Facebook developers are doing some really great stuff. For some reason it doesn't translate into a really great facebook or instagram. The experience is worse compared to 10 years ago. If they hired 10,001 of the best developers not working at facebook I think their products would be the same or worse. Is there a single person responsible for the vision?
Today there is a correlation between women’s rights and reproductive rate. I wonder if that correlation existed during the era represented in the study. If so, it must have been particularly brutal.
It tells us "why something happens" in that we observe differences in how good people are at algebra, and the "why" is that some people took this class that causally improved their scores.
In my experience there is practically no need to use multi-cursor editing if you're extracting components or partials where appropriate, as is usually the case nowadays.

There's also a difference between naming things of actual significance, which as you say may need to be localized, labeled, etc. and having to name arbitrary CSS junk like .button--state--success, which is painfully annoying. Type it up in the CSS file, switch over to the markup file (another annoyance that Tailwind helps you avoid), paste it in, repeat.
I knew Pava and her partner Sherrod before I moved out to SoCal. She was a smart, articulate go-getter in the active Maryland startup community. She organized students interested in tech startups before EcoMap. Everybody knew her and respected her. It’s just terrible news.
Yes, that's my point. You can't rely on the depth map in the image metadata to be the differentiator because it can easily be faked with depth estimation.
I'm glad they're offering these again, but in my experience covid tests have been pretty useless. I'm pretty sure I've had covid twice and despite daily testing I never actually tested positive, and talking to others they've had similar experiences.
This is a Harold McGee thing, originally, and skatole is a determinant of the gamey or barnyardy flavor of lamb as well; further, it's probably more prevalent/dominant in higher-end heritage lamb than in factory lamb.
Likewise. I ran my own MTAs for 17 years and there's nothing I want that Fastmail doesn't do - and a good bit I do that would've been (was!) at best time prohibitive to set up and run for myself.
It's sitting on some old drive somewhere. I'll probably do some digging at some point and put it on archive.org, if only for preservation.
Would this be analogous to the way that "being shot dead by a police officer in the course of their duties" isn't "murder"?

It's my goto. But I got lucky in that I was grandfathered into the cross integration.
This is already well established in humans for toxoplasmosis, for example. It’s a parasite rather than a virus, but it doesn’t seem crazy that a virus might do similar things.

> In contrast, Communism's stated goal is the achievement of a classless

What good is a stated goal if the reality is the opposite? Capitalism may not have a lofty sounding goal to your ear, but the fair trade of goods and services is actually a pursuit in the betterment and empowerment of mankind. Of course, human nature gets in the way, and leads to corruption that needs to be constantly addressed and readdressed, but that will never change no matter what system you dream up.

And while capitalism isn't draped in utpoian idealism, it has the benefit of having proven to be able to lift a huge bulk of humanity out of subsistence living.
Unity, if one of your employees makes an egregious move that is not only immoral, but also destroys the trusts of coworkers, do you fire them or forgive?
There is a note saying the tests may be expired, but it's ok because the FDA extended the expiry date. I wonder who lobbied to have that date extended, in my experience it is incredibly difficult to get the FDA to revisit things like this. Someone (Maybe USPS?) must have over ordered and didn't want to throw the extras away.
So, they're trying to reimplement all the bad ideas from the old iTunes desktop app, or something?

Every year, fewer and fewer co-workers get all my little jokes and references from 90s (and 2000s) movies. Really nails home how old you're getting. I made a silly Pulp Fiction reference in front of a group of developers, and nobody got it. I explained it and one of them said, "Man, that movie came out years before most of us were even born." Wow, arrow to the chest.
Mocking “this person paid $8 for Twitter” is already a meme, this is 1. $499 and 2. a dating app where you’re trying to look attractive. Does having a badge that someone is burning $499 a month on this increase attractiveness?

It seems less appealing than buying all of the other features but keeping the fact you paid for this completely hidden.

You could spend $499 out at bars trying to meet people, and at least you’d get 50 beers in return!

Fair point! We have a free plan (capped at 3 users) and paid plans (which add ETL and a data warehouse) start at $500 a month.
I’d advise metabase over superset.

Superset looked good, but operating superset quickly runs into the same Python issues all Python software suffers from.

Sometimes it would just break for no apparent reason. Configuring it was a nightmare of magic Python code and unclear settings. Trying to use plugins was equally painful: due to the poor boundary separating the applications dependencies from the plugins dependencies, adding a db connector could just bork the whole application.
Layperson here. “Claim of impunity” is muuuch more confusing than “claim of immunity”. The former sounds like they’re claiming that, in practice, they don’t get prosecuted (cf. “the gangs commit crimes with impunity”), rather than that they legally should not be prosecuted.
Ask HN: How would I go about selling my small B2B business?
I have a small (~50-100k$ ARR) revenue-generating b2b business that I just do not have the time to work on anymore. I would love to sell it, even for a low revenue multiple, as the alternative would be to just shut it down which seems a shame.

