Ask HN: Receiving crypto(with Coinbase) to fund OSS?
I have a (quite big) OSS project I am about to publish, and want to make at least some money with it through donations - and since that usually works out quite limited, I want to offer as many funding channels as possible, to at least get something in the end. So I also want the crypto option, but do not want to have the extra work of setting everything up and securing it.

So I want to add some crypto wallets on the "funding page", of where people could send crypto to me.

Coinbase seems like a good solution as it seems, I could receive virtually all the different crypto coins through it. But it is a bit confusing as it seems a new wallet gets generated every time I click "receive" (for privacy reasons). So I would assume, that all those wallets are still connected to my account, but I want to be sure and the coinbase support is useless.

So has anyone experience with it, or other recommendations on how to proceed?
No, that's why there's a bunch of packages such as rimraf[0] that implements that sort of functionality in a cross-platform way that most people use in their scripts

It says to make, not to roast or cook. Make means to create.
There's also some ongoing work on Rust REPL, see https://github.com/google/evcxr - though it's still a bit of a hack. Might become even easier than Turbo Pascal itself, and comparable to home computer BASICs.
The best is have both types on the team.

You give Coder 1 projects and in a week they have a working version that starts generating revenue, albeit with cut corners and limited scope. After it bakes for a month or two and we are sure we want to keep this thing, you hand it to Coder 2 to improve quality, integrate with the rest of the stack, etc.

If it was a bad idea you throw it away and C2 never needs to support it.

C1’s fast velocity is largely a product of the high quality codebase curated by C2. C2 is always spending their time on known-profitable projects, thanks to C1. We also make sure C1 and C2 are both involved in deciding what we build and in deciding architecture.

Usually C1 is a more business-motivated type who is excited about the domain. C2 is usually more of a technical purist who is excited about building great software.

On a team with good leadership this is a very powerful combination, everyone is valuable.
I think some of the Nvidia Cards do come with a USB-C port, which should work [1]

> We also tried connecting a 4K monitor with a USB-C to DisplayPort adapter, and that worked well - as expected.

They will just pay it to someone newer. Costs are costs and they are going up. I worked with a guy 3 jobs back who is just now making a bit less then what they hired me at. He's good, but won't change jobs. He's been with the company for 20+ years. I've had 3 jobs since then and I'm close to double his salary now.
If you are someone junior and ambitious and looking to build your career, it's worth asking yourself if the first real incident will lead to leadership learning and adapting or you becoming the Chief Sacrificial/Scapegoat Officer. Do you see clear evidence of them learning painful lessons in other areas, or are they true believers who ignore evidence in favor of convictions?

If you are being paid enough to accomplish very little for years, it might be worth considering. In cash, because there's an elevated chance of death-by-incident and you getting nothing for your equity.

Much of what you will learn in an environment this unhealthy may prove maladaptive in a healthier one. If you genuinely believe you can win out and make real progress, even after correcting for sunk cost fallacies, it may be worth it. Being able to build an effective security program from scratch in an hostile environment is a huge accomplishment... but also a big if.
I'd imagine if anything it's a capacity issue now that they're producing mac chips in addition to iPhone chips. I suspect the fact the current chip is already so fast may also be a factor. Pretty much nobody using an iPhone is clamouring for a faster CPU. I have an iPhone 6s, and even the A9 in that is fast enough that my phone never feels slow.
I think for developers it is already as popular. I also like SVN though even with its flaws (apart from performance in larger projects, having a .svn folder everywhere is my biggest gripe).

I think git popularized versioning systems in the first place as many developers just didn't use them at all.

I hoped that versioning would become more user friendly. I remember offices with non-developers that used tools like Tortoise SVN for Windows, which is just insanely practical. Maybe there are already tools like that for git as well, but I haven't encountered them yet. Instead people use bad cloud sync software, which may solve some additional use cases. Problem is that most of these services are trash with bad performance.

But in the end, if SVN is used by non-developers it would still provide a massive benefit, it doesn't have to be git.
That's an extremely unfriendly thing to jump to. There was nothing in the text to suggest that.

I also noticed that every developer was from one gender and even commented to my partner at the time, at which point I remembered it was international women's day and perhaps this was Apple showing their support in an unvoiced/non-bombastic way.

