So there's hope that it might be usable for f/oss enthusiasts at some point.
Right. Does anyone have any idea why the SEC has such a huge justice-hunger for Musk? Musk definitely gets a lot of government contracts and money, and is very connected to defence, and lobbying. Why is someone that useful / influential becoming a target of such intense focus and interest? Is it a personal grudge at the SEC (why?) or from above? Is it a way to laterally apply pressure on Musk regarding SpaceX?

For me, the biggest appeal of Fi is that you pay the same data rates when travelling in other countries. The second biggest is the ability to have up to 5 data SIMs associated with the same account, with identical rates and no extra fees.

Rails is a great monolith framework, but a monolith will eventually reach its limits, due to size/complexity of the team or the task at hand. I think providing a better story around how to prepare for or handle that transition would definitely serve Rails a lot better in the long run. But, as long as the main target audience of Rails is Basecamp (a saas tool with 12 developers), I don't see it in the future.
It wouldn't be infinite, actually: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_series#Sum
Not sure much can be done here without global investment and adherence to never dumping plastics that are not biodegradable.

The solution must be possible, but finding the will and the support to convince every country in the world to switch sounds incredibly tough.

The US could flex its economic muscle here and say that it will not accept products from abroad unless they're packaged according to its new standards within the next 5 years. And of course adhere to the standards internally as well to take a global lead on this issue.
Popularity of a framework or paradigm seems largely driven by marketing and memes. With "Rails doesn't scale" as the almost-rhyme that sticks in people's minds, an entire tech cycle gets wasted on things that take significantly more developer effort.

I've seen a Rails app handle Cyber Monday traffic for an ecommerce company just fine, and I've seen JVM-based apps crumple under a fraction of the load.

Rails scales (see, that actually rhymes, so it must be true), Ruby is a really nice language to work in, and those things will remain true regardless of whatever frameworks exist or whatever earworm sayings stick in the minds of the next generation of developers.
Non string values in props and attributes is basically my only complaint about Vue, but saying that it's HTML with functionality tacked on is so completely uninformed. It's got all of the functionality of React, and can do cool stuff with slots (both scoped and unscoped), renderless and/or functional components.

The "I wouldn't use Vue except for a small project" meme really needs to die too. Vue's build process is mature, has server-side rendering, and is used by some of the biggest companies in the world. If it's good enough for them at scale, it's good enough for the rest of us.
This line of reasoning is right up there with the devestation of war creating economic activity.
Just like Climate Change, oceanic plastic pollution is a case of Tragedy of the commons. I can separate my waste and recycle as much as I want (and I do!) but it’s all useless if a random idiot proceeds to dump my weekly household recycling output into a river and call it a day.

This is nothing that can be solved with personal initiative and responsibility; it requires international regulation and enforcement. There’s no other way

> ASL is usually the most useful data but only the L is sort of available

you are thinking in term of ads.

If instead what you want to know is, what parts of the sites do visitors stop navigating. Or which pages are seen by recurring visitors vs other pages seen mainly by new visitors. What pages are almost never visited.

Those informations don’t need ASL, the goal is not to target individuals but to profile the site and see what brings value and what might not.

> management is convinced

I think analytics are not a tool for management though, except perhaps in very broad stokes. I see it more for product owners who need a feedback tool so see the impact of what they do or have a vision of how the user uses their product.

It’s like asking management what decisions they make based on NewRelic. None surely. That’s not their job.

Analog computers need not be electronic. They can be mechanical (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digi-Comp_I) or hydraulic (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MONIAC), too.

In my experience, the 'Request Demo/Quote' or 'Contact Sales' is a bit more nuanced than just price differentiation. Especially when the product is offered by a young and/or small to mid-sized business.

First of all, building a company which can effectively sell to (and support) businesses as well as end customers is far from easy. Unless a company has a proven track record, I'd meet such claims with much skepticism.

Enterprise customer's expectations/requirements from a support, integration, availability, etc. perspective are completely different than those from an end-user. When going through those requirements, it comes down to finding the price at which those requirements can or are willing to be met. For example, an enterprise customer is likely to add clauses into the contract which deal with ownership changes, bankruptcy, option to transfer to a perpetual license (possibly with source code) in case of end-of-support, availability of consultancy services for integration to future tools, etc.
Don’t forget about the search that is only ever useful when you know what’s on the page you’re searching for.

I'm just worried about the filter bubble, the ones that agree with you will see this and other articles like it. People with hate will see totally different articles fuelling their hate. Social media will have a lot to answer to sooner or later.
Third grade me believed that my recycling got recycled. But it didn’t. We paid extra taxes for corrupt deals to get it dumped in the ocean. That was my plastic that killed the whale. Why did they lie to me? I did always wonder where all the recycling plants were. Would it really have been worse if we had put it in the landfill?
Changing Sketches into Photorealistic Masterpieces
As a language Rust sleeps the floor with C++. You're mentioning a bunch of pieces of software, most of which is already written in C++ so you're giving me a kind of apples to oranges question.
Yep, very common. Even companies with upfront pricing (like AWS) will give custom discounts to enterprise users.

