That one is usually right, though.

The video games industry is known for being a ruthless meat-grinder of human beings and human potential. The indie market is known for being a black hole where even good, well advertised projects vanish into without making a dime, never to be seen.
4 year sentence for weed, I assume it's a huge quantity
> While there are certainly advantages to breast feeding, it is not necessary.

Sure, but it does have positive health benefits for mom and baby and is cheaper than formula. In order to continue to breast feed the baby to two years (as recommended by the WHO), the mother needs to actually breastfeed the baby. Using pumps can result in milk supply lowering, not because pumping is incapable of keeping up milk supply, but because without the hunger cues of a newborn, the mother doesn't typically pump as much and as long as a newborn would. Moreover, the oxytocin from holding the newborn and the hormones released when the newborn cries keep the mother's supply up. There is no way to replicate this in an office. It requires a baby.

My solution to this 'problem' is to create a society in which moms can stay home with their babies and simultaneously, for those women who choose to work, normalize bringing your child to work. Not only does this keep mom and baby together, but it also means there will be adorable babies in offices everywhere.
> Why Not Lossy Compression?

> Although humans cannot compress losslessly, they are very good at lossy compression: remembering that which is most important and discarding the rest. Lossy compression algorithms like JPEG and MP3 mimic the lossy behavior of the human perceptual system by discarding the same information that we do. For example, JPEG codes the color signal of an image at a lower resolution than brightness because the eye is less sensitive to high spatial freqencies in color. But we clearly have a long way to go. We can now compress speech to about 8000 bits per second with reasonably good quality. In theory, we should be able to compress speech to about 20 bits per second by transcribing it to text and using standard text compression programs like zip.

> Humans do poorly at reading text and recalling it verbatim, but do very well at recalling the important ideas and conveying them in different words. It would be a powerful demonstration of AI if a lossy text compressor could do the same thing. But there are two problems with this approach.

> First, just like JPEG and MP3, it would require human judges to subjectively evaluate the quality of the restored data.

> Second, there is much less noise in text than in images and sound, so the savings would be much smaller. If there are 1000 different ways to write a sentence expressing the same idea, then lossy compression would only save log2 1000 = about 10 bits. Even if the effect was large, requiring compressors to code the explicit representation of ideas would still be fair to all competitors.

I thought Office 365 gave you the desktop apps as well as the online versions. That doesn't sound like Microsoft dumping Office, rather pushing its customers into a subscription.
Yeah, right, exactly.

Does it really surprise you that there are people who find that idea of life worse than death?

I would sooner end myself. I'm very grateful that people who find such an existence fulfilling exist.
Not from a user search perspective. That's an awesome search feature. And for all the website that aren't trying to monetize, like my personal blog, or wikipedia, it also isn't a problem, and a great feature to have, which might be argued serves the greater good and improves the internet by making finding free flow of information easier.

I think we need to go back a little and think. When the internet started, if you wanted to monetize your website, and attract users, what would you do? There were no search engines. Nowadays, people claim they're at the mercy of Google, but it's more that their very existence and business model was enabled and made viable by Google. Since it seems, without Google, no one would find them and visit their website. In that sense, I find it hard to say Google is taking things away, it seems more like Google is giving and giving, sometimes, it gives less, and sometimes it gives more.

Bankruptcy occurs when your debt exceeds your ability to it off. I suppose that would be the point at which it's easier and cheaper to write new code than try to fix the old code. The debt can no longer be paid back. That said, somehow there are still COBOL programs running, so even though that program should shut its doors and liquidate any useful assets, real world money prevents that from happening.
Same here. Those things get toasty. I accidentally placed a RPi3 (passively cooled but with a metal case) on top of my USG once and it got hot enough not just to throttle it, but also to cause HDMI artifacting.

Why is it so unreasonable that Canadians should have any newspaper that shows a right-leaning viewpoint? It's not like you can call the National Post "extreme" by any stretch of the imagination.

I miss having a good index site. Yahoo's gone, DMOZ shut down. We need a good human-curated index that's not bound to ad spend or SEO nonsense. I don't want to know about "long-tail keywords", I want to know if the site has good content that serves eithet a need or an interest. Now, if it so happens that websites with valuable content also have SEO valuable, that means the search engine algorithm is optimized correctly. But we need humans.

Fun fact! SVG is one of those things that is often easy to minify down below your nginx/apache/cdn minimum gzip length.

If your SVG files are < ~1kb, it's usually faster to just not gzip them.
If they're < ~150b, gzipping will probably make both slower _and_ bigger.

A big part of technical debt is that often... you just don't have to pay. This is what makes the comparison to financial debt a very poor one.

Whenever I'm moving from one framework to another I find loads of todos I can now delete. Or even if I have a well designed class, if I can find a nice third party library that does the exact same thing, I can now get rid of all that useless code and any debt around it.

Honestly I think calling it technical 'debt' makes programmers unreasonably averse to it, but unfortunately I haven't been able to come up with a better term.

No I don't think so. Thanks for pointing that out.

IIRC, I eventually removed nosnippet because it caused google to not display microdata in SERP (see the "$25.99 to $99.80" in the above screenshot) that were desirable for my traffic. I instead replaced nosnippet with:

```
<meta name="robots" content="noarchive">
```

And this seemed to have the same effect as nosnippet, but with the added benefit of my microdata still being displayed in SERP.
I figured a year was a decent interval...
The righteousness of your post reminds me of the climax of a Disney movie.

Google does this all the time, on purpose, like clockwork. They aren't the only ones out there looking for zero days in their supply chain, but they're the only ones who ignore a vendors disclosure policy and substitute their own.

For example; If Google finds a bug in your product YOU get 90 days before they put you on blast in front of 8 billion people.

