Don't ever mention Christmas in a professional setting.

One day I got invited for interview at a famous SV company who has offices in Europe, in a snowy and catholic country.

It was the end of the year, so on the way out, with a good mood I said "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year" to the people I just met.

Later on, the recruiter explained to me that the team felt offended that I used the word "Christmas" (but still got an offer).
Flutter also does this but has an option to fall back to regular DOM elements on lower end devices if needed.
The "college experience" was worth it for me. I hung around a bunch of losers and do-nothings in high school. When I got to college (by way of California community college), it was amazing to associate with people who had ambition and an overall optimistic outlook on life. I had never associated with people like that before and never been in an environment like that before, and it helped me grow as a person like I never imagined possible.

When people talk about the "college experience", I think they're often talking about partying, which I think is unfortunate, because for me the "college experience" was worth every penny.

Does this even mean anything in practice?

When to distribute to LP's is a controversial question for VC's, Some do immediately after IPO & some continue to hold. Seems like Sequoia is just being explicit about potentially holding long term stakes in public companies (with VC Fees?).
"pejorative and racist language" does not equal being racist. The article seems pretty clear that the author had no idea the language had racial roots (if they can be called that given it's kinda racist to assume that a drug den is race related) and therefore they were not being racist. I take that at face value because I also only had a modern surface level knowledge of the term "trap house" from similar contexts.

In a way this seems like the perfect use for an "I'm sorry you were offended" "apology".
I agree it sounds like an ad. A quick search found this however: https://joelx.com/how-to-beat-a-patent-troll-in-east-texas/1...
which makes me think it's legit. Weird it's almost verbatim from the blog post, but hey why bother spending time on a new write-up I guess.
Yes, there's lots of reasons why you don't fly in a straight line from airfield A to airfield B. Whether that's a great circle or just a multi segment line to avoid an airspace restriction I suppose what I was really talking about was "your bearing at any given moment on your course".
If you follow the Nature link from this article, an online viewer with the paper opens (cannot be downloaded from there). The paper has visualizations of the basket and the flow patterns that arise from it (including Anaglyph 3D images?!). Too bad that the article itself did not include any of these images.

Edit: If this does not point to the paper, go back to the article and find the link there.

That's not really what extern "C" does though. It doesn't change the language rules or the parsing or anything, it only changes how symbols are represented in the object file. Extern "C" means they are mangled using C rules (that mostly involves adding an underscore); otherwise it's gonna be C++ rules (and loads more information needs to be encoded).

Some people argue for a similar mechanism, something like 'language "C++20" { .. }', that would allow a program to opt in to changes that would otherwise be breaking changes; mostly new keywords. However, changing actual language rules in such a block would be tricky, to say the least.
Why? Specialization is a thing. Not everyone specializes in security. Which let's be real, being an expert in security is really difficult, especially since it's a constantly moving goal post. Unless you're an expert it's probably not a good idea to roll your own.
Shouldn't that be built into the service fee though? It's not like this is a one time purchase...
The article expressly says that there are other benefits besides financial, for going to college and choosing a major, and that those reasons make sense and are valuable. But that students should make that choice with their eyes wide open.

So this complaint is a bit of a straw man.
What's the timeline on React Server components? It seems next 12 experimental feature of Server component is a very early look? Since React 18 is not out yet, and it's not planned to have Server component in that release.
How confident are you that the government could accurately assess the risk of any technology? Why couldn't I just write the same risks for any given social networking site and copy-paste it every single time I was faced with a compliance form like the one you described. This all just sounds like an exercise in pointless box ticking but that just might be my deep skepticism of governments talking.
Best thing about IMAX for me was the sound. Big screen is great, and helps with the sense of scale of the ships which are stunning, but the stand-out element for me was the ornithopters – their sound design was so good, worth watching in IMAX just for that.
I had every model of the MBP that was released between 2012-2016 and they consistently got too warm to have in my lap, every single one of them. Some of them even when just browsing the web. Fresh install every time I got a new model. After that I simply got tired of not being able to use my laptop as a laptop and jumped ship.
>And imagine that they go away and there's nothing you can do about it.

