Well, I am looking for this type of tool since this morning ^^

I found several BL, mostly for email spam protection but:

http://uribl.com/
https://www.spamhaus.org/

The difficulty is to found how to work with the database and check each URI.

I found some packages on npm like this one : https://www.npmjs.com/package/dnsbl-lookup

But I have to test it thoroughly before putting it into production.
BBC’s Horizon, especially before roughly 2012, was great for going to an hours worth of depth into a subject. Since then they’ve gone too emotional and narrative for me, no longer requiring gsce science.
I just realized something: anniversaire has the same root as the other examples I gave. It comes from the latin words annus and verso, which mean "year" and "to turn over" respectively.
Not really, if your workflow includes checking changes in the actual code.
How do you handle returning books? Is there another charge for that, and how does pickup work?
They're doing that in Oslo now, many street parking slots are getting 22 kW poles next to them. It's just a matter of political will.
this article is one guy saying that the wheel he uses (but did not invent) is better than the one invented by the guy down the street.

This might protect children for a while but sooner or later they will become addicted to it.

We will have to modify/add this to our educational system, there is no other way around it or parents will have to teach children this themselves (which is problematic since adults themselves are also addicated so we are missing a huge part of the puzzle of how the mind truly works).

A lof of adults think they are not addicted to twitter/facebook/hackernews but they somehow magicaly find themselves browing hackernews and facebook "suddenly and for no reason at all".

This seems to be one of the few books that actually works in practice: it is about porn addiction but it seems to be applicable to social media addication also.

I wouldn't have a problem with social media per se for my kids. It's the sheer size of the population that concerns me.

In most "normal" situations, parents can identify their children's contacts quickly and they can observe the black sheep closely and in the worst case try to prevent any further contact.

In social media, the weirdest and worst people are just a click away and you won't even notice it. Right now, there probably is a new trend or group out there that is extremely dangerous, or outright criminal and I don't even recognize it.

I think you’re thinking of the gold standard abandonment which was in 1976, way before Reagan or thatcher.

They did liberalize a lot of markets but attributing the way banking works specifically to them is a bit of a stretch.

Also during war times a lot of governments printed money. Before the 20th century too. So again, your anger towards Reagan and thatcher, while partly probably justified, is a bit excessive.
I watched one of his films. can't remember what. super disappointed. huge conspiracy claims that sort of sounded clever/insightful, but actually totally empty with zero evidence.
Given the impact of his contributions, I don't understand why there isn't a black bar.
I don't agree at all with the author; imho it's all the about the app! The user doesn't want to have to choose from a rich portfolio of (desktop!) clients; they want a mobile client that can do everything that Whatsapp/Telegram etc can do.
Conversations on Android comes close, but there is no such client on iOS.
This is in no way news, so I don't really get where the author is coming from?

> There is no “base layer” beneath TCP/IP.

Actually, there usually are. Physical transport layers run their own protocols and the physical media themselves (in case we are not talking OTA) also count as layers in the stack. And while these have been mostly commoditized whoever controls them does have a lot of power.

There’s really nothing parents can do, other than pray for the best.

I wish this attitude was more prevalent, both among parents and lawmakers. More and more, it seems we're legislating against any possible turn of fate that could happen, and both personal freedom and a sense of personal responsibility suffer for it.
> consistency was paramount, adherence to toolkit was extremely important just like Apple claimed.

That is not my memory. If you were careful to use just programs from KDE/Qt or GNOME/GTK, then this was about right, but every graphics toolkit had its own way of handling theming, and if you combined programs built with multiple graphics toolkits (additionally: Motif, Java, raw X) that would not respect your configuration.
This is not correct. Chloroquine was first suggested as a possible treatment by Chinese researchers in early February - well before there was even any attempt to manage a pandemic in the west. Those of us who were paying attention at the time were watching it carefully (and in some cases even buying supplies of it in case it proved effective). When Trump jumped on it (trailing a social media storm by several days) we all collectively groaned at the inevitable politicization.

You surely didn't think that Trump picked a drug at random?

Another big change was the move to switched networks. Coming from a shared lan that felt like being blind.
That's what they've been saying for the last 10 years or so, but the last decade really saw a huge leap in terms of computing. Machine learning has taken off, big data operations have reached an unprecedented scale and the latest chips from apple have blown everything else out of the water by a mile. Surely there must be a lot of advancement at chip level for all this to happen?
Author here. I might very well be the outlier :) These remarks help break my bubble and put things in a broader perspective. For context, I'm a 41-year-old father of two, living and working in central Helsinki, Finland.

Working in Canada one summer, I recall people often asking why I had some many shoes :)

As to the rather large amount of clothes, some items are at my summer house (most Finns have a summer house to go hide in). This inflates total inventory.

Yeah, Mike Mullane has a lot to say in his autobiography about the earthier odors of spaceflight. Suits probably aren't all that bad by comparison with what the Shuttle cabin got like near the end of a long mission, especially if the toilet was acting up - a circumstance I gather was regrettably less rare than might be imagined by the naïve.

