Do sometimes get lost and wonder if I'm doing things in the most optimal way though, it's so powerful.
I'd be curious if anyone has used this and also used YNAB (and can compare them).

I'd put YNAB along with 1Password (and probably Fastmail) in the class of best single purpose pieces of software that I pay for.
Interesting concept.

If I had some advice - I clicked into a congress member's profile, and had no idea what to do next. I think you'll get more engagement if you have something more actionable there, like a button saying "Draft this representative!"
can you give recent examples?
The comment you answered to (and the part you quoted) doesn’t say anything about revenue. What are you answering to?
I run a ramen profitable SaaS and did this. I don't really have a comparable but I think it helped my product gain traction.

The problem is, the sexy keyword I used was an OSS product (my product is a wrapper over it) that was discontinued over the years. My domain+brand still references this product though I have moved over to the "modern" equivalent OSS version.

So now, I think my domain name is a liability, implying out of date/obsolete technology.

I do also own the equivalent domain name for the new OSS software, will use it for a v2. So if it's an industry you care about, keep up to date :)
If intelligence agencies want to play silly Spy vs. Spy games that's their problem, but they shouldn't bother civilians.
I would say a pretty large part of the internet user doesn't look at the domain when looking for something new in Google (they mainly see your headline, text snippets, logo and only then, maybe your domain).

Sure if your domain name looks erratic or otherwise won't they still notice but as long as your domain name is sane I don't think it did matter anymore at least not to a large degree.

Or at least that is what I think.

One exception are people which where "thought" about domains also got stuck in the way they see the internet. So if you target people between 35-50 it might still matter a bit more I guess).
I was about to say similar. My experiences with Google Support, even on their $500/mo. Gold plan, have been infuriating at best.

Even their product teams are just... Depressing. There was a support ticket open for TEN YEARS for people asking for WebSockets support on Google App Engine.

I often wind up with DevOps responsibilities, and I'd never recommend building more on them, and I'd help in every conceivable way to minimize money given to Google, in addition to aiding the transition to more reliable providers.

And on a more personal note... My husband recently tried recovering his email. He no longer had the password, the phone number he had it registered with was no longer owned by him (a major security issue, btw), so he tried his recovery email. And even after clicking the link from his recovery email, he was denied access, and sent to the same help page that couldn't be more unhelpful if someone actively tried. And there was no apparent way to contact support from that screen.

I hear tell of Gmail users who could reach Google support, but... We don't put much stock in those stories round these parts.

Moral of the story? Never trust Google with your emails, or other important information. Always make backups if you must continue using them, and forward your email to an email provider you trust (ideally one that you pay for, own, and has a decent support department of any kind).
Upon further review, I believe you are correct.
> Datalog is a declarative logic programming language that syntactically is a subset of Prolog.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datalog
I think the arguments are that there's a degree of security through obfuscation by forcing everything over a single common port (443), the transmission integrity benefits of TCP versus UDP protocols, and maybe just the overall simplicity of HTTPS as a protocol.
Why 1Password? I've tried it throughout the years, and IMO nothing has beat KeePass.
I just did this, and it's very easy. After you cancel, GH even puts up a multiple-choice "why did you cancel?" survey, and one of the options is "wanted to make a one-time donation".
Something that helped me -even if you get diagnosed and get a RX, you have no obligation to take those meds and can stop at any time. At first I was so wary that I was only taking one dose a week. Might be worth a shot, as the improvement to quality of life can be dramatic.
Very cool! Can you expand on the idea that it's just a single IR photodiode? This would get rid of visible atmospheric light, but wouldn't there still be residual IR light from the sun (whatever isn't absorbed by the atmosphere) interfering with collecting the light from stars?
Why is it bad to give the option to not pay for support you don't want? If they didn't charge separately for it, that means the cost is distributed to everyone in terms of higher costs for the service itself.

If you think support is always necessary, then just do the math yourself and add in the cost of support for every product, and use that price to determine if it is worth it or not.
FYI: Google doesn't choose what's the best content for you - we're not there yet. The advertiser chooses to target you. Let alone - they are completely oblivious to your relationship status or you having kids.
Only on HN can people question the existence of an app which has 50M users. Trello might not be this month's flavor but I'll be damned if it's not one of the most useful planning tools out there.
I was also an early Jet customer. I believe they did this for things they didn't have in stock.

