Awesome, never seen that product! It's still deficient to have the screen be in the weather though as the screen quickly becomes clogged and hard to clean. I've always been happier with "USA normal" casement windows or even double hung. I have sliders now, on the garage, and the screens are in the weather which isn't great.
We just got CRDTs for generic textual documents! yeesh. Patience!

code has generic textual components -- like comments -- plus tree-like elements -- so it's arguably more complex. Furthermore, one expects automatically merging conflicting content to often have to be resolved because even a merge + a sophisticated node-based merging strategy will fail to capture effectful intents. However, i am excited to see tooling where, for example competing merges get run through a trichotomy (A only, B only, A + B) to see which branch satisfies the most number of tests... And then suggests the resolution accordingly.
If you're working 60+ hours in your office, you don't have a life outside of work. No wonder you hate WFH.

I did WFH for years prior to pandemic and found it much easier to work less hours. Spent many long lunches with friends, took time out of the day for personal projects, made sure to schedule remote meetings with old friends and former coworkers during the middle of the work day.

It's possible it might be that your current office has a terrible culture (most companies failed the transition to WFH). Realistically you shouldn't have to be working more than 30hrs a week, and not being in an office means you don't have to do any more "performance" work. It might be as easy as finding a new employer that has a more realistic sense of work life balance.
We could use PG views or functions to make our own abstraction layer inside the database and handle security better, etc. But putting that complicated database rebuild aside, just because we can publish GraphQL APIs from the database doesn’t mean we have to: it would be interesting to use GraphQL as a communications layer from backend to database too. Just as frontend-to-backend could use GraphQL, so too could backend-to-database communication, but with different schemas (data models) between frontend and backend. Having a backend GraphQL server between the frontend and database could allow for connection pooling, schema versioning and abstraction, for proxying multiple databases, handling business logic and perhaps validating inputs, caching or managing compute tasks.

Adding my voice to this experience. I have been a user for about 2 years, and I love it. I also appreciate that they support non-txt 2fa for login security.

My only quibble is that I wish I could generate a card that I could give to a someone else that had a limit cap but could be used at more than one site/vendor (the current method really wants you to use them at only a single vendor, which is generally exactly what I want). Like an allowance card basically.

The net effect is Amazon is setting a minimum price on sellers listings outside Amazon’s walled garden, forcing all prices to be the inflated Amazon prices.

If a seller wants to sell on momnpop-example.com which only takes a 5% cut and Amazon.com with its 30-40% cut, they are disallowed to pass any of the lower overhead for customers on momnpop-example.com back to the customer as they must price the same as on Amazon.

I guess it’s a little confusing because when Amazon sets a maximum price policy on their marketplace pegged against others, it in effect creates a minimum price policy on other marketplaces.
The most shocking thing about this story (imho) is that we're all shocked.

It's obvious that Stripe is becoming a huge company in terms of valuation, company size and impact. At a high level, all of us should be pretty excited about this. They've done an incredible job building things that developers want and love to use.

Unfortunately, that also means we shouldn't be shocked when some of the people/processes for hiring don't align with the same values and dedication to high quality work that we've come expect.

One of the dirty, little secrets of tech (particularly enterprise tech startups) is that some of the most culturally toxic and mediocre employees (from a quality of work and/or ability perspective) are in HR.

Hopefully the fact that this story is getting so much traction here and elsewhere will motivate the founders and leadership at Stripe to get into the weeds about how teams in charge of hiring are seriously jeopardising the key to the company's success: The people they employ.

On a semi-related note, this entire thread and the all of the adjacent coverage of this story should be a huge cautionary tale (and opportunity) for current and future founders: The most important thing our companies will do is hiring. That means the processes, culture, and work ethic of the teams doing the hiring deserve an ungodly amount of scrutiny.

This kind of crap happens all the time in this industry. We should be all be honest about that before shitting on Stripe, John, Patrick, etc. If they can become complacent, it can happen to any of us as well.

