The exact guideline is "If the title includes the name of the site, please take it out, because the site name will be displayed after the link", and I think that wording speaks from an outdated mindset where every submission is a standalone web page that _has_ a title, for one thing. This submission is a web page with its own title, of course, but that makes it sound like the guideline hasn't been rethought in too-long of a time.

For a contrived example of how dated the guideline seems, what if somebody submitted a tweet thread criticizing Twitter the company with a headline/sitebit like "Twitter now banning third-party clients. (twitter.com)". Would it have to be renamed to "Now banning third-party clients. (twitter.com)"? That would make it appear to be a more official statement instead of an unsponsored opinion.

I'm picking on Twitter out of recent memory of this submission of mine a couple weeks ago, where the submission title "Tracking down the true origin of a font used in many games and shareware titles" was 100% my own editorializing for lack of title-worthy material in the linked tweet itself: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21667238

This may not be a popular opinion, but if you need to dedicate a single FTE to your webpack configuration, something sounds amiss. Alternatively, if that's your engineers only skill (building webpack configs), that also sounds quite suspect.

In most projects, the webpack configs are not edited often, maybe unless you're upgrading a new major version of Webpack itself.

Question for the group.

Working backwards, what percent of GDP do you think should be taxed by the local+state+federal government? Relatedly, what % of GDP should be spent by the government each year?

Right now the US spends 36% and taxes 32%. That.. seems pretty reasonable to me? Maybe a little high tbh. I definitely don't think the government should be spending more than 50%.

I'm curious what other folks think. Working backwards, what should total spending/taxes look like? Then how do you get there?
Warcraft 3 seems an RTS (you can do everything you could in WarCraft 2 there, WarCraft 3 has quite a number of "classic" missions) with simple RPG-ish elements (heroes, artifacts, NPCs) yet I can name what I see as a much better example of the same genre - Dawn of War / Soulstorm.
Indeed, it seems like a pretty subtle distinction. Given sufficiently bright light, sunflowers would certainly pass the behavioral experiment done here (which is very nicely summarized in Figure 1 of the paper).

The distinction must be in the ability of these starfish to resolve objects (with an angular resolution between 30-50 degrees apparently).
Also the “tf” in Printf in the example is syntax highlighted wrong.

Admittedly, I’d rather a development team spend more time and attention on their app than their landing page, but they should probably fix that since it kinda sticks out. Hopefully they’ll see these comments.
Having some communities support it does not contradict that it can still be an unpopular opinion. For example, consuming alcohol is a socially acceptable practice in practically all Western nations. There are studies showing the strong correlation between alcohol consumption and crimes, rape, homicides, etc. yet people are still willing to continue the practice because "it's fun".

>> Empiricism-washing is the top ideological dirty trick of technocrats everywhere: they assert that the data “doesn’t lie,” and thus all policy prescriptions based on data can be divorced from “politics” and relegated to the realm of “evidence.”

Well data doesn't lie. Because data doesn't _say_ anything. People interpret data and they do so according to their own inherent biases. And if the data is already biased (i.e. gathered according to peoples' biases) its interpretations end up far, far away from any objective truth.
This story has stuck with me for years. Any time I've over-promised what I could deliver or stand to miss a deadline or am otherwise stressed out by situations of my own creation it comes back to me.

This website often focuses on ambition and furiously chasing one's dreams, but it's nice to have reminders that in the end, it's the small comforts and relationships we've built that really matter.
JSON is much more static and predictable for configuration. Config through a real programming language was a mistake that many tools made unfortunately. Static configuration has several nice properties including cacheability and simplicity that cannot be guaranteed in a full programming language. Just look at webpack.config.js for an example of the opposite.

They seem to be pretty focused on editor usage, not tooling and ecosystem. That could definitely change over time, but I’m not currently interpreting this application as a pluggable IDE-like scenario.

