Hello HN!

Being a heavy tech-news consumer means you're reading this post in your n-th daily visit to reddit while taking a quick break from work.

Hundreds of dev-based news sources generate thousands of articles everyday; hundreds of brilliant bloggers & twitterites publish their content, along with the seldom unmissable discussion on the amazing communities.And just like any other tech-fanboy, I am in love with them.Its difficult to close that tab & go back to the work I was doing before :)

Although this 'hobby' is said to be among the most crucial things for growing professionally; there is too much of news & too little time.And most of it is spent in filtering out the relevant content & saving it for later(and sadly highly unlikely)read.

There exist many aggregators, newsletters and RSS feeds to clear this chaos, but there is generally a trade-off of either being too narrow for a certain tech OR having too much noise. Reviews of many such tools are filled with other issues like insufficient domain-filtering,lack of personalized content & being distracting-eventually missing the purpose.

My question for you is if x were the ideal tool which made your tech news reading life easier,what features would you like to see in x ?

- Do you feel that the curated newsletters are a good for saving time OR despite having subscribed, you always found yourself lurking on news sites like Hackenews, Hackenoon, subreddits etc ?
- How do you keep tabs on the latest trends in your domain?
- How much of cynicism do you want in x? Should you just be served the meaningful content for your domains of interest OR you want to explore all the content to find something new & interesting once for a while?Is it really worth the time & effort?
- How do you feel about being charged for reading the otherwise freely available content?if yes, how much would you consider a moderate amount?
- Please give your suggestions & pros/cons for the tools which are you using for this currently, if any?

The HN community is brimming with wiser, experienced folks and being a novice, I'd love any kind of feedback form you.
Cheers!
IANAL and therefore I would be interested to understand why GPLv3 would be a deterrent for using rsync. Could anyone ELI5?
I would still argue net worth is a unbiased (if you discount for corruption) proxy for ability (in the sense of ability to create wealth = products and services that people demand). It is extremely high variance though
If grabbing the mp3s is fine any mp3 player will do, right?

Crystal has macros which is the metaprogramming for static/compiled languages. And last time I checked, there are way more things that you can do with Crystal macros than Rust's macros. And crystal's macros feel very familiar to the language itself, are easy to understand and use them whereas Rust's macros..

What is a linear graph? What is "linear hierarchy"? That's the first time I've heard those terms, and I did have a decent Discrete Maths course back in the uni (it did have graph theory and algorithms on graphs). "Value", on the other hand, is indeed generally understood to mean "a datum with an associated type", maybe without "with associated type", pretty much universally since the sixties.

As for two different senses, look at the the first paragraph in the "Mathematical Formalism of Ownership Semantics": it uses "linear graph" and "linear logic" in the same sentence. Unless you define "linear graphs" as "graphs that are described by linear logic", but to the best of my knowledge, linear logic describes the structure of computation (that's why it's logic, it describes the proofs and you get code via Curry-Howard isomorphism), not of data. Unless you equate the graphs with their traverses? But again, that's all highly non-trivial and non-widespread knowledge and terminology, unlike "value is a piece of data" and "agent is an actor".
I have to say, that I enjoy using the Rust replacements for ‘grep’ and ‘find’ - ‘ripgrep’ and ‘fd’ - quite a bit.

The ui of a few old unix programs isn’t the best.
IIUC the `scp` cmdline will still exist it'll just use the sftp protocol behind the scenes instead of the eco protocol. Note that the deprecation is about the protocol not the cli.
> Gitlab CI. Good value, great integration with Gitlab, has integration with Github.

Yep. Now I'm thinking on migrating my AppImage build scripts (Travis CI + Transfer.sh used for my projects on GitHub) from Travis CI to Gitlab CI. Hope, that there is simple "3-step switch" option.

Really appreciate those FLOSS projects which already use "Gitlab repo + Gitlab CI" to build & provide builds/artifacts, e.g. GrafX2[0], Inkscape[1], etc.

