I understand why you're getting downvoted but I have to say that I agree with the gist of what you're saying. We use HackerRank mostly just to package a problem set and put a timer in place for upload, nothing more clever than that, so if someone pattern matched "HackerRank test" to "disrespectful" I would think of that as a severe red flag and move on to another candidate.

There are many "in good faith" steps that both parties must do in the interview process, wherein if either party drops the ball it really makes sense for both parties to cut their losses and move on; which I believe is what you are getting at.
I'd be interested to hear who you bought the hosting from, I'm sure the US government would also like to hear who has been helping you evade sanctions. Sanctions are there for a reason.
Logically, yes. But I don't see that ever working again. At most they may offer "discounts" for people that lock into long term commitments (ie prepay for a year for small discount, like what many SaaS companies already do), but no consumer is ever going to put up with that type of contract again.

If they try it, I'm gone.
I hope at some point miners in DF will get a special strange mood in which they go and dig out some crazy architectural masterpiece, a dining hall or a dwelling or a tomb fit for a king. Currently they just go and create an artifact masonry item, which is a bit boring.

Oh, and there could be another strange mood where the affected dorf becomes obsessed with delving too deep and too greedily, with certain spoilery consequences if not stopped in time.
Bitcoin in particular would be the absolute worst tool to use to fix any of these problems. It is 90% owned by a very small group of people. If it becomes more valuable, this will result in a significantly less equitable financial system.
> What?? The parent was talking about the lightning network... which is built on top of the bitcoin node network.

Yes, but bitcoin is so volatile that you can’t keep money for daily usage in it. You can only use it as long-term investment or ultra-short-term wallet.

The regular usage – storing money for somewhere between one and 30 days – is really painful with bitcoin.

Reddit's is kind of infamous for posts from people in insane relationships. (There's even a rumor that Grimes posted there while dating Elon, but that's unconfirmed so I won't link it here.)

You think welding people inside their homes is "well within norms"?
What I really enjoy about this post is that in a logical manner it exposes the weakness with this type of research.

The correlations aren't useless but they aren't strictly useful either. Instead what is useful is developing a pseudo DAG of cause and effect for behavior.

You also elude to how optimizing for one variable can lose sight of all the other down stream decisions that correlate to the result.

I can speak to my own anecdote as well since working out more my partner and I have enjoyed more intimacy. Is it strictly the increase in muscle mass, probably not I'm not exactly swol or ripped at all, but more likely one of the meriad of other down stream benifits due to the change in behavior associated with the activity.
IMO, this makes all the praising about open source ideals promoted by GitHub a complete bullshit.

Ask HN: Best skills to learn for process automation?
Maybe, maybe not. I'm a Linux person. I run Debian in a UTM VM on my MacBook Pro and do all the work in that.

Why? Because the host machine sucks less at all the desktop stuff that Linux is horrible at and the VM wins at all the server and dev stuff the Mac sucks at.
The two character requirements can trip up foreign TLDs if the input is encoded as unicode (but everyone knows you're supposed to translate the domain to IDN before running validation, right? Right??) so I wouldn't even use that. There don't seem to be any TLDs that are only one character long in their encoded form, but I can easily see Chinese or Japanese TLDs leveraging their extensive character set to keep the TLD part of the domain short. As long as there's something behind the @ before a period, it's probably fine for an external email address.

Missing a period can cause problems, because without a period or a TLD at the end, your mail service might try to send email to internal servers in your network. Send mail to a@b from server c.com and you might end up sending email to a@b.c.com instead. Not checking for a period in the domain part can therefore cause some pretty weird behaviour.

If the email ends in an external domain, there's a period. If the email is intended for an internal host without a full domain name, the period should be at the very end of the address, turning it into a proper hostname.

It's easy for people to type gmailcom and if you're using dot less domains in your network infrastructure you probably know about these hacks anyway. I don't think checking for a dot will break anything, even in the spec, except for something@[IPv6 address] but IP address emails are practically unused in real life anyway.
But the proof of the validation is in the sending. If it’s important I send a validation email
I honestly thought the title was going to be some type of metaphor. Nope.

