What the article doesnt mention is college debt. I know tons of people who have college debt for degrees that pay absolutely nothing. Its debt they will never escape, and im guessing mom and dad feel guilty about it to some extent.

I came from a poor family, so college wasnt much of an option. My mom and dad had lived their whole lives under check cashing shysters and credit card debt until dad hurt his back and went on disability/heroin. Mom did the best she could at the local truckstop diner where i spent most of my time after school. College was never an option and looking back im glad it wasnt.

I grew up to become a damn good diesel engine tech. not the best, but i walk out of the shop every day feeling like I actually did something meaningful. Some days im even making cut-rate lawyer money. but I see college kids at my local bar, partly because thats an aesthetic for college kids my age, but also because its a necessity. They buy a round of el-cheapo beers and sit in the corner on their phones for an hour. They rarely tip or if they do its some weird math that comes out to screw over the barman, but its hardly their fault.

I bought a Sam Adams for one of these guys who was fired from mcdonalds for showing up to work late just once. He had a masters degree in business management. He came home to see his prius getting repossessed, and decided to just decided to keep on walking past his apartment and down to the local watering hole. His plan was to ride out an eviction and move back in with his folks.
How condescending and moral relativistic of you to say that there is a wrong time and place to assert what is and is not a human right, that there is no unselfish reason to do so, and that human rights are merely a matter of individual preference.

I can't understand the tone of this article-- is there something inherently wrong with receiving parental help? What's wrong with family members helping each other? It's part of being in a family, people of your own blood helping, protecting, and lifting each other up. In an article slighting millennials for claiming to "pull themselves up by the bootstraps", it's even weirder to look in the NYT comments section filled with boomers talking down at struggling millennials while bragging about how they themselves worked 8 jobs, saved 10 years for a Honda Accord, trekked 5 miles in the snow to get to work.

I'm doing it. My wife is a stay-at-home mom. Here's the thing... my wife hasn't worked since we were in college. We never got used to having two salaries coming in. I think the real difficulty is couples base their lifestyle (housing, cars, schools, etc.) around both parents working... and so it becomes a requirement to keep up with the payments.

Cutting your household income in half voluntarily is a hard choice to make. It's easier if you've never had the option.

This is cool... I was first employee at startup who sold about 5 years later. My original stock options sheet said my shares would be worth a cool 1.2mil. Turns out the shares were only worth about 60k. Pretty solid , but not fuck you money. more like pay off some of wife's student debt and kickstart retirement saving money haha.

I will have to say though getting a check worth 5 figures and cashing that bitch felt great!
Some things that stand out to me:

- In the header, it looks like you're using the same text style for the inactive navigation links as the helper text ("Logged in as").

- Icons should be used to help clarify things, but most of the icons seem to be just arrows pointing right on links. You can probably omit them!

- In the source tree, I had no idea I could click on the file names until I hovered over them by chance. Blue text alongside black text is a very strong signal that the blue text is a link and the black text is not. (Also note that in the file path at the top, the ancestor directories are blue and clickable while the current directory is black and not). Here is where an icon would be useful: to disambiguate between directories and files.

- Not a visual UX issue, but an accessibility one: for whatever reason, keyboard navigation doesn't work for me in Firefox.

In general, just try to have consistent styles for things, and consistently different styles for different things. Links should look like links, not unclickable text. It's okay if you take a bit of artistic license in specific places (like the main navigation) but things should at least be internally consistent within that place.
Hey, since the author is that responsive to feedback here is mine: Minimal design is great, but my projects work a bit better since I moved away from having that as a goal. I still like to keep it simple, but there are elements not fitting to a minimal design that help to make a page more usable.

For example, it should be useful to move the top navigation bar into a big colored menu bar, like on github or on HN. That way the central content element of the page is no longer just separated by whitespace or placement from the navigation. I found that to be incredibly useful, I discovered that pattern for Pipes when as an in-joke re-using the Yahoo pure CSS framework (https://www.pipes.digital/, I guess having a look makes it clearer) and then had to adopt that pattern for my other projects. Also a place where using a drop shadow to put the navigation visually on a different height level can work out well.

There recently was a discussion of two github redesigns proposals on HN. The first redesign removed parts of the file area (at first, in a later step completely iirc?) from the summary page. Sourcehut is missing that area as well and I think it's a mistake, as was convincingly argued in the comments there: A part of what made github great compared to other code hosting pages was to not just show a list of commits or meta information on the central project page, but to have the files tree as the central element. It helps so much to give a clear understanding to visitors about what actually is in the repo. Imho the summary tab should show the files in the repo, as Github does.

A useful rule for links is that all links should be colored as long as they are not in a navigation area, those are understood without needing that. Ofc even good designs don't always do that, the links to commits in the file area of github for example, which is good as it puts focus on the file links instead. And sometimes links are buttons and that's usually hard to put into rules as well.

