The plaintext accounting ecosystem as a whole is pretty great. Only thing however is that literally none of them comply with the XDG Base Directory Spec. So to have hledger with a web-ui and auto-importing for example means like 3-4 dotfiles littering the home directory.

An utterly specious response.

1. I'm not singling out anything but the subject. If you want a different response to compare it with, pick a different subject.

2. It's not venomous, and even if it were, it's irrelevant to everything here (quite the feat). You're supposed to show prejudice, venom with reason and/or evidence is not prejudice.

3. Since a) my point was not about a race and b) the subject is not a race, then it's not a racist argument. Far from it.

4. Hence, I'm not a racist. Or maybe I am but you certainly can't ascertain it from your fatuous logic nor anything I've written here.

5. Also hence, and however, you are an apologist.

You need to up your game.
> Our internet usage patterns have changed. Blogs still exist but we just stay in our Reddit/HN bubble and assume it's just wasteland outside of it.

I agree, but I also... don’t really know how to look for them anymore? Which I know sounds silly. Thinking back to some of my favorite blogs that I read in the early 2000s I found them via IRL word of mouth, Asking Jeeves random stuff, links from message boards, and interesting bloggers commenting on blogs I read.

Other than HN and some niche subreddits I guess I don’t really know how to find cool/unique content on the internet that someone hasn’t paid for me to stumble across. I periodically ask interesting people here if they have a blog but the answer is usually no. Maybe hnblogs.ycombinator.com is in the five year plan? As soon as someone figures out how to clone dang...
This is a serious misrepresentation of the actual content of the leaks, propagated by a gallery of pro-Assad freelance writers and regime mouthpieces. In fact, the "leaks" never seriously contradicted the OPCW's conclusion.
Has anyone seen anything specifically mentioned about an API? I did a quick search and didn't see anything mentioned, but if they integrated with 3rd party tools, either they have an API or they already programmed a feed scraping tool of some sort.

I suppose if there is an API, but they haven't released public documentation, it might be possible to find out details about many of the endpoint from WooCommerce's code.
I wonder if we'll see the day where not buying made-in-china is now racism against Chinese people. Anything goes in 2020 so it's possible!
Tips to Turn Negative Reviews into Positive Customer Experiences
There is DNS-over-TLS. The difference between DoH and DoT is that DoT runs over a distinct port, and can be trivially filtered by network operators. DoH was created specifically to run encrypted DNS over a transport that would require more intensive filtering to block. As an anti-censorship mechanism, it's imperfect, but it comes at little real cost (other than preventing operators from blocking encrypted DNS, which is the point).

DoT is, effectively, DoH with a kill switch.

It'e essentially a moot point at this point; DoH won.
>ibm needs to figure out how to get mainframe access for developers, only then will they see usage increase.

They already did, but seem to have a pathological aversion to actually publicizing it:

The link is great, for anyone else who enjoys taking mostly meaningless things way too seriously.

I take issue with greppability. Unnecessary as long as you can use regular expressions to search for whitespace bounded terms.
I would have told the customer to reduce the number by 1000 or whatever and closed the case.
If you just want to know what businesses you tend to spend money on, many credit cards in the US do this. E.g. Chase has pie charts showing dining vs travel vs utilities, etc.

If you want more fine grained data, you can download statements for the month or year to date, etc

If you want to see your net worth across every bank/brokerage over time you can use an app like weslthfront or personal capital
The opposite is true: most DoT advocacy comes from operators (and suppliers to those operators) who specifically and overtly intend to filter DNS.
I’m confused as to why the solution wasn’t to just replace the machine (preferably automatically) the first time it failed.
I mean, one of the top auction houses in the world assured them it had a spotless provenance.

What is "conspiratorial logic?"

Humans conspire _all the time_; the whole of human history is marked by innumerable conspiracies between humans to achieve shared goals.

Believing that it's possible for humans to conspire isn't wrong, it's rational.
It gets tougher knowing how much archaeology during the colonial period was essentially just looting.
Have you considered (if you’re in a position to) purchasing a tablet to use as an oversized trackpad? My Wacom has come in a handy a few times I didn’t want to use the pen and I forgot my mouse somewhere (my laptop trackpad is not great).
Seems like it would be reasonable to say "you know, if a header line gets to, say, 3.9GB, lets make the reasonable assumption there's something Not Right and punt it instead of keeping going to overflow".
I don't think I would have started rsync.net if the domain rsync.net had not been available.

