Perhaps coincidentally, but I can rarely sleep more then 6 hours in a night. It seems that I've always been that way. My eyes just open after about 6 hours, and I feel the need to get out of bed. The only way I've ever been able to get more is when I'm hungover or ill.

I don't ever feel like I need to sleep more, but the anxiety I get from all the sleep studies telling me I do need to sleep more, sure does keep me up at night!
>> OP was claiming that any third-party analytics are unacceptable

> Don't put words in my mouth. I was not claiming that.

You stated that only self-hosted analytics were acceptable. Your exact words were:

> The only way to do analytics in a way that's respectful to the visitors' privacy is with an installable on-host software. That's it.

This implies - to me - that in your view all third-party analytics are unacceptable from privacy perspective.

I'm not sure how else I was supposed to parse that statement?

Either way, I disagreed with that, and said it's certainly possible to work with third-party service providers, of many kinds including analytics, while still respecting your customers' privacy.

Surprisingly difficult for Joe Public to get on - how to solve that problem?
None of what you wrote here deals with what I said, which is that more Americans would have died, had we not spent the money we did.
Depends on the industry, I guess. Recruiters in my industry tend to interact directly with the hiring managers and it would be pretty obvious.
I wasn't a founder. I was one of the 6 developers.

We happened to not use any vendor-specific APIs.

And it still killed us to fork our stack, and to teach our kiosks to be able to talk to the right server, and the extra cost of the servers in France, and the lack of support we saw from the provider in France...
That is actually exactly what I'm saying.

A message's ability to provoke some form of action is entirely dependent on its ability to create some form of emotion, be it fear and indignation or hope and optimism. The most effective rhetoricians are exactly those that are very good at producing those feelings. From Hitler on one side as the archetypal rabble-rouser; to MLK on the other end of the spectrum, who created profound optimism and hope. It isn't because of their syllogisms that they were convincing rhetoricians.

Merely knowing a fact is rarely sufficient to provoke action, unless that knowledge itself creates an emotion (an idea can have aesthetic value, for example).

There's a good chance these positions never existed.

Company needed to "prove" that no American Engineers are available to fill the position to then justify sponsoring a visa. Then they'll go to the elected officials and whine that there's a "shortage" of engineers to try to get higher immigration quotas for H1Bs.

So they put a junior’s salary and senior experience requirements, then proceed to hire someone with “5 years of experience” at a famous foreign consulting firm (real or not). The experience is then used to justify why new grads have to be paid lower (he’s a senior, we can’t pay new grads the same as a senior) and to qualify for the visa.
> I have to say that if Neanderthal women looked like this [0], they certainly looked a bit strange, but they were not repelling or appeared un-human.

The theory is out there that Neanderthals were furry; I believe that's because there isn't evidence of them wearing clothing.
Brazil has had its inflation under control (for Latin American standards, anyway) since the 90s, after the Plan Real. Also, Latin American runaway inflation is something that has been happening since the 60s, every measure under the sun has been tried to fix it, with only limited success in some cases. Anyway, it's a bit more complicated than "spending money like crazy and being corrupt".
Wages going up is not what the article is talking about, wages becoming available is what the article is talking about, as seen by our extremely robust jobs numbers.
Are you sure about that Reuters? Twitter's stock is up 5% over the last five days. It seems to me that they met the market's expectation for growth. Not many people buy more of a stock after it underperforms their expectations.

This headline is at best misleading -- intended to give the impression that Twitter is performing worse than they are by ignoring the metrics in which they are excelling -- or potentially even just outright wrong.
The walrus being a far-left MMT proposing place wrote this when inflation was at 3.5% or so. It's now much higher and very evidently out of control.

The article quotes Mark Carney, as if he were on their side. BoE under Carney have raised interest rates twice: https://tradingeconomics.com/united-kingdom/interest-rate and that hasn't even dented inflation. https://tradingeconomics.com/united-kingdom/inflation-cpi

I believe Carney has a speech tonight which most likely will touch on inflation and interest rates. Guess we'll see.

