Works well nearly as well as in person. But I do notice how its easier to explain things to non-technical departments when I am onsite.

Call-centers are another industry that can be entirely remote.
It's a bit worse than it seems, because lunch breaks are not included, so whereas an American would call his 9-to-5 job a 40 hour work week, it would be equivalent to a 35 hour Brazilian work week. A Brazilian work day is usually 8h30 to 18h18 so that 44h will fit into 5 days. You can see how adding a commute of at least and hour (could easily be 2h or 3h in São Paulo or Rio) will simply eat up your whole day.

I think a reduction of the 44h week is long due in Brazil and I don't understand why there isn't more pressure from workers. They probably don't have the time to protest.

If it as OP says, the opposite would be true. Either moderate and risk liability. Or allow anything and get indemnity.
Thanks for the clarification. I think the wording can be much more clear and neutral.

As a sidenote, I guess it's just a sad reality that 'automatic updates' are phrased as necessary for safety on a car... this implies Tesla originally shipped a broken / dangerous system (or at least a high enough chance of that to include this language).

I love RSS, and have for years. My first blog post ever was about RSS: http://www.mooreds.com/wordpress/archives/4 . I recently wrote that new developers should use RSS: https://letterstoanewdeveloper.com/2019/03/25/use-an-rss-rea...

But reading through the post and the comments here, I'm sensing an omission. What Twitter (and social media in general) provides that RSS doesn't is interaction. I don't login to twitter all that often, but when I do, I see things like this: https://twitter.com/mikekarnj/status/1106582308235235330 and this: https://twitter.com/lpolovets/status/1106812630985928704

I doubt I'd be privy to the discussions happening on Twitter if they were happening any other way (blogs tried to do it with comments and pingbacks, but that isn't as good as Twitter, and not as open to everyone, since you have to run a blog of your own).

This is the secret sauce for me. In fact, if there were a way to only see conversations in Twitter (and ignore all the posts with no responses) that would have a lot of value for me.

RSS is great for reading, but for conversing, it's not a good fit.
I live in Tasmania.

Fortunately, Tasmanian Devils are very easy to breed in captivity, and there’s at least a handful of sanctuaries open to the public that have breeding programs, and rehabilitation services that cater to for injured Devils.

So it looks like the Tasmanian Devil will continue on.

You can usually click the link to the article which opens it in the browser (if the feed reader itself isn't in the browser to begin with), and if you're logged in to that site (or the commenting system or ID provider they use) you can comment right away.

As for displaying comments along with articles, feeds can reference other feeds, and in theory nothing stops an application or website from from making use of that.

That sounds great! But it's not open source. Debian, Fedora, etc. by policy do not want to prevent use of their software on military drones or by companies that work their employees to death. You will not convince them to change that policy. Therefore, you need to decide which of those two desires is more important to you: is it more valuable to have people be able to apt install / dnf install your software at the cost of letting it be usable by the military and exploitative employers?

It's totally legitimate to decide no, I care more about restricting use of my software, so I'll make packages (or a curl | sh script, or whatever) available on my website and guide people to do that. By all means, go do that, if that's what you want to do.

(If your'e actually considering doing this, I would like to try to convince you that a software license is the wrong tool for the job, here. But reasonable people can disagree on whether that's true.)
In the context of dinosaurs, that’s a ludicrous argument. The entire field was born of the hype and public thirst for information on the topic.

I am currently working in a ROWE (results only work environment). I have a similar schedule. I get way more done and have way more ideas. It's almost as if "gasp" letting people design their own work process makes them more effective!

Not just Sad but also self-imposed. If outside investors and outside countries were buying up all our jeans, cars, tvs and junk foods, we'd be celebrating it all day long. in fact, we even blame other countries for not buying enough of our stuff (balance of trade debate).

And yet, when it comes to real estate we act like we can't make more of it. The vast majority of land out there is still unbuilt. Simply start another city, say 50 miles away or more if need be and then create incentives for companies to move there. We'll have more jobs, much cheaper housing, an opportunity to build a brand new city with the latest technologies, parks, outdoor gyms, libraries, etc, not to mention it'll bring housing costs down in prior city too.

Two questions:

(1) Why does the logo for Librefox look like a flatter, less colorful version of the Chrome logo?

Edit: Apparently (from a sibling comment) it's actually the AppVeyor logo. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppVeyor. Why?

(2) How can this be a valid claim: "Librefox is NOT associated with Mozilla or its products." It's obviously associated with one of Mozilla's products -- Firefox. What distinction am I missing here?
> In the right timeline, a deeply flawed language like JavaScript would never have been successful

but in that same timeline, we had Java, which was touted to solve all of those problems, vs Javascript which was touted to add slight interactivity. We took a step sideways, instead, with Java offering a lousy user experience for what it promised, and Javascript getting progressively better, while promising nothing in the early days.

