> Dunkin' Donuts pulled out of California, and is shrinking nationally.

Dunkin' just opened a location in Redwood City, on Woodside Road near El Camino. So they're not pulling out of CA. There are also locations in San Mateo, Fremont, Half Moon Bay, and Concord.

Definitely not as common as Starbucks, but they're growing their presence, not shrinking these days. Source: my wife went to school on the east coast and is a big Dunkin' fan...
Finally a good use of the accelerometer API in web, to ensure you did put your phone down for Obnoxious Ritual. Oh and you forgot the ritual of “accepting all” E.U. cookies.
there's nothing "magnetic" in the word "elettromeccanico" which is quite obviously the composition of "elettro" (electro) and "meccanico" (mechanic) :)
If this were true, the better libraries would have more stars, especially when the age of the libraries are similar.
I suspect it means "head truncated from the camera's viewpoint", as in there is something blocking the top of the driver's face (a brimmed hat, for example) that prevents the camera from figuring out where they're looking.

It would be nice to see an article suggesting how universities with more demand than supply should address this issue. There are a plethora of articles like this that assert "what they are doing is wrong".

I am in the college prep business and I don't see a way forward for admissions officials at selective universities that could not be "exploited" by the affluent to prejudice their children.
I always thought the rise of RansomWare would put a nail in the ol' "RAID as poor-man's backup" coffin, but guess not!
Cities with large protests did not suffer from increased rates of COVID--see New York City, for example. Cities with lower rates of mask usage did experience high rates of COVID infection--see Phoenix, Arizona.

A percentage of HNers will say "Correlation is not causation." But the history of places like NYC and San Francisco that had huge demonstrations against police brutality without increased rates of transmission disproves "the second wave in the US due to mass nationwide protests."
Lots of villages in Teleorman, this part of Constanta county [1] (an area which is really, really beautiful), or, across the Danube, in villages like this one [2], just as the Baragan plain ends. I have a personal side-project where I'm photographing old village mills and posting those photos online [3], and as such I've visited lots of villages in Southern and Southern-Eastern Romania (plus a few in Southern Transylvania).

Congratulations! I remember meeting the Canny founders around when they first launched in March 2017. It's great to see how far they've come. They've built a very well-designed product.
The dubious wisdom of choosing Excel for this aside, how many people working in (1.) computing and (2.) statistics saw a file with exactly 65536 rows, with nary an eyebrow raised? And I mean the first time they saw it, not the second, third or fourth day in a row.
Let's be real here for a moment. Software engineering, in general, is the most thing-oriented profession available. It attracts people who are incredibly thing-oriented. Most lack the want or ability to manage other people. This double track is specifically to give prestige to people who are amazing engineer but also can't look strangers in the eye.
There are many 2D viz tools for IaC that fall short, because a cloud resource can have too many connections to other resources.

That is, too many for 2D, but in 3D the connections wouldn't even cross each other.

Judges should be accountable, like everybody else. Impeachment mechanism should have real strength - it doesn't seem to have it now. Cases of impeaching judges for sufficiently erroneous rulings should be quite possible.

This is an opinion.
Fair game.

I loved this comment for the first two lines. The third line went off the rail in that it transitioned from mapping banking structures to other well known structures to a emotional rant to finally a conspiracy theory. But it has this strange psychedelic quality to it, like a Matt Taibbi article on acid. I could not bring myself to downvote it.

You need discipline to avoid inattentive driving more than advanced technology. You know roughly when you will get tired from driving: plan around that. Technology won't save you from poor judgement.

I do agree, power-naps are amazing to help you regain focus. One time I was driving and it was almost dawn, and I was desperately trying to force myself to reach the next town so I could get a room. I realized I probably wouldn't even make it that far and pulled over at the next rest stop and slept for 30 minutes. I woke up feeling more well-rested than I had any right to be.

When you start having micro-sleep episodes (your attention/memory has inexplicable gaps), or start experiencing sensory hallucinations, it's well past the time for you to rest.

interesting, i was on a conf call 3 hours ago that was an almost identical use case. Excel gets used because word comes to a director at a health department that says "we need to collect testing results from 500 different facilities in a way their, and our, existing systems do not support" and they're given maybe 3 days to get it done along with the rest of their job. Putting together a technical team would take a week minimum let alone requirements gathering and analysis. So what do they do? They fire up Excel, add column headers that represent the data they need, and then send it to a Sr. Manager and tell them to make it happen.
This is such a bad take. If a system can help prevent accidents due to drowsiness, it's a net positive. There are plenty of reasons to be drowsy and still have to show up to work/commute:

Maybe you have a newborn at home, and...
Got a bad sleep.
Or were woken up by a fire alarm.
Or maybe you're just drowsy in the mornings, like me!

I used to have a real easy 35 minute drive to work, on a single, straight road with a few sets of lights.

