She says her parents aren't pleasant people. Imagine how her husband feels about dedicating all his future earnings towards their happiness. She thinks this is normal.
Hey that sounds like a solid piece of legislation to me. I for one am tired of my elected representatives buggering goats.

You only have 2^10000 if you have bad boundaries and overcoupling of your subsystems. Thus another benefit of unit testing is validating your architecture: bad architectures are inherently difficult to unit test.

The causation here is the opposite: rich guys are more likely to get married because they are attractive partners. It's like discovering the correlation between the cleanness of a car and its price and hoping to increase its value by keeping it clean.

A bit? Like there weren't similar systems years before osgi.

Frankly, the fact that osgi solved an important problem and people still don't use it indicates a failure, not a success.

Yeah that’s something you can decide too, while typing it out. It’s not about having extra context every time, it’s about deciding. Sometimes you want to ignore the error and take the zero value. Adding try to the language creates a new path of least resistance that decreases code quality.
Firefox's reader view is a realistic system that lets us consume html pages without their original CSS.

The more page authors use html 'properly', the more incentive there will be to improve systems like reader view.

Sure, pretending that your rent/mortgage payment isn't an expense, and calling it "house hacking", makes it easier to claim a 90% savings rate.

I come from a upper/mid class family and I am the only one in my family that lives frugally. Technically, I don't have to, but I just can't find any joy in material things.

As near as I can tell, luxury (think 50k+ $ cars, huge mansions, expensive clothing, jewelry) exists for one and one reason only: impressing others, and in particular, males impressing females in hopes of sexually attracting them.
Either that, or people just "going with the flow" without thinking. I cannot come to any other logical conclusion.

I've noticed that people buying expensive things don't really want to admit that they are buying it just to show others that they can afford it.

If you can afford food, shelter and some medical/dental care, and you can pay your bills (electric, gas, internet, whatever) without worrying about them, I don't think money will improve your happiness. Especially if you need to endure additional stress for it.

The Western civilization has it extremely good. If only people read history and truly understood and appreciated what this world consisted of not a century ago, they'd celebrate each day on the streets. Voltaire says that the perfect is the enemy of good, and that's a deep message.

I salute these two! If it doesn't bother them, I see no issue with the way they live whatsoever.
I wish that nutritionists were able to do this level of research.

The general underpinning of their holistic approach is understandable, where they need to treat an individual's body as an individual system. I understand why it is therefore impossible to follow known practices of peer review and repeatable results. But it is then used to rationalize extremely random remedies or preventative dietary regimes that no two nutritionists would ever independently come to.

There is seemingly no body of research or work toward any other method, instead just a general rejection of the words "science", "drug" and "pharma", to rationalize any procedurally generated remedy.
Your computer has better tools that don't require you to google it. Even the character picker is better, since it doesn't require loading a webpage (and some operating systems have better character picker programs than others). Emacs lets you directly search for a character by name; perhaps your favorite editor has a similar capability. If it doesn't, perhaps you could improve your editor.

Or to be specific, Africa and West Asia, due to a lack of access to contraception. That can be solved by redirecting 100% of aid towards education, contraception and abortion for women, and away from food aid.
Rational thought is a learned skill.
Rectangle vs. square. Euthanasia is a subset of all killing. It has the connotation of a medically supervised killing, usually done for reasons other than punitive measures. If your dog is sick with some incurable and painful condition do you go the vet to get killed or to get euthanized? Both are correct in a literal sense, but the connotation of the latter better describes the situation.
Can you explain further what you mean by sidestepped?
None. I don’t live on the West Coast and that seems to be mostly a west coast thing. According to all of the local salary surveys and anecdotal information that I’m getting from recruiters, former managers, and former coworkers, I’m slightly on the right side of the bell curve for architect/principal engineer, etc. Not bragging, the salary and cost of living is well below the west coast.

My last job where I thought I was being hired as a senior developer I was asked “what was my 90 day plan to create a modern software department to create two green field projects”. It ended up they were looking for a dev lead.

