It wasn't particularly a sentence or anything. I can try my best to explain though.

> the head of the creative department asks me if the courses I would be expected to teach should even exist. “No,” I wish I had said

Threw me off. I read the comments first which suggested this was something about changing desires in life. But three days into an interview she wanted she seems to have changed her mind? With no further explanation. I guess we assume she didn't get this job, but it's not clear why she lost her enthusiasm so quickly and months before the rest of this story.

After that there's an explanation of plots in fairy tales that switches jarringly again into another line I'm not totally sure how to interpret about bread. Its also the title, I expect it to be important.

Tying the fairy tale plot lines back to her sons pointless work was interestingly done. But i feel like I missed how it fit into the bigger picture of this article.

> “I can see the wheat,” she says, “growing in the field from outside my window.” I watch a video on how to harvest wheat. I can’t believe I have no machete. I can’t believe I spent so many hours begging universities to hire me,

This I don't really get how she goes from wheat to needing machete to cut it to questioning why they want a job

> I feel like I’m in Gertrude Stein territory

I didn't get this reference, so I think a lot of the last paragraph was lost on me.

I asked my girlfriend to read it, she really liked it and thought it was well done.
"Should" in an ethical sense often conflicts with "does" in a business sense.
Did they really try though? The Surface RT always felt like a tentative "what do you think?" that got thrown under the bus pretty quick as soon as there was any whining.

When Apple rolls out a product, there's some transitional overlap, but you can see them getting ready to burn their viking ships in that period. Microsoft's efforts always have lacked that kind of commit factor. IMO.
There's nothing wrong with HRW.
And even if there was, it doesn't invalidate NBC and Wikipedia.
It does make sense, and there are forms of delta compression particularly suited to various binary formats, which if combined with a unpacker for compressed files make great sense. However, git does not have an efficient binary diff implemented yet.

LRzip happens to have such a format preprocessor that would make for exceedingly efficient binary history at cost of being more similar to git pack file than incremental versions.

Then again, GitHub in particular sets a very low limit on binary size in version control.

> since you could rotate serial numbers

Wait, maybe I'm confused, but isn't the point behind rotating serial numbers that the person couldn't just click ignore? But how much sense does that make, if people are routinely ignoring tracking devices glued to their cars instead of finding and disabling them, that seems like... a problem. A tracking device that decides to re-alert you to its presence rather than remain hidden and silent seems like a less dangerous tracking device, rather than the other way around.
> this seems to be about uber activities outside the US

Wrong. This is Uber transferring money all around the world through shell companies so it's hard to figure out where it came from. Just like a crypto-mixer. This quote alone shows how they initially transferred a good chunk of money out of the US: Uber transferred its intellectual property through a $16 billion “loan” from one of its subsidiaries in Singapore that in turn owns one of Uber’s Dutch shell companies, a manuever that grants the company a $1 billion tax break every year for the next 20 years

> the US is actively working on what it is calling a global minimum corporate tax

Never gonna happen. The govt's collection of federal taxes within the US is already technically illegal[1]. This is political fluff talk coming from the do-nothing Democrats.

> anonymous shell companies were made illegal in the US in January

Companies with more than 20 full-time employees, $5 million in annual sales, and a physical presence (i.e. a PO Box) are excluded from these new regulations[2]. This is more political fluff to bamboozle the peasantry. Its actual intention is to box out competition and build moats around the current ivory towers.

I've got a weird case here in The Netherlands about mebendazole. These are pills that kill intestinal parasites, which is important for my child who is at the age where they touch everything and anything, and then suck their thumb.

Mebendazole has been sold out for about half a year now. I had two strips stashed away, and I needed those for my child. Only last week, I could buy new ones.

It is about coming to terms with not getting what you worked for. And about process of adapting to lockdown, trying to come to terms with it and comparing the two.
> Our status as a free society rests, not on laws, but on convention, a “collective instinct” about what we ought to do, rooted in habits of thinking and feeling that develop slowly...

If enough people in a society believe freedom is less important than the alternative, laws don't really matter. People had a collective instinct that a threat was more important than freedom. It was rare, at least in the US for example, for courts to step in during the pandemic to correct blatant violations of Equal Protection. The US Supreme Court took months to declare the California ban on religious assembly unconstitutional. For months you could assemble in a Costco or a Target but not a Church.

While some might argue it was for the best intentions, public health, etc., I think Pandora's Box is wide open. If 9/11 and the War on Terror taught me anything, it's that we will never completely go back to what life looked like before this thing.

