Cloudflare, as a service, has it all.

Nice UX, fast, free. Nice domain service if you transfer to them. Fast DNS management. DOS/bot mitigation. Caching. Quick SSL, and affordable upgrade options. 2FA via TOTP.

With all the networking/domain stuff momentum build, it would be nice to be able to spin up servers for apps/db.

Main language at cloudflare is golang? Rust? Any python over there?

Request: Allow changing the super administrator for cloudflare account more easily. At least for early-stage accounts.

Use CommonCrawl https://commoncrawl.org/

Then, after you can use that corpus and provide useful results and have people coming to your search site, then you can have a discussion with CloudFlare that you will be creating your own crawler.
Don't be baffled! No one thinks this. Everyone has seen a variation of this comment a million times by now, and everyone knows it, but companies will never be able to admit it. It's all about putting stress on the lie. If a corp won't solve its issues and employees quit because of it, "well duh of course they're gonna protect stakeholders' interest" isn't really helpful or new.
I don't know about Eto.Forms but from what I have tried of Avalonia I'd say It could only be used for toy projects: there is almost no documentation, there are missing features like app icons, system tray, etc. Maybe in a few years It might be good, but I'd stay away from .net if the purpose is to have a cross platform GUI app
This is not a well written or useful article.

First it says debt as a percentage of GDP used to be higher so it should have been scarier. Then it says current interest rates are low but doesn't give anywhere near the weight to that statement they should.

Even in the article they state 8% interest was normal 30 years ago but then go on to say sustained 8% interest going forward is crazy talk. WHY? Why wouldn't interest rates go up? They certainly can't go much lower...

If they did go up our debt would take a much higher percentage of the budget than the 18% of the 80's and 90s. This is a very real problem.
ah yes thanks, will add shortly
SO used to have non-evil ads and a lot of people who do use blockers whitelisted them on that basis. No more, I guess.
Diet doesn't cure chronic pain. You obviously had some condition that wasn't chronic pain, where pain was a symptom of that disease.
Having a first child can be an incredibly stressful and confusing time. I think the best preparation is to have a solid support network ready to support you and your family while you adjust to your new life.

In my city, there is a nonprofit that connects groups of parents of newborns together so they can process the crazy stuff that's happening in their lives. I would heartily recommend finding this kind of support to any new parent. https://www.peps.org/

So if you're a small business that wants to build the next Google, you can't? Because obviously, your User Agent won't be well known when you start.
My mother was a lawyer and did a lot of sexual harassment / workplace descriminiation work. Obviously that doesn't make me a lawyer or anything close to one, but she would have advised going to HR as soon as possible (I even asked just now to be sure.) It's important to document in/action and/or a pattern of abuse on the company's part. You can (and should) certainly document these things on your own, but if you never go to HR the company will have an avenue of escape open ("s/he never told us, this is a rogue manager, we had no idea", etc.)

BTW, you sue your company and you're gone either way.
Depends on the school, of course.
The extra problem here is: can the alternative forms of economy survive in competition with capitalism? If not, then they're unfortunately a non-starter.

(It's like with what is said about early humans discovering agriculture. Settling down and growing crops led to worse health and less happy life than hunter-gathering, but still gave people competitive advantage over the societies that did not make the transition.)
How do bots make the market more efficient?
Bad conclusion. Web browsers are written to be fingerprintable. They are deliberately anti-user. Expecting web pages to "just not" is pointless. The solution is to fix the browser.

For now the script runs on a computer and transmits the files to the device using wifi or a cable but there isn't really a reason why it can't run on the device. I do plan on making something like that work on the device eventually.

I'm pretty sure it's a Yocto based Linux image based on the toolchain they distribute.
Something that I wish was made clear to me beforehand is that there is a huge variance in children, even between siblings.

This means that what works well for some kids will fail terribly for others. Half of parenting is trying out a bunch of different things to find out what works well for your kids, and is also acceptable for you. This variance is also a big reason why there is no "one true way" of raising kids, and why you shouldn't take parenting authorities too seriously.

