Plaid is used a lot of places, including services mostly for the wealthy. For example, a previous startup I worked at used Carta to manage employee stock options.

The default mechanism to transfer cash into Carta to exercise your options was with Plaid.

Now to be fair, you also had the option to use check routing numbers to perform the transfer. But I have to imagine that most people use plaid without a second thought.
Aircraft Acoustics 101: The Science of Building Quieter Aircraft
The blog author seems rightfully fed up with years' worth of people obliviously asking them about children when they've chosen to live childfree. It's no surprise that this mistargeted email is received so poorly.

That said, I think it's really imprecise to infer whether someone has a child from their age, sex, and marital status. Regardless of how many 30-year-old married women in SE Railways' database show strong signs of having children (e.g., they regularly book child's fares), the consequence of incorrectly believing a woman has a child when they really don't is potentially really bad. How many infertile couples, recovering stillbirth mothers, or childfree advocates who complain eloquently enough to get to the front page of HN do you want to risk upsetting with this tone-deaf campaign email?
This feels like it’s in the same family as straw.page[1]. Both are a really refreshing break from homogeneous minimalist web design that’s taken hold over the past few years.

CMR has been one of the worst possible fonts that proliferated throughout the academic world. I don't understand it, perhaps it's just me, but there are dozens of other fonts that are more readable on paper and on screen.

There's just something very wrong about the glyphs, the relative widths of letters, and the way that some of the letters get sort of squished together to make the text nearly unreadable.

I remember way back in the 1990's when I had to get an approval from the head of our department to submit my thesis in another font because I refused to use CMR.
It's amusing to watch folks bend over backwards to propose workarounds for the hard thing that solves the problem: developing a sustainable, energy dense fuel.
I think you're underestimating just how passionate the Node crowd is on customization and reusability. There are feature-rich, extremely popular packages which act as a stdlib in many ways for particular functions - yet there are constantly alternatives to ecosystem-dominating packages that spring up. Some gain traction, some do not. I don't see this changing, even with a robust stdlib. It's the culture around the toolset that drives this.
Just FYI for others, I also sent a contact on the site last time around, but I actually did get a response. It took maybe a week or so, but they're probably very busy!
No wealth was created or destroyed in the making of pretty much every luxury good, currency, stock, loan, ... That is not what defines a ponzi scheme.

Furthermore, if you need money in 4-5 countries (even inside the Eurozone), you'll find that several cryptocurrencies are really quite good for that purpose, and that banks are not. So I for one have found value in owning these (mostly temporarily, although I have some on hand now).

Might be fun to do it with Dogecoin I must say. I should give it a try.

Having built a CSV import pipeline handling a few thousand different CSV files from almost the same number of different providers: I've probably seen almost everything one can mess up while writing out data: Invalid or missing escaping, double or per column string encoding, truncated columns, BOMs, EANs in E notation, Month names instead of numbers and so on. Out of curiosity: do you handle any of that?

Haiku is ideal for embedded graphical systems, since it’s designed as a single user low latency unified system. As the technology stack is unified (from the higher level user space to low level kernel), with a unified desktop environment, unified IPC mechanism, unified file system, unified audio and media system etc, it allows system builders to make lean embedded applications and tools. Case in point - the Medo media editor which does 4K videos, dozens of OpenGL pluggins and binary addons, and the entire multilingual package is 1.28Mb. Crazy efficiency due to being a cohesive integrated system.

Haiku is the ideal system for a Risc-V embedded device (think car console, tablet, media centre, info kiosk etc)

That is an implementation detail of bitcoin, not a fundamental aspect of cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin is cryptocurrency 1.0, or proof of concept, and the concept is well and truly proven.

Developing others which operate more efficiently than the proof-of-concept or 1.0 version, or even than the existing banks and credit card exchanges is just engineering and iteration, and hardly a great leap of imagination or faith.
Corrected. Thank you :)
It can be an issue if the person's family is unaware of it and they are actively engaging in extramartial relations.
> One of the issues I have had with "idea people," is that they think that every deviation from their Big Idea is "bikeshedding."

