I feel like it depends on what we want to call an app subscription. I feel like most people I know from my parent's generation pay close to $1,500 a year on TV cable service alone. Considering how much of the author's spend is sports and streaming services, that feels fair to consider TV cable in this context.
Right, association just means you find two things together, not that one drives the other.
Anecdotally, I know several folks who got retina MacBooks when that was new (2012 or so?) and had to switch off of Firefox. For a while it didn't render correctly, and then once it did the performance made it unusable for daily driving.

Trying to be different, or just very fond of your own sense of how things should be?

Perhaps there's something else you'd really rather be doing and all this is displacement nest grooming behavior.
Plus there is a strong argument from Coase. Firms, he says, exist because negotiating jobs at this granularity would be to costly.
That's Orwell for ya. Journalism background.
Just felt like a bit of an overreaction to me.
I didn’t know this was open source! Thanks.
Photos and statuses are nice, but not essential. Though conversely, I'd say that getting tracked online isn't really a big deal either.
An Aeropress costs 30€ and makes better coffee than most coffeeshops. You can learn using an aeropress in 10 min.

Good coffee is typically 30€ per kilo and easily available everywhere in speciality stores. Heck, most supermarkets here even sell acceptable coffee.

You really don't need to spend thousands a year for good coffee.
I don't get it. Everything you said applicable to the parent's suggestion as well. What exactly are is your point here?
Interesting point, that lead me to finding this article about the French translations. [1] Ironically, until 2016, the German government also used copyright to prevent republications of his book. [2]

Welcome Mqtt2TelegramBot
Hi, I'd like to talk about my Telegram [@Mqtt2TelegramBot](https://t.me/Mqtt2TelegramBot).

It gives you a flexible way to add notifications to your project (e.g. IoT-sensor readings, CI/CD pipeline status, anything which is capable of making an HTTP request)

The bot allows you to generate a private API for sending messages and configure the types of notifications you are interested in.

Under the hood, it uses MQTT (HiveMQ) in order to decouple event producers and consumers.

When you subscribe to a `topic` of your choice the bot automatically generates an API key for you and returns a CLI command to send a message to the `topic`.

You can manage subscriptions directly from the bot with `/sub`, `/list`, `/unsub` commands and review the CLI commands used to send messages with `/httpie topic` command.

The bot also supports sending images.

Please check out the [repo](https://github.com/zjor/mqtt2telegram) and the [website](https://zjor.github.io/mqtt2telegram/) for the details and the integration snippets.

Let me know what you think of this!

Happy messaging!
Google’s now relying on developers to provide app data collection information
> Bad new days: go to a poor country, plant your flag on their intellectual property, demand tribute and export it back home

Wait, aren't the content companies offering things they made outside the new market? Or are they somehow locking up the poor country's content producers?
It is kind of a conundrum. The Mozilla situation seems clearly to be self serving and crippling the potential of the browser. The CEO's pay exemplary of that - and similar situations are there with brave. The founder was forced out of Mozilla for a reason, but setting that aside, the liberty they took with collecting crypto for businesses while those businesses were unaware put me off of them in a profound way. The niche the browser itself fills is obviously good but the methods seem... off, not malicious intent, just questionable. Changing the ad economy isn't bad for example, a great driving motivation.
> IMO the main selling point of WASM is its predictable performance.

Not once in my entire life have I heard anyone say this

Almost always its either about it being faster or so they can use a language that isn't JS. And both are those have dubious value because I seen wasm be slower and people complain a lot about lack of tool support. Which is why the other day I claimed very few people use it. I seen many try it once or twice and not want to go through it again

You might have to forgive them, if they’re talking about their folks with the ear marked “20 years” they’re likely old like me and think that means 1970. Us old folks tend to think “20 years ago” means 20 years before 1990’s. It’s a common mental flub.

That would make the inflation value closer to $0.38 in today’s money. It’s not a lot, but when you’re getting almost 8x the amount for each can, it adds up.
Maybe this doesn't make any sense, but when I write a blog post, I don't necessarily want lots of people to read it. My blog is primarily for me, the public nature of it just forces me to think about what I'm writing a bit more, and try to articulate my thoughts better.

It seems that the main reason you'd post to a "blog platform" rather than just your own website or some GitHub pages thing is to get more people to read it, so I've never really been attracted to any of these things.
In the US, you can even earn at least 2% cash back with a free credit card and get the same breakdown and analysis from almost any bank website.
We're talking about cable TV content. Satellite (DirecTV) costs about the same. But, yes, now that I only have Internet from my cable provider, I also pay about $100/month for that.
I don't know why you are so combative and immediately used the opportunity to reframe what I said above into attacking a good reasonable problem that we would all like eliminated (the halting problem) but I'll ask you to stop because that's not discussing in good faith; you seem to be on the lookout to attack someone and I am seriously not interested in that.

