Curious what people's experiences are wrt library development within an enterprise. I've been at organizations where basically everything was done via services and there was very little library usage, and I always thought that was suboptimal. Now I'm at a place where we utilize lots of libraries and they seem to pose pretty significant costs of their own.

A typical example is if we need to do something that the library doesn't support, we're faced with an unpleasant choice of updating the library itself or doing some sort of workaround/hack. The former shouldn't be that difficult, but in cases where a library was written by a different team, updating can be painful if you don't have someone with experience with the library/domain on your team, or if you have to jump through approval hoops.

I suppose this is more an ownership/organizational problem and applies to services as well, but somehow dealing with library dependencies feels more onerous.
Good point. My house's original wood is from 1998, so no risk of lead paint. Even in old houses, a lot of framing lumber was never painted though, so it should be safe to use.
We need to build all forms of renewable energy and stop falling into the trap of "Build X not Y" where X and Y are one of solar/wind/hydro/nuclear. One form is insufficient.

Nothing will get accomplished with this climate 'whataboutism' type of argument. (I'm making a comparison to whataboutism, I recognize the difference)

There are many ways to pressure the political spectrum, one of them is to take a stance on refusing import from the country - that will trickle up to the top of the spectrum.

It's not particularly impactful for a company to do on it's own due to the size of the chinese economy (we'd need a coordinated national effort) but if the Uyghur Genocide is something you feel strongly about as a business owner you can probably relocate to other suppliers without that much of a raise in cost.
Yes, but their thinking is that if they don’t get a raise, they should pay what non-union workers pay.
The country that did the most racial/religion targeted bombing for the past 40+ years (US) is ”uncomfortable" with reeducation camps to deradicalize the terrorists they helped create/train with the assistance of Turkey and Saudi.

it's not twisted logic, it's about having a grounded definition of freedom. Freedom is going over the street at night and being safe, or being able to open your shop and not getting sick, or having clean water coming out of the tap.

Governments derive their legitimacy from their ability to function and deliver for their constituents, if you think lofty notions of human rights are a replacement for safety and prosperity, if you're actually creating a narrative where you imply the Western model is free but broke, rather than free and improves material conditions, you may not like how quickly people reject said values.

> Is there am American industry that is heavily unionized that is globally competitive?

Hollywood.

Everyone from the highest paid stars to the set-builders are union members - you literally cannot say a word on film if you're not union, and Hollywood is globally competitive in spite of (or because of?) this. The talent is still able to negotiate individually (a common, yet inaccurate aspersion thrown at unions is that someone will take over role of negotiations - but that's just for the baseline)

For contrast, the ancillary VFX industry is not unionized, and there are endless horror stories of exploitation there.
Snowpack uses ESM for development which allows really fast HMR. And ESBuild is used for production builds. Best of both worlds.
In many subfields of biology, women have achieved numerical parity at all levels (IE, there are roughly 50% women in entry and leadership positions). It seems like some highly quantitative fields which have traditionally been male-dominated (CS, physics) may very well be practicing some sort of entry discrimination. It's unclear what the full set of contributing factors are.
No interest in money is an extreme position to take. Small differences in interest can lead to big differences in outcome. There is also some time lag with this data, studies have shown boys doing worse academically over time (relative to girls) so the age group in 2015 is largely in school, university, or just entering the workforce. Women in their 20's already outperform men in their 20's in earnings and we don't yet know if that trend is going to carry on into later years given new ability gaps. It hasn't carried on historically due to a wide variety of reasons including the adverse affects of maternity leave on careers but we haven't seen an academic gap of this magnitude between the genders either before so that may be changing. It's also worth noting that a lot of top earning careers are looking at a slice of top performers academically, and the distribution of academic performance for males tends to be higher variance so even with a lower average we may see similar numbers of top performers in both genders.
This has historically been true in India, but mostly because only smarter, more upper-class girls (so those actually interested in education) were allowed to study beyond the primary school level. Boys need a college degree no matter the circumstance, and thus drag the average down.
Federated means everyone gets to pick which server they use, including one that's specific to just that one user.
From a personal perspective (Indian here), it feels odd that this would make news. I've been a fairly good "performer" at high school and have always had a hard time getting the better of my girl classmates. The acad stuff just seemed too easy for them. They'd remember and recall things so well and that would make me curse under my breath. Their language and general maturity was also much better that I could hope for at that point.
Yea, it's not a great experience; fortunately, yarrr! thar be options, matey!

Can you define what you mean by “less sophisticated” and what you think drives this discrepancy?

The irony to me is that I see a lot of comments on HN that would indicate many don’t have much knowledge of how unions work, so I don’t know that the claim of sophistication holds true in every domain
The Amazon Go stores in Seattle and (even before full auto was outlawed) in SF are more heavily staffed than a normal store.

This makes sense since they're not "in full prod" so to speak, unless that's changed.
I own a Model 3. So far, about 20 months in, it has been a very reliable car that has required close to zero maintenance. I can’t say that for any other of the 10 or so cars I’ve owned. It’s a pleasure to drive. I only use auto pilot on long trips, and I find that where conditions require me to turn it off (weather, bad road marking, etc), I feel less safe.

