Although you are correct and GP was mistaken in their definition, `reflect` fits better here.

Definition of reflect

transitive verb
1 : to prevent passage of and cause to change direction

// a mirror reflects light

---

Definition of deflect

transitive verb
: to turn (something) aside especially from a straight course or fixed direction

// armor that deflects bullets, deflecting a question

---

With deflect, something is simply being diverted, whereas with reflect, it's more intentionally being aimed somewhere. This is the nuance I feel innately, although at this point we're splitting hairs I think.
>As well it should be?

Absolutely not!

The moment you're discounting the science and dismissing stuff based on fallacious reasoning is the moment you place opinion over empiricism.

About 70% of Amazon sales are from third party sellers. So if you are comparing apples to apples you have to just look at the ~30% that is direct from Amazon. And with first hand experience with Amazon's Vendor program they go further than a lot of other retailers in pushing costs onto their vendors such as making them eat returns etc.

> I always have thought that a surfeit of choice would have driven prices down

Choice only drives priced down when it is choice between options which are actually substitutes for each other. What is instead happening is that the uniquely attractive franchises that people are interest in and not willing to substitute for something else are getting distributed over more different offerings, which isn't really competition in the sense that drives down prices much.

Newsblur did add (somewhat recently) a "tiles" like view for graphic/image blogs to the web version. Newsblur might not always be the fastest at picking up hip new features, but I find that Samuel is pretty reliable about eventually adding the "greatest hits" of what everybody else has been doing.

It's also open source for those that want to try to directly contribute code fixes/ideas, but I've rarely felt that need. I'm happy enough just paying the Premium subscription every year and knowing that suggestions on the forums (used to be UserVoice, now is Discourse) get responses pretty quick.

I'm not aware of anything that Vonnegut (jr.) wrote about architecture specifically, but that list of "other people unhappy with modernity" is supposed to be a miscellaneous grab-bag anyway.

Curl's book is a mud-slinging rant which accuses modernist architects of being psychotic, deranged, obsessed with hygiene, inclined to erethism (I had to look it up) etc. The claim that Corbusier was a fascist is the least of it. In this sense Curl's argument is a bit like the claims that Corbusier was autistic https://www.citylab.com/design/2018/01/the-perils-of-diagnos... which aren't really taken seriously.

The right-wing aspect of what Curl is saying is his alignment with traditional 'polite' architecture (built by and for the wealthy) and his total dismissal of the social collectivist agenda of much modernist architecture. Modernism, at its best, had a social conscience and tried to serve the people rather than cravenly serving capital.

The opposition Curl is subscribing to essentially distinguishes between individualistic, traditional architecture (with ornament and ostentatious materials) and a collectivistic modernist architecture (inspired by vernacular building and modern machinery). This is exactly the kind of Manichean distinction that you will find in idealistic modernist manifestos. The difference is that Curl takes the side of capital, while the modernists would have taken the side of labour.

The reality of architectural practice is much more complex than that. Positing that opposition as the historical, intellectual reality behind 20th C architecture just isn't a good premise. Curl (like David Watkin in "Morality and Architecture") is attacking a straw man. He's fighting a propaganda war that ended years ago.

There's a ding-dong battle here between Curl (with his uncritical embrace of traditionalism) and Barnabas Calder (who himself is not exactly a hard-line socialist):
https://www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/magazine/the-duel-has-mod...

Curl says things about architecture "generating hostile responses in humans" and it seems clear to me from experience that we are dealing with someone who is reaching for pseudoscientific language because their argument is weak. Nikos Salingaros is another prominent person who loves to science-up his reactionary ideas about architecture.

The truth is that the modernists were acting out of an idealistic conviction that the machine age needed a machine architecture. Of course that wasn't a logical necessity: it was ideology, to some degree. But they were also responding as best they could to genuine changes in the circumstances in which they had to build (caused by modernization).

