Could the solution to a complex cloud like AWS and Google be a simpler cloud like Digital Ocean is attempting to create? I find their offerings much easier to decipher and their onboarding journey developer-friendly. This is as opposed to AWS where I reckon a certification is needed just to navigate the mess of services it offers and to securely deploy those services without creating a security vulnerability for your organization.
Yeah, scoped css is key to reducing all sorts of complexity.

The BEM approach in all is craziness is basically an attempt at scoping. And then tailwind too is trying to solve many if the same problems, from the opposite direction. In both cases people end up using their component frameworks and JavaScript libraries to build new abstractions atop the hacks to try and scope css, and the pile grows.

Real scoped css with @scope has actually landed in latest Chrome and Safari, but Firefox are dragging their feet.

Think not about the hours you have spent, but about the hours remaining in your life. They are finite. Do you want to spend more of them on that thing that has turned dreary? If you can afford it, it's usually better to call it a day and free up time and mental energy for something new and better.
On the topic of how our "Activation" pathways (used when we recall information) stay primed for hours after learning.

This had me wondering on the power of building a "warm up" exercise when we're trying to solve a problem - can we brute force an optimal activation hot paths for better problem solving (obviously it would be highly individual - but presumably such a thing exists given this fact).

It seems you would need a routine per category of problem, but none the less there may be more value than we think in spending 5 minutes just asking/answering some probing questions around the domain in question, before trying to solve the problem.
It doesn't seem like there is any relevant "former management" though?

The guy who is spearheading the case worked there during the time the promise was made and then for sometime after. So he either didn't mention it to the new owners on purpose (unlikely), or more likely, he has evidence the deal was acknowledged or at least known about by new management and still was not paid.

The lawsuit was filed in June by Mark Schobinger, the company's former head of compensation, on behalf of himself and thousands of other current and former employees.

He left in May, the promises were made sometime before he left and the case was established in June.

Sounds like the information was available but someone didn't do their due diligence and ask enough about the compensation structure before finalizing the acquisition ?

I don't think you're alone, i have the same "issue"
Falcon 9 is already somewhat sensitive to launch weather conditions, given that it is very long and thin (pencil-like). Scrubs because of inclement weather are not unusual, in contrast to, say, Russian Soyuz, which can take about everything that the Kazakh steppe can throw at it.

If you need to optimize for both the launch weather and the landing site weather, your launch windows are even more limited. At the end of the day, losing an occassional booster isn't a reputational problem; losing the payload would be.
Moderation != Censorship. Any online community without moderation is doomed. By now we have decades of proof for this, so I'm baffled that people still don't understand it.
Poor communication, in some shape or form, is almost always the problem.
Verbal contracts are still contracts. The previous management was acting on behalf of a company, so they created the liability for the company. When you acquire a company you acquire all the liabilities and assets of that company, you don't get to pick and choose. Similarly, companies cannot pick and choose which liabilities they have to pay even if they are losing money. If a company genuinely cannot pay a liability they can declare bankruptcy and let the courts sort it out.
Or better yet find out how to prevent cancers since it's better to not be sick than to treat you once you are sick.

Things like the HPV vaccine which in my province saw a 90% drop in just a few years. I think everyone should get it no questions asked which maybe they don't anymore?

The Hepatitis B vaccine too since having the disease is a cause of liver cancer.

But if all else fails it's also good to have a tools to try to get rid of cancers.
An enhanced immune system would functionally be a “cure for virus”.

It’s conceivable we could find a technique that targets and ruptures any cancer cell, functionally becoming a “cure for cancer”.
IMO it's probably better for everyone, including the environment, to concentrate these data centers in random out of the way places rather than trying to, say, further cram them into pieces of San Francisco or Seattle. People like to live by nature, and the nice places are already super impacted.

These centers aren't going to make a meaningful difference vs your average industrial factory, solar farm, farm farm, etc. But spreading them out will mean less efficient cooling, transportation of goods and labor, less efficient routing, etc. and have climatic impacts.

The industrialization of the countryside is also providing jobs in areas that would typically be extremely depressed or resort to resource extraction economies to survive.
> You used a humorous comment I made (like I've seen others do once in a while) as an example of low quality comment so I avoid any sort of humor on HN now.

