movie rentals and newspapers are small industries, with slow change. i don't think accounting has seen large scale downsizing.

As for retail, i got curious, so: "Stores are closing because of the rise of e-commerce and shifts in how people spend their money," said Deb Gabor, CEO of Sol Marketing a brand/retail strategy consultancy. "Shoppers are devoting bigger shares of their wallets to entertainment, restaurants and technology, and spending less on clothing and accessories." [1]

Retail has revenue per employee of ~$450K. Restaurants have about $150K revenue per employee. So money is shifting to the more labor intensive industries, and maybe this is true even while including tech and entertainment.

But this is just a small scale, relatively to what could be coming. And people's spending patterns may not be so supportive of humans.

I think this is the way to go with data and privacy, and it might be even better than what GDPR provides. Be open with what you collect, who you share it with, and for how long you store it instead of syphoning all the data you can with shady practices (for example, browser extensions capturing your browsing history). In return provide some real benefits, not just services which are used for free (and which are really cheap for this kind of companies, since they spend most on processing data and showing relevant advertising).

Even better, it creates a competition for your data which will drive down margins of ad companies and give you rewards. In this sense it's similar to what we have with airline and credit card rewards.

Q: Do we feel worse about this because tech enabled it?
We are the co-founders of HiDimensional. Very simply, we pair engineering candidates with senior engineers in their field and the senior engineers refer the top candidates to the 40+ top startups on our platform. It's common knowledge that referrals are important in hiring, and we believe this is a more efficient and meritocratic approach to increasing access and impact of referrals.

Would love your feedback and check out our blog post for more info.

Thanks!
> Yes, but maybe some people need a nanny.

As much as a loathe to make the slippery slope argument, who decides where the line is? What is "okay" nannying, and what pushes the envelope? I think there are other ways of encouraging behavior (e.g., non-linear energy pricing for electricity) that don't totally remove free will from the equation.

Every Chrome derived application, including everything Electron, has substantially degraded font rendering compared to native apps on Windows. Just load the same text with the same fonts and look side by side. Best way to describe it would be that the fonts are fuzzier and have less well defined outlines. Must be some kind of hinting + subpixel-AA issue, or Chrome not respecting the system ClearType settings, or whatever. The bug has been there for ages. I wouldn't care if Chrome was the only thing suffering from it, since you can use another browser, but the appearance of good Electron apps like VSCode has made it very painful.

Maybe someday Microsoft will port VSCode to Chakra.

Good catch :) I'm so accustomed to Istanbul being the center of the Turkey's economy and former Ottoman power. However, that does not change the point. Istanbul and the European chunk of Turkey (+ Izmir and Aegean coast which was in "Byzantine" zone of influence) is a huge chunk of Turkey.

> ... that are able to move away freely from each other without feeling stuck in a contract.

I had that right. I freely, gladly, joyfully waived that right. I didn't (and don't) want the right to "move away freely". I wanted (and want) to be permanently committed to her.

27 years later, and it was a really good call...

> The current legal form of marriage formalizes love in a contract that doesn't take into account the fact that love can disappears one day for no reason...

There's love, and there's "love". "Love" is a feeling. Love is action - it's what you do. There have been days when I didn't feel loving toward my wife. I continue to act in ways that do her good, though. The "not feeling loving" doesn't last real long when both sides are committed to doing good to the other.

The main issue is children.

Divorces, when childless and penniless, are typically very quick and comparatively easy.

When there is a lot of money and a poorly written pre-nup or no pre-nup at all, things get very messy very quickly and can drag out for years. However, that is still just a bunch of squabbling over dollars, guest bedrooms, and pink-slips. Judges and society really do not care about that stuff all too much and the laws are somewhat straightforward, though time consuming.

However, when there are children involved, the Judges don't really give a damn about the parents, usually. It is all about the kids, because they are (rightfully to me at least) the core issue. There are many ways to look at this, but I think the 'evolutionary' approach is the most useful one. Societies that put the next generation above all others tend to be the ones that survive, it seems. Sometimes this is at the cost of the parents' happiness. Sometimes, this results in a particular child being less happy, or downright suicidal, in the end. But if you look at the society to be in competition with other societies, you can see why this tactic is 'best'. Is this the right or wrong way for individual people? In an evolutionary approach, who cares? That said, the environment in which societies are 'living' in is in drastic change currently and we should expect to see some drastic changes to societies, including how children are treated and how the next generation propagates in the society space.
There's a lot a wiggle room in saying that your ink is almost out. The simple defense is that they don't want people to have wasted prints, which might happen if the ink for one color actually runs out, so they notify a little earlier. That "little earlier" is vague and relative, giving a lot of defensible ground for a lawyer to work with if it comes to that. Stating you are selling a certain amount of something and not actually delivering that amount is illegal, and fairly cut and dry at that. It's not hard to see why one is more likely to be attempted than the other for a company.
Well, imagine inflammation in your circulatory system. So imagine that there's this partical in your blood stream that your immune system responds to. If you have too many inflammatory responses you could get a blockage. That blockage could lead to a heart attack.

