Your income level does not make you wealthy, it is your capacity to absorb financial speed bumps. At uni, I made less money than some of my peers but I felt wealthier than them. This continued into our professional lives and had nothing to do with our relative income levels. Back then I always had spare cash to spend when an opportunity arose. An unplanned weekend trip away, a celebratory night out, no problem. Sure I didn't have what they had. No car, I took the bus instead of flying home, had to have drinks before going out rather then buying them out, that sort of stuff.

The difference was that I saved money to have savings for the sake of having a financial buffer rather than saving for something that I wanted to buy. Don't live beyond your means, it's that simple. These loans are targeted at middle class Americans, not the poor and starving. They should be able to save.
I think relying on the internet to have a trust mechanism built in is a bit like relying on our road-builders to ensure our vehicles are safe.

While the average internet user will just trust the sites and apps they use, there's nothing stopping those who are able from designing/building/using/sharing technology which they can reasonably trust. The building blocks are there (crypto / networking libraries etc.).

When open source software gets outlawed, I'll be worried.
Ask HN: What's Next for TUIs?
I started using terminal/text-based user interfaces almost a year now and have gotten so much out of them: they're fun to use, performant, and extensible through config files and exposure of key variables.

In the GUI world, you find anticipation for new technologies both from the community (JS frameworks that make web apps a breeze to create through reactivity and page transitions) and browser vendors (subgrid and CSS Houdini), and I imagine the same is true for native GUIs.

What is new in the TUI world in terms of community frameworks, libraries, shells, and terminal emulators? and does that go against the performant and stable aspect of the command line? is there such thing as a modern TUI? I can hardly get images and font ligatures on my terminal emulator.
Are we really sure it was Apple's fault? Their browser market share was always rather small and smaller outside the US. But Adobe seemed to reeeeeally abandon the thing after apple's decision. They could have at least open sourced it
Agree. Curious how having their own delivery trucks is going to move that needle.
I can't comment on China and other fields, but in the US for AI and robotics, in which I do research / publish in, there is definitely a growing trend of an over-emphasis on novelty research that disregards reproducibility in favor of "wow" factors and fancy demo videos. A lot of highly cited research papers/labs tend to be the most heavily promoted ones (on Twitter, in the press, etc), and they're not necessarily impactful/useful for the rest of the field.
> Yes of course we should, HOW?

Look at how society works in countries that are better than your own at this. What is the fundamental differences in politics, media climate, labor market laws, health insurance education. Then vote for a politician or party that tries to improve things in that direction.

I don't think there are technological quick fixes. The solution to "people live paycheck to paycheck" I think is e.g. improving employment security by e.g. not having healthcare tied to employment which keeps people in low paying jobs. Ensuring everyone can organize so employers pay more, and so on.
SOP doesn't make it right. A journalist could say "A spokesperson made an unrelated comment in leiu of answering the question."
I haven't found a large site that that has worked on in years.
He specifically said that he is not longer on the Word team.
I agree with this theory, and I think we're seeing some of it with the trades. Digital natives are competing in a global marketplace with millions of others, while local tradespeople are competing with the other people in town.
Do we not do this anymore? When I was in high school almost 40 years ago, there was a class/classes that taught things like balancing a checkbook (go ask your parents), keeping a household budget, how interest works, and the like. I didn't take that class (kinda wished I had), so I don't know what it was called.

If we don't, we should. Especially now that we're all responsible for our own retirement. With nearly every job I've held in the last 20 years, I've been one of the "financial geeks" to ask questions of, and it is astounding the amount of ignorance we collectively have and yet are supposed to understand the shit that gets thrown at us by our 401K plans. I don't blame the individuals for their ignorance, hell, I make a hobby of this stuff and I'm still lost sometimes. But don't just thrown 'em into the deep end, have a class or two in high school because everyone is going to have to deal with some aspect of finances.
How to recruit beta users for my app without sounding like an ass
Basically, how do I recruit beta users for my MVP without sounding overtly self promotional?

