You guys helped us a lot and I've already requested our IT team to work on it.
Maybe if Gamestop pivots to e-commerce they can eventually come up with some way that you could buy a game online and have it delivered fully digitally, without even having to wait for shipping. Especially if they had vendor lock-in, where the games you've purchased digitally are available to you on any device -- but only through your GameStop account. Every time you log into your GameStop account to play the games you've purchased you would see the front page of their store with all the new games they've listed and the sales they're promoting.

That business model could really be worth $20B. It would be huge. Like what Netflix did to BlockBuster, but for video games.
I mean in general, just to clarify. I've obviously heard of their covid vaccines.

One of the biggest improvements I saw in my Linux usage/admin was when I started trying to challenge myself to use the mouse as little as possible; it was absolutely eye-opening when I could navigate around my machine, do all of my everyday processes, and never really leave "home row". It also made VM'ing into a windows server a total pain because it was fairly quickly back to "clicky-clicky" navigation and processing (although win+R, tabbing and arrow keys could get you by about 90% of the time).

Great article, and great approach to learning the inner workings of the standard Linux suite!

And being able to cite a legal reason when you're fired immediately after they learn of a disability doesn't necessarily give them a get-out-of-jail card. But it would vary from jurisdiction and the employment status here sounds complicated, so I would absolutely see a lawyer about it.
I'm planning on buying a printer soon elevation maps are one of the things I was hoping to print - thank you for the awesome tool! Assuming the users are okay with it I think it would be cool to show some of the pics people send you for inspiration.
Great question. Our general approach is to look up the devtools browser extension for the framework, and use that as a reference point for determining how to interface with the framework

The most popular framework we haven't implemented support for yet is Angular. (AngularJS, the old version, is straightforward.) Any of the compiled frameworks, e.g., Google Closure Compiler are difficult because they mangle identifiers. I suspect Svelte might also be tricky, but we haven't tried that yet

At the end of the day though, every framework has to write to the DOM and be accessible. So you can use selectors, or in the worst case OCR/computer vision. (IIRC, FB actively inserts dummy elements to try to prevent structural scraping).
It's indeed one of the toughest nuts, and also the one reason we don't simply "Cloud Load" all third-parties. It really is a case-by-case thing, but in general we developed some pretty sophisticated loading techniques to overcome exactly this issue. We gave quite a thorough example of how we're loading the Facebook Pixel on https://zaraz.com/engineers. I don't want to just copy-paste it here, but I'd be happy to say more about it if you have any questions. The short answer is yes, it's hard, we don't always do things server-side partly because of this, but we find other ways to still optimize even if some things have to go client-side.

> A proprietary program puts its developer or owner in a position of power over its users. This power is in itself an injustice.

Apart from the horrible style and lack of nuance, it's simply not true. To reply in the same style: who pays for proprietary software, often can demand changes. With OSS, the user is in no position to do so at all.

There is of course nuance here, since large companies with many end users do not listen to their paying customers, and OSS developers can be responsive, but I don't feel particularly kind to someone who uses false and nonsensical premises to make a political point.

> the proprietary program's developer is tempted to design the program to mistreat its users

That would indeed be a problem. Creating an army base in the area and just dumping a bunch of soldiers would not work. The government would have to "move" people naturally, by perhaps founding a town and incentivizing investment to draw people it. Ludicrously expensive, but possible even within the "speedy trial" timeframe.

I would never suggest that a government physically do this. Rather, the possibility would be an argument against the idea that jury trials are impossible per se. A reviewing court would outline some compromised procedure to select a jury, something short of physically getting people to move.
I can't help you with legal advice but I just want to wish you good health and suggest you keep that as a priority. Even if it feels the end of the world for loosing the job, looking at things from a late perspective won't as grave as they do now. Don't be too hard on yourself and don't feel guilty about anything as employers ultimately care about extracting value about you, especially in the US where most people are reluctant to talk to HR about their mental health even if they say they want to help. Most times they would use it against you somehow so it's not worth it. I was depressed (not clinical but felt hopeless and anxious) in the past and hid it from work and am glad I did because you will get judged if not fired.

