Sync is meant to sync transactions from your bank. Right now it has rudimentary screen scraping, and since I don't have infinite throughput, I wrote a way for others to create these methods for their own bank. Once it's working, I can add it into the app and others can use.

I'm trying to get OFX support, which is the much-requested "auto syncing" feature that everyone wants.
Utterly nonsensical. You don't need the internet to be radicalized, people have been willing to kill in the name of their convictions for as long as humans have existed. I predict even if somehow every white supremacist were booted off the internet, no lives at all would be saved, as they just don't need the internet to kill people, or to learn to hate.

This is purely giving up rights for the sake of security theatre.
It is, by definition, censorship. It's not _government_ censorship, but it's still censorship.

I have a zipline in my back yard, when I first put it up it was roughly 80' long, my kids were 4 & 6 and I would manage them because (a) be a parent and (b) they were careless/clueless AF.

I extended the zipline to 200' this spring, it goes over about 50' of water. They're 6 & 8 now, they hook themselves up and do all the safety checks I showed them once. Literally once.

They also have full access to my workshop, they respect it and ask before cutting off their fingers.

I think we underestimate the young mind's respect for responsibility when we give it to them. Conversely, if you protect your child from everything, they do not develop the skills that ask inherent questions such as 'how can this thing I'm about to do grow wrong? What is my plan if it does go south?'
Yes, it is ultimately TT. The order goes:
UTC -> TAI -> TT

I could argue the TAI to TT is the second step. But let's put the pedantry aside: Is your best answer of something made easier in the modern world by leap seconds ensuring that solar noon happens at exactly 12:00:00 four times a year on an exact line of longitude for the time zone? And 4 times a year would require a time zone that does not honor daylight time, otherwise it is twice.

I'm not some crackpot here talking about the absurdity of leap seconds. US, China, Australia, Japan, S. Korea are on board for discussions about abolishing to happen in 2023.
I thought no that's the reason why right answer. He could be as much in the right as possible, and but he still took significant risk that they might argue, delay and force him to go to court or negotiate to get them to pay.

Tailwindcss v1.0 Released
> Xcode 10's new text editor broke control-T, which has worked correctly in every text field since the earliest days of Mac OS X.

I couldn't believe this, so I tried it. To clarify: in Xcode 10.2.1, typing control-T between two characters in a line exchanges the two characters, as expected. But typing control-T at the end of the line does not perform the special case of exchanging the two characters at the end of the line; instead it exchanges the last character of the line with the newline, thereby moving the last character onto the next line.

We make websites, and not a tremendous amount beyond that bar a few Laravel apps.

I suspect we travel in totally different worlds?!
> By all means, make them safe enough that kids won't get maimed or killed - but keeping kids from ever falling far enough to feel any real pain is probably counter- productive in the long term.

There is no room between "overprotection" and "freedom", that guarantees safety from harm. Serious accidents have to be accepted before they even happen.

A scary prospect for many parents, I am sure.
OFX is the API they use. You need specific credentials that can be found online. If a bank doesn't offer OFX support, you can use the tried-and-true method of web scraping the information out, which is what Quicken does as a last-resort.

But the short added selling pressure.

Essentially as they cover the short, they are just removing the extra selling pressure they created.
People always talk about driving with gaps[1], but I've yet to see a simulator show how detrimental/beneficial these strategies are to individual drivers.

It feels like a hawks and doves style ESS (evolutionary stable strategy) problem. It appears to me that the strategy that eliminates the overall negative affect for the group (avoid creating phantom stop signs, by gapping or "always in the middle" strategies) is necessarily unstable.

The benefit to any single driver who does not follow that rule becomes increasingly high as more and more others do follow the rule. Even to the point of ignoring a beeping car I should think. I certainly feel the negative effect driving behind someone who creates a gap as more and more cars merge in front of them. In the pathological case the driver who insists on a safe interval between cars will make no progress at all.

As the article says, people will drive at the speeds that feel safe... in the Netherlands, more and more roads are redesigned for that.

Bumps, parked spots, narrowings and removal of (dividing) lines/road markings are used to bring the traffic back to its intended speed.

