We've recently learned about that designer/developer distinction where I work.

We asked the designer to do the HTML/CSS/JS for his web designs. Brochure website turn around times decreased but the code is far more difficult to maintain. In some cases, I've had to reimplement a component just to adjust sizes.

There's a lot more technical thought than meets the eye behind well structured static frontend code. It's a skill in its own right and programmers tend to produce better work than designers when judged solely on technical aspects. Alas, a designer always has the edge when it comes to visual quality and that's arguably what sells the work.
I bought an Dell "gaming edition" laptop last year for about 700 bucks. It's my daily driver dual booted with Ubuntu, and Windows, and it handles any modern AAA game with 30+ fps or more.

To me the PC Master Race meme started with FPS games (CS 1.6/SourceGO vs COD on console), the cultures around the various platforms, and how video games in general just seem to be more enjoyable with a mouse and a keyboard than a joystick (not to mention you can be much more accurate with the crosshairs),. The only exception to me are fighters and drivers.

The meme then slowly morphed into this pseudo-elitism about graphics and performance, but most "pc master racers" have at least one console, if not two.
> Wasn't some sort of engineering-grade complex analysis part of your EE (undergraduate?) curriculum?

You'd think so, but it wasn't. Closest we got was probably the linear systems course, but that wasn't super close. I did a little more math than usual in that I took real analysis as an elective, but I wasn't able to squeeze complex analysis in.
This is some of the craziest stuff i've ever read. I must be naive, i've worked a couple big firms but have never seen employment terms like these.
Right. It's important to have up to date drivers. ProtonDB receives many reports with outdated ones (those are colored in red and not counted toward the aggregate rating)

True but with an explicit arrangement.
There is already a democratic way to resolve the issue. Ask the elected politicians to change the law, and vote them out if they don't do what you want.
That's not how VAT works. All three companies A, B, and C pay $10 each, because they have all added $100 value to the goods they have sold. Is that not how it works everywhere?
Ways of seeing – How to understand culture inside a client's organization

> I just can’t believe that the EU ... actually ... tries to regulate something it does not really understand just because...

This is generally how government works! But it's even worse than usual in the EU, since it's an unaccountable transnational mega-bureaucracy; MEPs are not directly elected, they are appointed by their political party after proportional representation votes (which haven't had turnout higher than 50% since 1994).

You think Congress is beholden to lobbyists now? Imagine how bad it'd be if state representatives could get "re-elected" each term without ever having to put their record to a public vote!
Well, except for the dual booting part.
> Your argument doesn't make sense to me. When do two bikes pass each other? That literally never happened to me, if it did I would yell the other biker saying they're going the wrong direction.

On a bike path?

> When are there stationary objects on the bike lane? When a car is stopping, and that annoys the hell outta me and by no means ok or the norm.

(Practically) at pedestrian crossings too, but I assume that GP is referring to objects along bike paths/lanes like trees, sign posts etc.

> If there are a lot of bikes on the bike lane and convoy goes at 30 kph that's perfectly fine, I go 30 too. But if people go 25 and some asshole is trying to go at 35, then we have a problem.

What if there's that one guy going at 15 km/h when everyone else is at 25 km/h? This also assumes that there is a convoy to speak of. I'd regularly ride mostly alone, only occasionally passing other people.

So to summarize, the argument probably doesn't make sense to you due to differences in culture, city planning population density... You name it.

In a dense city with a lot of bicycle riders I personally think that a 25 km/h limit is reasonable, but on a rural bike path without crossings or stops I'll easily exceed that comfortably and safely.
I tried this for a while but I used Windows so infrequently that I was constantly interrupted by updates whenever I did boot it up.
Purely anecdotal and I've never worked for or on a team whose main responsibility was Linux administration, but at two places I worked in the past, our Linux guys didn't like SUSE. It wasn't a technical problem, and more marketing could probably help fix the problem.

