My wife is co-owner of a very small-scale clothing retailer, aimed at young goths and punks. It has been around for almost 20 years, and has moved three times, always to slightly larger locations. It is having its best year ever, for the third year in a row.

A major turning point came about 5 years ago, when the store's two owners decided to stop trying to sell online, and concentrate exclusively on their IRL store. The increase in in-store sales was greater than the entirety of the lost online sales. By concentrating more on one thing (in-store shopping experience), they did better.

Most of the customers who come to their store do so, because they like it there. It's not like that spiked collar or horror movie T-shirt or anime sticker is a necessity, or unavailable online. They are in the store anyway, because they like it there, so why not buy something while you're there. What gets them to the store is not the "need" to buy something, it's the fact that they like it there; buying is something that happens after they are there, because it's convenient and they like the store. What's quicker and more convenient than ordering online? Buying the thing right in front of you, because you're already there anyway. But they won't be there, if the vibe is nasty or irritating or unfriendly.

Anyone know how to upload maps files into app?
I do NOT want to download maps from their servers.
Is it possible?
I imagine we'd all be surprised by how much grey skullduggery we don't hear about, from any government.

E.g. surveillance high-altitude balloons and HALE UAVs over the past decades
Gun control gets liberals writing checks.
Abortion bans get conservatives doing the same.

The skirmish lines move back and forth but they never really change ( oh yes they do! shout the stirrers of pots ).

Our society is akin to rats in a shadow box. We are poked and prodded to act as the minders see best for themselves.
I disagree. The change is recent and a rebrand isn't necessarily a failure if people take time to switch.

In twitter's case, they built a lot of culture around "tweeting" and the bird theming. The fact is that none of those are going to change soon.
But is it making a point that beef consumption is not a 7 days a week thang.
Also, Twitter is not where people go to be nice. Twitter incentivizes snarky, disparaging, curt behavior because (a) it limits message length to an extent where nice speech doesn't have a place (b) saying nice things gets you likes while saying not-nice things gets you retweets, and retweets are more highly valued by the algorithm.
> How much money do you need?

Obviously this is a tough question because CoL can vary a lot, but I just want enough to live a middle class lifestyle covering living costs and having some spending money to enjoy, but preferably not something that will eat up all my time (a friend of mine was a nurse which pays well on pepper but she was desperate to get out because of hellish hours)

> What’s your personality like?

I’d like to think I’m easy to get along with, and moderately sociable, but I don’t have outgoingness for something like sales. I’m still a tinkerer/hacker at heart, but I’m just not good enough to be competitive on a job market.

> Were there any programming adjacent roles you thought were interesting?

Yes, there are still even programming roles that I think would be interesting, but “interesting” seems mostly out of reach. I’ve always been interested in security, but not the sort of positions I could get. Occasionally I’ll still see a programming job that I think would be interesting, but they’re usually highly technical senior positions in domains I wouldn’t qualify for anyway.

I blame the devops industrial complex. When cloud providers came online and especially when "devops" became a thing then developers became the marketing target. Social media, the whole influencer concept, and all those manipulation tactics were turned loose on software developers. Look at the breadth and depth of services and tools on the market to produce a web application.

Another thing, this isn't the first instance of the pendulum swinging back. Providing what would normally be desktop apps through a browser reminds me of dumb terminals attached to an AS400.

Ask HN: How do you architect a versioning system?
A semi-common feature that many SaaS products have the ability to store and restore older versions of a "document", e.g. Google Docs, Notion, Figma. However, most of these products feel like they have a document rather than db-based model that operates on multiple tables. For example Figma has a great article about how their documents are actually files rather than database rows: https://digest.browsertech.com/archive/browsertech-digest-figma-is-a-file-editor/

So for a system that is built on top of multiple database tables to load a single page/document how would you go about creating and storing a version history for all the related tables? Or would you use a non-db approach somehow?
I visited the one in Thiruvananthapuram, did not knew the history behind it till the below wiki link.

Honestly, I won't recommend. The quality is sub par.

I came home one day and my cat was laying on my keyboard. Above her was a screen with a large amount of random control characters in a terminal with a kernel panic screen. So there's some series of buttons you can press that will crash a Linux desktop from a lock screen.
Overdrafts come with limits--hence the need for a transaction to check that we are within the limit.

Depending on the layout of your space and how it's constructed, fishing cat 5 through the walls using fish tape might be relatively easy. A quick search will find you guides with the details. However since your place appears to be cursed for networking I'd try running cat5 outside the walls for a while first to make sure it actually behaves as expected.
Comments like this act like the consumer has all the power to choose and create the world they want. We don't, companies own this world and major public forums and make decisions together like this which we are powerless to change.

Corporations have more power in our government than individuals. They have a better understanding and coordination. Acting like a public forum owned by a company is immune from criticism because it's a private company is sweeping so much under the rug.

Yes, when I say "small enough you can't adopt effective organisational controls" I mean organisations that are large enough that they're discarding so many disks they might accidentally forget to wipe some, and yet small enough they don't have procedures and record-keeping that prevent such accidents.

A large organisation will usually have tedious checks and record-keeping for wiping and discarding hardware, probably instituted after they wiped and discarded the wrong hardware.

