At least some it has aspects in common with other collective action problems. (See many of the current discussions around remote work.) There's a perception, somewhat warranted, that if they can't persuade other people to adopt their preferences, it's going to be harder for they themselves to live in a world where teams are colocated, cities ban cars, there's more mixed use zoning, or whatever. And the arguments perhaps work better if they're framed in terms of productivity, environmental impact, etc. as opposed to "I like it this way better."
Still number one thus. It is the most stable and rich part of web dev. I could never understand why people cripple CSS with SCSS and BEM. Don't you think CSS is underestimated?

You can't truncate a sequence of Unicode codepoints without the risk of producing a broken string, either. What do you get if you truncate "Åström" after the first "o"? What do you get if you truncate 🇨🇦 after the first codepoint?

Normalization is not a real solution unless you restrict yourself to working with well-edited formal prose in common Western languages.

This is not a claim made from ignorance.

Thanks! That newsletter does have articles geared toward candidates as well, though a lot fewer.

The topic of what to ask at the end is one I floated around, but I didn't find it to be a priority. In an ideal world, the questions at the end wouldn't be part of the evaluation anyway, so it should be a time for you to ask whatever you want. Unfortunately, I'm sure interviewers do judge based on those questions, so if anyone has insight into what "good" questions are, I'd love to know.
The article, whomever wrote it, is published on their web site and thus carries their name and it's reputation.

The article is garbage and therefore tarnishes the journal's reputation even if it isn't published in the journal itself.

As The Guardian always have an addiction for pushing a narrative. In the real world, population is still growing by 80 million per year and the plateau is calculated at 20 billion.

The fact is that the poorer a country is, the more likely is for families to have more kids to raise their chances in life. Population in western world is certainly declining and relying on immigration to keep numbers sustainable.

[I replied to the wrong comment, so I copy my earlier answer here, at its right place, sorry.]

I assumed they were just continuing a trend. But I looked at the US 1980 census and was surprised to find that the number of persons per household almost didn't change. 2.67 then vs 2.62 now.

Meanwhile in France, it dropped from 2.75 to 2.2, so I thought it was the same in the USA, hence my hypothesis. But it appears it isn't.
With the party trick version of this (eating lemons or limes straight), I was always concerned about the acidity on my teeth. Is that not a concern here because you just don't use as much acid?
I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed!
I think a lot of people expect the rise in working from home to fix this problem but it’s more than that. Rural areas need access to affordable broadband internet, and more industries need to embrace remote work. I think an overall decline in population is good but the remaining population needs to be properly dispersed to see any real benefit from it. And that’s going to require intentional support and intervention from government.
If your dividing line is "who venerates history?" Then there are no differences between the lefties and the righties. It's just my observation, but the issues lefties and righties have with each other spring mainly from which aspects of history they venerate?

Do you beleive the most important thing about the Civil War is the Confederacy and their right to self determination even on matters of slavery? Or do you think the most important thing about the Civil War is the defeat of said Confederacy and the abolition of slavery in every land under our dominion, no matter the determination level of its people?

"Both may be, but one must be, wrong."

Is the Trail of Tears important? Or is the defeat of the Nazis important? If it's the defeat of the Nazis, do we tolerate the people hoisting Nazi flags? Lefties and righties differ on these issues.

Believe it or not, we have a mechanism to handle all these contradictions. The US Constitution. Which brings us to the second major issue that lefties and righties make in society.

Their selective interpretation of the Constitution. Again, I have to respectfully disagree with your assessment that these people respect the Constitution. Neither lefties, nor righties, really respect the US Constitution. If they did, we wouldn't have people frothing at the mouth at the sight of the nazis/confederates/whatever-they-ares with their flags. Nor would Colin Kaepernick and other black athletes have people frothing at the mouth when they kneel. Nor would "stop and frisk" have ever even been conceived. Nor would privacy violations be done by the state at such scale in the name of security. Nor would minorities be discriminated against. Etc etc etc and on and on and on.

The issue with lefties and righties is precisely that they don't believe in the Constitutional rights of whatever group it is they don't like. That, more than anything, is what has caused all of the problems in our society lately.

Politics and political people have simply changed considerably over the years. Very little is what it was like 50 years ago. But again, as long as these people represent the beliefs of their supporters, what can you do? That's how it's supposed to work.
I remember thinking that Alpha might eventually topple x86. At the time, there was no x86-64, and Linux was still buggy, so the RISC platforms were thriving...and Alpha was at the top. Then Microsoft made NT run on Alpha. All in the early to mid 90's. Then the 1-2 combination of the Itanium distraction followed by the Opteron + 64 bit Linux, and then Alpha died.

'Neoliberal' has embedded assumptions about the ordering of society and role of the state on both domestic and international stages that many antiracist rightists would vociferously oppose (whatever Palladium Mag's smoking, or the boogaloo libertarians, for example - though they often pretend to exist outside of the left/right dichotomy).

As easy as it is to reduce 'the right' into the buckets of proto-fascism, and the Clinton-era uni-party consensus - it makes the category of little use as anything other than an ad-hominem.

