Personally, I like Zulip way better than Slack because of how it does message threads: _channels_ that have conversations in _topics_ "makes sense" to me.

Pros: Server maintenance is blissfully minimal. Message threading that actually works. No server issues or downtime in the past 4 years. (Every time I see a HN "Slack is down" posting, I smile to myself and continue my work day...) It runs great for ~50 employees on an AWS t3a.large instance. Importing all the company's previous messages from Slack worked perfectly.

Cons: If you have people used to Slack, there will be resistance / a learning curve. Knowing, "when do I create a topic?" takes practice. The mobile and desktop apps are not as polished as Slack's. Not as many integrations as Slack. You have to know enough to manage and secure a server yourself.

The Zulip devs accept Github donations, btw, if anyone cares to support their work. (We do; no affiliation other than we're happy to have a private, self-hosted alternative.)

edits: punctuation and adding that instance was a ".large"
It sucks that the Lex podcast has maybe the best guests of any podcast out there right now and he's such a terrible interviewer. Seriously, give me this guest list with Rogan on the other side any day of the week.
Speculative theory -

- You steal a credit card.

- Buy BTC with said credit card.

- Use BTC to buy Steam cosmetics that you already own and Steam converts that BTC to USD.

You now have effectively used a stolen credit card to convert its value to cold hard cash that is not traceable, or at least requires several hoops to jump through to figure out who stole the card.
This. Sometimes holding information until things are ready is the kindest thing to do for anxious people.
I haven't met him - but I've heard Ajit Jain is insanely smart and hard working.

If I trusted Mr X, and Mr X said "hey that little startup insurance thing you want to do could be run by Mr Y who is the smartest, hardest working guy I've ever met", and I met Mr Y, and he seemed to be everything that trusted Mr X had said, and had gone to IIT, Harvard and worked at McKinsey, I'd hire him on the spot too.

Also keep in mind - Buffett wasn't the god like figure he is today then.
I always wondered why we didn't have laser drills yet, but microwave drills sound way cooler.
I think more like "someone wrote a check and there's no guarantee it won't bounce". So really, it's quite analogous to how 0conf works in practice.
I only have a layman understanding of bitcoin, and I've never used a cheque in my life, but would it not be more like "someone wrote you a cheque and there's no guarantee it won't bounce when you try to cash it in"?

Which, again maybe showing my complete lack of knowledge of cheques, is how I thought they worked in the first place.
Slava Ukrajine from Czechia! We are doing what we can to help here, please don’t stop fighting.
Given that a non-trivial percentage of Russian failure modes involve nuclear Armageddon, I don't think we'll see much cyber war on Russian infrastructure beyond the vandalism and petty mischief.

Anonymous hackers probably don't want to start ww3, and there are likely embedded agents keeping an eye on participants to prevent overreach. It's ironic to think that Russian infrastructure is being actively protected by western intelligence to carefully manage the pressures and escalation. Or maybe optimistic...

I think it's established fact that power, water, gas, and communications are fragile and subject to disruption at a moments notice more or less worldwide. Rigorous projections show 90%+ casualty rate in dense urban regions if power gets shut down during winter months. Even without nukes or bullets, cyber war could kill billions.
Another perspective: Russian society as of now is mostly an bubble. They don't have media that talks about the war their country started. Cancelling SWIFT is giving them something they cannot silence away in order to maintain the bubble.

Cancelling SWIFT would be a very clear signal to all people in Russia that their government overstepped a line. Without punlic support from the public an offensive war is way harder to pull off.

Fees are why I haven't moved my ETH after using an exchange to buy some for USD. I don't want to pay the stupidly high costs to move the ETH into a wallet that I fully control. Especially because turning that back to USD so it's actually usable in day-to-day transactions would require paying yet more fees to move the ETH back to an exchange (or to an independent buyer).
I wonder if this was really "Anonymous" (with regards to who runs the Twitter page) or a collective effort with non-affiliated individuals. Ukraine has listed websites they asked "friends of Ukraine" to try DDos including such that have been down [1]. Anonymous (again, those who run the Twitter page) seemingly lied [2] earlier about a Ministry of Defense leak which they swiftly took down the tweet of [3].