It's also helpful to know when comparing yourself and your kids to other couples with kids. The worst is parents of a single kid with an easy disposition. They can sometimes be judgy and wonder why you don't just do what they did, because clearly they are amazing parents, and you are failing hard.
A car could look fast, but be slow, or have latent problems, software on the car's computer could be fooling emissions tests... Looking at a tree tells you nothing about photosynthesis, tree pheromones, deep relationships with symbiotic insects or bacteria...

You can't understand very much at all just based on how things look. That holds for humans and inhumans alike.
Congratulations Nim team! :D

I've had Nim installed on my laptop for a long time and I've always enjoyed tinkering around with it over the years. Maybe now it's time to find a bigger project to try it out on.

This is a tiny thing, but just to highlight something unique I like about Nim, using `func` to declare pure functions (and `proc` for others) has been a small, but really nice quality of life improvement. It's something I've been wanting in other languages since Nim added it.

It seems like the 2010s have been a pretty amazing time for new programming languages. The ones that I can think of that I've at least tried are Rust, Go, Nim, Crystal, Zig, Pony, Fennel, Janet, and Carp (I know, some of these are pre-2010, but I think they've all either 1.0'd or had a first public release post-2010), and every single one has made me really excited about some aspect of it. I hope this experimentation continues into the 2020s!
Waste their time with a very slow server. Like OpenBSD’s spamd. Think one letter per second for text based protocols.
Ask HN: Interesting Ideas for Data Crawling?
There are many publicly available data sets on the Internet. But as someone who's interested in crawling data, I was wondering if you know of any interesting data which hasn't been crawled yet?
Strongly agreed. GM proponents try to confuse the issue with what's natural vs unnatural, that kind of thing, but for me (and you) it's never about that; GM is a tool, like a knife, neither got nor bad but for how you wield it. Monsanto want it as a form of IP and lockin.

But watch shills try to divert you from that.

You can go to my ISP with a warrant and ask for their records. Which means that interestingly an IP address is only PII if the entity that holds it can lawfully request that information.

Using that logic, a browser fingerprint would also be PII if the ad network can use it to determine who you are, or presumably if they can link it to other PII.

All nations spend substantial sums of money on defense. If you don't need to spend n% of your GDP on defense (because someone else is paying for it) that is money in the pocket.
There's a great series of books called 'What To Expect' ... When Expecting, The First Year, etc. They are an awesome resource.

Other than that I wouldn't over think or analyze preparation too much. You'll be surprised how much instinct kicks in and you just know what needs to be done. Just do it!

If you have multiple kids, they'll all be different and it can take some time to figure out what works and doesn't with each one.

It's a fun journey. I'll never forget the first night home with our first born. It was just us and her and it was quite a shock to the system. But you learn quick!
Really the bias isn't the true problem here so much as the lack of epistemology in how it is being used. By definition associations work by blind correlations - expecting anything other than stereotyping is a foolish misuse of the tool. It will be wrong for outliers because it tries to get it right for most cases regardless of cause - like skin cancer detectors who saw rulers as a sign of cancer because most of the reference images of cancer had a ruler in them.
The Fighting Jesus would mow your Jesus down with an AR. So spoke Bob Dobbs.
I don't read their statements the same way you do. The way they come across to me is that there needs to be a discussion of risk grounded in the understanding that in many (most?) domains, zero risk is unattainable.

It's like the idea of the FDA setting limits to the amount of insect contaminates allowed in food. At first, it seems disturbing until you realize that if they put a zero tolerance policy in place, there would be near-endless grounds to sue every food manufacturer out of business.

In High School, I recall that I built a random maze generator in TI-BASIC, added a really basic movable sprite, and slowly added some very simple/dumb RPG mechanics to push it towards becoming a terrible roguelike.

(One of those lost HS projects it would be fun to revisit but the code was lost when the calculator itself suffered a factory resetting memory/power glitch due to a static electricity discharge event in some College move or another.)
> I really wish people would start viewing Racism as a willingness to let that primitive part of the mind be in command, rather than a binary attribute you either have or don't.

This. Some Childhood development studies have born out that children preferentially treat their own 'ingroup' preferentially over those of an 'outgroup' [1]. This is before they really are "impressionable" as I understand it, so it shows something of an inbuilt mechanism. Though they made this distinction:

“Racism connotes hostility and that’s not what we studied. What the study does show is that babies use basic distinctions, including race, to start to cleave the world apart by groups of what they are and aren’t a part of.” [2]

I would be interested to see the latency averaged over all their requests, not just a few test runs from Iceland. Surely for many of their customers Lambda would be faster than wherever the closest EC2 instance happens to be running.

