What about the incel hate that feminists are throwing around nowadays? There have been 2-3 instances of self proclaimed incel men lashing out because they can't get laid, and they have been branded as psychopathic women-haters by the far-left. The #MeToo movement was a farce anyway, and led to a lot of false accusations that some men have to deal with forever now.
Redux itself doesn't actually care how you organize your file structure (per the FAQ entry at https://redux.js.org/faq/code-structure ).

For the size of the tutorials, it's probably simpler to use a "folder-by-type" structure. But yes, for real apps, I myself have settled on a "folder-by-feature" structure. Note that either approach is completely orthogonal to whether you have multiple reducers listening to the same action.

The tutorial is already trying to explain a lot of concepts that are new to most people, so we try to keep it focused on the meaningful concepts. Throwing in side discussions on folder structures would probably add more confusion at that point in the learning curve.
I live in a planned community of about 100 homes. There is a homeowner's association that is responsible for, among other things, maintaining unused land on the development. There are probably 10-20 acres of unused and unusable space.

About 20% of the homes have rooftop solar. It's ugly. So I've been considering contacting a solar firm or two and asking about installing a full up solar plant with battery system so the whole development can go off-grid, and not have those ugly panels, plus the installation and potential roof damage, maintenance, etc.
The less people who use electricity, the more electricity prices will go up. So at some point, it will only be the poor people and apartment dwellers who will be paying exorbitant prices for electricity while the wealthier people pay almost nothing.

HackerNews isn't really a place to wave a empathy stick at. This is a place where years of work on startups and concepts come to die. If you came to find yes men, this is sadly the wrong place. Having said that, there are an unusual lot of people empathizing and acknowledging the issue that women are more alienated and that we should fix that. There is a severe lack of empathy on the other side though that cannot seem to fathom why men heed cautionary tales and choose not to risk their career over fighting for equity.

It's worth noting that the Nile is one of just 10 rivers which outputs 90% of the plastic that goes into the ocean. Some of the agricultural problems could be related to things such as that.

Bashly: TUI for working with Bash scripts
I didn't say anything about men being bad, I don't believe there is anything intrinsically bad about men, and in fact I reject a lot of hypotheses about gender disparity based on "masculine behavior" explanations, such as the notion that women are put off by competitiveness (I am married to an extremely competitive woman engineer and, through her roller derby escapades, have met more than my fair share of other competitive women).

You implied that I did. I'm shutting that down hard. Thanks for acknowledging.

Like I said: I think our field is weird in that home computing deprofessionalized it. I think programming methodology also deprofessionalized. I don't think it's a weird observation to make that our field stagnated or even regressed and that a lot of practices and technologies we work with today are (a) rooted in the 1970s and (b) ignore decades of subsequent research.

Since you can trace a lot of badness in our field back to home computing (which: to be clear, was a very good thing! life is complicated!), I find the "we're male dominated because hobbyist computing in the 1970s was an insular and chauvinist culture" explanation pretty powerful. I think all these things feed into each other, too. There can be more than one explanation.
Neat! Do you know if this works well across Spaces? I went with the wallpaper approach because I figured it was likely to be the least error-prone, especially across OS updates.
> All that said, the types of phone calls that Google is talking about making here aren't that beneficial...yet.

Even scheduling appointments as in their demo can be really beneficial. My wife and I both work, I have flexibility to make calls during the day but she really doesn't. As a teacher she's constantly having her lunch or short breaks while the kids are at recess taken up by work issues. A surprising number of places are also closed shortly after she gets off work as well. Yesterday she tried to make an appointment with her doctors office and spent her full ten minute recess time on hold. She did end up getting through after school right before they closed but spent an additional ten minutes on hold. None of our doctors, dentists, barbers/stylists have online booking systems. The doctors offices have automated appointment reminder systems but that's it.

> Even just wading through the phone tree and sitting on hold until an actual person is reached and then handing it back off to me.

This doesn't work for someone in her situation. There are a ton of hourly workers that are in the same boat. I showed my wife the demo of duplex last night and her responses were that it was amazing and unfortunate that it wasn't available yet.
Yeah, I get the impression that it's rare, but... it's just not a risk I can afford take.
> I voluntarily signed up for a bank account because it's good for me, and if there's nothing in the contract about them having to make me a loan in the future I shouldn't expect one and neither should they.

