Based on your description, you have one debit card and one credit card.

If it says debit on the front of the card, it is debit.

I’ve never seen this work in person, but some people claim their debit card worked as a credit card and whatnot. Even if that is true, all merchant systems I’ve worked with allow the merchant/cardholder to select debit or restrict transactions to only debit.
Is there any specific thing that makes it ugly? I'm curious because I don't see the ugliness.

Since I use Firefox 99% of the time, I just opened Chrome and Edge to check out their address bars. All three are extremely similar. In Chrome and Edge the borders are more rounded, while Firefox opts for a more square look. All three feature a "popup" effect that makes the bar slightly bigger when interacting with it: in Firefox this effect activates when clicking the bar, while the other two enlarge when inputting data.
I see their still pushing Pocket recommendations, I still find that choice baffling.
> and doesn't depend significantly on how many cores are active, and doesn't let the chip exceed its nominal TDP for short (or not so short) bursts the way x86 processors do

Either that, or 3 GHz always exceeds the envelope and the chip is throttling clocks down all the time to keep itself inside the allowed power envelope.
Sprawl definitely plays a large part in this. In the suburbs, grocery stores are exceptionally common. There are 2 within walking distance of my house. I would pass by several large grocery stores before I hit a convenience store. It's also worth pointing out that the chains in this article aren't merely convenience stores, they're discount stores. They basically sell the cheapest version of everything. Their purpose is less about convenience, and more about competing on price. Convenience stores still thrive in American suburbia, just not in the places you think. Pharmacies typically also serve as a convenience store, selling non-perishable groceries, drinks, snacks, etc, etc. Gas stations typically have a selection of drinks and snacks, and usually very light groceries like salt, bread, and some pre-packaged "just add water" type meals. If you're not deep in a housing development, you're rarely more than a couple of blocks from somewhere you could buy bread and beer.

There is also a negative perception of corner stores that makes them an undesirable part of many people's communities. They're associated with poverty, which creates a reinforcing cycle where wealthier neighborhoods will fight their existence, making them further associated with poverty.

In a small group your social relationship with every other person matters, as you're going to be seeing them again, and you're also more familiar with them as a person. It's kind of like being rude to someone living in a small town vs a city. In the town being rude to someone might follow you for years, whereas you'll probably never see someone you're rude to in a city ever again.
This hasn't even been peer reviewed yet. Don't expect that you, the average HN reader, knows better than reviewers with relevant backgrounds.

$50 if both using the same currency.

$50 + a few basis point spread if using a different currency, but you don't know exactly what that spread will be from the sending bank and what the spread will be at the receiving bank, so you can lose anywhere from .001% to 4% with major currencies.
I wonder if using a public instance of free software is a problem? i.e. https://sr.ht is an instance of Sourcehut.

I figure if it turns nasty, or is going to disappear, I can take my data to a self-hosted instance.
OT: I would like to write an extension that restores the previous clicking behavior on the title and search bars but I have never written a Firefox extension before. Does anyone know if this kind of functionality change would even be possible with the current extension framework?
As cool as it is, these server announcements are somewhat disheartening.

Well the point is with Bitcoin you don't have to trust RBC to not freeze and/or abscond with your $1B.
Then SCRUM was missing something.

Scrum is missing a LOT of things, because it's very specifically intended to not be highly prescriptive. The whole idea is to iterate, use empirical feedback, and evolve your process to match your context.

Right near the beginning of the Scrum Guide it reads

Scrum is not a process, technique, or definitive method. Rather, it is a framework within which you can employ various processes and techniques. Scrum makes clear the relative efficacy of your product management and work techniques so that you can continuously improve the product, the team, and the working environment.
There's a a JSX-like ttl for Hyperapp too, check it out:

https://github.com/zaceno/hyperlit
Bitcoin is pseudonymous. Every member can be uniquely identified but if you are careful not to link your pseudonym (e.g. wallet address) to any personally identifiable information, nobody else can. But this is really hard when it is about money since in general you'd want to spend that money an that's where the link appears. As long as you don't spend the money, there is no information to link.
The same is true of JSX. You can abstract and generalize its components with equal ease.

I agree with another commenter that a lot of the common objections to JSX and React more generally, especially on HN, sound like things that people who've never used it but only seen a few examples would say.

