My idea is inspired by the way IDEs keep track of a system of associated files. If browsers could manage a project file that stores tab and window data that can be saved and restored, without using any built in bookmark feature so that the project file can be saved and stored in git, then I’d be deliriously happy about this.
I think it depends on the use case.

It's a little weird to keep talking to your edits. How come Putin is being ridiculed and it doesn't make him ridiculous in the eyes of the populace? I mean of course not all the populace is on the Internet and not all of them are reading the same stuff I'm reading, but still, many, many people are exposed to the ridicule, which means that Putin has lost this battle of hearts and minds as far as those people exposed are concerned.

I'm so tired of seeing articles like this. WHO CARES? Nothing about this story is repeatable. It deludes the masses in terms of real prospects of starting a business. The headline alone is just clickbait. It's completely unfair, as it robs desperate people of a reality check. I wish I could downvote this.
This is cool. I like it, and will probably use it in my work, but it feels like there’s a lot going on. I don’t like how some of the final leaf nodes seem to be shown differently than the nodes higher up. Sometimes different chart types, sometimes reversed axes. I would also reccomend use of swarm plots for showing your regression scatter plots. Swarm plots are sexy, but not in the laughably uncomfortably way of the very similar violin plot.
I think you just put words in my mouth, which is difficult to respond to on the internet. Of course I agree with you about which is worse. Have you thought about how I can both agree with you and also believe that drawing the line is hard?
Unlikely. How good someone is at doing their job is unlikely to correlate with their social-media consumption/output or their purchasing habits; those three would be the bulk of the data. You might be able to find that someone is a particular kind of hobbyist, but not whether they're any good at it. Actual work is likely not public.

> I don't believe in the government obliging businesses to do things.

Yea, but I'm a big fan of regulated food, clean water and pollution standards. Upholding your obligations is a requirement to receiving the protection of the government as you conduct your business. It's a two-way street.

> Especially when it looks like this whole thing is Google specific.

The better question is whether Google is acting as a monopoly in the regulated domain or not, if they are -- then this isn't a relevant factor.

We'll get to them eventually.. but why shouldn't we go after the biggest business first? Wouldn't that provide the greatest reduction in harm?

There are already plenty of laws which make transacting business in China more difficult for US based companies. It's not as if it's laissez faire except for Alphabet Inc.

I don't disagree, but you haven't made a sufficient case that "favorites" are being played or that other factors aren't more prevalent.

Worth noting that the Canadian regulations are looser than USA in that respect - the Air Canada pilots were in compliance with home regs, but would have been in breach of FAA regs.

Other point is that the NTSB isn't generally particularly shy about calling out the need for expensive changes (one example being their recommendation for fuel tank inerting systems after TWA 800). They have no power to mandate their recommendations be implemented after all: that's the job of the FAA.

Re crimping RJ45 - the better way to do terminations is to use the EZ-RJ45 pass-through plugs like the ones made by Platinum Tools. You need a special crimper, but it's night and day easier. If you're using AWG23 Cat 6, you also need to make sure your plugs can handle those wires (not an issue with the Platinum Tools plugs).
It's surprising that the Apple Watch still doesn't include an ANT+ radio receiver

Most of their competitors? Garmin's latest watches won't even talk to an ANT scale anymore (well, there's $300 kinda wasted). Garmin still has their line of ANT+ accessories, though.

Moreso, I view ANT+ as the protocol for the athlete that isn't going to be using an Apple Watch during their workouts. "Oh, your $600 Garmin power meter pedals don't work over BLE with your Apple Watch?", asks no one ever. There are BLE heart monitors, foot pods, and power meters if you absolutely must use your sensors with something Apple. No, it's probably the optimal solution, but it's the solution Apple's market will be happy with.

I find it a little disturbing how we can have laws that stipulate how companies have to treat their workers and conduct their business but as soon as we start talking about ensuring what we consider "rights" are being taken care of overseas it's too far.

Not quite as disgusting as how we ended up with torture, including waterboarding, indefinite detainment, and a whole slew of fun activities in the early aughts that made great recruitment ammo. All under the sentiment of "Oh, well if they aren't Americans they don't have rights." Or "If they aren't on American soil they don't have rights".

There is a case to be made that the Bill of Rights is an extension of the "unalienable rights" mentioned in the deceleration of independence. That you can't take those away or give those to people. That the Bill of Rights simply enshrined and protected them, not provided them.

Maybe we should rename the Bill of Rights to "Bill of Perks for being in America" and retcon our founding principals. It's interesting seeing people who would probably consider themselves "libertarians" arguing against legal action protecting peoples liberties..

