I can't reply to the rest of your replies due to karma bombing, but I wanted to point out : Many beautiful things are fleeting, and many of those beauties exist exactly due to their ephemeral transient nature.

I've never thought of HN as one of those 'beautiful and fragile' things, especially after over a decade -- maybe I will once it's gone -- I simply want to point out that some of the world's most beautiful things are in-fact 'precarious and transient' , and that makes them no less spectacular.

Happy holidays, everyone.
I was not "appealing to authority". The fact that I'm an expert in the field is, imo, valuable meta-information.

I weigh people's opinions differently if they're rooted in expertise than if they're random anonymous people on the internet. Do what you want with that information, and please forgive my hasty edits: sometimes when I read back what I wrote, I notice that I'm missing something. There's no bad faith there.
You can use a command line CLI like Jekyll, Hugo or Next, or a an app like Kit55 (http://stack55.com).
I use Obsidian for that exact reason of the notebook being "just" a collection of raw markdown files and owning my own data as well.

I'm pretty happy with it so far.

I still use Sublime to edit the files quickly and when I don't need features provided by Obsidian plugins.

A minor gripe is that the iCloud sync is really really bad. Perhaps that's more on Apple than Obsidian, but frequently editing of the same files across multiple devices is a pain point today. To their credit, they have acknowledged this and now offer their own first-party sync service, but I think $96/year to sync a folder of Markdown files from my laptop to my phone is excessive.
It depends on the lens through which you want to view the addressable market for adoption. For sure, Wordpress has deservedly captured a huge part of the current market for CMS-powered websites. It's very powerful, it's performant, it's got an ecosystem of plugins and templates to expand its capabilities, and a huge network of developers and designers who are familiar with it.

But if you want to view the market as "getting everyone on the open web who needs a presence", it's hard to see how Wordpress the product is meeting that need. ~1/3 of US businesses have no owned/managed Internet presence at all (and the number is even lower outside of the US). Of the ones who do, something like 15% of them (iirc) are only on Facebook and/or Instagram, and that number is growing.

Let's take that small business owner who doesn't yet have an online presence and give them a default Wordpress install, and then let's give them a Facebook business page creator - which one do you think they'll be more successful at completing? Or if I need a simple blog/newsletter - let's try Wordpress vs. Substack or Wordpress vs. Medium - which is going to be easier?

If you say that's not the target market for Wordpress, that's fine, but every interview with Matt Mullenwig gives me the impression HE thinks that's the target market for Wordpress/Automattic - everyone who needs an online presence. By limiting Wordpress to only technical users and/or websites that are built by pros, it's basically ceding swaths of the user population to these purely commercial platforms that are open to varying degrees.
Digital services/products:

- Last.fm

- Spotify

- Cloud storage

- Figma for teams

- Managed hosting

- Fiber-optic broadband

Physical things:

- Audio gear

- A good bike

- Food and drink

- Anything for my dog

- Computer + phone

- Home gym, paid for itself after two years

- Experiences

- BIFL quality items, like clothing from brands that will happily repair stuff if it breaks or send you replacement items if you can fix it yourself.

- Skilled laborers/consultants of any kind. Plumbers, electricians, financial advisors, lawyers or specialized health personnel like manual therapists.

I will happily spend hours just to do that initial research, to find a brand that is less likely to disappoint or fall short of my expectations.

If I can maintain and service it myself I will gladly pay a premium price. Examples could be a leather belt or shoes, hardwood flooring or anything that can be repaired and serviced like tools and knives.
Can you elaborate on the benefits you see from this setup? I ran a Unifi setup for about a year before tearing it out and replacing it with an older Linksys 1900ACS. The Unifi took an enormous amount of trouble to setup to provide worse coverage than the Linksys for 3x the price. Not only that but it was a huge eyesore, with 3 different units with 3 wall warts all intertangled with cat6 cable. All of that on top of the recent scandals and I couldn't be happier throwing it into storage.
He doesn't think from first principles and is arrogant enough to say never, i want my 5 minutes back. Water in the form of ice is the most important resource on asteroids just use some mirrors and drone swarms. You can also try to encapsulate an asteroid and build on top of it with self replicating systems. Now you can dismiss this as scifi but at the rate of advancements in ML and control. 200-300 years of exponential or linear growth doesn't seem unreasonable. Also, there is no reason you have to use chemical rockets, thats obviously a dead end. Building up on the moon and mars will allow for easy liftoff due to the low gravity allowing for more advanced propulsion systems.
Will this be visually tracked? Like can we watch it to it's journey?