The biggest reason to own a Tesla, vs. any other EV, is for charging on long trips. I’m sure others will catch up and I hope so, but for now, it’s the only sane choice unless you’re just commuting.
I feel like I keep seeing headlines like this, but nothing really changes. No country has the power, authority or even the international political weight to stand up to China. In generations to come we're going to look back at this moment and marvel at how everyone knew it was happening (unlike Nazi Germany where the allies only found out towards the end of the war) and yet done nothing about it. The current US administration cares more about curbing China's international political and financial influence rather than perhaps the biggest humanitarian issue since the Rwandan Genocide
> China has simultaneously pursued a dual systematic strategy of forcibly sterilizing Uyghur women of childbearing age and interning Uyghur men of child-bearing years,

> According to Government statistics and directives, including to “carry out family planning sterilization,” “lower fertility levels,” and ”leave no blind spots,”

> China began building a vast network of massive State- run, highly securitized boarding schools and orphanages to confine Uyghur children, including infants, full time.

> local authorities have eliminated Uyghur education, destroyed Uyghur architecture and household features, and damaged, altered, or completely demolished the vast majority of mosques and sacred sites in the region,

I had not heard of any of this before today. The news only talked about internment, surveillance, and forced labour.

I feel like this is an argument against money, not necessarily cryptocurrencies in general and even less against Bitcoin specifically.

Yes, creating opportunities will lead to people who don't really need it taking advantage of those opportunities. But, it also means that people who really need opportunities can take those too, as it's a open network.

So yes, richer gets richer while the poorer is getting poorer. At least cryptocurrencies are leveling the field a bit, so the the poor has a bigger chance out of poverty. As someone who used to be poor, I welcome the new War In the Status Quo.

One of the most horrific actions in this genocide was when the Chinese Air force bombed a wedding in Xinjiang, killing 37 people - many innocent women and children.

Oops! That was the US Air force 13 years ago, bombing a couple hundred kilometers southwest of Xinjiang, in a bordering country ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wech_Baghtu_wedding_party_ai... ).

It's illustrative how Americans get up in arms about how the Chinese dealing with Muslim terrorists in their own country deal with human rights, while they have flown across the world to perform massacres in the country on Xinjiang's western border.

One need-not single out a nation-state in "-free" designations.

If WTO membership and global free-trade were predicated on certain civil-rights ground rules like: a free press, demonstrable rule of law, democratically elected governance, due process, and a complete absence of concentration camps, the world would be a better place.

Not only would it address the plight of the Uyghur people and the travesty that is occurring in Hong Kong, but it might grant the inmates at Guantanamo fair and open hearings.

I have 10 virtual desktops, accessible with the keyboard shortcut Super+[0-9].

I essentially use it as a faster alternative to tab switching, by grouping types of applications in different desktops.

- My main text editor can always be reached with Super+1.
- Most of my browser windows are at are Super+2 (tab switching between multiple windows)
- Super+3 is has my terminal sessions
- Super+4 has my dashboards and things like Jupyter notebooks
- Super+5, Super+6 don't get used that much
- Super+7 is for media - cmus, Spotify, etc
- Super+8 is for Zotero and papers I am reading, as well as ebooks and such
- Super+9 is for my email client
- Super+0 is for my social apps, such as those stored in a Rambox-like, Element, cwtch, Signal, and others.

I haven't bothered with any automatic grouping, and I can easily send a given window to a given desktop with Super+Shift+[0-9].

This isn't as deep as what some power users do. But it saves me a lot of keystrokes, and helps me feel organised.
Sorry, I didn't meant to come across as angry, I'm not. I'm just disillusioned with the constant nickle and dime'ing in this world. I get it, they need money, but in a better world, we wouldn't be charging hobbyist's for bits of standard data.

We can point fingers at other companies, or, if enough people agree with me, we can pressure them to be less greedy or we could start a new standard body that works for us.

There's lots of things we can do if it bothers us. Doing nothing, however, isn't interesting to me.
Performing well academically usually means that the student is good at at completing assignments in a way that aligns with the teachers grading rubric. I think boys have a certain contempt for that for a variety of reasons (at least mine do) so they focus their attention on how to work around the system, which probably yields an advantage later in the workplace.
Maybe not savory flavoured but you can get beef and pea protein powders easily.

I would not recommend the later for flavour though unless you really like peas.
There's also the major factor of children. Women get a lot of scolding from society if they prioritize their career over children. Men generally aren't shamed to such a degree, and workaholic dads are even lauded as being "diligent bread winners."

Also, for many moms, working late in the office isn't even an option. They have to leave the office before day care closes. Or, in the case of women who can't afford day care, they have to take inferior job offers with inferior hours to work around their kids' school and care schedule. These things can make it extremely hard to be viewed as "managerial material" and rack up promotions. (Of course, dads face these issues too, and single dads have it especially hard. But it's statistically more likely to impact moms.)

