They do now, but it wasn't always like that.

WindowBlinds[0] on Windows XP was extremely customizable. I remember the top community themes were usually dark and minimalist ones.

I've always had good vision so maybe I'm biased, but I've never noticed a difference in readability between the two. And if my display is >50% brightness and I'm not under direct sunlight, and I'm using Light Mode, I usually get a headache. In fact, in dark mode, because I'm not going to get a headache, I can generally turn the brightness up more, making for better contrast and readability. It would be interesting to see a study where they factored that in.

All of that said: we added dark mode to our app at work and my manager (who's older) commented offhand that he could read things much better in light mode. That was the first inkling I'd ever gotten that it was actually more effective for anybody. I'd thought it was just an aesthetic preference.

Anyway, it's as easy as it's ever been to support both, which I did when I recently rebuilt my personal website:

Global state in one happy place is basically what we've done with Blazor.

Instead of using cascading parameters and other ridiculously complex ways of passing state around, we inject stateful services as scoped dependencies per client request. These are effectively just POCO models with a functional interface for mutating state. Then, we take dependencies on these throughout the web application (I.e. within each component or page). An example of one of these used heavily throughout would be UserSessionService. Certain aspects of the application may have their own dedicated state machines like LoginService (which is utilized only during the login process). LoginService takes a CTOR dependency on UserSessionService and it all plays together really nicely via Microsoft's DI.

We've even wired events from server-side directly into these services so its not just for handling the client-specific interactions either. Integrating server-side events is trivial. It felt a little weird at first, but it seems we are moving in a much more sustainable direction now. I can actually test my UI state machines in complete isolation from an actual browser. Also, because they are simply .NET implementations, we can reuse these for other aspects of the application.
It's definitely good for the dads. Quality time with my baby is huge; I can tell how she is bonding with me with each moment we spend together, and I despair that I don't get these extended leaves the Finns have.
Why is Matt Stoller credible on this topic? Is there evidence he has better sourcing than a book he once read and a bunch of Google searches?
> The marginal cost of rendering another web page is zero, so economically there's no reason for them to pay anything.

Tragedy of the commons. The marginal cost to render another page is zero, but if 100% of pages pay nothing, the server is run at a loss. As a result, only pages that can get "stuck in" alongside revenue-positive content (or pages on a whole server operating at a loss with revenue generated via some other source) can survive (i.e. a patronage model).

> Further, the attention of a perfectly broke [person] has a value of zero

In addition to direct encouragement for consumers to buy something (what is called "conversion"), advertising is also used to shape public perception and garner general interest. Coke doesn't consider an ad vended to a broke person to have zero value, because their product becomes the thing that person will ask for if someone offers them a free beverage of their choice, and it becomes the thing they'll generally recognize as "a soda" over alternatives when the topic comes up at all. The Ad Council's products are generally not about getting a broke person to spend money, but to shape their behavior ("this is your brain on drugs," "#DanceLikeaDad," etc.).
Wondering how could I use my favourite React calendar and paginated table components with it.
"to get fathers to spend time with their children"

I'm all for fathers spending time with their children, but this kind of framing annoys me.

The feminist narrative, which governments seem to swallow, is that fathers don't want to spend time with their children, and force mothers out of their careers.

The reality is probably that it is primarily a financial issue. Fathers spending more time with their children means less money for the family, in most cases. Not only is the compensation usually lower than the salary, many dads also fear disadvantages in the job when they stay away for too long, which would also result in less money for the family.

And yes, there are also reasons why it is expected primarily of fathers to provide for the family. It is not just an arbitrary social construct.
Unpaid parking violations per diplomat in New York City by country of origin
Yeah, this is the quirk exploited by features on some phones like "always on display" to be remotely viable battery-wise. They still eat into your battery but because the screen is mostly black and the on-screen elements are dim + infrequently updated, you can leave it enabled and be OK.
If the answer you get is this terrible, then maybe you're asking the wrong question.

For example, I know the tale of a large multinational consumer goods company who bought their supplier for X. Coincidentally, the X supplier was also the largest exporter of X goods to the world and had a team of twelve who managed operations. The multinational company, in their great wisdom, decided to move the operations from what we Turks call "bakkal defteri" (basically pen and paper) to SAP. It turns out that twelve people were not enough to run the system over SAP, and they basically had to tenfold the number of operations people just to get it running.
Well, wait until you've researched DHMO! https://www.dhmo.org/facts.html

> Should I be concerned about Dihydrogen Monoxide?

