Hey Matt. It's been forever.

Good to see this then. Some folks I know who live around there told me they weren't part of the process. I suppose that's wrong, given this.

What Arguello is saying there is pretty... pretty strange. Certainly Japantown's leadership has been working to make their district less of a theatrical tourist show and more livable for the actual community of folks around there, and has been investing more time in outreach via local cultural outlets (which is why the temple festivals have been getting bigger and more public, I guess?).

IDK though, I only pass by these communities periodically now since I moved out of the city.
The main selling point of web components is that they are built using platform features and so they should be compatible with each other.

So in theory I should be able to mix and match web-components that are built using stencil, skatejs, polymer, or any other future opinionated web component library.

So is this also possible in practice and specifically can I mix stencil generated components with polymer ones (say use a paper-button inside a stencil compoenent) ?

I actually came across this yesterday and set it as a system font on my Linux machine, which runs Elementary.

Although I don't have a HIDPI display, it is nicer and (subjectively) more readable than what I've tried before (I still use Fira Code for coding and Fira Mono inside the terminal, but for the UI tried various variations of Fira, Roboto and other sans serif fonts, yet none of them stuck).

>you either spend a day or waste a day, you can't save up time while unemployed and spend it later

Except human capital is, from the economy's point of view, like money in your bank account: if you have none to spare, you cannot absorb increases in demand (to personalize it, say you have $100 per month for gasoline - if the price doubles, you can buy half as much for the same money .. you have no cushion to absorb that change).

Just about every economist I've read over the last 20+ years (ranging from the 1700s to now) agrees there, more or less - regardless of the school they adhere to: if you're operating with no margin of error, you experience the booms and busts less well than if you have a margin.

Unemployment is a form of margin in this context. Say there's 100,000 employable people, but 5,000 of them are unemployed. When demand for labor spikes by anything less than 6%, there is an "instant" buffer to bring onboard while new employable labor is "spun-up" (via training, growing old enough to work, etc).

>Economists prefer a minimum level of unemployment because it effectively prevents labour organisation being used to drive up wages.

Pretty sure you have that backwards: the lower the unemployment, the more wages are likely to rise. If your unemployment is too high, wages will fall (or remain stagnant).

Regulations and bureaucracy. Some of it is justifiable, but a lot of it is probably not responsible for saving any lives. You can legally sell, buy, and fly an aircraft that doesn't pass most of these certification procedures; but for some reason you can not make a business of operating it.

In my humble opinion, the FAA does a lot more than an air regulatory agency should[0].

Since plane crashes are rare enough, the government litigates against everyone who ever worked on your plane if somebody ever dies in connection with it, and unless you can prove it was user error (expensive in its own right), you will end up paying millions in settlements and process. These costs are added at every level of the supply chain.

The FAA process could seem to make aviation safer if aviation technology never had to change ever again; but because there is so much to be done in private aviation that won't ever be done because of the cost of certifying craft with new technology; there's a good chance that safety devices have been held up by the process as well.

Wow that's a big time difference. Why? Is it due to the extra speed the bike gives you or because you're not avoiding inclines...?
I understand. That's why I mention it as one of the downsides of D. It's probably subjective, but I like to see the types of function signatures. It serves as documentation, and makes it easier for me to say, "What does this function return, and what can I do with it?"
This project seems to convert the PDF into an image before doing the semantic annotation, so it would work on scans as well. This doesn't give you the text, but it gets you halfway there. The other half is can be done by passing the discovered regions into an OCR engine to pull out the text.

The one time I needed to turn a scanned PDF (600+ page book) into searchable text, I used this Ruby script https://github.com/gkovacs/pdfocr/ , which pulls out individual pages using pdftk, turns them into images to feed into an OCR engine of your choice (Tesseract seems to be the gold standard) and then puts them back together. It can blow up the file size tremendously, but worked well enough for my use case. (I did write a very special purpose PDF compressor to shrink the file back, but that was more for fun.)
To me, a native-english speaker from Britain, it groups like:

A disproportionate sans serif without any letter spacing. It's free though, so better than nothing.

