To the previous poster's point: it didn't say which private key. There can be multiple with cloud storage.
There's something funny about proudly proclaiming no GC and written in C++ for a golang IDE. It's not wrong; different tradeoffs for different uses. Just funny.
Swype is absolutely fantastic when it works right. I also agree that it would greatly benefit from having a better algorithm behind it.

Given how accurate search suggestion algorithms are becoming, I find it surprising that keyboard suggestions are as bad as they are. If swype could have the same predictive abilities as search engines it would be a major boost in speed and comfort.
You shared in public a screenshot of a private conversation?

(Yes, I know, Radon did it too. Still rubs me the wrong way.)
I don’t see how it would be especially if you pair it with a questionable asking if they treat all former employees like this.
What people said in sibling posts was true before today. Now we'll also have spatial audio, music sharing, video sharing, controls to filter out noise (or not) in real time and other cool features. Although not on the Web I expect.

That was a clone of Replit that we made work at Codecademy. I started working on Replit (or repl.it) back when I was a student in Jordan. I didn't have a laptop so every time I wanted to get some programming done I had to setup a development environment at the university or at work. The idea for Replit was when you needed a repl to do some coding you should easily get one from anywhere including a mobile device. I thought it would benefit many people, especially those who don't have the means to buy expensive computers.

It took 2 years of work to get something working and in 2011 we launched on HN (2011 web archive snapshot here https://web.archive.org/web/20111007050930/http://repl.it/ and HN launch here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3056490). It was the first of its kind and it inspired a lot of projects and still does today. It was totally open-source (https://github.com/replit-archive/repl.it) and after the launch it was used as infrastructure by Codecademy (which later employed me) and Udacity and many others to deliver interactive coding in the browser. I was thrilled about that.

Now, a lot of people implicitly assume that in a dispute between for-profit company and an open-source project, the for-profit company must be in the wrong. But there is some line that it's unethical to cross in copying a former employer's product (if you don't believe that, you can stop reading now, because no argument will convince you) and I think to someone who knew Replit's architecture well, this project would clearly
be across it. It copied even unique, invisible aspects of Replit's architecture that I consider to be flaws. That's the hallmark of copying versus merely writing one's own program to solve the same problem.

I would like an IDE like this but for Rust.

Some day I will get angry enough and I'll have to make it myself.
The Palm devices were great, I had one of the originals, then Samsung had a flip-phone version, and Treos followed after. I used the heck out of all of them, and even wrote some code for the platform. It was really sad that they lost their way.

"Form factor" can be a slippery notion. The genius of the iPad design, I think, is that it _couldn't_ be mistaken for an educational device. It actually looked like it belonged in a leather folio next to some important papers, not in your kids' school bag.
And the TL;DR is that OP found com/aux/nul special names in Windows again. Which is a bit of a stretch to call it a 'mistake' if it was intentional and useful at the time (arguably still today, at least for 'nul').

I thought they found a bug in ALGOL60 code or something, which would have been funny as last week's pentest was written in an arcane language like that and likely last updated around the same time (not something we see every day; quite the opposite in terms of reinventing the wheel actually).

While I think this is extremely shady and will avoid ever using a tool like this in the future, does it actually break google's TOS? It seems like a valid defense could be made.
The "Slovak Rabbi" was Michael Ber Weissmandel. If FDR and co. had demonstrated even a fraction of his determination to save his fellow Jews, many hundreds of thousands could have been saved. That "not getting distracted" is an absolutely terrible excuse. If FDR had acted, the almost 1 million Hungarian jews still living might not have perished.
Lots of pumping infrastructure? Pressure injected grout curtains?

In short, lots more money.
I briefly (3 semester) went to an art school where the president’s motto is, “there’s no such thing as a starving artist.” I learned my major has a rate of <10% of being hired after graduation. I saw a several graduates working minimum wage in the area. Friends who stayed to graduate are struggling with minimum loan payments even after finding professional work. I’m now in tech and am still paying debts off after more than 10 years.

Artists don’t need college. They need shared workspaces to learn from and inspire each other. They need apprenticeships.
Except the windows tablets suck as tablets. The touch ecosystem is barren because a lot of services just expect you'll use the website or the desktop app.
>Based on ... I have probable cause to believe that the aforementioned property may be seized...

