The complexity of the modern Web platform is a problem. Mozilla developers feel this acutely, believe me.

The problem is that if the open Web platform does not expand to meet the needs of modern applications, then modern applications will simply be restricted to single-vendor platforms like iOS, Android and Windows, and over time the relevance of the open Web will atrophy. That is not an acceptable outcome for Mozilla.

If you can convince Web developers to build sites that work on cut-down browsers, great. I don't see any way to make that happen en masse though.

FWIW Mozilla obtaining a monopoly would be inconsistent with their mission and I don't think actual Mozilla developers are aiming for that. Partly because it's not a realistic outcome!
We are just finishing a long refactor that strongly improved the product. But the planning process was poorly done. They took a couple of lead engineers, made them draw a bunch of diagrams we didn't need, and made them estimate all the work time, instead of involving the entire team. And all of the commitments in the schedule were not commmunicated to the entire team till the end.

From the exec's standpoint, it looks like we can't be trusted. But the truth is the process can't be trusted. Never give out time estimates. Use Agile and point planning, and relative cost estimates.

In your example, the team should have said that we estimate A is 4x as much work as B. Pick one, we'll get it done as fast as possible.

You can have a fixed time schedule, or a fixed project feature set. You can't have both, without the project being late, and features being compromised.

That’s a shame to hear, I’ve always has high hopes for it.

What makes it less suitable for production compared to TF?

Is it just the Kafkaesque build process (admittedly I last tried a year ago), or is model-fitting or prediction especially buggy?
The one I've seen was just an extra room inside the store, beside the pharmacy. There was no physical separation of patients from shoppers. Same thing at Walgreens Healthcare Clinic, just extra rooms beside the pharmacy.
That doesn't address the issue of you being tracked by mac when logginh into a hotel, as you said the real mac is used when connecting.

This only addresses tracking when your phone is in the pocket and sending probe requests to scan for AP's.
What I've done is not that dissimilar. It's pretty easy to build a furnace out of basic household items. With charcoal and a leafblower, you can get it up to a temperature where an entire HDD will melt or burn.
I'm with you. I'm luckily 'stuck' in my studio ($1221/mo) but at least it's a nice area, near a subway, and central to a lot of job opportunities. Even though I'm looking for jobs, I really can't consider any that are going to have me moving and paying more for rent without a significant step-up in salary. We have very high rents here (high demand due to lack of housing) and very low wages (due to amount of people, I guess?).

I don't know if I would consider Palms 'working class' but it definitely is advantageous in being cheaper than other places since the whole town of Palms is essentially all apartment buildings and located near job centers in Culver City, Venice, and Santa Monica up the road / Expo line.
I'm skeptical. Their emphasis on "rational philosophy" and Popper* would be more convincing if they put the research front and centre. Everybody has advice on how to bring up someone else's kids. Most of it isn't nearly as helpful as they imagine.

* Aside: seriously people, there have been rational philosophers since Popper

Surveillance drones are quiet and fly high enough they can't be heard and are hard to spot. The only reason to fly them low enough to be heard or seen is for intimidation.
For 2D graphics, SVG (and more generally vector graphics) fit very well in git. For 3D, there are models, but there's still the problem of textures.

Is there anything close to a text-based procedural texture format ? Textures could be procedurally generated at startup and transformed into bitmaps. I am aware of kkrieger, but is there anything other than proof of concept ? No one takes voxels seriously anymore...
Yes this is true. Such a system would not be accessible. Not cool.
While I completely agree that current big publisher model is broken (which is why I personally don't submit to or review for the big publishers anymore), I wish people would stop making the above argument because it's not helpful nor particularly strong.

First, taxpayers do not get direct benefit from most of the things funded by their taxes, only indirect benefits. E.g., you do not get to fly around in a fighter plane even though you partly paid for one, but they will keep you safe. So it does not follow that publicly funded science should automatically be publicly accessible (although personally I believe it should be).

Second, in practice the number of people that can get direct benefit from reading any single research paper is very small. The vast majority of those people are working in institutions that have access to the journals, and those few that are not, can usually get a copy simply by emailing the author. So making the papers open will have a very limited real, practical impact for the readers.

Third, if the funding source mandates open access (which many now do), all it means is that a few thousand bucks more per publication go into the pockets of the big publishers as open access fees instead of paying for research. And the institutions are still going to have to buy the same subscription packages to the journals to get access to all the articles. So less public money goes to research, more to the bottom lines of the publishers.

