> we should look for solutions on how to make JavaScript safe

I'm using Qubes OS, which allows to run many sandboxed Firefox instances, with colorful window frames. I run JavaScript without a fear, since each Firefox runs in its own VM, with no data in it.
Hmm...is this useless "but, look, we're doing something!" rule-making after the fact?

Or prudently making sure that "security" has a tool it needs to quickly deal with repeat incidents?
Or when you go to a state that has zero major banks but want to put a deposit down on rental but all the payment apps have arbitrary payment limits that make it impossible

or the exact same scenario but you dont use a major bank so have no banking to get that much cash quickly or cheaply

the list goes on
As I don't use them, I wonder if you can combine the two? So that every source is contained and each destination is contained as well. Might get a bit annoying with somethings, but.
I used gnucash religiously for few years after we moved to the USA. With limited finances and having no clue where money typically goes in a new place, gave me quite a bit of anxiety about our financial future here. Gnucash allowed me to have a very precise understanding where money comes from and where it goes. Yes, it took valuable time to keep it going, but gnucash with double entry system, ability to import statements and often automatically reconcile transactions, made it doable.
I found that, to be really effective, you need to import the transactions from your bank somehow. I use YNAB to have it automatic, but you can also manually export/import CSVs from your bank (I used to do that before they supported EU banks).
I clean mine about once a week. It tends to get grimey.

If done by a civil servant (government employee), that would be grade AA (Admin Assistant) or AO (Admin Officer). An AO in London gets £24k/year, which is around £11.50/h, or $14/h

I did this when I was still by myself, but a) having family and b) having more and more micro transactions (like coffee, transit, lime scooters…) and c) more and more accounts (amazon, paypal) means I had to declare time bancruptcy meanwhile
I've been using this for 1 or 2 years and it makes my life so much easier... I don't understand why Firefox doesn't make this and Multi-account containers an integral part of the browser.
I know, I mentioned it, yet still I feel like this is scary approach
For transparency it looks like this user works for GoDaddy based on a previous HN comment where they link to their GoDaddy email address. My personal recommendation based on customer experience and privacy is Namecheap or Porkbun.
Andreessen's Techno-Optimist Manifesto as Redaction Poetry – Ben Grosser
Open Banking and open-source client-side software is a poor fit (btw, the "open" is a sham, there's nothing open about it).

Open Banking is implemented as a set of REST APIs using oAuth offered either by the banks directly (if you have the necessary regulatory approval) or by a gatekeeper such as TrueLayer/Plaid/etc (and I believe you can piggyback off their license, so no regulatory approval necessary).

Consuming oAuth APIs relies on guarding a client ID & the associated secret which would be impossible in an open-source app (or any client-side app for that matter, since extracting those is merely a reverse-engineering problem), therefore out-of-the-box Open Banking support is impossible.

However, nothing prevents them from developing the integration and let the end-user provide their own client ID/secret from their own accounts, and I believe most of these Open Banking providers have a free dev plan that can nevertheless connect to real accounts and would be enough for this.
If they stopped tracking you, they wouldn't be able to show you targeted ads, which would make the ad revenue go way down. In other words, it's not gonna happen.
And they've open sourced a lot of the code they use for their infrastructure:

They also had a blockchain-based timestamping system a year before the Bitcoin white paper was released :)
How do you figure Amazon is failing? I doubt anybody’s AWS bill has declined lately
This was a multi unit property. No way the lender/mortgage company would allow a policy that didn’t cover rental use.
I find this fascinating, hidden in plain sight. If you observe it without making assumptions about common bad patterns used by many websites, it's hard for me to call it difficult to notice it's a giant green play button (assuming there aren't multiple different login screens) can't be much bigger than that.

It is large and same shape as buttons for other options. Plenty of websites that try to hide least desirable options (for them) by making them smaller and assigning a style that doesn't look like a button at all.

The color is slightly different from options. That has both benefits and downsides. One hand it helps it to standout, on the other hand it can cause you not to consider as an option. Although I personally think that it would be more hidden if it had the same color and it was placed in the middle of list with rest of login options.

