>Inertial reference

Can we really do inertial reference with current phone hardware? I would imagine our usecases don't really even give inertial reference a nice playing field.

No, how about you give the instructions in the article?
The difference is that we can easily redistribute wealth. It is much more difficult to redistribute "health."

IMO our goal shouldn't be for everyone to be objectively equal in all ways, but rather to be provided enough resources and opportunities to live a good life.

Like on the opposite end of your example, if I was born with a congenital condition, or became injured, I should still be able to live a good life with my needs met and opportunities to do good work. The fact that we don't have that today, due to lack of a social safety net and accessibility, is a problem.
When people complain about CSS they seem to forget that HTML and CSS started as basically an Word-alternative, or actually more like an RTF-format for the web. Doing anything other than that is simply misuse, and all features we slap on to CSS3 and HTML5 does not change this. That's the reason you can not center a div without "hacks".

It's like those creative kids building super Mario-clones in Excel, It's certainly possible but it's still madness. But I guess those kids don't complain about Excel being a lousy game engine...

Too bad, maps.me was by far the best maps application for non city use, and ideal for hiking. Commendable initiative to bring it back in its original version!

A few examples of why it was so great:

Simple, non social bookmarks. As in: place a bookmark so you don't get lost while hiking, or when you find a nice spot you want to come back to later. Yep, a utility feature that doesn't somehow map to some stoopid business OKR in advertising. I am sure this is possible with Google maps or Apple maps somehow, but only after you've created an account, logged in, and made sure you have the equivalent of a South Korean inner city internet connection.

Also, easily downloadable maps that just stay on your phone. I am hiking, I don't have internet and need the map on my phone.
I know Google Maps allows you to do that but it is tedious unlike maps.me, which is instant.
It's not XML though, it's HTML. HTML with additional nodes for layout, class names, etc.

If you're not invalidating the cached code multiple times per day (which, in fairness, a lot of the stuff from Google, Facebook, etc probably are), an SPA should use less data over time than a comparable server rendered app. The initial outlay is bigger, but once it's cached you only need the raw data as you navigate around.
There can be a sizable gap between complying with regulations to ensure X and trying to do X.

lock picking lawyer had a great video on that topic recently https://youtu.be/DykUXXcJGIw

Writing regulations is hard to achieve the intended effect. Complying with regulators frequently involves a mindset of checking boxes instead of trying to accomplish something.

If, however, an investment bank essentially buys a large chunk of your company, if only temporarily, they have a real motivation to figure out if it is legitimate, and there are real consequences if you screw up, not just legislated consequences but real financial bag holding ones.

You have to think of the everything-is-a-game mindset to help you evaluate situations. The game of being a regulator is different than the game of being an investor. There is value in both.
Okay I just went and took a look...

Indeed it doesn't show the same options. This is what I saw when I went to Startup Security Utility:

(*) Full Security:
Ensures that only your current OS, or signed operating system software currently trusted by Apple, can run. This mode requires a network connection at software installation time.

( ) Reduced Security:
Allows any version of signed operating system software ever trusted by Apple to run.
[ ] Allow user management of kernel extensions from identified developers
[ ] Allow remote management of kernel extensions and automatic software updates

There's no option to turn on or off a firmware password, instead I had to login with a local administrator account first before I could access anything under recovery options.

There doesn't appear to be a way to set "No Security" as an option either. At least from the GUI. Maybe it's possible from Terminal somewhere. But it seems unlikely or undocumented for now.

Edit: Here's the Apple documentation on this: https://support.apple.com/en-us/guide/mac-help/mchl768f7291/...

As with everything, do it within reason. If you can't afford to buy lunch/dinner daily, obviously don't do it. But I think the point that the parent was trying to make was that if you don't feel like cooking one day, it's totally OK to go out for food.

During my holiday this month, I've made it a point to go for a nice lunch every few days. Yes, it costs me money, money that I could save for my future (although I don't know what I would do with the extra money), but it's enjoyable, relaxing and the food is great.

