A hypothesis on why that may be:

Most people treat taxation the same way they treat automobiles or software, in that as long as the features they do want are available for a price they're willing to pay, they don't worry much about also getting the rest of the bundle which they don't want.

On HN, one is more likely to find people who massage dotfiles and dependencies to get specifically what they want and not what they don't (if not necessarily more likely to find people who scratch build their car to contain only the features they wish?), and so one also is more likely to find people who wish to unbundle taxation.

Actionsflow – IFTTT/Zapier free alternative based on GitHub Actions
Actionsflow helps you to automate workflows, it's the best IFTTT/Zapier free alternative for developers. With Actionsflow, you can connect your favorite apps, data, and APIs, receive notifications of actions as they occur, sync files, collect data, and more.

You can use many triggers provided by the community (Like Slack, RSS, Webhook, Typeform, Email, Reddit, NPM, Telegram, Twitter...), you can also create your own triggers easily. You can also use Github Action as your workflow steps.
I just want to point out how insane this tax pressure is based on a number I saw today for the first time. 2.2 million Danes are about to receive the equivalent of a 180USD stimulus check. To qualify, you have to have received public benefits within the last year. Denmark has 5.8 million people, and 5m over the age of 20, which I will assume is the age at which a person would become eligible for this type of assistance. That means 38% of all Danes, or 44% of eligible Danes, received government support.

Someone who earns $100k a year is going to pay a combined 55.5% tax rate, 40.6% income tax + 25% consumption tax. Someone making $1m is going to pay 66%, assuming they don't spend it all on cars which attracts an additional 160% excise plus all sorts of other green taxes.

Apparently I lied about my age, it predicts that I'm actually 8 years younger than I am which is fun.

It also tells me my BMI is about 9 points lower than reality which is also fun.

And that I've got as long left to live as I have lived already which is pretty awesome.

But it also tells me I'm ugly, which isn't so much fun :P

At least it correctly identified me as a man with 97% certainty. So I can stop worrying about that now :D
I would imagine that the amount of available calories is overall the larger influence on which society grows and which doesn't. Remember that in most hunter-gatherer and farming societies, population stayed constant despite high birth numbers.

Why GitHub new CodeQL security feature is not for PHP?
The new CodeQL feature supports only C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, and Go developers. While PHP is classified as the 5th most active programming language on Github, it’s not supported by the new security code scanning feature. PHP developers have lots of alternatives depending on the framework you are using, or simply using static analysis tools such as Psalm and PHPStan.
These warnings are disorientingly and illogically complex in a surreal or nightmarish way?
At some point many beginner devs migrated from StackOverflow to Github because their really bad question were being closed there, and now they just overwhelm open source authors

I'm glad it's not just me seeing this - My repos aren't even that popular and some of the issues just seem to be "help me build my project..."
Hey Hackers

I'm Owen, a workflow lover. A few days ago, I received an email from IFTTT that we loved has officially started a paid plan. I'm sorry that we are missing another free and great tool. I wish the IFTTT team all the best and hope they can succeed !

If you want a free, customizable alternative to IFTTT or Zapier, I hope Actionsflow can bring you a different experience.

I’d love for you to check it out and hear your thoughts!

Happy commenting!
This is such a flattering website:

Amsterdam is trying to set a precedent. By developing this register, they're showing national/international policy makers that transparency can be done.
Aside from the fact that any level of gov should be open about how technology affects their citizens.
The Ford F-150 is the highest-selling vehicle in North America.

Also worth noting - the US gallon is smaller than the UK one. And anecdotally, the mileage rating in the US actually tends to represent real-world consumption, whereas the EU test - until very recently - did not.
I think the through-hole vs SMD difference is mostly psychological. 'large' SMD devices where you can see the pins (not BGA and such) are often easier to solder (and easier to fabricate PCBs for, because you don't need to drill holes precisely).

