Notes was a double-edged sword. It could be as terrible as you've heard, but on the other had it also let non-programmers build surprisingly useful applications all by themselves. (Which is part of why it stuck around for so long -- being useful, those apps tended to get wedged into critical parts of the business process, which meant you couldn't just pull them out and throw them away.)
I agree with your "Where is Europe" sentiment, but lists like this aren't super helpful.

The fact that western site somehow doesn't have a single Asian city, despite veganism tracing it's roots to India, in their top 10 feels less like an objective analysis and more of a list of places the editors have visited.
i'm not sure this argument holds up either - if you believed having sex is inherently cruel to the person you're having sex with, but you still enjoy sex, why is using a sex doll not a reasonable solution?

I'm not an authority on the matter but I figure it's due to the heavy germanic influences in modern Western dining. It seems like that's where the idea that a "meal" is "meat plus a side of X" came from.

I would never call this a race condition, but mostly because it does not cause an unrecoverable / system crashing failure state (you and your coworker have a protocol to resolve the inconsistent state).
First, I don’t have my teams do daily stand ups.

But in the rare times that I have, it’s mostly because the team tends to get pulled in a lot of directions, and the standup is a reminder to focus.

There is usually a larger organizational issue that leads to a team pulled in so many directions. But that’s a lot harder to fix.

Yes, I always find it funny that when veganism/vegetarianism is discussed on this site there are always people that say they hate vegan/vegetarian food because it is bland, flavorless, tastes worse than food with meats, or otherwise complain about flavor.

There are just as many good and bad vegan and vegetarian dishes as there are good and bad dishes with meat. In Seattle there are 20+ vegan restaurants that serve some absolutely awesome dishes. It seems people try a slice of some shitty veggie bacon or something else they dislike, and then immediately write off all vegan/vegetarian food as bad

Can you destroy them with the antenna? Or is that just for locating it?
I'm a native English speaker as well, and I think you're conflating two different uses.

Yes. There is 'fine piece of ass' as one might hear one utter of an uninvolved person to a friend that matches what you are describing.

That changes significantly when the subject to whom the "fine piece of ass" belongs is a direct recipient of the comment. I.e. "Girl, you have/are one fine piece of ass."

In that case there is communicated the sense of appreciation of beauty between the speaker and receiver. There is the also the not necessarily explicit "that I'd like to try," which clearly distinguishes the "appreciative" form from the "sex objectification form."

Be aware this is not license to use the phrase carelessly. Aware of the norms of the company you're keeping must be taken into account. On the American side of the pond, careless banding about of that sort of thing has been growing increasingly problematic in any business casual up, or official social context. It is a solidly informal comment not intended for "polite company".

I'm a blast at parties. For the curious. (I'm really not.)
There's nothing more socially damning than expecting actual communication when conversing with people.
Because it tastes good.

It's not a contradiction to enjoy the taste of an animal, while also believing that the harvesting of that animal is unethical.
> So are you prescribing to me that I must accept "figuratively" as a valid definition for "literally"?

No, they are describing the fact that it is used that way, whether you like it or not.

That said, while I totally accept the usage, and don't have a problem with people saying "I literally died laughing" (because the phrase "I died laughing" is already on the face of it a statement of fact, and yet we have no problem understanding that it's figurative, so any modifiers -- I seriously died laughing, I totally died laughing -- are just intensifying the hyperbole), I personally don't think it should have been added to the dictionary.

People already use intensifiers when being hyperbolic (as above, "I seriously died laughing," "I totally died laughing"), we don't need to add to the definition of all of them. It's a valid part of the constellation of "intensifier + idiom," and each intensifier doesn't need to be singled out.

As someone who has personally written Rust code that deadlocked under specific circumstances, I think I can say that Rust does not prevent deadlocks. Not sure about specific types of race conditions, but I don't think it's possible for the compiler to detect all race conditions at compile time.

It is a heck of a lot easier to not make them in Rust than in someting like C and C++. But Rust is not a panacea for asynchronous code.

>I really don't consider this a big problem

In the drive to close up security holes, Apple created a new one that can't be conceivably fixed by the user.

The user is ostensibly prevented from installing apps outside of the Apple Store to protect the data from malicious access, theft or destruction. The thorough app vetting process gives high assurances of that.

