So because you don't like Google, it's OK to see them fined for just any bullshit reason?
Imagine if academics had to pay publishers a fee for each citation they make. It's beyond me why anyone thinks requiring payment for linking (or citing) is a good idea.
Now that's a name I hadn't heard in a long time. It wasn't my cup of tea -- I prefer just writing latex directly, but it's a pity, as I'd rather see more people get into writing tex/latex, even if via GUI.

I understand why it's not that mainstream outside certain academic fields, though, because it can be pretty annoying frustrating at times. But almost anything is better than word at writing long technical documents, specially in a collaborative way. (Went through that once for a grant proposal; very painful).

The "forever chemicals" stay around, well, forever. They won't ever degrade under typical earth conditions. If you where to submerge all of earth in lava, there would still be some stuck around. This means that the more there is, the more will accumulate in the food chain?
This gives me food for thought. I have young children, all under 10. The challenge is learning how to inspire them; you found a crutch that made learning less of a chore: converting the syllabus into chunks of code.

I can already see that the my two eldest will both need very different answers, but if I can figure out what theirs is, I can hopefully help them focus where my childhood mind would wander during study sessions.
Well yeah, but you can obviously use signed distance functions to create a texture (that's what a shader is doing) that can be used at runtime. Imagine you want to make the normal map for a bubbly surface, for example, but you also want the bubbles to be animated. One way of doing this would be to render the normals from a bunch of sdf spheres onto a 3d texture, which would then be used later.

I don't use this a work - it's just an approach that I've had some success with at home. On my machine, complex fragment shaders are always slow - so maybe this kind of sdf-based approach works in realtime for other people.

> Even as someone thats only just above a junior engineer, I feel like I've been made to feel stupid or that I was wasting other peoples time or such for "just asking questions" so many times.

Assuming you’re not a help vampire (I’ve worked with junior engineers like that, and it’s frustrating because they eat up time unnecessarily), then to the extent that you can, I would recommend finding a new team that doesn’t do that. It’s toxic to your growth and career development. Junior engineers might be junior, but “junior” is not the same as “incompetent”, and teams that don’t appreciate the difference are probably not good places to spend your early career.
Yeah. For somebody who really cares a lot about cache misses he sure doesn't seem to be concerned about basic things like leaving virtual function calls in place.

Homosexuality is, by its very definition, same-sex attraction, not same-gender attraction.

Aside from Reddit's double standard when it comes to subreddit bans, the fact that some people wanting to discuss their attraction to a particular sex is considered 'transphobic', is the wider problem here. It's not right that actual lesbians are getting harangued and then banned for not being interested in 'girldick' or whatever nonsense.

> Nice dog whistle.

Not really, just biological reality. People can't actually change their sex (only their gender expression), so 'male lesbian' is a statement of self-contradiction.
Funny to see l'autorite de la concurrence completely ignore the french monopolies like La Poste and the SNCF. I guess it pays to focus on foreign companies.

You've been rightfully needled for trying to start a culture flame war, but to heap on here, I want to specifically call out your virtue signaling claim that reddit cares more about the male gaze than female speech (speech you yourself care so much about that you misgender intentionally):

Reddit removed all pornographic subreddits from /r/all. If you go to /r/all now, all porn subreddits are gone. You can still see the very rare NSFW post from a non-NSFW community, but for all intents and purposes all pornography has been removed from all public channels.

So much for reddits dedication to the male gaze!

As far as I understand, the point of warp drive is that you shorten the space time distance you travel by warping spacetime.

At no point do you travel in a specifical location faster than light. You simply cover less distance by warping space.

There's no causality violation. It's similar to the fact some parts of the universe travel away from us faster than light. They don't violate causality because it's space that is expanding.
>I suppose there's only so long a one person company can go on for.

These people got a an entire career out of independently working on software they (presumably) enjoyed developing. And if they open source it, the product lives on. It's not sad, it's great! Some of us should be so lucky.

