Based on the images, I'd imagine those soft formed parts around the base and handle would become brittle, crack, and either peel off in one piece or crumble away bit by bit.

The point grandparent was making is that the "deluxe" models often use the visible metal parts to provide the appearance of durability, when the internals are identical between models. It applies more to refrigerator doors than to box graters. That stainless steel fridge is going to have the same crappy plastic blower fan as one with a painted door, but may sell at a higher price, because it looks more durable to anyone who doesn't own a screwdriver.

The usual implication is that that the manufacturer didn't cut that specific corner, so there may be other corners that were not cut. It's like replacing the hood ornament of your VW beetle with one made from solid gold. It will then be the only part that doesn't rust all the way through.
Hey there... There are a LOT of ideas out there (for example, I have a vision of a mentoring platform that is stuck in my head).

The thing is... like others on this thread have said, there is a ton of demand. So what interests you?

I have been getting involved with local politics recently, and there is a HUGE need for designers for political clubs, and organizations.

I'd say find something you are passionate about and start volunteering, and if you want to help Progressive Democrats then DM me!
To an extent, but I think being rich also shields you from reality. Rich people don't realise how greedy they are because no one ever dares to tell them or even hint at it.

They get used to getting extra attention, extra laughs at their jokes, extra compliments about how generous they are, etc... Over time, their idea of normal becomes very abnormal.
The arbitrary limit is a performance thing. Fits neatly in one UDP datagram and passes through everything unhampered by MTU etc.

It is stored in a register on some architectures like ARM. However, that register gets spilled to the stack to store another return address there when calling another level deeper. It doesn't change much. It does make it easier to implement return address control flow integrity that's not vulnerable to a race window between the CFI check and the return.
If deliberately misunderstanding genuine discussion is your approach, it's probably just as well.

You are kind of proving my point: for Canadians to come to the US for more money as you state makes a lot of sense. You get to keep your Canadian citizenship and if things go badly, you move back. Also, re. 'employers pay for your medical insurance', the trouble is how long said employer will keep you around if some unforeseen illness comes about. COBRA, for which the premiums are very high, is good for another 18 months, assuming you have enough money saved up to pay for it along with the medical expenses brought about by the adversity.

I think my motorbike vs. Camry analogy is reasonable. Vast numbers of people ride motorbikes every day and live for decades without encountering a problem .Others can end up having their lives turned upside down as a result of some accident. A social safety net is not designed for everyone to bounce on but to catch the most unfortunate in society and help them cope as best as possible at their time of extreme adversity. My point is that the US, especially with the impending destruction of the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid defunding, is about to lose its very short-lived and already weak safety net. If you can go back to Canada when adversity strikes, you are in good shape. Most people don't have that option.
Again, I'm not advocating for one scheme or another. I'm telling you what the current reality is in the United States. Other countries have different norms for this. Other things done in the U.S., such as wearing shorts, are considered deeply offensive in other countries. When in those countries, I don't wear shorts.

Using non-human animals as a benchmark is not going to help you in any way. The scope of this discussion is humans in the United States.

You are permitted to disagree, but this doesn't change reality. The arbitrary nature of your treatment is due to the tolerance of the "nice" library. The "psycho bitch" (way to promote tolerance, dude!) head librarian was also thinking of her own welfare and ability to concentrate on her duties.

Please also recognize that most of the poor in the United States do have access to soap and water. I dispute that anyone making the median household income is middle-class or upper class.

I feel for you and your circumstances. You do appear to care about how other people's behavior affects you. You appear to have less regard about how your choices and behavior affects other people. Then again, this is completely understandable and justifiable considering how comfortable their lives are in comparison to yours. It doesn't make it correct.
Hey I never saw this. Thank you for saying this. I'll keep it in mind. This is good crystallization of some of my thoughts. I think if they do make it a pre-condition of employment I'll go over it with a VERY fine toothed comb with a good lawyer.
I don't see a problem with this. Habits are self-reinforcing, good or bad. If you can interrupt a bad habit once, or start a good habit once, you give yourself more momentum for the next go-round. You have X probability of successfully doing it the first time, and you may or may not do what you set out to. But whether you do affects the probability that you'll do it the next time. And I'd be wary of anyone that claims that they never, ever, have any say in the matter when it comes to doing something once, even if it's hard.

I do agree with you in that by this same logic, you have a better chance of arriving at great self-control if you start with decent self-control.

Alternatively, try doing boring work you hate for hours because bills needs to be paid. It is less pleasant then doing sport you like.

19 kuai is almost a lunch at a xiaochi.

To a lot of people, however, 19 kuai is still a lot, especially a migrant worker or an old ayi. Also, I wouldn't call Beijing a modern safe city, Shanghai sure, but Beijing is definitely 3rd tier pretending to be 1st.
I think that depends on the specific skillset they are looking for. In the systems software industry $120K CAD total compensation is about half of what a Senior Staff makes based on what I've seen.

Generally speaking, people need to start being more proactive asking for raises and switching to higher paying jobs if we want compensation in the GTA job market to improve.

