You do have to do a bit more than write down zeroes, you have to put your EIN on the top of every page, make sure your addresses are all correct, make sure you didn't miss any of the other little things, then take it to the post office, etc, etc, etc.

Yeah, that was the main "better" feature :-)

To bring back ColdFusion, you'd need some substantial useful tools written in it. The way PHP support is buoyed along by WordPress, forum software, photo site software, etc.

We made a comparison here: https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/documentation/design/benchmar...

Other comments from my colleagues also shed light on Garage's specific features (do check the discussion on Raft).

In a nutshell, Garage is designed for higher inter-node latency, thanks to less round-trips for reads & writes. Garage does not intend to compete with MinIO, though - rather, to expand the application domain of object stores.
1910s had the spanish flu, we have (had??) the COVID-19, so...yep
The other person’s analogy is better, yours sucks.

Using the previous analogy, but applying your critique, it would be asking the plumber to become an electrician.

Personally I cannot imagine being a programmer and only writing in one language. I currently code in multiple languages, and have forgotten more as well (at least I hope I don’t need PexBasic anymore)
So lets discuss what happened here. In the middle of January the federal government made it mandatory to get vaccinated. Effectively putting many Truckers out of a job. They are also denied any benefits. So what are they to do? Tons of other major countries have already removed all restrictions. UK, Ireland, Scandinavia, etc. So we are sitting here wondering what's wrong with our government.

Hence the now unemployed truckers went to Ottawa to protest. Which is their human right? Even their charter right?

Before they arrived in Ottawa, 1 guy with a nazi flag walked around all over Ottawa and had photographers following him. There's a pretty large bounty to identify this dude, yet nobody can seem to do it.

However, the stories wrote themselves. From our state propaganda... They are a fringe minority of white supremacist truckers. Very unusually there were updates from the police on the highways saying the convoy was tiny, only a few trucks. Like an attempt to label this fringe minority tiny and can be ignored? Very unusual, never seen the police do this before.

The trucker convoy showed up in Ottawa and we discovered oh wait, they are a bunch of Indians. Not white supremacists at all. I dont know the statistic, but pretty significant portion of truckers are Indian. The number of videos mocking the propaganda media where not-white people are claiming to be white supremacists is pretty hilarious.

Then the media spun it again and now people believe the protest is against masks? LOL?

They raised significant $ on gofundme, who seized the funds and at first were going to be donating to left-wing charities. They have since autorefunded. However, what was the rule that they broke? It actually required the government to label the protest a military occupation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_occupation

This designation is very narrow international definition. The allegation by the Canadian government is that they lost control of Ottawa to the protestors. This fringe minority trucker convoy who hasn't invaded any buildings is labelled a military occupation in order to remove their human/charter rights.

It's worse, the propaganda media labelled the solidarity protests in various cities around the country as a 'nation-wide insurrection'

The ottawa police have also started arresting anyone who is bringing 'material support' to the military occupation.

So why the sudden need for an online censorship bill? The government who clearly removed the protestors human rights wish to go further. Remove their ability to counter the clear propaganda being produced against them.

Canada who has some of the most strict covid restrictions is ignoring the protestors and not joining much of Europe by returning our rights. They are planning to remove more of our human rights.

In other news: https://twitter.com/ChrisEnsingCBC/status/149088948355370598...

This bridge isn't the only way in and out but this shutting down is huge. Not much of a fringe minority eh?
Our society no longer seeks practical solutions.

Yes, I've wanted to implement for loops and while loops that can alter the local binding for awhile (that compile to separate functions in the same way Erlang compiles list comprehensions to separate functions)

I still haven't gotten around to it...
Perhaps. Rebar is cool. But I'd like for as much of Reia as possible to be accessible to Rubyists with little or no knowledge of Erlang.

In particular, if it turns out to reduce infection rate, taking it prophylactically will save the lives of everyone who would otherwise die for lack of a ventilator, or who would die even with one. If it does not turn out to reduce infection rate, no harm done.

If it turns out to shorten the illness, everyone sick, and also everyone taking it prophylactically who is actually infected but asymptomatic, will reduce their contagion rate by joining the ranks of the non-contagious sooner, reducing everyone's risk. If it does not turn out to shorten the illness, no harm done.

Chloroquine is well-known. If it caused an unacceptable rate of liver failure we would already know.

I see suggestions that it takes a very high doses to work. But that might be so only for the already severe infections they are using it on. It should be easy enough to discover whether low doses work prophylactically, and safe enough to try them while waiting on results.
I used a standing desk for a few years. Then I had ACL surgery and it wasn’t viable for a while. Standing desks are worth trying. Set one up on the cheap and give it a go for a couple of months. You’ll learn something and maybe it will be great for your work.

I tried going back, but putting the keyboard in my lap was a much better ergonomic improvement for me.
Yes, because speaking or retiring a particular, hazily defined metric, is the same as suggesting we retire all metrics.

Extra points for using both the "slippery slope" fallacy (retire 1 metric = might as well suggest retiring all), and the wrong idea that "no metric measures anything that matters".

There are metrics that do capture everything that matters in their domain. Whole factories are operated, and manage to run smoothly, not to be blown off etc, by monitoring such metrics.

