> smelling diffused secondhand smoke outdoors is not giving you cancer any more than the exhaust from the cars

Bad analogy (or, rather, reasonable analogy, but it's not making the point you're trying to make). And smoking's a bigger concern for asthmatics; have you taken that into account?

> and I don't believe some people who don't like it have the right to ban other people from doing it everywhere

If you can smoke without polluting everybody's air, then sure, go ahead. Otherwise, please don't.
Get used to this reaction. Unfortunately, as much as open source software communities want their products to be taken seriously, they will invariably react this way to negative feedback. "works for me", "pick better hardware", etc.

Fairly early on in the discussion, Harris is talking about how he supposedly never tells a lie, not even to his 10 year old daughter, although he does conceal facts from her that she doesn't need to know. For example, there exists a certain guerilla organization/theocratic proto-state that was known at the time for systematically carrying out horrific acts against women and children, She doesn't need to be burdened with that knowledge at that age so he withholds it from her.

But see what he just did there? The very thing he said his own kid is too young to hear, he just blurted out. That would mean by his own standards their conversation is inappropriate for children. So perhaps he himself asked Weinstein to age-restrict the video so as not to be a hypocrite.

BorgBase founder here. All correct what you found. I started the company from the US via YC startup school in 2018, but later decided to place myself in Europe again. Hence moving the incorporation to the EU made sense. My director is handling the commercial aspect, like VAT, taxes and banking. Myself, I maintain our open source projects like Vorta, our Ansible role and macOS packaging for Borg.

Hope this helps to clear your reservations. I should update our GDPR page with regard to the regulator. That's outdated by now.

You are based in London so your view of the UK's international perception is probably about as useless as mine (also based in London). Taiwan and the UK have good relations - arguably better than Taiwan / EU - there is a longer term geopolitical instability with the EU more recently tilting towards Russia (Nordstream) and China (controversial investment deal signed in January) - whilst the UK is shying away from both. Political whims, indeed.

For tile raster services, the story for caching already rendered tiles to a CDN needs to be first class. The Lambda portion is really just the minor detail: the thing that generates tiles if thy haven’t been generated yet.

But depending on your zoom levels and map size, ideally you don’t even have a lambda service and just precache tiles. Then you’ve reduced your service to a dead simple file host problem.
I guess first half can be while second half not.
I think age plays a role here, I'm a white male in my 50s and certainly women of my generation faced enormous hurdles that men didn't. That's because the majority of people in power while I was growing up were white men who grew up in the 1940s and 50s, and had moral compasses and gender expectations baked into them at that time.

Time and again I witnessed girls in my school classes in the 70s and 80s treated disrespectfully and condescendingly by teachers so boys of my age were exposed to these attitudes and I'm sure some were influenced by them.

I have two daughters and when they were about 9 and 10 my brother bought them a model combustion engine. When we told one of my uncles he snorted and said "Hasn't he noticed they're Girls!". That was about 8 years ago, and that uncle of mine has 3 daughters. Of course my kids loved the model and wouldn't let anyone else touch it, they spent hours working on it.

I'm pretty confident the current climate is much, much more open to women choosing their own path but it's still not perfect. There are still a lot of men in positions of power or influence with attitudes they learned many decades ago. Actually a fair few women too, many older ladies have regrettably regressive attitudes. They're there in families and work places influencing expectations, promoting biased thinking and giving boy's toys to boys and girl's toys to girls.
Continuity Concerns – Computer Animation Oddities
I love weight training, but the number of zealots and narcissists in the community is definitely a big downside that surely discourages a lot of people.

Resistance training has innumerable benefits, but it's not a panacea nor is it a substitute for aerobic exercise; if done properly and sensibly, aerobic and resistance training complement one another. Here's a great summary comparing the two: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Adaptations-and-Health-B...

By all means emphasize one over the other as you prefer, but for health benefits both should be included. And, no, powerlifting exercises with a straight barbell are not irreplaceable. Resistance training is a far bigger world than that.
There is no overt pushback. That doesn't mean that there is none. And the presence and activity of the usual environmental NIMBY organisations like Deutsche Umwelthilfe, NABU, BUND, etc. point to at least some covert opposition, since those organisations happily serve as fronts for non-environmental interests.

