> This is why contract law exists, doesn't it?

When I worked with non-trivial (>$1m) contracts, I learned that the sooner you start pointing to contract language, the sooner the relationship breaks down. “Working with” partners through shortfalls and giving second chances resulted in much more long term success than sticking to the letter of the contract.

Part of the reason, I think, is simple human relationship-building. And a big part of that is trust. Trust and credit also play into it directly - the vendor knows we didn’t penalize them when they delivered a feature a month late, so they’re willing to surge when we have a requirement pop up that needs fixing quicker than we agreed to.
What is the norm here? Glass stairs are unusual.

I'm not convinced the equivalence you mention - "aggression from both sides" - is really there. The current Taiwanese government's only stated goal is to defend itself; there is no serious surviving political will in Taiwan to attack China.

China could attack Taiwan (particularly Matsu and Kinmen), but an attack on the mainland also appears less likely these days, given the very real chance of humiliation a la Russia in Ukraine.
Yes, through in Germanys political field the far right and far left are in some points very similar in practice especially just before Hitler came into power. At least iff you take a close look. This is why some people say in paractice the political spectrum is more like a circle with a small gap opposite of "center" and the far left/right being each side of the gap. Positions who are fully opposites are clearly right/left but not extremely right left positions, I guess (e.g. non-radical conservatives with non-radical socialists). But then in the end the left/right analogy just falls apart at some point (at least for any non de-facto binary political system).

Anyway this is why Nazis while mainly being far right managed to gather supporters from the far left. And especially in the beginning there where decision done which looked quite socialist, through in retrospective where basically always ware preparations.

I would say saying Nazis where socialists is quite wrong, but that doesn't mean there wasn't a bit of socialism their politics eve if just for pretentious reasons.

Through it also should be noted that the current political spectrum differs quite a bit from back then, neo-nazies normally have very clearly nothing to do with socialist and the far left has not many people which are extreme socialists but also nationalist either as far as I know.
Main thing keeping me off switching to something else.

1Password's extensions getting worse with every update gets me closer each day though.
It’s interesting that you seem to take the OP as trying to optimize productivity.

I assume this because you first point out that French culture is more productive, and then link to the discussion about toxic productivity.

But to me, it sounds like they just prefer to defragment their day regardless of productivity.

I think the whole idea of escaping toxic productivity is to not worry about maximally optimizing it in the first place. I’d bet you’re both on the same page about that.
I've done the physics->neuro leap, so I may be of some use here.

The path is pretty clear, but takes time. Essentially, you need to go back to school and learn biology.

Fortunately, many grad programs in the US are desperate for people that want to be trained as biologists but have relevant skills in other areas like CS. So skip going back to undergrad and just apply to grad programs.

Unfortunately, that means you have to join the Ivory Tower's horrible system for a while. A 'good' tactic is to get into a PhD program where you'll be paid, learn everything, get your MS, and then quit the program after ~3 years with a free MS. Fair warning, the learning will be absolutely horrible and you'll be on the bubble of being kicked out; it really is that much info you're trying to digest in such a short time period. But if you're not worried about scholarships and grades, then that's fine. Your PI will hate you, but then again they hate everyone, so it's a wash.

If you're serious about grad school then read this first: https://acoup.blog/2021/10/01/collections-so-you-want-to-go-...

One thing to be clear about though, jobs in biotech are much less well paid than in CS. You're looking at a 1/3rd to 1/4th salary decrease for pure bio jobs as compared to programmer jobs. Even leveraging your coding skills for biotech companies is going to be tough; you'll be pigeon holed into either a lab role or a coder role. The true blended roles are very rare. So much so as that you'll essentially have to start your own company, or be the heart of any company your join. So, good money there, but huge pressures.
>Gender equality is another one, people to this day suggesting that gender disparities might be due to “natural” preferences of men and women, while those preferences are in flux and different from country to country.

For real? There are plenty of sex differences that exist across cultures (a big one being that men are comparatively more interested in tools, and less interested in other people) that for whatever reason educated people in the West love to deny.

Simplicity / latency / efficiency - DNS typically just fires off one UDP packet (generally one IP packet & ethernet frame too) and then gets one back (hopefully) and it's done. HTTP requires the TCP 3-way connection handshake, then the out & back roundtrip for request/response, then the 4-way teardown handshake. If it's HTTPS you also need the 4-way TLS <= 1.2 handshake and close notification alert. Although QUIC or TLS 1.3 improves that a bit.

Anyway if you're using a 14.4 modem in a rusty bunker at the bottom of the sea you'll notice a substantial improvement :)
Are translucent stairs harder to climb for people with certain disabilities?

If not, I don't see how the inclusions of stairs in general is an issue. If building designers aren't meeting ADA (or similar) requirements then that is a different issue.
I'm not claiming that blockchain is a one use concept. Yes it can be used for other things then banking. I personally feel that NFTs are a great example of that, and that they hold many possibilities for the future.

But the main benefit that blockchain provides is a way to decentralize a network, it's quite inefficient from a performance standpoint. So to use it for anything other than that is a waste (at least currently). Centralized currencies are better than decentralized ones performance wise, and I don't predict that will change anytime in the near future.

To quote Eldenwrong's perfect comment here
"You can use a rock as a spoon but that just makes you retarded"

Hense blockchain currencies (the ones that aren't scams ofc) are decentralized by their nature, since that's the only draw to using that method.

Because of the Pareto distribution this should fail at some point, but with the innumerable amount of new currencies coming into existence, that shouldn't be a problem.
Very interesting, thanks a lot!

In addition to the FDIC backstop mentioned by some of the other responding comments, there's also another significant factor here which is that the U.S. banking system is ultimately backed by the strength of the U.S. military. I think this serves as something like an inductive base case that is more important than it might seem at first glance.