I guess this demonstrates how many bad websites have trained people to ignore popups so that they instinctively close them or whole website in a fraction of a second, or if they don't instantly close it brain blocks the ability to perceive any information within the popup.

Did any of you had the later experience where you spend some time looking at the login screen for a while but weren't able to perceive what's in front of you? No need to answer if it was the first case. There is very little you could perceive within the short time it takes for some of you to close it.

For me personally it wasn't that bad. There was something like a half a second hiccup, where I thought that this is will be one of those sites that want you to login, but was afterwards pleasantly surprised that they offer option to play without logging in.
Finally, we can implement INTERCAL's "COME FROM" control flow.
Can one be a rationalist and still believe that, “the universe if fucking lit” and marvel at how wonderful it is? I believe being rational allows one to really experience the depth and breadth of the place we are in.

Bleak utilitarianism is why so many reject applying themselves to a deeper understanding of the world, willfully ignorant in a way to manufacture wonder via a lack of comprehension.

It starts early, with the sexist trope of Eve plucking an Apple from the tree of knowledge and getting us kicked out of the garden eden. Bullshit.

I agree with the OP, the trip is the point. Travel, see the universe.
I stopped paying _a lot_ of attention to new C# features a few versions ago. While I like other syntaxes too (Python flexibility is really enjoyable), once my mind switches to "C# mode" I don't miss any other thing from more dynamic languages, at all.

I feel that recent "features" are more in the "things I can do with a preprocessor or a code generator" than real language enhancements.

Of course, I can be (and I'm probably) extremely wrong, but I find that release pace exhausting and I see a lot of great software written without resorting to new "features".

I mean Instagram’s purchase for a billion was when it had 13 employees

from what I can tell, a lot of people hire for the sake of hiring, like a local politician might boast about jobs for the sake of jobs, and people kind of have that ingrained mentality, like they can be a part of that “a job creator” and hope to court people that appreciate that, like old growth capital firms that need to see headcount as rationale for more capital

I've worked at 1k employee-sized companies. The CEOs definitely know what's happening, who shits on who, who's hired/fired, what each project is going through at a glance, etc. So I would attribute this 100% to either lying, incompetence and/or "faking" by trying to emulate a Steve Jobs/CEO persona.
I got OS/2 2.x when IBM sold it very cheaply one time (about 60 Deutschmarks, I think). But it came on soo many floppies and had such requirements that I never got around to install it. I used the floppies years after for warez, though…

Took OS/2 Warp on a CD for me to finally give it a try. If it would've been more stable on my system, it might have postponed my journey to Linux for a few years…

Are you asking what slack users are going to do? Or like, what are twitter users who arent as big as slack going to do?

Slack users should be using https://status.slack.com/ in any event.

The real problem with walled gardens is that people actively avoid going outside the wall. Who is actually not going to Slack's own status page when slack is down? People who would rather be wrong than inconvenienced.
Just had a fun with your golf game. Cool one!
You’ve actually taken the argument further than it can go.

Advertisers don’t pay Google by the number of products sold. They pay for Google to display ads. As long as the ads are displayed, the transaction is satisfied.

Advertisers don’t pay for customers’ direct purchases. They know that seeing an ad influences purchase decisions, even when the consumer is aware of the advertisement. You aren’t “stiffing” the advertisers by refusing to buy their product.

It’s really simple: Google can get revenue from advertisers or direct subscribers. Those are their paying customers.

People who block ads entirely don’t count as ad impressions and aren’t paying the subscription fee. They are the only non-revenue user.

You’ve got a right to block ads but Google has the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason. Nobody on either is committing a crime.

The leeches want to complain about their poor user experience but Google gave you a paid no-ads option alongside an ad-supported product. I can’t figure out what alternative is reasonable.
That's what they get, but their agency probably bills them out at £50/h
I completely understand since I have a wife.

But we do not do a lot of micro transactions, so it still works.

Once it doesn't, I'm hoping that the cards and bank accounts we use the most will export the stuff into a format that GnuCash can use.
>I feel that recent "features" are more in the "things I can do with a preprocessor or a code generator" than real language enhancements.

