I used YouTrack from around 2015 (maybe late 2015) til late 2016 at a former employer, and they only used it because a vendor of theirs used it...and everyone loved it; hence started using in in-house. It really was quite comprehensive, fluid, and lovely to work with from a user perspective. But, I'm sorry, nowadays and for some time now, unless something is open source, i either heavily hesitate or avoid using where possible. Mind you, I am not against any entity making money - in fact its quite possible to do so with open source - it is simply that i value the principles of open source. The moiment that jetbrains opens up that source code, i will give them my money to pay them to manage hosting for a YouTrack instance. Separate of my ethics/values, again, i can not deny that the product was rocksolid in so many ways! ;-)
Interesting: over 1M users using a streaming service with over 10K live TV channels together with 15K films and TV shows. I wonder how they managed to pirate that much live streaming?
The way that Red Hat and Nextcloud do.
It's become a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy, like how people didn't trust Google to keep Stadia running so why would they buy full price games on it? Why would I pay for Netflix and get excited about their shows when so many get canned with no conclusion?

But as more people say that and don't bother watching until there's a whole finished story, then even more shows get canceled earlier because nobody watched the first season.

Aggressively launching lots of shows and canceling the lower performing ones might be a sound financial strategy in the short term, but I don't think it's doing great things for customer goodwill.

Just over a dozen red states refused the Medicaid Expansion, which would have offered more federal health dollars to their states. Yes the Affordable Health Act was just a band-aid on our for profit health insurance system. Our country spends over 30% on health insurance administration before you count all the billing effort by the medical providers. We have out 27% without any insurance and many more with limited coverage. The money is already there this is a rare example where nationalizing would surely safe money. The thing that should be able to help even the better off is that it should eventually reduce the strain on our emergency rooms. No system would be perfect but our system is about as far as can be from supporting individual health.
If you watch the videos GP linked you'll see that it's not lootbox mechanics Roblox is being accused of. It's basically monetizing child labor.
IMO, the problem with healthcare is the same issue as with other labor-intensive things like childcare, education etc. It's Baumel's cost disease. Products hey cheaper due to automation and get cheaper relative to services. This makes these things get really expensive in relation. The most common intervention for this unfortunately is demand-side subsidies which of course make things worse. The other intervention is tighter controls which means more paperwork which also make things more expensive. Happens everywhere.

But that's my point. Those plant-based "milks" are not milk substitutes, except in few circumstances you mention. They won't work the same when used in cooking or baking. They don't have the same nutritional value, meaning that if you use them in place of real milks in a cereal for your kid, you may be starving them on nutrients without realizing it. Etc.

For use in coffee? It's already established you can put all kinds of whiteners in it, so no need to brand another one as "milk".
Uber Suspends DEI Chief After Employees Complain of Insensitivity
Nice, solved that very serious problem there.
(Angry posting causes typos. Sorry. I hope my comment is still readable enough.)
Many comments saying Waymo could easily spin up an Uber-replacement app are missing one key point: integrating with Uber allows Waymo to have a slow rollout / soft-launch.

They can start adding support one city at a time. And for the Uber user, the Waymo option only pops up for you if the ride you requested is within the Waymo range and they have cars available.

This way they can also collect tons of data about how users respond to the offers, affinity to driverless cars per region, price elasticity, etc. And then dial the supply up or down as they wish. They can even start covering a city with just two cars if they wanted to, and then build popularity and word of mouth.

On the other hand if they started with their own app, the lack of car coverage in most areas (due to low car supply, pending regulations, etc) would quickly frustrate users who would then switch to another app, so user retention would be a nightmare.

Not to mention side-stepping all the customer-facing operations of running such a business, which Alphabet does not have an affinity for.

It's kind of strange how Netflix has the gall to raise prices while they are objectively the worst original content platform out there (last show I watched was Squid Games almost 2 years ago).

Except rural hospitals in blue states that expanded Medicaid, etc., are also at risk of closure: https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/finance/631-rural-hosp....

For example, 41% of rural hospitals in New York are at risk of closing, similar to the 38% in Florida, and a lot more than the 18% in Kentucky. Solid blue Washington is at 33%, worse than Iowa or Indians at 24 and 21%. Idaho, which you call out specifically, is only at 7%.

