This is always the trade-off with regulation and whichever approach a regulation takes there are always people, sometimes (usually?) the same people, who will claim the other approach is the only viable option.

If the regulation is written with specificity, e.g “Must use size 12pt Times New Roman font” then the argument is: “But this one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t make sense for my $business. It’s not that I don’t want to comply but as a business owner I need common-sense rules that give me leeway to implement them in a way that makes sense for my company and my customers. Otherwise I risk getting sued and that wouldn’t be fair.”

And if the regulation is written with flexibility, e.g. “Must use a legible font of reasonably appropriate size” then the argument is: “But I just run a $business, how am I supposed to know what font is legible and what size is reasonably appropriate? It’s not that I don’t want to comply but as a business owner I need guidance so I know what it is I’m supposed to do. Otherwise I risk getting sued and that wouldn’t be fair.”

And around and around we go making painstakingly incremental progress because of bad-faith arguments.

What are the odds that school districts are even legally allowed to sign such an NDA?
I generally find that sites like SO, GFG, etc. often play the role of "Reading the Docs as a Service". I prefer using them only after official documentation or specifications fail me. When I want an opinionated answer, I just ping some people I already know or check the personal websites of the developers of the language/tool I'm using. If I have further questions, I check the relevant IRC channel. Sites like SO are a "last resort" for me.

In other words, I'd rather see these at the bottom of the SERP than the top, but I wouldn't want to completely eliminate them.
> the design patterns movement which, I don't know when, must have taken a series of wrong turns

Such is always the case, as soon as anything becomes a "school of thought". From Christianity to patterns and agile, someone will evangelise a set of concepts that s/he strongly believes in, and they will be reinterpreted or exploited by others for their own purposes. For design patterns, it was the whole "Enterprise Java" sector who went overboard and became doctrinaire.
But it's not, we've known for years they are milking the Russian people both legally and illegally. So you're basically feeling sorry for Russian oligarchs?
> no one is buying a house with cash in their bank, not even rich people

That's how I bought my house, and I earn less as a solopreneur than many FAANG employees in this community. My "cash offer" came with the standard proof of funds: a piece of paper the local Wells Fargo branch printed for me on their letterhead that said I have an $X balance as of that date, where $X was greater than the price I was offering for the house. I walked into the same branch and wired that cash to an escrow company a few days before closing.
Yeah. But is that just for editing/committing? Can it remote into a server via SSH, run extensions there? I'm guessing not.
By those estimates, 30% live in California, 30% in Texas, and 30% in New York City. That leaves 10% for the entire rest of the US. Maybe the respondents of this poll just didn't care to think for 5 seconds for each answer, rather than revealing some deep-set misperceptions?
"There are plans for a publicly viewable "beaver cam" to be set up, once the pair have settled into their enclosure."

That is going to be one heck of an SEO challange I feel, though I look forward to seeing how people react to watching two beavers and one pond.
I don't see how the OSI can move past this incident without losing credibility for their position on the meaning of "open-source". If you're trying to convince people that "open-source" genuinely means something different than what they might otherwise have thought, I would think it kind of undermines your position when you get caught twisting the meanings of other words in the process of finding support for your position.
Maybe some of those?

Another option is Russia coerces Ukraine into accepting the 3 things [1] Russia asked. It can happen. It will be interesting what will the West do if this happens.
[1] the three things are:
1. No NATO integration
2. Recognize Crimea as part of Russia
3. Recognize the independence of Donetsk and Lugansk.
Ukraine already conceded first item. In time they may concede the rest. [edit - formatting. Sorry, I am new to HN so I do not know how editing works very well.]
Agreed; it's not really a free market, in that sense. They share information among themselves and have common interests that they try to develop over time. It's all very shady.
Its only even really trendy here on HN. This place is getting less and less useful over time.
> without any consequences

Are you sure there were no consequences?
I'm currently studying and trying to learn the russian language and I think this argument is a bit of a straw man. I don't think people in general would suggest you're evil for learning a language. Obviously you would find such people on Twitter or Reddit but not in the real world I don't believe
Sorry to hear that. I would recommend you build social relationships outside the office even in the best of times, layoffs happen, people leave, companies fold, etc and it's not healthy to depend on work like that.
I think you have this precisely backwards? When humanity was scattered across the globe and unable to do any large scale geo-engineering or deliberately induce fission or fusion, we were largely incapable of dying by our own sword, so the only things that could eliminate the species are things that essentially would wipe out all medium-sized mammalian life on earth. Meteor strikes, absurdly large solar flares, a planetoid crashing into the moon, whatever.

