Fixed pricing can be fine, but requires a lot of due diligence with both parties, and much more detailed contracts and crucially – scope. Expectation management is key. (Btw, what you’re describing sounds more like a retainer which isn’t quite the same.)

My experience is that fixed price only works for very short (days and weeks, not months) projects that can be scoped very strictly. Even then, there’s a lot of risk of miscommunication and uncomfortable discussions. My rule of thumb is that if I’m doing a fixed price contract, it can’t be longer than two weeks. This usually amounts to very targeted fixes, upgrades, research projects. Things that are typically not so hard to time box.

That is HN itself! Have a look at the source. How little Javascript it actually needs and see how well it can work without. I even like the idea behind the sparse styling and layout it use but I still think the looks could be much improved.

It is not for all as some sites are too much on the app heavy spectrum. But the current mindset among developers makes this leak everywhere. So many sites are really poorly designed. That is interesting in the context of debating minimalism and how broadly that can be defined in context of Javascript requirements.

Too few does what Travis did and try to do something minimalist. And the web suffers for it. Agree or not with his design decisions but his sentiment is laudable.

You only have a hard time to find sites which does not work without javascript because that is the lazy easy way. Good design and engineering is ignored as it is easy to quickly mock up a react site. Accessability then comes as an afterthought. And no-one cares about long term maintenance.

So sure; good luck finding a site which works well without Javascript. But that is my point: It might be the reality but should not be what we strive for. Some prefer the status quo while others prefer the fight. It might be against the windmills but nevertheless the point stands.
Amazing.

Perhaps a more important question is, who decides what constitutes misinformation in the first place? Many news outlets these days use the term when referring to anything which contradicts their narrative (which quite often turns out to be false). If we cannot trust the "fact-checkers" then neither can we define "misinformation" in any meaningful way.
Ok, according to "X's own data", MAU dropped from 112 million to 106 million in the EU.

The flip side of this is that the stakeholder has to actually care enough to invest in collaboration and have enough bandwidth to be able to follow through.

The kind of communication that lets cross-functional projects be effective is time consuming, and competent people tend to be overworked, no matter what part of the business they’re in.
Does the underlying data structure work okay with that? I would assume there is some sort of lazy iterator involved that may not work with array methods, or only work once.

This is JavaScript though…
It is controllable, but for rice and other cereals I use the maximum of 1000 W. Small powers are needed for things like meat or eggs, but very seldom for vegetables.

The time depends on the quantity. For around 125 g of rice + 500 g of water, the time is between 12 and 15 minutes.

An advantage of using a microwave oven is that no stirring is needed during cooking, unlike when boiling rice or other cereals on a traditional stove.
Great point! We'll be taking all of that into account. The idea is not to make this a breaking change as a lot of community work went into the various lang support modules that are available.

Partly this is what makes this a fun and interesting challenge that goes beyond just the tech and the team is eager to get their hands dirty to solve this. For now, lots of ideas on the board. Once we have a plan, we will start to share in order to get community feedback.

Thanks for the added detail, that's roughly what I remembered as well but definitely a better timeline.

I don't actually remember hearing people describe the election as stolen at the time. I know people weren't happy about it, but either I just lost that memory over time or "stolen" is a newer description of 2000 now that its become so commonplace today.

Either way, I have a hard time seeing an election that was recounted and challenge GED all the way to the Supreme Court as stolen. Contentious for sure, but that sounds like the system working as intended rather than theft.
Companies can be just as inefficient as the government, sure. But unless they have a monopoly, either natural or government-enforced, inefficient companies will go out of business while inefficient government agencies can linger on for a long, long time

If you want to add some kind of oil, that is also better added immediately after taking the rice out of the oven.

If you add salt or sugar, then that should be added before cooking in the oven.
I don't see how "day tourists" are different from other types of tourists.
venvs are used to isolate groups of dependencies, but it's not just about conflicts. Many other languages expect you to do the same thing; people complain less because either the language statically resolves imports and can support multiple versions of a library in the same environment; and/or because the ecosystem has some conventions that allow the tooling to detect the "current environment" better, and/or because the standard installer isn't itself a library that defaults to appearing in every environment and installing specifically for "its own" environment; and/or (possibly the biggest one) they don't have to worry about building and installing complex multi-language projects where the one they're using is just providing a binding.

An important reason for using them is to test deployment: if your code works in a venv that only has specific things installed (not just some default "sandbox" where you install everything), then you can be sure that you didn't forget to list a dependency in the metadata. Plus you can test with ranges of versions of your dependencies and confirm which ones your library will work with.

They're also convenient for making neat, isolated installations for applications. Pipx wraps pip and venv to do this, and as I understand it there's similarly uvx for uv. This is largely about making sure you avoid "interference", but also about pinning specific versions of dependencies. It also lowers the bar somewhat for your users: they still need to have a basic idea of what Python is and know that they have a suitable version of Python installed, but you can tell them to install Pipx if they don't have it and run a single install command, instead of having to wrestle with both pip and venv and then also know how to access the venv's console scripts that might not have been put on PATH.

I don’t know why this is so hard in America.

All other developed countries make this work, what are Americans lacking?

The system is just:
- Keep a list of citizens allowed to vote

- Print paper ballots with the names of the candidates

- ask for a proper ID with photograph

- collect the votes

- count them by hand with the oversee of representatives of the candidates

That’s it, that’s all there’s to it and we count 99% of the votes in less than 6h.