Rents are not cheap, except maybe if compared to SF.
The cognates are difficult, true - there are quite a few old Indo-European words if you know where to look (kulta - gold, kuningas - king, ranta from Swedish strand, i.e. shore). That said, once you've built up a core vocabulary, it's quite easy to learn derived words. For example, kirja, kirjasto, kirjoittaa, kirje - book, library, write, letter. By comparison, you can see how much different all the equivalent English words are due to its mixed Germanic and French/Latin vocabulary, and how much a challenge that makes for non-native learners.
Take this as someone who moved to Sweden and have learned a bit of the language, I don't speak Finnish but have had contact with it through Finnish friends for 5+ years now.

Finnish is hard just because it's too different from our Indo-European languages mental model.

On the other hand, Finnish is easy to pick up if you are going to study it because the written form is very close to the spoken one (even though spoken it will be more colloquial Finnish). If you learn the phonemes you will know how to pronounce words, easily, train your ears to its core minimal pairs and it will help a lot.

The grammar is logical, there are a few exceptions per case, it's just very different from Indo-European languages.

I agree that it's very obscure but I take that for Swedish with the silver lining that learning an obscure language will be, in the worst case, a good party trick.

Does that overhead go down if you tag lots of places with types manually?
Is that really a big deal though? Register the domain, point the name servers, job done for 5 years.

Hi, thanks for the heads-up regarding LinkedIn Premium. I'll setup another solution for contacting me. (I also signed up for a trial of LinkedIn premium which should fix this issue temporarily.)
The European Arrest Warrant effectively supersedes any constitutional right to non-extradition: "EU countries can no longer refuse to surrender [to other EU members] their own nationals, unless they take over the execution of the prison sentence against the wanted person" [1]. EU members with extradition impediments like France are left with a right to get back prisoners after conviction, to spend the punishment in their own country. There are exceptions and rules but "constitution says no" is not one of them (or at least I could not find it even in the proper text of the Decision [2], and is not mentioned in any note on the matter).

This said, a "bad" EU members might well choose to extradite further, once a prisoner is obtained from France. I expect this would trigger appeals at the ECJ and possibly repercussions for the "bad" country, but in the meantime the prisoner might well be gone. I also don't know what the "punishment" would be for a country that refused to execute a valid EAW. I guess this sort of thing is left to ECJ judges.

Not sure who you're responding to; I replied to the grandparent on the basis of logic they purported to agree with. You seem to disagree with the article itself, and the paradigm described by its subject.
Arguing the finer points of a law that is deeply flawed in the first place strikes me as a terrible waste of one's intellectual talents unless the goal is to get said law to be revoked.
> compared to, say, French, or even Swedish.

I'm not sure the "even" is actually appropriate here. Both Swedish and French (along with probably every other Western European Indo-European language) are among the easiest for English speakers to learn. Swedish also has a disproportionate amount of resources online due in part to immigration patterns, as I understand it.
People are assuming k3s or managed Kubernetes (like GKE) is too complex or requires too much maintenance. I have bunch of applications running on raspberry pi and another ubuntu machine at home as classic setup and running GKE on production for our company. I can say that I spend more time on classic setup and simple things on Kubernetes like zero downtime deployment or auto cert with Let's Encrypt much harder on classic setup.

Foobar2000 with an iPod add-on[1] and a podcast add-on[2]. You don't need iTunes directly, but probably an older version of iTunes in the background for compatibility when syncing. Oldapps.com has you sorted for that.

I personally use a modded 5.5 gen for daily listening, it's vastly superior to using a smartphone. It has a huge memory and unbeatable battery life. With cheap replaceable batteries and SD card boards, it should essentially last for years/decades. The firmware is much simpler than iOS, so it doesn't matter that it's not maintained, it simply works.

EDIT: OP is using a Mac, so I'm not sure if this is feasible. It does work well on Windows though.

Tor/VPN/proxy users are legit users, for fucks sake.
> Honestly, I feel like everyone would be better off if instead of reCAPTCHA, websites just used some service that automatically blocks proxies.

