I agree that from a developer's perspective and certainly in the frontend it doesn't make sense to show a positive user balance as negative. But to a finance team, cash on your company's books (debits) needs to have the opposite polarity of money that your users hold (credits). My underlying point is that it's really hard to make that the case without using the credits and debits language.

Indeed, in a way the author is saying that the meaning is independent of the text; which, in literary circles, was once hotly debated. I land on the textual side of the line; the medium is as important to the meaning as the abstract concepts that might be components of it. Multiple tellings of the same story carry different meaning, sometimes subtly, when they are each one of oral, text, photo, painting, or film.

I believe the same is true of programming. A solution in C is fundamentally distinct from a solution in ladder logic, or Haskell; even if they solve the same problem.
It was probably a reference to Brie de Meaux, which is a type of brie that only comes from France and is (I believe) illegal to import in the United States.
This is a great demonstration of a feature I feel is greatly missing from modern note taking applications like Notion.
Real French brie is unpasteurized, which is illegal in the US. See https://theculturetrip.com/north-america/usa/articles/fancy-...
Having it delayed by a portion of a second can never in any way shape or form prevent accidental activation as you don't have time to notice and correct the matter. It IS just enough to prevent several characters from being entered in the correct case.

Users expect actions to match the sequence of inputs. If the user can type CAPS and "TITLE" and get "tITLE" its a bug.

Basically 50 years of computer interfaces of all kids across all OS across planet earth use enter or return for activation. This includes Mac in all other contexts.

F2 to rename dates back to windows 3.1 with environments like KDE using the same key that is familiar to windows users. Like many things it is an arbitrary choice without any inherently correct answer. The nice thing about it is in dolphin is that one can easily discover this by right clicking a file or folder and noting the shortcut listed beside the action so you can both complete the task visually immediately and learn the hotkey easily.
Once upon a time, Google had unbelievable public trust.

In recent years, though, Google has become actively evil, and squandered that trust to the point that no one really trusts Google anymore, but since we allowed the big tech companies to crush their competition through both acquisitions and illegal trade practices, we have no real viable alternatives, either.

There is no good way out of this mess. This is why the FTC and SEC should never have allowed these companies to accrue this kind of power and control in the first place. Where is Teddy Roosevelt when you need him to bust up some trusts?

Great question. Fakes are a huge concern when it comes to the rarer ones. For example, this guy:

https://coins.ha.com/itm/byzantine/ancient-coins/ancients-me...

Sold for $216,000 because it's both the nicest known and there are only 7 known from Emperor Mezezius.

So the incentive to fake is high, but because there are only 7 to compare it to, experts would be able to spot the attributes of a fake pretty easily (even the best fakes always have some tell-tale giveaways).

If you want to read a super cool story about a modern counterfeiter, Google around for the story of "Omega Man", a contemporary counterfeiter who created fakes of some early 1900s gold coins that were SO good that people actually seek out and collect the counterfeits today (he, like many con masters, couldn't resist an ego spike and left a calling card on his fakes...)
Can you really consider the "mass market" to be a key to power for Pine64 with their current lineup of products, though? The OS hackers seem to be Pine64's only key to power right now. And does supporting them really consume extra resources that could otherwise be better allocated?
Sure but the critique was about Tesla having a touch screen menu for it.
> most people just don't like using computers and networking is scary

Yes and also I don't want another thing to maintain.

> but are non-technical people part of the customer base here?

Yes. I'm 100% sure that there are companies that use Tailscale that employ nontechnical people who need access to resources only available on the VPN.

> I'm just not convinced that the amount of work to set up wireguard is more than the amount of work to install and set up tailscale. Copy-paste IP and public key vs. download and login.

For you, maybe it's so simple it's not worth thinking about different options. For me, it doesn't make much sense. I've made a concerted effort to remove publicly accessible, self-managed infrastructure from my network. I just don't want to deal with it. I do not have a VPS to install a Wireguard server on, I'm not interested in setting one up, and I really don't need it in the first place (especially if Tailscale gets me into my home network).

> wireguard is basically free as it's in-kernel everywhere

Not everyone runs Linux. There is a time cost for user set up as well - even if I wanted to run my own wireguard server, I'm probably not going to hand out access to people to SSH in and do a self-service type signup. Therefore, it falls on me. With Tailscale, I (or somebody else) can just add a Github user to an org and the rest can be done by an end user. The majority of the people who I'd want on my Tailscale network are already in a Github org that I control, so I usually don't even need to do that.

> What's the argument for increasing my attack surface and introducing a centralized failure point and new recurring payment?

The same as it is for any other paid service: running this myself requires more time and effort than it's worth (not just setup -- end user support, maintenance, upgrades, etc factor in too) + I'm willing to let somebody else take care of it for me. For my uses, Tailscale is actually free but I'm thinking about switching away from the Github Community Plan to a paid plan specifically because the product is good enough that I want to pay for it.

