I get what you're saying and I've been there, done that (still there, tbh). But I think there is a balance to strike here: sometimes it is worth spending some time on choosing a better tool/architecture/library because it can save you time/effort/money/mental stability (yes) down the road. As in most endeavors, you've gotta strike a right balance

Rewriting a side-project in a new language because it will be faster, more organized, more elegant, etc...

I've done that as well, although it wasn't a rewrite per se. It was a great decision and I am glad I made the leap, even though conventional wisdom is to stick with what you know..
Reasonable point. Being ignorant of the details I gave Netflix the most generous benefit of doubt. The vast majority of people aren’t monsters and I doubt they would have done this intentionally.
Maybe someone can enlighten me because I'm failing to see the relevance of SystemD here.

So the idea is, instead of having a central firewall managing all the host rules, each service define it's own firewall policy ? How do I override a policy ?

I maybe missing something but somehow I'm not sure it's the right place to do this.

I'll end up joining the camp of SystemD does too much and breaks a lot of POSIX semantics making Linux systems hard to debug.

Lately it's been getting more and more in my way. Things that I have problems with lately, DNS, cgroup and namespace. Every time I've lost a considerable amount of time because of poorly documented and mostly unexpected SystemD behavior.
Color me annoyed.

Take a look at the cheapest storage option. It's something like $20/year 100GB. I signed up when my storage needs exceeded about 10GB. Your mileage may vary.
I think it's still way more signal-to-noise than most websites and most subreddits. You just have to have an idea of which comment sections are worth skimming, which are worth skipping, and which are worth analyzing or contributing to.

* using public transport / not having drivers license: I got a driver's license only in my mid 30s and I really regret not doing it earlier. So many beautiful days wasted at home, lost touch with friends etc because getting out of town was too much trouble.

* related to that: staying at home too often instead of finding a SO. While I am very happy today, sometimes I wish I'd have found my wife and I had my children earlier. And maybe more children.

* procrastinating and eventually giving up on too many side projects. I have a history of starting awesome side projects and not finishing them for whatever reason, starting as a teenager. If I had finished even one of them, I may be able to live without a day job.
I kinda get the virtual card thing - it's pretty hard to get a credit card.

Assuming you can create infinite virtual numbers you could, theoretically (and I appreciate it's probably not the case here as the poster has account history), switch/cloak/whatever a whole bunch of high converting against policy stuff until the account is banned, at which point you set up a new ad account, new virtual number and start again. Rinse and repeat.

Seems a simpler method to tackle that by just banning virtual cards with the assumption "if you have nothing to hide you'll use a fixed number".
This is scary and dumb with so many false positives.

Every single instance the police were called, FBI notified, many red flags on social media yet everyone screams that THERE IS NO WAY TO STOP them. People/Police/Govt ignoring the data, while trying to push for gun control, gun confiscation etc. How about we enforce existing laws??? Murder is against the law, yet it still happens everyday. It's hard to figure out the root cause, but blaming an object is easier than trying to solve the bigger picture with mental health, social media etc. We dont blame cars when people are killed in an accident, we blame the driver.

Well, the GNU project itself, and its founder (RMS), who is by any standard a strict follower of that philosophy, thinks that Free Software should be sold - and for as much as one can charge [1]. I'd say that the two are not really on the same path; if anything, they work against each other.

Sync with my mobile and all the other devices (4 other computers) is one reason why I use Firefox. It's because it's the only browser, as far as I know, which lets me run my own sync server and offers a open source implementation of it.

Ask HN: How to Make Money from Web Scraping?
What are some ways to make money from web scraping?

Few options that I can think of, are:

1. Scrape and sell data

2. Scrape public data and publish as a website. Make money with ads / subscriptions

3. Build price comparison websites

4. Offer web scraping services.

Any real life examples / use-cases out there?

You must not anything. Although doing is limited with laws and situations, feeling is not - you are absolutely free to feel or not to feel whatever you want. Hard situations may make it difficult to feel pleasant things but it's all about training (in mindfulness) and intention.

Strictly speaking Rust doesn't prevent memory leaks. You can easily create cycles in reference counted types, or `std::mem::forget` something. No use of unsafe required either.

That said as long as you don't build graphs with reference counted types it's hard to leak memory by accident.
Feross was looking at some sort of profit sharing of the console ad revenue across multiple projects. The "opinionated eslint config" here just had the widest install base to get feedback quickly on the idea. It certainly got feedback quickly.
Really, sometimes people forget (and I'm guilty as charged) they live in a society with laws and legal recourses.

It's not as simple as "Google can cut you off no questions asked whenever they feel like it"
Well, depending on the employee, it would make sense. Apple funded a large part of clang/llvm, which many assume was specifically to avoid a GPL compiler. You'd hate to accidentally pollute a BSD(-ish) project with GPL code, if your primary purpose for funding the project is to avoid GPL code. Not that anyone would purposefully do such a thing, but it would be important for Apple to even avoid the appearance of anything like that.
> What damages can you prove?

