Instead of that nasty ceramic blanket and that reflective tape why not just use ceramic tile? Its cheap, easy to find locally, and will work better. True, it will be heavier, but it would be easier to maintain a consistent temperature. Another alternative would be the ceramic cement products like FiberFrax. It dries solid, so no floating fibers to be concerned with.
Blender was always somewhat looked down upon, from my own experience seeking resources online. Hopefully this changes people's opinions.
The point of writing this script is to follow up by replacing each function's implementation with code that automates the step. Using a data-driven design here ossifies the code and makes it harder to migrate the automated version.
The music room has dampening mats on the walls to stop too much sound from escaping. It also has amps, drums, guitar stands etc. A purpose built room is awesome.

Forbes is a trash publication, living on its historical reputation to vomit SEO spam all over the internet. A good recent example:

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/21/business/media/jeffrey-ep...

“The article on the Forbes website was attributed to Drew Hendricks, a contributing writer. As The Times revealed in an article last week, he was not the author of the piece. Instead, it was delivered to him by a public relations firm, and he said he was paid $600 to attach his byline and post it at Forbes.com.”

That being said, Google absolutely encourages this behavior because Forbes is very often at the top of search results.
Is this meant to be a rebuttal? It's entirely compatible with the parent comment...

>It's mostly comprised of content that is static in its nature

Yes, but the readers of the content are not the only customers the site is built for. The people writing and editing content are also consumers of the site. The article isn't (and doesn't have to be) interactive, but the CMS on the backend is. The advertiser's portal is. The reporting dashboards are.

Just like how Ruby on Rails is slow but we deal with it because it makes programming so much faster, dynamic websites are slow but we deal with it because it makes their administration so much faster.

Airlines will never adopt these seats en masse until people show a willingness to pay more for them. That isnt how airlines work - they are cargo companies, not customer service companies, and adding millions of dollars in expense so the cheapest customers feel better doesnt fit the model. People in the middle seat fly less often, are more price conscious, and generally dont matter to airlines because there is no loyalty by those customers.

(250k flying miles a year here)
Agreed. It makes me think they might have used that selection criteria specifically in order to provide an out-sized visualization about the impact of immigration on the founding of US companies. Seeing the actual numbers on the the founder-level would be more informative and probably also let me shed my doubts about whether or not those who created the study were doing it a biased manner.

I also think it's weird that Amazon was counted as "child of an immigrant". He was adopted as a child by his immigrant step-father after his mother's marriage - but he definitely would have been in America regardless of immigration policy...
> but the real solution in my opinion is to relegate a few rows with only 2 seats for overweight people, priced accordingly

Don't planes generally already have this? Most planes I have been on have the business class (or whatever it is called) seats at the front, with just two seats beside eachother, and then the rest of the plane being three seats. I guess it is not targeted at people who are overweight, but it is available.
The customer can and will perceive bugs. E.g., I used to own an MP3 player that would crash regularly. Everybody can notice that a crashing MP3 player is lacking in quality. What is more difficult is knowing who in the team contributed to a good or to a bad result and who of the programmers was a dead weight on the team. One really needs to know a lot about programming to say anything useful about that.

I agree that what the user can tell is the most important attribute of quality. There is is another important matter, though. This is how easy it is to modify the software. Good code can relatively easily be extended to incorporate new features and bad code makes this as difficult as possible.
its odd when you say "hard to work on any other problem" given the mere possibility of agi.

consider that the possibility of annhiliation is already a very real and present danger (nuclear weapons) by human beings. not to mention anything of the existential nature of what we are doing to the environment.

The article writes:

> Anaxagoras was arrested, tried and sentenced to death, ostensibly for breaking impiety laws while promoting his ideas about the moon and sun.

This provides the context to understand that while the title is true at a surface level, his claims around the moon likely served as pretext rather than true cause.

You write:

> Its exactly analogous to claiming James Watson was attacked because people didn't like the chemical bond structure of DNA.

I disagree. An exact analogy would require that James Watson was actually attacked for his belief in the structure of DNA, which served as a pretext for the real claims against him. James Watson was attacked directly for his views on race.

I found that the cost of transit subtracted substantially from the benefit of Ryanair. They tend to fly from out-of-the-way airports, requiring an additional transportation link. It wasn't very expensive, nor are other airports exactly downtown, either. But between the money and the time, it shifted me away from Ryanair on some legs.
I bet you get a lot of crotch in the face for your actions. Hot, seething, sweaty crotch from every person in the middle seat. The reason people choose civility is that eventually everyone benefits. Lack of civility immediately makes it worse for everyone. People in planes are already miserable, no reason to make it worse unless you enjoy causing others misery, which says more about you than anyone else.
This is a bad argument, because there are many other remote employers.

I do not live in a low CoL area because I'm from here and never left, nor did I move here to save money. I moved here because I was able to keep a high paying career, and live somewhere I wanted to live.

Staggered seats feels gimmicky.

I'm 6'1" and all I want is like 2 more inches of knee room, like planes used to have, so that when the person in front of me drops their seat back it doesn't go right onto my knees. I have nowhere to go other than widening my stance and encroaching on the people on either side. The new ultra thin / no pading seats some airlines use really hurt when they land on your knees.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/flights/todayinthesky/...

"[Average length has decreased from] 35 inches before airline deregulation in the 1970s to about 31 inches today. During the same period, the average width of seats declined from 18 to 16.5 inches..."
This configuration probably wins them 2 seats or something.

I doubt it has anything to do passenger comfort; else as you said they would have addressed the armrests issue.

I dream of the day that like fat people can have two chairs next to each other, tall people can have the chair in front of them removed for leg space. :+)

Parliament and nobility literally got together to a) ban unionisation b) fix wages at an unfairly low level c) punish anyone who refused to work at the wages that were fixed below market d) refused to work for an employer who treated him unfairly.

