> I think you misinterpreted what I said. Rephrased: "in order to close out their positions, they must buy the stock". I didn't intend to state that they would close them.

They do not need to close out their positions until the stock becomes non-borrowable, causing their position to be called in.
In the short term maybe, in the long term, having achievements, voice chat, friends and invites may be good. I personally don't play games on Epic because I like having achievements and stats tracking for example. I'm not sure what the multiplayer experience on Luna is, can you invite people to play coop games? Voice chat with them?
They are. Just feels like there's negative connotation related to that, maybe it's just me though.

In casinoes house takes more than in stocks though and stocks are more nuanced.

Yeah, the example just shows the "even better" option: it gives a default value for the date parameter.
It was just another input button. It had capacitive touch and you could also press on the screen as a button. So there was a touch and a click. This more or less replaces the other BB's trackball functionality (which I think you could click as a button). So moving your finger around the touchscreen was like moving the trackball and pressing the screen as a button was like pressing the trackball button.

At a time where most apps were being designed for the touchscreen iPhone, most devs didn't take advantage of the Storm's device specific hardware, which is one of the reasons why it wasn't very memorable...
I don't wish you ill, but I wish you and your ideas had no effect on me. Which is more to the point - you are focusing on the wrong part of the problem. Trust and disinformation isn't the problem, the problem is the second order effects. It would be easier to reduce the potential damage that useful idiots and victims of propaganda can do to everyone else, than it would be to pull off the impossible trust+anonymity+benevolentFed scheme.
I can safely say that you can't make money out of this platform anymore, the user base is just too small. If I had to live with the donations coming from my apps for BB10 well, let's say I would have already starved to death ;)

A question in response to your question... Do you ever give an ALL CAPS name to a class? Why not?

Maybe it's the set of conventions I'm used to, but I find T, U, V familiar and IN, OUT jarring and dramatically less readable at a glance.
Please stop sharing your opinion on this topic if you don’t know what a short squeeze is. This thread is full of so much misinformation.
About #4, a lot of dystopian stories have an "outsider" with mostly our current culture point of view to show why it is a dystopia (sometimes is the reader itself, sometimes is someone that comes from a different planet, or an isolated community or slept in some way till that moment).

But for the people living on it (and all the process till reaching that point) it is just business as usual, life as it should be or like there is no better/realistic alternative. And leaving that dystopia means giving up on something they are not willing to leave.

You can't cure the symptoms without dealing with the disease, and we don't want to lose some of its core elements.

Good stuff.

I don't get the example for #3. I understand using "unknown" instead of "any", but both examples look effectively the same in terms of type safety.

I also don't get the example for #4. Side effects are the inherit "blind spot" of TypeScript. If you're really worried about your API changing on you, it seems like you'd be better off modeling it in something like JSON schema. Unless maybe your API is trivial.

You should submit a talk to one of our Write the Docs conferences (https://www.writethedocs.org/) -- this is a great start to a talk abstract :)
Regarding "don't use `x as Y` but instead use type guards".

Type guards have a runtime overhead, don't they?

(You could argue: "If TS can not infer the type at this point so neither can you. Better to check at runtime." But from my experience, sometimes TS is simply not smart enough.)
You need to put yourself in the shoes of the game developer, not the shoes of the consumer. As a game developer, you have a range of platforms you could potentially target, and because you run a business your decision of what platform(s) to target is a purely financial calculus. Each platform you target involves significant costs (including not just engineering but marketing, support, QA, etc.). As you make decisions about which platforms to target you are thinking both about how many copies can I sell per year at what price and what is the risk that platform ceases to exist before I recoup my porting costs. With new platforms, the later risk is statistically very high (not just re:Google) so you look closely for any signals you can find before going that route. A heavy investment in first party titles by the platform owner is traditionally one of the strongest signals of commitment to a platform. Without seeing that commitment, most professional game developers will conclude the risk of platform shutdown is too high to justify the costs. Unity3d is arguably the counter example, but at this point their market presence is strong enough to provide other signals to potential developers. Absent that strong first party commitment, most game developers will only port to a platform if they are paid to do so, and while Google almost certainly did that in the beginning the signals that they are continuing to do so are weak, again suggesting little reason to belief game sales will remain strong on the platform and little reason to believe the platform itself will remain alive.

It was a good pitch. Short interest of 140% at one point and the hope of a massive short squeeze. To bad those numbers are not transparent.

If you might need the money, how is donating it to Wall Street through day trading on -EV plays somehow better?

If you might need the money, it needs to be somewhere safe like a savings account or a CD. Once you have an emergency fund, you can start saving in higer-risk/higher-reward +EV investments like index funds.
That is not what any of the vaccine studies have said so far. I haven't read this one, but I bet it also doesn't say this.

The stated efficacy/protection percentages that have been presented so far have been for the reduction of _symptoms_.

