You can say whatever you like, I'm not wrong. Reading your comment history, you seem to wear your selfishness and contempt for the poor as a badge of honor. So clearly whatever negative effects your apparent wealth might have on you psychologically or socially, you would rather deal with that than life among the working class.

And I don't blame you, the entire political and financial apparatus of capitalist society is designed to protect the status, wealth and privilege of people like yourself at the expense of everyone else grinding their lives away under the millstone. Obviously the best thing to be in a capitalist society is a capitalist, to whom capital and the benefits of capital are intended to flow, rather than one of the shmucks being fed to Moloch.

But as far as feeling sympathy for the plight of the wealthy - I'm not a communist or even a socialist but I'm playing The Internationale on the world's smallest violin right now.
A couple months ago, I accidentally left my debit card in an ATM in Mexico, and needed to cancel that card. I called my credit union in Washington State, USA. They were quite good about handling the fact that I was not at my home address. I had to pay $32 and wait a week or so to get my replacement card, but it arrived without issue. They shipped it in an inactive state, and I had to call them to activate it. The only part that was mildly a pain was I needed to fax (what year is it?!) my address in Mexico, but that was pretty simple with HelloFax. I actually ordered a 2nd card as a backup in case I lose the new one.
If you’re in the continental US or southern Canada, switching to heating mostly with modern low temperature inverter heat pumps would probably be a big win both economically and environmentally over heating with heating oil.
A bit funny that if they back a startup the startup isn't bootstrapped anymore.
Much of that heritage has been translated into modern languages.
I'm the main account on a Spotify family account. One or two times in the past five years they have asked all the members of the family plan to enter the home address on the account. Technically we're all supposed to live together, but we never have. They've never done anything about it, even though it's very obvious by looking at location or IP address. Maybe it'll be a similar gentle reminder by Netflix
- Python isn't sandboxed

- What version of Python? They seem to have abandoned semver and are breaking changes across releases.

Granted, a Lua-like language would work well for some of these situations. Lua does have the "what version" problem.
A simple cycle gas turbine power plant is 5% of the capital cost of a nuclear power plant. So even if you have to cover your entire renewable system with 100% CT backup, you still aren't paying as much as nuclear.
Does Angular natively solve at least part of the problems that Tailwind / CSS-in-JS with the way it scopes it's CSS?

With Angular, it's generally quite simple to figure out where the CSS for a component lives (it's literally right there in its own file alongside the component).

Sharing common values (e.g. colors, borders, paddings, etc) across classes was the biggest issue we faced, so I can see Tailwind being useful there.

In our project, we've somewhat solved it through a mix of sensible base styles and classes ('btn'), custom classes (e.g. `clr-primary--500`), CSS variables (e.g. `--clr-primary-500`) and SASS mixins / functions. It also makes it really to switch out themes dynamically, switching b/w dark and light modes for example, just requires switching up the CSS variables.
3 pedals? I think emacs needs a full pipe-organ console.
Extra bonus fun: Concur, everybody's favorite corporate flight booking engine, shows both Sydney, Nova Scotia and Sydney, New South Wales as "Sydney, NS" in the destination selection dropdown.

Hey, maybe we could put these pedals somewhere more accessible. Like under your fingers.

Not sure how common that is, but I simply fill out those questions with random words. No way anybody will find out. At that point, they basically are easily readable passphrases. Of course it helps that everything will end up in a password manager.
The other two comments wonder why anybody might bother passing a blatantly unconstitutional law. And I don't know the answer to that question; presumably different people have different motivations.

But I think that a closely related aspect of this happening is more notable:

This is probably the maximal case for free speech protection.

Or, to put it another way, if insulting an executive agent of the state isn't protected, then no other protections can possibly amount to a regime which is cognizable as freedom of speech.

It's not a matter of welcome vs unwelcome, it's a matter of global & persistent vs local and transient. Or, to put it another way, the larger your sample size, the better the signal-to-noise ratio is. So a single-month anomaly in one country isn't nearly as meaningful as a global anomaly over a whole year (which in turn is less meaningful than a global multi-year average).

And this is just local & transient. There's a good article that discusses this (and related things) at Forbes: https://www.forbes.com/sites/marshallshepherd/2021/02/19/3-t.... Take a look at the temperature anomaly map at the bottom; it shows a big colder-than-usual area over the central US, and another over Siberia. But it also shows warmer-than-usual areas in between them (around the North Pole), and another in Southern Asia. And it lists the "World" anomaly as 0.0 °C. So it's not that everything was colder, it was just that the cold was in different places than usual, and we happened to be one of the colder-than-usual places.

