> (1) Maybe Elements of a Clojure? Not sure that’s it; it was a book referenced on HN which has a whole chapter on naming things.

That's correct.
Nice!

I loved using Konqueror back when I used Kubuntu. It has a lot of great features that I wish were more commonly available.
I disagree, dompurify takes a blacklist approach of trying to remove evil instead of only allowing through application-specific sane things (that it uses whitelists is a separate thing)
I was thinking 2 things could be better done with react: reactivity and server load due to more client requests to manage. Not sure what else. Server load is pretty high on Tableau too so not sure that’s a real problem.
Woah this is actually very nice, very nice indeed.

I'm currently building my own HTML5 parser for my browser stealth [1] and I aim to be spec-compliant with it, and this might come in very handy for testing against.

What I kind of miss with SGML as a feature is something similar to XSLT stylesheets that can transform chunks of a website into another chunk.

Currently I'm kind of reinventing the wheel here due to my optimizer having the idea to "upgrade" websites on the fly before they get to the client.

If all websites were XHTML1.1 strict based, that part would have been so much easier.

> Actually, I have for a long time been of the opinion that the quantity of noise anyone can comfortably endure is in inverse proportion to their mental powers, and can therefore be regarded as a rough measure of them.

Ditto.

My personal subjective observation on tolerance of meaningless noise and mental powers of others coincides with this observation.

This getting downvoted would improve my opinion of both the noise intolerance and intellectual prowess of the hackernews community.
> stop it from going nova

Somehow preventing our sun to swell into a red giant is also only a short term and meaningless problem in the grand scheme of things. You would have to prevent the heat death of the universe if you want human mankind to exist forever or accept that things will eventually come to an end.
IIRC there was also another problem with MySQL and .NET: MySQL used the year 0 as an uninitialized DateTime but .NET starts at year 1.

I think the workaround was to pass some parameter in the connection string.
> "If conservatives become convinced that they can not win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. The will reject democracy."

This is true on both sides of the political divide.

The narrative from the Right is something like, "The Democrats are trying to steal the election with voter fraud, rioting to intimidate conservative voters, and last-minute changes to voting laws. We need to fight this by pushing Voter ID, for keeping the voting system as-is (either in-person or absentee, but no mail-in voting[1]), and seating our supreme court justice. They can only win by cheating."

The narrative from the Left is something like, "The Republicans are trying to win by suppressing the popular vote. We need to fight this by expanding voting to as many people as possible, abolishing the Electoral College, and preventing the Republicans from seating their supreme court pick. They can only win by cheating."

Both of those viewpoints have large elements of truth to them. This is not politics as usual -- this is a dirty fight to the death, between two mutually incompatible visions for the future of the United States.

Neither side is going to "play fair".

> "Reformed conservative thinker"

Reversing polarity, would you call a former Democrat that now supports Trump a "reformed liberal"? Something tells me the answer is "no".

People learn and change their views. Or the Overton Window shifts, and they find that their views puts them in a different camp.

[1] Absentee and Mail-In Voting are different. Absentee voting assumes you have registered to vote for an upcoming election, and receive your ballot by mail. With mail-in voting, ballots are sent to all potential voters.
That was a lovely read
When I got into programming it took me about 10 years before I could search anything online, the best I could hope for was getting something out of the local library.

Even BBS were available only to the selected few that could afford bloody expensive long distance calls.
Last i checked, it was only used for stuff provided to the user themselves (so a bypass in dompurify would allow you to xss yourself but not others.). However that was a long time ago, so im not sure what the current state is.
I remember being very meticulous about my learning process and tried to build a sandcastle of knowledge. I had notebooks for every subject, I went over them every so often just to be sure I don't forget stuff etc. I was living in a 19th century time-frame and hoped to be one of those autodidacts, Renaissance men, polymaths who knew everything there was to know about the world they were living in. Romantic and vain dreams, that don't match our times.

I grew out of it and the truth is similar to Sturgeon's Law: 90% of everything is crap! So, why waste my time on trying to memorize stuff I don't really need, just to satisfy my own superiority complex and to feel like an erudite man? Now I'm using Just-In-Time approach: If I don't know or can't remember something, I will look it up.
10GBASE-T has a different story to USB3.

10GBASE-T consumes too much power (2-5 Watts!) and generates too much heat for a single port (a transceiver can go up to 90 celsius!) , so it is not suitable for most of areas, including for home NICs (requires spaces for big coolers) and for enterprise switches (ports cannot be densely placed [1]). But I haven't heard of reliability concerns that USB3 has. Well, they are designed to work up to 100 meters so they should be reliable. Maybe it's all because of the transformers you mentioned?

Therefore it's very common to use alternatives like optics and simple DAC copper cables for 10Gbe. I also think home networking industry will eventually give up 10GBASE-T.

Amazon definitely comes under considering base salary only. I hear they have a cap 165K for base salary (185K in NYC/SF).

