You are judging this from the perspective of what is possible in a developed country today. I am judging this as a student of history.

Historically, famine was commonplace. We make a big deal about it now, but from what I gather, The Irish Potato Famine is remembered ironically in part because it was kind of one of the last big famines in Europe. Before that, famine wasn't even newsworthy.

So in a very poor country where survival is a big issue, "good man" starts with "does he even have the capacity to provide for a wife and kids?" It does not begin with other niceties concerning how kind and so forth he is.

"I want a man who's kind and understanding. Is that too much to ask in a millionaire?" -- Zsa Zsa Gabor (Has "first world problem" written all over it, to the max)

Edit in response to your edit:

there is no entitlement to be idle.

Full time wives cook, clean, raise children, etc. Implying that being a full time wife and mom is a life where one is "idle" is incredibly misogynistic as it completely pisses on the very real value provided to the world by traditional women's work.

On a traditional farm where women had a garden near the kitchen for spices and vegetables and men provided meat, grain, etc, both worked to literally put food on the table. Around 300 years ago or so, we began shifting labor around to free men up to go do paid work as money began to become more commonly available. "Women's work" wasn't inherently valued less than the work of men because there wasn't a clear dividing line between "This work is worth pay and this work is not and the dividing line closely corresponds to gendered roles."

The problem is we now devalue women's work because it doesn't pay money and money has come to be more central to our lives than it once was. Historically, money was not the way we parceled things out.

The display in the 2017 MBA is atrocious, and the processors are really old at this point. USB-C is better than magsafe at this point, because charger interchangeability is amazing, and it doesn't lock into laptops like the old barrel jack connectors. It lets go when needed without damage in my experience. Durability hasn't been a problem on a single USB-C device that I own. Do you not think smartphones get abused more than laptops? Yet the port continues working fine.

Why not just get a decent Windows laptop, if you want nice port selection? The X1 Carbon is incredible, while Dell, Microsoft, and more offer yet other options. If you truly love MagSafe, the Microsoft Surface series offers magnetic charge connectors, good displays, and regular USB.

If you wanted a laptop from 2014, there were plenty of ways to get one without paying Apple their premium price.
The problem is that women still look for men who can provide for them, even if they can provide for themselves.

> The remaining question would be the utility of marriage stability.

Completely agree. Context about specifics of marriage matter. There isn't even a single notion of utility.

Perhaps another way to drive the point home is to enumerate possible (immediate) causes of divorce:

infidelity, money, poor communication, frequent arguments, weight gain, unrealistic expectations, lack of intimacy, lack of equality, lack of preparation for marriage, abuse. +

In many cases, ending an existing marriage is going to be a much better outcome then alternatives for at least one of the partners involved.

Azure is somewhere between 2 and 4 times as expensive as Google cloud. If you stop doing a stupid revenues comparison like all articles are doing and factor that pricing difference, then you will realize that google is more successful.
You can now run macOS in Linux KVM (https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM), although I guess you'd need a beefy machine to have Indesign run fluently in a VM. Also I don't know if and how the license manager works in a virtualized environment. I guess overall it's not more hacky than Hackintosh :)
Not sure if I'm the only one who feels this way, but it seems to me that many, if not most, JS starter kits are either over-engineered, or come with too much out of the box.

If you really want to "quickly prototype" a game with Phaser 3, the easiest way for me has been to just include Phaser from a CDN, download the Phaser TypeScript definitions, and then just start an HTTP server. Adding a tsconfig.json is just one extra, optional step.

If you're just prototyping a game concept, you probably don't need a module bundler/Webpack at the start of your project; either you have to download a starter kit, or spend time working out your build configuration. I personally just think it makes more sense to figure out the build later on, when you intend to release an optimized bundle.

I have similar complaints about Polymer's PWA starter kit (which comes with an entire Redux setup and more). In general, I just think starter kits should be the absolute bare minimum, rather than being opinionated.
There's a book "Math for Machine Learning"
Hhmmm, I’m not really sure I see the point wthis: it’s really only “get started quickly” for “the single exact case where you happen to be using JS and DynamoDB and Webpack”. It doesn’t seem to really offer anything over the base format that you couldn’t add in like 2 mins flat anyway.

