I don't like to see wasm replacing native for stuff like development tooling, and desktop apps.

JITs may approach native performance in theory - but the battery consumption and memory consumption are not very good. ("Better than JS" is a low bar).

As hardware becomes stronger, I would like to do more with it, and when it comes to portable devices, I want more battery life. Nothing justifies compiling same code again and again, or downloading pages again and again like "web apps" shit.

I understand where developer productivity argument comes from. But we can have both efficiency and developer productivity - it is a problem with webshit-grade stacks that are used today that you can't have both.

I personally think flutter model is future. You need not strive for "build once - run anywhere". You can write once and build anywhere a cross platform HLL and that's better.

As for sandboxing, maybe it is that your OS sucks (I say this as linux user); Android / iOS have sandboxing with native code. You shouldn't need to waste energy and RAM for security. IMO enforcing W^X along with permission based sandboxing is better than webassembly bullshit that is pushed.

And webassembly itself seems to be a rudimentary project with over ambitious goals. JS bridge being so slow and not having GC support ("To be designed" state) make it unusable for many purpose. Outside HN echo chamber, not many web people want to write in rust or even C++.

Just curious. A lot of software has these two types of ways to describe things (email clients, bookmark managers, filesystem browsers, note taking apps, etc) and I've never really settled on a sane way to combine them for managing my things. I end up with weird hierarchies and inconsistent conventions. Anyone have a system that takes advantage of both and works well? Or anyone ever participated in building such labelling features and could shed light on what the intended usage is?
Fpgas are too expensive, power hungry, and large. We use them for many tasks at my workplace and we are spinning up an ASIC team because using fpgas just doesn't meet our power and size requirements. Also, building asics can be cheaper in the long run if the future of what needs to be done is relatively stable.

This is why I use Paypal for recurring services when possible. One list of all the items, and you can cancel the payment there easily.

Dodgy companies like the New York Times even do offline transactions to successfully charge canceled cards. I was able to cancel it by changing payment to Paypal.
That really is sad. Reading through this post, it's clear that this company is one of those "hip" places that tries to be cool, but of course comes off as slightly lame. Lamer still is this person who complains about it.

Yeah, especially since she mentioned that there seemed to be "junior" (possibly new college hires) programmers in the mix. Sometimes when you're senior you just gotta roll your eyes and sit through the BS.

Since it's done so rarely and tends to be unique to the employee--onboarding ALWAYS results in a disaster somewhere--as a manager it's my job to make sure that I put the fire out, squash the problems, and get my new employees up and running.
Misleading title. Here I thought I could be charged by the hour. That would actually make me get netflix, finally.

But I don't think it's worth 5 euro or 11 euro a month because I only enjoy a very small portion of media.

So far it's easier to pirate.

And I'm far too used to the situation where a friend wants to put something on from netflix and it's not available. What's the point of paying 11 euro a month when you're restricted to such a small library?

Rockefeller and other billionaires are class of people who collect cultural artifacts and value give them absurdly high valuations without making money out of them. They signal their peers that money does not matter to them using art.

99% of what gives art it's value is that it's collectible and can't be owned by others. Today you can take a good photo of the painting, or replicate statue so well that you need expert to find out it's not the original. Being a good replication will not decrease aesthetic value of art, it just decreases the collectible value and social prestige from owning it (masses can't own originals).

Valuing 'original' is capitalistic invention.

- When a purchase is complete, Paddle can send a web hook to your own server that stores the subscription data e.g. username, subscription expiration date.

- In the extension, get the user to log-in via your server, which includes checking the subscription is still valid e.g. log-in can be via email which you can link to the email used to buy the subscription.

- When the subscription expiration date changes, Paddle will send another web hook to your server to update the subscription data.

The type of relationship is different, but the example still holds. Having a profile at all can and likely will be viewed as an indicator of intention to leave the current relationship for a new relationship. This was how it was viewed having a resume profile on sites like Monster and CareerBuilder before LinkedIn made it the norm to have a public resume.

Time frame is also very important. Example, a user has been with the company for over a decade, but the product has only been around for a few years. Or if one of the "achievements" was a test that was added recently.
I also use colemak and a kinesis and I honestly think it was the best decision of my career. I held off on buying a kinesis for a long time because they’re expensive and I greatly regret doing that. Its not at all about speed for me and I don’t know my WPM, its about comfort and avoiding RSI (I’ve had some problems in the past).

Now when I see people hammering their crappy keyboards, my fingers hurt for them and I wonder why more people who need their hands to work don’t invest in protecting them, but I get it, because I held off buying my kinesis for years due to the cost...
I'm not an expert in the direct applicability of GDPR, but my understanding is a European, living in Europe at the time this change happens (but who was perhaps doing an online job hunt, considering a move) might still be covered. Admittedly this is an edge case, but it's not one I'd want to risk in the era of extraterritorial enforcement of various privacy laws.

