It's a hard topic. My team mostly does experiments, A/B tests on new merchants to see what nudges leads to better results overall. The reality is we have a lot of ideas and we're trying to get data to figure out those answers. But we don't truly know yet.

The hard part (as far as I can tell) is product market fit and finding your customer base. Once that's established, you have some momentum, leading to repeat customers and lower acquisition costs. IE: once an ad network has some existing customers to build a model on, it's cheaper to target ads on similar customers.

But that initial part is very hard. New privacy rules, like Apple's changes, are a good thing generally, but they make it more expensive for small businesses to acquire initial customers because ads are less effective, so you have to pay for more of them to find your customers. That gives Amazon (and other established competition) a massive advantage. They know everyone deeply and can target everywhere very precisely.

I've heard that the Shopify subreddits are well liked by merchants. Good info there.

There's also the Gurus that can provide some support for free, as well as you can hire an 'Expert' through Shopify to get even more help.

All this is to say the most groan-inducing phrase in business: you've got to spend more to make more. And there's no guarantee that you'll earn it back because business is hard.
This is a vague and emotional argument to a technical question.
Ok, so let's say it's day one: how do you choose all of your initial pinned versions? How do you know they're safe? What if you luck-out in the supply chain attack lottery and pin malware?
Safari has really stepped up their game recently and made amazing strides in a very short amount of time. There's even some features that they're now ahead of the game on (like color mixing and the new color spaces).

Not sure about the localStorage issue. Are you referring to the fact that iPhones (and macs?) will automatically delete the localStorage for websites that haven't been visited in the past week?
Fair point. No way a hacker could extract anything close to $1 trillion USD without crashing the price.

I would argue that they could extract many millions, possibly billions before the community caught on though.

Wouldn’t that be sufficient incentive to hack it? Why hasn’t anyone done it?
Refineries are the bottleneck in the US, not oil supplies. The world doesn't need Alberta's dirty-ass oil sands oil.
This is such a tired old topic on HN. Back in the day, compilers were evil. Real programmers used assembly. And then libraries were evil. And today, web frameworks were evil. Give it a rest.
Hell no. Also if this is your expectation you’re absolutely insane if this isn’t automated…also this kind of sounds like QA to me. My presumption is the base functionality requirements are met, I’m looking for potential performance issues, code standards, sound architecture, etc.

I am always amazed at how many repetitive tasks folks want to load up developers with. I think there’s a tendency among developers-turned-managers to see their job as crafting the perfect “program” of processes for their developers to follow, instead just automating these tasks. Like they say, the cobbler’s children have no shoes.

You would be surprised of how dishonest, abusive and manipulative can be the adopting programs.

I know the case of a Spanish couple without children that adopted a Chinese girl baby. Some time later they discovered in a routinely health check (in Spain) that the girl has Down's syndrome, a fact that was know obviously but carefully hidden by the Chinese authorities.
Cubeast looks pretty awesome, but it only works in Chrome, which is a non-starter for me. So a few months back I started my own Python/Qt app, which is roughly similar to Cubeast, but less features as of now: https://github.com/zwegner/CubingB

I haven't had much time to work on it lately, and there's limitations like only supporting Bluetooth on macOS and only one type of cube (the MoYu AI), but it's open source and works pretty well as a timer (both for smart cubes and regular cubes).
Does the US not have e-transfers? Up here in Canada you can easily transfer money directly between accounts. You log into your bank and provide the email address for the recipient. The bank emails them a transfer message. They log into their account and accept the transfer. Could not be easier.
Oh, but you do. If collective responsibility was not a concept you were aware of before, you will certainly learn it now, just like the Germans did after WWII
I'm sorry to say this but you are uninformed. Dogs have immense utility! These days yes they are generally house pets but they greatly improve mental health and love you unconditionally.

Dogs are also used as ratters, herders, and as protection for livestock from predators like foxes or lions (depending on where you live...). So much so, some working dogs can go for 50k in Australia!

Dogs require upkeep in the form of food, water, vaccinations, training and toileting.

As such the description "free as in puppies" is apt.

Have a good day :)
Adoptive parent here.

I read this before I adopted, and it didn’t make any sense to me then.
Having now adopted, I’m willing to make a value judgement and say this absolutely horrific. It induces horror. I’m my kid’s parent.
For me the start of getting back to normal was someone telling me, as I am telling you, that this is classic anxiety and not what you would be thinking about in a million years if you hadn't got yourself into a phase of anxiety. This isn't normal, this vision is not realistic, look into relaxation methods and anxiety remedies rather than bunker plans. The all being in your head is something you're going to reject and protest but hopefully the seed will be planted and you'll be able to start noticing other signs and eventually find relief in accepting that
Yes, I use the Fastmail VIP feature for this. I makes a vast difference.