And that cycle has repeated itself all the way through to the 21st Century (Bay View Massacre, etc)

IF you don't think the wealthy actively work to suppress the working classes indirectly or directly, you are truly naive.
Chris Urmson: Self-Driving Cars
Advising against sleep(), cronjobs, etc. seems insane to me, and I don't understand the rationale here. Wanting to yield until there's more work to do (or poll periodically), or run things on a schedule that need run on a schedule, etc. are all very common and very valid use cases. Unless the author's recommending using something else?

Maybe that's just because I'm a poor programmer, though :)

EDIT: I guess in the context of waiting for something to asynchronously finish happening, it'd be more ideal to check for an actual indication of success (e.g. via an await, or by listening for a response message) instead of doing a sleep(5) and hoping for the best. Unfortunately, there are disturbingly many scenarios where that ain't exactly possible (or it's "possible" but not practical), especially when interfacing with external systems written by poor programmers :)

Still, the author should probably clarify how the "cronjobs are bad" opinion fits into that context, because without further elaboration it sounds really silly.

I can remember asking my mail delivery person if they could stop delivering all the junk mail as it was truly unwanted. They looked at me like I had lost my mind and told me that was what paid their salary. I asked if they could return the junk mail to the sender they said not possible. You'd think they would gladly send it back because it paid their salary twice in that instance!
The Chinese I have met and who became my friends all mostly refuse to talk/mention politics. They ones that answer questions all do so without pushing but they add that really they could not care less about politics; their life has been moving upward steadily and they really do not want or need to know about anything unless that changes. One of my friends says he knows about HK but they do not talk about it because it is meaningless; they cannot do anything, take risk and really believe HK will enjoy the same standard of life upgrades as the mainlanders did. I know only techies and usually those are less politically inclined in ‘free’ countries as well in my experience.

I prefer window, and I get window basically every time.

Airline "Southwest" allocates most seats based on when you click "check in". If you check in earlier, your boarding position is closer to first, and your chance of getting a desired seat goes way up. You can pay extra to board earlier ("Early bird") for $15. They don't have classes (there is no "first class" or business or coach) but you can pay for other features like cash-refundable tickets or boarding first.

Airline "Delta" simply lets you book your seat, so if you buy reasonable early, you can book a desired seat.

For other airlines, if the cost to upgrade to a window seat is on the order of $10-15, then I do it.

So I think your experience is limited to a small number of airlines, and your description of the OP as "childish" is poor.

Lowering the seat will also make it quite a bit worse for people with long legs. The height of the usual seats is already too low. It would be better if they raised the middle seat instead but I guess that adds cost/weight.
I sometimes use GitHub for this. A developer's most up to date keychain is probably their GitHub account, so granting them access is as simple as

I don’t have kids, neither do I participate in fraud activities, but it always depresses me when someone thinks that they can dismiss someones requirements for not having a family. Of course that will be abused, because most people don’t give a single fuck about our life. If a family guy needs X to feed a family, it doesn’t mean that I’m okay with X/2 and should just shut up and work harder to achieve the same amount. It is yet another wrong cycle, of which our root comment talks.

Gitlab's idea of market norms is "market where you live + us, literally the only company that hires remote in the world".

Spoiler: that only works hiring those who are ignorant of the remote employment market.
Yep, “fully”. There are no shades of grey around these parts. Just the bucket of countries that contain people and then the bucket that doesn’t.
When you live in a balanced society that frequently exposes you to interactions with kids, you don't get annoyed by their chaos. I can't feel sorry for anyone that isolates himself/herself from this part of normal life and then gets annoyed.
I think it’s also the realization of a supply problem. A lot of companies around the world cannot compete on compensation with the larger tech companies in the Bay Area, and many people don’t want to move there, so it’s win-win.

What if somebody in SF was employed remotely by a company in a poorer country? Should the person in SF be paid less because employees in originating country have lower salaries?. Having salaries based on location is fair, the same job that pays 120k$ in SF pays 70k$ in my country and that makes me in top 2% earners in the country. I could argue that i actually get more with 70k$ in my country than somebody with 120k$ in SF.

I have a hypothesis related to this. I believe that surviving being a child refugee in America is something that really brings out the grit in a person. Seeing the things your family goes through to provide a normal life for you in a strange and new place, overcoming ethnic biases, language barriers, and life on government assistance really brings out the attitudes of drive and perseverance toward reaching one's goals.

I'd be curious to see how the likeliness of refugees to reach higher income brackets over their lives compares to native-born Americans.
I think you guys are genuinely trying to better humanity, I have no reason to doubt that.

I wish you realized how big and thick of a bubble you live in, and how your thinking is so heavily influenced by it.

I'm rooting for you, believe me. It's just hard to read or hear certain things and not roll my eyes up.
> The way they handle companies with > 1 founder is a bit weird. If there is at least one immigrant / 1st gen American it's counted in the "founded by" category. And then the 45% is taken by looking at things just at the company level.

Ah! I saw the 45% number and immediately wondered if this particular statistical slight of hand was being used. Thank you.
Japan, Korea, Germany are also in line and also India (with successful space program without immigrants). There are many countries which are successful without immigrants, some of them are even democracies.

Soon (hopefully) the Pi 4 will be able to completely boot off USB 3.0 devices; right now you can partially boot off an external volume, but /boot still has to be on a microSD card.

Though in my testing, it's still not a night-and-day performance difference, if judged by the Pi 3B+. I am not sure if the Pi 4's USB 3.0 port bandwidth will give that much of an improvement.

Sure, we all agree. Here the gov/police is orchestrating the violence, so I guess we also agree they don't want to prevent it.