But that map is just for February 19. When I look at the map for today (https://climatereanalyzer.org/wx/DailySummary/#t2anom), I see a cold area across part of Russia, and another around Alaska, but also warm bands across the Eastern US, Asia-Mideast-part-of-Africa, and parts of Antarctica. The World anomaly is listed as +0.4°C. Neither of these single-day maps tells you that much about what's going on in the longer term.

Similarly, this anomalous cold month in the US was just February. According to the report: "Meteorological winter (December through February) was quite mild and dry across the contiguous U.S. The average temperature was 33.6 degrees F, 1.4 degrees above average, placing Winter 2021 in the warmest third of the winter record. Maine had its third-warmest winter; California had its 12th warmest." So while February was colder than usual here, December and January were warm enough to more than make up for it.

But again, that's just three months in one country. If you look at the US report on all of 2020 (https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/news/national-climate-202012), it was the fifth-warmest on record, and 1.33°C (2.4°F) above the 20th-century average. And globally (https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/news/global-climate-202012), 2020 was the second-highest temperature on record, 0.98°C (1.76°F) above the 20th-century average.

You can certainly find many days and months where it was unusually cold in a particular country or region, and many where it was much hotter than usual in a particular country or region. But that doesn't really mean much of anything; you really need to look at averages over larger areas and longer times.
"GNU readline" is the name of the library that handles interactive shell. It has support for emacs and vim keyboard shortcuts.

There are many compelling youtube videos with guest scientists that are finally speaking publicly about this topic. It is also interesting to note that the only U.S. representative from the W.H.O. has a vested interest in their gain-of-function testing of Covid variants and did not push them to gain access to their labs. We basically took their word for it that nothing went wrong.

Here is one [1] that includes a member of the WHO talking about this. And these folks are biologists [2] that have had many discussions about this topic. Their podcasts are a little long winded for me, but they dive into the various hypothesis. If you want to delve into the more fringe theories, there is Fauci himself from 2017. [3]

I can’t tell if you’re for or against the idea, but you make it sound great. :)
I ran into the same limitation! IIRC, there also wasn't a way to expire a signed upload URL sooner than whatever the default was, which was hours or maybe a day. I had the exact use case you mentioned, too - image uploads bypassing my backend server. I didn't want the generation of a signed url to, say, upload a profile photo, give carte blanche to create a hidden image host when combined with the limitation that you highlighted. All sorts of bad things could come of that. I ended up just going back to S3 - costs more, but still worth it.
It is for this reason New Mexico license plates have “New Mexico, USA” on them. For those not aware, every state simply puts the name of the state on their license plate but New Mexico adds ‘USA’ to theirs. The only state that I believe does this.
It's also one of Florida's most famous rivers, with the surrounding area going by the name.
I tried teaching my 10 year old nephew bash and python about a year ago. What I learned is that you have to make it fun for the kid. For example, I taught my nephew the "say" command and he went berserk over it for about an hour.
Sure HR is there to manage risk. If they already are shown to be like this in the interview I would not be safe if they decided to "manage risk" with me later on. I luckily never had to deal with HR, but it can happen to anyone.
seems like it would be awfully slow for any experienced vimmer also. Seems like a really bad idea for a foot pedal / vim integration.

A, possibly, much better idea would be if you press the pedal, is turn the hjkl keys into sending actual arrow key keycodes so those annoying times when you need to arrow through OS menus etc you can use your vim instincts. Not that I'd ever want to incorporate a foot pedal myself, but seems like a better use. Vims keyboard drive approach is super quick as is, if you are having trouble with getting into and out of insert mode, maybe Vim isn't for you.

It is utterly beyond me to guess how such a system can possibly make any sort of meaningful difference to law enforcement. Or even how it can be enforced in any meaningful way.
_There have been more than 1,900 automobile manufacturers in the United States since the Duryea Motor Wagon Company sold its first automobile in Springfield, Massachussetts in 1896. Yet in the explosion of entrepreneurship that followed, only one American automaker has been founded and run by a Black individual: C.R. Patterson & Sons of Greenfield, Ohio._

The racism surely couldn't have helped. It already tells us something that this was the only automobile manufacturer founded and run by a Black man from among around 1900 competitors. I think the article suggests that if the discrimination hadn't made funding so difficult to acquire, they could have overcome their late entry. But it's hard to be sure 100% exactly what would have happened.
I don’t know. If you insult a cop to their face, they’re going to find something to charge you with anyway. Maybe the main effect of it just increases police transparency.
I couldn't get through Pinker's book. He cites 'Clear and Simple as the Truth' as inspiration, but his acorn falls so far from the tree.
Probably someone who wants a cheap slave. After all why not make a few million copies and set them to work filing taxes or driving autonomous vehicles? Or as robocops. You could be in all sorts of delightful situations when you wake up. Then if you start to refuse orders they can delete you and spool up a new copy.