"I wanted a university ID. I wanted access to a fancy library and benefits and students and colleagues and travel money. I wanted the whole stupid kingdom. “And then what? ... You’re better off,” says my mother."

When I arrived at college, I soon thought I wanted that. It took me years to get over the college movies, and music, and stories, and to see the place as it was. Lots of great people, lots of great resources, and ... the time.

A few of the profs whose courses I took seemed to actually have the gift, enjoyed teaching ... they measurably helped me to improve my capabilities. Some clearly were unsatisfied, read from the same notes every year, made fun of the popular courses. One, whose office I only glanced in on once from curiosity, jumped off a bridge.

It's a complex world, and not always a fit one for outsiders. Now and then I still wonder what might have been. But the books, movies, music ... they're fairy tales.

I use a very simple Makefile to install and remove my dotfiles. If you want to add a new one it's simply a case of creating a directory and adding your config file to it and running `make up` (with `down` to remove)

You can change any of the files by accessing them via your .dotfiles directory or in their normal place - they're just symlinks.

Replying to myself as I don't want to start a flamewar in which each side is clearly strongly biased, therefore with zero chances of changing opinion.

In a war there are potentially no good people; war makes everyone capable of committing atrocities if there is a higher motivation. During WWII the insurgents in my country did nasty things as well, but the ultimate goal was to fight against the Nazi, which were a greater evil, heavily armed and more numerous. In such a situation you don't think twice but rather throw at the enemy every weapon you have. That's why I don't judge Palestinians if they also do bad things as I'm pretty sure that if they could they would rather hit an armed tank rather than a car with a family inside, but as the Ustinov line says, terrorism is the war of the poor, and they are just fighting with what they have at hand, also with no control on how events are reported.

Regarding who started it, there are well known maps that give an idea on who invaded who.

This is not the only one, and minor inaccuracies, if any, don't invalidate the trend that is shown there.

Feel free to dissect each and every sentence of my post in order to find six lines to hang me Richelieu style, but be aware that the more effort you put in this the more you reveal to be a lot more biased than I am.

There won't be any more replies by me on this subject. Now back to technical stuff.

She did not changed her mind. And answered yes. And she did not get the job. The wishing to say no is something that comes only later. It would not change a thing.

Not sure why you’re being downvoted, but agreed. Tonnes of apps want to support SSO, and most modern SSO systems use Open ID Connect, where the id tokens are JWTs. If you want to let your users login via Google, Facebook, Okta, whatever, then you’ll be dealing JWTs.

And once you’re doing that, it’s a small step to say:

“even if my users want to signup/login via username and password, I’d rather not manage that myself. I’d rather use a 3rd party system to store the passwords, implement MFA and password recovery and signup/login forms and whatnot, and just trust the id tokens from that system.”

Auth0, Keycloak, FusionAuth, etc. And again you’ll be dealing with OIDC and JWTs.

If you want to manage your own usernames, passwords, signup/login pages, password reset flows, MFA flows, etc., then yeah, I’d go with traditional sessions stored in a db/cache that you manage, and auth tokens are just session ids. But if you want to outsource all of that, plus support SSO, then the id token you deal with will not be traditional session tokens, they’ll most likely be JWTs issued by someone else, where you just verify the signature.

I will say it was conspicuously absent in this epidemic - if you ask a lot of epidemiologists, myself included, what the thing we most didn't expect about the epidemic, it's how aggressively a number of national governments, including the U.S., abdicated their usual role in response.

I'm curious (genuinely), how do you feel about art, paintings, music, and poetry in general?

Do you find yourself gravitating to Realism? [1] Or are you comfortable with the abstract?

Because I think it's not just about feelings. It's about the comfort with abstractions. The writer is writing EXTREMELY specific narratives that are meant to evoke extremely RELATABLE general feelings. And she is incredible at it. It's a real skill.

But it's okay if you don't grasp it. This stuff isn't automatic. However, I will say that you could learn to appreciate it, if you were so inclined.

It's really not the honor system. If you verify with a type checker, you are proving that various type errors are impossible, provided that the caller respects the type system. The rigor is exactly the same, it's just that the type system allows for "gradual typing" so that it doesn't need to be strict as in a fully-typed language.
Ask HN: Where can I learn about integrating services with my app?
I have a really early stage idea/app. It's basically a WYSIWYG editor for internal purposes. The goal is to make it simpler to bust out simple websites for clients and the plan is to make it available to clients to use if I can get the UI intuitive enough. I'm confident I can get this done, but then I thought, "Why stop there? What if that works out and I want to scale to everyday people? How would I deploy their freshly designed website to something like Vercel without them knowing what Vercel was? How can I get form submissions emailed to them? Use our own mail provider account or can I create their own account?"

