Thank you!

>How did you did risk management?
I put in a basic position management layer (1% fixed stop). Also, the market regime module would modulate participation, i.e. in really risky environments it would dial down the number of stock picks. I can definitely do much more on this front, but I wanted to nail down the stock picking first! :)

>Have you been leveraged?
No leverage.

>Have you paid for data?
Yes, my monthly running costs for data are ~$1.2k.

Refactoring UI[0] is a book made by the folks at Tailwind Labs which opened my eyes to the basics of web design. It discusses in an accessible way the specific things your mention (font, color palette, basic layout, etc) and helps you build your intuition on those aspects of design.

I also recommend Tailwind UI[1], which is a software product made by the same people. Both of these resources were indispensable when I created Magistrate[2].

Where I work we were told to remove the option to choose the russian language from any drop down and delete all russian translations from the database. That didn't quite seem right to me since there are people who speak russian who don't live in russia, but they seem to be trying to remove all traces of any sort of connection with russia (the country).
Legit worried about these shenanigans now. So much info is leaked via job searching.
Hand soldering is a pain, also - ALL those joints are going to be cold and brittle - use a heat gun/headers and the paste.
> I don't understand

Have you genuinely attempted to understand the Russian perspective in all this? Like listened to what Moscow has been saying for the last decade? Have you ever read a single one of Putin's speeches, for example?

Reading Anne Applebaum screeds in The Atlantic is not seeking understanding, by the way.

How can you understand something if you don't attempt to understand it?

> What evidence is there for this?

No smoking gun, just cui bono + timing + no other plausible explanation has been put forth

> On the contrary, should the EU find that the US was behind the explosions it would cause an absolute rift between the US-EU relationship, and in particular with Germany.

If Europe had strong leadership. Even Merkel didn't really stand up to the spying revelations.

The nuclear brinkmanship is textbook deterrence. Whenever Russia escalates, expect nuclear threats to deter a full-blown NATO entry.
Scripting in bash in a portable manner on embedded system is exactly the niche use cases I talked about. The router example is aimed at it, because it's the right size ratio to be small, but have an OS running.

Still, the vast majority of IT projects do not fall in that category.

It exists, but it's a very, very small % of why you need a bash script. And in fact, even those advocating for bash portability almost never fall into the category of people that have to do it in their daily job.

I'll go even further and even state that a lot of embedded system don't even have bash scripting capabilities in the first place.
Very interesting that you're also a bootcamp grad. Thanks for sharing all this.

I love when candidates are up front about things like this, seeing a cover letter thats akin to "Hey, I'm just getting my started in this industry. I graduated <bootcamp-x>, I would love to get some feedback on the work I did on <project-x>."

I have no degrees myself, very much identify with the self-learning journey.
That may just be the day I stop using the web. I can picture it now: Me, neo-luddite, weathered and bitter, strung between the maw of capitalism and the precious tranquility of my crafted world.
Things like "Apple isn't providing a list of ISPs that promote iOS in a drop down in the default install" (paragraph 28) or trying to make companies switch from using Chrome to Safari (paragraph 17) or trying to get content providers to make safari specific alterations to their pages that wouldn't work in Chrome (paragraph 33).

Half of DOJ's case about anti-competitive behavior was about the activities that Microsoft took to try to force Netscape out of places through business pressure. Two of the other items were about OEM and licensing, and one was about bundling the browser into the next version of Windows.

I like to think about "Questions nobody wants honest answers to." So here is one, and you can perform an experiment: Go to some kind of forum, maybe Reddit or Quora or Metafilter (just kidding don't do Metafilter unless you are a masochist) and ask the question, "Where can I, as a single hetero male, go to approach women?"

My prediction is that you'll get some "OMG DON'T!" responses, and a lot of "where NOT to," which does not answer the actual question. For there to be relationships and/or sex, somebody has to make the approach, and that means a location in spacetime, a where and a when.

The workplace, previously one of the largest places where this occurred, has been ruled out, which is a bit troublesome given that most people spend a rather large percentage of their time there. Oh, we kinda stopped going to church, so that is out. Bowling alone ... uh ... then maybe you ask about the library and someone will say "I'm just there to study" or a bar and it becomes "I'm just there to hang out with my friends." Always in the negative.

Where are these approaches to take place? Have we collectively decided to hand this over to match.com, Tinder, Grindr, whatever, and now it is all online?

