They had 60 votes to get Obamacare enacted, which was a historic achievement. Obviously your coalition won’t agree on everything and you have to keep the marginal votes on board. That’s just how politics works. My point is that there is a more potent democratic coalition out there even within the framework of the Senate system. To the contrary, the Senate system long benefited Democrats because it favors working class rural areas over moneyed industries (finance, tech, etc.) concentrated on the coasts.
And I'd agree, except that this behavior is an advertised feature of the of the system, iow, if you open multiple fullscreen videos, you should expect to see what is seen as opposed to Safari crashing or the system crashing.
Forums and chat rooms related to technologies you have experience with, want to learn. Slack and Discord have quite a few.

Some like to complain about projects using Slack or Discord because they’re not open and can’t be archived publicly but really who is pulling value from old IRC logs today? Nostalgic lizard brain is all that is.
Partnered with the wrong person and lost money/time.
Have you attended virtual ones which "work" in that regard? I've been to a few and to be honest discussion dies out nearly completely.
WD says that the track width on their newest drives is about 50nm. The servo has to position the head with an accuracy considerably smaller than that, especially for writes - for reads you can just try again if you're off center. (which is why some drives have different seek time numbers for read and write - they don't need as much "settling time" for reads) For comparison, green light has a wavelength of about 550nm.
I have a project where this is a legitimate use case. Indeed, Safari was the only browser where it was possible to implement without trickeries… eventually the team managed to get a version for Firefox snd chromiums as well (on desktop too).
That's assuming that the issuer, mediator, and destination are all distinct entities who don't communicate with each other except as described in the protocol. If they are the same entity, or they collaborate, all those nice privacy guarantees disappear. And the destination—not the user—decides which issuers & mediators they accept.
There are absolutely converging interests, there. For the natural gas industry, wind power proponents are the perfect allies.
This is probably a good case to remind people: You ("engineers who want to network") are a small fraction of the LinkedIn userbase. You cannot begin to accurately grok how the vast majority of users use and feel about LinkedIn. Your opinions are valid (and I share them fully). But be careful not to assume that the way _you_ interact with LinkedIn is universally shared.
You generally don't handle that case! :) — Instead you let the player move within a rectangular area onscreen, and decide on which way you are going to scroll the screen in advance (or rather: after the fact, depending on how one looks at things), based upon where the player is inside that rectangle. So the screen catches up with where the player is moving/pushing.

Eight-way scrolling like this was always a massive pain on the C64 (and other systems that used buffered scrolling with no h/w, e.g. Atari ST), but that way (a box the player moved around inside) was the only realistic way of handling it if you had to do a bunch of work in advance before doing the actual scrolling. Turns out that having the player in a loose rectangle is also easier on the eye too, which is perhaps why it's also used on systems that don't suffer the same h/w restrictions.

Yeah, the colour RAM update was a lot of bytes to move. But dedicating a big chunk of code to it meant one could be a little freer to use slightly slower techniques elsewhere in the update cycle. Side note: the C64 actually only had 39 visible char across the screen when in 'scrolling' mode, because the borders where shrunk-in slightly (and slightly more than one expects). So one less char to worry about per line. That saved a tiny amount of code / memory / execution-time for the colour splat (and the scrolling of partial chunks - whether on back buffers, or the data within the colour splat code - over the other frames). Sure, it's only one less character. But it saved some cycles. And cycles mattered! Particularly when doing something with that much data to move / that took that much time.
We have a hybrid system here in Australia where there are tax benefits for having private health insurance but we also have a high quality public system. The public system actually comes out consistently as being more efficient than the private one, so the cost to society is less.

The rebates for private health insurance (to convince people to take out private insurance to “take pressure off the public system) have actually made things worse, for most people it’s subsidised by 30% by the Government (and you avoid an extra health levy), but over the last decade or two, the premiums have just gone up significantly and the amount of things covered has been dropping. It would have been better to just put that money into the public system (which is a bit overstretched due to underfunding). So mostly the subsidy has just gone into profits for insurers. It’s hard to get people to take out the private insurance without it and tax offset, but as I said before, since the public system is more efficient, the cost to society would be less without subsidising private insurance.
When I was in school I know it was popular to steal the trays to "drift" with. I also see another commenter saying they would use them for sledding. I wonder how theft factored into their decision.

making it insanely difficult to track services on invoices they send you. I had a 3 night stay a 2 years ago and received bills from 5 different 'companies'. I even paid one that I was incorrectly billed for and had to jump through hoops to get the money back.
Seriously: How do we know that these spammers who're using Wickr aren't directly paying LinkedIn and are being protected by LinkedIn?

People used to say I was nuts when I said LinkedIn outright make things up, that they try to track much more than they rightly ever should, and that they were doing nefarious things with the data they collect, but of course now we all know that was true. We don't even know the true extent of their fabrications.

Could LinkedIn be doing whatever it takes to make some extra money? It would neither be surprising nor unexpected in the least.
SOAP and the related libraries in .NET are pretty unfun to work with. However they are so old and unused compared to modern development that it’s not really a good comparison.

