> Salt, Ansible, Puppet or Chef _could_ be used as part of this process, but so can shell scripts

I don't see the point of your post, and frankly sounds like nitpicking.

Ansible is a tool designed to execute scripts remotely through ssh on a collection of servers, and makes the job of writing those scripts trivially easy by a) offering a DSL to write those scripts as a workflow of idempotent operations, and b) offer a myriad of predefined tasks that you can simply add to your scripts and reuse.

Sure, you can write shell scripts to do the same thing. But that's a far lower level solution to a common problem, and one that is far hardsr and requires far more man*hours to implement and maintain.

With Ansible you only need to write a list of servers, ensure you can ssh into them, and write a high-level description of your workflow as idempotent tasks. It takes you literally a couple of minutes to pull this off. How much time would you take to do the same with your shell scripts?
i don't trust this plane at all and can barely trust boeing's other planes now. i certainly don't trust the FAA or beoing themselves. this essentially amounts to a government bailout by the FAA. from their language on their own website, the FAA seems to be minimizing the widely publicized internal issues at boeing that led to the 737 max. is there a way to submit complaints or comments to this process, given the FAA is a public, government organization?
If Runtastics reminders to start exercising again also fall under this category, I'm all for it.
He was only sentenced in August. I don't think his appeal has happened yet. Advice I found from a UK barristers chamber suggests that a simple appeal against the sentencing only typically takes about 5 months, but that appeals in general should be processed in less than about 10 months. I'm guessing he's appealing against the overall conviction, not just the sentence, and that this is likely to bring him closer to the 10 month mark.

He's eligible for parole early 2022 if his appeal fails.

We aren’t (Weren’t) rebelling. There isn’t even a debate about it. I still haven’t used cash in years. Certainly not since the 2018 of the article.

We really need “digital cash”, ie a government backed digital currency that can be used with the convenience of cards but with the anonymity (at the point of sale) of cash.

I don’t believe in regular non-state cryptocurrencies for various reasons, not least because anonymity of all transactions isn’t really desirable in a high tax welfare state with high trust that people pay taxes.

The Swedish central back is working on it, so maybe this is not too far away. One should be aware though that “digital cash“ doesn’t solve all the problems, it’s not as resilient technically as paper cash.
Still, it's upkeep. It's necessary, but I wish it wasn't, because it's expensive.
Thanks for start.me. I just registered. I forgot these kind of portals still exist. I used to have netvibes.com but for some reason I stopped using it. I will give another try with Start.me.
I absolutely loved autocad for this. One hand on the keyboard, one on the mouse is an easy way to double your productivity. The speed at which you could draw things was amazing. I had a custom alias file with most commonly used shortcuts and the enter key was bound to right click which removed the need to move your left hand over the keyboard. This was in the 2000. Sadly the more recent versions I have tried make this harder to do. If I hadn’t switched career I’d still be using autocad 2000 !
I'd still uninstall the app.
I've fallen in a different trap so many times here.

Someone will mention a crypto that is supposedly different.

* Check Project Page

* Check Whitepaper

* Check glowing usage reports

* Check success stories

* Check actual usage - find none that is outside other crypto holders

99% of crypto is eating some other crypto.

MakerDAO seems interesting but really is a way for ETH holders to borrow against it. Checking r/MakerDAO seems people are using DAI to speculate on ETH not much else.

Crypto has fallen into permanent Year of Linux on Desktop phase.
Blender and Darktable use it at least. Also commercial Mac apps like Photoshop, Premiere etc.

It's emitted by a bunch of compiler backends (eg Futhark).

ML and computer vision toolkits support it (eg PyTorch, OpenCL etc).

Not sure what you mean by corporate environments but the suits probably mostly use Excel and calc.exe :)
So in fact it is an improvement. As some apps intersperse ads with useful notifications now.

I've been to Mexico so many times all over the country and they have cheaper access to mobile networks than any western country I've been to. That alone makes it a terrible example for western developed countries which was always the context of my comment. Not to mention I'd love to see the penetration and market ROI numbers for what you claim is a legitimate service offering we should be worried about in Mexico alone.

The idea that moving from <1mbps-10mbps to basically decent quality fiber speeds on your phone will result in reduced access to networks (via finely controlled interception and inspection) sounds stupid to me. And as I said it only makes sense in the developing world where there are actually customers who would buy such a thing, and even then only a tiny niche. But in the western world, to expect the entire market to be so anti-consumer and roll backwards like that, that still sounds like a fantasy to me.

I'm not dumb enough to say that giant oligopolies won't try but I highly doubt it will go beyond speculation let alone ever become anything close to 0.1% of the marketshare within the country, let alone globally. It's not a serious threat that can't be dealt with by existing means, even those that roll out well before it ruins anything real.

