What's the equivalent of $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS for macOS and Windows?
Actually, yeah, he probably does. His approach doesn't scale -- not at all. He bets big on individual companies. As much as Berkshire Hathaway has scaled, it's by having employees who are similarly _involved_ in the process. They aren't armchair investors -- not now and not in the past.

And no, companies don't give tours to randos. You have to do it with a lot of money on the table. Buffet isn't rags to riches; he's medium-rich to super-rich, and he got his start in much smaller businesses.
That’s interesting. I guess we could set up something that used a combination of CloudTrail/CloudWatch Event/lambda that monitored any EC2 instances that are launched without the required tags and alert someone.

We do have billing alerts set up already that would warn us something went wrong we would have to investigate to find out what.

Better alerting and monitoring is one of our goals this year.

Heck I’m still finding places with hard coded keys in programs instead of letting the SDKs get the keys from the default configuration file (development) or from the instance role when they are run on EC2/lambda. Unfortunately all of the examples do it and the developers didn’t know any better.
Considering someone went through the trouble of inventing, manufacturing, and marketing them when milk was already there, I expect them to taste better.

> there is solid evidence of plenty of fraud on the last election

In fact, there isn't. If there is, please provide supporting evidence. Since we're on the subject of the New York Times, here[1] is the closest example I can find, which resorts to vague, unsubstantiated insinuations that voters were "pressured" despite historically low turnout.

As you indicate, the military supports Maduro. There is no reason to believe this will change. The putative interim 'leader' Juan Guaidó was relatively unknown until this coup attempt, has no constitutional mandate to lead, and has no traction with the Venezuelan state. He received an astounding zero percent of the vote in the last election.

Efforts by the US's famously free press to portray otherwise have sunk to desperately lower stabs at 'clickbait' than the linked article. A few hours ago, NPR published the sensationalist headline "High-Ranking General Rejects Maduro, Who Proposes Earlier Parliamentary Elections"[2]. Eight paragraphs later, we get this hilariously sunken lede: "Although hundreds of generals serve in the Venezuelan military, the announcement represents a victory for Guaidó, NPR's Philip Reeves reports."

None of this is to defend to current leadership of Venezuela - it is disastrous. Neither would I defend the leadership of Saudi Arabia, which doesn't even _pretend_ to have "democratic order." But these are not problems to be decided by the US, the media class, or the "international community." Don't take it from me - ask an Iraqi.

Regarding your first three points: open opinions about sex; victims of sexual assault; sex workers.

Have you tested any of these on google.com recently?

I have and I do regularly. There is definitely no shortage of results when looking for information / blogs about any of these three.

I'm in Australia, but the results appear to cover the Anglosphere in general.

The search term blogs about earning money with porn appears to be an industry in and of itself, and well represented on Google search results.

So, in response to your initial question, I'm going to go with: exceedingly unrealistic.
They put it at ~/go because that's what every official document used as the example $GOPATH, before it had a default value, so it's largely just to minimize change from what they previously recommended.

That said, for something like source code, it makes sense to go into $HOME, so I don't understand this particular complaint the other poster made.

Better yet, all 50 US states have government-run newborn heel prick programs, and they keep the blood.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/california-biobank-dna-babies-w...

It's cartoonishly evil. The government literally takes and stores the blood of all newborn infants.

There's a good thing they do with it, which is screening for genetic diseases, and some epidemiology. But there's nothing preventing them doing all that without tying it to each newborn's identity.

The doctors are stupid about it, but very few are going to forcibly take a blood sample from an infant while you protest and film it with your phone. And they'll give you horror stories and guilt trips about all the awful diseases your infant might have if you skip the test.

But fortunately the Mayo Clinic Labs have a test they can mail to your doctor that you can use instead:
https://www.mayocliniclabs.com/test-info/newborn/index.html

Better plan it in advance though, and don't let the doctors put you off. Because once baby arrives, you'll be tired and the doctors will use all kinds of time pressure on you.
You also fell victim to a broken UI: the one that clips a screenshot and doesn't let you know that there's more to it!
A plea bargain is essentially a punishment for insisting on your right to a trial. There’s nothing wrong with allowing people to plead guilty, but the part where you offer the accused a lighter sentence for doing to (equivalently, threaten a heavier sentence for wanting a trial) is awful.

MacOS does something sorta like this. It uses extended attributes to mark where a file came from in some cases, such as when an executable is downloaded from a browser, it will mark it as "unsafe" and when you attempt to run it, this causes it to fail to run and you have to whitelist it via security preferences.

I'd argue we shouldn't always optimize for taste. I drink a mix of plant milks and grass fed milk (mostly I use it in baking or yogurt making.) I buy for sustainability, taste, cost, and ethical animal treatment reasons.
When I was at Edmunds.com, I worked on a few "greenfield" projects, including VR. I'm generally bearish on VR, but I think if there's a space where VR can truly usher in a paradigm shift, it's auto -- both for design/development, as well as showcasing (think potential buyers, auto shows, etc.).

They're a bug/feature from the early days of OS X. Apple should have done the work of storing directory metadata in something like ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist but they were too busy getting anything at all to work.

This is the type of low hanging fruit that Apple evidently doesn't care about anymore, but would go really far towards improving user sanity. It's like when you go to a restaurant and order the cheapest thing on the menu as a way to gauge the overall quality of the food there.

These are valid points but only to a degree. Disagreement in the value of experience is not the real problem.

The real and more serous issue is that discrimination is not rational. It is not about value or merit, it is an innate dislike, to varying degrees, regardless of merit, circumstances and value.

It has happened/is happening to other groups and the pattern is identical. It is probably a bit confusing because the group affected has generally never experienced it before. It may also be useful to a persons morale to convince themselves that if they only try harder, they can get any job. A pattern that might have actually worked when younger.

