Not here. Our lawns need to be watered daily and treated frequently with chemicals that pollute every waterway for miles.

Stop any of that and the grass starts dying immediately. It's common here to see folks resod every year if not multiple times.
American socialists should take the title to mean "these employers are probably the only ones where those workers could get a job, so we should leave these employers alone", but the truth is exactly the opposite - these employers are scrutinized every day and treated like exploiters.
Yeah, tech interviews are so subjective. We have started giving take-home coding exercise to counter some of the similar issues. This way, the candidate gets to work on a relatively practical problem in a non-pressure environment.
pretty sure it's a generational thing, and unfortunately, a disappearing habit.
Yikes! win 10 or newer?
Win 10 has screen record, with or without audio, built in.

I'm always looking for quick simple browser based things to suggest to friends, and if there is anything cheaper than corel videostudio (when it's on sale) - for win 8, win 7 - which is my preferred tool for the past so many years.

I do suggest putting win 10 only prominently.

After reading this page, I think Lasko perhaps is not using "slave labour": https://www.lasko.com/social-responsibility/
For diagramming, I really only do it to document connections between things. Everything is either a chunk of text, optionally in a box or circle; a line or arrow; or a note beside the first two. It emerges directly from what I'm thinking without much extra thought, and usually gets discarded or rewritten before anyone else reads it, or if there's too much crossed out.

Sort of like a swap file, where if the number of items gets bigger than my working memory, I dump some of them onto a sheet of paper rather than thinking about all of them at once.

I'm interested in hearing how other people approach diagrams, because I bet there are a lot of different approaches, and no one size fits all.
I don't find the second one dubious. It's almost a truism, though perhaps it seems that way to because I have an Economist subscription and they've been saying that sort of thing for a decade (ie that economic success isn't necessarily correlated to individual freedom).
A choice of one isn't much of a choice. HOA neighborhoods are also populated with people who live there because it was the only place they could get into or was least awful choice they had.

Nope.

Python doesn't have a do..while loop, so when you want to do a thing at least once, the simplest replacement is starting the loop with "while 1:" and ending the loop with "if ... break".

I disapprove of any linter that flags this idiom.
Seems like the same as in multithreaded programming, in which you can’t let threads share memory without synchronizing else you get data races and corruption.

That is not the same at all. The equivalent would be that your reference is pointing to some other object in the scene.

This is an anecdote, and even if accepted it doesn't do anything show uniformity.

You have chosen short focal lengths. That's fine.

> With regards to documentary photography, which is trying to portray things as authentically as they happen, by your standards, normal lenses would be the principle option because of the distortionless proportional perspective, but this is empirically not the case.

That is not my standard.
For central hvac systems, standard systems typically have a filter grille for each return (where the air goes in).

You can also add on a higher performance filter on the return side. Something like a Trion Air Bear.
White House tackles housing shortage with plan for 100k affordable homes
We have the tech now for interstellar travel and we had it since the 1960s in the form of Project Orion - the only issue is that it needs a couple thousands thermonuclear warheads to work. And I'm sure better options will show up over time, as space infrastructure develops.

As for habitable planets - we already quite heavily modify the one we live one to suit us better (eq. I would freeze to death where I live without heating in the winter) so large habitats built from in space resources might be a better option anyway long term.
why "while 1:" and not "while true:"?
New AMD Patent Proposes Teleportation to Make Quantum Computing More Efficient
This makes sense to me. It's like we're peering into a portion of the main logic in a function with one frozen global state and ignoring the idea that there are zillion global variables that can alter that logic.
Even clearer:

scale = 5
# The alternative would be exponentials with range(),
# but it's clearer to use 'while'
# pylint: disable=[while-used]
while (scale > 0.1):
do_stuff(scale)
scale = scale/2

Less sarcastically, how about:

scales = itertools.takewhile(
lambda n: n > 0.1,
functools.reduce(lambda x, y: x / y, itertools.repeat(2), 5)
)
map(do_stuff, scales)

This would be even easier with an 'iterate(x, f)' function which generated (x, f(x), f(f(x)), ...), but I couldn't find one in Python's builtins:

scales = takewhile(
lambda n: n > 0.1,
iterate(5, lambda x: x / 2)
)
map(do_stuff, scales)
This is the reality of the situation and, frankly, should be a top-level comment. I don't really have a horse in this overall race but IMO your factual perspective is spot-on -- this has happened, plenty of times, by actual humans.

