Why focused work time is so important
I think you mean micro transactions. Freemium is base for this.

I don't think its something bad. Even more, it can be absolutely voluntarily and vanity. Skins in LoL dont give you nothing except aesthetics, yet they cash in pretty hard.

Imho the success of micropayments is based on two things. 1. It alows to adjust spending to capabilities, I.e. is easier to scale. 2. it drains wallet slowly, so it's easier to spend more. Like credit services.

> Telecoms are far from all that bad.

Speaking of US telecoms, they are simply awful and abusive companies. Yes, they provide a critical service, but they sure do take their pound of flesh for it and constantly engage in activities that are harmful to society.
California could build more homes in a way that generates more tax revenue than it costs. In most places, the best way to do this is to gradually increase density, which increases the tax base. SF could have significantly more tax revenue if 8 story residential buildings were allowed to be built. (https://reason.com/reasontv/2018/12/27/san-francisco-mission...) Similarly, many of the other neighborhoods in CA would only need to legalize duplexes and/or triplexes in order to have the gentle density increases necessary.

Also, more homes != more cars and more driving. Seattle and Minneapolis have both added more residents and decreased vehicle miles traveled (VMT) by allowing infill development and increasing transit coverage. (https://usa.streetsblog.org/2019/02/08/minneapolis-and-seatt...)

You shouldn't; you should be annoyed that Apple shipped this and demand that they give you better.
SF has a population density of 18,679 per square mile. NYC has 27,000. There is plenty of room, you'd just have to scale everything along with it.

The problem isn't space. It's NIMBY. It's groupthink disconnected from reality.
I’ve always had a fondness for the iMac which I’ve been using as my main Desktop since the last PowerPC version, IMO they’ve always been a mark of the best all-in-one of the day, lots of people like to focus on the internals but it ignores the noise and clutter free desktop and top build quality I’ve enjoyed for over a decade.

I’ve upgraded 4 times since and am currently enjoying the iMac 5k, this floating screen is beautiful on the inside and out, the 5k is gorgeous and its form factor is near perfect, still just a single power cord disappearing out from behind it and wireless for everything else.

I’ve got the high-end version with Max CPU and SSD so I’ll skip this version but will in all likelihood get the next unless someone ships a better all-in-one, which never happens.
In my experience, the sense of "enlightenment" that came from experiments with psychedelic drugs arise from the realization that a very small quantity of chemicals (a dose of LSD is measured in millionths of a gram) can have such a profound effect on your perception of reality and sense of self-awareness.

That said, psychedelic drugs do not inherently bring the user to any kind of spiritual discovery or intellectual awakening. The path to enlightenment requires one to make the conscious choice to continue down it on a daily basis and the self-discipline to not get stuck in the murk and mire.

Drugs are just one of many tools available to facilitate meditations on the nature of being.

Unsurprisingly, however, hallucinogenic drugs are likely more often used as a distraction from reality. This is certainly a valid use-case for many people, but it does not have anything to do with enlightenment.
Having done several real estate transactions by now, realtors sometimes take their 3% without having to do a lot of work. But sometimes, that 3% is an absolute bargain. The way I see it, it's worth the 3% to make sure things go smoothly.

Sounds just like Facebook to me
If you are working with some random real estate agent then sure. They are just going to push crap on you and hope you sign.

You should build a rapport with one you trust. Then they don't get paid until you are happy, since you aren't going to buy something you aren't happy with and they know that. It took 2 or 3 to find one that I felt was working for me. Dragged him to all 20 properties I wanted to see in a day and told him no on everything and that was that, until the one I wanted popped up. Then I let him argue with the seller about things that I wouldn't have any idea how to approach.
I'm going Razer for higher-end upgradeable laptops & custom builds for anything which isn't going to be portable.
Can you post a link to an example? This sounds like something I could use for my all-too-common convenience hacks, but I can't quite envision it just from the description.
This change will already do that; Firefox doesn't whitelist sites by default.

My personal preference would have been to mute tabs by default rather than blocking autoplay:

- Sites can't detect a muted tab with JS, so they can't use it for tracking or block services behind it.

- Nothing would break. Firefox did a pretty good job of minimizing the potential breakage from this change, but there are still edge cases and some weird logic that's required to address them. A muted tab is no different than you unplugging the speakers from your computer. It'll never cause a Javascript error.

- It's simpler from a user perspective. You can already mute a tab. Why do we need another control that's meant to fulfill the same purpose?

