Yeah, it feels strange to have these images.
There are already discussions to change them in Ukrainian community because it's not really connected to what organization do.

People from Ukraine IT community don't care because they got all the information about the organization without language barriers, but this images seems to be a problem from the outside perspective as this is the first thing that people would notice.

Anyway, thank you for your feedback (I'm not from the organization, I know a few people who help there)
> Did you use a regex to verify the data looks like a uuid before putting it into the database? Is your database (like sqlite) using a case sensitive collation for the column? Then you have a problem.

yeah, it seems like the premise is flawed. I don't know that there's actually a problem here.
There is also a history way of using religion as a pretext to discriminate against people. I know plenty of Muslims who don’t harbor any negative views of homosexuality, for instance; it’s certainly not a required tenet. And if we’re discussing this in moral rather than legal terms, I actually do think the customer’s viewpoint is the only one that matters.
You are back justifying a linear reality of "only upward".

I've never really understood this line of thinking. Of course in retrospect now that all information is known, we can linearly quantify a per year rate of return as "non ideal".

But what is the point of that I wonder. This company took a chance on OP and they feel gratitude. This is enough imo.
Letting people make mistakes is a charitable thing to do if you're in a good environment.

It's also a tactical thing to do in an adverse one. Understanding the balance of those two will help you gamify your own value more.

In my opinion, employers need to do more to significantly reward existing employees they want to retain. Right now, I can see how frustrating it could be for tenured employees when new hires come in with (quite a bit) higher comp packages than them, while they get a measly pay bump in accordance with inflation (sometimes even less).

Routinely see 100% increases in total compensation for switching jobs. But I’ve never seen a 100% increase made internally even for a great performer on a team. Hoping we'll start to see change here, and that we see better designed incentives to keep people around. If you don't reward your employees, you're creating the revolving door for them to keep hopping around.
I wonder what they achieved with this? Slave is a pretty good word if I know that I have an a and an e in those positions.

> After not having cable for 10+ years broadcast news

You mean cable news right? Broadcast news preceded cable news, when you got your news at 6PM during the prime time news slot or at 11PM during the late night news slot, and was broadcast over radio/TV waves rather than cabled into your house.
Indeed, arithmetic errors are what NaN was invented for. It still works, and is fast.

I really don't mind the brevity, but the quality and correctness from that guide seems rather lacking, a few examples:

`apt update` refreshes the package index, but does no upgrade; so `apt update <package>` just fails with a usage error. Use `apt upgrade` for upgrading, or to allow dependency resolution to remove installed packages, which is relevant for upgrades between major releases, use `apt full-upgrade`.

`apt list` lists all pacakages known to apt, not only local ones; if you want locally installed ones use `apt list --installed`, e.g.:

$ apt list | wc -l
59316
$ apt list --installed | wc
426

`ip show link` just isn't a thing and will only get you `Object "show" is unknown, try "ip help".`.

Rather I'd recommend adding `alias ip="ip -c"` to your `.bashrc` or `.zshrc` to always get color output, that makes things much easier to read and then either use `ip a` or for a brief output that's very easy to read quickly `ip -br a`. If you want all details and statistics about bytes send/received and packets accepted/dropped use `ip -s -s a`
(`a` is short for `addr` or `address`).

Mixes rsyslog and journald.

The "Shell Tips and Tricks" section could really do with a short sentence or a few keywords besides the tools.

It seems to be an open book, so maybe I can contribute some fixes; but with that many errors in such a short text I'd not share that guide currently to anyone.

Australia is ruled by Capitalists, so its simply how they reinforce there own monopoly. Aussies have no garentees to anything but as long as the general public allow themselves to be placated by reno shows, sports, and relgious blinkering, nothing will change.

As long as you dig up, grow, export, drill, suck, and offer a politican a job in cushy position for retirement, your set.

For everyone else its to the dogs.
FWIW, I enjoyed your humor.
Oh I was so important, me too, I am very important and we were visionaries solving very important problems that impact millions. It turned out it was very important but it didn't seem that way in retrospect. I'm also very important but also work very well with buzzwords in a way that says absolutely nothing, except that I'm important but we totally didn't know it at the time. None of us wrote a line of code but we were nonetheless very important, and, more importantly, we're even more important now.
Absolutely true. Hard truth for some but tenure at a big company working in some internal framework is often next to useless at another company with a different tech stack (thinking in a custom C++ library framework instead of thinking in well known open source frameworks). Some skills carry over (especially soft skills that are so often under-invested in by engineers), but some just don't.
In a lot of cases companies don't seem to value the long tenure and move compensation inline with worth to them. The end result is a lot of people leave because companies don't value them and they have to move to maintain career and compensation progression.

