You might be one of those experienced developers who has gone through their entire career without ever meeting a well designed, beautifully architectured application, and therefore concluded, sensibly, that all real-world applications look like shit if you look inside, and you seem to have come to believe that this is the only possible way.

I have a different experience. Code that is well designed makes mistakes look obvious and the logic feel natural. It's very hard to write code like that, but I've seen it and I've been able to write it myself, so when I see a bunch of complicated code that only tests can tell whether or not it works, I know that the problem is really that the best design simply has not been found yet. If I find code that looks like shit and I realize there's a better design for it that will make the code clear and natural, I won't think twice to refactor it ruthlessly if such code has been a source of problems and time wasted (and fixing difficult to read code is huge costly to morale as well, which when taken into consideration, increases the cost of technical debt by a lot).
When hiking in the woods, we dig a small hole and cover up. I don’t recommend doing that in a city park, but certainly better than pooping where kids walk to school.
Curious question - do you not use dataframes instead ? Is that not much nicer as a UX ?
> But you won't really know if March is going to be income-less until it is over. On March 1st I may still be hopeful that tomorrow will be a better day. Soon it is the 31st and I realize I didn't make anything. You're still dependent on hindsight, no?

You can specify how much withholding you want. There are just penalties if you end up owing too much in the end, because otherwise people would specify none all the time and we'd be back to tax debtors prisons when they didn't have the money at the end of the year.

So you can say on March 1st that you want the $1000 now. Then on March 3rd when you find a new job, you immediately go back and specify a different withholding amount which claws it back so you don't have to pay the penalty for not withholding enough now that you're making more money again.

> And reporting daily is a huge amount of overhead for someone.

Not if you're only reporting changes in your withholding amount. Then there is only something to file when your job status changes. You lose your job, you file a status change, money is immediately transferred into your account. You get a new job, you file again. At any other time there is nothing you have to do.

> The logic is exactly the same if you report every second or only once per year.

Other than the immense practical difference between having to wait for money for one year and having to wait for money for one second.

And even that doesn't exist because filing doesn't have to happen after the fact at all. If it's February 15th and your employer says you're laid off in two weeks, you can change your filing status before March 1st and get the money at exactly the same time.
Government will always be very inefficient. Government certainly has some strong benefits, but you should avoid using government wherever it is not absolutely necessary. Private industry would have done a far better job of handling the vaccine roll out.

why not study both? or rather, encourage people to balance their diet according to their specific situation. learning two types of tools sharpens them both. in the case of design/implementation, it provides both short-term and long-term utility and enjoyment.

for some people, that means learning an actual database and building something rather than consuming more information. for other people, that means learning more computer science concepts and meta knowledge/skills.

cynically, i agree that fundamentals seem to be increasingly on shorter and shorter supply... but i suspect it's a wide world, and that what we're actually seeing is a WIIIIIIIDE spectrum of jobs (and interests!) all called "Software Engineer".

besides, people can think for themselves -- that's the point of learning fundamentals (meta-concepts and thinking skills).

the exact diet someone needs depends on where they are at currently, both technically and financially, and where they want to be.

PS - the main article is about apprenticeships, which serve a way more important function than learning: getting a foot into the job market. for many engineers without work experience, they're not even getting a chance to interview without first getting a network and proven track record.
Personally I don't think I'd even want that, the diamond mines never sounded like a dignified place to work, and have serious environmental consequences.

I'd rather have lab-grown if anything, which are free of ethical concerns around labour, and are getting their energy footprint down into the tens of kWH per carat range.

It's dangerous to treat rust like a panacea. _safe_ rust is memory safe. The problem is that for most nontrivial programs (especially very low level ones), you are forced to use unsafe rust. Just look at how many times the unsafe keyword is used in the rust stdlib.

