Running absolutely has one of the lowest barriers of entry, as a general sport. But specifically talking about endurance sports (which I assumed mean't running marathons and ultras etc) it becomes much harder to keep costs to a minimum. I'm sure there are people that run ultras in their 100$ shoes that they purchased last year but most are going through a lot of shoes and technical clothing just while training.
Not the person you replied to but systemd was the last straw that made me switch all my servers to FreeBSD.

FreeBSD is much better at just not screwing everything up (particularly on OS updates). Sometimes I have to manually configure a new piece of hardware, but once I configure it it stays configured, and the way to configure it doesn't change from version to version.

On my new laptop I just didn't bother replacing windows. With "Bash on Windows" I can run all the unix programs I wanted to, but windows is handling all the session-management type stuff that systemd would do. I've found the system more reliable and better at responding to hardware changes. As much as there are horror stories of windows update breaking everything, I haven't experienced that myself (whereas I have had systemd updates leave systems non-booting).
I like to be able to remove spaces in complex expressions, for readability issues. For instance, this :

t[x] = t[x-1] + t[x-2]

looks more readable to me than this :

t[x] = t[x - 1] + t[x - 2]

Another example :

y = a*x1 + b*x2 + c
Nah, it's really just about taxes.

I think it's 1% of your income or something like that which is collected by the state for the church. (That itself is often discussed in Germany, as state and church should obviously not be mixed...)

But you can "leave" the church, it costs something like 40 Euro for the administrative action and that's it. No discussion whatsoever and you can keep your money. :-D
And not even worth it productivity wise.
Equating "stealing trade secrects" with "打破技术封锁" is disingenuous. And this

> you will find there are lots of Chinese nationalist stories about their hero technician / scientists steal western technologies. They are literally proud of it

is a blatant lie.

Sure, if you just want to feel superior, keep making blanket statements like this. But if you really want the West to outcompete China, you'd better spend more time on understanding the intricacies.

Extremely doubtful, given that many of the modern ones have been written in XML (e.g. xaml, android) and iOS went old skool with a drag/drop GUI.

No-one went pure code (because it's a massive PITA).
I know. It's one of the reasons I left Bavaria to get a job somewhere else.
There are two generations of the Dell XPS 13, at first they had a 3200x1800 display, they switched to 3840x2160 last year.

In my opinion 3200x1800 at 13.3" is more than enough already (I own one) but I guess marketing wanted more.
And in IoT some would not need a modular kernel at all. A monolith kernel would fit the purpose. Because an IoT device normally has a fixed purpose depending on the additional hardware. There is no plug'n'play requirement.

The only problem with the Linux kernel these days is its sizes. Because with Cortex M3/M4 processors we still have sizes constraints.
I've never been tempted to try any of it. I vastly prefer YouTube or Twitch, but seeing as how terrible Facebook's own content and user policy is, I'm unsure as to how anyone even would be interested. The regular video feature of the Facebook site is borderline unusable, clicking on a video in Safari and even in Chrome just causes the whole tab to become unresponsive for minutes sometimes until the full screen player opens, it's impossible to change settings often and the entire site just starts dying if you scroll around a timeline for like 10 minutes. It's not a good user experience, tying a video sharing platform directly into that taints it from the get go. I understand that they were trying some sort of cross-pollination but at least the YouTube website is performant. And Facebook's timeline ordering and content curation is terrible so it's not very inviting. Mainly it seems like they took all the bad features that drive creators insane on other platforms and bolted it to their own.

Why?
It’s also that demand outstrips supply for the famous events such as the London Marathon.

> Now I am used to taking blame for apparently everything that every went wrong on Linux, but you might as well blame your downstream distros for this as much you want to blame us upstream about this, as it's up to them to pick the right compile-time options matching their userbase and requirements in compatibility, and if they didn't do that to your liking, then maybe you should complain to them first.