Well, you can hack a lot with code gen, but thats not the way, imo.

But using your logic: are generics a feature? Since you could achieve almost identical results with code gen hacks
I'm not sure what you mean when you say: the vaccines did not prevent transmission. Getting a shot makes it less likely for the virus to reproduce in your body, so any aerosoles you emit will have fewer or no virus content, which is precisely how it helps reduce transmission, does it not?
I'm genuinely excited for this.
Photopea is great. It's like 80% of the original's functionality.

I don't need to edit vectors illustrations often but when I do I've found it painful. Will definitely turn to this when that happens. (Haven't used product but have blind confidence based on Photopea).
Tools wrongly used, mistakes carried up to top management, this is nothing new and not Excel-specific.

Suppose to. But USA isn't exactly practicising free market. Coming back from doing business in China, their market is truly competitive and free as long as you factor out some specific "Government guanxi thing" and "central government policy" (e.g. clamping down on private tuition and enrichment classes). Their EVs have no restriction like in USA where Tesla cannot sell in some region because of existing car dealership. Insurance too are consider "costless" to high risk group and must never deny pre-existing. All this extra government intervention in USA really not helping "free market". In USA the last 3 presidents, things get so anti-competitive and almost like centralized planning to some extend (solyndra) especially Bush-Obama time. The only unrestricted "free market" now is people. You see that Cali moving to Texas over the last decade. Expect similar things to happen to Florida as well in this decade.
It just makes twitter look like a dead website tbh.

Let's be honest, unlike Snowden, Assange really come as an asshole, and that really undermined the public opinion.

I know the 'rape' bit was probably political, but he seems like the type of guy who would totally do that, and I think he actually did considering his lawyer responses. The fact that the woman brought it to court however, that's the point that is suspicious to me. A consequent fraction (at least 10% imho) of the male population could be condemned for the same stuff, dirty pigs. And the fact that it was a successful trial. My sister was actually raped by her employer, and advices from both the police and lawyers were "you can't bring that to court, it's a 'he said she said' situation, you should just make a report and 'hope another girl get raped'" (rough translation of what the 'helpful' policeman said).
Neither, it's someone who crafts ChatGPT prompts to get the desired output (and that seems to be what they call themselves, so not really derogatory).
If some people have some recommendations, my wife is asking me for an app to basically input our family expenses. It should be fast, painless and very simple. Open the app, select the date (default today), select the category, the shop, amount and payment method. Done. Both of us should be able to input the data (so web based).

At the start, nothing more in the app. She would be happy to do the data analysis using her laptop.

I was thinking about a stupid CRUD app with an SQLite database, but I do not want to reinvent the wheel.

If some of you have ideas, we do not need banking integration.
If it’s a programming language, then its users are programmers. Just like with javascript or c, some of those programmers are more skilled than others.
It would be cool to have a filter input when you're looking for command/patterns/punctuation that's auto-focused and part of a form, so that you can just click -> type -> enter to fetch the command you're after instead of having to scroll through your whole sorted list and recite the alphabet in your head.
Twitter profile pages showed all Tweets linearly from inception until about 9 months into Naughty Old Mr Car's tenure; he can absolutely be blamed for that.

The algorithmic stuff was only ever for users' feeds, not Twitter profiles.
You can probably get a pretty efficient AST-style interpreter if you spit out a pile of very specialized closures calling each other.

I saw that somewhere before, let me see if I can find it.

As someone that has spent far too much time in JS world any time I’m able to ditch a preprocessor or code generator is a a great relief. I want my build processes to be as simple and straightforward as they can possibly be.

Exactly. Supposedly there already is a clear and distinct line where officers are supposed to go into action and that is the law.

In all fairness a visitor now, who sees random old tweets, will assume the status tweet page is unmaintained and useless.
The latter possibility connects closely to TFA, because if we have `^` notation, it can magically check for a typed nil.
I store the .gnucash file in git, and after editing things in Gnucash I run a script that exports[0] it to a hledger file in the same directory and commits both. So `git show` gives me a readable view of what changed, but the accounts are still usable by non-nerds.