However there's a 4th aspect of security: security against service denial. Apple, by being the sole guardian and steward of the iPhone app ecosystem, made all their users vulnerable to service denial (in form of app removal). If there were alternative mechanisms available - ex competing iPhone app stores - the vulnerability would be negligible.

However presently the vulnerability is glaring: all it takes is single legal action - or even just enough of pressure from government on a key market - and the users are denied use of certain apps.
To be completely honest, I think FAANG comp has been going down and is now overblown. FANG stocks have gone up so much, most are now stalled and are starting to decline. I’ve seen a bunch of offers come out of google and Microsoft that are honestly low balls.
The vegan/veg restaurants I've tried even in the US focused on fresh vegetables and grains in interesting and delicious ways. I've never gone to one of those places and seen fake meat though I have to admit the number of vegan/veg restaurants I've gone to in the US can be counted on one hand. I'm omnivorous by practice.
I guess I mostly agree, but this part has me wondering:

> Linux does genuinely involve a fair amount of config struggles.

Am I

- insanely lucky?

- forgetful?

- or do I just have very limited scope of what I want my Linux machine to do (non competitive fps gaming, development, mail, simple spreadsheets and word processing) ?

- or have I just been very unlucky with my Windows installations for 15 years?

- or am I just born to be a Linux user?

Since Ubuntu 06.06 I've found one or another Linux easier to install and use than Windows.

I remember having to install an official package (915 something?) to get my resolution correct back in '06.

I remember a bit of struggle to get it working in dual boot once secure boot came (but only because I wanted dual boot).

The last year I remember learning that balena etcher is now the way to make bootable usbs.

Meanwhile on Windows it is a constant struggle each time I get a new machine. It keeps getting better but with two or three exceptions there's always something that makes it laggy, even on high end laptops. Solving it might hours of work and weeks of calendar time, and sometimes there's notjing I can do and I just have to wait for an updated driver.

In my eyes the advantage of using Wimdows is that the IT department will support it. On the other hand I also only need support when I work on Windows.

(Have used and supported Windows since 3.1, so I know it better than many others even if I don't line it : -)

The problem is that these kind of automated system give governments more leverage than policing using people, and it enables them to do systemic oppression. Also, people have a moral compass that can prevent them from doing bad things, while machines don't. But everything is fine as long as the government is ok. I come from one of the eastern EU states which were under communist rule, and I am naturally more skeptical towards these systems.

edit: I understand that in this particular example the data is stored only on the phones, so your face is used only used to generate a unique signature, which I don't find that bad. But it's important that this is kept in check and that the system is not extended later to centralise all this data.
This isn't the same. We discussed collection and storage in a database.

This story is about someone refusing collection, which is an offence.

He was not entitled to refuse DNA collection but his DNA could not have been stored in the database unless the case met the legal threshold.
Children of a non-leaf tree node must be optional because otherwise the node would be forced to have both children.

Look at them as a way to help people slowly transition their taste buds to a new diet and to help people easily cook meals that both vegans and non-vegans would eat.

To answer your question (sort of): in my state it is not possible. It is state by state; my state is "at will" employment. This means, in my state, you can be fired just because. Employers in my state can't violate federal law of course -- they can't discriminate etc -- but they can fire you because "you're just not good enough" with no details or documentation.

That said, it is likely CA has it's own set of protections that make it harder to do.

Usually, it's the company's internal policies that require a PIP and all the documentation even in an "at will" state. This is to maintain the appearance of fairness and to avoid the possibility of employment litigation (companies of course often operate in many states and federal law is always a concern). If you document, you avoid all this. The firing though is usually a _fait accompli_; the PIP is CYA.
As to Apple, there’s no way monopoly laws apply, so new laws would have to be made. Making new laws takes time, as it might be challenging to phrase a law in such a way that it can’t be circumvented and doesn’t have unintended consequences.

Also, government mills mill slowly. In the anti-trust case against Microsoft (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Microsoft_Cor...), where laws and jurisprudence existed, it already took 6 years from (first FTC investigation started in 1992, anti-trust lawsuit started in 1998)

I don’t think it is a matter of oversight getting weak; it just takes time. Certainly, the EU is willing to take action.

Is it that it's easier to become a hosting provider there with more protections (rights) and/or does America/NA lack the legal authority/process to conduct as many raids. Obviously eastern Eurupe/Russia is the wild west but I'm just suprised how much comes out of western Europe.
Biweekly? One every two weeks or twice a week.
The only meat I'd eat is from an animal, living in excellent conditions, dying of old age. If the species was ever bred, it must have been bred exclusively for health and fitness, not for higher yield of flesh or milk. If it was not bred, the reproduction should have no human intervention.

