Isn't that basically the same thing as inline styles?

Not quite, for a few reasons:

Inline styles don't respect media queries, which basically rules out responsive design

Inline styles aren't limited to pre-defined options, meaning you can still end up with 90 different shades of blue)

Inline styles cause specificity issues, since they trump separate stylesheets.

Inline styles don't support print-specific styles.

Inline styles can't address pseudo-elements (such as ::before and ::after)

Inline styles can't apply to multiple elements. Utility classes can define .bg-blue once and have it apply to many things, which leads to shorter markup and quicker rendering speed.

Inline styles are a pain to type. Compare class="f-sm bg-blue" to style="font-size: 10px; background-color: #0000ff;".

Utility classes fix all of these things.

You are utterly and completely wrong.

Thanks for the confirmation. Sounds promising.

Do you happen to also offer free email forwarding with registered domains?
When you have a combative environment most unopinionated people leave. I don't think there is any secret that there are a lot of us out there that aren't very excited about Linux anymore. Just that most of us decided to spend time on something else instead.
You can use `text-primary` or `text-secondary`. Sure it's less obvious looking at the markup what something looks like but it allows for theming.

Sorry, you are right; I got confused about the claims with the multiple threads of the discussion. You are right: Harris claims family is essentially irrelevant.

Nonetheless, I don't think it's fair to jump straight to "sensationalism" to explain why he has different findings than yours. Perhaps your sense of influencing your children is more illusory than you think. It wouldn't be the first time a widely-acknowledged phenomenon with children turned out to be in the imagination of parents (consider "sugar high," for instance, which does not really exist).
By all means, you should use whatever criteria you would like to hire your own staff.

But in general, I would encourage folks in computer tech industries to be hesitant to assume such a binary approach to evaluating prospects. "Did you code for fun in high school?" might be a useful question now, because software development as a field is so young that high school students can try out significant work easily.

But in most high-end professional fields, that's not true. Imagine asking a prospective medical resident "did you treat any diseases in high school?" or "how much surgery do you do in your spare time?"

I think we should take it as a positive sign that people are approaching software and computer technology as a professional career that they can professionally pursue. That approach can produce great work too, and a growing field means a greater diversity in how people find and display their passion. Getting a CS degree is not easy, and requires some base level of interest and commitment to complete. Even a bootcamp is not free, and takes some focus and work.

Anyone above a certain age (like me) came into the industry sideways, as it was developing, as a result of personal passion and interest. Let's not mistake that for an inherent property of a good tech employee... every industry on Earth started that way at some point.

Computer technology industries are maturing, just like railroads, oil development, aviation, telecommunications, and dozens of other industries have over time. That's not bad, and we will have to take it into account as we consider the model employee.

Hiring people who are "not proven" might also mean hiring people who are well trained, but maybe have not yet proven their passion in a way you recognize.
Physicists would love for some observation to end up breaking physics as we know it.

They know that 99,999/100,000 times something strange is observed, it turns out to be no big deal.

The day something breaks the Standard Model, physicists will cheer and begin a beautiful renaissance... and another... and another.

But can intelligent creatures in a simulation ever understand the scope and rules on which their simulation is based? Or can they only get closer and closer to the substrate, with a hard limit on ever modeling the details?
This comment, https://www.reddit.com/r/science/comments/9immmj/honey_bees_... , explains what I was referring to.

I wasn't directly saying that bees were submerged, just that the amounts they used were far higher than most real-world exposure scenarios.

I know it's sacrilege to try and defend Monsanto, Facebook, or Google on HN for any reason whatsoever, but it would be nice if people didn't go full-on "NaturalNews.com" mode whenever the topic comes up.
As a dyed-in-the-wool trekkie, this makes absolute sense. Fans understand Trek in ways that CBS execs do not and never will. Therefore, CBS are scared shitless whenever some fan work comes up that they think may remind the fans how shitty the official output is and how far from what many consider the true spirit of Trek.

... yeah, I'm talking about the Abrams stuff. And -more controversially, I guess- Star Trek Discovery [1].

