This is fucked up. At first I thought, of course this exists but no one would really fall for it. Scrolling through the offerings, I felt a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. Psychological warfare on-demand, only $50!
How is writing extra boilerplate tests better than saying what you mean in the primary code?
I've personally used a debit card (major bank, Visa logo) for Enterprise car rentals in the US. Perhaps this is either a Euro or Non-US problem?

They placed a $1 hold on the card. If memory serves, I've also done this with Hertz but to the tune of a $200 hold.
That appears unlikely:

Indeed. Cheaper to keep COBOL folks on staff and the mainframe running than to rewrite it (millions vs tens or hundreds of millions of dollars in costs).
i was about the type the same thing, have my upvote friend
You'd be surprised how often that is not true for secondary and support services.

In Canada we have many service providers (Interac and Symcor being two big examples)that are joint ventures between all the banks they service.

So things like (historically) bill printing and mailing and more currently fraud detection and various digital transformation initiatives are being done by these service providers, so that the banks don't all have to spend money on the same stuff separately (and can interoperate more easily).

As a bonus, they can also offer those services to other parties and increase profit for the bank owners.
Do you have the back cover ready for this book? The back of Game Programming Patterns makes me happy every time I see it.
This must explain why banks are so interested in blockchains.
Precisely. And the government should have a group with the proper qualifications to judge the merits of the advocacy of these other companies and advocate on the government's and people's behalf.
Ha, this makes me think of PingFS [1] where the data is in the latency of the network, whereas here the money is in the latency of the banks.

Why is someone posting this garbage?
I can think of something that will make you a little less worried.

What you're saying doesn't make sense. I like to think of myself as a fairly rational and intelligent human being. I'd say I'm pretty good at my software engineering job. That doesn't matter in this conversation though. There doesn't have to be any overlap between who I am professionally and who I am at home.
> different from composing in two network services on two different ports

I don't think this should be a thing anymore either. Container orchestration is slowly fixing this by default but really, it shouldn't be my server's business to track and figure out where all the other services are. That should be in one place. In production it should be owned by Ops. In local it should be optionally controlled by the dev.

The dev should only have to worry about server names when they're collaborating on a bug fix with the owner of a particular service. The rest of the time they should send it all to a single proxy on a single port, with everybody namespaced. Let the proxy talk to Consul or what have you to sort out the rest.

This is also one of the tricks you use to break up a monolith, but it has other uses as well.
In the US, it's FiServ and Early Warning Systems ("Zelle").
If you're sitting in the debugger for N seconds, there's a good chance the other side of the connection is going to give up based on in-band protocol anyway. If you want this to work, you really need a separate process local proxy that satisfies the liveness criteria of the other side, but lets you single step through your side. Of course, debugging the local proxy is an exercise left to the reader; you may need to study at the printf school of debugging.

False equivalence. Using models on a MySQL database is different than exploiting Facebook APIs and sharing voter information with foreign agencies.
So, basically all the stuff that's impossible to get 15 years after it happened. Yes it would be great to scientifically eliminate all other possibilities. But it's probably not going to happen. The paper is an attempt to treat the subject matter seriously with the limited amount of tangible information still available.
I got that error from another article linked to Wired from HN the other day. After a short time, I clicked again and all was fine.

Something wonky is going on there, since it probably shouldn't even be 404 unless they keep deleting their articles and then resurrecting them shortly thereafter (which would be just a little weird).
You are conflating dynamic types with weak types. Int is a relatively weak type and HttpPort is a strong type regardless whether static or dynamic
These types of things used to infuriate me. To stop them from ruining my mood on vacations I just account for them as "various other charges". It is sort of like tipping now.

For example, When you book a cruise, the price they give you doesn't bring up the fact that the cruise line also expects you to pay the wages for the wait staff and room stewards. If you bring a family of four (the charge is per person) on a 10+ night cruise (the charge is per night), that charge adds up quickly. Something like $15 charge * 4 people * 14 nights = $840 in charges. That can be a significant percentage of the cost of your entire cruise.

Yes, those in the know, realize that they can change the amount that you get charged by going to guest services - but now if you do adjust those fees... the Cruise line has effectively shifted the guilt of shafting these unfortunate and hard working souls on to you. Hope you sleep well at night. Ugh..

Now when I see these types of charges I just shake my head, sigh and move on. I just account for some percentage of unexpected charges such as these when I visit tourist hotspots - Resort fees, Cleaning Fees, Bag check fee, City fees, the list goes on and on and on. It's not right... but the way I see it I can either fret over all these fees, or just accept that they will be there if I travel to tourist hot spots. I don't really know of a solution.

They should add an “expose target to qanon and conspiracy theories”-option. There was an article not too long ago about what obsessing over this can do to personal relationships. It was not pretty.
This will probably only get more difficult as a bunch of AMD GPU engineers defected to Intel.

I'd still likely only go AMD GPUs in the near future, just because I don't have particularly demanding GPU requirements and they have better Linux drivers.

