Much of living in America is a black mirror episode.
With a normal developer salary in Bay Area (assuming ~$100/h), your claim is equivalent to a statement, that you'd be able to make that meal for 4 people in 12 minutes. And I assume that's just your time to prepare it, not including ingredients, cleanup, and equipment maintenance and replacement.
The problem is not lag, it's unpredictability. For example the white side of a truck trailer may have no distinguishing features, so in some situations the parallax-based depth algorithm returns incorrect information.
Used judiciously, ligatures can help make code more readable, not less. Consider JavaScript's == and ===, and their inverses != and !==. I personally find them difficult to visually distinguish on occasion (especially the negative forms). Fira Code [0] replaces them with two-bar and three-bar equals signs (something like =, ≠, ≡, and ≢, only wider; see the link for a screenshot). I personally find these easier to distinguish from one another at a glance. I'm sure it's not for everyone, but in my opinion at least these ligatures improve readability.

I'm generally a fan of Practical Typography, but this post is unnecessarily condescending. It's sort of laughable to claim that "this isn’t a matter of taste" when users are making this choice in the privacy of their own editors.

I think all and every Chinese from the mainland I met tells me of shock they get when they see people in rich countries living in wooden or brick "huts"

They have hard time understanding why rich people go along with such standards of living
Luckly on many OS the terminal is just yet another graphical application, not something trying to emulate 40 years old hardware.
Agreed that more hackathon participants should know Rails. Although I will say that 50% of hackathon backends are unnecessary as nobody will check if you're actually persisting data/doing user accounts. And the other 49% would be perfectly fine with Firebase. But for those 1% cases where you need a CRUD API stat, Rails is absolutely unbeatable.
Because they'd get bad PR for yanking that stuff? It's not like it costs them a noticeable amount of money to maintain the existing services for a single game for customers who've already purchased it.
I thought programming fonts are typically monospaced, which means collisions (which create the need for ligatures) aren't much of an issue. I agree that ligatures aren't good in programming, but it just seems the need wouldn't be that great. Or am I missing something?
PIM Systems
Hi to everyone!
I have been trading for some years through an online store and realized that it's time to find a suitable PIM system (product informatiom management system).
Honestly, I have already read a lot about them and found that there are such a free options as open-source systems. For example here: https://treolabs.com/journal/treopim-pimcore-akeneo-open-source-pim-systems-in-comparison
But are they really easy to use as it is described?
I would be very grateful if someone had the experience with self-adapting of PIM system to their store and can share information about it.

Moreover, I am interested whether there is always a need for additional paid modules? When choosing the system from the point of view of pricing policy, I would prefer TreoPIM (https://treopim.com/). Pimcore is also very good, but expensive for my company.
Please share what kind of systems do you use?

People of the US are scared to address how the vast majority of taxes paid are not going to the general population of the US, not infrastructure or anything else outside of the private coffers of the biggest con-artists alive today or the largest and most expensive enterprise in all of human history- the US military and its 900+ bases thrust around the globe to better serve those same con-artists.

Tesla hand detection doesn't indicate that the driver didn't have their hands on the wheel. It detects if you applying torque to the wheel in a direction.

Also the Tesla fatality stat is them playing with numbers. Majority of fatalities happen where autopilot wouldn't be used. Only 15% of fatalities happen on the freeway and highways. I bet that number goes to single digits with pedestrian deaths.

I don't think that I'd expect those interfaces would exist yet, nor are they going to be coming up relatively soon. You mostly see interfaces that have a ton of work put into them either when someone is smoothing off every possible rough edge they can find to cater to the widest possible audience (e.g. Windows Desktop), or when someone is optimizing the heck out of their interface to improve performance on a very specific use case. The second case clearly isn't what we're looking for; those interfaces will tend to be massively refined with all the cruft cut off, and in many cases the very first thing that goes is any trace of analog input or output. There's a reason that some of the most impressive feats of human bandwidth are from typists and players of rhythm games like Guitar Hero. The first case isn't going to happen until the necessary interface peripherals and interaction paradigms are common enough for large reserves of programmer effort to be expended on refining the experience for the common use case. Even then I don't know how rich the interface will be; at a certain point you run into issues of simple kinematics, things like gorilla arm and the fact that the mouse is actually incredibly precise. You can get approximations, but the only thing I'd want to use for real work is "like the setup I already have, but with monitors projected into a virtual space rather than hanging off arms on my desk".

