thanks for this wonderful William James quote and the links. I've yet to read him and I already sense from this quote I like his way with words.

From what I understand Nietzsche himself didn't have too many great things to say about Schopenhauer. He must have rubbed people the wrong way wherever he went and perhaps the only way for him to ever be recognized is be dead long enough so the writing is removed as far as possible from the man.

For all those saying that ARIA trumps semantic elements, consider that for basic interactions semantic elements come out of the box keyboard accessible.

For example, a <button> will have default tabindex=0 and respond to spacebar key presses, but you'd have to add that yourself if you put role=button on a <div>.

In short, if there is a semantic element that matches your need, use it.

This is what mid-sized American cities have been saying for about 75 years, most of which adopted this plan with zeal. And it's been a total failure. It turns out you can't save Downtown by making it easier for suburbanites to get there. Whatever you think of that approach from first principles, the evidence at this point is overwhelming. It does not work.
>The only one that still jumps out to me is browser extensions—I'm pretty sure none of the major browsers allow that without user approval within the browser. You'd have to do something nasty which would require root.

I've admittedly never tried it, but as far as I understand, installing an extension in Firefox just involves copying the corresponding .xpi file to the profile folder (which is owned by the user, not root) and modifying a few configuration files (e.g. extensions.json). I don't see why some other program wouldn't be able to do that.

If root access were required, you'd have to supply your root password every time you wanted to install an extension.

It looks like it is mean reversion. This is my first time hearing that term.

The way I discovered this algorithm was initially I wanted to buy the previous day's best performing sector ETF, with a hypothesis that the momentum would continue. But I learned that it actually ended up losing money.

So I decided to inverse the algorithm. There are still a few optimizations I can test out, e.g. Buying the previous day's worst performing sector.
> a test that fails if a new API endpoint isn't mentioned [...]

That's a great idea. A related thought I had was testing assertions about architecture by looking at the graph of imports or calls.

From your blog post,

> if a change doesn’t update the relevant documentation, point that out in your review!

What you get at but don't seem to state explicitly is that finding the relevant documentation is hard, for both the author and reviewer. Finding any relevant documentation should be easy, but ideally we're finding all relevant documentation, and we need to be reaching sufficient confidence that we're missing little enough that we're able to hold back entropy enough to keep the docs useful.

Your tools address this for some cases! Doctest addresses this for other cases. From TFA here, it sounds like Swimm.io tries to address this for more cases (my gut says the article oversells it but I intend to look more closely).

To get further, an idea I've been toying with is to treat claims (implicit or explicit) in documentation as requiring citation, pointing not at sources but at tests. Ideally the test runner, when a test fails, can then surface all references to that test. In addition to highlighting portions of the docs that may need to change, this seems likely to also provide crucial context when fixing the code and/or the test.
This is nonsensical extrapolation probably hundreds of years into an ideal future. We aren't there yet and we won't be there for a long time at the current rate of things. Diverting an asteroid of any significant mass is functionally impossible even given years notice today.
Sure, there are still plenty of places you can drive in Leiden. I guess the point I’m trying to make is small cities in North America favour car transportation to an extreme. It is to the point where it’s physically dangerous to walk to some places because their aren’t even sidewalks and traffic travels much faster inside the cities than you’d ever see in the Netherlands.

Compared to small cities in North America, Leiden infrastructure is amazing — as is a lot of Dutch towns. It not that you have to completely block off all roads either. It’s just that everywhere there are roads for cars, there’s also equal space for bike and pedestrians and public transit is invested in much more.

Being written in an object-oriented language doesn't make code object-oriented. I could write Java using classes as (namespaces for stateless functions) XOR (structs with no methods), and while it'd still technically all be objects and methods, in practice it wouldn't embody the spirit of OOP at all.

It is in keeping with the spirit of OOP to wrap up different entities' data in separate objects and have them interact with each other through methods. Exposing all of every entity's data to the world and letting unaligned actors unilaterally mutate many entities' state with no middle man is very un-OO, even if you dress it up in classes and methods.
Downvoting usually means people don't understand your comment or don't like it, so I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

> You've broken the site guidelines repeatedly and egregiously in this thread. We ban accounts that do that.

