While fountain pens are nicer to write with, they are also more demanding than ballpoints (humidity, temperature, paper quality, writing surface, blotting etc.). Hence, for reliably being able to take notes it might be a better idea to carry a space pen (pressurized ball point) instead of a fountain pen.

However, if you can control conditions and for example write comfortably at your desk, a nice fountain pen is preferable.
I'll tell you what I did: I always told them not to go into programming. Now two out of three have a skyrocketing career in startups, and the third is a math teacher who can build websites but doesn't...
I thought UTC the same, doesn't that mean that GMT+0 is essentially wrong? I thought GMT was essentially UTC+0, and all other time zones (ignoring DST) are defined as offsets to UTC, not GMT.
Active MITM remains able to sniff certificates, because the certificate is exchanged (indeed, must be exchanged) before you can authenticate the key exchange and thus lock out AMITM attackers.
Do you really believe that money is speech?
Poor guy. He's only just started his long journey into a postmodern nihilist breakdown.

Once you realize that every core belief you once held was manufactured by a corporation/religion/government in an effort to empower that agency, then life really begins.
Because in the same way we're primed to understand certain shape patterns as faces, we're primed to parse our world as a story.

A lot of "reason" is really just narrative logic. It's much more weakly predictive and less rational than scientific logic, but it's far more persuasive.
Machine learning models keep getting spoofed by adversarial attacks
I'm one that thinks that a future dark age is coming. If we look at Purto Rico we can see how fast the human infrastructures can fail and how long it takes for them to come back online. If it wasn't for the aid that the mainland US has available, it's possible to say that it would be decades before they can recover.

We are becoming less able to understand how our systems work and without that knowledge, it's extremely hard to the get systems back on.

Given the possibility of our systems failing in mass and our need to encrypt all our knowledge the possibility of a dark age is very possible.

But why a Mars Colony, I think preparation for a dark age here on Earth and a moon colony would be a better option.
Being a better husband and father are things I strive to do better at. I'd classify this as an issue of "productivity", (ie, getting things done that benefit them) even if it's something like giving a compliment or being patient.
Businesses Need Artificial “Specialist” Intelligence
So "I have no idea" wasn't quite accurate - you did have an idea. Your analysis showed the spike was panic buyers, and there was no indication of a reason for the spike.
Gradient Descent in a Nutshell
As another commenter mentioned - when writing something meaningful, doing it with a fountain pen adds an air of magic about it. I've just returned from a 'bucket list' overseas trip, and every day, I wrote in a journal about my experiences. Somehow, doing it with a cheap ballpoint doesn't seem as special as sitting down and getting my deepest emotions and thoughts down on paper with a nice fountain pen.

To re-frame your analogy to suit a more HN centric view: Why would most developers bother with the hassle and maintenance of Linux when they could just slap Windows 10 on a PC and code away in an IDE easily?
Drone Swarms Are Going to Be Terrifying and Hard to Stop
This is an interesting idea. (Office Space interview with the "Bobs" comes to mind) Would you say that your experience fits with the idea that many people are more productive because of recognition from their manager/boss is more valuable than money? (within reasonable parameters)
Had anyone here tried to live life with their iPhone on UTC?
Some people like the process and the gear. Same as with vinyl vs digital music.

I find that these things _can_ go hand in hand. Being physically healthy won't make you nicer, but if you are healthy, it's easier to have more patience (as one example of a complimentary benefit).

I am nicer and more forgiving when I don't have a sore throat or a migraine. And when I have more energy, I can play with kids instead of taking a nap.

The Blockchain Opportunity in New Zealand
I don't know about SpaceX (since they're private), but anyone who can read a quarterly report knows that TSLA is one downturn away from becoming insolvent. Their last bond issuance was well into junk territory, and the cash burn means they'll be forced to raise more money sometime this year. If cash becomes harder to come by they're in real trouble.

It doesn't help that they seem incapable of ramping up Model 3 production.
Headline and article itself are a bit misleading. When he said “alive by the skin of their teeth” he was referencing the past, not current situation
For me "learning math" is a language translation process. The math text uses terms and symbols that are hard to remember.

I just rewrite the math text to get it into a form I can read without stopping to figure out an unfamiliar term or symbol.
Honestly, if you could make $10M as a mid-level distributor, squirrel most of it away tax-free, with the downside risk being only four years in the pen, that would be a massive rational win for most people.