They also have barely any information on their site, so it’s hard to form an opinion on this. It’s something to keep an eye on, though.
If by "sell" you mean "create a model no one in their right mind would pay for", then sure.
There was a period where I started seeing Webpack everywhere, being used by everyone, so I felt obliged to try it. I struggled with the concepts and configuration and eventually realized that I completely failed to figure them out. It was a heavy blow to my developer self confidence. Fortunately I recovered when I discovered Parcel shortly after. "No config" immediately caught me after the frustration. I'm grateful for and still use it.
Garbage code sounds like a fine new class of undefined behavior to add to the next C standard. You just need to teach ubsan to understand it.

Ah, I see you're thinking about platform devices where the web browser is running on the device being enrolled.

Yes, you'd have to use some other way to authenticate as yourself on a second or subsequent platform device. If you have a separate FIDO token (like a Yubikey or any of their cheaper Security Key products or dozens of others) that would be the obvious first choice to enroll.

Assuming that this is all largely fiction, you'll generally get a decent ePub of essentially any book published by a large publisher, and given that ePub is essentially just XHTML it's not "hard" to parse well enough for your purposes.

The margin of error for parsing the books is going to be smaller than any margin of error forced on you by GoodReads, anyway...

...but it's still probably not worth it.
Hmm... I guess that's a valid point, though I would never use them for logical composition simply because the names of these functions really hurt readability: They are basically higher-order versions of "and" and "or", maybe if they had those words in their name they would be less cumbersome.

“Oil Spill” – Fabian Oefner
Somewhat. Shell is probably trying to position themselves against their competition. Yes, it's probably near zero-sum game, but there's still competition between the various oil companies, etc.

So by having Said take on more stores (due to the quality and volume he proved) means that Shell could take a bigger piece of the pie.

> Nevermind learning more tech stuff...get a hobby.

100% agree. A lot of young tech people seem to go directly from school to career level job without developing hobbies/interests outside of work. While that’s fine...you should at least see if activities outside of work/dating/breaking up appeal to you.

Buy a mountain bike, get into woodworking, learn about bird watching, or anything else that interests you. Maybe getting more enjoyment outside of work will make having a chill job an asset instead of a source of stress.

If I were in your spot, with the benefit of the hindsight, I'd continue riding the gravy train until asked to leave. Don't fuck up too badly, do your job, just don't worry about it too much. Get off the promo treadmill. Spend bare minimum of effort on work. Put the rest of the efforts into your hobbies and relationships.

There's really no rational reason for you to worry about obscure corporate bullshit which will be gone and forgotten in 3 years. It pays the bills, but beyond that it's not your "life", so don't treat it as such. That's one of the benefits of being an _employee_ rather than, say, an _owner_: you get to leave work at work.

What you _think_ Google wants from you and what it actually wants might be two different things. For as long as they choose to employ you (and moreover, promote you), you can be sure they're getting a good deal as far as their requirements are concerned.

I think 'every' and 'some' are reasonable analogues, but the choice to make the implementations and hence their suffixes asymmetric wrt 'truthiness handling' is confusing to me, especially since these functions have existed (symmetrically) for a while in various schemes under the names 'conjoin' and 'disjoin'

I don’t really care about stuff like that. I assume I’ll get laid off at some point, but I’ve made so much that I don’t really worry about it. It’s hard for big companies to find people who aren’t doing anything.
The trouble I have with Webpack is that everyone has their own snowflake configs, there’s no interoperability, and the config complexity has been bad enough that you could literally have someone working webpack configs fulltime. How many legitimate reasons do you have to have the level of flexibility Webpack provides? How many different TypeScript plugins are necessary? There is a happy medium and Webpack is past it and off the cliff.

To be sure, Webpack is pretty amazing for what it can do, but I consider it harmful for the stated reasons; I do not believe unification on Webpack is helpful because almost literally no two Webpack instances is the same because everyone is repeating basically the same configurations but slightly differently (or radically differently in the pathological end.)