And for Startups, it's not uncommon to give discounts because sometimes you just want the logo.
Every time I think about a price discrimination scenario either in SaaS, airline tickets, or booking a hotel, I see it in government taxation on individuals or corporations as well. If you make more, you have to pay more. Of course, the ones who pay more have some extra perks that come with the price.
I've never felt as dialed in and as productive in any other tool or framework as I have in Rails. It takes all the unimportant BS, places it off to the side, allows me to focus on what I want to build, and gives me the ability to dig in deeper on the details when I want/need to.

The amount of projects I have seen go bad because someone did a bad job of solving some problem that would have been a non issue in Rails is staggering.
Isn't it going as intended Ballen whales have bad design, their filter mouth is used for filtering plankton out of the sea water, now they are vunerable to plastics.
> Once you hit five or six figures usually the lawyers will get involved anyway so they can then deal with all the haggling.

This is a common misconception. The lawyer haggling usually has to do with non-monetary contract terms. Price is usually left to the business folks.
The solution to bite the bullet though is economic incentive - tax driving more, eliminate parking, etc. The pain should come first; otherwise, why would anyone (in sufficient numbers) bite the bullet?
Well this is kind of crazy. I saw the title and instantly thought "oh wow, this is totally in line topically with a recent activity".

Great place TBH.
Absolutely... neighborhoods, towns, and roads surrounding former major industrial centers (or mining towns), and occasionally the city itself. By land area, a lot of the US is like this, you just have to do a lot of driving if you are on the coasts, or fly to a small airport and drive to a different small airport.
"According to the U.N. Environment Programme, some 9 million tons of plastic end up in the ocean each year. According to a 2017 study from the environmental group Ocean Conservancy, more than half of that waste comes from just five countries in East and Southeast Asia — China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam."

Does anyone know how this fits in with plastic 'recycling'? These nations either were or are big importers of waste plastic.

I don't really want to separate out my waste, only for it to be dumped in the ocean somewhere else.
In the past 14 years we somehow lost the ability to do “Your blog in 15 minutes” videos for any framework [1].

I wonder if that “do X in under 20 minutes” can be replicated in modern-day Rails.

Also, their opinion is to provide a JSON API by default, so you can hook in a JS frontend app later if you want.

If you want it right from the start, you can create an api only rails project: https://guides.rubyonrails.org/api_app.html
I'll add my 2c and say I disagree entirely. We ship mid-seven figures through Stripe yearly and I enjoy the back-end still to this day - have been using it right after it was /dev/payments and still kicking all these years on my main small business and small projects alike.

I don't see the need for "reporting" from the Stripe website as I think most businesses should be doing it on their own in their own tooling, but in the cases I want to quickly look things up, Stripe's back-end has been just fine as well.
Why hasn’t Amazon, Costco, or Walmart used their clout to effect a positive change? Have you seen all the plastic and unnecessary packaging in the goods they sell. The size of the packaging relative to the actual product is so ridiculous sometimes.
This is the great secret of quantum computing! People assume it must be difficult because their exposure to quantum mechanics has been a hundred incomprehensible pop science articles written by people who have no idea what they're talking about. In fact quantum computing requires only extremely basic knowledge of linear algebra.
What does DIGITS buy you? You still have to hand out your actual number right?
> global investment and adherence to never dumping plastics that are not biodegradable.

Or not producing the unnecessary packaging in the first place. We really don't need every single cucumber wrapped in its own plastic film. (Like it's common in the shops recently...) Lots of other packaging is completely useless as well.
You will end up with proxy anyway. Don't tell me you expose your web apps to the public without any frontend protection?
Even if that were the case, the payment wouldn't be infinite. 1% + 1% of 1% + 1% of 1% of 1% ... doesn't converge to infinity, it converges to 1.0101010101...%.
I like the future availability argument. It's a good function.

But i also can see, why citizens (if we talk about housing) might object, if there is no affordable housing right now, if everyone were betting.

But then again, if i look at prizing over the last 100 years, and if citizens back then would have to look at prizes today, they would be outraged or at least be worried about their offspring. While, when one is working today and does not have to live in popular areas, in my anecdotal experience, many do pretty ok.
TypeScript 3.4 RC with incremental builds and globalThis
Thx for sharing.
I disagree. Tragedy of the Commons is a situation that is about the management of wildlife and natural resources for the purposes of maximizing yield, with the lesson being regulated consumption results in maximal natural harvest. Pollution is just a negative economic externality, or consequence of an action that is unseen by the participants, where more pollution is always worse. Unfortunately, no one owns the oceans, and the normal ways for resolving externalities don't work without an aggrieved property owner.
I suspect he's referring to Gender Dysphoria, which was previously known as Gender Identity Disorder. This, if I recall correctly, happened in the transition to DSM 5.0.