Now we still have basically all of those -- because realistically we're still not at the point where we have anywhere to colonize and survive long term without a living earth, even if we had the tech to try -- but we also have the ways in which we can eliminate ourselves, like causing our own climate crisis (which we are gleefully doing right now) or nuclear annihilation.
Wow, they have that? That’s what I always wanted from Google and they never delivered. Im sure they had reasons. I really don’t think they want to empower their users, they are even hostile to search users and content creators, amp comes to mind and am glad it dissapeared already. Meanwhile I’be been using duckduck but i’ll give kagi a go.

Almost like “the norms” don’t apply when the situation is not normal?

Authoritarians pursuing military conquest and territorial expansion hasn’t been “the norm” for the past few decades. The world is changing with Ukraine and Hong Kong, and soon Taiwan.

Not saying these examples in the article are all models of how we should design things in the future. But the world is changing and norms will change alongside it.

There are no emotions involved here, with the exception of your childish choice to try misconstrue my argument. I consider the MPEG family as objectively better on the technical merit of GPU/VPU hardware decoding being available everywhere - it's fast and it's energy efficient.
There's far less going on in a normal EV drivetrain, which kinda supports the lower maintenance cost.

Fewer fluids required, just your differential and some coolant for the motors really.

Given the specialization of parts, it's far more likely that any performed maintenance is going to be more of a swap for known-good parts and sending them off to the home-office for reconditioning.
I agree it's a great place to start; it is much shorter, and contains stronger (or more obvious anyway) links with mathematics, graph theory.

>Freedom of speech is important, even if it enables a-holes as a side effect

many things are important and all of them have in common that they find their limits within the bounds of the law. Brazil has a different take on freedom of speech than the US. You can argue about the details of this particular case of course and whether it's politized or not, but it isn't authoritarian at all to demand that tat a tech company acts within regulations. A Russian dude running a company out of Dubai by American speech standards is a nice cosmopolitan tale but has little relevance in Brazil.

>Or will you now say they shouldn't have done what they did?

Yes I think they should not have done what they did, or slightly more nuanced, if they thought it was ethical to do what they did, they should have accepted the punishment. Assange's wholesale dump in particular was damaging not just to US national security but also civilians who assisted American forces and whose identity was exposed, but that's another discussion.

I don't think that PageRank or similar algorithms provide any competitive edge at this stage. The real advantage of PageRank in the past is that it was difficult to game, but nowadays, backlinks are all about money and SEO anyway.

Me! I was a Dvorak user for around 6-8 years, but switched to Colemak mod-DH. I found it to be worth it. Colemak mod-DH is more ergonomic for ortholinear keyboards, less "alternate hand" keys, more balanced left/right hand ratio, and overall (for me) more pleasant to use.

This is probably true for me, if we also say that 50% of the queries are orders of magnitude higher quality on Kagi.
Kagi's better than Google for me. Proof is that initially I only had it set up as default search on one device but I've progressively switched them all over out of annoyance with crap google results. I haven't yet had to go to google once to finish a search I started on Kagi.

Worth noting that disability accommodations often benefit everyone, not just disabled people. A classic example is wheelchair accessibility. Those ramps and elevators are also useful to parents pushing a stroller, to someone walking a bicycle, or to someone towing a heavy load on wheels.

In the Web context, accessible websites also work better for search indexing, and for semantic processing, and for manipulating with Javascript (ie: addons). Text annotations for images are a huge help to all sorts of people and software, not just folks who can't see the image.

The main reason to support accessibility work is that it is the right thing to do for disabled people. But if that doesn't motivate you, there are selfish reasons for people without disabilities too.
Shocking. Why even reply. There is no need for this on HN.
SearX and Searxng are the most common options, but instances often get blocked by the engines they use. Users need to switch between instances quite often.

eTools.ch uses commercial APIs so it doesn't get blocked, but it might block you instead (very sensitive bot detection).

Dogpile is one of the older metasearch engines, but I think it only uses Bing- and Google-powered engines.

There are 10 to 15 million beavers in N.America. In comparison, there are 400 beavers in the UK.

They still are if you talk to small business owners. Vast majority of people want to completely ignore accommodation and absolutely hate being told to do the bare minimum for other people, especially when it costs them money or time. Many of them rail against how the "government" or some other boogeyman lawyer is after them and how they're the victim when they ignore the needs, and are then cajoled into meeting legal minimum requirements.