That's libertarian dogma that elides the whole world outside of its narrow logic.

Corporations are ultimately meant to be agents that further the public good. They're not vehicles for the unrestrained pursuit of private profit to the exclusion of all other concerns. If natural economic incentives are not enough to motivate them to act in the interests of the public, then its the job of government and its regulations to compel a solution. To wit: if bank consolidation causes public goods such as community lending to be neglected, then government should forbid bank mergers and break up large banks until it no longer is.
On a train and don't have great wifi -- but there was a super-cool poster at ICLR which demonstrated that training an RNN to perform dead-reckoning naturally produced grid-like cells. Is this an extension of that work? Or an independent discovery of the same phenomenon?

I'm trying to reproduce that original work, so far without success.
Something nobody will admit is that "creepy" is really 90% based on the looks of a person, and 10% what they are doing.

It's based mostly on relative status, and it mostly exists in the mind.

People aren't comfortable with the idea of an unattractive person potentially having a romantic interest in them (regardless of whether they do or not).

It's different between women and men. Men are a bit more physically dangerous to women, so a man liking a woman carries a bit more risk than a woman liking a man. Also, the state-of-nature potential downside cost of unwanted attention, should it go very badly, is higher to a woman than it is to a man.
I hate desktop applications. They take a long time to install, they have local file storage that requires me to spend time backing the data up, they eat up disk space on my computer system, they aren't accessible to me if I need to use another computer system, they need to be manually patched and updated, and if I am dependent on them they could restrict my choice of operating system on my desktop.

Web apps aren't perfect either but they have a lot of value to offer users.
I don't understand, why is this significant?
Wappalyzer stats indicate PHP has a 82% marketshare in 2018
Yes and to the extent that we violate it, I oppose it. Growing up in a peaceful society makes us take it for granted, but glancing at a history book underscores the importance of the rule of law.
I’m not following, either.
Almost all solar power works just fine off indirect sunlight too.

Consider that Germany has plenty of locations lucky to get 1-2 hours of direct sunlight per day and yet it has outpaced the US for many years.

New construction surrounded by redwood trees would probably still be able to justify solar thermal panels on the roof in addition to PV's, because it might make off-grid construction possible.

> Popular will is not and never has been a sustainable form of authority.

This is a strange claim. It could mean a number of things, but the senses in which it is defensible seem like stretches.

Popular will brings fascism and authoritarianism because it is a source of authority. It has been the well-documented foundation of extremely powerful dictators going back to the ancient Greek tyrants. It was the basis of Julius Caesar's authority, and while it proved unsustainable for him, it was also crucially important for the emperors that followed him for the next few hundred years.

At the other end of history, it has been a bedrock of the authority of recent dictators in Germany, Italy, Latin America, China, Russia, Africa, Korea, etc. etc. etc. etc.

You could make the argument that governmental authority, over the course of centuries, doesn't generally derive directly from the popular will. But there are three problems with that argument: first, people generally don't care about whether the popular will 300 years from now will endorse the institutions of today. Second, while it is true that governmental authority over long periods does not derive from the popular will, it is always pretty harshly constrained by it. Third, religious organizations routinely do derive substantial authority solely from popular support, and they do this for many centuries at a time.
Is Having a Child Really as Bad as Taking 72 Transatlantic Flights a Year?
In many states back east (at leas Massachusetts and New Hampshire), you can choose who is your energy supplier, as the distributor and provider are separate items on the bill. There are several "green energy" suppliers vying for your business.

This is great but has the unfortunate side-effect of some energy suppliers telemarketing to try to get you to switch to their "lower rates", which inevitably increase again after a few months.

So check the system in your state, you may be pleasantly surprised.
I recently looked into doing this for my Windows laptop, but found that it halved the battery life. Is this also a problem with running stuff like this on Macs?
This is a very interesting case where the author claims the book is not free, provides it on a public webpage, and does not want to provide a PDF or ePub. I would gladly be willing to pay for content, but I like to do most of my reading on a kindle. I am not willing to pay for a book if the author is trying to make it as difficult as possible to view his book (but at least the fonts are beautiful).
Thanks, Eric for writing this fantastic overview! It covers why we have made some key technology choices, both building off well established technologies such as Node.js, MongoDB, Elasticsearch, Redis, and AWS as well as some areas in which we've made outside of the box choices. It's been a fun adventure!

