How is Bulma different in that regard?

BS4's modules and components are highly portable and work in pretty much any context. I don't see how offering a theme customization tool results in a "severely restricted visual design", it allows the freedom to make any visual design you want. BS4 is MUCH more than visuals/UI.
Looking at the tables we used for recent benchmarking comparing Postgres vs.
Timescale (https://blog.timescale.com/timescaledb-vs-6a696248104e):

PG 100M rows: 30.98GB (1 table)

TS 100M rows: 30.93GB (1 hypertable, 6 chunks)

Same results for the 1B table, just 10x larger (and TS has 10x more chunks).
I did some back of the envelope calculations and if everyone on the planet runs 1.4 20W lightbulbs (100W equivalent CFL) half the time, that comes to the amount of energy expended on smelting Aluminium.

Aluminium per year: 720000GWh

20W (100W equivalent CFL) Lightbulb on half the year: 87.6KWh

Aluminium = 8.21917808 × 10e9 lightbulbs

Probably wrong in many ways, but I'll post it here anyway.
Yeah whatever damage (if any) HN does is child's play compared to the big players. Being explicitly about technology and related news rather than yourself makes a huge difference already. With consideration to the lack of aggressive personalization/click manipulation makes it hard to claim its even in the same game. It still is a social network at the end of the day though, least how I see it.

It is very important to be nuanced and honest in this discussion of "victimhood culture," as while there are legitimate arguments to be made it can also be used as another way of avoiding substantive discussion and derailing efforts for change. I've heard discussions follow essentially the following path: "Hey, we should change the lights in here -- if we switch to a softer bulb we'll get less glare on the screens." "Stop being such a victim! Victimhood culture these days...."

Some of the comments here that characterize, say, women speaking about sexism as "proponents of victimhood culture" seem to be mainly bent on making sure that if women speak up they're told they shouldn't and if they don't they're told they should have. If one is always constructing the situation so that people in adverse situations have no possible way of winning, one should admit that.
I worded it wrong. I meant the incentives are high for the signaling, but actually inverted for the acts.

My example was supposed to be that you are rewarded for looking fair, but it would actually be detrimental to be so.

Deception and hypocrisy, I think, are related to this, but I feel they are a little different, too. Don't know if I can explain why. So perhaps I'm just wrong on that feeling?
I'm in the same boat. Stated out with the C64 but found "drawing" by working out the hex codes to poke into the sprite gen a bit too much for 10 year old me. Then my parents bought a Mac LC with System 7 that came with a full Hypercard dev stack. We also scrounged a copy of ResEdit and were off to the races. I learned the language mostly from opening up existing stacks and inspecting the code, sometimes with a text editor if the stack was protected (like many games were).
It took them nearly a millennium to do only a fraction of what communists accomplished in about a century.

If anyone wants to crunch numbers and determine a per capita "death as a result of state action" for various empires over time I think it would be really interesting.

How does a bad year in the roman empire compared to a purge year in the USSR? Average year vs average year? What about the great leap forward?
Unfortunately, cosmetic filters that don't target a specific domain have performance implications[1] so I try to make every filter specific to a domain.

That being said I do have a few generic cosmetic filters as part of the list (you can see them near the top of the list) that don't target any specific domain but I don't use the "position: absolute" rule on any of them.

One of my teachers told me of a supposed incident where one of her friends allegedly got the same cake back a year later from a different person than she'd given it to - it was an unusual shape or something.

Of course, she might just have wanted to tell a story to get us interested in her lesson on Christmas traditions.
I wasn't responding to that, I was responding to the part about "OS needs to reboot to install updates" being a part of life - it definitely ain't just a Windows thing.

Anyway, I'm glad that Windows restarts for me when I'm sleeping and I wish my Macs would do the same. It's pretty easy to avoid having it restart at the wrong time - you just go into the Settings and tell Windows what your active hours are. They let you enter a time range of up to 18 hours.
Oh yeah. On top of the fresh bloat it also reset lots of registry entries and other hidden features. Not a fan of that.
PS: In the case of companies selling many different versions of the same product/service, choice can be used to confuse consumers.
To repeat the quote from the top of the thread:

"Neither side is 100% correct and both viewpoints are necessary for a functioning society or, in this case, company. A company too far to the right may be slow to react, overly hierarchical, and untrusting of others. In contrast, a company too far to the left will constantly be changing (deprecating much loved services), over diversify its interests (ignoring or being ashamed of its core business), and overly trust its employees and competitors."

This is exactly a centrist position.