The counter-argument is that blocking autoplay is actually about saving data, but in reality:

- The restrictions are trivial to bypass, since you can just start playing after the first user gesture/action.

- Muted videos are still allowed to autoplay.

So if you're trying to save data, it would still be a lot better to just have an option to block audio/video entirely, not just of the autoplaying variety.

As far as I can tell, Mozilla basically got kind of railroaded into this implementation because that's what Google did, and that set the general narrative. Mozilla ended up with a better implementation than Google, but this is still one of those restrictions where I feel like 2-3 years from now we're going to look back and say, "yeah, this wasn't really thought through all the way."
Are you really choosing web frameworks based on how 'innovative' they are?
Probably a false dichotomy.
The fact is that not everyone has the discipline to be productive while working remotely, and a company requires a different way of hiring, operating, and measuring to support remote work.
It's possible and well-known: https://css-tricks.com/aspect-ratio-boxes/. Also, for images, there is the simpler solution of specifying real width/height in the img tag, then use CSS with "max-width: 100%; height: auto" or anything similar.

Ask HN: How do you slow down time?
As I get older, time seems to go by faster and faster.

When I was in school, a semester seemed like an eternity. Now that I've settled into a career and have established some consistency in my life, the years have started to blur more and more. I have trouble delineating between what happened in 2018 vs. 2017, for example. 2014 seems like it was just yesterday.

What causes this to happen? What do you do to combat it?
Just wait till they realize the additional taxation (without that pesky representation) they can get by taxing remote workers.

I wouldn't be so sure.

Competitive games already need to compensate for latency in the network. This system technically won't have any "additional" latency, it will just move where it happens.

The amount of time between you hitting a button and a server somewhere registering the command and sending it to other players should be roughly the same (or close enough not to matter all that much for the vast majority).

Sure, some games where local timing is everything won't work as well (Super Smash Bros probably won't be able to be played on this system at the top tier), but the vast majority of players and games won't ever need that kind of millisecond precision.
Efficiency is a loaded word in this context. Agricultural monoculture is destructive in many ways and yet is easily portrayed as "efficient."

They are undercutting. Online brokerages like Redfin and Opendoor are challenging the 6% fee. Their success has led to the "standard" fee now being 5% in many markets, but if you use these platforms on both the seller and buyer side, you may now be able to get down to 2.5%. I expect the fees will continue to drop.

As the article points out, the realtor cartel works to de-platform individual realtors who undercut the fee by shutting them out of associations (broker networks) and in some cases removing local MLS access. By law, you have to be a licensed realtor to broker real estate sales.
At least on the iPhoneX some SVG blur filters can easily crash the whole browser. And it depends on the image size, so it is most probably a memory issue. But of course I do not know for sure because there was never any reaction on my bug report on Webkit.

Anyway, now there is a great solution for this issue and it is only $5200.
Then what’s wrong with buyers’ agents taking a flat fee, and sellers’ agents taking a percentage? That right there could almost cut these types of fees in half.
It's that was GNU is?
I wouldn't say "bugs". It was deliberate behavior.

Quality of life is even better in California if you are remote. I don't see how this helps.

I used to live in Austin but after getting a remote job I moved to LA. I get to live in an amazing, walkable neighborhood and rarely deal with the notorious LA commuting nightmare.
I want to build one myself as well, but I don't want to use existing code as a guide, rather challenge myself to implement from raw specs.

The problem is I haven't really found any yet that helped me (admittedly, I have so far devoted just one Saturday morning to it.) Are there any specs about the hardware that you used, or that anyone else can share?
This is not the case, at least in Oregon. Our tree farms are generally healthy, left undisturbed for 40 or so years between harvests, and are parceled out so that entire areas aren't harvested at once. All state run timber sales are surveyed to ensure there are no endangered species present, and, are tagged to reasonably protect against runoff issues (can't cut all the way up to a creek for example). The straight row plantations you may have been referring to are generally for wood pulp, AKA toilet paper.

Note: I am not a ecogeek, I just have a brother in law who is a wildlife biologist and works at a firm that does this stuff for the state, and, I regularly recreate (dirt bike, mountain bike, deer hunt) in a few different "working forests" here in oregon. These working forests aren't pristine old growth, but then again I wouldn't dirt bike etc in a virgin forest either.
well, that I completely agree with. :)
Could anyone explain why it's required to do "notice of liability protections"? To me it seems absurd that unless you are getting something directly in return (ie selling it) someone could sue you for just publishing code.

