There are barges which could hold some cargo temporarily. But there's no practical way to move most cargo from a freighter to a barge without the type of large cranes found in ports. There are only a few floating cranes in the world large enough to even try.
Sorry if I was not clear, most of the time when you edit a config file you decide what editor you use, so you would run

nano /etc/congig.cfg

my only issue was with crontab, since it was using nano but someone changed it to vim so I was surprised by it, I really had to google how to exit it. Since I edit cronjobs once a year and for config files I can use nano it would be a waste to learn vim, I would just forget all the shortcuts - not sure how other people memory works by me I forget stuff I do not use , like regexp I use them 2 times a year and each time I need to read again what symbol does what.

I am not sure who to blame for making vim the default (in EDITOR), I could swear it was nano and someone in our team had to switch it vim to fuck with the rest,
Possibly talking past each other then.

My statement was not that Netflix is providing Apple with value (I apologize if it came off that way), it's that Apple's customers are providing Apple with value by being a product that they sell to Netflix.

When Apple says that it provides a service that is "access to its userbase", that is Apple selling their customers as a product to another company.

When I talk about Apple trying to "have it both ways", what I refer to is Apple's simultaneous position that:

A) it monetizes customers directly rather than treating them as a product, which gives it a moral leg up over companies like Google/Facebook.

B) its customers are an asset that it is justified in selling access to.

Both of those statements can't be true at the same time, either it's monetizing access to its customer-base or it's not.
In the concrete world, selling sand to the Arabs is the pinnacle of irony
Well, yes. But in one case you're arguing for ban on technology (drones) and in another you're arguing against banning technology (encryption).

It's much easier not to ban something than to ban it, especially when the state is hostile.
If only a hundred million bonehead "managers" understood this concept. They still think they can multitask their way to free FTEs materializing out of nothing.
In countries that have been doing mass vaccination all year, this is not something that would even be noteworthy or worth tracking.
Kind of an aside, but I've been toying with a simple functional language based on Joy and when it came to exposing the filesystem it seemed too fraught with impurity, so instead I'm just using git as the data storage system. Instead of strings or blobs you have handles that are essentially three-tuples of (git object hash, offset, length). It's early days yet, but so far the approach seems promising. (In re: string literals, well, your literal is in a source file, and your source file is in git, so each literal has its tuple already, eh?)
Would you invest in a semiconductors startup?
Hello HN.
Help please
The desired effect of the mandate is to increase the percentage of the workforce that is vaccinated. It appears to be achieving that goal.

As has been mentioned many times on this thread and others, unvaccinated people are at least 5X more likely to contract and transmit COVID-19 to others.
And one of those would be....?
PhpStorm/Webstorm.

That is an interesting way to describe it and makes a lot of sense. One thing that I see discussed a lot is a question of value. Engineers message each other across the day lots of times and it causes the same multitasking issues and break of concentration for "bottom of things". However, sometimes that may unblock two other engineers for several days of productive work. This is where structure matters. Having a tech lead that can handle all these interruptions is ideal but it takes someone who can balance the managing and the execution. It is also the mark of a good manager; someone who understands that their success is actually to make everyone else successful and that means shielding them from the nonsense.

I tend to be skeptical of most studies that come out of psychology. Over half of them seem to be junk -

https://www.nature.com/articles/nature.2015.18248

That's not to say other areas are better by default. There is just a lot of junk science out there. "Study says X" is meaningless to me personally. "Study X was reproduced by A, B, C" is something I'd take notice of.
That would require guns becoming a societal norm again, which would require personal responsibility and self-control becoming societal norms again.
Ah. I see. It's using a neural net in the sense that it is literally a "generic function approximation" to make decisions on pathfinding based on depth maps (see 'johnthewise' response below). That's interesting: it foregoes the complex pathfinding algorithm for a trained "guess" based on how expert drone pilots handle the same stereoscopic depth map.

Fascinating!
A great example (and AFAIK, the first quantum biological reaction identified) is photosynthesis [1]. Quantum coherence is part of the energy transfer mechanism of photosynthesis.

I agree that merely posting on HN doesn't constitute a public launch.

