When my work projects were interrupted because of COVID, I was able to advance a side project, Factonaut, into a "minimum viable product" (or at least into one that I no longer have to be ashamed of when releasing it). I continuie to improve it, but only slowly as my work projects returned to previous levels.

Factonaut is a computer programme for Windows 10 that allows you to compile historical events in a knowledgebase and easily create chronological overviews. Product link: https://www.factonaut.com/

Why is the overhead exponential in the rate of consumption?
But they trace their line to the ancient greek Adreides which fought in the siege of Troy. So their origin would be Greek, whatever mixed in over the millenia.

This. Little babies born with health issues used to be forced onto government healthcare, and parents had to reengineer thier life to qualify. Absolute savagery.
I completely agree. The robot novels would be much easier stories to adapt with little deviation from the novels. It's been decades since I've read the whole canon of Asimov robot and Foundation novels, but I recall the Foundation novels being very dry and academic - I loved them, but they're just not high adventure action stories that translate well to the screen.
You do get worse latency though, right? Which I believe to be important for conversation quality, even when users don’t actively realize that latency is to blame.

There's a large number of e-gaming companies sponsoring OSS as a means of CSR and advertising. For smaller OSS, it is the majority of corporate donations as other types of companies don't bother. It's not likely that Mastodon encouraged those donations, but other companies aren't likely to reach out.

Doing further research, Mastodon's sold out on those tiers of sponsors[0], so they're likely in the lucky position that they could pick and choose.

I feel like for every business there exists threshold where PMs get convinced that selling ads isn't just a free-tier business model, but rather that any other revenue generation method sits within the Pareto frontier that an ads tier defines.

I once heard an ads account PM put it this way: "If you have enough money to buy a no-ads tier, someone will pay more to put an ad there"

CVE-2021-20706 NEC EXPRESSCLUSTER X RCE
While reading this article I have started a total of 29 ci/cd workflows, some of which are expected to run for 30 minutes probably consuming at least 200 watts (assuming some kind of xeon computer) each for the duration, I have consumed an estimated 1700Wh (19 * 10 minutes, 10 * 30 minutes), or enough to run this website for between 28 - 71 days. Not sure what to think about that.

They judge "intentions" after a physical crime has been committed using those intentions to come up with appropriate punishment.

They do not place judgement on intention alone. There's a clear difference.
> I can't imagine a court backing a demand to reveal <malicious actor>'s production systems based on what little external evidence one would have in these circumstances.

That’s not really how courts work. You don’t how to have all the evidence to support your claims when you file the lawsuit.

Rather, you can go to court saying “I have reason to believe Doe is doing thing X, it’s causing me harms Y, and we could prove it with Z”.

If the case is not dismissed at an early stage, then the discovery process is started. This gives subpoena power to both sides to discover relevant facts about the case, hold depositions under oath with relevant parties, and other means of gathering information that wouldn’t be available outside of the court process.

It’s very likely that the Truth Social source code would have to be turned over to the plaintiffs during the discovery process. Additionally, the plaintiffs lawyers would probably ask the Truth Social developers questions under oath about how the platform was developed.

The evidence gathered during discovery is what the judge would use to decide whether a license violation occurred, and to issue an order.

So, the public evidence available at the start of a civil court case doesn’t need to support the requests for relief.
In an artificial environment sure, you will have prostitution with no trafficking, but it is never that way in practice. Even in places with brothels you still see humans trafficked. It is irresponsible to assume they go away with legalization.

In Microsoft-land I find myself referencing a similar list of codes for Windows: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/debug/system-...

ESG Investing is one of the hottest trends in investment management that aims to eliminate investments in companies that don't adhere to Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance standards. Most investment management firms are scrambling to come up with product offerings to meet the substantial demand.

But isn't it exactly what they say? Like "hey, I wish they didn't use Mastodon, but there's a license and they can use our software if they want to and they comply with the license"? Or did I misunderstand this?

Their only issue in the article is that they don't comply with the license. I believe the "personal feelings" paragraph was added so that they explain to some people that they don't want to/cannot prevent them from using Mastodon. I'm sure they had received emails like "how can you allow Trump to use your open source software", "stop him, he is evil, and if you allow him to use Mastodon, you are evil too".
I disagree with "don't use nix-env --install; use <much harder thing> instead".