It makes them look like they do not care about putting on a good show, because they do not feel they need to and they find it funnier to present an obvious circus.

It also might be doubling as a public punishment for the spies for being sloppy. Putting them on TV like that is directly telling them that their careers are over.

I think it's a business evolution thing. You can see live reads from TV shows in the 50s (and radio). Later on you see "presenting sponsors," which I'm now seeing more and more in podcasts. As it becomes more of a commodity I can see it moving to pluggable ads.

I like the podcasts are niche. I heard someone point out the other day that companies investing big in podcasts are putting their money in talent and content and usually have poorer encoding, metadata, and shownotes compared to the smaller podcasts.

I am not aware of non-anecdotal results here and I would be interested in seeing them - of course many CoC proponents will say that it's the right thing to do whether or not it produces a more technically meritorious project and this is legitimizing the view of a meritocracy, but I am personally expecting the answer to be that the project will in fact be more meritorious, and I think data would go a long way to arguing against (what I perceive as) biases and gut feelings against Contributor Covenant-like CoCs masquerading as data-driven concerns.

The biggest indicator of future socioeconomic status is educational attainment. The biggest indicator of educational attainment is wealth.

> Where does the biggest source of material wealth typically come from? Housing!

> Was housing policy racist? Very explicitly so, even in the progressive Bay Area. See: redlining.

> Are some of the policies that stemmed from racism still on the books in major metropolitan areas? Yes! Many of these exact policies are what's keeping from more housing from being built right now!

What policies, you ask? Here's a few.

- Excessively large minimum lot sizes

- High setback requirements

- Very low height limits

- Very high car parking requirements

While many of these requirements sound reasonable on their face, they were in fact implemented to keep out PoC [1]. Now they're used by people on the top of the socioeconomic pyramid to keep those on the bottom out.

This goes far beyond having a local variables being assigned (assuming you mean the local being assigned and not mutating the object assigned to the local).

For Skip to have to know that the actual instance is immutable, and that no one has a reference to a mutable version of that instance. If the inputs/outputs change after the memoization, we cannot guarantee the correctness of the reactivity/cache-invalidation.
Thus for memoizing the inputs/outputs to a function, we need to know that the object, and any of its fields, will never be modified. In other words, we need to know if the object is transitively immutable. In order to get this sort of analysis, you need the type system to provide the information, and it is not enough to have a simple local analysis.

I made no such argument for no regulation. My argument is that we have a set of rules, and we should not interfere with decision making if rules have not been broken. If in response to some exploitation of the rules which you deem as unhealthy to society you may pass new rules to deal with that behavior. You can't just mess with someone because you don't like them.

If you compare class consciousness between the US and UK, this is bigger than just unions. Britons, from an American perspective, have a mental block that prevents them from even considering the possibility of social mobility, while Americans, from a British perspective, have an irrational faith that social mobility will happen to them.

The difference in attitudes isn't altogether surprising. America was settled by people who left situations they were unsatisfied with instead of staying and trying to fix them; that's why they came to America in the first place. Europe was left with the people who decided to stay home and either resign themselves to the situation or try and change things from the inside.

Find a new career? Start a new company? Americans are the descendants of people who found a new continent and started their own country. Of course we're not going to see ourselves as held serfs and agitate for better treatment.

That would be way too subtle for the common folk. Whatever GRU's plan was, in reality most Russian people just take it at face value: Russian spies got exposed, Putin's lie got exposed, the spies put on a miserable show on TV, and now even their true identities have been exposed (only one so far, but I expect the other one to be exposed soon, too). That's a failure.

I'm pretty sure you're reading way too much into it because you've been told Putin (and, by extension, his subordinates) was a great tactician one step ahead of everyone else. I never believed it and I don't believe it now.
it would be nice if they at least upheld the same values of the country that they themselves are a product of.

Facebook former Messenger boss calls WhatsApp cofounder new standard of lowclass
I didn't build one from scratch, but I recently purchased https://introcave.com for low 6 figures. Though my background is more full stack, my current day job is mostly front end. Most of the product/ux/ui work is done before things hit my desk (agency work), so I really enjoy being able to run something on the side where I'm making those decisions.

It's profitable month-to-month, but until it recoups the purchase price I'm thinking of it as a really expensive hobby. I recently purchased a better domain (https://intromaker.com), and at some point in the future I'm planning to build a more dynamic render engine and do some sort of subscription service (less targeted at youtubers and more geared towards agencies).