It’s quite interesting that your first reaction was to demonize rural voters for political choices, in the absence of any data supporting that assumption.

The UK NHS is able to use its monopsony powers to keep the pay for doctors and nurses extremely low. Doctors would need a 35% pay raise to bring it back to the 2008 level of pay. Many of them are looking to leave for Australia or Canada. Even US is considered but they would have do the residency over.

You may want to try rsrcdump for this task (https://github.com/jorio/rsrcdump). It takes a resource fork as input and spits out modern file formats for a selection of resource types (PICT -> .png, snd -> .aiff, etc.)

I just ran rsrcdump on Glider 4.09 and the resulting PNG files appear to match their PICT counterparts as displayed by ResEdit.

I initially wrote this tool to assist in porting some old games by Pangea Software. If you have some resource fork that fails to convert properly with rsrcdump, just let me know and I'd be happy to try to fix it.
>PGP is 20 years behind cryptographic best practices...

In what sense? If someone signs a package with, say, a RSA key, how is that behind in some way?

How can a standard for a file/message format have technical debt. PGP is dead simple. Where is this debt hidden?

It's simple - Brooklyn just became a trendy place in the meantime. And so, of course it's overpriced. Smart people don't overpay for things - the solution is just to live somewhere else. 99.9% of places are not trendy and thus not overpriced.

There are thousands of cities in the US, and maybe 10-20 of them are so popular that everyone wants to live there. Of course the prices in those places are going to be crazy - you have to outbid everybody else.
Maybe we need something like the Army, where you can join up, qualify, get trained to be a doctor for free, and all you have to do is serve out your term at army wages until you're 45, then you're retired and free to do whatever doctoring you want wherever.

It's how we get a lot of our airline pilots, after all.
I grew up in approximately the same period and grim possibilities, along with local economic problems to a lesser extent, were certainly a concern for me and my peers. Other risks existed as well, kids in my neighborhood school died of drug overdoses, accidents, and medical problems. Others had to deal with poverty, abusive parents, or a family member behind bars. Back then middle aged people blamed television your any despondency among youth. I imagine previous generations blamed radio and newspapers.

The only way these mild horrors get into children heads is, again, through social media.

School shootings are such a regular feature of American life that every school holds safety drills for the risk. I don't think all children get to enjoy the same sort of carefree bubble that you did. Media certainly amplifies the awareness of problems but many kids are far better informed than many adults admit, or want to be themselves.

FTFY.
I was like that in GNOME 1.2/2.0 times, tried probably every DM/WM that was packaged for Debian.

Then realized the thing I do is "switch between a bunch of full screen apps (especially when we have terminal emulators with tabs and tiles builtin)" and "move them from one screen to another screen".

So I sit down, tuned i3 to my liking and never looked back. And now first order of retrievability of most apps is caps lock (rebinded to super) + 1-8/F1-F8, and second order is rofi doing search by window name via alt+tab.

Some rules make sure same app always land on same virtual desktop so I just have my stuff in autostart and it lands in right place every time

The thing is, they aren't 'needs' just nice-to-haves that are provided for free with other open-source software. Thus, when trying to choose technology for personal projects, people don't choose your software. They choose a 'competitor.' Thus when it comes time to choose software with a green-field or startup, the non-free solution isn't chosen because devs aren't familiar with it.

Literally, at work (a startup), we use Traefik (which is horrible imho) instead of nginx (which I've used literally everywhere else) because the devs who originally started this project had never used it on a personal project.

So the issue isn't paying for it, it is about making it useful enough for personal projects that people use it for personal projects that it then gets used on professional projects. Right now, it is barely useful for personal projects unless you know what you're doing.

Not if they’re looking at SSID.

But if that’s really the case you can just use the same SSID on both places, and maybe use the same IP address space and router MAC. If they’re fingerprinting the home network that should do pretty good?
What is dishonest is claiming that 'it needs time to get the bugs sorted' when it is a technology literally built on an ideology. The bugs are self-imposed and are never going to get 'sorted out' because they are foundational.

Curious if any senior devs on HN can comment on the importance/effectiveness of audits for crates?

