Ask HN: How to you monetize a tech blog?
I've had quite a few tech blogs and some did quite well. I'm in a country (South Africa) where stripe isn't available so I can't monetize it using medium.

Any ideas besides doing a paid substack on how I can monetize a tech blog?

Just curious how other people do it.
Only thing I could think of was to do adds on the site for a store where I sell tech related tshirts.

Thanks :)
"Simply impossible" is relative once you don't use whatsapp anymore. People will just adjust to send you sms or call you instead for important information.
Sure you will. It's possibly a long and complex input, but ultimately that expression from you would be a response to their actions and their impact on your perceptions. Unless you're stating that you will never love anyone again, "anyone who comes along with the right input" would be any counterexample.

British government mocked for advertising head of cyber role with £57K salary
Except he's not biased at all. In the referenced video, LE is clearly not sure the upgrade to a felony charge holds water. He explains the legal method that he thinks they're using.

For those that haven't watched, the summary is that falsifying business records is a misdemeanour in NY State Law. If it's done in pursuance of a felony, then the crime itself gets upgraded to a felony. LegalEagle points out the difficulty in this because the prosecution need to prove that the falsification was done in pursuance of violation election laws (which are a felony).

Yes, he obviously dislikes Trump, and for good reason, but that hasn't affected his legal analysis. Don't believe me? Watch his videos on Trump's impeachment where he says, in spite of the evidence, that he's sure Trump won't be convicted in the Senate because impeachment is, and was always intended as, a political process (as opposed to a legal process).
Where I'm from most cars are also stick, but I got my license years ago but since then I've only driven twice: once with stick and once automatic, and I have to say, automatic is so much easier to learn that I don't know why we're all still getting licenses or buying manual cars. It must be stubbornness and the slight price difference because in reality automatic is just much more practical.
I use the tops of the fingers when doing glissandos / sliding across the keys. Otherwise, I can't think of a situation where it would make sense.
SELinux isn't about immutability, it's about program confinement. Running each daemon in its own fs/user/net namespace comes a lot closer to mimicking the value of SELinux than making the OS immutable.
What is your qualifications/experience so far?
You can and will be fingerprinted and de-anonymized.
This would seem to involve independant, standardised testing to be held on all students, every year. Letting teachers, or even the school, evaluate students would obviously make it too easy for biases.

I will admit I'm in the UK, not the US, but we only do huge standardised tests every 3 years or so, as they are very disruptive.
It depends on the hardware, see https://forum.qubes-os.org/t/community-recommended-computers.... On my laptop suspend to RAM works flawlessly. Hibernation is not implemented in Qubes yet.
that alone is pretty serious stuff, the hard part is proving it actually happened (if I was dealing with such things I would always record every conversation on some tiny recorder, not phone, but thats me)
Heh.

I was in my twenties when that "old TV series" aired, can't say I've see or heard of it but I grew up in the vicinity of Mungalalu | Truscott Airbase around people that flew in WWII and continued flying logistics around Northern Australia and various side of the Wallace line.

A lot went on in region in post war | cold war era with East Timor, Indo takeover of PNG, etc.

I've many memories of flying boats, STOL planes, helicopters, etc.
> Since there is the concept of sealed indictment, why are all the indictments not sealed (or none of them)?

There are a variety of reasons to seal an indictment (which will only remain sealed until the defendant is arrested), one of which os to facilitate arrest and avoid flight, another is to protect information in the indictment for as long as possible, especially if there is information that may be sensitive to ongoing investigations beside that of the person indicted, or if there is concern for the safety of victims/witnesses identified in the indictment.

> I guess this is to preserve the person that is accused

No, it is not. It is mostly to protect against actions of that person or their confederates, not to protect them.
This. Besides, there is only one measure that has been proven to reliably increase business climate and thus GDP - lower taxes and bureaucratic weight. And Europe is heading in exactly the opposite direction.
“GDPR sets forth fines of up to 10 million euros, or, in the case of an undertaking, up to 2% of its entire global turnover of the preceding fiscal year, whichever is higher”

Generally speaking, GDPR violations won’t be addressed with a slap on the wrist, apparently
Having worked in academia in the EU with various industry partners, I can confirm that is the case.

