That's good that it's default to decline. It wasn't always that way. In fact, overdraft protection used to be the mandatory and only option.

The reason that you have an option is actually not because of Chase's goodwill, but due to an Obama-era law that requires banks allow end users to turn off overdraft protection: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/obama-signs-sweeping-financial-...

There are some unfortunate and annoying loopholes. In particular, if you have a recurring, subscription based fee (instead of a typical debit card transaction) they can and still will charge you overdraft fees for that.
Stupid question. How do you close Preview without saving any of screenshots, images, and pdfs that have been opened?

No, what I'm describing is the "monadic" behaviour of `phrase_from_file/2` and similar predicates. In conjunction with definite clause grammars, this means that your I/O operations either conform to the provided spec or fail. This is a "hot topic" (if LP topics can really still be "hot") and sees active development in new prolog systems.

Similar tricks were used for poor man's SIMD in one 32-bit register before MMX, Altivec etc. You could for example do just one multiply RGB 5-5-5 bit alpha blending instead of 3! ("Cooked" / premultiplied alpha of course.)
Would love to see Google address scraping mirror sites such as gitmemory.com and algorithmic content farms.

I've been using Bing (via DuckDuckGo) for a bit and find that it's a little bit less gamed by these things. Perhaps because those sites are optimizing for exploiting Google's algorithm?
Ok, and what is the benefit of this over traditional supplements for them?
I find it strange when it's said in the US that universal healthcare is impossible when other countries have developed it. It's like if Russia had said after WWII that nuclear weapons are impossible and then proceeded to deny their existence.

What takes the boggle to the next level is suggesting that greater gun control measures in the US are impossible when they actually were the law within my lifetime.
For learning shell it would be neat for the inputs to be adversarial and unknown beforehand, so you learn to handle all the ugly edge cases properly.

Because the real reason for its existence seems to be to slowly kill open source, by not requiring hardware vendors to provide kernel/driver source anymore.
I have observed a few things.

-Obvious bot activity has increased, probably coordinated by troll farms warming up accounts then pushing public opinion.

-The Overton Window has slammed shut. Speech on both the right and the left has been massively curtailed. It has been decided from high up that the US population needs a cooling off period which makes all conversations quite bloodless.

-The real organic user base of people willing to invest in participation has dried up. Many niche subreddits that previously had lively and interesting communities and subcultures are now ghost towns. For example I follow some VR and travel subreddits where the participation has absolutely cratered.

My guess is that the above have scared off the high value users that drive novelty and engagement and that the whole platform is a shell just waiting to crack.
The line between work and play is not are clear cut as people think. Look at farming simulator games, be it the Harvest Moon style ones or the proper farming simulators. Look at trucking simulator games. Some programming games have problems harder than what I face at work. Many jobs can be turned into play by removing certain parts. It won't appeal to everyone, but the idea with an MMORPG would be to have many such possibilities and a player can have fun even if only a few matches with their preferences.
Also these institutions have protocols set up so as not to be able to see any “manager” at a given location. Hell in New York, it seems that a lot of inner city brick and mortar banking locations are becoming atm kiosks with maybe 1 or 2 employees there… not as tellers but instead to help with using the atms.
For line-in there is a minimum 75ms delay, which can be bumped up to 2s for poor environments.
OCR is one we've investigated but it's tricky to find the right API that is compatible with our local-first values. One customer tipped us off that the creators of Nebo have an interesting one. So we'll look into that.

Lots of folks use Muse together with Roam, Obsidian, or LogSeq just using standard OS tools like drag-and-drop. LogSeq example: https://twitter.com/itsjustmath/status/1527410705820839937

But I think there's a lot more we could do here with deeper integration--deep bidirectional links etc.

Yes, my thoughts exactly. If Google decides that it's going to revamp YouTube search to include spoken word/transcription matches, that would make VideoMentions Search irrelevant– and I'd be okay with that!

In the meantime, I think this is a useful free tool for quickly finding spoken word matches within specific channels.

