You'll find these posters hanging at just about every research lab in the world -- they're not so much a useful tool (e.g. like the giant periodic table in every chemistry classroom), but they're really impressive, and good advertising for Roche.

I spent a lot of time staring at these in grad school (usually while waiting for other things to happen).
I hate when people do that, a concrete implementation of something in a very contextual instance is causing a non optimal result, and then make it sound like the category of solutions under that umbrella in a wide range of context is just bad and causing the issues.

There could be many ways to enact rent control, every city is different, Covid is not always a thing, etc.

Maybe all possible implementation of rent control are always bad in all real world scenarios, but having a single example of a particular concrete implementation in a particularly odd set of circumstances doesn't prove that.

A good compromise here would be to allow bankruptcy on student loans. Those who need it can take advtange of that choice, while those for whom student loans provided a significant benefit can continue to pay them back.
The struggles of small hands are real but I'd sooner see standardization of a single smaller keyboard than the proliferation of three different sizes.

I am a white male pianist and double bass player - my hands comfortably span a ninth. I also spent way more time than is sensible getting good at melodica, with a smaller than piano keyboard. It was a bit rough to start with but I found myself adapt to sufficient accuracy pretty quickly.
Actually I'm not seeing many projects with a JavaScript backend. In my experience the number is one, and it was 2015. I mean, backends of projects I worked on or somebody offered to hire me to work on. It could be selection bias and yet they're asking me about Java, which I basically abandoned about 15 years ago, PHP, which I know since the beginning of it but only kind of toyed with, even C# which I can read as a foreign language close to one I know but never used. I wonder if anybody asked me about Rust or Go, probably not. What they ask me about and I accept to work on are Ruby, Elixir and Python, in order of my preference. Python is a distant third (as preference.)

About frontend: JavaScript all the times if there is a frontend separate from the backend. React with some rare Angular project.

I'd like to make a poll and see how many of the people here are working on a JavaScript backend vs any other language.

Just personal taste. Without knowing the actual use case it doesn't make sense to judge. However, there's one thing that GraphQL CRUD APIs will always win over REST CRUD APIs and that's n+1. Smart enough GraphQL middlewares can turn any Query into a single SQL statement whereas with REST it can very easy become a waterfall of hundreds or thousands of requests. But again, if you don't have nested data you might not this feature.

I know that Google Recaptcha does have support for reading the captcha. https://support.google.com/recaptcha/answer/6175971?hl=en

I don't think there's a captcha that specifically is for blind people. And I don't think there's any shortage of tools that would be written off as something that couldn't help the blind, no matter what developers come up with.

> But I'm not the primary dev: I have no familiarity with the code base, I have little idea what it is doing (and yes, I've asked). As I'm not a dev of the code (and have no time to become one — our agile sprint planning will never allow time for that, and, since I'm not one of the devs) I'm not able to add the information I need to the code to get the insights into answering "why is it eating up most of the compute?".

It looks like you identified the root causes of the problem here: the fact that you're not the dev doesn't have to be a problem. It's the fact that it's under-documented & has bad metrics.

While everyone understands that we will always have bugs and issues (at least while we keep working in the current paradigm for software development), having good designs, documentation and metrics is attainable. It just has to be prioritized by management.

> "our agile sprint planning will never allow time for that"

Sounds like those who call the shots either don't understand the cost of not doing these things, or believe that it's more cost effective not to do them.

Sorry in advance for the negativity. I'd love to rediscover the joy of reading quality periodicals so I'll read other comments here and try anything that looks good.

As for my experiences lately...

I subscribed to The Atlantic after reading it online.

The print edition is disappointing for the quality of its typography and illustrations. The layout subediting should contribute a lot more to the experience. Instead, I feel like I'm wading aimlessly through a swamp without landmarks.

I like the online typography and layout of NYT and WSJ, and I subscribed to both for the quality of their newsrooms and the depth of their resources.

I lament the polarisation of journalistic publications into left and right. This is particularly jarring in the comments sections of NYT and WSJ. The partisan tropes are unedifying, repetitious and dull. I'm happier not reading them.

For hardcopy, I'm reading books.
Weirdly, we got the same notice a few days ago, but it said it meant we'd no longer be able to authenticate people using our external auth provider (auth0.com).

Honestly the entire system is staggeringly complicated because (if you're asking about the bits in the diagram there) it includes hardware input devices, user accounts, applications, GPU output, and the network (so basically the entire computer).

