The daily data refresh is interesting. I expect GPs will start pointing their agents at this for real-time reporting instead of waiting on quarterly statements.

I've always struggled with this, I usually use the first style. To me, Bark and Bark* are both types, while the name p_dog is just a name regardless of what it's referring to.

I read the first as 'a struct of type Bark pointer named p_dog'.

How do you read the second example in your head?

> If we were to start that ban many of Walmart's non-grocery (and some groceries) shelves would be empty for considerable time.

I always point out the price difference for the two models of the Purism Librem 5 phone. One model is manufactured traditionally and costs $749. The other model is manufactured in the USA and costs $1999.

Americans talk about bringing manufacturing back to the country, but I'm not sure anyone is ready to pay 2-3x for their goods.

I don't consider anything that's pay-walled to be high quality. If I can't read it, it has no value to me.

You're completely right.

> Sen. Elizabeth Warren, whose incisive and relentless questioning led to the resignations of not one but two Wells Fargo CEOs in connection with the scam, was not impressed with the announcement.

> Warren has been fighting Wells Fargo’s misdeeds for more than a decade

> Last month, banking regulators reported that John Stumpf—Sloan’s predecessor, whose nose Warren bloodied so effectively back in 2016

> A picture captioned "Sen. Elizabeth Warren questions Wells Fargo CEO John Stumpf"

> After Sen. Elizabeth Warren mopped the floor with onetime Wells Fargo CEO John Stumpf

> Sen. Warren demanded answers from the bank

> Warren’s popularity grew in no small part because of the effectiveness and vim with which she socked it to Sloan in October 2017

I found Progressive to be half the cost of Geico.

This looks really cool, thanks for sharing!

I used i3 for a while and really enjoyed it. Though, I eventually switched back to KDE. I didn't like having to fiddle with power management and configuring screen locking.

I was noticing that I was only using 1-2 tiles at a time and I could easily emulate that by just side-by-siding windows in KDE.

I think if I ever have the chance to use a Linux machine professionally, especially with multiple monitors, I'll definitely reach for i3 again.

That would mean that you sometimes hear things in your head, but you have no control over what you hear?

I applied and interviewed for an Angular position a few years ago. I was interviewed by a consultant doing work for the company while they built up their engineering team. He absolutely grilled me about .NET intricacies, including some of my favorites, "Where is the .NET GAC stored on the filesystem?" and "Why is n-tier better than MVC?".

Not surprising, they declined to move forward citing my inexperience working with .NET enterprise architecture. I could have told you them that from beginning and saved everyone a few hours.

Yep, I wanted to create a systemd timer to run my nightly backups.

I was pretty shocked that I needed to have three files. My backup script, a systemd service to call the backup script, and a systemd timer to call my systemd service that calls my backup script.

It took A LOT of fiddling and reading the Arch wiki before I had everything working as I wanted it to.

Mozilla has not released their annual report for 2019, yet.

We can call it "fact checking"!

"Sysadmins? No, we just have devops now!"

I love my off-brand filter I bought from St. Paul Mercantile.

I don't see the need to pay for a brand and logo on the filter.

I think you commented on the wrong post.

I've heard that an HTTP 451 is for when a country prohibits your service in their country. Like, if you wanted to access a VPN providers website in a country where they cannot do business, the provider would return a 451 to indicate they are not allowed to serve your request.

Have there been other cases where government seized websites return a 451?

I think it's interesting they embed the image as base64. I guess a single file deployment is easier.

You can program anything without an OS.

Here's an article on writing C targeting bare-metal Raspberry Pi.

Why would someone want an IR camera?

I can't find any information online about why that would be useful.

I forgot that auto-update can upgrade the OS. Blocking those updates to prevent UI changes makes sense.

> Turned off auto–update on the Mac and iPhone/iPad.

Why? I would have done the opposite.

I never expected to see any cops browsing HN, pretty cool!

Especially now that Fidelity offers zero expense radio funds.

It's a lot easier to isolate myself than it is to solve homelessness.

Are bots now advanced enough that transcribing obscured text is no longer a viable solution?

There's dozens of simplistic captcha libraries that serve obscured text. I can would rather transcribe a few letters much than complete a Google Captcha, probably faster, too.

I agree, mini-HDMI seems like a strange choice. I had to buy an adapter for my Pi Zero and hate having to keep track of it.

I would be thrilled if USB-C became the ubiquitous connector.

If they can capture $1mm revenue from the website, then the $21k they paid for it is a great investment.

I recently switched from a Macbook Pro to a Thinkpad T470s running Arch Linux.

I switch between GNOME, KDE, and i3. I think GNOME and KDE are as pleasant, if not more so, than macOS.
