What's stopping you? You don't even have to give up working in tech.

I started learning joinery a year ago. I'm still terrible at it by professional standards, but I've made some bespoke furniture pieces for our house that would have cost 2-3x what I spent in tools and materials, and I enjoyed the process.

It's definitely something you can do in your spare time, and even if you don't decide to go pro, you've still learned a valuable life skill.
Personal opinion: significantly. FedNow instant payments are a penny for up to $100k transfers, with the eventual plan to support up to $500k transfers.
“Found in Britain in the last 100 years” is quite the qualifier to drop completely in this context.
Note that Cyclone was born at AT&T Labs, so they knew what they let lose into the world, and thus Cyclone was born, as per their own reasoning why Cyclone.
Can we also get the submission title changed to something less useful, please?
Essentially parent commenter is making a No True Scotsman Fallacy.

Whatever they said is irrelevant. We were drone-striking weddings. For a decade.

In a country with no functioning police/military, carrying an AK was considered enough to make you a combatant.

Imagine if Canada invaded the US and decided that a couple of guys with hunting rifles in a pickup truck riding back from a hunting area were "enemy combatants."
Yeah duh because those countries don't subscribe to brain dead free market absolutism.
Fishing for people's money by sending out a large number of potentially fraudulent legal threats in order to obtain a minority of payments out of fearful people isn't much different morally than a scammer sending out thousands of fraudulent threats to cut off people's power in order to get a minority to pay up.

A criminal protection racket that is rarely on the side of right on any more than the most technical terms and often not even that isn't owed a nice response to their threats any more than a burglar is owed a fresh cup of coffee and a pleasant work environment while he loads your stuff into a moving van.
Unedited 2018 Interview of Vladimir Putin with NBC's Megan Kelly
For me, I just enable things piecemeal as I think a site is worth it.

I know there are people who maintain a browser profile with scripts enabled - for the Twitter's and Indeed's of the world that get upset if you don't have scripts on.
I think this style of writing can work - but it works best if the story is something other than two people just talking about 'how do you think this thing works?'.

Like if you can pick any story, why make it about two people in a study hall, studying and directly asking each other the question? It could be a story about some rogue hackers, international spies, or the characters could be ducks rather than humans, or you could tell it from the perspective of a sentient computer or application... So if you are going to make it into a fictional story, you might as well make it a fun fictional story (either by the premise or by a character!).
Note that as of now there is no paywall, going to the old URL forwards to the new URL and game history is kept (my streak is 38 days now), and the small number of removed words doesn't affect gameplay. Perhaps it makes sense for addicts to grab the original version just in case the NYT eventually restricts access, but so far they haven't.
My "retirement plan" is a book store/coffee shop. I don't want to code professionally forever.
Everyone is saying laundering, but wash or related parties is much more likely. The principal invested parties in NFTs desperately need to maintain transaction volume to pretend this is a real thing in which real people are really engaging.
Nowadays this is pretty much the space of either PowerBI or Tableau.

There used to be a lot of good candidates in this space even just a few years ago but Power BI has improved it's product and integrations very rapidly and with its affordability has displaced them at many big companies. Power BI also recently added some NLP capabilities from one of Microsoft's acquisitions which makes usage by non technical users easier.

If you're willing to put your data on BigQuery, then Google Data Studio / Looker is an even better solution for larger datasets due to the seamless integration and intelligent caching which (purely in my perception) seems to work better than Azure Analytics Services in the Microsoft side. Also BigQueryML works within SQL.

sounds about right! I got some of those vibes more than twice in my experience :D
I've been thinking recently on the concept of "deadlines" in development teams, alongside roadmaps and deadlines. I wish teams asked each day "What's the most impactful thing I can do for the business today", and focused on that.

