Apparently the cost of credit card processing amounts to $12.5K, on account of something that the freelancer could not have been aware of. The thing to watch for is whether Upwork improves their processes on account of this happening, changes their terms of service (supply side) changes their terms of service (demand side) or does nothing at all. That will tell you all you need to know.
As both a client and contractor, I like arc.dev / codementor.io. It's well-paid, with a decent amount of high quality people on there.
D-Bus is the established IPC on desktop Linux. The libdbus library is pretty old and not great, you'll have better luck using one of the other implementations. I can recommend a few:

- GDBus, if you're developing for GNOME

- QtDBus, if you're developing for KDE

- sd_bus, if you're writing low-level C

- zbus, if you're using Rust

For other languages, you'll want to look for bindings to one of those libraries, instead of bindings to libdbus.

Also legal: doing it in house it's on you vs being a Slack feature means it's on them. CYA by outsourcing.

And consider this also: "hey we're quite sure pur homegrown system is as leak proof as it can be, trust us or fire up an audit team for 5 sprints to asses compliance" vs "Slack has the box checked already"

The fact that folks can e.g technically fire up a headless browser and programmatically interact with the app via capybara or whatever to rebuild a makeshift API, or just take pictures with their phones because the compliant system is inconveniencing them daily is immaterial.
All of the brother printers I've owned have had ethernet so I just plug them into the network -- no wifi problems then either.

Wired networks are so much better than wifi, so anytime I have walls/ceilings open for renovations, I always come in after the contractors leave to run some ethernet wires for future use. After a couple of renovations I've got some really useful runs for hardwiring some of the things I use most: TVs, printers, and an extra wireless access point in my garage for extra range.
Not a lie - its how the work the economics out. Lower the upfront cost of getting you on their product. The net present value of all the ink payments / subscription services is the value of the product. They probably have little to no margin on the actual printer purchase.
IMHO, reading just to know/remember/consume research paper, textbook or long text content is kinda unnatural. Usually, what I do is find a problem that I genuinely want to solve or a question I want to answer, then I'll read to find any information seem useful. If that information can solve my problem or lead me to right direction, I'll remember better and feel more natural.
I think the point is the insecure payment method was Upwork's decision (they don't even allow their freelancer to propose an alternative their own payment solution) as was accepting the stolen card; risk management of non-reversible payments has a cost too, but that's a decision Upwork made. The only security decision the freelancer made was not to use Upwork's spyware. Which would give Upwork valid reason to default to siding with the client over the freelancer in the case of a dispute about completed work, but not to demand a freelancer reimburse them because Upwork had chosen to accept reversible payments with a stolen card and couldn't easily recover funds from their client after the chargeback.
No they shouldn't but your government should provide for those children and their development. There are countries on this planet which have shown how it's supposed to be done.

Instead some Governments went out and sacrificed everybody.
I just think it's fairly obvious that if people prefer to live in places that would cause them to be segregated, then they will be segregated. Not sure what the model adds to this. Its parameters aren't a helpful guide to the underlying reality.
I find that her book is a bit hard sell or difficult to practice vs what I saw her how she did it on the TV series. Critics need to watch that to understand. Reading and thinking is hard for those critics these days (maybe that is why good journalistic content seems rare these days vs reality TV scriptings).
It is; the US banking system is a mess. Everything clears through the fed, believe it or not.

There are two things you can do, however: one is request your bank set a default ACH block, and the other is to create a sub/second account from which you do all your ACH transfers for utilities and whatnot. It's a bit of an extra hassle (unless your bank allows for scheduling automatic transfers; many do) but it assures that stuff like can't happen. I've done it for a business that took paypal payments, specifically to stop paypal from being able to yoink back funds a month or two later. Within hours of a payment coming in, I'd transfer it out of the ACH-linked account into the business's main account.
why? Giving residents voting rights in local elections is not exactly a totally new and unimaginable proposal.
What a perfect way to describe the situation.

Imagine an enterprise disallowing all VCS service providers -- whether hosted on-prem or cloud -- because they use SSH instead of HTTP.
HP ships Open Source support for just about every printer they provide. (You have to bypass the pile of steps in the on-printer portion of setup that desperately want to push you into an ink subscription, though.)
The Downside of Rust [video]
In this video I present two example scenarios both implemented in JavaScript and Rust. In the first example, Rust's strictness shines and enables clear and robust code. The second example, a logger middleware, demonstrates some of Rust's weaknesses.

I second this.

I take antihistamines from April to September. Loratadin absolutely has a negative effect on my mood. Mostly because I feel tired I believe. Switched to Ebastin and no more tiredness. However, I am starting to suspect that it also does affect my mood in some way or another.

