You're bashing it based on some assumption that it's being heralded as an amazing piece of tech. It's just a static binary. If you want to argue the merit of static binaries then, by all means. I personally love them, it's one of the reasons why I like Go so much. I'm sure there's a ton of people who like static binaries, and who dislike them.

There's nothing else to see here, you either like dependency-less binaries or not.

Hell, if anything, I don't see the point of your point, calling static binaries "real bullshit". Depending on the scenario static binaries are either better for you, or worse for you - it's just a tool in a bag of tools. How can that possibly be bullshit? Is a wrench bullshit?
In my company, in practice it means around 4 weeks with standard accrual. Had a coworker that wanted to go to Japan for 3 months, and the condition for approval was that the other 2 months would be unpaid sabbatical. IIRC, he ended getting part time pay for a some of that time due to on-call duties. I took my vacations in chunks and went a bit over by a few days. Vacation approval is at the discretion of the manager, and mine is pretty lax about accrual, as long as work is getting done overall. I hear in some teams, people need to be told to take _more_ vacations than they do (workaholic younguns, I guess).

The software stack is very relevant, Apple shops would have to retrain to go PC, and some of the software they have is sub optimal.

My wife is a designer, she needs much more powerful computers than I do (as just a developer). She constantly runs out of memory, GPU performance is very relevant for Photoshop, Illustrator, and other tools she uses in her work. So spending $2500 or $3000 for a high end (but not pro) imac is a given, even though I would be perfectly happy with the $1900 one.

For her, the advantage in productivity is worth it. I can imagine there are many people who would see the imac pro as being worth it to them also and the price isn't going to bother them much because their time is already very valuable.
https://stripe.com/works-with/categories/recurring-payments is a nice list.
I agree.

Works perfectly in a home office and saving $2500 is not a small thing.

Not all updates are critical.
As we speak, we are writing code to move from stripe to recurly/adyen.

The analytics/easy plan mgmt and email invoicing in recurly is something stripe doesn't have.

Would you advise against that ?
Well, I should have probably distinguished between IaaS ans PaaS, but primarily intended to differentiate between either of these and the GP's advocacy of on-prem or colo.

That is, I would advocate PaaS and IaaS over on-prem/colo, and how far you go towards PaaS is a matter of comfort.

I do think that comes down to control though, and I actually can't think of a much better basis for the decision.
this is the argument that doesn't appear to be getting much traction with the lkml. it was an interesting exchange to read as both sides appear to be speaking past each other repeating the same points. a case of agree to disagree perhaps.
Pachyderm, a project I work on, is probably as close as you'll find to something that ties all 3 together. In my mind the major unsolved problem here was the data versioning so that's the first thing we tackled. Code versioning is already quite well solved so we just integrate with existing tools for that. I'm not convinced that model versioning is actually distinct from data versioning, models are just data after all. So I think without an established system for versioning models, such as Git + Github is for code, treating models as data and versioning them that way is good enough for government work. From what I can tell CometML isn't quite versioning models so much as tracking versions of models. It expects that models to be stored and versioned elsewhere but it gives you a way to get deeper insight into how those models are performing, how they're changing, the hyper-parameters used to train them etc. Tracking this is also a very important problem that CometML seems to solve quite elegantly.
To be fair, I've heard of employers who make it hard to use accrued PTO as well.
Facebook Login
Anyone have an idea when Fb will start allowing developers to add Fb Login again? From what I understand, they are overhauling their app approval process and won't be allowing developers to get approval until they release a new version. Anyone have insight on how long this will be?

I have the same question.

"Free for the first $1 million of recurring charges." would actually be a better deal for early startups than their standard pricing of "2.9% + $0.30 charge".

Also, since they've migrated old subscriptions into this new "Billing" product, does that mean I'll start NOT paying fees on existing recurring subscriptions?
Last time I looked, which was several years ago, recurly was shockingly expensive. Over the top outrageous that it was an automatic no go for my business. PayPal, which I personally hate was a better option
The spirit of the article isn't wrong, but The Verge is starting to pull this rhetorical trick a little too frequently.

In this case, they take an otherwise defendable belief (censorship kills) and make clear the unsavory company you will find yourself in, should you choose to go public with this belief.
Thank's for making me look into that :). I'm half expecting a week or so of HN posts diving into this topic...
> In my experience it has a chilling effect on actual vacation taken.

