If you use a YAML parser to parse JSON-with-comments, it will accept many inputs that don't correspond to JSON-with-comments, and furthermore is likely to report syntax errors that don't make sense to a user who only knows JSON.

So, this unnecessary parser complexity is a usability issue. You should use a parser for the config language you actually intend to support.
I realize this is more of a socioeconomic division, but I haven't used Coinbase in over a year, OTC is so much better.
Type hinting in Python is so ugly that I stripped it all out after a few days of using it on some personal projects. They more than double the length of function signatures and create comment clutter (is this a real comment or some MyPy flag?).

I wish there was a way to fully separate the hints into separate files. Such files could act like header files in C. Or, some comment character other than # to start type hint (how about "!"?), so IDEs can hide them if the user wants.

Top 7 Proven Ways for SaaS Growth Hacking
when I was at he.net, the outage reports were all about ATS failures and the like. I mean, switching that much power is serious busines... a lot of the cut-rate datacenters I've been at mostly had power outages when their switching equipment failed, even when they had decent UPS and generator capacity.

Personally, if I were building a cut-rate datacenter with used/unreliable power equipment? I'd build two parallel power systems to each rack. Each customer would get two independent power feeds (and stern warnings to not use more than 80% of one circuit total) (I mean, while new kit is super expensive, used power conditioning equipment can be had on the cheap if you are in the right place at the right time.)

Then, so long as customer buys dual PSU equpment (or their own small ATS, and I've had better luck with 20a automatic transfers switches) they'd be fine.

Of course, I've never gotten the chance to try, (well, I did kind of have a chance once, but I kind of blew it for non-technical reasons before I got to build out a power system of my liking.) so maybe I'm missing something. Maybe the electrician work is more expensive than I think or something.

I'm a little surprised that anyone with any scale still uses he.net for physical hosting; Last time I tried to negotiate with them, at my scale (20kw) they essentially charged $400 for every 1.4kw, (and they gave you a rack with that 1.4kw) which is kindof a terrible deal compared to higher density co-location providers like coresite or BAIS, where your racks are closer to 5kw each, but that rack usually comes closer to $1300 or so.

(Most rackmount servers are power-dense enough to eat 5Kw of power in 42u, with some space over)

This means that after your first few servers, the higher end datacenters are actually way cheaper.

I mean, don't get me wrong, I think he.net bandwidth is a great part of anyone's BGP mix, and I think that he.net hosting is the best deal around if you only have 1.4kw of power and want your own rack (often they will sell you your own rack, 1.44kw of power, and a nice unmetered gigE pipe for $500 a month, which is a killer deal for a rack and a gig. But it's kinda terrible if you are using serious amounts of power)

On the other hand, the he.net remote hands are... some of the best. I mean, they are remote hands and super junior people, with all the problems that come with that, (remote hands is, as far as I can tell, a junior sort of job many places I've seen.) but they are on site, on the ball, and every time I called in, they were right there, and it's free.

Last time I called coresite for remote hands, they said they would charge me $200/hr... reasonable, I suppose, for getting someone junior-ish out of bed, but they had to page the person, and their person still wasn't there two hours later when I was able to arrive.
I was clearly referring to Jim Crow era segregation. And, if your point is that all supporters of Jim Crow era segregation, which is super racist, will inevitably do more things that are super racist, why must we wait for them to do additional super racist things before judging them to be unfit to be a CEO of a large company? Similarly, once someone has demonstrated that they hold opinions contrary to the best interests of their employees, why must those employees wait until after they become CEO for them to demonstrate that fact yet again? If they have demonstrated that they are unfit, they are unfit, and they shouldn't have the position.

> Banning certain political views almost always going to harm overall inclusion.

Nothing was banned here. His position was that same-sex marriage should be illegal. Their position was that someone who supports same-sex marriage isn't fit to be a CEO of a large company, making decisions about a diverse workforce, based in a state where same-sex marriage is legal.

I'm also unclear about your definition of inclusion - is it just finding the largest number of people that happen to agree with each other?

> Refraining from firing people regardless of their political views would not cause the world to fall apart.

Its not about the world falling apart. Its about the right of employees to express their opinion of someones fitness to be their CEO. Which is totally the right of the employees of Mozilla to do.

> I really hope you realize that you're supporting the ability of a privileged elite (stockholders, CEOs, managers, etc.) to police their employees' political activity and coerce them into political submission through the threat of termination.

