It's subjective, in my opinion. I might be fine with inline SVGs if they were "smaller", ie didn't have the doctype and root element and general XML verbosity on all nodes. PlantUML / Mermaid have a much more to-the-point syntax.

Also, I personally hate markdown tables since editing even a single cell means that I likely have to then resize either the entire row or the entire column, or both. So when I do need tables I use HTML tables anyway.

At any rate, a middle-ground might be to have the diagram source as references at the end of the document, and reference those from the use site, like `![Chart][#chart]` or something. So you don't have to see the diagram source inline if you don't like it, but it's still there in the same file.
1. You drink the cool aid, the perspective is different, you will think it is hit piece and the people are out to get your company and discard valid journalism along with the junk . [1]

2. If you job depends on your not understanding something, most people won't understand even if it is common sense. The economic incentives don't align

3. It is easy to blame the institution vaguely like all the people who didn't directly kill/torture anyone in Nazi Germany nevertheless enabled the oppressive government to function. [2]

[1] More extreme forms we see today all the time with vaccine and other science denialism enabled/ fueled by platforms like Facebook

[2] Comparison with Nazis is not to equate with Facebook and offend anyone, it is to illustrate that even in the extreme case like that unless you are directly involved easy to ignore and support/enable atrocities at that level let alone what companies like Facebook / Google do
It sucks that your neighbor has gathered many large trucks and is honking them for 18 hours a day in order to compel you to do something. Why isn't anyone doing anything about it? Now that you know you're being tortured what are your plans?

Please don't take HN threads further into flamewar hell. I understand that emotions are high on this topic, but comments like this are a noticeable step in precisely the wrong direction, and strongly against the site guidelines.

Beeper is essentially that. I’ve been using it for a few months and it’s surprisingly usable already.
I have 4 systems I use in my home office 2 laptops, a workstation and a server. I only use the monitors and inputs attached to my workstation. The others could be considered essentially headless.

I use ssh and rdp to work with the others.

FF is slightly more customizable for non-tech users. It used to be almost infinitely more customizable.

The difference has gone from dramatic to negligible and even that much is now hidden behind flags that don't even appear in the UI.
Back in the 60's, my mom bought a can of barbeque sauce which had on the back a recipe for "Barbie Cups". (Recipes for what you can make with a product were commonplace then.) It became a family favorite. My mom passed a long time ago, but it's still a family favorite. I've never seen them anyplace else.

The efficacy of his approach is worth investigating beyond the just-so descriptives used in your comment and the wikipedia article. Many of the people he claims to have converted are still avowed racists and klansmen.

Well, if they reproduce pre-Proton UI, Developer Tools and userChrome.css this way I'll just use it without complaints, despite being former diehard fan of Firefox. Because when they killed XUL addons and started messing with UI/UX every so often I stopped being one and now already consider it one of the Chrome average lookalikes on PC as there is no practical difference between using ungoogled Chromium (before manifest v3) and latest Firefox in my use-case. With Chromium being slightly better because I don't need to jump through hoops to install unpacked local addons there.
I’m gonna say something pedantic and perhaps obvious.

You don’t manage people. If you do, you’re a bad manager. You manage problems and projects and enable people to do their jobs well. You facilitate conversations and make sure they have what info and tools they need.

People are not robots you control. You are not better than them. You aren’t above them. In fact you’re usually far easier to replace than them.

Maybe I have a chip on my shoulder but this is core to bad managers: they think their reports are their subjects to lord over.

Another annoyance is how the sync between the editor and preview pane "jumps" uncontrollably when using mermaid. I do however love it too and comitted to use it over other note-taking software.
Perhaps, but there are several advantages those payment networks provide me:

1) Security. I'm not using my money when I use a credit card. If someone stole a credit card, my bank account is not at risk in the same way if I lost a debit card or a check.

2) Fraud protection. On top of not using my own money, if someone does spend with a credit card, I'm protected much better than if it was my own money. Disputes and fraud on bank-issued debit cards tie up my money, meaning I can't pay my bills. Fraud and disputes on credit cards tie up some of my credit, and is not interest-bearing while it's under review.

3) Grace period. I basically have 45-60 days from when I purchase something to when I have to pay the statement balance that charge is part of. This gives me 45-60 days of cash that _if I needed to use_, I could. Granted, that would typically be in an emergency-type situation. That means if I have a flat tire, and my rent is due, and I didn't happen to have the cash ready that second, I don't need to make a decision (yet) or get a payday loan. I can figure out what to do over the next 45 days while not missing rent.

4) Interest. While almost every credit card out there has predatory interests, you can get low-interest credit cards, which can help in a tight squeeze. While it might be worse than a personal loan (depending), other options, such as a payday loan or even lay-away, are very much worse.