I have a SUSE Linux certification, and at two companies folks from the Linux team commented that SUSE makes them uncomfortable because they're unsure of how to pronounce the name. It's like GIF or Porsche but worse. Half of them pronounced it Suzy, like the person's name. Some pronounced it closer to Zeus with a -e at the end. Some pronounced it "Soos" like it has a silent -e. They preferred Red Hat or Ubuntu not because of technical superiority but because they were embarrassed to attempt pronouncing SUSE. It's likely the only time they heard it pronounced was from coworkers who didn't know how to pronounce it either.
Perhaps they could become a "museum" and change a dollar for "membership"? (Kinda like the bars in Utah.)
You can access your bookmarks on the desktop by going to http://mobile.twitter.com/i/bookmarks, but it really doesn't make sense to me that they're not integrated into the non-mobile page. I often bookmark things because I want to read them a) later or b) on a bigger screen. Currently, only the first use case is supported by Twitter.

It's the standard in many universities and many countries that consider the university your employer if you have a full time equivalent dedication, even if the university only considers you under some kind of stipend or scholarship.

And yes, it's outrageous.
Both em and rem refer to element sizing. Rem is relative to the base page font size, while em is relative to the containing element font size.

The consequence is that nested em specifications are cumulative; 1.2em of 1.2 em of 1.2em gives 1.2^3, while 1.2 rem is fixed, antwhere it is used on the page.

This is not of itself good or bad, it is behaviour. Use it to desired effect.

As examples, I prefer to specify font size within elements (header, nav, aside, article, footer) in rem, font size of contained text (h1-h6, code, blockquote, pre, generally) in em, and width of text elements in em.

This allows for less CSS (most of my styles are a few dozen selectors, often less), as relative text doesn't require respecification, and content blocks are defined in terms of sensible, reader-focused, preferable widths, padding, and margins.

Much of that is personal preference: I design around article text, mostly, not wireframes or pixel-perfect layouts. The designs also tend to be robust.

Examples:

html, body {font-size: medium; line-height: 1.4;}
article { font-size: 1rem, width: 40em, padding: 2em 4em }
aside, nav { font-size: 0.9rem;}
header, footer {font-size: 0.8rem}
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {margin-top: 3em; margin-bottom: 1em; font-weight: bold;}
h1 {font-size: 2em}
h2 {font-size: 1.6em}
h3 {font-size: 1.4em}
h4 {font-size: 1.2em}
h5, h6 {font-size: 1.1em}
.callout {font-size: 2em; width: 50%; padding: 1em; margin: 1em: margin-left:0; float: left: clear both;}

Relative sizes of h1-h6 don't need to be respecified when used in header, footer, aside, nav, or .callout elements. And in callout, they're automatically scaled to 2x 1rem * factor -- cumulative application of em sizing.

With simple DOMs, this can be useful. Complex DOMs and stylesheets may benefit from direct specification via rem.
Climate change: Five cheap ways to remove CO2 from the atmosphere
Gab is a relatively new site and you might be surprised to learn that it wasn’t that well known before. But you can bet that after an event like this most companies are wanting as much distance as possible with the content of the site being in press worldwide.

Twitter allows David Duke on their platform, but he’s careful not to post the kind of things you’ll find on Gab. Twitter allows everyday racism and white supremacist speech. They do not allow you to talk about culling millions from this country violently. The difference is that Gab does and won’t remove it.

I think we should be equally careful in how we combat ideologies that lead people to and even encourage violence. Where were all of the free-speech slippery slope people when YouTube and other groups were banding together to combat ISIS recruitment on their platforms?
This looks really great and seems to handle some things better than rails-erd (multiple relationships between the same 2 models).

Exactly. The best reason to hire IBM is so you have a company who is big enough to sue when something goes wrong.

True. TFA literally says, “will soon be available for pre-order.” Come back when you have a product, please.
Not OP, but for me it works flawlessly. Load times are instant, lots of nice quality of life features.

