I think this is an unreasonable interference in the free market. The restaurants are not forced to work with the delivery apps. As loathsome as I am to pay $45 for a Big Mac delivered, the delivery company can charge whatever they want, and the restraunts can choose to pay it, or do their own delivery.
For Austria it has been an equalizer in the 1970 to the 1990 when Socialist parties guaranteed free quality education for everyone and parental leave (for woman back then) of more than a year.

Since then the educational system has been largely privatized, education by means of sheer oversupply completely devalued and turned into a money game. The more money you are willing to pay, the easier it will become to get a degree, mostly unaffected by the cognitive ability of the student. As this fact is increasingly tickling into society, the effect is that education is no longer an equalizer.
No, but that's not what you insinuated, and I feel as though you missed my point - I was simply talking about the reaction by others to a mental condition: saying "you're a biological woman" to a trans woman does about as much good as saying "just be happy" to a depressed person. It doesn't solve anything, and it reduces the very real condition and the effects of said condition down to talking points and virtue signalling.

Having gender dysphoria isn't a thing to be ashamed of, just any other mental health condition is not something to be ashamed of. Saying "you're a biological woman sis" is like saying "we're just going to act like you don't have it because it's shameful".

It doesn't make any sense from me, nor does it make sense to most of the trans individuals I follow. It seems, yet again, to be the allies that cause the most misinformation (just like we faced with the gay marriage debates).
Is blobless a good thing? They still run closed firmware, and on top of that these will never even get updated.

n.b. "anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity."
"Equalizer" was probably the wrong word. It's probably more like, you start somewhere, and do-ing is one of the biggest components in the delta between where you start and where you end. That doesn't mean that in one generation you overcome someone else's head start. But it's still a good, beneficial thing to strive after.
Weirdly, I think sharpness is exactly where PS1 games don't hold up. Metal Gear Solid is less off-putting to go back to than Metal Gear Solid 2. The pixely textures and dim lighting give it some atmosphere, where the extra detail in MGS2 just comes off as very plastic now.

Intelligence, conscientiousness, affluence/social capital- pick any two and you get success on average. That’s about all there is to it. Success could look like making a bunch of money, starting a business, doing research, making interesting art. The point is a smart, hard working person can pretty much choose to do anything and an intelligent person will do fine with an infinite runway regardless of work ethic, etc. To the extent that college used to be a strong signal for those attributes it was also a strong proxy for success. Continually expanding college weakens the signal and the proximate worth of a college degree. In so many words, college for everyone confuses cause for effect - cynically, it’s not universities that make people successful, it’s that people who will succeed in life are overwhelmingly selected by and go to college- moreover, better colleges tend to matriculate people with greater quantities of those attributes. If college ceased to exist, the same cohort would still come out on top. See also, the vast majority of graduates don’t work in their major (education as a signal).

This is painting a bit too broadly - a degree still shows that you can jump through pointless hoops which is valuable to employers and some degrees are valuable in and off themselves because they gate professions that are necessary for society (medicine/engineering). I’d also point out that colleges historically ignored large pools of candidates from certain demographics for political reasons. I suppose there is probably some learning that manages to happen once in a while too, which is worth something if not the cost to society of fueling the higher ed apparatus.
Indeed, well said. Even outside of the realm of gender, the rhetoric of biological essentialism is harmful.

When I see people say things like "biology is what is real", I think about the harm done to every adopted child who is being told that their parent isn't really their parent, that their relationship should not be respected as much as someone who is biologically related to their parents.
I think that in general a good idea to have code reviews with new team members. It gives a good handle to talk about code organization, procedures and team conventions. You can also the new member to review modifications from other team members.

Code reviews become a necessity when you have really awful developers on your team. Fortunately I have not encountered many of them, but there was one developer that managed to make errors in even the simplest modifications.
I will continue to use MaterialUI's Autocomplete.
Wow, that is good documentation. And it's VHDL too (which I prefer to Verilog).
It seems like we'd have to have been extremely lucky for the one Einstein to have been born where he was and not as a subsistence farmer if there were zero potential Einsteins among the subsistence farmer population.
Example paragraph: "With police departments defunded, monuments vandalized and cities torched, Dr. Seuss was soon condemned as racist, Mr. Potato Head scheduled for gender reassignment and free speech restricted by social media oligarchs. So, it wasn’t a surprise to see social justice warriors on the previously welcoming Graduate School of Business campus."