Thanks for checking it out!
Great point. That said, I read the OP as complaining about the boom-bustiness of the world and modern life in general for everyone, not limiting the perspective to just one's employment, nor limited just to the perspective of if one is a software engineer. A stable job helps a lot but does not totally insulate you.
> Obviously many guns are not for killing people, [...]

This is utter bullshit. ALL guns are made for _killing_. It's irrelevant who - or what - is being killed. You can of course say the same about knives, but they aren't all the effective.

> The real question is how would you collect the guns from criminals...

That would indeed be a problem, but the priority should be to stop selling weapons to people who obviously doesn't need them. No one needs to own automatic rifles. Australia was able to deal with the problem decades ago.

> Criminals will still hold on to what they have, and such a law would only put innocent people at risk.

Again, utter bullshit. You are under the impression that criminals LIKE to shoot people, like they have nothing better to do. Sure, there will be killings, but criminals are also people; they only fire their weapon if they feel they have to.

If less people have guns, there will be less escalation of conflict. That's why we in Norway strive to have our police force not to carry weapons all the time; we know that if the criminals _know_ that the police they encounter carry weapons, then the criminals will also carry weapons, and people will get killed.

I think a better comparison is what similar apps would sell for. 2-4x annual revenue seems to be common. So $12-$24k which is not bad!
I enjoyed space-trading games back in the BBS days, but somehow MMORPG blew those out of the water because people will play 20+ hrs per day and skew the economies into country-sized alliances (`Eve` I'm looking at you). No Man's Sky sort of picked up on that, but it had too much going on. Maybe both of those games were the pinnacle of the genre and I just didn't have the patience, but it seems to me there could be something large-scale that appeals to casual gamers as much as die-hard farmers.
Cookies aren't part of the GDPR, so they must be part of the ePrivacy Directive.

Consent is part of the GDPR, but the way I've seen it operate in practice is widely out of compliance. You're supposed to ask for consent in each specific instance of data collection, not present a blanket approval, and default to "no."
The most famous resource is also probably one of the best. Practical Common Lisp, by Peter Siebel. https://gigamonkeys.com/book/

You can read it for free. But its such a good resource I bought a hard copy and keep it within reach at all times. I like to take notes in the columns, and mark up interesting things I know I'll have to review on occasion.

Last year Peter tweeted out a teaser that he might add some new content to the book, as there has been a lot of progress since this was written. But it is in no way outdated as is.
Go to any popular subreddit and click the "gilded" tab at the top.
At the top of this page it tells you how many months of server time "gold"s purchased in the subreddit paid for, you will be shocked.

I've seen subreddits with less than 50000 subscribers who had enough purchases to cover 3 years of server cost. /r/aww alone paid for 772 years of server time according to their calculations.

Reddit could go on indefinitely as is with no advertising.
I think the complaint isn't that one couldn't try different ways to manage the problem, it's that the system doesn't address it at all.
Often because they were poor.

My father hoarded all manner of stuff in the garage. It took me days of work to clear it out. And yet I basically understood why each thing was saved.

That chunk of metal was used to repair the car when the front quarter panel rusted from salt. That brass got brazed onto that fixture. Those were the washers for the kitchen sinks. That leather chunk repaired his briefcase. That stuff was used to fence in the garden. That stuff was used to stake the tomato plants. He held onto furniture from my room until I was out of grad school and needed it. etc.

We flat out didn't have the money when I was growing up to just buy stuff from a big box store (and they didn't really exist yet). If we didn't have the material, it didn't get fixed.

A lot of children didn't grow up like this. None of the younger generation in my family want any of the furniture. They have the disposable cash from their parents that they can buy something "new". I would have killed at their age for the stuff I now throw out. C'est la vie.

I think its a great achievement in itself but your post does push people in the thinking of 'i can just make a no work sustainable something as a service app and become rich'.

I don't think it works.

I think the best bet by far is either to optimize your job salary (switching after 2-3 years, being proactive, trying leetcode, persuing FAANG) or following FIRE.

$500 would be 5h per month freelancing.

And to be really fair, he would first calculate all hours invested and he needs to calculate/estimate further time involvment.

