And also made many of us irrelevant. Most of the things I have build over my career have just moved to the cloud. Every company is now the same - glue cloud stuff together with Python/Java/Go whatever. 95% of work is now identical, which is why a company's actual business is increasingly irrelevant to me.
This: "Hello, <bold blue size=16>Nana C++ Library</>"
looks a bit strange.

Looks like XML but it is definitely not (the </> construct for example).

If the purpose is to provide inline styling then I would use something richtext alike:

"Hello, [B S16 C#00F]Nana C++ Library[bsc]"

But split on HTML (semantic, structure) and CSS (styling) is anyway better for many reasons.
Love the name! What’s the business model? Not very obvious from the website
That would be a lie though. Either that or your definition of "universal" doesn't include everyone.
When were leftists NOT protectionists? Protectionism is anti-liberal and anti-free-market? It was always left-wing.
That’s my point though. The moon hasn’t degraded and crashed into the earth so it’s clearly possible for a satellite to orbit the earth indefinitely - for some suitable definition of indefinite.
What's your opinion of Zirconium tooth replacements, as done by BioImplant (www.bioimplant.at)?

From my not-a-dentist :) perspective, the concept sounds workable.

eg creation of the 3D model from scans, using a CNC machine to create the object from Zirconium, etc.

But I've no idea what other parts would need evaluating to make real sense of it. :)
> Untie anything related to medical care from employment. By what measure is tying someone's ability to access healthcare to the beneficence of their employer remotely morally good? Someone has no employment (through whatever or no fault) and we decide that they are somehow fundamentally unworthy (or perhaps just 'less worthy'?) of access to health services?

Good comment a consultant we hired said. He and his wife had insurance for 25 years, then lost their jobs. Then his wife needed surgery.

It's a dick outcome when someone pays in for 25 years for a service and then gets denied because the economy tanked and they got laid off.

Venus makes much more sense in the comparison,
You want someone as equally as good as you who complements your skillset. I want someone different than you who renforces areas where you are weak so the product is stronger overall. Getting along is good overall but being able to debate from different perspectives is important.

What you think of the hire shouldn't matter because you are looking to perserve your place on the team and that taints your judgement. You shouldn't hire your own boss for similiar reasons. You should never hire your peer.

Tools looks great! I've added an issue here for openapi: https://github.com/boyney123/mockit/issues/5 . I have quite a few specifications in openapi v2 (swagger). It'd be helpful to support both v2 and v3 (as op requested) of the OpenAPI format.

Thanks!
Is it really better to split on semantic/structure and styling? Specifically, do we have evidence that that is the case? I know we certainly seem to like it. Quite often, any supposed advantages of it are never realized. And instead we grow into rather heavy solutions that are so painful to work with we reach for the next framework.
Not sure if you’re having a different experience than I am. I’m reading this on a 9.7” iPad in a restaurant and it seems fine, so perhaps we have different first impressions.

I’ve written hundreds of tech articles and dozens of manuals, and I’ll tell you that people don’t want to read. Everyone’s busy. They don’t want a lot of theory or talk about the author’s life. They just want to get the job done. To me this article delivers beautifully on its promise.
I just thought of that that argument only holds water if there wasn't exchange of genetic information between the planets. If during evolution cells and viruses get blasted from one planet to the other on a regular basis, that would not be a great argument.

It would have had to have been going on long before intelligence arose though, which is not impossible.
I never understood why the hiring process in IT is so tedious compared to let's say...construction work or driving?

Can you imagine that if on hiring a new truck driver the company was passing him trough 50 different routes on snow, ice and wet road. Or forcing a construction worker to build a house or something.

Yet if one of these two professions fucks it up - people might die, if a coder fucks up - he'll be fired and someone will remove 10 lines of code boo hooo.
I've been promised a job by the CEO after all the interviews and he reneged a few days later. Companies lie all the time like that. At least I got a nice trip to SF out of it, but I expect this to happen. I always set salary expectations beforehand but I'm not surprised if they are not met.
Hard facts on the differences between Instacart and Prime Now here in central Arizona right now as a consumer:

| Prime Now | Instacart |
|------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------|
| 2-4h Delivery | 5-6h Delivery |
| $5 mandatory fees | $10 mandatory fees |
| $5 tip suggested | $2 tip suggested |
| Extremely rare to not get what I ordered | Every order _at least_ 2 items cancelled |
| Consistent service level, professionals | Inconsistent service, literal kids helping parents deliver my groceries WTF |

Let's pretend both of these services screw over the driver, which one are you going to order from?

Now let's compare them from the perspective of working for them:

| Prime Now | Instacart |
|-----------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------|
| Accept 2-4hr work window on demand | Accept individual orders on demand |
| Guaranteed hourly wage $18 (good for Phoenix) | Paid per order only. $11/hr is reported average. |
| Tips contribute to base wage | "Tips are now totally separate" after public outcry |
| Almost always work windows available | Lack of orders makes most shoppers also Uber/Lyft |

Which one of these would you sign up to work for?

