1. What's the equivalent of HTML5 canvas in Hypercard?

2. Suppose there's a little dataflow drawing program somebody else wrote in Hypercard. I want to add a binding for my own transient card to pop up on keyboard shortcut, gain focus, steal all input events, then go away on another keyboard shortcut (and return input events to their original bindings). How do I do that?

3. Suppose Hypercard flourished into the 90s and early 2000s. How would this alternate-reality Hypercard have dealt with the pop-up ad problem?

I'm sure there are answers to these questions. However, a theoretical Hypercard that solves them-- plus all the other myriad problems that come from existing on a weaponized internet-- would make this tech much closer to the complexity of the modern web than to the original Hypercard.
Walmart does exert massive price pressure on their suppliers, but it's mostly by virtue of the leverage they gain by being so huge that their suppliers need Walmart a lot more than Walmart needs them.

Walmart didn't create or innovate store brands (aka private label) for food; they didn't even start selling food until 1988 or launch Great Value until 1992. Private labels date back to the mid-1800s. [1]

Wait, for those of us who aren't borrowing, how the hell is inflation not a net penalty?
People do think this can be automated- I do. The issue is that some commenters are putting down manual labor while somebody is doing something that benefits the greater population of their town.
The fallout from being able to used to cause people to suffer brain damage when opened also probably contributed
This is a pretty incendiary and bitterness-laden rant. I enjoyed the trip back in time but the last paragraph, for me, pretty much nullified any actual points the author was trying to make.
Tesla Employee #7 Has Built a $1B Business That Make Batteries Run Longer
In US lingo, that would be referred to as an adjustable rate, like "5/1 ARM" (fixed for five years, then adjusts each [one] year). When they say "fixed" in the US, they mean fixed for the full term.

I'm honestly surprised that became the standard, it seems like a lot of risks for the banks for what they're getting. I think it has something to do with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac preferring to buy some mortgages and absorb the risk?

Yes, but mainly because you have identified the wrong differences.

Go is fast, because it is statically typed and compiled. But this requires a good understanding of programming or your program will simply not run. Learning Go as a first language is hard.

Python is slow, because it is dynamically typed and interpreted. This makes Python easier and more forgiving to beginners. Learning Python as a first language is much easier.

One is Meccano, the other is Duplo.

What you've said doesn't make sense as they have different aims and target markets as languages.

What happened with Python is the it got adopted by academics, amateur programmers, who a decade or two ago needed an easy language as they first started experimenting using programming in their fields. So Python ended up with a huge number of specialist libraries.

Now they are experienced, a lot of academics want a fast one and Go fits that niche better than C/C++ (hard, easy to make very bad mistakes) or Java/C# (complicated, need compilation and deployment).
Most (all?) of the Federal Reserve banks have a money museum attached to them, and they will generally have a few stacks of money in various denominations that total $1,000,000.

1 million $1 bills is really large. The $20 bills would fit in a suitcase. The $100 bills fit into a briefcase, which will have a clear plastic cover over it so you can take pictures of yourself holding a million dollars in a briefcase.

FYI: They also give away bags of shredded cash, which you can then use as baller confetti at your kids' birthday parties.
Yes they should not be mandatory. I think the intention is good, and honestly once you socialise a bit especially with other departments it can break down some walls, but at the same time people should be forced to go, and companies should be careful to communicate that it’s not compulsory. Maybe there should be something for introverts too that is fun for them to look forward too. But that might look more like a present eg a weekend holiday for them and their family.
Apple buys Intel’s modem business
And the Intel performance boost on the first released devices was substantial, as the laptops were still running G4s. So anything that relied on the translation layer was usable.

If the ARM chips don't meet Intel peak performance, and I suspect they won't, you're in for a bad time going through similar system.
I'm deathly afraid of another recession. I want to go back to school, but getting into a good one is a no go at this point and I couldn't afford it anyway.
There's a huge difference between saying someone sucks at their job and being able to point at specific failures and illustrating a pattern of behavior. One is constructive, the other is rude.
Make sure they have a regular time when they are in charge of their time and tasks.
it really depends on your risk appetite. the conservative investor will want downside protection against rare market collapses that last for decades (e.g., 1929).

investors typically get more conservative as they get older, so your advice might be ok for most 25 year olds, but not for most 65 year olds. the conventional wisdom then is to hold increasing proportions of weakly/negatively correlated securities like bonds in your portfolio as you get older, particularly through downturns.