Meanwhile Indian scammers, who for a significant number we already have the addresses and names of and who use American phone services (as shown in the sublinked video) make hundreds of millions off westerners and literally nothing is being done by the US to a real and active anti-consumer threat that exists today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=le71yVPh4uk

I will be concerned about US net neutrality when and/or if it actually becomes anything close to a real threat and I mean that (ie, companies proposing a serious rollout with pricing and other specifics instead of very broad speculation that they need it to capture more value from the market, which some dumb politician buys into).
Every interesting blog I run across hosts an RSS feed of some kind too, with only 1 or 2 exceptions in... almost 5 years?

Not dead. Absurdly useful. Quite possibly niche, but is it a niche of valuable users? Maybe.

The problem for me is the pricing system.
Pay per user per month? No having 100 or 101 users does not add an operational cost user*base fee.
Would domain names like deletefacebook.com and facebookruinsyourlife.com count as being in this class of infringements? Where do you draw the line?
We have MobilePay in Finland, but I don't know if it interoperates with the Danish system. Denmark is part of the Single Euro Payments Area, so I would expect transfers to be possible.

There were iZettles in many Helsinki cafés a few years ago, but it seems to me that most of them have been replaced by normal PoS terminals.
> Companies complaining that SaaS is cutting into their profit margins, are no different than ones complaining that their IT department is cutting into their profit margins.

You’re betraying a fundamental misunderstanding of how software deployments work for most businesses.

Theoretically, the choice is between an expensive SaaS product and its equivalent OSS product which would need to be deployed in house. What this scenario misses is that most businesses have really ineffective IT departments which absolutely do not have the ability to:

- deploy the OSS versions

- guarantee an SLO for the deployment

- provide tooling around the OSS deployment

Remember that here I’m talking about most businesses; specifically those outside the SV bubble.

So SaaS is fundamentally different from outsourcing. The promise of outsourcing is heavily skewed towards reducing costs and SLOs hardly figure into consideration. SaaS tools might be expensive but they guarantee some things. Predictability is hard to get in the software industry; SaaS businesses promise that. Their success reveals a deep desire in the market for predictability around software products. Unless you have a highly qualified SRE team I doubt you can promise the SLOs promised by SaaS vendors.

I guess I never thought about ordering two cards, probably like most people I like to think it won't happen again.

If I am using cash I don't carry all the cash available to me all the time, so if I lose some cash it is not quite the same as losing my method of accessing money.
I have no idea how facebook can presents themselves as "concerned about privacy" when their whole bloody business model is about exploiting it.
Where do you travel? There are plenty of countries I've been to that don't accept any foreign cards. Unless you only go to the fancy hotels and restaurants, I suppose. But if you actually want to interact with small merchants abroad, you need cash.

I never travel abroad without cash, and that includes when I travel to Sweden.

You would need to figure out what the sticking point is. Without knowing that, we're just a bunch of blindfolded internet strangers randomly throwing darts and hoping they hit the bullseye.

Diets can work, but usually if they are intended to address a known specific health issue. Then specific diets, like keto, have a pretty good track record. But merely restricting calories because you want to be thin has a long and well established track record of being the diet version of that smoking joke: "Quitting smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I know because I've done it hundreds of times."

Some general principles that sometimes help without fully understanding why:

1. Less is more.

Get rid of extra stuff. Streamline your life. Go for a spartan lifestyle.

2. Try fasting instead of dieting.

It's not well understood why it works, but it seems to often be helpful with a variety of issues.

3. Cleanliness is next to Godliness.

Just getting rid of a lot of junk will move you in this direction, but also: clean your keyboard, try to reduce papers in the home, switch to nontoxic cleaners, etc.

4. Keep a journal.

What gets measured, gets done. A journal is a personal record of your life. It can help you see what is or is not actually changing.

Best of luck.
Society demands a sleep schedule, yet the very idea of sleeping on a schedule is newly invented for industrial society.

Having done several years of experimenting on myself, I've come to the conclusion that our sleep needs vary greatly from day to day, circumstance to circumstance, and to sleep the same schedule every day is forcing one's body into a square bowl.

For example, if I am coming down with flu or cold, I may want to sleep as much as 24 hours in a day, maybe 16 if I feel a need to get things done. This allows my body to spend all its energy on mobilizing the immune system, and allows me for a quicker recovery.

If the weather is rainy or gray, I may want to sleep more.

If I'm doing something exciting, like attending a festival or conference, coding, or traveling, I may not want to sleep at all, or get by on a few several-hour naps.

