How would you handle export / import functionality?

I really like the inversion of block to allow I think it makes sense.

In my use-case I would allow different lists for different profiles

(on the other hand I have blacklisted domains that I block regardless of using work / private / family profiles)

Recently I've been working as a devops/release engineer specialising in mobile application deployments so I got fairly familiar with gradle and xctool internals.

I'm curious and would like to learn and earn challenges.

I have worked a lot in my local communities to create successful non-profit startup. A web radio and archive system; and a co-op management suite for a DIY community space. These are volunteer jobs so I would like to earn money beside so I won't burn out.

Note: It might be guessable but rather I would like to state, for me ethics is quite important when selecting workplace. This limits my potential jobs but I hope that there are good things on this board!

This manga is part of the variety art works series which transcribes (transdraws?) important literary works for younger japanese who might not have the understanding yet to read them in their orig. translation.

You can find a list of series here: https://myanimelist.net/people/21441/Variety_Art_Works

Edit: This is the same series that includes mein kampf and capital, both which have had many panels screenshotted you can find around the net circulating (f.e. if you'we ever met a mangaised Marx, or some weird collection of nazi's illustrated they are quite common tropes)

> There are simply a lot of people out there who can’t live alone without lots of help. To think otherwise is insanity.

> housing first simply doesn’t work, (...) implementation is much more complicated than that.

Thanks for sharing your experiences as well which helps understanding your position. However by your comment you seem to be arguing with yourself. I totally agree that they need support that's what I'm advocating for. You are the one in our discussion advocating against (or, at least, pointing out fairly hypothetical and broad-scoped reasons for possible failure) any advancement on giving that "lots of help" (eg. basic human decency). Surely you can't mean that leaving these poor people on the street, or moving them to an island for some zoning law schenanigans or just general sociopathic disregard (if they need it -- shouldn't they be consulted what is that they need?) looking through them or commenting here how giving them housing won't work, is a way towards giving them that?

Just for the fun of it you might try to imagine a situation where your home gets broken into you are robbed of your posessions, your sense of security but worse follows, a misinterpreted word on your interview with the kind insurance guy, or a mail never delivered makes them mark you suspicious and stall on paying you. You have no friends or ones you have are out of town, your parents can't pay for your accomodation, you spend a few nights at a hotel but then you might not have more cash, you are out of options and spend a few nights strolling or staring in a McDo, stressed out and tired. US has this stupid no-notice firing thing, so let's say after a week of no-show you get to charge your laptop to see you have been terminated. Now imagine how would you like others and the society to handle you and your situation. In one world you are now described as an addict, homeless person that might be unable to live alone on some webforums.

>Are they allowed to cook meth in the place they are given? What about renting it out so they can get some money to buy drugs? Do they have to ever clean it to avoid bug and rat infestations? What happens when their dealer comes to collect? And will neighbors tolerate a dramatic uptick in porch piracy and prowling needed to get money to buy those drugs?

Most of the comments here makes me incredibly upset and disgusted just by their nature of inhumane scape-goating and denigrating from a privileged position. But its not just that, I lost some hope that people here would be curious enough not to bring up these shitty panels. But these questions are especially wrong, not just by the attitude but also because it is totally irrelevant to homeless of Houston.

All these questions you ask apply to sheltered people with addiction, or sheltered people dealing to people with addiction, and mind you old people (elders, grandparents, who you might think much of and respect [rightly so!]) who can not take care of themselves anymore, as well.* Why would you need to differentiate let alone lump all of homeless people under the label of "addict." Some are addicts yes, however have you thought that this might be not the cause but the effect of their state? They are easy targets for blame, wouldn't you agree that it is intellectually quite an easy way out of interacting with part of our society? Why would you point fingers at those who lose for the whole slew of issues with how modern societies are priced and functioning? For me your comment comes off as an example of ignorant and narrow-minded attitude: assuming the worst and pointing out all the why-nots. I encourage you to study this issue and read upon it, just here for example on HN if you search for homelessness there is a nice study on how Finland provides for them. I hope you can develop some empathy towards these people who are behind the veneer of urban filth just the same as you or me or ancestors from 500 years ago.

Disclaimer: I have been homeless while sober and have been an addict while sheltered and working.

* As far as I know, the contract between old people and society is to move them to homes for the elderly. Which makes me think that while there is more love and money involved, the motives and solutions are the same to both problems

I am surprised slsk did not appear prominently in this discussion as alternative to share, own, collect lossless music. Is it due to its nature? It is certainly something of the past in terms of userbase but I can't imagine any of the services mentioned coming close to replacing bandcamp.

Yes, I highly recommend it. You can express your broadcast in a nice functional DSL. We are running a community radio and use it there in production for couple of years now.[0] (Ours linked is a very suboptimal solution but performs w/o any hiccup even though we got some pretty specific constraints.) We could've gotten many more mileage out of it, if we really would have had the time to focus on creating libs and functions for our specific needs as the API is really powerful, the docs are a good read. Also, on a more subjective note: It's developed by nice guys and even if some built-ins fail from time-to-time since there's no real rush to update we can help test w/ them & give some input on features.

I'd like to offer my point as Hungarian, and enthusiast of the history of Hungarian mathematics education, who heard lots of stories from math teacher grandparents.

This article is great read, well researched and quoted. Still, I think what it really misses to hit home and hammer down is the context and background where it all came from: the unbelievable greatness of the math education and math teachers of this country with streak going on over 100 years even though we might be at the end tail now (but still, great results still being achieved at the math olympics, if that is a metric that would matter to the reader: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38xeYPAUPd0).

So while the Martians are of course worthy of accolades since their (+ || -) contributions and their unique and sad background are much more exceptional than every one of their peers but they weren't just one off geniuses. They were a culmination of many things.

