> You raise some interesting points that I need to think more about. I've just been making placeholder transactions to pad out the budget while I don't know exactly what the months transactions will be. It makes it hard to know where you stand midway through the month. At the end of the month you can see exactly how much you spent, but you can't see how much you budgeted once you delete the placeholder.

That's why I was thinking about two separate budget views
- A general budget view where you can see your latest budget, i.e. the sums budgeted for each category of expenses/incomes
- A specific budget report where you can see where you stand in terms of budget. It shouldn't have to be at the end of the month but it could be viewed anytime.
Sorry buddy but open source software eventually catches up and you can’t stop it.

People just don’t realize that technology is what is behind the ability for people to wreak havoc on an unprecedented scale. One specific organism can’t do that much, even with a sword. But today, every person will have more and more power, and you can’t possibly stop them all!

the comment chain was to which you are responding was not about trying to pay taxes only to the country you're living in (which basically everyone in the world can do minus US citizens), it was about setting up a company in a tax haven (think Cayman Islands) to avoid paying taxes at all because they decided they are too high, which of course raises questions about the morality, legality, and practical details of such a process
People do, it's true. The question I have is would a "Danger! Slippy ice!" actually stop people from hurting themselves? Because I don't think it would, it would just make the sueing harder.
USB-A wall outlets are. CAT5 is close to it, but I'm sure the OP ran 6, 6e or 7 which will be useful for a long time.
Fun story. Back in day when bitflip domain research was released, I immediately offered it as a service to our customers. Register all available likely typos and bitflips. Computers flip dns lookip bits /surprisingly/ often. Run email, web, and other collectors. See what you get. We got so much legit data. The real good was owning those domains, but it was amazing to see how much compromising and sensitive data we collected for customers over the years. Widespread TLS helps, but it turns out they just want valid TLS… so for some of the hottest domains we would get certs for email, etc. fun stuff. You can still do this today, especially for newer companies.
For the downvotes, I'd like to hear why so I can improve my thinking please.

This is the part it seems like most people are not considering. The actual cooking of food, especially if something gets burnt, creates far more "hazardous" vapors than anything else, unless you have malfunctioning equipment. I put it in scare quotes because at the end of the day you have to live your life and if you mainly take care of yourself you'll have a healthy life, even if you burn some toast here and there. Get a great extraction system that can remove > 500 CFM and start it before you cook and run it for 10m after.

> We now accept that cooking with wood causes lung disease/cancer.

It's also completely enjoyable. I cook over open fire probably about 20 times a year and over charcoal many more times. I love cooking with wood and smoking food. The process of it is completely relaxing and enjoyable. It's a risk worth taking. It's also done in the most vented possible area - outdoors.

1. That wasn't a bug for "over a decade," as far as I'm aware. It was only introduced with an OS update

2. I could be wrong here, but it required you to already have created a root user with a blank password, which isn't possible unless you know how to trigger another bug that does it.
Some interesting features of this snake game:

1. You can change directions multiple times within a tick, making the last direction to be effective.

2. You can change to any directions, including the opposite direction of your current movement, which usually results in :( as the snakes head bumps into its body...

3. Except when the snake has length 1 or 2, then it's OK, as the snake either does not have a body yet, or its body and head switch places at the next tick.

As a combination of 1 and 2, quickly turning around is a risky move.

20 years ago, we could have had the same conversation about outsourcing customer support. It was rife with problems and limitations, just as AI today is.

But that didn't stop companies from doing it anyway. The C-suite isn't listening to researchers and the general public, they're looking at what their shareholders think they 'should' do. Once McKinsey and BCG whip out their "AI Digital Transformation" powerpoints, it's over.
It's exactly what it is.

Well he most likely died due to poisoning himself with a misidentified plant that was only ever documented as dangerous in an ancient encyclopedia over 100 years old. Nothing romantic about it, but nothing screaming "no relevant skills", either.

Don't think this is the part people romanticize, I think it's the whole "I think careers are a 20th century invention and I don't think I want one" and the "Instead, I will walk into the wild" that does it for people.
The gate-keeping around reading is insane.

A book is just long-form writing. Other than its length, a book is fundamentally no different than any other form of written communication. There are bad books just as there are bad blog posts.

Length can be an important differentiator, for sure. But I don't ever see that as the topic of conversation. Only book vs blog vs tweet. Be more specific.

Rather than just say "books" you should say which ones.

