A bit off topic, but one of my pet peeves with the go ecosystem is the extreme difficulty in generating nice documentation for private packages. Has anyone solved this problem and I just missed it?

For me it’s about raising the keyboard surface to almost shoulder level so I can rest my forearms on the desk.

The line runs through about the 7th zero in the founder's net worth, I think.

If you're a veteran or the child of a veteran, highly recommend USAA. Tech is fairly good (they had online deposit years before anyone else I was aware of) and the service is unbeatable.

Please do! It would fit my preferred window layout so much better.

This is an important point. TSMC announced earlier this year that they'll be building a foundry in the US[0], but my understanding from what I read at the time is that it's a relative drop in the bucket.

I think GP was talking about the nation as a whole as the leader of the free world, not the current occupant of the White House.

You're missing the point. "Censorship" is an abridgement of freedom of speech. Whether it's legal censorship or illegal or even government mandated, it's still censorship. You're trying to change the meaning of well-defined terms because you're uncomfortable with what the implications of them might be. If you're pro-censorship, just say so, don't try to change what freedom of speech means.

There's no one who would advocate complete and total freedom of speech in every arena. Whether it's social, legal or self censorship, the question isn't about whether a line exists, it's where we place it.

This is silly. Of course Facebook's censorship is censorship. It is true that they are not bound by the first amendment in the same way in which Congress (and via incorporation the states) are bound, but freedom of speech is a concept which exists independent of the first amendment guarantee to its enjoyment.

Probably the same reason they don’t build factories and bring airplane and tank production in house.

EconTalk. Many different subjects viewed through the lens of economics. Generally free market outlook but incredibly thoughtful and always interesting guests.

The History of Byzantium. Follows Mike Duncan’s The History Of Rome and carries the story on in the eastern empire.

Hardcore History

The Editors. If anyone is looking for the steel man (as opposed to straw man) version of the conservative perspective on the news of the day, this podcast from National Review fits the bill.

Indeed. I just went searching for a SequelPro replacement yesterday and found Table Plus. Tried it for an hour and bought a license.

Just wanted to say it's awesome that you have an office in the Upper Peninsula. I'm excited to see tech up there, and it's such a great place to be. Thanks!

The cage makes it harder to see the game at your feet. There's also just the culture of hockey. The last un-helmeted NHL player didn't retire until 1997. Referees often didn't wear them for some time thereafter. I remember one ref, Kerry Fraser, who retired in 2010, who refused to wear a helmet so as to not mess up his famously coiffed hair.

The NHL did recently mandate visors for all new players entering the league; it seems quite possible cages will come before too long.

I visited Paris in November 2017 and didn't have to wait at all to see the Mona Lisa. The room had a good number of people in it, but wasn't crowded. My advice: If possible, take your trips in the late fall!

> If you want to be Christ-like, try not saying hateful things online AT ALL. I'm pretty sure Christ wouldn't have said, "Let he who is hateful be without reproach because it was funny at the time."

I left out the part of the story where he turns to the woman who was to have been stoned and says "go and sin no more". We must be responsible for our actions and try to do good, but none of us are really very good at that, and will always make mistakes. Because of that, it's also our responsibility to show grace and forgiveness to others. If it's impossible to leave behind foolish or terrible things we've said or done, we're all doomed.

For what it's worth, I didn't really want my original comment to be read as aimed at King or the reporter. I think the reporter (and his editor) was wrong to do what he did and got a taste of his own medicine. It would've been far better had the whole story remained untold.

As long as we continue to hold things people said as teenagers a decade ago against them, this will continue happening. People started tweeting their every though long before they began considering the potential future consequences of that action. People grow and mature, and assuming the worst thing they've ever said is an accurate reflection of their entire character is wrong. And finally, norms have changed drastically over the last decade. I think it's foolish to hold historical figures to today's societal norms, and I think the same about any of us a decade ago.

We're in a state of mutually assured destruction right now. I can't imagine that this state of affairs can hold much longer. Eventually, for all our sake, I hope we can remember the wisdom in Christ's words, "let he who is without sin cast the first stone".

Perhaps more exposure to the intellectual tradition of conservatism would likewise help free you from, to borrow a phrase, "the provincial ideas" about your political opponents that you seem to have been "inclined to inherit from [your] immediate cultural background. "

A ticket is a vastly different situation than one in which you could be subject to criminal prosecution. If I say something dumb which causes me to not be able to get a ticket dismissed, I'm out a hundred and fifty bucks. If I say something stupid that causes me to get convicted of a felony...

> Seattle's crime rate, like most American cities, has been steadily declining since the 1980s.

And most cities are worlds better to live in than they were in the 1980s. Why would you want to go back?

Not trying to discount your opinion, but it sounds like much of your complaints are related to Drupal more than to PHP. Any job building web forms or hacking on a CMS is going to get old real fast, and those exist in every language used on the web. Work more interesting than building basic CRUD exists in PHP too.

Same here. I'm pretty aggressive in trying to block trackers (ublock, Firefox containers, privacy badger), so perhaps it's due to that.

For me, the trackpad and multi-touch gestures are pretty much indispensable. I occasionally consider switching to a PC, but having to go back to using a traditional mouse would be a real painful experience.

It’s crashing for me at login. Fill out the form, click submit, crash. iOS 12.2 iPhone XS.

I'm fairly unhappy with the available options for iOS. The screenshots for your app look more like what I'm interested in. Any plans to release this for iPhone?

The corner auto parts shop stocked almost every part I needed to work on a 1982 F-150.

Pick your poison. I live in a state with strong term limits on the state legislature (MI), and it has huge problems too. The large turnover means a dearth of institutional experience. So much of legislative power depends on the few legislators who are strong and smart enough to wield it. One thinks of Henry Clay, or Ted Kennedy, or Robert Byrd, or Mitch McConnell. Regardless of your thoughts on them, they were long-time legislators who cared about protecting the power of their institution and were wily enough to do it.

The power to make laws is going to go somewhere. If the legislature won't or can't accept it, it'll end up in the bureaucracy (admittedly a huge problem with out non-term limited national Congress, though for different reasons), or in the case I'm familiar with, by executive fiat and outside groups and lobbyists.
