I thought the pinnacle of this was the hooded wiregates, but I guess those are hard to manufacture cheaply, so they've become hard to find. I was planning to replace all of my old wiregates with BD Hoodwires, and then suddenly you couldn't find them anymore.
Well, some sort of log, be it paper or a text file of whatever works for you.

Keeping track of the decisions you make, both to do things and to NOT DO THINGS (and why) is almost a superpower. You can save so much time when you come up with a 'new but vaguely familiar' idea by being able to check back through your notes and see what you came up with last time it occurred to you. Maybe circumstances changed, maybe they haven't, but you can bring yourself back up to speed on what you've done previously with little effort.

Not quite... I'm a fan of Deno myself and have been using it as a shell scripting language for a lot of things. That said, Bun has had some different points of focus, some better imo, some worse.

One thing Bun did, that I wish Deno had was a built in API for Sqlite databases. Deno has had the library in the runtime for a while, but has resisted exposing it directly. While I get the reasons, it would help with security integration over the other options IMO.

I think integrating SQLite (libsql) and even Tuirso/AstroDB (libsql-server) support in the box could really be a boost to app development productivity myself. While the latter would be more difficult in self-hosted scenarios.
What you described is exactly what happened to my old Google DNS account. I had a credit card issue so they locked me out of my account, but when the issue was resolved on my end, kept charging my card. They told me the exact same thing, log into your account and contact customer service. Luckily, I did not use the domain anymore, or I would have had absolutely no way to maintain it. I ended up cancelling the card and getting a bunch of vaguely threatening emails about it.

They aren't this incompetent, I am convinced it is malicious.
I'm not trying to deny there are plenty of barriers for disabled people in society, and we should certainly try to reduce them... but I think even in an ideal society, being, for example, blind, or deaf, would still be very difficult. I think pretending that it's all about how society reacts to us is ignoring the reality of disabled people's lives.

(I'm disabled myself, in case it matters)
Not everything is online.

If you’re operating critical infrastructure like a sewage treatment plant sometimes you just want stuff to work as long as possible without messing with it.
I've seen cases where an AWS support bill was basically serving as a part time engineer for a small team. They really are very, very good, especially enterprise support plans. This alone and what I've experienced from Google support means I would never take my business into google's cloud. No shot. AWS seems to understand pretty well their customers and their needs and it is a competitive advantage.
I've been using Post-Its along the bottom of my monitor for 25 years. Works fairly well as they are always right there in front of your face, and if one loses it's stick, well, you know that's the one to focus on or move it to long-term.

This of course only works at a desk. I've never done work on a laptop so my system is very YMMV.
I’m a solo dev. At a high level, I find that just writing down what I’m trying to achieve and referring to it often is critical. The most important things to understand are what you’re building, who your users are, and when you want to launch. Use this as a razor to determine what features to add/remove. This should not be complex - one sentence each! Try to make all decisions through this lens. Revise the lens as you learn more.

In terms of managing the day to do, my project has 4 or 5 modules and each has its own TODO and README in markdown. The README is where I explore the design and the TODO is obvious.

You don’t need fancy tools, what you need is a vision that pulls you along.
> and Russia slid into second place

I also struggled there, perhaps that's the wording for Russia doing some flagpoling without claiming 1st place at any point of time.

There's three awfully huge flag poles in St. Petersburg erected last year, perhaps these are the culprits of that sentence. For the curious, these exhibit Emperors' flag, Soviet hammer-sickled and Russian tricolor.
We'll see what the next 100 years or history brings. The nuclear war threat hasn't gone away either. There's always a chance those nukes get used at some point.
If you find out that parents have no form of daycare, and are taking care of their child while doing their remote job they should be fired, end of story.

As a parent, taking care of a child is itself a full time job. Your friend is either an idiot or was banking on his work being stupid enough to let it slide.
Donald Sutherland as "Hawkeye Pierce" in M.A.S.H. made such an impression on when I saw this movie on its release as a very young teenager. I've pretty much never got along with authority since.

What exactly is easier about auditing profits, when they are the difference between a claimed number (income) and another claimed number (expenses), whereas sales tax is literally printed on receipts?

Thats why you hear about megacorps paying $0 in (profit) tax, but you never hear about anyone "dodging" sales tax.
A few times I tried eating only steamed white potatoes for a few days, it appealed to my all-or-nothing mentality (and desire to reduce mental overhead in choosing what to eat).
Inspired by this https://potatohack.com
It was about eight years ago. I didn't get tired of potatoes. It was cheap. If I remember correctly I spiced things up by making chicken broth into gravy by mixing in potato starch.
Dismissing uncomfortable things becomes so much easier when you can make up an alternate explanation (without any knowledge of the details) and declare them both equally likely.
You are right, this is what I did in my first version, but it failed terribly due to context length issues and the fact that SPA applications work by loading JS code, etc.

