That product's license tiers are a complete non-starter, unprofessional, and they "call for pricing" on the only potentially usable license (but don't provide a copy of the CSO License for review before calling).

> A Prince Server License can be installed on a single server to produce PDF documents for company-internal use, or documents that are made available to everyone free of charge.

They never define what "company-internal use" means, even in the actual terms[0]. This was clearly written by a non-lawyer, and any company worth its salt wouldn't touch this (the "FAQ" isn't a legally binding document, and even that is incredibly vague/unhelpful).

> You many not use Prince to generate documents that are part of a Commerial Service, for example invoices and monthly statements.

So "company-internal use" doesn't include order/remittance/invoice/receipt to your company's suppliers/vendors? That's just bizarre, the whole licensing is. The "Service License" feels like a Honey Trap.

It isn’t about what you say. It is how it is perceived.
Opioids are a component of so-called "balanced" general anesthesia (GA).

Over my 38 years in practice (1977-2015) and some 25,000-30,000 cases, probably 95% were GA and the remainder regional/I.V. sedation.

Of the GA's, I estimate I used IV opioids in 95%. My drug of choice was fentanyl: fast and relatively short acting, easily titrated to response.

Along with fentanyl, I routinely used diazepam or Versed (I started in 1977 and Versed didn't become available until 1985), and skeletal muscle relaxants for endotracheal intubation and skeletal immobility.

Induction of GA was with sodium thiopental (1977-1989), thereafter Propofol.

Having said that, know that by the time I retired, I was in a small minority of anesthesiologists (most older like myself) who trained when balanced anesthesia was standard.

Today an overwhelming majority of anesthesiologists use only inhalation agents for GA and do not give opioids intraop. Inhalation GA often does not require skeletal muscle relaxants (depending on the surgical site), and if a patient is "light," they will react by moving and show increases in heart rate and blood pressure.

Diff'rent strokes.

FWIW, I am one of very few anesthesiologists with extended time in practice who have never been sued.

>Like would they scream and cry, just not know they were doing that?

Awareness under anesthesia is a whole different subject of considerable importance.

No I don't think they're war mongering, because a war is exactly what they don't want.

What they want is to leverage the power of a (well-run) hybrid command/market economy, huge population (larger talent pool), and power of being unsuspecting #2 and slowly absorb all the other countries and economies.

The US does this too, but at least we also want to spread democracy, so the people have a say.

If they can achieve the above, they will take control of the world.

JetBrains CLion. It's by far the best C/C++/Rust IDE I've found. Much nicer than Visual Studio (refactorings especially), very capable out of the box, good plugin ecosystem, surprisingly fast (obviously slower to start than vim/sublime/etc but plenty fast once running), and way nicer than the afterthoughts most chip vendors provide.
i would suspect as much. Home prices have been, as they cyclically trend to do, wildly inflated and overheated for quite some time now. Most homes command a minimum of 250k no matter where you look, with many of them existing as mere flophouses converted for a few thousand dollars with the cheapest lumber yard fixtures in an offensive attempt to cash in on the puerile american practice of "flipping" properties.

The market is sorely overdue for a massive "correction" to respect the near 40% unemployment in the US, widespread rioting, and crippling pandemic. Id put the counter at six months, but so far everything has defied the yield curve inversion and continued to run like a race car on nitrous. sooner or later somethings got to give.
> It's incredible how slow most of the email clients on the market are.

It really is odd. I've tried a handful of clients, but the one I wanted to work the most was MailSpring. The UI was clean, it was supposed to be fast, and have great integration off the bat. I forget if it was my gmail, my student email (through gmail), or my hotmail account, but one of them would just refuse to connect. If I can only have 2/3 of my emails, I'm not going to bother. That was a few months ago, so maybe it's fixed, but damn.

Thunderbird works, but if they could have some easier customization, I think they could really take back some of the market.

Rulers of resource-rich countries can maintain power while ignoring their populations. Rulers of resource-poor countries depend on their population's productivity for income. This is why autocracy and resource riches go hand in hand far beyond the effects of American hegemony.

Why should anyone continue to use Twitter if it is unable to guarantee someone won't hijack one or more of its accounts?

Let's face it, those aren't our accounts or our data. They are Twitter's.

All of that is controlled by Twitter, and intended to serve their business interests, or whoever happens to be controlling Twitter at that moment.

It was just a few days ago someone else was controlling Twitter.

I know someone who invested in the production of an indie film—actually, it was a documentary. I was told that in some cases (especially documentaries) the goal is for the film to be viewed as far and wide and possible. This requires lots of money dedicated to marketing, as well as someone who has the expertise and vested interest to generate a paying audience. The purpose of the film festivals is to find a distributor who will acquire exclusive distribution rights. For the producer who wants the film to be viewed by more than a niche audience on Amazon Prime, it makes more sense to find someone to market the film. If the film is immediately put on the streaming platforms, then the distributor loses the value and upside of exclusivity.