>To me, digging tunnels feels like the sort of thing which we should allow.

Except, you know, there might be electrical lines, sewer lines, water pipes, etc, underground. It might also affect property value, if your tunnel floods it could lead to mosquitos, lots of unintended consequences could happen.

Also, if you have a family, loved ones, friends, etc, they also have a right to try to stop you from doing something potentially stupid.

Although I guess if you want to buy an island or some land all by yourself and dig holes all day, whatever. Otherwise, we live in a society and when what we do has consequences for others around us, society tends to get involved.
Because no-one has added a closer cafe yet.
It means 8 feet high by 4 feet wide. But I’m with you: I’d like to know how long it was.
As somebody who's delved into the crypto world and attempted to provide utility in the space by building a token aggregator / scam detector [1], I'm more disillusioned than ever with the state of crypto.

"Legitimate" projects are in between a rock and a hard place - either pay outrageous sums to the shillers or have no avenue to promote your project, as Google/Twitter/Facebook won't touch your crypto ads. Instead of the decentralised utopia we were promised, we've shifted power from traditional marketing channels with a vested interest in providing some ROI to scammers with no accountability, only in it to make a dollar at whatever cost. Scammers and hustlers are the gatekeepers of new tokens - unless you're paying thousands of dollars [2], it's almost impossible to get recognised.

Most projects are scams/get-rich-quick schemes preying on people's ignorance. There are well intentioned tokens out there, but even these have very dubious links between the price of the token and the utility of the project. The buybacks, reflections, stable-coin rewards, promises of guaranteed returns b/c we reinvest into other projects quickly part the ignorant from their hard-earned. Any attempt to dig deeper and understand project economics are met with the same platitudes and flawed arguments.

Of course there's the other side of the ecosystem where smart and talented people are raising VC money and working on interesting problems. I do believe there's something there around business model innovations (e.g. near fee-less micro-transactions tied to a crypto identity as a low impedance alternative to SSO) or technological innovations (blockchain-based serverless compute powering dApps - I do see a whole host of problems to which smart contract based dApps are a viable solution). The end result of this isn't a financial revolution but rather a host of entrepreneurs utilising web3 technologies to build the next generation of software startups.

A Ruby program can delete all of the files on a computer, insert arbitrary rows into a database, drop a table, send email with attachments, etc. Am I correct that you're concerned the Ruby JIT itself will have a security vulnerability in the act of JIT compiling Ruby code? This seems extremely myopic.
Are you saying people are abandoning npm for rust in some way? Perhaps a build tool might be written in faster languages, but likely node is still going to be the way to interact with it.

The majority of tax and other civil laws are basically full of things that are illegal/problematic if you do them individually, but if you can find someone else to cooperate with then it becomes fine.

The interface between church and state in the US is always friction-filled, because the separation of church and state creates an immediate contradiction: we must separate people's faith-based morality from the conduct of the government, yet we recognize that morality is an inextricable part of every individual.

In this case, these children are growing up in a society with laws that recognize the dignity and value of every one of those families. One parent, two parents, four parents, same-gender parents, different-gender parents... Regardless of the lessons children learn at home, it's the responsibility of the school to teach them that the law and the culture they're living in consider those families all equivalently correct.

So it's clear for the state (via the school) to have a say in this. That leaves the question on the table "is kindergarten too early for that say," and I'd argue it's not because kindergartners already have to interface to the society and sometimes have questions on these topics. My largest concern with this law is it badly ties the hands of educators if such questions come up organically. And that does a disservice to every student in their care, and harms the state's interest in educating its citizens about life in the state.

(To be more clear: when I say "badly ties the hands," I don't mean to imply there should be no constraints. Rather, the enforcement mechanism of opening up private lawsuits creates a situation where what should be a collaborative process, the education of children, is structured adversarially; the law doesn't encourage collaboration, it gives parents a cudgel to try and beat school systems with. That's bad law because it creates perverse incentives counter to the goals of the education process. Parents, too, have a vested interest in their children learning how to live in their society; how well do we imagine that will go if the process is "If I don't like what you're teaching, I will harm you financially?").
There was a famous study about the half-lives of "facts" in different fields. They do seem to vary by field.

