I really like the budgeting approach in YNAB, but the software could do with some more reporting capabilities, as well as being able to track investments and so on.

I've never found the 'perfect' piece of personal finance software that works for me. Some people say MS Money Sunset is the one true way but it sounds like a pain to get working on OSX.

Could never get on with the double entry approach in ledger or GNU cash, the workflow/approach just doesn't feel intuitive to me and I struggle with it.
It does, but emulated by default, you have to explicitly add ViewEncapsulation.NATIVE to your component decorator, or NONE if you wish/are forced to disable it.
`false` is not nil but `(let [x false] (or x 5))` evaluates to 5 ;)

> but friends in Brazil said the repercussions to their day-to-day life have been large.

Yes, they have. First, the fuel situation: trucks carrying fuel to gas stations were blocked by strikers, so they quickly ran out of fuel. Buses need diesel fuel to run, so people can't get to work. Cars also need fuel (gasoline or ethanol) to run, so even people who have cars can't get to work. Those with gas-powered cars (mostly taxis) could still get fuel (it goes to the gas station through pipes), but even these need a small amount of gasoline to start the motor.

Then, the food situation: almost all the fresh food is gone from the markets, and what little there is got really expensive (like 4 or 5 times more expensive). Longer-lived but basic food (like rice and beans) flew from the shelves, since people still have memories from the hyperinflation days last century. Huge amounts of food had to be thrown away in the farms.

Hospitals had to cancel all non-emergency surgery, since stocks are running really low. Industries have stopped, since they can't get their inputs or don't have space to store their outputs. There was a risk of water rationing in some places, since stocks of water treatment chemicals ran low.

We're lucky that our country's power supply is mostly hydro, and most of the thermal generators either get their fuel through pipes, or had enough fuel stored locally. Only a few distant cities (probably without interconnection to the national system) lost power.

Things are getting better. Many of the blockades have now been cleared, and fuel trucks escorted by the police or the army are getting fuel to essential services and to the gas stations. Hopefully trucks will soon be able to get food from the farms to the markets.
If the OOBGC pauses are anywhere near predictable, then maybe even a super stupid simple solution would work: just have the load balancer assume that backend is busy a fixed amount of time after each request. Even if you massively underestimate the busy time, it shouldn't hurt the latencies. Overestimating on the other hand leads to under-utilization, so it would make sense to set the busy time value to some small percentile of observed oobgc times.
You should try.

That's pretty much Ava DuVernay's argument on her documentary "The 13th": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V66F3WU2CKk
When you're planning to replace a profession with technology, it's a winning strategy to start spreading long-term career doom over the profession a few years ahead of when you're ready to launch, so that there'll be a labor shortage and higher wages when you're ready to enter the market.

(Not dealing with ethics here, just strategy for winning.)

We've had a few years now of news stories about how truck drivers will all be replaced with self-driving. I'd wondered about whether that was good strategy on the part of companies working on self-driving, because it might cause truck drivers to organize and lobby for regulation to keep it out. But it seems to be working for them.
I like your take, and Haskell is an apt comparison in this sense.

Another sense in which i think APL is... un-competitive is that its strengths (terse, mathematical, matrix-centered) are the easy parts of programming, i.e. the parts that are the most objectively quantifiable and verifiable (you just use math).

Accounting for numbers is trivial, accounting for human factors is a proverb.

Could it be worse than the bloated javascript ad-ridden social media hellscape we have today? All Microsoft "did" to the internet was abandon development on their dominant browser as a way to keep developers on the Windows platform. And lo-and-behold, _market forces_ foiled their plans on that one, not the government.

If anything did the internet in, it was the iPhone and the mass adoption of smartphones afterwards, which brought in untold numbers of tech-illiterate consumers to be easily exploited by our current crop of Evil Tech Companies.

Ask HN: How has working remotely for long periods affected your social skills?
This question is mainly directed at people who work all their hours remotely and have no hours working in person at an office. Especially if you've worked this way for several months or years, how has it affected the way you interact with people? Has it made some things more difficult to you? In particular if you are living single, and aren't living with anyone to take care of (no SO, or no children or other family).
We Mexicans like to brag about how creative and artful is the Mexican albur, but when really examined it is extremely juvenile and dumb. And most of the time it all comes to tricking another man into accepting a submissive role in homosexual intercourse.

Tide – TypeScript Interactive Development Environment for Emacs
Are there any deduplicating filesystems for Linux similar to the (very basic) NTFS deduplication in Windows? I’ve fiddled with quite a few Linux dedup solutions over the years but nothing seems to be production ready. Even ZFS isn’t that useful as it only chunks on multiples of the block size.

The basic feature set for deduplication in my book is non-block-aligned chunking with compression. NTFS has had transparent post-process dedup since 2012 and is pretty much ideal for file, VM, and backup servers. It just works in the background with little performance impact but huge space savings.

