I always find it shocking to hear that so many people think crowdfunded projects have no risk, that it's somehow similar to ordering stuff from Amazon. Especially when people invest more money than they are actually willing to lose.
Whose mistake is that? The customer for not understanding what they are into? Platforms like Kickstarter for not explaining it clearly enough?
I’m not familiar with that notation, can you provide some guidance on what those different pronunciations sound like in layman‘s terms?
W3.org has a good article on the business case for accessibility:

> Businesses that integrate accessibility are more likely to be innovative, inclusive enterprises that reach more people with positive brand messaging that meets emerging global legal requirements.

I don't know if this says more about the how far AI has come or the average quality of a marketing blog.
You would still be "working" if you became a baker, no?
> AFAIK you can specify alpine:3.9.4 and alpine:3.9 for example. So I don't really understand your point.

Easy answer:

1. :3.9.4 will be deleted the moment there's a security vulnerability in it == all your builds broken in O(weeks)

2. :3.9 probably will be deleted in a year or two == your builds will be broken in 1-2 years.

> What are you crossing your fingers for? alpine:latest should be the latest stable, and should work as intended.
They did - original network addresses were, iirc, around 16 bit. Meanwhile OSI went with 20 byte maximum and strong preference for separating service and implementation and putting numeric addresses in implementation side...
Canada's three federal territories (Yukon, Nanuvut, Northwest Territory) have a total land area of 3,535,263 km^2

That's about 3x Texas + California combined. That's not even counting the northern half (give or take) of Canada's other provinces. Russia's Sakha Republic is ~3 million km2 by itself. If Sakha were a country of its own, it would still be in the Top10 by area (#8), just below India.

It's not just how they look on a map, these are potentially hugely underutilized tracts of land. All I'm saying is instead of the constant doom-and-gloom prognostications, let's figure out how we can maximize the efficient utilization of this land that MIGHT actually benefit from improved accessibility under warmer conditions.
Simply fascinating.
They only charge an extra dollar or two to keep the bike longer. For most people it's not worth getting stressed about. I've used bikes shares in a several cities for 3+ hours and it was never a problem (although riding one of those crappy bikes for a few hours is kind of torture).
Might work, but unnecessary - the electric motors coupled to the wheels directly already give you the equivalent of turbo. I have no problem squealing the tires on my Hybrid Camry.
Latest of anything is RARELY stable. It's stable until someone hits a critical bug in the new release, then there's a new version, but your image is still running the older version. That's why we invented the concept of LTS tracks.

> I think the problem with specifying just 'apline:3' is that it is an ambiguous statement.

It is not ambiguous in Docker Hub land. It's a very widely used convention that means "give me the highest 3.x.y"

This is very cool, but it wont be as fun when water starts to drop on electrical equipment. And cooling will probably be an issue too. But I guess it's worth it if you get a central location in a major city.
I'll tell you from personal experience--dont let free tiers influence your tech decisions. your early lock in decisions are the most costly and you will pay dearly long after the free tiers run out

>The new rule, which is expected to come into effect within 30 days, assumes that the forces of the market will guide the country to a future of cleaner energy by naturally phasing out coal over time. It imposes only modest requirements on coal plants.

If you want to argue for small government, fine, I can't really argue against that, just own that as your position. However framing the policy this way is just dishonest. We know for a fact that free markets do not provide an answer for externalities like pollution and climate change and the only reason to say this is to buy political cover for the real motivation.

>While it instructs states to reduce emissions, the new measure sets no targets. Instead, it gives states broad latitude to decide how much carbon reduction they consider reasonable and suggests ways to improve efficiency at individual power plants.

That is always a great way to get things done, just leave everything up to what others think is "reasonable".

>Neesh or nitch!?

I only heard the latter pronunciation fairly recently via a YouTuber, who would say "There are riches in nitches" as a mantra. At first, I put it down to a form of colloquialism and it took me a while to figure out, that he meant 'niches'.
Over the years I've found that a lot of the confusion surrounding computers can be cut through by seeing them as a kind of factory. An elegant system or piece of software looks like an elegant factory, while a clunky or over-designed system or program is like a Rube Goldberg machine.