I get it -- service jobs suck, and putting tips towards base wage is stupid. But to say that both of these companies are doing the same thing is like saying "because you can't leave, prison in the U.S. and Norway are the same".

Outside major California cities and perhaps NY, Instacart _sucks_, badly, and does everything in its power to fuck over the employees that literally are operating its business.
You setup your startup in a state that does not allow non-compete agreements.
I don't think it's at all likely that life on Earth originated on Mars, but if it did then there could have been cross pollination of microorganisms over billions of years due to meteor impacts on both worlds throwing bits of crust into space. In fact if we do find life on Mars at some point it wouldn't be shocking if they are quite similar to bacteria found on Earth, since they might just be descendants of earth bacteria carried over from the impact that killed the dinosaurs.
It's possible that the kind of extraterrestrial beings that could do any form of FTL travel wouldn't even think in terms of "outposts" or "refuel." The task is so immense that any technology capable of doing it would belong to a society that would be gods to us. You're treating it like it would be them cruising route 66, but for them, it could be something like us browsing a web page or even just dreaming. I dream I want to be on earth, and here I am.

A lot of SF is really bad in they assume people will be the same and just drive to different galaxies instead of drive to different states. But the technology between the two is so huge that to get there would probably entail a whole host of things that would transform them into something above us as mayflies are to us. Not sure we'd even be able to tell if they left anything or even stopped by.
Thanks a lot, I never watched this, it’s absolutely awesome.

Allowing remote images to load allows for a tracking signal to be sent from the email client. Blocking images allows the user to choose whether that signal is sent.
There is so much to disagree with here, but #1 is the disparaging attitude towards manual labor.
I feel like it's high time for companies to consider posting salary ranges up front. It is understandable that salary will vary depending on experience, but when the offer can vary between companies by as much as 2-3x, it's a total waste of time for me (and for the prospective employer) to interview at companies which pay one third of what I'm making now. You could say there's Glassdoor and Blind, but both are pretty unreliable, albeit in different directions (Glassdoor usually shows too little, and on Blind people brag too much), and leave room for the kind of negotiation that assumes the hire is a sucker.

I sometimes get pings from Japanese and European recruiters, and it's not uncommon to see the ranges in those. They're usually pretty hilarious by US standards, though, so I politely decline without wasting anybody's time interviewing (even though I wouldn't mind spending a few years in Europe or Japan). At the very least, this is respectful of my time and effort.
My best reasoning for why we may conclude we’re the first civilization here is the brain sizes seen before us in the fossil record other biological features. You need big brains (in absolute volume), tool use, and culture forming. Of course, just a guess.

I will ask you anything then! Please tell me why I have to be sedated for everything. No amount of anesthetic ever works on me. Drilling always feels like a horrifying electric shock. And every time they touch my fillings with a metal probe, I get shocked too.

I’m not afraid of needles. I’ve had plenty of uncomfortable medical procedures. I can tolerate all other kinds of pain. But why doesn’t local anesthetic work on me for dentistry?
I bought an aftermarket webcam cover that slides open or closed. After a few days, I realized I was always checking to see that it was closed. I went back to using a piece of black electrical tape because that way I KNOW it's blocked without having to check. Besides which it's cheaper. Anything to lower the cognitive load.
> a powered toothbrush is better simply because it does more iterations per minute than a manual one...again, common sense

It wasn't obvious to me that that would be true. Most cleaning tools aren't vibrating brushes.

I was actually concerned about damaging the teeth. You are effectively putting a power tool in your mouth.
1000X yes. It’s the result of a PR campaign to increase the H1B Visa allotment. Love H1B employees, they are just delicious! Low wages and zero bargaining power otherwise it’s out of the country with you.

It’s also funny because this creates a problem where wages have been driven down to a point where skilled workers can barely afford to support a family in tech zones. So because of these depressed wages in software engineering, there are fewer skilled workers living in these regions. Make no mistake this is software engineering specific. Otherwise show me roles in tech where there are lots of H1B visa employees.
How is it not a promise? I fail to imagine it being said in a way that isn't one.
If you know what an FFT is you know that it's very often used for signal processing. You probably also know that convolution in the time domain is the same as multiplication in the frequency domain, and vice-versa.

So now imagine a multiplication of two numbers, say 12345 * 67890. Imagine each number is a signal where the digits are samples. Multiplying like you were taught in third grade is effectively convolving one signal by the other.[0] Do this with pen and paper to see it clearly.

So if we call normal third-grade multiplication "time domain convolution," we can imagine converting both signals (both numbers) into the "frequency" domain with two applications of the FFT, then multiplying their frequency domain samples component-wise (which is much faster than convolution) and then taking an inverse FFT of the result. That's the algorithm in a nutshell.

It would buy you nothing on the numbers above because they're much too small. But for numbers with thousands of digits, it's a big speedup from O[n^2] to roughly O[nlogn].

[0] I'm oversimplifying. It's actually polynomial convolution and you have to do carries. That's slightly harder than signal convolution, but the idea is the same.
For a high-speed callback that might not matter but is the potential slowdown of a few microseconds for the extra indirection really a problem for reacting to button clicks?

