Two long established predecessors to this: Sir Trevor JS[0] and Colonel Kurtz [1].

I've used Kurtz extensively and it's been brilliant. The only downside of all these block-based editors is that you can't easily create layouts where images float to the left or right of text. Well, you can create them but you don't get a WYSIWYG idea of what it looks like right in the editor. I can live with that!

I've explored all sorts of editors and Colonel Kurtz is the one that's worked best: Trix, Draft, TinyMCE, CKEditor, ContentEditable, ProseMirror - just off the top of my head.

> On numerous occasions companies have shipped me "fuck you" instead of what I paid for and Amazon won't deal with that.

What? I've never once had a problem with an Amazon return. You click "return this item", choose the return method (their newer "Locker" thing around the corner is pretty convenient) and that's all that needs to happen.

I mean... there's lots to complain about with Amazon, as there is for any big company. But customer service just isn't one of them as I see it.

What has your experience been that you think Amazon "doesn't deal with" returns?
If you read my post I was only explaining how the OP didn't actually know the things he was claiming. We just don't know how much inherent instability there is in the airframe that then needs to be fixed by fly-by-wire. It's surely not F-16 level but there is clearly a flight regime where things get hairy. The point is we don't know. The OP was claiming everything was fine on the instability issue without knowing how much there is and how much actually exists in common airliner designs.

Or perhaps the smart ones that wish to do harm don't intend to do it on such a small scale as publishing the location data of a couple of individuals who are of relatively little consequence. It's a dangerous idea to assume that all those who are malicious are not intelligent.
To expand on this further, anxiety itself isn't a bad thing, as long as it has a good reason and is in a reasonable amount. People with an anxiety disorder feel far too much anxiety to the point is harms them. An autistic person who experiences anxiety about a social situation isn't experiencing extra anxiety because they experience too much anxiety compared to the average person, but because their relationship with social situations, due to their autism, has given them valid reasons for having more anxiety than the average person. Their anxiety is valid, thus fixing it by trying to treat it as stemming from a source giving them too much anxiety is fixing the symptom instead of the problem.

It's the difference between someone with arachnophobia fearing a toy spider like it was a real danger and someone who is susceptible to black widow poisoning fearing a black widow because it is a greater danger to them.

A Spectre Retrospective – Part 1: Build a Feature or an App?
Poison you?
It's self sufficiency I want for our family, and those features discourage that. My kids' schools don't teach them many things anymore, including reading an analog clock. I'd rather my children know how to buy a map at a gas station and read it to get where they want to go, or do most simple math in their head instead of using a calculator. Alarms are built into most clocks made today, even (perfectly good) ones you can buy for $3 at a thrift store, and most microwaves have timer features. Using an app for ride sharing discourages phone (or text) conversations that are naturally able to lead to many unexpected places.

At the end of the day, I look at it this way: I'm able to live a full and happy life without a smart phone, the only thing I'm missing is the ability to call someone. That's where a phone comes in handy.
It’s very rare. I’ll bet you can’t name a single show that Netflix produces. Remember all those big name shows are produced by other people and then sold exclusively to Netflix.

DRM does not benefit Netflix. It’s complicated and takes a lot of resources to run. They’d much rather not have to deal with it at all. Having DRM does not gain them any customers — in fact it loses them some. But it’s the only way they can get content.
Advertising is not evil, but I prefer business models that involve me giving companies my money and them giving me stuff.
Wrong, the flight preceeding the Lion Air crash had the same issue, and the pilots managed it, by switching off the stab trim system as per the runaway trim checklist.
Fair enough. I guess that part is down to definition of “ultraviolet”. The wavelengths called “UV-A” are slightly visible to some human observers.

@intelliderp you got buried. I'd love to see links to such anti-union hn discussions. I kinda get that HN is very capitalistic and unions check reckless capitalism. But at the same time HN is very dev focused and unions promise larger benefits/money to devs.

I'll go on the record saying I'm pro dev union. Even if its just a glorified professional organization. I'd love to hear the holes in the argument.

The corporations are financially motivated to prevent unionization. If you want a piece of the future you have to be just as savvy.

One tricky bit is if unionizing just causes a massive exodus of development to offshore. Thoughts on that?

It was the same thing on private BBS systems. There were a bunch of applications and scripts that basically let you go online, do your business as quickly as possible, and hang up. I remember I primarily used a system running PCBoard and Qmail was the software that let you do most things offline.

I’m curious why there is an even number of cents requirement on stripe’s end?

I’m also not a fan of the quantity 1 line item rollup, although I understand the workaround. For the customer receiving the invoice, it makes it harder to breakdown the invoice in an automated way, since the detail info is moved to a text block.
Same, sometimes pen and paper is just better for my needs. I keep flirting with digital pens. The idea is awesome, you write with a pen on paper and it's automatically digitized and backed up. (There's special markings on the paper to help the digitizer). In practice there's been some glitches, but in the worst case it's still paper and ink.

