The thing that is so frustrating is that the so called "European Question" is far from resolved in the UK. Brexit may be done in the EU, but it's going to be something of an original sin in UK politics for decades to come. The current Brexit deal would never have been voted for by the UK population had it been presented during the referendum. I see an alternate past where the UK had effectively become Switzerland or Norway, and potentially a future where it still does (once the current regime is out of the way and wounds are allowed to heal). Brexit would have just been an interesting bit of historical trivia had that come to pass.

I'll never give up on the European Project personally, and it makes me deeply sad to cross the border and not have the Union Citizenship I always cherished. If it had been an option due to my ancestry, I would have gotten an alternative EU passport (as many if not most of my friends have). Brexit has made it infinitely more difficult to bring my fiancee into the country (in a bygone era we would have just Surinder Singh-ed as it's next to impossible for self-employed people to reunite with family in the UK), and has deeply degraded democracy in the UK (see proroguing parliament).
We were planning on separating those, but haven't edited the description yet. There are some unicorns who can do both but not many. Anyway if someone is interested just apply. We're not a huge company and we just use the job reqs to get applications and then decide.

Also I need to edit the part about a BS in CS and add "or demonstrably equivalent skills and experience."

I think we still agree that replications are almost never done in psychology and social science, and when done they are almost never published. This is compared to lab-based fields such as biology.

Also, mandatory pre-registrations provide some evidence that effects are exaggerated in other fields as well, see e.g. [1] for treatments for cardiovascular diseases.

There is a crisis on many fronts, but if you prefer we can call it "professionalization, finally".

If you want to make it an "old vs. young" argument, then the old have collectively contributed to their country far more than the young. So they definitely have a say in their country's policies.

The young from the UK can still apply for a visa, like the young from many other countries not in the EU. They also have a higher chance of getting one, probably.
I don't think that is the case. Not for quality furniture.

When I build furniture there is no MDF or masonite anywhere in the build, no veneer, no staples (or pin nails) ... usually no fasteners at all.

And as had been pointed out in this thread — it is the exact height, width, depth that I want, with the features I want and the wood and finish that I want.

Tell HN: Chinese TikTok is the most privacy invasive app I've ever seen
This is about the Chinese version of Tiktok, Douyin. It's basically the same but exclusive to Mainland China. To summarize:

- It immidiately attempts to access the clipboard contents after opening

- It makes 140 DNS requests to atleast 5 different domains in the first three minutes after closing the app

- it makes an additional 50 DNS requests 5 minutes after closing the app

- it continuously makes tracking requests in the background after being closed

- It requests phone and location permissions immidiately after opening

Some of the domains it contacts after being closed:

- pstatp.com
- zijieapi.com
- bytecdn.cn
- snssdk.com
- amemv.com
- douyincdn.com

This is honestly even crazier than I expected. I've never seen an app contact this many subdomains even while being in the foreground. Instagram contacts around 5 for comparison, and only while running in the foreground.

Not sure whether I'm smarter than you but I have studied EU Law. There are provisions in the EU Treaties that give citizens of member states an "EU citizenship" (see Art. 20 TFEU). Those EU citizenships give EU citizens – among other rights – the right to live and work in any other EU country and vote in local elections [1] Before Brexit British citizens had this EU citizenship as well.

The question that arose after Brexit was, whether British citizens would possibly retain this citizenship, which could have meant that they would retain the rights that come with it as well. There are different arguments why British citizens might have kept this EU citizenship, for example it might be argued that the withdrawal of a _state_ from the Union can not mean that _individuals_ loose their rights or it could be argued that such a loss of rights would be disproportionate.

The CJEU has now interpreted the treaties in such a way that the withdrawal does indeed mean that individuals loose their EU citizenship, arguing that "the authors of the Treaties thus established an inseparable and exclusive link between possession of the nationality of a Member State and not only the acquisition, but also the retention, of the status of citizen of the Union".

So this ruling might have had a big effect if the CJEU decided in a different way. The way they decided now, everything stays the same. If you are in possession of another EU member states citizenship (Slovakia) this will not change anything for you, you will remain an EU citizen.

[1] Technically many of those rights were already in the treaties before the introduction of the EU citizenship, so it is a bit "declaratory" in nature.

Yes, yes it does, it's barely nothing compared to the value of having proper search result. I checked ... I make more than 50 searches per day...

Sure, if you're only hiring new graduates. They're always cheap. And frequently those positions are a revolving door.

I would be more concerned about hiring senior people, and what they heard through their network.
This is all so played out now.

People that haven't used Tailwind come along and say, "this is silly, just use css". The people who have used it say, "you should try it, it's not what you think."

There are a bunch of subtle differences with Tailwind that make it quite a different experience.

