> Of course that means that you dont get so many fancy rewards benefits, but thats kinda silly anyway (getting ~1% back in rewards in exchange for a ~3% tax on everything)

It's definitely kind of silly and it's definitely regressive, but your numbers are off. In reality, I get ~2% back in rewards in exchange for a ~0.25% tax on everything. The math for this works out because most transactions aren't made with credit cards. https://www.bostonfed.org/publications/public-policy-discuss...

I'd still support regulation that addresses this - either by directly capping interchange fees or using a different approach - but I personally won't be better off because of it.
A carbon tax will disproportionately hurt people who did not cause this problem. We should be nationalizing our energy industries.
Interestingly COI is based on deta.chat, as per this comment in this thread. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19216346
Disagree hard on Go vs Python. Python is my day job, but documentation is rough. You're likely not going to get documentation for all the types, and if you do it's usually in one giant page and you can't tell which class's `__str__()` docstring you're looking at. Often you'll have a method with some terse description for parameters that don't completely describe the types accepted for a parameter. Most of this stuff comes for free with godoc even if you don't take the time to add a comment, and most libraries add at least some minimal comment (the linter complains if you don't). Godoc also has really nice support for executable examples, and examples run as part of the test suite so you know they're up to date.

EDIT: Racket shares many of the same problems as Python. Dynamic languages need more documentation than static languages, yet they (or rather, their users) often fail to deliver.
Not all parents know how to solder.
Agreed. And I imagine that if Spotify succeeds, then Apple might eventually follow suit and start picking up exclusives. At that point, there's no going back.
Who's to say that if the general public were presented with two free (to the user) social networks, one that targets ads and one that doesn't, that people would opt to use the targeted one over the non-targeted one?
Working nights is massively counterproductive, and will make you less effective: http://www.igda.org/?page=crunchsixlessons

As others said:

- Learn to say "no" to people. You listen, make sure they're heard, and then you drop whichever task is least important. https://codewithoutrules.com/2018/08/16/how-to-say-no/

- To meet deadlines... again, drop the less important work. https://codewithoutrules.com/2018/10/24/deadlines/

- Choose what is more or less important based on team goals, project goals, and your goals. Those last, you goals, are the most important ones.

If that won't work at your job, time to find another job.
> In particular, I find independent podcasts like Sam Harris or Dan Carlin to be FANTASTIC, and that content is free for all to download in multiple ways. So, I'm not worried in the slightest.

This. Dan Carlin is fantastic and I enjoy supporting him because of the quality. No Agenda and Congressional Dish are two more listener supported/value-for-value podcasts which do an outstanding job. No Agenda, in particular, raised the bar extremely high for production value, and they do it all live to tape! No back office. Little-to-no post production. Those guys are proof you don’t need a studio, enployees, or advertisers to make a living out of podcasting.
After seeing these comments, I think we have it all completely wrong (that is, the mental model of those of us who wish FB stopped existing). Don't ask people to stop using Facebook. Encourage them to use it more.

We should instead call out the people who fund Facebook as sponsoring child abuse. [1]

And those who work at Facebook as inciting pogroms. [2]

And finally, those who defend Facebook as "dumb fucks" because, well, that's what they are anyway according to Mark Z.

At the same time, don't ask anyone to stop using Facebook. In fact, they should use Facebook so much that they bring down Facebook's servers. [3] Encourage the low ARPU "deadbeats" to keep using Facebook and its network as much as possible.

Just call out everyone who is giving them money [4].

Lets see how long FB operates after that.

Sure. On the other hand, I run a blog with a simple to answer question for multiple years now and I didn’t receive a single Spam comment that wasn’t of obvious human origin.

Once that stops to work I can bump it up a notch.
I'm really pleased with the Dell XPS line - and in term of OS I would recommend Fedora or Debian.
The main con is it's at a very early stage.

It supports only traditional threads right now (but with automatic locking).

