I have been a happy paying Zoho customer for years. $4/month, and I have a dozen domain names setup and tons of aliases and catchalls.

If you have a problem, customer service is responsive and helpful… actual humans.
With the latest changes to Win11, it sounds like they're trying to move to a paid subscription model. Thus all the hardware lockdown. So I would expect more versions in an attempt to accelerate the progression.
Ubiquitous, eh? Definitely not in consumer space. The RTL8125 that came on my PC doesn't support it. I added an Intel I210 which does support it, after trying an Intel I225 which claims to support it but has a broken implementation.
Say you're building an enterprise SaaS, and several of your VIP customers ask for a button to "Export this table into Excel for offline analysis". These customers are paying >$100k p.a., and not threatening to leave or anything, but it's a feature you think would be valuable for the core product. You ask a developer to build this, and they ask, "How long can I spend on this before we're losing money?". There are several ways to answer, but few are polite. While every business has some prioritization matrix/process, rigorously estimating the "marginal revenue" for each movement in the dance would add friction and internal transaction costs that make the business not viable.
Zoning in the netherlands is nowhere as onerous as it is in America.
For large populations, the average is not a very informative quantity. Sigma is, and it's far larger than 'common wisdom' implies.
There have certainly been posts on HN of people losing access to their actual accounts.
I think what you're missing is that instead of providing the convenience behavior you're looking for, a more powerful primitive is available. Any other package manager has a bloated song and dance where if you want to install something not in the official repo, you either:

- download and install it manually
- add a new third-party repository and install it from there.

Then, whenever you perform a distro upgrade, you have to repeat the entire process because the repo has changed, subtly.

Instead, nix eschews this concept by allowing you to install whatever you want. Imagine running Ubuntu 18.04 and wanting to install a package from Ubuntu 20.10. Have fun with that! Nix not only makes it possible, it makes it as easy as installing anything else.

I now consider "foo install ripgrep" a mistake and an anti-pattern. I now find those tools annoying to use. Could nix be better? Certainly, but you're really giving me a "it's different so I hate it" vibe. Give it a chance.
That is kind of evident. I wonder, though, when you get the most value by increasing quantity (e.g. of iterations on a feature) and how far you should push (even yourself, not just others).

I feel like Windows has been like this for 20 years at least. Windows 2000 & XP would auto-run executables on whatever CD or USB drive you plugged in (good luck). Windows XP had auto-updates. Vista started downloading/updating drivers automatically. The registry has always been a train wreck. Even the ads aren’t a particularly fresh hell. I remember games minimizing from full screen so Windows XP could show me nag notifications about MSN Messenger.

Edit: and the solution for these problems is also the same, for the last 20 years: build your own install media using enterprise tools, slipstream in all the updates and drivers you like, and disable all the crapware, insecure defaults, etc. I was very proud of my custom Windows XP distro as a high schooler (complete with custom Steam-like system theme).
I think what you're saying is that we need to invest in infrastructure to support our growing population, which is not a controversial statement.

Please forgive me, but you seem to indicate that the quality of life in Canada is falling and that immigration is the cause. Does this mean that you believe that you yourself reduced the quality of life in Canada for Canadians?

I for one don't agree with this. One simple reason is that I don't buy the premise.

I'm not aware of any evidence that the quality of life of Canadians is degrading in any way that correlates with immigration, and certainly not aware of any causative explanations. Here are a couple of (totally imperfect) financial metrics for purchasing power and Gini coefficients that seem stable.

My grandparents immigrated from Italy, and so I'm (at least historically speaking) recent product of immigration. I don't feel right making the argument that, up until my grandparents came here, immigration was OK, but afterwards, we should have shut the door. Feels a bit too convenient of an argument, especially when, generations later, their offspring (hi!) are occupying many of the medical services and infrastructure you say are crowded.

I remember when Toronto was suffocating because of garbage removal workers strike. More than that when we finally started to bring garbage to commercial dumping sites those were blocked by strikers and they would allow only few people per hour to make huge line ups. IANAL but this looked like mischief to me. And when people out of frustration had started throwing garbage bags in front of the site bylaw officers were right there issuing big fines.

