> helping save the lives of those babies who are now likely very glad they were born

I have met many people who hated their lives for many reasons. What makes you think these children won't?

Some of the reasons include:

- parents didn't want the children

- children grew up poor

- children grew up with disabilities

- children were put up for adoption

- the world is becoming uninhabitable for the children's children

I can't imagine how someone could feel good about birthing a baby without also giving all of the necessary safeties. And that's just looking at the children's perspective. What about the parents'?

Can you imagine having been raped, then being forced to carry an unwanted child to term, and then also being forced to pay child support to the rapist?

Can you imagine wanting a child but then discovering that the child will be stillborn or worse: born with debilitating defects that you aren't capable of dealing with?

If you want children then go have children. If you don't want children... then why should you be forced to?

> my default is that you really shouldn’t be killing your offspring or cutting up your insides unless you are removing something like cancer or shrapnel.

Indeed! Sometimes the baby is literally dying for reasons outside of your control. But without Roe v Wade then we cannot legally abort. A dying fetus can cause sepsis and death to the mother. That's certainly "something like cancer or shrapnel" in my book.

I had a lot of head-burying opinions too until I had a long and deep conversation with a female friend about politics. She had the patience to listen to what I had to say with the knowledge and experience necessary to provide alternate views. I suggest that you ask the women around you what they think. Don't stop at one or two. Really listen to them. Listen to their perspectives and their opinions. Try to put yourself in their shoes.

You will find that their perspectives and opinions differ from yours. You might even find that they enjoy things that you think should be sacred. You're not wrong and neither are they. But what is wrong is to force your morals and opinions onto them.
My school had 'As You Like It' and Animal Farm in its curriculum. I must say, Shakespeare was a lot of fun to read, especially finding so many hidden puns in simple looking passages.

My teacher also showed us a movie adaptation at the end, and watching it as a drama while you understood the nuances of their dialogues actually enhanced the experience.
Does a black person require their every biological process be maintained by the body of another? If yes, then OK your comparison makes sense.
The trimesters have absolutely 0 actual meaning here, as this is fundamentally putting an arbitrary line on a continuous process. Yet this is probably the only way you're getting anything, as they're at least a useful Schelling point that can get some compromise.
IBM offers a free set of courses here: https://ibmzxplore.influitive.com. I played around with it a few months ago. As far as I know it's still available.

It doesn't cover COBOL in great depth but does touch on various pieces of the zOS ecosystem and gives you some access to a real mainframe.

There's also this COBOL course: https://github.com/openmainframeproject/cobol-programming-co...

I haven't tried the later and I'm not entirely clear on how you get access to a mainframe environment for it.
The cost of server-side rendering feels pretty trivial to me these days.

Fly.io will sell you a 256MB of RAM container for $1.94/month, which is perfectly capable of server-side rendering dozens (maybe even hundreds if you write efficient code) of requests per second.

I'm sure you can get even better deals if you shop around.
Would a typical hiring manager actually know the answer to that?
> Now, if he didn’t reply to you after having 4 chances to do so, that’s a pretty good indication that he doesn’t want to talk to you. But before that - it’s just you being stupid and thinking too much of yourself.

Or, you should learn to use email instead of thinking too much of yourself. Unless you are CEO of a Fortune 500 you have no excuse to have 100K unread emails
Sucks to be that kid. I’m talking about smoking in the smoking section of a bar with a few beers and friends on a weekend. Not smoking in tight spaces with kids or non-smokers. Different expectations.
We shouldn't, they regularly visit all countries.

The reason this is probably posted is that there was some noise on Twitter last year between someone from the council and the Dutch police. The council person had jumped to conclusions on some Twitter "evidence" that turned out to be a video that wasn't from the day and thing it was claimed to be from and they hadn't verified this before tweeting.
I've experienced plenty of scenarios where costs have quite legitimately spiked.

Ultimately whatever solution you put in place, someone is going to complain about it. At least with the system they currently have in place they can reimburse customers. Whereas it is a lot harder to fix their reputation after they've automatically stopped production services.
Good. End all foreign wars, bases, etc. They are bleeding us of our wealth and destroying our international relations. Its a bloated empire at this point.
Almost anyone can afford a home if they're willing to make the necessary life changes (one of which may be getting less home than they want). But those changes may involve moving to another county/state/country at the extremes.

