I thought YNAB was nice when I used it. However not everyone feels comfortable entering bank credentials on a third party website. Also, not everyone wants to spend their time maintaining a stateful database. In my view historical transactions should be immutable, it's the interpretation of the data that I should be fiddling with by hand. I had some spare time so started working on my ideal budgeting tool that is more like a pipeline, that fetches the relevant account data, applies some scriptable transformations, then outputs a static website with charts & spending breakdown. Besides the architecture, the most important feature to me is that with some prodding it's capable of stitching together account statements into something more like a graph representation where there are no negative transfers, only movements from one named account to another. That allows for a more realistic birds-eye view of what's going on than one would get by viewing any account in isolation.

The project isn't quite where I want it to be, but it's getting close. The next thing to improve is support for banks that only allow users to download an N month window of transactions. Probably I will save each download to a timestamped file then merge them in-memory before the next stage in the pipeline. The source code for all of this is here: github.com/tmerr/bank_wrangler. I don't expect it to be useful for anyone else verbatim but it might give you some ideas or something to fork from. Disclaimer: banks might not be happy about web scraping / using undocumented APIs, so don't mindlessly fetch data without understanding that risk.
>I explained to her that these kinds of movies can’t be made anymore because too many people would be outraged.

I don't get this attitude. I think movies like this aren't made any more because they wouldn't be original or worth making. They wouldn't be commercially viable. Outrage is only going to come from a minority, and everyone else just won't care.

I think we have so far passed the degree of shock that people don't even notice any more.

Borat, South Park, Tropic Thunder, Shameless, The Boondocks, examples are easy to find and I don't even care for this flavor of humor.

I guess these examples are mostly from several years ago or more, but I have been hearing "these kinds of movies can't be made anymore" for the last 20 years.
Your opinion is great.

Actually we want to combine "threading", "gevent" and "multiprocessing" together in this package. We can offer a unified API to handle different types of concurrency in your application if your application is light-weight and is not very performance-dependent. We don't know if it is necessary.

Additionally, if you don't want a "startable" statement in your code, you can use our library in the following way:
"go(fn)(arg1,arg2)".
You don't have to declare that the function is startable.

Happy 2020 anyhow~
I’m curious about the economics of constructing such a place: 13 story buildings under such conditions seem a non sequitur.
Tango!
Income inequality, underemployment and lack of employment opportunities are real problems. But words have meaning, and we as a species have had a pretty ugly history with slavery. Let’s not dilute the meaning of that word when there are others that are more accurate.
All hail false analogies.
Makes me consider the other options now. It use to be best for the dollar.
I have never seen one instance where it was beneficial to the user... some of these programmers (minority) really think that they know better
This seems more interesting as it is open sourced, support current hardware etc.
I completely agree. It's a great example that they are still incapable of owning their mistakes, and cannot be trusted without a significant dressing down. Let them fail.

VR communication systems are a toy/gimmick like second life was. I have spent some time with VRchat and see no reason why it would end up becoming a primary method of communication over IM/social media. Its a good way to mess around and have some fun but its less convenient than existing methods.
You just download the HTML file and open it to 'run' it. Then, once you've made changes, use your browsers "save as" feature to save a copy. Everything is in browser.

Other options do things like public hosting.

Personally, I just use the HTML file with the Timimi Firefox plugin installed for autosaving the current file.
Hey I tried out your app, but I don’t understand how to use it at all, in fact there’s no information really at all on what it is. Maybe you could consider making a small tutorial when you first sign up? Also feel free to email me if you want to talk about it, I’m also working on a social app. Was this built in react native?
Greed applies to possessions, not just money.
I'd also like to see the inclusion of compulsory personal finance and budgeting education in our education system, both during high school and college/university years. A lot of the stress that encompassed my life back when I was working in a retail environment came from worrying over bills which ballooned because of my own lack of budgeting. It's an important skill that everyone should be exposed to early on.
I feel that particular quote is taken out of context a bit. The line immediately preceding it is:

> Another damning exchange calls into question the safety of the 737 Max long before the plane was approved to fly passengers.

It’s the quality of the finished product I care about, not the quality of the product at some unspecified point during R&D.
No you can use Wayland as long as your window manager/environment supports GBM. Gnome and KDE both do (Which for most Linux users is all that is needed).

Now you can't use something like Sway but their lead developer is too evangelical for my taste so even if I had an AMD/Intel card I would never use it.
> so far no residue

I think your cows might be constipated. ;)

Incidentally I've heard of farmers renting out goats to mow difficult terrain, particularly on steep hills next to roads.
I've mentioned this before, but I'd love to have a note taking app as convenient as EverNote, but that lets me insert code cells a la Jupyter notebook. I can barely think without Jupyter any more. Maybe that's not a good thing, but it's sure handy.
My point is simply that the larger commercial cloud vendors aren't magically immune to bulk data loss, particularly in the face of internal threats.

