A good job is one where you do the same thing in the same place with the same people year after year. Such a job should offer good benefits and be exceptionally stable.

In contrast working as a contractor, intentionally contributing to more than one job per year, taking a big salary hit to be on a cool project with cool people are all things that are completely and utterly insane. No reasonable people would do such a thing.

And one of my side project was a mini MPORG with no combat, just some puzzles. Obviously no one can make good money providing something like that, and turning such a thing into a good job opportunity is not possible.

Take your meds and get a steady job at a big company, or better yet the Federal Government.

It is kind of surprising to me that this is considered so odd. Have any long time tech workers here tried to explain how their work is organized to anyone who has worked for the federal government for a decade or two? Maybe I was just lucky.
That is why application servers use multiple classloaders isolated from each order, and in stuff like WebSphere you can even specify which overrides which.
No, these only put the health system under stress that we are used to. Remember that story about that guy in Mississippi who had trouble finding an ICU bed? If you look at the real data it turns out the vast majority of these beds are not in use by people with covid, but by people with other problems, like heart diseases. You know, the problems caused by that lifestyle that’s a-ok because we’re used to the problems it causes.
frameworks as all other mentioned but dont expect it to solve all your problems though eventually you will have to learn abit if you are doing it solo, i find doing it after a heavy 'backend' session is refreshing, instantly seeing results can be very nice when other stuff gets hard.
Usually one way is to have your own classloader for example.

I am surprised why medium is so popular for technical/coding articles, despite not having any support for rendering syntax highlighted code snippets and math symbols.
Saying that tabs-on-top killed Firefox when it's literally used by the winning browser (Chrome) as well as Edge and Brave is such a peak Hacker News moment. Nitpicking for the one detail that person didn't like and making it look like an obvious mistake everyone else should have seen but somehow hasn't.

Firefox lost because they couldn't keep up and there was little justification for why do you need to use it unless you have sophisticated needs. And the fewer users they had, the less money (coming from the deal with Google) they had to spend on development. This feedback look is what killed Firefox and left it a niche project.

Mozilla's management is also to blame. They expanded into a whole plethora of projects that all have been killed, they bought Pocket and did nothing with it. Yes, it's a non-profit, but there have been discussions on their salaries and bonuses that weren't exactly tied to the one and only metric that mattered – Firefox's share of the total market.

When I first started using Firefox it was Firefox 1.5. Back then it was literally useless without addons and you'd build it yourself, basically. And that made sense because the alternative was to use IE 6 (or Opera). But Google managed to produce a browser that was good enough and every tech person installed it at their parents' computers.
So an unprivileged service can map drive letters on Windows?
Water.css and pinegrow could be options for you, but as others have pointed out its best to just embrace learning css or pay someone to do it for you.

Bootstrap and tailwind would be my other recommendations as they’re well documented and pragmatic.
Entirely irrelevant, empty deflection, to the points I made.

As someone moving from java to python recently, I'm more flabbergasted by python's dependency management than I've ever been with java's. "Classpath hell" hasn't been an issue for almost the last decade in my experience, and things generally just works. Maybe because the big dependencies everyone uses moves slow and are great at backwards compatibility, but upgrading something rarely never breaks, so seldom an issue with two different versions of something.

And modules have solved the issue of "you're actually using something internal from our package that might break in the future".

But in python upgrading something minor quickly wreaks havoc. Everything depends on different versions of something, which are quickly incompatible. So have to pin and do lots of manual testing and fight with pip for a while. Very easy to import and use stuff not supposed to be part of the packages' public api etc. And I find it even harder to know what's actually in use between the global packages, the virtual environment etc., than just looking inside my jar.
This is really cool!

I could imagine something like this but for software/infrastructure architecture, where it would impose a formality/standard of language that would be useful for exchanging ideas, especially in earlier stages of remote collaboration.