Reality: there are so-far unheeded calls for future defunding, cities are 100% not torched, the Dr Suess company decided to not republish their own books, the Mrs Potato head accessories are now sold comingled with Mr Potato head ones, and private companies have decided that years of abuse should be punished.

Monuments to slave-owners have been vandalized, but IMHO that's a good thing.

This doesn't seem to be a teacher who can step outside of their own skin and see the world from other perspectives.

Looking at the company website, I notice that for all his claims to look for excellence in a color-blind way, the only Black people in the video are poor kids who are presumably being saved. So, not really diverse.

Currently, NFT is about collecting and speculation, which is currently the exact same use case as many collectibles like baseball cards. I believe the space will evolve to allow NFT holders to have additional rights and utility, such as copyright and ability to earn royalties from licensing the art.

NFT is simply provable ownership of a digital asset. What that asset actually is and what it provides is an experimental and evolving space. I think HNers need to think less narrow about this.

I think the gaming and mass-market collectible space will be huge. See NBA Topshot for a recent successful example (~$300 million in sales this year) https://nbatopshot.com/

It also helps dramatically with error internationalization if you're displaying backend errors in the frontend.
It's definitely true that as knowledge and research become deeper and more specialized that few people realistically can be sufficiently immersed in it to even have an idea of what the Hard Problems that are Nonetheless Regarded as Probably Tractable are, let alone the background and time to work on them.

The default Ubuntu PPA did not work for me. Then I found this custom PPA with newer versions: https://launchpad.net/~pipewire-debian/+archive/ubuntu/pipew...

It took a bit of hacking but it was most likely the mess I created earlier (half-way through I realized I had some leftovers from when I tried to build it manually some time ago).

In the end I managed to remove all traces of PipeWire from my system and followed some tutorial which referenced above PPA, without any further problems.
Yeah I want to use inefficient frameworks on top of a 10 year old hardware that barely works with even GTK and QT..
Phones in 2009 worked though. You could buy an iPhone or Android and be confident that you could send a text, or make a phone call, or set an alarm and rely on it to wake you up in the morning.

I wouldn't trust my PinePhone to do any of that, I don't even trust it to reliably boot. I have a feeling mobile is a moving target that FOSS won't ever be able to catch up with. I think we enjoy quality FOSS desktop hardware because the platform is so stable.

"They" has been an acceptable third-person non-determinate singular pronoun since at least the Canterbury Tales:

"And whoso fyndeth hym out of swich blame, They wol come up..."

That your English teachers were misinformed prescriptivists isn't the language's fault, and shouldn't be used as a ruler by which you measure the writing of others.
Seems like this and similar ideas are a "poor man's fully homomorphic CPU." The idea is that the CPU has some kind of embedded key that you can use to send data into a trust enclave, perform secret compute on it, and export that data in encrypted form back out such that nobody should be able to see what happened... assuming you trust the vendor and your adversary does not have extreme NSA-level hardware forensic capabilities and physical access to the hardware.

Honestly it's not bad until or unless we get actually fast FHE chips. I think we're a ways away from that.
Sorry to break it to you, but chromosomes are prescriptive. You cannot simply ignore that there are differences between X and Y chromosomes. Society's distinctions between the sexes is not arbitrary. Why do we have separate bathrooms in public but not at home? Why do we have segregated sports? Why do we celebrate feminists but not MRAs? It's because there is a real-world difference.
Impressive that TBL wrote all the code for the WWW in 30:25.
This is truly a landmark study. This is the first structure of any odorant receptor. It is, however, one from an insect, so the structure is not homologous to mammalian olfactory receptors, which are a large family of G-protein-coupled receptors.
There is currently a move to disable issues (in opensource projects) and the driving factor behind this, is that other people can basically put stuff on your todo-list.

What would be better:

- make issues read-only for non-members

- track problems in discussions. often they're not really bugs and other people can directly help. If not, I'll convert the discussion to an issue when appropriate.

