If, by the time your order reaches the book, there is a better price than your limit, you are entitled to it.

That is the best execution obligations of your broker.

In RH case, their intermediary bought at the better price and resold it to you at your ask, keeping the difference.

> Why would Xorg users care about XWayland

XWayland is Xorg. An Xwayland fix is an Xorg fix. An Xwayland bug is an Xorg bug.

> Those who contribute to Xorg and feel stuck could step up to maintain it, if they wish. (Don't they do it already?)

No one maintains Xorg anymore, so there is no one to review patches, merge and roll new releases with them.

There's a huge difference between wanting to fix a bit and becoming an upstream maintainer.

The maintainers left for good reason, and no one wants to be stuck with that turd.

> Then, I'm sure someone will step up.

It is not "over time", it is now or never.
That's because it sounds like Wayland has a security and isolation model that doesn't allow features like this

It's funny how differently people respond to that type of stuff.

I grew up playing pretty competitive sports. Being ripped apart in front of my peers was a once a week occurrence for me for most of my life. I had no interest in doing it to anyone else, but it didn't seem like a big deal, and didn't bother me much.

My first job was at a company where it happened a lot. I didn't realize how toxic it was until I started talking with co-workers who were having panic attacks from it.
There's a name I haven't heard in a couple of decades. Those neurons shed some rust when they activated :)
The interesting part to me is the notion of cost for the product: how much you pay upfront, or how much you intend to pay in integration work etc.

With cost in mind, documentation quality brings the total cost up or down and can change the calculation entirely. It’s also implicitly taken into account when a team builds a POC and reports the time spent on it. Depending on if it took 3 weeks or 5 days, it will be a completely different perspective.
Is an obsession with "disruption" over "improvement" wise for a system that moves hundreds of billions of dollars every day?

We were on T+3 a few years ago. Now we're on T+2. That wasn't the result of some whiny blog post, it was the result of gradual and careful operational improvements. There's a lot of work that goes on in the back and middle offices of those century-old companies.
You're right - it definitely wasn't close by the metrics of the bet itself, but to me, it was close enough to a degree that I found hard not to emphasize.

What struck me most was that all of the foundations for the kind of collapse he was describing - economic (income inequality) as well as environmental - became much more obvious after the COVID pandemic hit. So while he wasn't right that 2020 will be the end of civilization, does that really mean that our civilization (in this case, the West) isn't heading in that direction?
Other countries have, though, and they don't have millions of doses waiting for approval or factories waiting to spin up production.

The bottleneck has generally been manufacturing rather than approval so far. It may shift to distribution.
I don't think many of them would be truly devestated by having to move outside of Australia to continue making content about Australia. The layer of abstraction might be good for them mentally

Being within Australia for "left-wing" creators like "FriendlyJordies" or "Juice Media" seem to be just a way to attract the Eye of Sauron from the right-wing media pundits and websites like "Junkee" that are heavily sponsored by large banks and fossil fuel companies
The creation date of the CounterfeitingStock20Full.pdf file is Aug. 28, 2008. Going to the SEC site, it seems like there has been further regulation since then.

> I would say it falls in a gray area as it doesn't invoke any Indian deity and is pretty open to interpretation. It's functional equivalent in Indian Islamic tradition is 786.

Just because it does not invoke a particular deity doesn't mean it is not religious, and specifically Hindu.

Unlike many other Sanskrit phrases that can be interpreted in secular contexts, that one is quite specifically Hindu, especially of abstract Hinduism that is more a system of philosophy and political identity then an affinity for any particular deity of the Pantheon.

That all said, it's hardly surprising given that Indian culture has long had a tendency to distinctly mark even the most mundane and non-religious aspects of life with religious symbolism, regardless of the religion. The Enlightenment arrived relatively late to India, and with it the secular and religious dualism that is more pronounced in the West, which is why you don't tend to see scientific or technical documentation in the West imbued with religious symbols.
I confess to not understanding why people bother doing things like this.
I agree with most of these, but I pretty strongly disagree with #10 (don't use `!= null`). The reasoning is that you can use `null` and `undefined` to mean different things, like `null` being "no first name" and `undefined` meaning "haven't asked yet". I agree that strict TS lets you do stuff like that fairly easily, but I think this is a really bad idea, because there's nothing that would indicate to a reader of that code the meaning of `null` vs `undefined` for those properties.

I feel in that case you should have some type union of `"notAsked" | "none" | { t: "some", v: "Name" }`, because that would be more clear of what each possible value means. Let `null` and `undefined` be synonyms for `nil`.

"make them write code in the interview... Because now they can't program"

This comes across disrespectful and presumptious.

Firstly, do you believe that if you have not coded for 4-5 years you become useless just becauss you don't know the latest %fad% framework?

Secondly, the whole phrasing just conveys disrespect for cadidate, where the only responce to 'jump' is 'how high'.

If someone is interviewing for non-code postition they might tell you to take a hike.

