Not even; around here. The benefits of McDees or fast food was it was fast and cheap. Now it is neither, and still crap quality. I'd rather spend my $6 on a much higher quality burger from a local place. Often faster even. $5 at McDees is lower quality, slower service, and just not worth it.

I don't expect a steak at McDonald's. So I compare my alternatives of where I can also get a hamburger. Every single option, is better.

So? The Olympics are really cool. And there’s always more money. Does anybody think the Olympics are what’s going to be the end of Los Angeles in 2028?
Sure, you're just adding resolution to the example. If restaurants worked like many software companies, the chefs and cooks are still cooking and dealing with the food, but also running the food, taking the order, and cleaning the kitchen, while the owners decide on the menu and who gets to cook what food.
> A Trojan introduced in Firefox to track users' browsing behavior, history and so on, in order to provide this data to advertisers, which users are actively blocking through extensions. A disaster.

If I've understood this correctly it only provides data if you (1) see an ad, and (2) later visit the advertiser's site. If you have an ad blocker that stops #1 then there shouldn't be any data if you later happen to visit the advertiser's site.

Also, the only information given to the advertiser is that you saw their ad before you visited their site.
But each channel is half the width, so we are back at the same point.
Deduct is correct verb here. Penalize might work, but deduct is fine. As there was removal of points from total as an "addition". Not removal as removing some score like points gained from winning a game.
I guess I would see a schematic like this in the context of an EDA tool which would make most of these issues moot. E.g. it is easy to find out what other nodes a specific node connects to. If for some reason you have to work from a paper or PDF schematic then I can see why these things would matter - but hopefully you don’t!

I’m not a very visual thinker, though. If it were up to me schematics would just be written out in some kind of textual representation, but EDA tooling tends to make fiddling around with schematic diagrams the blessed path.
King's Quest felt particularly bizarre in some of the puzzles as well. I fondly recall the meager progress I managed in the 6th iteration, getting up that cliff, figuring out how to use the hero's ring as a bargaining chip, and I think I got to the minotaur part on the cover too. I got stuck too much to care, and put it aside.

Then I got the full color walk through book.

As I followed the guide, it was mind boggling not only how little progress I had made, but just how many different ways and paths to different endings I had missed! You didn't necessarily soft lock yourself as easily as others, but you could very easily screw yourself out of other options surprisingly quick.

Then I played The Dig. By comparison, The Dig felt like an accessible masterpiece. I didn't feel like I was straining for the right hidden pixel either across environments. The story wasn't unforgiving. There were only two real endings, and relatively easy to backtrack to.
The main reason why I want to stop using react is actually precisely that I feel massively distracted from delivering business value when using it (although still better off than without it entirely obviously). JSX is quite fantastic for some things but I have found it to be fairly annoying when it comes to laying out data that has a very clear pattern to it (personally not a huge fan of functional style here)

As for spotify, that was also the point I was trying to make i.e. React was made so facebook can ~~poison the minds of the youth~~ help people share stories, Svelte being made by someone who did dataviz for NYT really shows.

Should say at this point that despite my love of Svelte in principal I still would actually probably build an app that used a react-like framework to glue svelte components together as I'm not a huge fan of a lot of the aspects of svelte that have scope wider than a component.
Old Atoms were able to do that. N100 is way more powerful (better than Skylake at the same frequency).

All of our data points in the opposite direction. The more wealth you have, and the more stability you have with government safety nets, the less likely you are to have children.

Overall, it's much less noisy than pug, just by removing the parentheses and commas. But if the objective of this kind of markup is trying to minimize visual noise, removing redundant closing tags (which have inconsistent rules) would be an improvement.

The shorthand for classes/IDs seems like a good idea too, if there's a way to do it that improves readability (and seems less magical to the unfamiliar coder)
Some olympic sports are akin to hobbies, others hardly pay. And most are pretty harsh living compared to effort. Only a select few are actual good income makers. And even then quite likely depend on good marketability and good sponsors.
> A major Taiwan newspaper with anti-Beijing leanings is reporting that nearly 40 banks have disappeared in recent days, merging with larger institutions, and that as many as 3,800 banks are in varying levels of trouble.

