Because grocery stores (and specialized stores such as butchers or farmers markets etc.) are more accessible, people in cities often buy only a few meals of ingredients at a time. It's easy to stop by a store and pick up some some amount of fresh whatever as you go about your day.
Seconding!
Yeah I think it’s time to begin limiting federal power. I feel like a coalition of Democrats and Republicans could come together on this.

Everyone being so occupied with national law is driving us crazy. Time to give more power to states and use a weakened federal government for some general oversight, monetary policy, and foreign affairs.

Decriminalized marijuana has been a good experiment in allowing states to make their own choice based on the cultural and financial needs that are unique to each state.
I'm not really sure who this is for. It seems quite complex and opaque, for anyone who is well versed in AWS infrastructure I think you'll spend more time untangling this tool and trying to extend it beyond the exact use cases the author thought of than it would take you to set an app up yourself using your preferred config management toolchain.

For anyone not very familiar with AWS infrastructure, this is a very direct path to being in way over your head with a bunch of infrastructure you have no idea how to manage once it's set up. You'd surely be better off using a more managed setup like Heroku, or taking the time to read some AWS tutorials and set up only the things that you need, making sure you understand the different pieces along the way.

It makes me think of the Standards XKCD [0], I'm sure this project started out with good intentions thinking that "working with AWS SDKs is too complex, we'll make a few simplified make command to rule them all" but all they've managed to do is make yet another, extremely limited, but still opaque and complex tool.

Was it Garbriele Gast?

> After agreeing to help, Gast very soon found herself sent on an intensive spycraft course, including hands-on training with the latest in covert communications equipment. She was given a Stasi code name, "Gisela", which came with a false passport and a new handbag, incorporating a well concealed secret compartment. Back home in Aachen, every Tuesday evening at the same time she tuned into a shortwave radio station from East Germany and carefully wrote down a long line of numbers, read out in a monotone, without further elaboration, by a "radio presenter". When she decrypted the messages from Schmidt she found some were instructions while others were simply encouraging love messages.
I could've sworn I remember reading that Hoverboard pioneer Franky Zapata was only allowed to test over bodies of water when practising in his native France, but I'll be damned if I can conjur the right keywords to googlefu a specific answer, so now I'm [as often] wondering whether I just made it up...

I'd say it's a mix of increased savings due to near-term economic/political uncertainty, and the fact that large-scale events (conferences, sporting events) that typically bring activity are also cancelled.

While e-commerce data does show that people are indeed spending and there are some pockets of increased spending, it doesn't seem like it nearly matches pre-COVID levels. I think people do want to spend their savings, but because of public health fears there's not much to spend it on.
> I'm kind of OK with companies having values and being able promote those values.

As long as those values don't conflict with things like freedom of speech, I agree. But the second they do, there needs to be repercussions.

For example.

I as a consumer want to use Amazon because I've never had a bad experience with them. But I really really really don't want to be complicit in forced child labor because somewhere in their supply line is a company using it.

Think of it like the Overton window. Everything inside the window is fair game, but the second you step outside of that window you pretty much get destroyed or very nearly. Basically put the fear of god in them the same way the IRS puts the fear of god in citizens for not paying taxes.

I'm ok with you valuing your religion or women's rights. I'm not ok with you banning accounts of activists who are critical of the chinese government (zoom).

Typically you wouldn’t bother with a HEAD request, you’d do a conditional GET request.

When you request a page, the response includes metadata, usually including a Last-Modified timestamp and often including an ETag (entity tag). Then when you make subsequent requests, you can include these in If-Modified-Since and If-None-Match request headers.

If the resource hasn’t changed, then the server responds with 304 Not Modified instead of sending the resource all over again. If the resource has changed, then the server sends it straight away.

Doing it this way means that in the case where the resource has changed, you make one request instead of two, and it also avoids a race condition where the resource changes between the HEAD and the GET requests.
I patched FreeCol multiplayer in 2014. I was not a Java developer. But it was instrumental to how easy it was to fix this tricky bug in an hour.

On the contrary many open source games use Java (or CSharp) and it helps them be moddable, discoverable and testable in ways that JavaScript would not give you for free. Additionally, the web ecosystem is built around a marketplace of external services and opaque, bundled offerings, which makes people not paying those bills (ie modders, open source contributors) second class citizens in the development process.
Applying that scenario to Kabbalah, you may have just come up with an explanation for the canonical status of the Song of Songs.
You're just continuing the horrid comparison of somehow equating people exercising free speech with heinous crimes. Stop it. It's not a good look nor a valid argument.

> You may still be using developer resources like documentation.

That's not any different. If I write a POSIX-compliant program then it should run on macOS without having used any of Apple's documentation. And if they charged for documentation (which is dumb) it would create a market for third party macOS documentation that I could use instead.

> But yeah, a flat fee for a wide variety of services risks edge cases where someone using only minimal resources gets a poor deal. Of course, an alternative is a nickel-and-diming pay-as-you-go micro-transaction scheme, which your main users will hate.

Offering a flat fee for everything is not inconsistent with offering individual things a la carte. They could offer both. But the bigger point is that it should be possible to produce and distribute software without having any business relationship with Apple whatsoever. I don't want to use anything they make, I just want to have access to my customers who use macOS.

> Also, strictly speaking, you don't have to pay them. Vote with your dollars and platform support as a developer. If enough people do, Apple may reevaluate

That doesn't work at this level of power imbalance. Your software would have to be important enough to get your customers to switch to a different platform, and not have any viable competitors who remain on macOS even if it means higher profits due to the reduced competition. In other words, you would have to be a monopoly yourself in order to have any leverage.
More Hot Data Tools and What They Don’t Do
Something can be propaganda but still remain factual. Agree that framing and bias can still be present but you can't just dismiss it as false without overwhelming proof otherwise you're just making a bad faith argument.
That's a very odd reply. Software are always targeting a platform. Tshirts aren't targeting a specific store.
"Ok, let's keep the chatter down".