Ask HN: Does GitHub Copilot stop working on VSCode for you sometimes?
I just noticed yesterday that I had opened a few too many projects in my VSCode (7 to be exact) and then Github Copilot stopped auto completion, suggestions, everything.

When I removed 5 of those projects from VSCode, it started generating suggestions, etc immediately.

Tbf I was using a powerful Macbook Pro with M1 chip and 16 GB RAM.
> People have no idea. The number of decisions taken higher up the chain based on wrong numbers are beyond belief.

Yup. That's a lesson in how robust organizational systems are - the errors mostly get compensated for somewhere downstream, so visibly bad outcomes are rare.

> If you've ever been tasked to rewrite a semi-advanced Excel spreadsheet to a dedicated (web)app, you know.

Yeah, I know. I've worked in a place that tried and failed to beat an Excel plugin with a web app.

The thing is, in my experience, you'll have a team spend two years doing the rewrite - with a lot of that going into designing and then building complex web frontend using modern tech stack - and in the end, you'll get a dedicated application that has less functionality and worse ergonomics than the spreadsheet you tried to replace.

The timeframes and costs involved with getting a Proper Software Development Team to build you a Proper App For That are absurd, and are only getting worse with everyone wanting to do bespoke web SPAs using modern practices and tool stacks. Even if one could afford that, the outcome is unlikely to be better for actual users. And so Excel stays, covering for all the processes that are custom enough that there is no ready-made popular Enterprise SaaS on the market that management can order people to use instead.
Oh, yep, I know they've been doing it for a while, but I'm unclear on whether it's actually _intentional_; it could be a really stupid product decision, or just more brokenness.
Then they should have started easing off spending "6-8 weeks ago" if not sooner. Cancel contracts, stop dev projects, get rid of non essential personel, sell off unused assets, maybe even start laying off people, etc.
What most people do is use one of these hot peppers in a batch of milder sauce. Maybe you like the flavor of jalapeños when making a sauce for eggs, but it's not that spicy - just add 1 or 2 reapers to it.

I happened to grow reapers this year since some of my seeds were too old to germinate for my Tabasco peppers. I made some reaper sauce with just a little vinegar and salt. It's really not that bad if you dilute it. Even if you put 3-5 drops in a bowl of soup you still get some reaper flavor with the heat. I probably won't grow them again as my preference is for a stronger flavor to burn ratio. But I can see how people with a higher tolerance love them.

Former EMT here.

The paramedics/doctors I used to work with would administer ketamine from time to time, but they would always pair it with this other drug (maybe midazolam? I don’t quite remember), for the sole purpose of preventing hallucinations.

They made it very clear that the only reason for this mix was that ketamine hallucinations of that dose are often violent or sexual or both, and you don’t want to deal with those kind of allegations.

I personally tried low dose pure ketamine (intramuscular) and it was quite pleasant.

The issue is that it is at the end of a list of login options and looks similar to them. Why would I read the login options when I have no interest in logging in?

One solution that comes to mind would be a modal with two columns. One column for the login options and the other for the just play button.
You wouldn’t ski a double black diamond without getting good, you need practice in the partaking of drugs. Drugs themselves aren’t the point, the experience is.

Superhots also produce capsaicin in the fruit, unique from non-superhots. Removing the pith from a ghost, reaper, etc., will significantly reduce the heat but still contain a lot of capsaicin from vesicles present in the fruit itself.

> Doing honest work seems like an improvement, even if they concealed their origins.

Sure better than ransomware but this is terrible news for anyone else doing contracting with external clients.

This in addition to all those impersonation scams will force remote contracting work further and further into a low-trust economy mindset where everyone checks everything. Which obviously adds friction and makes it overall a lot less enjoyable.

Still, two things bother me:

Wasn’t there a way for Sweden to promise him not to extradite him to the US?

I’ve heard he wasn’t even heard by Swedish justice, even though he offered to be heard remotely (from England), and such a thing was done in similar cases.

Solving one or the other would have showed with much more certainty whether he was actually trying to flee the sexual charges or not. Though perhaps the Swedish prosecutor just wanted to maximise the chances of having him in Swedish custody.
Also by US intelligence.
