I don't think anybody believes that we still have a free market.
IMO, based on the current unfree market, politicians should not be allowed to trade stocks and it should be illegal for any large corporation to fire employees for any reason (except maybe by majority vote).
> you can't guarantee anything

You can always guarantee atomicity. You will just have to implement it yourself (what is not easy, but always possible, unless there are conflicting requisites of performance and network distribution).

And yes, the cleanup jobs are part of how you implement it. But you shouldn't be "trying to rectify the problems", you should be rectifying the problems, with certainty.

I use a couple of little scripts to do something somewhere in the middle that I'm happy with:

`fzf-dmenu` spawns an alacritty window running fzf over given input.

`pass-dmenu` calls the former with available password names; takes the result (if any) and decrypts & types it with `pass show $result | xdotool type --file -`.
> But when asked whether lawmakers and their spouses should be prohibited from trading stock while in Congress, Pelosi said, “No,” adding that “this is a free market.”

I get iffier on this when you regulate family members. Children? Siblings? Parents? You'd be forcing a good number of Congressional spouses to retire if you implemented this without a gradual implementation.

I'd like to see lawmakers subject to similar restrictions as other insiders; having to openly plan their stock sales/purchases at least several months out. If you want a more actively managed portfolio than that, hire a financial firm to run a blind trust for you.
It's nowhere near as equivalent, where's the behavior testing? Where is stuff like allow_any_instance_of(...).to receive(...).and_return(...)? What about shared examples? How can you patch globally the current time? Where are partial matchers like an_object_having_attributes? What about automatic db rollbacks?

Reddit is on the way down. They may be gaining users, but the platform is a lot less interesting. The quality of content is way down, the spam and clickbait way up, and censorship by dictatorial moderators is out of control. Its a big echo chamber now.

You are seeing a huge demand for more free speech platforms. Youtube is outofcontrol, Google is editing search, twitter is peering over the abyss now that Jack is gone and Reddit is right along them. It may take a while, but in a few years they are going to face steep competition. It may very well be an open source decentralized project like Mastodon.

But it only works if it has significant compliance. If a new entrant offers the service, there's little reason for other places to implement it, because only a tiny percentage of their customers will be using it. And the big boys have a disincentive because they already offer things like email and web hosting. Making it easy for people to buy those services elsewhere will cut in to their revenue.
They are not looking for expansion outwards. The only real expansion that has happened so far was Crimea, which was part of Russia before, has significant Russian population which at least once voted for independence, but more importantly it is vital for Russian defence on the south.

The crime is insider trading. They have information the rest of the market does not. This is already against the law. If we really care about the law we need to enforce it even when the rich and powerful break it.

This issue a symptom of the underlying problem --- the activist US government influences outcomes in every market -- indeed the feds pick the winners and losers in many markets through spending, tax benefits, and regulations. The true reform is to limit the size and scope of the government and return it to being a neutral referee of the private sector.
Depends on what it is you're encapsulating.

For example, we encapsulate our email sending service (Sendgrid). Sendgrid has a pretty good client library, so other than providing a slightly more idiomatic F# API, our wrapper layer doesn't do much.

However, (1) sending email is a very straightforward service, so if Sendgrid ever becomes expensive, unreliable, or otherwise limited, replacing it with a different service is quite realistic. (As opposed to e.g. a database or caching layer where you would probably have to also review all the _logic_ if you switch to a different engine). And (2), we don't want to send real emails during tests (especially e.g. fuzzy or property which run en masse), so you actually want a honest-to-god mock here.
Most other users nowadays are likely to be your webserver, your application process, your database, your crawler, and a myriad of other long-running processes.

Hello Sideburns!

I can't access your link it's pay-walled nor can I find a decent version on archive, but I'll take your word for it.

1. I should have clarified. By "old, unwell, infirm" I mean people over 50

Because of covids age skew in mortality and hospitalization, I'm not really worried about people under 50, nor is GP. The premise the GP is arguing is that "vaccinating young people is primarily good because it helps protect old people".

