I agree, it’s a weird cultural quirk that you think wouldn’t exist with the longstanding trend towards acceptance of difference.

It’s a bit like Zwarte Piet in The Netherlands, where from an outsiders perspective it looks clearly problematic, but if you have grown up in The Netherlands you likely don’t see anything wrong.
According to every major outlet NYC has like Crains' NY, Bloomberg, and even realtor reports, show that every indicator for NYC at least, that the city demand for real estate is dramatically shrinking.

Rents are down 22%. Listings at an all time high. Vacancies at record 6.2%. Time of listings are also getting longer. Some of these numbers are 10 to 20 year highs.

Really? What about cultures that write right to left or vertically?
Ah, I made a terrible mistake on my Math above. It's 400k minutes which is actually only 6666.66 hours (400k / 60). So in the end you'll have only 200 years / 60 = 3.33 years.

I suppose you're going to pay people to do it, so lemme help you a little.
6667 hours at let's say $15/hour that's roughly one million dollars for this task. I hope you have large pockets ;).

Might be the most vile and toxic thing I've ever read. Covid appears to make men sterile, and that is good? It takes another level of self loathing to wish sterility on other people.
Removing a massive mechanism for being able to address a need that most people feel shame for and explicitly try to hide due to social pressure?

If I'm acting on my own, my reach is very limited. By using the government, we have the potential to make a much larger impact, and in this case, create the expectation that no one should go hungry in this country. We're not there yet, mainly because there are many people around here who don't believe that expectation is valid. I'll fight them for the rest of my life.
Question: are you familiar with Hangul? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hangul)

If yes, ask yourself why it (or other similar "featural" systems) are not dominating other "less efficient/expressive" systems like Latin Alphabet.

OK, a batshit crazy person.

The Earth doesn't care for our presence or demise. The universe even less so. The Earth also doesn't care about climate change. It's just a rock plus some carbon-based lifeforms. Some will do just fine under climate change. In the end, all will perish along with the Sun or sooner.

It's up for us to care for us.

Caring for "Earth" or for animal life to the detriment of humans, is just a long-winded way to justify being suicidal.

It's also false consciousness. You don't really love Earth or animals, you just hate yourself and human life.
You can, it's called use __future__, six, and 2/3 compatible idioms. I've been writing code (begrudgingly) like this for years. Test suite runs on 2.7-3.6 no problem, albeit annoying to write vs pure py3.
The adventure doesn't start until things go wrong, just think of it as Linux's way of providing a lifetime of adventures and great stories, like trying to fix your parent's computer at 3am before they wake up and realize you thought you had the dual-boot Windows/SuSE setup working but now the master boot record is corrupted and you're still a Linux noob without StackOverflow or Google for answers. Battle scars my friend.

It's not a scientific article. It is a journalistic article about research. Ewen Callaway is a journalist. He is disseminating actual science published in Nature. You are misunderstanding the premise of the text.
So pairing this with a quote from the article “Students are encouraged to have black hair to serve as a visible signal that they are willing to adapt to society,” makes it feel like accepting societal norms isn't just encouraged it's almost a fascist doctrine? I'm assuming then that phrases like "celebrate diversity" are frowned upon.
Edit: I just wanted to add that having not grown up in a non-individualistic society these things feel very unusual to me. My comparison to fascism is a bit hyperbolic and not meant to offend, apologies all round. I'm leaving it instead of deleting purely for the sake of discussion.
I agree but thats a different problem.
I accidentally repartitioned my main linux drive once.

I just ran gparted:

$ gparted

and instead of complaining that I didn't specify an argument, it chose the first one: /

When I realized what I had done, I couldn't recover the partition table, but I managed to rsync everything elsewhere. I'm sure there was a better/safer way but everything was recovered in the end.
I'd love to read more about this, could you elaborate!

How does any of that prevent you from using those checksums as an indicator of whether your own ripping process is working as expected?
Python gave everyone 12 years to deal with version 3 being the way forward. There are many fundamental changes.

The fact that people seem to complain exclusively after Python 2' end of life a year ago feels a little telling. Perl's community roffle stomped their previous vision for Perl 6. Python community wasn't vocal about this being a bad change. Rather the opposite, very loud support.

Keep in mind, I dislike Python either way, but I'm not one of the devs that complains about continuing education requirements, or language adding things over each 10 year period. I can work in Python just fine, but that doesn't mean it feels nice & hygienic to use for me personally.
ZFS has open my eyes to /dev/disk/by-id/. It's the only way when you have many of the exact same make/model/size drives per machine. You will learn by fire the first time you need to determine which drive you need to replace.
I think it's the role of the lead dev to help newbies and coordinate work if needed. It can also be discussed at some meeting where the PO would present future tasks.

I don't see that as an intangible rule, it's all project and team dependent. And I see how in a remote world a "standup" can be beneficial.