EU is funding research on green stuff? Let's just add that angle to our project even though we don't care about it one bit.

You'll also notice how the money always goes to the big ancient established corporations and never to start-ups.

It depends on the reason why you need it. For me, it's security, and Qubes allows to do it more conveniently.
In my experience this is not true at all, especially in huge groups. I was participating in a co-housing project and after a few weeks the obligatory WhatsApp Group was forming. Immediately some people refused to join and proposed Signal / Threema instead. End of the story, the WhatsApp Group is still alive and the biggest of them all. If you are not part of it you will miss important information. Sometimes it gets forwarded to Signal but it is a rare occurrence.

It only works reliable for messages directly addressed to a person. Then people remember, oh he does not have WhatsApp. I will tell him via signal.

"Java (understanding the JVM and OOP concepts)"

I am pretty sure that you can programm java without knowing details about the JVM and I would think, that most java programmers do exactly this. I think only in high performance scenarios knowing more is beneficial?

But I have not touched java in a long time .. as I have indeed choosen the web as plattform.

But I don't feel threatened by the high school kids coming from boot camps.

Edit:

I know what a pointer is, so I can work closely with wasm libaries.
I know algorithms and how to structure data and why I am structuring data this way in this case, so I can adopt in another case.
I know how to achieve performant simple code.
I know how to debug layers of code with sideeffects over sideeffects. Raceconditions, memory leaks, etc. (All a thing in js, too). Using and understanding the profiler etc.

Someone coming from a coding bootcamp, does not know this. He or she might learn it after years of practice, which is allright by me - but they are no direct threat to me, despite that I don't even really know react for example.
So it’s not the “not using FB” that prevents the tracking, then.
MOST counties and municipalities do not have local income taxes.
>all the funds slurped up by companies that specialize in grant applications and doing as little as possible to get the government funding, while doing not much of any use to anyone

Can confirm. Have worked at EU companies that do just that. No innovation comes out, just paperwork, and taxpayer money goes into the pockets of the system savvy and well connected entrepreneurs. There's also middle-men who will do the paperwork for you if you give them a cut.

It's basically a bureaucratic driven form of wealth transfer if you know how to play the game.
FTX EU launches withdrawal website to pay back European users
It looks super fishy: Needed password reset (so they don't have the password hashes), high fees (0.25% withdrawel fee), and you need to upload your whole life in documents (ID, utility bill, tax report etc.)
I don't think it is impressive in any way. It's pompous bullshit that is really hard to believe they really believe it themselves and can now be generated by AI.

It's, like, saying that instead of seeing a chair, they now gained understanding and only see a collection of molecules forming some wooden fibers arranged in a peculiar shape and there is no chair because no physical object can be a true materialization of the platonic idea of a chair. Like, the chair was de-reified. In fact, if no one is sitting on it does it even have any chairness? You gotta, like, go deeper bro. Like, because of natures water and CO2 cycle, the chair is not a chair and you are not you, you are in fact one with the chair. It's all atoms and quarks and strings and stuff.

Same with any brain-in-a-vat solipsist concepts. Cute and logically rigorous but completely unworkable and useless. A philosophical dead end, a cognitive tar-pit and

> I Love XML. Well-designed XML is better than well-designed JSON IMHO for human readability.

But both are absolutely inferior to S-expressions. Compare this (from https://www.xml.com/pub/a/2004/07/21/design.html):

The S-expression is trivially parseable; the XML, OTOH, requires a fairly complex (hence potentially buggy and insecure) piece of software — and if you’re not careful, you’re susceptible to a billion-laughs attack. The XML will be littered with extraneous text elements between the tags; the S-expression is not. The S-expression just has atoms and lists; the XML has both tags and attributes. Why is publisher an attribute while title is a tag? Who knows?

It’s probably not a coincidence that a Google search for "well-designed XML" yields very few results, with your comment one of those few.

Announcing Autoscaling for Postgres – Neon
I’ve been programming for 10 years, and as you’d expect know a lot of people with a few more or less years programming.

