A few problems with this:

1. I'm not sure "internal" vs. "external" is the right dividing line. I've worked for start-ups where doing something scrappy with our external look-and-feel was fine, and on the other hand my previous project was an "internal" tool that had thousands of internal users, which demanded a higher quality.

2. I've seen cases where internal standards slow things down, but I've also seen cases where internal standards speed things up. Yes, if you have to do the same amount of work every time to maintain a high bar, that would slow down CSS work. But we would never say that about bugs in logic, instead we'd say "Use the foo function that so-and-so wrote" and. The problem isn't the standards themselves, it's what corners are cut to achieve them. A "high standard" CSS can help remove friction by helping developers avoid thinking about things that are irrelevant to the task assigned, leading to a more sustainable overall design (see https://www.martinfowler.com/bliki/DesignStaminaHypothesis.h...).

2a. To be more specific about the last point, having a clear design language (we are allowed to use these font sizes and no others; we are allowed to have buttons that look like this one, that one, or the other one; we have to use these colors) forces constraints on developers that can make the overall code base easier to understand and maintain. The constraints remove the possibility of engineers who aren't all that strong in designing user interactions from designing something confusing or buggy.

3. I don't know what this "beforetime" is. I've been working in the industry since 2008. That was three years before Bootstrap's first release which the article mentions as some epochal dividing line. During the entirety of my career, CSS has always been a technology that many developers just don't want to deal with. The only change has been that now a team has 1 person (or maybe 2 people) who are good at writing new CSS definitions on top of a pre-existing CSS framework, whereas before a team had 1 person (or maybe 2 people) who made all the CSS definitions from scratch.

No, those are just schematics leaked from production lines especially repairing stations inside the factory. Computers used on production lines and repairing stations sometimes doesn't even have Intranet access, they just copy those PDF files over.

Then someone sneak the SD card or thumb drives out with the files on it.
Doesn’t this legitimize sex trafficking?
> At issue there is the "foregone conclusion" exception to the 5th amendment.

The unclear part seems to be how strong the evidence needs to be that the device is yours and that the evidence is on there. In this case, his sister testified to both. But would it be strong enough with forensic evidence alone? Unclear.

> As far as I understand things you've lost the case by that point anyway.

Perhaps, but there may still be significance to what's on that drive. There may be incriminating evidence there for other crimes for which you're not yet being prosecuted.

> Even then, I believe there would still be the additional issue of demonstrating that the defendant actually knows the password.

They're saying the sister's testimony was sufficient to prove that he knew the passwords previously.

Proving present-day capability to decrypt doesn't seem to be necessary, at least in the article I linked.

> The federal court denied the Motion to Quash and directed Doe to unlock the devices for the investigators. Doe did not appeal, but he refused to unlock some of the devices, claiming that he had forgotten the passwords. He was eventually held in contempt by the District Court, and the Court ordered that he remain in federal custody until he was willing to unlock the devices.

The accused claimed he could not decrypt the hard drive because he had forgotten the passwords, but he was still being held in contempt.
I interview a lot of candidates for my company. More generally, dedicated UI developers are becoming harder to find in my experience. More often, I see “full stack” devs who turn out to be back-end devs with some exposure to UI development, mostly with big, popular frameworks like Angular, which simultaneously hide and increase complexity, adding lots of layers of abstraction. Much less do I see strong CSS knowledge and experience. I think much of this must come from the proliferation of UI libraries like Bootstrap and Foundation, where most of the design is done for you (even the responsive bits) so mostly all you have to do is copy and fill in boilerplate code. Don’t get me wrong, this is great and it saves a ton of time, allowing most projects to get away with not even having a single dedicated UI/UX resource, but it also means there are fewer and fewer UI generalist out there who actually know what’s really happening in the browser. Back in the day before all these fancy frameworks, I had a lot of time to luxuriously tinker with CSS and core Javascript, and I even developed a few of my own, admittedly horrible by modern standards, custom UI “frameworks”. These days that would be unheard of.

