Twenty years ago we had a Boy Scout in the neighborhood that was kicking front doors in and doing snatch and run burglaries, purses, cameras (phones weren't a thing yet). Mid day. Do you know how loud that had to be?

Most people lost more from the door/door frame damage than they did from the theft.

We used to buy popcorn and snacks from him when the scouts were fundraising. Great opportunity to case places....
I feel like there is too much emphasis on these and not enough on the ones that earnestly want to go back to work. There should be a balance here, as we really do need a lot of students to have access to schools in the fall.

Remote learning doesn't work for everyone and leaves a lot of people behind. The overall consequences of another lost semester may be far worse than the consequences of reopening.
BS. My area had fibre since the 80s or 90s and that's why we had to have dial-up until early 2000s. Early DSL only worked through copper.
100% agree. I found this to be a good guide: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS

After spending a few hours reading up on topics I thought would be relevant, I find that I am significantly more productive with CSS. Instead of trying to find answers on google, I find that I’m better equipped to build things and diagnose issues on my own.
How many? 2? 200? 20%? 90%? Without an answer to this question this doesn't seem a productive discussion.

Even with the stronger safety net, it doesn't make up for the difference compared to the US for well-paid employees (such as engineers, or tech in general). US employees are much more well-off, there's no denying that. US levels for engineers compare more to Swiss level of living.

However the safety net is much more beneficial for less-paid people, at a relatively low cost for them.

I only visited the US so others might be able to provide a more detailed comparison. It seems to me that rent is generally significantly higher in US cities (might be different in lower CoL areas), and groceries and other smaller budgets were slightly higher in France (restaurants, tech purchases, cars…).
> says they'll do it in half the time and tick every single checkbox in the massive excel RFP including the contradictory requirements and the requirements that flat out make no sense

I see your point, thanks for the counter arg, I can't refute this.

It seems the key strategy is to make the payer aware of how much BS they're paying for... but knowing all the people I know, I know that's just flat out not going to happen save for a very small percentage of people.
I just tried a datalist with 4 elements: https://jsfiddle.net/zguvdet0/

And it doesn't cut it for a foreign key: it can't even have a separate option value and label like the basic select ... Well, it sort of can, but then the user sees the value of the option (the related row id in the context of a CRUD) and not the label ...

Does that mean that when I choose "something" and go back to my form again i will see "123" because "123" is the id of "something" on the remote row ?

I must be doing it wrong ... otherwise, it's far from acceptable UX.

At the right sizes the included 'Mx' fonts should avoid those artifacts - they're ttf but contain embedded bitmaps, which seem to be better supported in Linux than in Windows (supported, but silly hacks required) or macOS (seemingly not supported at all). :)

I do want to include .bdf fonts in future versions, especially if the conversion is as simple as that. But if I do it I want to be sure I do it correctly, and I'm still not 100% familiar with the format.
Yes, we should all flock to an operating system developed by an advertising company in an effort to escape advertisements.
I feel like my company is a little too liberal with it. I suspect it might be a sign of some sort of fragmentation, but I'm not sure what kind (e.g. org chart, proj mgmt, no established point of contact for certain things).

The reason you “get so concerned” is because you are spreading fear, and you systematically attempt to censor anyone who points out that your fear isn’t supported by evidence.
> so people are leaving the cities where they appear to have careers/work/friends and are heading to the suburbs during lockdown because of the virus situation, while businesses are laying off and contracting/shrinking/making losses and are going out of business?

This is completely anecdotal, but I know a few people who have left urban centers recently to go to suburbs. And I know a bunch who are looking to. Over time this might even out... i'm sure many people, particularly those with young children, have been considering the move and now they have an impetus.

“Getting started with CSS must be harder these days than it was 15-20 years ago.”

Not like I’m teaching anyone these days, but I’m not sure about that. Yes, there’s just more now. Grid and flexbox and transforms and on and on.

But if you were totally starting from scratch, certain stuff is just way easier now, or at least, not a pile of hacks upon hacks. Basic beginner stuff that comes to mind…

• How can I center something vertically and horizontally without having to explicitly know the size of the container and object to be centered?

• What is all this float stuff, how do I just make a grid of icons?

• Wait, borders fundamentally change the size of my div? What?

• I have to do what now to have a drop shadow?

• How do I keep my branding colors consistent without having to make really sure I plug in the right hex values in every little color declaration?
The problem is that gross incompetence is not a crime.

You can't arrest someone on account of them being an idiot.

It's the responsibility of the other party members and especially the opposition to demand him being removed from office.

Funnily enough the Green Party demanded exactly that, but then again that's the same party that wants general speed limits...

So yeah, of course any party that wants to get reelected in Germany will stand behind that clown, as long as that clown fights for "Freie Fahrt für freie Bürger!" and lets them keep their drivers license, because 21 km/h above the speed limit is just a trivial offence...
Except you're ignoring the part where the copper cable policy he pushed against the advice of his experts made the company he sold his share to obscenely rich.

Is that also not corruption but incompetence?
> This is really a description where to find a document ("locator" not "identifier").