I see "nix-env --install" as a gateway drug to using Nix. It's effortless, and already easy to see benefits from using Nix (like you can easily get the same set of packages on different OSs).

Rather, it's worth explaining why it's bad to use. The footgun I ran into was that I'd caused a messy state by installing something and forgetting I'd installed it.

Maybe nix flakes and home-manager and nix-darwin are really cool.. but they're also much harder to use, and surely overwhelming for someone who just wants a way to install packages. I think it's like telling someone to learn Kubernetes when they're wondering how to serve the website they wrote. -- I think it's easier to appreciate these once you've gotten your feet wet with nix.

I know there are people pooh-pooh'ing the idea of pursuing a PhD while still working, but I think that's because they're just working from inflexible mental models. It can definitely be done, but you may have to think a bit outside traditional routes (which is seems like you're already doing). I started my program at an older age than you, so it can be done.

One option is to look for a full-time job that does research but is also affiliated with a university. Think national laboratories or government positions. If you're smart about it, you may be able to make your full-time work count towards your thesis. Many of these affiliations also offer free/reduced tuition and you'll almost certainly be paid more than if you were a PhD student working for a university. Some will even pay your normal salary and allow you to take a year or more off to focus on school. The real difficulty is working a schedule that let's you take courses, but I suspect this is easier now with the amount of remote learning available. I'd also say to stay away from advisors who think there's only one way to skin this cat :-). It was my experience that they don't work as well with non-traditional students.

To echo what was said elsewhere, advisors/programs that mandate a certain time commitment may be looking to burden you with ancillary duties that don't fit well with a non-traditional approach. Some programs would not admit me unless I was willing teach a certain number of classes, even though I was self funded through my employer. Some tried to force me into a resident status for the same reasons; there was an expectation of working on campus as a means of paying for my keep. I attribute most of these attitude's as a lazy way of thinking where they apply the same template to every student, but I think you can find an alternate path if you're willing to be a bit creative/resilient/persistent.

Best of luck to you.

Unless you have a crazy amount of money to burn I'd suggest that you buy both with a mortgage (assuming you have the income to do so) and then rent the one you're not living in. It's pretty common for Scandinavians to have a place in Spain or Portugal or as far as I'm aware for Americans to have a regular winter holiday in Central America. This is on the assumption that you think that both properties might appreciate over time, so even if you don't pay down the mortgage much your will still make money.
Hey thanks, I tried EMDR a couple of years ago and it didn't work for me. I'm in a different place now though, could be worth trying it again
Anecdotal, but in my industry (sports front office), we’ve seen a heavy shift from Rails to Python over the last few years. I don’t think it’s much to do with perceived shortcomings with Ruby/Rails, but rather alignment with what the analytics side of operations uses. Front office R&D groups (typically comprised of systems and analytics) are relatively small, and there’s a fair amount of collaboration between devs and analysts. The Ruby ecosystem doesn’t offer the data science tooling that Python does, so it has been easier for devs to align with analysts (by using Django, Flask, etc) than the other way around.
It changed a while back. Definitely surprised me in a bad way in the last year or two and I went through something similar to the OP. That said, I stuck the env variable in my shell setup and I would point out brew does include tooling to upgrade databases from one major version of Postgres to the next so you can get back and running (unless you have cause to stick with a certain version to match server setup, which is a bit of a pain).

I merely changed a car to a chainsaw, it's an analogous situation. There is no strawman, a strawman is a fallacy where the new argument is easier to attack. This is the same argument.

Your example on the other hand is not relevant to the situation at hand, it misconstructs the problem. The machine required trained operators to operate the machine, driving a car requires a trained operator but that is where the similarities stop. You don't need any additional training to operate autopilot. If someone without a license sits behind the steering wheel they're at fault cause they're not supposed to drive the car in the first place, this would be an analogous situation. Yours, as pointed out, is not.
So is “peaceful country”. The ongoing existence of every country is predicated on its ability to wage war (or make friends with countries that wage war). Nearly all of the borders on the globe were defined by war. But that doesn’t mean countries or empires can’t have differing views towards peace and aggression.