What makes good sense in leasing unused factory capacity would make good sense in leasing cloud resources, eh?
strikes me as pretty accurate. Most people I know that “drop out” and successfully pursue startups come from backgrounds where connections and knowledge usually already exist through family background.
I think the message is clear. If anyone wants to sell the pink parts of their bodies, Instagram is telling them you won't do it here.

Shame if anyone lost data.
I figure running it through Tor would fix the legal issues in exchange for ethical ones.

At the consumer level, low data SIMs in Canada aren’t price competitive, hence my desire to cut out télécoms wherever possible.

It's not ambiguous. As noted by the parent of the comment you're replying to, this is standard practice with Docker images/tags.

Personally, I prefer to specify even the patch level to avoid any kind of surprise, but I can understand why some people would want to be able to specify just the major release.
We tend to think of disruptive innovations as requiring software and the internet. How refreshing to see a story on HN of another kind.

niːʃ is "neesh". nɪtʃ is "nitch".

However, I'm American, and I anecdotally disagree that "nitch" is the only pronunciation. I exclusively use "neesh" and I regularly hear both pronunciations from other Americans.
In my opinion, inflation is poorly defined.

The metrics we use to measure inflation (e.g. CPI) have grown slowly, but that doesn't mean that inflation is low.
>What's unique about human intelligence? There doesn't seem to be anything in our carbon based systems that can't be theoretically replicated on silicon.

Organical systems convey much more, and predominantly analog signals, that don't have any sort of equivalent silicon basis. Wetware, a computer in every living cell by Dennis Bray goes into detail in how multidemnsional and complex the information processing in even individual cells is, down to single celled organisms executing complex behaviour.

You don't need to be religious to be sceptical and to see the difference between organic and non-organic information processing. In computer science circles there tends to be an overemphasis of neural connections over the actual matter and structure of neural cells.
It could be argued that this is an anti-forgery feature. Or, rather, was, before everyone else caught on to it.
I doubt someone would attempt to remake the bill from scratch like that, instead of scanning.
> EINTR is a promise that no progress was made.

If only.... on many operating systems, you shouldn't retry close on EINTR, e.g. From [linux man page](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/close.2.html):

> In particular close() should not be retried after an EINTR since this may cause a reused descriptor from another thread to be closed.

Worse, it's different per operating system!

- HP-UX you must try again

- Linux, Solaris and AIX you don't want to try again

- OSX is ill-defined and hence unsafe, you should use `close$nocancel` instead of `close` and _not_ try again.

I know the $30k mark is germane to the original article but I deliberately refrained from putting a quantifiable value on where this "dependency" tipping point may be. For one, I don't know and two, it probably changes with other variables like location, number of dependents etc. In some areas, I imagine $30k is enough to need no assistance while in others life becomes unmanageable without it.

I would say that most/all subsidies are in place because they are viewed as a social good. I would also say regardless of where that subsidy qualification point is, it can be destabilizing in the fact that it moves people away from self-sufficiency. When people feel financially insecure, they tend to avoid the kinds of choices that may lead to a more stable society...buying a house, starting a family, starting a business, etc.

Maybe I'm 180 degrees off here. There's certainly been an argument that government subsidies make a society more stable and not less. I've heard some even refer to it as "revolution insurance" for that same reason.

Here's a different take on it: subsidies tend to help both the upper and lower ends of the economic strata. The lower benefits directly and, in cases of business elite, they may benefit from effectively being able to maintain lower wages. So who gets pinched? The middle class, which I think most would feel are necessary for a stable society. Some of our biggest gains as a country came from when the middle class made the largest strides. Not sure I know enough to make that claim, but it's one that's bandied about.
This approach doesn't remove boilerplate, the initial version is 8 lines, the final version is 6 lines. Except the final version has a lot of code hidden in helper methods, making it impossible to understand at first glance without reading those helper methods. (LiftA2, chain, Left, Right, Lodash helper methods).

