I'm a nonessential worker with no dependents. It would be a slight boon to the receptionist and the Instacart delivery worker, and not much else, if I were to die in my sleep tonight. In the past I would have taken this very seriously. But now I'm feeling something like, "come here and kill me yourself." Selfish? Absolutely. But I don't think this is an entirely terrible development. At some point people have to care about their own well-being.

All workers should be in unions. With few exceptions, workers collaborating forms the basis of their power vs management. Management has money and the ability to wait out vs an individual that needs a job. Only groups of employees can successfully negotiate for major concessions outside of rare circumstances. An older tradition that would be even better is unionization on an industrial/sectoral scale so you don't even need to unionize your current workplace and workers across the industry can enforce demands.

Your politicians do nothing, your bosses do nothing. What do you have to lose? Fight for what you need together.
I was jumping through similar hoops for a while to get Amazon smile donations, but then I looked at their numbers for how much gets donated and it was a pretty trivial amount. I don't remember what I found (anyone have any stats on Amazon smile donation percentages?) but I decided it wasn't worth my effort compared to adding an extra few dollars to my direct donations.

The intention of the patent system was to promote the useful proliferation of the sciences and arts. Billion-dollar verdicts to companies that do not even produce a marketable product are the antithesis of that intention. It is not clear to me how to solve this problem aside from tearing down the patent system and never rebuilding it. Gone are the days when an inventor in their garage is prevented from the exploitation of a large company by virtue of a patent they filed for their invention. Now, holding companies exist to absorb patents that describe the most abstract and nebulous ideas in order to leech the maximal value from real companies, and courts like this enable them.

End the patent system. (I'd be happy if we even just got rid of software patents on the existing basis that math cannot be patented, but while I'm on my soapbox, might as well go all the way.)
Well, i started programming in Pascal (with 1-based indexing) and later switched to C. I remember that after switching to C off-by-one errors magically disappeared.

WHAT IT IS

TaskTrain is a simple process management SaaS application designed for service teams in small and medium businesses. TaskTrain lets you take those unread standard operating procedures off of the company intranet and make them actionable.

WHY I MADE IT

TaskTrain was sparked by my experience running IT service departments:

•I hired smart, dedicated techs.

•We developed standard operating procedures.

•But we still screwed up … way too often …

… because we had a lot of multi-step workflows and the time pressures of users needing things done quickly. So the standard operating procedures too often sat unread on a shelf in the midst of actually carrying out the work. And, because human attention & memory are limited, we would often forget a step. And that avoidable oversight would inevitably come back to bite us. TaskTrain tries to address this problem of avoidable errors and inefficient execution in routine service delivery.

WHAT IT DOES

The idea behind TaskTrain is super-simple:

•TaskTrain lets you define all of your standard operating procedures as multi-level outlines, with each step holding optional embedded training like videos, product manuals, links to relevant resources, and explanatory text.

•You share these with your team via secure Procedure Manuals. Every time the need arises, you assign an instance of the Procedure. A TaskTrain Assignment is like a work order but with all of the tasks identified and just-in-time training resources embedded.

•Each Task in an Assignment can have its own assignee, start and due dates, and comment threads, making it easy to track progress and collaborate with teammates without resorting to e-mail or Slack, increasing coordination efficiency and avoiding missed hand-offs.

WHAT I USED

TaskTrain is written in TypeScript as an Angular Progressive Web Application communicating via (Apollo) GraphQL to a Node.JS server backed by a MongoDB store.

An important thing to ask yourself is "Why are you commenting?" This isn't a dig but a real question. I don't mean to belittle you or the GP. Is it just idle ranting or are you hoping to find a solution?

If the former, my complete sympathies. Carrying around this low-level resentment about an app all while having to use it isn't great.

But if it's the latter, then the solution is obvious. Delete the app and then let the chips fall where they may. I guarantee there is a grumpy 60 year old in your life who just never ditched his Nokia and "it works for him". It's clear that you can't have it both ways.

I make this comment because too often on the internet people will comment on a self-help article, or someone sharing their success story, or a piece of advice with "Yeah, but it doesn't work for me because..."

