My family began eating better during the pandemic. The reason is that the familiar options (restaurants) became unavailable or less desirable. So we started thinking more about our diet and making more deliberate decisions, rather than following the old routine.
What is the signature good for if they hand it out without review? Might as well get rid of the requirement.
At your own expense. How many people are going to make that trade?

Since when was this a "prime axiom" of physics? Physics deals with our observations of the behaviour of our universe, not what possible substrate could be calculating those results.
> why does this type of car thrive so well?

Cars around you on the road get bigger so you feel more uncomfortable in your small car (just like some feel uncomfortable driving close to big trucks) so your next car will be a bigger one. I think this kind of anxiety is the reason for most people.
I drive a RAM 2500 with a Cummins 6.7l diesel engine. Perhaps I can help provide some perspective. It’s a uniquely useful vehicle whose utility a regular SUV will never hope to approach. It’s my daily driver and grocery getter. My neighbors and I “time share” a boat in that they pay for the care and feeding of the boat, and I take care of shifting the boat when it’s on land. I never pay to have anything delivered. If it’s small enough to fit in the truck’s bed, I throw it in. If it’s bigger, I rent a trailer, and then sky’s the limit. I moved across the country with it using a 12’ long rented trailer, and it was a breeze. I carry my kayaks in the back - just throw them in, strap them down, and go to the water. Not a week passes without this truck enabling me to haul, tow, or drag something heavy or awkward. My wife’s car broke down, so I towed it using my truck and a rented car trailer to the repair shop. If I had a penny for each time I’d helped pull someone out of a ditch, I’d have enough to purchase a new set of recovery straps.

Let’s talk about some difficulties. It’s a temperamental beast at times. I live in the South, so I don’t have the “cold start” problem, but I don’t have an engine block heater either. So whenever I travel north, I have to take care. Haven’t had any real issues yet - the truck’s remote starter seems to fend for itself - but I’m wary of it. Repairs can be expensive, since all components are commercial-grade and are priced accordingly. Maintenance is more expensive, but it’s a much more rare event than in a gasser. Parking in an urban environment can be a pain. Parallel parking requires skill, and there are some multistory parking structures in which I will not fit. A little bit of upfront planning seems to alleviate these problems. The truck is loud, but you only really hear it when driving slowly between two large buildings. My neighbors don’t complain, especially since they benefit from it so much.

Oh, and I can smoke most other vehicles when doing a little Saturday night racing off a stop light.
Britain has great difficulties making any restrictions on motor vehicles. Only London has any significant restrictions.

Look at the map [1] where many mid-sized German, Dutch and some Italian towns restrict old/polluting cars from being used.

Meanwhile, British cities talk a lot, but delay any implementation until the following year. Fuel duty has stayed the same for 10 years, but public transport fares have risen every year.

People act like “how could it cost this much?” - very clearly it doesn’t and the legal regime and history of the US has led to 3rd party actors negotiating behind the scenes between healthcare providers and patients.

Wage controls in WWII led to the concept of employer-provided health insurance. It all went downhill from there for obvious reasons.
The other person might not strictly be in a car, they might be a cyclist or a person simply walking around, so I don't think your counter argument applies.

I would also argue that centering your car buying decisions around your own safety is selfish and or egotistical; other people are just as valid as you and you should consider their safety just as much as your own, especially the traffic participants that are less able to defend themselves against bigger vehicles like pedestrians or cyclists.
This really hits the nail on the head. Just as 140 chars and clickbait headlines can convey a lot of misinformation.
Have direct knowledge or worked with many critical systems in a few different areas (cannot get more specific for several legal reasons). Can confirm. I'm given to understand that legacy systems (think 30ish years ago) were much better engineered, but there's not enough Proper Engineers(tm)(r) to design (and build) all the critical systems that are necessary.

The biggest issues are that an engineer with the knowhow is expensive, a team of them is prohibitively expensive, a lot of companies outsource this work to different countries and make them sign onerous and dubiously-enforceable contracts, pay little, demand too much, and have incredibly unrealistic deadlines for the type of work that needs to happen.

You know how it is, if it never fails, you're throwing money out. That's the mentality of a lot of management types I've dealt with.
Ego-centrically, sure. You didn't specify that it makes meetings better /for anyone but you/.
With all the modern safety regulations, sedans and hatchbacks need high belt lines that dramatically reduces the greenhouse. There is also a trend for huge wheels that make for harsh rides since tires have so little sidewall.