> Yes, you should be concerned about DHMO! Although the U.S. Government and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) do not classify Dihydrogen Monoxide as a toxic or carcinogenic substance (as it does with better known chemicals such as hydrochloric acid and benzene), DHMO is a constituent of many known toxic substances, diseases and disease-causing agents, environmental hazards and can even be lethal to humans in quantities as small as a thimbleful.
> I (am actually told to) teach that changing the business to fit SAP is preferable to changing SAP to fit the business. And it's accurate advice. It shouldn't be, but it is. SAP is SAP. It doesn't care about your USP. Or your custom approach to business. As far as SAP is concerned all businesses are the same, they do the same things, and all must conform. Resistance is futile.

I've worked in companies making decisions around which ERPs to implement. You have two options: roll your own ERP or adapt your processes to an existing one.

The first approach means that you are basically committed to becoming a software company. At a minimum an ERP needs to tie together your accounting, supply chain and inventory. So it's not a simple endeavor and it's easy to mess up. You'll need a team of people to build it and you'll need ongoing support. Compared to these costs, the price that SAP or NetSuite will charge you for their ERP is trivial.

Alternatively, you can adapt your processes to an ERP. In many cases, this is the right thing to do. It means that you can use readily-available software and have practices that are good enough.
Is it illegal to build a player for illegal streams found publicly on internet?
I fully support this. Next time an Exxon spill leaks oil into the ocean, we should gather up our teachers and mail carriers whose pensions are invested in oil and put them in jail. That'll really show those polluters!

Sarcasm aside, this strikes me as the kind of vague solution waving that sounds great on paper and has no connection to reality.
Hello,

My apologies..I know this is a bit unrelated but I saw that you had a post for a full stack developer listed almost a couple months ago I wanted to find out if this opening is still available or if it has been filled? Thanks
The idea that the delay(s) hurt Buttigieg in any way is a profound misreading of the situation. Iowa has a small number of delegates, and it's only important in as much as it creates momentum for the winner going into the next three states.

If they released the vote totals on time and Bernie won, that would have given his campaign momentum, which could have lead (still might) to a NH blowout.

Instead, Pete got to "declare victory" twice -- night-of, and again after the 60% release. Now it really doesn't matter if they release the results and Bernie is shown to have won, because we're already multiple news cycles away from caucus night and most people aren't really paying attention, so it's going to be hard for Sanders to capture any momentum, if it's shown he has won.
Pete, on the other hand, got a significant NH bump from the IA results in the latest polls.

I think the only way it's hurt Pete is through IDP incompetence, where to most Americans (who hate a cheater and love a conspiracy theory) it looks, for lack of a better term, extremely shady. It's also fired up Bernie's base of die-hards, who are now on the warpath (or even more so) for the early states
My family is of Norwegian extraction and I'm a dad too.

My wife has a completely different relationship with my kids than I do. She also had to go through a great deal more to birth them than I did. Her parental leave was as much about medical recovery as it was bonding time with the kids.

And, to put this delicately, but as something that needs to be stated because it's true and important for the discussion: she has a different relationship with our children precisely because she is their mother. The two of us are not interchangeable. There are a million ways this is true. I'm an attentive and a loving father, but the sound of a crying baby is something that I can compartmentalize when I need to. On my wife, though, it is an unbearable sound with physiological effects even. (One that she uses when pumping milk, for example.)

If you are not emotionally autistic, one of the most striking things that you notice about other people is how startingly different men and women are in a myriad ways, many of them related to the care of other people (big or little). Personally, I find that this "gender equality" push winds up being extraordinarily anti-woman in effect, and whenever I see a man preaching it, I assume that he is likely a broken individual in his relationship with the fairer sex, certainly someone that I would care to keep far away from my daughters.
Also Sweden gives ~80% of normal income. If you mean 60% of [income before tax] without taxes, thats pretty good.
Finances.
I feel really bad for the people who made this thing. It looks like it was mostly interns/people at their first job out of a bootcamp.

It was a mess, sure. My first major project was probably a mess too, except my "mess" would have been looking at a display and going "huh?", not being accused of trying to undermine democracy.
As an alternative to having them download a separate app, have them download a browser that supports the stale-if-error Cache-Control directive. It's fair to ask people doing serious work not to use Mobile Safari.

It's also fair to ask them to keep checking the native or web app to make sure the data was sent, so one doesn't have to rely on web workers staying alive in the background. Just save to localStorage, catch network errors and keep retrying.
Ah, but you're not just paying coders.