My personal default is to control as much of my infrastructure myself as possible, but at a certain point the edge model can have some huge benefits. Same reason I use a CDN even though it introduces another point of failure.
There’s nothing that can prepare you. Just take a deep breath, enjoy it, and don’t overprepare.

One piece of advice though: ask for help. Don’t be shy. Western culture prizes independence. This is not a time for independence. Ask the grandparents to help even if they don’t offer it. Pay for babysitting. Get lots of help. It takes a village is absolutely true!

(Oh and it’s absolutely ok to ask for help just so you can have fun)
Not sure what "legitimate" means here? Legal? Running aggressive web crawlers is in many instances against the rules for consumer cloud servers. For example, AWS requires that you obey robots.txt if you run a crawler there. https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/repor...

In my experience a lot of bots seem to be running on hacked servers or through hacked/insecure proxies. I'd imagine tracking down the owner or someone upstream of those boxes could be effective in taking them offline.
StackExchange attempts to unilaterally relicense user contributions
Who says OP's crawler doesn't respect robots.txt?

Can't become a well-known UA if your shutdown before you can make a name for yourself. And a Google IP block doesn't mean legitimate.

I'm not trying to say that Google is bad, but why can't OP's crawler be legitimate?
I wonder how many individual variations on this specific functionality have existed or currently exist on TI calculators in the wild. It's common enough that I see it mentioned every time TI calculators are brought up.

When I got my TI-85 (one of the earliest ones), I was one of two kids (the other kid had some $500 HP monstrosity) who had a full-on graphing calculator so "clearing the memory" wasn't even on the teachers' radar. I remember my calculus teacher being impressed that I could simply enter the terms of a binomial equation and it would just spit the answers out. A few years later, TI-83s were simply the required calculator for those classes.
I imagine that is longer than the 3-hour podcast
Yeah. Never underestimate domain expertise either. They love to deal with someone who's "smarter" but who lacks that knowledge.

It's weird that HR has to be such an adversarial entity though. One might naively expect them to provide some kind of useful utility beyond protecting the company, even if that's their primary purpose... In my only rather mundane interaction with them, not as a victim or anything, at the suggestion of the office manager I tested the waters with a complaint about people bringing their kids into the office and letting them roam. I still recollect a surreal feeling from the HR rep telling me how they liked how carefully and precisely worded my email was -- it felt like a sign of them telling me they know that I know not to trust them and that my distrust is justified since without such careful wording it'd be trivial to paint me as a parent- or child-hating monster, or whatever, who is the real problem. I got more than I expected out of the exchange (a reminder was sent out to the office that it's against the rules -- not that it stopped anyone the following summer) but the experience alone from satisfying my curiosity on whether HR could be useful with even this one minor annoyance was worth the risk (real or imagined) of backfire.
The law schools and bar exams have now settled on software that reboots a computer into a limited environment just for testing, where the administrators get to configure what kinds of features like copy and paste or spell-check are available (and of course, no stored memory from beforehand, or web access).

The DC bar had just moved from typewriters (with the same "lines of memory" restriction you mentioned) to computers for its essay portions when I took the exam only a handful of years ago.
Humans almost certainly are vulnerable to contagious cancer (there are a few known in other species: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clonally_transmissible_cancer) . We just haven't acquired/discovered any yet.
By moving the goods to those willing to pay more for them, which increases consumer surplus, which means the market is more efficient. It's fairly basic economics.
Well, that sounds a bit like "security by obscurity". That ain't good.
You'd need a heck of an umbrella to block all that sunlight. Seriously, cooling it down via solar blockage is about the only way you could ever make Venus livable. Followed by massive removal of CO2 on the now-icy surface.

Mars has the advantage that it's easy to make something hot- just use energy- while making something colder is more complicated. Also- here me out here- basketball on Mars will be insane. Venus still has, what, 80% of earth's gravity? Boring.
Even most of the assembly is overseas now. Eventually Asian companies are going to just market their own brands instead of letting Dell be a supply chain manager and marketer.