So far, the only 2 channels that have worked for me is to talk to potential users in real life or to post about it on forums like reddit, hacker news, quora and indie hackers.

People do seem to like my idea but the product is not refined yet, which is why I need feedback from users in the first place.

So, I am a bit cautious about promoting an unfinished product to random strangers I meet in real life and also I am afraid that if I post about my startup too often, I will be called out as a marketing shill.

Also, are there any other methods for me to get initial traction other than talking to people in real life and posting about it online?
The point of my post is that one shouldn't be "that concerned with making a mistake", so once again, choose any. It is not a big deal.
But in the "good old days" the entire WWW was pretty niche, wasn't it?
Just because it's cheap doesn't mean there aren't cheaper alternatives. Most people could easily replace that with a netflix subscription for $13, since they already have an internet connection.

That process _is_ string leaking out from inside JavaScript. That all property keys are actually strings is a leak from JS' original implementation.

You've accurately explained how it works, without understanding that what I've said explains why that how is allowed to occur.
Thanks for this comment - I never tried Ghidra thinking it’s the same non-undoable usability disaster.
I don’t know if this has changed but a couple of years ago you just had to try and build bazel from source which was extremely painful.

Source? Twitter.com currently works just fine on Desktop. Even dynamically adjusts its layout to look good on a bunch of different screen sizes.
Eh, I remember traveling in the early days of tablets and being delighted that it worked as an almost complete replacement for a laptop (or at least, the limited use of a laptop that one needs whole traveling), in a way that iPads didn't remotely approach. They couldn't even play embedded video!

I'm not a big fan of the tablet form factor in general, but it didn't make a lot of sense to hamstring it further by removing Flash.
I am not the only person with this perspective. Some very accomplished people agree with me.

I think newgrounds (a big flash games/videos portal) is offering such a tool, but I didn't tried it, since flash was still working in the browser.
>but I'm guessing that will never be diagnosed as a problem and get its own article because nobody cares when it comes to adults?

First, a quick Google tells me there are plenty of articles written about too much screen time, generally. Second, teenagers are at a very vulnerable, formative time of their lives when this excessive screen time is occurring, with as yet unknown consequences.

This sounds like "no true Scotsman." What part of "it" in the saying "If it's not free..." implies that the saying is not applicable to software or community-backed websites?

Surely the saying absolutely applies to free mobile games, free raffles at a car dealership, or free loyalty cards in stores. So it's not specific to "services."

Daily Scrum Anti-Patterns
Sure seems an awfully uncritical fluff-piece for an app that's such a central part of China's dystopian surveillance state. Unknown scores of people have been arrested and detained indefinitely for things they've posted on WeChat.

Also, if WeChat's success is due to it's so called "Grand design" thinking and not its history of blatantly copying features from other apps, nor from Chinese protectionism in its home market, why isn't it popular outside of china with anyone other than the Chinese diaspora? Seems if its such an innovative app it should have scores of users in other countries.
It's not quite as feature complete as cluster ssh, however I am also using it and have bound it to "v" with this tmux config:

Why does this seem to only apply to the poor and not the rich and wealthy? When a company takes illegal action to pollute streams and gets a slap on the wrist, or investor kickbacks result in worse and worse wildfires in California, where's the personal responsibility?

When it comes to loans and bankruptcy we're expecting people to suck it up and live under the thumb of debt for the rest of their lives for the fall of needing money to pay rent, go to college or deal with medical bills.

I've been through enough shit myself that I have plenty of empathy for people with no choice. Calling them 'quitters' (in reference to your other comment') is absolute nonsense and simply a way of rationalizing FGYM.
>>>> Well, a homeless person with a smartphone has a hell of a lot better chance of getting a job than they did pre-smartphone, right?

>>>Not that I know the answer, but I would have to see a source on this. Why would a device that may increase access to job postings, but a non-homeless job candidate is much more likely to have than a homeless person, increase the chances of said homeless person in getting a job? I'm not even sure that the ability to access job postings is the main problem there.

