Let's Get GitHub Sponsors to Support Bitcoin and Ethereum
If you don't want to read, just go here and star this repo: https://github.com/lastmjs/enable-cryptocurrency-in-funding-yml

Hey everyone,

GitHub Sponsors just recently released, allowing GitHub repositories to show the official means of donating to them. They do this through a special file called `FUNDING.yml`. It supports official fields such as `patreon`, `open_collective`, and `tidelift`.

I think it would be amazing if they added as officially supported fields `bitcoin` and `ethereum`.

Please star this repo and suggest improvements to the proposal. I have reason to believe that if enough of us ask for this feature, GitHub will implement it: https://github.com/lastmjs/enable-cryptocurrency-in-funding-yml
If your already in a mobility scooter, I could see it being modified to work in ebike mode. In a way, it's even more convenient for you because you don't have to lock it up or park it anywhere.

Compare a picture of Kansas City to one of Manhattan. In Kansas City, there are entire city blocks in the middle of downtown solely dedicated to parking, and more blocks that are given to massive highways to move people downtown. In Manhattan, there is virtually no given space given to such endeavors.
Have you considered releasing a freeware thing that I can play around with experiment with, which doesn't require payment information?

Also, I didn't see your answer to the guy's question about the safeguards you take to uphold information security measures. Could you comment on this please?

We hear this a lot, and it's something I'm personally interested in. There are also a few tradeoffs and downsides involved in building it… but it's something we’re actively considering.
Characterally.
Apologies, @staltz could you expand more? Is this centralized? Or federated, along the lines of Mastodon?

Why not do this decentralized? Should be possible. NAB (p2p Reddit) does something similar with GUN via "spaces" that are under a public key, but requires no centralized host/server/etc. should be trivial to do the same in SSB.
Yeah, illegal cannabis growers are known for using incredibly toxic pesticides. Another reason to stick with licensed dispensaries.
How quickly people forget.

Across most of Europe, haircut shops and barbershops used to be the same thing all the way to the late 80s.
1. Interest rates have been low for a decade now, causing no real inflationary crisis. The localized housing issues are due mostly to income disparities, lack of space for development, foreign investment, and zoning regulations.

2&3. Democrats "running on" some policy does not at all mean it will happen. In the current political climate, it's quite likely their holding a position means it won't happen.

4. Large firms have already been using record low interest rates to finance stock buybacks. This has been going on for years. The last three or four years of stock price growth has been fueled by financed buybacks, with every year breaking the previous year's record. At some point will need to stop.

As an aside, these buybacks are likely going to be the cause of our next stock market calamity.

5. This is sort of legit fear, but 3 trillion dollar is not really enough to make a market-wide impact and selling their bonds would just push interest rates lower, serving to help the US achieve their current monetary policy. They could use this money to selectively certain industries though.

Our services send to fluentd running on each instance which aggregate and flush to a Kinesis stream in AWS with KCL workers responsible for putting it through a separate pipeline that allocates the logs to specific indexes depending on the service(s) they come from as well as applying ACLs on a per-index basis.
Hmm OK, there might be some misunderstanding there because I'm not a native speaker, but in my mind it's a small step below "obliterated". If it also refers to just taking a small bite out of its market share, then my apologies for the misunderstanding.

I'm beginning to get skeptical whether you've actually read the paper. It is not making a silver bullet claim or denying the forecast originally present in No Silver Bullet. If so, it would be asserting some way to significantly reduce or completely remove essential complexity. It instead attempts to find a minimal definition of essential complexity, and proposes a method to mitigate the cost of non-essential complexity. It is supplementary to No Silver Bullet, not a refutation of it.

Not to mention what observations are you talking about? Because I'm not too aware of any tarpit inspired languages/development frameworks, let alone an actual FRP framework.
Do you happen to know if this is related to what was done with AlphaFold? It sounded like they moved from fixed values to a probabilistic model but I'm not sure if bond angles was the property they were measuring.
Spot on. Being there at they time, the OSI folks made much of the fact that because of their well defined layers, any of the higher levels could run over a connection-oriented or connectionless without change.

