What an absurd and dangerous notion.

It's bad enough to imply that someone dealing with the physical and emotional debilitations caused by both the disease and the treatment, not to mention secondary concerns like the effect on employment and finances, essentially isn't trying hard enough. But suggesting pseudoscience that could very well make things worse is deplorable.

I'm truly glad it worked out for you, but as someone who has had cancer this is an absolutely awful position to take.

> But at the ballot box they can hurt the rest of the country and the rest of the world.

They can and they do.

In the first instance, this is why candidates are not allowed to literally bribe the electorate, and why constitutional change is harder than simply passing a new law.

In the second, it is why countries even bother trying to interfere in other countries’ elections.

Democracy is still better than the alternatives despite the failures. Oh so many failures.

>> Perl never had anything like that. It allowed to do CGI in the early 1990s then it didn't keep up.

Not quite. Perl actually has several widely-used web frameworks such as:

Mason - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mason_(Perl)

Dancer - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dancer_(software)

Catalyst - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalyst_(software)

Mojolicious - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mojolicious

Many of these were/are widely-used and most are still maintained and in use.

Mason powered the Amazon.com retail web site (maybe it still does?).

Catalyst powered DuckDuckGo's Community Platform, the BBC iPlayer, and YouPorn.
I've been doing tech in Poland since ~2002 and it's not true.

We had a counterpart for I think every single US-based service, but most sites didn't survive the competition. Right now only eBay failed to enter our market (they tried, but the local Allegro won out).

Personally, I'm not the fan of the local copycats - because of their local scale they couldn't really get enough profit/investment to grow the tech just as much. But still - at least in Poland, it's not true that there were no substitutes.
Different advice for different circumstances. Do you get upset when elite athletes talk about the importance of avoiding overtraining, when they have already become elite?

I appreciate original version of HN more. As compared to other content platforms, I come to HN to actually read and just not to scroll. From that pov, I like text better than other elements visible to me. More than that, the current design took too much space, showing 1 post per scroll.

One suggestion for your website is to accommodate heading on left half of the screen (desktop view) coz usually most of the people have a mental model of trying to find heading first and reading from L2R.
Ok stop lying
100% this. When I was interviewing I almost never got the cover letters from HR. When I did glance over them every time it was obviously a form cover letter that they spent 15-30 minutes customizing for our company.

If you have something incredibly unique to tell the company like "I want to work for this pharmaceutical company because your newest chemotherapy drug saved my wife's life" I'd sneak it into the resume.

Proving to the interviewer that you can write three sentences of generic fluff based on a cursory glance of my company's website doesn't tell me anything about your abilities, just how much you value your time.
On iOS (iOS 14 beta 3) this page is largely blank, with merely a title and menu. No content, no google sheets, no popups (thank goodness).
I've noticed this as well. I stopped doing any engagement on Facebook and switched to Instagram (you don't need to tell me about who owns Instagram, I already know) a years ago and really loved it. I do mostly post to Stories because I had been using Snapchat as well and Stories filled the Snapchat void but for a bigger audience (my Snapchats were never private or R Rated, just the normal stuff people post to Instagram stories), and because I perpetually feel like my stuff isn't good enough/important enough to post to main Instagram. I feel like people can click and watch my stories if they want, and I don't spam their feeds with regular Instagram photos.

Back to the current state of Instagram. People are nonstop posting stories that are just Twitter screenshots, or walls of text, or both. You can click through 20 of someone's stories and it's all just text.

I was never under any illusion that people posting perfect lives using certain brands on Instagram were legitimate and so that's not new or disillusioning. I largely ignore that and even de-rate brands I see on Instagram stories/photos mentally. Other people on these comments posted about this, but largely that's just rose tinted glasses, "viral" or sponsored advertisements in photos to make it not look like it's an advertisement has been happening since insta-time immemorial.

But, all the text I'm seeing, that's a major change and it's very annoying.
It was a huge story yesterday that Trump has said he’s going to ban it.

And while it’s not clear exactly how they’d ban it, it certainly isn’t impossible. They could tell major telcos to block IP ranges. Or tell Apple and Google to pull the app. Everyone involved could just say no to the government but it’s not all that clear that they would.
In both graphics and compute ?

Its ok for nvidia to release an architecture that does compute very well, but barely improves graphics, and vice-versa.

But I don't recall any compute generation where there was a better product from the competition.
I vaguely recall this story as well, all I've been able to find so far is an excerpt in International Business that doesn't go too far into detail.
>back when I started learning Java, C# was said to be the slower of the two.

Which year was that? Java apps and the JVM in my opinion and experience are very bloated and have a lot of memory consumption and leaks, which cause frequent and annoying GC slowdowns. I shudder to run large Java apps on company servers like the Atlassian stack(Jira, Confluence etc.) and Tableau Server.
> Worse, since you own every stock (not really, but close enough), you now have the 500 companies representing about $27 trillion of market cap, and then thousands more representing only another $8-9 trillion. So any change in the smaller companies is dwarfed by one good (or bad) day of AAPL, AMZN, GOOG, etc (as happened yesterday).