It's something that science fiction doesn't really explore - jokes about Trek's near-total lack of sanitary fixtures aside, even self-consciously grittier fiction like the Expanse series seems generally very disinclined to go there. I understand why, but that doesn't stop me thinking it'd be fun to see some hard-sf author really get into the weeds of why and how space makes something as elementary as the cleanly voiding of bodily waste into a surprisingly complex and difficult engineering problem.
The existence of a drill is no guarantee that you can actually create a hole. I once was a battle tank maintenance guy and we had to replace a cover placed in front of the armor. The replacement had holes in different positions, no problem, just drill a new hole, right? An hour and a few broken drills later we gave up. No doubt there are drills that work on that armor-steel, my point is, depending on the material just any drill may not be good enough. An hour of hard work barely caused a <0.5mm "deep" scratch to appear!
PS: We solved the problem by not solving it. Attaching three points instead of four was enough, de decided. That tank would never see a real battle but was only used for training anyway.
There were some issues with the paper you're citing ("A fine is a price"). I believe a grad student wanted to replicate their analyses and they told him the data had been lost, which is pretty weird. I wonder if anyone has replicated the experiment.

Not all of the. But quite a few will invest in areas that they have no expertise in. They usually have the smarts to not start writing about those subjects as though they suddenly do have that expertise.

Open source is a public good, which means open source bugfixing is likely to be undersupplied by private demand. I think this needs a kickstarter-like way for groups of people to "contribute only if others also do so".
Since open source != free, yes it can be stolen.

Conclusion : have a look on your meme.
A slightly less facetious answer:

As an experiment and from the point of view of publishing rather than consuming [which I think the article was more focussed on]: I've replaced my old Twitter accounts [one linked to my personal blog, one linked to my company website] with Telegram Channels.

Over the past few months I've noticed the 'Follow us on Telegram' links cropping up on more and more websites, alongside the more common "Follow us on Facebook" and "Follow us on Twitter" ones.

Personally, I think this is the way to go. Whatever your political viewpoint, I hope most fair-minded people would acknowledge that there's something pretty unsavoury going on at the minute with the 'cancel culture' which seems to be pervading Silicon Valley and various other virtue signalling arenas. I don't particularly consider anything that I'm likely to <insert Telegram equivalent of 'tweet'> on my Telegram channel to be outrageously controversial, criminal or provocative. But, as we've seen of late, some people seem capable of finding almost anything offensive, and over-reacting. So I prefer to use an outlet where I don't feel the need to pre-emptively censor my thoughts, for fear of being cancelled or forced into grovelling apologies.
Agree on all terms. 2x your monthly salary is a good rule of thumb (EXCULDING VAT, I cannot stress this enough).

Also, don’t forget to factor payroll taxes which are usually “invisible” to you as an employee and can be substantial. In Sweden, to get a salary €3000 pretax costs the company €3000 * 1,3132.

The UK has a reasonably good and independent process for redrawing constituency borders. One extra goal it was given was to reduce the number of MPs, because 650 is considered too much. This is partly because of the small size of the Commons (ask your MP for a free tour). I don’t think increasing the number will fix ftfp problems.

> But we still did stupid and dangerous stuff as adolescents, like playing with fireworks, making lighters explode, huffing nitrous crackers, smoking, cycling around drunk, painting graffiti, etc.

Lol sounds like we had a common background. There were so many close calls looking back that I just shake my head and am thankful no one ever got seriously hurt.
Can this be self-hosted, or does it depend on a 3rd party service? I am extremely anxious about depending on a company that could go out of business, or maybe even worse, acquired by someone else and subject to bait and switch price rises, and the data privacy issues.
> your very niche desired use case

I don't think that my bank (SBanken) would agree that its app (which is very good by the way) is serving a niche use case but they nonetheless only provide it for unrooted Android and IPhone.
It's cringeworthy.
We use such a setup for the students‘ computer lab at our research institute. Great way to get a lot of cheap work stations and introduce students to Linux and server computing.

To be clear for people that don't know: in October 2019 a Hearthstone (Blizzard game) player protested for Hong Kong while in a tournament stream, by putting on a mask (ironic right?) and shouting "Liberate Hong Kong".

Blizzard proceeded to ban the player, take away his prizemoney and also fire the live stream casters.

Following community criticism, they gave back the prizemoney to the player and reduced his ban to 6 months. Also, they said "the specific views expressed by blitzchung were NOT a factor in the decision we made". But in the official Blizzard Weibo account, they had mentioned they applied the ban to "protect China's national dignity".

Ok, so you aren’t fine with social media, given that this isn’t something you can control. It sounds like “I’m fine with it, just not any of it’s bad sides.”
If you decrease energy consumption per computation you can afford to buy more miners which then leads to an increase in difficulty and you end up wasting the exact same amount of energy.

If a bitcoin costs $30k then the amount of electricity you can afford to waste is exactly... $30k worth of electricity. Higher energy efficiency is just a competition among miners. Less efficient ones have to stop mining.

