Enforcing rules of platform is not censorship. I don't care much if it was a coincidence - I did not say that, anyways. Even if a group of people had a videocall about it, it's not a conspiracy, merely a group of people had a call about a long standing issue and did something about it, which was absolutely well within their rights - even if completely random, which it wasn't. We used to have chats with other Minecraft server admins about some specific people ("griefers"), too - not even the griefer thought they had any right of access or that we "conspired", though.

Ask HN: How do you have meaningful conversations?
I have lately realized how many of my conversations are simply small talk, even with good friends. Whilst I don't usually object to talk about irrelevant gossip or other fun things, I find myself unable to start a more meaningful discussion, be it about politics, ethics, mental health or whatever else. What are your ways of ensuring that at least some of your discussions have a certain depth and thoughtfulness to them?
If you use pdf for making slides for a presentation, it is a legitimate use case to want some automatic animations or videos. It is actually possible, and adobe's viewer certainly supports it, but no program on linux does.

You could argue that we shouln't be using pdf for making slides in the first place, and maybe you are true. But if I want beautiful math typography (which is even more important than animations), all other options are sadly not up to par.

i’m super foggy on the details, but in a talk a few months before the shutdown the CSO from moderna said they add some sort of functional group to inhibit degradation. i believe it was more complicated than just “ligate something that endonucleases can’t bind” and there were interesting reasons why, but i bet this information is available somewhere since the slides were made for investors. again my memory is super unreliable but i was definitely wondering how they got around that before she addressed it
Good point. Thanks for bringing that up. I've edited my comment to bring context to my perspective.

Well worth watching. (Aside: the solver reminded me oddly of Professor Falcon.)

I recently stumbled upon an old article from the 80s addressing Japanese-American relations (https://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/1987...)

"HOW JAPAN PICKS AMERICA'S BRAINS Much of its economic success has been built on bought, borrowed, or stolen technology. Now U.S. companies are striking back -- but a two-way street is still far off.[...]"

I think it's pretty hilarious how every two decades the US apparently goes through some sort of geopolitical anxiety often combined with the fear of some Asian nation taking over the world with robots and technology. Even the recent sci-fi like Her and Westworld filming in China/Singapore reminds me of the Neo-Tokyo craze of the 80s and 90s.

Well, we all know how the American auto industry turned out after the US engaged in protectionism and shielded its industry from competition, so I can't wait to see what the outcome of this is in ~10 years.
It's more like an idea log where each entry is a lottery ticket. There's an abysmally small chance that someone will want the exact same domain name as yours and just happens to be able to offer you tons of money for it. This gets less likely over time as the short names get taken up.
In what way had the jobs failed? Very open-ended question :) but just coming from a hardware-diagnosis standpoint. (I guess the canonical answer is "here's the repair history," but yeah, duh.)

> engineers habitually run batch jobs with more replicas than there are machines

Idly curious, how do I parse parse this? It sounds like the same jobs are replicated to multiple machines as a sort of asynchronous, eventually-consistent lockstep arrangement?
I recently started increasing playback speed on many videos I watch. It's really hard at first, but I quickly got used to it, to the point where I now use an addon to increase playback speed to 3-6x where appropriate.

When there's something complicated, or something I want to enjoy and savior, I jump back and slow down.

This is an incredible time saver.

I got inspired to do this by observing a blind programmer use a screen reader with insane speeds.
Amazing read, but I disagree with this simplistic political conclusion:

> Second, at some point every tech company is going to have to make a choice between the U.S. and China. It is tempting to blame the tension between the two countries on Trump, but the truth is that China, particularly under Xi Jinping, has been significantly hardening its rhetoric and actions since before Trump was elected, and has been committed to not just catching but surpassing the U.S. in technology for years. There is a fundamental clash of values between the West and China, and it is clear that China is interested in exporting theirs. At some point everyone will be stuck in the middle, like TSMC, and Switzerland won’t be an option.