Does this make me a misogynist? For noticing something?
Indeed, owners should instruct staff to ask the ones picking up the order what they paid, and write it down.
Believe or not, that project is already underway and will use our Sun as a gravitational lens.

I predict in couple decades we will learn to build swarms of drone craft that we will send to the right location and they will be able to image nearby planets (one per swarm...) with at least ~10-40km per pixel if not better.
> Surprise, Apple announced not an M2 device but a new member of the M1 family, the M1 Ultra.

Really this dod not come as a surprise to anyone interested in Apple's chips, it was rumored as "Jade-2C" for a long time. And they were not expected to release a "pro" version of M2 before the standard version for the new MacBook Air neither.
I'm not so sure that agriculture has successfully scaled across the human axis. We've successfully scaled agriculture only by removing much of the human element. Even very large farms, in terms of production, employ relatively few people. At that small scale of human involvement there still is often a lot of struggle with the people.
It wouldn't be a problem if there was a clear statement from Mozilla, or from Yandex. However, both declined to comment (as of now) because, obviously, the talk might give the users the revelation they have been sold and resold like cattle. So because of the corporate handling of the matter now we have a shitstorm among common computer users because something has seriously changed with their “internet”.

I've been installing Firefox with useful extensions on all computers of friends and relatives (if only because it's not fucking Google Chrome Cage), and now they got a shovelful of shit straight from Mozilla.
Yes. Firefox removed Yandex Search Option is a fact, what is in the parens is OP's personal opinion. Unfortunately the submission has been flagged already. Not sure why though, I think some users are flagging it.
Jaw-dropping is an understatement -- that's a stunning composition. How did he convince the moon and space station to perfectly pose together and the sun to light them so sharply like that?

I've never seen a photo that reveals the roughness of the moon in profile like the high contrast craters and mountains along the edge.
They do not meet the USDA definition of GMO but FSC is a different story. FSC right now is quite exclusionary and so we are not eligible for FSC certification. I do think that FSC certification is quite challenging for most family foresters to obtain given the price and other challenging criteria. FSC is set up to be easy for large timber companies to obtain but harder for family foresters. Given the work that is being done with the American chestnut and other advances in forest biotechnology, our hope is that FSC will update their definition along the lines of what other certifying bodies like the Tree System and SFI certification organizations have done.
Great catch - there's certainly some false-positives, due to me only using keywords from the title. When I catch them, I add the id of the post to "hn_exclude". This happens the most for China, as China gets posted about quite frequently here.

There's some false negatives as well, as some posts have more vague titles, but those aren't as common. If anybody knows some examples they believe should be included, feel free to call them out, and I can have them included.

Edit: It has been excluded

No, but it does put binaries from any installed node packages in your PATH (locally when running scripts).
So the article presents the motivations of India around this consideration, but could anyone possibly elaborate on what the thinking might be? The article states that the Indian defense department cannot suffer the energy costs because of "simmering territorial disputes with China". India also has longstanding border disputes with Pakistan. I always thought (potentially ignorantly) that India would largely align itself with "the West". Moreover, the countries that would potentially aid India in any escalation of border disputes would be the US, Europe, etc.

How does this purchase not ending hurting them in the sense that, if they buy Russian oil in this crisis in defiance of the West's objections; wouldn't that come back to bite them potentially if China aggressed on India in a potentially parallel border dispute?
I don't know details - I don't even know that storage is getting cheaper, haven't been paying attention - but flash chips are, IIRC, way easier to manufacture than current-gen processors; it's plausible that SSDs are escaping being affected the way CPUs/GPUs are.
Only, google rarely credits the sources they scraped for infoboxes.

Quadrupling pricing. And a couple of bumps up from "free". Wow.
> Don't forget to be honest. I know there's this cult of positivity crap floating around, but the best CISO in this scenario calls the CEO, gives them the honest grim assessment of the current situation, says what can be done to fix it, and is eager to get to work.

The job of a CISO is not to convey problems to the CEO but to solve problems. The first CISO didn't understand their role.

Voxels as in ‘3d pixels’ have been around since the 90s at the least, as evidenced by Vangers. Later, some people took the word and used it to describe Minecraft, in the meaning ‘big blobs that aren't even the smallest atomic unit, as there are clearly items that are made with smaller shapes’.
There is absolutely zero chance that humanity will last long enough to use Red Dwarfs as a home. Barring some sort of ultra conservation efforts, constant mutations will have created an entirely new species. Humanity will have less relation to the red dwarf inhabitants than Eutherians from the cretaceous era have to us.
>Then eat grass-fed meat. I do so myself.