Also, men just aren't as concerned over how much their significant other makes. Women, on the other hand, tend to more heavily judge the worthiness of a date on their career and income. So there's more incentive for men to chase after high paying, high power careers.
What's probably missing from the article is the giant caveat of almost all educational research, which is: *as measured by grades*
The UX of a human being is only good if you have a common language. I'm not fluent in Swedish, so for me the ability to read the text on the machine instead of listen to it is a plus. Of course, I can ask the cashier to talk English to me, but that also has some friction to it.

And I only regularly go to two different supermarkets, so once I know their flow, there's nothing new to it. In contrast, humans seem to like to change their interface quite regularly, even between customers...
> Why do giant companies do so many hilariously dumb things?

Implicit here is the claim that giant companies do hilariously dumb things a greater fraction of times than small companies, but I have seen absolutely zero evidence of that.

If you think the buttons in Gmail are bad, check out the UI of almost any site or app made by a randomly chosen small company. Doing things well is hard and doing things not very well is often sufficient. We take for granted that small businesses are kinda crappy at almost everything and yet still we get what we need done and the world moves on.

For example, my local luxury chocolatier is Theo. They have a very nice looking website. Take a look at the chocolate finder: https://theochocolate.com/chocolate-finder. It tells you to input a "postal code" which to most means a zip code (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postal_code). But when you type in a number, it tries to autocomplete addresses so you end up on some random street at an address that starts with your zip code. This is literally me picking the first small-ish business I could think of and clicking around for less than a minute.

We notice the mistakes of giant companies because we spend 99% of our life these days interacting with them and because the mean quality out of giant companies is somewhat higher, so the mistakes stand out as relatively worse.
Isn't that a distraction from the real issue? If people want filter bubbles (for themselves but not others like usual) it doesn't matter who made a particular one. People don't want spam or crap they will never agree with and want stuff they are interested in.
Eww, only 0.5 Hz tuning accuracy on that 440 Hz? That’s two cents (2⁄100 of a semitone). As an amateur with a not-terribly-high-quality piano I’d be ashamed to tune it two cents off; you really want to get within one (and you need the difference between same-pitched strings to be a good deal finer than that). I’d expect less than half a cent from a professional tuner on a decent-quality piano.

Unless the spec goes into more restrictive detail, you could tune a piano’s A440 honky tonky (roughly: one string 439.5 Hz, one string 440.5 Hz) and still be ISO-16:1975–compliant.
>Having babies and raising them fully--especially doing it well--is not avoiding work.

It was pretty obvious from the context that the person you're replying to meant "working" as in "working a job for money".
You also can’t have mathematical equality with some fields dominated by women, like nursing.

If every field is 50% or better in women, you need a heck of a lot more women.

This is such projection. I have 0 regrets about not buying into Bitcoin (or any other hyped up blockchain tech). It represents the absolute worst of capitalism, selfishness, and anti-intellectualism. I sleep soundly at night having had 0 involvement. Also perfectly happy in my decisions to avoid: buying a lottery ticket ever, joining any MLM in existence, working for a hedge fund, hoarding XBoxes to re-sell them, etc.

> Now it is all about how Bitcoin is a ponzi, key reason for climate change and solves no issues whatsoever. Maybe all those things are correct (I don't know) but it sure was a good way to make a lot of money -- and most of the people here just missed it.

Annnnnd exactly demonstrating what I'm referring to. "These criticisms might be fully correct. I don't know! But it sure was profitable!" What a disgusting way of looking at the world.

Clearly not.
Cool product! Can you elaborate on the regulatory framework you guys operate under? I am surprised to see so little data collection for such high volumes (up to $10,000 / day). Do you guys have a BitLicense? Or any MT licenses for the other 49 states?
> The chinese people that build products are not the ones with the concentration camps. Pressure has to be on the top of the political spectrum, not on the regular chinese citizen.

That sounds nice, but your suggestion reduces the available options practically to zero (pretty much left with assassination and pointless sanctions against people with no foreign assets and diplomatic immunity when traveling).

The people at the top of the political spectrum derive a large part of their power from the factories where those regular people work.

There is a pattern to those countries where it's not shrinking:

• An econometric analysis suggests that countries classified as potential newcomers tend to be less democratic

• On the supply side, the dominant driving force is the geopolitical interests of countries that export nuclear power

Another reason people don't often take into account is that men have an extra incentive for earning more money as their worth as a person is judged more upon what they make than it is for a woman (women have other things they are judged more upon). So each dollar, beyond the utility of having an extra dollar, also makes them 'more of a man' to use a phrase that tries to condense all of complexities of society's judgements down into 10 letters. Many of the explanations commonly given, like men being willing to take on more dangerous jobs, can be partly explained by their judgment as a person (and as a parent) being derived from what they make to a stronger extent than for a woman.

>women have no interest in money

Just to clarify, there is a difference between no interest and less interest, and also a difference between interest in money and interest in the status associated with a certain level of salary/income beyond what comes just from the money earned.