A port of entry is a place where one may lawfully enter a country. There is no law carving-out an exception to lawful entry for people who plan to eventually travel to a lawful port of entry.
Agreed. However, with reviews in general (and restaurant reviews especially), I have discovered that my experiences and the experiences of reviewers (both good and bad) are simply not well correlated. It wasn't always this way -- a decade or so ago, reviews had value to me. But something has changed.

I've eaten at places that appeared good if you read the reviews, but turned out to be horrible, and I've eaten at places that had terrible reviews but turned out to be fantastic.

If you get value from reviews, though, that's great!
What if for whatever reason the innovation is on the crawler itself
Maybe a better question is who would benefit from Juul failing?

I'm not sure who. I don't think it's big tobacco. They need vaping to addict the next generation. Maybe vaping spend is taking away from another vice.

"1) Reasons why you are getting down voted. A comment talking about being down voted (which is amusing considering your username)."

nah dude you can downvote me a million times. I'm just asking politely why I'm and other people I see just stating unpopular opinions are being flagged, which is a more serious measure I hoped would be reserved for things a bit less subjective than 'immaturity'. But if it isn't nbd, I just hope to clarify things so everybody knows from now on. I mean its not like theres clear completely nonvague objective rules and spelled out consequences carved in stone in the easiest to find places.

"This is enough to get a down vote in my book. 2) An immature post. There are numerous signs, including the LOL at the end, that it's immature. 3) Fairly insulting to people who come here. 4)"

I've never personally insulted anyone here....as far as I remember. If you mean indirectly than well thats so subjective everybody here indirectly insults someone all the time.

"Your original comment is constantly begging the question. The reality is, you aren't interested in a discussion."

Not true, I am happy to engage anyone who wants to debate me. Like now, my history is open book for you to freely browse, show me something in it clearly refutes this, it actually stands as a clear testament to the opposite. If I am wrong on the hard facts I will acquiese. If you think its pointless well isn't all/most discussion on threads like these pointless?

" 5) "I'm just stating an unpopular opinion without any trolling, spam, or personal attacks" No, you aren't "just stating an unpopular opinion" if this keeps happening to you. If this happens to you constantly, it's because you are wrong. Your opinion of your comments is wrong for the community."

speaking of dismissing arguments.

You more or less don't. Breathe deep, seek peace, and roll with the punches.

Especially in the early months:

- prioritize sleep.

- use your damn words with your partner.

- try real hard not to get angry. more than normal, act on the assumption that the other party isn't hostile, just at least as tired as you are. Everyone's going to be on edge; be gentle.

- remember that you more or less get a new kid every 48 hours. that sleeping trick that worked on monday won't work on wednesday _and this is not your fault this is a good sign of progress!_ After 6-8 months, you merely get a new kid every week! then every month...
Read "What to Expect When You're Expecting", looked around at the baby store, maybe did a little research if I saw something interesting, talked to other new parents, talked to the OB, selected a pediatrician prior to the due date, went to a class recommended by the OB where they teach you how to swaddle and do some other basic tasks. It's pretty easy. You get ready really quickly because you don't have a choice. Don't forget people used to do this in caves and humanity made it this far so don't stress it. Enjoy this time because it's fun and it's over with way too fast.
Loved that book! I highly recommend it.

That said, nothing will prepare you for the reality. It’s like learning to swim in a lap pool, then getting dropped into the ocean in the middle of a storm.

Just learn as much as you can, talk to as many people as you can, and prepare yourself for the fact that you will not be prepared.

All good! Other than that, there’s nothing like a child saying “I love you too.” So, it’s all worth it once you get to it.

Congrats!
I don't get why people play devil's advocate in defense of scummy behavior by tech companies.

"Scummy behavior" is dumping poison in rivers or working people 90 hours a week. Normal competition is large companies putting smaller companies out of business through greater leverage. I don't care about a random small company getting rewarded for its random innovations. Why should I? The smaller company would probably crush an even small company given the opportunity. Large companies can sometimes offer more health benefits and such and smaller companies work 90 hour weeks more often.

If you want a different social system or something, good for you. If we're talking the present system, weeping for the operations of the market is waste of time. Regulate actual bad behavior, sure. But otherwise, save all regulatory effort, I'd suggest.
