>Also, apparently Gamestop itself used the gain in stock price to settle some debts by being able to issue more stock to meet demand at the higher price, thus getting a cash infusion.

False -- if you're going to spread information about financial nuances across this thread, you should look it up first. Go read the SEC filings for GME (SEC EDGAR is your friend), there has been no additional issuance since GME took off. Nor would it be realistically possible given the volatility.
Roughly 4% of the money Germany will give Russia will be used to kill Ukrainians and stage wars like in Georgia.

Russia spends around 4% GDP on their army.

Otherwise, why shouldn't we buy oil e.g. from Islamic State if it manages to reappear?
Congrats! This is really exciting
Someone also pointed out that they announced the limit BEFORE allowing trade executions, not retroactively. This is likely fully legal. Their inability to pay up front was the cause.

Its another one of those "we'll worry about it later" problems, that once they hit, they acquired like 3.4 billion dollars and can continue. So yeah, I doubt any of those lawsuits will yield anything.
This comment resonates with me as I'm currently the one habitually asking for help! Coming to the realization and accepting the issue has been tough but I'm actively working on it these days.
Supported by maintainers of Ubuntu, not by the maintainers of Pip. With 3 months to go, perhaps it is time to think about upgrading?
> Gemini is one technological piece in attempts to make a version of the Internet which is healthier for humans – the so-called “small Internet” movement – and maybe there will be new ideas about how the small Internet should be which would benefit from a new version of the Gemini specification. So it seems risky to lock-in to one version.

If there are better ideas or fundamentals on which to build the root of another space, then what the Gemini is protocol is saying is that -- make your own protocol and name it something different.

I don't think it's risky to lock-in to the Gemini protocol because: It's very minimal, so A) clients should be minimal as well, and B) Gemini documents are human readable without a client. So if Gemini doesn't work out, your *.gmi files will hardly be useless blobs of tags.
It's amazing to compare this to animated movies before and after - it really paved the way for zanier, more off the wall humor in children's movies. I can't imagine Shrek being made without The Emperor's New Groove. Necessity breeds invention.

It's also amazing how many good principles you can learn from this process: the value of iterating often, working quickly but precisely, knowing when/how to pivot, etc.
" There is great value in understanding where "best practices" come from and what problems they solve. "

I think this is really important. A lot of today's "innovators" and "disruptors" are just too lazy to study and understand the current state and create a mess that way.

I think software development would be in a much better state if we didn't constantly forget and relearn old lessons.
I actually find C# to be more like "the successor to C++ that I actually want" rather than "Microsoft Java" at this point. If you approach C# as if you're just programming Java you are going to be missing out on some nice features, such as structs, unsafe blocks (including pointers), and modern additions like pattern matching. On top of that, I find that I prefer certain things about C#'s implementation compared to Java - reified generics over type erasure, for instance. Apparently Project Valhalla will change some of this implementation stuff. But for a while now I've found C# to be ahead of Java.

The syntax is also way nicer. Having to type out "implements/extends" instead of ":", for example. These goes a long way to denoise a very noisy language.
Why is osteoporosis so prevalent in modern age? Diet?
It is in my experience a lot more uncommon in Europe. English wikipedia says so without any details. French wikipedia says:

> In 2016, three countries concentrate two thirds of currently working A/C units: China (35,1 %), USA (23 %) and Japan (9,2 %); UE is at 6%.
Yes. The ability to use the giant ecosystem of text processing and piping infrastructure that underlies the entire idea of the unix philosophy. That something besides eyes is required to parse the logs is absurd and unacceptable. And no one on desktop is shipping off logs to somewhere else. That's cargo cult behavior.
You hear that Uber eats riders? you peasants, you! You too can make the news in just under 1,000 years, after you've fallen into a swamp (with your body staying preserved), after splitting your head on a rock, after going 30mph around a corner with an about-to-blow tire and a huge 8-person 'late' order in your painfully overburdened backpack, and lastly, after having been exhausted and worn out from the consecutive 60-hour weeks you've been making as a 'freelancer'...

