Unfortunately all the books I could recommend are canadian focused, but the gist is investing in etfs with low mer and high diversification.

I use asset allocation etfs, little bit higher mer but extremely straightforward.

Don't try to beat the market, follow the market.

Over 20 years this seems to be a decent strategy, granted that nobody can predict anything, so "safe" doesn't really exist with "investment"
This from the article

> However, sellers that are not individuals (businesses) must provide a valid personal government ID on behalf of the seller (business) or provide a valid government-issued record or tax document that includes the business name and physical address.

This is easy to do.

I use 1Postal as my “virtual mailbox” now that my wife and I fly across the US six months out of the year and our “home” the other six months is a unit in a “Condotel” in Florida that we own that doesn’t accept mail.

It specifically shows up as a physical address for post office coding and lookup purposes and not a PO Box.

Setting up an LLC is also easy to do and relatively cheap using sites like nolo.com.

Mold doesn't solve any problems for small- or medium-sized projects... there's is little/no advantage.

That's what async CI/CD unit and integration testing are for.

Also, it depends on the platform. Go doesn't have this problem. Rust does, to a degree. Interpreted languages make a linker moot.

The primary use case for mold is giant projects with massive executables. It's not a general-purpose linker, it can't improve inefficient workflows lacking automation, and it can't improve the multitasking of developer time for people who insist on waiting around instead of doing something else useful.

> Windows had a big, discontinuous shift when they abandoned the DOS-centric Windows codebase in the move to XP.

You mean the move to the NT platform, which made the consumer windows desktop OS finally stable.

Compatibility features, while not perfect, were implemented to help try and get Win9x and DOS workloads to function normally. Some DOS apps ran fine on XP in compatibility mode, although I couldn't say what %.

It might be social media, but it isn't a social network.

HN has no friending or a way to link yourself to any other user, no actual customizable profiles (a tiny "about me" textbox aside), no images anywhere, no way to DM users, and most people don't use their real names either.

There are only two "social" parts of HN. First is that the links to the articles are posted (and voted on) by users. And the second part is just the fancy comment section around those posts. Most big news websites have a comment section on their articles too, and those might even be more full-featured than HN (e.g., I am pretty sure quite a few of those allow setting a profile picture).

To put it simply, I believe social network and social media are two different things. You can have them both together (e.g., twitter), or separately. I would consider the initial Snapchat app to be a social network, but they added a dash of social media later on (with the "around me" feature, stories, etc). And HN would fall under the opposite of the original Snapchat app - social media, but without much social netowork.

Sidenote: I am not an expert on this and didn't spend time researching it. What I wrote above is a purely subjective take on how I personally understand those terms, and how they apply to the topic at hand.

1. array bounds checking

2. pointers to the stack cannot escape the lifetime of the stack frame

3. cannot conflate pointers with non-pointers

4. cannot have uninitialized pointers

5. cannot do arithmetic on pointers (must use array slices, which come with array bounds checking)

6. cannot pass the same mutating pointer to a function more than once

There are many more of these. They may seem burdensome and restrictive, but actually are not. If you really want to do these things, there is a "system" annotation that can be used.

An Event Apart was started by the A List Apart people. ALA was/is a website that was very important for front-end development during the 2000s and early 2010s. Famously, the article that outlined the technique and name for"responsive web design" for the first time was published there in 2010: https://alistapart.com/article/responsive-web-design/

It wasn't UX focused, it was specifically front-end focused. And it was a hugely important part of the evolution of that domain.
Animats is correct, ask yourself the other question "Do I need to be an 'official' company to do business as one on Amazon?" The answer is no, very little data has traditionally been required to be presented as a business on Amazon and that practice has been copied to Walmart, Newegg, and elsewhere.

All Amazon needed was for you to ship product to their warehouses, and a place for them to send payments. In the US there is something called a "DBA" which are initials for "Doing Business As" and you can register it with the county and then use that name to create a bank account. There were a number of tutorials out there about how to create a "company" where you wired money to some factory in China that would then drop ship your "product" to Amazon, set up a DBA and a checking account, and then create a bunch of ads for AdWords/Twitter/Facebook etc to sell your gizmo for 5 - 10x what you paid for it. Amazon handled all the logistics, you collected cash, and when your stock ran low you wired some more cash to the factory to send more product. Instant side hustle that brought in revenue.

There are literally thousands of these companies out there.

Because Amazon wasn't required legally to validate you were officially a business, they don't. This tries to plug some of that loophole with the trick that when you buy your product they have to tell you to whom the money is going. With that, a private investigator, and $10K you can often get to the individual involved. Now whether you can recover any money from them? That isn't really answered.

It just ups the risk for the "fly by night" vendors.
There's long been a serious problem with looting at Maya sites. I wonder how that affects what they publish with these surveys.

Many projects don't have cutting edge build systems.

