I’m thinking about doing this for my optionally self hosted SaaS. I plan to provide docker images, jar files and maybe some OS packages for common distros but I am still undecided on where to host them as the core jar files are closed source.

The ultimate selling point for doing this is to make it as easy as possible to get started using the product. Docker images on docker hub are the lowest friction method to run the app. (I target developers so assuming they know docker is OK)

As someone who grew up in a technically poor (meaning it didn't feel that way since they hid it well for us) with a comparable number of siblings (won't say exactly how many as to avoid fingerprinting), I know it can be done without military dicipline, because we had nothing of that.

How they did it is more of a mystery even if I saw it first hand. And today I feel I really struggle to let my children experience the fantastic childhood I had, even though I have less than half as many kids as my parents had - and a way better job.
Thanks for posting this.

I've been wondering about how assemblers handle this for a very long time :)
Love it. I wanted to do a similar thing with the food for our kid, but the wife wouldn't support it. And that, as they say, was that.
Is it fair to assume the author is a Mormon? From my limited understanding, large families are the norm for Mormons and I'm guessing there's a lot more structure in that kind of community.

By contrast, my father came from a much laxer 5 child family, and was the only one who went to university. I can't imagine how anyone would manage with 12.

Healthy people without any CVD taking statins experience no reduction in all cause mortality. People with a history of CVD definitely experience a reduction in all cause mortality.

> It is no wonder then that people taking statins don’t have a reduction in all cause mortality and personally I’d rather die of a heart attack than die of cancer or dementia.

So far statin's are associated with a reduced risk of dementia.(I have no idea about cancer, but can't imagine it increases the odds)

Also where are you getting that the DASH diet is effectively poison or ultra processed?
IIRC both Mozart and Schubert have fallen in and out of the repertoire and had to be "rediscovered" by musicologists in the 20th century as people didn't "get" their music - at one point people thought Mozart was only good for writing light music.

I'm both glad they found a system that worked, and very happy that I was not one of their kids. I agree with not babying your children (I was staying home alone after school by 10, and babysitting neighbors by 12), but having large amounts of unstructured time outside of school was actually incredibly positive for me overall. I was able to get a lot of introspection time in, and still got plenty of social time by engaging with the neighborhood kids in various shenanigans. Plus some people are just not cut out for sports.

FWIW, both me and my sister still grew up to meet this author's definition of financial independence & education "success", despite being picky eaters, having divorced parents, and never learning how to camp in the wild over vacation or take solo airplane trips as children (that stuff is expensive!).

Work just enough hours part-time to cover your bills.

A year later I managed to break into my new career path thanks to me having a lot of free time to focus on myself and my career switch.

Best decision ever.
Simple. You don’t have that many kids in the first place. Step 1 of “common-sense responsible parenting in a post hunter-gatherer society.”
Incredible, how do the parents maintain any semblance of sanity with 12 kids in this day and age. I’m overwhelmed with the thought of having baby2.

I think they would focus less on wealth as a driver of social status, but they'd definitely still focus on social status. Instead it would be based around what hobbies you had, how important your volunteer work is etc...

> The inventor can't realistically compete with the big corporation, so he is branded a "non-practicing entity".

A characteristic of software that distinguishes it from most other industries is that software "inventions" are implemented as a work of authorship rather than a physical product. If you invent a new kind of battery and want to mass produce it, you need real estate for a factory, manufacturing equipment, factory workers, contracts with raw materials suppliers, etc.

If you invent a new kind of software, to mass produce it you distribute it over the internet, which is very inexpensive and within the reach of most everyone.

The result is that the small inventor generally can compete, but the very act of doing business makes it more difficult to enforce a patent against a big corporation, because as soon as you do they turn around and counterclaim with their own thousands of patents, many of which are invalid or not infringed but it doesn't matter because the litigation costs would bankrupt you.