Often it could be "afforded" by the HN-income crowd just by not buying a new car.
The irony sometimes is that automating the best practice can make it so ubiquitous that it loses effectiveness. Bunch of tools for this. gem.com is a big one (it's also a data broker feast which is how they get your email in the first place)
Well, it was easy to be part of a team (even if you weren't really) when you were physically collocated with said team.

But now, unless you really really are part of that team, you are an IC. Programming, by nature of what it is and who does it, always had a bunch of IC's, but now the phenomenon is more clear due to remote (which is something I recommend a lot of people on here thing about as they design their career).
The thing that the "progressive left" doesn't want to admit is that Roe can be bad law AND that the right to be secure in/have control over your body needs to exist.
I originally had bit in the post about classism and racism about how people moved out to the suburbs to escape higher density housing but deleted it because I thought it would be too contentious.

Plus, that's more the "crime rates" crowd, which is often thinly veiled racism.
I'm not sure a successor to SQL is even necessary, rather there would be benefit to some higher level interfaces provided by the RDMBS that compliment SQL to cut down on the egregious application boilerplate that becomes necessary to achieve common tasks using SQL directly.

SQL is essentially the assembly language of the database. That makes it very powerful, but sometimes you just want a language that gives you a "garbage collector" for free, while still being able to drop down to assembly when you need additional power.

There is no technical reason why an RDBMS can't support different modes for accessing data. We are just so used to putting that work into the application that it has become a hard sell to want to move it to the right place.
If it's "somewhat less than murder" all these states with anti-abortion laws would have carve outs when the mother's life is in danger. You'd definitely allow someone else to commit an evil act that's "less than murder" to save a person's life, wouldn't you?

"Within days", when your country is being attacked now is a significant delay. No one is saying that the banking system failed Ukraine, but there are times when speed is essential and any delay is costly. Cryptos value is shown in such cases.
In meatspace, underground zines wouldn't be in Barnes & Nobel, they'd be in the independent book store or record shop. Mainstream shops never let just any material be sold (especially when they were leading the market compared to Amazon).

So, is content really "underground" if it's on a social media site like Tumbler, FB/IG, etc.? "Underground" implies distribution via alternative channels, and in 2022, webrings are alternative (compared to mainstream social media sites).
Without arguing on the specifics of this case, I do not think that the answer is "ban all of research that can be read as racist". This -seems to me- would be acting on symptoms and not causes of a deeper issue, and could actually end up in much worst consequences.
> inexcusable problems with WebKit, such as the fact it's written in C++ and therefore produces a consistent supply of memory corruption bugs year after year.

Are you under the impression that Chromium and Gecko are not written in C++? Mozilla has been using _some_ Rust but the modern browser engines are some of the largest, most complicated C++ codebases in existence and your statement applies to all of them.
It is also a major annoyance for progressive Catholics, that traditionalists pick and choose which Church teachings they agree with. Immigration being a big example. Also working towards the "common good" is something conservative Catholics balk at. And they dismiss the Pope's encyclical on respect for the environment, and some even don't think the Pope is a good pope. Let's face it, both sides pick and choose. The Catechism is hard to live by fully.

> I feel like software will be what makes or breaks this

This is pretty much the case. The Linux community attitude seems to be "build the hardware, and the software developers will come" - with pretty underwhelming results (which you can attribute to a lot of things, but I attribute to most developers who get these devices building toy apps instead of libraries, tooling, and documentation).
The difference between his situation and yours is that you didn't create the charges. Legally you're not liable for something someone does while impersonating you, even if you walked around with your private key on a t-shirt. They may or may not be nice to him but for you they didn't have a choice.
For normal URLs, I agree. But in this case you have adversarial urls. Suppose the scammer puts some http and www.google.com in the url parameters, after some randomly generated 8 characters dot someobscuretld site.

I don't trust myself enough to be 100% sure I can decode an URLencoded misleading mess perfectly all the time.