I’ve got tens of thousands of emails in my inbox, even after filtering, and, at my age, I simply don’t want to spend an hour a day pawing over email. I just let it recede into the past. If someone pings me about something I “missed”, I can always dig up their email.

I have no VIP email in my inbox.
Hyperinflation obsessed people need to study economic history closer. Deflation is a much worse problem with no good mechanisms to address. Real GDP growth under a deflationary bitcoin dominated economy would be very difficult to achieve.
This purported leak from an FSB officer says nuclear war won't happen. Of course, I can't vouch for this but it's food for thought. Nuclear war won't happen because:

1) It would take more than one man (Putin) to launch and not all would agree to a launch

2) There is doubt that the nuclear launch system even works because it is not maintained very well

3) They would refuse to launch because Putin trusts no one, let's no one near him and has no friends. No one wants to die for Putin

4) (my addition) A lot of Russians are opposed to what is happening so Putin doesn't know who will do what he says

Yeah but if you pay for puppies you also have to pay for puppies forever after that? So isn't that the same thing, except you saved a bit at the start?

> on iPhone, I don't know of a fast way to toggle notifications for a given app.

In the notification screen, drag the notification left and hit "Options". It'll give you options to mute, turn off, or fine-tune the settings.
> The necessary time isn't spent thinking on the tasks but instead the pairing rushing things through with very little thought to design and long term maintainability.

I feel like pairing pushes people towards this because both parties feel the need to show they aren't "wasting time" by engines reasonable definition of it.

If you swim upstream and try to work against this, it can cause some friction.
> There is one key difference: people were mistaken about the war.

That was a obvious to a lot of us in advance. But, even so, they has a much better case than you do for “nuclear war won't happen”.

“Putin is defeated in the conventional war and has no realistic path to victory” is a reasonable, if slightly overcertain, take.

But it doesn't even begin to support “and, so, he won't use nukes.”
I understand that many of you aren't in a position to bargain or move the needle here, but no claims of safety made by Microsoft should ever be taken seriously, ever. Not until a serious mea culpa on the extreme harm they've caused in this space.
> Before all this, I was sure I'd flee at the first sign of trouble; get my family and just move somewhere West. Now, as the conflict progresses, and I feel my way of life attacked, I feel a certain flame inside that I've never felt and not sure where it came from.

You are not alone.
Your thing would imply a 0 connected neural net could compete with GPT3. I quote

The Lottery Ticket Hypothesis: A randomly-initialized, dense neural network contains a subnetwork that is initialised such that — when trained in isolation — it can match the test accuracy of the original network after training for at most the same number of iterations. - Frankle & Carbin (2019, p.2)
Pretty much the lowest yield nuke will get any city either in the initial explosion or in the blast wave. Especially the balloon 2x4 construction that is everywhere. I've looked up what would be valid and realized there is no point in worrying about it. I'll certainly be gone in a flash if anywhere in my city is hit. https://nuclearsecrecy.com/nukemap/
I find it difficult to believe the issue is small sample size, given how many DUIs there are in the US.

The biggest influence is going to be whether you were wealthy enough. The difference between a DUI conviction and any other outcome is wealth and applying it toward a top-shelf DUI attorney. DUI attorneys traffic in leveraging their connections to either keep you out of court in the first place, get a favorable plea, a favorable prosecutor/judge, or if all that fails, find the tiniest little mistake in the case.
Is there a Google Drive clone with encrypted backups?

I love the usability of Google Drive (being able to access / make files offline whenever I want), but the Mac update started to force me to upload all my files, which I don't want to do, as the files are not encrypted.
I suggest you start by watching the series 'Band of Brothers' and its follow up 'The Pacific'. True stories from WWII of ordinary men training for combat and enduring extreme situations. Key takeaways are: physical training, become as fit as you can possibly be; skills training appropriate to the situation; and most importantly: you don't go through this alone, you need a team that has your back, united in a common goal and driving each other to give their best.

In the luxury of peacetime our culture has been free to dismiss all forms of masculinity as toxic. These real life heroes tell a different story.
> Later, when I’m alone and can focus the proper answer usually comes to me. I know there are others like me who produce their best work when they can focus, alone.

