> Can never stand it when a government steps in between two individuals enriching their shared human experience in a way that harms no one else.

The US does this all the time with its horribly restrictive work visa policy.

Some startup wants to hire a passionate engineer from abroad -- and what happens? The US govt says you can't.

Paul Graham wrote about it back in December 2014: http://paulgraham.com/95.html

The US hates immigrants so much that there was at one point an attempt to create a floating ship in international waters near the Bay Area (without being actually in it): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blueseed

And lastly, the craziness of American xenophobia (especially the puzzling intense hatred of skilled immgirants no less) can seen in full blast, right here on HN, any time high-skilled work visas come up -- a lot of people right here on HN just can't wait force every last software developer (even those earning $200k) out of the country for the simple crime of them not being born here. I've conversed with immigrant-haters on HN for a long time[1], like for years. I've never understood why they hate me and other immigrants so much. It's puzzling, tbh. It's very tiring and emotionally tiring (when they effectively repeatedly tell you to "gtfo".) I've given up on engaging with them directly.

[1] One example where a user named ones_and_zeros essentially tells me to gtfo: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11313462 (see the parent of that comment as well). And I was in fact actually even scolded by dang for bringing it up later on: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13599190 dang is right in the sense that it is indeed an extremely emotional topic for me. These people are trying to (quite literally) destroy my life, and want to force me out of what's been my home for 10+ years. But I've learned it's actually best for one's own emotional/mental well-being to not engage with them.

Thank you, it's really great to hear that feedback!

Totally agree that RTK works best if you already know how to write Redux code "by hand", so that you're familiar with the concepts and can see what the abstractions are doing for you.

That said, my goal for that "Essentials" tutorial is that folks who have never used Redux before (like, say, someone in the middle of a typical bootcamp) would hopefully be able to start writing real Redux code using RTK and be productive with it, even if they don't understand everything that's going on under the hood. The feedback we've gotten on this new tutorial, as well as on RTK in general, tell me we've mostly managed to hit that goal.

FWIW, my next task is to rewrite the existing "Basics/Advanced" tutorial sequence. It will still be a "bottom-up" explanation that teaches the underlying mechanics and shows how to do things "by hand", but I want to clean it up considerably to remove outdated references and show simpler patterns.

If you're interested, my notes on how I want to redo it are here:

https://github.com/reduxjs/redux/issues/3855

If you've got any feedback on the contents of the existing tutorial and what you'd like to see improved, please feel free to leave a comment there.

Apologies, I see you clarify in the article.
Why is Rust's println a macro?
It's not only that, but there's always dragons in scaling a framework to accommodate teams of hundreds of devs and supporting millions of users. Svelte is less known in this regard. Marginally better along one or two dimensions is not enough to justify the risk.

>Sometimes I think the simple addition of the word "truthful" to the first amendment could be enough. IANAL, so I don't know how that could be detrimental. As a lay person it makes complete sense:

>"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the truthful press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

And to make it easier for the press the government can establish a Ministry of Truth to determine what is and is not truthful on their behalf.

Haha, yeah when I heard that I thought for a second there was some major new news with Starlink that it would offer gigabit internet, but I'm guessing she meant megabits too.

Still an incredible upgrade for almost anyone outside a metro area (and heck, judging by my 20 mbps upload speeds in a city, an upgrade there too most likely).

The main reason is the post-pandemic period. There are many spheres where old members became insolvent and now you can enter it without the huge capital. Of course, it is necessary to be competent and to work with all modern soft solutions, CRM systems, analytic apps ad so on. You can read here https://www.smartdatacollective.com/deciphering-value-points... about one of the really usable variants that can help you. Good luck with this.
I hadn't thought of that when writing my comment. You're right, thanks.
How does text rendering on images work on different platforms? Do you always get the same result regardless of the platform?