Constantly acting under time-constraints removes the creativity from building. And, focusing on short-term productive gains comes at the expense of long-term fundamental progress.
I wonder if it's like recipes where the author writes in an elaborate style to prevent theft of their material. "I discovered this pizza recipe when I was hitchhiking through Naples after the death of my father. I was trying to find myself...". Instead of just typing out the recipe.
There are other long running MMORPGs that are worth mentioning like RuneScape (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RuneScape). A few years ago they realized they changed the game so much that they decided to 'restore a backup' from the good old times and launch it as 'Old School RuneScape'. If I'm not mistaken this retro version has more users than the 'main version', currently called RuneScape3. This game has a documentary on youtube and such. The main problem I found about being a 'long lived running MMORPGs' is that although the game still exists, the company was bought twice as far as I am concerned, and that changes a lot of things in a game, specially regarding to monetization. For example adding some gambling features and not standing much for ethics inside the game (e.g., bug exploitation) as a measure to keep paying customers. In the documentary the founder & ceo (Andrew) explicitly regret selling the company after seeing how the game (or at least some part of it) turned out to be.
TCP and UDP don't really dictate any of this behavior. Most of these hacks are the result of design choices in Linux and the socket API - abstractions on top of TCP/UDP that aren't the only option.

In my experience, the network layer is often way better-designed, more reliable, more interoperable, and less hacky than most OS abstractions built on top of it.
> shouldn't they be taxing gas more?

That depends. Do you think the goal of these particular Democrats is to solve climate issues, or get re-elected?
> Logging is a whole different beast. Especially if you even think about Elastic.

I think you kinda have to have something like Elastic. (Not necessarily Elastic, but honestly, I've yet to see anything better. Which … isn't great.) As soon as you're dealing with multiple services or multiple instances of a service, you'll want some way to aggregate logs. Even for a single service, on a single instance, some way to search logs (no, grep does not count), and at some point, alert.

"Why do people think companies of >70k people can't focus on more than one product/service?"

Because Facebook's core product is failing, and they should have all hands on deck to try to save it.
The abuse detection system that user is talking about does not kick in for 3 users on a shared IP who seeming accidentally participated in a subreddit another account was banned for. You would need much larger numbers or a moderator to formally acuse you of ban evasion to the admins.
The human birth rate also declines the more developed a country is (per person, at least)
They have an even stronger position in x86, where they are the dominant player in a duopoly, with new entrants denied access.

So yes, they might be interested in helping RISC-V in order to hurt Arm on the low end, but I'm sure they're not looking forward to RV eating a chunk of the x86 market.
FWIW, the "Mathias Bynens" in the article happens to be the JavaScript VIP Mathias Bynens, which, for some reason, doesn't surprises me at all.
Cool to see a link to Ran's writing on here. I've followed his blog for something like 12+ years. I'm pretty sure his writings were some of my first exposure to the ideas of dropping out, primitivist philosophy, and FIRE (were people calling it FIRE back then)? I kept coming back to his site because he always seemed to offer viewpoints on things I'd never considered or seen others say. He could distill long articles down into a few articulate ideas that really made me think in new ways and turned my brain on.

He had quite an influence on my own personal journey in life. I was already becoming quite dissatisfied with a life in tech, cranking out code for companies I didn't care about, when I found his blog in my mid 20s. I got pretty hooked on a lot of the more hardcore philosophy around dropping out, primitivism, homesteading, etc. I also became fixated on the idea of saving/investing and retiring early, and that formed my main life goal for nearly a decade.

I did manage to FIRE and mellowed out a lot on the more radical ideas of dropping out, and developed a more balanced view towards tech instead of disdain for it. The world is complicated, and the idea of just dropping all tech and going back to the past sounds so silly and infantile to me now, but I guess it comforted me in a time of existential dread. Anyway, not sure why I'm launching into a story of my life here, just felt nostalgic seeing this link up on HN today.
You sure? There have been a lot of misconceptions by laypeople about what is "safe for human consumption" through the years
If government is dependent on smokers smoking a lot to fund its activities, what happens if some smokers decide to quit? The government has vested interest to keep number of smokers high.
The universe is declarative. We just happen to be stuck with state machine interpreters in our skulls that can only parse one moment at a time.
Comparing the permanent loss of a limb to a possible fine to a corporation for mishandling data is a bit out of touch.
Radio firmware doesn't actually matter much in practice because they mostly hang off a non-DMA peripheral bus, and in any case, even if that's too much for your liking, rest assured any actual secure communication device will treat the radio as compromised by design. It comes with the territory of secure encrypted communication; the difference between "compromised radio" and "compromised router" and "malicious upstream ISP" are all effectively zero in terms of design. You use E2E, secure key storage, etc. It's all effectively the same threat model of a spy who can watch at some communication junction.

Don't get me wrong, it'd be nice to have a simple modem you could put Yocto on and then attach to some other thing over a memory interface. But it's really just a dumb set of pins you read and write to; the "meat" of the device security happens outside of it, and long before the data hits it.