I think all the “kids these days” gripes only apply to people’s first few years. You can argue they’re formative, but most professional programmers will quickly need to evolve beyond “take message literally, ask online for help, paste error message into google/SO” to be good at their jobs. I don’t know anybody beyond entry level who operates like that.

I rarely take things literally like you said (though I may start by giving it the benefit of the doubt), I always just check the actual code from the thing emitting the error message, read the source of libraries I’m using, seek out documentation. It just so happens I can do all of that from my computer rather than doing some of it with a book.

Also check the IoT space, it is no wonder that there are a couple of POSIX FOSS alternatives with non-copyleft licenses.
It's the legacy supply chain that's causing this talk.

You've got companies who have made cars for a 100 years. They have supply chains dating back almost as long. It's really hard in a personal, business and political sense to say "sorry value chain, you're redundant" to people and companies your company has been in business for longer than you've been alive.

There are whole industries who aren't just needed any more when electric engines become more commonplace. Most of them can pivot to making something else, but some can't or won't.
> Almost all of my kids' sports activities and parent groups are on WhatsApp, I have to use it.

My company asked me to install WhatsApp once, but I explained to them why I don't use it, and they didn't have a problem with it. Sometimes, all people need to know is 'no' and most of the time they don't even need an explanation.
I'm not sure how you quantify "very small" here? I'm running low-level conferences [0] and they're big enough for me to be a full-time organizer for them: with a job fair that's included Mozilla, real estate, nuclear defense and various game studios.

Interestingly, I tried to Google one of the paragraphs from your paste and it returned no results.

When I tried DuckDuckGo, only HN came up.

I was curious what redditors thought of your response and what context it was made, but search engines seem to fall down on finding a great deal of what's been hidden on the Internet these days.
I think a reasonable solution is to just make the backend accessible from the frontend i.e. you should be able to declare how aggressive you want the inliner to be as a first class language idiom
I think the main question is: Why does Trump get indicted and Bush does not? The answer could be: Bush did a crime that supported some of the elite's supposed interests, while Trump demystified the president's role, which is clearly against the interests of "the elite", if you want to call it like that. In my opinion, war crimes are far worse than not declaring hush money correctly, but everybody has their own priorities.

Some of Intel's expansionary plans in Europe have been put on hold until they get more government subsidies, at least in Italy. Basically, a bait and switch.

I don't see how this flies as even Google was recently forced into compliance by the French recently to have an actual functional top level reject all.
One example of a mini consortium is the Compute Express Link (CXL) Consortium, which includes major players in the semi industry like intel amd and samsung. The consortium is focused on developing an open interconnect standard that enables chiplets to work together more efficiently in high performance computing applications. This should be promising trend for the industry , probably will lead to faster innovation and reduced costs i would think. Since increased collaboration between companies.
I’m kind of excited now.

I used to build random weird things all the time (mostly centered around connecting physical devices up to the internet to accomplish something silly) - but lost my mojo once I had kids and didn’t the ability to pull all nighters to “hack” something together.

Now I feel like the barrier might be low enough that I could create again. Will have to try this out and see how it goes.
Democrats explicitly had commercials pumping up Trump aligned Republicans in Senate primary races in swing states because Democrats thought they would be easier to defeat (they were right).

Sure you're not thinking of Konqueror? It was named in what was seen as a logical sequence from "explorer" and "navigator".
Isn't that sort of what happened with bureaucrat Michael Griffin wrt SpaceX? And S. Korea developed with lots of public directing of development of industry.

EU's big lead on EUV tech with ASML partly came out of US government/industry partnership (EUV LLC in the 1990s), which is why we could restrict them even now from selling to China.
fading at the bottom usually means the tube is leaking and will only get worse over time, so you should warranty it. fading in general (especially places other than the bottom) can also be cathode poisoning, which is reversible.
An important thing to Flash's success was the development tool by Macromedia.

Designing interactive animations (even games) without any programming knowledge was really easy.

Here is an interesting tidbit I learned: the median response time in a human conversation is 0 milliseconds. In other words, more than half the time you begin responding to your conversation partner before they finish speaking. And in most cases you respond nearly instantly after they finish speaking.

Anyone who has worked on voice assistants knows that computers take much longer than that to determine that someone has finished speaking. And anyone who has studied brain functions knows that it takes 100's of milliseconds for the brain to process information like spoken words.