That's even worse than reCAPTCHA. At least as a human using Tor you have some shot at solving a captcha, even though you usually have to try 5 times or move to a different end node.

The reason we're not using AWS is because we couldn't switch our entire network of a few thousand .at domains over here easily. It would have meant months of work. So we went with a competitor.

@AWS my 5cents: adding many more TLDs is one of the highest ROI investments you can make.
I knew some people who worked in Alibaba at around the time when Ma started to handing over duties to Tsai, and Zhang.

All say the company was actually much better run when Ma was managing company day to day, than when after Tsai took over operations, and himself just hired tons of "pro managers" to hand over errands.

At around this time (2012-2013), Tsai decided to show how much of a serious tech exec he was..., and he came with idea to do what big boy do, and rewrite all of Alibaba's core code into one True Enterprise Grade Java MegaFramework of Doom.

And it was at that time when their website quality started to fall off a cliff, and they started loosing talented people who were off-put by Tsai's management...

I'd say Aliexpress was much better at the time of it launch, than it is now. Alibaba, and 1688 had an even more dramatic loss of quality, and vendor oversight.

P.S. People talk about party affiliation of Ma from him joining the part to be allowed to teach in eighties, while forgetting that Tsai does not even hide his affiliation with the United Front (an organisation for CPC's version of "useful idiots,)" and is a much more outspoken political player, and party appologist.
The Fall of Civilizations podcast does a very good long-form story-telling about the invasion and collapse of the Aztec empire. I really do recommend it and the rest in the series.

Maybe it's not "warm", but to catch my attention you should include something that makes it clear this was hand crafted email for me.

There's just so much content pushed out by using marketing automation tools that is nicely written, but totally generic. If your otherwise nice email falls into this category, then it might just get ignored.
I think that’s underselling Ma, who was an English teacher, graduated with an English degree and was an English lecturer at university.

Yes, MuseScore has taken insane threatening stance to everyone who tries to defy them. Just by having the browser extension without actually using it got me a very menacing message from musescore about "being reported to law enforcement". I believe this is very unprofessional and is mostly made to scare people rather than act as an actual warning or message. They could have said that due to the abuse of such extensions they will block the site access until you turn them off like with adblock. But no they have to say you are getting your ass handed to law enforcement. I wonder who will give any attention to a student just having a publicly available browser extension aimed to view and download music sheets based on previously publicly available museScore APIs.
Good luck. Peertube is working on livestreaming. Not exactly a drop replacement to twitch but once technology matures, people would have a federated alternative in their hands. Good luck with ads

Is domain registration a big part of your hosting world? Surely anyone can register a domain with anyone and point DNS?
This is interesting.

"When the deviant tone is played to the left ear, its output is predominantly relayed to the right cortical hemisphere, which shows the characteristic vigilance response."

"During the first night, the left hemisphere had a more pronounced vigilance response to these deviant tones as compared with the right hemisphere."

I wonder if there is something to find out with regard to sleeping position. Do we sleep on our right side to cover the right ear for less disturbed sleep? Or rather on the left, to not cover the right ear if we feel the environment is not safe?

Is the preference for the right ear maybe related to the preference for right-handedness in humans? Lying on the left side would leave both the right ('more vigilant') ear and the stronger arm and hand unconstrained, the latter maybe needed for sudden defense?

Just a few thoughts, pick them apart.
>>I would go as far to say that no self-made billionaire is stupid.

Why doesn't the LWN article talk about that? It sounds like this glob thing is the real deal-breaker for the OpenSSH team.
Fascinating. I knew Wittgenstein taught primary in the 20s, but never connected that with all the later Philosophical Investigations about language as a game, forms of life, intersubjectivity. Looks like that connection has been the object of recent scholarly attention: https://www.academia.edu/7913113/The_Philosophical_Investiga...

The complete list of TLDs that you can register with Amazon Route53 is at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/re....