In theory. We never really found out for sure.
This is awesome! Love the idea and definitely solves for a need.
It is a kind of ironic situation. Modern states rights arguments tend to reside on the right, but that is also where anti-drug legalization sentiment resides as well. I'd be very interested to hear a debate where a right winger insists the fed should step in, and a left winger replies "Personally I support states rights". Just to see where it all goes.
good luck figuring out how to turn on your a/c without looking. I loved my old Ford Fusion because it was a touch interface but with raised and lowered plastic so you knew what you were pressing.

https://st.motortrend.com/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/2015-ford...

the newer fusions replaced controls with actual buttons which looks cheaper and doesn't make it any easier to figure out without looking. probably due to increased failures or simply cost savings
This is exactly what I want. Like many others, I have my own personal solution, which I used for the last 3 years. But it's far from "complete" and lacks many convenient features your app provides. Including a wonderful UI. The only thing I wish for is CSV imports because my bank is not supported. It nags on me that essentially my most private data is not in my hands anymore but this is so much more useful, I'm enjoying it already.
My experience is that many of the negative side effects of recreational drugs come from the culture in which they are taken, and the habits associated with them.

Taking ecstacy, for example, often involves staying up all night and dancing. I also feel terrible if I deprive myself of sleep without taking drugs, but I tend not to do that so often. So are the drugs dangerous, or are we just failing to construct heathy social norms around them?

Kill, destroyed and taking a large percentage are all not representative of what Firefox did to IE, so it all comes down to how small the "part of" can be, I guess. I'm not a native speaker, so it might be that I sized it incorrectly.
While I'm not at all familiar with the stack your tool is for and have no qualifications whatsoever to give solid advice on this:

My cynical impression is that the vague punchlines are meant to impress middle management, but if you want to win over developers, it's best to be straightforward. From my point of view (which is an amalgamation of Linux nerd, security & FOSS advocate and Windows gamer), I'm going to bounce right away from your webpage if it doesn't give me a clear description of what the product is about. The entire internet competes for my attention, so if your website contains stock photos of smiling office workers who are "working smarter", I'm going to press Ctrl + W quite fast. Having said that, I have no issue with "Leverage GraphQL + Serverless in data-driven SaaS apps". It's honest about what your product is about, and in my experience honesty correlates with other good properties of software.

If only it was that easy. You have to pay the special car tax (and VAT on top of it) to get Danish license plates. And you’re not allowed to have a car on foreign plates if you live in Denmark.

However, I moved away from Denmark before I bought this car (that was actually part of the reason I got it, a BMW costs less in Switzerland than a humble Skoda would in Denmark).
Sontag's journals are a fun read. They are like a twitter stream of her random thoughts, from the 60s and 70s. Weird, fevered, genius stuff.

e.g. She predicted the iPhone:

> A novel about the future. Machines. Each man has his own machine (memory bank, codified decision maker, etc.) You "play" the machine. Instant everything [1965]

Another:

> What if everything were the same, but no one talked.

It goes on... they're great..
Because the government of Denmark has presumably thought of this obvious loophole and found a way to close it. I assume if someone buys a car in Germany or Sweden and wants to register it at their address in Denmark, the Danish bureaucracy says "sure, we'll give you the registration papers as soon as you pay the 225% tax on the purchase price of your new car".

It's similar when you buy a car in Oregon (no sales tax) and want to register it in Washington (10% sales tax). If that was a way around paying the tax, every single person in the state would be doing it. The government has thought of this as well. And if you say "oh, I'm even smarter than that, I simply won't register the car in Washington", that gets you a felony conviction when you're caught.

It's almost as if governments can anticipate some obvious loopholes and close them.
Also COM ABI is really small, easily portable to other OSes. I’ve recently ported to Linux and implemented .NET core interop. The C++ runtime is just a couple pages of code.

