It was not a mistake. The theory being that HTML describes the structure, and CSS describes the presentation.
Do not forget, that there are other ways for the page to be rendered: e.g. in screen reader or for print.
We had "HTML and CSS living together" with FONT and BGCOLOR and friends. It was not nice. Sad to see people wanting to get it back. We are finally comming to realize that maybe rendering HTML on the server is not so bad after all, when will we realize, that maybe the idea of separating concerns was not so bad after all.
And most importantly, when we finally start to learn the technology before trying to "improve" it. It looks like HTML and CSS is somehow considered not worthy learning and understanding, something do be disgusted about. Hating CSS for me sound like the lame bragging "I do not read book" or as the as lame jokes about PHP.

I'm currently trying to grok the finite element method. Gilbert Strang's explanation of the transition from the Galerkin method to FEM did more for me in terms of connecting the dots than anything else I could find on the web.

Not a lot of good fried food here.

I have only found one reasonably good fried fish place and most of the french fries in the area aren’t great.
I'd stay with what you enjoy. At 30 I could learn something once and have it stick. No need to review, didn't forget. At 65, it sucks when I learn something one day, and have to refresh myself the next day if it was complicated. But I felt useful and productive until sixty. Everyone will be different, of course.
I'm American and at this point I don't really like uploading data to US servers. I can totally understand the sentiment.
Almost all decent datacentres and compute providers have these features, and it's far from unusual to have downtime in an EC2 reigion to the point where the standard advice is to spread across multiple reigions to avoid being caught out. EC2 does not have DDOS protection as standard its an additional cost service (AWS Shield). They will just charge you an insane ammount for the DDOS bandwidth as standard.

Linode, DO etc all have these features at a fraction of the price.
Amazon said (to Congress, no less) that it does not let it's own team responsible to deciding on which products to buy & sell access confidential sales reports of third party sellers that use their platform. And then it was revealed that they regularly do get access to these information.

There's no reasonable expectation that Amazon will not use any data it can easily access to make decisions.

I don't find that your argument regarding "using US created computers" and "US-owned gTLD" holds water. It's very hard to build e.g. CPUs that will contain very advanced backdoors that are totally hidden but can easily be targeted remotely to gather information, and the same goes for secretly using a domain. Additionally, the cost of doing so is astronomically high: the total loss of trust in US chip makers and internet companies. They may very well do that during major wars, but not to steal some company secrets.

On the other hand, it's easy for Amazon to siphon off data from AWS and even just using meta data (e.g. looking at how and when a customer scales to what size) gives you valuable insight into their business. And if they get caught? A few politicians will be annoyed, a few media articles (but hey, they may overshadow reports on unionization, so it's not all bad) and potentially a few companies leaving their platform, while others will undoubtedly say "I have nothing to hide from Amazon, so what?"

In other words the threat model is dramatically different.
I dont think this is about AWS. The company they mention that was acquired was a web/marketing agency, providing solutions based on 3rd party CMS platforms - not a datacenter/ops specialist.
I really enjoy books on neuroscience that change the way I think about perception.

Phantoms in the Brain by V S Ramachandran - a book about how the brain organises itself in bizarre edge cases. The Tell-Tale Brain: A Neuroscientist's Quest for What Makes us Human. The Tell-Tale Brain: A Neuroscientist's Quest for What Makes us Human by the same author is also worth reading.

Admissions by Henry Marsh - An experienced neurosurgeon's account of how his job has changed over the decades. Really interesting discussion of what's important and how people react in a real crisis.

The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat by Oliver Sacks. More of a collection of interesting curiousities but does an amazing job of humanising the discussion of brain.
It's perfect logic, just not for humans.

Seriously though, "the end justifies the means" is a perfectly valid argument, and there's no point thinking yourself in circles, trying to bend the rules of logic so that it stops supporting a conclusion you don't like.

Instead, it's better to investigate assumptions and applicability - and there you'll note that humans are far from perfect rational actors, that people plan badly, miscalculate and forget about past costs all the time, and that power corrupts over time - and with those assumptions, a flat-out ban on "the end justifies the means" is now absolutely reasonable. Not because it's not a rational view (it is), but because it doesn't work for humans, with our faulty, hostile wetware.

