Correct, and I made an update to the comment. Thanks!
Indirectly sure. Directly, it’s low. It has to be low for the math to work.
No, it is still nonsense.

The whole idea of "our people" being replaced by "those other people" assumes there are "our people" and "those other people" and skin color (or more broadly ethnicity of their ancestors) is the way you recognize which is which.

It assumes that culture is unchanging and tied to skin color. It assumes that birth rates are unchaining in time and tied to skin color. It assumes that demographics of birth rate are relevant in less than hundreds of years - during which culture can completely change (see US or Russia or China in 1821, 1921 and 2021).

The whole idea is based on stupid, racist thinking.

Or, despite the fact that they believe so deeply that time off to produce the next generation of workers and consumers is a net loss to their bottom line, they're actually wrong and are yet to discover this.

Parental leave should be a universal benefit for workers, period. Employers should foot the bill.

Worldwide, enclosed-gear hubs are STILL vastly more popular than derailleur-style gearing implementations, btw.

They're part of what we might call the divide between "cycling" and "riding a bicycle." The cycling hobby is mostly about go-fast or go-far for its own sake, but in much of the world a bicycle is just transportation. In those places, you trade away efficiency or speed or weight in favor of the "it just works forever" bulletproof-ness that the enclosed hub provides.
> Depression lies to you. And, once you live with it long enough, you know it lies to you.

This is why people with depression suffer, because they do not want to see the truth depression unveils. So they fight and fight and fight.

Can you be ok with nothing ever bringing you happiness? I asked that question to myself, I finally said yes. It was a spiritual moment. Joy at last! No more happiness!

Why do you think happiness is a truth and depression is a lie? That is only your preference.

Or children are no longer a byproduct of sex due to ease and availability of birth control options, and women gaining financial freedom, so the cost of children is finally allowed to become explicit.

Easy. It’s not all about them.

The long term interests of society, the employee and ultimately of the business is something that many business struggle to realize or care about.

So we have the government, whose power reigns supreme, who can compel the business to act. Sometimes this is necessary, because business managers aren’t always good at what they do.

My favorite example was something my local conservative radio media went insane over about 15 years ago. The state passed a law that requires employers to, in writing: (a) tell the employee what their job title is, (b) tell the employee what their rate of pay is, (c) tell them what their available benefits are, and what they cost, and (d) tell them what expenses the employee will have and what they cost. (ie, uniforms, tools) Dire predictions of doom were made, small businesses were going to be destroyed, yadda yadda.
"possibly"
If you're in the US, call your doc and mention that this may be a violation of the 21st Century Cures Act, as it is preventing or interfering with the access, exchange, or use of electronic health information.

It would be a stretch to call this an outright violation (as they could satisfy the requirement by printing the information you want and mailing it to you...), but it's a trendy topic in healthcare right now, so it might be enough of a motivator.
Consider looking up the definition of “America”.

The first one in dictionaries I just checked (Oxford and Cambridge) references the country, The United States.

I’m well aware of what the Americas are, but I’ve never once heard a speaker of American English use the singular form of the noun to refer to the collection of continents.

edit: Since your reply has been rightfully flagged, read the first line of the definition you pasted. You really didn’t need to share a link to show me exactly what I told you.

“Network Link Conditioner” essentially does the opposite but it’s a really neat tool: it lets you degrade your connection, so you can test how software reacts to degraded network conditions, and don’t need to install and configure third-party proxies and the like.

The biggest drawback is it affects the entire machine, you can’t enable the conditioner on a per-process basis, so it can be a bit rough on the other “normal” usage of the machine.

There’s also a version on iOS.
You are right. I don’t think people mean Cabrini Green when they say affordable housing. They mean 1000-1500 square foot normal houses, condos, and apartments, built in sufficient quantity to satisfy demand.