The linked article says "many commenters ... assume the Russian soldiers left their phones on ... but Lewis said that almost certainly was not the case, and the traffic data Google was showing was ordinary people who couldn’t get on the road because of Russian military movement." Which doesn't rule it out, but clearly doesn't require it to be true.

Sure... and yet I would happily spend an entire day learning about git to avoid 30 minutes cleaning: the premise that time is fungible is simply incorrect.

(Regardless: this "30 minutes" is of course an estimate, and isn't "30 minutes longer". I do demos in college classes on how to set up personal git servers--given your existing ssh and web server setup--with nothing more than a git init --bare and renaming a single default hook, and so setting up GitLab to me is definitely going to take way more time as it probably is going to require learning some new config file format and figuring out if it has some kind of database dependency and the such. But the reality is that time is NOT fungible so GitLab might be worth setting up no matter how hard it is vs. using git as intended.)
Yeah they kind of fucked that up, huh?

> The whole notion of calling a given thing unethical in modern discourse is interesting to me, because there is not just one ethics. A person could reasonably reflect on personalized advertising and ask: "what concrete harms have been done?"

Most ethical systems consider performing actions with a lack of transparency and consent to be unethical. Often even if there is a benefit to the subject.
The memory I have of that day is similar. I had an early morning class and work in the afternoon. When we left the early morning class, a friend got a call from his parent asking if he was okay. We were in a midwestern college town nowhere near in danger of being a target. Checked the news on Yahoo and all we could get at that point was that a flight flew into the World Trade Center. We thought it was a private small jet that flew off course and laughed it off. Went home, turned on the TV and saw the second plane hit.

I still think back to that day and have some guilt about our initial reaction to the first flight. Given how instantly news propagates today I assumed that back then we knew the details already and just made light of the suffering. I moved to NYC right after college and recall those early years in the city where everyone knew every little detail of the day. Your recollection assuages some of the guilt I harbor from that day.
I like the idea of iterating from imperative to functional. Here the devils advocate for your if you can do it in python you can do it in haskell: I use quite a bit of numpy, scipy and matplotlib, are there equivalent libraries for Haskell?
I spend a lot of time in Python, which has an explosion of incompatible build stories, packaging systems, etc. They use several data formats (did the world ever need toml?) and lately, they've deprecated the previously-recommended gold standard. Having a single blessed system that ships with the language is a breath of fresh air. Though, as far as I know, zig packaging is still wide open looking for solutions -- but Andy has expressed intent to pick one and support it.

> Major-General H. P. Babbage remarked that what most interested him was the contrast between arithmetical calculating- machines and these integrators. In the first there was absolute accuracy of result, and the same with all operators ; and there were mechanical means for correcting, to a certain extent, slackness of the machinery. Friction too had to be avoided. In the other instruments nearly all this was reversed, and it would seem that with the multiplication of reliable calculating machines, all except the simplest planimeters would become obsolete. [...] The author was obliged to express his disagreement with the opinion of General Babbage, that all integrators except the simplest planimeters would become obsolete and give place to arithmetical calculating machines. Continuous and discontinuous calculating machines, as they had respectively been called, had entirely different kinds of operations to perform, and there was a wide field for the employment of both. [...] No doubt the mechanical difficulties were great, but that they av ere not insuperable was proved by the daily use of the disk, globe, and cylinder of Professor James Thomson in connection with tidal calculations and meteorological work, and, indeed, this of itself was sufficient refutation of General Babbage's view.

General Babbage is none other than Charles Babbage's son [1]. He's obviously not an unbiased observer. Still, history proved him right, digital computers took over the world, while analog ones like these mechanical integrators have become historical curiosities.

Nope, these are different weapons.

The delivery was announced shortly after the approval of the dutch weapons you are talking about.

This is the translation of the tweet from Bundeskanzler Scholz announcing the change of politics [1]

"The Russian invasion marks a turning point. It is our duty to support Ukraine to the best of our ability in defending against #Putin's invading army. That is why we are supplying 1000 anti-tank weapons and 500 Stinger missiles to our friends in #Ukraine."

> In both cases - aircraft and cars - the primary goal was reducing weight.