We got in to our Hawaii honeymoon at 10:30 pm, utterly exhausted and went to get the rental car. We had prebooked everything with an agency, but we had never traveled before, so we didn't know what to expect. They asked for $500 for insurance for the week. We felt sick, but we didn't know our options or what coverage we had, so we paid. We phoned our insurance agent the next morning, and realized we could drop a lot of that, so did the long drive back to the car rental place, but it was quite the eye opener. I'm still angry about it, and pretty sure even the reduced number was an absolute rip-off, but we just didn't know.

Combine that with the sudden resort fee we didn't know about until we got to the hotel, and we spent that first night and next morning wondering if we'd made a huge mistake.
If switching takes one hour, then ROI will be positive after less then two months. I start Thunderbird about 10 times per day. After two months that is:

8s * 10times * 30days * 2months
= 4800 seconds
= 1.3 hours.
This happened to me in Italy... i guess it was Avis? Not sure. They billed me 25E processing fee for providing to police my details, because apparently I got a parking ticket. Never got the ticket itself, either from Avis or from police.

The funny thing is that they managed to charge my card, although it was a debit card that had expired in the meanwhile, and the linked account had 0EUR on it (the bank gracefully paid them, then automatically converted money from my other accounts to cover for my now-negative account balance).
I was very skeptical of this machine and the whole Mac Pro as concept car idea [1] but the Afterburner Accelerator Card has me wondering if I was wrong. Especially if Apple finds a way to support more works flows and applications with it. That could be a real advantage moving forward and it’s not hard to understand how it could trickledown to other products.

On the topic of MUDs.

There's a 1 man developer who wrote not only his own MUD but tools to create and find MUDs to play[0].

It's all written in Elixir and open source[1]. He's given a couple of talks[2] about it and does some living code on Twitch.

I have no affiliation with the author but I did watch some of his talks just for fun.

If you look at the 2012 Tesla dashboard, you'll see that it's influenced by really aged design patterns, it's good that they iterate on the UI as long as it's kept in check and doesn't become a Windows 7 to Windows 8 fiasco.
Not just a security risk; a securities risk. Banks are forbidden by antitrust and securities laws from some classes of collective trading action, and being able to see each other's account balances openly really skirts that law.
Is there anything stopping someone from abusing paid ad services for any of these platforms themselves to the same effect? This is assuming that they allow you to finely target the ads which I believe they do.
A positive way to think about it is that now everyone can be their own Rupert Murdoch and control public discourse in their own small way. It's basically democratizing the ability to influence political thought.

Of course as other commenters are positing - there are definitively many negative ways to look at it that are more realistic.
Doing legal drugs also have a clear danger of bodily harm due to allowed substances. From cigarettes, Asprin and a host of other allowed substances can cause real harm.

The issue noted with carts can be traced back to the illegality of the drugs in question causing a market that allows this to flourish.

Accute toxicity will be a few % of that. Assuming the conversion efficency is reasonable, chronically inhaling a few ppm of HCN would be bad. Possibly as bad as chronically inhailing high concentrations of aerosolized thermally degraded oils.
The big problem with a chronological timeline is that it doesn’t scale very well. It can quickly overwhelm you with mostly stuff you aren’t interested in.

I dunno what the solution to this is. How it works now also annoys me because it often hides things/people I would be very interested in. But at the same time I don’t have time to look at everything.

It is a tough problem and no matter what you do there are positives and negatives. No silver bullet.
Hmm, I’m curious using this on oneself to encourage pro-social behavior or reinforce new habits.

Would it have a known placebo effect where even if you knew it was spun you’d still be influenced?

"2) a linked image where the image is the ONLY thing within the link, in which case the alt text should describe the destination of the link, not the contents of the image. I just recently learned this, but it makes sense when you think about it. "

Yeah. Good stuff. Thx.

p.s. Best I can tell most images are decorative. That is, they are there for the visual appeal, to create "white space", etc. It's fairly rarely they actually contain content. Of course, there are exceptions, but in general.

Ask HN: How to calculate fair share of this ride?
John and Cindy needed to travel from a place A.
John had to go to place B; Cindy to C.
Both got into a taxi and went together to B first. John dropped off at B. Cindy said to John that she would pay the driver for the whole trip, and John could pay his share of the ride to her later, since the cost for whole trip would be known only after reaching C.
Cindy continued the journey and got down at C. She paid $280 to the driver for the whole trip from A to B to C.
Following are the rates for DIRECT trips:
A to B - $160;
B to C - $170;
A to C - $250;

How much should John pay Cindy so that both bear their fair share of the ride?
Who cares about weapon power? We already have _ridiculously_ and _maximally_ powerful weapons now. Our urge to kill one another is no longer constrained by the limits of our tools. It doesn't matter whether we're able to make even more powerful weapons.
Zelle uses ACH, though their faster front end process may combat kiting. Other banks are moving to RTP which will not use ACH for the actual money transfer.

>Mason's team was able to identify specific plastics over 100 microns (0.10 mm) in size but not smaller particles. According to experts contacted by CBC News, there is a chance the Nile Red dye is adhering to another unknown substance other than plastic.