5) Cashback & rewards. I can easily get 4% cash back average for purchases I make, without paying any more or facing any inconvenience. Sometimes you run into a 3% credit charge, which I'm okay with if I'm getting similar cash back or the above protections.

If you can figure out a system that gives me all that and can be used nearly everywhere, then I'm all ears. But any new system needs to address the above.
When was that debunked? The last I heard the police were investigating. I even saw video from it.

Ah yes, difference between whipping cream and whipped cream explains it.
The US is metric for everything except casual conversation. In the same way that i see and hear people in the UK say "he weighs 18 stone" or whatever, but everyone knows what a gram and kilogram and metre is.

There's some things where knowing the SI definition is irrelevant, like how many PSI a tire needs. Sure, knowing what that is in SI is useful if you're trying to figure out how much a car weighs, but if i'm at the gas station setting the pump to 35 doesn't really matter.

Industry and commerce is conducted on the global standard, though. And while the average american might not know how to convert between kilometers and miles (or hogsheads or chains or ...), but knows 500km is far, 500kg is heavy, and 500l is a lot.

Until the SI stuff is the largest part of labels, and people feel like paying a ton of extra taxes to replace every road sign in the entire country (there's millions!), it's never going to be a "metric" country. Just think of the logistics and cost of replacing every road sign, including "mile markers", exit number signs, distances on all US government roads (BLM, USDA, Forestry), overpass signs, speed limit signs and road paint - i don't see that happening any time soon. If the only benefit is "the rest of the world stops talking smack because we're backwater imperial measurement users", would you force everyone to pay for that?
Thought I would get back commute time. Instead I just waste it. And now I miss my co-workers.
When I went from contractor to permanent at my last employer the goal-setting really stressed me out as I knew I didn’t want to be held responsible for something that might change.

In the end I just decided to stop thinking about it to avoid the stress and my manager stopped asking. End of the year I filled in suitable goals based on what I had done and explained how well I’d met them.

It worked very well for me and I did the same for every year I was employed there.

It's a Canada policy, but is specific to crossing the border from the US.

"Specific to internal affairs" is a stretch at best.

The guidance from the CDC has been relatively clear: closures depend on the state of the local hospital system and transmission rates. Closures that avoid overwhelming health systems protect medical staff, increase COVID survival rates, and allow people who need non-COVID treatment for diseases like cancer to have access. It has been that way since the beginning of COVID, and is part of the standard response for every pandemic in modern history.

The only person who has been bringing up racism is you. If you want to participate in a culture war by complaining about culture wars, go right ahead. If you want to discuss pandemic response, please join the conversation. Better yet, join the campaign to get people vaccinated. It will save lives and we can re-open more quickly.

When asking if anyone in the protest had firearms, a journalist was ejected from a news conference. Would have been a good opportunity to disavow violence, but here we are. In this case, it's not so much painting with broad strokes as much as judging by the company they keep.

The idea that throwing a USB in a drawer does better is absolutely ridiculous.

I think this illustrates where folks can go wrong.

Many folks and business TODAY are backing up to NAS / RAID arrays etc. Many are easily corruptible by ransomware. We see this REPEATEDLY with many infections of large orgs.

The basic story here is that something not editable has great value even if not perfectly current. If you do a diff every 4 hours you have covered a LOT of ground already.

I've sat through continuous DR architecturing discussions - the massive cost / complexity / scale can just be out of control for many users.

In many use cases Active Directory for example behind by 4 hours is not game ending. With notice to users that recent edits may not be captured you may be able to get back up and running pretty quickly.
Did they formally update your performance rating? Did you end up getting the raise you were expecting, or did they give an excuse like "well all the raises have been allocated at this point"? The immediate situation sounds like it sucked enough, but if it had continuing ramifications, I'd be beside myself.
Somebody else might say the same thing about HP and Amazon. But it isn't much help to anybody else. If you steer somebody away from the frying pan and into the fire, what good was your help?

Sure but there's no markdown spec. Markdown is purely a series of blog posts by John Gruber and a collection of different implementations. CommonMark is as close to as it's gotten to a formal spec, and even it says there is no requirement the info string (i.e. text like mermaid after backticks) be interpreted for specific rendering (or not rendering) of the content: https://spec.commonmark.org/0.28/#fenced-code-blocks

I would imagine huge number of non-technical users share a computer and want their own chrome profiles so that they can access their own emails without signing out of their family members. I know my middle-aged parents use Chrome in this way for example, and it would be a blocker for switching them to Firefox.

Which specific github flavored features violate the original spirit of markdown? I only use the basic syntax, but I don’t think I’ve run across a readme edit that hasn’t adhered to that original spirit.
Well this separation is mostly because engineers don't want to touch anything Python with a 10-feet pole, and data scientists won't touch anything else than Python.