The initial version is also very clear, we have a set of method calls that execute sequentially, and if any of them fail, we go to the catch block and call showError. This indicates that all functions in the try block can throw an error. The final version goes through a lot more trouble yet I don't get any extra information by reading the code. Now I don't even know which functions are error prone because everything is a mix of weird functions like map, chain, and liftA2. The second version also seems to promote more cognitive load. Try-Catch is simple, it doesn't require any brain cells to understand. This approach required an entire blog post. It seems better to dedicate mental energy to more important decisions rather than a simple function that processes CSVs.

I think I understand the benefits of functional programming when one is writing a compiler, but this seems to be a misuse of functional techniques.
It's not. Not even when used as a suffix in 'real' words.

This isn't going to get around the simple economics of coal being more expensive. Natural gas is what is killing coal, but the cost of wind and solar continues to decrease.

The Tennessee Valley Authority is closing 2 coal plants:

And is looking to go solar:

Also an interesting read:

https://energyinnovation.org/publication/the-coal-cost-cross...

"""
Constructing new wind and solar projects would be less expensive than continuing to run 74 percent of existing U.S. coal plants, according to a new study. That number jumps to 86 percent of coal plants by 2025.

It's a shame that there's been little innovation from road bike manufacturers in the past 10 years or so. The last major innovation was aero carbon frames. Since then everyone is just copying each other and trying to improve by fractions of a percent for weight, stiffness, and efficiency.

Most of the value and innovation has shifted to the groupset suppliers, with Shimano taking the lion's share of the market and a few smaller players picking up scraps. When all the important components come from Shimano it barely matters who manufactures the frame and assembles the complete bike.

At this point road bikes are about as good as they will ever be within the limits of available materials and UCI rules. It would be nice if one of the big bike manufacturers would make their own high-quality components to compete with Shimano. Or throw out the UCI rules and build a fast, comfortable bike for customers who don't care about competing in sanctioned races.

The days when someone can start as a janitor or in the mailroom and climb to the top is done.

Companies used to hire everyone in the company. Janitors were part of the company. So was mailroom staff. So were secretaries. Everybody was part of the whole.

Now, companies contract out everything but their core thing. Janitors come from a low-paid 3rd party service. Mailrooms are no longer a thing (there's no such thing as emailrooms, unless you count exchange admins). All those things that allowed somebody to start at the bottom rung in a company and climb up have been systematically destroyed and/or removed.

We don't have to have huge, centralized communication sites where anyone can sign up and post stuff and the operator's shielded from liability for what's posted so long as they subject a bunch of humans to it in order to filter it out, even if there's tons and tons of it posted constantly. We only have to have that in order to keep supporting the current ad-tech business models, which isn't a given.

I'm not saying if Sally starts a forum and it gets hacked and someone posts illegal stuff she should be fined or charged with anything. I'm not saying she should even be in trouble if she gives one person who turns out to be a jerkass posting rights and that person posts illegal stuff. But if she opens up public signups, gets a billion or two users, then says "well I guess I'll just have to pay a bunch of people money to look at all this gore porn that's getting posted" the rest of us should go "uh, no, you should instead just stop".
That depends on your mental model. The isolation and reproducibility of Docker is much easier for me than dealing with build pack nonsesne.
It seems you need to have multiple channels. People tend to drift from one means of comms to another - and you need to chase them.
No.

Slack is ok for chatting and quickly sharing stuff, but not for longer, more thoughtful, drawn out, asynchronous discussions.
I'm in the same boat, but I'm just a contract web developer for a college within a public university. Turns out the university now requires outside "vendors" to provide a Voluntary Product Accessibility Template [0] and they're not allowed to purchase any "products" that aren't WCAG 2.0 AA. The VPAT essentially lists every individual WCAG guideline and asks to what level your "product" is compliant. This came up because my client within the college is trying to get approval for me to make some updates to the site (which I built for them 4 years ago, taking pains for accessibility before they even had a policy about it) to align with new branding guidelines which are also being imposed from above by the university.