> IBM has discontinued many mainframe platforms in the past, and there's no guarantee that next year they won't approach you with a 10x markup on your renting costs, that will become 50x in a couple of years and will keep going up until you decide to stop paying.

Which ones has it discontinued? I thought once the 360 platform got going, it was basically forever (unbroken chain of compatibility). What am I missing?
Like most people, unfortunately I don't have the energy to work for myself after working for "the man" all day.

Being rich and lying on the beach all day seems more meaningful than my current life which is 8h/day of other people's problems with a bag of money attached, plus a few hours of tired clicking around. Rinse and repeat ad nauseum until I die.

Sitting on the beach wondering if my life has meaning doesn't seem so bad.
Clearly, a thing can't be both to your left and right side simultaneously -- that's a physical impossibility. In fact, to underscore this point, the Tony Bennet song "I Left My Heart In San Francisco" was written to remind people that water in SF is to their left.
Howdy! Wanted to help share some context as I'm the Head of Product for Neeva.

First, thank you for this feedback and everyone else's in the thread, as well. We are listening and improving based on what we hear from our early users and all those interested in our work.

For context on some of the choices we made when thinking about building a private search engine:

- First, one of the biggest risks to people’s privacy online is advertising. To present a true alternative requires an alternative source of revenue than advertisers. By being a subscription service we only put users first.

- Second, a search engine that stores nothing can’t get better. Even on this thread people have preferences like wanting to never see Pinterest results or see more of them. We want to offer a better search experience and privacy so you don’t have to choose one or the other.

Unfortunately, we can’t build all things ourselves to get there. Whenever we work with a partner, we are very careful to ensure that they see only as little as they need to see. For example, while we do use Stripe to process credit card payments, they are never going to see what anyone searched on Neeva. However, in order to cover the full, diverse spectrum of what people search we have partners like Yelp, Xignite and Bing in addition to our own tech. Given what’s required, there isn’t a viable, private search engine that exists without such partners, as well. Whether others disclose them is another question. Particularly the advertising partners of the “free” search engines...

In each of these cases, we vet the privacy standards of these businesses and make sure they align with our privacy policy and values, as well. In cases like Bing we take proactive measures to protect user privacy by obfuscating or omitting all other personal information outside of a query.

Therefore, clauses like the above are meant to help bring transparency more than anything.

Lastly, in terms of aggregated and de-identified information, we’ll take another look at this language. We've already updated our policy based on user feedback and we have no intention of ever sharing de-identified information like the above. Thanks for the callout.

Keep the feedback coming! We're listening. This is hard stuff and we appreciate all the support we receive.
You know exactly what I was talking about. Sorry I'm not a nuclear scientist. In common parlance "going critical" means losing control of the reaction and having to run away at a fast rate of speed before you become a victim of radiation poisoning.
A few years back, I built out a team of about 30-ish technical people and had a similar experience, but I phrased it a bit differently: Aptitude and Enthusiasm were the best predictors of success, and I phrased most of my questions in a way to get a gauge of those two metrics.

"Aptitude" correlates strongly to your "ability to learn," "enthusiasm" correlates loosely to your "curiosity." I think "ability to listen" is more of an obvious prerequisite to being a functional employee.

The real takeaway is that experience doesn't matter nearly as much as people think it does, especially in a company that has a culture of ramping up new hires very well.
Your the first comment and I had exactly the same idea. What do you want to bet we've all had the same thinking. As a community we sure like to bend things for sure.
I empathize with you, but from the other side. I got a Mac at work while being on Linux for a long time; and the differences in keyboard combos are driving me mad, so much that I don't even use said Mac anymore. The differences in keyboard layout are so unnecessary from technical point. The only reason for them to exist is to lock people into the corresponding ecosystem. Whoever got that going deserves get a swift kick in the nuts for every time I missed a key due to that nonsense
Agreed, it's an inspiring story. The article briefly touches on his involvement in his community. That's an extremely important part of success, for just about anybody.
The sun is free and accurate enough for this application.
there are so many intersecting problems here, that I feel like we argue about different ones at the same time.

