short answer: yes. you can do that.

you can do anything you want. you're CEO of your life. you're young. have lots of cash. just recommend to spend more on the frugal side while income is zero. theres a recession in software anyway.
I'm not making an argument about Microsoft, but rather about the low regard I have for people who make inflammatory comments about companies online when there's human beings there doing all the work, affected by the negativity. It's just childish, and reeks of chronically online personalities.

Making a personal remark about me is plenty of reason for me to mention my success, since they implied that my perspective is somehow fueled entirely by some stock that I own. I have actual experience working alongside some MS people, and I have held that stock since 2013. So what? My opinion just goes out the window? That doesn't make much sense to me, I don't know about you...

The reason I associate that with youth is that young people often don't have a healthy portfolio or indeed any financial hygiene to speak of and seem to think that business is a zero sum game. We all benefit from the business world pushing things forward if we're holding stock in the most powerful companies. I'm hardly a supporter of the capitalist system, but I'll be damned if it's not going to work in my favor, since I understand how things are. My responsibility is to my family first. Had there been a revolution when I was younger, I'd have been among the first in line to change things, but it didn't happen.

I think I'm wasting my time in this thread, though.
Don’t you worry, they’ll come for you eventually.
They definitely cannot enforce those. Now if you do enter with shoes AND damage the floor a bit*, I still doubt they could even enforce those. Even courts here are not punitive in nature (they are restorative), so even if they sued you and won for going in with shoes, which I highly doubt, at most you'd have to pay for the damage they can prove that you made, which would be few thousand yens.

The only one I am a bit unsure is about guests, since they might technically be able to limit who goes around.

*if you do go with dirty shoes and make a mess is a different matter, I'm just talking about normal walking with shoes
Isn't the charge-back lower stakes than actually suing them? Because that would be the only alternative left, the charge-back is the third-party arbitration.
If you are using Android, you can simply create a another profile to contain proprietary apps like this. Depending on which variant of Android you are using, you may be able to restrict access to sensors and other information.

Create your account with an alias email address and use a virtual payment card from someplace like privacy.com to be anonymous.
They use heuristics, but yes in general you can work around them if you're persistent enough.
A fine criticism, but surely you see that you first made a comment about the author themselves not being able to read their own code, I replied about that, then you said it wasn't something the author themselves but about other people.
Part of it is that I'm running a gaming VM on it and passing through a GPU to that. Plus I have another GPU for transcoding my media to HEVC. Lots of RAM for all the containers as well.

I also wrote my own container that I use for all my development so I like to keep it snappy for that.

I have about 20TB of platter storage (WD Reds) + parity, and 2TB of SSD cache (an additional 2TB SSD passed into the gaming vm)

It slowly adds up. I started with a Raspberry Pi and a USB hard drive as storage.
I do this every few years, though increasingly it seems I'm not alone.

Do it. Travel, take up hobbies, explore side projects, potential alternative careers or just make your bed, tidy the house and get some exercise in. Try and make it a little constructive.

You've put away a decent amount of money, now's the time to take the mental pay off which that security buys. When you're ready work opportunities will still be there.

I tend not to tell too many friends or even relatives what I'm up to - many can't understand the luxury of being able to afford to it, or the feeling of needing to do it. Those I do tell I often call it a sabbatical - seems to fit within their mental model more easily then.

Life's too short.

I’m doing this now. Let me know if you need some recommendations or want to meet up (assuming you’re cool).

Definitely recommend it.
Thanks! Guess it's time to move back :)
I am curious how this would work. I have not heard of a US government forcing a business like AirBnb to do business with a customer unless there was a violation of discrimination against a protected class.
If anything hotels have cut back on cleaning now so no one ever goes in.

>LISP isn't a pure functional language

In the modern history-rewritten sense of the term to mean Haskell and purity.

In the past LISP was the 100% canonical idea of what a functional language is, including on HN before 2010 or so.
Telling non-technical people about UNIX is often eye-opening.

Development for UNIX started in 1969. It was done in a documented way, using well defined APIs (that later became standard) by world class engineers.

The original code (in C) is still readable. Running it on modern hardware would be a challenge, since computer architectures changed quite a bit, and modern CPU architectures were simply not invented yet! But it's not legacy code; the interfaces, ideas and libraries from 1969 have been improved on and are the foundation of the modern computing landscape.

Yet spaghetti code from two years ago, written by "best value" programmers in a language that's 100% still supported is very much legacy code. Unintelligible comments, no tests, copy-pasted code, inline queries, the list goes on. Often simpler to just re-write.

