did you know about rule before start writing piece of code in question ? If yes, I really don't see how you can say in good faith that it wasn't your mistake to be fixed.
You can disable swashes with a line of CSS:
`font-feature-settings: "swsh" off;`

Of course you'll need to add vendor prefixes.
Dovetailing with having multiple rubies, the reason why you have multiple rubies is to support older projects that depend on older rubies, and lock future projects to whatever was the best ruby for it at the time.
I'd like to mention three malls that don't purely fit the "greybox" model and may point to a likely future for malls in general.

- West Edmonton Mall (Edmonton, AB). In one sense, it is the mother of all greybox malls, surrounded by an asphalt moat. But: it's accessible via local transit, and it's very much in the model of an artificial downtown: it contains hotels, apartments, a hockey rink, an aquarium, and a variety of other things not in the simple greybox mall. This is because it gets really freaking cold in Edmonton in the winter and it's nice to go "outside" without going "outside"; and the diversity of stuff that's there keeps it more alive than at, say, Woodfield (outside Chicago, IL). The food court felt less like a food court and more like a street that had a bunch of little food shops on it. Basically, they've adapted "downtown" to the needs of their climate.

- The Ala Moana Mall (Honolulu, HI). I mention this mostly to contrast the previous one. It's laid out like a greybox mall, but since it's Honolulu, they just skip the whole "roof" thing on the central ways. So it's really more like a pedestrian street with a lot of shops on it. Also, it contains (or is adjacent to?) some non-shop things, and it's well-connected by transit. EDIT to add: There are outdoor malls other places, too, and they're sort of in vogue right now. What makes this one different is how well-adapted it is to its surroundings.

- Providence Place Mall (Providence, RI). Built much more recently (1999 or so), it does include a parking deck but isn't surrounded by asphalt in all directions. It's got entrances that are right off a relatively walkable street, with a couple transit connections (and it's about two blocks from the main central transit station). Internally, it feels nothing like a classic greybox mall: it's five stories with shops on both sides, and lots of windows give it plenty of natural light. It felt much more like a part of downtown than an alternative to it.

So basically, it's possible to set up your mall in such a way that it steers clear of the major problems plaguing malls; and there's certainly reason to think that reinvention rather than abandonment is the mall's likeliest future.
Thanks for the heads up on the scan! That's what I get for publishing just before rushing to dinner.

The blog is just a bunch of static files, so there shouldn't be any issue. This situation is really annoying; I'll figure something out soon.
"X isn't perfectly Y, so let's stop working towards it in favor of working towards something that's even farther from Y!" is equally absurd.
Haaretz verifiable provable lied, but it doesn't matter for you, because it's the oldest Israel newspaper. 3 chief Rabbis of Ukraine and the Association of Jewish Communities of Ukraine say there is no neo-Nazi threat from Ukrainians while it exists from Russians, but it doesn't matter for you, because you found few photographs of neo-Nazis in 1 million crowd. OK. I don't know, at this point the discussion as constructive as discussion with 9/11 truther, quite frankly.

Really, your photoset is hilarious. [1], [2], [3], [4] are photographs from 2013. [4] is especially funny -- Tyagnibok uses his _left_ hand to point to something, but you are trying misrepresent it like he is making a Nazi salute. If you want to find a fake Nazi salute photograph, at least find one where the target uses their _right_ hand. Like Merkel on this photo: http://westsidetoastmasters.com/resources/book_of_body_langu... On [5], [6] there is one guy with old Svoboda symbol it dropped 10 years ago and one guy with 14/88 on his shield. Not much, considering the fact there were 1 million of persons with very different background on Maidan. Look, of course there were neo-Nazis on Maidan -- there were 1 million with plenty of radicals. But it was an extreme minority, and it wasn't supported even by the leaders of notable nationalistic forces like Svoboda and Pravyj Sektor. There were very few antisemitic incidents recorded on Maidan -- most notable one was when one poetess recited antisemitic poem from the Maidan tribune (btw she was banned from tribune for that). And it was the most notable one. Compare it with Gubarev, the _leader_ of pro-Kremlin forces in Donetsk, guy completely supported by Russian propaganda, who was real neo-Nazi from RNE: http://imgur.com/a/QeuZp Compare it with Crimean Russians, who attack women for wearing Ukrainian flags [1] and old ladies [2], who kidnap journalists and shot in peaceful Ukrainian activists.