This is excellent. I wish more people would make your distinction between URL and URI. URIs really are supposed to be IDs. When put in that parlance, it's hard to say that IDs should change willy-nilly on the web. That said, I think that does deprioritize a global hierarchy / taxonomy for a fundamentally graph-like data structure.

> If you want something that does not change, don't link to a location but link to content directly

I see motivation for this, but I've personally found this to be equally as problematic as blending the distinction between URIs and URLs. Most "depth" and hierarchy that's in URLs is stuff that ideally would be in the domain part of the URL. For instance:

http://company.com/blog/2019/02/10-cool-tips-you-wouldnt-bel...

would really map to:

http://blog.company.com/2019/02/10-cool-tips-you-wouldnt-bel...

and the "blog" subdomain would be owned by a team. You could imagine "payments", "orders", or whatever combo of relevant subdomains (or sub-subdomains). In my experience this hierarchical federation within an organization is not only natural, it's inevitable: Conway's Law.

So I do very much believe that the hierarchy of content and data is possible without needing a flat keyspace of ids. Just off the top of my head, issues with the flat keyspace are things like ownership of namespaces, authorization, resource assignment, different types of formats/content for the same underlying resources etc. Hierarchies really do scale and there's reason for them.

That said, most sites (the effective 'www' part of the domain) are really materialized _views_ of the underlying structure of the site/org. The web is fundamentally built to do this mashup of different views. Having your "location" be considered a reference "view" to the underlying "identity" "data" would go a long way to fixing stuff like this.
Except the danger is overblown, there is risk ? yes of course, like everything else in life there is risk. Thats being said If they feel uncomfortable to work then they should quit, give opportunity for other teacher to take their job.
I 100% agree with this. We built our home in 2009 for an even $100,000. I live 40 minutes from the nearest 'urban' center, and probably 20 minutes from the closest 'town' (less than 600 people). Now, granted, we put a massive amount of sweat equity into this home, but

It's current appraisal sits at $275,000.

That is just unbelievable. It's not realistic. It's completely removed from any sort of reality. I mean, we have a nice house, don't get me wrong, but it's not worth over a quarter of a million dollars.

And that is every house within 20 miles of me. In the last two years our values have skyrocketed, and nobody knows why.
I consider this equivalent to the democratization of web site development and then app development. It’s certainly lead to an explosion of crummy and security-nightmare apps but in exchange has been an on-ramp for some good developers and exciting products as well.

The massive hype surrounding anything “AI” has caused the literature to become a dumpster fire, yes, but a handful of good papers still appear. Just use a low pass filter as with most things these days.
Someone else suggested posting different BTC addresses per account and framing it as a quick charity drive contest. Which is a better version of this, IMO.

As for which one would win, I don't know. I can see the argument of immediacy with the scam. The charity scam I think would draw in a lot more smaller donors but I can't see them feeling the need to immediately send.

Personally I would have gone with the bounty, then shamed Twitter for the (probably) low payout in an effort to promote my brand.
To be fair this is different for an email application because most email content assumes a white on black. This means that if you want to display the content in black on white it requires non-trivial and heuristic based fiddling.

Everyone should read "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power." It was printed about 15 months ago, but is still highly relevant to both convince people that there is a serious problem and also advice on fighting back.
You're technically right, but the Twitter API won't return the next 3600, even after deleting the first ones. The response will be empty, even if you know for sure there's more.

They will also provide the next chancellor of Germany, so I am not that hopeful yet.
Maybe this is the equivalent of the flash mobs in malls some years back?

Instead of people being physically present, they all have drones and fly them in a formation? Bored, smart, rich kids will definitely be able to pull this off.
Well, if you discussed some detail and can't remember which channel / thread it was on then the search is a must. I could agree that search may not be needed for a small team of a couple of people, but large teams with dozens of channels and topics should be able to search them to find required information.
Well that’s just humancentrism. The meadow delivers value to me while the desert does not. And most environmental policy is about preserving the environment for humans — after all, if we stumble into population collapse the rest of the world’s species will celebrate.
>We’ve had riots

>Who would buy a nice place in, oh, for example St. Louis, right now?!

People who want to live there regardless and see an opportunity to spend less money doing so. They're the same people who buy real-estate on the cheap after it's value has been depressed by a "fresh in people's minds" disaster in any other location.

Live in a city. Deal with city problems. If you want to live in Nebraska don't be surprised if a tornado flattens your property. If you want to live in Florida don't be surprised if it's underwater. Having rioters burn your home to the ground is simply the mode of destruction you accept some risk of by living in a city.

Personally I'd rather deal with nature trying to destroy my stuff rather than people trying to destroy my stuff but I can understand why people want to live in the city.

I'm happy that the world moved on to the point that json/yaml-like formats are strongly preferred.
Drill down in the data slightly:

In the developed world, CO₂ emissions peaked in 2007 and have been declining since. It's only in the developing world that they're rising, and that's dominated by China and India.
Y'know, just an anecdote, if I we're going to kill somebody for monetary revenge, I don't think I'd use an electric saw and dismember their body in a populated apartment complex. There are millions of ways the dude could've gotten clean if he just wanted him dead.

