On the margin, yes. If a language helps to deliver a better product (fewer bugs, more dependable, etc) then your prior should be that that is a good thing that will, all else equal, make for a better product. But I don't accept the premise that it is easier and faster to deliver a working product in a different language. Maybe it is in some cases but me and my time are most productive and produce the highest quality product using Scala. And I think that has a lot to do with the language and the ecosystem itself. But ymmv and if it's not a good fit for your team then you shouldn't use it.
A reproducible pseudorandom sequence is necessary for fuzz testing with randomized inputs. It isn't strictly the domain of "ancient C". Why should everyone be hobbled by security guarantees they won't need?
Agreed. My point tho is not that mercenary interests are not willing to go to war to exploit resources, it's that the their interest in those resources has more to do with their persuit of status than with an underlying need for resources.
It's true that hardcore FP folks have been a problem in the past, and to some extent still are.

However, things have definitely gotten a lot better now. There's a large contingent of "boring Scala" folks in the online community, and its growing. See this discussion https://www.reddit.com/r/scala/comments/lfbjcf/does_anyone_h... for example

AFAIK a lot of the wannabe-Haskell-programmers ended up transitioning fully to actual-Haskell-programmers too, which is probably a win-win that's good for everyone involved. Life's to short to use a language you hate, different strokes for different folks and all.
No problem, thanks for the suggestions.

Yeah it's a bit more suited towards getting professional sounding audio (or least a few notches above casual Zoom calls), but would work for anyone doing Zoom calls regularly in case they wanted to up their quality without breaking the bank or going off the deep end in hardware.
Wait 3 days to see the real price as a result of earnings.
I’m assuming this keeps chicken prices lower.

Is this a bad thing?

I guess it could be if it is because of gnarly things they’re doing, but if it is primarily breeding larger chickens, well, that sounds ok.
Mypy together with this plug-in gives you typing for django. https://github.com/TypedDjango/django-stubs
For a long time, I encouraged my IRL friends to set up their personal newsletter and write once or twice a month so I can subscribe to. Quite similar to this social media idea.

I think it's a very good way of getting updates from people I care about. Social media is just too noisy.

The plan hasn't been working very well unfortunately.
There's nothing more American than exercising your freedom to be an uninformed consumer and get swindled
"He was accused by many" is routine in other Wikipedia articles and is one of the ways experienced Wikipedians learn to sneak bias into articles.
For starters, "Yeah, I’m sorry that you can’t understand English" was obviously an egregious violation of the site guidelines.

We don't care about people saying "fuck". We care about the things that are in the guidelines, such as being kind, not being snarky, not calling names, and so on.

I generally agree, but I think you might underestimate how many customers _globally_ are very price sensitive. I have relatives overseas and a price difference of ~$40 is pretty sizable over there. Apple devices are seen as quite a luxury there.
No innovation whatsoever.
A DeFi loan is paying a premium and _decreasing_ the amount of liquid assets available to you.

No, because from their point of view the crypto they put as collateral is NOT liquid. the entire point is do not sell them but somehow get cash from it.
It is very typical on the left for a personal account of the experience and psychology of being X to also be a political argument. Even if the author didn't intend it that way, it's certainly being used in the context of a political argument now. Note the replies by monk_e_boy and rayiner who take the statement on face value and argue that the payoff to education/savings is very small for poor people.

I'm not saying that we should tell poor people to "just get over it". I'm saying that there is a very real difference between what is objectively true, and what some poor people feel to be true[1]. If we confuse these two, it's not possible to have a sensible discussion on the matter. I'm all for helping people out by trying to alleviate the psychological impact of poverty. Personally I favor European/Australian/NZ/Canada style welfare states, it seems like a proven approach.

[1] And the "self fulfilling prophecy" doesn't remove this difference, because there is still a difference between society denying people opportunities directly, and people not taking opportunities that they have because of some self-fulfilling belief.

EDIT: added footnote
Creator here. Yes, it's random, but that's - hopefully - going to be a part of the beauty in the future.

I don't want to moderate it at all. Ever.
We have a page showing our deployment process but It was removed recently as it's being improved.

We connect to any ssh service and run the commands to deploy your application using GIT.

This saves you from having to setup hooks.

Deployments can be automatically triggered.
No, all that it needs is the new nanokernel.
"He did not know how long she had been looking at him, but perhaps for as much as five minutes, and it was possible
that his features had not been perfectly under control. It was terribly dangerous to let your thoughts wander when you were in any public place or within range of a telescreen. The smallest thing could give you away. A nervous tic, an unconscious look of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourself--anything that carried with it the suggestion of abnormality, of having something to hide. In any case, to wear an improper expression on your face (to look incredulous when a victory was announced, for example)
was itself a punishable offence. There was even a word for it in Newspeak: FACECRIME, it was called."