Just like anything else, it may not be common (or it may be 'uncommon') but, to say that it never happens, is plainly, clearly and objectively false.
Home Quarantine SA has live facial and geolocation verification
Yes, but read further, there is no method to test whether the object I pointed to still exists. You have to listen for a signal that the object is leaving the scene and manually clear your reference.

Yet another reaffirmation that physical access is game over.

"But the case is locked!" Are the peripherals? Even if the case connectors are locked away behind a bird-box/knockout, if someone left one of these dangling unplugged off of the keyboard, do you think your field technician won't unlock the box and plug it right back in?
>trees really wanna kill you.

Trees don't care about you one iota. I guarantee, humans are much more deadly to trees than trees are to humans.

>This is one of the reasons why suburban developers don't go out of their way to plant forests

The main reason is that it is hard (read expensive) to route plumbing around roots and what not, so it's much easier to just tear them down and work from a flat area. It's typical WASP mentality to move into a space, kill off all of the original inhabitants, and then claim it as your own.

>The other reason why uniform lawns

Yes, grass lawns help keep the soil from erroding away from the foundation. Once the lawn is established, it defintely makes it more difficult for foreign grass to grow.

> That's almost 3 hours a week, dude.

Lawn care doesn't have to be a race. I enjoy my weekly lawncare routine. It's a nice moderate outdoor workout pushing a mower, raking, trimming, etc. When you get done, you get to sit on the patio, enjoy a tasty beverage, and feel good about what you accomplished. Then again, I grew up outdoors more than I was indoors back when kids did that kind of thing.

If you despise outdoors, heat, sweat, physical work, then of course you'll hate yard work.
You always have to implicitly trust your email provider no matter who it is. Or run it yourself, but I assure you that is not fun.

BTW, there's historical precedence, check what happened during the Spanish flu pandemic.

Reddit seeks to hire advisers for U.S. IPO
As soon as laugh at someone's death, and make judgements on if they deserved it or not, we devalue Human life. That can't be a net positive. No matter what we think of their behavior. .. once your laughing at death, where is the philosophical barrier between that and seeing disabled people as useless eaters?

The reason people are dieing is at least partially because of complete lack of leaders action to fund pandemic prevention efforts in the past years despite clear evidence and warnings of the need to do so.

Canada, UK, France, Germany are not more authoritarian than before?

If anything, these countries (^) have had a bigger growth in authoritarianism than US,Russia,China in the past ~decade.You just don't hear about it because the press in W.E is so biased you probably get more reporting in some parts of China(HK) and Russia.(due to the US press there)
Frankly, EU(28*),Canada, AUS and NZ derailed the most when it comes to tyrannical laws, privacy, transparency of leadership, etc.
US,Russia & China have been like this for a while now, if not ~ever (in modern history at least).
If anything, China has been de facto becoming more and more fascist(incorporating into its government and state body the rapid-growing companies that rose due to capitalism, ironically)
Why not both? Better to run the service applications yourself. You have the IP and don't have the tech lock-in of a library.
Formally Russia is. Of course the reality is a bit different but they still do a lot of things that would not fly in China.

And yes every country gets worse over the time.
That's PERL right there.

Makes way more sense to my brain to read:

print unless $x ~ /end$/;

then

print if $x !~ /end$/;

I used to get flack for using not just if expressions as ternaries, but also for using unless. Then I started teaching PERL at my company and drilled it into all the fresh new minds.
This comment made me think a bit. There is some minimum level of wage + benefits that a worker needs to survive. And the tendency is for wages for unskilled workers to fall to exactly that level. In other words wages + benefits = bare minimum living expenses. So that supports sanders statement. In that case, if you start giving people benefits, they will just displace wages.

