It’s unfortunate we would rely on either of these countries to be our eyes and ears. Both are corrupt. Saudi appears worst to us in the west because their daily way of life isn’t so compatible with western values, especially with respect to religion in government (or freedom of, rather) and general human rights and women’s rights.

Israel appears to be democratic but discriminates heavily and are also driven to a great extent by extremist hardliners and outright corruption (ie Netanyahu's numbers are down, so he wants to annex more of the West Bank). Also, you’re not supposed to criticize anything they do out of fear of being labeled an anti Semite.
"Any sufficiently complicated web application contains an ad-hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of the browser's native behaviour."

To which I would add the adjectives outdated and brittle. It is possible, with care, to replicate almost any UX behaviour that is native to the browser or its underlying platform, but:

1. When the browser or platform changes, the "greenspunned" behaviour does not keep up, so you are either stuck with outdated behaviour, or you have to go back and update your web app to keep up.

2. Most of the high-fidelity implementations rely on a tottering jenga pile of hacks and workarounds that break in unpredictable ways when changes are made to the site's appearance (e.g. a rebranding exercise) or to the browser's underlying behaviour.

I've become very conservative about doing anything like this myself. I have extreme difficulty coming up with business justification for reïmplementing standard behaviour.

It is not my job to make scroll bars, buttons that depress when you mouse down, and especially, custom text input fields that—thanks to my meddling—don't support standard behaviour like native spell checking, copy and paste.

Now please excuse me, I've lined up a row of Geritol and Jack Daniel's ("Gerry & Jack's") shots, and it's time for a drink.
> I spent years using drugs to cope

If you spent years using drugs to cope, wouldn't your transition be over by now? Oh, wrong drugs...

I actually recently discovered theres a whole transDIY thing on Reddit. It never even occurred to me that even for F2Ms with Testosterone being a steroid they aren't highly controlled substances and thus its rarely illegal to buy them online.

All the sex hormones / blockers are pretty damn expensive though.
> Even if you connect securely, you still essentially have root access on the host machine.

Your original point was about the pain of sharing the Unix socket to control other containers, so that's why I brought up the API approach.

It's been a while since I used Docker, but have you tried enabling user namespace remapping[1]? I remember it working as documented, and don't see why it wouldn't work remotely or DiD. There's also experimental rootless support since 19.03[2], maybe give that a try. Other than that, make sure you trust the images you run, or preferably, inspect every Dockerfile, ensure that the process runs as an unprivileged user, and build everything from scratch yourself.

I agree with you that this is a major security issue, but we've known that since its introduction, and things seem to be improving, albeit slowly.

Thankfully, nowadays there is other OCI-compatible tooling you can use and sidestep Docker altogether. Podman[3] is growing on me, mostly because of rootless support, though it's not without its issues and limitations.

Campaign Monitor's documentation has been the go-to solution for years. But I'm sure everybody working with email HTML already knows about it.
Facebook's Libra should be blocked in Europe, France says
I generally agree with what you said. Maybe I take issue with the phrasing: "Per my previous email" I feel like it triggers some people. I prefer to try and soften it by saying something along the lines of: "I don't know if you got my previous email (see attached)"
In Firefox you can ctrl+click or shift+click the scroll track to switch between incremental and absolute scroll behaviour. Maybe not all OSes though.
I was proposing basically removing most of not all of the sates jurisdiction over labour laws the USA doesn't need 52 different sets of labour laws.
I think that mentality is really easy to take advantage of. Essentially, anyone is allowed at any point to push something to the top your stack. If at any point your stack is topped with something they don't like, it's a simple matter of pushing more things.

I strongly urge anyone who cares about this Epstein case at all to not let the guards or schools take a higher position in the stack than the clients themselves.
I'm more interested in if/when they will fix threads.
Sadly not portable enough if you need to support IE. Give it a few more years though.
I'd wager that's the reason. People can't relate to it. Not even close.

I'm not scraping by in my early twenties with a futon trying to bust into a career with a full year's salary in student loan debt. I immediately started making what many people make at the tail end of what they'd call a good career. All while coming in just about whenever I feel like it.

