The larger problem is that you cannot (AFAICT) edit the markup directly in Confluence or JIRA. I believe this used to be possible, but has been removed in the cloud version, and will die with the server version.

The markup you write gets turned into in-editor "objects" (for lack of a better term) as you type it out. This makes editing an incredibly painful experience. I am occasionally asked to document something on Confluence for a client and every time I feel like I am fighting a battle just to make a basic document.

For example, I strongly dislike their implementation of ordered list editing. They have tried to make the ordered list editing mode "smart", but it mostly just gets in the way, and is harder than writing it out manually. Additionally, you cannot embed other "objects" in an ordered list. If you attempt to insert a file object, or something similar, it splits your ordered list into two, with the second list starting its ordering at the beginning. This would seem to defeat the purpose of having a rich editor with embeddable objects, since I cannot use them if I am making an ordered list, such as set of "how to" steps.

I usually give up an hour in and switch to writing in my text editor instead, but even then Confluence will mangle my input in surprising ways when I paste it in. Rule #1 of making an editor in my book is that it has to be, at a minimum, as easy and useful as a basic text editor. Microsoft Word and LibreOffice, in spite of their faults, are quite good at this. I would guess most software shops could not implement a WYSIWYG editor at that level of polish, and they would be better off just providing editable markup.
What is lying? You are overcomplicating things.

Insinuating that Obama was born in Kenya was a lie. It's nowhere as hard as you are making it out to be.

That a politician can launch a national campaign on such a lie is proof of the disfunction of our system.
No, because the EU's refugee deal with Turkey is paramount.

Without it there are more refugees in Germany (and other "core" EU countries), and the tense political atmosphere tips over.

> In other words, it doesn't matter that he experienced the travel as five minutes. What matters is that his options were limited for five days.

> Near light travel time dilation is essentially life extension relative to planetary populations. So any interest paid to the traveler should be calculated at the fraction of time experienced, so 5 minutes to 5 days would be 1 / 1440.

Why should either the lender's clock or the borrower's clock be considered more valid for the purpose of calculating interest? Why is one privileged over the other?
My son was just born and we are already looking at alternatives to the public education system. Guys I work with that have school age children are constantly at odds with teachers and school administrators. Of course the kids hate it as well.
Yeah, a similar nightmare prompted a lot of this reasearch. A colleague would argue for what felt like hours against SQS because it was “random” ordering, and kept demanding we use something that had strict FIFO. Despite the clients who placed the jobs not being affected by or caring about execution order. The worst part was that we had paid a shit ton of money for many globally distributed executors to increase throughout - I simply didn’t have the vocabulary to explain how asking for strict FIFO would mean only one executor would be running at a time, wasting hundreds of thousands of dollars.
They've also mentioned cmd-F7, though, and that is the same key you are referring to. It strikes me as odd that they would call it splat and then cmd in succession, if that is what happened.
Hyko's comment suggests the opposite. Would be interesting to see at least one of you cite some data.
I agree, but it will never change.

Jira is middle-management-ware, a term I made up (I think) for software that serves the needs of middle management, or, at least, the needs middle management thinks it has, which comes to the same thing as long as you're selling to them.

What are those needs? Metrics. Being able to see who's doing what, and how quickly, and what still needs to get done. Being able to make charts and graphs and summarized reports for the next-higher level of management, so they can say that their team is productive and their team isn't falling behind.

It also serves the needs of the companies, like Adaptavist, which have attached themselves to Jira to sell add-ons and generally bring the state of the software up to where middle managers (in my experience) think it ought to be out of the box.

I could imply that this is deliberate, that Atlassian is Not Adding some features to scratch the backs of those other companies, but That Would Be Wrong, I'm sure.
The thing that puzzles me is why is the goal to stop the robocaller, and punish them, and not the punish the company that hires them? Okay, we can't find the scammer easily, but they're advertising a service, and we CAN find that service company!

If the car warranty company that keeps calling me is in the US, aren't they liable for contracting for an illegal service? If they're out of the US, can't we impose some block on all payments from the US to them?

Why is “get more women into STEM” a worthy goal in and of itself?
That article addresses how to do a "scrubbable" infinite scroll for their timeline view.

Rendering correctly-scaled images is a different issue: Google Photos renders the image to the precise viewport dimensions (which is why it takes sometimes a couple seconds to render).

When I designed PhotoStructure, I knew I wanted everything to show instantly, so resizing is done to several common viewport sizes at import time (and these sizes are customizable). When you're browsing your library, your browser fetches the smallest variant that will still show with high quality based on native display resolution.
Lol, a buddy jokingly suggested that. But joking aside, if we took sex and race off documents, job apps, college apps, etc. it would really help.
I’m living in Turkey and it’s really ironic that I can’t even access this article. That is the extent of these censorships.
You're better off not reading the news.

