Not exactly. It was heavily inspired by Joda Time, but it also improved the design in a lot of ways. You could think of it as Joda Time if the designer could go back in time and design it again with all the hindsight.
I thought after you take estrogen long enough you don't have to take t blockers or fin anyway? Once your body see's you have enough sex hormone doesn't it naturally stop T, even if the hormone is estrogen? (Sorry for the stupid question)
with the way they handled the debian crashing a little while ago, frankly they are happy to still go ahead with testing this way. still much better way to handle things than pushing to everybody at the same time.
The ruling does not say anything about screen scraping or automation, and the verdict also holds if warm bodies in low cost countries were used.

What was ruled was that:

1. That Booking.com "intentionally directed, encouraged or induced Etraveli to access the myRyanair portion of Ryanair's website without authorization"

2. That "Etraveli recklessly caused Damage to a protected computer by way of such access to the myRyanair portion of Ryanair's website without authorization"

3. That "Etraveli caused both Damage to a protected computer and Loss by way of such access to the myRyanair portion of Ryanair's website without authorization"

4. That booking.com "knowingly and with intent to defraud, directed, encouraged, or induced a third party to access the myRyanair portion of Ryanair's website without authorization and by means of such conduct furthered the intended fraud and obtained something of value for booking.com"

5. That "the object of the fraud and the thing of value obtained by Booking.com [was] only the use of the myRyanair portion of Ryanir's website"
Jon Skeet is one of the two greatest of my software engineering heroes. The other one is Andrew Hejlsberg.

Just by reading some of his answers on SO, or by reading his C# in depth book, or his talks and blogs, I learned how you can think of scenarios where a design falls short, and to think of pros and cons rather than right and wrong. He has a clear mind on things, and a very direct style of writing.
There is also a recent study [0] that found efficacy of essential rosmary oil to be as effective as minoxidil with less side effects when used topicaly as a shampoo additive.

Yes, currently these are never deleted.

I will probably update it to delete accounts that have been inactive for a year or something.
This immediately disqualifies the person from having operator duties, imho.
Negative income tax (NIT) solves this. At this point, when anyone says UBI, I just substitute NIT in my head. It is really the only practical implementation of a UBI scheme.

Further, if a UBI-like program is funded with new taxes (or cuts to existing programs), it should have a negligible impact on inflation. It is only when you do deficit spending that you risk inflation.
Yeah, and why do people always add "in mice" after reading a fortune cookie? It makes their predictions seem so much less serious.
That's because people assume that research is done on humans, if the sample species is not specified. Wouldn't it be dishonest to exploit that assumption?
I guess affordable cars aren't the main point of Porsche.
That doesn’t affect the point of the article at all though. Timezones change, so if you’re storing a datetime of something that happens at a particular physical place, store it with that place’s timezone (not offset)

(EDIT And even eg scheduled video calls take place in physical places, so in practice future events of any kind are best stored in localtime with the relevant user’s timezone attached)
I’m sure some people do. Just simply because ppl do all sorts of things they shouldn’t do.
I think edits and changes of time were pretty well discussed (although certainly some details missing).

I did write:

> As long as you wipe well

If you leave that amount of fecal matter on your arse, then obviously it will smell bad and be unhygienic. My pants usually don't smell at all at the end of the day when I go shower.

> Over years, how much of it is accruing on your office chair? The fabric of your sofa?

Probably nothing or very close to it. There's usually 2 layers of fabric between the tiny amount left and the chair or sofa.

TMy office chair of 10 years that I recently replaced because it broke had a discolouration on the headrest from smearing my head on it. The seat was pretty much pristine. My sofa doesn't smell at all after many years of use and has no weird colours.
Any backup software that utilizes LVM in this way?

Ie automatically creates a snapshot and sends the incremental changes since previous snapshot to a backup destination like a NAS or S3 blob storage.
We want to ensure that the users are able to restore to any minute in the past.

Then, as @pintxo, @bjornsing, and @Doxin asked below; Why not let users pick a time and then replay the closest backup? Why create empty backups? This is a valid question.

The answer is that without an empty backup, it's not possible to confirm there was no write activity. Maybe some write activity occurred but you fail to archive the WAL file. You need at least one WAL file (empty or not) with a timestamp equal to or more recent than the target restore time to ensure there were no write activity.

I didn't explain this in detail in the blog post for the sake of brevity, but you don't need to create an empty WAL file for each minute with no write activity. For instance, if there was no write activity for 10 minutes and then a WAL file is generated, PostgreSQL can deduce there was no write activity during those 10 minutes and is able restore to any minute within that period. However, if the user wants to restore to 5 minutes ago and there has been no write activity for the past 10 minutes, PostgreSQL doesn't have a WAL file to confirm lack of write activity. In this case, you need to call pg_current_xact_id() to generate a WAL file. So the trick is, when you get a restore request, call pg_current_xact_id() only once, just in case if there were no write activity.