This site especially has a vocal block of libertarian leaning self centered priviliged tech workers who see an affront in doing anything for anyone other than themselves, even if it is in their own best interest.

That is why i am not against people wanting onsite. Life is full of nuance. I dont know what kind of advice to give you, but what i found when i was lonely was that changing the setting helped. I lived in london for more than a decade. Despite it being a crowded city i found it quite lonely. I despised that loneliness and my only friends were coworkers. Up until i got “sent” north of england. Suddenly i had a social life, met folks from outside my work and frankly since that point onwards i decided to ditch london for good. One just has to find the inner strength to let people in. Be it through hobbies or randoms there is always a place for everyone. Maybe even changing countries and cultures for more open people can help.
> The world has become a bit more complicated lately. Private companies are waiting to go public for longer

There's probably a reason for that: most "innovative startups", especially in the US, are like Cruise: they lose up to a billion dollars a year with no consequences at all. Some, lik Cruise, have nothing to show for it in terms of either product or long term plans to become even slightly profitable.

So they wait for longer to see two things happen one after another:

First, hopefully have enough unlimited inverstor money to corner a market or a niche.

Seond, go for an IPO as "the innovative market leader" (aka the one with deeper investor pokets than competition that is doing literaly the same).

---

In case of Cruise, they are losing 200-300 million dollars per quarter. Trying to compete in the same space as Uber (loses up to a billion dollars a year) and Lyft (up to 1.7 billion dollars a year).

Edit: And Waymo, which is a part of Google's "other bets", and those bets are losing billions, too.
a therapist, or a group for group therapy, can help.
My first thought yesterday was that I really cannot trust NPM anymore because if someone sneaks in an anti Russian piece of code somebody else could sneak in code against any other country, or look at the content of files to get an idea of the kind of person running the code and decide what to do. People voting for the other party, thinking something different, etc.

And why not Python, or Java, Ruby, anything. Maybe we'll all end up running Tails.

Edit: if something like that happens, how long before certifications require that no unvetted code is used in projects or no open source at all?

The typical screener in the hiring process spends 8 seconds or less making a decision to discard or advance a resume to the next stage.

In the GP comment I advocated reading Tufte's critique of bulleted lists, but resumes are definitely a place where they significantly increase the odds the initial screeners can spot the things they want to see to advance your resume. A well structured list written using parallel construction (similar grammatical structure from one bullet to the next) is far far faster for a reader to parse. Once you've been told they want to interview you, you're generally free to submit an "updated" resume if you want to, which can be in prose format if you think that's best (but again not all interviewers will look at your resume more than a few seconds before they jump into the zoom session with you).
> I'd bet money that the average American cannot even describe the difference between Protestantism and Catholicism besides something facile like "they have a pope." There aren't even any Protestants sitting on the Supreme Court.

The modern American culture simply descends from Calvinist culture, by no means it is the same. Just like you wouldn’t expect a fish to explain its ancestry to you, you wouldn’t expect an American to do the same.

Some people seem to believe that if you remove a belief in God, a sudden discontinuous cultural gap appears. But there is no reason to assert such thing. An absence of belief in God doesn’t make Americans culturally more similar to Buddhists than to their ancestors, they still inherit similar values and social practices. The American culture experienced an abrupt shift from the British culture due to the founder effect, but from that point it pretty much developed continuously. (Well, of course like all cultures, it experienced outside influence but it wasn’t as impactful.)

> In a historical sense, it's very geographically dependent. Before states got rid of established churches, Virginia, for instance, established the Episcopal church, while Massachusetts established the Congregational church.

There is a book called The Faiths of the Founding Fathers by David L. Holmes, it covers explanation of the sheer influence Calvinism had in the US.

By the way, is it surprising that
(1) Harvard originally had a Calvinist church.
(2) Harvard is located in New England, the land of radical Protestants aka Puritans.
(3) Harvard is the most prestigious university.

My point is simply that American “average people” are in no way simply average people if such thing even exists.
While I agree that the "tourist" excuse was likely bullshit, I suspect someone that recently visited a tourist site would know more about it than someone who lived near it all their life. They just learned about it, how often do you think about it?

And if they had been visiting the spire, which they probably weren't, it's likely they would have gotten information about it in their native language which would use meters.

A wrong specification can give you a wrong or insecure result. That was my point. Formal methods aren't a sliver bullet and your system still needs to be robust to failures.

Because the time spent writing a specification is time wasted if there ends up being no issues with the generated code.
