Interesting, that's the first time I hear of a US law being better for employee protection than here in Germany. Do they have limited sick days? That could explain it, as they are obviously unlimited here, but doctor's notes are commonly required after 0-1 days.
The reason is genetically. There is not difference between more feminist countries and the less ones.
I have seen very very good arguments that climate change is happening, but human's impact on it is most likely miniscule.

If this is the indeed the truth, then the trillions we currently invest in "reversing man made climate change" would be better invested in "preparing for the inevitable".

Even if powerful people rally for free speech in order to achieve an (maybe evil) political goal, THATS OBVIOUSLY BETTER THAN using censorship to achieve a (probably evil) political goal.

I find it unbelievable that this is such a hard concept to grasp.

If powerful people use free speech to spread nonsense, then just present your counter arguments, god damnit.

I know that it "takes more time to refute bullshit than to produce bullshit", sadly, that's just how it is. The bitcoin community has spent more than 12 years now to refute bullshit and people still fall for all the debunked FUD. This just means that we need a better tool to refute bullshit faster and more efficiently.

Wikipedia was a good first try, but of course since it succumbed to the woke mind virus, it is no longer viable.

There is a civilisation altering opportunity here to produce a new tool like it. I don't know how such a tool would look like.
Thanks. That was one of the topic we touched on discussing Flash [1] a few days ago. GPU has no idea what Vector is. I wonder how much memory could be saved if we could somehow "compute" all 2D fonts and graphics.

I just tested it in Google Chrome on the Android 10 device I have for testing and got yet another design https://i.imgur.com/4w8IvO8.png
This is a curse of web design - you have to guess if it's clickable. You're not allowed to have boxes, or lines, or raised buttons. It's almost a dark pattern. It seems to be a holdover from mobile, where unmarked buttons were a thing, but the buttons were bigger and the UIs simpler. Now they've migrated to busier interfaces and become smaller.

Date pickers are terrible if not near the current date. Ones for long-term data sets where you set the start and end date are a huge pain. Like getting inflation data starting in 1960, or coronavirus data starting in 2019.
The pick date widget is (at least for me) a solved problem: Use the jquery ui datepicker.

The fact that a lot of people prefer to avoid using jquery (for no particualr reason) and all its widgets and instead try to re-invent the wheel (in a much inferior way) blows my mind.
Just never use date pickers for birthday but for short term date picking like scheduling an appointment.

Date input can be DD, month in textform drop-down, YYYY and you won't have any problems anymore.

I don't understand why it is so hard for devs, PO,... to understand this :)

I've always wondered how much data they have. That's a crazy amount.

I wouldn't know where to even start for providing random access to that much storage.

Probably. Distributions don't necessarily have a huge amount of overlap. For example, upper body strength is also a distribution but the overlap is so small that 95% of men have stronger arms than 95% of women. With something as general as aptitude for things vs people the overlap is probably much greater than that but not certain without more data.

how this can be a good alternative? I doesn’t let you insert the date manually on mobile and there is no way to pick a different yea
A different pet peeve of mine on iOS is the USSD menu which is center-aligned, and i find that very ugly. Maybe the usage of this menu isn't universal but for someone from a developing country, we use that like a million times a day. Mostly we are choosing a menu item to continue with a dialogue and the numbers are not aligned.
You just don't set a bidding price early, it can only increase the final price you pay. And don't bid unless you're willing to pay.
Which part do you not believe? Humans evolved as social creatures and the saying "it's not what you know but who you know" is as old as time.
I feel like this is such a silly post.

Using the date input field should always adhere to the UX of the browser OS.

If I'm on Android and I spend my whole life learning the UX of Android's date picker, wouldn't you want the web's date picker to follow the same UX?

This is less a problem the website should solve and more of a problem that end-users need to learn.

If my grandma doesn't know how to use a feature on her phone you bet she is contacting a family member first. Maybe we should encourage our family to use tools that they are proficient in...

I'm an iOS user majority of the time and it is very intuitive to tap the text with the > symbol. Like others state, Android's UX can be just as confusing.

I'd say you're following UX best practices and are supporting the native accessibility features of the phone so :shrug:... close and move on
Absolutely they should _move_ separately, but they can both be visible at the same time.

I'm not suggesting that they are stuck together; that would be pointless.

Yes margins on the core flying are pathetically low. Planes are $50 million+ pieces of capital equipment and high utilization is the only way to make the numbers work. Southwest is legendary for their quick turns which keep utilization high. It's just not as resilient during irregular operations.
I'm sure there must be studies done on apes that would clarify that exact question.

