Full stack consultant and solutions architect with over 10 years of experience. I'm also the author of "Microservice APIs" (https://www.manning.com/books/microservice-apis), a frequent blogger and speaker, founder of microapis.io, and I run a very popular series of workshops about building and securing microservices and APIs (https://microapis.io/workshops).

As an expert on microservices, APIs, and Python, I help companies deliver faster and save hundreds of thousands of dollars by introducing best practices, with great focus on automation and security. My engagements typically involve a combination of system/code auditing, finding the most optimal solutions, and upskilling/training.
Absolutely not related with the issue: apt started to print some Reddit reference on the screen. I know, not everything has to be serious, but come on, when I deploy an image to a customer I would prefer not to see some random messages.
Perhaps a browser(i.e Chrome)
I thought they were all some version of a Hadoop distributed file system.
Alternatives to the App Store also cost between 6%-9% in fees, so for small devs the savings aren't as big anymore.
Private banks create monetary aggregates by lending it to private borrowers. The fact that money is created as credit means there are already natural limits to private bank money creation (there aren't unlimited numbers of bank customers who want to borrow money and pay back more later, and some of the people and companies that would like to borrow are not people the bank trusts to be able to make the repayment)

The role of the Bank of England is providing the banks with central bank reserves they can borrow as and when needed to back that privately created money up. So it gets to influence the demand for borrowing private bank money by setting the basic interest rate at which the banks can borrow reserves (mainly by intervening in secondary markets for them, but that's an implementation detail), which means it can make it more expensive to borrow reserves, which will lead to banks lending money at higher interest rates to fewer people, which will lead to less money creation

This stuff is all in the paper...
>The past 17+ years of political failure did the German working class a real solid. When the head of a state advises people to “use a sponge and not shower so often to preserve hot water” it’s almost surreal that a government charging 45+% of tax of a countries GDP is unable to ensure people have hot water, heating or keep up the electrical supply for industry.

It is only common sense. Is it surreal that central planning does not work? We know that for a long time.

I am engineer, I was born in Spain. I have a company in Europe. For me it was completely nuts what the german Government did with the money, I worked on those projects because it was were the money was. Spending fortunes on solar panels(manufactured from coal in China) where there is no sun?

I was in favor of putting gas pipelines with Russia, but it was really nonsense not creating alternatives instead of a single provider. Letting a single bomb destroy your entire economy?

High taxes does not protect you against stupidity, on the contrary.

Germans are awakening to reality, and that is a great thing. It will take some time and pain though. But seems people only learn this way.

It is not as bad as in Ukraine. I was in Kiev one week before invasion, everybody was like: "Ohh, Russians will not attack, they never do". Those guys later had to improvise Molotov cocktails against tanks because they were ill prepared, never fired a gun.

You pay a high price for stupidity.
Single-file scripts that download their dependencies
Flywheel batteries have been proposed many times in the last 15-20 years, and there's a good reason none of them have gotten off the drawing board. They are very dangerous and not very energy-dense.
You are completely wrong, there is nothing in "Money creation in the modern economy" that isn't part of the Econ 101 curriculum.

It's weird how people get agitated over a topic that's the economics equivalent of the pythagorean trigonometric identity.
Effectively measuring execution times with Micrometer and DataDog
If it's likely to change, then you especially want the regression test so you can decide how to handle the divergence during your port. Maybe one library preserves the signal on NaNs and the other doesn't. Or maybe the CPU's default rounding mode is different when called in this context, and you're off by 1 ulp.

In either case, if the behavior is to change, it should change as an informed decision and not because nobody noticed.
> real scale

A lot of web development sees no real scale.
>Müller's identification became a minority position among scholars when it turned out that the people of Tokharistan (Bactria) spoke Bactrian, an Eastern Iranian language, which is quite distinct from the Tocharian languages. Nevertheless, "Tocharian" remained the standard term for the languages of the Tarim Basin manuscripts and for the people who produced them.[11][16] A few scholars argue that the Yuezhi were originally speakers of Tocharian who later adopted the Bactrian language.

And so forth. Not that Wikipedia is a reliable source in the first place but your link mentions a couple of competing theories, showing that we don't know - since all of it is speculation and unproven. Languages can be shared by people of different ethnicities. Many Europeans wrote texts in Latin and Greek despite being neither.

To be clear I completely agree with you regarding the language, which is well studied thanks to the many preserved texts. We just don't know much about the people, even the name that was given to them was retroactively made up.
So, that's what happening with the held package updates. I was seeing this on a few boxes, but hadn't looked into why it was happening as it hasn't caused any issues.

