Trio's idea of enforcing structured concurrency is very nice.

No, but with it I can still hear the highway. I'm sure it's certainly not as bad as it is without it, and I'm thankful it's there, but it's still audible. It sounds like it's maybe 2 or 3 blocks away vs right in your back yard.

I'm fairly optimistic that easier tax filing is just a matter of time. Several of the Democratic frontrunners have said they support it. I'm not sure what the Republican stance is but I doubt they would be against it either.
The Libre.

It is somewhat costly ($38 every 2 weeks) but for me it's worth it.
Have used AdSense on latextemplates.com for 7 years. I wouldn't call it "good money" but it's a welcome addition to my income. Haven't noticed any drop the last several months, but 4 years or so ago there was a huge drop when they updated their algorithm.

I dislike Google and would love to move to something else, but everything I've tried is so much worse so I've just been stuck with it. Any suggestions?
Tumult Software makes Hype

They are tracking things anonymously at least in some places, judging by what I've read in the linked Gitlab issue tracker threads. The debacle started with someone higher up requesting to start recording user ID with that data, in order for the "growth team" to be able to do "experiments".
I see [flagged][dead] next to the comment. How do you flag spam posts? Do you need a certain amount of karma, karma/comment, or does one need to have their account mod-blessed?
Wifi direct is becoming popular and makes this kind of thing possible. I've also seen hardware products for similar like the gotenna. You could have a party of people across a relatively large area (say a ski resort, trail network, or neighborhood) and have decent async connectivity for SMS like use between them.

Software products like Lifenet, Firechat, Bridgefy, and similar generally use wifi-direct or bluetooth to communicate and do support store and forward.

On the amateur radio side js8call does allow forwarding through 3rd parties and store and forward.

Granted the financial model for these kind of things is tricky, but they do seem to be getting more popular. But sure I don't expect any cell provider to help, and was pleasantly pleased when p2p/direct connections was added to android.

I was pretty interested in gotenna and wanted to add a DHT and internet gateway so that messages would be delivered globally if anyone in your mesh had an internet connection. They rejected my idea 8-(.
I used to make $20-30k monthly with flash video games. Saw a click at $150 one day! (Before 2008 crisis!)
In embedded, I did a _lot_ of development work _on_ the physical target hardware via SSH. It wasn't every product, but it was most. It wasn't from the beginning, but rather there was always some point in development time where the feedback loop would tighten up dramatically if the work was being done on a device on the bench.
Still, it's worth something that they reversed course and apologized, where so many companies wouldn't do either.
VP Engineering / Head of Software is probably a good next step - some orgs have different paths but I would say seeing as you are focusing more on the actual engineering & product processes rather than tech strategy this is a senior management / exec role to move up to!
Very impressive research. Just scared what invasive thing Facebook will use it for.

I hope the researchers are advocating for its ethical use.
This is some kind of service? If you are talking about selling my own ad space, then it's not possible. I run such a website, that people come, they look around for few minutes, download image and never return.

I'd like to suggest visiting at least one 'certified rolfer' to have a look at ya. They can be super heroes for the right conditions.

I have taken people around chiros, acupuncturists, and many other therapists. A recent experience had a close friend find some relief with a particular chiropractor - but we found the symptoms returned, and more treatments were suggested, with a 'long term goal of complete relief in 9 months or so' - then we tried orthopedic people and surgeons,
then found way to a doc that was a chiropractor, but had several add on things, one being 'spinal decompression therapy' - the best thing about that guy / place is that he knew right away a couple of issues by looking at ya, pointed out things others missed by looking at an x-ray, and had a very specific 'we can fix 99% of this pain and problem with these things we do here in X amount of weeks' -

I would also seek a well experienced acupuncturist.

Others have pointed out great things to explore like emotional and body connected issues that are under-diagnosed in my experience as well.

For stubborn muscle like issues I have always been grateful of the additional information that a great acupuncture person and rolfing therapy person can provide.

I have found some doctors to be great, but mostly surgeons that like to cut when you have good insurance and chiropractors that like to have you on a weekly plan that lasts for months, they often have me looking for other opinions for true relief.

For some the right massages combined with doing the right exercises is all that's needed.

Be wary of any chiro people that say they know rolfing and more - sure they might 'know it', but only people certified with the Ida Rolf institute really know it and do it so well they can start fixing you session one after looking at your posture, imho, ymmv.

If you are in or visiting Nashville I can suggest some specific people to see that I have found to trust.

I am not a doctor / lawyer, not medical advice, verify with doctors, have not seen you, yada yada. Hoping you find lasting relief though!
Yes, a variety of websites. Won't list them here though.
The 'new kind of disaster' is just what you would expect from no electricity - dialysis, medicine in general, poor people having their remaining food spoil, etc. Saved you a click.
Sounds like a nightmare.
Me, 10$K/month. Because of AdSense revenue, I took many hours building a new website (online since last month) and hope that website it will eventually make some money. I really don't like having ads on website I visit but don't use AdBlocker (hide it behind other windows). I think WikWik.org is a great site (I'm the author) and for sure would not have exist without AdSense opportunity.
I experienced this fairly abruptly this year. My toddler loved listening to the Thomas & Friends albums. They were "added to my Library" and an almost daily listen. One day, NONE of these were available. Same thing happened earlier when Disney bought Big Block Singsong.

