Hey thanks mate for comments
1. Guess we need to work on it.
2. Right now it manual, I think I would definitely A/B test that.
3. Yes that's why I put Worth $7000 but we are actually discussing money at this stage. And just confirmed $2k of that :-)
Again, thanks for taking time out to reply.
At least 2 years. Google Maps/Yelp has pretty much obsoleted yellow pages.
You could denote your loan in Singaporean Dollar. Their central bank pegs the SGD to a basket of currencies, effectively giving you a similar hedge.
For real projects (ones that definitely involve other people and probably involve money in some way), most of your wasted time is not due to the language you're using.

Sure, you could be using non-strict JS or PHP and get bogged down because your typos are silently ignored, but lots of IDEs have static analysis and whatnot to prevent that. Any popular language has workarounds for its most time-wasting issues.

Where lots of time is actually lost is 1) learning and 2) reinventing the wheel.

Imagine, for example, that there's a magical language called AFP (Absolutely Fucking Perfect). It's perfect. Everything you write in it is short, concise, readable, maintainable, and compiles to hyper-efficient code for any number of cores.

Unfortunately, AFP is only used by 1,000 people. See the problem here? The time you spend learning is going to be astronomical, because you won't find the tutorials, Stack Overflow questions, books, forum posts, etc. that you find with a popular language.

And then, perhaps worse, you don't have many libraries. None of those other 1,000 people were working with REST APIs? That sucks, you have to write a module for that. None of them needed to process images? Same issue.

With AFP, you're likely looking at writing 10 times the amount of code that you would in a popular pile of garbage like PHP or JS.

Haskell is AFP. It's widely considered to be a great language, but it's just not practical. There's hardly anything built in Haskell out there for you to build your own stuff on.

We're now getting into an era where we might have the best of both worlds. Rust seems to be really interesting on that front. I've also seen the same argument for Scala, Go, and Elixir. But Haskell is not one of those frontrunner languages to take over from the slapped-together old guard of Perl, PHP, Python, and JS.
Conceptually interesting, but I agree with other commenters that tying a public login to an anonymous currency via an unvetted 3rd party that holds it for 3 months sounds more like a bad joke than any kind of real service.

Huge signup friction, virtually no payoff.

Is this even within paypal's terms? I've seen them swing the hammer for less.
Sorry about the acronyms.

MVP occurs a lot on Hacker News, in that context meaning Minimum Viable Product, or the least amount of work you must do to make it useful for users/customers.

BDD in the software context means Behaviour-Driven Design and is an opinionated way of writing tests.

With regards to step 3 in your example: Sometimes it can be challenging to design automated tests for certain functionality.

For a game, it could be scripting "fake" user input that is supposed to have a certain end result, and then verify that that end result actually occurred. E.g., the player makes a few good moves, then a few bad moves that should cause health to drop below 0, then check that the player actually died.

Automated tests are a life saver, and often it pays off in the end to learn how to write them for almost any functional requirement.

I hope I answered your questions!
Nop we don't want to deploy on AWS for contract issue. But we are moving on full dedicated OVH. I cannot provide numbers for OVH but for now we are SLA 100% on those server.

These features came over time, and there was a time when people lived without.

The real deal is the network effect, and managing to mobilize enough friend networks.
At a friends place he played me a youtube video from a regular mountain bike "influencer" (not something I'd normally watch). The subject for the day was a top female mountain biker giving some tips. He did a first run prior to any tips, and managed to demonstrate a mountaineer bike influencer doesn't need to know much about riding mountain bike fast. Then she gave him a few tips and he was a smidgen faster, but I though that was maybe just the practice.

Then she said he was over thinking it (perfectly understandable to me, given the mountain biking accidents I've seen), and put a headset on him and turned up the volume. That run was much better. Not only faster, it was visibly smoother.
How about intranasal flu vaccines?

If we developed intranasal covid vaccines, would those also produce IgA antibodies?
Thank you for your comment. It's thoughtful and insightful. And while we could argue some of the points (e.g. health-care - my view is Obamacare was hobbled). If I may however, I'd like to point out how unlikely it is that anyone making this exact comment would ever be banned from any platform. Given the topic of this post, this is an important point. And by the way, it's this quality of post that keeps me coming back to HN. So, thank you and best of luck to you. Please continue contributing to the commons with your comments.

Given that people are already calling for Godaddy to suspend donaldjtrump.com, I will look forward to the day that it is kicked off of Godaddy just like when they kicked Daily Stormer off for 'inciting violence' [0] and Gab [1] for promoting and encouraging violence against people.

