Pleasant? Never. I absolutely hate every time I have to launch a webpage to dig around and find out why my build failed. Automating jobs is a nightmare. I can cURL a request to kick off a build and do you know what it returns? NOTHING a 201 response with NO information to link to the build in progress. Oh there's a JSON API to see running jobs, but without some sort of ID, it's useless. Scripting is in Groovy. Want to use another language? Too bad! "It was hard enough to get Groovy" is the response from the team. If I'm forced to use a web interface, does it still have to look like it was designed by a team of Java devs from 2008?

I think the problem comes from a similar place as Wikipedia's: someone who only changes things they understand will, all else being equal, change far fewer things than a megalomaniac with vastly inflated views of the quality of their own actions. Therefore the greatest fraction of all changes will be owed to the megalomaniac.

I want to talk to the keyloss and key securing problem. This should be a fairly straightforward service that is backed heavily by well trusted institutions. Perhaps banks or technology companies can fill this role, but as a non technical user I can use this type of service to secure my recovery keys until I need them.

The most important part is that I MAY use this type of service, I'm not required too. The current state of ID I'm required to use a service to protect my "private keys".

The app-before-this-one (before the server went down) was a reasonably competent bit of kit, basically a lift and shift of Lloyds, which when retired late last year became something with flashy animation on everything (animated log in place holder, 2FA selectors floating in from off screen - WHY!) but less functionality.
I'm glad someone likes it. I'm a Herman Miller fan, my dad's Eames Lounge Chair from the 70s got murdered in a tornado (so sad).

15 years ago I went to look at chairs after finally tiring of the "cheap" $200 Office Depot chairs that needed replacing every couple years. The office furniture store I went to had several Aeron chairs and all of them were broken in various ways. I took that as a sign and didn't get one.

Instead I got a Cramer Triton which is a fairly basic looking chair, but I found comfortable for working at the computer and it was rated for 3 shift use with a fairly long warranty. Later I got a total of maybe 6 of them for my company and they held up really well.

I left that company and the new company had a bunch of Aeron chairs, the best I could find of the unused chairs was one that I could get into a reasonable position but couldn't adjust at all once it was there.

There are a lot of people creating lifestyle businesses. It just isn't getting a lot of attention because fewer people are chasing money from a company that makes it's owner millions so that they can chase companies that are worth billions. Most business journalism is selling the dream that you too can be "Steve Jobs", "Bill Gates", or "Mark Zuckerberg".

Who would buy something promising that you too could be "Joe Business Owner" that no one has heard of before.

‘Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle’ Announces Sequel Release Date
I have the paperback, and that stood out as a glaring flaw to me also.

I had to compare it to my other paperbacks, which were all made with ample center margins to account for the stiff binding. But they didn't look nearly as nice although not due to the center margins.

In fairness, the author (Robert Bringhurst) probably didn't have final say over the paperback, at least as it was bound in final form. The binding is just too stiff for the form factor which is unusually narrow and tall for a paperback.

There are less stiff paperback bindings. Dover used to produce paperbacks with pages stitched into signatures, but that was a more expensive binding.
The trading volume is what determines how plausible it is that the market cap is spoofed. It's literally the second line in my comment:

>The trading volume is enormous, and far beyond what any conspiracy of price pumpers could fabricate ..

You can't spoof a market price at the volumes that the major cryptocurrencies trade at.

I mentioned the market cap because it is generally associated with trading volume, so gives you an idea of how much the asset is being traded.

Well, that solves one kind of graft and opens the door to another. The history of Petrobras is a great example of the kind of corruption that can happen in state run enterprises. Chinese SOEs are another example. Transparency, audits, and open procurement processes are probably more useful at fighting graft than nationalization.

This reads like an investment bank's disclaimer that's 5 pages long in tiny print at the back when they sell you questionable risky investments.

It's designed to make it look like there is a full vetted and functioning process when at the end of the day, it's just a human mod who makes the call.

Like with banks and other customer care agents, the only times these actions can really be challenged or changed is if there is a furore that affects FB's image.

There is just so much trolling and bullying on fb that if they had a real appeal process, it'll quickly become a flood because if they take Hate speech seriously, then the slippery slope leads them to monitor other online problems that is caused by FB.

