Big Mac depends on the popularity of MacDonalds which is incomparably higher the US than most of the EU (or Switzerland). MacDonalds is just not popular and as sibling Galaxeblaffer mentioned it's not directly targeted as a lower class restaurant. In most places/countries I have seen Big Mac are not even advertised. Some of the local regulations would prevent the same Big Mac prepared, either.
It's a very western / Anglosphere attitude, and I think you underestimate how much code is produced in e.g. China and Japan nowadays, with comments in their native language.

How would you name a FooBarWicket if you don't speak a word of English?

I mean don't get me wrong, ideally everybody writes code in perfect English and sticks to a set of ~50 ascii characters, but it's not an ideal world and you have to keep other languages and cultures in mind.
You have to scroll down to the "Temporal hours" section to finally get to the reason why the clocks need to be constructed differently: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_clock#Temporal_hours

Japanese traditional timekeeping practices required the use of unequal time units: six daytime units from local sunrise to local sunset, and six night-time units from sunset to sunrise.

As such, Japanese timekeepers varied with the seasons...

Was going to say that. They have a green logo and regularly claim some of their products are hyper local now here in CH. I doubt they have to do this in many other countries.

Other than that price differences in food between $ and CHF are likely mostly explained because work hours simply cost a lot more around here.
It's so weird anyone would accept this as a measure if the standardized basket changes with time.

No-code and low-code development
On the one hand, I don't want to become a radical who thinks that "one easy trick to fix all the problems" exists and is Georgism.

On the other hand, the land value tax and Progress and Poverty's general diagnosis and solution of how property, rent, supply and demand interact is very compelling, seems to align nicely with most of the spectrum of political viewpoints, and would mesh so well with removing other taxes to encourage productivity that it is hard to avoid being excited about.

It may not be as bad in some other countries, but the monopolisation of land in my country is rotting it out from the inside. Existing landowners are continuing to grow wealthier and wealthier as desperate first home buyers try to jump onto the last rung of a ladder that is rapidly climbing out of reach. Even now, the only ones who can afford to buy are those who have land-owning parents. Renting results in huge percentages of income being stripped away, but the service provided is a damp, mouldy, poorly maintained house far away from where workplaces are. The future of my country and city looks bleak if nothing changes to fix the situation.
Something is broken in logic conclusions. Let me resolve:

> The person I was responding to explicitly said that sniffing dogs are secretly trained to respond to handler gestures.

Yes, I did say that.

> They're claiming that drug sniffing dogs are a charade

No, I did not say that.

> Are dogs used to get warrants fraudulently? The answer is absolutely. It happens all the time.

Yep, my point.

> But the idea that sniffing dogs are fake is ridiculous.

Nowhere I claimed that sniffing dogs are fake.

So we seem to agree on everything. Thank you, resolved the confusion.

I've seen some sites / services (Discord?) filter these out, at least to the point where they don't escape a message's vertical space. I'm sure they're truncated because those messages are pretty big in terms of amount of bytes.

And while they have valid use cases, I can't see it in e.g. comment sections or chat messages. Happy to have someone link to e.g. a Vietnamese comment section showing practical use though.
That sounds believable to me. I had thought it was sailing ships but I guess not.
Yeah, but that's not what happens with this small German ISP my parents use, which was started because some people and local businesses really got disgruntled at the pricing policy and lack of true broadband by the Deutsche Telekom. This thing is essentially run like a non-profit, the little they make in profit meant to be invested into the company again not to make some investors happy, and is majority owned by the city-owned municipal utilities company, with the rest of the ownership I believe in the hands of some local businesses (some of which quite large) who needed broadband but couldn't get it or only at astronomical prices; they are their own customers and thus not very much inclined to fuck themselves.

They are reportedly very proactive when it comes to CPE security, as well, up to giving customers a proactive phone call when they see somebody is using equipment with known vulnerabilities (customers are allowed to operate their own equipment as long as it is deemed compatible, most will use remotely managed equipment, tho, I believe; my dad used to use his own DSL router and once got such a call if I remember correctly. He switched over to their fiber now and managed equipment).

Their AS is indeed identified as an "ISP" in peeringDB.

While I would be extremely surprised if the company was doing shady things, you surely got a point that a small ISP like that could suffer more in reputation from some few customers being up to shady things, including sub-lending the line. I am pretty sure that is against the ToS, but enforcement is a problem of course. Especially detecting such traffic without violating German privacy laws is probably a difficult task, but it's not impossible.
I am sure they got a lot of stock.
I'm not sure if this is sarcasm? It's maybe a little bit more difficult, but certainly possible today. Nothing fundamentally has changed since then.
I have had a similar experience with negative self-talk. Maybe also due to anxiety at bottom and I just haven’t gone down that far. How far into the retreat were you before you noticed this?

Anyway, the main insight I wanted to agree with is the realisation that much of your self-aware cognition is more like mental froth.

