I've been using asdf for awhile because it's was good and much easier than having a language version manager for every language I was using. Asdf was always pretty good, but I'd sometimes see slowness and starship (my prompt) would occasionally complain that the shims were taking too long.

As languages that I'm using are starting to adopt their own version manager (rust/go), I'm left using asdf pretty much exclusively for node and my eyes wander to some of the node-only tools like volta and fnm which use rust and I wondered if people were watching performance. Glad somebody is.

> The next question is, how would you get the second layer of github flavored markdown fluff (latex, mermaid, etc), that is generally not standardized, to be supported in browsers as well?

Don't. GFM should stand for "GitHub Flavored Markup", since that's how people treat it—yet another markup language, which they find more convenient than other markup languages. The "Markdown" as it is used on GitHub and the people who author it abandoned the premise. Markdown was intentionally designed so that the "raw" form of a given Markdown document is supposed to be a valid way for humans to consume it. That's not how Markdown is used on GitHub, however; no one pays any attention to the readability of the raw form. It's just another input for their compile-to-Web pipelines to suck in (or for github.com to render as substitute for a project landing page).

I wan't happy with any of the existing tools so I started writing my own using https://github.com/andygrunwald/go-jira

JiraCLI seems to spend most of its code budget translating in between CLI args and JQL; that's the easy part.

Because every org uses Jira differently, it seems hard to write a generic tool that works well with your org.

No. There must always be a paper trail.

I used to teach web programming. One of the exercises I had for students was to create a ballot box.

The first step was making it work as expected — accept votes and only display a count when “Election Day” has ended.

Then, I suggested constraints — code it so your preferred choice always wins; make it so the vote totals check out (don’t just add an arbitrary to the preferred total); make sure the margin of victory never triggers an automatic recount, etc.

That opened a lot of eyes, especially for beginning programmers. If they could do it…
My dream is either what you're describing here or a company like BareBones (of BBEdit) making a data crunching app with no formatting whatsoever. People send me large spreadsheets all the time and Excel (at least on a Mac) has a hard time keeping up.

> enforce abortion restrictions through civil lawsuits

I wonder how long it will be before SCOTUS kills off these attempts to use civil litigation to end-run the Constitution. The Texas law matched the court's ideology, so they let it stand, but now that Roe is overturned I expect the court to dispense with the law before places like California can use it to render the 2A moot.

If they let this continue, the court will become irrelevant in a hurry. They may have granted themselves sweeping authority a long while back, but that can be changed easily via legislation.
This isn't just the arrest of a developer expressing his freedom. Its the arrest of a developer who was knowingly part of a group of people who had the intention of deploying code (via smart contracts). The deployment of the code facilitated activities that were claimed to be illegal.

The headline is daft.

Class is both mutable and is definitionally about acceptable and unacceptable behaviours.

Race and sex are neither. They're not comparable at all.

Classism isn't "discrimination" in the same sense because you're directly attacking a behaviour rather than ascribing group dynamics.

Tried hiring a local goat rental to tame my parents' yard, the guy on the phone complained about "this thing called a living wage" that he has to pay his workers. He won't take jobs less than 10 acres or his business runs at a loss. Many cities need regular plant clearing, though, so by reliably selling services to local city and county governments, his business will never fail.

I thought this was actually not that great of a write up, although it's from the perspective of someone who has never used it. I've used it off on and on for a few years now, but never as my main OS.

The install process the author describes (in virtualbox) didn't sound right. When I install it, I don't need to reboot then use sysinst...I use sysinst during the install process to install pkgin, add a user, config my network etc, etc; then when I reboot and login I can config doas/sudo to my liking and start installing binary packages via pkgin. It's all pretty straightforward in my opinion.

Later on, the author compares installing net to arch and gentoo. I find NetBSD much easier to install both of those.

Something else that irked me was describing NetBSD as "not like just another linux distro." well, of course not, it's a completely independent OS!

I did agree about the documentation, and about looking for help online. In my first experience using Net, googling isn't really useful for more complex problems. You can find help on the mailing lists, unitedbsd.com, and reddit, but a new user wouldn't know that. Free and Open have better documentation, and linux has countless online resources. But net's problem re: documentation is just a question of manpower.