Would you say there's a further point of distinction between someone who just looks and someone who shares it with others?

I'm specifically talking about the latter case, even though I personally see no such distinction.

I've been noticing that as channels get more custom tailored what is available to the mass market, where tastes are less refined, has been steadily receding in quality. Outcast to Drake; MacGyver to Ice Road Truckers.

But the opposite has happened on the other end of the spectrum. Emancipator or Bonobo (or Romare or Pilotpriest or or Nicola Cruz or Nu or Pantha du Prince or Sampha) are just leagues better than what we had even ten years ago. Sure the mass market is drinking down Fast and the Furious 9 or Transformers 11 or Spiderman ∞, but the quality of the films that are targeted at the intelligentsia is head and shoulders above what we used to have. Even television has stratified.

I think the internet has something to do with it. People follow people that are smarter than them because they learn from them or they interact with smarter people more because they tend to get upvoted more, but there is a window of potential interaction. None of my family members are on HN and very few of them follow me on Twitter (out of the 130+ of them). Then you move the smart people to the smart cities and the normal, day-to-day interaction that would have happened no longer does.

The fact that you have to make a throwaway account to voice such an opinion makes it clear that you know that it is indefensible.

What are your real motives?

See, I don't have to make a throwaway account, and I'll tell you right here that in my youth I had two different pedos in my life attempting to groom me into being victimized. I guess the nature of predation made me a target because of my vulnerability at the time. Luckily I got through that part of my life unhurt, but when I think about it -- just barely.

All those people whose pictures are being looked at did _not_ get away unhurt and those that consume such material deserve to rot.
>>And yet... it's like scaffolding in NYC[2]. Absolutely useless[3]. But if you are all for removing it, and a brick falls and hurts someone, heads will roll.

This is a question of shifting liability and sharing responsibility. If a brick falls when you knew the facade needed maintenance, then the liability falls solely on the building. If the scaffolding falls, then the liability is borne by the scaffolding company, or at least shared.

If people you respect are pointing towards antivirus protection, you might also want to inquire whether they are saying this purely out of technical reasons (i.e. surface attack area, which could be debated), or if there are financial risk management factors tipping in this direction.

Since you're picking the OS for everybody in your company, which presumably includes multiple departments and staff who are non-technical, it seems like madness that you'd let them run amok without some level of antivirus.

But -- leave the poor developers alone. One hopes that the company was capable of hiring technical staff practicing basic day-to-day security hygene.
Yes. I think I covered that when I said Even if you pull that off, there will be women who actually want to be home with their children when they are little. When I worked at a Fortune 500 company, I had female colleagues who expressed regret that they could not be home with their children. They could not afford it. They envied me the fact that I had been home with my kids.

Given that pregnancy can result in debilitating health problems, a woman can wind up bedridden while pregnant, a woman lactates following pregnancy and may want to breastfeed the baby, etc, I don't think we will ever have a slam dunk solution here.

If you are capable of getting pregnant, you cannot realistically discount the possibility that you will need your partner to be capable of adequately providing for you and one or more children, even if you have zero desire to actually be home with them. That may not be a choice. Sex can lead to a pregnancy you didn't intend and that can lead to situations where working full time is worse than staying home if you can afford it.
You know what's really funny, we had this exact same issue with developers.

Yeah, your UI runs fast against a local copy of that API with a local ElasticSearch instance backing it with 0% load on a $3000 Macbook, now test that bitch on a $100 dollar Android running on 2G against AWS.
You should double-check the grammar and writing on your site; have a native English professional do the writing. Also, the screenshot shows an "I'MSKILLED" logo (vs IAMSKILLED). My opinion (remember, _opinion_): the name is silly, which won't resonate with your target audience.

Also, what on the homepage tells me what the product is? "next level", "simple", "functional", "platform", "automatically", "easily", "next generation"; remove all of those and replace with the features of the product.
It's an obvious trope of racist discourse. Maybe the most obvious of all time. Therefore it's flamebait, in addition to whatever else it is, and the fire department needs to turn a hose on it.
I agree: learning the specific notation becomes trivial once you understand the underlying mathematics.

