This is totally and completely incorrect for the US, reversing ACH transactions that are made in error is totally a standard and perfectly legal.

Requiring a court order to correct simple bank errors is entirely infeasible and, frankly, pretty silly.

>A payor can attempt to reverse a payment made with an ACH credit only if the payor claims the beneficiary was already paid by a previous ACH credit entry, or the beneficiary was the wrong recipient of the funds, or the original ACH payment was in the wrong amount. Otherwise, the credit is considered final.
Rust compilation is slow, and a large part of that is due to the use of LLVM.
Minor note: nuclear is carbon neutral too.
Maybe they fear this will mean they need to do blocking outside the DNS level? I'd certainly be sweating as an ISP if I need to start doing SNI inspection to block certain domains. That takes some decent packet inspection infrastructure.

My daughter was in the Apple store the other day with a faulty charger. (It wasn't the problem she went to ask about.) They wouldn't even speak to her about the problem she wanted to talk about until they went and got a new charger for her. They said it was just better to get that out of the way first. So her experience was excellent.

How is everyone's Apple store experience so radically different?
Is it possible to design a nuclear reactor that’s resistant to widespread corruption and incompetence?

In 2019, we have to consider that even advanced democracies with great scientists and technologists might descend into some form of illiberal rule. Imagine if you could not depend on leaders to shut down a plant if problems are discovered, or if contracts were awarded based on cronyism, or if it was impossible to guarantee the quality of materials, or if whistleblowers were not protected.

I'm not sure anyone can guarantee that any country will definitely remain stable over the lifetime of a nuclear reactor. Black Swans are out there.

"Too cheap to meter" - my ass
My A S and C keys letters are totally warn out and white and the light shines through a good part. I get a new laptop each year (pass old down through business) and this degradation happens pretty quick. must be oil from fingers. though I like to think I'm pretty clean and my laptop is too..
It looks like it'll be mitigated (https://www.tomshardware.co.uk/raspberry-pi-4-firmware-updat...), but not necessarily fixed- making a difference of a few degrees. Active cooling makes a huge difference, which is why it baffles me that the official case has no ventilation.

My iPad Pro 12.9 smart keyboard also failed in this way.

Fortunately the Apple store replaced it for free (Vancouver BC Canada) saying there was a quality program about these keyboards. Apparently it is not the connector, but the flex cable that connects the iPad that fails.
I have the previous gen 12.9" iPad Pro and my keyboard has just started giving me the not recognized messages and occasionally not working. It hasn't died completely yet but I'm giving it to my son and he'll mostly just use the pencil doing art stuff so it's not that big a deal personally.

Still, it's sad to see so much Apple tech being life-limited due to aging batteries or what not.
I noticed this too. My two-pronged theory is:
- Many of these companies have IPO-ed recently, maybe employees with enough vested stock are just quitting
- Summer vacation - it's July, a lot of people are out of the office. In the US it's the July 4th Holiday in addition.
Maybe GP means older as middle aged. I'm 40, moved countries four times in the last ten years, and after moving back to the US three years ago I haven't made a single friend. Since I was able to make many friends elsewhere I place some of the blame on American culture, but a lot of it is simply that people over 35 are settled in their ways and don't go out much.
Also, the delicious boxed lunches sold everywhere, combined with the social stigma about eating them anywhere that is not a private space or a space already devoted to eating.
I think he’s exaggerating the effect of some of these claims. People who “grew up” learning R+Tidyverse will discriminate against non-Tidyverse users? Give me a break. You are either an advanced or competent or novice R user. You either understand how pipes (%>%) work or you don’t.

I doubt that anyone is going to be denied a job because they are an amazing R programmer but they just don’t have the experience with a particular set of packages, especially those that are as well implemented and easy to learn as the Tidyverse.

I can totally imagine someone not getting a job because they are a crap programmer, and then blaming it on something else. Or I can also imagine someone saying that the Tidyverse packages suck, and then be denied a job because of their attitude.

