Nope, at least not as a standard. The original DOM spec is dated 1 October 1998.

What do you see as the irony?

If they can come up with the money then who cares?

It would be a much better case for regulating if there were some external payer.

"Add to that the automatic CAPTCHA-hellban you get if you use "site:" in anything more than a tiny amount"

Source? This would be worrisome.

No, an externality is when the transaction leaks costs/benefits into the wider society, outside of what's priced in.

"The positive externalities far outweigh the negative ones. Society can't function without cheap energy."

I mean, nitpick I guess? but cheap energy isn't a positive externality of the energy industry, it's the product.

Some adverbs not ending in "-ly" are always, soon, today, ever, yet.

"The Python interpreter has a number of functions and types built into it that are always available." [1]

"Long option values can be split across multiple lines simply by indenting the continuation lines." [2]

Agree with your teacher in that the first one seems fine. [1] https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html

According to [1]

"in 1968, he defended his PhD thesis on "Computational Complexity and Program Structure" at Harvard under the supervision of Patrick C. Fischer. However, Ritchie never officially received his PhD degree as he did not submit a bound copy of his dissertation to the Harvard library, a requirement for the degree."

So he had bigger and better things to do than mere filing. Plausible!

Do 40% of software engineers work fully remotely now?

"Real" is a term of art for something inflation-adjusted, as opposed to nominal. That's it. Scare quotes and metaphysical discussion of realness are inferring deeper meaning that isn't there. Of course you can have expectations about real interest rates: if expected real and nominal interest rates are about equal, you'd tend to feel that keeping your money under your mattress is about as attractive as keeping your money in treasuries.

On Android,

overrides this (h/t someone HN when I complained about this too).

"This government surveillance has had a measurable chilling effect on Wikipedia users, with research documenting a drop in traffic to Wikipedia articles on sensitive topics, following public revelations about the NSA’s mass surveillance in 2013."

How do you rate a good software developer with a bad one? Software development is a but different than most professions. Counting completed Jira tickets solves for the wrong thing as developers are forced to game the ticket system rather than optimize for business value. /s

And yet somehow we continue to hire and manage software developers, evaluating their performance holistically.

What is it about teaching that supposedly makes skill so uniquely opaque to administrators that it's (teach to the test) XOR (pay by seniority).

> It is in fact that simple.

Why?

Wow, checked that link an hour ago and almost everything was in stock then.

Are your sure your anecdote confirms this?

The higher cognitive function that leads you to read books about quitting could be exactly the mechanism the GP describes.

If books can help you quit, less bookish people will quit less, all else equal.

Well said, though presumably if your work was _BBC Tokyo correspondent_, that would be a weird argument.

Design pattern spaghetti is absolutely a thing.

I feel like self-contained, self-describing, potentially self-validating data types like in the parent comment would tend to be complexity-reducing as long as they don't mix in control flow or deep deep inheritance hierarchies, though.

It could also be inexperience.

If your experience is limited to academic projects, grinding leetcode, even competitive programming, you've done things where first one is nearly always optimal.

Once you are on a team optimizing for continued feature delivery over time, the cognitive load of picking up and understanding old code full of raw maps and strings starts to justify the overhead of a bit more semantic scaffolding in places.

IMO the necessary judgment has to be learned even by smart, academically talented people.

Put another way, the feature is an asset, the code is a liability.

Scotland occupies the northern third of the island of Great Britain.

No, it's just wrong to say they're completely different metrics. The Venn diagram between the economic activity measured by GNI (national income) and the economic activity measured by GDP is almost a circle.

US GDP in 2021 was $23 trillion. US GNI (national income) im 2021: was $23.3 trillion.

"monetary flows"

You're right, remittances and foreign aid are income but not GDP.

> GDP isn't income at all, they're completely different metrics.

Please explain where income comes from if not from the sum of goods and services produced?

This is a California state law.

As I understand it, rescue breathing is indicated.

The fact that a few people without deep pockets need SSO doesn't invalidate the whole enterprise.

If we accept that service providers are going to price discriminate, then we accept that they are going to price discriminate on _some_ imperfect heuristic.

It seems to me that you have to argue

(A) Businesses should not price discriminate

Or

(B) price discrimination based on marginal features is okay but this particular feature (needing SSO) isn't very predictive

Or

(C) This particular feature might be predictive, but security is too important to be part of a willingness-to-pay heuristic, so it's unethical to use this particular feature in this way.

C seems like the argument a lot of people here are obliquely making.

Wrong as in unethical or wrong as in untrue?