I'm not sure there is enough grassland in the world for everyone to eat grass-fed meat.
I'm guessing you mean double the single core performance and not clock speed. Even Intel Pentium 4's from 2000 had higher clock speeds than Apple's M1 chips. The clock speed matters far less than what you can actually get done in a single clock cycle. Just looking at Apple's own products and their single core performance from Geekbench you can see they achieved around a 40% improvement in just single core performance [1]. So it's not just adding more cores. Apple has usually been the one to hold out on cores and usually has resisted adding more cores to the iPhone / iPad chips in the past and focused on better single core performance.

> Your average user is going to prefer double the clock rate of your processors to doubling the number of processors.

I disagree. The reality is that these days people are running multi-threaded workloads even if they don't know it. Running a dozen chrome tabs, Slack, Teams, Zoom, some professional tools like IDE's, Adobe creative suite, etc. adds up very quickly to a lot of processes that can use a lot of cores.

It might help to have some feel-good stated purpose as in “hang out … for charity.” I’m probably just watching too much The Guilded Age, but that’s what the characters in that show spend a lot of their time doing.
> Are you seriously trying to justify what is happening right now in the Ukraine by existance of small nationalistic groups not condemned by the Ukrainian government? Anything that this fringe nazi group did, Russian soldiers are doing on a country wide scale as we speak.

I mean... that "small nationalistic group" became a part of the official national guard, so it has support from the government itself. What exactly did eg. Afghanistan do, that attacking it was "good"?

> And also yes. Allies matter. Even the moral allies.

Oh yes... if your friends say it's ok to bomb some random country, that makes it OK?

> But if Ukraine built death camps for their Russian population. Allying with Putin to put a stop to that would be good.

Afghanistan had death camps? Yugoslavia did? Iraq? Lybia?

> However we do not live in any of those worlds. In ours Ukraine just wants to be a country and a nation they were always striving to be, despite being repeatedly crushed by the Russian heel and murdered by millions. And the west is supporting that ambition despite the great cost to its economy that is the result of cutting outselves off from Russia exports. We are doing it for both moral and selfish reasons. Because people and their actions are nuanced like that

Yes, so did every other middle eastern country strive to be a normal, peaceful country... sadly most of them have been attacked by americans, some more than once.

America had no real reason to attack eg. afghanistan, but they did. Because you find americans to be allies/friends, you support them at that, even though they basically destroyed the country in the same way as putin is doing now. And same for many middle eastern, south american etc. countries, that were attacked by americans. Putin is atleast using the same excuse america used when they attacked yugoslavia. America couldn't even plant "weapons of mass destruction" in the second iraq war, but that faked excuse was enough to attack a sovereign country.

America has been destroying countries for decades now, for same egoistic reasons putin has now. They have destroyed many buildings, killed many people, army and civillian, children and old people, destroyed infrastructure, etc., and the destroyed/killed numbers are a still lot higher than russias, even with this war now.

I have no idea, how lying about weapons of mass destruction can be a good reason for you, to attack a country on the other end of the world, and than act as if you're better than putin.
this seemed like something that was a given
Even if it did "work" in China with their draconian lockdowns, that was against pre-Omicron variants. Omicron is so much more infectious that's it's already too late for lockdowns if they have several thousand confirmed cases already.

As an aside, if there was something you were considering purchasing over the next 12-18 months that is made in China or has components made in China (so pretty much anything) I'd suggest getting your order in now.

Honestly, my guess is that the fab production issues impact everyone. I wonder if they get the same number of runs per $ as they used to pre-covid, my guess would be no. If that’s the case, that drives BoM up and Apple is hyper margin conscious.
What a weird comment, you are talking about there being women at all but the observation is that there were exclusively women
Where did the author say women are needed to take care of the housework? Even with the sarcasm this is a pretty thoughtless and offensive post.
Yeah, portrait mode is basically face ID in reverse and works a lot better than room scanning.