Font smoothing in general is pretty bad but in Linux it's abysmal.

I use bitmap fonts as much as possible and I turn AA off for all fonts below a certain size (18 px IIRC). I also force Firefox to exclusively use Arial because of the excellent hinting.

Things are so much more legible and crisp it's not even funny.

(Edit: Funny thing is, I remember font smoothing as much better in general maybe 10-15 years ago. Perhaps it was just the novelty that appealed to me then.)
Agreed, it's frustrating that the article has an attention-grabbing headline and entirely fails to deliver. It's clickbait. From the article:

> So what was the worst decision of my career? I don't know.

And that's it. There's no further discussion of their career mistakes. The article should have been titled something like Complexity and change in software engineering.

If you're interested in reading about an actual career mistake and what can be learnt from it, I recommend the classic The Mythical Man-Month. From the book:

> It is a very humbling experience to make a multi-million-dollar mistake, but it is also very memorable.
Although freelance I work with the same company, mostly, and their core dev team is entirely remote. Their company deals with pretty complex projects. Maybe not Google level complex but in spite of how much it gets talked about here, that's not all that matters. The majority of companies and projects will do just fine if they go fully remote.
The Joie i-Snug 2 is the one infant seat with a snap-in base we found that would fit in our 2008 Ford Fiesta and allow me (1.65m) to sit comfortably in the front passenger seat. My husband (1.85m) can fit in that seat, but we’re not sure how great that’s going to be for long drives where we need to switch drivers.

We’re in Germany, which appears to have similar car seat rules to the US, along with increasingly large cars, but without home or public garages that are growing at the same rate. I’d like to replace the Fiesta with a hybrid Corolla wagon, but the current model is 5cm too long for our garage from the 80s.
This page gave me a lobotomy.
if I want proper debugging what are my options with these?
Embed a gdb-stub? some kind of JTAG?
But, is that it actually it? The linked page shows a "Get it now" (for your phone) link which points to the Google Play Movies & TV app for me..

(And, the sites screenshots vs the play store screenshots differ - suggesting it hasn't rolled out to the region I'm in yet...)

It's about taking a sensible approach according to the culture your company operates in.

Thank you for that suggestion. I've edited the question now.
Not every program grows, or needs to run fast.
I was holding out for the Pixel 5 to be released.

Its a huge disappointment. I ended up buying my first choice Oneplus Nord.
> So long as you're not using this technique to unlock mutexes, you'll be fine.

This does not sound good.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that your hack will probably break the return stack buffer of the x86 superscalar processors.

While a "defer" implementation would have neither of these two flaws.

No doubt it's a pretty neat hack, but I would be sceptical about using it extensively in place of a "defer".
> The corruption in Russia today is a legacy of that Soviet-era black market.

Not just of black market, the centrally-ran economy was corrupted to the core. Most decisions (who gets the job, who gets the apartment etc.) were routinely made based on bribes or favors.
PHP is quite weak in the U.S, I can only assume that's why you got the impression it's dying. In Europe it couldn't be more popular. I'm not here to "defend" PHP, I use Ruby, but living in the Netherlands you'd be amazed how many companies use it. Ruby is a very small niche here in comparison.
Mine has all the airbags a current car would have, so I do not believe this is the actual reason.

It has a lesser crash rating than modern cars, but the reason is there are structural elements that drivers legs could hit in a crash (https://www.euroncap.com/en/results/honda/cr-v/15568). Basically I thing the car is too stiff for Euroncap, but it does not make it less safe in my opinion. Crumple zones are sized for standardized impact tests.

Acoustic stuffing probably takes much space two.

