Everything dhall advertises itself as useful for is basically as a replacement for situations where YAML has been abused or where the separation of concerns between code and config was improperly cut (this is largely how YAML files get to be mind numbingly repetitive).

It does this by creating something not quite as powerful as a real programming language (sometimes a feature; probably not here though) while still complicated enough to effectively be unreadable to an average Joe.

The default blue link color is also accessible by default, w/ a contrast to white of 9.3:

Adhering to HTML spec does not by default make a fully accessible website. White text on a white background adheres to the spec but no one can see it. If you mean adhereing to something like WCAG then that is a premium since it requires things like aria attributes, balancing contrasting colors for foreground and background and a whole slew of other things.

Isn't it my job as a professional to tell my clients what I am doing and how much it will cost them? Isn't it my job to also explain the importance of these line items? I do this task.

Isn't it my client's professional job to then take that information, process it and see how those line items affect their bottom line? If accessibility for the blind on an Aircraft Pilot app website for Pilots who need vision to have that job and use the app is then excluded is this a moral failing on my part or the clients fault? I would say no in both cases, they have literally zero visitors who are blind visiting their website.
Off topic, but something I've wondered for a while. Maybe someone here knows :)

Years ago (13, to be exact) when I was young and didn't know anything and couldn't afford to buy a parked .com that made more sense, I registered a .ws domain at Godaddy of all places. It has subsequently become the e-mail address I use for everything.

Unfortunately, .ws doesn't really allow transfers. Now that there are all these non-evil registrars popping up, I'd like to switch to one of them, but I can't. Does anyone have any ideas about what if anything I could do? I suppose I could by another domain and forward the e-mail, but the whole point of having my own domain was that I wouldn't have to switch again :(
No, I mean effect, i.e. causation.

In this case* the direction of the correlation is 100% knowable: economic and education outcomes in the 1990s cannot possibly have altered whether or not you had a male twin in the 1970s, unless you can reverse time's arrow.

*The OP was specifically asking about marriage rate and education outcomes. The paper also examined fertility. It's at least remotely plausible that there's some 3rd/confounding biological mechanism that actually the cause of both the presence of a male twin and the increased fertility of the female twin. In that case I would agree that 'correlation' is the more appropriate choice of term, but note that it's still correct in that case to assign 'effect' to both of the observed properties as they'd be downstream of the confounder.

Good luck bootstrapping biotech or robotics company! Of course it’s better to be sole owner, but it does not work when building product takes years.
There has been similar systems in place in France and Sweden, and probably other European countries. Usually, they are targetting financing system: you can borrow money at a rebated cost if you do not rent it for a period of five to ten years.

The intended consequences are more people being able to afford a house and home ownership has increased with most policies that I can think of. There are some consequences: rental contracts are very hard to find in Stockholm for instance, but those hardly seem unintended.
I don't think the landlord labor/job is really the issue, it's the capitalization of real estate. Do you think it's ethical for banks and billionaires to buy up properties in very expensive markets and price out people who have been living there for decades? They're just looking to make a buck, and in the process may displace those with less power and luck to not be wealthy.

I doubt someone buying a property themselves, living in it while fixing it up, then renting it out is really the issue. That's the Mr. Money Moustache type approach, which to me is much less pernicious than the ultra wealthy leveraging their incredible luck and fortune.

1. Setting the exercise window to 90 days instead of a more reasonable window (measured in years) should be a strong indicator that whoever is structuring their deals is not at all interested in the welfare of your equity.

2. You no longer have a seat in the company (much less at the deal table).

3. Their desperation will be apparent, and they will accept very bad terms in the round (firing your staff = no leverage).

Even if they manage to stay in business, your investment is unlikely to be worth anything. As someone else said, would you really want to invest in this company if not for your history? Why not put that $13k into another investment?

The Fortran Automatic Coding System (1957) [pdf]
No, actually it does not. Universe that we have does not have anything that would vary by more than couple dozen of orders of magnitude.

Only about 10^247 of instructions could have been performed by a computer since beginning of our universe (if the entire universe was converted into a computer and it would do calculations in theoretically optimal way).

The observable universe volume to planck volume ratio is only of the order of 10^185.

247, 185, that's still long way to 1000000000 orders of magnitude, whatever way to look at it.