Normally supply shortage --> higher costs.

Let's be absolutely clear the goal was simply to bring in foreign workers to reduce salary costs.

I find it very worrisome that it got flagged. There's lots of interesting things to discuss about the report because it hits many topics we often discuss on HN. Including security of elections, digital influence, wikileaks, role of the internet and social media in society. How to keep fake news at a limit. These are all topics we discuss regularly. I really don't understand why it's flagged. It isn't even some shitty blog with opinions, it's literally a link to the actual report...
> How do you convince someone like this that universal healthcare is better for all of us?

You have to show that the government is competent enough to create universal healthcare. If people thought the government were more competent in general, they'd be more amicable to having the government choose a doctor for them.

SCIFs generally have some sort of TS/SCI network connectivity, so the appropriate solution would to just use it. But every agency that has SCIFs wants their own network, because it would be disastrous if TLA #1 could see TLA #2's cafeteria menus. Congress, the White House, all seventeen IC agencies, and every customer agency have at least one; and people on one don't necessarily have the access they need to others (or the cafeteria menus would be visible, and we can't have that). Given sufficiently pathological connectivity, it can be easier to just have someone courier a DVD.

There's absolutely no legitimate reason for a computer in a SCIF to have outdated software. Data diodes exist, and there is no technical obstacle to setting up a mirror of whatever package repository you like. (Political obstacles may be non-trivial, because compliance is far more important than security, and too many members of upper management believe that classified networks are somehow magically secure.)
Evidence? There are certainly high performing single payer systems. The UK system is very popular, had good results and is economical.

Sorry to bring this up, but then again if he's gonna get all old-school and freely call people "suckers," "crazy," and "morons," I guess I don't feel too bad asking: What kind of crazy sucker moron makes a site that is perfectly simple and lightning-fast, almost to the point of looking like motherfuckingwebsite.com, and then allows AMP into the picture? The one very small & economical image on this particular page doesn't load unless I enable scripts from ampproject.org and the AMP CDN. I mean AMP is for speeding up bloated pages and sucking Google's proverbial... bandwidth... isn't it?
I've written three books for Apress, and their process seems to be a bit leaner (less review), so more of the book quality is the author's responsibility.

The technical reviewers were good, but certainly not world experts on the topics.

Regarding the topic of writer's block, my advice is to write blog posts instead of book chapters first. Depending on your contract, you might or might not be allowed to actually publish them, but if you did a bit of blogging first, you are likely used to writing blog posts, so the idea is not as scary as writing a book chapter.

You can do enough editing later, but starting from blog posts gives the chapters some independence that I as a reader appreciate.
This reminds me of when I was like 10-12 years old or so and woke up to a bee biting around my tear duct. I thought it stung me. I remember I was dreaming about taking off my shirt for some reason and then feeling some sort of pain, which woke me up. Couldn't open my eye until they gave me antihistamines or something at the hospital where they told me it wasn't a sting, but it was a bite.

The source was from holes we had in the walls where the cable came in from outside (My dad isn't an expert, so he just drilled a hole in the wall). They ate through the caulk and got into my room. Guessing they were attracted to all the cologne I was spraying, because I was entering that phase of life and just sort of overusing it.

All that being said, I think they were yellow jackets rather than bees, so feel free to throw my story in the story basket.

Your first link has the essentially same data as what I referenced - 3.2 mm per year recently. Since 1919, they show a rise of about eight inches. The current rate amounts to 12 inches per century.

Your second link is interesting - thanks! It’s not different from what I said. We have come out of an ice age. The interglacial epochs have been historically relatively short.
As Scott Adams said on Twitter the other day, we already have universal healthcare. You can't be denied treatment if you walk into a hospital and require treatment. That is, all the healthcare that covers everybody in the country is already paid for. What we don't have is universal healthcare _insurance_.

That said, it's undeniable that NPR has a liberal agenda. They swung so much in that direction in the past few years I stopped listening to them and switched to audio books for my commute. Best switch ever.
Hence suggesting it’s more than just brain size that leads to civilization.

Everything Russia has done that you claim is a coup destroying our functioning democracy, both US political parties have done ten times stronger. They not only use social media to stoke violence and circumvent the law, they use the mainstream media as well as every level of government.

We've known how nefarious the political parties are since Watergate, and there have been countless examples of them using the same tools (Brooks Brothers Riot is a good example.) A Russian hand in the game isn't new nor is it that big of a deal.

Are people just casting everything to string because they don't want to deal with strict types?

No? How would that even work? It's not really a sensible way to draw conclusions about what people do with the language. For instance, you're much more likely to type 'Object' in Javascript than you are in Python.
I wonder if this is a combination of JavaScript frameworks becoming more sophisticated and offloading concerns from developers and the sheer exhaustion of trying to get a question answered from SO without the host of problems involved in simply asking the question.

It's often easier to ask and answer your own question on the corresponding Github issue tracker and let Google index it, then to run the SO moderation gauntlet.