The next job interview I spent most of my time white boarding architecture. I wasn’t asked a single development question. I just explained what I did on my last job.

As far as comp, if I were in a position to travel a lot, there are plenty of consulting companies willing to pay me more than I am making now - all I would have to do is send out a few emails to
my network. Again not bragging. After working 20+ years if you can’t get some type of consulting gig you’re doing it wrong.
Another possible explanation would be a system to combat viral content before it spreads too far (i.e. after a link has been shared a few times). You'd probably need to do a few more experiments to determine what triggers it with certainty. That said, I'm interested what those "interesting" keywords were, exactly.
>I suspect the difference will be made up by coal/gas.

Well, it doesn't seem that it is being offset by coal, given that while it has been offline, the UK has also had the longest run of not burning coal for power since industrialisation.

Hunterston is a 1 GW power station and while it has been offline the UK has installed 2 GW in new capacity of offshore wind, if you are looking for what is making up the difference, perhaps start there.
> older devs had to go into management to keep their career trajectory ... FAANG companies seem to have figured it out for people they've already hired.

The FAANG companies and other technology platform companies have separate technical and management career tracks. Only those who want to be managers become managers.

They need her to buy them a house. That's not needing a little.
I’ve found a pretty simple starting point for
testing the bones of a website by using the
following single line of CSS:

* {
border: 2px dotted black;
}

Another nice way to find obsolete elements is to simply type this in the console:

$$('*:only-child')

Elements with only one child usually can be optimized away. For example here on HN, it shows that every <code> element is wrapped in a <pre> element. I would think the same could be achieved by just setting the right styles on the <code> element.
Dude, as I explain in another comment, assigning such codes is mostly a clerical function, meaning that IBM or Dehomag or whoever didn't necessarily have a hand in it. I'm not saying that they didn't, but this doesn't prove that they did. (There may be IBM documents out there which suggest otherwise, though.)

And I found the following statement quite telling; emphasis mine:

"They [the punch cards] illustrate the nature of the end users [the Nazis; not IBM/Dehomag] who relied upon IBM’s information technology. "

My own anecdotal experience was that I couldn't get poetry to install on a fresh instance of Ubuntu. There were some open issues for it on the Poetry issue tracker but the developer was implying it was an Ubuntu issue rather than a problem with Poetry.

How would people end up using your evil crate though? I guess you could rely on having people copy and paste code from your documentation or tutorials, but if they just type the name then they get the original.
The problem with subsidised art (or subsidised anything really) is that the money in large part goes to the people who are well connected and great at weaseling their way into funding. So, there's a constant stream of always-mediocre French, German etc. (state-funded) movies in local artsy cinemas in Poland, which no one wants to watch, because they're mediocre.

In other words, the film makers are not subject to the market forces, they don't need to make something that the audience actually wants. The official stats of the PISF (polish state institute which funds movies) say that only 4 out of hundreds funded movies have recouped the state investment via tickets and other sales. The rests are flops, which is not a problem for anyone involved. That's how you get bad art.
> ultimately it just really doesn't matter. nav and div render exactly the same.

More precisely, they render the same in common visual user agents.

It turns out the semantics can be distinct for other kinds of user agents. Accessibility is one context that matters. Intermediate UAs like search engines are another. Maybe voice browsing is going to take off with virtual assistants.
But you have to admit there are risks for the switching, i.e. there are countries that become worse after the switching. Personally, I dont think democracy is the cure to the current problems. Education probably is. And I haven't been presented with enough evidence to think otherwise.

Like, did Taiwan become drastic better after removal of martial laws? Or is Taiwan at a better position today mainly because of the help of U.S.? Is there any other third world democratic countries that have developed as fast or faster than China, who is NOT a U.S. ally?
Upper middle class American. People who focus on accumulating and spending wealth on themselves tend to draw their circle quite narrowly.
I'm quite late but will still comment...

While both high quality keto (grass fed, wild caught etc.) and high carb whole food plant based diet will make you feel great only one of those is sustainable for all people on the planet to do.