Complete speculation; but I wonder if how Amazon works their employee's so hard is the root cause of this. Layer on COVID as an additional stressor and give it a few years and this could be the result. Curious to hear from those at Amazon, what's it been like during COVID?

The problem is that people suffer the transition's consequences.

The current state of affairs has driven a rather large part of the country's population, who share Western ideals and want to pursue them for their nation, prefer a coup over whatever this ongoing messy loss of wealth and human capital is (certainly not 'democracy,' though). That should be telling, but it's hard to have Westerners empathise, I guess?

Don’t even get me started on outlook.co/o365.

If you put an address or domain in the safesenders list; they do literally nothing. Like you can just totally spoof the domain entirely.

However if you use transport rules as per their rec, there’s all sorts of stuff that will still get flagged, and you have to to reference ATP, anti-phishing, anti-spam policies. Much of which aren’t even in the Exchange admin panel, rather they are in “security” and buried in hamburger menus galore.

And what’s best. They don’t even have any documentation for how these modules interact or what order mail is processed in. I had a case open for months thst finally got escalated to someone that was able to explain the issues we had with specific list serves/domains getting flagged.

In the end my only option was to whitelist emails classes as phishing and route them to junk rather than keeping them in quarantine. Even though it was a 99% accuracy rate sans this single domain.

The guy was really only able to commiserate with me. We are but a number and not a big enough one to get Ms to change a thing. Their best recommendation was to deploy an edge device like proofpoint/proofpoint hosted and just handle it from there.

I get what they want to do. They are trying to make the crazy email RFCs easy for devops guys thst don’t give a damn about how e-mail works. But it’s still hard to keep up with as they constantly just move stuff around and change their own standards on a near monthly basis.
I'm not sure if I grok your meaning of "problem set", but to learn the basics, give them appropriately leveled drills, like the sort you'd find on Leetcode or Project Euler-type sites.

One they've got that down, I suggest avoiding the class of problems such as making employee payrolls or car manufacturer inventory lists. These are the type of "fake" problem sets my chosen C tutorials had me do after getting down the fundamentals. I'd say it left me in a bad place regarding what to expect from real code. Instead, I recommend you find a real problem for them to tackle. Ideas could be:

- programming a Raspberry Pi to light up only between certain hours of the day to use as a nightlight, and then actually use it

- write a program that takes daily scale measurements as input and tracks weight gain/loss over a sliding scale, and then actually use it

- gather a list of weekly chores and family members and generate "task lists" for each week so the chores are most equally distributed, and then actually use it

You'll notice the pattern is, after coding each example, the result is used in real life to solve a problem. This will teach them the real purpose of code is to solve some problem, not just to write C for the sake of it.
No.

Competition is the only way we get better goods and services.

That person is offering support and will have a reason to keep improving their product, giving customers a reason to buy it or keep using it. People who try your product will appreciate what this kind of product can do, and many of those people never will have tried the original.

If those users have discovered the value, that gives the original developer and opportunity to turn them on to something better since the for-profit model creates a feedback loop that does exactly that. If the developer doesn’t want to reinvest in their product that is their decision to go out of business.
He lost all three of the biggest cities of Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir. Yet his coalition actually increased their total votes in the municipal elections by getting more votes in other cities.
>"It doesn't work for me, so it won't work for you" is rather weak

Maybe I missed it but I scrolled through the comments and I don't see anyone in this thread claiming the above. In fact, I see the people who had problems with personal mail server deliverability acknowledge that others may have success and "that's good for them."

Sure, but also it may be worth noting that the content license on Stack Overflow posts requires this. And it's the poster's content, not Stack Overflow's, so there's an element of respecting a fellow coder who helped you. In fact, most open source licenses require attribution at a minimum.