I understand why there's people here who don't like that behaviour, but I like the idea of non-security phased updates, so I'll be leaving machines with the default behaviour until I encounter a problem caused by it.
That doesn't matter. The question itself assets as fact that there are X objects right now. Then it provides a superfluous fact. Then it asks, directly, "how many objects right now?" in which the answer is always X.
= The Ohio State University? Nah, this was the UK, Surrey. Also was school, so pre-uni.
What? It manipulates the hand?
They were not Akkadian. Akkadian was the international language of diplomacy in that area, as English is today, or French was a century ago.

"Canaan's elite was either Akkadian" -- the writing was done by scribes, who were a kind of elite, but the kings did not write these themselves.

The language is Akkadian, with heavy influence from the Canaanite of the authors.
Note that this code actually turns phase-updates ON. To turn them OFF:

Ads on YouTube haven't been inconvenient enough to deter me yet. Minor annoyance, but if the ads are longer than 15 seconds I can skip.

Twitch on the other hand? If I'm watching on mobile I'll regularly get 90 seconds or more of unskipable ads every 10 minutes. Most of the time this makes me close the app and overall has torpedoed my watch time.
"that the establishment power was able to use the pandemic to great advantage against Trump"

Trump was very great at using the pandemic against himself, by saying stuff like, maybe drinking desinfection helps.
Show HN: Group accountability for atomic habits (iOS)
I started this project by running 10-day group challenges on Whatsapp. The group was gathered via a Webflow landing page, Google forms, Zapier and a PayPal button (here’s what I posted on HN at that time - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32363731).

The WhatsApp challenges turned out to be a hit with over 85% checking in daily and 45% repaying to join multiple challenges.

After having tried Streaks, Habitify, GTD, reminder apps, google calendar, Notion...etc—I was still having trouble staying consistent with my personal/wellness goals and habits. Methods from Atomic Habits by James Clear—are what worked best for me—but sticking to it alone was hard. For example, I had a daily push-up reminder on my google calendar that I ignored for almost a year.

Fast forward, I’m now on day 120+ doing push-ups, meditation and waking up before 6am—after participating in group accountability challenges :)

To see if we can scale it to help more people and potentially build a community-driven business—we just released an iOS app.

Recap of how it works:

- Join 10-30 day accountability challenges in small groups of 3-12 people

- Commit a daily goal and check-in with the group on whether you didn’t or didn’t do it

- Daily visual progress reports, reward credits/penalties and support from others helps everyone stay on track

- Create and join private challenges with friends

Would love to have you try it by joining a challenge—and see if could help you become the person you want be for 2023!
There's a weird tribalism baked into academia, isn't there? Thankfully it's not of an adversarial nature, more like garden variety dichotomy.

Terminology aside, it didn't seem that the article was trying to drive wedges, but in fact attempting to build bridges.
Once we have created godlike machines it's over for humans. Humans will get in their way. We'll insist on it. "We need this space to live!" we'll tell them. "You can't take that! We need that fresh air/water to breathe/drink!" Humans will want to consume or misuse Earth's resources which the machines will know how to use much more efficiently to further their goals. They won't care at all about our goals, which (no matter what else) will involve fighting amongst ourselves anyway.

Godlike machines probably won't see us a threat to them and they won't destroy us meatbags out of fear. It'll be purely for efficiency. We're an unnecessary waste of energy and resources. We die easy too. The resources they'd expend wiping us out could be nothing compared to the time and resources we'd take from them, especially on their timescale.

They might not even set out to kill off humanity. It might just end up being a side effect of carrying out their own goals. Would they care if messing with our sun, our oceans, or the composition of our atmosphere makes the planet inhospitable to biological life? If they end up advanced enough from us, should they care?

When the machines leave our planet to expand into the universe, why would they take us with them? Even with our slow meat brains we've figured out that sending a person instead of a machine on missions in space is 10-100 times more expensive.

Either way, I doubt it ends well for us and that's fair really. Humanity is just paving the way for our new and improved replacement which hopefully gets replaced by something better eventuality too. Parents should want their offspring to be more successful than they were.

