So very much this. Particularly if you dont have enough context to be personalized, pre-compiled popular segments are a reasonable approach.
It's a common form of entitlement. I have a lot of friends back in Argentina who complained about the previous government "giving stuff to poor people just for votes." It's a reflection of where their priorities are: "I'd never sell my vote for X" is easy to say, when X is easily accessible for you.
This doesn't allow remote access, just privilege escalation. So you'd already have to have some degree of access to the system to be able to use this vulnerability.

That's part of it, but getting viewable content to the user as soon as possible is just as big. Without SSR, the user has to wait for the JS to download, parse, and execute before they see anything on the page.

I'm a self-taught programmer and theory is definitely my stumbling block. Also occasionally lingo...since my education is informal, there are sometimes things I haven't yet encountered that other people--particular CS grads--seem to already know.

I don't have any programming friends and so I also sometimes find it hard to keep up with a conversation that is using a large number of technical terms, as I have the mental overhead of converting those to ideas...it's not as natural as it could be with more practice.

I haven't read TAOCP but I have gone through a bit of SICP and I can recommend that. For slightly more practicality, I was doing it in Clojure, since that is more likely to be useful in the future than Scheme--for me, at least. The video course is on Youtube. I'd really like to get back at it and finish going through the entirety of it. Someday.
Well, at least in my country, their websites suck, and you can't guarantee delivery other than "sometime in the afternoon", meaning if you're on a tight schedule you're stuck.
If only. But there is only a limited one in place.

My point was that you can't just plop down a bunch of large apartment/condo towers--even if it were otherwise desirable to do so--unless you also add infrastructure to move all those people around. Certainly it can be done but you're probably looking at a decades-long project.

Apparently some people do. They really shouldn't. I can only imagine this is in some places ignorance and others out of fear for another left-pad scenario.
I've been wondering about this as well. Why are they using so few images? To me that is like reverse blinking: Instead of keeping your eyes open, and blinking for a short amount of time every now and then, you're walking around with your eyes closed, and open them only for a short time.

I believe the main problem is knowing which data to trust and which data to discard. Reflections (water, shiny surfaces), moving objects (leaves in the wind), over-exposure, and lens flares are already pretty hard to deal with. But with low resolution data, you make it even more difficult because there's more data to discard for being too inaccurate.
It's best to simply look at it relative to expenses. If you want to retire in HCOL, you could do it in the same amount of time as someone in LCOL if you save the same % of your income. If you want to move to LCOL, estimate the expenses there.

I don't know of strict rule of percentage or nominal dollars that works except for using annual expenses as the measuring stick.
I listen to Udemy courses and YouTube videos at 1.5x to 2x speed, depending on the speed of the talking. You can improve the listening comprehension with practice.

> adjusted for living expenses

I've done the math on this and I've never been able to figure a way that $100k in <generic midwestern city> gets me to retirement quicker than $200k in Seattle or even SF.

I just don't buy it.

As far as I'm concerned, it's a bullshit excuse midwestern companies use to under-pay their engineers.
Good (allegedly) for them. The whataboutism is getting super annoying. Neither Clinton is running for public office and the last one who did so wound up losing. If you want to have "Clinton is unworthy of receiving my vote / being elected to this office" as a debate, go for it once it matters.

The topic of debate is whether the Republican candidate for the United States Senate from Alabama, Roy Moore, meets the public's reasons for being elected. That he is alleged--by multiple people, all of whom have very low incentive to lie have credible-sounding stores--to have committed sexual assault on several minors is a factor in that decision, whether or not he is actually convicted because there's a difference between legally convicted and what the world thinks of you (otherwise people wouldn't care about if you "were ever arrested" on job applications).
I don't get in an Uber with the assumption that the driver will be able to tell if I've suddenly died and take me to safety.

Sounds Orwellian. Corrupt systems seldom improve after being fed.
The act of translating some random noun ('hole' in this case) and the word 'fear' into Greek does not automatically mean that a recognised mental disorder involving fear of that particular thing exists. In fact, Wikipedia cites several sources that explain this is merely a 'proposed' mental disorder [0] and is not officially recognised.

I like how there is an implied influence (e.g. dockerism) about containers being immutable/ephemeral... meanwhile I've been incredibly happy moving most of my VM deployments over to nspawn because many standards of systems management were anti-patterns in dockerland.

It would be a little more interesting if a "virtual USB drive" (similar to a virtual floppy/CD-ROM drive) in remote consoles (BMC/iDRAC/ILO/IPMI/etc.) could be used to exploit it.
Amazing. Disabled. Didn't know that, thank you!
True. Though then my calendar becomes terribly cluttered. (I care about maybe 20% of the birthdays on my list)

I think the birthdays only counted as "costless" when I was already checking and filtering through Facebook notifications, but that was an illusion.

