Pretty much any shared hosting can support Wordpress. Kinsta was a suggestion where you pay for someone to manage and install things for you which is a lot more than hosting.
I switched my blog to WordPress
It's a good thing cavities are the only negative health effect of poverty, just give em fluoride!
> I think this article goes through a lot of micro-exercizes and micro-corrections and semantics to avoid the obvious conclusion that Japan is mostly honogenous, and to a far more degree than the US or a lot of European countries.

It depends on what one looks at.

The U.S.A., culturally, most famously treats race as if it be an ethnicity. As such, in their perspective what they call “African-American" and “European-American” are very different.

From where I stand, they are all “Anglo-Saxon”, and further subdivisions seem rather minute and trivial. They all live in a similar culture, having grown up with English as a native language, and tend to have very similar Anglo-Saxon cultural sensibilities that are shared with say Australia and the U.K.. that often seem uniquely and recognizably Anglo-Saxon to me.

I do not really think that the color of a man's skin, having grown up in a very similar environment, speaking the same language, practicing the same traditions, and being influenced by the same values, makes him all that different and worthy of a different “ethnicity”.

Many countries actually have a large population of recent immigrants. Did you know that Polish is spoken more in Ireland than Irish as of this moment for instance? These Polish immigrants have grown up speaking a different language, exposed to a different culture, eating different food and practicing different traditions. — they might be as “white” as the Irishman as a stereotype, but there is a greater difference to be had here than between the Anglo-Saxons of different colors.

And, to note, the only Polishman I have ever had a good conversation with was quite dark skinned, but nevertheless Polish was his native language. He lived in the Netherlands but was a recent immigrant from Poland and quite catholic. Apparently both his parents were immigrants as well, but he was born in Poland and spoke Polish as a native language.
On KDE, only system-installed PyQt5 has the Breeze theme. Pip-installed PyQt5 has a non-native theme and the resulting apps look out of place.

There are ways to get virtualenv, pip, pipx, etc. to use system packages and only install local packages for those not present in the system.
I sometimes have to rough it with only a single exterior screen! Once I had to work on only the laptop by itself. The Horror!

;)

But, more seriously since this is HN: While the extra screens are great, as is the mouse and mechanical keyboard, it's not much of a hassle at all to work in a different location. I think the extra screens, desk space, peripherals, all go towards making me more comfortable rather than efficient. Which for me, rocking the oh-so-annoying ADHD along with nerve and back pain, means I can focus on work for that much longer in one session.

I should be working from home at least until mid 2021, hopefully much longer or even permanently. A good working environment can really improve your mental health at a time when, in the USA especially, things are incredibly stressful.
Anecdotally, I have been shocked to see managers in my department not understanding attrition due to people in IT quitting because they are finding new fully remote jobs because they didn’t like the constant “when we plan to go back fully in the office”.
I understand your frustration about generic names, but the URL situation ain’t so dire:

This HN submission links to Gruber’s website, his post title links to the app’s GitHub page (https://oblador.github.io/hush/) which has a direct App Store link. (https://apps.apple.com/app/id1544743900)
They can they just typically don’t want to go roll about the muck once they have achieved full galaxy brain.

Mostly trolling but I do think following XP dogmatically early in my career gave me an accelerated appreciation and understanding for a lot of the other bullet points. I don’t always TDD now but I can typically tell if code was written via TDD or not just by reading it.
Do you know what tools they're using for that?
Is there any work being done to revert the requirements of cookie banners, age consent, etc? These are all utterly pointless and easy to bypass.

While we're at it, get rid of the forced "piracy is harmful" ads on every media disc too. Pirates don't actually see these messages, they're stripped out in the final copy, so the actual legal customers are the only one suffering through it as they can't be skipped either with the skip button, which is silly.

We need to do a better job of cleaning up our laws that has turned out to be worthless.
"The right-wing counter factual you’re spreading is an attempt to distract from the damage caused by certain bad calls made early on to prevent the normal public health response for political reasons."

And that statement is emblematic of the problem. I'm immediately lumped into "right wing" by people like you because I challenged the narrative you believe. I'm not a right winger, and that "counter-factual" isn't right wing either. It's real.