Or so I was told.
> I don't wish misfortune on anyone ... I would press it without hesitation

I can’t reconcile these two statements. People would definitely die if you pushed that button; I don’t think you want that.

> here in the U.S. we at least explicitly recognize that there are rights which humans naturally possess

Perhaps true, but only for certain values of ‘human’.

> Are you trying to say that copyright should be expanded to cover facts and not just expression? That it should be illegal to quote or paraphrase a small portion of a copyrighted work?

I think it’s pretty clear that I’m saying that fair use has been subverted by companies for profit, and that eliminating copyright will make things far worse.

> Freedom of speech is far more important than this runaway social engineering experiment known as copyright

Given the rate at which people are getting sick and dying in the US right now, I’m not certain that the “runaway social experiment of free speech” - as moderated and directed by the copyright infringing trolls at big social media - is working out too well for you guys either.

> Copyright law violates the 1st Amendment and freedom of speech even with fair use.

Didn’t you just essentially argue that the law is not morally authoritative?

You clearly believe that there exist natural rights. I happen to believe that the right to control the things I create is natural. Just because something can be copied easily doesn’t abrogate my natural rights, any more than the fact that your genome can be copied abrogates yours.

Despite what you think, its entirely possible and natural for me to suffer a loss if you copy something that I created, particularly if creating it was expensive for me, and your copying it prevents me from making good my loss.

While there is much I find dismaying about copyright law, there is nothing unnatural about it.

Current head of the EU comission and former defense minister Ursula von der Leyen is another perfect example of German government corruption. She provided old buddies at various companies with jobs and tons of money for suspicious "couselling", nothing of consequence from that, she just failed upward.

Maybe you can't bribe a policeman at a traffic stop in Germany. But in the levels above that, there are plenty of current egregious examples of corruption that has happened and was systematically covered up or ignored.
Yeah, but you can literally be 72 hour psych holded with absolutely zero contact with the outside world by the decision of a single, simple psychiatrist. That's arguably worse than being secretly arrested.

This isn't just a UI/UX skin to applied to your website. Looking for an example of what a button or other element looks like is irrelevant as it's customizable.

I personally appreciated the introduction to Custom Elements and an explanation of the philosophy of the framework. So much of what we do as developers involves tight coupling and lock-in to a full-stack.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'base-load problem', but what I mean is that you need a fossil-fuel base-load.

That story is strange - its pretty easy to separate mixed sand and rice. Toss it in a sieve for instance. Or just toss it - they are different densities and will naturally separate.

I have no idea what you’re talking about. Rust is not faster than c or anything else necessarily that is not garbage collected. It is almost as fast, and it has memory safety and as is made apparent in this thread many advantages in terms of usability and undefined behavior. Being the quickest i s not something rust is known for. So you wouldn’t be saving milliseconds. And calling an api is pretty simple so the security aspect wouldn’t be of much use. So you are wrong and the guy you are responding to is right.

Also a big tree of associates and their superiors from BaFIN, Wirecard, EY, KPMG, etc. (maybe also some institutional investors, who are supposed to do due dilligence) getting fired and prosecuted for defrauding and not checking properly, please. But I am dreaming - three people will get convicted, some ten-points program will get presented to reform BaFIN so business can continue as usual.
> If the jobless rate and GDP continue to suffer I can’t see this being anything but bad for rural and suburban real estate.

Why do you think it would impact rural and suburban properties specifically? It seems like a bad economy would depress city property values as well.
Thats not in any sense corruption.
Well, I think this will lead to a different kind of resource war (as opposed to mass migration from, say, drought-stricken regions fight for access to water) in which distributed proxies are used for reasons of efficiencies and reach.

BTW these proxies tend to be like poison gas: hard to manage strategically and often blowing back on their source (as with al qaida itself).

BTW al qaida can’t really be thought of as an “organization” — it’s a movement, more like World Communism in the late 19th and first half of the 20th century.

D’aesh (aka ISIL/ISIS in the USA for some reason) is an actual organization.
"Relative" and "Absolute" have their own definitions and by that definition "px" is indeed an absolute unit.
There is a reason we get so concerned when there is evidence of CNS infection. It's not as simple as "loss of smell."
It costs a LOT of money to build high voltage transmission lines (AC or DC) to transfer power over long distances. So even if they turned the entire desert into a solar panel, the cost to ship that outside of the region would still be billions.
This is exactly why all the people that said "choosing to protect life is also choosing to protect the economy" were right. It sucks, but people with savings can choose to quit over having to risk their lives. So if there is an appreciable risk (and associated hazard, which, for many of our older educators there is) then that is what is going to happen and you still get the disruptions to the economy.