This was exactly my experience in two very different environments with an unlimited vacation policy - one start-up, one large established company. The overwhelming majority of people took less vacation than what is typical at most tech companies and a handful took quite a bit more. The latter handful tended to be strongly correlated with people who were underperformers and the underperforming was, at least from my perspective, not due to less time but more down to a mix of general attitude and motivation. The former majority tended to be worried about perception and/or unsure of what was appropriate and thus tended to take less vacation than they otherwise would have.
>We're also introducing a new feature: smart retry logic. It’s powered by the same machine learning infrastructure behind Stripe Radar. Our algorithms train on data across the billions of payments in the Stripe network to predict the right way to retry failed payments.

As someone who is completely oblivious to how payments work behind the scenes (for the most part) could someone please explain how this became necessary?

It seems to me that Stripe has gone from easy to cheer for underdog, to payment processor that wants to eat the world (ala Facebook).

I love that they are constantly innovating, but every time they do, I have to refactor my product, and then decide how much of my current product's custom functionality can be replaced by Stripe. Then I have to decide if I want to double down on Stripe (at the peril of other integrations), or create a wacky payflow that acknowledges dozens of additional gateways.

I don't want a single product that does everything. I want a great product that does a few things really well. This is starting to kill my love affair with Stripe.
Fun article. Best line: "if we want to believe something, it will accrete a protective layer of positive studies whether it’s true or not."
I go backpacking a lot in sierras and only bring 1 roll of Coghlan's Toilet Paper for 3-4 days. I hardly ever use it. A diet of lots of fiber, a few sticks and granite rocks makes it a nonissue.
I agree. Unfortunately I think that’s practically impossible given battery constraints.
Hesiod: a lightweight directory service on DNS
I think most difficult problem is still proper accounting. I'm with a client right now, based in Europe and we had >really good time< integrating Recurly with Stripe and use it as their payment provider, but we got stuck when we figured out that there was a need to hire an accountant to handle the cancelations for us.

Having a service like Cleverbridge [1] / Avangate [2], where they end-up having someone to manage this for them for a bigger % of the sale, was the better deal.

Not sure how the startup-scene will solve this, but it's actually still really hard to do this properly.

My best solution would be to have Stripe doing whole-sale solution, where they invoice customers and you simply invoice them each month.

It just takes too much efforts to do this >legally< in Europe if you are on your own.

Yes, that’s why I said “requiring evidence”. I didn’t say we had to understand it. We don’t even understand our own brains, but they work. Now, prayer, does that work? I can’t really believe I have to explain this here.
This guide really has no audience. If you are responsible for a K8ts cluster you will need a depth of knowledge that requires knowing why. If you are using a hosted K8ts then you only need to know potential issues (why again). No one needs to know only what to do.
My last two jobs have been unlimited PTO, and going forward, it's a requirement for me.

Last job (Godaddy in sunnyvale, one of the nicest places I've worked in) didn't have any tracking. For 3+ days you emailed manager and team. Current job's the same, except you enter 3+ days in a software. At both places, I took ~20 days to go to India, and another 20 days at least rest of the year. More importantly, my manager can expect me to take a day off after a long night of pages.

At previous jobs, the 20 day India trip had to be reduced, or some unspoken agreement with manager, because I had 15 or so vacation days. I'm too spoilt now to handle that shit again. I haven't come across a mandatory minimum, but I take off a healthy amount anyway and I'm unimportant enough that the team can make do with 10 months of me.
We're not blank slates. There really are genetic differences. It very well might be that stereotypes about arguing and having opinions etc. are genetically-connected personality traits, who knows? Maybe some science has brought us a smidgen of understanding just enough to be dangerous…

The weird uncomfortable part is understanding that the strange individualistic rejection of culture and interest in just taking the best ideas from everywhere is actually a common experience of secular American Jews. You know what it's like to be a minority, just not part of the same club as everyone around you, so you question things and easily find the conclusion that most of the old traditions and views are nonsense. You're left wondering whether it's okay to find a "tribe" you fit (political or cultural or whatever) or if really the concept of tribes is itself just bad. If everyone else would stop being tribalist, we could all just live in a post-ethnic, post-diversity world or something where no individual has any more claim to any worldview or idea or culture than any other… but that's fantasy too.

The fact is: most people on the planet haven't even had the chance to be in a situation where they truly separate themselves from their traditions and consider the possibility of just not being of the group they grew up identifying with.

Consider the trans-racial ideas of that controversial lady in Spokane… these things are not easy ideas to grapple with.
> At far as desktops though, even creative/advertising agencies are moving to PC for photography, graphic design, audio production, video production and more. These were always the target market of Apple but they lost many.