"A simple solution, blanket our roads with camera speed enforcement everywhere"

I can't think of any problem with our traffic system that is bad enough to make your solution desirable. Not traffic deaths, arbitrary enforcement, efficiency... nothing.
haha, I actually saw that comment shortly after I wrote the first version of mine. Did some searching on HN to see if anyone else was doing something like this -- it made me feel a little less weird about my idea to know that someone else was, in fact. Cool to know that you are too!

I also like that yours is generic -- I'm curious what other use cases might exist for an SMS based query system for sheets.

Another minor feature I added was lists so that my partner and I could keep our shopping list synchronized -- I could imagine it working well for that too

> The idea that I don't know how many UTC seconds will pass between now and May 15, 2022 0:00:00 is absurd.

It's perfectly sensible though? 0:00:00 is a designation of an event. Namely, the event of midnight during a particular rotation of our planet. Every calendar day is one rotation, so May 15, 2022 is also an event -- it's that many rotations of Earth after today. But a second is a duration and it's independent of Earth's rotation. An asteroid could hit the earth and make the rotation shorter or longer (or just shatter the planet...) in the meantime. You obviously can't know how many seconds will pass until that particular midnight. It's inconvenient, but it makes perfect sense when you can't predict the future.

If they keep posting posting content you don't like, then yes. Your timeline isn't going to change unless you change it.

Because it won't do anything. A dislike would just be another number on a post next to the like and retweet counters, which are (supposedly) a major cause of the toxicity on Twitter.
What NZ has been saying is that there should be no way for an ordinary, unaccredited member of the public to view any archived copies of any of the Christchurch killer's propaganda anywhere online, something normal internet users apparently can do with ISIS propaganda via archive.org. They've been quite consistent about this since day zero, from what I can tell.

So yeah, they beat you :-)

Tell that to the kids who died playing in unsafe conditions.

One can certainly argue that we've gone too far in the direction of removing all risk of injury. But saving lives? Absolutely the right thing to do! One preventable death is one death too many.

The goal here should be "controlled risk". Not no risk at all, but controlled risk in well-understood conditions to ensure that kids can still experiment and have fun without risking death or permanent injury. This article mentions kids having access to hammers and nails and planks to build stuff. That's controlled risk; they could hurt themselves, but they're not going to kill themselves (at least, not by accident). But you wouldn't give them a nail gun.
Really the Trump tarrifs havr been more moronic than usual in being more on raw materials and parts instead of finished products. That is literally exactly backwards for how tarriffs are supposed to be done.

It also panders to rural extractives and low complexity manufacturing so there may be demagoguery to this massive stupidity.
Perhaps. Unfortunately absolute enshrinement of anything and the inability to critically evaluate when to allow for common-sense deviation from such enshrinement is a bit of a progress-stopper.

> See how you setup the perfect straw-man here - "If you aren't on the side of our perfect, morality infused, turbo-boosted censorship, you must sympathize with Nazis!".

In your example of a strawman you are making up a strawman.

> "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

This sounds nice in theory, but no, you won't and this argument is high-flying bullshit.

The argument about free speech is used only when the defense of nazis are involved. When the discussion comes to any other topic such as police brutality, racism, discrimination etc. these voices are conspicuously absent.

> ChristChurch shooter's manifesto et.al. is probably already illegal, without requiring a new speech police

In other words -- things are illegal but let's not make any laws or have any clear legal mechanisms to effectively enforcing this.
There was an interesting video on youtube about global recycling.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gNZtI7hbvI

Since china exports so much and we export so little, rather than send empty shipping containers back to china, we fill it with our garbage and send that back to china to recycle.

China exports goods. We export garbage to china. And it's been going on for decades.

These companies are very much about externalizing the cost. They externalize cost onto the public for what is free pickup/dropoff of friends/family. They externalize the cost of maintenance and insurance onto the owners. They externalize the cost of public parking area to "store" the cars when not in use.

What you most often are looking at is corporations exploiting benefits to the public for their profit.

