This is why we can't have nice things. I know it's old commits that got deleted now, but it makes me seriously doubt the devs.

Your initial estimation was probably right - the press just likes to emphasise the negative. We've already had more deadly and more obvious versions of Covid-19 in the form of SARS and MERS, and for the most part western countries just quietly stopped them using testing and contact tracing without most people even noticing. If Covid-19 was similar, there's every reason to believe that it would've ended the same way since pretty much everywhere put those same measures into place early on. You just didn't hear about it much because early on it wasn't of interest to the press, and later it made for an easier narrative to claim that countries inexplicably did nothing.
Right now one should have a significant position in gold/metals for a couple of years to hedge governments severely inflating their currencies to fight the crisis/reduce their obligations.

Quality stocks and real estate, typically hold their value as well during volatile times. Do not panic during short term crashes. These should be bought on ten-year+ time frames.

As things improve over the next few years you can start selling the gold and buying other hard assets again. If approaching retirement, it will be time to start moving into more conservative income options like dividend-stocks, bonds, etc.

The one thing you don't want to do now is leave a bunch of cash sitting around. It will get hammered.
Just so you know - you have cost me at least four hours of background cognitive potential so far, as I've had this on whilst I worked.
It's $400k, not $4m. OP still has to think about money if they want to live a median US lifestyle. Good stewardship of this windfall will give them more free time and independence in the future. Your objective is reasonable but your advice won't help OP.
Nut sure why this is also downvoted. Feel free to disagree. I have a PhD in a STEM field and live in China. I think my opinion has some value.

I’ve never received an offer from applying through a referral. All my jobs either came from using Hired or from blind resume submission. (3 of 5 we’re resume submission, 2 were through hired)

And all these jobs were in the last 7 years.

Resume submission does work. It’s not fun or great but for those who don’t have a great network, it is all you have.
As much as I agree and being from a "third world" country myself, I can still remember China banning Facebook and Google in 2009/2010. Everyone has had to bend over backwards to gain access to the Chinese market while giving them free reign to the rest of the world.
As someone who has been a partner in a fund in the past, I've done a solid amount of research, and for someone who is risk averse, one of the best strategies of the last 50 years has been 33% of your investment in real estate, 33% in hedge funds, and 33% in a portfolio balanced between stocks and bonds. I don't have the study on hand, and I also don't have the time to search for it, but doing research into the hedge fund field will probably yield this study. good luck

I think Blue Origin is more focused towards possibly building a lunar lander. The launches I have see were with comparable tiny rockets, unless they launch thousands of them, they won't carry the satellites needed in time. Curious to get more informed opinions on this actually.

It's absolutely maddening that this is not even uncommon. Doctors think they know best, definitely better than you, and will stand by their sometimes quite obviously idiotic conclusions, leaving you helpless. And in some countries with universal healthcare, it's a lot harder to just go find a better doctor. Screw the whole system. I've got more words to say, but I'll stop here.

I am sorry for what you're going through and wish you all the best.
yes pleasr
I think you're unintentionally proving my point.

Dietary supplements largely don't work, at all, and some of them are outright harmful. They basically do nothing, at best. So 75% of America probably, er, shouldn't. This is something a medical professional might tell you if you asked them. This visualization should help you understand the magnitude of just how little dietary supplements do -- it came up here on HN a while back as an example of a beautiful visualization [1].

Most multivitamins are totally worthless unless you're eating an incredibly poor diet. There's actually an association between multivitamin use and an increase in all-cause mortality [2] with a more pronounced effect in smokers [3].

So, I re-iterate, there's a reason these people went to school to become doctors.

It may also mean there are desperate landlords looking to sell. If you can deal with reduced/no rent for a year, there might be some great bargains maybe?
Ask HN: Dark Sky is gone. How can it be rebuild sustainably?
What I want: Weather applications on my smartphones without necessarily sharing my current location. If I do share my location, I don't want my location data to be sold or shared.

What else I want: Privacy respecting mobile applications for other use cases. But let's start with the weather.

I noticed today on my Android phone that Dark Sky was finally shut off and no longer received weather data. A few Google/DuckDuckBingo searches suggested there is no clear privacy oriented successor weather app with similar functionality. Any future successors that come from Kickstarter or cool startup kids will fall victim to the same scenario.

Are there any projects working on these areas now, like a 501(c)(3) that's both more modern and less rigid than the FSF? Billions of people just want to know the weather.
The problem is that historically this has been the case only when it was essentially too late.