It's not a perfect solution to your problem, but you can simplify multistep calculations with LET. So it would be:

LET(X, A1, Y, X*2, Y+1)

I just checked and the Evaluate Formula button can sequentially step through a LET. Though this doesn't give you intermediate results you can use in other calculations.

It seems as though the authors of this paper were vocal critics of the government response to Covid-19, and faced the full "obsessive" wrath of criticism (although, unlike many others, they don't seem to have lost their jobs).

Instead there's a scary deprecation warning when a package uses setup.cfg, which is another declarative replacement for setup.py.

And some pyproject.toml features are still experimental per the setuptools docs, so I'm not sure which method to choose for our internal projects.

I'm glad the setuptools/pip/Python devs are cleaning up the packaging situation though. pyproject.toml seems perfect, when it becomes ready.

Yes, obviously if you increase revenue and/or create new, valuable service opportunities, that’s more valuable. Merely changing the form of existing revenue: not valuable. Getting the same cash later: not valuable. So now we’re back at this point, which is perhaps obvious, that if you sell something with value, it could be valued by “Wall Street.” There is nothing counterintuitive or non-obvious worth pointing out here.
Related question: Do you trust voting by mail?

Some reasons to maybe not trust it:

- The mail can be gamed. Say, stop delivering mail from areas that politically lean one way or the other.

- There's no check on who voted. We get ballots for children who have moved out of state. We could vote several times, if we chose to (and were willing to break certain laws to do so).

Like digital voting, it doesn't really matter whether this happens or not. It matters whether people think it happens, and whether you can prove that it didn't. And it's going to be impossible to prove that someone didn't vote for their kids. Under current conditions, it's going to be impossible to get either side to think that the other side isn't willing to systematically break the rules.

NestedVM was another early attempt (2004) to run C, C++, Fortran, etc. on the JVM, but at substantial performance degradation. This was a clever hack that ran a Java coded MIPS emulator and loaded a compiled binary into a large array. Performance was 20-40% of native speed, but still fast enough for some applications, such as SQLite as a JDBC driver.

Website, source repo, and paper seem to still be available, try archive.org for dead links:

Amazon is not an average stock, nor is Bitcoin an average crypto, as measured by returns. How many people can pick the next Amazon? Probably not very many; instead they choose to diversify into a fund that tracks a larger portion of the market due to their uncertainty. The S&P 500 is a far better indicator of stock returns. A total market fund is by definition “stock performance”. Bitcoin has thus far FAR outperformed that.

That is not to say that it is going to continue, but that it will continue is a very common fallacy in investment. And by that metric, Bitcoin wins by a mile. The S&P 500 is up 407% since January 2009. In that same time, Bitcoin is up 20,000% or more (I cannot find data before 2013, giving stocks a 4 year head start).

>family member's terminal cancer

Yep, I lived this and it really woke me up. The day my dad died my boss called to ask "your going to be in tomorrow right, since you don't have to take care of him anymore"

Not to mention things like "are you sure its terminal" "Do you know what terminal means? just checking maybe you didn't understand the doctor"

To a company you are a number and nothing more,treat them the same. The people in charge got there by ruthlessly focusing on that fact. Trying to get sympathy from work is like trying to explain to a debt collector why you can't pay. They don't care at all and never will, everything you say will be used against you and they are hoping you will slip up.

Its as pointless as a mouse trying to debate a hungry cat as to why he should not eat him.
This is a common misconception. Not all rust code is thread safe. You can use and implement types like Rc which are !sync. What rust enforces by default is concurrency safety. For instance iterator invalidation is something which can occur on a single thread, but rust prevents it from occurring. Of course rust can enforce thread safety as well, but you're allowed to write code which is not thread safe. Contrast this with c++ where it's hard to know the context in which your code will be run so you may end up preemptively making it thread safe, like in the case of std::shared_ptr.
I use protonmail for email hosting, with a personal domain name, and the city I live in (which in turn uses Microsoft for hosting their email) always has my emails sent to spam, so I have to call every potential email recipient and have them individually whitelist me.
Sure, now try to open a CSV that has line breaks in some cells (which is something basic and that follows the CSV spec) and tell me if Excel is still cool.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2668678/importing-csv-wi...