>If this is the case, then I guess Zelensky doesn't need any western weapons, and yet he's asking every day for more.

In January 2022 the armed forces of Ukraine fielded equipment that, depending on type, amounted to numbers 1/5th to 1/10th that of Russia.

With western support, which in the case of the United States has amounted to approximately 1% of annual federal spending last year, they defeated the initial advance and have fought their numerically superior adversary to a standstill.

Approximately 1% is factual and verifiable. Three rounds of aid were appropriated in FY2022 amounting to less than $68 billion. $68 billion is 1.08% of the government's 2022 spending of 6.27 trillion, so "less than $68 billion" is less than 1%-- and not all of the allocated money has actually been spent so the percentage is even lower.

What Ukraine is doing is nothing short of amazing. There is irrefutable documentary evidence that the Armed Forces of Ukraine has destroyed over 1,500 Russian main battle tanks and over 8,000 other armored vehicles.

There is irrefutable, unquestionable, documentary evidence that Russia is reactivating Soviet-era weapons systems to replace the equipment lost so far, equipment equipment losses that exceed the total amount prepared for the initial invasion.

The clear, publicly stated, unquestionable, goal of Russia is the genocide of the Ukrainian people.

If you do not believe the previous factual statement I can supply sources including but not limited to publicly-televised statements made by both government officials and state-run media.

Genocide must not be allowed to happen.

If Ukraine had possessed the weapons systems that are now being provided to Ukraine, on which Ukrainians are being trained on in Europe, the United Kingdom, and the United States as I write this comment, prior to the invasion, the invasion would have been defeated months ago.

The best thing the world can do to ensure peace in Europe, East Asia, and elsewhere around the world to to present a united front against totalitarian expansion, which is what many countries are doing.

Spare me your "butwhaddabouts" I care little about the past and greatly about the present and future.
This should be an option in uBlock (if it isnt already).
Given you brought up Switzerland, "saving your own life" isn't a valid reason there: concealed carry isn't legal there, and you need a gun-carrying permit to open-carry outside of some very limited circumstances, such as travelling to and from a shooting range. The only people who can easily get gun-carrying permits are those in security and such.

In Switzerland, guns exist for recreational and competitive shooting, hunting (so long as you have a hunting permit), and national defense. Not personal defense.
> re-release LISP with cleaner syntax.

A lot of the flexibility of lisp relies on there being no difference between a list of symbols and code (for, example, this is how the entire macro system works).

Function calls being inside the parentheses (and, really, all language constructs just being lists of symbols) is generally what people mean when they say the syntax throws people.

These two things are at odds.

You could go with Racket's method of letting people use alternate delimiters, but that's a fairly trivial reader macro in common lisp and probably not worth releasing a language over.
Don't know about OTC but patents last 20 years. So the generics will be out then. And you could get it prescribed by your doctor w/o a big deal like blood pressure meds or something now. I got a CGM prescribed just cause I wanted one. No biggie.
I am very tempted to try writing my next paper (maybe a low stake arxiv publication) with ChatGPT.

Having done the research and gotten the results, asking it to turn draft paragraphs into properly written text.
The first thing is to not turn to internet strangers but ask yourself what you want out of your life in the next 1/3/5/10 years, and how close (or far) you are from that path. If you are burning out and miserable in a tech job you could also be miserable when sitting at home with nothing to do or in the middle of a 6 month backpacking trip across random countries. There's no magic solution to feeling motivated and happy.

Fulfillment will come from meeting your life's goals. If you don't have any then, well, that's a problem you need to solve first.
Of course.

My buddy just got a job at a high-end cocktail bar as a bartender. Part of the interview process was asking him to mix a drink.

Gordon Ramsay has talked about how he'll interview chefs by asking them to make scrambled eggs.

Actors, even famous ones, generally have to 'read' for roles in order to land them.

Musicians interview for seats in symphonies by playing music.

MBAs have to do case studies to land jobs at high end consulting firms.

Hell I applied to Taco Bell as a kid and they made me take a short math test to prove I knew how to make change.

I could give similar examples for dozens of other jobs.

The cases where you don't need to demonstrate some skill in order to get the job generally fall into a few categories:

- There's some outside certifying body like the Bar, CPA, PE, various tradesmen unions, or all the licenses like a CDL.

- The jobs are undifferentiated so the workers are fungible (no special skills required).

- Job skill is immediately apparent (less than two weeks to know for certain if someone can do the job or not).

- The cost of a bad hire is low so you're willing to eat the cost and just cut the workers how don't work out.
Because you can't fit a whole paper in a headline.
> but why the hell are people marking the receipts for things they bought as spam?