If relationships and sex were food and water, there's chunk of people who would expect you to politely starve to death and not make a lot of noise about it.

No matter how much work you put into setting up a scam, you'll never be able to beat the H1B lottery.

Companies know that they can pay less money to people in poor countries because an American wage in a third world country would have them live like kings. Going the honest route significantly cuts your profits if you live in these countries.

The "Plamen" person linked in this blog says he was educated in Sofia and Veliko Turnovo, Bulgaria. The average salary in Bulgaria ranges from $18k to $30k depending on the city (taking the optimistic route, here, sites like https://www.zaplatomer.bg/en/salaries-in-country give much lower numbers!); with an expected wage starting at $59k, they would be able to live a wealthy life earning twice the average wage just by getting lowballed by an American company. Spending that wage from a small California apartment wouldn't be nearly as profitable and comfortable as it would be living from a nice house in Bulgaria. All they'd need is a good internet connection and a shifted sleep schedule to take part in meetings.

That's assuming the guy can actually deliver on his tasks. My guess would be that these scammers have limited technical skills and rely on waiting for the slow evaluation process to fire them and then moving on to the next company.
Maybe I'm crazy, but I remember when I was little red delicious were crisp and sweet and juicy and perfect in every way. Then over the years, they became more and more hit-or-miss, until they became the mealy, flavorless kind you're describing. I've always been curious what the truth is there.

Reminds me of the first time I had the opportunity to travel abroad. Until that point, I had always thought I hated bananas. All the stores I'd ever been to in the US only sold Cavendishes. They're stiff and stringy and have very little flavor. But the ones at the produce stand weren't like that at all; they were vibrant, sweet, custardlike, and melted in my mouth. My second thought after the initial shock of how delicious the first bite tasted was the realization that I'd been lied to the agricultural industry for decades and the hollow sting of betrayal from being sold-out by my countrymen.
Big fan of Serious Eats but it seems weird he would dismiss the multi-variety approach, I always do this. What doesn't make sense to him (mix of soft and firm) is precisely why you want two varieties. Most serious apple pie recipes suggest at least two varieties and it is the best approach.

It's generally all the OTHER details that people conveniently skim over in these descriptions that get people hurt, or the less obvious exposure to unexpected risks for the counterparty.

As a (pretty common) comparison - if a gay man marries a woman, has kids, does the whole couple thing and blends in, but periodically goes to clubs or gay bars, or has a boyfriend on the side, who are they really hurting?

What about the equivalent straight man with a mistress on the side? Or two? Or the woman with a side man?

Well, as long as everything goes perfect, I guess just themselves by pretending to be someone they aren't most of their lives and having to lie to everyone every day. And certainly the cards have been stacked against them in a great number of societies and environments (to the point of death penalties in some cases if they don't hide), so it's hard to blame them for hiding doing it in those situations if they really can't stop.

But it almost never just goes perfectly forever does it? Eventually, either someone finds out (and now they're exposed to blackmail risk, or a bitter divorce and lots of bad publicity), or someone gets sick with something they shouldn't have been able to, or pregnant, or whatever. There were a decent number of counterparties in supposedly monogamous relationships over the years that have gotten diseases they should not have been able to get, including HIV, from this type of stuff. It can trigger severe emotional trauma in people. Folks get killed over this kind of thing somewhat frequently.

From a corporate equivalent, think - traceable customer information leak. Or attackers get control of the corporate network through a hidden VPN endpoint configured to allow these contractors in to do things, and do things from crypto-ransom the company to outright rob the company blind.

An acquaintance at a company I only briefly worked at years ago got busted for siphoning MILLIONS of dollars through phony affiliates he'd setup at the company. He was in charge of the affiliate program. I never cared for him, and wasn't particularly surprised, and was part of the reason I left once I saw what I had gotten myself into, but it was a good cautionary tale.

The company had been really happy with overall performance, they just hadn't noticed the extra 'tax' they were paying him until he did something else sketchy and they started looking closer.

The reason to avoid doing sketchy things, is because they inevitably have hidden costs, from cognitive overhead from constantly tracking all the lies, to real risks of extreme bad problems that others are being exposed to. It's often lucrative enough however, that there is always the temptation.

It's why 'sunshine is the best disinfectant' is still so true.