Edit: Dear downvoters, what I am saying is that you can take any ramdom sans serif, reduce the letter-spacing and you end up with a similar looking font face which might be even more balanced. Despite my criticism, I expressed my high appreciation that the creator offers his work for free. If you disagree let me know why instead of downvoting, maybe I am wrong and missed something.

> People who are succesful did 99 mediocre side projects before they hit the jackpot.

This x100000. This is fundamentally it; just like how we love to talk about 10,000 hours and targeted practice, so too can we extend this concept to startups. You just have to throw (and attempt) a bunch of ideas at the wall until one of them sticks, and learn along the way.

I used to get so bent out of shape that my side project wasn't a massive success or that I'm not a young prototypical YC founder straight out of college on the fast track to entrepreneurship. When I took a step back, realized that most founders (even outside of the tech bubble) are older than 35, and have tried (and failed) at a lot of different startups...you then embrace that it's just all about executing and learning from as many projects as possible. It takes out a lot of the stress and anxiety about succeeding, and instead using your side projects as practice to get you to that great idea in your future.

When did that happen? Was it done to make the company more attractive to buyers, to protect profits, or for idealistic reasons?
What you are suggesting is like designing how a hotel will look before you know where it will be or how big it will be.

It's completely backwards. You can kind of do it, but it's a huge waste of time and money.

Apple did not do that because they "knew what they would need, so let's get started", they did that because they had no clue how to make a self driving car, but despite that, the team needed to show something, anything.
Reminds me of how I had to take feeder roads and turn off the freeway during bad traffic when my shitty old toyota would overheat if I couldn't get good airflow into the radiator :P
As a cyclist another large issue I have with google maps is a suggested route's overlay having no transparency, so it's not possible to tell which parts of the route are indeed safer bike lanes and not just riding in traffic.

I find myself constantly getting directions, then cancelling the navigation so I can once again see indicated bike lanes and adjust accordingly. A slight opacity on the route indicator would be a godsend.
it still is... not every network is willing to pay for the back end to support it.
Excellent question.

Poe was created because back in 2012 when I upgraded to Windows 8, there were no distraction free / focus writing apps in the store, and none of the existing ones (like the stupendous writemonkey) had a fullscreen mode that would play nice with Windows 8's app switching. This wasn't any fault of the developers of those apps - MS gave switching priority to 'metro' apps, so anything that was win32/64 was a second-citizen (of course this changed with 10, but at the time they were committed). I was learning how to write store apps, I wanted a writing app on my surface. I saw an opening, and I took it. Everything I've done since has been built upon that first app.

Fast forward five years and I have lots of users who like the app (40k or something), but all my code is JS, built upon the Windows UWP/JS stack. It's what I know best.

I really do want to build an app for Linux, and for macOS. I have bad days where I'm totally put off, because there are some fantastic writing apps out there already that do so much more than Poe can (FocusWriter, for example, does everything Poe does and is already cross-platform, and has features that I can only dream of).

But on good days, I feel like maybe having a choice of apps is a good thing, and maybe there are things about Poe that people like over other apps, and maybe the good people of linux and macOS might actually use it. On those good days, I continue my work on porting to Electron as a cross-platform MVP. I know some people won't like that, but I am time limited, as I pointed out in another comment. This is the only way I'll have time to do it short of quitting my full-time job, abandoning my in-progress novels and selling my family on ebay.
Is cc theft lumped in with "identity" theft? I have had my cc stolen numerous times, but nobody has assumed my identity in order to obtain lines of credit or travel with a passport in my name. My information was in the massive US Personnel Office data breach, but as far as I know, my SSN isn't being used by anyone [yet].