As a side note, HR employees (especially at low or entry level) who don't fit this stereotype should compensated, praised and recognized internally. In my experience, most companies with toxic HR teams tend to reward those who are very good at kissing ass and/or mirroring back what VPs' and Directors' won't shut about at all-hands, LinkedIn, etc.
Living in my 350sqft studio during the pandemic, I personally have tried a lot of these "tips," but haven't found much success. It turns out the brain is pretty good at building contextual clues related to its surroundings. Even if I'm sitting at my "play" desk (different chair, different room corner, different computer with its own keyboard/mouse/monitor), playing a game, with the lighting scheme completely different, I'm still _physically_ in the same place. I've still got the same noise from upstairs neighbors, same surroundings, same deco, same food options, same _temperature_ even (remember complaining about offices being too cold?). It's not enough to kick my brain out of "work" mode, and as a consequence, I'm always thinking about work in the back of my mind.

This is of course all separate from whether you can actually physically go offline from work, too. If a Slack ping at any time causes you to reopen your work laptop, even if you have different surroundings, you can't really fully escape "work mode." If you always wake up immediately into dealing with work, your bed becomes a "work area" too...

I have found myself missing the work commute more and more. Granted, I had a pretty nice one (15min train, 10min walk; not spending hours in traffic), but the biggest benefit I'm retroactively realizing was the clear separation between work and home. Working on finishing up a commit? Too bad, gotta run to catch a train, and then I'm no longer in work mode. Thinking about that bug the next morning? Maybe, but can still allow some personal time in the morning because not really "at work" until the physical commute in.

That assumes it can detect you're curling it in the first place.
I assure you that it is questioned. How do you define race, biologically? How would you test, say, former president Obama to determine his biological race?

EDIT: To be more precise: of course there is no question that the biological concept “exists”. The biological concept of Lamarckian genetics exists, too. The question is whether race is meaningful, useful, and whether it should be taught in the textbook.
> "Data abstraction is impossible."

Data abstraction is hard and many people are no good at it, but it's not impossible; it can't be, because it's required.

don't think of data abstraction as one and done, think of it as a process. Maintaining (as in, maintenance-ing rather than obeying) your data abstractions as you make modifications to code is the key to clean code, it's where the real refactoring takes place.

if your brain works like mine does, it is paralyzing to work on code without data abstractions, like always thinking of a staircase as all of its component parts rather than as a staircase
Sorry but this has nothing to do with aggression or not you are fantasizing about probabilities you seem not to understand. The only thing your comment achieves is spreading misinformation and fud. You can't talk about your ideas or feelings backed by anecdotal evidence as facts. The same goes with you undermining highly regarded sources like the "Max Planck Institute" as fishy in your other comments. I would go as far as to mark you as a bad actor.
> This wasn't done by NSO knowingly.

In the past month or so, there was a front page story on HN about NSO and a journalist, detailing evidence that NSO-controlled servers served up the exploit to the journalist's phone. This suggests that the NSO group has less of an arms-length relationship with their clients than they let on. It seems that at least for some clients, they're running some variant on exploits-as-a-service.
I am not too familiar with the current day sets, but around the early 2000s they started pushing the branded movie tie in sets really hard and I do remember seeing sets where a "piece" was essentially half a tie fighter wing and had no real reasonable reusability. I have heard they have pulled back on this almost entirely.

I would agree though that some specialized pieces are fine. My memories from the early 90s were probably the best balance from my time using Legos. By the mid-late 90s the castle and pirate sets did start moving into imho overly specialized pieces which then lead to the 2000s nadir.
FWIW, a few years ago I read an article with short discussions of "100 Good Ideas in Education." The article was written by a well-qualified educational journalist. Again, FWIW, I'd estimate that at least 10% of the discussions essentially concluded with: But we can't do this because it would increase disparities.

Let's say I want to go to the end of a word. I can press L some number of times until the cursor goes to the end of the word, or I can press E once. If I just "use" vim, how will I discover that? (Contrived example of course)

Another super simple example is replacing a word. Let's say I know how to delete, how to word, and how to enter insert mode. Putting that together I get dwi - except using cw achieves the same thing.

