Oh I remember now. The CEO was an abused kid, who joined the KKK and stayed in it till he was about 19; then gradually left. Then 32 years passed.

I am willing to believe 3 decades is enough to change a man. HNs response was also tempered by the fact that many posters are young, so when this man committed his crimes they were not even born.

Throw in the fact that he is Jewish and still joined the KKK, and you can see why some decided he was a deluded or tricked child who escaped the KKK clutches rather than someone who would continue to harbor self-hate for 3 decades, acting as a sleeper agent.

This case now, is about the present day. The researcher can’t claim that any faults are merely past transgressions she has moved beyond. Nor can anyone say they don’t understand the time period this is occurring in (as the time period is now).

Edit:

In the above I reference the KKK, but the CEO was actually a neo Nazi. Same hate. Different clothing.
I also wasn't super sure about sticking "simple" in the title, but while writing this article and going through the GnuCash setup steps, I actually started to feel like it was appropriate.

As another commenter mentioned, I think that the "complicated" part of using GnuCash is understanding double-entry bookkeeping, which is why I devoted so much time in the article trying to explain it in concrete terms. My intention here isn't necessarily to steer people to GnuCash itself (I'm learning about a lot of alternatives from these comments), but to simplify the core underlying concepts. Not sure if I achieved that, but I tried!

Isn't the need for aggregators a failure of search engines? To the credit of Google, as much as I disdain them, combating SEO spam is a hard problem. I think that blogging feels "dead" because of SEO spam and because ads pay for jack shit these days.
You may be interested in the CityBound project.

It's fairly early on, but it's a multiplayer SimCity like game. One of the express goals is to simulate individual people/families on up to markets and such. I think the project's ideals will resonate with you; the developer wanted a game where people could cooperate to manage a complex system, and learn about system dynamics through play, which is (I presume) the role SimCity played in their life.

It's architecture is also pretty interesting. tl;dr they use an actor architecture to seamless transitions between single and multiplayer.

In general, whistleblowers should be attended to, due consideration should be given to what they are risking.

But if you're going to do it, you need to build up a case and make it carefully and dispassionately, and above all maintain your professionalism. This reads more like a divorce proceeding.

The point about Japan is not so much that it has a declining population, but that it has a decline population of working age people.

And my point about the US is the same[0]. Rather than aiming to keep the population size stable, I'd think goals should be around the size of the working age population, and around a level of growth that's required for the US economy to grow.

I do take your point about the number of people on the planet, but I don't think it's really an issue outside of developing nations.

I see this as a good move too. I've only recently had to start re-using Facebook just because so many of our local restaurants have been posting information about new hours or menus, etc (covid-related changes) only on their FB page. Even for those businesses that have a separate web site (and domain), they most often publish updates to only FB. It would make sense for FB to formalize this de-facto relationship.
I can’t really speak to the security of the desktop components, but I just wanted to chime in and say that I tried the same thing recently. I use KDE, and the version that ships on OpenBSD is old. From what I get, if you want KDE you use FreeBSD, and if you want Gnome you use OpenBSD.
Each month, 3 billion people (de-duped) use one of Facebook's products.
How can developers leverage Facebook/Insta shops for business opportunities?
I think it's pretty clear what was meant even if it might not technically be a minority/majority.

For the markets that Facebook is common in, it has enough of a user base that it can be an all-in-one for a small business.
I actually agree with the beginning part of your comment, but then it makes much more sense to me that she was fired for political reasons. Pissing someone off or making them look bad is one of the few ways I see a fast firing happening in government these days.

It seems like they did this for SpaceChain, which I had never heard of before. I read their information, taking about combining blockchain-technology and satellites, and I'm still very confused. Other than buzzwords, what is this actual business and why is the blockchain necessary here? dApps in Space? What? Why?
FB as in Facebook, excluding Instagram, which has traditionally been positioned as more of a open platform of discovery.

You're seeking for Dolphin or similar in a container, Guacamole for remote desktop.