Bingo. As an "old timer", it's not that we don't care; we still love the craft as much as ever. It's just that we are at a point in our careers where we can afford to have a much lower tolerance for bullshit.

There are so many companies track their users, small, medium to huge enterprise. Why just focus on google? Do you think microsoft don't track users? Linked-in has no tracking? facebook, apple and those small and medium size company?

I should change my question to what company has zero tracking or spying on their users? Do you guys know how many tracking and analytic companies out there help businesses to gather user data and do analytics, ai analytics and so on? Last month I just met a friend who worked in speedtest.net, visit my country and sell their user data to one of the largest ISP here.(kudos to who have account at their service).

Seriously, i am just wondering why just google? I ask so because I saw many title about the same topic just focus on two companies, google and facebook. Just wondering...By the way, kudos for duckduckgo, i really like that search engine. !g, !gh,...its so versatile.
I DEFINITELY recommend trying this out before you decide utility CSS isn't for you.

The practical dev workflow of using tailwind is a breath of fresh air.

Coming back to old projects with bespoke CSS is SO PAINFUL to edit/change compared to something built in Tailwind.

You absolutely also have the power to make css components/abstractions as well.

> for some people in "your camp" you'll be the nasty one.

I'll go one further. "The nasty one" is a role that usually begs to be filled, even in a good cause. Sometimes it's even essential to progress. "Good cop, bad cop" works. I'm more likely to play "bad cop" myself, though at least I'm usually aware of it being a situational role. I've definitely said things that would have violated a CoC if there had been one in those situations, so I do understand the fear of them, but here's why I chose that particular metaphor: even the bad cop is usually working within limits. That dynamic can still exist, and still be effective, even within the limits of a CoC. People can still be demanding, critical, even abrasive ... and they will. They just can't be bigots or harassers and expect to keep getting away with it.

"Had to" pull it back? Well no, you chose to act - your hand wasn't forced. And saying no from the beginning is the same kind of picking and choosing when drug paraphernalia gets a pass.

GP is completely correct in their read on the situation - there is a double standard.
I started playing with Nim last weekend, after the article on here about Nim.

I absolutely love it! I'm looking for an opportunity to use it at work for something minor, and I have been porting a few of my (small) Rust applications to Nim in my free time.

Such a pleasure to work with and so intuitive.
Have you considered maybe American companies simply aren't competitive enough compared to the local players. American products are often too expensive because the companies want high dollar profits to show their shareholders, even if the cost of production, which is often outsourced, doesn't justify the high market price.

Also, as time goes on the skills of the entire world population is being equalized. That is to say, the skilled labor market is becoming global. When that happens American workers and middle class simply can't keep enjoying the high wages that are currently prevalent.

Unless of course, you want to start a new era of imperialism and force developing economies to confine themselves to the lower end of the value chain.
At a startup, we interviewed purely for being able to d x task in Angular, Entity Framework, MongoDB, C#, and other components of our tech stack.

It worked out well for us - we just needed a website built.

The company I work for now interviews only on the fundamentals and problem solving in language of choice - I am starting to come around and see the benefit of this, but it seems it only makes sense with senior candidates who context-switch a lot and need to intrinsically understand GraphQL the moment they hear about it because they know it's a graph.
Figure 1 looks weird. At day 0 the ranges for the bacterias in the evaluated groups (C, G-5, G-10) differ a lot - Is this noise? Why?
If i interpret this graphic right the study did find bacteria changes at lower levels of glyphosate(G-5), but not at higher levels of glyphosate expose (G-10).
I am no bee expert but I doubt that bees normally eat sugar syrup all day - which also will contribute to the weird stuff happening in the C-group in comparision from day 0 to 3.

Docker staff have been saying words to the effect of "we'll make an announcement with info soon!" for at least the last three+ months, across several projects. Swarm, Docker-Machine, & Infrakit come to mind.

With no actual announcement(s) then occurring.

The commit activity graph on InfraKit - which people are supposed to use now that Docker-Machine has been deprecated - seems pretty clear:

https://github.com/docker/infrakit/graphs/contributors

SwarmKit is the same:

Clearly these aren't where resources have been placed.