I run the largest web hosting review site by number of reviews... and I will say anything saying these are the top 10 are full of shit.

The premise alone is problematic, I help people find hosting every day, everyone's needs to tend to vary.

Top 10 for developers working in WordPress? Top 10 for non technical small business owners who simply need a 1 page information page and are only comfortable using a WYSIWYG? Top 10 for data science companies requiring GPUs to do calculations 24/7?

It's hard to make recommendations and top lists in the web hosting space tend to be organized simply by affiliate payout. Even my own site (reviewsignal.com) I publish meta-data based on what people think of companies, but if someone asks for recommendations the questions I ask change the outcome. Because different hosting products fit different use cases.

I'm not a fan of CSS. I learned it well enough to build a decent UI toolkit (draggable modals, collapsible, etc.)

I hate how CSS tries to mix layout and style. A million articles about not using tables for layout, and it took 20+ years to get a grid. I tried to do some fancy text and element alignment with CSS, and it was not having it (and, yes, I know about display: table). In the end I reverted to a table. It worked, and I moved on with life.

It is ridiculously hard to draw things in absolute positions. In many cases, it is easier to do a tiny bit of math and compute the positions of objects, rather than have to define parent/child relationships. But for true absolute positioning, you have to throw divs into a "portal" of some sort, and move that object into the root element. This makes doing things like pretty drag and drop extremely painful.

Browsers are buggy as hell, and often something works on everything but [insert your most hated browser]. That's a hint that the spec is too complicated.

I agree with your assessment, in that if you try to construct the world from scratch, you'll be "fighting the beast the whole way." I disagree that this is positive quality of the thing.
By this argument houses would also count as alive because they “reproduce” via humans building more houses.

Even for city use it was great. I've used it plenty of times when traveling to new places, because quite often I wouldn't know if I would be able to get data on my phone. So it was great being able to download maps up front.
I have helped backport RocksDB Java API changes for Kafka in the past. The main issue in the integration seems to be organisational rather than technical. Kafka has a more conservative release approach, whereas RocksDB has lots of releases and the API changes frequently.

How to land a developer job in Berlin
I'm a little confused as to how come you don't run a GUA /128 to each container (out of a per-customer GUA /64 say). If this is from an address range you own, you can filter and drop packets at ingress/egress from the customer address space in case somehow traffic is misproperly routed (not via the WG tunnel). As new containers go on and offline, you can distribute this state through the system, and if a user reaches out to an IP that you don't know whether or not it's assigned, you can consult an oracle as to the location.
Thanks for the comment. My piece contains half a dozen specific examples of exactly the thing that you claim it misses, and most of the second-half explains why the things you think are okay are in fact complicated and subject to lawsuits.

That is just false. ARD alone has a budget of 6.3 billion € and is therefore on its own bigger (budgetwise) than the BBC, which has a budget of 5.3 billion €.
The thing is the film is nuanced and well crafted, and also has engaging performances from an ensemble cast. It did do a superlative work in adaptating Lecarre's vision, so I don't think it compares unfavorably with the TV series.

Bizarre. In Australia I can literally call up a new ISP and get switched over in minutes, and it automatically terminates my old ISP (and many will refund the remaining monthly charge)
With “display: table”, “margin-left” and “margin-right” horizontally center the content. For example:

<style>
.foo {
display: table;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto; }
</style>
<div class=foo>
<h1>Hello, world!</h1>
</div>

Here, it is only centered when “display: table” is present. e.g. this is not centered:

<style>
.foo {
/* display: table; DISABLED */
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto; }
</style>
<div class=foo>
<h1>Hello, world!</h1>
</div>

Simple “display: table” two-column layout:

<style>
.all {
display: table;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
.sub {
display: table-row;
}
.left {
display: table-cell;
}
.right {
display: table-cell;
}
</style>
<div class=all>
<div class=sub>
<div class=left>
<h1>Hello, world!</h1>
Left side.
</div>
<div class=right>
<h1>Right bar</h1>
Right side.
</div>
</div>
</div>

There are ways to vertically center content, but since that wasn’t something CSS was designed to do (for the kinds of things where something vertically centered makes sense, we were supposed to be making web apps in Java), they are all clunky.

while I like the idea expressed by the quote, I don't like the overall judgemental sentiment that "if you don't mold the world around you, you live a poor version of life".