My life is a joke in comparison and it's just a coincidence that I landed in it. Same with other guys I know. They happened to like something, such as making Quake mods and then stumbled into making 200k/year in 35hr per week, with maybe half of that 35 being YAML engineering.
If as you said Americans are outnumbered by European people it is not very surprising that most people spot doing silly things are European and not American ...
I am the most OK I have ever been, and it's largely to do with being a programmer/nerd/scientist. I struggle with work/life balance, but only because I enjoy working so much that it's difficult to tell where life begins and work ends.

I'm final year PhD, so I'm not earning much. The reason for my happiness is very much the space I am given to work, the nature of the work (post-quantum cryptography) and not having a toxic working environment (which I've had before).

If your toxic boss was your toxic friend, you would still feel that dread you get when waking up for work, when going for coffee or chilling out with that friend. Don't put up with it just because your boss friend pays you. Be as cheeky and as ignorant as you can get away with. Teach the bastard a lesson. If you get fired, be even cheekier and make a fool of them in front of the entire staff. I was 16 when I was working under a toxic boss and I didn't have the gumption to do this. I wish I had.
Yes, absolutely. It's super easy with a yes/no popup when starting or when trying to use that function.
One small thing is that in the proof they use n-1 instead of n as the denominator for sample variance which is different from my/Kevin's settings. Although this might be trivial, I will further look into that to see if it makes any difference. Overall this (full) derivation I would say is non-trivial, although it is not some discoveries.
I would argue the core issue is actually overpopulation (or in the case of California too many people wanting to live there but also trying to balance preservation of Nature). And it's certainly much more acute in California. Tokyo is not a desirable way to live, but neither are the suburbs. Too many people means the density gets too high, and poor zoning regulation and poor building incentives get us mcmansions. Every little European city that you've ever been to that was lovely, walkable, and sensible, is the objectively best way for humans to live. You know it and I know it. Loosening building restrictions won't really work if you think that you're going to build single-family homes. It would be a disaster. You have to build entirely new neighborhoods where people can't use cars at all, but I've never seen any level of government in the US allow that. Otherwise you will just end up building suburbs and then the state will build 15 lane highways ad nauseam. Traffic will continue to get worse, it'll be a dystopia.

And you build more and more housing, you'll wind up with 4-lane highways to and through Yosemite or something - that's not at all desirable is it? How would you handle the traffic and flow of people? Giant hotels, McDonalds, and huge traffic stops? It's just not sustainable.

California's problem is that it's not sustainable for the amount of people that want to live there. I think it's a global problem in general too. Less people, and no cars would be most desirable to me.

Sorry for a bit of a discoherent rant.
Would it be ok for you to share :

- common sources of stress
- common tricks to solve them
This is one of these things that is technically true, but still misleading.

Nothing is risk-free. Eating food has risk, taking paracetamol has risk, getting blood drawn has risk.

Saying something has risk without talking about the amount of risk and the context of the risks it mitigates is pointless.

Vaccines introduce negligible amounts of risk. Giving your child a peanut or taking them for a drive is much riskier, and we almost all do those things without a second thought. By contrast, they mitigate huge risks: the diseases we vaccinate against can, did and do cause horrific harm up to and including death, and do so very well.

Vaccines are not immune to criticism, it is just they have weathered all the reasonable criticism leveled at them. If you are willing to put your child in a car, giving them a vaccine should be a complete non-issue for you.
It does and it doesn't. The interface is pretty different. Using containerd directly as a binary is pretty rough around the edges, but docker uses it as a library. In particular the CRI implementation works, but leaves a lot to be desired. Their release cycle is also pretty lengthy, such that each minor release has a ton of changes, resulting in a lot of work to integrate into your infra.
Someone complained about ours on their phone client so I’ve been testing when adding a new one.

I’m anal enough that I’d _love_ to be able to upload dark-mode variants, though. Proper transparency can’t solve everything.
It is, I have been using it because it's very convenient to find specific photos if you have a huge archive. You can type basically any object, name or name + object and you'll get the relevant photos.

I am thinking about stopping it because I'm uncomfortable with Google having all that data. I'm going to look into any local and/or open source solutions in this space.
Well among other things, one problem to solve is, how to control the output power. If you were to just charge a bunch of nuclear isomers, they'd afterward release the energy by a regular decay process with a given half life (or call it nuclear "flourescence" lifetime, or whatever). This puts them on the same conceptual stage as RTGs.