And state politics, especially in the east, is rife with people using it as a stepping stone to the federal level. Famously there once were more prime ministers from the west governing the east than eastern-born ones.

Didn't read the article (paywall), but why should it be surprising that farts _can_ spread Covid? It's to be expected. What is of much more importance is how effective this is as a method of spreading the virus compared to other transmission methods, including touching common surfaces.
Yeah he seems to be talking about social systems rather than software. But it's wrong in both cases. In software systems we have refactoring and bug fixing, in social systems we have organizational frameworks and roles that abstract away from the people. Both of those things have their limitations and problems, but I wouldn't go as far as the author in saying they are basically useless.
I like how the title phrases this as something new.

While my phone is in English, I have Google Maps set to Dutch so that it will pronounce street names correctly (in English it'll butcher "Spui", but however it says "Utrechtsestraat" is pretty much unrecognisable.)

However there's an annoying/funny bug. If you open maps and start navigation, it's fine. However if, while navigation is running, you switch to another app temporarily, the language voice will change to the English voice, but the direction-generation part will still be generating directions in Dutch. This then becomes the worst of all possible worlds, as not only are the street names being butchered, but the instructions are too. In particular, "sla rechtsaf" (turn right) becomes "ess ell aye rektsaaf" as it thinks it's an acronym.
A lot of people seem to think (high, German) Labour costs matter in this desicion. I don't think they do. If TSCM hires someone 1% better than the other guy, he makes them millions more with a better design/brighter idea etc. So paying 50% more on his salary is very affordable. That's the difference between a high tech company and amazon, Walmart etc.

Germany seems like exactly the place I'd look for a highly educated workforce and one with a strong engineering culture. AND a place where workers will stay for a lifetime not just jump ship every 24months or take a fat cheque from China to move there and build them a TSCM copy.

I'd be more worried about German pollution, health and safety etc laws, as this is a dirty industry. And I'd be more worried about getting a big chunk of land and planning permission.
It's absolutely their prerogative to give him a guarantee.

Or, they can choose to undermine their credibility as a champion of human rights by providing no guarantees of humane treatment to any person under extradition.

Many countries opt to follow this route (not nice countries, mind) and thus voluntarily "fail" to extradite a great number of guilty people as a result. Refusal to respect human rights often comes at a cost.

Sweden's hands were not tied on this issue and it was a reasonable request. The reasonableness and the apparent politically motivated intransigence of the Swedish justice system (something noted by eagle eyed GCHQ employees in leaked emails) is a large part of why the application for asylum was approved.

This is also probably why he made the offer ~30 times.

No one (apart from Brexiters) cares that much about tariffs. EU tariffs are some of the lowest in the world - the average applied tariff for imports into the EU in 2019 was just 1.88%. Compare that to 6% for India or 13% for the US. What really matters are non-tariff-barriers - and this is where the EU really excels. After all, that is what it was build for.

FDI into the UK fell from 101,241m to just 59,137m USD in 2019. Your article doesn't look at the value of the investments but just the number of projects.
Dunno if the article mentiones that, since I dont have a nytimes sub, but the absolute worst thing about QR codes is that they make phishing very easy. Just slap a fake sticker on top of the genuine one, which looks the same save for the code.

How do you deal with Cashflow Management?
I'm a SaaS operator myself and I struggle with this question when the startups Founders or Investors I meet (or work with) ask me "Hey! Hows our/your cashflow looks like". I often have these numbers in my mind, but to prepare a reportable forecast, This labour intensive work requires a lot of time in calculating (Incomes/Expenses, AR and APs), creating scenarios with hiring/firing, onboarding a new vendor, or implementing new feature within a product, that requires working with different tools and integrations.

The value of Poundbury is in demonstrating an alternative to endless monotonous suburbia by reinventing the village with allowance but not priority for cars.

That is true to some degree, but with Terracotta we allow the frontend to do manipulations on the fly. Like changing contrast, applying colormaps, or band math. So the number of possible tiles is infinite.