> So if you want the whole stock market, buy it in multiple pieces - a large cap, a small cap, and a mid-cap fund.

But this only makes sense because you think holding companies based on market sector (equally weighting each sector) makes more sense than just basing it on the size of the company. What evidence do you have that this is a better approach?

As I said, I don't view them as morally equivalent, just not as far apart as I'd like them to be and people who experienced i.e. [1] probably view the U.S. as much worse, if you take the Korean War, Vietnam, Latin America, The Middle East, that's millions of civilians killed within living memory.

2003 Iraq alone is ~200,000, (up to 1mil per some), and that's discounting the first Gulf War or the sanctions following it that killed overwhelmingly civilians.

The difference between you and me is that I don't see killing foreign civilians as somehow less horrible than domestic ones.

When you say it's different during the "course of a war", worth noting that in many places no formal war was ever declared. In places like Pakistan, the drone warfare for example is more of a shadow war than anything.

As for people dying due to lack of healthcare and you not counting it, if we're going to attribute the evils of CCP to "communism", why discount deaths attributable to "capitalism" so easily?

My ideology disagrees strongly with the CCP, but I try to be as objective as possible when evaluating any actor, especially one that is subject to wast amounts of U.S. propaganda and is hard to ever get a more nuanced picture of.

Another issue is that the U.S. likes to present itself as a moral leader on the world stage, so it should be held to higher standards.

I am not even going into the issue of financial sanctions, where China has nowhere the amount of power the U.S. has. And the American government is willing to use that power to block shipments of food and medicine to countries it does not like, even during an unprecedented global pandemic.

I appreciate this is not discussed regularly on evening news, unlike China is, but it is very much real, this is why when you poll people from around the world, the U.S. usually comes #1 as a threat to world peace[2].

P.S. I don't say this to try and paint the West negatively. I say this because I want us to actually be as morally correct as we'd claim we are instead of just diluting ourselves into thinking we are soo much better already.

In other words, I'd really like the propaganda to actually match the reality.
True, but that doesn't seem like a good excuse for a dumb grep-ish solution on all fields.

If you think of {Gimp, Inkscape} as a toolset, your problem is gone. Especially if when you clic "edit" on your linked shape Inkscape opens automatically: then the frontier between the two is as thin as the frontier between Grep and Sed when you use them together through Bash.

Drawing geometric shapes is inherently vectorial. Not Gimp's purpose.
Stock indexes over the long term are a function of Corporate profits of the large companies and the inflationary nature of the economy, especially over the last 30 years, the willingness of the Federal reserve to print money (create debt). Without restraint nowadays.

For instance, in 2020, the massive stimulus by the Fed almost certainly will create a rising stock market. It deviates of course in the short term 6-18 months, few years etc.. In short, if you go that route, buy on the 1-2 year dips.

Invest would certainly be the way to go, although if you have a certain talent.. For instance, house flipping or starting a business. You can get better than the 5% or whatever you get after inflation in stocks. If you're really good at what you do, your odds of getting a better return go up.
"They have enough cash for operations and investments"

I dont think they do; I dont think they have enough to finance producing 10 million cars a year with the money they have on hand + selling their current cars. Eventually they will have to either tap the debt markets or issue more stock.

maybe their price will be significantly higher later, maybe it wont be - thats up for them to decide. But it makes sense people are suggesting it

Another viewpoint is the US is doing to its citizens what China has been doing to its citizens since forever.

Yeah, I really have to agree with this. Working with designers and PMs in my day job makes it clear that there's an experience put together on Instagram and it's not some Flickr alternative. Things are made to be fixed res and laid out as so by design.
Ah sorry, I'd meant to reply to the same comment you did, making the same point really.
I heard people say this about Facebook for years, that it was just the next Myspace and it would be gone in a year. Platforms are temporary until they're not.
What stack were you using?

The only time I've personally seen render times that high is with large, complex databases in bad need of indexes and/or restructuring, and with hybrid cloud stuff, where cloud services are using an on-prem API or database.

Depends I guess. I dont think the MacBook and iPad Pro are aiming at the same group of customers.

iPad Pro are aiming at Professionals, from CAD, 3D, PhotoEditing with Apple Pencil, Those will care about the screen. And they knew and understand why it is more expensive to make low latency input. At 9ms it is already one of the best in the industry, and I would not be surprised it they continue to work on lowering it.

Macbook ( The non Pros ) are aiming at casual computing users, in terms of customer group they are more likely to be overlap with iPad and iPad Air. But then both iPad and iPad Air are more towards a consumption devices more than productivity. If they are students, Keyboard and Mouse is still a much better experience for wiring up your homework. Of course you can get a keyboard for iPad as well.