Actions are not lining up with the words given. :(
Wow, you respond to a comment about false dichotomy by invoking the false dichotomy.
Is GRPC available for Nim?
> And will we provide the right environment for them to grow?

This.

I'm so tired of investing in my work and my workplace to have obscure management "advice" on fixing my character flaws (e.g. being too soft / too emotional) to have any chance of growth by trying to transform in to something they want.

Part of that is on me- the picking and choosing of battles is a real problem for me- I care a lot about maintaining high standards for code quality with automated linting and formating, for instance.

I like having soft skills and as I tell anyone I'm interested in working with- I want to work with nice, intelligent people; in that order.
Why would any company have do hire people and train them? Companies these days don't really come to a hault if they're in need of a few developers, and as the market is saturated, they can hold out indefinitely until they believe they have a "rockstar."

According to my experience, a lot fewer companies than even a few years ago are in a hurry to talk to you despite them having a job posting and you having more experience. Most of them will take their sweet ass time, and it will take even longer if they've replaced their HR or their own recruiting process with a recruiting firm, and usually they'll engage in the same process of finding a "rockstar" while taking their time because then they can fit in time for another client and make more money.

Besides, the incentive for hiring the unproven developers is quickly dying off with services like Triplebyte that can test and interview developers for you for a nominal fee. Those who would normally be in charge of hiring at a company never gets to the point where they've interviewed a bunch of people and decides that they're tired of interviewing people and hires the candidate who seems the most intelligent.
Medical students are often the best students from many other faculties or programs in their undergrad that end up in 1 program.

> The Code of Conduct also has a few questionable statements, such as not judging people based on their technical abilities, which is a super important thing when you're actually developing one of the world's largest operating systems and people like to contribute garbage.

Where exactly does the CoC state this?
And what about when companies these days exploit the term "caring"?

I like programming as much as the next person here but i'm not going to code 80 hours a day. I also like going to gym and working out, riding my bike, playing soccer and hanging out with friends.

Companies these days expect you to have side projects or contribution to popular open source libraries while having a job. Oh and did i mention asking you questions about algorithms and data-structures that you most likely haven't used in years and won't be using for foreseeable future?
The history book you read was so whitewashed it may as well been bleached.
It's hard to truly care in any soulless corporation that cares only about profits and IT is seen generally as a pure cost centre (banking is worst in this, but others are not stellar either).

Another aspect is meaning of life - if your response is work, then you either have that 0.01% type of work which really matters (and is hardly IT, maybe in Red Cross/MSF style), or much more probably you are just lying to yourself.

Life has so much more meaning outside of work, outside of sitting in front of computers. The older you get the more clear this should be, even if you started as a hardcore IT geek. I know I did, but boy am I glad I moved on.
Mainly there are really nice people with no influence, Machiavellian sociopaths with smiling faces, the unperturbed who often come across as haughty and boring, and the Linuses.

The haughty people often get more on my nerves than Linus.
It doesn't necessarily have to come from a subwoofer. Dolby specifically states that the LFO channel does not have to correspond to a physical speaker. The LFO channel only exists to ease retrofitting a subwoofer into old cinemas (in that case they would simply wire the LFO to a subwoofer and be done). But any other channel can contain bass information and in practice a new cinema will use a bass management system to route bass from all channels into their subwoofers. In theory a cinema could also have no subwoofers at all and send all bass to the mains and drop the LFO. It all works.
> Instead, because people do not seem inclined to naturally believe that corporations might have ulterior motives

People worship at the altar of success, and there aren't many relatively new companies as profitable as FB. That's not to say that these companies don't spend significant coin in pushing their inane message of "we're connecting the world" wherever they can. And mass media for the most part go along with it, mostly focusing on the stock price, rarely bothering to examine how FB makes its money and what tradeoffs that comes with.
I do agree. Just because someone is your customer, does not mean they are without fault.
For a while (before I found zig) I was looking for a language to do my hobby development in. Most newer languages lack a comprehensive library ecosystem, but I'm not a fan of having a giant web of dependencies anyway so one of my criteria was "how much would I dread writing my own X?". You always take a productivity hit when starting out in a language anyway, and making your own libs that interact with real code and data gives you a much better feel for how a language is going to work in the real world than more common "hello world"-like exercises do in my opinion.
> Create a table with time as a primary or sort key and you'll get fast queries with full SQL and joins.

