Ah, I never use my real card on the net, maybe that's why. I used to get a virtual card unique for every purchase but that has been discontinued now. Got a separate card for online usage that I only put money on when I want to buy something. Also needs to be opened up for Internet usage and many places require an electronic signature with the bank id app. Hoping this will be mandatory soon.

As somebody who also works in embedded systems, I had almost the same experience with Vettery.

I tried them out a year or two ago, and found that there was literally no way to add keywords/tags as a user. So if Vettery didn't have an existing keyword for [language or skill you're good at], then you have no way to advertise that skill to companies hiring from Vettery.

Then Vettery basically just wouldn't leave me alone and one of their agents kept pestering me to finish my profile. I told them that I couldn't fill it out because I couldn't add the right keywords for my specialties, and they said something like "if you send me a list of your specialties, I can raise a support ticket to try and get them added to the list". I wrote off their platform as fundamentally broken right in that moment.

Vettery: "We use machine learning and real-time data to match talented job-seekers with inspiring companies. Our goal is to enrich and automate the recruiting process."

Yeah, right.
Are lower-than-GEO graveyard orbits common? I mean, I guess they are, judging by stuffin.space, but my intuition would be that it wouldn't take any more fuel to put a satellite in a higher-than-GEO graveyard orbit (and thus further minimize the risk of collision), no?
That is a common trend on JVM guest languages, to blame Java or the JVM for their impedance mismatch with the host platform.

Granted, this usually only comes from those that don't bother much to learn about the underlying platform and are sometimes even agressive against what actually made their favourite guest language possible to exist.

Interesting thing is, living in Europe, AFAIR I never heard about "use two spaces" rule until now (even if in a long monospace plaintext, I might have subconsciously used it sometimes to disambiguate).

If I saw that in a Word document, however, I would have thought the author was a technically-illiterate person who puts extra spaces around commas, quotes, parentheses etc. or uses 10 spaces instead of 1 tab for indentation.

I'm building my startup in phoenix.

First of all I wanna say that Clojure is a fantastic language and if the dials on my particular needs were different, I would have gone with Clojure and am considering clojurescript for a subproject paired with an elixir backend.

When I started the project, realtime over WebSockets were a huge consideration. Additionally, we weren't doing anything revolutionary from a computer science perspective. Phoenix came in with a clear story for all the work I wanted to accomplish.

There were well accepted and documented libraries for doing authentication and a really nice library for accessing the database.

The language has few gotchas and is relatively easy to learn. I have no doubt I could take a good js or python developer and have them be proficient within 2-3 weeks. Thats a big deal for when we are ready to onboard more people.

The elixir language feels a lot like clojure with a ruby like syntax. you have maps(structs) and a similar theme of 100 functions on one data structure. When sketching an idea, I can build my data structure out as a map and delegate to functions based on specific properties within the structure just the same as you would in Clojure. The language supports hygenic macros though I have been content with using the ones provided by absinthe and the kernel.

Phoenix itself is Extremely composable. Yes there are some constraints imposed by the language but no where near what you'd find in a more magical framework like ruby. In every case I've run into, I've been able to granularly pull and modify whatever functionality I've needed. middleware for instance is oriented around plug. Plug consists of a struct that contains data pertaining to the http request and response. ALL middleware is a function that takes a plug struct and returns a plug struct. Its about as composable as you're going to get. The end result is a very stable system that is really easy to reason about.

The biggest advantage, however, has been the deployment and infrastructure story. OTP is fantastic and lets us create workers about as easily as you could create a controller in rails. This is big. for our mvp, we don't need to setup redis or rabbitmq nor deal with the headaches of configuring them in prod. I can create a pubsub worker that responds to events and broadcasts data to the users in real-time and stay completely within phoenix.

Of course it has its downsides. For one, its definitely not my language of choice if I was doing image processing or constraint solving. At some point, we are going to create other microservices that handle those kinds of tasks better and when it happens, we'll have to pull in rabbitmq or kafka. Obviously phoenix can't have isomorphic apps like you would find with clojure and javascript.

TLDR: if you're trying to do something really novel, go with clojure. Its a much more flexible language with some really neat libraries that you'll need to learn to integrate yourself. If what you're doing is CRUD but with realtime, elixir will give you a great base ecosystem with sensible defaults to get off the ground fast.
In the indictment, there is a quote from Murray that states “I am arguably the most read journalist in Scotland”.
About a year ago I went further into this rabbit hole and right now I think I am on a re-iteration of a system I have not changed in about 4 months. It came to me after watching too much sci-fi that had clicky-clicky-typie-typie instant recall.

It occurred to me that every hack around history just nibbles at the edges probably because all of them are bolted on a design when the systems were slow. Systems now are fast and have good connectivity ( at least to themselves ) hence:

"All logins across all systems that have the same security domain share single common command history."

I use bash but it should be adoptable to anything. Here's how it works:

1. There's a database. I use redis because it is fast and has SETNX. [I may switch this to a redis queue to be able to archive commands as well.]

2. Using PROMPT_COMMAND variable I execute a function that pulls the last executed command using "history 1" and pushes it into the database. SETNX ensures that only a command that has not been seen before is stored. In the same transaction I trim the number of commands stored in the database to 5000.

3. Ctrl-R is bound to fetching last 5000 commands from the database, piping it into "peco" which I use with the selection line on a top ("fzf" does not support the top line so I don't use it here. "peco" does not support certain header skips/treatments, so i use "fzf" in other places )

4. On a failure to push into the database, system does nothing as the data is in a local history.

5. On a failure to pull from the database, system feeds the result of the local history into the "peco".

This system gives me ability to access the same command line history across my laptops, workstation, VMs, random Linux devices that i have running at home. Our ops-team uses it across all the monitoring workstations

It would be good if his trial was finished before Assange's one is resuming.