There haven't been any studies on vaccines preventing infections, probably due to lack of resources for testing everyone in a trial multiple times.
My favorite example of this is image sharing for large extended families.

If most people thought about it, they don't actually want pictures of their kids all over Instagram, but it's a way to distribute them and, after a fashion, back them up. We don't have to worry about the matriarch's house burning down and taking out our photo archive with it. Or her clicking on a malware link and wiping it all out.

If they had a piece of software that wasn't designed for building a startup (deeply technical, highly fiddly), Uncle Bob and you and your nephew Timmy could host geographically redundant copies of the data that the group has access to.
>"Conclusions. Societal norms and government policies supporting the wearing of masks by the public, as well as international travel controls, are independently associated with lower per-capita mortality from COVID-19."

Fine, still correlation doesn't mean causation

>Numbers vary across studies and materials, but a mask of a single layer of moderate thread count cotton is 80-100% effective at filtration depending on particle size.

The issue is the virus is smaller than the mask pores.

what i mean is both asymptomatic case + mild symptom combined

I would pay a lot of money for a blackberry 7500 based phone. With some minor upgrades to make it work with modern paradigms )I do want to be able to use signal).

The world I want is where my media device (for tik tok, Spotify, Facebook, etc) and my work device are physically different, and tailored specifically to their purpose.

Nothing released since then had even come remotely close. It had hardware buttons, the scroll wheel based interface on the right hand side, the recessed screen, email as a first class feature.

That device was perfect and if it had Nextel PTT, it was transcendently so.

Here’s a lesson for people running companies now: BB failed when they stopped marketing to boring suits, and started trying to compete with the Motorola RAZR, then the iPhone. The phones got glossier, lost their recessed screen, got smaller, and eventually when the trends shifted, they got left behind.
One advantage of keeping it behind the windshield (aside from having a higher point of view), is that they get automatic camera cleaning from the windshield wipers (plus defrosting). If they put it lower behind the grill, then they need a completely separate cleaning/defrosting system.

This is indeed how it started. Bloomberg's Odd Lots podcast also had a recent episode with one of the other main guys behind the original, fundamentally driven trade. It's well worth listening to. He makes some good points that the company was indeed undervalued in the teens and lower. Obviously, that is no longer where it is trading, and unless they turn into the Amazon of video games somehow, a valuation of well above $100 seems excessive.

trivia: `which` is not the same which on all distros - on Ubuntu for example it's a super simple shell script named `which` which supports one single param (-a), not the compiled binary that you have on say Arch - and the features are different between them - I can't for example run `which --skip-tilde which` on Ubuntu, invalid usage.

Many scripters who need wide compatibility of "which" fall back to the builtins `type` and `command` as they resolve any bash aliases set and give you a more truthful (sic) output than relying on `which` and bash is bash on all platforms:

# command -v which
/usr/bin/which

# type which
which is hashed (/usr/bin/which)

$0.02 for your next adventure down the `which` rabbit hole. :)
I am not quite sure if everyone else is ready for this.
I've definitely used them in the way the article describes. Think about an API that gives a list view and then a detail of an object that has more properties than are sent in the list view (maybe because they are expensive to compute or maybe just to save bandwidth). This scenario can definitely be more accurately modeled with interface inheritance than with optional properties.

No. I am bringing up the fact that form and function are always separated in our industry and that this is fundamental to the entire industry making your initial statement categorically wrong.

It's obvious that abstractions have costs and it's obvious that sometimes things are designed holistically. But these obvious things are off topic. The point here is that your initial statement is completely and utterly wrong wrong wrong.

Please stay on topic. Are you still claiming your initial statement is right? or are you now claiming it's wrong? Don't change the topic into the industry "passing the buck to UI and UX" this is not your initial statement.

I like the "why we do it" part in every section. Kudos to the author for that.

However, the type guard section seems a bit off to me. Is the suggestion to check each and every property of `Product` in `isProduct`? Seems a bit verbose.

I tend to use Axios, which uses generics to set the payload return type (obviously, some trust in your API responses is needed here):

axios.get<Product[]>(...);

Dante's descendant seeks to overturn poet's 1302 corruption conviction
As I'm sure your aware, those mechanisms aren't ideal. There are performance, maintenance and various other problems with them. They exist because distro's are compiled to the lowest acceptable common denominator and then libraries/etc are swapped in as needed. For something like x86, this is an acceptable tradeoff because there is an expectation that a distro boots on a 25 year old computer as well as the latest amd/intel offerings with a ton of new instructions.

That said, if you rebuild many apps with -march=native, -flto, etc there are frequently large performance benefits due to the compiler being able to selectively use things like AVX512/whatever for random code sequences where calling out to a library function, or checking for feature existence at runtime wipes out much of the perf advantage.