It sounds ridiculous - a completely artificial stumbling block that would be easily hurdled ... and yet ... the entire basis of the business was a cloud storage platform that was so basic you could understand exactly how it worked just by seeing the domain name.

As an aside, I asked for, and received, explicit permission from the maintainers of the 'rsync' tool before launching and using the domain name ...
The only reason anyone ever cared transistor count is because that is a rough proxy for measuring speed.
He explicitly referred to Fallon Fox, saying "You are a fucking man." Not a very tactful way to speak about a transgender woman. And yes, that's transphobic speech.
> Spammers are such superb agents of Internet centralisation.

I think this is very close to the heart of why decentralization hasn't worked (yet?)

Try to design a decentralized system that is resistant to abuse, and really think through the loopholes as an attacker would.

It's very difficult.

Decentralization is little villages. Little villages are weak and they gain strength against their common enemies as they band together.

So there's a natural force toward centralization that isn't countered by anything but a lot of slogging through the engineering challenges of trying to make decentralization work.
Thanks for this! I could self teach and my work in the public sector would let me go on 1 year of unpaid leave to try out a software dev job.

In some sense though, just on a psychological level, I feel like I'd still have lingering doubts. That I'm just an amateur hacking away etc., and that my resume will just get screened out without a CS degree. How did you deal with that, if you experienced it? And would you mind giving a few details of what it is you do now? Thanks again for the encouraging comment.
Anyone that messes with them, better know what they are doing. 99% of the time they read about or heard about the setting somewhere and are blindly following along. I see this a lot with "performance improvements" when they should be looking other places like their web server configuration. Like why would you tweak those on a low end wordpress server?!
The immediate adversary DoH faces down is major US ISPs, most (all?) of whom monetize passive DNS. DoH breaks the tooling ISPs use to track their users. ISPs could escalate, but it would be expensive and legally questionable. In reality, DoH will probably permanently break ISP DNS adtech.

There are more exotic adversaries for a DNS lookup system, and against them you'd want something more rigorous than an immediate DNS fallback. But the short-term win is major.

In which history book does it say that Saudi Arabia is the birthplace of civilisation and muslims had anything to do with it ?

The OP was talking about advanced muslim civilisations when he obviously meant Persia, who were Zoroastrians. I use the word Persia to mean Iran / Iraq / Syria / Turkey and parts of central asia who were fairly advanced in the past and some are still advanced to this day.

Muslims did not invent and make anything. Even the so called islamic golden age was a direct result of brain drain from Persia. Arab muslims and Persian muslims are wildly different. Iran has long maintained their pre-islamic language and culture. It was because of Iran's resistance to becoming Arab that any golden age was at all possible. This rivalry persists to this day in the islamic world as Saudi Arabia vs Iran vs Turkey.

Well, to be fair, there are digital product marketplaces that are still essentially monopolies (DriveThru, Kindle). I doubt Facebook is going to take over those markets any time soon.
I use Wealthfront to handle this. It lets you do everything you described and can make recommendations based on your goals. You can play with things like "what if I moved to another city" and it'll tell you about housing costs, or "what if I took a 2-year sabbatical, could I still retire at 50?". I really value using them as a roboadvisor too, as someone who used to be addicted to Robinhood. I'm a huge fan.
> Anybody can go there to learn about, and then do, the kind of cutting-edge bench science—gene editing, synthetic biology—that is generally confined to well-funded academic institutions and private corporations.

Cool stuff! Can anyone who is more familiar comment on how "legit" these biospaces actually are? I also had the vague sense that cutting-edge biology is totally intractable outside of a very well-funded lab.
Nit: The TL;DR is what is called an introduction.
That's great to hear!

As mentioned, definitely make sure you're connected to the 5GHz hotspot if it's available -- it makes a big difference in my experience streaming a regular desktop with VirtualDesktop. Also as you might be aware, unlike regular 2.6GHz wifi, please remember that 5GHz signals don't penetrate objects (including walls, furniture) so your best bet to reduce potential lag (and thus nausea) is to make sure your Quest always line-of-sight to the router.
Disagreeing is fine, even though the science currently seems to support the current regulations. I won't take a side there. However, referring to Fallon Fox as "a man" is transphobic and borderline hate speech. I believe he did apologize for this, but do your research.
I'd like to hear Linus's thoughts on this particular issue.
I will never understand why people spend time on expense tracking spreadsheets and apps.