It sounds like three unrelated security bugs from totally different teams of developers.
> Google would know that you clicked on the link, and the URL you visited but that doesn't necessarily mean they know what the content on the page you requested was.

SE is only supposed to be used for public pages ("Cache-Control: public") which will be the same for every user. If they have the URL they can just request the page themselves to see the content.

> It should always display where content is coming from.

And with SE it does show where the content came from. Not the cache, which is irrelevant, but the original source. Or do you want it to show all the routers and CDN platforms which were involved in getting the data from the publisher's server to your PC?

> At this point we really need a separate browser feature that shows us what server we're actually communicating with (host, cache, CDN, etc).

We have that; it's called developer tools. As there can be many resources from many different sources making up a single page the results are too complex to reduce to a single line in the address bar, but they are available for those who are interested.
This is cool. Reminds me.. I have always liked the idea of opening a cafe (who hasn't !?) but I'd struggle with the modern behaviour of peeps sitting for hours taking up a plug + wifi in exchange for ~£$4. Hugely uneconomical for independents. Good-faith customers aware of the economic burden of their behaviour are a VERY rare breed.. So I quite like (/ethically hate) the idea of creating scarcities in order to influence behaviour away from this norm. E.g. limited internet consumption, no wall sockets, pay-per-minute, etc. Thoughts?
Also the government-developed vaccine appears to have died due to arguments over who should have what rights to it.
> We just need to have it ready so that we can launch and land

This is like really really hard. Oumuamua was traveling through our solar system at about 87.3 km/s (relative to the sun, I think based on the link below). Earth travels around the sun at about 29.7 km/s. So if Oumuamua and Earth are traveling in the same plane (the is a REALLY BIG IF) then we still need to make up 57.5 km/s of delta V from a rocket. The fastest object we have ever launched from Earth was New Horizons which was launched with an escape velocity of 15.26 km/s and this was, generally speaking, a very light spacecraft launched on a very powerful rocket.

Now even with our more powerful rockets now, overcoming that difference in delta V is still incredibly difficult. To put it another way, in order to land something on the asteroid we already have to get it moving as fast as the asteroid. A more plausible mission would be doing something like Deep Impact that can still get an idea of what is going on in the composition of the comet. There was the "impactor" spacecraft that was launched from the main spacecraft and successfully collided with the comet. But it is less like we hit the comet with something and better to think about it as we got something in the way of the comet's path and the comet smashed in to it. As you might imagine getting something to survive this impact would also be incredibly difficult.

In fact, doesn't 'RFC' imply that it isn't a standard?

A pragmatic, domain-specific spec beats that.

edit: there's more nuance than that. Some RFCs are standards. 2822 is 'Category: Standards Track', so is a standard if referred to by its STD number? I can't find what its STD number is.
At summer camp we had joke activities like "sand a log to nothing" and "dig a hole to China". Kids would sign up for these activities and actually sand down the log and dig the pointless hole for hours. Just as popular as playing soccer, swimming, etc. I agree this tunnel boyfriend may be on to something
I agree in sentiment with your statement that if this shines a light on a problem and we get more valuable thoughts generated then that is an asset. However there is also the opportunity cost of this which is quite significant. Imagine the benefits we could accrue from humanity if we had put all this talent, capital and energy into a significant human problem? Obviously I'm being hypothetical because there is no way to coalesce efforts on that scale without self interest at the heart of it.
Maybe he’s digging the tunnel, because he already has mental health issues. For example a voice inside his head, that tells him to keep digging.

If he’s healthy, I also agree that this hobby is probably not bad for mental health.

Have you ever considered why banks look like temples?

Do you know the weight of a shekle?

Consider discovering more about these topics before you opine on "money".

> Maybe try thinking through the relationship between not consuming something now, and wanting to consume something in the future without using the idea of money?

Do you know about "time preference"? Do you appreciate how an inflationary currency promotes a shorter time preference? Can you see how that impacts the world by promoting rapid consumption?

