IMO, that kind of last-minute top-down bikeshedding is something that needs to be accounted for in the project scheduling process. The rifle was on-schedule for an idealized process, but didn't have enough time to go through all the usual BS.

You can pay with a SEPA payment within EU from one account to another in another country, as if making a transfer within a country.

Basically all you need is the IBAN.

The currency will be converted to euro but you don't need to be within the eurozone, only within EU.
You can ZFS send proxmox backups to rsync.net over SSH
That's a good observation. Given the alternative between bidding for performance from Network Next vs paying some flat fee to Comcast, et al. directly, I'd go with NN and let them deal with Comcast.

... and then maybe add "faster gameplay" power ups to our loot boxes (kidding).
Really? We get a lot of "EU-ORG" (the leaf of stars logo) stuff that is also "USDA Organic" labelled. I wonder how many of those products do not have the EU-ORG label in the US.

> EU has much stricter rules regarding food quality

And within the EU the standards are also widely different, especially in the non-EU-ORG stuff.

And what happens when you tell the story and everybody just completely ignores you?

TBH I find that a lot more frustrating than ppl missing the point on what you were trying to say. That is exactly is what happened to me a week ago... I will keep on trying, though :-)

Okay, but what does that mean in practice? Almost every project posted on HN already has a name and at least a short description of why it exists or what it's trying to do (often in the title itself). They still get bikeshedded to hell, so obviously the name and story alone aren't enough. I see a ton of posts where people bicker specifically about the name or the story (half the comments are "is this actually an issue?").

The linked post spends the entire time describing the problem but only 4 tiny sentences on the solution. It's really not self-explanatory even though it treats it like it is. Was writing it this way intended to be some kind of meta-commentary that's just going over my head?
No, definitely not one of those "get rich via pyramid scheme" companies. Reliable engineering-driven company with nerds at the helm. You might use their products daily. Do your research ;-)

Just a note - 'zfs send' capable rsync.net accounts have a 10TB minimum size (because we need to run a VM for you and give you a real ipv4 address, etc.)

However, we're pushovers and we keep letting people in for 2TB or larger. Still a minimum, however, and note that "normal" rsync.net accounts cannot be accessed with 'zfs send' (although they are still on a zfs filesystem, of course).
Your test only works if ctrl + scroll is associated with zooming.
> every time that you buy things with your credit card the bank change the business a small fee, so in a way you are making the 'rich' more richer and the 'poor' more poorer.

I used to work for a small "mom n pop" style computer store, and did the cash drops most days. My understanding was that the cash handling fees were roughly the same as the card fees. Arguably card processing was cheaper for us,and less error prone (card machine hooked up directly to the till means I won't accidentally give the wrong change when I'm hungover, for example. )

Most of the time you see steep charges for paying by card (e.g. taxis) theyre related to tax avoidance - if you pay cash thryll just pocket it and not log it as a trip, whereas if there's a card payment there's a paper trail.
The semaphore ploy strikes me as much more rooted in information, thus the description “cyber”. Stealing code is just theft, since the object of theft doesn't generally qualify the act (though it does in some cases).
The Riot links are pretty great too, very much worth it.
Yes, in a different construction there would be no problem. And there have been plans since at least 2016 to replace/augment the current construction with something that uses a master key to derive per-chunk encryption keys; it just never has been implemented.

IIRC AES-GCM was kinda low on the list with a preference for just using Chapoly, because Chapoly just works and is also secure on any processor, unlike AES-GCM, which is very nasty to implement without hardware support for the arithmetic over GF(2^128).
I have a card with Barclays I discovered through uber. I only use it for uber rides and at restaurants. I have enough rewards points to get a $25 Amazon gift card at least once a month. Last month it was $50.

To save the file, instead of clicking the big, colored "Save" button you must click the smaller, gray "Download" button. Where does it download from? From my computer to my computer? How did that ever make sense to anyone?
I just told you: a friggin installer. All cross-platorm features are inconsequential if you can't easily distribute the application on multiple platforms in the first place.
As someone lucky enough not to deal with these issues, I think the idea of these games bringing these issues to a broader group of people is really important. For example, I bought Celeste because it was a great platforming game, and found myself really unexpectedly moved by the plot of her depression/anxiety and it's relation to the mountain. That said, I would not have bought the game because of the plot alone. I think this is a really awesome and clever way of making these issues better known!

What's the overhead of exceptions like in Python? With .NET at least, especially with a debugger attached, this would have a pretty considerable impact!
It isn’t a pivot to services. They create their own services so they have leverage. Now instead of being forced into bad agreements they can set the terms.

Ultimately access to these services is limited enough that they’ll never become a monopoly so in my opinion they are a great addition to the landscape.
Even the assumption that it's a letter followed by numbers is US-centric... for most European countries at least, the tail 'number' is actually all letters; and there are many countries whose identifying prefixes contain a number.
As a researcher you will notice that simple and catchy title for your paper will give you far more citations than a paper that has more descriptive titles.

