The thing that's odd to me about only allowing sales from government-run shops is that it's entirely unnecessary. There's no material difference between a government-run shop and the type of privately-run specialist shop you mention. The government can still require that specialist shop to have the same restricted hours that a government-run shop might have.

I live in a state where restrictions on alcohol sales are pretty limited; grocery stores and corner/convenience stores, for example, can sell whatever they want alcohol-wise. Many stores will keep the more expensive stuff in locked cabinets as a shoplifting-prevention measure. I don't think it'd be too crazy to require that all hard liquors be kept that way, and then sales there can even be restricted by time of day if that was desirable. Beer and wine could be left as-is, with no restrictions. (On the downside, this would hurt smaller shops that aren't specifically liquor stores; locked cabinets are an added expense and take up more space.)
This is a common problem in other parts of the software industry, but Valve is missing a piece of the solution.

The typical problem at software companies is that developers are incentivized only to write code for new features that will land them promotions and look good on their resume--but bugfixes and security work is not part of that.

Management can counteract this with top-down initiatives. Programs like "fix-it week" or teams dedicated to security with different incentives in place. For example, Google suffers from the "promotion-oriented programming" about as badly as any other company, but they manage to take security seriously.

Valve has "flat hierarchy", which goes in quotes because the hierarchy isn't really flat, it's just hidden. Because the hierarchy is hidden, it's harder to address large-scale problems like institutional priorities... because there are fewer people to delegate large-scale problems to.

You're basically describing "progressive enhancement." People with disabilities aren't really more likely to load a site without JavaScript or CSS though, a site can still require JavaScript and CSS to operate. It does take at least a little more work to make a form work through POST and as AJAX-submitted JSON. To be accessible, a site should be robust enough to work even when everything isn't the same as when the web author uses it (users use keyboard and other inputs instead of a cursor, have different screen sizes, zoom or enlarge text, use Windows High Contrast Mode to replace the site's colors with their own choices, etc.).

> Clearly for some things (e.g. Maps) that are inherently visual this isn't possible

The first interactive online maps were static images with North, South, East, West arrows (links) to load the next image; having to load the whole web page again for the next part of the map is not nearly as nice as loading image tiles dynamically but it does work. Dyanamic tile loading also doesn't have to be done only by cursor or touch, you can still have on-screen arrows that can be tapped or keyboard operated to load more tiles (plus loading tiles based on keyboard arrow keys, WASD, etc. while the map is focused).

That's mostly true. For something like TensorFlow -march=native can be like night and day. What I try to do with Cosmopolitan Libc, is CPUID dispatching, so it doesn't matter what the march flag is set to, for crucial code paths like CRC32, which go 51x faster if Westmere is available.
I love online ordering. I am exposed to the full options for customising a pizza so I can add and drop ingredients easily. I can also experiment with what coupons give me the better deal for the set of pizza I'm ordering. These two things are awkward when ordering in person or online. Also useful when you are collecting orders from several people. You can just add each persons order to the online cart without having to write it down and then repeat it all over again on the phone.

While I can't speak for the UK, the US has a small hurdle to bans on particular kinds of speech: the First Amendment. Add to that the first section of the Fourteenth Amendment (i.e. the Equal Protection Clause.) Alcohol producers have as much right to advertise as, say, someone selling chocolate bars (a 'sinful,' sugary food) or bacon (for all its alleged carcinogens) or prescription drugs (some of which have potentially lethal side-effects,) so it'd be tough to single them out for suppression. Not that Americans haven't tried using later constitutional amendments to prohibit things they don't like...
Will Larson's An Elegant Puzzle is the best book on management specifically tailored for engineering managers.

I find most management books to be useful in terms of thinking about general people management.

Some of my collaborators use Overleaf with the git bridge to interact with our version-controlled drafts. The git bridge is broken, and overwrites git filemodes, erasing executable bits without the user's request; even on files that the Overleaf user doesn't touch. This breaks scripts that we need to produce figures. Every time we have a new paper to work on we have a problem.

It drives me crazy. Overleaf claims that this would require a nontrivial overhaul of their software, which I find hard to believe. But their code is complicated enough that I can't just look at it and find the fix.

