Yeah, lets try. If I can cut times for deployment the web sites is still a win. I could wait for the windows builds, them are for utilities...

I removed that other response because it wasn't constructive, but I guess you saw it and wanted to engage. Ok...

Nobody in my life proposed with a "decently expensive" ring as far as I know, people here (UK) don't routinely do that to the same extent americans do, and showing off huge rocks socially would generally be considered gauche.

Further, nobody is going to admit regretting such a purchase anyway due to post-purchase rationalisation. Not even to themselves. The more expensibe something is, the stronger this effect.

Your idea that you, as a man, could leave post-childbirth and the woman couldn't is also rooted in gendered assumptions. And a diamond changes none of it anyway, losing half of its value at least from the moment you buy it, it's hardly an insurance policy. I also can't imagine being with someone to whom the idea of "burden of proof" in a relationship would be meaningful.

People don't get criticised for wasting their lives in front of the tv? Which world do you live in?

I've been working in and around finance for years, never noticed women wearing huge rocks around the office. Maybe it's an American thing.

To me, you got suckered by DeBeers. Glad you don't feel that way, but it looks a hell of a lot like rationalisation from here.

(You bought a shiny thing for your meaningful other and she liked it! Good for you! You spend your money how you like, go for those status symbols if that's your thing. The idea that it's meaningful to spend so much on a trinket, not so much)
There was some work using genetic algorithms determining build orders in Starcraft II. It produced some really innovative stuff.

When your tool optimizes for "gap closer" what are the characteristics of the items it selects for? Move speed? Ranged slows? Is there a consideration of item active vs. passive effects? For example, Stridebreaker is in a lot of bruiser build orders because it has an active (i.e. requires a button press) gap closing ability.

That makes a lot of sense - packing thousands of solder points around the chip as we did when a CPU had 40 pins is impractical now.

This must also simplify timing and routing as you can always use the closest ball to the point you want to connect the die to the external world.

Sad that the most beautiful parts are under all that stuff.
Having trouble figuring out the subscriptions costs on their website.
An extremely small number of people were involved in those. And meanwhile, China was extinguishing anti-communist dissidents by the millions in the Mao revolution. India had its caste system in full effect. Africa was even poorer than it is today with many battles, regional strifes, etc. Cuba got taken over by communists, for example, many forced to flee to the U.S. afterwards. They didn't seem to worry about the "prevalent lynchings" as you characterize it, or exaggerate it beyond its relative scale in what was going on in the world at the time.
The restrictions at Schwab (and I'm pretty sure TD) were different than Robinhood, they only restricted shorting, buying on margin, and selling naked options. Buying and selling GME/AMC with cash were available the entire time (I could do it).
I like what the author is trying to say but the way he put it sounds a little too much like a fanboy.

Most of everything is build on first principles. That's am important part of any scientific process.
Great. Now care to explain how the same thing happened with TDA, IB and Schwab? All under-capitalized as well?
To be fair, this applies even more directly to the parent of the comment you replied to (GP), which asserted that you get a passport after 5 years. That's true in a few European countries but explicitly false in many others.

> Rather, I think everyone acted in their own self-interest

Read the article. Robinhood arguably acted against their own interest, since they get paid for order flow (and telling customers they cant execute trades they'd like to make wont be good for customer retention either). Robinhood acted in a way that was contractually required, according to formulas set up long in advance of any of the latest market action.

All of this technology being propped up by massive teams of engineers who literally wrote that frankenstein OS. It might work great for MS, but that doesn't mean it will work well for normal people.
Firecracker is definitely heading in the same direction we did with their "diff snapshots", though they don't let you create a COW chain yet, so there's still quite a bit of development to be done on that front.
The evergrowing scope of browsers, designed so only Google (and, by now, Mozilla, but only because Google allow them to exist) can create one and keep it updated.
Take a look at the Ars article, it's really hard to get coverage in moderately flat areas over a reasonable distance(1m+). You also quickly start running into the Hidden Node[1] problem or the N^2 aspect of channel congestion(which is why LoRA has such low throughput).

Cell companies spend billions on this and even then you'll still have gaps outside of the metro areas, and they're using much more advanced modulations like CDMA and FDM/TDM with a central coordinator.

