I upvote almost any post "in Rust" here (yeah that's me) but this story went bit too far. It was just one job posting and so many sites acts like MS is going to ditch C#.
We can agree that the article is sensationalist and not particularly interesting. I personally don't get hung up on that because it's what I expect. Just like I'm not shocked when a used car dealer describes a vehicle in unscrupulous terms. It's what I expect because it aligns with their incentive structure.

But note that you did your own editorializing by using the word "marginally." You've staked a claim that the recall is insignificant. But that view is in direct conflict with the regulators, and it's their opinion that matters.

Thinking more on this, I have a group of friends who partake in these types of deals. They are arguably a leading indicator of business models that are going to fail. Why? Because they will cycle through every single deal and never sign up.

Every single one of them cycled through all the meal kit trial discounts during the ZIRP era, without ever signing up for one (it's free food dude). If you think I am kidding, go google "Blue Apron competitors".. there's so many more than I even remember.

If the startups they were hustling were public companies, they'd be an incredible indicator of stocks to short.. alas.
Pro-tip: don't buy your UPS online, buy at a local store with a reasonable return policy (e.g. CostCo).

I have had duds across three major brands (e.g. die within a year), and not having to ship the product back to the OEM will save you time and money.
This is just so stupidly wasteful. I understand that people like bitcoin because it made them a bunch of money via ponzi economics and allows them to circumvent financial regulations and law enforcement. But its just so stupidly wasteful.
Also you can't operate e.g. a dishwasher with kitchen gloves now, as those silly touchscreens won't cooperate. Few brands know how to keep it simple. Even Miele and Liebherr are falling into these absurd trends.
And without open door alarms, food would sometimes get spoiled and cause waste.

Why are you fighting the guy over this feature? Everybody here is in agreement that network-connected fridges are not particularly useful but you're trying to make a point about open door alarms.
It's hard to compare housing styles and density when you only have a binary choice of "urban" and "rural". One form of "urban" areas could have extremely different costs per customer to service than the other. Think dense condos and townhouses versus every house with 1-3 people on nearly acre lots. Both are often considered "urban".

Another incredible category of attack is power analysis / power starvation attacks.

IIRC, a research group succeeded to extract the private key by power starving a server and analysis its power draw at the same time. OpenSSL had to implement some randomization to thwart it.

I opened my argument by stating that the justice system is broken due to decades of political inbreeding. That's not a verifiable fact, that's my opinion. You keep trying to drag me into semantic debates about the specifics of what the law are, when my argument has always been about what the law ought to be.

I'm confident that the law aligns with my notion of what the law "ought to be" in this case because the damage is so clear, with years of documented coverups. Whether I'm right or wrong on this is really besides the point.

If you insist on arguing in support of corporations being allowed to kill people with impunity, please don't waste my time with it.

Congratulations on shipping, the site looks great. I've been working on a desktop app in the same space (website health/administration). It's been a similarly long journey. I've found marketing to be an uphill battle. It's a crowded marketplace, which in many ways indicates a healthy ecosystem, but difficult to crack nonetheless. Having a focused audience (e.g. bloggers) will help there. If you ever want to discuss marketing or talk shop, definitely reach out (ben at hn-username dot com)... maybe we could both learn something.

If this good were “clearly” great for society, they wouldn’t have trouble forming a conglomerate towards achieving it. We can use the wealth that isn’t sponged up and locked away at the bottom of the sea for such initiatives.

Society has had enough of ostensibly singular “great persons” inflicting their idea of the greater good on the rest of us in exchange for love, respect, and money. The rest of us have to earn those three.
Yup, my names break up into two categories, each with a namespace: `wip/` and `deadend/`. deadend is my personal favorite. Every time I write some code that turns out to not work, instead of spamming undo until I get to a known good state, I do:

git commit -am “Dead-end: I tried doing X but that didn’t work out”
git branch deadend/tried-doing-x
git reset —-hard HEAD^

I like this because, fully half the time I end up needing to draw some elements from that dead-end if it turns out later to have seeds of the right approach in it.