But what about meeting all three of the conditions I laid out in the sentence you quoted: (1) marketing the site to the public, (2) accepting users, and (3) taking payments.

Arguably, at that point, you have veered out of hobby project territory and have publicly launched a business -- and that's where my criticism lies.
"...but in most places check cashing places are the cheapest and best option for the people they serve"

Yes, this is one-hundred percent precisely the problem! Cashing a check for me costs $0.00 because I have a bank account. The unbanked do not have this luxury, yet they are in much greater need in keeping every penny than I am. The USPS offering a cheaper way to cash checks would be a vast improvement. That fixes the problem (but then again, so would legislation setting a max check cashing fee of $3.00 or something similar - moves like that were made to reign in ridiculous credit card fees and the world kept turning).
Almost every nation has judges appointed by politicians, including every nation in the EU and North America. Kakistocracy is not rule of law. The idea that only in Poland should judges appoint their own replacement creates a different yardstick for them versus everyone else.

I get why the EU bureaucrats wouldn't want to give Polish politicians the same influence over judges as German or French politicians, as the EU views polish politicians as enemies, but no one with integrity or honesty would go along with that kind of doublespeak.
So, the fact that the faces I draw look like they went through a blender does not mean that I haven't studied drawing enough, it's just proof that I am this generation's Picasso and everyone petty enough to not recognize my genius is simply not acknowledging my creativity? Amazing! After all, was there ever a single serious artist who would go so low as to study anatomy, optics, geometry, perspective, architecture, etc. ?

I'll take a wild guess here that your technical artistry isn't in the field of fluid mechanics. There is a whole, very mature, very developed, field of fluid dynamics for visualizations out there. Just check out what people present at SIGGRAPH every year. It's amazing. They know exactly what they're doing. The thing with the visualization of many physical systems is that humans are really good at spotting discrepancies, e.g. if things don't bounce off well, or the smoke looks like honey - then it just looks really bad (like my blended face drawings) - but producing bad results doesn't automatically make me a great artist.
Everything fun on the web is broken in Safari... Pretty sure it's by design.
I remember XML support in .NET being excellent. The author could have used C# classes that would serialize/deserialize to/from the XML, then used built-in tools to generate an XML schema for the config files. The schema could then be consumed by vendors or other connected projects using .NET and have perfect, code-first, statically typed interop. You'd never be writing XML itself or the schemas or the serialization/deserialization code. You can't get any of that with YAML, it doesn't support that sort of safety. You'd have to manually implement all the safety checks and serialization/deserialization for a worse end result. Of course that would be a bad outcome.
I use VSCode locally. I can make some really small untested edits in github for typos and stuff.

Did think about putting a WYSIWYG editor in there but decided I didn't need one.
Great post. It has anything from low-level mechanical to high-level styling tips. There's another major factor that sometimes separates good and bad explanatory writing for me, and that's overcoming author's own "curse of knowledge"[1]. If author is fully aware of what's likely unknown to the reader and controls the flow of information explaining the unknowns one at a time, the article becomes a lot more digestible.

It’s too bad he didn’t reference bitmex or deribit. I mean you don’t need tether to simulate dollars from Bitcoin. Arthur Hayes was a close second to Matt Levine in the quality of his financial analysis in his crypto digest.
extremist != extreme

extreme is used to denote it's a far swing in the spectrum, extremist alludes to terrorism.
I shouldn't have said CRUD. I agree with you, there's a place for genius stuff everywhere.

What I meant is that there is also a lot of boring stuff that just needs to get done. A 10x programmer won't help you much there.
> Software is a social service. Its for other humans.

I deeply disagree with this Calvinist utilitarian sentiment. Its akin to saying sex is for making babies. Maybe its an academic thing - When I went to grad school for CS, on Day 1 my Algorithms Professor paraphrased Perlis's famous quote on the blackboard - "Shaft the paying customer!"

You can find the whole quote on the first page of SICP[1], or elsewhere[2]. imho its a highly toxic sentiment to think that whatever a programmer does is for other humans. Software as a Social Service...SAAS :)

imho the best software is written to scratch a personal itch. Not to appease this customer. Not for other humans. Not as a social service. In fact all the people I deeply admire in the software world - Arthur Whitney, Kenneth Iverson, Mattis & Kimball, Perlis, Dijkstra, hell even Linus, are generally characterized as egotistical assholes in the public space who really don't give a flying fuck about social service & humans but care deeply about the software they created for their own selfish reasons.

