> Switch over to a monthly subscription plan (if no one pays for it maybe you weren’t as useful of a source as you thought)

You know what happens when you pay for subscriptions? They still hit you with ads and perpetual reminders to turn ad blockers off. I'm a paying user of about 10 different sites, and most all of them still remind me to turn off my ad blocker (or don't work with an ad blocker running) even after I've signed in.

News websites are dumpster fires because it's a race to the bottom. Let's say NYT is a good news source... they'll still lose eyesballs to DIPSHITPOST who doesn't spend time validating their stories before publishing them. And so you say DIPSHITPOST will go under? That's fine, there's always another IDIOTDAILYTIMES out there.

Tools like Facebook and Reddit and HackerNews are the sources we all go to to find the content, some are curated better than others, but at the end of the the day whoever gets to market first tends to be the winner. And NYT and other "good" sources will inevitably fail because fast, good, or cheap -- pick at most 2.

You may argue that JSX is a single language, but that is irrelevant since you still need to understand HTML and CSS.

> But is it really charity if it is a requirement? I’d call it a tax.

It's not a tax. You can't get your passport revoked if you don't pay tithing. You won't go to jail for tax evasion, either. In fact, probably nothing will happen. You can continue to go to church every Sunday without paying tithing and most congregations would still welcome you with open arms. Ecclesiastical leaders might remind you that tithing requires faith and that you would receive more blessings if you paid your tithe, but as long as said leaders do not profit from said tithes, I don't see a problem with it as there is no conflict of interest.
From the article, the number of children hasn't increased. The decrease in births per women cancels out the increase in women of reproductive age, resulting in the same rough number of births per year.

I’ve told this story before on here, but most of my social circle went to college. In general, most of those I’ve stayed in touch with are doing alright for themselves.

But we graduated college between 2007-2010, so it was a rough economy to be looking for a first job.

One friend skipped college and joined the local electrician union. He did his 10 years to get his lifetime card, and started his own business a few years ago.

Not only is he already making a ton of money, he has zero debt, and more importantly charges close to whatever he wants an hour because of how in demand he is.

He jokes that he’s going to be the only electrician in the city in the next ten years because all the old guard is retiring, and way fewer millennials went into trades.

College would have been a bad idea for him and he knew it.
Microsoft “Cloud and Mobile Technology Incubation Program” Launches in Zhaoqing
The worst of both worlds. You wake up the next day after automatic updates are pushed to your machine and your harddisk has been wiped clean and the first news article you find is that Microsoft is rolling back the update for anyone that hasn't received it yet because they don't have a QA department for this kind of thing any more.
Germany is also at the bottom end of tertiary education attainment in the OECD. The real lesson to learn from Germany is not free education, but that tertiary education simply isn't needed by the vast majority of the population. As the price of post secondary schooling is also a function of supply and demand, when the rest of the population back away from those services, it will become more cost effective for those who have a good reason to be there.
a/b tests only work for outcome based advertising. A lot (if not more) of the old world advertising isn't outcome based. It's more about make consumers hear your brand over and over and be associated with things that you think of them automatically.

Indeed. I avoided the term depth buffer for this reason. A depth test is still necessary on a per-pixel basis for a correct solution to the visibility problem in the general case - even if that's done by raytracing or some other method.

The painters algorithm is not a general solution because it cannot handle cyclical occlusion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Painter's_algorithm#/media/Fil...
Its limitations constrain the geometry which may be correctly rendered.
I think it can help. Traditional DBs generally worked on the assumption that if you were scanning through records one-by-one you'd already lost, so naive ideas that you can just write Really Good SIMD won't help. But there are plenty of smart people who understand this well and can write SIMD code for what remains.

Scanning non-DBMS stuff can benefit a lot from good SIMD (although writing code that's tremendously clever that allows you to run faster than memory bandwidth permits is also fairly self-limiting; the faster you go, the less likely anything can keep you fed).
This integration exists, but it’s a choice for the sender and it’s not transparent for the receiver.

As a sender, when you select a file from Drive, it defaults to sending a link, but you can change it to send as a normal attachment.

