You should be focusing on a desired objective in the linux environment and then allow them to outline the steps to get to that objective.

PHP, despite its age, is actually pretty nice to work in these days. It's mature, well documented, has a good standard lib, and easy dependency management. It only really makes sense if you're doing web apps though.

Hmm, how so? A thumbs up is more bytes, and thus more poignant.
The poors man continuation monad and free monad papers both in Haskell, led me to consider how amazing the function join :: m (m a) -> m an implies you never leave the monad. Always one layer left! And how that represents effects. Uau!
WWII was won with American Steel, Russian Blood, and British Intelligence.
All of your counterexamples except for the 1967 Arab/Israeli war (which I would argue is an outlier due to an extreme difference in military competence between the two sides) share a key factor: political unwillingness to do whatever it took to win. In WW II, there was no such hampering factor in play.
> I stopped reading your rant here because it's clear you are not familiar with financial regulations.

I think the issue is with shifting expectations with no clear way to terminate a business relationship. Not sure how being "familiar with financial regulations" would change that.

For what it's worth, harry8's post inspired me to close my Paypal account while I still can. Done.
If you include CSS, it's pretty far from done... they keep adding new things all the time.

But yeah HTML by itself is pretty fixed now and new stuff happens in CSS and JS.

Some thoughts in the few minutes I have at the moment. From my past 5 years being involved with a specialized volunteer group:

* Ensure that your volunteers can see direct positive results of their work. (Throwing your effort into a black hole sucks, even if it is having a positive effect somewhere.)

* Ensure your volunteers are receiving personal growth/learning from their involvement.

* Give people responsibility & ownership of areas or tasks.

* Let go of people who aren't showing up to make room for new folks who (hopefully) will.

* Attrition is a thing. Streamline your training and onboarding and keep the flow of new people coming in.
I don't customize my resume, but if a recruiter asks me to highlight a particular technology, I will temporarily add it to my resume if they legitimately think it will help.

For shotgunning applications, I don't customize. Way too much effort.

There are several reasons why they wouldn't want to associate with a public server.

While the verification green check mark is nice, it is much better to have PR hosted on toot.company.com instead.

Furthermore, there's the "who can see what" - https://restoreprivacy.com/mastodon-privacy-issues-risks/

That's a BIG "companies should be hosting their own servers."
Something smells fishy if you look into this.

- If you look at after hours trading, nothing really happened. In fact, the stock actually had a strong up bar for a little bit.

- Also, since Eli Lilly posted an official tweet stating the news was fake within 3 hours, again we should have seen something in after hours trading, but there is nothing there. This is a huge amount of lead time before market open of the next day.

- A bunch of other companies all crashed at market open at the same time as Eli Lilly. Maybe you could argue that Eli Lilly fake news crashed all the pharmaceutical stocks, but CVS and Cigna which are healthcare, not pharma also crashed. Cigna lost over 10% compared to Eli's 6%. It doesn't add up that fake news on pharma Eli would punish healthcare Cigna even more.

Unfortunately I can't play due to the HN hug of death, but I just want to say that this is a great idea. Chess is a wonderful game on its own, but having a synchronous element to the game and information asymmetry seems like it could add a lot of depth.

Apple had a long history and corresponding fan base, which helped, and of course Steve Jobs.

Microsoft invested some money in Apple to help alleviate anti-trust issues, but from my reading the more substantive assistance was a commitment to ship Office for Mac.

I'm not sure exactly how "war production" is defined, but I imagine that the war production of the US would not have been nearly as high as the other countries mentioned in 1940 given that the others had already been at war for a year, whereas the US wouldn't enter until 1942.

Totally agree on this.

Good question, but it would be rather unfair to clawback the package when the termination was not due to fault of the employee.

One thing you can try, but it depends on your jurisdiction is for companies that say they don't remove accounts... just use faker to create some random information.

Thanks for the insightful response! Here's some rambling thoughts about what your response made me think about.

I do think it's fair enough to read it as a pro-Elon take, to some degree. I find him to be a fascinating person, because I think there are many useful things to learn about building successful and important companies like Tesla or SpaceX, and I think most of his intentions are genuine (and good and correct). I think there's a lot of cynicism and misinformation and such around his companies that is mostly noise. I don't think it's true that he is dumb or incompetent, or obsessed with money, etc. If you watch a video of him talking about rocket engine design, you can definitely tell that he knows this stuff in great enough detail to be making low-level design decisions – he's always deeply involved, so much so that it's a difficult environment for many people to work in I think.

