Well, nevermind anything nefarious, life can throw unexpected things in the mix too. This Old Tony was similarly away for a while recently (now back) after a family member died. I imagine it only gets more difficult to return too, once people notice and maybe you see them asking in comments, on Reddit or HN, etc. 'where' you've gone, and start to feel some need to not only return but explain your absence.

I check occasionally for new videos, I enjoy them and hope there's more to come, but I don't need to know 'why', it's none of my business, and he doesn't owe me anything. (I'm not a Patreon supporter, that apparent change is a bit different of course, perhaps just a mistake as you said.)
Ask HN: Mobile app for shared home budgeting?
Do you have any recommendation of a mobile app for shared home budgeting?

My criteria:

* Runs on Android

* Shares budget / synchronizes data between two users (my wife and I)

* Allows to break expenses by categories

* Simple to use, not too opinionated (I don't need a dashboard like a Boeing 747 since I'm not trying to run a Wall Street hedge fund; I don't want to be forced to assign an "envelope budget" upfront for every single category, I don't need nor want integration with my bank accounts, etc.)

You'd think these requirements don't set the bar particularly high, and yet it seems surprisingly hard to find an app in the Play Store that ticks all the boxes.

We've been using Monshare, which is far from perfect (buggy, doesn't work offline even in the most rudimentary sense), but it would mostly do the trick at least. Unfortunately, the creators have abandoned it without any warning: the API is dead, data is inaccessible, user support is off.

I've briefly tested several alternatives so far, but unfortunately all of them suck in one way or another (Spendee, iSaveMoney, Money manager, Money Manager (sic), Money Lover, Wallet, Jointo, YNAB, Yona, Bluecoins, Walnut, Finances).

Is there some quality app that I'm missing? I believe there might be - it similarly took me a while to find a perfect TODO app that didn't look like a Java desktop app from 1990s and was actually pleasant (Memorigi), maybe I'll see some luck with this one. As an Android dev myself, I feel tempted to write one, but as a newly dad, I don't really have much free time these days.
What totally enraged me about this is that the policy was apparently introduced long after I created my account. At some point when I switched to Gmail, I set up yahoo to forward to it. This worked for years. Then this policy kicked in and from one day to the other, the Yahoo account was deleted. No warning was sent to the Gmail address beforehand. There wasn't much going on on the Yahoo account anyways, so I only noticed it much later. I have an old YouTube account that I signed up to with that yahoo address that I can't access anymore, and not do the recovery process because email.

Easy, just recreate that Yahoo account right? Wrong, to suck even more, yahoo now only offers new Email accounts on their .com domain. Mine wasn't on the .com domain. But existing accounts on the other domains still work fine, so they need to keep up that infra anyways.
Someone actually made a documentary about similar situation - The Rise and Fall of Ryan Howard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qc35afiM2f4
This stuff is foundational to things that check for program correctness. For examples type checkers check if the program is type correct. The foundations of these checkers rest on the content of these pages.

It goes even further then this in the sense that with logic you can design a language with correctness checking where even the logic of your entire program can be verified via something similar to a type check. So for example, Agda or Idris are examples of languages with this capability.

So basically most of this stuff isn't relative to most job. It's a higher level thing. It's more advanced theory for the people who create the tools SO you can do your job. A step above Dev Ops... it's the people who create the languages you use.
> Because we have seen endless waste and corruption in our central planning, I no longer want them running or planning anything. If there was even a single government service that made even a semblance of efficiency and effectiveness then perhaps that one could remain. But overall it’s been an endless slide to shittiness in our public institutions.

Citation needed on this FUD.

Any "slide" is more likely due to punitive funding cuts in agencies like the IRS or due to corrupt leadership (including some presidential appointees) at agencies like the FCC. If anything, the Biden administration has been refreshingly high-functioning in its basic capacity as the executive branch of the federal government, regardless of how you feel about his public statements or policy agenda.
Mh... Composite materials are very nice for many small/easy-to-replace usages, because they have excellent performances but tend to last far less than "solid" materials (sorry I do not know a better English terms) and they are harder to check.

I do not like much the idea of using them for something else...
I don't think it's different. When shooting sporting clays, in which you call for the clay and then move the gun once you see where it was thrown, I miss when I'm putting in too much conscious effort. I hit the target if I'm letting muscle memory take over, trained over tens of thousands of rounds.
Let me get this straight: You own $150 worth of clothes, and $105 of it comprises socks (I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that they are the white, crew kind?). With $45 worth of 'clothes', I'm assuming you have boxers and such, which probably take up another $30. Do you even wear anything other than boxer, undershirt, and socks? I mean, unless your comment is pure hyperbole, I am having a difficult time visualizing your wardrobe! In fact, no matter the distribution, I am still having a hard time understanding how you make do with a $150 wardrobe. Do you wash your entire wardrobe literally every day? If so, does it last longer than a year?