It's up to you as a systemd developer to pick sane defaults. Claiming that it's okay to introduce opt-out breaking changes upstream and then abdicate responsibility is a quite bit like walking around while waving your hands and arms around and then blaming whoever you hit for walking into you.
It's not quite that cheap. Most marathons have a significant sign-up fee (~$100). If you're serious about running a marathon you'll probably average about 80km/week in training. Running shoes last about 1000km so you need a new pair 4 times a year.

That said, iff you run two marathons a year and don't care which ones you do you can probably do it for < $1k a year.
Yes, it clearly is.

> Pixel perfect is not possible in HTML/CSS. Stop spreading this.

It absolutely is possible—we used to do it all the time back in the table layout days—but it is not desirable. They are inherently fragile (often users can break them just by changing the default text size), and they do not adapt to different screen sizes very well.

What kind of experience have the people here had when applying for remote positions? Did you guys find it difficult to get a remote job (that you enjoy!)?

When I was last looking for a job, I applied to several remote positions in the hope I might get one but was unsuccessful in all of them. In general, I found it a lot more difficult compared to the local companies I spoke with. I don't think it's anything to do with my experience, but I suppose you are competing with the world rather than your local area.

These services are / were very popular in online gaming to knock opponents offline, you only need a few minutes of DDoS time to kill a residential connection. Console games in particular are quite vulnerable as a good amount of them still use peer to peer connections so you can easily find IPs to target. Other techniques such as booby trapped links, P2P voice chat, fake servers etc can find player IPs for PC games.
Right on. Also worth mentioning in the context of deprecated web-plugins: Flash and Unity which provid(ed) sane wysiwyg layout tools (Unity's 2D stuff, being backed by scriptable components, is/was especially powerful and ergonomic)

I spent most of my frontend career in that world (and dabbling in Qt, SDL etc. for kicks), and now shifting to the web a couple years ago, it boggles my mind how horrible CSS feels compared to what I used to do with minimal scripting and a bunch of button clicking.
Probably people feel it's dated and not appropriate for tech, but What color is your parachute stills seems fundamentally sensible to me. Points like:

most jobs aren't advertised; think of your search like shopping for a job that suits you; see how you are solution/resource for some problems; and what silent questions interviewers want answered, or should want. In order: why us? can you do the job? what's special about you? will you fit with us? can we afford you?

There's a lot of encouragement in it, especially extensive sections taking inventory of what you have to offer, your knowledge, skills and especially what engages you.
You're right, HN does not allow enough characters to state this correctly. So I had to cut it down a bit.
I hate how accurate this is. The more I work on Kubernetes implementations, the more I feel like it's a tool that 99% of companies can't effectively operate. The attitude is very reminiscent of the mainframe era where ops didn't want mere users touching their precious systems.

I feel like as an industry we're wasting tons of cycles solving the wrong problem.
My personal experience with rich people (including several billionaires) is that there is typically a lot of pressure for their time and attention, both externally and within their own brains.

Certain activities, including physical exertion, driving, and flying, force conscious attention to the present moment, and easily produce a “flow state”.

Of course, you can also produce that state with meditation, sex, and many other activities, but it typically requires more skill and intention.

My interpretation is that endurance sports are a straightforward way to induce pleasurable states of being for an extended duration, and these pleasurable states of being are actually statistically rarer in many wealthy people.
> Amusingly, tables came back. But they're called "layout tables" now, to avoid embarrassment

I'm not sure exactly what you are referring to, but there have been some misunderstandings regarding tables. Before CSS, <table>-tags were there only way to control the layout, but since CSS 2, it have been possible to achieve the same kind of layout which display:table in CSS without having to abuse <table>-tags. But there is nothing wrong with using <table> when they are semantically appropriate.

Recently CSS have gotten display:grid which is way more powerful than table layout ever was.

Float and clear was never intended for general layout. They were invented by Netscape back in the day to allow text to float around images. Float/clear-hacks became a necessary evil in the dark age before IE supported display:table.