I probably nodded off a bit while driving at least once a month, if not more. Especially at a set of lights.

I'm not a morning person!
Bad for the startup that builds the wrong product, but good for the consumer.

Why should the consumer have to constantly suffer through a parade of fake ads for fake startups that don’t really know what consumers want and just want to try a bunch of things and see what shit sticks?

I used to buy stuff from Instagram ads, but now it’s littered with companies putting up ads for a bunch of random Chinese crap they can find on Ali Express and seeing what gets the most orders so they can ship it off to customers and then it turns out to be some piece of shit. Because of that I no longer pay attention to products advertised like that. This is the startup equivalent.
you actually wouldn't, as these smaller elements still get centered by the auto margin
Excel can handle the volume of data just fine. The (very outdated) .xls file format with its 65,536 row limit was the problem here.
I got the same flickering in FF 81, OS X 10.15. It only happened when the stars were on-screen.
Is your view based on data available to everyone else? If so, that would be nice to see. Its far easier for you to convince others with data. Why would anyone want to change your view?

I do not understand, why would there be a stack overflow? The "context" is saved (pushed) at the top of the suspended coroutine stack and restored (popped) when the coroutine is resumed (each coroutine has of course its own stack), so with a simple a->b->c->...->a cycle there is no issue.

In fact given swap_context_ex, yielding to the next ready task in the scheduler (and queuing the current task at the end of the queue) is trivial [1]. To simplify the code and the boundary conditions, I maintain the invariant that the ready queue always has at least one coroutine (the 'idle' coroutine). Also note how the queue node is stack allocated directly on the suspended coroutine stack.

[1] https://github.com/gpderetta/libtask/blob/master/task.cpp#L1... ; note that here 'swap_context_ex' is called 'callcc' as is conceptually very similar to scheme call-with-current-continuation.

edit: of course if you are not careful with swap_context_ex and keep pushing new functions to execute on a context without them ever returning to the (recursively) previous context, you can run out of space, but I haven't found a case where this would happen in practice (not that I looked hard enough though).
This is just super unlikely as you describe it. There's no reason for deltas and fancy mechanisms when you can only edit your own messages. It would be a waste of resources to do it like this for short messages.
Unfortunately, if the poster lives in the US, there's a really high chance that laws have prevented suitable non-car transportation from being available.

There's a few places where one can live daily life without cars: a subset of really huge cities, some downtown areas of mid size cities. But usually we highly restrict housing from existing in such places, and we strict zoning prevents mixing of residential and commercial in areas that did not have it before these restrictions became prevalent in the last century.
Linus is as aspy of a nerd as it gets, and he did fine. You don’t need the thing you think you need.
And a band saw will happily cut off your hand if you push it into the moving blade. That's why the best practices of operating one suggest that you never keep your hands anywhere near the cutting edge.

Excel's idiosyncrasies are very much on the level of the typical productive computing tool. They are less maddening than half the featureset of C++, three quarters of the featureset of Javascript, and 110% of the featureset of bash.

Despite that, people manage to get work done using bandsaws, C++, Javascript, and the occasional shell script.
1. Did he really go on a "tour to convince companies to bring patent cases in his court"? The only support is this link[0], which really doesn't say much.

2. It's not like he has some corrupt motive to encourage patent cases to be brought in his court (he doesn't get paid per case or anything). Patent plaintiffs just prefer a judge who has expertise in patent cases. So what?

This is good advice. I recently tried to rewrite my resume in HTML and CSS because I was annoyed with LibreOffice's (though Word would be no different) table handling/UX - wherein my table ended right before the bottom page margin so I ended up with an unnecessary trailing blank page.

After switching to CSS grids, I had problems with alternating row background colors (I achieved it, but relied on knowing the contents when what I really wanted was a generic solution). Apart from that (and me wanting to group some elements together to make the markup a bit more semantic and `display: contents` having some weird interactions), it was quite a breeze. But, then I tried to print it to PDF, and discovered that browsers won't split a grid row over two pages even if I tell it to, so ended up with more whitespace in other places... Am now trying to decide whether to just use table markup as one cannot specify colspans etc in CSS with `display: table-cell`...
> But you can also fix it immediately when something breaks.

Assuming that a random company will pay to have engineering/ops staff on-call 24x7 who all have enough knowledge about their internal chat system.
it also doesn't help that sometimes you have to whack-a-mole different browser implementations of the spec, and particularly if you're working on a bit of a website somebody else owns you have to be very careful about specificity, what styles other teams may be using, etc.
I miss calling it BIOS. It was easier to say, was an acronym that made sense, and lined up with the Greek word bios which means life. Very fitting. Too bad we couldn't just call it BIOS v2 or something

The idea is that people are choosing how to live, and make common rules using government bodies.

