Between explicit boilerplate vs. hidden magic, give me the boilerplate every time. At least then it is obvious (maybe painfully obvious) what code is executing. Hidden magic is the worst since code should be optimized for reading and diagnosing, not for write-time which only happens once.

It seems the did in fact say such a thing that you said they didn't say.

I imagine you're misinterpreting what I said. That's reasonable, I can see how I was not clear.

I was saying that there's no way there's a single team at MS that does not have a competent person on it, not that there's no way ALL teams have 0 competent people on it.
"Several meta-analyses of multiple studies found that the risk of being involved in a crash significantly increased after marijuana use13—in a few cases, the risk doubled or more than doubled.14–16 However, a large case-control study conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found no significant increased crash risk attributable to cannabis after controlling for drivers’ age, gender, race, and presence of alcohol."

from https://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/research-reports/mari...

I wonder how much marijuana actually contributes to crashes. I think people can certainly get too high to drive, but unlike alcohol which lowers inhibitions, being 'too high' could even increase inhibitions somewhat (more anxiety, paranoia), so I'd expect people too high to drive are much less likely to get behind the wheel than drunk people. I certainly buy that 0.1% BAC + marijuana is probably worse than 0.1% BAC alone, but I'm curious what a just legal limit would be in comparison to 0.08% BAC regulations. What BTHCC produces equivalent impairment to 0.08% BAC, and how does that interact with THC tolerance?

Are people who consume thc multiple times per day worse drivers than people who never consume thc, when both groups are sober? I'd imagine there is a tolerance effect where stoned frequent-users are better drivers than stoned infrequent-users.

Would be interesting to try to make a cabinet arcade-style driving game that would accurately predict actual-road driving ability. Could even be used as a tool to demonstrate the dangers of drunk driving by putting it into bars and letting people try when above the legal limit (definitely some dangers of giving people good scores when they perform well while drunk though...)

Unjust laws are not to be respected, and should be challenged through every avenue available. The Will of the People and their elected representatives brought us slavery, the internment of the Japanese, and horrific medical testing without consent on minorities (to name a few democratically supported gross human rights violations) after all.

The executive branch isn’t going to take any actions that support Texas in this matter from an antitrust perspective (Biden’s comments have made it exceptionally clear where they stand on Texas’ legislation as an assault on the rights of women).
I've been a serious Todoist user for years. I even built an extension app[1]. Todoist wins on number and ease of interfaces. Today I've used it on a desktop app, web app, phone, watch and CLI. It totally loses on complex cases (many people, subprojects, dependencies, integrations). I've found that using it with just one other person (an assistant) is stretching it, and a team is right out.

So, focusing on fonts and types in particular:

I drifted a way from worrying about typefaces but for awhile was really focused on them for publication reasons.

Things have changed a lot in the last 10 years or so because of Google Fonts and other similar things but my impression has always been:

1. For whatever reason, there seems to be this black-and-white schema that font licenses either need to be ridiculously expensive and locked down, or completely free. I've never really understood why you couldn't go buy a personal use of a font (with generous use allowances) for say, 10 USD. The idea that people might actually be willing to pay if it were affordable seems lost, probably because it's usually large firms commissioning the typefaces to begin with. But if you make it for an initial project, reap the benefits, and can relicense it, why not do so understanding that you might make some money from large numbers of small purchases? (For what it's worth, I think similar issues arise in other areas where there's overly restrictive IP -- you get this black-and-white seesaw between draconian IP and totally libre offerings as a blacklash, with nothing in between).

2. What seems to evolved in some cases is some initial commission by a large firm, followed by libre licensing afterward, which makes some sense to me. Then the designer gets paid a large fee, people get to ooh and aah at the beautiful font, and the company gets extra advertising for commissioning a nice libre font. It's basically a form of advertising -- people download the font and see that company A paid for it, and then they get some branding association. The desire for fresh branding and individuating, along with goodwill, is part of what drives the commissions. Or put some relatively brief term on the commercial font, after which it becomes open.
> "say "oh nevermind jodrellblank already said on HN Apple won't do that""

I didn't say Apple won't do that, I said "Apple said they won't do that". I'm not making a claim of what will happen, I'm reporting a fact of what Apple said, which was this:

"“We have faced demands to build and deploy government-mandated changes that degrade the privacy of users before, and have steadfastly refused those demands. We will continue to refuse them in the future.”" and "“Let us be clear, this technology is limited to detecting CSAM stored in iCloud and we will not accede to any government’s request to expand it.”"[1]

IIRC the CDC says there is evidence that vaccinated individuals can spread the delta variant. So it's important for everyone to continue to wear masks, even those vaccinated. It helps keep those who can't get vaccinated safe, and it helps reduce load on the hospitals so people can get timely treatment for other concerns. Additionally, breakthrough cases are a breeding ground for further evolution of the virus.

Bullshit. Vacation [1] IS the answer for burnout. Long vacations are even more ok for burnout. Sabbaticals are the most ok. Guess what a doctor would recommend you do if you're having health issues from burnout?

If there's chronic burnout in your company/org then indeed, no amount of vacation will fix that. But neither would flexible work hours or mental health support.