I feel that this is going to turn into my daily HN post in defense of free speech. There's nothing that the name adds, it's stupid, it's silly, and it's juvenile. The authors themselves, in fact, seem to be racist shitbags[1]. But Debian essentially deplatforming it is absolutely not the right move here. I think protecting speech is a hill worth dying on, and even a despicable Neo-Nazi should have the same right to speech as me or you.

This is the reason I bought a Keiser bike instead of a Peloton, it has a simple display that works with Bluetooth sensors (I use my watch to record my sessions). I use the Peloton app in an iPad (I could pair the bike with the iPad app, but don't).

The bikes are about the same price, but the Keiser screen is a simple LCD display that's much cheaper to replace if it gets broken and is fully usuable without a subscription.

Plus, I think the bike looks better.

Yes, there is a lot more drive to conform just culturally, much less along the sense of "punk" or "rebellion" even in the cliche sense.
What do you mean? I'm from a country with universal healthcare, and you can just go see another doctor.
And that's a sentiment I can totally get behind.

To be clear, my point wasn't to put the responsibility entirely with the creators. It was about showing that if you reduce the discussion to "How can we get more people to donate/subscribe/like? We need some centralized platform with cutting edge tech to do it!" you're losing out in many ways, and you ignore a massive amount of murky, complex, long standing, socio-economic dynamics.

I tried skirting that last remark myself because it evokes strong emotions and tends to derail any meaningful discussion about this.

On a personal note, I think it's absolutely important that there's public funding for the arts, humanities and non-profit in general. But by the same token, it's fair to state that you can't expect society - a large group of individuals - to support anyone who starts producing and publishing content on social media full time, without question.
Long ago, I knew someone who had an undiagnosed brain tumor. Multiple Drs told her she was pregnant.
You realize that this strategy isn't going to work indefinitely? People like you will be blown out in the future. Sorry if that sounds awful, but it always astounds me how people think investment managers are tantamount to tea leaf readers, and that they've figured it out by simple dollar cost averaging. I just don't understand the mindset
The worst pandemic since the 1918 flu.

It is obvious that you like to read and know many things. Please research the reasons of the invasion. Innocent people and families (babies included) were killed by force, people were massacred. You can find pictures online, not that hard. You can still see the bullet holes in houses and bathtubs in Turkish houses.

I was personally sorry to see this phrase "If Turkey had not invaded Cyprus.."

No. Look at the cookbook application (http://weboob.org/applications/qcookboob). It incorporates multiple sources of recipes behind a single, consistent, tailor-made interface. This pattern repeats in the other applications. They are not taking a single website and transforming it into a native application. They are building applications to service specific domains that use the web as a data source.

They are also bringing web content into the command line. They have a large number of console applications. For example, there's a command and REPL for tracking shipments.

Putting aside the misunderstanding of what this actually is, the premise of your question seems to be that "simply replacing" one technology with another can't be "liberating." I think that's wrong in general as well for the specific example of transforming a web app to a native one (though these seem to be Python, not C++). The web has constraining properties: browsers that provide rich interaction with modern web content are resource intensive; different websites have wildly different accessibility stories (and the lack of UI and terminological consistency in content is, itself, a hurdle for some people); ads, popups, and other distractions are harmful to load times, network usage, and user experience; and on and on. There's plenty of examples of transformations from one technology to another that trade out the source's constraints for the destination's.
It's definitely confusing, because there are so many options. I wrote about dependency management best practices here[1]. Planning to write a follow-up on "cross-platform executables" soon

I am still undecided about snaps. I have only a few installed and I am glad they were available as snaps (emacs 27 e.g.).

Not sure what you mean with search.
It’s a shame that more exercise bikes don’t have open APIs. Zwift is an absolutely awesome way of keeping in shape if you like cycling, but the barrier to entry is that you need to own a bike and a bike trainer that are both pretty expensive. Maker projects like this one always make me happy, because it’s repurposing an old piece of equipment to function just as well as a new one. Next step would be adding smart controls to the resistance ;)
One the aspect I like the most about this man is how approachable and down to earth he still is after all these years. I'll give one example. Late on night, my friends were in the basement of the Gates building at Stanford working on their CS107 Heap Allocator project. Lo and behold, Donald Knuth walks by and sees them drawing all sorts of things on the white board in the hallway. "What's that?" he asks, to which my friend responds about the heap allocator project. "Oh, I know a thing or two about heap allocators; let me guide you" :)

edit: lo and behold!

He also acquired a second nationality, renounced US citizenship, and moved to a country that doesn't tax foreign sourced passive income. It's the most extreme example I've seen of planning your whole life around tax optimization.

Understandable though if you've read his book because he's had big problems with the IRS in the past and probably really wanted to show them his "FU money."
Glad you're doing what sounds to be healthier.