I tried a Livescribe Echo pen for awhile. It always felt kinda bulky in the hand, and there were some glitches. It also had audio recording, and probably the best feature was you could point at your writing and it would fast-fwd/rewind the audio to the moment in time that you wrote that word. Great for filling in gaps when taking notes. Livescribe tried to integrate with Evernote at some point. Seemed like a great idea, but either Evernote or Livescribe failed terribly on that integration. Lost functionality from the stand alone Livescribe app, and never gained the functionality of Evernote. Ultimately my pen fell prey to a failed OLED problem that many of those pens had.

Recently trying again with a Neo Smartpen. The first one had a firmware bug and after a few days it couldn't re-charge anymore. Customer service replaced it, and replacement seems fine. This pen feels much more like a regular pen. Power on/off is triggered by removing/replacing the pen cap, so I barely even notice it's not a normal pen. Digitizing quality has been solid. Not as many features as the Livescribe had, but the transcribing quality (OCR) is much better. (Of course, I'm comparing a brand-new Neo to a previous-gen Livescribe. Could be cool to check out the new version of Livescribe, too)

I would rather use Publisher-Subscriber pattern here. Everytime i want to "log", i'll send a "log" event. Publisher doesn't care it'll send to whom, because it's not its responsibility.

> Umm... expecting any kind of response from a vendor with such a large percentage of the market is... kinda arrogant.

How is expecting a response in less than 4 months arrogant? If anything, the OP has been extremely patient.

> Thinking that Google should kowtow to your desire to build a product is pretty foolish.

Is open and fair competition in the marketplace also foolish? Regardless of what current regulations are, I wouldn't describe open DRM as "kowtowing" to a competitor -- if we value open and fair marketplace competition, then DRM ought to be open.

> Who are you to demand any kind of response from anyone? Big project or small? You'd probably be less offended if you had a better sense of self awareness about the nature of your relationship with Google.

Your response seems to suggest that the OP should happily grovel at the feet of Google and be ever so thankful if Google manages to find the time to make a reply.

If Google wants to be a gatekeeper for DRM, then that's not how things should work.
Yellows have been shortened on purpose to raise revenues from tickets. If cities cared about accidents and congestion, we'd have less lights and more traffic circles, but that means less tickets and more thought and effort than lowering the yellow light time.

Of course, but it’s not fixing aerodynamic instability.
You'll note I said 'aircraft' versus 'flight'. That particular aircraft is no longer in service because it was destroyed in a catastrophic crash caused directly by the faulty MCAS system.

At first, everyone asserted it was 'faulty sensor reading,' but later it came out that there's also faulty programming and the MCAS system has way more authority than originally specified to the FAA.
More knowledge is always better, but percentiles are a little misleading as well - the 99% at 867 ms latency makes you have a moment of panic, but when you see that 95% is 60 ms, then you really realize how few of your visitors are experiencing the slow response. Might it be a problem? Possibly, and I has brought awareness to that potential, but it also has the possibility to blow it out of proportion if you don't look at the rest of the data.

Edit: I'm not saying Averages are better, but that Percentiles can be misleading as well.

Also, bootleggers who made money by smuggling stuff for cheap and selling it right below the full tariff price and weren't happy about the British ending their tariffs and making them lose money.

Also, the whole trial by jury of peers was really great for those like John Hancock (the guy who signed his name really big on the Constitution) who got in trouble with the British for smuggling and then would be invariably found not guilty by his employees. When military trials came into place, Hancock and his distributor buddies started getting jail time.

Also, by the way, Hancock shipping basically had a mob, who were responsible for a bunch of the rioting in Boston and likely the related Tea Party.

Just wanted to point out that America wasn't exactly formed out of ideology.

By the way- that big signature? Essentially the largest political middle finger ever.
Probably also explains why their messaging strategy is completely incomprehensible too. I still have no idea what apps do what, which ones provide video or audio or text or both.

Closed systems don't exist in reality either. You can try to shield from radiation including cosmic microwave background but you can't from gravity.

Research on closed systems is often directly applicable and therefore interesting. In some cases the externalities are sufficiently small, in others they're fast and the systems is essentially closed between them happening.
Well Objective C was always touted as a superset of C, any valid C program is a valid Objective-C program, the same with Typescript and Javascript.

So I guess it depends on your usage of variant, does that include strict supersets?

The examples are interesting in that why is it the Shopping carts responsibility to report the results of the discountService?? If the metrics have to be surfaced, someone, somewhere needs to surface them: and I've been finding it achieves the cleanliness and doesn't break encapsulation when the service (discountService) is responsible for its own hooks, or monitoring adapter. Like mlthoughts2018 i've been finding success using decorators for this because it keeps the domain logic clean of metric/monitoring code:

(shameless plug i recently wrote about how decorators can be used to keep the domain metric/plumbing free)

https://medium.com/dm03514-tech-blog/designpatterns-consider...

(also just disclaimer: Team's i've been on have had lots of success using the approach outlined in the article, injecting a metrics/instrumentation object, it cleans up the domain logic, is easy to provide a stub implementation during tests, and abstracts the from metric implementations.

