I think that an opinionated framework like Rails will be around for a long time.

Technology has its fads, but somethings stick around. There are plenty of people still coding in C. Laravel is a pretty big PHP framework.

There are plenty of companies that built on Rails. The cost of switching to a new technology is likely unfeasible. So likely the product/company will continue to use Rails.

So if you like Ruby/Rails, I say go for it!
At most you could say it doesnt disprove his lead/crime hyptothesis but looking at the data and charts he cherry picked (yes I read both closely) it only very weakly coorelates to his worldview. He even opens the article saying the lead levels were drasrically lower then continues to pretend that it was comparable data to the previous US geographic set.

If the author was a good scientist he'd conclude more studies from a broader population need to be done.

But ultimately just because he acknowledged bias doesnt mean he effectively accounted for it in his analysis. There's a good reason the authors of the study took the position they did.
Can someone illuminate me as to what are some of the reasons that would make someone style with CSS Grid with a Fallback to Bootstrap?

Considering you are already writing Bootstrap due to compatibility concerns why not just keep using that? I feel like adding another dependency like this would just create a risk of having design differences pop up over time.

Mind you, I don't hate CSS Grid. I really enjoyed learning it, and I look forward to be able to use it in a few years.

And it goes on like this.
"Apocalypse" literally means "unveiling", but it refers to the biblical book of Revelation. Revelation describes the total destruction of the existing world, but ends with the creation of a new, better one.

In the same way, the Bolsheviks were about the total destruction of the current social, economic, and political order, in order to build the new. So "apocalyptic" is a fairly accurate term.
No one uses that definition anymore.
Are you kidding me? How many WWDC and product introductions have you attended?
there was a time in the 90's where i was between jobs and enrollments where i was trading for cards that were easily sold for cash. Howling Mines, Nevinyrral's Disk, Birds of Paradise, dual lands. any of those were $5 cash, almost instantly. most duals cost me about $3. it's insane what they go for now.

trading has gotten way more formal and less fun now. also they print way too many garbage cards that are worth nothing. the first few sets they couldn't keep up with demand, and those are the cards that are still pretty expensive.

now the sets are hit and miss. back in the day, i think stores and lack of supply and general usage of the internet kept rares in the couple of dollar range and up. now there are "bulk rares" that are like $.10 or so. or there are staple cards that are common that are $5 or more, and foil ultra rares that can be triple digits in price even in print, but those are the exception, not the rule.

still having some of the old cards and seeing the prices on the secondary market, my fear would be that some new Hasbro CEO could come in and just rescind the reserved list and basically just print money in the short term and rerelease the paper cards like they did online.
>Mass emails and top-down communication are not taboo: just because most such communications are irrelevant it doesn’t mean yours will be perceived as such.

Mine are always perceived as such :-(
> For a proper financial market with money, a good store of value might just be a long term savings account in a bank

Not sure. Look what 2008 happened: States had to rescue banks which would have gone bankrupt otherwise and because of this the entire economy/currency suffered. A FIAT saving account—even in a developed country/financial market—is a terrible store of value.

> weak economies have more people who can't afford the rather extreme transaction fees

When I look at Google Trends https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=bitcoin I see many weaker countries or low-income countries (South America, Russia) which have a quite high interest in BTC.

The transaction fees don't hurt if it's just about putting your savings in a safe spot. The people are not going to buy groceries with BTC.
As in the cost of building/improving the stadium? Those are usually multi-year projects so I'm not sure how it figures in to the accounting.

It was still in all senses better that anything Bolsheviks had at any point of their rule. It's too easy to kick a fallen giant.
Why? The article demonstrates exploitation of Docker containers.
The embedded video here[1] is removed too. I have a feeling there's something more to this.

A truly cathartic read. This soulful article's understanding of the process and trauma of bereavement touched me profoundly. Such empathy is rare in modern bureaucracy -- something about doing things at scale numbs us to the emotions of individuals.

Well, from what I see in the US, the risk to be sued actually encourages a lot more damaging procedures than it makes people rigorous. That's not to say people shouldn't be allowed to sue. Actually, there is really no good solution to this problem.