I've always loved Kranz'(?) comment even more than the moment of first contact itself. As if to say "Stop cashing out on one historic achievement and work with us to make many more".
Many of these questions are not well posed. For instance, the question, "What’s the average lifespan of the most common species of wild animals?", has a fairly simple answer. Most animals are insects, and most insect larva get eaten. Ergo, the average lifespan is probably measured in hours.

If the question is restricted to only mammals, then you still have fairly big ranges. Small animals may live only long enough to breed, while some larger animals (such as humans) may live for decades.

There are other questions about cultural longevity, well-being as well as broad and specific questions about risk factors. Communicating the desires behind these questions might be more helpful than the questions themselves.

> This software is free for personal use, and for commercial use by companies with an annual revenue less than $1B.

I've been advocating for something similar:

> This software is free for any entity that does not contain material stakeholders (bond holders, debt holders, etc) that are billionaires. A yearly licence fee of $1m waives this requirement.

Something like that. I'm sick of wealth centralization. If a startup wants to use the software, great! Once Peter Thiel invests though it's $1m a year. My core beef with billionaires is that they do not pay their fair share in taxes. The push all their money into shell companies or park it overseas and we end up with doctors that actually save peoples lives paying double or triple the tax rate that the ultra wealthy pay.
actions speak louder than words here.
You seem to misunderstand the conversation; the OP was not looking for advice about their canceled app. They were relaying their experiences with Apple's bizarre policies. To switch topics from Apple to target the OP specifically is incredibly rude, and shows a significant lack of situational awareness.

I am glad that your journey to raise your EQ seemed to make you feel calmer and more patient, but please take some time to understand why using this discussion to proselytize wouldn't go over well.
It's Google AdSense with Auto ads (In-page ads, Matched content, Anchor, Ad load: max). I reduced the Ad load to min just now.

I've spent the last few years developing a declarative GUI programming language called "IVD" (https://github.com/IrisChase/IVD) on my own. Initially developed for an earlier project, which was to be an MVP for a startup.

A project that spun out of IVD's development called "Reprodyne", is a system for recording manual testing sessions for automatic regression testing (https://github.com/IrisChase/Reprodyne). The system is basically alpha, but it has already made the development of IVD much much smoother/faster.

The front road (Mt. Hamilton Road / Hwy 130, starting at Alum Rock) is very winding because the grade was limited to allow horse & cargo carriage to summit the peak. Limiting the grade means extra turns. The back side roads, down to Livermore or Patterson, as well as the faster front cutoff (Quimby Rd) were built for vehicles and are much steeper and a little straighter.

That’s literally a different argument. You’ve moved from “they’re intending to cause harm to people like me” to “I believe this tactic alienates people like me”.

As I’ve said repeatedly, the latter is an argument about the efficacy of this type of protest. You’re free to believe that, I don’t care. But understand that “it doesn’t work” is a completely unrelated argument from “its intended to do X”.

Ask HN: How to Educate Gifted Child?
I know there are some smart folks in here, and intelligence is highly heritable so I'm sure some of you have exceptionally intelligent children. My son just started 1st grade, and (as we have suspected for a while) he meets the criteria for "gifted": RIAS-2 composite standard score 135, NNAT standard score 133, both 99th percentile.

I have some personal experience here as well; I also scored in the 99th percentile on pretty much every standardized test I was offered. My parents did an admirable job of ensuring I was placed in the most accelerated academic programs available in my public school district, but even in that environment I was frequently bored and depressed.

I'm not concerned about "achievement" and "potential" because I know from personal experience how pernicious those expectations can be. I just want my son to enjoy his educational experience and emerge into adulthood with a firm understanding of his strengths and weaknesses, and confidence in his initial career direction whatever that may be. I did not get that from public education, even the accelerated track, and I suspect that my son would not either.

Of course I am doing a lot of my own research, but it helps to hear personal experiences of what worked well in specific situations to guide that research. Parents of gifted children of HN, how do you help your child get an appropriate education? I'm open to all options.

I feel the same way about rust’s standard lib, which is pretty sparse compared to, say, python and go. Finding libraries for common tasks is the most stressful part of an otherwise stress-free language (first world problems, I know). I get that it’s a trade off, and I get why the designers chose this path, but I would have preferred it the other way.
Agree with this, it's pretty awesome tweak.

The open movie projects are a large reason for Blenders success. It moved the focus from "Deliver developers pet feature" to "What do we need if we want to produce this kind of a film short."

It put the focus on Blender as a tool for delivering actual film instead of various disconnected features. Roadmap focus is one the harder things for a creative OSS tool to get right.
These would be "field of use" restrictions. Licenses with these kinds of restrictions are normally not considered open source (see items 5 and 6 of both the DFSG and the OSD).

It's genetic - we're not designed to think rationally about tribal issues.

We're designed to follow people who look like strong leaders - even if they aren't - and to believe simple us/them narratives. Add some shock value for stickiness - like QAnon with its paedophile shtick - and it's a home run for the liars.

We don't have anything resembling a working science of politics and culture, which is why both seem to break so consistently.

No matter what the ideals are supposed to be, cultures are not dynamically stable. As soon as you introduce stressors of any kind - internal or external - humans revert to running on instinct, dark triad types note the weaknesses and start taking advantage of them, and the illusion of stability falls apart.
