This is why we need crypto
This study came out and showed how much it actually costs to send £100 using some UK banks. It's basically an advert for crypto.

This is how much it cost to send £100 to a US bank account that was in US dollars.

Revolut: £0
Starling: £0.70
Monzo: £1.89
Natwest: £3.17
Barclays: £3.49
First Direct: £4.72
HSBC: £8.72
Coop: £12.45
Lloyds: £13.99
Nationwide: £22.86
Metro bank: £28.77
Santander: £28.92

THIS. IS. WHY. WE. NEED. BITCOIN.

The scraping example seems poorly chosen. The original blog post describing that example is no longer online, but archive.org has a copy: https://web.archive.org/web/20180822034920/https://blog.sean...

If the author just wanted to fetch pages in parallel, they could have done better than 8 hours even on their own laptop (you can run more than one chromium process at a time). The real benefit they got from using AWS Lambda is that the requests weren't throttled or ghosted by Redfin, probably because the processes were running on enough different machines, with different IP addresses.
Eek, hadn’t thought about how motion blur might be desirable. That’s going to get messy.

Books on Automation Testing That You Should Read
Kubernetes is a proper noun, and thus always to be capitalized in English, while the "&" is a ligature of the Latin "et", the word for "and". Not sure why that would be jarring, it's all fine and correct English.
Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific could be free of Covid-19 pretty soon, so we'll get our own little bubble of safe travel. Looking forward to it.
Coverage doesn't mean correct behavior.

It's a vanity metric, which will prevent programming errors, such as not checking for null, division by zero.
I've seen so many instances of useless tests which don't actually test properly, but simply walk the lines.

Of course, for sqlite I assume the tests are very decent.
You are right! In our Delphi/Pascal community we have https://github.com/synopse/mORMot, which is a full client/server DB, remote ORM and RPC system based on top of SQLite.
> if you don't intend to become a weird coffee person black coffee is just not a pleasurable experience for most people.

Black coffee is the bomb. Don’t care if it’s Starbucks, Peet’s, FamilyMart, 7-11, it is the superior method of caffeine consumption, whether you like espresso, Americano or some other variety. I do not care about coffee snob stuff but coffee is best served black. Speaking personally.

This might be harmful to github pages where it would hide the repository name.
If they include this without offering an option to turn it off, I will quit using Chrome.
So Chrome is only showing the domain part now? Just like Safari has been for a long time?

Personally I quite like it. From what I understand the main goal is to make phishing attacks more clear to the user, since this is ultimately only a thing the end-user can protect against. Removing the noise definitely helps for that.

Having had it like this in Safari for a long time, I must say I greatly prefer this over the older behavior---the only time I care about a full URL is when I select it to copy it.
LeanFloat – a simplified version of the IEEE 754
"No quarter" wasn't in the essay. It was a tweet. Does "his editorial staff" review everything he tweets?

And should everything anyone says be given the worst possible interpretation, or should we, as in the Hacker News guidelines, "respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize."
Shouldn't it actually help, seeing as the domain name is the important part? Now users can't get tricked into interpreting the path as part of the domain name.
Ask HN: Has NLP Helped You?
I recently came across this book on shaping human behaviours - https://www.nlpco.com/nlp-the-essential-guide/

This looks very fascinating to me and I want to dive deeper into it. I have 2 questions:

1) Has NLP helped you? If yes, how and if No, why not?

2) Where to get further training on NLP and adopt it in regular course of life?
For phishing to work you need a similar domain if you want to maximize the conned people. Copying the path from the attacked website is the easiest part.

I can even argue that if you take away the path from the URL, then it's actually easier to spot a phishing website since all you see is the domain if you don't hover over the address bar.
On second thoughts, using a sub domain would make way more sense.
Don't think that would be the case. If anything it would only make the user focus on the domain to realize that it might not be legit.

No, because they never go on sale. They're stockpiled to preserve artificial market scarcity, instead of degrading the perceived value of the product by discounting it.
A couple of Google Chrome devs talk about the issues surrounding the readability of urls and their security implications and possible solutions in an episode of their podcast[0]. I think they make a compelling argument for hiding most of the url in part to prevent phishing however I do think they should allow this behaviour to be toggled via a flag.