It's sometimes preferred because package repositories don't always include the updated version of the program, and saves the tedious work on uploading to every package repository like Arch Linux or Debian's.
A common reply is that all the different package managements are even more work for someone already maintaining a project.
Various groups of engineers from my team and adjacent teams eat lunch together pretty much every day.

Even ignoring lunch, we all still take plenty of breaks throughout the day to decompress, stretch, walk, grab snacks, make coffee, and so on - during each of which we have ample opportunity to chat with the folks around the office. We chat about our weekends and common interests, as well as misc tech topics that may or may not be relevant to the job. Once a week we actually have a scheduled coffee chat for the whole team.

I couldn’t work at a place that didn’t accept these sorts of interactions as a normal part of work life. No one does eight hours of heads-down work every day, unless they’re actually at work 10+ hour days every day.
If a default value is set you’re going to have the problem of people skipping the field and submitting the default value instead. What is needed is a way of influencing the picker’s default view into year view with a default year visible, but without actually setting a default value. Only Apple can provide that level of control.
My reading is that the mask is just an early step(s) that than gets avg'd and matted out. Backgrounds dont change much after ~30 steps, so u an take those and diff the final for the mask?
If your job is to attract an agent that is playing a careful balance between exploration and exploitation, while on tight computational budget, then you want to attract them with some initial hooks (e.g. bright colors) and appease their computational risk assessment module with high compressibility (e.g. symmetries and self-similar patterns).

And yet despite having nary a biology degree among them, even they will tell you that men can not gestate or nurse a child. And that men are biologically more suited to some types of primitive hunting.

I agree. The people who call Safari the new IE probably don't know what zoom: 1; does and how fundamentally broken so many basic things were in IE6.
As the article mentions, the original phrase was written by Elizabeth Beatrice Hall in 1906.
I'm with you! If you're serious about your software (read: you want users)... either make a Flatpak manifest, package spec, or something equivalent.

Point is, somebody made something better than this little install shell script. I'll accept pip, I'm not picky.

There is almost surely no reason for $thing to be writing to my system directories. Nobody should be coaching this, it can go wrong in every way.

Binaries and libraries can come from my home directory. You won't find /home mounted with noexec outside of strict compliance environments.

Build services like OBS and COPR make the actual equipment investment of building packages basically non-existent. Roaming repositories for any distribution you could want.

Leaving the one-time cost of writing out the specs... and I suppose maintaining dependency creep.

That maintenance isn't that expensive because you'd be maintaining them in the script anyway. You're just using common domain language

Do these things and you cover 95% of the DSL:

- PKGBUILD (basically the script, AUR means you'll get maintainers)
- RPM
- DEB

Say a fourth significant option comes around, I'll guarantee you the concepts are similar enough.

Macro creep is real, but this is the cost of maintenance work. Give us something to maintain.

> Actually the Firefox and Chrome date pickers look... exactly the same

It does not seem that most websites use the built-in date pickers. I've seen dozens of different date pickers all while using Firefox. This is the key problem.

At least if everyone used the browser native date picker, it would be consistent within that browser. Then we could debate about which browser had the better one (and maybe standardize).
As pointed out in the post, it's pretty easy to switch between years. It's mostly a matter of it being unintuitive. Unfortunately this isn't at all unique to Safari. See this comparison of implementations:

I think at minimum they could've chosen 1980 or something as a default. 0% of their users were born today so not setting a default makes no sense
Package management isn't realistic unless you only pick a few distros to support -- and then you get criticized for not supporting every distro, some of the distros end up way behind on the version, some of them modify your code to make it fit better in their system...
Thanks. I am trying the wifi connection to see if this helps.
The alternative is something like AppImage. The benefit of curl | bash is that it's a command that can be run on any distro and just work. There is no need to worry about how the Linux ecosystem still hasn't agreed upon a single package format.
The ones with editable text input fields are all desktop browsers (1 is Chrome, 3 is Safari and I think the last one is Firefox) and the ones without them are mobile (2 is Chrome 4 is Safari)
Most flowers are food sources for the insects that pollinate them.
Agreed. I'm an iOS user primarily and have been since almost iOS 1. Some android intermittently.

I have no trouble figuring out how to pick by year because the rest of iOS follows a standard UX.

It seems more important to me to support the native accessibility of the phone than use an external UI vendor.

