Sorry, it was a visceral response.

Ask HN: Where does one find modular CSS components?
By "modular CSS components," what I mean is reusable prototypes of styled HTML user interface components -- checkboxes, pretty tables, attractive forms -- within which (and this is the important thing) all styling rules are scoped to some block-level container, be it a <section> or <div>.

Codepen, and many other sites like it, have beautiful demos of working components. However those components are seldom portable because Codepen imposes no constraints on styling rules. The rendered document is served in a distinct iframe, and authors are allowed to style whatever global attributes they wish. So using an attractive, striped accordion table someone else made is rarely trivial since the styling rules aren't scoped to a container; the "container" is the html and/or body of the document, so you have to be willing to either manually fine-tune the document's css selectors (i.e., scope them to a block-level component) or render the component in an iframe (which no one wants to do).
In what case would you ever want the second example?
How is OIDC less clean from a threat/failure model perspective?

If your organisation has implemented an OIDC IdP, you can have the API server behind a Bastion like you suggest, and accessible through an authenticating reverse proxy (Beyondcorp style) WAF. You can even have token bound access/ID tokens which are backed by hardware TPMs if you're REALLY paranoid (upcoming spec). Plus because it's an open standard which K8s heavily embraces, you get rich group/user claims mapping in K8s allowing for logging and auditing.
Paying farmers for food that they previously had to give away looks an awful lot like an incremental improvement (payment for more of their crop can be expected to increase their ability to plan).
Why not combine the approach and run SELECT statements from the command line?

I'm sure there are issues with this, but it seems pretty sane. Your sample query would read _something_ like:

It is definitely possible to lecture in such a way that students gain no benefit from turning up. The classic way to do this is just click your way through a powerpoint, reading out the slides as you go along.

In Haskell there is an operator "space" - an application operator, which applies left side to argument on right. It is a source of Haskell conciseness [1].

[1] http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.144... (Is Ours Smaller Than Theirs?)

You can have special operators when space is not enough, it is exemplified in applicative style - (<<star>>) has type Applicative f => f (a -> b) -> f a -> f b, e.g. it applies elements from right side argument to a left side argument with functions as elements.

(<<star>> is a "< * >" without spaces - HN screws that)

In concatenative languages you also have an implicit operator, much like Haskell's "space" or <<star>> above. In fact, you can invent one and use it instead of space of Forth. And that way Haskell will be concatenative too!
As someone who basically lives by text to speech, this is amazing, thank you so much.
Definitely it varies by location. The US national average price for fuel right now is 2.90, and the average cost per kWh for electricity is 0.12. Makes the running cost for the ICE vs EV even closer than my original numbers.

I kinda leave the European prices out of the discussion because what they pay tends to be extremely distorted by local taxes.

Based on a quick bit of TCO research, best I can tell is that without subsidies, EVs tend to have a TCO significantly higher than an efficient ICE vehicle. The market is young, obviously, and lots of EVs are aimed at people willing to pay a premium. A Model S, for example, has a TCO over five years of nearly 70 grand (!!). But, a Chevy Spark EV has a TCO of more like 20 grand, which is really showing how cheap they were due to GM dumping them at a loss and the big tax credit. A Prius is around 30K or so, for comparison.

I want an electric, and will get one as soon as there is something in the right price range with the characteristics I'm interested in (sporty, decent looking, sufficient range, reliable, good ergonomics). The Model 3 isn't too bad but it's more than I want to spend on a first-run car, and I won't buy any car with a single touchscreen as the sole interface.

If you get a new laptop with USB-C, what are the chances of that setup working? How much time did you have to spend shopping to find a USB-C docking thingie that works with your laptop?