This is odious civic discourse on its face.
Does the mutual funds actually push for such people or is it caused by the culture or something like that?
did everyone fail statistics? average doesn't mean anything without knowing standard deviation. if possible just show me the distribution itself.
With all this talk of domain name seizure, I wonder if any ISPs (big, small, whatever) support alternate DNS or the .i2p domain name.
I'm from Europe too. There are some specifics, but you can look at Wikipedia and find calculators online that explain what is deducted from gross income.

You have social security, medicare, state and federal income tax.

You should take into account that some parts of the US are more expensive than others, and that state income tax is not the same for every state. Also, 401k (pension plans) and some other types of savings, investments are deductible from the taxes.

It all depends on who you live with, do you have children, etc.
"a whole bunch of people who'd started writing Perl in 1994 for CGI scripts had cause to revisit their own work a year or 5 years later to maintain it or to add features and found it utterly incomprehensible."

You can write garbage in any language. If these people found their own code incomprehensible, it's their own fault.

"But for 50,000 line applications worked on over 10 years by dozens of different people, it was never a good choice."

I've yet to be convinced that Ruby or Python are any better. In many ways they're even worse.
Just get some remote/freelance programming work with long-term potential and then hire someone else to do all of it for you and keep the difference.

Make sure to pick a client who is in a very lucrative high-margin industry, so that even once the work dries up they will want to keep you on payroll incase something goes wrong. They might literally pay you a salary to do nothing just for the one day a year things break.
> No incentives for quality.

Is that so? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_quality_mark_of_the_USSR: "Obtaining the sign allowed the enterprises to increase the state controlled price for the goods by ten percent." Arguably this was abused, as explained later, but the original statement that quality control was absent in USSR is not entirely correct. There were penalties for "doing things deliberately wrong" and quite severe from what I recall. Then again I might have warped perception as I grew up in a city with several "black box factories".

Edit: typo
Many sites including HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/rss) provide RSS feeds, so you could presumably navigate to the relevant page for the share/comment/like functionality. I realize that's not ideal but it seems well within reason to me.

Software exists to translate RSS feeds to ActivityPub actors (ex https://github.com/dariusk/rss-to-activitypub). Going the other direction, Pleroma provides RSS feeds. Not sure about Mastodon or Misskey.
I wanted to quickly hack together something and was too lazy to reverse engineer their private API. So I settled for their web app and Playwright (cross browser Puppeteer alternative). The auth stuff for their web app is stored in IndexedDB, so for it to work with Playwright you have to replicate the DB inserts.

It's pretty straight forward because Playwright is easy to use and has good documentation. You just need to have some basic CSS skills to find the correct selectors, but it's really not complex (Instagram and other big sites make it a bit harder).

I could run the script in a cronjob, but I decided to just start it manually whenever I want. So I have it connected to a Telegram bot of mine where I can just tell the bot to like the next n people.

I might write a small blog post about it at some point.
A nitpick though from someone that actually used a 300 baud modem without dialing function, baud != bps [0]

I'm old, my parents have Both passed away. And yes, they were both passive-aggressive (I see that now).

I am not blaming them, and I am not relieving myself from my own responsibilities, I am just noticing.

Time for me now to fix things, and lead a better life for myself, and the people around me, from my friends to my co-workers to everyone else.
Do they not anymore? That’s horrible. Deliberate reduction of the internet into a platform for consumption instead of bidirectional communication.
> “why no one ever bothered to build a Heroku for AWS”

You realize Heroku has always run on AWS. Heroku is the “Heroku for AWS”.
People tend to forget a lot of what they learned over the 9-18 years they spent in school. Then complain that a topic, which is taught in schools, should be taught in schools.

Example: how interest is calculated. It's been part of algebra for a while now and most states require algebra to graduate. Thus, if you graduated high school, someone taught you about interest rates. You just forgot.

I'm guilty of this too. I don't remember much of what I learned in grammar school. I went back to research the parts of sentences and found that it's a topic taught in the third grade.
I never looked at it this way. That is an interesting perspective to think about it.
I will definitely remember this.

Thanks a lot!
I've been told by multiple people I respect variations of "If you cannot argue the other side's argument in good faith and well, then you really don't know what you believe yourself".