You need tax lawyers to ensure you're doing that right. You need employment lawyers to ensure your termination process follows the law. You need accounting experts to ensure you're reporting correctly. In every legally distinct market.

How many laws, regulations and reporting requirements does your average chemical plant comply with?

I had a great experience back on Windows XP & Vista using WindowBlinds[0][1] to give the entire system a dark, minimalist theme.

There are examples[1][2][3] of 3rd party apps working well with the system-wide theme.

Other animals don't commute to an office hours away every day. There is practically nothing in human society which is very normal, relative to the natural state.

In fact I would argue this in many ways makes things MORE normal not less. Fathers in hunter and gatherer societies would have spend far more time with their children than a modern father.

A hunter and gatherer spend around 8 hours per week hunting. The rest of the time the family was quite close together.

> I'm saying there might be a good reason mothers should be given maternal leave and that there might not be as good of a reason for men to be given paternal leave. Gender equality doesn't mean both genders are the same.

Of course genders are not the same. But there is no reason to encourage difference just for the sake of it. The fact is that giving fathers and mothers leave works great for families.

I have lived through this myself. Your kids are much better off for it, and so are the parents.

Statistics speak for themselves. Nordic countries score well on family friendliness, child development and happiness.
A lot of functional and technical specs on Confluence, involving as many shareholders as possible. Prevents boring meetings, improves shared understanding, prevents surprises down the road, serves as documentation for new team members.

I don't believe it was that simple. Technically the full time position existed and hiring someone else would have required finding long term budget for another one. It was in a country were firing people is very difficult when they're on a permanent position so when you hire, you have to be sure you can make it work.

My throat burns when I eat more than just a dash. I wasn't diagnosed with an allergy though. So YMMV.
Not a Rust programmer.

It seems like there is a big difference between a "mathematical certainty that certain bugs will not occur" if you play by the rules and just be a better programmer so that you don't write errors. Not that you won't have bugs in Rust but it seems like we should move towards having our tooling do more of the heavy lifting in ensuring correctness. I don't believe you will ever have the bug count drop to zero. I do believe in mathematical certainties though.
"Sacred"? It of course has lots of satisfactions -- why would you have babies otherwise? -- but it's also energy draining and it can drive mothers to exhaustion and a feeling of isolation that can lead to depression.

And it's also bad for the fathers. Why wouldn't you want to spend more time with your kid? You made him/her, after all.
What about the Iowa Caucuses makes you believe these are "high information" voters? They often have nonsensical positions and ranked choices. They're committed voters, but that is not at all the same thing.
I started learning react a few weeks ago and I've been using react-router and thinking about learning styled components or something similar. I have a few years of "experience" with toy <5000LoC "webapps".

I don't think they're that hard to discover, although I spent a while trying other Google searches before I realized react-training's react-router was the real router everyone mentions. Somehow their website seemed quite scammy, and I was very surprised routing wasn't in some sort of core/stdlib.
I agree, it's a weird argument! However, if the points you paraphrased are supposed to be the premises, I'm not sure why they're inherently false. Maybe I don't provide ample research behind them. But are they obviously false?

1. Did an explosion of literacy due to the printing press lead to an interest in free speech? Makes sense.

2. Does endless debate / political gridlock lead to an inability to build in San Francisco? Every attempt to provide housing becomes a vicious argument between NIMBYs and YIMBYs. I also have personal experience working both sides of local development issues in Austin, and the challenges are similar to the ones in SF. As you're trying to go about your business in city council, someone will stop the conversation with some objection to an act or policy that would make everybody's lives better except for that one person (so they think), and then nothing gets done, or it requires expensive lobbyists to push through.

3. I don't have an objective backing of my city ranking, but I've socialized this high-density / high-functioning metric for some time now, and anybody who has traveled has agreed with my assessment with Asian cities. Note, two cities I mentioned are not in China: Tokyo and Singapore. I also forgot to mention Taipei, but that belongs on the list too.

4. I don't think free speech will doom the West. And that is not a premise anyways.

However, if there is a takeaway, my hope is that the West takes a deep look at itself as to what works and what doesn't work with its culture, and try to evolve without losing its soul. Barring that, then accept that as Asian cities evolve and support greater populations, the U.S. will be relegated to a minor player role, similar to the U.K. today. I just hope I don't grow old and discover that my beloved America is having its own petulant version of Brexit.