2. I'm not saying covid doesn't jump from young to old, I'm asking 2 questions:

a. is "unvaccinated young-to-old transmission" a major vector for infection among >50s.

b. by extension, does vaccinating young people correlate to a decrease in infections among >50s.

I suspect it doesn't for the reasons I described in my prior comment, but of course I would like to see data that supports it one way or the other.

If no one has done such an analysis yet, it begs the question why we're perpetuating such talking points and making policies without having the data first.
MATLAB individual license for base product is actually lower, but toolboxes can cost a fortune. Student/Home version does not have several features inbuilt which have to be bought separately. Also the symbolic math support is dodgy. If I had to do Numpy type of operations only, I will take Numpy over MATLAB because its open source and free.
Similar, but to me Kobayashi's is way more polished and relies less on common tropes.
Warm water ports in the Black sea are severely restricted ( in military use) by the Montreux convention regulating the use of the Bosporus and Dardanelles straits.
Most of which are pushing 50 years old. Russia has a lot of military assets, and has developed some advanced capabilities, but has not been able to field them in any meaningful quantity since the fall of the Soviet Union. The same story is true with their air superiority / denial capabilities. They have advanced weapons, but not enough of them to go toe-to-toe with NATO and the bulk of their military is obsolete Soviet-era hardware.
>> IMO modern MATLAB with the right toolboxes is much more capable than Mathematica.

...depending what you want to do. Anything symbolic is probably not a great fit for Matlab.
The original original digitalocean was a mechanical turk of Perl and bash scrips with cronjobs and a giant mysql db. It would randomly shout things like "RUN THE ARIN REPORTS" (Not a slight btw, it was janky sure, but it worked..) :)
People are jumping on your phrase "legally binding" for some reason, but I think they are missing the point.

The Budapest Memorandum has no enforcement mechanism.

It has no obligation on the part of the other signatories to defend Ukraine, other than the requirement to bring it up at the UN security council should Ukraine be threatened by nukes.
They do have to report their positions. Not sure if that's a "restriction" per se, but that is something that insiders have to do as well, and it's something retail traders do not have to do.

If they are using insider information so effectively, anyone is free to copy their moves, no?

EDIT: That they only report 45 days after the fact is indeed a significant difference from company insiders and severely limits how well someone could profit by following along.
> 2. The charge itself could be applied to any form of media

Correct. Zuck, Dorsey, and PageBrin just stole the old guard's lunch money. Just like broadcast toppled print, papyrus displaced clay cuniform.

It's an old story. The power elite always seize control of popular communications. Technological progress begets a changing of the guard.

There is always a resentful cohort moaning about "kids these days".

There is always some cranks (like me) performatively rejecting the whole system. Yesterday's Kill Your Television is today's Delete Facebook.

While the masses keep plodding along, amusing themselves as able, self medicating, seeking some kind of respite from the never ending sting of the human condition. Moo.

For spouses I don't see a problem. In the US spouses cannot be forced to testify against one another in court. So (also) barring a spouse from benefitting from insider trading seems a fair trade-off.
The last time some one told me something like "changing three lines of code shouldn't take all day"[0], I responded with "Fuck you" because the way they managed to work 'faster' was to make and test their changes in production before committing them to version control.

I also once spent a week pursuing a small-but-necessary authentication flow change across two dependencies (one of them owned by a different team) and three tests, only to be fired for talking to the other team members directly (I was a mere contractor) rather than playing 'telephone' and relaying everything through my management and their management, which would have made it take a month instead.

Yes, we're an free-market economy, or at least an imperfect approximation of that.

No, that doesn't mean insider trading is ok. And since lawmakers are privy to information that can materially move stocks, and is not always generally known to the public, they should definitely qualify as insiders.
Hi HN, author here. Probably, this is not going to be the best english text you will read today because I'm not a native english speaker but I hope it will be interesting.

