Don't forget the rail replacement bus: having paid for a rail ticket, you now have to take a slow poor-quality bus service instead.
I'm referring to IMAP/POP, you'll be able to use these with OAuth instead of basic auth.
I imagine their stats show that 99 percent of users use Outlook of some sort so to up security they turned basic auth off.
How do you interpret “To a good first approximation” in this context?
This is exactly the point. In the UK too, they have a plethora of different companies, but you can buy any ticket anyway.

In Australia the Reserve Bank predicted a fair chance of 40% declines nationwide 2020.

Fast forward two years and house prices are up 30% due to their actions along with government intervention. Hundreds of billions pissed down the drain preventing recession at all costs, with absolutely nothing to show for it.

How long are Western societies willing to kick this can down the road? At some point the youth will riot. It's intergenerational theft plain amd simple.

I found this made up story very nostalgic.
I came here to say something of this sort too. I have experience trying to buy international train tickets around Europe, and it's very often a big mess. Prices are different on different websites, they won't sell you regional trains, etc. The EU should intervene and make it easier.

The article clearly lays out two complaints, the first is “mysticism”, the second is “mechanization”. Personally I don’t think there’s anything particularly problematic with the latter model.
This is a great example of doing one niche incredibly well. Another example I've seen of doing this well is motorcycle parts[1]. You select your motorcycle, it presents you with a set of schematics of the bike split by function - for example you pick the Cam chain tensioner. You pick the schematic for the part you want and it'll show you the schematic with every part numbered, and a numbered list beside it with the name of the part, the part number, the price and a "buy" button. So simple, works absolutely perfectly.

Not really Italian lira suffered from inflation, a lot of people push this narrative that somehow Italy was forced to join the Euro against her will. From Wikipedia:

Lira pesante
Due to the lira's low value after the war economic calculations and price displays became unwieldy because of the large number of zeroes. As early as the 1950s suggestions were made to redenominate the lira but no serious efforts were made at that time. In the 1970s a plan known as lira pesante [it] (English: hard lira) or lira nuova (new lira) was proposed. The lira pesante would have redenominated the currency at 1,000:1, removing 3 zeroes. However the project went dormant for several years before being revived in 1984. Ongoing heavy inflation saw the lira pesante pushed back until it was permanently abandoned in 1991 because of plans for a single European currency.
Hi HN community!

So quickly, Bingtellar (https://bingtellar.com) is a crypto-to-fiat processing platform that makes it easier, faster and cheaper for anyone to buy and sell crypto and gift cards, and also unlock more utility with crypto like send money, pay bills and shop.

After experiencing a personal challenge with cross-border and crypto payments and wanting to help friends i built Bingtellar.

Today, Africans are disconnected from the global economy, our money losses value quickly and it barely serves as a medium of exchange outside our borders and on the internet, it’s tough dealing with that but one thing that has been saving the day has been crypto - it fixes the fragmentation of digital payment in Africa today. In our experience, we discovered that products related to crypto are very complicated and not user friendly, so we set out on a mission to create easy-to-use crypto products in Africa.

We believe crypto is the future of money and access to crypto products should be easy and on that we embarked on a journey to do this in anyway we can and after 8 weeks of work, I’m glad to announce that we're launching Bingtellar.

Our product is live , help spread the word. We’d love to get some the feedback of the HN community and I’m happy to answer any questions!

Herb mentions the possibility of `is void` generalizing across pointers, std::optional, and std::future. This seems like it could create ambiguity with a future<void> wherein a non-ready future<void> `is void` and also a ready future<void> `is void`. How should it be handled, I wonder?

The days in Hebrew are simply numbered, First day, Second day etc. except for Shabbat
Spring and autumn start on the equinox, summer and winter on the solstices. Though it's true they tend to be called "mid summer" and "mid winter" day. It's certainly weird.

We also tend to associate summer with days getting longer and winter with days (the period between sunrise and sunset) getting shorter, but the opposite is true: in summer, which is the period from about 21 June to 23 September, days are getting shorter, whereas in winter, between 21 December and 21 March, days are getting longer. Astronomical winter starts on the shortest day, and astronomical summer on the longest day.

I guess we're just eternally confused about calendars. And who can blame us?
> For example, the first day of Fall is actually the first day of "Mehr" (the 7th month). For some reason, the Gregorian calendar has it on Sep. 22.

That’s just a convention. In Russia we use “meteorological” convention, for example, and so each season starts on the 1st of some month (March, June, September, December). It is off from the astronomical convention by ≈20 days and it is off from reality by whatever depending on your location and your feelings on what constitutes seasons.
Yeah I typically just ignore new media while it’s still in the hype cycle.

