> So it’s not ok to use « whitelist » or « blacklist » in your source code in xcode when coding in swift

Can you explain what you mean by this? This seems to suggest there's some kind of compiler error or warning in Xcode when using those terms, but I just tried it and there's no such thing. No one is preventing you from using those terms, as far as I can see — some people have chosen to stop using them, but they're not forcing their decision on you.
You want to try temporal programming? Try clojure: immutable values, immutable & persistent data structures, software transactional memory.

You need a data base with full history (transaction time), try datomic. Additionally if you need full history AND domain time (bi-temporal) included in your data base, try or xtdb.

Adding to other answers, not only containers of the docker and LXC/D types are Linux things that need a Linux kernel but often the software inside the container must be deployed and run on a Linux host. Often the build is done on a Linux server in a CI system and not on developers machines but developers do have to run that software too, kind of by definition.
Yep. The default options are usually the wrong ones.

California appears to have an annual safety inspection, which many US states do not. According to the NHTSA, 6.8% of crashes involved a vehicle with a significant safety fault, which was not necessarily a causal factor in the crash. 4.9% of crash vehicles had a tire or wheel defect.

This suggests to me that there probably isn't a desperate need for stricter vehicle inspections in the US.

Ask HN: Fastest Language for a CRUD App
I need to spin up a CRUD web app that will hit some external APIs. Nothing complicated, but I want to try something new with fast ramp up. My previous work is PHP Symfony and Python Flask. For whatever reason I am turned off by the idea of using these again so looking for a fresh suggestion. Is Rails still a viable choice? At one point it was “the” framework for CRUD apps.

It's absolutely how it works. The fact that you live in an authoritarian country that requires a threshold of $600 to report payments is unnatural. It's like saying that the CCP has its own opinion on whether you should be able to go out of your house at any given time, or if you should be locked in for X more weeks due to "covid" or any other bullshit excuse. Or, that Canada govt has its own opinion on whether your bank account should be freezed based on what protests you attend to, and so on.

Here's the thing: abstractions (or "man-made horrors horrors beyond your comprehension") are feeble. With a big enough catastrophe, natural or not, the IRS along with any US intitution will cease to exist.

Sounds a lot like Lucid?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucid_(programming_language)

They don't use x', but rather fby x, but otherwise the ideas seem very similar.

Of course, they called it dataflow, and Lucid inspired the "synchronous dataflow" languages like Esterel (imperative) and Lustre (functional). Which in turn inspired the non Conal Elliott variants of "FRP".

It's all related...

I just went back and reread the section to see if I'd missed something, and... kind of, I guess? They acknowledge that it is hard to join, but they don't seem to fully get why - that the problem is their system of scheduling meetings instead of discussing things asynchronously, not the ISO in itself. Without that realization, I would be surprised if a post-ISO C++ committee didn't just keep doing the same thing as before, because face to face meetings are the only way to be productive, right?

The "look at this pretty place I got to go to" picture immediately after that section does nothing to help this impression.
Having to clone a String every time you send it around is “confusing” if you come from a C char* pointer background.

You can dereference it to &str but I’m pretty sure that introduces weird “lifetime” &’a or whatever errors in most places (when you are first learning to write Rust that is)

same for structs, I typically just derive Clone. Kind of gross but for hobbyist projects where I want to “move fast” (coming from node.js so it’s hard to not treat Rust like a “scripting” language), it suffices.
So the answers are about what you'd expect -- it's weak, cold brew is better but still weak, and who even knows if there's any caffeine in there.

But I still can't help but wonder out of sheer curiosity, to take this to the limit -- what about making cold brew but with 3x or even 5x or 10x the normal ratio of grounds to water?

Surely there's a way to get "reused" coffee to a comparable concentration to "first use". And then... would it be even remotely drinkable, or too much bitterness-to-flavor? Sufficiently caffeinated, or would comparable caffeine make it unbearably bitter?

I'm so curious now -- I feel like this blog post got 80% of the way, but is missing the final experiment!

You've ignored all of my salient points. Of course Mastodon offers significant advantages for all of the reasons I just described. Of course a protocol has inherent value. Its value is inhered by giving users the option to walk away whenever they want or implement their own server.

You've completely ignored the arrest of user behavior and audience that happens when a single proprietary application is allowed to own the social sphere of the public.

The whims of a dictator become a lot less impactful when users can just walk away. The consequences are massively different when the entire captive audience is on one platform and feels they must remain because there is no other option with critical mass. With federation, critical mass is spread out over the protocol, yes a value inhered in the protocol itself.
Have you a source for that criticism? Any ‘these days’ criticism seems to favour a past that never existed.

Sorry but virtue signaling and companies stopping an advertising campaign is not "classical fascism." Fascism is an authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation and race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.
From the video it feels like they are selling this poster, and it is pretty cool so fair enough. It reminds me of when I tried to sell a physics poster to celebrate the first anniversary of the gravitational waves discovery. Here was my fundraiser + emotional/inspirational poster video: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-gravitational-waves-a... to see the video). I personally ended up down a few hundred pounds, but it was a fun experience and we raised a bit of money for charity. (Many posters still left in my cupboard, so please get in touch if you're interested - email in profile.)

I used SPC charts at work for analyzing ton (1000+) of different computer generated jobs that had to run daily.

Fun house mirrors are curved and distort your reflection.

Some fun house mirrors are flexible so they can get pushed or pulled which will make you look taller or shorter or fatter or skinnier than you know you are.

