That's what OpenAPI is. (You mention the Swagger tool, but claim it's not baked into “the standard” the way GraphQL is; as well as a tool, Swagger was also the name of the standard, though the current version of that standard is called OpenAPI.)

It is also what JSON:API is.

It is also what OData is.

It is also what RAML is.

Heck, there's a good argument that it is what GraphQL is, too: https://hasura.io/blog/rest-view-of-graphql/
By economics I don't mean the handwaving macro economics. I'm talking about the core tenant that people respond to incentives, which is a fact that can be both observed and derived through logic. It's not story telling. What's the alternative? People don't react to tax rates or prices more generally? Do they act rationally? Maybe not but the general principal holds that make something more expensive people consume less of it. Make taxes higher people will look to shift their income or assets around to avoid them as the cost of not doing so is much higher.

IMO one of the most important lessons of economics is the idea that prices convey collective information not accessible to any one individual. That's why prices exist and lead to prosperity and communist regimes fail. No committee can pin down exactly a number that encompasses all information. Check out the article I, pencil to appreciate all the complexity and information conveyed through market activity. No person can produce a pencil without a market. Something so trivial for a market to produce that they're essentially given out freely.

So it's not correct to suggest that economics is just stories and we should ignore incentives and prices or anything argued using economic principals

As a person who doesn't use Facebook but can't do much beyond that about the shameless privacy invasion they do, their frustration is just _so_ _much_ satisfying. For a moment, I thought of buying a Macbook as my next laptop (only for a moment).
Ugh. The more I think about this the more complicated it becomes.

I think most people would be pretty ok saying "I'm a part of a classic car community on Facebook, so I get ads on Facebook for classic car things".

I think people would be less ok with "I played a game on my phone while standing in an auto shop. Now I'm getting car ads on my news site because game accessed my location, shared with facebook, who then shared with news site"

I don’t think that word is as “key” as you are saying it is! It is profoundly irresponsible to presume ignorance and wait for there to be hard evidence. There is hard evidence that PornHub has repeatedly allowed underage pornography on their website despite significant public criticism, and hard evidence that PornHub (and therefore VISA and MasterCard) profited from its distribution. Moral and legal propriety compels action without giving PornHub executives a benefit of the doubt they do not deserve.

It is also not like these issues are new. Pornhub has been criticized for allowing underage pornography since at least 2009, when footage of men raping a 14-year-old girl was uploaded to the site and not removed for 6 months, despite the videos racking up hundreds of thousands of views and the girl’s family repeatedly pleading with PornHub to remove the video. This has been a known problem with PornHub for over a decade. Even if the executives are just profoundly ignorant and bad at their jobs, that is not a good enough excuse in a court of law.

> That's like saying we should boycott the telephone company because a child molester made a phone call.

It is really more like saying that we should boycott the phone company because the child molester ran a nationwide criminal conspiracy around sexual assault using a premium phone service, and the phone company did nothing despite the problem being repeatedly brought to their attention. In which case: yes, boycott the damn phone company and demand a criminal investigation of its executives.

A big part of the problem is people completely trivializing the issue. The EFF doesn’t even mention child exploitation! Pretending this is just about censoring legal pornography, or blowing small instances out of proportion, is completely dishonest and morally despicable.

It reminds me of the excerpt in Bullshit Jobs (by David Graeber, rest in peace...)

"In a sense, those critics who claim we are not working a fifteen-hour week because we have chosen consumerism over leisure are not entirely off the mark. They just got the mechanisms wrong. We’re not working harder because we’re spending all our time manufacturing PlayStations and serving one another sushi. Industry is being increasingly robotized, and the real service sector remains flat at roughly 20 percent of overall employment. Instead, it is because we have invented a bizarre sadomasochistic dialectic whereby we feel that pain in the workplace is the only possible justification for our furtive consumer pleasures, and, at the same time, the fact that our jobs thus come to eat up more and more of our waking existence means that we do not have the luxury of—as Kathi Weeks has so concisely put it—“a life,” and that, in turn, means that furtive consumer pleasures are the only ones we have time to afford. Sitting around in cafés all day arguing about politics or gossiping about our friends’ complex polyamorous love affairstakes time (all day, in fact); in contrast pumping iron or attending a yoga class at the local gym, ordering out for Deliveroo, watching an episode of Game of Thrones, or shopping for hand creams or consumer electronics can all be placed in the kind of self-contained predictable timeslots one is likely to have left over between spates of work, or else while recovering from it. All these are examples of what I like to call “compensatory consumerism.” They are the sorts of things you can do to make up for the fact that you don’t have a life, or not very much of one."