As long as they keep blocking 99% of searches coming from TOR, any announcements about how much they protect privacy are a farce at best, deception at worst. They do their very best to leave us no place to hide, then carve out a few exceptions of their choosing for what they deem should be permitted activities.
Bebo: Run Clojure Scripts on Deno
I ditched React/Redux for Vue 3 & Pinia and my god, what a world of a difference. Everything is intuitive and I am not googling days to fix tooling issues, or having to do it the React/Redux way which was honestly overly engineered and non-productive.

Frontend shouldn't be complicated and we've been lied to, you are not Facebook, you don't have billions to throw at engineering, you must pick the path of list resistance
Great insight, this makes a lot of sense. And on top of this, it SEEMS impressive. You made a whole framework! Wow! Plus there’s a chance of widespread adoption—-so, well-defined goals, fun to work on, seems impressive, potentially very high payoff. No wonder there are so many.
You are probably right.

There are several governments known to operate this way. Vietnam is a notable example. They always drop some feelers before enacting policy.
Ideally, you would like to have a specification of the system that can be translated into C and TLA+. This way it is harder to introduce bugs - it is hard to compile conditional or arithmetic operator differently in different places and it is trivial to do that manually.

If your budget allows, it is worthwhile to invest into translation of C or TLA+ code back into specification code. This way you may run specification checks again against backtranslated specification. And you can do that process to a fixed point where nothing changes, neither (back translated) specification code, nor code generated from specification.
I minimize Tylenol intake just like I minimize new drugs entering my system. And no the idea that one uses Tylenol that they should also use actual psychedelics is completely dumb.
This is great, thanks.

Now I'm on a 3.1k calories diet and some days I run out of ideas and I just don't know what to eat. I won't follow the full meal plan but there are some good recipes there that I'll definitely use.
Pretty sure you and I debated "vanilla Redux" vs RTK in a thread a couple years ago, but I'll link my most recent explanations of why RTK is the right way to use Redux today:

- https://redux.js.org/introduction/why-rtk-is-redux-today

- https://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/2022/06/presentations-mode...

Also, note that RTK has a new "listener" middleware that simplifies the process of "run this code when some action is dispatched". You can certainly still write a completely custom middleware if you _want_ to, but the listener middleware handles that work for you.

With the risk of sounding rude i am not even sure why austria is part of this debate as its totally irrelevant on the tech scene.
What could be the risks if collecting such data without consent is illegal where I live?
That generally prevents epidemics, yes.
It's not that easy. Lots of Amazon's profits come from countless unprofitable startups blowing VC money on AWS. Google is swimming in money because numerous companies have generous ad budgets. Apple relies on people exchanging their smartphone every year or so because why not.

You cannot expect these things to go unchanged if the Fed stops throwing money around like it's used to. And if it doesn't, a bag of rice will soon cost $1000 because we have an shortage of farm workers and an oversupply of wellness bloggers, influencers and administrators.
Technology exports and the buying or licensing of American IP I guess?
Virtue signalling is about the intent behind the action, not the action itself or its results.
I'm not saying you're not correct wherever you are, but it's important to recognize that there is a significant cultural aspect in this. In the US, you would be entirely correct: talented people don't go into the government and thus the public sector is filled with subpar employees. In many EU countries, the government has more prestige, thus it attracts more talent and so it works better and gets more prestige. It's a feedback loop in both directions.

I can point to a great many effective government services in my own country in western Europe for example.
You play video games for long enough and the symbol of "llama" wears off and it starts to become a symbol of "crafting ingredient for this recipe I need" and then later on it becomes "a series of button presses on the road to a speed run goal".

The callousness is not against the animal. The callousness is against an uncaring mathematical system he wants to get through and towards his own goals.

He doesn't see llamas in the real world as a mathematical abstraction, nor does he see human ownership of animals as arbitrary developer code.
Hm. I see it exactly the opposite way:

A template renders the same every time, given the same input. Rendering a template is like a function. It encourages people to put their logic elsewhere (separation of concerns) and first get the data they need, to only then render the template. Templates are merely views.

A web component in contrast has internal state, which it mutates, or at least can have internal stage and often does have such. Also it relies on global state, which is accesses. It seems to me like a step down from preprocessed templates, because state and behavior are lumped together again and because of internal mutating state. The view layer is no longer cleanly separated.