It is literally impossible. The best solution is "Import it in Google Sheets and export to Excel format"...

Excel is powerful, but it is not cool at all, the UX of even basic features is awful and some of the most used functions have annoying behaviors (VLOOKUP when the data type of the 2 columns is not exactly the same for example).
I don't know. Open-source for simple things such as how to talk to a database is overly crowded. It is not as simple as "have a free product and people will come" any more which may be true 10 years ago.

Agreed. If someone argued that geology began in the 1800s and neglected to mention Eratosthenes’ calculation of Earth’s size 2000 years earlier, I’d hardly say they’re showing an anti-Greek bias.

In this case it’s more likely either ignorance or a different definition of “study”.
You’re using SES as a proxy for cultural factors. My uncle immigrated to Toronto and never managed to get a real job. He tutors kids in the local low income immigrant community in math. Those kids are prepping for standardized tests. By contrast, my wife’s mom lives in a lower middle class city on the Oregon coast. Most of these people have been in America for 200+ years, and they’ve been poor the whole time. They don’t study for the SAT. I’ve been utterly shocked at how blasé they are about their own economic status. The folks like my wife who are exceptional leave and go become high SES somewhere else. Many other kids are smart and just dragged down by the local culture.

I don’t think we understand structural poverty. I think in part that’s because we focus on income alone, and race, but not on factors like subculture. The secret to unlocking the mysteries of structural poverty involve figuring out why white people in Oregon or West Virginia are poor while folks like Mormons managed to build solidly middle class societies despite persecution and moving to the middle of nowhere.

>I'm not sure what "proper tables" would look like

This is the third time this has come up on Hackernews in the past week.

Excel lets you designate a specific rectangle of cells as a named "table" (this is not the same thing as a pivot table). Each named column in the table automatically gets its own named range, which belongs to a namespace of that table (rather than the global namespace). A table will automatically expands its bounds when you insert data into cells immediately bordering it. Inserting a formula into the first row automatically fills-down that formula into the entire column. There is special syntax for referring to rows, columns, and ranges of columns within a table. Look up "structured references".

They are very useful. They make big spreadsheets tractable and maintainable. Think of them as mutable, expandable, reactive dataframes. If you're dealing with inherently tabular data in Excel and you're not using the tables feature, you are doing it wrong.

LibreOffice Calc and Google Sheets do not have them, to my endless bafflement.

Even if there is people who want that, that doesn't justify it. Privacy has limits, and there is some really bad people using crypto to transfer assets. Banks are required to report suspicious transactions, so working around banking laws by using crypto is clearly breaking the spirit of those regulations. If an individual wants privacy, there is a more standing if they do it themselves, but when a third party gets involved, they must follow the same laws all businesses must follow. You can't code yourself out of legal responsibility.

Now if you don't think banks should be required to report suspicious transactions, get that law changed. But circumventing the law with crypto isn't the solution.

And taxes are kind of proof that the government has a right to see ones personal transactions. You can't have income taxes without verifiable income requirements and reporting.
> Classism isn't "discrimination" in the same sense because you're directly attacking a behaviour rather than ascribing group dynamics.

You can't make up a definition just to suit your argument either. There is an article and you can question its definition but within the context of that article, classism is deemed having a negative connotation, which it does anyway whether you claim it doesn't or not.

Classism is absolutely discriminatory, by the very definition of the word. Accusing somebody of classism is derogatory.

The whole point here revolves around the question of whether being against fast fashion is akin to shaming poor people for not being able to afford more expensive clothes thus classism.
OK, fine, change the example to... imagine there are a hundred restaurants in town, and the police come and arrest one restaurant owner. OP is the guy saying "they're coming for the restaurant owners!" and I'm the guy saying "Well..." etc.

My point is, there are a lot of people on HN who seem to think any arrest or prosecution of anyone who is involved in crypto is due to a shadowy push by the establishment to maintain control of the money supply and thus our lives. I'm trying to point out (1) there are simpler explanations, and (2) if you keep trying to defend everyone involved in crypto without knowing the facts, you're going to get burned and normies are going to be a lot more skeptical about crypto in the future. Just... be careful, guys.
