I regularly feel similar to OP. It's like I think the "concept" very quickly/immediately, and then a split second later I vocalise it. I then usually think something like "I know, I already thought that" or "I don't need to say it", as a kind of automatic criticism of my own thought process.

Web Concepts: collecting and linking the specifications of the web
It's increasingly common everywhere on-line (and off-line). Companies consider advertising an additional revenue stream, and see no reason to not add it regardless of whether the product is paid for or distributed for free.

I kept on wondering why I hadn't seen any of this, and then remembered that I'd installed Classic Shell start menu, which provides a Windows 7 style menu. It doesn't disable the Windows 10 menu, just hides it. Makes for a much more pleasant experience though. (No affiliation)
I absolutely love Github Issues, and if I could get the budget I'd get us a Teams subscription and run with it.

The problem is that the main projects I work on are for non-profit volunteer groups, so anything without a direct attendee benefit is an extremely hard sell. :(
That isn't really something that can be done at home, though.

Like the other reply stated, a lot of bread is technique. This is simply going to take some practice and/or experimentation. Sponge or no sponge? Are you going for a quick fix or are you willing to let part of the dough sit overnight, and the rest have 8 more hours to develop flavor?

Ingredients, as they said. Flour makes a difference. YEast makes a difference. Your water makes a difference, as does whether or not you put a bit of sugar in your dough.

But the other part of this is things like humidity. The humidity and temperature in the room is going to affect how much flour you need to use to produce identical results and will also affect how the bread rises.

All this stuff basically means that you have to practice, and then you might need to experiment a bit if you move to another part of the country or to another country - and why there is so much leeway in home recipes. Industrial bread can control for a lot of this stuff.
The point here is that those sales in any country benefit also from the public infrastructures: even where there is the least use of the public money, those infrastructures play a big role in allowing any company, national or foreign, to exercise their activity and make profits. Most of the countries in the world have their internet/telecom networks setup by private companies, but they are helped a lot by the public sector. Those investments help the internet giants to operate and again, to make profits, so my view is that they should be taxed just the same as the local companies. Even in the US, the public sector is mandatory when there are big infrastructures to be put in place. Which is for example a reason why the foreign automakers can be taxed in the USA, because they benefit from this.
If you think that all exports to any country should be taxed only in the country of origin, no foreign company would be be taxed in the USA anymore for any of their export there, and going back to my example, no german automaker should be taxed for their cars (invented, developped and engineered in Germany) in the USA. Given that they benefit from the public spending on the roads and so on, that wouldn't be fair also.

So in a way, this french digital tax is just the same as the USA not allowing the deferred taxation of foreign income, albeit about a single sector. Therefore, I don't quite see why the USA are seeing it as unfair, given they are doing the same thing.

Actually, what all countries should do is to have the exact same law as the USA, to be able to tax all companies (internet giants included) for the real profits they make locally, by removing intra-corporation licenses or fees that allow for the tax evasion to work. But obviously, those companies would probably find another scheme to do that, so I am really wondering whether taxing the income and not the profits is such a bad idea. It would have to be offset by a mechanism on the real expenses excluding intra-corp ones.

He's had a small successful business for a long time, though, with an extremely limited audience and no intent to widen it with a view to potentially much better profits. I'm not sure I'd call it "sound business advice" unless one's business intent is to barely float above water.

The comment you replied to didn’t mention a specific rate, but in general, linking price to cost of production (including human time) makes a lot of sense. I don’t understand why the two comments before yours are getting downvoted.

Just IMO, programming is addictively fun and can be shallow. I think the clarity of thought and concept that maths brings is far more important. The ability to plan, to focus, to organise, and more broadly to interact with others and other life skills.

Programming does not teach those, indeed it allows the production of scrappy stuff that seems to work and is great fun. I found it hugely distracting myself in the way that social media is addictive to current kids.

I'm not explaining myself well and perhaps I'm extrapolating too much from my own case, but I hope that gives you an idea of what I'm trying to say - the very thing in programming - the bringing of something to a kind of life - is the very thing that makes it valuable to hang mathematics off, is also the thing that makes it a shiny bauble that kids/younger adults love to dabble with and be distracted by.

But your experience suggests a different POV. I may well be wrong.
Such a ridiculous stance for Apple. I am 100% convinced that the xMac would double their desktop computer market share.
Complying with the tax laws is now a leftist agenda? Calling out Apple getting an illegal tax deal in Ireland (below normal tax rate, against EU law) is leftist agenda? I think complying with rules is a very conservative thing to do.
We use Zenhub with Github issues. Zenhub adds more structure over Github project. It hit the sweet spot for small teams, not too basic where we can't use it to run our processes, yet not so bloated where we need a manual for doing things. The tight integration with Github is a big win for us. But you can't customise things so when the team gets bigger we expect to move.