It wasn't immediately after update. It was after you updated it while it was running and then you tried something, that triggered the crash (like opening a new tab).

Later it stopped to crash, but acted weirdly (clicks on links didn't work, etc).

Nowadays we have the notice to restart the browser. It didn't arrive years ago, just a few releases ago.

This was only under Linux, and only with the distro package managers. Under Windows or MacOS, the updater updates the browser on next restart, so this didn't happen.
I'd argue MSFT does, too, and they've already cleared a HUGE hurdle with XBOX (the hardware + game ecosystem) & XBOX Live (social engagement).

The opportunity for Google is huge, but it will require sustained, strong, cross-functional execution that can be challenging for such an engineering driven, compartmentalized organization.
Not really, at least for developers you just have to look for the right company. Also, if you live in France but are looking for remote work anyway, no need to restrict yourself to French companies. That's the whole point of remote.

So it's still not easy, especially if you're junior, but from my experience I don't think the situation in US is much better.
On most keyboard (linux and windows) you can just type [Alt Gr] + [4] (which is also [$]).

> the cartel (real estate industry) prevents lowering percentages - and they fight to the death any upstart who wants to do it.

Do they? I had a realtor once who worked for 2%. Anecdotally, it didn't seem like she was being run out of town. In retrospect, I'd rather have paid 3% for a realtor who did a better job. That extra percent was not worth the months the property sat unsold.
Please show an example. I don't know any Apex user names, but the premise sounds very interesting!
No, it just means your input latency will be longer than 16ms.

My experience is that there's more communication friction when working remotely. I prefer being on-site in an office. Being remote can make it feel like a struggle not to get left behind.

My impression is that realtors who have their own investments in a market in which they operate sometimes err on the side of overpricing even when they know listings will remain on the market longer than the seller might want. In smaller, growing markets like Colorado it even looks like cartel behavior to me, since multiple brokers follow the same strategy.

You still have to buy the parts and put them together yourself; and then you have it follow the scene to figure out what to do for each macOS update (e.g. whether you should wait before installing it, whether you need to tweak some setting in Clover, etc.)

I’m willing to do that for one workstation that will live on my desk; I’m not willing to do it for a computer that’s going to be used by a relative who lives thousands of miles away, who I only see for a few days a year (and don’t want to waste those days building a computer.) Let alone several such computers, one per relative.

Whereas in the hypothetical I’m talking about, you order the computer pre-built from a website shipped to your relative, and burn macOS to a USB; and then, when you visit them, unpack the box, install the OS on the computer, and then forget about it.

Right, but California and California corporations are two completely different entities. California cannot legislate remote work, anymore than a california corporation can legislate the property tax.

Aside from being outdated advice, this is also globally impossible.

Microsoft Windows has got a major lock on the industrial control systems industry. Almost anything being produced today has a Windows machine in the workflow doing something critically important, from monitoring fluid flows to running microchip programmers and test stations.
This particular blog post did a fine job articulating the benefits of Rails, and these remain good reasons to use rails in 2019. I think there's another side of this discussion. There are reasons why rails itself is worth using, and then there are reasons why MVC frameworks + a sprinkling of javascript are still worth using.

Personally, I feel that the latest trend toward heavy javascript front ends that are more or less detached from the middle tier or back end has led to a wildly overblown, over engineered state of constant technical churn. I quit web development over this. I got involved in a project for a while, but finally decided that if I had to write javascript in these constantly changing frameworks, I didn't want to be a web developer anymore.

Fortunately, I have enough of a math and engineering background and work experience that I was able to move over to writing code for answers more than for applications, though code for answers can be used as a wing of an app. I largely stay out of the framework now.

But I use python, not surprisingly. Ruby is a nice language, and Rails is an excellent framework. I think that rails plus a little bit of javascript is far more productive than the javascript churn, and for a lot of apps, you give up next to nothing in terms of functionality.

But if I got back into web programming, I'd probably do what I described above, but in Python. Ruby, for whatever reason, just isn't a big player in data engineering, data science, scientific programming, machine learning, all that. I haven't programmed in Django before, but much as I enjoyed Rails, I'd probably stick with Python at this point.

Alternatively, if the javascript framework hamster wheel dwellers want to handle that mess and let me write my wing of it in python and integrate it however they please, then, uh, sure. As long as management understands that when they quit, I won't be able to maintain it. A few people tried to get me to use node, but I won't do it. I feel secure enough that the scientific programming community will not be switching over to javascript so that we can keep our programming language consistent with the shit show that is modern web development.
