Arguing axiomatically then, I think the decline in roving bands of kids is directly tied to 2 completely different issues than you.

The first is the end result of 50 years of car centric city planning. It is unsafe for kids to rove in many places.

The second is the gutting of local public schools. Because wealthy parents are now encouraged to transport their children to far away schools and non-school affiliated activities the family spends all of its time in cars away from their neighborhood.

And for what it’s worth roving bands of kids are a common occurrence here in Hyde Park Chicago. It’s one of the reasons I live here.

To be pedantic, Ukraine's regular military forces are vigorously resisting the Russian invasion, not parts of Ukraine. Regarding the ethnic and identity composition of Ukraine's military forces -- I have no idea.

Note that //foo/bar.txt is a valid address (a “network-path relative URI reference”[1]). Those are rarely seen but are used sometimes when the same resource or snippet needs to be usable with both HTTP and HTTPS. (I think I first learned about this form while reading a text on gradual migration to HTTPS circa 2014.)

My impression is this form might actually be the original way of expressing network paths, what with UNC in Windows (\\server\share\file etc.) and POSIX carving out an exception specifically for two slashes at the beginning of a pathname (that is, foo//bar is the same as foo/bar and ///foo/bar is the same as /foo/bar, but //foo/bar may or may not be the same as /foo/bar).

I got a math degree, but I definitely failed at understanding that difference when learning geometry in high school. My teacher was good, but not good enough in separating that, and with classroom sizes getting larger by the decade, I think it's not the best approach to require that kind of tip-toeing. I'm not sure what would be better though, I've thought about maybe combinatorics could be a good replacement, but I also don't have the brain of a teenager anymore and I don't teach them either, so I don't know how far of a reach that would be.
CNN good enough? https://edition.cnn.com/europe/live-news/ukraine-russia-news...
I suggest taking another look at the list and comparing it to the required courses of the undergraduate math majors at the top 20 universities in the USA.

Real analysis, complex analysis, topology, and number theory are there (topology and number theory are both listed as electives since most math programs categorize them as such). Graph theory, functional analysis, differential geometry, probability, and statistics are almost always either electives or graduate courses.

It’s funny, because most of the things you mention as “real math” are things that many math undergraduates don’t learn (not until graduate school at least) but that physics students learn as undergraduates (differential geometry, measure theory, functional analysis, etc.).

a small nuclear war

An oxymoron if there ever was one. Our previous small nuclear war ended World War II.
Man, that math did not make any sense at all. A program can't use 10% of the CPU. It either uses the CPU or it doesn't. If a page renders with "5% CPU" measured over some interval that means it rendered twice as quickly, which is a substantial improvement.

That's the best scenario; regardless of whether the event reaches the destination or not, in most cases (except continuous monitoring of some parameter which admits losses) the source still will keep the information or the way to generate that information, so the amount of state that the queue at the source requires is still being used. But moreover, the source can throttle the generation of events, or it can just decide that that event is stale and can be dropped, or can pack that event with the next events, or can signal other processes about what is happening, or it can choose other path, or maybe it has some out-of-band signaling capability, or....

I've used Rails professionally for over a decade and you'd be hard-pressed to find a better framework for web dev that maximises productivity to get to a working product you can earn money from.

The realpolitik of it is, Russia has blundered into a catastrophe (or, if you prefer, the West provoked it by expanding NATO). Like the Soviets in Afghanistan, it will turn into a grinding, unwinnable quagmire. The thought is that the war will help pull down the Putin regime, like Afghanistan hollowed out the Soviet Union. It also invites anyone with a territorial dispute with Russia to push hard on it now, like the Japanese are doing.

It will be awful for Ukraine, and for the Russian soldiers sent to fight it. But the West's only alternative would be to encourage Ukraine to surrender, which would only tee up Putin's next invasion (Moldova, then the Baltics, then Poland).

I was the quiet "science and math" kid in class but took high school speech and debate to round out my experience to get into college.

