I was puzzling over Eye of GNOME’s misrendering and wondering what the SVG could possibly be to render so, right up until the point you mentioned the use of foreignObject. Ah, HTML in SVG, got it. Seems a strange choice for export, rather than resolving the layout into text/tspan elements. The only reason that I can think of (other than ease of implementation/laziness) for doing things with foreignObject is so that it can reflow into the available space if a different font gets used, since you can’t depend on the specified font being used; yet I expect such reflow would break at least as many cases as it improved, since the containers for the text are a fixed size. There is no universally correct option for such font substitution in a fixed-dimensions format like SVG mostly is, so I would have thought you’d stick with pure SVG since foreignObject HTML loses you so much compatibility. Calling it SVG export when SVG editors as a class can’t handle it is extremely surprising and I think rather tacky. (See also https://desk.draw.io/support/solutions/articles/16000042487-..., sounds like you can disable word wrap on each text box and that’d stop using foreignObject.)

A more interesting option in this format balance would be doing the entire layout in HTML, and only using SVG for drawing boxes and lines and such when CSS is insufficient. This would certainly be a whole lot more work, requiring deeper layout semantics on the diagram, but could allow better responsive design on the diagram as a whole.
I'm not sure I'm ready to learn another language to be honest. After a decade+ of C++ it'd feel like driving on the wrong side of the road and I wouldn't blame any employers who didn't want to take a chance on that :)

IPv4 prices were in the mid-US$30/IP in early 2021 and they're now around mid-$50:

I think The Market™ will decide that trying to run IPv4 in a lot of places will be too expensive, and that end-points will get assigned IPv6 with various translation mechanisms being run for the 'legacy' Internet.

Heck, even AWS if finally allowing IPv6-only infrastructure:

Yes, there can be multiple layers of regulations and policies. State law might restrict it. The state pharmacy board may have guidelines and then corporate may have further limits.

With the big chain pharmacies you’re fighting against them actually knowing you well enough to trust your request is legit AND the fact their hands may be tied by corporate.

At smaller pharmacies the pharmacist can often make the call themselves.

It’s really due to the opioid epidemic. Pharmacies were flagged as “you should have known it was inappropriate use”. It’s the pharmacist who will be questioned as to their judgement. If they can say “I’ve know Mr Smith for 10 years, he fills all his prescriptions here, has only asked for early refills 4 times in 5 years and each time was due to travel. In my judgement he was no misusing the controlled substance.”, then they’ll be happy to do it.

If they don’t recognize you and when they look you’re a new customer and your reason is the same one they hear all day long from obvious abusers, then they won’t put their ass on the line for you. Double so if they know corporate will say no.

> The last 10 years of my life writing C++ in a professional context were a complete waste of time that I will never get back. I have nothing to show for it.

I don't get this part. The language you write something in has little to do with how useful the software is. I've had years writing fulfilling software, and years where I was just spinning my wheels.
Many of us have an innate drive for diverse experiences and forming fond memories around them, to the point it feels like it's never enough.

Sometimes it is those who are looking for a void to fill in life, because their childhood lacked a crucial element to healthy development that they end up looking for anything that could scratch that itch; and that itch is often nostalgia waiting to be found, perhaps falsely, because that void seeks something else to satisfy it relationally.

Japan as a whole may not be bicycle friendly, but you can get across all the major cities on bike quite easily without interacting with high speed cars. There are either bike lanes on main roads or back streets with no traffic to circumvent interaction with cars.

Have done this in Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya and they have been fantastic cities to bike commute in.
Yeah my first thought was, well you could lay out the timestamp in a way that supports lexicographical sorting, and then realized they had already done so. No reason this shouldn’t be a string!
> But the Kubernetes riff was telling: when using a cloud provider, so much of the sustem management is provided.

Way too much for most usecases out there. And if you don't understand it, you can't fix it when it breaks.
There's no "cannot", it's a conscious choice - if you have more space than necessary that absolutely does not require that you expand to fill all of it. And in particular this has caused issues because American cities tend towards sprawl, filling up area with low-density housing that requires significantly more infrastructure per capita, and implementing zoning laws to prevent higher-density development even as the population grows, resulting in housing shortages.

Not Just Bikes has some excellent content about this, e.g.: https://youtu.be/XfQUOHlAocY

My point is that your statement is an unsubstantiated shallow dismissal which suggests a very poor understanding of statistical and research methods.

Pew was simply the first well-articulated reference I turned up. There are numerous others. You've offered nothing other than your uninformed opinion and casual insults and accusations. Please don't do that.
People are pretty malleable though, is the thing. We like to think otherwise because it’s cognitively simple to think people (and ourselves) are static objects as identities that don’t change over time. In fact, people are very dynamic and change dramatically over time in response to their environment, self-inflicted or not. It can be anything from sudden trauma causing drastic personality changes, puberty, or rigorous work at changing one’s maladaptive thinking patterns.