Google is still doing this on stuff like Hangouts or Meet, where it tells you it won't work in Safari. But changing the user agent has worked for me.
Actually, medical care does scale a lot: many conditions are much easier and less expensive to treat if found early. An expensive system brings lots of people to postpone care and screening.

That's the other end of the coin that's really easy to miss. I moved to Las Vegas in 2011, when my wife graduated (and where she landed in a nation-wide job search), thinking it'd be easy to find a job in any city with > 500k people (given that I had no trouble finding jobs as a recent CS grad in the relatively small metro of Champaign-Urbana, IL). It wasn't.

It's also easy to miss that "leverage" simply isn't available as an "investment tool" to most people, except with a mortage.
It may help stave off blatant rip-offs for a while.

Of course, if you strike it big, someone will eventually find enough time with a debugger to get around it, but as a small indie dev you'll probably be most interested in making sure you can break even first.
I love my ligatures in Hasklig.

It's a reasonable article. The math doesn't lie, Q1 was more regrettable than anybody suspected. They need to recoup from that and raise some money.
I hope someday to be befriended by a wealthy person, so that I can better empathize with the trauma that such a policy would inflict on them, but I am poor because I funded someone’s book and have never known anyone rich enough to care about avoiding taxes. Perhaps someday I will have such a friend, but not today. Based on your reaction, I envy you that :(

IIRC, Valve games were available on Origin.

When EA pulled their games from Steam, Valve replied in kind.

One thing that irks me is that Valve seems way more committed to interoperability, open standards and its consumers' wellness than its competitors (likely as a result of being privately owned); while the competitors in question use every trick in the evil corporate playbook to try to increase their marketshare. We've seen how they play, and the friendly façade is likely to change to ad more value-extracting one once/if they gain marketshare.
Is this a patented drug? If so Congress has the ability to step in and invalidate the patent. Not that they will do it. Those assholes couldn't give a fuck if infants have seizures and die. If not where's the competition? I thought this was a free market. Surely undercutting this price should be easy while still making money. It seems the patent should have expired by itself by now anyway.

In general, you cannot commit antitrust violations against the monopoly player (well, unless you're abusing your monopoly position in a related market, but in that case it's the market where you have the monopoly that gives you the ability to commit the antitrust violations).

That said, the DoJ has in more recent times taken the opinion that anything that lowers prices for consumers is implicitly good and anything that raises prices is implicitly bad and used this as the basis for leveraging antitrust complaints against companies that were not in fact the monopoly. In particular I'm thinking about how the monopoly player in ebooks (Amazon) successfully convinced the DoJ to sue the brand new entrant (Apple) because what Apple was doing was causing problems for Amazon's strategy of artificially pricing books lower than they should be in a fair market (even though what Amazon was doing is literally a monopolistic tactic intended to cement a monopoly and prevent anyone from competing, which leads to raising prices down the road once you're sure the competition is gone, i.e. Amazon successfully convinced the DoJ to use antitrust laws to help Amazon cement their monopoly). But since Epic isn't raising prices for games, that doesn't really apply here.
It's a Hacker News favorite to point out logical fallacies in comments as if that automatically refutes them.

Routers and such have several interfaces, including one called often "management". If you can plug an ethernet cable into that interface you get superpowers. That interface was where they offered telnet.

I'm pretty sure the rich mainland Chinese gobbling up single family homes on the US west coast don't view their purchases as substandard "wooden huts"...
The LA Times article is wrong and most of the comments here are wrong too.

Merchants ALWAYS had to collect sales tax for sales to any state in which they have nexus. The only thing South Dakota vs. Wayfair changed is the standard for nexus -- previously, you had to have physical presence[1] in the state, but now states can define substantial nexus as making a certain number and/or dollar value of sales to the state.