I recall the Jet price sometimes even being cheaper than the Amazon price which was intersting.
I tracked my finances for a while with GnuCash and found myself in the category he describes here:

> If you’re happy with just knowing that your credit card balance is less than a certain amount each month, that’s great! You don’t need GnuCash.

I'm curious what fraction of people track personal finances versus those who don't. I don't know if I'm in a big majority, small majority, big minority, small minority, or what.

Do you track your personal finances? If so, in how much detail? Maybe it would make an interesting Ask HN.
Tax evasion is a crime. This is tax avoidance, which is not, and which we all do to varying degrees.
... this thing literally just downloads .exe files and then executes them. There's no dependency management.

Look at the firefox "package": https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/blob/master/manifes...

There isn't even any uninstall functionality.

This is a package manager as much as a piece of cardboard is a swiss army knife.

Even if you say "but it's a preview", there's just no where to go when your starting point is "execute some arbitrary binary". The point of packages is to be declarative as much as possible.
Clickbait and linkbait were new SEO tools in the late aughts.

Before the advent of this, most headlines tried to be relevant though with occasional good puns and pizazz.

But mostly The Enquirer and the Daily News were outliers and made fun of for their routine exaggerations.
What is a reason why that file would correspond to the actual sysctls in effect?
It's happening onMouseUp. Trying to copy the headline triggers that (after selecting the text), or simply clicking on it.

It seems the div has the same functionality as the X button. I assumed it was a mistake, but it's been so long now I wonder if it's intentional.
HN community is quite self selected. The average engineer I've met chose their career for the money and isn't interested in much that's not right in front of them
> seems to fundamentally misunderstand what the political process is supposed to accomplish. It's not about (or shouldn't be about) scoring points and winning.

Huh? The political process is definitely about scoring points and winning, and I'm not being cynical about the Trump era, there are centuries of human history that bare this out. Sometimes, "serving constituents" provides a practical path to scoring points and winning but this is not usually the case.

> McConnell is at the top of your leaderboard because he's driven by a naked lust for power, not because he's ever done anything right by his constituents.

I am not a "both sides are the same" person, but the only difference between McConnell and most politicians is the "naked" part, there is a reason why congress' approval ratings are consistently abysmal.
It would be unblockable too if they just had them as static images in the page. Unless you spent hours tailoring your filters and engaging in an arms race with the sysadmin, you wouldn't ever be able to win and correctly call an image an image and an ad an ad.
No, I use all sorts of things, depending on what I'm trying to accomplish.

I'd probably use SBCL or CCL for everything, if Lispwork' CAPI or something equivalent worked on them. I do use them when I don't need to build a GUI that I can easily port among platforms.

When I wrote a WYSIWIG text editor years ago, I did it with CCL because it was for my own use, and I didn't need it to run on platforms other than macOS. If I wrote a new version of it, I'd try to find a way to make it work across Windows and Linux, as well. (I can't use Lispworks for that because it's violates their license restrictions on distributing something that can be used as a Lisp development environment.)

I use other languages when I'm paid to, or when I want to do something that is a lot easier to do in another language. For example, I recently wrote a prototype of a web-based collaborative editor and publishing platform for shared documents. I chose Couchbase for storage, because it solves the sync problem reasonably well, and I used Clojure and Clojurescript with React and Reframe, because it worked well with the Couchbase Java SDK.

I've been paid to build prototypes, apps, tools, and system software with Lisp, Icon, ML, C, C++, Objective-C, Java, Python, Swift, Prolog, Haskell, Scheme, and other things. If I had a modern version of Ralph, I'd most likely use that. Failing that, Common Lisp is what I like best.
I'm not sure how taking the corporate rate to zero addresses any of the issues raised here.

The 16th amendment only authorizes an income tax. A tax on unrealized gains would likely be a "direct" tax, which makes it a non-starter.

So, if you take the corporate rate to zero and raise the capital gains rate, you will push any remaining dividends into buybacks. Because most equities are ultimately owned by households that don't need to sell shares to finance consumption, the result will be a dramatic reduction in tax revenues.

It is perfectly legitimate to argue that the US should collect less taxes, but if that's your point you should just come out and say it.