I know quite a few places where shell scripts would probably blow up if some arbitrary FD number >2 would be used... Opening a file in bash (and I suppose other shells too) is done by specifying the FD number explicitly:

exec 3<> somefile.txt

That might trigger some very weird behaviour when piping data from a 'stddata' aware tool into shell scripts - something which is guaranteed to happen somewhere.
Yup, me too. I was almost about to pull the trigger when a buddy of mine with a Model S told me that his car broke down and he had to wait for parts. He was just into his second month of waiting. After hearing that I took to the internet and read up on it and it seems legit. I can't have that so bought a traditional car with an infernal combustion engine. Last one I hope.
Japanese pastry is amazing. The best Baumkuchen, a special cake from germany that looks like the rings of a tree (baum = tree) and is considered a delicacy, now comes from Japan.
Yes indeed it is highly customizable application in Perl.

In my old company it was used for many things.

1. Customer service

2. Incident Management

3. Task management

4. ITIR style ITIL incident Management integrated with configuration management.

5 Integrated bug tracking with SVN.

It's open source nature and highly customizable architecture made it very easy to work with it.

Subsequently my teams moved to other platform but I still like it.
At least my view from living in Europe is that medical care is at least partly cultural. In the US we put a lot more faith in technology (devices, surgery, etc) than you see elsewhere. Also the the approach of optimization is different. In Sweden when I injured my shoulder, I was given a conversation on over the counter remedies first, and if these were not sufficient would have had a conversation with a physical therapist, and eventually when these fail maybe stronger medicines would have been used. As it was the NSAIDs recommended (which were strong NSAIDs, much stronger than ibuprofen) worked for me.

I don't think it is fair to criticize medical practices across cultures. Every culture has a different view on these and optimizes for different things.
Yeah I have a friend who had a math degree, taught CS and math. She got exposure to actual software dev work, realized how much better a job it is and eventually left teaching.

It won't scale in a predictable way. Let's say there's a major event in NYC (natural disaster or unnatural). You may suddenly need 700 operators at the same time just to deal with NYC and environs.

You can disagree with Camille Paglia's ideas, but one must respect her for her integrity and commitment to honest academic debate, which is sadly lacking nowadays in most western universities.
Too late now but you might have enjoyed A Tale In The Desert, a very niche MMO where social dynamics were key. As an extreme example, the players could hold an election for Demi-Pharoah and the winner was entitled to ban one player from the game. Not a character, the player. Campaigns might claim they would just never use this power. On the other hand if someone is a total asshole (e.g. building penis shaped art in your farm and deliberately distracting people from group efforts like moving bits of pyramid) maybe a DP campaign could just promise to ban them.
I absolutely love Youtrack from a feature perspective but it still has the same dealbreaker problem as JIRA -- it's Java-based and needs a fair amount of CPU/RAM resources.

Sadly that's one of the big reasons we're moving away from Jira. The full set is:

* We don't have the money for a 10+ licence
* It's slow (our VPS is underpowered and we don't have the money for a faster one)
* Too many features are now part of pay-for licences, which pushes the aggregate cost over our self-imposed "how easy is this to justify to our attendees?" limit.

In the end, it boils down to the aggregate cost to get what we want.

I personally don't see it that way. Usually the bottleneck is the database.

>The whole point of gender studies is the idea that biology is not destiny

That's the whole point? Because I think this is the sentiment of pretty much every rational person, and heck, every non-rational person. Nobody argues biology is destiny. Even the most stringent materialists won't argue that physics or chemistry or biology is the best way to understand interactions between people. This is why biologists don't necessarily make good therapists. That doesn't mean humans are complete free agents that can violate laws of physics and chemistry and whose biology plays no part in their development and behaviour.

>You can't point to a spot on the Y chromosome that is responsible for unequal pay.

No. But we can do in depth economic analysis. And in fact, we can explain unequal pay quite well, and it has very little to do with discrimination. On the other hand, can gender studies explain unequal pay, or can it only provide an unsupported, a priori, ideological-based conclusion? I suspect the latter is closer to the truth.

Gender studies doesn't strike me as an area of scholarship that is self-critical, self-reflective, and scientifically rigorous. And yet, it is perfectly fine with making overarching conclusions about complex, chaotic systems.
Saffron failed as it was my first try and had a completely unscientific approach. The fact that there are very few papers available didn't help.

Strawberries failed as I was unable to regular the nutrient supply perfectly for the breed I had. They were too weak. By the time I figured out what nutrients were to be used, I had lost motivation. So I switched to easier experiments like grass and lettuce.