Obviously I've taken up reading the news again, kinda like cigarettes, but I plan to quit again, kinda like cigarettes. But those months when I wasn't reading the news? What a contented time. Never felt like I needed to buy a gun, or run for office, or any other unhealthy thoughts related to the state of the world the media wanted me to perceive.

There usually is, though it's arbitrary — basically an implementation detail of the emulator which was tuned based on in-practice behavior observation. Input-event messages that haven't been integrated into the canonical state after a "long time" must be dropped/undone by those who did integrate them, including by the player who originally generated them. In effect, an implicit "anti-event" is generated saying the opposite of the original input-event message, and applied to history by all players who applied the original message.

How do players tell if their event managed to become part of the consensus state? Depends on the networking protocol. In a gossip protocol, messages get sent to peers individually, and ACKed by those peers. In an elected-leader client-server protocol, as long as the server peer ACKs the message as "in the queue", it's canonical. In an IRC-like spanning-tree message-relay system†... something complicated involving vector clocks containing message IDs.

† I don't think I've ever seen an emulator choose a hierarchical message-relay architecture. It makes good robustness+efficiency trade-offs, but it's just far too complex to work with compared to the alternatives. It's more the domain of MMOs, that need to be concerned with many nodes colocated in one site speaking to many nodes colocated at other sites.

Couldn't disagree more. Humanity has developed a society with acceptable norms to make life more enjoyable for everybody. One of the important things school does is socialize kids.

If a stranger breaks into your home and kills your kid, the natural response for a lot of people is to kill the person that did it. There are a lot of reasons why we _don't_ allow that in civilized countries. People have to be socialized to reject that natural behavior.

More to school children, they as adults will not be successful if they frequently act impulsively. Adulthood in society is finding a fulfilling career, maintaining healthy relationships, paying your bills on time, and setting fulfilling long term goals for yourself. None of those things are helped by impulsive behavior.

I don't see how supporting push notifications for native apps is any different than PWAs. The user would still have to explicitly enable them for the installed PWA, and could revoke it at anytime. Safari for desktop actually supports push notifications [0]. So why not mobile Safari? Even the their aggressive deletion of local storage could be handled with a permission request. Once you've installed the PWA it could ask the user to store data for longer. Basically what I'm getting at is that Apple already has a robust permissions system that could easily be extended to support PWAs and the necessary features, but they seem to choose not to do so.

Women in general tend to be more compliant, which becomes an issue later in life when standing up for oneself in the workplace (e.g. getting promotions and pay raises), but it's an advantage in the classroom. Men need to be shown the value of something before they will learn it. This can be a problem as a lot of school lessons have no immediate practical value.

Ask HN: How to develop accurate self-understanding?
A question prompted by end-of-year reflection. Perhaps HN can solve the eternal question!

How does a person accurately assess their strengths, weaknesses, good habits, bad habits etc. when they only have their own subjective experience of these things?

Explicit feedback can be useful, especially in a professional setting, but relies on good communication and for the person receiving feedback to appreciate (in both senses of the word) what is being said. I'm sure we all have examples of advice we didn't fully understand until we were older (and had made the mistakes we were warned about).

In the past I have found meditation useful, but it is obviously subjective too. Personally, I have found it too easy to slip from self-inquiry to disproportionate self-criticism, though perhaps that is a stage on the journey.
NPR is basically a state propaganda outfit that pretends to be a “neutral” and objective source, although its organization and methods are very different from those of the Q entity. Both sources have many die-hard followers who utterly fail to question their output, or understand their conflicts of interest.

It is a simple and consistent argument, even if you don’t want to believe it, and even if you are right to dislike the spice.

A little gross, yes, but definitely not insipid. And yes, we assume that there's some solution (or that it's not a problem) somehow, but it's reasonable to be curious what the solution is.

Girls are more well-organised, and diligent, better at planning etc. Don't know why this would be a surprise to anyone. Apologies in advance for not beating around the bush.
At my company (FAANG), 2/3 of intern and entry level opportunities are given to women. Ironically virtually all of them come from the same few elite universities and were hardly held back by anyone, as far as I can tell.

Some of them play this game very aggressively. Once they are there, immediately organize into diversity projects and groups to push for quotas in promotions, project leads, etc. Despite these fast-track opportunities, they fully believe they are continuously being held back, at every level, and everything will be interpreted that way.

I think it will eventually break the org but I don't plan on staying.
For some additional, solid Roguelites, I present:

Risk of Rain 2

Gunfire Reborn

Both games last about an hour - Risk of Rain games can last a lot longer.

