The content of [1] displays immediately for me (and I do not have document scripts enabled). There are <amp-...> elements; I don't know what they are, and they do not do anything.

For webpages that do hide everything, I define my own CSS overrides which prevents the <html> and <body> element from ever being hidden, opacity less than 1, or similar. Further rules can be added to prevent <body> from being animated or having transitions.

What is wrong with just HTML, without CSS and JavaScript, or in some cases just plain text and not even HTML?

I wonder if it is possible to be successful in politics and not be a dick. I'm a pretty passive observer of US politics. Here in Japan, when Obama got elected I spent most of my time saying, "Calm down. He won't be as good for the world as you think". When Trump got elected I spent most of my time saying, "Calm down. He won't be as bad for the world as you think". So far I think my predictions have panned out ;-). Politics is about compromise. Some people are smooth talking and can gain an advantage. Some people are bullies and can gain an advantage. Some people are tricky and can gain an advantage. That's what's called being good at politics.

I think the concept of humility is separate. To be fair, in US politics I don't think you have the option of being humble. US culture, as a whole, doesn't really value humility. Not from its pop stars, not from its sports stars, not from its business stars and not from its politicians. Advertising that you were wrong and especially offering an apology is practically a death sentence.

If you contrast that with Japan it is almost polar opposite. Pop stars, sports stars, business stars and politicians are generally quite humble (at least externally). The prime minister often resigns because he has assumed responsibility for one disaster or another. We've had 17 prime ministers in the last 30 years. Prime minister Abe is on his 2nd go around! His complete mishandling of a variety of different things has been no stumbling block at all ;-) (You might reasonably point at "Abenomics" to indicate his lack of humility, but apart from that, he seems to admit his mistakes when forced to do so...)

In general, people in the west and especially people in the US really enjoy brash and boastful behaviour. They like their heroes bigger than life. They like to cheer loudly and support their heroes to the bitter end, refusing to let them down -- even to the point of refusing to think anything bad about them. Everything is the other guy's fault, or the fault of circumstances, or something similar. Nobody wants to be made a fool of for their unquestioning support. And so, nobody supports someone who lets them down by admitting mistakes.

There are many wonderful things about this kind of culture, but there are downsides as well. The successful people who are a product of that culture can't really be blamed for doing what it takes to be successful IMHO. If you want your leaders to be different, you have to value different things.

Edit: Apparently I can't count how many times Abe has resigned. Perhaps it is wishful thinking...
It reminds me times of 5MB free web hosting from 2000 or so. A lot of them was doing it.
All forms? What? What about mining, refining, manufacturing, combustion of everything other than oil, littering, runoff from landfills, discharge of sewage?
No it's much worse than this. They never threaten the employee. They threaten the company hiring the individual. The employee might take it to court(and it most states win), but the hiring firm has no incentive to do so, and just moves on the next candidate.

They don't have to sue, they just have to send a letter to the new firm. Or even worse the new firm just has to ask "did you sign a non-compete?"
Benefit is in the eye of the beholder. Non-members may not actually be benefiting if the results are not really what they want.
California has a lot of questionable legislation, but they really did nail this one. It's extremely well thought out and the exceptions where non-competes can be enforced all make perfect sense.

For example, a non-compete is legally binding in California is if you sell your business to someone else. Then they can enforce an agreement against your starting a new business competing against the business you just sold them.
I have a 5x1 monitor wall and it's great for coding, but it curves around through 90° so all the screens are equidistant. Portrait mode is so much better for coding (for me) and I can see multiple source files, application, documentation and reference material all at once. It's great!
I'm sure it matters to you, but as a rule it doesn't apply to you if you reside outside the EEA.

There are a lot of people here in Austin that have worked in the game development business.

All the game devs I know would never go back to that work, no matter how much you paid them.

When virtually everyone who has never done the job would do just about anything to get into the business, that creates some very perverse incentives for the people running the game development companies. Like, they seem to feel the need to abuse their people in each and every way they possibly can, just because they can.

Sure, there are some stories of people who are happy in the business. They’re at the top of that food chain.

For every one else I know, game development is the worst hell on earth that they have ever experienced.

I have incorporated Feyman technique also. At the end of each topic, you will have to summarise what you think you understand.

This is inclined more towards Socratic method of learning by questions and answering.

Maybe. I know I could easily make use of one double (in both x and y) the size I currently have.

As for discerning pixels, I know that the retina display is distinctly easier to read than non-retina (both from Apple) even though I could not see the pixelation on the latter. Watching video does not make much difference, but reading text sure does.
It's only for desktop for now, sorry.
>Is it just me or has the mobile web taken a nosedive in recent years?

It's because "desktop" web is difficult for newbies.

People like you and I love the "desktop" web because we grew up using desktop computers. We don't mind firing up our web browser, typing in a URL and poking around for tiny menu items using CSS that's optimized for big HD desktop monitors. That's what we're used to and that's what we think is normal.