But with regards to links: It's a bit strange that the top navigation has a highlight on link hover, the second one does not (summary, tree, log, ...)

Your css applies `font-size: .9rem;`, it shouldn't. That's often ignored and who am I to preach design, but I have the absolute conviction that body text should not be messed with. Trust in the browser, keep it as is, just make headings bigger and detail elements a little bit smaller, the latter only when absolutely needed. Fits to your design philosophy anyway.

"Design for Hackers" is a nice book that could be added to the book recommendation you got already, at the very least it is nice to read.

PS: It might be that even for a project as big as this a CSS framework like Skeleton could be useful to get the basics of the design in a better shape (without saying it's awful now, it evidently works already), though of course there would still be lots of custom design work to be done.

I'm not questioning or disbelieving the veracity of your statement, but do you know where Buffett made those comments? I'm not seeing anything in a casual search and that would be interesting to parrot around.
> Then there are the free services. Ms. Palmer, who is 39 and lives near Washington, D.C., said that the free 20 to 25 hours of child care she receives every month from her parents contributed to her family’s decision to have a third child. If she were to pay a babysitter, Ms. Palmer estimates it would add up to around $6,000 a year.

This kinda bugs me, not only because inter-generational child rearing has been the norm for most of history rather than something unique that deadbeat millenials are relying on, but also because it propagates the belief that anything you don't pay for with money is considered "free" (the bad "free", as in "deadbeat" or "moocher").

There's the whole debate that GDP is the wrong measure precisely because it doesn't measure these kinds of "unpaid services", but I prefer to look at it another way: a "livable" city is more than what restaurants and bars are around, but also who your neighbors and social connections are (I've heard this described as alternative forms of capital beyond financial capital like social and cultural capital).

It's not that millenials are killing the babysitter industry, it's more millenials are reaching the age where they understand the whole "it takes a village" folk wisdom.
Title selection is heavily automated / outsourced. Selectors have lists from publishers and the library community to work off of so whatever the actual number is, it definitely follows the 80:20 rule. Most of the 1500 Wayne picks, he won't even think about.
>The way you wrote and posted this article, there was an implication to me (and I'm guessing to others) that you think this design philosophy is better than what most other people are doing. The article would benefit from some qualifications, e.g.: "I'm still teaching myself UX and aesthetic design," for example. As it is, it comes across as a strong argument from someone who thinks he's an expert (and thinks other people's design decisions are wrong).

I thought I covered this pretty well in the conclusion: "I’m not a particularly skilled UI designer, so keeping it simple like this also helps to make a reasonably nice UI attainable for an engineer-oriented developer like me."

Outside of that, thank you very much for the resources.
I grew up in a house like that, and I came out just fine, and with no financial support from my parents -- including for college tuition! I went to a reasonably priced local school, didn't live in a fancy dorm and took the public bus back and forth to school, home, and my job.

What we need to do to address "inequality" is to tax this transfer of wealth as income so responsible self-sufficient people who didn't get this privilege won't have to unduly subsidize these same people when they hit retirement age and get themselves in the same underwater situation.

In Hawaii, where housing is physically limited and prices are insane (maybe not like SF but still), a lot of families live with 2 or 3 generations in the same house. It's perfectly normal there, for example, for kids to live with their parents until their late 20's in order to save money, and some live with their parents until they pass away and then they inherit the home and live in it as their own. It's a much more diverse place than the US mainland, and it has a heavy dose of several Asian and other cultures which make it this way (Hawaii is kind of a "stew" rather than a "melting pot" like the mainland).
You should use the TianoCore based firmware instead of the U-Boot it comes with. TianoCore even runs QEMU to emulate the VBIOS, so you should be able to get graphics before OS boot, like on a normal PC :)

Yup although the sucessful interections with your product is as important for context of where it goes bad.
The compromise is to make sure this transfer of income is taxed like any other income.
"let go" the notion of individual freedom, and replace it with your parents having control via financing over your life for most of it. Yeah I'll pass. Alternative proposal - vote for parties who will reverse intergenerational inequality: reform the housing market, dispose of the (corporate and literal property) rentiers, introduce a wealth tax, equalise pensions (it's insane that one generation is going to get pensions and the next basically isn't).

"Let go of the idea that you can live as an independent human" have a word with yourself.

I'm not saying your argument is incredible because you are X, I'm saying that I am fairly certain I have you dead to rights that you believe X, and that X is bad and you should feel bad. That isn't an ad hominem, that is an opinion. It is an important distinction. Please keep it in mind.

Anyway. What "right to entitlement from the rest of the country"? As a generality, states with high state/local taxes net out as significantly greater federal contributors than states with low state/local taxes, significantly, and deductions for state/local taxes have already been recently capped in a way to throw red meat to the resentful base.