Gnome has a few plugins that adds tilling (paperwm which brings some interesting concepts, pop-shell which is quite good) but in the end I never found the experienced as polished as pure tilling ones. On Gnome i really dislike the fact that workspaces are only on one monitor OR span across all monitors. I really like my workspaces per monitor.
I remember not liking how KDE was handling workspaces as well, but it's been a while I've tried so it might have changed since.
Bitcoin is not a Ponzi. Debunked thousand times.
I see. I think it boils down to how we understand the Internet, what analogies we can reach to. What does it mean to "operate in" a country, when talking about the Internet? They don't really operate the product in the UK. You are sending information about yourself to the US and get back a response. Is getting IP packets through a wire the same as getting Chinese products through the mail even though no money changes hands? Or is it more like sending letters?
Don't know why this is downvoted. It is on topic and contains substantial information.

Had to use Zeit/Vercel a few months for a “serious” project that requires SSR, caching and multiple staging environments. As the project progresses I noticed an increasing pain from constantly fighting with outdated documentations and limited configurability. I hope that’s changed now though, because there were some parts of Zeit that we loved. For simpler static sites, it’s hard to beat Netlify.

No. At best, they may skip a phone interview.
I've had the exact same amount of major issues using either stable or rolling release distributions. Using one of the other just changes when/why I have to work around the distro.

Arch usually has more small "papercuts" I have to fix myself - often problems around suspend/power management or drivers, in my experience. Ubuntu and the likes I usually struggle either when I encounter some bug OOTB (meaning that won't get fixed in a timely manner because "stable") or once I need some package that's just not there. Having to figure out what are the damn dependency equivalents for some program I'm trying to compile that only has Arch instructions is never fun.

Obviously YMMV.
A lot of side channels along these lines were feared from BadBIOS (ultrasound was another one). But the whole BadBIOS thing was a lot of hypothesizing started by one security researcher with psychological issues (at the time). Lots of ideas about what could be done, but not a single shred of evidence that anything was actually being done.

>I'm surprised the rise in ETH has been so muted comparatively. Any conjectures?

ETH has been known to fork to change the blockchain and eradicate some transactions the leadership didn't like (see the DAO story).

That may be a good thing in some people's book. In the Bitcoin world, this kind of thing is not very popular.
That is kind of interesting cognitive dissonance for me.

Cannot be mad at the guy because he is spending that money on making pictures of snowflakes not on hookers and coke.

On the other hand that is quite true in terms of perpetuating a broken system. Well might be that he just takes advantage of a broken system but he did not bribe politicians and did other shady stuff.

Netflix's Altered Carbon?

Yes. It definitely fell flat for me. Having read the source material probably didn't help there since it was so much better. Although even the book... I re-read about 2 years ago and it wasn't nearly as good as I remembered it from around 2006.
honestly I find this kinda gross. it feels a little too close to tossing bills around in a strip club. it's not so bad on music streams (eg, here's $5 to play my song), but I also watch a stream where a law student breaks analyzes current events. it's quite incongruous when they stop explaining the legal nuances to read some inane donation message out loud.
> but overall the experience is very developer-friendly, analogous to Heroku but for a different architecture.

Just to elaborate on that, Vercel is awesome for stateless apps - specially front-end apps. Heroku excels on (small scale) statefull apps - like the back-end app connected to a database (add-on).

In my previous company we used both Vercel and Heroku, which was a great match. Both of them have Review Apps, for example.
I like that they aren't just cutting plastic blindly. They are doing things to make that plastic easier to recycle when its needed. Currently in the US, it seems as long as your package is hypothetically recyclable you can stamp it with the logo regardless of the burden it places on the user or recycling company.

Not sure if another country has this but I've often wished we had better recycling information on packaging that was driven by recyclers practical experience. It would be nice if companies could put a distinct logo on their package if it was immediately recyclable (aluminum cans) vs requiring some disassembly (cracker boxes with plastic sleeves) vs virtually unrecyclable (soft plastic wrapping around moist foods).
I would also note that Bitcoin is up 5% since Dec 15, 2017, while GOOG is up 66% and TSLA is up 800%.

I am curious whether this peak will go significantly (2x) higher than the last one, or whether the number looks "too big" and discourages investors, even though Bitcoins are finely divisible.
You are talking about a relatively "new" concept, called Frequent Batch Auction, or Periodic Auction[0].

I remember first hearing about these ideas in the mid-noughties (around 2004..2007), but then again, I was in a technical university with an economics department. The FCA link refers to a paper from 2013, so by that time the topic should have been pretty well researched.

