I think the accusation is fair. After all, Google did dump AngularJS entirely into the trash with the incompatible release of "Angular" (without the JS) when they realized what a monster they had made. Like the author says, all of the layers of services, factories, etc. just made it unnecessarily confusing without adding any utility.

Google also started the Polymer project which became Lit, which is the antithesis of Angular: all of its benefits with none of its cruft. If Angular ruined JS, Lit saves TS.
Yes! Signing (albeit with a small vocabulary) was surprisingly successful with my infant daughter, over 20 years ago. I was initially skeptical, but it worked really well. Not sure if it reduced my infant daughter's communication frustrations, but it certainly helped her parents feel less frustrated.
> context of civil rights discrimination

Why is someone not wanting to build a website a civil rights violation? What civil right is being violated?
This, and similarly Déjà vu, both happen to me too, very occasionally. I definitely also see a correlation with times I'm significantly fatigued, for example after being awake for 20 hours during a multi-day fast.
This isn't a complete analysis. From the same site, cast iron has a density of 6800-7800 kg/m³, whereas aluminium is around 2700 kg/m³: https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/metal-alloys-densities-d_....

With specific heats of 0.91 kcal/(kg⋅K) for aluminium and 0.46 kcal/(kg⋅K) for cast iron, this works out to

Aluminium: ~2500 kcal/(kg⋅m³)

Cast iron: ~3100 - 3600 kcal/(kg⋅m³)

So for a pan of the same thickness/shape, cast iron should have a heat capacity that's 25-45% higher.
Don't despair. Hope is in the air!

Anybody else have the same crazy day?
This seems so obvious and easily researched - I'm surprised the author didn't correct it. I can't find any extenuating context. E.g. they don't mention anything about "in the US".
I don't think it's reasonable to expect non-giants to self host a CDN
It wasn't the C++ ad that was the problem in this case, as it was programming related. The problem was that same ad was run for every page every day. It wasn't long before I grew to hate it.

The affiliate money from them is not enough to interest me. What does interest me is providing ads that my readers would like to see.

Maybe I'm a unique snowflake, but relentlessly showing me the same ad makes me hate it. I don't listen to internet radio because each station runs the same 3 ads all day. I just can't stand it.
Yeah, and many other tech sites. It is kind of sad when even sites that are run by supposedly more knowledgeable people are standing in a way of adoption.
I asked the author (I was a postdoc at the lab he was a grad student in about 20 years ago).

My question: """Are these differences evaluated/inferred using data from all regions of the genome (intergenic, viral repeats, etc) or just genes? I recall that the early reports that compared primates to humans just used genes (or maybe just the easily aligned regions, but out of order) which seemed like a big omission."""

His answer: """We used the Simons Genome Diversity panel (full phased genomes for ~300 people), along with Neanderthal and Denisovan genomes to make an ancestral recombination graph (ARG). The ARG is a sequence of trees describing relationships between everyone all along the genome. It's really just a sequence of trees at each variable site. Then, you can look at these trees and find segments where the archaics fall outside the variation of the humans. These are regions where no human shares ancestry with archaic either by recent admixture or by incomplete-lineage sorting. Turns out that's about 7% of the genome. What's in that 7%? It's a lot of genes and specifically a lot of genes involved in neural development and neural function! The method itself is blind to what is genic or nongenic. But this method is about the genealogy of genes across the genome, i.e., from whom they were inherited and not necessarily how different the versions were. In other words, it's about the topology of the trees across the genome, not their branch lengths."""

Beyond that things start to get really complicated, you need to understand concepts like haptotype blocks, how new genes arise, etc.
This comment is better quality content than the article. I just wish I understood more of it.
> spend the next 20 years of my life attending standups and updating Jira tickets

What's frustrating is that this is self-inflicted damage from agile.

The first not-quite-20 years of my career there were no standups, no jira-centric workstyle (we had bug trackers of course, but day to day work didn't revolve around that the way it does with jira).

Work was so pleasant, solving interesting technical problems and making the product better, just like hacking at home on personal projects. Work doesn't have to be sprinting from status report meeting to status report meeting. It never was that way before agile.

I've largely opted out of day to day programming just to avoid that unpleasant madness. But I miss it and wish I could go back to exciting hands-on programming every day, without the agile headaches.
"Same thing" obviously has blurry boundaries. Neanderthals might have seemed to be a different race or the like.
A dead man’s switch should be fail-close, and enable operation when functioning, not disable operation upon disfunction. The latter is vulnerable to double failures, the former is not.