This also works really well with the box/tree description I give to people who are new to computer science or systems administration, and looking to understand more. Basically, it's useful to think of stuff in computers as both a series of boxes within each other, and as a tree with a base and branches. Folders start with a big box that contains smaller boxes as you `cd` into other folders, but they're also a tree because you start at the root and travel along branches as you cd.

I wonder if something like this can be used to model the structure of technical documentation and therefore test its validity.
You using my talking points to argue against me is, um, well I honestly can't say. Clearly I'm not explaining myself very well. As someone who's actually done the work, tried to make privacy protecting systems, I can't help but feel that most people have very naive notions about the whole situation. Like virgins dispensing sex advice with grave authority.

It's fine to flap your lips and wiggle your hips about privacy. Advocacy as performance art. I might be more convinced by implementations, systems, code, legislation.

Might I suggest starting with Translucent Databases, or explaining how states might conduct intel on foreign threats without impinging rights of citizens, or sketching financial systems based on zero knowledge proofs, or show how medical research and clinical studies might be done effectively with differential privacy.

Whenever I think about these potential solutions, it breaks my brain. But I'm sure the non-tech people (ACLU, Greenwald, etc) are much smarter than me and will lead the way.

Or we can all demand the impossible -- because Something Must Be Done -- forfeit on practicalities, declare victory, and move on to next outrage.
I would recommend Fomantic UI https://fomantic-ui.com/ (active community fork of Semantic UI) + Semantic UI React https://react.semantic-ui.com/ (which is a React wrapper over Semantic UI, but works with Fomantic UI as well). Almost no CSS writing is necessary, customizability of the React components via props should be enough for MVP and even further.

What? No, careless devs and businesses "killed" data modeling. People care as much about their data structures now as they used to before agile, which means they cared "not a lot".

Agile would push more focus on proper data modeling, as agile promotes changing requirements, devs and stakeholders working together closely and maintaining a constant pace, all things that gets better by proper data modeling and they also help you focus on data modeling.

But then what the Agile Manifesto said and what "Agile/Scrum folks" actually promoted tends to be too different things.
I do this too in some apps. Very near exactly how you show it.

How do you enforce required fields in the data model? By eliminating the possibility of null values, you eliminate the possibility of not-null constraints in the data model. I end up having to enforce these types of (non-complex) constraints outside the relational model. A missing row is not detectable in the same way as a null column value.
Google's "success" with FLoC shows they don't really have that control, not because of the browser for sure. They affected the standard a lot, of course, but hard to see why it wasn't for everyone's benefit considering the apps like Figma we can have now.

Stuff like AMP was mostly brought throughs search alone.
Why on Earth would the police be considered the appropriate service to deal with this situation? There is no overlap between paramilitary law enforcement and social services.

This is where calls for defunding the police come in. Take some of the money spent on using physical force on those whose thoughts do not conform to social norms and use it on a more appropriate agency. We no longer regularly physically restrain and torture the mentally ill in treatment settings. Why do we insist on funding other institutions to do so?
This really doesn't really feel like it tells the whole story. A central claim in the article quotes Rand Paul's exchange with Anthony Fauci, but read this quote from The Intercept:

'That video was edited by Paul’s staff so that it ends before Fauci responded to the senator’s harangue by saying, "I totally resent the lie that you are now propagating, senator, because if you look at the viruses that were used in the experiments... it is molecularly impossible... to result in SARS-CoV-2."'

> you could breach a legally binding contract

But nobody has that contract right now. Not Epic, not Apple, not Valve, not Microsoft, not Google. No PC or mobile store that I'm aware of has clauses that try to take a portion of 3rd-party purchases. It's not just Epic Store "being run at a loss", nobody does this.

So again, you're talking about this like it's the norm and developers are pulling sneaky tricks to avoid it, but as far as I can tell nobody including Apple is trying to collect commissions on individual purchases that happen on other platforms, and it's not clear to me as a non-lawyer that it should be treated as the same category of contract as a general revenue contract. I can't find any current store contract that tells me that the company is entitled to percentages of purchases that happen on a website that they're not interacting with. And given Apple's extreme distaste for linking to other platforms, it seems like they're at least a little hesitant to just put this language in their contract themselves.