Networking is supported. It uses curl/windows api.

Cross compiling will be top notch, just like with Go.

> Musically, it's almost entirely straight-up bad (when Varg Vikernes is the best a movement has to offer, you know there's a quality problem)

That's a very precarious judgement call, unless you mean the severely limited production value, which has become a hallmark of black metal by itself.
You forgot the last step. Once you finally collapse, sell all source code and licenses to use the software to the last remaining customers.
I didn’t know that. You’re right; I made an assumption without researching the band or the genre.
> We should strive for a society where we do not have to work ourselves out to pay off the loan

When we have such a society we can reevaluate. But right now we don't, and in the current environment creating more ways for inequality moves us away from such society.
Breadboards hide the connections and require a significant amount of thinking in transforming to and from a circuit diagram. This isn't hard once you've mastered it, but I can understand wanting to ease K-12 classrooms into it.
Teenagers mostly don't have long commutes, which is where a lot of podcast listening seems to happen.
I feel like Steam will try a push with SteamOS once game support is good enough to get a lot of popular titles working through SteamPlay. Number of titles is the primary reason IMO that it hasn't caught on, and once that's fixed, I think plenty of people will replace their janky TV setups with it. A lot of people like the simplicity of a console, and that's one area where Steam is weak.

Once SteamOS gets traction, I can see a lot of vendors choosing to support, which will significantly help the situation on Linux.

Also, I've been gaming exclusively on Linux for a year or so, and it's pretty reasonable. I can't play every game I want, but there are a lot of titles to choose from with either native Linux support or good support with SteamPlay/wine.

> Spotify grew into the second largest platform bringing in a lot of fresh air and slowly but steadily eating into and breaking up Apple's monopoly.

Apple's "monopoly" isn't much of a monopoly at all, though. Apple has been a good citizen of the podcast world, because it's purely a directory that points to normal RSS files. Apple has made no move to provide user-specific analytics or walled-in podcasts. Spotify likely has very different motives.
If you really want to learn digital electronics you should learn how to design a very simple CPU from scratch. If you can do that then you can build virtually any digital circuit you can think of. And it is not that hard (although it will take some dedication, months of reading and experimenting) Plenty of resources out there that teach you how to do it from scratch.

When I was a kid I tried to learn electronics by buying these types of kits. They were totally useless, complete waste of money and they only accomplished in making me feel that electronics was way too hard for me. All I could do was assemble the circuits in the diagrams but there was no understanding involved.

The worst part was that they all used some computers chips, like the 555 timer, to do some special effects, etc. When you are starting out any chip is kind of useless in your goal to understanding digital electronics.
And you've described why I use DuckDuckGo when I want to learn about something like that. I have no idea how Google is interpreting my intent, if it is at all, and how it might come back to bite me in the future.
I wonder if tikz/LaTeX is the best output format for this. When I'm making figures it has been fastest for me to have code that generates 90% the right thing, then tweak as necessary in Illustrator/Inkscape to get different parts to line up, combine subfigures, etc.

If I did anything with neural nets, I might take the time to bolt on an option for output to SVG. EPS or some other vector format would be great as well, but I am not that much of a wizard.

For more discussion on reproducibility and hardcoding figures, see for example: http://rajlaboratory.blogspot.com/2016/02/from-reproducibili...
Apple cannot get computers right anymore, they're clever to try to diversify.

If they can create a credit card that steals 30% of the revenue from the company that actually created the product like they do with their App Store, they're set.
This is so fortuitous as I started writing my first real Golang service and as a python dev I have no idea what I am doing.

But one refreshing thing is how opinionated the language and the frameworks are refreshing as there’s only one acceptable way to do many things.
When Stack Overflow (SO) was new I did a lot of Java work and I quickly noticed that the best answers were from on particular guy and I remembered his name - Jon Skeet. For some time I thought he was a Java expert and only later learned that he is the author of "C# in Depth" and his specialty is really C#. It still amuses me today that even as a C# expert he probably knows more about the intricacies of Java than many Java experts.