Our PIM team disagrees with that take. They enjoy the PIM interface and Excel doesn't come close to the data hierarchy and relationships our systems provide. And that includes reporting, vendor exchange and internal integrations.

But perhaps you're missing the point here (like plenty of others): it is not about handling a few offline rows, it's about re-inventing established systems that have proven their value and risk mitigations. We don't want someone to setup a collection files to build a homebrew PIM or ERP or CRM because they feel like it, disconnecting themselves from the organisation and teams they work with. In most cases, single player data silos are bad.

My reading of the downvoted question was one of genuine curiosity of why the author chose that as a favorite trigraph, as in “why that one instead of another”, not as criticism of the choice of trigraph over something more conventional. I may be wrong of course, but it didn’t seem like a particularly malicious question to me and your rationale unfortunately doesn’t convince me otherwise. Not that it has to, this is all very subjective after all, but just offering up a counter opinion.

I gave the question a +1 because I, as previously stated, read it to be genuine curiosity. Maybe a smiley would’ve helped, I don’t know. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Are you referring to Republican Party of Pennsylvania v. Boockvar over the 3 day extension of the received date?

Paper ballot have the advantage of being robust against e.g. power failures. They are also trivially to scale up - just need small secluded space for people to fill them and an additional pen - much shorter waiting lines. There is not BIOS, there is no software to be rolled out or computer to be procured, installed, secured and finally put in secure storage or securely disposed.

Show HN: A Dependency Graph Library for JavaScript and TypeScript Projects
Hello, HN! I’d like to introduce 'Decode-Deps', a library that visualizes the module dependencies in your project.

With a single command, you can generate an graph showing how modules relate to each other.
It supports 'import' and 'require' statements, and works with JavaScript, JSX, TypeScript, and TSX files.

It is open source, so contributions are welcome. Thank you for checking it out!

> This trope that minorities are affected by voter ID laws doesn’t pass the slightest scrutiny.

It is well-supported by actual research (e.g. [1]) AND by simple logic. Every single point you brought up has a clear counter argument - why didn't you respond to any of them? Have you simply never heard anyone mention them?

> It’s also just plainly offensive and racist to assume minorities can’t show the basic competency to obtain ID when you already need it for so many things.

It's plainly offensive and racist to ignore studies (e.g. [2]) that prove a higher percentage of minorities owns government issued photo ID compared to non-minorities. I'm not assuming anything, I'm only looking at statistics, at real people and data. You're instead attempting to move the conversation away from data.

> Where were these complaints when everyone, including minorities, had to show documentation around their vaccination status for various things?

First, such complaints did exist back then as well. Second, both vaccination and frequent testing were subsidized by the government, with extra investments towards minorities. Why don't advocates of voter ID ever make similar suggestions? Why not propose a program that allows any minority to acquire a government ID without any downsides, and once that's done propose voter ID?

> Why isn’t this issue in every other country that does require ID to vote in elections?

Because in pretty much every other developed country:

- there exist standardized, government issued IDs that are distributed to every citizen during normal government interactions (e.g. in Germany you must own government ID)

- poor people (a group that minorities make up a disproportionately large part of) have more free time and are in far less precarious positions regarding job security, and consequently health care

- poor people have a far easier time getting to government buildings (e.g. cities are less car-reliant, better public transport, better coverage of government buildings)

The US is in a very different position compared to most other countries. It’s just plainly offensive and racist to introduce additional barriers to basic rights while fully aware that the average person from minority groups will have to spend more time and effort to clear them.

I'm not going to spend time digging up research for every claim I've made unless you're willing to do the same for your positions. But since you've now been made aware that this "trope" does pass the slightest scrutiny, I'm looking forward to your response! Just to summarize, you'll have to explain how the disparate impact of additional barriers to voting isn't "plainly offensive and racist" given that:

- non-minorities are much more likely to own a government ID than minorities

- non-minorities on average have an easier time acquiring such ID

- non-minorities on average face fewer potential repercussions regarding work and health care acquiring such ID

Also, if you really want to maximize what you earn, specially if you work part time, is to charge fixed price. Because pricing not only depends on how much work needs to be done, but also how much the client wants it/how fast they want it, and the ability for client to pay. Some client care too much about pricing, some clients doesn't care at all. Even in second bunch, its hard to inflate hourly price. But for fixed pricing, there is almost no limit on how much you can charge.

>If your job is to manage legal cases, you have no business writing case management software. That includes writing it in excel.

So true, but not everybody runs a company like it was a business :\

You may have to turn over every rock, but you just might find some bureaucracy "occasionally".

If your job is to manage X cases which have traditionally been done without a computer, you have the greatest advantage if you can outperform your peers when they don't have a computer either.

If X case management software is then adopted, there will once again be a level playing field, the traditional leader maintains their traditional leadership as long as that is something that is effectively leveraged by the software.

Otherwise, less-naturally-outperforming leadership may prevail once software comes on the scene, and it could very well be impossible for the previously-leading professional to compare with a peer who is also capable of writing the software themselves. Especially when there is good commercial or open-source software already. That way the domain expert having the programming ability doesn't have to spend time programming, but the insight into procuring software and creating workflows can't be matched after a certain point. Just because they actually are capable of programming it themselves if they really had to.