Now you can reasonably argue that on balance the document isn't centrist. I think you're wrong, but reasonable people can disagree.

That there isn't anything in there that would support a description of centrism is trivially false.
I feel that the term "Holocaust" is being used here to sensationalize something that used to be a relatively common occurrence back in those days (infact also used to happen in medieval and post medieval - e.g. Trail of tears - times).

You should not compare ancient post-war extermination events with a modern, civilized state exterminating a section of the population in an organized manner. It just dilutes the extremity of what the Nazi's did.
ahahah, so so true!
Feeling have quite a bit to do with hostile work environments. If you feel that your workplace is intimidating, hostile, or abuse because of your membership in a protected class, that is directly related to determining whether a hostile work environment exists. It's not the only criteria.

> The way to examine that possibility is to examine the process and have a discussion about what is fair and proper, not shut down the conversation and exile anyone who brings it up.

I'm not disagreeing with that at all!

> By the way this is exactly what is happening from the other side: white males are supposed to be unfairly advantaged.

That is the allegation, yes. At Google, it may be true, it may not be true. If you feel white men are disadvantaged because there are no special avenues just for them to find coaches/mentors, etc., then fine. I'd disagree that such things disadvantage white men because they don't need or benefit from those specialized avenues the way minority groups do, but that's a different debate.

If white men are in fact being held to a different standard of job performance for same roles at same levels, then yes, that's unethical and illegal. I would not and do not support that, and have personally (in my real-world job) redefined hiring criteria that did this. I have actual skin in the game here.

> I don't hear your side denouncing those sorts of arguments on the basis that it might make some of those white males feel bad to bring up the argument.

Ah, this is "my side." You've turned this into some sort of culture war. I haven't advocated for this person's firing, and I don't state that it was either the right or wrong thing to do as I'm not close enough to the situation. But because I don't immediately take up the banner for him, I'm on the "other side."

Give me a break. This isn't cut-and-dry stuff. That was my original point, and indeed my first sentence in the thread. It was not "this guy is a sexist/racist and everyone who agrees with him needs to shut up."
Not in Germany though. Cash salaries don't exists (outside of temp jobs), cash-back from grocery stores is still new and rare. The ATM withdrawal fees are the actual problem, they have been recently introduced, and they happen no matter which network is being used.

Is anyone else shocked at the low level of adoption of IPv6? I remember how in the late 90s people were saying we were going to run out of addresses and everyone need to migrate to IPv6 ASAP. Now, it seems that IPv4 is going to be around for a long while.

You and that podcast and all your direct replies seem to be taking "being a victim has become an identity to many" or "there is so much social currency connected to being a victim" as axioms. From an outsiders view, that seems like a meme that has spread quite widely, but does not seem to reflect reality.
It's not completely far-fetched, at least not with Reddit. Part of facebook and instagram is social, sure, but Reddit and HN has that with their comments sections too. Another really important part of these sites is novelty seeking, which all of these sites do well.

This is not a disagreement on analysis, but on axioms.

One of the axioms of free society is one of fairness and equality.

Any argument that suggests a treatment should be applied to group X, but not to group Y, is therefore automatically invalid.

Any argument that suggests that a group should be treated differently because of a group tendency is automatically invalid.

Anyone who disagrees with this disagrees with the most fundamental axioms of modern society. Yes, I realize there is an ongoing revolution happening of people that feel that this axiom is wrong, and they should get an advantage over other groups, but I disagree with that fundamentally.

This is an axiom held even higher than the constitutional rights any country grants, as all those derive from this axiom. The reason so many people are angered by actions of both the left and the right is that they feel that this axiom is being attacked.

What? Lyft, NASA, FIFA? Is there a list of major sites that are using Bulma? By your appeal to the bandwagon this makes it an inferior framework?

A basic grid and some buttons are nice for a pet site, it doesn't appear to be a robust enough framework for any site of significant size. I guess I could write the CSS and JS for a modal from scratch, or I could just install Bootstrap and never think about it again.

I think you've just seen an example where "victimhood culture" was called out by someone who benefited from it.
Is your last name Ballmer by chance?
My main problem with this is it is victim blaming, at large. And again, leads to situations such as women and minority pay being significantly lower for no good reason.

At an individual level, it is good actionable advice. At a societal level, it really is just victim blaming. And it is hard to day where the line is between those views.
I wonder what's that hixclient.exe
It would really depend on the work you're doing.