The result is that the small inventor is hurt by software patents (the big corporation can in practice use them against the small practicing inventor but not vice versa), and anything that weakens or eliminates them helps the little guy. Meanwhile the entities that do initiate software patent litigation are commonly lawyers that have picked old software patents from the bones of dead businesses to use them to attack the surviving ones, which is obviously not a sympathetic business model. The attorneys doing this professionally are presumably aware of this.
It's not like government can't abuse privacy all the same.
I feel the same way and wish all CPUs had at least some rudimentary video output capability. I've always appreciated Intel for that. They've taken a mobile-first / mobile->desktop strategy, and AMD adopted a server-first / server->desktop strategy. Intel's desktop CPUs are a bit of an afterthought, and AMD's mobile (APU) is a bit of an afterthought.

For AMD, what they've done makes the most sense, as fighting Intel in the mobile space is the toughest market to break into. You can get a cheap Geforce 1050 for $130 or so, and with the perk of having great OpenGL/DX drivers to keep anything that you do end up using it for, nice and snappy. I'm in your same boat and use a 2700X and a 1060.

AMD should really have their motherboard vendors add some sort of basic functionality, like the old IGPs.

> Now the hot canned coffee wasn't actually good (I had to try it)

You just have to find the one type of can that doesn't have added sugar or milk. Once you know those nothing beats pulling a warm can of black coffee from the machine.

Really, the first company to introduce these on stations here in the Netherlands (or anywhere these don't exist) will turn a handsome profit if they stick to the Japanese formula for 自動販売機: small cans, low prices, decent selection, warm coffee, and located on train platforms. The novelty factor of the warm cans will take care of initial promotion.

But leave out that one warm corn drink.
Wow yeah. It seems that they did a good job of raising obeying children but the writer does not mention whether they taught their children to question their society and to rebel. Which I feel is utterly important.

Such a way to raise children does not seem to leave much room to flexibility and creativity. Children should learn to adapt in a moving and not completely defined environment anyway.

Also, are they able to cope with someone who sees things as (unspoken) agreements instead of (strict) rules?

And I feel if parents can pay for their children's studies, this is an opportunity to take. Life is easy when you can! At the beggining of your life it's difficult to get good money, so you struggle, but at the time your children goes to college, you may have a good income. So instead of paying your studies, you pay for your children's and they will do the same for theirs. Same amounts, a lot easier. Life is not meant to be hard (Granted it works best with fewer children). (Maybe it is not meant at all anyway but this is another question)

Anyway, it seems the children are doing well so if it works for them, great (we only have the point of view of the father - why "I" and not "we" in the title by the way?)
There's a company called Rivian that's working on an electric pickup. After doing engine work and chasing leaks on my older Tacoma, I admit I've entertained the thought of swapping in a Tesla powertrain.

I think it's a great idea, honestly. No low hanging prop shaft or exhaust to limit your breakover height, loads of torque. You'd also get the benefit of a super tight traction control feedback loop and independent power to every wheel, which would be just magic in icy or muddy conditions.

How to land Android Dev job in 2019 part1
Back then I used lynx on the text terminals at university and shortly after upgraded my PC at home (running Linux) from 4 MB to 8 MB of RAM (which did cost about an arm and a leg) so that I could run Mosaic with its statically linked Motif libs on it... When I think back the thing that amazes me most is the fact that I ran a Unix system along with X11 and a Motif application in all of 8 MB of RAM.

I still use lynx now and then even today. Haven't seen any Motif app for a long while, though.

Everyone here knows how those alternatives work, but we’re unusual. I think (I’m not a chemist) it’s like being on a chemistry forum expressing surprise about a ban on <generic drug example> when it’s “easy” to make the stuff at home.

We’re blocking JavaScript as a security precaution when normal people often still use 123456 as their password.

I still think banning Facebook would be a net win, but it’s not zero cost.
> It's also mentioned in Mac OS X Internals: A Systems Approach, FWIW.

