I don't use Visual Studio, so I'm intrigued as to what VS can do in 10 minutes that takes 2+ hours in VSC?
It was all clearly grouped before, but also had visual anchors. The new groups don't satisfy the WCAG contrast ratio guidelines. The new view is definitely 'cleaner', but in this case, that's worse. This isn't an artistic effort, this is a human interface. Did the 40 years of HCI research just turn up the wrong answers before? And the all-along more obvious approach is now the supposedly better approach? Unlikely.

Same. This proposal could be a chance to gradually move away from insane javascript typing. I think the first thing is to make effect manager and separate DOM API from anything else, and introduce sound typing language on pure side. This way is not messing with any underline engine but API. Webassembly text is a whole new language that can be compiled and interact with javascript. Why can't we have to new sound type language, it doesn't have to have many features since DOM API is still there.
Ah, Hindi. That's not strictly about age, though, is it? It's as much about relative social status (though age may be one factor in that). So you'd potentially say आप to a younger person than yourself in order to show proper respect, e.g. if they're an important official or similar figure.
> Help your doctor friend [...] but also make it clear that [...] what you're doing comes with a message that you expect her to pass on

I don't really agree with this part. You can't demand that another adopt your morals, certainly not genuinely by offering conditional help. I avoid people like this, because they think they've figured out what's best for someone else and judge everyone who doesn't think the same.

Just aim for the highest good, and course correct since chances are you don't know what that really is. Others will join or oppose you, that's feedback.
Hey I got an idea, let's ignore a better solution like Closure.spec's runtime type checking.

Its even like "functional", you can turn it on or off at will, it can even do regular expression tests to validate string parameters.

When the energy you need to access these areas are orders of magnitude larger that what we have on earth (except for pinpointed single places such as the LHC) then it does not make sense. You simply cannot make use of them. Let's get back to them when we have the energy.

This is similar to astrophysics where you discover that a sun has planets. And do what. Are you going to go there anytime? Or use it to modify your own planet? You won't, and any dreaming won't change that.
> > the inconsistency between your cache nodes is a consequence of the underlying design of your system

> I disagree with this. First of all, imposing order and synchrony is expensive, slow and unreliable. Even if we do that, cache fill and invalidation will never be externally coordinated; and will collide on the cache host.

This is a weird reply. GP writes "A implied B" and you disagree by arguing that you had to do A. Sure. But it's still what implied B. Quite a fundamental logic flaw, no?
Epilogue: With all due respect, you have an unbelievable career, IBM, Autodesk, Google, Box and now Meta. None of those companies would give me five minutes of their time because I am self-taught, yet here we are :)

Correlation does not imply causation. I’m also self taught and some of those companies have given me a lot more than 5 minutes of their time.

Here’s some unsolicited feedback - I interpreted your comment above as implying you know more than $peer, and it comes off a little snarky with the emoji face. That approach doesn’t demonstrate professionalism to me. On the other end, $peer focuses on the technical challenge. Most of the gig boils down to communicating ideas.
Not a single person I've spoken to (that doesn't want to live in a city) has cited safety as a concern. That's probably because we've all worked in a city and know there are good areas and bad.
Apple blesses a converged Mac/iOS approach, which in practice means you basically throw away a lot of what made the Mac excellent.

Not that Apple is even following their own guidelines...

https://mjtsai.com/blog/2022/06/08/system-settings/

The incoherent design, weirdly bipolar automation efforts, letting the command line rot, and a new-feature focus on lock-in are making the platform increasingly something I just don't care about anymore.

Not to mention every time I get another Buy Apple Music! nudge or deal with their bratty "not now" dismissal of the fucking credit card offer makes me actively dislike Apple a bit more.

I'm clearly not the customer Apple wants, and all good things come to an end. It just saddens me a bit - I've been using Macs for over 30 years now. Watching them become more annoying and arrogant than IBM sucks.

I feel it. My only point was that "the Constitution applies and border police are acting illegally" and "the Constitution literally has no force in these situations" are both simultaneously true.

Honestly illegal border crossers are the only ones who maintain their constitutional rights, because once they've crossed it is impossible to prove it unless someone actually saw them do it. I've read border patrol officers comment that if a US citizen is found at the border there's basically not much they can do unless someone caught them crossing in the act.