Well, great? Sorry to hear that? This topic, then, is not for you? Carry on and good luck? It's just too many people expect universal solutions that MUST work EVERYWHERE without exceptions.
As someone who's been using DDG for the past three years, I'd love to nudge more people toward it, but when I think of how often I have to prefix my search with !g to find what I'm looking for, I don't think DDG is quite there yet. The only thing keeping me from going back to Google is that I despise it more than I'm annoyed with DDG.

> Likewise, how far do you extend this logic? I can catch and spread Covid literally any time I go outside.

I don’t know how things are where you live but here (Germany) it’s been severely restricted why (and how) you can do things. There’s actually a defined list of reasons under which you’re allowed to go outside. Now that list is pretty generous and include exercise, shopping, etc. but it exists. Any store that doesn’t serve a basic need is closed and at best can do “Click & Collect”

Likely this weekend things will go further here in Berlin. The airport will be shut down and you won’t be able to go further than 15km outside the city limits. Again there’s a defined list of reasons why you can go, just as en example visiting your spouse is ok. Visiting your parents or adult children is not unless you’re a care giver.

I say this in so many words not to say look at us, we got it so bad. But because what you said is true, _anytime_ you go outside you can catch and spread COVID. That’s why we have restrictions on when you can go outside.

This article really should have elaborated on why jurors didn't need to be told that they were (apparently) awarding damages for infringement of unpatentable claims. Or really why, if the claims weren't patentable, the case wasn't thrown out of court.

Or perhaps the claims were patentable, and the article needed to elaborate on exactly what Apple was trying to describe there.

Either way, this is absolutely worthless coverage.

Ah, I see. Your problem is a fundamental lack of understanding of financial markets. I'd recommend Investopedia as an easy way to get into understanding things.

First of all, in financial markets there is almost never a "fixed number" of buyers for anything, and especially not for something like Bitcoin. If you want to see something with (as good as you can get) to a fixed number of buyers, look at uranium. It's almost entirely used as fuel for nuclear reactors, which take years to build and to be shut down, so not only is the demand very stable, the future demand (for the next few years) can be pretty easily predicted. You'll be surprised to see that yes, sharp price drops can occur, even in such conditions.

Next, of course, the market of sellers for Bitcoin, "HODLR" or not, certainly does not behave how you imagine. Some sellers are forced to exit large Bitcoin positions every day, with reasons ranging from tax liabilities not payable in Bitcoin, businesses that accept Bitcoin that do not wish to maintain a Bitcoin position, divorces, governments that seize Bitcoin, etc etc. Then of course you have people exiting Bitcoin because they're people and life happens: their partner told them Bitcoin was stupid, or their government added rules to holding Bitcoin that scare them, or they read that a shady entity was printing billions of fake dollars to buy Bitcoin, or they bought in years ago and wow, they can buy a car with the profit! or they bought in yesterday and the drop in price spooked them.

None of this is to say anything about the price of Bitcoin or if you should buy Bitcoin - I'm just saying that your _reasons_ are deeply flawed.
Yes, the arguments here are ridiculous.

Everything that IS actually just JS is listed (hooks, actions, reducers), but the only thing that isnt (JSX) is used without a question.

Sometimes React critique just reads like an elaborate trolling attempt.

Agreed. 1-indexing may be more intuitive for humans broadly, and this may have been a good argument before C became ubiquitous, but when it comes to programmers the landscape of what's intuitive is different; 0-indexing is a deeply ingrained habit. Very few norms are so universal across programming languages
Conversely, I wish that the nodejs command line debugger were nicer to use. I can get it working—usually after a lot of crying and wishing I weren't too lazy to try to improve it myself and contribute such improvements—and after I do, it's actually pretty fulfilling to use the clunky, limited capabilities it offers. It could be a lot further ahead, or at least as good as pdb (which isn't precisely the bee's knees, but usually gets the job done), but alas, seems like most developers prefer to use the browser for debugging, so that gets a lot more attention.

Well, I'll keep using it, dragging it along kicking and screaming... until it's deprecated or improved, I guess.

I'm on the opposite side. I think JSX is a horror show.

