I'll support anyone who advocates for shorter work weeks.

I think 40 hours is way too much time if you want to spend time with your family.
Yeah it's a dump. I traveled there a few years ago with a buddy who was very excited to visit Christiania, like it was the key thing he wanted to do on the whole trip. He came away pretty disappointed.
Yes! There cannot be an expectation of goodwill, especially with policy. While I personally think people should be more generous, I can't believe that policy should depend on it. Thank you for pointing this out and I will work to be more clear.
The muddying is helpful...to them.
Seconded on the Sunbeam! We inherited my father-in-law's when he moved across the country. He inherited it from his parents.

It's been in constant use for at least 60 years (I'm not sure when his parents got it), and is now making perfect toast for a fourth generation.
> Cleveland, which is very close to Lake Erie.

It's on the shore of Lake Erie. If it were any closer to Lake Erie it would be underwater!

Lake Erie is not so far from Columbus: When I was a prof at Ohio State, my wife and I would go to Lake Erie just for a pleasant Saturday afternoon. So we'd go to Cleveland, ..., Sandusky, etc.
I have a properly set up house network with IPv4 and IPv6 support infrastructure. In December, we used 1.22 TiB total traffic, of which 722.96 GiB was IPv6.

IPv6 traffic has been at least 50% for at least the last year (based on the most convenient statistics I can grab).
Interesting. I always butter my bread. Sometimes I'll also put other stuff on it, but always butter first.
I don't know how much longer this will last given stadia and xcloud. I've been playing on them and if they improve over 5 years' time, I could really see them becoming the standard.

There were some similarities, but I'd say Scheme is more different than similar.

Scheme is GC'd

Scheme is fundamentally based on functions rather than proceedures

Scheme functions are first-class

Scheme uses tail recursion in place of loops

Scheme uses CPS and continuations (even though that was no doubt a mistake)

Scheme has symbols and programs are composed of symbols.

Scheme makes use of macros pervasively (not even C-style preprocessors were in ALGOL)

Scheme has only expressions while ALGOL has statements.

A lot of surface-level API designs and names seem inspired by ALGOL, but the fundamental building blocks seem very different to me.
> everything that touches upon finance vaguely feels like a scam

Citation needed. The fact that there are lots of scams or projects of dubious value doesn't prove that everything is. It's not really different than looking at tech startups, most are bad ideas that won't ever work but some do work.
Ask HN: What are the features/technologies that make up Web 3.0?
Some say web3 is about cryptocurrency and decentralizatioan, others say it is about the metaverse with focus on VR/AR, and some are bringing up the semantic web. What do folks think? What are the major features/trends of Web 3.0?
I will read it.
I believe Google (used to?) ignores it if it's set to only English because that's too often the default. If that's the case, the work around is to set a second preferred language.
There are web-based (in browser) CADs and DAWs... What sort of application would be more demanding?
Afaik .co and .net are not confirmed to be affected TLDs, but they are affected in other parts of the address. For example if the QR code contains the URL `foonet.uk` Google's autocorrection would change it to `foo.net.uk`.

Can't comment about the roots of the words, but I agree with your assessment of those words.

This is actually one of my favorite games to play with friends, taking a word and talking about it's connotations, or contrasting it with another similar word. Nothing super academic, just our own thoughts and feelings and examples of use.
>Money doesn’t just materialize out of thin air to make that work.

Except when money does materialize out of thin air with fractional reserve banking. That's not for us, though. Obviously, we all know that burnin'-money for us tech folks grows on VC trees these days.
I have worked professionally for a company that made desktop apps for film production (VFX), and also internally for studios in their R&D departments and those were also almost entirely desktop based.

Outside of professional work, I’ve jumped right back in to Ham radio over the Corona times, there are lots of desktop applications in use there (DSP mainly) but usability and support for hardware (both devices, and platforms) is hit and miss and I have a few ideas for making my own versions as side projects. Several of these are paid - so do you have any hobbies or niche domains you’re knowledgeable about that you could explore?
> bootstrapping VS "VC road" is much more nuanced

Sure. But don't try and redefine what bootstrap means.

It means building your company without requiring any professional investors and without modifying your cap table.

You've done neither.

This isn't particularly true, there are a lot of details to how KYC/AML for crypt works under the hood for that escape the discussion usually and leave gaping laundering holes. Crypto has its own equivalent of trad-fi shell companies to enable laundering, and it's a bit of a miracle for the space that these details haven't surfaced yet. I'm hoping they don't until the space is much more meshed into regulated finance, such that not much can be done about it.
Knowing people at NASA, this hasn't been the case in my life-time. Most of the flagship rover missions have been designed principally to find evidence of water and life on Mars. Those "geological" missions have been dedicated to finding the evidence of water (something that has been done in my lifetime. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_information_from_th...