I don't think this is really true, all the creative agencies I'm aware of are still firmly mac shops. Do you have a citation or anecdotes to back up your assertion?
Which production grade distros don't use systemd?
To me, it looks like the 0.4% is on top of the 2.9% + $0.30. There is a "Looking for payment fees?" section on the pricing page.
Thanks kristinanicole. Ep.2 is coming soon :)
Use the same pin for all. It's only marginally less secure.
> I strongly disagree that given YouTube's arbitrary policies murderous retaliation was inevitable.

It's the law of large numbers at work. With how many youtubers there are, and how severely some have been impacted, and how two faced/hypocritical they've been, and the current state of mental health in america I don't think it's rational to believe the risk is zero.
people do care about privacy to some degree.

Part of the reason (although not entire) is why many users like Snapchat because it doesn't keep a history of your messages. Snapchat doesn't use targeted ads like FB does. That's why everyone gets Kylie Jenner ads instead of personalized marketing
Some banks now have new activation procedures now include using your card to do a transaction or just use with correct pin.
First $1 million for the lifetime of the account I assume, not per year?

Seems odd that they announce a fee increase without any notice to existing customers.

Also I found their wording very confusing - I had a few seconds that I was very worried I'd have to migrate something or other. Poor communication wording on Stripe's part. C'mon, guys.
@tarstarr can you email invoices?

Also do you have multi currency subscriptions? Or do i need to create a pro_monthly_euro, expert_yearly_dollar subscription ?

It also takes the right genetics. Some of us will not have a real "beard" regardless of how much time we give it.

What about the amount of water it takes to manufacture disposable diapers?
But I don't want invoices?

Stripe needs to decide if they are a b2b API, or b2c checkout and invoicing product.
> Good coworkers work so that crunch time never comes up

This is a very bad argument. The launch of a product is a critical time, whether you like it or not.

Edit: Replaced crunch with critical, I don't think I understood the meaning of crunch.

Only been in my current role for 7 months; due to an acquisition I'll never really see how it plays out. Small startup, I was 'told' 2 weeks/year even though it's unlimited. Turns out you need a higher level of approval for more than 2 weeks at once which is a buzzkill because I prefer to take 3 week vacations when I travel overseas; that said, I've heard of employers who make using too much accrued PTO at much (eg, more than 2 weeks) difficult. So, IMO, it depends far more on your boss and the culture of the company than whether it's 'unlimited' or accrued PTO.

Ultimately I've taken 3 days in 7 months and am trying to swing a 3 week vacation in September.. we'll see, I guess. It makes planning a bit difficult any time you need extra approval for 'too many weeks' in a row. But I've always been a big believer in taking lots of vacation.
No I leave that to ignorant commenters that add nothing to the discussion.
You could more simply do the most of the same things with optional-to-use credit card terminals at the table, which avoids the customer needing a smartphone or a particular app installed on it; there are places trialing these now. If you support the contactless payment systems, you get most of the user advantages of a smartphone app without actually having to develop an app or rely on customers adding their card to yet another payment app.

The main thing your version has I'd the status integration, but that means if the service ever has downtime, restaurants using it lose both the ability for people to pay with it and their tracking of who has paid.

> However, in my mind I feel like this would be a game-changer and any restaurant that does this consumers would love.

If you are a restaurant and you are going to force me to use an app to use a credit card, either:

(1) That app is Google Pay, or

(2) I'm not eating there unless I happen to have planned in advance to bring cash, which is an inconvenience that weighs against you.
It's going to be interesting to see if they stick with Intel for the Pro.

Wouldn't the apps that the pro users dictate that to a large extent? If the truly "pro" apps don't get rebuilt against ARM then it would be like Apple never really released the Mac Pro if they ditch Intel so early into its return.
Oh I don't disagree. Rather, I was responding to the assertion that wealthy people are better drivers.
I don't see centralization of a federated solution as a problem. If the popular service becomes for whatever reason unappealing, the solution allows for another provider to step in.
Why?

I mean, there seems to be no reasonable reason why that should be the case, he can see (and be notified) of everything they're seeing and he can substantiate his decision by pointing towards the data, and should do so - because in this case the other officers might have noticed problems with that data.
Religious faith is by definition believing in hypotheses without valid reason. That’s all I’m saying. If Buddhist mindfulness is effective then that’s great. But I’m talking about evaluating the truth of hypotheses using faith.
On my PC I use Corel Draw, on the iPad Autodesk Sketchbook, Touch Draw, or the Notes application, on the Surface its usually Sketchbook but I've also got Sketchable, and on Linux Inkscape.