It's funny, because I'm grateful to have an excuse not to listen to these anymore. But in both cases it was quite disappointing to my kid (and irritating on principle).

Kids love to consume the same thing over and over again. Netflix has a similar effect: beloved tv or movies are suddenly gone without a trace, and no warning that they will be disappearing.

Definitely a low-stakes relatable example.
Energy has to come from somewhere. It's not like a nuclear reactor where it starts in place. With hurricanes, we're talking about the energy in area of the entire ocean being concentrated.

Better off creating hurricane-proof windmills.

I happen to be vacationing in Northern CA this week. We drove up the coast on Hwy 1 then 101 from Oakland to Crescent City. After we left Oakland, we saw no public power for 250 miles. Just a handful of places were open with generators.

There was 1 open gas station for all of Hwy 1. We waited in line an hour.

The economic impact of this event is mind boggling.

Agreed, the Rust docs seriously suck, but once you get used to the language you can write incredibly fast code witgh only about 15% more effort than Python. Also, Cargo.toml is great.
It has been years since I had made money off Adsense, but do a Google search for "smart pricing."

Back in the day, I was making decent money off a new account and then that income dropped off a cliff after a couple months. The issue was that the traffic was low performing and I guess it took a couple months for Google to figure it out.

Take a look at your traffic and how well it might be converting for the people paying for those ads. If you're pretty sure it's crap, then do more searching for how you might make that traffic perform better.

For example, my issue was that I had a lot of traffic coming from developing countries and these people weren't going to buy anything. Another example might be that a site short of content isn't aligning well with the ads which Google is showing.
I'm using Nim in production since .18 with zero issues. I spent many years in Qt/C++ and was reasonably quick, but not as quick as I was with D. But then, in an evening, from a cold start, using nothing more than the two Nim Tutorial pages that I happened to have cached in my browser (I was away from a network connection) I was able to redesign and reimplement the bulk of my application in Nim that had taken me one week in D and two in C++. Qt/C++ was great to go from desktop to server to android/iphone. Qt is a bit of a burden on embedded, and D didn't cross-compile easily as Nim. I like banging out standalone executables starting from a two line "script" and evolving up to a complex server.
I like Python, but find datatype or whitespace issues that crop up only in runtime intolerable. Compiled Nim won't allow that in the first place - and is very helpful with error messages. I'm also infuriated by getting a "cross-platform" Python script that won't run on my machine because I haven't configured and installed all the dependencies that were on the original developer's machine!
Anyway, I'd say pick a small app and have a go. After that, you won't want to waste the mental capacity to use anything else.
For knocking out commandline apps, I recommend "cligen" for quick and clean options, or "docopt" for friendlier cli options.
Yeah, new Rust programmers always fight the borrow checker. Once you get used to it though, Rust's compiler is literally orgasmic. It has a build in spell checker for christ sake.
If anything, the deterioration of quality in most modern software is a proof that telemetry makes people do bad job at keeping software working for its users.
> It's not. hg users generally don't understand that git is doing something fundamentally different from hg.

> That is not to say that hg's ux isn't easier to understand than git's. It is easier. In part because it's trying to do something else. That is also not to excuse git's unintuitiveness.

1. So... it is, albeit perhaps by sacrificing certain features.

2. I'm not convinced that git's admissibly more powerful branching model justifies the claim that hg's UX is no nicer and people who prefer it just don't understand git. If nothing else, what practical difference is there between creating a branch with no history vs creating a branch with history and then clearing it out? (That is: `hg branch newbranch && rm -r * && hg commit . -m 'new start'`) Both hg and git boil down to DAGs and have generally similar tools available to manage the grand set of commits.
Projects of any note are notoriously hard to test for yourself since they often use build systems. Golang is nice in this respect, pretty easy and fast.
Agreed. Tax filing is complicated because taxes are complicated. A flat tax on all personal income from all sources as the sole tax would make tax filing incredibly simple. It’s equal in that everyone pays the same rate, and fair in that the more money people earn the more they pay. It would eliminate double taxation, tax uncertainty, save the economy money by eliminating tax accounting, and eliminate tax loopholes by eliminating different classifications of taxable goods, services, transactions, and events.
Not sure how true this is. I know of at least one very simple instance in which they missed a rather significant typo of wages straight from a W-2.
yeah I worked from home for years and you're totally right. I very rarely worked out of the house—but those times I did go down to a coffeeshop it was often when I needed some extra motivation and it worked really well.

I started out with a Dexcom but this insurance year they decided they weren't going to cover it because T2D doesn't have a benefit (allegedly). Maybe as a result of this study? I switched over to the Libre and I'm paying $85 out of pocket every month which is worth the ROI. The Dexcom is way more expensive.
ditto! docker and kubernetes are solutions to problems that shouldn't be there in the first place!

I mean their free file fillable forms is fine. I have used it for a number of years now and it is perfectly functional. Everyone points to how easy the big wigs are but I found the only difference is some slightly nicer phrasing and making it harder to miss EIC and such.