During winter I take a pill as a precautionary if I’m going to be in any dusty spaces. The day after I sometimes experience mood swings that I cannot explain.
awesome tool! fount some interesting data explore the Compare Streaming Services section [1]

For example, Netflix and Prime Video are almost equal on total number of shows (~5.5k movie + series) but on Netflix only 4% shows are from pre-2000, while Prime has 20%. Also HBO Max has half size of Netflix library, but when filter by IMDb rating and voters, the gap is much smaller, and in certain cases HBO even wins out.

In terms of language diversity, Netflix is doing the best with 45% content not in English, that is far more than anyone else (except Zee5 which is primarily Hindi). However when it comes down to a specific language, the number is usually much smaller and around 100, which is less than ideal for someone primarily consumes French/German/Chinese/Korean/etc. (tweeted more about this [2])

My experience with six cats over the last 25 years is that the outdoor cats lived much longer and got sick less than my inside cats.

I have no idea why, but i don't think it's diet, because they've all eaten the same food.
Huh, yeah, you might be right!
I really don't know. I just find that the cognitive experience of reading papers or even books set in CM is always very easy for me, certainly compared to some other common fonts. However, my first glance at the page(s) always leads to "Oh, ugh, not CM again" and my eye notices the serifs, the rather blocky aspect ratio, the weirdly varying line weights ... and then I read it and my eyes/brain love it.
Even trying to be a hotshot, something i often do naturally, I believe comes from anxiety of joining a new group; a way to justify, ensure my place in it.

I have although, as I recall, while the book touches on some of the conditions for the wisdom of crowds to work I didn't leave with a strong sense of a definitive list.

However, as noted upthread some of the things would seem to be independent solutions, an ability to meaningfully aggregate those solutions, and some level of expertise in the crowd (i.e. if everyone's just making completely random guesses it won't work).

Money maker for lawyers. You get a fee if you find non-compliance.

As with most things. Follow the money.
How do you measure "questionable benefits"? As a Government you have to protect every single citizen. Lifes have been saved because of lockdowns, vaccination, masks, etc. Not doing that and letting everybody get Covid to see who survives is barbaric. I know that it's no seen that way in the US since this has been your culture but you should accept that it's not seen that way in civilized countries.
It's difficult to understand what your complaint is, that describes every software project I've ever seen. You pick a target set of users and then develop for those users. Is there some other way to develop software?
That's brilliant. It puts my general vibe of software basically for the past 10 years (maybe longer? for me mostly the advent of the app stores and near serial release of hundreds of thousands of apps) into a single sentance.
While I would certainly not consider Computer Modern as a beautiful typeface, it is likely that your perception of it is biased due to looking at it on computer displays.

Knuth has chosen Computer Modern to be a so-called "Modern" typeface, which is a name applied to a certain style of typefaces that became popular at the beginning of the 19th century and which was frequently used for mathematics books of that time.

Of all styles of typefaces, the "Modern" typefaces are the least appropriate for computer displays, because no desktop computer display has a resolution high enough to render such typefaces.

On computer displays, Computer Modern and all typefaces of this kind (with excessive contrast between thick and thin lines) are strongly distorted to fit the display pixels, so they become much uglier than when rendered correctly on a high-resolution printer (i.e. at 1200 dpi or more).

Therefore you cannot compare Computer Modern with more recent typefaces that have been designed to look nice on computer displays or with old typefaces from other families, which were suitable for low-resolution printing.

Computer Modern was strictly intended for very high resolution printing on paper and not for viewing documents on computers.

> Is this not exactly what enforcing copyright is since copyright dictates where and how something can be consumed?

The copyright on a (printed) book doesn't let the publisher dictate where and how the book can be read. As long as you're not making copies or derivative works or putting on a public performance you can consume it however you wish. Even on those cases there are exceptions for fair use, e.g. parody. The same applies to DRM-free audiovisual recordings. Anyone can make a player for VHS tapes or DRM-free DVDs without running afoul of copyright, but the same is not true once DRM is involved thanks to the anti-circumvention clauses of the DMCA, and that gives publishers far more power to dictate how copyrighted (or even formerly copyrighted) works can be used than they would have under copyright alone.
That's why I've said that their work was used, not that they did it.
Tell them to get bent.
SSH Agent Restriction (new in OpenSSH 8.9)
The deaths/case was only so high because they literally didn't have any testing available. Only those the absolute sickest even got testing. Then for a couple months you couldn't get a test unless you knew someone who had tested positive, which you didn't because they couldn't get a test either. Those inflated the deaths/case. Early on they tested an entire naval ship and 40% of the ship tested positive but was completely asymptomatic. This is why we all started wearing masks even if you weren't sick, because it wasn't just sick people who were cases. The case numbers were underestimated by huge factor, especially early on, and with Omicron the case number even though it is high, is still underestimated for the same reason, that people that don't get that sick just don't get tested.

