it's been a long time, but I speak from experience. Made a few mistakes, overdrew a checking account (by like $50), and I had a tough time getting back on my feet. Nobody would give me a bank account of any kind. I cashed my checks into cash at walmart. Perhaps there are better solutions out there now, but at the time I was lucky to discover US Bank didn't look into chexsystems so eventually was able to get an account with them.

Which is a way of suggesting that it does both ways. I don't know how people develop the skills necessary to approach someone they don't know.

Attorney here! (Not providing legal counsel, though.)

It’s a common misconception that the word “effective,” as used in the respective legislation, was intended to mean “successful” or “always cause.” Rather, it’s always been interpreted to mean, “is designed or intended to have the effect of.”

The fact that the measure is not always successful or is breakable does not make the law no longer applicable; that would be an absurd result. The law isn’t interpreted literally when the result would be absurd; this is doctrine that goes back to at least 1892 and even further back to English common law. See, e.g., Holy Trinity Church v. United States, 143 U.S. 457 (1892).

Choosing a best friend for the next 50-60 years is hard! Staying best friends for life is hard. Maintaining romantic feelings and enjoying the changing things sexual partnership brings over a lifetime, is hard too. Oh, and let's throw in the enormous perspective and life changes that children bring.

It takes two people who are willing to put in the time, energy, occasionally sacrifice, and explore together. For longer than people are really capable of projecting. Certainly longer than they stay the same person.

Alternatives exist, and I'm happy people explore them. But IMHO the core problem of a long human relationship isn't made any easier by adding more humans. 1:1 communication/connection seems a lot simpler than groups of any formation. And going through life without a close, long relationship (of any kind) does miss a lot of the value of the journey.

So props to those who make it, and figure out how to keep on making it. Props to those who discover they can't make it with that particular person. Props to everyone except the assholes who give you shit for trying.
I dunno. Violence in marriage is less frequent now then it used to be. Part of that is changing status and opportunities of women, but part of that is when people treat marriage as economic arrangement then what they get is mini startup with hard way to leave.

That era also have a lot of jokes about marriages that ends up with both partners despising each other and calling each other names.
Important elaboration: kildeskat ("source tax") changed when and how the income tax was collected, from being something done privately and retrospectively for the previous year, to being something your employer takes care of before paying you, thus increasing collection efficiency. It also significantly simplified calculation.

It did not introduce the concept nor change the size of income tax, which some might interpret the comment as stating.
I'm not sure this is still the case or has been for some time. The maintainer of iTerm2 commented on it here https://gitlab.com/gnachman/iterm2/issues/5922 and here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14800195.

Also recent versions include a metal renderer[3] (not sure if it's enabled by default) which might be even faster, I have been running it for some time but have not noticed much difference.

Another reason why it might be hard to notice is also because when one is using ssh you anyways have the network latency so might be one is simply trained not to react to latency in terminals as much.

I strongly second this approach. I would also check some code but only as a tie breaker. I've seen people writing such messy code with useless random variable names, inconsistent style, etc. That can be fixed. Attitude at problem solving is harder to teach.

I don't understand why you're getting downvoted, completely agree.

I'm hoping WebASM can save the browser from this foul language. Don't even get me started on server-side JS; if it were a nice, sane scripting language, I'd agree, but the amount of hoops, translators, hackish dev tools etc that have been thrown into the mix to wrangle it into a workable experience... it's too much.
Physical violence is more likely to be done by husband - by factor 10:1. Verbal abuse is less unequally distributed.

This is helpful because the article is behind a paywall, but it makes me curious about the ethical/moral/legal questions that arise from a tool that seemingly copies other site's content verbatim.

People might get annoyed with publishers like WJS for putting content behind a paywall, but at least they are trying to find a sustainable model in this post-web world. Putting up a paywall is a pretty gutsy move given the abundance of free news options.
Aws CodePipe or Workdocs does not agree with this...
Casting to uint8_t* is not portable either, so it's not particularly better than using compiler extensions that let you increment void*.
While I agree with your point, your example of React literally adds a DSL that requires a pre-compilation step. It's not required[0], I get that, but it's still a new language.