MMT and UBI as political subjects have been utterly dead since the time this article was written. What a disaster of an article.
First, billions of people have been using WhatsApp for years for 1:1 and small group communication. It's much bigger than Twitter for years now. Second, it's not the same. On WhatsApp/Signal you primarily communicate with people you know well. On Twitter you primarily consume content or communicate with people you don't know.
That page is what I would definitely not characterize as a proper source. From the page itself:

> Any attempt to estimate a total number of killings under communist regimes depends greatly on definitions, and the idea to group together different countries such as Afghanistan and Hungary has no adequate explanation.

There doesn't seem to be a real consensus on what actually should be counted or not. But I'm ok with taking the widest, most encompassing definition. One should wonder then, what number would we get if we apply the same definition to pro-Western/capitalist countries?
Yes, that’s why it’s square root of 2. Consider the origin (0,0,0, …) to a random point on the sphere (~0, ~0, ~0, …).

Distance = square root of ((X1 - X2) ^ 2 + (Y1 - Y2) ^2 + …). So D = square root of ((~0-0)^2 + (~0-0)^2 + (~0-0)^2 + … ), which is equal to 1 by definition of the unit high dimensional sphere.

So distance from (1,0,0,0 …) to (~0, ~0, ~0, …) = square root of ((~0-1)^2 + (~0-0)^2 + (~0-0)^2 + … ) ~= square root of 2.
That outcome honestly sounds better? Less loss of life
The barriers are the investment in diverse, engaging instructors and developing a well integrated product.

Neither are insurmountable for Apple, but then really given the amount of cash that Apple has - very few businesses are out of reach for them.
Yep, same here. It’s infuriating. I’ve been using nitter to get around the modal, but who knows how long that will continue working.
Without legally imposed duty of care, the only thing that can be done to draw a line in the sand is to commit (collectively) to maintaining a reasonable level of professional practice.

Simply do not entertain probing and meddling. "It's going to take a little longer because the software is complex and it takes some time to untangle it" is all you need to say. Whether you refactor/test/document it in the process of understanding it is irrelevant.
I think this work is absolutely commendable, but at the end of the day it's a database written in Python with Rust extensions sprinkled here and there. Is 1.0 your MVP?
I don't know, my hair stylist increased the price for a haircut 2 times during the past 2 years. She isn't rich by any means. People who work and can set their prices adjust fast. People who depends on salaries set by others lag behind, but eventually even the government wages catch up. What never catches up are the savings. If you had 10,000$ before inflation - that will be worth less after without any bouncing back.

I don't think we disagree.
Or he was forced out
The fact that Apple can't/won't explain this practice is strange, but on surface seems not dissimilar to a former (maybe current) practice of Boalt Law (a US top 10 school) which does not publish graduate rankings (e.g. "top of their class") as they view themselves as "if you were good enough to graduate from Boalt, you are good enough, period."

So this definitely could be read into several ways.
Hello everyone! Hope you're all good

This is awesome. A bit of self-promotion: I, too, wrote a deliberately obtuse raytracer: https://github.com/chunky/sqlraytracer
I have been doing nodejs backend developpement for the past 10 years. I'm not sure why we would need that honestly. Looks like it could create some mess if packages on npm all start importing files from random servers. Suddenly your CI relies on many servers to be up. And I don't know what's the problem with declaring things in package.json.
Poor people can benefit from inflation in the sense of it wiping out debt or spurning wage inflation/decreasing wealth inequality
That article doesn't seem to support your claim. All of the feats mentioned would be entirely unremarkable in your average human.
Same here. I really feel like I should curate a twitter profile but it is just bad for my mental health.

To me, it feels like a small library of really cool books but the library happens to be housed randomly inside of a giant lunatic asylum.
> Inflation favors the debtor, while deflation favors the saver

No, deflation favors currency hoarders and lenders; the primary mechanism of saving is investment in productive assets, which deflation disfavors.

> Obviously the world's largest debtor (US govt) will consider inflation to be desirable and necessary.

Except it doesn't, except at a very low level; inflation in general (and energy inflation, in particular, which is one of the main factors in the current overall inflation) is one of the most well-established objective factors adverse to reelection of incumbent politicians in the US.

> Keep an eye on the Fed, especially before the midterm elections. The Biden administration will put an extreme amount of pressure to continue quantitative easing, even if the Fed is signaling that rate hikes are coming soon.

If? The Fed is already tapering QE, scheduled to end it mid-March, and signalling a mid-March rate hike.
> more Americans would have died, had we not spent the money we did.