No matter how senior the position, it seems the person wouldn't qualify for Level IV. What would the consequences of that be? Can they just hire them at a Level 3?
Welcome to the modern day slavery.
Yes, I'm hoping for something automatic enough to allow for a turbocharged version of Foveated Rendering. One where, instead being dead ahead of you, the region of high-resolution rendering would follow your eyes as they saccade - so you'd never be able to tell the headset renders only a tiny fraction of the image at any given time, while giving it even more time to produce a high-quality render there.
Like... software developers? Lawyers? Doctors? Architects? I don't see any of these professions seeing an overwhelming number of would-be immigrants to the point that it would destroy the local demand market for them.

And regardless, the point the parent was making is that even if it did, this would be ok, because the broader influx of immigrants would create more demand for all of these professions to the point where it'd be a wash.

I've used celery very successfully in the past once setup. About ten years ago I had problems connecting to rabbitmq. I finally found a solution and posted it on the GitHub project page. The funny thing is two years later I ran into the same issue. I forgot about that post and ended up stumbling on my post, and at first didn't realize it was mine.

I still get an occasional email about that solution.

Your argument is stop liking what I don't like.

It was Schoppenhauer’s opinion too. See his essay “On Noise”.

A counter example is John von Neumann who preferred working in noisy environments.
This would be about the time when the default startup jingle for Windows 95 was composed by Eno, and possibly being played more times per day in many places than anything else, including lots of popular pop music.

For a few years until people got Windows 98, more people were listening to Eno every day without knowing it than some pop artists had fans.

I am in the market for a UPS for my home server rack (live in Nashville lots of storms and power failures), but a lot of the reviews of big brands such as APC and CyberPower on Amazon are very negative.

That might not be possible. I remember struggling with the proofs of the singularity theorems, in the last year of my physics degree, after two semesters of differential geometry. Some of the things that people win the Nobel Prize for are genuinely hard.

The Large Scale Structure of Space-Time is the classic. However, it's the book that Hawking was referring to in his joke about every equation halving the sales.
I had this exact idea at a hackathon in 2013, except we did it as a website instead of a CLI so that a) nontechnical users could use it, and b) you could go-between any random device, including a phone. Implemented a working MVP and everything; no account-creation, just upload your file or text and get a download code. It worked great, but didn't really take off and eventually I shut down the server. Now I generally message myself on Slack, when it's between my own devices.

To note that this article is some subtle informercial to subscribe to some tool to optimise and automate a sellers ads bidding.

Edit: What a paradox, criticising Amazon for its vampire attitude (takes a cut on the sold price, on shipping costs, on inventory, on returns, on ads).
The points are valid, but the author is trying to sell a tool starting at $29 per month + 4.5% of ads cost. This tool could easily be integrated in the Amazon ads system, it wouldn't surprise me.
I am actually looking into building something that helps with watering house plants.

Is your problem that you forget to water them, overwater them or just the sheer amount it takes to water your plants because you have so many? (Or maybe something else?)
So if convicted, I assume they will be putting Netflix in jail and make Netflix register as a sex offender?
Another area of complexity in presidential elections is the electoral college. People see the headline polling numbers and assess them as if it were a straight popular vote with a simple outcome, when I'm reality the end result is highly dependent on where votes are cast.

And, to nitpick: the sun will never go nova.
The problem isn't really "brand" so much as "vendor lying^W^Wmarketing".

The UPS vendors don't highlight the fact that basically anything you buy retail is "offline/standby" and that there are lots of downsides to these types (a lot of them switch off if the battery goes dead even if the AC is still live).

Double-conversion UPS systems are the best, but they have loud fans, so are not really suited to home or office use.

Most people who care about a UPS, probably want what is called "line-interactive". It's a decent tradeoff of features vs heat/fan noise for most people.

It's a UPS and it should "just work", right? <grumble>

UPS company marketing folks should all wind up tarred and feathered for not pointing out the uselessness of their "standby/offline" UPS systems.

It actually kind of seems like we can do this. We do that by increasing the visa requirements, as this new directive is doing so.
From another comment -

The parent did not say memorizing will make you smart. He said it was something smart people tend to do. There's a big difference.

It's interesting that whenever memorization is mentioned, there will always be a response like "I don't need to memorize X", when the person never said you should. Your parent did not recommend memorizing syntax.
Perhaps GP and GGP were "stereotypical westerners who interpreted ancient spiritual texts literally". I for sure was, having been brought up in particularly scripture-obsessed denomination of Christianity. But I'd argue that view holds true for all Abrahamic religions, which comprise the majority of active faiths on Earth. Religions based on the Bible tend to be half faiths, half community management handbooks. Despite promises of various forms of life everlasting, they're very much focused on micromanaging the profane, the mundane.

I'd love to read a study that focused on the effectiveness of these sorts of measures. I get that for the platform it's largely about optics but I want to know how often this actually mitigates rumor spread vs simply migrates rumors to other platforms like 4chan, 8kun, Gab, Parler, etc.
Choosing based on whether it's in quotes seems like a better solution than using an equals sign. Not everything follows that convention admittedly, but not everything understands the '=' either. Or it could just treat everything as text until a user tells it otherwise.