Having said that: being able to disable / remove `.unwrap` and co. with a compiler flag -- as you seem to imply is the case in the Linux kernel branch of Rust -- would prove hugely beneficial to no small amount of library and app developers.

And guaranteeing no panics isn't that hard. Sure the POSIX standard and Linux in particular are vague in many places but I think it's fairly reasonable to be able to guarantee that a program that doesn't use filesystem or network can never panic just through dependency analysis (e.g. no API is used that can propagate a panic from the kernel).

How useful would that program be is another discussion entirely though (quite an amusing one at that).

My point was and remains that not being able to detect infinite loops is not indicative of the ability to prove that panics [due to system / kernel API carrying them over to you or just straight up blowing up your program] will not occur. And you seem to claim the opposite?
It would be pretty trivial to write an extension that does that.
I think banks should implement a feature where you can navigate to a tab on their website that shows you all repeating charges you have been paying for, maybe even giving estimates of total future cost. This would be very easy for them to implement. I have written to my credit union suggesting this.

This is one advantage of having an app-store manage my subscriptions - I am the person who forgets what all I am subscribed to.
Ignorance is bliss, I guess.

A good grinder alone is 675 dollars.
What do you mean "still?" They only released a few months ago, of course they're still worth it, not like they're outdated. That being said, I got the 16" due to wanting more screen space.
Huh. I assumed only smaller companies would ever make those sorts of carve-outs

Though, I also live in Texas. I wonder if it's required in states that have better labor laws?
Not much room to be upset when replacing just about any tax with LVT would represent a tax savings for the vast majority of the middle class (and just about the entirety of the lower class).
Is the inverse not true? If you interpret your family member's refusal to migrate from Messenger to Signal as them not caring about you, what does that say of your refusal to use Messenger for them?
These are open source apps, copycats are great and should be encouraged. That’s the nature of open source!
Calories is a great metric. Better than mass. However, what I really want to see is calories produced per a unit of time. It takes about 8 weeks to raise a meat chicken and about 80 for beef cattle. 1 Cow = 50 chickens.
I'm looking for something similar for a sales cofounder. Someone who could help validate and pitch Saas Ideas and get a commitment on subscription, before I develop the product.
Too many people believe in the superiority of Linux as an OS for software development that they would consider it beneath them to even notice Windows toolchains, and would then be flabbergasted by the idea of project templates.
How does defrosted buns taste?

I wish I could buy them one by one or two by two ... four seems like such an odd number of buns. What about families of 1,2,3 and 5.
It's an interesting problem and one that many decentralized applications will be forced to contend with, beyond simple airdrops. Many on-chain protocols and primitives simply don't need to differentiate between human user and program, but the ones that do are usually crippled if they fail to adequately do so. Quadratic funding mechanisms, for example.

I believe we're still very early on this front, there's lots of opportunity for innovation in terms of Sybil defense. Dox Your Customer is the easiest and naturally the most at odds with the Web3 paradigm, but there are others that make fewer compromises which have been tried with varying levels of success. Vouch networks/social graphs, attestation or reputation systems, video identity registries, recurring cost, time-coordinated Turing tests, etc.

I am certain novel approaches will continue to emerge until we land on something robust without sacrificing decentralization or the right to privacy.
I don’t think OP is interested in naturally and painlessly filtering out his family.
Historically when mega-corps buy Bungie they do it because they want exclusives. I'm not sure how much I trust Sony to act against their own interest with this new leverage.

>In 1999, Bungie announced its next product, Halo: Combat Evolved, originally intended to be a third-person shooter game for Windows and Macintosh.

>On June 19, 2000, on the ninth anniversary of Bungie's founding, Microsoft announced that it had acquired Bungie and that Bungie would become a part of the Microsoft Game Division. Halo would be developed as an exclusive first-person shooter title for the Xbox.

>On October 1, 2007, Microsoft and Bungie announced that Bungie was splitting off from its parent and becoming a privately held limited liability company named Bungie, LLC.

>In April 2010, Bungie announced that it was entering into a 10-year publishing agreement with publisher Activision Blizzard.

>Bungie terminated its publishing deal with Activision in 2019, after eight years; as per their agreement, Bungie retained all rights to Destiny and will self-publish future installments and expansions.

>Bungie announced a major expansion of its firm in February 2021. In addition to more than doubling its headquarters space in Bellevue, Washington, Bungie announced plans to open a new studio in Amsterdam by 2022.

