I'm not sure. I've read that the Salvation Army has had an anti-LGBT internal culture in the past, even denying aid to people based on their orientation. The top of the organization appears to be trying to shed that image now, but it's unclear how fully behavior has changed.
> Butterick is discussing text, and text doesn't exist without typography (or handwriting).

That argument is essentially the empty tautology "you can't have text without writing." I don't agree with him, but I am not claiming that his argument is anything like that trite.

My opinion is that Butterick gives way too much significance to presentation. He writes "presentation matters specifically because it’s not meaningless", but it is extremely rare for it to significantly add to the meaning.
Maybe the first step would be to stop financially supporting proprietary software/hardware and buying DRM'd media.

When designing HyperStudio in 1988 and beyond, I had a similar philosophy, that the software tool should strive to be invisible to the tool. There was an occasion when we asked a user how they thought the interface could be improved, and they responded "what interface?". I don't presume that we were exceptional in achieving our goal, but we did try, and this article is an interesting support of that goal. I'm also reminded of what I read about Japanese art, what are the fewest lines needed to create the image and story?
I admit I've never had flafel - a quick google does make them look tasty. I'm going to definintly look into cooking some.
A "fully loaded and maxed out" NeXTStation Turbo was:

68040 at 33MHz

128MB RAM

4096 color, 1152x832 (or similar) display

that could do Display PostScript and had a relatively complete Unix subsystem under the covers.

The Turbo Cube (same CPU but with the 24/32 bit color NeXT display board) could do full color.

Current minimum specs to be happy on MacOS: dual core 2+ghz CPU, 8GB RAM, SSD drives

Failure or not of NeXT? Not sure.
Q: Who uses inheritance in C++, anymore?

A: Java coders.

Inheritance defines a mechanism that is sometimes useful. It is useless as an interface design tool.
That makes no sense. Roku was born out of Netflix. Why would they buy them now after making the decision years ago not to entire the consumer hardware market?
Epic game store is paying a lot for exclusives to compete with steam. We should see a jump in games piracy.
I endorse this: if devs use this my rewrite proxy that manages all my port 80 and 443 traffic can filter them out. If it's a weird blob of javascript I can't reliably do this.
Oh man. I hope he has a good family situation and great mentors in the programming communities so he can develop to his full potential.
All of these magazines are on the free version of Apple News, but I haven’t done a deep-dive into how much of their content is available, so I get it if the “full access” part is important to you. I do wonder how important this is to most people though.
> Can Apple please just relent and let Roku have an iTunes app?

They did. An app will be coming later this year for Roku, Amazon Fire TV and a bunch of smart TV platforms.
Please pardon my comment with limited background knowledge but are you sure that TVs, with their hardware designed to make you look from far are a good idea to keep close to your eyes?

Also, where do you get 39" 4K for $300!?
Yes, but the author wants to burn those movies into a really old format - DVD and then complaining that he/she can’t.

I am not defending the DRM bullshit, but this rant is making an analogy to formats and the whole discussion is framed incorrectly.

It bothers me when people title their post with a hook to lure you in but then you’re sorely disappointed that it’s not about what the title said. Click bait.

Edit: DVD burning is a hack to get around the fact that the car doesn’t have an HDMI port.
> I personally grow tired of eating such things after a while, but I don't think they are expensive/time-consuming and they do satisfy hunger.

"Satisfy hunger" does sound pretty basic though, doesn't it? I don't think the idea was "you can survive for a long time on this", but rather "this is tasty, ethical and nutritious, go try it".
Taxing the value of non-liquid or semi-liquid assets is extremely adverse. The "value" of these assets is notional only, disconnected from actual liquidation which may have a much lower value ipso facto, especially if liquidation is forced to pay the tax on the assets. Furthermore, it can put many people in the position of owing taxes for which there is no realistic source of income to pay (like the proverbial grandmother's house). And then there is the vicious downward spiral in valuations of liquid assets this can create, as assets are dumped to cover the tax liability. The US tax code is bad enough as it is when it comes to taxing unrealized gains, doubling down on that would be profoundly stupid and would make many tech startups impractical from a tax liability standpoint.