And do take care of yourself first and foremost and you can lead a decent life. So if I were you I'd pursue this thing but if nothing can be done I wouldn't sweat it and concentrate on healing, on good patters, and stability , even if it feels hard when not having a job it is possible if you make an effort.

How well does Nouveau work on Wayland? On X11 it's a complete disaster compared to the proprietary drivers. Framerate drops when just moving windows around or scrolling in my editor, screen tearing, fans blasting when playing videos or just randomly.

Basically I would say it doesn't work.
I think we really need to be able to more cleanly separate content from the design, and let the browsers, a.k.a. user-agents, decide/override more. Browsers have ceded too much control over layout and visual structure to web designers, who go on to make (often incorrect) assumptions about how the user wants to interact with their content.
I remember that incident well and watching you comb the bees into their new home. Good times!
Your foreign status is perhaps less of a big issue than your contractor status. It may not be the case in every circuit but in at least some of them the precedent is that the ADA doesn't fully protect contractors. Part of the reason companies like to bring on contractors is that the "social contract" of contracting says that contractors can generally be dumped unceremoniously; that's part of the point.

Don't listen to people on this thread talking about "at-will employment", which (1) doesn't really apply to contractors and (2) doesn't apply to most discrimination cases, which are covered by separate laws (ADA, the Age Discrimination act, FMLA, etc).

Contractor status is one of those things you can often actually contest. Your employer referring to you as an "employee" is probably not dispositive, but there are a bunch of other tests (how much control you have over your work, etc) that an employment lawyer can walk you through.

Flip side of this: if your former employer is big and well-known, chances are they're well aware of the legal tripwires for contractors (everyone is after Microsoft infamously blew up over misclassification). Your actual contract, the one that actually got signed, probably spells out in great detail the fact that you are not a full-time employee entitled to benefits. So if it's a clueful company, it may be a steep hill to climb to argue that you were misclassified.

Terminating an employee with no previous disciplinary record right after a mental health crisis would be sketchy pretty much everywhere in the US, and most employers would be worried about legal repercussions. So it's possible that if you get a decent lawyer, you might be able to put together a nastygram that will get your former employer to cough up a settlement of some sort, rather than going to bat over your contractor status, which would be expensive for everyone.

Best of luck.
Not all statically typed languages. Using it in QT is great, and using it in GTK in C is not more difficult than showing a window. I also recently came across zbus in rust (https://docs.rs/zbus/1.8.0/zbus/) and it looks like it’s similar dynamically typed languages. I’ve also heard good things about the Systemd implementation. In all of these situations, it’s far easier to use DBus than another Wayland protocol.
In the past the Redux docs were something that was really hard for me to follow. I can't be super precise with my feedback, but the docs weren't able to cleanly explain the concepts and the React example was hard to follow. I had to learn from Youtube tutorials.

Thanks for rewriting them!

My remark is based on what you said. You called the separation of form and function a "mistake" and I said this is categorically wrong. My statement still stands, you have not addressed it.

I neither agree or disagree with your remark about "Wholistic" designs but your example is extremely inapt.

The entire MacOS is programmed using a an interface separate from function. If they didn't program the Operating system in a higher level language that can be compiled into separate architectures then the move to ARM would be an even more complex engineering maneuver. The entire reason why Apple was able to move to new hardware without completely rewriting the software is because Form and Function are separated.
Some sites go as far as to assume that I’m on mobile because my user agent says ARM. I’m getting a mostly blank page on amazon unless I’m changing arm to x86_64 in my user agent string, then it magically becomes usable.
I've been sniffing around for projects to do to improve my coding ability and understanding of different programs/languages. Your article really motivated me to start some small projects of my own! I like the idea of not getting yourself down with giant projects and instead just making small applications of new technologies you want to learn.
The cost of shorting the stock is a percentage of the cost of the stock on top of the stock price.
Yet another option: The CDO's effects are hidden as ineffective and maintaining of the status quo. Yet, without them, the environment would be even less diverse. Their actions are meaningful, but through sheer luck, they exactly cancel out any further 'backsliding' of diversity.