>that suction cup will not hold in the event of an accident and now your phone is a projectile.

I guess?

What do I do about the legally mandated 2-4lbs steel backed rear-view mirror that's required to be hand-removable without the use of tools in most places?

To be clear, i'm not saying you're wrong -- i'm saying that making a car a safe crash space will drive a person mad. It's practically impossible.
I appreciate your first hand experience, but it's not at all what the actual demographics of Audi, BMW, or Mercedes-Benz are.

"Actual luxury vehicle owners" are just the mass affluent. There's really nothing special about them. The upper 20% household income demographics of just about any developed nation. Read the sales numbers for literally any of the German big-three. They're just what you expect. A4s sell more than any other Audi sedan; Q5s sell more than any other Audi SUV.

The typical owner isn't someone with a 7-series.

Makes for a nice story, though. And sure, the mass affluent frequently lease. They also often live beyond or max out their means.
Society itself seems like a driver of psychosis. In school, they rarely teach critical thinking nor warnings of cognitive biases. People then grow up in a rather unfair world and system. Next they get easily persuaded by a clever YouTube video or concept. Now their anger has a revelation and a fascination.
I think the safety features are the big thing. Most 2 year old cars now come with active braking and a slew of other safety features. And / year old cars are already massively cheaper than brand new. Keep buying and selling within the 2-5 year zone and you can have the best safety tech for a fraction of the new / lease price
u can always exchange it for USD/USDT or sth , probably easy with a script even
When I was 16 I started smoking weed almost everyday until I was 20, I took a break until I was 22, and now I live in a legal state and I enjoy a joint or two on the weekends. I haven't had any problems whatsoever. I work as a software engineer and I got all As throughout school.

I realize this might not be the case for everyone, but that has been my experience.
It's worth noting that this is even more true of 'hard' drugs than cannabis. There are a surprising number of fine upstanding citizens with a heroin addiction...

Yep. The car has a calendar app which can be configured to pop up on entry. Calendar sync is handled through the Tesla app on your phone, which also acts a share destination for locations (automatically entering the location in the nav system) and other such conveniences.

> At this time, 70% of the ad revenue is deposited into your in-situ wallet.

Brave needs to know when and which ad has been shown to the user, to deposit that ad's revenue right? That means whenever an ad is shown "locally", it still needs to contact Brave server with user's identity behind of some encryption. Brave then shows the proof of ads being presented to users to ad provider to get revenue.

Sure, the user's interests are studied locally (and inefficiently because it runs on user's computer), but the result feeds back to Brave. How does that improve privacy?

At some point, Brave may either leak the data accidentally or decide to sell the data, because the data, which capture each uniquely identifiable user's interests, is valuable.

Or am I misunderstanding something here?
Whenever I read a smalltowns article, the article assumes high density living is great or can be drastically improved, and usually bakes in some arguments about why low density suburbs are evil.

They seem to completely ignore the votes made by people's feet on something so important to most of those people.

I have experienced some of the costs and benefits of both city and rural lifestyles, in a variety of countries.

I dislike anyone trying to restrict that choice (even if it is for the good of X).

You are assuming that the driver's phone is the one connected. The typical use case is a couple, where either can drive. The first one to look up directions is the one who connects the phone. I do this all the time with my wife. Sometimes we have to disconnect one phone and connect the other so the passenger can continue using the phone without killing the map for the driver.
What is the difference between the envelope-based method and the categories in Lunch Money? It seems very similar to me.
Yeah, I have a nice holder. But beyond annoying to have to play audio from the phone’s speakers rather than the car’s sound system.

Also, CarPlay is feasible (and legal) to use while driving. Fiddling around with the comparatively tiny iPhone screen is both dangerous and annoying.
> More lines of code to do the same logic chains

this is typically untrue. the genesis of libraries like RxJS is encapsulating repeated code responsible for properly handling async resources/transformations. without them, you would either repeat similar code everywhere, or end-up writing your own version for the organization. you don't need to take my word for it though, try replicating some of the examples on the website (or on learnrxjs.io) to see this for yourself.