The idea that a contrived 30 minute coding session tells you more about a candidate that studying code they've previously written or debugging together doesn't make awnce and is not supported by evidence

People argue companies like Walmart don't want to pay their rival Amazon for cloud hosting, but the truth is if AWS is the best cloud provider, it makes business sense to go with them
And disincentivize people from working? That's not a sustainable economic system. For a properly sustainable system, consider how Islam solved this problem over 1400 years ago. Zakat is the only form of "tax" if you will that is mandated. Interest and other predatory practices are prohibited (e.g. shorting). Once the fundamentals are correct, everything else naturally falls into place. It has been reported that during the rule of Umar II, there were no poor people left in Iraq to accept Zakat (charity) since everyone paid their share. It would be nice to see that happen again, but the modern financial system won't let it happen.

Thats true but do any brokers do that in their apps? Neither my Vanguard nor my Fidelity UI make it obvious when i’m using settled vs non-settled funds.
In almost any system, finding out where what files belong to a package is a trivial operation for the package manager to list.

The idea that a package is “installed somewhere” rather than “installed” and has files that “belong to it” seems to be a Windows-ism in mentality, where it is common to start applications by navigating to the folder they are installed in, and starting an execution there from an absolute path.

Many packages' files consist of nothing more than adding more fonts to the system, it seems a bad idea to me, to have all that in a per-package folder, rather than simply in `/usr/share/fonts`, and have the package manager track what file therein belongs to what package.
Yes, field of view is what really matters, but scaling at the OS level (like TFA's author is doing) is a good way to correct for unusual fields of view. Got a higher-than-typical DPI and/or ridiculously far away screen and/or vision impairments? Scale the OS up. Got a screen with lower-than-typical DPI and/or touching your nose and/or amazing vision? Scale the OS down. You need the entire OS scaled, not just web pages.

"CSS pixels" are kind of a roundabout way to conceptualize it, but they solve the problem of proper readability once the OS scale is correct for the user. The combination acts as a proxy for field of view.

Then there's detection of course/fine pointing devices, as already discussed, to further augment the layout for proper target area.

I don't believe anything else will matter if the above is accounted for.

Part of this is adopting a new narrative meant that they could write more stories, part of this is that some of the societal issues have become increasingly obvious, but I also believe that part of this tech's role in collapsing the media and inter-elite competition as well. So it's multi-faceted.
I kind of came to the same conclusion at some point. I normally find statically typed languages much more productive. If you’re working with all typescript libraries with great typings it’s probably great but the reality of the javascript ecosystem means you’re often wasting time getting the compiler to understand how a few dependencies should cooperate. That and the fact that I contracted on a few larger projects that were in a transition phase filled with ‘any’ which often meant little type safety but a lot of extra typing.
I mostly disagree with you here.

Checking for the existence of a key on an object is dirt cheap.

Even if you happen to have a case where it is expensive, there's absolutely nothing that says your typeguard has to take that approach.

I've seen some reasonably sane code that just checks that the 'Type' field of the object matches the expected value, and the 'Version' field is the right number. It's not going to catch all the possible errors there if someone breaks the api contract, but it's a lot better than a raw cast.

I think it's Google's position that the vast majority of people who go to Google's website don't actually go there to see the news. Hence why they're willing to remove news from search results all together. The regulation trys to prevent that, which is why they will have to remove their servers from AU.
My guess is they’re giving away a lot for free. Firebase free tier is almost too generous.
I'm talking about the past week events of a specific group of stocks, and that they were unpredictable for everyone.

It was unpredictable for WSB, for Robinhood and other brokers that paused transactions, for hedge funds, for the media, for everyone. Robinhood didn't know they would need to round up 2 billion + 3 billion USD, which according to the CEO he was notified of that capital requirement at a 3AM call (could be bullshit, but it was what he said).

If Robinhood predicted any of this, they would have raised that cash sooner and save themselves a PR nightmare.

You're the one that seems to not give the due credit to the whole thing - not credit in a moral/ethical sense, but in the achievement of an unpredictable set of escalating events.

To be clear, I didn't participate in any of these, neither I think the decision of anyone that joined it for the "lulz" is a smart decision. But still, I need to acknowledge all the chain of events was impressive.

The end isn't impressive, everyone knew how this was going to end.
The question is how to determine the value of non liquid assets in order to implement a maximum wealth tax.

Suppose I own land or a private company or a collection of copyrights that become very valuable. Who and how determines when it crosses the $1B threshold, and how am I brought under said threshold. What if the asset is not easily divisible?
Thing is, cbell doesn't make it personal (in any of the calls I've seen). It's about raising the bar. He demands quality, and he gets it. His weekly ops meetings have been imitated by other orgs, terribly, because they don't understand the point. They think ripping into people is the goal.

I was thinking about why Wingdings, a popular phenomenon in Word docs, didn’t translate into the web, chat, and mobile SMS until the iPhone let us add the Japanese emoji keyboard.