But if you find a bug in GOOGLE'S product and put them on blast YOU will find yourself in court.

Does anyone remember the last time Microsoft or Apple went looking for zero days to drop in public on their blog about Google? They don't. Because they're professional companies with better shit to do than stir the pot.

This has NOTHING to do wit supply chain security and EVERYTHING to do with putting heat on their competition. That is why PZ exists. If that weren't true PZ would be looking at non-competing products with large user bases. WordPress comes to mind. But Google doesn't compete with WordPress, so they'll never focus on it.
And the downfall of AOL was Google because Google had a better product. In order for google to fall, you need a product that's better (or more of what people want; you need to give them a reason to change their search engine).
that is correct and should be considered copyright infringement... I am so tired of the double standard in the US of people VS corporations... Corporations are considered better people then real people.
Maybe a little of both haha? I mean it is ridiculous how many services you need to bring together for a basic web app. On the other hand, I like that the React ecosystem is composed of a lot of services that each do one thing really well. So not sure a big monolithic framework is the answer. So this was kind of my attempt at a solution.

Removing One Maine Dam 20 Years Ago Changed Everything
Thomas Sowell, wrote a great book in 1995 about the phenomenon you describe. The Vision of the Anointed lays out this problematic tendency. It was quite prevalent 100 years ago as anxiety arose about the industrial revolution (radio, telephone, automobile), and labor moved from the farm (14hr days during half of the year) to the factory.

“Yet a polemical tactic has developed which enables virtually any general statement, however true, to be flatly denied, simply because it is not 100 percent true in all circumstances...Even in the days of Stalin, to make a distinction between the Communist world and the free world was to invite sarcastic dismissals of this distinction, based upon particular inadequacies, injustices, or restrictions found in “the so-called ‘free world,’ ” as the intelligentsia often characterized it, which kept it from being 100 percent free, democratic, and just.”

P.S. Wonderful New Yorker piece. I'll be surprised if you don't get some serious job offers from pretty high-class sites as a result.
Thanks for reading!

>But you miss to state what the offer was, it seems to me you knew from the start you were going to pay US $ 95.55 for 3.5 hours of "house cleaning" at 26,00 each.

>Or was the offer (say) 1 hour and it took 3.5 hours?

>Or was the offer only stating the rate of 26,00 per hour?

It's the latter. Each TaskRabbit contractor charges a different hourly rate and you pay them for however long the job takes.

>Namely, if you decide to outsource something, you should outsorce it to a professional, which will charge you - say - 90 US$ per hour to do professional keyboard cleaning (in one hour time) and won't have you around during the process.

I'm not sure I understand this feedback. As far as I'm aware, there are no professional keyboard cleaning services that deliver turnaround time of less than one hour and costs only $90. I don't think there are even professional keyboard cleaning services period.

The PSU's rating is for its potential to supply power, whilst draw components (CPUs, disk, etc.) are rated by use.

The actual efficiency is defined by capacity, load, and miscellaneous other factors, but should be in the neighbourhood of 20% of delivered power.

If the system idles at ~100 watts, the PSU might add another 20-30 to the mix, not 750.

Having been there, I would say the feeling of being "fancy" while ordering, but needing to order cheap without needing to tip and pay for delivery. For something so cheap and so little expendable cash, the delivery cost is high.

I've also noticed more affluent people not tipping when hanging out with them for rides or food delivery, while people in the industry do absolutely tip.
I think it's pretty clear that there are often, clearly, no right answers to a lot of questions.

The answer to "Does my system need to handle 1M concurrent users?" could be "Yes", "No", "Not for the foreseeable future" or even "I don't know".

Given that 'debt' is a way to, in effect, allocate (possible) future resources today, it's pretty clear why it's valuable, especially in the face of uncertainty.

I'm not sure you can say that we ceased destruction of the Ozone layer. Certainly slowed, and in some cases ozone is increasing but not universally. Ozone levels in the upper levels have been slowly increasing, but the lower levels are still being depleted and there is evidence of an increase of short-lived ozone depleting substances.

https://www.cnx-software.com/2019/02/16/wch-ch572-risc-v-mcu...

And since risc-v has versions somewhere around 5K-10K gates, well, a lower end mcu isn't far, probably.

Still, it would be interesting to think how we can get from that, to standard peripherals, and standard pinouts, used by at least 2 mcu makers. That would be interesting.
The CPU was $1700. The entire setup is now less.
Ask HN: For a note taking app, would you prefer standalone desktop or a web app?
I am in the planning phase of a note taking app project, which I will be writing in Python (backend - Flask probably).

For the frontend I am deciding between making it for desktop and solving the cross-platfom issues later (if I decide to make it cross-platform).. and making it in ReactNative.

My issue is.. I've never liked note taking apps in the browser. They feel impersonal and "un-safe". For example, I am able to write long documents in LibreOffice or Evernote, but I would never write a journal entry in a web interface, I am too paranoid for that.

So, for my question:
For a note taking app, would you prefer standalone desktop or a web app?

Toxic masculinity: "The concept of toxic masculinity is used in psychology and media discussions of masculinity to refer to certain cultural norms that are associated with harm to society and to men themselves."
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxic_masculinity

It's not the same as misandry. "Homophobia" sounds like it means "afraid of homosexuals" but that is incorrect. "Toxic masculinity" kind of sounds like it means "all masculinity is toxic" but that is incorrect.

I am female, have been diagnosed with anxiety and depression, have been to therapy, and am interested in gender theory. These comments read like unguided group therapy mixed with fuzzy realization of the concept of toxic masculinity.
I so agree with you. You seem cool and smart.
For workers, yes, and that is quite expected. A company is profitable for as long as it makes games that go viral. And interest in those games fades in time, so it’s quite expected. As indie tho i know plenty of success stories out there to think otherwise.
