I see what you're getting at, but these are two different things. The vast majority of humanity as a whole is just not capable of sitting down and chewing through a deep learning textbook or anything of the sort.

What you're ignoring is just how accessible streaming is as an income method. Up until recently, all you needed was the equipment (< $2000-3000 - sometimes paid for by sponsors, often equipment that people already have in modern times) and to be half-way charismatic in order to get into it.

Add in the promise of big money and 'superstars' and now every kid wants to ~be in a band~ be a streamer.
Why do you think best paper award articles make good reading for beginners? It's usually quite the opposite, they require a good knowledge of the field they contribute to.
Even several years ago there were libraries on github that accounted for iOS defects. However, that aside, just skip the resize on iOS and send as-is. The server still has to verify the result anyway.
Exactly, execution is everything. Ideas are, at best, a head start. People tend to focus too much on the idea and not the value proposition. Remember, people will always buy a "better" life, you just have to make sure you can give it to them.
Show HN: Spectacle v4 – Write Your Presentations with React
Sanity isn't a visual programming tool. You can write Sanity applications using JavaScript and whatever tech you want (React, Node.js, etc.).

To provide some background: Your typical modern web application typically revolves around a central CRUD API that you then build apps on top of. You'll typicall have a web app and maybe a native mobile app. But you also need an "admin app" that provides content editing, login, role-based security, and so on.

One option is to use an off-the-shelf CMS. These are almost invariably big, antiquated monoliths that want to be your entire technology stack. Most CMSes not only want to be the system for managing the content, they also want to do the delivery, through some kind of templating system that force you to write your application inside the CMS. I've never met a developer who likes their CMS.

Since CMSes suck so much, companies also very commonly roll their own content management from scratch, which means you spend an awful amount of time writing common stuff unrelated to your core app — database CRUD code, APIs, role-based security, and so on. Rails took off because it was so easy to define your data model and get the CRUD API off the ground. But you still have to do the admin UI; you still have to wire up all those forms, enforce data validation, build complicated things like photo upload and countless other things. And you have to do it all over again for the next app. No admin is reusable.

Sanity turns this upside down; it adopts a "data first" philosophy. First, you get a general-purpose data store for storing your content. It's an advanced document-oriented, transactional data store that comes with live change feeds, strict schema validation, and fine-grained permissions and an expressive query language called GROQ, which is reminiscent of (but different from) GraphQL. This data store replaces your ad-hoc CRUD API.

The second part is the Content Studio. This is a modern, extensible, customizable JavaScript framework that renders a content editing UI on top of the backend data. The UI has been designed from the ground up for the data store, and supports live collaborative, Google Docs-style editing. It's implemented in React.

So with those two building blocks, you get a way to store data and edit it, but Sanity leaves everything else to you. You can use whatever technology stack (Rails, PHP, Django, etc.) to develop your front end apps, as long as you use the data store.

Disclosure: I work on the Sanity open-source data store, called Gradient. However, I'm not directly involved in the Sanity project, so the above is just my personal perspective.

Ah sorry I misunderstood you. We keep the original image around and provide different sizes for different platforms/resolutions/dpis/etc.
We've seen severe problems and gross negligence in American, French and Dutch reactors, as well. Oh, and in German ones, of course. And let's not forget about Japan who must certainly be counted among the "well governed and highly successful" ones. The examples are legion.

I do understand that less nuclear means more coal and that this is a difficult decision.

But nuclear fans claiming that the problem with nuclear reactors is just "stupid Russians" disqualify themselves immediately.
Meh. This is the same administration which politicized the NFL, and continues to politicize climate science and basic reality itself. Anything you say or do that comes remotely close to holding them accountable will be decried as a political attack. Any evidence of corruption is fake news.

I'm not buying it. Pai is as slimy as they come, and everyone knows it. We are going to figure out who was responsible for stuffing the FCC public comment forum with dead people's comments no matter how much Pai screams about it. We are going to find where this blatantly corrupt man's kickbacks are coming from. That isn't politics. That's justice.
I suggest that the undergrads be encouraged to go to Arxiv and browse papers, try to work through them and see the range of papers.

The reason for this is that many papers aren't all that well written and well argued. Many are, to be sure, but it will get undergrads to understand what is clear, what is not.

It will also ensure that they are not intimidated by papers and the math on them. They should know they can dive into one and learn something and come out the other end.

But if you want specific recommendations, I find that the HCI (Human Computer Interaction) papers are very readable. Maybe its the people drawn to the field?

Here is just a random example:

A few years ago some videos of women getting $5,000 tips in video chat made the front page on reddit - I had never heard of it but stripping/performing sex acts on camera in chat rooms for tips is a sizeable business. Some people were tipping just for acknowledgement of their typing in a comment to the performer. Reddit probably was being used as viral advertising for it back then and now.