Of course, you're right, right-hand axes labels are more common.

A good example of the problems we get into it when axes aren't labelled on the original visualization.
Have you tried adding the sending address as a contact in your contact list and also sent an email to it (even if it bounces) so that google knows that is a contact of yours? I dont use gmail, but maybe they also have a whitelist or trusted senders/domains function?
answering my own question:

> Devuan is a fork of Debian that uses sysvinit or OpenRC instead of systemd.

> Void uses the runit(8) supervision suite to run system services and daemons.

> Alpine Linux uses OpenRC for its init system.
A lot of people will.

But there's also strong education regarding system prompts. Users know when an app is asking for extra permissions (which this is basically the same of). Those people who care about what permissions apps have will know what to click.

Those who don't care, that's the most you can do.
Besides even Facebook estimate that only 10-30% will click allow. I'm not sure if you can ask for more at this point.

There's a Middle Way.

- drop what you are doing and focus on the person. In a face-to-face situation, body language matters.

- figure out if it's something you can do quickly. Because you've already lost your focus on whatever you were doing, it's efficient to just go ahead and knock out small tasks.

- if you can't do it quickly, either because it's a lot of work or it takes time to explain what the problem is, you must negotiate and schedule the task for later, or have a meeting. Interpersonal skills are important: be sure the person goes away feeling like you care as much about their problem as they do.

- follow up with your scheduling.

Yes, frequent interruptions are bad for focus. Part of becoming the sort of person people feel comfortable going to is to help people know when it's OK to interrupt you and when they should wait for another time, or communicate in a way that is less disruptive. There will always be that sort of person who doesn't "get" it, and will interrupt you when they want to.

I feel the exact same way about sampling 'alien' ad culture. It's fun to switch on the local TV station in a new city and see what ads are being shown to people there. It's like a form of social calibration that shows what 'is available.' Same thing with reading the ads in the back of Popular Science or The Economist. I don't get that online unless I VPN+incognito, and I absolutely cannot get it on my phone, which is locked down much tighter.
Ah I see thanks, well explained
> "And the best part of an approach like this: browsers could just ship better defaults for common fonts. There aren't that many fonts in use, and at <=64bit of information needed per font, browsers could easily ship fallback configuration for the ~1000 most common web font names."

If we think this thought further we could separate the font metrics from the actual font shapes. The metrics are all that is needed for layout and the metrics data is tiny. We could load the metrics quickly then do layout and shape data loading in parallel.

This idea isn't new. TeX works that way. In fact the tiny font metrics data is all that TeX ever cares about and this data is enough for TeX to do its job, which is laying out the page. The actual font shapes are only read by other programs that turn the output of TeX plus the shapes into something printable or viewable.
You could use TeX to typeset documents with fonts you didn't own because the metrics are not protected and publishers used to distribute the metrics to authors freely. I remember that Springer did this with their Springer customized Myriad an Minion tfm files.

The idea is not even TeX specific, as far as I know Adobe used to ship their fonts with separate metrics files too. *.afm - Adobe Font Metrics were a thing.

Wouldn't it be nice to come full circle and separate the layout from the rendering again?

Before PostgreSQL added BSON support this may have been true, but now it's pretty easy to build an SQL database that you can extend arbitrarily just like with Mongo.

You probably shouldn't use that too much, not for anything remotely production, but it's there if you need that flexibility or an easy place to dump javascript objects.

When you are just getting started, it's super easy to manipulate SQL data structures regardless.

I think RH would have had a much easier time in the court of public opinion if they had simply blocked their "instant deposit" feature to new users flooding into the network last week, and forced them to wait 3 days for ACH. People would have been super annoyed but it would have been pretty understandable in a world where the situation actually matched your description ("sudden influx of new customers buying risky stocks before their deposits cleared.")