`git branch <something-temporary>` is an absolutely fantastic workflow IMO, combined with committing early-and-often, it helps me decide on logical names for various snapshots of where I was when trying to solve a problem. When I hear people say “squashing is wrong” I can never understand what they’re on about: being able to make temporary semi-meaningful commits and branches on your way to the right answer to a problem, is an absolute godsend.

>I feel it'd just be better to address the problem space directly

Fair enough. Not everyone enjoys naked cosmopolitanism. I don't live in New York City for a reason (I did at one point), and I don't live in the downtown of the city I live closest to (also did at one point, where I watched it change into something else). There are aspects of a nation that go beyond mere economic data, and longing for those things to remain stable and constant is a normal feeling and belief. When people talk about immigration as a mechanism to "solve" some problem, those other aspects get glossed over, usually pejoratively by calling everyone who doesn't agree with mass immigration a "racist" or a "bigot". Talking about Japan is an evocative example because it's so culturally distant from the west in ways that are obvious and stark. Thinking it wise that it changes to echo the mishmash that the west is becoming, in order to make some numbers in a spreadsheet go up, is in my estimation the more extreme position to stake out than simply observing that perhaps not all uniqueness was created equal. There's also the housing problem, where, for some reason, people pretend that this is the one instance in which the laws of supply and demand do not apply and large numbers of immigrants don't have an impact on the cost of housing.

>The problem I'm inferring from your comment here would also seem to apply to families moving from Chicago to Boston.

People complain about this because where you are from is a signal about having skin in the game. It's why politicians advertise their family ties to the place they are running to represent. I don't live in Boston, and am not that familiar with Mayor Wu. Maybe she'll run the city into the ground, maybe she won't. But if she does, she can always just go back to Chicago.

I haven't commented on the ATMs, I was only replying to the question, not the statement that preceded it.

I have owned a retail shop. There are plenty of rules and regulations to worry about, and labor is a massive expense. At no point would I have been inclined to purchase equipment or pay for labor to track serial numbers on bills without a specific mandate to do so. No such mandate exists.
Boudin is just one example of the trend of progressive prosecutors all over the country. And Asians tend to be the victims of any reduction in law and order, because they are seen as easy targets by gangs and a large fraction of them live in areas where gangs operate.

If crime goes up in New York City, for example, the Bangladeshi is in Jamaica are going to be hit disproportionately hard.
Bummer you’d been downvoted for that. It sounds like quite the ambitious project that you’ve nearly got working. Cool!

I'm talking about a great front end developer experience.

Rails was crap. Spring * was crap. None of the back end frameworks came close to thinking in abstractions - code reusability was an afterthought at best.

Ask yourself, why was there never a Rails component library? Because Rails made abstraction difficult in the front end. Nobody did a good job here.

The difference in those days is that people had to present an actual coupon that they had gone to trouble of cutting out and keeping. The advent of search 'business-name voucher code' brought this to anyone and everyone.
The 32-bit ARMv7-M micro-controllers with Cortex-M4 or Cortex-M7 cores that are available for instance on $10 development boards from ST or from many other companies are conceptually simpler and easier to understand when programmed at the bare-metal level than the 8-bit computers of 40 to 50 years ago.

They are a much better target for teaching children about hardware.
There's a qualitative difference between the government being able to freeze the accounts of every person whose phone was detected at a protest, and the government having to send agents out to physically find each of those people, search them and their property, and seize their cash. The first is cheap and easy for the government to do on a large scale, and difficult for the protesters to block. The second is far more expensive for the government, and the protesters have more options to fight back—run, hide the cash, etc. Not to mention it will probably drum up sympathy for the oppressed.

And in the end, physically seizing cash & goods only takes away what the protesters have at the time—they can still go earn more cash to transact with, unless they are arrested. Someone whose accounts are frozen, and who is prevented from opening new accounts, and who can't use cash, is running out of options.
Quite possibly, yes. There's also the consideration that such an outage would likely be part of an even bigger problem.

