The design of a hammer has actually changed substantially over time. More recently, there's been a trend towards specialization in the framing hammer alone. 100 years ago most hammers looked like the classic hammers I remember from childhood: relatively small, sharply curved claws, a smooth face. As production framing exploded in the US after WWII, framers were pushing for more efficiency.

The framing hammer got heavier with a longer handle, broader face, straighter claw, and waffled face better for gripping nails (also why most loose framing nails have a cross-hatched pattern: so they can mate with the hammer face). From there, materials science really kicked in, and we saw steel-handled models, followed by fiberglass and other composite handles.

The latest developments (that I'm aware of) are products like the Stiletto (http://www.stiletto.com/p-80-ti-bone-iii-hammer-with-milled-...), which leverage materials like titanium to reduce weight while maintaining driving power, and include a replaceable steel face to prolong hammer life and allow using different faces for different applications.

Modern hammers with advanced material properties and functions can cost hundreds of dollars, but deliver much higher efficiency with less fatigue and a longer life. I compare that with the Sears hammer in my grandfather's garage and see a whole new generation of evolution.

There's a great article about hammer history at Fine Homebuilding: https://www.finehomebuilding.com/project-guides/framing/hamm...

Everyone who uses it in our office on all platforms experiences these issues to a greater or lesser extent, depending how much they use it.

I guess you’re just lucky? Or we’re unlucky?

...but we have about 900 staff using it, so it seems like a strange outlier to me.

I’m absolutely astonished to hear that you don’t get the “missing image” bug; that one happens all the time with larger images you share. It literally happened to me yesterday morning.

Maybe it a regional thing, and the Australian infrastructure is just rubbish behind the scenes and we’re seeing latency issues?

No idea; also don’t really care that much; teams gets my thumbs down. It’s rubbish as far as I’m concerned; hopefully others have better experiences with it.
> Alternately, you can say that UX design stabilized on a known good pattern.

Or maybe known-good-enough: We evolved this specific design through a path-dependent fashion, so it could have been different had other designs survived, but nobody else has come up with a new UX paradigm which is sufficiently better to displace it yet.

> they don't care if they paid more than the average Texan pays, because at the end of the day they're still paying less than half what they were paying in CA

I don't understand not caring about 6 figures of money. Is that really the outlook of the average California tech worker?
Well it sure doesn't help people gain trust in the institution when the large cooperations like Facebook Google and Twitter censor wrong speak with the blessing of many political leaders. eg. YouTube will censor videos about election fraud (in the 2020 presidential election not the 2018 Georgia senator election) or anything against the WHO (even though they corrected themselves a few times).
As I reach the tail end of my career, I am starting to think about what retirement will look like, and who it'll be spent with. I have been researching the co-living model. I am glad to see there are more co-living developments going up.
The only thing that couldn’t be verified until the last minute was the unblinded results.

Everything else should have been a continuous process of pre-verification up to the point the 128 positive confirmed COVID cases were unblinded.

Assume the unblinded results will be good enough, and verify everything else you would normally verify ahead of time. The only thing that remains is to verify the unblinded cases the day they are announced.

And not just that but your approval thresholds should already be preset and preregistered, the doses already distributed to point-of-care, and nurses start administering shots the very next day.

Yes it’s a big waste of money if it turns out not to work. That’s the whole point.

Turns out the vaccine is highly effective 10 days after the first dose. We could have been doing at least a million doses a day since November 19th. Realistically even long before then.
I agree. This may be a business decision to keep the media (and regulators/lawmakers of certain political stripes) happy, and it may indeed lower tensions on reddit in the short term, but it may not result in lower tensions as a whole.
It's in the first section of the guidelines:

"Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, ... If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic."
That only works if the people who are banned are fringe minority nobodies. We’re talking about banning the President of the United States, who although he lost just won 5 million more votes than Obama in 2008. This ends with further destruction of trust in elites, fracturing the media ecosystem, and opportunistic competitors arising.

The idea that gatekeepers need to withhold information from people so they believe the correct things is insane and has no limiting principle. We’ve already tumbled well down the slippery slope. Just a couple of years ago, the censorship was just going to be about “flat earth”-type stuff. Now we’re censoring stuff that’s still the subject of active litigation. They’re probably correct about it, but the first application of a terrible idea is usually workable. The Ministry of Truth probably started out to keep misinformation from spreading about vaccination, or something innocuous like that.
Oh trust me when I say feedly is broken. They keep adding features looking for paying subscribers. 80% of those features are rubbish if all you want is to read articles from feeds you curate yourself. Everything else is just noise.

You make a really good point. The toxicity really was upped a notch ever since Tencent got that sweet Chinese money and I think those sub makes sense if you think about it from the point of view of a Chinese Nationalist making fun of White and Black foreigners and the worse stereotypes about Americans and Westerners in general.
Text based browser. lol.