In practice the resulting DOM often is more convoluted and styles are defined in less obvious ways ultimately on the website. It makes writing user stylesheets and user scripts harder.

You can re-use web components, but realistically every projects adapts or writes their own component anyway and you can only re-use for the same framework or one based on the framework, for which the component was written. Re-use of components seems even less than it was for "my classes from the other project" in OOP, because not only does one have language specific classes, but framework-family specific components.

While not directly necessary for web components in general, I also find that syntax annoying, which mixes some kind of HTML look-alike with JS blocks inside of it. Kind of a reminder of PHP outputting HTML, which contains PHP blocks, which output JS, which modifies HTML. It is also annoying, because now I have to learn an HTML look-alike, which has new rules about what may be nested into what and those rules do not always make sense. I cannot nest as freely as in real HTML. What I write in a web component is not what ultimately gets output, but instead if will be translated at the end of the process. In a template I would simply write my HTML and compose them in such a way, that I have separate templates for semantically separate things, enabling re-use of templates. It is easy to do and the code is real HTML, no need for any indirection of translating a look-alike into ultimately HTML again.

Seems to me, that many lessons of the past have been forgotten.
"Competitive" is highly relative. It might not be competitive to you, but I'd rather have less money and save a ton on not having to use a car, and not paying thousands of dollars for each hospital visit when I had cancer.
There is no meaningful resistance to proof of stake in Ethereum. Users, devs, etc all on board. It has been part of the roadmap for years. Changing consensus is not a light upgrade for a blockchain. The chain needs to maintain 100% uptime in spite of the switch.
Googler here.

We have very strict and very well engineered data retention systems. When we say data is deleted, we mean it. Various levels of automation ensure the data is purged, and all data is tracked meticulously for violations across every datastore.

It's one of those systems I wish we talked about more -- it's a marvel to behold just how much work goes into retention policies and the automation that drives it.
> Would the malicious wi-fi service be able to supply a phishing version of www.somewebsite.com that also uses https

Yes it would. But a browser would show a giant red warning.

The real issue is many protocols, like DNS, are not encrypted.

Also if you're a developer chances you use a non encrypted protocol are much higher.

Abstractions have nothing to do with their names. They are not good/bad based on what they are called. You might be conflating metaphors/analogies with that.
To bring up an issue relevant to Google and tech, this was my main criticism James Damore, and why I thought Google had grounds to fire him. The First Amendment gives him the right to write an incel-inspired manifesto if he wants to, but the misuse of "average" for political purposes makes him look like an idiot and discredits other work he might do. In his manifesto he argued that the average male is better suited to computer programming than the average female. How is that in any way relevant at Google, which only hires people 4 or 5 or 6 standard deviations away from the norm? Average isn't relevant. Bringing up the average in situations where the average is not relevant is a common mistake, but it is also a very stupid mistake.

How is it any different than the standard “Exceeds expectations/Meets Expectations/Needs Improvement” rating system that most companies do?
It was just part of the roadmap back then. It wasn't an imminent upgrade for which there are live testnet merges being conducted.
That's not true at Google though. Google has a systematic user data removal architecture called Wipeout and Wipeout integration is a required checklist item for product launches. Wipeout compliance is systematically monitored by a central privacy group. I've worked at a bunch of companies and only Google has an organized, universal scheme for user data privacy. Everywhere else in my experience is just winging it and has basically no idea what's going on.
> Considering Higgs barely published anything for decades after ruination might not be so bad.

I'd have never suspected that fame might be a correction to slow progress or discovery. I believe that, in general, fame is a solved problem, but the solution is not available to everyone. Why or how could a professor have an apparatus and plan and staff in place to deal with the challenges of fame? But I think it is a crying shame that just the detail of extreme popularity ruins the work. Even if Professor Higgs had already produced most of his work, as a species and society, everyone and everyone that comes after is hurt by denying him the ability to work and produce, and others before and after him. When will Beatlemania end? Why don't we, collectively, have restraint, have the ability? You'd think as a species by now we would have evolved some kind of completely invisible and odorless biochemical pheromonal response that tells all other humans, "leave me alone, I'm busy." Instead, it takes a staff.
Does polars have N-D labelled arrays, and if so can it perform computations on them quickly? I've been thinking of moving from pandas to xarray [0], but might consider poplars too if it has some of that functionality.

This are some nice pics you shot there!

