> It's a lot easier to manage from a business/accounting point of view a SAAS then your own homebrew.

Hmm I would have to disagree here. This is something that most platform teams could build, deploy and forget about. Setting up an account, getting procurement to pay for it, not being able to see why it’s down etc just seems like a lot more hassle.
The "P" in Progressive Web App: https://infrequently.org/2015/06/progressive-apps-escaping-t...

Reminds me of the "P" in Progressive Enhancement: https://blog.tomayac.com/2020/01/23/progressive-enhancement-...

There are many valid reasons to support the full "PWA experience" and have fallbacks that works without JavaScript, and it is attainable. I have personally built PWAs that work offline with JavaScript enabled, as well as with a network connection without JavaScript enabled.

It might be better to think of a PWA as a regular high performant "mobile first web application" that took the right vitamins. ;-) The vitamins in this case are usage of service workers and a "Web app manifest."

From my perspective, the "Offline First" + "Mobile First" approaches have produced the most progressively enhanced web applications that I've even seen.
They'll have to build their own app and the rest of the checkout system themselves.
I fully support Apple and the rules they have to protect the ecosystem they have created.

They got shat on over and over again for their decisions while they got the iPhone/iPad/App store off the ground (not supporting flash, etc) and they stuck to their guns.

Their reward was an extremely profitable App Store and device lineup.

They deserve the success they have and they have every right to protect the walled garden they have built.

The entitlement that some of these companies think they have that they just show up with a crappy game and loot boxes and think they get to dictate the rules. Sit down young’n.
It's funny because we all think the grass is always greener and yet.. my most recent 2 job leads:

* a firm that was demanding devs return to office already in January pre-vaccine, justifying it by paying for Ubers & doing PCR testing in office

* a firm which in its job-spec explicitly listing that "8a-6p are standard hours" and "plus other hours as required for role / due to support / meetings out of region / some flexibility required"

I don't know about most. Yeah, a lot of users peddle tiny amounts to cover their own consumption. Some dude sells a couple ounces of weed to get one free. A lot of street-level dealers don't use their product. They're hustling, it's a job. And the middlemen above them don't want them consuming the product. Junkies are not good dealers.
Not everyone takes an action item out of the meeting. Some people provide information to the meeting. But if you're not contributing or taking something away, you should go, yes.

I use 2 giant plain-text files.

One for notes. The other for to-dos.

I use git to sync to a private git repo using my own app https://github.com/tanin47/git-notes (work with Mac, windows, Linux)

My priority is that I want my notes to live forever. Using GitHub seems to achieve that purpose. (I used many notes app before which I threw away when moving to a new app)

One of the scariest videos I've ever seen in my life is this asteroid impact simulation: [1]

After watching it I couldn't believe the world wasn't making preventing this sort of a catastrophe a high priority. Instead, if you talk to most people about seriously funding asteroid impact prevention you're likely to be seen as some sort of paranoid nut.

People think they have much bigger things to worry about. Well, it doesn't get much bigger than this.

We know that, say, 60 hours is too many. And 10 hours is too little. So there must be a most efficient number in between; why would it be a round number like 40, the exact number we happened to decide on decades ago? Science sounds like the best way to find that number.
Printed carbon resistors used to be reasonably popular in the 80s and 90s [1]. The process fell out of fashion as components and assembly became cheaper.

You just said you where using g! constantly. As someone that never had that issue I can only assume you simply never learned how to use DDG.

For example, it’s not using your location behind the scenes so “restaurants near me” doesn’t work. But swap to say “restaurants near ZIPCODE” and it’s fine.

I bring this up because oddly enough I had the opposite problem yesterday. When using a friends phone I just couldn’t find what I was looking for until I swapped from Google to DDG. From 15 useless queries to first try third result.
Sideloading isn't in the best interests of apple.

Anything apple says is an attempt to keep it's shady business of a gold mine

This is something I've given some thought to recently. I'm surprised that no CAD software (or at least none that I've used) has a, for lack of better terminology, "functionality markup." There's extensive infrastructure for mating parts in assemblies and validating designs with simulations, you'd think that someone could think up a good way of going in reverse, at least for common use cases. There should be a way to feed in some abstraction of the design requirements and get a design tree that meets those requirements. For example in the case of the hex head nut, there should be a way to describe a wrench as a combination of mates and simulated loads such that a CAD program can figure out that the flat-to-flat measurement on the nut is critical, and I should be able to open up a model of a nut and mark it up in such a way as to communicate "this gets turned by a wrench."

While probably useless for such a trivial case, one can easily imagine a case where multiple very different geometries might be appropriate for a task depending on the value of some other parameters, for example maybe I have a design with everything on one side to make machining easier, but the moment I have to add a feature to the other side it makes sense to switch a bunch of those features to the other side as well.
Many architectures include a logarithm instruction. Does Java use that if available? Would it make a difference?
Before popunders then?
Neither Square or Toast support PIN entry, whereas a Clover (made by First Data, the largest processing platform) and Ingenico/Verifone equipment have the proper hardware to ensure physical security while they encrypt the PIN in transit back to the bank your platform uses to process the transaction.