Even if you decide your unit of measurement of volume is the volume of entire observable universe then the planck volume, which is orders of magnitude less than any particle volume, is still just 10^-185. That is just 185 decimal places, far from billion decimal places.

Or, in other words, if you like something more tangible:
0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
0000000000000000000000000000000001

This is 1 at 185th decimal place.

If I did this for 1 billion decimal places the entire document would be gigabyte in size and you would spend a bit of time downloading and scrolling it, assuming HN would first allow me to upload it.

GitLab PM for Verify (CI) here.

I agree that a lot of complex pipelines can be tough to express in YAML. One of our key focuses this year is to make advanced use cases for GitLab CI/CD more lovable. Specifically, you can see the overall direction here: https://about.gitlab.com/direction/verify/. Some specific issues I'd love feedback from the community on that I'm thinking about are:

* Directed acyclic graphs (DAG) for pipelines: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/47063

* Make it possible to use any language to generate `.gitlab-ci.yml` and pipelines: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/45828

Ask HN: Would buying dead YC companies be possible and worth it?
Every demo day I see a few wallflowers that look like the runts of the litter. Maybe the team wouldn't take advice, didn't work hard, or fought amongst themselves.

Everyone looks at YC's success stories, but would it ever be worthwhile to acquire up a YC carcass for $1000, none of the original founding team, and buy your way in to the YC network?

(Yes, I could always apply to YC, but getting in is like getting your straight-B's nonathletic non legacy kid into Stanford: possible in theory but not even worth attempting given the odds).

You could turn anything into a moral obligation, eg. I have a moral obligation not to eat pasta because there is less environmentally damaging food available and it's also probably doing some non-zero amount of harm to my body compared to something healthier so since I may feel a tiny bit worse therefore I'll have less potential energy to help someone in need or have a lower probability of assisting a disabled person when I next encounter one. So let's not play that game.
I'm not British, so I have no real horse in this race. I'm generally in favor of Brexit, and think that long-term it will benefit the UK far more than it will hurt them short-term.

That said, I don't think it's "undemocratic" to hold a second referendum. Parliament is clearly not on board with the whole idea, and the EU isn't really inclined to make a graceful transition. So let the voters make another statement, given what we now know.

If Brexit carries the day again, then Parliament will hopefully become a little more flexible, and the EU, for fear of alienating an important trading partner, will likely stop with the game of chicken as well.

And if Brexit loses then everyone can kiss and make up, with the new knowledge that actually pulling off an exit from the EU is harder technically and the full implications are more daunting than the voters anticipated.
Resident of Amsterdam here, any policy the city is going to come up with is realistically speaking only re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic at this point. Some systemic issues:

1) Building new & building up is mostly politically impossible. A large part of the city is effectively a historic open-air museum. Supply is always going to be squeezed.

2) The rent controlled market is huge in The Netherlands and disproportionately big in Amsterdam compared to the rest of the country.

This puts off #1 because low-income people have an out, but squeezes prices on the middle and upper-end, and creates generational special-interests groups (there's decade-long waiting periods, people pass off such properties to immediate family etc.).

Most of the profit construction companies make on (highly regulated) new construction is reportedly on the relatively small proportion of apartments they're allowed to sell for a high price on the free market. The rest is on the mandatory public housing market from day one.

3) A further squeeze on non-rent controlled properties is created because some of those only escape that "market" by having a bunch of "points" that are calculated as a function of size, amenities etc.: [A] & [B].

This creates all sorts of absurd situations. E.g. having a sink on some random wall in the middle of a bedroom purely because it (along with other crazy point hacking) brought the property just over the point limit.

4) (Re-)zoning of properties that do exist is relatively restricted and centrally micro-managed.

5) Interest rates have been dropping for years, leading to inflated property prices. It's relatively easy to get sub-2% loans, even as low as 1.5%.

So instead you advocate we don't get what we want because all decisions are meant to be final?

I use Teams with one of my customers and Slack for most of my customers. I personally prefer Slack but Teams seems to get better day by day. Teams has threads down better than slack which can make it more advantageous. I think slack is better when it comes to being involved in different projects with different customers. I also prefer the ease of onboarding people to slack.
I think the biggest difference between today and 20 years ago when I first go into Silicon Valley is that most founders are generally already planning their exit. There are a lot of startups whose mentality is "get big quick enough so that we can get bought out by Google/Facebook/Amazon/etc". And unfortunately this is a legitimate play because it leads to quick payouts so it motivates founders and VCs alike.

