This is exactly why I pay for YNAB. As I'm going through all of these free options I'm wondering what support there is for sharing the information with my spouse and how much manual wrenching I'll have to do to make that work and what my less-technical spouse will have to put up with to work with it.

YNAB is drop-dead simple and available on all of our different platforms. Money well spent.

I've tried the equivalent feature in Powerpoint and I'm not impressed. I gave permission to edit to a colleague (it's either that or readonly, as far as I can see in SP), let her change it, then looked at the document again. "Show changes" lasted a few seconds and then disappeared, never to return. And I guess the Compare items will only come up if you have a different file? Just opening the same file from SP, they are all greyed out...

Absolutely not comparable to a github experience, as far as I can see.

>"The answer is: using the server's public key which is transmitted to client when establishing the connection."

This was true in SSH v1 which is ancient but in modern times v2 uses DH and the the server's pub key is only used to sign the DH parameters.
This raises the question: Is port scanning without consent a violation of the CFAA? Either it is legal, and researchers should face no repercussions for doing so, or it isn't and eBay is non-compliant with CFAA. I recall hearing about someone either being arrested or convicted due to port scanning a courthouse, but it was many years ago and I can't find the case with a cursory Google search.

I have to wonder what value eBay would get from port scanning its customers. Is it part of an attempt to detect bots/attackers? Is malware running on their server trying to determine if the client is likely vulnerable to some propagation method?

I think behind the scenes they keep log of some sort of fraud risk, e.g. geoip different from billing country, suddenly a new operating system, vnc/teamviewer running would probably flag your account (even for benign purposes, e.g. you can get your money back or purchase cancelled if that info can prove your transaction was actually unauthorized).

I worked on a ecommerce where the previous developers implemented a rudimentary "score" system like that so that suspicious orders would be put in queue for phone verification (this was pre gdpr)

Large factories can get 480V 3 phase power in the US, but even laundries and restaurants get 240V “split phase” which is technically still single phase, just two power lines that would normally be going to two houses instead going to the same place. We have a very wonky power grid here due to how early on it was built. The rest of the world had the ability to see our mistakes and fix them after WW2.

> I'd also point out that the current situation forces an "all or nothing" employment system. In Aus, if you're working part time you don't quality for any benefits, so the incentive to work while on unemployment is lowered.

Germany has a fundamentally different system. If you're unemployed, you can take a "mini job" or "midi job" (up to 405/1300 Euros respectively, they are lower maintenance for businesses and have no/low/blanket contributions to social security) and the first 100€ will not affect your benefits, only 80% of whatever you make on top of that will be considered. It does not really change anything, so that's apparently not what's holding people back.

Yeah, I don't buy the arguments here that Microsoft can extinguish Linux. Or would want to. Who's going to run Window's servers just to enable wsl? This is clearly targeted at developers coming back to windows on the PC, the aim is even stated as such to "enable IDEs" on wsl. I've ran arch, ubuntu and debian on my various systems, not because I want to but because they have the superior development environment in the terminal, outside of that Linux still feels janky and doesn't have any market share because of that.

Microsoft is making something I've wanted for a while, I can get Linux off my desktop and laptop do my development and my game playing on Windows and ssh into my servers for any heavy lifting. This sounds like it will be a great win for devs.
The modern form of EEE is buying OSS devlopers, who increasingly make excuses for Microsoft and proprietary extensions.

I think you are massively overestimating the importance of the US in Europe

I'm a European who lives in the US so I somewhat doubt that but it's possible. Mark Twain is a world-famous author and I'd go as far as to say that in many places in Europe he's a more canonical part of children's literature than he is in the US.

Here's an article that touches on some of that specifically for Germany:

>12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.

>If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot use, propagate or convey a covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not use, propagate or convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.

The important bit here is:

>If you cannot use, propagate or convey a covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not use, propagate or convey it at all.

That is what I mean to say when I say you have an out. As in, rather than SSPL'ing your whole stack, you can simply STOP using MongoDB, or any other SSPL'd software. Once you stop using MongoDB, then you are free not to SSPL the rest of your stack under clause 12. Under the SanDisk and Lasercomb cases, you couldn't simply un-agree to the license, because it was a software purchase, or a patent license respectively, but the SSPL is a license that is validated and invalidated and renewed automatically (see clause 8: Termination), and for which the acceptable, enforceable outcome of any litigation is always "stop providing the copyrighted work as a service".

>You can't just "run it if I wish" as you please

Name one thing I can't do with it. No, providing it as a service does not count, as I can do that, provided I manage the service with other SSPL'd code.

First off, congrats on launching! I've personally been working on something very similar for the last bit, and actually plan on launching very soon.

As other commenters have mentioned, this is a system which seems all-to-common to have built in house, and I think you've highlighted issues with that: it may be simple to get something basic working, but without a larger investment, it ends up being unstable and unmaintained.