Mattis is quite explicit about this - "You should understand that the GIMP and GTK weren't written to fill holes in the software available under the GPL...GIMP was started because I wanted to make a Web page. GTK was started because I was dissatisfied with Motif...These are purely selfish reasons. That is probably why the projects...eventually succeeded. I find it much more difficult to work on something for selfless reasons."

Perlis - "I hope we don’t become missionaries. Don’t feel as if you’re Bible salesmen. The world has too many of those already. What you know about computing other people will learn."

otoh the people I deeply detest in software (too numerous to name) are generally these do-gooder types who write software to save the world & provide social service, employment to the masses, add "value" insert-marketing-speak-here etc...

I'm ok with the hypocrisy in pretending to care about software as a social service because I need to put food on the table like any other programmer on the market, but deep inside, I write code only for myself. I think a big fraction of developers are like that. There's no harm in saying it out loud.

This is true, the core of it is Apache arrow datafusion query engine, which is also a project I help maintain. I doubt you will be able to beat it with PHP though ;) The VM overhead alone will cause a big hit to your performance even if we can get JIT to work.
Couldn't agree more, thanks for this perspective!
I figure there are a lot of aspects to the job and I'm exceptional at some of the ones most people suck at, and I dont know much about some common things and can find that embarrassing at times. The rest I'm average. So I try to find work where I can bring those less common skills, and I try to fill my gaps too sometimes. Everyone is different, find a place that needs what you have to offer.

Ask HN: What brand of paper calendar do you use?
I used to use Moleskine calendars or other popular mass produced, cheaper calendars for years. Yet, two years ago a friend showed me a local, polish brand Papierniczeni. It turns out that a calendar can open flat (stay flat when opened) and become a really personal thing.

Do you use any nice, less known brands with interesting design and good quality? I am looking for some brands which stand out with unique/colorful design.
Because you can choose who you sell shares to as a private company and even more, you can restrict those people from selling shares to others that you do not approve of.
> This version is crippled. The plugin system works because of a workaround to a proprietary server, which will inevitably be broken on purpose when it gains any traction.

I don't think that's exactly true. The marketplace server is proprietary, but you can still install extension by hand https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/blob/master/DOCS.md#ext.... It's not ideal, but it's far from crippled.
If it's too complicated for a lambda, you shouldn't be using a lambda. Define a separate function if it takes you more than a line or it's harder to reason about.

Yea they look pretty similar. Not sure what the configuration language around step function is, but Airflow is nice because it's just python. There are a few gotchas you encounter, especially around templating, when you first get started but besides that it's pretty low overhead to start doing some pretty complex things since it's just writing python code.

OP is asking for a way to collect money from customers to cover expenses that can be paid via crypto.

By accepting stablecoins, OP:

- Does not need to pay payment processor fees.

- Does not need to wait days to have the funds available.

- Does not have the risk of facing chargebacks

- Does not need to take the money from the bank to pay crypto.
A CoC doesn't automatically deflect responsibility. As a moderator you still need to actually moderate, and you get the feedback for doing so. As a commitment, it actually puts an extra burden on the moderator, since there's now an explicit thing people can point to when criticizing your (in-)actions.

I happen to have gained a moderator role in a community that has a pre-existing CoC. I'm not sure why I would "hide behind" or "point at" the CoC when acting in that role, I'm perfectly fine with telling people off (or more if necessary) without doing so.

And yes, if you assume the worst of everybody commitments don't have any value. But people generally attempt to actually uphold things they commit to, and thus it is seen as a positive signal, even if it's not a guarantee. (Ideally we wouldn't need CoCs because the baseline established by them would be such a universal commitment in society that you could just assume it to be valid everywhere, but experience shows that's apparently not the case) Several community members told me that it has been relevant to their decision to interact/join.