It feels dirty using Windows servers as NAS for our Linux machines, but that’s what we’re doing today.
Council (assembling the member state governments) is opaque, but the directly elected European Parliament is quite transparent – more so than most national ones. Both have to agree to any Commission proposal, so theoretically being able to follow and influence one gives us, the public, veto power no matter the failings of the other.

You're absolutely right about the media.
The go programming language book. Not focused on web development whatever that means particularly but introduces a lot and some advanced concepts and constructs of the language that are very useful/fundamental in server programming. I think GOPL is the only book you need to read about golang. I did not read other related books though so take that last statement with a pinch of salt.
Bill Gates Oct 2014: "Bitcoin is better than currency in that you don’t have to be physically in the same place and, of course, for large transactions, currency can get pretty inconvenient."

Is there a known probability curve?

With so many actors it could be very steep. Like 51% capacity has 99% chance of success and 49% has 1% of success and 40% has practically zero chance (these are made up numbers).

It could also be quite shallow as in 1% capacity gives you 1% of success... that would actually be quite bad and invite malicious actors to test the system with regular attacks.
If anyone else is confused, "sth" is an abbreviation for "something" that was popularised in some countries by dictionaries for non-native English speakers. It's common in continental Europe and the Middle East but obscure in English-speaking countries; "smth", and "sthg" are other common abbreviations that also came from bilingual dictionaries.

As a Frenchman, I've got to say I'm very bitter at this story. The guy sure deserves citizenship and deserves to be praised for what he did. The problem is how, every time some refugee/migrant/whatever you call them does something great, there's a huge media coverage about how the guy is cool and deserves citizenship, and our governments are kind of praised for doing so. Yet, in the mean time, the same government has ordered to cut refugee tents in order to prevent them from sleeping in some places, among other not-so-cool actions towards refugees. There's also a lot of coverage when one migrant or refugee does something bad (obviously).

What I fear is that it tends to reinforce the idea that to deserve citizenship, one needs to do heroic stuff, or at least something flashy, for starters. Secondly, that when one refugee does something heroic, HE has to be given some consideration, but when one refugee does something bad, the image of refugees as a whole does suffer.
Why not to use detected bots for automatic false-news alerter, like ad-block or spam filter, but for false news?

It seems the same response has come up a few times here. Everyone starts out at a relatively low level, rises to a max and then decline as they age. Some people reach such a high level that even in decline they are still very productive. I like to think I am one of these people ;)

Just because something is hard to measure with certainty does not mean that it can't be measured. While your boss might not be able to precisely measure your productivity they will likely have a pretty good idea.

That's a very good point.

The fuzzy reasoning above was my original way of having it make sense in my head but I've since internalized the logic of how it really works.

People are wired to think of a wealth as a zero sum game. If tomorrow everybody's income will increase by 10%, people will pay much less attention at their income getting bigger, but the fact that this increase is smaller in absolute value that someone's else.

It is not a competition to see who can suffer worst and longest, and all those who cannot win should be happy with their lot.

Generally, it's a good idea to aim for improving quality of life for everyone, overall, not reducing things such that everyone is merely slightly less miserable than the worst possible misery.

Completely agree. Reporting in YNAB is a weakness, and investment tracking is downright silly.

I have to manually go in and update my balance for investments once/month or so. They're set up to "track", but functionally do not.

exactly - if they truly have a trucking shortage, the prices of all the intermediaries will have to rise, including the end shelf-price.

On what basis do you assume they are non-swimmers? The video doesn't show them swimming - well sure they were in a tube of course it doesn't show them swimming. Just because you can swim fine doesn't mean you will do so when you flip unexpectedly out of a tube when the panic response takes over.

Because those countries have not announced to the world that will sue you in court if one of their citizens reads your jokes. The GDPR has done this.

I "believe" this law was intended to be a big hammer on the data brokers of the world, but the little fish often get the focus after the big fish are all caught. Even if they aren't the original target.

If you haven't looked up the law, you should do so. It states emphatically and clearly, you having a business presence in the EU is irrelevant to this law.

Because it’s the least one should do regarding privacy. When not mandated by law, doesn’t mean you don’t have to do the right thing.

Many companies that sell your data are complaining at the moment because they have to come clean about their malpractice. Don’t let them distract you from the compnies that always did the right thing and were gdpr complient before the laws were written.
If you're running Kubernetes, you probably have multiple services running (or it's not really worth the complexity). Then whatever slack you have in the cluster can be amortized over all your services, if they all share the same resources (quota). It's also a good idea not to update too many deployments all at the same time.

Even then, deployment updates don't necessarily need to surge above their replica count. You can also configure them to terminate X replicas at a time before bringing up new ones. At Google, all teams have Borg quotas, so it's not unusual to max those up by running as many replicas as possible. During updates, Borg does not allow an user to temporarily oversubscribe their quota (unless you're changing replica count and replica footprint at the same time, but that's another fun story), so it will always take down Y tasks first.