I'd guess that this is an oblique reference to working in finance.
I always want to paste the same excerpt from War and Peace when this comes up:

"When Boris entered the room, Prince Andrey was listening to an old general, wearing his decorations, who was reporting something to Prince Andrey, with an expression of soldierly servility on his purple face. “Alright. Please wait!” he said to the general, speaking in Russian with the French accent which he used when he spoke with contempt. The moment he noticed Boris he stopped listening to the general who trotted imploringly after him and begged to be heard, while Prince Andrey turned to Boris with a cheerful smile and a nod of the head. Boris now clearly understood—what he had already guessed—that side by side with the system of discipline and subordination which were laid down in the Army Regulations, there existed a different and more real system—the system which compelled a tightly laced general with a purple face to wait respectfully for his turn while a mere captain like Prince Andrey chatted with a mere second lieutenant like Boris. Boris decided at once that he would be guided not by the official system but by this other unwritten system."
Great comment.

Executives are machine-builders. Some areas of tech are starting to look like rock-band territory: great idea, cool team, right buzz, catch the wave at the right time, execution intelligence -> profit. How you execute? Not so much.

When the market settles, and you're doing something everybody else is doing that has an established value proposition and distribution channel? The game changes. Or even when you're the 10th successful entrant into a field the game changes. Then you're looking at building the most efficient machine you can.

Companies make a ton of mistakes trying to continue to eliminate inefficiencies from organizational structure, but that doesn't mean there's none to be found.

I fear that survivor bias is teaching the wrong lesson to an entire generation of business leaders. But hell, should make for some great case studies over the next 10-20 years if nothing else.
Past a certain size, it's nice to have an HR professional managing the company's treatment of its employees. It's also nice to have a third party/person available for conflict management.
Getting outside counsel on your business decisions is one thing, but either dispatching an outsider to internal business affairs as your hatchetperson or having them take it upon themselves to do so is not good business. As seen in Exhibit A, the original article.

I think the best model so far is the mixed development: offices, residences, and commercial stores all in one. That's what you see in developing countries.
Am I the only person tired of seeing so many Wikipedia articles on Hacker News? (Currently there are two in the top 10 and there have been a bunch of others recently.)

Perhaps HN should apply a mild penalty to the wikipedia.org domain, the same as it does to many other sites such as stackexchange.com and theguardian.com.

(And yes I acknowledge the What to Submit guideline (HN:WTS) "Anything that good hackers would find interesting".)
The 3DS downclocks the ARM CPU and disables its second core when playing a NDS game. As a side effect, battery life is better when playing DS games on a 3DS than when playing native 3DS games on the same 3DS.

The 3DS processor is capable of emulating 8-bit systems, as it has virtual console NES and GB/GBC games. SEGA also ported some Genesis games to run on the 3DS, but I think they had to re-write parts in native ARM code as straight emulation wasn't fast enough (Google "Sega M2 GigaDrive" for a great series of interviews about this).

I think Betteridge's law of headlines applies to this article. I live in Indy where the (billionaire) Simon's live, who own Simon Property Group.

I used to live between two of their major malls for years. I could barely leave my apartment for 2 months before xmas due to traffic. They just spent millions remodeling their high end mall adding capacity and additional room for high end stores like Sacks and Restoration Hardware.

Non generic crap malls are fine. Junk stores that have generic brand cheapish clothes and the like (JCPenny) are being replaced by Amazon, but overall malls are doing fine.
And the form of that politics will vary. c.f. Two wolves and a sheep deciding on what to have for dinner.