Also I think there is some work on reverse engineering the AT commands for some PinePhone modems, which means you can install a Linux distro on the device to manage and talk to the radio. It's not the same as FDA-approved baseband firmware or anything (that wouldn't run Linux), but it's probably as close you can get for now.

I played this game a lot and loved it. It was brutal and I lost a lot of interest as it became more player friendly. Some more things to note -

You could not pass through other players so in a single person hall way you could be blocked. You could click and drag them to push but this could be counteracted by placing certain objects behind yourself (parcels for example) or another player.

You had to chat with NPCs to sell things. Hi. Sell plate armor. Yes. Yes. Things could only be sold one at a time.

Spells had to be typed out in the chat box. I do not remember if there were always hot keys, but if there were early on they did not auto cast.

Sorcerers and druids (healers) did something called mana sitting to grind up their magic level. Usually they would be making runes (stored up spell) that could be used in battle. These did not stack so you would sell backpacks full of them. Runes did not have hot keys for a long time so mages were pro at clicking them then clicking enemies or party members.

Knights (tanks) could train their melee skill by attacking monsters with a weak weapon. Basically just sitting around and chatting.

Rope, to go up holes, had to be used on a specific spot on the ground. You could pile items on this spot and block its use. This was used to trap people to be killed by players or monsters.

Luring was a big thing. You had to take these tedious walks between cities. Higher level players would lure monsters from further areas to the main path. You could bring both giant spiders and dragon lords to this path. I died a lot this way but it made travel very exciting. You could yell so it was often seen GS AR DWARF BRIDGE as you approached one of the larger barriers to monsters on the path.

The death penalty was very harsh as well. You lost like 10% (iirc) of your experience which amounted to your last level gained. Additionally, you had a 100% chance to drop your back pack slot, and a 10% chance to drop each piece of gear (helmet, weapon, shield, armor, legs, boots, ring, arrow slot). This hurt. Tears were shed.

Paladins (distance fighters) had to pick their ammo up off the ground. So they would throw a spear then have to pick it up.

To sell things you would advertise by yelling in the city you were in. The screen was always full of offers as you approached the depot in the city.

There was a game called fast hands where you tried to
move items onto a mutually accessible square and off before the other person could grab it. Many people used scripts to cheat at this.

Tibia was absolutely brutal. Guilds operated very much as gangs. Tons of pl, br, and mx players. I loved it though. It was a very big part of my childhood. I loved it because it was brutally difficult and lost interest as some of these flaws were fixed. The other game I played was early America's Army, which also had a very different pace to most fps, it was another really fun game and kinda died when they switched engines and may the play loop more traditional and faster (added respawns).

There is data piping needed between the main thread and workers, each new connection is handled to a worker as a socket descriptor, like a pointer.
You ^ have no clue.

I’m going to take it to the level above offensive tough love and just give up at this point. If you want a $5k headset to emulate a $100 1080p monitor, with a 3 hour battery life, and switches for every sensor so the secret service can’t see how messy your bedroom is, then this product is for you. Good luck
DOS serves as a good bootloader for an embedded system.
I second pandas, and would also highlight seaborn, plotly, and dash as complimentary data visualization libraries.

Tableau is fine for what it is, but I've found that the requests from stakeholders often grow to a point where you either can't do it in Tableau or have to move mountains to get it to work... so, in essence, sunk cost fallacy makes tableau millions.
The difference is that the protocol itself is also encrypted (not just the application layer). In other words middleware can’t ossify the QUIC protocol and you’re not reliant on middleware to do anything other than route UDP (which lets you do whatever you want to the protocol itself).
The only thing that changes there are the nouns, though. A "contract" is just an owner, and there are clean contracts (KYC exchanges) and dirty contracts (mixers, anonymous gateways, KidnappingRansomDAO, whatever). You can track your eth back to clean (meaning KYC compliant) sources or you can't.
I've read the whole thing patiently even though I am not sold on the format of such stories -- but it was still informative.

The only thing I thought at the end was: "yeah, the whole thing should be torn down and redone from scratch". Which of course isn't ever happening, right?
I’m not the biggest fan of Ben Evans, but he’s right on “privacy fanatism”:

> At a certain point EU privacy regulators will realise:
When an EU citizen requests a US internet resource, they provide a US server with their IP address;
An IP address is PII;
The CIA could record that;
Therefore it is illegal to provide any internet resource to anyone in the EU

As someone who recently started looking into free space optics for communication, seeing this suddenly pop up here is a bit surprising! This is the project I pointed at when my friends asked if you could do fast communications with visible light.