If Alex Jones writes a book, it doesn't suddenly become better than when I see a cut up Noam Chomsky interview on TikTok. Just because Jones has more room to write his nonsense doesn't mean it is better than Chomsky dropping truth bombs inside of 15 seconds.
Might give it a shot then!
I love Ruby. But as I started a new side project with Rails 7 and I noticed something was off when using the view part of Rails... it just felt wrong. The entire web ecosystem has been gaining momentum since I used Rails 3, doesn't make sense to build something with Rails just because I think Ruby is cool. In the end I want to improve my productivity and Rails does not seem to be the way to go anymore.

New setup: TS both in frontend and backend. Supabase backend; everything is based off on Postgres/SQL (yay, it paid off to learn SQL instead of only using ActiveRecord). Getting your frontend code to just work with the backend is amazing (by sharing autogenerated types).

I have also been using Python a lot lately since it has everything I need for ML/AI-related stuff. I'm using Ruby for quick scripts now, but I've been looking into Clojure for some time now and this seems the place to sneak it into my workflow.

Anyway, just my anecdote as someone that's been using Rails heavily for ~15 years. Not sure what to make of all this, but numbers make it clear Ruby is on the way out and its future will be a bunch of 'old' folks like me reminiscing about the awesome syntax and fluidity of taking dynamic languages to the extreme.
As always, it needs to be said that selection bias is a thing; these surveys do not show people who <blank>. They measure Stack Overflow users who <blank> (... and then responded to a request to complete a survey that has questions about it).

Hire a manager to do the work you do not like. Or hire people that can manage themselves - like people who have experience running their own business.
One big use case is decentralized cloud computing. The advantage over centralized services is low prices due to market pressures.

For example, Filecoin lets you store data for $2.33 per TB per year. If you used S3 that would be $150. The Golem network let's you run compute jobs for $0.003 per CPU core per hour.

The only barrier here is software. There just aren't enough developers to build anything useful. There could be a user-friendly web service like the AWS console that enables normal developers to use this stuff, but nobody has built one yet. Golem could support GPU compute so that people can use it to train AI models cheaply, but they are short on devs so that feature is still in the backlog.

Give it time. Encrypted email has been possible since at least the 90s, but many hospitals still haven't adopted it and are using fax machines. Before people can adopt crypto, they first need to understand it, and that's not going to happen for a long time.

I'm not an astrophysicist, but I asked one.

Moving from Heroku PostgreSQL to YugabyteDB
Recently, I was forced to migrate an old personal project (a URL shortening app) from Heroku to Google Cloud Platform. Why? Because Heroku terminated their free plans and there is no plausible way to pay for their premium plans from India.
While at it, I decided to use YugabyteDB as the database instead of PostgreSQL. Here's a detailed account of how I did this: https://otee.dev/2023/01/08/migrating-heroku-to-gcp-and-yuga...
PINs for freezes seems to be a thing of the past. I recently unfroze all of my credit reports momentarily so they could be accessed, and none of the big three asked for the PIN. They each have their own login and as soon as you authenticate to that, you're good.
I can confirm asking to be excluded from refreshes (which AFAIK is still a standing offer, but I obviously can't speak for the mirror team because I am not at Google anymore) would stop all automated traffic from the mirror, and that sr.ht could send a simple HTTP GET to proxy.golang.org for new tags if it wished not to wait for users to request new versions.
Only really the case if the available power is limited, so flowing around you means the voltage drops. Otherwise it'll just do both. That, and wet skin has (massively) lower resistance than dry skin. It's unlikely to work out for you.

Skin is also hydrophobic. You're unlikely to have a complete circuit with no breaks on the outside of your body, unless you're currently standing in the shower.
Yup. My steam account is old enough to vote and it's never even crossed my mind to go elsewhere (exception: Good Old Games for older or self published games). The Epic Store is never going to earn my loyalty due their exclusivity deals.
> you simply change the last part of the URL from “/acr/oow/” to “/acr/report,” and the site would display the consumer’s full credit report.

Oh wow, that's one of the dumbest security hole I've seen so far. That means you're either authenticated in the first screen, or the second assumes that you are whom you say you are if you lend on it. There's a clear lack of ethics from whomever built that, whom either didn't care, or didn't know enough know enough to excuse themselves from building it and ask for assistance.

I mean, this is not your regular system. Everyone is in there, not that they have much of a choice, and it's their most sensitive data, that you decide you're up to the task to protect.