Was the 3D effect made from different focus points?
Apple never used any 64-bit cores from Arm. Their own Cyclone was developed in parallel with Arm's Cortex-A57.
Similar approach taken in France[1] not that long ago. What seems interesting here is the fact that France uses Malinois dogs, which seems a bit odd. They are insanely trainable and smart(I am saying that as someone who owns a working line Malinois) but their noses are nowhere nearly as effective or sensitive as say terriers(which is what they have gone for in Czechia). I'm guessing it's a "work with what we have already" situation but still curious to know if there is something more to it.

I find trying to decide on "proper abstractions" can also cause the same issue as trying to design for scale: you have to make complex design decisions based on how the future might turn out (which components might you need to replace? what might their future interface requirements be?).

I think it might be more efficient to do whatever is fastest/easiest based on what you know now & always plan on refactoring when you know more. So you end up trying to write less, simpler, code knowing you're going to tear it apart soon.

Which I think still fits with your overall point.
Obviously you should use food rated argon if you want to be safe.

Ah yes, the common problem all of us face in our daily lives.

Absolutely! It would be a dream come true if Indian law-makers start doing things in the public, allowing public to comment/vet their ideas/thoughts/plans on upcoming legislations.
I'm not sure if you're aware: currently the farmers in India's capital are protesting against the farm acts the Govt. introduced. The acts are supposed to do good to the farmers, but since they did not involve them, there is a lot of misinformation and protest.
Asking rhetorical questions of this nature is not achieving anything except airing your hurt sensibilities. People can have opinions other than the ones you hold and I already outlined fairly clearly in my original post what I think.

Heterogeneity is bad for startups because of the need to have no friction communication and shared goals/ideals/experiences. It does _not_ mean that diversity is bad in a big company or overall.
This is incredible work. The 3D component is superb. The effort is clearly apparent. I spent half an hour fiddling with the thing before I realized what had happened. This must have significant value to archivists.

I want to plug a documentary in which someone invents a tool in an attempt to replicate a Vermeer. The documentary supposes that Vermeer may have used such a tool. It's an interesting cross section of art, engineering, and history.

Akiva Goldsman's instruction to me was to have Nash make gradual progress on the Riemann hypothesis, after he emerged from hospitalization. This isn't historically correct, but the film is a fictionalized account. That's challenging; most mathematicians only have experience with fiction writing for for grant proposals.

For the library scene late in the film, Nash is starting to make sense. I consulted with a few people actually thinking about the Riemann hypothesis. ("Working" on it is staring into the sun.) For those blackboards, they advised me to borrow from Pierre Deligne's work in characteristic p. I made sure that missing definitions prevented anyone from actually proving the boards were wrong. "Freeze-framing the DVD" was a stock phrase for us on the set, but in fact people mostly paid attention to the acting.

As a first year graduate student, I was struck by the similarities between covering spaces in my topology course and field extensions in my algebra course. Asking Barry Mazur in the hallway, he quite mystically intoned that everything is connected. That was the basis for the student approaching Nash in the library. Russell Crowe completely winged his long response at the table. I was seriously impressed.

Earlier, I got pilloried by some for the Harvard Lecture Hall scene where Nash is institutionalized. Hey, it comes with the territory. Nash associating spacetime with the quaternions? Brian Greene gave me such a great look when I tried this line on him that I knew we had to use it. It is crazy, and the scene required crazy. Nevertheless, complex quaternions can model geometries used in physics. The quaternions and octonions extend the complex numbers, one could look there to better understand the Riemann hypothesis. The quaternions are most famously used by game developers for efficient rotations, and one keeps seeing references (here on HN!) to the octonions as deeper. I was at a tech dinner party in Berkeley where various gamers including the founder of Second Life swarmed me to share a moment "Oh! The octonions!"

For the porch scene in question, where Nash is still pretty gorped, I had him playing with a visual notation for continued fractions. The Riemann zeta function doesn't even converge where one wants to understand its zeros. Continued fractions exhibit different convergence properties, somewhat like the light cast in a a park with trees. So I could imagine a gorped Nash obsessing on continued fractions.
Your example would always set the counter to 1 and not increment it. From what I understood you would like to set the counter to "current value" + 1. Unfortunately there is no API at the moment to retrieve the current value. Task for the next version. Thanks for the idea!

As a side note this would also trigger a navigation away from your site not something you probably want. You should be doing this behind the scenes with JS.

You could look into https://countapi.xyz/. You won't get the displaying part but there's an API for your use case.

I disagree with software architecture. There's not enough theory and science in organizing code and understanding complexity. Most of what goes on here is just guessing. If you created "good architecture" it only means future requirements happened to fit your design, aka you made a good guess.

Rarely does anyone design anything that is efficient in the present and adaptable to any possible future simply because there's no science and theory on how to design such a thing. There's some rules of thumb but even following these rules of thumbs people end up with technical debt most of the time anyway. It always happens, if a project lives long enough, more and more "design mistakes" made at project inception become evident.

I have personally found tacit programming to be the solution for this but because there's no theory I can't explain to you definitely why tacit programming is the best way to deal with tech debt of the structural nature.
Your posting sounds weird.