The right is, and so far as I can tell, has always been defined in opposition to the politics of the political left, which having a coherent intellectual lineage, and a cohesive network of political philosophers, has been free to define itself. As a result, the right-wing tends to be a hodge-podge of largely unaffiliated political factions whose antipathy to one-another is only constrained by their unified foe.
I have Opinions about Rails or Rails-like frameworks on FaaS.

Before cookie banners were required, do you think the average user would have any idea how many sites were tracking them? I don't think they did. It's beneficial if only to increase public awareness, because tracking is otherwise invisible.

Heck, I'm a reasonably technical user, and I wouldn't have noticed in most cases. Again, invisible. Now I have a negative first impression of a site if it annoys me with cookie banners, and a more positive one if not.
Is it just me, or is this a counter to the HN article earlier that "Japan isn't homogeneous"?

I find this to be a rather interesting thing myself.

The Japanese logic of forcing the students without black hair to dye it black is that it would be unfair to not do so, as they would otherwise have a choice that other students would not, as they can obviously not be allowed to not dye it black.

In many other countries, one is allowed one's natural hair color, but not dye it at all.

In some others, one is allowed to only dye it into naturally occurring colors; one might argue that for Japan anything other than black veers close to this philosophy since 99% of Japan has black hair.

In yet other countries, schools are not allowed by law to prohibit students from dying their hair in whatever color they might want. — I live in such a country so naturally from my perspective the obsession with hair color seems quaint.

But one is I suppose to appreciate that in Japan at one point only street thugs would dye their hair blond so it became a certain dog whistle. It is not too dissimilar from many North-West European schools in the early 2000s banning any and all clothing of the brand Londsdale, until some courts overruled that, as the brand became a dog whistle for Nazis, as when carefully covered the lettering leads “NDSA” which is one letter short of “NDSAP”.
Almost all of this could be handled with a keyword replacing text macro. To me, that says nothing about the design of CSS, rather than nitpicking minor implementation details.

My biggest gripe with the design of CSS is the lack of rules nesting. Having to repeat a selector slug to make a rule for children of something I've already defined gets very verbose.

I also find the whole situation with animations nigh inscrutable, but that could be my lack of experience with them. All I know is that it's nearly impossible to guess at the right values for animation rules, even with intellisense hints.

Yeah I should have added my reasons. My main reason is Nvidia’s stewardship of ARM, I think, would harm the whole ecosystem just look at Nvidia’s attitude towards open source drivers for Linux and the BSDs. Sure it’s basically a slippery slope argument but I think others have voiced similar concerns.

Now this is what I call a tone deaf question! You shouldn’t be asking if a minority or person of color would perform the job any better? The real question is whether there are competent workers who are not white? And if your workforce is entirely white, you should be asking if you’re mixing up competence with familiarity. People usually trust what is familiar.

I specifically did not want to describe my specific crisis because I didn't want to distract from the conversation of my solution to the sleep-impacting aspect of the stress.

We are also dealing with the source of my/our stress, and it should be resolved one way or another in the next few months. It's a 24x7 crisis for us that's complex and we're all working on it. This isn't routine work stress.

My above comment is strictly about this one technique that I stumbled upon.
There is a contradiction in what you’re saying here. Everyone is entitled to their opinion unless it is a critical opinion.

The comment gives sound reasons for not liking the poem, it does not resort to the kind of cheap shots you describe. (Which by the way don’t really qualify as criticism)

Without critical perspective there would be no such thing as great art. We need more critical thinking, not less.
The only people downvoting you are people who haven't spent any time there. I was there for over a year, and most Americans can't pick up on the racism initially because its subtle, but like every Oz behind a curtain, once you slow down and pay attention, its glaringly obvious.

There are entirely too many idiots - and I don't care what anyone here says, they are idiots - who think only Americans can be racist.
> would you say that your experience as a Frenchman is the same regardless of the colour of your skin?

You are committing the American mistake of thinking that people sharing a skin colour also share a culture. There will be a tremendous amount of cultural difference between a black Senegalese who is a first generation immigrant and someone from the Reunion whose great grand parents were already all French citizens.

You don't need to collect ethnicity based statistics and start treating people differently based on the color of their skin to fight racism.

The issue is with the food itself, not the product. No, I don't recommend eating an entire lemon everyday, but making a lemonade without sugar should be fine. If you're worried, just brush your teeth afterwards.

The key is I'm not marketing this as a party trick. You already eat yogurt, coffee, fruit, chocolate without having to worry about the acid so there are no sudden differences here for your teeth. If anything, think about what removing sugar from your diet could do to your dental health.
I once mistakenly overwrote an entire disk (or wrong partition, I don't remember) when trying to install a GNU/Linux distribution to one partition using a graphical installer. Never happened using dd. Sure some graphical applications can be helpful in this regard, but there's really no reason to assume the one you end up using will have you avoid this type of mistake. I'd rather use something that is stable and be vigilant as steadily required.
Cookie banners aren't required per-se, and when the website wishes to do tracking that would require consent under the GDPR, the regulation mandates that the consent prompt should be clear, opt-in (aka pre-ticked checkboxes aren't allowed) and that accepting should be as easy as declining (so if opting in takes one click, so should opt-out).