I’m a junior C++ dev that dabbles with rust in my free time, and I always feel a bit nervous when pulling huge dependency trees with tons of crates into projects.

I would assume most places would turn away from the “node.js” way of doing these things and would just write internal versions of things they need.

Again I am junior, so maybe my worries are way over blown.
What an amazing opportunity for someone to add a new way of integrating PGP authentication by writing two short scripts:

Anyone have a writeup on using TailScale to bypass these sorts of limits?

Some folks have said it includes SSID as a check which is definitely a wrinkle. I would have assumed it was mostly just using IP address.

This is one of those cases where the War Against General Purpose Computing is going to own society, score points against users. I assume if you can root & run Magisk you could fake a geolocation for example. But Google & Apple have done everything in their power to make rooted/jailbroken devices practically unusable, to build attestation frameworks & SafetyNet & other systems to make sure corporate payloads run safe from user-agency on devices. What a shitty future!

Came here to make the comment that there are certain industry specific contract forms that are very deeply embedded in very narrow domains, including things like NAEBs (natural gas commodity sales) and the AIA Contract Forms (construction). And of course real estate. Some are publicly available. Others need to be purchased from the organizations that create them. The common factor seems to be sponsorship by an enduring organization that is widely trusted.
Firstly, I think you're vastly overestimating these costs. Server resources are pretty cheap. They could probably overlap with online infrastructure of more recent hardware. They probably could also budget a small amount of the dev time to fixing a few bugs with extremely low priority, only the most high severity items prioritized beneath servicing modern stuff.

Second, AFAIK they are running those servers right now with no revenue. They blocked new purchases, but you can still re-download existing purchases. I googled around and it seems like that's still the case. I do not know how long they will maintain that.
In this case I'm referring to the distribution channel itself being shut down earlier this year. If I were going to pick any set amount of years, be it 5 or 10, I'd want the contract to include "or until the service is shut down" so I didn't have to keep updating it once it's gone (assuming this is really even the reason, as the previous 4 years seriously put into doubt).

The first time I tried to negotiate (2006) I asked for $52k from $50k and they told me no.

The next time (2008), offer was $60k, I countered at $100k (job required relocation) and we met at $80k.

The next time (2011), offer was $110k, got $120k (relo again, this time to a tech center)

Next time (2012), offer was $125k, got $140k and more equity.

I’ve never had a job offer rescinded over it which was always something I heard about growing up.

Of course times change and ymmv.

I've built many CLIs with Cobra and haven't found it all that intense. I've built incredibly simple, single function CLIs up to some incredibly advanced CLIs that the entire company relies on daily.

I like Cobra because it gives you a great place to start, with tons of stuff "for free". Things like spellcheck on commands like if you type "mycli statr", you might get a response "mycli statr command not found. Did you mean mycli start?". This is out of the box. I don't do a single thing to create this functionality. Really nice help pages, automatic --help flags with autodocumentation all comes for free, by just running a simple init script to start the project. It speeds up my ability to make a reliable CLI because I don't need to worry about alot of the little things, I basically just create the command I want, choose the flags, and then start writing the actual code that performs the task and don't have to write very much code to manage the tool.

I usually organize my project so all the Cobra stuff is in the main module. Then I write my own custom module that contains the application code that I am building. It builds great seperation between the two. The main module just has cobra setup, flags, configuration, documentation, etc.. Then for each command, all I do is call a function from my module, where all the logic resides.

This makes it easy for me to switch between a "Cobra" context and my "Application" context depending on the module. It also makes it portable. If i want to use a different CLI framework or make this into a backend job, I can pull my module into a different project and then call the functions from that other project that reside in my module. The module is unaware of Cobra entirely, but it performs all my logic. The cobra module (the main module) contains only Cobra stuff and then offloads all the logic to my application module.

Cobra has all the power you could want from even the most advanced CLIs (I think github's CLI and Kubectl, kubernetes cli are both built on it for example). But you don't need to use any of the advanced stuff if you don't want. It means there is a lot of confidence to build a project in cobra and if it grows you won't be limited, but it also abstracts the complexity away when the project is simple.

I don't have a dog in this fight, just a fan. It is a tool I really appreciate. I will check out subcommands though, it looks like a good project. Reminds me of "click" for python.
