I'm old enough that my father worked for one of those "golden age" companies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wometco_Enterprises

It was a conglomerate, starting with theaters then adding TV and other entertainment, plus soft drink bottling and more.

The individual companies were well funded, they had plenty of staff, and there cross-company staff discounts. My dad worked for the TV station WTVJ and we got discounts to go to the movie theaters owned by Wometco.

There was a yearly Christmas party for staff and family, and the Wometco would be flown in by helicopter, dressed as Santa.

After his death it got bought by KKR in a LBO, split up, and sold for parts. Staff was greatly reduced and overworked. The Christmas party was no more.
Hi there! Thank you for the post and your work on pgzx!
Though it depends on the system (cockroachdb can place leaders on specific nodes to speed up local queries, it has global tables and otherwise there's always follower-reads) those are of course valid reasons.
Admittedly if you want to keep data "pinned", you're into manual placement, rather than horizontal scaling but that's nitpicking and there's pros and cons.
I do enjoy the freedom of Postgres and am hopeful that its virtually prehistoric storage-design becomes a non-issue thanks to tech such as Neon and Orioledb. The option to decouple storage would provide wonderful flexibility for solutions like yours too I think.
I think this problem is a bit overblown, as we tend to get very angry at the relatively few offending ones, and fail to notice the case where it just works. So might be just some human bias over-amplification.

Like, there are websites that absolutely suck, but that’s mostly due to some idiotic management decision to add 4 different tracking bullshit libraries, and download 6 ads per click. Thinking about the regular software I use.. could it be better? Certainly. But it is very far from unusable.

The problem with defending against this "attack vector" orchestrated by Tijme Gommers and MobiMe is that you basically have to check your apps intermittently to make sure they haven't been sold and disable all updates, as you say.

The lesson I've learned is: don't trust anything on the app store controlled by a single guy. In the end the incentive structure is there for him to sell all my data and fuck me over, and indeed that is exactly what he did. Now I just use Apple's own TOTP manager. It's not open source, but they are not incentivised to fuck me over in the way Tijme Gommers did, at least.

You're composing in the wrong abstration layer, you just use the both classes and if you need any extra stuff you want, then you just create a selector for `.btn-warning.warning-text.my-btn` and as the selector is more specific than the classes that is uses then you can override the functionality it inherits.

Mayhap your grandpa said the same about his now worthless piano or car. In my experience grandchildren don't usually want their grandparent's furniture... That is why you can buy it so cheaply at the second hand shop. That expensive sofa ends up at the dump not the vintage store: nobody wants it.

If you want classic furniture then buy the best second hand stuff. Why bother getting it made?
You can see in the replies here and everywhere else that the people want war. Because surely this time it is different. Governments and media made the EU citizens ready for war in the span of a few weeks. It"s truly scary.
All that people have to do is vote for the Pirate Party. There are people holding the line in Europe, but the population is worried about war and immigration instead of net neutrality and encryption. These are understandable priorities but it'll not be good.
Sure, but that is over-complicating it a bit for the purposes of what anakaine wrote. An A.G. is a politician with the current executive government and consults with same group of people who organise the whips for legislative votes when making decisions.

That isn't differentiating the process from the US except in a cosmetic fashion. If a judge could get the whips' support in the US for a vote then they can get the AG's support in Australia through the same channels. If 51% of the ALP party room disagrees with Quigley's choices he is going to make different choices. Although there is also an argument that it'd be easier to get partisan results because only the AG has to be shameless and he is already selected as someone deeply embedded in politics. If there is a difference I assume it would be who is allowed to be in the candidate pool.

It sounds like you're blaming CSS for the shortcomings of the library you're using.

CSS cascades, embrace it rather than fighting it.

Have a .btn rule that styles all your buttons. Have a .warning one that makes it yellow. Then instead of `<button class="btn-warning">` use `<button class="btn warning">`.

Or just use Sass instead!

The bit about "lifestyle business" always being uttered in contempt resonated with me.

Ask HN: What are your top problems with Stripe?
GP is making understandable misunderstanding due to how the three Far East countries are presented in the world at large, that there are three countries in Asia that practically touches each others, just like Germany is with Belgium and Netherlands in Europe.

