> Kyiv is at best a distraction

What is that based on? Factually, Russia has invested a lot to conquer Kyiv and Ukraine; the rest is speculation. They may settle for less, but that is not evidence that it was intended as a distraction.

(Also, it is no 'distraction' to the people of Kyiv and Ukraine.)
Having bureaucrats look at 'jobs to be done' sounds awfully intrusive and inefficient, and needlessly morally arbitrary.

Just do a gas tax (or carbon tax) and be done with it. If you are worried about some specific use cases, just give those deserving people money so they can pay their taxes with that.
Y'all are crazy. PHM is a banging album.
To be clear, I'm talking about the places that are visibly on the map. You can scroll around and find cafes and hotels that simply don't get returned the moment you send a search query.

Places that are visibly there but not returned in search result.. It's the most bizarre thing.
> Maybe they're trying to nudge us towards smaller PRs. Many reviewers gloss over 300+ line changes in a single file.

Unfortunately there are a massive number of codebases where a "simple" change can mean changing _lots_ of places.
Am late to this game but this whole scenario is almost not worthy of ridicule, but more importantly is not unique to any hypothetical participation by the Fed at the retail level in the US. In fact, seemingly every few weeks a post appears on HN from a Paypal or other private account user complaining that they were for no reason refused service and access to their funds. The libertarian HN crowd has fantastic Orwellian dreams of government intervention while the risks of privatization, THE ACTUAL REASON TO HAVE GOVERNMENTS AND DEMOCRACIES, hits them in the fucking head every day.
>Biden and Trump also both ramble incoherent sentences all the time,

only one of these two does it with 100% consistency, especially if there's no teleprompter, even then he flubs it.

One wrote mostly coherent thoughts in 140 characters, the other has handlers. Guess which one got cancelled?
No, they do what most cancer researchers do, which is wrap the truth around so much bullshit that you can read it however you please. I’m also not an amateur, I spent most of my PhD studying cancer drugs.
How are gas taxes regressive? They seem perfectly flat to me, at least in relation to amount of petrol bought and burned.
How does it work in the front? Does it block ads and those blocked ads get clicked? Many times, it shows me no ads but it also displays 0 ads so nothing is clicked.

Do we have to allow it to display all ads on the page to let it click?

Sorry but it's somewhat confusing for me.
Do you think this principle applies more generally? Tax incentives only work on poor people?
Ugh, why is it always MySQL. Is it just momentum? I genuinely can’t think of a single reason I would ever want to use MySQL. I briefly considered Wordpress might be worth it but changed my mind when I realised that no I don’t actually want to repeatedly perform the stupid sacrifice to the gods of database stability and cross my fingers hoping any change doesn’t destroy my entire database schema because some random plugin I had to upgrade in order to stay secure has added a bug that means it’s table setup is longer idempotent and now it wiped out all its data… whoopsies, thanks Wordpress ecosystem! /sarcasm
Replying to this for visibility. Curious why this submission reached the front page.

I’ve linked prior posts on the same topic, including my own. Does time of day affect ranking that much, or perhaps there’s an algorithm at work? The person who posted this article has >30 submissions over the past week. Maybe people recognizing a username has a big influence too.

By spotless toilet with a robotic bidet, I suppose you mean the washlet that's usually covered in fecal matter. Trust me, you don't wanna accidentally look under there.

Anyway, you're a madman if you're using a public washlet! Also have you ever seen a park toilet here. I shudder just thinking about it. Zero privacy urinals open to the world, or a squat toilet that the last 100 people didn't so much as aim into, but rather aim at. A layer of urine nicely coating the floor is typically your welcome as well.

The only "spotless" toilets I have seen have been in hotels and nice department stores, and sometimes the disabled toilets in some stations.

I love that line!
Techies as FTHBs, because no one else can afford to buy a home. Or they already have one -- like the lawyers and doctors, or they already have several -- like the CEOs.
Leaving what you consider Islamic imperialism aside, I'm curious to hear your thoughts on how dhimmi status compared to how jews were treated in other parts of the world at that time.
> So all the allied bombings in ww2 were pointless?

