I think this is especially prevalent in schools. You'll see things like this even for things that aren't related to computers. When I was a kid, drugs in your locker were your drugs, even though breaking into the lockers was trivial and stashing drugs in other people's lockers was the way business was done.

I wouldn't have told the school of a theft I witnessed even if I knew there were cameras recording the entire thing. You're guilty unless you can prove someone else was more guilty and they're not really concerned about the truth of the matter so they're not trying to help you.
Man, the people in this thread have some tree-sized sticks in places where the sun don't shine.

Also seems like many of these people haven't been to an engineering conference with demo gear out. And seem to be overlooking that this was 30-40 years ago, talking about equipment that'd cost $150k in today's money. That was an engineer or two worth of annual salary for the time period.

I'd damn well expect a sales person selling me a piece of gear like that at a field-specific conference to know how to use it and be able to reset the thing to factory spec in a pinch. Which seems to be exactly what the sales person ended up doing.
IIRC I got to move some heavy analytics queries, which could not be ran on a read only replica (rollups) and without hearing the word budget once. Main db remained on RDS.

>[...] certain areas of thoughts that tend to recur can be set aside and the feeling associated with them identified. The feeling can then be worked with by first accepting that it is there, without resisting it or condemning it. And then one begins to empty out the energy of the feeling directly by letting it be what it is until it runs out. Somewhat later, the former thoughts can now be looked at and their character will be observed to have changed. If the feeling has been totally surrendered and let go, usually all thoughts associated with it will have disappeared entirely and been replaced by a concluding thought which handles the matter quickly.

Show HN: Jig – Live coding your business dashboards (now with demo video)
Hi again HN,

Last month I posted this Show HN [0], which was well received but most comments were by people asking for a demo / video / docs, because the install step was too much a barrier for entry. So here it is updated with video and (partial) documentation. I really wish I can get people's feedback on the tool itself.

About Jig:

Jig is a live coding environment to quickly create interactive business dashboards / small internal apps.

My target customers are growing startups who spend too much time in Excel/Google Sheets to create their growth reports / retention charts / ad hoc analyses, while they have the coding expertise to compute metrics with a proper programming language.

The language is Javascript, but you don't need to know any html/css/d3 for charts or tables, cause all that part's taken care of. Connecting to databases and or APIs is also straightforward, so all you need to write is code that transform your data in the way you want to present it.

It's meant to be light and nimble (no server / no database needed) and it runs on your computer.

Sorry for those who've seen this before, I won't repost soon.

Alright, go for it. Speak out all you want. Cryptocurrency users will continue ignoring and/or deriding you.

Telling people that you don't like what they're doing is not an effective way to modify their behavior. You need to provide competing incentives, and somehow I doubt y'all are up to that.
Runs into the same problem the majority of people have in capitalist democracies: rights are tied to economic ability. Kids are usually economically tied to their parents, so if a parent decides "Wups, gotta take a new job across the country" or even "I'm sorry, I don't have time to drive you there."

(As a side note - dumb parents tell their kids "No, you can't be friends with ...." Smart parents ensure their kids will never meet ... before their kids are even born, through zoning laws and buying a home in a good neighborhood. I wonder if housing policy advocates realize how much of housing policy is driven by ensuring that your kids associate with "the right" sort of people.)

I agree, the answer list is clearly curated to avoid unusual words.

This leaves a fuzzy middle ground for human players: there are accepted guess words like SOARE that can be good as a first guess, but is almost certainly not going to be the answer. Conversely, FAVOR is not a good first guess; but of the two words human players know which is more likely to be the answer.

For computer implementations that want to avoid "cheating" (not use the answer list), there would still seem to be room for evaluating how likely a given guess is to be in the curated list.

That could be done by examining a corpus for frequency of each guess word, which if done right should give the same insight we have as humans.

This can be confusing because there are various bewildering options, some of which are slower (or outright ineffective for personal records) than others but getting FBI records is comparatively straightforward once you've navigated the maze. I did it a few years ago and they sent me a CD's worth of stuff, plus a note of things they had not sent me or had redacted with instruction on challenging their decisions on these.

I generally agree, I have a cheap AWS Lightsail VPS (mainly for email hosting since my ISP blocks port 25 because I'm a "consumer" and they want to protect the world for consumer spammers) but also for flexibility. I like that the Internet is not at my doorstep (no open ports at home). So, cheap VPS, Wireguard and my home machines to serve whatever I want. I don't pay extra if I use a ton of CPU or disk IO, for example.

Here is my Wireguard server (cheap VPS) and client (my home servers) config:

#
# Client (the actual self-host local server)
#

## This Desktop/client's private key ##
PrivateKey = redacted

## Client ip address ##

## Ubuntu 20.04 server public key ##

## set ACL ##
AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0

## Your Ubuntu 20.04 LTS server's public IPv4/IPv6 address and port ##
Endpoint = redacted:12345

## Key connection alive ##
PersistentKeepalive = 15

#
# Server (in the Wireguard context, exposed to the Internet)

## My VPN server private IP address ##

# Add lines for more ports if desired

## client VPN IP address (note the /32 subnet) ##
AllowedIPs = 10.10.123.2/32
generally that would indicate that the feature needs an update to address the issue...