I am not sure if rooted vegetables like ginger can even be cultivated successfully using hydroponics. That was my learning from saffron which has bulbs. What system do you plan to use NFT, DWC or drip? Some with ag background have done it; unfortunately, I know very less about plant biology.

Haven't written much about it other than tweeting about it occasionally.

In reality, attention is his only agenda. Narcissism in it's purest form.

Any grains of truth are purely happenstance.

Please get in touch at kenny at projectpage.dev as I'd be really interested to get your perspective on this and let you try it out.
There might be a nuance missing, in that if you compare a plane journey vs a cruise you are of course not comparing like to like if you only consider 'CO2 per passenger mile' as aeroplanes are used to travel further than a cruise ship.

I don't know the mileage that they actually cover on a cruise, but at 20kts they could cover 480 miles in 24 hours and bearing in mind that they are spending time in port it will be less than that. Lets estimate 300 miles per day, so a 2 week cruise could rack up ~4200 sea miles. => 1806 Kg of CO2

If I flew from Heathrow to Antigua for those 2 weeks, that would be ~8000 air miles. => 2056 Kg of CO2
UK ain't all of Europe! Mainland European countries heavily subsidies infrastructure such as Internet, Electricity, etc. They even invest billions in the construction of new power lines, and fibre-optic lines. For the latter Germany alone is spending 100 Billion Euros.

https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/country-inform...

And what about giants such as Amazon that use the roads as well and don't pay any taxes?

And most European countries hardly have any tuition fees that could cover the costs of the University. Belgium tuition is ~1k per year, Netherlands its ~2k per year, Germany 0$, Austria 0$, Swiss ~1-2k, Spain <1k, Portugal <1k, Denmark,Sweden,Finland,Norway <1k. The UK is an outlier that tries to follow the american model of not investing into the future generations of a country. And thereby crippling a nation in the long run.

Finally, for a fair and sustainable market all businesses must abide by the same rules. Why do European companies pay taxes throughout europe on the profit they make in each countries to the respective country, but big American companies don't even pay 1%.....?

Completely agree. I've been saying this since 2012 when the Retina machines came out, and skeptical since 2009 when they moved to non-user-replaceable batteries in the MacBook Pros.

I don't think I've actually ever had a non-Apple main notebook, and that goes back to the 1990s!

That said, I only tolerate the 2013-2015 rMBPs, use one for my main personal and work laptops, but the soldered RAM pisses me off (a lot, because my personal machine only has 8GB and my god is it hard to find a 16GB model for a reasonable price in the used market), and the proprietary storage irks me. Thankfully 10.13 supports NVMe with an adaptor, which to me basically confirms that there was zero reason for Apple to use the proprietary stupid thing in the first place.

As for any machine they've built after 2016, well, I don't want them. I don't want a butterfly keyboard with no travel that breaks with a skin flake. I don't want screens that stop working because they use a flex cable connector that's too short. I don't want a touchbar if it means no function row. I don't want to give up MagSafe. I don't want to give up my SD card slot. I don't want to give up USB Type A. I don't want a massive trackpad, and I don't want the fscking T2 chip.

In fact, the only things on the >2016 machines I do want are the faster CPUs and GPUs, the better quality displays, and Touch ID!

... As for Lenovo though, they're slowly into Apple 2.0. Have you seen the T/X x90 and X1 series? Soldered RAM. At least they still make the X1 Extreme and P series.
The cruise liner is also doing hotel and restaurant for the traveler, and there's less of the "taxi to town" involved.
Ask HN: [Salesforce] Do you want quick, simple portals for your Salesforce data?
Hey everyone (namely Salesforce users)

I'm making a product called Skyportal. It generates a simple portal for your Salesforce data.

During setup you choose tables to connect to the portal, then field options for each table. Fields can be hidden or visible, and read-only or editable.

Your customers can sign in and interact with data (view, edit) that's relevant to them. You can also add permission rules. So if you only want a customer to see products linked to their company, that's all the portal will show them.

Salesforce has their own product 'Salesforce Communities' which is a really flexible platform for creating whole communities. Skyportal is for much simpler portals. We've proudly got less functionality, less configuration and less headaches :-).

Looking forward to your feedback!

Aiming to launch in around 5 weeks - feel free to join the waiting list: http://skyportal.app/
The free version of GitLab has very limited support for issues, though. Things like 'related issues' are only available in the paid offerings.

I can see how this is true of fast food, motor vehicles and electronics, not necessarily fresh produce. A South African winefarm can only make South African wine in South Africa. Coca-cola and Heineken can (and do) make their product the world over, wherever it is consumed.

If anything, vertical farming should be able to produce the consistent "big mac" equivalent of the tomato/lettuce/potato?

Am I incorrect in the sentiment of the capitalist argument here?