So no. I think this is just a nice sounding disclaimer for a process that'll only be used when the next storm hits fb but won't actually help clean up all the hate and evil on fb.

True, but that results in other problems - lack of accountabbility and control. Perfect example is the VA.

I think the ultimate solution is to simplify access to, and limit govnerment control of, all entitlement programs. The ultimate expression of that would be UBI - I'd even be in favor of a means-tested phase-out of the UBI.

Not really. If you can't communicate what value your work had, you're going to have a worse time than people who can. The manager liking you thing is more countered by the crazy number of mashups and calibrations go through before being finalised. Yes a bad manager can still hurt you, but the effect is greatly reduced by the process of the performance review and the ease of internal mobility.
[1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_duck_debugging

I don't have a rubber duck near me, but I (sometimes) find it helpful, when I code and hit a wall, to 'talk to myself' (out loud). For someone who's been coding 30 years (you), you have practiced this enough to be able to debug easily (and silently:).

For newbie coders (me)(not sarcastically) sometimes this helps.

Oh, and SO is a great tool/forum, a true gift with many-many positive and helpful people.
Orgasm is something that's generated entirely within the nervous system. As long as the nerves of the transplanted penis are properly hooked up to the right pathways, you can orgasm, though it will take some healing time for the nerves to come fully online.

You don't need to have an erection or be able to ejaculate semen in order to orgasm. Most men associate orgasm with both, but neither is strictly necessary.

Speaking of erections (probably the only time I will ever write these words on HN), they too are not dependent on having testes. Erection is a vascular response within the penis: much of the internal structure of the penis consists of sponge-like tissue that stiffens when filled with blood. Assuming the relevant blood vessels and nerves are properly hooked up, erection should be possible. Of course, you need to take into account healing time and the surgeons doing a perfect job hooking everything up. Testosterone plays a role in signalling for an erection, but you don't need testes for that either: the adrenal glands produce a small amount of testosterone, and exogenous testosterone such as from an injection, a patch, or a gel works just as well (and I would be very much shocked if this guy wasn't on exogenous T already). And in the absence of testosterone entirely, there's always Viagra. And some people can still achieve erections in the absence of testosterone even without Viagra, but this is extremely YMMV.

He might even be able to ejaculate if everything is hooked up right, but it'll be watery seminal fluid without sperm.

Though that does bring up one difference between this guy and a guy with testes: he's still going to have to take exogenous testosterone for the rest of his life for the sake of his mental health, body shape, and bones. And he'll never be able to conceive, of course.

I wonder whether instead of closing topics as "off-topic", "duplicate" or "whatever", which can obviously be perceived as negative to someone, might it be a better alternative to do the opposite? Instead of blacklisting "bad" questions as "off-topic", how about whitelisting "good" questions?

If Stackoverflow wants to build this library, let mods and enthusiasts decide whether a question is worth indexing, and let the questions that would otherwise be closed as duplicate or off-topic be as they are. Perhaps replace "duplicate" with "related to indexed question #XXXXXX"?

It would certainly take a while to restructure SO like this, but with enough effort and time, lower-quality questions simply won't show up in searches unless there really isn't a better related question available.
I don’t understand how you write an article on a case without linking to the opinion: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/17pdf/16-712_87ad.pdf

The mix is interesting: Thomas wrote the majority opinion and Gorsuch and Roberts dissented. The gist of the majority is that patents are “public rights” (like entitlement to social security payments) that can be adjudicated in the first instance by agencies so long as there is the possibility of judicial review.

To my respondents, who may have read more into my comment than I intended,

I merely wished to support agentultra's claim that

> When I write tests first I am looking for an API. The tests help guide me towards a nice API.

and to counter the article author's claim that

> Writing tests before the implementation code implies that you are certain about your final API, which may or may not be the case.

I did not mean my comment to be interpreted as "using TDD will guarantee you find an nice API". If you prefer, please interpret my comment as "TDD (under certain circumstances and when used in an appropriate way) can help you find a nice API".
This almost exactly mirrors my experience. I really hate when questions get closed.