Elected judges fit this idea. Why it's a bad idea?

Every day is one of:
- video connects but no voice
- voice connects but no video
- calls unanswerable
- screen sharing grinds my laptop to a standstill
- messages don’t send but don’t tell me for like 5 minutes
- messages don’t come in and then a barrage all at once

The screen sharing one is so bad I have to send zoom links out if I think I’m going to screen share in a call
Ever known someone that works two jobs trying to make ends meet? You don't have a choice except to drive home from work.

And will it be easier to make those ends meet when you are dead, or paralysed, or locked up because you left someone else dead or paralysed?

The arguments that a few people are making here, as if not driving while so tired you might fall asleep would cause some devastating loss to society and herald the end of life as we know it, are just silly. Only a very small number of drivers would be affected, because fortunately most people aren't so irresponsible in the first place. And given the extremely high likelihood of those few drivers getting themselves and, worse, possibly many other people injured or dead, with all the negative consequences that will imply, it still doesn't make sense from a greater good perspective.

Although to be fair, the behavior as described by the article is a blatant ethical violation, and the circuit governance bodies do have some capacity to sanction judges who violate the requirement of impartiality as blatantly as this.

The last sentence is a pithy summary of the state of the banking industry.

Having worked with the banking industry for over two decades, the banking industry is capable of a lot. They have infinite capital and they hire some of the best people on the planet.

Fundamentally Banking is risk-averse conservative culture. Their primary focus is "good enough for most people" then don't break it. Absent government regulations from a major catastrophe or an existential competitive threat, they will not change.

What's in it for him?

It seems obvious that this guy is corrupt, but exactly how? Presumably the federal government doesnt pay per case. Does he have an interest in a local law firm? Does he get kickbacks in cash? Or is he planning on returning to practicing law in a few years through the revolving door and this will raise his profile?

I guess we shouldn't rule out the possibility that he just feels passionately about patent law and shaping the American legal landscape to his own opinions. The late Justice Ginsberg was widely praised for the same. But somehow it's harder to believe in this field.

I think you're overstating both the paper's impact, and the significance of the error.

Most such papers are used to support existing policy preferences, not drive them. In addition, the error didn't reverse or erase the correlation, it diminished it, and removed the inflection point from the curve.

Accountable to the law? Absolutely. That sort of removal could be done by a judicial council or some other construct of internal professionals - just as a lawyer can become disbarred. "Tough on Crime" is anathema to actual justice.
You've never had a bad night's sleep? Never had to make a longish unexpected trip because of a family emergency? Never had to work 2 jobs to make ends meet?

In this case, if the person isn't able to get disability b/c of their condition, I can't fault them for doing what they need to survive. I don't like that it puts others at risk, and hope they are taking steps to reduce the risk. Detection technology that alerts them seems like a step in the right direction.
Regardless, I doubt any business wants to get in a position where their existence depends on a judge evaluating the license with their chat software.

Most of my (large, 25+) extended family has done so.

And we've used it too. Fortunately for me, Zoom invites also provide a local call in number and I use that -- not from my smartphone, but from a bog standard cordless phone connected to an ATA[0] situated outside my firewall -- to join Zoom meetings.

No, my family doesn't get to see my shining face, but they already know what it looks like.

If you're for some reason drunk and one of these reasons to drive comes up, does the logic still apply? I'd say not. So why would it apply to being tired?
In aggregate, consumers benefit from lower cost to bring products to market, which this is trying to do.

Personally, you may know a friend or family member who wasted a lot of time on a bad idea or possibly hurt themselves financially. Many people, like me, do. It hurts to see. So consumers benefit if their loved ones who are entrepreneurs can avoid making some bad business decisions by getting information earlier.
It is not the job of any executive branch organization to proactively need this data, nor even to have the gall to submit such a request. The argument of serving as alibis is so laughable; like, how ever did governments survive this long without smart speakers listening in to citizens in the Roman Empire, or in 18th century France, or to America’s rebellious, tax-evading Founding Fathers. Guess the authorities of those people’s times should have stopped the “rebels”? It seems producing smart speaker alibis is really the only way any future government could survive given our IG/TikTok addicted population is so smart? Not to mention that governments are fundamentally just ideas of people coming to temporarily to work together, that come and go.

Combined cycle gas turbine generators use a steam turbine as a second, downstream method to recover exergy from the exhaust of the main gas turbine.

To me it's kind of bizarre that money is so cheap at present, but somehow it's still too costly to use it to invest in things with a delayed payback.

Actually I have to state what I believe: the only way to keep your corrupt money safe is to work with international institutes, bankers and layers in so called cities with transparency, such as London, Hong Kong, New York, Switzerland and so on. It is called money laundering. Keeping it in Dubai makes no sense. People may spend money in Dubai, but not keeping their wealth in Dubai.
