I've hear, when IBM build dc's in Europe, they use heat from dc to heat public pools.

Plus, currently ~1 admin for each 100 computers, will spend part of his compensation in near restaurants.
Plus, onsite autos, most probably, will use nearest service.

That's near all impact. I have worked very close to dc's (my company have own server at dc), so few periods, I spent lot of time in dc and seen all typical operations.

Maybe tracing the CPU instructions using LLDB might be possible, but the bug is most likely in the kernel code so this would not help much.

Exactly! Bil Herd said it was just supposed to get them through a year until the Amiga picked up. Nobody expected the 8-bit line to last so long with a multitasking multimedia powerhouse out there for under $1000.
Congratulations on buying your house in 2015, it would be difficult to buy such a property at that price today without some large concessions on location or quality of the home.

However, I do agree with the sentiment of your post. It's a lot easier to live below your means as a way to grow income rather than to stretch yourself to try to make extra money externally. 40 hours at a well played, balanced job with low living expenses is truly a great path.
You’re right. They weren’t going to be accepted, because they didn’t work the way that Bram thought they should and the people who pushed them would not change them to fit Bram’s goals. As package maintainer myself, if I get a PR/patchset the implements something in a way with which I disagree, I will not accept the changes. If I don’t care enough about the changes, then I probably won’t implement them either. Or I might do so later when I have time.

On the history of things, please be more precise. Bram did not fork vi. He worked from the Stevie code, which only ran on the Atari ST, so that he could use it on Amiga. It quickly expanded to other systems (I believe I encountered it after trying other DOS-based vi-like editors). That expansion eventually made it into the relative juggernaut it is today.
Now apply that to colonization.

From what I've seen, this was the "abuse" that really kicked it off (as in, their response to it was what was spread widely as "lol wtf are they doing"): "Folks I'm not exactly a police supporter but this is a terrible way to intro Tony.

It's possible there is a lot of low hanging fruit here, as tire particulate emission is not regulated.
If they didn’t like the working condition, they could have striked or left, that’s not the point. What they did in fact do was to use violence to block people who did like these working condition and specifically came there to work there in their place, when they striked. Oh, and they tried to kill Frick too, don’t forget that.

I am not so much arguing in support of Frick but rather against a completely dishonest narrative where he is villainized for “shooting workers”, while completely omitting the details as to what events led to that situation.
I’m curious, why did every payment processor drop you? Did they see “mushroom” and assume you were selling psilocybin mushrooms or something?

I do wonder if it would be useful to use my Auth0 personal account for this type of thing on sites that support it instead of using email login. I think a dedicated identity provider might be less risky in terms of random account freezing. Google, Microsoft and Github probably have a zillion ways (valid and invalid, accidental or not) you can violate TOS because they all own platforms for publishing content. A dedicated identity provider might be safer in that regard.
> processed sugars aren’t vegan because the whitening stage uses bone meal

This is a good rule of thumb for North America, but not true all the time.

In the USA, organic sugar cannot be processed with bone char. Also, beet sugar is never processed with bone char, only cane sugar.

Also, not all non-organic cane sugar is processed with bone char. For example, in Canada, neither of the two main sugar companies (Rogers/Lantic and RedPath) use bone char for processing their sugar anymore (RedPath never did, and Rogers/Lantic stopped within the last few years).

Finally, all sugar in Australia and the EU (and probably other places) is processed without bone char.

100% this. In the past, you would have to commit to a minimum of $1k/mo for local radio/tv/newspaper ads, and had no tracking and lagging indicators if the spend was effective. Classifieds in newspaper were cheaper, but still more expensive than FB. With $100/day on facebook charged to your CC, from my experience, you could almost overnight turn on 2-3 quality leads per day. This was life changing for a significant number of people.

This isn't possible anymore as you need to burn thousands to get enough learning to get scale with Facebook, especially if you're in the US with an audience that uses iPhones.

Google Search ads still work, because they own the whole stack and they aren't impacted by attribution, but the prices have been going up significantly as people move spend towards channels with better attribution.

All of this legislation and privacy advocacy is just a gift to Amazon/Google/Apple - everything is first party data for these "portal" businesses. Their ads will still work, and they'll have no real competition in direct-response marketing.
> This is currently happening to someone I know who's had all of their November sales frozen

Why on earth is this person not sweeping nightly into their business bank account? Never leave money in your processor account... they are not your bank!

