My bad, I never went with Citibank for that reason and forgot they went under.

That's the explaination I got when I discussed opening an account there. To note I wasn't a permanent resident, which might have set different conditions.

Went with Mitsubishi, and they were just fine.

Show HN: estela, a modern elastic web scraping cluster
estela is an elastic web scraping cluster running on Kubernetes. It provides mechanisms to deploy, run and scale web scraping spiders via a REST API and a web interface.

It is a modern alternative to the few OSS projects available for such needs, like scrapyd and gerapy. estela aims to help web scraping teams and individuals that are considering moving away from proprietary scraping clouds, or who are in the process of designing their on-premise scraping architecture, so as not to needlessly reinvent the wheel, and to benefit from the get-go from features such as built-in scalability and elasticity, among others.

estela has been recently published as OSS under the MIT license:

https://github.com/bitmakerla/estela

More details about it can be found in the release blog post and the official documentation:

https://bitmaker.la/blog/2022/06/24/estela-oss-release.html

https://estela.bitmaker.la/docs/

estela supports Scrapy spiders for the moment being, but additional frameworks/languages are on the roadmap.

All kinds of feedback and contributions are welcome!

Disclaimer: I'm part of the development team behind estela :-)
Is there a linux kernel driver for this somewhere?
So you think the capex of building new types of energy generation & storage is less than the opex of the existing grid generation centered around fossil fuels, like natural gas?

It's really hard to imagine earthlike planet without vegetation. Deserts would look the same. But how would temperate zone look with soil and rocks and streams and lakes but zero plants.
As it's so much closer to the star, doesn't it mean it is much more seismic?
I don't think REPL can be good by themselves. They only make sense as part of a larger IDE.
Despite the company name, metaverse has nothing to do with Meta (except the viewing device, but well that's your monitor brand and nothing else). Metaverse has been with us much longer than just since Meta was named Meta (or Facebook, or The Facebook).
The best one I have use was Istanbul-Thessaloniki (Turkish one was new, clean & spacious; Greek one seem to be an old french train but both were for 2 persons). Istanbul-Ankara train was nice as well.

Vienna-Milan from trenitalia was ok. Vienna-Cologne was good but it was so expensive, i just got inclined seat.

Hope these trains will make a better come back.
I'm not opposing electric vehicles, I'm just trying to show a different reality here.

In Spain you need a permit for almost anything and one of the reasons we don't have more chargers is just because of bureaucracy.

Right now, if I had a car and it was electric, the only option I would have to charge it is running an extension cord from my balcony to the car (Supposing I parked right in front of my apartment).

This is a real challenge and I wish the government would focus on the infra needed to: Assemble batteries in the country, create more and more charging points (As I said before, 3 streets had a cost of 200k€, and they are not even covered completely) and remove taxes from electric vehicles. I think that's what works but here they chose to make life difficult for everyone with a gasoline-powered vehicle.

At least the government is investing in public transport
I would bet it would have a pretty decent effects. I’m a digital marketer/growth guy and right now I think the least crowded inbox is the mailbox.

But not standard postcards or mass mailers.

An example:
I worked for an apparel company selling custom apparel (shirts and hoodies mostly) to army Battalions/Companies/Platoons…

We managed to grab 28% market share of an army base for $150.00 by sending a sales letter with a knock out offer and a Rubik’s cube (there were actually two rounds of mailers but the total of both of them was $150)

Had the company’s supply chain not imploded it should’ve brought as much as $300,000 in gross profits of the course of the year. I’d say a 2000x ROI is not bad for a week of work and a couple hundred dollars in materials.

I think lumpy mailers à la The Ultimate Sales Machine by Chet Holmes are a phenomenal way to cut through the clutter with CPM‘s skyrocketing and conversion rates plummeting for PPC marketing.