>We're discussing comparison #2.

I think whatever meaning you had in another thread hasn't been in the one I replied to.
I posted this a day or so ago, glad to see it is now trending on the front page. Cluster SSH looks very useful and reminds me of what Salt Stack tries to do.
That was widely available to huge numbers of designers who already had Adobe's Creative Suite, whether through work or school or from the high seas.
These companies wouldn't be profitable, but other companies that are founded post-regulation could be. Companies have a remarkable ability to mold their business models around regulation.
This is where Saltstack really shines, IMO. Once you have the minion installed, you have a ZMQ command channel on each of those boxes.

salt -G "roles:whatever" cmd.run "blahblahblah"

Easy to target by any number of things - name, OS, IP subnet, custom metadata, etc. Very powerful, and makes intelligent administration of a fleet a lot easier.

For example, I recently used this to audit our fleet for vulnerable PHP+nginx installs, regarding the recent CVE:

salt "*" cmd.run 'ps ax | grep -q "[p]hp-fpm" && ps ax | grep -q "[n]ginx" && dpkg -l | grep -P "ii.*php"'

While we'll upgrade PHP on any systems it's installed on (also easy to find), this gave me a high-priority hitlist of all machines that needed PHP upgrades because they were running active php-fpm + nginx combinations.
Most of them are actually scrolling through endless advertisements and clicking thumb icons.

This is what I figured, that today's equivalent of Flash gamers are just on mobile games instead. I do miss the anarchic quality that the Flash ecosystem had in the 2000s, but I think that's more a function of the type of people who spent time online back then.
I'm pretty sure it's explained by the description of "Company gets money through directing employee labor, but an uneven portion of it is given back to shareholders instead of employees".

aka being employed is a worse deal than being an investor, disproportionately.
Contour is a Kubernetes ingress controller using Envoy
I would agree with you in theory, but in this case it does not seems to hold. Not knowing anything about the people involved I got looking around on the twitter discussions mentioned to form my own opinion.

Here I found the following message from John S. :

I've said a lot of "odd" things on Twitter recently.

Why? Because this, my friends, is how you deal with SJWs. You troll the hell out of them and they have no weapon they can use against you.

Stop fighting them with logic. Just say inflammatory, illogical things to them.

(not linking the exact tweet, I don't want to encourage brigading)

Whatever your stance is on the issue, John has explicitly stated that he is ready to speak in bad faith here. So no in this case it does not seems like a cliche or a logical fallacy to me.
Velero - Backup and migrate Kubernetes resources and persistent volumes
I went into some detail about the type system of JS and why I believe that justifies that JS is worse than C, the very same type system that is discussed in the majority of the article.

I did in fact, read and respond to the article.
Totaly
C++.

As Someone1234 said, web development is the largest area in software. I'm in embedded systems, though, which is a very different world from web programming, and C++ (or just C) is the king in that area.

That's what has to change. Both the location of people, and the definition of "urban core".
If they have a custom kernel that only runs internally to provide some sort of SaaS, they don't have to disclose anything.

If you were in the market for a new mobile machine, would you be going Intel or AMD?

I'd be basing my decision primarily around which models fulfil my needs - be that in terms of portability, battery life, display quality, performance (CPU and GPU), ergonomics, etc. Right now, there is much less choice of AMD-based laptops, and they currently tend to be on the low end of the scale in terms of everything but performance. After years of integrating and tuning systems with only Intel CPUs, the laptop makers have yet to get the hang of making high-quality AMD-based laptops. I suspect this will change over time (Microsoft's aforementioned Surface Laptop 3 is a good sign in this regard).

If you're keen to support the underdog and can wait a few months, you can certainly wait for Renoir to be launched. I suspect AMD are itching to get a piece of that giant laptop revenue pie, so even if it ends up being Zen+ with Vega, AMD might have spent that time instead fine tuning idle power draw and thermals. Performance of their APUs is already decent, so such fine-tuning might be enough to get some high quality AMD-based thin & light laptops to market.