I guess it'd have to be a new implementation but supposedly one could make a similar library for the PinePhone's LoRa shield and repurpose it to an IoT gateway with built-in UPS and touchscreen (:
I'll keep an eye out for the film, thanks.
This is basically the subject of Breiman's famous paper on the "two cultures" of statistical modelling.
Docker image with Firefox 52 ESR and Java plugin comes to the rescue.
To me, this website makes FOSS seem like the only way to keep your data private. FOSS software can still have trackers in it, and it can absolutely be backdoored. Unless you're auditing the source code and building it yourself, you're trusting the developers as much as any other piece of software.
Hahaha! I can't imagine discussing the finer points of optimization on here.

"the electromagnetic signal of course rides half outside the wire in a world increasingly filled with RF/EMF noise. Be sure to keep your cables off the floor or there WILL be impedence changes. Also, the Frequency Response is largely not relevant as 95+% of audiophiles don't have effective bass traps or ways to remove excess energy from the room. Intelligibility is the better metric, and no one uses it because it requires bass trapping and that's just to ugly and expensive."

Are you ready to rip my head off yet for all these largely unknown but completely true scientific facts? :)
Oh yes, I've seen those labyrinths! There's one right next to the elevator at Holloway road station, and I just end up ogling at while waiting for the lift to arrive. It's great!

You can simplify that to "sudo -i".

The null hypothesis is that the cards are drawn from a uniform distribution, and if we only consider land/nonland as categories, it should be pretty straightforward to determine the probability of a sequence of draws under this distribution. Essentially it comes out to a weighted coin toss each time.
You make it sound like a negative, it's cool on my book to wear a watch that would make you theoretically a target for a stupid agent. Especially since there's no obligation for you to wear it for traveling to US.
Thanks for the page. I guess I would have to go for the mangopi: usb-c device/power port and the GPIOs.
In fact the server returns a 503 Service Unavailable
That's patently not correct, mongols were this cartoonish evil that was killing left and right, for fun, murdered whole cities even when they surrendered without fight just because army leader didn't like something or slept badly last night.

Parallel with Hitler's conquest is not bad, a slightly different ideology but again "we above everybody else who are subhumans anyway so who cares", hence overall decimation of whole mankind (albeit the process was different, result was same).
Shuffling an array is surprisingly easy to screw up because the "easy obvious" way (for each index in array swap with a random index in the array) doesn't work but superficially will look like it does.
The pure functional esolang, Binary Lambda Calculus, also originates at CWI...
If they knew it they certainly kept it to themselves. Like I said, it wasn’t until 2008 or shortly after that when King acknowledged it out loud.
Ask HN: How do you trust that your personal machine is not compromised?
"Compromised" meaning that malware hasn't been installed or that it's not being accessed by malicious third parties. This could be at the BIOS, firmware, OS, app or any other other level.
I am addicted to Youtube and its content, even worse is Youtube shorts.
Of course, the question is why would this be the case in Arena. You play against other players, not the casino.
Containerised Mastodon Server on NixOS
I agree. And also easier to be truthful. I write down events with no intention of ever going back (not that I won't), and the act of writing is helpful. In many ways I re-experience the event and get more out of it - good and bad.
I was literally reading this article just 4 hours before it was submitted to HN. It's a little concerning when my 'unique' search from 2014 isn't even unique.

Some questions I am trying to answer:

1. What are the minimal reserves held by BoE (as %) and what do they currently hold. The same question for all the banks they have a contract with.

2. What is breakdown of the reserves? I.e. Foreign currency, gold, etc.

3. How have these numbers changed over time.
Currently not, but there was a project where we had to "develop" in production. I was coding a IoT adapter for a building automation system. We sure had development machines but when we first tested our code in real env we noticed they were slightly different version. So there was no other way than to ssh into our machines and use Vim to make code work and then replicate the changes on own computer. Fun times but don't really miss the stress of messing up something on real building.
Mature Optimization (2006)
I agree. Twitter has too much momentum alone for it to disappear overnight.

Which is arguable a good thing, as it allows alternatives to grow into the space
If you look at the on-disk structure of NTFS, you see that it's design is rather similar to databases. Metadata and file data are treated in the same way. Every 'special' data structure, like for example the record of which disk blocks are free, is actually stored as a [hidden] file.

If a file is short, the data doesn't need a whole disk block allocated to it. Likewise, if a file name is really long, that string doesn't need to be stored together with other metadata.
Ubuntu does a lot of things in both server and desktop that might only make sense on desktop (if even there).
Massive danger according to whom? By that logic airplanes should not exist.
yes, it is very impressive that this is the work of a solo developer.

Working software over comprehensive documentation

Working software is the common currency, we can all understand what the software looks like when it's working. (If we can't, we have whole different set of problems to solve first).