More than that, I tried to talk to strikers and they were fucking boozed up to their gills. That is despite laws against public intoxication.

Police were ignoring all of this. So the government was totally fine with strikers "disturbing the peace". From what I see they're very selective on what to enforce and when.
That's the theory of shareholder capitalism, but in practice there are modern cultural pressures that dislocate profit motive from behavior.

Primarily agency conflict of interest between employees who believe strongly in social justice (as one example) and the employer's profit motive. Said employees create significant social peer pressures inside the org's culture, for example organizing walkouts based on their principles, which forces the hand of the execs. Execs are scared of the employees and prefer to cede to the new culture rather than challenge it and face their two minutes of hate. These are all just people following their private incentives and beliefs at the expense of the employer's profit motive.

A concrete example of this is when tech company employees protest their employer's contracts with the army. That works against the exec's judgment of what is profitable.

Now, this only happens when there is true ideological conviction. Otherwise the profit motive rules the day.
Dunning-Kruger much? :P Lots of academic fields look like gibberish to a lay audience. (I suspect GPT could pass a Turing test, of showing real and fake academic papers to those outside the relevant disciplines.)
I done that. I deleted items from the backlog that i thought make no sense (anymore), nobody cared or asked any questions. If you didn't work on it for the last 18 months, it's probably not important and nobody cares.
It all depends on your actual passport.

Turkey: super easy! rent an apartment (one year contract) and get their "touristic visa" (ikamet https://e-ikamet.goc.gov.tr/ ) which last two years, and is a visa that let you be "resident" there while keeping your resident wherever it is (where you pay taxes). If you are a sailor, a one year contract in a marina (any size of boat) will let you have 2 year touristic residency.

as for Europe you could stay up to 6 months, then a French (idiot) administration started a fight with a romenian citizen and ... the result is that now if you stay 3 months, then you have to stay 3 months out (the EU, another smelly group of bureaucrats unable to write a clear law and scared of losing votes, confirmed)... anyhow, let's do not touch the issue, or I get so mad and embarrassed of it.

so... europe, you can go there as a tourist: of couse you will do your remote job, and nobody will care.

you mention money: ahahah, big solution, even if you come from the poorest/most terrorist country in the world:

1. you either have no money, so, in that case, you have to cross the med in a shitty boat, pay a lot of $$$ to human traffiker, so sure risk your life... just to realize it will take you 10 years to be able to have a decent living (if you make it), or

2. just pay and (legally) get our EU passport: YES it is so easy: you can get the passport just by paying for it: it sound and it is hypocritical but this is the simple truth: and it is not just Malta, search yourself.

Let me add, just to be clear, that this whole EU fortress if a monument to hypocrisy: of course it is not easy to just open borders (since of course we, european, want to keep being the privileged taking advantage of all the poors in the world, while wearing a tie or a smoking, or a Cristian priest dress) but you cannot really put together the "no border" model of the internet, and the stupid 3 months only visa a relative of yours (or even your wife) is obliged to respect.

respect my ass!
Fastmail. And you can use your own domain, which you own, rather than a domain someone else owns.
Not just work - there is real life too. Try an 8 hour day book-ended by several hours of childcare. You start at 6am then it is go-go-go with kids-work-kids until 8-9pm. There is not time to then fit in a grocery shop (plus are you going to leave kids alone in the house asleep while you hit the shops?) then cooking.
>While at Thule, it’s recommended that you walk on the left side of the road facing oncoming traffic. Although contrary to stateside standards, this will enable you to watch for vehicles and to get out of the way should they not see you.

I have always found this to make extremely good sense, but I see quite few doing it besides me.
Im using mailbox.org right now, which costs 1€ per month. Only went down once in three years for about 30 minutes. No other issues so far (except that the webdav path is insanely long when using webdav for stuff like keepass).

Static vs. Dynamic Websites: Which Is Better for SEO?
Sadly DDG sometimes doesn’t work for very specific searches too. I have DDG as my default search in all browsers, but find myself typing !g too often.