You ALWAYS had to remit sales tax to any state you warehouse merchandise in (except for Virginia and New York, which do not consider merchandise in third-party warehouses to create nexus). Amazon ALWAYS screwed merchants over by moving Fulfilled By Amazon / Amazon Multichannel Fulfillment merchandise around willy-nilly and creating tax obligations for the merchants. (Note: Once you have nexus in a state, you have to collect and remit sales tax for ALL sales in that state, not just those from the warehouse in that state[2]). Some of their competitors, like Ship Bob and Deliverr, do the same thing -- it's all based on the nasty attitude that the consigned merchandise in their warehouses belongs to them, not the merchant (who it actually belongs to). Most merchants appear to handle this by either flagrantly breaking the law, or by being too stupid to realize they have physical presence outside their home state.

California AB 147 is one of the many bills that states are passing in the wake of South Dakota vs. Wayfair to set non physical presence based substantial nexus standards. In the case of California, AB 147 sets the threshold at $500,000 gross sales to California addresses.

The Times article says that California is going after small out-of-state merchants under the new law. Bzzt! They are going after out-of-state merchants who had physical presence and had already been shirking their tax responsibilities for years. They would have been going after those merchants anyway, AB 147 or no AB 147.

Anyone who lies down with wolves (FBA), doesn't do due diligence and complains they got fleas is getting what they deserved.

The LA Times article also says that the bill requires marketplace facilitators to collect taxes in order to help small out-of-state businesses, which is another instance of the article's author failing to read and understand anything at all. The bill requires marketplace facilitators to collect taxes because most of the merchants doing business through the marketplace facilitators fall below the $500k substantial nexus threshold and would thus be exempt; by declaring the marketplace facilitator as the retailer of record, California is able to collect taxes on the aggregate sales through that marketplace facilitator where the sales would otherwise be considered exempt.

I am not a lawyer and this is a rant, not legal advice.

[1] Or certain other things that trigger nexus, such as sales agents.
[2] Although, if the merchandise stored in that state is used only to fill orders outside that state, it doesn't create a market in that state and might be argued not to create substantial nexus. Do you feel lucky, punk?
And may those faithful to the brands also find due cause for self-termination.
I'm not sure what the point of this story is. Is it to discredit the work done by Engelbart and his team, some of whom later moved to Xerox? Is it to suggest that Apple themselves invented those UI concepts?

Alto failed commercially not because Xerox didn't understand what they had built or kept it secret. It failed because Xerox was run by "tonerheads," as Jobs called them in a video interview -- people who made their money on copiers and couldn't envision a future beyond that. It also failed because Xerox built something for secretaries rather than programmers, as Ted Nelson has pointed out.

The history of graphical user interfaces and UIs in general is well known and this revisionist version of it isn't contributing anything to the discussion.
What a ridiculous website. Never thought I’d see a front page with more clickbait than BuzzFeed. Out of all the stories of perseverance you could find, why did you link 4 articles from this website? Are you trying to help them with SEO?

None of the articles are sourced and it even looks like they’re taking videos from other news publications like ABC and playing their own 15 second ads over them.
I wish Rails had a way to use less features. API mode is great, but when I'm writing a GraphQL API for instance, I don't use controllers, I don't use views, I don't really use routing. I do use the excellently integrated ORM, database migrations, auth libraries (mostly devise), config environments, deployment options and CLI interface.

I could just delete the folders, but that's not the point. Rails is sitting on an amazing foundation but there's only one possible house that you can build.
I think most people living in Islington would disagree about brick “huts” and prefer their town houses to massive high rises.

I mean in Stratford these high rise apartments are being built but what you’re proposing is knocking down probably a few percent of current homes and then almost certainly not compensating owners fully (as it would cost too much for the land).

You could actually argue that cross rail is a better strategy - more homes available by having fast rail transport from the suburbs might work better for cities than building even more homes...
To an untrained juror, even regular computer code is a black box whose behaviour is entirely unpredictable.