I have seen this research before and it's very interesting! But I don't see how it explains why members of the red tribe would not be interested in reaching out and having conversations with blue tribe. What's more likely is your point below about conservatives not feeling safe to express their thoughts around liberals (which I mentioned as a possibility).
Thank you, time for me to do some shopping!

I often hear people say that cast iron conducts heat well, but that is easy to disprove if you have a gas burner: put some water in the pan and turn the heat up. You will see the water boiling in a pattern that matches where the flame hits the pan.

I like to fry frozen chicken in the cast iron pan, but it is always a bit of a nuisance that the center of the pan gets much less hot than the perimeter. My gas range has a fairly large burner with no flame in the middle.

Lots of pandemics become endemic and so "never end". Covid-19 will be doing that as well, unless you can get almost 100 percent of humans to take sterilizing (ie, nonexistent) vaccines and kill every feline reservoir. And any others that may pop up.

I got so angry with my local paper with their email newsletters. I'm a subscriber. I pay a whopping $9 a month. I shouldn't be emailed newsletters with ads about weird ointments or tonics or other conspiracy theory things "doctor's don't want you to know" right there in line with the major headlines. I get hosting classifieds and taking out ads, but the ads that are placed on the website and in the newsletters are straight out of tabloid rags. They wouldn't ever print ads like this in the actual paper. People would get fired if they ever did.
Elsewhere in the replies to my comment there are plenty of responses to your first paragraph, please browse them if you’re interested in why those criticisms of ABC are not good and miss some crucial aspects of it.

But the analogy to cars is flawed. A more equitable one would be to obey traffic laws and not do things like speed or lane jump. I.e driving in a responsible manner that is considerate of others safety. It doesn’t reduce traffic accidents to zero, it minimizes them. Your analogy would be like continuing the lockdown for vaccinated people because even vaccinated people can in rare cases spread the disease. That is as wacky as forbidden people to drive. Having people vaccinated to partake in large gatherings is like requiring people to obey speed limits or face a penalty. Sure some people will get around it.
But I was mad about the cost of it all, motivated, and ready to be simple.

What a statement, ready to be simple, that's the take home message.
I can't remember when exactly I found out about `git bisect` but it was life-changing and I never looked at git repos the same way.
If that was their goal they failed miserably. In reality, AngularJS made extra boilerplate and extra spaghetti, leading to its eventual abandonment by Google. If anything, you had to really be an expert programmer to use Angular.

I'll put in a third plug for Lit here since it doesn't get much love on HN. Lit is as bare metal as web components and data binding properties could possibly be. It's near zero boilerplate. You just include Lit and start writing your real code. What a relief!

What type of logs? The old school Analog/AWStats/Webalizer probably still work for HTTP server logs.
Money is just one factor. I can think of tons of other factors - low interest rates, relatively rich city people moving from smaller apartments to houses to escape Covid, low supply because of construction halts during Covid, high price of lumber (which is slowly coming down).
for a small effort. is not difficult to say, "George should be part of this discussion". Ok you may need to all put on headphones or get a room so you can use a speaker phone, but really, not that hard.

What if George had been away getting coffee or at the bathroom when you started the conversation, he would have missed out anyway.

Agreed on everything.

Leave nature to its own devices to recuperate. It does that surprisingly well if there is a bit of water, sun and soil.
Yeah, I enjoyed this and the WTYP podcast. I disagree with Justin a bit on his favored idea of "De-commodification of housing", making it some type of individual right rather than a form of tradeable property, versus leaving the capitalist framework by which we allocate individual housing in place, and just aggressively intervening by changing infrastructure, zoning, taxation, and development to create market conditions amenable to the population's interests.

I respect his POV, but I see the latter as more achievable. I think he sees a pernicious influence from local developers, and believes any government-led change that leaves them intact will necessarily be corrupted by them.
Did you try it? I didn't know better and tried it long time ago. Cast iron skillet that was used for years. After few times in dishwasher significant chunk of seasoning was gone.
I'm not too familiar with Substack aside from reading a couple "columns" (can't think of a better noun) from there but is there any reason why it wouldn't be a useful platform for journalism, aside from it being so associated with opinion pieces?
House prices are going up because there aren't enough of them.

They're only a good hedge against inflation if there aren't enough of them.

All the other stuff, like low interest rates in mortgages, just accelerates the underlying cause of the price jumps.

I remember that as well. I remember talking about it with my parents relatively recently as well.

They had claimed they used to enjoy the smell of gasoline in their youth and that it became repugnant only after they reached a certain age.

I thought that was a reasonable explanation back then. Similar to developing a taste for certain food ingredients.