I think that this particular and special combination of leveraging open source and finding ways we can innovate technically makes being an engineer at Lever a fun and exciting challenge. I also think it comes through in our product, which stands out in a software category with many choices, but few of them innovative.
Specifically, dismissive comments full of excuses like "I'm unattractive and women aren't nice to me" are lacking empathy.
> if there's no chance of getting it fixed (and with SB827 dead, that seems to be the case)

The actual dynamics of the SB827 defeat don't really clearly support that. There is certainly an opportunity for a YIMBY/PHIMBY convergence on density policy.
Transient caches are still a useful type of data store for better performance... That said, they're noting it as a goal and a beta limitation, so they're not satisfied with pure transience either.

Sometimes if something is hard you should do it more often so you get good at it.

That is workers should be rewarded if they trip a system and after investigation it is proven the system was wrong. That worked just found a real bug and it needs to be fixed.
What is a mocking framework? Why is it useful?
That ram usage seems suspicious. I never left firefox, have hundreds of tabs open and never really go over 1,5GB Ram usage. I think you should investigate that further. Maybe one of the pages you open really leaks memory or an extension is at fault here?
I always wonder if the reason for "Cost of Living" pay is practical. If you are paying about the market rate everywhere it means you can hire from anywhere. If you just payed some set rate for everyone it could price you out of the more expensive areas. I really wish companies didn't have cost of living pay because I really prefer the cheaper places in the US but it makes sense overall.
That is what I am trying to do. The designer doesn't seem to be helping much with getting the price down though. He is basically just following the state requirements exactly and not putting any thought into any exemptions that might lower the price.
So does the beta label. :) Both will change in time, from what the PM said.
Why are you using Flash Player for Youtube? I've gone nearly 4 years since installing Flash on any machine, its pretty well unnecessary today. If you want to reduce performance though, using Flash is one way of going about it.
There seem to be a whole bunch of software folks afflicted with a fear of human interaction.

Hence this product which does not solve any compelling problem, except for those scared or stressed by human interaction. Not only is this deceptive and unethical, many will now be suspicious of calls with strangers.

For Pichai to dehumanize this poor girl and not even realise it confirms the worst fears of a disconnected technical community. What others may see as a sterile cold dystopia lacking human warmth many in software find attractive.
I had a similar experience with Redux, every event in the app went through redux. Click button > redux event fired > redux updates state > component catches state update > button listener fires.

It is a total nightmare and a horrible use of redux. That is like binding every variable and function to the window object because you have no concept of scope.

Did you do a frequency analysis to check if it is truly lossless? I feel like for some more obscure music there's really no guarantee that the artist ever released in anything higher quality than MP3. I know that Bandcamp requires uploading lossless files but even those are often from laptop mics recording on GarageBand (especially if you listen to bedroom pop).
And what, US law just magically happens to be properly balanced, unlike the legal systems elsewhere?

Following your logic, every single company in the US is either ethically aligned with US law or horrible, awful hypocrites. Apparently there are no other possibilities.
Good news, that's what I've been working on here: https://github.com/afontenot/firefox-clean

The basically idea is not to "fork" Firefox per se, but to maintain a set of patches that are appropriate for a user-respecting privacy friendly browser. If a true fork one day becomes necessary, this would be a nice starting point. For now, I'm just trying to completely remove all bad code.

You do have to build the source yourself, however, since binaries can't be distributed without violating Mozilla's trademark.
It's the talking about downvoting. You know that.

Writing docs is hard. To quote Dan from when he was writing the initial Redux docs:

> So hard to write the new docs. Many different audiences to cater to. Should make sense to: Flux beginners, FP people, FP people who don't get Flux, Flux people who don't get FP, normal JS people too. Flux people: “is this proper Flux?” FP people: “is this that weird thing called Flux?” Normal people: “why not Backbone”

Both React and Redux introduce a lot of new concepts for someone coming from a typical jQuery / Backbone-type background. The larger the example apps you show, the more potential there is for them to get lost on what concepts are actually relevant (which is actually part of what Brad was saying in the original linked post for this discussion).