I ran into some situations were a lens shorter than 24mm would have been nice, and some where something beyond 300 (400 on a DX body) would have been nice. 20mm prime lenses are cheap enough, the telezooms not so much. Currently my preferred one is a Tamron 150-600 G2. Weather sealing is nice, and the Sigma Sport is just too heavy and large, especially since I mostly shoot handheld / without a tripod. Funny so, that the Tamron is much less available used than the Sigma Sport.

And if, if, I had 14k free budget to burn on a lens I would still burn max. 1k on the elns and the reminder on travelling to nice locations where I could use said lens. But then I am no professional.
Absolutely true, but learning things that hard way was worth it to me. Plus I am old-fashioned enough to like doing things on my own hardware and not necessarily wanting to share my data/code every time for reasons of security or modesty (as in embarrassingly basic). I do like what Colab offers and appreciate having all that processing power/infrastructure available.
I pay for a lot of content nowadays, less and less of it on the web. I spend far less time on the web than I used to, and life has become better.

The web is just not a very good medium in general and unfortunately the promise of web search has turned out to be just a chimera. Conventional methods of research or specialized search engines are more time efficient. The only thing the web is good for is cheap stimulation, and even for that it isn’t very good.
If there were one company who I trusted to delete shit correctly, it's Google. There are already loads of other laws that they need to comply with that require unrecoverable data deletion.

Look, I agree Google has tons of flaws, but these types of conspiracy theory "bet they're not going to really delete it" missives don't even make sense if you consider Google's incentives. It would be a gigantic, massive blow to Google if they said they were deleting data and they didn't. There is literally 0 reason for Google to do this. When Snowden's revelations came out, Google was furious and they rearchitected basically all of their systems to encrypt everything at rest and in transit.
Ask HN: I’m 41 and still unmarried – what should I do?
Since I was a little girl, I’ve dreamed of falling in love and having a family of my own.

By most cultural standards, according to my male friends, I’m smart, beautiful, fit, kind, emotionally mature and doing meaningful work in the world. Not too needy and not a workaholic.

Over the last two years I’ve been on over 120 dates with men I’ve met online - a few I met in person - in 3 different cities .

I’ve deeply invested myself in therapy, support groups, meditation, dating coaching, yoga and hypnotism.
I’ve tried bumble, tinder , Eharmony, hinge, coffee meets bagel, Thursday, Match, speed dating as well as a few other random apps.

I’ve asked my friends to set me up .
I tried to crowdsource a husband on Facebook.

I’ve read and done the exercises in Calling In the One, Love Addiction, Datonomics, Make Your Move and If the Buddha dated. I’ve listened to every episode of Girls Gotta Eat.

I’ve gone to CrossFit and hung out at steakhouses. I’ve dated every profession you can think of from doctors to electricians and unemployed guys.

I even moved to Austin because I read that’s where there was the highest ratio of educated men to women, thereby improving my odds of meeting a marriageable man.

My time for having children is running out.

This has always been my dream and I’m willing to try almost anything. I was raised by a single mom and I really want to have kids with a man I love, not do it on my own.

So, are there any love hacks I could try?

Please encouragement only, no discouragement. I’m discouraged enough already.
It’s unclear where these companies are in The Netherlands. Probably restricted to the Randstad? Haven’t really seen the mentioned salaries ranges outside Amsterdam
This is a VERY charitable reading of the GP’s post. They mention beating “people” not companies and talk about “the kind of devs that can move around.”
Not this time, I don't think. America had a good run though.
I see no real reason why public transport must be necessarily profitable. It's a common good that tax payers enjoy. You'll have profitable legs, but you'll also have legs that are used by a few folks from a village who need to get to the city once a week, and those will never be profitable. A private company would probably not build there.
This is a bit misleading, because on £120k salary the employer has to additionally pay £17k of employer's NI which comes from your salary budget. So in real terms you make £137k and your take home is about 53% (and it's get worse as your pay goes up as you are losing personal allowance and your take home quickly becomes less than 50%). It does not account for Apprenticeship Levy.
It's a quite nasty way for the government to hide the true level of taxation from employees.
Of course it is. Now let's discuss the Chesterton Fence: When did they start subsidizing it, and why? In the US, remember that Eisenhower sold the interstate highway system as a defense item. After the firebombing of European cities, after Hiroshima & Nagasaki, and with the potential of the cold war turning hot, doesn't it make sense to "nudge" people out of the cities--to de-densify the population centers? And with the current geopolitical situation, such considerations are pertinent as ever.
I think there's something called Rent the Runway that offers this, for women. Then there's Stitch Fix, which is basically a kinda-sorta personal shopper who will pick things out for you (but within a very restricted set of vendors and price points).
I thought the standard language was "Cadillac/Set of Steak Knives/You're Fired."