Honestly, I understand where this is coming from, and I am glad that because of your tool, data scientists are going to be less of a liability to engineers.

But honestly, what I wish is that something that is not Python (anything that is strongly typed will do, seriously!) takes over data science so that we can all play ball together again.
Thanks for the victor mono recommendation. It looks really good! I was blown away by how narrow it was compared to other forms in the comparison tool.

That's what I mean - intersections do not need a marked crosswalk as the law treats it as one. Some people don't know this and think if it doesn't have a painted crosswalk, then it isn't one.

Frankly, almost no law is enforced as it's written. Law enforcement discretion and judges legislating from the bench are extremely common in all areas. That said, if you hit someone, you will be investigated (how thoroughly depends on the circumstances).
Main stream media...I live near Portland and the local news covered very little about it. 30 second clip of the peaceful start...and little about the destruction and chaos that was seen night after night.

Eventually even the local news started showing what was going on when their crew were attacked covering the story. However this happened many times before and they simply left and didn't cover what was happening.

I’ll help your argument out and make it stronger (because “reserved” vaccines have indeed been shipped overseas):

Once a vial is opened the vaccines contained therein can’t be shipped overseas and will expire in a few hours. I could therefore wait outside a Walgreens before closing and get the shot.

Except Im not a utilitarian. I cannot take what is rightfully another’s just because they cant enjoy it. I believe that all young people should have refused the shot, therefore liberating millions of doses. Mine is but the first (literal) drop in what should be an ocean; and Im actively encouraging my friends to do the moral thing and refuse to get boosted.

North America has multiple generations growing up around car centric infrastructure that most people can't even fathom the idea that cars cause many problems that we face today like suburban sprawl, pollution, poverty

Access to transportation is a key component to social mobility and requiring car ownership to participate in society greatly punishes the poor -- and I suspect that's by design
I read the story. The MD does not claim she or her staff has been harassed. Her one claim is "And a lot of people have been harassed, have been told to take their masks off." The MD also claims "I would say that a huge 18-wheeler is not a peaceful thing to have in the middle of your city" which is weird since large trucks are a primary and pervasive mode of transporting goods nearly everywhere. The story also does not disclose that the interviewee is an Ontario public employee, essentially a spokesperson for the government position, which is in opposition to the protestors.

It's not a relevant browser. The last time I have seen Safari installed on a Windows machine was likely 2013-14, if not earlier. It doesn't have an Android version (which makes it less relevant on smartphones). It doesn't support Linux, which lots of the power user/tech trailblazer crowd is using. It's not open source, unlike Firefox or Chromium. It lags in features (which to be fair, isn't bad when they impact privacy).

I don't think there's a good case to be made for Safari outside of Apple devices.
I don't think github should (generally) render stuff in the browser (although I see that both "benign"[1] graphs and source code highlights, not to mention the somewhat simple translation from Markdown to html - probably could be done in the browser as js/wasm.

But for "markdown the language" having a standard syntax for embed/evaluate along with prettify/highlight would've been nice - effectively a standard markup for multi-language "notebooks"/literate programs (maybe we need a triplet: format, render/embed, transclude/literate programming).

Github could then opt-in to highlighting the N languages they do, and initially only try to render mermaid graphs. Then perhaps also graphviz graphs. Etc.

[1] I'm sure one could do some minor DOS at least with a 500 mb graph..
More importantly: test that you can restore from backup. If you're not confident that you can restore from backup, you don't have a backup.
You could also use Brave or (Kiwi + uBlock Origin) on Android, both of which are Chromium derivatives.
i love the idea of the site but i would like to see one change. Instead of adding a product when it breaks, let someone add it when they buy it then send a yearly reminder of the products they have added and if they want to update their status. this would have the benefit of:
-tracking % of product failures
-finding out if they function longer then they are needed.
-finding out which products outlast others before they get to the point failure
-potentially notify/warn users of potential issues that come up to before theirs breaks

I think a lot of people dont care enough to upload info just to help product designers, some will do it to help out other consumers, but if you can provide more value to the person with the product you want info on that should get you the most engagement.

I live in Germany. Yes, education is (almost) free but still not anyone can just enroll, although I think some universities have programs where you can just attend lectures and not do exams. I don't think that's possible for some more prestigious universities (like KIT or TU Darmstadt), though. I might be wrong.
Argument passing is, or was, defined in the "argument association" section of the standard, which obviously doesn't preclude implementing by reference. I don't know whether the same language was in the '66 standard. It isn't anything to do with protected memory as far as I know (which is early '60s); I don't know what CDS is. The point of f2c was just to show that what happens with the invalid code depends on the backend code generation with essentially the same frontend.

Regarding different sorts of argument passing, ALGOL 60 had call-by-value, -by-reference, and -by-name.
