Adding to the pile of annoyances with DST - I’m now working at a fully remote company with employees spread across the US and the EU. The switch to DST is not synced between Europe and North America, which cause all types of scheduling havoc. Some meeting times switch, some do not. A totally avoidable mess.
I buy a bag of 50grams for about 2-3 euros in my local supermarket. 40-60 Euros/kg. Lets call it about 70$/kg. Of course a whole kilo would be quite a lot. 50grams is a good amount if you are making pesto, which I do a lot because I grow lots of Basil on my balcony

I've only ever brought one Apple product and it was a refurbished "blackbook" - really was a no brainer, I got the top of the line model for the price of a base model MacBook with no discernible difference in quality. That laptop lasted close to 10 years with a few battery replacements along the way
Plasmic | Founding Developer Advocate | Remote | Full Time

View full posting on our site (HN limits comment length): https://www.plasmic.app/careers/founding-developer-advocate

Plasmic is a visual builder that plugs into React and other codebases. We aim to lower the barriers for anyone to create software, but our initial wedge is the headless content management market.

We are an early-stage startup with a tiny but wonderful distributed team of 8 from Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Dropbox, MIT, Berkeley, including 3 ex-founders with exits and 4 ICPC world finalists. We are well-funded by NEA and investors in Figma/Framer.

We are looking for a Founding Developer Advocate to help us grow a community of developers, especially in the React, headless commerce, and Jamstack spheres.

This is a critically important leadership role for our company, as the majority of the team is now shifting focus onto growth.

Responsibilities include:

∙ Authoring and launching high-quality content and educational resources that are truly interesting or valuable to our communities (not about Plasmic).

∙ Participating in existing React/web development communities and open-source projects, and building relationships there.

∙ Creating example projects, documentation, and screencasts to showcase what you can create with Plasmic and its tools/API.

∙ Owning our general online presence and driving engagement on venues like Twitter and GitHub.

∙ Potentially creating and launching our own open-source projects.

∙ Speaking at conferences.

∙ Work closely with the founding team to define the overarching growth strategy. You'll be telling us what the above list should look like!

We are prepared to invest heavily in this role. Compensation includes competitive cash salary and generous equity.

If this sounds interesting, please get in touch at hiring+hn@plasmic.app. We would love to meet you!
For a while my yearly OS upgrade strategy was to wait for the XX.2 release, buy a recent model refurb, and then sell the old one once my workflow was migrated. In that situation saving a few hundred dollars on a refurb makes a relatively large difference in net cost. Never had a problem I could attribute to buying refurbs (just some replacements due to the butterfly keyboard problems).
Closest to zenith, I presume.

> such that winning the primary … basically promises a win in the general

Assuming you have more than one political party, I don't see how that's possible. All but one candidate in the general election will lose, even though they all won their respective primaries.
Have a look at TMTP from the mnm project.
Again, sure technically, but it also Streisands everything about it. The cost-benefit for prosecutors and the other party isn't a slam dunk!

Personally I'd absolutely do it and take the gamble. But I'm risk-thriving (hence started several companies, enjoy international travel, etc.)
Quite a large proportion of people with type 2 diabetes don't know they have it. Just giving an advanced warning could make a huge difference.

Not just “you might have” but “other companies using OSS software whose development you financially support might have”.

If faster SVG graphics were an impediment to Apple’s business it would likely have been prioritised and fixed by them.
Lol I meant the time that better aligns with the position of the sun relative to where you stand.
I'm skeptical this timeline reflects the current supply chain issues that Apple (and the world) is experiencing. Apple has delayed the friends and family discount on the iPhone 13 and does not allow in-store pick up for the macbook pros (Due to limited supply and in-store staffing).

> If schools have become as much political institutions as educational institutions -- and there's little doubt about that -- why do they get public money at all?

Things get public money because they are political; that is, connected to an agenda some group thinks is important for public governance.

Why else would government fund a thing?
Not a reason for the UK. We don't have anonymous companies like the US e.g. by assigning your attorney as a director so they can hide behind privilege.

I learned recently that Windows has system error codes for process errors:

A coworker mentioned that programs should return internal state information using codes < 0, but I have not fact checked that.
We are reacting to a tweet that has very little content, notably how high is the bar for psychological harm. It is undoubtedly higher than making someone feel bad, but the question is: is it high enough?

Consider your words, "you are responsible for your own thoughts, feelings, and actions". For the most part, that is true. On the other hand, we also consider some segments of society as vulnerable. In some of those cases they do not have full control of their thoughts, feelings, or actions. Sometimes it is due to a lack of understanding or experience (e.g. children and youth), sometimes it is due to psychological disorders. The question becomes, who is actually responsible in cases where trolls unintentionally or intentionally exploit that disorder?

The other thing must be considered is the magnitude of the infraction. A competent person may be able to handle a random death threat. The person would have to be considerably more resilient to endure an effectively anonymous person stalking them and threatening them. I would question the ability of anyone to handle that sort of behaviour for an extended period of time unless they have the means to prove the threat is not credible or to protect themselves. There is a reason why some people of means go around with bodyguards, and it isn't solely about their physical protection.
The shake of the forming wire does help align the fibers in cross-direction, but the effectiveness of this is smaller than all the other effects combined, which align the fibers parallel to machine direction. So, overall, the process reduces the alignment to machine direction somewhat, but does not change it enough to make cross-direction dominant. So, everything makes sense: toilet paper is a long band, grain is aligned with machine direction (the long side of the band, perpendicular to perforation), and that's why it tends to tear "the wrong way". It was exactly the same with the paper towel whose picture is shown in the post.
Does anyone know if it's standard or best practice for them to know who involved in these studies if they also have had COVID in the past?