You cant really blame CSS for IE not supporting critical parts of the spec, since this was part a deliberate strategy by MS to "kill the web". Luckily this strategy failed and MS changed their minds.
> I guess it comes down to what we define as 'pixel perfect'.

When the customer hears "pixel perfect" they don't think "different on different browsers and on different OSs and on different devices", they think "the same everywhere".
Does it make sense to apply the idea from the article to the native vs webview apps competition?

Writing an app in native (C/C++, or Java for Android, Swift for iOS) will give you the best efficiency, but the app will not adapt to platform changes so easily compared to using webview.

It is also interesting to think about whether VMs or transpiler techs (e.g. web assembly, Haxe, GraalVM) will give us the best of both worlds.
> running 26 miles in a heavy cotton shirt sounds miserable

Nah, it's fine. You wouldn't want to do it in heat or humidity, mind, but I've done it in London several times.

> You'll probably also go through 3-4(?) pairs of running shoes

Bloody hell, what are you running on? Acid-impregnanted sandpaper? A good pair of shoes will last you at least a year, if not two (or more).
I'm glad to read I'm not the only one struggling with it. It's not as bad as with the OP; I can get stuff done in CSS. But any non-trivial layout always requires a lot of trial and error: does this need to float? Does inline-block work better? Now there's flex layout on top of that. Do I need relative or absolute positioning for this thing? Do I need padding or margin here? And why does my margin not do anything?

Every time I think I finally understand it, I run into a situation where it doesn't do what I expect. And then there's hacks with negative margins and that sort of stuff, where it feels like CSS needs to be wrangled into doing something it doesn't want.
OTOH, you can run a (unofficial) marathon anytime and anywhere. Why would you need an organized event?

I've run plenty and it cost me exactly $0 in fees.
Jusqu'ici tout va bien
It's funny, but there does seem to be a class divide between endurance sports and strength sports. Dan Duane wrote an article about it in the Pacific Standard[1]:

>>Sociologists, it turns out, have studied these covert athletic biases. Carl Stempel, for example, writing in the International Review for the Sociology of Sport, argues that upper middle class Americans avoid “excessive displays of strength,” viewing the bodybuilder look as vulgar overcompensation for wounded manhood. The so-called dominant classes, Stempel writes—especially those like my friends and myself, richer in fancy degrees than in actual dollars—tend to express dominance through strenuous aerobic sports that display moral character, self-control, and self-development, rather than physical dominance. By chasing pure strength, in other words, packing on all that muscle, I had violated the unspoken prejudices—and dearly held self-definitions—of my social group.

Both can be good for you in different ways, but there seems to be this assumption that you can't be muscular and intelligent at the same time. Strength sports are blue collar, endurance sports are white collar.

For me, I prefer strength sports. Beyond just not enjoying cardio, I find being strong much more useful in daily life. My wife has never asked me to run 5 miles, but I frequently get asked by friends and neighbours to move heavy objects.

It depends on how the data is used and if an easy delete option exists. There is a valid use case for working around browser behaviour not user behaviour:

> browsers will unceremoniously delete IndexedDB, LocalStorage, and/or SessionStorage without warning under storage pressure

If you have an app that stores a small amount of data client-side (preferences, data to allow operation while unable to connect) but is not used very often it's stored state could be evicted because of a few large apps because the browser drops data on a "last used" basis because it has no way of knowing that this bit of data might be more important than the data touched more recently. The user might not want a small amount of practical data for an app that they used on their morning commute being evicted because they've touched some large games over the weekend. For a large device this isn't going to be an issue as you are unlikely to be that limited for space, but for a cheap phone with limited storage it could be a real inconvenience.

Any app doing this should have a very easy and obvious "purge my data from this device" option, to maintain the user control. In fact to do it properly right, the local storage should be opt-in ("Do you want to keep some data locally to speed up this app and allow it to be used offline? Yes / Not now / No and don't bother be again") with the app continuing to function without the local data cache.