I definitely don't miss it while writing my own code. In porting well, I think because we've got volatile flag nonsense, we need to do some significant surgery to even make this compile anyway, and so perhaps

do { ... } while (((data & DAP_Data.transfer.match_mask) != match_value) && match_retry-- && !DAP_TransferAbort);

becomes something like

loop {
...
if data & DAP_Data.transfer.match_mask) == match_value {
break;
}
match_retry -= 1;
if match_retry == 0 {
break;
}
if check_transfer_abort() { // Replaces DAP_TransferAbort
break;
}
}

I think that's actually more clear, and my mental focus is DAP_TransferAbort. I think it's just C programmers being C programmers, and we just want AtomicBool for this but I'm more comfortable wrapping it in this check_transfer_abort() function while I investigate whether anybody thinks this is a counter, or there's actually physical hardware backing it despite the way it looks like it's just a global variable.
What difference does it make if the build is compromised in an identical way byte-for-byte?
Well as long as we are nitpicking: random access does not say anything about the block size - you're not going to be writing individual random bits whith any kind of memory. And random access also does not say that all blocks have the same access time, only that the time does not depend on what you have accessed previously. In conclusion, an array of spinning rust drives is random access memory.

Sternenko got a popular channel covering the war in Ukraine, so of course he's become a target of Russian bot army. Now they're using the reporting mechanism to try and silent him on YouTube. As a result, here's an (incomplete, translated) list of phrases he's now unable to use in his video titles:

- Kherson

- south

- russians

- the sky is blue

- UAF

- army of Ukraine
Yes, this is exactly what I am getting at. The cell phone number is the user identity, and this is flawed thinking. Some people have more than one phone number, and some people use more than 1 PC. Signal fails miserably here, and so I think it has been relegated to a niche market.

Everyone I know that tried Signal, also tried Telegram. Anecdotal, but we are still communicating with Telegram.
In general, I agree with you and I almost typed the same. Getting a car loan is absolutely difficult, hence the existence of buy here pay here sorts of places. Predatory loans are basically the only thing available in an emergency.

But I figure some fringe cases would absolutely make someone be both poor and that much in debt, generally stemming from things like a family losing an income after buying a home and to a lesser extent, things like student loans and medical debt - though I*m not sure either go as high.
You're probably right, I wasn't a Citibank customer so didn't follow what they were doing these last years.
More importantly, this sounds like planets tidally locked around a red dwarf.

Red dwarfs are known for flares that would destroy the atmosphere of any nearby planet.

"Although this planet orbits very close to its star, at a distance about 10 times shorter than that of Mercury around our Sun, the amount of stellar irradiation it receives is still low... the star LP 890-9 is about 6.5 times smaller than the Sun and has a surface temperature half that of our star."

A common story about the piece is that Rachmaninoff took inspiration from a dream he had. The dream was set in a funeral (hence the bell-like tolling at the beginning of the piece). As the dream progresses, Rachmaninoff walks toward the central coffin, and the piece builds suspense as Rachmaninoff continues to get closer. When he finally gets there, he opens the coffin only to find himself inside, coinciding with the beginning of the climax of the piece (marked "agitato" on the score). Whether or not this story is true, or painted on to the piece at a later date, the story seems to match the progression of the piece.

Quiet Quitters Make Up Half the U.S. Workforce, Gallup Says
Oh, Matlab is pretty bad.

Everything is a matrix, that's horrific (especially the Nx1 vs 1xN ambiguity which pops up all the time). No default argument values (and until recently, no support for keyword args, though they have a bad version now), meaning half your code lines are input parsing. Forced vectorization does the opposite of making code clean, it makes complicated code a lovecraftian mess (unlike Julia, which lets you vectorize efficiently at the top level.) Every function must live in an m-file(#$@&%*!) Everything in your path is in scope :(

The varargin/varargout/nargout mess, with outputs specified in the signature line, instead of proper return statements.