Sarcasm is a perfectly valid rhetorical device. If you find it rude, I apologize.

Some luxury goods are beautiful. Some are high-performance. However, many of them are prized merely because they are exclusive.

I find very expensive jewelry, almost without exception, to be gaudy and hideous. Even if it were tasteful, it could be made with artificial or semiprecious gems and clad base metals with no change in appearance.

There is nothing from high-end jewelry that can trickle down to the mass market. The entire industry is, by design, based around the work of skilled artisans. If it were possible to mass-produce jewelry, it would no longer be exclusive and would thus be less desirable.

Luxury cars are an interesting example. They are usually prized for their technical excellence. Some of the innovations may actually make it to market. The same definitely does not apply to fashion or to the majority of other luxury goods.

> I think the heydey of Trig was in the age of navigation and the heydey of Geometry was in the age of machines.

Sorry, but this is crazy. If you're in physics, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or civil engineering[1], then trigonometry appears in so many problems - including ones that have little to do with triangles and geometry.

Calc II is heavy on trigonometry for a good reason. So many integrals that show up in the "real world" are solvable if you know your trig identities. These show up in semiconductor theory, mechanics, electromagnetics, quantum mechanics, etc.

Trig is the one thing I'm glad I was taught well in high school. Used it all the time for over a decade.

I'm sorry, but it's very hard for me to sympathize with people citing a need to get away from their kids as a reason why I should be forced to commute for two hours a day.

> how is it going for those criticizing CRT-ification of education?

From what I can tell in our local area it seems to be going about as well as they hoped.

First they rail against about some weird graduate-level field most people have never heard of that isn't related to anything taught in our elementary schools. Then they interpret the eyerolls from the other parents and patient administrators attempting to keep the conversation focused on relevant topics as attacks on their freedom and they get to play the martyr.
This is true of COVID too. Instead of actually looking at stats, and realizing that, for instance, 75% of all "COVID deaths" (a bloated stat if there ever was one) were obese people, stressing being healthy and losing weight instead of assuming vaccines (the ones that don't keep you from getting or spreading it) were the miraculous cure would have made a world of difference.

Do these carry a payload? Seems like getting a payload to withstand those pressures would be harder than this contraption.
And that's the thing: these sorts of software systems don't and cannot ever understand edge cases. Short of full AI that can reason about the situation and make a decision (even then, it may make the wrong decision, just as people make wrong decisions sometimes), this is always going to be a problem.

An emergency override button can mitigate this problem, but then you have to weigh how often that override will be abused, and what to do about that.

This can be a sign of primary immunodeficiency: http://jmfworld.com/library/educational-materials/10-warning...

Regardless, you still should get checked out by an immunologist. Often, it is treatable with immunoglobulin.

While I do not have primary immunodeficiency, I have 2 rare immune mediated neurological diseases affecting my peripheral nervous system, and I am on subcutaneous immunoglobulin as a treatment. I infuse it twice per week.

I have not had a respiratory infection since being on subcutaneous immunoglobulin, and it's been about 5 years since I started this therapy.

I also feel your pain. I cannot work in an office environment due to health reasons, but some reasons are not due to immunological issues.
I think many of the commenters posting that this step will necessarily lower mathematical achievement are unlikely to have taught math to small children (or at least to a large number of them). The change has tradeoffs, but I think we'll likely end up a more numerate state for the change.

It's important to remember that children are not tiny adults. At an early enough developmental stage, a child may be physically unable to learn algebra. The number of such children is much higher in middle school than freshman year of high school. Note that developing later doesn't mean you're not very smart nor that you have aptitude. A student I had many years with this issue now has his PhD in mathematics.

By delaying algebra, you give a large chunk of students time to move forward developmentally so they can engage in the material. The current system ill suits them for a few reasons. One is that curriculum (somewhat necessarily) assumes high mastery of pre-requisite concepts, when it turns out this isn't the case students tend to not understand the material and get very frustrated. That frustration and anger often causes lasting damage that may never be undone.