Forgive me if this is a dumb question; I have not used a blockchain explorer for anything consequential. Isn't that wallet just the last place it ended up? So, you have chain of custody but does that prove that the owner of that wallet is the "target"?
>Asking devs to validate submissions is insane.

1. The pulls got copied over to gitlab.

2. Yea the gitlab library transition was not clean...technically it was never finished. Once we get to RC1 for V6. I myself hope to switch over fixing up all our web content instead of chasing down Windows platform bugs.

2. The codebase devs actually have no involvement with the libraries. The libraries are already community ran. The problem is most people would rather file issues asking for new parts rather than finding a way to help.

3. Most everyone is a volunteer largely except for the two that make money doing paid support which is a job in of itself. We can't organize interns because none of us have the interest in burning more free time than we already do.

4. The current mindset of the librarians has been _quality_. Because bad PCBs due to component issues can be expensive and time consuming problems. And issues with components will not only harm trust of the libraries but also KiCad

5. Could we develop some sort of less-gitlab-dependent web system? Sure. Do we have the engineers with free time to do it? Absolutely not in a million years. I dream of doing it, I certainly have the ability to but I need to have a life too ;)

The bigger issue is the industry, hardwarists can have little or no programming background or don't feel comfortable outside whatever low level programming they do. So I don't fault them but that's the hand being dealt. This is a niche industry tool with niche demographic.
Those devices didn’t support newer iOS versions. It appears that this change means that iOS 14 security updates will continue to be made available to iOS 15-compatible devices after iOS 15 is released.
I’ll leave the tech stack specifics to Kristine.

From clinical standpoint, the algorithms (re: vision testing and beyond) we design and implement will need to be tested against the gold standard (eg whatever method is used in person.) Fortunately this is fully in my wheelhouse, hehe.
You asked:
> Can you support that assertion? I got the sense of your position before; my question is, what makes it true?

I disagree for the reasons below that

> Well that is a convenient formulation for someone who disagrees and has no facts

Your question is inherently about how the claim of truth is made in the type of dialectic the 1619 project use. I showed you how critical theory projects like the 1619 project makes a claim and deals with truthiness. I made it specific to this project and how it inherently makes unfalsifiable claims as it builds upon “lived experiences” of convenient political activist utility.

I even showed you an example of how you overturn a claim in critical theory projects, with an example relevant to the 1619 project. This example makes it very clear how different this type of academic dialectic is from the liberal project.

It always struck me as improbable that all these high profile (and notoriously hard/impossible to attribute) attacks on “critical infrastructure” or whatever are always instantly and authoritatively pinned (by US authorities) on groups operating in the US’s geopolitical enemies.

“Russian hackers” once again, eh?
> The concept would never fly today

I mean I don't know if I would go that far; things like Hipster Hitler got a fair amount of traction, at least for a bit [0]. Hardly indicative of the entirety of human culture, and obviously it's not a major network sitcom like Hogan's Heroes (or Seinfeld).

Also, a staple of the Call of Duty franchise is a tongue-and-cheek mode of running around killing zombie Nazis, isn't it? (I admittedly haven't played it), and it's not like "Iron Sky"[1] was meant to be taken super seriously.

I think it's unnecessarily reductive to say "one generation is ok with subject X and another generation isn't." I don't think humans really form big, homogeneous groups completely based around the year they were born.

Use 2:1 leverage to turn that 20k into 40k.

When to buy:

Use Warren Buffet's famous quote: "Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful." If you're reading an article about why XXX stock is great, it's already too late to get in (meme stocks might be an exception).

If it feels like you have to buy XXX stock NOW or the price will go up, it's already too late. Take a few days to mull it over. Never FOMO.

When to sell:

Set stop losses. I set a stop loss at -10%. Diamond hands is a tactic people tell others to use when they themselves want to sell.

If you are at the point where your gains are good enough that you want to take a screenshot and send it to your friend--this is a good time to sell.

EDIT: Because I realize I answered the question "How would you invest 20k in the stock market?" and not "How would you invest 20k?": I would absolutely run from real estate right now. Prices are sky high due to inflation / lumber shortage / supply. You would be buying at peak.