Also, for a language that requires vectorization for performance, there should really be a proper `map`, instead of the mess that is `arrayfun`/`cellfun`/`structfun`. Their arrays are super-limited, no mixed-element arrays (use cell-arrays!), so `[3, [4,5,6], 7]` is just concatenated, while `[3, [4;5;6], 7]` errors (and check out what `[3, "hello", 7]` does(!) or `[3, 'hello', 7]`)

Poor support for integers, 2 is a double(!), and `int8(3)/int8(2) == int8(2)` (yikes.)

Their OOP is actually not that bad, though it's slow. And their graphics system is pretty ok.

Also annoying: now you have two types of strings, old-fashioned 'abc', and new-fangled "abc", which are very different, and sort-of, half-way work together. Though I think moving to the new strings is actually a good move, but painful now.
Ask HN: How do you optimise your outlook workflow?
There not that much discussion on this on the internet as it is quite personal, but I am really interested to see what "hacks" people have added into outlook (or others) to optimise their workflow, more than just simple "move to folder" rules. A lot of the standard webpage's just seem to show "grouping" as advanced usage.

What do you do? Any advanced usage using things like columns, formulas, search folders or VBA?

For example:
I have a separate search folder which mirrors my inbox, which I conditionally format using the following rules.
-- Email just to me = Colour Red
-- Email to me and others = Colour Blue
-- Email with me in the CC = Colour Black
-- Email to mailing lists = Colour Green

This helps me to visually quickly see what emails are important and what are just for information.

-----

I have a new search folder which just shows meeting invites, to show me what has been cancelled, created, passed, etc. So I can easily delete anything that has passed that I haven't accepted.

-----

I create a new column to humanize the time the email came in. e.g. "12 minutes ago", "1 hour ago", "3 days ago" etc.

One way, the nearest plaza to me is a 7 minute drive. There's nothing closer than this plaza.

The route Google Maps suggests walking is 44 minutes. There are no sidewalks. There are two roundabouts, one mini, where drivers aren't even really sure whose turn it is.

It isn't a relaxing experience by any stretch of the imagination, especially if I wanted to bring my kids.

It's not that I'm unwilling. I want to walk more. I just don't have 1h30m to dedicate to the most basic of trips.
I really wonder what font they are using. The big challenge is not finding a handwritten style font but finding a font with multiple different variants of each letter.

It becomes painfully obvious if you have two of the same letter in a row that are exactly the same. I’ve only found a couple of fonts that have that variability within a single letter and it’s pretty stunning how big of a difference it makes
Yes colleges should break out Tuition into salaries of faculty and administration.
No, it is a large loss. They want you to come in thinking maybe you have X, then buy something else while you are there.
One of the better merge tools but I'd only recommend it if your language of choice is supported. Otherwise, BeyondCompare is just as good.
Being kind is fine and all, but my one gripe with it is that it doesn’t make me any money. Glad to see the dark days of being nice without any ROI are ending.
I use VSCode+repl which works well for me (although the language server for Julia isn't as good as a C/C++ one). The one other workflow to look at is Pluto notebooks. They're similar to jupyter notebooks, but they track cell dependencies and automatically dependent cells, to guarantee that you maintain consistent state.
This needs to be strictly strictly controlled..
It'd be excellent if we could use something like genetic manipulation, both to improve the material, and also identify it as being grown specifically for building.

On one side of my street there are 4 streetlights and 16 cars parked almost at all times (At least from September to July, the only time you can find a parking space is early morning).

Would that be enough? The streetlights are LED so I don't think they use too much electricity to justify a massive cable that could charge 16 cars
Probably. And certainly tidally locked, so 1 year = 1 day, with a permanently boiling day side, a hard-frozen night side, and a temperate, twilit ring straddling them.

All moisture would naturally migrate to the dark side and freeze there, permanently, if it doesn't sublimate away into the vacuum left after all the air is blasted off the day side.
There's a balance to achieve between presentation of a NEW RESULT vs simple obfuscation. Achieving that balance depends in understanding your audience and adapting your style appropriately.