If Cold War has taught us anything, it’s that display of force didn’t yield anything. Dialogue and exporting values did.
So yes, absolutely: the escalation is Trump’s fault, because of the insufferable rhetoric of his warmongering hawks.
Xi Jinping is a way more tactical and dialogue oriented leader (not a positive judgement on official PRC values, of course) that is being defeated by the proverbial pigeon shitting on the board during a game of chess.
Decoupling from China is easily sellable as the anti-communist propaganda in the 50s, but the harsh reality is that in today’s world it means recklessly hammering pieces off of the global economy jenga tower, and hoping it will stay up.
Dialogue and severely regulated exchange with the potential enemy is the real weapon that could weaken China. Putting human rights on the table when it comes to trade treaties, for example. Instead, there’s a resurgence of scary nationalism that is exactly what brought the world on the brink of collapse 75 years ago.

That would be great news - something I asked for since the presentation of WSL - I just hope it uses the new graphics driver infrastructure, as the first implementation mentioned in your link seems to be using RDP, which is less efficient.
But if it does, that would be excellent news.
I find this a cynical take as far as EEE goes. But even with Microsofts mostly solid efforts into open source I find myself a bit skeptical as well.

Most recently with the Live Share extension for VS Code. From skimming the licensing it is only to be used with the Visual Studio family of products. Which is an incredibly disappointing approach.

I think this is simply about ML and GPU compute for WSL. And I think Microsoft is genuine in that it sees business value in doing open source work, integrating well with Linux, etc. But at the end of the day the business interests are there and different parts of the company can be motivated quite differently.

Some skepticism remains warranted.
Very interesting stuff. I wonder, did you try -1 (0xFFFFFFFF)?
> 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.

Yes and no. Late last year I did track everything to the cent (well, to the grosz, the fractional part of Polish złoty) and used ledger (the CLI double-entry accounting tool) to analyze it. My main discovery there was that most of our spending was so thoroughly distributed across every category that there was no easy wins to be had. Pretty much the only things we could do that weren't serious lifestyle changes involved garbage-collecting some subscriptions and instituting monthly limits on $favourite-foodstuffs. But before doing a high-granurality trace of expenses, I was sure there were trivial cuts to be made. Turns out, they weren't.

Doing this level of tracking is probably not sustainable in the long run (unless you're in emergency mode), but doing that for couple of months is a great opportunity to reevaluate all spending in your life.

I had to read your comment three times; it was unbelievable that somebody could ever hold such a revolting argument. You are saying that it is OK to keep large swaths of the population under the permanent menace of starvation, exposure and death from curable illnesses, lest they wouldn't have an incentive to pick your trash and serve you fast food. Dude, relax.
I feel this, I ended up writing a python script with a selenium browser to scrape the data off of my banks website so I could automatically insert it into my firefly-iii instance. Originally I had it going into a complicated google sheets spreadsheet. Only breaks three times a year for the last 7 years.
> I see so many people categorizing everything with spreadsheets and budget apps and I just ask myself... why?

I was saving 30% of my income per month, and wanted to save at least 50%. So I decided to measure my expending, and try to cut it off without actually impacting my quality of life.

I discovered that substantial parts of my expending were going to: warm and cold water (2x the national avg per person), electricity bill, take-away food, transportation, health insurance.

I changed all the water taps with ones with a lower volume rate "by default" (you have to go out of your way to open them to the max), replaced all bulbs with LEDs, decided to only go for take away once per week but get the nicest and most expensive one instead, bought a bike for commuting, and changed health insurance and electricity providers to similar ones, but much cheaper.

Those were minimal changes in lifestyle that bumped my saving ratio from 30% to 60%.

Without measuring, I would probably would have taken a bunch of random actions that would have impacted my lifestyle more, and not delivered such a big jump.

I don't routinely use these apps, but if you want to continuously optimize your expending, measuring it is step 0.

I'm not 100% sure about Homebrew, but Scoop uses the "portable" installers every time it's possible, trying to put all the files in a well defined position, controlled by Scoop itself. I think that Homebrew (not Cask) does a very similar thing.
What this Windows package manager does is running classical installers and there's absolutely no way to know exactly what the installer is going to do.
Homebrew Cask follows a similar approach, but thanks to how .app and .pkg work it's actually possible to manage the uninstallation quite well
It depends on the definition of lost. I would argue that an artefact is better protected in a museum in Washington DC rather than in a country in a state of civil war.

