Typescript projects definitely give me the most pain. You regularly end up to the point you have to resort to 'any' after hours of looking for a stupid type definition. IMAO it's just one big waste of time, just landed a job with a good old JS codebase, what a relief. TS might help for junior and medior developers so they make less mistakes. But I'm pretty sure if you can code Javascript well Typescript only stands in your way when you want to create something. Imagine you give a painter a brush that doesn't allow to be used freely, that's what TS does to a good JS developer.

But TS is at this moment really eating JS jobs, and that kinda hurts. I just don't understand the proponents, besides the job opportunity, give me one single reason to write in TS? If you want to go for a strictly typed language TS is definitely the worse choice. TS simply doesn't fit in the JS ecosystem. Look at (a part of) the dependency part of this package.json, from the beginning of a large project. Don't you agree something is going very wrong in the JS world?

Yea I know, those ones tended to vote with Trump sometimes!

In all serious I don't know if this was meant as sarcasm but party cohesion in the republican party is quite high, it's one of the reasons the republican minority was effective against Obama - senators would freely discard logic to toe the party line.
Public transit fails when it's poorly funded. The existence of Uber/Lyft provides an excuse to transit skeptic politicians to ignore and underfund public transit expansion.
That sounds good on a surface level analysis but closer inspection of how political correctness has changed over the last century suggests it's actually not at all as simple as you make it out to be. We're actually crap at pulling it off.

If it requires communication then the formulation is actually closer to "treat others how they state they'd like to be treated". We're getting further and further away from the original formulation.

Think of it another way... If you were a 19th century man, it's not likely you would have a cordial chat with a woman or a gay man, deploy empathy and come to 21st conclusions on how you should treat them.

The change is hard fought and hard won. How we state we want to be treated is a matter of both public and private discourse and it's a long process for enough communication to happen for the baseline of what social norms should be to shift in a noticeable way.
Oh, I had an edit to my original post that included something about coding challenges (either homework or pair programming) - didn’t want to give the impression that should be ignored - forgot to submit that change to my post.
Is it a canard or a refrain. I'm confused.

Also simply stating the thing someone says and saying it's a canard will convince no one.

Person 1: makes argument

Person 2: "Ugh this canard again?!"

Person 1: Uh yes. Nice talking to you.
I think it costs them a transaction fee from the credit card company each time too and affects their future ability to use the merchant network when they get too many chargebacks.
a LOT of people in eg. Amsterdam use them daily. And I see more and more of those every morning and afternoon when I cycle to/from work.
I wholeheartedly agree from a UI/UX perspective.

Some applications (looking at you, Onenote Mac) still don't support native Dark Mode in macOS Mojave. For some people (especially with vision problems) this can be an accessibility issue.
Metro Vancouver transit ridership is increasing faster than any other region in Canada or the U.S and Uber/Lyft is not allowed... hmmmm

It's great that people are considering the long-term for CA housing, for once, but won't the HSR still take nearly fifteen years to complete?
Trump already lost.
Sure, but politicians in many cities were ignoring and underfunding public transit long before Uber and Lyft came around. How long should people have waited before trying to come up with an alternative?

Your post amounts to: "In an environment designed around cars, people have to drive!"

I mean, yeah. There's a reason people in, say, Germany do not really have this problem, and it's because cities and towns there aren't built around the assumption that everyone must have a car.
I feel like the best way to do a live coding demo is to compromise on either the live or the coding part. For example, by preparing the code ahead of time, or playing a prerecorded video of instead. This convinces me that live coding is an inherently flawed concept.
He's not wrong. Look around primarily nier vs aryan populated areas. On average which is cleaner and less run down?

Don't spout that historical racism/slavery bullsh*t at me, they were a socially underdeveloped breed while they were alone with their own devices before aryans tried to uplift them (and failed while also bringing those problems home to destroy their own nests with their overinflated sense of social justice and liberal 'immigration' policies).
I try to reserve judgement for only the most blatant of cases.

I just have some anti-American culture hate going on right now (I am an American). You can just feel the entitlement coming off some of these people.
I can well imagine! Good on you for going all the same.

In defence of the transit, it has to be said that (in a city that size) those cabs could not work without it. The roads are only passable because 90% of people aren't on them.

Which is to say, the fares have to be out of reach (as a daily expense) for > 90% of people. I imagine most employers would balk at the cost of catching cabs everywhere in Oslo.
It's interesting watching Silicon Valley discover the purpose of government regulations from first principles.
The House already approved the budget without border wall financing that the Senate approved back in December, but the Republican Senate has changed their mind and now won't approve it. Trump, of course, won't approve it without his useless portion of a border fence, so the government will shut down again in 3 weeks.

This temporary opening of the government was likely to distract from the fact that Roger Stone was indicted today.

Next time it might be better if the lawmakers would ask someone to design a proper API for them and the browser vendors should care of the GUI instead of the website providers.

> Tariffs help US businesses and american workers. It's why the first major act of congress was a tariff.

Tarrifs are taxes on US businesses and american workers, no it doesn't help them, it makes everything more expensive for everyone.