40 banks disappearing is really not much (unless you had money at that bank) given the scale the same sentence implies. Looking it up, 40 is less than 1% and these are small banks. I'd presume this isn't that big a deal.

Not sure, honestly.

I don't consider failing to meet legal and tax obligations to be merely a "problem that impacts a small segment".

It's true that realistically SMEs have a degree of shielding from the consequences because there are plenty of large enterprises to go after first and they have bigger wallets for the tax man and his limited resources to chase.

But those enterprises also have armies of lawyers and accountants to defend themselves and the scale to treat any lost decisions and resulting penalties as just a cost of doing business. To a small business the cost of responding to a formal audit by the tax man alone can be a major expense and have a deep and long-lasting personal impact on the people running the business. Ask anyone in the UK who's been the wrong side of an IR35 investigation - even one they "won" after several years of fighting with HMRC.

As I said before - the trouble with the ostrich argument is that it works until it doesn't. The argument people are making against mine here is essentially that it's OK not to do your taxes if you can get away with it. If software engineers are excessively risk averse in this then maybe entrepreneurs are excessively risk tolerant. We probably never hear about the acquisition that never happened because of something that showed up in due diligence or the startup that never got that far because it did get bogged down in red tape when something went wrong and never recovered.

The real point here is that it's crazy that anyone even has to have this discussion. Governments should get their acts together and reach agreements where international trade below some reasonable de minimis threshold doesn't incur any international compliance or tax obligations at all and only businesses big enough to be turning over significant amounts of money in a particular area need to do anything special. There should be no need for merchant of record services to exist - at least not from the point of view of ensuring tax compliance for small businesses.

DoH DNS support (beyond the single existing NextDNS option)
I'd never heard of those until your post, and had to look up a Youtube about what they were: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ee-x6IXWK8

That's super fascinating. There's an entire industry that runs off these things, on their totally custom UI, showing everything from stock tickers to news headlines to maps? That must be a fun project to work on (except probably the finance users don't like random UI changes, lol).
I also like svelte. I’ve not used it for anything serious yet though for one reason: lack of libraries.

What you describe is a valid concern. I like keeping it more “vanilla” with svelte but any time I run into an issue of “Do I spend the next 2 hours building this, or just vet and pull in a library?” I’m left with the former option.

At this point in my life I’m not that interested in spending more time than I have to get something done.

So.. I just use react. No customer cares about 35kb vs 8kb or whatever people seem to optimize for. Even businesses in a developing country have 50-100mbps connection, and honestly most customers (even tech corps) don’t care about this stuff.

Genuine question, but what's the use case for this? I do a ton of embedded compute, but it all requires extensive GIPO/PWM, etc. Then I do a lot of desktop compute, but it all requires a GPU and a fair bit of horsepower.

What's the use case for a SBC made to be embedded in a project box, but without extensive IO?
I think your trouble with the table has far more to do with the design (specifically color) choices made by the author.

1. You mentioned this in passing, but I'll repeat for emphasis: The contrast between a hovered/highlighted table row and ones that are not is too low. I have decent eyes and I also have a hard time seeing it.

2. Table rows (and/or columns) should be striped between two or more high contrast colors for better legibility. White, black, white, black for example. This table is all black through and through.

3. The table borders' contrast is way too low, it's hardly even visible. This combined with the singular row/column color makes legibility even worse.

TL;DR: Table itself is actually fine, the colors are terrible.
Probably not Los Angeles. It will be their third Olympics, their 1984 Olympics was well managed, and it looks to be on track for a well managed 2028.

But when a city/region/country tries to vastly increase prestige by hosting, it's often a big strain on their economy and can leave a legacy of waste.

It's one thing to use a big event to upgrade or build facilities that are in demand and will be used, but construction costs were hard to justify. But it's a waste when they're built and then not used after the games; which is unfortunately common.