I think, a quite recent thought, that the best thing to happen to Jobs, and Apple, was Jobs being fired. May sound stupid, but I think this break added some experience and humility that Jobs wouldn't have had if had just risen up to CEO and stayed there. And Apple was all the better of for it.
Not sure I would have opted for Bigtable here over sharded PostgreSQL because it unduly limits flexibility but within this constrained use case it works fine.

The big thing to remember which is covered by this article is your only real performant option to return multiple rows for BT is range scans so your keys should be setup to support this. If you need more than 1 index you are essentially shit out of luck - hence my preference to stay with PG as long as possible, even if that means sharding to multiple servers.

You're not saying things that make sense to me. The only currency that has depreciated lately is the Ruble and the Lira (4x that of the 3rd place). So to say that USD has suffered a "fatal blow", sounds to me like propaganda, either by being convinced by it, or generating it. It should be easy enough to look at this data for yourself.

Ask HN: Why do certain websites' images get smaller when I zoom in?
It seems as though very frequently these days whenever I try to enlarge an image by zooming in within chrome (ctrl-+) images end up getting smaller. What is with this current anti-pattern? I see it all over the place including Whatsapp, google images, facebook's gallery view.

When I zoom in within my browser I would assume images would get bigger not smaller.

I believe this to be an issue within dynamic flex-based layouts and/or percentage based width on an image.

Who is the we? Different countries, states, and grid-operators have different policies.

Grid-scale renewables in the US are not ‘take it any time I have it’ to the grid, they are generally required to be able to dispatch down. This means when they are told the addition of those units of power will cause problems the units will be penalized for adding them.

Renewables also pay for interconnection costs, they pay for transmission costs (which pays for transmission equipment), and they pay the grid-operators for operations. To say ‘all their costs are socialized’ borders on dishonest. I am open to there being additional externalities and balancing is a real challenge. But you have to tell me what they are and price them rather than rely on sweeping generalizations which are prima facie false.

My layman’s understanding is that huge warheads are a less efficient usage of nuclear materiel (in terms of sheer destruction) than a larger number of mid-sized warheads.
I feel some of these analyses focus on rate of crime but what strikes me has been the brazenness of the crimes. I’m SF and elsewhere you can see videos of people walking out of a Walgreen/Home Depot/Walmart knowing no one is really going to try to stop them (and nor should they).

Also slight nit to pick. A lot of San Francisco analysis compares SF county numbers to other counties. This is rarely and apples to apples comparison as SF county is the same geography as SF City so it’s numbers don’t get “softened” by having surrounding suburban cities. I had this argument a lot during COVID when people would try to compare SF county numbers to Miami-Dade.
The drama sucks, but I feel like there's drama in almost every dev community. I mostly just don't pay attention to any of it, because it doesn't affect my day to day usage of something like Rails.
Applied-focused courses (like modeling, optimization, etc.) are very broad, and I think that's where some application gets lost. For me, learning proofs within an applied-subject-domain (like partial differential equations) helped me a lot, because it was a different "flavor" of proofs, where you could understand that applied domain much much deeper.
Recently there has been some unfortunate drama with Basecamp and DHH but has the community and atmosphere around Rails always been "steeped in unnecessary drama"?

The only consistent unnecessary drama I've seen is that whenever Rails (or Ruby) get brought up on HN the conversation ends up beating the same dead horse about performance or "scalability".

> Communication is the most undervalued skill by other engineers, and getting good at it sets you apart far quicker than technical growth alone.

Engineers don’t undervalue this skill, many are just not good at it (and can’t get good at as easily as they can get better with technical skills). It is more of a selection bias in the sense that people who did well technically but were not great communicators would pursue engineering as a career vs others. These days, when the money is good enough that many more people pursue careers in (software) engineering, those who see the career as a refuge aren’t so common anymore.

I take a tiny bit of issue with that.

Cryptography consulting is a higher labor rate, and higher end pen-testing w TS SCI+full poly, and application security gurus are above, or equal to IR.