I've talked with a fair number of people who maintain commercial repeaters in mountain areas and those can be incredibly difficult(combination of hard access in winter, large temperature swings and theft of solar panels/batteries) so which it might be possible, my guess is the level of investment just doesn't pencil out for the usage.

There are two more points.

If you are tech lead or manager, these frameworks are really great value because they "give" (or more like let developer find) guidance on a lot of aspects of the application.

If you created your own perfect framework, you would be responsible for providing a huge amount of that kind of guidance, but if you are using Spring your every developer can just google the answer to most (or even almost all) of the problems.

And the second point is, again, if you are tech lead or manager, these frameworks are great help preventing your "highly intelligent" developers from making a mistake and developing their own framework. I put quotes intentionally, because some developers just think themselves to be very good developers but dismiss the risks and costs of developing software that is not core part of the project (aka NIH).

With Spring regulating most aspects of the application any damage from those kinds of actions is also limited.
Very cool. How's uBlock Origin support? It's funny how these days I have to check before upgrading that uBO won't be crippled.
Do we have any idea on DFV’s net worth before this $13m (realized), $48m+ outstanding GME trade?

If he was smart enough to call this one out a year ago, was he already a millionaire from having been able to call similarly high returning trades throughout time?
The explosion in stack choices means no one can know them all. Also, even simple apps can have one or two areas where things get a bit complicated. "Simple" is relative and inadvertently implies things the author is familiar with.

I'd guess sqlite (for example) is fine for very simple apps with one user at a time, but that bar is pretty low. Yaml itself is not an issue, and intercooler/htmx is simpler than your JS picks. shrug
That's because the world is too complex and nuanced for such strict cutoffs to be stipulated in law. Just the number of products on the market is huge and changes all the time.

The law therefore specifies things in general terms and uses 'reasonableness', or "fitness for purpose", or what would be expected by an "average bystander" (in English law), etc. in the same way this piece of legislation does.

This allows courts and juries to then make a judgement on the infinite number of particular cases that get before them.
I think the more interesting part of the story (if I'm reading it right) is he paid $5000 to completely own a company with millions in assets.
a lot of dota2 builds require very intentional use of very small advantages with narrow timings. you'll see pros go in for a 1v1 kill the moment they hit level 5 and come out the other end with barely any HP, but that HP will be due to a minor totem they bought or a bottle sip in between hits or something
Your Success Is Not a Story
> only be made secure against a maximum of ⅓ byzantine actors

What is the threat model here, and in particular what is the outcome of a successful attack?

For example, if the only "power in the system" the attacker has is the ability to prevent transactions from occurring, then the attacker is damaging the value of their own coins. The honest majority could, as a last resort, also decide to manually fork the currency to invalidate the attacker's coins.

Assuming the ⅓ number is weighted by stake, the attacker is potentially risking billions of dollars in order to carry out this short-term attack. With that amount of money it would be cheaper to locate and destroy the major bitcoin mining farms.
> Your observation about young people with four-figure net worths thinking it’s rational to gamble it all on options is pretty much this week’s equivalent of those living paycheck-to-paycheck “investing” in the lottery.

It's not—the lottery is by design guaranteed to have negative expected returns. The stock market isn't.
Seems alright, but there's some major mistakes like Lich Bane on Xerath late game, Kraken Slayer on Jhin, full Maw early on Talon.

Looks pretty good overall though. I'd love to see this, but vs specific matchups which is the most important part of build optimization. The hard part of builds is choosing which item in certain scenarios.
Thank you for bringing this topic. I'm 40, in Brazil, senior soft. eng, experiencing the same thing (but I haven't Covid). I'm basically in a spiral of bad feelings, but guilty for not doing a good job is the worst.
Fear-driven boomer bosses thinking that Windows is easier than Linux, and that workers who know Windows are more fungible.

The reality is that a relative few people outside of Microsoft are actually experts, and that running Windows in large scale production is considerably more difficult than Linux.
>Robinhood cannot use customer funds to satisfy their collateral requirement

Of course they can. That's literally what they're for. When I buy 100 shares of SPY, the brokerage requires that Robinhood attaches a percent of required margin to submit the order to the settlement clearing house. Ideally, that's a percentage of my money, or their money, or whatever.

>And somehow naked shorts exist, which means that it’s possible to sell stocks without first posting 100% of that stock as collateral.

Naked shorting is illegal. You cannot sell shares you aren't able to locate and purchase. The GME clusterfuck happened because people bought GME and sold them short to somebody who turned around and sold those same shares short again.