It's a shame, because with a little more experience those people could complain about stuff like how the complex form logic story in React just isn't really there yet, or how you can't really provide a lot of the subtle touches that go into making a really polished form UX without having to wrap an uncontrolled component inside a controlled one and handle all the state interactions manually.

Forms are boring, I know, and everybody hates it when they have to be complicated. But they exist and are used for a reason, and I wish someone with fewer deadlines than I have right now would take the time to really nail down some of this stuff.

You quote [..]My 2013 MacBook Pro Retina recently died[..] on which you answer something with Linux. The TikTok-Guy was using a Macbook too. So what relation have dead Macbooks with whatever state has dropbox under linux? Nobody here talked about linux except you. Your comment is just very random.

BTW Dropbox works fine under linux, just not in all setups.
No one on earth can 'visualise' an image in their head as if they were seeing it in real life. This entire fiasco is just people on different spectrums of mental picturing that are freaking out because they are misinterpreting what aphantasia is. I assure you you are most likely normal, and it's common to not recite a sentence word for word or picture an object perfectly. Others can do it very well. Just like you can visualise music very well, whereas I cannot. It's a (tight) spectrum.
Oh, the map thing is interesting. I can visualise pretty well but I can’t move around smoothly in my visualisations. I can only warp around like in VR games. Most of what I visualise is more like a 2d film/photo than a full 3D scene. Like your wife, I can’t figure out maps or 3D spaces (I spend a lot of time in 3d games wandering around lost) - despite me being able to form images. Maybe some of us only have 1d/2d imaginary worlds in our heads!
I’ve heard their name on NPR ads in Houston for years and even tried them once years ago but never knew of anyone else using them. I just assumed they were about the same as other solutions but were trying to ramp up with VC money.
UC Berkeley CS 285 – Deep Reinforcement Learning
Anecdotal, but a friend of mine has essentially no inner eye and has roughly one memorable dream per year, if even.

He cannot picture anything internally bar the most basic geometry, and that requires active focus.

I know him to have a strong memory across the board, and no particular issues with reading (dyslexia, however he is a very strong reader. Certainly a lot stronger than average).

So I wouldn't say there's necessarily anything that prohibits a person with a weak minds eye from having good memory. Not arguing against the point he may be an outlier or that these two features don't often go hand in hand, just pointing out it's not so hard and fast.
Not GP, but the web interface is bog slow at loading posts and scrolling the page (once enough posts are loaded). Also, basic navigation is broken by the infinite scroll, so it's easy to lose your place in the stream and have to waste time looking for it again.

As a workaround, there's an option to filter posts by month and year. I work my way backwards a month at a time.
I neither hear nor see things I read. Such that I can remember things, but I couldn't tell you how I remember them.

Is akin to knowing your way home. I don't see the turns ahead of time, but I recognize them when I do. And I can remember the decisions ahead of time.

I think remembering decisions is ultimately my best way to describe it. Remembering making a choice. Something that is not sensory.
> 1. The omnibar completion isn't as good. Chrome figures out where I go pretty regularly, and autocompletes extremely well based upon habits.

That's interesting, because I have found rather the opposite, for how I use it. Chrome doesn't seem to remember anything but my most frequented sites; with Firefox I find it much easier to find that thing I was reading a few weeks back that I did not bookmark by searching a word from the title. Chrome doesn't seem to remember anything but my most frequent and/or very most recently visited sites.
Man, I love the idea of Scuttlebutt but I hate the developer UX. I'm writing some apps that I wanted to put on SSB but have all but given up on the idea. Something about SSB, as a dev, leaves me with a lot of questions and no idea where to even get answers from.

So I'll write my app outside of SSB, hopefully in a way that's mostly compatible, and possibly with future integration.

I may also toy with an SSB-like protocol myself, as the fundamentals of SSB is a work of art imo. I really enjoy what Gossip brings to the table, and how SSB focuses on human->human relationship to bring P2P to the table.
> Although firefox lets you make tabs smaller, it's default method of "scrolling" tabs isn't as nice as chrome infinite method.

Tree style tabs works better in Firefox than Chrome. Just saying
No, it is smaller so that is not the issue. The old completions used to use up the full width of the browser window. I can't exactly put my finger on it, but I suspect that the proportions are just slightly off.
It might be a way to detect bots, even on headless browsers, that pretend to be Chrome but don’t implement the MIDI api. I’m sure crawlers are the bane of the porn industry.
It uses a non-native look for no good reason, and the "popup" thing obscures other parts of the browser UI.