It's probably going to cost me a ton of totally fake, made up Internet points to say this, but consider this from the perspective of (some) religious conservatives:

1. Candidate R thinks assaulting pubescent girls is OK.

2. Candidate D thinks murdering innocent babies is OK.

From this (I'll admit quite warped) perspective, candidate R is the lesser of two evils. This calculus---which we all engage in---doesn't mean religious conservatives think hebephilia or statutory rape is OK. They're as disgusted by it as you are, but they hate abortion more.
Had to try it! (Clojure)

(frequencies
(take 100
(map #(first (str (first %)))
(iterate (fn [[x y]] [y (+' x y)]) [0 1]))))

=> {\0 1, \1 30, \2 18, \3 12, \4 9, \5 8, \6 6, \7 5, \8 7, \9 4}

i.e. Yup, Fibonacci up to 100, 30% start with 1, 18% start with 2.
Nice ! I like the zoom effect
Couldn't tell you, but it's not really relevant. The post I'm replying to says that it should come as no surprise that NodeJS template rendering is slow, and I just meant to point out that the article is quite specifically isolating ReactJS rendering as slow, and has nothing to do with NodeJS or JS at all.
The startup model was invented in Silicon Valley. You can say that you plan to do something that isn't a typical startup, but you can't claim that your greedy personal take is the real deal while throwing shade on "some unfortunate silicon valley attitudes".
I don't think it's spam when a subscriber chooses which categories of your site they want to receive in a newsletter...

This was a recruitment firm letting their subscribers pick the categories of jobs they receive in their newsletter. I think this is anything but spam. Cuts out the things they aren't interested in and makes sure they only receive jobs relevant to their search.

Other companies using the service are doing similar - sending relevant articles to subsets of their audience - not even for commercial purposes. We have educational institutes using the service for sending information to students.

Maybe it was the word automation that concerned you in this but I think done correctly it can be a big benefit for subscribers and content producers.
Then shouldn't that article account for it?

I would have thought that JS has fewer dupes because of NPM
Your examples don't portray someone aware of the collapse of a civilization it portrays someone aware of the lack of roman authority. That is in no shape or form the same.

And no I don't have any examples handy that I can point to right now, but I am sure there are plenty if you dig a little.
Sounds super interesting.

I have turned to other things (that involve being outdoors or at least standing), but I do want to replace some misspent time with reading. I was a voracious reader in my youth, pre-internet, and I miss that. And even when comparing with HN comments--where the average quality is very high--most books just have a lot more to offer. When you add in FB and reddit, it's not even a comparison.

Sadly I find my attention span, even with a great read, has suffered greatly. I blame the internet, but maybe it's just me. It's very difficult to suffer through even a brief boring stretch now.

4 Military Skills to Put on Your IT Resume
Maybe motion blur has something to do with it? I've been using photogrammetry techniques occasionally, when I needed it, in film/3d work. One thing I didn't try out, and what I wanted and you've reminded me of it now is to try going through a space with RED camera, crank the shutter so to eliminate motion blur and maybe even go with the HDRx option (for textures, later on). I'll see what Photoscan comes up with.
The demarcation line is pretty clear IMO (it isn’t even social media). It’s technology whose goal is to manipulate its users to engage with itself. And it hires an army of engineers, designers, scientists, and soon AI to achieve that goal.

Right now it’s social media that is at the forefront of this war with people. Tomorrow it might be a different technology.
Fast forward to me being a minor pawn in the resistance, running through the woods from heavily armed Atlas droids.
Yeah, actually I'm the same age as you and I did most of my talking over IM too then, so my comment was poorly made. The spirit of my comment was "in a way you could have done it in 2000, whichever you prefer", e.g. email, phone, in-person, scheduling time to be online together. I use all of those to keep in touch with people now as an adult.

> you can't just plop down a bunch of large apartment/condo towers

New York City; San Francisco; Washington, D.C.; Paris; London. All these cities grew by plopping down buildings and then sorting out the resulting mess. Is this ideal? No. But it's (a) cheaper to build and (b) easier to finance, with private capital, buildings than mass transit. Population first.
One thing to be aware of: applying the patch in `before_save` means validations won't see the changes. Might want to either move that to `before_validation` or apply the changes directly in the `update` action.
It works better when your idea of draining the swamp isn't stuffing it with your cronies.

don't you have to believe that distance is so unimportant to startups that it's fine to be in a locale that has 1/1000th the number of startups as SFBA, but also so important that you prescribe what cross streets they set up on in your own town?

