"Without discernment" is implied in "regardless of whatever obstacles are in the way". Many of us would consider excessively exploiting others to be an obstacle.

For doctors in the US I think the limit is more artificial than that: a cap on how many med school seats are allowed.

Home page states Lix can diff. "any file format like .xlsx, .pdf, .docx" Wow, sounds useful. Git doesn't do that out of the box. BUT... the list of available "plugins" only has .csv,.md and json, which are things th

IMHO the main point of the article is that typical unix command pipeline pipeline IS parallelized already. The bottleneck in the example was maxing out disk IO, which I don't think duckdb can help with.

Having played enough video games that use joysticks for steering I don't want to drive a real car with a joystick. Crashing in Mario kart or Grand theft Auto because I sneezed is fine but not in real life.

surely if NYC can do 99c slices, it's not as simple as high rent costs?

You are oversimplifying the writer's position. They mention zoning as one reason but also other regulations, health codes (minimum sink counts!) and other things like parking minimums (which houston has had, though they've been r

I'm guessing you stayed in a major city and didn't drive anywhere outside of it? If you flew in and didn't have a rental car, odds are your itinerary was biased towards places that didn't need a car?

Communities were not doing fine. CoC didn't come out of nowhere because someone was bored. Having a CoC doesn't absolve moderators any more than having laws absolves judges from having to make good rulings.

From the little we know the "material" in question would be photoshops made to harass Limor, made by someone at sparkfun. So it would be weird for sparkfun to complain , given the content originated with one of their employees.

This is very validating as someone just trying out Actions and getting frustrated with the less than ideal UX.

You can fast forward to the tables he will show if you keep watching. If you have an alternative source of reviews with better UX please share!

Calling it a stress test seems a bit off. Would we say that invention of lightbulbs was a "stress test" for candle related business models? Or would we just say that business models had to change in response to current events.

Are you saying the www consortium should be paying to keep Tailwind development and maintenance going? The css standard is not the same as a usable library of components.

That's a good thing if it means it would reduce the incentive for mega corps to steal other people's work.

CSS the standard is still getting updated, browsers are still updating and making their own slightly different interpretations of the standard, so a CSS library can't be "complete" except for a moment in time.

The poster you responded to didn't claim that drugs were universally helpful. I think the main point is that there is no universal that works for everyone. For some exercise works, for some drugs, for others therapy. And "works

The UI absolutely could influence the backend usage. Think about a web browser that respects cache lifetimes vs one that downloads everything everytime. As an ISP I'd be more likely to offer you unlimited bandwidth if I knew you were

It's not clear how much Google is kicking in, it might not actually be enough to keep Tailwind going.

I would call this a history quiz, not a puzzle. The "ripples" are not deducible from the info given.

HN is definitely social media, even if it isn't explicitly labeled as such. Ostensibly Instagram is just a photo sharing site, but we all know it is social media.

In NYC it's the police that have been obfuscating their plate number for a long time, not just poor people. https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2017/04/19/if-nypd-is-cracking-d...

Safari in general got an update, or Safari on only the devices Apple deems worthy? Usually Apple limits Safari updates to new phones.

Misogyny is a subset of supporting trump. If you've seen him go off the deep end on supporting trump then you are witnessing his misogyny, even if you ignore his other comments.

The good faith interpretation is that if the fortnite division had any reason to benefit from that passport info, they would be able to get it. That's not a super stretch.
