Schwab does have notifications for using the debit card. The issue is that credit card payments and other ACH transactions don't have alerts.

My other accounts notify for every transaction and even the interest credited at the end of the month.

And you can't pay everything with credit cards: landlords, the IRS, utilities, ... there are services like Plastiq but then you have to pay the overhead too.
I was sort of in a similar situation when I was your age - in over my head at a complex project where the owner had never heard of version control (though in my case, I was too green to realize that it even existed). They had 30 copies of the same software, one in a folder on a shared hard drive for each customer. If there was a bug and it wasn't specific to a customer, you had to go fix it in 30 different places.

I promise you, if they don't want to provide version control they aren't going to provide you with other benefits and necessities that you deserve.

Related questions to benefits and necessities:

* Are you getting healthcare?
* How is your pay compared to other Jr. software engineers in your area?
* Are they paying you hourly? If so, are they actually paying you for hours worked, or are they finding ways to reduce that number of hours?
* What if you demanded that they used version control, and brought your best arguments: what would they say?

Consider the answers to those questions, and if you don't like the answers, I strongly urge you to leave. There's a complacency that can come with "settling" for a place that is a "known constant." Don't settle here, when you deserve more.

Put what you've done on a resume, and give it to a headhunter. They will find you a better job - maybe not an ideal job, but a step up. And your career will truly begin.
Agreed! I had listed it as an "honorable mention" on my response, but I think they only wanted one book per person.

You should do some actual research on what exactly the culture in Tibet was like before China took over. Not excusing the behavior of the CCP but look up what the lamas were doing back in the day.

It wasn't some Hollywood "paradise" like most people believe.
There should be a disclaimer that these are mostly self-help books. I don't personally find these books useful.
I believe this rationale originates from Simon Baron-Cohen who pioneered several salient in-vogue or influential ideas in psychology. He was the one who came up with the idea of autism reflecting an 'extreme male brain'. More specifically he kind of uses the term 'extreme male' as magnified version of 'male brain' which trends towards systematization rather than empathizing. Around the time he formulated these theories I believe he conducted some studies trying to correlate testosterone levels or exposures in early ages and ToM deficit or something like that. I believe his results have been repeatedly challenged, but perhaps not been utterly conclusive. This study perhaps may be the nail in the coffin.

Memento - A better alternative to skim-reading the news
Windows management in macOS is downright awful and has been that way for years.

It's come to a point where all serious productivity work I do is done on my Windows computer.

I've also recently ventured into building my own PC and realized how much power you can get for peanuts with the right configuration. My last Ryzen 3700x build is faster than any Mac I've ever owned and costs 1/3rd.

Between all this and the horrible butterfly keyboard, I might be off the Apple train for good

A computer shouldn't struggle updating 30 smaller components. It's not DOM I'm talking about it's React, so not sure you even understood me.

I've written more React than most people, and am very intimately familiar with the internals, optimization and more.

With enough effort you can usually mitigate most of it, but I'm going as far as doing static compilation optimizations just to get it to feel good.
You are correct, it is determined by spin. However, for some reason that has never been explained to me, we define galaxies to spin in the opposite direction from planets.

I use FF, DDG, and Sublime. I do still use gmail and i have an android phone I've had for a couple of years (some moto something or another). I'm definitely considering how to extricate myself from google's grasp, but gmail is just massively technically superior to other solutions I've looked at. And Apple just rubs me the wrong way. I've never been a fan of their products, especially the way they price gouge.

And so it is that I have partially reduced my dependence on google... I hope to finish some day.
It's how innovation happened throughout human history. The entire oh so celebrated age of enlightenment happened this way.

I decided to make an account to comment on this. Build things, put them on github, write 500 words about it, add to resume, repeat.
The classic example where I live is where a farmer went over the handlebars of his farm bike, head first into a shallow hole the ground, and his helmet caught in the hole causing it to snap his neck. The argument then was that if he hadn't been wearing a helmet his head wouldn't have been stuck and he'd have survived. Of course, your chances of simply being killed by a blow to the head when crashing a bike are far far higher than your chances of getting your helmet wedged in precisely the wrong sized hole, so helmets are still a huge win.

Likewise with seatbelts people always worry about what would happen if they're T-boned off a pier into deep water, or something similarly unlikely, when chances are they're just going to drive into the back of someone and the seat belt would save them.

The glass factory example seems odd, though - in that environment wouldn't you be wearing high cut leather workboots, such that any glass falling on them would just flow/bounce off?

I’d even call it intentionally designed to be bad, because they don’t want you to use it. Which is the opposite of what the parent comment is implying. They have the ability to port over the full Magic Mouse/Trackpad drivers from macOS with intuitive scrolling and gestures, but they chose to leave them broken and awful to use.

Hi,
Can I reach out about a mech-eng position?
It's not just the first tweet, read the whole thread.