That wikipedia article is a lot of unsourced nonsense written by complete idiots who clearly lack subject-area knowledge

The goal for drive-by-wire in cars was primarily emissions reduction. Many cars "smooth" throttle inputs to improve mileage and emissions. In some cars "eco" mode exaggerates that smoothing, or changes the mapping of the throttle to allow for much more control over a lower portion of the throttle range. In others, "drive" is smoothed, and "sport" mode is not (unfortunately "sport" mode often makes the transmission far too aggressive.)

It brings mechanical simplicity, because cruise control can be integrated in.

Drive by wire throttles were notoriously unreliable for almost a decade after their introduction. They get gummed up, the actuators fail, the position sensors fail, etc. It's a laugh that the article claims they're "easier to service" - they're usually buried in difficult-to-access places and there's nothing "serviceable" about them compared to a true mechanical throttle that can usually be completely rebuilt.
Sorry I didn't mean to suggest that its design took inspiration from the kernel. but adjacent features like Kconfig it does.

"The traffic jam slowly extended to the border, where it then disappeared."
We had a public channel for our team and invited people to join it to watch our work. And then we got a private channel as well... and all our work and conversations moved to the private channel. Now the public channel is crickets and the other teams don't know what we're doing. I can actually feel a sort of tension now, like the outside teams don't feel as connected to us. They don't have the opportunity to ask questions about what we're working on, see what our other tasks are, or start discussions on related subjects. It sucks. I don't want privacy or secrecy, I want us to all feel we can talk about anything together.

Why not? The Unabomber Manifesto is freely available, and I would not want it censored by private parties.

If anyone should decide that "this content constitutes a dangerous incitement to murder and cannot be allowed to stay online", it should be a duly appointed court, not some random Facebook employees or contractors.
What do you mean "let go"? Zephyr is supported by both Intel and linaro/arm.

I wonder about the BOM cost of Intel vs arm though, in € per "performance"? Or what else is the root cause of Intel not getting a foothold in bedded?
Save even more by working remotely from Lisbon through the winter! I haven't used a single heat source besides my electric blanket (approx. 500 Watt-hour/day) all year. And my house has poor insulation and bad sun exposure to boot. I spent the whole afternoon at the beach last Wednesday, it was so warm outside.

The only risk is you might not want to go back home for spring.
I've lived like that for years. This really doesn't bother me.

This is the most clear case of first world problems that I can think of. Places like hospitals and so on is a different matter.
Hard to reason from world-famous anecdotes. They could also just have supremely healthy genetics, thus explaining why they’re able and willing to work very hard far beyond the normal retirement age. You’d need large studies to learn more.
Indeed, all descriptions of how big space is can be followed by, "and the most interesting part is right outside your window, and in your own body and mind". As far as we know at least.

I think of the words at the end of Battlestar Galactica, "so much life". As far as we know, there are entire galaxies where the most exciting and interesting thing you could hope to find is some crystals. Then I look around our planet and can hardly see a square inch that isn't covered in life.

I may never travel to other planets, and will certainly never go to another galaxy, but at least I'm here, in the most interesting part of the universe.
I doubt it. Here's an upper bound:

If the penalty was infinite, then they'd simply air-gap patient (or victim DNA) information systems, and have patients own / transfer their own medical records between providers (perhaps on DVD's, because USB is a very broad protocol).

The cost of that would he rounding error vs. other inefficiencies in the US healthcare system.
Some stocks have no expected cash flows, some cryptocurrencies have expected cash flows. You can't generalize entire asset classes like that.

This kind of totally open, real-time flow of information is great until it's not. It can easily turn into an unstructured free-for-all on whichever channel everyone is on as a substitute for more effective communication, decision-making and documentation. It can also easily become a vehicle for one or more lurking manager types who simply have to know everything all the time, whether or not that brings any actual benefit to the team. Both of these scenarios tend to be toxic to productivity and eventually team morale. Unfortunately with the recent emphasis on remote working that a lot of organisations weren't used to and everyone adopting Teams/Slack/whatever both of these scenarios also seem to happen quite often.
How does a coup in literally another country justify invading it? (Add: sorry, I should not have phrased it so sharply since you state it as an uneducated perspective.)
We’ve struggled with that in the past as well, but it got better over time. One thing that helps is to aggressively start moving messages to new topics once things go beyond a few in a general topic.
> "In terms of the display, the Nokia PureBook Pro boasts a Full HD (1920×1080) resolution, to ensure you get a sharp picture which isn’t a guarantee at this price point."