But it's rather convenient for the platform to not do that update if it circumvented their profit making interests, and the interests of the other paying entities (like corps and celebrities) that need to promote things that could be otherwise muted for the comfort of their entire user community.

Sure, it's not always a conspiracy theory as someone will likely comment, but in this case, the evidence is clear as daylight.
It's housing. Fix housing, and people will be happier.

Yep. This seems like the obvious setup to me:

1) make the usual case as economical as possible (and ownership and the associated control will probably help here, unless you have to lease the expertise too)

2) outsource the exceptional case (ownership is less likely to matter here, and will matter for less time even if it does)

A quick search online suggests that Russians also tend to be at higher risk for vitamin D deficiency and that the local climate/weather is a large contributing factor. I feel pretty comfortable saying that people who live in northern climates like Russia should be getting their Vitamin D levels checked, and potentially taking supplements or using sun lamps.

Who says that? This thread seems to be full of arm chair lawyers as another comment just told me that there is no gold standard since 1970.

Whatever, the thing I want to buy with the particular coin would immediately reduce 40.000 fold in price. That might be illegal in some sense, if contracts are bound to stay valid across fluctuation, but that's basically how markets work.

In the end it's all numbers on paper anyway, so I don't see the immediate implication, except that a state is supposed not to go on a lone run.
It would be fairest to say that no one who claims to be right is.

This, plus "you build it, you run it", which I don't agree with, given that most mid to large sized companies run devops teams, effectively hiding infrastructure details from developers.
But isn't that worse? You basically just said that the people we vote for aren't actually the people in charge. How is that supposed to make anyone feel better?

Sure, but that’s not a huge effect. The Sun hits us with 125-150Petawatts of solar energy, was about 15% cooler when life developed (~20PW), and the amount of heat the Earth emitted from radioactive decay was at most about a factor of 1000 times less (~120TW) around the time life developed.

Even the energy released by the Earth cooling and solidifying over 100 million years still only comes down to like 1-2 Petawatts except immediately. And to try to make up another 10PW from bombardment heating would require About 1000 cubic kilometers of infalling asteroids per year (more than a Moon’s worth of mass over 100 million years), so Earth should’ve become pretty frigid soon after solidifying… UNLESS there was significantly more greenhouse effect back then (which is most likely!).
Nice. I have an SGI Indigo that I will probably never be able to use again because I forgot its login credentials years ago. And I think the monitor was proprietary to SGI and I tossed because it took up too much room.

They're just poster children for the particular brand of disdain $100k+/year "tech workers" bear for their users: they make enough for the shiniest of toys, so they're too far above spending their valuable time to make their software run smooth on our $100 crap phones. Nevermind that each Fb client update likely produces hundreds of tons of toxic trash called gadgets. Sure, sometimes they do optimizations. Generally, though, both Fb and Google keep exploring the physical limits to code bloat. Remember that one time that Fb hit the JVM class count limit?

Don't use "here documents" or "here strings" for passwords. Even in bash versions as recent as 2020, they create a temporary file within `/tmp/` with the secret inside. If the timing is unlucky, it will get written to disk and therefore leave permanent traces even after reboot. Only shredding will securely delete the data.

No-one is talking "making legal [something]".

The compound noun "legal tender" is a legal term of art that refers to forms of payment that must be accepted in the settlement of a debt. When we say "the law would make Bitcoin legal tender in Arizona", we mean "the law would require that Bitcoin be accepted for the settlements of debt within Arizona's jurisdiction".

There is no sensible alternate reading nor lexical nor linguistic ambiguity here.

Hey, I work on Twitter's search team.

This sounds like a bug we're aware of where an account that goes public -> private we'll reliably purge their tweets from the public index, but if an account goes private -> public sometimes we'll not re-populate the main index correctly.

> we had one person's account whose search results still showed searchbanned tweets

This part doesn't match what I'm describing, but could be explained by the logged in account having access to private tweets in search results that logged out / other accounts do not.

I guess for me, the fact that the political reality makes infrastructure "hard" is profoundly obvious... And, while the specific details may change with the city, that reality is quite common throughout the US (even the relatively specific economic conditions discussed earlier in the context of Pittsburgh are not really that unique)...

Pretending like this type of infrastructure decline is somehow unique to Pittsburgh, which, at least implicitly, the top level comment does, does a great disservice to actually finding solutions to the problems with that "political reality on the ground" - and not just in Pittsburgh.
What AnimalMuppet said plus the slow-but-steady evisceration of the middle class through overseas outsourcing, the gig economy, predatory lending, and rising education + housing costs (start at various points in time since then). And the religious devotion that we are all expected to have to work, work, work (despite it buying us neither housing nor security nor peace of mind).

Then throw in a failed imperial venture or two, with attendant suicide and drug addiction rates.

But the question is: what is morally clean?

Is housing not a bubble? Then, how could prices be that inflated in most places, even with a stable (or just slightly increasing) population?

Is stock trading not a bubble, because "real companies exist and have a value"? But, their price is probably 20x their "real worth"?

Is selling vegetables in grocery stores at 20x the price the farmer gets morally clean?

Is it morally clean to keep putting CO2 into the air that everybody breaths?

There are a freaking lot of "unclean" things in the world. I don't understand why a lot of people seem to focus on cryptocurrencies and blockchains.