You are confused abiut quite a few things:

- a few poor upper caste families does not diminish the wealth and privilege of the vast majority of that caste

- the majority of INDIANS live in poverty so obviously a lot of upper caste Indians do too

- living in poverty or not isn't the only advantage of being upper caste

Lower caste people can literally be murdered and the police won't even care. Poverty is one thing, but being untouchable in India can literally mean you are outside the law with the same rights as a rock on the ground. Not formally of course, but in practice.

xiaomi is fucking bad. an employee bought xiaomi mi 10s last week https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_mi_10s-10780.php

it is atrocious to use. there is "glace wallpaper" which cannot be disabled. yellow pages for sharing contacts to third parties ala truecaller, no way to disable stock apps or xiaomi apps. ads and "recomendations" in each and every system application, why the fuck should default file manager share data or have recomendations or share data. same for gallery that has xiaomi cloud.

do people really need "cloud" ? what is wrong with vcf file when switching phones? i use a small "backup all" app on android to export and import contacts, messages and call details in text files. why do you need to be plugged into a "cloud" all the times?

the level of dark patterns in the system ui is just disappointing
And then are at a loss when you demand that they identify themselves to you. After all, all you've got is a voice at the end of the phone. Seriously I'm sure there's good ways to solve this using some simple crypto(graphy, not currency). We ought to be able to mutually authenticate without resorting to stupid questions about things we were doing 25 years ago and no longer remember.

From what I can tell, depending on the "car lord" is getting worse and worse too. There may have been an era when cars got more affordable due to greater reliability and longevity. I'm concerned that the car makers have figured out how to defeat that idea by charging fees to use the electronics in your car, and that servicing the batteries is going to be a rent-seeker's heaven.
No, Critical Race Theory is when you assign collective blame to a group of people based on the color of their skin. Think of how the Stormfront crowd will blame all black people for violent crime, rather than just the specific individuals committing the crimes. It's like that, but for white people. Collectivized guilt, with prescriptive policies using racial discrimination as an antidote.

Probably the most noted proponent of CRT is Ibram X. Kendi, who famously noted: "The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination."
It's interesting that the author doesn't like the complexity of kubernetes, but it appears they love complexity in the languages they use.
Lol, reminds me of of the large EMR platform I used to work on that (until very recently) could not handle the "fall back" DST event (thanks to local date encoding in very parts of the system).... So the recommended 'fix' for hospitals was to just turn it off (their entire electronic health record) for the duration of the DST changeover... I personally believe that a non-trivial amount of people die due to DST and similar time related bugs...
i have personally never held a google account, probably back when wave was in invite phase, i had applied for it but never got an answer. quit google probably then.

youtube for me personally has always been simple. ctrl+shift+p in firefox. open youtube. search for the video i am looking for and close browser. i understand i am in the minority and "generally" people like to voice their opinion, curate subscriptions show their support yada yada but why can't people just lurk moar as it was called in the old days? is engagement so necessary for users (not platforms mind you) that people necessarily need to like and share and follow and dislike to keep going?
I don't think there will be a next time.
Referendum votes were the proximate cause, sure, but isn't that kind of like blaming the metal atoms in a bullet for the death of a shooting victim? You're not wrong, but focusing entirely on "the voters" is willfully ignoring the bigger picture in ways that just might be important.
They want even more to have capable engineers and not having to pay top dollar for their skills.
this is quite true, bramins were traditionally the most educated caste (because that is what their culture emphasized) , it makes sense that in an era when education is favored over "might" in the western countries, that the people valuing education for thousands of years would rise over other castes.
I have a feeling that the conversation about quitting social media has
shifted lately among normal people. If you think you should quit
because spending time on social media is an unproductive activity in a
hostile environment, they might think they have a responsibility to
correct misinformation, to raise the profile of marginalized groups,
and to prove to the trolls that they won't be intimidated. Instead of
asking how to get rid of facebook, they want to know how to give legal
effect to facebook's moderation policies, especially the one against
anonymous accounts. I don't know whether this mentality is coming from
somewhere or if it's spontaneous, but I've seen it reflected in BBC
documentaries, and there was an interesting discussion a while back on
HN about a blog post by someone claiming to have received a
boilerplate reply from a recruiter featuring apologetics to this
effect after declining to interview with facebook.
Comparing with strings ain't no panacea either. There's some suspicion that Windows 9 was skipped because a lot of old software checked for Windows 95 or 98 by just doing a string compare against "Windows 9". (For the record, I kind of doubt this was much of a concern by the time Windows '9' was being worked on, but there's a certain logic to it.)

Forget about the emissions issue, I just hate driving and having to depend on its supporting infrastructure (repair shops, gas stations, insurance...) for my day-to-day needs. I live in a US suburb. Can't even get a sandwich or buy milk or see someone without strapping myself into my fucking car. This is no way to live.

If I could, I'd give up ever having to drive again in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, here we have few realistic options given where employers are located and how poor the transportation options that remain. It's a racket.
I strongly believe so, too.
Whether you like c++ or not, it can be low or high level and is a swiss army knife of sorts. As a gamedev using c++ I am sure you have learnt a lot about programming and systems and hardware, also about compile-time and runtime.
Those concepts are invaluable and help you out in any language and since c++ is so versatile you'll be able to make yourself comfortable in many languages.