How would I go about selling it? Any online communities that specialize in this?
Desk-sharing offices still have 2 monitors and keyboard on each desk, you just get to sit in a different spot every time. At least that's how my company does it. (To be fair: my company allows us to work from home full time, hot-desks are there just for those rare occasions when someone needs/wants to come to the office)

There is absolutely no way I would take a train into NYC for a cheaper rental option requiring me to drive out of the city. Driving to NYC is already my fastest option but I hate doing it so I basically drive an hour in the wrong direction to catch a train.
Windows 11's new ‘Never Combine’ icons feature is almost usable
short version: Clang is only removed from the main zig executable, but it's still available via the zig build system.

longer version:
I think this is the relevant link here:
https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/16270#issuecomment-161...

as you can see the proposal "make the main zig executable no longer depend on LLVM, LLD, and Clang libraries" has "accepted" status, but that doesn't mean you can't use Clang/LLVM/LLD to compile zig/C/C++ via the zig command. In the comment the link goes directly to Andrew explains that the usecases that require Clang ... are still covered by the zig build system. (Everybody was very worried first in that GitHub issue, but was relieved after reading the clarification. To be fair, that the build system could take over this functionality wasn't known from the start, so it was a very productive discussion.)
Yeah, it's a double-edged sword. On the one hand, you are getting a lot of money and probably a great case study for your marketing material. On the other hand, you are probably going to be asked to move your product in a direction you wouldn't have otherwise taken it. Sometimes that's great, sometimes you're just a contract software engineer for much less money than you'd get doing that explicitly. You can be wary or you can be excited, every case is different.
This is basically happy hour. Though the app notification (why would I ever install a pub app?) feels like it could be a slippery slope to true dynamic pricing. Though revenue management for going to the pub seems like a poor use case.
> First you’d have to argue that only the top execs were aware of this.

They would have to be, because deniability is important for a gambit like this. I'm not sure how you would announce "we're going to psychologically manipulate our customers" to the team anyway.
The Marvin Attack – New RSA timing oracle
Based on my experience travelling abroad, the security measures are pretty similar. Some of it could be due to international travel, but I don't think that explains departure security.

In the US, there's basically nothing different. I did fly NL to Germany, and back, and it was the same (obviously still international, but within EU). It seems not that many people fly domestic in NL, and there's little reason for relaxed security (who cares if they got stabbed in NL instead of Germany?)

So I don't understand what would be cut. If the freaking dutch are doing most of the same B.S., are we really out of order? Sure we can't have liquids, but isn't this only mildly bizarre and annoying?

I thought higher octane improved efficiency by avoiding premature combustion, but that may have only been relevant before electronic fuel injection.
Damn you know that shit must be serious then if the gov is taking a break from pretending it's gone or harmless.

I wonder how much it'll help at this point. Most of the people I know with "real jobs" don't test anymore. What are you gonna do with a positive anyway, call out of work? They don't have sick leave.
OK. So, who has a good recommendation for something that:

* Variable playback speed

* Cross-device sync

* Subscribe to a podcast stream

* Selectively Queue episodes
Yes, his fiction feels more of the past other authors writing in the same period.

I grabbed a volume of his stories just now, and it starts off with a story that I would say feels very, uh, mid century, The Concentration City. Then Manhole 69, which captures some of that liminal space thing you mention. And then Chronopolis, which seems very mid century to me again.
> Does having a badge that someone is burning $499 a month on this increase attractiveness?

Unfortunately, in some demographic it does. Unfortunately there's also a demographic willing to pay $499 a month for premium tinder.
When I was in college, there was a 24-hour diner down the street from the main strip of bars. From midnight to 5AM, everything was significantly more expensive. They had two sets of menus with identical offerings but different prices and changed which ones they handed out, but were never too strict around the changeover times. If you showed up at 4:45AM and weren't drunk, they'd definitely give you the less-expensive menu.

> Books are written for one of two reasons: to make a point, or to make money.

How about to inform, to amuse or entertain, or to tell a story?

Or because the author feels compelled to write things, or is bored and needs something creative to do?
Bit of a rosy picture though. People aren't reallocated, instead they are fed opioids/various other drugs to death. There are very much winners and losers.

> We need to move away from the term "monopoly" (which may not literally be a mono) and towards anti-competitive.

Anti-trust rules cover both, with a (often complex to apply, because of the kinds of facts that need to be analyzed, but relatively well-developed) concept of “monopoly” which ultimately boils down to whether or not substitution happens in practice rather than whether there is exactly one firm ina descriptive market. There's no need to “move away” from one to the other.

This is a great perspective because, if humans acted rationally and ethically, it would be reality.