I am a huge advocate of family members and elders to purchase devices they are comfortable operating. This is why my grandparents primarily use their desktop computer for any important things, and their iPhones for messaging/video chat.

The movie uses a modern Mayan language for dialogue, uses Maya actors and depicts a religion still practiced today. Moreover, practitioners of that religion were being actively killed for their practice only a decade prior. The analogy with nazis and europeans seems pretty different to me.

The argument I've seen is that basically because we'll never have that post-ww2 levels of construction - building more market rate housing only pushes existing tenants out of the city. You have to usually tear down existing housing and then build new. So, the old tenants get pushed out and then new housing comes in but it's a lot of investment properties and whatnot... So, the cost of housing doesn't actually go down.

If we had post-ww2 levels of housing development but with mixed use residential then I'm thinking we'd have more of an agreement but that's the issue... No one thinks that will ever happen. So, they advocate for more government housing because that will improve more lives of lower income folks.
Does this mean James Damore was right? Or is there something wrong with this research?
So I'm not the only one.

It's not just limited to Safari. Any and every date picker that doesn't allow text input of the date is ridiculous, those of you that design these things that call yourselves designers should find a new career path, I recommend selling cologne out of your trunk at a gas station, and if you're involved in this blatant and hostile devolution of interface I hate your guts. This particular one is my number one hated trend in UX, by a high margin. It is the most absurd set of design decisions I have ever seen, I can't see how it would not be malicious, it shows disdain for your users and you should be ashamed of yourselves. Fix this one and then we can talk about the others.
>And do they swap these placeholders and entered values if you change the country from US to an EU country?

The solution is to use words instead of numbers for Month. I dont care which part of the world you are from and how the date settings differs. Months are only show up as Jan, Feb, March Etc and not 01, 02 , 03.

And always show 4 digit for years as YYYY.
It's not a US law, it's a state law. And there are plenty of laws throughout the union that are "better" (more favorable to the employee) than in various places in the EU. California, for instance, has pretty strict employee/tenant protections; along with Oregon, New York, etc. There are also others that are substantially worse (Mississippi, Alabama, etc).

You can't compare US Federal law to German Federal law (in these cases), as the Federal government is significantly and substantively hands off to labor concerns (beyond the bare minimum). You would have to compare specific state statutes to Bundesrat+Bundesland statutes.

They rely on subscriptions for two very subscriptiony things - storing and syncing files, and hosting a website. Both have ongoing recurring costs, so a subscription is the only thing that makes sense. You don't actually need either of them and could easily use any other third party syncing/static host tool or service, and many people do with Git, Dropbox, etc.

The only part of their business model you can't go around is the fact that they're not FOSS, and for business use you need a business license. I personally find the terms quite acceptable (only apply if you work in a for profit place with more than two employees and more than X revenue), and the price is good value for money for me.
No, your real weight does not fluctuate around a mean with a standard deviation. For one thing, your weight today has a great deal to do with your weight yesterday. This alone means you shouldn’t expect the kind of graph in TFA if your weight is in fact stable.
That's a good example because it leads to truth that NO up-front tagging will ever anticipate all the searches you might make in future. There are so many possible searches.

I figure that a combination of wetware and software is the current sweet spot. My brain usually has enough associations and context to turn every photo search into a time or place filter - "I think it was downtown last year" or "some time in summer at home" or "it had my wife in it". The photo storage system need only provide search/filter on date and place to narrow it down to a few hundred thumbnails, plus machine-learning to tag people. Which is basically what iOS provides, no more, no less.

Any other up-front categorization or tagging is basically wasted effort.

For me, I wrote a bulk tool that renames my photo file names by reverse geocoding the GPS information via Open Street Maps. That way I can do text search for place, as well as 2d map search. It's at https://unto.me
I think a better distinction than "people vs things" is "interconnect vs push/pull".
I don’t believe somebody who asked for a couple coffee chats with me is more deserving of a job referral / recommendation and eventually the job itself than somebody who just applied on the company website.

> it shows that the government leaned on Twitter to do what it wanted but not able to mandate it,

Why does a government has to "lean" on a private media company in a "democrat" and "liberal" democracy? Not able to "mandate" is total bs, see the Pentagon-related leaks where there wasn't any need of any "mandating". If anything, this shows how hypocritical the whole industry has become, including many of its workers.

Hopefully this will scare away all potential future Aaron Swartz-es from this industry, or from the main parts of it at least, and hence bring it all down a peg or too.