You are literally arguing that employees (ie: not the privileged elite) shouldn't speak out against the opinions of their CEO (ie: the privileged elite).

The way Pocket is integrated in Firefox is a problem for me, may not be a problem for others and that's completely understandable.

For me Mozilla was the "open" browser (and "clean" too). Integrating Pocket in it by default, in a way that it cannot be "completely" removed, put me off. Heck, they could just ship the browser with it installed as a "normal" extension that can be "completely" removed like any other extension. And maybe disable this extension by default, or keep it enabled they'd really want it that way.

And no, if I want curated trending stories I will go the website I want to read those from. Or I'll install a relevant extension of my choice; maybe Pocket.
It's worth warning that Dance Dance Dance is a sequel to his Rat trilogy (which ends with A Wild Sheep Chase, which for many years was the only in the trilogy available in English). It makes references to characters and events in those books.

Personally, I read it after The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, which is his masterpiece. Compared to WUBC, Dance feels like a unfinished dress rehearsal by a middle-schooler. Dance is full of ideas, but never builds a cohesive universe. There are killers and shared dreams and/alternate universes and so on, but none of it adds up to a very satisfying whole. WUBC, on the other hand, actually constructs, in quite masterly fashion, a mythology. Murakami is able to hold himself back and keep things mysterious, but the mysteries don't seem random, and the drama around to unravel them unfolds organically. It feels like a very carefully planned novel, unlike some of his other ramshackle plots. And the dream magic isn't there for weirdness; it actually serves a very important narrative point, one that leads to plot resolution and real catharsis, and the magical aspects don't seem so magical as David Lynchian, like something out of Twin Peaks (especially the revival series!). Some of his books, including Dance, seem full of intentional weirdness where Murakami is throwing everything at the wall to see if it would stick, but everything in WUBC just works.
All I can think about when reading post-modernists, with their critique narrative of western science and rational authority, is that they just want more sex. No surprise, since the most prominent post modernists are French. Kidding here and sort of not. What are you left with if you critique the West as a phallocracy, patriarchal oppression of women, and ALSO objective knowledge? Something like: "Let's get together and feel alright!"
To summarize, Flutter provides no automated or easy means to save/restore state when Android auto-kills the app (e.g. because of low memory). The main problem here is that the `onSaveInstanceState` and `onRestoreInstanceState` lifecycle callbacks require a synchronous response (return value) but the IPC system between Dart and native code is inherently asynchronous.

React Native currently has the very same problem. This is the reason why some very useful native components that require synchronous delegate callbacks (such as UITableView and UICollectionView from iOS) are not available from RN. However, the core team at Facebook is working on a "large re-architecture" that will allow synchronous calls into JS, fixing these issues:

This is interesting in that here "the normalization of deviance" describes situations where behaviors that can be measured as objectively bad still wind-up normalized through implicit group consensus.

That such deviance still happens suggests strongly that deviance around things that are less clear and less likely to result in harm to the professional would be even more likely to occur. The simplest example is anyone who faces the public and is expected to give full service. It's easy for that to breakdown when it isn't convenient. One can see this today in everyone from bureaucrats to police officers.

Generalized data structure synthesis
I agree that the way forward has to lie in companies being more willing to locate job opportunities where people are, rather than expecting people to relocate to where companies are willing to provide job opportunities to. It's completely silly that such a big part of the value being created by clusters of economic activity, such as large corporates, startup clusters etc, should end up in the pockets of landlords who happen to own real estate there, plus generating inefficiencies like traffic congestion etc.

Have a look on any nearby electronics, if there's a symbol of a crossed out rubbish bin, often with "EU ONLY" printed underneath, then WEEE apples.

So it's highly likely a scam; I was always skeptical, but I should have been more skeptical based on their website, but I was like "Eh, maybe some high net worth individuals just don't really care about website aesthetics."

They bait you with a private offering memorandum with an attractive valuation, which is based on absolutely nothing tangible (hence my skepticism), and after you invest more time (and get greedy/hopeful), they will ask for a 25k retainer payment for a lawyer who is in the scam.

Well there you go it's a power outage.