That's probably a confusing example.

I don't mean that implementers aren't doing anything. What I mean is something like this: the people who are building (or planning to build) a bike shed are often the last people to realize an obvious problem like a) the target audience is birds and b) birds don't ride bikes.

My professed skill is that I can get people to shift to working on a birdhouse. That avoids the danger of ending up with something like a bike shed retrofitted with pneumatic tubes designed to pump in birds from the outside world.

I'm not claiming this is a unique skill. But things like SVG's path arc syntax exist, so it's not ubiquitous.
AWS as far as I know does not promise a specific "public" speed, they only give you the speed of the local network interface (for some instances just in vague terms, not as a number), and the internet connection is somewhere below that. The internet access is also an extra component there, e.g. you connect a gateway to your instances local network.

Your typical VPS provider setup doesn't work that way, so it's not very surprising they just apply one speed limit to the interface, which is geared towards public traffic limits, whereas with AWS the interface limit is geared towards internal traffic and the external limit set elsewhere. With some VPS providers you can get an internal network as an extra.
Tribalism is social nonsense. I taught myself C in 92 and Java 1.0 in 96. That Java was extremely verbose compared to C for chaining calls or just normal method calls. Rust is also verbose for constructing types and performing type manipulations. C is verbose for getting things done because of its low-level nature. As productivity and safety goes, I'd choose Rust over Java or C as a systems language for most purposes. The JVM is a secure foundation for running applications in multiple languages. Clojure, Kotlin, JRuby make excellent replacements for the Java language while still on the JVM.

JVM and CLR runtimes have an enormous amount of production experience baked into them. BEAM also would be fine.

It's a toolbox with tools that are better suited for some jobs than others, and it also depends which ones a group of developers know.

You mean like the people who decided to flag this submission? The complaint about the email is very reasonable. Addressing someone by their first name – as if you knew them personally – and also incorrectly assuming they have children is outright rude.
That can be done I think. There are some VOC and particulate sensors that can be had for cheap, and they might respond to human recognizable stink.

It would be easier to put a water flow sensor on the toilet though.
Template errors with g++ vs clang++ are what made me abandon the gcc toolchain for my dev environment (I still build against both compilers in my CI/CD though).

Rust wasn't even a thing (not as hype and mature) at that time.

Rust is nice, but the hype train is toxic (and that's true for every language/technology).
How many people audit their dependency authors more than 1 level deep? That's the problem: I know who wrote all of my first level dependencies (react, react-router, redux, reacstrap, etc). I don't know who wrote _their_ dependencies, and the 3rd level, 4th level. And I don't think anyone has the time to adequately evaluate that every time a dependency's version gets bumped given how deep the graph goes.
It's not about what's better for me. It's about avoiding global extinction events and not keeping all our eggs in one basket. it's also about sacrifice in order to push the envelope and to rekindle The drive for exploration and discovery. it's about escaping before it is made impossible by people in this thread arguing that we should be punished for even trying.

I have a similar anecdotal case of mistargeted marketing, but I wouldn't write a furious blog post about it. Being a bit of a petrolhead and having done regular searches for pictures and information on Aston Martin cars, I see ads from dealerships offering me particular cars with price tags well above what's in my savings account.

Shall I complain that the algorithm is not aware of the number in my savings account, and is also not aware of the fact that I have a 3-year old child which cannot possibly be put in a 2-seat Vantage?
>You don't really understand something unless you can explain it to your grandma

I've seen a lot of blog posts written for this reason, and they're all pretty crappy. I really hope that wasn't seriously a reason to write a book.
"turn something on its head" normally means "to treat or present something in a completely new and different way[1]" e.g. when trying to fix a machine, flipping a part over to see if it fits better "the other way"

In this conversation, it was used to mean "flipping the script", to change or reverse something dramatically

The grandparent comment wanted to ask "the opposite question", not "how to make it easier to reverse engineer something", but "how to make it harder to reverse engineer something".