I've really been enjoying Quordle. When I first saw it I thought it was just another clone with an interesting gimmick, but something about it just works so well, it's really fun to play. Going back to the original Wordle almost seems boring afterwards.
As a counterpoint, most living in a given system rarely notice even significant changes when they happen gradually over months and years. Being removed from a place cuts you off from being a part of that, when you return all the changes will hit you at once full force. But someone who never left will just shrug their shoulders and go "haven't you heard?". It can't seem so strange to them because they've been conditioned into it, it's become normal.

I hear similar stories from people who move abroad and return, I wouldn't simply dismiss them.
Democrats Reintroduce Bill to Eliminate New Sports Stadiums' Tax Subsidies
Job hoping for more money is not universal anyway, and in some markets even in computing, one should be happy to have a job at all.
There's a couple of different problems here - but both really are related to the question of aligning incentives.

In terms of PR departments, the point is most journalists - for their own long term career/reputations - would prefer to outline both sides of view or at least response quotations for their stories to create an appearance of impartiality. However, when working on deadlines, they won't go out of the way or jump over hoops to do so. The PR department simplifies this massively working towards journalist's incentives and minimizes negative stories & negativity of stories that get put out. Musk seems to be a control freak in that he seems to be unable to delegate PR but the trade-off is he can't personally influence every story.

In terms of the Government piece, the Democratic party has always had a core of unions & worker rights underlying the core base. Musk tweets and Tesla stories have portrayed him been openly hostile & contemptuous of this space and seemingly without anyone to gainsay him, there's no one to bridge. So is it any surprise Tesla gets ignored?

Make no mistake - EV is rapidly becoming commoditized. With full-self driving no were near the horizon for anyone in terms of production, margins are going to shrink as there becomes very little to differentiate products and these mis-steps can risk the business.
> If it was such a cut and dry, disingenuous case then the supreme court would not have agreed to hear it.

I don't understand this comment? Nothing in the law is fixed. I just find this current angle of attack really disheartening and insincere, but the law is about making a persuasive case to the appropriate audience, at the appropriate time. The Court hears lots of things that I'd argue it has no business in hearing, but that is its prerogative and what it chooses to hear depends on the the makeup of the Court at the time the case is presented.

This case is a vehicle for the Alliance Defending Freedom to use to further their goals because they believe the Court will rule in a way that is sympathetic to their cause. This is not an opinion. This is a fact. I'm not judging them for doing that, it's the nature of the game. The legal argument they're making for it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

> It wouldn't have even made it to the supreme court if it was plainly rehashing old cases.

The SCOTUS is 9 people in a conference room deciding what cases to hear. Of course, it's not _that_ simplistic, but there isn't some state machine here that determines ripeness, mootness, etc. Everyone in the court ascribes to a different jurisprudence (e.g. not everyone in the Court believes in stare decisis, not everyone cares for originalism, etc) and everyone has different motivations. Cases are selected in the pursuit of those goals by whatever happens to be the majority.

I personally dislike the increasing use of the Court to answer what are ultimately political questions. It erodes the legitimacy of the Court and causes it to inherently appear more partisan as it takes on divisive cases.
Management often likes treating software engineers as being replaceable, not accounting for the lost experience they now have to build up from scratch.

Ask HN: Are there legal limits for filename extensions for proprietary software?
I wanted to create a file format for describing nests of files for ease of access with my application. I discovered the extension I thought of to go with my naming scheme was in use by a megacorporation for one of their many pieces of software. What liability would I face for using this file extension, and would it be better to adjust it than attempt to solve any future conflicts?

> that is in no way substantively different than addiction

Yes, I agree with the article's multiple comparison's to addition.

Eg, quoting it: "Like any addiction, crypto can offer people an escape from the world and a short-term dopamine hit at the expense of everything else in their life."

> is pretty much a _practically_ useless sentiment

Which is why I said "and get help in recognizing and avoiding the path that brought them there in the first place".

Eg, again quoting the article: "Experts like Peter Klein, a cognitive behavioural psychotherapist who offers CBT for cryptocurrency-related mental health issues,"

> If your dog dies, is it acceptable to grieve?

Yes. But if you're still grieving a year later, at 'the expense of everything else in [your] life' then it's a problem.

> Shouldn't you take a Xanax and go back to work?

Xanax is a prescription drug. Acquiring it legally means that you've gotten some help.

