I moved from LastPass to Bitwarden a few years back. Bitwarden does win a few kudos points for being free and open source. Unfortunately, Bitwarden is far from perfect either. It suffers from glaring UI problems which the developers have point-blank refused to address, insisting instead that that is how it is supposed to work --which is incredibly arrogant and 'Jobsian'... "You're using it wrong!"

Yeah and some distros even come with Libre Office bundled in. In all my time using it, I’ve never run into problems apart from some tiny edge cases like not being able to use Windows-specific fonts like Impact etc But you can install Windows fonts in Linux for that situation.

Then there’s ChromeOS Flex where you can open any Office document and edit and store in the cloud with Google Docs. There’s really no excuse for using Windows for office stuff anymore.

I mean to push back a bit on this -- they have a pretty intuitive GUI that they've open sourced for working with the database at a less SQL-focused level. It isn't exhaustive but for basic things like adding / editing columns, or database policies, it's pretty nice.

That's not to say there isn't room for improvement, but if you look at the github issues on all their repos, and the commits that have come out in the last few months, it's pretty clear they're pushing the way you want them to go RE simplifying the more complicated pieces down to manageable chunks.
Excel is my Swiss army knife. I started using Lotus 123 in the late 1980s to automate data input via the serial port from scales, pH meters and such in a PCB shop. Also used it for editing Gerber drill and router files. Later, I used Excel with VBA and Sysinternals utilities to manage desktops and VMs. I still use Excel weekly with a barcode scanner to track household stuff.

It's unlikely we'll discuss revenue numbers unless we ever decide to go public.

Financial privacy has little to do with democracy and at the extreme would be its antithesis. Absolute financial privacy would mean that moneyed interests could quietly buy any legislation they want and the public would be none the wiser because the funding/bribe would be untraceable and unknowable. See Citizens United[1] for an example of how extending human rights to money has negative consequences for democratic society.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_United_v._FEC

Edit: I don't get why financial privacy is consistenly presented as a win for the "little guy" against "the man". The "little guy" spends most of his money on necessities and pays moderate to low taxes relative to other parts of society. The parties standing to win the most in a world where any transactions can easily be kept private are those that wield a lot of money, a lot of power, or both. Consider Nancy Pelosi's insider trading and how hard it would be to discover/prove if those transactions could be kept private.
Yeah it's quite the opposite actually. Taken from the excellent preso linked above:

A piece of Internet culture I miss dearly is the FatWallet Finance forums, which had an ongoing thread called "kinship proceedings: what can go wrong": https://web.archive.org/web/20171009102701/https://www.fatwa...

When Rakuten finally shuttered the forums I think the thread was about 13 years old; it was about a minor estate (mid 7 figures??) from someone who died inestate being divided up among an extended family, complicated by a random multi-year pause in the proceedings while no lawyers did anything to advance the case, and by the periodic appearance of purported long-lost relatives.

I have no idea what happened there and I'll always wonder. I do see that one of the bureaucrats from the thread was in the news ( https://nypost.com/2013/06/29/administrators-mishandled-more... ).
Unless average tastes rapidly swing, that shouldn't be an issue. People only need so much in the way of spices and condiments, and there's plenty of space to grow them in.
Slightly tangential but I've worked for several companies now that use `make` as a simple command runner, and I have to say it's been a boon.

Being able to drop into any repo at work and expect that `make init`, `make test` and `make start` will by convention always work no matter what the underlying language or technology is, has saved me a lot of time.
I love asdf but the one thing that bugs me is that running `asdf install` inside a folder containing a .tool-versions file won't automatically install the plugins needed to install the tools mentioned in that file. You first have to install the required plugins by hand[0]. Makes it very annoying to use in CI/CD pipelines.

Visidata 2.9.1 Released– Excel/CSV/JSON/SQLite/Parquet in the Terminal (TUI/CLI)
I'll say it again, Visidata is one my favorite new CLI/TUI tools over the last few years. It makes it extremely easy to explore/modify structured data in the terminal.

In the 2.9.1 release, they added support for:
- window functions listing values from around the current row.
- XDG support for config files.
- new loaders for Apache Arrow (IPC and streaming) and parquet formats
- Ability to quickly browse zip files on the web.
- And even some support for Windows users. Though I usually think of this as mostly a *nix terminal based tool.

It can still load and view many different types of file formats like csv, usv, lsv, json, Excel.

This fundamentally untrue:
“But, Kubernetes was originally intended to act as a container orchestration platform for stateless workloads, not stateful applications.”

Even from the early days, there were constructs to allow stateful applications to be built on top of it.

They have made it easier to run stateful applications, but to say it wasn’t designed to support stateful applications is incorrect: https://kubernetes.io/blog/2016/08/stateful-applications-usi...

“Stateful applications such as MySQL, Kafka, Cassandra, and Couchbase for a while, the introduction of Pet Sets has significantly improved this support.”
Thanks to reintroduction of deep subsumption we could finally update IHP to the GHC 9 series. So really happy about the recent GHC releases :)

If you're curious about Haskell, IHP is a good starting point (https://ihp.digitallyinduced.com/ https://github.com/digitallyinduced/ihp). IHP is Haskell's version of Laravel/Rails/Django. It's really a superpower to have Haskell's type system combined with the rapid development approach of Rails :) (Disclaimer: I'm founder of the company that makes IHP)
Two things I'm confused about: (1) with everything going on in your life, why do you seem to be using income as a metric of success?

> Great feature, but cloud providers are incentivised to make it difficult for people to save money.