"Yes, argon is heavier than air, but there's this thing called diffusion."
What has diffusion to do with it? Nothing. Most diffusion effects in our life are negligible because of convection.

I had to check how much argon costs. It is indeed not very expensive. Why do you need medical grade? What "toxins" do you expect?

This is an overkill for 99% of the population. Does your wife ask "Did you argon the olive oil?" too?

Several Sikhs went to my highschool, and men are forbidden from shaving or cutting their hair (kept in a turban, it was always above the collar). This wasn't a problem, as we were generally allowed to dress and style ourselves how we liked except for some rules around "decency" and "gang colors". But I've heard plenty of stories, even in the last few years, about Sikhs and black people getting punished for not adhering to various western norms
Yes. When your calculation uses dozens of files and a change in any of them might change the results, I don’t see how there is any alternative to some form of containerization. Even if you could generate a statically linked binary, if it’s science you want to distribute the sources for everything as well.

I notice that most people seem to reach for Docker automatically, though. There are other technologies, such as systemd containers, that might be better in some situations.
I think that's a fair summary of the attitude.
Conformity is useful in terms of (illusionary) efficiency: they look the same, they think the same, so you can run the same algo on them and they will produce a curve-bell result which you can use to single out and either eliminate or boost outliers. Problem is, diversity runs deeper than appearances; but few people and even fewer _orgs_ grok that.
Wow. Did not expect that from Mozilla of all places. Really disappointed as I've been a die hard Firefox user for as long as I can remember in large part because of the commitment to a free, open internet and fundamental Liberal values like free speech.

This list is a good idea for the reason stated in a sibling comment: it could highlight gotchas for people learning CSS.

However it fails to do so. The list is mostly subjective preferences, and as such is far too long, leaving the actual universally-accepted gotchas to get completely lost among the rest.

Even some of the points that most would agree on are still such minor gripes as to be almost irrelevant, so listing them just detracts from the significance of some of the very large actual mistakes in CSS.

Here's a few choice subjective examples:

> Table layout should be sane.

This is not a helpful bullet point without expanding further.

> The 4-value shorthands like margin should go counter-clockwise (so that the inline-start value is before the block-start value).

This would make sense for an implementer and make resulting CSS more terse for common use cases but it would be less intuitive for people newly learning CSS.

> z-index should be called z-order or depth and should Just Work on all elements (like it does on flex items).

This would have caused a lot of arms race z-indices, particularly in sites loading widgets generated by third party scripts. It would make z-index less confusing but without scoped CSS this change could get quite problematic.

> The top and bottom margins of a single box should never have been allowed to collapse together automatically as this is the root of all margin-collapsing evil.

I 100% agree but I acknowledge that many don't, so I don't think this belongs here. This is basically like the tabs and spaces debate.

This is BAD. Whitespace isn't empty (nor does it display as such, it collapses to one space, not zero), so that change is incredibly unintuitive. :empty should stay as currently, :blank might fit the new use case.

One of the factors in fattening of the UK and the USA is that many people forgot how to cook. The intergenerational transmission of this skill somehow diminished over the last decades. In contrast, in the poorest part of the world, pretty much everyone cooks at home, it would be unaffordable to live on processed foods only.

But oh God, so many Westerners are absolutely clueless in the kitchen. I am not sure whether this is caused by not having enough time, by successful advertising from processed food producers or from a cultural stigma that cooking is somehow backward and a kind of self-oppression. But cooking is dying out, for the first time in human history.
Interesting points, and I have to say they do ring true. The type system is definitely limited and if you compare it to Haskell I understand 100% why you'd be frustrated. And the docs are overly verbose while simultaneously not being detailed enough.

For me, I'm currently at a point where a lot of these things are „known issues“, and they don't affect my day-to-day too much. I think the last time they did matter was during the Java 1.7 -> 8 switch, but I see what you mean.

It's funny that you mention not being fond of Python & Javascript, because those are the two most "mainstream" alternatives I thought you'd compare Java to, with plenty of warts themselves.
It is not merely “one of the official languages”; the Irish constitution grants it status as “the first official language”, and English as “the second official language”, obviously granting primacy to Irish.

The reality, however, is that indeed Polish is spoken more than Irish in modern day Ireland, and the former is in decline and will probably be near extinct in a generation or two.

other properties like padding, and margin take vertical first. They're asking for consistency.
I didn't make a value judgement on those reasons, or at least that wasn't my intention, though I can see why someone might take it that way.

I think the environmental concerns that feed into it are often quite valid, spreading endless suburbs across places like the UK is not a great idea. But I don't think criticising those who aspire to have more space is a good outcome.

I can't say this was the case for your school, but often certain events or changes in culture cause rules to be established that end up being incomprehensible years later.

For example a shaved head was ok when I started school, but when neo-nazi skinheads became popular in the '90s the haircut became unwelcome (though not strictly prohibited).