The project has cataloged several installations (http://ronja.twibright.com/installations.php) but I suspect there's many more that haven't been registered. I'm curious if any of these systems are still in place.

It's possible a career Soldier spent their entire time in the service somehow or other connected to this game.

It didn’t work for me either. Safari on iOS.

There's a third one: ARM doesn't allow you to license your ARM cores (of your own design) to third parties. Only ARM can do that.
I recently made a tool called Daigo. It's not as powerful as Power BI, Tableau or any OSS alternatives. But if you're looking to create a line chart or a dashboard from a SQL table or a CSV file, you may find Daigo a quick and easy solution.

It works with SQL databases and CSV file.
Since it's an offline desktop app, it's free to use and you don't need to set up a server or upload data.

This sounds like priming the Hacker News community for a follow-up submission (by a different account of course) introducing the perfect answer.
That depends. Was the US trying to take over the world when we invaded Syria? Nations will do what is in their interest. If Canada were ready to join up with China on some military pact, the US would intervene by any means necessary to prevent it.
Tibia was great in the early days. It had phenomenal player driven politics where in principle anyone could kill anyone, but in practice people had friends, and some people had really powerful friends who could make life hell for you if you bothered them. Eventually the game operators restricted the pvp system and added a formal system for having guild wars. Today I understand why they did it, but it effectively killed any interesting player driven politics.

The server I played on was pretty stable for years because it had an ultra powerful ruling guild (the Liches of Archinare on Lunara). Eventually they were their own downfall, having persecuted enough people over the years -- myself included -- that the uprising, when it came, was overwhelming. And after that came endless wars as various factions vyed to occupy the power vacuum that appeared

I learned a lot about culture and power from that game. For instance, in the early days of Lunara, pretty much nobody targeted the friends and loved ones of their opponents during wars, and the idea was highly frowned upon. But in the beginning of the uprising against LoA, I opened that door, and it became standard practice after that in all the subsequent conflicts

Another aspect I particularly enjoyed about the game was the diversity of its player base. I learned Swedish and Brazilian Portuguese and bits of Dutch and Tagalog and other languages because I always had friends to practice with there. I even picked up a bit of Papiamento
I don't know if self hosting is an option for you, but recently I deployed Trilium (https://github.com/zadam/trilium) on a personal server.

It's really easy to set up with docker and I'm amazed at the wealth of features.

I use it on desktop and mobile too without issues.

There's a bit of confusion here because there's actually 2 word lists. There's a list of ~2,300 words that are ACTUAL words that will some day be the word of the day and there's a list of 12k POSSIBLE words you can enter in

I think OP is correct about them removing ~2k of the possible words
Well, I get the point of Google not falling behind with their tech, but even most Google competitors aren't working at Google scale.

For Prometheus they could have just chosen to aim for smaller businesses, since that's 99% of businesses out here.

So it could just be a tradeoff.
Here https://github.com/mingodad/cyclone is my attempt to update the latest available cyclone code and fix it to build on more recents operating systems.

The first step is build as 32 bits as clean as possible then attempt to update to be able to also build for 64 bits.

Actually it's already working on Ubuntu 18.04 see the build here https://github.com/mingodad/cyclone/actions .

One of the main reasons to do it is to preserve for historical purposes .

There is also this other repositories that seems to try something similar:

Yes, taking it literally at the extreme case, the rule is unreasonable.

But Google Analytics is the kind of thing the Law was created to stop, it's not an unreasonable unintended effect.
You call that a hack? The reason for it was "locality", i.e. it makes it clear what dependencies a function has. Compiling faster was just a side effect.

In Sweden too among my circles Tibia was more talked about than WoW.
I think you're technically correct originally. They only removed less than two dozen from the ACTUAL word list but they did in fact remove ~2k from the list of possible words you can enter in (which is the list most players interact with)

From what (little) I understand of money markets, if Tether were to "die" (or even just "get sick" haha) at the scale it's at today, it would probably have a profound impact on even my portfolio, which doesn't even have any direct crypto or crypto-adjacent exposure. I'm not sure what assets would be safe from repercussions.