All of which ignores that one of the (multiple) important reasons longterm capital gains are not taxed like income is that those investments are adversely impacted by inflation, which is not deductible in the US. In many other countries that tax capital gains at income-like rates, the cost basis is inflation adjusted, which substantially reduces the amount of taxes actually paid on capital gains. Most countries deal with longterm inflation on capital gains either by allowing deduction of inflation or lowering capital gains tax rates to compensate (which is viewed as simpler to implement), but it would very poor policy to do neither.

tl;dr: This is not realistic tax policy. See also: Chesterton's Fence.
The title should be corrected: this proposal applies to unrealized gains.
> Debian/sid has its freeze phase

Correct me if I'm wrong (I don't think this would have changed), but Debian/testing has a freeze phase, and what you say is true about testing.

I don't recommend Debian/testing to anyone because the experience is not consistent, and it does not get fixed packages as fast as sid. (If a package is broken in testing, it's because it has somehow made it through the waiting period without anybody noticing that bugs were present. It may then likely remain broken until all the outstanding bugs are fixed and no new bugs are reported for something like two weeks, which is why it historically can sometimes get so bad as you suggest.) But sid never does have a freeze phase, it's always accepting packages.

As long as they don't have a bug reported against them in something like two weeks while they're sitting in experimental, or something? (It's been a while since I've reviewed the rules, and they might have changed since then.)

I think the bar to get your package accepted in sid is much lower than in testing. But there is still a bar, and that's why the quality is actually very consistently high.

(Maybe not as high as stable, but stable distros are for production systems, not for developer workstations IMHO.)

The only reason to use "testing" is if you yourself are a developer who is actually building software to release concurrently with (and run on) the next stable release.
The point system on HN is really a tally of how many ackchuallys the user has declared.
It’s a meaningless question to ask because the universe (according to the typical definition) encompasses all of space and time. It does not make sense to ask what came before/after it, and it does not make sense to ask what is outside the universe.

Despite the shrinking userbase Firefox is still quite a decently sized market.

With both Bing and Google still existing I don’t see why Mozilla wouldn’t continue being able to negotiate a good sized contract from one or the other for default search placements.
I don't disagree on "how it should be" but there are no mechanics to enforce anything other than popularity and you don't get popular by saying things that people don't want to hear. That's how we got our bubbles in social media anyway.

I guess if you still want to keep the democracy and have your 5G in Brussels you better convince enough Brusselians that the speed increase in networking is worth risking more cancer or that EM radiation definitely does not increase health risk.
Yes, I do. One, and she is old enough now. Even when she was little, I had free time.

> I agree. From what I gather the current administration does not agree. They get their stuff rammed through.

Well, give it a second look. Nothing weird is actually happening. People are just running around like headless chickens because they don't like the President, and to some degree that's fair enough, I don't like him either.

At least this time the President is not using the IRS to harass his political opponents.
That thing that interests me is that it is a clear market failure. 30 year bonds pay a higher interest rate than 5 year bonds. So one would think there is incentive to plan better for a building that lasts for 30 years. But we are changing the climate and other things with effects that will be felt long before 30 years. The U.S. Treasury does not offer bonds beyond 30 years, so presumably the entire system can't plan for a time horizon beyond that.
Preparing for Nab LV 2019 with a RaspBerry Pi, a Gemini PDA and Screenly OSE
Why would it be pointless? I’m not an economist but it seems like it would make investments generally less profitable, but I don’t see it eliminating profits. Further where would billionaires put their money instead? Is the idea that they are just going to buy art and yachts instead?
It appears to be the only notable player not owned by a competitor. I assume Netflix talks internally about whether that's an issue or not. Perhaps the market is different now than it was when you say they decided to forgo the space.
They did transition from selling DRM albums, to unencrypted music, so this does seem possible.
How will this impact retirement plans?

Unless I'm reading it wrong, the premise is that deferring taxation allows for wealth to grow "unfairly" and that the annual growth should be taxed annually. Wouldn't this decimate retirement funds, increasing the risk of investing in stocks and put even more pressure on Americans who already likely to outlive their retirement savings?

