Why should a payment processor be able to make such legal decisions? That's what the courts are for. The current trend of cutting services for political reasons is problematic at best, particularly when there's arguably a monopoly.

There needs to be more transparency, and a clear and fair system for arbitration and dispute resolution. Better still, one that's consistent across all digital services so people know what to expect when signing up without wading through a novel's worth of user agreements.
How about "The Reddit" then?

What kind of tyro thinks GB/s instead of ops/s is the right measure here?
libpostal is a pretty incredible open source project, but addresses are so complicated and nuanced that depending on what you’re doing, it might not be able to keep up. I work for a real estate tech company where we do a lot of address parsing and we had to move away from it because it’s just not quite powerful enough to handle all of the edge cases you find in US addresses. Right now we use SmartyStreets because their address parser is a bit better for our use case. Libpostal is a great general purpose library but depending on what level of accuracy you need, you might have to look for alternatives.

I spent time trying to use libpostal and build USPS address normalization rules on top of it but there are so many edge cases it was more cost effective to just purchase a solution from a vendor.

That is not to take away from this project — it’s quite good for a broad set of addresses across the world — but for narrow use cases such as ours it just couldn’t quite cut it.
Me too. Sublime's always keep text even when rebooted without save makes it the ideal notepad.

Don't think I run any other Electron apps. Used to run Slack and Spotify but now just pin browser tabs. Some devs run Gitkraken which baffles me.
I've had this plan when I was 18 and now that I'm 22 I'm not so happy with it. I've had a bit of luck and acquired a dirt cheap apartment this year so maybe frugality will pay off but so far I feel like it's holding me back.
The first half of this article made me think it was going to talk about how clever algorithms can change a 1 year problem into a 1ms problem, think outside the box, etc. Instead it took a nosedive into complaining about electron, which definitely needs to be complained about, but this felt a bit unfocused.
I think the performance of the actual device is so limited it’s like running an iPhone simulator to debug your software.

But if the expected performance of the quantum machine is theoretically going to increase exponentially every X months for the next 2 decades, combined with the theory that certain problems shift from exponential to polynomial time solutions, yes, eventually the “debugger” will not be useful to actually try running your solver.
What is the "correct" handling of swap on an HDD supposed to be like? It is going to be slow no matter what you do. Windows also locks up for long periods of time if you use up almost all the RAM and it has to swap to HDD.
A very nice article. It covers the connection of Fourier series to the initial attempts in Set Theory, something that is not often mentioned. As far as I know, at least three major notions of "largeness" came out of the attempts to quantify the allowed sets of discontinuities in Fourier (in general, trigonometric) series:

1) uncountability (Cantor)

2) category (Baire)

3) Measure (Jordan/Borel/Lebesgue)
Is this purely about convenience tools in an IDE or are there some things actually locked into the Windows environment? Is .NET a lot like Xcode where it's not like you can just download the libraries + compiler + a text editor and have all you need? The latter is broadly true for every language I've really dove into so this feels like a foreign concept.

Edit: what I could stand to gain is that I work weekly in four or five languages. Already well tooled up in Ubuntu and vscode. Nothing frustrates me more than having to keep multiple IDEs consistent. Imagine driving two cars all day that have their controls in all different places.
The concept of retirement was conceived of when, as you suggest, the working class could not afford savings while being destined for incapacitation from decades of hard labor. What was normally a family upkeep of tending to an elderly loved on was converted to a social cost.

Now, hoewever, most people work sedentary jobs with plenty of opportunity to aim for a life of retirement if they do please. Most do not. Is this society’s fault that employees don’t contribute to their 401(k)s until they are in their thirties?

To counter your point, a truly civilized society leads to greater individual responsibility for the self and for others. That doesn’t happen when things like healthcare and social security are planned for you using 80-year old blueprints.
I have no trouble understanding philosophy, it's not at all deep or challenging compared to advanced mathematics or physics. It's just unproductive. Ask five philosophers for an answer and you'll get ten opinions.
You haven't seen AMEX in Europe? I've had one for years and used it all over Europe with zero problems whatsoever.
The UK has more consumer protection laws in general, so the need for the card issuer to provide protection is not as necessary.

Credit cards have some perks, but they also have interest rates which debit cards do not. Many people would rather avoid getting into debt at all, because it can be very easy to go just over budget and end up paying more than you wanted, or getting locked in a debt spiral where you can't afford to pay off the growing interest.
"What's the point of crypto???" - HN yesterday
Well, you seem to be providing data against your own theory.

Usually codebases are a mess, so were people commenting more on what's the goal then refactoring it would be easier.

