On Starboard[0] I approached this by sandboxing the notebook code in an iframe on a different origin. This sandboxing has to be done anyway to prevent XSS.

If you type while(true){} in a notebook only the iframe will break (and usually your browser will prompt you after a while to kill it). When you do only the iframe is no longer functional.

I don't think there's an elegant way to solve it any differently in the browser.

It's not just about distribution. What about allowing payments through stripe or paypal or any other payment processor?
Working across a lot of time zones is a huge barrier and leads to all kinds of miscommunication. You can avoid some issues by focusing on written asynchronous communication, and maybe modularizing the work so that different time zones are working on different things, but this tends to calcify and slow down a product development process.
I mean all reasonable honest economists know this. The goal of the current program is to subsidize the 1% by making sure the stock market it stabilized and keeps growing.

If you want to actually help the economy you helicopter drop stimulus checks. The lower 95% spend more money when they have more, the top 5%/1%/.01% don't see a meaningful difference in their spending power.
We are a startup.
We decided to host our full stack in self managed vpses running debian.
We started at one provider, but because we have everything (except the hardware) under our own super vision, we were able to move to another provider (hetzner) in just a few days.
Moving away to another provider wouldn't be an issue.
I believe the key is to not use any of the propitiatory services offered by all these big players.
We currently pay around 1000 dollars a month for about 15 servers. Same thing at AWS will cost at least 1 week to figure out the pricing model and probably six phone calls with sales people trying to lock you in. Then in the end I am sure you would pay much much more.
That's the million dollar question here: is the Downs person's life worth more than the person (or people) they replace?

SpaceChem had a similar version of this. You started by building individual factories and later puzzles had you assembling multiple factories together. You could choose to try to cram several steps into few, complex factories, or spread out simple steps over many factories.

I think SpaceChem is similar to Factorio, in that there is no single solution. The designer of SpaceChem said he just tried to create interesting problems, but didn't spend too much time going through possible solutions. Factorio is similar, in that there are set recipes, but how you move from one to another is completely up to you.
Bigger you are bigger the differences between teams and products and projects.

You can leverage the high quality network infrastructure from Google while using your own DC for Compute Heavy Load.

Use Azure for your Windows specific workloads.

Go with AliCloud in China.

You need to be big enough so that running it yourself is doable with a certain amount of quality. Which does imply many teams and workloads.
Posts like this confuse me. It is absolutely killing a human. This is a scientific fact. The moral question is whether or not they are a person, or otherwise, whether or not they deserve rights, at various points of development, and apparently, any medical conditions they have or may have in the future, based on probabilities from current medical research.
I wish there was a question in the FAQ asking:

Not really sure why this is downvoted. SARS-CoV-2 is the virus, COVID-19 is the combination of virus and symptoms.

I can't say anything about these vaccines, but there is such a thing as a non-sterilizing immunity, that would prevent you from developing COVID-19 but still be infected and able to spread SARS-CoV-2.
Bear in mind that if someone of Euler's level is operating today, you very likely wouldn't know unless you were in the field, and it might not necessarily be obvious even then.

If you cloned Euler, and magically gave the clone a new upbringing that resulted in the same math skills, Euler!clone wouldn't be becoming famous for proving e^iπ + 1 = 0, because he'd have learned that in high school like the rest of us. Instead, he might go off and do something like Terence Tao and hack away at the Twin Prime conjecture in a series of papers that require a PhD in mathematics just to understand the abstract. It's a lot harder to become famous that way, even if the work being done is much harder in some sense.

I don't want to diminish the genius of pa-h mathematicians, because Euler is still a legitimate genius by any measure, but part of the reason why he could get around the way he did is that he was metaphorically working in a field where he could pluck ripe fruit off the ground. Similar geniuses exist today, but even as geniuses they still need ladders to get to the fruit now, and that just takes more time.

I'm not lamenting this, celebrating it, or judging it... it just is the way it is.
Love seeing development in the podcast space. One specific problem I've been wanting solved for a long while is difficulty with sharing podcasts with friends across podcast apps. If you're not using the same podcast app as your friend, it's always a pain to manually search and find the podcast in your own app. I'd love a universal podcast url, something like `podcast://<podcast_url>` that individual podcast apps can understand, which links you to the podcast within your desired app, similar to the "default browser" behaviour on mobile and desktop. Has anyone come across something like this?