I could make a similar argument for most of the substantive claims in his post.

Some of these examples (dplyr vs. data.table) are cherry picked. I have several of my own examples where read_csv is way faster than read.csv, so maybe, like all good programmers, we should be testing and profiling our code and implementing the parts that make the most sense for our needs.

The bottom line is that the Tidyverse is a good set of packages and you are free to use them or not. There isn’t some blood feud (like vi vs. emacs) between users and non-users, we all get along just fine.

There are dozens of great tutorials on how to learn R that don’t use the Tidyverse, and RStudio is under no obligation to offer a full course on every possible way to learn R. Any R user is also a competent Google user.

It’s fine to be opinionated. But, a professor as respected as Norm Matloff should be careful of how they say things, or they risk souring their students on a set of packages that might be very useful in the future.
I am affected strongly by association. I concentrate fine at work, but in my bedroom, my brain can't get out of relaxation mode. It's constantly going "this is the room we sleep in, it must be time for sleep"

And I have gone to my car to study before. It works! Not everyone can have a home office.

I was lucky to have the opportunity to move into a 4Mx5M bedroom with room for a large desk, office chair, and couch, and it helps immensely.

The mind is powerful.
If things descend to that, you have bigger issues than the possibility of a nuclear accident.

Simply because it is very limiting. Running your own site, even on cheap shared hosting, opens up lots of exciting possibilities. With a bit of PHP and SQLite you can build lots of cool stuff (just like before WordPress came and made everything boring).

For simple sites, static is great, but if it becomes more complex (even just lots of pages sort of complex) then some sort of templating, even just through basic PHP includes, becomes very helpful to keep it maintainable. Example: I help look after a site with 3K static HTML pages and it is impossible to make any global changes without literally months of manual work. :(

For my own site I use a static site generator, which is another great option, but that comes with a much steeper learning curve unfortunately.
Excellent. You might also like R5RS or R7RS, plus `syntax-case` (though `syntax-rules` is very nice, when the problem fits it). For work that builds upon Scheme's syntax extension mechanisms, see Racket for ideas, including its syntax objects, very powerful `syntax-parse`, a very simple template-based syntax transformer, and the `#lang` feature.
I agree that OOP is limiting, but Functional is not the fix. Table-Oriented-Programming is the future. Your code snippets for validation etc. could be associated how your domain prefers, and you can query them to be together by field or by any other grouping as needed. You just have to make sure you have the proper meta-data in place, such as field name/ID, entity, screen, event type, etc.

File-centric code forces a hierarchical big picture structure, but many relationships are either not hierarchical, or need additional non-hierarchical ways to view/group them. Relational is more powerful and more flexible than file systems. (It has some rough areas, but they can be worked around or fixed.)

Start backward next time and think how you would LIKE your code organized, forgetting about frameworks you know. If you do this often enough, you'll realize RDBMS-based code management is where we should be heading. About 90% of validation and field management could also be attribute-driven: data-dictionaries would do most of the grunt work.

With OOP and FP you are forced into choices such as "should this be its own class, or an object instance, or a group of classes for composition?" etc. etc. When tablizing your event & validation snippets, you are not forced to choose. They are grouped "by" anything you want, and by multiple groupings at the same time: multiverse. I agree that FP is probably more flexible than OOP, but it's also less disciplined: large FP systems look like the spaghetti-pointer databases that preceded RDBMS. Hierarchical, logical, and pointer-based DB's thrived for a while, but relational won, for a reason.
Human factors.

It's easier to secure a massive plant than a thousand small ones.

Imagine the outcome of some underpaid and overworked cable runner digging into a buried mini-reactor with a JCB digger. Or a trucker falls asleep at the wheel and drives their Mack truck through an above-ground reactor.

The difference is between the media coverage being "Idiot drives truck into nuclear facility, is arrested, no damage" and "Idiot digs into mini-reactor, irradiates neighbourhood".

And that's before people start yelling "Not in my back yard!"
>This is FALSE.