Nowadays, everybody- even your grandma- is on the inernet. Everybody's using an iPhone with a tiny screen and large fonts. Opening up a web browser to browse a website is just something people no longer do.

Grandma would much rather have an app on her home screen that connects her to the world rather than a bookmark in Google Chrome.

Not everybody is a nerd like you and me. The internet has exploded in ways we never imagined, and now we're going to have to deal with everything being optimized for the average user.
> Public schools sure don't hit kids.

They for darn sure do. On the ordered list of reasons why I yanked my kid out of the school he was in, number three (will shock you) is that one of his friends "received corporal punishment" (the polite euphemism for "was struck") and the school and school district had no mechanism for parents ordering the school to not do that to our children.

> I looked at a map and the states that don't forbid hitting kids in school are all the South

Yep.

> There can be a pretty big divide between southern states and northern ones sometimes.

You're not wrong. High up on the list of reasons why my immediate family does not now and never will again live in the state listed on the top of all of our birth certificates is cultural differences like this. My "home" state shows no real signs of changing this or many other of these things. I sincerely hope they do but me and mine will be witnessing it from afar, at least until my kid becomes an adult and chooses for himself where to live.
Nope. They’re 8% of the bill, several times higher than countries with Medicare For All type systems.[1]

The only team who has published results based on direct examination of patients did not draw that conclusion. You can read the JAMA paper yourself. The rest of the peanut gallery is simply speculating off that single report.
I've been using my own property based testing framework https://johtela.github.io/LinqCheck/ for .NET projects and jsverify (https://github.com/jsverify/jsverify) for Typescript projects. Below are some repos using those:

I use "Fixed". It is a pretty good fixpitch font for display on screen, in my opinion. I personally prefer it over all of the others that have been suggested. No antialiasing, no TrueType, just a pure bitmap font with nothing extra.
My wall of pixels is a 42" 60hz 4k display I bought on Amazon for $200 3 years ago. Best purchase ever, it's basically like having four 21" 1080p monitors stuck together with no gap.

One technique I picked up, was imagine what evidence would change my mind. This exercise usually tells me one of two things. Either one it tells me exactly what evidence I should be searching for to tamper my opinion, or even more importantly it illuminates that it would take an unreasonable amount of evidence to convince me of the opposing viewpoint which alerts me that I'm probably pretty biased on that topic.
Elixir now has streamdata/exunitproperties which is designed to be integrated with the built in testing platform.

I've been using property testing to issue random workloads and test some of our work software, already it has found some bugs.

The average rent (3-rooms) in LA is 3,596 so $43.000 per year, in SF is $5,143 so $61.716 per year, so yeah $68.000 is nothing to brag about -at least on the main cities-
I wanted to add a comment specifically about documentation tools. We've always had a lot of collaboration. On an earlier project (let's call it project 0), at the same company, back when there was only a few people, we did all documentation in latex with CVS. It was glorious but as soon as a couple of non-technical people joined it was unmanageable and inevitably someone would have to troubleshoot others' environments, usually eventually giving up and manually merging on another's behalf.

Then we switched to google drive plus latex/CVS. It was not so glorious using both at the same time for the same files. We quickly switched to google docs only, which I came to love for realtime collaboration (a game changer for remote meetings) and its commenting system. It seems very hard to break linked content, like drawings or spreadsheet cells in a document. Keeping your architecture diagrams in a presentation file and linking them to all of your documents is also a game changer (they will automatically update).

Google drive also became much better when TeamDrive was added. I like that by design its permissions are not complicated and hierarchical. It's not possible to deny permissions to a subfolder in a TeamDrive. But old school IT people think this is a requirement.

Besides Confluence, I tried Amazon WorkDocs (useless), Office's new collaboration tools (broken) and Office 365 online (not bad but I predict people will just download and work offline meaning 2+ versions in 2+ places).

I'm going to keep using google docs while I can but have Confluence ready for whenever strict onsite requirements are enforced. Hopefully someday google docs has an enterprise or more security options. So far there are only options for HIPAA, and not other industry-specific options.
Amazfit Verge vs. Pace vs. Stratos – Which Is Better?
I am completely in favor of having a work station (better performance per Euro than a laptop). However, nothing holds you from using a nice screen and keyboard with a laptop.

I have my MacBook Pro hooked up to a 4k external display, Microsoft Natural Keyboard (or whatever they are called today), and a nice big Magic Trackpad 2. I can undock it and have exactly the same system on the go. the MacBook Pro can drive multiple screens (2x4k on 13", 4x4k on 15"). You also use an external GPU over Thunderbolt 3.

If you don’t want to use it, then you shouldn’t use it.