I don’t think that’s true. One of the biggest use cases for Kotlin is Android development. Interop between Kotlin, Java libraries, and the Android SDK is completely seamless.
Also, quite literally, people (both management and other engineers) often don't fully think through the consequences of systems that have neither enough automatic failover nor enough staffing by non-distracted humans, and build systems assuming that it will be fine. It's probably better to suffer an unexpected outage now than in the future when your company is bigger.

Interesting though.

Does that really matter without air resistance?

Depending on how high you actually bring it. Like 500km away from earth is still an orbit (I think that's Hubble's orbit) but how much force do you need or will happen?
Can you think of a country with more equal health expenditure than Saudi Arabia that has much better health outcomes than countries with GDP per capita around $30k?

This sounds much more like a hypothetical supermax prison for supervillains than a desirable place to live.

Living in a hollowed out asteroid sounds like a special kind of hell.

Oh, wait, what's that? They don't know how to? Interesting, they seem to be getting paid a shit ton more than the engineers keeping everything running.

This is such a great tip. Do you have any others? I personally use Strava to find places to walk when I go to new cities. And when I'm looking for a neighborhood to stay in a new cities, I plot out all moderately expensive restaurants to use as a heuristic for safe but not touristy neighborhoods.
It expresses an opinion, but I don’t think that has to be judgmental. The OP has to explain their position in order to ask for additional information.

I've found Unifi to be a pain to set up just right. But once you've got things just right, it's generally pretty fast and reliable.
I’m not sure what you are trying to say, the article does try to separate the types of thefts and dive into the details but my impression was that their discovery was the numbers were not nearly as bad CNN et al have been reporting or implying (and were actually still down from pre-2020 numbers, which had been falling for ages)
Definitely a concern unless you're in CA. I do wonder if the newspaper industry as a whole would not be better served by allowing CA-style easy cancellation nationwide. Sure, you get more cancels, but you also get more people signing up initially, and a bunch of those probably don't bother cancelling.
He is one of the best Rust programmers out there. Definitely one of those 10X programmers.
The TLDR on this is that the iOS “feature” of showing people who message you that you have notifications silenced is on by default and turning it off is not exactly intuitive (there are multiple places where it can be done).

Amazingly, after I posted this link to HN earlier, I discovered that my iPhone has been doing exactly the same thing and sharing my Do Not Disturb status without my knowledge.

I hadn’t really considered “Do Not Disturb” as being a “focus mode” as such, as it predated the focus feature and my shortcuts turn it on and off automatically so I hadn’t thought about it leaking my status.

I previously had been having different issues with this share status thing with the “Sleep” focus which I thought I’d solved. But I’m infuriated to find that despite me changing the relevant settings to off (or so I thought) my phone has still been leaking my focus status to anyone who messages me in certain situations.

This default to “on” for this behaviour is totally unacceptable.

Not to mention the default to sharing the status with my Mac which I never asked for. Which in turn presumably means even more leaking of status information if I chose to use focus modes in my Mac (which I haven’t done yet). I feel like anyone who needs that feature will find it. It doesn’t need to be on by default.
The CSA is contributing staff to operations as well, afaik.

A more recent source says this (found through wikipedia). Values all appear to be up to launch, and do not include operations.

NASA: 8,800m
ESA : 850m
CSA : 200m
------------
All : 9,850m

(No epoch given to dollars; presumably they are 2021 USD)

"Günther Hasinger, ESA director of science, estimated that Europe’s contributions to JWST, in the form of instruments and the Ariane 5 launch, to be about 700 million euros ($850 million), roughly the same as an ESA “M-class” science mission.

Gilles Leclerc, director general for space exploration at the Canadian Space Agency, said Canada’s contribution of an instrument and fine guidance sensors cost the agency about $200 million Canadian ($165 million) over 20 years. “This is an investment in discoveries of the universe,” he said.

NASA now estimates it will spend $8.8 billion on JWST through the spacecraft’s launch."[1][2]

Those numbers line up with a summary the Planetary Society put out.[3] That source includes info on the operations cost, at least for the US:

"The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is expected to cost NASA $9.7 billion over 24 years. Of that amount, $8.8 billion was spent on spacecraft development between 2003 and 2021; $861 million is planned to support five years of operations. Adjusted for inflation to 2020 dollars, the lifetime cost to NASA will be approximately $10.8 billion.