The only valid use case for a tarrif is to subsidize and maintain a local industry that is critical to national defense that we can't let be run out of business by cheaper foreign goods.
Exactly. At the very least it should be between Sacramento and San Francisco. A few people I know do 2 hour commutes living in and around Tracy/Sacramento area because it's the only way they can afford to own a house. But then there's no real jobs there and they have to come to SF for that. There's no solution in sight for the "larger" bay area.

(Don't get me wrong. I love Shinkansen. That made my Japan trip so much more pleasant than anywhere else I have been. Not a single plane trip within the country. No need to pre-plan. Just buy a ticket and hop on. In California though, I know very few - they do exist - who regularly commute between LA -> SF. Regularly ~ a few times a month for a few days at a time)

Similarly, trying to disable google services on your account is a gigantic pain in the ass. Thank god for Lineage OS.
Had a similar experience when I left my previous ISP. I didn’t even have a choice to keep the service as I was moving. Upgrading the service was an easy click, but cancelling consisted of reading through their help pages to find a number to call, which of course was only open a few hours per week. It explicitly said that this was the only way to cancel.

Instead I simply sent them an email insisting that I wanted to cancel, and that I refused to talk to them on the phone to do it. They replied with a “great offer” to reduce the price. In my reply I simply insisted on cancelling. I didn’t hear from them again, except for a confirmation by post a while later that the service had been cancelled.

Of course, this is much more effort than it should be, especially an emotional effort because being treated like this is very upsetting. But it might be worth trying.

Cox is the worst. The prices magically increase every few months and it always takes a phone call to get them back down to what you originally thought they were.
You don't need a 50% blood line to maintain your nobility title, you inherit the title from someone else, usually your father just like, and usually along with, a house or an estate.

To make it like aristocracy the rule should apply recursively, you are a Mohawk if 50% of your ascendants are Mohawks as defined by the same rule.
Cursor Hijacking to make Twitter user appear like another user
Since users have made the case that that article contains significant new information (the test we use for non-dupiness), we've unmarked it as a dupe. That makes the current submission the dupe, so I've merged the comments from this thread into that one. We will roll back the clock on the latter, since users obviously want to discuss this.

There are neither beginnings or endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time. But it was a beginning.
I never argued that they should be resolved together and there's nothing disingenuous about it. Health and safety are genuine concerns for pedestrians and my point was to illustrate that they are obstacles besides cars to a city's walkability.
> Without engine powered vehicles yes, though man power and horse powered (with the loads of poop that come from the animals) were there though

That’s not true. The electrical subway predates the personal car by a couple decades. Paris, France, and its suburb had 108 (electric) tramway lines in 1900. Autobuses were all over the place when the first “modern” cars first appeared in the city.
They simply violate the law and don't care about it, it's that simple.

It wouldn't be the first time they did that.

I've been waiting since November to try and switch ISPs cause Unitymedia is as reliable as RFC 1149.
1. It isn't a given, but far more likely since they don't have the same disincentive. Attracting companies and tax revenue is generally something cities like to do. Alienating a large part of their population isn't. Especially not the wealthier parts.

2. I don't know about suddenly, but that would otherwise probably be an accurate assessment of the situation. At least relative to those who do.

Is there any western city, or a political party, who have intentionally lowered property values in the last decade and been awarded for it by voters? Has anyone even tried?
Isn't there a chicken-and-egg problem especially in US cities? The typical low-density suburban sprawl in american urban areas was "fueled" by the car/oil and housing industry in a much larger scale then in other similar developed countries. This lifestyle was nothing less then the american dream - no? In the same time the economy and the urban centers are expanding and everything is built around the autombile lifestyle. So yes, today it wouldn't be possible to simply scratch the car out of the equation, simply because it's heart and center of the urban america. But without the onesided accent on individual motor car traffic, america would probably have a different landscape that made public transport much more cheaper and convenient.
Cartographic "bugs" are features to politicians.
> no, poor decision making is what kills people.

It's both. It's way harder to kill yourself or someone else if you and everyone around you is biking, and if they're just walking it's close to impossible.

Driving generates danger. Period. Sometimes that danger is worth it, but let's not pretend that it's not currently vastly more dangerous for others than other forms of transportation.
I use Privacy[0] for all internet subscriptions. I mentioned this on HN before but it gives me purpose-generated cards for specifics d services like Netflix and Google. When I want to cancel, if the process is even marginally difficult, I just turn the card off — which I was going to do anyways.

This is literally mentioned in the blog post.

I signed for Dropbox pro through their iOS app, which means canceling is super easy because the payments are handled by Apple. You can cancel your account by staying entirely inside iOS system preferences menus.

And ironically, it may lead to 1 or 2 more clicks than what was shown in the video, but at least there are no dark UI patterns.

Oh, if only we had some activity to define open standards so we could do secure interpersonal message with any app using common standard protocols and cryptography.

Oh wait. We do. That's what the IETF is for. We just let pricks like Zuckerberg run closed gardens because we suck at using choice to walk to things like signal.