More bombs were dropped in Vietnam. Pointless was your word but to address the GP, how effective was that militarily? Stationed artillery is not an occupation.
in case you missed it, the play on words was "happy grunts == gruntled"
You quote those 95% as if it was a bad thing?

If anything, the more stuff they give everyone, the better their emissions look relatively.
a) Use standardized error codes, not standardized error messages. Clients are responsible for internationalization, which includes presenting error messages in the user's language. If you document a set of error codes as an enum, the client can present a user-friendly error message in the user's language based on the error code. If there are dynamic parts of the error message, i.e. "404: There is no user with ID 123456 in the system", then the user ID should be extracted into the error response body, so that it can be provided correctly to the user in the user's language.

b) Pagination is the devil. The state of the server can change while the user is paginating, leading to fragile clients. Don't paginate your API. If you think you have a need to paginate, have one API call return a list of IDs, and have a separate API call return a list of resources for a given list of IDs, where the second API call accepts some maximum number of IDs as a query parameter. This ensures consistency from one API call to the next.
I imagine because an inverse T increases locality between left, right, and down. Three fingers can rest in unison. When navigating spreadsheets, documents, and user interfaces, down is the implicit “forward” direction and up is the exception.
In my experience, it happens in two ways. One is where ads are not displayed but AdNauseum tells me so and so ads are clicked. Second is where they are loaded (and hence additional bytes) and clicked as well.

Sometimes, no ads and nothing in Adnauseum as well.
Love the form factor, hate the specs. 6GB of ram is painfully small for an X86 machine, i excuse lower ram levels on arm machines due to the better battery life, but not on x86.

You got me good.
I think some folks confused Dungeons and Dragons with Lovecraftian role playing games that were popular at the same time.

Those were demonic.

That’s not a value statement or judgement. They were literally based around demons taking over the world and killing all goodness. And there were was nothing anyone could do to stop it.

D&D was ultimately based on Lord of the Rings, so there were demons in it. But it wasn’t demonic in the Cthulhu sense.
An objective search engine should return the results that are most relevant to your query without attempting to be the arbiter of "truth". An objective search engine doesn't try to weigh in on disputed events like the existence of systemic election fraud (which has been a regular occurrence in every election since before any one of us was born, despite the exhortations of the DC blob and legacy media outlets). For example, a Special Counsel in Wisconsin recently did a report on 2020 election fraud. If you Google "Wisconsin report on election fraud" the front page is comprised entirely of DC blob legacy media outlet editorials about why the Wisconsin report is debunked without a single link to the report itself. You are within your rights to think that the Wisconsin report is total garbage, but if you go to a search engine and search for "Wisconsin report on election fraud" an objective search engine will have a link to the actual report on the front page, if not as the first result.
1. That was a pleasure to read. The limited width of the text columns was really a refreshing change. The link [3] in the page recommends a text width of 4 inches for easy readability. This is quite a useful thing to know, and hardly followed anywhere on the web.

2. Org mode in Emacs is a game changer for me. The pdf output via Latex is quite good. One thing I really used to hate was typing in beamer presentations by hand. Nowadays, I can make a org mode file super-quick and export via beamer to produce a basic PDF presentation.
Having persisted with user authentication X509 for years, I can in fact tell you the UX got _worse_ over time. We wound up sometimes making key pairs and certificates for end users and emailing them because browser enrollment is so shonky.
What sort of latency can you get on edge devices? Are there cases that processing can be done with 3ms or 10ms latency?
> How are gas taxes regressive?

As with most ad valorem (or fixed per unit) consumption taxes, because consumption as a share of income declines with increasing income, so total and marginal tax share drops with greater income.

Yup, definitely not a felony.

But I stand by my claim that Disney pursues copyright lawsuits harder than the government prosecutes some felonies.
Is Shackleton’s own book on the expedition, South, mentioned in anything more than a footnote? I can’t see that it is.

The book is really good.
Disagree - it is kind of a thing, but truly really depends on what you’re trying to rank for.

EAT is great, but not always the differentiator in weaker SERPSs. Health, finance, loans, etc yes for sure.

Niche and nuanced or low competition areas, not really.