Of course, the only reason you can make millions of dollars illegally at this racket is because it's illegal in the first place, so never mind. Drug laws cause far more harm to society than the drugs themselves ever could. Any argument to the contrary can trivially be resolved to a special-pleading fallacy.
Just to clarify (I am dense) this is a sarcastic post, right? (please forgive my stupidity if you are being serious, and if not, for wrecking your joke)

At least one rabbi ruled that taking an elevator _down_ is operating a machine (since your body mass is contributing to the downward motion), and hence forbidden on the Sabbath.
There isn't a lot of substance in the article to back up the clickbait title. A lot of the concern about Tesla and Space X were from quotes referencing the state of the companies almost 10 years ago.
I was involved in multiple attempts at "net-boot linux and let the local user be root", what works best is exactly what is mentioned in the article: just wipe the thing each time.

But there are different approaches to this: on one extreme you can boot minimalistic linux from PXE which does moral equivalent of "curl ... >/dev/sda" on the other end you can run from ramdisk. The ramdisk approach works very well, but is neccesarily limited by size of RAM.

For our anime conventions we have our own "linux distro", that consists of debian unstable with quite involved rewritten initramfs which obtains the root image from somewhere (file on USB storage, which can be optionally mounted directly, or downloads the image using HTTP) and pivot_root's into that. Being able to boot Linux on ThinkPad without any persistent storage to speak of and being able to use it completely offline (the whole infrastructure for this to happen is only on our internal LAN, not on any kind of WLAN) is somewhat magical.
What did you try? There's been a lot of work done on what does and doesn't make people sick and most games or experiences aimed at the non-hardcore are pretty forgiving.

(of course a badly set up machine can cause problems. If the frame rate tanks or the tracking is messed up then all bets are off)

So how's the Blackphone doing lately? It looks like they don't want to sell to the general public now.
That's interesting, got a source? Also though I wouldn't wish regret on anyone, probably helpful to aspiring artists to know that everyone makes mistakes.

I found your post interesting. What you describe looks like something I might want to use or at least experiment with. That was the reason I requested information on the software you were using. I don't know 'tptacek' or how he is involved in this.
Mononoke – A Mercurial source control server designed to support large monorepos

People suffer from relative poverty, so that would be pretty bad.
Under TLS 1.3 the Server Name Indication extension becomes mandatory, so your client will automatically, in plain text, transmit the full DNS name of whatever server it wants to talk to

[SNI is there to make "virtual hosting" possible for HTTPS, which is why you can get working SSL on a cheap bulk host without paying them extra for a dedicated IP address]

So, a middlebox might choose to drop connections based on the name your client sends (and of course it could also choose to drop them based on the destination IP address, the amount of traffic you've sent recently, or the phase of the moon). But the certificate itself is now always encrypted, so the middlebox can't snoop that without acting as a proxy.

It sounds as though you've (perhaps against your will) accepted the proxy, so in that case all bets are off anyway, a proxy can do whatever it likes, if you don't want that don't trust proxies.
> Keep in mind that a dictionary isn't a manual on what does and does not constite valid English but a reference for how words are used by English speakers and writers.

A funny thought: dictionaries are to words as the Unicode standard is to characters.
Theater (stage management, sound mixing, lighting, etc) had a similar quality for me. There's something a lot more satisfying about live work, especially when the whole rest of your life is project-based.
Why is that? I'm a righty, but I write in Hebrew (Right to Left) so I assume that I would have similar issues to what you face. However I have no problem writing with my fountain pens.

I'm genuinely curious why many lefties have trouble with fountain pens, not trolling.
NPM used to have its own search, then one day in late 2016 decided to outsource it to https://npms.io/ . That may be directly related to the issue at hand
Couldn’t the same be said of, “Four years is plenty.”?

The good thing about noodlers is that they carry a waterproof range. I think they are called "bulletproof".

They do repair and custom work too.
Maybe when I said "That's what makes me optimistic about it as a medium." I should have said "That's one of the factors..." My brevity undermined my point which I regret.

I do however find comparisons to 3D TV/movies glib and unenlightening.
It's kind of weird. Their bond rating is pretty bad, but yet their stock market cap seems super high - 5x last years revenue (with profits of -2B). Of course, if there is risk to the bonds, that means the equity is even riskier.