If I had a spare 20k I would use maybe 1k to attend a conference and learn a skill which would help me earn more money in the future. I would put 15k into the stock market using above method, or crypto. And I would use the remaining money to fund a passive income online business.
Honestly I don't think many here subscribe to that extreme viewpoint you posted - it seems like a straw-man argument.
Cue article from PG on how founders have to watch out for upstarts by giving them a lashing and issuing legal threats.
I'm just going to ask this here since you seem to know your stuff: Just how do you learn such a multi-layer setup? I'm asking mostly from an initial productivity/motivation perspective: Right now I'm happily touch-typing on my QWERTY keyboard (technically it's QWERTZ, but that's close enough) based on muscle memory. If I started learning an entirely new layout, how could I ever be productive when always confusing different layers or keys for a few weeks?

On the other hand, maybe switching keyboard layouts is less hard than I imagine. I can mentally switch from QWERTZ to QWERTY with a little effort nowadays (after opening Vim on terminals with misconfigured keyboard layout a few times, you quickly learn where to find the : key...) But then again, QWERTZ and QWERTY are quite close and rather simple.
>cheap and reputable supermarket brand ones last just long

Absolutely not. There are plenty of Youtubers testing this theory. Here is a pretty credible reviewer

I personally have had nightmarish results with Amazon Basics Alkaline. In my experience these batteries have a greater tendency than other brands to leak over time and have destroyed multiple electronic equipment that I have owned. It was a big mistake on my part because I bought a large package of them, installed them and then didn't realize that many of them leaked until it was too late and they have eaten away many terminals in the different devices I put them in.
The article seems to talk about energy and electrons as if they are interchangeable. It also talks about "scavenging energy from the environment". I couldn't tell where the energy is actually coming from. Is there some store of potential energy that's getting depleted? Is it absorbing ambient heat and cooling its surroundings?
I want to see hoe "FBI agents will show up" in Russia. Or China. I giggled.
Also completely baffled how the feds got access to the private key and why an elite Russian hacking group would store their crypto on a US based server.

At the same time, the obvious tin foil hat answer of it was the feds who concocked the entire scheme also doesn't add up. If the NSA/CIA was behind it, they would be smart enough to not use a US based server / wallet. That makes the story inconsistent, and brings up the questions I am asking here. Instead, they would just use a clean wallet (preferably out of Russia). I.E. the misdirection and misinformation does not add up if it was an "inside job" by the US government.
You're comparing the right of a company to censor something that promotes violence or hate on their property and does harm to their business versus a large US corporation pandering to, though censorship of their citizens' struggle for democracy, a totalitarian government that oppresses its citizens and commits genocide against certain ethnic groups.

Yeah, totally the same.
> deliberate booby trap

I would say that optional Copyright registration and spray and pray is the only viable monetization path for visual artists. Register and make your art available for others without a ton of watermarks or anything. Find them with reverse image search later.

It is very underused because the artists are largely segregated from the legal system, due to lack of exposure alongside real or imagined costs.

But it is ripe for use.
Hi Amjad, thanks for taking the time to respond. Can you please talk to Radon and work with him to remove the offending "unique and invisible" aspects, to make it so he can put his project back up? There must be some way to make it so that these projects can co-exist without causing any trouble, and it can probably done in a way that is much cheaper than bringing a lawsuit.
Free WordPress* themes are particularly bad in this regard. Since they're expected to contain HTML anyway, it's altogether too easy for the author of a theme to include a couple of links to a site they want to promote. Some themes take this to the next level by obfuscating the code that generates the promotional links, and/or including other code which makes the site not work properly if the links are removed.

*: and themes for other web applications, but mostly WordPress these days

google isn't the cesspool, people who want to appear at the top of a list of search results are doing whatever it takes to create a cesspool, because that's what it takes to earn more money.

being willing to make other things in order to have more money always creates cesspools.
I doubt this actually matters, but it looks like almost all those patents expire very soon.

I'm guessing rearchitecting to circumvent the patents means they're not going to unrearchitect just to open it up. If I'm understanding things correctly, instead of p2p it gets tunneled through a server to avoid the patents. Since FaceTime launched, most services realized with more than 2 people you'd want to go through a server anyway (and you also get benefits of re-encoding for lower bit-rates). If you rely on Apple's servers to tunnel your call I imagine they're not going to open it up.
More than quality, Facetime seems to have much lower latency for me than other options, and this leads to much more natural-feeling conversations.
Not excusing apple's poor drive performance, but just to point out some of the differences.

Youtube has extensive global caching infra, both on the edge of Google's network and offnet within ISPs networks, to make sure videos are served from a location close to the user.