I agree with your broader point that buybacks are themselves neutral. Corporate leverage, however, is a serious problem that needs to be addressed.
>Think about that for a second. The German government confers more privacy rights on foreigners with no connection to their country whatsoever than the American government is even willing to extend to citizens.

And being German I'm proud of it. It's hard to make any rational case for why these rights which we take to be fundamental and vitally important ought to end at our borders.
Yeah I had hopes, but was skeptical that would be the case.
I gotta say my brain auto-correct those kind of things.
I've looked at that pool.com site a few times, out of idle curiosity. Every time I do so, I never fail to be amazed at the absolute mountain of complete junk domains that <someone> <somewhere> has registered.

They seem to fall into two categories; the "my cat walked over the keyboard" + <dot>com ones, like 342yfgtg.com and the "maybe if I add another word, I'll find a combo that's not been already registered" + <crappy new TLD> ones, like "topgoodholidaybargainsales.info"

It's all very well the author of the article coming up with a "buy great domain name > profit" get rich quick scheme. But it's a bit like those "how to make money online" articles which advise you to "start a blog about something lots of people will want to read". If having a good idea was all that was involved in getting rich quick, most of us would be millionaires.

Personally, I think the most of the new TLDs are complete junk. I did snap up a 4-letter<dot>bid one, when they first came out, purely because there was some stupid offer on where you got something like ten years for a few quid. But I only use it for testing random web stuff on. I don't think I'll ever do anything serious with it.

I am lucky enough however to have a 5-letter-real-word<dot>net one that I registered back in the 1990s which I use for my business site and my IRL name is unusual enough that I was also able to snap up myfirstname<dot>net and mysurname<dot>net a few years back as well. I tend to prefer <dot>net for my domains as I think it rolls off the tongue nicer than <dot>com.

Speculation-wise, I've registered a handful of domains over the years, in the vague hope I'd some day be able to sell them on when their 'subject matter' became popular, but nothing ever came of any of them and I ended up just letting them lapse as I'm too poor to keep renewing domains I don't use, on the off-chance.

I can barely remember what any of them were now. Apart from one which sticks in my mind; "genet-X.com" which I registered back when genetic engineering was just starting to get talked about in the news. I had high hopes that some thrusting new biotech company might spring up with that name and offer me untold riches for the domain. But no-one ever came a-knocking, bearing sacks of cash and I let that domain expire with all the rest and my dreams of riches!
>A couple of years ago, I got to watch the whole fiber installation process in action when I had Comcast Gigabit Pro installed in my house. Leaving aside the months it took to get county permitting, it took a team of guys a whole day to run it from the nearest splice point 1,700 feet to my neighborhood. Another half day to run it 200 feet to the pole by my house. Another half day to trench it under my driveway and into my basement. And another half day to install and configure the CPE.

That's an absurd amount of time. There must have been other considerations which made it unusual. When WCVT brought fiber to our area in Vermont it took maybe 5-6 hours to run the 1600 feet or so of our side road, and an extra hour for one house on the way with its own few hundred feet, using their larger scale trencher system + an air blaster if they needed to do a horizontal direct bore which could do 25-50' very quickly. Dig Safe had been by a day or two before just like for any normal ground work anyone would do, so all underground cables/pipes were already painted. The fiber ended up right at our place where we put it through a hole I drilled in the foundation. It wasn't any special ISP team either they had one of the local construction companies take care of the bulk part. Then one tech of theirs drove in, maybe 30 minutes tops to get that spliced and run to my rack. Then like, 5 minutes for the GPON CPE, max? They'd obviously done a proper job of calculating optical power attenuation ahead of time so no issues there. Seriously a -half a day- to install and configure CPE? That makes no sense at all, so it must be some Comcast thing, or something went wrong. GPON is binary, it's either within acceptable optical power range or not.

If you're counting anything LAN side beyond the fiber end point you shouldn't because that is completely independent from the WAN drop and represents an arbitrary amount of time that will be different for every customer.
The US requires due process where companies like Apple can (and do) fight the government in court where a judge must decide whether the request is lawful/constitutional. Can the same be said for the CCP? And even if such a court exists in the CCP, if a company did fight a data request from the CCP, would the executives then "disappear" never to be seen again or perhaps disappear and then show up months later apologizing profusely for being so wrong in not following the wishes of the CCP?
I'm in exactly the same spot with a (reasonably old 2017 model) Dell XPS.