As a receiver, I believe you will see a Google Drive link, not a normal attachment.

I've shipped products using most major FE frameworks. Those things can be had by pretty much any of them. The biggest annoyance with angular is the excessive amount of baggage and boilerplate.

Decorators aren't inheritable or composable. Because templates are strings, you need the hacky DI and superfluous module system to avoid tag name clashes.

As for React, it is nothing like PHP. JSX is a macro for function calls that return objects; as such they are first-class data structures with all of the benefits you would expect. Yes, it is just a view layer and you need to bring more stuff in if you have a big project planned.

If angular floats your boat that's great. The last time I used it was in a team of mostly C#, Java and Python enthusiasts. Once they figured out what was es2015, what was typescript, and what was Angual, the dev experience was generally reviled. (especially once they saw some react code). I generally don't say that I won't work with a technology, but after a year with it (and having years for AngularJS/1.x, React, Ember, Vue and Backbone under my toolbelt) I am content with saying that Angular sits with Backbone at the bottom of the pile of what I would choose to use again.
Beyond burger does not taste like meat, it's just good tasting (to my family). Impossible tastes meaty and I don't like it, nor does my family. I've been a vegetarian for over 15 years and seen veggie burgers go from hockey pucks or green mush to what we have today. The ability to use these replacements means less changes in ingredients for recipes, easier for everyone including meat eaters when planning large get togethers, and less comments when in public. Believe it or not I really don't enjoy explaining to everyone why I choose to eat the way I do, these make it easy. When you're a minority in a society, there more options to seamlessly blend into that society, the easier life is. You also seem to be in the minority of people who don't want a sugar replacement. Diet soda is popular for a reason.
In that you're familiar with the metaphor I'm puzzled that you find it inappropriate. Where did it stray? One's silence when faced with an allegation where denial of a material allegation is appropriate is often construed as being "pregnant with admission" of the allegation.
It's generally better designed, but from own experience, harder to actually get something done with unless you are going to learn it from first principles — which hardly anyone does because while simpler than LaTeX it's still has cthulu-esque levels of complexity due to the TeX heritage.

One reason for the practical gap is that there is an order of magnitude more info on LaTeX online. Googling for ConTeXt is a miserable experience and the official documentation is far from enough.

On the other hand, if you do master it — well then it's easier to do the kind of things the OP does, which I think is really impressive.

Agile: How to conduct a distributed paperless quarterly planning properly
Yeah I feel like sponsored content is going to be a flash in the pan on the timeline of history. I do read some sites that monetize that way, but I discount the value of what I’m reading so far that I don’t think that model is built to last.

I think I have a somewhat lasting solution but people here especially are not going to like it. I think bezos buying the Washington Post and structure like that build the best version of journalism available to us right now. Structures like NPR and others which have large endowments are another, but basically news runs best when you divorce pure profit models and can run the thing at some kind of operational loss and keep it out of market forces as much as possible.
Does anyone know how your system works?
DI in Angular 8 is much less aggressive than in AngularJS/Angular 2. At least it feels this way :)
> The problem is that police are being involved in the job of social workers.

Isn't the whole point of this that they can't be expected to be social workers?

> For example, a police officer may be called to respond to someone’s disruptive but non-criminal behaviour time and again. Under the Hub model, the officer can bring the person’s situation to the Hub—which may include staff from child welfare, addictions, or housing assistance agencies—and ask if other agencies can intervene.

The idea is that calling the police may be a blunt instrument, but maybe they can get the right instrument in place. I'm not dismissing the concerns with such information sharing, just seems like the point is to get the right people for the right circumstance.
I wonder how much of this becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, aided in part by ongoing weaponization of inter-nation trade discussions by targeting firms from China (arrests of executives, bans, etc).
Of course, I've seen it argued that China has been targeting US firms for a decade in various ways - which only makes the events this year yet another escalation of action.

That seems like lazy contrarianism.

If you put docker inside a VM, and your hypervisor is running in a zone, and you have different zones based on ”role”. Then of course you get the benefits of the zone and the hypervisor.