[1] Vacation means complete and total disconnect from work or work related activities. That goes beyond not checking work emails. I'm talking no leetcode or learning some new JS framework.

98%-99% of the deaths are from those who are unvaccinated and/or refuse to wear masks.

https://medicalpartnership.usg.edu/covid-19-staggering-stati...

No sadness from me, unless it is for children who are under 18-years-old. Because they have such sh-tty useless POS parents.

As a matter-of-fact, I think that those who have not had a vaccination and don't wear masks should not be allowed to go to the hospitals for treatment, and take beds from those who are sick and HAVE had the vaccine. F them, completely. And I read a lot of articles from rabid anti-maskers/anti-vacciners, who contracted Covid, and are in a hospital, that they take it all back and that they were wrong. Well, those people can go right to hell. I don't believe in a god or afterlife, but if there is, I hope they get sent straight to hell.

Anti-vaccers and anti-maskers say that they want their freedom, which is why when I know one of my neighbors is unvaccinated, I take a big sh-t in front of their driveway 2-3 times per week, because I want that total freedom and not worry about others, too. If they don't like it, they don't have to go outside (which is what unvaccinated say to the vaccinated and mask wearers).

> You are mistaking the highway road crew for mechanics

The highway road crew know what a car is, though, right? They know that the road needs to be clear and flat and drained of water, and the markings need to be clear, so that cars can drive on it.

When the devs come to you complaining about flat tires, you can't turn round and say 'this is a mechanic issue, I don't know how tires are meant to work. They go on the bottom, right?' - you're meant to help check for rusty nails or bits of metal in the road that are causing all these flats.

'Oh, I didn't realize that was something that could cause trouble for cars'

Well then you're a pretty crappy highway maintenance guy.

If someone builds their own .iso or shares the information to do so, they will have their post deleted and be banned.

>A post submitted to /r/zorinos was acquired by using DHT scraping to find the ZorinOS 16 Pro download. It also verified that the SHA256 sum matched the one on the ZorinOS website which rules out any potential for malicious activity.The post was specifically removed for “software piracy”.

That is a naive perspective. You really think everyone is acting on their own accord? Most just want to follow along and don't question anything. Peer pressure is the norm. History is full of examples.

Also, what a massive coincidence that the disagreement is aligned with politics, right? You would think a real threat to humanity would create a more unified response, and partisan perspectives would be lethal to hold. We're approaching 2 years of a deadly virus, yet the disagreements are intensifying, not dissipating.

As I always say in these threads, I would be happy to pay Microsoft for a Windows license that doesn't have Cortana, Teams, telemetry uploads, the app store, etc. I just want to run applications that through past probably-illegal monopolistic actions, require APIs that only exist on Windows machines. Accept that you are just boring plumbing, and don't have any "value added services", and you earn my money. (Oh, and ship the damn patch for Hyper-V that adds nested virtualization on AMD processors. It's been in preview builds for like 2 years!)

Why has your organization built a one-size-fits-all ops organization if it doesn't have a one-size-fits-all dev organization? Sounds like a failure of ops organization to recognize that the needs of the email hosting guys are different from the website team or the billing team. Maybe you should build a set of smaller, more focused ops teams focused on meeting the needs of those different groups?

IME this is a problem of policy, not of Jira. Empower teams to administer their own Jira projects and it’s fine. But if you lock Jira down and make people beg to some distant and aloof gatekeeper every time they want to change anything, then it’s a recipe for frustration.

Having IT own Jira administration is great for IT job security and terrible for everyone else.

(Note: old Jira absolutely encouraged a one-size-fits-all approach to administration. Everything was done with the assumption that it would be cross-project, which created a morass of assigning things things. “New” Jira project are more self-contained, and so much easier to configure)
This whole fight is bizarre. Elementary people requested that the author rename his project to avoid confusion in a way that could be interpreted either as friendly or a veiled legal threat. The author was immediately combative, and didn't calm down after multiple clarifications that they were not looking for a fight, legal or otherwise. He responded by doxxing them, and is now attempting to "expose" them for this.

No they weren’t. Apologists everywhere.
We're getting into the scary space now where it's becoming feasible for sites to insist on Chrome and drop support for other browsers. I've hit two such apps in the last month where not only did the app not work on FireFox, but the experience was completely broken (blank page, etc). So they aren't even bothering with enough testing to put up a "please use chrome" message.

I use FireFox for everything personal and Chrome for development. I'd encourage others to do the same. Apart from expressing a "vote" for web standards and interoperability, it also ensures that by default you are separating personal from work / dev which makes things a lot easier when you want to nuke all your browser settings / cache / cookies etc.

A personal counterpoint: I do want mental health support from work. Many of the downsides of complex childhood trauma didn’t start to really interfere with my life until my late 20s/early 30s.

When I started really struggling at a job I’d already established myself in, I learned of and am incredibly grateful for the mental health benefits offered by my employer and for leaders who are open, understanding and willing to work with me when things aren’t going well.

When I first had to broach the subject, easily finding resources about the company’s EAP benefits instead of feeling like it was all some hush hush thing really helped reduce the anxiety of opening up about a difficulty topic.
