One of the best retrofitting effort there is is Java's Loom IMHO.

Instead of trying to solve the IO bottleneck on a few threads with async, it just reduces the Thread footprint and allows you to have millions of them.

Good'ol Tomcat is going to massively improve its IO concurrency overnight with just a simple `Thread.builder().virtual().factory()`.
The story of how they took $32 million from Hertz for a website that never saw the light of day is a good read.

> Despite having missed the deadline by five months, with no completed elements and weighed down by buggy code, Accenture told Hertz it would cost an additional $10m – on top of the $32m it had already been paid – to finish the project. [1]

Good work, if you can get it.

This line of thinking is low effort and pointless. There's no hate here (in fact, I said love). Tools are meant to be helpful and talking about how to improve them is always good.

Git has lots of configs that are automatic and shared and that you can locally override yourself such as the ignore and attribute files. Why not more? I have no issue (and in fact prefer) if clients can override the projects configuration but git should support a turnkey workflow, at least for its own features. As it stands, you can't add submodules seamlessly, for example.

Its not about adherence. Workflow as Simon-Says is just a bad workflow. This stuff should take zero cognitive load.
This is a valid point in general, but for top tier currencies such as Doge, there are literally hundreds of exchanges with such orderbooks so it's not a concern.

Further, most large trades don't take place on exchanges public orderbooks, but on private OTC desks with separate books, for this reason.

Generally, large buyers are matched OTC to large sellers at prices a little different to the on-market, but better than relying on on-market liquidity.

The same happens in traditional finance, or anywhere. For example, if a taxi company wants to buy 1000 cars, they won't attempt to get them from the local yard.

I have no idea what are you trying to show.

If

a) the customer pays 100+tax for the repair (which includes in this very simplified model 50+tax for the supplies and 50+tax for the value added by the repair shop)

and

b) the tax goes from 21% to 66%

then

c) the customer will pay 166 for the repair instead of 121.

That's what I said in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26967392

I don't see how "work will be relatively cheaper". The VAT applies to everything.

(It's also confusing that you say that the benefit is used to pay the salaries, by the way. And if what you call "benefit" is used entirely to pay the salary then no corporate tax will be paid because the company will be losing money.)

It is totally the worst thing. My kids never really adapted to it and a lot was driven by our commute. Funny thing is a year in and they still manage to wake up at 6:30-7am without alarms or waking them up. Granted they go to bed by 9pm so it’s at least 9-10hours of sleep a day.
Not parent. The few YT channels that I know of and that produce worthwhile stuff are either unmonetized or can be supported via merch or directly, so no harm done blocking ads.

Especially now that there's ads even on videos by unmonetized channels and YTers who do and share shit because they authentically enjoy it. You know, those that made the site worthwhile in the first place in 200x.

And the mind-crushing amount of clickbait and spam by "professional content creators"? Well, that can go the way of the dodo.

But "very liquid" is relative to the amount of the entire commodity you could theoretically sell.

Stocks are "very liquid" because, outside of some share classes, you could theoretically buy nearly all the stocks. Even more importantly, you could almost always sell your entire portfolio in a single day if you wanted to, for the vast majority of stocks.

BitCoin, is that "very liquid?" There are thousands of trades every day, but what would actually happen if someone tried to unload "all" of the coins? If Satoshi popped up and tried to sell their coins, which are nominally worth over $8 billion, could they do it? Almost certainly not.
I mean I think in terms of maintainer resources Linux is one of the projects with the least to worry about, there are always companies who are willing to have a team work on stuff.
There are, but... Incoming rant:

The one big thing about iMessage is that it never really changes. And it cannot be hijacked by some other application like on Android. For better or worse, and for basic services like text messages I'm erring on the side of better. I have no idea how many times I had to go fix messaging issues when my grandparents were using Android. Facebook tried to take over all messaging. Then it was Google, with whatever iteration of failed messaging application they were pushing out. Or when they had phones that actually received updates it would suddenly drastically change the user interface.

We're having weekly video calls on FaceTime, and the superior sound quality of a FaceTime Audio has made it possible to even have a phone call with my hard of hearing grandpa. They don't even know they're using it. I send them high resolution pictures and videos of my hikes, that they can enjoy on their iPhone or iPad, whenever they want. Pictures and videos stay there without them having to do a ton of complicated tasks in a forever changing user interface, like Snap and the likes. The Apple Watches lets them know when someone is calling, and it gives us peace of mind knowing that they always have it with them. Everything uses a format they're used to from long before smart phones was a thing: Phone numbers. My grandmother is writing her life story on her now 7 years old MacBook Air. All their devices are backed up to my iCloud-family subscription. We've started using AirPods with Live Listen to include my grandpa in our conversation when I'm visiting them. If you haven't tried this, you should. It's mind boggling good.

The amount of time spent fixing things for them have gone from an almost weekly thing to non-existing. Being seniors they also have a lot of time on their hands, and Apple-partnered stores, at least around here, provide excellent support for anyone that owns an Apple device, regardless of where it was bought. All their devices are updated almost effortlessly: They get a notification about a pending update that tells them exactly when the device will be updated and what they need to do. The one big wish I have would be to postpone major updates for a couple of months. The recent trend of Apple radically changing the user experience is not a welcoming trend.