Wow, this community is so good. Three hours after posting and I've already got a few interested emails from experienced devs looking to lend a hand here. So, it _looks_ like we should have the opp to move forward with something in the weeks to come. Would still be nice to get a couple more emails from knowledge-heavy Linux devs, since that's not a strength of mine. (bill -at- staticobject.com)

I also haven't heard from anyone with connections to OSS projects at Google/MS. I've assumed (perhaps incorrectly) there are departments at smart tech cos that selectively contribute to high impact OSS projects (dev resources or other)? Even if not for contributing resources, would be valuable to get a bit of talk time from those that have successfully executed a project like this before.

It's likely just a regular card and the stripe will be clonable. Saying there's "no number" sounds like a gimmick that has nothing to do with real risks.
I hope they're paying close attention to Rotten Tomatoes' problems with politically motivated review bombing.
I completely agree with this. It's actually hard to delegate too much. Almost all managers I've ever known have delegated too little. I think they're afraid that by delegating important parts of their job they're diminishing their role in the company, but it's actually the opposite. Leadership is not necessarily a zero sum game: you can elevate yourself while also elevating those you work with.
I admit at my first job, I did have a manager who couldn't stand that I never looked busy. I wrote scripts and macros to automate most of my work, one of which the team lead declared the biggest productivity booster in the team. But I was always leaning back watching my scripts do the work, and that manager hated that.

I've never met that type since I started working for more professional organisations, though.
I think it's unlikely the parent was referring to actual physical harassment.

I agree with the premise that acceptance would probably be higher for someone who comes across as awkward, or makes a social faux pas in an effort to fit in if they were on the spectrum, as opposed to just being "that weird guy."
I'm not sure why I'm being downvoted...I'd love to have an explanation from that person of how much diamond inheritance benefits our lives and makes it so much simpler to write maintainable code.
Retail banks were on the front lines making the liar loans that got everything started. Investment banks wouldn't have had any bogus mortgages to bet on without retail banks originating them.

Python is already so slow that it's comparable to normal iteration. But here's an example:

timeit('next(x)', 'x = iter(range(1<<30))', number=1<<22) # 0.22

timeit('''try: raise StopIteration()
except StopIteration: pass''', number=1<<22) # 0.78
Snark aside, I really believe this is terrible advice for an artist. I'd argue that most worthwhile art does not have a message, and if it does, the work is not a "reduction of that message into the simplest clearest, easiest to understand form."

What enduring work of art fits this description? I think that most great artworks are great because they are complex; because their "message" is something elusive that unfolds over time with deeper engagement.

This entire tough-love-self-help attitude of "nobody wants to read your shit" also seems completely counterproductive. I much prefer the advice making your work to satisfy yourself, emotionally and intellectually without worrying too much about who wants it, and to find a community where you're interested in what they're doing - so they will probably be interested in what you're doing at least in the general outlines - which can serve a place to test and develop your ideas and craft.

Part of the issue is that those assumptions of relatively short ranges were reached in an environment of actual fighting in jungle environments in Vietnam, and prospective fighting in built-up or forested environments in Europe. In arid regions, battle rifles with their longer ranges and lower volume of fire are arguably a better tradeoff. See, for example, the use of early-20th-century British battle rifles by the Taliban (https://atwar.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/01/31/taliban-gun-locke...), resulting from terrain like the title photo at (https://atwar.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/04/19/a-firsthand-look-...)

(Their use is deterred by other factors, namely ammunition availability and concealability.)
It is your view that is incoherent. A brain and and a PC are physical systems that work based on causal physical mechanisms. Both can run algorithms, e.g., my brain and a computer can both instantiate the same algorithm, albeit in very different ways.
Your argument actually seems to be based on some notion of function, or extrinsic utility, or teleology of some sort, i.e., computers are artifacts created for a specific use, while animals and their brains just exist in themselves, or something to that effect?

Yes, if you're not diagnosed ADHD I would emphasize a _strong_ word of caution when even considering using amphetamines for productivity purposes.

These medications are often strong enough and have enough addiction potential that even people _with_ ADHD end up abusing them. Be careful.
And the gig economy marketplaces expands that 'some' to 'all', since it's near-impossible to find out what's happening with any one gig worker once your brief interaction with them is over. Thanks to all that smart tech that automatically matches buyers to sellers, they probably don't even have a manager to notice they got sick.

The more you reduce human contact and any chance of forming a relationship, the more cog-like workers will be treated. And reducing human contact in the name of efficiency is exactly what all those gig economy services do.