I'm curious how much of the benefit may be from the vaccines vs. how much may be from catching COVID/have antibodies from COVID itself.

If they're not measuring this to differentiate, then why not?

I feel like the vast majority of products you're buying are either bulk purchases or have versions at many many price points, making them immune to this effect.

There is no "one true inflation" but there are certainly better ways to look at it than CPI. For one get rid of all the hedonic adjustment nonsense, stop moving the goal posts by changing basket composition, and focus on small group of food, housing, and transportation. If you do that you are going to get a hell of a lot higher than 5%
>Is it morally appropriate to get together a group of your friends and pressure someone to commit suicide on social media? By your logic, it seems that it is; their suicidal reaction to malicious and intentional verbal abuse is not anyone else's problem but their own.

Did you intend to pressure them to do that? If you acted with that INTENT, and external evidence proves it, then NO, by OP's logic, that abuse is the perpetrator's problem.

Android is like that too. Some devices have non-integer pixel densities (multipliers or device pixel ratios or scaling factors or whatever term you prefer), especially 1.5x aka "hdpi" that was popular around 2011. You can provide separate resources for each pixel density if you still use bitmap graphics for some reason. Oh and there's also "ldpi", which is something like 0.75x, though there were very few devices with it.

With how advanced macOS graphics stack is, I don't understand why does Apple not do this, instead insisting on using integer multipliers. Some iPhone models, too, render the UI at 3x and then downscale it to fit the screen. Even more curious is the fact that they have returned it as a float for as long as retina displays were a thing: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nsscreen/13...

edit: one important difference I forgot to mention. On Android, all draw calls on the Canvas, and all view dimensions and other things like text sizes, always take physical pixels. It's your job to multiply and round everything correctly. On macOS and iOS, all graphics APIs take "points", which are those logical pixels you get after the scaling is applied, "density-independent pixels" as Android calls them. I guess Apple thought it would make it easier to adapt existing apps to retina displays. Android has always supported UI scaling, so there was no problem designing the API the way it is.
California voters actually passed a referendum to move to year round DST, but federal law only allows year round standard time. I think most people prefer the idea of year round DST.

There are still quite some hurdles. The European Comission is set to propose to make it mandatory, but the proposal will only come in December (and has been already postponed a couple of times due to the resistance). Then the European Parliament needs to pass it.

The fight is not over, and resisting legislation like this in the past has provided results. I am hopeful.
Trying to stop credential stuffing by blocking bots will not work, and can often severely impact people depending on assistive technologies.

I think a better solution is to implement 2FA/MFA (even bad 2FA/MFA like SMS or email will block the mass attacks, for people worried about targeted attacks let them use a token or software token app) or SSO (e.g. sign in with Google/Microsoft/Facebook/Linkedin/Twitter who can generally do a better job securing accounts than some random website). SSO is also a lot less hassle in the long term that 2FA/MFA for most users (major note: public use computers, but that's a tough problem to solve security wise, no matter what).

Better account security is, well, better, regardless of the bot/credential stuffing/etc problem.
It’s strange to say “no upsides” when there are a couple of obvious upsides (mentioned by other comments). Do the experts think it makes their case stronger when they make immediately disprovable claims? Isn’t it stronger to say “the upsides are massively outweighed by the downsides” or something like that?
You are, the very first line of the article explains why they care. They make extensive use of the SVG api and it would benefit them to have this feature.

It's no different to Valve hiring CodeWeavers to implement new things in the Linux kernel to advance their efforts with Proton. Steam isn't in the kernel development space, but it behooves them to improve the kernel with features that are useful to more than just themselves, since features that are _only_ useful to them are likely to be rejected.

Docker doesn't do pods, pods are just a collection of containers. Docker's whole thing is containers plus some enterprise tooling on top of it. Pods are the smallest deployable units in Kubernetes. No one said Docker supports pods, but Docker definitely, 100%, supports containers, it's literally the thing that it's known for.

I imagine there's quite a lot of them. Things like VP-trees and such get often built statically and could be implemented in a similar way. Not sure if the simple (2i, 2i+1) schema is optimal for this but perhaps it could be adapted.
How are you going to do borrow checking without MIR? Is GCC-Generic suitable for that?

Surely you left a massive amount of money on the table then, right?
Some states protect their titles better than others. In Iowa (possibly other states) land transfers are done by the state who verifies the seller really has right to sell the property, so title insurance isn't something you need to buy. (title insurance does cover other things as well, so banks make your buy it for those things, but once the sale is closed it is your property)
It is so difficult, and so easy to get wrong, that several hundred years ago a collection of law makers had to get together and write down in no uncertain terms that the government should never do it.

This was far from a universal sentiment because many world governments want no part of a system where the governed can object to the governance. Worse, understanding of the idea, which requires a certain level of specific historical education, has diminished greatly in recent years. Worse still is the active attack on the idea by those that stand to gain from creating yet another power structure.

That's not to say that Twitter, for example, shouldn't moderate it. But woe to us if some committee ("tribunal?") in Congress be given that power.