Telegram's server costs are massive. They store all messages, unlike whatsapp and signal, which only act as a relay.

Telegram has much higher file limits (2GB per file and unlimited files) than all other apps. It's used a lot by pirates to share movies and shows. Basically every show comes on some channel/group in Telegram.

What VCS does a significantly better job on branch merges? All the other ones that I've experienced were horrifying. Merging subversion branches was a nightmare compared to git. Perforce was better than subversion but still pretty bad compared to git.

I've also reverted merges many times in git with no issue. You just choose which parent you're reverting to and then it just works.

The only time I've seen branch merges in git really fuck up is one time when a novice git user at my company unstaged a file from the index before committing the merge. That was a disaster and took me hours to figure out what the hell was going on with that file.

> Meh. I've think Option is just null with extra steps.

It is when you don't use it right. Although, you have the benefit of being explicit about it. Still, you're supposed to make your Option/Maybe type a monad and functor, so you can easily chain Option/Maybe-returning functions and transformations while hiding all the boilerplate null checks.
I really like CSS and find it relatively straightforward.

Now, I think what helps me is that I've had 20 years to learn it as changes appeared.

If I had to learn it all in one go now, how confused would I be? Very? Lots?

It could be that a good way to learn CSS would be to try and replicate that experience and learn the history of it, not just the current state.

Doesn't have to be international. It's enough if it's in the language you know. Can even be in the same country.

My little moment of enlightenment here came when I realized that I really can attend that event I was really interested in that's happening on the other side of the country. All I need is to travel. Oh, other side of the country is far and travel time will take as much as the two-day event itself? I can always fly there. Domestic air travel is a thing, and isn't that expensive (which may be obvious for people in the US; it's less obvious in Europe).

I ultimately ended up not going to that event for personal reasons, but planning it made me re-evaluate the possibilities I have, and how many of them appear once I reframe the question as "how much money am I willing to spend to get there?".
Intercepting clicks on all anchors and then replacing the body is something the browser should do and not the javascript library.
Apple does like to hide things very well, I remember a long time ago (but after they had switched to x86, and all the news about Hackintoshing had me believe they were just branded PCs) I was asked to do some basic troubleshooting on a Macbook and spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out the key to enter the BIOS setup utility, only to find out later that there was none.

Meanwhile, my no-name Chinese mobo exclaims "Press F10 for BOOT MENU!!" (the uppercase and exclamation marks are verbatim) on its BIOS post screen, and nearly all the other PCs I've used have similar if less exciting messages. But with Apple, all you get is an Apple logo, and if you need to do anything other than normal boot, you had better have looked it up because it won't tell you.

Ask HN: At what point selling equity of startup becomes personal money?
Often company needs to sell portion of their equity to another VC investor to get money so it could scale. For instance startup A sells 10% of the equity for $100K. And then it uses that money to continue scaling and operation. So, that money has not left the company, (not sure is it taxed) but only way to get it personally would be through salary and dividends (for which investor would complain as badly invested money). And, this part is ok.

After few months same VC decides to buy out the rest 90% for $500K, startup founder agrees and sells the company.
Now at this point, does those $500K go to the founder pocket or the company? Does founder pays personal or corporate tax on that money?
What is the difference between that one and the first case?

What if founder sells 5 more times 10%, until company is not his anymore?
As founder is not majority owner can he ever sell the rest to personally gain anything, as majority owners can decide to infinitely dilute and sell shares?

I would really appreciate if someone can explain this.

Somewhat I am confused with edge cases, for instance if investor asked to buy out 80% more for $450K, so founder is left with 10%, and then founder can be left with $50K of personal money with last sale.
Where is an error in my thinking?