This strikes me as a rather strange way of looking at it.

The only way there's nothing I can do about it is if I'm dead or seriously injured, and in that case there really is nothing I can do about it, so why worry? :-)

The shift from "there's no Internet/food/water" to "let's start making progress toward resolving this" is easy to make in that moment, and there are plenty of people who have the skills and patience to make it happen. It might take longer than we all might like, but that's fine. As long as we're alive, there's always something to work toward, and always the ability to make some progress.
A possible fix.

If someone owns more than 40% of the market in any service area / aspect, regulate as a utility.

Force open documentation of processes and practices (including weights for algorithms, etc).

Force interoperability requirements to break lock-in and make it easier to use other tools and services. (Anti AT&T device rental / must use the closed source client software.)

If above 60% market share in a service area limit profits as a price-regulated public utility.
Can we still use obscure babel macros with the new Rust compiler? And if so, what do you think the future will look like for babel macros in a future where most build tooling is written in languages like rust/go?
Windows ARM failure to take of so far seems more likely to do with the relative underperformance of Qualcomm chips not the lack of software. Especially since in recent years you've been able to run x86 software anyways.

Windows 10/11 on an M1 Mac via parallels however has been the best Windows ARM device I've ever used and I have no trouble using it daily as my main work laptop.

You misunderstood what he said if that is your TLDR.

Furthermore, this is not the first time privacy issues with Matrix have been brought up to you and dismissed without understanding.

Everything everyone else said plus e-waste. My lord, Bitcoin produces as much e-waste as the entirety of the Netherlands to scribble a few bytes into a ledger once every 10 minutes lol. 97% of all mining devices will never successfully mine a single block. Each transaction produces as much e-waste as throwing out an iPad. That's on top of the power demand. You cannot make that sustainable. It's grey goo.
I don't generally use PDFs for super fancy stuff like forms with JavaScript or whatever, but I generally find that KDE's Okular and GNOME's Evince work perfectly well for my needs. Acrobat Reader is a fucking hog by comparison and I loathe waiting for it to start up when I'm on operating systems where it's the standard.
This also depends on the plane. For larger commercial applications, you need to have INS. You want to use a combination of sources ideally, since INS is accurate for a shorter period and GNSS/GPS for longer periods(often GPS/GNSS is only updated every second). Plus a lot of newer units have a much smaller drift. This FOG has a drift of 0.1 deg per hour, which is quite good (https://www.advancednavigation.com/solutions/spatial-fog-dua...).
I just want everyone here to know that Sequoia is funded by university endowments, and yet still does not have the confidence to invest in bleeding edge technology, picking instead to invest largely in "moat oriented" software. Nothing overtly wrong with it, but I just don't trust them when they claim to finally care more about slower growth companies.

I hate to tell you this, but that’s not at all outrageous. And you get what you pay for.
Well unless people are selling their hacker news accounts, it’s seems genuine and I just think the poster was very appreciative and hence posting. Sometimes we can all be too cynical

Healthcare is delivered provincially. Ontario spends 37.5%. Close to 40% i guess instead of 50%. My bad.

Still a huge number which puts per capita insurance cost on nearly same basis as the US. See my other comment below in the thread.
The advantage of having your servers at home is that when the police shows up with a search warrent you know you can't trust that server anymore.

If you use a 3rd party, it can be compromised and you only find out when it is too late.

> We have had repeated instances throughout history of groups of people practicing common ownership

We also have repeated instances throughout history of groups claiming to try to implement common ownership, and instead killing millions and installing tyrannical governments (see: most communist revolutions), of consistently larger scale (orders of magnitude) than the successes.

Historically, it's far more probable that such a common ownership experiment will result in death and tyranny (and not actual common ownership!) than a success - and, given the relative difference in scale between the successes and failures, there's a strong argument to be made that as the scale goes up, the probability of tyranny goes up.

