Eh. Loom appears to be some kind of facetime / video teleconferencing product. I wouldn't really imagine a non-competitor bothering to advertise by fake-slamming a non-competing product.

Maybe I'm just lacking in imagination.
yeah. I like the glasses I got there but the owner was a little overbearing. Although I like it when they help curate the frames.
I'm having a hard time getting a clear picture what this actually entails. I am in violation if I reimplement Swift without forking the project (i.e. a "clean room reimplementation")? If I'm designing my own language, am I no longer allowed to include optional chaining? If so, I'm pretty disappointed with this direction, since it runs counter to the entire point of accessible programming languages, including many of the ideas that Swift itself uses. Imagine if there were patents on C: software development would be far further behind than it is today, because nobody would be able to make a compiler for it or reuse its syntax or features in any new programming languages. I'm not seeing any benefits aside from a vague "it protects Swift users from patent trolls", but I'm not sure I understand how this argument works.
The process is quite convoluted, but at least they didn’t offer 50% discount when you tried to cancel.
What I've seen from working in an office floor of ~70 people:

- Ghosting is w/e but seems kinda petty or social awkward depending on the circumstance. People have ghosted before, and the office still went on pretty much as normal. It's only annoying to other employees when the person ghosting drops a huge unexpected load of work on their old coworkers or project team. Then it screws over innocent bystanders more than bosses.

- Employers/Employees sometimes try to go tit-for-tat on being an asshole to each other. Usually nobody wins in this case. Sometimes it gets quite childish where employees complain about bosses to management, then bosses come back and complain about employees, and there's a cycle of bitterness until one side wears down the other. Get out if that happens.

- Instances of asshole behavior:

1. There was an issue from upper management to a manager, who then passed off the project to his team. The manager and the team put in a lot of work on the project (stayed late some days to get a faster turnaround to the execs) saying this would make their team look really good. After the project was complete, the manager passed it over to the execs and basically took credit for the entire thing without giving individual acknowledgement to the team. Total dick move.

2. A guy was laid off, and decided to give the boss a piece of his mind. It went from "Yea!" to "Yikes.." At first he summarized what was wrong with the workplace, which was cool. However, then it got into a diatribe about how personally awful the boss and management are. A lot of insults were said. He said the boss's daughter (who was a part-time intern) was a "slut-looking nepotistic dumbass", then pushed a bunch of stuff off a desk and said he would "mail, ring, and email" the boss everyday to tell him how terrible he was until he killed himself. Funny thing was after this was over, the guy left and put his hand up for a high-five from his coworkers like "I showed him!".

3. Another person really didn't like their job roles, and thought they would be totally different based on the interviews. He ended up taking another job a few months after being hired, but not before deleting all of his work and a repository that took hours to restore as a sort of "F U" for wasting his time with work he wasn't interested in doing. That was actually super annoying, and all of us remembered that guy for it.

4. Corporate "trialed" no timesheets by doing data analysis on badge detections to tell when employees were coming/leaving instead. It took no time before people realized it's a malicious convenience offering, and it was (supposedly) ended. The corporate thought behind it was pretty disrespectful and micro-managing.

Bonus: One time a manager and employee were fired for working together to sell credit card numbers from legitimate B2B sales on the darkweb as a "side hustle".
None of them are in the 8$ range. There also seem to some copies which are way overpriced.
While there is certainly some truth to your statement, the subsidies being referred to in the article are on installed panels. Prices on panels were held high by subsidies, and their removal resulted in a market supply glut. This 10-15% raise is just the correction from the previous ~30% fall.
Unfortunately I think many men in the US would forfeit that time, free money or not, believing that taking leave as a father is "unmanly" or "shows a lack of loyalty to the company". It's incredibly dumb, but... social pressure usually is.
That looks super annoying (seems like a really good way to get zero return customers), but does anyone remember how difficult it was for people to quit AOL in the (early?) 2000's? Just search for "cancel AOL" on youtube and you will find some pretty incredible accounts of people being straight up harassed by AOL reps to keep their accounts. For some people it took hours arguing with a rep over the phone before they would agree to cancel.
Issuing SAN-s with multiple tenants on the same certificate, even if the substantial technical problems were overcame, would make our clients reach for pitchforks and torches.

> You make a single API call with the name of the hostname you want a certificate issued for ... [magic TLS things happen]

This, precisely, is how the ALB _should_ work, without a silly 25-certificate limitation. Sounds like an excellent service.

I wonder what is the cost of issuance for a TLS certificate. There is minimal storage/network load, some computations (likely in hardware). Perhaps the main cost is the collection of sufficient entropy?

I'm not sure how cutting parental leave eliminates pr reduced these headwinds. It seems to me that it's deliberately putting more financial pressure on women to tolerate those headwinds. Not eliminating those headwinds. Women's choice is strictly less with 6 months of paid leave as compared to 1 year. Women have the choice to take 6 months of leave instead of the full year (the article mentions that they use 77% on average).

It still seems like this is trying to justify limiting women's choices and benefits, because it makes more of them work.