> The Portuguese-Spanish border follows river valleys and is not associated with abrupt changes in climate or land-use.

> The reasons for the mismatch are historical. In 2001, Europe’s answer to the mad-cow disease (BSE) crisis was banning the abandonment of dead livestock. [...]
[Conservationists] convinced European Union legislators to delegate the choice to member states. Some countries, like Spain, resumed cattle abandonment under special conditions. Portugal never changed its laws.
Go to Japan. A number of Panasonic, Fujitsu & Sony laptops are made there that are only ever sold in the domestic market because of the high costs. Though for the build quality they are still not too bad in terms of value.

Of course their displays and RAM are probably made in Korea or China as are the SSDs and I've never pulled one apart to check the motherboard and battery providence...

However they are definitely assembled in Japan.
I somehow missed that. His proposal sounds much more narrow however, targeting only companies that have become a "sole provider of some functions". I do think breaking up the monopoly is a no-brainer in this scenario.
...and then started working on rejoining it, before terminating the project in July this year.

Fun anecdote: In 2010, it was Sergey Brin (now a president of Alphabet) who drove Google's withdrawal from China. In 2018, in what I'm sure is just a coincidence, the public found out that Google's project shares the name with Brin's yacht: Dragonfly.
It is clearly political, and not so universal either by the way:

Okay, but what you're still doing here is conflating Chinese businesses and the Chinese government together into a singular source.

Again, it's totally fine if you want to argue that as I agree there's some merit to the idea, but from your first sentence, it seems like that isn't what you're trying to say.
The Dip by Seth Godin is perhaps the essential book for an 'indie hacker'.

It sounds like they're an American version of Monzo. Monzo started out by issuing Mastercard credit cards with a cool app but have since been granted a proper banking license and are now a proper bank. Monzo also wrote their own software.

In other words, Brex may not be a bank yet but don't wrote them off as smoke and mirrors either.

Note - Vietnam has an FTA with India (unlike China), and so this also helps it fight back against Chinese smartphone players that are currently dominating in India AND it also works as a bargaining chip with the Indian govt. for tax incentives. IIRC they moved their television assembly back to Vietnam in retaliation for some failed deal last year.

Might be a good idea too, the Indian state is a moronic rent-seeking state whose sole purpose it'd often appear is to run a leaky incompetent "welfare state" simply in order to support of its political masters.
On my last job, a new manager called me for a meeting on Friday 4PM. I spent the whole month on an extremely stressful project.

The meeting was about an app that integrates credit card payments, billets and bank account on a terminal that is going to be available to the general public.

The deadline? 11PM of the same day. Final version. From 0 to 100% in 6 hours.

I said that it was impossible. He said that I was incapable.

I remember coming back home with a feeling that I was incompetent, even with my 11 years of experience with JavaScript. I didn't sleep that night, trying to build it even with delay.

Saturday morning I had a burnout. I was afraid to lose my job because I sustain my family. I thought throwing myself from my apartment window. That was one of the worst days in my life.

I got fired on Monday morning.

Got another job on the same day. Almost twice the salary.I told them that I need a little time to cleanup my mind and they gave 2 weeks to recover from that situation.

I'm happy now.
We have multiple Meteor production apps. It's by far the best developer experience I know about in the JS world. Zero config build tooling. Easy reactive queries. Saying it got steamrolled by npm, mongo and react doesn't make sense. In the end it's a node application and so you can use any npm package. It's preferred view layer is react and you kinda have to use mongo.
How to Create PDF in Lambda Using Puppeteer
You might check out Ally/Marcus/one of the other online-only banks. They're not convenient for things like cashiers checks (for getting an apartment), so I'd get an account at a bigger national bank as well, but I keep most savings in online banks, and then transfer to a national chain account when I know I'll need convenient access. And they tend to be incredibly convenient to apply for.

Taken out of context, I agree with you.

But this conversation has been about them saying they need to learn more before they can get a new job, and me replying that they shouldn't use that as an excuse to procrastinate. Thus the `need to pad my resume` comment.
A free press is still accountable to the law. If the press slanders somebody, or publishes illegal content they are liable for it. That is, unless they publish it as user generated content, which was a legal loophole created in the mid 90s to protect websites from liability for user submitted comments. It used to be that if you did not moderate the comments, you were not liable for them (think net neutrality), as you were simply acting as a common carrier. Since that law was passed, you are now free to moderate and editorialize user generated content in any way you see fit, as well as enjoy complete immunity from all liability that would otherwise be associated with that (think the exact opposite of net neutrality).
Researchers “Translate” Bat Talk. Turns Out, They Argue–A Lot (2016)
This has always been the case. There have always been pressures to conform to social norms and stiff penalties for those who did not.