I know it talks about only taxing the 0.1% but that doesn't appear sound to me. I'm skeptical. I'd feel better if the proponents of this actually addressed the benefits of a lower capital gains tax and how their plan would maintain these benefits.
I really don't understand why everyone doesn't just offer all the movies all the time. These availability windows on shit is ridiculous. You wonder how pirates stay in business, it's because of availability windows and that region-locked bullshit.

The Wolf of Wall Street came out like 10 years ago, and you're telling me the only way to watch it is to buy it for $15 on Amazon? Keep dreaming.
Of course he's biased. He's writing to a progressive crowd. The big examples he gives of users of these tax schemes are the Trumps and the Kushners, as if they are part of some ultra-exclusive club. They're not.
> just let me control when the ads happen

That is exactly what would make YouTube ads useless, from the advertisers' perspective.

The key to "impressonability", from advertisers' PoV, is attention. You need to actually be looking at the ad. You don't have to think you're looking at the ad—you might think you're just looking at the "seconds until you can skip" timer—but you're looking (and listening) all the same, at least peripherally, and advertisers think that that's time they have power over you, in at least some subliminal sense.

But if you let users bunch up twenty ads in a row? They're going to queue them up and then go get a drink. The audience won't be looking; won't be listening. The ability to control ads inherently means the ability to ignore ads. Ignored ads aren't impressions.

The only valuable ad is an ad that sits on your attention stack on top of something that was getting your full attention, such that you have to (still with full attention) pop the ad from the stack to return your attention to the previous stack frame. Whether that's an ad in a newspaper between two columns where you have to pass "through" the ad content to find the next article; or an ad on YouTube where you have to wait; or a Google Sponsored link you have to read "past" to find the regular links; or a modal ad on a website that only appears five seconds after (the heuristic on the site says) you've started reading the content. The goal is to put the ad where your active attention is, such that the ad "impresses" upon your attention, however fleetingly. Anything else is a failed ad.

And yes, it's obnoxious. But that's... what advertising is. Those are the only ads that are really doing their job. The ads that don't end up on top of your attention stack? Subtract those from your perception of the field—they're just cargo-cult attempts to advertise that persist because it's really hard to measure the success of ad campaigns. What's left when you subtract those nice, unobtrusive ads, is what advertising as a field is really "about." It's what advertising would be, exclusively, if they got better at measuring things. And it's awful.
Two Layer Repositories in Spring
But this isn't worse. Roku and Fire TV are much cheaper than VHS and Betamax players were. And you can still stream all the services supported by these devices on/from your phone/laptop/tablet.
The best tool I've found for generating Postgres schema diagrams is Datagrip's diagram feature [2]. It's not without flaws and doesn't seem to get much love, but it also does a lot of things right: tables are arranged in a tree like fashion, where the most referenced tables end up on top. Right angled connectors look orderly even when 10 different tables reference one table (if we ignore the labels on the connectors). The color scheme is also quite nice if you leave datagrip in dark mode.

I use an ultrawide with a common-sized 1080p off to one side. Work gets done in two or three columns in the ultrawide. The smaller side monitor is for music, api docs, Slack and other background tasks.
That’s a huge issue where I live. It needs to be regulated otherwise it is chaos.
> "The whole team thought you were great. You were probably the strongest candidate overall, but we were looking for someone with experience in XYZ."

Wow, my GF just related this to me literally last week. She liked the team she interviewed with as well.

(I'm relieved actually as she got a job offer in hand for a place much closer to home).
Indeed.

My last name is not pronounced correctly by English speakers (even when they assume the name is French, which it isn't). Only twice has someone interviewing me gotten it correct, and in both cases it turns out they knew a distant relative of mine.

I only bother correcting people when we are going to have a lasting relationship. In an interview? We aren't there yet.

I have no idea how this would even play out for "Bob Anderson."

"When interviewing, I go for lunch with the candidate. I ask the waiter to subtly get their order wrong. A great test of the interviewee's character!"

Or the waiter's character.

"We always leave candidates waiting half an hour before calling them in. How do they cope with delays?"

I cope with delays of longer than 15 minutes by first trying to communicate about the delay and then by leaving. Dear recruiter, what do you think that says about me?

If I find out a recruiter has intentionally done any of these, the interview is over. I'm looking for a good fit. Duplicity, manipulation, lack of integrity... these are not qualities that ingratiate me to anyone.

