Pay and holidays stayed the same as the original offer, not pro-rata. It was a case of "not enough money in the budget" rather than "you're not worth more"
Reading this person's attitude to time is extremely odd, particularly because I've just started reading "Four Thousand Weeks" by Oliver Burkeman.
My next door neighbors bought a 200 ft ethernet cable, and we ran the cable over a fence to connect our two houses to play system link halo. We had a lot of fun playing halo with all the neighborhood kids
In many western countries it is a legal requirement to have an accessible site. Not just public ones either - internal-only sites still need to be accessible in many countries since internal users need to do their jobs too. Have your customers "asked" for the code to not be awful, or for there not to be security issues, or for it to be performant and so on? They're all kinda "implicit" non-functional requirements in my mind. We make the code non-shit and performant just as part of our job without anyone asking, and a11y is probably something we should do by default too.

It is very easy to make some absolute show-stopping errors with accessibility if you are not developing with it in mind, but luckily there is a lot of good free tooling that will catch 80-90% of the issues.

The Chrome Dev tools, OS-built-in screen readers, aXe for automated testing, and some very basic knowledge will get you a lot of the way (e.g. chrome dev tools accessibility tree view is awesome), but there will be some bits that require hands-on knowledge and engineering to implement/test/fix - e.g. making a table keyboard accessible is "trivial" from a technical perspective, but it might still be an awful experience for the users if you don't give it some care and thought (e.g. do you need to make every cell navigable via keyboard, or can you just do perhaps each row...? It really depends on your use case and that is where it gets harder of course!)

I'd recommend trying to use a screen reader from time to time. If you are used to seeing a page then it is a total culture-shock and feels totally impossible . However persevere and try to put your self I to the mindset of listening to a podcast/radio show or simply reading a fiction book etc and you'll slowly get the hang of it. Start slow and don't expect to be as fast as you are used to being when visually reading/scanning a page.

Some.of the fundamentals and errors I see so so so frequently:

- make sure the DOM is in a logical order (i.e. elements nested correctly and in a logical order - don't use CSS or JavaScript to move things around visually ... Elements should follow each other in the DOM logically)

- use HTML semantics properly - use <button> not <div class=button>, use <a> not <div onclick=navigate(foo)>, use <h1> not <div class=heading> etc etc etc. This is so common.

- use sensible labels

- check color contrast is sensible.

Just those few things will take you a long way to at least making your page comprehensible for assistive technology users, even if there are a few other rough edges elsewhere

Good luck.
Here’s the thing, I don’t work out much, if at all other than cleaning the house and mowing the lawn. Not much has changed on the lifestyle side, overall.

I recently started doing the stepper and noticed the improvement compared to occasional physical activity that I inconsistently do from time to time (e.g. sports outside with the kids).

Edit: typos
Thread and/or concurrency abstraction (and/or other abstractions provided by a language) allows information/knowledge about how to deal with the abstraction (option or default) to be provided to the compile behind the scenes. aka when coding a program, when was the last time coded a stack/heap to do a function call with parameters instead of using a language provided way of calling a function with parameters?

This just seems weird with C because C language was designed to map as closely to hardware instructions as possible (hence why quite a lot of things in C are 'undefined' / dependent on platform used.)

Most modern languages are designed so that hardware issues are not a programmer's thing, but a compiler implementor's thing. Allows for much more sophisticated hardware without burdening the non-systems programmer.
When I was a little kid, I remember my dad and uncle would mail cassette tapes back and forth, instead of writing letters.

Dad would gleefully find one in the mail, unwrap it, open a beer, and sit down with his headphones on and notepad in hand. Once in a while he'd actually pause the playback while jotting notes, but mostly the things he wanted to respond to only needed a scribbled word or two as a prompt for later.

Having finished the tape, he'd walk around for a minute to collect his thoughts, grab a second beer but not open it, rewind the tape, press Record, wait a count of 5 for the leader to be past the record head, then crack that beer right into the microphone -- every tape started with that sound -- and begin to hold forth.
Jumping to a specific page is a bit of an ambiguous / undefined term in this case. Like asking for a specific page in a book that's still being written. Maybe today the plot twist occurred on page 100, but then the author decides chapter 1 needs more backstory, and now the plot twist happens on page 115.