How do you demonstrate that one case implies all cases?
It is possible to host multiple domains at the same IP address. In case a site uses e.g. Cloudfare, there can be a very large number of sites hosted at the same IP address.
Hence, it is not always possible to figure out what website is being visited based on the IP address.

The risk of a launch failure causing highly radioactive stuff to rain down on the surface of the earth is just WAY WAY bigger than the risk of some leak in a geological repository in 100k years (when practically all of the truly nasty stuff has long decayed away).

Since there are no side effects in Dhall you can always just impose an arbitrary timeout if you really want to.

IME, it's really rare to stumble upon pathological complexity like the Ackermann function. You basically have to go out of your way to do 'absurd' things.

(The point is of course taken, but personally I don't really care much about the TC-ness or otherwise of Dhall, though it is kind a nice-to-have to ensure that you don't accidentally introduce infinite loops.)
I haven't looked at capnproto recently, but just because it solves a similar problem doesn't mean there's no room for a different system.

The bespoke endpoint thing is a big part of what GraphQL avoids. It gives you something explorable, but as a team, you can decide how comprehensive you want it to be. If you have a monolithic database, you can use SQL to explore it, but GraphQL often sits in front of a service layer, which connects to my next point.

GraphQL's mutations often map to entire processes, which might change a data store, like a DML SQL operation, but also have other sorts of effects.
I imagine a QBist would say that when you performed your additional secret operations you gained more information and therefore you were able to develop more accurate beliefs.

Is your issue that a belief can be completely wrong, or rather that two people can hold diametrically opposing beliefs?

An age old joke in IT is that the biggest problem we face is users. If there weren't any users, we wouldn't have any problems.
Intriguingly, once iPadOS drops, an iPad Pro with a Brydge keyboard (https://www.brydge.com/products/brydge-12-9-ipad-pro-keyboar...) might work out pretty well as a modern notebook.

Then again, once iPadOS drops, iPads will have mouse support, so Brydge will probably come out with an even better keyboard case that actually has a trackpad. Probably best to wait and see.
Very poetic. Provides inspiration to look to our loved ones, find hope and strength in unity to have what impact and what joy we can
I can agree to "noone does that" but 100 000 years nuclear waste is not true.

ALMR reactors would use that waste to produce short half-live waste which radiation can even stop in the matter of hours...

Thats what Chinese invest into now and technology is 40 years old.

Technologically we are way past the "dirty&dengerous" nuclear reactors. ALMR also fixes issue of old nuclear reactors that could be shut down overtime.

People fear the second Chernobyl.. thats that why we dont invest into Nuclear Power that is our only chance in current age. There is no logic in that, only mass media, lobbing and disinformation going rampant..
Mozilla yes. Wikimedia gets most of its income from donations.
Is the scientific method really being applied here though? Certainly doesn't look like it.
The problem is that Apple has often been replacing logic boards when this type of thing happens as well. Some people see it as a good thing, but it usually results in the complete wipe of data.

Also there's obviously the idea where a keyboard shouldn't be failing after months of moderate use. Somehow, this seems to be a fairly modern problem as we've been making keyboards for 40+ years now.
Yes - Hans also said the same thing although indirectly.

His life work was reducing child mortality (under the age of 5.) He discovered that the biggest factor in reducing child mortality was the education level of the mother. It turns out that most child deaths are preventable if the mother understands how to prevent the death. For instance, dehydration due to diarrhea and vomiting can be prevented by sanitation. Also access to vaccines is linked to the education of the mother.

It goes without saying that access to birth control also plays a big factor. Melinda Gates tells a story about how she was talking to a group of African women about vaccines and what they really wanted was birth control so they could plan their family. They couldn't use condoms because culturally it implied they had AIDs. This also seems linked to education.
Because the licensing cost is the same per reactor, regardless of its power.
They probably aren't talking about the ones used as love hotels on wheels. They could even be inflating those other niche uses in front of the media, in order to distance themselves from that other use.
Secondary minor note: carbon neutral power sources (e.g. wind or solar) also have a carbon cost. It comes from building the damn thing and continuing to maintain it (e.g. new parts, setting up crane access...)