Yeah, I've taken "thinking breaks" during pair sessions for this reason.
I use Qt Creator on every platform
The browser scores given for Interop2022 (Chrome: 71%, Firefox: 74%, and Safari: 73%) are heavily weighed down because of the "Investigation" part of the score which of course they all score 0 on because it's just begun. Without that, their scores on the mentioned focus areas would look more like:

- Chrome: 79%
- Firefox: 82%
- Safari: 81%

I feel like this gives a better insight into the current state of things
I think stuu99 is off-base in several of their points, but there's no denying that certain games have been online'd purely as a means of copy protection. Diablo 3 is a great example. It's a game that's perfectly enjoyable in single player, but they specifically moved parts off onto a remote server to prevent you from giving copies to your friends. They could have just as easily (in fact, probably more so) put everything the single player mode needs in the executable and required a login for multiplayer, as was done for Diablo 2, but they didn't. Even if you have no intention of playing online, you don't have option not to connect to Blizzard.

OK, so the adjacent question is about the sustainability of everyone (or a lot of people) having a 10k lb-hauling vehicle sitting around in addition to their daily driver.
"According to W3Techs' data, PHP is used by 78.9% of all websites with a known server-side programming language."

I am prepared for the downvotes here. But numbers don't lie. PHP is the dominate language of sites that run. If they are up running I would surmise the business is up and running. Facebook is a great example of hacking something together with php. IMHO I think if Facebook started with java it wouldn't exist. It's so fast to just hackup a php script and rsync it.
The author brings up scaling, slow upgrades, and energy use as the failure vectors for Bitcoin.

The scaling section links to a Frances Coppola blog from 2018 which sites the "lightning network not mathematically possible" blog post from 2017. Article does not mention progress made over the last 4 years in lightning, nor does it mention other scaling options such as federated chaumian e-cash systems.

I see the slow upgrades in bitcoin as a feature.

I see the energy problem as something that we need to solve with pollution legislation.

I skipped over the parts about NFTs and Ethereum, and only checked out the parts related to bitcoin.
If said Colorado mountain town is anything like around these parts, another tourist-driven area, you're not buying much for less than a million dollars. Rentals are rare and scooped up immediately when one does come onto the market.

Not even a software engineer's salary is going to find you a place to live unless you are coming with a bunch of built-up capital already. Businesses having housing stock available for rent allows workers to move into town. Without that you'll just get a "I'd love to take this job but I can't find anywhere to live. Sorry."
What is the specific set of knowledge that delineates those who are "living in the ivory tower" from, to use a term introduced by another poster down-thread, "blue-collar programmers?" Do I become an ivory tower programmer as soon as I express any interest at all in functional programming? Or is there some level of FP knowledge ("first-class functions and recursion are acceptable, but no ADTs!") where you start "living in an ivory tower?" Or perhaps if I use these things in an industrial context it's okay, or does simply knowing about monads or Prolog mean I'm relegated to the ivory-tower ghetto?

Does understanding how a database works on a level past what most industrial programmers need to, say, leverage the value of an index make someone an ivory-tower resident? How about understanding how Paxos (ha) or Raft work? For that matter, does reading any computer science paper take me out of the realm of being a "blue-collar" programmer or does it depend on how much the paper stinks of "ivory-tower-ness?"

Have I made my point yet?
I used to be diametrically opposed to pair programming back when I was a junior developer. These days I often find myself parachuting into troubled code bases and trying to fix technical debt while under time pressure to launch a new feature. I often see things that, I can only imagine, were written by some junior dev trying to impress their boss by just hacking something together and throwing it over the wall. More and more I wish that code had been written via pair programming, where the other (hopefully more senior and judicious) developer could have, perhaps by only their mere presence, prevented the hack dev from doing what they did.
I didn’t think NetBeans supported C++ anymore?
I spoke perhaps a little strongly. But that said:

The compiler is free to reorder accesses to multiple volatile variables if they happen prior to the same sequence point. So (roughly) expressions involving two volatile variables do not have those accesses sequenced.

But you are right that the usage described earlier is OK, as long as both variables are marked volatile, and the accesses straddle a sequence point.

The more common mistake with volatiles is to use the for multithreading primitives.
That's because it's not a technique to monitor people. What's conveniently omitted here is that this was done during the protests (hence the riot gear) that they are trying to stop. While illegal, there is certainly crazier shit you can watch from protests in other countries.
If you presume encryption (SSL et al) in its present state generally works, this strikes me as obviously superior? I genuinely don't understand the argument? You carry your password in your head, buy the new machine, phone home, and you're good? Ditch the machine on the way home if it's that serious.