From year to year, like some american sports draft an unusually high output of great systems thinkers and numbermongers entered almost all fields of real sciences.

It all starts perhaps w/ Sipos Pal, Farkas Gyula, and the father Bolyai Farkas, figureheads of Hungarian sciences of the 19th century. They set down the basics of sciences education of Hungary with decades of hard work. They and their peers organised societies for math and physics and later started publishing KoMal math journal - mentioned in the article - in 1891 which is still active to this day) to be able to build out common curriculum integrating the advanced concepts of the time, Bolyai also traveled Europe went to Gottingen and befriended Gauss to start creating continental connections. The wider context always proved to be favorable except the abhorrent times of 2nd world war. But even then, these amazing people of course had to flee for their lives but during their childhood they were able to develop their crafts because first the Austro-Hungarian Empire then also the interwar "kingdom" needed to display intellectual sovereignty and then when socialism slided in, that regime was highly interested in praising the sciences instead of religion, and also did good by opening up universities and education in general for the women the poor the peasents. For the past 150 years, up until now this also meant that being sciences teacher in elementary or high-school were most respectable and lifelong vocations held in high regard in these societies. It's an incredibly delicate and complicated topic that I might not have the vocabulary to flesh out fully.

So to get back to the main poin, that the Martians weren't Martians in the context of the history of maths in Hungary. By the time the next generation grew up the flood gates have opened, here's a semi-random sampling sans Martians, starting from 1802 until 1960s, the main epicenters being Transylvania -> Budapest -> Szeged -> Budapest && Debrecen && Szeged, so it was really not just a locality in say 1 city:

son Bolyai Janos, Eotvos Lorand, Valyi Gyula, Konig Denes & brother Konig Gyorgy, Fejer Lipot, Szego Gabor, Riesz Frigyes & brother Marcell, Haar Alfred, Szokefalvy-nagy father & son (before the Martians these 4 were the first generation of widely famous Hungarian mathematicians, I believe), Szego Gabor, Egervary Jeno, Kerekjarto Bela, Lanczos Kornel, Rado Tibor, Nemenyi Pal, Redei Laszlo, Kalmar Laszlo, Janossy Lajos, the couple Szekeres Eszter and Gyorgy, Peter Rozsa, Hajos Gyorgy, the power couple Turan Pal and T. Sos Vera, Gallai Tibor, Fejes Toth Laszlo, Suranyi Janos, Bodo Zalan, Erdos' favourite pal Renyi Alfred, Fary Istvan, Lax Peter, Csaszar Akos, Hajnal Andras, Aczel Janos, Csakany Bela, Szemeredi Endre, Bollobas Bela, Lovasz Laszlo, Csirmaz Laszlo, Tusnady Gabor, Barany Imre, Babai Laszlo, Furedi Zoltan, Komjath Peter, Pach Janos, Stipsicz Andras

(Important to note that as in many fields these great scientists were also teaching, and many of the teachers below were also researching and publishing.)

My heart and admiration goes out to all these brilliant minds. It's all due to the opportunity to learn, which was made available through the works and sacrifices of great teachers:

Ratz Laszlo has been portrayed in the article but there are more:

Sutak Jozsef, Arany Daniel, Konig Gyula, Farago Andor & brother Laszlo, Bauer Mihaly, Jordan Karoly, Szele Tibor, Soos Paula, Varga Otto, Szasz Pal, Kunfalvi Rezso, Bakos Tibor, Szenassy Barna, Imrecze Zoltanne, Farkas Miklos, Rabai Imre, Posa Lajos, Pataki Janos, and the many unnamed dedicated and humane teachers who worked hard every day with every class.

(And not to forget Kulin Gyorgy, who founded amateur astronomy in Hungary and is the most important astronomy teacher and discoverer of our country.)

I wouldn't know this much if not for the collected writings of Vekerdi Laszlo, a great historian of maths educators and mathematicians of the country and Szenassy Barna who wrote a huge monography.

Unfortunately there aren't many good links in [EN] except for Wikipedia but I tried to extend on the part of the article that I think it is crucial for correct understanding and historical clarity. I wish I would have time to write a sentence or two about each of these names. I can't do that right now but there are some great books in English to read for those who are interested.

How odd but how great. It's a disaster and hard to quantify the loss caused by the fascistic decade or so.

And to the author, lastly: Thanks for spreading the word!

I can't answer you directly but perhaps this helps too.

I recently finished Summa Technologiae from Stanislaw Lem which does investigate a lot of these questions in many of its chapters.

I highly recommend it as it is a detailed, vivid exploration written by a very wise person so much so that it is easy to forget while reading that the book was published more than 50 years ago.

But there's also a practical reason why you might be interested in it even if you wouldn't think anything of a personal(?) recommendation from someone on the internet.

It is based on a lot of academic papers Lem read from all sorts of fields, which are all referenced (at least they were in the version I've read), so it should be easy to then start to look for more recent papers based on those.

One site, your question made me remember was a third party app for events, Heyevent.

http://heyevent.com/

Out of curiosity I just re-authorised them for access and was displayed the following message:

"We're sad to announce that due to dwindling traffic, expensive hosting costs, and new limitations of the Facebook API, we've decided to close down Heyevent. We're sad to have to do this, but we unfortunatelu we see no other option. Since the launch of Heyevent, Facebook themselves has added more event recommendation. They're not as good as Heyevent's recommendations, yet. Hopefully they'll get better. Thanks for using the service!"

I found it somewhat useful in the past to keep using facebook to a minimum, so I wish them the best.

There must be some other areas of data based servicing that experience difficulties that but I can't think of any other right now.

Neat, thanks it's very much appreciated. I did some digging and except from re-posted articles and CV builders it seems like there are not many tools to help with this.
