Reason is bullshit, the opposite is true. They could literally start taking delivery tomorrow, which is highly unusual when ordering an airliner.

The real reason is low public confidence in Boeing in China due to the MCAS incidents and other recent disasters.
Thinking that gitlab is any more secure than Microsoft when the NSA comes knocking isn't comforting. There is no way to know. But really, is your code and access that much of a secret to the government, and if it is, do you really trust "cloud" hosting?

IMHO, Microsoft is absolute trash and their reputation isn't great, but since buying Github there have been very good improvements still being made to Github (CI.. though slowly, UI, etc). Better than being bought by Salesforce......
In usa it is very easy to get prescribed. Obviously you would need to lie about your non-prescribed use but if you’re willing to get them illegally that shouldn’t be an issue.

There are prescribers online. Even with no insurance it’s about $5/day after paying the doctor, counselor, and prescription (using GoodRx coupon)
For lots of modern cars, the users phone is a key, and the car itself is connected, so you could also theoretically share and compare gps location during the unlock attempt.
First, I use and love TaskPaper so I'm interested in what you've got going on. But on its surface, I don't see the differentiation between the two products right now other than Bike having slicker rendering and TaskPaper having more utility. It seems like TaskPaper is a competent outliner that supports focus and other features just fine. Can you comment to what the goals are that separate them?
I managed to get some GPUs at MSRP over that period and as I got something a bit faster over that period, I would sell to defray my upgrade cost.

I tried to restrict to US buyers to try to get it in the hands of someone who just wanted to play games.

They went to US addresses as my shipping restrictions and other exclusions required, but I unexpectedly got dinged for “International Fees” by eBay.

So I dug in as to why. When I checked the shipping address in Google Maps, they were warehouses. Googling again, known freight forwarders.

From what I can ascertain, one likely went to Qatar, and the other ended up in Uzbekistan. The accounts that bought them were quite old, not new, and had extremely high quantities of feedback. Based on the absolutely extreme auction end prices ($1540 for a 3070!), I wasn’t surprised in the end. The buyers were clearly extremely well organized and had exceptionally professional communication.
I'm considering that same switch. What things do you find Fastmail does better? Is there anything at all you miss?
Yep. Pretty much nothing created after 2015 is an actual cryptocurrency. It's just the normal finance scammers dressing their scams up with cryptocurrency buzzword camo. It hasn't been possible to organically grow a cryptocurrency from the vulnerable starting state to usefulness in nearly a decade.
Then you'd be back to the 'availability' thing.

Indeed, it's even possible to be genuinely happy for someone but still feel inferiority and discouragement when trying to compare aspects of one's own life with others.

It's great that not everyone struggles with that, but different people struggle with different emotions. Maybe we can all agree that whatever their nature and whatever we call them is beside the point, (I think) that social media engagement optimizations have notoriously exploited these effects as they relate to our attention and habits, taking many people on an unwanted emotional roller-coaster ride for arguably unhealthy amounts of time.

Having been involved in Legal blacklining pissing matches before, probably not between two equal parties. I think the legal terms are as much as a part of the negotiation as the price - "If you want to be indemnified against X, we will have to hire a team to do Y and that will cost an extra $Z" "You want to use our name in publicity, that means we pay Q% less" etc etc.
Ask HN: How to deal with well-intentioned PR comments?
Our team just got a new (senior) team member. He's nice and he knows a lot. Our codebase is not the best codebase out there (we know that), and we do mix certain best practices from here and there (clean code, separation of concerns, solid, DI, modularization, etc.)... but we are far from following "by the book" the most popular practices our there. This fact doesn't slow us down and we pretty happy with our current "architecture" (features are pushed fast, bugs are fixed in an isolated way, performance has scaled nicely, etc.), and we are certainly open for suggestions on how to improve our codebase, of course.

Now, our new team member suggests in PRs things like the following:

- "let's rename that class to X so that it includes the suffix Y because of reason Z". This suggestion makes totally sense... but in our codebase our classes have already a certain naming convention that doesn't go the way our new team member thinks is best.

- "following SOLID principles, class X should be splitted in two because of reason Z". Again, the suggestion makes totally sense, but if we follow it, it would make class X a snowflake in our codebase.

The worst thing is that our codebase is not in a bad shape, so his suggestions, while definitely well-intentioned and correct in most software engineering books, lack context and would make our codebase not necessarily better. There is, of course, the possibility to refactor our entire codebase to follow the best practices out there, but we think that will give us little to no benefit (also, it will take time and it will be hard to argument this kind of decision to management because, as I said above, it's "working fine")
I would suggest to start by taking a pen and paper and just brain dumping onto the page. It doesn't have to be structured in any way, just your general thoughts on the project and what needs doing. After this it shifts the brain a little towards the project at hand.
Early in Bike's development I did try a few solutions, but I want Bike to work on somewhat big files. See (https://www.hogbaysoftware.com/posts/moby-dick-workout/). Anytime I loaded such a file into a sync solution everything blew up.