>The fact that Robinhood needs to come up with external funding to secure a customer cash stock purchase (if I’ve understood the current rules correctly) is, IMO, bizarre at best.

They need to come up with cash due to the fact that they don't require your funds to settle before you trade with them. Basically they're fronting the settlement fee for you assuming that your money will clear before the settlement clears. ACH takes 24 hours, trades settle in T+2, there's some time for it all to happen. When the clearinghouse required 100 percent margin, it meant that Robinhood needed to put up 100 percent of the cost of the share you purchased before they had a single penny of your money. It's not that they won't settle at some point, but RH has to float large sums of money for a few days in the interim.
I agree - I can't wait for the query permissions API, I believe that has specs to solve this problem... Check it out here: https://webbluetoothcg.github.io/web-bluetooth/#permission-a...
They get a free pass from me. They behaved as expected (thus predictably), and saved their company. There has to be a feedback loop that limits Robinhood's (and any company's) abilities to handle meme trades. I didn't need any explanation from the CEO, because what was happening was obvious to me (and I know nothing about finance --- only that money isn't free and that there has to be a feedback loop).
is that really how it works?
No worries, hope it was helpful. It gets more complex for a real world case, as there are a number of factors that need careful balancing - too big a battery bank and it's hard to do the periodic rebalancing you need to keep the bank healthy, as it requires a significant amount of power, but infrequently. Too small a bank and you'll cycle your generator too often (lots of cold starts cause wear). If you never run your generator for very long, it'll probably be dead in a year or two from corrosion or similar issues - some have decent self exercise routines, but for many it's inadequate. Also, it's almost never a consistent predictable load, especially for households. Grid power benefits immensely from law of large numbers - any individual spiky demand someone does blends in when averaged over 100,000+ homes or a city of a million people, so you can predict and size things better. If you're the only user, your usage can swing from 50mw (standby power for something), or even zero mw - all the way to 11kw in the space of half second (welder). Way more orders of magnitude increase, and way faster than the grid will ever have to deal with. You'd need to decide if you'd want to be able to handle that, and if not, what you'd need to handle - and pay up front for the equipment.

It's almost never a problem to have 'too large' an array from an electrical perspective, but from a practical use of land/space and cost (especially when racking, up to code electrical lines, installation) it's really hard to not cut corners there. Most people end up with arrays that are too small in winter, or don't take seasonal insolation variation, shade, or similar problems into account enough.

Part of what has been helping with solar is dirt cheap financing. Even with nearly free panels, if you factor all the other associated costs in (if you're in the US, permitting can be a nightmare for instance), break even can be a decade or more out even with free money. After that it's not so bad though.

Fuel prices and logistics are like you point out a big factor. In my case propane isn't overly expensive and I can get it delivered. Diesel isn't super cheap, but not bad either. If you're paying $10/gal for diesel delivered, or have to go months or more between deliveries of substandard fuel, it changes the equation a lot.

OP never did reply with details did they?

Jennifer Senior's article about burnout is worth reading: https://nymag.com/news/features/24757/

Reading through that article was one of the things that helped me frame things when I noticed I was starting to feel symptoms of burnout a couple of years ago -- one line that really struck a chord for my situation was "level of caring couldn’t be sustained in the absence of results".

I caught my burnout fairly early, what helped me was (1) switching to part-time work for a month or so (mix of taking annual leave & some time in lieu for overtime, my boss was understanding when i had a frank discussion that stress from work was negatively impacting my mental health and i needed to triage that immediately) and then (2) switching away from the project and role that had been stressing me out to a new project and a role with less responsibility. Initially I found it difficult to talk about this and start taking actions to change the situation, but once I started taking action to change the situation things gradually started to improve. In hindsight it would have been better to talk through the problem and then take action to change the situation earlier.

I had gotten my head into a bad place after mentally assuming responsibility for the outcome of a work project in an environment where I had very limited control over the outcome. I was stressing myself out thinking about about work outside of the hours I was paid to work. When I was recovering, my mental model when thinking about the situation was that I'd constructed some black box in my mind full of work-project-related-concerns, and that when I wasn't working I'd habitually start thinking about stuff inside the box and then the box would start radiating stress and ruining my day.
Cryptocurrency continues to gain more ground but I still have my reservations about it being the currency of the future.

