Age is a valid characteristic for retail banking, as people generally only choose a retail bank once (or some other single digit number of times) in their life, and it is usually around the time they get their first job or first taste of financial independence - i.e., late teens. And if they're going to change, they'll be more likely to change if they're young and not so deeply attached to a bank through having a home loan, a retirement/investment fund, credit cards, personal loans etc.

Here's an interview with the co-founder/CEO explaining exactly why their strategy is to target under-35s, and how most of their new customers are aged 16-24:

That's really well done. I tried several ecommerce, airline, travel, etc, sites. I was surprised with the extent of fingerprinting and 3rd party sites.

> For people on Windows, the fact that CMake works well on Windows is enough to sing its praises,

Maybe, but how relevant is this? Application development on Windows is historically not based on open source, and for developing anything else than Windows apps, supporting something different from a POSIX system is not really important.

> but I think Bazel will be eating the C and C++ world over the next five years.

Do you think bazel is better than NixOS and GNU Guix? I think things like bazel are pretty much geared to big companies which want to move ecosystems to the cloud and have a lot of manpower to support very complex dependency systems. I think that for distributed open source projects, a system like Guix which decouples individual packages while suppurting (or even requiring) a build from source is better. There is also the issue that with a bazel build, there is potentially a whole lot of stuff which runs uncontrolled on your local system. It is basically "curl | bash" on stereoids, which means you hand over your machine to the cloud.
As someone who didn’t grow up with many floppy disks, how was one able to format a floppy to have a different capacity? I know there’s different “formats” such as DOS, C64, etc, but I don’t understand why?

I have heard about how formatting a floppy involved placing the tracks and how modern hard drives have “hard sectors”, but for some reason, it’s not “computing.”
VS Code has far more sensible defaults than Eclipse, in my opinion. If you enjoy using Eclipse, then by all means continue.

Hi Jemm,

We don't decide the the price - you do. We also don't force feed you orders - you get to choose the projects you want to work on. When you see a listing you like, you can submit a quote, at which point a message stream is opened between you and the customer. There you can iron out any details and even adjust your quote.

Your concern is echoed by many other creators, which is one of the reasons I started Makely in the first place.
Yes, this stood out to me when I read the article. The examples he gives are all pop-science, all take some thesis and making a story from it that'll be interesting to a general audience.

I feel like he's looking at this through the prism of his speciality (producing interactive learning materials), and by doing that has missed the point a little bit. He's looking a genre of books at if they're a different thing to what they actually are, it's the wrong level.

I get reading a book once doesn't translate directly to "facts retained in memory" whereas his idealised new form of media does. But as you say, his examples are edutainment. I feel like what he's suggesting only usefully applies to either textbooks (which he's separated off into a different category anyway) or to a situation where the aim is to memorise as much as possible in a single reading. Which is fine! But it doesn't really need to happen for pop science -- just getting the general gist of an idea across in an entertaining package is okay.

Having regularly perused the uber drivers subreddit for a couple years back when I used to do that, the percentage of misanthropes commenting there seemed high.

Of course, it's a big leap from being willing to screw over strangers for a few bucks to being willing to throw them out of their homes on to the street, but I've got a feeling some would sadistically enjoy the transition. As long as it paid enough.

Honestly it seems to me like something out of a crappy, dystopian sci-fi B movie from the 90s. With everything else we've seen this year, though, I'm not even that surprised. People being horrible is normalized, and most of my outrage has been depleted. It's just expected now.

Doesn't it has to do with the way you select non-fiction books? I don't mean it as "you are doing it wrong", but more that if you select from certain popular lists you get exactly that, because they are primary written to feel good while you read it and convince you author is right.

If you read history written by historians, you get completely different experience. Or if you read "for dummies" series.
The observable result "the subject reports a lack of inner speech" can correspond to "the subject lacks inner speech" or "the subject isn't aware of inner speech" or "the subject have a motivation to not report having inner speech" or "the subject can't report having inner speech" or "the subject doesn't recognize his/her subjective experiences as inner speech". And maybe more.
I thought about this and it's something I will probably expand to in the future. I am less familiar with CNC services and this was already a large undertaking that I didn't want to overcomplicate things at the start.

I didn’t grow up with floppies, so pardon my ignorance, but two questions: (1) which FAT? I figure it can’t be FAT32, but that still leaves FAT12 and FAT16, both of which Microsoft helped develop.

I hear you.

Fifteen to twenty years ago, maybe even ten, it wasn't like that.

Why it seems impossible? If you're a fan of a show that starts at 7:00 every day but you don't care about other shows before that, you'd end up in that pattern.

Even without watching scheduled TV, if you have a normal day things usually follow the same pattern. Finish work at 17:00, arrive home at 17:30 and all chores done by 19:00, time to watch TV!