But we don't know that that is true, and it doesn't seem likely based on the fact that the data shows no perceptible changed based on the money being spent; the variations in the data are entirely due to seasonality and different variants appearing.
This is a nice example. How the data is stored physically? Does the model work for large datasets and when it could break down? What are optimal workloads? Do we still need to fiddle with indexing and such?

> you 100% trust your import source

This is a perfect circumstance for the adage "trust but verify".
"Should" has no place in what I'm trying to explain to you. I have never said laws are always fair or anything like it. The point is that you can't have your cake and eat it too, by saying "but my servers are in the usa, just like the physical office", "but it is truly impossible to stop every German user to use my site" and stuff like that you will only sound extremely naive, what they (you or anybody) can do is ignore the request to comply with foregein law and suffer the consequences (be blocked there and/or several others) or comply with the foreign law and that doesn't mean necessarily removing the content (focusing in this case), they can opt to make a honest attempt at blocking Germany users from using the app (leave the German market).
As far as I'm aware OrientDB don't call themselves "graph-relational". In fact, they're positioning themselves as a multi-model NoSQL database. Where's EdgeDB positions itself as a relational database and a successor of SQL.
Sometimes, companies fact check what interviewees say. Things like verifying employment, salary, title, etc. This can lead to inconsistent results as mentioned in the original article, when your claimed job role/title and what Apple says after you left don't match anymore.
To be fair though, you're in the top 5% of a massively important trait which women select for with greater precedence than any other physical attribute. 'Dad bod' almost always implies someone of above average height. Women tend to imagine more of a Norm McDonald than a Jason Alexander when they think of 'dad bod'.
My main concern's dragnet spying and user-targeted (not content-targeted) ads but I do think it'd be nice to get rid of (nearly) all ads, too—it's just that if I can only pick eliminate all ads or eliminate all spying, I'd pick the latter. I think that priority order is why people tend to fixate on big tech, for which the spying is all tied up with the advertising, but I also think magazines selling subscriber lists should be illegal, the CRAs should either be eliminated or much more tightly regulated, credit card companies shouldn't be able to sell your purchase data, et c. No companies should be able to do those things, it's just that Big Tech does a lot of that (but so do financial institutions and so on, sure, and those shouldn't be able to do it either).

Separately, yes, it would be nice to at squeeze all advertising down to some very small factor in the economy, if not completely eliminate it (which is probably impractical).

[EDIT] But back to the original point, your scary-no-advertising-world post mostly just describes the current state of our has-advertising world.

Technical skills are only part of the equation. You personality is more important. If you are a perfectionist then you are a problem. If you are high maintenance then you are a problem. If you can't work with the team then you are a problem. All these things are just as important to finding the right developer.
This seems like a bad tradeoff, considering that MMS are entirely unencrypted and traverse a lot of legacy infrastructure.
This title is way underselling this.

What's incredibly frustrating about the knocks on JavaScript is that it's not a shortcoming of the language that creates the problems hinted here, but the poorly-considered engineering choices of the popular frameworks.

After building my own framework [1] last year, I realized just how disconnected JavaScript developers—yes, the "big boys" are especially off in CS la-la land—were from web development fundamentals. HTTP distilled down to its absolute essence is brilliant, but for some reason gets absolutely ignored in the JS world. When you couple that with websockets for incremental updates (similar to what Chris McCord is doing in Phoenix), it's insanely powerful. It can be reasonably lightweight, too, if you're only shipping the JS you need to render the page.

That rendering some HTML, CSS, and interactive JS in a browser has been turned into what it has is staggering. Though, not surprising, when you realize a lot of the momentum in JavaScript the last decade or so was perpetuated by venture capital (and the inevitable fast and cheap nature of that world) being pumped into inexperienced teams.

If you have a car, and drive it 100 miles every day, and keep driving it for years, it will seem like everything is fine. Until one day the engine seizes up and it unexpectedly costs you $5,000 to fix, because you never changed the oil or did any other maintenance. There was never any apparent, obvious reason that maintenance was required. But no regular maintenance does lead to unexpected high costs.