These should at least get you pointed right.
Yes, user interface. I'll take a look at your app!

EDIT: Unfortunately, my company is heavily invested in Office 365 (Teams and friends) and we use our Azure AD logins for everything. Emvi seems to integrate Google credentials only. However, your product looks amazing! That's exactly what I'm looking for. I'll be sure to keep an eye on it for when it starts supporting Microsoft (i.e. Teams) logins or when (if) my company migrates to Google in the future :)
I was an avid GnuCash user for a year or two in grad school, keeping track of my finances using GnuCash Mobile on my android phone. Then I bought a new phone and exported my finances database. When I loaded it into my new phone, I found the xml had been corrupted.

That was a sad day because I'd like to use an offline finance tracker on my phone.

BTW GnuCashMobile is not GnuCash, it's some third party android app.

The big news here is Google support engineer solves ANY problem. I can never get through to them. That’s the downside to a fully automated support system, no humans.
Lay-people don’t really dig into the data and don’t compare i dates for changing stats. Tracking deaths by date of occurrence is much more useful than date of report, even if it means that you have to restate figures sometimes. We see that happen a lot with economic figures where they restart the previous month or quarter’s stats.
You mean that at the start they paid drivers a lot, because there weren't that many, and now that there are lots of drivers available, they reduced the pay?

Sounds like supply and demand working as it should to me.

If you want a job where you can work when you want, this is what happens. You don't have a "off" switch. This is not unique to Uber.

This is exactly what made me switch away from ledger. I thought that a command-line/plaintext only workflow would be great, because that's what I usually prefer. However, a GUI + autocomplete just ended up being way more useable for me in this case.
A box isn't text. Why don't you give it a whirl.
Some times you need to do a bit of percussive problem solving, and battery powered tools are heavy, so you do what you gotta do.
You are right, wikipedia: According to Apple Confidential by Owen W. Linzmayer, the original code name for the Dylan project was Ralph, for Ralph Ellison, author of the novel Invisible Man, to reflect its status as a secret research project.
It's not a red herring. Those advanced options still need to be tested and maintained. If no one tests and maintains those options, they will break and users will complain again and you're right back where you started. The idea is that it's better to just remove them instead of creating a false expectation that they're going to work. I personally would agree with that decision, at least in this case anyway.

Records-per-staff is certainly an issue, but in fact the problem is much more severe.

A great deal of the value of the Airtable comes from having multiple sheets in a single base. Put another way, the value comes from the ability to maintain relationships of data.

So those 10 or 100 staff aren't just entering individual items. They are, say, adding project information--ideas, bugs, tasks, managing the next sprint. Every additional bit of information you add to Airtable compounds the problem.

Airtable is the only data management tool I've ever seen that punishes users for storing more data.

Etymology says that "interpreter" is made of "inter-" (between) and "-pretium" (price, value, worth, merit).
So an interpret is a middle man/woman whose merit is to help people communicate, I guess.

For interpreted languages, there are indeed two interpreters: the one that translates from source to bytecode (or whatever technique the implementation uses) - in Forth it is called the "outer interpreter' - and the one who translates bytecode to machine code (in Forth it is called the "inner interpreter").

That distinction between those two interpreters allows to understand, for instance, how you can "run" Lisp by compiling Lua bytecode.

"Runtime" is to me a fuzzy word, similar to "frameworks" that are actually just libraries. I am not in position to be a terminology Nazi but I think there's some misuse sometimes. To me the runtime of a language is everything the "inner interpreter" does. This includes "bytecode dispatch" and indeed, garbage collection but also more trivial things like performing the additions the user asks for.
> I'm not sure why we're harping on The Times.

Because '10% of a core and 200 MB of ram' just to read a few headlines is obscene, and slack being even worse doesn't make the NYT's bloat less obscene.