It should be possible to stimulate the emission of radiation, i.e. build the nuclear isomer equivalent to a chemical laser. That'd would allow to control the release of power and not depend on random decay.
Being late isn't a power move, it's just makes you look disorganized and disrespectful. This would have 100% the opposite of your intended effect with me.

Real power moves are exercising real power: saying no and being able to back it up, expressing a dissenting opinion, solving problems and providing real value, brining in money, controlling budgets or headcount, threatening to quit because you can/will, leading by organizing people to get something done, articulating a framing for situations that cut through the BS, understand people's motivations and what's actually going on, etc. These moves "take up space," but don't confuse taking up space for power. People with actual power won't.

So get to those meetings on time.
If you want to be completely on the safe side, don't use ripcord.

That said, for what it's worth, I haven't known someone getting banned yet.

Interesting. I will give it a try to see if I like it or prefer the default one that I have been using for a couple of years.
Hard to quantify it but it's far more comfortable due to the soft fabric and lack of friction around the thighs. It's super refreshing not just with the breeze but also because it's like shade for your legs.

It's honestly a shame that it's not socially acceptable (in the West) for men to wear skirts and dresses.
Ask HN: Why do boomers love work so much?
There's an interesting trend I'm noticing. Most of my fellow peers (millenials who work in software) kinda dread work in general. We're missing any sense of "higher meaning" and fulfillment and working 40 hours a week seems very dated and uneccesary. There's greater priority over doing impactful things and not being a slave to work. Oddly, many of the other people we work with seem content with working 40+ hours, taking a standard 3 week vacation and just repeating day in and out. Many of them also been with the same company for 30+ years which is insane! What's the generational divide?
I cannot recommend the selfauthoring program enough.
Hmm... fair point. I was afraid this might be the thing.
One thing you can consider (in the US): quit and file for unemployment benefits - it's a hostile work environment, so youre entitled to this. That would give you some cushion while searching for a new job.
As a webdev (albeit a noob) I just leave the scroll bar to its own devices with ONE EXCEPTION.

I hate the "pop" you get when the scroll bar isn't there, and then suddenly there is enough content to scroll and the scroll bar shifts everything to the left. It's not easy to account for for a given page when that may or may not occur when say you show some new content and then suddenly things shift left.

It's a pain visually so I just force it to appear regardless.

I've had luck with:

The idea behind Markdown Here is good, but it has some issues like keeping a copy of the markup text base-encoded in some html attribute which can be lead to unintentionally leaking full text while forwarding part of the message.

Oh true but that's not labour law - go back and implement the sort of system (Basicly Germany's ) the US was moving to in the 50's
It's an example that does not appreciate with a concept of scale.

There are very few employers of non-skilled labor that provide higher take home pay for the same or smaller number of hours worked than Uber.

You should ask anyone who does unskilled labor if they would take a less paying job.

I wish I could offer you a real hug and ear.

My wife and I have split up twice before but the last time was the worst. It bankrupted me and we almost divorced. We lost a house, a car, savings, etc. Historically, I come from an emotionally abusive background and suffer from anxiety and depression.

We keep saying we'll go to counseling but keep pushing it off. We are together now and have agreed to make it work. My last job was great but the compensation wasn't enough. So, I moved on and rejuvenated my career + family. Recently, the company has moved to a sales-centric organization instead of the engineering-centric organization I joined. I want to leave. I'm unhappy but can't give up the benefits. I'm trying not to take it out on my children - who I love so much but also have a nagging feeling sometimes that they have aged me and made my life more difficult.

Plus, eco-future is terrifying.

We go to church now. It's methodist. I don't believe in a man in the sky but find the community helps my depression. They offer counseling (a third party) for free. And I now work with the youth - more community focused vs religious.

Good luck. And it can get better.
It boils down to the fact that borders are artificially constructed. Yeah, even democracy isn't something that came down from the sky. Again, "who are you to block my path?", a very difficult question.
I feel like an entire generation's brains got broken on the subject of education because they were lucky enough to be young when a new industry (web software) got off the ground that was simple and lucrative. So they saw a ton of opportunities to apply high-school-level thinking to entrepreneurship and make a lot of money. And they came to believe was the way the world normally works.

It's not. The vast majority of worthwhile, well-paying jobs require significant education and/training after high school. Not because it's a credential game, but because society and work are complex. And it's getting more complex, not less.