Currently, for the backend, tools like Nmap, Dirsearch, ZAP, etc., are employed. When a user asks specific queries like 'Check all open ports in my web app,' 'Check security headers of my app,' or simply 'Find all vulnerabilities in my web app,' it writes commands for the above tools, executes them, and provides the answer. This mix-and-match of tools using simple words allows users to create custom workflows that may run weekly, monthly, or fortnightly.
I think there's a big difference between a HN startup not being upfront about their simple pricing, hiding it behind the "Start for Free!" anti-pattern, and an established B2B SaaS with a "Request a Quote" flow. One is deceptive, the other is a necessary barrier in doing certain kinds of business
Makes one a little hesitant on how well alignment can work with AIs.
It obviously depends on the society. Theatres run or subsidized by a state or a city are common. In many countries, supporting national culture is seen as one of the key functions of the government. Most people in those countries agree with that, and even those who don't generally understand that they are in the minority.
Nope. Been adblocking on iOS in Brave since iOS.. 14? Maybe 13 or 15.

> Not sure about that, plane-launched FABs are creating havoc on the Ukrainian front-lines.

The Patriots aren’t on the front lines, and weren’t allowed to even shoot at the planes lobbing bombs from Russian airspace until just recently.

Attempts to knock them out have failed. The same is not true for the Russian equivalents deep in Crimea.

The idea of the US Navy as a “fleet in being” is simply absurd at the present time.
X-CMD design philosophy is all about freedom to choose.

Take genact as example (see: https://www.x-cmd.com/install/genact).

1. X-cmd aggregates all known installation methods, sourced from the community and official documentation ( including apt, dnf, ... curl), and presents them in an interactive list.

2. It is the decision for the user to CHOOSE the installation method that best suits the situation. Whether it's apt, dnf, or any other method, x-cmd always puts user in control.

As a former operation engineer, I often encountered situations where installing a simple tool, like jq, on a client's server required unnecessary sudo privileges. Even worse, some software installations demanded extensive dependency upgrades, potentially destabilizing the entire system.
To address this, I developed x-cmd/pkg, a tool management system that prioritizes portable tools.

This approach eliminates the need for the unecessary privileged access and minimizes the impact on the original system.

X-cmd also offers other methods for installing portable software from the community: like asdf, cosmo. It is all user's decision.

About the LLM, there won't be a code to eval without user's confirmation.
X-CMD won't be a powerful framework like Langchain; it's just a simple command-line interface (CLI) that uses CURL.

Large language models (LLMs) may be used to generate commands, but no code will be executed without explicit user confirmation. User safety and control are top priorities.

We prioritize transparency by open-sourcing our code and providing best-effort documentation and demo.

When operating in the field, you're not executing opaque binary code, but rather human-readable POSIX shell scripts. This allows you to fully understand the actions being performed when necessary.

The concept is this: When you're donating reasonably large amounts of money to charity (a church in this case) you can deduct that amount from your taxable income while simultaneously supporting an organization that you like (your church) If that feature goes away, and now you have to pay tithing on top of paying taxes at your full income tax bracket rather than a reduced bracket, are you still willing to pay your tithing?
Open-Source SurrealDB is helping developers consolidate their databases
Offer him a reduced sentence on a sliding scale based on the number of people he implicates. Surely, there are individuals currently facing prison time for perjury, perverting the course of justice, misrepresenting facts in a criminal inquiry, misrepresentation of public records, misuse of public funds, fraud, and any other charges that can be brought against them. Seize all these individuals' pay, pensions, and assets dating back to 1998 to cover the costs of prosecutions, legal fees, and compensation for the sub-postmasters and mistresses.
This is highly unexpected. I use other Amazon services and their support is crap.

Why is aws different? Is it earning them so much money they find the support to be worth doing?

There’s got to be arrests and prison time before the year is out. People need to start putting their heads between their knees and praying or kissing their arse good bye.

In some sense, this could be retitled "We no longer use training wheels on our bikes"
You can start with the same tools you would use on a team, and tune for your needs, just like a team leader might do for a team.

For example, for one early startup, while I was the only engineer, and operating in a somewhat reactive mode, I used GitLab Issues to track tasks, and their Structured Labels and Board view to give a modified Kanban-ish view.

For a different solo-engineering project, which nevertheless had lots of interdependencies, and needed some estimating, I used a Gantt-based tool (unfortunately not integrated with GitLab Issues, though it really-really should've been).