If you don’t need that, you can just pre-generate all PNGs - then you don’t even need a server anymore, just a hash function to identify the right file and a big disk.
To me, CSS is probably the most "artistic" kind of work I do, so a good CSS writing session involves being in the right artistic headspace. The work is a lot like shaping clay--a little padding here, some flexbox there. I use classes scoped to components and avoid global styles, lessens the blast radius. I also leverage CSS variables in lieu of SASS and friends to keep things vanilla. Once it's done, like playing with clay, I couldn't really describe the process of getting to the final product, it just materializes over the iterations.
This is the most PHP comment in this thread yet; "yeah, I know this very basic API is inadequate and broken, but you can just write a wrapper, everyone is writing the same wrappers anyway!"

Another Austrian here. 130k IC dev jobs are pretty much unheard of here. Most senior roles top out at around 80k-90k here and they're definitely not stress free as you're expected to deliver outstanding results at that pay grade and have a high availability, plus, most come with the bullshit "all-in" contracts (basically you wave your rights to paid overtime).

That's why there's a dev shortage here since most Austrians avoid these jobs and move instead to management/consulting/finance where pay is better for less stress as those jobs are much higher up the pecking order when it comes to money and status in the company while devs are seen as replaceable cogs.

While the standard of living is good here with decent social services, Austria is definitely not a good market for devs. Maybe better than places like Italy/Spain/Portugal but worse than the other major tech hubs in Europe, including places in Eastern Europe like Bucharest or Warsaw when you factor in the brutal taxes and high CoL in Austria.

Cool! I didn't think the tracking cameras was on during the summer. But I guess Southern Norway still have some dark hours.
Feels like sloppy journalism the way the article half-assedly doesn't explain how the magic works. The tracking occurs because many QR codes have URLs like some-analytics-server.tld/restaurant=mcdonalds&city=chicago&branch=downtown that record your scan and then redirect to maybe mcdonalds.com/menu/ . Instead the article writes:

> That’s because QR codes can store digital information such as when, where and how often a scan occurs.

Huh? QR codes can store anything, but how are these infos being stored on the codes themselves?

> They can also open an app or a website that then tracks people’s personal information or requires them to input it.

Yeah, if that tracking server also has Facebook/Google embeds they can probably have even more analytics about you.

I should write a "privacy protecting QR code scanner" and be... $4.95 richer from the people who care about privacy buying the $0.99 app.
Oh, at my school it was just a flat addition.

Maybe where you live.

Where I live, cars are a necessity. The planet belongs to all of us, rural people don't make that much pollution.

So I'm fine with car-bashing where it's not needed for decent living. Where cars are needed, they should be left alone or else we're legislating a lower standard of living for peer residents.

> It seems to be Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" written at the very top of the library punch cards.

Each card has some text printed on the top row. The bulk of the card is a grid of pre-printed numbers. Punching out holes on the card lets you represent data in a standardised character format, where successive columns represent individual characters (from top to bottom). For example, in the IBM 80-column format [0]. The text printed on the top of a card makes individual cards human-readable.

When I first encountered computers, in approx 1979, this was how we programmed them. Now get off my lawn, with your new-fangled glass-teletypes.

This touches on my key insight with CSS (and programming in general), in that if you have a problem with your page layout, that probably probably exists in the code you’re already written, so adding more code on top will only make things more difficult.

Step back, understand exactly why the layout is acting why it is, and address that problem rather than just monkey patching a hack on top.

Bizarre comment. You initiated it by suggesting the UK has erected "giant trade barriers" but then reply saying nobody cares about trade tariffs? And then immediately in the second sentence go on to compare trade tariffs globally? What exactly is your point as it isn't really cutting across?

It's the unfortunate reality of trying to write an OS these days: we are drowning in hardware. There is just way too huge a variety of hardware out there and basically no standards for interfacing with it requiring a ludicrous number of drivers to support anywhere close to everything.

At this point, my advice to anyone wanting to create a brand new OS would be to limit their scope to something like the Raspberry Pi line so they have a very limited set of hardware they have to support[0]. Of course, Haiku started long before the Raspberry Pi existed so that wasn't really an option for them.