And I agree for the pillars.
I’m apparently a decently attractive (6.6) 14-year-old (I’m 34). I came closer to the cam, but it didn’t detect me doing it.

edit: And my wife actually got recognized despite being black. But it decided she’s ugly (3.4) and has no idea how old she is ;)
You're not alone in feeling that way. There's a very short list of people who've ever taken the time to fully grok Richard Stallman's Math 55 assembly notation, and they mostly work on projects like the Linux Kernel and glibc. It's designed to do anything. I've been using it the past few days to retool the standard x86_64 compiler to generate 16-bit boot code for The LISP Challenge. https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/blob/b6793d42d5ed6b4f78...
But I think that is a temporary thing - I don't think Apple TV is going to be long term product - TVs are too smart now
Heck, when I was a kid in the 80s in Brazil I thought Mafalda was Brazilian. It took me some time to learn that he was from Argentina. That is how common it was to find strips in our schoolbooks.
Super popular in Italy too, Quino’s death hit the homepage of all major Italian newspapers. Lots of people read Mafalda collections in the 70s and 80s, I got one that was gifted to my mom in the late ‘70s and went through it several times as a kid.
Just moving my lamp around (i.e., making my face whiter, I'm guessing?) could add 2-3 points. Putting on glasses could do the same. Not sure what to make of this.
The follow-on question is therefore, are they going to save more time in the long run by writing poorly optimised queries for a particular quantum hardware stack (that we assume as being easier/faster to write), rather than writing highly optimised queries on classical hardware.

Writing a garbage SQL query and getting it back faster might be worth it over optimising it - especially if the questions aren't regularly repeated.
>In the not-so-distant future: Code snippet scanning for copyright infringement

Will never happen. Can you imagine what would occur if Github started harrassing private repo owners for including GPL licensed code? Or automatically making them public? All their customers would bolt immediately. Copyright infringement is Github's bread and butter.

Stack Overflow attribution is equally unlikely. The same group that says Oracle's claim that Java's API is not original and unworthy of copyright protection, cannot then turn around and claim 30 lines of code from SO is original and deserves recognition.
The UK is pragmatic, if you have more than two children (and all except the youngest two are over 3) then you only need to put the youngest two in car seats. They know you can’t easily fit a third one.

Seems very reasonable.
Zed Shaw? I am probably not switching from terminator but now I will keep Kitty in mind and one day give it a shot.
Do you think they are going to stop making them, or do you see them entering the smart TV market with their own TV?
The cold is a problem not for the reactor itself (it'll heat itself up quite nicely) but for the other gear involved with a settlement. Chemical plants, mining bulldozers, habitat seals - all of these things get seriously weird when you bring them down to ~125K. (For example: IIRC sabatier plants need to run in the high hundreds of K; if you're going to keep that going in a cryogenic environment you need either an enormous amount of insulation or to be willing to lose a lot of energy to the environment.)

The obvious solution would be to use waste heat from the reactor in a combined heat and power installation, but then you run into the radiation problem. Coolant tubes or heat pipes that run a significant distance are heavy and bulky, but if you want to move your gear closer to keep that weight down you get in trouble from radiation. Note that it's not just people that are sensitive to radiation - the chemical beds required for fuel and oxygen production, electronics on any moving rovers. If you just want power, that's fine, bury it a few km away; but if you also need heat you're out of luck.
Definitely. But then again if these brain compete to work on something like this, maybe they are not so big after all.
Side-side note, but I am disturbed by the fact that the bread is called by Subway "Italian".

There is normally no sugar at all (or much less than the 2%) in "common" Italian bread though there are particular kinds of bread that do contain it.

Traditionally (at the time where there were not any children snacks at the supermarket, and even if there were noone bought/used them) it was traditional to give children as a mid-afternoon snack a slice of bread briefly soaked in water wirh some white sugar on it (as an alternative to an even more traditional slice of bread with some olive oil and a pinch of salt).

When the kid was grown enough, like - say - 10 or older sometimes a few drops of (red) wine might have been added to the bread and sugar.
I don't think benchmarking a Nightly release is valuable. The code literally changes every day, things get slower only to get faster a few days later (or vice versa). For example, the article mentions a regression in the JetStream 2.0 benchmark. There's a ticket about this that was fixed just a few hours ago [0]. There are other performance related tickets currently open (or recently closed) [1] that should make the benchmark's results no longer accurate.