Learning to observe your own thought processes is incredibly helpful and might help OP to understand their underlying mental behaviours.
As someone who has been working with Python a lot up to this year, I am wondering has the state of GUI frameworks improved for Python in the recent months/years?

If I want to have, lets say, an application that looks (and works) like a native MacOS or Windows application, would I bet able to do that? All of the examples look really odd, with weird buttons and simply not feeling like native apps.
a prior example is how iphone built in the flashlight app...now the apple watch built in a period female tracker (which have multiple apps built by companies worth a couple hundred M all together)...I can't see how this fails since theyve released oxygen monitor in the last watch and better heart rate monitoring...
I don't experience much inflation. In fact, I don't see any in my budget. I know everyone says prices are getting higher, but we've actually tracked our expenses the last 2-3 years, noting down every little expense in a spreadsheet, and I don't see any signs that prices are rising.

Our supermarket expenses are the same as before, even slightly smaller. Our rent is the same although our landlord legally could have raised it if he wanted to.

All in all, we spend less money than before because:

- we don't commute,
- we barely eat out,
- we buy less clothes when staying home,
- we travel a little less.

The last big purchase we made was a flat screen TV. It costed less than the 10 year old TV it replaced but is so much better.

Electricity and heat have gone up. That's all I see in our budget that has gotten more expensive.

There are purchases we haven't made because they are stupid expensive at the moment: We don't buy shares, we are postponing buying a house, and we have been postponing changing our car. I would have liked to buy a new laptop, but the specs of the new ones look like the 4 year old I have, so it feels wrong.

Could it be that we just have higher prices on some items and assets and that the CPI and mainstream economists are generally correct?

There's plenty of large PHP projects that adopt this paradigm. Is it really fair to say it will be completely irrelevant for the rest of their careers?

Also, let's not lose sight that this arises in a context of criticism of the model adopted for programming a simple form. This is just a simple one page form. More complex or abstract paradigms or design patterns is overkill.

Ask HN: Project based data structures and algorithms book?
Most books I've read on the topic follow a similar structure. Introduce Big O notation, introduces concepts in the abstract and show isolated implementations in code.

At work I find myself wishing I had some more insight/guidance on the following problems:

1. Decision making when requirements aren't clear or may be subject to change. How do I avoid giving myself problems in the future?

2. I don't know all the data structures and algorithms off the top of my head. After reasoning about the requirements how do professional developers do research for the implementation?

3. How do I make trustworthy measurements? What tools do I use?

4. How do I combine multiple structures/algorithms to solve the specific domain problem I'm facing?

In short, I'd appreciate recommendations for resources that focus on using DS/Algo knowledge in real work scenarios.
> This is the grey area I am talking about. You licensed the rights exclusively to ACM, in perpetuity. In fact, your own publication of the pdf may also be non-compliant, but nobody has sued you as that would be political suicide

The "Post" section of the page linked by lazyjeff says:

>Otherwise known as "Self-Archiving" or "Posting Rights", all ACM published authors of magazine articles, journal articles, and conference papers retain the right to post the pre-submitted (also known as "pre-prints"), submitted, accepted, and peer-reviewed versions of their work in any and all of the following sites:

> Author's Homepage

> ...

So posting a PDF of the "accepted version" to a personal website is not a "grey area" - it is explicitly permitted by the ACM.

This is the usual situation: authors retain the rights to put the "accepted" version on their homepage. This includes all the changes made in response to reviewer comments, but is formatted by the author rather than the publisher.

Unless they have selected an open-access option (which usually requires paying a fee), they typically do not have the rights to post the "publisher formatted" version. However, in fields like CS the submitted version is usually produced using a LaTeX template for the journal so looks very similar to the publisher-formatted version; the main differences are often things like the journal name and page numbers written in the headers and footers.

For lazyjeff's example, you can compare the version on his homepage [1] with the version on the ACM DL [2], and see that they look quite similar, but one obvious difference is the formatting of the last page: in the author-formatted version, the left column fills the full height of the page, and the right column is shorter; in the published version the left column is shortened so that both columns are the same height.

> House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., announced he would pull the legislation Thursday morning after the chamber failed to pass it on Wednesday. As the House considered the measure Wednesday, President Donald Trump pledged to veto it.

> "At the request of the Speaker of the House, I am withdrawing consideration of the FISA Act," Hoyer said in a written statement. "The two-thirds of the Republican party that voted for this bill in March have indicated they are going to vote against it now. I am told they are doing so at the request of the President. I believe this to be against the security interest of the United States and the safety of the American people."

He threatened the veto because of how FISA was used by Obama admin to spy on his campaign.
Interesting, for those wondering how this could be useful apart from what's already mentioned in the Readme: Projects like my Weylus [1] or the similar Deskreen [2] would greatly benefit from this as both can mirror your screen to a tablet and like that one could use a dummy display and said tablet to create an additional screen.

