Well what happened was that sanctions created a sharp, fast, contraction -- maybe 5% or so. Russia measures GDP year over year, so there are still declines. But the standard way of measuring GDP is continuously -- e.g. quarter over quarter, annualized. So according to more realtime data, the contraction lasted a couple of months and they are now in expansion, but it will probably be around 2Q 2023 before the year over year data turns positive.

A reference is here, using Goldman-Sachs faster frequency data.

I find the slow cooker is most useful for making lots of food ahead of time. Two slow cookers, a good freezer, and a stack of cheap containers are excellent tools for keeping people well fed when time is short.
Most people who rapidly lose weight will gain it back. The keyword here is most. There are exceptions to pretty much everything. There's no reason to doubt this person is one. That doesn't make their strategy good advice.
The issue is that the people most often breaking the metaphorical windows are the police themselves.
A500 and A1200 are the go-tos.

The former is cheap and can run most games outright, as most games targeted the original chipset and the A500 specifically. Also true for software, particularly with a memory expansion, and loading a newer kickstart rom into ram (through mkick)

The latter is less cheap, but has the AGA chipset. With the help of whdload, almost every game works and can be loaded from the hard disk.
Show HN: Google Sheets GOOGLEFINANCE() reliability enhancement
Anyone who uses GOOGLEFINANCE() for stock/ETF prices and then logs your total portfolio assets daily (by trigger), knows that it is not 100% reliable.

What I wanted was something that would use the last good data point if GOOGLEFINANCE was failing. So I added caching to solve this problem.

There is also another issue that GOOGLEFINANCE is particularly bad with Canadian stock symbols. It also does not find stock/etf dividend yields. For this I query a few finance websites to pull in the missing info.

Now the problem looking up a couple hundred symbols using =CACHEFINANCE() (my custom function) was the dreaded 'Loading' error, which would also cause asset tracking to fail - so...

I also added the capability to run as a trigger function, so it has now been 100% success for my logging.

The app script will create a trigger for each job required (i.e. pricing is one, yieldpct is another, etc.). It will also automatically exit and re-start the trigger if it can't get through all requests before the 6 minute mark (a Google restriction). This is especially needed with the 'Yieldpct' because all data is found using URL fetch - which is much slower than a working GOOGLEFINANCE.

I have made this an open source project if you want to use the Google Apps Script. Please let me know of any suggestions to help improve going forward. This version works for me, but of course the first person using other than me will probably find something wrong. I'm sure my README.md could use some further enhancements.
I'm thankful for God and all of you who contribute here.

> For example, Oregon had huge protests and weak government responses, and yet prosecutes large amounts of shoplifting.

https://www.kgw.com/article/news/investigations/multnomah-co...

There were not protests state wide, they were in a single county, the one in which shoplifting isn't prosecuted as much. A couple miles away, with different DAs, you will get arrested and prosecuted for even very minor theft.

This is the person responsible for a 93% prosecution rate, being re-elected on the basis of "law and order" and relatively conservative viewpoints, backlash against the BLM protest responses that you talk about.

that comparison isn't right because in reality it's about moving people from a single app into an open ecosystem.

Firstclass allowed admins to create custom clients with resources (icons, backgrounds). I ran a board with something like four users when I was a teen. I dreamed of turning it into a thriving multi-line operation. Then AOL gave way to real home internet and there was no need.

The Hotline board that I ran once I had a cable modem was just straight warez and mp3s. I miss that era, where there was a sense of community in small subsets of the internet. They’re prolly still there in some form and I’ve just outgrown them or aged out.

I've been using Debian Testing on my personal Notebooks since ~10yrs: throughout university, and the subsequent work life.

During that time, I oftened wondered whether I should "play"/experiment more with other distros; after all I loved tinkering with my vim config and network setups etc.

However, I've been just satisfied with the status quo, and more importantly: I just wanted to get shit done.

Apt, dpkg, systemd. If I want to get bleeding-edge SW I'll build the upstream source manually. No big deal - won't happen too often.

Getting older, I'm beginning to despise fixing the os more and more ... I just want the machine to work. This results perhaps from my day job, which involves openbsd-developing/tweaking ... And general a lot of cursing.

Granted: I'm not a gamer or graphics-enthusiast, and use my computer primarily for development, writing, watching movies/pictures ... Your typical senior resident trapped in the body of a 30ish guy.

I'm often wondering whether I'm just lazy and/or whether my attitude is the norm or rather the exception respective to Unix/Linux (power)users.

> We're talking about garbage collection though, this will always be inefficient, doesn't matter much on which side of the fence it is implemented.

No, that's just not true.

You can't implement GC in WASM currently in any sane way.

As already said more than once here: WASM is lacking needed features. (For example memory fence instructions).

Any GC build in WASM will be extremely slow and inefficient. It will be also a stop-the-world GC. Because you can't build anything else.

GC implemented in WASM is at the moment completely impracticable.

Sure, you "can" do it still. But that's like building a banking application in Brainfuck. You can do that. In theory. Maybe even someone did it "for real". All this does not matter. It's brainfuck.

And that's not only the GC.

VM runtimes, and JITs need some more features to be implemented efficiently.

WASM is also lacking those features (like computed go-to).

Bottom line is: It's impossible to implement a VM in the WASM VM even remotely acceptable.

This is also backed by data:

I've showed already the catastrophic performance of Blazor. (And this is something where millions of dollars went for years to make it even "work".)