In regards to China, I said it was less peaceful, which seems obviously true to me. China has ongoing territorial disputes with ever country close to it, which extends to raising man-made islands out of the sea to push back the sea borders of its neighbors. It believes it outright owns two neighboring countries, occupying one of them, and constantly threatening to conquer the other. A large amount of its northern region used to be Mongolia until the government one day sent millions of Chinese people to live there, and just redrew its maps. As a country it was also founded upon a revolution that included arguably the most brutal mass slaying of civilians in history.

The US fights more wars, but China is far more belligerent imo, and engages in outright territorial conquest every opportunity it gets.
I'm surprised people still use postgresql from homebrew. Like honestly, I use brew for any CLI command only like zsh and git. Well maybe some programming language as well but I would never, ever install database with it unless I'm desperate. Anything that can be dockerized, just use docker.

The difference is momentum and trust. Crypto is underlined by trust. Permissionless trust and cross-border trust. Either people don’t trust the Quito stock exchange to return all of the money back to shareholders or they don’t see their money going up in value there. So people don’t give them their money.

Your point about the «terrible idea», including the statement «Otherwise the situation will get worse», requires more defence. There is an issue with undesirable use of technology, so many are fearing future regret (Alfred Nobel in front of the title 'Le marchand de la mort est mort') - this has to be assessed, and is not solved by an appeal to trust (which is exactly what is lacking). The fear is about the opposite to «improv[ing] the world».
This is of course ridiculous.

That took rights and freedom away from certain people. We've all agreed that taking the right to hold slaves away is better for society just like taking the right to murder away is better for society. However, that doesn't mean you didn't take a freedom away from a group of people.

On the other hand, in my team we have playbooks and they're great. One thing that helps is to consider them as living documents (we have a tool with history and comments that helps, Quip), use them every time you do the task instead of relying on memory, and put a comment every time you encounter a problem so that the playbook can be improved.

To give a bit of context, this is for tasks usually done once a week to once a month individually, multiple times a week for the whole team.
Ask HN: What to Learn?
I'm early in my software career(24y/o) still and have a good amount of free time. I'm unsure where to start with bettering my career. I know the basics of programming(data structures) transfer to almost any job. So I'll likely continue with that in Leetcode. But what else should I be doing? Focus on getting better at technologies I already know? Learning/exploring new skills? Focus on current job skills and hope they transfer to the next job? I know there isn't a definitive answer but wondering what some of you found success in early in your career. Thanks
If you are an English speaker outside the US, you probably know about a game called cricket. Baseball was very obviously derived from cricket about 200 years ago and has evolved quite a bit since then. But if you know cricket, baseball is not confusing.

Also, a baseball game takes a lot less time than a cricket match.
1. yes.

2. I think no, but I believe this is a contentious point, and it depends on whether the "mastodon instance + CDN/proxy/whatever" constitutes a "derived work" or not.

Dune in its full glory is simply unfilmable. Between the exposition that can be naturally woven into a novel that simply can not be naturally woven into a movie and the amount of the book that takes place as character's thoughts, to even the little things like the chapter headings being used for flavor text from a future encyclopedia, there's just no way to capture the whole thing on film.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but I liked the sci-fi miniseries well enough. (As I've said before on HN, watch it as a very well-produced theater production and not a somewhat poorly-funded movie and it's really quite good.) So I'm not saying it's impossible to film something Dune and for it to at least be good. But it'll never be able to stand in for the novels.

I would be amused to see some series get far enough to try to film Chapterhouse Dune, though, which in my opinion is even more complicated than the original Dune in the ways that would matter for a film. Books 2 and 3 would be generally simpler, you can tell they didn't get as much love. God Emperor of Dune I believe holds up better than 2 & 3, but it is still narratively simpler than the original Dune. The final truncated trilogy is quite complex, though.
The thing about sea level is that for any particular glacier in Antarctica and Greenland, it can melt really slow at start, but once the bottleneck part melts, it can be very rapid.

By definition, a wildcat bank failed, or came close to it:

https://www.britannica.com/topic/wildcat-bank

>>wildcat bank, unsound bank chartered under state law during the period of uncontrolled state banking (1816–63) in the United States. Such banks distributed nearly worthless currency backed by questionable security (e.g., mortgages, bonds) and were located in inaccessible areas to discourage note redemption.

As for your criticism: no, the author meticulously details the ways in which regulatory restrictions led to most of the bank failures associated with wildcat banks, and contrasts it with the experience of 19th century British North America, i.e. Canada, and Scotland, which lacked those same restrictions.