The police should absolutely use drones if it means getting officers can investigate without misuse of lethal force ever being an option. They are only using it when they would have otherwise sent a squad car or done nothing at all, so this seem like a net benefit for the community.

Milton Friedman had some free market arguments for the school system.
The licence is not for the user, the licence is for the publisher to do the bare minimum needed to tell their bosses that the model weights or implementation code was published ethically.

As others have pointed out, these licences appear unenforceable.

The publisher simply wants to appear responsible. There are likely many open-source-oriented engineers and scientists at these tech firms who have been pushing for publication. (See the discussion between Mark Zuckerberg and Lex Fridman.) The involved tech firms only care about the licence as far as it might minimise the likelihood of public backlash if any of these published models cause harm.

As in, you currently do not, but you desire to, but you need something to convince you, and the current evidence you've seen is unconvincing, which means you have standards of proof.

The sad thing is that they won't. Lidl can't risk sending these out with the compromised URL on the packaging, and covering the URL would take a lot of people in the chain cooperating and donating resources to arrange that.

It is cheaper for Lidl just to donate a new batch without the URL and destroy the affected batch… The best thing one can hope for is that these end up on the break room table at Lidl shops, but there are probably rules that prevent that too.
> Don't browser extensions essentially represent the failure of the browser to provide features that users want/need?

Browser extensions can exist to fill needs which are specific to one web site (e.g. "Clickbait Remover for Youtube"), or which are so esoteric and/or ridiculous that they shouldn't be a core component of a web browser (e.g. "Cloud to Butt").
i think this falls into the police accountability scope that have driven a lot of protests in the last few years. albeit for completely different reasons, the problem is still accountability. it needs to be addressed.

Matanuska Telecom Association | Software Engineer - Systems Engineer | Full-Time | Alaska (UTC-9): REMOTE

MTA is an Alaskan ISP serving the southwest area of the state. The software team consists of 7 devs who support a relatively complex business enterprise environment. We're looking to add another Software Engineer and a dedicated Systems Engineer (DevOps) to our team.

As the hiring manager I want to be clear about a few things:

- This is a 70 year old enterprise telecom, not a high speed startup

- This job may interest you if you want great benefits and long-term job stability

- We have an existing environment running onsite on VMWare; the Systems role is designed to support, improve, and make adjustments to our tech stack over time

- Our core backend language is F# these days (replacing Haskell after 5+ years in production), frontend is React

It's not just an empty threat either. It's happened numerous times in NYC when the mayor or city council has attempted to reign in the NYPD, they simply stop responding to calls for service and then blame it on the politicians. Even if it doesn't lead to an uptick in crime, it still angers voters that police won't respond to their calls and they take it out at the polls.

> You argument just boils down to bad programmers writing bad code.

Good programmers can write bad abstractions as well, because good abstractions require sufficient understanding of what you're trying to abstract and we have blind spots (the unknown unknown). Thus the caution.

> It has nothing to do with abstraction or not.

"Bad code" is one thing, "bad abstraction" is a very specific subset of that problem.

> Everyone either wants to find the silver bullet that will produce code perfectly the first time or find some concept to blame when it isn't.

I think you're missing the point. Bad abstractions, especially when depended on by many users, are 10x bugs. Nobody's saying "make all code procedural and never abstract anything" -- however it's very valid to say "problems caused by bad abstractions are super bad so let's be extra careful." I mentioned strategies for being extra careful earlier: let more experienced folks do the design, defer the abstraction until you have more information, etc.

There's also levels to everything. Of course there's no repercussions for how you structured the classes in your internal facing webapp. Nobody cares about your codebase except you. If you're building a foundational building block of a complex system however (e.g. the message bus for a self driving car) you had better make the best approximation of the right answer from the get go, because that system isn't going to be re-built for many years.

> Don't combine logic and you need twice as many programmers to do the work.

This doesn't ring true. Duplicated logic doesn't always mean double work.

> I started this rant by saying if you don't abstract, you'll always be slow.

Yes and my point is: if you think abstracting is always a net win, you're probably green and haven't seen the myriad cases where it bites you.

I can't speak to the gocoax MoCA adapters, but I have the Motorola MM1025's and they work flawlessly. They are rather difficult to get nowadays, but I hear the MM1000's are just fine as well (just GbE rather than 2.5GbE).

Other than that, you could go for more serious p2p wireless or string a CAT-5/6 cable.
Smals to Belgium is pretty much what Sogei is to Italy. A government-controlled IT sweatshop.
Let's breakdown what tos is. It's the terms they are enforcing to provide you a service. They can refuse you service at any point for any reason. You can have your own terms of service that they must follow or you will refuse to do business with them.

By adding that they can train AI they are trying to get out of a future lawsuit that may happen if the courts require consent for training (current anyone can train on anything).

Your right to sue them for using the data they hold might be lost if you continue to use after the term change.

If they asked for your car and you refused they could stop service but they can't take your car.

They can't change payment terms from the past and sue for them. But if they change the tos to say it costs more now your next bill will go up. If they say they can use your data now that they hold and you have an active account they could take that as an acceptance that past/future can be used to train ai.

A better example might be a right given. For a year you could download photos for AI training. Today they forbid that for all future and past posted photos. Anything downloaded before the date can be legally used to train.