What has changed is not that people are stricter, it's that what's accepted as normal has changed. The world has turned, and some folks suddenly find themselves in the out group for the first time.
Not just the US. I think this is being driven by the social dynamics of the Internet. Things like filter bubbles and click-driven journalism. Social networks like Facebook and Twitter shape discussions in particular ways that are very different than offline.
Hardline capitalism assumes rational actors act with the information they have and assumes information asymmetry. The only way a price is agreed upon is with information asymmetry and rational actors: the buyer values obtaining an item in a certain way and the seller values getting rid of the same item a certain way. It matters not what those reasons are, nor that each side know the details of what leads to a narrow spread, only that the desired price itself be made public, shared with the other party. Hardline capitalism assumes the only important piece of shared information is the price.

Rational actors and own-self-best-interest isn't about common, specific, long-term positions that an entire population might share (like increasing debt load is bad, or that having the most cash saved is good), only that the choice of price is set based on a number of variables, both internal and external to the actor. A desperate buyer might set their offer price high in order to attract sellers when there are none, despite not being able to pay (which is handled, positively or negatively, in other ways). A desperate seller might set their ask price really low because they have to get rid of inventory. Getting something "for a good price" is about the utility that comes about from having the exchange takes place vs not having the exchange takes place and each party being worse of. An addict might not be making the best decision for themselves and their livelihood but is making a rational decision if their goal is to get high.

But hardline capitalism isn't necessarily the thing we want, because of the chance for abuse of the information asymmetry and that, while everything is encoded in the price, extracting and understanding those details and position of the other side is impossible.
Sorry, n00b here, but a friend was telling me about a new version of Internet Protocol that fixes man in the middle attacks, like deep packet inspection. Is that realistically coming anytime soon?
If you say that it fails in practice, is that your opinion or is that a general opinion? Presumably, in some cases the regulation that you mention works the way it was intended?

I wouldn't mind not working in the notice period; it would be a plus for me. The other question is also of course: What kind of a law should supercede such a law?

I am not saying I disagree with you or anything like that, but what I am saying is that developing countries (for example) usually have concrete problems that make some scenarios around regulation in developed countries look somehow immaterial or even amusing.

By the way, newer labour regulation in South Africa are also causing problems. Our particular problem is that you don't want to hire people anyway; you would rather downscale. If you hire someone who turns out to be a incapable employee, you have a harder time letting them go. This disincentivises "giving someone a chance" with an uncertain ability or a unusual background.

But we have >60% youth unemployment (I think that is defined as aged 18–35) and that overrides most arguments or high level laws—there are simply more pressing matters at hand.
> JavaScript numbers are a mess. Next a bit of arithmetics.

They aren't a mess. Every programming platform has limits on number sizes. In JavaScript numbers are floating point values, but you can get a guarantee of integer precision within the scope of Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER and Number.isSafeInteger. Is that a mess? I'm not one to defend JavaScript, it has lots of problems, but in this case the behavior works as defined in the specification and is predictable.
For the record, I think both of these derogatory connotations are crap, and I run a "feature" startup myself. Fortunately, we don't need venture investment since we're running breakeven. Even with issued patents and paid licensees, it's nigh impossible to find VCs interested in a feature company.

The Paradox of Scale (2018)
In the sense that it would give the wealthy an unreasonable advantage to stay wealthy forever and mean an end to social mobility, which would in turn lead to a feudal social class system, yes.

The thing is though, money does that already if your society doesn't have strong inheritance taxation, so I'm not sure it's really such a problem.

Judging by the video they achieve 83% success rate with a pool of 8 people in what looks like perfect conditions (only one person, no perturbation of any kind etc...). The video also states, rather suspiciously IMO, that "This scene on the other side is shown solely for presentation and was not used for identification". Why not show the actual footage of the experiment?

>The lab has tested their new technology on 1,488 WiFi-video pairs, drawn from a pool of eight people, and in three different behind-wall areas, and achieved an overall accuracy of 84% in correctly identifying the person behind the wall.

What does it mean exactly? They only need one short video and one short wifi capture to get 84% success rate? That's what the video seems to imply but I find that very hard to believe. Or maybe it's just because it's fairly easy to distinguish among 8 people (especially if they have significantly different body types) and it won't work quite as well at large. I can identify my girlfriend's footsteps in the staircase with remarkable accuracy but I can guarantee you that it won't scale to the general population.

Maybe it works better than I give it credit for but they need to bring up better evidence IMO.
> The question you should ask yourself is: in what kind of society do I want to live and do my actions contribute to it and if so at what cost? What if everybody acted like I did?

But then of course this is the wrong question to ask. This is nothing more but a complicated version of a multi-party, repeated Prisoner's Dilemma problem. Except that you don't know your negative payoff when an opponent chooses to defect, but it may well be minus infinity (you get holocausted or nuked into paleolith). And then defection by any single party gets you the negative payoff. So if you only ask the question you suggest and ignore the rest of the options, you are doomed.

I'm afraid that the world's politicians (most of them at least) are completely sane, and all this "race to the bottom" stuff going on is just the result of the game theory & life being what it is.