So far, we've been setting up Netlify, GitHub, Mailgun, etc. accounts manually and adding API keys where needed. How would I get accounts created with certain services providers programmatically? Is it normal to contact these providers for specific instructions?

I'm wondering how Netlify got things started with letting users manage DNS or their Forms service. I noticed Gatsby Cloud partnered with Fastly for their hosting. Would big companies even respond to me?

And most importantly, would it even be worth it to someone with limited resources?

At the very minimum, my goal is to have a user-friendly React app that has a "Deploy to Netlify" and/or "Deploy to Vercel" button, but I'd appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction to learn about this.
I once had to leave a meeting to find a keyboard to be able to relay a password to someone over the phone by looking at what I was typing.
Capacity Planning: Why It's Important and How to Use It in FMCG Industry
The process of balancing production capacity with sales demand is referred to as capacity planning and it is used across the FMCG industry, from food supply chains to many more.

It is an essential aspect of manufacturing. Besides production, the grocery supply chain management can be applied to almost any FMCG endeavor with difficulty meeting demand.

The logistics management software solutions also extend to service sectors, retail and commercial sales, information technology, government agencies, and so on.

Software in this industry is most often used to arrange production to meet short- and medium-term needs, but it's also an integral part of long-term strategic and organizational planning.

Formal preparations and run-throughs of the entire supply chains occur once per year in most organizations. This isn't ideal and an iterative model of the operation, which takes into account market demands, production capabilities, and order fulfillment, can be fulfilled better with the help of production capacity planning software.

What Is warehouse inventory management software? How does it work?

Capacity planning is the process of deciding a production line, operation department's, or function capacity to satisfy a specific demand over time across FMCG and the food supply chain. This includes using grocery supply chain software in the steps that must be taken to change the system's ability to satisfy demand.

This can then be used to evaluate a capacity plan that not only satisfies demand but also meets certain requirements such as lowest overall cost, highest throughput, and on-time delivery.

If I wanted that, I would be using something like Venmo, instead of Bitcoin.
I would agree but I am adding the people that pay for the coders work into this equation ("managers"), and they need function in time. Some (most?) of them seem to consider the design decisions the coders problem. It's in the coders interest to make the code easily expandable, integrable, reusable, readable, to make the coders life easier, to allow them to easily meet the business goals.

Of course every programmer would like to make the best design, but sometimes there's no time for it, and that's when slow/fast/experiensed characteristics come into play

I sometimes hear teacher friends blurt that they’re not sure their job has any meaning. And I kind of understand in that it is supposed to be a glorified role, and at the same time it may have no direct real world impact and just be imposed boredom on unwilling pupils.

But teaching at a uni for instance is a big deal career wise, identity wise. You end up doing something that you love ans bring some riches, but may not matter at all to those you teach, is highly seen from the rest of the world and becomes your whole value proposition to outsiders.

Compared to that, motherhood has exactly the opposite proposition (lowish social regard, super high impact on someone’s life) while not being so different fundamentally.

A pandemic like COVID-19 is never going to be about the deaths. Those that have died are a tragedy for all those who knew them, but for the most part death at these rates is only ever going to have a minimal impact on large societies.

What is IS about is the impact of the disease on public health. You'll remember, perhaps, "flatten the curve". The biggest, scariest problem is not how many people die from COVID-19 (or even suffer from long COVID, or after effects of the infection).

It's what happens when your public health system is overloaded. Every single thing that requires that system (i.e. more or less any healthcare situation that can't be resolved via teledoc or its equivalent) is now a potentially fatal situation. People die from COVID-19 because of the overload, but they would also die from car accidents, knife accidents, serious bacterial infections and more - all of which may have been successfully treated had the system not been overloaded.

The fear of COVID-19 should never have been about how many were going to die of it (or even suffer long term issues). That's certainly bad enough. But the fear was a system overload, with the concomittant side-effects of that. COVID-19 is extremely contagious, was a novel virus that no human had immunity to, and requires hospitalization in enough cases that public health system overload was extremely likely (and has happened in many places around the world, at least for some period).

The various parts of societies responsible for messaging failed quite significantly at getting this message across. Your message is yet another example of that.
