Yes me too. The developers have done a great job of keeping it focused. It being a side project probably makes that easier (no wolf at the door pestering them to make it more profitable).

FWIW if you're interested I have a little commandline capture tool for pinging items onto the top of a default Checvkvist list: https://github.com/crispinb/cvcap. I find it useful when I'm in the terminal and think of something I need to note. It's unpolished but functional.
Sure, term limits can be good in many ways, and random selection can reduce the people chosing it for the wrong reasons. But who is going to give up their career to be a citizen watcher for just a few years? Likewise, random selection may not yield a cohort with the correct capacity to properly administer the system.

I'd almost think the better solution is to use mini-juries to evaluate warrants so the judges aren't just rubber stamping. At least then the judge has to explain the situation and points of law, and aren't the only one making the decision.
Which is sad for me. I really do appreciate ECC on "big" memory (> 32GB) machines.
The system proposed above is how other countries such as the UK already do it, so hypothesizing that it’s impossible is an easily refutable position.

In countries that do auto withholding/filing, you still need to tell the tax authority about any tax events, but for most workers, most years don’t require you to take any action.
> The only beneficiary of the pipeline going bust are the USA.

Ukraine and Norway are also beneficiaries. Ukraine because it reduces the risk of Germany getting squishy about supporting them and Norway because they’ve cornered the European natural gas market.

Sure, and do you see people memorizing Oddyssey-length works and reciting them anymore? Just because you live in the world of the lost does not mean there was no loss.

For (much) more on this, look at Orality and Literacy by Walter Ong
I would also be very interested.

One of my pet theories is that IT is a net loss for most businesses and that they would be better off with one designated computer for Excel batch jobs. Instead they should use cabinets, folders and paper mail.

Not joking and zero sarcasm.
That deduction is no longer generally useful to take. The 2017 tax act basically made that not necessary for most people -- almost everyone just takes the standard deduction now.

The government already has all the info they need to create near perfect tax returns for everyone. The IRS doesn't necessarily have it, but the information exists in databases that can be accessed.

The way it's done in Japan, they send you a form. If it's right, you're good and you do nothing. If it's not, you send them a correction.
While I understand it might be overengineering for your use cases, it isn't bloatware.

Karabiner can do more than simple 1:1 key remapping. For example, my capslock key is now a hyperkey when pressed and ⌘T when tapped. If that is possible w/ hidutil, please let me know and I stand corrected.

Let's get off the "I don't have a use for it, so it's useless/bad" train, please.
Yes, Intuit is a publicly traded company, they have fiduciary duty to do whatever is within their power to return their shareholders a profit, including suing the shit out of IRS for attempting to make their product obsolete.

Welcome to late stage capitalism.
I mean some people look unhealthfully slim like they would starve if there was too much snow or they couldn't leave their house for a protracted time.
Sun's sales guys were killing it right up until their last breath. I can clearly remember thinking to myself "why does this Sun/Solaris node cost $32k when this equivalent Intel costs $10K?" One day it was the in-thing, the next pooof Solaris was GONE.
dlopen("plugin.so"); /* Load that super cool reverb plugin */

Most other systems that do "plugins" tend to use a domain specific language and load the "plugin" as a normal file, rather than via the dynamic linker.

because it's not about the essay but the skills you need to write an essay. Many topics in school are not strictly needed, but important, either for your intellectual maturity or because they are used in other contexts.
I'm not an expert, but I think the state/local issues just complicate the implementation. But that sounds wildly better than our increasingly archaic rituals.
The EPA's response to the BP Deepwater Horizon blowout - in particular allowing widespread use of Corexit - was pretty scandalous:

I think they also dropped the ball on lead in drinking water supplies across the USA. It's another 'regulatory capture' situation, most likely.
This seems quite obvious to me.

Another spin on it is that you can trade self-reliance for time. All of these conveniences you can get for money make you dependent on someone else (and dependent on your income stream). You eat out at the expense of forgetting (or not even learning) how to cook. You take an Uber at the expense of not having a car (or knowing how to drive).

On the other extreme end of the spectrum you have a small piece of land where you grow your own food and sell/trade a little surplus for things you cannot make yourself.

The latter is more like my utopia. I've lived the "take Uber everywhere" lifestyle and it's not particularly fulfilling. I've also grown my own food (not in a self-sustaining way, more like dabbling in it so far) and I find the time I put into that to be so much more fulfilling.

I suppose there's a spectrum between those two ends as well and most people find comfort somewhere in between.