You can often sneak in some infrastructure projects that will be of lasting benefit too. As I understand it, LA's network of highway information signage was built for the 1984 Olympics, and is sort of useful for other things. I read that Paris built some runoff storage/treatment facilities to augment their sewage system[1] so that they could run Olympic events in the Seine, but improving water quality will benefit residents and the environment after the games.

[1] Most old cities, including Paris, have a first to market problem with their sewage systems. When there was little concept of sewage treatment, it made sense to build combined sewers that manage rain water and sewage in the same system; you didn't want either in the streets, so pipe it all to the river. Over time, sanitary sewers required treatment plants to clean the water before discharging it into the river; but in a combined system, rain water will oftwn overwhelm the treatment plant capacity, and you get less treated or minimally treated discharges during sustained rainfall. It's difficult to build a second system in an established urban environment, but cities that grew in the 1950s or later tend to have separate storm and sanitary sewers. Of course, time has shown we should treat water from storm sewers too, when possible.
Even in Java there is a built in recipe book that tells you how to craft items that you have the resources for.
Conclusion: "So the big lesson here is to always plan for the future. Listen to the requirements for the current product, but then design with the assumption that you'll be asked to expand the requirements in the future. If you don't, users may be cursing you when the code is released. But who knows? If you do it right, people may still be using your code in 40 years."

There are several flavors of labor unions. Some represent entire industries, but in this case they are joining a federation of smaller unions that are company specific. So the titular IAM is more like a parent company, or franchise, and to an extent it can get somewhat arbitrary, but generally if there’s a union that already represents a similar industry as one’s own, that’s usually the one to choose, as they will have an established base of members, relevant expertise for preparing for a vote and negotiating contracts. Even for somewhat novel professions, there’s generally going to be a similar analog to start with.
The nominal profession(s) (in this case, machinists) were simply the O.G. industry that kicked it all off back in the day. The IAM is part of the AFL-CIO, and represents more than 200 industries in North America according to Wikipedia. A labor union does what it says on the label, and represents a unified coalition of workers. Most of these kinds of unions have been around for far longer than even some of the industries they represent. The United Electrical, Radio & Machine Workers of America also represents teachers, clerical workers, hospital workers, and railroad operators.
Their power is derived from their numbers, and their reach is increased with a diversified pool of industries. They are incentivized to develop branches and provide a big tent in order to grow their influence and power. As long as the members’ interests are aligned, the specific jobs they occupy aren’t strictly relevant, however there needs to be some level of commonality in order to provide them with a meaningful amount of leverage during contract negotiations. If the organization is too untethered between industries, then things like labor strikes won’t carry the intended message very effectively.

Note: I am not a union official, or even a member, and this is entirely based on my own (possibly flawed) understanding as a history and poli-sci enthusiast. Take it with the requisite grain of salt.
Stop trying to outdo the last host's opening ceremony. That boat procession in the rain was a disaster, and whatever they were trying to do with the masked man carrying the torch was absurd. Just have each county's athletes march around the stadium like they used to.

Focus on having good venues for the competition (that doesn't necessarily mean you have to build new ones) that's what it's about.
They'd get way further just keeping the infrastructure intact and using it to spread propaganda to turn Americans against each other.
> The fact that companies tell you that you don't need a union and they'll spend millions to union-bust or to avoid union certification should tell you everything you need to know: vote "yes" to the union if it comes up in your workplace and join.

This is more like oppositional defiant disorder than politics; it's true that your interests are not fully aligned with your employer, but that doesn't mean you should do everything that they say not to do.

A better answer is that the USA has some of the oldest and therefore most antiquated union laws. Other countries have sectoral bargaining systems, which are better precisely because individual employers are less motivated to oppose joining them. (Because with per-corporation unions, your employees joining makes you less competitive. But with sectoral systems it doesn't because your competitors all have to join too.)
I've played with Plan9 several times, but never used it seriously. The aesthetics that puts me off. Would have been great if they had taken guidance from BeOS / Haiku-OS for the look and feel. Heck, even Windows 95 would have been an improvement.
The land was already settled by slavic and finnic tribes, whose experience of this is lost to us. The norse made their own settlements and assumed rule over the existing groups. Eventually the norse and finnic groups had more or less fully assimilated with each other and into the local slavic population forming the rus'.