Also: if you're more inclined to self-host your stuff, you can get the best of both worlds via https://github.com/juanfont/headscale
https://github.com/instagram/MonkeyType can perform the call logging, and can export a static typing file which is used by mypy, but also e.g. PyCharm. It doesn't expose such fine grained types, but you could build that based on the logged data.
That's if you write it in Java. With a type system like TypeScript's you can write largely the same code as before, with a few annotations to clarify what you mean, and you get the exact same runtime only you also will get compile errors if a change elsewhere in your program violates the assumptions of that code.

My uninformed guess is an RFID tag in each refill bag. The printer will scan for Genuine Authorized Original Virtuous Toner, and only then allow the fill port to open. Once open you have one hour before that tag ID is burned and can't be used further.

I replied (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32468137) to the original comment that I would like to see a documentary on him (which he didn't seem to oppose), and this article just makes me want it more.
> Pine64 is making enthusiast products for hackers, not mass-market devices for non-hackers. Non-hackers have access to plenty of phones which just werk. Part of the promise of Pine's platform and the appeal to the target audience is the commitment to community.

Sounds like either Pine64 has grown past this and decided to pivot, or has been losing revenue due to a lack of customers from this niche market. Personally, as a hacker I love playing with different OSes. However, if I was to use any open source device like a PinePhone or Pine64 board to build something, I'd prefer a stable environment backed by an established foundation. Environment setup is hell, and figuring out which open-source OS works best, if it will be supported in the future, and how to install it would slow me down immensely.
The Brie I buy is made in France, so I'll leave it up to you guys to convince them that it's not "real."
A couple ideas for how to fix some real estate problems:

1. A zoning rule that requires home owners to live in the owned home. This would prevent remote/foreign money from meddling with local housing in particular areas, and prevents big corps from buying up all the homes and forcing people to lease them out. Some people want to lease though, so that's why I think it's more appropriate as a zoning tool for particular areas than as a city or state-wide law. Maybe this could manifest as a leasing tax. (As an aside, in the US this wouldn't work for typical apartment buildings, however maybe we should consider apartment owning model like they have in Japan...)

2. Ban NDAs for real estate leases, period. They just allow for shenanigans like lying about how much a property was leased for in the past. NDAs are usually a cancer but I admit they can be useful in certain contexts; real estate is not a valid context for NDAs.

3. You can only deprecate the improved value, not the value of the land. "The land beneath a building does not deprecate, whereas the value of the building should." -- a good idea by
huevosabio that I saw in this thread.

4. Owners pay taxes on the claimed lease value, regardless of current occupancy. This would disincentivize owners from just sitting on dozens of properties refusing to lease because nobody wants to pay their unrealistic exorbitant rates. This is a plague in New York at the moment, where all the owners are playing a game of chicken with the economy to try to artificially prop up their building valuations by pretending that the supply/demand curve doesn't exist even in the face of record breaking unoccupancy (is that a word?).
It does however take time for all the prices to go to 2x what they were. If we end up having 7 years of 10% inflation we will be there. Had this hypothetical person still just held onto their cash, they’ll be half as rich as they were in terms that matter (purchasing power). I for one would not be surprised at all if that’s what we’re in for.
Doh, right! I recall reading that now. Thanks for clarifying.

A few months ago I met a teen (maybe 15 y.o.) who was trying to withdraw money from an ATM that had a non-touch screen. He kept failing and trying to tap on the screen.

He was doing it for his grandfather, a wheelchair user, who was nearby. The grandpa couldn't use the ATM himself because there was no wheelchair ramp. Seeing the teen's failing attempts he started asking passerby for help.

My takeaway from this story: we need more wheelchair ramps, not touchscreens.
Yep. It's brittle but if you need offset LOTS of records (e.g. a timeline) it's prob the only way to do it semi-scalable without storing the index somewhere else (redis etc)
> 25x duplicated effort

People keep saying this, like too much effort is a bad thing. But OP makes it clear that there's very little duplication of effort in the Linux-on-phone/mobile/SBC community - most developments are shared community-wide. There are some technical divergences (Alpine/musl vs. glibc- and init-based systems for example) that can impact direct compatibility, but they're very minor.
> It means you have the full control and flexibility to define how your environment looks like instead of being forced to have one repo per environment. This flexibility enables the exact same experience as the one you have in your laptop from development and env management perspective.

One thing I love about Gitpod is that everyone gets the same exact environment when they start Gitpod from a repo/PR. It seems like letting every developer customize their cloud machine like they customize their local machine would lead to many of the "but it works on my machine" problems?
Official statistics: are digital releases more user-friendly than print?

> corporations like FANGs are largely pushing OSS to use volunteer work to make software a commodity

Corporations has been coopting Free Software for two decades by opposing GPL, calling it Open Source and essentially turning it into unpaid labor.

