Pretty sure LuaTeX or ConTeXt LMTX (an experimental LuaTeX fork) is a better choice for programmability. LuaTeX is the most recent TeX engine, and it is very programmable using Lua (as in no TeX code required). I know, Lua sucks very much, but nonetheless the power that LuaTeX (and/or ConTeXt) offers is probably currently unmatched.

(And don't forget that Lua has a C API, so it is possible to drive the TeX engine with C++ or Go or Rust or whatever.)
Are we restricting format? Because queries like '"index of" pcx 1991' will reveal quite a bit (or TGA, TIFF, and PICT). Whether they've been up since the early 90s is another question.

Mortgage Mates, the Tinder of Homeownership
Due to the current housing crisis in Australia, many young Australians are growing up without the hope of purchasing their own home. Between 2011 and 2015 we saw a 50% reduction in housing purchases for individuals between the ages 18 to 29, and a 20% reduction for 30 to 39 year olds. These figures continue to grow as housing prices increase and individuals find themselves priced out of the property market.

Mortgage Mates is a website, created to enable like-minded individuals, to match and then co-purchase properties together. By following the success of recent innovative technologies that promote a sharing culture, Mortgage Mates disrupts the housing market by supporting the community to share their mortgage and housing aspirations. Through the use of a unique algorithm and co-purchasing agreements Mortgage Mates facilitates the matching of individuals who have similar housing preferences, enabling them to enter the property market with reduced financial risk.

Is there an example of a blockchain implementation that is tried and true outside of cryptocurrency? I remember seeing when large tech firms were jumping on the bandwagon and proposing things that blockchain could do. Everyone was like "so, that problem has already been solved for years with X, blockchain provides no advantages".
I'm not really alarmed by the negative perceptions, rather surprised how completely off the mark these takes are, even this one. I think Mark Cuban pointed out how this is a result of the media being lazy rather than nefarious.

But this will make me question the News media going forward, not because they might be malicious, but rather how incredibly incompetent they are running stories on such a transparent event. How can we ensure they are diligently reporting on events not as accessible as this?
I outfitted my home where I work with 100 watt equivalent LED light bulbs and LED shop lights aimed at the ceiling for super bright indirect lighting.

The result has been several years of easier waking in the morning all year and no more SAD during winter.

The downside is the gloominess of other people’s dimmer lighting is very apparent to me.
> If you can't sleep at night because of your current portfolio

You are correct. Buying options for peace of mind doesn’t make much sense.

Buying them to e.g. avoid being short squeezed, protect against a margin call or insure against losses that will get you fired does.

All I am saying is that this vehicle, in it's final qualified form, will be landing human beings on the deck back here on Earth. That's the objective, so it's viability and reliability needs to be considered in that context.

For an F9 first stage a failure rate of 1/10 is fine. One out of 20 is outstanding. For Starship, these things are intended to carry a hundred paying passengers or more. The failure rate needs to be lower than 1 in a thousand. Much lower.

The best I could come up with is music. Now, that's obviously a nuanced discussion. But I think it's the closest we've got.

It's only regulated in certain circumstances, it has been commercialized yet anyone can make it or listen to it still, and it is definitely something that people take and meld into their own. It's just about the purest form of expression we commonly exchange between cultures big and small, international and local.

Again, definitely worthy of debate, but you're not wrong when you suggest it's slim pickings. That's all I could come up with.

Show HN: Haven – Run a private website to share with only the people you choose
Miro: Product Features
Hey HN,

I’m the author, Haven has been my side project for a little while. The core idea is that we should be able to make it easy for anyone to host their own private webpage as an alternative to centralized social media.

A lot of the decentralized community seems to have chosen federated models as the solution to “self-hosting is hard”. I’m trying something different. With core web technologies as the foundation, my mom or my wife’s grandmother can visit my site with any web browser and I’m still able to exclude the rest of the world. For technical people, self-hosting is made easy with a one-line AWS deployment script, and an install script for the Raspberry Pi Zero W. I’d like less-technical people to be able to use this too so I’m exploring providing paid hosting as a service.

I think of Haven as a Facebook-alternative, but probably not a Twitter alternative. I see Facebook as selling itself more as “stay in touch with your friends and family” where Twitter is more about “see what interesting people are saying”. The latter has discovery as a core component. With Haven everything is private so discovery wouldn’t make any sense.

There’s nothing new here in terms of technology--server-side rendered web pages using Ruby on Rails, no javascript frameworks, RSS using HTTP basic auth. But also no analytics libraries or ad-tracking. Pages are lightweight and load really fast. I’ve even provided a limited ability to add custom CSS so you can really make your page your own.

I would love any feedback you want to share. Both from a technical or installation side, feedback on the public webpage, as well as thoughts on communities that might be interested to learn about Haven.

Thank you!
For sure mimalloc is interesting!

At work we've been able to use mimalloc to great effect, using it as a drop-in replacement for the standard msvc allocator showed 3x runtime (!) improvements on multi-minute workloads. In terms of memory use we also saw improvements, but less dramatic.

Of course these numbers mean nothing without context (and there was much more heap allocation going on than needed), but getting that kind of performance improvement for (comparatively) such little effort really changed my view on memory and optimization.