I'm also not committing temporary code just to make the CI produce a build that I'll need to download. I'll build locally.
If I use Google Shopping to search for something, all it does is redirect me to the actual retailer, there's no way to purchase from Google themselves. Retailers might pay for priority placement in the search listing, but that's the extent of Google's financial involvement in the transaction. It's not like I pay Google and they hide the details of the seller from me.
Young people may have trouble imagining it. But, while medical concerns for a healthy person shouldn't keep someone from traveling, they should have a plan for a multi-year trip because young people do get sick and suffer serious injuries.
Yes, for any basic PCB assembly it works as well as, if not better than my Hakko 888 (70W) and TS100 (60W). It also works as well as the $2000 soldering station I have access at work (admittedly that has a lot more features such as desoldering).

It's not cordless/battery power but rather uses usb-c power delivery directly. It's up to 60W on "normal" usb-c, but supports up to 88W with newer usb-c standards your charger probably doesn't support. I think even higher if you really want to push it. Even using it at 45W with a usb-c battery pack, it heats up in a few seconds. And since it has an OLED screen, you can understand what power it's getting with your battery pack and change settings like temperature and idle temperature easily.

It's also based on RISC-V and you can get a $4 breakout board to turn it into a dev kit.

Finally, it's $26. Don't forget to add a high-temp silicon cable ($3.50) and extra tips (4 for $25). I'm so excited just writing about this I think I am going to buy 5 or so as go-to gifts for nerdy people.
In 2007 I said that the future of all apps is html/js/css. I knew the front-end space was going to get complicated (it did) and that to really change the game (ie, force a standard in UX) it would have to be web based. I wrapped chromium in a Java applet for travel kiosks (now mobile is king), I wrapped chromium in C#, in Python, in Go, all to make web tech the standard.

I loved electron before it got bloated, I found NW.js before that and wished it was more popular and had more love. I contributed a swig wrapper to webview to support any language you wish (swig interface naming amalgamations aside).

Keep going!!! I want a world where I can write an app for any platform and it spits out some standardized UI that could be augmented with some CSS. I’m super interested in this.

How's support for older systems? Will apps run nicely on older 32bit systems or older windows versions? What does the platform testing look like?
We have been using prometheus at a client for little over a year now. Since we need to keep metrics for years, prometheus cannot seem to be able to deal with it well. One behavior we observed is it crashes consistently in k8s. We couldn’t pin down the root cause but suspect it’s the amount of metrics we collect continuously and keep (archive).

Now we are considering to switch to thanos or mimir.
Sure. But it would be nice not to need to describe the structure of your data twice if you need runtime validation. Since TS is such an ergonomic way of describing the structure of your types, runtime availablility is more attractive (to some) than relying on external libraries for that functionality.
Sorry, but hard no. Not everything in life is relative.

There are objectively better programming languages than others. Like there are objectively better vehicles than others…

The blind Rust fanboyism reached crazy levels by now; and Zig isn't a bad language. (It's actually even quite nice for what it is). But there are very valid rational reasons to prefer one over the other.

Zig is a new language that repeats 50 year old mistakes. That's a very valid reason to criticize it. No memory safety is a big NO in the year 2022! Over 70% of all software malfunctions—and what's even more important, almost 100% of all severe security issues—are a direct result of missing memory safety. Even this one prominent stubborn and arrogant C dude realized that memory safety is an absolute requirement for a new language. That's saying a lot!

Still I recommend Zig to C die-hards. Because it's a slight improvement, and those folks will stick to C anyway otherwise.

But anybody who isn't married to C, and is still mentally flexible enough, should look for a better language instead.

As there are not much C contenders, especially safe and modern ones, the most valid choice right now in that field is Rust. Love it or hate it. It's like that. (And this does not change even in the light of the fact that Rust is currently overpraised by a large margin, and for a lot of "rewrite it in Rust" projects just using a GC language would be a more sane approach. Also there a niches where C can't be replaced by anything for the time being. But that are quite small niches, and they will likely become even smaller over time).
> The only thing which stands out to me is the relatively low monetary threshold

Which is typical for laws like this. Make the essence of the law something most people would agree with ("disclose high-volume sellers"), then define some ridiculous numbers so what the law actually means is disclose the details of anyone who does any semi-serious business there and doesn't just sell the odd used sweater.
I would not recommend Peloton specifically- I don't think it really scratches the road riding itch. It's closer to spin class than a serious biking session. I would look at Zwift for what you used to do.

My $5/month droplet started at 0.5 GB and the free upgrade to 1 GB of ram wasn’t even that long ago. Perhaps the image on this link will jog your memory of the old $5/month droplet stats: https://tutorialforest.com/upgrade-digitalocean-droplet-plan...