Ultimately, you might want to hire a sales person here in the US. This brings a whole different challenge but might be worth it.
> Dissatisfied customers who don't find refuge in a refund policy/process

It's dangerous to label such things as fraud. Chargebacks are a consumer protection mechanism of last resort as well as a remedy for unauthorized charges. If a merchant doesn't deliver what they promised and doesn't issue the appropriate refund, the merchant is the one engaging in fraud.

If Selenium doesn't work, give Puppeteer a go. It's NodeJS-based though.

How do you go about? Pretty simple. Define criteria, run Chrome Headless against it, and check results. Jest is a nice add on in your toolchain!

As there are many use cases and a million criteria to test agains, coming up with a one size fits all solution is difficult. Katalon is perhaps closest to it, but it has many shortcomings.

Some food for thought. Rely more on screenshots and compare them with what you expect. I'm writing a simple downtime checker as we speak and one of the key features is very basic analytics that compares screenshot to blank screens, generic error pages, parked domain landing pages, etc.

Yeah, and 45 was the high side. It often seemed closer to 38-40. I live in a hot climate, so the car was an oven without AC, which meant the range was reduced. But yeah, the early models had much worse degradation, on top of their lower range (expected on an early model, since it was new tech).

Articles like this will certainly bring out the pro-Typescript people, so this got me thinking. I'd like to hear from people who tried Typescript and found they didn't like it for any number of reasons.

Note I'm not pro or anti myself, I've only just begun playing with it, but would like to hear from all kinds of people.
Last time I looked Russia (not even talking about USSR) not only promoted but is quite involved in war in Ukraine that had killed thousands of people already. Georgia. Transnistria, etc. Thousands of people (mostly civilians, of course) were killed in Chechnia alone.

Pointing at Russia, of all places, as some kind of counter-example is laughable at best.
> I'm confused how people can advocate TDD and not like static types too seeing as static typing gives you robust automated tests for the minimal cost of adding type annotations every now and then.

For me personally as a TDD person, I just don't care about testing types. I test values. The type-checker just doesn't do much that I actually care about (better in-editor support is nice though). I know it's not a fashionable answer these days, but for me it's true. I don't see the pay-off in doing both, and types alone are not enough.
When you see a number that looks unreasonable based on your assumptions (how many books would he publish a day if that were accurate? What percentage of books on Amazon would he have published?), it is often useful to challenge your assumptions and ask if there is another way to frame the statement that makes more sense.

If English is not your native language, this can be subtle and catch you off-guard. I know that.

However, to "sell over 250,000 [...] books", would idiomatically be considered a number of copies, not a number of distinct titles.

Your response comes across - completely unintentionally, I presume - as a little obtuse in the "being slow to understand" sense, and if this is something you find others commenting on you might personally benefit from doing some work on it.
>If someone rejects you, simply accept the rejection without complaint.

Ghosting and rejecting are not immediately synonymous to someone who's never been ghosted before. In fact, ghosting is still a relatively new term, in this sense, confined to originating within this decade (I believe). Stating for someone to simply accept the rejection without complaint is expecting it to be a standard everywhere, when that most probably is not going to be the case.

Ghosting seems to specific to the American culture and, even then, this doesn't implicitly mean that everyone will "get the hint", as it were, if they've never been exposed to it before.
He asks the question "But should you use it for your large scale app development project?"

I thought that was literally the reason TypeScript came to be. Microsoft were having lots trouble wrangling Bing web app and internal MS devs wanted a tool to help catch the bugs!

I would say, if you are embarking on a large scale app, you most definitely want to include TypeScript from the start. It will pay dividends in the end.
Haha neat idea :) Can't you simulate this in git?

1. git checkout -b demo
2. write some code and/or comments
3. git commit -am "message of what we did in this step"
4. Go to step 2 if not finished with demo.
5. Cycle through commits with script, each one a frame.

I probably didn't think about it enough (commit granularity too fine == annoying), but that seems like it might work, and you have the added bonus of having everything in git.

Exactly. If you're able to document your cancellation process using only screen recording software, you're still in the top 10% of convenient cancellation experiences.
Yeah, that's the point. Not the dark patterns where there were 4 options presented way down a page to the user and only one would allow them to continue to something they had already indicated they would like to do.
Worst case is that 99% of the rest of the city is still accessible by automobile. High density areas like city downtowns should cater to pedestrians more due to that being the more humane overall.

As other people mentioned, there'd be workarounds for people with mobility issues for sure.
If you want to get to building ML models right away, take Practical Deep Learning for Coders. Cutting Edge Deep Learning is a part 2 to that class, with more advanced topics.

The Intro to Machine Learning, from my understanding, is more of a normal class that will take a deeper dive into some of the concepts and theories that aren't necessary for practical implementation, but will be helpful for understanding the whole process.

I personally recommend starting with this newest course.
What drives me insane is there's no way to mark videos as watched. You can hide them only with "not interested" even though you totally are.

> You may believe that it's better for the kid to have a full-time parent in the home, but I don't think that's a settled argument with any degree of certainty

I don't really believe either with any degree of certainty.