If closing restaurants, both indoor and outdoor, is such a great strategy, then we should expect to see less infections in places that close restaurants vs those that leave them open. That is not the case in the United States. Feel free to compare Florida to California in the cases/deaths per capita metrics.
We need circular economies in order to fulfill the Paris Agreement
After living there many years, my imprisons; people as individuals are very heterogenous, but in groups consensus building and standard protocol is the modus operandi; some of this is just a matter of taste; there is a sore lack of pluralism and all its benefits to thinking, decision making, and experience across society; promotion of perceptions of homogeneous one people one language one county, is part of the nationalistic project to make people believe in Japan as a real thing; there is huge variation in regional cultures and languages; there is a huge decline of religional population and economy and hence diversity; really big cities require a degree of conformity of the population to be manageable; neo liberal capitalist ideals hold the balance power now and have subsumed the nation and its culture; homogeneity is very linked with consumerism; coming from a country where is kind of rude to ask where are you from, it being the first thing out of anyone's mouth when you meet them took me on a philosophical journey over the years; Japan's contemporary language planning policy, if not by design, then by tertiary effect serves to make people more confused and inept at cross cultural communication and emphasise difference rather than similarities; the whole 'let's build robots to replace our aging workforce', is just another way of saying let's not have people born in other countries come line here; Japan has been too Japanese for to long, and the before mentioned level of plurality had led to a lack of imagination on how to solve problems, and perpetuation of ideas detached from reality when it comes to ethnicity, nationality, etc; what happens to all this empty space and developed infrastructure when 100s of millions of Bangladeshis are displaced by sea level rise?; Most of the interesting the interesting parts of Japan and the historical circumstance the led it to be what it is today, have little or no relivance to discussion on other countries about the merits of an ethno state. The Prefectures keep and publish very accurate monthly data about internal immigration and emigration, including nationality, it wouldn't be heard to research this.
Today, it’s more like a centrist.

The average, vocal, “conservative” that you’ll find in US media or politics is a reactionary whose bona fides consist of a few narrowly focused issues that pander to a few core constituencies including now, racists and nativists. They often don’t share conservative ideals beyond that.

Growing up, my family were blue collar Catholics. They were fairly conservative from a personal lifestyle perspective, but didn’t care about most of the “Conservative” issues of today. Today middle class Hispanics are probably the closest analog.
I find that I am more sensitive to low resolution when I don’t have my contacts in since it takes a blurry image and makes it blurrier.
just a question, because this virus came from bats and now infects minks and humans: why should dogs be exempt from spreading or getting infected with it?
> In both cases you can say "well someone else will just come along and support it", and for py2 they did, for a bit

Was python-2 handed off to new maintainers? News to me.

> why are you working on it in the way you want rather than the way I want

Is "it" python-2 or python-3?

This isn't users demanding py3 devs support py2 - it's users asking that devs who no longer want to support py2 to hand it off to those that do, rather than blocking it.
Nothing to measure it with but i never think about the lag when i do it over hotel wifi
I suspect the issue here is schools. Most parents might work 9-5, but schools often start as early as 7-8am, which means the parents (or at least a parent) needs to get up early enough to coordinate for school and also work until 5pm.
> I guess they want you to run Golang servers behind nginx or expensive Google Cloud load balancers, probably on Kubernetes.

If you're using shared hosting, or your data has any value, why would you use anything besides a reverse proxy/Wireguard to access your hosted application server?
I too have noticed a trend of anti-homeownership propaganda. Here's what I can't figure out. Why does "anti-homeownership propaganda" exist at all? Who has something to gain from it?
Ah, sorry about that. :)
No, flouride was the chemical they were trying to get rid of.
The whole point of journalism is to filter information by relevance or value, validate it for accuracy, and present it to the audience.

"Regurgitating" press releases has sadly become the norm for many outlets, but it trivializes the whole existence of news media.

I have 30 years of pro experience, so I'm like you plus another 10 years of confusion. I agree with the list as well, and like your (and others) additions. I especially feel that parts about zealotry. The worst are Medium developers, those with a Medium amount (3-7 years) of experience that get their dogma from Medium articles.
Because of our history of slavery and settler colonialism more generally. The circumstances differ because of our somewhat unique historical circumstances, although some European countries enacted similar measures for their former colonies.
Unfortunately you have to do this again after each reboot, or whenever you plug in an USB stick, so the dev/by-* option does help when you do that repeatedly for the same device.
A lot of research has been released with assets written in now defunct versions of Python. It is a shame that the barrier to reproduction just went up a lot.