They already hid urls in the username of the url, like www.google.com.unholymessherethatscrollsoutoftheurlbar @ malignantdomainnotgoogle.blah
> 100ms added latency can cost you 7-8% in conversions

i hear this metric (or something equally absurd) cited frequently and have never seen it to be true in my own experience.

i guess if you have to load a product page with 100 images (or assets) and each has 100ms network latency, then it will add up to much more than that. but 100ms for a single interaction or network request (e.g. process payment POST) is not going to move the needle on conversions. 100ms will feel instantaneous to 97% of users, and more than satisfactory for the remaining 3%.

(i say this as someone who profiles aggressively and strives to optimize every stray 5ms in JS and every 1kb over the wire)
As a kid, I used the briefcase as a normal folder (I think) just because the icon looked cooler.
I'll do cursory research which makes me intrigued enough to apply and show up to the interview. I'll do my sales pitch of myself when you ask me questions about myself. Why is it a "negative signal" for me to expect a sales pitch about what you're selling here? I know some basic facts, I can read what your polished marketing blurb, but I want to hear you speak about your team and your product and your market like a human, from first principles. Too much to ask?

(I'd probably have more specific clarifying questions as follow-ups to the open-ended ones. Judge me on those if you wish, though that's not why I'd be asking them.)

When I've gotten stuck it's usually because the previous engineer completely screwed up the data structure design and in doing so made it impossible to change. This boxes me in because I can't implement the feature in an architecturally sound way without a significant refactor.

The vast majority of the US had and has limits on abortion.

What portion of the world has limits or not has no bearing on the reasoning for exposing doctors and patients to legal liabilities for no reason.

> It's not just in megaprojects either. In my large, fairly dense US city, basic, easy-to-build, local infrastructure like adding a 1-mile bike lane to a straight street is impossible because a handful of NIMBYs are constantly taken seriously by local politicians.

And it is not just about public infrastructure projects either. Basic private projects are also bureaucratically difficult to pull off, simple things like tearing down an old house and building a small multi-unit low rise in its place, needs an army of lawyers and consultants to approve. With that, only big companies have the bureaucratic resources to do it, so "regular people" are locked out of the opportunity to redevelop their own home, and the city gets less variety of developments as the few able players keep copying and pasting the same stuff, focused only on the same target market.
Not likely... There's a good chance she's alone with the kids and has to take on multiple jobs. Don't you think she will have sacrificed a lot of her own life for unwanted kids? Do you know somebody who's happy with a situation like this? I'm sure they exist but if you'll ask me for odds in a tough country like the USA I'll tell you they're bad.

Is it possible to do all kinds of mathematical research upto ABC-hypothesis using GH only for publishing and maybe getting some help from random folks who also can read math?
Am I the only one that think nowadays anything can be called "full stack"?

For me "full stack" is something like Rails, Laravel, Django, etc.

Or is it just being able to run code on the server enough to be "full stack"?

I'm missing the translations system, the validations, the background jobs, the authentication system, authorization helpers, email sending, ORM or data access layer, testing framework, CSRF and related security protections, logging, error handling framework, etc, etc, etc.

To me that's a "full stack" framework. If just running code on the backend and on the frontend is enough, then I can make a bash script a full stack framework, right?
I wonder if this means they will reconsider their "Encrypted Media Extensions" spec. I lost all respect for the organization when that passed.

Similarly, no one is really against the morning-after pill.

I wouldn’t be so sure about that. A lot of people, including elsewhere in these comments, believe that “life begins at conception” and that therefore any action taken to stop the process post-fertilization is murder. That includes the morning-after pill.

It also includes IUD’s and IVF technology. Ironically, the latter actually enables some couples to have children.
If you want those children to be born, you could also vote for better child/parent support. Ensure those women that are pregnant have confidence that they can carry the responsibility of raising these children for 18 years. Ensure good affordable healthcare is provided for those that can't afford it, ensure good affordable education is provided, ensure good affordable childcare is provided for.