If we put all cows we have currently in the world on pastures we'd have to use all land of North and South America combined and we would - even with all that land, removing Amazon and total destruction - only be able to feed 3 billion people.

I've tried both of those diets for significantly long time. I feel good on both. High carb one is cheaper, foods are faster to prepare, it's easier to eat out (yes, if you're keto you won't get good, clean, unprocessed meat easily while a simple salad is available everywhere), animals get to live, environment gets to live - there are just too many benefits outside of your health alone.

Keto is an egoistic diet.
Oh, the irony. Saying "bigotry is conservative" - while paying billions of people (a vast right half of the political spectrum) as bigots.

And taking for granted that of course progressives can't be bigots.

There weren't for example any massive pogroms against Jews under Stalin, or the destroying of thousands of years of historical treasures (not to mention millions of people) under Mao. Progressives never call whole swaths of people "white trash" or "deplorables". Leftist students never prevent people who doesn't share their views from speaking, and so on...
MortgageCalculator.io launch, tips on next feature?
That's odd to me, and I'm not sure how common it is. I would never have expected to have to take in my parents growing up, but now that I'm reaching middle age it definitely seems like not only something that may happen, but also a far better situation than the alternatives. If not me, perhaps a sibling could do it.

Also, my spouse's parents wouldn't necessarily require care, but honestly I'd really prefer if they came to live with us too.

I may be an outlier, but I see the nuclear suburban family lifestyle as a recipe for misery and loneliness. I look forward both to multigenerational living and to more dense walkable neighborhoods.
"Getting vaccinated makes kids miserable but it still has its uses."
This is off topic since I (and parents) was specifically talking about youtube creators. But sure, lets change the subject for a minute and talk about the general ramification of far left and far right policies.

I could go hat for hat and mention all the murders and genocieds far right regimes have conducted, regimes like Franco in Spain, Pinochet in Chile, etc.

But I could also go through all the disasters caused by capitalism like the Bhopal disaster in 1984, or—the elephant in the room—global warming.

My third option would be to list all the social issues caused by unhindered capitalism, issues like the housing crisis, or the worker conditions in the late 19th to early 20th century.

But all this is conflating the fact that I would be blaming bad policies enacted by ignorant, greedy, or even malicious people in the name of a political or economical ideology, which is to say (at least in the case of Franco and Pinochet) I’m confusing capitalism with fascism, something I see quite a lot in the above comment. My point is that none of these (with the notable exception of global warming) are the necessary consequences of far left or far right policies.

Sure you could take me on this and claim that both far right and far left people are capable of performing horrible things, and you would not be wrong. And then again, I must point out that this is off topic, we are specifically talking about youtube creators, of which you can find numerous example of far right creators spreading hate towards a large generalized public while on the far left you at worst find this hate spread towards public figures that represent far-right ideologies.

Could be argued that anyone who watches propaganda on Chinese TV daily isn't particularly fit to have that discussion.

It's not like in the West where people are critical of this kind of stuff. They've really excelled at developing a "hive mind" mentality with what the state media put out.
I think quite an important bit missing in sibling comments is web browsers and setups (in addition to screenreaders) other than the most popular ones. If an HTML document is composed as a document (i.e., using semantic markup, instead of focusing on exact visual representation), it has a decent chance to be usable in textual and lightweight browsers, and to look decently in mainstream browsers in a few years as well.

To get an illustration, one could browse WWW in such a browser (w3m, links, lynx, netsurf, etc), or even in FF with customizations, and/or browse web.archive.org (particularly websites from a decade or two ago) using a mainstream browser: basic HTML pages tend to be nice and accessible, while the ones using graphics, CSS (possibly optimized for 1024x768 or a similar resolution), and Flash/Java/JS/etc are usually a pain to get information from. I think most of the contemporary websites would produce a similar impression in another decade.