For example, today I searched for “Salzstiegl ski club”. Not even on the first page in DDG, but the first result for Google. It makes me sad.
> This article is a bit difficult to understand; there's a mixture of actual money laundering with the non-crime of "a really bad person has a bank account". There's a difficult and IMO increasingly urgent question here, of whether the banking system is a utility or something else. There's no whistleblowers from the electricity company, even though it literally kept the lights on for murderers and traffickers. Nobody gets sentenced to "and you are not allowed a bank account for the rest of your life". If a criminal hasn't had their whole wealth confiscated as proceeds of crime by the courts, is the convention now that nonetheless they should be deprived of the ability to use them? Maybe. I really don't know the answer in some hard cases. But it feels like if the banking system is going to be part of the law enforcement system, that needs to be established through actual laws passed through the parliament. As far as I can see there are some charges of actual complicity in the article, but it's hard to separate them from "this bad person was a client".

I wonder if uranium glass would work for this as well. I can't find the link now, but I remember reading years ago about someone's DIY UV imager where they used something like that as a fluorescent screen photon converter so a conventional detector or film could capture the image. Maybe the material used here is more efficient, though, and hopefully less radioactive.

Not the original poster but: Your service costs money to run. You're not, so far as I can tell, a recognized non-profit doing this out of the goodness of your heart. Given that you're not running ads, all the monetization angles are yucky.

The search query stream of your site alone is immediately monetizable for targeting by "legitimate businesses" who sell "reputation management services." (People who expect to find records are searching for their own names. People who suspect others might have records are searching for those names. Source: see every second comment on this topic) Notably, nothing in your terms suggests this isn't already your business model - you don't need to collect or retain personal information about the visitors to your site to monetize the search query stream. In fact, it's probably "better" not to collect PII, because then you can claim that the search queries are "just strings the visitor provided voluntarily" and that you have no idea whose names those are.

Also: your dataset is littered with records that are properly under seal, including juvenile records. You are NOT relieved of potential liability for disseminating these just because they're included in your dragnet, should they be found through your service and used in a way that causes actual damages.

I'd strongly caution anyone against using this site at all, much less searching names. This site is plausably an input to an extortion machine at scale.

The ironic part is that the state trying to impose consequences are usually part of the tension. The more aggressive that the state responds, the more tension is created. And that eventually leads to change.

I think that viewing it as "quantity" focuses on the wrong thing. What you want to maximise is opportunities for feedback.

A trie will already run-length encode all the first letters into 26*5=130 bits pre-Huffman coding. I doubt RLE will beat that. A trie will in essence RLE every level but without needing to track the length of the run, so I suspect it'll outperform RLE at every level.

If you have a means of doing RLE that performs otherwise, I'd love to understand how it works.

FYI, turning it into 12972 by 5 and Brotli compressing achieves 15,093 bytes, which is less than if you first turn the data into an ASCII trie then Brotli compress that (14,180 bytes) (Source: https://github.com/adamcw/wordle-trie-packing#all-words).
Interesting, could you elaborate? Is there anyone in particular they could have in mind complaining like that?
These are actually older than delivery foods - twenty years ago I worked at a hotel where the "cheap" restaurant and the "very fancy" restaurant had the same kitchen/cooks.

The food offered was mostly different but you certainly could order the exact same meal at the fancy restaurant for almost double the cheaper one.
HN has fallen into a bit of a rut on a few topics lately, e.g:

- macOS “failing” and Linux on the desktop

- Mozilla and Firefox death spiral

- Electron and yearning for native applications

- And the aforementioned topic here

That said, for the most part it’s really only one at a time on the front page so it’s easy to skip if you wanted to.

As to why this phenomenon exists, I dunno. Reddit has the same problem, though I think it’s more pronounced there due to scale.
Taking some time off makes for a good reset. Go spend time in a forest.
An online dictionary is (IMHO) something else, different from a "real", paper one.

I use maybe 95% of the times an online one (as I need it while reading online), as it is fast, handy and what not, but flipping the pages, interrupting/delaying the search because while flipping you spotted an unusual word that you want to look at, seeing which words are right before and right after the one you were looking for, to me remains a pleasure.