I like the second kind of wrong. My smoke sensors start to make random short bleeps. I have about 10 of them in our house. Usually it will take at least annoying 15 minutes to locate the culprit.
dvtm is very much like dwm, both in some superficial details (layouts), and in deeper philosophical ways (very heavy on doing only one thing well). This is good when you want a small well-scoped tool to do one thing in your stack, but does add friction when you just want everything to work because you need to add more parts to do anything; for instance, dvtm explicitly doesn't handle sessions the way tmux or screen would; you're expected to run with something else (probably abduco) for that. This is not a negative, but it is a tradeoff.
Not OP, but the Protectli is just hardware and you install your own OS. So it is running your own computer with "scripting and such", just a separate low-power, small footprint computer with dual NICs. This is good for managing network for your entire house/office/remote site.

I've got some PC-based firewalls like the Protecli. Mini-ITX, atom-based, 8gb ram. I can often find these for <$50 on auction sites. If it's one I'll be the main "owner" of, I like to run VyOS for firewall and routing. This is the open-source fork of Vyatta, and Ubiquiti's EdgeOS is a commercial sibling (granted, EdgeOS has or at least had some advantages over IPv6 PD). VyOS is debian arm based, so lots of packages like ZeroTier VPN can be added easily. I like VyOS/EdgeOS because of the full CLI/scriptable config.

I recently setup 3 of these for a radio club. These will live in mountaintop tower locations and provide VPN+NAT. Since these might get modified by others, I went with OPNSense. OPNSense is a fork of PFSense with a nice Web UI and community support.
I opened my 5 cards across the span of 13 years, and was advised to have more credit cards as only having 1 was negatively impacting my credit score. According to Experian the average American has 4 credit cards.

Also chase incentivizes you to open up more than one card with their signup bonuses.

Do You Fall for Sunk Costs? Few Easy Ways to Tackle Them
Ask HN: What are your best hacker tips/tricks/tools?
Hey HN Community,

What are some of your favorite/most useful hacking tools you've picked up over the years? I mean "hacking" a little less in the computer security sense and a little more in the creative problem solving sense. But I'll be happy with either.

For example, about a year ago I learned how to use charles proxy with a self signed ssl cert to view all the network activity coming in and out my phone and computer. This was awesome because then I could make api calls directly to whatever I wanted.

Previous to that I'd learned how to decompile and recompile android APK's. One of the funner projects I've done in a while was decompiling an app, installing my own ssl cert (via the android manifest), recompiling and looking at the network traffic directly using the proxy.

I want to learn more things like this. What are some tools/tricks you've picked up over the years where you sat back and thought "Woah... that was cool"?
Totally agree on Manager Tools. Great stuff.

The best book on the topic for me was peopleware [1].

Radical candor [2] was something I started but only got to the first 50 pages. Was also good.

Was UTF8 in development for 15 years without a 1.0? I don’t really know enough about it to interpret the Wikipedia page on its history.

Android 8 user here, because I got tired of hunting for half-working internet supported releases for my phone. Plus, to be honest, I lament the 2.3 times: apps were literally 100x smaller, and the OS was much simpler from every perspective.

I still have a HTC Desire with the last 2.3 based MIUI, and that OS is still wonderful.
Seems somewhat oversimplified. It's much easier to "overdose" on LSD or MDMA than tobacco or alcohol. Additionally, frequent use of LSD and MDMA have pretty severe health consequences much sooner than frequent use of tobacco or alcohol. I'd also add that LSD poses a similar driving hazard to alcohol. On the other hand, tobacco and alcohol don't have any therapeutic qualities unlike MDMA and LSD. Personally. I think alcohol's harm is amplified by its prevalence throughout society, if one could buy MDMA and LSD at every shop and venue it'd be a disaster on par or worse than alcohol.

This is ultimately my problem with databases. We use the term as a catchall, but every implementation is different and is unified only in that they store tables and can respond to SQL.

People treat deciding your app will have a database as a design decision when in reality it is only about 10% of a design decision.

Yeah, I've been banking for 25+ years, so that isn't really what I was asking about.

My main credit card has all sorts of incentives to open more lines that I don't pay any attention to.
He’s saying if someone gets in the habit of using that style they have to be very careful. If they forget to change True to False when using an OR that it could have major consequences. Performance being the least of concerns.
It was a blunt comment but I did not find it disrespectful. Sometimes it is necessary not to beat around the bush as non-disabled people tend to do when dealing with topics to do with disability or accessibility.
five cards with one bank would be pretty uncommon, not sure why you would do this. but there are certain combinations of credit cards from the same bank that have a synergistic effect with rewards/benefits. for example, assembling the "chase trifecta" is a goal for many credit card optimizers.[0]

I don't do anything that complicated myself, but I do have several cashback cards with different rewards categories to maximize my overall cashback rate. I don't particularly care which bank issues the card; I just decide based on signup bonus + rewards. I don't actually have any use for credit (lol) so I sign up for at least one new card every year. I just keep my credit score high enough that I don't get denied for new cards.