You honestly think it will stop there? That is just the start of it all.

I think the point on this project and this submission is to illustrate how garbage (machine)translations end up for sentences too short or missing contexts
These are the kind of misleading takes that are more dangerous IMHO, because they play into the good faith of most people, and their fears of being placed on "the wrong side". Classic postmodern word games.

It's not censorship, that's bad: it's Transparent Deplatforming™
I'm a tiny bit disappointed that I can't open your website with the lynx web browser :)
Old article guys. Please stick year in the title.

layers?
Nope, so far the only time I've spent in Houston has been at the airport. Why?
I wonder how many of the mass shooters we've had since 2000 might have become serial killers if social standards around personal safety hadn't shifted so much.

You know, they did some risk assessment in their heads, figured they wouldn't be able to get away with killing a person once in a while over time, so they might as well kill as many as they can as fast as they can

There was also a brief serial killing spree / manhunt in Canada two years ago. That went on for a while and we're really lucky they didn't kill more than they did
I would argue that if you're asking yourself "What is the worst that could happen if someone guesses the result of random()?" and your answer is "I don't know," then you're doing something you shouldn't be doing.

There are a lot of domains where security is a non-issue and performance is a huge concern (graphics, game logic, many kind of simulations, etc), and the default is the reverse... always just use the installed non-secure random() and if that's too slow consider other options.

Having a flag you can enable to warn about a non-secure random() usage, when it makes sense for your company/usage, sure. But banning it outright makes no sense, and the default behavior you want is very situational.
Hey, this is great insight!
I've been thinking about trying solus, and one thing that's great is that it seems to support flatpaks well.
Do you think that these types of universal packages will have a large impact on less well known distributions being adopted more in the future as the need to have everything users want packaged for it is reduced significantly?
The constant use of the adjective "super" is easily the worst thing to come out of hipsterism. Yuck.

I used to drink tea exclusively, but when I was romancing the woman I would one day marry, she told me that she would not visit me unless I purchased a coffeemaker. This eventually evolved into a three pot per day habit, and a divorce.

Now I am returning to tea, but where I live I have trouble finding looseleaf tea. I far prefer it. The teabags are a poor value, I far prefer a pot of tea.

When I make tea the way I prefer, I get the water to a rolling boil, put the tea leaves in the water then turn the heat down to a slow simmer, then leave it that way so that the whole house is infused with the aroma of tea.

(Don't let the pot boil dry!)
Just saw this today... it's not bad at all. Sure it's low tech and the dialog is rough around the edges, but there were some gems in there and the end of the 1st episode is enough to make me want to see number 2.

While I agree with this point completely, I also think bitching about Apple's iPhone and Ipad "apps" is a moot point. 5 years from now it's all going to be html5, and all of these apps will run on any mobile device web browser.

Apple now has such a head start on their app platform that pretty much the only reasonable strategy their competitors can do is collude and standardize on html5 for all apps.

Then Apple has a very big problem—they will be in direct opposition to Google and the rest of the organic, growing web. Never, ever bet against the web, nor face the web upstream.

If you discount 3d games, image manipulation programs, and some other specialized software that really can't "just be a web page", then what is even left for "apps" to do that the web can't?

Apps should have been the web the entire time.
I don't see what this has to do with HTML5. Could you elaborate?
Perhaps, but as a civil liberties lawyer, he's doing his job wel, and from that perspective I commend him. Just as I commend you -- one of the few people on HN I make sure to take notice of.
What is with this crazy negativity around OnLive?

Because it sounds utterly impossible given the laws of physics. Which just means I'll be even more impressed if it actually works.
The article wasn't a criticism of Apple.
Please shoot me an email if you'd like to discuss a possible solution. I don't know if what I'm working on would be a perfect fit, but I'm in a good position to pivot if there is a real need and my project can be modified to fill it well.

Why is this exciting? I am pretty sure that iPad should be able to run any web page that Safari can run, provided the resource requirements are not too high and the features used are non-experimental (e.g. WebGL).
Google Code is shutting down this year[1], so the Vim-dev mailing list discussed migration[2]. GitHub is the most popular host for open source projects, and Google Code has an export tool for it[3], so the switch makes a lot of sense.

That said, Vim's development method is rather conservative. Vim was created in 1988, but source control wasn't used until 2004 and Bram is the only one with write access. There are no pull requests. You have to send patches to the mailing list, where they are often dropped or forgotten. Hopefully, GitHub's features will modernize things a little and make it easier for more people to contribute to Vim.

They're targeting a pilot within the next 5 years on a single beach, which should help towards figuring what side effects exist.