Like I have a Java app I am struggling with currently and not a fan of, but its on Java 8 so I don’t consider it representative of whatever I might find in modern Java despite the fact that I am working with it in modern times
I think paying once for a tool is outstanding and I fully support it. Prices can even be a lot higher, from my point of view.

The trouble is that everyone wants to be a landlord these days by charging rent instead of allowing you to buy a copy of the software.

> I also migrated from CRT to LCD to LED screens, and more recently to e-ink devices when possible.

I too use eInk whenever possible but that's just for reading (a passion of mine). All current computer monitors are LED AFAIK, is there any research tho that it's better for sight, or are you simply stating that you migrated as the technology changed?

I'm thinking that OLEDs are the best looking but one of their weaknesses often mentioned is that they aren't as bright; if you have lots of light (ideally natural sunlight) they may prove to be counterproductive if you have to strain to see due to appearing dim.
Actually I thought this was 10. Just double checked and a consumer drive in more like 50. Floppy disk seems to be less than 5.
It's disingenuous to claim claim that trickle down economics worked when the widespread middle class in the 1950s was buoyed by more government spending, much much higher union membership and high taxes on rich people. The US did have widespread beneficial economic growth after the rest of the world was town down in ww2 and we weren't, but that has ended over time as Reagan and others started claiming trickle down was the way to go. We reduced taxes on the top, theoretically making it easier for rich to spend and induce jobs for the others, but the impact of 1970s to now is worse opportunities. In summary the time that trickle down econ. was supposed to help was the time where the non-rich started to lose their share more and more.
Yeah, Elon really worked super-hard for those $200B. Man clearly outworked every other person in world history except Bezos, who has a team that photoshops him into vacation scenes practically every other week to keep Amazon employees to from understanding what a tremendous strain he puts himself under.

Oh, wait. He was born rich, continues to suckle the teat of the US government, and will generally make money if all he does is sit there and do nothing, because money is power, and power has a gravitational pull of its own.

Also, the reason that wealthy people with families who have hundreds of years of wealth are so stingy is because they don't want to work for it.
And it's not 1-1 the other way; there are many countries with more than 1 official language. The best way IMHO is a drop-down with the language name represented in its own language (e.g. "Deutche"), with the default based on the Accept-Language header.
No joke. If we'd been compensated at any kind of reasonable rate (not even our day-job rates) for time spent dealing with billing and insurance crap, it would've covered a good chunk of our (substantial) bills.
Usually this is done in a `kilt` as well. The key is to use a bagpipes.

> What depresses me the most about this situation is the callous, unempathetic disregard a significant portion of the population has for everyone not like them. "Just get a good paying job with health insurance" is not and should not be the basis for a health care policy.

The problem is this is a straw-man argument. We can agree that healthcare costs are too high, and have empathy for people who are being screwed over, but not agree that massive government intervention is a reasonable solution to the problem. In fact, there is an argument to be made that the only reason healthcare is expensive in the US is because of lawmakers failure to account for the second-order effects of their decisions (e.g. EMTALA). In the early 90s you could buy decent health insurance for less than the cost of Cable TV.

Unfortunately, the oft-repeated "solution" to the current crisis always involves forcibly taking tax dollars, and then directly funneling them into one of the most dysfunctional and corrupt institutions of all time (Healthcare), then lying to voters and telling them that doing so would magically turn the USA into Sweden or something. The people who don't support a public option are so exhausted making these arguments that they will tell you "It's socialism" and walk away from the conversation.

The 100 second video length is 2:39, far in excess of 100 seconds. Once I saw that I lost total confidence in the project.
The main problem with Wayland is not technical but political.

It follows the same forced adoption tactics than systemd.

People don't use it because it lacks many features compared to X and other implemented features do not work as good as on X.

So what do they do? They make Wayland, which is incomplete and beta quality, the default graphic engine of GNOME, which is the default desktop environment of 90% of Linux distributions.

And when people complain about this, the only thing they say is X is dead, Wayland is the future.
You are so incredibly wrong. Visual Studio was a horrible IDE for most of the past 20 years, relative to competitors. Quite literally the only reason it picked up marketshare was that it supported new Windows features before Borland could. Borland was miles ahead in every other respect.

Microsoft continued to suck, in virtually all respects, relative to competition, until around 2015.

I don't quite understand how Microsoft suddenly became competent, and released an awesome IDE, but that's a very new phenomenon.
SOAP isn't actually that bad if you use it with a typed language like C#. It's hell trying to use it with something like Ruby/Python though - I remember struggling to talk to a SOAP API with Ruby and getting into headaches that my data was being rejected until I realised that the XML properties had to be in the exact order unlike JSON which doesn't care usually.

Import a WSDL into Visual Studio and you've got your client code automatically generated & documented (if the API was written properly), works pretty nicely to be fair. Even easier than using something like Nswag to generate JSON clients from Swagger/OpenAPI specs.
Your points are all correct.. but this article isn’t written for startups.