X11 is a protocol that clients (applications you run) use to communicate with a display server (it sends them input events and outputs things to the screen for them). Anyone can implement a display server that speaks the X11 protocol and clients can connect to it.

Xorg is one such server implementation. Unlike other server implementations, Xorg does all the heavy lifting to deal directly with a wide range of real world hardware devices (mouse, keyboard, GPU) which makes it quite complicated. Adding to that, it's also quite old and thus supports some rather outdated hardware.

Just to make things super confusing, X.Org (the project) provides additional X11 display servers such as XWayland and Xephyr. These alternative implementations are much simpler than Xorg because instead of directly interfacing with the hardware they nest inside some other windowing system.
For me it's a case of being the worst open source image editor, except for all the others.

The scripts always seem broken, the UI was a mess for a while on a Mac. The multi windowed system was great if the windowing manager expected that sort of thing and terrible otherwise.

Ufraw integration seems an awful way of getting to edit raw files and I go years at a time without being able to get it working on a Mac.

But it's still my first choice.
This system of tenants having to look for a new place every 2 years is extremely weird to my German eyes where once you are tenant, you always pay your rent, and don't do bad things, the contract can't be easily terminated by the landlord.
"The browser must not proxy or alter the network communication. Your browser must not do any of the following:

* Rewrite HTTP headers

The browser must have a reasonably complete implementation of web standards and browser features. You must confirm that your browser does not contain any of the following:

* Headless browsers

* Text-based browsers"

Sure, I see the "increased security" goal of protecting HTTP headers and allowing images and Javascript in the context of the "sign in" process that Google has implemented. However I also see the goal of not impeding Google's online ad services business which, at least in part, relies on images, Javascript and blocking automation after the user signs in.
I fail to see the benefits of these requirements outside of Google's sign-in process.

HN does not impose such restrictions. It is no less useful than Google, IMO. Imagine if HN required "a reasonably complete implementation of web standards and browser features" just to sign in.

I once read that Marissa Mayer, former Google VP, still uses Pine.

I'm surprised such draconian policies still haven't been challenged in court like Microsoft or Google have.
You cannot use average here, since the actual length is affected by how good of a rent deal you have to start with, and in the case, if the tenants start with a good deal (for them), they are less likely to leave after the average period has passed. I don't know if you meant the same thing with the word "endogenous".
The new version of reddit bogs down FF to where I have to restart if I want to keep scrolling. This is on a TR3960X with 64GB of memory. I haven't checked the resource manager when that happens but I probably should.
Yes, because there are more important problems to solve does mean we should ignore this one. That's literally the point of prioritizing - budgeting is based on recognizing that there are limits to reality - limits to how much money we can invent or tax without destroying our economy. You seem to think that we should get this for free, but it has to come from somewhere, and we're already facing an extraordinarily expensive pandemic, plus the West seems to keep burning and getting more expensive every year, hurricane season is doing more damage every year, we have more and more places where we can't maintain infrastructure, and, well, the list could go on.
Subsidies are bad, but not as bad as price controls.
In that case, there is another benefit: more ambitious compositions. And while you may be right, there are still numerous older compositions to play.

I tend to agree with You but think it probably goes much further back in time.

The article also mentions the fact that "Jesuits were in the area during that time."

It is well known that in the west during that time, the church kept a vast array of knowledge closely guarded from the general population, potentially a cause for the dark ages.

It is entirely possible that the Indian innovations were actually in fact passed to them from the Jesuits, only to be published by the Indian school and then eventually making its way back to the European masses.

And before that it's most likely the same discoveries were made by the Syrians and so on and so on...
Being a professional musician takes tens of thousands of hours of work. If you don't put in the work, it is obvious to the listener. You have to learn all the theory and technique regardless of instrument or key layout. You can reduce the load when you're a beginner by using a ABCDEF keyboard instead of a QWERTY keyboard, but there is no way around learning the basics.
No, the batteries "die" because cold weather requires more energy to start the car and batteries are far less effective when cold. (Physically they die either from grid corrosion increasing resistance so they can't provide enough current to start or the plates shedding active material to the point where they can't hold enough charge). There is normally not any copper in a standard car starter battery.
It's interesting because guitarists already have this depending on the scale length you play, which can go from 24.5" up to 28" or even 30" scale lengths depending on if you're playing extended range guitars or not (I'm sure there are shorter scales but I'm just going of 'standard' scale lengths).

