Using a real payment processor for credit cards is not a problem. Like it was around 2005, when most merchants had not settled on Klarna and similar.

Some merchants sell via Klarna to private customers and via invoice or pre-payment to a proper bank account to business customers.

Private customers are second class. No business would deal with this nonsense.

> Unfortunately (to me) the focus on ease-of-use has meant that OpenTelemetry concepts are structured in such a way to preclude even the possibility of a very efficient implementation

Looks like Opentelemetry (at least its precedessor, OpenCensus) is originated from Google. From OpenCensus website (https://opencensus.io/):

> OpenCensus and OpenTracing have merged to form OpenTelemetry

> OpenCensus originates from Google, where a set of libraries called Census are used to automatically capture traces and metrics from services.

Original internal Google tracing system was probably designed for scale. And opentelemetry's design is probably based on that internal system.

So, maybe poor performance is just an implementations issue.
I think for some schools, they give special scholarships to those who are 'mature students'. I don't think any of those scholarships fall under discrimination, so maybe this falls under the same umbrella.

But tech & STEM is rife with age discrimination, so you should still look into it.
Recently I have been also thinking about TeX's internals, also because I feel the pain points you describe in at https://www.finl.xyz/. I have too thought about experimenting with TeX rewrites/alternatives and particularly in Rust.

I don't know if you are aware, but finl has been also submitted to Lobsters (https://lobste.rs/s/udu5oe/finl_is_not_latex_reinventing_lat...). One of the comments mentions SILE (https://sile-typesetter.org/). I looked into it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BIP_N9qQm4 was nice introduction, although I don't know how up to date it is). It seems to me that SILE replaces many pain points in TeX, while being somewhat close to LuaTeX (and TeX in general), due to use of similiar components (Lua, alogorithms, hyphenation patters, libraries). It even supports "LaTeX" like input syntax, but frankly I don't think that is the part of LaTeX I would keep :).

Can you share your opinion on SILE?

> feels similar to tactics used to disrupt concentration and logical thinking (...) trolling, cheese strategies

Yes, we did plenty of that.

Between Internet cafe days and high-school SCBW matches, I think I've got a dozen people to fall for the simple trick of writing "[a bunch of spaces to manually center the message] nuclear launch detected" on chat[0]. Most of the times it only caused a laugh from everyone, but once I actually won a game this way.

It was the late phase of a match, myself and my opponent were in a sort of stalemate - his army held a strategic position; we both knew it, so he just held position, and there was no way I could get through[1]. Not sure how to solve this tactical riddle, I just pressed ENTER and sent the " nuclear launch detected" message. It caught him off-guard, and in a moment of frantic confusion, he decided to move his army elsewhere. Of course, there was no nuke, but I suddenly had an opening I could exploit and win the match.

EDIT: I miss the tactical depth of SC:BW. I haven't seen any other game that came close. Not even StarCraft 2. In particular, all the cheese strategies we tried against each other. Most of cheesing happened early-game, but I was particularly fond of creative abuse of Terran Science Vessels in mid-to-late game...

--

[0] - For non-SC players: Terrans have tactical nukes in their arsenal. Launching one causes a warning message (and audio) to appear for every player, which gives the opponent a few seconds to try and figure out where the nuke will land, and either kill the unit that's laser-guiding it in, or evacuate from the area. People who played SC a lot develop a habitual reaction to this message, overriding whatever they were doing and thinking for a moment.

[1] - I unfortunately don't remember the details about the tactical situation and composition of armies. All I remember is that I was playing Terran, like I almost always did.

> it's because customers like to use them and failing to use something like Klarna means their customers will shop elsewhere.

Looks like people are really offended by this. Agile lately has been looked at this silver bullet for software engineering. I have worked both in Cisco and some good startups and in my humble opinion having fast paced development and high feature churn rate really is unsuitable for a bank and other infrastructure companies.

Also by hipster, I mean that the banks don't have luxury to experiment with latest trends and the cool tools. They have to stick with the old proven methods.

>The training is intended to make these men aware of that in an effort to chip away at structural racism and its harmful effects.

