Is it racism when the CPC denies visas to US journalists, is it Chinese nativism when they deny visas to other foreign nationals?

Is it racism when everything bad is attributed to Russians?

I would agree that your guess is probably better than mine and I would be disinclined to bet against you. I hope the CDC has access to all this information so they can evaluate this as a potential cause.

My issue was only that you followed a bunch of informative facts with an untested theory that was not differentiated from the facts that preceded it.
The seitzer style dispenser is the way to dispense the soda to the wine that is already in a normal tumbler or high ball glass. The wine is usually a dry white, e.g. rizling, not top-of-the-line. We have a saying “it's acceptable with soda” for “good enough”, comes from the fröccs.

The purpose of adding soda is to make it more refreshing in the Summer and allows to drink more without flipping over.

About the ratios: https://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fr%C3%B6ccs is a good list. bor = wine, szódavíz = carbonated water.
When I look back at my personal story I don’t look for proof, I look at my past experiences and decide that something has value to me.

If proof is what you’re looking for, scientific studies about the effects of vaping abound.
Some thoughts on the matter:

1) Are there domains where naming things is easier? Perhaps even trivial? As a layman in both, biology and astronomy come to mind. Where you just find a Latin word vaguely describing what you see, and if nothing comes up you just pick a name of a famous person from your field that doesn't already have something named after them.

2) If non-English languages are also considered, are there any where naming things is easier? Have to keep in mind that a "good" name maintains a balance between descriptiveness and brevity.

3) Can this be considered as an advantage of point-free style?

4) Is naming things in programming hard as in "building a spaceship" or as in "making the NBA"? That is, can you name all the things if you put in enough effort, or are some things simply unnameable?
The problem as it's defined in this thesis sounds a lot like the problem of microservice architecture. I'm curious how something like protobufs would compare in solving this problem
My parcel with a fairly simple app spits out a 10MB release build. We still have some way to go.
I was at the first grand opening. I moved to TX in 90s, Fry's followed and took over the defunct Incredible Universe building a handful of years later, I was excited. When they started to sell appliances and As Seen on TV stuff, I knew it was the start of the downwatd spiral. While sad to see them go, it's been a frustrating number of years of having to correct their sales people on talking BS to customers and the deals they used to have on computer components have dried up many years ago. Maybe they will make a come back like Radio Shack, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
It's not a crazy idea, US already does that with preclearance in a few countries. I already really like preclearance. Makes landing back in the States a lot easier.

I’m not sure what’s not to understand.

We would leave for work in mornings and return in the evening and didn’t feel it was appropriate to leave our dog home alone for 8-9 hours without a walk (social contact and the bathroom as well).
When there's no competitive incentive for a service provider to do well, remaining incentives to this effect are difficult.
Surprised terpenes aren't mentioned in article -- when heated too hot they can degrade into benzene. Seems like they are targeted for something to extract not remove (although I know nothing about cannabis - only industrial contaminants).

Not sure how hot the heating elements are supposed to get but if they get too hot you're inhaling stuff that basically creates pneumonia symptoms.
I agree that this stuff is common place and I definitely understand that in today’s world of noise that you have to market yourself and your papers to get attention.

I was glad to see them add the disclaimer as hopefully it’ll turn away people who see “hey, here’s this secret management project made by a bunch of professors and PhDs, I should use it because they are super qualified”.

My goal was to provide feedback to the students about how people evaluate code “in the real world”. It’s not helpful for them to be applauded for “sub par” code but you raise a good point that it can seem harsh to not provide feedback on the “meat of the project” which is their paper and research.

Ok, person because of whom Sr Staff at Box was created :). There was a need for promo and I did not meet the bar for Principle ( have to be recognized in industry: books, conferences). So Sr Staff was born. I never did what is written in the article, just worked on systems (spending 80% of my time on coding related activities: design, code reviews but mostly emitting code). Pretty the same I did in most companies. Even being manager in one company I spent 50% of time coding (it is complicated as I built team around such principles , so very small “management “ activities were required).
I am really bad on interview so join each company (probably 7 now) with low level. Also, never asked about promo. Also, self taught and not a hardcore developer (it is not like i love and breath in code outside of work, it takes sometimes long hours to make it work). But almost always get to nearly top levels (top is impossible, English is super crappy and as I said, not a coding prodigy).
Being “senior staff” in many companies I found that two traits are important for “senior” developers :
1.sense of problem: where the most important problem is now. There is no real most important problem, all problems are not that important unless you are doctor/military/rescue and save lives. So it is a special skill to find one that will be foundation for changes, spark eyes of people around and will be accepted.
2. “lead by example “ , be hands dirty in all your decisions. A lot of things are good on paper but reality shows that changes are needed. The reality forces to have enough knowledge (chat with experts, books, reading others code) before making decisions and later finding that no two situations are the same. Being inside makes it is easy to fix.