Actually the opposite as _only_ the domain is fully visible
I did try IF before and I'm getting back to it now. Social aspect is the main reason for skipping breakfast, not the dinner for me
I've found mitmproxy (https://mitmproxy.org) in reverse mode really useful. I'm a mobile dev and when the backend work is still pending I usually mock the backend requirements by selectively patching or adding endpoint support, it can be used like so:

mitmproxy --mode reverse:https://my.privateapi.com -s ./path/to/mockscript.py

This allows me to implement most of the UI and server interactions w/o being blocked by server work.
This change visibly hides subdomains. On some domains subdomains represent different sites from different unrelated authors. That being said it is of trivial effort to clone a site to capture sensitive information hosted under any subdomain with a valid HTTPS certificate.
I recommend the blog of the OP, so many gems
Safari has an option to include the full URL. As a developer, I need the full URL so I turn on the option. If Chrome by some miracle actually goes through with this, I'll try to see if I can get around it (because at the end of the day, everyone uses chrome and chrome dev tools are by far the best).
I've used this: https://github.com/nock/nock worked great for tests.
Agreed. The rules of the 5:2 diet that I do are easy. There's no calculation or fudge factor. Just one simple rule:

If it's a Monday or Wednesday, no I can't eat it. Else, I can.

This works so much better for me than counting calories every day, the "cheating" is eliminated.
Making Python Integers Iterable
This, along with the inability of disabling the async dns feature in the latest Chrome for desktop versions (thus making pihole/adguard irrelevant), makes me accelerate the change to another browser.
At chrome://flags there is one called #omnibox-context-menu-show-full-urls, which I have turned on.

This enables you to right click on the address bar, and turn on the option "Always show full URLs". It will always shows the full URL including the protocol, but I suspect they will remove this flag at some point.
I guess Linux distros should start supplying patched Chromium then.
You've linked competing hardware encoding APIs which are not x264/x265.

x264/x265 are software encoding libraries for H264/H.265 video formats and don't really use hardware acceleration beyond SIMD instructions on CPUs. x264 is known for its great output quality while still being fast on x86 CPUs.
Personally I regained a lot of motivation by going subcontracting. It lights a fire under your butt.
For years I haven't been eating breakfast long before the IF craze. Mostly out of laziness. Buying all the ingredients, making sure they don't expire, preparing the food etc. is quite some time, so I gradually dropped the habit with no adverse effect. I live alone, but oh boy when people learned that I don't eat breakfast they'd get so defensive and try to tell me how unhealthy it was and how I must be underperforming because of that etc... I even got back to eating breakfast and intellectually felt good that now I'm more of a healthy normal person who does the socially acceptable normal things.

After all the IF articles I immediately went back to no breakfast with no guilt.

It's crazy how much of this stuff is in our head. The body is really really adaptive! If you get used to eating breakfast and suddenly skip it, you will feel like shit. But that doesn't mean your friend who never eats breakfast also goes through that every day. Or, if you always wake up at 9 AM, you may be shocked at those morning people who wake up at 4:30 AM. But probably if you followed their exact routine incl the evening routine, you'd find after a few weeks that it's not too bad. Surely there is a genetic component to it as well, but we underestimate the power of adaption and habits.

And most importantly, don't be so defensive when someone tells you about a strange habit of theirs while they are visibly healthy and well adjusted. Eating disorders and sudden drastic changes are of course cause for concern, but many people have a crabs in the bucket mentality and feel personally attacked when someone does something for their own health.

Five rules for note-taking while reading books
If it was just the company and Facebook dating together, nobody would mind - or care.

But the "incredible journey" startups, the ones built primarily to exit, are just bait&switch scams for their users. The users are enticed to enter a relationship with the startup, to build a part of their lives or their work around that startup, only for said startup to suddenly get bought out and the product/service cancelled, destroyed, or altered into a much worse and exploitative form.

I've personally seen this dance enough times, and I now refuse to consider depending on a service if I even suspect the founders are in for an exit, and not long-term business growth. I'll chose F(L)OSS alternative first, a stable company second, and a startup only if I can't afford to make the solution I need myself.
Wouldn't surprise me. Users are the product, what's to expect.
To be fair, if you are used to coffee with milk and sugar, black coffee tends to taste badly, in no small part because of simply eating how one is used to eating. This isn't special to coffee, just very noticeable in it.