Of course using Parcel doesn’t mean literally no configuration, usually it means standard configuration. All of these softwares work standalone and already do configuration. Need to configure the TypeScript compiler? Use tsconfig! Need multiple tsconfigs? No problem, put them in different folders and you’re good to go.

It’s unlikely you’ll end up with something compromise-free but like dropping to assembler and coding out routines manually the tradeoffs of getting your perfectly ideal output are not necessarily valuable to your fellow devs or your end users. It must be evaluated at some level. For me, Parcel does a good enough job that I trust it to have sane defaults for development and production.

So about your question with CSS modules: you can use .postcssrc as usual, although I do not use (or like, to be honest) CSS modules so I would definitely be the wrong person to comment on how well it is supported.

(Addendum: I anticipate that some will pick up on the duality of saying Webpack configuration is bad but condoning and recommending other configs. To that I would say, it’s all about the details. For one, most of these config files are auto discoverable, whereas for Webpack you gotta know the command invocation. For another, Webpack configs are often executable Javascript whereas most other configs are not used this way. And to be completely honest, the amount of magical configuration you can do in Webpack is hardly ever paralled elsewhere.)

That's all totally awesome and cool, right up until the moment you want to add a comment to your configuration. Because you know, it's configuration, and that requires comments.

Quite a few tools went from just JSON configuration files to supporting both .js and .json.

Regarding caching, perhaps I'm mistaken but what's the issue there? Two JSON documents can be equivalent with different bytes so you need to re-parse the configuration file fairly often anyway. So what's the difference with just re-evaluating a .js configuration file and caching the output? If someone wants to put a `if (random() > 0.1)` statement in their config then that's their problem.
Damn. I didn't know that. thanks an awful lot...

# 2: End the tax deduction companies get for providing health-care to employees.

Right now, large employers receive a group discount from whatever insurance provider they choose. So to bring down healthcare costs in the US, which are 4 times that of the civilized world, this motley crew of economists suggests to eliminate the group discount. That'll work.

# 3: Eliminate the corporate income tax.

Yes, Joe Plumber's firm pays corporate tax in PA, but any multinational with a decent lawyer pays no tax anywhere. Incorporate in Bermuda, license the IP. In the interest of fairness one could abolish corporate tax, but one could also come down on tax oases. Why isn't that even suggested?

# 4: Eliminate all income and payroll taxes

We are supposed to have a consumption tax instead. The wealthier you are, the more likely are to invest. Less wealthy people do not have that luxury, what comes in goes out that month. It seems to be an attempt to shift the tax burden away form the politically connected class.

It's not convincing at all, there's too many aspects missing from the discussion to be taken seriously.
A cynic would say that Stan Lee was the ultimate sociopath: a real creator, but also a self-promoter and all about the Benjamins in the end.
So should we tax people based on their political power? A heavily-read blogger might have thousands of times more ability to affect the political landscape than an eccentric billionaire. If you were to do a scatter plot between wealth and ability to affect the political landscape I believe you’d find they were correlated but not that heavily; the things that give you political pull include charisma, eloquence, and gregariousness.

If we are concerned with cancelling out the ability of the wealthy to influence politics should we not also be doing something about charismatic individuals?
I'm not employed as a programmer per se, but I work with a lot of programmers and other kinds of engineers. I wonder if you're talking yourself out of the value of your work. A great deal of engineering is not creating fundamentally new components, but organizing and arranging things, fitting them together, and so forth. Is this a bad thing?

As businesses and their products get more complex, "systems" behavior becomes a larger part of making things work, until you might only need a few people working on components, and everybody else on fitting those components together in different ways. There's hardly any loss of honor in doing the 90% of the work that needs to be done and makes the business successful.

I think you can do two things. First, look into new technologies that you'd like to dive into. Second, start to rehearse your elevator speech about how great your present work is, until you begin to believe it yourself, because it might be true. Doing great work and looking for better work are not mutually exclusive.