Try helping instead of forbidding. And accept some children should not be born due to health, abuse, rape, etc.
> Even if abortion was a moral issue, and not about preserving human life, nothing precludes states from legislating morality.

Not nothing -- we have a constitution that guarantees rights, many of which are rights to behave immorally (in the eyes of some). In fact that's the core of the Democrat's argument.

> And people perceive that conflict as involving more fundamental issues than what the marginal income tax rate should be.

Agreed, and that's pretty much my entire point.

> It’s an error to rely on the Presidential popular vote. Because it doesn’t count nobody is trying to win it.

I see this argument a lot but I don't find it convincing. There are plenty of senate and representative seats that are not competitive and yet we still count their votes when discussing the balance of power between the two parties, despite the fact that one side is less likely to try to win.

>The combination of willingness to travel and experience/skills in something really esoteric

Maybe. I've known people like you describe who were legitimate experts in various aspects of some legacy system or another. And they probably had a pretty good gig--until they didn't. Mainframes probably have more staying power (and are still being developed) but I'm not sure that starting out I would be deliberately optimizing for something like this.
I think you might benefit from understanding what this means:

i personally found LOTR to be "groundbreaking" for it's time. But if LOTR came out after say something like GOT. Well GOT is better in that sense.

The key difference between modern cinema and previous cinema is pacing; and this is a key ingredient stories need to be good, that people often dismiss.

GOT by itself, is a relatively Mundane story. But pacing was masterful. Killing off the main character at the end of the first season was revolutionary.

LOTR also has a relatively generic plot. LOTR is mostly famous for the world building. That was a first and it was revolutionary as well.

I would say however, that when analyzing basic human nature and looking at what we truly like and don't like... pacing is actually far more important then world building.

Blade Runner is great, I liked blade runner for the world building and character development as well. But don't be so snobbish as to ignore pacing. The pacing in blade runner is categorically horrible.
That is until the inflation forces a shift to another medium of higher value. It goes like this at my work: email -> Slack -> Meeting invite > Text Message(!) -> phone call (!!). If it gets to a phone call it better be the CEO stuck in a well and I’m the only person limber enough to pull him out, otherwise I’m just going to be mad.
>In fact if one cares about the said mailbox, there would never be any significant number of unread emails in the mailbox.

I don't care about the mailbox and suck at managing it, but I do care about the people who reach out (if you give me a call or follow up I will always apologize and get you what you need). Usually I manage to get to everything, but when I'm swamped or when my mental health is not doing so well things start descending into chaos pretty fast.

Recently it's been bad enough that I am considering just hiring a part-time secretary to organize things, reply to the trivial stuff and keep me in check so others don't have to.
That is the most business-efficient course, but it is also an excellent way to ensure you have no true expertise in your company when a gnarly problem eventually strikes. Avoiding the hardest problems does not attract the kind of people who like solving hard problems, after all.
> nothing precludes states from legislating morality

You seem to be confused or at least "cloudy" about some things. The U.S. has the concept of separating religion from government (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_church_and_state).

Government does and should regulate behavior. But, morality based on religious beliefs becomes a problem, when the beliefs of particular religious groups are imposed on others who don't believe as they do. Effective government would find the correct balance, where the laws reflect what's best for the majority and protects individual rights and freedoms within reason.

> The state has the power to regulate, but simply tolerates abortion under certain conditions.

The issue the U.S. will now be running into, is that various states will have conflicting laws on abortion, adding to chaos and confusion.

The extremism involved in total or nonsensical abortion bans by various states, like even in cases of: rape, statutory rape, teenage/child pregnancy, incest, life of mother in danger, high percentage chance child will have major birth defects, various contraceptive measures (IUDs, abortion pills) etc... Then becomes a matter of showing a callous attitude of destroying and endangering the lives of various women and even the children they might be forced to bear.

In that situation medical professionals are doing everything they can to keep that person alive. If there is another option besides the one donor found it will be used.

Fetuses aren’t granted the right to “pursue happiness”. Abortion doesn’t absolve a mother of obligations while giving the child a chance to part ways amicably. As the potential organ donor you cannot choose to actively terminate the life of the recipient, they are free to continue on until they can no longer.