Not the most user-friendly library though, perhaps that is a result of its selling point: 0 code changes needed.
> it can also be a bit easier playing with 'other peoples money' as you can hold for longer

As a former options market maker (granted, not buy side master of the universe), I saw practically every one of my former colleagues do the above. (I chose the messy path of going all in on a start-up.)

Practically everyone lost money or furiously broke even. Options live in a multidimensional space that is tough to recalculate real time without the tools. You can get everything right and then a stock borrow rate shift or rate futures curve bend wipes out your capital. They are designed for hedging. They are total shits outside that context to the point that I’m surprised they’re available to the general public.
It depends on the situation. For example, if you believe that the FDA approval for Moderna vaccine will be revoked next month, using an option could be a good way to make money on what would obviously be very bad for the stock next month.

On the other hand if you just generally like company you could buy that stock directly and not worry about finding a 3rd party to take the other side of the bet. That 3rd party is trying to make a profit and even though you may be right and that 3rd party may be wrong you are still introducing a 3rd party into the investment.
> I'm curious if anyone sees LibreOffice gaining any traction in a professional setting.

> In my experience, everyone uses MS Office, and LibreOffice still remains relegated to private individuals that don't happen to already have an Office license ... or Linux users.

At one job, I recommended OpenOffice for handling some very old files that were in a Lotus format Microsoft Office didn't support. I wouldn't call it gaining traction, but they installed at least one copy.
In my experience - I have done a lot of pre-sales for an IT service company - the use case for blockchain can usually be solved with classical, cheaper and simpler solutions by having a central trusted authority for storage (like a third-party service provider), and appending using digital signatures.

For me personally, blockchain is a solution looking for a problem in most cases...

Thanks for this. Lots of good information to ponder. Reflecting, I'm still active and doing things I'm interested in (putting a modern engine in a 60's motorcycle because I wanted to, and it was the most expedient way to do so), I get on the road bike every other day, and there's plenty of plans and things to work for.

I think the part that's been making me hyperventilate is that I'm at an inflection point in my career, adapt or die, and the things I've been great at and paid well for...I won't be. I've got good skills and intuition at handling security data at scale and need to lean into that. Creating and maintaining the infrastructure to do that is what's going away.

I was in incident response and occasionally miss it. It was VERY interesting, but If I'm honest, I don't think I was enjoying it at the time. I certainly didn't enjoy the schedule the attackers made me keep.

Your observations on having a library are things I've seen in other people in the field, I shied away from it because it always seemed like the things I was interested in hadn't fully gelled yet, And it always seemed that way. So now the internet is my library, with no margin notes and many more hits returned to overwhelm.

I hear ya on the Monitor front. Working on cars/motorcycles has gotten a lot more difficult lately as things are too dim, too close to see with my glasses on, and just far enough away to see with my glasses off.

3. It support Forms [1] and it can be extended in many ways [2]
4. You can easily collaborate with others and share snippets on the Hub: https://hub.espanso.org/

There is no GUI yet, but we are working on it

Yes, but puts are a lot safer than shorts, because the downside is finite.

Sometimes. Online Word chokes on many things, and misses simple stuff like center aligned columns.

Unless DFV is shown to be the same user that figured out a short squeeze was possible and posted it, there is no basis. DFV's price target wasn't $300 or the $450 it reached, it was much lower, but his analysis makes sense and is equally valid to Cramer's. In-fact, I'd go as far as to say that DFV's analysis is better because he is more transparent than Cramer - somebody who publicly admitted to screwing over stocks and gave analysis on how to destroy a company through a hedge fund - and took into consideration the new board and the change in direction, if anything, every due diligence written by 'boomers' that I read does not match reality.
'Normal people'? That's a bit of a stretch.

Most of what he did was to say he liked the stock from what I gather. You'd need to find the evidence that he himself encouraged a pump and dump which I have not seen anywhere.

The term "not financial advice" is also probably to be found in the most upvoted posts by other users which could be seen as encouraging risky behaviour
Calc is good, but Impress is disastrous. Really buggy and lacks a lot of ergonomy compared to Powerpoint. Writer works really well except some weird behavior when switching languages occasionaly.
There's some really cool stuff going on in the distributed storage space thanks to this - blockchains have provided a way to pay for, prove you've stored data and provide collateral should you fail to store it, establishing the whole contract without the need for a centralized party, allowing anyone to sell excess storage. Sia is probably the most mature implementation at the moment, but there's a number of competitors in the space.

But as you can see even this is pretty cryptocurrency adjacent. For anything that doesn't rely on distributed trust you're much better off making a database, perhaps with a hash chain glued to it if you need to prevent reversion.
Saying that he earns a lot of money with his book means that it's a succesful book, which is part of pitching it correctly. But you won't know whether that's true unless he gives you access to check his actual sales.
Indeed - a blockchain only makes sense in decentralized trustless proof-of-X systems.

Everything else could be a Git repository or variation thereof (commit chain vs blockchain).

I'm currently working on a way to make this possible, but for now you will have to stick with forms :) (or passive mode [1], but I'd advice against that as it's going away in the next version).

I have a page, http://don.dream-in-color.net/books/ which has been continually updated since 1995.

Capital equipment is even more barren in information.

It might be better said that there are sales, development, and operational aspects to product management. You can split this into a product owner, sales interface, and engineering interface. Or not.

Even b2b is very different depending on what the market is. If you have 10 customers, the marketing path is different than if you have 1000, or 100,000. The roles shift dramatically.