Having adopted a flexible sleeping unschedule, I feel much better than I used to on the office cycle.
At least here in Finland, I associate iZettle with artisans, coffee stands, small farmers and ad hoc store fronts. Cheap and cheerful. Not that I mind it as a customer, but could be an image thing.
Well, I projected forward a few years and imagined how it would be when software "evolves" and becomes more "modern".
I agree, this aspect of CLUI reminds of IOS CLI, which in my opinion is one of the greatest example of command lines. Every command is immediately understandable and, most importantly, there are only a few key commands.
For IT people: it's the opposite of Brocade FabricOS early versions. There were too many commands with similar confusing syntax. And NO autocompletion in many cases.
> I think I have said this at work a few times but might have here as well: if nginx or haproxy could natively talk to Consul for upstream data, I’m not sure how much of this other stuff would have ever been necessary.

To be fair, half of the API Gateways and edge router projects out there are basically nginx with a custom consul-like service bolted on.
Go to any number of places that still accept cash?

Our major grocery store chains all still accept cash (ICA, Coop, Willys, Hemköp etc.) and at least ICA and Coop sells pretty much -everything- at their larger stores. They don't sell mattresses or furniture I guess, but you can go there with enough money and come out fully equipped to go camping for example. IKEA also accepts cash still, so you can buy your furniture there. Or even go get a nice meal there; a plate of meatballs and mashed potatoes costs 39 SEK (~3.7€, $4.1 USD). A BigMac&Co costs twice as much as a frame of reference.

I (a Swede) am able to use cash every single day, and it's not an effort to do so.
The device you are using is presumably (from the name) a colorimeter. In the industry we use spectrophotometers to analyse the full spectrum of reflected monochromatic light, allowing the reconstruction of the whole visible spectrum’s composition, rather than merely matching the overall average wavelength. For some surfaces (very glossy, metallic finish, & cetera) multi-axial spectrophotometers are advisable.

No. I read HN through RSS, as well as around 200 other sites. I would never be bothered to check them all manually, and this affords me a much higher signal to noise ratio over a much shorter period of time.

There simply is no substitute.

This doesn't appear to be an issue in Sweden though, most people don't even carry cash on them.
Don't enforce things if on average they already work. You don't know the second order effects. Currently developers have to balance spamminess versus people opting out completely, which probably diminishes future use of the app. That's a nice informal balance. Formalizing it may lead to much more spamminess since hey, you can always opt out.

As a fan of nginx, I really liked your comment. In sleuthing after reading I came across this:

https://learn.hashicorp.com/consul/integrations/nginx-consul...

It appears that if the consul client has the right permissions it can restart the nginx service after editing the configuration file. It uses the consul templating engine to generate an nginx config file.

I haven't tried it myself but it looks promising.

Totally agree. Before starting with a paper journal about 4 years ago, I was using todo.txt for tasks with some org-mode to supplement. I stuck with it for a good while (2012-2016) but needed more flexibility.

I did go through an experimentation phase trying to do what the "official" bullet journal people and the bujo "influencers" suggested. Instead of having to restart and adapt to a new app, I could try a little bit and discard what didn't work or I didn't like.

To the point that grandparent made about:

> A paper journal is almost always impossible to search, easily damaged, easily lost, and easily customized with stickers, different pens and pencils, and other decor.

I can't run a grep on a notebook, no, but I often know about when I took a note on something to find it quickly. I usually run through a single notebook for a bullet journal per year. I started with fountain pens the same time I shifted back to analog. I have a little fun with colored ink, changing colors at most once a week. I tend towards waterproof/water-resistant inks that can weather some random wetness and still be fine. Some of them are even UV-resistant/forgery proof. I'm not taking hours upon hours to create the perfect spread.

I'm not writing outside in the rain. I've misplaced my phone more than my notebook. With the way that many are paper phobic these days, I'm not in real fear that my book would grow legs and walk off.

It's the potential for exponential growth that has people concerned: look at growth rate of new cases in Korea, Italy, and Iran in last two weeks. US is harder to judge due to lack of testing, may be experiencing the same case rate growth.

Numbers in China were bad and it the equivalent of martial law for weeks to slow new cases to a trickle. It's not clear they are out of the woods and may see additional flare ups as they relax restrictions.

It's precisely because precautionary measure are being taken (I have seen notices of cancellation and lists of mandatory precautionary measures for more than a dozen events just in last two days).

I think there is hope. Ask sites for RSS feeds (especially podcasts, which often forget to link to the RSS feeds). Build interesting new things with it that inspire other people to build things with it. Convince browsers to make RSS friendlier. Mozilla should have Firefox at least tell people what do with RSS when they click the button instead of downloading a raw XML file: "you clicked an RSS feed -- would you like to download this extension to read it?"