Robin Hood in my opinion is constrained by their previous marketing. There message to prospective users is at odds with reality. At some point this had to catch up with them. Stop worrying about this one crappy broker.
I think it might help to actually formulate a goal, like, say, run 5K or bike 100 miles or do 100 pushups at once or something, and then build a workout regimen that will get you to that point. In my own experience, I've found that "I'll just do pushups and stuff" means I won't stick with it, because it's difficult for me to really measure progress and I get easily discouraged without a training plan.

What sports or fitness celebrities inspire you? Have you ever watched American Ninja Warrior or anything like that? That's one of the things that inspires me on my fitness journey. I'm primarily a runner, but I cross train with strength and climbing as much as I can. I still can't do more than two pull-ups, but someday...

As for resources, /r/fitness and /r/bodyweight on Reddit have a bunch of decent resources. The latter is especially useful because they can provide some really good routines that incorporate only yourself, so you won't need equipment or anything else. If all else fails, hire a personal trainer. Even in this COVID era, they can coach you over video call, and if you do that for a few weeks, you should have enough workouts to keep yourself busy on your own for a while.

My final tip is to do at least 10 minutes of exercise per day. You can do anything for 10 minutes a day. If after 10 minutes I'm bored or I'm tired or I just plain don't want to continue, then I give myself permission to quit. (I've been doing this for years and i've never actually stopped after 10 minutes... the hardest part about working out is STARTING!)

Anyway, good luck!
Is it possible that collateral requirements were raised by clearing houses specifically to knock Robinhood retail investors out of the game?
Assuming you mean what I think you mean, it does work.

I meant the systematic thinking of axioms, theorems, and logical systems like syllogism. I don’t know about other countries, but I’m pretty sure India or China didn’t develop rigorous systems line Greeks and Arabics. They developed a lot of techniques, for sure, like how to solve equation systems, but certainly not generalizations like axioms-theorems-proofs

Fixing all those issues requires

1. competent technologists

2. competent technology managers who can communicate to the suits who are in charge of the budget that these things are needed for a functional quality tech environment

#2 is a much rarer skill than #1, and those people will get paid way more and will have to deal with way less BS working in tech companies than government positions.

After spending so much time on this topic I always came to the same conclusion. Even when I made the most extreme assumptions it didn't change the answer. Just build more housing or stop building too much commercial real estate. That's it.

The truth is that Californians love expensive housing. They love having lots of jobs that attract people outside their city. They also love yelling at the people they desperately tried to attract. They love homeless people and want to support their drug problems. They never put themselves into the shoe of outsiders or even developers and care about nothing except their own selfish desires. That's what true greed looks like. It's in plain sight and until that greed is gone nothing will change.
>1. You could use "reflection" or some dynamic feature to do this, but lose type-safety

By using reflection you only lose type-safety for this particular function. With a dynamic language, you lose it everywhere.

And it's still an one-liner or close in a language without much ceremony (e.g. not Java 1.5).

Example implementation (pseudo-code):

fun capitalize (o: object) -> [f.toUpper() for f in
reflection.fields(o) if reflection.type(f) == "string"]
> People seem to have an expectation that Signal server API is public, and that it should allow any compatible client to connect

That's because people have a reasonable assumption that a single actor (however good it is) should not have power over all of our communications. That's why we had federated networks in the first place (HTTP, SMTP, XMPP, DNS). Avoiding vendor lock-in is an important feature for most people.
Recent times, Elon musk tweets are moving the markets, and I have missed those tweets and so missed to invest in those stocks, and missed to get rich. So have created http://getelonstocks.com/ that notifies instantly, if Elon tweets about any company or stock and so, can buy the stock before the price of the stock, skyrockets.
To scale, I prefer tablets with a wwan port and a shattered screen: on ebay, for less than $100 each, I can fit 2x m2 NVMe (one 2242 in the wwan port), they are small, and each come with their own UPS (battery) and standardized power connector (USB-c) while supporting KVM (AMT if you know which models to buy)
If one uses a Lisp interpreter, macro expansion may happen at runtime.

