It is a problem to maintain. Simple example: how do you remove sessions in a multi server environment? Well, you can set a config to do that at random which imposes a cost for that particular request. Or you can run a corn job. This is not a decision in most other scripting languages.

I think your argument is better stated in that you don't see value from predatory capital vs sweat capital.

I can see the aversion to HF / VC. But you can't use that broad brush to paint all investment capital as predatory.

First, I can infer that your aversion to capital is due to vulture funds that have been known to extract money from perfect viable companies via buyouts (i.e. thinking "barbarians at the gates" type investments) for example.

However, the solution is not just to put everything in a savings account and disregard everything else is predatory.

How did we get here ? How did these funds come to exist ? Why are savers getting hurt and vultures making bank ? That's what you should really be questioning.

I think a much better argument can be made in that you would much rather increase interest rates, and stop the profilgate money lending by the fed, so that extremely cheap capital would not be available for these vultures to exist.

How do you back such scenario by direct action ? I don't know. However, i know you are not contributing to utopia by wasting your investment capital by letting it slowly burn in a savings account.
I’ve heard this advice before but I find it really demotivating. I recently realized that I type with all 5 fingers on my left hand but hit 90% of the keys with my index finger on the right. I’m fast mind you - 90-100wpm blind as well. But for any prolonged stretches (10 minute+) it starts to hurt.

So a while back I started doing 10 minute a day typing exercises with Typing Academy to train my right hand. Whenever I did it blind it was just mistake after mistake after mistake. I felt so incapable. But when I started looking down I was able to correct myself and still use the right technique. Much better. I was slow. But slowly learning without frustration.

I guess my point is: crawl before you walk, walk before you run. The frustration made me quit, and that’s always worse than looking down and learning.
60% of murder cases result in someone getting arrested. So we still have to ask: a) how many of those arrests result in a conviction? b) how many of those convictions are of the right person? c) and how many murders result in murder cases?

A murder case basically starts with police opening a file saying "X has been murdered" and goes on from there. So if the death looks enough like accident or natural causes or suicide, no murder case is opened and it doesn't count as an uncleared murder.

Therefore it wouldn't surprise me if the majority of murders (51%, anyway) are unsolved.
It seems all those deplatforming started really recently with trump/parler and turned into a witch hunt. It's now totally out of control and we start to look like CCP
I use a QMK keyboard, and wrote some code for the firmware that would enforce this in the keyboard itself. "Naughty" combinations like you listed would just NO_OP instead of emitting a scan code.

It was frustrating as hell. Which, I guess is the point at first. But I got tired of it faster than I learned to balance the key presses.

I wonder if just a small beep or other subtle signal would work? Allow the wrong combo, but give the typist some feedback.

Maybe they shouldn’t make Amber Alerts preempt Do Not Disturb then fewer people would disable them.

It’s unlikely anyone woken up by an Amber Alert would be useful in that moment. At least defer it until they turn off Do Not Disturb.
Personally, I can get a SPA running in Elm without using Google. I have to Google react-router if I use React instead. But that isn't the value I'm getting from this thread.

This post, along with the talk of interviewing and webapp development in this thread, is giving so much anxiety that it's really galvanizing my desire to leave this industry and never look back.

Me too! Pascal has a natural "flow" that I lost when I transitioned to C.
No the dynamic range and wider color gamut is. Your argument is that 10-bit sRGB doesn’t give you anything over 8-bit sRGB, which I don’t agree with but it’s reasonable.

But that’s not what HDR is. 8bpc is definitely not enough to represent HDR Rec.2020 or DCI-P3 without significant banding.
Pascal was one of my earliest exposures to programming.

MS just released Windows XP, I was in high school. Back in those days, people used Basic, Pascal, and C for programming competitions.

Already had some experiences with Basic, and found C to be too "low level" for my taste, I picked Pascal. Next year, I jumped into Delphi: learning Win32 GUI basics and some database programming with MySQL. Probably pretty advanced for a high school kids, since most of my friends were interested in music or games :)

I never used Pascal/Delphi for work though, because Java has been a major player in mobile development scene (J2ME -> BlackBerry -> Android....).

One of the things I appreciate about Pascal compilers is: blazing fast compile time. And I think it still applies to FPC (Free Pascal Compiler).

You can rebuild the whole compiler + basic libraries from scratch under 5 minutes. Can't say the same thing about GCC. Well the last time I did this was in 2014 (or 2015?), though.

Now, if I want a native compiler with fast compilation speed, I'd pick Go or Nim.....
Back in the days i would open an editor and start with <?php...?><html><head>, and it would immediately show at least something in the browser. The rest was open to creativity. Adding libraries was only needed when adding features.