This is the same stuff people complain about with PayPal - failing to realize this scenario (to this extent where it's threatening your business) is almost entirely the business operator's fault due to a severe lack of understanding of how to use a processor.

My guess is this person's processor account went from small benign numbers and then suddenly had a surge of business (possibly seasonal). This sudden increase in volume can (and will) trigger anti-fraud audits from your processor if you do not already have a well established history with them. You go through it, and move on. Generally it's not an issue if you sweep nightly!

Spread the word - your payment processor is not your bank. Sweep nightly, it's almost always a free service they offer.

Nobody uses an abacus anymore. I use a calculator (well, Mathematica or scipy) to effortlessly solve problems that would be impossible to solve by hand. I appreciate, but don’t particularly understand or care about, the many decades of numerical analysis research that went into making scipy algorithms robust and efficient.

ChatGPT is the most exciting thing to come out of CS in a long while. Forget all of the debate and angst about whether ChatGPT is “really” an AI and what its “real” capabilities are (and I squarely blame the AI community’s recent history of brazen overhype and self-promotion for this)—-it’s a red herring. Call it the most powerful Internet search engine ever invented, if you want. That alone will change the world.

It will trivialize a lot of tasks that are currently laborious and burdensome. The hand-wringing I’m seeing about this reminds me a lot of the rise of the Internet in the 90s, or Wikipedia in the 00s… yes, we will need to rethink how we write software and we will need to rethink how we teach students. But getting hung up on the dangers of ChatGPT as a “competitive” too is to cling a bit too tightly to old paradigms about of how humans leverage technology that have never been rigid, even in our lifetime.
Are we disagreeing?
I'm still annoyed that lists have delimiters at all. i.e. why not:

[ 1 2 3 ]

In particular syntaxes that require a delimiter and forbid a trailing delimiter require much more verbosity in code-generators.

This is maybe the only place where bash differs from other syntaxes but (IMO) clearly got it right.

I'm also reminded that Clojure uses a compromise where there are no delimiters, but a comma is treated as whitespace.

[edit]

Also this comes up from time to time in the Nix language; I was complaining with someone and we both were annoyed by the inconsistency; lists use no delimiter while sets (i.e. dicts) use a semicolon. I thought that sets should have no delimiters, he thought that lists should, but we both agreed that the inconsistency was jarring.+

You perspective is interesting. Do you have an opinion about to help management know how to manage? I'm personally in a constant struggle to improve my management skills but struggle to weed through the sudo-science of management training resources.
Plenty of software that doesn't actually solve the goal and ends up being unmaintainable also comes out of locking a bunch of smart people in a room.

You make it too complicated, no one can modify it without tons of domain knowledge, you make it too abstract and flexible and the abstraction leaks and the flexibility means a ton of extra time spent.

You can really only lock devs in a room if you have very very clear product expectations and a longer term vision that allows people to add flexibility where it's needed for future projects. This simply won't happen with most companies because that's HARD.
I expect this is less a case of them "developing" the specific poisons as much as looking at the pharmacopeia, and choosing something that was readily available, well understood, and efficacious/unrecoverable.

My fiancee sells self-made art somewhat successfully for the last 9 months. I contribute by managing communication with buyers through FB Marketplace, Craigslist, and while we tried Etsy, it didn't do that well. We specifically target the mid-range market which means we price below top artists on Etsy/Instagram, but above cheap prints and generic Ikea style art.

It definitely requires a lot of physical work on her part and our spare bedroom is basically a pile of canvas, paint, plaster, and other supplies, but it has generated over $10,000 in revenue. We could optimize more and she could make prints of some of her better paintings, but she does it for fun and most of the money she uses for shopping (and I spend my share on triathlon gear!)

No, you continue to work for a living, just on something else that's 100x more valuable than before (and you consequently become 100x more wealthy than before).

It's already happened once. 99% of farming jobs that existed a few thousand years ago now long gone. Are we all unemployed and starving because of that? No, in fact we're all far more wealthy than we would have been before all that technological progress was made. We just don't think of it as wealth, and instead complain that the guy next door has more than us and the government ought to do something about that, because he clearly wouldn't be that rich if not for all this darned technological progress taking our jobs.

> Helmets protected me in bike racing where they're already mandatory.

> They do not protect most riders at all.

This is a textbook example of non sequitur.

I would also add that it's so obvious that it hurts, because, simply, most bikers have never raced and never will, so to them what is cruise speed for a professional biker is where the risks are.

