Sure, but what you're saying can be be interpreted both charitably and not. The charitable interpretation is for scenarios like focus wrap-around in modals. It's possible to navigate by tabbing over focusable elements hidden behind the modal until you're in the modal again and it's sufficiently difficult to make focus work 100% correctly without extensive testing.

But if you're trying to argue in court that your submit button can't be activated without a mouse because doing so is too hard, that's likely not going to pass muster, since virtually every other website on earth can easily figure out how to do it.
Because everything else sucks way worse, obviously. I mean,...have you actually tried using Bing?

I have a managed Windows machine I used at work that I wouldn't normally have Administrator access to but I do because I am a software dev.
Once again posting these old docs for the benefit of anyone wanting to understand where these oligarchs come from and what their relationship is to Putin:

Also highly recommended: Paul Klebnikov's Godfather of the Kremlin: Boris Berezovsky and the Looting of Russia. Berezovsky, for a while London's best-known oligarchic resident, this article doesn't even bother to mention. Berezovsky, who likely had Klebnikov murdered in 2004 for exposing him.
It won't get easier to talk about by waiting. Waiting just begs the question "why did you wait to tell us"

Impostor syndrome strikes again! I think this is the reason why I end up committing what I’d consider n00b mistakes relative to my age and experience.
> I just don't see this taking off until there's hardware decoding available

Hardware decoding is available. And dav1d is a very fast software decoder. I don't have AV1 hardware and yet I play back AV1 on YouTube just fine via dav1d.

It isn't.

I don’t think this is the case. Gp talks from a perspective of authority. I would be very cautious about talking about risk from their perspective.
All of this is right, except for this part:

> We are well-paid professionals being asked to make our tools usable by the entire public

“Asked” is wrong here. I can “ask” someone to do something. The government can “force” someone to do something, ultimately at gunpoint. That’s what I don’t like about this.
I think this is actually a great example on the potential pit-falls of going with this approach. This isn't really accessible and shows how even a large company with a lot of resources can miss the mark.

For example, if I try to have VoiceOver (control + option + w) read the word I am currently on in Google Docs, it doesn't work, Using VoiceOver's search (control + option + f in Safari) doesn't work, basically nothing actually seems to work from what I can tell. A visual user can easily scan a document and find a heading, where a VoiceOver user might search to jump to it instead.

While they do provide some keyboard shortcuts to help navigate a document easier, this is not a valid substitute for supporting the screenreader the way users know how to use / are proficient with.

While a user of a screenreader could technically use it, it isn't usable (or accessible) in any real sense of the word. If you were to translate this to a visual user experience, imagine you could only see one letter at a time and can go forwards/backwards one character.

It seems like they are using an `aria-live` region to speak where you are rather than having a separate DOM representation of the content and syncing the state (which can be an engineering effort most companies / libraries cannot afford invest enough to get completely right).

Disclaimer: I am not a primarily a screenreader user, though I do have some experience using them.

Disclaimer: I used to work at Google, though not on Docs.
I would gladly pay for a really good search engine if anyone is listening.
In the last 2 years condo prices in the Seattle area have stayed flat while everyone is desperate to buy townhomes and single families that are becoming out of reach for most. That makes me wonder if building up will actually fix the issue.
It depends on what sort of nuclear war.

If its N Korea or Iran detonating a few high over the US to knock out the grid with EMP, then it will be mostly about trying to avoid/outlast all the people who don't have a few months of food and water.

If it's the "big one", then that's another thing.

The kind you see in the movies with thousands of missiles in the air all at once is probably not how it would go down. It would be volleys back and forth for months on end. Modern nukes are very powerful. You can't send too many to the same area at the same time. Probably not survivable.

The US has a very old nuclear missile fleet, but Russia has a brand new one, including the RS-28, which can haul 50 megatons of mirved warheads. That's probably enough to obliterate France or Texas in one go.

Firefox’s site isolation uses one process per tab until you have more than four tabs open for the same site; then Firefox makes the tabs for that site share the four processes. So if you open four youtube.com tabs, you will have four youtube.com processes. If you then open two more youtube.com tabs, you will still have four youtube.com processes, but two of the processes are managing two tabs each and the other two processes are still managing one tab each. This design is to reduce memory usage. I think Chrome uses a separate process for each tab.
Correct. More specifically, the HTML standard itself has quite a bit of accessibility friendliness baked in, and the remainder has been patched over by screen readers and other tools successfully due to sheer age of the standard.