Today on day one i would go: wtf is this Babel thing and how do i configure it so that Angular work together with SASS and is npm compatible with this version of Typescript? Which reactor pattern is flavor of the month and what stupid parameter was needed to make the router work? I hardly even know which files are shipped to the browser anymore after all Webpack preprocessing.

But once you actually have the setup in place, i have to admit the modern experience is a lot more productive and powerful. It's just that every time you have to start a new project or touch anything related to the build-process your soul dies inside. There are too much gunk just built on top and on top of each other, instead of replacing the whole stack, and thanks to leaky abstractions you have to understand at least something throughout every layer of the rotten cake.

There are a lot of scaffolding-scripts available, like Vue-cli, helping you to do all of this but imo they just add even more to the problem, now you got yet another layer of crap to crawl through and it prevents you from actually learning the real layer underneath.

It's wrong but the p is on a very hard position for the right pinky. FWIW, p was the last letter I got right as a touch typist. It's not that the pinky is a weak finger--it can be trained to a very good level--it's really more the position of the p.
It’s different in Pascal l, iirc: in JavaScript with has dynamic scope in and affects every function you call inside the work statement; in Pascal, it has lexical scope. I used it all the time in Delphi and don’t recall any real issues.
Inversely, they took a position exploiting pretty much exactly what you describe from a hedge fund, and the only reason it didn't work was that it got shut down by powers from above.

A p2p fille sharing system is not a wheel. I found that freenet was a little complex. Ipfs is quite simple and modern. Doesn't freenet use Java?

Anyway, software doesn't have well respected ISO standards and 20 years is an eternity in the age of the internet. So I don't see a problem with ipfs. Also, ipfs looks like it's more flexible and reusable.
Keep in mind that you're making a somewhat pedantic point about the difference between "invented" and "adopted" and the core of the criticism is still true.

The thing you did with software direct from the developer used to be called "installing" but now the platform companies call it "sideloading" which sounds like something that would cause an airline to lose your luggage.
How about paying for the actual content? With a NYT subscription you actually get a fair value for your money.

Wow, ages ago, one afternoon, I played around with "page swapping" on the Mac Plus. You could cordon off a chunk of RAM to act as a second screen buffer, render to it, and then toggle the screen buffer during screen retrace to get a very fast (60hz, er 30hz, I guess) "flip animation".

As I recall from my brief experiment, you could get a pseudo 50% gray where the corresponding pixels on the two buffers were opposites (one buffer with a black pixel, the other with white).
The first Amiga was released only a year after, in 1985. The Mac was a toy in comparison.
I race cars. I've been on track with Ex-Grand Prix Drivers. Some of the biggest names in racing, and for sure the Worlds Best racing instructors helped teach me how to drive race cars at the limit of adhesion. I have consulted with the same sports psychologist that pioneered the training program for F1 and Indy car racers at Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis--The Performance Institute. They actually called me on the phone when my test results were calculated and told me "I wasting my time running a contracting business" because I was a World Class racer as far as their testing was concerned.

Now I'm not saying I have ever driven a car with the insane performance of an F1 car. I did however walk away from an offer for a fully funded season to race a Swift DB6 (2 liter) after I had tested in that year's national championship winning car. What a fucking car, I loved that car! There were two reasons why I walked away from that offer: Mainly because I am Not brilliant at learning new race tracks. And the faster and more expensive the race car--the less time you have to learn a new circuit and get into your racing rhythm (I suspect this is because I did not race as a child. I was in my twenty's when I started going to racing schools and racing). And the second reason is I was 33 years old at that time; I had a wife, a newborn baby, a contracting business, and a mortgage.

However; I was arguably the fastest Formula Ford driver in America on any given day. I beat a National race winner's lap time by .4 of a second a lap using the exact same car race car in back to back sessions.

For years and years.. and YEARS--all I thought about was how to be a better driver. Every sport I played was done to improve either my balance (driving at the limit, is in good part--feel and balance), my concentration and my strength.

My point is I have some idea of what is required to drive
a F1 car. I really don't to put anyone down here: but the fact is a racing driver Would Never Ever buy a self-driving car. And trust me unless you own fire proof underwear and can drive 100 mph on a snow covered road (with winter tires of course. Racers' employ a particular eye technique coupled a steering tactic gives us so much more time to make decisions when we drive. Plus we can drive a car sideways while whistling a happy tune) you would have a hard time imagining just how good GOOD really is.

Launch control, dual clutch transmissions yeah we love that stuff it let's us drive quicker.

Traction control, automatic braking, lane departure systems we hate shit. And No real racer would buy any car where those systems can't be turned off. I turn them off my on car ALWAYS and MOST ESPECIALLY in the Snow, Ice and rain... that shit is off--because I'm FAR better at controlling the car than those systems are.