Every business is incentivized this way. Competition is what pushes prices down, of which there is plenty in the cloud industry (though maybe still not as much as we would like).
I dunno, the "declarative-ness" of `make` is a pretty important component of its usefulness. In particular, the property of `make`, wherein the structure/details of the computation is implicit in the provided configuration and invoked command rather than being explicitly written down somewhere, is central to its utility, since the alternative of just writing a shell script is anecdotally a much less popular option. If you want to propose a more appropriate word to describe such a property which is less buzzwordy, feel free, but in the context of "why does `make` have such enduring popularity", I think the article's author is being quite reasonable in bringing it up.

Wow thank you for reading it. I really appreciate that.

I am enamoured with RockSet's converged indexes. They solve the problems of WHERE queries, columnular analytic workloads and row based iteration of data.

I think we tend to look at data is being relatively static and don't denormalise as much as we could for performance and data locality so we bear with slow Microservices and distributed systems with lots of IO. Once data is in Postgres you don't shift it to other machines that often.

I think the next step of distributed systems is key rebalancing and key SCHEDULING. I plan to design a system that shifts data to create nodes where particular queries are fast with data locality due to that server having all the data needed to fulfil the query. Autoshard at Google is interesting too. It requires denormalisation and data synchronization. I am looking at multimaster postgres or writing my own simple synchronizer. But it is eventually consistent.

I also have implemented multiversion concurrency control solution and an early raft implementation that needs to be added to a server. I tend to build components then plug them together. I am looking at Google's spanner and TrueTime.

I shall look at your solution.

How do you avoid the duplicate copying of data with a single copy of the data? How is it columnular or indexed by value?

I did above. Fees/assessments that were not part of your sentence get added/imposed after the fact. The sentencing guidelines get changed AFTER what you are sentenced for occured, yet you are sentenced to the 'new' sentencing guidelines sentence, not the sentence that was called for at the time of your offense. There is a whole legal class called 'collateral consequences' that are punishments it would be inconvenient to be called punishments. They are instead 'collateral consequences' that don't fall under ex post facto and are then 'legal' to apply after the fact. Imagine that, an entire type of punishment defined as not a punishment to skirt the Constitution. The courts don't see the constitution as their guiding principle, but as bugs to try find workarounds for.
> The PLA has literally robots that can obscure and destroy US satellites without launching missiles at it

This is 100% speculation.

The only thing that China has demonstrably done is blow up satellites. It would be unsurprising if this tech was in development, but nobody has any clue whether there are non-kinetic satellite neutralization weapons deployed.
Pans that aren't non-stick can be made far less sticky by not adding anything (except maybe some fat—oil, grease, lard, butter [ghee especially], et c.) until after they're hot. I think it causes phase-changing water in whatever you added to kind of push the food off the pan. You can see this in action by dripping water onto the pan—when it's hot enough, the water will ball up and kinda dance on the pan, while lightly sizzling (that's the lowest point at which it's OK to add food and it probably won't stick much—hotter and the water will sizzle aggressively and may evaporate too fast to really evaluate its behavior, of course, and for most purposes this is too hot to add food anyway, as it'll instantly burn the parts that touch first)

This makes very low-temp or delicate cooking in non-teflon pans a lot tougher, of course. Or anything for which starting from a low temp and slowly increasing is a nice thing to be able to do (tempering chocolate, for example)

[EDIT] Basically the value prop of teflon pans is that they can do just about everything at least well-enough (if not always being the best possible option) with just one type of pan, and that they are much more forgiving of lazy/untrained use or mistakes than stainless or cast iron. They can't do much that's impossible elsewhere, but it may require better technique and closer attention, and maybe having multiple types of pan, if you don't have a teflon option available. The above is one of the ways in which you have to apply some extra care and technique to avoid bad results, which can be all but totally ignored if you're using (undamaged) teflon.

Their main down-side (any health concerns aside) is that they are easily damaged by hard tools. With stainless and cast iron you can scramble your eggs with a metal fork, in a pinch, and it'll probably be entirely fine. Do that in teflon and you'll ruin the finish before long.
Generally, from teams we talk to at Coherence (withcoherence.com), it seems to be a mistake to try to run stateful workloads in Kubernetes. As much as the cost savings compared to managed services like AWS RDS or GCP Cloud SQL are attractive, the configuration time and maintenance are just not worth it. Our perspective is that container orchestration tools should be used to manage stateless workloads, and that stateful workloads should delegate to managed services where volume reliability, scalability, and backup can be handled with purpose-built tools.
> I’m not saying you did this, but many people deliberately distort that into “they wanna take all your guns” in bad faith.

Well, who is “they”?

The majority of activist organizations arguing for restrictions absolutely have an end-goal of banning all guns.

Claiming “we just want common sense gun laws” is a far larger bad-faith distortion of the truth than “they wanna take all your guns”.

Gun laws proposed by these organizations only go one way: more restrictive.

Centuries-old 'hunger stones' resurface from riverbed as Europe faces drought
I used to work at G, so my view is based on that. The three key infrastructure services that handle this for you are: Colossus (scale-out distributed filesystem), Chubby (lock service), and Spanner/Bigtable (scale-out databases). All three of these handle concurrency for you, and as long as you are okay accepting their concurrency models, you basically get the hard parts of a distributed system done for you. Of these three, only Spanner and Bigtable have similar competitors that are publicly available.

On top of those services, Google also has distributed systems that handle higher-level things like authentication, and they have libraries that help you do things like load balancing and load shedding. To top it off, the monitoring available is top-notch, and there are lots of administration tools that allow you to make sure that your service and all of your customers are well-behaved.

Ask HN: Startups Freenode IRC channel was lit now what?
Hello all,
When I started to follow ycombinator back in 2012(maybe) I used to chat with people in the startups channel on freenode.

Overtime I slowly stopped using IRC.

Is there a active chat for startups with the same minds that where always in the startups freenode channel?

It was helpful to get instant feedback on ideas or have in depth conversations about business.

Discord, Slack?