As the end of the day, rise 10% above the top in your industry to rank well.
No. The alternative is to buy used! Plenty of computers are available.
> you will find that the interface will become increasingly muddled.

Will I? For example The Stripe API uses expand parameters and I prefer that approach to "atomic" REST or being forced to use GraphQL. There is a missed standardization opportunity for incremental graph APIs built on REST.
Unlikely at the higher levels, I would just use a Garmin watch and sync up the timings after the race.
That’s the point. Pigs are very smart and emotional and people absolutely should care how they are being held. A lot of industrial farming is basically enormous cruelty and people should care.

You are right that we are past what hunter-gatherer approaches can yield from the ocean. And that we are doing a bad job at protecting the habitat of wild-life.

However, there's vast patches out in the open ocean where almost nothing grows. Mostly because the areas with sunlight (at the top) are not where the minerals are that plants need to grow (mostly the sea floor). See eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_fertilization for an overview.

If you mind putting fertilizer directly into the open ocean, someone more clever than me can probably work out a scheme for enclosing some water in a giant floating bag, and growing your stuff in there. (Or something much better than this.)
This seems needlessly off topic and flamebaity.

Your phrase “discussing sexual content” strikes me as really odd. If you discuss a “traditional” relationship with a 5 year old, you’re already discussing sexual content on the same level & terms that you would use if you were talking about sexual orientation and gender identity.

Requiring general liability insurance is normal in B2B service contracts.

A certificate of insurance naming the client as insured is ordinary paperwork…again for B2B contracts.

So is evidence of worker’s comp insurance or a statement of exemption.

It is the difference between providing a B2B service and selling a product…my understanding is product liability insurance is significantly more involved.

General liability insurance is not terribly expensive and just about any broker can provide it.

General liability insurance is usually a requirement for leasing commercial space as well.

Higher than normal dollar value limits can be covered by rider on existing policies.

Talk to your insurance agent. Good luck.
Everyone played their part, and the doctor's was no doubt larger than many, but someone had to say "this is what we are going to do", and make it happen, when every option was most likely to end with everyone dying. The crew apparently had enormous trust in Shakleton's judgement and executive abilities, and I, in turn, will trust their judgement.

They also needed a lot of luck, but when the odds are that stacked against you, you can't afford to make many mistakes.
Not necessarily. They might just shrug and let it die.
> I think some folks confused Dungeons and Dragons with Lovecraftian role playing games that were popular at the same time.

No, the latter were never anywhere close to as popular; the deliberate propaganda was targeted at D&D because it was fringe enough that people wouldn't know it was lies and popular enough that it would have impact.

> Those were demonic.

No, they weren't (the in-game fiction may have been, but that was often true of D&D which was like an order of magnitude more popular than anything else in the TTRPG market at the time of the Satanic Panic.)

In fact, using the Lovecraft mythos in D&D, for which it was written up, was more popular than the purpose-built games.

> D&D was ultimately based on Lord of the Rings, so there were demons in it. But it wasn’t demonic in the Cthulhu sense.

D&D was pretty distant from LotR, and had the Cthulhu mythos literally started up in one of the major supplements.
You mean Russian revolution type event, I'm certain
I've lived in NE all my life, and I certainly enjoy all the seasons, but the summers are just a bit too long and hot and the winters are just a bit too long and cold. I think the perfect climate would be something like "New England, but spring/fall last as long as summer/winter, and vice versa."
There is definitely a long history of thinking of humans as something separate from animals. We tend to define intelligence and sentience by the traits humans are showing and only slowly it becomes mainstream to realize that animals also can have complex behaviors and communication, not in the human way but still complex.
For anyone confused by this terribly written article, what I think they are trying to say is the following:

Researchers trap ultracold atoms in a gas that is very dilute. The diluteness means the atoms can't react and combine into molecules because molecules have an exact energy, but two colliding atoms have some other energy, you need a third atom to collide at the same time to take away the excess energy, but this rarely happens when a gas is dilute.