The problem I have with tools like that is the technical quality of the solution (which Wix seemed somewhat reasonable in its output when I briefly looked around at Wix sites) and the social effects. Putting together a Wix site and buying or downloading/installing a theme does not make you a Web developer.

You're still getting to the end goal of a site, but without the knowledge of how it works and, should it break, how to fix it, it's more of an appliance to you than an environment to express yourself. (using royal you, not you personally)

It's strange to me that people want to be able to "do what the nerds can", but don't want to put any of the effort forth. I would love to be a great drummer or saxophonist, but I recognize it would take years of effort and practice to reach that point. I could compose tracks using synthesized instruments, and that's its own music skill I guess, but it's definitely not the same as playing the instrument.

Which jobs are you referring to that were lost? The dot-com era? As far as I understand, a lot of web design firms still exist, and tons more freelancers make cash through selling custom themes for clients or packaged themes on Wordpress, small client-oriented web apps, etc. And, given that much of the market is on Web tech still, a lot of the skills from 20 years ago translate pretty well and can now be used to make software within the browser. In my own efforts to learn how to make webapps, I've only really had to learn flexbox and grid. Most of my old knowledge has carried over, with some slight modernization tweaks as necessary. It's nice to never need to float a div ever again, haha.

Having good tools that create good work is a goal I think most of us can get behind. The challenge lies in building the tools and promoting healthy culture.

An on-campus hotel sounds pretty great for employees visiting from other countries. When I was working at Facebook, sometimes every hotel near Menlo Park would be sold out during times like conferences when many people were coming in from out of town. You could end up having an hour commute, when you're just in California for a few days. Business travel is already stressful, and adding in a bunch of commute time just makes it worse.

Do you know anything about any WASM developments that will enable pure WASM interaction with the browser's Web-APIs at no or at a low cost without the JS layer? Sometimes I look at https://github.com/WebAssembly/proposals and it's very confusing. There are the type imports proposal(years away), the almost complete GC proposal(which is apparently only for GCd languages, but not for anything browser<->wasm), the component model(which looks and sounds as something not for the browser use case), JS String Builtins (which will provide faster JS strings, but not DOM) and ECMAScript module integration (which will turn WASM modules into ES modules, but Web-APIs aren't ES modules so no luck). Sometimes I read contributor interactions and it looks as if providing such functionality isn't their priority or even in their plans, and for the majority the WASI + component model for the cloud, crypto and similar use cases are more important.

The code is very clean, much cleaner than it could be in the “top 10” languages.

Each of those has one or other repetitive idiosyncratic syntax or constructs that you can’t do away with, and it becomes an endless source of frustration if you’re like me and bang out several thousand lines per week.

This seems like an upstream concern with distribution, no?

Nothing in this announcement indicates YouTube Music will attempt to control distribution. YouTube might give exclusive content a try (a la Spotify), but — to your point — that won't be a "podcast" in the strict client-agnostic-syndication sense.

As long as podcast creators are publishing mp3s to RSS/Atom feeds, YouTube Music is just another podcast client (like Google Podcasts was) which you're free to avoid.
Isn't this a standard way to structure a defense, to avoid a legal question by questioning standing?
You can also just accept that is "best what you can earn" with the product and earn that money on BigFish and move to the next project.

It is also perfectly fine option. I just wanted to add that it never is so clear cut and one might be having "going to the moon" ideas where product is basically in BigFish niche and no other company will really use it as much and especially other BigFish2 wont hop on the bandwagon because they are competitors and will never take risk of having some part of their business in the same pot as the other.

Even if technically it is super cool or whatever.
And I’ll do the opposite.

The thing is, we relied on the novelty of something like covid to enforce lockdowns in the first place. Without that overblown fear, voluntary compliance simply won’t be there.

And any government that wants to impose lockdowns will be forced to implement a military response, akin to what China did during covid. That kind of response + hindsight to how useless it is won’t go well.
It shouldn't matter one bit to the provider. This shouldn't be a triangular relationship at all. Provider should be providing a service for a known price. I should be able to claim to my insurance I've received said service and then they reimburse the thing. Having them negotiate in such a way that I have to pay both for insurance and then pay more for the fucking service after their deduction is some kind of insanity.

If you've ever achieved a few million views in Facebook you would appreciate that it is laughable that it can meaningfully move any needle. I figure most people would stand by that assertion.
At the root, the problem with big tech is the monopolization of people's attention. There is essentially no way to gain any meaningful exposure to users without going through big tech platforms and they limit the exposure. Even if you buy ads from them, you never know if your product is being put in front of real users or bots. They seem to favor big, established companies.

I also blame modern journalism for being heavily centered around corporate interests. They won't cover any product or tech which isn't backed by big corporations. That is a major source of anti-competitive dynamics. It feels like every journalist has been bribed to the eyeballs to only cover products from certain companies.
