mushroom clouds without any decontamination or protective gear.

As for my grandparents, one lost his stomach and gallbladder and went from a muscular ~200 lb outdoorsman to a 90lb skeleton dependent on a feeding tube. Our grandmother died unexpectedly from a horrific variety of lung cancer 10 years later. He lived another 10 years in absolute misery. There are thousands of stories like these in Utah, many of them even more tragic. Despite their oncologists testifying that it was essentially impossible for their cancers to have been caused by anything other than nuclear weapons exposure, neither received the paltry $50,000 compensation because of bureaucratic technicalities.
I used to work at Standard and Poors. They do media monitoring for lots of financial companies.

When I joined, I thought they using state of the art tools to monitor millions of sources.

Turns out they just had a team of thousands in India that manually visited certain websites to check for press releases, transcripts, earnings reports, etc and push them to a database if they found them.
You miss the point: as you note, there's a sexist behaviour observed in some men. You have to choose a word to describe this behaviour. If you choose a word that suggests that a whole category has that certain behaviour, then you are being sexist.

Let me show that with a simple example.

Some women are always complaining and whining. You have to find a word for this behaviour. If you choose a word (femmwhining, maybe?) that implies that all women are always complaining and whining, then you are being sexist.

Regarding "UNPHAT": Is this... serious? Does the author genuinely hope that we will use this acronym as a means to help guide our technology choosing decisions? Is it not their creation and is just something I wasn't aware of yet?

Finally, do these forced acronyms ever help anybody else out there? I mean seriously, the "N" standing for "eNumerate?" The "P" standing for "Paper," which barely correlates to the actual meaning "consider a candidate solution."

Seems to me just saying "apply a principle of unfattening your technology decisions" would be a hell of a lot easier to remember.

If your business model depends on you claiming that your "employee's" are actually contractors then you don't have a business model.

People voting is fine. The problem is the people who think they should have the power to remove politicians from the ballot, because they want to assume control over the votes of everybody else.
I think what the grandparent comment is getting at is that you as an employee have little control over the delayed compensation strategy. If you're lucky, you have a honest founder and investors who make sure you're paid for your contribution at deal closing time. If you're not lucky, you have a board/CEO/founder that will take whatever they can get away with (e.g. your value add) and then point to the financial rules/contingencies and say, "Well, we tried to do all we could, but we had to do this to ensure the success of the company. We needed to compensate the administration because it's hard to find such good talent like ourselves. Your still getting something here..." Or some such line. And you end up with some minuscule share at the same time providing critical value to the business.
Correct - the guidance on these missiles were more of the "point and fire" variety. So to ensure that you shot down the Soviet bomber (which also had nuclear weapons on it), you compensated by increasing the size of the explosion. Even a miss might have been good enough, as the shockwave could potentially tear a wing or tail off.

There's a number of very vocal anti-racist or anti-sexist that seem to ignore or downplay discrimination based on class, employability and mental health.

This can be very divisive.
>See how this works?

Not quite. My opinions aren't a secret IRL. I am surrounded by like minded individuals and am not afraid to voice my ideas freely.

There is a serious difference in the way I approach weapons training/survival and the way my ideological opponents do. So I am not that concerned.

But this is not the point. The point is, people will rebel if you put them into a corner.

Event + Ajax + DOM is most of jQuery. And is most what your webapp is. Now I'm more of a fan of Vue.JS + axios myself. But if I have to go minimal, 40ko of jQuery is nothing and save so much trouble. All the "you don't need jquery" thing is done by people doing prototypes that are not tested on most browser or assess in term or ressource vs reward, which is a lot of the projects in the JS community.

1) It's irrelevant since it's the only language we have on the browser.

2) I think this is actually a cultural problem. Are users steering away from overcomplex/bloated/intrusive websites? If not, why not?

3) That's an argument similar to should a site support IE8? IMO it really boils down to the cost vs the benefit of supporting user without JS. And that of course will depend on your target users.

True. But there is also a "virality bias" that made us see this story in the first place. If it didn't fit a trending narrative so well we would never have heard of it.

Meanwhile millions of unreported interactions happened the same day. We can't know what big picture they add up to.

To me the lesson is that basing your world view on viral internet stories is one of the worst ways to understand the world.

I also would like know this. I find the Pharo ecosystem challenging to understate as the documentations aren't as rich as other platforms with more volunteers.

Cyanogenmod supported the Galaxy Nexus until 13.0 which is Android 6.0.1. So Google just dropped support after 4.3 (coincidentally the last unsupported version) even though it was absolutely possible to update to newer versions of Android. As a result the Galaxy Nexus doesn't receive security updates from Google and is thus not usable as an online device.
My credit union's web site hilariously misinterprets my browser's portrait-mode aspect ratio and lack of Javascript as evidence that I must be using a phone, and serves me up a "mobile" site which is lighter, simpler, faster, and generally more pleasant to use than the normal one. Yes, there are a couple of extra pages to click through when transferring money from one account to another, but the pages load so quickly that it's still actually faster than the Javascript-based menus in the desktop site.

Every time I set up a new browser, NoScript is the second plugin I install, after uBlock Origin. Between the two, the web is far less annoying than it used to be.

Who knows how long that will be the case. Nowadays, I imagine a prolonged employment at Uber is a serious black mark on a resume.
"pulled a quick definition from the web" is virtually never a useful way to engage something like this. It's like quoting a statute from the law books and ignoring a long history of case law that defines how that law actually works in practice.