>On January 31, 2022, Sony Interactive Entertainment announced its intent to acquire Bungie for $3.6 billion. ... Both companies stated that the deal would not affect platform availability or exclusivity for Destiny 2 but instead was geared towards media beyond video games that Bungie had been interested in pursuing for some time.

How much contribution does "electronics with non-replaceable batteries" add to climate change? 10%? 1%? 0.1%? Bringing this up when talking about climate change is like bringing up plastic straws bans in first world countries when talking about microplastic pollution (ie. ignoring the fact that half of microplastics in the ocean comes from fishing gear).
A problem in the past has been sometimes the app lags greatly behind the latest tor library releases which can mean missing security updates totally separate from iOS platform limitations.

I know it’s tough for one person to do this so it’s not a criticism as much as it is something to be aware of.
ABN Amro does this. Their app automatically groups expenses into categories and is able to identify recurring costs.

Become a web standard.
Which Java vulnerabilities are you referring to which require breaking bytecode compatibility?
I tried to launch something similar 9 years ago, rebaked.com. We sold the company 18 months later to a team that has since pivoted into a web3 offering.

If I were to do it again, I would pick a very narrow niche and have a few talented folks secretly working on the bounty side, full-time.

I do like that you have chosen to leverage GitHub for the collaboration operation. Best of luck to the team!
It seems that with this app, I could take my markdown notes and convert them all into a non-portable format. Not sure why I would do that, unless I really enjoy locking myself into a specific note taking app.
I find Firefox to be a superior browser and I use it Firefox on all my devices. But I would have used it even if it wasn't better, because I have lived through IE6 era and I know what browser monoculture results in. We don't need another browser engine monopoly.
I thought the parents suggestion was that the consumer pays 25 Euro and receive them back when recycling the electronic device. Like... a deposit on bottles.

I'm afraid this would have the opposite effect though. Instead of donating old phones or CD players, people would have them trashed to get their deposit back.
Thank you . I will try to get more sun although exposure also makes me dizzy lately. Hopefully it will make me feel better .
If they have the highest security requirement of any program, why are you using a closed-source implementation?
It reminded me of a youtube video were a chief was explaining how to cut vegetable quickly. One of the comment said: "I can cook diner with what this guy throws away".

Well years ago, I used to live an entire month on what this guy spend yearly on subscriptions.

I could now afford all this, but it still seems odd to me to spend so much on this.

I guess old habits die hard.
What do Greeks do with liver and hearts?
Making fast JS isn't some super-secret thing. Sure, there are weird cases like `x = y > z ? y : z` being 100x faster than `x = Math.max(y, z)`, but most performance improvements come from three simple rules:

1. Create an object with a fixed number of keys and NEVER add keys, remove keys, or change the data type of a key's value.

2. Make arrays of a set length and only put ONE type data type inside. If that data type is an object or array, all the objects/arrays must have the same type

3. Functions must be monomorphic (always called with the same parameters in the same order of the same type)

Do this and your code will be very fast. Do something else and it will get progressively slower.

Running the profiler in Chrome or Firefox is very easy and it will show you which functions are using up most of your processing time. Focusing on applying these rules to just those functions will usually get you most of the way there.
Ask HN: Business sale suggestions on management of capital gain tax
Entering into the sale of a business with a significant capital gain on both software and real estate. Any suggestions on best practices that have worked?

In particular, has anyone used either a Delaware Statutory Trust or a Deferred Sales Trust (for both asset types)? Or a Rule 1031 Exchange or Opportunity Zone with real estate?

I understand the whole Qualified Opportunity Fund (QOF) program is scheduled to sunset as of December 31, 2026, making any investment since December 31, 2021 unable to become fully realized with a 10-year tax-free sale. Is that true? Are there any work-arounds?
A number of credit cards have apps/websites with recurring charge trackers. As much as I love credit unions, they don't do 2-5% cashback, so it can be wise to stack recurring payments onto credit cards for benefits.
It depends. As you can imagine, a lot of the more practical books focused on specific technologies are going to be out of date within a few years at most. This is especially true the younger the technology is. Something like Lindy's Law (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindy_effect) probably applies -- the longer a technology has been around, the longer in the future you can expect it to be around. Things like C and SQL are no longer changing that quickly, even though they are still widely used.