I do fail in this with some of the extremes. I just cannot figure out the why of the "flat earth" thing since I don't understand who "profits" in some way from a cover-up.
Office 365 is embarassingly better in every way
Purely a thought experiment here: what do you think would happen if rather than making "ugly people" free to message, you incentivized the message? Pay $1 per message to a hot person, get paid $1 per message to an ugly person.

I wonder if that market would find equilibrium.

Edit: I guess the "purely a thought experiment" disclaimer got dismissed by everybody looking for a little outrage today. This is not a business plan, I just think it's interesting to think about these things.

The scenario of the question depicts extreme circumstances. It does not imply that sending the military is a good idea to deal with any protest.
So it's not true. You don't have rust?
The "Windy City" moniker comes from a reference to local politics, not the weather. In my personal experience Chicago is no more windy than any other place I've visited. Otherwise, as I heard from Norwegians, there is no bad weather, just bad clothes.

Hi All,

I’ve been working on Aidmin for quite some time now, and finally released a beta version of it.

I’ve focused most of my efforts on security, making sure that Aidmin can’t negatively impact your database. I talk about that a little bit in the Security Overview (https://github.com/aidmin-io/docs/blob/main/security-overvie...).

I would love to know if Aidmin would be helpful at your workplace, and if not, why? Are there any features that are missing which would make it much more useful?

Thank you for checking out the project!
I agree. The article goes into detail about various brands' social media presences, and seems to take it as a given that they should all be doing more. But it doesn't make any assertions as to why they should, much less evidence to back it up.

So Budweiser is the only brand with an unfiltered Facebook wall... Great! What benefits has that brought them? If there aren't hard numbers, what's the perceived benefit from Budweiser's PR department?

How about comparing money spent on social media to money spent on traditional advertising?

So many questions, so few answers.

And yeah, I don't need or want Coca-Cola to be my friend, I just want a damn soda.
Do you mind sharing what your product is (if not the name or URL)? Have you tried making money with your product itself, directly or indirectly? I think if you don't try to be ramen profitable, you may never be.
IMHO the main reason Google will remain a force to be reckoned with is that they have 10000 driven and highly skilled individuals on board with the right experience. That trumps all arguments the article provides.
Am on mobile at the moment, but I wholly agree, and mentioned that in the guide I linked to next to the Five fingers site link. Good to emphasize though, and I will add that soon.
Sorry - have added disclosures about that. Though I thought it would be preferred over ads, would it not? It's funny how they are treated differently, as the same comment wouldn't be made about a page with some unobtrusive ads.
Even if price wasn't the main problem that prevented adoption, it's the problem with the easiest and most obvious solution: make it free. So it's a good thing they addressed it.
To be pedantic, when I picked my handle back in the /. days, I thought it meant "a bijective homomorphism." Or, less opaquely, an invertible structure-preserving map (in the context of abstract algebra).

When I read about "isomorphic JavaScript" as, essentially, views rendered with the same code on the client or server (and yet a separate API), I can't help but think "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

Perhaps "symmetric JavaScript" would be better? But then the API is still an asymmetry...
Users in general don't upgrade unless forced, because non-technical folks are conservative. All of Microsoft's competition have encouraged (free) updates in one way or another, with much less regard towards backwards compatibility. This also creates expectations for developers, assuming that a majority will upgrade in a timely manner, therefore users feel compelled to upgrade otherwise their favorite apps may stop being supported for their current OS.

Microsoft's biggest enemy is the old Microsoft that took years to update Windows XP and IExplorer 6. And then Vista happened, which brought no improvements, except a flawed and annoying security model, bloat and instability. And do I even need to rant on 8.0? So it's no wonder that users lost their appetite for updates.

However, I believe there is serious room for improvement in how we use our computers, especially our PCs. However that line on a single OS for all devices doesn't sound good to me, because there are fundamental differences between the devices in question and I hope that Microsoft will do more than marketing gimmicks and interfaces meant for tablets being shown on large screens that have keyboards.
> Or you could learn how to use a system that doesn't buy into the UNIX monoculture

My first computer was a ZX Spectrum. It didn't run UNIX.

> which has been a detriment to operating system research and development for the past couple of decades.

You're claiming that having access to free Operating Systems, with free tools and access to the source for them all has stifled OS research? That claim appears nonsensical on the face of it. Care to expand?
I had to restart my phone to see the whatsapp web menu option. I am on Android.
A lot of submissions have overlap with the politics of the moment, but that doesn't mean the discussion should cross straight into that. On the contrary, we should mostly resist doing so.

