How a dev or PM can live with themselves while implementing that I have no idea. Dev builds it the user-friendly way. PM uses Google Tag Manager to inject JS that changes the stylesheets to the evil way.

we don't have the rabbinic authority As a former LDS/Mormon (now effectively humanist/atheist), this concept of authority is pretty interesting. One of our core lessons when I was a missionary was that God's authority

It's not really right for Hacker News to debate Jewish Law during the shabbos in the U.S. when Jews aren't around. Why not? It's true that religious topics have the potential for flame wars, and often don't match the

Shared libraries and dynamic linking make writing FFI wrappers in other languages possible. If every library were statically linked, I wouldn't be able to write things like this: https://github.com/mike-bourgeous/

I think the failure was to not realize it earlier and instead move to a more "message passing" + "error kernel" based approach for libraries where this is possible (which are surprisingly many) and use API stability onl

The percentage of civil servants in the local workforce probably also has an effect. If only 2% of people are civil servants or otherwise receiving an indexed wage, then other factors may dominate. But if a large number of people are civi

If testing companies don't lobby, then states can develop their own tests that meet the federal guidelines. I have a family member who is an educator and has contributed candidate questions to their state's standardized testing b

The thing is, you assumed what I believe. I'm actually in favor of higher minimum wages and indexing to costs. But the feedback-loop nature of the economic system, or any feedback system (where future output numbers of the system dep

I'm sort of extrapolating from the very little I know of control theory and feedback systems. I've seen others mention that economics and control theory could benefit from collaboration. Maybe the boom/bust business cycle, c

It is very frustrating to have any kind of productive discussion when the slightest hint of anything unexpected is negatively labeled and associated with the entirety of some diametrically opposed position that was never actually raised.

I don’t buy it. It's math. If f(x)=K * g(x-1), and g(x)=L * f(x-1), you need to be very careful about choosing values for K and L.

Downvoted for stating facts. This isn't so much a "fact" as it is a "position." In other words, the fact that the BLS uses this position in its definition does not make that definition the best possible definitio

I read their comment not as saying that standardized tests are Pearson's fault, but that Pearson gets states to mandate that they are Pearson tests.

It's really hard to explain to the people why you do not remember something, they will just assume that you do not remember because you don't care. The typical mind fallacy should be taught a lot earlier in school.

My car put the cupholders in front of the center console air vents, so they are heated in winter, and cooled in summer. But any spills end up on the radio/nav.
