> view it as literally murdering a child

Except they obviously don't, actually, or they wouldn't so regularly permit abortion in the case of rape or incest, nor would fertilization-preventing birth control be so often mislabeled as 'abortifacents'.

Preserving life may be the stated goal, but if you look at the actual actions taken, it's obvious that it's actually about controlling sexuality.

Eve already has APIs if you want to build tools that interface with the game. They literally did announce exporting directly to Excel.

Progressive tax brackets make raises sublinear. If the bracket thresholds raise with inflation, it evens out. I don’t think they have.

Round number example: $150k gross, $100k net and $100k of expenses. Expenses go up to $108k. If your top marginal tax rate is 50%, you need a $16k raise to match it. 10.6% raise (not 16% though).

One group of people see it as literally murdering a child; the other group see banning or restricting it as literally enslaving or murdering women.

You're right about the true nature of the debate: it's really at which point during the pregnancy is the unborn child to be considered a full human whose right to life it is imperative to respect?
There is a reason why.

That type of thing tends to lead or result in a sort of "rolling up of the ladder" as it were. You're looking at a bunch of people who probably got where they are through acts of autodidactism.

Certs don't really matter to anyone except the industry handing them out. It's a parallel market that tends to grapple onto any type of business model, and in some cases (barber/hair stylist/aesthetician) are straight up regulatory power grabs/gatekeeping to deter competition.

The capacity to learn, to communicate, and to a degree the ability to reckon are literally the best indicators. The rest is vocab pickup.

The HR world may like them, but as a hiring manager, I find that I rarely get good signal out of them. Government work is notoriously reliant on them, but I'm not sure there isn't some alternate signal of "willingness to comply with arbitrary bs" that's being selected for there.

My 2 cents.

I gotta write a science fiction story about some astronauts who visited a planet that once had intelligent life, but then it invented memes, and then it didn't have intelligent life anymore.

This blog post reminded me of that because it shows the mimetic mindset unable to understand anything (say Ben Franklin) being anything other than memes. The next stage past free speech activism is that they're going to have to force people to listen to them.

I think the article has some interesting points, like that artillery is the true all-weather weapon, and it's obvious the Russians heavily rely on this.

That said, it understates the C&C problems of the Russian army, and also some claims have really not aged well given what we know of the current war, such as when it guesses that in a NATO-Russia confrontation, NATO's airforce may become grounded due to weather (ok), SAMs (ok), "and the actions of the Russian Air Force" (yeah... I seriously doubt this).
Nice. Please share when you're ready.

I share your concern about grain (scope). Both bundling unrelated stuff as well as the need to preserve (protect) mutually dependent facets. A "just so" example of the later is comprehensive progressive tax reform is easily sabotaged by breaking up the effort.

No idea what you mean. ;)
Whenever an abstract uses the word "noise" it has one of two meanings:

* An unpredictable component of a signal, due to things that are inherently theoretically unpredictable, such as Johnson–Nyquist noise.

* Part of a signal that the writers do not understand or cannot model due to shortcomings of the model. Describing such signals as 'noise' generally indicates a poor or incomplete paper.

I suspect in this case, it's the latter sadly.
Huh. My recs have been worse, but not to the degree you are talking about. Though similar to someone else I feel like recent views are over-impacting suggestions.

From the "disclaimers" section:

> Every compression of a file implies an assumption that the compressed file can be decompressed to reproduce the original. Great efforts in design, coding and testing have been made to ensure that this program works correctly.

> However, the complexity of the algorithms, and, in particular, the presence of various special cases in the code which occur with very low but non-zero probability make it impossible to rule out the possibility of bugs remaining in the program.

That got me thinking: I've always implicitly assumed that authors of lossless compression algorithms write mathematical proofs that D o C = id[1]. However, now that I've started looking, I can't seem to find that even for Deflate. What is the norm?

[1]: C being the compression function, D being the decompression function, and o being function composition.

Indeed. I've been WFH/remote my entire career and have long worked with folks throughout the world. I was considered an outlier for almost all of it.

In the past 12mo this has tectonically shifted. Midsize companies I'm close to who would never have dreamed of "outsourcing" are now instituting US hiring freezes after seeing how well hiring a few developers out of eastern europe went. In many cases the talent is simply better without any cost benefit calculation needed.

Yes, the top-tier rockstar talent (anyone posting on HN is clearly in that club of course) has nothing to worry about. The everyman programmer working on yet another line of business app or CRUD interface is in for an incredibly brutal market over the next decade or two.

Anyone that dismisses this as "outsourcing" is not paying attention. There is little difference working with someone in Toledo Spain vs. Toledo Ohio other than timezone.

Timezone is pretty much the sole remaining argument. However, if you are now 100% remote WFH friendly - why would timezones matter that much? All documentation and process is fully online and asynchronous already so a few hours of overlap a day is more than sufficient for well-run teams on most projects.

My site then asks for your OTP code, which you enter because you think you are talking to the bank site. My site enters the OTP code on the bank site.
great point. So inconvenience is the exact same as execution.
Oh, he gets hooked up on numbers like that all the time. For a long while he thought the biggest number that existed was 54. I'll never know why.

