Ypu also need to have the modal setup the focus correct in the first input(or the one that makes sense), usually GUI libraries have a property for tab index that specify how focus changes when you press Tab, bootstrap seems to not properly setup the focus and I had to write code to fix that.
It is not impossible to write such code but I am sure the code you will write in 10 minutes will not be good enough, my point is this modal feature should be native and not have people re-invent it,
Also what if you want to allow resize or move, then you get again more and more code that is reinvented each time.
IMHO is the same issue as with the dropdown/select , when you need a dropdown that has icons or something that the native one is not good enough it is easy to write one yourself, soem divs, some events but this 10 minutes dropdown will have missing feature or issues, like corner cases when the popup thing goes outside the screen or conflicts with something else,or the thing that opens contains 6 and half entries and if you want to look good you need to put more work into it, then if you want support for arrow keys more work, or if you want the feature where the user presses the first letters and selection jumps down to the correct item even more code, my point is basic implementations are fast, good enough implementation like you have in Qt,Flex, WPF is a lot more work and we do not have a standard way of doing it, and the developer needs to research what library works with the current stack he uses
It might be crossing into the prepper territory too much but I'm really happy to have a 2 meter radio in my car/handheld tranceiver in my bag.

Aren't first aid kits mandatory in cars in the US and don't you have to get first aid training as part of your driver's licence?
I just use a simple bookmarklet that I label 'Make Narrow':

javascript:(function(){var%20b=document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0];b.style.maxWidth='50em';b.style.marginLeft='auto';b.style.marginRight='auto';})()

Just manually create a new bookmark and put that as the URL, then when you click it, it runs that snippet and make the body have a max-width of 50em.

> An icebreaker is meant to go charging through and in some cases even over ice.

There seems to be confusion in that sentence, an icebreaker "goes through ice" meaning it works in a region with ice not literally plowing through the ice. Although if the ice is loose and floating yes but an icebreaker is designed with a sloped bow that rides up onto ice and then the ship's weight pushes down breaking the ice. No ship pushes through ice it would be like trying to push on two ends of an egg.

My dad worked for the Canadian Coast Guard for 33 years. He said for really thick ice (several meters) they'd sometimes have to use the ship's crane with a large cement block and pound at the ice at the sides of the ship. The crane is normally used for buoys. Sea ice, pack ice is like concrete great in compression but fails when a multi 100 ton ship in sitting on top (to a limit).

This was the ship my dad served on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CCGS_Earl_Grey

I think it's hard to avoid a lawsuit. An interview process that uses visual input to help it decide who to hire? It almost doesn't matter what else it considers - you'll have difficulty explaining to folk how it is not discriminating in some nefarious way.
Well, you do not have to drink it regularly, only during the emergency.
>This company should remove this product from the market immediately. How this passed off as a good idea all the way through the product development cycle is beyond me.

It sounds like you are assuming that businesses are supposed to act like a single human with ethics and a moral compass should. I agree with your conclusion but to ponder how this passed off as a good idea is silly. If I could come up with software to sell to businesses to replace a huge amount of their recruiting cost (people, time, operational cost) wouldn't I be inclined to do business with them?

Consider a company global company, when you look at hiring at scale it becomes easy to justify streamlining the whole process.

I still find it like a bad direction to go but what do you expect?
In Israel about one tenth of the population has undergone combat training, and I suppose about one twentyith of those are combat medics (including myself). We get no tax breaks or other incentives, but when the once-in-ten-years emergency pops up, we are quite appreciated.

From talking to other medics, I see that most of us carry simple useful tools, such as a cloth triangle, everywhere we go. And we're well-versed in improvising.
popup blocking does still work, after all.

The other interesting thing about the Sagrada Familia is that Gaudi based the primary structure on catenary structures.

Off the top of my head, I believe he first made weighted string assemblies of the vaults, such that the string structure is held in perfect tension from the gravitational force of its own weight.

Then by casting the resulting shape in concrete, and flipping the shape over, the resulting structure is optimized for compression. The tensile structure reflects the force of gravity on the string assembly - it is "optimized" for its own weight, so when flipping it over, and swapping the tension members for compression members, we know this new structure is perfectly shaped to distribute internal and self-weight for compression.
Where can I get this :)
No and no.

Do note that the licensing is done at the state level, so there are 50+ similar standards, not just one.
I haven't found anything specifically about this, but Margot Lee Shetterly started researching the book in 2010 and sold movie rights in 2014. I also found a photo of the (human) computers from a lecture she did in 2014. So it seems like there was enough publicity then to get the attention of the Obama administration?

I'm not trying to be flip. You didn't really write anything substantive. I'm happy to respond if you want to say something more than "I think what you're describing is ridiculous."
Academia has put its nose up far in the air, it's become a career-crime to write anything for the public, so it falls to journalists to explain scientific results. Gladwell did a good job, then got manure tossed at him from scientists for daring to speak their results; and laypeople who flatly misunderstood what he said, or never read the articles/books and imagined what he said.

But the root problem is inequality - science has begun to see itself as an immaculate priesthood that mustn't mix with the plebs. Scientists should have been presenting their results to the public, but snobbishness now prevents this.

Sounds trollish but my point is that Californians in particular eventually need to square this neo-survivalism with their long-standing desire to create a gun-free society.

You should not assume friendly cooperation in a crisis. You should assume people will do what they have to do or have always wanted to do.