It really is. I've been going through a fairly significant book revision the past few months. Of course it's been more work than I thought--even though I should have known better.

However, even though I'm making quite a few changes/additions including a new chapter, it's a lot easier to patch something that exists than starting with a blank page. The fact that I don't need to churn out a huge number of words lets me focus on the new material and refactoring as needed.

When I was an industry analyst, I used to joke that the effort to write something went up by something like the square of the page count. There are counter-examples but mostly I think it's at least somewhat true given that you need to sort of keep your head around the whole project.
The core problem here is that Apple is still disallowing users from side-loading / installing iOS apps from outside of the official App Store.

My question: what is stopping us from demanding a legislative solution that requires Apple to open up the iOS platform to allow installation of apps outside its sanctioned ecosystem?

With ARM Macs now on the market, the hardware architecture / software differences between their mobile and desktop platforms is becoming smaller and smaller. The argument that mobile devices should be treated differently from any other general computing device has always been weird. But now the disparity is now ever more glaring given how similar iPhones, iPads, and Macs have become. We should be demanding openness and the right to modify software as the end user sees fit. This does not preclude users looking for a more secure experience to continue exclusively loading apps from the App Store.
comfortable with it?
I just posted the same as you. Just a minor comment, I do not believe this is inefficient, but their target is not the economy but the rich. There is no way an economist does not know what you said.
I wasn't talking about security, but correctness, although statistically people underestimate the level of security required by their projects, more than not. Memory safety does not imply correctness, but if you want to reason about correctness you really have to trust that your program doesn't do something funky with your bits. And, at least my programs, like to prove me wrong about what I believe is possible.

Me, for 40 years: I overanalyze things until it sucks the joy out of life and makes me feel paralyzed. I should spend more time analyzing why I do that.

Therapist, in one hour: Maybe analyzing even more isn't the solution here.
You kind of make my point. You turned your website into a business by spending the time to convert it. Experimenting is fine and it’s fun to build websites and web apps, I do it too. But if I’m not willing to spend the time to listen to clients, figure out what they want and what they’ll pay for, then to me it’s just a hobby.
A 50% (opt-in) discount instead of a competitive payment marketplace. What a deal for Apple.
That's clever. Do you know if there is something possible using web workers? maybe running the "sandboxed code" in the worker? I don't really know how they work and if it is possible to interrupt them from the main thread.

The real bipartisan push for harsher penalties in the US came in the 1980s after basketball star Len Bias died of cocaine overdose:

>...It became the sole focus of legislative activity for the remainder of the session on both sides of the aisle. Literally every committee, from the Committee on Agriculture to the Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries were somehow getting involved. Suddenly, the Len Bias case was the driving force behind every piece of legislation. Members of Congress were setting up hearings about the drug problem and every subcommittee chairman was looking to get a piece of the action...

If you want to go back further, a good person to start with is Harry Anslinger who headed the Federal Bureau of Narcotics:

>...Prior to the end of alcohol prohibition, Anslinger had claimed that cannabis was not a problem, did not harm people, and "There is probably no more absurd fallacy"[15] than the idea it makes people violent. His critics argue he shifted not due to objective evidence but self-interest due to the obsolescence of the Department of Prohibition he headed when alcohol prohibition ceased - campaigning for a new Prohibition against its use.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_J._Anslinger

A difference with Nixon is that he was one of the first to try to greatly expand drug treatment and also reform sentencing in at least a small way:

>...the mandatory minimum sentence in a federal prison for marijuana possession was 2-10 years until Nixon slashed it to 1 year with a judicial option to waive even that sentence. No federal mandatory drug sentence would be rolled back again for 40 years (in the Obama Administration).

You showed too much commitment. In either situation they knew your were going to buy. The trick is to keep one foot out the door until you're locked in on price.
> I think people on the left generally assumes too much of people

I think it's perfectly legitimate to ask "what about the murderers, thiefs, rapists and criminal gangs? The obvious answer is that you need a police force. You can call it the flower-and-peace-corps if you want, but you need both enforcers and detectives to protect the population.

If what you mean is "reform the police", then don't call to "abolish the police".
So who is your favorite Agatha Christie detective? Hercule Poirot? Miss Marple? Tommy & Tuppence? Colonel Rice? Or someone else?
But they don't need to take care of billing, taxing, and accounting. Stripe does that well. PayPal. Many others. Open it to competition. Decouple payments from the distribution (appstore).
Just because the other options aren't great doesn't mean Google's search isn't bad.

