The problem with Wikimedia salaries is that they often are allocated to some projects / roles that don't have much to do with the principal activity (Wikipedia). Although I recognize that it is important to fund / subsidize stuff that won't otherwise be included, I wish their final goal was more concentrated on the wellbeing of Wikipedia, rather than other minor projects.

> a cultural value of exactly zero

I hope you recognise that this is only your opinion. The beauty about a crowd-sourced encyclopedia is that you don't get to define what other people find interesting or of cultural value. The (utopic) mission of Wikipedia is to encompass the whole human knowledge, and that includes a lot of niche topics which might be interesting only for a small amount of people, but it is not limited to that. I love that Wikipedia has a lot of info on "current" (i.e. popular right now) topics, as I get to know what I want to know avoiding the gazillion ads (even though I blackhole all of them) or click-baity titles from the rest of the internet.

yes but they do have a point. 'Written in Rust' adds nothing to the tool itself.

Edit: I see now. Thanks

Another idea to "force" US hand is to make it their problem in other ways. Dig it up, and threaten to leave it / break it on a place where currents flow towards continental United States.

Of course this should never be done, as it is some sort of eco-terrorism, but is one of the many ways the US can have their hands forced.

Edit: in case this is not clear, I am never advocating for something like this to happen. But it is always a stupid idea to leave potentially lethal and dangerous materials on the land of a place you've scarred and destroyed and which doesn't want it at all.

As far as I understand, buildings (walls, ceiling, roof, etc.) mostly get to A. A/2 is achieved with photovoltaic panels on the roof, and A/3 with also thermal solar.

maybe they should have just said they are the 'known' moons.

Not me, but the small CLI utilities form Michiel Borkent are pretty interesting:

Talking about synths, I can definitely recommend VCV Rack [0], an open-source virtual modular synth!

What I mostly love is that through plugins you can find virtual versions of existing hardware modules!

I want to pitch in to suggest the Book by Dragan Djuric [0]: Deep Learning for Programmers: An interactive Tutorial with CUDA, OpenCL, MKL-DNN, Java and Clojure"

Having it decrease by 3x is the same as dividing by 3...

I see mentioned a lot the problem with online shopping.. what about shipping and the other countless logistics problem with ordering stuff from Nigeria?

Italy as well, and other countries are following suit / will do.

As the other commenters said, I think you're very wrong.

My anecdotal experience with posting a Clojure job online (especially in the Clojurians slack) has been several decent applicants applying in matter of a few days.

Are you sure it wasn't cached? For us it was showing correctly the incident...

It seems to be up for me now in AMS.

What's more suprising is Italy 2nd place, which is a great thing. IMHO we need to transition our energy generation even more into solar, but also changing our habits to reflect that (do laundry during the day vs the night, cool down things during the day, etc.)

would you mind sharing it?

Thanks for teaching me about the fn trampoline, which I had never seen/used before!

Really cool project!

I doubt it. We already see that whenever somebody posts something stupid and controversial and is a public figure, they will claim they have been hacked and somebody else wrote the tweet.

Or Brave

There are quite a few OS projects saying that they will prioritize bugs that affect sponsor. And even here on HN it's not a rare comment 'If a company cares about it, they could pay somebody to fix the bug`.

Totally agree. Running your own gitlab runner is the feature of GitLab I would want the most on GitHub

In the Clojure community we have Clojurists Together [0] which is just a program that allows both companies and individual (at different prices) to contribute funding the development of Open Source projects. I think that model works quite well.

We've implemented it in a E-learning system used in some Dutch High-schools. A few talks we've given at the local Clojure Meetup:

- https://speakerdeck.com/helios/2

- https://speakerdeck.com/helios/event-sourcing-cqrs-and-scala...

Right now the system is running with ~800 million events, with roughly 1.5M added per day :)

Same for Re-frame in CLJS: https://github.com/Day8/re-frame

almost.. like trains?

In Italy my family used to get daily (multiple per day even) robocalls just a couple of years ago. So Europe is not a single reality, as always.

Now that I think of it, it mostly stopped. Could it be GDPR?

Exactly my experience. And not only about Databases.

At a previous job I was able to cut our infrastructure expenses by a lot (70%) by essentially have our infra being 1 load-balancer, 2 beefy application servers and 1 (+1 failover) PostgreSQL database. Each of the application server costs 300~ Euros p/m , 24 cores and 256GB of RAM. I have not experienced the same cost to perf ratio anywhere else.