Well, that really depends on the case and jurisdiction, I can't answer that for you. Really, the key part is to force Google to actually provide reasoning for their actions, as they eventually did in the case I edited in links for.
World: The good parts
deliver value to a market willing to pay for it.

most technologists including ML engineers are more interested in how the latest, greatest kernel provides a 0.04 higher F score on some academic facial recognition task than they are understanding problem spaces, understanding what problem spaces would benefit from "ML" (read: data + statistics), then providing a solution that people value enough in order to pay for (this includes sales, marketing, etc.).

or just work for a FAANG, probably easier and over time a wiser investment
So much good advice there. I have noticed that (esp. when I'm dining alone at home) I can get into the rut where a) I didn't go to the store and then b) order takeout creates an a->b->a vicious circle.

Developing a habit of going to the store (even if you don't feel like it) and getting some of those less-perishable items so you have endgame options is key.

One thing I've found helps is to get really comfortable cooking. First I plan a bit getting a recipe (this is best done @work or on the way back. I stop over at a store. Finally, at home, I pour a small glass of wine/open a beer, turn on music or a podcast (or netflix) and walk through my recipe.

This clearly takes time investment, so it's important to go through the habit so you can 1) be comfortable with it and 2) optimize it for you. Rewarding myself with desirable activities as part of the meal-prep is great. Taking pix and sharing what I made is also fun (even if it's bad - can be a good laugh).
He's a glorified domain squatter trying to figure out how to monetize it
Maybe I need to elaborate. The RISC-V foundation is currently working to strictly define both strong and weak cache coherency modes, and a separate formal verification group is working to define and validate a formal model of cache coherency behavior for the RISC-V ISA. There have been numerous updates on this project at the past couple of RISC-V workshops. When this is all done, ensuring a given implementation is bug-free with respect to cache coherency will be a mechanical process (at least, that is the goal).
I'm a Python sycophant, but I totally agree. Rails does the Rails idea a lot better than Django does. However, for everything else, I prefer Python's libraries and ecosystem. (Flask over Sinatra, for example, even though Sinatra does "feel elegant" to use.)
I usually sketch out what I'm going to write with comments and/or function names. It gives me the sort of 'blocks' of how data is going to flow, where responsibility is divided, etc. Then I go back in and fill the details of the block. Five or six comments becomes five or six chunks of code.

I don't usually try to maintain an entire state in my head, but I do try to make sure each of those blocks is something that I can reason about and hold the entire state of. If I'm finding it hard to figure out what each block does with data, I subdivide and write two comments.

For example, I might write something like:

// Iterate over every transform and do the matrix math

and realize that there's too much for me to hold mentally, so I'll do this:

// Iterate over every transform

// Invert each matrix

// Get the position vector

// Multiply by the character's scalar

... etc.

After that all scans, then I'll start writing the actual code.
> What they don't tell you right away is that there's no end to the stuff

Is there an end to any field worth studying? I would argue the allure of studying such fields lies in the endless horizons. The possibilities of expanding human knowledge by pushing beyond what is known.
I don't think I'd say it is, no, because Hubbard wasn't hired to work on a closed-source fork of FreeBSD at Apple but rather as an engineering manager. AFAIK, Apple did not make any closed forks of major BSD-related work.

Depends on how you read it. What you quote is a nonrigorous statement of the minority rule. Given that he is writing pop science I think some laxity is permissible.

The conventional wisdom is that normally the preferences of the majority prevail. Maybe it’s obvious to others, but I never thought about the minority rule explicitly before reading Taleb. And the rule has practical applications for privacy/climate activists, so I think it’s important not to dismiss it offhandedly.
I agree. Perhaps someone might use some kind of drug or whatever to erase my memory about the choice I've made to love that particular person no matter what.

My advice to you is that stoicism help with thinks about these kinds of things. But your focus on the opposite sex sounds really unhealthy. Think I would definitely recommend you to get specific/professional help with that.

You need to deal with the issues you have, you cannot simply wish them gone. If you don’t deal with it, you will definitely carry it with you way longer then you should. It will prohibit you getting into meaningful relationships with others.

Part of mindfulness and stoicism is also accepting that your mental model doesn’t contain the whole truth of the universe, and to accept there are certain areas that you could be wrong.

Stay strong, and it’s good to read that you are working on yourself and learning.
This! I'm always thinking of 'does it scale'. and How perfect does it scale, can I do better? I'm a perfectionist so it's hard to commit to a side project because of the tech stack conundrum... I think I'm about to nail down my perfect stack though... Quasar Framework + a custom postgres/hasura backend w/ koa+knex+passport for auth and migrations. Hasura provides full api via graphql. Migrations take care of 90% of the api code needed, so I can then focus on just migrations and frontend.

Depends on your point of view. For 50 years in vital cities, the model has been that most people who aren't rich boogey out of the city when their entertainment needs evolve away from nightlife. Unless you are a 9-5 corporate or .gov type, which is increasingly less common, suburbia is more convenient for many purposes once you have the ability to support a car.

Being chained to public transit corridors and schedules is very difficult for workers with marginal means.