:/ this is sad
The current management waived all rights to due diligence in the deal. They can’t complain now to learn facts they refused to engage with earlier.
Synergy has some bugs they just don't seem to care about. For instance, if you use a macOS host, the calculation of where your cursor on a Windows/Linux client uses the macOS acceleration curve, but the actual movement of cursors does not. So you end up switching back unintentionally trying to do things on the third of the windows screen closest to your host.
> It seems like a gap in the law/regulation if a former owner (in this case, the pre-Elon Twitter management) can make verbal pronouncements that the new owner is beholden to, without a paper trail. With that said, the complaint does state that promises were made post-acquisition, although this is only mentioned once.

Ownership doesn't change contracts. Verbal agreements are also agreements, just harder to prove.

What matters is who had the power to make such agreements at the time. Management made a contract on behalf of Twitter at the time. Promises after firing management would have little meaning.

> It seems even more puzzling to enforce this on non-profitable private companies. The precedent that would be set here would severely undermine the ability of a private company to operate if it came in far under revenue targets, and was beholden to pay out bonuses to employees.

All depends on the conditions for the bonus. A promise is a promise. If you buy a car, but then have a large medical bill and can't pay for it, you'll still need to pay for the car.

> It's EVEN more puzzling that Twitter, a Delaware corp owned by X, a Nevada corp, is being sued by an employee based in Texas, under California law.

Why is that puzzling? Twitter has its HQ in California.
“What does debilitating really mean? I could always get the work done, and get it done well, but at significant cost to my mental energy.”

https://github.com/styluslabs/ugui/issues/1
> whilst Win32 programs have the blurry text but crisp buttons thing.

Win32 applications have to announce that they are "High DPI aware", either via a manifest file or programmatically at startup (the details have changed several times between Windows XP and Windows 10). Failing to do so results in an upscaled, blurry UI, and failing to use the latest API may result in some features not working (such as automatic adjustment when moving a window between monitors with different DPI).
Wow!! Very cool! I tried to use a KVM to switch from my personal macbook, work macbook, and gaming computer.... the hardware was awful, I had just ended up manually switching. The gaming computer had its own keyboard&mouse, so it was just switching the monitor (and there would be horrendous latency).

Anyway, I think this space has tons of low hanging fruit for improvement. And so many KVM products are insanely priced, and they're not even good.

Also how the ADuM1201 works is very cool!
I mean the lawyers behind Prenda Law were disbarred and sent to jail for their outrageous copyright trolling in large part because they abused the justice system. Judges don't like it when you do that. They can and do bust lawyers and law firms all the time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prenda_Law

I think the main issue here is, if you're a victim of DMCA fraud it's hard to get a case in front of a judge because of the way the law is written. But that doesn't mean it will never happen, and if it does I absolutely feel like a judge might set a precedent which curtails the practice, because judges by nature tend to take a dim view of abuse of process.

Good question, the "verify" option, where you could watch old of our image-colors signature, will only reveal part of the colors , (maybe will be pay-per reveal, and one part will be never revealing and other part random), so if somebody try to tamper with the archive will not work.
If someone is preper and he build a "strategy" (not so common) he could be recording the webpage stamp, and so yes it could kinda fake the timestamp video. because of that this works reliable for: trust something is live; or the video has the timeevidence timestamp AND he uploads it to a 3rd party social network (so 2 timestamps) the timeevidence video (is not old) and the social network timestamp ("uploaded today at..." so its verified in the now, also without time to tamper ). This is common rutine at "identity verification" or sending "rental conditions" etc
Was the mayor completely helpless to these phenomena?

I mean it's only in hindsight that we can look back and say that these things happened. At the time, they were slowly happening over many years. Surely someone who served as mayor for decades may have had some power to help stem "white flight" and deindustrialization.

A pattern I've seen a lot especially in big US cities is hard-leaning leadership getting elected, leading to many people who are capable of leaving doing so. This makes it even easier to elect hard-leaning leadership, which then makes even more of the same people leave. It creates a self-reinforcing cycle, and then residents of these cities end up blaming their issues on anything other than what they voted for. As a result, I'm skeptical of claims like these.
Just wondering if I could bring this up for discussion but is Buy it for Life a good consumer philosophy in the first place?