It's funny you should mention this. After someone sent me an amazing pull request using this call, I thought "hm, this should be in Mac OS X Internals: A Systems Approach. Why didn't I see it?" So I looked it up, and yes, it's there, but there's nowhere near enough context or description for it to be of use to anyone but (at most) the author. Here's what it says:

The /usr/libexec/StartupItemContext program can be used to run an executable in the startup context—that is, the context in which the Mac OS X startup items run. It works by calling bootstrap_parent() repeatedly until it has reached the startup (root) context. It then sets the port as its own bootstrap port, after which it can execute the requested program.

The automatic relaunching of servers by the Bootstrap Server is useful for creating crash-resistant servers. However, it is neither necessary not advisable to create production servers by directly using the Bootstrap Server interface. Beginning with MacOS X 10.4, the launch API, as exported through <launch.h>, should be used. With this caveat, let us look at two examples of using the Bootstrap Server interface.

Django tries to keep as little dependancies as possible.

Personally when I use django, I also use pendulum at the same time. Django timezone management is limited to storing, retrieving and formatting time zone aware dates, but for:

- calculations

- moving from one time zone to another

- display of relative time

- parsing

- interval manipulations

Pendulum is making the job a breeze.

Let's put back things in context: most people don't need those features at all. And most people won't be affected by the bug in the article.

Use pendulum if you need it, which is quite rarely.

When I say people usually use libs like it, I mean people that have specific tasks that requires it. Few people actually do.

It's like asyncio, or "is python fast enough" and other things like that.

Knowing what sort of data and from what format would be helpful. XML documents are just text documents though, so you can go from very simple bash scripts, m4 templates, moustache templates, and many others.

Personally I go for shell scripts (and heredocs) for simple things and awk + m4 for more complex data driven things. Anything more complicated than that and fprintf from a real language is better, although less ergonomic.

Does anyone know of anything similar in a more popular language, like Python?

In particular, what I dislike about all other static generators is they come with their own templating language, which is usually limited, stupid and broken in various ways. I just want to mix Python and Markdown, but have the code replaced with its output, to make it easy to build more complicated structures.

Exam Surveillance – The Return. (ExamCookie)
ABSTRACT
In theory, database transactions protect application data from cor- ruption and integrity violations. In practice, database transactions frequently execute under weak isolation that exposes programs to a range of concurrency anomalies, and programmers may fail to correctly employ transactions. While low transaction volumes mask many potential concurrency-related errors under normal operation, determined adversaries can exploit them programmatically for fun and profit. In this paper, we formalize a new kind of attack on database-backed applications called an ACIDRain attack, in which an adversary systematically exploits concurrency-related vulnerabil- ities via programmatically accessible APIs. These attacks are not theoretical: ACIDRain attacks have already occurred in a handful of applications in the wild, including one attack which bankrupted a popular Bitcoin exchange. To proactively detect the potential for ACIDRain attacks, we extend the theory of weak isolation to analyze latent potential for non-serializable behavior under concurrent web API calls. We introduce a language-agnostic method for detecting potential isolation anomalies in web applications, called Abstract Anomaly Detection (2AD), that uses dynamic traces of database accesses to efficiently reason about the space of possible concurrent interleavings. We apply a prototype 2AD analysis tool to 12 popular self-hosted eCommerce applications written in four languages and deployed on over 2M websites. We identify and verify 22 critical ACIDRain attacks that allow attackers to corrupt store inventory, over-spend gift cards, and steal inventory.

Many taxes can get passed onto the buyer of the taxed good, but I'm not convinced that digital advertising is one of them. Roughly speaking, digital advertisers like Facebook and Google end up selling 100% of their inventory of views at a price set by the value of the conversions driven to the ad buyers. Adding a tax in this model forces advertisers to lower bids in order to remain profitable, which then forces the advertising platform to lower prices to continue selling 100% of their inventory.

This is the same economic modeling behind the incidence of land-value taxes falling on landlords, not renters. When you're taxing a product of fixed size that is priced at whatever the market will bear, taxes get taken out of the owners' economic rents.