For creating your own small company/business, thats probably a doable thing but still much more high risk than anything else.
Very good. Congrats.

I made an app 2 years ago and make around 10,000$/month currently with it. Keep going!
Agreed. Subscriptions make sense if it's a "business" app, i.e. something you are using to run your business, e.g. Adobe CC, Office 365.

But this one looks like personal app, with little in the way of corporate functionality (Kanban boards, todos, etc). Why not charge a flat fee for 1 year of updates, and make updates optional after that?

I have the same beef with the makers of MindNode, a mind-mapping app for MacOS. It's $2.99/mo which is not much, but I chose to go with SimpleMind Pro because it was a flat 25 EUR.

Developers know the term "write once, deploy anywhere". How about "charge once, use forever"?
If you were going to phrase that the way most (inflammatory) articles talk about short term loans (like payday), you could instead say that you were charged 26% APY.
Very often people seem to just pick up the title and to tell the world how they relate to some key words without even having a look at the article. Since a couple of weeks I regularly check the HN RSS feed to see what was posted; I would consider myself part of the original target audience of HN but find more interesting stuff in the RSS feed than on the front page; from that I conclude that the audience has changed.
Symbian did everything better than iOS and most things better than android. At least it could do a lot more than any of these. Symbian had 'push' email (i.e. email that would just arrive, like it does now), whereas at least with iOS you had to check for it, it had MMS (I think neither iOS or Android had it), backrgound apps, tethering, data connection over Bluetooth and in general, BT could be accessed from 3rd party apps for whatever purposes you wanted (this took quite a while for iOS), etc.

Except for two critically important features: user experience and developer experience. (Actually, the first version iOS/iphones didn't even allow 3rd party apps.)

It was a classic case of market disruption: a product (well, two products) inferior to the dominant, incumbent product in almost every respect gets a few things right while missing the mark on just about everything else. And the funny thing is that we'd bean hearing the term "disruption" for years from managers when they talked about strategy. In just about every meeting. They kept quoting Christensen, saying "we have to be disruptive" and even that didn't prevent the company from being disrupted big time. Now don't ask me how we would have been supposed to "disrupt" as the largest incumbents, the market leaders, but it was obvious that the management was not willing to take the required chances. (Hence they stuck with Symbian, despite what should have been obvious to anyone with a decent knowledge of software development.)
Yeah, but that's not an option according to the article.

I was banned from the Go issue tracker for mysterious reasons[1], so I cannot continue to nag them for a fix.

[1]In violation of Go’s own Code of Conduct, by the way, which requires that participants are notified moderator actions against them and given the opportunity to appeal. I happen to be well versed in Go’s CoC given that I was banned once before without notice — a ban which was later overturned on the grounds that the moderator was wrong in the first place. Great community, guys. ↩

What happened to "don't be evil" I wonder? (And I know, it's that Google has now become a big grown up corporation)
You can always come to the less technologically advanced country and haggle all you want. I'm in one of those countries right now, and believe me, it's a lot worse when you actually need to do that every time you try to use any service.

After moving there I've started to appreciate a decent, frictionless, fixed price service a lot more.
Try limiting players to 60 minutes per day. In the BBS days this worked because you got two TURNS per day. 24/7 access is what kills this sort of thing, IMHO.
For 4 - worth checking out Squad. 50v50 matches with quite a bit of realism baked in. My favorite moments are getting setup in advance where the enemy is likely to advance with a trusty MG, going prone and just waiting for them to run into my sightline.

While having quick reflexes is always a benefit, positioning and teamwork is more important in Squad.

Finding a server with consistently decent squad leaders is definitely important to get the most out of the game. If the squad lead isn't talking for more then a minute or two, leave and join another.
Yeah, truly an unsolved problem. Obsidian seems to have found a good path--free for the core product, $10/mo (standard price for prosumer apps) for sync.