Great job Dan, please keep posting more articles on your blog!
I bought a German made car last year, its drive away price is about $60k USD in the US, I paid $120k for that in Shanghai - 25% tariff, 17% VAT, 25% sales tax, 10% vehicle tax, that is 77% combined. Trump choose to focus on the 25% tariff part and complains that it is difficult to sale American cars in China. What Trump didn't want to tell is the other 52% that apply to all cars including domestic brands.

On top of those taxes, to get the new car registered you need a number plate right? the number plate is auctioned monthly, every month you have about 5% chance to secure the number plate even if you are willing to pay the current market price of $16k. They don't call it a tax, but it is obviously a tax collected on every car owner in Shanghai. statistically, you can keep bidding every month for 2 years and still couldn't get your car registered. and no there is no way to buy such number plate at $16K USD from other owners/the black market, the only alternative option is to pay $60K USD to the gov to get a motobike number plate and convert that to a regular car number plate. Again, it is a tax.

Once you have everything above sorted out, congratulations! time to pay tax for petrol! For every $1 you spent on petrol, around 50% of that goes into taxes. Time to hit the roads right? Time to pay the toll roads then. In some provinces, we are talking about toll stations every few kilometers. Too expensive to even use the new car? Fine, just park it somewhere - $200k USD for a car park in my building, as expected, don't forget the $50k taxes/levies/agent fees/stamp duty on top of that as well.

Life in China is like playing video games in Expert mode and those numerous taxes is by far the most significant reason.
Back when I worked in China, avoiding taxes was super common. I even received SMS spam advertising consultancy to companies about how to avoid them. The company I worked in wired my salary in multiples bank transfers from different accounts. The after taxes salary ended up only 1-2% less than the one before taxes because the declared&taxed income was just around 1000$. The bank never asked questions.

In China, companies are in charge of paying the income taxes for you but they usually have the means to dodge it, and the workers are complacent since they benefit from it too.

If China starts cracking down on it, lots of Chinese with high leveraged mortgages (up to 70% of their income sometimes) will be in trouble.

If you make software for a living, you’re likely earning income in large part due to the fact that not just anyone can copy your software for free.

Writing news is work of perhaps a different subject, but it can’t be denied that like software development, a significant amount of real work goes into that. How can you justify that the authors shouldn’t be able to reasonably expect to have control over their work and expect to be paid for it, if their consumers deem it valuable?
In the locality where I lived, families had been living for years in the same house as they own the houses. Everybody in the neighbourhood knew each other.

Now most of those families have sold off their homes and they were turned into apartments by the builders.

Now people don't even know the people who live in the floor above theirs.
Thank you so much gorhill. So much, for making the web a better place.

I vaguely remember the first few times I wanted to do something more than paste magic snippets to my .emacs file. I knew nothing about Lisp and was not much of a programmer overall. The concepts of symbols and quoting were somehow really hard to grasp. It's strange now to imagine what was so hard then.

I have no memory of pointers being a hurdle like that. But I guess the concepts are somewhat similar so there probably was a time like that with pointers also.

I always thought, when 1 Billion Chinese will start to drive cars instead of bicycles, we're all toast (literally).

I'm pretty much aware about prototype inheritance in js. But still scratching my head everytime, I try to understand difference between prototype and __proto__.

Engineers too often assume that the text of the law means what they think it means. This is one of those cases where a lack of legal education serves them poorly and leads them to incorrect conclusions.
Canada is mind bogglingly big.
I strongly dislike this article. The article portrays the view that divorce is something that's "ok, because situations change and it's alright to change your mind". I say this as someone who almost got divorced this past year.

The problem with divorce is that most of the time it involves breaking a promise—a vow actually. And that's the real issue that I find so disturbing. In fact, I see no problem with two people saying "I will marry you and stay with you as long as conditions x, y, and z are met". As long as both parties understand the conditions going into the marriage and recognize the possibility that it may end under specific circumstances, then fine with me. Who am I to judge someone's lifestyle choices?