One would hope that language designers would make the languages monotonically increasing to preserve compatibility and otherwise fork not projects when they loose confidence in previous features.
Starting off, SVG is an XML encoding, which is a rather hairy thing to deal with. Just to get a feel for LOCs:

https://github.com/GNOME/libxml2

There's also the web's (horrible) tendency to make a diarrhea of special-purpose tags and attributes--many of which could be subsumed by basic turing-completeness. Compare this to postscript, which was a relatively simple stack machine to begin with.

And of course, if we start special-purposing things, we're no longer compliant with the standard, and it would be chaos to call it SVG at that point.
I've had the exact opposite experience to the point that this post feels like a rose-tinted glorification of small town life.
It’s interesting, I think, how many people this resonates with. Why do people enter the software business with such strong beliefs about topics like this that after a few years they realize they were wrong?
My rule for major new abstract components is: “if you’re going to do that, you have to get it right”.

It’s fine to have a major abstraction, but it needs to actually make a problem space disappear, for some definition of “entirely”.

That means:
- great code
- great documentation
- tested
- engineering resources assigned to maintain it full time

... for as long as it takes. Until you reach that level of “makes the problem space disappear entirely”.

So when someone suggests a new abstraction, I just ask if we’re going to invest all of that. And if not I suggest we stick to just using the tools we already have.
The regional effects are strong. I’ve only done software, but even within that narrow domain I’ve seen a 4 hour difference. The west coast specifically seems to bias super late, and I was shocked when I joined $EMPLOYER that the norm was roughly 11am to 7pm.
Intel is still rather undervalued. PE of 11, huge amounts of cashflow, one big chip win and they're back.
For those on Mac, there is Sidecar to use your iPad as secondary display for Mac (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210380).

So, combined with @gambiting saying something similar exists on Windows, I'm struggling to see the utility of Deskreen given the two main OS's already have such functionality built in.

I guess cross-platform might be the only use ?
Most of us aren't sommeliers though. In a blind test the best I could do would be to say "I like that one, don't like this other one etc". And I feel I know a reasonable bit about reds and have done plenty of tastings over the years. I usually go for the best bang for the buck, and at the moment there's a bunch of great South American wines priced at around GBP5.50-7.00 that are great daily drivers.
In our case, the LD_PRELOAD approach would not have worked because this was on iOS devices where you can't set that variable. However, I do appreciate you mentioning it because it too is a powerful mechanism that enables some creative and non-invasive solutions in some cases.

There are some ad blockers for Safari, both on macOS and on iOS. 1Blocker, AdGuard, Wipr, are examples I know to work well. (Many are paid, though, or have paid “premium” tiers.)
Edit: others in this thread also mention Ghostery, KaBlock.
Tons of people talk about this - check Blind, /r/financialindependence, and the millions of people on Twitter and WallStreetBets that post every winning options trade. People are constantly comparing sizes on the internet.
Well full automatic driving is more advanced than driver assistance, and Tesla is claiming that the current system will be scaled to full autonomous driving which is what the original article is about.

The waymo car is the only actively-used car with Lidar anyway as far as I’m aware, so if you exclude Waymo then your statement is self fulfilling no matter how good or bad Tesla’s ADAS is!
I really appreciate that you’re open to a conversation, it made for an interesting thread.

I can offer an alternate solution to accumulating toxins, which may or may not be comprehensive: Property rights.

Pollution is a tragedy of the commons situation. If people owned, not just land, but whatever encompasses the pollution, there would be incentive not to pollute their own property.

So my proposed solution would require defining property in a way that includes ownership of the pollution.

Government enforces property rights, so this does rely partly on government.

Cops need a reasonable suspicion to search your vehicle or belongings.

And an easy way of claiming they have one is having dogs point at things, usually on command. It's a legal loophole.

Other tricks include claiming you have a slurred speech, or that they smelled alcohol breath or marijuana.

Then they can search your stuff, find nothing and say it's a false positive.
That isn't an 'implementation file' in the relevant sense.

If the file is intended to be used with #include, it's a header file, and should be given the .h or .hpp extension. If the file corresponds to an object file in the build, it should be given the .cpp extension (or .cxx).

If you want to break apart your template metaprogramming into several .hpp files, you can do so.
You are engaged in some deep magical thinking about what encodings, to believe that knowing the encoding of a so-called string allows you to perform any operations on it more correctly than on sack of bytes. (Fewer, in fact—at least the length of a byte array has any meaning at all.)