On top of this, neck materials, profiles and radius can very so you can find just the right fit for your hand. You can even get fanned frets or innovations like the Strandberg Endurneck to make playing more comfortable.

I suppose this is because the guitar has more room for design flexibility compared to the traditional piano, which hasn't really changed much since it's inception.
N+1 and The Baffler both seem to be constitutionally incapable of releasing a bad issue. Highly recommended.

That just means rents will go up even more to compensate landlords for the risk of having to pay higher taxes when the unit is vacant.

Look, you are not going to cause rents to fall by adding more costs to landlords. To get rents to fall you will need to either build more units (increase supply) or make the city less desirable (decrease demand). For example, don't allow construction of office space in the city unless it's matched by construction of housing units.
The question implies that 40 year olds can't learn new skills. So that is propagating ageism.

Rent control is not universal for all rentals in SF. It depends on the building itself, and generally doesn’t apply to new buildings. So this post is very misleading.

Plus - forgiving student loan debt, or, worse, Free College for All, would only incentivize colleges making college more expensive. College is already too expensive - it's literally ten times more expensive than it was 50 years ago, for no greater benefit. We need to find solutions that drive down the cost of things that we want people to have, not solutions to help us spend more of our money on them.

Unless the rental market in SF bounces back soon, one would expect a sizable portion of landlords to opt for cashing out. Which, in theory, should increase the real estate supply and drive property prices down (AKA rents are a leading indicator of real estate prices). However, real estate seems to be unfazed by that prospect (still very much a bull market), as if it existed in a parallel universe. How to explain this paradox?
In this case, it looks like he doesn't even cover major parts of web development. Only no-SLA consumer apps. Just having a price tag on unavailability will change most of the reasoning for his points.

Samsung has had bootloader unlocking as a feature in all their mobile devices for a very long time. It is available for all devices, new or old.
You don’t have to move in SF after 2 years, but without rent control you may not have a choice.
Landlords have enourmous bargaining power because there is high demand and low supply. Markets determine price based on that. The idea of you "subsidizing" the old lady downstairs is sickening, as she has nothing to do with the fact that housing supply is so low. Who blocks proposals to build new housing? Landlords do.
Rent control, minimum wage etc that curtail free market rates for rent and wages are designed to keep people poor. They are insidious.

No, actually. Food is not price controlled to any similar degree as housing.

Nobody is going in to restaurants and telling them that they must sell a hamburger for less than 15$.

No one is going in to walmart and forcing them to sell cereal for less than 5$ a box.

Compared to rent and housing, it is way way way more free of a market, regardless of any negligible government regulations that you can find that are in no way on the same scale as rent control.
Sure, but if the gov’t caps the upside, the only fair thing is to cap the downside as well.
There are about 40 different barre chords you would commonly play, not including minors and thinking only of the two most common hand shapes. On the piano, there would be roughly 80, and you wouldn't be able to get some guidance based on shape like you could with those 44.

Google is actually misrepresenting the danger in their blogpost, because they write "One form of phishing, known as man-in-the-middle,..." - this statement is clearly false because MITM is not phishing. Not in any stretch of the definition. So who knows what is the real justification.
No, like Dropbox if you do referrals you can get extra credit and stay on the free tier indefinitely. Or you can pay-as-you go on the non-enterprise tier.
I think there's more potential to convince the right wing and the center of UBI than student loan forgiveness. Certainly I think we're making a better society if we are able to do so. The problem with the UBI is that a livable UBI is too expensive for us to afford right now - even at 11k, it's much bigger than the entire US federal discretionary budget. A much smaller UBI that grows with time, though, maybe.

Read the paper, it doesn't smoke HopsFS on concurrency. In the 2nd paper, we get 1.6m ops/sec on HopsFS HA over 3 availability zones (without S3 as a backing layer). Can you get that on S3 (maybe if you are Netflix, otherwise your starting quota is 1000s ops/sec)?

This is true, but misses the main point for how to determine whether the government providing money is better than not: positive externalities.

As an example, we all benefit hugely from the existence of an EMS (911, ambulances, emergency rooms) system, even if most of us don't use it much. That's a positive externality that's worth the government making sure happens, as it wouldn't necessarily happen without government involvement.

Similarly, public schooling (or publicly paid school) provides externalities: a literate society, a basic level of civic and cultural knowledge that people can assume as a baseline, opportunities for social mobility. None of those exist with a voluntary system.

This proposal doesn't seem to pass that test: at least, nobody has proposed positive externalities that come out of this.
