Privacy is an unlikely reason for them to cut ties with the 3rd party system. More likely, NYT is aiming to become the platform for other publishers.

They are in a perfectly competitive business. Anyone can write, and they do. We are reading this new on Axios, after all. What NYT still has is eyeballs, and as long as they can retain a reasonable system for exchanging eyeballs for dollars, they can recruit more journalists to keey writing.

Keeping their ad system in-house will also stop data-sharing with their 3rd parties, thus at least protecting their business in the short run. They are going head-to-head with Facebook.

That's a common problem. I spent a while contracting with an insurance company a decade or so ago, and one of my fellow developers was tasked with coding an "un-decease person" feature. It was non-trivial.

My experience with GPU accelerated development is quite horrible on Windows for anything other than the NVIDIA prepped docker container. There was always something missing or some drover was incompatible. In the long run I have always regretted developping Python on Windows, also often because whatever was developped was to be deployed on a Linux box.

I do not think it's purely windows to blame here though. It's only quite recently that NVIDIA started fixing their documentation and instructions on getting all the right CUDA CuDNN stuff running properly on a system.

The price gap I mentioned are for currency exchange shops. I am not sure if banks have similar policies. But banks' exchange rates are worse than forex shops anyway, so it may be a case of hidden margin.

With that in mind, I think the reason is that people buying Euros are planning to travel to Europe and spend their banknotes. And they probably are buying a couple hundred Euros, not thousands and thousands, just a bit of cash for peace of mind. They wouldn't want to be stuck with such large denominations, because it would be hard to spend them. If anyone is planning to move to Europe or invest in a European company or anything like that, they would use wire transfers, not banknotes. Banknotes are generally just for small amounts used by travellers. Thus, the demand for large banknotes is lower, which causes their price to be lower.

I wouldn't be surprised if forex shops have to send the majority of large EUR banknotes physically to Europe to deposit them into a bank account. That would explain the extra cost.
My understanding is that this is meant to become transparent to the user, that really this is about enablement of hardware acceleration within WSL, and that the typical Linux userland graphics APIs like OpenGL would layer on top. So the goal isn't to get you to link to libdx12 or whatever it is they have here, it's actually a piece that will be used by Mesa to provide accelerated GL for plain old Linux apps to use when running in WSL. It seems like the easiest bite off the apple was offscreen rendering and GPGPU functionality, but the MS devs seem willing to work with the kernel devs to rearch it so it fits into the typical Linux graphics stack ie DRI and other lower level systems. As far as I understand, this would be required for, say, Wayland to be able to have hardware acceleration when running in WSL.

I'm still piecing it all together, and I definitely feel that "Extend" feeling, but I'm not sure that's what's happening here. Looks more like a few devs at MS are trying to solve the GPU Accel use case for WSL...

> 0. Forget about tracking things down to the dollar, or even the tens of dollars. That level of precision is unnecessary. If a coffee here or there is going to break your budget, it's already broken and you need to go in to panic mode.

I'd suggest considering using a separate payment method for those things, and only those things, that you just think are going to be just a little expense here or there that doesn't need detailed tracking.

Track the total spent via that payment method every month on your budget. It's then easy to tell at a glance if you were right about not needing to track these things in detail or if you have missed some things that you should be tracking in detail.
I apologize if it seemed like a personal attack. That wasn't my intention. And I really do appreciate the fact that you guys have a privacy preference center.

If I ever start getting ads or requests for reviews or anything remotely related to someone selling something to me, as a personal message because of automated Facebook tools, I'd get myself and everyone I know off the platform in a matter of seconds.

On the other hand, for information requests they already have Whatsapp for businesses and it works fine, several luddites I know use it.
Ask HN: Skimlinks owe us $6k affiliate revenue and hasn't wire a cent in 2 years
Background: Run a social network. Been using skimlinks for outgoing links as another source of revenue

My bad: Should have noticed monthly payment stopped since 2018. A code refactor brought the issue to surface.

Their bad: We sent multiple support emails over the last three months. Even private messaged their CEO and official account on Twitter. CEO didn't respond. Official twitter gave us their standard response - "we are looking into it".

I am running out of options here. Should I file a small court claim? 6k is the ballpark amount shown on their own dashboard for payment history and affiliate cut. To their credit they did not delete those data. So the account keeps accruing revenue with no avenue to withdraw.
The result of std::to_string is defined to be the same as sprintf, so it depends on the current locale, which is global, mutable state, and initialized to the user's chosen value at runtime. That makes the optimization impossible to do safely without special knowledge about the locale functions.