That is only NASA’s portion. The European Space Agency provided the Ariane 5 launch vehicle and two of the four science instruments for an estimated cost of €700 million. The Canadian Space Agency contributed sensors and scientific instrumentation, which cost approximately CA$200 million."

All three agencies will supply staff to support operations, which I guess makes sense since they've all contributed different instruments.[4]

Attrition has been super high during Covid and they raised the pay a lot for new offers to try and attract talent. (source: I got an offer for S3 mid-Nov. this is what the hiring manager told me).
> Labor is the only kind of value and any "worth" (eg money) has to be translatable to that. Crypto and gold is not.

crypto and gold can be exchanged for labor products in much the same way that other wealth can be (a house, stocks, bonds) — by first being exchanged for money. what do you mean when you say these things aren’t “translatable” into labor?
There's a big difference between "this type of work is beneath me" and...

- This type of work is not what I interviewed and hired for

- This type of work will aggravate my bad back/knees/rotator cuff/etc

- This type of work triggers my very strong anxiety

- This type of work requires skills I do not have

- This type of work requires equipment that the company is not providing me (doesn't matter if I own it; if the company wants it done, they damn well better provide the means)

Different people have different needs. If I were hired to be a programmer for DoorDash, and they told me one day that the next I would, instead, be driving my car in unfamiliar neighborhoods, being expected to deliver X amount of product per Y amount of time? I'd be putting in my notice.

Just like if I were someone who has no programming background working as a driver for DoorDash, and they told me one day that the next I would be starting work on a project to upgrade feature Z in the app, with an expected delivery date based on highly trained programmers and no training.
I would be curious to hear what any current or former AWS employees think the internal consequences become for this.

From the outside, it feels like they are going to have to do something different to get some customer confidence back. Some sort of "mea culpa" with an explanation of what they are going to change.
You don't even need to be familiar with rust to know this - it's a feature of pretty much language.

That said, I can guarantee rate I have missed such issues in my code both as the writer and the reviewer. Saying "it's in the documentation" doesn't mean it's inexcusable to make 5he mistake.
A consistent approach would forbid any use of Intel, AMD, or ARM processors (proprietary microcode in all of them) as well as any wireless technology (again, proprietary firmware). But the FSF has decided that if they can pretend that any proprietary code is somehow unchangeable hardware, or if not, if they don't tell people how to change it or if they even encourage vendors to prevent changing it, this somehow supports freedom.
I wish for our Canadian friends that the telescope unfurls on Boxing Day.

In my view it is likely to be a financial success at least over the medium term precisely because it will disempower everyone who's not a substantial capital owner and promises to put very strong ownership validation tools in the hands of those who are.

If you want a distributed system that empowers end users, you're better off dusting off your favourite bittorrent client.

NFTs in particular are essentially just distributed DRM. Though in practice it will likely be circumnavigable for all cases other than verifying ownership on a block chain just like contemporary DRM is today.

But ultimately "Web3" looks to empower capital owners above anyone else, who are already massively empowered. So you have to wonder what the point is other than as a get rich quick scheme for delirious libertarians.

The same forces of wealth based accumulation that exist in the current internet/web will come into fruition in the Web3 world precisely because it is the most powerful centralising force on the internet and does nothing to address this.
Net neutrality wouldn’t fix this is if the issue is a peering problem (which is very common today). The internet has become so centralized that ISPs cheap out on transit and just direct peer to all of the big content providers.
Ask HN: Simple prebuilt CSS themes for semantic HTML?
I've been out of the web development game for many years now. I have a dead-simple static HTML page with proper semantic elements (e.g. h1, header, footer, etc.). I'm looking for prebuilt "themes" that I can just stick in a <link> to automatically apply styling to make things a bit prettier.

What are these CSS files called? Any projects on github or similar with a collection of them I can choose from? I can't remember the correct word for these so a web search turns up irrelevant results...
You want MXLinux - Debian with just enough systemd to work in a modern environment but with SysV init. https://mxlinux.org

> not to mention 5-minute shutdown times

5 minutes? Try total hang on shutdown, and often not starting up. That was my systemd experience. I traced it down to a NFS mount that no amount of tinkering would mount reliably pn boot. Granted that was several years ago, but soured me on systemd.