I find this claim misleading.

First, the article starts off by picking examples from YAML 1.1. But the YAML 1.2 spec officially made YAML a superset of JSON. It was published in 2009, more than a decade ago.

The article later does mention YAML 1.2, but it claims that it isn't compatible with JSON either because YAML 1.2 documents are required to have a %YAML directive stating its version. Except, that's not what the spec says. The actual spec states that documents without a %YAML directive should be treated as YAML 1.2 [1].

Actual economics professor here.

This is a partial list. Any specialist in any subfield of the discipline could list a large set of open problems. Nearly all have broader significance.

In my own specialty (industrial organization) unsolved problems which would be of interest to readers here include optimal regulation of platforms and two-sided markets. Theory and empirics are difficult, so regulators are to some extent fumbling in the dark a bit. It is not at all clear how to regulate (for example) Amazon’s offering its own versions of products sold on its marketplace OR what the right tariff Apple should charge for access to the App Store is.

Extremely confident claims that such behavior is permissible or should be forbidden are likely unsupported by any careful analysis one way or the other.

an unjust world where some nosy stranger decides "intergenerational wealth is bad" and "everyone is fed, housed and educated" takes precedence over you working towards your children or your children's children's future because they feel justified in using political oppression to take what you've earned for your family.

Not sure what kind of dystopia you're setting up where politicians will always use the greater good of everyone else to justify any actions against individuals.
The problem with economics is that every problem becomes a wicked problem. You just can't test your theories in a controlled manner. And everything has confounding factors.

Outliners are used in this area for decades. What we have now is just a new hype-cycle, with new apps, new technologies and a new mix of features.

I was a heavy TiddlyWiki user in the past but moved away from it precisely because of its singe-HTML file design. Modern browsers like chrome made it virtually impossible to save an edited page. Not TW's fault per se, but ruined my experience with it. There is a way to install TW-5 with node.js as a directory tree but my ship has sailed. Now I am a happy obsidian user.
Hacker News is social media
I also appreciate local copies and created a seedbox recently. Torrents still seems better for TV. But I delete shows after I watch them so no need to have such a large amount of space for media.

> People were never gonna pay for a browser

People were paying for browsers. It was the norm before Microsoft gave away Internet Explorer for free, which sort of killed that business model. Even so, well into the 2000s there were still browsers that you paid for (like Opera)
Correct. You’ve discovered one of the many disadvantages with cryptocurrencies relative to traditional finance.
I haven't paid for 90-95% of the content I consumed in the past 12 years. I've never spent a cent on it.(and I used to spend many hours watching new movies/shows every single day+Music+AAA games)

Nice!

Do you think you could add support for pandoc to export to other formats and import things?

Another option --- possible to set it up so that each node is a text file (or other file format, see pandoc above) and they are grouped using file directories? The nifty Tombo notepad worked thus, and I found it really nice for keeping notes --- for bonus points, multiple files in a directory which have the same name would show as a single node, but have a toggle at the top to select which file extension one is viewing, w/ an option for "all" which expands them so that one can see all of them.
I'm 39, this is for reference (in case anyone reads this).
I got into programming because I was a gamer (year is 1998) and I built my clan's website (they're called teams today) by copying this other cool dude from another clan. He was my mentor. It took me so long to do what he did, what he told me was - "if you want to get it done, disconnect". We used modems so disconnecting was normal and easy - if you unplug the telephone wire, it's a hassle to get behind the PC, plug the wire, go through the whole buzzing etc, gist being that even if you want to "just check what's new on forum" - you give up due to hassle.

This "technique" stuck with me. Want to get it done? Disconnect. And then came the era of Facebook and other sites where people shared their pictures, opinion, thoughts etc. as if anyone cares about their everyday lives. I'm from the generation where you never shared anything with strangers online.

And then, it turns out, people get hooked to this whole infinite scrolling business, being occupied with content they don't care about. They can't disconnect. And when you don't disconnect, you're distracted.

I tried Facebook. I hate it with passion. I don't want to write about myself. I'm not interesting to myself, let alone others. I like privacy. I don't care what my Facebook friend does, why don't they do it without having to archive it? There's many things that are way, way too odd to me when it comes to social media but I understand it's like a multiplayer game to a teenager - it's something new and there's a lot to explore, heck you even connect with certain people on a certain level.

I've never seen a social media user who was not impacted by negative content. For some reason, human turns to negatives before they do to positives. And that's what global social media is - the outlet where a lot of people let out their negatives. That's what makes me unhappy. To read about flat earth, then getting tangled in endless explanations on why it is/isn't flat. It's the people who are stubborn, unreceptive, just waiting to share without trying to receive.

Not everyone had mentors or difficulties in connecting to the internet which gives them the means to moderate the usage of it. Being exposed to a huge amount of information is dangerous, I've seen people become sloppy because they need to read / consume fast so they can move to the next thing which MIGHT be more interesting but they don't know until they try to read/consume it and the cycle continues.