I've tried to argue that the VPAT doesn't make any sense because they're not buying a "product" from me, they're paying me to do original work, so if anything they should provide me a VPAT as a form of specification. But the feedback I'm getting is that I should essentially pretend that the "product" is the entire website (including all the content added by college staff over the years), which means I'm supposed to essentially audit every page against the VPAT, or lie and say I did (which I would never do).

My only remaining tack is to appeal to the undue burden they're imposing on my small business.

Never mind that the website I built for the college is demonstrably more accessible than that of the university itself.

Vibrio Vulnificus (“Flesh Eating”) Infections from a Previously Nonendemic Area
I can only speak for places where I've worked and hired folks, but the consensus seemed to be that people who seek out the CEO role are highly correlated with a need to control everything and less well correlated with "team players" (or people who can work with peers in a give and take sort of situation). In acquisition scenarios such companies are sometimes much more keen on keeping the VP of Engineering ("get things done") person than the CEO ("I'm the boss") person.

That and the cited "common knowledge[1]" that the population of CEOs contains a higher percentage of sociopaths than the general population. I have yet to work at a company that considered sociopathic characteristics as a "positive" for the company.

[1] I really have heard this from multiple sources but have yet to find any well executed study that shows it to be actually true so I treat such pronouncements with a bit of skepticism. I have heard more than a few people who are disgruntled at losing their job will blame it on their boss being a sociopath. Such externalization of causes feels good psychologically but it is also self serving.
What a gold nugget!
Placing bolts is allowed at Yosemite (see the bolting policy at the bottom of this page): https://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/climbing_regulations....

The majority of the routes are not bolted (see the breakdown of climb by type on this page): https://www.mountainproject.com/area/105833388/yosemite-vall...

They climbed The Nose, which seems to be a mix of trad (traditional, no fixed holds) and aid (placing temporary protection, then using gear to climb up to the protection, then placing protection, etc.) climbing - more on the different types of climbing here: http://www.alpineinstitute.com/articles/expert-tips/rock-cli....

More on The Nose route: https://www.mountainproject.com/route/105924807/the-nose

More detailed look: http://www.supertopo.com/topos/yosemite/thenose.pdf

You can see in the map of the route that some belay stations are bolted, and in fact the original ascent did use bolts - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nose_(El_Capitan).

> If it's dangerous it should be unlawful

The mountains, the oceans, and the deserts seem to be the last refuges of freedom. I hope that doesn't change.
To carry that example further, you have many people that are willing to pay $3 per widget. But there are barriers to opening a widget factory, such that there is only one widget factory in town. And the owner of that factory only wants to pay worker 50 cents per hour, selling the widgets produced for $3.00. Now total money paid to workers is much lower than if minimum wage is set to $3.00

So the moral of the story is minimum wage should be raised to the point where total employment is still at an acceptable level.
> It is fairly unusual for American not to Anglicise pronunciations

Anecdotal, but I think this is only true for French. For example, I think U.S. Americans (even those with no Latin American ethnic background) are much more likely to pronounce Spanish loanwords in a way that's closer to the original than Brits are.

If my anecdotal belief is correct, I suppose it's largely because of the very close contact between the U.K. and France on the one hand, and the U.S. and Latin America on the other.
Presumably a C-level is expected not to be satisfied with stepping down to a 'lesser' position, especially if those in charge of hiring at bigcos are the types who aspire to C-level status and thus see a rejection of C-level status as a rejection of their whole philosophy.
Or a hungry cat that is used to catching prey. Our cat (on a small farm) used to bring in small rabbits to eat.
What I'm saying is, raising the minimum wage does not make market forces go away. It just changes the input to those forces. Look at San Francisco. Even people who earn far, far above minimum wage have a hard time affording housing there. The existence of high incomes didn't magically make market forces go away.

The only way a market goes away is if the supply of something is so high that it is effectively worthless, because everyone can freely access all they could ever want. For instance, there is no market for breathable air. We can all breathe as much air as we want without impacting the ability of anyone else to do so. Hence, there is no reason for anyone to try to sell air to anyone else (for now, anyway...).