Unless you can guarantee your data is static, or that the sorting order cannot be mutated and only append later values, the concept of what data belongs in which page could be changing every millisecond.

I told the employer that I currently work 4 days so I won’t join without keeping that schedule.

Before that, I just asked for 4 days and made it clear I provide the value of those who work 5 days a week. No pay cut required.
Was working fulltime.

Asked my manager to go down to 4 days. They said yes.

Now down to a 3 day week (spread over 5 days) as it fits my situation better.
Signal is just moving from one centralized PII tracking entity to another.

DDG does not set a cookie that identifies you and as such has absolutely no way to have your ads or anything else be influenced by what you searched for earlier or what results you clicked on, outside of the single page you get when you search.

Check it for yourself using your favorite browsers developer console, there are no cookies, unless you set preferences and if so, the cookie is a very short string that indicates your preferences and is obvious not usable as a user id.

What they do is log what is searched for and what results and ads are clicked and that is not tied to you. Because they don’t have a concept of ‘you’, only of that one search.

And that is definitely not ‘same as Google’, Google automatically sets a user identifying cookie once you open the homepage, tries all kinds of tricks to tie this user id to your Google account and tracks anything you do to that account and remembers it forever. That’s why you only need to search for a car once to get ads for cars for weeks. Even if you clear your cookies. That’s Google tracking you. DuckDuckGo does not do that.

And it is really unfair to just accuse them of being ‘same as Google’. They are not same as Google, obviously they are not perfect but they do make the sacrifices while still making it work without tracking everything you do.
Says the app doesn't exist. But 40min later a new user submitted another vercel app which lists the next canadian public holiday https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32544522 so I'd say the author renamed it.
Seems plausible base on my experiences outdoors, but it heavily depends on ambient conditions. Over such large distances I think the unlikely part is you do that trick twice, but even that is plausible merely by looking at seasonal changes.
Unrelated, but when did Medium become broken in Reader mode in Safari? Reader only shows the first paragraph now, with an ellipsis after, which seems intentional on Medium’s part.

It’s unfortunate because this seems like an interesting article but I don’t want to subject myself to their website in order to read it.
They never said they're against Ads - that's silly, digital advertising is here to stay and it will continue to grow.

They are against building specific profiles of people while tracking them across 3rd party sites without consent.

Software is a tool that can be used effectively in education (e.g., Khan Academy). Nobody says it is the only tool that you should use.

If you are saying that 100% of grading must be manual, it implies 0% effectiveness of Khan Academy (false). In practice, even if just a half of the tests can be automated, it would free the time for teachers to do the work that can't be automated.

Software can provide a great leverage.

Nice site. I like the design. The speed of page loads is particularly noticeable to me; what does the stack look like?

There's no visible border on the username/password fields on the login page for me, you might want to fix that.
Look at g7 health funding by gdp for the last 40 years. The U.K. has been 10% lower than the rest (and about 1/3 - 1/2 of the US) for 40 years, Tory, labour, coalition, doesn’t matter.
I like the term lifestyle business... but I'd be hesitant to use it until the business actually supported my lifestyle.

To acquaintances, I'll often just say "I'm building an app". Small business is a decent alternative, but a lot of the time when I use that term I'll feel pressure to clarify that it's not like.. a lawn mowing business or something. (nothing against those though!)
Japanese manga is still really cheap. The latest volume of One Piece is 484 Yen on Amazon Japan which is about $3.50 USD. An English US volume is $10. Books in Japan are absurdly cheap in general, I believe by law.

Anime though is often way way cheaper in the US although that may have changed since Sony started buying up most of the players. Although this does have some downsides as US releases are usually hard-coded to have English subs on when using Japanese voices, no Japanese subs etc. to try and discourage reverse importing. But yeah easily a 5th the cost of collecting the whole set from the Japanese releases. Only Aniplex (who Sony owned) would do the garbage $80 for 2-3 episodes in US.

Almost everyone isn't red haired, doesn't make it ok to exclude red haired people just because they represent 3% of the population.
You can't distinguish the boxes externally (just by looking anyway).

Therefore you can't say which one contains kinetic energy (the box with the spinning disk) and contains the potential energy (the box with petrol in it).

