Love that the author heavily editorializes but cordons off the editorial into its own section. I would be happy to see that become a standard practice elsewhere.

First, Hamas would swap 33 women and children, plus hostages older than 50, for “many hundreds” of Palestinian prisoners, during a 42-day ceasefire. Second, all remaining male Israeli hostages would be released in exchange for the IDF’s wi

You're not going to be able to stop your kids from doing anything unless you shackle them up nightly. However, you can stop them from doing it while under your roof and that significantly curtails their ability to take anything too far

I’m paying my own commute into the office. I take on the risk of auto travel at the busiest time of the day. I can’t get far enough on my lunch to truly take a break and I can still get fired for actions taken during lunch which makes it

I think a lot of people would argue against DEI because it takes the easy way out of a real problem. The result we want is more black doctors, but the way you should get to that is not changing standards that are not inherently racist. Th

HR needs to adopt a mantra similar to medicine’s “First, do no harm”. If there was any question over whether doctors would ever knowingly hurt patients, the entire profession would halve its patientload over night. Likewise, HR departments

With Visual Studio and C#, you can do that with a built-in wizard without even having to compile. It scares me how good C# is these days. Every killer feature of Rust and Lisp is already in C# or started there. Visual Studio makes VSCode lo

Move by default. If you came from c++, I think this makes a lot of sense. If you have a new language, don't bring the baggage. Came from C++ and this is my least favorite part of the language ergonomics.

Metered parking everywhere. Please no. Just tax me at the end of the year if you really need more money. Stop paywalling everything.

Was going to say the same thing. Wolfram Alpha has been doing MathNotes for 16 years now. I seriously doubt AppInt will ever come close to the depth that Wolfram has.

You could combine this with a quick cronjob to send notifications about daily/weekly spending but I don’t know an easy way to send texts without dipping into Twilio, which is difficult. If you’re okay having emails notify you, that mig

Remote jobs because of the altruism of these Maine corporations? Or because prisoners come cheap and don't have access to 99% of the job market? I don't want prisoners to be eligible for any jobs. They distort market wages heavily

The business model contains dark patterns incentivizing patient deaths in many cases. It’s not that they’re turning a profit, it’s that they’re profiting off of death. If it was a break-even org (I.e. non-profit), people would likely have l

Came here to say this. I remember these surveys in high school and how non-seriously we took them. Really, I can’t imagine any group less credible to survey than high schoolers.

The reverse is arguably the one trait Rust is missing that is holding it back from mass adoption. You can write high-level C# code and seamlessly introduce low-level concepts into it as you see fit. However, although you can write low-level

I disagree. Working through each keyword until you understand the full signature felt great when learning. It’s the Python if __name__ == __main__ trash that was the worst. You’ll never understand it and it doesn’t fit in the language.

Yubico's explanation of the name "YubiKey" is that it derives from the phrase "your ubiquitous key", and that "yubi" is the Japanese word for finger. The Yubikey is greatly held back from wider adoption

Doesn't seem like it will matter. The core patent expires in 2026[0] and the rest expire in 2033. It seems like most will have access to at least some form of the drug affordably within the next five years. [0] https://www.re
