Is it? Acceptance for acceptance's sake, I don't get that from the Bible (or most major religious texts?). The 'accept things' is asterisked with a 'because $deity', which just opens up many more cans of worms.
If someone is openly taking your money for the stuff they make and giving it to people who are pretty open about wanting to make your life worse, then they shouldn't be surprised if you quit buying their stuff. Actions have consequences, and being filthy rich shields you from some of them, but not all of them.

And sometimes choosing to not take a side is, in fact, an action with distinct consequences.
For the obvious reason: there are things Airtable can do that excel can't.

For example, I'm using airtable to track my job applications. I save the job ad, my cover letter and the resume I used as a pdf and attach them to the row in a column designed for attaching files. You can't do that in excel (at least not that I've seen).
"Calories In vs Calories Out is correct". Maybe it’s correct but I doubt it’s useful. How do you explain that people who do not count calories maintain their weight ?
You’re wrong:

We prosecuted those who actively participated at Nuremberg and still hunt Nazi soldier to this day… while we didn’t, in general, prosecute the German people.

Show HN: Quick Rewire – I made web tool to rewire your brain
Hi HN, I work with a mixed group of developers, data scientists and neuroscientists, and for fun recently built a tool inspired by psychological studies. The idea is to demonstrate how quickly technology can change how your brain works, and potentially the impact that technology actually has over our agency without us even noticing.

This is what the prosecution in the Netherlands is claiming about Tornado Cash as a Software tool:

> About the concerns, the development of a tool is not prohibited, but if a tool has been created for the sole purpose of committing criminal acts, for example, to conceal criminal flows of money, then putting online/making available a developed tool may be punishable

I guess it all depends on what the bar is on a Dutch court of law to prove that criminal intent, if the developer's defense can successfully argue that the code was made to be generally used for the purposes of privacy rather than made deliberately to be useful to criminals, maybe he can get off the hook.

I'd personally draw the line at providing the service rather than the code itself; if there's any relation to the criminals using the service (e.g. direct payment for the service, kickbacks) that's different from merely putting the code on Github for whoever may benefit from it. The Netherlands goes further it seems.

Xidel. A tool to query data from anything on the web and extract what you want
Leaving aside the legality for the moment, because it's complex, jurisdiction-dependent, and constantly in flux, "crypto transaction laundering" is not in and of itself unethical. It depends on what you are intending to conceal. The parallels to encrypted messaging are really quite strong IMO.

If you are trying to hide a purchase (with your own money) from your wife because you think she wouldn't approve, that's totally ethical (if a bit of a silly relationship tactic). Similar if you're trying to hide a donation to an unpopular politician or charity from your employer. If you're trying to hide a donation to a militant organization, it's much more ethically complex and depends on the goals and actions of the organization. If you're trying to hide the source of ill-gotten money, it's likely unethical.

Separately, while the tool might be "primarily" used for unethical things, that does not make the tool unethical itself. Again it is the actions of the users that determine this. Even if hypothetically 95% of Tor users are pedophiles and ransomware crackers, that does not invalidate the "legitimate" ethical use of the tool by the remaining 5%.
That's great! Thanks for the info, Geomiq looks brilliant.

If you could go into more detail on the CE self certification that would be awesome. How did you figure out what testing you need to perform on the product to complete the self certification? The biggest source of confusion for me is this aspect of it. Sure I can self certify that all is good, but how can I be certain that I am not missing something that will get me into legal trouble?

For my own project the biggest source of compliance is related to the ESP-32 that I am using (because of the WiFi/Bluetooth radio). Of course the boards I get from Amazon and Alibaba all have CE written on them, but how can I trust that? I read that the seller has to give CE certificates but they always seem to have a serial number that appears fake (there was some database that you can look them up in and they always fail to show up). I also read that putting together components that are all CE does not mean that the full product can be considered compliant. So in general it seems like a massive undertaking.

big oof for Sam pretty much throughout. Does not backtrack very well. Tough listen
Had one for three years. Use it nearly every day, but I work with embedded systems in robots/industrial machinery. One handed operation, tons of IO, dual boot, fits in back pocket etc. have made this indispensable.