If by design, cryptocurrency has a finite volume of transferrable currency, do early adopters have an unfair advantage that could potentially make the currency unusable? I don’t see how it could possibly be fair when earlier mining yielded currency more quickly.
> Easily - it’s like saying “Consuming food is a necessary condition for human life”. That doesn’t mean all human activity reduces to eating food.

Similarly, if you build a machine to assist humans in consuming food you don't say the point of the machine is something other than assisting them in consuming food.

> But the elephant in the room is that if profit were the only motive, nobody would bother to start businesses in fields that aren’t very profitable. The fact that they do, is an existence proof that people run businesses for reasons other than profit maximization.

Right, but that seems to be missing the point. Which is that the business itself, seperate from the personal goals of the owners and employees, as an entity, has to attempt to maximise profit [because of the economic system it exists within] to enable the goals of the owners and employees. And further to that, if (and I've never said that it isn't an if) that becomes a driving factor, it subsumes the personal goals. For a business to grow to the level talked about, maximising profit has to be the driving force.

Edit:

> This is just affirming the consequent again, making the assumption that these business all have maximizing profit as their primary goal and that the only reason they haven’t grown giant is constraints.

Nono, these businesses are giant. They have grown giant, that's what this was all primarily regarding.
At this point, I wonder if you’re willfully not understanding the difference between customer funds for settlement and DTCC broker deposits to ensure an additional layer of customer protection/confidence, possibly because you think it shouldn’t be necessary.

In some ways it’s worse than the Chesterton’s Fence parable. You don’t see the point of the fence, so you pretend that it already doesn’t exist.

It seems perfectly fair to ask why this required broker deposit exists. It seems way less productive to ask whether it exists or to pretend it doesn’t.
Great from a manufacturing perspective, but I wonder what repairability is going to be like. It seems like it will be a lot more likely to write off a whole car if the whole frame is one piece.
There is F-droid but its success is unfortunately only moderate at best.

Not sure about this case, but owning all trading shares doesn't mean owning the company. A company may have only 2% of its value as public shares and the rest owned by the company itself.
> There's also orders of magnitude more money to be lost, because there's just more money on the table.

And my point is that the losing side of this is inevitably going to be the majority of people long $GME.

Billionaires can remain solvent longer than you can remain irrational.

Again, Melvin is almost certain to lose their shirts on this. But there’s many, many more hedge funds that are sharks circling the waters. And Melvin and WSB are both going to be their prey.
Just to expound on that point here.

While Tether's bank accounts being private is a problem for auditing, even if that were removed, you'd still have to somehow "snapshot" all the bank accounts an transactions, freezing things in time so you could ensure there wasn't a shell game going on while you audited.

This just isn't feasible with a federated system where each bank has their own ledger, and asynchronously tries to align it with a bunch of other ledgers.

Blockchains overall reduce throughput compared to this model, because they enforce a single ledger. But they do this while still preserving decentralized control, resulting in a tradeoff where you lose some scalability, but also remove need for a trusted mediator(s), and now anyone can audit a snapshot of the state at their leisure.
Now dark about dark pools and see how far up we really are
I don't understand this part:

> Basically, when you submit a trade on a broker, the exchange of money for stock doesn't actually happen until 2 days later, and the firm that handles that exchange is called a clearing firm. Before then, Robinhood just sends records: John bought 2 GME for $600, Mary sold 1 GME for $290. If that's all that happened that day, then Robinhood would need to provide $310 dollars to the clearing firm, and receive 1 stock.

> That's a credit risk - what if Robinhood doesn't have the money on settlement? The clearing firm would be on the hook.

Why would the clearing firm be on the hook? Can't they just refuse to hand the stocks over if Robinhood doesn't have the money to pay for it?
Unless there was something fishy about the share classes. Non-voting shares perhaps?
This is not just about money.
This saga shows how wide spread and bad those guys manipulate the market and they're are absolutely no rules to stop them.

In the end we may not destroy wallstreet but hopefully change the rules of the game to be fair for everyday small investor.
> This is a minor but users will be able to raise issues with developers directly instead writing comments over app pages which I think you would agree completely suck.

Would love to hear OSS App authors thoughts on this. I've seen some complaining about the review system on the App Stores, but I think it could also add a lot of maintenance burden, so wondering what they think.