Then they use a magnetic field to modify the electron orbitals in the molecule until its energy is exactly that of two colliding atoms (within that the energy-time uncertainty principle at least). This means two atoms can collide and react together without needing a third to take away the excess energy. When the magnetic field is just right they see a huge increase in chemical reactions and they can compare that with their quantum mechanical calculations of molecular energy orbitals.
Sounds like they need useMemo(), useCallback() and an abort pattern, lol.
This is a terrible idea, and is how the whole ‘flag of convenience’ thing came to exist. Desperate countries will sell their lawmaking to the highest bidder (are you could argue that this already happens with taxation laws).

The idea that a company could do something blatantly illegal in my country because it’s legal someplace else is just crazy. Teslas are made in the US, should they follow US road rules when in left hand driving countries?
How about we amend the analogy. You're not allowed to sell unpasteurized milk. Many say unpasteurized milk is better, and healthier. Others say it's dangerous. We (FDA) have collectively decided that despite its health benefits we don't like the risks and have therefore banned it. The can of worms is open. Squiggly worms are all over the place.
The broken part is that it is worth it to use an inefficient rendering method (lots of JS generated by React + an interpreter and GC + a render tree (React VDOM) + an overcomplicated element tree (DOM) + a rendering system) instead of an efficient rendering system (if React-in-Rust existed, it would be native executables manipulating an in memory tree for a renderer, removing at least two layers of complications). And this seems to be simply because the React+JS model works so well for DX compared to the rest that it allows for way faster feature implementation.
Hah, an Onion article and it's based around where my dad grew up/grandparents still live and where I spent many summers. Never thought I'd see Lock Haven (or the real "Jersey Shore", right up the street) here.

Eh, wasn't clear - was looking for specific brothels.
Can someone share how they handle versioning in their API when it comes to data model changes? For example `POST /users` now takes a required field `avatar_url` but it was not part of `v1`.

Since this field is validated in the DB, merely having `v1` `v2` distinction at the API layer is not sufficient. So I was thinking we will have to either 1) disable DB validations and rely on app validations or 2) run two separate systems (e.g., one DB per version) and let people 'upgrade' to the new version (once you upgrade you cannot go back).

Even though people refer to Stripe's API versioning blog, I don't recall any mention of actual data model changes and how it is actually managed
Let the patent die as opposed to acquiring it? Why?

We in South Africa have a single state owned energy producer, Eskom. We consistently have power cuts (load shedding) to prevent grid collapse, it has the highest head count per MWH produced and is in total disarray.

I definitely believe having multiple independent producers makes a huge difference for competition and ensuring energy stability

The EU only considers an electric bicycle an "ebike" if it has a motor that's 250 watts or less. Anything labeled above 250w is considered a motorcycle and requires more fees, taxes, licensing, etc. The "workaround" is that vendors kept shipping the same bikes but edited the spec sheets to say "250w", regardless of the motor's actual power output (often 2x that wattage)

Try it; the body adapts, and you'll save money by not heating as much water. I've been cold-shower-only since December 2020 (not so bad in the Washington (state) summer, but in the winter it's a bit rough, as the water-delivery pipe is not far under the ground-surface). Inspired in part by the My Octopus Teacher guy who started swimming in the ocean off the southern coast of South Africa, and by an older man I remember visiting my classroom when I was in gradeschool, extolling the virtues of cold showers (general health benefits, if I recall correctly). It helps with my mental health, at least, practicing doing things I don't really want to do, and it feels wonderful to be done showering, rather than staying in the hot water because I don't want to face the cold bathroom.

Airburst height varies based on warhead size. Bigger the bomb, the higher the damage-maximizing airburst altitude.

And don't be entirely confident about where a bomb would be detonated. Nearby explosions can push a reentry vehicle off course. (RVs can't maneuver, so it can't adjust course when pushed. Not that there's a lot of time to steer at Mach 23.) Maximum accuracy requires GNSS satellites to be intact and the RV to be able to hear them, neither of which may be true in a full nuclear exchange.

ImGui makes UI programming declarative in structure the exact same way React makes UI programming declarative.

React brings to the table is the general concept of immediate mode UI programming. So does ImGUI. Reaching for React doesn't mean it's the only thing the programmers knew, it means it's a general pattern that arises in UI programming.