It's an easy but very much confused mistake to make if the text you work with is limited to European languages and Chinese.
What you did is typically not useful to share. This can be seen on the scrum board. What you do want to share is your experience, what was hard/easy/remarkable or when you are stuck. Just reporting what you did goes quickly to defending your hours or something.
I was getting a tour of a lab from a grad student, and I was told a desk was full of 3.5" floppies with data from old research. I said "Wait, what? Old floppies won't retain data indefinitely!" and got shushed -- she didn't want to wind up responsible for trying to do data recovery on hundreds of floppy disks, which would do jack for getting her to her Ph.D.

Rot is a very big part of what happens to a lot of information.

Using machine learning. One interesting bit is that they chose Julia as the language with which to build their software, and after some initial trepidation over using such a “new” language they're now super-satisfied with their choice and saying they couldn't have done as much as fast with any other language; “Julia paid off for us better than they would have imagined”.
Hmm. Good point

Pointing out Debian as your counter example is so silly.

Yes, HackerNews community member, but we’re talking about software in aggregate amongst products people out in the world use not just your favorite Linux distros.

Analytics are very common now, carry no malice, and are not spyware.

The term has implications that aren’t satisfied here but hey, it’s HN and YOLO. Everything is spyware everyone should use Debian, eat Arby’s etc
To me, this project seems much more useful than these platform specific apps. ANY screen with a browser means much more compatibility than iPad only for the second screen.

Try saying that in a bar in Okinawa and see how well it goes over.

It’s not uncommon to hear people from Tokyo describe people from Osaka as “not being Japanese.”
Geolocation. That's the only reason I care and I don't trust Google's implementation, but sometimes I'm forced to use Chrome/Chromium to access a site and some manager has decided geolocation is mandatory.

I grew up on programming on a Mac SE, so layering feels natural to me versus needing to have everything on screen at once. That said, a 26” 4K monitor “above” (with the resolution increased a bit) my 15” MacBook Pro has been a good setup in WFH mode.

I'll say this to the general sentiment. My 9th grade chemistry teacher say 'your generation will face two major problems: xxxxxx and water'[1]. He's been a sage in my life, retired for about 1.5 decades.

I say all this to attempt to say that 'this is refreshing' that this community understands that we are in an impending crisis of water. Onward! :)

The US tracks ethnicity and race separately, and tracks Hispanic origin as the main driver of population growth is Hispanic migration
I respectfully disagree.

It is not just a commentary on what's happening, as you describe in your first sentence. There's also a distinct assertion on what must happen going forward, to the opinion of the speakers.

Suburbs don't scale. Yet, cities don't scale either. This is why people get priced out or want to move out and most cities have been low growth modes for years.

I find it interesting that recognizing that the path of least resistance (suburbs) may be slowly and haphazardly changing (true), is ccheered by all academics.

Yet I don't see any expert opinion about about having cities be more receptive to change to accommodate growth....

Sure sounds like a NIMBY from academics about their cities, no?
That's ... exactly what I just said. However, the transcoding burden would be a little too much for the Atom in my laptop, so I'd have to do it on my main computer instead.

Regarding the capture card. The aspect ratio mess-up is entirely its fault.
When I'm coding, I generally have code on one, and the other has a browser with documentation, notes, issue tracker, or just used for searches etc. Usually that monitor is split and also has chat visible.

When I'm testing/debugging, one monitor might be the web app I'm working on, the other is the code I'm stepping through. Or I'll be tailing a log file or watching something in a database while using the app.

I do lots of client/server stuff, so sometimes I have a monitor showing the server-side (web UI and/or logs) and the other showing client-side (cli, logs, and/or local UI). The key useful thing is seeing the client do an action and send something to the server, and seeing the server instantly react: that's not possible when you can't see everything.

In some cases, I'm debugging remotely, and a monitor will be partly or completely dedicated to ssh/rdp/vnc to the remote system(s), with the other used for browser or cli app I'm testing. Usually chat, documentation, source, issue tracker is mixed in there too.

There's a couple things I work on that have long running builds (10+ minutes) or integration tests that takes a bit over 30 mins. Both are long enough that I'll do something else while waiting and suddenly 2 hours pass before I remember, so I like keeping the build status page visible somewhere to avoid that.

Even for non-work/coding sometimes I just have YouTube or Netflix open (either 1/4 window or full-screen) while I'm browsing the web on another.

To me, working on my laptop is doable, but feels like having one hand tied behind my back when compared to working with multiple monitors and a proper keyboard and mouse.
