Ditto. A non-Amazon option would also be great.

> Knowing where sed output is generated

Is the use of "sed" intentional or a typo? Either way, I love it.

Agreed. But in those cases where I don't like DDG results, I like how I can add "!g" to the end of my search and it redirects the search to Google.

Sugar is an excellent example.

In fact, the sugar industry has been behind the effort to deflect blame to fat for the last 50 years.

My Dad told me rear-engine planes were popular because they were quieter for most of the passengers in the cabin, except for those near the back. But that was the 80s. The post doesn't talk about that. Maybe engines are generally quieter now so this is a non-issue?

I am sorry you had that experience. Mine was similar (around 1990s).

But these days, integrated classrooms (as mentioned in your article) tend to be staffed with two teachers: one with a general education background and one with special education. They work as a team and can provide differentiated learning paths. The lower teacher/student ratio can help both the gen ed and special ed students.

A lot of people in this thread are caught up with the term "company town". I agree this headline is poorly chosen. The article itself lacks depth.

For a better analysis of Amazon's entrenched relationship with the Inland Empire in California, check out Erika Hayasaki's writing for the NY Times Magazine: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/18/magazine/amazon-workers-e...

I highly recommend "The Psychology of Judgment and Decision Making" by Scott Plous. It's a concise, 260-page survey of all the research into cognitive biases. It cites a lot of other research than Kahneman/Tversky and gets right to the heart of the topic without being dry.

Psychology is a big field. A lot of the work in the psychology of judgment and decision-making is very reproducible, especially in the area of cognitive bias.

I'm still tempted to read Emotional Intelligence. It's hard to believe it was published over 25 years ago. It's topic has been integrated a lot into work and home culture (including me), though there's still a ways to go (including for me).

Is it still a good read? Is there another book like it that hackers recommend?

I used to work in the telecom world back then. I would have thought that by 2021 the meticulously-architected ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) standard would have replaced the ancient TCP/IP protocol. Nope.

Then I would be wrong again, because I would have thought IPv6 would be everywhere...

For about 24 hours last summer, Citizen app on Android would play the audio from a "Who's that Pokemon? Rick Roll" video when there was an alert. They quietly fixed it. I can only imagine that it went to prod because it was a goofy test alert sound that accidentally got promoted out of a QA environment?

This is a nice simple test.

But note for others: you need to be logged out of GitHub to see the animation. Or open GitHub in a private window.

This made me wonder how to do it now, in Firefox 86. I found this helpful page: https://askubuntu.com/questions/797135/how-to-disable-http-r...

TL;DR about:config --> Network.http.sendRefererHeader --> change value from 2 to 0

My observation as a user is that it's still good if you are starting a new account from scratch. But if you have been using it for a decade and made lots of customizations and added plugins over the years, they get more clunky as they continue to update their product.

It's from his memoir

Bingo. To me, this is the key point of the article:

> It’s hard to think and teach at the same time!

This teacher seems pretty bright. I'm sure if she had a few quiet minutes to think and regroup, she could come up with a stellar explanation. But instead, she has to proceed with the lesson, manage the classroom, and tackle an interesting puzzle at the same time.

At home, merely trying to manage my work and two kids with their remote learning often puts me in the same spot. I will often do some tutoring with them during a work break. But my brain power is already silently depleted, so if any kind of obstacle or creative question arises, I struggle to even begin thinking of an approach to it.

I originally thought so too, but based on the CEO's blog post, it sounds like they are more involved with ICE for this project than simply licensing their product to an independent contractor: https://blog.chef.io/2019/09/19/chefs-position-on-customer-e...

Any theory about why there is a local photo for every street in College Point, Queens? It's about 3 o'clock in the NY map here: https://flic.kr/p/87P99x.

Did Alooma really stop support for Redshift and Snowflake? Officially they say they still do https://www.alooma.com/solutions/data-warehousing

Maybe you're personally noticing a difference in the amount of support before and after the acquisition?

The whole set-up is such an interesting work of art.

If you asked a visitor who didn't know the background, "Which statue was installed by a corporation and which was guerilla art?", they would probably say the bull was corporate and the girl was unauthorized street art. And they would be 100% wrong.

I believe Equifax and others are offering a free credit freeze through June 30. Here's the clearest description I could find: https://www.nerdwallet.com/blog/finance/equifax-credit-freez...

However, I'm not an expert and I'd like to hear more about this.

+1 for Atlanta and The Wire as eye-opening depictions of daily life in poverty. But even in TV, these examples are the exception to the rule, sadly. The only other successful show I can think of is Rosanne, which means we're averaging about one a decade.

It would be helpful to add a maternity/paternity leave column to your great spreadsheet.

Staggeringly, the United States still lacks a national unpaid leave policy. Plus companies in other countries on your spreadsheet might offer additional leave than what is required.

Has there been any empirical research done on this? Whenever this topic comes up on the Internet it is very charged and full of assumptions. I suspect that the creation/utilization of safe spaces and trigger warnings is actually rather low in a country with almost 14 million students in higher education.

"There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

There is another theory which states that this has already happened."

This is purely anecdotal, but I am seeing far fewer replyallpocalypses than I did 10-15 years ago.

Has something changed, like better server or client email software? Or perhaps admins and users are more savvy about avoiding this kind of behavior?

(Maybe I've just been lucky to not have to deal with one of these for several years.)

Obamacare doesn't have a head tax. It has a mandate and a tax penalty, and the penalty is proportional to income with a ceiling.