Edit: I only browsed through the first half of the article, I see that author is proposing some conclusions and solutions at the end. I hadn't read nor considered those when I wrote the above.
> A famous journalist, American no less, does not agree with you

A famous journalist who believed obl was imprisoned by pakistan in 2006 and the assassination was staged, siria didnt use chemical weapons, and skripals weren’t poisoned by novichok. You see the pattern here?
Yeah, the nonprofit that ran Auschwitz, whose numbers were repeated worldwide.

The grievance is that nobody updated total numbers even when this component was updated.

I'm seeing conflicting comments about the RAM. You say you're an owner and it has upgradable RAM, other commenters here are saying the RAM is soldered. Is only this new model soldered?

"As flaws are realized, the system can be improved."

One man's "flaw" is another man's "tool". The people in power exploiting the flaw are unlikely to fix it.
First, there’s no “if”, it’s a fact that can be easily verified. Second, I don’t pretend to know for a fact it was Russia. One of several reasons that I think it’s most likely is that Russia is the country involved here where one man’s irrational decisions would turn into action with virtually no checks.
My tips:

The less state (mutable variables) you have in a solution, the less you will have to hold in your head when trying to debug it.

Don't make jokes about peoples' names; the risk outweighs the reward.

If you have a "dumb" question ask it. Odds are you're not the only one wondering and that will actually make you look smart.
Ah, this is super interesting, thanks for the insight!
A luxury car or bag doesn't move the needle much, both can also be had for 10k/y. And both of those items hold some value in the event they'd need to be resold. They're far less "frivolous" than something like a nice vacation.

Hoard your treasure in a cave like a dragon if you choose, but spitting on others for finding a different balance is definitely unempathetic.
Ironically, Sun had Utility Computing for a buck a CPU hour way before anybody grasped the concept in the mid-2000s. When Oracle took over then they immediately killed this (became known as Sun Cloud) and had to start way late with Oracle Cloud. If Sun had kept going then they could have been where AWS eventually ended up. Oh well.
Maybe the founders are just trying to throttle for performance and ability to let in users only as fast as they can talk to them and get feedback. That’s what I feel like Y Combinator taught me anyway. Feels like something we should encourage on HN.

I get the concern about vapor ware and fatigue but feels like there is a better happy medium here.
ChatGPT has reduced the price for intelligence by 10,000x but if you find its answers too politically correct or generic, try to jailbreak it - at your own risk!
If company thought it's excessive they could not hire them. If company could not afford them, they would not do stock buyback. Non-performance related layoffs should be a decision that comes with heavy corporate penalties, such as ban of dividends or buybacks for a number of years.
UFOs should be required to identify themselves. It would finally bring an end to the Discovery and History channel's business model.
Except for the wonky webcam (which I can live with), and the lack of GPU (which I'm less sure about; I do a lot of ML workloads), this laptop is exactly the laptop I'd buy, if I knew it actually existed.

Problem is, I'm not confident it actually will exist.

The webcam decision is wonky. My Thinkpad has a little cover I can slide over the webcam. I can buy aftermarket stick-on covers too. Why the complex magnetic mess + storage compartment?
And I believe they do actually have the binaries still on their server. At least I remember vaguely finding a trick how to find their URL and download them manually. So I guess they could give you the last compatible version, but they don’t.
> Test Driven Development (TDD) is[…]

I am very confused by now, since I've heard one vocal camp saying TDD=TFD, and another vocal camp saying it most definitely is not, and that TFD is in fact the black sheep of TDD and should mostly be avoided.

What do people here think? (and if TDD is not necessarily TFD, then what is it exactly?)
Ooh, I especially like the idea of the fire department doing this. A burly guy with a steel helmet and an axe goes around with a credit card reader before they turn on the hoses. I'd pay up!
No problem, sorry that it wasn’t clear.

Was attempting to respond to the parent comment in a “rational” way in the event that it was a good faith comment.

But frankly I think it wasn’t. It is obvious why people are reactive to questioning the holocaust, nothing “fishy” about it. Alleging that it’s fishy implies a conspiracy, which puts us on the road to holocaust denial.

Really disgusted with all of this, I wish I hadn’t opened HN this morning.
There are many problems with that though. For example, if your CSS changes you change the filename... but now you need to change the HTML file that references it. You can't change that easily.

Or what if your CSS change just deletes some unused classes... it'd be fine for users to keep the old version until it expires. If you rename the resource you'll be causing a lot of users to wait unnecessarily. Not a huge problem, unless you're Meta or Google.

And so on.