My mother was a math educator during the years when Algebra first moved into middle school fought heavily against it. According to her the push came mainly from professors of Mathematics (with no educational training) who wanted better trained students. I think this has worked out for some of the top schools. If you're smart and a little precocious algebra in 8th grade is good, but I think net we lose out on a lot of talent.
"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" - old proverb
You can look up the answers about take home pay. In fact, I did. It seems like, based on rough math and estimates it's around $14.50 an hour, with benefits like paid healthcare (through the government) and 6 weeks paid vacation.

So, it seems like a good but not screaming compensation.

Meanwhile, who cares about the price of the Big Max on the other side. Does anyone really think that the cost of labor is a major factor in burger cost? Rent, food and franchise fees seem far higher than the few people they seem to have working filling everyone's order at any given time.
Would have been interesting if they would have explained a bit better what they think will actually be achievable with such an infrastructure. If physicists build something like the LHC I understand even as a layperson what they try to prove. With this whole exascale computing I sometimes think: we do it because we can and applications are more motivated by the solution in search for a problem (disclaimer: I was part of an luckily unsuccessful H2020 proposal on exascale computing in a totally unrelated area) . But maybe some neuroscientist here can enlighten me about the impact this can have on practical research.
I think you’re using useEffect without an actual reason to use useEffect.

I’ve worked on large react projects for 4 years and I’ve only had to use useLayoutEffect once.

Sounds to me like you need to learn how to use React as a library and not as the only solution your app uses. Guess what: you can absolutely write plain JS (or Jquery etc) alongside your React components.
Weapon merchants get flack all the time for selling their wares to... we'll call them "rivals," but it could be any state or organization not in the US's sphere of influence.

NSO gets particular flack because they're inextricable from the weapon they sell. If an M-16 is used to shoot someone, provenance is probably harder to prove; weapons change hands all the time, or are smuggled to ne're-do-wells via the black market. But everyone using Pegasus, as far as we know, is an NSO client; NSO made the choice to provide that software, including NSO support and NSO services.
It's not so much about whether the pieces are used in other sets - of course Lego is going to want to build molds and use them in multiple sets, dedicating a mold for just this set would not be smart.

I think my concern is more nuanced - if you're a kid and you only get sets like this one, when you get past the "let's build what's on the box" stage and they end up as just a pile of bricks, the number of more generically-useful pieces is low compared to all the specialty pieces. I think in an ideal situation, you have lots of generic pieces and a selection of custom (like the typewriter mentioned in another post), but these sets seem to be the opposite with lots of quirky custom pieces and few generic pieces good for general building.

I'm sure as another poster pointed out that this is a result of "gift-priced" sets, and trying to have something impressive while keeping the part count low. And for my kids it doesn't matter as I've bought them plenty of "just a bunch of brick" sets to go with all these specialty parts. But if you're a kid whose parents aren't willing to drop a lot of $$$ on Lego (which have always been on the pricey side), then you're more likely to end up with a collection made only from the $10-25 kits with an over-emphasis on specialty pieces.

When I was a kid (in the 80s), I remember getting lots of Lego sets along these lines:

https://brickset.com/sets/6375-2/Exxon-Gas-Station

Notice the cars - they are very blocky and do not look much like real cars because they're almost entirely made out of generic bricks. The gas pumps and roof and such are mostly just regular pieces, possibly with stickers or screen-printing. Compare it to something like this:

https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/fire-rescue-police-chase-...

Yes, there's still generic pieces in there, but my eye sees a lot more specialty pieces like the hoods, car roofs, fenders, motorcycle, etc. IMHO, the 80s set offers more potential for rebuilding into other things, but maybe I'm wrong and it is just nostalgia or something like that.
It is pretty standard to have a new CEO change up the previous lieutenants. Helps cut down on people who are still entrenched to the "old" ways. If the new people are actually better or not isn't really relevant. Loyalty is the only thing that matters at that level.