Outside of specific revenue contracts, it doesn't seem to be the norm to me. So sure, Apple could start doing this, but it would be a new thing that would seem to be relatively unique among PC/mobile stores, and that goes back to the original question of whether or not a judge would view that as anti-competitive -- is it just a standard extension of a revenue agreement, or is it something else.
Every day 28 people die in the US from drunk driving crashes

Alcohol consumption directly affects people who do not consume it in a multitude of ways from the monetary cost of increased demand on the health care system, police, prisons and damage to public property to the emotional and psychological burden of interacting with the inebriated or dependent to the physical impact of abuse and accidents caused by intoxication.
If you don't want anything bespoke then there are lots of UI libraries around - Tailwind, Bootstrap, Chakra, Fluent, etc.

If you need anything more custom then you have no choice besides diving into HTML and CSS (getting the HTML right makes the CSS much easier). Or pay someone.
Ask HN: Any successful transitions from a tech/IT career to working in the arts?
Asking this to read about some personal stories and/or advice. I read a lot about people transitioning from regular tech/programming jobs to maybe quants/finances etc., but rarely about arts (literature, music, sociology, history etc.).

I got into a CS curriculum right after finishing my high school on a whim; I'd always wanted to pursue a career in literature/writing/journalism from a younger age (but couldn't due to personal reasons). Now that I'm almost 27 and have been in the industry for ~5 years now, I'm wondering if I should decide on taking the plunge, or at least plan for it... since I do feel the friction in transitioning getting a bit higher as I spend more time in this field.
I recommend learning it. I never did and I think it stunted me. The few times I did need to go deep with something, it was actually quite intuitive, interesting, and powerful. But I think I ended up spending so much time working around things just because I didn't know what I was doing, that it would have been more efficient just to sit down and learn it at the beginning.

Try to get the preconception that it's boring grunt work out of your head and just dedicate some time to learn it. You'll be much happier later.

Do start with a framework though.
Yes, there are small usability quibbles. The fully-justified text on narrow phone screens often produces ridiculously spaced-out words.
I guess that some things that "should be simple" are incredibly hard to figure out for beginners in CSS.

I like css, because it is just incredibly powerful, if you know how to use it. There are still some things that could really improve (css needs a "contains" selector that allows you to e.g. select paragraphs that contain an image, without selecting paragraphs that just contain text). Certain things that are common usecases (like centering a container on a page) are not straightforward in all cases etc.

That being said a lot has improved in the last
I can understand your disbelief. But what do you have to back your assertions (that this is "not true" & "misinformation") that we should believe your claims over that of the developer (who has also posted a screenshot of the email he got from Apple)?
Google is literally paying Apple billions for that default search position in Safari.
What kind of control over Safari are they getting through that?

The fact Mozilla squandered those "free" money is their management's fault.
Can't you just use an escape character?

> Some settlers specifically spoke of the wind that rushed through the prairie, which was loud, forceful, and alien compared to what settlers had experienced in their former lives.

https://core.tdar.org/document/441632/the-wind-cries-mary-th...

> A number of conditions such as acute hyperacusis can cause increased sensitivity to environmental sounds. These conditions can result from high stress and have been known to cause behavior consistent with descriptions of prairie madness such as depression, insomnia, and violent behavior.

I also found this interesting case report:

https://casereports.bmj.com/content/2012/bcr-2012-006300.sho...

> Wind direction appeared to be related to the patient's energy levels; these were significantly lower when the wind blew from the southeast. This effect could not be explained by other weather parameters. Decreases in energy in turn predicted increases in anxiety. The reverse effect was observed as well, with increases in anxiety predicting decreases in energy, indicating a positive feedback loop.