With my uBO/uMatrix settings, about:performance in firefox reports that the nytimes.com homepage takes 7.9 MB of ram (and immeasurably little CPU time, because I disabled javascript.) https://lite.cnn.com/en/ is better insofar as it takes 2.6 MB of ram.
Just read on Wikipedia[1] that the Chinese Communist Party raided computer stores back in 1996 that sold Windows 95 because the OS contained text input software with the “communist bandit” word in its dictionary. Microsoft had to temporarily halt sales because of the incident.

Audit logging for DNS is generally poorly done. When Vixie's hair was on fire about DoH last summer I wrote this: https://github.com/m3047/shodohflo/

Look in app/ for a screenshot. Needs access to a recursive resolver compiled with support for Dnstap. If you've never paid attention to DNS or used web console (in Firefox) tools, I suspect you're in for a surprise.

Haven't tried it with DoT, I imagine that Dnstap would lose visibility for deciding which client to attribute the traffic to.

(The DNS agent is performant enough for full visibility into a workgroup of 50-100 people.)
sounds encouraging
What are you basing this on? Certainly not the Florida state government's official position and activities thus far.

Withholding information on nursing home cases, interfering with media law firms, refusing coroners to release any information so far.

But now, apparently, "she's doing it wrong; we just want to make sure accurate and complete numbers get out to the public".

Fleeting suspicion, indeed.
I have, for over 10 years. Nobody ever promised me as an entrepreneur it would be a fun and secure ride start to finish. It wasn't, yet I am very happy and content.

For those who do not like the "risky" nature of it there are stable careers to choose from with monthly paychecks and health insurance.

First subtract China where it isn't available and you're down to a possible market of 6.35 Billion. But then start subtracting the number of children in the world, the number too poor to spend any money on anything FB would be selling or advertising and random other places where it might be blocked.
There are lots of support engineers around, you just need to pay Google to use up their time.
Facebook is like LinkedIn. Everyone has an account, but not everyone cares about theirs.

You keep your Facebook account for the rare occasion that it’s useful. I logged into mine to keep up with old friends during covid, rather than waiting for reunions to find out if someone died.
How very different is it when the order that was refused to be carried out was lying? In this scenario, someone was fired for effectively not lying. For that person to then make the claim that one could reasonably expect their successor to do the lying they were unwilling to carry out is only logical if they wanted to keep the job. Sure, perhaps calling them "liars" is harsh diction. But what's unprofessional is firing an employee because of their integrity in regards to the truth, especially pertaining to public safety
The more low hanging fruit these companies pluck, the more obvious it becomes how much of the internet wants to be connected to real identities.

Facebook is largely a real person <-> online person connector and a very crude version of everyday items such as photographs, calendars, small shops, etc.

Except computers lift the constraint of copying being expensive in the real world, while the internet lifts the constraint of copied object being expensive and slow to move around.

While Amazon provides inventory and delivery infrastructure to businesses and an internet storefront for customers, Facebook hardly provides anything that isn't trivial to copy - they rely solely on network effects and as a result - can largely be seen as a middleman parasite, worthy of extermination.
Do you know about Facebook Watch, their streaming service with real original TV shows? Their switch from 'just' a social network was years and years ago
Ah good. Well what language do you need then? As I said we support English and German. The articles you write can be multilingual.
Hm, unlike classifieds, shopping is not a social activity, in fact most ppl would not like their friends to know what they re purchasing.

And the shops would need to either duplicate inventory or lock it in facebook.

They 've tried this before, and failed

I love this. But when I went to sign up, I discovered that it would cost $19 a month.

If I'd known up front that it would cost, it would have been less of a shock. As it stands, that killed my buy in, at least for now.
I hear that that explanation a lot.

I'm not sure I buy it.

As for why:

1. I don't have much data except myself but I can't remember buying from those ads.

I can remember smiling at them a lot though.