I wrote about my experience in software development since I started this career three years ago when I got my first job in the field. However I'm not writing about blazing new technologies, rather, I focus on relationships and how programming in the real world is being different from my expectations, how each company is different, and how soft skills are important, really important, even for software developers.
Shouldn't be that hard to solve, IMO. Congress members should be required to rebalance their portfolio into index funds for the duration of their term. Family members should be subject to insider trading regulation, and the congress member considered an insider.
The biggest thing holding me back from moving to Djagno or Rails is the DB interaction. As someone who is comfortable and prefers raw SQL, do I just have to man up and embrace the ORM for everything but situations where I _need_ to make raw queries?

I've also grown like sqlx (both the Rust and Go versions, despite them not being related as far as I know). The methods for mapping directly to structs work really well and captures one of the biggest issues I've had (literally the object-relational mismatch).

I feel like I'm in a state of decision fatigue with web frameworks. I've used many shallowly, but I just never know if I'm making the right decision. It's probably safe to assume the best bet is the one I choose and stick to though...
And at least 20 different tools built over the years, none of which are a complete solution afaik. Cf. https://chadsmith.dev/python-packaging/.
You'd have to be fairly delusional not to expect these sorts of connections to arise. Arnold Schwarzenegger married into the Kennedy family; their dating pool is largely other highly-connected political folks.

Same reason celebrities largely date other celebrities.
It seems so obvious.

I work for a publicly traded company. I am only allowed to purchase stock in the company during certain windows, and IIRC, only in certain amounts. I can't trade or play with options related to the stock at any other time.

When I worked for a bank (in IT, but still) there was plenty of training on not making trades on non-public knowledge.

On one hand, I understand how a blanket ban on stock trading would seem harsh, but it seems there is no alternative given the feckless enforcement of existing insider trading regs in Congress.

They should all be offered a series of mutual fund options with different growth/risk targets, kind of like 401k packages, and that be that.

Pelosi saying "it's a free market" is a non sequitur. It's angering and embarrassing that she is so incompetent or brazenly dismissive of real concerns.

I really hope that we get just enough "clean" politicians in the near future to drive popular will towards more transparency and regulation on the topic.

I too have a need to keep old computers online and it's frustrating when the CMOS battery dies and all those super important motherboard settings that make it boot from a hard drive in the first place are lost, over and over on every reboot.

Not everyone knows that old computers do not necessarily boot from the hard drive by default.

Call me jaded, but boo-hoo, so be it. The power and privileges that come with being so close to someone in power surely make up for the loss of being able to trade stocks.
DDNet Year 2021 in Review (Open Source Game)
Show HN: Jobs in Cloud
- 90% of the best engineers are never actively on the market

- The best time to reach this 90% is when they are open to opportunities, but not actively looking

- Most engineers are not primarily focused on building their network to set themselves up for great opportunities

So every couple of weeks I round up cloud-related jobs from around my network. (Why cloud, specifically? It's what I know, and I find it's more helpful to specialize than generalize.)

I have a few biases for how I put this list together:

• Full-time remote

• AWS, Azure, and/or GCP

• Salary range (where I can get it)

• A mix of junior, mid-level, senior, and leadership roles

• And, most importantly, an inside referral contact for every single job.

We are /NOT/ a free-market economy.

There is no /freedom/ in our markets. There are plenty of items that are unavailable. There are plenty of restrictions on trade. There are massive tariffs on trade. There are limits on the amount of monies spent or earned.

The concept of a free-market scares the politicians in America, and those politicians do everything in their power to prevent exactly that; a free-market.
Nice! Somewhat disappointed that the solution wasn't dialing with the correct area code instead of local (or somehow acquiring the local line matching that number and setting up call forwarding), but recognizing drive geometry settings is even more awesome!
That's just a way to twist the issue into a political dig against laissez-faire people. It's not a real defense because she's too powerful to need a defense.
For most public-facing deployed services, I tend to run docker in `--iptables=false` mode with `--net=host` containers. Then you can just use normal iptables INPUT rules with your choice of firewall tooling. Works great with IPv6 as well, and fewer moving parts.