If anything that is contributing more to energy waste because you have to periodically replace old miners and not every miner managed to break even on their less efficient hardware by the time the latest hardware became available. It's probably less significant over the long term though because eventually there is a limit to how efficient bitcoin miners can be.

> children were always like this

however we're in a somewhat novel situation as mistake past will follow you in caches and meme dumps for years and years, well into adulthood.

sure it's comparable to having had a bad reputation back in the days before internet, but you could just escape it by changing town or correct it if your social circle was small enough. with internet, no such luck, getting past one's young self mistake is going to be quite harder.
Why do we want livestock long term? It should be theoretically much more efficient to grow the meat in large vats in factories without the immorality of making intelligent mammals suffer. We already use this approach for insulin production via bacteria, I predict livestock will be phased out in a few decades in rich countries.
I think the effects could be larger but the children are not more dumb because of the media. I am sure similar stupid things were done in the past but you would not known that some child in a far away country died because of a stupid challenge.

Maybe off topic, but some of the risky stuff I done with my bike were when I was alone and were not to show of, it was all about going fast or going fast on dangerous path or just not paying attention.
Hi, good-looking site, I hope this works out!

Adding to this [1] bug report, when I change pages using the numbered buttons at the bottom of the issues listing and then press the Back button of my browser it takes me back to HN. Navigating back should instead take me back to the previous-numbered page of the issues list.

For usability, please also consider not requiring people to scroll to the bottom of the listing to change pages.

Understand that people quite reasonably feel this way but I personally don’t.

You’ve got to pick your battles. If you’re, for example, a front-end dev working right up at the top of the stack, then delivering value to your clients means getting them their marketing webpage, CRUD app, what-have-you. To do that you have to abstract away a vertiginous amount of stuff under you, all the way down the stack. We’re all standing on the shoulders of giants.

Docker is an amazing tool for just this sort of thing.
The problem is "social media" casts a wide net. Social media use to be friends & friends of friends. It's evolved to recommended content feeds
kudos for doing this. Whilst I haven't used Suiba, dplyr in R is a very compelling way to do data munging. If Siuba brings the same thing to python, it's a very welcome addition to the ecosystem.

I know pipes split opinion; I'm definitely in the 'pro' camp. Chaining ops in a dataflow pipeline fits my mental model well.

As with so much ... it depends. Sometimes when I'm working I need to chat open so I can get urgent requests and feedback. In that case it's really, really annoying for someone to pop something completely different into my feed and just baldly ask the question. It's a form of nerd-sniping[0], showing no consideration for my work mode.

Better to pop in something like this:

> I have a question, should take you X (second|minutes), ping me when you're free

If I'm busy I can ignore it, if I have an expected time of availability I can send that back, and if I'm free now I can send back a "Go!"

I strive to get into flow, but sometimes the overall context is such that people should be able to break that with urgent questions. Popping non-urgent questions into my time-line breaks flow and is a destroyer of productivity

So "it depends" - having blanket rules such as proposed in the post can be counter-productive.

Edit: I get that not everyone will agree with me, but it's so, so annoying to construct what I hope is a clear, reasoned response, just to get a downvote. And no, this isn't a complaint about getting the downvote, I've learned to expect downvotes when I express a contrary view, even one as mild as this. No, this is an expression of disappointment that someone just won't engage in the discussion. Very disappointing ... usually HN is better than that.
Of course it is easy. You can just pay with a credit card or mobile payment etc. like is already done when paying for parking. Even easier, the charging around where I live you have an account and a card and you just swipe and charge and the bank transfers the money monthly. Solved many years ago. The only thing that isn't all the way solved is the massive drain charging lots of cars at the same time can induce.

The pay scale is going to be tough. Looking quickly through the top bounties, none of them are really student level. Issues that are truly good for beginners or someone unfamiliar with the codebase in any moderately popular open source project usually get scooped up immediately for resume building.

I can see this as being useful for abandoned projects, or as a way to promote something new. It's a much better signal that the ticket is actually meaningful and impactful than a GitHub tag.

Whether that is enough to get past psychological barriers behind transactions, I don't know. I do like the "buy the author a coffee or two" mentality of support, which I think does remove some of the transaction aspect of it. Not sure if this is what Rysolv was going for -- it feels a bit more formal.
Skimmed through that book, it sounds like complete hogwash. Masturbation is evil + pseudoscience + "just quit bro".
> Determinism

Except not. I don't think "determinism" was ever an explicit goal of Nix. The sales pitch on their site is "learn how to make reproducible, declarative and reliable systems".

Nix takes very much a worse-is-better Unix approach. It aims to unify the mess of package management of Unix distributions and language runtimes in a reliable and easy-to-use way, but it doesn't aim to solve the computing world's problems in some quixotic quest for "purity".

I've had a frustrating form of this conversation with so many Americans. The concept of buying less than 40L of soda at a time, because presumably they drink many liters per day, is hard to overcome for some.

They literally will not believe that it is possible to but a days worth of groceries every day, and get fresh, quality food.

But the more people saying that it can be done, and is a superior way to shop, the more likely we will convince them finally.