That being said I think that Jon's exceptionally high SO reputation is not only because he is really good but also because he has earned a lot of it very fast and very early on. Unlike other platforms (HN for example) your reputation on SO still increases over time if you stop engaging or only engage lightly with the community. Given the rules stay the same as they are today I don't think it is possible for any new user to ever surpass any of the high rep early SO users like Jon, VonC, Hans Passant or Marc Gravell. I don't think the same is true for HN but I'm not entirely sure.
Again, I absolutely don't disagree with you. I'm just putting on my project management hat and saying "We've got two problems, one is hard and will fix everything, the other is easy and will fix 95% of the stuff, let's do the easy one first" I'm all for GDPR like protections (but ideally a bit better thought out) in the US, but given the entrenchment of these social media networks I think it'd be hard to pull off politically.

Zuckerberg has yet to try and mobilize facebook for a political end, when he tries it I hope it backfires and he ends up shooting himself in the foot, but it may work. Attempting to make data mining and resale may unleash a torrent of angry voters that rally against anyone associated with pushing it forward and get them voted out of office - or cowe them into submission. Either way I think the best first step is to force the platform open and deride the network effect that facebook currently controls, then let them lose power and enact stricter privacy laws when the public is ready for them.

If I were King of America though, I'd totally just go your route.
I'm not sure if I can do anything about this. Any suggestions?
Of course -- representation theory guarantees this. It's just that matrices obfuscate the underlying algebra.
I know this is true because I once worked at a contractor for a really boring (and highly regulated) gambling/lottery corporation earning twice as much as I do now and I was almost twice as happy as I am now (all else being roughly the same). The feeling of security that you get from even that kind of money is amazing so 6 times that amount must be euphoric.

I have never looked at the term that way, but what you say is completely fair.

I seem to recall a time when a lot of that scene rejected the label and tried to claim it was "just black metal", but now that I think about it, I suspect they've collectively owned it these days.

I don't know what else to call it that doesn't either minimise it or need a dozen paragraphs' worth of explanation, though...
That is very vague / strange tips you give out.

The response header shows, that nginx is used already.

There is no need to put static assets to some cheap vps if you have already a server. Depending on the bootleneck, it might be much better to upgrade ram or optimise the code or finetune some database cache or whatever happens at the BE.

But without knowing details, it doesn't make much sense to move assets or use memcache. Often enough, people do shitty sqls or are not even aware that there is something like a query cache (which you can also use lightweight without adding memcache to your stack).

When you look at there about page and also make a lookup on there ip, you will see that it is hosted by them from there own network https://www.inria.fr/. So this project was probably build by some researchers, which some agenda on how well that service should actually run and a budget. They probably got a VM from there IT Department (or are part of it) and are in theory capable of fixing there issues but the working student is on a new project and no one really cares about it (the domain was registered 2014).
I'm mostly comparing this:

If the source weren't hyperlinked, I'd be lost on the latter.

edit: I love Racket's documentation. I've been using it for so many in-house things because I can just read what the function does in English--instead of having to run experiments or dig through someone else's code.
I don't have any internal data, but I expect that the percentage of Sonos users that play music from a local source is in the single-digit percentage now. The product they sell is focused on supporting streaming audio and voice control, all of which involved 100% monitoring of what you play and ask for. You're just not their customer anymore.

You can find old used squeezeboxes on Ebay, and their server software is just a big perl script. That might meet your needs.
Agreed. Also I like that it's so quick (at least for a regular EXPLAIN) - I would very often hit F7 to see the query plan visualization, even for just a split second, before pressing F5 to run the query. If I see the table-scan icon appear somewhere when I'm not expecting it to, it's a big hint I've done something dumb.
I just brought the seller to the DMV with me and signed at the counter. It was a little easier for me because the person at the counter could confirm that the title transfer worked properly. However, some sellers don't want to spend a half hour waiting, so having both parties sign is usually just as good (provided you can spot a fake title).