Putting on my tinfoil hat, but maybe the whole steal money to make that look like the motive is part of a much larger setup...
I sure hope so, right now the median home price is 4.5x the median income. If that continues to increase, we’ll be creating a generation of renters captured by whoever had the ability to borrow money to purchase the inflated assets.
Well, I (and the people in the tickets posting screenshots) have the autoformat on paste and other settings off but it still happens.

On top of that I've tried running code cleanup on the whole solution and it introduced bugs - I have an Image class in the project but it imported System.Drawing instead and prefixed the Image with some nonsense that didn't compile.

I think I'll stick to waiting here and there for the rusty Visual Studio 2019 rather than cleanup Rider's shit every commit
You need to account for practice shots, and misses as well. Though that gets you to maybe 1000 rounds. Though if you are hunting rabbits you need a lot more ammo. Most preppers are hoarding ammo too light for deer hunting, though a good shot works I use more powerful ammo than a typical "assault rifle"
The planet doesn't really care about the per person data, nor is it reassuring since human populations continue to explode, and the fastest growing CO2 emitters are in the countries with the fastest growing populations.

Per unit of GDP also should not reassure anyone since GDP is constantly growing even faster than CO2-pruduction-per-unit-of-GDP is dropping (according to the data you linked). Additionally, regional improvements in these metrics (prominently showcased for the US and EU) are driven by the fact that manufacturing has been relocated from the first world to developing countries - not because manufacturing is becoming significantly cleaner. In fact, the higher sulfuric acid levels in the Pacific are a direct consequence unfiltered coal burning in China - so we've actually made things worse by moving manufacturing to countries with poor environmental standards.

Net total CO2 emissions are all that matter. Moreover, even ZERO growth of CO2 is insufficient to stop increasing temperatures since CO2 accumulates.

The alternative to aggressive absolute level CO2 caps (something many countries openly refuse to agree to) some are quietly pursuing planning for failure. Planning for human migrations, sea level changes, and local precipitation changes, are things those with means are doing. ...and the more people with wealth and/or power begin to plan for failure, the fewer will work on preventing catastrophe. What emerges is an unfortunate game-theory dilemma without a solution where parties actually produce more CO2 in order to prepare for higher CO2-driven global temperatures, and the regional challenges they bring.

3) Have a violent history. (Vengeance oriented)

Can Engineering Productivity Be Measured?
I am constantly puzzled by people saying that AI is overhyped and fresh grads won't have enough jobs for them. Almost every real life industry: retail, logistics, construction, farming, heavy industries, mining, medicine have just recently started to try AI. The amount of manual and suboptimal tasks that have to be automated and optimized is enormous. I am pretty sure there is more the enough work for applied DSs with domain knowledge in mentioned industries.
On the other hand I can't understand how people can only use webmail. Do you only have one email account? I've got a personal email on a server I'm running, a backup gmail, a school/work account, and the root account for the email server. Even if I wasn't too lazy to set up webmail on my email server, I still wouldn't want to go to three different websites to check my email, I'd use a mail client to bring all of them into one place.
Who can we trust to operate an ODNS server? If the organization that runs it also runs a recursive DNS server (or has ties to one, or has been compromised by the same gov agency), then the privacy guarantees go away.
It's too late to put the genie back in the bottle. Whether we like it or not we're going with the Sweden Model. I've got school age kids myself, and I understand the risk. This is going to be a situation that could become hard to manage but our society's economy is constructed in such a way that relies on daytime programming for children and teens outside of their home. The teachers are going to have to help bear the load, just as we all are.

My mother is an elementary school teacher, and I don't want her to go back to school this year. The federal government is worse than useless, and the state government is feckless and unwilling to make the tough calls to protect people's lives.

She's been a teacher for ~15 years and still makes less than $30k a year teaching. She loves helping the kids, but her life isn't worth it.
Sure, but maybe instead of building a indoors ski slopes in the middle of the desert, you invest that money into creating world class research institutes, create educational system and promote science.

Then maybe you would start inventing technologies that will push your country ahead. They could have created businesses based on solar tech and export it to the world.

Thats what China did, and it worked out miracles for them.

Hello World blink an LED can be done in 10 mins flat, I'm afraid you did your intern a disservice by not giving him or her a basic intro and pointer to the docs. Do a goole search for vivado design flow and you'll see all those links I just posted. I lecture in digital design at my local university part time, and I use Vivado and in one lab students are already able to blink the LED, and much more.

I do agree the SDK side is a bit dodgy. My biggest bugbear there is project corruption partly due to being eclipse based. I understand thats been upgraded to Vitis now, but have not used that yet. Vivado is separate from that and is very sold though
I would prefer every student to be held back 1 semester from graduating high school than 1 more dead (if that were a possibility, but you get the point).

I don't even understand how its possible to prefer sending kids back over one semester. Of course I think the bigger issue is its just parents that want kids out of the house for a multitude of reasons including getting back to their own work.

They still have plenty of time to switch to solar domestically. Saudi Arabia's electricity consumption per-capita is only 75% of the US's, and their population is only 10%. Their domestic oil consumption is only a drop in the bucket compared to the export market.