I used to read physical books.

Then I started using Kindle devices, which were a lot less enjoyable but more more convenient (can carry anywhere, get books instantly) and my reading time increased dramatically.

Then I started using the Kindle app on my phone, which was even less enjoyable but even more convenient and accessible, and now I easily do 30-60 minutes each day (time I could've easily spent lost in social media).

It's a really strange phenomenon to read about. In the Netherlands unpaid debts are registered which affects your ability to get mortgages and other types of loans, but that is about the extent of it, and more of a flag than a score. There is no numeric value you can influence other than not having any open debts (mortgage excluded). Credit cards are really only used for purchases abroad on the internet; the whole notion of using credit cards to build up credit score is… foreign.
I’m an anti cheat dev and I think client-side anti cheats make no sense on a typical MMO. Pretty much all cheats for those types of games can be detected server-side. RuneScape is a great example of this.
I honestly don't care who this guy is. A centralised server providing this service is a problem. It's not like he is using some magic decentralised thing to run queries so we have mathematical proof nobody can aggregate data. No, it's a server he alone has root running whatever software.

The notion itself of revealing info about you to a 3rd party in order to verify that more info hasn't been leaked seems... conflictual at some level.

Is this a real thing? I've always had 1 card and highest credit score.

If that's true, then why has the WIV removed public access from their database? It serves only to remove a valuable scientific resource, and to cast suspicion on China; so why would they do such a thing? Do you genuinely believe that even with the international importance of the topic, no one in China can figure out how to keep a simple database-backed website up?

And again, Deigin et al. report assembly of the genome of a novel coronavirus from contamination in other published reads sequenced in the same facility:

https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.01533

As far as I can tell, this virus wasn't previously known outside the WIV. Am I mistaken? I emphasize again that their novel virus is relevant not because it's an ancestor of SARS-CoV-2 (it's not), but because if the WIV had one unpublished virus, it gets harder to claim it's ridiculous that they might have had others.
These are good questions to evaluate, as the author points out there is no "right" way to do this. Making sure your idea solves real customers problems that align with your personal values and goals makes sense to me.

We are rapidly approaching a point where you cannot do commerce without a bank card of some sort. My daughter is old enough to walk to the ice cream store with her friends, but they will not sell her any ice cream unless she pays using a card. They are unable to except cash.

I tried getting her a card, but none of the local banks would do it, and even the prepaid cards that you buy at supermarkets will not allow you to activate in your name unless you are a certain age. I finally found a card with FamZoo that worked for her, but it was way more difficult than it should have been finding a way for her to legally buy ice cream from that store.

I am paying closer attention when I go to a brick and mortar store these days, and I am seeing more and more signs advising customers that their cash is no good there.

This is a scourge that is starting to get out of control. My HOA advised me that I would only be able to pay them using a money transfer app. When I tried using it, it rejected my bank account information for some reason. I sent them a check with a letter explaining that their required method of payment didn't work for me. They didn't deposit the check, and then they tried charging me late fees. I had to go out of my way to escalate to resolve that.

This is getting to the point that we will need some regulation to protect the right to pay for ordinary things like ice cream and HOA dues with cash and checks.
I do hope that that is the outcome of the court cases, but I'm not an expert in antitrust law.
> but a vast percentage of people are vulnerable to the gradual creep of addiction.

Sorry, you're gonna have to back up this rather hefty statement with some facts. I've never seen any data to suggest that a "vast percentage" of people are at risk of becoming alcoholics.
I used to assume that. Until I met folks who seemed to be able to switch from micro details to macro "big picture" rather seamlessly. The extreme example of that is a Gates review[0]. Maybe that's why John Sculley never stood a chance.

I think in this case the demographic split actually is correlated to the merits. As in, if you’re in a dense city, you’re probably more pro-rail, because you’ll be the one actually using that rail. If you’re in a culdesac suburb or even further from the city, you’re likely to not be pro-rail because you won’t be using it.

You could call that tribal, or you could just call it “voting for your interests”. It feels slightly different from the tribal issues I see more frequently (policing, healthcare, schooling), but maybe I’m fooling myself.
The problem of the Chinese social score is the fact that political behavior online could affect it. So it can create a climate of fear and self censorship.

The US credit score while it has its problems at least as well known rules of what impacts it. I know that if I have a good high credit score I can get a mortgage with a decent interest rate whereas, in other countries, there's no score I can check to know what my chances are and no public way to evaluate how banks see me and if they are likely to approve me or not.