I can play full games like krunker.io right now in browser with minimal lag.

I hope all the OS developers are taking note. OS might be just a browser plugin in the future instead of the other way round.

Humans have a brain that soaks new information like a sponge. Internet is the new crack. Having a limited browser is sad.

Edit: ok I tried it. I have to allow 2-3 cookies to run google.com. Facebook doesnot run. I think its a niche thing. Like among peers it would be fun to learn to run and run it but not a stable thing.

How is YouTube protecting democracy? It seems to me its action silences a group of people in a democracy.
Ok, let's play do this imaginative exercise - Hammer looks simple but actually if you're few inches off while slamming it down, you can seriously injure yourself if you're holding the nails with your other hand. I'm sure we have all experienced that. How about a sensor that always drives the motion in the right location, it can be done by having sensors that feel your muscle twitches and angle then recalibrate using camera to the right angle and nails it in (pun intended). Another idea is a Swiss army knife but something that combines hammer, screwdriver, wrench into one design design offsetting the need to by separate tools.
Antibodies are specific for antigens. The one for your dermatitis will target a different protein than the one for COVID.
How does a cord for fleeing tell you anything about what it actually is?

Both of your examples bring very little meaning from their English definition. You just know a second definition in the context of programming, which is why you can deduce what it does.

The same applies to the people that don't fluidly speak the language.
24 hours worth of storage and 2x the wind turbines would smooth out the lack of supply in the graph you cited. A 5x seasonal variation would be more serious. I guess that exists at the poles with solar, but that’s getting into a small total percentage of global energy demand (and they could probably still use wind, unless snow prevented it).
As a seller if I got an opening offer 20% over my ask, I'd counter at 40%. Might as well take while the taking is good.
In case you didn't know, Warfarin, a heart medication, is also used as a rat poison.

A guy telling people they should drink genuinely harmful poison is of course bad, but by analogy I would say many of us are concerned that YouTube's current trajectory would result in banning important information about the health benefits of Warfarin in their crude attempt to stop the people from taking the bad sorts of rat poison.
The tooling space isn't broad enough to allow for differentiation across the board, so we have a number of tools that are working to validate/popularize a subset of functionality on top of the basics.

WMR's unique take is basically to be instant in every possible way, and to provide an ideal substrate for us to build and show Preact features that rely on bundler semantics. We have maintained a Webpack-based build tool for Preact for a while, and wanted to explore what a total re-think would look like. We also spent a while building out new pieces of the bundler that fit this model better than repurposing existing generalized tooling. This is one of the reasons WMR builds as fast as it does despite doing so much optimization work - it's designed around a singular goal and we allowed for very limited compromise.

I think that after a few years we will see a corresponding consolidation of the tools you mentioned, as the dust settles on this newer dev/prod split paradigm and it's effect on the bundler plugin ecosystem.

I think it depends on how many people take the vaccine willingly. If enough people are vaccinated, the spread will effectively stop and countries can start to reopen.

My hunch is that enough people will be willing to take the [apparently small] risk and we won't have to pressure anyone. Also, for at least the next few months we won't even be able to meet the demand for vaccines, so it'll be a while before that's a concern.

Counterpoint: if it hurts, do it more. That’s good operational hygiene. If you’re worried about certificate rotation failing, the surest way to make that process resilient is to do a lot of it. If you’re running the smallstep toolchain, you have an HA CA. That’s a sunk cost. That’s why it defaults to frequent rotation.

Furthermore, it’s not arbitrary. Credentials leak and services come and go. Having active keys around that aren’t in use is worse than not having them around. If someone accidentally commits a key to a GitHub repo or something, it’s nice to know that key will only be useful for a little while.

If you still want to rotate less frequently, change the default.

This really has very little to do with the topic at hand, so I’m not sure why we’re debating it. Do you want me to change the default certificate lifetime in step-ca? What do you think it should be?
Good choice in colours. Is it inspired by the color of the year?
I very much enjoyed reading this and the other post about the $400 MRR, Louis. Thanks for the humor combined with the harder lessons that many people tend to not see (survivorship bias). I’m sharing this elsewhere to help people who may be dejected on their ideas and execution of the ideas not picking up as much as they’d wish for them to.

All the best for Cloakist and any other ventures you come up with!
Can you try to tally the list of actually innovative companies (let's say in tech or bio) headed by MBAs vs. non-MBAs? The only notable MBA ceo of a massive tech company from history was Steve Ballmer and let's at least agree there's no consensus if he was any good for Microsoft. Tim Cook is arguably good, but that's just 1/5 if we are looking at top 5 tech. Even the "business" CEO of Google, Eric Schmidt, is not an MBA.

I appreciate your sentiment and thank you for the reminder.

It was very difficult for me to avoid getting personal and using ad hominem attacks in this particular case; I tried to temper my gut reaction by using language like "maybe this isn't the community for you" instead of harsher terms.

