ZeroCater (YC W11) Is Hiring a Full-Stack Engineer in SF or ATX – Must Love Food
I admit I'm a little bit confused by the constant refrain of "people want to be protected from cooking smells". I'm arriving at the conclusion that "cooking smells" is actually a euphemism for badly designed/insufficiently exhausted kitchens.

Because it's a distinct minority that I've ever encountered who proclaims: "drat, is that freshly baked bread and pastries, how disgusting! and freshly ground coffee, ewww, can't stand that, and stir fry that we love, absolute vomit! citruses, again!?"

what are people doing that food smells are listed as a negative connotation?
I think many if not most people involved in academia would strongly disagree that it teaches you nothing. Caplan's thesis was certainly not widely accepted prior to publication.
As I said I talked to his boss before the cranky sales guy called, and we already worked out with his boss how things would be handled and everyone but sales guy was on the same page.

Cranky sales guy calls and throw fits regardless of the situation, before he reads his emails from his boss or anyone else. He also was almost certainly not listening to anything I said anyway. The conversation with him was like most with him, unnecessary, but he wanted to have it.

Thanks for sharing this. I had the same reaction. I have another point to add: many people think of “goto considered harmful” as saying something like: you can use all the other control structures that (say) C provides, but the “goto” statement should not appear in your program. At least that's what I thought, but in Knuth's encyclopedic response to the article, after giving some examples where eliminating goto (mechanically or otherwise) doesn't give great results, there's a section [1] where he discusses some proposed alternative control structures to goto — and among them is “break”! And on rereading Dijkstra's article and looking at the responses to it and some languages from the time, it dawned on me that what Dijkstra was advocating was that the only control structures be conditionals, loops, and subroutines — no “break” or “continue”, no early “return” in a function — and for example this (plus a discouraged goto) is in fact how things work in the original Pascal language (where you return from a function by assigning to a pseudo-variable and waiting for control flow to reach the end). Most programmers who echo “goto considered harmful” have not actually tried the discipline of giving up all of those and seeing how happy they are. Languages have realized that the barebones proposed by Dijkstra were inadequate and have added “break”, “continue” and “return” and even more control-flow structures, like exceptions.

The weak version of the thesis is that too much ad-hoc control flow can be confusing and is best avoided. But most programmers agreed with this anyway (there wouldn't have been much of a debate if this was all it was), and in this version there's no reason the limited set of control-flow structures cannot involve some use of the “goto” keyword (like the “goto end” / “goto cleanup” pattern in C code). The strong version of the thesis, as mentioned in the previous paragraph, is something no one really wants to live with (and I haven't seen the “coordinates” in practice either way). So what people seem to have settled on is an in-between version that abandons the actual content of Dijkstra's article, while retaining the word “goto” as a marker of sin.

The smoking parallel isn't very illuminating. Eating food is necessary for survival; smoking tobacco isn't. And we've been eating cholesterol-containing animal products for many tens of millions of years, long before we became Homo sapiens, whereas the smoking of tobacco is a very recent phenomenon, way too recent to have any effect on evolutionary time scales.

In what way has evolution optimized for smoking? It gives us cancer and kills us. We're clearly not optimized for it.

We have some standardized emoji like .

I think it's more than luck. The Airbus automation systems had sane failure modes. They realized they were dealing with malfunctioning input and returned manual control to the pilots. The 737 MAXes, on the other hand, trimmed the planes down all the way until they impacted into the ground.

Also, the Airbus autopilot could be disabled. The 737 MAX MCAS system couldn't be; all they could disable was all electronic control over the trim motors, which shut off MCAS but also shut off the system they needed to be able to recover the trim entirely.

These are actually Safari Technology Preview's release notes. They're also published on the WebKit blog [0] which is a much better source since it has separate posts for each release and it includes links to the associate commits of each change. Their other posts are also generally superb and well worth checking out!