Be careful with this. You can easily end up with pathologically bad performance, resource usage, contention etc. if most of your requests end up being directed to the same workers or shards in a distributed system. Partitioning by time can cause this because most queries tend to be for recent time windows.

Time can be a decent primary key withing a shard, but is normally a really bad choice for any key that's used to partition data between shards. Make sure you understand how your system partitions data so you don't fall into this.

Apologies if that came across as pedantic - you probably already know this, but hopefully some other readers can be saved from learning this through painful experience.
>> 3. Will this candidate get along with coworkers?

> Duh. But also, how do you actually test objectively for this without introducing bias?

You can't because it's a bs metric like "culture fit". After about a dozen people, you can no longer ensure people will get along or like each other. I only have five brothers but I don't even like all of them.

People have quirks, and it's easy to find reasons to pass on candidates because of them (reminds me of Seinfeld and how the characters ended relationships because of man hands or toes). I see this a lot in non-technical hiring where marketing folk exclaim "I like the candidate, we have great rapport" only to discover the candidate was subpar.

> I'm really of two minds on this topic.

I used to be, but after suffering through a bout of mental illness that rendered me an anxious mess when I was once the life of the party really changed how I evaluate this dimension. Be kind and assume the best, which we can all agree would be amazing if the tables were turned.
It wasn't easy and it was a big risk. Sometimes things didn't go well. We did diligence on all the products -- everyone was required to send a sample to us before we granted a license (which is why the reddit office was filled with fan art, nice bonus!). We did diligence into their previous expertise in manufacturing and who their vendors were. Sometimes we even hooked them up with vendors we knew were good if they just had an idea and didn't know where to go to make it happen.

One thing I did was create a public "alien design standards" document that described the correct proportions and colors for the logo, which had to be followed.

But yeah, it was a risk. But it was less risky than ignoring it, and far easier to do the diligence than it was to C&D everyone (I think, I don't know since we didn't C&D people).

I don't think most older ecosystems were any better. For example Unix is a cobbled together mess. Autotools is a terrible mess of a build system, etc.

Big "professional" ecosystems aren't much better either. Just look at all the jokes like "fizzbuzz enterprise edition".
Weekly Machine Learning Opensource Roundup – Sep. 27, 2018
>If you would like to offer a solution to the fact that the vast majority of people in this country now expect software to be free (save, some AAA video game titles), I am all ears.

Subscriptions? I pay for Netflix, Amazon Prime, Github, MS Office, a VPN, and probably a few others.

If you're B2B, use price per user/customer/developer? e.g. Highcharts was worth the money vs. free options.

The problem is there's no guarantee you don't also collect info or decide to play ads even if I pay for a subscription.

Avoiding burnout: lessons learned from a 19th-century philosopher
Isn't is easier to change one person namely myself, rather than try to change one other person, let alone many?

The culture and the world always evolving and changing, it can be worse or better or whatever, most importantly for me is how can I make myself adapt to the every situation and make the best of it.
I guarantee this will not increase kernel quality, nor will it increase the number of contributions from women.
It's unlikely that someone can be impervious to all and every type of insult and at any point in your life, as long as you are human.

In some cultures e.g. Japanese, being publicly accused and insulted is worse than insulting - it's a mark of shame that doesn't go away.

Unfortunately people simply can't rewire their brain, especially as adults, and that's why good manners exist.
It's possible you are right, but the net daytime migration into Berkeley is positive. There are 20k more people during work hours than overnight. Housing prices in Berkeley are high because of regional demand, yes, but mainly because they haven't built any houses while undergoing a sustained longevity boom. Basically the people who live there now have always lived there and their children have to live somewhere else.