The real problem is that the high impact venues are privately owned and run for profit. That is the problem that needs to be fixed. E.g., instead of mandating open access, mandate that the Chairs or PIs getting funding must serve on publication venues run by non-profit professional associations. Or set up publicly owned high quality venues (like universities in many countries) and make serving in their editorial and review boards a part of the duties of publicly funded Chairs. Or reduce the impact weight of for-profit publication venues when evaluating candidates for publicly funded positions. etc. etc.
I'm going to assume that it had a worthwhile title that provided context, and the HN moderators reverted the actual useful part of the post to comply with the silly "original titles only" rule.
If you’re having trouble figuring out an estimate then try the following exercise. Imagine a pointy haired project manager who knows little to nothing about code say “Code refactoring, let’s see that’s what, one or two days?” Immediately you will have outraged yourself and you will start figuring out the right answer. And once you have, double it. If they question you and counter your estimate give a very uncomfortable “uhhh....” followed by “it’s much more complicated than it seems, I don’t think that’s possible”.
This happens on a smaller scale in the US as well, not to mention the flagrant wars waged on other countries as well as brutalizing their own black and Hispanic population through the justice system and underpaid labor, yet people here dont generally paint a broad brush to claim the US is evil. They understand its a complex place with nuance. The same naunce should be afforded to China.

Apart from a wonderful end to a lovely YouTube channel this essay easily surpasses most 'lessons learned' articles i've read. Kudos to Tony and Taylor for having the motivation to write this down.
> I see the kind of parenting being described all the time - the "because I said so" parent.

Wandering the topic a bit, I'm reminded of a book [0] which argues that sometimes "because that's what I want" is actually better and more-honest than making up a reason like "because that's what good little children do."

So I'd like to propose a hierarchy of

1. Explain what practical or empathetic concern drives you to make the request, so they can learn to emulate your logic.

2. Ask them to do it because you desire it.

3. Explain with a "you should always" story that involves badness or guilt which isn't actually the logic you used to reach that decision.

Not sure what you mean by point estimates, because point estimates are the only way to accurately gauge the work in a project.

Elaborate work estimations are a fools errand. No one can argue that you can make far more accurate estimates by spending 50% of your time doing research for estimates instead of 2% of your time. But spending 2% of your time on estimates also means you'll finish every project twice as fast.

I don't know if insurance company cares whether you use copay coupons or drugs on their formulary as much as your employer does, because they're the one ultimately footing the bill for cost of your meds. Insurance companies and benefit managers try to position them in the middle, so that they would benefit either way.
Are there vocational programs beyond those 20-week'ish coding schools? Because those don't seem to equip people with quite enough skill.

>Punishing doesn’t help with learning.

The point of punishing isn't to help with learning, it's to restore the emotional connection between parent and child by stopping the parent from hating the child. As Jordan Peterson put it: 'Don't let your kids do anything that makes you dislike them'. (He said this because he knows that people who dislike others work against them whether they realise it or not.)

The arguments against punishments tend to focus on severity, particularly if physical violence is involved. But the stronger the existing connection between parent and child, the milder the punishment need be. If it is strong even a frown might suffice.
I'm sure Atena has/had a ton of different plans (especially in different states). Theres PPOs, HMOs, POSes, EPOs, high deductible, etc. so any general comments about what Atena does and doesn't cover won't always apply.

It's always worked for me. Kids are used to being dominated and condescended. If you talk to them as respected individuals, you usually get respect back. It also gives more weight to the times you have to be more assertive.

The other helpful thing is to let them be right. Make mistakes on purpose and let them correct you. They're so hungry to be right that it gives a real confident boost.

It should go without saying that this strategy should be used only when it's reasonable, not in cases of safety or when keeping kids from wrecking havoc etc.
If you find it fascinating and prefer some light introduction to the area, I would recommend the book by the (first two) authors: "Universal Measurements: How To Free Three Birds In One Move" https://books.google.com/books?id=7O2tDgAAQBAJ

Note that the book focuses on the idea of universal measurement. On the topic of this paper, there is also 1 hour long video by Prof. Bianchi which I found very good to accompany the paper: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SteQN1A33M
IMHO, the arxiv links are the only worthwhile ones. The rest are kind of a waste of time
Not explicitly, IFAIK the main slowness/limits you risk hitting are:

1. Git clones are deep and wide by default, so you end up with local repos that are the size of the total history. (easy to work around)

2. Git narrow clone support isn't the greatest, so you will probably want to fit the "working directory" on one computer. (somewhat painful to work around)

3. Git has to checkout all files every time you change branches which can be slow if you have a large working directory. (very painful)

4. Many operations (status, diff, commit for example) require git to scan the working directory to see what changed. This will be very slow if you have many files in your working directory. (very painful)

Luckily all of these problems can be solved seamlessly with a virtual filesystem approach. For example https://github.com/Microsoft/GVFS

Children don't develop meaningful self control and decision making until age 3-5. He's still developing the capacity to make decisions about not doing something he wants to.

Surprising how positive the initial comments here are.

Do you really believe any incidental collection that isn't specifically prohibited by law (which is to say, most) doesn't end up in a database mined for unrelated reasons?
Garbage like this is what happens when people reason from first principles without any reference to what they are actually trying to do. It's a parenting philosophy composed by someone who has never met a child (and has no interest in meeting one).