If this is one's issue, though, the solution is pretty easy: Wean yourself off. I did such a thing, and it has probably been one of the best things I've done. The cream was the first to go, as I was putting so little in that it was a pain. Sugar eventually went the same way: less than a spoonful or a packet in a standard coffee cup. This was a more difficult transition, honestly, and the coffee tasted weird for a couple of weeks.
I've found Hasura to be great for this, maybe slightly more longer to set up but you get a full CRUD graphql setup for little effort.
I can see the arguments for why this might be advantageous security-wise. I just hope they make it easy to disable (and it remains possible to disable in future) for those of us who are technically minded and are able to read URLs.

Subdomains are part of the URI authority component so they should be shown. It will look like `something.github.io` or whatever.
Other comments are saying there's a flag (chrome://flags) to show the full URL, at least for now.

What is zero budget natural farming? (2019)
He couches all of his points in a painful separation/distinction. It's one of the main points of his op ed.

Is your brand of rhetoric here the reason why everyone feels like they have to belabor their points by "refreshing" a distinction every two paragraphs lest you forget? It's a weird amnesia, and I want to you consider the possibility that you want him to equate rioting with peaceful protesting because without that, you don't have much of a point.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I imagine your thought process is to read something like the quote someone brought in the sibling comment of mine. And you go "ah, a-ha ok so he did make a distinction". And then a few paragraphs later you switch 100% back into "but he probably didn't mean it right here! gotcha. ;D"

How else am I to interpret any of your comments in this thread?
> chrome dev tools are by far the best

How are they better than those in Firefox? It looks like you did a thorough analysis.
I just hope firefox doesn't follow this trend. It was too difficult for me to adjust to their "one click select all" address bar that I now use ctrl + L for address bar interactions.
A lot of these are too form over function for my tastes. They are very interesting to look at for the most part, but I'm not sure I'd like to live in a glass cube with everything on show, or in a brutalist mountain of concrete.
The one I would pick, however, is the "teletubby house" at the bottom of the article. It looks small, but strikes a good balance between art and practicality, to my mind.

thanks for your honest take.
Do you know if this information is somewhere more accessible than a 20 minute video?

Hiding the https and www is already frustrating enough, and this change would make Chrome barely usable for my purposes.
Isn't this a good example of "feature creep"? I dont see any reason why it makes a browser more useful when the URL is partially hidden.

It reminds me of a company which developed a product which was more or less done. So the SWE manager and the product manager made up new (pretty useless) features just to tell their bosses the devs are busy and the team must stay intact.
" It's actually thousands of dollars cheaper to build your own super computer from used rack mount servers than it is to use AWS, Azure, or Google cloud for lengthy computations."

The issue is 'total cost of ownership' - not 'unit cost of equipment'.

The operational cost and overhead of running your own gear can be prohibitive.

AWS is successful because it is in fact much cheaper than the alternative in many enterprise situations.
In that case: make sure you trust your registrar.

There was a story here a couple of weeks ago or something with a post mortem from someone who got their websites taken offline and access to their mail suspended or taken offline because some automated system at a giant corporation decided so.

It stayed offline for hours because there was no competent humans available with authority to override the clearly (AFAIK) stupid decision made by the system.

Personally a key takeaway from that (except not depending on said company) was to make sure one has at least two domains, preferably with two registrars, and make sure user generated content is not available on the one you depend on for email etc.
> We pay $600 per month per cabinet.

Still a world of difference between AWS's 10k/month cost to access that many cores.
In my experience, the cloud is so slow and expensive for these tasks that even if your job only runs once per day, you're better off getting a few affordable bare metal servers.

Plus, most tasks that only run occasionally tend to be not urgent, so instead of parallizing to 3000 concurrent executions, like the article suggests, you could just wait an hour instead.

Serverless is only useful if you have high load spikes that are rare but super urgent. In my opinion, that combination almost never happens.
www is dropped from the url, so I don't believe that's the case
Long time ago. Quest was developed way after that acquisition.
Even if it does help in some cases, it's hiding the path, which in itself could cause other vectors of attacks. Just host malicious pages on legit sites where you can host and phish for clicks to it, faking the home page look and feel.
Can we please focus on web assembly and convincing Apple to catch up?

There are no details to give, there never was a successful caries vaccine it’s just always been stuck at being worked on.