On a related note, does anyone know of similar software to create dummy displays on Linux? All I could find so far is some trickery which only works with Intel hardware on X11 [3].

There is always a ton of advice out there, and i could give you some of my own but anything too specific probably won’t help, because I don’t know you.

So my only advice is to seriously take on the task of answering this question yourself. Get curious about yourself. Not intellectually, i mean observe yourself - thoughts flying by, sensations in your body. Maybe try doing it just before or after you post/say something negative. Maybe try writing to yourself or talking to yourself. Take it seriously and dig in to the question as if its worth answering - use all the abilities you might at your job too - planning, project management, writing, etc. I have found this approach to be more helpful than “consuming” information when trying to make any change because i can actually discover problems and formulate solutions that might work rather than sort of blindly cycling through advice. Sort of like building software - nontechnical people will sometimes just try or suggest buzzword tech or software, but any good engineer will work to deeply understand the actual problem they are trying to solve - the solution is often simple and obvious once you understand the problem.
It depends what you really mean with negative. I used to be negative in a way that I looked at things critically (including myself). I've fixed this by sort of adjusting the way I rate things. What I previously thought was good I now consider excellent. It's easy to look at good engineering, art, jokes etc. and consider that normal and the minimum of what is good, but in fact all of that is really hard to accomplish. So if something is nothing special, that's actually still pretty ok! One way to do this is to try to accomplish something you have a vague idea of how to do, but you've never done (I don't know, design a poster) and realize it's actually maybe not that easy. This gives you an appreciation for things that maybe look like "anybody can do it", but that it's not only about having an idea, that there's also a lot of skill involved. With time, I've just started to concentrate more on the things that are good in something, that inspire me maybe in a certain way.
Without any context, communication is difficult indeed. But the context here is general IT, a lot of context is established there and can be anticipated by any "sender".

I live in Switzerland and a few cents seems accurate. A lot of the current increase I see is based on the bad summer harvest tho and less external factors.

Either it's a Swiss thing, or because we buy the majority of food semi-directly of organic farmers and prices haven't changed that much in this sector.
It wasn't "achieved by doing nothing or by accident". It was because Trump threatened to VETO it because the FISA was used by Obama admin to spy on his campaign.

You can buy a dumb TV instead, or watch something else (Web, DVDs etc.). You can read books, play a musical instrument, or go out. There are lots of forms of entertainment today, many of them don’t track or spy on you.
Yeah, in the same way that the existence of Murdochs, Sacklers, and Kochs says “a lot” about every person working in the retail or service industries.

Saying that Anti-bot software is nonsense is like saying that door locks are snake oil too. We've all seen Lockpicking Lawyer on Youtube opening with ease any lock out there, so how come that all of us haven't got robbed yet?

Well, because protection is not a binary thing - either being 100% safe or 100% not working - instead it's a proportion between the skill/effort/time needed to break in, and the reward you get for it.

To stop majority of attacks you don't have to be absolutely unbreakable, you just need to make it hard enough for majority of attackers so that it doesn't payout for them compared to the value of the data you're protecting. And that's where anti-bot SW has it's place, it slows done spiders and global attacks, forcing for custom tailored scraping that is constantly being fine-tuned, infrastructure to hide your IPs, and that makes the operation way more expensive and harder to run continuously...
As an adult those sports you mention sound fun, but they require other people. Other people at roughly similar skill levels, who are available at the same time and place. That's not trivial to arrange.

The point of writing a new OS is to use it, otherwise you do not get any of its supposed benefits.

If you do all your normal work in a virtual machine, what will you use your new OS for?

Writing any useful application program in a complete void, without standard libraries and utilities, would take a very long time and unless it is something extremely self contained it would not be as useful as when it can exchange data with other programs.

It is much easier to first write a new foundation, i.e. the new OS, with whatever novel ideas you might have for managing memory, threads, security and time, and then start to use the foundation with the existing programs, hopefully already having some benefit from whatever you thought you can improve in an OS (e.g. your new OS might be impossible to crash, which is not the case with any of the popular OSes), and then replace one by one the programs that happen to be important for you and that can benefit the most from whatever is different in the new OS.

For the vast majority of programs that you might need from time to time it is likely that it would never be worthwhile to rewrite them to use the native interfaces of the new OS, but nonetheless you will be able to use them directly, without having to use complicated ways to share the file systems, the clipboard, the displays and whatever else is needed with the programs run in a virtual machine.

Implementing some good methods for seamless sharing of data between 2 virtual machines, to be able to use together some programs for the new OS with some programs run e.g. in a Linux VM, is significantly more difficult than implementing a POSIX translation layer enabling the C standard library and other similar libraries to work on the new OS in the same way as on a POSIX system.

Imaginary number was a derogatory term and regarded as fictitious or useless.