As it stands many California cities do not allow anything to be built at all or make it so hard that it can only be profitable to build higher margin luxury housing.
I took all twelve weeks at my company spread out of the course of a year. 90% great, 10% work hassle. I manage 3 teams and it was hard to get some larger initiatives moving with me being out so much. But we aren’t good at leave like this is the US. Corp policies aside we as employees just aren’t good at it. But it’s the right way to go. And I wanted to encourage people on team to take the leave that was available.
Honest question, is there anywhere in the English speaking world that actually uses "America" rather than "The Americas" or "The American continent" to collectively refer to the continents of North and South America?
Yep. Companies eventually die. Sometimes they're reborn, like IBM, AOL, and Microsoft, but never with the same priorities. The Internet Archive is almost as old as Amazon and archiving is its entire reason for being. The pendulum will swing back as it always has and send things off big [mainframes, clouds], and S3 will be sunset in favor of serving whatever comes next.

How is it not a Ponzi scheme? You need more people to fund the previous beneficiaries.

You think the math works if the population never increases? Consider how you’d fund it if the population decreased and immigration did not exist.
Interesting comment on appreciation. It’s not easy by any means and I’ve found myself fall into thought patterns where I start to feel like I’ve been cheated by life.

But at least for me, a lot of it is driven by distraction. Work becomes overwhelming. Or family becomes too hard to juggle. So caught up in what’s in front of you that you lose the big picture.

Where I’ve found clarity is in the “being present mindset”. Giving my son a bath and noticing just how much he changes everyday and what that experience must be like for him reminds me that time is fleeting. Often what we value most in the future are the experiences of the past. And taking the time to truly connect with my son will be one of those things I’ll look back on in 10 years and truly appreciate that I took that time.

And don’t get me wrong. The hedonistic treadmill is the reason we went to the moon. Never being satisfied will drive humanity to do incredible things, but it will also drive people to depression. It’s neither good nor bad but just is. Acknowledging that and seeing it in yourself can help immensely.
Where it works best in other countries it very much tends to be covered via taxation, combined with increasing pressure for providing benefits to fathers as well which are lost if not taken, coupled with strong legal protections against firing.

But even then you're right that it's a struggle to get men to take the full available parental leave, often because "just" getting paid 100% of salary isn't enough. Losing X months of career progression is often seen as a bigger deal (and a not unsubstantial part of remaining pay discrepancies between men and women in some countries).

That doesn't mean you can't get significant improvements, though.

I live in the UK, and waking up to the harsh realities of how shitty parental leave provisions and nursery provisions are here compared to Norway where I grew up was not fun...

(And yes, some people will try to discriminate, and some will succeed. )
By making a detour from the most direct route. Is this a trick question?
I can think of a few reasons. Foremost is they feel threatened by the prospect of their employer realizing that they're not irreplaceable. Also they may love their project and want to be there for the next phase. Or maybe they just figure that their employer would be hurt by their absence and they'd feel guilty about.
> I believe parental leave should be provided, but I don't see how anyone expects employers to shoulder the burden of providing paid parental (in reality maternity) leave without an implicit bias towards hiring men (or at least paying women less). You can provide the same benefit to men and women, but let's be honest, even when available most men take only a fraction of the allowed time.

That's why many European countries are progressing towards giving fathers the same leave as mothers, and making it mandatory for both (e.g. in Spain mothers used to have much more leave than fathers, but they progressively increased the leave for fathers while also making things more inflexible - fathers used to be able to "give" their days to mothers, but that no longer works, and both must take at least six weeks mandatorily).

I don't think there is a clear-cut optimal solution for the problem and every solution has pros and cons. For example, mandatory equal leave for both means losing flexibility (and there are biological arguments that mothers need more leave). But I think it's a reasonable compromise to mitigate discrimination and bias.

In most countries it’s not fully paid but a fractional pay setup for paternity leave. Some good companies top the benefit up to 75% of base pay. But bonus and stock are challenges.

There is a snarky saying at one of the large tech companies that goes something like "I don't know how to count that low."