This is s very long-winded way of saying I generally agree with the article’s sentiments. CSS is no longer a core skill because it doesn’t really need to be, which is both good and bad.

It permits victims of sex trafficking to go to law enforcement without being arrested for prostitution by unsympathetic cops.

Yes, they even brag about it in their marketing materials: https://www.cellebrite.com/en/a-practical-guide-to-checkm8/

Could you help explain why you think that would be the case?

Sex trafficking can still be prosecuted. In general, though, prosecuting the victims of crimes doesn't make it any easier to prosecute those who victimized them.
why is this on HN tho?

I agree that, from a commercial point of view, databases have been shown to need management.

> As to harm to the open source ecosystem, cloud providers wrapping managed services around databases has been shown to stifle innovation on those open source products

I don't think we agree on this. I think PostgreSQL has improved dramatically in the past 5 years, coinciding with (but perhaps not caused by) its increased adoption by AWS customers. The more customers/users FOSS projects have, the more information they have to work with, and the more interested developers they have to draw contributions from.

But it's OK, we don't need to agree on this point. We can adopt the axiom "MongoDB is more innovative because they have a non-OSI-compliant license". Again, I don't think this is necessarily true, but I can concede it so it doesn't distract us.

> You mention <quote> - why?

The reason requires stretching our imagination just a bit, but I hope you won't see it as philosophical, since real people plan against scenarios like this. Let's say that, today, MongoDB the company is benevolent, and happy to permit anybody who asks to operate their software. Everybody's happy.

At some point in the future, there's some management change, and the company that owns this IP has decided that the best thing they can do is box-in the customers they have, and make other service providers' lives as legally difficult as possible, thanks to the license they switched to in 2018.

Now, in the future, if you want this database management service that we agree is important and necessary, and you don't want to use MongoDB's platform, you're out of luck.

If you stick to databases with an OSI-certified license, you never have to make contingency plans for this future. There will always be a vendor for code with this license, as long as there's sufficient customer demand, until time immemorial.

Because you can not control the tail risk of MongoDB becoming an Orcale-like company (or, for that matter, being acquired by Oracle), you can not rule out the possibility that all vendors will be excluded from offering MongoDB as a service. You need to plan for the worst case, and treat it as a time-bomb.

You might consider this a philosophical argument, but, practically, this is why OSI has rule #6, and it's why the SSPL (and Elastic License) are not OSI-certified.

> Your discussion implies MongoDB's license (and Elastic and now a host of others) prevents people from contributing to MongoDB. It doesn't.

Correct, it doesn't. It prevents them from contributing to software with a license that does not "Discriminate Against Fields of Endeavor" and does not "Restrict Other Software". Which again, doesn't seem like a bad thing today but opens up paths that are otherwise avoidable.

Even if we buy the innovation argument, and even if this change was made with the purest of intentions, it's noncompliance with OSI standards makes it not worth the tail risk for people who want to pick software today that will be serviceable in 15 years.
> This isn't too difficult if you can write the algorithm in software (ie. matlab).

Back in the day, I don't think matlab had any 'export' logic like I think modern copies do. IIRC matlab can emit C code + matlab library calls maybe?
The more legal prostitution gets, the more likely it is to occur in the "sunlight", where it's easier to notice and report problems like sex trafficking (without risking legal trouble yourself just for being in or patronizing the industry). In other words, no, probably the opposite.
Nope.

> The office will continue to prosecute other crimes related to prostitution, including patronizing sex workers, promoting prostitution and sex trafficking, and said that its policy would not stop it from bringing other charges that stem from prostitution-related arrests.
Well still arrest you but we aren’t going to prosecute you

> Either way, to promote PS and get a more engaged team, a manager has to downplay the reality of the situation. This leads to management allowing complicated pet projects, rewrites, and feedback meetings that go nowhere all for the sake of appeasing egos. Engineers tend not to be overly people-savvy but we catch on eventually.