For special cases like CI servers where you need to be able to run multiple instances of the same set of containers simultaneously and have them talk to eachother on the same port... better have an external firewall to isolate the machine. Trying to manage the iptables ruleset is a mess (you can't use nftables or iptables-restore), and it's not reliable.
Doe not look like syncthing has the concept of "vault" (using sync.com parlance) where files are stored in the cloud only.

What the OP is describing is more like apple's iCloud, where files might be offloaded from a device and stored only in the cloud, and downloaded on demand.
The same could be said of most of the work that translators do. Why translate the text of the temporary exhibition of this museum, why translate an advertisement, why translate the instructions for a children's toy that will only be popular for a few months?

If we only worked on things that have the potential to make us famous, we wouldn't do much work. That is true for most industries - even writers.
Having insiders with information not available to the market is not a free market.

Yeah, that’s great, but they won’t let me use it as co-writer for my fiction.

It turns out that this is by far what these models are best at. I am, without exaggeration, ten times faster at writing with AI assistance than without. I’m also learning faster; getting instant tips on how something might be phrased is invaluable, even if I go on to rewrite it.

NovelAI allows this, and provides an easy mechanism for fine-tuning as well as a number of excellent fine-tuned models I can choose between.

OpenAI thinks I can’t be trusted with the technology, because I might… what? Cause them bad PR? Well, I’m sorry my SF has a little violence in it sometimes! Good luck finding a book that doesn’t.

So I’m not going to use them, and I’ll take every opportunity to recommend against anyone else doing so. You’re going to regret it.
I think starting with a decently written monolith is a great idea, the two things that I always saw that _make things bad_ (fsu) are auth, encapsulation (with no domain boundaries, typically 1 class with lots of responsibilities that are only useful in specific contexts but depend on common data and are hard to refactor, classic 3k lines of python code for the User class) and ORMs.
Often these things (auth and orm) are pushed by frameworks and don't scale well because of the magic they use to make things work.

I think today if i had to start from scratch would use lambdas as much as possible for all common external facing logic (auth etc) and GET routes (for scalability) and have a monolith (with very simple orm features) that implements business logic on top of a managed db (like a dynamodb or aurora).
somewhere in the comment I have seen elixir being mentioned and I really like the approach elixir (and phoenix) have over organizing the domains in a monolith, together with a little reactive approach and of course optimize for deletion https://www.netlify.com/blog/2020/10/28/optimize-for-deletio...

Speaking of BNL/CERN, there is the code SixTrack which is/was used for both RHIC and LHC for collimation studies and long-term tracking. That's the worst I've ever seen. There were a few files of "normal" length but the main sixtrack source file was fifty-five thousand lines long and featured a custom-written preprocessor's directives throughout (since Fortran has no preprocessor, or for some other erason) that allowed different features to be enabled at compile time. And this was used to design the LHC collimation system and to check the machine's dynamic aperture. I should also add that this is recent/still the case.

P.S. agreed about Twitter, I always wonder what these people are like in real life.
gesture support, available via webrtc? sounds like the tip top choice for mobile terminaling.
I definitely don't like the idea of insider trading by lawmakers, for all of the reasons that are obvious to everybody. On the other hand, if they put their money in a blind trust, the conflict is still there. My reasoning is that the blind trust will still want to put their money in the "best" investment, and the lawmakers can influence which investment is "best" through policy and legislation.

The easiest example that I see is the continued long term growth of the stock and the real estate markets. (Disclosure, I'm invested in those markets too). It's pretty easy to imagine passing stock- and real estate-friendly legislation, which is great for me, but not necessarily great for society as a whole, and not necessarily done by any kind of majority consent.

But at least in the case of a blind trust, while you can't eliminate conflict of interest altogether, at least it makes the conflict more transparent.