One dead battery, replacement part from alibaba via GPD rep given link. Easy to disassemble via screwdriver and spudger. Works great now. Injection molded piece that held the threads where the hinge attached also failed. Drilled a little pinhole and added a small machine screw, nut and threadlocker. No more problems. Nut goes under the plastic hinge cover. The fix is literally better than original.

Other than that, the only issue I've had is getting grub to see the screen as landscape. Grub config options seem to get ignored. Oh well. Standard rotation is sorted with boot scripts and the OEM Windows 10 side works great.

I tried coming up with EventSourcing attempts for a large application that’s basically only shuffling around data from n source systems to m target systems (sometime of them are both). I thought ES would be perfect, as we mostly care about changes and where to they came from, not so much about the current state (mostly…)
But I am not smart enough. I just could not come up with a way to make it work. I do not understand the darn thing, even after spending hours reading fowlers and others stuff.
The basics sound simple enough to me. Store events, not state, generate state from history of events.
But does each event belong to one entity, to one type of entities, or is it global? We have a quite elaborate net of things interconnected and reliant on other, changed and provided via vastly different services/protocols/etc.

I think I need some more braincells to understand Event Sourcing.
So your coming from the position that we have a limited set of enumerated rights bestowed upon us by an all powerful government??
If I were running a business ethically, I'd want to mute my criticism of politics, including fairly extreme ones. Partisanship is tearing the world apart. I want people with different viewpoints to interact. That's the only way to address them. If we don't work together and we don't shop together, we'll grow more polarized as a result. Democracy isn't a battle, and you win by convincing people, and not by beating them down or punishing them. That means interacting with them.

A business isn't a good venue for partisan change. It is an okay place for some types of politics (e.g. environmental sourcing), but not for explicitly partisan ones.

Ironically, if I were running a business efficiently, I'd probably want to pick one side and stick to it. If I sell to everyone, and I have competitors who focus on the blue tribe and ones who focus on the red tribe, they'll have a competitive advantage over me with any given consumer, and I'll be left with the very few people who aren't on either side.

I'm actually pretty skeptical of this. I think that in most cases, when corporations are taking a "stand" it is because they have calculated that not taking a stand will be more financially damaging to their prospects.

I think the business school lectures that keep coming of late about not alienating consumers are skewd towards a time when

1) The American consumer was more homogenous.

2) Companies had less insight into who their customers were.

What's more, analyses like these seem to take for granted that companies risk alienating an equal number of customers taking any stand other than the center. But the consumer base is not the electorate. Conservative leaning Republicans make up less than half the electorate and their cultural preferences are generally held by well below the majority of people.

The strangest part of all of this talk is that it has exploded in the discourse at a time when the positions corporations are taking have generally been about issues facing minorities of race, sexual oreintation or gender orientation.

Yet dozens of large companies have taken conservative stands in recent decades. And while occasionally the media does question the ends of such stands, i.e. Burwell v. Hobby Lobby, there isn't this endless hand wringing about whether businesses ought to be taking culturally controversial positions. The most pointed part being that in a case like Burwell v. Hobby Lobby, Hobby Lobby ACTUALLY affected the lives of millions of people. Most of the things business bloggers grouse about of late is corporations throwing out some utterly token signal of wokeness.
I am very much not a lawyer, and certainly not familiar with the Netherlands legal system, but IMO it seems like "created for the sole purpose of committing criminal acts" would be quite a high bar. Certainly I know of people who used Tornado Cash with no intent to commit any criminal acts, either seeking privacy in legal transactions or just DeFi yield farming the TORN token.
Even that, which I have not seen evidence that the median shoe is produced by Uyghur labor, is not comparable to the middle passage & chattel slavery.