When you make the site self-modifying with JavaScript, you as the developer are taking on the responsibility of continuing that chain of wise design decisions. And much like the thought that you probably shouldn't roll your own crypto unless you're a cryptography expert, maybe bending the user experience too far is something you shouldn't do unless you have some accessibility training.

Source? But it's definitely possible nowadays when RAM is cheap and modern Google makes the Internet feel incredibly smaller than it was 20 years ago.

At the time you would get tons of results from a myriad of small blogs, forums, niche websites. Nowadays it's Pinterest, blogspam and more SEO optimised algorithmic crap. If you're lucky you get a forum result that might actually be relevant.

Given the joke that if you can't Google it it doesn't exist, it follows that the Internet has considerably shrunk in the past two decades.
Very true and also the reason for the exploding costs of the education system people complain about. In countries where universities run on public budgets you won't see exploding administrations and degree inflation because the state has a direct incentive to keep costs low rather than handing out loans that go to private institutions.

Was honestly surprised when I saw that the rate of university graduation in the US is twice as high as it is here in Germany.
Yep and this is also a problem due to "birth tourism." Particularly, when you consider it's mostly rich Chinese and Russians who are capitalizing on it to obtain US citizenship for their children.

Doesn't take a genius to see the potential long-term negative implications this creates. It's clearly not going to liberalize China or Chinese diaspora temporarily living abroad at large, let's not make that catastrophic error again. It was just a couple days ago that a Chinese student in the US stabbed a Tiananmen activist Chinese defector to death, in public. Thanks Henry Kissinger.

It's kind of time to take this stuff seriously before it catches us by surprise more than it already has.
Rhetoric aside completely, I can say with all honesty Google doesn't serve me as well as it did in 2014.

"google search sucks" message might lack finesse, but I think it conveys something real--like, a search engine completely optimized to the user using state-of-the-art algorithms, etc. does not exist, perhaps because Google hangs out around "good enough" and would kill anything on the way up.
I've read that number many places and more importantly heard it from many folks who do front line resume screening. If you've ever had a stack of 50 new resumes hitting your inbox every day and the task of finding the 3-5 people people to interview for the role among the hundreds that are submitted, you'll realize what a radically different experience that is from being one of the folks tasked with interviewing the 3-5 who made it through that sieve (and yes the HR software for reading through large numbers of resumes is surprisingly horrible)

But do those forums run Google ads?
Probably because
a. The source is a notorious tabloid site
and
b. The contents of the story itself hardly qualify as intellectually stimulating

Maybe if there was a more complete, objective breakdown of what happened (or a technical explaination) people would be willing to discuss it at length. Nobody here owes you upvotes though, certainly not for the sort of content that doesn't really hit the frontpage in the first place anyways. Maybe Reddit would be a better place to drop this one?
In the UK in general.

e.g. there are funds that allow you to own fractional shares of rental properties spread across the entire country -- REITs.

Commercial properties, obviously, but also residential properties.
There's no income tax.

There's less appeal if you're an American since the USG taxes you anywhere in the world, but if you're Canadian there's a lot of appeal to live there for a few years as a resident.

The people I've known in this category do something like this:

- Canadian Citizen

- Move to Dubai

- Trade crypto, make eight digit returns, liquidate funds

- Move back to Canada eventually without having had to pay tax on those funds

You can't do this as a US citizen without renouncing citizenship, but you can do this for most countries in the world (at least that's what people doing this have told me, I haven't looked into it that deeply myself).
It costs me $5400 per year more to work in the office than working from home and that is excluding the 35-40 hours a month in commute time.
Zum is an electric schoolbus provider mentioned in the article. Their headquarters in near SF, in Redwood City. They're hiring engineers:

https://www.ridezum.com/corporate-hq-hiring.html

It looks like they're modernizing the whole student transportation process: apps for parents/drivers/school admins, dynamic routing, monitoring, and metrics. They claim 20% reduction in student commute times. That's a big quality of life improvement.

