Developers didn't understand event delegation, so entire codebases were filled with $.live, on and off events. If you componentized behaviors with jQuery it wasn't all that bad, although I'll admit it could get somewhat gnarly.

The problem, from what I saw was nested forms and trying to hold state on the client when the server should have been asked for the state. This lead to template duplication and trying to hold too much state on the client.
In the last few years after all the health craze of the 2010s a lot of tv shows and movies have smoking actors again AND speaking as a German HHC (a variant of THC... imagine THC light) is not yet banned in Germany and every gas station, vape shop or kiosk is selling it. In Europe a joint is basically what in the US is a split so everyone is mixing their weed with tobacco. It's probably just a coincidence but there is a lot of weed smell in the cities right now.

> Everything except for software development can be done on a smartphone.

That sounds like a little too broad a generalization.

A typical office worker who creates or consumes documents, presentations, accesses corporate apps (half of them still 90s tech with lipstick), submit proposals to clients, review others' work, attending multiple hours long zoom calls with screenshare, etc ... are still using at least 13" laptop screens to do a lot of their day to day work.

Sure a sales executive or a senior manager might get away by just typing one liner commands to minions on their smartphone, hitting approve buttons on expense apps, and just listening into team calls, etc. -- but lower in the hierarchy where the real numbers and usage are ... we still have physical keyboards and mice, and decent sized screens (often multiple monitors) to help us stay productive.

Just speculating out loud, but in some cases, having a recruitment process that fails might be the goal.

Some manager might want a recruitment process to fail to promote their favored internal candidates, or to justify going the H1B route.

To do that, you might need a horrible recruitment process that is repellent to the best job candidates that fails so your desired outcome happens.
Word pad was basically Word for Windows 6 and was quite usable for basic needs. Really only finally out to pasture by the free Google Docs, I’m sure wordpad killed a decent ecosystem of editors that may one day have competed with Word.

What do you consider "typical"? In Europe, Greece is by far a massive outlier with about 30% self employed". No other European country comes close (I think Italy is second, about 10 percentage points lower, but not sure). In other words, in no European country is it anywhere close to being more typical to be self employed than being employed. The vast majority of people negotiate a salary, not a self-employed rate.

That it is part of the calculation for the employer is irrelevant - so is office costs, admin overheads, software licenses, equipment, yet we don't consider those costs deductions from an employees salary and bump the "real" salary up accordingly.
In case you want a heads-up about a typo in your post: I see the word segway, which is the trademark name of a two-wheeled personal transport device. I believe you meant to use the verb “segue” instead.

I have lived in each of the regions that they divided the US into. For all of it's research and verbiage, I am surprised that the article fails to directly mention two common sense factors:

1. Regional and cultural diet habits:

>“There’s a reason why the Southeastern portion of this country is called the Stroke Belt: It’s because the rates of stroke per capita are substantially higher there and mirrored by rates of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity and other risk factors.”

Well isn't a major causality of these risk factors the fact that the common diet of this region consists of every protein source being either deep fried or extremely fatty pork cuts? All of the deep fried foods are breaded (adding carbs) and all the fatty pork cuts are slathered in sugary sauce. Thus all of the common foods give you a terrible ratio of macro nutrients.

2. Access and tolerability of outdoor spaces:

The prevalence of biting insects and extreme humidity make it extremely uncomfortable to do any serious outdoor exercise in many of the poor health regions. Paths and trail accessibility is abysmal in many of these poor health regions as well.

Both of these factors effect the native born locals and keep the healthier people out.

Show HN: Modular Diffusion – A modular Python library for diffusion models
Hello everyone! I've been working on this project for a few months as part of my thesis in Machine Learning. It's meant to be a library that provides an easy-to-use but flexible API to design and train Diffusion Models. I decided to make it because I wanted to quickly prototype a Diffusion Model but there were no good tools to do it with. I think it really can help people prototype their own Diffusion Models a lot faster and only in a few lines of code.

The base idea is to have a Model class that takes different modules corresponding to the different aspects of the Diffusion Model process (noise schedule, noise type, denoising network, loss function, guidance, etc.) and allow the user to mix and match different modules to achieve different results. The library ships with a bunch of prebuilt modules and the plan is to add many more. I also made it super easy to implement your own modules, you just need to extend from one of the base classes available.

Contrary to HuggingFace Diffusers, this library is focused on designing and training your own Diffusion Models rather than finetuning pretrained ones (although this is possible).

I would really appreciate your feedback.
I feel like at some point we should be holding Amazon responsible for deliberately creating a situation where it obfuscates culpability as much as possible for the fake quality of its products.