I just picked up Cyberpunk 2077 half price on steam and I’m really enjoying it. But I remember when it came out there was an endless stream of hate and complaining. So I just step back, let the dust settle and the rough edges get polished out and then enjoy it later for what it is and not what I read on reddit or HN.
Only the third point isn’t valid still, and to be honest I’m not sure it was valid 17 years ago either. There are many complaints I have about the British rail system, but I’ve never had a problem booking tickets that cover multiple operating companies.
Lol, thanks. I rarely work on stuff exposed to the Internet. I've implemented multiple bare metal IP stacks from scratch, including Ethernet, DHCP, ARP, ICMP, and UDP. I've run real-time safety critical packets over TCP links. I've tunneled IP traffic through the international space station. I've done unforgivable things with iptables and awk.

The funny thing is that IPv6 short-circuits my brain. Why do I have four addresses, and where did they come from? Why isn't there a link-local address for loopback and wireguard?
Yep. Test on your parents or elder colleagues.
I used the YUI framework back in the days for "backoffice" / "admin" pages. It was one of the most productive frameworks. It had a lot of really good abstractions around dom manipulations, data sources and events.

It also had an amazing set of components including an awesome charts library. The data table was state of the art at the time, and could probably beat many of the react tables that are made today. From my point of view it was so much better than most of the alternatives, but it had the negative stigma of a Yahoo ownership.
ICQ is not the same thing, that one used a single protocol. Pidgin/Adium/Trillian was able to talk with ICQ users and others without installing several applications.

> Once you reach the leadership and middle management roles, job hopping means you’re never really staying at a company long enough to establish yourself and to own the long-term consequences of your actions. It’s very easy to come in, make a mess, and then leave before any consequences catch up to you. It’s much harder to stay and own things for 3 year or more.

Isn't this what the top managers do? Seems to work for them.
Yeah what is going on with B2B in Europe and not showing prices? It's absolutely bonkers, I have been renovating my house the past 6 years, and to even get into the stores I had to get a business account (by cheating and using my IT business registration).

None of the websites show prices if you don't have an account, and some of them even check if your business is legit so I just get refused. The one that rejected me also seems to only allow loading goods by fully sized truck so maybe it wasn't going to happen anyway, but it's so strange.
The UK has very unstable economic policy. Despite one party being in charge for the last 12 years, each prime minister has wrought radically different economic policies. Under Cameron was austerity, services were cut and much pain was endured to “get the deficit down”. Under Johnson we had an investment-based economic policy, and then under Truss we are seeing tax cuts for the rich funded by borrowing which is an economic policy that I’m not sure has a name because it’s so stupid (Trussonomics?).

Already there are some calls from within the Conservative party to remove Truss and she has only been in the job for a matter of weeks.

All this time wages and services have suffered, because the political class is obsessed with ideology over the boring work of governance. I realise this is not a unique phenomenon around the world, but what seems to set apart the political class in the UK is the heady mix of egoism and delusion, that blinds them to their own incompetence until they are removed and someone else is instated.

I think the point is that our current calendar does have historical roots involving the moon but isn’t actually useful for predicting moon phases, tides, etc. and thus is not in fact an important mechanism for modern calendars.

This is a very C++y thing to do. "Wanna do that thing? Well, the way that is obvious works, compiles, but doesn't do what it should. <good reasons why>. Sorry!"

I like it, it's job security.
Well like you said, expertise is generally self taught so they don't really understand the model of someone asking how to learn. They never asked someone how to learn. They pick a goal/problem to solve (or have one thrust upon them) and churn through whatever books or googling it takes to learn enough to do it.

idk i think the same pattern applies in many fields. as a beginner you worry about plan should i follow, which diet, which book, which language, which guru to follow. But all of the "how" questions are really just a proxy for the discomfort of feeling dumb and confused and incompetent at something new. The only real answer is yeah, feeling dumb is part of it, just keep going.
I like the cut of your jib. This makes me realize I can follow the same steps, then threaten to clone myself and make beaucoup bucks on the ransom. I’m sure plenty of people would pay to stop that from happening.
Slightly off topic but it made me smile:

In some(!) cases it totally makes sense to provide a hint for the person who might read the source code and wonder why there is a certain 'void' recognisable in the code, because it has been designed around another piece of code or data that is no longer there. Better to keep a short comment in the source file for readers to stumble over, and then via blame it's easy to read up on the whole history in version control.
Hey guys, I'm a digital nomad for 6 months and I've been struggling with different cuisines and their ingredients. Because I hate eggs and I can't even breathe its smell. In Thai cuisine, there are so many foods with eggs and It makes so much trouble for me. I really can't recognize them before eating because I don't know their local language.