I mean, you’re the one spending money you already know what you spent it on... Your bank already has a history of transactions if you want to look at it.

Put 30% of your income in a savings account, the money for necessary bills in another account with auto-billing, and the rest for spending in a spending account.

I see so many people categorizing everything with spreadsheets and budget apps and I just ask myself... why? If you set aside savings and necessary expenses what’s the point of categorizing your spending?
You said “Costco” twice. The second time appears to be a typo.

Your local DNS filtering device can simply speak DoH; Pi-holes already do. That's a non-problem.
His position on transgender athletes is one thing... his referring to Fallon Fox as a man, saying "that's a fucking man" is disrespectful at the very least... I'd label that transphobic. People seem to forget that he said that.
It never occurred to me that this might be an option. Great idea. I wonder if credit cards have this too...

I've been downloading monthly statements manually and feeding them into my data woodchopper, but email sounds like a good alternative (or maybe complimentary?).
Assuming you mean Simulink rather than Matlab its not quite a direct alternative. You can use Modelica and Simulink for modeling the same type of problems but they use different modeling approaches. Simulink uses cuasal modeling, where signals flow via connections between individual blocks, transmitting values of individual variables from the output of one block to inputs of another block. Modelica uses acuasal modeling - in Modelica, individual components of the model describe the equations directly and by interconnecting individual components, the systems of equations become connected.

If you are looking for a direct open source causal modeling alternative to Simulink, then SciCos (www.scicos.org) is worth a look. I would recommed playing with both Open Modelica and SciCos to see which is the best fit for you.
Yes, Google is pushing DoH because, internally, in the AdWords division, they've broken elliptic curve DSA.
Interestingly, I seem to have had the opposite experience of many people in this thread. On windows, the touchpad driver uses this annoying tray application, defaults to "tap = click" (does anybody seriously like this behavior on trackpads with physical buttons?), and also includes some easy to trigger gestures I often hit causing my windows to do something stupid. On linux the drivers have always "just worked", felt like similar mouse movement/scrolling to windows, and didn't come with tap to click or gestures I never used.
Tachyons, which I like a lot, is Atomic CSS, which means essentially things do what they say, like .red makes things red, or .ma0 sets a margin of 0. With Tachyons, you can define any look you want by adding these atomic styles to HTML elements. While that might be a lot of work if you style HTML by hand, it is not much of a chore if you are writing JavaScript code which defines widgets which you use by calling a function (like using Mithril, a favorite vdom UI building library). Occasionally you may use inline styles, or add some new atomic styles, or change existing Tachyons styles (like set a different shade of .red) to get a precise look -- but for the most part, Tachyons styles cover most common cases.

By contrast (and not having used it) new.css seems to provide some basic styling to give some elements like input or summary a certain look which you may or may not like. New.css seems like a very lightweight (CSS-only) Bootstrap framework. If you don't like the specific look (including colors and margins) the designer chose for you, there is apparently no easy way to change it or go beyond it -- other than by the usual mechanisms of writing more CSS.

I like the Atomic CSS approach because, for what I do (mainly single-page apps) I just write JavaScript which generates HTML which is almost-entirely styled using existing Tachyons classes (which never collide). By contrast, most other CSS libraries (such as apparently new.css) expect you to write new CSS styles for HTML elements and also semantic CSS classes (e.g. .main-content) if you need something other than exactly what they provided, and so you have to be managing multiple stylesheets and their collisions.

Yeah, but it's also the place where most new things and trends come from.

Less now than in decades past, but still to a large degree.
Perhaps, I think that would be worth investigating.

You'll find that most athletes at the top are genetic outliers. There is already some unfairness towards those with low testosterone. However if you allow people that have lived long periods of time with high testosterone to complete against women who have not I suspect you'll find very few of those women ever make it to the top.
I know that this phrase was used way back in the early 90s. I suspect it was used before then as well.

I apologize. I thought that statement was inoffensive, but clearly I was wrong. I would edit it out if I could. Fortunately it seems not to have ignited the flamewar you anticipated, since none of the 36 replies other than your own have referenced it.

The main complaint seems to be that I didn't portray the full variety of statements that Rogan has made on this issue. I had listened to a recent podcast in which he claimed to make his definitive and comprehensive statement about this, but perhaps I shouldn't have taken his word for it.