How does the lidar help with night shots though? Maybe focusing, but otherwise isn't it just a long exposure with algorithmic corrections?
For me it’s rarely software obsolescence that prompts the upgrade. My 2014 MacBook and iPhone 6 were retired due to the battery…

Oh boy, I can see this debate will be fruitless for probably both of us (more importantly for me, it'll be useless for me), because it seems our dictionaries disagree on what "rebuttal" means.

How is "I merely pasted a paragraph from a news article to point out that his claim doesn't seem to match up with what is commonly reported." not an attempt of a rebuttal? And your counter-claim (which countries host domains) doesn't fit his claim of "in which countries are porn produced"?

It'd be like him saying iPhones are made in China and you quoting an article that says he's wrong because the majority of iPhones are sold in the US.

I don't look forward to be even more confused.
either they truly have lost touch with their userbase or the large majority of users simply do not care. in any case i'd love to use DDG but the results simply isn't good and I always end up coming back to google. just wish we could give them less information.

but seems they are anti-competitive, youtube vanced is another recent example.
So this is using "Aryan" in exactly the sort of manner that the Nazis did--referring to the Indo-European (white) "race" as Aryans. The racial theories of the Nazis actually originate in the mid-1800s, although during and after World War II, these theories fell out of fashion quickly.

The term itself comes from the self-demonym of Indo-Iranian peoples (ultimately from Sanskrit), and Indo-Iranian has generally replaced the term 'Aryan' in scholarly contexts to avoid the racial connotations of the Nazis.
Do they actually pretend to be the restaurant on the phone, like they answer with "Tony's Pizza" if that's the restaurant?
i love it, its very cute, reminds me of the old MSX
We've been using an old CORAID box running 24 drives with 50TB usable (100TB actual) on 16GB of RAM using FreeNAS 9.x for years without noticeable problems :) I've tried to upgrade to 32GB a couple times but for whatever reason the board won't allow more than 16GB even though according to Intel docs the RAM should be compatible. We have up to 12 PCs connected at gigabit and never any noticeable lag, even while resilvering, though I'm sure it would be faster if there was more RAM available.
And there's no gotcha there, Google's always been open that retrieval fees are the tradeoff for Coldline being otherwise so cheap. Nearline is the better option for data you'll access more once a quarter.
Agreed. But at least with bamboo it appears to be much easier to constrain.
What’s irrational here is that people seem to think that “the market” is the solution to a problem that is created by “the market” (ie seo).

Any solution is going to have to think deeper than that.
Caller id is just a user settable field. There are two numbers, ANI which is how telcos are supposed to keep track of who to charge. NO one uses it, because users don't like it. And caller id is sent out on the second ring, but again, user can set that to anything. Corps have to adhere to the TCPA, others don't and SIP calls are cheap and globally routable. https://www.fcc.gov/sites/default/files/tcpa-rules.pdf
I think this is the grey area. I don't see any inherent problem with any of

* hiring someone to place an order at a restaurant for you and deliver it.

* that service adjusting the consumer facing prices for individual items since they're really getting food from the delivery service and the restaurant is just a supplier.

* that service using the name, logo, and menu of the restaurant for the purposes of advertising that they can deliver there. Lots of businesses will be like "we buy $this_part from $here -- here's your options."

* the delivery service having no business relationship with the delivery provider.

If you're gonna fix anything it would be requiring that it's clear that you're not ordering direct from the restaurant and the delivery service takes all the responsibility but that's pretty minor.

The tech world equivalent is upstream maintainers getting bug reports from downstream distro builds of their software and we're normally not like "we must regulate that Debian has a business relationship with all OSS they package."
Not at all; they're building a cool tech stack, but the only thing they sell is super expensive hardware that no individual - and not even that many businesses! - is likely to be able to afford.
Unrelated: But anyone remember xoxide.com? The computer building site from the early 2000s? One of my favorite sites of all time.

You can’t threaten to kill Putin on Facebook, company now says
I think the COVID-Is-Over crowd needs to send that memo to COVID, it didn't get the message, yet. We've been here before multiple times now. Politicians rush to "get back to normal" and then a few weeks or months later, the next wave hits. Will we ever learn?
If only we had the luxury of not doing things with unknown problems, because we'd avoided the catastrophic known problems by cutting our emissions in time.
That makes sense. Would the USDA define your product as a GE tree? Is the USDA still not allowing GE trees in the wild?