and the s&p500 is a reasonable basket of equities, but it's not perfectly representative of the asset class either, since it's composed of primarily large cap domestic stocks. it doesn't include any startup equities, for instance.
Some standard stuff: high savings rate, aggressive career progression to stay ahead, no specialization (which might get oversaturated e.g. all these new ML programs that colleges spin up).
Business and engineering rarely goes hand in hand. So you made something that never wear and tear, boss orders you to redo the formula so it has to be replaced more often, resulting in more sales. Or you made something that enables the user to create infinitely amounts of what your company sell, boss tells you to erase all copies of it. etc.
I'm convinced this is not just about suits, and also bear in mind that a lot of women will wear suits or skirt-suits - I've worked in office environments for almost 20 years, but where men in suits isn't really a thing; men wear a shirt, and very seldom a tie, and the women are kind of smart-casual.

I've noticed that the vast majority of women are complaining of being cold, whereas the men are complaining of being too hot. I've noted the same with female partners too - they always seem to be cold when I'm hot.

My guess is this is a function of 2 things:

1. Body mass
2. Hormones

Regarding body mass, the outliers on both sides (men that feel cold, and women that feel hot) tend to be small and slim men, and taller and larger women.
We would. And lots of other companies would.
I don't see anyone arguing otherwise? pseudolus' point is that Border Collies are mostly not good pets, and terrible first dogs. If you want to do agility or flyball or something active for an hour a day, they excel, and you'll both be very happy...

"Biro" is British Isles (and elsewhere?, but not US) slang for a ballpoint pen, from László Bíró, the inventor of the modern ballpoint pen.
Back when you had to download porn in multiple parts off newsgroups, because otherwise they were too big to fit on a 1.44mb diskette
I feel like I can't go one day without reading somewhere on the internet where someone mentions the DK effect. If anything, it's a prime example of group think. It sounds clever, and is probably true in a ton of cases, and so people repeat it. Over and over. The same is true of occams razor. These are just ideas, not intellectual vistas.
Incredibly in Australia there are impact events recorded in indigenous oral tradition dating back thousands of years.

Indeed, Lambek was one of the founders of categorical grammer, and from the article:

""" Around 2004 I was giving a talk at
the McGill category Theory seminar about our then new diagrammatic description of quantum teleportation. Lambek immediately pointed out:
“Those are pre-groups!” The compact closed category-theory underpinning
of quantum theory, have indeed pregroups as the posetal instance. It was this
connection, between grammar and teleportation diagrams, that inspired the
DisCoCat model, making it look as if word-meaning being teleported around
in sentences by means of the channels provided by the pregroup grammar """
Agreed. I would also argue that spreadsheets serve much of the role that HyperCard was trying to, including many of the problems that a world built on HyperCard would have had. Enormous democratization of computing for the use-cases that can be understood without programming skills, and also enormous amounts of fragility as applications are cobbled together from loose components.
Fee for service increases the amount of services performed. On the surface that provides additional value in terms of more services performed so greater coverage with fewer doctors.

That goes against the government who may want to limit the number of services because of budgets. So services not under government watch are over ordered and services under ration are underordered.

On the patient side you are not getting the best medicine you are getting medicine that pays the most fees.
You seem to me to be implying that truly happy employees want to crank out long hours at work because the work makes them happy. But I find after a certain number of hours without a break you work can be a net negative. Mistakes, bad decisions etc. Also big missions are like multi marathons and you definitely don’t want to keep sprinting them. And not to mention people with outside work commitments such as children, sick relatives, community commitments, or just plain hobbies and travel etc. Do you want non rounded burned out staff on an important mission? I get it for startup founders you need to put in lots of hours. But hiring a big team of long hours workers seems counter productive.
Did he ever mention the name of the class?
Neither did I - but evidently, even the Romans were already fed up with pencils rolling away on tables. Pencils with a square cross-section are uncomfortable in the hand, and I suspect a pentagonal pencil to be hard to manufacture because it has no parallel sides. So a hexagon seems like the perfect compromise!

Total stock market index funds are about as good as it gets right now, given the capacities of most people and their lack of interest in investing.
This is very similar to what we do at Klarrio: https://www.confluent.io/kafka-summit-lon19/talking-traffic-...
Loper-os seems to suffer from the same problems as a lot of "unix hater"/lisp weenie types: while he does point out real flaws in the computing of today, he seriously lacks in a competent, coherent, non-vaporware alternative. His blog is now nothing but bloviating about bitcoin
People love to think they’re really smart and post a Wikipedia link to DK, Occam’s razor, submarine PR, etc. whenever they think it’s vaguely related because they think it makes them look clever. They’re not.
Also we use sacrificial anodes that are designed to rust away and be easily replaced.
This kind of pedantry doesn't add anything to the discussion. We all know big-O notation is a theoretical abstraction.
If you're looking for books for older children, e.g. 9-13, The Boy Who Reversed Himself, The Man Who Counted and The Number Devil, which are listed here, are fantastic.