I didn't downvote (and wouldn't have). I suspect that you are being downvoted because you are no longer a kid. You are an adult. You do now have agency to make you own decisions. Personally (and I am not a doctor so I could well be totally wrong!) I think it sounds like your lack of drive/ambition could be worth speaking to a doctor about.
And vice-versa: if both are accurate, the CTA opponents should have been fine with the submitted title. Because they, too, only care about an honest hearing, right?

I’m not sure I necessarily agree with the argument put forth here, but it does raise an important point: to the extent that hiring and working practices are at odds with diversity, companies are going to have to choose which one to keep. Everywhere I’ve worked so far has mostly wanted to keep everything the same but sprinkle on some magic diversity dust. That approach is not likely to work much longer.
I disagree. If he has said this in the beginning it would have probably been the end of the process immediately.

Yes, he wasted his own time, but also got XP out of it. And now the company invested already resources on him and may probably think it’s the worth the risk.
You perfectly exemplify the toxic behavior described in the article :(
Like anything else, you can run a union poorly. Sometimes they don't actually achieve anything in their barganing. No one is going to be enthused about paying for a non-existant benefit.
Seconding Gandi. Their (old?) slogan, though surprisingly sweary, is accurate.
Does this mean my intuition in this case has actually been right all these years? I used to run around telling everybody that sharks weren't really fish, just like Pluto wasn't really a planet (way back when I was unquestionably considered one). I had sound knowledge behind the Pluto idea, behind the shark one, not so much - I just understood them to be an ancient line, and to be obviously built after a different blueprint than anything known to me as a fish.
Happy with my namecheap domain hosted in Linode: never going to touch a godaddy domain for any of my needs.
> Luckily there is a way to turn this off
Luckily I am not using GoDaddy and most probably never will.
Likewise, I feel the same way about template DSLs (why add yet another language's control flow/scoping/etc. into the mix?). I think if JSX had been around first, many more developers would find templates off-putting, seeing as they amount to writing code that builds up other code as a string.
It's just that they're the way things were done for so long...

I wonder what a newer dev's take would be? Would they find UI elements as values/expressions weird, or UI elements as strings weird?
That just leads to every page on the web hosting its own copy of jQuery. The whole purpose of external JS is to reduce load times by sharing cacheable libraries (admittedly with the side benefit of less bandwidth for the host).

And if you think a whitelist would work, all it takes is one look at how rapidly new JS libraries come and go to render that unfeasible
GoDaddy has crazy marketing and dominate search results in that regard.

They bait and switch their customers into buying a really cheap domain for the first year and then rake up the price for subsequent years.

It's annoying for businesses to switch everything over to a new provider, especially not so technical people that don't want downtime, so they eat the cost.

GoDaddy alternatives which aren't shady are:

It isn't offensive (and probably is unfairly downvoted), but it shows a lack of research. The purpose of Haiku is an open source reimplementation of BeOS 5, so naturally the windowing UI looks just like BeOS [1]. There's a reason Haiku looks the way it does.

It's a bit of a stretch, but you could argue the comment goes against this guideline:

I think it really depends on the psychology of the student and their perception of their performance for which they are awaiting results.
But how much of that is due to "fire code" ? Compare it with lawless parts of the world. You would find that horrible-ness is going down everywhere. China advanced only after having less laws. Whats common in all these instances ? Economic freedom. More economic freedom means more prosparity. "fire code" are only good at taking credit.

Mine is in SF, in the Tenderloin. There's a few reasons! First is that rent is cheaper. But more importantly, the landlords are more flexible. In a nicer area, landlords would prefer a restaurant or shop, with 5-10 year lease. Nobody wants to sign a 5-10 year lease for escape rooms, since there's not a lot of replay-ability. Also, escape rooms require weird build outs and permits, so landlords of nicer areas prefer not to deal with it. Lastly, since most escape rooms traditionally are one-off, there's no existing credit scores or bank accounts. Why go with a random person with a scary sounding "escape room" when you can get a chain store or restaurant?

Ask HN: Do you prefer portable versions over installers?
Do you prefer portable versions over installers under Windows? I highly prefer portable versions for any program, if it does not require some kind of beneficial integration with OS.

Just checked, I have only Firefox, VirtualBox and WinRAR installed, everything else is portable and
1) can be easily moved to another computer, often with settings
2) survives OS reinstall, because resides on another drive.

Am I crazy paranoid? :-)
At least in the case of a Roku TV, it's the exact same Roku hardware just strapped onto the board of an off-the-shelf flat panel display. The only real difference is that the UI has selections for the TV's inputs. There's no microphone unless you use the phone app to yell at the TV or buy a different remote than the one supplied.

That's why I have a Roku TV (well that, and I like the Roku software better) versus one of the other smart TVs. I'd have a Roku anyway so this just frees up an HDMI port.
"Now, I hear a lot of people saying Namecheap is a good choice. They are ok, we recommend them but their panel likes to shit the bed and it can take hours to push DNS updates when things aren't running great there."

Yup !! Thats my experience also !