The "understanding your audience" bit is repeated again and again and again, but seems never to be heard or heeded.

To be fair, most PhDs in Pure Maths don't contain earth-shattering, field altering results. Mostly they are small things that are genuinely new, but not very substantial. The author then has to make it clear which wide they fall in the tension between "trivial observation" and "genuine progress". I didn't do that the first time.
+1 for #clschool, it's a really great place to learn lisp.

I really wish they had opened sourced this. Was just thinking of exactly that post, thanks for finding it.

It really makes a difference to have hand written with a pen as long as you have a font with multiple letter variants/subtly differences between the same letter used repeatedly.
Just google "India" and "black money". I'm not from there, but it feels like the boogeyman of Indian politics. It seems the government is able to perpetuate some idea that India has simply unimaginable wealth, but that it was all stolen by a select few and if only they could get it back everything would be OK.

I've had a lot of this lately, since the introduction of mandatory "two-factor" authentication (the "second" factor is a mobile phone, so neither secure nor a second factor). We have no mobile coverage at home, so it's impossible to use this. Online purchases often don't go through. My bank's helpline is massively overloaded with often 1 or 2 hour wait times. They haven't actually banned me from my own money yet but I'm certainly looking around for other options.

Warning: This is a rant.

Once, when in school, I went to the principal to get some papers signed. It was the first time I was entering his office. I knocked at the door, and pat came a reply to enter. He was sitting behind a desk that had nothing on it, no papers, files or books. Nothing! He was sitting there with his hands on the desk. I got my papers signed immediately and came out of the office thinking, does this person even work? :) I went to him at 9:30am, and there he was sitting idle!

Few years after that incident, I read an article by a prominent Indian atomic research scientist. He was describing an incident that was similar to the one I had experienced at the school principal's office. He once went to the head of the Bhabha Atomic Research Center(BARC) in India at 9:00am, and the desk of the head of BARC was clear, no paper work, files or anything. And the scientist quickly got his work done at the office of the head of BARC. The scientist narrated this experience to his boss, who was a friend of the head. The boss said that the head of BARC wakes up at 4:00am, his work starts at 5, by 9:00am he is available to anyone in the company. His own work he completes between 5-9am, and most of the rest of the day he makes himself available to others at the company. The clear desk that the scientist saw was not because the head has less work, but because he had already completed his own work before 9:00am. The clear the desk of the head of an institution, the more efficient s/he is.

Tim Cook of Apple has similar schedule. Leaders of any organisation have to wake up early, otherwise they get little done.

There are health benefits of this as well.

I use to be a night owl. One day an email arrived in my official inbox. It was from one of the VPs of the company. He had just returned back from a long stay at a hospital due to illness. He urged all young engineers to not treat being night owl as some sign of hard work, badge of honour or habit. It seriously damages the health in the long run, like his own.

I had heard this advise from so many elders in the industry that I changed my schedule. I use to drink a lot of coffee and tea as well, even that changed.

Few years ago, when my father was seriously ill and in the ICU, one day I saw a new patient on the bed next to my father's. The new patient was very young, ~30 years old guy. I asked the nurse, did he meet with an accident? And the nurse said, "No, he had an heart attack. He is a software professional. We get many software professionals in the hospital with similar problem. Their life-style is bad."

Remember this old proverb: "Early to bed, and early to rise, makes a person healthy, wealthy and wise."

Yes but they often aren't and you have no control over whether a user will update their dynamic libraries. And you still need to be able to recompile and redistribute your application because you are going to have vulns in your code as well so this hasn't actually saved you the responsibility of recompiling to protect your users.

I would not put any effort toward it.

I do it with my own money and time.

My goal is to show up, entertain, try to inspire and get them curious, and possibly become a mentor if few of the kids show high interest.

My goal is not to seek people who are not showing up.