Are many sophisticated investors buying the stock or is it mainly retail investors who love the brand+man?
find a problem without an answer(o) and try to answer it

research as much as you can about the problem until you understand it well enough to explain it to someone else

when you come across new concepts, research them.. recurse ;p

if you like to program then try to write your own implementations of concepts as you learn them

if you are unfamiliar with programming i would recommend trying it, you get to build this math you are learning and when complete you can develop intuitions by manipulating: constants, methods, models,..; as well as being a great learning aide.. debuggers as standins for instructors

read original works: books,papers,..; where ideas are branched from

the engineered complexity of the state of the art can obfuscate underlying concepts, and seeing how they were first formed can illuminate their present state

these initial works can be very approachable because they often contain new concepts that need to be defined within them, whereas a paper referencing that initial work will often consider the concepts well known to anyone intending to read them and omit comprehensive description

i think what is most important is that you research whatever is interesting to you

We spent a lot of time at Yeshiva discussing when a Jew in space, or on Mars, or on a planet orbiting Alpha Centauri (for example) would have to light Shabbos candles or celebrate Yom Kippur.

This issue has already come up with Jewish astronauts on the Space Station.
I'm sympathetic to the point being made, but I think the target (i.e., root cause) is wrong.

People trying to improve their lives is not a bad thing, whether that is getting more exercise or trying to be more mindful. That's not actually the problem. On the whole, a given person would live better if they could magically add exercising 3 times a week to their life. The problem is, really, lack of empathy. The problem is that we blame the person for not doing so, instead of their situation. We blanket request that this person achieves this, but not for their benefit, but for ours...

People in the world are actually in very different phases of life, and some phases are simply worse than others. People don't all start out at the same exact point so that it takes them all the same amount of resources to reach exercising 3 days a week, for example. People have very different backgrounds. This is often ignored, so the whole idea of self-improvement tends to just not take into account the general ugliness and messiness of the world. Then, people brought up in such a world, comparing themselves to expectations born out of refusing to see the ugly world, will of course feel inadequate. And what this tends to do is squeeze out the people who don't feel welcome and generating an elite of sorts. "Live fitter, happier, more productive" does not have a very diverse audience...

Another problem is that modern living simply has more information and tasks to keep track of. The pure amount, after a while, takes a toll that's very hard to directly calculate. But there's a very big difference between stress of having to do 2-3 things, but having little control over other long term things, vs having (theoretical) control of most facets of your life but that resulting in 20-30 things to keep track of. Having so much control creates this impression that everything is your fault, resulting in nearly an endless source of guilt if you don't nip it in the bud.

Of course people turn to productivity apps and hacks - they have more to manage and are overloaded! Many people end up unable to manage the process automatically so they, understandably, use various tools to help.
AWS has a lot of resources that are not per region.

The GDPR line is about improving our least privilege access story. There's a lot more to GDPR than that, though
> Any other interpretation of the debate would be paradox, because, a descriptivist would have to describe it as prescriptive if many users think it's prescriptive.

Why is this a paradox? Why is prescriptivity a result of the actions of "many users"?
I don’t even like baseball but that was an excellent article.
Our modern litigious society isn't big on letting teenagers use power tools or walk around construction sites without parental supervision (if at all). There are things high school community service groups can do, but housebuilding and infrastructure maintenance aren't among them.
>Why a vote in Kansas needs to be tallied differently from a vote in New York in the 2020 elections is beyond me.

population of Kansas (state): 2.9 million
population of New York (city): 8.5 million

Without some sort of balancing mechanism, you wind up with a single populous city's votes mattering more than the votes from every city in a less populous state.
I’ve had a lot of difficulty dealing with NPM as a customer. Changing a billing date is not possible, and you cannot get annual plans that are reasonably priced. As it is, I expense $14 a month in NPM expenses every month with no ability to switch to an annual billing.

The request to change a billing date was met with a hilarious response. Pause using the paid plan until you get to the day where you want billing to start, then unpause. In the interim, access to the paid features would be gone. Thanks, but no!

GitHub, by way of comparison, was a dream. Change the billing date to the first? Done and done.
Old can be good, and unmaintained isn't always fatal, but many npm packages are network-facing, where security vulnerabilities need to be addressed.
This needs to be highlighted more often. TLS interception can be a very effective tool to expose insecure APIs and blatant privacy violations. It's ultimately a tradeoff between security (no bad interception) and privacy (no idea what my device is sending).
If you are going to design something using a time code the most obvious solution is probably to choose your own zone.
When you realize that doesn't apply to anyone else, UTC is the next option. Especially because it means you don't need to deal with user configuration.