Apparently there was a new law in 2019 imposing Platform owners like Google to "share value created through their platform", which means share ad revenues with news creators (for no good reason whatsoever, we are back in Middle-Ages with this kind of 'droit de passage'). EU regulations are completely crazy at this stage, and applied mostly to force foreign companies to pay up.
Don't know the Berlin job market but TBH Austria is way more conservative than hip and liberal Berlin as proven by having a conservative party at the helm and the lowest number of women in top management positions in Europe. The corporate world in Austria (excluding young start-ups) pretty much is the embodiment of the "old boys club" meme.

Also, Austria has stronger parental leave than Germany AFAIK from my German colleagues working in Austria so that could also explain why employers there are less affected by this.

Sure, you can value 100 things, but your time is limited. At some point you will make decisions that favour one of the things at the expense of the others.
If the purpose of a fine is to disincentivise certain behaviour then the degree to which it does so should be of the same magnitude for everyone it applies to. If the magnitude is not equal then all you're doing is discriminating against everyone else.

A $50 parking/speeding fine means something very different to the people working in the cafeteria at Google and the SWEs at Google.
This is a lot like saying “I choose not to drive, but it’s nonsense that people think cars are the issue.”

You’ve made a choice within your time management framework to not take on the challenge of writing software. Rather than ponder the situation if it weren’t the challenge it is today for you to accomplish what you need with a computer, you declare the mere thought of that itself to be nonsense. That is nonsensical and, frankly, quite odd coming from a researcher.
I've been working remotely since 2012 and am 99% satisfied with my setup.

Having said that, I do have something to add to the list: since going fully-remote the amount of after-hours social time with colleagues has dropped categorically. This is not entirely a bad thing, of course, but it has resulted in fewer chips and salsa/queso sessions (and that is a pain).
From what I recall from reading one of the "E-myth" books a while ago, whether the newly-owned shop will operate similarly to the old one, and also how difficult was it for the original owners to sell it, will depend on the documentation GP mentioned.

Going from my memory, "E-myth" book(s) insist on thoroughly documenting operating procedures and turning them into playbook. Rigid in terms of personnel training, but open to change if someone figures out an improvement. The goal is to be able to scale up operations into multiple venues (franchise models) while maintaining highly consistent appearance and level of quality.

As much as having such documentation will make it easier for a franchisee to get the business running (the books call it "turn-key business", IIRC), it will also make it easier for a potential buyer to take over and immediately hit the ground running.
What a dogmatic article.

I suspect they'll lose many people that way, since it's not clear the thing is even for sale unless you stumble upon it somehow. Is this an open source make-your-own-board thing where I get a BoM and CAD files? A buyable product? It's not clear at all from the site design.

Disclaimer: The design is responsive. It disappears at lower screen widths. There's a subtle menu in the top-right, and the bottom of the menu hides the "buy" button. It's fine if you're running a full-screen browser window on a desktop.
From the PDF of the decision (see Pelote's post) I understand that Google was supposed to strike a fair deal with the news publishers to continue to post excerpts and images from articles.

The publishers never really wanted Google to stop using the material but they wanted compensation.

Instead, Google just decided to not publish anything so they didn't have to pay.

They are accused of acting in bad faith and using their dominant position to the detriment of the news publishers: either use their material without paying or not publishing anything. In either case, it's detrimental to the news publishers.

I can see the logic here. Google is the de facto search engine and as such dominates the market. They basically have more bargaining power than the news publishers and did not manage to reach a fair agreement, as mandated by the law that came out in 2019 (the goal was to level the playing field).

So google is trying to side-step the law to the detriment of the news publishers. Basically, Google is not doing what they were required -by law- to do.
> This was just lobbying done by newspapers who are dying to social media and better news channels.

Said newspapers are already heavily subsidized by the French government anyway.., They should just nationalize them and make France an official Soviet State instead of pretending to be a Democracy.
I don’t write swift, but didn’t you miss a comma and a label for your Text(“Hit me to toggle”) argument in your second example? Did you mean:

Button(action: self.isWarningEnabled.toggle, label:{
Text("Hit me to toggle")
})

Not sure if you can just pass the method signature and omit the parentheses so it doesn’t get called like you can in python. Would be interested to know.
I doubt that is legal anywhere tho. I for sure can't legally sell meds I imported from somewhere else.

Why are you and downvotes/others possibly able to extend my logic into a wild conclusion. Yet, I assume you would find me taking your logic down a wild path as preposterous.

