Neat!

I wish it also worked with something like xterm.js, a terminal in the browser.

Either by compiling .Net to WASM... Like Client-Side Blazor does, right?

...or using client-server technology... Like Server-Side Blazor does, right?
I trust a Pixel 5a with GrapheneOS where everything on my phone is encrypted, and in the future I won't even have any personal information on my phone. Don't care much for smartphones other than the fact my generation really likes Discord.
Both have lower interchange rates specific to charities; it's highly likely Facebook can flag the charitable donation transactions as such.
For traditional landline residential service in the US there are 3 types of calls. Local, local toll and long distance. The US is divided into Local Access and Transport Areas (LATA). Each LATA is also divided into local exchanges. Each LATA is operated by a Regional Bell Operating Company (RBOC).

Local calls are calls which stay within a local exchange and there is usually no charge for them. Calls between local exchanges within a LATA, intraLATA, are local toll calls and are billed. These days there is expanded local exchange calling which allows for calling between certain local exchanges within a LATA without a fee, but back in the day this didn't really exist. Long distance calls are those which go between different LATAs.

Local toll calls were the most expensive calls to make because there was no competition for those calls. There were multiple competing long distance services which kept costs lower for those.

Depending upon where your local exchange boundary fell calling a local BBS could be more expensive than calling one that was across the country. My local user group BBS was physically located 20 miles from me but was in my local exchange so no charge to call. A friend who was physically located 2 miles from me ran a BBS and it was an expensive local toll call for me.

This is based upon how the system has worked since the AT&T breakup in the early 80s. Not sure how it worked prior to that. I didn't start using BBS's until shortly after the breakup happened.
It's like social media. Europe was the Pope's subreddit. Don't piss off the moderator. It ain't rational but it's true.
Couldn't you just use your preferred inking app, then export as image?

I ask this as someone who much prefers atomization with good interoperability to bloated everything applications (and who has a phone and laptop with active stylus.)
Sounds pretty dystopian to me.
Civil Engineering is a junk degree!? I was going to say Architecture but I thought CivEng was playing it safe. Wow. Ok so can I take another punt - Mechanical Engineering? Is that worthy?

I'm really puzzled by your second part, so you have kids who have sufficient deposit saved up, and a high-enough salary to qualify for a suitably-sized mortgage ... but the difference between their current rent and the would-be mortgage repayments is high enough that specifically their student debt repayments are stopping them?

That's an incredibly unique problem. I mean, as someone who is probably within a few years of your kids' age, the overwhelming problems in our age groups are the deposit and the price itself beyond beyond what a bank would lend based on salary. Everyone I know who is struggling to get onto the ladder is facing these two problems. I was lucky with where I bought and more importantly when I bought (on the eve of a 3x price boom) otherwise I might have hit the same issues.
I think you dramatically underestimate the harshness of a “rational” system. According to one study 63% of violent crimes are committed by 1% of the population (your mileage may vary but the order of magnitudes will be about the same).

This implies that a person that commits any violent crime should be imprisoned for an extremely long time, because the odds are very good that they’ll assault, rape, rob or murder someone else.

Said another way, with the policy of locking people up for a very very long time on a first (violent) offense, you would eliminate nearly half of all violent crime- and that’s not even counting the deterrent effect.
Only a small portion of that massive omnibus law, and every massive omnibus bill, is needed. The remainder is made up of special interest lobbying and donor class favors.
> Why would any well qualified minority go to msf for 120k in Atlanta if they can get 240 in Mountain view + relocation bonus?

Because their family is in the Southeast, and because that $120k leads to a better overall living standard than $240k in Mountain View. Especially if one is raising/planning on raising children, proximity to family is a really important variable.

A process that systematically skips people who won't relocate to the West Coast is suboptimal in a world where we know remote work works.

> facetime is irrelevant, because of relocation. Very few will stay at MSFT in Atlanta for 100k if they can double pay + relo to CA/Seattle. Google does have office in atlanta, btw.