But even in this thread you have comments of the form "all people over 40 are X". And you have this in every thread on this topic and, because agism is generally acceptable, it includes language that, at least on this site, would unthinkable used against other groups.

To such people your abilities and price are irrelevant. While relevant skill is certainly a necessary condition to employment, it is in no way sufficient. Where bigotry is not overtly used, irrelevant conditions are piled on (such as randomly chosen college exam questions or culture fit) until the candidate can be plausibly dis missed.

So until the underlying irrational distrust and dislike is addressed, all the merit in the world will still only get you employed shrinking subset of organization.
It's senseless to store files that don't have user-facing meaning in My Documents. I know games that use it varyingly for web caches, shader caches, binary config files, debug logs, Lua scripts, downloaded mods, and even executables. And while arguably most gamers understand what save files are, they can't be double-clicked to open them, so I don't consider them documents (Maybe this is pedantic).

All this kind of stuff is what Appdata\Roaming and Appdata\Local are supposed to be for.
>One thing I’ve been thinking about is that it would be nice to tag files with the program that created them.

Isn't what you describe basically the file extension? Not so much what program created the file, so much as what program is meant to handle/open the file.

Keep in mind that's actually the best practice and it's what they were supposed to be doing.

My wife makes almond milk from store bought almond paste and water, and the resulting milk is almost pure white. I‘m also quite confident that rice milk from white rice will be white either. „Usually“ is a fuzzy term but I don’t think it’s warranted in the context of artificial colors in alt milks.
I purchased tickets on the AirAsia website recently, and I am confident that at least on Firefox, their date picker for the passenger's date of birth has an off by one bug. At least in my case, customer support was able to change the date.

Edit: I am confident because I purchased multiple tickets with multiple passengers and also had someone double check that I filled out the info correctly. All the date of births ended up being one day later than they should have been.

Sorry for the tangent, but this is one of the biggest missing ingredients in science fiction and fantasy today, in my opinion. It is really, really captivating to get into the head of someone who thinks differently from you at a very fundamental level. But so much of what I see is just mindlessly regurgitating our modern assumptions. What I'd really love to see is fiction that takes this level of depth and applies it to hypothetical cultures. It seems to be that could be really awesome.
Second, both are not milks

Please don’t be this sort of pedant. It’s been common for a long time to refer to various substances with a similar appearance to milk as “milks” - see coconut, Magnesia etc.

More to the point, “mylke of almaundes” as a term was around in the 15th century, so at this point it’s hardly unreasonable that it’s entered common usage.
And Windows did it first.
By "X-variables" you mean $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS, $XDG_DATA_DIRS etc.? They aren't related to the X server. The "XDG" is for the old name of the Freedesktop.org project (X Desktop Group) [1].

To play devil's advocate: this is tool for helping you to search for a product. The official transaction happens at the end when they show you the date, time, airports, costs, etc. all on one page and you click "approve". (Presumably, the date was correct there.) One can certainly argue that their sales process was misleading (if only due to incompetence on their part), but that's a slightly different complaint than they saying they didn't deliver the product you agreed to purchase.

I'm not really talking about the current administration. I'm talking about the US government's overall policy of overseas intervention that goes back decades.
The press often criticize the government for not intervening, or for exiting an intervention. You're not going to see anyone on the pages of the NYT say that the US shouldn't be intervening in other countries, period.

> How did you miss the fact that virtually every US newspaper has criticized the current president's foreign policy on deep breath Syria, Russia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Russia, Canada, South Korea, Russia, most of our allies, etc?

> Syria

The press criticized the administration for deciding to leave. Even though the Syrian civil war is basically over and the regime won. Obama was criticized for not "doing enough" even though the Syrian Civil War was the largest CIA operation in decades and the opposition was overwhelmingly made up of sectarian death-squads.
Don't take my word for it, read what the NYT's Thomas Friedman said in 2017. He argues we should allow ISIS to continue existing so that it might take down the Assad regime. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/12/opinion/why-is-trump-figh...

> Russia

The liberal press has been criticized the decision not to ramp up a new cold-war with Russia. They attack anyone who opposes more sanctions.

> Iraq

The press uncritically promoted the invasion of Iraq and only turned against it when it started going bad.

> Afghanistan

If the any administration decided to pull out they would be criticized.

How about the West's role in Yemen? You didn't hear anything about that in the Anglo press until recently even though the UN was calling it the worst humanitarian disaster in the world.

I'm not saying the establishment press is always wrong. They serve an important purpose, but on foreign policy in particular their coverage ranges from good(leaving the Iran deal is bad) to awful(uncritical support for Syrian opposition), and sometimes it's just propaganda.

Wouldn't the title be equally as correct written as "create VR cars in 3D", or even just "create cars in VR".

And that's before mentioning that 'create' is ambiguous. Build or design???

Could someone convince me on the use case? I get that designing a car in 20 hours is 'better' than in 20 weeks. But with all the 1000s of hours put into other considerations, is this going to make any appreciable difference to anything?

Ask HN: Best headsets for open plan office
Hey all. Building teams in two locales with open plan offices (that part is out of my control), and the din of background noise is becoming unbearable. My primary recommendation is to work from home, but when people come into the office I'd like to find a good headset that will both reduce the ambient noise they hear (active noise cancelling) and reduce the amount of that noise that bleeds through their mic.

Telephony setup supports bluetooth or we could find a way to get a wired setup working. Ideally folks could use these to listen to music as well.

It's frustrating to consider how that same standard applies to the USA.

We certainly have enough laws that everyone is a criminal and selective enforcement perverts the idea of justice.

Of course, I'm not saying things are equally as corrupt as they are in China, but we're definitely on the same spectrum. Maybe the difference is, in the USA, "The Party" includes both big business AND the government.