Some people might say, "Well, yeah, but you can afford to do that. Not everyone can." But I did it when I couldn't afford to do it too. Perhaps not surprisingly, most of my employers have been awesome.
technically it wouldn't take much (or anything really) for people to transition to a v6 overlay network and get this back again.

but i'm afraid that the value of an intermediary-free internet isn't really perceptible enough to drive adoption, even if you made it completely painless.

I meet an awful lot of people, even in tech, that are surprised and shocked that you can use a computer thats not sitting right in front of you. or that two computers sitting next to each other can exchange data without using some third party service.

I don’t think that’s how an ETF works. I can’t buy into an ETF, realize gains, and then cash out tax free.

The part that is (and IMO, should be) tax free is that when the ETF swaps out components to maintain their ratio, they aren’t being taxed on it. If they were, it would just turn into a drag on the fund. It’s not like they’re using the ETF for HFT.
But that's rational isn't it? The expected outcome is much lower for someone from a working class background so play safe. You won't have access to connections or sound advice from mentors in the know. You're less likely to be going to a top school where you could 'get away with' a humanities degree.

Agree that I'd like to see more working class kids being ambitious and going for top schools, moving away from home etc but at least play safe and go for something with job prospects.
In Debian unstable, many of the packages are submitted from upstreams (eg. the folks that made the software.) The bar is simply "Debian developer" uploads the package, as I understand it. The Debian developer may or may not be the upstream source.

In Debian testing and stable, you're getting software that has been through a longer and involved peer review process by Debian maintainers. That's not ridiculous, that's why you would use a stable distro in the first place. Because it doesn't put so much trust in upstream vendors to always put out consistently good production-quality releases without adding any new bugs in them.

I don't recommend using stable distros for anything but production machines, and those you keep to approximate them (like say, staging machines).
The senate severely favors minority political views. The constitution grants many powers for individual senators and the senate as a whole to steer the government. So tax reform has been politically toxic for decades unless it’s tax cuts that get past that minority’s view. This is how the rich keep getting tax cuts.

As an aside, unified partisan power only occurs about once per generation per political party. Using that power typically results in destroying the concentration of power. And the US Congress has a two year cycle between elections with elections watering down much progress through the every other year political cycle. So effectively, unified party power has about 100 days of live once per generation. That’s becoming less and less capable of supporting substantial change. They’re basically only able to pass one big change in those 100 days. For the Ds, this change has to pass a significant portion of the Democrats- and they don’t vote as a bloc. They vote in relation to their representative bodies, which themselves vary significantly.
Same with "Organic Food" its a label to describe the way the food was grown as low impact on the environment. Some organic foods can have fewer chemicals, or better flavor, but that is a side effect.
This sounds very weird. It's OK if the user has consented to it, but this feels more like the company taking law in it's own hands. Hope it's a one off rather than becoming a norm.

Growing a single variety is likely too risky. While you may be able to minimize the risk with artificial watering, pest control etc, if it strikes, you'll end your company. Most companies don't aim for a series of all-or-nothing-bets even if the odds are in their favor on each one, they hedge their bets.
Neither is your willful ignorance. See how little that adds to a discussion? Either make the effort, or don't bother to comment.
Sounds like a good opportunity for AirBnB to standardize and develop a specific hardware implementation for this similar to Amazon's locks. My initial impression is that AirBnB wouldn't be interested in taking on that risk, but then again I'm surprised Amazon is willing to take it on since they have so much less to gain than something like AirBnB.

AirBnB is much more like the other sharing economy services, where the only thing they provide is the marketplace and connect the supply with demand, however this is an awfully low bar and therefore invites competition. My hope is that, gradually, these sort of companies will transition into more of a franchise / partnership model, where they provide more support for the suppliers. A standardized way to get access to the property is one simple example of a benefit to all parties.
I am interested in your definition of "proper" jobs after you exclude NHS nurses, cleaners and shop workers. You sound like a snob from that statement. Perhaps "well paid jobs" would have been a better way of phrasing it?

I always focus more on the "foundation" part, in this case, it's common React Hooks and its API for the components to use.

The good part is, if some hooks are wrong, we can just write new one and replace old ones within old components without the need of taking care of the old wrong Hooks.