It actually seems better for the performers than stripping in a club - they don't have to risk contact with patrons, more control of working conditions and I assume they get to keep a lot more of their income.
Your argument is a decade out of date. The german move away from nuclear power was immediately motivated by the Fukushima catastrophe. So at the very least, you should include reasons why Japan's safeguards were always substandard, and how everyone knew that, and how something like that cannot possibly happen in an actually advanced society like Germany, France, or Ontario.
I'd say they're using the best for the financial viability of Mozilla. Which in turn is for the best of their users.
Architect + Technologist here.

When I saw the OMA and DS+R logos on your marketing site, I thought no way it's the Architecture firms...prob some niche technology companies in Europe.

But lo and behold, you guys did build their new websites! For the HN crowd, OMA and DS+R are at the top of the field...as a tech analog maybe comparable to Stripe and OpenAI.

I've been diving deep into the finding the right headless CMS and so far have found most either lacking or too expensive (Contentful anyone?). At the moment, hacking away at Netlify's React CMS, but it's a struggle.

Excited to check out your product especially since it's used for architecture firms I love and respect!
Yes, I know you are correct. I choose the word "spoiled" as a shorthand for the fermentation process. It is "spoiled" in the same sense that yoghurt and cheese are "spoiled" milk. Not entirely accurate, but perhaps more descriptive to those who don't know what it is.

In retrospect, I should have used "fermented" rather than "spoiled."
Because there is no collateral.
The voting record of the house is clear: The fact that something does not exist like a coherent plan for Obamacare repeal is not a reason not to vote for it. The evidence indicates that some members believe voting is like "liking" on Facebook. Consequences are entirely virtual. Until they are not anymore.

It is worth noting that Congress members may be worried about keeping some private things private. That may act as a real check.
Hi. Apart from deeply empathizing with you, I have to say there are millions of men who suffer similar problems because there’s extremely little empathy for them. Ex: PyCon, James Damore and GitHub. If you want people to develop empathy for men (which are often at the bottom of the priority list, below women and dogs), MRM movements need more highly competent people and money. Check out what the CAFE organization does or the movie The Red Pill. I don’t exactly know what you should do immediately but realizing it’s a billion-people-problem is the first step.
Wow really? Is there room for another image processing library? Is ImageMagic poorly written or is image manipulation inherently risky?

Congrats to the Sanity team on launching!

I have a vested interest in this (I work on the open-source data store used internally by Sanity), but I genuinely think Sanity is a game-changer in the CMS space.
Judging by the comments, I could be in a minority, but to me this version feels slower.

There is a noticeable lag before first paint of the page. This is specially visible if you have a fast site. I was able to click through links on the site with no lag, now there is a small, but noticeable lag.

Also, where did the "Restore tabs" button go from the homepage?

EDIT: Also, it looks like my fans are running more often, so CPU usage could be higher as well.
At uni, one of my physics profs allowed us to bring our own cheat sheet into exams. The point wasn't to cram it full of everything in super tiny writing, but to think about what should go on it and how to organize it. The thought process makes a bigger difference than having the cheat sheet.
A different kind of school can leave you prepared to exploit a different kind of gap. If that gap is the one that is currently widening, then being positioned to exploit it can be a wise choice, in two ways.

First, it can be wise for you. There's a lot of money to be made in filling that gap.

Second, though, it can be wise for society. That gap is growing because there aren't enough people going into that area to keep up with demand. That is, society needs more people doing that. It can help society function to have people meet that need.
What?!?

.NET is one of the technology stacks with better UI designers.

The granularity is up to each user, none is enforced.

I personally just stick to base domains usually. When a site is broken, allowing one or two 3rd-party base domains is often just enough to fix it.

If you want to go subdomain-granularity, this is your choice -- it's not forced on you. Some even go as far as subdomain/type (the cells in the middle).
Heh, I went to that school and I had the same problem: literally everyone would ignore me because I went to a Midwest state school.

I went and did my own thing so my story is fine. But I wonder about how much good talent is ignored just on the basis of where one went to college.
We would also have quite a few uninhabitable areas if we let Silicon Valley startup types dabble with nuclear reactors.

I'm dealing with slick and pretty consumer apps.

Getting winforms to be pretty is not reasonable. With WPF, you can get the pretty, and then trying to get it to perform reasonably where no browser would break a sweat will drive you to distraction.

And UWP, well don't get me started. Perpetually half-baked, trying hard to push a design system (whatever they're calling metro these days) that isn't popular, isn't thought through, and is so low in information density that I can't even imagine pulling off Spotify with it. And you end up shackled to the Windows Store, the sandbox, and a mobile-style execution lifecycle.