That's right. But other places are less polarized (maybe by a little bit) and maybe more peaceful.
In the new system in Finland, both parents get 6.6 months, of which they can give up to 69 days to the other parent. But in other words we can also say that both parents get 4.3 months, and then there is 4.6 months that they can divide between themselves.
> mistaken idea some employers have that the leave is some sort of "vacation"

I don't think employers think or care that it's a "vacation" (the experience of the person taking the leave) but rather that it's "paid time off" (the experience of the business paying the leave).
You are making some assumptions that I am unwilling to make. I cannot easily prove that you even exist. You could be a bot, or a sock puppet, or just a persona that only exists on HN. It makes zero sense for me to spend any time worrying about whether you were offended by something I said. Especially when there may be billions of you reading what I write. I can control my intent, and I have to be satisfied with that.

If you and I were talking face-to-face, then I may adjust how much I care about your feelings. But even then, it is entirely possible that your hurt feelings are unreasonable.

Could you imagine if you had a really important job you needed doing and the person you hired pulled this.
Honestly I'd probably "Expand the team" of people doing the job to two, get the not-a-replacement up to speed and just chalk it up to the cost of doing business that people can play the system like this.
>Seems a bit bizarre seeing that mothers in most cases will need to spend more time with their babies

And in those cases the mother needs extreme support. Like a father around to help her out with all the little things constantly and to give her a break.

It seems fairly bizarre that you think caring for a newborn is a 1 person job no problem!
You are misreading or misrepresenting what the article says. It is arguing that “limited liability” for shareholders de facto means “zero liability” for anything the company does. While that’s not strictly true, a shareholder in a public company indeed suffers no consequences for said company’s actions other than potential loss of their initial investment. The author is saying this is insufficient, as it leads to companies taking legal risks like building unsafe airplanes and causing pollution.

Does this not reflect the world outside your window? When I can put money into a company, then sit on it over a period of years and just watch it grow, what’s my incentive to prevent the company from doing bad things? When I can do that for hundreds of companies at a time, in the form of an index fund or ETF, and be virtually assured my money will grow over the long term, why would I do anything to prevent the company from taking risks?

TL;DR: “Zero liability” is not zero, it’s just so small it doesn’t discourage bad behavior.
Sorry, totally insubstantial comment, but noticed a typo towards the bottom. s/interopability/interoperability
Really depends on what you're interested in. I pretty much camped out in the Community devroom on Sunday and it had a number of interesting talks. If you're interested in licensing/policy, the Legal & Policy devroom talks/debates are also good.
I don't have to live with these people anymore.

Their "communities" are dieing, their businesses are failing, and their smart kid leave. The only question is whether those fools death throes doom the rest of us.

Hilariously, on the fringes they're being supplanted by refugees from metro areas that got priced out. Those people are bringing sanity to the wasteland with them like pilgrims in an unholy land.

From my perspective, I can do little to nothing to influence how all this plays out besides voting, living my life as I see fit, and directing my time and attention toward those I deem worthy. And that's exactly what I'm going to do.

To me, the Iowa Caucus Fiasco™️ is best explained by incompetence and embarrassment. A bug in the app caused it to fail, call centers overwhelmed, and a bunch of people who had been at the caucus for hours probably tried to take the reporting into their own hands, and caused even more delays.

Verifying the results that were scribbled on an undated piece of paper by 1600+ volunteers is not an easy task. [Esp after the fact, when the whole verification was centered around username / pw / 2fa / + pin, which may have not been readily accessible for call-center use].

The Des Moine Register poll was scrapped for less, which is why it feels like a cover-up. Not because of any candidate bias, but because the caucus probably needs to be redone for the results to be credible under scrutiny, or nullified entirely, which would be quite an embarrassment.

Reminds me. I once wanted / needed a KPI to monitor consignment stocks. So I needed agregated inventroy numbers fo the past. Quite a simple calculation, SAP has stock movements and the current stock. So just plus / minus, right? The external devs wanted 70k € back in 2011/12 to put that into SAPs Business Warehouse. Not being able to programm ABAP myself, I went to my manager. He came up with a report, in the prodcution system, after 2 hours, half of it during his lunch brake.
Yes so mom has work of feeding and pumping and dad just gets to feed. Completely unequal

That and half the benefit of breastfeeding comes from direct suckling. I will never understand dads who want to feed their kid so much that they make mom pump. Fathers have been close to their children for millennia before we decided in the last century that they need to feed their newborns too. Its okay if you and mom are not the same... Your baby certainly doesnt see you that way