This is one of the justifications for it being impossible in a practical sense (yeah, it's annoying that there's more than one definition for "impossible"). It's a fact that power attracts corruption, and it's also a fact that planet-level-scale common ownership would require more power to implement than any government has achieved so far. So, while not "impossible" in the hard-science sense, it's improbable (with a correspondingly large chance of a catastrophically bad alternative) to the point that it's not reasonable to attempt.

That said, your comment is a measured and thoughtful answer to a potentially-inflammatory topic, and I hope that my response is equally thoughtful.

Thanks for the example! Peeking a bit under the hood, it appears to be due to transitive dependencies referencing github urls (and transient ones at that) instead of semver, which admittedly is neither standard nor good practice...

FWIW, simply removing `"grunt-contrib-jshint": "~0.4.3",` from package.json and related jshint-related code from Gruntfile was sufficient to get `npm install` to complete successfully. The debugging just took me a few minutes grepping package-lock.json for the 404 URL in question (https://github.com/ariya/esprima/tarball/master) and tracing that back to a top-level dependency via recursively grepping for dependent packages. I imagine that upgrading relevant dependencies might also do the trick, seeing as jshint no longer depends on esprima[0]. A yarn resolution might also work.

I'm not sure how representative this particular case is to the sort of issues you run into, but I'll tell you that reproducibility issues can get a lot worse in ways that committing deps doesn't help (for example, issues like this one[1] are downright nasty).

But assuming that installation in your link just happens to have a simple fix and that others are not as forgiving, can you clarify how is committing node_modules supposed to help if you're saying you can't even get it to a working state in the first place? Do you own the repo in order to be able to make the change? Or are you mostly just saying that hindsight is 20-20?

I would argue that Fortran _is_ "über mainstream" - if you look at computing as a whole. It may not be used extensively for CRUD applications, but it is part of the bedrock of basically all computing. And there are some niches where it is the main/only language.

Rust will likely end up in a similar place - enormously useful in its niche, foundational for infrastructure outside, and with enough uptake and stability to make a career out of. I don't think anyone expects it to eclipse popular dynamic languages for web development, but it might make inroads on C and C++ in areas where active development is still needed.
The unexpected $15.5 billion in spending on Xi Jinping's "common prosperity" initiatives was unsettling. It was only 10% of their net income for 2020, so not terrible as a one-time hit, but really drove home for me that the government might unexpectedly expropriate large amounts of shareholder value in the future. Baidu, Tencent, and others also had to pay up.

I think it's justified for reactions to be weighted more than likes. To put a reaction requires comparatively 2.5x the effort as a like (hit like, choose the reaction, select the reaction). By what factor it should be increased may be a matter of differing opinion.
That’s very encouraging!

A banal headline followed by an article that stems from the assumption that infants and toddlers are not ready to learn yields an anti-policy position on daycare-with-curriculum.

How about: daycare, when strictly necessary, should have several priorities beyond failing to kill children that address the most important aspects of child development, excluding screentime and including but not limited to:
Human interaction (peer and authority)
Nutrition
Play
Naps

There's no "we" here. If you don't like copyleft code, then don't use it and write your own. It's pretty simple.

200k Canadians go to the US for healthcare -every year-. Nobody from the US goes to Canada for better/cheaper/faster/whatever care. Literally no one, vs 200-250k out of 40M, size of a single large US state.

Canada just isn't that great, but many Canadians seem to have part of their identity staked on how great Canadian healthcare is. Probably never had to use it, which is great luck.
Which of the four-ish statements do you disagree with or do you think all of them are false?
So the primary reason of CRDTs is to enable offline editing?

The issue is, I don't think CRDTs will help with offline editing either. If the user edits are days / weeks behind and the documents have severely diverged, then merging two documents becomes less of a theoretical logic problem and more of a pragmatic domain-specific problem that might even require the input of the user (like a merge-tool). CRDTs will ensure that the output is deterministic and correct, but it will not guarantee how "natural" or "reasonable" the output will look, and I think you would have to eventually use a bunch of clever heuristics or even provide a mergetool for the user to cleanly resolve differences.
So very true.