I'll admit, this possibility is incredibly small.
Many states also have laws similiar to the ADA, so the OP needs to determine which jurisdiction applies, and see if there is a rule in that jurisdiction, which may not exclude foreigners.

In addition, OP will need to be able to prove that they were fired because of their disability. OP should keep copies of any communication or other evidence they have, and contact a lawyer ASAP if they wish to pursue this.
So, basically the rioters were a representative sample of Trump voters. As, you'd expect.
Banks are prone to bailouts, hedge funds are not (in the traditional sense of taxpayer money, not private investment).

Many banks control trillions of dollars. Hedge funds almost always have less than $50B, usually by one or two orders of magnitude. If a bank fails, it's actually a problem for the government. If a hedge fund fails, it's barely a blip. If the limited partner was smart, it will also only cause them a single digit percentage decrease in their portfolio.

Hedge funds can amplify a systemic risk, but they would not really be targets for a bailout, the banks would be.
I use a BB Classic (q20) every day. It's the most responsive, ergonomic phone on the market aside from the q10. I also have the native development kit and the skills to keep that device operating forever, one thing I noticed is the root SSL certificates are no longer updated. I have copied the ones off my Arch system to the SD card and manually install new roots of trust as they are published.

When I push a button an action happens, always. It's that simple.
Secondly, say growth in user / subscriber base is a high priority.

Often is right?

When does robustness end up a priority?

Could be a very long time, and or never, particularly given the core value proposition and or features intended to deliver it are not themselves validated by "the market" as you say.

One solution to this is to pay people to adopt the solution.

Another is to deliver features more specific to them.

Yet another is to cover it up, make recovery robust, transparent, etc...

These are all perfectly fine ways to approach beta type cases, initial userbase, seeding for growth.

After that process has shown what the market finds compelling, stability should be right there in the list with the core set of software to build on.
Wow really? Been a minute since I've looked last. I'm surprised they did that, VST3 isn't as ubiquitous as I think they'd like it to be. But since when has that stopped Steinberg from making a poor design decision lol

Car units are integrated with your car's controls. I almost never need to use the touchscreen because of my in-steering-wheel controls. A smartphone with Bluetooth only covers the basic scenarios where you know where you're going before you leave - and that only if you spend far MORE effort hooking up a charger, a mount, launching the app you need, and you never need to switch apps (such as between maps and music) during your drive.

A good mapping solution enables all sorts of things:
* Seeing alternative routes you don't know about or expect along with their anticipated time difference
* Easily adding stops on the way (gas stations, restaraunts, you name it)
* Letting you know what you need to do soon (such as seeing a pattern of four lanes on the freeway and learning that you need to be in the second from the right)
* Giving you a solid idea of when you have to be watching for your next turn and when you can simply focus on the road without reading street signs. "Next turn in 3 miles" means look at the road, "next turn in 0.2 miles" means you need to start looking at street signs
* Automatic rerouting. If you DO miss a turn or get stuck behind traffic from an accident, you don't need to immediately start thinking about how best to get back on course. You can focus on the driving instead.

In the music scenario, it gives both voice controls that let you focus on the road ("Play Modest Mouse in Spotify" rather than having to dig through albums or radio stations), integration with your car's controls (next track involves lifting my thumb rather than reaching for a knob in the middle of the car or my phone).

Saying "no one should ever hear a text message while driving" is just abstinence-only education at this point, and the message works about as well as it does for sexual education. That ship has sailed and it's simply not a valid line of argument. "No one should reach for a touch screen" isn't any better - it's not a good model, but it's the reality in a huge percentage of vehicles sold today.

This isn't over-optimization - it's simply a quality of life increase. Most people don't want to have to micromanage every detail of their trips - they want to get from point A to point B safely, reliably, and rapidly. Good car systems make that simple. If you want to sit your Rand McNally atlas next to your manual transmission and your 8-track, that's your right, but other people want to focus on the parts that they HAVE to be involved with, not the parts technology can help with.
Ask HN: How do you find cool project ideas?
Nothing wrong with that attitude if you don't mind large numbers of users, many of whom are very technically competent and able to make meaningful contributions, giving up on the open source ecosystem. Most users do not have time to figure out how to stop using systemd when that is what their distro uses, let alone how to do so while staying on top of updates for whatever they are using instead. Most users who stop using systemd are going to switch to OS X or Windows, and they will contribute less, maybe not at all, to open source projects. The result will be an open source ecosystem that is less able to keep pace with proprietary software and has an even harder time staying relevant.
This isn't the whole truth either. The employer isn't responsible for getting them help. But adjusting their schedule so they can get treatment might be reasonable. They don't have to say what the condition is.
Your experience matches mine. I can think of twice where I stood my ground and argued with a more senior person. Both times I was shown to be right technically but that came at a big cost to my career. I would have been much better off letting the project crash and burn.

