It is unlikely that any common law jurisdiction would apply freedom of speech so broadly but it is uncertain. It could be that even Germany only applies it in cases where it is clearly a matter of political speech. How broadly do you think this precedent applies?

lol those are exactly the same thing
Not only is it fine, I think it's easier to reason about the control flow with this code than with languages that support exceptions like C++.
The same could be said of each if you don't take them normally and then suddenly do. Vitamins just don't have a short-term effect one way or another.
Hi Stephen, I appreciate your willingness to accept feedback. I'm flattered that you would add a button to make my reading experience better, but I think a website should be readable by default, so the button would just be a workaround from my point of view.

I would also like to respectfully challenge your assumption that lower contrast text is less jarring for the eyes for long reading sessions. If it were so, they'd be printing books in light gray color, wouldn't they?

Looking at the Solarized theme, my guess is it's the yellow-ish background that removes the strain on the eyes, as #fff is typically very bright. Since most people aren't focusing on the background when reading, it doesn't cause the eyes to focus more than usual. However, changing the color of the text is a different matter because that's what the eyes are focusing on, and making the text lighter causes it to be harder to read.

That's easy to verify: on the opacity scale of 0.0 to 1.0, where 1.0 is fully opaque, #000 (full black) at 0.1 opacity (almost transparent) is harder to focus on than 0.9 opacity (almost fully opaque). The only reason why some (most?) designers wouldn't be caught dead using #000 at 1.0 opacity for text, despite it being the most readable text color, is because very few things in the real world are at #000 or #fff, so the general advice is to use some shade that's close to it to make the webpage look more natural.

They're essentially trading off readability for aesthetics, and my original comment was that you traded off too much readability for aesthetics, in my opinion.

That said, if I were you, I wouldn't trust my opinion or anyone else's really. Seeing as you made it to HN, you could run an A/B test to see if serving a higher contrast page causes people to spend more time on that page on average, presumably because they're spending more time reading the content, instead of just skimming it like me. That way you'd be making informed changes based on data, not people's subjective experiences (including mine and yours).

Just for fun, I fiddled with the text color on your webpage and I'd say anything lighter than #555 for the body and #666 for the h2 seems too washed out (with the same background color).

Finally, I do want to note that the content is excellent. Happy Memorial Day!
They will happily waste the time of anyone willing to take a call. They are so sleazy they make Oracle look clean.
Spot on, love the gyms here. They have MANY decent gyms where you pay by the hour, and sometimes by the minutes without any membership. And really cheap, about usd 1,5 per hour .

Nice point on being one of the hub for flying in Asia. It's connected to everywhere within 1 or 2 hours reach(Philipine,China,Japan,Korea, SG etc...)
You know, I am 100% for piracy because I believe in sharing rather than culture paywalls.

That being said, your argument is ridiculous.
The good thing for homeowners is that renters don't vote. On top of that - many renters are also ineligible to vote in CA. (Cause no citizenship)

If prop 13 were to die, you'd think it'd be this year with all the budget problems coming up. It won't though. Politicians would face a mass exodus even if they kept in an exception for primary homes/business-locations. There's no way they'd all stay in office.
It's rare, and really cool, to have someone who's deeply knowledgeable about the workings of a business like this walk folks through things. Thanks for sharing!!!
Namesilo is a good option - I'll think about adding it to the mix. Thanks for the suggestion!
FWIW for those considering relocation: I grew up in the Seattle area and spent part of my career in Portland. I made a move to eastern Washington ten years ago, to do the remote worker thing. There are sacrifices you’ll make, but the cost of real estate is so much less than the coasts, it’s not that hard to get to either place for their respective amenities, and the whole not having a commute + access to the outdoors is overall a good trade off for the downsides of small town life.
When I was in college almost 20 years ago there was a lot of discussion about if commerical software would be produced anywhere in the US in the next decade. It was a legitimate concern of mine.
Damn, thanks a lot for the praise! Glad I was able to build a tool that many people resonated with :D
Complexity in any form can be lock-in to contractors, eng. teams, vendors, etc.

Make no mistake, serverless cloud services are the greatest building blocks of all time. That doesn't mean you should use all of them, nor use them in the most granular manner.