Transaction value is known to everyone, which is one of the whole primary points of Bitcoin.
This quote nails the overall concern for me. What's the point of OSS if the API isn't also protected?

> Oracle v. Google-influenced interpretations of existing open source licenses would similarly extend familiar open source license conditions to activities merely involving APIs. Such reinterpretations would transform these licenses into ones that fail to provide software freedom and advance the goals of open source ...
don't let that person confuse you. its not what happened at all.
There's even a special version - I've used Firefox developer edition for a while now - it supports web sockets while the normal Firefox didn't (I don't know if it now does). My only complaint is that clearing the cookies has a weird delay to it when compared to chrome.
Setting up Webpack and Babel isn't so bad, these days, and you really only have to do it one time and then you can reuse the setup in other projects.

Plus, once you've done it, Typescript is easy to slot in, and that by itself makes the effort worthwhile.
This applies to any SSO.
Couldn't help but wonder whether stereoscopic cameras might affect this somehow, and it would be interesting to hear anecdotes of whether that makes a difference.

Orthogonaly, I worked in an environment some years ago that had zoom sessions in %90 of all meetings, and the trust level between teams on zoom was low. There were company culture reasons for it, as arguably internecine conflict is necessarily a leadership gap, but the zoom medium itself advantaged misrepresentation in a way that email, slack and even conference calls did not. The difference between video and audio calls was that with just audio, someone cannot use their counterparty's isolation to lie because they can't be sure there is nobody else there. On ephemeral video, someone in an empty room is already atomized, and the power dynamic changes. I remember reading a bunch of critical theory about art from the 80's and 90's about the effect of framing, the gaze of the camera, the relationship between subjects and observers, and how people relate to images.

When you are on camera and seeing yourself reflected in a screen without a lot of fidelity, it creates a feeling of uncannyness, and you are made self-conscious, which has consequences to the power dynamic of the conversation. It can set up perfect storm conditions for people whose personalities are given to reflexive or defensive lies.

We behave differently when they are being observed or recorded. I used to always use the camera, but since the lockdown, I have been dialing in to conferences because the uncertainty of the audio connection is leveling. For personal acquaintences, I use the camera, but if there is a power difference, I use audio.

The uncanny effect of video causing self consciousness that brings out defensive traits, which cause mistrust in relationships could just be an "uncanny valley," effect, hence my initial question of whether stereoscopic cameras might change the effect, or maybe exacerbate it. It's also possible that offsetting your camera angle so that you both are being seen to view the same thing from different angles, as though you are discussing some third party object, might improve comfort levels instead of the dead-on positioning of laptop cameras. If I stared at my dog the way people look into their cameras, he'd eventually attack me or someone else, it's possible the camera positioning we use for video conferencing creates the same kind of confrontational/defensive frame.

A portrait photographer could have some insight into this I'm sure.
It was a third party app and the forced bundling feels like a bloatware. Now Mozilla Corporation owns it, it doesn't really a concern anymore.
I wish I could find a practical video/web series on using Devtools. Real-world examples of how to use every feature.

I think Chrome probably benefits from better performance in its Devtools, but I do agree that Firefox does just fine. I find them nearly identical.

My only criticism of Firefox Devtools is they seem to move around buttons and icons pretty frequently. It's frustrating to search for "is .... possible in Firefox devtools?" and see screenshots of how things looked only a couple months ago. Then I play i-spy for the icon that does this.

I do wish a remote debugging standard were defined. Firefox says it supports remote debugging but I have no exposure to this. I just want to hook up node to it like in Chrome.
What If Doctors Stopped Prescribing Weight Loss?
Wow, they finally got around to fixing a certificate-handling issue. That must have closed a bunch of decade-old bugzilla issues.

Now if they could just get around to supporting intermediate CA certificates and all of the Windows certificate stores, not just a couple of randomly chosen ones, that would be swell.

Also, IPv6 support in PAC files would be nice.

If any Mozilla employees come to YC News: Unimportant-seeming stuff like this is why Chrome crushed Firefox in the Enterprise.
Love that FF exists but one of the things that always strikes me is that if FF is successful in their mission they will cut off their major revenue channel.

Google is still the majority of their revenue is it not? The reason they're making that money is off the backs of other consumers who are NOT benefiting from the privacy features that you guys want to see everywhere.