If TFA had said "they don't measure everything" you'd be justified, but it says "everything that matters" (and of course, "about the domain we want to measure" goes without saying).
Sounds like a military boot camp.
The electromagnetic field configuration does contribute energy/momentum. In general, every field that interacts with the election field contributes: an “electron” stands for a complicated joint excitation of the electron, photon, W/Z boson, quark, gluon, ... quantum fields and what we call the momentum/energy of the electron is just the total of that of all of these fields.

If you live the the US, that’s likely a violation of FTC regulations against deceptive pricing[0].

My guess is that the “discount” phenomenon has a somewhat more innocent explanation; it’s the result of aggressive inventory management and sophisticated dynamic pricing models. Launch at a high price to snag the price-insensitive customers, and gradually discount down to pull in the lower end of the market and keep your unit volume relatively predictable (very helpful for just-in-time inventory management).

I'm at about 20 years of using a computer with no pain or strain and from really early on I've always ensured my forearms are always parallel to the ground.

From there you can stand or sit.

When sitting I used to use chairs that had arm rests so there was no pressure or strain. When standing I sort of do the same thing, except there's less forearm support.

The most recent picture of my desk set up is at: https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/build-your-own-8x4-foot-white...

When I stand straight my eyes are roughly 1/3rd of the way down from the top of the monitor. This set up seems to be working well after a couple of years.

I also think what helps is that I'm not a home row typist. This is probably an unpopular opinion and maybe totally wrong but I personally find it way more comfortable if I'm moving my hands around regularly instead of just locking everything in place for extended periods of time where I only move my fingers.

Please don't do this here. The "crowd" includes you, and such generalizations are mostly bias.
I liked the somewhat elegant heuristic for general infix-to-prefix conversion:

<quote>
{...} contains an "infix list". If the enclosed infix list has (1) an odd number of parameters, (2) at least 3 parameters, and (3) all even parameters are the same symbol, then it is mapped to "(even-parameter odd-parameters)". Otherwise, it is mapped to "(nfx list)" — you'll need to have a macro named "nfx" to use it

That being said, (still-prefer 'I (using 'parentheses :in 'Scheme)).

Now, if someone added mix-fix syntax to Scheme...

When asking a question, you should use a question mark. Your last comma should be a colon or semicolon, or even better, you could split the sentence in two.

I find it perfectly readable anyway, but I'm quite sure the comment is technically right.
Or even link to that article; it was clearly the motivation behind this post.
There is a more nuanced view to be had of the current situation. For instance, Richard Florida has a new book out called The Great Reset.

http://www.amazon.com/Great-Reset-Working-Post-Crash-Prosper...

Florida offers compelling evidence that the 1930s were the most innovative decade of the 20th century. Many new business practices were invented at this time. And this is when Hewlett Packard got going, and with it, what later came to be called "Silicon Valley".

The 1930s were also, at the same time, the worst economic disaster in the history of the USA. So an era can be both disastrous and very innovative. Those are not opposites. To say (as Steve Blank does) that we are at the beginning of an entrepreneurial revolution is inspiring. But he should be able to see that we can have both an entrepreneurial revolution and an economic disaster. Both are possible at the time.

This can be shown with a very simple graph. I will post that later.
What does this do that ssh -Dport user@host does not?
I was also thinking about something similar a while back until I discovered oStatus (http://www.ostatus.org) and its related projects (ActivityStreams, PubSubHubbub, Salmon, etc). While I think an implementation over SMTP could work quite well, I think using PubSubHubbub has a reasonable advantage in that doesn't require app developers to use ports other than standard HTTP ports (80 & 443). This isn't a big deal for major websites, but part of the advantage of having a truly distributed social network is that even the little guys can join the game--which means it should be as easy as setting up something like say, WordPress.
I've given friends directions to my building by showing it to them on Street View. It isn't devoid of upsides.
Tesla articles are upvoted, because Tesla's success is a major source of entrepreneurial inspiration. They could've been making garden rakes and it would've not made any difference.
All submodule updates will be reflected in the parent log. The screenshots are tied to commits, so you get per-shot history, diffs and know which commits changed which files. Git would not be more efficient at storing most compressed image formats than the filesystem.
Haha. I wonder how the 'pottery jar with lid' approach contrasts with the budget of Kew Gardens' seedbank in London.
Don't forget that they also care about the environment and the US dependence on foreign oil. They will also save money since they don't need to buy gasoline.
I believe they said "to accelerate the production of fuel-efficient vehicles for mainstream Americans and reduce the nation's dependency on oil."

If you think the only difference between these two stories is the tone then you didn't read them very carefully, or you're trying to draw a false equivalence between the people involved

> The ACLU in June filed a complaint against the Detroit police, alleging the department arrested the wrong man based on a flawed, incomplete match provided by facial recognition software. In the wake of the ACLU's complaint, Detroit Police Chief James Craig admitted that the software his agency uses misidentifies suspects 96 percent of the time.