After all, generally if everyone was actually comfortable with it and it's side effects, there would be no need to be sketchy about it.
Good question. I don't think we have a clear answer yet. Ideally I think we want to be agnostic to these things as much as possible, so as to fit into whatever orchestration systems people are already using. At the same time, I personally have very little experience with k8s so it's hard for me to say what will work well there.

Abstractly speaking, I expect we need to build some workflow tooling around the nanoservices concept, since somehow all your teams' nanoservices eventually need to land on one machine where one workerd instance loads them all. But should we do that by updating whole container images, or distributing nanoservice updates to existing containers, or...?

This would be a great discussion topic for the "discussions" tab in GitHub. :)
Ask HN: Are ad revenue still a viable way to monetize an app in 2022?
Do you have examples of app that still make their main profits from ad revenue ? If so, are their better alternatives than AdSense to put ads on a website ?

I guess a typical answer would be "it depends on the app", so I'll give a bit of context, you can skip if you don't care: I'm building an app which fetch and process big amount of data from multiplayer game, and users can check their data and stats (similar to op.gg for those who know). Processing and storing such data is costly, and ads seems like the most natural way to monetize the app, since ideally users would regularly come and check multiple pages
Specifically, the Rosetta stone was looted by the French during Napoleon's invasion of Egypt, and then carted away by the British after they defeated the French. There are two sides to this, but none of them are Egyptian.
Just because it's cynical doesn't mean it's wrong.
Your succinct summary is wonderful. The only reason I felt the need to expand is because I don't think many 'teachings' phrase the lessons in that way. The main teachings I've heard are "believe and be saved" or "faith and works" - both of which omit the direct lesson you put in one sentence, that does build on an interpretation of scriptures. This omission leaves people like me to self-select, without realizing, a 'local maxima' that martyrdom is all there is. Believing that martyrdom is pure soothes high performance anxiety, in an almost 'perfect medication' way. This 'medication' is some people's first step, to become fully 'honorable.' To me, 'honor' is the higher state that I almost missed out on - and even still I recognize my current view of 'honor' as the global maxima may still be surpassed by a divinely nobler aim.
Ask HN: Are there any good “Caller ID” apps for iPhone out there?
I'm asking because I sometimes get calls from numbers I don't recognize. Now, blocking those calls is trivially simple on iPhone, it's just a switch under "settings".

But I am a curious person. I want to know who or what company called me.

Some Caller ID apps force the user to upload their entire contact list. I am not interested in those. I consider that a breach of my privacy. Maybe that is their true monetization method? Reselling contact lists?
Well I use both extensively, and I'm very confident that I can write a script of 1000 lines with much less bug and much better error handling that in bash, in half the time it would take me.

In fact, as soon as you need to use arrays, it's game over.

This has always been my experience hiring consultant teams. (Unless you're hiring a team from a consultancy that only has enough staff to field a single team, that is.)

I'm not sure if this is specific to government procurement, but when hiring teams for federal contracts, some personnel on the team described in the proposal would be "key" and others would not. Key personnel could only be replaced by mutual agreement, and non-key personnel could be replaced at will by the bidder.

The alternative was to continue to let people live in the surrounding forests while shooting up heroin with dirty needles, trashing the woods and causing lengthy service calls for police and ambulance. This way they are all in one spot and are serviced by clean needle program, etc...

What's your solution?
Grease points already have a standard: zerk fittings, but many car parts don’t have them anymore, so you end up replacing all of these “sealed” “lifetime” bearings/joints entirely because they dried out and creak away.

Would be cool if a bicycle bottom bracket or hub had those fittings.

I volunteer at a bike co-op and between the generations, there’s been a toooooon of “standards”.

Frequent mixes of imperial and metric. A French/Italian/British bike may have the opposite threading on parts than you expect. Different widths of spindles and wheel dishing and spoke lengths and oh my!

How many mm wide would you like your tire? And will it even fit? Can you use that 700C accessory on your 27” or are you SOL?

If we didn’t have a boneyard of bikes to scavenge from/strip for parts, we’d get nowhere.

Then the corrosion issues when you “upgrade” to an aluminum seat post or stem on a steel frame…

I guess part of this problem is the durability of bicycles. Cars probably have the same problem but their lifespan is a lot more limited.

Lots of (small s) specialized tools out there because the manufacturer never intended for you to actually take the thing apart. Every design of freewheels required a different tool to remove.

Definitely assembled several Frankenstein-bikes in my lifetime where you’ll need a rather diverse set of tools from different generations of bikes to eventually repair!