Well, the cat is out of the bag now. So we will have to find ways to deal with it rather than ignore it.
Yup. People tend to assume running your own site is difficult but running a static webserver is dead simple. As long as you don't involve all the unneeded dynamic language and database it's secure and doesn't really need updating all the time either.

90% of people can run a static web server on their home connection and it would fulfill their every requirement (as well as solving almost all 'problems' that exist on the web). Home connections of a couple megabits are certainly fast enough for a personal site.
I love Times Car Sharing and use it heavily, but I find the pricing structure a little bit obtuse:

There are various "packs" for example a 6 hour pack, 12 hour pack etc. The 6 hour pack means you don't get charged anything extra for fuel/kilometer. The other packs do charge you a fixed rate per kilometer.

There are also special packs at nighttime. The app doesn't really help you pick the best one for you or minimise your price.

Here's an example:

Book a car from 5.45 to 11.30. You're 15 minutes short of the 6 hour pack so you pay the basic time rate.

Now change the booking to 5.45 to 11.45. You now pay the 6 hour rate (4000 yen iirc).

Move the booking to 6 to midnight. Now you pay 2000 yen because it's night-time.

Overall I love the car sharing experience, it sure as hell beats paying 20,000 yen a month for a car parking space. I just wish they made this a bit clearer/easier to use.

> Gatekeeping is the only way communities can keep themselves healthy. There is no such thing as a universal 'community'.

[That's not the kind of gatekeeping I meant, but to your statement...] According to whom? That's one social philosophy, I suppose, but I'd call it more anti-social.

From day one, [human] life has been about sticking together to accomplish more than the sum of our parts. Outcasts aside, the idea that we have to keep others out to continue our way of life is dangerous and wrong, morally and practically.

I never have to "stitch together multiple invocations of jq using pipes". There was a time when I did have to, but that was years ago, and it now has the features needed to avoid that. Not sure what the point about typing was -- you can do the same derivation of data from a master entity with or without strong typing (though my preference is always for strong typing, which jq lacks).
Hi HN! At Callbell we are trying to build what I would define as Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp and Telegram made for teams. What we are trying to do is to re-think those 3 platforms for sales / support teams rather than 1to1 use.

Sorry for the pun here, heh but:

Simply because it is very limiting.

Seems like a limited/narrow definition of maintaining a website, just because there are different options of platforms and tools used to put content in the user's browser. Ultimately, for the browser, the result is the same, no?

Edit:

Following your edit, I can see an argument being made that maintaining static sites coming with a different workflow than maintaining a CMS and why some may not prefer it --personally, the mutability of the workflow for many of these stacks is the appeal of SSGs for me (especially, more recently 11ty[1] which I'm thinking of porting my personal site to).

You can sniff SNI which will still reveal hostnames. In certain cases though, you can use 'domain fronting'. That is using a different Host in the HTTPS header than is included in SNI. If that other hostname is served by the same ip address and certificate, then that server might just forward your HTTPS message to the host requested in the HTTPS header.
Very good point. Incremental safety measures with an eye to swaying public opinion is pretty pointless as public opinion changes very slowly I imagine and we must be hitting the law of diminishing returns w.r.t this particular set of tech.

On the other hand a pure win would be figuring out how to enlarge the market share of nuclear by persuading those who are already willing but balk at the large up-front costs, the insurance, the regulatory environment, the long planning processes (etc. etc. – basically everything but the tech).

If the USA and the EU both made a commitment to doubling the share of nuclear tech in their jurisdictions to combat climate change (and we're going to need loads of cheap juice to power all those EVs) by streamlining the processes and creating an Atoms for Peace mark II umbrella that would make this HNer a happy camper.

Don't see it happening unfortunately. Every time this topic comes up I get so disheartened.