That's one example but these inflammatory responses are also linked to a bunch of diseases. I hope that is a helpful answer.
Oh, that wasn't clear when I originally looked. I'm glad you clarified that.
You can't really have one without the other. It's not really meritocracy if you're excluding a large portion of your candidate pool due to bias.

I agree with all your points except the first two. There is absolutely no reason to teach C before C++. In fact, modern C++ is a very different animal from its C origins, and it's often better to teach the correct C++ idioms first, and then later go into detail on what happens under the hood.

Similarly, C++ is not an OOP language. It's a multi paradigm language, and arguably the generic programming style is better suited to C++ 11 and 14, than the traditional, inheritance heavy OOP style that was in vogue in the 90s.
I think you missed my point. You should not write a check for more money than you have, (you can but you are taking a risk that it will bounce). You do not need a buffer, you need to track your money better. The second that you write a check, it should be deducted from your, (your meaning the record you keep not the banks record), balance. In this scenario, when you wrote the check, the balance would be -$1. That is the problem here. The bank can clear or not clear things in any order, but if your recording is better, you will never have an issue. The benefactor you speak of is your own records, if you do not keep them, you are doing yourself a disservice.

The author didn't considered some obvious correlations, maybe because it would be more difficult to get some data about it.

It looks like that occupations that promote more social interactions are more prone to divorce. I also spotted that occupations with weird or irregular work hours also have higher divorce rates.

I didn't understand what the x-axis means.
To be fair, most people just don't respond as rapidly to anything they are used to. It's the same reason why New Yorkers are not bothered by fire trucks at all and/or fire alarms.

To quote you, "Which is fine, until it isn't". Looking from the outside in, it's easy to question their logic, but i am sure we all have traits that outsiders would wonder why we are so nonchalant about it. It's adaptation, it's human conditioning, it's nature.
> The ability to online-restripe between almost any layout combination is quite useful for example

This is true but since the only stable replication options on BTRFS are RAID1 and single, this online restripe is of very limited usefulness.

I'd _really_ like BTRFS to fix its issues so I could use this reshaping (it's the main feature I'm missing from current filesystems) but it's been years and replication is still unstable.

If they're the same, what difference does it make what name you put on it?

But if they're different... well, my perception is that by "marriage" you mean something permanent, and by "civil union" you mean something at least potentially temporary. When we got married, "temporary" wasn't an option. We wanted to make something permanent, something we weren't going to back out of. That was our intention then, and it's our intention now. Why? Well, maybe I could put it this way. When you find an amazing place with really inexpensive rent, how long of a lease do you want to sign?

We use HiDimensional as one of our primary sources of candidates at Onera. Our hiring funnel would not be the same without them. We ourselves do some first interviews but it also gives us a huge step up against other sources when we know that the candidate comes in vetted by a great engineer at a great company many of whom I might even know personally.
Is it useful to compare a similar situation in the analog world? If the email addressed to you@yourcompany.com was a letter addressed to your company, attn: you what would the expectations of privacy be? Are the 2 situations even legally comparable?

Seriously, what's wrong with the word "Menu"? It barely takes up any space.
Sorry about that. If I could still edit it, I would. The point I was trying to make, while indelicately worded, was meant sincerely. The lecturing tone of the article's title rubbed me the wrong way. I don't appreciate being told that I don't have a valid opinion to offer.
Practically all the advice here is rubbish in my opinion. As a user, allow me to request the following:

* Please do not attempt to make it an objective rating of values

* Please do not make it so I must rank values

* Please do not auto-disallow values based on your interpretation of them (like this 8 PM going-home being incompatible with work/life)

* Please do not list which frameworks they use and whatnot

I like this site because it's simple. When I select a set of values, I get a few matches. I'm not left wondering if I missed out on companies because somewhere in the list of 1024 values there was one I didn't select. And I like that you let teams choose what they think is most important and had a maximum number of values they could select.

Great work.
Please publish/open source the testing criteria, so others can do the test and submit their own results. That would be awesome. I would probably run around the house and test all the phones in my family.

Even something as simple as Github and using pull requests for those that know how to do so (or manually just adding for those that email and don't) would give a lot of introspection, and allow you to share commit bits so people could help (as well as making it easy for people to clone to run analysis on if they desire).

They provide immigration support to anyone who's not a permanent resident or citizen so this isn't particularly surprising. But I guess its worth getting some press.