I'm asking because usually Skia produces different aliasing results on different platforms (eg: Windows vs macOS).
Visual Basic 6, Delphi, PowerBuilder, Paradox, Oracle Forms, etc. They had warts, but generally got better after each release.
It's technically possible, but most browsers don't auto-resume, and most webservers will timeout a request after a certain amount of time has elapsed. You can get around all this with browser extensions, but it's honestly easier to use a more robust protocol (this is in the context of, say, a 10TB file that'll take you a few days to download).
This should have been an open-and-shut case, its unbelievable that it took years to re-affirm established norm that employees must be paid for their time, no matter what the firm decides to waste it on. So don't waste it.
Maybe somebody remembers better, but I remember when I looked into it over a decade ago, GNAT had the problem that it didnt have a GNU library linking exception or so. Does anybody remember the history?

Also I still find the whole environment confusing for windows. GNAT Programming Studio IDE seems to be useful, but what ballpark is the pricing for the commercial version. Anybody has an idea?
“It is not worth the bother of killing yourself, since you always kill yourself too late.”

-- E. Cioran

The trouble with "death means salvation", and believe me I know that yearning, is that you don't get to experience this salvation. Suicide is literally not the answer, because you will never get to experience the relief on the other end. This is the essence of Cioran's quote here. It would have been better to not exist, but it's too late for that now and ceasing to exist will not, in fact, afford you any sense of relief. The only relief you feel is in the fantasizing about death itself.

Eventually you will die and after that point it won't matter how long or how painfully you've lived. From the perspective of death life doesn't matter at all, but you won't be alive to experience that perspective.

This. How can you expect these kids to grow up and be productive members of society [0] when you make it all but impossible to get a decent job later!?

I would submit a complain, it would in fact protect that developer FROM the Iranian government since he wouldn't be able to interact with Israeli on github if it's apparently a problem. He can't have it both way at first place, he can't be on github and obviously violate github TOS with anti-Israeli PR merging policies, no matter what the reason is.
This seems totally reasonable.
I'd have to look it up to be sure, but I believe US law only restricts dealings with North Korea that are political or commercial in nature. Merging a PR shouldn't qualify.

More importantly, in the US, there is at least some semblance of fairness in the judiciary. To be clear, I'm not saying "fairness always wins". Not even close. A criminal charge would entitle the defendant to a trial by jury, though, and I find it hard to believe that a jury would convict a teacher for merely collaborating with a student in an academic setting, regardless of the letter of the law.
> Do you honestly think that somebody trained in astronomy could mistake a bird for satellite?

Yes.

Yes.

> They traverse the sky in a perfectly straight and constant-motion fashion that is utterly unlike any bird.

That's exactly like any migrating bird. Like a goose. Well, until they suddenly switch direction and continue at a constant speed and height till they go over the horizon. Have you ever seen birds migrating?

Also, if lights in the sky that look like meteors but suddenly switch direction are aliens, then I've seen them hundreds of times walking home from the pub (no streetlights here). Never yet been offered a lift!
Hey, that's a good thing that you are doing work on a software which can help us in our business work.

The Wisdom in Carroll's Nonsensical Poem, the Walrus and the Carpenter
You asked how the comment that "it is the problem with detailed bio" related to the story. I'm not saying it's bad or not, people are free to share what they want, but had the PR author not done that, the PR would have been merged, that's all.

Not sure what you mean about the name.
This sounds like a bad exit. From what I can tell the original Optimizely space has been slowly becoming a more discrete area of progressive delivery, rather than an industry on its own.

Many players have jumped into this space with their own A/B testing and Feature Flags solutions as part of their total offering, many of those offerings being free, open source or cheaper. Also potentially better in the concrete tasks they enable. I doubt that Optimizely's feature flag offering is superior to something more specialized like LaunchDarkly.

Also there are a couple of strong incumbents' solutions like Google Optimize and Adobe Target and it's always hard to go against incumbents specially when the incumbents are coming after you and not the other way around.

One clear problem for Optimizely in this space is that experience optimization became a function of marketing departments through out the years but for a while they were positioning themselves as a developer tool. This go-to-market strategy opened a lot of opportunities for other players who saw a bigger market when selling the same type of solution to Marketing Departments.

Maybe I'm wrong but it seems that they just stopped growing and have been experiencing a lot of customer churn since this is likely an expensive product with a hard to calculate ROI. They're probably still selling a lot but nowhere near to the original investor expectations / close to becoming profitable.

The answer is that any entrepreneur who focuses on what their competition is doing rather than what they are doing is guaranteed to fail.

