> He asked the team lead to call a medic (there were medical care worked employed by Amazon) but he refused and offered to walk him to the medic instead.

This is the step that most people would point out as the main 'mistake'. However, a medic without his equipment isn't a lot of use, and it's pretty likely the facility had a medical bay. For a patient who can walk, taking them to the medical bay will probably lead to better care quicker than calling the medic out. Walking there with someone is a very sensible precaution.

Imagine the reverse... Medic called to employee. Medic doesn't have defibrillator in equipment bag (it's filled with stuff for more common accidents). Employee dies because now the medic has to make the journey from the medical bay to the employee four times, taking far too long.

> Having a rich set of changes gives us way more options for merging - eg, they could be merged in a conflict-free way if we want. Or with a custom UI or whatever. Its strictly more information that you can generate with diff-match-patch.

this reminds me of an event store from event sourcing. the file itself is just the on-disk persisted format of the 'permanent undo log'.

Depending on how fancy the system is, one could view all of the changes, the mark a particular change in the past as 'deleted', or modify that change's parameters, or maybe even do a 'this sequence of changes replaces that change there' operation. on disk, there are just more events added to the event stores, while onscreen, the file is re-rendered / re-projected anew to reflect what it would look like as ifthose changes were original. Surely i'm just poorly reinventing CRDTs or DAGs or similar, right?

granted, i don't know how easy it would be to not cascade subsequent edit events if one of their past dependencies was gone, so we'd need to make the events be 'pure functions' (the X-eith thru X+N-eth words equal Y) rather than imperative statements (add text at offset X with content Y)
Yes, he could tell you to go see a doctor.
they care but the other way round: if the device is made out of lightweight and stable high-tech plastic, they complain it feels and locks cheap, and they hate that, regardless if the plastic would be superior to metal, glass or ceramic in almost any way.

Show HN: Mau v2 – A template-based markup language written in Python
Mau is a lightweight markup language heavily inspired by AsciiDoc that makes it a breeze to write blog posts or books. If you already know Markdown or AsciiDoc you already know which type of software Mau is, and you will quickly learn its syntax.

The main goal of Mau, however, is to provide a customisable markup language. While Mau's syntax is fixed by its implementation, its output is created through user-provided templates. This strategy gives the user great flexibility with no added complexity.

I currently use Mau to write posts for my blog The Digital Cat (https://www.thedigitalcatonline.com/) and to write my book Clean Architectures in Python 9https://leanpub.com/clean-architectures-in-python). The Mau documentation is also written using Mau.

Source code: https://github.com/Project-Mau/mau

In fact, this is actually an issue that can only be properly solved in the browser, hence the need for security projects like DOMPurify in the past.

The reason being that all browsers parse potential XSS (and mXSS) content slightly differently so that a server side sanitizer by definition will never parse content in exactly the same way as a specific version of a given browser, since it's not sharing exactly the same runtime.

This semantic gap between browser rendering quirks and server side approximations can be exploited by an attacker to slip content past the server side sanitizer.

And that's why the browser vendors are actively working with Cure53, the author of DOMPurify, in order to ship Sanitizer API.

I'm just surprised this has taken so long.

It's not actually an appeal to authority as such - authority implies (usually) institutional accreditation, whereas here we are pointing out the situation is so complex opinions without years of study are more or less pointless.

Then, when we have two e.g. physicists, who both know quite well what they are discussing, and one of them is more famous and potentially through their prestige succeed in ridiculing their less recognized colleague, we are at the "appeal to auhority" position.

One famous example is that of Ernst Mach who was was positivist (i.e. did not respect theory whose constituents you could not directly measure) and ridiculed Boltzmanns kinetic theory of gases because Mach did not believe in atom theory (!). Boltzmann's theory was effectively attacked precisely from position of authority.

So, if a layman and a physicist argue what is possible, it is very likely while both of them may be wrong, the layman likely does not have any understanding what their position implies.

So in my opinion, you can have a pathological appeal to authority sort of situation only when two equally skilled persons have an argument an the institutional prestige of one of them is used as an appeal for them.
> This is solving an issue in the browser that should be solved server side.

This doesn't make much sense to me, my app doesn't even rely on any servers, what do you suggest I do then?

> Where is this data they are sanitizing coming from?

It's untrusted, what does it matter where exactly it comes from?

> Why would you want every browser treating this differently?

Why do you say that each browser would tread this differently? There's a spec for how this should work: https://wicg.github.io/sanitizer-api/
Holeup a second.

Right at the beginning when writing your script you must have known that the random generator would end up creating valid numbers? Expecially when run for tens of thousands cases?

There exist test ranges of numbers that are allocated in order to accommodate this type of testing and avoid exactly this problem.
I made a police report in Thailand many years ago at the local police office.

The lady at the desk insisted that, rather than writing my home address down, I pronounced it so that she could transcribe it into Thai script.

I always wondered what they would use my home address in Thai letters for.

I am sure the Swedish postal service would have a hard time if they ever decided to write me a follow up letter.

I also wonder what it would look like if they realized that it should need to be in Latin alphabet and they had to translate back it before sending.
A lot of German amazon packages (esp warehousedeals but not exclusively) will be shipped from Poland though. It's simply cheaper for Amazon given the huge wage difference and the relatively short distance (<10h by truck from Western Poland to pretty much all of Germany).

