Stop. Running a large instance for people you don't tangentially know for hundreds of people or worse yet thousands of people is a bad idea.

The Fediverse has had plenty of instances come and go, the last thing needed is a large, poorly moderated instance costing you significant money for servers, S3 compatible storage, etc.

Participating in an existing community run instance to make use of your community management skills would provide much more value to the Fediverse, and coincidentally you won't be the single point of failure with no backup (which causes burnout).

Doing both server maintenance and moderation at scale is unreasonable for one person IMO. But I've only spent half a decade on the Fediverse now...

> I am starting to wonder lately if all this "implicit language security" (use Rust, use Go so you don't have memory errors, overflows, etc.) is not just some way to shift accountability to some other layer.

No, it's a way to eliminate THE MOST COMMON CLASS OF SECURITY BUG. Boom, gone, because you used safe Rust instead of C.

It doesn't mean you won't discover other bugs -- you will. But those bugs might have lurked undiscovered because you were too busy fighting buffer overflows and UAFs. Any given team of engineers has only so much time and energy; with fewer bug types to eliminate, the same team can get closer to bug-free.

This is why the My Little Pony character alter of your average 25-year-old trans furry plural system wearing uwu kawaii programming socks, working in Rust, can code circles around even the most jaded C grognard with decades of experience -- and will be writing an OS kernel or driver near you.

> I don't know. I do see the value Rust and Go create, but if we follow good software practices in C, don't you think we could ship decent safe software there too? Or are all C programs inherently buggy by default?

All C programs but the most trivial are inherently buggy by default. As I put it, C is unsafe at any speed. Theoretically, it should be possible to establish sound disciplines and best practices to ensure safe C code, but experience has taught us that C is so full of potholes and footguns that it is practically impossible to write safe C even for experienced developers.
Recently having finished The Cuckoo's Egg by Cliff Stole, the book was the first thing I thought of when seeing this article. At the time he describes how the usage of one OS and/or syntax over the other even suggested one's geographical region.

When you turn off power, it might generate some unintended signals on the MCU pins that the screen has time to interpret before shutting down.

You could try setting the pins to Z state (floating) before turning off to see if it makes a difference.

AWS has a dedicated environment (GovCloud) for US government use. Only US citizens and green card holders are eligible to be granted access to it.

They don't (in my personal experience) seem to be concerned about the nationality of the developers – but if the developer is non-US, they won't be able to gain any access to the production instance. They have to hand the app over to a US person who will be responsible for installing/configuring/operating it. Sometimes (especially when there is a problem), the non-US developer may be telling the US SRE/sysadmin/etc what command to type, but still a US person has to be the one doing the typing.

And that's just non-classified systems, for classified systems the rules are even tougher. I remember once a colleague was writing some code on a classified project (actually for the Australian government, but this story could just as easily have happened in the US) to call some API, he told me he was having some problems. I asked him if he could show me his code. "Sorry, I can't, it is classified." "How can your code to call that API be classified?" "Everything we write while on-site is automatically classified, and trying to get it declassified is too hard". He agreed he'd go home, and rewrite the problematic code from memory, and then give that to me. In the process of doing so, he worked out what he was doing wrong, he didn't need my help in the end.

What is up with the fact that like 95% of people in "polyamorous" relationships have a very identifiable set of phenotypes? A lot of them are pudgy, low muscle mass, pasty, etc.

Not trying to throw shade - legitimately curious why they all seem to fit into this category. It's not clear to me if polyamory allows them easier access to sex than monogamy or something - it certainly does't seem to get them access to partners that would be out-of-reach otherwise, as most polyamorous groups seem to be within a relatively similar attractiveness band.

I _don't_ want democracy in my workplace. I want to be able to choose a workplace that doesn't offer democracy. Why would you want to remove that choice from me?

I don't want my working life to be governed by what a bunch of other people vote for. I get plenty of that from the real government.