Where I live, many people still rely solely on wood stoves because it's radically cheaper than the alternatives (propane, fuel oil, electricity). And when insurance companies refuse to insure their homes because of that, they really have zero choice: they go without having insurance.

This is how you know the entire green and progressive movements are primarily created by rich, entitled people who've never experience hardship in their lives! They have no idea what real life is like from most people.
> There's really no reason to sacrifice all those additional capabilities at the alter of focus or productivity. Just find ways to use modern technology more effectively.

It could be that the screenwriter used to use that MS-DOS program back in the day, and already knew and liked it, had a well-developed workflow around it, etc. Then running it on DOSBox or an old machine you happen to have lying around makes perfect sense imo.
straight up FUD. last time i was on a darknet market it wouldn't load the main page unless you disabled javascript. i know the Tor browser has to serve many masters but its always shocking that it doesn't disable javascript by default but give the user an easy way to add sites to the allow list. or at least just disable javascript on .onion sites
Well, the attention economy can't grow much further. People only have 24 hours in a day, and some of it they spend sleeping. Sure, the rest of the time they're paying attention to something. But the amount of it that can be captured by the "attention economy" that hasn't already been captured is kind of limited. In the US, for example, can the attention economy double from here? I kind of doubt it. Those who are participating aren't going to give it twice as much time, and those who aren't, aren't going to suddenly start in large numbers.

Globally, the attention economy might increase more as more people come online, but that's a finite limit, too.

So we may not be at "peak attention economy", but we're not too far from it, in my view.
The big innovation here seems to be https://swc.rs/

If it works as advertised this is going to be great for a ton of JS/TS projects. Particularly having a 20x typescript compiler boost when running large test suites would be great. Maintaining 5-8 different babel related projects in packages.json is also annoying and often buggy.

Looking forward to see where else this gets adopted and it's stability.
Plenty of people conflate “authenticity” with “real”, and the implied antonym is “fake” which has plenty of negative meaning and has certainly been used to that effect. E.g. “real food does not contain MSG.”
Hey, OP here. I wasn't ready to get so much negativity from my post. OK the title was a bit clickbait but I just shared honest feedback because I was sure that a lot of people could recognize from my stories.

I never said I was an expert in the post, I never said I consider myself better than everyone, and moreover I'm 100% sure I can bet I've not impacted the life of one person that commented my post.

Is it my fault when I just graduated that I had been given the responsibility of building an Hadoop cluster for a +$100m revenue company? No, I just tried to do my best. I fucked up things and I fixed it. Period.

I'd love to work with all people telling me I was incompetent, but unfortunately you weren't here to bring me the light in 2014.

7 years after I can sleep at night and live with my mistakes. So, yeah, sorry for that.

I'm closing this, love.
Yes — this line of argument sounds exactly like the people who very confidently said that the economy couldn’t survive ditching asbestos or CFCs, emissions laws would destroy California, etc.

The key part is having regulations apply the rules evenly so everyone prices it into their decisions. Trying to limit specific companies makes that feedback cycle less effective.
Perhaps, but it did impose a cost on the troll which makes their venture less lucrative and hopefully more importantly, a psychological and emotional cost on the lawyers who's working to extort people.

You're right, it isn't the same. Instructions on how to build a car don't change every week. As a hobbiest I wouldn't trust my life on getting in a car if that was a requirement. There's more in my life than that single hobby that I need to do and I only have so much time.

hRecipe is over 10 years old, and the point of microformats is to extract semantic data from HTML. It's not really solving the same problem as CookLang in the way HTML and JSON aren't solving the same thing.

While I don't know much about the history of Recipe in Schema, I find "covers way more than it reasonably should" to be an odd criticism of a format. I usually find it to be a mark of schema maturity. All concepts behind data formats have more complexity than an initial investigation would uncover (see also: Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Names[1]). If anything, it leads me to believe CookLang has a ways to go.