I believe GP's hypothetical assumes that everyone has an opportunity to get vaccinated, and all those who remain susceptible to the virus refused to get vaccinated for selfish reasons.

If society continues to coddle anti-vaxers, it reinforces a positive incentive for selfish behavior, which in turn creates a negative drag on overall well-being. At a certain point, society shouldn't allow the selfish acts of small group of individuals undermine the well-being of society at large.

Obviously, there would need to be ample warning and a concerted effort to educate everyone on consequences. Once these requirements are met in this hypothetical, I believe the moral thing to do is to stop wearing masks and stop social distancing.

That said, this is an idealized hypothetical. In reality, there will be many people who can't get vaccinated for reasons that are not selfish. In this case, there is still a moral dilemma, but I'm unsure on how I'd approach it. Surely, asking 200 million people to wear masks for another year to save 1 life isn't worth it. The question is where to draw the line.

Textbook definition? Sure. Legally? No.
I buy most books second hand. I'm not interested in the newest and latest (hearing about a book years after it was published is a signal of quality) so that saves me a lot of money.

Also, I'm not attached to those books as much as I would be if I had bought them new, which means I have less of an issue clearing them out to save space.
Black (#000) against a slight creamy color--like the main background of Hacker News (#f6f6ef)--is pretty good IMHO.
It is by design though as the government drops a lot of money to prop up the stock market instead of sending it to normal people to spend with stimulus checks.
> So they saved next to nothing? Their yearly operating expenses are in the order of $1.3B, which doesn't even include cost of revenue.

Wow thank god some of y'all aren't running these businesses.

It still surprises me every time I see failures to think marginally.

>Wayland still not ready for daily use .. KDE ..

That's almost as much an over-generalization as saying "PC is not ready for daily use". Wayland is a protocol (or even a family of protocols), kwin is one specific compositor which implements it (and the implementation is still far from being complete from what I hear). I've been using a different compositor for about a year now, and I don't miss Xorg one bit.

The government a while back injected TRILLIONS into the stock market in a bid to keep the stock market afloat. Acts like that have gone far to increase the difference in fortunes between main street and wall street.
Given they’re paying with a credit card, it’s very safe to assume they’re not in the United States and don’t care at all.
Interesting that "anti-inflammatory" is mentioned several times in this short piece.

I used to be a moderate drinker, having 1-2 per day several times a week. After stopping completely about 8 or 9 months ago, I no longer have acid reflux or that burning feeling in the back of my throat from spicy food.

This was an unexpected and wonderful result, to say nothing of dramatic weight loss and other benefits.

I used to think there could be health benefits to moderate drinking, but in retrospect it was only a justification for unhealthy behavior.

An altered immune response makes sense, given what alcohol puts your body through.
You could modify the AST tree using something like jscodeshift to add a function that is called in every loop (and maybe every function) and there you can "break" the loop in a pretty clean way.

A 7 years old PC GPU equivalent to 2060 today is the Kepler GPU like Geforce 660, if you think you can match PS4 visual fidelity on that then you have not seen either one or another or both.
Thats why some people accept the right of other people over their own life.
No it doesn't. Apple and Google have stood on the neck of the mobile app distribution market for over a decade, and small developers have suffered for it. This change doesn't address the problem at all.
Wait how could Unions help against outsourcing? What do Unions do? Use strikes (withholding labor) to get concessions. What does outsourcing involve? Finding cheaper labor out of the country and laying off or firing existing workforce.

If outsourcing is the threat isn't the potentially outsourced threatening a strike kind of like responding to a mugger by putting a knife to your own throat? Except I think that might be more effective as a threat as it makes the mugger think of you as unstable and irrational.
They got a taste of power, and so the demands will continue. The tyranny of the least tolerant strikes again.
Part of the problem is at smaller companies, managing your own infrastructure is just a part time job. So you have to outsource it to someone you trust, find someone in your company that wants to moonlight as a sysadmin for 10-20 minutes/day, or pay a full time employee to not do that much.