The technical difference that I can see is that Wingdings is mapped to English letters (I.E. the same code points), whereas emoji are mapped to their own code points. So while Wingdings are typed using the standard keyboard, emoji (still today) requires a dedicated program/menu/keyboard to select them.

Additionally, font is often ignored/lost in transmission, in things like email, web text boxes, SMS. So what made emoji just work is that it used unique code points, not reusing other characters’ code points.
I'd love to use Nix, but I'm using a lot of embedded devices which are tied to specific Linux releases (e.g. NVidia Jetson <-> Ubuntu). Trying to get e.g. a GPU to work on these systems with Nix is probably going to be a bad idea.
The crux of the argument really focuses on that "for profit" bit, and that's really a conundrum in corporate governance. The problem isn't at all "corporations", which are just assemblies of humans for a common purpose, but is the specific, legally-arguable requirement that their ultimate purpose is maximizing profit. The contrasting idea is the "public benefit corporation", where you're (presumably? IANAL) legally obligated to funnel your profits back into doing the job of the business better).

From a legal/ideological standpoint, this might be a powerful soft-pivot that would solve a lot of problems.

There's a famous line from Walt Disney, during Disney's golden age, where he said "we don't make movies so we can make money - we make money, so we can make movies". That really hits at the heart of it.

The interesting thing is that, to a large degree, most of the meaningful corporations that improve the world - despite nominally being for-profit companies, generally tend to operate halfways into public-benefit territory. Partly because the benefit provided by them is essentially what the owners are "buying for themselves". To put it in perspective - if you're an extravagantly wealthy patron who wants to - themselves - have animated films to watch, you can't just hire some off-the-shelf people to do it, because they don't exist unless an industry to train them, exists. There's not really a "more narrowly selfish" way to do it - you're best served by building some outfit like Disney to build a brain trust of people to produce what you want.

Similarly with Amazon; sure, an extravagantly wealthy individual could probably accomplish the shipping part of it with personal couriers, but the information-gathering part of it where all the products-available-to-buy are laid in front of you as choices would be nearly impossible to match. Like, you could try to match it with some awful, personal, potemkin setup. But by the time you put in all of that effort ... I mean, you're basically already building what could be a business that could serve others, so you may as well.
If you're going to dictate an opinion over an entire social structure, then it better be proven to work. My idea of an ideal society has already been proven to work in the past (look at the Islamic Golden Age). However, many of those in power today won't allow it to happen since it is against their interests.

I did disclosure my condition 4 days before the HR meeting where they fired me. Sent all my docs diagnosis and letter. I only acted based con my intuition what that meeting was about. Actually the meeting wasn't with HR but my manager, just in a weird hour (1am). I figured out HR had another call scheduled same time with my manager (which I was not invited) but public in the company calendar. I did it because I knew that I had to do it BEFORE the call. Even I had a call with HR and they supported me. They had enough time.

Do people do any analysis anymore or do they just repeat memes? i.e. "we put the customer first".

For reference, I'm someone who hadn't used amazon (i'm in Australia, and I've just had no need). These holidays was my first real experience with the amazon brand and the amazon website.

What I saw was an incredibly user hostile site: reviews mashed together from all over the world, and you can't even be sure whether they're reviewing the right product or the seller. Search that doesn't work and you're never really sure what you're getting and from whom. I was searching for keyboard trays and it quickly became apparent various products were all the same but just re-labelled cheap chinese output.

When I went to check out, i had at least 3 dark patterns encountered where Amazon was directly trying to screw me: trying to trick me to sign up for prime, promising free shipping on the click but then default you out of it when you check out until you go searching for it, and continually spamming me with offers for whatever their streaming service is.

They weren't "customer first", they were actively customer hostile. I don't understand how this keeps getting repeated, unless their tech side is completely different from their consumer side...

This!

I found it far more productive that going through rabbit hole of TS and its compiler. I write my `definitions.d.ts` for my objects, and use them simply

/** @type {ns.MyType} identifier */
const identifier...

and voila, my IDE gives me auto-completes and warns me when I'm doing silly stuff.

It works for functions as well using

/** @param {type} parameter name */

and is generally a good idea to use.

It gets you 80% of the way there with no compiler/transpiler (although one might argue that the IDE is compiling non-stop on file saves, with its language server).

I embraced Typescript when it was new and the Javascript standard was a total mess. It was leaps and bounds ahead and closer to something like AS3. At the time TS was godsend.

Today, JS + webpack gets you really far using the latest ECMAscript standards.

Same with IDE. The amount of stuff my IDE can deduct based on my few typings and my use of modern strict javascript has strongly reduced the need for another transpiler (on top of webpack).

I found jsDoc to be a perfect 80-20 solution.

Because at the end of the day, TS isn't a compiler, it's a transpiler. You're not compiling to bytecode in a vm, you're still in javascript.

This saves my bacon in the front-end. For the back-end, I most definitely choose a strongly typed language like Go.