It's possible for historians to discuss this period now without trying to start a fight or seeing the issues in black and white.
We've got a solution to this as well! It's interesting enough to get its own blog post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19910926
Yep, hopefully a lot of the default improvements will make their way into all of the browsers. Until then, this also evens the field across all of the browsers but for me the really exciting part is exposing it to Workers so sites can customize the logic specific to their needs. Boosting the priority of hero images or async scripts that are important for the site but the browser's default logic has no way to know. Priority hints (also Chrome-only currently) will eventually bring that to browsers natively.

Full disclosure, I'm the article author and I also spent several years on the Chrome team working on the resource loading/scheduler so it's probably not too surprising that there are similarities.
Apple’s App Store Anti-Trust Case Is Real
Come to think of it, does the First Amendment actually stop the police in the US doing the same thing? The article reports that the police acknowledged that no crime had been committed. I don't think that there's anything unconstitutional about a police officer calling someone up and asking them questions.
This is something I've always wished for. That way, I could turn off the annoying background music that makes it hard to hear what's being said, or if there's a copyright strike against some music, only the music track gets deleted.

I do find that a bit weird myself, but I'm happy to see that there are countries that still value privacy.

Every corporation does some sketchy thing or another so I just use Amazon because it's the most convenient.

You could go out and shop locally at small stores when possible if you want. Some argue it's still better to go to a Wal Mart than order from Amazon because it keeps local jobs. I've heard Amazon warehouse work has bad conditions but pays decently and consistently if you're willing to put up with it, while Wal Mart pays less and switches your shifts around but is obviously less labor intensive - various points for each but I have gotten the impression Wal Mart is worse on society overall. I think it's generally a moot point because the influence of the few people who are both motivated to take these stances on where to shop and can afford to is too small to make a difference - legislation and unionization are the most practical avenues.

One part of local shopping I highly recommend is farmers' markets - not just in the sense of not supporting Tyson et al, fresh eggs are great and you can even get different kinds like duck eggs (bigger and taste better), you can get fresh grass fed beef and other meats if you're lucky, and obviously the vegetables/fruits are good too.

An Ode to Being Old
I tried learning hg and arrived at http://stevelosh.com/blog/2009/08/a-guide-to-branching-in-me... which is a crazy complicated answer to what should be the most important question.

There's just something about git branches and refs that makes sense to me. The CLI commands are a mess, of course—why can "reset" do everything?
Most of my work comes from companies who have gotten burned by overseas developers and want someone closer to home who they can meet personally and will be in the same or at least mostly overlapping timezone. So yes, in the US you can't compete on price but you can compete on service.
Starting with the fact that, in the U. S. at least, if you didn't order it, you get to keep it. IANAL, but that could probably be signed away in the agreement or something.

I freelanced to gain experience. Most businesses would rather not mess around with Wix, but they also don't want to pay thousands.

Find a small business with a crappy website and make them a better one. I mostly did restaurants/bars. I took partial payment in food.

If you are in it for the money, then no, it is not worth it. If you are in it for experience and to progress in your career, then go for it!

Obviously, I can't guarantee it will work for you, too. But it worked for me. I recently landed my first contract with a start-up, and I should never have to go back to taking partial payment in food :-)

> Because everyone recycles these days

That's just it though, isn't it? They don't, really.

My understanding of the "crisis" is that all those well-intentioned recyclers were duly sorting their plastics, which was then picked up by their municipality for "recycling" and then shipped straight to a developing country where it was just dropped on the ground. And everyone felt good about themselves, and nothing was done.

Had recycling not been turned into an "out of sight, out of mind" problem, this whole thing could have been averted and some kind of actual clean disposal or reduction implemented.
Go has certain things out of the box that I think attributed to it's success:

Built-In libraries out of the box for web and other things which are useful. The out of the box web server isn't Django, but it works, and it's clear what it's doing under the hood. Also all the code is documented as well. I think if Nim could have a usable web server in the std lib (same with Rust and D) it would be a game changer. It doesn't have to be ultra fast, just good enough to be production ready (SSL and other secure things, and make setting up a static directory easy, numerous static directories).