Software is very susceptible to the "perfect is the enemy of done" mantra. Software works as soon as it works for the first time. And then it gets a shipped. It's 1.0, even if it looks like a mess internally. Because IT development is expensive, there is rarely budget to go that extra mile (which is again usually would cost a lot more than the first few miles).
A People’s History is ~800 pages and clips along at a good pace. I don’t know that you can go much shorter with an overview of such a long period without sacrificing a lot of substance. I’d highly recommend making the investment into A People’s History - easily one of the most significant histories of America - and Howard Zinn’s other work if you end up appreciating it.
Rewards are entirely paid for by higher interchange rates. If a card is paying a 1% reward of some sort, it is also costing the merchant at least 1% more than non-reward cards at the interchange level. A lot of this is hidden by services like Stripe and Square that have flat fees for merchants (which are higher than any interchange fee) and also by processing ISOs that hide the interchange rates in their own synthetic flat fees. Nevertheless, the interchange rates are easily googled and differ somewhat based on merchant industry and size (market power again). Convenience stores successfully banded together and negotiated a lower rate for their industry. National-scale grocery chains also pay less. Again, not an example of a competitive market. The most effective means to cap rates has been legislation (e.g. the Durbin amendment and efforts in the EU.) because of the cartel-like behavior of the market participants to keep prices high and compete on "features".
But that's what war is. I would imagine it's easier, and less of a risk to all humans involved on both sides, to create drones with non-lethal capabilities than to send non-lethal human forces into warzones.

Edit: I added the second paragraph to my original comment within 3 minutes of posting it, as I noticed there wasn't much hope of getting a response without fleshing out the question. I now have to choose between adding an additional reply to contend with the idea that I "keep editing my comments", or to edit this comment to deal with that additional claim.

> Are you sure you know you didn't?

I'm pretty sure, yeah. Granted, I come from a relatively less developed country where my parents were the first generation which had gone to university and they were also the first generation in my family tree who got to live in the city. As such, they had known first-hand what manual work really was, they saw and understood that it wasn't anything glamorous and as such I in turn understand why they didn't want to put me to work, too.

Coming soon in Colorado: Traffic speeding tickets issued using timing calculated from highway sign radio signals.
One of my startups was purchased by QLogic, which made PCI cards in bulk. One of their corporate standards is that prototypes have red PCBs, to prevent them ever being mixed together with production parts. These days I have some friends who have a particular debit card that's the same color of red. Every time I see it, I twitch.
Secret court? They're a private company, they're entirely free to choose who they do business with for whatever reason (barring a few protected classes that would fall foul of anti-discrimination law, of course).

By those standards, the people were doxed by the original Mark Rober video. The street number of the woman's house was visible on the trashcan, that with the name of the trash vendor (also visible on the trashcan) were enough to find the address.

That imgur album was shared by a reporter, Matt Novak from Gizmodo. It is private and was not widely shared until he decided to post it in his reporting.

If you want to be mad at anyone for doxing, look to Mark Rober for being sloppy in his editing and Matt Novak for posting a link to that private gallery.
... and couldn't get the correct answers for LiH. Interesting that the article didn't mention this.

From the paper:

> For lithium hydride, LiH, we were not able to reproduce closely the ground state energy with the currently available hardware. When accounting for 3 orbitals and using a scaling factor of r = 4, we already had to use 1558 qubits, which is a large fraction of available qubits. To summarize: the investigated method in general works, but it might be difficult to apply it to larger systems.
If the fully loaded headcount cost of a CPS teacher isn't north of $100,000 I'll be pretty surprised. CPS teachers are well-compensated. Their median salary is $71,000, and they get good health insurance and a defined-benefit pension plan.

I live in Oak Park, just on the outskirts of Chicago, and the median teacher cash comp at my kids' high school is something like $120,000.

Except that he was not giving people "fake Windows" or "98% Windows" or anything other than what people were expecting: Windows. It was just that he made a copy without first getting permission.

> people only use paypal because vendors accept paypal.

> you wouldn't have a paypal account otherwise.

Sure, if I couldn't use it to pay for anything, I wouldn't have a Paypal account. I don't use Paypal to send money to friends or anything like that, just for (international) online payments.

> and outside of the usa, most bank systems have ways to forward money based on other records.

Sure, but those aren't generally accepted online, internationally.

For example, the vast majority of online payments in the Netherlands are done through iDEAL, but that only works for Dutch banks. Some (generally large) stores support it, but most don't.
This is excellent perspective, thank you.
I think the length is ok. The main thing is that the getting started stuff only matters to someone who already knows why they should bother.
Doom was pure, distilled, adrenaline fueled fun. Fast and stripped down.

If Descent was an SUV loaded with feature and cup holders, Doom was a sports car focused on raw performance and driving pleasure.

Both impressive but Doom is just a visceral blast in ways that few games can match.

I disagree with nickharr's opinion on humor just as starkly as you, but agree with the need for comments very much. And his/her point still stands regardless of how much you name and group functions. There are concerns and aspects (design/engineering decisions become implementation details that might need rationale) that can't be presented efficiently that way. (Workarounds for issues benefit a lot from links to the relevant issue trackers, and so on.)
I have a similar experience. I'm a developer on a product that has both C and C# components. The C component runs on both Windows and Linux and is by far the larger of the two while the C# GUI component is Windows-only.

Our main workstations are Windows but we also have a shared Linux development VM on our group's VM host. The VM host is not very powerful, it's a hand-me-down machine from another group that's around 7 years old at this point, with a low-clocked Bulldozer-based AMD Opteron CPU and spinning rust storage. In comparison my workstation has a 4th-gen Core i7 processor and a SATA SSD.