Consider investigating how hard money impacts time preference.
I have the X1C gen 7 and love it, has been a wonderful machine for me. It's my personal laptop, and I do most of my personal development on a desktop machine, but it sees use many days each week. I'm running linux. I haven't had any complaints about this machine whatsoever.
Do you believe that Twitter and/or Facebook are not applying/working on "state of the art" moderation? I ask because I know first hand that they are. Further, I also know that when they do talk about how they are researching state of the art "AI based" moderation that the influencers who want no moderation at all come out of the woodwork to dog pile and invent conspiracies.

At this point I see no way for any social media company to talk about moderation (even legally mandated moderation) without getting dog piled. Note that even Musk is not advocating absolute free speech. In interviews about his attempt to purchase Twitter his frustration seems to be more about moderation being a black box not that moderation is not needed or wanted.

If you agree that AI driven moderation is "state of the art" and that moderation must be transparent and not a black box, how are you proposing that a company explain how transformers and hidden layers made a given moderation decision to the public when even the best PhDs can't really explain it to each other?
I've used a similar product at https://workfrom.co . Albeit, it appears they partially pivoted during the pandemic towards virtual co-working.

They have an app that has wifi speed reports which was my primary reason to install it (it also lists a qualitative score for accessing a power socket). There's around 20,000 locations in their database IIRC. The old web interface still exists eg: https://workfrom.co/search?g=seattle
This popped into my mind too, it's a very chilling story. Highly recommend a listen.

It's not fanaticism really. A lot of us find it's the only computer that actually does a half decent job of trying to work properly and doesn't kick you in the balls. Well it does but rarely.

Honestly I'd rather be using Windows on a ThinkPad. I really really like windows, PuTTY, MS office etc and I even like spending time in Visual Studio. But the hardware quality has declined to near zero in the PC market and lets not even get into a discussion about the shit show that windows and the dev story on it has become in the last few years.

Please don't suggest WSL either. I have no energy for that and its associated problems.

Really it comes down to the least stinky turd. I wish one of the big vendors (MS / Apple / Linux Vendor X) would really try and concentrate on making the best user-centric experience because at the moment they're all failing. Apple is just failing less hard and when time is money, I'm just having to pay through the nose for a little bit of edge.
> Well on your last point it does. "Money should be inflationary" is a "weird ideological monetary policy idea" it's just one that you agree with?

The idea that money should be stable with mild inflation seems to be the consensus view of the people (in multiple countries!) who actually have responsibility for the economy as a whole, and the economies that have stumbled into deflation don't seem very healthy.

Deflationary money seems to mainly appeal to people who are most concerned about jealously guarding the value of their little private hoard. Bitcoin was likely designed by someone like that who happened to be a talented programmer.
Nice writeup. I've been self-studying SQL lately for kicks -- I can bumble my way through a SELECT, INSERT, CREATE TABLE, etc. but things like joins and subqueries are foreign to me. Always neat to see something I'm studying turn up on the HN front page so I can see how far I've come :)

The writeup makes me wonder what other Apple software uses SQLite under the hood. In particular if the iTunes library is backed by a SQLite file, I could actually use that for some future projects. Cursory inspection shows that it's hdf-compressed so I'll need to get past that first... anyway, nice task for after-work hours.

> ...has been dividing his time between building the next generation of supercomputers and digging an underground tunnel that starts below his Chippewa Falls house and heads toward the nearby woods. "He's been working at it for some time now," says Rollwagen, who reports that the tunnel is 8 ft. high, 4 ft. wide and lined with 4-by-4 cedar boards. ...

I’d suggest relooking at Framework because I’ve seen so many positive reviews from people I respect, and it’s good to support that project. FWIW I’d buy one myself if I needed a new laptop. Might not be the solution for you, but I don’t think it’s worth discounting due to ‘Beta’ status!
That reminds me this one book I've read in my teenage years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunnels_(novel)

Two main characters were meeting after-school to dig a tunnel, although their motivation was a little bit deeper (sorry, I couldn't help myself) than just digging itself.