I too have been a professional car driver in (very) minor leagues, that doesn't mean that what protected me while racing cannot protect my dad that never like driving and has always been very bad at it.
Ask HN: What is your favorite technology to build sideprojects or sidehustles?
I'm currently contemplating starting a sideproject, but with limited experience as a dev who actually deploys something, I'm really interested in some insights from others.

I would be really interested in what technologies you (would) favor if you're building a sideproject, sidehustle or in any situation as a solo dev? In which context are you usually building apps and can you explain your choice (for example long experience, particular love for a specific framework, etc)

I appreciate your insights!
Have you tried reading text on a 1500px-wide page?

"Commodore threw together what they could to keep the C64 band together for one more tour, but... let's be honest, their last album sucked."

I've sometimes seen people say "Oh, modern computing sucks so much, if only the Commodore line had continued on and been the basis for computing instead of the IBM line"... and I have no idea what they mean. Even the Amiga may have been neat for the time, but trying to project that line forward all the way into 2022... well, whatever would have gotten here probably wouldn't be all that different than what we have now.

Commodore did some interesting things. They lost for reasons, though. Even the Amiga.
Inevitably in any group someone will emerge as the central organizer. I think the idea is that it should allow to happen naturally.

Replication to another machine that has a COW file system with snapshots is backup though :-)

We backup our data storage for an entire HPC cluster, about 2 PiB of it to a single machine with a 4 disk shelves running ZFS with snapshots. It works very well. Simple raunchy every night, and snapshotted.

We use the backup as a sort of Time Machine should we need data from the past that we deleted in the primary. Plus, we don’t need to wait for the tapes to load or anything.. it is pretty fast and intuitive
Imagine someone who has bipolar, rheumatoid arthritis, being a single parent or any other complication that means you can't commit to a 40 hour schedule.

How many places can you work with a completely flexible schedule, a handful, most of which is gig-work.

Now because of making all these employees w-2 they require their employees to put in 40 hours a week, and work on a specified schedule. These people now have to find other work or be unemployed.

Fundamentally you're benefiting full time drivers at expense of part-time drivers. I think this is a bad trade-off because people who can work 40 hours on a schedule have lots of other employment options where as part-time drivers who can't commit to a schedule in advance has far fewer options.
Or perhaps an indication that the C128 was ahead of its time! ;)

I don’t know. Cable news, network tv and religions have done damage to teens and younger in the past and it probably still continues. Sports coaches aren’t always pure, nor are families. Seems there’s lots of bad actors and influences. Unmonitored activity seems to be the concern, suggesting strong parental actions?
Taleb has a couple of important points to make.
It's not that deliberate practice isn't a big factor and very important. It's the idea that it's massively and overwhelmingly decisive.

For example, this meta-analysis of sports performance found that deliberate practice was important but not overwhelmingly so, accounting of 18% of performance on average.

It seems like there is a lot of plasticity in human performance, and it may be the case that many of us can get pretty good at a lot of things, but there also appear to be many factors distinct from practice that make substantial contributions to performance.

Just trying out a few searches on Google, I'm seeing a pretty decent amount of results from the site. Though the content on the site could be embellished a lot more to get more value out of the pages since the primary focus is clearly just the pricing graphs right now.

I noticed that many of the vehicle images didn't load for me. It looks like they're hosted on whatever site they're pulled from. It would be a good idea to save thumbnails of the images that you find so you can serve them locally and include them for every listing

Since you're scraping car data too, it might be a good idea to get some basic descriptions for each type of vehicle. You might be able to opt into the Kelley Blue Book Developers program or similar:

http://developer.kbb.com/

It would also be good to provide at least some snippets of the descriptions of the vehicles that you're listing. More textual content would give Google something extra to dig into and would keep users from leaving the site and just browsing ebay or Craigslist themselves as often

It would be a bigger effort, but having basically a page for each listing locally would be interesting. You could show the original text and posts from the original source. Make the source clear, along with the last time you retrieved the information from it. Then if the original listing gets removed, you could keep it around. Show that it was unlisted or sold, but have a banner at the top that says something like "This listing is no longer available. Click here to look for available [make] [model]s". It could help people to find why one vehicle was cheaper than another (condition, location, etc)

It is indeed reasonable, as in, winners write the history, but the question is if it can remain desireable for the long term?

I mean, there were winning wars of conquest and expansion in the past, and those resulted in different "reasonable" outcomes.
If everything is a response to incentives then by this logic you could also say a software engineer is coerced into their career because of pressure put on by the cost of their lifestyle. People doing shitty work might not have incentive to do anything else.