As always, the architect should make prudent decisions.
Presumably not as cheap though
What criteria are you referring to?
I wonder if we can make some of these mitigations conditional. When I'm doing key handling or online banking I want max protection. When gaming I want max performance. And I don't want to reboot to switch up kernel parameters.
Amazing that anyone can trust Mongo after this BS.
P2P git is an interesting idea indeed. There is GitTorrent [1], but it appears to be mostly abandoned at the moment (for the last 5 years).

The idea is quite nice but I wish it wasn't based in NodeJS. I also don't like that it integrates BitCoin - personally I think it just motivates people to try and take over the project.

EDIT: There's also GitChain [2] which again seems abandoned (since 6 years).

Until FB publishes how they'll set wages in different locations, discussion about the policy is pretty much useless. Since the actual policy is unknown.

Not that that has ever stopped an online debate before :)
Yup! As I mentioned in a previous comment, I'm thinking of training a deep learning model on the top 10,000 startup names and use it to generate available .com domain names that could potentially be in the format of a two-word/three-word domains too! Not sure how feasible this is gonna be but I'm definitely gonna give it a try!
Thanks for suggesting another avenue, we'll give it a try.
Oh Christ, I can't believe I made such a stupid mistake. Gonna go fix that now, brb!

Thanks for pointing it out btw!
Anybody who works at a company which produces goods or services and uses communication networks is a target.

Even an Excel spreadsheet showing the financial forecasts of a 10 person company is very sensitive information. It can be used to craft compelling buyout offers.

If the conversation between the CEO and the CFO of a 10 person company are discussing a Chinese buyout offer and are using a communications platform owned by China (whether a Motorola smartphone, a Huawei network router, or Zoom) the government of China has shown it is very interested the conversation is taking place, very interested in the contents of the conversation, and is willing to give the contents of its state espionage to its private companies to better compete.

Some anecdata: I generally do not feel caffeine at all after ~2 hours. This is consistent under all circumstances; whether it's the morning cup puttering out around lunch time or whether it's an after-work latte fading long before I need to sleep.

Honestly, if I'm truly tired I can go to sleep immediately after drinking a cup. I don't generally intend to do this, obviously, but I've never felt like coffee prevented me from sleeping. It gives me clarity and makes me feel invigorated, but it doesn't feel like the opposite of sleep.
I look forward to reading this. It's hard to find good examples of production ready Rust codebases's.
this is crucial, thanks! I'm to forgo c++ efforts due to this decision/intention.

on the other hand, rust does not support 32bit arm at tier1 either. https://forge.rust-lang.org/release/platform-support.html

golang so far still supports 32bit, but who knows for how long, after all it's Google who can do anything they want, plus golang is too fat for many embedded boards.

Thank goodness we will have C stick around for many decades in the long run, along with ash probably lua5.1 for scripting that is.

I mean it depends on when you need to do it, right? If there are vulnerabilities that lead to private kernel data leaking to userspace through the L1D, you’re talking about needing to wipe out your data cache on every system call, which might need to happen millions of times per second.

Also, context switches can be very frequent in some designs. For example, in micro kernel systems you often have ping-ponging with processes communicating with servers via RPC. Wiping out your whole L1D every time that happens could be pretty unpleasant.
Doc content [1] discovered via search engine has been a reliable source of new users for my recent published SaaS app. No SEO yet, already got 1 new registered user per week (haha don’t laugh at the small number). And a good day last week got 3 new, which is a pleasant surprise. Should keep doing this content stuff! One nice thing for acquiring users from search engine is that many people already know what they want, when they see a product fit, many would become a returned user.

This is hardly the case, speaking from experience as someone who hires programmers around the world.

There is no reason whatsoever why a programmer on $30k cannot compete in terms of productivity with a programmer on $300k.
I use this. It works well. As well not relying another cloud-thing, you can subscribe to "private" feeds (URLs that contain an API key) without giving your key to mentioned cloud-thing.

It must have been well over a decade ago. When I was looking in 2011, an average 1 bedroom was $2200.

I can vouch for iwantmyname. Great customer support that went above and beyond what they had to. They even worked with Protonmail to get my custom domain functioning.
Great, just reading up on it. I also have permanent residency in HK, so might be able to do it via that route as well.

I wonder if you have some cardiovascular problem like hyptertension or coronary artery disease. Not trying to scare you! It sounds like you are becoming more sensitive to caffeine in general but many of these symptoms could be due to high blood pressure
Feels as though this essay was written by Ned Ludd himself. Software has been constantly commodified and yet the hurdle the market expects you to clear gets higher at the same time.