The other competitor, Flash, ended up flawed in its own right.

And here we are.

The only way this wouldn't work is if there is a smell your body makes that never leaves your body. But otherwise it seems pretty reasonable that you could read offgassing as a way of detecting underlying effects.

I'm right there with you though, I bet the tricorder has a nose not a eye.
Nitpick, but calling it out as clients sometimes do the same thing as they see the math repeated.

The back of the napkin $100 x 40 x 50 == $200k w2 salary is misleading. Aside from self employment tax, needed liability insurance, no health insurance subsidy, no 401k match, etc...depending on location, you can also be subject to franchise taxes, etc. And most people making $200k as a salary don't work 50 weeks a year.

The health insurance subsidies alone, at a good company, are often worth $12k+/year, for example.
Generally that depends on how many 'strict' compiler options you enable -- and whether you consider legitimate type errors a reasonable reason to not 'just run' your code :)

An example would be that classes that don't explicitly declare their fields will throw a type error when their fields are mutated (eg. `this.foo = 123`).
Might not be the fault of humans in this case. The Wikipedia article [0] gives some interesting context, and suggests that the cancer is spread through allograft (i.e. a form of direct transfer of the cancer from one individual to another). It also reports that "The devils have, in a way, fought back the extinction by developing the gene that is immune to face tumors" - a positive development in the long run.

RSS is just a way to list the last articles of a website in a generic way.

It is very far from what Twitter offers, on Twitter you can exchange with people, reply and discuss content (yeah this is not the best way to do it, but you can do it), you can alert people or organization (how many time, thanks to RSS we alerted a company about a bad practice or contacted their customer support ?)

Maybe Twitter is not the best at what it does, and maybe we need something that allow to us to exchange but RSS doesn't provide that.

PS: I'm not saying RSS is bad

The pre-74 AKs fired a full-caliber, but half-length, intermediate cartridge, the 7.62x39mm. This was easier to manufacture on existing pistol round tooling than a SCHV round.

The 7.62mm NATO cartridge you're thinking of is 7.62x51mm, and fires a 25% heavier bullet at 18% higher velocity, for 66% more total kinetic energy than the early AK round. And the Soviet full-power round that the 7.62x39 replaced, the 7.62x54mmR, is even larger.

Still open source, but I guess you think Debian, Fedora, etc. are willing to ignore a lot of new open source software with more restrictive licenses and sacrifice some or a lot of their user base in favor of more full featured distros. I don't think this is going to happen. They will change policies and accept the new world.

You have no proof of this. The (x times y) work week for manual labourers was earned by a long history of labour activism.

That’s true, but not on all surfaces. The back side of solar panels for example don’t receive direct sunlight. But, even a bolt will provide plenty of shade for bacteria. Plenty of nooks and crannies to go around. Space qualified lubricants can even provide a growth medium.

Anyway, my original point was more in line with this. “Our results predict that most terrestrial bacteria would be inactivated within the first [day] on Mars if contaminated spacecraft surfaces receive direct sunlight.” And remember Mars gets far less sunlight than earth.
I completely understand and respect the author's sentiments. However, it is unfair to compare RSS to Twitter. Twitter is a place where anyone and everyone can express their opinions while RSS is a technology and a mechanism to get an updated feed from services and blogs we care about. Most of these blobs and services will be well written or perhaps professionally written articles. These are two very different systems that tap into fundamentally different types of information sources.

In short, RSS is a feed of (mostly) professionally written articles while Twitter is full of amateurs expressing half baked thoughts in 140 characters. It is unfair to compare the two.
Is there a difference? A lot of people would only want to visit in NY or SF but plenty others would happily live their whole lives there. The existence of a vibrant culture should tell you that some people do like living there (otherwise the culture wouldn't exist).
I switched my neovim setup from ale and deoplete to coc.nvim a few months ago, and am thrilled about finally being able to write also all my java with neovim. There are a few rough edges, and of course java features are miles behind IntelliJ, but the benefit of being able to use one editor to rule them all, is a massive productivity boost. Don't think I'll switch back. Also Typescript with a language server is working really well.
the question is never to beat those more gifted, and always how to approach their level. They serve as a pointer to the right direction, not as a realistic goal
The Vancouver voters elected the NDP government in the last election who have brought in a Vacant Home Tax, a Foreign Speculator Tax and a School Tax on homes over $3 million. And hopefully they will investigate the money laundering through the casinos.

But if you are doing yet another software as a service CRUD app, or some bespoke app that no one outside of the company will ever see, how relevant are “abstract concepts” as opposed to just sitting some one down to an IDE with a skeletal non working class with failing unit tests and telling them to modify the code to make the tests pass as a pair programming session?