Look at what the market will bear. Adjust based on how full/empty your pipeline is. For this, you need to be involved in 'the scene' - networking drinks, professional development events, that sort of drudgery. Depending on your industry, you can find out what others bid on projects and somewhat derive their rates by asking for results from other rfp's. Another tactic is to meet the client and feel out what his budget is. Base your offer on that. I know people say to never take fixed price projects, but if you manage expectations well, it's perfectly feasible in my experience, and it'll get you (well paid) work that others won't even bid on. Clients can't make full specs. If they could, they'd get some guys from upwork for $5/hr to code it up for them. And they don't want to write blank cheques, either. So the arbitrage there is where the opportunity is as a consultant (not as a freelancer - don't market yourself like that, it denotes 'replaceable cog').

I don't know in what market you are, but 600e (=usd 715) is on the low end for skilled dev work in western europe excluding non-london uk, in my experience (so not slicing psd's or doing piecewise javascript website elements, I'm talking full custom systems). Don't compete on price unless you're desperate for the money. Life's too short to be nickle and dimed.
I don't know. All of the stuff that they are talking about in the article are things that are of interest to business... message queueing and iot and databases. I can see having the source code as an insurance policy against the vendor going bust, i don't see how these projects are of interest to people.

The number of open source projects that I think actually matter in the cyberpunk dystopian future we all live in is really small. I stopped believing the hype about open source a long time ago. All that change the world BS makes everyone feel great...you are a revolutionary because you use VI or Debian...without having to do anything that might cost them something. Witness all the helplessness and rage expressed when distros went to systemd. Literally source available, more choice than ever, and Linux running on billions of devices...but it's never quite good enough. How dare you oppress me!

I don't know which freedom we are talking about anymore. It seems to be available either in abundance or not at all depending on who you ask.
Your children can always borrow for college. You can't borrow for retirement, so it makes sense to prioritize retirement savings.

I agree, though, that the purchasing power is nowhere near 1987 and that the plateau comes earlier. I suppose it's what makes saving earlier and saving more ever pertinent for the younger generation. If I can get to 200k before I plateau, I'd be happy. If I have a working spouse that makes at least 100k, I'd say we could probably keep the American dream alive for us.

At least via my 401k, there are few poor options to choose, thankfully. The worst you could probably do is pick a fixed income class (and get no growth) or go too risky with international funds (if you for some reason went 100% international). But the target-date funds and index funds provided (SP500, etc) are diversified and generally considered good investments.

When I had Atena they did cover pharmacy flu shot but only at one specific pharmacy. It's been years but if my memory serves right think I had to go to CVS to get the flu shot rather than my usual Walgreens.
U.S. copyright law says that whoever created the content owns the copyright by default (unless it's a "work for hire", in which case the company who paid the employee to create the content owns the copyright). Presumably, Facebook's terms of service grant Facebook a license to display the content, but the creator still retains the copyright. Something that's posted on Facebook does not enter into the public domain.

Thus, unless you have been granted a license to use that content by the copyright holder, you have no legal right to copy it to your own web site.

Companies have valid reasons for wanting to control where their ads are posted:

- They don't want to be overwhelmed by inquiries from unqualified applicants.

- They want to be able to remove the ad when the job has been filled.

- They want to protect their brand by posting their jobs on sites that are well-known and trusted.

You're not doing these companies a favor by re-posting their job ads without their consent.

So you can expect the companies to file DMCA takedown notices against your web site (or to threaten you personally with legal action) if they find out that their ads have appeared on your site.

And by copying FB's content to your own site, you're also presumably violating FB's terms of service, and could have your access to FB revoked.
Aye.

It seems to me we'd do better taking an empirical approach and pricing in widespread psychological realities.

For instance, it's clear that one of the things people don't do very well with, especially as they head into middle age and beyond, is big downward adjustments in lifestyle. It just doesn't accord with the expectation of upward mobility and progression through life anywhere, least of all in the land of the American Dream.

So, even when economic circumstances get worse, their spending tends to remain stubbornly high relative to the quantitative reality. It seems to me sanctimoniously chiding people for that is not a constructive response. It's clearly what most people do, in some measure. The question is how to best deal with that systemically, if in any way at all.

I think there is also a niche for checked exceptions, which kind of fall in the middle between those two approaches.

A checked-exception forces the programmer to notice and make a design-decision.

At the same time, if the designer chooses to merely propagate it up the stack, that's extremely easy to do just by editing the function signature.

I like your optimism. Personally, I don't think this will help consumers, but it won't hurt them either. I think this is more about 1. Leverage. 2. bigger data set on patient and prescribers.
In a strict sense, yes. The loopholes has been there for decades but widespread exploitation did not start until around 2008-2010 when sellers in Asia realised that they could send trinkets to US customers for next to nothing and still make some profit. Additionally it is hard to collect import duty and VAT on small personal imports, but domestic sellers who buys stock in bulk are rarely exempt, so the price gap grows further.