Are you a human and want to query a database? SQL is probably it. (a SQL of some sort, but a pretty good shared understanding) Even if it's not relational exactly, it probably comes with some project with things like records/rows and columns/fields.

Do you have some kind of relational model that needs accessing? SQL sounds pretty good, and you know it from writing queries as a human...

But should you construct queries with string concatenation? No! Absolutely not.

Do you have to write the queries yourself? Like what if you want to stick an object in a database? Can't it write the query for you? It's appealing, but leads to sadness and anger at some point. (Joins? Conditions of more than 2 degrees? lots of dark corners very close by)

AND whatever model objects are used become a defacto database schema, so you can't really refactor them in the same way you would other models. So you better not expose them past whatever datastore touching interface you have. So why not just define them in SQL DDL in the first place?

What if you want to write the query (or need to to be sure you're getting exactly what you expect) but type-safely? LINQ? Absolutely! jOOQ? Sounds good! Arel? Sure! And maybe you get some amount of programmatic composability as well with any of these. Thankfully they're not really ORMs or extremely thin ones at that.
You can do it with one pedal -- just tap out your preferred option in Morse.
Is a datacentre considered an ISP in this respect? Between vpns and just remote desktoping into a VM, it seems trivial to circumvent to real criminals while being a privacy nightmare to the rest of the population. There is a probability 1.000 that this data will be abused.
I mean if they could get the act to pass I am sure they get storage funding too.
I've found git submodules to achieve the best of both worlds: dependency sources are readily available as part of my own projects, and it's straightforward to update them if need be. The only wrinkle is that a plain ol' `git clone` doesn't pull everything by default, but can be worked around with a clarifying note in the README or by making it part of the build process.

Obviously there's a time and a place - if a language or build system I'm using includes dependency retrieval/resolution for projects, then that's usually my preference. But for things like C (and, currently, Zig) that lack such things, vendoring with git submodules is pretty nice.
As long as it remains unresolved among publishers and society at large, I expect that this topic and questions related to it will continue to come up. Is there a gold-standard earlier discussion you could link when such questions do arise, to explain the situation to newcomers such as the GP commenter with less chance of a flame war?
You're still going to pay through the nose for 384GB of RAM (times ten VMs).
My wife and I learned the hard way that Dulles is NOT in Washington DC, we took the bus out to the Air and Space Museum, which we assumed was in DC... the $75 dollar taxi ride that took 1 1/2 hours to show up to pick us up was no fun.

Fun Bonus Fact: We drove to DC, so we could have just driven there, but thought a cheap Bus round trip was more fun as we could both see the sights, and not stress about traffic.

Oh yes I sort of skipped over that part :-)
I presume that the parent post refers not to forged documents but to obtaining legitimate identification under a different name/alias - which is generally allowed in common law countries, where you can choose and use any name you wish, as long as you are not trying to defraud someone (e.g. here's a case example from Massachusets http://masscases.com/cases/sjc/320/320mass448.html "If acting for an honest purpose, one may lawfully use a name other than his legal name without procuring a change of name").

The question there is whether avoiding a ban on returns would count as a honest purpose; arguably it would not. A standard example for inappropriate name change is changing the name to avoid seekers of debt repayment using the previous name, this seems similar in intent.
Ask HN: Indiehackers Community?
I've been a HN user for a while and have seen Indiehackers referenced occasionally. I'm curious if anyone on HN is active in that community as well, and what they think of it? Has anyone here successfully launched a project or start-up through Indiehackers?
Yeh you can - gets easier with age and experience
ce - change to end of word (consecutive identifier chars or consecutive punctuation)

cE - change to end of WORD (consecutive non-whitespace chars)

Those are probably the most common for me because I tend to navigate by word/WORD in a line with w, b, W, B.
What gets me about autocorrect is that it's a system which "recovers" from minor mistakes of trivial significance by occasionally turning them into gigantic, opaque mistakes that completely prevent comprehension. (See above.)

Imagine if the solution to "10% of the time, when I boot up my computer, it takes an extra second or three to boot" were "the unpredictable lag in booting is gone, but, 0.5% of the time, when you boot your computer, it will melt. Don't keep it near anything flammable."

The cost of autocorrect failing once is far higher than the total benefit of every success you ever get out of it. Who thought this tradeoff made sense?

That’s what I do. Apple TV + Sony Bravia TV that has never been connected to the Internet, and external speakers. I was looking at others like Samsung but they came with this external piece for the TV (like a receiver type thing?) and I’m just like - I want this thing to just display video and output audio, not do all this other stuff.