It's nothing more than an extra header or query param to denote an AJAX request. Then the server can respond with an empty 200/204 status code instead of the entire HTML page. It's an hour of work and would actually save resources. None of this requires a front-end framework.
This is the right answer. Smartphones aren’t inherently bad, but they enable things that are toxic without us understanding - chief among them the news.

Back in college I thought it was the grown up thing to do to read the news everyday. Fast forward ten years and I’ve finally realized how much frustration and misery the news (Twitter) was bringing into my life.

As of a week and a half ago, I’m now completely off of the news. I deleted the news app, blocked Twitter and FB from Safari, and avoid other news sites. The outcome has been remarkable! My wife continues to remark how much less irritable I’ve become and how much less stressed I seem. I use HN to stay current on industry news, but I can honestly say I don’t miss that other stuff.

To anyone reading this that is hooked on news consumption - try cutting it from your life! It is a life-changing experience.

You're correct that when JS is disabled, any interaction requires a HTTP request from a link or form, and that does a full page reload.

However when JS and AJAX is used, it's expected that it also avoids an entire full-page HTML response that goes unused. It can easily be a 204 instead.
I thought normally the airline paid in this case?
My apologies, I didn't mean to come off as abrasive. Yes, I see your point about the presentation of facts.
Something similar to this was done for early iPhone keyboards; not all touchscreen buttons were the same size.
I'm at the same place I think. If we're similar, part of the draw of frontend initially was that it was a true and interesting engineering problem. It was a unique and challenging skill to get basic designs and stuff working cross browser. Now, it's sort of a matter of just re-solving the same problem—even more damning if you've come to the realization that most products are ppintless conduits for money and nobody cares what you do—which just isn't compelling if you're driven by having an impact or doing something novell.

So I've been thinking about this...a lot. On the engineering front, I'm going to try and devote some time to problems and domains I haven't burnt out on yet. Embedded, game dev, AI, etc.. At the end of the day though, programming is very much programming. You have to identify what drives and compells you.

To that end, I'm looking at the people who I admire most for how and what they do for others, and trying to see how I can do the same. For me, this is John Carmack, Armin Van Buren, and maybe PewDiePie, among others. I have no answers yet, but we'll see where it goes.

Edit: I'd add that I don't buy a notion of "just doing it anyway" for the long term. Sometimes things suck, and yes you gotta grind through, but not long term. That's a good way to get depressed, fat, and hate yourself. Better to re-route and explore if you can.
Unfortunately I suspect a lot of the decisions are driven by resume-padding, which is itself a phenomenon started by management who has no idea of the implications of using $latest_web_tech beyond the fact that it's "new and modern" asking for use of the dozen latest frameworks for everything they do.

If the companies hiring web devs changed their mindset and listing a dozen different frameworks on your resume was perceived as the negative trendchasing architecture-astronauts that such developers often turn out to be (at least in my experience), and valued simple JS skills and experience instead, I suspect websites would end up being a lot different than they are today.
This is such a simple viewpoint and not supported by much evidence beyond seeing the meme loosely thrown around message boards. For example the Islamists supported the "coup" of Mosaddeq(quotes because he was constitutionally dismissed but refused, making him the one who overthrew the extant government, not the shah or the US) because he was not actively working towards an Islamic government.

Maybe a more correct thing to say would be that America's enemies hate what America stands for and don't want their country to become more like America. But that work is usually done by independent natives who simply see the benefit of the American way of life, not necessarily from the US directly sticking their fingers in the affairs of other states. Look at the white revolution in Iran, which was instituted solely by the Shah without any "persuasion" from the Americans. This helped foment the Islamic revolution far more than any American/Anglo actions from the 1950s, and was what Khomeni hated so much. What did it do? :

> It consisted of several elements, including land reform, sale of some state-owned factories to finance this land reform, construction of an expanded road, rail, and air network, a number of dam and irrigation projects, the eradication of diseases such as malaria, the encouragement and support of industrial growth, enfranchisement of women, nationalization of forests and pastures, formation of literacy and health corps for rural isolated areas, and institution of profit sharing schemes for workers in industry. In the 1960s and 1970s, the Shah sought to develop a more independent foreign policy and established working relationships with the Soviet Union and eastern European nations. In subsequent decades, per capita income for Iranians skyrocketed, and oil revenue-fueled an enormous increase in state funding for industrial development projects

Have you ever seen a SPA redesign that actually improved the usability of the site for you?
I thought it was going to be about people trying to launch themselves into space with home made rockets.

Made me think of the 1970's TV show Salvage 1:

"Harry runs a salvage operation, in which he and his partners reclaim trash and junk and sell it as scrap (or as other things). Harry also has a home-made spaceship which he sometimes uses to reclaim junk satellites."

The part where he tries to show that the old map of Herodotus (c. 484BC – c. 425BC) is somewhat similar to the map of rivers and basins, but they don't even look similar. (Also note that the dates discussed in this articles are about 5000 years ago, something like 2500 years before Herodotus.)