On HN, the idea is to focus on the diffs, not rush into the shallow hotness that makes all discussions the same.
Can someone explain why it would only be free for the first year? To spur adoption? It just seems like more trouble than it's worth to start charging people for it sometime in the future.
It's "augmented reality", so multiple people can walk around and see the display from all angles at the same time. So it's beyond stereoscopic, but it's not a traditional hologram. (It's much better than the Tupac "hologram" which was a single 2D image!)

Why shouldn't homophobia be brought into this?

There appears to be nothing to suggest the fact that this is two men has anything to do with the censorship. Therefore suggesting it does derails the issue in the first place and propagates the remaining discrimination problem.

There is no homophobia in this issue (at least based on the information currently available) so those bringing it in are doing so for their own purpose (and generally they are doing untold damage to their own cause EDIT: I should point out this is a cause close to my heart also).

And I really don't get what's with all this protecting of children...

Agreed entirely.
Hacked not abused. Nintendo abused the copyright system to lock out cartridges.
We still use http, ipv4...it seems clear to me that ETH and BTC aren't going anywhere this decade or next.
tl;dr

False positives: we hired a few folks who could prototype changes but struggled to ship them. This question wasn't solely to blame for it, but it wasn't enough of a signal on someone's ability to _thoroughly_ work within a large codebase.

False negatives: senior candidates who were very used to a particular programming environment (e.g. at Microsoft) and didn't have side projects that kept them up-to-speed with the basics of editing code on the command line over SSH. We did a lot of work over time to setup alternative environments for these candidates.
Through peering agreements, when one peer is handling a disproportionate amount of traffic, they already pay.
Most non local trade which expropriates profits is exchanging goods or fintech. Uber is providing a service which almost exclusively before this was a semi or wholly regulated utility function, largely operated by onshore companies and often driver collectives.

Philosophically I suspect we don't agree about tax, or utility functions or Uber. If you think it's a normal company I don't think you read the article. It's not.
@pkphilip InvenTree has an API that can be used to access all information, a python wrapper for that API and the option to create small python based plugins that are more tightly integrated (think custom endpoints, adding webpages, reacting on state changes like inventory changes). Please check the docs if you are interested in more infos: https://inventree.readthedocs.io/en/latest/extend/plugins/

Disclaimer: I am contributor of InvenTree and co-developed the plugin system.
>Shareholders care that they make their pennies of course. That seems to be (part of) the observation.

I don't get it. The point of a company is to make money for its shareholders. This has been the case forever now, and certainly isn't caused by "financialised logic". I'd be interested to hear what the "rules of traditional business" (which presumably says that the point of a company isn't to make money for its shareholders?) that OP talked about is.
I bought a Samsung Frame TV for my parents for a Christmas present. Dear lord what a mistake. So much software shit on that TV. After two hours of playing with it and Googling it, I still can't figure out how TO TURN IT OFF. WTF. Their customer support is worthless.

I would really think twice before I bought another Samsung consumer product.
That's a really great prescriptive presentation. But it's really hard to actually get people to hear about your product.

Adwords are expensive. Does anyone have any ideas to share on getting your URL out there?
In the case of Flattr? The latter would have been much more beneficial for them. I wanted to sign up to give them my money, to improve the value of their service (the value for content providers is the amount of users) and I had to "apply" and wait for it. Everything about that is wrong for Flattr.
This is what wowd (http://www.wowd.com/ [no longer relevant]) tried to do for realtime search before they had to pivot. Current browsers with ECMAScript as the only API are simply too insular, too limited and too slow for any useful distributed computing to ever be genuinely feasible.

It would be nice if the browser was a stronger vm specifically suited for executing untrusted objects, yet still with a more traditional os api, filesystem access, and real network interface. But the web still sucks for now.

This blog post is from nearly two years ago. Today's news (although related to the file editing functionality) is the fact that you can now fork and send a pull request of an edited file directly on GitHub: https://github.com/blog/844-forking-with-the-edit-button. This has already been posted in HN earlier today (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2486904)

It's already happening in the East Bay, and it's weird. A two-on-a-lot just went up on across the street from me, not 50 feet from where we had an 5-way shootout in broad daylight two years ago. I couldn't believe my eyes when they got snapped up for $750k a piece; I pay $500/month in rent. Just in the last week somebody started parking their new Porsche in front of my house, on a street where I still wouldn't feel comfortable leaving my old 1997 Civic overnight. Various brewpubs, taprooms, etc. have started opening up. This feels exactly like how people describe living in the Mission circa fifteen years ago.
$1300 per server per year sounds a bit expensive, at least when compared to Amazon ELB. What's the benefit?