In reflection, though, it's not my place to judge others like that, or try and police the community. I apologize.
Not to mention cameras.
This is exactly the reason why python is so slow. The everything is an object approach has no real benefit, as the code is still full of special cases. Faster VMs of course special-case int and float. Best at compile-time.

Heck no. I dodged conscription on principle in my homeland, even though the expected risk to my health was far less severe.

If the mythical "civic society" thinks that my taking the risk is important, they should feel free to offer a fair payment in exchange, as they do to soldiers these days.
Yes. I think you could make a case for doing that. I don't think it will happen.

I find it hard to believe that pain isn't a well studied area of medicine. But to answer your question, we already do know how to "modify/intercept nerve signals", they're called painkillers.

This is a question mainly for Lisp programmers but possible to be related to other languages too. Do you use fancy features like electric returns, rainbow parenthesis while coding? What about paredit? Are these additional helper plugins worth it?
Yes, that seems to be the case. Society can tolerate a certain level of antivaxxers without losing herd immunity.

Yeah. Members of the Colombo organized crime family can now sit in the comfort of their own back-rooms and press play. The only difference is the prescense of a demented old consigliere screaming about passenger pidgeons. Times change.

The CSAM numbers are presented awkwardly. The FB numbers suggest FB is way worse, but the FB and Twitter numbers are platform reported rather than externally identified.

FB and Twitter make more reports and publish more transparently. I’d also wager that reports = (all content #)(prevalence rate of CSAM)(detection sensitivity)*(reporting rate) and FB/TWTR probably have infinitely higher first terms, and better 3 and 4th terms in the equation.
Not really. Was in my early 20s around then, but didn't live anywhere around there. My experience with programming/IT work at that time, was that it was very much a "normal" job. It was a good, solid white collar job, paid decently well, but nothing you'd get really rich doing. That didn't change for me until the late 1990s when I got a dot-com gig for a couple of years (of course we remember how that ended up).

>And before you notice unpleasant opinions are removed to (like e.g. the CIA having had similarities to a terrorist organization in the past, factual right but misguiding).

This is a slippery slope, and I'm not sure that it's justified theoretically. It's not as though this is precedent-setting - all platforms have excluded swathes of content for a very long time.
> even if it was true, who cares?

So what did you ban them in the first time?

> The goal of effective policy is to isolate radical elements to a point where they can't target mainstream communities of people who hold malleable beliefs. That is effective prevention.

Let's say I think Google is a threat to individual rights. Are their on their right to prevent people with "malleable beliefs"(how condescending) to listen to that message? Is that what you want? A corporate-controlled Internet and society? If you think they are free to go elsewhere you must know that the natural direction in unfettered capitalism is that the winners accumulate more and more in bigger conglomerates. That is an extremely dangerous game, courting a fascist society, in the original meaning of the term.

I am not a fan of repealing section 230. I think it'sactuallya pretty inspired piece of law for its time.

But it's original purpose was to remove civil liability for platforms for making an imperfect but good faith attempt to remove illegal content.

The farther we move away from the original motivating case, the less clear it is to me that Internet companies need or deserve the protection afforded to them under the auspices of section 230.

Somebody Tell This Guy He Can Just Buy a Cup to Keep Upstairs
there's basically no other options for running your own cloud & there's no particular major weak points for Kubernetes that other containerizing automation engines don't also have.

people think they're being smart by telling you to check whether such and such fits your needs. usually it's not bad advice. but the deck is pretty stacked here. nothing else has shown itself to be as flexible, as extensible, as consistent. well demonstrated but it's capability at handling many different add-ons (controllers, operators). rarely is cloud architecture do readily deployable to other non-core concerns, especially via the core tools & constructs.

if you want to go march off in to tech that does less, that will only do a little bit, that less people will be familiar with, that has less community, sure. spend a couple hours justifying to yourself why you are not going to use the really amazing all encompassing tech that's quickly supplanted everything else. pick some other combination of technologies which you will assemble, make your own stack, yeah, you're an independent thinker, you don't need convention or all this extra stuff! it's just gonna slow you down. go for it.

Kubernetes is not easy. but I find arguing against it to be difficult. there have been tools upon tools upon tools for so long. but little out there has brought the different concerns together, found overarching paradigms to create a basic, trusted quality of life that Kubernetes has clarified. again, it's not easy, but learning it ought to keep paying forward again & again, as you pick up new interests, want new services. even if those are Amazon services, ACK now will let you build Kubernetes deployment units that include those AWS services. the paradigm works.
Actually prior to the threat they stated that they would approve it as fast as possible and were targeting Saturday morning. Trumps bullying sped things up by about 12 hours.
The think this supports the OPs argument that we're refining, not inventing. Everything you've said here is about refining, it's not a completely new way to attach materials together.