"We", in this formulation, are already pulling our weight. "We" have also recently increased what weight we are pulling. Should not the states of the party of personal responsibility maaaybe show some good faith on this one and do a little moving on their own?
I've met a member of every class that's lied about "pulling themselves up by their bootstraps" (by the way, isn't that meant to be an ironic paradox?).

From the rich white male Boomer to an immigrant Chinese business owner, everyone seems to feel the need to make more of their struggle than it was. Like, it was already a struggle, why lie and make it seem more so? You started your business by working 12 hour days funded by the pennies in your pocket... And the 300k business loan someone was willing to give you on the basis of your bachelor's in business, which meant a hell of a lot in 1957. Or the classic "came into America on a boat with seven dollars in my pocket," not mentioning the family safety net back home or the fact that the 7$ was more like 7,000 and this was 1965.

But it's obvious why people do that, because people have been doing it for ten thousand years and it's nothing new. We like to feel important, and if our truth doesn't make us feel important we'll lie a bit until we feel important again.

So I'm tired of old people making flippant statements like above about millennials that are either completely off base or simply applicable to every human on the planet, for as long as we've been able to talk. Allow me to engage in my own psychological fallacy - I feel like with enough years under your belt, you should just know that's how we work.
New Linus? He is a guy who sends dozens of mails every month and has cursed in a few handpicked ones. That doesn't make him especially "cursy". I'd say he's about average.
If you mean in a comparison against AST interpretation, then I'd say that Rust tagged enums (which C doesn't have) are already essentially a bytecode, except properly aligned, so it makes sense that they have same or slightly better performance than you would get with manual bytecode implementation.
I was wondering this as well, as I haven't been following things for a few months. But indeed he's back maintaining the kernel and seems far more civil than previously.
Email Marketer here: I really wouldn't use acquired lists, even "legitimate" ones. Assuming they are not full of spam traps or bad data, email is the worst medium to come in cold on. Once someone unsubscribes or blacklists, they are gone forever.

Also, the way email clients work now is much more robust. Even if your emails are not marked as 'spam', the big players (Outlook, Gmail, etc) use machine learning to determine if people are actually reading your emails. Badly performing senders are relegated to a Clutter or Promo folder, which can be just as bad as Spam. So coming in strong with good performing emails is very important to establishing a reputation. (Double opt-in is your friend here, that opt-in email gets a lot of inbox activity for you.)

If you have a list, use that to manually call down or email people individually. If you are going to intrude on them cold, at least do them the honor of being personal with it. Plus, you can really hone down on the messaging and finding what people respond to. This is very much a case where premature optimization is your enemy.

Start looking for an automation platform once you have more transactional emails established. Have all the opt-ins and follow best-practices, yadda yadda.

That is indeed twisted morality.

Marco Arment is going to have a fit on this week's ATP.
Calm down. I was addressing the author, not you. If I wanted to be critical of what you wrote, I would have replied to your comment. I didn't. Decaf.
The site that I built lets you save links to articles, videos, and stuff like that.. and you give other posts a Thumbs-up or Thumbs-down.

You build reputation "points" over time... BUT those points are specific to individual topics.

So... votes have a bigger impact on the topics members are trusted with (by the community). Kind of like a "peer-review" system.

There's other stuff.. you can build libraries, organize bookmarks, etc. But the real purpose of this is to let a community decide what passes as "GOOD" on the internet... I think we need that.

Enjoy, and please let me know what you guys think. This is my first project, ever, so I could really use some feedback.. Thank you!

Yes. In a market economy it is wildly unfair to take family assistance because many people do not have access to it.

There are only about a dozen states that pay more in federal taxes than they get back — all of the states you're referencing are on that list. California specifically has been a donor state for more than 30 years.

I'm not sure how this is hoarding in any sense of the term. California is something like 40th when it comes to the ratio of federal assistance received to federal tax paid.

California is also in the top 15 states when it comes to tax paid per capita.

I guess if you wanted to complain you could pick on California's federal tax revenue ratio to Gross State Product — which is middle-of-the-road compared to other states. And even then, you're talking about 25 states that are worse off... and I think only 1 or 2 of those states are so-called "donor states."

If you're looking for personal biases... I don't even live in California. Outside of the weather I really kind of hate it there... but I'm having a really hard time finding any information to support your argument. I'd like to rag on California here... but if taxation is your primary concern then there are 30+ states that are larger priorities.

I'm not sure what your source is, or which numbers you're looking at specifically — but it feels like you're picking cherries to grind your axe.

I'm also curious about which state you think is setting the ideal example in this regard. If California is doing so poorly in your eyes... who is getting it right?