I can't speak for anyone else, but as a middle-aged white man, I am well aware (and have been for decades) that I've been the beneficiary of white male privilege.

But aside from treating all humans equally, I'm not sure what else I can really do.

Should I interrogate potential employers as to their hiring practices and turn down job offers if the employer hasn't sufficiently included non-white, non-male candidates?

What does "sufficiently" mean in the context of the above sentence? And how should I interrogate potential employers about this?

What if I really need the job to pay my bills? Should I refuse to work at all and end up on the street so I can ensure that I don't receive any special privilege/treatment?

Should I give $20 to every non-white, non-male person I see to "pay them back" for the preferential treatment I (never wanted or asked for) received?

I'm not claiming that institutional and individual racism and sexism don't exist. Quite the opposite, in fact.

And I believe that folks should be (if they aren't already) made aware that these issues are real and negatively affect many people.

That said, unless I'm an employer/hiring manager, all I can do is treat all the humans around me with simple respect and judge people based on their actions, rather than their melanin content or type of genitalia -- traits which are irrelevant to the value of a person.

Edit -- I guess this isn't going to happen. More's the pity:

Perhaps I'm missing something in this discussion.
If so, I hope someone will enlighten me as to
what that might be.

Additional Edit: Apparently, I was wrong. Thank you to those who chose to respond positively rather than just rejecting my point of view out of hand. It's appreciated.
>On that note, from the very beginning China's reaction appeared extreme and overbearing

No, it actually did not. It was clear that they tried to hide it and downplay it in the beginning. But once the cat was out of the bag and you could see picture of clinics overcrowding, they figured out it as quite deadly. They were able to use both the lessons of SARS(due to which people were much more amenable to drastic measures) and being a totalitarian regime to suppress it.
Don’t know your specific circumstances and it sounds like it was kinda a rough birth so sorry. I will say that the cord wrapped around the neck is super common and something midwives deal with all the time.

Hmm, that's strange. I did some contract work for Klarna about a year ago and had to go through mandatory on-site training and a big chunk of that was with their legal team about data protection, GDPR, about storing the least amount possible etc. It sounded like they treat it very seriously, so this is surprising to me.

I do know there are various legal requirements to retain certain data for some time (PSD2 for example must be stored for 13 months, I believe), but outside of that, it sounded to me like they tried very hard not to store anything for longer than necessary or without user consent.

I mean, doesn't mean its true, just the impression I got from the training.

> Nobody gets harmed.

That is very obviously untrue, and makes me wonder whether you read OP at all. Do you think only physical harm matters? The public nature of accusations and ensuing arguments can have a very significant effect on business/career prospects, personal relationships, etc. Even if you successfully prove that the accusations are false, people's impressions are colored by the acrimony itself. There's another story on HN right now about collusion rings in academic reviewing, which demonstrates this effect. This could do huge damage to many people's academic careers, regardless of guilt or innocence or which side they're on.

If you have never known anyone that this happened to, count yourself lucky. Most people who have reached any level of prominence in any field have probably seen it happen to a friend. Pretending that things aren't real unless they've happened to you is kind of noxious.

Hey, it's fair to ask how this substance affects your well-being. It is a common misconception that CBD has a narcotic effect like THC. However, CBD is completely non-psychoactive, which means it does not create the euphoric feelings associated with other types of cannabis. CBD, extracted from industrial hemp, contains less than 0.3% THC and is considered legal. <a href="https://www.shoppingcbd.com/brand-reviews/green-monkey/">cli... the next website page</a>
Scientific ideas are one thing, however if scientific papers don’t have copyright protection then Sci-Hub should be legally fine. So, that doesn’t seem to be the case.
My understanding is that buying an NFT is essentially buying the right to control a cell in a spreadsheet (the "shared ledger"). If you buy the NFT, you are buying the right to have your name in the "owner" column of a line in the spreadsheet that corresponds to a particular media identifier, at least until you transfer that right to someone else.

Absent further agreement by the parties, buying the line in the spreadsheet doesn't mean anything. You don't actually own or control anything other than having your name in that cell of the spreadsheet, next to an identifier (e.g. a URL) that identifies a piece of media.