The problem is that the GDPR is not being enforced seriously so these breaches of the regulation aren't being cleaned up. I'm not sure if it's malice or outright stupidity and the companies legitimately believe they are compliant (there is tons of bad and incorrect advice out there).

If you want things to change and you're in Europe, you should start by questioning the incompetence of your local data protection agency as they are the ones that have the power to investigate breaches & impose fines. In the UK, the Open Rights Group is raising money to sue our data protection agency for its incompetence/unwillingness to enforce the regulation, so maybe it's worth checking out: https://action.openrightsgroup.org/help-us-protect-your-data...

So you're saying you can't get on equally well with people outside your demographic? You wouldn't even give them a chance based on not being part of your demographics?

There's also a difference between how you pick your friends and how you hire employees. You were advocating that hiring homogeneously is beneficial. In and off itself, that's discriminatory.

And still you refuse to commit to what is the extents of "homogeneous". Is it ethnicity? Language? Gender? Sexuality? Nationality?

Your post also suggested that heterogeneous work forces , even if you qualify it as applying only to startups, work at an interior level to homogeneous ones. Again, that's implying that different demographics can't work well together. But clearly that can't apply across the board. Or women and men could never work together. So what's the extents of your statement?

Racism has no basis in scripture.

Scripture definitely teaches a traditional view of marriage and gender roles. You might consider that “repulsive” but I think there’s a lot of room for debate on that. Less than half of Americans believe that “changing gender roles have made it easier for women to live more satisfying lives.” https://www.pewsocialtrends.org/2017/10/18/wide-partisan-gap.... That includes less than 60% of Democrats.

Scripture also teaches the centrality of procreation to marriage and society. I happen to agree with the Obergefell approach, which relied on relatively recent research (based on the 2010 census) showing the astounding number of same-sex couples raising children together. I think it’s no surprise that views on same-sex relationships have shifted quickly as people came to understand that it’s compatible with traditional understandings of marriage’s societal function. (That research, by the way, was not available 5 decades ago. The scientific research on homosexuality being an immutable characteristic really got going in the 1990s, and became widely acknowledge among the public only around 2010.)

I will point out that the western world is almost entirely dependent on immigrants from societies that have traditional religious views on these issues for their population stability. Western social liberalism has many positive attributes, but it hasn’t proven to be self-perpetuating. Maybe it’s adherents should be a little circumspect before calling other attitudes “repulsive.”

Not a joke. When i worked at Pivotal Labs, sales / executives were very excited about the synergy between helping clients build microservice architectures and selling them Cloud Foundry.
This is also explicitly against the regulation they're trying to comply with - at which point they may as well just not ask for consent to begin with.
Help me make some bread
This is actually a very good article. It's funny they missed the minus on the value of e (1.6x10^19 C). But it's a very intuitive explanation of the point they're making and a nice way to introduce the wider concepts!
I'm not a fan of this article because it focuses on the most 'technical' definition of homogeneity based only on race, immigration, skin-color, etc. It also reads to me like "I know more about Japan than you" elitist talk which is all-to-common in fandoms of various kinds (and Japanophiles in general).

When I talk about the diversity of Japan, I like to focus on the different regions of Japan. Much like we recognize distinct traits between people from California, Texas, Minnesota, and New York in the US, Japanese people have distinct characteristics depending on which region they are from: Okinawa, Kansai, Tokyo, or Hokkaido to name a handful. Beyond that each of those regions is geographically different and has their own local customs and cultural quirks which I've always enjoyed learning about.

I think such a narrow view of what 'homogeneous' means is only used to serve a specific goal, and not to analyze the topic as a whole and in good-faith. Disclaimer: I grew up in Japan as a foreigner and still have much to learn, but it's my favorite place in the world by far.

I wonder: how unpleasant was all of that, as a kid at the time?

From an outsider's perspective it sounds tyrannical, but there's also something appealing about a codified environment that looks very different than my own life; it would be an alien adventure to get used to it. Well, for a while, until it starts to feel oppressive.

I would certainly have a much greater emotional association with band music if I had been made to march to it as a child.
Yeah that seems too low to me, given that a lot of electric vehicles warranty their batteries for 8 years, and those batteries typically undergo more stress in terms of peak charge/discharge and such (and also would be expected to normally last beyond the warranty period - it’s not like they all drop dead after 8 years and one day).
> than the US or ...

That's just a silly item to include, given that the US is thoroughly heterogeneous.

Japan is not more homogeneous than, say, Poland or Denmark.

Sorry, we're mixing two layers. Of course, if I truncate a string, it may lose its meaning. And having accents fall off is problematic. But it's not the same as truncating a byte-array, because then an invalid sequence of bytes may result.

Stop treating these cases as equivalent. They're not.