Once detection was confirmed, the mission brief for Curiosity and Perseverance has evolved to finding life. One of the largest science initiatives at NASA right now revolves around sample return to perform a more exhaustive search for Martian life using Earthen laboratories. https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-moves-forward-with-c...

I have had the good fortune to get to know some of the senior scientific leadership at NASA. I can confidently say, based on their budget and talking to them, that detection of life in the solar system and other planets is the #1 scientific priority at NASA.

I really like this part. So much, that in my brain I connected it with Horizon Zero Dawn (game) and it seems pretty valid and connected story for me. At least in parallel with Dune books (where they have thousand years gap between books).
Thanks! Julia was not even in 1.0 when we started the project, but would absolutely be a great choice today. So far, only the Conopt4 solver can solve our model, which means we have to go through GAMS even if we rewrite in Julia. I saw Rackauckas' JuliaCon presentation where he talks about ML approximations and immediately got excited too.
Sending crypto through a mixer isn't money laundering.
You still need to effectively launder it afterwards to say - buy a house from it.
Mixing is just the first step to cover the tracks after committing a financial crime.

Pretty much any webapp can be replaced with local desktop app for security and privacy concise people. Some of things I wish had desktop version:

1. CRM - I don't want to store private customer data on 3rd party servers.

2. Budgeting app - Used to use Quicken but it moved to web and I switched to Mint because it is free. I tried some free opensource apps but experience was not smooth. So I am sticking with Mint for now.

3. Trade analysis apps - Sites like TradingView or TraderVue are great but I don't want to put too much effort in there. I rather have my trading data stored locally on my machine. As a programmer, I export CSVs and run them in local Jupyter notebooks but I think a more user friendly version should be high in demand.
Actually there’s plenty of international financial organizations that just don’t want to deal with US persons because of FATCA.

Try opening something more than a most basic bank account in any European country. There’s a fair chance that they simply won’t want you as a customer.

Thanks for the explanation, I interpreted as 'Chicago'd' as a reference to the city of Chicago's high violent-crime rate.
Exactly what I was going to say. "Friends don't let friends use us-east-1" - us-east-2 will be a huge spot for computing in the coming decade.
I switched from Evernote to Joplin a year or two ago, and it has been a great experience. Joplin is much more markdown-centric, so it doesn't fully replace all of Evernote's features, but it does have good support for multiple organizational schemes, including notebooks (i.e., folders) and tags, which I appreciate. They have both mobile and desktop apps, and even a CLI. And it's built to sync over any number of cloud services, including Dropbox, Google Drive, or Nextcloud.

Anyway, I recommend checking it out to see if it meets your use case. It's been a while, but I believe it has the ability to import from Evernote, or at least read from whatever export format Evernote provides, something like that.
Actually, yes, I do want that code to crash if x is NULL.

I implemented it using generics not for performance gains but to avoid type assertions and interfaces which I find are a major source of error and side step many of the benefits of a type safe language. Any performance gains is merely a side affect.
Surprise! Not everyone on HN is in webdev. I don't know much about how this all works but surveyed my user-agent-switcher utility and found no such language options.
It takes enormous amounts of capital to do all of this. He's got to build some of that capital first, and to do that he has to pursue commercial interests first. Once he's got positive cash-flow and growth and demonstrated a sustainable business, then he still can't quite build a radio telescope on SpaceX's dime for fiduciary reasons, but he'd have built a launch facility that governments could use to do it.

No opinion on what anyone should do here. It's pretty clear it's a challenging situation.

More generally, the way I feel about Hyrum's Law is:

* The only way to guarantee you won't run afoul of Hyrum's Law is to make no updates.

* As a consequence, I don't care about Hyrum's Law. I make updates to the best of my ability, trying not to break others, but I don't/can't guarantee they won't break others.

* If my updates can break others, I can't push them to others without explicit consent. Others have to pick them up on their own schedule, when they have the time to test them for their own context.

* If my updates can break others, others may have to make changes to them for themselves.

Rather surprisingly, these baby steps lead to a world entirely different from the one I live in. One where we don't have interchangeable parts (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interchangeable_parts) yet, where software is often tweaked for a specific situation.

I've been ranting about this for a long time: http://akkartik.name/post/division-of-labor. It's shockingly unconventional, but I find the reasoning to be ironclad. If you can think of a refutation, I'd love to hear it. (Beyond, "no way anyone will use it." My goal is to understand what we _should_ do today, excluding tech breakthroughs.)