There could be a thousand lines in the spreadsheet tied to the same piece of media. I.e., the original author of a piece of media can sell as many cells in the spreadsheet as he or she wants.

Owning an NFT -- meaning controlling the cell in the spreadsheet -- does not mean that you own the copyright or even that you have a license to display or copy the work unless the copyright holder chooses to tie those rights to whoever is in the cell in the spreadsheet. It just means that you control that cell for the time being.

I haven't seen the terms for this particular NFT sale, but there is no reason that they needed to remove it from YouTube unless they decided they wanted that to be part of the transaction.
I can give my opinion/guess to your question, and I still have no idea how it relates to NFTs.
That there is a chance of undefined behavior is a statement without worth or meaning. It's like having an estimation method without an error bound.

In my experience, I run into "undefined behavior" in C-land extremely rarely. I can't remember a single instance in 15 years of embedded programming (unsigned/type promotion sure everybody does that at least once sometime, some weird architecture defined thing, nope). Maybe that's because I'm some super amazing C programmer, or that I read the docs, or maybe it's because the chance is low?

Regardless, people very often become hyper-focused in this types of debates to be point of being completely unbraced by reality. The valid way to do these sorts of language comparisons is to look at the the pros and cons and give them a weight. Something like this pro is (very good), but (rarely comes up in practical programming), or (This con is very bad) but basically only shows up in (interview questions), etc. Then take the sum of the weight of each side, rather than making statements like, "language has/doesn't have x feature/drawbrack thus I'm right about every thing yay!". I.e. if you are looking at a 10d problem in 1d, you're going to be wrong.

> Perhaps the mayor is doing 10x better job than her predecessor and she proposed this name change in addition to that.

Technically, the argument is that they are doing less work than their hypothetical counterpart who is identical in all respects, but did not spend time on making the name change proposal.

Clearly this is almost nonfalsifiable, so a difficult argument to take seriously.
We know every nuclear failure. We don't know every time a strong nuclear risk existed but by chance, didn't trigger. Nuclear power plants are probably much safer on average, but it only takes one corner cutting plant to cause a nuclear accident.

Skin-to-skin for children has been studied for a few decades, and the consensus is strongly in its favor, after a pile of studies have all pointed in the same direction.

This study isn't "skin to skin care is good." This study was aimed to answer the question, as contextualized, "We have established that skin-to-skin care for healthy children is good (pile of studies); for unhealthy children that have been stabilized is good (pile of studies), but is it good for kids that are still unstable? (controversy)"

"I'm skeptical of a single study" is only a valid criticism if you're familiar with the body of scientific literature. Otherwise, what you're actually saying is, "I'm skeptical of results that pop magazines and press releases have only surfaced to my attention once" - which is a shoddy mechanism for curating your knowledge.

Why not just use LuaTeX, either directly with Lua as a typesetting language, or with a custom language transpiling to Lua or compiling to Lua or LuaJIT bytecode?

Here is a solution based on LuaTeX: https://www.speedata.de/en/

Compiling to LuaJIT bytecode is not that difficult (see e.g. https://github.com/rochus-keller/Oberon and https://github.com/rochus-keller/LjTools).

If it's primarily about a better typesetting language based on TeX, then we already have e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ConTeXt.
A grant proposal would need to reassure the agency that the organization has the capacity to fulfil the promised research, so for a new organization without a track record of successful projects it will mostly hinge on the track record of the individual researchers they can attract; if OP can get some experienced PIs with big names and big CVs,then it would be plausible to get agency funding, but they will likely require nontrivial financial guarantees; but if they attract some fresh PhDs with "space to work rent-free" and a stipend, then yes, most funding agencies will not find their grant proposals competitive enough.

As a software engineer, I hate when I add a check for something "that will never happen" but that if happens is awful, and people complain.

A classic example: you need to get a user from a session, check against a database, and continue if they're signed in.

Then I add a simple if databaseUser.Username != form.Username and people will say "if that happens we've something worse wrong". Geez, something might be wrong and such double checking might provide to be useful.

On a smaller scale, bits flip due to cosmic rays and so on. Of course, there must be a limit where we stop, but people are used to actively avoid doing such "silly assertions" even for important steps.