When you work at trillion dollar company that likes to think of itself as a small nimble startup, you write articles like this… the point isn’t to help startups, it’s to influence people in the organization to behave in a certain way by attributing the behavior you want to another group you admire.

Google doesn’t care about creating a successful startup.. they do care about how their employees work together.

A slightly less cynical take is that when Google "studies" startups, they dont recognize problems like you describe because creating a startup isnt a problem they are faced with. But cultural issues exist everywhere, and so those are the problems that the person sees and addresses in their writeup.

The result is the same either way. You're not going to get startup lessons from one of the largest companies in the world.
I can, but unfortunately I don't have time as I do it for hobby purposes.
I think the pace of new discoveries in that time period over the last 10 years brings into question how accurate our consensus is. The consensus view is the best informed by current evidence, however we lack sufficient evidence to really pin down what humans were doing in most of the world. Given this lack of evidence, our default assumption is that they were doing what they had done before... which was probably living in nomadic tribes ... until suddenly Mesopotamia/Egypt.
America has socialized healthcare with a hundred extra steps and implemented in the most inefficient way possible so that everyone comes out worse.

Hospitals aren't allowed to deny care (obviously). They will bill people outrageous amounts and know that they will only ever see a fraction of it. So prices for people who do pay are raised considerably to make up for it.

People don't get early preventive care due to costs or because they are uninsured.

Supply of doctors is artificially limited by the ABMS so that demand stays high.

The government doesn't negotiate or mandate prices, so drug manufacturers, equipment manufacturers, researchers, hospitals and everyone else in the ecosystem squeezes out as much profit as they can to make up for all the countries where they are not allowed to.

The end result is that the average American knowingly or unknowingly pays a lot more for healthcare than any other country in the world while receiving sub-par care.
Well they are trying that now. It looks like the tide of war is not on their side at the moment.

And yeah, you should've got by now that the position of your neihbours is the most important factor in the policy of most, if not all, countries.
The fact that "users care more about ease of installation" is not a reason to completely disregard other factors, such as size, speed, security, integration. The truth is that using Electron is a shortcut for you, the developer, and Electron is bloated; it being good enough is just an excuse to take that shortcut.

Sometimes taking shortcuts is fine, your users might prefer additional features over performance and polish. But if you are a company the size of Slack, maybe you can afford not to take shortcuts or do those sacrifices while claiming it's "good enough".

"Good enough" is different from "good".
Fine. You?
Ask HN: Why are there no big cloud vendors based in Europe?
Due to gdpr, the patriot act and such laws there should really be a demand for an eu based cloud vendor. Does it exist? And by that I mean a vendor with competitive solutions to for instance AWS.
President Zelenskyy addresses tech community via AR
No. You can't claim that good things were somehow examples of trickledown. India didn't create cell phones or LTE technologies, but of course individuals from that country worked at companies making these things. It's just silly to claim arbitrary technology improvements are examples of trickle down econ. For example, lots of technology is created by war time scientific advances, pushed by governments.

Offers that got pulled, 18% who were laid off, compensation based on speculative value that’s gone, while the CEO walks away with a much more certain personal position. All for placing a logo adjacent to others engineering feats (unless the Csuite at Coinbase is secretly Satoshi Nakamoto).

Billions locked up in deference to a handful of CEOs means less liquidity in the open market. Which is intentional, I understand; if dollar value collapses these guys might have to work to survive, and of course humans could no longer do the necessary trade of real things to stay alive and prosper if an arbitrary financier cannot claim an arbitrary % of economic activity thousands of miles away.

Human agency is coupled to wishful thinking still. Which is understandable; we only just crossed the threshold of <50% of adults believing in higher powers. Was still 80% around 2000.
A lot of people read that statistic as "medical debt is crippling" but there are also correlations with lot of other life circumstances going on in that figure too.

Most of the people who file something like chapter 7 have little to no income, don't have big bank accounts, luxury cars, second homes, etc. This often correlates with people who have medical issues and rack up big bills, and can't work a job. These people can file "no-asset" chapter 7 cases, in which case, they lose absolutely nothing. This is what happens in the majority of chapter 7 cases filed. So, for a lot of the people who do choose to file, this is because it is a good option, not because it is a life crippling choice forced upon them.

This also misses a lot of other tricks: self-modifying unrolled code, keeping track of blocks of memory that don't need to be updated, or blocks of memory that have the same value. Memory moves may not be the fastest way.

If you want to measure distance travelled over the earth you want nms since the earth is a sphere and you don’t want your route length to be longer when you’re at higher altitudes

If you’re measuring distance in nms you want knots as they’re nms/hour

We use kms for other things though- like weather minima, runway length - things on (or close to) the surface. Eg I need either 5km or 8km forward visibility to enter some controlled airspace.

Ft for height is less functionally defined though- that’s just the way it is because it’s the way it’s always been. Not much gain in changing it though
If this was published on Medium, I would have highlighted this paragraph: "On the human side, the FDA mostly considers their responsibility to be to stop unsafe or ineffective drugs from entering the marketplace, and believes that allowing safe and effective drugs to enter the marketplace is a secondary goal."