Specifically, what people actually complain about are the <pre> blocks, not the <code> tags. Markdown code sections use both: https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#precode

>Pre-formatted code blocks are used for writing about programming or markup source code. Rather than forming normal paragraphs, the lines of a code block are interpreted literally. Markdown wraps a code block in both <pre> and <code> tags.

Presumably, <code> to indicate that it's code, and <pre> to preserve source formatting, since HTML renderers will eat tabs, spaces and newlines. This has been the behavior of <pre> since at least 1997: https://www.w3.org/MarkUp/html3/literal.html

>Preformatted text between the start and end PRE tag is rendered using a fixed with font, in addition whitespace characters are treated literally. The spacing and line breaks are rendered directly, unlike other elements, for which repeated whitespace chararacters are collapsed to a single space character and line breaks introduced automatically.

This works less well with the modern diversity of viewport sizes and pixel densities. (Not as much of a problem 20 years ago.)

Blockquotes don't do this, and act like regular HTML blocks, (<p>, <section>, etc) with normal line wrapping. HN-markdown doesn't implement blockquotes. Would be great if it did!

> I'm not sure we've demonstrated that men behave any differently

We don't need to demonstrate it because men can't take advantage of the gender diversity wave, they were talking specifically about untalented women(in tech) taking advantage of diversity programs that are supposed to help talented women. The reason this is important is because it creates the stereotype that the reason women need diversity initiatives is because they are not as good as men are in the field.
That 30-35 hours of TV statistics counts in people who watch TV while doing something else - cooking, cleaning, eating, sleeping, just having it on background while talking with people etc. I used to learn while watching TV - it is not as effective as without it, obviously, but I still learned enough to have good grade next day. You cant directly compare the two as if 30-35 were focused activity.

When you watch so much TV into night that you are too sleep deprived next day in school, skip lectures because of it or is failing the school, then it is problem too.
Edit: I'm happy to be wrong. It seems the cross-domain checks dont allow this. I missunderstood stuff on the article/thread.

I want to say a few things regarding "insecurtity" of localhost. I find it completely insane and a huge overlook that the downloaded js can access your localhost PRIVATE services. It should be able to access external public services sans cross-origin etc policies. But the browser should not allow access to your localhost services by default, never. They are assumed to be private services. Everyone uses them as such, taking advantage of the (lack of) security implications.

If you download a program, and install it, you are open to the same problems. But, there is a huge difference between installing something and clicking a random link on the internet. Local services should be treated the same as files in your computer. Block everything unless explicitely allowed by the user.

The short answer is it depends on your firewall rules.

The long answer is if the sender configured their routing to point localhost to your host then your service would still connect and route traffic back to the foreign address. But this type of attack can easily be firewalled against.

There is also the potential problem of reverse proxies. However that requires local machine access anyway.

Raise your rates and concentrate on delivering value.

First contract won't give you the best rate and you will most likely not be in a position to negotiate a great deal. But that does not mean you should not try! Negotiate, negotiate, negotiate.

Delivering value is different than just doing your "job". Help the business and carry more than your weight. This can also mean questioning(in a polite and constructive way) what you are doing. If you can see that the problem could be solved in a better way, then speak up.

Once you have shown your value, then you are in a better position to negotiate - so use it. The more you know a business the more you are worth to them. The more experience you have as a contractor the more you are worth to new clients.

BUT as someone else also very wisely pointed out. It is a game of diminishing returns. By being a contractor you also somewhat step out of "normal" career advances. You can raise your prices up until a point, where without a doubt you can live a very, very comfortable life. But 10 years down the road you are not necessarily advanced to a higher position. Which can be fine, but you need to think about it of course.

> I strongly suspect the justification that interpreted languages don't meet performance requirements is more ideological than empirical.

Nope, it is based on production code life experience and seeing everything crumble with high CPU usage for little work being delivered.

Any programming language without a JIT or AOT as part of their default toolchain is not worth using for anything besides scripting.

> Besides, it's likely the existing binary will run faster than its transpiled descendant!

Given how old Extended Pascal compilers are and that D has three backends, two of them based on GCC and LLVM respectively, I pretty much doubt it.

Firefox uses H.264 for YouTube on macOS, so it can use the system's H.264 hardware decoder, which should be faster and use less power than a software decoder. Chrome uses a VP9 software decoder on YouTube. You can try VP9 in Firefox by setting the about:config pref "media.mediasource.webm.enabled" = true, but it is disabled by default for good reasons. :)