With that being said, I think your criticisms are completely reasonable and valid. Instead of duplicating this info they should just provide links to the WebKit blog.

I think I might've stretched what is traditionally meant by "be yourself" too far. The model I suggested was to take psychological pain as a hint that you are not living according to your principles. An explicit example of this would be addiction. You know it is not in your best interest to be doing a particular thing, but you do it anyways, thus psychological pain. You are not living in accordance to what you aspire to be, and I would call who you aspire to be "yourself", which would help resolve inner conflict.

Many layers are always being peeled back, because it's an inherently hard problem. I mean, how should I act/live and what is the purpose?! It's not clear, but my idea is that psychological pain (or lack of) can be a compass as to whether our answers are on the right track. Being willing to change and shedding the limiting beliefs you identify with is part of realizing and discovering one's self.

That being said, whether one's beliefs and principles are justified will always remain an open question. I don't doubt that it's possible to have terrible beliefs and realize one's self as a smug asshole. I don't think (hope?) most of us would be comfortable with that.

Apple docs were never great. They were just better than average in an era when documentation overall wasn't that good. They have always had the broken links, public APIs that are undocumented, crucial information that only exists as a comment in a header file, methods with one line of description that just restates the method name with spaces, and bad sample code.

What has happened is that documentation elsewhere has improved. Mozilla has invested heavily in documentation and now the web platform has great docs. Apple has done the bare minimum for years and it shows.

> I don't like either of these analogies.

I think it's hard to find a good analogy because software is an incredibly organic and artful thing. It can be highly technical but also playful.

I think it's a matter of finding the right people for the right job, and making sure those people have some skin in the game. If there is no incentive to write quality code, or the dev's don't care to write quality code you probably won't get quality code.

Then again maybe we still haven't come across the correct tools for the job that make it easier to produce quality software.

The fundamental architecture of a car has been relatively the same for many years now. To a lesser extent we see that in computer hardware however in software it so easy to invent new tools that maybe the good tools get lost in the mess of it all.
If I had a project to Show HN and got this much feedback, I would actually be totally stoked. When feedback is mostly positive, you can't tell if people are sugar-coating or flat out lying to you. This stuff is largely very constructive. The main points are:

- No one really knows what this is, or what problem it solves

- If it's a Make replacement, why not just use Make?

- Is this a new syntax or just YML?

- The marketing approach seems to miss the mark

With that alone they can refine their presentation and message quite a bit. That's quality and honest feedback, even though it might not feel good at first.

A PDF-from-a-webpage isn’t the same thing as a well-structured, print-first, paper manual in PDF format with the right annotations.

If a webpage doesn’t have a good stylesheet for media=“print” then the browser will end up making the PDF equivalent of a screenshot.

Typography and page layout for web vs print are different enough to warrant putting a modicum of effort into making a print media stylesheet for documentation websites.
Sounds like you're trying to run it from source?

If so the steps would be:

1) virtualenv -p $(which python3) ./venv

2) source ./venv/bin/activate

3) pip install -r requirements.txt

Then you should be able to run it, assuming you have google chrome and the chromedriver installed. It's called "chromium-chromedriver" on Ubuntu

Nobody to my knowledge is using more than 8 bits per color for taking photos. Certainly nobody using JPG (which includes wide-gamut JPEGs from DSLRs), and at least right now not even HEIF on iOS is anything but 8 bits. I'm guessing because it hasn't caused much color-banding for the typical use case (photos) anyways.

These are almost purely input mechanisms, in that sense we've had 3D interfaces in video games for decades by way various controller shapes. The problem is output interfaces don't work or at least don't gain much from the third dimension.

There's a ton of propaganda in mainstream media claiming that Mexico and America are both heaven and hell depending on what you watch but as an outsider (I'm neither Mexican or American) I can honestly tell you it's somewhere in between.