Yet community-driven FOSS is still possible and thriving around things like mastodon.

Isn't US rare more cooked than the rest of the world? I think I remember needing to ask for medium or more in Paris to get what I expected for medium rare?

A fair amount of differences in food safety practices has to do with where cleanliness is done. For example, I'm told European eggs are usually not industrially washed, so you can leave them on the counter, but you can only do that when laying is clean. In the US, laying is dirty, so eggs are industrially washed and must be refrigerated. Both systems work, but you have to be careful about comparing steps in the middle.
That's for inkjet printers though, no?

This is for a laser printer. No worrying about drying ink heads.

But now you've got me curious -- who is printing 10's of thousands of pages using an inkjet? I would have thought that anything at volume is laser, with the exception of photo printing.
Show HN: Crabs All the Way Down – Running Rust on Logic Gates
Made an ARM Thumb CPU from scratch in a digital circuit simulator for fun and decided to push the joke a little further and run real stuff on it, like a Web server, a Scheme interpreter, a MIDI player, and a VT100 emulator.

This is basically a how-did-we-get-here blogpost, it's my second one of this kind, I'd love any feedback you might have.
That is a good question. I personally am compensating for the lack of nutrients in food and also over-compensating for damage that I have done to my organs from a lifetime of eating a "standard american diet" or what I prefer to call a "first world diet". A healthy food diet just wasn't cutting it for me, especially given that stomach acid and other aspects of digestion decrease with age. I can compensate with digestive enzymes, tudca, benfotiamine and chelated zinc but that has rapidly diminishing effects.

My goals go far beyond what a good diet and moderate exercise and decent sleep alone can accomplish but I would never even try to convince anyone to do what I am doing nor would I even suggest it unless one researches all of the molecules and their downstream effects ad-nauseam.
All cool until there's a wall or something like that starting right at the height of the roof. Can't see it in the camera but can in the mirror. Most cars with rear view cameras even warn: don't reverse by relying on camera only.
I had a pleasure to dive deep into this topic and we built a double-entry bookkeeping system from scratch in a heavily regulated industry that tracked debt consolidation for thousands of customers with payouts to thousands of creditors.

I think this is one of the most proudest things I was ever was involved in architecting, designing and building. I left before it got to prod, but from people still there, I've been told it's been working flawlessly!
I disagree that the 1031 exchange laws are detrimental to society. In fact, I would argue that their existence boosts the rate of development and increases housing supply in the US.

Firstly, why does the government deserve to tax these transactions at all? These landlords are already taxed on their income from their jobs, pay property taxes, pay taxes on all the products they buy. The government is extracting plenty of wealth from its citizens, why on earth would we demand more of people just for being successful in real estate? Will the government put their money to better use than these people spending it themselves on products and services? I think anyone who engages with public sector projects and services knows that the government does not efficiently spend money.

Let's imagine a world where 1031 exchanges are banned. What happens? Wealthy investors no longer sell properties at the same rate. What's the point? If my apartment building is cash flowing every year, and I'm stuck paying a huge capital gain tax on the sale, I'll just hold it for life and enjoy the cash flow. The rate of real estate transactions would collapse overnight, killing all of the jobs connected to it from appraisers, to brokers, to investment firms and wealth advisors. Now, not only does the government get less tax revenue because overall real estate transactions and taxable events are diminishing, but there is less incentive to build new projects.

The appetite of 1031 exchange buyers is one of the driving factors in development of new commercial real estate projects in the market! The profit motive spurs growth. Look at the Opportunity Zone legislation of 2017, a once in a lifetime chance to defer and eliminate capital gains as long as you are investing those gain dollars into real estate development in blighted areas. This tax incentive alone has generated hundreds of thousands of new residential units on the market that would never have been built without the tax incentive. Taxing real estate more would only slow growth, if we want people to take the time, effort and risk to build more housing units in the US, we need to incentivize them with less taxes.. not more.
What is the average salary for DE currently in US?
I see 2 main problems with housing, possibly related to each other:

- too many unoccupied apartments or offices, and secondary residences

- cars is at the root of the decision, and this leads to people living 30+km away from where they have to go daily, which is a big environmental issue

We should transition away from individual cars to light vehicles to solve the climate crisis, and we (the government) should also manage the housing crisis to help with that
Wouldn't it be very similar to Rust? (or OCaml - but without the automatic memory management)
I’m not sure what the point of this particular goalpost movement is, but the US ranks quite highly on measures of treatment quality as well. Those are of course much vaguer than the relatively easy-to-measure dollar amount.

Well, for starters there's the proven collusion between big tech CEOs in the very recent past to keep wages suppressed... I "suppose" it could be coincidence that the FAANG execs all came out at the same time and made a big Kabuki dance about "everyone work harder or we'll fire you"... But my money is on the square that they are colluding with each other again... Because they already proved they will do that.