The awful way that C hacked on locales via implicit global state has been a disaster, leading to both slow and broken code. If you want fast, predictable conversions between numbers and strings, you need to use std::to_chars. Or, std::format for localized conversions.
> In the west, we take fungibility for granted. [...] The fact that a dollar is worth the same in Los Angeles as it is in New York, or Vancouver as it is in Halifax, is worth celebrating.

That part isn’t really true, a dollar is worth much more or much less based on where you try and spend it. Purchasing power varies from city to city, state to state and province to province. In some places $1 will buy you 1 apple and in some places it’ll buy you a dozen apples.

In San Francisco you need 3000 dollars for a 1 bedroom apartment each month, in Fargo, ND you might spend $600.

What’s different between here and Yemen is that any two given dollar bills will buy you the same quantity of apples each in any given city.

Exactly this - I think internally there is a tussle on what is the strategic way forward.

There are so many - Elastic Beanstalk, ECS, EKS, ECS-on-Fargate, EKS-on-Fargate..and of course the huge marketing push for Serverless.

They could have the sensible way out and built EKS as the foundation of everything - makes total sense given the massive ecosystem around kubernetes. ECS and Fargate should be killed off.

https://cdk8s.io/ replaces Elastic Beanstalk ....but still basically runs on top of EKS.

The pairing of CDK8S and EKS are fundamentally enough for all usecases that AWS basically sells.
Craftsmanship-Rethinking the 4 Hour Work
Disclosure: a self-promoting plug. Have you heard about https://www.saashub.com. That's the product I'm working on. I'm trying to solve the same problem - a marketplace with as objective as possible software alternatives. The lists are based on an aggregation of articles and directory mentions from everywhere around the web. That makes it more difficult to skew the results. For example, one product might be subjectively promoted in one list; however, when you take the average of 10 lists, the best options will end up at the top.
I woke up today, checked Hacker News and saw Joe Rogan setup an exclusive deal with Spotify or more specifically, Spotify setup an exclusive deal with Joe Rogan. I was thinking about this thread all day. I've never listened to any of his podcasts because there's so many podcasts out there that I'm more interested in I just haven't gotten around to trying the Joe Rogan Experience. I like the idea of someone that just gets someone into a room and let's them speak from the heart or shoot from the hip about whatever their pet issue, policy, thing they are known for is, but I also have plenty of other discussion format podcasts I'm subscribed to and working through the backlog of.

Luminary by the way is one of those "we're going to do podcasting but it's not really podcasting because we're going to lock things up behind our paywall." kinds of "podcasting" apps. Think of it as Spotify but without the music or (I believe) without the free tier. Mind I've never signed up, but I remember there were a big story last year, or maybe it was the year before? Either way, they aspire to be the Spotify of Podcasts and Spotify is also trying to be the Spotify of Podcasts. I think Spotify is probably winning that exchange.

The strange thing is, a lot of these podcasts could probably get away with charging more directly if they wanted to. Joe Rogan has literally millions of fans, and charging for episodes isn't exactly incompatible with RSS. It just means you need to authenticate for access to the feed which is fine. I do that with TechMeme Ride Home subscribing to their ad-free feed. I think I'm paying $5 a month for that at the moment. I also pay for podcasts that don't have a premium feed per se and can be found in every podcast directory, but are products of news and political commentary organizations to which I pay a monthly or annual sum to support, primarily because I enjoy their podcasts (and newsletters) so much. I get access to their websites and dead tree print editions, but really it's the podcasts I find I like the most out of the deal and am happy to pay for just those.

And Joe Rogan is bigger than almost all of those, so selling out to Spotify to try to be the next Howard Stern feels a bit like he's selling himself short. Welp, we live in a free society with free markets and he's free to do that if he wants to. I get that he's a controversial figure for some, but so are Howard Stern and PewDiePie and last I checked, they're doing fine.
Good point, this is valid only if a merger or acquisition happens so we're not selling anything or using your data in any way to give/sell it to 3rd parties.
Well CUDA is only one thing. Especially in the python environment it's only a matter for time before you run in some wierd dependency issue that is Windows only. For example, getting XGBoost completely up and running on Windows requires you to either build it yourself or download a .dll from a university link. Installing it on Linux is just a proper pip install.