Reed Hastings and Tim Cook, among others, disagree with you. Google does have an Atlanta office, but most of FAANG does not have significant engineering presence there (Microsoft does). Notable that Google expects engineers in Atlanta to come to their office, even though their teams will likely be in other cities. This is the canonical definition of face-time.

And again, $100k in Atlanta or Dallas is roughly equivalent to $200k in the Bay or Seattle. Add in externalities like family and climate (everybody does not like the Bay climate!) and it's not as straightforward as you make it.

> because in Minneapolis metro is about 3.5M people and Target can tap from talent pool of 3.5M, while places like Bay Area can tap from global talent pool (7B people)

If you think everyone wants to move to the Bay, I probably can't convince you otherwise. But please consider that some people a) don't like the climate b) are married to people whose jobs are elsewhere c) prefer a lifestyle that includes homeownership.
It’s not about cutting the employee. It’s about vesting and the timing of the firing.

I’d consider firing immediately and granting their vesting as if they stayed through the month as part of the termination package.
For some reason, macOS will truncate your bash_history if your free space on your drive is low. No idea why they chose to truncate a small text file.

I suspect the majority of the "AI" for these moderation systems is "has this been reported by X number or Y% percentage of post viewers? then ban".
It's funny how these journalists spend all this time researching these stories but miss a very important point - Google and Apple take a 30% cut off in-app purchases. Governments take sales taxes/VAT as well - up to 25% in some European countries.

It's not TikTok pocketing 70%.
> 2. Kanye wasn’t “calling for death con 3”, nor did I ever claim that the truckers were?

Kanye did do that, that is likely the reason JPM closed his accounts. I think the person you’re speaking with thought you knew that and were comparing the truckers protesting to that.
These drugs are sometimes prescribed in cases of extreme medication-resistant Anxiety and Depression. My significant other is prescribed lamotrigine precisely for this reason.

I've been really surprised that this hasn't been a political issue. These loans were a good deal larger than the student loans that've been forgiven, and a dream come true to anyone who's ever made money from fraud.
Fun! I just moved over to Obsidian because of the simplicity. I love that I can use the local folder just as easily as the full app.

Tip for anyone wondering: if you need encryption, gocryptfs works great.

Now I just need to wait for Flathub to update…
> Queries using SELECT DISTINCT can now be executed in parallel.

This sounds quite interesting, but I would assume it does not always work? I didn't see this mentioned in the linked documentation, does someone know when/how the parallel distinct works?
> Sugar consumption is known to help with symptoms of ADHD, as do other dopamine-inducing activities

Sorry to say, that is absolute bollocks. Sugar is ADHD in powdered form, and both in personal experience and the professional advice from my psychiatrist is to stay as far away from sugar as possible.

Also, symptoms of ADHD != ADHD. Many things cause lower baseline levels of dopamine in the brain, but not all of them are ADHD, the disorder itself.

Personally, as a diagnosed ADHD sufferer, the lower the amount of carbs I ingest, the better my executive centre functions. In fact, yesterday I have had a little more sugar than my regular strict diet and my motivation today has tanked to absolute zero. It's a feeling I have known all my life.

Please provide some sources because your comment goes against all professional and scientific advice.
I know you're joking, but I wish I had client-server support with xterm.js or something similar.

I'd like to write MUDs (Multi-User Dungeon games) in C#...
Interesting. I'll be switching from Logseq to Obsidian as the outline-only mode in Logseq felt limiting.
Everyone at Facebook intentionally signed up to get paid from the data invasive ad money fire hose. They very much did it on purpose.
Thanks for compiling this!

Postgres’ history usually suggests they don’t ship broken database features which is why most of us reach for it as a first option when choosing a database. The MSSQL warning sounds bad enough that I’d never use this feature!
No, not $965 million for financial damage. Part of it was for psychological damage.
Hardly surprising. No different or in fact worse than the alternatives then for monetisation and pleasing the algorithm. So once again TikTok screwing over their billions of users.

Why would anyone expect anything different or better, when the same privacy violations, monetization leeching is happing again as this time it is competing to be worse than the rest?
> You're protected, but it also means you can never upgrade anything.