Also, FWIW, I’ve load tested different VPSes between AWS, Linode and DO and found that for reasons I don’t understand, AWS ones perform considerably worse than the other two platforms VPSes with identically listed stats.
Sure, but it's very easy to check "lump sum vs DCA":

https://www.experian.com/blogs/ask-experian/dollar-cost-aver...

"Choose between dollar cost averaging and lump-sum investing by evaluating your risk tolerance, your investment horizon and your ability to stick with an investing plan. Lump-sum investing outperforms dollar cost averaging 75% of the time for stocks and 90% of the time for bonds, but dollar cost averaging may be a good choice for investors worried about taking on immediate risk."

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/08/12/which-investment-strategy-is...

" New research looked at rolling 10-year returns on $1 million starting in 1950, and compared results between an immediate lump-sum investment and dollar-cost averaging.
Assuming a 100% stock portfolio, the return on lump-sum investing outperformed 75% of the time.
For portfolios with 100% bonds, that rate of outperformance was 90%."
Eh. If the EU can make a law requiring every website to make me click through a popup regarding the types of strings my browser will put in the `Cookie` header, I think the US can make a law requiring every app to let me choose what types of notifications it sends me.
In general, I'm a fan of statically linked binaries or shipping the libraries with the application, so I mostly agree with you. But I also can't deny there's advantages to the shared-link approach as well. In short, there's upsides and downsides to both approaches and no perfect solution.

In practice however, I rarely encounter issues, except for closed-source programs that don't ship their libraries. That, I think, is mostly the fault of the vendor and not the Linux system. Of course, as a user it doesn't really matter whose fault it is if your application doesn't work because you just want the damn thing to work. It does mean the problem (and solution) is mostly an educational one, rather than a technical one. You certainly can ship binary programs that should work for decades to come: the two core components (Linux kernel and GNU libc) take backwards compatibility pretty serious, more or less on equal level with Windows.

You don't even need flatpack. A wrapper script with "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./binary" gets you a long way (and still provides people the ability to use a system library if they want, so sort-of the best of both worlds).
Not sure why this is being downvoted.

> The freedom isn't even universally supported on the left

In the U.S., the left broadly supports immigration as well as freedom of movement. But if you take a peep at European politics, and even parts of the left in Canada, you might find that support for immigration and freedom-of-movement really is more complicated.

It's one of those weird usages of terminology that the left in the U.S. is described as "liberal." In Europe and Canada, liberal means center-right. But at least in this case, calling the American left liberal is appropriate.
The only use case I found (though still quite possible) is if I have NO access at all to any of my devices, and I only have access to internet, and precisely - web only. I could go to 1Password website (for example, in an internet cafe or via someone’s tablet), get into my vaults with the master key and the password, and start recovering other passwords, details etc. Without SaaS, it would be barely possible.
I've spent time in a few of these wacky rural Canadian border places and for the places I went to, it didn't seem that likely one'd be caught in many spots, it's just the consequences if one does are potentially quite severe, and there's a pretty good degree of self policing of the honor system as word gets around a small town real fast. (Unless enough people wish to keep certain crossings secret... interesting idea.)

Although a somewhat common story I've heard is youths goofing around on ATVs or snowmobiles being intercepted and let off with a strict warning. Perhaps somewhat mythologically passed down generation to generation.
The details depend on the country of course but in the real world people traveling to a country for events and business meetings do all sorts of other routine business activities back home while they're in the country. Which could include writing of various sorts.
This article is correct in being cautious about "why" questions, but for the wrong reason. On science topics, people often ask "why" when they should ask "how". Things don't happen for reasons; they happen via mechanisms. Asking "why" tends to lead to answers that imply human-like intentionality where it doesn't exist.

Either is more likely than "hand feeding" since that takes a pretty tamed animal.

I've noticed the face-to-face thing too.

My mother had been feeding birds for a while. The local crows quickly realized that she's a soft-touch, so they sit on the garden fence outside her window. If she sees them, she throws something to them. It started with one female bird who eventually brought her young. She would take treats and feed them to her annoyingly loud offspring before eventually having something for herself. My mother got a kick out of this. The matriarch would eventually come to her window and tap on it. But if my mother looked at her directly she'd fly back to the fence. But she could open the window "nonchalantly" and throw treats without scaring her off as long as she didn't look straight at her. Other crows have noticed this. She now has a dozen or so hanging around. The original bird sits looking into her bedroom window in the morning waiting for her to get out of bed, and then flies around to the kitchen to tap on it. You see, there's competition now.
The main reasons I've heard for this is that we are weakening one of our main enemies for a measly $100 billion and counting, without having to put boots on the ground.

Another is that we should support democracies everywhere. This coming from the super power that has meddled with other countries and overthrown more democratically elected governments than any other.

These are really BS reasons. Why do you feel it is in the best interest of the US? Especially considering that Ukraine is way more important to Russia than it is to the West, they are willing to fight tooth and nail for it, and possibly risk nuclear war. Is it really worth it?