Following your logic of that’slife and genetics are part of natural life while steroids are so wrong, we should heavily focus on making sure advantages from consumption are curbed. No supplements, no high protein low calorie food. Limit medications and so on.

As genetics are a part of life, something I never disagreed with, and we all agree they are not equal in fairness, why are steroids of almost any kind frowned upon so strongly? But other life advantages or disadvantages are hand waved away?

There's a significant difference between removing a subreddits from /r/all and banning it from the site. Besides, you can go to /r/randomnsfw and pretty much only see pornographic subreddits. Or search for them on the subreddits search. They've not gone anywhere, and are still well catered to by the administration.
I experience these things differently. I'm not a writer but I'm still able to read and write. I don't have a writer (scribe) next to me that translates things I think into this little text box, whenever I need it. Similarly I don't call an accountant to plan my holiday budget.

We can do all of those things on our own to a reasonable degree as it gives us a degree of autonomy that we wouldn't have otherwise. That's the basic level. But perhaps more importantly it has spiritual impact as it enables different perspectives and types of thinking and doing.
> What is this even saying? The virus is external to the body. The vaccines are external to the body as well. Study after study shows that the side-effects of the vaccine are lower than the issues caused by the disease.

Saying that the virus is dangerous doesn't make the vaccine safe in the long term. You might be right, but you have no basis to suppose it's safe in the long run. You are just betting it because tv told you so.

> It's been proven non-poisonous hundreds of millions of times already.

You are talking about possible future unknown effects. No it hasn't been proven at all. They aren't even looking for possible long term damage.

Anyway they downplay it in the leaflet but its there: "The COVID-19 vaccine has gone through the same clinical trials and
safety checks as all other licensed vaccines, however the vaccine is new
and long-term side effect information is limited."

Of their _global_ revenue. France is not a particularly large country. I could definitely see it being economical for Google to stop operating in France, or to blacklist all these french publishers.
Grammatically, yes but practically, no.

There are multiple rivers with "älv" as a suffix in Sweden, among them the biggest and most economically/historically significant. This means that any possessive formed by "älv-" automatically would refer to a river.

If you'd set your Swedish language fantasy world where there's a place called "Älvdalen", readers would be confused. It would be like calling Minas Tirith Stockholm.

I look at the way you describe competitive people, and I understand why you think this way. But in my experience, people who have competitive personality have a lot more variation, and don't really fit the picture that you paint. There are certainly some people like that; but there's plenty of toxic and demotivating people with opposite personality traits, too.

I understand that you wouldn't be motivated by competition, and that's fine. I wouldn't want to work in a company that forces everybody to compete. That's actually my point: working in a company that builds it motivation structure that suits only one personality type is wrong, whatever personality type that is.

That's good to see, and I hope reddit starts taking action on more of these bots. There's no good way to filter them out and they make the comments section such a chore to read through.

This bot in particular generates thousands of spam comments. Any popular thread with a video will be filled with requests to download that video. It's even worse than the RemindMe bot. People are too lazy to use an external tool, or even click the "save" button on a post.

Imagine if every second comment on Hacker News was a bot correcting your grammar, converting random measurements into metric, or forming poorly-constructed haikus. It's such a nuisance on the site.

So the time limit is fine for old comments if you can get them via the API, but the API will only retrieve a certain amount (I think 2K) of comments.

Generic Answer:

- The tech stack that is best is the one you/team are most comfortable with using.

Specific Answer:

- If you were using Elixir, you could have 1 process (GenServer) per stock ticker that calls the API for just that stock. GenServers are lightweight processes that run concurrently in the BEAM. That process could then have a set of subscribing user processes to notify which would then do an alert to a user. This is assuming you can call an API for one stock vs. having to parse a feed of data. If I were doing this I wouldn't store any of the stock data in any way, its ephemeral and by the time a DB commit happens the price changed.

Caveats:

You mention API so I assume that means you are calling an API, parsing data, (dealing with rate limits) then alerting. I'd caution the use of the term "real-time" as you are farther away from trading data than big name brokers. My intent isn't to downplay the idea, just thinking it through based on the info in the one sentence question.