Benefit: bugs as discussions can be upvoted or downvoted so the community helps prioritizing.
The use of Content-Encoding for compression is actually something of a historical wart: what was intended to be used for that purpose is Transfer-Encoding, but modern browsers don’t even send the TE header necessary to permit the HTTP server to use it (except for Transfer-Encoding: chunked which every HTTP 1.1 client must accept), even though some servers are perfectly capable of it and all but the most broken will at least ignore it. Things like 7bit, 8bit, binary, or quoted-printable are not supposed to be in the HTTP Content-Encoding header, either, but their presence is at least somewhat understandable as they are valid in the MIME Content-Transfer-Encoding header, and HTTP originally shares much of its infrastructure with MIME (think Content-Disposition: attachment).

I guess what I’m getting at here is that the blame for the C-E weirdness lies in large part on the browsers, which could’ve made a clean break and improved the semantics at the same time by using T-E, but instead chose to initiate a chicken-and-egg dilemma out of a desire to support broken HTTP servers from the last century.

(The intended semantics is that C-E, an “end-to-end” header, says “this resource genuinely exists in this encoded form”, while T-E, a “hop-to-hop” header, says “the origin or proxy server you’re using incidentally chose to encode this resource in this form”; this is why sometimes the wrong combination of hacks in the HTTP server and the Web browser will lead you to downloading a tar file when you expected a tar.gz file.)

The use of “gzip” as the compression is also a wart, because it’s “deflate” (which is what you want: DEFLATE compression with a checksum) with a useless decompressed filename (wat?) + decompressed mtime (double wat?) header stacked on top.
Ada and SPARK are not aiming for the same thing. SPARK is intended for formal verification. Ada is not.

You can write safety-critical code in the full Ada language, but you won't be able to use SPARK's verification tools.

An example: if I understand correctly, the Boeing 777's avionics software is written in Ada, and they did not use the SPARK subset. [0]

For a while I'd really enjoyed HackerNews for the lack of politics. It was great not to hear about Trump during the Trump presidency, but since then and COVID times I find more and more highly politicized editorials being propelled to the top of the front page.

> How do you define "succeed"?

Relatively.

The author defines the success as the outcome for a hypothetical hard-working single mother with relation to the outcome of a hypothetical alternative where that single mother stops working.

I prefer to deal with reality, so I'd rather define success of real people as their outcomes relative to the outcomes for other real people who work equally hard.

How are FKK spas (the ones listed as brothels on google maps) half assed solutions for legalized prostitution, they are brothels grander than anything seen on Game of Thrones

Their sites are pretty clear about what they are and they are the registered institutions for that sex trade that the registered sex workers work in, if their area requires them to operate out of a brothel.
> Flat Rate Pricing

> This also applies to software development. If an e-commerce application you are building will bring in $500,000.00 in sales in the next year, then charging 10% to 20% of this amount is acceptable. The same goes with feature implementation. If your feature will save them $200,000.00 in the next year, price with that in mind vs the hourly rate.

And how do you know what amount of money they'll make or save? Do you estimate it yourself? Do they tell you?
Not all sex workers are women but an overwhelming majority of them are and those that are women or trans are much more likely to face violence especially at the hands of men.

This is clearly a gender specific problem despite your desire to frame it otherwise.

As to your second point, we often hire underage people to do work such as restocking shelves. If sex work is truly the same as retail work would you also argue that hiring an underage prostitute is no different than when Walmart hires a 15 year old to push carts? If not, what's the difference?
Even on HN, a lot of people seem to cite these kinds of videos as proof of something or other.

No, you don't have to place them in solitary confinement. You can place them with other trans-women.

Men are housed with men in jails. Yes, sometimes they commit violence against each other, including rape. But we don't put all men in solitary confinement.
There seems to be a new background assumption that one's identity can be chosen, whereas I think in reality it's inherited.
That doesn’t work because Facebook, Google, Amazon, etc would move to side loading or a freedom store.