Go signal!
People with money use transit in NY or Chicago, too, because it works (more or less) and is sufficiently convenient. But in both places you can use transit to get reasonably close to where you're going. When I lived in SV, it was theoretically possible to get from my home in San Jose to office in Sunnyvale, but it involved either getting up at some ungodly hour to maybe, possibly find parking at Caltrain stop, or spending few hours on buses.

Building CHSR alone will price out people who live close enough to train stations, but without all the supporting infrastructure it is very unlikely to actually do anything for the housing crisis.
This is why I prefer to handle my app subscriptions through Apple's App Store: easy, transparent (un)subscriptions.

Plan B is to use virtual credit card numbers, such as https://privacy.com preferably with a bogus name.

Too many tech companies are shady.
Unfortunately it can also really seriously effect your credit rating, but then again anything can do that and credit ratings are silly.
The reason I was wondering is because I found I was transferring through LAX more than leaving the airport. Atlanta, of course, is a stopover almost every time I go to the South.
Northern California's "housing crisis" is probably a transient. Remember 2008, when there were vacancies everywhere? Or 2001, the first dot-com collapse. We're headed there again. By the time any major infrastructure projects get going, the housing crisis will be over.

Overall, California's population is leveling off. So is the US. The US hit "peak baby" several years ago and population growth is below replacement rate.
Lol. Your vaunted local representatives are superseded on everything from their airspace (FAA) to their property tax rate (California Prop 13). This isn’t some unprecedented infringement of local control.
A canard repeated often is a refrain. A statement can be both.

I have dismissed it as a canard because this argument of "well if they don't like working there they can leave" has been done to death on HN, usually on threads about bad working conditions, at places like Amazon warehouses or on video game QA teams. And I point you to those places for my arguments against yours, because they've been repeated again and again. People often can't leave their job because of personal circumstances. They need the money. They need the health insurance. They have lack the resources to find another job quickly. They have families to feed. And sure, you'll rebut with "well they just have to suck it up and deal with it, and they must be sucking up and dealing with it if they haven't left." Which is correct to a point but is this an optimal result? Do we want a society where people are forced to stay at jobs they hate, that actively harm their mental if not physical selves, because of a resource distribution? When we produce enough to ensure that everyone can have a better standard of living? Which is the second, you could say, prescriptive, part of the argument. But the point is that the first argument has been debated before and I choose to dismiss it because we would be rebashing a very dead horse.
I'm gonna need you to explain how 'The Patriarchy' ,'The Privileged', 'Systemic Racism' etc are somehow conspiracy theories considering they're more like social critiques around very real issues people face.

Unless you mean things you don't like are conspiracy theories in which case we might as well just call everything a conspiracy.
Note that I'm not disagreeing with you, nor trying to be confrontational, but I'm curious why land ownership in Japan does not build wealth?
Yes, mergers have been common in solar for a while.

This is one of the top manufacturers today:

https://www.hanwha-qcells.com/

A Chinese cell and module manufacturer acquired a Chinese ingot manufacturer. Korea's Hanwha Group subsequently acquired this merged Chinese entity as well as the German solar manufacturer Q-Cells. The merged Hanwha Q-Cells is vertically integrated from cells to modules.

A handful of manufacturers like GCL have vertically integrated even further:

- Refined silicon production

- Ingot production from purified silicon

- Wafers from ingots

- Cells from wafers

- Modules from cells

I don't know if that depth of integration makes sense long-term or not. Some companies have been burned in the past as they integrated with producers that weren't close enough to the leading edge. All of these steps are evolving rapidly in small increments; a vertically integrated producer has to keep pretty close to the leading edge at every stage if they don't want to see their integration advantages reverse.
Obscure novelties like this are my favorite kind of HN post.
The only live coding I have seen that was interesting was Notch working on a new game a few years ago. It was interesting because "debugging" was looking at what was rendered in the game and changing it. The experience for him was as visual as it was for us instead of inside his head.
Don't you think this is relying a bit too much on private corporation like Uber and Lyft? What if they shut down, or leave the city? How long would it take to reorganize public transport?

Also, uber and Lyft would get to decide the prices, that could cost much more to the city.

I think a public transport has to be public, ie publicly owned.
Pro-tip: Sometimes you can get lucrative deals on Prime during checkout if you don't have prime.

For example, I've gotten multiple 1 month free trials, and also the '1 week for 1.99' which you can immediately cancel after placing your order for a $1 refund (if you immediately cancel, not at end of the week).

I don't shop at Amazon often, but I've gotten many (read: > 10) Prime shipments over the last year, probably paying a grand total of $3 or so.

If I don't have any good Prime offers upon checkout, I'll go to Ebay, find the product, soft by lowest price, and it's usually the same price, or within a dollar or so, and ships a LOT faster than Amazon.com's standard shipping (usually ends up coming from Amazon anyways proxied by the Ebay seller with Prime).

I've gone through the Amazon cancellation pages many times. They always keep tweaking it and expanding the process.