SUVs and crossovers have more tire sidewall and offer a much better ride around cities filled with pot holes and crumbing roads. The higher H-point (hip placement) means climbing up and in rather than having to lower yourself down, a much easier operation. The belt line is still high, but your seat is also higher, so greenhouse and visibility is better. Being father off the ground reduces the sensation of speed, so more timid drivers feel more confident.

Car markers also get much higher margins from SUV/crossovers, so they are pushing them hard. All the deals are for these big vehicles, so that's what people are buying.

Modern vehicles are so much more aerodynamic, so there isn't that much penalty for a crossover. They also share platforms with their sedan and traditional hatchback cousins, so there isn't even that much of a weight penalty. Tesla Model 3 and Y are the same vehicle underneath, and while Y pays a range penalty, it's pretty small at ~7% EPA.
What expense? This includes persons on bicycles or on foot.

I'd kill for an iPad that runs macOS.

But using an iOS device as a main computer? It's a hard sell given you are only allowed to use App Store apps. So much software I want to use (e.g. most free software apps, the Steam back-catalogue, many older Windows apps) is not available on iOS and never will be. Also, of course, you aren't allowed to do software development on an iOS device.

Maybe the new generation that's only known life inside the walled garden will be able to live within its constraints, even if they'll be impoverished in some ways. I think that's what Apple's counting on. I hope they don't succeed.
Protecting from the ability to make ransomware payments is by far the most ridiculous excuse I have ever heard for regulating crypto. Protecting idiots from the consequences of their own stupidity by regulating everyone else is not and will never be a strategic policy. It’s just the political excuse used to enact policies which serve other goals.
From your first link:

"A compound noun is formed when two words are combined to make a completely new word. This means that the meaning of the new word must be significantly different than either of its parts individually."

iPad Air and iPad Pro are not significantly different than iPad individually. "Air" and "Pro" are modifying "iPad."

Also, I couldn't find anywhere Apple refers to these iPads in the plural, but they definitely call them "AirPods Pro," which points to postnominal adjective.
Yes, this is important. As soon as you start counting hybrids the statistics become somewhat meaningless, not all hybrids are created equal. Some almost seem to just amount to greenwashing, but maybe I'm just cynical.
I think proving a specific instance of lost sponsorship income to the satisfaction of a court is going to be extraordinarily difficult, especially if the argument is that consumers draw more adverse inferences from commercial datasets (which they generally don't have access to themselves; betting companies use them to help set the odds) than watching the matches.

Even more so when the context is that virtually any employer of professional footballers derives some of their revenue from betting, and betting companies are the primary sponsors of half the English Premier League teams and the English Football League organization
> The simplest solution might be to detect that a question is heading in that direction, and refuse to answer it.

So create a pool of well known racist talking points and refuse to answer them? That does sound plausible.

A more general "racism detector" would be rather non-trivial to write.
It's a psychology thing. People feel less if they are sharing a road with somebody who is sitting way higher than them.
Also big cars feel (and probably are) safer (for the occupants).
So now there is a sort of race to for SUV adoption.
I used Dreamweaver, back in the day.

You could have it produce outstanding markup, but that meant spending a lot of quality time, playing with the templates.
To those who miss the point, nobody is here denying that C++ has something to bring, it's just that what it brings isn't what those who promote some fashion would claim that is to be universally used, and, honestly, there's no actual reason to believe such claims, for they being not more true now than at the times where "making complex OOP hierarchies" was the most popular advice -- I remember these times too. Or the times when managers wanted to believe that everybody will just use Rational Rose to draw nice diagrams and the actual programming won't be needed, at all. Every time has its hypes:

One size doesn't fit all. Some solutions to some problems could be and are provably better than those typically promoted or "generally known" at some point of time.

If that all still doesn't mean anything to you, please read carefully and very, very slowly "The Summer of 1960", seen on HN some 9 years ago:

Edit: Answering the parallel post writing "When you proclaim to ignore language lawyers, it sounds like you are knowingly breaking the rules of the C++ standard."