I think it's fair to say that Phaser is pretty established. If you're just targeting the Web+2D, you can get a smaller output too, rather than, say, bundling Unity into your game.

Not a knock against those two, they're both quite good. Phaser is definitely a reasonable option, though.

> Writing code, not strings, means you can do everything to it that you can do to code.

These are tagged templates, not strings. They work as code at runtime, and it already has support to optimize it, compile it, etc. This is JS all the way down. And spankalee mentioned below they're adding typescript support to type check the very similar lit-html, so that's coming too.

> That's why I like JSX, it's Javascript all the way down. Everything is code. It's a very well designed and thought out DSL.

It's also kind of a weird to highlight all this for a DSL that actually has to be parsed from a string to get it to be Javascript. Everything else you're talking about is tooling that had to be built special for it, not the language itself.

Why not just say "I like the style of jsx embedding and existing tools better" :)

When discussing a teenage girl being auctioned off on facebook, that does kind of come across as just a wee bit insensitive and prefacing it with 'not to sound insensitive' doesn't in fact assuage that in any measurable way.

Single incidents sparking outrage are a force in society that we are not going to get rid of any time soon. The last thing we need is people outraged over an incident of slavery to be told to be apathetic, as the people who help promote it, which now apparently includes facebook, aren't going to suddenly be all reasonable if everyone shouts less about single incidents. While the solutions that are required may be structural, everything ever complained about is an incident.

> For AWS it seems like to get things that "work" you almost always need to do it yourself instead of using Amazon's offerings.

So our company spends tens of millions a month with AWS across our 50+ teams.

Never once heard of AWS services not working and never once saw people needing to roll their own replacement Redis, PostgreSQL or ElasticSearch instances. And at least with AWS you have options to have these managed services where as the product offering from GCP is extremely limited. Not to mention that GCP is absent entirely from the serverless discussion which is a game changer.

Can you be more specific as to why GCP implements things correctly and AWS doesn't ?
Er, the option to install your own keys could go away too as easily, right?

How the Wall Street Journal is preparing its journalists to detect deepfakes
I disagree, as someone who has nominally used serverless (but never on Lambda) and nominally used webpack (but with little experience outside the context of building with webpacker in a Rails app), this actually looks like exactly what I needed.

And I likely won't use DynamoDB, but little depth has been spent on explaining anything at all about Dynamo, it works as an example of how to get to use serverless plugins. To me this looks like just enough tutorial to cover the top of one page without losing my interest.

Reading past the "serverless offline" part, I think I've just made up my mind and will try the serverless framework again.

Well there are few of us that find this very helpful.

I usually avoid boilerplates but concise and minimal ones (like this one) are very handy to kick-start and get straight to hacking part.
I have another example. We have Google Apps for a client. So sometimes a security notification comes, when you check the admin panel security reports you find nothing. When you log in as the particular account, you get the actual security notification.

It’s incumbent on you to make your point with contemporary examples or heavily explain why old ones are needed (and even then it severely weakens the point). I too was extremely confused with your examples.

Sure there should be charity in reading but the default assumption is not that your examples are 26 years old. Many people here were either children or not even born yet.
If someone can google exact answer in 15 seconds (to be sure they are saying things correctly), in some situations it's also great. This fact-checking instinct is good.
I’ve written tooling to support lit-html and styled-components in editors. Template strings are sort of nice to write but complete pain to support in editors. They are just like a macro language, so you end up with stuff like: `<${tag}>...<${tag}${slash}>` which is not possible in jsx. Even just detecting syntax errors is a pain

Obviously if deciding between making life easy for editor implementers or making life easier for coders, the coders win, but if something is unnecessarily difficult to build good tooling for, that’s a sign of poor design in my book. And coders will ultimately suffer too because their tooling will suck and because their code will make use of all the crazy flexibility the library allows.
> I realize that in our culture auctioning off children is not acceptable, but who's to say we know what's right? maybe we're OK auctioning off rabbits or religious artifacts but another culture would find that horrific.

Generally we consider auctioning off people to be different enough to classify it as human trafficking, which is seperate from selling animals or objects.