Now I also have lots of things where I disagree with him – I think he has lots of blind spots and is clearly in a right-wing info bubble (probably because of Twitter!), and I'm not sure I would try to emulate many parts of his workaholic management style, etc.

But also, I don't care as much about offering a moral judgement on him as a person, I can't change him. What's interesting to me is what can be learned. What things he does that are remarkably effective, and why. And conversely, what he does that really pisses people off in such a way that they are likely to ignore those things because they were upset by unrelated things he's said. It's okay to write him off, I understand why people do that, but I want to learn from it!

I would say that I have no idea whether he will be successful with Twitter, but I think he has a decent enough track record with his other companies. But that may not be enough, they are very different companies. And he really has put himself in a pickle, since he's not really acquired a company in the same way, let alone one that has such mindshare. He's certainly dragging his reputation and Twitter's reputation through the mud. But my take is also that Twitter has always been a product that is particularly well-designed to make useful discourse difficult or impossible, and to amplify drama and misinformation. And despite being a platform most people seem to dislike and doesn't have tons of users, it's currently locked in a negative-feedback loop with the news media, and disproportionately influential on the world. I think that's a really bad thing. I would be happy enough if Elon craters it, but I suppose it's also good if he fixes it somehow. It seems ultimately quite important that there is some way for society to have discussions at civilization-scale about what is important to us. Pre-Elon Twitter was not the right platform for that, so destroying it or replacing it is absolutely fine with me.

FTX Implodes, and a Top VC Backer Falls on Its Face
This is contrary to the evidence that I've seen. Outsourcing to countries with a cheaper cost of living seems like an advantage to a US-based company but it comes with tremendous disadvantages including: time zone difference for standup, cultural differences, communication barriers, complex tax situations, etc. All of this over time just leads to incredible technical debt that builds up.
It feels increasingly like wifi-routers and home-servers should increasingly converge. If you have such an expensive thing, why not have a fancy 8-core x86 system with a 5 drive NAS in it? Keep going, don't stop, make it the fixture of the network.

I think mainly this is held back by very few users being such power users. There's just not a lot of great ways to expose the power/capabilities to folk. Starting with some of the existing COTS NAS OS'es would probably be the best starting place.

I find this explanation doubtful. I mean, I agree that the focus on "big battles" is misleading, but any analysis that sidelines the men (and women) who shed their blood and did the fighting is naive. Or at worst, it tries to downplay who actually won the war, inconvenient as it may seem these days.

The focus on materiel losses instead of human lives is puzzling.
Worth noting that (again) logistics are the important factor. Tanks might survive 14 hours in battle, but spend much longer getting there (and there weren't often tank transports available outside railways).
How is funnelling money to their buddies any different than the entire rest of the world? This is how the entire world works, that you think it should somehow be different in charitable causes is the funny part.

In your personal dealings, if you have to buy X and your friend sells it and some random stranger sells it, would you rather buy it from your friend? If the answer is yes(which will be true for 99+% of the entire 8 billion people on the planet), then you are being at the very least a touch hypocritical.

I think with your attitude being fairly common, this good PR perspective doesn't seem to necessarily be true.

As for doing good, what does that have to do with anything? There are tons of non-profits out there, that are objectively failing at their mission. Should they all close as well, just because they had a bad year or two? Clearly whoever is funding and controlling the foundations thinks they are doing good. I guarantee even the most widely accepted non-profits get plenty of criticism at failing to do good. Good is not an objective measure anyway. If I think saving the last 2 stuffed Tux penguin's on the planet is important and I'm willing to pay for their continued survival, what does it matter that you think stuffed Tux Penguins is not doing anything good in the world. It's not your resources used to keep the last 2 stuffed Tux Penguins in good condition.

FYI: Foundations are generally required to spend at least 5% of the total fair market value of its noncharitable-use assets from the preceding year on charitable causes. This means that they will almost certainly close eventually.
There are people who think any moderation is censorship.

Here might be another reason for not working for Musk: he asked an executive of his, Jerome Guillen, to "forfeit some unvested equity" because he thought that "some employees were making more from Tesla than he thought their contributions merited", per WSJ. I assume that Guillen was going to get the unvested equity if Musk didn't ask, otherwise it wouldn't be an issue at all.