The first thing I test when I try any language is the web frameworks, it tells me how expressive / powerful the language can be. This is why I always loved CherryPy from Python, because I can mentally map classes, objects, and methods to http routes without too much mental overhead. If I need to get crazier I can pull in a routing library as well.
The relationship with HiPE is weird. It's probably better to consider HiPE as an alternative VM to BEAM which used to be faster in some kinds of computations -- especially numerical -- but had trade-offs in terms of memory consumption and compatibility. Different shops approach HiPE uniquely, but it was not uncommon to see HiPE used for tooling -- dialyzer especially -- but not end up in production. The original developers of HiPE have now moved on entirely or are focused more on introducing JIT capability to BEAM.

The BEAM team are not the maintainers of HiPE and don't have the expertise to update it, meanwhile HiPE does not have a full-time, dedicated team behind it. I won't be surprised if HiPE gets split out from the default install in a few years if HiPE keeps falling behind.
Amazons own last mile has now consistently failed to deliver my sub $20 items several times in a row now. You can say the same for amazon.
I suppose, though that concept has been around awhile too.
Agreed, selecting by hunk is ok in the terminal, I do it too sometimes when sshed someplace distant.

But you noted the two main differences yourself: (1) you don’t have to think in terms of git hunks if you don’t want to, lines or any blocks are as easy to deal with and (2) you don’t have to think about whether it would be quick or not to fire an editor because you don’t have to fire an editor.

This, plus everything’s lightning fast due to shortcuts. I use Magit in spacemacs and rebasing is very easy. I’ve done it so many hundreds of times that I can tell it from memory - e.g., fixup-merging the last two commits to the third one: “lljjriff,,” (maybe there’s a quicker way) - that’s less than typing git rebase -i.

Not trying to preach, just sharing why magit users are so happy about it.
In my area, music stores managed to survive Walmart for the most part because they got into buying and selling used. Stores like Best Buy also cut into local music sales substantially.

The end result was inevitable, however, regardless of Walmart or Best Buy. First Napster, then Apple, then Spotify. If anything, the local music store survived by offering a premium, through their knowledge, sense of community, vinyl offerings, etc. while Best Buy and Walmart have retreated on music sales.

You can stop this type of progress. While the romantic idea of local shops is appealing, the reality is not. High prices, inconvenient hours, and limited selection pale in comparison to incredible selection, low prices, and 24-hour availability.
> Unlike getting a product on store shelves which requires passing through a rigorous, sometimes corrupt, but difficult-to-fake process, getting a product on Amazon or Walmart Marketplace is as easy as uploading a spreadsheet or filling out a product description.

This is the key. For the most part, anyone can sell anything on Amazon. On other sites, even if the reviews are fake, at least there's (generally) someone at the retailer who sanity checks their products for a basic level of quality and provenance.

remember that humans die at 10Gs

This is not exactly true. Arguably, it's half false. In any case, this is more nuanced than what you state. There may be some humans who die at 10G. Prolonged exposure to high G might increase the death toll. People could be maintained at 10G unconscious, if they are in the right position, on the right kind of couch.

Humans have survived much higher G loads.

It’s actually a really wise business decision to keep all these separate.

- Hulu advertising tier: this can be the dumping ground for all the mainstream network television that Disney and Fox owned, allowing them to monetize that content after broadcast

- Hulu premium: compete with Netflix for premium television, can be more mature, and allows for monetizing viewers willing to pay for ad-free.

- Disney+: obviously a different brand with content requirements, it can allow Disney to grow their brand, and monetize the most “die-hard” fans, on top of other channels.

- ESPN+: live is very important, and allows premium advertising revenues to be generated. Sports does not have much crossover with other channels, and has unique business models.

All of these allow Disney to continue making tons of money from the current cable bundles, while opening new markets and segments for monetization, all while defending against threats like Netflix, etc.