What guidelines have I "repeatedly and egregiously" broken in this thread? Was it the pointing out that a monetary gain is not a requirement for a conflict of interest? Was it where I asked the other poster if they thought Fauci had a duty of care to disclose his involvement in activities that some might see as a conflict of interest? Was it pointing out the fact that Fauci is the highest paid government official in the federal government (with citation)? Was it referencing and quoting Fauci's paper from 2012? Or was it me pointing out the other poster's bad faith responses to my comments (with the "Aw jeez")?

I've read the HN guidelines and this decision is not inline with them.

The results of some European cities doing basically this suggest that the city economy likely wouldn't really suffer (and in fact could improve in many cases).

That said you don't need to completely eliminate cars; blocking through traffic and severely restricting car parking can have much the same effect. If you can take a direct route on foot/by bike but have to take a more circuitous route by car, more people will do the former.
In other countries textbooks are cheap because (as you say) the subject matter is more or less agreed-upon so there are just a few different textbooks largely distinguished by the quality of the writing and presentation.

In the US students are treated as a captive audience and publishers work hard to get professors and education authorities to specify particular books, which are then sold at a very high mark-up. The incentives ought to be purely academic but in practice are often material or financial.

You can’t invest market cap. It’s just a figure you arrive at by multiplying two numbers: number of currency units/price per currency unit. It doesn’t exist anywhere.

If I found a pebble on the beach and sold it to someone for 10 cents, and if we assume there are a trillion pebbles on this planet, then the market cap of pebbles would be $100 billion. But you wouldn’t be able to use this “value” anywhere, because it doesn’t exist.

Atomic rename is useful, but one of the points of not having it is that it makes these giant distributed file systems much much easier.

Building DBs on top of these systems is done, but they always try to be shard aware to avoid cross shard interactions. Atomic rename across shards tends to suck. These interactions tend to be where lots of not fun problems with latency and errors happen.

Both following statements can be true at the same time:

1) It is possible for many to work their way through the labour ladder and find good life.

2) “The System” can incentivise corporations to maximise transfer of wealth towards the top brass without incentivising it to raise wages any more than only to keep people from leaving.

As ludicrous as it may be to blame Apple, they have said many times that the cut they take on apps and in-app sales is part of how they keep the platform secure and ensure the privacy of their customers.[0] While it's clear to me that they can't really do that, I don't think we can expect the average purchaser of the iPhone to understand just how far-fetched these claims really are. In my opinion, Apple is giving them a false sense of security that can be very dangerous.

Perhaps if Apple was held responsible for these kinds of expensive mishaps they would be more honest in their marketing. Maybe. And that's kind of the point of this article. :-P

Privacy and security are not the same thing. Also, an app can follow all the privacy and security guidelines and still use dark patterns to mislead and get something from you that you wouldn’t otherwise give up or outright defraud you. I’m sure Apple makes a good faith attempt at preventing that as well but they can’t catch everything.

And perhaps ironically, about 6% of Argentine exports to China are "Fish, crustaceans, molluscs, aquatics invertebrates".

The World Bank says[2] that exports make up 14.25% of Argentine GDP. Assuming no substitution, if China cut off all Argentine exports, it would therefore reduce Argentine GDP by 1.56% -- a very big deal. There would of course be substitution, so that's a weak upper bound.

And maybe an extremely weak one. According to this[3] (apparently Australian news outlet which I admit I've never heard of), China's trade sanctions against Australia following the latter's suggestion that the world look more into the origins of the coronavirus only reduced Australian exports to China by 2%.

This isn’t true. Semantic HTML is also very important, often more so.

> Unless you're doing SEO, everything semantic is just a distraction.

This is also not true. Besides actively harming accessibility (or making it substantially more difficult to improve), non-semantic HTML also breaks Reader Mode. And it can also add cognitive burden to maintenance and future feature work.