I suspect many think differently here but I don't think the problem lies in the knowledge but in how people with power are currently using the knowledge. Restricting the knowledge is simply or current best mitigation of the current conventions. Another world might use that knowledge to better support you and others who have seen hard times and restore what sounds like a lack of justice and help you find an environment where you could thrive and perhaps even that boss of yours. [edit: so that they could thrive but also have reduced negative impact]

In other words, rather than focusing on mitigating risk a sufficiently high quality system could help us maximize our lives. Unfortunately, the probability of something so pro-social being the outcome seems low.

TikTok is horrible. Less then a day after signing up I was getting spam text messages with Chinese writing.
This has happened multiple times before. The forced selling of Grindr back to US ownership from Chinese ownership was the most recent example.
You don't need OOP to do anything! But in the state machine example, it provides a coherent and readily understandable metaphor (object modifies its own private state; callers can tell it what to do but not how) for the task at hand. Isn't that the goal of a programming paradigm?
It may have been possible or the company to post the API publicly after Peloton shut them down without incurring any further legal liability. That would have been a responsible thing to do...and a way of getting back at Peloton.
Yes, but the way i see it, Raku (Perl6) was a complete rewrite of Perl .. was a radical change (rational numbers, grammar, multimethods, ...)

No company exists in isolation. Other countries is SE Asia have lower cost labour further down the skills ladder, they’re available and willing to work, and your competitors may well already be operating there. Stay in China in those circumstances and you’ll be uncompetitive.

This is not a bad thing. China has successfully climbed up the value chain, as Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong did before them. Now it’s the turn of other countries like Vietnam. It’s how hundreds of millions of people have risen out of poverty.
The US is far from the only country floating a TikTok ban, so it’s difficult to believe this article’s very US centric explanation. If it’s about protecting Facebook, why do Japan and potentially Australia also believe there’s a legitimate threat? (I’m excluding India because they have other plausible reasons to want to mess with China.)
It isn't an app, but would you be satisfied to check a website like weather.gov, or the many other weather websites? If they want to track you you could get an ad/tracker blocker.
I think it's the nature of all platforms that scale too big. I recall saying twitter was a fairly pleasant place before it got too big.
Cache their content on different continents and live with only eventual consistency. But as long as there is no competition, why should they complicate things.
I hear this again and again, but something that went up throughout history is not a proof that it will continue to go up in our time. It's definitely highly likely, but it's not a certainty. A lot of people spread their investment in more than just the market to account for that.
I guess we'll have to (ugh) click the title and spend (shudder) 10 seconds reading to get further context.

The promise of "upward potential" of every one of these social media fads is that it could be the "last" one, the Big One that websites and captures every following generation.

Do you think that TikTok is The Big One, that will still be growing at the same rate in ten years' time? I don't.

Myspace and Facebook are shrinking. Some of the users leaving are going to TikTok, sure, but I don't think that means that it's better, it's just hotter right now.

Do not do this. Dividends are not a good way to pick stocks. Dividends and buybacks are fungible, except that buybacks are more tax efficient. All equities should have the same risk-adjusted expected total return (i.e. including dividends, if markets are efficient), so you should not be picking stocks based on their dividend yield alone. If you want income from your equity portfolio, just periodically sell shares.
I suspect you are correct, compared to Seattle, as well.

However, the War Memorial Park had a couple hundred people sleeping rough every day for the two weeks I stayed there last year. And the year before.
Real estate. Great hedge against long term inflation. And a mortgage allows you to borrow 5X at low interest rates, with rental yields generating a profit. Example: you can borrow 2M at 2% (interest only) and rent out at 3%. Real estate rising 3% on average means a capital gain of 70K a year, which is a 16% yield on your 450K investment.
How is it a straw man, exactly? It's a position that is being "earnestly" defended by you and several others already in this thread.

Your perspective is pointless Calvinist software iconoclasm, literally hiding behind "think of the children" and (not seen yet, but just give it enough time) "think of the alienated contributors" to justify superficial changes that do nothing but incentivize further iconoclasm. My god! Children might discover that Individuals with Breasts and boobs exist and people can have fun while programming without sacrificing to the Protestant work ethic! The horror!

Regardless, free software doesn't owe you anything. Free software isn't obligated to provide anything to you, isn't obligated to fit into banal HOA agreements, isn't obligated to be corporate friendly, or otherwise something you can Feel Good about being seen to be using.

Software has infinitely more relevant and tractable issues than a decade old software project fond of juvenile puns.

EDIT: Took 30 minutes for "think of the contributors" to show up.