Not tried multiplayer, but it's hard to make that worse.

Also never worked out how to mod things, but if you're just after the vanilla experience, it's very good.
A truism I've seen - the best predictor of back pain is having had back pain.
After an initial injury about 20 years ago, Alexander technique made it worse, but only because an incompetent instructor shoved my back when I was not expecting it. Feldenkrais helped with recovery a lot after that. A few years later, floor pilates helped as well.
Now, it's been Stuart McGill's 'Back Mechanic' book, which helps one do some self diagnosis, and select a set of corrective exercises for your individual set of symptoms.
McGill may not be the final word on the topic, but he is a good one, with a deep background studying spine biomechanics.. As whiddershins wrote: "..no one thing seems to work for everybody. And the level of talent and expertise of the instructor/healer is usually more important than the label someone gives to their modality."

simple software that’s easy to use is anathema to companies like red hat. to the extent you can keep software simple, you won’t need red hat, pivotal, etc. these support companies have every incentive to make you dependent on them. think about that next time you reach for one of the technologies they peddle.
I haven't come across good material on the matter. If you do use C++ I do recommend you employ RAAI idiom in code generation for help with lexical scoping for your language.

BTC can't extinguish debts and taxes in any nation-state on Earth.

Taxation is in fact continually reducing the value of Bitcoin when it's applied - you can't pay your taxes in BTC, so you have to sell some of them to gain USD to cover your taxes (easy enough: you do it when you trade). But the person you sell them to has the same requirement - they will have to sell some BTC and trade out into local currency to extinguish tax obligations. The long term trend is everyone eventually must trade out of BTC to cover their taxes.

The trajectory of BTC is inexorably down - the current market is irrational.

Hey Twitter, it's not bad to give users a little choice.
Why is there no way to waive that right? It's not a criminal statute.

I'm not saying the recital 32 is great, and clear and amazing. It's not, but it doesn't mean much until it gets into a draft regulation/directive, gets challenged in court, etc.
Similar results. Sometimes the Google bubble helps.

But I agree. I check on DuckDuckGo, if I can't find what I'm looking for, most of the time, adding !s finds it. If not, I go back and switching to !g.
My daily commute (when I rode a bike) was much shorter than a Tour de France stage. You have to consider that that's the average over more than 20 consecutive day-long legs.

I think you are underestimating the difference between maintaining an average speed during a whole day and maintaining that same speed for 20 minutes.
A non-hardcore checklist would look pretty similar to a camping checklist. I have a storage bin with this stuff that I can throw into my truck and head to the country side.

- [ ] water: a LifeStraw or some kind of filtration system and a couple storage containers (maybe 2 7-gallon containers)

- [ ] food: dried fruits, beans, rice, whatever other dry food you want to pack. if you keep it in a container in your pantry you can just eat it whenever and try to keep it replenished

- [ ] shelter: a tent

- [ ] tools: fixed blade knife, solar flash-light/lantern, fire starter, shovel, axe, rope, tarp, compass, whatever you want to grab from REI or Home Depot.

- [ ] first aid: they sell kits at REI or you can assemble your own

Keep these things in a reliable place, maybe a tote in the garage; and keep your car in good shape (gassed up, tires are good, have a flat tire kit, jumper cables, maybe a spare battery, spare gas); and you'll be pretty reasonably prepared.

Some bonus items:

- [ ] a gun or bow for hunting

- [ ] some seeds for gardening

- [ ] some dry fertilizer for gardening
The ceo of intel was fired because it was one of his employees and it is specifically against compaby policy, not because he was cheating on his wife by comitting the act.
> It comes off like you're saying "well if shit really goes south I'm screwed so these people should be too"

I think it's more a recognition that we are social creatures, and that the minimum-viable unit of social reproduction is the village cluster, not the lone-wolf individual.