Oh I get that it's theoretically possible, but could it be "normalized?"
What a fascinating website. The links in the article took me to topics even more interesting. Seemingly unimportant to the public, but still very interesting.
Well, my inbox has tens of thousands of emails. Every January or so, I put last year's messages into an archive for that year. When I look for something, I use the search feature.

Works like a charm for over a decade now. (But I don't get aneurysms when other people handle it differently.)
I can testify to JetBrains products, they're quite good. I haven't used CLion in a few years because I don't like depending on a dev tooling that costs money. I use VSCode because I hop between Python, Bash, Go, C, and C++. That being said, CLion definitely offers a much better debugging experience, even when VSCode has all the right plugins.

Again, the lower the density of life, the more pickup trucks are useful. Dense residential construction is one situation, but there are many others. I brought up plowing snow in another comment in this conversation.

That being said, I don't really care to litigate the pros and cons between work vans and work trucks. I was mostly trying to make the point that there are legitimate uses of work trucks. It's very easy for the HN crowd to be in a kind of bubble where they wouldn't understand that, so I thought I'd add some nuance to the conversation.
Next time you get a notification from a sender you want to silence, swipe left on the notification, then tap “manage notifications”. That should take you straight to the notification settings for the specific app.
As moonchild posted, I was only saying that you can't measure the position of an electron exactly. I was not saying that you can't measure any properties of electrons at all.

The more general statement is that you can't measure exact values for any observable with a continuous spectrum; you can only measure that a quantum system is within some finite range of values. Spin has a discrete spectrum, so you can measure exact values for spin.
It would be really annoying if my cat could wipe my hard drive just by walking on the keyboard when I'm in the bathroom.
I think all of these are valid points.

If half of our lives were not criminalized over the past few days by new laws, if 12+ free speech media orgs were not shut down in just three days, if my friends were not hiding from the bombs in Kiev, if our chances to flee the regime were not cut down drastically by political decisions, I would follow these by the book.

Regarding bots and copy paste — feel free to join our Telegram and conduct select Turing tests on people who post their resumes. Maybe that will prove you we are not a bunch of bots, but people in extreme danger who fear for their lives and their families.
about 2% of US oil comes from Russia, so please don't act like we're a huge consumer of that. Everyone knows we buy Saudi Oil, and we have for decades, so no huge secret. Also keep "Europe down" is BS. Europeans are adults they can do wha they want. the heartland theory is garbage and many many historians and contemporary political scientists feel the same. Europe also buys Russian and Saudi Oil, probably in larger amounts than the USA so don't blame their ills on us. Again no one has forced them to ally with the USA.
I have switched to Remnote to take better notes of books I read as well to use practice spaced repetition, but it is hard to make a routine of practicing the cards. :)
I live in country which is on the verge of war with one of its neighbors on and off for as much as I can remember. I don’t feel prepared, aside from the fact that I served in the army as a civilian because it’s mandatory for all adult males. I’ve experienced high alert situations while serving and it felt awkward. I was half scared, half hyped and alerted. The possibility of a nuclear war worries me, but it’s beyond my control so I don’t trouble myself with it. The possibility of a conventional war on the other hand doesn’t bother me. If it happens I’ll do my duty and serve my country making sure that everyone and everything that threatens what I love will perish. And that is that.

100% the same here. I went from "I'd be the first one to run away" to "I'd volunteer to fight for Ukraine" in a heartbeat. I credit Zelensky for it. My own politicians are weak and would have fled to Canada in a heartbeat, just like they did in WW2. But a leader that stays on the frontline and rallies the troops is such a powerful thing that it even has an effect on me. And its not just me, tens of thousands of foreigners are signing up to volunteer for defending ukrain. Apparently it has an impact.
I do not rule out thy using a single small nuclear weapon against a mostly military target would get unanswered. If so, I think it could be seen as a sign of strength “look what I can get away with”.

Also, even if it is a sign of weakness, if the alternative would be not winning the war, which one would be the lesser evil, seen from the viewpoint of prestige?
That's a much better argument that “a single nuclear strike directed at a particular target to force capitulation in the war won't occur”, than for “a larger strike will not occur using the diversity of platforms and communications channels major nuclear powers have specifically to assure their strategic nuclear forces are resilient against partial failures in physical infrastructure or intermediary human components between the top commanders are the delivery systems.”
I know a man who retired into a fifth wheel. He doesn't move it much, but it's definitely smaller footprint housing, so more responsible than most when optimizing for environmental impact. You'd definitely want a truck if that was your lifestyle.
They won that fight a few years ago.