It seems plausible that wind from a specific direction through and across certain building structures could produce sound that is causing these variances.

If you're interested in learning more about graphs, you might find my "Graphs for Data Science" substack: https://graphs4sci.substack.com/ where I work though using graph perspectives to analyze real world datasets.
This is my experience. Rather than blindly sending out 200 applications, take that time to find 5-10 positions you think you’d be uniquely qualified for, given your skillset, and tailor your CV to each of them.

I did this and got interviews at every place I applied (straight out of undergrad), and offers from the majority of them.
Dgraph and ArangoDB seems to be doing it well.
It is comparable to the right to refuse treatment, which is in many jurisdictions considered to be a basic civil right.
Dreading CSS? But CSS is awesome! [1]

On a serious note, yes, CSS can indeed be dreadful. I learnt CSS back in 2001 when geocities.com/username was the equivalent of today's username.github.io. The web was simpler and wacky. My approach back then was to design simple websites and then tweak it little by little by adding CSS. Much like learning shell scripting, I think it takes a lot of practice to become fluent in CSS. After encountering a lot of weird issues and learning to resolve them or work around them, one learns to be able to write good CSS quickly that does what is desired while avoiding all its surprises and pitfalls.

My biggest learning moments while learning CSS were also some of the most frustrating moments, e.g., very long words breaking float containment, floats breaking div containment, etc. and then searching blogs on the web (Stack Overflow did not exist yet) to find a fix! A typical fix would look like black magic, e.g., add 'overflow: hidden' for Firefox and IE7, add another 'display: block' for IE6, and hope for the best!

After writing HTML and CSS in this manner like a caveman for those 4 years initially, Firebug arrived in 2005. Firebug, the precursor to today's integrated developer tools, was a game changer! I no longer needed to set backgrounds and borders around every HTML element to figure out how they were rendered and what was breaking. Firebug allowed me to inspect the box model and reason about it with ease. Using the browser developer tools and becoming fluent with the CSS box model is critical to learning CSS these days, I think. In fact, these days, I just open the browser developer tools and edit the styles on the fly to see the results live without having to refresh or rebuild the page. Learning CSS has become easier than before, although not as easy as I would like.

After about two decades of making fancy layouts with CSS, I have now gone back to making really simple web pages that just show a header, the content, and a footer. It feels much calmer this way! Yes, I know that MVPs these days are not built like this anymore. Nevertheless, starting simple and doing simple tweaks, at least for a hobby project could be a good way to learn CSS in my opinion!

Firefox Lockwise actually makes sense. It allows users to keep their passwords in Firefox on desktop and then access them on iOS, for instance.

Chrome just recently turned itself into a password manager on iOS. Agree about all the other projects though.

Someone on the internet is wrong! Or maybe just partially correct.

This is very interesting work. There is some selling going on, not discussing enough about the issues that drove the database community toward relational databases and away from "network" databases in the 1970s.

If you think of visualization systems as a microcosm of more general computing, notice people need more than graphs - they need all kinds of tables, charts, maps, and other things. Same with "graph databases".

This area does exist because the database community underinvested in computing on graphs and networks, the same as it did with usability for a long time. It is still catching up but there is a lot of great work.

Another problem is helping users to understand the cost of what they are trying to compute. Select and join? I can estimate that. Find betweenness centrality of a large network? Find a tour that visits all the cycles of a network exactly once? All the edges? All nodes? Oops. What about graph object types? Is it OK to mix them?

Sometimes I wonder arguments that "graph databases are [more] efficient for linked structures." After 20 or 30 years of intense R&D, relational databases already seem pretty efficient for computing with relationships.
The hard problem of consciousness is already beginning to dissolve
As someone who ran IRC servers in the 90s the technical limitation was the number of file descriptors. I think Linux at the time was limited to 1024 and the biggest server on our network was a DEC Alpha with 4096. The entire network (DALnet at the time) was in the 20-30k user range so we absolutely needed multiple servers.
