Yeah, I can. Multiple in fact. That's the reason for my initial comment. My experience here isn't exactly unique. Search this threads, there are others raised in these sorts of communities that have similar experiences.

You can find these people to if you like. Simply go attend a fundamentalist religion service and ask around their homeschooling programs. It's really not hard to find if you know where to look.
Not in the UK... but maybe now I will see it everywhere!
You are right that perhaps the word "donate" is not the most appropriate, because for typefaces, like for programs, the author does not normally transfer ownership but only grants certain rights for using the typeface.

By "donate" I have meant that the typeface owners have forsaken the revenues corresponding to the licensing fees that they have stopped demanding, allowing the free use of those typefaces. It can be said that they have donated the value of the work that was needed to create those typefaces.

You are also right that now this Corefonts package is mostly of historical interest, because the included fonts are very old. Unlike these, the corresponding Windows fonts have been maintained, by fixing bugs and adding new Unicode characters.
Wordpress-the-company owns the name "Wordpress." They can sell that trademark, and then whoever they sell it to can call something else "Wordpress", and the current technology would have to get a different name.

Where there’s lack of sleep, willpower is one of the first things to be affected. So the authors advice only applies in a narrow set of cases. Exercise, for example, might be a better way of getting out of the vicious loops caused by lack of sleep.
Both cases are an index error. It's just for some other reasons in case of the section, the error is represented by an empty object and it's left to user to handle the result.

This could easily conceal the indexing error unless the caller code explicitly checks the length of the returned section.
I don't know about that. In my North American city, the old public schools, buildings, bridges, and earthworks from pre-WW2 are embellished with intricate patterns and decorative detailing, even when they are made from reinforced concrete. Buildings made after the war are, almost without exception, made plain and featureless, even when they are also made from reinforced concrete. Modern tools, computers, and electricity don't make it any harder to add detailing (and it's also hard to believe such features become harder to afford as society became wealthier in general).
Frankly, I'm shocked you made it to page 1 of HN with your second point. Be prepared for the armies of trolls who are going to harass you over that one, never mind the repeated finding that the r² between lifetime odds of being in a car accident and IQ (as a proxy for g) exceeds 0.8, along with other strong statistical correlation between IQ and lifespan, lifetime income, being nominated for a nobel prize, winning a nobel prize, and that's still just scratching the surface.

In fact, if you add up all correlations, adjusted for strength, existing research suggests there is no other single data point (age, race, gender, sex, religion, country of birth, parent(s) SES, parent(s) educational attainment, disability, BMI, standardized test scores, etc) that predicts as much, as powerfully as IQ (again, as a proxy for g) does.

I am not taking a position for or against these findings, and it's fair to note that all of these findings occur within the broader paradigm of the replication crisis, affecting even the most prolific studies oft cited for some of the most widespread beliefs held by the scientific community, which more or less weakens the "signal to noise ratio" of the scientific community's consensus, so take those studies I've mentioned with as much a grain of salt as any other.

For anyone downvoting this comment, could I please ask why, or at least whether for ideological reasons (i.e. you disagree with the ideas I am discussing) or form (i.e. tone is wrong, appears disingenuous, etc). I respect your right to do so, but I intentionally attempted to maintain an inoffensive, neutral, unbiased stance here. As a non-neurotypical person, common perception can be difficult for me to absorb without explicit feedback, so any feedback is appreciated.
I'm not ham operator so I'm just guessing here, but they may be talking about interference at the receiver. The new signal may be so strong and near enough ham band, that even after attenuation by typical band-pass filter it's still the strongest component and will overwhelm input stage amplifier. Trivial solution for that would be adding a band-stop filter tuned for the frequencies used for HFT but that again may add noise and attenuate nearby frequencies.
> Btw, a "tick" in trading is the minimum up/down movement of an asset (e.g. 0.25 points on NQ, or 0.01 on TSLA).

This is true, but the term is overloaded: if I say "the exchange slid the price one tick to comply with Reg. NMS" then I'm using it in the sense you mean; if I say "the model recomputes on each tick" then I'm using it in the sense of the GP.
I'm not sure

print(firstname, lastname)

for example is more readable than

print((firstname, lastname))

especially since I would then have to write

print((surname,))

to just print a single string.

Variadic functions are rather classic, I think Go, Rust, C and JavaScript also have them.

Thanks for the recommendations, I will check them out.

I appreciate the point about seriousness too. One part of it that I liked kind of feels like travel writing from the last century (e.g. John Muir) that goes in and out of various subjects with respect to the main one. On the other hand, the author shows their 'seriousness' and culture by being able to reference and talk about the subject in the context of many other subjects. If I try to do this it probably feels pretentious, so I admire the skill of being able to pull it off.

> They propose using really high power which could cause interference but interference is illegal.

Let me be a little bit pedantic here. High power itself does not cause interference, assuming that the unwanted sidebands are sufficiently suppressed. That is an engineering challenge, because modulation of any sort creates sidebands that put power on either side of the carrier. Higher modulation rates lead to more power in the sidebands. Secondly, any non-linearities in the power amplifier chain will also cause unwanted sideband emissions. That said, keeping your unwanted emissions outside of your allocated spectrum down to legal levels is "only" an engineering challenge. So the question to ask here is at the power levels they are asking for, is it practical to construct a transmitter that will keep unwanted sideband power down to acceptable levels?