HDMI isn't perfect, but it works almost all the time, with any source connected to any display; especially if you limit to computers outputting to monitors, so you can ignore the DRM garbage. To my knowledge there's at least 3 ways to output video over USB-C (actually usb, alternative mode display port, alternate mode hdmi), and I wouldn't be surprised if there's more. If you pick the wrong modes, your docking station is going to be useless later -- just like a traditional docking station used to be.
In my experience, most people who ask you to teach them don't want to learn as much as move on from this. It is frustrating, I no longer teach people. I take it seriously and it takes a lot of effort for me to teach well.
Why skirt around the fact that everyone (farmers, consumers, they themselves) is still free to donate all the food they want? Imperfect Produce has not changed that, just given some value to food that used to be "waste", which is a good thing.
You aren't disagreeing. People need food, so fund a food bank. Don't create absurdly contorted markets to preserve unnecessary waste streams to be reprurposed for food banks.

I went into this expecting to side 100% with the cities but after reading it I'm divided. I completely understand wanting to cut through some of the government bureaucracy and impose limits on time and cost of putting up these devices but at the same time then umber feel rather low.

That said it seems very wasteful that our 2-3 phone carriers are all going to be putting up new equipment, I'm not sure if there is any law/rule/agreement about them sharing but it seems stupid to have a 5G modem for T-mobile, AT&T, Verizon all on the same pole incurring the same maintenance and cost.
This seems like a perfectly reasonable policy. The fear mongering by the cities how the power grid will collapse if they can't charge large fees and delay as they see fit.. not convincing.

Giving cities control over this is just a NIMBY dream.
Well, they probably wouldn't have that TV disaster momentary panic. It is really not normal to have a bunch of devices go off at once.
This seems so clear and yet we get the "how are we going to build this huge charging network" all over the place. If the situation was reversed we'd consider it preposterous to think we could build a network of gas stations that get their fuel driven in by trucks. The current network is far crazier than just adding a bunch of outlets that use the existing and extremely robust electricity grid that's already in place.

> most Americans don't want to do back-breaking manual labor for a living

If it was just some cultural thing, then we'd have more than enough immigrants to correct for most Americans not wanting to do it. The problem is that there exists no cultural group that wants these jobs, native born or otherwise, at the pay and benefits offered. People switch to better jobs as soon as they find one.

> Americans also want food to be cheap

I assume everyone would prefer if everything is cheap? This is a problem that effects any business.
I haven't but I take your point. How do surgeons operating remotely overcome the problems?
That working in a big government setting just isn't for me. Doing data/reporting stuff in healthcare, to be more precise.

After 4 long, long years drifting around in my job, crumbled self-esteem, some mild-ish depression, I finally found another job and got out.

After a few months I realized that I was just 100% incompatible for the job I was in — not that I was unqualified or any of those other words that could also be true. I was simply incompatible.

I've learned to look at things a little better/clearer since then — evaluating things through the lens of my core values and how I feel rather than through the lens of imposter syndrome.

Maybe this is useful, maybe not :^)

I won't use the term 'vast majority' to stay conservative, but the many, many of enterprise projects would happily work on one server (well, let's make it two identical servers, for redundancy and HA).

Farm labor is a tiny fraction of the cost of retail food. It's not material and there is no dilemma.

It is extremely material to the narrow profit margins of farms, so you see a race to the bottom with importing slave labor, terrible practices, etc.

But enforcing labor standards and minimum wages wouldn't add much to the average American's food bill, even assuming farms couldn't avoid some of the hit by using less or more productive labor.

That's a quote from the article. The thought that someone with that mindset is responsible for anything more than a network-connected waffle iron is terrifying. This article advocates for willful ignorance of Unix/Linux, because you don't need any of those things if you know k8s.

That said, k8s is nice for some things. I admin a large deployment at work, and it's relatively painless for developers to be productive with. One of the reasons for that stability isn't k8s itself though - it's the legion of seasoned Unix/Linux pros working alongside me. The reason "it just works" is because under the covers, there are a whole lot of us doing all the boring stuff to hundreds of physical hosts.

No. It depends on how you and your coworkers like to organize the work.