No. The language lawyers, in my perception, religiously follow everything that enters the standard and proclaim that all that has to be used, because it's standardized. Including the standard libraries and some specific stuff there that isn't optimal for the problem I'm trying to solve. And especially that whatever is newer and more recently entered the standard is automatically better. It's understandable that they support their own existence by doing all that -- it's about becoming "more important" just by following/promoting some book or some obligatory rituals (it's an easy and time proven strategy through the centuries, and that's why I call it "religiously", of course -- and I am also not surprised that somebody who identifies themselves with being one of the "lawyers" wouldn't like this perspective -- you are free to suggest a better name). But it should also be also very obvious that it's not what's necessarily optimal for me to follow, as soon as I can decide what I'm doing. And yes, it's different in the environment where the "company policy" is sacred. There one has the company "policy lawyers", and typically every attempt of change can die if one isn't one of them.

>"The new static generators create great sites, but they are way too technical for most users."

Just like to add that from what I've found they're also generally way "too technical" for technical/programming users too. Each time I try to set one up, I waste 1-2 hours of my time trying, git pulling, refreshing, testing, reading docs, etc before realizing what a ginormous time sink it is with their various weird DSL's and hierarchical organization methods and templates and whatnot.
Hi. I know what you are saying, it takes time to find traction but the key is to try out and test different channels. Think of your target customer and where are they most likely to find interest in your product. What you can look into is the "Bullseye framework" - 19 channels to find traction and if you find one, focus solely on it at first. https://medium.com/@yegg/the-19-channels-you-can-use-to-get-...

I'll bite, as I've long had this same question.

So the short answer is, it looks up the hash in the hidden services directory (iirc it's a distributed hash table of sorts): https://tor.stackexchange.com/questions/711/onion-domains-dn...

But what the heck is the hidden service directory?

This explains it better than I can at the moment: https://2019.www.torproject.org/docs/onion-services

As I understand it, Bob's tor software sets up entry points on the tor network, which don't know where Bob is, but know how to get to a circuit which can get to Bob, like regular Tor. Bob signs those entry points and publishes to the DHT. Alice's client asks the DHT for the entry points to the .onion hash. The entry points can then route Alice's traffic to Bob.

I hope someone can further unpack this :)
Understanding JavaScript and DOM basics before getting lost in frameworks
Hi,

I come from a backend(Services/K8s)/Infra background but going to be taking on managing a couple teams that build web applications and are deep into SPAs, JS frameworks and all the tooling that goes in to support it. Not going to be involved in day to day development but want a deeper understanding on the stack and ecosystem.

My learning style is to start from the basics and then build on top of it. In that vein I would like to understand the fundamentals of how the various front end pieces fit in vs jumping in straight into a opinionated framework like Vue or React. This will help me form a mental model on top of which everything else is built.

I know there is a lot of blogs/articles around HTML, JS, DOM, etc but nothing that I could find which ties everything together. Any good book/source out there that will help me kick of my new learning?

I'm not sure that what you're alleging is true.

For healthcare we make plenty of it and lots of people from elsewhere in the world come to the US for operations. Our problems there are all with healthcare billing, not healthcare production.

US freight rail is actually pretty good. For why our passenger rail is terrible that comes down to high construction costs and this https://bikeeastbay.org/rail/fra.html. The costs are a combination of the rest of the world inventing techniques that the US considers to be Not Inveted Here and a penchant for regulation by lawsuit rather than regulation by beaurocracy.

The US and EU are the two places you can get really good aircraft, it's a major manufacturing export center for the US. China, for example, still can't make modern jet engines and while the fusilage and electronics of their newest combat jets are fine its speed, acceleration, and fuel efficiency are well behind US jets for that reason.

The US is a major pharmaceutical exporter.

The US is also a major semiconductor exporter, we're one of the three countries in the world along with Samsung and Taiwan that are still in the race while something like a dozen companeis have dropped out of the race as capitcal costs keep going up.

Shipbuilding, yeah, US shipbuilding can't compete on the global market because US laborer are relatively expensive.

Basically high wages mean that the US can only compete in manufacturing in high value industries like the ones you mentioned. Things like aircraft, pharmaceuticals, and semiconductors. But we're not going to be a textile exporter until the rest of the world gets to be as wealthy as we are now.
Racism goes in, racism comes out. You can't explain that.

This sounds like an excuse for a group of Tory cronies to hide the fact they were spouting anti-Semitism into an Alexa as a laugh.

Maybe. But another thing to consider is that if you allow emulation and homebrew you remove two of the three crowds that are trying to crack your security.