I'm young and I really dislike slack. Sure, I agree email is shit but it is by far the best tool I have seen for this type of messaging. (Collaborative documents like Google Docs or Dropbox Paper being the other major async communication tool I value).

The major problems I see with slack and similar is that it is too easy to lose messages. If I click a channel, but get distracted before I can properly read or act on it, the message is effectively gone forever (unless I remember, or the next time I happen to open the channel). No other medium has the explicit "delete" (or archive or whatever) that email has. I find this way way way more useful than the "read" concept. Because read means nothing to me, even if I actually did read it (not that it was just present on my screen for a couple of seconds) it is incredibly likely that I forget about it.

Other things I like about email:
- Multiple clients let me use email how it works for me. I can control how it notifies me, how it sorts my messages and everything else I care about. Slack is ok, but I don't really believe that one size fits all. And I'm not sure that it even fits many people.
- I can send an email to anyone. I don't need to invite them to my workspace or channel or anything. Just enter an address and it is off.
idk if it's a tongue in cheek comment or what but when you sign up to work in the medical system it's kind of implied (and probably explicitly written in your work contract) that you'll encounter dangerous and unpleasant situations, much less for teachers, especially when the whole thing is unnecessary and preventable in the first place.
Well, it is GPT-3; through dev told me on Discord it's finetuned, prompt is more limited than what's possible (I think), to just generate lots of text one has to spam enter (with an empty prompt)...

Of course, there are underlying utilities that enhance the components. The resulting components are standard web components.

From Stencil's website [1]:

> Stencil is a compiler that generates Web Components (more specifically, Custom Elements) and builds high performance web apps. Stencil combines the best concepts of the most popular frameworks into a simple build-time tool.

> Stencil takes features such as Virtual DOM, async rendering (inspired by React Fiber), reactive data-binding, TypeScript, JSX, and Static Site Generation (SSG) and then generates standards-based Web Components and web apps with these features baked in.

Junior - £16-18k

Mid Web Developer - £30k

Very early startup React/Laravel - £28-30k

Senior/Head of Web Development - £30k

Software Developer - ~£42k

Expected future salary - £50k-£60k (~15 years experience)

Reading HN can give you a very unrealistic view of salaries when you look at the UK outside of London.
> Flexbox is supported back to IE11.

Nope.

An incompatible and broken version of Flexbox is supported in IE11. Therefore, layouts look completely different (and broken) when rendered in it.

Only people who recommend Flexbox in IE11 haven't tried using it in IE11. I might via a library that did the heavy lifting for me, but there's just too many bugs to recommend anyone write Flexbox and expect it to just work -- it won't/doesn't.

PS - I'd link all the IE11 Flexbox bugs but Microsoft took them offline with Microsoft Connect's retirement.

Anecdotally this is happening. Lumber at Home Depot is scarce. I know people leaving Bay Area, Philly, and Richmond. In the case of Richmond, the protests contributed. I get the sense that many of the families leaving were planning to leave eventually in the next few years anyway. In America, it is very common for couples to start in cities, and then move out before child 1 goes to school. This situation is accelerating that process.
It is probably true nobody who currently codes against Twitter APIs wants new APIs. I've rewritten them before and won't be doing it again. Maybe someone new will come along to replace us. Twitter doesn't care unless it makes them more views.

Doesn't matter anyway because they already got rid of the useful APIs, which broke everything anyone I knew had written. Handwriting has been on the wall.

Sort of like boycotting Facebook, it's only takes the step of stopping to set you free.
I was a paid subscriber of Mailspring for a while, but it just completely grinds to a halt with large threads (>50 replies). It’s so unfortunate because the rest of the email client is very pleasant to use.

I’m still searching for a fast email client with great UX, but for now I assume they are mutually exclusive.
it doesn't makes sense because long term the cost of transmission will likely be higher than the cost of production.

You're citing evidence of falling emissions, but that doesn't mean consumption has fallen. It looks like US fossil fuel consumption peaked in 2005, slightly above the mid-70s peak, based on data from the US Energy Information Administration[1]. It's split out into petroleum/coal/natural gas categories, but some hovering and mental math shows 2005 was the peak. The preceding decade was about as high as the mid 70s. There's a significant drop after 2007, but still not below the early 70s level.

US energy is cleaner now, and the percentage of total energy from fossil fuels has been steadily decreasing since 1970 [2], but total consumption of fossil fuels is still high.

Edit: this isn't per-capita; the per-capita numbers would definitely be lower.