"Mail is not hard: people keep repeating that because they read it, not because they tried it"

Actually I repeat it because I ran mail servers for years, for personal use, for small businesses, for large businesses.

It was hard because spam was difficult to deal with, I don't know if that's gotten easier. It was hard because managing mailboxes, spam boxes, whitelists, webmail, etc for users was non-trivial. It was hard because occasionally you would be blacklisted and it took days to un-blacklist you, either from a spam list, or from a "big provider" because for whatever reason they just didn't want to take your mail. It was hard because you couldn't just run an open relay on most ISPs, you usually had to use your ISP's relay, and thus suffer their own issues; if you used commercial IP space that was less of an issue. It was hard because it had to be secure, and follow standards. It was hard because as your own hosting provider, you had to do all the things providers do: have a stable connection, manage your DNS, do backups, manage configuration, upgrades, patches.

We're not trying to bullshit you. We did it, and it was hard. Maybe it won't be for you, or maybe the "hardness" is just fun for you. But it's not a myth.
I'm going to join the chorus saying that it's cool what you can do with an algorithmic and programmable font.

However, my next thought is that will create noisy and busy displays or web pages and so it is of limited practical/every-day use. I showed it to an Aspie friend who recoiled at all the moving letters.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
The question is not: Should we cut power to 5% of customers or not.

The question is: Should we cat power to 5% of the customers now, or let the whole electrical grid stall, resulting in zero power for anyone.
I work on a lot of different things (often at once), and rarely I have a project that actually reaches completion--and I'm sure many of you here can resonate with that :P.

So I built a platform that allows you to share early-stage projects that you're personally working on and to seek feedback/validation from users within its community.

Feel free to try it out and let me know what you think. :)

Germany’s Small Steps into Stimulus Are Unlikely to Meet Economists’ Hopes
This is just the news tip of clicks iceberg. There will be dozens of opinion pieces released on this topic that are each tailored to different demographics; a headline for every political proclivity! Righteous outrage boners for all.

These opinion pieces will contain a bunch of factual errors and logical phalacies, but they are opinion pieces right? Except most people will just associate them with the news organizations that published them leaving them open to accusations of "fake news" from all sides and destroying the credibility of their news/investigative journalism.

The problem with monopsony is not any particular chip or technology. You can make (with huge investment and a couple of decades) or buy any technology. The problem is that you have to make the whole Digikey catalogue (and then some) all by yourself. From capacitors - all of them - types, capacities, sizes, form-factors, voltages, grades, to ADCs (no, buying Analog Devices wouldn't solve this, and you couldn't buy it anyway) and RF components, and everything in between. All of them, to stay competitive in what you can build with that components. That's where Soviet Union lost the game, and any modern country, including the United States would loose too, considering how the field has expanded since 1991.
Not when considering the opportunity cost of gathering it.

Social networking is inherently a net negative due to how information propagates. It’s actively weeding out the useful bits.
I don't think it's worth it unless you are coming from a different field or looking for a way into the USA. In those cases it's worth it, otherwise you won't learn as much as working or doing PhD.
That could speak more towards the decline of physical media, but clearly Fry’s had nothing else to replace them.
I don't understand what public "good" this is trying to accomplish (who's the victim?); it seems like the victim was victimized twice: once by revenge porn and then again with an unjust, unconcerned, over-prosecuting legal system that incarcerates more people per capita than all other countries except Seychelles.

A tangential irony is adults engaging sex for money is illegal in most of America, while if it involves a camera, then it's porn and legal.

There are no "good points" whoever is playing this game has to abide for the law and Interest of US.

There is SO MUCH more of what is not published: techniques, materials, who is who, suppliers, etc. Well, some countries spacial programs were made with IP stolen from the US. Can you image loss of revenue and power that comes with that?

Maybe you are in a such detach position that you Can't see how much wealth is created by American IP. And how much it goes in the US economy.

You may hate Disney, Microsoft, Cisco, etc. But they bring jobs, revenues, and wealth with their IP.

Let's invert the situation.

American students will work on Iran nuclear research. And we will "forbid" any spy from Iran govt how does it play? Will Iran govt play "nice" care about good points?

It surprises me when the US has to be 100% correct and 200% caring about emotions when everyone else doesn't give a crap and steal from the US.

Now lets rain downvotes.
Seeing the parent post you're replying to reminds me a lot about how mainstream compiler optimisation works: create a lot of crap "unoptimised" output, then add many additional layers of complexity in an attempt to get rid of the unnecessary crap, instead of the quaint idea of simply not creating so much crap in the first place.

"All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection, except for the problem of too many layers of indirection."

It's a neat idea, but doesn't help in humid regions, which I'd wager is where most AC is used(US Southeast, South East Asia, tropics, etc). An outdoor mall in Miami was built with a wind ribbon, which feels effectively useless sadly.

An interesting idea I read about recently was a guy claiming to lower his utility bills by effectively running an AC to remove humidity, then a swamp cooler inside. No idea if it's more or less effective, though.