He probably has one of the 1st generations which were cheaper (and crappier). I would not recommend paying more than 100EUR for it. The build quality was terrible and the firmware ridiculously buggy. I am told both things have improved in recent GPD endeavours but then so has the price.
Phoenix Liveview and the many other copied featuresets in other web frameworks are sending dom diffs over a websocket connection where a tool like morphdom will render only the necessary changes to the page.

This sort of architecture for static rendering is a big deal because it gives live page updates in a way that is SEO friendly and significantly less complex for development than SPAs are.

They did. They replaced the process for implementing VM internal operations with a process where VM internals are partially written in JS itself. If the sequence that the spec calls "GatherAsyncParentCompletions" had been implemented in C++, this leak wouldn't have occurred, because they would have been using an idiomatic list type (whether language-idiomatic, or a specialized data type standardized across the codebase), instead of a JS array.

If it's purely cultural and has no connection to reality then it should have "evolevd out" of us. But it hasn't. Being influenced by culture is part of how the system works. The reason you learn disgust is you can't afford to learn by trial and error so you outsource to society.

Now if you think you're a smart ass and decide to "override" the cultural "indoctrination" that makes you find insects disgusting, what do you think is the likelihood that you are the one who is right?

In all likelihood you will find out after some time that you made a huge irreversible mistake.

i love it when people make statements liek "you are projecting" yet dont fully understand them.

What it means to be projecting?

According to Karen R. Koenig, M. Ed, LCSW, projection refers to unconsciously taking unwanted emotions or traits you don't like about yourself and attributing them to someone else. A common example is a cheating spouse who suspects their partner is being unfaithful.

I've not taken any of my views and projected them anywhere.

In the US, I've generally avoided debit cards (but still would recommend them to people who aren't good at budgeting) because while disputes are settled you're missing the money.

My brief experience in other European countries is that debit cards are common, but credit cards aren't. I've heard this is because of strict caps on fees, which means few promos and benefits (like the US has). Sweden has a digital p2p service called Swish. Small businesses seemed to prefer it, but was a little annoying because you had to key in the code or use your camera to scan their QR code. This wasn't a huge hassle for sending money to friends. From what another commenter said, the UK requires you to manually key in the sort-code and account number. I can see that preventing adoption for casual purchases.

I was never sure of what protections I had around fraud with other payment options. I imagine consumer trust will be difficult to build.

Good point. Sometimes I cheat and implement before I test, but often when I do that I'll comment & uncomment the code that actually does the thing so I can see the tests go from red to green.

How are you defining the word “signaling?” Are you being as definitive as you sound when you say serves no other purpose, or do you mean few other purposes? Some would say that celebrities have influence they can use to champion causes they believe in.
I realize that, but it’s a redefinition that makes it very challenging for people engaging in fleeting internet conversations to follow the thread.

Identity politics and partisanship have fairly well defined meanings within political discourse, and so when you say “identity is the problem” the assumption for many people is that you’re talking about issues like BLM, trans issues, etc.
I like debuggers, but I don't always use debuggers. Typically because I can find the problem quicker w/ a puts/print/etc. than the time it takes me to run the debugger.

I also do a lot of web stuff, and if you're running some server process and you're not running the server process through a debugger directly, then you need to find and attach to the server PID, etc., then maybe deal with threads, and it's just a lot of upfront effort when I could just find the issue by throwing a puts/print somewhere or writing a test.

I'm not anti-debugger, I'm just busy and it's easier to put something in my code (which is how I frequently jump into debuggers too, e.g. binding.irb, binding.pry, debugger, byebug, etc.)

the CLI debuggers (gdb, lldb, etc.) are great when I really need them, but they're a pain in the ass to setup with things that are not C or C++, editor integrations sometimes need setup, and using them without setting breakpoints visually is tedious.