The only difference between a neural net and regular logic is that the latter has someone who claims to understand it.
I have only played Fortnite Battle Royale (like most Epic users I guess), but there are no loot boxes involved, and it feels very different from freemium mobile games. You pay for skins, or you pay for challenges that make the game more interesting, and for which more skins are the reward. That's it. And you can't wear more than one skin at any time, so it doesn't really encourage binge spending.

It's so harmless that even the non-monetary "engagement hacking" by other services feels like a burden in comparison (e.g. Steam's incessant notifications about new crappy stickers - stop stealing my precious time!).
The tendency of existing property-asset-wealth-power dynamics makes this at best difficult. See e.g., California Prop. 13.

Wedging that initiative is a very uphill battle.
Can you repost the article somewhere else? I can't access it.
Even if true, the miles accrued for others is over a period of 10 years (when there were less safe infra.) while tesla self drive is recent and hence not statistically significant.
Oh okay then let's tell people every five seconds what to do or not do with each knob and button in every car. Or why not every two seconds? Maybe one?

Forget Tesla, we should have these warnings in all cars!

"You are entering a curve. It may be unsafe to let go of the steering wheel here especially if you don't have autopilot."

"You have encountered another patch of snow. The wheels might slip on this spot. Autopilot will handle it just fine but in case it doesn't, stay attentive and keep your hands on the wheel."

"You are starting to go downhill. Warning: brakes may be required."

"The road is curving to the left 7 degrees. At this time and date the sun's rays will be entering your windshield at an angle that may obscure your view of distant objects to your right."

"Last night's rain left some fallen wet leaves strewn on the opposite side of the roadway. Watch for oncoming cars who have lost control due to conditions."

"Your blood sugar is getting low. Please get something to eat. And you haven't called your mother in a week. Make sure you call her soon to prevent dangerous distraction from incoming calls."

These warnings are very important, people are dying in droves, there are at least 2 reported incidents, from all car companies not telling everyone about what they can see for themselves.

I mean come on, it's a 1 tonne metal structure hurtling down the freeway at 100km/h I'm telling you. People are dying and it's all down to the car companies not providing these messages, which we totally have time to read while driving, every one second.

Are you kidding? Netherlands is the EU’s most famous tax evasion destination with overseas tax havens included, Sweden might have low income inequalities but has massive wealth inequalities - see their aristocratic and oligarch families, or the world famous furniture „charity” (coincidentally, its byzantine ownership scheme anchors in Netherlands).
You think Epic is the only game store that buys exclusives? Sony and Microsoft have both been doing this for many years for their platforms (whereas Nintendo prefers to simply develop their own exclusives instead of paying third parties for them).
or delusional ...

Indeed, I meant that the car should report the manual takeovers to Tesla HQ so the information can be shared. In additional you should be able to add context to it as a human.
Nice pick. I think we went down different path in the maze of linux distroes. But I'm glad you find something you find fit. I like KDE base softwares better than gnome based counterparts.
The problem is that without the greed of a few most of these charity acts wouldn't need to exist.
Healthcare is extremely expansive and inefficient in the US because of the greed of a few.
This false dichotomy between a freedom crunching social regime against the freedom saving forces of market is a lie.
Social democratic countries exist, the populus are not subjugadeted to an opressing regime nor are they left for the mercy of strangers for basic survival.
On top of that, most systems there, even governmental ones are much more efficient than in the US. And still, there's a free economy, with plenty of chances for a decent life.

On the other hand the US is controlled by the greed of a few huge corporation, the people are much less free.
As I see it, human society tends to create hubs of power. The civilian powers are not less prone to oppression than the power of the state.
In a democracy you at least have the moral grounds to fight corruption. But in a society obsessed with free markets and small government this power still ends up concentrated in places.
But now you as opressed don't have a moral ground to fight abuses of power. This false dichotomy of freedom vs welfare means that standing up against the opressors is considerred bad morally, because it means you are against freedome.
Anyway, because it seems that power have a tendency to concentrate. I'de rather have a moral system where abuses of power of any kind can be considered morally wrong.
Libertarianism, which uses the same logic as the cotton plantations of old and the feudalists from before that.

As long as everybody has a price, the solution will never be a new flavor of party, but a new government from the ground up.