Good luck with that. Owners of property will fight to protect the system that benefits them. Even those who don't own much will, like people regularly paying off a house loan from their wages hoping they can resell at a profit.

There Are Only a Few Possibilities for the Future of News
+1 this. I've asked multiple people and ideas are mostly mixed on what Snap's strategy should be going forward. Being a social app will definitely be a difficult play. IMO they could try to leverage their AR expertise to do, well, something. But social definitely seems like it will be tough.

Good luck to the team though. It must be a stressful time there.
Unless you download podcasts from websites, almost all podcast apps (iTunes, Overcast, Spotify etc) have a "Top 10" or "highly recommended" section.
iOS supposedly runs the UI thread at maximum priority on phones, which is similar to what you are suggesting here.
RT was innovative, or "innovative enough," when I used it years ago, and it really helped me get a handle on my unfocused internet travels. I hope my freeloading didn't affect his passing. RIP.
For Facebook, it's not unreasonable. For SNAP, it is.
Thank you for range types! They are awesome and I have lost count of how often I've used them. I even have a blog post you might enjoy about defining an inetrange: http://illuminatedcomputing.com/posts/2016/06/inet-range/ (Corrections/suggestions welcome. :-)

I know about that Date book but it is pretty low on my priority list. I've read a few other things by him and they seem like great ideas but hopelessly impractical for a working programmer like me (e.g. Tutorial D). And I am a little sore that rejecting Snodgrass's TSQL2 seems to have set back temporal databases by about 20 years. The Date paper I mentioned above has a lot of criticism but gives no real alternative proposals. So is that book better? Does it have something to add?
That sounds fine on paper but does tends to cause overuse of the resource. People don’t value what they get cheaply or free. I belive NHS from UK is facing a similar problem.
It's not possible for one person to ever have all of the money unless they have the possibility of not giving money away. Imagine the most optimistic state scenario just prior to hopefully having a state where one person has all the money. In this scenario everyone but our lucky rich guy has one dollar and the rich guy has all the rest. On state transition everyone gives the rich guy a dollar, but the rich guy still has to give a dollar to someone.
Lovely stuff! Any working examples / demos of this anywhere on the web?
Yep, same here. Fidelity account with pretty low balance but profiled for "aggressive growth", opted into their IPOs, and I got an invitation to participate. Blue Apron, too, among others.
Game is a complex thing and it would handle it perfectly. Believe me it handles really well also simple cases. For me it's not a first iteration on the idea of routing automation.

Why do you call the position "product designer" when it is definitely asking for UX designers? I mean, when I think "product designer" I think industrial design, but this is clearly on the software side.

Ah, I guess this is common confusion; from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_design:

> Product design is sometimes confused with (and certainly overlaps with) industrial design, and has recently become a broad term inclusive of service, software, and physical product design. Industrial design is concerned with bringing artistic form and usability, usually associated with craft design and ergonomics, together in order to mass-produce goods.[4] Other aspects of product design include engineering design, particularly when matters of functionality or utility (e.g. problem-solving) are at issue, though such boundaries are not always clear.[5]
Ethernet Getting Back on the Moore’s Law Track
It's disappointing that little verified OSs like these don't show up little boxes that need them, such as home DSL routers, printers, webcams, and various IoT devices. Those all have one job, and run a fixed program or programs. You want them to do that one job and nothing else. Not act as attack vectors against other systems.
Something which multiplexes hardware, but provides no APIs, such that VM guests think they're running alone on bare hardware.

There is what amounts to an "API". The virtualized software thinks it's talking directly to hardware, so the API is just an emulation of that hardware. Since controlling hardware is almost invariably messier than doing system calls, the API is actually more complex.

Therefore, we can evaluate these claims by asking what we know about security breaches on VM/CMS systems.

Here's an HN post I wrote a few years ago, about VM exploits: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9241807

Plenty of exploits to be found, many of which were related to emulation of "I/O channel programs", which are, essentially, System/370 I/O "hardware".

As it happened with blogs in the mid-2000s, we are all listening to the same damn 10 podcasts. Discovering quality podcasts based on topic/keyword is almost impossible.
The data does not support that conclusion as the 14% represents the whole of those surveyed, which includes both parenting and non-parenting students.

There is no breakdown of such characters on a parenting vs. non-parenting basis.

So it could be 13% of "homeless" students are parenting vs. 1% who are non-parenting, the complete reversal, or anything in between.

As in_cahoots noted above, check out Table 3 of the data. It alone is much more clear on what's what.
I actually knew the woman. She actually was a psycho bitch. Her own staff hated her, not just some of the library patrons.

You are in no way taking anything I am saying at all seriously. You seem blind to your own biases and they are incredibly offensive. The person cutting my hair merely being polite and tolerating my smell is NOT "the only plausible explanation."

I have had people tell me to my face they thought I was a tourist. I am not misreading politeness as something else.