I think the job would be quite interesting: geo, real-time, mobile, web, embedded, physical infrastructure, optimization, diverse user base, and many human factors. They're well-funded so probably pay decently.

The office photos show a large open plan, which could be an acoustic hellscape, like Google SF Spear St. If the space has enough sound-absorbing panels and dividers and quiet floors then it could be ok. Can any of you comment on the work environment?
I understand Russian and have heard interviews from those who evacuated Mariupol. Many are saying Azov isn't letting them leave. A lot of those who evacuated were saved by Russian soldiers under fire from Ukraine. Unfortunately most of this content isn't available to English speaking audiences. I noticed the AP press article above doesn't even mention Azov Battalion which is defending the city. For example, they said the roads are full of mines, but didn't say who placed the mines. How do you have a report about a war in a city without mentioning the defending army? Only mention of a Ukrainian soldier was when one pleaded to people to stop looting. The article also shows a tank blasting an apartment building. I watched another video that showed Russian/Chechen troops fighting Ukrainian soldiers in the top floor of an apartment building in Mariupol. People who lived there were in the basement. In other words, the defending army takes positions on the top floor of these buildings with people huddled in the basement.

This is a complete disaster and we need to give voices to the people who live there. This is a horrendous situation for the people in Mariupol and the people there deserve good reporting. It's clear both sides have blood on their hands and Urban warfare is the worst kind. It should never have led to this.

EDIT: Translated Example of an interview from someone evacuated: https://twitter.com/wyattreed13/status/1504743305967554565?s...

EDIT2: I want to be very clear I am not defending Russia. I do not support this war. I am criticizing the poor reporting and that the truth of what is happening is complex.
"Free speech" activists on the right are really concerned about restricting freedom of association. They don't want to restrict your freedom not to associate with people based on things those people can't change about themselves that are harmless to others, like skin color or sexual preference, but they do want to restrict your freedom not to associate with people based on what those people can change about themselves that are harmful to others, like racism or homophobia.
Some things from that indexer you linked are problematic, but others certainly aren't. As I said, I don't question that the right does bad things with their power. I do question your denial that the left does. It seems odd to me that so many right and left folks don't question their own camps, or worse, have gotten to the point where they play no true scotsman with bad behavior:

> I don't know what to tell you to get you to see that substituting some rioting anarchist self-proclaimed leftists who have no representation in our politics for the liberals I referred to is insulting to my intelligence.

I guess one primary differentiator in our views is that you view the actions of representatives as more important than the actions and hegemony of constituents. I do not.
I often have several "topics" going on in the same branch, for which there are existing (unpublished) commits.

When I make some small change, it usually belongs to one of these topics. If it's the topmost commit, of course it can be combined into it with "git commit --amend --patch".

If the small change for one of the commits behind that one, then I make fixup commits with "git commit --fixup <hash>" or "git commit --fixup HEAD^^^" (as many carets as needed to refer to the commit I want).

If the little fix requires an addition to the commit message, then --squash instead of fixup.

These little fixup/squash commits can then be squashed into their target commits using "git rebase -i --autosquash".

That may be how some of your coworkers have clean histories.

In some environments, a change made up of numerous little commits like "fix typo" wouldn't pass peer review ; you're supposed to know ho to squash things together (but not too much so that topics get inappropriately combined).

Some shops have a policy that every commit has to build and possibly also pass the test cases. So you can't have an "oops, add missing semicolon" commit; its parent wouldn't build.

Commits should be like Stack Overflow answers: "is this useful to future visitors of this git history?"
Wow, save $50 million from this?
It was a f*king theater, and a known shelter.

And no, they would not. IIRC disguising military locations as civilian, or using civilians as human shields is itself a war crime. The Ukranians are not doing that.

What's your excuse for the maternity hospital? Firing on civilians in a prearranged exit route/cease-fire? Cluster-bombing civilian areas? I could go on for pages and pages, and the War Crimes case is already starting, and being substantiated up to the level that the POTUS and SecState are specifically speaking of Putin as a "War Criminal".

Thanks for demonstrating my point about the how otherwise intelligent people can still have insane levels of self-absorbed myopia and inability to understand moral issues, and lack of perspective.