There are far more likely ways for SpaceX to fail than that some random professor replaces rockets with a drive using novel physics. And even if said professor does produce that drive, it wouldn't threaten SpaceX's main business unless the drive was able to produce sufficient thrust to escape the Earth's gravity well. (Flash notice, not even the professor in question thinks it will.)

Therefore Musk should continue to be focuses on what he is doing and not even think about this unless there is a working prototype validated by NASA.
Worth noting also is that major crops grown there, like corn and soybeans, are primarily used as animal feed [1][2]. A decent chunk of corn is also used for ethanol additives to gasoline. The best thing we can do for the environment by far is reduce consumption of beef and dairy products.

> That is, a mild form of the condition that straddles the gray area between “personality” and “mild personality disorder,” that diminishes quality of life in a perceptible but not devastating way.

I otherwise agree with your comment, but depression and anxiety aren't personality disorders or personality related at all. Depression is an affective disorder. Anxiety is its own class of disorder.
I'll bite. Who do you suggest we vote for that will stop these practices?
My use of the word "great" here is, of course, debatable.
This reads like something straight out of a William Gibson novel. How much longer can Americans tolerate this ever-worsening shitshow of a system before something gives? What will that look like?
Off the top of my head, Chapter 80 is a good example of the "idealized state." (I do think some things are often lost in translation; many of the freely available translations on the internet tend to read into the Laozi what they "think" it means.) There are a bunch of other references too though. It's also worth remembering that these are composite texts - there was no "single" author so if things occasionally seem self-contradictory, that's pretty natural.
Fully agree, it’s so weird to read in many places that hooks are supposed to make react more “pure” while they are actually a way to make functions non-pure. Pure being defined like you do.
Exactly - obviously the larger the home and more uneven the occupancy, the more the individual units make more sense.

And you don’t have to have one indoor unit per outside unit. Systems that can have one outdoor unit with up to four inside units are readily available.

What’s really wild is Mitsubishi’s City system - designed for commercial spaces (or really large homes) you can have dozens of internal units. And more impressively, it can move heat around inside the building. If you were having a party in the middle of winter and all the body heat was heating up the room where everyone was you could “AC” that room and then dump the heat elsewhere in the building.

The key is the per-room zoning. Minisplits are by far the easiest and most efficient way to micro-zone. Also the elimination of loss from ductwork should not be discounted either; it’s often very significant. Especially if you can eliminate ductwork from unconditioned space!
who shows where the session is coming from which is useful for me where random people connect with the same system account.

The one time that something newsworthy happened in my life, we didn't speak to the press, because we didn't particularly want to. That's not a problem for them though, they literally just printed errors and completely made up quotes from us instead.

I guess I should be thankful. It's a valuable lesson to learn at a young age.

Furthermore, this would open the door to Apple making any time consuming and unreasonable demands. This ia rife for abuse.
Let's be honest, the reason Iran is a pariah state isn't because it's a repressive, tyrannical regime, it's because it doesn't fall in line with the US/UK demands. Saudi Arabia is worse, and their leaders get to hold hands with US presidents while they go for a stroll.

Iran could abolish all elections, create a Saudi-style dictatorship, become even more of a human rights abuser, but if it privatized its oil industry and let in Exxon/BP all would be forgiven.
A decade ago I decided that I should take longevity of team members as a virtue signal on project health. Boy, was I wrong.

As a project maintainer, your facility with the codebase is entirely based on long-term memory (unless you actively fight it). Every new important thing about the code is just one more thing for you to remember, and you quickly can lose sight of how many concepts you need to juggle to reason about the code in a new-to-you scenario.

When that number exceeds short term memory capacity, you start creating an underclass of developers (or worse, teammates).

It’s easier to prevent this than to fix it, and I’m still trying to develop ways to determine if you’ve crossed that line. The best is always to sit and watch people use the code and see where the struggle. Try to make that happen. If you can’t, I feel like a good proxy is this: if there are features that you get hives just thinking about how much code you’d have to change to get it to work? You’re probably close to the line or over it. If you’re the only person who doesn’t get hives? You’ve crossed over it.
That seems perfectly reasonable to me as a line of reasoning, and I'm not casting doubt on whether it could work.

