It's probably a bit of both. Homosexuality is, at least stereotypically, more common in environments where there are no other options, like sailing ships and prisons, even in cultures where it is strongly taboo. It's a small leap to say the same could apply to paedophilia.
Everyone agrees that this is a problem... apparently excepting the commenter to whom I was responding.

Oversimplifications don't serve anyone, and mischaracterizations are unhelpful and unwelcome.
Is it possible to take on other kinds of tasks at your current company? No company is perfectly efficient, so figure out where they are struggling to perform and lend a helping hand. Best case scenario is you realize you're quite good at whatever you try doing, worst case scenario is you've helped out another team.
The idea that “Federalist Society wouldn’t recommend anyone but a hardline anti-abortionist” somehow has become common knowledge, but it is a complete fabrication. If you go to their website’s list of their events and conferences, you’ll find more about the Clean Water Act than abortion. (Indeed, after filtering for events and talks tagged “religious liberties”—I couldn’t find anything about abortion in the first ten pages of results.) Likewise for their Twitter. It’s not really one of their issues.

The idea of Federalist Society “ideological purity” is also pretty amusing, considering that there is a large Never Trump contingency within the organization: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/george-conway-starts-anti-tru.... I’d wager there are a lot more pro-choice Federalist Society members than pro-life members of the American Constitution Society.
Show HN: Lazy Debian Package Builds
To properly embrace immutable.js and not have performance issues, you need to fully embrace it and it's API and use it as the basis for all of the models in your app. We did a half-baked approach which uses immutables in the data store (so we can leverage quick prop checks) but also convert those into normal JS objects in the business domain. This makes our use of it noticeably slow.

Immer [0] is a much better alternative IMO.. you get all the benefits of immutability without having to use a radically different API than normal. And the performance is roughly the same as immutable. And using it with Redux is natural [1], removing the need to do a bunch of nested object copies

I though svelte was interesting until I read a recent article where they introduced that `$:` label. It seemed like a very poorly thought out approach to me.

That said, I honestly don't think I'll ever go back to using a framework with templates. My distaste for them has only gotten stronger the more I use React.

> People thinking Redux is brilliant

Redux is good as long as you understand what it's good for and only use it when it buys you something. My default recommendation is to not use a state library until you find you need one.

I don't know the details, just that this something they worry about. I'm guessing that <speculation> the wording in the EPA regulations requires companies to take 'reasonable measures' to prevent end-users from subverting emissions mechanisms. 'Reasonable measures' is a grey area that the lawers get to fight about. That said, buying a black box off of ebay and plugging it in seems pretty easy.</speculation>

> In the perfect world, it would all work itself out. In the real world, while the farmers have every incentive to extract as much performance as physically possible from their equipment, JD - like every business - has a lot of incentive to screw farmers over. Competitive pressure is a traditional protection against too much abuse of customers, but it doesn't really apply all that much when you have a small amount of providers. DRM itself is, in its general form, a mechanism for creating a localized alternative reality, in which you can attach colour to bits[0]. It allows businesses to enforce arbitrary rules in their products - rules that would be impossible to enforce in pre-computer reality. This is open for abuse, and also kind of destroys the protection of competitive pressure - attach DRM to something, and its complementary commodities stop being commodities. Customers lose their traditional protection from abusive tendencies of for-profit businesses.

Well said
I usually like fresh takes on traditional, utilitarian design. But this has left me cold. For two main reasons:

1. This is trying to fix a problem which doesn't exist for 99% of people. A family struggling to figure out the math of feeding their kids with ~$0 will not recognise "mindful" shopping.

2. There are much better problems to solve in retail. Store design is confrontational and manipulative. Fix that first. Then fix packaging and presentation so that we all understand a bit more about what we're buying and how we can cook stuff. Then create meal deals which match ingredients, rather than pre-packs.

But I think the main reason this idea felt like the lowest of low-hanging fruit, is this: I'm severely sight impaired, and, on ocassion, I still get shouted at by staff when I can't negotiate an automated checkout easily, or I don't understand a chocolate-pimping deal they are pushing at checkout. Customer service is focused on "service", not "customers". Fix that first, then create pretty reciept graphs.

Amazon is the best of what capitalism can offer. They have basically crushed competition by focusing on providing better value, not building a monopoly through lobbying or a legal moat.

Given that, I wish us economic policy was focused on allowing more Amazon’s to exist in more industries, and a social policy that focused on helping the folks that are acutely negatively impacted by competition.

I grew up in England in the 80's and the label on one's shirt was a big deal. It seems to me that this behaviour may be a part of the creation of 'self' that adolescents go through, and that this is the same thing across a different medium. It's tribal, it shows implicit approval of one's decisions (namely to spend money on a costume), and I'm prepared to bet it's cross cultural too...