I visited a place one where the schtick was to get new employees to make a paint print of their hand on the wall like a primary school kids. I thought, this place infantilises its employees, I will never work here.

This comes about because companies see 'culture' as a means of manipulating their employees. It works because long-childhood tokens are a status symbol - poor people need to grow up quickly and demonstrate that they are compliant by wearing suits or other uniforms, middle class show that they can afford long education by retaining the signifiers of childhood. But no-one does this consciously, so people are susceptable to being 'rewarded' by these cheap signifiers instead of real value

On top of that, scooters left on sidewalks are ugly and invade public space.

I’m fine with people using scooters but they should have to own and take care of them, and if scooter sharing companies are operating they should be required to ensure they are left in proper places or perhaps in designated docks. They shouldn’t be effectively stealing public land for their for-profit service.

Odd that you'd throw that in there - care to explain how the linked comment is racist?
Fuel is taxed explicitly to fund roads.

Property tax likewise to pay for roads and how they're used.

Electricity taxes don't go to fund roads or sidewalks, sales tax is likewise not for that.
To make matters worse, due to the influence of the other Sinitic languages (Wu, Yue, Min, etc.), Mandarin actually has regional variations of a lot of these words as well!
Is there an alternative to moving goods other than super tankers (or planes?)

There's plenty of alternatives to moving people than the car, such as walking, cycling and a variety of forms of public transit, all of which are more efficient and less CO2 intensive than the car.

The reason for the legislative focus on cars is because amongst all the various things we need to do to lower CO2 emissions, it is one of the most relatively easiest shifts to make.

The additional upside as well is that at a local city level, cars are an enormous percentage of CO2 emissions, and on top of the whole limiting climate change thing, shifting to electric is going to have real every day positive impacts in air quality.

Yes. This site. Make a reasonable inference.

>"'Partisan'? Some several people's opinions that don't align with yours?"

This assumes I only sense partisanship when people disagree with me, but there are plenty discussions here on HN bringing up conservatives, progressives, national politics, the recall of the San Francisco DA, etc.. There's a good amount of back-and-forth between those who disagree and I'm not attributing a partisan atmosphere to my opinions being challenged. And before you ask, no, I will not provide you with a list of HN threads with partisan discussions going on in them.

>"'[T]hings have been feeling[...] What things?"

Are you unfamiliar with this expression/phrasing? In this case it is not meant to convey specific examples, it refers to sentiment and atmosphere - a state of mind.

EU countries are split on mail-in ballots. UK, Germany, Spain, Poland, Iceland, and Switzerland where ~90% vote by mail. It's not because of fraud concerns, it's because all EU countries have a national holiday or weekend day for elections. The U.S. does it on a Tuesday which acts as voter suppression. Colorado, similar to Switzerland, mails ballots to every registered voter, and reports very low concerns of election fraud and even lower cases of voter fraud.

Former Better.com exec alleges company misled investors ahead of SPAC
I got started fixing Commodore 64s for a friend who had a repair contract with a local school system. My first computer was a 286 machine, 8MHz, no wait states (as fast as a normal 10 Mhz machine!) with 40 megabytes of hard drive, and a super hi resolution monitor (640x480!)

I reprogrammed the CRT controller chip to add an extra display line. On that line I displayed caps/scroll lock status, and the time, etc.

Borland Sidekick was a Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR) program that did a ton of cool things, including a text editing. That came in quite handy in the days of MS-DOS.

I was introduced to Turbo Pascal (3.0) as a means of controlling an EPROM burner. I didn't like it first, but grew to love it in short order. Pascal is still my favorite programming language.

Multilink allowed you to use a single machine for multiple users. We'd have a Wyse terminal hooked up to a serial port supporting a second user. (Back when computers were $2000+, it made sense)

The best part was shareware... you could get a disk full of programs to try out for $3. There were quite a few good ones in the mix. Now we're so terrified of malware we don't even want to visit the wrong web site.
50 Megabytes? That's tiny I would hope in 2022 that any text editor can handle a 50 megabyte file.