But breaking an unconditional promise to be with someone forever is disturbing. I'm increasingly repulsed by this idea that people aren't responsible for their actions. Cause always has an effect, even if it's an effect that is delayed for years. And personally, without having some basis of moral axioms (keeping your word for instance), then it really just feels like our existence borders on nihilism. What's the point of anything? If words are meaningless, then why even bother in the first place? Why make a "promise" if it's just going to be broken later? It means nothing. You live, you die, and all along the way not one thing was held sacred. In a universe without any meaning, we have to create our own, and if someone's word can't even be trusted, then why bother with anything at all?

So in summary, I don't have a problem with divorce per se, but breaking your word to someone else is a massive problem, and TED articles like this aren't helping by contributing to the increasing vacuity of promises that have no meaning.

Ask HN: What changes have happened in your life after adopting minimalism?
A more realistic question is this. Italy is mandating XML business to business invoices starting from 2019-01-01. You're given the spec and a database schema. The question is "which fields are we missing and how should we ask customers for those information?" Extra bonus if you know GDPR and suggest which fields are sensible information, not that I'm expecting that somebody out of school can make that assessment.

Algorithms, who cares. Maybe as a tie breaker.

Yes. A non-algorithmic feed.

Twitter was better when it just displayed posts from accounts you follow, in chronological order.

Exactly the same goes for Instagram.

I have since closed my Twitter account. I had it for 10 years, and I had over 5k followers. The algorithm constantly forced SJW lunatics into my feed no matter how aggressively I muted keywords.

I still have my Instagram, but the same problem exists. It’s become super low-quality content, and lots of ads. Instagram was great because the community felt real. Now in my case it’s either soft-porn, or travel-porn. The travel-porn is probably worse. People taking unoriginal photos, with all the same filters, with a completely disingenuous question posed in the caption in an effort to generate comments, and subsequently more network effects by pleasing the Instagram algorithm.

Even the adverts displayed to me are often just people’s personal profiles. Is this the real life? People are paying a platform to promote their selfies? It’s madness.

Instagram will collapse eventually.
AWS is dominant and doing pretty well in the IaaS space, but lack of enough good quality middlewares and enterprise software comparing with its competitors, Azure and Oracle.

Maybe this claim is not fair for DynamoDB, Kinesis, Lambda and etc. But these are just managed service. Customers could not get a binary to play around on their own server. So I could not call them software or middleware.

So their strategy is simply making the most popular software running on IaaS as a managed service, like managed Hadoop, Spark, K8S and now Kafka...

From a customer's perspective, it is pretty good since managed service just works without hassles to manage servers.
I'm living in China at the moment. Feel free to ask any questions.

Here are some points that you might find interesting:

1. There is an income tax but there is no income tax return. If you pay too much you don't get anything back. You can pay a fine if you don't pay enough. This means you have to work with finance and do lots of paperwork to reduce your taxable income. Not always worth the effort.

2. You can choose to pay sales tax or not. It is optional. Generally, individuals don't pay sales tax while companies do. Companies have to prove that they spent money and they do this by collecting "tax receipts". Some companies give everyone a tax receipt. Some companies only give it on request. The machine that makes the tax receipt takes money from the company in real time and transfers it to the government. This cannot be faked BUT they can be traded ... sometimes. VAT/Sales tax is also different for different industries (I think food is about 5% while electronics is more)

Basically, individuals have more freedom than many western countries BUT companies have a lot more restrictions. It is a very clever system that "mostly" works.

BC is 950K km^2 with less than 5M people (drop Metro Vancouver and it's 2.5M). So 1.5 the size of France, the majority of which basically looks like Wells Gray (though Wells Gray has some extra beautiful spots). There are dozens of "Wells Gray like" parks, and most visitors don't hike up the mountains (and surely not off trails). So it's missable in theory.