Codemod – A library to assist with large-scale codebase refactoring
right, nobody was ever intended to use the raw protocol details directly... those details were intended to support an API that looked like using in-process objects (well, perhaps in-process objects with methods declared as 'async').
Interesting that they list "iTunes Connect internal testflight" as a supported distribution method (in addition to external testflight). That must surely be against some kind of terms of service and developer agreement. Also, it's a pretty bad idea either way because you would have to grant the testers access to your iTunesConnect. :O
I use Lyx to write, well, almost everything honestly. It was made for writing imo. Leaving all the time wasting details for the core processor not for the author to stress over. It just lets you focus on simply writing the content.
I'm not a systemd fan, quite the opposite however I have often found package manager, service management clis less than friendly so I regularly write a little wrapper script just to provide a short cuts to my most used functions.

The package management system regardless of distro is pkg the the service management is serv. This would also be helpful if you are using more than one system and needn't be complicated.

I have tried Rust in the past, though not on this particular hobby project (my Clojure interpreter). I found it hard to get into, and I've gotten into a lot of languages in my time-- some of which are considered challenging (e.g. Haskell). With Rust, I always felt I spent too much time wrestling with it, and not enough time being productive. I imagine that you hit a threshold at some point and that begins to change. But for my side projects, that bar wasn't worth jumping.
What they really are is subjective. But, they have grown fairly large (4500 employees, 14 countries) and still maintained an image of being in a quality tier above a body shop.

They are typically brought in to do marquee type projects, so you can imagine animosity from developers at their clients...they didn't get to do said project, because their boss hired it out.

It could be that their quality isn't great, but even if it is, they would still see criticism from that crowd.

you could read some of DFW's short stories to understand his style a bit.

other than that, don't be too afraid -- Infinite Jest is intentionally complicated and convoluted, being a bit confused is part of the experience. even if you aren't quite sure what's going on in every chapter, the writing is gorgeous and funny even on a sentence-by-sentence basis.

You'll meet one character, then move on to another character, then return to the first character four hundred pages later. You'll read footnotes on footnotes that refer to other footnotes. There will be plays on words that appear on page 20 and then are reprised on page 600. Extended metaphors are introduced and return without warning.

Just start reading it, and if it gets too hard, put it down a bit. It's still a book for entertainment (the whole story is _about_ entertainment), so don't treat it too much like it's homework. just have fun with it :)

The end of the US dollar international convertibility to gold did not happen until August 15, 1971.

It is also exactly the year inflation took off like a rocket - see the "Cumulative Inflation" graph. And the standard of living for the middle class (at least in the US) began to stagnate (up to this day).

That would require it to be controlled, really. People recommend certain books because they're good. Word of mouth advertising.

You can't just take word of mouth and automate it and productize it somehow. That kills its nature.
I hope this stays on HN despite the occasional moratorium on political content.

"Rails is a ghetto" returns fruitful links, fyi. It's a classic.
See also, the related phenomenon of a company introducing a new, notionally superior product line at a higher price than the original, then somewhat later discontinuing the original, while never reducing the price of the new one. This results in the cheapest available product becoming more expensive, without this appearing in inflation statistics.

I have the most exposure to this in the realm of medical products. A family member has Type I diabetes, and so must continually buy insulin and blood testing supplies as an everyday expense; several times, he has been forced to switch products (between varieties of insulin, from purely chemical test strips to ones with an electronic reader, &c.) by the discontinuance of the older product. The new one is always much more expensive, and never reduces in price to match the old; this has resulted in a significant increase in his expenses for these supplies, despite nothing ever occurring that would appear in inflation statistics.

"The language doesn't come with [a hash table implementation] included"

The standard library does come with a half-baked hash table implementation[1] (hcreate/hdestroy/hsearch) that only allows creation of _one_ global hash table. GNU libc[2] adds hcreate_r/hdestroy_r/hsearch_r that allows multiple tables to be created.

The APIs are strange and antiquated. On the other hand, the hash table implementation described in the article presents a much nicer interface.