You're protected, and it means you have to test your system _before_ upgrading.

Also, I think I'm working with a much broader definition of what "a dependency" is than you are. I consider `Alpine Linux 3.16.2` to be an atomic thing; I don't try to track the state of every single binary that comes along for the ride.

But if I depend on something to be executable from my application, like `ffmpeg 5.1.2` or whatever, I _would_ version lock that, and install it myself as part of the build script.

Then, when `Alpine 3.17` or `ffmpeg 5.2` comes out, I can bump to those versions, run our integration tests, and verify nothing broke.
It depends on if you’re a manager or a leader. A leader would, in fact, consider the whole team because they operate on trust. A manager wouldn’t give a fuck.
How do you think government debt is going to fix inflation? Your "proposal" would actually make inflation worse.
> Just like public transport, opera and theatre can't possibly fund itself just from tickets

That's not true.

Operas and theatres can fund themselves. But subject to 2 key points: They need to program a sufficient number of popular shows that will turn a profit (an experimental avant-gardist performance might not sell out, a popular comedian might, popular and famous shows/musicals in London's West End or NYC's Broadway are raking it in), and the number of venues must be commensurate with the actual demand.
This is "back in my day"-levels of lazy armchair criticism. Nothing has changed. People will always make decisions that you disagree with, and they are more likely than not doing it in a good faith attempt to benefit the community. These sorts of inflammatory and hyperbolic comments help nobody, and are just childishly over-the-top. egrep going away is not evidence of moral or ethical bankruptcy, just wow.

Sure but Kanye’s not criticising Israel’s foreign policy. This is fairly clearly a racist rant.
Is it 70%?

App stores are taking 30% off the top. The article doesn't talk about that, so I wonder if they are taking the total and working from there.

$1000 in donations means $300 to the app store, which would leave $400 for TikTok and $300 for the streamer. While that still doesn't look as good, 40% is significantly less than 70%.

Edit: In the test they performed, it's clear they are ignoring the app store fee. Simply put, this is a really misinformed article at best.
Julia which is missing ties for 7th in articles, and ranks 5th in comments.
This is one of those opinions that sounds smart but doesn’t make any sense to anyone with more than a passing familiarity with it.

A large chunk of experts do not see China as the likely world next superpower, many experts are debating if China will survive as a unified nation in the next decades.

China has finally admitted to lying about their population for decades, they have some of the worst demographics in the world, along with the single worst food security and greatest debt load in recorded history.

No serious person outside of anonymous online forums would ever describe any of these things as ingredients to success, and this is k my a small sampling of their long term problems.

This is even ignoring India, a country with much better strategic advantages and an actually growing population.

The idea that China was next was popular by experts in 2005.
I doubt they bother, they probably just pay whatever low fees they negotiate and then count the fees they have to pay for the charitable ones out of their slush fund and count it as an expense. It's not like they aren't getting income in other areas.

The marketplaces that are entirely charitable stuff have to charge or source (they often have a checkbox you can use to "donate" to cover the fees, so you give $10.30 instead of $10 so the charity gets $10).

I assure you that you will pick up the meaning of the symbols more quickly than you imagine.

As for typing, there is usually a prefix key (like a leader in vim) followed by a single character to insert one of the symbols. It might actually be easier than hunting for the curly braces.
I see this as "Joplin, just not nearly as free (speech or beer)." Why would I pay monthly for sync and have no control, when I can already sync to my own s3 buckets and only pay for AWS storage and transfer?

Is there a compelling reason to switch from Joplin to Obsidian? Honest question.
Fine. Block that IP on every port.
Basically, yes, it will literally just be faster.

Yeah, this seems dumb or at least short sighted. If you make it free for individuals, but limit collaboration, then you get those users arguing for their companies to buy the service, which is where the real money is.

He's working on version 2.0 of the Nature Of Code which is more P5.js based than "processing" based (processing is p5's faster, platform native, but non web based sibling.).