Among a certain sect of internet libertarians, maybe. And we saw that the result of that was the proliferation of communities on popular websites dedicated to legal but sexually suggestive pictures of girls (ex. /r/jailbait on Reddit), communities dedicated to voyeuristic photography, vitriolic hate against people who are overweight, etc.
Indeed: that's where I learned it, having written both H/VBLANK ISRs on the beloved 8-bit Atari I grew up with. HBlank ISRs were needed to get more than 4 + 1 player-missile (sprites) to work.

I don't know if the game runs on emulators, but I know it runs correctly on a mid-generation PS3 and I'd expect that VBlank interrupt handling would be implemented by an emulator, so I'd expect it should work.

PS: Massive, massive respect for you and the rest of the Crash team. When that game came out, we couldn't comprehend how you were able to pull off that game on the same hardware we were using. Much respect (and thanks for the great gaming memories)!

All of the strategic situations with instant runoff seem to require more detail on the outcome than anyone can predict in practice. So I’m not sure this will ever actually be a thing for voters think about.

Can confirm.

I have started building a new product. I used standard serializers for everything I can get away with.

If I hit a pain point with a serializer that I can't solve in 10 minutes I drop back to manual serialization methods and leave it at that.

When I have to tidy up or bring more people we try to do everything by the book because, as you said, there's a lot of very good reasons why REST framework is structured the way it is and the predictability it brings is worth the cost of dealing with edge-case quirkiness.
I think HN is an excellent forum for this topic. It’s not just about development here, it’s also about the business of building tech companies. It’s not an accident HN was built on the side of Y-Combinator. Also if we can’t have a productive and civil discussion about it here, where can we? Sure we get trolls and wing nuts here, but fortunately there are enough adults that even divisive issues can get discussed productively. Not always, not on every topic, but it happens.
It was a fun read, thank you!

Your submission is the real-world example of "work smart, not hard"
Even beyond that, a cis woman can sexually assault another woman (Rape has different definitions depending on where you are, but clearly the distinction is irrelevant—sexual assault isn't inherently of a different impact, just different exact actions).

It's the exact same argument that was used as justification to try and criminalise homosexuality, that they would all be assaulting people in bathrooms, changing rooms, and prisons.
What we think of as school quality is mostly the quality of the students. Richer districts have, on average, students of high SES with parents that are more willing & able to help their kids succeed in school. Poorer districts have, on average, lower SES kids with terrible living situations and parents.

Having disruptive kids also makes educating them much more expensive. Discipline issues chew up a lot of resources and disrupt learning for other students. So you have to spend more to provide equal quality instruction.

And, of course, just because they spend more money doesn't mean they spend it on things that help educating students.
At least in New York, medicaid is still annoying in that it's hard to schedule appointments quickly, and many procedures require submitting forms to authorize (more waiting).

Basically the general balkanized-bureaucratic chaos that affects all US healthcare is not ameliorated by medicaid being the single payer. Something simplified and streamlined like the UK NHS sounds much better.
I actually read this, expecting their tuna to be ultra-processed and GMO'd out the wazoo. I love tuna sandwiches, but theirs tastes a little "fake" compared to Jimmy John's and Panera. I left disappointed that I wasted 10 minutes of my morning on an inconclusive lab result. Reminds me of Ancient Aliens -- build up a theory and then dismantle it at the end.
For what it's worth, I like that we discuss controversial topics here if only because it's the only online forum I'm aware of where this stuff can be discussed with any degree of productive dialogue or without a constant barrage of bad faith (which isn't to say there aren't bad faith commenters here, but the signal/noise ratio is much higher here).

Yes, gender ideology is pretty political (should it be?). But learning about it can obviously gratify one's intellectual curiosity if they're approaching it in good faith. So I don't think you're necessarily able to just make a blanket statement like "this isn't appropriate."

As for having much to lose, if you feel alienated by a good faith intellectual discussion -- regardless of topic -- that's your problem. This sort of thing is discussed daily in liberal arts programs across the US and in most of the world. You have to be able to discuss and learn about topics, even divisive ones, without losing your shit.

There's a similar publication in 3D printing too. It's called Joshua Pearce’s Algorithm[0] which covers all the major parameters and components of 3d printing materials and other factors.

It was built with an intention to invalidate 3D printing patents that cover broad elements and general materials and ideas, on the grounds of obviousness.