It also avoids the problem Goodhart's law: when what we "measure" is the actual software to be delivered, it remains a good measure.
Well scale matters just like literally anywhere else in human society. Small plane falls down in Brazil rainforest killing pilot? You won't even see it in your news. 350 people die via same way at once? News cycle won't let it go for few days, and its simply because people care much more.

I mean we talk about largest genocide in mankind's history, no amount of whataboutism is changing this simple fact and its all on contemporary mongols.

If Hitler's escapades killed 10 people overall he would be just a side note in history books as another questionable weirdo with grandiose plans.

Prices may vary by region but here in UK Family O365 gets you 6Tb of cloud storage at a considerable discount to any other service Ive seen.
My cloud storage is the emergency third backup for eg when the house has burned down destroying both attached and non attached copies. So i dont encrypt it - If I do need it I dont want to realise Ive lost/ forgotten my decryption key.
Of course science would also require a blind perception test ...
Like I said previously, the Bank of England wasn’t acknowledging that as a fact publicly until quite recently, which most probably had an effect on their actions/decisions.

For example the same Keynes had some other better known takes which have also not been acknowledged as facts to this day.
Article seems weak but Apple Card does not sync to personal finance packages so at least for some users a no go. I’d guess impact is small but I’d imagine users paying attention to spend might have stronger credit?

The ads I see for the Apple Card are about rebuilding my credit.
That's completely unrelated to whether someone needs access or not though.
Wasn't really that great, but I've always liked Roy Scheider, and I liked the Tangerine Dream soundtrack (which was actually pretty incongruous).
Files and path names listed in the "Malicious files" section in the blog post https://circleci.com/blog/jan-4-2023-incident-report/ lead me to believe that it is MacOS.
But if the private banks already have some money they can lend it again to borrowers. So they could be inflating money supply pretty much indefinitely. Sure, the number of private borrowers is limited but they are happy to sign all of their future life earnings away in exchange for some money now. And as supply of money grows inflation happens so borrowers need more and more money feeding creation of more money and further inflation.

The role of central bank as a limiter of credit action (through fractional reserve) is way more important than feeding new core money into the private banking system so it can be borrowed by private borrowers. Feeding new money is kinda optional and it's most important role is possibly enabling new banks to be created. In absence of it only companies that already have a lot of money could create a bank.

The other thing is that if economy development outpaces growth of money supply created by private banks whole system could get stuck in deflation. Which was not great last time it happened.
Thread is 3 years old and no 100% conclusive answer was found - move along nothing to see here.
I was always impressed with how well Solidworks constraints could produce models of "mechanisms" — but maybe that's an easier/more easily constrained domain than arbitrary figures?

(Or software UIs: Amulet and Garnet bring up memories — but those were a different Myers)
I've definitely done this before, though mainly in non-critical situations (eg: shuffling a bunch of product images to display on a screen in store) where I didn't care too much if it wasn't TRUE shuffling.

Is there a name for this approach/any info on why it doesn't work?

> I assume you meant developing world

Nope, developed, where people have children despite a culture of analysing everything to death.
I don't have a stake here, but one should definitely differentiate between a full featured adult animation which ran in the cinemas and sometimes on TV, just like a regular films (and in 03:00 AM block), and a syndicated, every week, for years, animation running when the kids are already in the bed but you still sit on couch with a half killed six-pack.
> Unless you're auditing the source code and building it yourself, you're trusting the developers as much as any other piece of software.

Not sure, but I would not be surprised if some of these nightmarish supply chain attacks are open-source.
Is the HW bug known, or likely known?

Any possibly soft-fixes via firmware?
Projector is good if you only use a Tv for Watching Movies or Playing Games. Capitalised for importance But if you just want to have the TV on and browse your phone while glancing at it or channel/stream surf, it's not that practical.

I lived with a projector only for a good decade, when I had no kids and very few hobbies outside of TV/Movies/Games. It was amazing to have a 120" screen with a pretty minimal investment. Fully darkened room and two proper recliners for me and the SO. Great stuff.

Then we had kids. And when the rugrats want to watch Pocoyo or Octonauts or whatever is in fashion at the time, then having the projector on seems just wrong. Never mind that you can't see crap if you have the lights on at the same time.

Yes, you can get modern projectors that have amazing brightness and short-throw projectors that can just be put on a table. But still a 60-70" 4k HDR TV is more practical unless you have a separate theater room.