I've used p5.js to make my nieces animated birthday notes.

There is a video series on the 2.0 (p5.js):

github repo for version 2 of the books site (which doesn't appear to be live yet..)
https://github.com/nature-of-code/book-website-2nd-edition

Dan Shiffman is pretty great at explaining and introducing things. Coding Train videos get kinda advanced, which is slightly at odds with the "kid" like graphics.

The processing foundation is the umbrella group for p5.js, processing and some other tools (android and python based).

the page is somewhat sad. seems like an individual with a lot of forward looking and upbeat views on the world, but completely lacking a whole lot of perspective, some basic education regarding economics.

and well, the pedophilia thing.

he self-describes as non-competitive so probably doesn't care, but he could simply be so much more, as a person, and all the ingredients are there. but likely will waste away most of their life as a (in the best case) relatively benign weirdo.

but they are likely in a social situation where nobody will give them that perspective and education. and society certainly isn't set up to detect and help these people on its own.
Even for the millions-paid CEOs it doesn't end up much when divided out among all the workers.

You can do much more for retail workers as a customer by not being an ass and by doing things like putting things back where you found them instead of leaving eggs in amongst the produce, etc.

Wait, how is it a failure? I get that their cases have doubled in recent months, but that doubling is from 250 cases a week to 500[1] and their highest spike was a brief 5,000 number of cases in April.

Whereas the US, with a much smaller population, has been rocking at least 10,000 cases a day (and far more deaths) all year, with almost all of May to July having more than 100,000 cases a day.

This point is not important.Not even comparable.

One is a purchase in the shop, another one is a charitable donation.
And google does not take 30% from charitable donations.
This is extremely misleading. Legacy media sells ads. Infowars sells products.
Huh? This is when you go to the grocery story and at checkout they ask if you want to donate to the Red Cross or St Judes Hospital for Children or some other large well known charity. This isn't a donation to the employees, although I've seen tip jars you could use to tip the folk who bag your groceries if you'd like.

Thankfully, it appears, according to another responder that they're not taking chunks of money out of these donations and they're getting to the charities.
That was my bible back in the days, together with PC-GPE! As i remember there was a phone number in one of the files, and one day when i came home from school and my dad wasn't home, i secretly used our phone to make an international phone call to it. I had no idea what to say, so i just hung up as soon as the person on the other end answered!? :) Just hearing the voice of my idol was cool enough i guess.

Good note. Byte-range requests are supported by default for static content on all web servers, so to your point, this won't work if you've explicitly turned it off.
The thought is pretty straight forward.
Prices are a function of supply and demand.
If buyers have more cash, they are willing to pay more, so prices go up.
If you increase the money supply and that money gets into the hands of buyers, the prices will rise.

I read this book, "Measuring The Cosmos", a few years ago, and it talks about the various ways we use to establish distances to such far objects. The book describes how we grew our "measuring tape" so to speak. We started with learning accurate distances to things closer, the distance from the Sun to Earth, an AU, being one of those. That's useful for local solar system distances, but the numbers become too big for human consumption when measuring further objects. Light years became the next rung on the ladder. Parsecs next, etc.

Now, we use certain types of stars like pulsars that have known brightness for the particular frequencies. Once we find a new pulsar that matches, we can compare how bright it is to others of the same type. If it is brighter, it is closer. If it is dimmer, it is further away. I'm way way oversimplifying it, but hopefully it gets the concept across.

> Do you have any examples where this happens? I read a lot of blogs, but hardly see any in-depth discussions appearing under the posts.

Scott Alexander's blogs, Slate Star Codex[1] and Astral Codex Ten[2]. Andrew Gelman's Blog[3]. Marginal Revolution[4], though that doesn't seem heavily moderated.

> Also, when the author moderates, do you trust any critique to stay online and maybe even be countered?

No, but that's why I like both. I like seeing a discussion not moderated by the author, like on HN, to see more criticism, but I also like seeing a discussion more respectful towards the author, especially on topics where on HN I'd only see contempt towards to the author.