So yes, I wholeheartedly agree without any facts and based purely on my subjective impression of social media - that it's something that makes me unhappy. It does not mean it should or does make someone else unhappy, but I for sure liked the internet when it was more difficult for an average human to use it.

I've written about Bike's relationship to TaskPaper here:

https://support.hogbaysoftware.com/t/how-does-bike-relate-to...

I think core summary is:

1. Wanted to control own text editor. Building off NSTextView was limiting
2. Wanted to use structured document format. Plain text was limiting
I'm too lazy to look at the code that does the alloc, but if this came my way in a PR I'd ask if the code doing the allocation is using malloc or realloc.

If all allocations are performed using realloc[1] then I have no problem with that macro.

[1] Sometimes it's just easier. Why conditionally call malloc/realloc when you can simply call realloc all the time? Realloc(NULL, size) is equivalent to malloc(size).

+1. Many times the real value an attorney brings is working with the client to tailor the template to their situation and needs. Most parties try to mainly use standard terms, e.g., shipping Incoterms, and language that has been litigated in case law (if in the US) so that the parties can better understand and estimate the likely outcome of any dispute. However, each situation is usually slightly different. Even if we ignored any unique aspects of each contract, each template would have to be tweaked to reflect the unique and changing case law (if in the US) of the jurisdiction governing the contract.
It's hardly exclusive to FB. Legislators are terrified of passing laws that might "break Google", so to speak, and they can't regulate what they don't understand.

It's the least assuring part of the current cabinet and dashes hopes that GDPR-like recognition of human privacy and data rights will ever be discussed. Yang must have been a horrifying prospect to the tech oligarchs to broach these topics to the nation in broad daylight.
Nice article, and happy to see it on the front page!

QBasic was very impressive for its time. It feels as if we lost that kind of integrated editor sometime in the 90s and are now only coming up to a similar level of integration... at a much higher cost. QBasic's interface, integrated help, debugger, etc. were a joy to work with (similar for Turbo C++, etc.) And the same applies to Visual Basic later on, although that's kinda out of scope for what we are discussing here.

Anyhow. I also wanted to mention EndBASIC (https://www.endbasic.dev/), a little project I've been working on and that tries to recreate a similar BASIC and MS-DOS hybrid environment. (Spoiler alert: it runs in the browser as well as a desktop app so it's trivial to test it out!) The end goal is to be able to write games like Gorillas and Nibbles -- and so far I got a pong clone running, which means it's getting pretty close to that goal! I'm currently working on adding some needed features, like... user-defined functions, a better type system, and the ability to run publicly shared programs with just a URL. So stay tuned for more :)

Pattern Matching and List Comprehensions
Reissue of a popular article from the archives of PragPub magazine, January 2011 by Bruce Tate on pattern matching and list comprehensions: https://medium.com/pragmatic-programmers/832b406b77d2
Hm, good point. (It's implemented as a Once (which is an atomic usize) and an UnsafeCell for holding the actual data.)
And while using SyncOnceCell normally might incur some small checking overhead on each access, you can use it to obtain a &'static. https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=nightly&mode=debug&editi...

But then, by tialaramex's logic, isn't it just as bad as Box::leak? (Maybe not quite as, because it can leak maximally one thing. You can't do this in a loop.)
Companies exist within systems that are more than just "pure capitalism", and whose individual-level actors (who often hold decision-making authority) are motivated by more than just "maximizing company returns". The free market is not some independent force of physics, it's operating in a highly complex, multi-factorial society with individual actors and competing forces. For instance: I have seen people lobby for hires - yes, including two instances of appointing board members - based on personal associations vs. a sober-eyed review of qualifications (guess which gender typically benefits?).

The idea that "if it was better the market will make it so" may be right in the fullness of time, but we live in what is effectively a zero-sum society when viewing the present. Patience for the long-tail of change advantages the already advantaged.
This one is too small to have a larger effect on the market. Only 2% the size of Terra UST
Folks, nothing has been said by the commenter that is non-factual. Please contribute to making HN a space of curiosity.

The commenter didn't even take a stand on crypto vs fiat. The market isn't scary. The stock market also halts trades when things get rough.
Lawyer here also (though not actively practicing) and I agree with your thoughtful comment about. I’ve negotiated lots of commercial agreements, and it’s surprising that lawyers still spend time redlining basic things like severance clauses, integration clauses, etc. There’s no real benefit from much of the back-and-forth. It’d be great to have trusted, open source “standard legalese” terms. That way the parties could focus on the contract’s meaningful parts and say something like “This Agreement incorporates by reference the Standard Legal Terms at xyzterms.org.” And of course you could have different versions for various states and industries.

That's a somewhat popular term already. It was especially useful in the days of shareware/careware and close-source freeware distributed largely on CD or dial-up BBSes. You'd buy a CD with 650 MB of content, and depending on the publisher it might be 1/4 or 9/10 just crap.