From looking at the design docs, Solo doesn't use the ARM TrustZone, yet, so it can't validate firmware.
I agree it cuts out the very low end, but there are a ton of people left that have either dedicated or nearly dedicated (e.g. road legal but never really used for anything else).

The lowest end of the hobby will change, obviously. Not convinced it will completely go away. I think my point was it isn't a crazy bump in expense to have a vehicle you play with only on the track, though it may not be the same vehicle.

And yes, it means you can't easily drive your hobby car out to a drag strip to see what it will do. Or a bunch of other things. But it doesn't mean there is no hobby to be had - at least I hope so.

4x4 is interesting, i hadn't considered but suspect that will be under more pressure than track days.
Are high DOF robot arms easier to program? Most of the ones I've seen are usually done through human "mirroring" where the arm is moved in a generic fashion (and fine tuned by surrounding sensors) by a user and recorded similar to the pendant method you mentioned. I totally understand that a SCARA arm has a lot less flexibility. But wouldnt a low DOF arm be beneficial for an application like this, where the parts being grabbed and placed are in a highly gridded configuration?
You are still focusing too much on the cynical/mistrustful motivation. Positive, professional intentions indicate the same action.

> What aspect of the process requires a non-remote component?

For "job placement" in the abstract, nothing. I'm sure they could do the whole thing over skype were all parties so inclined.

In practice, this seems not to be what their company and customers are interested in. They do in-person onsites, for in-person roles. They're chasing a successful business with an operational scope that pleases their customers, not a locational-egalitarian remote utopia, so I don't fault them for only supporting a subset of work types. They do what works for them, and don't owe the market total coverage.
A nice use of blockchain indeed. I’d add some machine learning to round it up.
I'll bikeshed this; I'd rather see the latter ones titled as "Local emergency", "State emergency", "National emergency". What sort of intuition are we supposed to have for the difference between a severe and an extreme emergency?

Awww man, I expected an Inception now that this hit the front page. At least a hall of mirrors :-(
It's not quite as wasteful as it might seem.

Even if there was just one national carrier that owned all of T-Mobile/AT&T/Verizon, they'd still need close to the current amount of RRUs + gear + backhaul, to support the same number of total users on all of the various spectrum bands being used.

There would be some maintenance/cost savings. But not a huge night-and-day difference.

--

For what it's worth, Portland charges $250/month for a point of presence (from the article). I'm no cellular expert, but from my WISP days, that's the cheapest rate I've ever heard of for a such a thing, short of donations on farms and windmills and the like. Similar rent on a cell tower would cost $1,000 to $3,000+/month.

I'm totally open to the idea that cities could be overcharging for utility pole access -- that a few cities abuse the hell out of this authority and that this should be corrected. But the FCC's rule forces Portland to drop the rent from $250/month to just $22/month. At this extremely low price point, I suspect the city of Portland would actually be subsidizing the majority of these site costs for cellular providers, at the expense of their city's budget.

For comparison, it costs something like $2k to $3k just to build or replace a single pole (in cheap low-CoL suburban areas, using cheap wood non-metal poles). At $22/month, if a pole was used by Verizon alone, a city wouldn't break even on the cheapest possible initial pole costs for about 10 years (and that's assuming it never needs maintenance or repair or temporary movement ever).

If cities lose this fight, I would expect them to raise their income taxes and/or property taxes to cover the money the FCC is making them give cellular telecoms.
Ask HN: Recommended approach for managed docker deployment?
Imagine you've got a consulting engagement to build a fairly standard web application, and it turns out your client isn't staffed properly to stand up, configure and manage production infrastructure. Assume you're comfortable with Docker, and would like to focus on building the app, not taking ownership of "devOps"-type tasks, rather to limit the scope of deliverables to docker repos/containers/images. What guidance would you give the client in terms of infrastructure / deployment and production concerns? Beyond "tell the client they need to hire ops expertise", that is. :)
Thanks in advance for your input!