Doesn't seem too impossible.

A lot. LineageOS, Amazon's Fire OS, OnePlus' OxygenOS, Android emulation layers and so on are only possible because Android is open source. It sets a low ceiling for any anticompetitive practices Google may want to pull off.

Nobody seems to really care too much about ChromeOS niche.

Mainstream users don't care about any of this and just want things to work. Open source allows other people to take something in a better direction when the original project stops "just working".
You can see water. It's a lot less potentially lethal, too.

I understand how electricity works well enough to handle it safely - and, at least as important, to know when I can't handle it safely and it's time to call in a professional - but that's not the same as trusting it. Honestly, it's a lot more the same as not trusting it. I can and do prototype line-voltage filament LED lamp designs on my bench without a problem, but I think more than anything else it's maintaining a lively awareness of the danger involved that helps there not be a problem.

What's really scary is stuff that's as dangerous as those prototypes and doesn't look it - a condition that I think only ionizing radiation excels electricity in making it possible to create. All anyone has to do is screw up wiring an appliance with exposed metal parts, and the whole thing can be live at potentially lethal mains voltage - and I'll freely admit that having had my batteries very unpleasantly charged that way once, thanks to a miswired ceiling fan, strongly informs my perspective on the subject.

As with fire, so with electricity: an indispensably useful servant, but also an ineluctably dangerous one, to be regarded with respectful mistrust at all times lest a moment's carelessness end in tragedy.

Surely you realize that the people who come to the US without documents aren't doing the same job or getting close to the same compensation as you? If you want to pay a smuggler a few thousand dollars so you can work in a meat packing plant and risk you and your kids being locked up at any time, you can also follow their path.

1. Completely, since I now work fully remotely. I rarely drive. When I leave the house, it's almost always on foot.

2. The local city government has shut down or restricted use of public transit. The federal government is worse than useless and has not instituted any real changes.

3. Minneapolis traffic is 70% lower than it was this time in 2019. Most of us who can work remotely are working remotely.
I got an Amiga and honestly while it was a great machine, a lot of games were written to support the ST as well so didn't use the Amiga's more advanced capabilities. If you were doing video production and graphics work it paid off but frankly I probably would have been just as happy with an ST.

Also the ST gets dinged for being less powerful, but it was actually significantly faster than the Mac at the time and with an add-on could even run Mac applications.

Try to use it for python or c++ and you will see the problem. I switched to clion as I work in node, python and c++. vscode python support is bellow average and c++ support is bad. clion works great for all those environments.

My biggest problem with vscode is lack of UI configuration. You can have only one panel which is huge waste on big screen. Some useful features compete for screen space (outline vs. project explorer, project explorer vs. debug window etc.). This makes me way less productive than using heavyweight configurable IDE.

A right? No. But you also don’t have a right to offend coworkers. I guess some companies consider not being offended to be a perk of employment with them. The free market can decide: if people value the perk they’ll work there. If they don’t, they’ll quit.

Only 5 microwatts of power, and it's still fabbed on 180nm. I'm assuming these "tricks" they speak of wouldn't be ruined if they went to, say, 5nm and reduced the power requirements even further. I hope I'm right because if so that's a true breakthrough.

My impression of Assange and WL has always been that of the visible aspect of a dissenting clique within the security services of the fabled "international community".

The power clique in the West are setting a very clear example to disuade any future asset from accepting the reassurances of protection from a dissenting group.

Part of this demonstration naturally includes _blatant_ disregard for "values" and "laws" of the "international community". They are making a point and clearly wish to make a lasting impression.

Yeah, but nobody, statistically speaking of course, cares for those today :-)

For most devs, and especially HN-mingling devs, it's either system work, embedded work, ML/AI/Data Science, backend work, html/js frontend, or Electron -- and as for native apps, most focus on iOS or Android (rather than desktop native).

Somehow RAD native apps became the forgotten stepchild.
Basically your floppy disk is formatted on each side with a number of tracks, each containing a number of sectors of a given size. [1]

The standard 720KB 3.5' floppy disk as used by the Atari ST used 80 tracks of 9 sectors.

With these tools you could format with, say 11 sectors instead of 9 and boost capacity to 880KB (I think the Amiga was doing that as standard).

The floppy drive has a stepper motor that controls the placement of the read/write head above the disk.

In the ST era, the control of that motor was directly under the control of the operating system. For an 80 track disk, the movement required to step between tracks was a certain known amount.

If you formatted the disk with the tracks spaced closer together, by altering the stepper movement during that process, you would 'magically' get more space.

This still sounds cheap to me. I have never worked on-call (and I never plan to), but the exhaustion cost of working two hours in the middle of the night is not equal to two hours of uninterrupted sleep. I would expect to get at least a half day off (paid) for any amount of middle-of-the-night work.