How much time you have to spend is generally related to how many servers you have. In my experience, if you have automation setup correctly (1-2 weeks) you can average around 5 hours per month to manage about 30 servers.
Starting therapy earlier this year was possibly the best thing I’ve done for myself in years. It took about 3 months of weekly sessions to properly “notice” what a difference it was making, but now it’s blindingly obvious, and I’m so glad I did it.

I found my therapist through https://www.bacp.co.uk/ — I’m not sure which country you’re in, but there’s bound to be similar directories out there.

I set their filters to find therapists who deal with issues relevant to me, and within a practical distance. After that, I just systematically went through each of their profiles, read their bios, and narrowed it down to a shortlist of 10.

I then picked two based on gut instinct. I had an introductory session with them both, and immediately “clicked” with one of them, who I’ve been seeing ever since.
My assertion is there is no global ranking of value. The answer to the question is interesting; but as much for how personal the answer is than anything else.
Exclusives don’t take the market, as is evident by PCs having a larger market share of the gaming market than both PS5 and Xbox combined.

Reagan more than anyone else:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_on_drugs#20th_century

>The Nixon Administration also repealed the federal 2–10-year mandatory minimum sentences for possession of marijuana and started federal demand reduction programs and drug-treatment programs. Robert DuPont, the "Drug czar" in the Nixon Administration, stated it would be more accurate to say that Nixon ended, rather than launched, the "war on drugs". DuPont also argued that it was the proponents of drug legalization that popularized the term "war on drugs".[17][unreliable source?]

>The presidency of Ronald Reagan saw an expansion in the federal focus of preventing drug abuse and for prosecuting offenders. In the first term of the presidency Ronald Reagan signed the Comprehensive Crime Control Act of 1984, which expanded penalties towards possession of cannabis, established a federal system of mandatory minimum sentences, and established procedures for civil asset forfeiture.[50] From 1980 to 1984 the federal annual budget of the FBI's drug enforcement units went from 8 million to 95 million.

tl;dr: Nixon removed mandatory minimums for drug sentences, Reagan reinstated them.
Yes, at some point during the day, I take the electronics away, and enable wifi parental controls (which pretty much blocks everything like YouTube, etc.). This is usually followed by a brief meltdown, then books/paints/whatever come out and the analog world is revisited.
Probably just reduction ad absurdum. But I think about this every time I make one whether this rhetoric and is doing as you say. At the very least it has the smell of bias, which could make the listener believe you were trying to slander.
Great question! Will add.

For itunes api:
1. You can't search episodes
2. You can't get a lot of search results of podcasts.
3. Their terms of use may not allow you to do what you want to do
Yes. Most of my grey hair has come from those months that my job was mostly sorting through the rubble.

I mean podcasts are an extension of RSS if I recall correctly... I don't see why this wouldn't be possible.
What makes you think Amazon and Microsoft don't take customers out to lunch (pre-covid)?
I haven't thought about it too deeply, but i'm wondering if theres just an unsolvable gap between "business owners just bury bad reviews" and "irrational customers can sink small business owners."

I'm assuming that manual curation of reviews is necessary here, it may not be.
No such thing as an easy conversation.
I had a terrible memory anyway so I'm not losing much, I learned to just write everything down all the time.
The thing is, Dropbox talent level is probably quite high. Thus, they can build a lot of internal APIs to manage their own hardware (Think: Software Defined Networking, Kubernetes, lambda-like platform, programatic scheduler, etc).

If you don't have people who can provide cloud-like APIs to developers to self-serve, then you are trading off your developer time with money. And I'd argue that is a terrible trade off.
Meanwhile,

Which one is it?
Good point, and I agree. Developers and users should have the freedom to use the payment processors of their liking, without having their mobile operating system's vendor deciding for them.
It definitely depends on the school. I learned how to program in 3rd grade and it worked out quite well.
Dropbox is competing in a narrow-margin market wherein those margins are a function of hosting costs. At the unit cost level, it's material to their business.

Pfizer, where IT is a minor backoffice operation, doesn't care that 'everything is 2x the cost' because that cost is materially small, and the nimble nature of the cloud is a much bigger advantage. And they don't have the talent to make their own cloud anyhow. So to them it's cheaper.

Also note that most cloud users are not startups or tech companies, they are 'basic corps' doing IT.
Depend on optimization - if you just want a server, yes it's much cheaper to just get one at home.

But why run servers when you can just put your workloads in lambdas. That's a huge money saver, unless you're hosting video games.