> PHP is inelegant etc. ... who were still using 'inferior' tools

Well... PHP is inelegant, and there's a reason that it's been abandoned. However, it's actually worthwhile to spend some time discovering that for yourself - if not about PHP per se, then about a different "blunt" tool. Part of the modern computer science discipline is working through exactly why so many simple-seeming solutions fall apart - it isn't obvious, and it's really important to internalize.

Many IT workers are smug. Programmers, network admins, DBAs, sysadmins, architects. They all think they know something that other people don't (which is sometimes true!) and then transmute that feeling into a sense of superiority, which funnily enough ends up limiting them.

All programming languages are garbage to me now. Even my favorite languages. Most systems, networks, databases, are garbage to me. Frameworks, architectures, patterns, paradigms, protocols, standards, conventions..... all garbage.

I now see the whole system as like a municipal waste treatment plant. If we work really hard, the highest thing we can aspire to is to prevent waves of unprocessed shit from exploding out a release valve into a nearby stream. Our work should be unglamorous and practical, because ultimately someone's going to have to drink our water, and making sure it doesn't have shit in it should be our highest priority.

But a skilled programmer knows how to assimilate a new code base. Clearly they aren’t going to claim to know the new code base before looking at it (so they aren’t going to claim to “know it all”)
Great job! The builder is fun and intuitive. I especially like how you handle responsiveness - very smooth.
Do you basically use relative units (eg percentages) for all sizes and distances to accomplish that?
I've been looking for something like this. Has anyone used it who can give any real-world feedback?
Hm. Looks like gn refers to:
https://gn.googlesource.com/gn

Guessing it is inspired by v8/chrome build system? Maybe have a look at nodejs for freeBSD for inspiration? Or just provide ninja/gn some other way.

Little sad to see a build process import binaries from the net either way...
I hope people won’t attribute 100% of that as inflation. It rather due to supply issues.
That is a valid way to look at it. I and probably a lot of our former Broadband committee would tend to agree with you. However, the last time I spoke with any of them was spring of 2020, to thank them again for their efforts - because I was thinking about how supremely screwed we all would have been going into Covid without high speed internet in town. I think all things considered now, they were more or less equally happy with our (imperfect) outcome as I.

Could this kind of technology also one day make its way to consumer laptops? It seems like low-end computers are still so damn expensive for how shitty they are. I feel like I get more bang for my buck with a Lenovo x220 + a fresh SSD + a 8GB RAM upgrade (running Xubuntu, Mint XFCE, et al) than any new low/mid-market laptop.

Heh, I thought about making one of these myself; Adafruit had some instructions on mounting this gear in a waterproof enclosure with downward facing holes for rain-resistant exterior mounting. But when I brought it up to my wife, her point was that air quality is always extremely good here, what would another sensor tell me?
Your comparison does not make sense, though. The question is, how many people who are not at risk from the disease do you have to vaccinate, and how many people are there who can not be vaccinated and would contract Covid-19. Let's say with your numbers there are thousands of (young) people who die from the vaccination. How many people who can't be vaccinated would die if those young people would not get the vaccination?

What other risky things to we ask citizens to do, exactly? People certainly choose to do other risky things. But how many are mandated?
>Opportunistic use of neighboring substitute servers is entirely safe, thanks to reproducible builds.

How does this work? Just because the builds are reproducible doesn't mean that the artifacts published by substitute servers are actually the outputs of the build process you expect.

> tribalism

Apart from the juvenility of social memia, there is the fact that programming languages are themselves buggy, opinionated expressions of how to solve a problem. Given enough followers, some languages become very like a temple that sees no ill within its own walls.

A programmer must be able to reason clearly about the code, or something (or some opinion) has become dogma.

There are many good programming languages. Leaving tribe and tribalism brings maturity.

Money supply issues?

Pumping this much free money into the economy is going to cause prices to go up. We’re seeing labor prices go up.

Whether minimum wage should be 12 or 15 is tangential. We’re seeing where people will not take a job unless it pays significantly more than the can draw from COVID benefits. Those pay premiums mean your groceries, coffee, fast food, then rent, then real estate, etc., etc., is going to cost more.