There was a discussion of Kevin Kelly's (the founder of Wired) travels in Asia in the 70's [1]/[2], this part grabbed me:

> I remember taking an overnight bus from India to Kathmandu. That bus was probably not more than $5. I remember that morning, after traveling all night, rolling down the Kathmandu Valley and seeing the Himalayas, and a whole city with zero cars.

Sadly the modern world has infected the whole planet that we can't enjoy places like these any more. Kathmandu is a jungle of concrete buildings and traffic nowadays, as a quick YouTube search shows (is it good or bad that we can just look up on YouTube what a city looks like?)

> Explain Italian fascism, the very original. Their big boss (not named) was a socialist. Nazis were socialists

These are both true in, at most, the same sense that it is true that North Korea is a democratic republic.
I agree that it permeates the discussion , but I think it’s dishonest that it’s the only discussion it permeates (like the kilts you mention there). The Twitter poster made a very obvious point of not mentioning just women but anyone who can wear a skirt.

One that comes to mind is girls who wear skirts.

Disabilities are something I agree should be mentioned, but the GP beef should be with just mentioning clothing, not a subsection of a sex who wears it.

The dates were known in advance - however, the Node.js team expected OpenSSL 3 to be out before the release of Node 16, but it didn't happen - so they had to release with OpenSSL 1.1.1. I think that there was some minor hope of maybe upgrading, but obviously it was too backwards-compatibility breaking to land without a new major.

any time you face a false dichotomy like nature/nurture, choose both. unproductive debates like these (>100 comments so far) stem entirely from a fallacious base. it's tiresome and boring (which technically makes it against hn guidelines). if your impulse is to argue for one or the other position, you haven't thought enough about it and/or haven't had enough life experience to internalize the complexity that the false dichotomy dumbs down and tries to gloss over. it's also a tool of division and diversion at a societal level to keep retreading tired and useless arguments rather than things that matter or are actually productive. any time you face a pat duality like this (most news, politics, etc.), don't jump into the mirage blindly, instead step back and reject the premise entirely.

Some people are way behind on their mortgages (remember we stopped allowing foreclosure for a long time due to COVID). Lots of people got forebearance but are behind again.

Some people have adjustable rate loans, because they needed the lower rate to qualify, and are going to have problems when it adjusts.

That's cute coming from a C-Suite who has already rooked billions out of investors on a business model of "lets be the financial industry but drag our feet on compliance".

Encountered a similar problem back in the 90s when my employer converted an alleyway between two of our buildings into a social space. To make full use of the space, a loft was built but the stairs and the loft were both build with a metal mesh, making the view from below often embarrassing for those above. I don't know who was the architect but I know the design, including stair prototype, was signed off by our president and the head of my department, both of whom were women.

In our case, an opaque layer in a contrasting color was added below, which made for a visually interesting design that proved difficult to keep clean.

Hello straw man. Read the story and the other comments. No one's forcing you to not eat at your desk in France, it's just making companies give the option not to.

> Every time we go there I am reminded how lucky we are in the US. Not just in the economic sense- that’s more superficiality. Natives of many Asian countries are usually very racist by our standards, and homophobic, and you name it. Not in the trivial “disagree on policy” way that the epithets are thrown around in the west. If you spend a lot of time around people you’ll find that they dislike dark skinned people and favor light skinned people. Gay people are socially held up to ridicule; in popular culture they usually play the role of comic relief.

After all, the territories which ended up forming the United States and the first few presidents to rule it democratically once were themselves ruled by a king and certainly had no free speech.

I think it goes without saying that an experience cannot be inherited, a term which exclusively applies to genes.

If we want to rhetorically expand the term "inherited" to mean "a parent may visit upon their children something visited upon themselves", then that weakens the initial premise of genetics mattering and environment (which includes the one the parents present, consciously or unconsciously) does not.

The article isn't clickbaity in the slightest - it's illegal to eat your lunch at your desk in France. That's a fact.

Something illegal is still illegal. Relying on non-enforcement at some companies is absolutely absurd - not only is enforcement of something like this going to vary (so some poor unlucky souls won't have the option at all), but you open yourself up to selective enforcement.

It feel blindingly obvious that the correct thing to do is to remove this ridiculous law, and then, if you want "the minimal amenities to have a civilized lunch" - then legislate that, not some absurd illiberal law that removes a choice that is very desirable for some people.

I say this as someone who sometimes wants to eat lunch at my desk so I can get off earlier, and other times will go out to eat with co-workers and enjoy their company. There's no reason to not give me that choice.

Because what you're describing isn't a "rogue wave," it's just a slightly bigger wave. I'm not a surfer and am just a person who's been swimming in the sea a handful of times and I've seen this phenomenom. The rogue waves being described are incredibly rare to the point that sailors who have sailed 5000 hours have never encountered one and are sometimes talked about as though they are mythical.

When rogue waves were originally discussed the heights discussed were considered to be such that they were a 1 in 10'000 year probability, and there wasn't anyone living who could provide first hand evidence, just records of ships going missing and "rumors" amongst sailors.

i'm using dwl (a wayland fork of dwm) (awesomewm is based on dwm).

https://github.com/djpohly/dwl

it is _just_ dwm for wayland, though, so it's not what most people would call "feature-rich". it's suckless, so "features" are just "patches passed around the community" and "configuration" is "modify config.h and re-build". it can't really be packaged for re-distribution in any useful way.

i use a few other pure-wayland components as well to make it more like a full desktop environment rather than just a window manager.

It’s a similar problem with metal grating typically used on outdoor staircases. There are practical benefits in places where it snows for these designs. Sometimes clothing is simply impractical for certain environments.