If you can't distinguish kinetic from potential in this circumstance, does the definition of 'kinetic' and 'potential' have any rigorous meaning? I'm fine if they don't, I'm just trying to understand.
Father's Day is not a public holiday in Australia.
We switched to four day weeks last year. In practice, it means I now work six days a week instead of seven.
I interpret this line such that this instance of “religious mind” is associated with the directly aforementioned “saintly character”. That is to say that your examples of Aaron, the scribes, Pharisees, etc. were definitely not “saintly characters”.

Humility (this is a smaller Ego, yes?) is praised throughout the Bible. Its “saintly characters”, primarily Jesus, exhibit this trait.

Similarly, Krishna humbles Arjuna in the Gita (Arjuna being the “saintly character” here).

100%, and sadly I've had quite a few high-friction conversations with friends about iMessage. It's endemic and trickles down to some of their customers, too.

Since hash functions are fixed-length, aren't there always infinitely many collisions and therefore passwords which would work?

Also ChromeOS has a semi-decent screen reader built in too.

MacOs, Windows, and ChromeOS are devmcent. Linux as usual is a cluster fuck - it has basic functionality available, but it is lacking almost all features from what I can tell - e.g. skipping words/paragraphs, listing links/headings/forms/inputs/landmarks etc. I don't test on Linux as I figure that anyone who needs to use a screen reader won't be using Linux as the support seems to awfully backwards compared to other OSs
That doesn't make sense legally and regulators have given their blessing to the approach for Bitcoin I mentioned.

I personally think even going after stakers is a bridge too far, but in that case the staker is profiting off of the illegal transaction and they're also directly participating in processing it.
At least it's getting studied. Most fitness supplements are total garbage advertised by equally garbage people trying to make money risking other people's health.

The paper pretty much says fish oil + exercise does not increase performance ("inconclusive") and some evidence for improved fat loss. Many of the studies reviewed by the paper show evidence that heart rate is lower during "submaximal" exertion.

GP links to a list of "certified" fish oil sources, so if you wanted to at minimum test for yourself, you could just pick one from the list before you pursue your fish oil PhD.
The real problem here is browsers treating recently "expired" (but otherwise still perfectly "valid") certificates as comparable in danger to visiting a known malware den. This is absolutely the sort of thing that could harmlessly wait until the next Monday to address if it weren't for the overwrought interstitial warning page.
Why not? Everyone knows that when you’re running a scam and things get rough you don’t back down, you double down.

Don't have a last page button. :) Or limit the number of results to, say, 1000, which is trivial for an rdbms to handle. Or precompute the result set's rankings and transform the offset-limit query into a "where rank >= 991 and rank <= 1000" query.

If by gay you mean MSM, that's correct. But if you mean males wanting to marry each other, that's debatable.
That's a pretty good answer but there's a few gaps in it. Like I get there's still "taking a higher course load" ie score points by jumping through hoops to impress the future. Like I did a lot of this in high school, endless jumping through flaming hoops, and good exercise in hindsight, but come on. Well I guess everyone has little choice.

Yeah and you did pay some attention, got a sampler plate, makes sense.

Plus it's fun acing courses with no effort every once in a while. It's a good sign.
Are you saying unionized workers aren’t leaving their jobs?
Lot of sympathy here for teachers, which is very understandable. I am sure many of them, especially those early in their career, have a very miserable existence. But on the flip side I know several teachers that “stuck it out” and are making well over 100k annually working 9 months a year in low cost of living Ohio. In fact two of them are married, so they have a household income approaching 250k per year in an area where median household income is well under 100k. Teachers are very good at “putting on the poor mouth”, but many of them are living very comfortable lifestyles. And the administrators even more so. Their salaries would make some engineers blush.
Awesome! I joined the industry temporarily but the 5 days week (with 3 hours commutation) is soul crushing. Four days makes it fine to cope with. I hope I can find something using your website so I can work more on my personal projects.
I have a moderately successful website and know the feeling you describe.

One other consideration has been to find other creative outlets in order to not feel compelled to constantly redesign and overhaul it into oblivion.
I disagree. I find it funny, when libertarians and free-market advocates say "if you classify something a public good you turn the workers in it into slaves" that the same people who disagree with that often complain that essential workers in those fields aren't paid enough. I think markets could sort this out beautifully: if it's really so essential they'd get paid more.

The teachers are essentially saying "treat us better and pay us adequately or you're going back to the middle ages, like it or not, it's not our doing, it will be your doing and your undoing." They don't like that some of us don't believe that. Well, if it's true, show us. Quit.