They also note there exist naturally occurring green sand beaches (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papakolea_Beach), though those are tourist spots and probably haven't been deeply studied.
If this were ever to happen, it would have to be similar to Clone in that it would be explicit, not implicit. This would also make it not as useful as the C++ version, but it means not giving up all of the advantages of our semantics.
Interesting. I’ve never heard that before, but I have heard them called Einkaufspanzer (shopping tanks) several times. The implication being it’s the tank you use to do your grocery shopping in.
> That is the goddamned ugliest vehicle I've ever seen.

I agree! But at the same time I want one right now :-)
> Can someone share the reasons why systemd generate so much hate ?

A handful of improvements came tied to a bunch of new constraints and limitations that were not mandatory to get those improvements. This annoys the people who deal in those less visible areas and got the short end of the stick.

A large chunk of what systemd does could have been implemented without also sprawling it's tentacles and cross-dependencies into everything. Had they rolled out that featureset first and given the rest of the ecosystem some time to evolve in response adoption would have gone much smoother.
Looks like an urban weapon for the imminent Mad Mad world Musk needs to finally mass produce his flame throwers.
I'd argue that the orignal sentence was using 'sounds' a bit symbolically, so the clearer interpretations would be closer to "there are no communications I can utter that are dangerous".

His point being about the critical thinking on the part of the listener, not about the physics of making actual sounds.
their demo of it reminded me of some of Apple's product demos when things didn't "just work" like Apple likes to brag that they do. Steve Jobs actually made them funny to watch. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/technology-50513294
I don't even understand the question in this context.

But on not turning buildings into death traps, I'd start by asking the ICWCI.
> I really don't have much hope for this bill.

It's hard to know. Of course the cards are stacked against any chance to the surveillance state, especially in the Senate, but then again this is happening within the context of several clauses of the Patriot Act (including section 215) sunsetting unless Congress extends it by June. And this bill has been crafted with an eye to getting transpartisan support; it's huge that there's a Republican co-sponsor, and how many other things do Freedom Works and Demand Progress work together on?

Also, portions of this bill were actually passed as an amendment to the Defense Authorization last June, with a surprisingly large majority. So, we shall see.
The app store is a PITA for both developers and users, both on iOS and OS X.

What keeps me in the appleversum is mostly lock-in and inertia. There were times once when I genuinely thought the Apple platform was actually the best solution for my needs. Now, they torture me more with every OS X & iOS release. I do OS updates solely to avoid planned obsolescence. I never thought I would say that: I will gladly jump ship at the first feasible opportunity, and heave a massive sigh of relief.
Broadly speaking, economics talks about three categories of things: Land (natural resources), Labor & Capital.

Looking at things from this perspective, capital includes everything from carpet, books and desk chairs to massive heavy industry factory machinery.

I've had issues with gyms and also a cable internet provider where the employees say they've processed your cancellation but I found later that for some reason it hadn't worked and I was still subscribed.

A cable provider sent me a bill for $300 of equipment I had returned three months earlier and I was only lucky I kept the receipt from returning the equipment that I could prove I had done it. Since the items had been scanned into their systems on return I could only assume malice or complete incompetence.
That’s not or shouldn’t be a trick question! “An affordance for what I’m asked to do already exists” is an excellent answer. Probably the best answer in most scenarios, and the one I’d most hope/expect to encounter from a “senior”.
Another early one, Francis Ford Coppola's The Conversation fits the bill.

> Are there any loopholes or bad behavior this might enable?

Yes; if you're a company that doesn't like Click to Cancel, and your company's Pennsylvania business is small relative to your total business, the logical choice is simply to stop serving Pennsylvania citizens.
Prevention of ossification isn't just a neat side effect of the "encrypt all the things" approach, it's the stated goal, and absolutely necessary.

Normally, I'd agree with your concern, but I'm not worried about this specific one, because it seems entirely impractical and should thus remain an academic exercise:

> Clients send the middlebox zero-knowledge proofs that their traffic is policy-compliant

- this requires integrating software with the clients sending the traffic

> performance is in striking distance of practicality; an example ... In such configurations ... client latency to create a proof is several seconds.