EDIT: and even if you say just a commitment is worth anything (as said above, I personally also don't think "has a CoC" is that much of a signal without seeing how mods actually act, but clearly other people do), that's quite a difference from a blanket "CoCs are always toxic".
Or music which you know very well, works for me. Hard rock from the late seventies go in one ear and out the other when I am writing.
If your website/blog is primarily a website/blog I think Wordpress is a perfectly fine choice (maybe overkill for personal use, solid for teams of authors). For me the problem starts once one wants to start adding more web application like features to it. Obviously you can build everything on top of it, but you pretty much need specialized developers. WP development is just too foreign and unattractive for most fullstack developers I know. Also its database model can be a pain to deal with.

Don't know what the best solution is. I'm currently testing Strapi CMS on the backend with a NextJS frontend which should give me hybrid between pre-rendered/ssr as well as dynamic parts while having a consistent development experience across all of them that is very familiar to developers. Definitely not as quick to launch experience as slapping together landing pages in website builders and Wordpress with pre-made templates, but I'll see how it goes.
> you have to virtue signal about issues

Acknowledging your privilege is not categorically virtue signalling. One can think there's not value is acknowledging privilege (or that it might not exist), but let's not pretend it's impossible (or unlikely) that another does.
The wealthy are not “the public”. At best, they are a subset. And a small one at that. So, you are actually saying “the privileged gets shares, and the public gets the shaft”.

The difference is that workers are only suspended until they comply with the vaccination requirements: the affected workers are still employed, just on an unpaid leave. Laid off employees who later comply with the vaccination requirements would need to re-apply for their job and go through the normal application process.
Nowadays, I guess they are promoting it the area of ML, with libraries such as TF and PyTorch.
SAR is a statistical numbers game. Each search method provides some degree of certainty of coverage. Aircraft can't see through trees and thermographic cameras have a tough time seeing hypothermic or dead people. Ground search is still necessary even after a helicopter or fixed wing aircraft have gone over a search zone.

A swarm of drones would allow a rapid search of an area with similar coverage statistics as a manned ground search. But a drone going 40 km/h could miss subtle clues like footprints or freshly broken branches.

Generally you can then pick and choose who holds shares and ensure they are of like mind, or possibly even stipulate it as a condition.

SpaceX and a lot of space industry, kinda like IT, seems to capitalize on the like mindedness/idealization and enthusiasm of many that want to work in aerospace.

And I have heard the churn and burnout is real as a result.

I personally have avoided startups and other types of jobs that would require more....time investment and dedication. I know thats not how everone sees it, but for me, my job is a means to an end and that end is family and fun/recreation, not colonizing mars or being a part of the next great innovation, tech or otherwise. As a result its clear I'm not cut out for a place like Spacex or even Amazon (and thats assuming I am even quick enough to hold such a gig). I like my nights and weekends and work/like separation too much.

What I really want to see is a blog post on Git as an undo engine.

This is related to the idea of using Git as general storage, in that the undo history can be persisted, and then reconstituted by a new process. The trick would be to make all actions compatible with conversion to and from a commit.
Ummm ... you cannot reason from H/W (video spends 80% of its time recounting H/W manufacturing history which is in the domain of natural sciences with a formal model e.g. physics, chem, statistical physics) to software. The first 80% of the video is not relevant.

Yes, I know enough to know I can sweep a sine wave, but I also know enough to know it’s more complicated than that. There are various curves that affect the perception of sound volume at different frequencies, like the response of the headphones, the varying response curve of frequency perception at different volumes, the inherent differing volume response curve in your brain/ears that is the basis for stuff like LUFS. I was wondering if there is a correct way to do this that corrects for all these different effects, or something professional you can do or pay for to get this measured correctly.
Chasing a Dream Is Hard
Authentication methods are older than you might think. They used two factor authentication back in Rome during the late republic years.

Wealthier patrician households shared mail centers to retrieve messages sent from other provinces. When entering the mail center, you had to provide a series of code words that were changed every time new consuls were chosen. Then if the code words were accepted, the mail house would take a print of the right thumb and compare it against ink prints on file. If a patrician hadn't visited a mail house in a while, there was a third step to make extra sure of the patrician's authenticity. He would be shown a series of drawings, and would have to identify which ones contained buses.