> I'm going to continue to track you even after

Of course it will get used for this, it would be naive to think otherwise, it is after all essentially a structured evercookie, but that doesn't stop the idea having good uses too. The existence of arsonists doesn't mean you need to ban all uses of fire.
I guess when it's virtually impossible to get into contact with the developers they will get their "bug reports" via the news.
My point is not about foreign investment driving rents up or down, it is that this is a poorly written article. I generally agree with what you are saying, though your logic is somewhat flawed in your first point. Every property that gets turned into a rental on average changes one home owner to a renter but also adds a new rental to the market so in principle it’s a wash. However as I’ve stated now for the third time, I acknowledge that properties bought as investments without renting them out will increase rents.

What I have been saying is that the actual article doesn’t make that point, and therefore doesn’t make sense. Even if foreign investment drives up rents, a reasonable person without their own experience would not be able to conclude that from the information in this article.

Furthermore, I believe it is HN policy to assume the strongest argument of the person you are debating if you choose to disagree. Instead you are continuing to mischaracterize what I am saying.

Please don’t explain to me how it works in real life again, I am aware. I do agree that over the short and medium term some types of real estate investment will raise rents.
This fear mongering goes on since the days of Henry Ford. Technology has been a boon for many many people. I can't imagine a world with many more people dying or without access to information.
It's more difficult than finding local jobs. Supply/demand does not work in your favor.

Edit: Besides many companies look for previous remote experience. So it's hard to get a remote position without having had a previous remote position.
No, as someone who's struggled, and seen other programmers struggle, with CSS way before bootstrap was released I can assure you this isn't true.
I agree, my concern is where do DSAs go in a few generations? How many efficiency/performance gains can be had before hitting the same limits hampering general purpose processors today?

Whenever this subject crops up, I'm inclined to just answer "Yeah, it's just you", at the risk of that coming off as too harsh.

I really like CSS and it's where I got my start, and used it for a long time, often to make up for not knowing JavaScript.

I don't think CSS is an art thing. I think CSS is pretty simple, but requires an understanding of how CSS works and how browser layouts wotk.

Without that, you're going to have a hard time, but I can't really think of a language where that isn't true, either.

Sometimes I feel like this is the result of people undervaluing CSS, because they "just want to make a colored box" or whatever, but fail to view it as its own language, with its own ecosystem and considerations, placing undue expectations on its simplicity.

If I were to "just make a program" in C, without any knowledge or consideration for how Windows works, how stacks, heaps, memory, and pointers work, and how C works, then I'm gonna have a bad time, and the same goes for CSS, imo.
It depends on the quality of leaves and style of preparation. The mental stimulation you get from black tea in a modern UK cafe is mild and very different from what you'd experience from Chinese Gong Fu Cha [0], or from Russian chifir [1]. Herbal infusions, which are still referred to as tea by many Americans and Europeans, will have almost no stimulant effect. It's quite likely that Boyle first drank tea in coffeehouses, where [2]:

> The whole of the day's tea would be brewed in the morning, taxed by a visiting excise officer, and then kept in barrels and reheated as necessary throughout the rest of the day.

If I was a coffeehouse owner, I would brew that tea for a long time to get as concentrated a drink out of it as possible.

And that's what SIGHUP is for. The process will exit by default. If that's not the desired behavior a handler can be registered. Killing things that are explicitly designed to run after logout is a piss poor default.
Except for the shoes (2 pairs a year, around 100€ each), I run with mostly the same gear I've bought 10 years ago. I don't travel and don't pay any fees, I just run in the forest down my street, 40 km a week. From time to time, when I feel like it, I run a semi all by myself, for a grand cost of 0 €. It mostly takes time, about 1h30 to 2 hours a day (dressing, warming up, running, stretching, showering).

I think tasuki is asking you to elaborate a bit further on what kind of security issues you have solved by not using SIGHUP signal.