CLISP example:

[2]> (defmacro add2 (place) (print 'add2) `(incf ,place 2))
ADD2
[3]> (let ((a 1)) (dotimes (i 4) (add2 a)))

ADD2
ADD2
ADD2
ADD2
NIL
[4]>

As one can see the macro form is expanded four times at runtime.

>Honestly I don't understand how it possibly couldn't. At least not unless EU negotiators screwed up the contract. Otherwise AZ could simply just over-promise and then leave the EU high and dry.

I mean, it is a pretty clear omission in the agreement given that this was probably the #1 question from the EU going in. These agreements are specifically structured so that there is no down side for underperforming on delivery, because it is a high risk activity and no company would agree to harsh penalties.

The agreement is very clear about what happens if the EU commission enters contracts that limit capacity but silent on AZ agreements. Section 6.2 Capacity limitations:

>In the event AZ's ability to fulfil obligations under this agreement is impeded by a competing agreement entered into by or or on behalf of the commision, AZ shall promptly inform the commission. While AZ shall continue to use Best Reasonable Efforts to engage with its own CMOs and supplies to utilize the capacity and/or components, the commision will assist in finding a mutually acceptable solution for the agreement and the competing agreement. To the extent AstraZeneca's performance under this agreement is impeded by any such competing agreements, AstraZeneca shall not be deemed in breach of this agreement as a result if any such delay due to the aforementioned competing agreement(s)

Similarly, "Best Reasonable Effort" is clearly defined in Section 1.9 as industry standard for vaccine delivery:

(1) in the case of AZ, the activity as and degree of effort that a company of similar size with a similarly sized infrastructure and similar resources as AZ would undertake or use in the development and manufacture of a Vaccine at the relevant stage of development or commercialization having regard to the urgent need for a Vaccine to end the global pandemic...

This is really more about dedicating the appropriate resources to the task opposed to allocation. IF someone wanted to stretch it to make it about contract priority, I don't think voiding contracts and shipping supply based on population is industry standard.

Musk didn't inflate Doge. He tweeted about it and a bunch of get rich quick folks scrambled to buy, driving the price up like a penny stock.

A share of stock represents a tiny percentage share in a company's assets and profits. For simplicity, let's say a company has 100 shares, and you own 1 share or 1%. If they then issue 100 new shares and sell them on the market to raise cash, your ownership in the company has been diluted from 1% to 0.5%.

That's why company shares will never be safe as an arbitrary store of value like bitcoin is. No one can arbitrarily dilute your share of the bitcoin pie.

Server fans are like 12V 1A, Noctua don’t make that kind of fans.

Fan diameter actually corresponds to server thickness. 1U use 4cm, 3U and 4U use 8 or 12cm. Power consumption stays the same, which means monsters like 1U Xeons come with like horizontal 8-unit array of a pair of contra-rotating 4cm 12V/0.5A(12V x 0.5A x 2 in series = 12W per unit) fans.

Noctua don’t make that kind of jet engines.

You can send people KN95s masks
"The message that these masks are available and reasonably cheap (ex: 50 at $1.50/each, shipped) seems to be spreading slowly and unevenly through society. If someone vulnerable you care about is still wearing cloth masks to go into buildings, you might consider sending them a box. For example, Julia and I both sent boxes to our parents: we checked in with them about what they had been wearing, told them about how it was now possible to get higher quality masks, and asked if it would be ok if we sent some."
FF only removed the SSB (site specific browser) feature on desktop which was in an alpha state. There was no announcement that Mozilla was going to remove the entire PWA features (such as service workers).

PWA is a set of modern web standards. "Supporting PWA" can mean many things but "Removing unfinished SSB" doesn't mean "Removing PWA".
There is a flaw in your argument. If there is no demand for extremely expensive luxury apartments none of them will be built. The brain knot of luxury apartments making housing unaffordable doesn't even come into play because no luxury housing will be built.
When powerful people need to bend the rules, they don't do it outright. They find cover. And if there's any discretion in how much liquidity clearinghouses require, that's what they'll modify.