Running multiple sub-interpreters in different threads is easy in Tcl, but it doesn't stop there. If you want, you can run multiple threads in a single interpreter, using locks mutexes, etc., if you're inclined to take on the attendant complexity and risks.

Ability to run a separate interpreter per thread was designed as a handy simplification, so you could sidestep the usual complexity of thread programming if you wanted.

I suspect Apple's culture of not really caring about backwards compatibility and otherwise technological churn is mostly responsible for this; e.g. if I wanted to write Windows GUI app that'll run on everything from Win95 to Win10 and probably for the forseeable future, I'd choose Win32 because it's stable and well-documented. On Linux, a combination of POSIX and Xlib would probably have similar stability. But I'm not sure what the equivalent would be for the Mac...

That said, I've noticed MS's documentation quality also take a nosedive in recent years, notably around the time it moved away from MSDN (and introduced a huge amount of formatting errors.) A lot of useful "KB" articles and downloads also mysteriously disappeared. Fortunately I still use "WIN32.HLP" which basically covers the core part of Win32.

Not an expert here, but I am excited by the notion that this would also extend to tool use. (Tools being part of an animal's culture, after all.)
Yeah. If there was some evidence that Zuckerberg's overall approach had changed, I too would argue that continually resurfacing an old quote until the the end of time is unfair and unproductive.

All of Zuckerberg's and Facebook's actions, however, continue to suggest that his approach hasn't changed.

> And have properly set up colour management working, which on Windows is close to zero percent probability.

Maybe surprising to some, but Windows actually supports HDR10 (which includes "wide-gamut" color) better than other OSes. You can, for example, play HDR10 video games with a connected HDR-capable monitor. It might be thanks to MS's Xbox platform.
That's not an argument that something is good. Civilizations willing to perpetuate genocide tend to survive longer and achieve more economic success than those unwilling to, for instance (they face fewer external threats).

To be clear I disagree with the person you're responding to - I just think we should be careful about counterarguments with significant collateral moral damage.

Truly sRGB has been the best and worst thing to happen to color on computers. Unfortunately there's so much misinformation and bad implementations of color out there that I doubt end-users will ever understand or even notice problems as they come up. I'm really hoping that HDR support will be the driving force behind wide-color adoption, since consumers are more likely to notice when HDR isn't working.

Apple’s command line tools ships with a package containing these headers, which you can find at /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg. Note that this package is only a temporary workaround (to fix issues like yours) and you should migrate to using your toolchain’s include path.

That seems kinda silly, I'm sure exclusions would be allowed by law. It sounds almost like in complying they just removed those countries from the menus altogether....
Hmmm, this is interesting, because when I was in college (early 2000s), most of Apple's docs were littered with "description forthcoming" EVERYWHERE. The only way you could possibly understand the proper behavior was to use a framework (PowerPlant), or spend thousands to go to WWDC and ask engineers. But Apple wanted everyone to adopt Cocoa and invested heavily in making it as appealing as possible. What probably happened, they hired some bright well managed senior copywriters who ran a tight ship under the Steve Jobs era and cleaned up the mess. Best practices were defined and as best as Apple could, they explained how to take advantage of OS X and iOS. I mean, important nuggets would still sometimes fall through the cracks, but for the 80% case, you had really good documentation.

At that time, Apple was known for its Human Interface Guideline textbook with full color check-lists of Dos and Don'ts that really influenced the spread of skewmorphism around to other platforms.

What probably happened is they left, and if the writers had not completely burned out, Google and Facebook do pay way better and offer much better work/life balance. So Apple is probably left with mostly new grads who don't have families and so when an exec asks them to move the documentation to iCloud, it's probably just been one mismanaged cluster fuck after another. I suspect they'll eventually finish the migration and it'll be back to world class again.
The set people who care deeply enough about this issue to change their drug consumption habits is probably pretty small. And of the ones that are so motivated by this issue, I assume they're infrequent users that account for a small fraction of the cartels' profit.