------

A decorator version might compose the production code by wrapping the domain logic in metric adapters:

metrics = InstantiateMetricsClient()

ObservableShoppingCart(
ShoppingCart(
ObservableDiscountService(
DiscountService(

),
metrics=metrics,
)
)
metrics=metrics,
)

----

Another option that I've seen be used successfully is to completely decouple domain events and the surfacing of domain events by having the domain generically emit events, and the logging/metrics subscribe and surface those however it decides.

----

I feel like for normal logging statements and metrics it only borders on being an issue, but when metrics include many timing wrappers, or when tracing (which involves much more reporting) is involved explicit adapters help to really keep things clean.
This can be explained by the incredible applicability (and thus demand from business and opportunity creation). We literally had nothing alike before and then suddenly we could do so much more.
If you want another, I ran across https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6492781 last night. A U.S. Marine encounters a serial killer who specializes in killing Marines. Unexpected twist: the author himself posted the story and commented in the thread.

Pretty sure I never saw that submission at the time. I am tempted to add it to the next HN 'highlights' list, but I suppose it's too morbid.
Haven't used Feedly, but I was a hardcore Google Reader user, and I _love_ BazQux Reader. It does exactly what I need - shows RSS, has APIs that allow mobile apps to hook in, is fast, and it _just works_. Totally worth the $20/yr, and I'm amazed more folks don't talk about it.

> the difference between men and women on most metrics

I think that's the problem part of your argument. There's no qualification of what "most metrics" includes, much less whether that holds true for must neurological effects (which is more to the point), and that's before we even get around to discussing the fact that I'm sure there's a bunch of metrics we don't even know about.

Your statement might be entirely true. Unfortunately I don't know enough to judge the claims in it, I don't even know if we're at a level where we can judge the claims, and regardless you didn't provide any evidence to support it or help with that in any way. I'm not sure how it brings us any closer to an understanding of the issue.

Really? Because from the citations I've given, it looks like a lot was said.

Because it was uneventful. It was a universally reviled thing that got banned, and rightfully so. There doesn't have to be "another side" to a story when that "other side" is filled with nothing but hate.
That's ridiculous. Parliament is not a think-tank. You come in to a session already knowing how you're going to vote - or, if you're lazy or there's a voting discipline in your party, you consult the party guidelines.

Easiest Way to Create Free SSL Certificate from Let's Encrypt
While the same checklist fixes both runaway trim and faulty MCAS, pilots haven't been trained to recognize MCAS problems.

The two problems present themselves differently enough that it's confusing pilots (runaway trim is continuous trim movement. MCAS is 5 seconds on, 10 second off).

This is a systematic training issue. Pilots have been trained to recognize runaway trim but not faulty MCAS.

The only real solution is extensive simulator training until pilots reliably diagnose MCAS activations and start the correct checklist, something which Boeing and airlines don't want to pay for.

> I'm not sure what you mean with "socially left-wing".

They're pro choice, pro LGBTQ etc. but also very much pro things like privatization.

As for "Is that something that doesn't cost money?" - that's a childish question that is almost not worth answering. Maintaining a functioning society always costs money, there's infrastructure & services to maintain.

Taxes are going to get collected, so for me the only real question is if they're going to be spent on moving the country forward, supporting those in need of support and improving services, (healthcare etc.) & infrastructure, (bridges, roads...), making sure publicly funded research stays public, going after corporate tax evasion and so on... or if they're going to be spent on bloated military contracts etc.

Sadly, the supposed left-wing in most of Europe today is not focusing on healthcare, infrastructure etc. in a major way and thus the distinction between them and the right seems rather thin. They're both fairly pro-corporate, thus the main distinction is the social politics, which rarely address people's economic concerns.

As for big state, I don't know, Mariano Rajoy, a right-winger was willing to send "the State" to violently suppress an independence referendum. Not sure how that squares with you.
Poland is an EU member, so your government must have some implementation of the EU Copyright directive, which includes somewhat similar anti-circumvention clauses as the DMCA[0].

I'm pretty sure that Firefox has a license to do so, but someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

Thank you for sharing that interesting insight.
Promotion means you get promoted to a higher level within Google[1]. This typically means you get more money[2], better opportunities, and more visibility.

People often do change jobs within Google/Alphabet after getting promoted. It's a signal that you're doing a good job, as verified by a promotion committee, and hiring managers will often look at a recent promotion as a signal that someone is a high-performer. But there are lots of folks who don't change jobs after a promotion (especially if you're happy with what you're doing) - it's an opportunity to keep doing what you're doing, just more of the same, with official recognition that you've been doing a good job.

1. Level 3 = SWE I - New Grad (Bachelors/Masters). Level 4 = SWE II (Newly minted PhDs start here). Level 5 = Senior SWE. Level 6 = Staff SWE. Level 7 = Senior Staff SWE. Level 8 = Principal SWE / Director.

2. This is not strictly true; a high-performer at Level N may make just as much as a low- or average-performer at Level N+1. But in practice you start to hit salary caps, and sustaining very high performance at Level N may be more difficult than sustaining average performance at Level N+1.