A large part of the advantage of a new architecture would be avoiding all this crap. If it comes baked in from the start that isn't a good start, considering what it will look like in a decade or two.
If one were, hypothetically, trying to execute a pump and dump, what message/advice would be ideally the most common?
There shouldn't be an exact moment you switch to a conservative portfolio. As you get nearer to retirement, you gradually rebalance. Often this is as easy as simply placing new contributions in safer investments. Less often it just involves exchanging one set of funds for another, say once per year.

Again, Target Retirement funds handle this completely transparently for you and require literally zero hands-on involvement.

This is quite simply nowhere near as hard as you're making it out to be.
> The author's proposed solution is for sites to use DPI instead, but this would thwart the preferences of users who use scaling because they want the whole site to look bigger.

Agree. I sometimes browse the web on my TV - and I sit about 2 metres (or 6 feet) away from it. So the TV screen occupies a similar portion of my field of view that a phone would, and I usually browse at 150-200% zoom.

DPI might help you figure out the size of the screen, but it doesn't tell you how much of a person's field of view that screen occupies, which is what really matters.
Thanks for this, can anyone recommend what actual tool they prefer to write, publish, and manage documentation with? I'm aware of Sphinx, etc but I'm considering just using one of the many markdown related static generators, is something with a back-end(cms) better?
> this story attracted the attention and money of thousands of clueless newbies

As an exercise in this theory earlier today I looked up the profile for 5 or 6 of the top posts on the subreddit advocating for "diamond hands", and about half of them made their first post on WSB within the past 5 days. It's very clear that the users going down with the ship are not the same users who pumped it up for massive profits in the first place.
"...so let's burn some more of the world."
How come I know for sure this will fail?
I think if and when the newbies get burned, they will disappear and forever write off WSB as a personal scam. I'm thinking like the common folks that bought BTC at $19K in 2017. I really don't think too many of them have bought back in after they sold for a loss and likely want nothing to do with it ever again.

> So if someone says "I won't give you X software unless you pay Y dollars" that is fine

How can you say that though if someone can just get a copy from a peer without paying you? People just go around the paywall and grab a free copy without payment which is why DRM exists at all. So then I make it so the software has to connect to a server to check if you've paid for it, and now suddenly that's mistreating the user?
> GNOME doesn't work for you. GNOME uses Wayland, but the bugs you experienced are not the fault of Wayland. They're the fault of GNOME.

Yes, but I, and I believe most people talking about Wayland mean "user experience on current Wayland implementations", of course.

> None of that has any bearing on Wayland

No, Wayland is not a project that can stand for itself. It drives, needs and causes further work and implementation in compositors, Window libraries, applications, distributions, etc.

Wayland on it's own is a academic coriosity. Wayland that "works" for anyone is a interplay between diverse forms of software implemting or relying on parts of it. Getting Wayland to work is were the problems are, not in the protocol (at least I assume so, I don't have any real insight into it).

And that "Wayland stack" is not (completely) working for me.

Then again I don't post on the Wayland bug tracker, but on the gnome one and I don't want to make excuses for

> spiteful people who choose to use the botched GNOME roll-out to harass anyone who has anything to do with Wayland

Harrasment has no place in in this discussion, no matter what one thinks of Wayland.

... But op was not really about that (at least I didn't understand it like that). It was about "wayland not working" being lies and people not getting it being either malicious or so fooled they are living in a fantasy.
Yes, they appear to be very effective at making their fund managers money
Type guards do have a runtime overhead (since they're functions that get called), but so does any other method of validating untyped data at runtime. That's probably the 99% case with type guards, so I feel like the specific overhead on that isn't such a huge deal since anything else (e.g. runtypes) would probably have more.

(I can think offhand of one case in the last year where I've wanted to use a type guard for a reason that didn't have to do with runtime validation, anyway. Even then, it wasn't the solution I ended up going with.)
What's the other project?
> relevant to the content the website presents

Depends on your epistemology whether or not it's ad hominem. If you "believe" the content based because of the source's authority, then it is relevant to the content and is not ad hominem.

But in this case, we hardly need to pass judgment on the source.
Not super S100 focused but, in the early 80s, I used an Alpha Microsystems S100 multi-user system with a WD16 processor. Later, the company I worked for, a video production company, upgraded to the 68000 based Alpha Micro. The whole company ran on that thing, accounting, writing and I even wrote a small program allowing it to control a Chyron Scribe video character generator in the edit suite.

I remember liking the system very much but admit that I didn't have much with which to compare it. I thought their OS, AMOS and AMOS/L, was great.

Someone I know who knew Bill Gates fairly well at that time told me that Alpha Microsystems was a company that truly scared Gates.

In 1986, I met Dick Wilcox, one of the Alpha Microsystem founders as he was buying a Pitts S2B at the Auburn, WA airport.