Over here, like most of Europe, we're pretty safe from natural disasters aside from storms causing local power outages. There are no earthquakes, tsunamis or similarly destructive events. So a hypothetical situation where payments are down nationwide for a significant period of time would almost certainly be part of an even larger disaster where a lot of infrastructure is non-functional due to military attack or something akin to a complete crash of all computers.

First paragraph on the CEOs Wikipedia Page
There are smartphones (for various values of "smart" and "phone") which run Linux, and it's possible to install a limited but still quite-useful set of Linux tools on any Android device in the form of Termux (you'll need to side-load or install via F-Droid however). There are other further options on rooted and/or re-ROMed devices (though you'll need a compatible device in this case, which can be difficult to find and/or determine).

That said, yes, mainstream mobile devices do tend to constrain this choice. iOS has no rival to even Termux, and Android itself is an increasingly bastardised tool deadly intent on limiting the user.

Increasingly, my preferred option is to use a cellular/mobile device as a hotspot, and keep my principle tools on a separate device, if at all possible a full-fledged Linux system. Ultra-light notepad or laptop devices probabaly suit this best. A dedicated dumbphone (feature / flip phone) might also be of occasional use, though I've all but abandoned PSTN voice comms at this point for various concerns and considerations.

Show HN: BSON Extension for SQLite
sqlite is, well, everywhere. It's a little shy on high-fidelity types, though, esp no dates and penny-precise numbers. And carrying rich shapes in JSON doesn't really help because JSON lacks those too. BSON supports these types but more importantly is a data carrier external to the database; you can fluidly move BSON in and out of sqlite without creating your own binary representations; just use the BSON SDK for your environment. Upwards of 20 languages are supported. The BSON extension is designed to exploit sqlite built-in JSON functions as desired.
When one makes an agreement that if I set certain goals, and I achieve said goals, I will be compensated a certain amount.

If I choose to buy land, goods, services, the seller chooses the "value". If I agree on the value, I have free will to to purchase the land, goods or service. If I do not agree on the value, I can either offer a lower price, or walk away.

If I purchase said land, goods or service, and later decide that I no longer want those things, I can choose to sell them. At that point, I set a value. If the purchaser agrees on the value, I then sell/transfer ownership to that person. If the value has grown since I purchased said land, goods, service, I could potentially profit. If the value has not increased, I am at a loss.

So, to directly answer your question about "authority". (In my case, land that was owned, and worked, for 100 years in an area that no one wanted to live). A price for said land was agreed upon. The sale was advantageous for the seller as he no longer wanted to tend it. I assumed the risk, taxes, etc. Working said land was extremely arduous. Shepherding it through multiple hurricanes, floods, etc bore a financial burden. Many years later, as the area began to develop, my asset grew in value. Selling it produced a profit. This profit allowed me more ability to purchase other land, goods and services.

As I'm tying this, I'm certain you're aware of these basic economic principles, but simply don't agree with them. Disagreement is fine. But this is the way things are done in my country. And, I choose to live here because I agree with those principles. If I wanted to live in a country where an entity could come and confiscate my wealth, and redistribute it, those countries exist. I could likely move to one of them.
You joke but newer rails versions come with a front end framework named Turbo, and there's also a JS bundler named Turbo, so this is actually too close to reality

It may come off this way, but I'm 40 and my friends doing this are.. NOT poor. The same friends who did this in college are the ones doing it now at 40 despite owning LV bags, $1M homes, etc.

It's sort of a mindset difference between "I'm going to make as much money as possible" vs "I'm going to spend as little money as possible". Ideally someone can try to do both, but I've met near zero who meet that criteria.

Thanks for sharing this. I like what the author did, they pursued a goal and kept working at it, until they found a balancing point.

I think my experience in similar pursuits would have led me to stop very early on - 31.4 MB is already pretty good, to be fair. Looking at the amount of potential maintenance required in the future, for example if the original ugit tool starts to need more dependencies which then have to be wrangled and inspected, makes me think that the size I didn't reduce is worth the tradeoff. Since the dependencies can be managed with package managers, without having to think too much, and as the author says, Linux is pretty awesome about these things already.