When people say cache invalidation is hard it's best to believe them, because it is.
16% of the US, or roughly 30M people, also own businesses which take advantage of an evolving and incentivized tax code. That's why I said making it more simple doesn't solve the problems people think it does. An e-file system with the appropriate questions asked could leave our tax system in place and eliminate tax processing fees.

Some people have very simple taxes, no doubt, but I wouldn't design a system as important as tax collection that would purposefully over charge a large portion of the population.
The big issue here was with financing political spend as a corporation, and the finding was that there is no law today that stops corporate political spend.

The reasoning was along the lines that because corporations are people, and most organizations in the US are technically corporations (yes, even nonprofits, ngos, unions, clubs, etc) there's not really a way to subset out "large publicly held international conglomerates" or "businesses in industries that are mostly supplying the government" from "all social, business, and political organizations"
> EDIT: For extra credit - it's natural to look at Fasted Training in the same context. The hack here is that when you train at near peak low insulin levels ( or near peak anyhow which takes about 14h of fasting ) your body will suffer in terms of absolute performance but if done correctly you can train burning mostly fat. Theres as much on this subject to sort through as the first one. A whole host of hormonal and health benefits are purported here and I can say from experience I believe most of them having seen it myself.

I've done quite a bit of fasted training, but can't say I have seen a huge effect myself. That said, I was very fit at the time, most studies have been done on untrained subjects AFAIK. There are also studies that show that base metabolic rate increases after fasted training, but for men only while it decreases for women, which would be counterproductive if they would want to loose weight.

The main problem with most of the studies is that they have been done with very small study populations.
Don't expect government to go open source. Use open source to supersede government functionality.
Russia controls the valves and germany controls the sanctions... anti-gas sanctions come from germany, russia closes the valve, no gas for germany.

Then a cold winter comes, gas prices get very high (especially since the americans are inflating the price), german industry is fucked, people are paying a lot for heat (or being cold), and there's putin with "just lessen the sanctions, stop sending stuff to ukraine, and you get the cheap gas back". And the only one standing between the (relatively strong) industry and cold people are Scholz (...and Ursula) and a lot of "alternatives" who could take their place.

Germany and russia being friendly? American biggest nightmare... as they've said before, literally, on camera, they'll stop the nordstreams, and they did. Now, even if people of germany get fed up and replace the current politicians, they won't get the cheap gas again.

So, russia has less money, germany has less industry, usa gets stronger and can sell overpriced gas... so only one winner in this outcome, and it's not russia.
Just use iframes!

But more seriously, you do this in multi-page apps by just having that UI element in every page. Just about any (server-side) templating system lets you do that easily.
Ask HN: Question about the Business Source License 1.1
Today I learned about the BSL (https://mariadb.com/bsl11/)

I read through it and read through the FAQ for adoption:
https://mariadb.com/bsl-faq-adopting/

The question I have, is they say:

"On the Change Date, or the fourth anniversary of the first publicly available distribution of the code under the BSL, whichever comes first, the code automatically becomes available under the Change License."

Later on however in the FAQ they write,

"Q: Will the Change Date remain constant?

A: The answer depends on the company providing the BSL software. At MariaDB, the answer is no. Each new major version of the software will have its own Change Date."

and

"Q: What is considered a major version for there to be a new BSL and new Change Date?

A: The answer depends on the company providing the BSL software. At MariaDB, it would be a version that does not only fix bugs but adds features."

It is unclear to me, given those later Q and As, if the first line I quoted is saying 4 years from the release of each version of the code, or the first public release of any of the code.

What is the correct way to interpret this?

I will likely consult a Lawyer as well if I do go to use this but I figured some people here may already be knowledgeable.
Is this "drive-by reviewer" someone important? Or a rando on the list?
Good points, of which I was aware (mostly). I was trying to dispel the "just because you know the laws of physics you can make predictions based on them (alone)" tone of the GP. But thanks for doing a better job at that than I did.
> So "painting teeth" with dubious chemicals is moronic since the problem is the food.

Moronic! Why do this simple intervention when we could simply get everyone to completely change their diets, removing every staple food their family has been cooking with for generations? Obviously the latter is much more practical.
As this is not in any way complicated, a number of companies ranging from fly by night to massive lobbyists manage to do it just fine, and the IRS doesn't have to figure out how they're going to find the tax expertise, I don't know what a "task force" has to "explore." If they really wanted to do it, they'd just announce that they're doing it. This is the IRS hiring external consultants to generate reasons why they can't do it.
The processes are still ongoing (haven't decided on the offers yet), but happy to share the info in a few weeks.
To me the downfall of humanity is wall-e was just there to make the movie about robots. I don’t think it had any deeper meaning. I guess at the end they return to earth but only because it’s the logical end of the robot story.
Given their multiple references to Snowden - I worry that it's Russia.
Easy to say this from the comfort of your home.