What actually happened was that users with perfectly well-funded accounts also couldn't buy the stock, and nobody would explain why. (The actual explanation appears to be related to complicated rules around T+2 settlement and collateral, but that's a whole different thing than "people buying risky stocks on credit" which implies that the users were taking risks rather than the system is broken in complicated ways.)
I don't think that's quite true, I think the closest thing to that on mainframe is that databases can dynamically (JIT) compile the programs in query languages (SQL, DL/I) that used to be compiled statically (AOT).
Yeah. JCLs been that way for long time. That's why it's recommended not to keep JCLs very creative. It should be easy for the operator to understand what to do if job fails. Re-run from top or restart from particular step.

If you don't make thing complicated, it's easy.

LACP switches aren't too bad. I picked up a pair of 16-port switches with vlan and LACP (1-4 ports) via web interface for around $100 combined.

2.5G or 10G switching is still too expensive for me.
Missed this good question last month [0]:

> I was surprised not to find a marketplace of products. Is there a way to see which products/services are available through Angaza in a particular country? Specifically Kenya

Angaza is a B2B SaaS company. We don't distribute physical products ourselves, but we provide sales, IoT, and operational software used by last-mile distribution companies [1] in many different countries.

Some of the hardware we work with is listed on:

https://devices.angaza.com/

A typical distributor imports and sells only a small subset of that entire ecosystem, though.

Kenya specifically is a huge market for Angaza customers! Sun King and Mwezi are two examples. To be clear, Angaza and our customers focus on relatively small solar + DC appliances for rural and peri-urban households. If you're in Kenya and looking for a larger solar installation (1 kW+), you'll need to work with a local solar installer instead.

Dreambound | San Francisco, CA | Full-time | Senior Software Engineer, Product | https://dreambound.com/company/jobs/4057701003
----

Dreambound creates upward mobility for American job seekers and simplifies hiring for employers. We’re an early startup helping low-income folks upskill and afford vocational training (think truck driving or nursing) with zero-interest loans. It’s a bit like Affirm meets edtech meets workforce development — deeply mission-oriented work helping people get ready for an economy that’s left them behind, and also an exciting engineering challenge as we’re working with a modern stack and awesome team.

This is engineering role #4 at a 10+ person company with some phenomenal talent and great culture. We're hiring for both front-end and back-end roles, with a focus on someone who has had 2+ years of experience working on front-end (React, TypeScript) or back-end (TypeScript). We have an SF office and a distributed team — on-site post-COVID and remote available.

In my time in tech I have never come across a company that is as mission-oriented as ours — while still very much focused on building a successful business. For many of our customers, Dreambound represents a lifeline to economic stability. We are backed by USV; leaders at Affirm, Twitter, General Assembly; and some of the best VCs/angels in the business. It's a GREAT opportunity to join an early-stage company.

You can apply here and mention HN, or email me directly (brandon@ the below domain name):

We're also hiring for operations, growth, and sales roles!
16.04 is EOL on April 30, 2021. Even so, the idea of expecting to run the latest version of a package on an stability-focused operating system released almost 4 years ago seems hopeful.
To be frank libel seems to be a hopelessly outdated legal argument of feuding nobles and constructs of "honor" to allow the strong to silence the weak. It is utterly impossible for it to be remotely consistently enforced even by the bottom of the barrel low standards of prohibition.

More cynically it is outright delusional to think that it will ever protect the weak from lies when its main purpose is to protect powerful people like Jimmy Saville from the truth about their crimes. It is a bad tool and should be tossed in the garbage.
Schröder is an embarrassment. Usually high-level German politicians retire and stay out of things. I am very afraid that more will follow his example making tons of money with borderline corrupt activities.
Technically no, but shorts serve the same purpose as put options, just without the intermediary piece of paper. You're betting on future value without actually possessing the thing that may (or may not) be valuable in the future. I would argue this is a meaningless distinction in context.

And I wouldn't say futures are "obviously useful". They are "useful" in the sense that if you bet on the future and bet correctly, you win, but does the overall economy win? Or is it just a layer that creates more winners and losers without those winners actually providing more value than they otherwise would've? Futures are effectively a zero sum game, and I don't think we should in general encourage those. Futures and shorts are basically just gambling. Would you say gambling (when applied to sports / etc) is economically useful?

What we should be encouraging is positive sum games / win-wins.