I always felt like the software industry is like a Shepard tone [0]. Feels like it's always rising but it's actually a cycle of overlapping trends that start over and over. And the illusion is kept for both programmers and users as long as it doesn't start over with everything at once but just one bit at a time.

Like a lawn where you cut just one strip every day and you never get to see the whole lawn either too grown, or "shaved" to the ground. But it's the same lawn and it never grows taller than that last strip.

Perhaps it's meta - the worst decision of their career was choosing this headline.
I recently got back into it. There are tons of youtube videos that provide tutorials.

What helped me most was having concrete and doable projects that you'll want to finish. My first project was a digital dice (attiny85, 7 leds, CR2032, button and a small perfboard). Now it's a led strip for a camper (esp8266 w WLED firmware, potentiometer, 5V stepdown converter). I'm also toying with radio transmission over 433Mhz so I can have battery powered sensors (water-well depth, temperature, etc)

LSD and Mushrooms. They work wonders, I'd start with microdoses, though a good plateau trip works for years after.

Microdoses and an introduction to the culture of these chems, there's ever more material of these online, then, 15 years ago when I first experimented and that's both exciting and sad because if you were to rely solely on social media/reddit/twitter ancedotes you really won't get the full package.

I'd look at forums, erowid and published research journals for the full picture. :)

It still beats hardware naming schemes: MAG, MPG and MEG for MSI and then a string of "pro" "extreme" "enhanced" and characters like "+" lobbed on to various words, usually in combination ... Do I want MAG pro extreme+ or MPG enhanced pro 2?

And then there's Intel which literally reused numbers for its Xeon series so you have to check the chipset/socket type otherwise you could be 10 years off.

And then there's RAM where vendors will put numbers like "3600" after say 2400Mhz RAM because it's that product's series number but knows full well that it's also a common clockspeed. You'd think they're just trying to trick you and do an upsell to fools but sometimes they also go the other way as well. I don't think they realize how confusing it is

So yeah, Google isn't doing that bad
> Most of us will get bored without novelty. That's why the software industry has a recycling mechanism to keep things fresh and interesting for us: every once in a while a new, or different, language/framework will rise and light the path for a brighter future, overthrowing the existing standard, demanding that we learn it to be on top of the game.

This is one of worst aspects of programming to me. Instead of focusing on making the best product for the people, many feel the need to do the same thing again and again (broken) differently.

Of course, learning is fun, but can't you guys find things outside of programming to learn and let the field mature?
Pretty much every single processor made in the past decade, if not two, has a core temperature sensor along with overheating regulation. Even the Raspberry Pi.

That sounds more like daycare than school. Children don't need daycare. They should go to school to learn and at other times be out playing with other children. Teachers are supposed to be good at teaching, not good at looking after children. That's what the parents are for.
I don’t follow. The part of the article you quoted is about appliances that allow us to achieve a given standard of living with less human labour. Isn’t this a good thing, whether the labour that is still needed is done by the people who benefit from it, or outsourced to service workers? How does the development of these appliances imply the transition to a services economy?
I have to admit you have expressed my point hundred times more eloquently :).

Unless the bitmap font lines up with the pixels on the screen, the results are always terrible. They work well on CRTs because CRTs artifact away the pixels and blend them into round-edged horizontal lines. For high-dpi screens it's hopeless, as the pixels are invisible to the naked eye from a reasonable working distance.
Yes absolutely. People sometimes assume that you have to implement feature XY, just to lament 1 year later that another software is not that bloated. I like people with a strong opinion and if i don't like it i use something else.
Are they actually selling the data directly to 3rd parties? Or just using it for targeted advertising? The latter is obviously occurring but not sure about the first.