It is critical that technical people have data to back up their claims that maintenance is needed. We need to identify exactly what each piece of tech debt is, how much work is needed to remediate it, and what the business cost of not remediating it is. Otherwise the business has literally zero idea what it will cost them not to do maintenance. This is an expected part of professional software engineering in a business. If you are not gathering this data and presenting it to leadership, do not expect them to take you seriously. It is up to you to prove your case.
The biggest difference (at least for Phoenix LiveView) is having a stateful backend represent the UI and we do away entirely with HTTP APIs/serializers/resolvers. So you get both interaction and push updates from the server at any time, without HTTP glue layers. And it actually scales. So think React's functional-reactive-templates on the server, pushing minimal diffs over the wire better than if you'd carefully written an efficient JSON API or GraphQL endpoint. Elixir is also a distributed programming language so you also get things for free like sending an update to everyone's UI across the entire cluster.
Sadly, your outcome is an outlier. The conversion funnel using those hostile tactics is significantly higher than churn in short term, and that's all that matters for someone's promo packet.
I'm a satisfied customer - one of my favorite products. Based on that I would assume there's a solid business here. Did the valuation get too far from fundamentals - I dunno and I don't care as long as they stay in business.
Sure, so, let's say that France decides that HN info is PII.

So then Hacker News has to launch servers in France.

And then French HN users are in an island, and only see other French HN users' posts and comments.

And, to be clear, you think that's a good thing?
That's kind of the rub with twitter, it puts individuals front and center... and individuals presumably have more than one interest that they might want to talk about. I mainly use twitter to surface fanart and some communities are very organized with using the right #tags, and when I check those tags I have a 100% hit rate on finding something new that I want to see. But anything else on that site is a crapshoot. It's kind of twitter's normal culture to be disorganized, but I'm pretty sure I and everyone I interact with on twitter are actually tumblr refugees and we're very diligent with tagging.

You're really better off with traditional thread-based forums to have conversation topics. Muting somebody's entire existence just because they occasionally dirty the general feed with 'offtopic' just doesn't seem like a sustainable way to use social media.

Re: shared mailboxes, yes, correct.

I've been doing a bit more research and I have to amend my previous comment: there's also Zoho, which has its own ecosystem.

Other than that, all of the standalone email providers seem to be running a standard Linux or Windows email stack (i.e. Postfix/Dovecot/Roundcube or Exchange Server). The Linux stack doesn't seem to be able to do it (well, either that or the providers don't offer it).

Exchange Server might be able to do it, but it looks hard to wrangle it together with other tools. Even the Exchange hosting providers just give up and resell MS365 at that point (e.g. https://www.combell.com/en/email-hosting/exchange-hosting, https://www.combell.com/en/work-online-office365).

I've always enjoyed the theory that the Wild Man figure is a cultural memory of the last days of the Neanderthal. It's a bit far-fetched, since they've been gone for a very long time, but recent realization of specific cultural memories on the order of 10,000 years (and of more schematic ideas like the Pleiades for even longer) suggests it may be possible.

You don't think lowering healthcare costs, keeping sick people at home, and straight up giving parents of children cash resulted in fewer of the most vulnerable people in US society dying?

And there absolutely was a substantial dip in deaths after the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 was passed in March of 2021. Last summer was the closest to "back to normal" we've gotten since this pandemic started.
It seems pretty hard to think the US will drop the legislation every 3-letter-agency had wished for over the decades before it became law. The only thing I can imagine that actually gets the law changed is if the EU heavily invests in prosecuting these cases, to the point that tons of US companies worry they'll lose access to the EU market (with non-negligible fines to back up the law).

Data does not support that. People with lower wages suffer the most with inflation. It's like a regressive tax. A $2 increase in the price of a gallon of gas takes a much bigger percentage chunk out of the disposable income of a minimum wage employee than tech folks.

> Right, so such devices will be detected as "NOT a touch screen".

`hover: none` means it's a touch screen.

The idea being that the device shouldn't expect hover inputs. Hence "touch devices with a dedicated mouse can be detected as no-hover devices"

Paraphrased, the bit of the spec I quoted says "even if a touch laptop has a mouse, `hover: none` will still match". Here's a quick fiddle to show: https://jsfiddle.net/b2f69uya/

Ultimately: if you have a touch control as a device's primary input, there's a guarantee that `hover: none` will be satisfied.