A second issue is on the receiving side. And this gets challenging to explain easily -- but there is a concept in receiver design called "dynamic range", which is the difference in received signal strength between "minimum detectable signal" and the point where a strong signal causes 3dB of gain compression to set in at the first receive amplifier. A second concept is reciprocal mixing and 3rd-order-intercept, but I won't try to explain -- the bottom line is all receivers have a limit to how much undesired signal they can reject before the receiver front-end becomes non-linear and starts creating undesired mixing products. The undesired signal transmitter may be perfectly clean and legal, but the receiver on the other end just collapses like a gym bro that tried to bench too much. Part of the FCC's mandate is to make sure that users of other spectrum, using reasonably-well engineered receivers, can survive in the RF environment created by transmitters in unrelated spectrum. To put into other words, transmitting a perfectly clean signal that is so strong that it is impractical that, say, a consumer-price-point broadcast radio receiver has no chance of surviving should not be allowed, and certainly the commercial broadcasters are going to object.
I think it has more to do with the fact that we expect better from India and Bangladesh, whereas we all know about how Pakistan functions.
Domain names have existed for about 50 years [1], much longer than web browsers or blogs, so them being around for another 100 doesn't seem like a stretch. But I would agree that their relevance will diminish further.

I don't have to imagine; it tends to lead to hard-to-maintain 'clever' code, with little ability to deal with less-than-clear requirements.
I agree with their take. I have lost a significant amount of weight and the mechanics was certainly calories in < calories out. What makes it difficult for obese people is that you need a sustained caloric deficit for a long period and your body makes it really difficult to do that.

I was successful using a high fat low carb (keto) diet only because the calories I ate from fat helped activate my satiety feelings better than other diets and that helped me control my caloric intake for 2 years. Other diets I had tried failed to trigger that satiety level and made them unsustainable.
I've seen the argument being made that some people's bodies are highly resistant to attempts at weight loss.

Something along the lines of that if they try to go on a diet the body will fight the attempt to use stored fat so hard that they'll end up with low blood sugar and faint.

I don't recall the exact argument being made but I think that's the overall gist -- not that it's possible to somehow violate thermodynamics, but that for some people it may be near impossible in practice while remaining healthy/functional for weird internal biochemistry reasons.

You're imagining this change happening in a world where people still care about Wordpress.

Try imagining instead, a world where Wordpress is already a dead technology that nobody would use for a greenfield project, and it's only "legacy" sites that haven't been modified in 10 years (but which are owned by brick-and-mortar companies that continue faithfully paying the hosting bills every month) that are still hosted on Wordpress.com.

Can you not then see the value in some company buying up Wordpress.com, and migrating its customers over to a Wordpress-compatibility-shim over their own service that's based on a not-dead technology?

The typeface designer can't fix broken/inconsistent OS rendering. Still, I would've asked for a refund so the creator is aware and could avoid other potential customers.

The point is you might think that if you were blissfully unaware of anything else. Even if you're not you shouldn't, because edge directed upscaling is imagining information into the sensor data that isn't actually there.
I find this misleading.

Today, most fonts in practical use are open source fonts. When someone chooses a font for a web project, they typically pick something from Google fonts, which are all open source licensed. Android, the most common OS, uses open source fonts like Roboto by default which are also open source.

The article does not mention open source at all, it has one mention of Google Fonts which is kinda misleading ("the latter of which gives away fonts for free" - well, not really, many of these fonts are not from google and were already free, google is just providing a font hosting service).

An accurate statement would be one company dominates the proprietary font market, which is however only a small share of overall font use.

This is kind of my point, Sagan was a great science communicator but really missed the mark here.

A solid wood table is not mostly empty by any common contextual definition. Photons do not pass through it freely, your hand won't pass through it freely, and the electron clouds of the carbon atoms in the wood are physical in almost every common sense of the term. They very much push back on any other electron cloud that comes near enough and are generally the only part of the atom that does the interacting.

While it might be true that almost all the mass is concentrated in the center of the atom, that's not what people mean by empty. Houses aren't considered empty just because most of the mass is in the foundation.

Your definition of left is based on a set of issues, not on philosophy, which is not how such things are defined and thus is erroneous. There is two axes, so left/right is definitely oversimplification but it is very clearly defined.

Left/Right is split on economics, almost entirely, and specifically on the topic of private property vs public property and where the line is drawn, inclusive of many things besides real estate that count as “property”. Philosophically it is a split between Collectivism and Individualism, and almost all conflicts revolve around duty to self vs duty to society.

There are very left-wing political movements in history, including arguably the most “successful” and powerful that were pro-censorship, against free speech, and explicitly warmongering. “Anti-establishment” is a meaningless term, whoever is currently in power is the “establishment”, regardless of anything else.

HN is far more left than the typical viewpoint in the US, which is the country that dominates discussion here. The US has no true left-wing major party, but the closest thing we have (neoliberal globalists with collectivist views on social responsibility) is not only the party currently in power, but arguably put there by significant financial support from individuals and companies in tech.

You can take that or interpret that however you want, I’m agreeing with the GP to my original comment.
Taking a note from an answer up above, "the thing that needs to be revisited is implementation of agile processes / scrum in companies/projects".

Coming to another answer, where we see the management itself lacks interest in the process and rather asks to complete the task asap, it does raise question about the process.

Pycharm has the worst type checker that exists today.
It may have been the best a few years back but others have suppressed it considerably.

I recently switched from Pycharm to vscode which uses pyright and it's night and day on the amount of type errors it catches, it considerably improved the quality of my code and confidence during refactoring.

And to add insult to injury Pycharm doesn't even have a pyright plugin and the mypy plugin is extremely slow and buggy.