I never thought people did that. That's definitely not spam. It is a one-time interaction confirming an operation you just did. Also not spam: when you buy something and the tracking sends you updates via mail.
Python isn't popular for data only because it's imperative, there's also the vast numerical processing ecosystem. Scala/Spark is an example where FP fits well.
Hotel owners will in general not screw a potential customer for an honest mistake like this, so maybe the chargebacks actual hotels get actually do warrant a ban compared to VC-funded scammers.
>I can't say i've ever read the opinion that LISP's syntax allows more expressive programming; rather LISP itself allows more expressive programming at the tradeoff of the syntax.

The conventional idea from LISPers is the other way around: LISP's syntax allows for more expressive programming, because code and data are isomorphic (so, macros and rewriting, etc.), and any function you make looks (and is, and behaves) as "first class" as any native one.

LISP's syntax is also said to be a better and more concise way than JSON (and or course XML) to describe arbitrary hierarchical structures.

Yeah, I think context is really important for future summarizers. If you think of it like information theory, the goal is what information to convey _for the message to be successfully decoded_. So the amount of information needed is not universal but context-dependent on the decoder (here the reader).

Being able to generate summaries at various levels of depth would be a great efficiency to consuming a lot of content. No more skimming through articles and books written like the author was paid by the character. But if you want more depth, it’s there. Like an LoD slider for information
There was a thread this week (?) about how AirBNB will ban you for traveling with a banned person
College educationally various outreach efforts are targeted to first generational students (those most likely to not have knowledge about how to maneuver the educational system). Unfortunately this leaves some holes, as not all student with parents who went to college know how to maneuver the system.

Basically whatever metric you choose will leave gaps. And if you try to universally implement a system you get other negative effects (from cost, to information overwhelm, to non-adaptability).
Sure but you can’t ban something without knowing what it is yet.

And if you try, you end up writing something vague that doesn’t actually fix the problem and instead bans something else.

Case in point is the EU having to write something vague and it turns out they had no idea what was coming.

Maybe just wait until there is a problem before trying to write vague laws IMO.
I was in a very similar situation and requested a charge back through Visa. it got denied after 2 months and AirBnb sent me a stern email saying they will ban my account if I try something like this again.
I cannot tell if this is a true story or not, but I don't really care. You're an excellent storyteller.
Lots of hotels offer weekly and monthly discounts.

They cater to 1. People without housing 2. Longer term business travelers. The former is more affordable, but comes with... issues. The latter is probably what you want.

IME, the nighly cost of an Airbnb is generally in the same ball-park as a reasonable budget friendly hotel after you factor everything in.
The complete lack of design standards is what kills the utility.

They should all have 3 buttons: "accept all" or "reject all" or "customize", dead simple. Every time it's a different design, different button text, different options. Usually rejecting = multi layers of options.

A perfect example of good intentions making bad policy.
Oh, interesting! According to HN Replies, that was the content of your comment (https://imgur.com/t5316Rx) (When I checked on HN, it was not "* * *")

I've seen these ephemeral "* * *" comments before, and even another comment asking about them.

Ah you made me think of my favourite screensaver. It was definitely "Bis ans Ende der Welt" (Until world's end) from the German post. Watched it many hours as a youth.
But I think I miss a after dark screensaver which I really liked but I can't remember which one it was
If it was an Amex card, very likely to win, from my experiences with them.
Would recommend one of two things:
- 1Password/1Password Secrets Automation
- Github/Gitlab CI/CD Secrets

1Password may be easier to setup with easy CLI/UI access for secrets as well as in your CI pipeline. It's paid but I love the ergonomics of the system. It's what I do for all my personal projects.

Gitlab CI/CD secrets is what we use at my startup. The most annoying thing with Gitlab secrets is that you need to give maintainer access to use secrets in local scripting, but we've been able to work around it for now
What a blast from the past. I used to work on WinForms team at the time WPF appeared. We thought we would get fired or re-assigned to other teams. Tam members ended up re-assigned to other team (by then I already left MSFT). And I remember SilverLight as well and all the promises made - originally Silverlight was lead by a PM from WinForms team.
I feel like this doesn't make sense because mainstream functional languages all provide a way to express imperative code.

In Haskell you can write an entire application using IO/do blocks and it will be completely imperative. In f# you can declare every variable mut.