Funny this blog in support of caffeine comes out when I'm two weeks into kicking my coffee habit. Are people going caffeine-free en masse?

In my case, I paid more attention to what I was consuming and coffee seemed like a good thing to drop.
That's good to hear.

But keep in mind if a virus is spreading in a community exponentially and the latency from exposure/infection to symptoms is greater in length than the doubling time then half of everyone who would test positive is going to be pre-symptomatic (and infectious).
Wife and I quit our jobs in Sydney and took six months to circumnavigate Australia en route to a new life of unknowns in sleepy Cairns, up in the north of the country (home to the Great Barrier Reef and also the oldest rainforest in the world). Was expecting to work remotely once we arrived, but am now back working in tech (non-remote) in definitely the most interesting job I've ever had, where I even get to dive for work at least once a month. Jigsaw falling into place.

We passed through so many beautiful places on the trip though, places that you immediately felt an affinity with and could see yourself living. From Jervis Bay to Tilba Tilba or Eden in NSW, all of the beautiful bays in East Gippsland. Anywhere in Tasmania, but particularly the west along the Pieman river - the forests there are older than birds and the air is the cleanest in the world. To the outback farms around the Grampians, the south eastern wine region of SA and the desolate Beachport, Kangaroo Island, up to Wilpena Pound. Esperance and Denmark (wow!) in southern WA, I took sand from every beach I visited and Cape le Grand was the whitest. It is like snow. The epic surf beaches from Hamelin Bay to Margaret River (and route 250, in my top five short drives in the world!) Way up north to Exmouth and Ningaloo Reef, home of the whale sharks, and then onto the sweet smells and rich colours of tropical Broome and the otherworldly Dampier Peninsula. The interior is possibly less-livable (but then I'm an ocean lover), but it is remote and beautiful, so it ticks boxes.

The world is an amazing place. More power to those who choose to test the boundaries a bit.
Wonderful idea. I find google to be marginally useful. Mostly though it returns a barrage of low quality results like mentioned here in the comments, that might be related but you really don’t ever want to see. Obvious though it’ll never be allowed on chrome’s web store.
In your specific SalesForce scenario they built SalesForce to stop people from coding CRM systems, and then people continue to make money building connected abstractions / Apps on top of other systems that are SalesForce compatible so you get an app ecosystem that abstracts away all of these integrations. The result is less code.

I agree that there is a lot of complexity specifically for "mission critical" or "last mile" systems that will not be addressed by the mainstream abstractions for many organizations, but I don't think SalesForce is necessarily the best example. I see the author's hypothesis freeing up time to do a lot more things within organizations that are otherwise on the back burner because you can't get to that feature set, and/or pivoting to solve either a) complex problems that are not yet solved or b) specializing on a layer that is now "platform". Somebody builds AWS, and Azure, and GCP. Somebody has to create, build and maintain the next platform / abstraction too.
I think the general negative stereotype about Spaniards in Mexico is that they're brash and stupid. Mexico's negative Polish jokes demeaning a culture's intelligence would be comparable to Galician jokes, dating from a time when there used to be more Galician immigration into Mexico. Iberian accents don't sound cultured and distinguished to most Mexicans; also, Spaniards more casually use words that sound rude to Mexicans or use words with different general meanings like "coger" ("take" in Spain but "fuck" with sexual meaning in Mexico). It's a funny situation not comparable to how most British accents sound cultured and distinguished to US nationals.

On the other hand, Mexicans use more diminutives compared to Spaniards and have lost the informal plural "you", always using what would be the the formal form of address in Spain. Mexicans often also say "¿mande?" to acknowledge you or request that you repeat yourself, but this more literally means something very servile like "order me" or "what is your command?", a remnant of the Spanish conquest of Mexico. For this reason, Mexicans sometimes sound excessively polite to Spaniards.

Of course, these are just broad stereotypes and it's entirely possible that pier25 has not experienced any of this. Possibly simply due to being foreign and the generally unacknowledged racism we have in Mexico (white is pretty), pier25's experience may have been entirely positive.