I routinely (like every day) open 500 megabyte files in SublimeText, and just checked to make sure that it can handle 1.5 Gigabyte files without much difficulty (it can).

Admittedly - once we get into the 5+ Gigabyte file size, startup times become annoying enough that I usually switch over to vim.

So, thank you for bringing this up as an important requirement for modern text editors - they should be able to open up multi-gigabyte text files without even breathing hard.
Children Are a Necessity, Marriage, Luxury: The Psychology of Poor Single Moms
not a specialist but I have worked alongside specialists in public policy and public health, at scale. I think the first step is that you need to classify the parts of the population a few ways.. income, language group, age, relationships in close contact / living quarters; next layer is something about education, vocation, and remove or focus on real health outliers.. special needs, dangerous jobs, any circumstantial effects in their area that affect many people.

Any real studies in health sciences rely on statistics, so the treatment of the stats has to be defensible. That specifically is where they lose me, but that is how it is done.

I do not subscribe to the partisan politics world-view, in many, many ways.. so I was motivated to disparage the idea that this study is adequate to learn by the reader. I also am not going to take the time to really read this one. hth

I miss some things in English too:

- Not being able to specify in one word if a friend is a male friend or female friend like amigo/amiga in Spanish.

- The words for friend, boyfriend and girlfriend are too similar. While in spanish amigo/novio, amiga/novia are completely different.

- Not having one word descriptors for someone's ethnicity, as those have to be used very carefully or can't be used in English ag all. Like "Avisale el chelito que la zarca lo está esperando para ir a la tienda del chino" (common in my dialect of Spanish). "Tell the white-person that the light-eyed-person is waiting for him to go to the store owned by the asian-person" (very unnatural in English).
I don't see that. Yes I did say I had to do A. Then I said that it doesn't imply B. Because even if the underlying system is strongly ordered, we can't order external events. Did I miss something?
> After going on a number of long road trips in different electric vehicles, the bigger thing to beat is Tesla supercharger network. Electrify America locations just aren't as well spaced out and about every other charging station seems to have a broken charger. While it wasn't a problem for me, they also don't have enough chargers at each station.

I've only driven Teslas in CA where super chargers are rather common, my favorite being the one next the SpaceX factory in Hawthorne.

And I keep telling people the same thing you said, this is why I think Tesla is more an energy company that makes cars to use it's network rather than the other way around.

I'm glad they have competition, as EV was always going to be more than a one horse race if it were to succeed and while Nissan had 1st mover advantage they have fallen way behind with the Leaf project: luckily a post Ghosn era will see most of their lineup going EV and they're spending $18 Billion to offer more EV models in the next 5 years [0].

And Buick is re-branding as an EV only company [1], I'm actually interested in what they could deliver if they go for moonshots as classic Buicks were actually quite stunning in the 30-70s eras. They never got the same recognition as a Cadillac but they were on par style wise in my opinion. They could just emulate Lexus styles (that Wildcat screams of LC) with Electric motors and it would probably be a solid platform if they market themselves better and takes hints at why it works in China. Maybe if they stick with wagons as the Roadmaster still has a lot of cache and no one has offered a EV wagon yet?

The issue, of course, is where will they charge?

Thanks for the clarification. However, in that case, won't the querying of all the cache copies/replicas turn out to be the bottleneck at high volumes? Because you are going to have to check all the existing copies/replicas somewhere, right?
Aside from this platform, which I've never heard about until now, I'm wondering what others are using in the workflow orchestration space?

I'd assume Airflow is the most prevalent, but there's also Argo getting quite a bit of momentum lately.
You will also encounter issues here.

Transistor is a sensor. It detects voltage on the base pin. Transistor density and so sensor density on a modern CPU is really high. In fact modern CPU transistor density is 3 orders of magnitude higher than nerve density even on your retina.

It's at the order of ~100,000 rods/mm^2 for retina and ~100,000,000 transistors/mm^2 for modern CPU.
I find the presence of the "auteur" is valuable because it's a signal to people.

When there's a single leader who's highly motivated to do critically acclaimed work, it signals to talent that this is a project aimed at critically acclaimed work.

Now, said auteur also makes great margin calls and leadership decisions.

But keep in mind it's not just "great man syndrome."