I use "DejaVu Sans Mono" for a few years because of number of supported languages. It may seem that software developer needs only English, but I actually have to view files in at least three languages, like HTML, XML, JSON, other data files, including localization files.

It's called a DGA or domain generation algorithm, I believe Conficker was one of the first botnet's to use this approach about 10 years ago, it's pretty standard trade craft nowadays.

Are people really that conscious about coding fonts? Maybe it's just me, but I am more concerned with color palettes for the code highlighting more than fonts. I barely notice font differences in most cases. When it comes to fonts, any gun can shoot really. Except Wingdings, where is that font even used?
But according to this theory, it sounds as if one should ask for the receipt afterwards?
> Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Names

So if you take these to heart, even a tiny weekend project will take near infinite time to handle all of these cases.

It would require infinite space, every possible supported character set, a massive fuzzy-logic search engine, etc.

Humans handle complexity by avoiding it until it becomes a pressing need. The first pass at understanding is always an oversimplified model. Usually we make additional passes, hopefully with progressively more nuanced and educated models.

Knowing that your system will run into problems in the future is sometimes enough. Deferring problems until they are actually significant business impacts is a reasonable strategy.

This applies to "Falsehoods Programmers Believe About {Names, Addresses, Phone Numbers, etc}".

Good time to remind people about the previously false accusations from the Yankees on the Blue Jays sign stealing using a "Man in White" sitting the outfield with binoculars.

The interesting part here is that the Yankees alleged the "Man in White" was positioned right above the pitcher's head in the outfield seats so that the batter did not have to move his head in order to see the signal.

I can't imagine the logistics and speed required to relay a signal from the outfield -> dugout -> batter in a reasonable amount of time to be able to hit.

The study concluded that low carbohydrate, high fat diets did not cause inflammation, whereas high carbohydrate, high fat diets did.

Since they only tested LCHF and HCHF, the High fat part is the control, leading to the logical conclusion that the high carb part is responsible.

The new title is probably a bit misleading since they didn’t test Low carb low fat, so you can’t conclude that it’s the combination of HCHF, at least not with this study.

That seems consistent with the original title that sugars cause inflammation, no?

I've always thought it would be cool to use large area traceroutes and BGP dumps to automatically infer some topology data too, automatically creating such a map.
Every time work/life balance comes up I get so damn annoyed with this uniquely tech-centric viewpoint.

You've got people bringing home $150-350k/yr plus every imaginable perk fretting over the idea of putting in more than 40 hours a week. Even high-skilled high-pay workers (medicine, legal, and finance come to mind) put in lots of hours without whimpering about finding a balance, much less the vast percentage of the population who hold blue-collar jobs and clamor for overtime pay.

If someone doesn't feel they should work more than 40 hours, then by all means don't take that job, but please drop the damn sense of entitlement. This bubble will not last forever and one's ability to crank out an Uber-for-X clone in NodeJS won't always pay the bills.

I actually thought of it. But I believe that although reddit can be a great platform but it comes with certain limitations.

With so many things going on in blockchain and cryptocurrecnices at so many fronts, a subreddit would give preference to only popular things. That is why I have added tags (Needs more improvement though), so that a person can look at his interest specifically.

We can also add New ICOs section, something similar to SHOW HN to cover ICOs as well.

And also web generally gives free hand to lead the project as you and your users want to compared to a subreddit. And as a programmer I love that feeling. :)
I'd like to read this, but Blogspot is absolutely the most reading-hostile service of which I'm aware. Its "dynamic" formats most especially.

Not only do these defy all readability within a browser, they break fallbacks: console clients (w3m, elinks, etc.), or readability alternatives (Pocket, Instapaper, Outline.com).

Please just don't use Blogspot. And don't use the dynamic styles if you must.

People started moving away from Solaris/SPARC in droves as soon as Oracle acquired Sun.

An example: the "old" Sun gave me a loaded T1000 system to run SUNHELP.ORG on.

The "New" Sun wouldn't even give me Solaris patches / security updates (which used to be free) without a support contract.

I had to eventually move the site to being hosted on a Debian box because I couldn't afford the hundreds of dollars they wanted every year for patch access.

It really chapped my hide. I'd even been part of the external OpenSolaris release team.
Well a lot of people who dislike math do so because they think its all about rote calculation. Not just times tables, even algebra can be seen as a completely syntactic procedure - memorizing a bunch of rules. Another example - if you are taught 10 different "templates" of problems and solutions in calculus class and memorize which equations to apply where, you can solve a lot of problems without ever building any intuition.

If someone thinks of math that way, I can understand why it would be boring to them. Thats what I mean by blocked on arithmetic. If every thing is taught as a cookie-cutter process to follow its not surprising that people associate math with blindly following processes.