BUT, your statement that increased benefits give leverage to workers to demand more pay also rings true. If the worker can simply quit, and go looking for a new job, without becoming homeless, then that’s leverage. So that would increase wages.

I think maybe both are true but in different situations: if you start at zero benefits, and start adding benefits, at first wages will decrease in equal measure. But then once the benefits become great enough that the worker can live on them alone for some period of time, it starts to push wages back up again.

That would be my guess as to what’s going on.
Are there any benchmarks (performance)?

It's routine here to see people spending an hour every day maintaining their lawns. Over the course of a week they're pulling weeds, fertilizing, watering and patching their grass.

They have to or else it dies/gets overrun almost immediately. They get crispy after 2-3 days w/o water. Start dying in a week. Lawns here are a freaking nightmare to keep up.
Agreed. By definition a "good investment" goes up more than inflation.

Do you want houses to keep going up more than inflation?

If no, then they can't be a "good investment".

The crazy thing here is people complain about their economy slumping. Imagine what would happen if we didn't have all this money going into houses... the money won't disappear. It will go somewhere in search of "good investment".
Truisms are some of the things you should test the most, because it you don't, people just keep making the wrong assumptions. Think bleeding with medicine.
I agree with the general concept of "Tools that enforce "expert level" coding standards do make code more concise, but also less comprehendible for the less experienced developers." but this does not seem applicable here - it's not "expert level" coding, the suggested method is obviously readable to anyone who writes Python and is something that a programmer who has never used Python would learn in their first day of learning Python, it's not an advanced concept.

Probably the whole concept of idiomatic Python is that there shouldn't be different styles of Python to which you graduate according to skill or experience, but rather that the simple, readable way of writing things should be done by everyone, always, from novices to experts. Code-golfing with dense weirdness would be "anti-Pythonic" but this ternary expression would be readable even for if someone who's never seen Python would read it as pseudocode in some theoretical CS paper.
You don't need the walrus operator, as keyword args are valid.

f(x=a if b else c)

Should be valid. All the walrus gets you is making the x "infect" the surrounding namespace which is surprising.
i think the key point is that the linter doesn't ban anything. nobody is proposing removing while statements from the language. if you have a valid case for disobeying the linter, then you can disable the linter for that line: https://pylint.pycqa.org/en/latest/user_guide/message-contro...

(if a project unconditionally bans PRs that don't pass the linter, that's a different issue, and not really the linter's fault)
I'm saying the source is saying this is what to use, which was confirmed by reading the source and seeing the "deprecated" version was not even related to the project whatsoever.

Dan is the guy that has been with the docker project through the redhat fork and to the creation of podman from the very beginning. If he says podman machine is what to use, it is not deprecated. Have you ever listened to Dan speak? He's very pragmatic about these things.

Being one of the authoritative decision makers, if he says to use it, it is not deprecated. A literal 1 minute perusal of the podman upstream source confirmed.

My favorite way to write that is with expression oriented langauges. Example in OCaml:

x = if condition() then 5 else 4

I dislike how the regular order of if is changed when used as an expression. I don't know how you could retrofit that into existing Python tough. Probably a consequence of defining blocks with whitespaces.
>we've never lost a craft

Can you explain? My comment was in the context of Columbia.

“An investigation board determined that a large piece of foam fell from the shuttle's external tank and breached the spacecraft wing.”[1]

I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt with your definition of “we”. But your tone seems to point directly to the types of biases I referred to. It’s worthwhile to research the history of the industry as an whole.[2] Prior to the disaster, do you know NASAs response? “Foam shedding happens all the time…it’s ‘in family’ and not a problem.” It was still out of spec for a good reason. The term from the investigation report is “normalization of deviance”.