What I do believe, though, is that parents should be empowered and equipped to make that choice for themselves. Which I why I don't see the positive impact in a company putting more financial pressure on couples to pick one of those choices is a good thing.
The PHEV Prii have such a paltry range. Even the newest models have ~30mi IIRC. If you happen to have a very short commute, or very little traffic, they might be a good fit, but I feel like you really need to be in the 50-60mi electric range to make much sense.
> thats simply stupid.

Is that really all you have to offer?

> So ppl should get children at 50, when they have acruued parental leave

The very obvious flaw in your "thats simply stupid" conclusion is incorrectly speculating on how fast I think parental leave should accrue. Why would it take decades to accrue? N months per year, then cap it at a reasonable maximum until or unless it's used, with the accrued time/value persisting (which could have benefits for grandparents, people that adopt at older ages, and so on).

Granted this was 20 years ago, but I used to fly a fair amount out of the Bay Area. I don't remember ever catching a connecting flight at LAX. Usually it was one of Denver, Chicago, Salt Lake City, Atlanta[1] or Las Vegas.

One of the arguments I did read that was convincing is that Bay Area and LA basin airports are near capacity. Diverting passengers from the LA to Bay Area route would free up capacity for long distance flights. Thus alleviate the need to expand those airports. In the discussions I've had it's come up that expanding airports in built up areas is massively expensive. They want to add a third runway to Heathrow at a cost of £14 billion. That's 25% of the projected cost of CHSR.

Author here. After four years, I still stand by this advice/critique. As everyone likes to point out, there are a few presenters that are an exception to the rule. That's true! I'm certainly not one of them, though.

I would also love to see better tooling made for creating presentations from code. I usually end up painstakingly custom highlighting code so that it can be stepped through line-by-line on slides which is very ungrateful and frustrating work. I also haven't done this in a while, so if folks have found or made tools that make this easier, please send me recommendations!

A quick first point: you're making a blanket statement against a heterogeneous population. Some non-profits are definitely not efficient, and some are very efficient.

The big difference, and there is one, is related to ownership and operations. There are no distributable earnings, and they cannot be sold/acquired. This definitely factors into decisions balancing profitablity and ethics. There are laws about nonprofit compensation, too: https://www.guidestar.org/ViewCmsFile.aspx?ContentID=3890

Question: Does this work for both parents? That is, in theory, both parents are eligible for a year (or six months?) of paid leave? Might it be possible to not have both parents take the time simultaneously? That is, one parent takes the first six months then the other parent the second six?

Mind you, that takes some coordination, but it's not impossible, is it?
I strongly recommend downloading educational and otherwise valuable content. It solves so many problems, present an possible.
It's better than the alternative, but still far from perfect. Unemployment benefit is supposed to provide you a safe net should your employment lapsed - so no one really expects that you would maintain the same quality of living. If push comes to shove you can and will cut all the excess (entertainment, dinning out, traveling), leaving with just bare necessities.

Now, with the parental leave, when your expenses rise (diapers, formulas, cloths, ...) you're expected to make do on the same barebone salary replacement. I've experienced this myself quite recently: I had a choice to take parental leave and get a huge pay cut, or just burn through all accumulated vacation time and get back to work early.

Currently, Service Canada web site says that "maximum yearly insurable earnings amount is $53,100" - which cuts your income 3-4 fold you choose to stay at home. I think many high-earners (read: more that 53k) would rather choose to have more deductions throughout the year, but have 70-80-100% matched.
I would say that there's no Typescript tax. Rather, there's a Javascript tax for Typescript. As in, the shortcomings of Typescript only come from Javascript. Typescript is transpiled to Javascript, so types are not enforced on execution, and that's the only real limitation of Typescript.
This is why legal governance is important. One could argue it's the customer's choice to enter into a theme park, so they could choose not to go instead if they don't want to give up their biometric data. But imagine you get in a car with friends to go to a theme park for the day and then you arrive and they want your fingerprints. That's a tough choice to say no, and most consumers won't say no. However, then when Six Flags sells or breaches the data later and folks have to deal with identity theft fallout they will suffer.

On the other hand, as long as we use biometrics as identifiers but not authenticators then it's not problematic if the data becomes public. Indeed, having a fingerprint might be a good option if that can allow for then not storing any other PII data. I think once companies really start to understand that PII is a liability, not an asset, we'll slowly see a shift in the industry back towards pseudo-anonymity.
no shit, this is what everybody with a brain has warned about

China's MO is to subsidize Chinese businesses, restrict foreign competition internally, and steal foreign companies IP until they are bankrupt, while simultaneously being allowed to export their goods to those same countries with no penalty. Then they jack up the prices when all the competition is gone

Everybody criticized Trump for the steel and solar tariffs because they don't think beyond next quarter earnings report. What happens in 20 years when China has a monopoly on steel, solar, and other key industries and they decide to jack up prices? The rest of the world won't be able to do anything about it because they are junkies and China is the supplier