Consider the current tensions between Iran and the US. If Iran decides to retaliate with cyberattacks, major cloud vendors could suddenly have multiple regions go up in smoke concurrently.

They'll just shrug their shoulders and say that it's the customers' responsibility to protect their own data, and that they're just offering platforms for rent.
This is shocking. Said by a cynic.
I looked at purchasing a condo in North York up in Ontario a few years back. The condo was connected to a shopping center with grocery, restaurant, movie theatre and other shops. In addition it was right on top of the subway station. At that time I worked downtown in a building also with direct access to the subway as well as to the PATH network. So in this scenario I literally could never go outside and get everything I need, which is both good and bad.

I guess I had something like that in mind but minus the subway so things are in a smaller radius.
Actually we failed to do that. the "with" statement relies on "__exit__" method. It is useful but too "Python" to emulate "defer" for us.

Thanks for your opinion!
What is difference of this and bear on iOS and macOS which I used everyday now.

Yes depend up server and paid subscription. But use tag and sync across multiple devices
What do you use Jupyter for? Feel like I'm missing out. :)
I think this is a reminder - do not say or do inappropriate things using company resources (chat, email, VPN, etc). Don't complain about co-workers, don't joke about breaking the law, don't say or do anything rude or disrespectful. You'll get about 5 seconds of happiness from a joke that can ruin your career.
It puts me off that its $6 more a month than Github team, and I felt it was steep before. We are heavy postman users, and have been from the start. We will consider different options now.
Yea I had something like that in mind too. Something like the PATH network in Toronto or the plus 15 up in Calgary.
The cost (not just money) of this to Boeing needs to be way, way more than the cost of the additional training/certification/better sensors and software or whatever would have been needed to do this right to begin with.

We can’t let this to come down to a cynical “what’s the cost of a life?”-style calculation.

It needs to be much more consequential relative to the crime/incompetence than Equifax, Facebook, etc.
All of the above, depending on what I'm trying to accomplish. Usually Samba for Windows clients and general bulk storage (pretty much everything can do CIFS mounts at some basic level these days), NFS for *nix and VMWare clients (esp where I can leverage NFSv4), iSCSI for various block image needs, scp/sftp/rsync. All of this is basic out of box for FreeBSD.

In operations, I treat them as semi-black-box (grey-box?) appliance where they only do the file storage function and are moral equivalents of Network Appliance NAS boxes. I don't try to convince the Linux or Windows teams to migrate other workloads to FreeBSD, and mostly don't want them to since that would mean Yet Another app environment to support.

FreeBSD has a really efficient network stack, so I can attach the FreeBSD stores at 10GB (usually, 2-4 bonded 10GB links) and it keeps up fine. I I have colleagues who are doing the same with 40GB links (40-160BG aggregate) to backbone networks, and apparently there are many shops hooking up FreeBSD with 100GB links. Limiting factor seems to be ZFS and the storage subsystems supporting it, not network, which is interesting, but I don't have the ability to benchmark the 40GB and higher stuff.
Why? I’ve ragged on my employers in DMs, and will often express very blunt concerns about quality/risks in emails or PRs. Providing my opinions in such channels is part of what I’m paid to do. If my employer doesn’t heed my advice, manages to majorly mess something up, and my comments come back to haunt them, why is that my problem?
What app are you using?
A "quant" is someone who studies quantitative finance, typically found in investment fields. The word for this wave-packet with particle properties is "quantum". It is a singular noun; its plural is "quanta".
> I'm always curious about claims that HN is degenerating. Where are those dissenting opinions of which you speak?

You banned yummyfajitas, aka Chris Stucchio. That was where the elves left Middle Earth for me.
I don’t see that extra bit of context changing the quote
"this airplane is designed by clowns who in turn are supervised by monkeys"

In the moment, I would imagine this comes across as sour grapes. With the benefit of hindsight, that sentiment seems to hold some water.
On my machine running Ubuntu 18.04 (coreutils 8.28, openssl 1.1.1), openssl is faster than both shasum and sha256sum.
China it depends as many cities things are a fair distance away, but core of HK is pretty dense. But that’s a plus for me, that I can go downstairs and get most of what I need from a small radius that’s very walkable.