The best situation I have seen is where people do sue, but hospitals provide legal protection for their employees (public sector in western Europe). Employees there still fear for their jobs, but not enough to put patients through nearly as much useless and risky crap as in the US. Patients there are also far less prone to sue, since the success rate of legal action is low. All in all, everyone seems to benefit from a little less tension in the system.

Of course, you will always find people who feel (perhaps rightly so) that they were wronged, and that we should cut the hands of the bad docs. Finding balance in those matters is a difficult social exercise.
I didn't read a "just" in the previous poster.

I do believe that belief or trust is a necessary but inadequate precondition to success. Believing in yourself is not enough to help you succeed, but not believing in yourself is enough to help you not succeed.

As a society, we do a very poor job giving people that trust or belief.
Iceland has largely kicked teen drinking. What can it teach other countries?
>Against? TBH, I'm not sure there's a need to argue against a political movement with such a record.

And yet people don't have issues with political movements with the same or even worse records (from colonialism to slavery), and can swipe their issues under the carpet (what does capitalism has to do with some such countries enslaving 2/3rds of the world causing untold suffering and deaths, that's just human nature, some bad apples, some greedy leaders, etc) whereas issues with other systems they present as "inherent".

It's mostly the winners getting to write history.
Trailer living is stigmatized because it's what poor people can afford. With poverty, come all it's correlated afflictions: substance abuse, limited employment, low education and family planning, lack of role models, each determining the other and trapping multiple generation into the same cycle. I.e "trash" people, those who just don't seem to get ahead.

Trailer trash is a largely american stereotype because US had a car-centric culture and early economic development that allowed even the poor to buy an RV, while locking them out of the traditional property market. But the stereotyping is against poor people and it's practiced in any society that values material gain.
Why aren’t they comparing it to parq or even bzip?
Both the lead levels and population size were far smaller than the original study. But regardless they failed to find a solid correlation between the two.

It's disapppointing the author presents his own reinterpretation with such certainty given that context but I really dont expect much from a publication like MotherJones who are known for their shameless polarized position taking and bias friendly reporting.

Even viewed in isolation this author was entirely unconvicing in that regard.
In what measure is that a result of bad policy and or a result of a desire to promote thriftiness? After all gas in the US is cheap and in Europe it's expensive and I think a major part of the price are excises meant to discourage consumpation.

As a side note, the EU is also pushing heavily energy efficiency for homes, this might be related.
A good summary of the faults of political orthodoxy. You can safely experience the downsides first hand by hanging around with certain groups of Maoists, who are especially fond of quoting their favorite texts in lieu of developing or critiquing them.

On the other hand, the review (and possibly the book) are a little unfair in ignoring the daunting scope of the task the Bolsheviks undertook - the transformation of a feudal kingdom with only two large industrial centers into a modern state. They were not the only party seeking to overturn that order, but took and maintained power in October 1917 because they were willing to follow through on their basic aims, such as taking Russia out of the Great War - even though they had to accept significant short-term losses like abandoning control of Ukraine.

It's absolutely true that a collectivist ethos like Bolshevism was massively destructive to the establishment of the time and resulted in an enormous loss of freedom - for them. But reading a review like this, it's easy to forget that the vast majority of the population there did not enjoy anything like the freedoms people take for granted in a developing country, but lived either in squalid urban conditions or primitive rural ones. And yet, mere decades later, it was the USSR that first ventured into outer space.

Communism, as outlined by Marx, is a philosophy of abundance - Marx imagined that everyone would work a bit, maybe half-days, to maintain society, and that the rest of the day could be given over to study and leisure. In practice, this egalitarian utopia remained a distant aspiration as countries like russia and China sought to both maintain their newly-seized economic and political independence and to reap the fruits of industrial development for themselves. As we've seen, both countries have slid back towards nationalism; Russia as an autocracy and China as a weird sort of state capitalism - Xi has concentrated power almost as effectively as Putin, but wields it through more conventional institutional channels.

It may be relevant that both countries abandoned internationalism after their Communist revolutions - Stalin to pursue 'socialism in one country' (with himself very much in charge) and China to alter pursue 'socialism with Chinese characteristics' under Deng. One could argue that today China practices a form of economic imperialism while seeking to establish a peaceful counter-hegemony opposite the United States and to a lesser extent the EU. Communism as an international movement is moribund, and left-wing Communists (ideologically democratic ones) would argue that the failure to prosecute an international strategy made such an outcome inevitable.
"It’s largely attributed to him, though, so he might as well have said it."