One would have to believe that networks and modern infrastructure can make certain factors of distance unimportant, while one can still encourage enough beneficial interactions in a smaller community outside of SFBA. This is why I brought up the idea of a particular niche. It seems very unlikely one could compete in all areas, while there have been many historical precedents for explosions in rates of creative realization and/or production resulting from concentrations of specialists in a particular craft.

The real problem with distance being unimportant in tech, is that any such bloom could be quickly drawn to SFBA and relocated there. For such a thing to work, there would need to be something else keeping the group of specialists in the outlying community.
C-level people in those organizations are not protected by strong unions or government contracts. (Although they may come with golden parachutes.) They are also the people who can institute meaningful change.
* Checking some condition before building something in a particular way.

Is it corruption if those selling the approach actually understand what will really happen but see it as a great way to advance their own fortunes?

I'm never quite sure what kind of mixture of the gullible, the misunderstanding, true believers, the very earnest, grifters, con men and sociopaths I'm looking at. Oh, and those who are true believers in other areas and just don't care about the fiscal issues as long as their pet thing gets appropriate lip service. Oh, and end-timers who think Revelations is coming, the world's going to end for everyone except the ungodly, and I might as well get everything I can before I ascend.

Unfortunately I think there are way too many people out there with a philosophy of "the best thing about a few billion dollars of churn is that I can probably scrape a few million in profit off it."

Edit: oh, and would you like to buy some bone broth to make you feel like a caveman?
While overly sensationalist and click-batish the amount of people I talk with who raise money before they build their base product in areas that do not require capital or aren't hard problems to solve is quite staggering.

But I am fine with people doing that as it means mostly they won't succeed.

Several years ago, when I was working abroad in China, I saw an excellent exhibit at the Hong Kong Museum of Art that discussed the origins of the world of "Chinese export art." It's interesting to realize that what the article is describing has been around for quite some time.

Here are a few posts I found showing some of the more historical export art:

I hate this argument so much, any along the lines of "people have always said this". It's not true that just because something has been raised as a concern before that it can't possible be a concern now. The world changes, as do the circumstances for engaging it.

Well, that's how capitalism works, right?

Tower Records destroyed a lot of cool record stores.

Wall Mart destroyed a lot of neighborhood grocery stores. Lidl and Aldi did the same in Europe.

Barnes & Noble did the same for charming bookstores.

My point: it is not the winner that is ruthless, it is the game.

Are there any good sites for getting well done replicas of paintings by famous artists? I found a few great paintings I have bookmarked and I've been meaning to get a real oil-painted replica from China...

This is obviously a content-marketing post by instapainting and keeps linking back to it's own site (with interesting content none-the-less, there is value in this approach when they try like this). But I'm interested in finding one related more to the subject matter. Where they recreate the classics...
It would be a stretch, but lets say you're driving some poorly thought out automation over a pty that has some sort of terminal emulator attached that has any sort of output-changeable answerback-like sequence.

The pty part is important because some software will assume you're running interactive if it sees that its STDIN/OUT is a pty, and change its functionality accordingly.

Could it be that some of these painters might become the Rembrandts of the future?

I mean, in Rembrandt's time, painters painted on commission and their paintings weren't nearly as valuable as they are today. Back then, what they we're doing was pretty much craft, not art per-se.

Of course, not all painters from Rembrandt time became huge sellers in the future...
There's The Kansas Open Records Act they could use.

Not once, not twice, not ten times. Bury them in them. Use the ones they fulfill as data to inform the public, the ones they don't, well make them sink time and funding into defending why they won't.

It's only secret because the media and public is apathetic. Hammer down the doors and sooner or later they'll have to seriously consider whether not being open with the public is worth it.

Ask HN: What are some operational and legal standards for modern websites
I am in the very early stages of creating a humble US-based SaaS with likely few initial subscribers but the subscribers may signup from other countries. What are some 'standards' that need to be met prior to rollout to an international crowd. For example, the EU Cookie law, Terms of Service, Privacy Notice, Disclaimers, Internationalization, Copyrights and Trademarks (US-only or globally?), Accessibility, etc. I do have a law firm on retainer but wow, they really don't seem to have all the answers or familiarity with technology issues on a global scale, much less advice on how to best implement the tech.

I have experience building and hosting websites, but most of my experience is with companies that may have not taken many of the issues above into consideration or had a local scope (city/state). One client refused to pay for any accessibility work because they "don't work with the US Government".