I'll have to think about this more than I have.
I’m a Millennial and I’ll gladly use an iPad as my primary computer if it actually does everything a normal laptop can do. I honestly don’t see a difference in touch-based technology aptitude or dexterity between Millennials and Gen Z.
Microsoft's recent announced open-source Fluid framework sounds very similar to this - I wonder if that played into their decision to make this free.
The thing is -- and I realize the flaws in this argument before I even make it -- I would want to pay 5 cents for every article not to access it, but after I have read it. And it would have to be my decision: if I think it was a high quality article, well researched and reasoned about, perfect. If it turns out to be garbage though? I wouldn't want to pay.
Serious enterprises already manage all their endpoints directly, and control their DNS configurations. For that matter, they also run edge TLS proxies and push internal certs to all their machines, so they control HTTPS egress as well.

There are a couple security products that rely on monitoring DNS to function (the "passive DNS" products), and if you're one of those vendors, an industrywide shift to DoH is a real problem. But for everyone else, it's not so much a problem. The same enterprise people raising the alarm over DoH are the ones who tried to break TLS 1.3 to keep the non-forward-secure RSA handshake in the protocol, so their TLS sniffers would keep working. They adapted.
I feel like Dropbox Paper strikes a great balance. If you drop certain links in a Paper doc, like a Figma or Google Docs Spreadsheet, it will show either an iframe or screenshot read-only representation of the current content with a link to it.

My only beef with Dropbox Paper is their iOS apps are buggy as hell and have been for a few years. I really wish they’d invest more in their native apps.
-O is opt level 2, incidentally.

I saw it live. I remember it being crystal clear that he was talking about the context of someone's physical attributes when they are fighting. Maybe you should actually listen to someone before you call what they say "transphobic and borderline hate speech".
Thank you for the well done intro and the security risk implied with agent forwarding. I'd be curious how to actually sign with the ssh-agent as you mentioned it. I'd also like to know if when OS at login automatically decrypts the default private key, for later use e.g. pushing to github, what would be the risk? Would there be another preferred behaviour?
Here we go again :) Let's see if HN will crucify me for daring to compare a PCR machine to a slow cooker.

Also, look up OpenTrons. Lab automation is not glamorous work. There is no huge consumer market like 3D printers and drones to help push the price down. Even on the evangelism side, there has yet to be an "EEVBlog for biotechnology" (the closest are Thought Emporium and Josiah Zayner's channel). Perhaps this pandemic would change things. 80% of the expensive stuff are mostly imaging or spectrometry related. Most of the remain 20% are expensive because they are niche and proprietary, not necessarily because they are hard. There is no printer driver moment (Stallman et al.) to catalyze any mass change because, well, the entire society that brought up the poor postdoc using the printer sees nothing wrong in biomedical research being expensive and gatekept and that postdoc him/herself is a product of that system, otherwise he/she won't have made postdoc. A lot of things are niche and expensive, just ask those who had to work on video protocols like AV1. Yet they are available for free. There are a ton of biotechnology that requires, to use a gaming slang, "grinding", but are a magnitude easier than good video compression, instead they are all extremely out of reach for the casual practitioner. Just google "basal cell media". It is bread and butter of many labs but cost more than caviar. Think of bio instrumentation being like obscure fintech time series databases. They are not necessarily more difficult to build or engineer than anything else but are simply constrained by demand hence ridiculous pricing.

As for legitimacy of hackerspaces, I will frame it through your lens (from your username I am guessing that you are a quant). The FDA is essentially the SEC of anything biomed related. However it is not a true free market in the sense that anyone can enter. Hence legitimacy is a problem. The equivalent of FINRA accreditation is a PhD and/or medical school. Small independent traders are very much not a thing when it comes to biotech (which is what the various movements mentioned in the article is trying to change). Also people like Josiah Zayner are very unpopular because they upset the usual narrative about biohackers being unaccredited "they know not what they do" and merely attention-seeking stunt people.

More than that, because account management and dealing with billing problems is not free.
It seems extra strange for a giant company with really broad PR reach to announce they'll be providing a solution for a need you didn't know you had, but not yet, and in the meantime everyone will tell you that over here's a separate company who will already do it for you. Given the lack of MS product, it seems like this announcement would only help airtable.