That's the tools part. What you might be missing is the social part. If that's bothering you, maybe find a way to get some human accountability, team feedback, etc., even if you're the only engineer. (I'm pretty self-motivated, but I'd do things like show the biz people milestones, achievements, funny or cool things, etc.)

Lots of the daycares and preschools shut down during COVID. It was a shitty time and not exactly comparable to normal remote work for a lot of reasons.

Your friend, however, is an idiot. I know lots of people who have worked remotely for 10+ years, and none of them tried to work their job while taking care of a 3 year old - except maybe during COVID (because it was either that or quit).
What audacity to try and pull a move like this so publicly. It's incredible that there are people so stupid as to think they can just get away with anything.

With this sort of thing you'd typically wrap the underlying IPC channel in a system thread and redirect messages to/from it within the local process via an async channel.

The dedicated system thread for the channel means the local process will never block on the incoming IPC events and the redirected messages will be buffered/enqueded as determined by the async runtime.

For reference, I wrote a utility that wraps an IPC library and exposes an async and sync API: https://github.com/alshdavid/ipc-channel-adapter
Cool, may start using that over shared, but may just use "!lib" I tend to use "!" in the beginning of directories I want elevated... in any case, thanks.
> We’re talking about hospitals. Many areas are served by one local hospital. And where there are several, it’s typically the ambulance who decides where you go. It’s also pretty difficult to compare one hospital with another.

Paramedic here. It's typically, effectively, your insurance that dictates how we decide where you go.

If you're an acute, time-sensitive patient, then from a multitude of angles, "closest appropriate facility" makes sense.

Perhaps you dislike a hospital, or it's inconvenient, and you're not as acute or timely a patient, and your view is "I want to go to X hospital, and since I'm paying, why shouldn't I get to choose?"

As a paramedic, personally, I don't care.

However.

Your insurance does. And their perspective (sometimes rightly, and quite regularly wrongly) is that if you are well enough to bypass a hospital or multiple hospitals en route to a "chosen" facility, then did you need the ambulance? And if you didn't need it, why are "they" paying for it? And they can, and absolutely will, kick bills back to the ambulance company with a "please justify why an EMS transport was required versus advising POV (privately owned vehicle) transport or physician followup".

What they want to see happen, and what generally is actually the better option, as a provider is "we will go to the closest facility where they will assess and stabilize you as needed. if you then wish to be -transferred- to your facility of choice, they will organize that" (and, since the insurance criteria and questions are met, and a physician ordered the EMS transport, you should be covered). Though it is certainly less "convenient" for you.

Even beyond that, the area I'm in we have two hospitals. One is a Level 2 Trauma Center, one is a Level 3, but they're mostly comparable except for, well, acute trauma. We as providers will have a solid perspective of patient load in the ED of those hospitals, so I might ASK, not TELL you, hey, we might want to go to Hospital B, not A. And occasionally, though diversion is a convenience, not a concept under EMTALA (we can still absolutely show up at the ED with a patient even if they're "on divert"), some of the facilities here will round-robin to balance patient loads.

(Also, don't start me on Certificates of Need, where new hospitals essentially have to get the permission of existing hospitals in the area before they can open - essentially, "will you be okay if we take patients away from you"...)
What's the difference? I thought "agents" was just a fancier word for sequential prompts.
Your link suggests this is largely to remove red tape while working in Russia. It does not answer how many are settling long-term. There is of course also this little complication:

The Nancy Grace Roman telescope is a replacement in most respects, though it doesn't have the deep UV capabilities (HST could go down to 115 nm, Roman goes down to 480 nm). Not sure why UV isn't as important to newer telescopes, but if it was as critical to have high-spatial-resolution UV measurements, they'd probably have flown one in addition to Webb and Roman.

I will agree in the totality. You can't automated away 100% of customer support, just like you can't automated away 100% of most human tasks.

You can automated away 90%+, and get most users answers faster than trying to staff enough humans in enough timezones.

If you don't believe that.....I'm gonna say it, you've never run a customer support function.
The post explicitly mentions it works because they invested a lot into internal tooling.

Commerce Department Prohibits Russian Kaspersky Software for U.S. Customers
the US Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) announced a Final Determination prohibiting Kaspersky Lab, Inc. (as well as its affiliates, subsidiaries, and parent companies), from directly or indirectly providing anti-virus software and cybersecurity products or services in the United States or to U.S. persons.

Kaspersky will generally no longer be able to, among other activities, sell its software within the United States or provide updates to software already in use.

The Determination allows Kaspersky to continue certain operations in the US—including providing anti-virus signature updates and codebase updates—only until 12:00AM EDT September 29, 2024.

Having non-profits pay property taxes — similarly to how they pay employer taxes — seems like a good step. Property taxes are in part a fee for benefits which non-profits receive.