You'll see similar things when influence is sold. Speakers are given huge fees for basic speeches and then they know what they should do. Nothing is spelled out, because that would be dumb.

I remember the costs for science/engineering textbooks at university were absolutely outrageous.

On top of paying tuition in the thousands, textbooks could easily cost >$100/piece, and sometimes 1-3 textbooks would be required per course. And the professors would make us purchase the books they wrote, which cost a lot of money.

For a group of students with limited-no income, usually that would mean resorting to torrenting PDFs, pooling money to buy a single textbook and make copies, or looking for international copies.
Project author here. I have been working so hard for the past 3 months on this app, and last year tried to submitting the alpha version to hacker news a few times but that version was a lot less polished and didn't get much attention. The response today has been really wonderful, and has been so encouraging!

Feel free to ask me any questions or request new features.

Everything is still very much in active development and it would be amazing if anyone is interested in contributing the source code[1]. I just took a few days of rest and am gearing up to begin posting a bunch of math education video's on my youtube channel using all the new features which I built just for that purpose. I will be adding new features as I need them during the video creation process. Most importantly, coming soon there is going to be a feature to export animations to mp4.

I don’t disagree, although I think these reasons do mean that it’s far too early to say “App stores are dying” as in the post I was replying to - at least in Apple’s case they are still central, and even seem to be becoming more core with deeper integration into MacOS.

Also, in this context, a TWA isn’t useful as the post is about avoiding an App Store / central control using PWA.

That's still not an answer. You're avoiding the question and... I don't know, answering some other question that no one asked, it looks like.

If a company has the option between OpenJDK and its "free" license or paying Oracle for a different license, why would anyone feel safe choosing the former, given that when you deal with Oracle, you deal with the risk of wasting as much money or more to defend yourself in court than the price of Oracle's paid option? Open source licenses are only as good as as the belief by the licensing party that the terms of the license mean anything.
> [T]here's no real reason why ALL companies need to have their stocks compatible

I think it would be way harder to trade a basket of stocks (e.g. pairs trading, going long one and short the other) if you had to worry about mismatched settlement dates across the different stocks; it would be like trading spot against a one-day forward.
There's nothing in fast, cheap, automated settlement that requires a blockchain. A centralized system should cost less, at least compared to a proof of work blockchain, due to energy costs.

Also, stock markets are heavily regulated. In a centralized system, it is relatively easy to enforce regulations. How do you do that in a blockchain based system?
No, when you tell a broker to buy $X of stock, they send a record of that purchase to a clearing firm. The clearing firm, in order to make sure none of the Brokers becomes insolvent before settlement, requires every Broker offer up collateral - it's collateral, it's not spent if everything goes well.

It's the SEC requiring brokers offer up insurance in case they explode.

Then, 2 days later, your actual money goes to the clearing firm and is exchanged for stock.
Yeah, but if there are 4-5 big players and 3 of them ban the purchase of these stocks(not the sale) they can have a big impact on their price..just like U.S sanctions affect Venezuela's econnomy. And then you find out they have a vetted interest to drive the price down...so long with the free market
R720 and DL380 are old, very ubiquitous servers. They are good workhorses and parts are plenty. Also they're not very closed platforms. They're not very silent though.

However with an iLO or iDRAC license, they're joy to administer and use. They're also very reliable too.
Admittedly I know nothing about the stock market but when your decision somehow align with your business decisions and business partners interests, it’s hard not for people to expect there’s a more nefarious reason behind it.
There's a difference between being passionate about a skillset and passionate about a field. For instance, I can be passionate about renewable energy and still be a generalist in terms of my day-to-day work.
I think it's important to realize that all these knee jerk reactions were shown to be incorrect only 3 days later, but most people will never hear the truth. The truth is that the FTCC increased Robinhood's capital requirements, and they did not have the funds to meet this. Thus they could not allow buy orders legally, although they could allow cell orders because that would reduce their capital requirements.