If they automatically filled in the information they had and fleshed out the calculator bits (like not making you use a tax table by hand) it would be a fine tool.
I believe iPadOS/iOS 13 by default will leave Bluetooth on while in airplane mode (likely for watches and headphones). If you turn bluetooth off while in airplane mode, it remembers that as a preference.

I am confused if you this is an honest opinion or if you are saying with a touch of sarcasm. If it is the latter, a winking smiley or "</sarcasm>" or "/s" would have been nice to avoid triggering Poe's Law.

In my honest opinion, discussion on syntax is a distraction. One of the reasons I like Lisp/Clojure is that there is very little syntax. I can just focus on my problem and writing good code.
It’s an extortion scheme.
I think it's time to consider Facebook as a publisher like the NYT, WaPo and broadcast media, then they would have to follow the same rules.
I'm confused. So say we have a repo that contains only 3 files, foo, bar, and baz. We modify all 3 files but for 2 unrelated reasons. In git, you could do this as `git add foo ; git add bar ; git commit`. But you could also just `git commit foo bar ; git commit baz`. And in mercurial, `hg commit foo bar ; hg commit baz` works fine. Am I misunderstanding what you want to do?

NSO are directly implicated in aiding the Saudis murder a US resident and Washington Post journalist. They knew exactly who they were selling to and how their tools would be used.

This is my primary problem with ansible. I find that it's been really great for managing things from my local machine, but that model breaks down a little once you have a medium / largish fleet of machines in some cloud provider's space. On top of that, if you have strict security boundaries between different environments/resources, then running ansible scripts that touch a ton of machines becomes more of an exercise in key management than anything else. I know that there are tools out there like AWX and rundeck, which wrap a lot of ansible functionality, but I've found the push model to be a little hard to manage at scale.

We're using ansible almost exclusively for config mgmt tasks, and I'd like to find a way to make it work better for us, but the agent model used by puppet/chef/salt sounds really appealing, especially when I want to role a change out to a large set of machines
I've been working remotely for almost ~2 years now —amen for the coffeeshop.

There's a really good one by my place that I've been going to for years. I very rarely go there and don't become productive. There's something about just changing things up and working from a more limited setup (just my laptop).
> It's sad that there are so many people who would knowingly cause harm to others, just all for the opportunity to make just a little bit more money.

People like Tim Danaher should be behind bars. It's amazing to me that you can kill, injure, or put at risk hundreds of thousands of lives in the name of profit, but so long as you do it while working for a large enough business you get to continue to live in the luxury those profits afford you no matter how much innocent blood you spilled to gain them. I don't know exactly when we decided that serial killers in suits are perfectly acceptable to us, but even the companies themselves who allow this sort thing to happen are rarely punished enough to offset the gains they made exploiting their customers.

I expect there to be people in this world who will do anything to satisfy their greed, I just don't understand why we continue to let it happen again and again in industry after industry without holding anyone meaningfully accountable for their part in it.
Sure, but the enterprise sphere is mostly what Moore called late majority and laggards. The biggest driver of use is not effectiveness, but perceived safety. A good proof of that is your choice of word here: crazy. It's not that JSON would have been somehow technically wrong; it was just socially wrong.
1. I think everyone would agree there is an obvious moral difference between working for your neighbourhood builder who occasionally overcharges and maintaining the fences on a concentration camp. IE there are degrees of harm, we don't deal in black and whites. Working as a kindergarten teacher for a government does not imply you are any more or less responsible for that government going to war than say a local independent farmer.

2. Not many people would conflate working for washington post and helping to kill civilians in the middle east. But perhaps if shown enough evidence they would maybe do so and act accordingly. So knowledge, like the knowledge in this article, enabled the OP to make an ethical decision.

3. Your comment doesn't help anyone. Because you have discounted degrees of harm ("any major company in the world", "any government") and this then undermined the small bit of knowledge imparted (the WP link). The nett effect is a call to inaction.

As sibling comment notes, that's going away. Even when it was around (and in my mind is now replaced by sr.ht), the problem is that 90% of projects (not a real number, obviously) were using git hosted on github, so if I want to contribute, then I'm going to use git and almost have to have a github account. There were never a huge number of projects hosted on BB, and an even smaller slice of those used hg.

How can it be theft of service when they can deny you service at any time automatically by identifying abnormally heavy users and removing them?

This isn't like bypassing the electrical grid by running your own line from somebody else's service.

This is like saying it's theft of service to read a chapter in the bookstore. If you hang out there all day, you might get kicked out, but that's not a crime.

The courts might agree with you, but only because "computers are hard".

There's a world of difference between tunneling over DNS and compromising servers. Or at least, there should be.
That would require a person looking, or specific code written to handle this case, and knowing where it will and won't break the address.

I also can also confirm that even more obvious schemes are not stripped by spammers, from personal experience.
> the governor said it all:

For anyone who may be less familiar with 90s CA politics, this refers to then governor Pete Wilson (R) who was responsible for the utility deregulation which then became an albatross around his successors' necks.