Having owned speakers in that range and listened to numerous pairs in the 5k range: a fair price is the price the speaker that sounds good to you costs. Measurable differences do not matter, what matters is your ear and your taste, both of which change over time. So whatever you do, don't buy anything based on reviews, go into a hifi store with a CD (or usb or whatever) with your favourite songs that you have a good idea of how you would like them to sound, and ask them to have a listening session with a number of different models. Then buy the pair that sounds best.
It would do good to remember that while the US has a valid concern that the Chinese govt could force Huawei to spy on US telecoms, the US has laws in place that allow it to do the exact same when it comes to equipment from the US being used in other countries.
I don't think there's a sleep command in Javascript. It is against the "entire browser runs in a single thread" model, and it would make no sense up to very recently before promises were created (what it would do? start a call-back?).

If the question is from somebody with extensive experience in JS, that's a clear red flag (I don't have any extensive experience in JS). If it's from somebody with passing experience, it's not that bad. That said, I have no idea how to call sleep in any of the ~4 languages I'm currently using either.
As someone currently running a bitnami wordpress site on aws it's pretty nice being able to SSH in and change whatever you want. Bitnami gives you a reasonable starting point but then you have a lot of flexibility over how you manage the server. Maybe installing everything yourself isn't too hard, but I only run the website because I happen to be the most technically competent person around so it's nice not to have to think about it.

Admittedly I've only tried one managed wordpress service, but it was total garbage in comparison. Debugging basically involved opening a support request because even the most basic tools weren't available.
I don't understand that statement. I believe North Korea is a totalitarian state with concentrated power in few hands and no tolerance for dissidence. Are you saying they allow non-state actors to speak and take action freely to promote extreme ideologies there?
Show HN: Optimized multi-stage dockerfile for Node.js applications
When I was a kid, my elementary school had an elaborate playground. The standard swings, slides, and monkey bars -- with sand underneath for a soft landing -- were supplemented with numerous structures built out of old tires, including tire geodesic domes to serve as spaceships or houses and a tower built out of giant tractor tires packed with sand and a wooden spire in the middle to serve as a watchtower, ship's mast, or Decepticon base. Central to this tire wonderland was TireTown, a huge two-story fortification with many rooms, tire bridges to two smaller tire outposts and poles to slide down for a quick escape.

But of course, this is southern Connecticut, where people have their lawyers on speed dial. TireTown and its accoutrements were a lawsuit waiting to happen. When I surveyed my old school on Google Maps a few years ago, they were all gone, replaced with a much smaller standard playground.
I would certainly appreciate that kind of content too, maybe I'll do some research. But I can also see it both ways — applying functionalism to things like fashion is often a surprising source of insights and epiphanies.
We have to make the USA a viable place to live without a vehicle before we can increase license requirements. If we raise the standards too high, then people will just drive without licenses. Of course, it's probably a self-correcting problem, because I suspect many poor drivers are doing so out of obligation and would no drive if they had a viable alternative.

Designing our cities around the automobile was one of the worst mistakes this country made.

If GC & runtime is on the table, then there are many nicer languages you can use (Go, D, Swift, Kotlin). I assume that the C and C++ users who haven't switched yet are largely the "GC-hating" crowd that can't.

COM and other refcounted ones get a pass. But I'm surprised that Unreal gets away with a mark-and-sweep GC. Perhaps because it's only required for UObjects, and the rest of the codebase can still easily avoid using the GC? You can even cause use-after-free bugs on UObjects, if you want to.

The definition of "meat-based" in that thesis is interesting:

>> Meat-based diets presume consumption of a combination of plant-based foods in combination with differing kinds of meats and fish and can include milk products, honey, and eggs.

So "meat-based" is any diet that includes any amount of meat. A person who eats a beef steak every day and a person who eats a chicken leg twice a week are both counted under "meat-based" and their environmental impact is calculated as one, and compared to vegan and vegetarian diets'.

I find that dodgy to say the least.

Also, I don't see where the bit you quote agrees with, and so is a likely source for, the bit of the OP's comment I quoted.

At first I was going to argue that they could stop it and that they did have the "technology" to do so, but the more I thought about it the more I concluded that in the system we have built, they really cannot. Profitable ideas are unstoppable until they are proved less profitable than some other idea, or regulated out of existence. Fiduciary duty enshrines this into law. Sufficient competition ensures that it is the only winning strategy.