I've got an explanation for 169 though. We're Spanish. 60 ("Sesenta") and 70 ("Setenta") are pronounced very similarly. He can handle it the first time, but when he reaches the first hundred he starts getting tired. There's a point around 169 where the 6 becomes a 7 and the 7 becomes a 6 again, and he loses track of the number he's in.

He'll get there eventually, in the meantime it is fun to watch him try :)
Scarier is the fact that many states have indeed removed that "fifth level of safeties" by moving responsibility for declaring the outcome of elections from officials like the Secretary of State to the legislature.
The concern is that it's toxic to coral, an important part of the food chain in the ocean.

“We're taking decision making from the educated and giving it to the uneducated.”

I can’t find the quote, but someone said something like “democracy is the system of government where the stupid lead society” (implying that the majority of people are stupid, so rule by majority is rule by the stupid). I tend to agree a little, but every other system seems so much more dangerous (including trying to only let “smart people” make decisions).
People hate democracy because they hate losing. Eliminating the dislike button doesn't just kill the metric of how many people hated the content, it also kills the invisible metric of (willing) abstentions.

Now that it's gone, youtube can be much freer in how it serves content, because there's no hint to whether something's terrible or not other than watching it. Google can just serve the content that it likes for its own reasons (maybe the content resembles the content it sees itself focusing on in the future, maybe they're just getting more money for the ads.) Their only limit in suggesting shitty content is whether you'll leave the site, and with personalization all they need is a casino slot machine algo to reliably keep you from doing that.

That is obvious and absolute nonsense. The only thing it does is make the issue worse.

> At least theoretically, having the decision state by state means more people can agree with their local legislation

Not only will you always have people which do not agree with their legislation (even more so when that legislation is in no way representative thanks to voter suppression and gerrymandering), the GOP is already pivoting to trying for federal bans.

And that's ignoring the regressive states also already looking to push things further. Contraceptive bans are already coming up more and more as well.

There are many different kinds of fish with varying textures. Freshness really matters. How its dispatched and processed matters. How its cooked matters.

I would urge you to keep exploring, try everything everywhich way, you will surely find something you can get behind.

If you live near the coast, seek out the docks and look to buy straight from local fishermen. Learn to clean and store it. Its worth the extra effort.
I'm all in for reducing the usage of frontend heavy frameworks, but I also agree that as soon as you start with the "sprinkles" you're opening the pandora's box in the long term if not using state based ui rendering (what React, Vue, etc give you)

Example:

I have an application where a form input expects an URL. As soon as any URL is entered, I need to:

1) Provide feedback on wether that's a valid URL or not, before the user submits the form

2) Show a suggestion for a page title, which is usually the <head> title extracted from that URL. If the user clicks on the suggestion, that should become the value of the next input in the form.

Other than this, this is a pretty basic form. But how do you give a decent experience without JavaScript?

Right, a bit of jQuery would do it in this case... but then more and more similar small tweaks are necessary, and before you realise you're swimming in spaghetti.
P/E ratios have been pretty insane lately and just came back down to earth and I think your right that interest rates have a lot to do with stock price valuation of growth stocks but it’s not just growth stocks taking a beating right now. Why not grab a safe 3% return investment instead of a risky 6% return investment - or if both are 10% in your example I wouldn’t even consider that a value stock because it would be riskier with no reward. Of course a lot of the growth stocks have negative eps so near impossible to use this measure.

> you can add new optional arguments at the tail end

I never claimed they weren't extensible. What you're describing as a feature I'm declaring a bug. Named syntaxes self-describe in a way positional syntaxes don't.

(... he says as his IDE helpfully kicks in to tell him what each of the twelve arguments to this auto-generated Java object constructor are in his source code... ;) ).

> JSON becomes even more verbose to achieve something like this

It doesn't because it has key-value pairs as a top-level construct via the object type. LISP represents those by creating positional local dependencies between positional arguments (which is a fine solution, but at that point they're equivalently verbose and if I go with the JSON approach I can take advantage of the JSON libraries already existing in the client and server of my web applications).

In an alternate universe where JavaScript had been just LISP, your approach would be great, but that ship sailed decades ago.

I'm in late 30's. I hated fish all my life. Then one day in my early 30's I was invited out for sushi with friends. Ever since then I was hooked. Over time, the kinds of sushi I order has evolved from the fancy deep-fried rolls with lots of sauce to the simpler, more-traditional rolls, to the basic sushi (nigiri), to sashimi. Along with that, my preference for sushi restaurant has evolved from low-end all-you-can-eat to higher end places that serve high quality sashimi.

Nowadays, I also enjoy English-style fish and chips as well as fish tacos, as long as they're really crunchy. Sushi will always be my favourite though.

I'm not saying this same sort of path will work for you but I think it's worth a try. I have been really happy with this expansion in my diet range. As a kid I really didn't like most foods. Now I find myself eating a lot of foods that my friends won't touch!