But we felt like sync is a core feature and we really want to give it away for free so that people can experience it. Time will tell if that was a good call.
If you're pulling down a packge with npm that isn't part of the npm registry, the request isn't going through a Microsoft proxy.
Yes, accidentally sharing a capability is a leak. If I accidentally printed out a capability it would be 'leaked' and anyone who reads that capability now has obtained it an dcan use it.

> you can in principle forge a URL in a way that you could never forge a file handle.

Maybe it would be better to not talk about fs apis, because they're not really capability based, so I suspect that's the confusion.

The point is that if someone has a capability, they have that capability. There is no additional access control or checking in a capability based system. You absolutely have to consider things like rotation and revocation.
One of my favorite things in the world is learning a new software tool. I never do digital graphics or art, but I've spent hundreds of hours fooling around in photoshop because learning the tools, keybinds, workflows, documentation, etc is super fun.

Recently I found out about a very old piece of automation software written by 1 guy in India in like 2005. I've been using it to write botting scripts for a video game and its incredible. The documentation is purely 5 minute youtube videos where the developer types in notepad and clicks around the tool. Exploring the quirks, using it in uniqiue ways... really brings me back to being a kid with my first desktop computer. I'll never forget learning to dual boot linux, and now I'm in that same stage of discovery and awe. Everything is a puzzle of things I don't undstand and I need to be patient and creative to achieve what I want.
I think they are right not to obey robots.txt in this case. If I tell Go to download a module it shouldn't follow robots.txt because I am a human and I requested it. This is similar to if you had private iCal URLs on your server the right think would be to deny them in robots.txt (in case a crawler found a leaked link) but a service that is monitoring a specific iCal calendar should still fetch it.

Basically robots.txt is more about what should be crawled than how. In this problem it appears that the traffic is desired in general, but it is being done far too often. robots.txt does have primative rate limiting configs but that seems to be a minor part of the file.

Of course like anything there is nuance and there is definitely some middle ground between crawlers and humans.
I would check out Astronomer.io. Just recently came out with a new managed service that specifically targets these exact pain points.

Something is worth reading because it was presumably hard to create, and mostly only people who really have something worth saying will do the work. If things are easy to make, there will be no proof-of-work, so to speak, and the market will be flooded with people wanting to have readers who still believe most of these kind of things are worth reading. Once people in general learn that these things are now mostly utter crap, people will stop giving even the rare worthy ones the time of day.

This can be applied to zines, books, computer games, web sites, etc. With ease of creation comes a cost.

It's not really about the word 'suggest'; the subtitle touts the chemical analysis, but the stronger evidence seems to be the structural analysis.

They analyzed several shards found in the same area. They found traces of sulfur, mercury, and oil on several of them. Most of them are concluded to be some sort of medical or perfume containers, because they're fancy. One of the shards is plain and thick. That's the one they think could have been a grenade, because it's plain and thick like ceramic grenades were.
That’s not really a “but” to the comment, which was that you need to find one bug and it’s game over. We’ve known for a long time that best practices aren’t enough to prevent memory corruption in large enough C++ code bases, so it’s likely a motivated attacker would eventually find something.
I don't know of another way that reaches the same security model as secure httpOnly cookies, which are the recommended way to do session cookies.
Or, the point is addressed to adults, who are interested in understanding history per se, and assessing the veracity of specific claims (like, "Haiti's underdevelopment is attributable to these reparation demands").

It's not addressed to the simpletons who can't escape childish black-and-white thinking in which reality doesn't exist outside of the ammunition it provides for taking sides.

Tldr: it's ludicrous to hear the claim "reparations weren't responsible for Haiti's underdevelopment" and conclude "OH so you think the reparations were good??"
If the rate limit is high enough, and pooled across all matching requests, you'll get different effects depending on the (global) concurrency, which might be tricky enough. And it might lead people into the right direction anyway.
This is one reason I'm bullish on some of the new UI frameworks coming out of the Rust community in particular. For example https://github.com/iced-rs/iced looks quite good.
The next version of C will have twos-complement only. But that has nothing to do with overflow being undefined; you could make it implementation-defined if all you cared about was -magnitude and ones-complement representation, or saturating arithmetic.