Also windows not having a build in C compiler makes you dependent on the horribly convoluted Visual Basic stack that seems to have a lot of dependencies for some python ML libraries. Docker makes it a lot better to run and I almost always deploy in a docker container because the ML modules I deliver are often interacted with as a black box with a REST API on top.
Yeah, I think MS should address this point. Airlie also asked if everything here is covered by Open Invention Network (OIN) of which Microsoft is a participant, and indeed I'm pretty sure it all has to be since that is the point of OIN. But the MS devs will now need to have legal sign off that it's all covered by OIN before they can respond in the affirmative. I assume that will take some time as these things usually do. Especially since this seems more like a bottom-up effort than something top-down managed

You know who else breaks norms? Alex Jones when he peddles lies and threatens lives for profit. He needs to play by society’s rules if he wants to play by society’s rules. You can’t just pick and choose which norms you’re entitled to. That’s called being an asshole and 10 times out of 10 you will be shown the door. There’s a reason no one cried over him getting the boot. It isn’t an indication of some chilling dystopia. It’s society operating as it should.

Thanks for the reply and the specifics. I don't know much about free speech as it was conceptualized in the U.S. Constitution, so I'm cribbing from the Wikipedia page [0]. With respect to Milton and Mill, the Wikipedia entry actually cites each in arguing for free speech and for limits to rights, respectively:

- "[Milton] Give me the liberty to know, to utter, and to argue freely according to conscience, above all liberties" (Areopagitica)

- "[Wikipedia] Freedom of speech and expression, therefore, may not be recognized as being absolute...Justifications for such include the harm principle, proposed by John Stuart Mill in On Liberty, which suggests that: 'the only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others.'"

I'm happy to defer to your knowledge of Milton and Mill if you think Wikipedia misquotes/decontextualizes the latter. That said, the reason why I prefer the U.S. Constitution as a starting point isn't just because of YouTube's location or because – as an American – that it's my default frame of reference. I prefer the First Amendment because unlike writings from Mill and Milton, it has actually been implemented as law in a successful government and society. You can dismiss the Constitution as a flawed document written by a bunch of connected white guys, but the fact is that – through original intent and living interpretation by the Supreme Court – it has weathered a far, far greater scope of human communication and freedom than Milton or Mill could ever imagine.

Putting aside personal preference, what's the justification for giving pre-Constitution philosophers greater or equal weight to the Constitution? Because they thought about things decades/centuries earlier? How were their thoughts proven in implementation, not just in their own time, but in all the epochs of societal and technological change since then?

Hi. PM on Windows & WSL here.

Imagine if you could run AI/ML apps and tools that are coded to take advantage of DirectML on Windows and/or atop DirectML via WSL.

Now you can run the tools you want and need in whichever environment you like ... on any (capable) GPU you like: You don't have to buy a particular vendor's GPU to run your code.

If you're old like me and remember the dark ol' days when games shipped with specific drivers for (early) GPU cards/chips, but failed to run at all if you didn't have one of the supported cards, you'll understand why this is a big deal.
That’s why the mint is adding one color at a time over decades. The $10s aren’t really green anymore.

What you just described is a leaky abstraction: you need to understand implementation details in order for it to make sense. Your overall point may be valid but the example seems in that sense to be poorly designed.

Show HN: Plato's Euthyphro Highly Abridged
SOCRATES: Then tell me, how do you define piety and impiety?...do you recollect that what I urged you to do was not to tell me about one or two of these many pious actions, but to describe the actual feature that makes all pious actions pious?

EUTHYPHRO: ...I should say that piety is what all the gods love, and that the opposite, what all the gods hate, is impiety.

SOCRATES:...Is what is pious loved by the gods because it is pious, or is it pious because it is loved?...Do we speak of things as carried and carrying, led and leading, seen and seeing? and do you understand that in all such pairs of terms each is different from the other, and in what way they are different?...So we don't see a thing because it is a seen thing, but...it is a seen thing because we see it...if anything is...acted upon in any way...it is not acted upon because it is the object of an action, but it is the object of an action because it is acted upon...isn't a loved thing...the object of some action?...
Then what is god-beloved is not the same as what is pious...Because we agree that what is pious is loved because it is pious, and not pious because it is loved...And...what is god-beloved is god-beloved because the gods love it, from the very fact of their loving it; and that they do not love it because it is god-beloved... But if what is god-beloved were identical with what is pious...then if what is pious were loved because it was pious, what is god-beloved would be loved because it is god-beloved...As it is, you can see that the relation between them is just the opposite; which shows that they are entirely different from each other.

They also seem like they might have more proven business models, which is important when you're relying on it for a core function of your business. The last thing you want is some fresh startup that craters and forces you to scramble to find and implement a replacement when they fail to close their next funding round and need to shutter things.