That seems to be a common attitude with front-end devs these days, to the detriment of web users. The performance impact of React, Angular, any other heavy frontend SPA framework is immense. Plus the extra weight required to get back to feature-parity with frameworkless (url rewriting, scroll reworking, etc). There are some complicated web apps like GMail where an SPA makes sense (although it's still super slow and heavy), but I've been on so many corporate teams where there's a big push to move a traditional site to React/Angualar/etc and it's never worth it. Development productivity is not worth sacrificing usability, and often developer productivity doesn't actually improve anyway. But I always seem to be fighting an uphill battle in this regard. I'm in the process of realigning my career away from full-stack dev nowadays because the state of frontend dev is so horrendous, I want no part of it anymore.
The proposal more often floated around is an 18-year term limit (see https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=701121 ), which would give each president 2 appointments.

The big difficult, however, is how to make sure that a hostile senate wouldn't just block all nominations (which is the new norm). Some people like Calabresi have suggested that the president and everyone in the senate would be denied all compensation (IIRC even from private parties) until the seat is filled. I don't think that's a workable idea though.

I take it, then, that you're totally ok with Medicare for All as a plan, as it's not single payer?

I'm guessing not, actually.

The point is, you're using such a narrowly defined, pedantic definition of "single payer" as to make what you're railing against a total strawman. Not even the most socialist systems in the world, (Norway, Medicare, etc) come anywhere close to your extreme.
How could a search engine ever know what the "correct" answer is? Relevance is more important.

In any case, Google's results for this particular query are certainly less "correct". They are more of a non sequitur.
The was a somewhat more "humane" streak at the core of this movement than you make out. Specifically, these buildings were supposed to serve an egalitarian purpose, removing class differences previously expressed with fancy fascades etc.

This was also a time of far heavier air pollution than we today ever experience, at least in "the west". The typical multi-family building were therefore built not right at the sidewalk, but about 15m further back. Adjacent buildings no longer connected, but had similar spacing. The fraction of open space vs that used by buildings easily tripled, and the free space was planted with grass or brushes.

This was also the time when mixed zoning was mostly abolished in favour of homogenous residential or commercial areas.

As it turned out, this style isn't necessarily what people want. It tends to be too quiet, distances increase linear with lowered density, cars became somewhat required, etc. But the motives were mostly pure.
Totally agreeing with you.

Man, I sometimes feel old seeing these kinds of complaints... and I do appreciate it. When I start certain kinds of projects with an interactive build/rebuild the first pass is S-L-O-W but interactive changes are instant (ie: node/webpack).

In rust for a hello world rocket app (just learning rust), it's 0.17s for debug build, 0.18s for production. I have no real frame of reference other than OMG it's so tiny (executable and running in-memory). I'm also starting to work with ARM/Pi devices so Rust is making a lot more sense for that space.

The U.S. healthcare system encourages the average person to

If it wasn't for health insurance (private or public), very few people could shell out for $250,000 worth of cancer treatment at end of life. Either they would go without, or the market price would be less.

Is there solid data out here that this is true? My COBRA premiums last year were quoted at a bit over $1700; a Gold PPO (a slightly better plan) on Covered CA goes for $1900. This is in the range of "not that different".

What is a bit annoying for start-up founders is that health insurance premiums are only tax deductible/paid with pre-tax money if the plan is offered by your employer (may be you).

Major traditional news outlets are shown to be major news outlets online.

This study is just proving the Pareto principal and claiming its some big thing. Of course these outlets get most of the Google love, they're all linked to as sources by all the little news outlets, how is anyone surprised by this?
I apologize for asking, but how was it inferred from my comment that local or other warehouses would be eliminated? To imply that they would was not my intention. Amazon has a variety of Amazon-owned store/ship locations, that includes Amazon's warehouses. Local partner store/ship or even just local partner ship locations do not detract from that in any way, although, Amazon could, at its discretion, choose a subset of products to cache at partner's locations, IF the partners had storage space and were willing and amenable to that arrangement...

This reminds me of how we used to create thick client desktop software, connecting directly to the database. Doing most of our business logic on the front end and leaning on the database for auth, relational constraint enforcement and (via stored procedures) transactional consistency and validation. It felt weird at the time when the whole world seemed to move to a three layer model with app servers sitting in the middle - now it's hard to imagine it any other way.
Your lawyer should advise you of all of those arguments but that doesn't mean you have to instruct the lawyer to make them. Litigants who make legally tenable but unethical arguments can still be criticised on ethical grounds. Apple could have conceded the plaintiffs' standing in this case but chose not to. The fact that this case has been tied up in expensive preliminary litigation so long surely acts as a deterrent to anyone else who would like to bring an antitrust suit against Apple, and if Apple ran this argument for that reason alone, that would be unethical and worthy of criticism.
You are seeing things in a very black and white way.