2. That wouldn't explain why I get ads for the exact same product I bought.

Here's another argument I remember from marketing at engineering school:

Some marketing is justified even after the customer has bought -especially with expensive items - to make them feel like they did the right thing (which in turn should make them less likely to return it.)
The configuration management does whatever you tell it to. In this case, it's your responsibility to ensure that sysctl.conf is exhaustive, and there are ways to ensure that it is. If anyone applies changes on the side, they will be reverted on the next pass. Not saying it's easy, but it's not non-trivial. Making this exhaustive with /proc is another story.

Unfortunately, this is the only way until kernel folks start agreeing that random mutability is a good thing. Right now, the kernel has way too many mutation points, and it's not (as far as I know) possible to ask it for a "diff" against the defaults.

Yep, Apple really nailed it with that choice. Not only can you use GUI key combos in the terminal, but also you can use terminal line editing key combos in the GUI. That's something that seems like it ought to be possible in Linux, but afaik it is not.
This. Interests cannot be aligned if they get equity. That changes the game completely.

I run a SAAS and some of our very early customers have become almost a sales person for our company. They recommend us all the time to people they think could be good fit for us and they also are more than happy to be a reference for new prospects. We are happy to give them additional discounts, free customizations (our saas is customizable) etc and keep them happy.

I would focus on making this early customer very happy and keeping the focus on solving their problem. It seems like they are trying to kill 2 birds with 1 stone and that would mess things up. Never mix customer and equity.
"I don't think it changed at all. It's not like the old bloggers became marketing bloggers"

The old bloggers all just moved on. Or at least the vast majority of them did. The number of terrible blogs are legion.

Everyone has a motivation for the things they do, and a lot of the time the motivation for a blog is professional credibility/development, and for the self-employed, more directly in "leads" and good business.

Neither works out. After your dozen-th time on the front-page of HN you realize it works the same as always -- a lot of passing, casual readers who might find the content exemplary but...eh. There was a time when those people would become regulars because you showed that you make good content, but it's just unnecessary now. Just watch HN and Reddit and if they make something good again, maybe it'll appear there.
That doesn't make sense to me. It's easier to get a new job if you just spin it as a shift in business need & don't look like a troublemaker. Who wants to hire someone who'll think about what they're doing and push back on apparently politically-motivated requests? Nah -- going public with this is a PR disaster for her next job; she should have stayed quiet.
Well, exactly, they are their own best customer. Contract fab was just a way to fill capacity in a lull period. So there was never a strong motivator to make sacrifices to build a great contract fab program.
No, but that was the context of my comment.
Done, thanks again for the suggestion. It'll break the links in the main post temporarily, but hopefully dang can rescue it.

Edit: decided to throw in some redirects instead, should work well.
Nice idea, but for better or worse I equate Notion with work. So, I would rather not be reminded of work when organizing my personal life.
I would be interested in seeing the performance difference for f"{i}". My intuition is that it would be faster.
I'd expect the Comcast lobbyists to go into overdrive to get this decision overturned. Also, I'd expect them to file a lawsuit against the state government of VT in a similar desired outcome. This would lead to the domino effect if it were allowed to occur.
> So really, if I rewrote it in C++ using the most blisteringly fast JSON library I could find, it would just mean the program will spend more time blocking on gcov's output.

Until the day when clang starts outputting gcov at 30x the rate GCC does it, and then fastcov will become the bottleneck.
That said, I'm an user and it is much better than lcov so thank you for it :-)
I fail to see how you actually disagree.
There’s an alternate universe where no assholes are allowed to progress, and someone is saying “If we let people be assholes, think of what great things they could accomplish”. And another (like the Evil Star Trek universe) where everyone is a gigantic asshole, and someone is saying “If we weren’t such assholes all the time, maybe we could still accomplish good things, and not hate each other”.

Is there anything special about the level of asshood we’re willing to put up with? Is this some kind of global maximum?

AFAICT, it’s merely a local maximum of “as big of an asshole as you can be without the general public realizing that you’re an asshole“. Maybe we should aspire to be better, and ask more of our leaders. That’s a pretty low bar.
If you read your own post, for you, the answer gives itself.
For managers and executives, maybe the answer is different?