Big dental isn’t blocking it we just don’t have a good enough model and yes there isn’t a sufficient financial incentive to develop it really either.

Caries isn’t a big problem these days, it’s not then major cause of tooth problems as people grow older, dental hygiene and more importantly fluoride in water pretty much solved it for those population that were affected.

There is no financial reason to block a caries vaccine as it’s not going to have any impact on the industry, cosmetic and corrective procedures would still be just as in demand and gum disease is by far a bigger factor for tooth loss in adult patients than caries.

Not to mention that quite a lot of the “vaccines” weren’t traditional vaccines but rather replacement therapies where lacto acid producing bacteria would be replaced with strains that cannot produce it but can outcompete the lactobacillus flora in your mouth, these treatments are let’s say problematic since we have had little to no experience in flora replacement therapies and can’t predict or model the outcomes well.
Chrome is/has/was special-cased dropping the display of the "www." prefix, and that one only, for a while now.
That would be intranasally - not by IV. You get near 100% bioavailability by the IV route, a lot less by the nasal route.

Also, the bags of ketamine you buy on the street are not 100% ketamine.

And for most people who do a gram of street ket over an evening, they are doing small bumps over a periods of hours, not doing it all in one go.
Except it's not a piano roll.
Just to play the devil advocate, removing the url bar gives slightly more room to display the website.

Chrome dev tool used to be far better than any native alternative. Including Firefox, but Firefox has caught up. A tad too late as Firefox had, prior to chrome, the best native dev tool.
This is a well designed product. I really like it.

The last days I was working on my personal wiki/notetaking/knowledge management because it was bugging me, that everything needs a subscription and offered too much or not enough[1].

The biggest problem I have is finding/discovering my notes or snippets, especially if its scattered across services. For public notes it's easy, using `site:domain.com searchterm` in a search engine. For private notes/services it's harder.

Especially the discovery feature is quite important for me, to randomly find notes I forgot about (at the end, all notes are work in progress).

I tried to collect my thoughts about it here: https://marcus-obst.de/wiki/Notetaking

Yes, Chinese citizens do the bidding of the CCP or they or their families will be disappeared.

The courts are not independent of the CCP, so there is no recourse to whatever the CCP demands.

Can you explain why you think otherwise?

Are you just engaging in false equivalence of Chinese and US governments, or do you have another reason for your defense of the CCP?
Delicious breakfast gives me great mood boost for the rest of the day, so I prefer to skip dinner, or at least have it early enough to have at least 7 hours before sleep.
I've been doing IF for the past five years or so (after "discovering" it by myself) and lost about 30 kg in the process. I am a bulk eater and I still "binge" periodically. The kinds of food that I binge on have changed greatly though, and that's what worked for me. I switched to simpler food: non-starchy grains like buckwheat, kidney beans, vegetables and fruit, and this stuff: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quark_(dairy_product) . I dropped almost every kind of processed food (I am not an American though, and we never had the same level of dependence on processed foods anyway). I can't even eat sugar and candies anymore, they overflow my senses and taste like crap.
A heads up for those with lots of tabs open: This requires a browser restart, and setting it once seems to set it for all profiles.
Nah, they'll just fund your competitor as well, and pit you against each other to see who survives :).
Don't fool yourself, they won't do anything until most of the browser/apps do it. Then they will fix it to sell "longer" battery life.
The CCP has access to most of Zoom's developers, so they can direct them to do anything at any time.

Zoom's filings disclose that in fact.
I personally am not a fan of too many abstractions.

If the only reason for abstraction is testing, then mocking an interface seems like a more valid choice to me.
Just a list of amazon.in affiliate links (tag scrolltest-21).
Are we sure about this? I mean, wasn't "breakfast is the most important meal of the day" an advertising slogan to sell more?

Additionally: I think this probably has more to do with the person. My mother is outright miserable without breakfast, which makes sense. She is hungriest early in the day. She doesn't have much issue completely skipping dinner or eating very little the rest of the day. I'm the opposite. Eating too early means I simply eat more food that day - and I'm not even hungry the first hour or two that I'm awake. I don't see a point in eating when I'm not hungry, so I generally don't. It is much easier to simply skip food early in the day, snack on something small for lunch (cheese and bread, fruit, etc), and have a nice dinner.