Intuitively it sounds like it is — what can be bad about high quality products that last forever that in turn creates less waste?

But I have lots of BIFL goods that I’ve enjoyed once or twice but never used again. Some got obsolete, unfashionable and almost all are overbuilt to some extent so they last a long time. Others are in a drawer because my interests shifted (like my very high quality immersion circulator for my sous vide phase). They were also much pricier to start with. There’s also an unintended consequence almost — like EDC people buying way more EDC stuff that they can EDC so they can optimize for EDC.

What would happen if we were the buy the right quality for the right use case at the right time and buy as little as possible?

BIFL optimizes for quality and longevity but those aren’t always things that are important. Optimization always trades something off and having a narrow objective doesn’t always work. I guess you can always resell.
New owners are still subject to existing contracts. This isn’t strange.
Wow. This looks just like what I been wanting for a while.
Most monitors have 2-3 inputs. Mine has a desktop, a laptop, and occasionally my phone attached to it, using HDMI, DP, and another DP / USB-C respectively.

Unless you switch really often and want subsecond switching time, three's no need to even use a KVM to switch the monitor.

The best engineers of those respective countries are not working at "large global companies" either. Large companies that hire engineers - outsourced or otherwise - into cost centers fail to hire top engineers.

Most digital computers are Turing complete, but interestingly not all programming languages are Turing complete.

Turing completeness is a tar pit that makes your code hard to analyse and optimise. It's an interesting challenge to find languages that allow meaningful and useful computation that are not Turing complete. Regular expressions and SQL-style relational algebra (but not Perl-style regular expressions nor most real-world SQL dialects) are examples familiar to many programmers.

Programming languages like Agda and Idris that require that you prove that your programs terminate [0] are another interesting example, less familiar to people.

[0] It's slightly more sophisticated than this: you can also write event-loops that go on forever, but you have to prove that your program does some new IO after a finite amount of time. (Everything oversimplified here.)

That's not a great criterium. Exam questions are going to be discussed in many places, similar to how you can get answers to interview questions by learning from Reddit.
Forza targets 30fps on the XBX when RT mode is enabled. 30fps is not an uncommon target for consoles today.

There are no compatibility concerns with refresh rates:fps. And there are TVs but more importantly monitors that exceed 120hz.

COD doesn’t reach a steady 120 fps on consoles — a VRR display is helpful with the fps dips as low as 60 fps.
At least one of the three answered the question "correctly", so they would have gotten a worse score after rescoring, provided they answered anything else incorrectly.
One problem is that nobody is ripping UHD versions of these shows/movies. This is one reason I still pay for Netflix/Prime. After seeing UHD/HDR/DV on a large OLED I can't go back. "Quality" OCD kicks in.

Women have been part of the field of computer science since the very beginning. Ada Lovelace has a language named after her and arguably was the first programmer. She programmed the at that point theoretical machine created by Charles Babbage. The pattern of female programmers continues when computers really became practical. During WW II, Bletchley park was famously staffed by female computers. And the Eniac had several female mathematicians working on it. A female mathematician named Margaret Hamilton became a programmer at Nasa and ended up heading the team that built the on board flight software for the Appollo program. She also later coined the term software engineering.

It's true that not a lot of woman pursue careers in math, science, etc. That's true today even when there are fewer obstacles than ever for them to do so and a lot of companies, universities, etc. are under pressure to have diversity in their staff and leadership.

You're not wrong there. On further reflection I see it's not tech per se, but maybe more broadly; jobs people didn't choose, but ended up in. If you weren't interested enough to choose your job, then obviously you won't have motivation to do it well.

I generally agree that treating the symptoms will lead to people continuing get the majority of their calories from "junk food".

> unhealthy food habits

Fixing this will require systemic change, like 1) moving away from ultra-processed foods derived from cheap crops, 2) a ban on eye catching advertising for obviously unhealthy food, and 3) making well balanced and healthy food as cheap and assessable as unhealthy food.

Right now the debate is framed as an individual choice problem, but in my view it's a systemic public health problem like cigarettes. There needs to be regulation, from TV ads for Burger King to eye catching breakfast cereal boxes. If you manipulate human psychology with advertising and then hijack their biological mechanisms for sensing when they're full they don't really have a choice.