However in hindsight, the transition from leaded to unleaded gasoline actually explains this better.
I just want to chip in to confirm that with only minor actions and pretty much no sacrifice on your end, you really can help A LOT of small wildlife. Not only do you help it, it quite simply makes your environment nicer too.

Should you have a garden, even if small, don't go for exotic plants, select local ones. You can easily optimize the ones attractive to bees and butterflies. Combine with one of those insect hotels (be sure to get a deep one) and presto...you just created a brand new ecosystem that is fun to watch.

Minimize lawn surface to what has actual real utility, use the rest for plants, bushes, trees, a simple pond. You're going to be amazed at all the stuff that appears the next season.

Have some tall bushes with dense foliage and the first bird nest will soon appear.

Clean dead leafs from your path for your safety, but nowhere else. Its nutrition for a very complex and rich ecosystem of soil animals.

Don't kill everything that moves with pesticides, only take care of plague insects forming a real and direct threat.

A bat box is the cheapest thing, and your reward is sustaining these stunning animals, as they clear out excess mosquitos. Their appearance can be timed nearly to the minute every single day, just before sunset.

Shut down needless lights, allow nocturnal wildlife to do their thing and stop confusing moths.

The above costs near-zero effort at near-zero cost. The effect is that you're sustaining a complex web of life, from mesofauna to larger insects, snails, amphibians, flowers, birds, bats.

Just casually observing all this buzz from the garden chair is wonderful. Quite a lot better than the sterile "tiles and lawn". Even better is to get a macro lens and capture it all, you'll be set for life with an amazing hobby.

Do it. Give wildlife a little room, and give it a chance. It will blow your mind how it will thrive.

If still not convinced, might I add that the above is 100% compatible with the lazy. Once it's in place, it's pretty much inaction from there.
Re #3: this has been my experience almost my entire 10 year tenure as a software developer. You start out doing a few stories, hey this is easy. Then they get harder (ooo we're starting to pack those two weeks now! Hope I get a good bonus for this, it's exhausting), then eventually you're tracking down acceptance criteria for your own stories (what happened to the project manager?! I can do this though, I'm senior level, no problem), then you're getting support requests for other devs and more and more work, scope creep, debugging, etc...

And any request to "follow the rules" (what if we had AC before stories started? what if we defined who would do that and gave them time to do it? what if we didn't change or add stories mid-sprint? can we discuss why that overtime happened the last few times so it doesn't happen again? Sure, bring it up in the retro... but we won't be willing to change much, sorry) leads to you being increasingly shunned and disliked.

Does anyone have solutions to this? It seems like most people solve it by moving up the ladder, as ICs generally aren't treated well in most places, and when you can delegate you hopefully can get back to 40h/wk.
But its not really animated. The outer / framing parts are with puppets, the inner parts can be in different styles
I can't imagine working on a big project without `git bisect run` or an equivalent. Especially on projects with a big user surface and a QA department, there will be a constant stream of bugs that have nothing to do with the most recent commits.
Having just seen a comparison of human and Neanderthal skeletons in person, it seems rather far fetched that they couldn’t tell each other were different.
Isn't it better to write the entire thing in a higher level language like C first, then start optimizing the slow parts e.g. by writing them in assembly?
I think you're massively overestimating the amount of avgas used in aviation. It is used by the fringes of aviation only. All jets and turboprops run on Jet-A1 which is unleaded. All that remains is flying much less hours and using much less fuel per flight hour as well.

When cars switched away from lead the impact was huge because there were so many of them using so much fuel. Avgas is really a minor thing and some airports don't even want to stock it anymore. Refineries don't like making it and as a result it's so expensive that complete engine refits with turbodiesel have become viable.
> Why not extend it to the end of the year?

I'm not sure what's being shared externally, but that Oct 18 date is itself contingent on offices entering a stage which is considered safe. It's the earliest that people can return, not an absolute date. October 18 could come and if an office is located in an area with case counts above a certain threshold (or vaccination rates below a certain level) people will not be expected to come back.

Google was one of the first to send people home. I was home weeks before my kids were definitively sent home from school. We are likely to be one of the last to be asked to come back.
Indeed. Although he would have abhorred their anti-science tactics. And he wrote extensively about the dangers of religious idiocy.
When I became a dad a few years back I ended up watching a lot of PBS content for kids. I actually really enjoyed Arthur a lot. The art has a nice style, the characters are swell, and it tends to irritate me much less than other kid shows. But for whatever reason my sons (both < 6yrs) adamantly refuse to watch it. Maybe the look is for younger kids but the content is for older kids?
human genetics/genomics papers assume you understand an enormous amount of details of human genetics, the knowledge of which has been hard-won over a century. I worked in this field for decades, know a ton, and still have to read every sentence in this paper carefully, multiple ttimes, and check various sources to remind myself of technical concepts. There's a reason I switched to working on computing full time- a lot of these state of the art arguments can only be contributed to by people who are, well, state of the art, thick-skinned, and well-funded.