So, I think I am done talking with you. Your remarks utterly fail to meet any kind of baseline civility and respect for me as a human being. I'm homeless, so you think you know all there is to know about me based on that one detail and don't confuse you with the facts, your mind is made up.
HN isn't going to solve your mental health issues, especially if you have depression or an anxiety disorder. Mental health care is affordable in the US, Canada, and much of Europe, even if it's just a support group or a counselor.

What does IE have to do with this? And I don't think this will increase development time. If anything, it will allow people to innovate faster, since it is easier to contribute.
Factorus--automated refactoring in Vim (no IDE necessary)
Hi all,

I work with Java a lot, and one of the major complaints I (and apparently many others) have with Vim is that it has no support for refactoring. To that end, I've written a plugin that allows for renaming arguments, methods, fields, and classes, as well as a function for automated method extraction. I'd like to expand the functionality to other languages and other refactoring tools, but my selection of test files is obviously limited. Try it out, and if you like it feel free to provide feedback on how you think it could be improved.

Cheers!
Yay! :D
A lot of that trove of existing data is locked up behind privacy law barriers, and there's no incentive for doing the work to strip out the PII and make it available for aggregate analysis. And since we're talking about the costs for performing medical treatments, the details that would need to be stripped out could be significant.

For example, if Procedure A tends to be more costly when the patient also needs Procedure B, that's significant. But if the aggregate information includes the fact that the same patient needed both A and B, that might be usable to identify the patient, and so the relationship can't be shared in the data.

If there is a cause or issue you feel strongly about, is there a way to illuminate or explain this issue using a combination of graphics and text, in a way that doesn't mislead?

I'm not a graphic designer, but during the recent UK election, I created a site to dissuade people from voting for the Conservative party. One issue I wrote about was our method of voting in the UK. Here is a (fairly rubbish) graphic trying to highlight the results of the 2015 UK election. The fact is that many people simply don't know how our electoral system works or what it's flaws are. Is this diagram clear without any context? (Probably not!)

https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1000/1*OXaiFJ49RtESX0Qjl...

Here is the article in which the graphic appeared giving additional context:

https://medium.com/@dontvoteconservativeuk/uk-general-electi...

Often it's impossible to explain a topic or idea without supporting visuals.

Being able to explain things clearly with both text and graphics (whether for campaigning or teaching or persuasion) is a really valuable skill.

If that appeals to you, perhaps this is an avenue you could pursue? But you'll have to find the cause, topic or idea that inspires you.
"Actual happiness always looks pretty squalid in comparison with the over-compensations for misery. And, of course, stability isn't nearly so spectacular as instability. And being contented has none of the glamour of a good fight against misfortune, none of the picturesqueness of a struggle with temptation, or a fatal overthrow by passion or doubt. Happiness is never grand."

I'm heading back from Japan today, and my family got a bunch of checkups and medical stuff done while we were here.

Even without insurance all our procedures cost total less than ~$100 apiece.

The most expensive thing I've ever had in japan was my full body workup last year for $500.

It included: stomach ultrasound, 5 blood tests, eye exam, MRI(brain) and barium scan. All without insurance.

By comparison, in the US I was charged $1200 to get my daughters arm cast changed (no xray, just a nurse changing the cast), and $800 for an ultrasound.

It is literally cheaper to fly to Japan and get treatment without insurance than to use my health insurance that I pay $1300/month for.

Also, as a bonus, because of the set prices of medical procedures in Japan, insurance is super cheap. For a family of 4 it was costing me around $500/month when I used to live here.

Facebook is a panopticon with a massive dataset on each user, and has a pretty substantial moat by way of users 'punishing' each other for leaving, among other competitive advantages.

Snapchat is a trendy app that could easily become uncool, and when it does, I don't see how users feel much of a penalty for leaving in the same way FB users do.
This looks really cool (and I'm not a hardcore gamer) but avid Discord user for things like Zwift.

I'm curious: are there other use cases for Guilded outside of online gaming? For instance, on Zwift, you can join certain races and clubs, but it's really messy and happens primarily off their app (often in FB Groups). This seems like a better use case.

As one small example, it's incredibly frustrating that I have to view page source to extract metadata (e.g. title + description) when adding a new URL, rather than pinboard just doing this for me.

I think my bookmark extension extracts at least the title for me.

IIRC one bookmark extension I used used to add whatever text I had highlighted before bookmarking as the description.
I don't think the two are equivalent however.

Would "24 infotainment podcasts" be a better way of describing this list?

Nothing wrong with infotainment. Maybe it will even make you seem more interesting at parties. Nothing wrong with that, either. But it's not the same thing as being smarter.
You would need standard form factors. Like my ATX tower computer case, which hosted a grand total of three different motherboards before I ended up with some free cap-rot era Dell workstations. After re-capping their boards, I discovered they were not ATX compliant, and couldn't be moved to any other case. My high-quality ATX case thus sits idle, awaiting the day when I get a new board for my newer mini-ITX case, and make it my backup machine.

Those non-standard Dell cases and power supplies will go into the trash.