I found his depiction of the first part very interesting, and there were very few sources of information besides him.
It IMHO doesn't make sense to ask for "give me a preview as any JSON" - rather, you'd want a specific JSON based format for preview information (be it oEmbed-json, some json-serialization of og:-style data, jf2, ...), and thus want to ask for a content type specific to that.

Also, from a practical perspective: that approach is easy to implement by using existing tech. Attempting to introduce a new HTTP method is almost guaranteed to fail, both on a technical (getting support into all the things that process HTTP along the way) and the political (actually getting it in a standard) level.
For my supplemental essays, I wrote about the importance of PL theory for software engineering, where you want to design programming languages that increase programmer productivity and ensure correctness, therefore leading to less bugs (e.g. security holes) and a benefit to society. I basically tried to appeal to the applied motivation behind PL theory. I don't know if you would consider this to be a benevolent motivation, I mean, it's not reducing inequality or curing cancer or anything like that.
Well, there is also Tcl/Tk and some others, but they are all at most half as powerful as Qt. An interesting alternative could be Flutter; however, you have to write (at least) the GUI in Dart, which is not everyone's cup of tea.
I got to thinking more about this and posted an essay to my blog [1]. Looking back, I wonder if browser developers could have applied the algorithms that Tex uses and perhaps web pages would look slightly more elegant. We take for granted the world around us. Web browsers work a certain way; web pages display the same space between sentences as between words. We forget that many things we take for granted are the product of a social process (or “social practice” as Mao Tse-tung famously said). In this case, something you probably took for granted (and probably never even thought about), was the product of a brief discussion in the summer of 1993 among developers who each had their own beliefs about what was right and good. Reading the archives of the www-talk mailing list reveals how part of our world came to be.

How to crash the iPhone with a single Telugu character (2018)
I think this is actually a big advantage of these projects compared to previous smartphone attempts. They are not building a full new OS that developers will have to target; they're running a real, full GNU/Linux distro (GNU being relevant here, because busybox/linux has already been done inside Android).

So, while there will be some effort required to make gui programs work, libhandy supposedly makes this pretty easy. It's an order of magnitude less effort than porting an app from a different platform. Not to mention that everything CLI should Just Work -- this is not relevant to most mainstream users, but it's very relevant to the developer story; I think it's likely that FLOSS developers will start targeting these phones as soon as they become usable enough to developers. Personally, I'm planning to get a Librem 5 as soon as they're off backorder and there are reviews from non-affiliated parties (the latter might be now; I check every couple months and it's been about that long since I checked last).

Ask HN: What is the best way for a 3 year old kid to learn English ?
Hello HN,
I have a 3 year old cousin and i came across https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_period_hypothesis which says language learning is much easier for kids. I want my cousin to take advantage of this period to learn English from a native speaker. Are there any online resources structured for kids to pick up the language by listening to an instructor preferably with American accent with minimal help from the tutor ? I want to avoid tutoring from the parents as much as possible, as i fear she might acquire the thick accent and may not sound like native speaker. Thanks.

Covid 19 Exit strategy: from self-confinement to green zones
My apologies, I misinterpreted your remarks as saying plumbers were essential but not able to work. I was therefore defending plumbers necessity and showing their status based on it. Thank you for the clarification on your point for me.

I do agree with you. Those that are able to work now are certainly lucky (as long as the work allow proper social distancing) whether remote or essential.

My last point was on remote workers, especially those in tech which I am most familiar with, is that one should realize how pampered that role has become at the cost of others. Many of the new stresses those situations involve now with cooking and child care that was done by the service workers who are not essential and can not work remotely are the same stresses those service workers encounter all the time, not just in a pandemic situation. If one is able to work remotely now you should take this time to count your blessings and re-evaluate your own internal definition of struggle and what you are entitled to as part of society.

Also, as you may have alluded too, remote does not necessarily mean job security, rather it could be quite the opposite in the long term. It is times like these I wish I was a plumber.

Most of HN is shitting on popular things with a hot take and a smug condescending tone, usually erroneously. If Conical hadn’t tried new projects and failed, the poster would complain that they never innovate.

People complain like this because they have no real control of their own lives. It makes them feel smart, if only they were in control, then things would be better. It would be so easy, the people in charge must be stupid. It comes from a lack of experience and the inability to understand the challenges in those positions.

> When is the pandemic over? When does the pervasive testing stop?

When we stop seeing non-trivial numbers of test results. The idea that governments want to spend billions on mandatory virus testing outside every building until the end of the human race out of some Orwellian enjoyment of inconveniencing people is not supported by evidence. Even China isn't doing this.
Back in the real world, even the SARS vaccination research programmes, which cost relatively little and inconvenienced nobody, were shut down when SARS stopped circulating and the even keeping a few scientists employed as part of a pandemic task force looking out for the future was a step too far for the US govt.

I have a similar concern for med school applications. There are charts that clearly show African American and latino undergrads need much lower GPAs and MCAT scores to get into medical school than white and asian students. The data is telling us there is a premium placed on being a minority.

This could be due to needing more minority doctors in minority communities, to affirmative action, or to students' choices about where to apply. There is also a strong argument that we're in need of Spanish speaking doctors, therefore someone with that skill should be advantaged.

In the end, I think the best potential doctors should be chosen, and political machinations should stay out of selecting our nation's future professionals.