With that said, I also wonder how many of those people had undiagnosed ADHD/if such studies involved screening for ADHD.

Unmanaged ADHD leading to consistent failures in life and other difficulties -> depression/depressive symptoms from the consequences, lack of achievement, etc over the long term, is a pretty common story.

And obviously, the responsiveness of those with ADHD to stimulants is pretty well-known.
This doesn't spot errors for you like a language server can. And you will make errors. Which you see after twenty minutes of buildtime. Much fun. Very productive. Personally I'm back to using ides again but I'm glad something remotely viable has been made available to vim.
On the contrary, lots of people think "Tiger King" is an honest telling.

Spend a little time on /r/conspiracy and consider that most of these people are not joking and their thinking is _entirely_ narrative driven.
Wow. It's really impossible to talk about anywhere else here, isn't it? It all has to come back to America, doesn't it?
Isn't the current President, Donald Trump, an outsider? He calls himself a Republican, but he wasn't involved with that party prior to deciding to run, and he certainly didn't seem to have the support of the party while running.

It's definitely a problem that you have to be in one of the two parties, but it's not impossible to come from outside and nominally join. Sanders is also a good example, coming close in 16 and 20, despite being, essentially, an independent or Democratic Socialist.
Did you have to get your work inspected? Where I live in the United States, the electrical lines would have to be inspected for compliance with building code, and I am not sure about the HVAC lines.
Most rank-and-file development doesn't need async and HOF. If your framework does, it's either screwed up or for a special/rare niche. I've been in these debates many times, and when examples are given I can usually trace the "fault" down to the framework or limits of the language. I stand behind this claim.
Similar premise to the book Extreme Ownership [1], which I highly recommend.

The First Randomized Controlled Trial on Vitamin D and Covid-19
Each country/country group that the to-be-merged company will have presence in can block the merger within its borders (assuming it has anti-trust laws, which most, if not all, will have)

Of course, the larger such a country (group), the more the to-be-merged companies will think pursuing the merger isn’t worth it.
They didn’t do anything to Bernie Sanders; the big-tent party moved rightward after Raegan but it’s progressive wing didn’t break off. His placement in both primaries reflects that.

Disclaimer: I’m not an American, so I might be simplifying or not getting something right.

EDIT: looking at your comment again, I could understand cynicism about the Democratic/Republican political machines, but I don’t necessarily equate that to something like Iran’s Supreme Leader.
"Whataboutism" is not an argument, and neither are vague innuendos.
Very true. I would add that if you believe it's your team then your team is probably talking about leadership with variations of the few lines at the top of the article.
> 2. Countries have rights to impose trade sanctions on whoever they want as long as their intentions is not malicious and not directly toward the individual and citizens in hope to cause revolution and civil war to topple the government (what has been said by Brian Hook, Mike Pompeo, John Bolton and ...) or making Iran the bogeyman to increase the arm industry sales in the region.

seriously dude, says who? This will be all good, but then there is no point to a sanction if its not targeting change in the other country. Jumping to revolution is extreme, but isn't the whole point of a sanction to change another countries behavior?

This has nothing to with empathy, you can't be on Github and discriminate PR submitters because they are Israeli. Pretty sure it violates github TOS.
Yeah but there is no such infrastructure in most of the UK, so it would be a big and expensive undertaking to build it.

Individual gas/electric boilers are a pretty good solution. Maintenance isn't that hard, though legally you need a Gas Safe certified technician to do everything, and they're smug, expensive, slow, and not all that smart tbh. But because there's no competition you have to put up with that :D

That was the most frustrating thing for me - I could do everything myself, but wasn't allowed to.
Comment intégrer une bonne école d'ingénieurs après un DUT?
It's based on the wording of a 1947 law, maybe it's time to change that law. I can see the need for clarity here though. Should employers pay their workers for time spent commuting to a job site/office? Can I live three hours away and make a cool 6 hours of extra wages listening to audio books on my way to/from work?
Iran is absolutely a dictatorship.

The president is nominally democratically elected, but they are subordinate to the Supreme Leader. The Supreme Leader is appointed by and subject to the Assembly of Experts... but half of that body is subject to the whim of the Supreme Leader.

At best, it's "a dictatorship with extra steps".