We've been trying to remove view from logic since the 90s, and move towards declarative views with data binding. Keep your nook and crannies away from the presentation layer.

But all the industry wants is shoving PHP in the browser.

I think it's sad. We're making the UI layer always more complicated.

Let's say your UI changes, like a redesign... you can rewrite your component and probably need to change most of them.

If your UI was just dumb and declarative and the data was salt on top, changing the UI is trivial.

The UI should declare what the UI should look like, not describe how it should do it.

This is why, as an old timer, I much prefer the direction VueJS took.

Edit: great lib though, anything small is a win.
So technically if amazon didn't like signal they could kick them off and the whole network goes to shit.

I disagree. At worst you can let a user switch between a TS / JS code block, but really we don’t want to hunt around your .d.ts files to discover what the docs should tell us.
OP didn't want to use hooks, so I showed an example that doesn't require hooks.

I'm aware some of the React community use hooks, some of us still use classes. Classes provide a better interface when dealing with state that is shared between parent and child. This is a write up much better than I can explain: https://react-redux.js.org/api/hooks#stale-props-and-zombie-...

React is about data flows and managing state transitions with user experience.

I'd be happy to pass you on to anyone that works at a daycare. They don't make much more than minimum wage in many cases. That's how daycare can remain somewhat affordable...economies of scale.

Even your own source of care.com has a "Nanny Share" program that reduces the cost more. Without sharing, full time care (40 hrs a week) for 2 kids in my area is $16 an hour...which is less than 2 bucks more than minimum wage. $17.65 an hour if its 3 kids. Certainly not three times the $14.65 an hour that is for a single kid.
It’s pretty smart to make the things that benefit the weak and hurt the powerful illegal.
Basically everything you’re saying is low-grade bullshit, but I’ll just focus on

> In October 2020, Covid was already the 3rd leading cause of death for 45+

If you don’t understand how the US’s covid mortality reporting policies grossly inflate this number, you’re deriving premises from fundamentally broken data.

In fact, this is the fundamental source of confusion when doing comparisons across countries. If you normalize for reporting standards, things look very different from the picture you’ve painted.

Edit: this dogshit website won’t let me respond further, but I’ll just paste it here:

Arguing the numbers is a losing tactic - at least, it’s a waste of time - when you’re speaking with someone who doesn’t understand that it’s absurd to compare countries where anyone who dies with covid is reported to have died of covid (like most metrics in the US) against countries that have a more sane reporting standard, like Taiwan.
> There are situations where death comes before the threshold of discomfort.

Not for anything we can actually sense. Volume, temperature, pressure - you will feel wildly uncomfortable long before any of these are extreme enough to seriously impact your health.

Is there any example of something we can feel, but we don't feel uncomfortable before it kills us? All I can think of are drugs.
Yes, it's the same with GPUs, mostly made for gaming, but lots of people use them for totally different purposes.
My philosophy is that basic income will be ultimately a good in the long run, even if there are some amount of people who take advantage of it and ultimately do nothing productive for the rest of their lives. Because I don't want people like that in the workforce anyway. I believe only people who are actually motivated to work, and enjoy their jobs or duties should be there. I really do not want some sadsack of a person who hates their job serving me at a restaurant, who will mess with my food if he feels slighted by me. He should go rot away in a small apartment and leave that position for someone who actually cares. Society should gladly pay these people to keep them away. It's sad that someone who is happy to work, must compete with hundreds of people who dont give a shit, for the same job. I hope that basic income would get rid of much of the competition for jobs like this, which would also mean business owners can no longer take advantage of a big labor pool to pay poor wages.
Agreed. Also there are in-between services like Put.IO that provide better UX while handling most of the technical bits: https://put.io/
Pretty sure the pine is arm64 rather than armHF. I know I've installed Pi (hf) packages onto my Pine, but I'm not sure you can actually compile natively on a Pi without it cross compiling -and at that point a desktop is almost certainly faster.

Nearly everyone else on HN is likely to have more understanding than me though, so listen to them as/when they set me straight :)

I have to say though, when it comes to network IO, my original kickstarter pine64 blows the raspberry pi's out of the water (though this might just be due to the network card not being strung off the USB bus).