Wayland with libinput has been a JOY to use compared to basically anything I've used in linux before.

I tried running an X based DE about 2 years ago on this machine and actually went back to running it in a VM in windows because the touchpad felt so shoddy.

No problems at all with the current setup. Can barely tell the different between my work Mac and the XPS.

From my view, this whole issue is resolved.
That $75K really caught my eye. I know that is ~$140K in today's dollars, but it still seems like a lowball number given: a) the amount of domain knowledge and research Maxis developers needed to do, b) that this game was intended to be a training tool for not just actual plant operators but non-technical staff, and c) Chervon's market cap and (I assume) massive budget for doing whatever they want.

Of course Maxis and its biz-sim division were relatively new, and the value of games and digital simulation much different than today, but I can't imagine that kind of corporate project today being agreed to for anything less than $300K (in 2020 dollars)
Chrome maintains a list of DNS providers known to support DNS-over-HTTPS. Chrome uses this list to match the user’s current DNS service provider with that provider’s DNS-over-HTTPS service, if the provider offers one. By keeping the user’s chosen provider, we can preserve any extra services offered by the DNS service provider, such as family-safe filtering, and therefore avoid breaking user expectations.

Secure DNS is a "same-provider DNS-over-HTTPS upgrade" approach, and it sounds like you're conflating it with a different design, where Chrome would talk to Google-run DNS servers?

Why is Microsoft so bad at naming things.
I understand not building software that can do almost anything, using it would just be programming. But why not build applications that can be extended? Instead of a whole separate product it’s something that’s installed on top of it. I can flip a switch and todo becomes lists. I feel like we engineers spend to much time building fine tuned integrations instead of extensible platforms.
In short, raw sockets can push bytes into the network card.

Whereas the commonly used socket functions recv/send construct the required headers for TCP, UDP and whatnot, they handle encapsulation/buffering/connection/etc so they're easy to use for developers, just read and write application data.

By nature raw sockets skip TCP/UDP libraries and a good chunk of the network kernel code. Including the place where the bug was located.
if this idea has merit (ironically enough) it means that ideas themselves are even weaker than one might expect in terms of startup outcomes.

however, i'm skeptical. i think there is a need for some early initial conditions for startup idea conceptualization that matter other than drawing a name out of a hat. perhaps its just a multiplier and pure execution wizardry can get you through anything by just doing lean startup methods. but i can't get past the idea that the best companies grow out of a seed that originates in deep domain knowledge, but then lets go of assumptions from that point and iterates with users from there. you're not gonna get that seed by just picking up a domain randomly. it feels to me like this is a worthy concept though for taking the idea of lean startups to its logical extent - if nothing else, respect the 'purity' of it conceptually.
I want to like GnuCash but I just can't. I have found the UI to be confusing. I still use a freeware, abandoned version of Microsoft Money: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=207...

The UI is still excellent. It is the only reason I have Windows installed on a spare computer. Despite never being updated, the principals of personal finance haven't changed that much.
To be clear: Solar panels in Factorio produce no pollution, but metal smelting produces huge amounts of it, and you have to smelt to do basically anything in the game.
To each his own. Windows isn't that awful these days and wrestling with Nvidia drivers on Linux is a PITA and entirely Nvidia's fault.

Their drivers on Windows aren't that great, either.

Exactly, if you're not doing anything interesting you'll never notice, but the second you step out of the distro's box and do something crazy like try and install a new version of software direct from the developer, install a second version for testing, or run software compiled 10 years ago, the world falls apart.

This is a great list of new social enterprises. Are you tracking what countries these social enterprises are in? I've noticed that the phrase social enterprise still isn't too popular in the US.
There's a minor but important point: the amount of work str() has to do depends on its input type. In particular, if arg.__str__() returns a string or a subtype of string or not a string, str() will call different tp_init functions. So we can't get rid of the args tuple until after the optimization of knowing that arg.__str__() returns an string (which is why I did them in that order). So I guess the condition is a little bit weaker than str(int) but it's more than str() of one arg.