Another example where semantic markup matters is conversion into other formats.
The search seems to happen pretty fast. What if when you move the slider, it searches in real time? That way it would help me search and see how increasing and decreasing the price affects the attributes of the diamond

> Imagine running plugins for the ABS, entertainment and navigation system and the navigation system crashes. With OSGi the navigation system can be restarted without impacting other more crucial components.

This is exactly the Erlang 'let it crash' philosophy. Supervisor 'processes' (message-passing green threads) run concurrently and monitor and restart each other as necessary.

The only difference is that this is not at the plugin level but at the process level, a core lightweight concurrency primitive provided by the Erlang runtime.
I'm my estimation - you can almost live this way if you limit your expectations to someone from 1967 - limited food choices, single car, small home, frugal car-based vacations and heathy living.
Mid-40s, feel like I have been discriminated against based on age more than once. Not being one to fruitlessly blame my misfortune on things I can't change, I exited the rat race and started consulting. Doubled my already staggering pay working fewer hours, and from home. I realize this is not an easy thing to get up and running, but do at least consider finding your true value on the open market. The results could be surprising. The companies do need people who know what not to do, rather than just young-uns who do stupid things faster, with more energy.
You don't have to wait for society to make this happen (and in fact waiting will fail you). This is something many programmers have negotiated on their own (e.g. https://codewithoutrules.com/2019/05/09/part-time-software-d...).

More broadly this is one of many good reasons for programmers to unionize; even if salaries are high, working hours are still far too long.
I played with this this week. I like it! I wish it kept the branch protection rules and the like if the new repo is in the same org, but overall, good times
> older devs had to go into management to keep their career trajectory, no matter whether they liked coding or management more.

This just implies they like keeping their career trajectory more than coding.
Well of course I won't use anything like that! I find it mind-boggling that people even consider giving a third party their bank account login+password. It's like saying "yes, I want to be robbed of all my money, please take these credentials and spread them forth to whichever leaked data pile they might end up in".

My bank considers transactions done using login credentials to be final. There is no recourse if someone steals your money.

Last year an iOS mail application called "Spark" (otherwise a great app) decided to quietly upload my login and password to their cloud servers so that their servers can access my mail for me. I dropped the app immediately (https://jan.rychter.com/enblog/spark-email-app-why-i-dont-us...).

This should not be considered acceptable. If you want to let users authorize external access to account data, use Oauth2.
While I agree with you, it’s an extremely hard job for the reasons he stated. Low pay, dealing with nasty people, doing demeaning work. It’s not exactly a career most people choose.

You could say the same about blocking ads. It makes some people miserable.

The premise of the article:

> Ads and other forms of marketing ostensibly serve a straightforward economic role. Firms selling goods and services need to tell consumers about the availability and desirability of their wares, and spend on advertising to do so. By informing consumers about the relative merits of various products, ads improve the quality of purchasing decisions and, conceivably, leave both firms and shoppers better off than they would be in an ad-free world.

(Had to laugh hard at the last sentence.)

Good products don't have to use advertising. Their existence alone, plus worth of mouth (e.g. reviews) assures customers become aware of good deals. Take good Black Friday deals, for example. There's a lot of BS and fake deals around, but if you search well enough there are some true gems hidden within.

Also, to me, advertising always meant some kind of deal. Merely mentioning the existence of a product doesn't cut it. It has to be a real deal where I'm saving money on the conventional price. Of course, marketeers hacked their way around that by making the discount price higher and the normal/non-discount price higher (above the actual real normal price). Old trick which is also heavily in use during Black Friday.

The conundrum is the more these tricks are used on consumers they will figure them out (eventually) and quit falling for them. So false advertising kills off the advertising market. My argument is that exposure to [such] false advertising killed the advertising market for me, and being the reason why I use adblockers 24/7.

Which is AFAIK illegal in NL, as it should be. However targeting the parents of children is legal, and... annoying.
I wonder if tourism shouldn't be considered a form of pollution, and if the countries that export the most tourists shouldn't also pay a tax similar to a carbon tax towards cleaning the damage they do to the local environment.