If you need a powerful (discrete) GPU and would prefer to go with AMD over NVIDIA for that, the upcoming Navi-based Radeon RX 5500M is one to watch, be it paired with an Intel or AMD CPU.

Disclosure: I skew towards AMD for both GPUs (in preference to nVidia) and CPUs (in preference to Intel) when it makes sense. I've got a Ryzen-based desktop system, but there are more Intel-CPU-based systems in my office, to a large extent because I do Mac-based development professionally - I think I bought my last AMD-based laptop in 2005.
Could you elaborate on this? If I started a business (LLC), I could open an AmEx card card under the business and have access to a 0% line of credit? That doesn't sound quite right. I'm surely missing something.
Perhaps more appropriately called "Nolog."

Physical interaction is still extremely important to societies and individuals; not everything can be virtualized or made remote without loss of effectiveness or efficiency, at least not yet.

For personal interactions, you have face-to-face talking and generally (in the context of clustering) access to many people with aligned interests to talk and interact with in person in real time.

Culturally, you have art installations, exhibitions, and all sorts of activities like musical concerts, theater, etc. that aren't exactly reproduced remotely.

In terms of work and hobbies, clusters can give access to tools, workshops, that might be too expensive to have at home. Say using a hackerspace/fab lab vs. having a complete electronics lab in your house or a laser cutter.

All of those should be more readily accessible (in terms of transportation time and cost) if you are well located within a large hub.

Of course, remote does have significant cost benefits in some respects (housing and supplies), and for some professions the benefits of cities aren't strictly necessary, but clustering and the physical world should not be underestimated or thought obsolete.
Real-estate-as-speculation is the root cause. Everyone else just got caught up playing the game. Doesn't make those who participated blameless, but helps to identify the simplest way to repair some of the damage.

awesome-selfhosted – Free Software network services and web applications
There was a study done by the national statistics office in Spain recently that stated that Airbnb and short term rentals had[0,1] little impact on rental prices in Madrid in Barcelona.

As it turns, out high demand to live in the center of two of Europe's most vibrant and popular cities outpaces supply.

Unfortunately, politicians here in Spain prefer to hammer home a populist and incorrect narrative about tourists and foreign companies being responsible for their poor policy decisions.

I see where you're coming from, but these companies didn't break any laws when they launched.

I think all sides failed (companies and governments) to manage the disruption caused by these firms' meteoric rise.

> I feel like the government should be offering some type of non predatory debt relief comparable to this.

Just want to point out the fact that US government-backed student loans are non-dischargeable through bankruptcy. You will have that albatross around your neck until you pay it off or die. This is the ultimate predatory loan and it's provided by the government.
There is. But in this particular case I stand by my point, a cursory glance will show that JavaScript is nothing like C. Starting an article with such a premise and re-stating it repeatedly smells like clickbait to me. Also it devaluates the point made by the article which is actually good.
Shouldn’t you be using Ansible (or other) to manage your multiple servers rather than ssh into them?!

Totally agreed! I think Brew will eventually be remembered as "this bad way of entering the topic of interest", like BASIC for programming, or a learning js / web programming through a framework first.

It's teaching you the wrong way, making you almost illiterate about pm when you enter the real thing (here Linux/UNIX world, or Python after BASIC, vanilla web concepts, etc.)

Those personal appliance have very real cost, especially in term of how much space it takes up on the roads and the amount of parking lots allocated. All of these increased the distance you have to walk to get somewhere and increased congestion.

I saw traffic in Sagion, Vietnam. Believe me, cars stick out like sore thumb compared to motorcycles and bikes, and if everyone uses car, traffic would basically grind to a halt.

With the way we use cars in America, it's very inefficient.

I drove a rental Nissan Rogue a few weeks back while we were in DC and it had top-down camera, auto steer, adaptive cruise, heated everything, etc. And that is not exactly the most desirable car you can buy.