Functional languages don't prevent you from writing imperative code. They give you the opportunity to choose not to, and enforce it at compile time. The opposite is not true of imperative languages, there the type system cannot help you to enforce that some code is purely functional.
Algebraic data types and exhaustive pattern matching Are a core part of Rust.
Personal experience shows you can typically use the same payment method and often even the same email address (with a different alias) to get around most bans. You'll get the odd place where this doesn't work, usually because they're implementing IP bans instead of just user bans. Bans are typically, at worst, a minor inconvenience for the person/party receiving it.
I will never ever use airbnb again

In munich I had booked 3 night stay, 2 HOURS!! before i was to turn up the host made an excuse of their dad had died and cancelled the reservation - this was obv nothing to do with the fact they had just realised there was an exhibition on in the area (where rates sky rocket x4)

I spoke to the person and they was extremly unconvicing of the real reason of cancelling - luckly I managed to get a hotel for a little more, but the stress!!!!!!! I WILL NEVER EVER use airbnb again
This is a thing I'm very interested in currently. It seems like the last 10 years tech innovation (especially cloud) should have also made it much easier to run - and maintain - things on-premise.

Containers, easy to setup SSL, immutable OS's, reverse proxies.

Those things coupled with cheap and power efficient workstations/nucs seem like a very good match, at least in theory.

Then we have the GDPR laws which - also in theory - should be much more tangible when you know exactly where your data is - and backups can still easily be stored in the cloud as long as they are encrypted.

The biggest issue I see is the lack of ECC memory in the machines I mentioned.

And then that this idea goes against the business model of the cloud providers, who have a great deal of control over where we are heading and what we are talking about.

Still I cannot help but think there's a lot of opportunity in that area which seems rather untapped so far.
Smells like a systematic scam. An opportunistic one-off like this would already be beyond immoral, but I bet the host is abusing by plan and full understanding of what they can get away with "by policy".
Pascal's Wager, re-branded for internerds.
TBF, much of that is down to suicides, as Switzerland has a much higher rate of suicide by gun than other countries. The general gun homicide rate once they're omitted isn't quite so crazy.
He did follow BnB dispute procedure and gave them a chance to overrule the host's unreasonable stance. But BnB conspired with the host to screw him over and should bear the consequences.
> Why even send students to school, if test scores are "totally" in the control of the student?

Because the tests measure knowledge, and schools are intended to impart knowledge.

As an analogy, my physical fitness is totally in my control: if I work out more, I'll build more muscle. But you'd never say "Why are you even going to the gym if your fitness is within your control?" If my local gym is really trash or I can't afford one, I can still do pushups on my own or go for runs, but nobody would argue based on that that gyms are worthless.

Likewise, schools are (or should be) built for students to learn. Students can learn in other ways, too, and any kind of learning will be measured on these tests.

The fact that other means of learning exists, though, doesn't mean that schools aren't important or useful.
And not understanding that can have fatal consequences: https://youtu.be/VVE79XT8-Mg
I doubt that after such an experience you'll want to use Airbnb again.
Lately I've had a really hard time recharging. I sleep well every night, I exercise, I don't use drugs or alcohol. I relax, watch movies, and play single player games from the past (low stress stuff!).

I want to work but more so than ever before I am lacking that spark to sit down and hammer out some code. I guess it's burnout / boredom, but my normal techniques for combatting it aren't working!
I think it does depressed people a disservice to refuse to accept the possibility that depression might be contagious, in order to protect them from being demeaned.

I'll say this ;the Third Army alone with very little help and with
damned few casualties,could lick what is left of the Russians in six
weeks. You mark my words.Don't ever forget them. Someday we
will have to fight them and it will take six years and cost us six
million lives.
So far you’ve used straw man (you don’t support poor kids going to college?) and an ad-hominem (complaining that people who aren’t you are making money…) attack in your responses, which indicates a lack of argument in good faith.

I spelled out pretty clearly why somebody might have issues with taxpayers subsidizing the tuition of a Harvard graduate.
I wonder if this is conflating very different groups.

You have Group A men with not enough money and financial stess.

And Group B men with "plenty" of money and extra time.

A "Group B" man is the kind of man who is likely to have lots of resources for cheating which is likely to lead to divorce.
Maybe you could also leave the water running and keep all the appliances turned on for the duration of the stay.

I think it's less about forcing them to do business and more about the regulator/consumer protection agency getting wind of what is obviously malicious and potentially illegal behavior from the company - a lot of companies will fold when a case gets anywhere near litigation/consumer protection/arbitration just to not attract attention.

In this case, the chargeback was just the last resort solution for the customer because they were stonewalled by customer "service", but they otherwise didn't want to chargeback and would rather just be able to cancel their booking properly and keep using the service.