E.g. colleagues of mine who have only used Python have no idea about references, heap and stack, L1/2/3 caches and so on. It's a shame.
As an engineer who has primarily been focused on technical skills the last 15 years, I can attest that having good social skills would get you further in 5 years than I have in the past 15.
When you’re young, you’re time rich and cash poor.

When you’re old, you’re cash rich and time poor.

But when you’re young you’re healthy, which is more important than both.

If you’re in your 20s and not hitting the gym regularly, start now. Wish I hadn’t left it so long, it will change your life.
An Indian guy talking about how he's treated by other Indian guys "reeks of anti-Indian bias"? Ok buddy.
> Due to compounding interest, a dollar made in your 20's is far, far more valuable than a dollar made in your 60's.

Yes. But you'll be earning relatively little when you're young so there won't be too many dollars left at the end of your fixed expenses to pull that trick with, besides, the interest rates are negative at the moment.

Whereas later in life you will likely make a multiple of what you make in your twenties, comfortably offsetting your gains.

Indeed, life is short. So while you're young and healthy, first and foremost ENJOY LIFE rather than to be focused on money and your old age all the time. Those will come anyway.

It's a fine line between having fun and enjoying life versus 'goofing around', but the big trick is to not look back with regret on what you could have done, but instead to appreciate what you have. If you don't your life will be an endless source of frustration.
They're accepting my mails on IPv6 just fine… are you sure you're not simply missing a PTR record for your IPv6 address? That seems to be the most common rake to step on.

(Of course there's a whole bunch of other anti-spam heuristics, but missing PTR is the most common in my limited personal experience.)

My wife had a small infected cellulitis treated at an emergency room because we were far from home and she was uncomfortable. Beyond what our "good" insurance paid we just recieved the 3rd bill for $795 (others were a several hundred). The worst part is that we have no idea if this is the final bill or if they'll keep coming until we're flat broke. It's like they have unlimited power to keep charging whatever they want.

Honestly, if we'd known it would be $2K out of pocket, we may have waited a day and found a lower cost solution for such a routine procedure (we've had this procedure done 3 times previously). However, we may have just accepted to pay. The point is that the patient has zero knowledge ahead of time what bills they are facing after the E-room visit.

At $2K (and climbing?) our bill is at least manageable. Our friend's wife (who has premium insurance) collapsed and was helicoptered to the E-room. Very sadly, she did not make it. Weeks later he recieved a bill nearing $100K for the helicopter lift.

It's a wicked practice, but the money has to come from somewhere. I'm sure it's a high overhead cost for an operator to have a medical helicopter and trained crew hangared and standing by for emergencies, then to operate during an emergency. However, the point is transparency and seemingly "wild west"-like unchecked billing practices. That way, when selecting insurance providers you can at least look ahead of time for things like ground/air ambulance that you're likely to need in a true emergency.
Not choosing is also a choice. The paralysis of choice is very nicely laid out in that piece.

Desktop only for now. I use the "Saved Messages" feature in Telegram to make notes on phone, and transfer them over later, and delete those messages to avoid build up.

From the beginning, it was never limited to work-related productivity. Examples of things that I've been regularly tracking:

- Habits: Wake Up / Sleep times, Daily Routine items I want to build consistency on, like exercising and meditation.
- Tracking TV Shows, Movies, Books, Articles.
- Meal Tracking, although it does not include calorie counting. I also track my weight, and find that graph particularly useful.
- Birthday / Anniversary Reminders, with multiple warning days to adjust for timezone difference.
- Conversations and Meeting notes, so that I can quickly remind myself about previous discussion when I am about to talk to someone.

Fun fact: I ended up accidentally impressing the girl who became my fiance with my "good memory" because of this.

I also added custom things like "conversation reminders" since I'm an introvert and needed a bit of a nudge if I have not spoken to certain friends in X days.

I mean yes, you have described literally the rhetorical techniques they are using to communicate their idea. Would you give them the green flag if they framed it more humbly "I meekly propose my opinion, that if one wants to better define intellect they could consider.. "
The above commenter likely is familiar with the expression, but they are being an obnoxious pedant about your use of the word "literally", which usually means "without metaphor" or exaggeration.
I gave up twitter, facebook and most all other social media about a 18 +/- months ago (though was never a big user to begin with) - it is truly a cesspool (and yes, I realize that HN is a minor version of social media).

I even went so far as to modify my hosts file so that I can't even get to twitter, facebook, instagram or LinkedIn (and several other places), just to resist the urge to follow a link that would bring me down the rabbit-hole.

Once you realize the entire business model of these social media giants is pretty much like a boxing match promoter - i.e. get the two sides to hate each other, and watch the groups fight it out online (and sell ads to make a profit).

It is not a coincidence that Americans are now strictly divided about just about every topic - and it has become pretty acceptable to wish death on anyone that disagrees with you on anything - that was not a mistake by Zuckerberg/Dorsey et al - that was by design. The more people hate each other, the more willing they are to get into the mosh-pit of social media and fight it out - while FB/Twitter sells advertising to the event.

Never forget: Zuckerberg/Dorsey and many others got rich by dividing Americans and amplifying the hate on both sides to be able to sell even more ads while they fight it out online.