A "dark pool", despite an ominous-sounding name, is just a type of exchange which does not display order prices and sizes. It is something in between of a regular exchange and an auction, better suited for posting and executing large orders. There is nothing shady in it; it helps larger players (like retirement / index funds) to obtain better prices for their large orders.

I prefer nonfiction audiobooks to podcasts. Good books have years of effort put into them to present a cohesive narrative with deep research and subtle detail. Podcasts feel rushed in comparison. I can also listen to classic books that will continue to be relevant for hundreds or thousands of years, where most podcasts will be stale in months or years.
No, I mean half of them flat-out don't know how to handle their instruments properly, and even the ones who do are still using them to make art that is lazy, adolescent and derivative.

The golden age has arrived, but for content aggregators and shovel-peddlers.

Aggregators like Spotify will buy up popular podcasts and start setting their revenue percentages on the basis of "attention" or some other engagement metric, that will eventually lead to podcasts diluting their content to appeal to the largest possible base. It's already happened to their playlists.

The shovel-peddlers will be the usual ebook/video course sellers pitching the 2010s version of "How to blog your way to millions", but for podcasts.
It did gain a lot of wealth of selling oil, however it has nothing to do with Norway CO2 emissions.

Carbon footprint describes where the source of CO2 pollution is. You can make plastics from all that oil you buy or burn it all, that's on you. If you do burn it, you become CO2 pollutant, really hard to see the controversial part here.

Nintendo of America’s Reggie Fils-Aime to Retire
Nicely done. The whole Lego thing is pretty powerful. Even Lego thought so and the whole "mindstorms" product line came from that.

However, the really cool stuff as far as I'm concerned is the nylon conductive tape. That is super useful for things like making electrically active textiles and putting circuits into odd places. One ohm per foot isn't too shabby. I ordered a bunch of rolls of that (to make shipping reasonable) and I'm really interested to play around with it.
I have no idea if Reuters is deliberately biased, and I don't think this article shows that. It's just lazy inertia-driven reporting. But inertia-driven reporting is biased, even if the reporter tried to be neutral. It usually ends up subconsciously treating official sources as truth, and everything else as mere claims. But it's what it doesn't report that tilts the story most heavily. Industry PR and politicians give very different answers from e.g. software freedom activists.

I go out for lunch, do not use the phone at all, come back, and Google Play Services itself has used around 25MB. The incessant phone home even while not on WiFi drives me crazy. Maybe it's some app that's asking for data from Google Play and Google gets it and does a handoff, but it's the service being blamed for the usage. So I don't really know how to find out what's instigating the usage.

Serializability vs. Strict Serializability: The Dirty Secret of Isolation Levels
Not that I'd defend either company, but to be fair, landing a rocket is applied engineering and math. Invest enough to build it right, and it will land. Making subjective calls about "good vs bad" content or products, where what's considered good or bad may ebb and flow with current political/cultural whims, is not so straightforward. While "are nazis bad?" is pretty black-and-white, there are a lot of gray area topics. Not sure if adding magical AI fairies would help.
I live in Germany. I can only see German-language podcasts in the app. If I want to see podcasts in English, I need to switch my whole iTunes account to a different country. Of course, that creates problems elsewhere.

I mean, come on. Most of the interesting content is in English. This is a simple feature.
My snarky answer is "Google vs. DDG's usage numbers," but a more serious answer is that yes, that'd be a possibility (but I'd sadly put it on the low end of probable outcomes given what we know about both the stickiness of existing social networks vs. newcomers and how much concern for privacy users actually tend to demonstrate).
That doesn't really seem to address the issue at hand, which concerns allowing people to advertise to Nazis.

At least I hope it doesn't.