But none of that is really the point. Because CSV files aren't just for importing into Excel. One of their main benefits is their portability. In other situations column types might be specified out of band, but even if not, putting equals signs before values is unconventional, so more likely to hurt than help. And in the cases it might help, i.e. when you only care about loading into Excel, then you have options other than CSV, rather than contorting CSV files for Excel's sake.

> What ever happened to process and a sense of responsibility and craft in your work?

I actually have no idea what you are on about. I'm talking about the "responsibility and craft" of not producing screwed up CSV files. Why do some people find that so offensive? Yes, it is not inconceivable that there could be some situation working with legacy systems where putting `="..."` in CSVs is, unfortunately, your best option. Sometimes you do have to put in a hack to get something done. But don't go around telling people (or yourself) that it is "the correct way".
30 years ago it enabled my siblings and I to continue to follow our home curriculum while we spent three years posted to a developing country for dad's foreign service job, and my mother to complete a college degree while we were there.
I remember back in the days when SQL injections were a big thing. I was a newb and had no idea what I was doing, but I was using a scheme library that created the queries by something akin to format strings (or was it something like quasiquoted s-expressions? It is almost 20 years ago). Anyway, it did the right thing: it escaped everything.

The result? The website of my little diablo 2 clan was the only one in my group of friends that did not get hacked. Due to me using an obscure library that did the right thing in a language nobody liked. It wasn't any victory of mine. Had I used PHP I would have been just as pwned as my friends.
Do explanations for data-based predictions increase users' trust in AI?
This is actually an insightful question (or at least has the potential to be one), and it's a shame it's being downvoted.

Why do we automatically prioritize jobs for people who just randomly happen to live inside our borders, over people who don't? 110 years ago my great-grandparents moved to the US, and maybe I wouldn't exist today if the attitude then was "prioritize Americans at all costs".

There's nothing inherently special about someone who has the same passport as you when it comes to where they should be allowed to live and work. Our borders are mostly just arbitrary lines drawn based on who had the best military at a particularly pivotal time in history for that region.

Given the diversity of thought and values across the US, I expect I have more in common with a lot of people who are not US citizens, who live in other parts of the world, than huge swaths of America. Maybe I want more people in this country that share my values. I've never really thought about immigration in these terms before, but this question has prompted some tangential thoughts about it.

> It's also ironic that there is always generic xenophobia against "second-tier programming talent from India" when Indians as a group pay the highest taxes per-capita in the US and are one of the most law-abiding.

I'm curious if you've ever actually worked at a US company that was almost entirely Indian. I think a lot of this has to do with people's personal experiences at work.

I worked in a subgroup of Fortune 10 company that was 98% Indian (3 white people out of about 200). The amount of cronyism was really eye opening. Personal friends of the bosses were the only people hired by the parent company (others were "consultants" for an all-H1B sponsoring firms). There were fairly reliable rumors of company leaders having their own "staffing" companies that took cuts from many of the H1Bs as well. We had a number of wives (and in one case a husband) of developers who couldn't program, but would get programming jobs as personal favors - a few on each team. Our head boss was chosen because she and an executive lived in the same apartment complex and their kids played together. This is the kind of stuff that went on. I've never seen anything like it anywhere else I've worked. There was almost no accountability for people being bad at their job. Almost all had Masters degrees and a few years experience, but were no better (and usually worse) than recent college grads from the local state university.

I'm pretty sure this isn't isolated because you hear about entire departments becoming all Indian at some companies (Cisco, UHG, ect). Basically, everyone who can't stand the cronyism leaves and the Indians bosses only hire their friends or friends of friends or other Indians.

I'm sure many people have good experiences working with Indian H1Bs (and I've had good experiences when they are part of a much larger and diverse team like what you'd have at a FAANG company), but one bad experience like I had can really sour you towards what's going on.
Whats harder is getting mobile phones to work as a damn usb webcam without paying money for it.
Hmm sounds like a good idea for a social app that syncs the movie watching experience. If someone wants to make a toilet pause or rewatch a scene it's hard to sync again.
I test drove one of these as a youngster when my father brought a demo home from the salesman.

Nobody had seen anything like it, and I did want to keep it because the registers looked so promising, but otherwise it really didn't do that much.

For most things it could be outperformed by an unpowered slide rule or Magic Brain Calculator. Or a printing adding machine when you need the output document.

Plus it was about the same price as a new Volkswagen beetle which was about the cheapest car and about the only import you would usually see. People were still not very comfortable driving a foreign car across the US because there were virtually no available tires, parts, qualified mechanics, or metric tools in many states at all, and seldom until you got to a big city, most often close to a port of arrival at a factory dealer.

A new Ford Falcon could be had for only a few hundred dollars more.

I really wanted to work with the Friden extensively but we could not keep it, though I was really looking forward to seeing what they came up with next even more. Well, within a couple years at school we were very fortunate to get a Wang 370 which you could program with the same kind of blank computer cards as the IBM 360 at the university.

But only one card at a time almost like it was a toaster.

The future was going to be great, we were going to the moon!