Items are unlockable and appear in later runs. Both 3d. RoR2 is 1.0, Gunfire Reborn is EA, but feels complete enough for 50+ hours, to me; but, I like the genre.
That's surprising given the amount of data we got on the possible side-effects, especially the long-term ones

Thought it was already implicit in the capacity decoupling, could you elaborate a bit more / add an example. I’ve always thought back pressure isn’t applicable to queues because there’s no pressure to begin with, front or otherwise.
This is not a cause, but a consequence.

Attitudes and norms around how school have changed a lot, and the modern school severely penalizes boys.

For instance it was typical for schools to encourage competition between students, but this is very frown upon in most places nowadays. For a lot of boys, the drive to compete is pretty much the only positive thing keeping them focused on schoolwork.

Another typical trend has been to reduce and to almost eliminate the amount of multiple choice testing and to change it to written questions. There’s evidence enough to claim that this significantly penalizes boys (specially in the 10 to 14 age range) due to developmental reasons.

The difference in ADHD diagnosis is easy to explain. As we’ve moved our expectations of kid behavior from what “the typical boy does” to “what the typical girl does”, a lot of perfectly normal boy behavior is reinterpreted as ADHD.
After spending the last year reading about constant warmongering and provocations against my country, with military units on combat alert even on holidays, I only have to say democracy should be reinstated in Turkey and I hope the circumstances can not detriment the friendship and common heritage of Turkish and Greek people.

You can almost set this up as a syllogism:

* People who think they are responsible for their own success are less likely to support redistribution of wealth

* People who are wealthy are more likely to think they are responsible for their own success.

* Wealthy families are more likely to feed their children well

* Well-fed children are likely to taller than poorer-fed children

* Wealthy families are more likely to produce children who are wealthy themselves when they grow up

Therefore, tall people are less likely to be supportive of redistribution of wealth
But why write it in python in the first place?
I 100% disagree. Fixing a bug or delivering a feature where you haven't documented the process, (how the criteria were decided, when it was tested and deployed) is as good a running a web site nobody visits. JIRA hate comes from the bottom up. Developers don't like having to have their work parceled out so specifically. But it's not for them. It's for managers and stakeholders who have to report progress and who are responsible for budgets. If devs aren't working on priority items, are off target to timelines, are not following QA process or not following agreed specs then the company could be losing money. And developers are expensive as hell.

And I've also never worked anywhere that had a better option than JIRA.
At some points, a company (any company) has to assume a legal system. When the legal system does not work well - be it, because the laws require censorship, or be it because not everyone can effectively fight for their rights in the courts - this will lead to problems and injustice.

It seems, Turkey is not the only place where it's tough to get copyright claims sorted out in court, but the claim is that the (assumed) legal means are leveraged for going after political opponents.

The EU will have to understand that freedom of speech and the legal framework of copyright claims can be at odds and can be abused in this way. This isn't going to be easy, but leaving it to private companies to come up with something will likely not produce the desired outcome as they will all eventually go the path of least resistance and profitability (it's in general not a private company's job to defend values and reform the legal situation).
Perhaps you could open a pull request to fix this.

The railway error-handling paradigm is superior (in my mind) to the common try/catch/throw pattern in many other languages. It promotes errors to first class citizens. It's a monadic pattern that many functional programmers like to employ.
A big issue is that boys read less than girls overall.

https://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2018/09/why-gi...

Boys read for pleasure much less and apparently don't read as well as girls when they do: they use less challenging books and skip/skim more. In general somehow reading has seemed to grow more gendered over time; if you go into the average chain bookstore its apparent that its heavily targeted towards women, and something like Amazon's free Prime reads are often almost entirely women-targeted genre selections.

Young adult books for example are targeted almost entirely towards teen girls now, and even manga or comic books seem focused on the female market in increasing amounts.

Jon Scieszka, a kids author, noticed this over fifteen years ago and started guys read, a website trying to encourage boys to do so and raise awareness about it. But it seems to have stalled, and I don't hear a lot of talk about the feminization of reading.

I really think that this is a major part of why boys fall behind. Reading in general is the basis of learning, and boys over time have moved away. There's always been cultural resistance against "book-larning" but its weird how gendered reading itself has become lately.
It's telling that only an outgoing US administration decided to -weakly- sanction Turkey over the Russian missile fiasco.

The European Union looks more and more like a banking cartel than a federation of nation states. Germany and Spain, that vehemently opposed sanctions in the last eurogroup, are doing good business selling weapons to Turkey. Weapons, that are then used by Turkey to openly threaten Greece and Cyprus. There was a slight concession in 2019, with a temporary stop on new contracts being awarded, but that obviously did not affect existing ones.