> canvas

Indeed, the canvas is basically inevitable, but it's a bespoke chart that has both temporal and non-temporal data in it (not sure what the terminology should be, but imagine plotting market expectations of interest rates in future and what expectations were historically displayed relative to current levels - but repeated ~200 times), so the existing chart libraries aren't particularly helpful and can get in the way of being able to click on stuff.

Anecdotally I find that programmers are very good at writing charts for the kinds of data they understand (time series, time series of their stock options, etc), but even the "generic" (e.g. grammar of graphics) libraries can still struggle with simple combinations of those domains.

Obviously you can just treat the charting library as a black-box for which you derive coordinate transformations and make things appear in the right place but not a great bus-factor for that kind of code.

this is exactly what occurred in barcelona. a huge complex of stadiums and public facilities that are now crumbling.
> The fact that companies tell you that you don't need a union and they'll spend millions to union-bust or to avoid union certification should tell you everything you need to know: vote "yes" to the union if it comes up in your workplace and join.

This isn't entirely logical. Companies also spend millions to fight off patent trolls, but that doesn't naturally lead to the conclusion that you should team up with the trolls or that patent law doesn't need to be reformed after all. Something can be bad for you and bad for the company, so evidence of harm to the company is not sufficient to prove benefit to you.

Personally (speaking as a software engineer), if unionization is ever raised my plan is to look into all the details of the plan and weigh my options. I'm disinclined to trust any claim that something is always good or always bad, so I take the pro-union propaganda with the same salt as the anti-.

There is pretty strong evidence that Bach, for example, was also very much into math and thought about music in a very mathematical way. Some other composers definitely did the same, but I agree with you that mathematical thinking was never a prerequisite for composers.

I would suspect that many of the ones from the early periods were far more "mathematical" than 20th and 21st century composers, but there is very little writing either way.
Billionaires don't need assistance to fund their entertainment venues. When they do want public money to lower the horrible economic burden of supporting their money printer, the public should be equitably treated as an investment partner that gets a proportional share of all revenue.
Totally agree. You can't reduce an experience like Minecraft to any one thing, it's the formula that makes it so enduring.

re: harping on Minecrafts graphics, there's a lot of people that completely misunderstand the purpose of graphics in games and just think greater fidelity = better. Sure, in AAA games especially, graphics are there to sell the game, and that's certainly one part of the creative ensemble that the medium is known for.

However, graphics also enable game designs. These include creating a sense of grandeur or plausibility (high fidelity), making fast feedback loops easier to see (high contrast effects), allowing for visual challenges (hidden items), freeing resources (low fidelity), and probably most importantly, drawing attention to relevant parts of play.

The best creative decisions are those that tend to check a lot of boxes with a single decision, and Minecraft's lo-fi style really did that. It enabled complexity within performance constraints, drew attention to the resource game and away from the visuals, defined it's own aesthetic reminiscent of older games, and allowed the game to be built with a very small team without a lot of art skill. Basically notch took lemons and made lemonade, and it worked.

My favorite part of the Minecraft aesthetic though is that it implies you can create, making the whole world creatively legible with big blocks. Other creation games in 2d & 3d just don't have this degree of creative suggestiveness, they look too much like other read-only games to make you feel like you're an equal participant in play.

You would benefit if all members of the public bore the costs of your game tickets, but would you benefit if the same principle was applied to things that you didn't want?
If you want to take this a step further, quantitative methods are about efficient data reduction. As part of this data reduction, the model’s assumptions and mathematical form take center stage in describing how you got to your “number”.

This is different from qualitative analysis because the data reduction is done “by hand” by the researcher.

The difference between the “automatic”, model-based data reduction in quantitative research and the “subjective” reduction in qualitative research is then amplified when people say that quant is more objective than qual analysis. The discussion, instead, should be about the quality of the work and whether the final conclusions are warranted by the methods instead of the method itself.