I'm all for learning from your mistakes and I'm the first one to screw up once in a while, and to admit that I am not a security expert. But the size of this combined with how freaking dumb this issue is... This is most likely gross negligence. In most of other industries where people call themselves engineers, you would be putting your own professional reputation on the line when deciding you're up to the task. Then you would get in front of am ethics commission and likely get your license suspended or revoked.
Native code is slow (and always will be)
Induction is great though, just replace the old stuff.

It's very fast and so much easier to clean. I wouldn't want to go back to gas really.
I am not unsympathetic to your ultimate meaning. However...

Take everyone's favorite whipping boy, Facebook/Meta, as the example corporation. At every turn, they have shown that they have prioritized greed vs community good. Any good they provide is only to further their pursuit of wanting more. Because they are so large, any upstart competitor with a total opposite ethos that might come about gets annihilated by the behemoth.

If legal action were to give Meta the corporate death sentence preventing the company from operating and its execs from pivoting to somewhere else, then and only then could the competitors actually have a chance. So just because there's a death sentence for a corp doesn't mean the "people" lose as well.
I do appreciate the effort, but Big reveals reframe the films narrative in some important way. The recent Marvel and Star Wars films have been such a mess they didn’t have much to hide this way.

Ray’s family doesn’t really matter narratively, while Luke’s father killing / becoming Darth Vader shifts it away from a story of revenge. Contact is a great example of how subtle this can be with static on the recording vs hours of static on the recording.
If you don't care about "word games", I suggest you stop arguing about "locked" and focus on the actual point, which I rephrased for you. The actual point is about prevalence.

> hundreds of moons

> literally the only body

They are all moons, not planets, and not in different star systems. That's not enough to make conclusive statements about exoplanet spin.

That statistic is more relevant to the word games but I'm not here for word games either. It doesn't matter if "lock" implies 1:1.
Seems like they could also let one request per hour through, say, and then serve up the rest a 429.

Users trying to clone their project would hit an almost certainly up to date Google cache and thus be happy and sr.ht save on pretty much all that traffic and thus be also happy.

I believe there is a misunderstanding of the problem. The cast iron griddles of concern are "reversible" and can sit higher above the surface, certainly higher than the effect of a silicone mat[1]. Anecdotes from others who have tried this combination show that success can be hit or miss.

No one appears to make a large, flat bottomed cast iron griddle. If I could find such a thing, we would have already bought an induction stove.

I am not worried about my other cast iron pans.

oh please. You never wanted to listen to an article/book in the voice of a narrator you liked? I do. Maybe you should read a bit more.

Just because you lack in thinking of the ways it can improve our lives doesn't mean everyone else doesn't. That's a you problem. Are you so deprived of free thought, and so insecure of your capabilities, that the first thing you do when seeing new technology is turn to the government to curb it? if you don't like it, no one should use it?

>regulation

ah there it is. the 'answer' to every technological progress you have is "regulashions!"

>guns are regulated

thankfully they are not in some places. So it should be regulated the same as they are - Not at all.
It's an odd metric: all it really tells us is how many people "have a game fired up", a context in which 10 million people is basically nothing compared to how many people were actually playing games over the weekend, as well as how many people's computers with steam installed are currently on and connected to the internet, again a context in which 32 million is basically nothing.

Do these numbers actually give some kind of insights, or are they just the metrics equivalent of trivia?
Hard agree. Books present a single, complete tour of a concept. More and more lately I find myself just buying the best recommended book on a topic instead of trying to piece together my own journey of understanding. I’m working my way through Programming Rust for this exact reason.
Valve is so far a great company and Steam is a nice product. What they have done for linux gaming is huge and they treat their customers well.

I am a happy user of Steam compared to pretty much all the other similar services that exists.
>Own-goals are also certainly a thing, but it would take a serious mistake to end all of us, or even set us back that far technologically on a geologic time scale.

I must be a pessimist in this regard. I don't necessarily think it would take a serious mistake, rather just the nature of complexity itself will likely become a factor at some point and I can imagine certain scenarios playing out based off that.

When you compare the length of time of humanity spent pre-neolithic-revolution with the short ~14,000 odd years since, I can't help but feel our current trajectory won't see us reach hundreds of thousands more years into the future without a serious backslide in that time.

Humanity is pretty darn resilient, but the last few years have highlighted to me that modern day life is some weird fantasy land we've created for ourselves that has an expiry date at some point in the future.

If the fines are < the advantage to scoff the law, such a fine just puts a price tag that can be used in a cost-benefit calc for the company.