In other words, it's still entirely impractical. This is rounded off by:

> On the other hand, clients may have to store hundreds of MBs depending on the underlying zero-knowledge proof machinery, and for some applications, latency is tens of seconds.
Pretty good intro to the concept and importance of knowing what a Normal Accident is. I think we all, messing with computers, have had these at one point or another.
Thought about it some more, seems if you want to use the arm forces analogy, MIT is more like Navy Seals Hell Week :) Tough while you're going thru it, but the friendships last a lifetime.
Having just read that, I wouldn't characterize it as "Pinker curb-stomping Gladwell"... at all.
I think a much better feature would be a "duplicate" feature.
try to email to toast wallet support at support@starstone.com.nz. provide the screenshort of the transaction that you didnt do. it happen to my friend before and it's just a bug. do not enter recovery mode or create backup, email first
If it stops being the case, the salaries will equalize due to market pressures. But it is not the case and it probably will never be the case because different locations have different amenities and different economic situations in general, this coupled with the fact that lots of jobs can’t be done from home means that local job markets will always be differentiated.
Compatibility maybe?
some great stanford CS class videos got yanked when the instructor got resigned due to misconduct.
with their resources they could have put together a type-safe back end on sqllite with multiple available frontend APIs to gradually transfer users to Excel But Not Shitty

I think that's pretty much what they were going for with MS Access, it seems like Access hasn't matured nearly as much as its long life should have allowed. Possibly because it would eat too much into SQL Server. They have to keep its feature footprint too small to appeal to users who only barely need something like SQL Server.

As for Excel == slow, yeah-- I actually do like Excel, it's in my toolbox, but waiting 5 minutes for a vlookup against a few hundred thousand records to complete because I need one single column in another sheet is maddening when it would take nearly no time at all if I loaded the data into Python -> Pandas.
honestly i don't think they despise it; they seem a lot friendlier to it at least on social grounds. But everyone needs meaning; the religious force is in everyone, and if religion is weakened, well, transhumanism can easily replace it
These sounds are fascinating. Curious to know if these sounds mimic or has a representation of something in the real world.

For example:

Audio Clip 1 - this is what I might first think of as random noise.

Audio Clip 2 - is this also random noise or is there some kind of pattern to this?
> But again, if you have a large codebase written in Zig,

At this point it means you're probably Andrew himself because the Zig compiler is the only large Zig codebase out there;)
It's the same for men in fashion. It is just a matter of market value. We are talking about opportunities here, not how valued they are.
Oh I don't want to force anyone who has that fear through that, and I'm not suggesting it. All I'm saying is put a barrier to prevent it being easy to be classified as this type of driver so that it isn't abused.
It's inextricably linked because that's what he advocated for in his more famous political tract. Yes, gulags weren't mentioned by name. However, mass industrialized revolution was a seen as a requirement to any pursuit of Communism.
Concurred. Would love the flavor in a clean seltzer.
RedBull is a master class in marketing, from top to bottom.
In many countries, vendors from Apple to the guy selling apples on the street-corner collect Value-Added Tax (VAT) from their customers. It's a kind of sales tax that applies to all sales, not just retail sales to end users. It's harder for companies to play the international shell game with sales than it is with cash.

VAT seems to be sufficiently fair, workable, and enforceable. People don't like it, but nobody likes taxes.

The US feds can't do VAT though. It took the 16th amendment to allow the feds to collect income tax from people; it carves out an exception to the Article 1 requirement that all taxes be apportioned among the states by population.

This corporate alternative minimum tax idea seems to be a way to stay within the bounds of the 16th amendment and still collect business taxes.

None of it matters at all unless the tax-audit authorities get more teeth than they now have. Business-tax compliance in the US could easily go down Greece's path, where you're a chump unless you cheat.
Can you please name the app? I've tried all I could find on Oneplus 2 & 6 but couldn't get the call recording working.
> On the other hand, any departure from a pure interpretation of the law is very dangerous

You should read the law in question. This would be Section 107 of the Copyright Act, which defines "fair use". It's extremely vague and is best interpreted as a set of considerations that the courts should take into account so that they can handle situations like this one on a case by case basis. If Congress wanted to be more prescriptive, they could (ETA: and if they become unhappy with the courts' decisions they still can in the future), but I think that would lead to worse outcomes.
Thank you! Also a case study in how simple conclusions ("OMG LEED doesn't save energy") can be both true and misleading.
Are larger accounts coming anytime soon? I'd kill for 250gb.

Résumé/CV: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stetson-blake-31635252/

Email: stetsblake@gmail.com

I'm currently working as an SRE but looking for a change.

I run a successful side business, a community and newsletter which is monetized via sponsorships from Software Companies. I prepared packages, did prospecting for sponsors and sold them all while maintaining the community and growing things.

I have experience launching multiple SaaS side projects, like https://earlybrd.io

I'm not sure what is next for me, I have an interest in product development, web scraping, analytics, hosting and lots more

I can write backend, frontend, and deploy and monitor production applications and monitor them, then market them.