If you keep it locked down you will have those crowds trying to bypass security and piracy will benefit from that.
> communication with two different browsers (at least), validating source code, signing code and packing it up

... is not something that requires a massive engine like Node. It just isn't.

> Because web developers who do JavaScript for a living find it easier to write JavaScript

This is an argument I can accept from a random free-time-opensource developer, not from a well-funded behemoth like Mozilla. An org that big should pay attention to what their objectives are, not what they feel like hacking together on any given day. How can they not see that making this sort of tool significantly burdensome to install on 90% of desktops is bound to limit its impact?

> suddenly every utility "should of course" be written in Rust

No. Write it in Go if you prefer. Write it in brainfuck, I don't care. What I care about, as a user, is that I can just get a single executable I can run on my machine. I care about usability, that's all I care about. How can it be acceptable for a tool like web-ext to have a setup story that is "figure out how to install npm; npm install web-ext and see it fail; figure out how to install Visual Studio (will it even work with the free version? I hope so); re-do npm install web-ext, ignoring a bunch of warnings about everything being horribly insecure and unmaintained"...? And then they have the gall to say in their copy that "you only need a text editor", just before pushing this crap. I mentioned Rust only because it's terrible optics that its very home doesn't dogfood it. Again, not rocket science to notice, at organizational level.

As a fervent Firefox advocate, this is the sort of thing that really riles me up.
It's because the current car industry and all of its supply chains are so dead crazy efficient, that the government can no longer squeeze any taxes out of the business without disrupting the circle.

Therefore a new, way more inneficient industry is required, which will become very efficient of course over time. Otherwise there would be no growth, measured in GDP. There is no profit in commodity unless you are a monopolist. Which the car industry given the large-scalre mergers of the past is increasingly becoming.

The article says that Route 53 uses randomly generated name server names, so if at your registrar you are pointing your domain to Route 53 name servers, and then you remove the records for your domain at Route 53 but leave the record at your registrar pointing to Route 53, it is unlikely that another Route 53 customer could add your domain and get your traffic. Their randomly generated Route 53 name server names would probably not match yours.

I wonder how effective that actually is? As far as I know there is nothing in the DNS protocol like the "Host" header of HTTP that allows the name server to tell what name the client knows the name server by. Two differently named name servers will actually be distinct only if they have different IP addresses.

The question then is how many IP addresses does Route 53 have for name servers?

Ideally, you'd want to have a separate IP address for each customer's name server. Do any of the big hosting companies do that?

I'd expect that they could do it without needing a lot of extra IP addresses by giving each customer who has a static IP address for the hosts an option to have traffic to port 53 of that IP address transparently sent to the hosting provider's name servers along with tagging to let the name servers identify what IP address it was for so it can serve the right name data.

That would allow each customer to have as many apparently dedicated name servers as they have hosts with static IP addresses.
Is there any evidence this book ever saw widespread use or are we looking at the 19th century equivalent of one of these extremely money saving inventions of late 20th century tele-shopping? Even if general-audience coding schemes like this enjoyed some popularity (I do not know but am rather doubtful), it does not mean that everything in such a book saw usage. Did people employ a code word to save a fraction of a pound on placing a 4000 pound lay bet (another example) at presumably greatly increased risk of the bet getting cocked up completely or to concisely inform the family that whilst the mother was a goner but at least the female baby twin survived? It would be fascinating if they did, but maybe a bit of scepticism is in order.
Github PRs (at least on the enterprise version) still have the problem of collapsing comments where the associated line of code changed in some way that had nothing to do with the comment. They also require a lot of scrolling if the overall diff is rather long. And, they still don't provide a way to comment on commit messages themselves.
That last one is interesting, but the first argument works just as well for cars like Volkswagen Sharan etc which are also very popular and given all things perhaps cheaper?

I don't know if you can really fix 'electricity in Africa', there are ~56ish countries depending on which you recognize, all with competing interests and governments. Some have reasonable electrical systems and no real motive to potentially lose that by tying into some larger grid. As a whole Africa has a lot of sunlight and potential for solar power, it also has a huge amount of coastline with the potential for offshore wind and tidal energy.

I would think the issue would be how large it is, and how many tiny settlements there are that are detached from the cities. It would take a lot of effort to build out electrical lines to all of them. And the people who have the least access are the least likely to be able to afford to pay enough for it to be worth it to a company.