The notion that these folk are going to "survive" in any meaningful sense is a fantasy.
What does that actually mean. I use likes for kind of a reading list. Will I have to use an external tool now to manage that?
Without likes, twitter is useless to me.

PUT request with HTTP authentication is quite standardized, isn't it?

The problem isn't that there are no standardized way of doing it. The problem is that the existing standardized way of doing it has no adoption, because it's not really optimal for current needs.
Yep, bought Populous 3: The Beginning from GoG the other day, would not work (except in software rendering which was so slow as to be unplayable). It was €0.79 so whatever, but it was a bit of a disappointment. What about Windows legendary backward compatibility ?
Show HN: Metacopter – Advanced Drone Search
Nitpick: unauthorized entry is a misdemeanor, but visa overstay is just a civil offense. This makes the comparison to speeding even more apt, of course.
Hey HN, this was sitting around 80% developed for awhile, so I decided to complete it to hear that if it has some utility to you. I wanted to make filtering as quick and detailed as possible (still lacking though, like video features), and comparing easy. I'll be adding more drones. For folks don't like Material UI, sorry, wanted to give it a go back then. :)

I'd much rather those games just become unplayable.

I've had so much trouble with anti-cheat systems that I will now refuse to buy or play any game that uses easyanticheat or battleye. I don't care how much it costs, how many of my friends are playing it, I'm not giving another penny to any company that uses those programs.

I get that it's not an easy problem to solve, but i'm so goddamn tired of having to shut down services dedicated to controlling fan speeds in my machine, having to disable network adapters, uninstall vpn software (not just turn it off, uninstall it), and wasting hours trying to figure out why it would crash on startup only to find that it was finding a pcap.dll in a random folder in my downloads from when I was messing with some traffic sniffing stuff on this system like a year before that, and it decided to crash without any warning or error...

Cheaters suck in games, and they can ruin it for many others, but there has to be another way other than forcing your paying users to jump through this many hoops. And if there isn't, then i'm happy to be doomed to playing against/with hackers and cheaters rather than not being able to play at all.

And I know it's kind of co opting the purpose of Proton, but if they refused to accommodate these anti-cheat systems, then maybe either the game developer or the anti-cheat vendor themselves will see some of the potential paying customers they are excluding and will significantly retool their systems to work.
Start with a realistic but not "end times" scenario: something like an extended power outage (2-6 weeks). Be ready to take care of yourself and people in your household. If you've got any leftover time/energy/skills/resources, organize with your neighbors. Are there any medical professionals in your neighborhood? How about people with useful skills for rebuilding (ham radio operators, electricians, civil engineers, etc.)? Look for CERT programs in your area, they're a good start.

For sure! That should prevent almost all issues.
It doesn't really save on salaries, though, unless the company is so small that it doesn't have enough work to take up the time of both a full-time full-stack developer and a full-time operations person and can replace two people with a single person who does both jobs.

It costs more because someone with both skill-sets will demand a higher salary than someone with only one of the skill-sets.

Interestingly, he probably wasn't the first person to run a mile in four minutes:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-minute_mile#Possible_othe...

Probably none of the previous cases is sufficiently well documented to be recognised on its own, but there are several cases that are 90% certain, or thereabouts, so probably at least one of the previous cases - there are more of them than the three mentioned in the Wikipedia article - did involve someone running a mile in four minutes. There's a whole book on the subject, I think, but I can't remember the title.
I've gotta wonder about your system config. I've got Wireshark, Viscosity, probably a TUN driver or two from another VPN install, fan control, system monitoring and I've had no problem at all.

I don’t care about the overly sensitive downvotes because HN has been turning more into Reddit anyhow but - you left out firearm.

In any “without rule of law” scenario you need a real means of protection. While this may be a shocker to some people if you try and fight with a knife, even if you have edged weapons training, there is a great chance you are going to bleed as well.

I hope people who have had the state tell them they don’t need a firearm never have to figure out that should have been their own choice to make.