Fixing it would take such a change in direction and leadership that it looks unlikely to happen. It seems such a shame.
reverse "VGA ADC" in what exactly?
Numbers don't tell much. You make a web page, say an interactive news article, and it's read (i.e. viewed top to bottom, but knowing even this is very hard, still let's assume that we can know) a hundred thousand times since it was published. What does this tell? That the interactive design helped make people read the article? How do you know if people would've read it anyways if it was a static HTML file, or just a normal page like others? How do you know people actually liked the design and did not just ignore it focusing on content? How do you know people came to play with the interface instead of reading the actual article? How do you know what percentage of those views are from people restoring their tabs?

If all you want is to say "Hey I got a hundred thousand views, put your ads here!", than that's useful. But if you really want to know if users are content or they care, those numbers are just mute. But knowing whether users really care or not can lead you to better, cheaper design decisions.

>> These questions feel like showing up on a medical website and saying something like “I think my kidney has been hurting. How can I remove it?”

While I laughed at this example for a few seconds, I also think this is a question that needs to be answered.

While we'd like to think that everyone who uses the Internet has a basic level of intelligence and a grasp of common sense, this is often not true.

Having a real expert answering this question properly (in simple, non-patronizing language) could prevent someone who may not be thinking rationally/logically from doing something incredibly stupid.
First you pass the FE exam, then you work for several years under a certified PE, then you take the PE exam. It's an 8-hour open book test, though IIRC for structural engineers it might actually be a 16-hour affair over 2 days.

If you pass, you get a stamp, which lets you approve drawings as a certified PE.

If you believe something is not designed to adequate standards, as a PE it is on you to not put your seal on the drawings. They can't build the bridge without an engineer doing this.

If you're taking about options when some other engineer has already approved the design, I'm not sure what the best course is. Maybe bring your concerns to the engineer in question and work from there.

Or if the design is fine but a contractor is cutting corners in construction and not building to the specifications, you could potentially engineer a new design to reinforce the problems, or you could make them take it out and build it right.
There should be some access provisions but if you aren't in the API business then Propel relying entirely on screen scraping (or equivalent) could be a problem. The article doesn't detail what technical discussions the two have had. I've seen enough poor capacity planning that I can easily imagine a new app causing issues depending how it is designed.
I'm interested in this section:

https://www.facebook.com/communitystandards/objectionable_co...

The guidelines refer to "protected characteristics — race, ethnicity, national origin, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, sex, gender, gender identity, and serious disability or disease."

Under Tier 2 attacks, it bans "Statements of inferiority implying a person's or a group's physical, mental, or moral deficiency."

Several of those protected characteristics -- I'm thinking specifically about religion and sexual orientation -- absolutely have a moral dimension. Religion explicitly deals with morality, and the reason attitudes about sexual orientation have shifted over the last few decades is because views about the morality of gay relationships have shifted.

What I'm wondering is: Would a post criticizing the morality of certain religious adherents violate these standards? Would a post in which someone argues that Obergefell was decided wrongly, and that marriage should be between a man and a woman violate these standards? Would a post in which a person says they believe homosexual acts to be morally wrong violate these standards?

Interesting. I've had several strange experiences in the last year which could be explained this way (as I have no other way to explain me "seeing the future"). In one example, my brain told me there was a 5 euro note under a chair at a cafe, and then I looked, saw it and picked it up. In another example, I saw a fruit had fallen from a tree and imagined an older man come and pick it up and then look up at the tree. This exact thing occurred 10 seconds later.

Other weird experiences include living in a new country and having at least 20 instances of deja vu there within a short time (not of having been there, but just random moments I had seen before in my head).

For a resume tip, all I have on mine are these sections

Experience, Education, Skills, Detailed Experience, and Other Experience (foreign languages).

For yours I'd order it based on what you're trying to sell, which are your skills. So

Name / Contact info

Skills (specific languages, environments, OSes, other tools/frameworks)

Experience (list your projects here as well)

Education just put something like:
B.S. Chemistry University of Wherever UniTownHere

Detailed Experience (elaborate like crazy since your resume isn't long)

Other Experience (things you do that are interesting in your opinion)

Oh, if you can also write a good generic cover letter you can update per application. This will show your good communication skills and show your desire to work in this industry, it's your chance to sell yourself. Be concise but let them know you'll give it your all to make both the company and yourself successful.

Good luck! I'm sure it will work out.