Despite the fact that my workstation should be around 2-3x as fast per thread and have massively better disk I/O the VM host still builds our C code in less than half the time. If I didn't have to maintain the C# code and use MS Office I'd switch to Linux as my main workstation OS in a heartbeat. (Note that the compilation process on neither platform uses parallel compilation so it's not that our VM is farming the compile out to more cores.)

This was a plot in one of the Culture novels by Iain Banks. Two civilizations decide to settle a dispute by fighting simulated wars in VR. Very interesting story.
I'm not entirely sure what your question is? If it matters that Discover and Amex is not being accepted?

Most adults will be using credit cards, unless you haven't proven to your bank yet that you are trustworhty (i.e. just moved to the country). Debit is usually younger people, below 18 (at least in DK). Both are still Visa or MasterCard.

It would still be a problem, if as a merchant got banned by Visa/MasterCard, since now they have no other way than to accept cash, which obviously doesn't work if you are an online shop.
Yes, macOS is gradually becoming slow.

Worst thing is the Finder. Moving files between folders used to be instant. Now it sometimes takes a few seconds for files to appear in a folder after you drop them.

I have no clue why.

I tell myself that the problem is that the old, experienced programmers are leaving, and inexperienced young programmers are too busy adding new features (it works! good enough!) to make sure anything actually works well. And of course that never would have happened if Steve Jobs was still alive. (Just kidding. Steve Jobs loved fancy graphics that made everything slow)

Git runs really slow on it. It runs much faster when turning off Windows defender (but still slow).
A true tragedy of the commons. I'm pessimistic that we would be capable of an international ban without rogue states and loopholes. We'll probably end up developing quasi-peacetime technology that could be co-opted for military purposes.
Code is not music. When thinking about code you must keep track of possible branches executed code might take and properties of the physical machine it runs on. C++'s complexity can hide code's underlying logic and make some types of bugs more common.

> Can you explain how I still seem to have enough oxygen to breathe?

This is a fundamental question in economics, and the answer is that oxygen is (currently) not a scarce resource.

This is not an inherent property of oxygen. In a Mars settlement, oxygen would probably be a costly manufactured good.

Economics is sometimes called the "science of scarcity", and the basic economic problem as the gap between limited resources and theoretically limitless wants: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/scarcity.asp

Resources that are in bigger supply that the demand have nothing for Economists to study.

As for roads, I'd note that they're only scarce some times. I wouldn't expect much or any road pricing to apply at nights or weekends even in heavily congested big city commute paths.

And as for my "absolutism" and "dogma", I don't know what that specifically refers to. I think I'm just calmly explaining the state of the science in this field. Let me know if I need to clarify anything!
That's not really true though. They didn't "destroy" it. They constrained it's development and hindered adoption.

They didn't do it by themselves either. They got miners and exchanges on board as well.

Also if you disagree and you think there's a better way to develop it you can by creating a fork or sell your coins. There is nothing stopping you.

> they’re talking about (imo) how it’s “safe” to put money into because “no one owns the crypto coin” and if anyone still believes that latter part, well, they probably aren’t paying attention.

There's a difference between believing nobody has significant sway over how the cryptocurrency should be developed and you personally having full control over your own coins.
When I say lock up I mean the UI completely stops. As in, my i3 bar stops updating for several minutes. Not even the linux magic commands let me recover.

On windows things may be unresponsive, but at least ctrl-alt-del responds, and at least the mouse moves!

The main difficulty is I can't tell if my machine has crashed vs is overloaded if the UI doesn't do anything for several minutes.

As for the GM side, Nakamura basically said the same.

The language known as Scheme has done a lot of damage to Lisp's image. When undergrads are exposed to Scheme, they tend to forever carry a negative image of Lisp by association.

A lot of the time when you meet someone who had a bad experience with Lisp, if you interview them a bit, you soon discover it was actually Scheme.

Scheme twenty years ago, R5RS was even worse than now. It had nothing practical in the spec. No way to write a program consisting of multiple files. No error handling. R5RS talks about situations that trigger an "error", but nothing about how such a thing can be handled and recovered. Or how an error can be generated on purpose and then caught.

Anyone who studied R5RS in school was learning an utter piece of academic garbage; a serious regression from real Lisp.
That'd be great, but rarely done. And usually there's a big impedance mismatch between the design document's level of detail and the level that'd be actually useful were someone trying to understand the actual code. (Hence comments seem to me to be the ideal place for documentation. Especially that they can be maintained right at the time the code changes.)

Depends on what you're doing. Some technologies are only supported on Windows (like the official UI frameworks), but most things like webdev and gamedev libraries are supported on all platforms. Giving up Visual Studio can be a hard sell, as from my experience C# + Visual Studio (+ ReSharper) is one of the most productive programming environments you can have.

You can download the SDK from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/ and use it on any platform with your editor of choice, including JetBrains Rider, which is a cross-platform .NET IDE.