What does that even mean?
23% ish.

It's not naive. Going to "pure" building science (I studied this in uni) the formula for the building heat loss is Q=U.A.dT where dT is the temperature difference between indoors and the outdoors.

If you assume that outdoors is 5°C on average in year, and indoors is 21°C, dT is 16. reducing the indoor temp to 18°C puts the dT at 13.

Since everything else stays the same, you'd expect a 23% decrease in heat loss (Q). And that much less energy need to be replenished.

In the real world buildings are more complicated than that. Also you may risk giving more people diseases and reduce cognitive abilities when things get cold. So perhaps also tell the public to dress warmer and drink more hot fluids.
Russian soldiers flirted with Ukrainian women on Tinder right before the invasion. Either they have no shame whatsoever, or they actually thought they would be welcomed as saviours, as so many soldiers been told before.

Spike in use of Signal in Ukraine in the last 24 hours
Sounds like this could easily be subject to countermeasures. If 1000 Ukrainian volunteers sign up and point to wrong places, then Russia can potentially waste hundreds of missiles to bomb hay fields.
Not untrue. If you're quick to get in and time your exit right, you can make some seriously good money. Basically leveraging someone else's scam to scam people yourself.
it is not illegal or unethical to be a Russian; that means doing things that people do, like publish papers or try to be influential to other thinking people. Vilification of an opponent is yet another ugly aspect of this man-made disaster occurring now.
You are right, this tech would cause the core to lose temperature at a slightly higher rate than otherwise. At the moment the earths core is cooling at the rate of 0.1 °C per million years from the current temperature of about 5,100 °C, interspersed with periods where the temperature loss is stopped or reversed because of gravity forces [0]. But any conceivable number of deep geothermic wells would not affect that rate in any measurable way.

I've recently sunk a lot of time into Slay the Spire. It's a deck-building rougelike that's fairly simple to get into but has a lot of depth. No two runs are the same and once you start learning how enemies attack you can plan your moves more strategically. I'm not the fastest, my runs take at least an hour, but I'm slowly getting better. Third most-played game of mine, after Rocket League and Fallout 3.
That kind of damage would
not be caused by an AA missile.

Not only is it small (like you pointed out) AA missiles also tend to focus on fragmentation damage (expanding metal rings, directed frag etc).

Source: I used to be an explosives expert in the military.

Edit: Completely forgot to mention fuzing systems. This missile detonated on contact with the building. I have yet to come across an AA missile that detonates on contact with an object. All (effective) AA missiles use proximity sensors (radar, thermal, etc) to detonate near their target.

Also, if it was a misfire, most modern missiles have fail safes that disable the detonation of the main charge in case of an accidental firing.

Again, I could be wrong and this could be an AA missile, but all signs point to no; it isn’t.
Indeed. I was in high school watching CNN live at the time the second plane struck. There was tremendous uncertainty about what had happened. I thought for sure it had been egregious pilot error.

We watched as the second plane ran right into the tower. At that moment we started realizing that it was intentional. But even then, the uncertainty about who would do that to us and why, was really worse than before.

This event really changed my entire life. Prior to this I had plans to finish my automotive tech trade school program. Within the next few days watching the footage of people leaping to their deaths in preference to burning alive, and as more and more information trickled in about who was responsible for the attack, I decided I needed to join the military to help ensure that nothing like this ever happened again. My life would have played out a whole lot differently if not for this.
This is a dumb, snarky comment that is a good example of why people have been complaining about the quality of HN posts.

The GHOTI example is rather contrived as it ignores so much context. For instance, you're claiming that "ti" can be pronounced "sh" on the basis of the pronunciation of the Latin-derived suffix "-tion," but in fact "ti" would never, ever be pronounced that way at the end of a word. Same with silent "gh" at the beginning of a word.