>Mason leaves open that possibility but leans strongly to the smaller particles being plastic.

>The developer of the Nile Red method agrees.

>Fluorescing particles that were too small to be analyzed should be called "probable microplastic," said Andrew Mayes, senior lecturer in chemistry at the University of East Anglia in the U.K.
Cute, but no other part can proclaim, tell, shout or consider (equations are a notation - a language).

I do agree language is overrated. In some ways, it is a receptacle for thought rather than thought itself.
Relevant ancient prophesy... https://www.javaworld.com/article/2076641/an-introduction-to...
The solution is regulation. We should have a rule along the lines of "you can only be charged once for a service". Meaning, if you charge me for a car rental and I have successfully paid, then that's it. You can't then hold back the service because you need a second charge. Same thing with hotels. If I book my hotel on Expedia and pay the charge there, you cannot charge me again when I show up to check in.
Gosh, if only that system didn't have its own huge set of drawbacks.
An Introduction to the Java Ring
Did you have to get a new car insurance as you entered a new country or is there another way to do it?
The dynamic gets really interesting - I play Final Fantasy 14, and looking at content you can tell the moment they switched the core of their monetization strategy from subscription fees to optional cosmetics. The game got tighter and way less grindy and repetitive; the later expansions are significantly better games for it (so much so that the devs are actually talking about going back and cutting out a bunch of the earlier grind for newer players, since it's notorious for putting people off).
So let's keep this service only accessible to the wealthy and influential? It might be a good thing that you can point to a consumer facing website like this and say "look, anyone can gaslight you for cheap, anyone!"
Well I think it’s definitely questionable to go on a fishing expedition without any evidence.

But I don’t think it can be bad to ask someone to investigate if a known extortionate action was undertaken for a corrupt cause when we have direct evidence that there was a large personal financial benefit received.
Absolutely. The problem is only going to become much worse now, due to banning sales of legal/regulated products. Relatedly, Massachusetts governor just announced a 4 month total ban on ALL vaporizer products (THC, Nicotine, flavored, unflavored) despite zero Massachusetts vape deaths, so consumers will now be turning either to cigarettes (which kill 1,300 people per DAY nationwide) or black market THC/Nicotine vaporizers which are the very likely causes of the current unknown illnesses and deaths as you mention.
And it literally starts by you sending them an "innocuous looking" link. How does someone actually justify to themselves that doing something like this is even slightly okay? I'd feel deeply disturbed doing this to someone even if it was for a "good cause" like getting them to quit smoking.
Red Hat doesn't have developers to support Btrfs, and it takes a lot of support if you're going to depend on constant backporting of fixes and features. All the major work on Btrfs happens upstream and RHEL kernels just aren't anywhere close to that. So to support this in an enterprise context with support plans, you'd have to have many knowledgable Btrfs developer and support staff.

Obviously it is going somewhere, upstream is very active, and SUSE uses it by default everywhere both enterprise and openSUSE. And they have the developers to support it. Facebook uses Btrfs quite a lot in production both servers and desktops.
I would be super surprised if they _did_ that seems like a massive amount of work for not much gain.

Maybe something like logistics (i.e., bag went out for delivery on truck FOO) but I doubt they track everyone that has had access to it.

It's not where we're headed, it's where we're at right now.

There are many, many examples of this behavior in new markets (e.g. railroads, search engines), which is eventually followed by market consensus around a small number of winners and a market consolidation.

I don't see any reason the examples you mentioned will be different.
I remember seeing my mother writing a check once. It must have been in the late eighties. I'm quite confident that nobody I know of my age has ever written check. That check floating is still a thing is quite amazing to consider.

Honestly, that is not true. As someone who had to interface with these systems, the cumulative cost of keeping them running is far greater. There are number of layers which run of top of them to support modern age use cases. The problem is no CEO/CTO at big banks who wants to keep their job is going to pull the trigger and transform it, as most likely that project will run over budget and is risky.

This part caught my eye:

"The +++s are like --- in Jekyll, and the metadata is in TOML instead of YAML"

Why does it seem like every other day a new mark-up comes around, with its own syntax, often (in this case) the exact opposite symbols. I mean, I guess "markup is hard" or something along those lines, but it doesn't appear to be to me.

I just want to say thank you for you great replies throughout this thread. There is too much simplification of this incident everywhere in the media, and even in technical circles to "Boeing put out a horrible design because of cost cutting that killed people".

I fail to see what about my response was what about ism.

The OP asked if the President is above the law. Democrats are currently trying to impeach the President for asking Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden. I think we are talking about the exact topic at hand, not some unrelated “what about”.
Gaslighting usually involves lying about past interactions, not surrounding a person with persuasive material.
That would make for an interesting story for sure.

The reality isn't so glamorous. The phone was stolen because I left it inside of a restroom stall. The particular restroom was one that's very secluded. Most people there didn't know about it, to the extent that, the only people I saw there with any regualrity were the janitors whose job was to routinely clean the place. Not sure what else to say besides that what you're suggesting is extremely unlikely.