It seems even as technology progresses, we’ll still be anchored by faults in human psychology.

I think this is the main thing that prevents HATEOAS to be implemented. I'm very interested in it, but many "web apps" now needs more polished interaction and network resilience. I'm not saying it can't be done with an HTML-render centric codebase, but it's still uncommon.
Ask HN: Would you use a Third-party SaaS boilerplate to bootstrap SaaS startups?
As a techie, I can write all the boilerplate code for standard stuff like auth, billing, payments, email distribution etc etc. OR I can buy/use off-the-shelf startup boilerplate source code.

Both choices have their pros and cons. First choice gives me higher confidence, customization and know-how but it could be very time consuming.

While the latter choice may save me a lot of time, but i don't feel comfortable taking someone GitHub repo and using it as base for my SaaS. My main worry is that it may take me even longer in the long term to understand that code and maintain/extend it.

How have you tackled the above situation ?
This is not needed, is not effective, is not efficient, and is not prudent.
Sorry dumb question , but is that the ratio of home price to monthly rent ?
People are actually very bad about judging the past to the present in a unbiased way. That's why we think we are better at predictions than we really are. It's also why one of the most common essays since written word has existed is complaining about how everything is going downhill. This is why unbiased, scientific studies are important to inform our intuition.
I notice that you've now tried twice to attack my character in this thread rather than participate in the discussion of the topic; once by claiming an outrageous belief that I don't believe, and once by claiming that I'm refusing to discuss the topic with anyone who disagrees with me. See also the reply to your other attempt where your question evidences either a failure to read my original comment, as instead of contradicting the argument presented (which answers the question you asked) or an attempt to water down my original post by asking my to repeat myself for no relevant purpose to the discussion except to take up my time and grant implied validity to your framing.

As my history represents, I do quite often spend an unusually high amount of time in discussions on the site, sometimes farther into the weeds than the site generally has good UI for, when people are engaging with a conscious desire to converse, even when we disagree. I rarely choose to end participation in a thread before the other persons tires of replying, but I make a special exception for threads about gender and race, because in those areas there are known conversational tactics that involve draining time and credibility through sealioning.

As your history represents, you have on multiple occasions attempted to change the course of conversations about race and racism from race and racism to anything but race and racism, which does not suggest that it's productive to engage with you at length on the topic of racism that I'm discussing here today. Whether or not we'd end up agreeing, it's not useful to others for me to enable that for you, and it's not the conversation I'm here to have today. You are of course welcome to start your own thread with your beliefs, but I'm not required to help you do so. I understand this will feed into whatever conspiracy theory you're trying to promote, but I have dessert waiting in the kitchen and that's more important to me right now than your opinion of me.

I encourage you to email any complaints you have about my behavior here to the mods directly to the address in the footer contact link, but I must also advise that you'll find that HN guidelines are not compatible with implied accusations of bad faith behavior in the manner you're doing here. As the guidelines indicate, if you feel that I am participating in bad faith on HN, email the mods.
I think the insinuation that other countries are leaning authoritarian because China overtook the US in purchasing power is making some dubious assumptions about the way that world politics work.

That economic success isn't necessarily correlated to individual freedom seems like a weaker claim (although equally dubious in my mind, as freedom index and, say, income per capita look very strongly correlated to me)
That is still sort of true, it was instagram, then snapchat and now tiktok.

Time will tell how long tiktok lasts. I find as time goes on the internet is less fluid than it used to be.
Are you sure things aren't better now than 40 years ago? Everything is certainly more affordable for the average American and the standard of living is higher than ever. Sure, there was a run on toilet paper when the pandemic started and wood prices at Home Depot right now are through the roof (heh), but my gut feeling is the trade off is worth it.

To continue your analogy it's like the world's supply chains stopped colocating their own servers, shedding unused capacity, in favor of AWS. Sure, there will be a hiccup under unexpected load, but new instances will spin up soon enough and meanwhile you've saved a ton of money, resources, and energy when demand was low.