Willing to be totally wrong here and would love to see more FF advocates speak out here but FF wouldn't be financially viable without Google and many FF advocates say Google is the problem...
I can confirm this! Back in 2017, I was 17 and found a flaw that affected the privacy of all browsers and required a web standards change. Google/Chromium (Andrew R. Whalley) paid me a good bounty for that, but Apple (mac, ios, iphone, watch) didn't pay. I didn't expect Mozilla to pay obviously since they were non profit.

The author clearly has little knowledge on the subject of payments. He's likely a consumer.

Getting this "duopoly" right is very hard. Payments has a number of actors, and the label is there to ensure fair play between acquirer and card issuer.

While mastercard and visa controls the market, it's not like there isn't competition: Amex, discovery, etc., are all labels that compete with the so-called duopoly.
I wouldn't say intentionally, there is solidarity around frustration with domestic and global banking systems, but they've just evolved from a limited view within the community.

For structural beam analysis (ie, from mechanical and civil engineering) check out this textbook on the direct stiffness method: http://www.mastan2.com/textbook.html

Unfortunately, the accompanying code (MASTAN2) is not open source and runs in Matlab. Still, it's a decent first step if you want to move to full-on Finite Element methods, which require much heavier math (real analysis) to really grasp.
> Again you are focused on the legal argument that no one is making.

It absolutely is a legal argument. Furthermore it is an argument that has been ruled on by the courts. Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier, 484 U.S. 260 (1988) basically states the first amendment did not protect the students from printing articles in the school newspaper over the objections of the school administration.

That means that as the operator of a platform I as the operator am entitled to my freedom of speech and that as the operator I am allowed to moderate what I want to publish as content. That is a legal fact. Any individual or organization that advocates a message contrary to my views is not entitled to use my platform to spread their message.

It's funny how universal toleration advocates don't see that they are the ones that are quashing the free speech of the owner of a platform. Likewise it seems to me that most the universal toleration advocates also usually promote free market principals so why not the let the free market settle this? Don't like that you got deplatformed? Build your own platform. You are entitled to do that. Then on your platform you can advocate as much hate speech as you want.
That’s what the banks pay to use zelle.

I'm not sure about the claims about spyware—I suspect akerro was simply reporting on the general feeling of the complaints, rather than using precise language—but I know that there was a loud outcry from people unhappy that the proprietary service Pocket was integrated as a part of the core browser, rather than as an extension, which seemed not to be consonant with the stated Mozilla mission to openness and transparency; and that, at least initially, there were no switches to get rid of it. (I don't remember the exact situation now, but whatever it is is the result of Mozilla giving in in response to lots of user push-back against the forced integration.)
They don't, the user controls this. When the user authorizes the client, they have the option to share their actual Apple ID email or use an obfuscated one.

Apple isn't forcing anything here.
Ask HN: How to deal with hostile code review?
The small startup I work for is starting to do a refactoring/version 2 of its product, as such the owner is going through the code base and marking areas for improvement.

He has marked a few parts of the code that I worked on, and one in particular has the comment "//codingstuffs: This code makes me want to cry. Try xxx coding style??"

Now, I will be the first to admit that likely my code sometimes can be a little messier, but the coding style he prefers the pyramid of doom (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_of_doom_(programming)) and I had been taught this was not a good thing.

I'm happy to code to his particular style, but I can't help but feel hurt by the comments. Does anyone have suggestions as to how to separate themselves more from their code/work so that I can not take this as personally?

Are you really going to try to argue that you are less likely to get scammed or hacked with Bitcoin than with a traditional bank?
I don't feel the need to engage in a lengthy discussion about what would be fair, because 1) In this specific instance the 'fair' version of things is incredibly obvious and 2) The conversation wasn't about what would be fair to begin with, it was about what was unfair. You don't need to know how to heal a wound to recognize it.

No one here is arguing that China hasn't put themselves in a good position. That much is obvious. I honestly don't see how you expect a discussion when you aren't responding to, or participating in the thread at hand.
In this case, it seems to be exactly how it works. Someone is opting to 'never speak or leave the house', and can afford to do so.
The value-add for the supply-side is that you'd be getting paid when Readup users read your free articles on your own platform (like I just did with this article). We're sharing our revenue with you, not the other way around!

I use Firefox as my main browser, in Windows 10. Its performance doesn't seem any worse than Chromium-based browsers.

Looking at [0], it seems Firefox sometimes outperforms Chrome/Chromium, and sometimes loses, depending on what's being tested.