The Bay Area in particular is deeply polarized and we should assume the worst if law enforcement is temporarily absent
Nothing surprising. At least they state it officially in the law. But Western goverments approach providers to open backdoors (e.g. Lavabit case) and keep users fooled that they still have any anonimity.

My dogs eat a lot of animal protein, but from what I can tell it's not anything anyone might really want to eat. That or the products leverage old waste or by-products.

For example, fish skin leftover from processing sea food. Cow esophagus. Pizzle. Or the little bits of meat and connective tissue left on a carcass after butchering ground up into a 'stew' along with vegetables that didn't pass muster for human consumption.

I also give my dogs ribs and knuckles, though it's not always easy to find bones at the grocer any more. Most people just want boneless, bloodless shrink-wrapped steaks, whether that's beef, chicken or pork.

BuckleScript is an OCaml to JS compiler. So you can convert your code into JS and run it from Node. Or, you can simply compile it into native OCaml binary and run it just like you run a C or GoLang binary.

The choice would depend on whether you use libraries from the npm ecosystem, or from the OCaml ecosystem.
Try using WeChat every day for a few months and then tell me again they're not leading the pack. I don't even use it in China (where it's power is significantly higher than everywhere else), yet even ignoring features that only work in China, it is by far the most powerful messaging client currently available.
The story is in fact called "The Girl from Plainville" -- the title you note is the webpage title.
That's why it's important to make sure people with significant variety in their backgrounds are involved in the process. Otherwise you run into situations where, for example, a team of designers doesn't discover their motion activated soap dispenser doesn't work on people with dark skin until after it's been produced, sold, and used.

For cats, the corn, grain, and otherwise carb-filled cat foods that dominate store shelves and are cheaply available are absolutely terrible. Cats are obligate carnivores and aren't built to deal with that kind of food composition at all. Some cats deal with it better than others, but generally feeding your cat these cheap foods will result in it becoming very obese and highly prone to several types of disease.

I don't go as far as some pet owners, buying frozen pet food from Whole Foods and the like, but I do buy my cat high quality meat-based grain-free dry cat food. It's a little pricey but a 9lb cat eating proper amounts of protein doesn't eat much and a large bag lasts a long time. Just make sure to get a good airtight container to keep the food in.

I'd say that globalization often causes losses for the poorest and gains for the richest, but that overall it increases the amount of wealth coming into the country.

Therefore ending globalization would help the poor at the expense of the rich, but you could also just take money from the rich and give it to the poor. Since globalization brings more money into the country overall there must be some level of redistributive taxation that makes globalization better than non-globalization.

Well, for one I live in Colorado, not the Bay Area.

Two, you're assuming that I also don't have a firearm. I actually don't, but you're still making a big assumption that whoever you try to steal from can't fight back. How much overlap do you think there is between emergency preparedness and firearm possession? Certainly in Colorado, even Boulder, that's not a bet I would be willing to take.

This is a situation where you get one shot, since emergency services likely won't be able to save you if you get shot. If you've got a handgun but I've got a pump-action shotgun packing buckshot, I would have a decent shot since I only need to aim in your general direction but you have to aim pretty well, in a stressful situation that you've probably never been in. Ever shot someone?

Three, consider what you're honestly suggesting here. I'm not anti-firearm, but I am against the the disgusting sentiment you espouse in that post.

At best, this is a way to sweep unaccountable decision-making under the carpet of "the software said so". Quite likely, though, is that such products will make society a living hell for everyone until these practices are entrenched in the industry and it is too late to roll it all back.

Just because they illegally took the evidence collected? Than they would have closed the case before now.
(: these aren't the droids you're looking for. taking down the internet (or specific pockets of it) via BGP is not a question of method, it's a question of access. BGP hijacking can be easily done by computer science grad students... state actors would not need to test a "cyberweapon" that messes with BGP routes.

edit: the point being, how to do it is not an issue. they're not in the position to do it. ...but if you were thinking of censorship or outright disruptive terrorism via BGP, you'd be looking for infiltrating network operator jobs, not developing an attack. the attacks themselves are trivial, well-documented, and often happen accidentally.

Why is digital so conversation obsessed (clicks/purchases) and not focused as much on the branding values (CPM)?

They don't share chips, and the GBC should be much more powerful than the NES.

The NES had a CPU based on the MOS Technology 6502 running at around 1MHz, 2KB of RAM, 2 screens of video tile memory, and 2 sprite layers, with support for 64 sprites, max of 8 per line.

The GBC had a CPU loosely based on a Z80 running at about 4 or 8MHz, 32KB of RAM, smaller resolution, more colors available (and more displayable on-screen at once), fewer sprites (40), but more displayable on one line (10).
I disagree: While you cannot have a clock travelling alongside the photon, you can have a family of clocks travelling along light-like trajectories that have the photon trajectory as its limit.

But as I was alluding to with my 'tomayto, tomahto' remark, this is a question of semantics, and we're not really arguing about physics, but labels.
We can talk for hours about consciousness in the sense "what it is like to be bacterium", and it will lead us nowhere, or, better to say, it will lead us all over the place. Ask different philosophers.

On the other hand we can agree that we can sufficiently easily distinguish conscious and unconscious human, dog or other mammal. From here we can study which parts of a brain participate in conscious activities, and maybe generalize it for species further away from us.

I don't think calling these talking points is all that helpful. To put this in a larger context: most historical films are not very accurate and will irritate people who care (for whatever reason) about historical accuracy.

But that's how movies work. You just have to let it go. If the movie makes you curious about what really happened, read the book.