This is a good example of difference between running PostgreSQL for yourself vs. others. When running PostgreSQL for yourself, such edge cases is not a concern. However, when managing it for others, an edge case like this could prevent a restore and create an operational burden. Automating this process is required especially if you are managing lots of PostgreSQL databases.
Yeah, you're right. Just a hosted inbox alone would be hard to differentiate in the market and I have no answer for that. For hosted email with auxiliary services there is room to carve out a market. At least that's where I see some value. As for being better: It really doesn't have to be. It just has to appeal to a different audience. I think non-VC funded SMBs that don't have Silicon Valley funds to spend on a dozen different per-seat products is a pretty big market.

What I am thinking doesn't have to compete with the whole Office or Google Docs suite, or HubSpot. There is imo enough value in being an economic all-in-one email solution for "the rest of us". Point DNS there, get email, CRM, maybe even a small transactional mail quota and some marketing email features.

I have two projects I would onboard yesterday if this existed, and I have spent more than a hot minute thinking about going for it myself, just to scratch my own itch. The main reason so far that I haven't is that Migadu + Resend is enough for my needs at this time, and I can do without CRM for now.
Not only that, but Australia has about as much population as Romania (26 vs 20 million)

Are there other pressing problems with derailing that need to be dealt with?
Yes. :) We quite like k8s-based managed Postgres solutions. In fact, we convinced Patroni's author to come work with us in a previous gig at Microsoft. We find that a good number of companies successfully use k8s to manage Postgres for themselves.

In this blog post, we wanted to focus on running Postgres for others. AWS, Azure, and GCP's managed Postgres services, and those offered by startups like Crunchy, don't use k8s-based solutions. For us, one reason was operational simplicity. You can write a control plane for managed Postgres in 20K lines of code, including unit tests. This way, if anything breaks at scale, you can quickly figure out the issue without having to dive into dependencies.

We also understand different tradeoffs apply when you're running Postgres for yourself or for others. In this blog post, we wanted to focus on the latter scenario.
100% agree with you.

I have had a Linux-based DAW running in my studio, alongside the requisite MacOS and Windows machines, for decades now. It runs Ubuntu Studio, has superlative audio performance (72 channels of digital audio), and is a rock solid workhorse for doing large edits on tracks.

The key to it is in using Ubuntu Studio, which is a well-tuned distribution focused on superlative Audio performance, and to choose your hardware wisely. In my case, its all Presonus - because they have been Linux-friendly for a long time - and it easily delivers latency numbers that outperform even the Mac in the room.

How can you "botch" upgrades so many times?

I may have had only one update that went wrong in 30 years of using Linux and that was just a bug introduced by a gfx driver in a new minor kernel version. I downgraded it and waited for the bug to be fixed upstream and that was it.

The EU is protecting its citizens' privacy, as it should, and I find it immensely relieving that the EU has been making mostly sane decisions as far as privacy is concerned. It's not the EU's responsibility to figure out how make Meta's business model be profitable while respecting their users' privacy.

If you were to hand out $1k per month to everyone in a country that has vacant housing in places where there are no jobs, some people would move to and revitalize these places.
I had a Prius of that vintage; and as I recall, the onboard infotainment system could be upgraded (both for software and navigation data, IIRC), but it was a something you had to take it into a dealer and pay several hundred dollars for, and there was no proactive notification when there were updates available or what they addressed. I doubt they are still rolling out new updates (but maybe), but even if not it may be possible (though possibly not useful for your problem) to still get whatever the last one was.
ok, i was exaggerating, but this has happened, maybe less in western cultures but in places where women are more dependent on having a husband that supports them.

when someone with children tries to find a new partner, that partner needs to be clear from the first day that if this relationship is going to go forward, the children are part of the deal. if the potential partner is not willing to accept that, then that is a non-starter for any long term relationship.

a single parent should not have to spend a year dating someone before it is clear whether their partner is willing to contribute to parenting the children if that is what they are looking for.

if a person is misleading their partner about their intentions then yes, they are absolutely at fault. do not date someone with children if that is not the route you want to go.

in any relationship it is the responsibility of each person to support their partner with all their personal issues. that is the purpose of a relationship. unless we are talking about a casual relationship, like being friends.
This really needs to be investigated.

Over a certain threshold, all software companies seem to degenerate into sales companies.

Honestly, I'm just mildly shocked of the $23B valuation for a product that I'd expect to have taken waaay less than 1% of that in dev costs. What I'm more shocked is that Google decided they can't build the same thing themselves. Maybe I don't understand the complexity of the product?
Cows have incisors, should cows also eat real meat? Incisors are more for cutting than tearing, canines do the tearing but human canines are too short to effectively tear. Cows also have canines.

I would give cultivated meat a try but I don't see it becoming a staple of my diet. A hamburger sounds good about now.

Ointment on a festering wound applies much more to healthcare, which can't fix many problems associated with poverty, like stress, bad nutrition, bad housing and to livable wages, which don't help people who don't have a job, then to UBI.
My wish list:
1. iOS native sync, preferable without Active Sync. This includes syncing of read states.
2. Custom domains for families and small business without shelling out $10 per user and month.
3. A shared mailbox within the custom domain as „family“ contact mailbox. At least two people should be able to read it, possibly sync read states AND answer from that address, including sent mails need to be stored in this mailbox.
4. A very simple way to setup the accounts on different systems, especially iOS.