I think there are senior people that are different. Hell, there might be companies full of them. But I'd need to see first hand proof of it before doing anything harder than gentle pushback.
Signal used to do this, back when it was called "TextSecure". Their blog post talking about removing SMS can be found here: https://signal.org/blog/goodbye-encrypted-sms/

The main flaw in the emerging hardware ecosystem is the lack of reciprocal/cooperative licensing.

The RISC-V ISA and some of the open cores allow (or even encourage) being bundled with proprietary hardware.

Even locked-down, user-hostile hardware with patents and cryptographic protections is allowed.

If you expect RISC-V to be the "Linux of hardware", think again. Your next phone will not be "free" as in "free-from-backdoors" or "free-from-patents".

Yet, compared to the status quo, it's a step in the right direction.
I can relate. I strongly dislike score tables after levels which imply that my success was not successful enough - that I should now compete with the scores of other people.
Great research!
They make astronomical amounts of money gambling on the economy, claim that they are useful to society, and pay a lower tax rate than a janitor, welder, doctor, or actual contributor to society. Then have the audacity to be upset, and go on CNBC and bitch and moan about the ignorant retail investor, and wonder why anyone dislikes them.

Single payer / public option would be a great solution. Separating out health insurance from employment at an affordable price would be another. I understand the spectrum of choices from the EU/Germany hybrid to Canada and the UK.

I just don't see how we get there in the US. According to the World Bank, the US spent 16.89% of GDP on healthcare vs 11.43% of GDP in Germany.

That difference in spending represents billions in revenue and millions of jobs. The businesses capturing that revenue and those workers will not give up their livelihoods because the German model is more efficient.

Healthcare spending in the US is a massive political force and I see nothing on the horizon that will take it on in any meaningful way. We've discussed Obama's ACA plans many times on this site.

The realist in me says that uneven outcomes and health emergencies bankrupting families is actually a stable political outcome. E.g. Most people have no fear of medical bankruptcies - simply because it hasn't happened to them. So a politician promising a solution to medical bankruptcy isn't going to win votes. Instead that politician is inviting opposition from the medical industry. By the time someone faces medical bankruptcy it is too late for systemic change. They just go bankrupt.

From a game theory perspective, we would all collectively benefit from a better distribution of medical spending and insurance. Channelling that collective will is nearly impossible because the motivation for change doesn't become obvious until you have to pay $5K/month for medicines to survive.

Motived, ethical political leaders could do it. But you don't reform 17% of GDP spending without risking your political future, speaking fees, or board seats.
Well honestly the true story is that it was simply a domain that we could afford, but we like to tell ourselves it's coming from Hebrew, where it means catalyst or accelerator.
Is there anything those of us in other industries (software, 3D printing) can do to increase production capacity of those special purpose bespoke machines?

Yes, I think it has too many followers right now. Perhaps it returns to 'normal' after the hype wears off. It has happened before just not to this scale.
In some domains stability and correctness is a feature.

You can't omit stability in life-critical software for example.

On the other hand software's usefulness can outinfluence unstability, if there are no alternatives.
I bought the HD600 last year and it came with the 6.3mm to 3.5mm removable adaptor. This was in Europe maybe the cabling is different, or there are multiple packagings for different use cases (likely). The cables are removable so its easy for them to have different SKUs.
They have a clear incentive to exaggerate a) the effectiveness of the drugs, and b) how well they understand how they work. There is an important distinction between knowing how drugs affect brain chemistry, vs knowing how they alleviate symptoms. The latter is still more empirical than theoretical.
