The parent-child problem you mention can be addressed with names. Children can say "grid-name: footer". This is just a hint for the parent to decide where to place it in the grid. Then the parent can use grid-template-areas to arrange its children. You no longer need to change the children if you're adding columns to the layout.

(I agree with you on this simple layout)
I've been driving for decades, and I've had many of the problems other comments have mentioned that make life tough, and yet to my knowledge I have never fallen asleep at the wheel or caused any sort of accident. There certainly have been a few times when I was expecting to drive but clearly wasn't fit to and had to make other arrangements.

And, in the gentlest possible way, if you were unable to recognise that you were so tired that you were likely to fall asleep while driving and make another choice, you were demonstrably unfit to drive at that time. It might have been understandable, particularly if you were young and inexperienced, but you still shouldn't have driven at that time and your actions were still irresponsible and dangerous.

Anyway, I think I'm done with this discussion. There are several posters here who are literally arguing that it's OK to drive knowing that they are severely impaired and have a much greater risk than any normal person would of injuring or killing someone. I can't argue rationally against such an irresponsible and selfish position, and my blood pressure has probably gone through the roof reading all of these comments and thinking of all the people who would disagree with them but can't because they're dead.
Depends. Gas pumps actually calculate and bill in mills (1/10th cents).

Half cents coins were minted until 1857. When they were phased out they were worth the equivalent of 58 cents in 2020 dollars.
Increase the copper content of all coinage
> Do you "lie" (maybe by omission; at least going against the current {at the time} scientific consensus) by saying that 'public mask-wearing provides no benefit' [that's to my recollection their advice around February time when I was considering buying masks] in order to maintain supplies for medical personnel? Or, do you say 'masks limit transmission of ARIs' and risk leaving medical need of masks unfulfilled because mass panic has decimated the supplies?

Truth mixed with guilt would've probably been the best path: "Yes, masks might help reduce spread, but doctors and nurses on the front lines are the ones most in need. Please consider donating your spare supplies."
Bottled water sales have significantly increased in the last 10-20 years.

“In 2000, each American was drinking 53.7 gallons of carbonated soda a year, equal to 573 12-ounce cans a year, 11 a week. Soda consumption in 2015 was down to 38.9 gallons per person.”

Then add in the Flints, Newarks, Hoosick Falls, and more that will soon be discovered, where water quality is the issue. Bottled water has become the backup / secondary drinking system to our broken tap water system. We need to fix the problem.

Maybe we could redefine the quarter to be worth 20 cents? You could take 4 quarters to the bank, and get back 5 with "20" stamped on them. Machines that accept quarters just need to tweak the quantity. It'd be nice to have a smaller 50-cent coin also.
> if you think the scale and severity of economic deaths of despair caused by 2008 can be compared with the civil wars

There's more people dying each year due to lack of health care access in the US alone than multiples of the Kosovo War.

https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2009/09/new-study-fin...

Add to that all the drug overdoses in the US for just 2019:

> Drug overdose deaths in the United States rose 4.6% in 2019 to 70,980

https://www.aha.org/news/headline/2020-07-16-cdc-drug-overdo...

That's over 100k deaths per year that's definitely strongly linked to economic despair.
This is good stuff!!!
The limit is that there are exponentially fewer managers as you move up the chain
Article talks about driver facing camera...not external.
It's way better than nothing, and if a time comes to ditch the 5 cent coin that's relatively painless.

The real problem with the Euro coins is how badly they're designed. It's basically impossible to quickly tell the difference between 2 and 5, and 20 and 50. Very similar size, exact same color. If we're ditching 1 and 2, we should also make the 20 cent piece bronze or something.
Love your writing and musings. Long-time listener, first-time caller.

Were this only an era problem. Then it would just be a passing fad, even if "passing" was longer than a human generation. I could handle that.

However, there are in this (and other eras) non-dominant cultures of high-trust where the incidence of rough equivalent types of malfeasance or even the expectations of them occurring are noticeably lower. Many rural cultures, for example. So I was trying to concisely express the era doesn't define everyone in every culture.