Also, pier25 may look like a gringo but he's not a gringo. In Mexico, only people from the US are gringos, regardless of their appearance. Obama is a gringo; Trudeau is not a gringo (other countries use the term "gringo" differently). As soon as pier25 speaks, no Mexican would call him gringo. Gachupín is an older somewhat pejorative term for Spaniards in Mexico, but I think it's rarely used nowadays.
>On the other hand, in an era of climate change, it seems like trying to hold on to as much freshwater capacity as possible also seems like a prudent idea, and I'm not sure what the best way to reconcile the two would be.

Climate change doesn't mean warmer temperatures everywhere or a dearth of freshwater. The Hudson Valley area referred to here has plenty of fresh water, is projected to become wetter according to most climate change models, and has become wetter recently (significantly so the last few years).

Maybe to be shown alongside all the illegal movie results?
Having gone to a lot of bars on my own, my experience is that people talking to lone strangers in bars is something that only happens in movies.

Alternate theories are...

1. I'm doing it wrong.

2. I'm going to big city bars where people don't talk to strangers.

I've never been to a book club, but at least it's an event specifically for people to talk to each other.
This. I've been in Bangkok for the past year and the air quality has been really bad. Not as fatal as china but almost there.

other factors

-Food is cheap but novelty wears off eventually and you will want to cook. Apartments are mostly expensive and small [in BKK] so kitchen is small. Western style groceries are expensive.

-Its too hot. Traffic is really bad. Public transport is air conditioned but walking to skytrain etc is tiring because of the traffic, pollution, heat around you.

-Wework or similar remote coworking spaces are not cheap

-Language barriers

-Time difference with clients back home [major one]

I did one month in Hanoi, Vietnam and hated it. Places with infastructure worse than Thailand make it awkward if you have to work everyday 9-5

Hi! Thanks for reaching out! There's an open issue related to your question:https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/16229

You can't delete attached files if some of them were uploaded by mistake - It's better to use the issue tracker for a feature request.
It doesn't make sense to you because it seems you're of the belief that onboarding processes should suck. If you don't feel that way, then you're less likely to discount them as signs of negative things to come, such as in this case.
The problem is all of the competing products are almost identical in all the features and software departments. The only way they can compete is on content, but the platforms are only useful when they have most of what you want. The more platforms compete on content, the less useful they all get.
Unless it's a term like hip-hop. Then I think the hyphen is appropriate and even sought after.
Imo you should never start with seo because it's expensive, takes ages for you to rank.

I'd just spend a few hundred dollars on a adwords campaign.

You know which keywords actually converts to paid users and then you can invest in your seo campaign.

If you just do seo you have no clue what keywords convert (unless all seo traffic is from 1 keyword alone)
The problem is everyone is going to pick the one that has the most content and is most popular, so the competitors will all die unless they start making exclusivity deals.
Industrialization of clothing meant the amount of labor required to create clothing dropped drastically

Those jobs just moved to Bangladesh. I think they are just as inefficient as always. But the west traded textile jobs for other forms of service industries and more complex manufacturing.
No one makes clothing inside a western country as cheaply as they do in Asia, but the conditions in Asia are not heavily automated. They just have more people and an economies at a stage where that sort of work will provide.

I suspect we'll just make more software. You still have to think and there's an upper limit to how much you can automate, and how costly that last jump from some automation to full automation will take.

Music streaming services have almost completely killed music piracy. It only exists today as a way for serious torrenting enthusiasts to get lossless or obscure albums
Eventually the market for software will be much more saturated than today. It has already happened for consumer desktop applications. The rate of new commercially successful desktop applications has dropped in the last thirty years. Sooner or later software for businesses will be "done" too.

Am I wrong to assume that cloud vendors are the most worried about these sort of exploits? Having exploits that would allow customers running on the same hardware to access each others' data seems like it would be disastrous for them. So much so that they're probably OK with paying the performance penalty (or, more accurately, passing the extra costs onto their customers!).
What the author wants isn't a book club. He wants a secular Bible study. Most people don't treat reading like that, though.
Hey Adam! Thanks a lot for your kind words! And I totally get where you're coming from - I've always been intimidated by responsive designs as well, but then I learned about percentages and screen-size specific designs and though the process is a little tedious, I was able to finally make my designs responsive and conducive on different screen sizes.

As for resources, I usually refer a lot to CSS Tricks, Codepen.io, W3 Schools, GeeksforGeeks, and good old StackOverflow when I'm building my websites. Hope this helps! Also, feel free to reach out to me via Twitter - I would love to keep in touch with you there!