I think your situation is very much connected to the current wave of revelations of wrong doing against (mostly) women.

Every time one of these celebrities denies a true accusation it causes a whole new wave of damage not only to the victim but, to every person who will ever have to fend off a wrongful accusation, because it muddies the waters and creates FUD.

Yes, the data suggests the percentage of false accusations is small. However it burns me when people suggest bringing it up at all diminishes the bigger issue of assaults on women. In fact I think they enhance each other because they’re both about seeking clarity and justice.

I’ve seriously heard people debate the death penalty by arguing, that the possibility of executing an innocent person is not one of the big issues because, that probably happens small percentage of the time. Scared the crap out of me to hear it articulated by a real person.

Some media outlets have chosen to be critical of Louis CK’s response to the accusations against him. They think they are advocating for women, when actually they’re doing all of us a huge disservice.

Focusing on the quality of apologies is a red herring. Only two things matter, the crime and the truth getting out about crime. Judge his apology/non apology anyway you like, at least he ended it decisively, instead of propagating it for enternity by sowing doubt.
Higgs Boson Explained by Cartoon (2012)
current state... seems to me that this has been normal for a very long time.
What you're referring to were societal/cultural issues and artificial limitations to education.

I'm referring purely to the quality of higher education for the price that was paid. Accounting for inflation, in real terms the price that was paid for college was a small fraction of what is being paid today. And anyone (who was not subject to artificial limitations on access) could pay for it in a very reasonable amount of time and not go into debt by working, as I showed in that link, ~250 hours a year at minimum wage to pay tuition - tuition assumed to be for one semester, not two - so double that to ~500 hours a year at minimum wage to pay for the whole cost of that year's tuition. That's extremely affordable and no one had to go into debt to do it. In fact my father did exactly this in the early 80's. He worked part time and went to school and had no debt upon graduating.
Idk, $375 million per annum through 2019 despite a declining user base, with the ability to leave the agreement at any time if Yahoo was acquired without incurring any penalty and where the new owner still has to pay out the contract without receiving anything in return, is a pretty goddamn good deal for Mozilla.
> ... with these massive, incredible 1.5 pound burritos...

This is the "Mission-style Burrito" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission_burrito). I first encountered them in San Francisco in 1997, where I found them to be quite a novelty, even though I was coming from Texas and had a more than passing familiarity with burritos.

Chipotle has now popularized them nation-wide, of course.
I agree, but there is potentially a larger point when part of the cause is unequal access to education based on race.

There's a lot of "legacy" there, a lot of stuff that probably should be removed, or at least relegated to a "deprecated" status.

Ask HN: Do you know any good high school websites?
I teach high school math and science, and our current website is a mediocre canned website. We have the flexibility to create our own site, and I want to show students some examples of well-designed high school sites. The primary purpose is to showcase high-quality student work, rather than presenting school policies and such.

When I search things like "best high school websites", I find a bunch of blogspam from vendors for canned sites. Do you know any examples of well-designed school websites?
Whatever you end up using for scraping, I beg you to pick a unique user-agent which allows a webmaster to understand which crawler is it, to better allow it to pass through (or be banned, depending).

Don't stick with the default "scrapy" or "Ruby" or "Jakarta Commons-HttpClient/...", which end up (justly) being banned more easily than unique ones, like "ABC/2.0 - https://example.com/crawler" or the like.

> Well, I'm a Firefox user, not an extension developer, and Pentadactyl happened to be one of the extensions that made using Firefox bearable. Now that it's permanently broken,

Pentadactyl was all-but-abandoned for years before Vimperator was broken. It's been almost four years since it saw a release - which was for Firefox 24.0-30[0]. Its website still links at least three links to code.google.com on the front page! (I'm actually shocked if Pentadactyl has even been working for you until now, given that it was supposed to break a few release cycles ago - when e10s shipped - but maybe you just haven't updated Firefox in a while, or you manually disabled e10s.)

Vimperator - which is also incompatible with Firefox 55+ for the same reasons Pentadactyl is - at least has been receiving maintenance attention in the meantime[1], and also provides alternatives for use with Firefox 55+ (and 57+).

If you'd rather switch browsers entirely than use something like Vimium[2] on Firefox, go ahead, but it's hard to justify holding an entire browser back just to maintain compatibility with an extension that has been abandoned by its own maintainers. As I mentioned, I can't even reasonably expect them to hold Firefox back to maintain compatibility with the extensions I wrote and actively maintained. As a Firefox developer, I'm disappointed, but as a Firefox user, I'm more than happy enough with the changes to make up for it.