No answer I give will satisfy you morally. I've been pirating since tapes on C64 in the 80s so I'm afraid we're just going to have to agree to disagree as they say.
I have a TripleByte profile. Am I job hunting? This is not a hypothetical. I really do have a profile.
I am from EU, I live in Switzerland and I can tell it clearly is a GDPR violation. I’ve just sent a reply email and a account deletion request. The govt ID thing is shady, given the fact that they never requested it at sign up and that wouldn’t serve as a proof. I hope they will delete my account by the mentioned 30 days or I will fill a lawsuit. Besides common sense, privacy and trust do not work like that, at least in Switzerland and in EU. As a user, I would have been so happy to be informed about this important step (which is actually exciting) of a company I liked. And I would have been so happy to be actively involved and engaged in this step by being guided into discovering the new features / roadmap and THEN make my own decision about the opt-in. That would have been a huge win-win. I am wondering if it’s a lack of common sense or the pressure or VC funding here. That’s a pity for what I’ve considered a good company, and I hope they will revert this decision.
No, that's cats.
One reason I try to never give my card to lots of websites. If they have paypal, good. Or playstore subscription, sure. A one time/non recurring payment via a platform/provider/bank, ok.

But never the card. Reading such user horror stories, or Terms & Conditions, makes me turn around and never come back.

If you're comparing this to a normal DB, the biggest worry should be that it's not ACID compliant. Definitely something to consider if your data is important. The limitations for KV is listed here: https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/about/limits#kv

You should also consider how you intend to backup the data as there currently isn't a process to do that outside of writing something yourself to periodically download the keys. This will add to your usage cost depending on what your strategy is, for example, backing up old keys that gets updated vs only new keys by keeping track of the cursor.
It's ironic to try and fit as many software developers in a floorspace as you can, when their productivity more than linearly drops like that. You could do with a few, actually focusing people.
Is that a difficult problem? I'd be interested to hear what they got stuck on. I guess I naively imagine that in a world of text chat and voice to text it would be pretty doable.
I meant the culture is diseased. You could have a company with a healthy culture that ends up in a very bad situation and deals with it in a more ethical way. See Airbnb. Can you imagine accepting to fire half your staff and still getting full pay?
Do you have a reference for such a barebones git setup anywhere? I’d love to get rid of Gitea currently in use for the team and replace it with simple Git + SSH. We don’t need branch level access control.

That really depends on the cell type. With OPzS they’re rated to 80% DoD, with C100 as the standard capacity rating used. You’re right that plenty of traction and gel cells get pretty tired pretty quickly with moderately deep cycles - I’ve just educated a friend on exactly this, as he killed two 12v batteries inside of six months by undersizing his storage and drawing too deep - 70% DoD daily on AGM batteries is murder.

In our application, we rarely go below 20% DoD - but we could take them much, much deeper without unexpected implications for their life.

The other nice thing about OPzS is they they’re each a single 2V cell. Means you can monitor for and track down individual duff cells, rather than having a whole battery fail. After 9 months, ours are still perfectly balanced, gravities all identical when charged to when they were new, literally zero problems.
Agreed. This is fairly egregious misconfiguration.

But it's also unsafe from the Go client/ connection pool to expect idle sockets to stay open indefinitely -- any firewall or network appliance traversal would be highly likely to invalidate that.

Basic database connection pooling. Sigh.
To me, the answer here is “kinda but no”. Math in its most basic level is about studying logical connections. Sometimes being able to symbolize something in notation allows inspection of logical objects otherwise unobservable - like higher dimensional objects. But there’s the whole area of mathematical logic. I think I can say Godels incompleteness/inconsistency theorem was only about axiomatic systems with no necessary connection to geometry. Mathematics loves to study logical reductions of things and geometry can certainly be left out through reductions.

There’s something of a geometry/algebra separation in mathematics, too. The last few centuries (?) have tended toward algebraic research at the exclusion of geometry. There’s even reason to believe the two types of reasoning are separated in human brains in so far as people tend to be good at one and less good at the other.

Companies that are worth a shit don't retaliate against people for looking at other opportunities. That's precisely why your Tinder example is not just off base, it's wrong.

Another way to look at it: either you're a replaceable cog, or you're essential to running the business. If you're essential, they're going to do whatever they can to keep you. If you're replaceable, they probably don't care that much whether you in particular stay or go, but it will certainly cost money to replace you, which they'd rather avoid spending.

Only a completely irrational company would cut someone loose just because an online profile with that person's name on it appeared somewhere.

What option is cheapest will depend on volume of transaction value you expect to process. May also depend on how risky the transfers are.

For very low transaction volume your costs to set up the integration in first place may dominate the total cost, not the per transaction fee.

If you have high transaction volume you could shop around different payment providers for customised quotes.

For sufficiently high transaction volume it might be cheaper for your business to internalise some or all of the work to process the payments, but at that point you would need to be setting up systems to solve many of the problems that payment processors deal with.
When i made a meeting room reservation chatbot the hardest part was managing a conversational context without the user getting stuck.

In the end I had a “draft booking” and a conversation loop, where the bot would repeatedly ask to fill in missing parts (eg nr of participants) and then give you a summary and opportunity to correct things. It was hard to do, and definitely required a lot of contextual understanding of how people book meeting rooms. That approach doesn’t scale up well.

I think the basic problem is being stuck in a local optimum. The scripted bot approach doesn’t scale to complex conversations, and you need to start from scratch to do better.

I am pretty sure you can end up in the sort of situation where ordering 3000 costs less than ordering 2500 on Digikey, and in my experience the same goes for other major component distributors like Mouser.

It seems to me like it kind of promotes waste since one ends up ordering components that they may have no use for, but maybe it is not that big of a deal since it is common to want to have some amount of spare components when doing a production run. Personally, even if I only need a single unit of some little surface mount resistor or ceramic capacitor I usually buy 100 since the price tends to be like $0.10 each for <10 versus $0.50 for 100, and I can just add the excess to my spare parts collection.