I would also say that the online/digital one while definitely faster and more efficient if you want to look at a given word is somehow less "persistent", I mean (not being a native English speaker) that for some reasons when I learn a new word and look for it online I tend to forget it sooner then when I am reading a (paper) book, find a new word and look it on the (paper) dictionary, maybe it is just me or it is the increased time needed to get up, get the dictionary, look for the word, but I tend to better retain it.
I don’t think many are happy writing that much bash. I certainly wouldn’t be! I think this problem is completely solved by other languages though.

Bash is popular because it’s available (nearly) everywhere, is very portable, and has a massive “standard library.” (Technically, not a standard library, but you can basically guarantee that things like sed, curl, rsync etc. will be available or easy to get anywhere.) And its constructs are very well fitted to smaller scripts and automations.

You loose those benefits with a compilation step. Nearly all the scripts I interact with are just smaller automations put into a “bin” folder in the repo. These scripts are used for the build steps of other programs. So what would you write for automations related to building a compiled bash project? Probably bash lol

If you’re writing thousands of lines, you can just use any other language, right? Pretty much any other scripting language can execute commands in bash anyways. To my knowledge, stepping into a different language once you need more refined flow control and data structures is pretty normal. Afaik many languages can either produce output which can be run directly on the CLI (rust, C++, C), and others can be executed if you have the language runtime installed (JS via node, python, etc.)

What We Lose When We Lose Literary Magazines
Wow! Let me continue :)

- Text-to-speech and vice versa, using cloud APIs.
- creating a solid objects from 3D models (3d printing)
- messaging: pub/sub, message buses (kafka, redis, postgresql channels, rabbitmq etc)
- advanced data structures are more available (sets/hashes/etc now in standard libraries of any language, and in many databases)

Things that surprisingly still a pain:
- scanning documents preserving formatting (there are niche solutions but they are too expensive for a person who needs it a couple times a year)
I write native MVC, using Swift, UIKit/AppKit/WatchKit, and storyboards (I'll get around to SwiftUI, but it's not a hurry).

If you do that, the template is basically a functional app, and you really just need to tweak the storyboard, and supply any ViewControllers. Most of the time spent, is in Adobe Illustrator, generating graphic assets.

Most of my test harnesses are simple, 1-screen apps (with a couple of significant variations). I did, however, use the test harness apps for my BlueThoth library[0], as the starting points for the various Blue Van Clef apps[1] (Bluetooth browser apps for all Apple platforms -yes, you can use your Apple Watch or AppleTV to sniff BLE).

I also have a lot of published modules[2] that help mitigate a lot of the “niggles,” involved in app development. That probably helps a ton.

To be fair, if I am actually shipping an app, as opposed to just using it as a test harness, I spend a lot more time on it, than a couple of hours. I've been working on the app I'm currently developing, for over a year and a half.

Namecheap supports webmail on their mail accounts that come with their domains. It's cheap (approx $10-$20/yr) and at privateemail.com. Private whois and unlimited "catchall" addresses for spam isolation included. It's good and reliable, though I prefer Thunderbird to access it from my computer.
I say this grudgingly, you need ambition. You need your performance tied to your promotions or a reputation for being a master. If you're already comfortable, then you have no real incentive to try hard.

I have a job I hate, that is stressful, and ranked me as a low performer last year (historically been ha high performers). The company has screwed me over a bunch of times, so I see my effort as being wasted or unrewarded. Why should I try? I don't even make the US median dev salary. I don't think anywhere else would be better. So I'm in a similar boat as you - looking for distractions and excuses to be lazy.
I’m too young to know from my own experience but from what I’ve heard early 2000s.

Assumption Made: US, and NOT ICD10 Dataset.

Most likely it would actually cost you, at lot of the pricing data from different insurance companies in the US, is proprietary, and basically have to pay or have some sort of agreement with the insurance company (This can be anything from service restrictions, to paying for training) to publish the data in any way shape or form. Even then with program/systems with that purchasing companies are more interesting in companies that can keep the data updated, which often has changes monthly, and the structure can widely varying depending even practice type... Therapies codes/prices have a lot more modifiers than say a general physicians off who orders blood work and bills for usually only one/two types of appointments and doesn't have things like setting "Group, Clinical, Natural (For Therapies as example)"