> DC Metropolitan Police and the FBI will probably need to look no further than a cursory Google search to identify many of the leaders of Wednesday's insurrection, as many of them took to social media both before and after the event to brag about it in detail. In short: you don't need fancy facial recognition tools to identify people who livestream their crimes
Some days I dream of a distant future in which an average being (human or otherwise) comes in contact with a hard disk drive containing humanity's knowledge. I think about the vast number of layers that have been combined to create such a marvel of technology, simply to store data in an efficient way. Sure, you might be able to figure out the physics of magnetic storage, or even the basic electronics, but what about the motor controller? The architecture and firmware on the storage controller? The electrical interfaces to the storage controller?

Let's assume you even get that far.

What about the physical layout of data on the drive? The filesystem? The file formats?

That's not even all of it, and there is just so, so much that would be incomprehensible to a single individual, however intelligent.

It's truly incredible how we've been able to combine years and years of knowledge into something most humans would just take for granted.

You may want to consider a broker. There will be fees, should you decide to do a deal.

However, they supply dealflow and they will work on your behalf.

If your numbers are as described you may have acquisition opportunity better than what your being presented now.

You will be given a solid idea of estimated value well in advance of meeting anyone, and are not obligated to sell at all.

I sold a side project using a broker last year and was pleased with the outcome.

As a Gentoo user and an enthusiastic non-x86 user, when I was just reading the opening, I expected to hear an argument about the necessity of supporting uncommon architectures as a standard library. Gentoo supports a broad range of systems, every time an underlying library switches to a less supported environment creates a headache for Gentoo developers and users, "vintage architecture needs some love" would be an interesting article (not saying it's practical, but interesting). Unfortunately, the author's main argument is a denial of C's memory safety problems. I was disappointed.
> First, their argument for Rust (and against C) because of memory safety implies that they have not done due diligence in finding and fixing such bugs.

No, it implies that finding such bugs is exponentially harder in C than it is in other languages. Eventually you reach so far up the diminishing returns curve that you simply are able to accomplish more in one language with your time on Earth than you can in another. This is a numbers game, and C loses out to safer competitors when it comes to bugs.

The due diligence that these developers are doing is a meta-analysis that has gone over your head.

> And with my bc, I did my due diligence with memory safety. I fuzzed my bc and eliminated all of the bugs.

That's a pretty absolute claim. And one I doubt.

I'll save my trust for people humble enough to understand the limitations of technologies and themselves.

> Right now, as far as I know, there is no official language spec for Zig, like there is for Go. This means that this new compiler may not match what the official compiler does.

They’re actively working on a spec for Zig btw. Here’s Andrew talking about it, first thing as part of the roadmap video: https://youtu.be/pacsngNYXI0
I understand why people are angry and that portability is a worthwhile goal in many scenarios. I also understand that Rust is far from the ubiquity that C has achieved. I also understand that people feel betrayed by a library they depended on drastically altering its dependency structure.

On the other hand, there's a group of developers with limited resources and perceived moral high ground in terms of security that fits right in with the trends that I've observed in the cryptography community.

Both sides have valid arguments. Which sides of this split you fall on depends on your personal values and immediate needs.

Ultimately, the whole debate is fruitless bickering because you cannot reconcile differences in values. This doesn't just apply to the Python "cryptography" library, but also other places where a switch to Rust was enforced by upstream.

The alternative is to define "closer" portability (iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, desktop/server Linux) and "wider" portability (BSDs, illumos, QNX, custom embedded OSes, architectures that aren't x86_64 and ARM). Then make it clear from the get-go which one of these you're aiming for.
>1s is an eternity in a close fight, and players don’t just react, they also read ahead and align inputs based on the situation they expect, regardless of the speed of the game.

This was a pretty obvious result when LinusTechTips did their different frame rate testing in first person shooter games. Higher frame rate benefited worse players more than skilled players. My assumption is that skilled players have learned the pattern. Kind of like martial arts - you practice a flow of moves so that you can execute them without having to think about the next move. (Perhaps this is also how people type very quickly.)
We’ve a LG C9 OLED TV purchased in late 2019. It was never plugged into the internet. Wi-Fi is disabled on it as well. We’ve an Apple TV for everything else. We trust that far more than any smart TV. I would have paid extra for a TV that had no smarts: no Wi-Fi hadware, no fancy OS; if it was just really good at taking signal and presenting it to the screen well and was very very dumb otherwise I’d have chosen that.
Considering your examples: if I have the sword of Sauron in the game, then it’s mine. I collected a lot of digital items during my life and never had a need for a blockchain. I would also never care if a « true owner » is registered somewhere as long as I have mine. Same for Pokémon’s, if I have them in my game then they are mine.

This is why hacker news, despite all its problems, is such a joy. There are people doing some amazing stuff that I can learn so much from (while trying not to think to hard about how lazy I am).

This is pretty cool! I really like that dates (and timezone info) are first class types. Often neglected, time ser/de has been a monkeywrench in many a project.

Protobufs are neat but `protoc` is an absolute nightmare. I would warn against going down the path of transpiling to lang-specific message files if at all possible (I don't think you are taking that approach, but github freezes my phone browser, I'll look more on my dev machine)

Great stuff! I would love to see this get more traction. Interchange formats are a classic victim of critical mass necessity.