Brutalist? Don't you think that's a little hyperbolic? Every mall I've witnessed has had interior and exterior design far from brutalist. Pretty nice-looking, really.

A popular one around here actually has a large skylight spanning most of the middle of the roof.

There are a lot of good reasons to prefer an indoor place. The weather's often not comfortable outside. It's only really perfectly comfortable for a time throughout the year that sums to maybe a few months over here. Maybe you're used to some place where it's the perfect weather all year?

"People want shopping centers to reflect regional and local character, be in town centers, and offer high quality unique options with a few staples. Get rid of the huge parking lots and add a grocer."

Do they really want all that, or do they just want some place with a bunch of stores and maybe a movie theater and food court, in a nice indoor climate-controlled environment and some light music in the background?

You just admitted in your last paragraph that the weather in that place makes an outdoor gathering less desirable.
I wonder if that's how 42floors got their idea.

I don't think anyone could a write a less accurate depiction of John Kenneth Galbraith's writings if one were trying. He did not argue against competition. He argued that modern industries tended to anticompetitive behaviors and that they could not be trusted to preserve free, competitive markets. He was right. Proof is in the behavior of the auto dealers.

I understand Galbraith is a Libertarian boogeyman and Adam Smith is viewed as the opposite, but they share a heck of a lot in common. It's sad to see such easily refuted ignorance elevated to the top of HN comments threads.
The argument against college is that it too has become a lottery rather than an investment, one with an unacceptably high ticket price.

I hate not understanding the politics of an organization and community I depend on so much. I dislike not knowing how to feel about all this.

I can't help but be exasperated that the concept of an "open company" is not more common for such critical infrastructure as GitHub. I'm frustrated that I can't simply peer into all these private interactions and social exchanges and chat logs and make my own judgment
Our local mall has realized that, I think. Most of the new stores are designer stuff - think Coach bags - and a new anchor called Von Maur which is an old-style department store - attentive staff, live piano in the lobby, etc. They seem to be doing much better than the JC Pennys of the area.
You mention they'll gain technical skills but they'll also learn the soft skills. This is often forgotten and not learned in school. They'll become better communicators with email, in person, and over the phone. They'll gain experience with deadlines, costs, prioritization, handling clients, and many more soft skills.

These soft skills will put them leaps and bounds ahead of other fresh graduates at their first job.
If I really need to think about a tough problem, I tend to get a pad of paper and go sit outside on my deck and think about it away from a computer. Sort of an "astrophysicists are not in the telescope business" thing :-)

But what's wrong with expressing an opinion on someone else's action? You are the one that is socially inept. No, wait, you are just expressing your opinion on someone else expressing their opinion on someone else expressing themselves. Oh, chripes, what was I trying to say again?

Replacing Make with Ninja
I don't think there is any real doubt that Google's application process favors bright young people right out of (usually very good) schools, rather than people with 20+ years of experience. And, that is fine because they are a business and have found that this process works well for them.
Scaling a coffee shop (web application)
I wonder what the cost of Google Shopping Express will be. I found myself choosing GSE over Amazon several time because on smaller items is cheaper and you can't beat same day delivery.
Maybe it's because I live in Palo Alto, but it seems, at least here, that there is a hollowing out of the middle end of the spectrum. On the low end, there are still the Target's and the Walmart's, and on the high end you have things like Stanford Shopping Center, Union Square, Santa Row, etc. The middle has taken a real beating though, as has the low middle. I'm not sure who shops at JC Penny, Sears, or even K-Mart for that matter.

I've reached a similar conclusion but have wildly different experiences.

I've never had issues setting up dual boot. It works fine and I can read/write NTFS if needed from Linux or just rely on Dropbox for simple stuff. The problem is it is too inconvenient to reboot so I usually just run Win 7 from a VM inside Linux. I also had a number of issues with Windows being glitchy (this persisted on three different Thinkpads with Windows 7 and, back in the day, Windows XP) and a pain to maintain, which is why I use Linux as my primary desktop OS.