It‘s interesting they added globalThis which only works when the browser does support it. Didn‘t they build every festure before so it csn be compiled for older browsers too?
From the same links:

"Due to their acidic pH, flavored sparkling waters can be nearly as corrosive as orange juice when exposed to human teeth for just 30 minutes, according to researchers at the University of Birmingham and Birmingham Dental Hospital."

"BPA-based plastics are used to line food and drink cans to protect against metal contamination, but these endocrine disruptors bring on a host of health problems on their own. ... FWIW, the state of California, for example, includes BPA in its Proposition 65 list of toxic chemicals that are 'known to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm.'"

"One study published in the journal Obesity Research and Clinical Practicethis link opens in a new tab found that rats that had carbonated drinks ate more and gained more weight over a six-month period than those that drank flat drinks or plain water. The bubbly-bev rats also had more of the appetite-increasing hormone ghrelin, which signals your body to eat more, which can explain the weight gain."
We seem to be producing 8 billion tons [1], so 9 million ending up in the ocean is sadly predictable, even assuming earnest recycling efforts.

It would be great if businesses decided to differentiate themselves from their competition by using biodegradable, environmentally friendly packaging. I wouldn't mind shopping with them instead, even at a slightly higher cost, just so that I as a consumer don't feel like I'm killing our marine life for no good reason.
Thanks for noticing :) It's been quite a while since I worked on the code, but I believe that the translator intentionally left types declared as "char {star}" unmodified assuming that they were being used as strings [1] rather "regular" array buffers. I'm guessing that dealing with strings would have been a lot more work because it would require providing safe compatible replacements for all the standard C library string functions.

I think you should find that array buffers of other types, like "unsigned char" or "const unsigned char", and their associated pointer iterators are translated to their corresponding macros. I'd be interested if you find otherwise. If you're interested, the relevant code for the translator is in the "safercpp" subdirectory [2]. It's not super-well commented so if you have any questions feel free to post them in the "issues" section of the repository.

> The moment we crossed a dozen customers and 100-200K in monthly processing, it’s as if Stripe just stopped working for us.

This is odd. We have hundreds of monthly customers and ship physical + digital products, handle returns, disputes, and so forth fairly well.

Support has been good for us as well, if unconventional, so I'll agree with the lack of a direct line access to an AM/AE being annoying... but ultimately it hasn't stopped us from doing anything timely.

We have a SaaS product in addition to physical retailing and Stripe works very well for us and I don't see how it won't for years to come. We use third-party systems in addition to Stripe for inventory management, fulfillment, and we do reporting from pulling raw data into our own back-end and doing the work there (which... I'm pretty sure is standard with most small tech businesses, as you have much more granular control over things), so I guess we just almost entirely disagree with each other.

I think your suggestions are good... I just don't see them as being anything more than sustainment features for me.
Did you read the article? It says that "more than half of that waste comes from just five countries in East and Southeast Asia — China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam". All the companies you listed are irrelevant there.

I'm not really convinced this is true, because there are numbers that are categorized as robocallers, and there are others that aren't. You'd think that if they were fake then they'd be random/uniform.
WTF, the rate of interception is so high. (search for "prevalence of HTTPS interception")

Did your plastic really end up in the ocean? I'm guessing most of my plastic went to a landfill to be dealt with later or was shipped to a reprocessing facility. I understand your western guilt, but I'm guessing most of the plastic comes from places that aren't economically able to deal with their waste streams properly.
Oops... I didn't read the assumptions.
Apple now sells five different iPads
We may not strictly need it, but it is there for a reason. Be it less pesticides (my organic cucumbers come wrapped, the non-organic don't) or less waste (because damaged cucumbers are thrown away).

The real question is, how does the plastic end up in the ocean? Bonus points for: can there be a biodegradable replacement?
I don't think that this is an issue. You can make these support / refute conditions visible, and leave it to the viewer to judge if they're reasonable.

I think you're fundamentally misunderstanding the problem.

We do have a problem with nomenclature being fractured, even within fields, never mind between them. But that's not the problem.

The problem is that when you get deep enough into how things work, things just get really complex and they stop behaving in ways and patterns that humans experience the world. They end up being things that cannot be simplified down to a common human experience in any meaningful way. At best, you can take a portion of the concept and make an analogy to some limited portion of a common experience without lying too much. But they are fundamentally not the same, so you cannot use the analogy to discover anything new about the original concept.

There is also a problem of the time it takes to internalize new ideas and concepts. You can't quickly and easily give someone an intuitive understanding of anything - it takes work and experience and time on their part to get there. I don't see how going and reworking nomenclatures of entire fields is going to make people more willing or able to devote their time to this. Mostly you'll have to put in incredible amount of work, convince far too many people to do things a different way because you said so, and all you'll have really done is save some (significant) annoyance from students getting their feet wet in a new field.
I am surprised to read on YC news, that speculation is not a productive activity.

Is not the whole venturing idea an organized risk minimizing speculation adventure? I do not think anyone willingly spends part of their wealth into something, that they don't think, it's worth investing in.

And i also think it is worth noting, that if there was then a future gain, that it had produced something, that others were willing to spend money on. So it must have been useful?