> Locked into a libraries way of doing logic chains

this is a valid concern, though the other side of this coin is not using anything like express, angular, react, etc as they all have the same effect. the design of such libraries should typically be pretty flexible to be more facilitating than restricting, and its always a bonus if they are smartly restricting (discouraging programmers from making mistakes and taking away cognitive load of making choices that can be mostly decided beforehand, etc). core concepts of RxJS for example are so basic that there are serious ECMA proposals to adopt them into the language itself (Observables), much like Promises before them (which were initially promoted by libraries that are still around).

> Steep learning curve for new team members

this is specifically true about libraries targeting reactive programming. the issue is not actually with the libraries but with the paradigm itself, as it requires a different mental model of the flow of the code. this is part of the reason CONNECTIVE exists to begin with, to offer an interface reflecting a more intuitive mental model of reactive flows compared to RxJS, though still it would be a different mental model compared to traditional synchronous programming.

this learning curve however is something that I personally believe is unavoidable in the long run. you already need to adopt it if you want to be competent at prominent frontend frameworks like React or Angular, the latter of which incorporates and utilizes RxJS extensively and the former borrows a lot of the concepts. we already had to go through such a curve with transition to NodeJS for backend, where before you would mostly write fully sync one-request at a time instance codes and compensate by paying extra for the hardware, but now-a-days that extra learning-curve is no longer considered a deterrent.
I would gladly take CarPlay in my Tesla over the current system. Slacker is fine but it's not great and I prefer my preferences over those that Tesla chooses. On top of that, I have my phone set to DnD while Driving and that would extend to CarPlay also so my messages wouldn't pop up or bother me.
So sounds like its Russian Roulette, some adolescents may not suffer many ill effects, and for others it will be really bad.

So probably better not to take that chance.
> The new study analyzed thousands of cannabis-triggered emergency room visits in the greater Denver area, and found that edibles induced a disproportionate number of pot-related medical crises. Edibles were also more likely than inhaled pot to cause severe intoxication, acute psychiatric symptoms in people with no history of psychiatric illness and cardiovascular problems.

> He also noted that the only deaths in Colorado that have been definitively attributed to cannabis involved edibles, and those deaths were surprisingly violent. In all three incidents, including a murder and a suicide in 2014 and another suicide in 2015, the pot users exhibited extremely erratic behavior after consuming edibles, according to news reports and trial testimony.

An API gateway can mean API Management, Cluster ingress, an API Gateway pattern, or a Service mesh.

API Management will still be needed, even with a service mesh. And I don’t think the article author thinks they will be replaced.
And that’s after they reduced it recently. Before that, it was 180% on the whole value of the car, plus 25% VAT on top.

Welcome to the world of a contractor.
I'm currently implementing a notification system for our network of sites. Aside from the HTTP microservice, my implementation is about the same. Which isn't much of a surprise - I expect this is a fairly common way of doing it.

With that said, I was surprised to learn how complicated it can be to send notifications cross platform. Fortunately we're targeting the web, so I really only have to worry about two push provider implementations: APNs and VAPID. I really hope Apple agrees to implement VAPID sooner than later so developers can stop wasting their time.

We have used OneSignal in the past, but there's something so satisfying about delivering the notification yourself. Also, a word of caution for people new to push notifications: we discovered early on that sending a million push notifications all at once is a really good way of crashing your site, as they have a surprisingly high click through rate in the first minute of sending!
Demanding that people give the federal disclaimer every time they discuss the matter is tedious and pointless (since of course you already know it...)

Whenever power in Washington changes from one party to the other, the other party rediscovers the importance of states' rights.
While that is true it is printing money for distributive purposes that I'm more worried about. Spending a few billion on bombs to blow up houses on other continents, or to prop up the stock of oil companies for example won't really move the inflation needle in regards to consumer goods as much as printing it to throw it out of a helicopter would in my estimation.
It was working, HN probably killed the site.