Does it always have to be dishonest? "We need to implement a bog-standard CRUD app for XYZ, so it's a good opportunity to try some new technology stack / make a really polished codebase / ..." ought to be the kind of conversation that you can have.
Any suggestion as to the best method to remove DRM?

I've only bought exactly 1 episode of a TV show from Apple. Because of DRM. If I knew I could remove it easily, I would buy many many shows and episodes.

I'm not against paying for content, I'm against DRM.

I presume it's all out there DRM free, on The Pirate Bay or whatever. I have no interest in that, I'm more than willing to pay for content.
I've been what some might consider a "difficult employee" all my life. I speak up. I don't shut up. I have almost no filter (almost as in I did learn to reformulate things but I still don't shut up). If something stinks I'm not gonna pretend that it smells like roses. I can live with some stink but I'll tell you that it stinks and that I want you to start shoveling it away.

I have had some co-workers or higher ups that probably found it inconvenient and didn't like me (in fact strike the probably - I know for a fact). Yet it has so far not resulted in me being fired, demoted etc. and in fact the opposite has happened. I've been told to never shut up and that they keep me around precisely because I don't.

My luck might obviously run out at some point but so far, from my first internship where I just didn't do the stupid task they gave me and instead replaced their awful sendmail+pop3d setup with a full featured postfix and imap/pop and spam filter combo (well I showed the boss on my last day that I had built it on my computer and what it could do. He offered me a part time job as their network/sysadmin to do it for real on the server and to migrate all their users over) it has worked out. I'm not on 'brilliant jerk level'. Way not brilliant enough and just below jerk ;)
Before the year 2025, when Windows has switched from the NT kernel to the Linux kernel, we will all ask "What exactly is Windows?" (in the spirit of Theseus' ship) and "Is this outcome really Linux on the desktop/laptop?" (in the sprit of No True Scotsman)

To avoid too much theory lol, my perspective is that MSFT views Windows as the trademarks and the 30+ years of backwards compatibility layers (e.g. Direct3D, WinAPIs, etc), and everything else is already expendable (kernel, drivers, etc). Meanwhile, the (slow?) migration to ARM and Web(Electron + derivatives included) will deprecate the compatibility layers too.

FWIW, I think people will still only develop "for Windows" not develop apps "for all Linux distributions", the same way people develop "for iOS/macOS" not "for all *BSD distributions".

MSFT reduces developers and costs because kernel costs become "a relatively large corporate donation" (tiny compared with the reduced developer salaries) and drivers are created by hardware companies instead. Meanwhile, MSFT increases revenue through Azure, consumer services like gaming, consumer electronics (e.g. VR, Surface, etc), enterprise sales "for the support/compatibility", and increased adoption/street-cred given its now "Linux on the desktop, laptop, AR/VR and tablet". Its simply a no-brainer for MSFT.

This is not a new idea: found one of my responses from 2016 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11390719. There is a parent comment describing Windows as "just another Linux distribution", albeit it'll 1. be the most deployed Linux distribution by a lot and 2. continue to have a closed-source UI toolkit (e.g. Cocoa on macOS).
Only if you take a constrained view of what constitutes "property rights."

The emergence of an even worse variant is potentially catastrophic, at least economically - our government can compel Pfizer or Moderna to release the details of the vaccine production process to producers in developing nations or publicly.
Yeah, I agree with most of what you put here. I'm mostly speaking to the articles point where we are in an alternate reality with different built up structures. When thinking about going purely data structure, I was thinking something like Church Encoding[0] or Prolog.

Is that practical today? No. The effort required to get a full program created at that level of detail would be enormous. Technical debt is in itself not a bad thing, and I'm not saying anyone in this realities goal should be no algorithms.

Agreed. The message would be way too earnest without the absurdist elements.

Come to think of it getting frustrated with our interaction with inanimate objects is completely absurd. DE is like the opposite of slapstick.
The video is actually worth watching, this is probably one of the most blatant video game fundraising scams that have ever been attempted, and yet they somehow magically get YC backing.