Just because some servants are already abused, doesn't mean gig economy won't make it worse.
We need to start thinking about how to make products reusable, not just recyclable.
Encourage glass bottles that last longer, and are easier to clean to refill.

Another way to tackle this problem is to stop generating so much waste. Discourage people from buying one-use items that can be replaced with reusable alternatives. I get that plastic water bottles are convenient and quick, but we generate so much waste (albeit recyclable) just through water bottles alone.
Disagree with this, this is why the industry is filled with junior engineers doing ineffective algorithm whiteboard interviews. Hiring is too important to leave to engineers who don't want to do it. Generally they will do a bad job because it's just an annoying thing getting in the way of their work.

Hiring is broken because engineers think it's just another problem you can apply typical engineering solution. Same kind of thinking that causes the terrible customer service in Google products like random algorithm locking out accounts.

Nice project, but why are all hardware guys designing projects without ANY security?

Page 14, the guide explains the connection to the modem is possible with Telnet with no password...

That's a common issue in IoT and embedded systems, it seems, so I'm wondering if there is a reason why hardware developers just fail at security ?

We're using Bacula, because in our case it's the only thing that works with our volume, and also works with tape (which is the only cost effective way we've found to archive multi petabyte datasets).

But I'm not very happy about it, because it's insanely overcomplicated for no really good reason, and because of it being file-based.
I normally look forward to shelling my black beans by hand as I find it pleasant and relaxing, but yes, it does take some time that way, even for a few cups. However, I've also put loads of the shells into a sack when they were all pretty much dried and vigorously worked it over for less than a minute. Then, nearly all the beans will come pouring out into a pan where a fan or a little blowing will take out the little dry bits of shell. Not much work at all, though wheat is probably a lot tougher to do that way.

A friend asked me why I bother with dry beans, when they are so cheap to buy anyway. I replied that I can control the inputs, resulting in the highest quality beans, and they are so easy to grow, so why not? I'm not growing a ton of them to sell, so I care less about the economies of scale.
Video games are a temporary panacea, if even that. Notice how no doctors, studies, or anything worthwhile was cited -- just self-reported anecdata.

Nothing can replace well-trained mental health specialists (psychologists and psychiatrists), a solid support system (family, friends), healthy social environments (book club, church), and physical activity (a friendly soccer league, going on trips, exploring). "More videogames" for people that are already anxious and depressed seems honestly like some of the most harmful and bizarre advice I've ever seen.

Written about here:

https://mattwarren.org/2018/06/07/CoreRT-.NET-Runtime-for-AO...

"One of the first things people asked about CoreRT is “what is the size of a ‘Hello World’ app” and the answer is ~3.93 MB (if you compile in Release mode), but there is work being done to reduce this."

..

"So Test.CoreLib really is a minimal runtime!! But the difference in size is dramatic, it shrinks down to 0.49 MB compared to 3.93 MB for the fully-featured runtime!"
In Germany the acceptance for credit cards only became large scale after the interchange fee was limited. Today, most stores that accept card payments also accept credit cards, but only MasterCard and Visa. Using an AMEX as your primary card would be a pretty bad experience, because you'd constantly need a backup.

With that said, I'm happy most merchants don't put up with the humongous fees—in the end the prices are just raised to compensate for them.
I'm hosting my mail on my own server with postfix and dovecot for 6 years now. It's running smoothly, but I invested alot of work into it. it was fun to figure out how everything is working, anything I needed to know I had to google and stitch the pieces together for my needs, but it was totally worth it because I learned so much when doing it.
Since I know how easy the whole system could fail, I would never run a professional/commercial mail server by myself, not even for a small company. Office365, always!

So google for postfix, dovecot, mysql, dkim, roundcube and figure out how to glue it all together. Advise: start with an unused domain, not with your everyday mail address, migration can be done when everything is tested and running.
I honestly think part of this is just Dan's writing style in general. When I read his posts I often get a sense of him wanting to try and explain ideas at a conceptual level and teach people how to think and apply the concepts themselves, rather than provide step by step instructions for anything. I am far from an avid Overreacted reader though, I just read what gets posted here, mostly.
There have been many studies on the topic. The occasional differences are statistically significant but not significant enough to impact health. Here are a few reviews:

> Conclusion: From a systematic review of the currently available published literature, evidence is lacking for nutrition-related health effects that result from the consumption of organically produced foodstuffs.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19640946

> CONCLUSIONS: On the basis of a systematic review of studies of satisfactory quality, there is no evidence of a difference in nutrient quality between organically and conventionally produced foodstuffs. The small differences in nutrient content detected are biologically plausible and mostly relate to differences in production methods.

https://annals.org/aim/article-abstract/1355685/organic-food...

> Conclusion: The published literature lacks strong evidence that organic foods are significantly more nutritious than conventional foods. Consumption of organic foods may reduce exposure to pesticide residues and antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