You’re right, I responded to the wrong comment.
'Others have damned him... for inventing female characters fated only for appalling subservience and motherhood. Says the accused chauvinist: "Even that can't be substantiated statistically. I don't know what they want me to do with the females. Do they want 'em not to have babies? I don't think there's much future in a gal who's thoroughly opposed to having babies. And the men in my stories are also thoroughly in favor of it."'

I understand Heinlein is a culturally important figure in Science Fiction, but he should not be one of our heroes.
Do you really think we had a concise definition of "species" that was generally recognized back then? Do you think they pondered whether Neanderthals were a different race, a subspecies, or actually a different species?

And do you think that their societal mores regarding inter-species sex were identical to those of typical humans today?

Also, our current definition of species takes into account whether there is significant interbreeding in the wild. So that makes your question rather circular.
Clean with water and scrubbing, then place o the fire and add about a glass of salt, move it around whole the pan as if you were looking it. Toss away the salt and store the pan somewhere dry and clean.
- Large shift in buyer's preferences due to COVID and remote work

- Eviction moratorium

- Low interest rates

- Millennials at prime age for purchasing homes

- Inflation from QE

- Institutional investors purchasing property

- Limited new supply from construction

As a prospective home buyer, it's hard for me to see enough of these factors changing within the next couple of years to make home prices more sensible.

I feel like my choices are to (A) bite the bullet and accept that I missed out on better times for buying or (B) wait 3-5 years in the hopes that things turn around.
Not really. It just means the topics people are touchy about don't follow the party line. They're still touchy and political about them.
If the pan is well seasoned, it shouldn't be rusting. It is showing the seasoning is thin or incomplete and water is reacting directly with the iron.
I like how Arthur got away with doing a "South Park", "Beavis & Butt-Head", and "Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist" parody on PBS Kids in Season 4's "The Contest": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_6-EKOixUs
... but also 3x the job security, perhaps?
Not entirely true. From the article:

> The Federal Reserve's easy money policies have also kept mortgage rates near historic lows, pushing up demand for housing

That said, I agree with your sentiment more than the article's reductionist view that the low rates simply "pushed up demand."
There are two threats, bad actors, and law enforcement.

Biometrics is good for law enforcement but is it tougher for hackers?
I genuinely had no idea they were still making Arthur.

I thought it was just a circle of reruns like how I watched Mr. Rogers as a kid.

Seems to me like you'd only need to make a couple seasons worth of any kids show, you've got a continuing cycle of aging out and brand new audience.
That's a nice quote!
There's a whole nonsense mythology that has been built up about how to treat cast iron (and carbon steel).

I think one of the biggest reasons is that people want an easy shortcut, when in reality the best thing to do is simply to use the pan a lot, and respect that it is iron and that iron will rust if you strip away the protective layer, so don't do that.

Our experience following the covid lockdowns and everybody working from home is that even if a majority of us are in the office, we still have meetings over Teams. It allows far better control, easier background chat, sharing ideas that can be raised in the verbal meeting and people to get on with real work if the topic under conversation is not important to them, but keeping them in the loop. Win win.
I sold my AAPL years ago, after buying in 2000 at a dot-com crash low of something like $12.

Could I have made more by holding? Yes, obviously. Do I regret my decision? No, I made way more than I ever expected to on that investment, funded a down payment on a house, and diversified the remainder into other holdings (which indirectly still includes some AAPL and other tech stocks).

Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered. Set your goals, and stick to them. When you achieve what you want, it doesn't make sense to regret that you didn't get more.
True we'd always run full rich during most of the pattern. Good point.
My only objection to your original post was your tone. Specifically dismissing my question as blase. Otherwise I thought your father's condition was the only good objection I've read so far. In fact, my wife being temporarily immunocompromised herself is why I signed up to a vaccine trial. But then you go off and swear at me on your subsequent post.

As to your italized "because of the vaccinated" your kids are at risk (irregardless the small risk): that's really no different than me having to walk in a city surrounded by texting motorists. The difference being that texting kills far more people and yet, despite laws to the contrary, nothing is done about it.

Seriously, let's mandate locking up phones that are moving more than 5mph. It'll save far more <12 year old lives than vaccinating everyone.