I'd rather have strong and competent management that can make credible commitments. And the mechanism to get there is not ballot boxes, but my ability to walk away from any workplace I don't like. The ability to vote with my feet.

Just like I don't want to eat at a burger place where the other customers get to vote. I just want to be able to eat at Burger King, if I don't like what McDonald's has to offer.

Worker cooperatives are already legal in most countries. Including worker cooperatives that are run on whatever theory of democracy you prefer.
> It will be unsupported. Bugs and security vulnerabilities will accrue making it less and less valuable over time. [...] are the first ones to claim FOSS is okay stuck at a particular version. Every company keeping their stack stuck on the permissive license is risking a log4j style event in the future.

Your example shows the opposite of what you intended to show. It was the people stuck at a particular version of log4j (the old unsupported log4j 1.x branch) who avoided the vulnerability, while the ones who kept up-to-date with the maintained log4j 2.x branch were vulnerable. And it also shows the power of a permissive license: for those stuck at the older log4j 1.x branch, which had been abandoned by its maintainers, there's now a fork by someone else (https://reload4j.qos.ch/) which is being maintained.
Thanks, and best of luck! It's at least 10,000 times easier to lob comments your way than actually build the thing, so please take everything with a grain of salt.

I've seen a lot of Monday/Asana/Trello islands in larger orgs, where someone got a foothold for their 3-10 person team but now it can't ever scale. To some extent, using those tools is betting that you'll never actually be successful (if success will require scaling the people/functions that need to be involved). What's the plan for your customers once their thing works and they want to grow?

How about this: We can make a struct and then have a function that bails out if for some reason the fields are not adjacent in the struct. Possibly even at compile time. In practice, this will work on basically any compiler.

Once we know we have this struct, are there any remaining barriers to the cast and -1 access?

Agreed on that one. Contexts definitely feel bolted on and unnatural. The sql libs for example all have 'Do' and 'DoContext', where 'Do' is any one of the operations you'd typically use.

Worth noting there was a mass exodus this weekend, too [0] as 3 billion left exchanges.

If exchanges want to be taken seriously than do a daily/weekly audit and PoR and then MAYBE this custodial BS can be included in a risk tolerance assessment; until then it's caveat emptor I'm afraid.

The low volume means that we are going to see some crazy price swings again in volatility, too.

We need to go through these growing pains for progress to be made, part of being in this ecosystem is based on not having this be an issue as you are your own bank, and a litany of hardware devices have been made in addition to the admittedly complex cold storage solutions of yore but still people want to keep these funds on exchanges they do so with the understanding that they operate in an incredibly precarious situation.

I'm not versed into the question, but 19th century 13 yo girls or even early 20th century women don't feel like having a lot of say on what job they will take and won't be pounding the fist on the table when things don't go the way they want. Which makes it so much more poignant when they go on strike.

My hunch would go towards poor families being ok with the girls working away somewhere for 14 hours, even for very low wages, as they won't have money to send them to school anyway, and won't benefit from having them stay at home either.

My mental image of being a poor kid in that period,, especially a girl, is pretty grim to be honest.

Setting up is still the easy part, managing (the bureaucracy part, not the actual business) and getting rid of it is much more involved.

I don’t see any positive factors to being in Germany as an entrepreneur, only reason to be there is if the business can’t do otherwise (eg serving something physical to a German customer) or you already inherited something and the cost of moving would massively outweigh the benefits.

Edit: note on the inheriting part, afaik if it’s a company they tax you for the sale if you move your tax residency away (in the EU you have a few years to pay, otherwise right away). That’s also another risk when setting something up in Germany.
Luckily, that's different.

Ask HN: What happens to YC standard MFN when there is no round?
As my name says, I am a startup noob and never founded. According to https://www.ycombinator.com/deal, YC invests a 375k$ chunk as a Most Favored Notion provision.