When you're facing off against large companies as a smaller player this is one of the tricks you can use for leverage. You can serve the markets that larger companies feel safe ignoring because they are currently small.

They should however be markets that you expect to grow over time.

On one hand, I really like github and I think they have done tremendous job with popularizing git (and they have not gotten worse after acquisition by Microsoft, which surprised me)

But I’m glad that there is an alternative that is not afraid to be different; gitlab, gitea, etc all basically copied github UX

That being said, the mailing list approach is not working that great for me, I still prefer the github way of doing PRs.

Also; I have been looking for a way to replace Drone (open source Travis/Circle basically), I have looked at what sr.ht has (I forgot the name), and it’s wayyyy too complex for practical usage outside of sr.ht, in my opinion.

In the current political climate, it's hard enough to get people to agree on objective reality. On the one hand there's healthy skepticism, on the other hand there's selecting news sources to confirm your beliefs.

Paul Graham is certainly aware of this analogy as he even brings up the subject of vaccines in the article. Writing about appreciation of art rather than evaluation of journalism or truth is an interesting way to re-frame the epistemology.
That peak capacity seems a bit high, and just isn't very helpful if there's any volume of solar on the grid. Some back of the envelope calculations for mean output:

Total area: ~5000m²

Annual mean insolation: ~100W/m²

Solar panel efficiency: 20%

Annual mean power output = 5000*100*0.2 = 100kW

And on top of that, you still need either energy storage or rapid on-demand generation (e.g. gas fired) to get you through the Dunkelflauten.

If their point was can you mitigate vendor lock-in, they should have said that instead of asking about self-hosting. Saying you have vendor lock-in because you can't self-host something is very strange in the context of this article.

I didn't make a point of vendor lock-in because migrating this process flow to a self-hosted HTTP server would take about 5 minutes. On top of that, this flow is going to be very similar for any vendor offering javascript functions.

Perhaps it is my fault for not including a section discussing this, but I assumed that the audience for this would primarily be people understand basic javascript and could deduce the portability of the code by looking at it.

Like is the wrong word. I think the closest appropriate idea is "appreciate".

You probably should not "like" some of the best art at all, because it should have made you uncomfortable and think things you would rather not.

Of course I say "some", because art has all kinds of different purposes or intents, and that is only the purpose of some art, not all art.

So I think recognize, acknowledge, or appreciate are the kinds of words to apply rather than like.

And art can even be good even if you not only don't like it but don't even appreciate it. It can be skillfully effective on you whether or not you like it or even have the background or perception to recognize it's quality.

So even "appreciate" isn't really a valid metric.

> You literally said “the prices were through the roof”, not the growth.

Maybe english is not your first language but when something is "through the roof" it means it raises at a very rapid rate. In other words, speaking to the velocity, not the overall speed.

> Yes something that is really cheap can experience rapid price growth and still be relatively cheap.

You're being overly pedantic about this for no reason. Put this into the context of the discussion. Yes, moving from San Francisco, CA to Wichita, KS will mean your cost of living will drastically decrease. The discussion is about whether there are jobs in Wichita. People will naturally migrate where jobs are and a rapid growth in housing costs (i.e. demand outpaces supply) means people are staying where the jobs are.

Again this has been all talked about in the daily news cycle. Covid has allowed a significant portion of the population to virtually live wherever they want. Thus people are moving from large cities and suburbs to more rural locations. Thus jobs are opening up in these areas (think Wichita) because both remote workers are moving there and then local markets that can't be remote (think retail) will grow as a result.
Should Apple be required to warn you that it'd be cheaper? Definitely not. But when you've taken the milk home the milk should be able to say "Hey, If you buy directly from us it's 30% cheaper!".

Right now Apple prohibits developers from being transparent about what the users choices are. I think it is wrong that developers are not allowed to explain the rules to its own users.

Apple should compete on the product itself, not technicalities and obfuscation. There should be pressures on Apple to lower prices for what it charges.