AFAIK, except 4 those are already solved, but not within one provider - without paying those mentioned $10/u/m.
I think you need to keep reading. Finasteride blocks the enzyme that converts testosterone to DHT, which initially raises your testosterone levels. Your body reacts to this by secreting less luteinizing hormone, which results in less testosterone production, and your test levels return pre-finasteride levels. This is the suppression of natural testosterone production, and is exactly the same reaction you’d get from directly taking exogenous testosterone. If you ever come off finasteride, your test levels will immediately drop, and may or may not ever return to normal. If you’ve been taking finasteride for a very long time, it would be unlikely for your testosterone levels to ever return to what they were pre-finasteride.
1. Do you use logical or physical replication for high availability? It seems like logical replication requires a lot of manual intervention, so I'd assume physical replication?
2. If that's the case, does that mean customers can't use logical replication for other use cases?

I'm asking because logical replication seems to become more and more common as a solution to automatically replicate data to external systems (another Postgres instance, Kafka, data warehousing, or offline sync systems in my case), but many cloud providers appear to not support it. Many others do (including AWS, GCP), so I'd also be interested in how they handle high availability.
I’d say a lot of the complexity comes from the fact that there are at least four things — Jack, PulseAudio, Pipewire and the ALSA userland stuff, which the article fails to mention — that try to solve more or less the same problems (probably less, in the case of the ALSA userland). Add to this the fact that everything can be, and often is, run as a compatibility layer on top of (or below) everything else, and the naïve user who just wants to get some music though the speakers can be excused for feeling a bit dizzy.
Ask HN: Why is there no email client based on Markdown?

Frankly no one wants to hire an engineer who highlights technical debt or a lack of tests without being asked for it. This kind of negative people is annoying and IMHO is indeed a reason why employers hesitate to employ older employees. Many are a pain in the... (and I say that as someone who's turning grey as well)

Most employers want to hire someone who actively improves things, someone who solves issues, and not someone who just complaints about them and makes demands.
Labor is the main part of the cost of most products. If AI could produce all these products without any human input, they would become drastically cheaper.
The difference is that there were 128MB quad-CPU Apollo DN10000 systems purchased, delivered, and installed at customer sites.

They were used for things like VLSI design and simulation, so a US$250000 system was actually worthwhile—especially since it and other Apollo systems could share their resources with each other on the local network.

Ask HN: How many failed side-projects you had before a successful one?
I am on my N-th attempt of making a side-project, after many years of failed or not-finished ones. Every time I get a motivation to do something, I convince myself that this time is different for some reason.
I would love to hear stories where it WAS actually different for you, and you succeeded (by your own definition of success)?
Interesting. I wonder what does a NoSQL one look like?

Being fat or skinny is under you control. Losing your hair (absent miracle cures) really isn't.
Sure, but the macro function is a normal function - it has inputs, outputs, and (preferably) should be pure. There's nothing special about the macro function itself, really.

You can see it explicitly in Common Lisp, where you can easily access and replace a macro-function with a custom one that you DEFUN yourself, like this.

CL-USER> (defun my-quote-fn (form env)
(declare (ignore env))
(destructuring-bind (operator &rest body) form
(assert (eq operator 'my-quote))
(list* 'quote body)))
MY-QUOTE-FN

It's a perfectly normal function, I can call it right away:

CL-USER> (my-quote-fn '(my-quote (+ 2 2)) nil)
'(+ 2 2)

I can also tell the compiler that this perfectly normal function is a macro function...

CL-USER> (setf (macro-function 'my-quote) #'my-quote-fn)
#<FUNCTION MY-QUOTE-FN>

...and the compiler will start using it to expand macros:

CL-USER> (macroexpand-1 '(my-quote (+ 2 2)))
'(+ 2 2)
T

What is special about macros, and what you describe as the "feature that cannot be implemented", is the language's ability to call that function at compilation time and feed its output back into the compiler. This is the link that is missing in most programming languages.
There is a huge amount of FUD about finasteride online. The adverse effects most guys worry about with finasteride are the same sorts of issues that can caused by anxiety. Finasteride can actually increase free testosterone by 10-15%. Additionally, it's possible to capture most of the therapeutic benefit at a lower dosage than 1mg/day, further reducing the side effect potential.
And that’s why it shouldn’t be in the Chrome app store at all.

As a hobbyist developer, having that kind of access in other people’s browsers is not something I want, and I’m suspicious of developers who do seem to want it. It’s like “hey, I wrote a fun game that requires root access.”

At least limit it to people who know what Github is.

I think you can either have a “corporate” blog attached to your name (whose purpose is to bolster your professional reputation, among other things) and an opinion-based blog with a pseudonym. The two can never touch.

An UBI that inflates prices doesn't leave everyone back to where they were before.

This is most obvious in the case of someone who doesn't have any money at all without UBI. This person can now buy things, and before they weren't able to buy anything.

Depending on how much money people make pre-UBI, there's a point where the inflation costs them more then they get.