For the younger audience, e.g. 6-9, I suggest the Math Adventures books, e.g. Sir Cumference and the Isle of Immeter, which are illustrated and introduce mathematical concepts in a fun and subtle way.
Moreover, the original point of Sturgeon was not a simple dismissal of "90% of everything" but his dismissal of any informativeness in somebody's similar claim for anything specific (he wrote about the art forms):

"I repeat Sturgeon's Revelation, which was wrung out of me after twenty years of wearying defense of science fiction against attacks of people who used the worst examples of the field for ammunition, and whose conclusion was that ninety percent of SF is crud. Using the same standards that categorize 90% of science fiction as trash, crud, or crap, it can be argued that 90% of film, literature, consumer goods, etc. is crap. In other words, the claim (or fact) that 90% of science fiction is crap is ultimately uninformative, because science fiction conforms to the same trends of quality as all other art forms."
Well, if they didn't call, their chance of getting a refinance sale was 0.0% Then, as now, sales is a numbers game.

But interestingly, D-K isn't a symmetric-about-median effect; which is what you'd expect from scale-end effects alone. The D-K finding was that people tend to estimate themselves closer to roughly the 70th percentile than they actually are.
Purescript (purs) is in unstable now as well
Premise 1 is false. A clown is not "that for which no greater horror can be conceived". In order to be so, he would have to be omnipotent (less powerful = less scary), eternal (able to induce constant horror), necessarily self-existing (can't be killed), etc -- in short, God.

This is actually proof for God and the doctrine of Hell.
I open them in Brave and it seems to work. Incognito doesn't work for me anymore.
You are either involved in hiring and can remove useless people or you are not and shouldn't care what others are doing.
At least in the UK, pants is about where the simplicity ends :(

For T-shirts, sizing is an arbitrary XS, S, M, L, XL etc. Most times, I'm a L, but often an M is too small and an XL is ridiculously big - it really is arbitrary.

For shirts, it's based on the neck size. Which is a bastard, as a I have a large neck, so shirts that I can actually button up are extremely baggy on me :/
My guess is that it's related to the saying, "If you run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. If you run into assholes all day, you are the asshole."
One of the great scams of the late 20th century.

Kill the Messenger (1) has a bit about this where the CIA was funding the Contras by pushing cocaine through the US. One of Oscar Blandon's minions describes hotel rooms full of cash and they had to have people circulate the money from the top to the bottom to prevent mold.

I've always thought Dunning-Kruger is kind of bullshit. (I realize the irony in stating this.)

In the study a bunch of people took four tests and then estimated their score RELATIVE TO OTHER TEST TAKERS. That's bullshit!

The test takers were 65 Cornell psychology undergraduates. Cornell is a great university. All 65 test takers are probably super smart! In fact, that might have all scored quite similarly. Forcing 65 high performers to estimate their relative score is bullshit. That's impossible! You don't have enough information about the other test takers.

I think it would be far more interesting if test takers estimated their absolute score. Whether that score is better or worse than other test takers is irrelevant.

But what do I know. I'm probably just incompetent and don't know it.
The only problem I've found most annoying on using background-image on the CSS files is that you're bloating the CSS for nothing. You can inline that background file and remove a lot of KBs (assuming you use lots of backgrounds). The SEO part to me became irrelevant long time ago since all the traffic is driven by ad campaigns.
Just thought I'd add that I was diagnosed with adrenal fatigue by a medical doctor. I was pretty annoyed, after researching it, because it seemed entirely pseudo-scientific.

In reality I had stress-induced depression with a high degree of physical fatigue as one of the symptoms. When I stopped being depressed, my fatigue went away. Adrenal fatigue is nonsense.