I also don't have a problem with power management and suspend on Linux, though I know it probably isn't as good as Windows. I don't use hibernate so I'm not sure if it is awful. For my next PC upgrade I'm not getting a laptop, however, since I hardly ever travel with it...

I like OSX fine enough, too, but I rely on a lot of Linux tools so I have no real reason to have an OSX machine.
When I look for libraries to use on github I don't know or care about the race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs of the person who wrote the code...

I'm amazed the company wouldn't respond to her by saying: while the tech industry is a very imperfect meritocracy, and our company is still an imperfect one, the service we provide attempts to be a true meritocracy. The rug is about the goal, not the status quo.

EDIT: I bet this would be a smash hit in Apple Store (at least I checked and couldnt find exact replica). I bet there are few people working on it right now...
Pre-internet, if you wanted to peruse music, toys, books, movies, and/or video games and software, you essentially had to go to a mall. Or at least you wanted to because it was so convenient to access one or more of these sources of entertainment. Now it's pretty much only a good source for clothes.
Combining residential spaces with malls is an interesting idea. There are a lot of builing codes that now require ground-floor retail on any residential buildings over a certain number of floors, but I've never seen or thought about revitalizing malls by adding a residential component. One downside would be that the parking starts to get taken up by residents rather than shoppers.
At Sun, where there was a structured management chain, there was a time when one of the folks in my group reverted a big chunk of changes I had committed, and I went to our common manager and demanded satisfaction. The response was 'if we left them in he threatened to quit, there isn't anything we can do', and the only conclusion from that statement was that if one of us quit, the manager would rather it were me than this other person. Needless to say it was really annoying.

Forth not only has a REPL, but an incremental compiler, too. Have a look at http://www.forth.com/starting-forth/index.html, you'll be amazed what Forth has to offer! Interactive microcontroller debugging is every bit as fun as it sounds :)
JacobAldridge asked whether there is a better overview of Namecoin than it's Wikipedia page. Having read the Wikipedia page and the Namecoin homepage you linked, I can confidently say that the former is a much more detailed and informative overview.

The author's premise is that when people interact, 'structures' always form (it's in the same section you quoted from). It's same way that one could argue that 'politics' is always present, when two or more people must work together.

You can't really claim her assertion isn't true simply by using your own definition of the term.
Alright, defend it:

>Nest time you see a black man over 20 and under 50 years of age, try calling him "boy". See how he reacts. But before you do, write that last will and testament

Still can't see it? Yes you can.

>Next time you see a black man... try calling him "boy"... But before you [see how he reacts] write that last will and testament

Either your English is pretty limited (in which case, avoid getting into semantic arguments like 'woman' vs 'girl'), or you're being disingenuous. There is no universe in which that does not mean "because he will murder you." You say that he will need a last will and testament after the black man reacts. What the fuck else could that possibly mean.

The reason you're being picked on and downvoted in this comment thread, by the way, is because this kind of bullshit is a harmful distraction. There are plenty of serious issues to talk about in this thread. Horvath has revealed some toxic shit going on in a very popular, well-loved SV startup.

Using 'girl' instead of 'woman' for 'young female adult' is NOT one of these serious issues. As a young male in tech I know a lot of young females in tech; of the minority who actually give a shit about this petty nonsense, they all prefer 'girl' and feel uncomfortable with 'woman.'

EDIT: also, equating "fasten your seatbelt before driving" and "write a will before insulting a black man" as "common sense advice" is SUPER FUCKING RACIST
Sorry about that! HN on a Nexus phone is challenging.
My biggest problem with malls is the pervasive aroma of human flatulence that seems to be everywhere. Maybe that's why so many of the shops spray perfume/cologne into the air.
Well, I wouldn't say Forth is specially "usable," (I'm far from an expert, so this may be it) but it applies: compiled with a REPL.
Interesting but how do you move one task from lets say later to another section ?