We crossed that line a while ago in my mind, when Amazon glibly allowed the Chinese junk product market, which it sends ambassadors to instruct on how to best ~~exploit its product, users~~ utilize it services to send dangerous products in the past.

"But it's impossible to police every product that's listed on the storefront!"

It is somewhat surprising to see the latest voting records are from 2018 as I seem to recall there have been votes in 2020 and 2022 as well?

Federal election for Senator went between DEM - Dianne Feinstein and DEM - Kevin De Leon. The former won like she has done for the last two centuries. Representatives also all won by DEMs. State also went to DEMs for all electable positions.

It is also remarkable to see that Alameda County largely votes by mail - only about ¼ of the votes are cast on election day, the remaining ¾ are cast by mail.

That is how they vote in Oakland, CA and that is most likely how they will keep on voting even now that the chickens have come home to roost.
Type safe sql is a feature of most every production quality db library I’ve used going back 20 years. You don’t need the complexity of an orm to get that.

As for trivial boilerplate, I tend to find that trivial boilerplate no more troubling than any of the other compromises orms require, whether that’s polluting my data model with sql concerns or making me conform to db practices that aren’t correct for my needs.

And I’ve got extensive experience with orm going back a long time, including Entity Framework (which is a good orm that I’d still prefer not to use).

> Not really - it shows nuanced understanding that some content by itself / with a small audience doesn't cause harm, but the company doesn't not want to amplify it. Protects peoples speech but also declines to promote them to a bigger audience.

Putting aside the issue of what specific content causes harm or not (which is a very contentious issue), my issue with this kind of justification is that it puts mega-corporations in a position to have their cake and eat it too.

With a straight face, depending on their audience, Google can claim to both not be censoring content at the same time as they're claiming to be censoring content. This feels like they're putting themselves in a position to walk a legal tightrope on what they're actually doing and flout any laws they want.

ChatGPT is (was) not good at ascii art.

Some months ago I tried to make it draw me an ascii rose and some text. I even tried providing it the ascii art for the rose and the text.

Finally I did it by hand.

BTW, in your example it's not using only # and _, it's using other ascii symbols. Depending on the criteria it could be considered wrong.

> Yet, politically the idea gets simplified to lowering taxes will always increase revenue which is false.

It's not so much that the idea was simplified to push a political agenda: Arthur Laffer himself, when popularizing the concept (with the eponymous Laffer Curve[1]), used it as an argument against tax raise in the US.

So the big problem with economics is not so much that its results are being hijacked by politicians to push their agenda, it's that most of them (at least most of the prominent ones) are in fact pushing their ideologies through their publications.

The world's population of over 8 billion people cannot adopt the same diet as Americans do. If everyone did, we would require more than 5 Earths to sustain such consumption, which unfortunately, we do not possess.

Plant-based diet is the only one that can feet 10 billion people.

Vegans don't require plant-based meats. We're happy eating fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds. These products are being developed for carnivores to facilitate an easier transition for them.

It's not an abomination; it's plant-based protein. Currently, we already consume 63% of our protein from plant sources, and 82% of our calories come from plants.

You can easily prepare plant-based meat at home by mixing plant-based protein (essentially flour), water, salt, spices, and a spoonful of oil. Cook the mixture using steam or in vegetable stock. It's that simple.

Oh hey David Schaum has entered the chat to shill their thing
That was my first take as well, but after reading some of the previous articles by the author, it's not really about the size of elements on the screen. It's more about being able to "zoom" into information in a system, which is a part of the user selecting their own view of data in complex systems.

No good UX should mess with literal zooming of web elements. I'm looking at responsive design and zoom-disabling apps in particular.

But when an app presents me with an interface to a ton of data, like Spotify giving me access to practically all the music I could ever care about, I would like to customize that interface as much as possible. Let's say, sometimes I might want to find the most popular music in a region, another time I might want to find sort regions by how much a particular song is popular. Maybe I might want to figure out the average length of all Jazz pieces, or the average volume.

The author talks about being able to achieve that through UX instead of SQL queries in general, and in this post -- about the specific idea of asking the UX to give more context about an element.
Honestly, I'm just waiting for the Linux community to figure itself out with Wayland/X and get a bit more stable and I'll probably be switching. The only question in the air for me is how I'm going to manage my cloud files (I've gotten used to having filesystem sync between multiple devices) as the existing offerings seem more or less meh.
Finger snapping is fascinating too. I always assumed the sound happens when your finger rubs quickly against your thumb. But it’s actually after that, when your finger strikes the fleshy part of your thumb. You can verify this by blocking your finger from striking your hand.

So it’s actually more like finger clapping. The “snap” part just lets you build energy for the “clap” part. Maybe obvious to some but I amazingly only learned this later in life.