It's been great seeing all of the similar solutions being launched over the past month, and the slight different ways that different players (you, Okteto, LayerCI, Release, FeaturePeek, etc) are approaching this issue. I see that what you have done is specifically focused on Docker, and purposely avoided Kubernetes. I think that gives you a niche space, along with Dockup (https://getdockup.com/), who I believe are taking the same approach.

I appreciate your focus on security and privacy, specifically around "can never seen your code", but I'm curious about this choice. Did you find that this was actually a concern that customers had? CI/CD platforms, which are kind of a neighbor of Continous Product Review tools (this is how I've been referring to this class of product internally), and have an implicit trust. I have not received much push-back about automated code access, and when that has been a concern, I've found that those individuals preferred to how everything in-house anyways (Gitlab, or Github Enterprise).

Do you have any sort of cost-control structure in place? Being a Github Action, I see this more as a library than a managed service, which also means you have less control/ability to monitor your users ephemeral environments, and I would hate to see the shutdown behaviour break, and suddenly ephemeral environments never go away and your user is left with an obnoxiously large AWS bill.

Overall, I love what you're doing to approach this space in a new way. If you'd like to chat about the space, my email is in my profile (I literally just added it, so hopefully it's visible :fingers-crossed:)

We fine-tuned GPT-2's 774M model using all seasons' South Park scripts. The result is a model that we can use to generate chats/conversations between South Park characters. If you've watched the show before, the characters' language style is extremely on point w.r.t. who they are in the show. Depending on the initial message fed into the conversation (either random, or from a live tweet) the conversation could sometimes be hilarious. Let us know what you think!
Do you mean the bottom left corner? That's what ReportLab (python PDF authoring package) uses. It kinda makes sense wrt the cartesian coordinate system where x coordinate increases to the right and the y coordinate increases upwards, thus the origin is at the bottom left.

Spot on. As with all things, Microsoft-of-the-time saw the web as a competitor to its products, not a new platform.

They actually could have built substantial portions of Office 365 (which is to say, cloud -first and -integrated Office) in the early 2000s, but tried to protect their legacy businesses.

It's nice to see them finally getting there, but Access-to-Web would still be a killer product for much of Enterprise, if they could solve the data source connectivity issues in a clean way for users.
Yeah, cowardly thieves are as common as rats.
Using DNS for parental controls is likely not very effective except for very young children. Most devices that you would give to children (anything from Apple, most Android devices, Chromebooks, Windows) offer parental controls that aren't as easy to circumvent and work on networks other than your home network. Of course, it might be good to use both as a sort of defense in depth.
How Private Equity Is Ruining American Health Care
Indeed. When the 1988 study was done, which resulted in the book of cow names among other things, there were about 360k cows in Norway total, and the average number of cows per farm was ~5.6.

These days the number has risen, IIRC around 35, though that's still quite a low number compared to larger countries I imagine. I'm pretty sure the variance is quite high however, with a fair number of farms with just a few cows dragging down the mean.

Not so much a killer feature, but I find that some actions in newer services are only possible to automate through Cloudformation (looking at you Workspaces), because of the time they take to open up the API.

For Workspaces it took them something like 2-3 years to release to the public API what you could do with Cloudformation
Interesting. It seems that "every second language" gets "type-classes" these days…

C++ added such feature, this above looks like a Python version, Rust has it, Scala had them as one of the first "OOP" languages.

It's nice to see that Haskell pioneered a very useful and now spreading language feature!
That article is weird.

> A year later, 11 of the 13 had roofs over their heads. (Some went to hostels; others to shelters.)

No, apparently the cost is the same, at least in the cases of those at shelters (I don't know who pays for the hostels), plus 50,000 pounds.

Don't get me wrong, it might still be a good idea, even if just nudges them to get into programs, not sleep on the street etc. But just pretending those programs don't cost money and it's therefore cheaper sounds so close to lying to me that I don't know how to tell the difference.

That's a fallacious argument. The fact that someone is doing something doesn't mean it's automatically legal.
People disliked Ribbon because it took a logical system geared towards power users (hierarchical menus) and replaced it with an organic system geared towards new users (usage-driven ordering).

There was no way that wasn't going to piss off a very vocal segment of users, and Microsoft, to their detriment, badly botched the messaging.
Clearly it’s an over-engineered solution, and there is no way the end result justifies the use of an expensive blur filter. However, just adjusting the radius and opacity would not produce the exact same effect, since the blur is not just blurring the shadow, but the whole <div>. This means that the background color (transparent) will mix with the shadow color. I’m guessing that’s not even intentional, because it’s a strange effect to seek out - a drop shadow that becomes lighter close to the object that is supposed to be blocking the light.

And even that effect should be possible to approximate with a regular box-shadow, by layering a white shadow on top of a transparent black.

For sake of argument, I think that the difference may be that if an artifact is stolen can be recovered. It may even continue to be available to researchers and the general public if it is stollen to be placed in a museum.

It is a much different scenario if an artifact is destroyed either intentionally or unintentionally.