I agree with the 200 person complex, that’s too small. It needs to be something big enough and containing enough people that it feels like a small city, not a small school.
Could you explain the exact connection, though? I don't understand what's funny about it. It'd be like a book written 100 years ago saying "humans can fly", and then in 2200 someone invents a cheap portable jetpack. If you lived in 2200, would you say "it's funny" that that old book mentioned flying and look, here we are, flying?

Plenty of other old texts depict long-lived humans as well. It's probably been a fantasy among humans for many thousands of years.

I think the only thing that can actually fix Boeing is bankruptcy, so I hope that people refuse to fly on the Max even after recertification and it ends up being too big of a financial blow to recover from.
This is very exciting! Especially the SPICE model library. Microcap's libraries have lots of SPICE models that I haven't seen anywhere else. Being able to grab them will be awesome, even if I wind up using them with LTSPICE.
Group think is a real thing unfortunately...
Yes, it's subjective. As I clearly write they're ways in which I found them to be better.

They certainly connect easier and more reliably than my over-ears, bought around the same time (flagship Sony noise cancelling ones). As for the price, as Wikipedia documents and many others have mentioned, they were priced lower than most other truly wireless earbuds when they launched. Since then the field has grown more competitive, which is good for the consumer.

Could you create an empty account with no personally identifiable info and use that to see events? Before deleting FB I deleted the app from phone and used browser only. If I went back it would be as a zero value profile.
Presumably internal employees are familiar with the design process of planes. Or do you suspect they make statements like this for every plane during th early stages?
That’s what you took away from this?
Huh learned the term arcology today. I think that’s a pretty fitting word to describe what I meant.
And as soon as we know what it is and the phenomena responsible the naming will change. Especially when we find out its not actually "dark" and is instead x, y or z under a, b, c conditions.
As someone who has recently starting dealing with a somewhat significant weight problem, I would like to disagree with the premise a little bit.

I have put on quite a lot of weight recently as a result of two simple things: one, I am older. This probably is not a big part of it.

Two, I just stopped exercising for a few months. Meaning, I have not even been doing my daily walks.

I don't often eat snacks or really large meals. Sometimes only one meal in a day. But since I often don't move around _at all_ except for minimal tasks, and have spent a lot of time sitting at the computer, I have been putting on weight rapidly.

So yeah, my New Years resolution is to go back to walking every day.
Why just end a career? Why not go to jail?
We already have soup kitchens in America. We have solutions of last resort regarding hunger. So this is a total strawman.

Yes. Having every man, woman and child line up for government potatoes, government bread, and government cheese at some government office is unequivocally a dystopian nightmare.
Vague remarks about the design of the plane being unsound at any point in time prior to it being approved to fly passengers, doesn’t reveal any information at all about the soundness of the design of the plane that was eventually approved to fly passengers.
I was a paid BeOS customer and still have copies of multiple versions in the original branded shipper envelopes. I have fond memories of using it back during my college CS days. Really loved the interface, that was quite the time when I used NT4, Solaris, Irix, and BeOS all at the same time.
This sort of stuff makes me freak out when I find out I am flying on a Boeing product. I expect people that are making aircraft to be better than when this NPR reporting purports.
I have to wonder what effect changes in clothing have had over the decades. The steady trend has been for people to wear less and less clothing since the 1800s, right? But the word "clothing" doesn't appear anywhere in the paper.

I also feel like Amish people living a very old-fashioned lifestyle might make an interesting control group.

I have no idea. I doubt anybody commenting in this thread does either, given the complete lack of context.

Given Boeing’s proven track record, you could potentially speculate that the comments are actually in reference to some serious failure. But the quote as it’s presented doesn’t provide any meaningful information.
> But an intense and emotional overreaction only makes that position seem less credible to the uninformed.

But haven't those same companies already proven themselves to not be credible by their actions? What happens when everyone doesn't have this reaction, we get complacent and it's too late because they've already taken control? That's not confirmation bias, that's critical thinking.

> Many of the interpretations you have, and the intents and beliefs you claim Zuckerberg holds, are not evident in the article.