We don't know how many people are going to defect from these movements as time goes by. Most likely it would be a secular society comprised of children or grandchildren of deeply religious folks, who themselses do not adhere that much.
No, he's right. And it has been this way for a long time. The way Corbyn and Assaange were demonized and smeared ought to have made it obvious - but that's the thing about controlling the entire media landscape. Even if it ought to be obvious, there are people telling you to ignore the truth tellers, and you've nowhere to read their exposes except social media, where in fact they are likely shunted down the algorithm.

There are always people running in online to say that since "both sides" detest the BBC they must be doing something right, but that's ignorance at best, if not plain disingenuous. The BBC have an insanely pro corporate pro war stance, and have wielded it in elections with craft and force. Same w the others.

It's not just me saying all this either. Many have noticed. Many decry the loss of a balanced media landscape. But you won't hear about it on corporate news, or the Beeb or the Grauniad either.

> Where/How did you find your job?

Referral from an old colleague.

Asked. Took 80% full time equivalent pay. Had just received a pay rise, so there wasn't much actual reduction.
Oh wow, that link. Before I clicked I was thinking: "there's no way I'd remember a specific sesame street segment I saw as a kid, no matter how many times."

As soon as I clicked it and saw the girls sitting at the table, I remembered the swirling orange colors.. and sure enough, next scene.

Thanks for this. I'd guess it's been at least 30 years since I'd seen it.
Right, the startling thing about Python's previous dict was that it was so terrible that the ordered dict was actually significantly faster.

It's like if you did such a bad job making a drag racer that the street legal model of the same car was substantially faster over a quarter mile despite also having much better handling and reliability.

In some communities the reaction would have been to write a good unordered dict which would obviously be even faster, but since nobody is exactly looking for the best possible performance from Python, they decided that ordered behaviour was worth the price, and it's not as though existing Python programmers could complain since it was faster than what they'd been tolerating previously.

Randomizing is the other choice if you actually want your maps to be fast and want to resist Hyrum's law, but see the absl experience - they initially didn't bother to randomize tiny maps but then the order of those tiny maps changed for technical reasons and... stuff broke. Because hey, in testing I made six of this tiny map, they always had the same order therefore (ignoring the documentation imploring me not to) I shall assume the order is always the same...

This game beautifully explains the prisoners dilemma. At first it might not seem relevant, but after playing the game I think you will see.

From a game theory perspective bad faith actors that are not punished create more bad faith actors. So if your model of information does not involve the idea of defection (lying for self enrichment) vs cooperation (trying to achieve mutual understanding) and how the defectors are punished (or at the very least not rewarded), then the philosophical foundation is shaky. Bad faith actors exist and must be accounted for directly without hand waviness. This article has a presumption of desired mutual understanding but fails to account for those who benefit the most from chaos or from those who have incompatible first principals to your own.

Dominance agnostic political ideas are contradictory, because much in the same way Kant's categorical imperative defines a contradiction, political ideas that are not able to maintain dominance are contradictory, since a more dominant party will destroy it. That's why countries have militaries.

As a small thought experiment, let's say you live in Consenusland next door to Authorityville. Authorityville comes to your richest members of society and says "we will pay you big money if you write news articles that cause chaos." Because the richest members of your society own all the media, all the business, and have control over politicians, they could easily do this. So some of them do and some of them don't, and society pays the cost of the chaos. When things get bad enough all of the rich people buy a house in New Zealand to escape the chaos.

How do you defeat that?
While I’m already very much an advocate for paying my team what why’re worth, the recent shifts with remote work has put extreme pressure on companies to meet salary expectations in much larger markets.

I have an employee who needed a 33% increase due to market pressures. While we were going to already meet 15% of that at his next annual, budgets didn’t easily allow for the other 18.

Instead, he got a significant raise and a 4-day week to boot. He’s happy. I’m happy. And, frankly, we don’t see any productivity loss.

It is absolutely possible.
Windows did all of that fine because the manufacturer made the machine with the intent of running windows and shipped it with drivers for its particular hardware. A System76 machine would be the same with linux, apart from the flash thing, so you aren't really saying anything meaningful about any operating system.
> “Fun fact”: mentioning pre-release software is actually very much allowed by the App Store guidelines, and has been for several years.