Programs that use single cores, or only a handful of threads won't run four times faster on the 1950X or the i9 compared to your i5. Workloads that can use as many cores as you can throw at it, will naturally benefit from extra cores.

Your i5 has 4 cores, and 1950x has 16 cores, and can execute 32 threads. Unless the architecture was truly inferior (which it's not) that's quite a disparity for your i5 to compete with in highly threaded workloads.

Ryzen's architecture is solid. It can reach competitive clock speeds. The number of cores just add a lot more raw computing power. That's going to be far and away the biggest difference when looking at benchmarks that can use all the cores.
The %cython mode for Sage notebooks (which I wrote in I think 2008??) does precisely that by generating a random-named Python shared object libary and importing it into the runnig Python process after each evaluation. There's a similar (%%cython?) mode for Jupyter notebooks.

Wow, these are great. Especially Ted's Caving Page. It's too bad these sorts of websites are mostly gone...
It's important for package developers to be aware of other software that depends on their interfaces or functionality.

Some cases will slip through sometimes, but over a couple of releases these should be gone.

>> Where do new bugs and vulnerabilities come from? When the main developers add features or make changes to existing features that go beyond fixing bugs.

Do you have stats for that?

Semantic versioning was supposed to be the fix for that, but as Rich Hickey has pointed out, that is also broken.

Everyone is their own server admin these days. We all want "a stable, solid version that has all the latest security fixes" but it's difficult accept that that might be impossible.

Ask HN: Remote Jobs that provide some training
Hi HN,

I've been working as a dev/sysadmin for ~4 years. I've spent all this time working in a small company so the challenges weren't great, and most (devops/sysadmin) positions on my country (Argentina) are more of the same.

I'm looking for a position where I can LEARN, but most remote positions ask for things I can't learn on my own (like optimizing a service for thousands of concurrent users).

I'd be willing to work for a period (3-6 months) for a reduced salary (at least 1k/month, though) if that meant I'd get an opportunity for a position at the end of the training.
Sorry, the interesting like there was supposed to refer to the advice of always sanitize inputs. That, by itself is interesting.

I think the author did a great job of explaining why DHCP feels like a gross hack, because it crosses that boundary.

You say

> No, it's not an ethernet protocol

I mean, obviously it's not, by definition, but let me ask -- why does it have a hardware address in the protocol? Is it maybe because this protocol, like ARP, is a bridge between the layers, and thus this protocol shares more in common with ARP than with IP?

RARP did not allow a lot of the things that DHCP did, but DHCP can be done in an address-aware mode as well (and BOOTP was much more bare-bones than DHCP, and that's closer to contemporaneous with RARP. All you have with BOOTP is the ability to cross broadcast domains, which are themselves a fiction anyway, as the author points out). If we let RARP do the IP assignment, then DHCP can be used to transmit configuration information to the newly assigned host very easily, and it would allow us to cut out the hardware-addressing aspect of DHCP.
My advice would be to stay away from ICOs entirely.

BTC and ETH are the "safest" bets right now. LTC has been really steady and is probably the most sensible investment, but will probably not take off like BTC did.

BCH (Bitcoin cash) is the newest fork of BTC and has been volatile but has a lot of people backing it. I would look it to it at least.

I've been keeping an eye on EOS and DASH but not really sold on them yet.

Biggest advice I can give is - don't let FOMO guide your decisions. Diversify your portfolio and don't micromanage it or keep an eye on the charts all day. You'll drive your self mad.

Also - don't expect to make ANY money of crypto. It's a gamble, like a scratch ticket. Only invest what you can absolutely afford to lose, because chances are you will.
I think they were passed around until someone needed a wedding cake and then they were covered in marzipan and Chobham armour like icing. These were cut up and sent to people to say thanks for giving wedding presents - I can remember eating the marzipan but never the cake or the impenetrable icing.

All Hypercard needed was the concept of an network URI for a target and it could have been the web. Well, that and a version that worked on PC and Unix and a way to make the stacks available to other machines on the network.

Ok, so there was a fair bit of work that would have been required, but they had a big headstart. Of course almost nobody was thinking about the Internet back in the late 80s and early 90s. Bill Gates released a book in 1995 entitled "The Road Ahead" that barely mentioned the Internet at all.

Arguably lambda, monad, etc. are generalizations, not abstractions: http://www.emu.edu.tr/aelci/Courses/D-318/D-318-Files/plbook...

Abstractions that don't leak aren't abstractions, as the essense of abstraction is the simplification and removal of detail. Monad is a generalization of a pattern seen in many places, so it doesn't have to "leak".