You don't live under the current regime.
Closely related to the toilet paper metric. The poorer you are the more you pay per sheet, on average. A middle-class person will drive to a place like Costco a few times a year, buy a few large packs, and they're set. For a poor person this has an number of hurdles. Costco membership is an up-front cost. Can't fit three large packs on the bus so expensive cab fare. Less likely to have the time when the store is open. They won't have as much storage space. And $60 of toilet paper is a rather big outlay when you're broke. You can buy two rolls at the convenience store for $4 though. And again the next week. And again. Which prevents them from saving up for the bulk purchase and cab fare so they can escape the vicious cycle of over-spending on TP. It's very expensive to be poor.
Actually C57 black 6 mice (the ones used in the study), only live 2.5 - 3 years.
What Google Should Be Worried About
Reasonable point, but what makes them have to publish a story on a Saturday, uncorroborated, rather than wait until Monday and get some comment from FB?

Goes to another overall point that, why do they need to get a barest-of-bones story out like this? Is their role simply to convey tidbits of gossip, or actually be act like journalists and investigate what’s true?
Excerpt from my post about FORTH and Homer and Associates from the discussion of Forth vs Lisp:

Coco Conn and Paul Rother wrote this up about what they did with FORTH at HOMER & Assoc, who made some really classic music videos including Atomic Dog, and hired Charles Moore himself!

Flying Logos for 1989 Siggraph Electronic Theater:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hIOfEiy4lc

>First shown at the 1989 Siggraph Electronic Theater to a rave response, this 3 minute humourous film went on to win several top computer graphic awards that same year including Niccograph of Japan.

>Coco: This was a show favorite at the SIGGRAPH film show that year. The year before the conference committee decided that showing demos wasn't the way to go anymore. Peter wrote Flying Logos as a way to sneak our demo reel into the show by turning it into a story. It worked and we made it into the film show.

>Don: I truly believe that in some other alternate dimension, there is a Flying Logo Heaven where the souls of dead flying logos go, where they dramatically promenade and swoop and spin around each other in pomp and pageantry to bombastic theme music. It would make a great screen saver, at least! Somewhere the Sun Logo and the SGI Logo are still dancing together.

How is what you described late stage capitalism as opposed to simply capitalism?
Oh? Then it should be easy for you to point me to an example of working system of real-world complexity built this way, yes?

I'm especially interested to see how the system gets improved over time as users try it out, lessons are learned, needs change, etc, etc.
Russia's performance in space in the last few years has been less than impressive. I don't think 'incompetence' is too strong a word, frankly.
> Just a reminder -- since a lot of people don't know about it -- the IRS has had "Free File Fillable Forms" [1, 2] for many years. Everyone (no income limits) can use it to e-file for free.

Just a reminder, because even *less* people know. This is a third party service not run by the IRS. In past years it was Intuit, this year it looks like according to the site's privacy policy: https://www.freefilefillableforms.com/home/privacy_statement... that it's these randos out in Missouri: https://www.olt.com/main/home/default.asp
This is why year-over-year numbers are not good to look at.
“Whatever sells will decide” - bright eyes
The book Righteous Mind by Jonathan Haidt was really interesting and relevant to your point. Haidt claims that every moral framework has a set of sacred beliefs that are not unlike religious beliefs.

In other words every framework has a set of foundational axioms that have to be accepted on faith.
By September Putin would have been able to see the writing on the wall. Germany was not caving on sanctions and they were clearly expediting a post Russia energy future.

Also, are you deliberately changing what Biden said about ending (specifically) Nordstream 2 to “the Nordstreams” to make it seem more believable that he was referring to physical destruction rather than stopping the non-operational Nordstream from progressing to operational status?
ISS is the reason SpaceX exists, for example. Without it, the government funded “commercial space” efforts and development help wouldn’t have happened and the other things spacex is doing and going to do wouldn’t have happened.
Oh come on... just look at the list of anti-russia sanctions and trying to legalize literal stealing of russian assets in europe... closing the valve on the pipeline is miniscule compared to eg. cutting russia out of SWIFT.

On the other hand, this has cause many other countries to think the famous "what if we're next?", and switching from dollars to their local currencies, forming new alliances (either within BRICS or SCO) which seriously endangers the power of dollars and in turn euros.