You need a serious rethink. Yikes
Man, I'm really surprised anyone here actually seems to like JavaScript

I use so few websites that legitimately need it.. looking at my open tabs right now, I have Gmail, Discord, and Coderpad that legitimately implemented interactive web applications with JavaScript, and then every other one of the 20 tabs is just a static website that uses JavaScript as a weapon to track me and interfere with me in various ways
I was so happy when I discovered this. As a UNIX and Linux user for my entire career I was so surprised that something built into every Cisco, Juniper, Arista etc etc network device wasn't built into many cli tools on Linux.

I know I can create aliases and whatnot, but I'm a consultant, when I was still hands on with the tools I'd log into 30+ different customer's environments every year. Many were isolated from the Internet and whilst I did carry my dotfiles around on a USB (Along with some binaries of useful tools that are so often lacking on enterprise systems) I couldn't always use them.

So much missing information.

Who's interests do corporations represent?

That doesn't contradict this article.

They're talking about a bottom-up model of sales rather than top-down.

Selling to the end users of a platform rather than selling to the CIO/CTO.

This is particularly important now in the age where lots of SWEs won't take a job if the company is using teams/outlook and not slack.
There is something weird going on with the language where apologists for the aggressor who is imposing the war and without whose continued active action there would be no war are being described as “war critics”; it's kind of like defenders of conservative gender stereotypes being described as “gender critical”.
Yep, and the horrifically small and close together click targets. Due to its simplicity however, HN is already heads and shoulders above so much of the modern web in its a11y-friendliness.
You missed his point. The original comment said that territorial wasn't exactly the norm and that it's pretty unique situation. The person you replied to then said that they can recall quite a few invasions, disoroving that assertion. Nobody is justifying anything, there is no need to be so defensive about it.
I'm still really indifferent but you could almost say I'm converted in the opposite direction. I realized how awful my co-workers are at communication, especially asynchronous communication and it makes me want to pull my hair out.
I switched to voip.ms as part of divesting myself of Google services. The webui isn't very slick but it's dirt cheap, has more features than I'll ever use, and has been reliable aside from briefly when they were being ddosed. It's also easy to add new numbers, if I decide I want a number local to somewhere else too.

The one issue I've had with it is that it doesn't accept large images (where large starts somewhere smaller than many modern phone pictures) over mms. I never really use sms/mms so I don't much care but it could be a potential problem.
Forcing everyone to be in the office because you are having a hard time having a social experience is definitely a personal problem.

I would recommend social clubs.

Or, opt for a company that’s on-site. I’ve always been pro-choice in this regard. The problem is that companies have to be all or nothing, you can’t 50/50 remote work between people.

Some kind of hybrid is also good. Come in for a few hours or a couple days a week. All the benefits of both approaches.
Your second seems to validate my claim.

> Is there a fine line between hyping the evidence and lying about it? It’s too fuzzy for the Pinocchio Test, as it also falls in the realm of opinion.
Yeah, no. This is the weaponization of the cloud. Open-source and closed-source are irrelevant here. I get that it's trendy to think of open-source as the community, the hosting platform, and then, as a distant third, almost an afterthought, the code itself, but that's wrong. Open-source is the code, and the code transcends any given hosting platform or community blacklist.
The Conservative Party have been in power in the UK since 2010. It wouldn't be surprising if those aiming to buy influence focussed their donations on them.

In general it feels like you're trying to extrapolate American politics onto British politics. For example, "liberal" in the UK (and I think most of the world) doesn't mean what it has come to mean in the USA. And the Conservative party at the moment tends to raise more of its money from large donations from wealthy individuals than the main opposition party in the UK [0].

Definitely something to consider. I wonder if there's some value to a secondary/supplemental seasonal battery that can be added for part of the year to handle the extra load.

Would come down to whether the installation/removal (to lower the "dry" weight for the warm seasons) would be worth the energy savings of not hauling around the supplemental battery weight.

Other options might be to use some kind of thermal mass for heating, perhaps a large heated mass or fluid tank? Not sure if there's any benefit there though beyond being able to swap out the fluid tank between runs faster than charging a battery.
Yes. There are no restrictions for US companies to hire you (often as a contractor, or as an employee vie PEO providers like Deel/Remote/Oyster/Papaya etc). You do not need a visa - visas are relevant only when working inside the US.