Sky CREDIT SOLUTION fixed my credit
Have you wondered what it feels like living with a low fico score? it’s something that really sucks. I couldn’t get loan from the bank due to my low credit score due to evictions, collections. things weren’t going on well, it got to a point that i had to meet a friend for help so I can pay my children’s tuition fee, so he told me about SKY CREDIT SOLUTION. When I contacted them, it took them just 6 days to increase my credit score from 470 to 725 and the eviction and all items in collections were removed. They have proved so many times why they are the best, all the reviews about them are really true I am a living proof. Call/text/email: (620) 399 6316/ SKYCREDITSOLUTION247@GMAIL.COM. Get your life back. It matters a lot.
For most companies these fun events are optional, although the expectation is that while individual events aren't mandatory, everyone is expected to attend at least a few or if not there should either be a good reason. For most companies there should be a variety of events so that there should at least be a few events that every person is genuinely excited to go to (and importantly these events shouldn't all involve drinking). Some examples of events that my company has run are cooking class, escape the room, pumpkin carving, meditation, weekend hackathon, volunteering (I think the last one was running bingo night), picnic at a park, happy hour, sports league teams (soccer, volleyball and basketball), boat rides, team dinners. We have a decent number of engineers that miss many of these events because of parental responsibilities or travel times, but everyone should be able to do a few of these, especially when some are done in the office during work hours. The point is that there should be a number of inclusive events where you get to know your colleagues on a personal level. And to your main complaint, why should you be expected to attend a few of these events? These events build trust and relationships between employees, especially ones that wouldn't normally have relationships such as one between finance and engineering or for security/compliance and any other department. The relationships that are built are important for work between multiple departments or teams and typically help provide context for projects. These team events are designed to prevent feuding departments/political battles, allow for backchannels for when there are issues that one can't show to your management, and generally allow for better prioritization and better understanding of context behind projects/tickets (ie if Business Operations comes to you with a request you are more likely to go through and understand the context if it's someone you know).
You can absolutely learn math on your own. Many of the most well-known mathematicians, engineers, and scientists were largely self-taught. Examples include da Vinci, Watt, Edison, the Wright Brothers, Heaviside, Ampere, Boole, Galileo, Pascal, Leibniz, and Ramanujan. The learning materials available to those guys were vastly inferior to what we have today. In fact, you could take yourself very far using nothing more than Wikipedia coupled with a divide-and-conquer approach. If you want to understand a topic, do a Wikipedia search on it. There are usually some good references and links at the bottom of the page that can help with further background and intuition. Never be intimidated by the complexity. Every complex topic can be broken down into simple, easy-to-understand pieces. For every subtopic in the description that you don't understand, click on its link, read, and repeat. Eventually, your subtopic dive should reach a low enough level that you can grasp the concept and use it to understand the previous higher-level topic. For each concept, you should develop an intuitive understanding that goes along with the formalism. Try to visualize every concept in some way. Use mental animations, graphs, sounds, colors, etc. One of the tricks is that you should only focus on learning a small number of new concepts every day (maybe 5 to 7 at most). A night's sleep will help you consolidate those concepts and build on them. For even the most accomplished mathematicians, there are papers that they don't understand at first glance. They must go through their own divide-and-conquer process to grasp unfamiliar concepts.
>BTW this is normal. Historically, negative real returns on stores of value were the norm. Before financial systems existed, almost all investments had negative returns if you didn’t put work and energy into them

Here is my favorite snarky rebuttal to Anselm’s ontological argument:

“The worst proof, by definition, is worse than any other proof that could possibly be conceived. If such a proof exists in understanding, then surely it must be an even worse proof if it exists in reality. Therefore, the worst proof must already exist in reality”
Headline writing has been a skill since long before there were clicks.

Sure, headlines can veer into the misleading and there are certain particularly annoying online patters. But the whole purpose of a headline is to entice you to read.
But what's to say it wouldn't have taken the course of HTML/CSS/JS if it ever got similarly popular?
I'm quite often rude to others at work and I freely admit it.

Reason: ofc I feel I am justified to be so. Just like everybody else I feel I am right.

I am not rude to everybody. Just people who don't want to carry their weight but want an equal share of the pie.

I am rude to Project "Managers" who only assign story points in jira. To product owners who always side with the external client and dump the technical team under a bus for the smallest things. With managers that think we can maintain full speed all year round. With hiring people who only care about getting the head hunting fee. Etc.

I am also a 3x productivity wise. Have not been matched in any of my jobs. (Spoiler: never worked at google or anything like that). Always on the edge of burnout.

Am I toxic or am I just blunt? Depend on who you ask. Am I to be promoted or fired? The same. One thing more I should note: the same people who make HR complaints behind my back ask me to help them with things that are not in my job description nor are documented work.
While I have not looked into drop shipping in any extensive way, the flaw in the premise to me is that there are seemingly huge lead times (at least with regard to when sourcing from AliExpress or similar). Any idea how people who actually do this professionally mitigate that?