Everything else life related should not have human intervention, if it does not improve upon the quality of life.

Although, this view is pretty idyllic and probably unattainable or not profitable.

Probably because HN is mostly frequented by programmers, and not managers or "startup entrepreneurs" who throw around terms like "10x programmer" as if it's a thing that actually exists, and not a harmful concept that at best promotes gatekeeping and at worst promotes egotists who believe that their sloppy shortcuts won't have to be cleaned up by everyone else when they inevitably fail.
In theory I have the perfect job: I create developer tools to be used with my company's platform. I choose the tech, decide the features and when to deliver. The commute is OK - about 30 minutes from door to door. I get reasonably paid but the workload is just too little. I have to come up with things to do just to fill in the mandatory 40 weekly hours in Jira.
There aren't that many developers using our tools and there isn't a "push" to improve/evolve them so I just drag any tasks endlessly so I have enough to do all week. Still everyone is quite happy with my performance as I get shit done. I know I am not the only one. Other departments have people just idling most of the time.
I feel that I am completely useless. I've already mentored a junior developer so I guess he could handle it on his own.
I am seriously done with this and I would consider moving to a new job if it weren't for two problems: I am having my first baby in a few months and there aren't any product companies around (I don't want to go to a consulting company again).

This is very relevant to the discussion about Dropbox - which I really don't expect you to respond to being they are sort of a competitor (yeah I know -- not really https://www.backblaze.com/blog/sync-vs-backup-vs-storage/). But, how BackBlaze decided to run their business (bootstrapping) and how Dropbox decided to run theirs (VC backed early on and still not profitable), is the perfect example of how taking on VC funding rarely leads to a good long term customer focused outcome.

Also of note, unlike Dropbox, Backblaze was able to release a new slightly more enterprisey product - B2 - without losing focus on the main product.

On the other hand, it does take a certain amount of 'privilege" (yes I hate that word, couldn't think of a better one) to have five founders who could afford to not take a salary for a year....

But one criticism, any time you post a link to the Backblaze blog it should come with a warning. It quickly led me down a TVTropes type rabbit hole of reading more interesting articles.....

Mental illness, addiction, the constant 24/7 stress of being homeless, potentially systemtic issues starting from childhood that gets in the way of developing necessary reading skills to accurately analyze and knowledge base understanding of the concepts being read, etc. are all factors that would make reading and understanding any consent form of enough technological-legal terminology a very difficult task.

>Capitalistic enterprises really shit on vegetarians for some reason, and I can't quite figure out why.

What? That's nonsense. You'd be a fool to have nothing suitable for vegetarians on your menu these days, there's quite a lot of them out and about anymore.

>The local pizza place put a flyer in my mailbox... they have plant based pizza now with cauliflower based crusts... vegetarian peperoni and vegan cheese... two servings of vegetables in the crust alone etc etc...That's great, but why does it cost twice as much as all of the other pizzas on offer?

I own a food service establishment and price is always determined first and foremost by two things: food cost and labour cost. That sort of pizza would be a right pain to make labour-wise, and vegan cheese is very expensive (not to mention dreadfully bad, but I digress). That pizza costing twice as much as anything else sounds a bit on the extreme side but not too terribly out of line, especially if it's a rare order (I suspect it likely is).

> ...I’m curious how you can get away with telling someone you’re just playing a game and lie so much...

Since you’re curious: homeless people aren’t important to Google or society in general because they have so little and everyone has all but stopped caring about them. They’re poor, they’re unfortunate, and so they’re exploited. This has been happening since... leafs through book forever. Serfs used to toil away in fields until they perished, and nobody gave a damn about them either.

They did this because they could get away with it, because they (and probably Google) knew there wouldn’t be any consequences. It’s the same old song and dance: the poor get explored for the benefit of the rich, and most people don’t seem to care.
Vegetarian in NYC here. There are plenty of spices used in vegetarian food. Maybe non-veg chefs in the west don’t know how to spice food, but there are tons of spices used in veg dishes from all over the world. Typically I can judge how a restaurant is going to be if I look at the veg options on a menu — good chefs certainly know how to use spices and how to cook vegetables.