--

I'll also risk the opinion that there is more to life than work, and higher education has advantages for people far beyond their ability out-compete one another for corporate jobs. And I would argue, for society as a whole.
Something that got much less attention but deserves it (IMO) is that they have accessible themes for people with color-vision deficiencies. There is a theme for people with tritanopia and one for protanopia & deuteranopia.

Having protanopia myself I'm very grateful for any piece of software that takes these issues seriously.

For those on Visual Studio Code: the slack themes are also available there, including the color blind themes.
I think the issue is less about literal citations and more about having any sort of hard fact to back up big claims.

It would be very easy for media companies to 100% fabricate many of the stories we see. I'm not saying that they are, but I have no real reason to believe otherwise. The only supporting evidence provided anymore is 'anonymous sources'.

We have to just trust that what the media says is the truth, because there is no way for us to verify the stories we hear. Whether you do trust these corporations or not, having to rely on that blind faith is a bad system.
> Israel and the U.S are extremely strong alliance

Citation needed. We hear this all the time, but from where I stand it looks like a pretty one-sided "relationship."

We give them billions every year while running a deficit and what do we get from it?
I'll be pessimistic in saying that nobody replying to comments on a web forum would actually drive even 15 minutes to have coffee with you and actually be there in a meaningful way but its also an empathic question to ask because most of the time the OP is someone who recently really needed it and can recognize the value in asking it even if its not meant to be something with follow through. Its not necessarily from a selfish place, but few people have the resources to even try to hear out and actually do something about the probably thousands of us basket cases in this comments section.
Frontend developers have been using PostCSS for the transition period until this is fully adopted (which is a library set similar to Babel for adopting future JS, as well as experimenting with new CSS language level ideas):

https://github.com/MadLittleMods/postcss-css-variables

There’s also plugins for nesting and mixins if you want a more complete SASS replacement which seems to be the toolset the industry is moving towards.

The most popular PostCSS library is autoprefixer which is also helping with the transition to future CSS without all of the browser baggage. https://github.com/postcss/autoprefixer

if you use firefox on android, about:config has a "scrollbar timeout" setting that you can set to 0 or -1... now you will have an always visible scrollbar.

is it a large company with possibility to change team so to avoid this dude ?

If I may, after long illness I thought I'd work simple min-wage jobs to get back into active life. Few things hit me: you get around the same amount of shit there. Bad bosses, bad colleagues. Imperfect working conditions. The difference is, even underpaid, you get more money.

Maybe that will help you swallow the bitter pill for a little while.

Best of luck

I was kinda assuming that the president would be the simpleton to figure out that the phone was bugged and take care of the issue. But perhaps I overestimate simpletons.
"What can we do to bring it down to a 2?"

The number doesn't matter as much as doing anything one can to help.

eg, imposter syndrome. It has a cure. But being okay bringing it up and asking for help is required steps. This doesn't have to be with a manager. It can be with a therapist. People care, and if they don't, is it worth working in an environment like that?

It might be great to have tool-assisted writing, where you write naturally and the computer says “do you mean: [pedantic unambiguous version]”.

The main risk would be people blindly accepting corrections that actually change the meaning -- just like any other autocorrection system. I’m not sure how to mitigate against that.
The "peace" of the open office layout?
This is a disaster. Have we learned nothing at all? Rent control won't help anyone except those who already have a low rent place and it'll only help for the short term until they need to move. After 50 years of ridiculous regulations that prevent more housing from being added, we're still moving in the wrong direction. This is truely a sad day.

Israel has unreasonable influence in the US. Speaking against them in any way can be career suicide for American politicians.

I'm a developer in Las Vegas and have worked in actual casino gaming and slot machines and I have never disagreed with a comment on Hacker News as much as I do this one.

My perspective is that there are two kinds of people. Those who understand that slot machines are dangerous and a bad long term investment, and those who do not and gradually become more and more addicted to them.

I've never seen a casino customer who was initially attracted to slot machine mechanics, gradually learn that they a poor exchange of value, overcome their addictive nature and stop playing them.

They may stop playing because they are broke. They may learn to manage the addiction at a level they enjoy and can sustain. But they don't just suddenly understand that it's a bad deal and stop wanting to play.
Maybe at that point they shouldn't be using an open office layout.