Really, it's closer to inline-styles++ than anything else. The style only applies to the element you're styling. This is by design as it means you can change that one style without wondering what else you've broken across your app.

But you get variations that inline styles can't do (and aren't fun to do in css either): `text-green hover:text-red dark:hover:text-white` (interaction states, light/dark mode, responsive etc etc). This makes a huge difference when you're actually building this stuff.

Personally, from a DX point of view, I really like it. I find it faster than anything else when I'm building and it's easy to debug too; no need to fish for the styles, they're inline on the element I'm styling.

The biggest wart is the inability to functionally build up styles. For example, you have a bunch of js and you need to flip between several different colour states (say for an input that has "disabled | errored | valid | pristene"). There's no great way to force one of your classes to "win" because they're all just classes and the way they were added to the page will determine which border colour wins, for example.
The good one :)
fuel synthesis is one of the few trully plausible solutions to the storage problem, but i am not sure it will be cheaper - hydrogen is so much more difficult to handle than petrolium.

I am not up to date with ammonia based processed.
There is only two kinds of people. The ones that don't like Tailwind and the ones that have used it.

I know it is conceptually "wrong" and a bunch of well crafted CSS classes would be more elegant. In the end it works, works really well and makes collaboration dead simple. Commonly used groups of classes can either be aliased by @apply or used in a (react) component.
I used CSS way before Tailwind was a thing and in hindsight I created a lot of utility classes that resembled a weakly-structured, somewhat incomplete version of Tailwind.

It might be a bit verbose, it might be easy to abuse but it works damn well.
On top of that there are some design guardrails built in that really help with the consistency of e.g spacing, colors and fonts.
Easy to achieve good looking results without risking stuff always looking the same like with Bootstrap or Material.

It is a bit like Github Copilot. The only way to "get" it is to try it.
I think the part about that strategy that bugs me is that the workforce doesnt know they are effectively doing a tryout for the company

But at the same time, these are probably the same companies that say "competitive work environment" somewhere on the job application so maybe employees should expect it
How does region locking works with CDN? Does out of region requests counts as a chargable request?

true, c++ renews itself every 3 years which is great, except that its tooling remains the same.

equip c++ with new tooling like what golang and rust have will be a huge boost to this language.
Exactly. So when you write something like this: "instead we trust code that is emotionless, non-judgemental and consistent." what you're really saying is: "we trust a bunch of programmers to write perfect code" when even those programmers cannot understand the code they write: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31692704

I feel for the Remainers, especially those living or working internationally. The result of this lawsuit isn't very surprising at all (turns out leaving the EU means you don't get EU benefits anymore and your country's limitations on voting aren't another country's fault) but sadly what's done is done. The UK didn't want freedom of movement/settlement with the EU and it was clear from the start that the EU wasn't going to grant rights to UK citizens the UK wasn't going to grant to the EU.

The only recourse here would be for UK citizens to apply for European citizenship in a member state of their choice, but that's a long, complicated process, not dissimilar to the process of becoming a recognised UK citizen. It's also incredibly difficult if you're not highly-skilled, already living abroad and/or have access to exchange programs that offer a way in, such as access to education.

For the person in question, this should be easy: France requires that you've lived there for five years, have knowledge of France and speak French, something I'd expect should be quite doable if you've lived there for fifteen years. The UK allows for double citizenship, so I think there's an easy way out for people in such situations without giving up any rights in the home country, much easier than for most people who come to France from outside the EU.
I could easily be more specific but, why? It's done. Try to focus on the positive aspects of being outside the EU.
A tool like this is so needed in this space. Looks great. I see the integration docs, but how does it currently work with visual studio (not code)?
I spent a good part of my 20s trying to be as productive as possible. I always had projects that I was working on and wasn't particularly satisfied with what I was doing for a living. I felt like I always needed to be pushing myself—learn something new, get better at something I know.

I don't regret it at all. I'm in an excellent position today because of how hard I pushed myself. Maybe there's a bit of difference because most of my productive drive was used outside of work.

Burnout is terrible. At the same time, you won't get to where you want to be in life without effort.
I assume that you're objecting to the use of the word "right" as opposed to, say, "privilege"?

The EU itself phrases freedom of movement as a "right"[0].

Arguably, every human should have the right to move to any country they want to, and in an ideal world every human would have that right.

That is obviously not the case now, but the rolling back of the partial progress that had been made, and the consequent creation of a boundary between the UK and the remainder of the EU that hadn't existed previously, is rightly condemned.