To avoid what trouble, specifically?

If it’s risk of customer funds mismanagement, coinbase is just not in the same galaxy as the folks who have blown customer trust.

If it’s securing funds, to prevent hacks, CB offers cold storage. Lumps of crypto can be transferred out of their control as needed to manage risk.
Roger Penrose doesn’t think the universe is computable or a computation. For now, we can’t reconcile general relativity and quantum mechanics, so I really don’t feel we have very strong evidence that it is—thinking it computable seems like an article of faith as well. We also have Godel’s incompleteness theorem—even if it appears we can model the universe as something computable, I think there’s going to be room for mystery, and human consciousness seems like just the sort of strange self-referentiality eddy where that kind of thing would come in to play. I think a lack of free will be unfalsifiable--you'd have to measure all aspects of a brain, including the quantum state, which would change what you observed--so maybe then you can predict it, but you also had a hand in determining it, which undermines what you want to know, that it was determinable.

On the other hand, free will seems to just refer to the feeling you could’ve made a different choice. But you didn’t. I don’t see why people get so defensive about a junk concept. At some level, it doesn’t really seem like there are separate things, and I don’t feel like there’s a need to invoke some kind of separate individual free will aside from the operation of a universal stoicism type logos/the totality of natural law operating as something like a universal “will”
I deliberately left that out because it was to a large extent a proxy conflict once the US started delivering weapons to the Muhajirin in large numbers.

Hot countertake: you have poor judgement on where you volunteer.

I think the key to avoid this is to volunteer in situations where there are smaller groups and are very focused.
Not related to the article, but the auto-play video make for a terrible UX for actually reading the article on mobile:

If you pause the video when you scroll down it will start playing again, and show part of the video stuck to the top of the screen.

The only way to pause it is to keep the video 'open', so you can only read the article with half the screen.

The sad part is that the most common solution is to simply raise property taxes and subsidize rent for local workers.

This does nothing to address the underlying problem, so worker wages remain low, housing prices increase. As a result, the affordability for locals gets worse, and they become more dependent on on wealth transfers with no end in sight.
Yes, exactly! I remember it being something junky that people added to their site because they were desperate for traffic.

Ask HN: Anyone know of a good Hitchhiking app?
In the 1960s/1970s people could hitchhike across the nation without too much trouble. These days that's pretty much impossible, and not due to crime, but paranoia and distrust. (Which is ironic considering we're so much more "connected" today).

Anyone know of a decent app or service where you can have a "hitcher's profile" so people can see where you are, where you're going, ratings from "ride givers" and the like?

I'm going walkabout soon and would love to match a couch surfer profile with a hitchhiker app to travel the country/globe if possible.

Any ideas?
Are you talking about physical paper currency? That’s totally a different issue. What happens if the original depositor deposited via a bank wire and you want to loan out $100 dollars in paper money? You just get some paper money from the FED. Same thing here.
Interesting, that makes perfect sense from the perspective of working with existing browsers. I think it's awesome that the flutter team is making canvas work.

But what I'm curious about is why an average consumer laptop can render a game with 3D projection, PBR, physics, and multiplayer networking, made by a newbie in a game engine. But that same laptop struggles to render a webpage. Even an extremely complex and content-heavy webapp is nothing compared to a game.

There has to be a bottleneck other than dom optimization, right? Like I mentioned before, canvas painting must have huge overhead...

I don't buy any argument that claims one is better than the other. Most of the projects start as monolith, but as time goes on, the project turns into a big ball of mud. There may be a few exceptions, projects that had strong tech leads to enforce boundaries. Have you run into projects where the test suite takes hours to run? So, at some point people decide to enforce the boundaries at the service level, by splitting the monolith to services. Maybe in the future communication between services will become a bottleneck. This might be a good trade off from some perspective. You reduce the blast radius of bad decisions from engineers and make it easier to rewrite services that were done poorly.

> Everyone is talking about the "blade breaking" as a dangerous thing. Can someone please explain?

To add onto what other people are saying:

When a blade breaks, not only is there a potentially sharp point on the new end of the blade, but the blade that's left attached to the handle is probably more stiff - possibly quite a bit more stiff - than the original sword. This is for a couple of reasons:

1. Leverage: short things are stiff, long things are floppy.

2. Profile: I honestly have no idea if this applies to olympic swords, but in historical swords used for combat, blades will often be quite wide at the base and taper towards the point.