It's a fair mentality but it changes the nature of the game because most founders back in the 20th century wanted to helm their company until their last dying breath. So the fact that this person is already targeting a $50M exit makes it less interesting to me. I just don't think I would get excited working for someone I know with that short term of a mentality.
Maybe, but not in all environments. It would be interesting to update these for the VC economy.
Reminds me of the Apollo 13 movie where the guy puts a note on the instrumentation panel that just says "No!", because the switch jettisons the LEM from the CM.
My handwriting is also awful, but what the parent suggested isn't at all incompatible with taking typed notes: I would type a first draft while reading the material before lecture, add during the lecture, then finish the final draft afterwards. I regret I didn't learn this method of note-taking earlier, and it works for both hand-written and typed. It also doesn't take that much time, but the last step of reviewing and cleanup is critical for actually cementing my understanding of the material.

Another possible method would be taking written notes during lectures, then typesetting them afterwards. However, I found it was preferable to revise my notes soon after the lecture, at least 1-2 days following, while my memory was still fresh.

I agree to a point, but I think it goes too far at times, mostly when it comes to making _all_ images/video accessible. I can't imagine YouTube would exist if it had to have captioning for every single video to begin with, for example. (Now they auto-generate, but I don't think even today your average independent web dev could make their own videos do that, pretty sure YouTube needed a huge corpus of content to start with to develop it. And even with auto generated subs, any video that's mostly things happening without words is "dark" to a blind person.)
But it is decentralized.
Sure, you can create a currency which can have bail outs by having a magic private key for yourself, just like how central banks work right now.

Good luck getting other people to use that currency though :)
I haven't had any HiDPI issues -- the WQHD (2560x1440) display is quite usable at both 100% and 200% scaling.

I've tried laptops with 4K displays and this is a far better experience, basically on par with my rMBP.

It's also matte, my preference as I do a lot of work in coffee houses where I have limited control over lighting.

My external monitors are 4K, and I almost always run them at 200% scaling.

The only fix I had to make was to add a HiDPI flag for Spotify, but that might not even be necessary anymore

No complaints with this setup whatsoever!

I have noticed very, very few essential websites (like banking, University, Government sites, ...) breaking when using the standard lists of uBlock origin.

Sites that break are almost always fishy.

But I have started telling people that, when a site is not working properly, they may be able to fix it by clicking the shield button and then the big power button to turn the blocker off. That's usually enough.

You are being a bit over-dramatic here I think. Most younger people are smart enough to try a different approach (eg using the phone or tablet instead).

Even "real" truffle oil (or butter or some other fat) need not contain real truffles. It's quite easy to infuse fats with truffle aroma. If you put truffles and a fat (with sufficient surface area in contact with the air) in an enclosed place like under a bowl in a refrigerator, you will get a very significant truffle aroma/flavor in the fat.

I've done this with Oregon white truffles (tuber oregonense) that I harvested with the help of my dog. Kept the butter frozen for over a year, and it still had the truffle aroma when I pulled it out of the freezer.

I actually think the infusion method adds a lot more flavor/aroma than adding pieces of truffle, but the pieces are clear evidence that what you bought actually came in contact with real truffles--it's pretty much just marketing.

Presumably you're referring to Lithium or Cobalt - but the supply of these resources really isnt an issue (at worst, it's an issue of timing). Lithium mines in North America are beginning to reopen [1]. Cobalt is a bit trickier, because it's produced as a byproduct - but Panasonic already has cells working at R&D with dramatically less cobalt [2].

At some point if you need that kind of things just pickup a language that does it out of the box.
Can someone elaborate on this? It makes no sense to me:

The risk profile of your company increases dramatically when you take VC funding. You start spending more money than you are earning, your focus shifts to raising your next round, and your VC now has veto authority over the sale of your company. Your company is now a ticking time-bomb.

You can literally NOT do those things. All the VC has is signaling. Theh can’t block your future raises, only have drag/tag along rights, first refusal or whatever.