I found this tool today and it seems powerful for Thai foods. I'll try it definitely and I wanted to share with you If there is anyone have the same problems as I have.

Calendar seasons are mainly used to talk about the weather. Using Equinox as a fixed reference point is not any more precise than using meteorological convention wrt thermal seasons.
What does Apple have to do with it here? The apps on your Apple device are exfiltrating data left and right every day - including parking apps which are the topic of this post.

Megacorporations aren't going to save you from this one. Actually creating regulation that will define where you're data is allowed to go (and stay) might.
Interesting; it is a rather good looking, very easy on the eyes, application, so your efforts are not in vain. I do understand though where you are coming from, and i do appreciate it.

Although I'm so far on the other end of the spectrum it's not even something that came to mind in my initial criticism. I'm the programmer that mostly works on old/outdated legacy systems that will never look "good" to anyone, and even then I rarely deal with the front-facing UI, usually spend most of my time working on low-level and background stuff that the user never sees. So I didn't even think about the relationship between light/dark when it comes down to unifying the two experiences with a "core" experience. If i were working on something like that I would want to change as little as possible between the two, though in that design consideration, then every element added to the program would have to be "compatible" with the core design, and the user's experience in both would have to be similar. So with that consideration, I could see why it would not be simple to implement/maintain.
Don’t forget to point out the absurd arbitrariness the kilo part. Base ten number systems are just as arbitrary as the rest of this stuff we’re mocking.

> - US (and maybe one or two English-speaking countries) are the only ones using 12h time, the rest of the world uses 24hrs, however 12h _sometimes_ is used conversationally;

For German speaking countries: rather always#. In fact, you don't even say 3 PM. Just "drei".
I think everything from 8 AM to 7 PM is considered "business hours" - and everything else needs clarification ("4 in the morning").

And we call 0:00 "12 Uhr Mitternacht" as well, I think nobody says "0 Uhr". But at least writing it down makes sense.

# Nobody I knows really uses "15 Uhr" to say 3 PM (people might sometimes do, but I never hear it, it sounds wrong, maybe "nerdy")
sugar isn't that much more expensive than corn syrup, so I don't think cancelling subsidies on it would make much difference at all as sugar could replace it 1:1 with very little overall increase in prices of food products.

I don’t think there is any athletic endeavor where people care less about “optimizing performance” than in skateboarding, especially in street. Partly because there is no sport or game where the equipment matters less (not even beginners think that getting another board will perceptibly improve there riding), but also because it’s almost a point of pride to be able to ride in suboptimal conditions.

It’s not supposed to be easy. Even riding in shorts is sort of frowned upon. Most people don’t use helmets and riding an old banged up board with noisy bearings is way cooler than using a fresh new one.

Until the next double quote, not necessarily the last one.
White bread literally has basically the same affect on blood sugar as an equal amount of sugar (by weight) as does processed (not whole wheat) pasta. It may be a bit delayed vs sugar's almost immediate absorption but the end result is quite on the same order.
I'm surprised no one (including TFA) has mentioned Trainline yet, as it addresses a lot of the issues mentioned in the comments here:

- buy tickets (with easy explanations of when/where they're valid)

- see which platform a train will depart from/arrive at

- check delays

- see walking times between platforms

- bus connections info

- handles refunds

- etc.

It works across Europe (elsewhere, I'm not sure), but in my experience it's got the most functionality within the UK.

The app itself is fantastic too. I'm not exaggerating when I say it is one of my favourite pieces of software - it does 1 thing, and does it super well. It's fast: no fluff, no ads. Few apps on my phone are like that anymore.
I'm so glad someone else finally said this. This article takes the approach of simplicity of code, which I do agree with, but additionally I've been thinking turns would have to be more intuitive and easier to teach (particularly to disinterested teenagers) for YEARS, and I finally feel vindicated at least one person agrees with me.

Turns are really the most neutral way to count an angle. We don't use them for everyday physical things because the numbers we'd deal with would be too small to work well for feeble human minds, hence degrees. But for the mathematical world where we currently use radians, turns make so much more sense.

This is not universal and doesn't work for many countries like Germany where you need to avoid "shadow employment/scheinselbständigkeit" with the same client.

Those 90% is estimated enough use for 2 months+ like from Jan to early March. Winter is coming. Energy consumption from Nov to Jan can double that for normal winter. For bad winters expect triple. If it is not desperate, the head of country Germany contact like beggar asking help. Remember USA suppose to deliver LNG to Germany as well. Now USA strategic reserve dropping to 1984 level and expect to further drop so they can sustain a "cheaper price" for the coming midterm.....all I can say is winter is coming....cue GoT background music.