Also most of the videos people are gonna watch will be popular ones. I.e. they may already be filled in the cache. Compared to your icloud files which may only be accessed by you.
If they were that valuable why would you ever let them leave?

You can't end the employment agreement and still expect others to act like they work for you. Every ex-employee is a business person on the same level as you. If they see an opportunity and beat you, you were a fool for letting them go.

> That does not seem to be consistent with declining birthrates in developed countries. By and large, the more freedom and self sufficiency women have, the lower the birth rate

I have read this before and I think it's an accurate phenomenon. There's some amount of 'evolutionary warfare' between sexes. I think the biological mechanism for it is called 'imprinting'. Also women have preference for someone who will help with the cost of pregnancy (which can be fatal) and rearing, as for men, they might not include this in their calculus.

> I would also guess tribes that prioritize monogamous relationships with multiple generations cooperating with each other outlast tribes that do not.

The picture is, of course, complicated. Societies/tribes have varied between polygamy and monogamy, and a number of factors are involved, including culture. All better explained by that lecture series. Though keep in mind is over a decade old
Even at the app store, they asked me to remove the password on my device. I still don't understand why there isn't a better way to do diagnostics.

I don’t live in Texas, I live somewhere that the natural gas doesn’t go out because people will die if it does, so our infrastructure is winterized and maintained. We get some -30F every winter and the natural gas service is always there.

You could swap out the NG generator for a diesel one with a day tank and then you don’t have to worry about NG service :)

A 30kwH battery wall is going to last 6-12 hours at most anyways.

I can’t recall NG service disruptions on a large scale in my state, and I’m 37.
I think it's kind of silly to act like groups of people separated by year really has any meaning for most things. I (an Anglophone millenial) tend to enjoy really edgy subversive comedy, as do most of my friends of the same age. My grandmother (a bit too old to be a boomer) will get upset if I say any word that could be considered vulgar.
As someone who has been on the receiving end of federal seizure orders for cryptocurrency private keys, they were in my case satisfied by publishing a transfer (signature) to a USG address, not actual disclosure of private key material, despite that being explicitly stated in the order.

Résumé/CV: http://gwn.wtf/resume.html

Email: dev at gwn dot wtf

Balanced full stack product engineer. Very good at both web apps, mobile apps, APIs, Postgres, Linux, mentorship, and communication in general. Touch typist, VIM ninja, refactoring monster. With an academic background of philosophy (!)

Mostly startup oriented, developed a lot of projects for different teams and industries (finance, digital marketing, automation, online education, e-commerce).

My specialty is to build simple systems with few moving parts that contain as little accidental complexity as possible. I'm pragmatic but always chase proper implementations at the same time. (See resume for more)

Lately into blockchain (although not an evangelist) and fintech. But open to any kind of projects.

Always looking for interesting & challenging projects and smart people. Open to contract / project-based work & consultancy. May consider to be a technical co-founder as well.
Strange. I have an iPad Pro with 4G data and tablet mode works fine.
As someone with $20,000 in audio 2 channel hifi, I agree. But it's way more complicated. I pay $15USD per month for Qobuz, of which 70% is paid out to the record labels (NOT the artists). That's $10.50 a month. I listen to my system about 7 hours per week. 2/3rds of that is stuff I own. That leave about 10 hours a month of streaming, and I'm paying the labels $1/hour.

I would much prefer if things were broken down further.

For example, I pay Roon $10 USD/month. They simplify my music experience, integrate my personal collection with streaming collection, and interface perfectly with my hardware.

I would like in the future to pay artists directly, and interface with a "streaming" company for the procurement of said audio.

I would rather pay for the data I use to a third party company, and have more choice in how I distribute my money to artists.

Right now, Qobuz makes $4.50/month to stream me unlimited hi resolution music. That's great! But I would like something like a penny a play direct to the artist, and the rest to the streamer.

And, I would like to FORCE others to do the same ;)

Why should I subsidize someone that listens for 8 hours a day in the background?

Break it down. Pay $0.15-0.20 an hour direct to the artist and a $5 a month to the server.

Or maybe it's a penny a song, but at least 50% goes to the artist, and the rest to the label.
It’s very frustrating when companies come up with these blatant lies.

Just say you’re censoring it on behalf of China. We don’t believe your “human error” lie, and it’s insulting to our intelligence to even try.