There's a lot of things I've really started to hate with Apple. And to be honest, at this point the things I just listed are more or less the only things holding me back. But the things mentioned in this post is such a huge quality of life improvements for all of us, almost like a cliché of Apple advertising. It's almost embarrassing.
From the abstract of the study: "A 0.1 standardized decrease in adiposity was associated with either 52 minutes more sleep, 56 minutes less sedentary time, 65 minutes less light physical activity, or 17 minutes more MVPA."

With MVPA being "extra exercise".

Interesting, how light activity is negatively associated. For adults its often suggested otherwise..

UBI is a better thing, when you have extreme inefficient bureaucracy, and need to deal with it on a daily basis, this is not a good thing, it is actually slowing down the good parts that are left in the economical system

You want to get rid of unproductive people hindering the productive ones, and UBI is a much better solution.

So it's not organic, unless you mean like cancer is organic, in that sense I might agree.

UBI in contrast, can be seen as something more benign

Most of these services companies, seem to thrive because executives in client companies can have someone to shift blame in case of implementation issues or roadblocks.

The whole IT consulting thing is a "shift the blame" game, at-least in large corporations. You have a project, a specification is made, a consultant selected, work offloaded. Consultants aim is to increase billing hours. So they develop a barely spec fitting application with a lot of loose ends, so as to maximize the recurring maintenance revenue down the road.
> They deal specifically with crimes that involve international transport. So this is human trafficking, drug smuggling, money mules, etc.

So Signal is being used for human trafficking? And they are deliberately making it easy to do that kind of activity on Signal without law enforcement knowing? Sounds like the app stores should ban them and AWS should kick them off.

I disagree with the above sentiment, but I think end to end encryption apps will be treated like that in the near future.
I had to wake up at 4:45 am for school every morning (and I had and have sleep apnea) because the bus ride across town to the "magnet" school (Trace, which burned down and was rebuilt) took 90 minutes each way. (3 hours of useless travel as the bus made what seemed a hundred stops, almost like a Hilbert curve.) I was not allowed to go to the school a block away (the original Allen Elementary before it moved into Steinbeck Middle School), within walking distance, only because I was white. That's how "desegregation" worked at the SJUSD in the mid-80's and late-90's.

Also, there were a group of girls on the bus who harassed me by repeatedly exposing their privates towards me with impunity. It didn't matter if I ignored them, it happened for at least 2 years.

After reading the thread I can kind of see why both sides have a good argument.

The provider of the repo seems to have created this as an opinionated way to lay out a Golang project, so that if you're new to golang you can skip some yakshaving over how to set up your directories.

Russ's issue seems to be that this is describing itself as _the standard way to lay out a Golang project_, which it shouldn't.

Most of the commenters seem to think changing the name would resolve this issue, and I'm inclined to agree. Opinionated frameworks aren't really a new thing, and while this isn't a framework per se, it's definitely opinionated.
No, my point is that having a high inheritance tax leads to improved efficiency of capital markets. The Lee family have relied on literally illegal manoeuvres (they rigged a shareholder vote on an subsidiary acquisition) to maintain control, it is best that a company is guided by economic motives and not dictatorship by minority groups (again, the cost to Samsung has been substantial, that is why the company has pretty much always traded at a heavy discount).

I would read more about Kun-hee...the issue with the orgies is not moral judgement, the issue is that it paints a picture of someone who has a lot of other stuff going on: he spent almost no time at work (reportedly, he was obsessed with films and spent 95% of his waking time comatose watching films), he made others treat him as essentially a God...which, tbf, he basically was in SK...he was convicted of serious crimes twice, he oversaw massive political corruption (he gave literally tens of millions to individual politicians, his total bribes are probably in the billions), he gave impromptu incoherent rants that lasted multiple days that senior execs had to attend, no-one was allowed to make eye contact or look at him whilst their eye level was higher than his, factory workers weren't allowed to park within eyesight of his office, anyone who met him had to eat a mint before they spoke to him...this is just a small subset of the crazy shit...it is always funny to me that people will abandon all logic in order to reflect in their own self-regard (the reason why people say having prostitutes with orgies doesn't matter is because they want other people to know they are very liberal and forward-thinking...if you actually care about making money, it is difficult to think of a worse sign).
I guess I should also add that with the current web version, you can opt out of sending telemetry data via cookie preferences, and with the Premium version you choose whether or not you want your data persisted or not. (there is also a button to remove all your data at a later date if desired). Perhaps something else that might be helpful to add is an import/export button so you can save and load data locally(?)
The tax man will put a lien on the building and get their money when the building sells. This idea that being given billions of dollars (as the Lee family was) is somehow a bad thing or has downsides is just ludicrous propaganda.

For any billionaires out there, if you have unwanted buildings or want to punish me with a large tax bill, I will accept the punishment. Call me maybe!

By doing all of the computation of user data clientside, and making all of the persistence in localstorage.

It’s very doable, especially with small data.

Unfortunately, you have to take projects’ words that they do this on good faith as an end user. You’d need to GET the app bundle, and then firewall the tab / disable your network interface to be certain that no data is leaking out. It’s not so easy to control this as an end user these days, and web apps can be quite sneaky.

Maybe we’ll see some innovation in this space from browsers in the future, where an app can identify itself as local only and then be sandboxed by the browser.

Hello! Author here - I had a few friends who worked at Accenture in the past, and always wondered what they do...and why they're worth so much.