By observing the difference between how you appear compared with how you are;
you can learn something about how the flexible mirror is being curved.

How this works in the fun house is there is you the mirror and LIGHT.

Both you and the light are well known and easy to predict; light will travel straight(ish) and you will not suddenly become very very short, so the thing that is changing your appearance is the flexible mirror.

In the GPS rocket case,
the GPS satellites are the illuminating source corresponding to the light in the room sending out radio (electromagnetic radiation same as light just at longer wavelengths)

The ground station GPS receivers correspond to your eyes (they know what they *should* see).

The earth's ionosphere corresponds to the flexible fun house mirror.

taken together, the same way you could tell if something we can't see behind the mirror flexed it, the author of the post showed they can tell if, when and where
an unannounced rocket goes through the ionosphere.
It also has to do with the ad networks. For example with Google adsense, they really encourage you to use responsive ads:

"You can use responsive ads to provide a great user experience on your pages. They look good on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices. "

But when you use a responsive ad, google can dynamically decide the height of the ad. They don't want you use use a fixed height container:

"The parent container has fixed or limited height. Responsive ads should not be placed inside containers with a fixed or limited height, as they may be taller on some devices or browsers. If you need to limit the height of your responsive ads, you’ll need to modify your code and use CSS media queries to set the height of the parent container."

Well, what about something like 'The Libs of Tiktok', a Twitter account that routinely posts the home addresses of trans people? They get away with this by posting the address on its own, but against a trans-symbol background.

Technically, they haven't threatened anyone, but the threat of stochastic violence is legimately chilling to that 'vigorous open free speech debate' that we supposedly all want, and that is so untroubling to so many freeze-peachers speaks volumes.

Kind of generalizing an entire workforce I think. How are you measuring lazy? You say that people are nice and relaxed with a shorter work week. But it seems you expect that a team that isn't as relaxed will be more effective?

Who are you to decide if people use their days off "productively?" And most orgs that have a day in the office scheduled for personal development/training, inevitably end up pushing other responsibilities into those hours, eventually making them useless. If someone is in the office, it's just too easy for them to be pestered for "real work."

The idea isn't that to get more work out of people, it's to provide them with a healthy WLB; so they don't get burned out, so they're more productive when they're "nice and relaxed" from their time off.

My first job was working at a company that made Palm pilot apps.

Things like it was too difficult to sort a product file that has 200,000 items in it in real-time (E.g. to change from product codes to product description) so we had the server generate two lists each sorted and sent two over the gprs network to the devices.

We are about to do something "crazy":
leave our 6 figures jobs to start our own shop.

We are 2 engineers with 10/11 years of experience each and we love the idea of running our own consulting company focused on Kubernetes.
We both have worked for big tech companies, startups and currently working for a hedge fund. We managed/automated large scale systems (our current datacenter have over 40k instances - around 2.5MLN CPUs 160kTB of memory across all machines), we both are skilled system and software engineers!

We are engineers/architects, we have never done sales/marketing/social media.

What do you think it's the best way to find customers?

Any suggestion for someone who is starting now?

I’ve been thinking that FTL might just be truly impossible which is why we don’t see ETs showing up. I know that there are theoretical designs for FTL systems, but so far the details of implementation remain elusive and the energy requirements are enormous… so, could be impossible.

Beyond that, I think humans may eventually colonize the moon, Mars, and the clouds of Venus, but I highly doubt we will make it out of the Solar System before our species dies out.

Edit: I hope to be wrong.

We'd still call a genuine off road vehicle a four by four.

Americans have gone a bit nuts with the SUV label - we don't call things like a Model Y an SUV, it's just a hatchback. Some other models Americans call SUVs are Estates or People Carriers. We probably wouldn't call things like a Porsche Cayenne a 4x4 because it's never going off road. That will happily be called an SUV with all the selfish egotism implied. Other names for it would be more deliberately insulting e.g. Chelsea Tractor etc.

Buyers are anyone buying goods and services, from people who vote for politicians that promise lower taxes due to negotiating more labor hours per dollar, or someone going to Walmart and buying a $10 shirt from Bangladesh over a $20 US made shirt (made up numbers).

People who buy from McDonalds over the local burger place that is more that twice as expensive.

>How does any business not get outcompeted by a race to the bottom where people are always willing to perform/obtain the labor more cheaply?

They do get outcompeted, hence manufacturing and textile businesses moving to other parts of the world from US/UK/Europe. And people opting to shop at large businesses with economies of scale like Walmart and Aldi over mom and pop places.

>Why do the costs of goods get more expensive every year?

The cost of some goods gets more expensive. A lot of consumer goods went down in price for people in US/UK/Europe for many of the post WW2 decades. It is only recently that labor costs might have started pushing prices up in real terms.

It's so irritating if you're doing the same operation many times, ie sending the same picture to multiple people separately.

Also the share menu has a different layout according to what app you're using. I understand that it's up to the app developer to get fancy with it, but it would be really nice if you could have a setting for "use standard share menus", or something like that. Or even better if there was some way you could make it be the same every time, like choose your favorite apps to share to.

> where would the money for those additional fractional salaries come from?

From corporate profits. It's not like they are struggling.
No commitment. People enter because they are already freelancers looking for more of a business structure or they enter to join some specific project. People manage themselfs either alone or in small groups like for example the architecture studio, or the biocosmetics lab.

People directly earn the money they generate so they choose how much they want to work.