Some context on dialects that I read, though I want to emphasize that it doesn't invalidate the OP or dialect research in general, it (hopefully) informs our understanding of it:

"There are no such things as dialects. Or rather, 'a dialect' does not exist as a discrete entity. Attempts to delimit a dialect by topographical, political or administrative boundaries ignore the obvious fact that within any such boundaries there will be variation for some features, while other variants will cross the borders (Laing and Lass 2006: 417). / ... / A dialect atlas is, at least in part, a set of maps showing the distribution of linguistic features in space. Whether modern or historical, it is not made up, however, of static displays of dots or boundary markers on regional maps. Rather, it shows a continuum of overlapping distributions, where 'dialects' are assemblages of regional features that vary from map to map both spatially and temporally. This is because language change, like biological change, occurs differentially in different spatial settings. Change over time involves the vagaries of language use and thus introduces a necessary social dimension. Dialectology therefore operates on three planes: space, time and speech community."

> You can say "x = 1 if expr else 2", but you cannot say "x = 1 if expr". You do a two line

This one liner works:

This can be helpful under certain circumstances (e.g. memoization) [1]. The linked article also points out that it can be useful for rebinding global names in optimized code.

> If nuclear is indeed able to throttle output up and down to match demand - or perhaps we should say, to match spot pricing(!) - why on Earth would we need to fix a minimum price for decades in advance in order to attract investment to build new ones

Lots of reasons, one of which my sibling comment by user akvadrako has touched on. The question of whether it's currently economically viable to do so is a separate discussion. You persist on making this odd logical syllogism - if nuclear could throttle, the market would look like X, the market looks like Y, therefore nuclear can't throttle - and keep ignoring the technical fact of the matter that nuclear plants can in point of fact throttle. I have already linked to robust corroboration of this fact so I don't think there's any more for me to say here.
You take for granted that the Spartans were good at war, and reconcile "Spartans good at war" and "Spartans lost to other city-states" by concluding that there are "a lot of factors". Why not revise your assumption that Spartans were good at war?

That's a very dishonest and childish way to summarise the case. She is a legal long-term resident in an EU nation - France - having lived there for >15 years. However long-term residency status alone does not permit you to vote in local elections, you have to be a full-blown citizen. And given that you cannot vote in UK elections if you've lived abroad for more than fifteen years, she is now in a sort of limbo where she doesn't really have any local representation.

There are many stupid things regarding Brexit (primarily, that it took place at all) but this was a worthwhile thing to try to resolve even if it was a bit of a long shot.
>> You have some advantages, currency control, customs/tariffs controls own decisions for sanitary rules, immigration control, less commitment to war (EU has treaty asking countries to help each other), less spendings, etc... but you still have diplomatic relations which allows you to travel.

>> Basically you became a sovereign country.

Congratulations on being wrong on almost every point. I'm hoping you're not lying on purpose.

>> currency control

The UK has its on currency, the GBP. It had it even during EU times...

>> customs/tariffs controls own decisions for sanitary rules, immigration control

The UK was not a part of Schengen and had border controls while being a EU member. EU member citizens have freedom of movement to other countries, but there are limitations. For example someone committing a crime could be deported and banned...

>> less commitment to war (EU has treaty asking countries to help each other)

This is sort of valid but the UK is more of a warhawk than the EU so in practice this point is moot.

>> less spendings

The UK was a net contributor but due to various EU social policies, the money that was returned from the EU was high impact: education, investment in poor regions, etc. At the end of the day, the rich can fend for themselves, the poor and underprivileged can't, and ironically the EU was mostly helping with that.

>> but you still have diplomatic relations which allows you to travel

They had that before, just an extra seat at many tables as part of the EU.
A one-year moratorium on police use of Rekognition (2020)
Team Xecutor was not merely selling devices to "run homebrew software on your Switch". They specifically marketed it for piracy, and according to the US Dept. of Justice:

> To support this illegal activity, Team Xecuter allegedly helped create and support online libraries of pirated videogames for its customers, and several of the enterprise’s devices came preloaded with numerous pirated videogames.
I think the division was between the educated and non-educated (i.e. early school leavers). As the school leaving age has risen over the past few decades, that happened to track with age. In other words, Brexit voters were what you could diplomatically call "low information voters" (I'd call them "thick racist dipshits" but that's probably why I'm not a politician).

Another factor is that the core Brexit (and Conservative) voters are retired home-owners, who are less directly connected to the productive side of the economy. The media they consume keeps them in that fantasy bubble. Take the Daily Express for example, which has reality-defying headlines that would put the North Korean Ministry of Information to shame.

So other than some clues (rising prices that can be blamed on global conditions, longer queues at airports that can be blamed on staff shortages and so on) they probably believe Brexit is going just fine.
That's quite cool!
It sucks, I'm sorry. "Lying to the masses" is a terrifying problem, and one that deserves study. It's like school shootings in America - it horrific when it happens, and we know it's going to happen again. What can you do the next time the masses get lied to? It shames me to say I don't know, either, and I'm not even sure where to start.