> ...a financial company with a million customer target, probably didn’t need a cloud-based, micro services architecture.

Only a million? There aren't hugely many scenarios where cloud-based microservices would beat a monolith at that small scale.

Where many such decisions bog down is in re-engineering existing processes into microservices, or cloud, or simultaneously both. If you're starting out brand-new in a white space, then yes, by all means dive into that if you also possess the operational expertise to run it (another area I see a lot of stumbling). Functionally lift and shift strategies into the cloud is still frequently decided upon by well-meaning C-levels even this late into the cloud era, and they are still unerringly shocked at the resultant bills. Those with massive legacy infrastructures get seduced by the promised 10X cost reductions, and overlook the fine print it will cost them 10-100X current total spend as capital spend to get there. The future is always unevenly distributed.
It's a little unfortunate that they keep the minute part numeric, since this has the same problem as displaying UTC times for India - India Standard Time has a 30-minute offset in addition to an hour offset, so "K:43" in hTime is "16:13" in Delhi.

To add to this — I suffer from Ménière's disease, which manifests for me as variable hearing loss. Some days are bad, and I can hardly hear/understand speech even when someone is right in front of me and I can lip-read. Some days are good, and my hearing aids are uncomfortably loud or make things sound "weird". But most days, my hearing aids do exactly what I need them to :-)

I've had audiograms taken on moderate and bad days, and the difference in frequency response was significant (up to 30dBA difference across only the lower frequency bands).
I remember the scene in the TV show "How I met your mother" where one of the main characters, Marshall, goes to visit his dad's grave with a BBQ and some beers to watch a game(of football?) with his dad like they always used to. I thought it was extremely unusual but actually, kind of lovely.

Where I come from(Poland) cemetaries are almost sacred, instead of halloween we celebrate "wszystkich świętych"(all saints day) where everyone does the annual pilgrimage to the graves of their families to pay their respects. At the end of the night every cemetery is glowing with candles, all graves are adorned with flowers and other decorations it's all very solemn and sirious - I think the idea of a "picnic" at a cemetery would be seen as very disrespectful here - but it's still very interesting.

That one is easy, useless education up to 8P, check the books used for these classes, it's a total joke. Add a fairly large non native language immigration, and you have kids up to 7 years old who can't speak more than one sentence in the local language (only my daughter could speak French properly in her class, in 4P, she is the only one who can actually read so far, her teacher says so to her class ffs).

Also don't forget that generally non science path are for the second rate students in europe, and the HES are generally also targeted to drop out students, and you get such results.

That particular test was funny as the students were arguing the course prepared them for another tests, yeah, correcting primary school level essay needs an actual course to find French mistakes. That tells everything on the so call great Swiss education.

Biggest complication with calendars is converting between them, or rather, knowing what was the calendar in use when a particular date is mentioned.

If I say an event happened on January 5th, 1603, you can't really know what was the date in present day calendar (proleptic Gregorian calendar) really without a bit more context.

And adding a new calendaring system, even if it reduces some ambiguities, does not help, but quite the opposite.

Of one wants an unambiguous date and time measure that covers arguably all of human history, julian day numbers (JDN) are a perfectly suitable measure. It's similar to the Unix epoch, except that it's in days and starts a bit earlier :)
Just that men earn more money and have more wealth than women when looking at population averages. In many cultures women are expected to marry and look after the kids while the men work, and that expectation carries over into education opportunities, parental support, hiring decisions and so on.

Bear in mind that in Europe "plant new forest" means "change land use from agriculture" or "change non-forest ecosystem such as moorland to forest". There's isn't a lot of land that's just spare.
They're generally not circumvented to "drive a bunch more hours". That's a fools game. You need to take breaks eventually. Cramming more hours into the work week doesn't actually help you in the long term because the human body can't sustainably run on unsafe amounts of sleep. The books get cooked to avoid wasting valuable on-duty hours while sitting around waiting to be loaded/unloaded.

They generally are circumvented to make it to the receiver or next shipper within a given "shift". So instead of stopping 1hr from the receiver you might cook the books, get there, go off duty, sleep, etc. They unload at their convenience before you clock back in and then you cook the books again making it look like you're still off duty when driving an hour to your next load where you repeat the same 2-6hr loading delay shitshow. Then you cook the books a third time running 30min across town to somewhere you can get prepared food and park, hit up the massage parlor, etc, whatever it is you do to burn half a day off duty.

So instead of burning a work day doing busy work and sitting in your truck watching movies on an ipad you've accomplished a 34hr reset in that time and most of those 34ish hours were in fact spent off duty.
It's still work in progress. Finding the installers wasn't hard, but my parents are old and the options are complex, so it took them a while to select the vendor and heat pump.

Right now they are awaiting government approval for their application (it's been very popular and they are swamped, and even had to increase the budget allocation). They also had to do preliminaries like upgrade their electrical connection and add 3-phase wiring in the home, as well as build a concrete platform outside the house to stand the heat pump on.

The heat pump itself should be a drop-in replacement that uses the existing hot water radiators (which means it can't be used as A/C, unfortunately).
Anecdotally, a notorious real estate developer named Blackstone where I lived got into a lot of heat, and afterwards rebranded to a local-language version of "DearCity".

Hm, so instead of

you wanted the opposite: warn when a null check is there and was actually required :).