I don't think CBT is as useful for the case you described, but that's a wild-ass guess on my part.

> If we can simply say it isn't acceptable...what good does that do?

I don't know. I didn't say that.

Clearly we see approaches towards gambling addition more than "you get what you deserve", so I really don't see your underlying point.
Ask HN: Cheaper Alternatives for Landing Page?
I am looking to setup a landing page for a book I'm writing. The goal of the page is mainly to pitch the book, collect emails and direct people to purchase the e-book, the print book when it's available, and to link to my profile on other social media.

I am a backend engineer with very limited frontend skills so I'd prefer to just pay for something that is simple to set up and, ideally, can handle collecting the emails and managing the list (or at least make it easy to integrate with something like MailChimp).

Looking at pricing for starter plans for products that offer this service, I'm surprised to see how expensive they are. Unbounce is $90, SmartPages is $60, etc.

Are there cheaper alternatives? Is my best to do what I can to roll my own, perhaps using a preexisting landing page then and integrating the email capture myself?

I don't want to get too bogged down on setting this up myself as I prefer to focus on writing the book and I'm weary of spending a bunch of time trying to create this myself, only to have it end up not looking very good on account of my weak design and frontend skills.

Any suggestions on the best route to take? Thanks.
Flash "for animations" still exists. It was rebranded Adobe Animate (presumably just to avoid the negative branding).

It's still used heavily for vector animations to my knowledge.
One can mine Bitcoin on an IBM 1401 [1] from 63 years ago. Runs at 50 kHz and there are no binary operations so you have to simulate XOR using a subroutine operating on strings to represent bitstrings. Slow. As in seconds per hash not hashes per second. But it works!

Still. I am inclined to call that "impractical". In the same way softfloat-in-JS miners are impractical. A vast botnet of such might buy a coffee after a year or two.

At a certain point, slow enough turns into impractical, and then practically impossible.

There is a joke in China that a foreigner calls the hotel desk to tell him his TV is broken, it is stuck on the same channel. “No sir, it’s just the 7PM national news, which is required to be broadcast on every channel right now.”
Myself, _superironic_
Yes I think so. Current news gives you a sense of what mainstream culture considers important this year, then you compare it with what you observed in previous years. It's common for there to be a common cultural trend or debate that is hammered non-stop in mainstream media, you won't have to breathlessly follow news (ie. you just don't have to quit the news entirely, casual check-ins are fine) because it'll be breathlessly reported. That's what you watch for and you watch the conversation change from year to year.

More importantly, news gives you a mainstream perspective beyond typically dry work conversation or your highly selective filter bubble of personal relationships. What's acceptable to say amongst friends is not necessarily the same as what's acceptable in the mainstream.

You don't want to be the CEO who lost his job in the span of a couple of days because he didn't realize that anti-abortion stances are no longer publicly acceptable in the creative mainstream [1]. Poor guy probably had friends and family who didn't have any problems with his views.

There is huge difference. Google makes it's harder and more user-hostile to install APKs from 3rd-party sources. They also create vendor lock-in ecosystem where half of Android features are only available when using Google Play Services that might not work unless you use Google Play.

On other hand Steam is just a software that works across multiple OS.
i agree, but let me play the devil's advocate and argue that revolving doors might also play out well for the business.

The biggest fear (or risk?) a business owner might have is to be held hostage by a employee whose function/knowledge/skill is essential for business continuity. This gives the employee undue leverage, which lowers the profits, and allows said employee to extract close to 100% of the value they produce.

Therefore, a business would actually prefer a set of replaceable cogs rather than irreplaceable (but higher performing) employees. The business process could be adjusted so that the downsides of replaceable cogs is mitigated - such as strict processes or procedures and docs, or rely on technology that is can be easily hired for, rather than niche tech that would require finding a particular engineer with such knowledge of the niche tech (even if such niche tech is more productive!).

And this leads to the situation where employees' pay are market rate, but only at the time of hiring. Old employees, even tho they are experienced in the business's particular domain, aren't valued higher than a new hire.

>The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.

As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English".

In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.

There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.

> So rich people should be allowed to say whatever they want? That's a hot take.

I don't think it is limited to rich people, but yes, that's how freedom of speech works. If you're not committing fraud, say by yelling fire in a crowded building, you do have the right to say whatever you want. Freedom of speech is meaningless unless you get to say things that others don't want you to say.

Plenty of less wealthy folks are drawing the same analogy on Twitter. Currently #BlackFacedHitler is one of the top trending hashtags in the world.