I don’t own Disney stock, but their current situation seems very considered, given the current market and where it is going. I think they have single handedly disrupted Netflix’s plan to be the new “TV”.
There was a radioactive cloud over most of Europe after Chernobyl. It is much harder politically to defend nuclear energy once you lived through that disaster.
I think the fact that they're so popular is, ironically, why they're so effective. They're not a government organization, they have no enforcement arm, yet complaints there can and have resulted in satisfaction when other avenues fail.

Yelp, on the other hand, is where "let me speak to your manager"-types go to bitch about restaurants screwing up their orders. BBB complaints seem a bit more fleshed out.

Nah, we're way ahead of the curve. People are actually using the unix command line for productive stuff in 2019! That's so crazy!
Nothing is inherently safe. Nuclear power is our best hope for clean energy and cleaning up the environment. Wind, solar and hydro can fill the gaps...but without nuclear we'll never have a true clean solution.
Yeah. Tough questions are deflected. Glory is reflected.

Deflection is typically used when the would-be target is protected from the incoming object. Reflection is when the never-was target is now a target.

The big take-away from this is that "HTTP/2" is not the same thing everywhere. Quality of implementation matters. We didn't see so much variation in HTTP/1, because servers had almost no control, and clients were opening multiple connections, so even bad prioritization was hidden by TCP-level parallelism.

In HTTP/2 we've reached a good level of interoperability, but bolting on HTTP/2 on top of a server architected for HTTP/1 is not enough. We have room for optimizations and maturity.
The durability of the item is sort of a side issue - I guarantee that back in the day (and maybe still a bit today) that kids were bullied for not having the hot brand of shoes, or the right clothes, or listening to the right music.
I think freelancers should go up market and actually become full on programmers as the lower hanging fruitso to speak can easier be built with a web site builder.

I built a sass called , https://freepage.io.
that allows people do get their own personalized subdomain, SSL and publish a webpage using markdown. You dont need hosting etc. Anybody and I mean anybody can create a website in a few minutes. so if you are a freelance learn something lie nodejs, or golang for backend. lots of demand.
I have a feeling only a relative handful of games would suffer from emulation the way you describe. Mainly those that came bundled with some kind of proprietary peripheral. The vast majority of games work just fine through emulation.
If your statement was accurate there would be no thriving game streaming services like Twitch, UStream, etc.

Watching people play is like watching sports: it's enjoyable the better the player is; it's boring if they're just fooling around with the controls. Also, like sports, the enjoyment improves the more you know about the game being played.
DPD is the worst. They almost returned my package to the origin because they couldn't call me to deliver once, I asked why couldn't they knock, ring the doorbell or leave a notice and while trying to excuse themselves they accidentally told me the number they tried to call - it was the package shipping number. :facepalm:
hah, i'm already there, looks useful
You're going by specs only, rather than actual quality of components. See videos of blind tests between the XR's screen and the Pocophone for instance. People pick the XR, every time.
The way it played out in architecture has been pretty bad. Corbusier in particular should have just stuck to chairs. He was much better at chairs than he was at buildings.

As far as this kind of thing goes, I love stuff by Altair Alto and Shigeru Ban, whereas I'd happily bury George Marsh under his own concrete. Norman foster I am 50/50 on. Some of his stuff I like, but the tulip and the gherkin are basically just giant tumescent cocks sprouting out of the centre of London.
What does that have to do with the 1st Amendment? "Free speech" means the government can't pass laws regulating protected free speech, but not all speech is constitutionally protected. Youtube, Facebook, etc. are businesses. They are in no way obligated to host your content for free. Just go pay for your own hosting if you find the free platform's policies too restrictive. Besides hate speech is not legally considered constitutionally protected speech anyways, so it's a moot point.

Outside of the biggest major game manufacturers, that's long been a problem with legitimate board games having inconsistencies like that, for instance because different printers with slightly different process were used for different print runs of the same expansion.