I live in the city and love it. Fortunately I bought my home earlier -- today it would be dumb. Living in the city is great, except when school lotteries mean that your kids have to go to school 45 minutes away from your home, because of a court order from 1970, and you end up paying for private school. My city has to fund a large police department and fire department, so my city taxes are 30% higher than a suburb. The city school district has to provide much more special ed and social services, so those taxes are 40% higher.

Good news is that living for my family is cheap and convenient. But I can't improve my home, because the value won't go up due the taxes. If I had invested about 30% more in 2002, my housing investment would be about 150% more valuable today.
I try to batch cook 1-2 large meals that everyone in the family likes. This lessens the likely hood that food would be wasted.

I have also made it a habit of freezing half the meet or seafood when I buy in larger quantities. It is good to label when you freeze something as there is still a shelf life.

I remember several years back there was a post on HN about a food expiration database that showed true dates food was good until. Many times the sell by date is not the same as the good until date.

That doesn't surprise me. The GPL, especially v3 and AGPL, are specific weird cases at a lot of companies -- sometimes because they want the freedom to close of forks, but often because they're convinced the GPL/AGPL could "poison" their work and force them to open previously closed source. (This turned out to be a problem for us at RethinkDB, which was AGPL-licensed.)
Isn't that true of nearly all Apple hardware products now?
I try to keep as much in my head as possible.

Stuff in my head is always easy to change, and I find I need to change CONSTANTLY.

I create what I term a "napkin sketch," and try not to write down too much, afterwards.

Documentation is a HEAVY "concrete galosh."

That said, it's often imperative to write stuff down; especially in a team. It's just that every single thing you write down becomes tech debt.

I talk about that here: https://medium.com/@ChrisMarshallNY/concrete-galoshes-a5798a...
> The reason for the amendment is such that when someone or someones come along and attempt to abridge your rights you can kill them with the killing machine.

No, the reason for the amendment was the perception (possibly true) that reliance on citizens militias for internal and external security was an essential guarantee of liberty, as otherwise the government would have no choice but to rely on professional forces (army/police) that would become culturally distinct from the general population and become oppressive either on their own or on behalf of the government which would become more attached to it's security services through whuhbit applied force, and which could withhold that ability or use it in ways the political authority did not approve of unsatisfied, than the general public. Combined with the perception (false, as it turned out) that the only thing needed to protect this model was to assure that the government's understandable desire to regulate weaponry didn't make it impractical to rely on militias of the citizenry for this purpose.

The idea was that it would be impossible to oppress the general public if the government had to call up the general public to do the oppressing, whereas if there was a distinct warrior tribe whose whole profession was applying force as ordered by higher authority, the government would be much more able and inclined to be oppressive.

Unfortunately, even those who hold themselves out as defenders of the second amendment have forgotten it's purpose.
Perfectly legit. Some people may be just impossible to live or do anything with for you so you might leave them for their own good as both of you would just struggle together. There are people and places which are much more joy to love remotely :-)

You say "elected to accept" but I'd like to correct you - they designed their company that way by choice and they continue knowing at worst, one day, one of their lawyers will attend court and be told what new things are required to be compliant. Then, at worst, their lawyers will haggle over the details. Then they will change things within that one jurisdiction.
Thanks for the excellent and detailed reply! Are there any papers you recommend im particular? One of the harder parts of getting into a new domain of science is that it's hard to tell the good/important papers from the others.
staying at home too often instead of finding a SO

I am still struggling with that. I am working from home and don't go out too often. I am quite an introverted person, plus not big on dating apps, since they're mostly waste of time :')

It's absolutely fucking mind-boggling how these large, impenetrable silicon valley companies (mainly google here) like to hide behind their "algorithms".

"Oh, sorry your main method of making money was terminated, we won't tell you why or how we came to that conclusion - must have been the algorithm, sorry!"

What's that old saying - "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity"?
I'm starting to think that these massive companies aren't stupid and that they're actually designing their algorithms behind this and using it as a scapegoat to push their own agenda.
It was my understanding that such redundancy for automation purposes did not even exist, and that despite having 2 AoA sensors only one was selected before a flight, with the computer switching the one to be used between each flight.

Also Southwest certainly did not have all of the indicators at first, because they added some: https://theaircurrent.com/aviation-safety/southwest-airlines...
(note that pretty much nobody used that kind of indicator before, so I don't say that to put blame on Southwest)

It was also my understanding that some alarms including the AoA disagree were optional and for a fee even though probably activated by only needing to switch a bit somewhere in the software. So if Southwest had AoA disagree from the beginning (I don't know), well that's cool, but my interpretation is more like: that's not cool that some other airlines did not have it because of the dubious commercial practices of Boeing.
I agree, gun familiarity training and regular usage would also, I believe, push guns into being more of a tool. It'd also be good for more social interaction to go along with gun ownership so that there is more of an inherent social web around gun users - most folks with guns are absolutely normal folks with no issues... interacting with others would indeed help flagging people who may be a danger and help them before something terrible happens.