Thanks HackerNews team, that's very sweet :)
The actual problem is that chargebacks are possible when using credit cards, and chargebacks are possible because of the legal concept of card fraud (i.e. the person holding the credentials could actually not be legally "authorized" to realize the transaction), and the legal concept of card fraud exists mainly for two reasons:

1. Banks are bad at security.

2. People are bad at security.

3. The responsibility in the case of fraudulent transactions is not clear. Who is to blame? The bank or the user?

Cryptocurrencies either solve these problems or neutralize the negative consequences of these problems:

- There is no bank to impose dumb security rules

- When credentials are "stolen", the user has no one else to blame than themselves.

- There's no concept of fraud. Whoever holds the credentials (private key or nmemonic seed) is authorized to realize transactions using the credentials.

- There are no chargebacks. Once a transaction is confirmed, the receiver can be certain that their money is not going to get pulled back.
Haha, sorry. But actually it's pretty much it. You need VPNs to check catalogs in different countries, which is tricky for some services (like Netflix) as they try to block VPNs. So you gotta always have a large pool. Catalogs of services like Prime Video is just there without an account but for Netflix you need accounts to see the catalogs (and not to send too many requests otherwise they block you).

Rest of it is just writing some regular crawlers.
It's a challenging and complex topic so I don't know how much to respond in a short text-based reply. In the context of this article, you're correct, I shouldn't have called this mere awkwardness (although depending on the circumstances, it might be), and I accept that was a mistake.

Generally I agree and hope that people accept responsibility when they understand they've caused offence, can apologize and/or make amends, and improve and adapt their behaviour over time. There are a wide swathe of cultural, neurodiversal and experiential effects that can factor into situations.

It also seems wise to guard against circumstances where it is impossible to become angry or critique an authority class or figure(s). That anger and frustration can be justified and if it isn't allowed or listened to, then that is a problem.
Prefixes are not themselves words.
Right, it is one of the reasons not the only one.
> how do i find anyone if i don’t live in a big city and don’t know anyone?

I was in the same position. I lived in the suburbs and started right after graduating high school. I ended up writing about how I got started here: https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/how-to-start-a-successful-fre..., most things still apply today (minus covid restrictions).

> why would anyone read my blog?

A lot of this world revolves around problem -> solution. If you can write about a topic that solves a problem someone might have or at least get them closer to solving their problem then you're in a good spot.

Think about it, if you're Googling for a specific programming problem and you run across a blog post that resonates with where you're at and helps you solve the thing you're struggling with, does it really matter who wrote it? For me it doesn't. Sure credentials help and I tend to ask myself how they applied their solution but I won't discount a post entirely based on the author's credentials.
Appreciating the full stack rather than just focusing on the backend is very important to a marriage.

Substack gives a voice the the people that have been shun from far left and state sanctioned circles, like Twitter or Medium. This is certainly neither Medium (which bans people that do not follow progressive morals or ideals) nor OnlyFans (which is a porn website).

In 2000 and earlier elections, different networks used different colors, without a lot of consistency from election to election. It was only after that election that there became a strong immutable consensus on what color was what.
Again, I disagree and regularly use PowerShell as a command language --as do many Windows admins-- and much prefer its object-based pipelining and relatively sensible and consistent command and argument naming to bash's error-prone text pipeline and mixture of 2-letter abbreviations and complete nonsense names. But whatever, to each their own.

This subthread was specifically about programming languages being available out of the box in OSs, so when you brought up bash my natural assumption was that meant as a programming language.

No need to ask for a friend :P as in other countries mentioned here, VAT for intra community (or in my case non EU / UK) trade there is no VAT. You do have to register as a VAT company but since there is none you charge there is none to pay. My daily rate is 450 GBP (500 EUR more or less) and that's it. No VAT added despite being a VAT reg company. There is nothing dodgy, it is by design. The country benefits by preventing a brain drain and keeping money in the country.

The biggest problem with Bradford Pears is that they're incredibly susceptible to wind damage [1,2]. After about seven or eight years of age, they can be felled by even the lightest wind storm.

These are interesting to me as a notebook user, because a lot of these I see as advantages of the notebook design.

(1) This is better to me, because it makes notebooks more consistent and easier to jump into. I read english prose sequentially, why not code?

(2) You can do this in all environments I've used with <a> tags.

(3) this would be nice, but I'm not sure it's worth the tradeoff because the editing environment wouldn't correspond as well to the exported document.

(4) true, but I have a vim plugin that make it better

(5) also true, but this is a good thing for simplicity. I don't want to have to keep track of the lexical scope of multiple language environments

(6) There are tools for this, but yeah it's not great. The main issue is saving outputs

It sounds like the goals of notebooks vs org mode are slightly different, at least the way I use notebooks.

For me, notebooks are a tool for sacrificing control and programming flexibility in exchange for easier collaboration and visualization. It's harder to write structured code, but it's much easier to share with a large number of semi-technical people.
Hmmm sorry that doesnt seem right. If it is the same wavelength it should have the same properties. You can add waves so that they add up to a new wave. But it is still a uv wave.

Maybe the intensity is less…. :). Or the range of uv is more specific.