The worst thing is the linkage between knowing what you want to do and assembling the right tools to do it in the app you're looking at. Most of my drawing is technical in nature (systems, small components, software architectures, Etc.)
Small but well-known NYC startup. Disliked the policy strongly, and nobody would give me a ballpark of vacation to take when I interviewed and after I joined. There was a huge discrepancy in how much vacation people took, which left some feeling resentful. A couple more senior employees took 4-5 weeks a year; most people did 2 weeks, with some pushing it a little more - 2-3 weeks. Anytime I asked HR, they encouraged me to "take as much time as I need", but the work was nonstop, and my manager wasn't happy anytime I took time off.
I think they're hoping that the reduced churn rate will make up for the added fees. A "whoops please update your card" email gives people the opportunity to decide whether a sub is valuable, while a quiet background payment tends to be less noticed.
Wait until you get to Docker 5 -> Docker 6. I bet it will turn into Java basically.
Given what I just posted about Mastodon a couple hours ago, I definitely recognize the challenge of recentralization tendencies: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16765156

I think the biggest issue is our home connections. I'd rather have a box in my house, but the need for the connection to not suck means I can't, which means there's added hosting costs, I have to trust someone to manage it, etc. If we had good symmetrical-speed Internet, I'd say a box with some reasonable defaults you plug in at home would be the way to go, and it wouldn't make sense to recentralize, because you aren't just switching hosts, you're leaving your house.
This list is a joke, that's not even close to a 1:1 comparison. It looks like they intentionally picked the most expensive options for everything. You don't need a $160 AIO water cooler, a $250 1000W power supply, or a $650(!?!?!) motherboard. The Vega in the iMac doesn't compare to a 1080 at all.

To anyone with an understanding of PC hardware it's clear this list was composed specifically to justify the iMac pro's price.

Here's a much more reasonable list: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/xanderstrike/saved/mNDWXL
You're complaining about one side using wildly misleading and baseless stats, but then turn around and throw out a completely baseless and fairly absurd claim with no attempt to even back or source it, and then claim that because some cars have 0 fatalities that means something.

The truth is somewhere in between Tesla's marketing and your wildly absurd 100x more fatal claim, but its much closer to Tesla than you.

Tesla's statistics (i.e. real numbers, but context means everything) do involve a whole whack of unrelated comparisons (buses, 18-wheelers, motorcycles) that all server to skew the stats in various ways, we can ignore them claiming to be slightly safer than regular cars.

However comparing more like to like, IIHS numbers for passenger cars driver deaths on highways puts Tesla at 3.2x more likely than all other cars to be involved in a fatal crash (1 death/428,000,000 miles driven vs tesla's 1 death/133,000,000 miles driven).

Of course this too is an unfair comparison. A 133hp econobox/prius vs a sports car in terms of performance is considered equal in that comparison. If one was really interested in accuracy, a comparison of high power AWD cars in similar price ranges driven on the same roads by the same demographics would be needed.

So by even standards clearly biased against Tesla, they are no where near 100x more fatal than other cars. Tesla's own numbers claim autopilot reduces accidents, and supposedly NHS numbers back them up.

Its important and critical to not believe marketing hype and lazy statistics. If you want people to take you seriously, countering hype and bad stats with equal or worse hype and worse counter stats is not the way to do it.
They are not illusory, but I think people run into problems finding a structure or deeper meaning that cements those good habits into their daily life. They just become more “to do” items on our daily growing list of shit to do.

What is illusory, is that something outside of human perception will “fix” a perception problem. Something like repetitive exertion, like exercising... that is not a solution if there is a core perception problem in that person’s lens. As long as a “fix” or “solution” is being sought, it will always be temporary unless it opens up something in the person that allows them to see the original issue. But most often that stuff is used like a multivitamin, and people forget the significance of the fragile foundations they’re laying down as stuff to make the “rest of their life” possible. And they just move their attention to something else, something like watching Netflix instead of thinking about why they have such a hard time getting up to exercise in the first place.

It’s a spiritual problem.
Be careful though when compiling your code with -ffinite-math-only (which is part of -ffast-math and -Ofast). The compiler will likely replace your function with a constant expression returning false, since it assumes that NaNs cannot occur in your code. I found that the only safe way to actually check for NaNs when using these flags is to memcpy the float into a byte array (to avoid aliasing issues) and manually compare against the NaN bitmask.