He may not have phrased it perfectly, but his point is good. Picture this: you are hired to do a contract job. The tooling today is arguably better than 20 years ago. You bill by the hour, and take fewer hours.

Now, extend that to salaried positions. There is a certain amount of work that must happen. Tooling improves, devs become more idle, management consultant fires one (over time).

This has been somewhat negated only because the role of computers has been growing quickly and outpacing the growth in efficiency. That will change at some point. As you said, there won't be a case where swathes of people are suddenly out of work, it will be gradual.

A guy I know is an economist and does consulting for factories to optimize production. He has talked about how some areas these days have removed large groups of humans and replaced them with single humans observing machines. Eventually, development could reach a similar place.
I don’t think there’re many ridiculously useful things that are universally useful.

If some stuff is domain specific or have much theory involved doesn’t mean it’s not considered a fundamental concept in some areas of work.

If some other stuff was very useful for you doesn’t mean it’s universally applicable. For example, if you had worked on a high-frequency trading bot, I don’t think you would have used neither Python, nor ZMQ or other general-purpose messaging middleware, nor even OS-provided TCP/IP stack — they all cause too much latency.

I’ve been programming for living since 2000, worked in a lot of different stuff from web dev and enterprise to videogames, embedded, robotics and GPGPU. Yet I can name many huge areas which I hadn’t seen close enough, or at all, along with libraries and tools used by people working there.

Every time I start working in a new area, or when I resume working in an area after a long (years) pause, I read a lot of relevant stuff. Continuous learning is the key to stay good, IMO.
University of Michigan May Have Developed First Unhackable Processor
At the job I'm at, I've picked up three tools either for the first time, or in a very new way:

1. Makefiles. See @aequitas' comment for more.

2. Terraform. Seriously, just using this tool taught me [a lot of] devops. It's fantastic!

3. Docker (as a tool!)

I'm going to go into the third one a bit - I feel like Docker is mostly thought of as useful for deploying things to the 'net (kubernetes, ECS, etc), but I think it's also amazing for local development and build pipelines. I actually have no idea one way or the other how much other people use it this way as well, so maybe it's just me that's finding it unexpectedly awesome for this.

Put together the right CLI command + Dockerfile, and you can hand someone a repo and they can launch a complete, reliable development environment in a single command without any other system prep. No more worrying about which dependencies need to be installed in what way; it's like `rvm` + `bundle exec` but for EVERYTHING. No more dealing with whatever custom system modifications someone has going on. `git clone`, `make dev` move on with life.

And then you can also have Dockerfiles that are specifically for producing your build artifacts, and then completely ignore the container for execution. This is how I'm using both AWS EMR and Lambda.
you can go to an independent mechanic, or a different ford service center.

Among the top 50, 5 are any sort of 'modern'. But is this ratio reflected in the types of buildings being built? Perhaps I would not be so bitter if only (27+14)/150 of new buildings were (post)modern in style. But, much like in art, it looks like the style can only exist if it suffocates all others.

Edit: By 'suffocate all others', I mean in an academic sense. Look at the designs produced by major architectural schools. They have been purged of older styles, just like the art world was purged of 'traditionally beautiful', confining it to art history.

I prefer single-use paper. I put my recycleable materials into the paper bags, then toss that into the (single-stream) recycling dumpster - the paper is recycleable after all (and is often made of recycled paper).

Back when we went to the recycling facility in person, we would pre-sort and still use the paper bags.

I suspect, when used this way, paper beats plastic, environment wise (of course, there are better alternatives, like personal canvas bags, but that's another story).

The data presented in the article is the exact opposite of your claim. If you'd like to refute the data, please cite a better source than your personal anecdote.
Here is a list of technologies/tools that I have found quite enabling (in addition to what has already been covered):

1. Earlier use of VMs and now Docker containers -- It was around 2004 that I got introduced to VMware tools to create, configure and run VMs. Life was never the same after that. No more fretting about installing pre-beta software for the fear of hosing my perfectly working system. There was a time when I had multiple servers running VMWare hypervisor, each running multiple systems. Then around 2014 I switched to using Docker containers for similar purposes and haven't had a need to use VMs.

2. Jupyter notebooks/pandas/plotly -- Can't imagine how one can explore data without this.

3. SQLite -- Perfect for writing unit tests for code that deals with SQL databases.