This is such a reckless statement, IMO. Sort of like the opposite of "If a tree falls..."
couldn't read it.
It depends on your ability to pay without the business loan. I mean, if you've income and can pay it anyway, turning a profit isn't as big of a concern.

But that's not really how it is for a lot of places. If you have a history of a healthy profit after 3 years in business, you are more likely to be able to repay it. In the case of the restaurant, sometimes the improvements will make a difference but sometimes they won't. The bank is taking more risk at this point, and if things go sour, they lose.
I can’t decide what’s worse: you telling people how to play or you telling people they are bad for playing something you don’t like.

Either way your moralizing is ironic.
> I have no reason to think Apple chips are artificially optimized to look good on benchmarks

I never stated that. My point was that they wanted their processors to benchmark above everyone else's, and this quest for the highest performance numbers in synthetic benchmarks (aka on paper) has lead them to a bad place.
I recently saw a video of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates at d5, and Gates talked about how you could run Word on the original Mac in a 14K OS. Jobs interjected that MacOS was more like 22K, but the point was made.

Can you imagine an entire OS in 20-something being built today? BIOSes are larger than that.
His statement could be read both ways. If you keep low performing people, it can suck the life of the team. I've personally seen teams where the top people lower their standards and outputs because they have low performing members in the team, and if the management doesn't care enough about the impact they have on the team, they will not work hard to make a good product.

OTOH, I do think firing is a bit of a last resort. A lot of people can be coached to perform better. I support firing as a last resort when other reasonable methods have failed.

There's also the risk that one of the myraid CCGs replaces MtG. Or in 1995, the risk that CCGs fade in general.

i'm wondering this too. we need to support down to IE11 but i wanna use grid.
Great to have some data; thanks.

> MS-13 is in every major city in the US, the scale obviously varies.

Is that also from the data?

> They get so much attention due to the extreme violence they tend to utilize, rather than the sheer number of members.

This is the kind of thing I try to avoid: Do we know that the violence is more extreme than other gangs? And I suspect they get attention because it fits the White House's / GOP's immigration narrative. But who can say why something gets attention?
Looking back, looking forward (Krita)
I'm not sure I get this - are you saying that you are more at risk due to the VM host layer?
Does the article disagree with any of that?

>Slezkine is by no means the first person to draw the analogy between the Bolsheviks and sectarians (Lenin himself is reported to have taken an interest in the Münster Anabaptists and Cromwell’s Puritans as he pondered Russia’s revolutionary potential in the early twentieth century), but no one before him has extracted such analytical mileage from it. This intellectual framework allows him to explain the Bolsheviks’ striving to bring self and society, individual and history, into perfect alignment; their relentless study and exegesis of their own version of scripture (Marx and Engels, later Lenin); their jealous guarding of their purity and integrity; and their embrace of violence, which was a welcome sign of the apocalyptic confrontation that would herald the “Real Day”.

Maintaining ideological purity (Lenin's policy of no collaboration with any bourgeois or other leftist elements after the February revolution and the program of immediate communist revolution after the bourgeois one were considered foolish and impractical by many); the belief in the soon-to-come apocalyptic worldwide civil war and revolution (as you said yourself); and the embrace of violent narratives on how to go about it; all of this describes Lenin's policies ~1917 quite well.
I know a few shops that have been using bootstrap just for grids. Idk why, but they do.
Google services are entirely optional to Android. See AOSP. This criticism appears often on HN, despite how little sense it makes. If you don't like the data that Google Maps collects, simply use another map application. I delete all the useless Google apps off my phone as soon as I get it and keep only the ones that are actually useful.
It's like politics. If you tell a lie often enough it becomes the truth.
Sometimes I don't understand all the hatred toward Google having our data on their servers. Most alternative solutions offer fragmented services (as opposed to the all-in-one experience I get with Google) and are too cumbersome to setup. Yes, I know data is sort of power these days. But before bashing at Google/Apple/Microsoft... and banning their services, people should ask themselves: "What sacrifices are they making and for what?" I mean, I would totally feel convenient when my contacts are synced on my devices and I get a unified experience. Google knowing about my contacts is just the price I pay to get that service and honestly, from my experience, it's better for Google to have my data because they keep adjusting the service I get in return.
Yeah, but is it limited to Docker containers? Can other container types be attacked in the same way?
Randomized pids wouldn’t nexessarily help that much in this situation, especially if the getuid syscall is available. However, I agree with your general sentiment that there are basic security features that Linux could implement to make a lot of CVEs impotent. I think the community is coming round, but this stuff takes more work than most people may realize.
No, what you've done is substitute "campaign contributors" for "voters". They're not the same thing, especially when those campaign contributions -- while they may originate with individuals -- are routed through PACs such as the "Lockheed Martin Employees' Political Action Committee (LMEPAC)", making it explicit what those contributions are buying (as opposed to, say, just being generally supportive of a candidate's political philosophy).