That said, there are a lot of "programming" books that are more technology-independent and contain more "timeless" knowledge about the art and craft of programming (and more fundamentally, computer science). If you want to make sure that your purchases stand the test of time, look for those. You can find a lot of them by searching sites like HN, Reddit, and Stack Overflow for lists of the best computer science and software engineering books. A few examples that tend to show up on these lists:

- Bentley, "Programming Pearls"

- Kernighan and Pike, "The Practice of Programming"

- McConnell, "Code Complete"

- Brooks, "The Mythical Man-Month"

- Abelson and Sussman, "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs"

- Gamma et al., "Design Patterns"

- Fowler, "Refactoring"

- Kernighan and Ritchie, "The C Programming Language"

just to list a few off the top of my head.
Firefox also supports multiple browsers including the Android Password-Fill API. So you need to sign into your Sync account rather than your Google account but then you get a nearly identical feature set.

Plus it is all end-to-end encrypted unlike the Google one.
Yeah, I'm sure that money you're getting shorted is going to teachers instead of the owners pockets.
Tor node doesn’t necessarily mean exit node. I ran a non-exit node for years with no issues. It uses a ton of bandwidth though.
So?

Do you believe all the other places you get information from are unbiased? They aren't, every human being is biased, we're wholly incapable of being truly objective. The best you can hope for are sources who are open and honest about their biases. It's the ones claiming to be "fair and balanced" that you need to watch out for.
There's a potentially a killer feature of Firefox that justifies its use over Chrome: it seems to be impossible to prevent youtube ads from playing on Chrome while in Firefox just having ABP installed does the trick.

(this claim is based on rather limited testing so please correct me if I'm wrong)
In the early days of Java, it was bundled with the browser. But because Sun didn't make their own (popular) browser, they couldn't dictate the terms for what features a browser was expected to include.
We haven’t had runaway inflation like this in the US since the late 70s/early 80s. At that time it did indeed require interest rates higher than inflation to stop it. It took a fed funds rate of 20% to reverse 14% inflation.
It is, it always been, and it's getting worse, they will flag you for calling them out, here is the message they kept flagging on the pro american cloud act post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32093891

I recommend you check the original articles instead of this foreign propagandized website in order to forge your own opinion on the matter
You don't have to buy a washing machine every few years, and you shouldn't have to buy an iPhone every few years either. That's just consoomer nonsense. Washing machines of all kinds are repairable. Subscription software is different. It's closed source, and often times there's no way to fix it.

My Omnifocus 2 outright purchase for what is effectively a todo app bugged out in one of the MacOS upgrades in a way where it was still completely functional, except now there's a permanent grey box in front of the interface. I could buy a new version, but they haven't added or changed anything of value, and it costs more, so guess what, not buying it. I'd buy an upgrade for $5, maybe $10 if I really used it. That's digital capitalism. Subscription services, where you don't get access to anything if you stop paying, are even more disgusting.
Of course it is! It’s a fantastic device
Funny you don’t consider the shah a neo-colonial ruler. I wonder, who returned the Shah to power?

Like I said: those nostalgic for the Shah almost always are of an elite class that profited from status quo.
It's not a good question tbh (http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html)

If your question is about whether to wait for the next iteration see: https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#mac

As a general purpose machine for development / web dev, then the answer is yes, it's still worth using because it was worth using when it first launched and that didn't change.

Many guides come with instructions specifically for OSX including homebrew install commands etc. https://brew.sh/

The MBP 14' M1 laptop is a powerful, robust machine with great battery life.

If you enjoy that, first class support for all common webdev tool chains, and enjoy OSX, then it's still worth it for web dev.

An overlooked point is many courses and youtubers will be making videos using the same machine as you on OSX so it's good for that purpose as well (i.e. to learn and see the instructor using the same environment as you are.)
I think he made it a point to write like this. Check out his essay "Politics and the English Language".
>At $3/coffee (black, nothing fancy) purchased on average four times per week across 4.5 years of school, the total came to roughly $1,700

$3 x 2 people x 365 days = ~$2K

A decent fully automatic Espresso machine is ~$1K. You load the beans once per week, water every day, and run the descaling cycle once every few months. And these things are modular as hell: if you are not intimidated by reading a service manual and know how to get around with a multimeter, you can get replacement parts from specialty shops and maintain them yourself at reasonable cost.

And the best thing is, you don't need to go anywhere. You wake up, crawl to the kitchen, press the button and enjoy the coffee.
The conversation around this could benefit from more precise language.

Long lived immunity against severe disease, driven by the T cell response against epitopes that are generally well preserved (>80% for spike protein, ~98% for non spike protein) [1]

> What you realy mean is that you value more the convenience it offers that the price to pay for using it.

People should be more charitable.

They said that they must stay in touch with these people and that these people can’t seem to use other things. Often times you have to stay in contact with family members because they aren’t able to properly care for themselves. Those same people may not have the ability to easily change how they interact with the digital world due to mental health issues and you have no choice but to meet them where they are.