It's sad that North America will continue to fail to standardize on a common EV plug. Europe standardized on CCS type 2 combo and having a standard plug is one of the reasons why the European EV market is powering ahead. It certainly makes EV ownership much easier.
> There are people at Twitter now that think the entire thing can be built and operated by just "20 amazing engineers"

Thing is - you can absolutely build and operate a site that allows people to post things and have other people follow them with just "20 amazing engineers".

What you can't do with just "20 amazing engineers" is operate a safe, harassment-limiting, CSAM-free, ad-friendly, legality-following, privacy-preserving, FTC consent decree'd site.

You need to use a pot-in-pot method for rice, not raw rice in the pot [0]. This ensures even cooking of the rice because the water around it gets hot first and then distributes that heat to all layers of the rice, not just near the bottom.

This is what I do and I get perfect rice every time.

I think the idea behind preferring `apropos` instead of `man -k` is that you can get to `apropos` with `apr<TAB>`, while the other invocation is longer (and for sloppy typists, the dash may prove problematic).
I think it’s still possible to actually get housing in the UK, it’s just more expensive than you’d like. (There’s lots on the market near me.) Look at somewhere like Ireland where it’s getting to the point where there almost literally just isn’t any housing available at all. Lines of hundreds of people applying to get any property that comes onto the market.
Russia? Last time I checked it was the European Union who sanctioned Russian energy and declared to want to stop buying Russian gas and oil.

A terrorist reactor would be a reactor used for terrorist purposes. Imagine something like the infamous demon core, but set off in a populated area.

Prompt criticality is when a nuclear reactor is critical on prompt neutrons alone. This is to be avoided (in most cases) at all costs, as the doubling time of neutrons becomes very fast, a small fraction of a second. In a normally operating reactor, the core is subcritical on prompt neutrons, but critical on prompt + delayed neutrons. Delayed neutrons are emitted after the beta decay of certain fission products, and this slows the doubling of the neutron population enough that feedback control can keep the reactor's power steady.

Prompt criticality is what happened at Chernobyl.
That was the updated messaging from DNC HQ because the first one was clearly wrong.
Here are some tips (for not just dev tools) :

- Give a score (of interest) to your link/tool.

- Work on a good consistent hierarchy + tag-system for your DB

- Ask yourself first : Is this a popular link that I can later find easily by just googling the keyword ? if the answer is yes, don't save it. (I also sometimes append the keyword itself to my notes)

This way I mostly stopped worrying about the size of my bookmarks DB. I just add stuff. I know that I can later open the right place and sort that list by importance.

It is not perfect, and it always needs some maintenance (which I approach as a fun exploration)
Thank you. Saved this comment.

Assuming you mean allowing them to use violence against shoplifters, I’m curious how far you think we should take this. Should we allow employees to use violent force to recover stolen wages from their employers? After all, orders of magnitude more is stolen via wage theft than shoplifting.
What if someone posts a very likely or unlikely bet (e.g. "the next Mega Millions numbers will be ..."? Can everyone bet $30,000 against and then everyone gets $30,000?

You may want a system where, the more skewed a bet is, the less money gets paid out by the majority side and more money gets paid to the minority. That way, bets like those don't really get you anything, unless you bet the unlikely case and win, then you get a well-deserved jackpot.
I don’t think you can have both. The mods cannot flag/bury things for no reason, and then have 4chan when you turn on [dead] visibility.

Ask HN: What are some signs that an early startup is gonna fail?
Hello all,

Obviously it’s hard to pick winners when the start-up is just starting, but I assume it’s more easy to see who will not make it.

I was recently asked to join an app with two others that applied to YC recently (they didn’t get an interview, but we’re apparently top 10%).

What are some signs to look out for? I want to try a start-up, but sinking time into it especially when VC money is drying up seems rough. I wanna see if I can avoid red flags that make it an obvious waste of time.
It uses reflectors instead of control rods.
An okay I didn’t get that.

I take modafanil for focus. It works but my tolerance has been shooting ip lately. Do you think it’s worth trying Armodafanil?

Volcano vs. Slap
It’s tough because at scale you can always find some poor schmuck that’s a perfectly decent sort and has run into pricks over and over. “Maybe it’s me?” the poor fucker opines. And well-meaning folks like you or me will suggest the “asshole rule” — if everyone’s an asshole, you’re the asshole — and we’ll be right in general but not in this one unfortunate case.

But you just can’t tell which is which from where we’re sitting.

So, OP… probably you’re the asshole, but maybe not.

Inverting a binary tree is easy; express the tree as a matrix (laplacian), invert the matrix, then convert that back to a tree. What the canonical question is asking is not inversion.

Since too many people were memorizing inversion, I switched to asking how to evert a binary tree. This leads naturally into a discussion of the 1:1 relationship between complex numbers and cohomology sets, I figure if somebody can get that right, they can be a junior programmer on the team.

Stackstorm has been around since 2014 [1].

Rundeck is another closest competitors that worth mentioning. Things have evolved a lot in the ops space since then.

With advent of container orchestration of the operational automation pieces have also moved to the orchestration layer. There have been quite some new tools in the space I have been tracking for instance Fylament [2] which got acquired by netapp, blinkops etc. Post rendezvous with this domain, some bigger problems most of the major framework tools like this have is that, it is very hard to get started. There are lot of pre-requisites given the nature of the ops automation, this leads to a problem where it is very hard to active a customer. Secondly, these frameworks are always competing with it is bash/python script deployed with some container orchestration or some cronjobs. I have also seen people write CRDs and reconciliation loops in k8s doing lot of the tasks these automation frameworks would do.