The 3970x has a 280W TDP. It draws nowhere near 35W under full load. It's been measured in some benchmarks to reach 450W [0].

Luckily for blender we also have a great set of benchmarks with comparable results: https://opendata.blender.org/. While the 3990x tops the charts, even the 2070S beats the 3970x. That's more value, more performance, more efficiency for less cost.

Is the whole book actually worth reading? I mean the concept is very simple (although extremely important) and can be explained concisely in a couple of minutes - why a 500-pages book?
> Beating AWS on EC2 pricing is easy. AWS EC2 pricing is insanely expensive. German providers like Hetzner Cloud entered the market at 1/10th of the EC2 price.

This has always been my problem with AWS. Cost savings might make sense for someone who actually needs 200 servers but if I just want one I'm paying 10 times as much for half as much in terms of performance.

It rubs me the wrong way when a $70/mo AWS instance is more than twice as slow than a $10/mo 'traditional' VPS instance.

>So if ".org" is supposed to be for non-profits (and not-for-profits?)

Where I live what English generally name a "non-profit" have a single important juridical difference: the assets of the organization belongs to the organization, and can not be transferred directly to founders or whoever has control of its board.

Also a non-profit can benefit from some advantages on fiscal side that a for-profit can not, but the latter will far more likely "optimize" their contribution to public services.
Also, "my data is handled by a company under the EU law" is quite a good sale pitch these days.
That sounds a bit like the "unlimited vacation days" startup trope: you _can_ take as much as you want, but it comes with an invisible character tax that your manager will factor in.

Sure, if you are uncomfortable, don't come... But if your line manager is on site, they might remember that you were not "in this together" like the other, real troopers.

Of course EM will be on the line, he has no underlying conditions and access to the best healthcare in the world, what can he lose?
You conflated it by mentioning a “technical” degree being the “non-education” path.
Flaws in this line of reasoning:

1. Providing a well-rounded education is somehow impossibly expensive, whether with modern communication technologies like the Internet or paper books. Surely the solution is to make this education cheaper, not to simply get rid of it?

2. Ignoring the fact that a democracy doesn't work if citizens aren't educated. Quoting The Great Books of the Western World:

This answer...assumes that we can leave all intellectual activity, and all political responsibility, to somebody else and live our lives as vegetable beneficiaries of the moral and intellectual virtue of other men.

The trouble with this assumption is that, whereas it was once possible, and even compulsory, for the bulk of mankind, such indulgence now, on the part of anybody, endangers the whole community. It is now necessary for everybody to try to live, as Ortega says, "at the height of his times." The democratic enterprise is imperiled if any one of us says, "I do not have to try to think for myself, or make the most of myself, or become a citizen of "the world republic of learning."
Cracking the coding interview :)
Yeah I'm also laughing.

The senior engineer could have just as easily wrote worse code.

Just some weird obscure Javascript floating around editing the DOM directly causing untraceable errors in the future.

React helps with lots of things;

- Testability

- Readability

- Less side effects

- Documentation

- Rendering

- Error Protection

I could rattle on forever, might be time to write a blog post, gets a bit tiring reading the HN users who think we've just made the frontend complex for fun.

Frontend development is HARD, factors include;

- Plethora of device models/sizes

- Latency / Async / Fetching (data)

- Rendering speeds based off how you coded it

- State Management / Cache Freshness / LocalStorage

- Server Side Rendering

- Code Bundling (js and css)

- Design / Transitions / UX / UI

etc

Now why is all this important? Because to be a competitive app, it simply has to be sexy and slick.

If I could do that with one style tag and one script tag, I would.

I will take the bullet and suggest Ayn Rand's Fountainhead.

If you are a teenager it will definitely make you think and likely leave an impact on you. It's not a typical novel, more like philosophical ideas presented in the form of a novel. Ideal characters placed in real life. You will also understand why the world is divided into Ayn Rand lovers and haters.

It questions how the world works, how it should work, how people live their lives, and how they should live their lives, etc, etc.