Then the debate isn't so much about being lost, but whether the artefact should be located in the country where it was originally created, thousands of years ago.

And I think you can see it both ways. I don't understand people who identify themselves to the population that lived on the same territory centuries ago. It is a different people, a different culture, and there might be some trace of that culture left (like there are traces of the roman empire culture left all over europe), there might be some artefacts, some monuments left. But they are really a foreign people to the current inabitants. So should St Mark's Basilica in venice be destroyed to return the looted parts to Turkey? Or should the Lyxor obelisk on the place de la Concorde in Paris be returned to Egypt? I don't think so.
Birrell and Ahmed's convictions seems to go too far, they didn't actual incite violence or criminal activity and I think that's an important line. Is 'I hope they die' reasonably interpretable as incitement to kill? I'd say no, but is it hate speech? I'd have to say yes so from a legalistic point of view the prosecutions may have been legitimate. The concept of hate speech is a slippery slope though.

On the Satanic Islam case, the guy was acquitted on all charges so I don't think that supports your argument.

Anyway thank you for your last comment. I agree some of these cases went too far, but that doesn't mean we're some kind of oppressive police state. Neither of the two people convicted in these cases deserve any sympathy, in a broader moral sense they deserved everything they got, but at the cost of an erosion of our civil liberty protections at the margins that I hope we don't come to regret.

There are tons of third-party doing this for you, and I'll just cite one because it makes sense here: https://www.budgea.com/. It's much like any other, except they're a commercial entity that was born out of an open source project called weboob (https://weboob.org/). That project aims at getting information out of website without having to use websites' javascript or restrictive APIs; it's still browsing the web, but not with a browser.

weboob has many capabilities, such as "listing messages" or "listening to music" and an important one is "getting financial information out of an account". Each capability is in the middle of 2 things:

- Applications, which want to implement a given capability; a basic one is boobank (https://weboob.org/applications/boobank) but you can write anything

- Modules, listed in the same page; a module is a website

The weboob project is completely open source and written in Python. If you use the boobank application you can use it to download and store all your financial transactions, and automate it as needed. As the example on the homepage shows, you can pipe it into munin (or any other graphing tool) and see the evolution in your accounts automatically.

We cull the very sick (because vets by and large don't know about chickens, and entering the vets cost about 3 times the cost of the chicken) and the roosters (because you really only need one per flock).

Other than that, they have space outside to roam, and we even have some "freeloaders" - hens that have become too old to lay, but we keep them on anyway.
It doesn't make much sense to say that an application written in C is faster than C (unless it includes a compiler and recompiles itself..).

Ok, well, they probably aren't using C today, but I doubt their implementation language is significantly faster than C.

Most people believe that their software won't be used for more than a couple of years at most, especially young people who (seem to) think companies just rewrite everything to the latest and greatest (currently js/react; tomorrow something else) every few years. So they are not thinking about 2 years let alone 20 years.

As someone who is maintaining products written (by me) 15 to 25 years ago, I know that I was absolutely wrong about that assumption. A company will not touch software if it works, no matter what the latest or greatest is and no matter if it looks like crap. I shudder to think, with JS projects breaking between minor versions of libraries, what happens if there is an issue 20 years from now... Egotistical really to use 'the latest and the greatest' and then just let 'the next person' live the pain of supporting that. You can say whatever about php and java but 20 year old code works fine with very minor changes; I have Node/JS code from 2 years ago that doesn't work anymore at all after security updates.

Doubly especially when you're a developer that can handle a proper API themselves, and do a better job at it than all the startups that will pop up to sell you a budget management service, nothankyou.

All these years I wanted a widget that would display three numbers and a graph on my phone's home page. A total sum of money on all my non-savings accounts across all banks, the amount I already spent today, and a "burndown graph" for the month showing how much of this month's income I've already spent. I can write that widget myself, and I will do a better job than any of the startups - by virtue of not needing to include tracking, telemetry, not needing to make it a webview rendering React because $multiplatform, etc. But I can't do this, because the API endpoints needed don't exist unless you're a company with a large enough budget to afford it.