Yes, though being an enterprise friendly language there's a bit of a lead time in most of the places using it, but NET core on Linux is increasing adoption.

Just this week I built and deployed a new C#. NET core API running on a Microsoft provided Ubuntu docker image and it's now ticking along nicely in production.

I still develop on Windows because Visual Studio is for my money the best development environment available but I almost never write new code to run on Windows, with core at publish time its as simple as a command line flag to target Linux. If you don't want to use Windows for development then other OSes are just as viable for developing on, I developed my personal blog on Linux.

It's a shame that people (perhaps understandably) have this image of C# as a legacy environment when it's a language and environment that is constantly innovating and has been sitting around the top of some server benchmarks for quite a while.
If it's a toss-up between two candidates, and one is a 20-something white male and the other is a 50-something black female, are you not permitted to hire the black female for the reason that it will make your team more diverse?

I’m not demonizing anyone. But the inequality that affects every day people directly—rising housing prices in formerly middle class suburbs, competition for good school districts, rising prices in restaurants, etc., is driven by the large growth in upper middle class salaries. (My parents wouldn’t have been able to afford the 1,100 square foot 3BR 1950s house I grew up in at today’s prices. The neighborhood isn’t full of parked Saudi money. It’s the explosion in upper middle class incomes.)

Housing prices in full Silicon Valley suburbs aren’t exploding because of a handful of billionaires, it’s because of a vastly larger number of engineers making $500k.

I think that was the point at which I stopped watching as it was utterly shocking how much of a disconnect there is there.

Thank you for sharing the Robin Williams clip, I had not seen that before and found it hilarious and perfectly fitting.
Making a recording is work.

Saying "maybe they can work for a living" is saying that people don't think that has value, in which case it's weird that anyone uses Spotify at all.

"Playing the song one time" is minimizing the work/time that goes into learning to play instruments, writing a song, coordinating the musicians for recording, and working on the production.

And it's a lot like saying software developers shouldn't be able to write a piece of code one time but get paid for people buying a copy or using a service running it on a server somewhere.
Doesn't the "common initial sequence" rule imply that structs with the same members must be the same, even within a translation unit? If they didn't, wouldn't putting them both in a union and accessing through the other one not work, even though the standard requires it to work?

The FBI has opened an investigation into Breonna Taylor's murder. The Redskins are changing their name. Many police departments are cutting budgets and in some cases replacing those police officers with social workers.

That never would have happened without the awareness brought to those and similar issues by social media. You can dismiss it as "SJW" echo chambers, but it appears to be working, perhaps to your chagrin.
Or that its excellence in treating cancers is biased towards certain populations. I dare say cancer treatment in people 65+ is bound to be better. And higher life expectancy in general seem to point to that. The cancers of the elderly are slower growing, in many demographic scenarios those people have more money & voice to get better treatment, and because they're old and often have comorbidities the doctor is more likely to diagnose them.

Contrast this with young mothers who are breastfeeding or have just finished breast feeding and go to their doctor complaining of discomfort or oddities in their breasts only to have it 'diagnosed' as a blocked duct when it's actually cancer. Or a young man complaining of neck or back pain that ends up being a cancer but doctors have been trained to effectively screen out back pain as a common complaint. Or chronic fatigue, etc. etc. They look young, fit... they're probably just anxious.

After watching friends or family die this way, with cancers undiagnosed until they proceeded to stage 4 despite multiple queries to their doctors, it's absolutely terrifying. You start to question every ailment you have.

So you really wonder how much the fact that baby boomers are still the dominant demographic group is altering the numbers. We might just be good at treating cancers in the elderly and that has shifted survival statistics.
Don’t take financial/tax advice from random internet people.

Property taxes are likely to go up as municipalities struggle with budget issues due to a short and medium-term economic problem of reduced income in retail and other industries.

A huge number of people are thrown out of work and many of those people are renters, and renters pay rent to owners of property, and those property owners rely on the income to pay their mortgages.

They capped property tax and local tax deductions federally, they capped the mortgage interest deduction and can potentially go further in that regard.

I'm playing contrarian not because I think property shouldn't be owned or invested in (I did it as owner-occupier and landlord), or because I disagree with the statement about printing cash having to go somewhere, but rather because your comment is one-sided and sales-y.
> So any change in the smaller companies is dwarfed by one good (or bad) day of AAPL, AMZN, GOOG, etc (as happened yesterday).

This doesn't seem that bad to me?

Imagine that you own FOO and BAR. They're each 1% of your holdings and each 1% of the US stock market. Now they merge. How much of your holdings should be the new company FOOBAR? Seems to me like it should be 2% now that FOOBAR is ~2% of the market.

AAPL, AMZN, GOOG, etc each represent a large number of products and businesses, and I don't see why you'd want to decrease your exposure just because they trade under a single stock symbol.