Tokyo from Beijing(2000km/1200mi) is about as far out as Paris to Kyiv. Far East countries are also separated by seas, like Mediterranean countries across the sea. I doubt a lot of Parisians have meaningful ideas of "basically Latin" Ukrainian any way or form, or Italians with Tunisian, but there's such false instinct that forms out of above-mentioned presentation that those Asians are rather next door neighbors.

That and mistaking personal difficulties and inefficiencies associated with understanding languages in non-native manners as inferiority of the foreign one.

Cars don't pay for their costs and it's not close. Fuel tax doesn't even cover a small fraction of infrastructure cost in most European countries. Building roads is heavily subsidized from federal budgets, land given for free, accident costs covered by public money etc. etc.

I once had the pleasure of working with my university’s glass blowing department —- I was building a digital hydrometer for an undergraduate embedded systems class and needed a custom glass housing.

I remember my first visit fondly, as the glass blower helped narrow in on a more simple design using mostly “standard” tubes, and then eagerly agreed to build the one custom piece. I came back a day or two later and the result was perfect.

This was at UMich circa ~2012.

>My understanding is that the UK removed clauses that would undermine Signals security.

My understanding is that the law empowers the regulator (Ofcom) to require the use of accredited scanning technology if they consider it necessary and proportionate. No further changes to the law are necessary for that to happen.

But as of now, no such accredited technology exists. It seems likely that any client-side scanning technology that the EU mandates would also get accreditation in the UK.

> Or just use Sass instead!

Maybe I was unclear: my gripe is that this functionality is such a necessary thing to have, that external non-spec third-party tools have to be used to get this functionality.

It is a shortcoming of CSS, because CSS is not providing this functionality that users want.

The fact that everyone is using a third party tool to get this functionality only reinforces my point: if everyone is doing it, then it's a shortcoming.

I do this, but it ends up being `class="<godawful number of named classes?"` and is prone to breakage when you need to update or modify a theme.

I can imagine exactly what that thumb would feel like if it was integrated with my nervous system. Wondering how common this is.

When I was a very small child, I was fascinated by the sensation of different body parts - the way touching each finger in turn compares to the next, and the way the opposite side has a similar range of sensations. It feels like I know exactly how it would feel to have a sixth, seventh finger in sequence with the others. I imagine that having a second right arm grafted below my current one would have the 'right' but 'lower' feeling and I could use it immediately. But there's no way to test whether this is just a childish imagining that has stayed with me.

do you have any bookmarked/favorite indie websites? I'm always on a hunt for them so if you don't mind sharing, please.
You can think of it in terms of simpler concept: "giving people free stuff causes more people to take free stuff".

Cars and infrastructure for them is heavily subsidized so building more if it (giving free stuff away) induces more people to use it.

As car infrastructure has a cost which car drivers don't cover building more if it is very expensive for everyone else that's why we shouldn't want more if it.
Sure, people are happy at the moment with a diet they've been on for up to 2 decades..

Meanwhile, child development under this diet would be child abuse given how little we know.

We know that people who skip certain vegetables have heightened risk of cancers, those vegetables contain chemicals not in meat.

We can conclude from the study that a vegetarian diet is competitive with an omnivore diet, maybe a little better, maybe a little worse.

From this I would assume that vegetables themselves are an important factor that was a free variable in the studies with vegetarians getting more but not necessarily better quality.

Thus vegetables matter a lot to longevity, and meat is filler that may or may not have aspects directly killing you like all the other non vegetable filler and poorer nutrition portion of vegetables.

You can't get to absolutes with the low quality of nutrional studies or meta studies across them.. But you can get to a Bayesian estimate of how poor a gamble people are making on things like excluding a whole category where some reasonable conclusions occurred within the category.
Then it doesn't respect the users enough to be considered free software. The user must be free to do whatever he wants, even sending a plaintext copy to Google.

This was a particular passion project of mine a while back. I tried building a haptic compass that could be worn on the wrist and discovered that that the actual haptics mattered a lot.

Ok, a specific example: by a weird twist of fate, my country outlawed abortion (in most cases). Currently it's easy for affected women to travel somewhere and get help. Some people don't like it.