Let’s say the following is the situation:

- I can convince YC to accept me in a batch

- …and that even though my idea is in a draft state, without customers

- My idea will possibly make a huge revenue (not billions, but it will be a great business still)

- I only need the initial 500k$ to build that great business as a single founder

- I do not want a follow-up investment round

- The business will continue operation and won’t shut down

Two questions:

1. Do I need to pay back the 375k$ if there will never be another round?

2. Would it be illegal/breaking any contracts if I knowingly receive money from YC with the intention to never collect any additional investor money?

Side note: I understand it’s highly unlikely YC will ever invest into such a startup because it’s not a real VC case but for the sake of it, let’s imagine they would.

Thank you!

>I haven't seen any government want to use blockhains or anything decentralized for their CDBCs. They are not a copy of cryptocurrencies.

Wrong, they are. Just because you haven't seen or studied it, doesn't mean it isn't so:
The United Kingdom wants CBDCs[0] for a while now and guess who is helping them in developing those technologies? Blockchain companies, because CBDCs are heavily inspired by prominent blockchains and their innovation of programmable money.
So please read correctly what I've actually written "to copy cryptocurrencies for their own CBCDs but stripping it from everything that prevents them from having full domination* over their respective populations" - Of course they would not want to copy the decentralization property because they want to maximize their power. governments only want to copy those properties which help them in that regard as I already explained.

>There are countries that issued their own cryptocurrencies and it didn't really work out.

So what? Cryptocurrencies are not a miracle cure that will fix a broken economy. We have already seen what every nation on the planet does when they can arbitrarily print money out of thin air, they abuse it, every single one of them. Cryptocurrencies can only help a nation that actually wants to act rationally and is not corrupt to the core.

>It is more appropriate to consider CDBCs to be the digital equivalent to cash.

Wrong. Cash is anonymous, which governments do not like at all, that's exactly the reason why CBDCs are the authoritarian ruler's dream tool. It gives them full control via programmability, eliminates privacy and establishes a surveillance capitalist dystopia.

That is never the case in the VC model; who knows you will always be more important than what you know or who you know. It's often tolerated because the king makers like Altman at YV spread the funds far enough for it to be seen as 'fair' but it's always been an insiders game if you wanted anything but a total take over for funding since capital got so concentrated in those systems.
Rails is what pays the bills :) Just because I don't like _parts_ of Rails doesn't mean I will completely abandon it. This occurs in other parts of my life too. I find it really inefficient to use allen keys to tighten hex screws, so I recently bought a set of hex heads. Now I can use them with my screwdriver. Doesn't mean that I've sworn off allen keys altogether though, because sometimes they come in handy in particular circumstances.

I just use the right tool for the job, and in this place I do not think strong parameters is the right tool for the job.
Dude. You’ve avoided answering a simple question, and instead just keeping repeating the same attempt to distract from the topic at hand through repeated condescension. It doesn’t make you look smart. In fact, it does the exact opposite.

You write that this is more focused on personal productivity, yet everything from your copy to the features seems to be focused on teams.

There’s nothing wrong with that, but what I am taking away as someone who wants a personal PM tool from your positioning is that most future updates will be team productivity focus rather than individual productivity. Therefore, I shouldn’t invest in it as an individual.

Really cool PM tool overall tho!
Launching a wiring harness tool for synchronized documentation built on top of wireviz. Thoughts? suggestions / feedback?
It’s mostly enterprise stuff. I have a local rails app and local springboot app that I keep around and am constantly trying stuff out in. If it starts to look like it would be generally useful I will rip it out, put it in it’s own repo, set it up in a jenkins pipeline, and then have the jar/gem published to an internal artifactory instance. Then I can just include the jar or gem in other codebases as needed. Works great and keeps me from doing a bunch of boilerplate for something which may go nowhere.
Yeah, managing is some work. The best is to find one of those Steuerberatungsgesellschaft and let them guide you through everything. Filing taxes will cost you €2500+ per year for a GmbH, €1300 for an UG.