The docs for both React and Redux are open for PRs. If you feel that we need to have sections that better lay out the pros, cons, and reasons to use React and Redux, please submit a PR and we can figure out the best solution from there.
Is it really that simple? Put yourself in the execs' shoes for a few minutes. You can obey the laws of China and do business in China... or you can take a stand on principle and leave the market, giving up not only the revenue, but the small amount of positive influence you might have on their society as a whole.

How is that necessarily any better for humanity than simply obeying the local laws, going along to get along, while making it clear to your Chinese customers that their counterparts in more enlightened countries enjoy more privacy, more features, and an overall better experience?

I spoke with some people at a certain well-known company working on satellite Internet service a while back, and I asked them the same question. "What are you going to do when the Chinese try to shut you down for providing uncensored Internet service?" It was hard to argue with their response. They feel it is possible to make money and be a positive influence in various closed totalitarian societies including China. I think that's basically Apple's take on it as well.

Overt disobedience to the regime is rarely a good option for companies operating at global scale. It will get your employees declared criminals in large areas of the planet, and it can literally get your customers killed.
I think you're misunderstanding what I'm trying to say. It's not statement about "kids these days", it's a statement about all people always. The fraction of the population that actually understands the inner workings of the technology we all use every day is vanishingly small, and what I'm saying is that I don't see that changing, despite the fact that "kids these days" are growing up with computers and smart phones unlike previous generations. Hence, I think the idea that we just have to hold out for the next generation who will come in with their deep understanding of computers and digital security and fix all the laws to reflect the realities of modern computing is sadly flawed.
Show HN: Snoozer – A Chrome Extension for Snoozing Messenger Conversations
While this may be a contributor now, I really doubt this is the main reason why men in tech don't talk to women more at school or work. I'd guess it has more to do with the fact that there are usually fewer overlapping interests and experiences between men and women than there are between men and men and many guys in tech have a hard time socially to start with, so it's just easier for guys to hang out with other guys (as I'm sure it is easier for women to relate more with other women).

Also, a lot of men use certain body language and tone when they talk to other men that just may not be appropriate when talking to most women (of course there are exceptions). As one example, at least the area I work in, guys are constantly challenging each others egos. If you grew up as a guy, this is totally normal treatment for our culture, if not welcome treatment. I've heard of at least a few stories where a bunch of guys tried to treat a female colleague like one of the guys in this fashion and it usually turns out very poorly.
Not the OP, but is the value in having a genuine connection with a female coworker worth the potential downside? I've got 29 years in. I'm not going to bet that on reasonableness in a world like the one we live in.

I like to use org mode for cleaning up my hard drives... a little script to pipe du into something that sums the files in a directory and adds asterisks, and viola, you have a UI for finding all the large and delete-able files & directories.

I haven't used org mode for all the other cool things it can do, but I remember watching a great video about someone who uses it a lot like a Jupyter notebook.

I'm not assuming anything about his intentions. I'm saying that to be labeled creepy literally means that someone is suspicious of your intentions. And the solution is to be clear about your intentions or, even better, your lack of intentions when they are unwelcome.
The writing style is just insufferable. Even the API documentation is littered with hyperbole and self-congratulation. We get it, you're proud of your work and extremely proud of yourself.

> "as simple and powerful as glom"

> "big things come in small packages"

> "small API with big functionality"

> "power is only surpassed by its intuitiveness"

> "simplicity is only surpassed by its utility"

> "shortest-named feature may be its most powerful"

For heaven's sake, give it a rest!

It's a big red flag about your priorities that when I go looking for a precise specification, I can't find answers to simple questions and instead end up wading through incessant marketing phrases. I tried, and I finally gave up halfway through the API doc. It might even be the case that glom is a good idea—but you're making it really hard to trust you as a source of objective information about it.

Show, don't tell. My advice to you: you'll generate more interest if you delete every congratulatory word on those pages and focus entirely on helping your readers understand what glom does instead of trying to sell it to them.
Most people only hear about terrible laws until after they have passed.

If a bad law is bad, we should definitely continue to criticize it, if only for the purpose of influencing FUTURE laws.