Now if I could understand why such non-dominant cultures do not scale and dominate, I think it could be the beginning of a beautiful civilization, to cop a line from Rick.
Actually Amiga OS was fully preemptive. What it did lack was memory protection and any clear distinction between kernel and userspace.
We talked to someone in the consumer ministry to try and get prices for the app.

Government has to balance both sides - the customers trying to get cheap products and the shopkeepers trying to make money. An app that compares prices of everything, will make it difficult for small businesses to compete. It wasn't exactly illegal, but it could be made illegal, and violated the spirit of the Anti-Profiteering Act, especially as the nature of something being an unfair advantage is being determined by ministry that we talked to.

It was also somewhat illegal to display the prices of another place without the consent of that store. Stores didn't exactly like giving out their prices either, because it's meant to be a competitive advantage for some items to be loss leaders and some others are secretly expensive.

Illegal or not, it would have benefited one side and screwed another, and in the long term this would likely not go well.
Because it lets you round prices to 10 cents (drop a digit), rather than 5.
It's not so much a rise and fall rather than refinement.

You still use if/then/else and repetition and subfunctions in OOP. But you restrict and replace some of their previous usage.

Same for functional programming: you take OOP but remove all the sideeffects. You still have objects which encapsulate data which can only be accessed in a certain way and can behave polymorphic. Mind that inheritance was never really part of OOP in general.

Now about DOP - not sure what exactly it adds on top of FP or if it is even an established and well defined term. Doesn't look to me like it, looks more of a bundle of recommendations right now.
Yes I am (:
> And here's where a turn to renewables, solar and others would be helpful because you can afford to turn off the long-range transmission and rely on locally generated power.

Isn’t California actually relying increasingly on buying power from other states⁰ (even all the way from Utah) because of the inherent unreliability of renewables (which caused blackouts recently when they and their fossil fuel backups¹ failed in hot weather)?

Not just silver, many coins changed from being made with high copper to way less a few decades ago when the price of copper rose. Was a stage and still is if you get an old 1p/2p(pre 1992 when they changed) coin that the value of the copper in them, exceeds their face value. Since 1992, they are copper coated steel, which is a common with many coins worldwide today of small denominations.

It's a problem because then 20 years from now they just waste time doing the same thing (how long did it take this generation to remove pennies?)

Why? Do you think this would be the solution if humans lived for 200 years on average?
ch is based on the width of a "0" character, em is based on the font size, which is the height of the character. for setting widths of things that contain text ch makes more sense. For padding, spacing, font sizes, inline symbols, and that kind of thing, em makes more sense.
I know that what you think you're saying is innocuous, but what I'm reading is that you think that racism is excusable because society is broadly racist. Moreover, racist beliefs are excusable on an individual level if they don't lead to harmful racist stereotypes.

However, it's still incorrect to stereotype people based on skin color, even if it's polite stereotyping. To think of people with different skin color as different is missing two points: First, that everybody is different from everybody else, and second, that everybody is human! We shouldn't promulgate or tolerate worldviews which get this wrong, because they're deeply prone to fundamental attribution error: Your aunt may well believe that her dark-skinned neighbor does things a certain way because he is an immigrant!
I set this up a while ago but never turned it on. I have a very simple web site - it's basically my mixology recipe book - and I started adding https://lunrjs.com to it this weekend. I ended up yak-shaving for the bulk of my time, but initial experiments were promising; anyone used it?
Customer signed a document? Great, job one is to get all the data from those filled-in blanks into the database accurately.

Whatever the customer signed is the authoritative contract, not some imaginary entry in a schema intentionally constructed to make it impossible to represent scenarios not envisioned by the developer.
But again - the next generation has to do deal with it ANYWAY.

Why not do what we can today?

It literally costs MORE THAN A PENNY to make a penny. We would save over $70 million a year just by stopping making pennies.
You didn't read the article, it seems that they tried to import csv files into a proper system but rather than importing them directly they converted it to an old format of excel which couldn't support the amount of record.

I guess it was some microsoft based system and the developers were used to extract data from excel rather than just importing a csv text file as it would be in a more unixy environment.
"Tornado Alley" is named for its high relative risk, but in absolute terms it's still low. The sum total of area devastated by tornados in a year is probably lower than one of this year's smaller fires.