This is like listening to Pooh bear saying he's going to eat less honey this year because he wants to lose weight without ever reading any of the books.
I completely agree, but I'm pretty sympathetic to the employees. I've worked enough and made enough jokes at work that I don't give much credence to them. At a lot of places I've worked, people internally often viewed the infrastructure as shit, even when it's well-received by users. I think it's part cynicism, and part that so much time goes to fixing bugs, when all you see is that bad part of something, it colors your judgement.
I'm satisfied with the internet that I pay for, and it's relatively inexpensive compared to everything else in my life, well beyond its relative importance. This doesn't even register on the list of things I worry about.
I'd blunt that with: It is still appropriate for you to respectfully raise concerns with coworkers, management, etc using company resources. That especially includes if you suspect something may actually be illegal, in violation of a contract etc. Basic human decency and ethics aside, getting fired is still better than going to jail as a scape goat.
I still don't understand how the one of the most intelligent minds in Silicon Valley work for Facebook to make sure people click ads. Can they work on real problems like the ones Bill Gates foundation is working on? No, non-profitable enough
That doesn't mean they cancel each other out as acts of good and evil, though. They cancel each other out as acts of historical creation and destruction.
I continue to be unceasingly disappointed by his failure to release Miegakure after all these years.
I’m saying check Mithril npm packages vs react/vue packages, contributed by the people who wanted to work with each framework. Some ecosystems have more work to pull from, more people active and experienced, and more established patterns & tools.
The changes conveniently accomplished nothing except for breaking ZFS. Furthermore, just because they don't officially support ZFS doesn't mean they must stonewall all the users who desire the improved compatibility. Reverting this small change would not be a declaration that ZFS is officially supported.
I agree. I'll be boycotting the Max just on principle, regardless of what extra safety measures are implemented to get it re-certified.

I'm hoping (and kind of expecting) that people will build simple apps or websites to check whether an advertised flight is on a 737 Max. It should be quite easy for people to avoid/boycott this plane.
Apple just told w3c that beforeinstallprompt is bad and they will not implement it. Firefox won't too. So I really don't know what is going to happen going forward...
I use flask-user. It does login, logout, roles, password reset, email or username login and many more features.

I'm a UX designer, and by no means a pro, but my workflow is usually along the lines of:

- wireframe on Sketch (some people are faster on paper, I'm faster on Sketch/XD/whatever)

- create what I call a medium-fidelity mockup (basic styling, all components, etc, but not much actual content)

- create a small PWA/webpage to demonstrate behavior and flow

- go back and complete my high-fidelity design

- send it, and any styleguides, to the devs

Throughout these steps there are multiple rounds of iteration, review, and branching, but eventually you have a product design ready to go.
Except American interests will trump all so they'll play as dirty as they need against Airbus and kill Canadian aerospace in the process.
This is already jumping through hoops. If my friends organize birthdays they do it through private FB events and group chats, meaning I would have to still readd all the friends I have. And at that point I am sure my new account could be correlated and linked to my old account.

Some groups like my local housing community I would have to explain who I am and give a huge spiel about how I deleted my Facebook account and I am actually X.
How would bankruptcy fix Boeing? Bankruptcy is a process around restructuring debts (or winding down the company). It's also very likely to get a bailout (if it comes to that) since the world needs more than one major commercial aircraft maker.
I thought a current suspect of diminished classroom performance is CO2, and a typical filter won't help there. I'd like to see a study with CO2 sequestration in classrooms and/or other people-dense indoor settings.
Wow, this article is full of amazing quotes. I highly recommend reading the entire thing. My favorite one I haven't seen posted yet
> "I still haven't been forgiven by God for the covering up I did last year," one employee says in 2018, referring to an exchange of information with the FAA.

Utterly unbelievable, yet also totally unsurprising given everything else that's come out about Boeing recently.
This. Exactly this. They are literally saying:

> [Sounding safety alarms is] inconsistent with Boeing values, and the company is taking appropriate [ie punitive] action in response [to prevent any alarms on the next unsafe design].
Mostly BoxVR but with some BeatSaber mixed in. BoxVR is super effective once you’ve learned its quirks and really commit to shadow kick boxing (putting a lot of force into your punches). BeatSaber is more fun and less of a grind, but its lack of a fitness mode means you fall out of zone too much inside and between songs. I want to try some more games with fitness potential like PistolWhip, and I’m still hoping for something better than BoxVR, which has a lot of usability deficiencies.
So I am going to skip birthdays to prove a point? Or just lose knowledge about my local housing community and what is going on? See what I mean?
im not sure if they paid for this, i assume by the term auction they did. if theyre throwing cash about i think they should spend a little on a rebrand to ditch that incredibly clumsy name. i cant think of any reason to have kept it so long unless someone high up in the company is for some reason very attached to it, to me it brings to mind Richard Hendricks clinging to Pied Piper on Silicon Valley (and even that is a better name!)
> High to extreme higher end would be something like MarkMonitor.

Being a registrar is only a side effect of their business though, not really comparable.
This seems right to me. I think most of us have been in situations where we've commiserated with coworkers about a problem that we felt was beyond us to fix, because it's coming from the top. Either management is actively refusing to invest in the necessary changes, or they're creating an environment where it's not even safe to bring those problems to light. And even worse, a culture where it's normalized that there are unfixable problems, such that employees barely even remark on them.