So basically that just proves that the brain must be predicting what the other person is going to say.
Tried switching countries around. For their "free" shipping, if I switch countries from mine to the US the cost of the book drops to a third of what I was originally seeing. Goes from quite expensive to fairly cheap.

When shipping internationally, you need to declare the cost of goods shipped for customs purposes - but do you need to include in that the cost of the shipping? If not - I suspect not but am not 100% sure - this approach of building shipping costs into book price may result in a massive increases in costs paid to import the books in question.
> People will just adjust to send you sms or call you instead for important information.

Or they won't and you will be left out of things.

Not even out of malice! Obviously your closest friend and family will adapt and keep you in the loop. Bigger looser groups are more dubious. I'm a member of a book club for example. There are of course the scheduled meets, organised well in advance. But also sometimes someone just feels like hanging and posts a message on a whatsapp group that they will be at this or that location and whoever is free is welcome to join. Schedules don't always permit it, but when it works out it is fun!

Now of course if someone from the group so want to meet with specifically you/me they will remember to send a one-on-one message, but there is a power in the broadcast nature of some of these things for organisation.
Check out alternatives like ChatWithGPT[0] or just the OpenAI chat playground[1], especially if you've gotten access to the GPT4 API. Populating the system message really makes a difference and you can enforce a lot of style of both code and output. The third party UIs also have a lot more bells and whistles.

Big nuclear power plants are not the ones behind regulations. Big oil and carbon-based power plants and others are the ones that lobby for nuclear power plant regulations.
You're leaving out the rather important fact that they're willing to pay for the rockets and phones RD. I'm not saying it's going to work out well, but I feel like this should be mentioned.
That could be because doing anything in NixOS takes at least three google searches to figure out?
A similar service: https://www.concertcreator.ai/

They claim to be able to generate fingerings and animations from raw audio. The video demos give an idea of the output, but they seem to be shutting down.

that article is a little confusing, what exactly did they use it for?
I kind of agree on the first two parts - although I bet it's pretty much the same with US sponsored programs.

For the last part though I'm not sure - is the gap in important technologies really growing ?

By technological gap, I mean real technological progress - smartphones app or any forever money losing business like Uber don't qualify neither.

Yeah I thought this all along. The company really was just ego stroking for Mr Billionaire. Note for all, he has enough cash to keep funding this himself.

The reality is now that economy is worse all the frivolous stuff like this is going to be cut.
I love alternative models of computation and the EV3 mindstorms language was very nice with a type system (including coercion rules) encoded in puzzle shapes, dataflow through "pipes", parallelism through diverging code paths.

With the scratch language I'm not so sure. I feel it's just imperative programming where you can't make a syntax error. You can put strings where numbers go and the semantics is unclear. Parallelism only works through events. Does the IDE provide so much more than Greenfoot and the like do not?
Anything involving a group is planned through WhatsApp here. It’s also used to push information to large group of people. It’s my main source of news about my extended family and how I learn about spontaneous after work gathering for example.

If I leave these, people are not going to reach out to me about them. I will just cast myself as an outsider and will be left out of the loop.

If you search for the entire 3rd paragraph and append 'reddit' on Google it is the first result. However, I agree with your point that search engines are performing poorly - obviously I was only able to get this to work because I already knew the answer.
It has, especially since we don't want to go through the accounting nightmare of buying everyone ChatGPT+ accounts, so just inviting everyone to the OpenAI org and giving out API keys to be used in tools like this one has been good.
Have you considered PiperKit? I'm not affiliated in any way, by the way - this caught my eye because it seems like you're trying to get a young one interested in software (kudos). I used the Play Piper kit to teach twenty 7-8 year olds in a summer camp a couple years ago, and it worked great. We wrote Python code and built "smart" doll houses out of cardboard with LEDs for room lights and computer fans for climate control.
> if I was dealing with such things I would always record every conversation on some tiny recorder

that would also be illegal though, and could not be used in court as evidence? (Not a lawyer, not legal advice)
On the other hand, nowadays it's pretty easy to fake voice recordings. I'm not sure if it can be done in a way that is hard to detect by experts.