The people involved have ZERO background experience in making games at all. The demo videos are just free game assets used in every single game dev tutorial.

I'm not sure what this says about the YC approval process... the entire thing is just absolutely hilarious.
Majority of Americans support Medicare for All. But both parties are against it. Marijuana legalization is easier to pass than healthcare because there are no entrenched corporate interests against it:

I don't have data on sex work specifically, but in general criminal fines don't come anywhere near paying for the law enforcement and prosecution apparatus required to get the conviction or plea.
It’s a step towards legalization, which will drive out the criminal trafficking element and lower the cost of doing business. It’s unclear whether that will lead to more or fewer people doing this kind of work, and what kinds of pressures to engage in legal in-person sex work might emerge.
"Gait DNA" and / or WiFi / Bluetooth perhaps?
> Whether or not it's a good idea to arrest/fine people who don't wear masks, I know for a fact that it will lead to disproportionately more black and brown people being at best fined/harrassed or at worst killed by police. So I am against it.

In the context of the US, how does this differ from any other law? It sounds to me like this would lead to a situation where if people make it difficult enough to enforce the law then that law will stop applying to them.
What's the source of your information that some US government agency has control and/or influence over Linux developers? Also in this case, what makes "US" special? Your comment sounds like American exceptionalism all over to me.
I'd rather decide for myself what is "evil" and "poison" rather than have that decision made for me by a search engine who's only job is to return the information I'm asking for. I could want this "evil" information for any number of non-evil reasons, it is not their nor anyone else's job to make that decision on behalf of the user.

Cum Town Listener: Why?
Imho, a significant part of the problem is gerrymandering [1]. A certain party has outsized influence because of gerrymandering (but this shouldn’t absolve moderate/corporate Dems of their failings either, especially with Biden opposing legalization; read the room my dude).

1.8 million voters over the age of 55 age out every year, and election cycles are every two years. We’ll get there eventually (on Medicare for All and marijuana legalization), it’s just a matter of time. Until then, keep knocking it out at the state level. [2]

Some product manager sees that new users aren't using all their "great" features so they schedule emails to educate them.

> This is particularly the case among adults ages 75 and older: Just 32% say marijuana should be legal for recreational and medical use, by far the lowest share for any age category and 21 percentage points lower than adults in the next-oldest age group

Sadly most elected officials fall in these age groups.

Legalizing weed at the Federal level will be a huge win even in states that have already done so. The industry has a very hard time dealing with banking, credit card payments, advertising etc. right now.

Couldn't help themselves. Once they thought of it, they just had to Gopher it.
I was going to say "No, the quoted portion says they'll arrest the johns, not the prostitutes." However, looking at the article, it says:

The Manhattan District Attorney Office's previous policy was to dismiss prostitution cases after the charged individual completed five counseling sessions with service providers. Going forward, it said its Human Trafficking Response Unit will file paperwork to decline formally to prosecute, and to inform the person arrested about purely voluntary services. The text of the new policy notes it does not preclude officials from bringing "other charges that may stem from a prostitution-related arrest."

Which sounds like they will still be doing the arresting of prostitutes, so I think you're actually right...
Still though you’re right, those industries still don’t have has much clout as medical insurance

That’s a bit myopic to claim that the nation’s struggles are due to one party’s inability to achieve a majority, isn’t it? Evil sits on both sides of the aisle.

The Democrats have a majority now and did in 2010. They haven’t even attempted to pass marijuana legalization. I have my theories as to why but they certainly have nothing to do with gerrymandering.
Ah, you've stumbled on the event queuing behaviour of hyperscript:

If a triggering event is received while an event handler is executing, you can specify various behaviours:

https://hyperscript.org/features/on/#queueing

The default is queue last, which will queue the last event and trigger the event handler again once it completes. I agree that is wrong in this case, and so it should specify `queue none` in the handler. I will update the code.

Thank you for taking a close look at the example!