The parent said “docker solves deployment, not isolation”- if you get your isolation another way then there’s no issue with using docker.
You can definitely check out https://github.blog/2018-09-28-upgrading-github-from-rails-3... and other stories of big Rails upgrade to get a grasp of what has changed. As for new features, I'd just go with googling what's new in Rails 4/5.

Show HN: Grilops – Solve any Nikoli-style grid logic puzzle with Python and z3
The steelman is that Widevine is a DRM platform; to tell the difference between a browser and a ripper application it needs a lot of knowledge about the context in which it's meant to run, and how to tell the difference between a 'real' Chrome that follows the licensing rules and a fork of Chrome that doesn't. It should have been obvious to Maddock that he wouldn't be allowed to do this: I'm not sure why it's come up as an issue as a result.

As for Electron, are you sure? I found this page:

https://electronjs.org/docs/tutorial/testing-widevine-cdm

It says:

To enable video playback with this new restriction, castLabs has created a fork that has implemented the necessary changes to enable Widevine to be played in an Electron application if one has obtained the necessary licenses from widevine.

So there's a fork of Electron that enables you to embed Widevine, if and only if you have the necessary licenses (otherwise presumably your Electron fork would be detected as a stream ripper).

Thus I'm not sure you're right about that. At any rate, if Electron became a back door to extract content, it'd be remotely detected and disabled. That's the entire point of the Widevine system.

As for "the good guy", gah, please, are we all 10 years old here? Content licensing and copyright enforcement is not a good vs evil fight. Some content producers choose to upload their video as WebM files to free hosting providers and let anyone who wants to watch them. Others stick it on YouTube and ask YT to monetize (means, no ad blocking). Still others want viewers to pay for the content (means, no content ripping). All these are valid economic models that are widely used, and Google obviously wants to support them because otherwise the answer is not "no DRM", it's "no in-browser Netflix".

This is a lie to save face. Boeing literally decided against telling the pilots about MCAS [1] [2].

[1] https://www.seattletimes.com/business/boeing-aerospace/u-s-p...

> Jon Weaks, president of the Southwest Airlines Pilots Association, said Monday the airline and the pilots “were kept in the dark.”

“We do not like the fact that a new system was put on the aircraft and wasn’t disclosed to anyone or put in the manuals,” he said in an interview. What’s more, he noted, Boeing and the Federal Aviation Administration have now warned “that the system may not be performing as it should.”

[2] https://theaircurrent.com/aviation-safety/what-is-the-boeing...

> "Since it operates in situations where the aircraft is under relatively high g load and near stall, a pilot should never see the operation of MCAS. As such, Boeing did not include an MCAS description in its FCOM. The explainer continues: "In this case, MCAS will trim nose as designed to assist the pilot during recover, likely going unnoticed by the pilot."

There is another explanation, according to a Tuesday report in The Wall Street Journal: "One high-ranking Boeing official said the company had decided against disclosing more details to cockpit crews due to concerns about inundating average pilots with too much information - and significantly more technical data - than they needed or could digest."
How I decimated Postgres response times for my SaaS
I'm using GNUCash. I used to manually go through receipts and check against bank transaction history. That wasn't exactly sustainable so I wrote a python script to take the CSV that most banks will export and spit it back out in a nice and consistent format for importing into GNUCash. I could potentially explore the scraping capabilities of GNUCash, but with my current method it reminds me to pay down my current credit card balance while doing the exports.

Yes, my understanding is the same except that professors are usually required to teach. My best professor in grad school, in terms of teaching ability, had a wife who was a high school teacher. He was head and shoulders above everyone else in the department. He clearly learned methods of teaching from her. He also had active research projects.

I'm a software engineer. I also coach girls basketball at the youth level in my after-work time. I read about teaching methods, how people learn, and I talk with teachers whenever I can. Often they can help me get difficult lessons across to the girls.

It's fine for professors to be great researchers. But, if they have to teach as part of it, they should strive to be good at it.

They are successful for programming signal processors. For example Digital Audio Workstations, Shader Graphs, and UDK's Kismet.