There are currently poaching wars going on around talented IR folks. A fortune 500 recently hired away an IR colleague with whom I collaborated around tap & agg with a FAANG type offer, RSUs, the whole shebang
I'm not sure if there's such a thing as a 100% renewable economy, perhaps if you mean energy inputs yes, but there's always(?) going to be processes that involve emissions through 'work' as well as any emissions to create those renewable energy sources.

We can always offset. I mean, burning fossil fuels in itself is not a bad thing, but we know they're a finite resource and we simply have to offset those emissions with carbon sequestration.

I would not recommend this, I think it's more trouble than its worth, the syntax highlighting isn't going to be great, and I think you're just going to confuse your coworkers, but if you really want to, you can take advantage of the fact that CSS ignores rules that it doesn't recognize.

.Component__child {

Of course, you have some restrictions around syntax here (again, I didn't say I advise doing this), and of course if CSS ever adds a TODO rule you might run into problems.

As someone in retail there is only one cause to the flooding of shoplifting - stores asking their employees not to deal with it

It is perfectly legal in California for an employee to use non-lethal force to detain a shoplifter. Its also legal to put them in a cell and call police, and not let them out until the police come (even if they will just free them)

Once a store is known to not do any of this, then yeah - every shoplifter will come flooding into those small subsets of stores

Ignoring extreme cases like shoplifting flash mobs - i'm just writing about the people who come in, empty a shelf into a bag and leave. You can't do that in 90% of stores. The employees will become violent with you.

There was the very famous case of the Rite Aid that closed in NYC. That block is wall to wall stores. Duane Reed, some expensive clothing stores. None of them had the hourly shoplifting Rite Aid had, because only Rite Aid made it known they will not attempt to stop anyone

Again in NYC, it costs $50/hr to bring in an armed uniformed off-duty NYPD officer to stand in your store. They get overtime and its run through the city, officers sign up for it. If you can't justify $50/hr to help shoplifting, then you probably have different issues going on causing you to close (the rent for that Rite Aid was probably $10k+/month)
Probably "everything stops" because tabs consume too much memory and OS starts swapping data to disk.
You have shorter commutes due to saner housing and city planning policies.
I firmly believed that as well, right up until I learned that the broader web dev world wasn’t as difficult, slow, or unproductive as the Rails world had tried to convince me it was. I haven’t done web dev for a very long time but I still don’t have any issues dropping into modern non-Rails frameworks and being productive.

> You don't need to be involved with the Twitter aspect at all.

It’s possible, yes, but the drama has become so pervasive that it’s going to come across your feeds and daily conversations even if you don’t want to see it. It raises questions about the future of the project when it’s so bad that multiple core developers are resigning over it. But most importantly: This level of drama doesn’t exist in most other projects. Yes, there is always some drama and conflict, but something about Rails takes it to the next level.
I think the point is badly presented, but I conclude that there will be no Rails Conf for _him_.
Agreed, the internet is core infrastructure and cloud services will increasingly handle more and more essential services. A union would put the on-call rules/schedules/compensation in the hands of the workers, not left to the whims of an unaccountable manager.

I recently showed the WSJ numbers for domestic petrochem production and for spot prices of crude (from 1985 to present) to a guy who then claimed that WSJ is a "leftist rag, pushing a commie liberal agenda".

I read the post as DHH saying he won’t attend RailsConf. The conference can still happen without him. You could read the title as “No RailsConf [for me]”.
Sorry. I will work hard to improve but it’s hard to please everyone. Regardless, I will do my best to get better. Thank you for your feedback.

My personal guess is that there are multiple causes. Different people are affected differently by the same thing. If we have pervasive exposure to numerous things that have (unproven) theories behind them, it would be hard to identify any given one due to the noise and long duration (epigenetic especially) that might be required to manifest rhetoric end result.

There's so much we've learned over the past century, and yet it feels like know almost nothing when we try to dig into complicated life science topics.
Overbuilding by 5x means you also need to multiply the cost by 5x. Is solar still cheaper than nuclear once you factor that in? (Not to mention the cost of energy storage.)