The one open question with this approach is how to notify people when you discover a security vulnerability in the software they're running. The way we deal with such notifications today feels highly inefficient, and yet I don't really know how to improve things.
> Did Apple claim it would impact sandboxing? I don't think they did.

Apple claims that security would be impacted. They implied that sandbox=app store. Its all FUD marketing, of course, but they heavily implied that the app store review was the safety method for customers.

> if your iOS app wants to track users, it must go through AppTrackingTransparency.framework, which allows the user to opt-out, and use the device’s advertising identifier which the user may reset.

No reason you can't make access to the ATT DeviceID a call to OS. It'd return 000000 in generic case, and prompt the user at OS level to approve. If no approval, then it'd return 0 to app. You can't guarantee what they're doing with the number in-app, but apple barely does that now with review so probably not much loss. Sure some apps could try to access restricted memory or file paths that they aren't supposed to... but thats what the sandbox is for. BUT maybe apple should just kill DeviceId for everyone since im sure most people opted out.

The real loss to apple is that first party apps may have to play by their rules, and lose access to privileged APIs, or open them up to sideloaded apps (since the trust boundary is moved from source of app, to OS calls). They don't want to have to play by their own rules.
Ugh, how embarrassing. Of course it is. And it's still a great school. Unlike U of Indiana, I haven't been to CWRU. Thank you for the correction.
My sample size of two DSL modems that my ISP supports says yes. The old one would reboot if it received a fragmented IPv6 packet. The newer one is better, it doesn't crash, it just delays more or less all packets for a second if IPv6 was in use.

Wireless router support for IPv6 is iffy too, from what I've heard.
I think Twitter started having those "login screen" issues even before he took over. Like at least a month or 2 beforehand.
Much less congestion as well. I drive between them weekly and rarely see traffic anywhere close to California. It's a pretty comfortable 2 hour drive.
I mean, you can take the Amtrak from Cleveland to Chicago... but it leaves at like 3:30 AM which is why I never take Amtrak to Cleveland to visit my family from Chicago.
For starters, the Native American and African men are metaphors, representing the continents of North America and Africa. You could have gotten this far just by going to the museum's web page.
I don’t think the issue is that people don’t want to pay I think the issue is that people are expected to pay meanwhile those running the companies earn a disproportionate wage.

Other counties manage to have services that don’t depend on tips to pay their staff’s wages. I don’t see why the US can’t as well.

The reason the situation sucks is entirely down to the greed of the companies.
That is not an alternative for the DMV. There is no central registry and they can't create one.

"then also falsely claim COVID is literally a cold/flu" It's in the same area... the only difference is we've had those for generations and covid is new.

COVID is in effect a bad flu...

"5 million deaths" 5 million deaths FROM covid or WITH COVID?

Hint: You don't know because we don't know... those numbers are mixed, conflated and confused.

"Order of magnitude" In places like the US where hospitals get 30% more money for stamping "something" as "covid"? Hard to take numbers seriously... especially when you admit that "FROM" COVID and "WITH" COVID are different things and haven't been tracked properly.

If I have a heart attack... but I had COVID... Am I a COVID death or not? Currently, it's yes... you're a COVID death no matter what kills you. No matter that you're really not a COVID death.

"rational thought is not built on misinformation" but the fear around COVID is.

That's why kids who are statistically more likely to die tripping on a sidewalk are getting pushed to get vaccines that don't block transmition, don't stop covid and won't end the pandemic.

People aren't getting vaccinated for "rational though" because if they were then the people getting the vaccines would be the people who need the extra protection - as they also get that extra protection. Not kids or people in their 20's and younger who are proven a LONG time ago to not need to live in fear.

It's not rational thought that's driving COVID at this point. It's fear, misinformation, lies and the Holy Religion of The Vaccine.
I believe HTTP has had this feature since 1999 as the Accept-Language header defined in the HTTP/1.1 RFC[0].

IDK how many states don't require it, but Indiana, just to the west of Ohio, does not require safety inspections for personal vehicles. A few counties near Chicago do emissions testing I think.
Don’t focus on society-wide changes or what options you think should exist. Instead find a path that works for you.

You can learn on your own from books and online resources, find a mentor if you’re lucky. You can simply stop attending school and homeschool if your parents will cooperate. High school students generally can take classes at universities and community colleges. You can find all kinds of resources once you manage to free yourself from compulsory school attendance.

A high school diploma has some value in the job market, but you can get a diploma from community college or by examination in some states, you can look into that.