>Wikipedia hasn't been tainted like everything else.

The illusion of purity allows corruption to thrive. There are influence teams hired by VIPs who use Wikipedia as simply an extension of cable news/social media. To "get out in front of stories", or if they're late to the game, to scrub/"memoryhole" undesired ones. Wikipedia editing as an amusing hobby for niche nerds is an outdated concept for many topics.

Wikipedia is far too powerful a Persuasion tool to let fail. Its essay-long donation plea's are designed to garner credibility towards innocence. How nefarious could the site be? They're scrounging around for scraps each year!
Yes its chemical leaching.

"The researchers determined that the chemical is formed when a preservative known as 6PPD reacts with ozone. 6PPD is designed to extend the lifespan of tires by reacting with ozone in the surrounding air before it has a chance to interact with the rubber and weaken it, Kolodziej said."

Parroting shallow conclusions you've heard on the internets a thousand times without actually investigating them yourself isn't going to make you popular on HN.
I used i3 for a while when unity had a really annoying multi-touch bug I could not work around.

The thing is? I never used much more than a simple L/R split that was available in any OS / WM forever. If I wanted to split more, it was usually in the terminal, and done via tmux or the term app.

Add to this, a full desktop environment will handle all sorts of things for you like brightness, volume controls, proper locking on sleep, a easily configurable toolbar, hot plugging an external display, etc. i3 handles none of these! It's left up to the user to google around and find a brightness command that actually works, or why pauctrl is muted on startup, or why the lock screen only locks on resume, not sleep, thus flashing your screen. It's death by a thousand cuts. I know i3 is a window manager, and it's 'not it's job' to handle this stuff, supposedly, but why could they not add the most common way people control brightness, volume, etc to the default config, and let people swap it all out if they wanted? It's a really frustrating experience.

For myself, I've went back to gnome. If someday I get a really massive display that benefits from complex tiling, I'll revisit i3, but I'll probably wind up using that awesome material shell for gnome and calling it a day.

I'm not a MacOS user so I don't know all that much about keyboard maestro's feature set, but with i3 all of it's keybindings are configured dynamically through the config file so you can map any keybind you want to invoke an arbitrary program. It won't come nice and prepackaged but you can do a whole lot just by using included tools and i3-msg, which lets you manage i3 windows programmatically.
If I may share my experience about articles of this kind: just read them for the experience. You might be tempted to try to infer some short summary from the title, but I've found that misses the whole point.
For me, part of it was a touch of OCD about getting windows positioned just right. Especially terminal windows, I had to line them up, get them the same size, etc. I would spend a lot of time trying to get windows as large as possible, but not overlap, in order to use ALL the space of my monitor(s).

I tried out i3 for a while and generally liked it, but was never wizard-like with manipulating my tile stack. I could split horizontally and vertically, and swap around to a degree. Enough to get by and most importantly, line it all up and use all the space. ;)

These days, all the systems I use support the 98% use case I had for i3: either full screen, or vertical split (by dragging all the way right or left). I further discovered tmux so I can split a terminal window extra as needed. So, I haven't used i3 in a few years.

You mentioned you prefer lots of windows open? I'm 100% the opposite. I only want to see two at a time. At work I have two monitors and one is editor, the other is tmux'ed terminal, both maximized. Browser, maximized on one monitor. Document of some kind (pdf, etc.)? Maximized on the other monitor. At any time I'm selecting which two to see. Chat apps for group communication? I hide those because they are hugely distracting. (I check them now and then when I take a short break). At home I do something similar using virtual desktops, since I only have one monitor: browser in one virtual desktop, ebook or document in another, etc.
Well i3 is kind of configurable:

Interesting, seems they either deployed a new verification system or having massive issues with the existing one as I’m in the same boat. Been verified on Coinbase for years now, and still shows up as verified on the verification page, but the dashboard says I have to verify again. None of my documents works, even though they worked before and all details match. Also wrote to them but no response so far.

Looks like a side monitor will work wonders for you.

I have a setup with 3 monitors:

My main 4k monitor is used for coding only. I can have 5 open buffers, side by side, with close to 120 lines being displayed in each one of them.

I have a side monitor open with a terminal which shows me the logs of the running application, plus I can easily type any additional command there.

On the other monitor I have the browser open, usually with the documentation or stack overflow tab.

When I'm doing web development I have one monitor for the web app and another one for devtools.

It's amazing. No more fighting with screen space. I highly recommend it.

The floating part was critical, as it was about having unused screen space.