Shelby is indeed responsive to his campaign contributors. He is not responsive to voters. Conflating those two things is the very essence of the corruption of American democracy.

New York is really no different: politicians are responsive to their campaign contributors, not to voters. I'm not saying this to excuse New York: it's a serious problem there. But to say that this is a uniquely New York problem is completely wrong and fails to see the forest for the trees.
Do you do this on certain days of the week, or every day?

Where I work, we deliver on time. Customers schedule upgrades many months in advance, and in series or sync with other upgrades. They are on maintenance contracts to get the latest version.

If we deliver a broken product, than that is a failure to cut scope adequately. Do that once or twice and suffer through the consequences and you will learn not to let it happen again.
Isn't it the case that every common diagnosis has an established "reasonable and prudent" treatment?

It seems to me that the main skill of a doctor is making the correct diagnosis. Once that's done, treatment (at least in the vast majority of cases) is going to be perfunctory.

And even the diagnosis itself is going to be, in most cases, the "most likely" condition that explains the patient's symptoms.
Follow-up question: And why docker doesn't do that by default?

I see what you are trying to do here. But please go read the sales copy of the book. Everything in that copy is a symptom of "moral decay" in the tech valley.

Which one did you purchase? "The master package" to become effective engineer.

It makes bold claims like it will make you 10X engineer and it some how guides you to figure out which technologies you need to work that will succeed in the future and keep reading, you will find more gems in there. The whole content is preying on the vulnerable.

We have had great advice in the tech industry so far like, "put customer first" or "think lean" or build beautiful products etc but this is the first classic that says to put yourself first and work on things that elevate you at the expense of the team and company and more narcissistic gems bundled with gossip from engineering teams with famous name companies.

I seriously doubt anyone who is looked upon for guidance by others would suggest something like this.

adios while I read the "Tactial Toolkit" to become effective engineer.

Does this escape only work if they have root inside of the container? I usually try to make it so my containers always contain a non-root process as an extra layer of security.
I'm a little surprised we didn't have decent quantum-resistant crypto even 20 years ago. All our public key crypto is based on the hardness of integer factoring and the discrete logarithm problem, neither of which are known to be NP-complete or NP-hard. Quantum computers can efficiently solve those two problems, but they haven't been shown to be able to handle any NP-complete problems. There have been previous attempts to make cryptosystems based on NP-complete problems like the knapsack problem, but never became as popular as RSA. Anyone have any guesses why we didn't see any popularly used crypto based on the hardness of, say, 3SAT or the knapsack problem?
I agree that items/box is a bad metric. A regular-size butterfinger amounts to 4 kid-size. I'm not sure what a better metric might be.

> the question is, is it going for quality then?

I wouldn't say so. The candy in CandyJapan boxes seems about average. I've actually seen some of their candy brands in local grociers' foreign food isles quite cheaply. This leads me to believe the CandyJapan stuff is nothing particularly special. Some of the DIY candy kits they include lately are gross too—they're usually some variant of slime + sugar/flavor.

As a side note I actually ordered a Tokyotreat box. They have decent item count and they include a drink as well. I've really enjoyed some of the random Japanese drinks I've tried and I'm looking forward to receiving some!