Warning you, it's not filled with plots twists.
What I really liked about Hetzner is that they provide VirtIO drivers so you can install Windows.
No, that is a false misleading quotation. Here is what I said:

> one half technical education based on economic needs,
My first instinct was that atmospheric attenuation would be the biggest issue here. But some preliminary searches suggest that is not really the case.
Figure 4 from here https://globaljournals.org/GJRE_Volume13/4-Propagation-Power... gives an attenuation of at most 0.2db for 3Ghz atmospheric attenuation (0.2db at an angle of 10 deg, 0.02db when a satellite is directly overhead.

This means that essentially, power loss from distance is the only real issue power-wise. Which could be compensated for with large enough directional antennas.
Next thing I'd be worried about is angular resolution. As I recall, lower wavelengths have more of an issue with diffraction. So it might be hard to design an antenna that is able to listen to a small enough area that you can distinguish individual devices.

Cause if you are getting a 100m resolution, that means receiving all BT transmissions in a 100m diameter circle. Doing that in a city would probably give to many overlapping signals to do anything with. It might be nice for tracking people in the wilderness though.

I have no idea how optimistic or pessimistic the 100m number is. I get the feeling that with phased array antenna's you could probably get higher resolutions that you'd think. I would guess it might be worth it if you want to trace signals out in the open (say, in middle-eastern deserts)
Isn't Tesla the only car manufacturer with no reopen date in the next couple of weeks?
As someone who has worked in private offices, cube farms and open offices, I have to say the private office space allowed me to think deeply about things in a deliciously uninterrupted way. But then again ... I once spent the whole day thinking about a class I was designing, making just a few marks on a white board. The modern approach, AFAICT is to whip up a test and start coding. I don't believe it's better, but it is the current fashion.

What legal implications? AWS customers can choose to keep user data wholly within the EU regions, or they can transfer data freely between EU and US regions thanks to Amazon's certification under the EU-US Privacy Shield framework.

One of the great strengths of AWS is their phenomenal compliance department - whatever regulations you're subject to, AWS offer tools, guidance and support to help you maintain compliance. That's one of many, many reasons why AWS is simply incomparable with cheaper cloud offerings from smaller providers.

Of course automation lowers prices, but only for the customers, for LIDL it will first of all decrease revenues.

Once LIDL's (and other discounters) customers move towards ordering on the internet, they will not queue up at the cashiers' any more and therefore the revenue with LIDL's highest-margin products - the trash & cheap alcohol that is stocked in the cashiers desk waiting area - will evaporate.

It took me a long time to understand this relationship, but while discussing this with a machine learning expert hired by LIDL it suddenly clicked: this is basically why they don't innovate further in terms of offline retail experience.

> Handshake looks like it wants to create another "gold rush" for "vanity" names.

I don't think that was the goal, but yes, this gold rush is already happening, even though it's not clear whether Handshake will ever receive any meaningful adoption. And I can understand why you find it distasteful.

> Are there limits on how many names a single applicant/organisation could register.

There aren't, and if there were, they would be easy to bypass.

IMO He's not questioning how serious covid is, he's just blind to how serious it is because he's part of a strata that is not really affected by it.

Possibly, nothing has changed in his day to day life compared to before, so the situation must not be that different, right?
Just out of curiosity what do you do that earns you 100k in Italy if I may ask?

Most Italians I met working in Austria and Germany left Italy because of low salaries and they're not making anything close to 100k here either.

I've even met Italians who moved to Eastern Europe for higher tech salaries than back home so something doesn't add up.

That's common enough. And even in countries which should know better, accents often get mangled or dropped altogether from names, even the most common accents. Talking about é in Belgium, in my case - in Flanders, though I assume that it's handled better in Wallonia and Brussels since it's very common in French names.

The negatives are pretty well known. I've seen information like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_plan#Evaluation

On a side note, Amazon is unable to penetrate ALDI & LIDL's market share because they offer better prices. It's as easy as that, and it is not about whether German people love waiting in queues or driving to some shop. The savings by shopping at discounters are very real.

Once you factor delivery costs into the equation, many German food retailers only offer the more expensive brand foods for delivery, and not the cheap stuff - exactly as Amazon does.