And I'm still stacking the deck a bit against the tornados by counting total area. Total inhabited human area would be even more lopsided against the fires.
What if the person you kill is also a human being with a family and problems? Should they get a say in what you think is an acceptable risk?

Or should we just treat everybody we don't know as obviously spoiled people who live in a bubble of privilege, have nothing to lose, have never missed a meal, love no one and have no one who depends on them, and only have an opinion on what you do in order to feel superior to you and to humiliate you?
FDR is on the dime and The March of Dimes likely would have an issue with him being replaced.
Well, "running" for president. Under a slogan of "Don't Vote McAfee", and with neither himself nor many of his campaign staff physically located in the country. (Indeed, it's likely that he would have been arrested upon entry, under the same charges that just got him arrested in Spain.) One gets the sense that he didn't take his "campaign" particularly seriously.
Get a sleep study done! You may be surprised, and even without insurance, the at home sleep studies aren't too pricey (pro tip, you can usually plug in the unit to your computer and dumb a copy of the raw data before you return it to your dr)
Yes, it was a great experience. I too have the impression that investors these days are looking for a more proven track record before buying in, especially for B2C products, but I think some markets are still open to "gambles".

As for real world products: Shutterfly/Snapfish are still looking healthy, and Google Photos is pushing hard their print store, which is where we were eventually heading to. And in the category "real world products that never were" - WhatsApp reached us shortly after the acquisition by FB. They were interested in partnering up with us, until all of a sudden they weren't anymore.

The core idea, as you say, is always there. For us it was the importance of Memory, which will keep on cropping up on many products to come. You just got to be riding the right one. :-)
That assumes there is a review to get through, rather than it being an Excel file with a few hundred macros...

The real reason for parallel tracks is to prevent people from becoming managers. Not to encourage it. The challenge before parallel tracks was common was that every engineer assumed the only way to get ahead was to stop coding and manage people.

The parallel tracks more or less has the same level constraints as you go. Namely, you cannot have 5 L4's on a team with 5 people, and one L4 manager.
For private transactions, you are already free to offer to trade in whatever currency you'd prefer. So is your counter-party, of course. If you both agree on a currency and an amount, you trade. If you don't agree, you don't.

Oh wait, you wished that you could trade in whatever currency you'd prefer without granting that same privilege to your trading partner?
That’s pretty cool. :)

About five years ago I built something similar but with a single focus of building interactive network diagrams.

We would link individual nodes to backed APIs that would get triggered by certain network events and cause the nodes to animate (e.g. traffic flow, ACL rule hit etc). We would bind buttons on the diagram to send requests to external APIs to trigger requests etc. We also had things like packet counters and traffic flow diagrams on the canvas that would show additional detail.

We also repurposed it later to visually build networks of VMs: we would lay out the nodes and networks on the diagram, configure OS, network address settings etc and then hit a button to convert the diagram to an Ansible playbook that would make it all real.

That was a really fun project - I should dig out that code and play with Terraform some time. :)
I did a couple video essays on the book that quote that passage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLAvBiols2Y and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4NZdciDozI.

The passage about the fish comes 45 seconds in to the first video in a NY Times quote from it, then the quote in context from the book at 5:15, though I recommend watching both videos and reading the book whole.
This was an interesting week for sure.

After republicans being unable to detach themselves from white supremacists, I assume that any republican jew, latino, asian or black, feeling a minimum of respect by themselves, wouldn't want to touch the party with a ten-foot pole at this moment.

But many of they would not vote democrats either, so could be a sort of republican exodus in search of a party at this moment.

It seems that the most popular alternative options are the Libertarian Jo Jorgensen or the Green Howie Hawkins.

This is the first time that I see the Libertarian party mentioned in all those months, and it seems that McAfee identifying as libertarian is having consequences for him, -just right now-, and his money was blocked.

That is really interesting if we think about it.

Ironically, the most valuable contribution to Donald Trump to US democracy could be to allow a third party (or more independent actors) to put a foot in the door. Something that clearly would benefit the system, and an once-in-life opportunity.
Another option is to use e-ink Android tablet such as Boyue Likebook, where you can install the native Pocket app.