The first time I encountered an interview test like that, was for a company that had a SAAS for railroad car repairs. The coding itself wasn’t that complicated in an abstract way, but the business requirements were insanely complex.

This is just a preview. Going down the rabbit hole of rules around railroads is like going to a tvtropes article.

Basically what I'm saying is that most environments where cussing isn't allowed are diseased. Also, I failed to mention that I don't mean negative or angry cussing at all, only positive that leads to laughter, awe, inspiration, feelings of pride, satisfaction, and so on. So somebody berating someone is not what I had in mind.
Consider me skeptical. This may describe one class or even one specific cancer, but even with relation to this it sounds very dubious. Do you have reputable citations you could provide?

There's no good reason for it.

It's also a good demonstration that common conceptions, even serious and derisive ones, rely on media and hearsay, not on fact.
I wish there was pushback against the notion of "hoping" and "wishing" for companies to do the right thing. Companies should be more afraid of the ire of informed customers informing other customers, than of competition, that's the delusion I live in... they should worry about having done too little, too late, instead of us always keeping an ever slimmer hope for ever smaller breadcrumbs alive.

This works really good for TS compared to anything else I've tried. I don't think this is as flexible as some of the alternatives, this one is a bit weird compared to many other vim plugins that I'm used to, but it works pretty much out of the box.

Important to point out that the reason S230 is being modified is because children who were kidnapped and drugged and raped were being advertised for rape in Backpage, and Backpage:-

1) refused to do anything at all to to remove the images of these children being raped

2) refused to do anything to prevent the ads being placed

3) gave advice to the advertisers about how to continue placing the ads while evading law enforcement

4) claimed to be coopoerating with law enforcement while actively making it harder for law enforcement to trace the people placing these ads

I routinely inspect the source of popular websites and rarely see React being used. The bulk of React coding is just tech bloggers showing off to their coder pals and otherwise trying to impress each other. jQuery however is everywhere but apparently 'dying out' and being replaced with Vue (which again is a rarity to see in the wild).
Not just paying interest, actually paying whole mortgages for other people. Since the financial crisis of 2007 it's unrealistic for most young people to save to pay a deposit on their own mortgage. Where I live they want about 5 years of gross minimum wage just to take out a mortgage.
It has less to do with FP or Lisp and more to do a lack of emphasis for rapid development and a significant impedance mismatch with the rest of the ecosystem. JVM interoperability works when the API is clean. It doesn't when obscure OOP features are used three layers deep and have to be mapped into Clojure which is more functional in nature.
I can’t think of a single semi mainstream language that doesn’t have some type of plug in for VSCode.

But we are talking about the return value. While because of the crazy way that you have to instantiate Boto 3 in Python, an IDE can’t give you intellicense and you have to look up the docs to know the arguments, you can still assign the response to a variable, put a breakpoint on the call and see the response.

Alternatively, you could use the REPL.
Maybe you wouldn't, but if you happen to be white, and taking an (inclusive, not race based) nationalist ideology, you can now conveniently be smeared by describing these two facts..

Oh her? don't listen to her, shes a 'white nationalist'.

Also, if, assuming this confusion to be true, having the term 'white nationalist' existing in the discourse as a negative, those who are not aware of the nuances between 'whites who happen to be nationalist' and 'those promoting a white nation' are pre-biased via faulty discourse to discount the words of 'whites who happen to be nationalist'.

Any popular terminology which deliberately overlooks subtlety and dismisses it when it is pointed out in the discourse is problematic. It's effectively a subtle smear campaign against the non-problematic nuances.

See also the strangely similar situation with the term 'skinhead' -

Initially this was a mostly apolitical working class subculture, most listened to soul music and smoked pot and listened to reggae, and many were apolitical or left/socialist leaning. Genearlly mildly populist, mostly white, but yes somewhat 'dangerous' in that it was a popular social movement of unconventional rowdy people of all stripes. (much like the 'disenfranchised trumpians' that the media is happy to highlight as contributing to the rise of the so-called 'white nationalism' we're talking about here)

Cue one politically motivated overtly racist subgroup acting up and stealing all the headlines,
and now the entire term/culture is essentially taboo..

One can argue that this group just got the press and 'messed up the term', but at some point editorial bias is a factor.

For god sakes this is 'hacker news' I shouldn't need to explain this.
> I think a reduction of the 44h week is long due in Brazil and I don't understand why there isn't more pressure from workers.

I found the expectations around what you're supposed to do during work hours to be very different between Brazil and US.

Extreme conditions obviously exist, (e.g. telemarketers, which are usually _continuously_ taking calls) but from my observation a significant portion of those 44 hours is spent idling or socializing.

I think proposing any change in work hours under the current political and socioeconomic climate (12% unemployment) wouldn't be feasible, and without the needed shift in work culture our productivity would probably fall further behind.