You can always manage any domain with Route53, but registrations are only supported for these TLDs.
https://aws.amazon.com/route53/domain-registration-agreement...
states that they use gandi.net and domainbox.com as
registrars, both support .at.
So i guess they just forgot about it.
Would welcome a better explanation though.
that's just good cold emailing. kinda misleading to redefine "warm" to "cold but with some effort put in". same issue with this article, "warm" is in quotes.

> b) this is controversial but I think the standard language model used by linguists is too strongly inspired by Latin and a very poor fit for Finnish. I find trying to learn grammar formally is counterproductive and will set you back. Instead, think of the noun suffixes as a preposition equivalent. Trying to think of them as cases will mess with your progress

Interesting point. This is what a lot of people learning the language tend to get overtly confused with. Perhaps your point isn't as controversial as one would think...

> j) It may appear superficially that all the vocabulary is weird and foreign but a whole lot of it is borrowed, just borrowed a long way back. Not so useful early on but you pick up some patterns eventually. A number of phrases are word for word translations from other languages - for example "elintarvike" (food products, groceries) is a word for word translation of German "Lebensmittel". Learning German after Finnish I found a lot of familiar phrases. Going further back, you see a ton of germanic roots in everyday words like "tuoli" (chair). It's not obvious at first until you look at the Estonian version "tool", which is an earlier form of the same word. That is of course an abbreviated version of "stool"/"Stuhl" which is clearly germanic. Again, this won't help you learn new vocabulary but it may help with the feeling of "what the fuck how do they come up with this shit" that you get on first exposure to a new language group.

hehe, yeah that's the second difficult part of the equation. Trouble is that we also borrow a lot from Swedish (which isn't too far from German, but still) and also Russian.

But you're right in that the word formations themselves are pretty logical (maybe this is a Germanic thing?) - for example, computer [tietokone] is literally "information machine", airplane [lentokone] is "flying machine", and my favourite example is the old word for television [näköradio] which is literally "vision radio."

> And is the wait similar for major things like cancer, brain tutor, or heart surgery?

No.

For serious illness or acute accident that needs hospitalization, the public health care is excellent and fast. And it won't bankrupt you, even for the most demanding medical care (usually you pay small flat fee for every day you're hospitalized).

For non-urgent doctor's visits and routine dental care, not so much. Wait times can be long and the system can be quite frustrating. It's a bit better for children.

Most employers in tech sector (and most white collar work, even some blue collar work) will have additional health care benefits that will get you your doctor's or dentist's appointment faster from a private health care provider. You can get insurance or pay out of pocket too.
I was thinking a lot on this topic in the last few months,
Jumping out from sleep to check on my kid between 3 and 10 times a night, I noticed that I can awake fully, or not, depending on a conscious decision.
It would be great to track that scientifically.
You can't just compare all countries as they were all the same. Europe managed it quite well while it was spring and summer (surprisingly in line with all the standard respiratory diseases stats from previous years). Australia (and their biggest outbreaks were controlled just as the seasons were changing).

Then you can't compare Europe or US with Africa. Just look at the structure of the population and the age groups, most of the African nations have extremely younger population than Europe - exactly the ones that are at the most risk are the ones that are a majority in a lot of countries.

I don't agree that the free market is the only way to allow for more affordable housing, or even a good one. To some extent, housing has inflexible demand. If you work in a city, you need to find housing at least within commuting distance of that city. Because of this, landlords can build tiny palaces, and people will pay 50% of their income or more to live there, even if they really want affordable housing. In some sense, you could argue that real-estate developers can operate like a cartel and control the supply of affordable housing.

One clear alternative to this public housing. In Vienna, for example, about a quarter of the population lives in social housing. And these are poorly maintained slums, these are nice, well-located and affordable apartments. The city/state can optimize for the actual housing needs of the city rather than for profit.

I would argue that housing, much like healthcare, can function better when managed as a public good, as there are too many perverse incentives at play when there is a profit motive involved.
I’m joining in too