Fantastic, thank you. Should have known better than to think it wasn't on the way eventually.

Love this comment in the article regarding hiring via a time consuming vetting process.

I think that's what bothers me most about technology hiring these days.

There is more testing and mini-projects than ever.

It's not uncommon to spend half a day just going through first rounds for companies.

I'd love something like: make it to the second round and we will compensate you for your time going through the vetting process.

Then I'd know they value my time and are serious.
Any language with reflections needs to evaluate types as something meaningful at runtime.
This list looks amazing. Anyone know of a similar curation for the quantum domain? I’d imagine the list to be ... smaller. /rimshot
The initial investment (and its associated cost of capital) is quite separate from economic (as opposed to accounting) depreciation: if you could get a valuable asset for free (doesn't matter how) whose market value falls every year thereafter, you have no initial investment and thus no cost of capital. However, you have economic depreciation. On the other hand, if you buy a valuable asset that maintains its value forever, you have a cost of capital, but no economic depreciation. In real life, you have both for most assets.
As an aside: the financing cost of the initial investment is irrelevant. What matters is the opportunity cost: what profit (or return) could you have made by investing the money in a different asset of the same risk instead (which is the cost of capital)?
My point is that it's wasting time and dumping problems on the future. There are stronger measures that can be taken, if the problem really needs to be solved.

"Fuck it, let someone else fix it." - I'm sick of this.
In fairness, no one else' comments are connected to what happened 200 years ago. We're all discussing contemporary Liberia. Some of us are not even discussing Liberia, but Africa in general. And Africa as a whole, is not like Liberia at all, it's extremely diverse and different from itself. Eswatini, Libya, Ethiopia, and Liberia couldn't be more different from each other. They're nothing alike.
Agreed! But I assert that people would still recognize "a murder of crows" as such, even if they don't have a name for it - just like I would expect someone to be able to recognize an equilateral triangle as such, even if they don't know the name for it.
I guess I will remove my lurker hat as I am familiar with this situation. The article leaves out a lot of context.
The Western District of Texas includes Waco, Austin, and other areas. It's worth understanding the history of patent cases in this district to understand what partially motivated Albright to "advertise" his court to patent litigants.

Prior to Albright's appointment, none of the judges in the Western District wanted patent cases. They openly and repeatedly said so. Patent cases were unreasonably slow in the district, and the judges essentially said "we don't like or want these types of cases."

As a former patent litigator, Albright wanted to make clear that the Western District now has a judge who welcomes those cases, as opposed to shunning them. It's also his area of expertise, and attorneys frequently complain that most judges are ill-equipped to conduct patent cases due to the specialization of that area the law.

The notion that Albright is a "patent troll" friend is incorrect. The clients he has represented are all there in public court filings. He has represented big tech (including Facebook). He has represented pharma companies. He has represented small companies. He has been on both the plaintiff and defendant side. I believe that most attorneys do not consider him to be pro "patent troll."

Apple is the primary litigant that wants to transfer out of Texas courts. The judge is only part of the reason. They also really want California juries.
Very disingenuous of you. IE was a trashfire because it refused to do anything in a standard way, meaning it had to be specially catered for.
Safari is slow to follow the standards but at least its compliant. A engine that isn't Chrome is very essential for keeping the web open, especially since Firefox user share keeps going down.
We have similar public information campaigns in the UK as well: take a break at least every two hours and more frequently if you're driving under more draining conditions; if you're starting to feel tired then pull over as soon as possible, have a caffeinated drink and maybe take a short nap; and so on. At certain times of year, the big displays on major roads even display "don't drive tired" and "take a break" reminders.

People with NPD almost never undergo any therapy for it. They literally don't see anything wrong with themselves. Quite the opposite actually, they are forever the victim of everyone else. OTOH the number of victims of narcissistic abuse seeking therapy is endless.
It's barely better than nothing.

If it's really, really a problem, there are much stronger measures that can be taken, whether that be digital solutions or all paper.

I don't see how your paragraph about differentiation is relevant here.