And our lovely patio11 found that all discount brokers sold order flow, even while they were charging commissions:

> Schwab earned 1.4% of revenue from payment for order flow, TD Ameritrade about 8.4%, and ETRADE about 6.1%.

It turns out that commissions were ~50% of revenue at IKBR and in 2018:

> 6.8% at Schwab, 28% at TD Ameritrade, and 17% at ETRADE

https://www.kalzumeus.com/2019/6/26/how-brokerages-make-mone...

I’m sure RH had more order flow to sell (zero-commissions = more trading) and securities lending of shorted stocks must be incredibly profitable.

But assuming they must* be doing something much different than the other brokers to have $0 commissions is a myth.

Reality is that every discount broker would have had substantial revenue to work with without commissions, but didn’t have any competitor to push them to do that until RH came along.
Normative statements are based on one's observations and interpretations of facts, and that basis can be meaningfully scrutinized.

Just moved from CA to ID. I'd say that the experience has been great, but with some caveats that don't really apply to you.

A lot of the celebration you'll see about remote work is going to come from those who couldn't afford space in places like SF & LA who are now thrilled that they can afford a house somewhere cheaper. I am personally included in this category, as houses in ID are much cheaper than CA. It's really hard to overstate how much of an impact space has on one's quality of life, but that might not be strictly relevant to you since you're effectively stuck in place either way.

Second, I'm pretty senior. There is a pretty big difference between starting your career out remote and settling into remote work once you're already established. It seems like starting out remote would be a bit tougher early on in your career, but I've only experienced being remote while managing.

On the whole, I personally love working remote, and have no intention to stop. This is actually pretty surprising to me, since I had a terrible experience with a prior remote job, as the job was both bad (for reasons unrelated to remote) and I was the only remote worker. Coming to enjoy remote work over the length of the pandemic was a surprise to me.

My only piece of advice: don't be the only remote person. Try to at least get onto a team that is 100% remote together, so that you won't end up being isolated.
> not sure what it's based on

As far as I know it's based on element or at least co-develop by the element so while their "business" should not be affected directly. The secondary affects this will have if it continuous does affect them indirectly I think.

The more worrying think that this is by far not the first time Google (or Apple) have taken down clients to "non http" networks. Sometimes blaming them for content on the network sometimes not saying anything. Which lets be honest is absurd given that they would have to delete all web-browsers using this arguments.
>I am not willing to root Android.

Why is that? I'm not being snarky, I just don't understand why.

The difference between a rooted and non-rooted android is like the being in the wheel group or sudoers file on unix/linux and not being in them.

Parler curated the content on their platform for months including shadowbanning new accounts until they had been approved by volunteer moderators. Accounts on Parler called for and planned violence against elected officials for months. Executives at the company spoke often and publicly supporting that content.

If your going to argue with a straight face the this new situation is the same as Parler, your putting Element side by side with some very bad company.

Perhaps I don't understand it, but I think parent poster gave bad example of what s/he tried to say.

My understanding is that if you had $100 and you purchased stock for $100 and it went up in few hours to $120 and you decided to sell it, so you can purchase something else. You can't you have to wait 2 days.

Of course if you have enough money you will have buffer to account for that, but it makes it harder to do day trading when everything is delayed by 2 days.

i wonder what would have happened if strategic planning in France would not have been centered on the Maginot line. It may be that they were too much focused on defensive fortifications and didn't use the tanks they had effectively.

https://tanks-encyclopedia.com/ww2/france/ww2_French_Tanks.p...

"The failure of French tanks was owed to obsolete tactical concepts, compromises which led to undermanned tanks and busy commanders, lack of air support and very poor communication aggravated by a rigid, scattered chain of command. In short, French armor could have had prevailed if better commanded and with better coordination and supplies. The ensuing losses were an incredible waste of military might, reproduced almost to the letter by the USSR in the summer of 1941."

More arms here and there would not have made a big difference in the battle of France, given that the system failed as a whole.
Also, housing prices. It's really hard to overstate how rough it can be on some people to not have their own space.

IMO no. I would have preferred it if my company would have used less predatory means of getting that money, something like taking a loan or simply saving up part of the profits for any future investments.

The people that made the decision to sell the share still pay them selfs plenty of money, the shareholder’s reward is always coming from my paycheck, and I prefer it wouldn’t.

Certainly, the historic justification for volumetric measuring is likely what you say, that scales were not a thing for most anyone to have until recently. My point was just that recipes used across generations in a family weren't back then (compared to nowadays) likely subject to geographic changes because people were much less likely to move far. I've got nuclear family members on both US coasts and I'm in a landlocked state. That kind of intra-family dispersal is much more common today.