As for ISO8601, that probably results from people looking for some standard to help with compatibility.
If you just mean YYYY-DD-MM HH:MM that is just nicely ordered. Actual ISO8601 would yield something like: 2018-03-11T22:53:40+00:00
I personally really hate that T in ISO8601, but it is actually a standard aimed at being both human and machine readable.

All that aside, I think we can all agree that MM-DD-YYYY is just incongruous and stupid.
Thank you for the rec on Stripe. I know the 3% fee is crazy and I havent taken the time to look for another solution.

My goal is to get mostly wire transfers. But I think you are right about the inevitability of getting something cheaper.

Could someone change this to http://richardspens.com/ref/care/inks.htm? The current link (http://richardspens.com/index_m.html?page=ref/care/inks.htm) is a "please allow us to run arbitrary malicious code on your computer" nag page.
Hey. I'll make sure to update the blog to include a shout-out to aws-vault! We were heavy users for the last few years.

We are sometimes wary about contributing stuff like this upstream because it's not always accepted, and then we are in a weird spot maintaining a fork (it happened with the bitly oauth proxy when we added okta support). I'll see what type of work it would take to make it fit in to aws-vault nicely!
Nice keyboard layout. I didn't start using vim until around 2005 or 2006.

My computer use is so dependent on muscle memory that I can't comfortably use anyone else's computer, even without the moved keys. Every time I get a new computer, there is a long adjustment period too. I find the trade-off worthwhile though, since I'm rarely far from my laptop and rarely type more than a few sentences on other computers.
I also noticed the search is pretty awful. I published a library that was impossible to find (even if written in full) because hitting 'enter' after a search just went to a more popular library that must have a closely matching term somewhere in their keywords or description.

So my only option for making the library findable at all, was to use a word that was unlikely to appear in any other fields of other packages. I settled on a dutch translation of one of the concepts used in the package, that would still have a predictable spelling if an English speaker heard it.

It's unfortunate, because the implication is that if you want your package to be found at all (assuming you already know the full name of the package, not even talking about discoverability), you need to pick a name that's unlikely to have any bearing on the function of the package.
TSLA has a ton of retail investors, which definitely helps prop up the price, but there are definitely institutional investors as well. Everything is expensive these days, so one of the few ways to generate alpha is to buy the right 'priced to perfection' companies, and for some reason (that I personally can't comprehend) TSLA has a lot of savvy investors going long.

That being said, the short interest on this stock is incredibly high, making it very pricy to bet against the company.
I am a dev who uses Node.js a lot and published quite a few packages; the state of npm is very, very sad. It has evolved from being one of the great things on Node.js to something you have to fight constantly with counterintuitive defaults everywhere. Not that it used to be much better, but these issues were only acceptable when the ecosystem was smaller.
Why intercept certificate if you can block IP?
yes. it makes reading logs easier.
Fountain pens are one of those things that probably would have died out if not for the internet, especially on the cheaper end of the market. There are today more pens and inks to choose from than at any time in history, even times when fountain pens were widely used.
There was a geekhack post on this sort of general idea, but it hasn't seen activity for a while now: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=84985.0

Looks stunning to me. The rather underrated Cherry ML switches strike the balance of low travel and good feel for me. Maybe one day someone will get sufficiently inspired to make such a thing.
If Okta is down our infrastructure should continue to function and scale up and down as needed.

If there was an emergency we have our root accounts to recover access, but it's a good point that we should probably have a second IDP as a backup.
Is it possible to launch active MITM attack and then establish connection like it wasn't there? The point of sniffing certificate is to block access for some websites and allow for others, located on the same IP address. Otherwise you could just block IP.
I can recommend Jóhann Jóhannsson's Fordlandia [1] (also responsible for the soundtrack to Arrival, and sadly recently deceased) as worth a listen, inspired by the Fordlândia experiment.

The deterrent and long term way to keep patients safe is not just the 4 years in prison, it is losing his medical license in perpetuity throughout the USA. Not sure if his sentence includes this but it should be in public records. My PCP in MA was busted for a different charge and lost his ability to practice medicine FOREVER throughout the USA. Way to throw all those years of med school in the dustbin!

Both the SIM and the phone's serial number are available to the network. An analyst looking to correlate your activities can do so trivially. In fact, this is how Italian investigators were able to prove the link between a CIA cell and the American embassy. No one used the same SIM to talk to both groups, but they did use the same phone.

I'd bet that many rich people would rather spend 4 years in prison than lose all of their assets, especially if the prison is one of those minimum-security summer camps the white collar criminals normally end up in.