PIN Debit transactions are less expensive to process since there is less risk, but it adds complexity (First Data has many different bank keyloads like Carlton 500, Wells 350, etc depending on the bank that is underwriting the chargeback risk for your account if your company folds).
Do you honestly think that PayPal will continue collecting payments from German customers for you if they get a court order from a German court telling them to stop?

You might be able to continue selling a small amount to a few Germans who have a bank account in another country or who will pay you in cryptocurrency, but the vast majority of your customers won't go to the trouble.
Yup. I lived in Asia for a while and toddlers ride on scooters without helmets. Shocking!

I just built a nice little prison for the dot to live in.

I'd guess a necessary enhancement to make it more of a game would be to have it pop the dot when it hits so you can never rest easy.

Well, manually floating the point in a string is sure to bite again and again too, but way more frequently than in binary.

There is actually no better way, if you try to calculate over the reals (with computers or whatever you want), you are prone to be bitten. Once in a while there's an article about intervalar algebra on HN, those are a great opportunity to just nod positively and remember all of the flaws of intervalar algebra I got to learn on my school's physics labs. (And yeah, those flaws do fit some problems better than FP, but not all.)
There's also the possibility that the answer was correct when written. Especially with web stuff a year old answer could be completely wrong now.

Bear would have been fine if it wasn’t subscription based and allowed me to choose a sync option like dropbox or iCloud sync and let me have local files. FSNotes has years , at this speed, ahead of it. Everything else is just sad Electron - web apps masquerading as native apps. No I don’t like Joplin interface.

Also, among Apple cloud offerings or iCloud suite Notes.app is the only one probably that doesn’t suck disgustingly. But then I don’t trust Apple to keep the sync working fine as they deprecate apps too soon on older OS versions.
procps may not be installed by default on BSDs or VMS or whatever other *nix flavour the person has. But then again quite a few of those systems also don't use bash as default shell(or at least didn't use to), so when the person above asks about "writing a bash script to just do" it's safe to make some assumptions about the target audience.
This was a doozy.
I don’t think screen printing works very well for features below 50 microns. And it’s tricky to control the thickness of deposition too.

There are several other printing methods that are faster and more precise - like roll-to-roll gravure, flexo or offset printing. There’s a lot of innovation happening in this space to get very small features printed extremely fast.

That will work until German law enforcement notices and gets PayPal to shut down payments to you from German customers. They won't even work with legal but controversial industries like pornography. They aren't going to stick their neck out for something that is flagrantly illegal.
Implementing even relatively small features at Amazon takes quite a bit of effort, usually across multiple teams. The codebases are enormous, the number of services involved is inevitably at least a handful, athe side effects of a change can be hard to reason about, etc. The idea that a single engineer is going to implement a feature for one customer in some really short timeframe is just not in ballpark of reality.

And even if that were a fathomable process, one must consider the opportunity cost of assigning engineers to one-off feature work rather than on vetted roadmap features. This sort of thing is frequently done at small companies trying to save an important contract or similar, sometimes to great detriment. Amazon isn't a place where a single customer (apart from maybe US government) has such pull.
I already mentioned China and India which are >90% of the technology outputs from the economies you mentioned.

One would expect a country the size of Pakistan, Turkey, Malaysia, Brazil, and Mexico to produce something. It is not surprising that they do.

Are you current with the fact that FAANG+M alone are bigger by orders of magnitude than the tech scene in any of those countries AND, importantly, that they are growing much faster?
Yep. My understanding is that the strictness of penalties has almost no bearing on the murder rate. Most murders are either crimes of passion, or committed with the assumption the perp will never being caught. Murderers aren't thinking - "Hm, 20 years of prison I could handle but 25 years is too much. I suppose I won't murder my wife when I find her in bed with another man."

Increasing the penalties for murder is an extremely ineffective way to reduce the murder rate.

Society and the environment would benefit enormously by being able to repurpose old iPhones and iPads. Side loading would make these devices significantly less likely to end up in landfill.

That benefits everyone except corporations.
The only thing that surprises me is that this isn't a bigger number. Doing a quick google, there are over 1.4 million active duty people in the US military. Over 10 years, losing only ~2000 guns is actually not that many, lets say ~200/year, with that large of an org is pretty impressive. Some reports have the amount of guns in the military to be 4+ million.

For comparison, in retail, inventory theft/loss (shrink) averages between 1-2%, so for them to only have lost 200/year, IMHO is pretty darn good @ 0.005%.

Hell, I worked at a place where they lost a couple jet engines and didn't find them for like 15 years.
Is it just me or has Stripe come out with like 4 new products in the last month?
I still use Source Tree but I might try Sublime Merge later...
I tried Obsidian, Zettlr, Standard Notes, Dendron, even tried taking notes in Scrivener.

In the end I bit the bullet and started using Emacs + Org-Mode/Org-Roam. The flexibility and customization are unparallelled. I use it for to-dos, for random scribbles, for in-depth musings. Categorizing thoughts and linking them together is so much easier than any other software I've used.

The first few months are really tough, and for someone who has never used Vim or other terminal style interfaces before learning shortcuts took a while. But after 6 months, I can't go back.

In the merchant processing industry, there are frontends (where your transaction initially is routed for approval by Visa/MasterCard/American Express/Discover or by one of the Debit Networks) and backends (where the amounts of these transactions are debited between banks).

Square and Stripe are both Independent Sales Organizations riding atop Chase Paymentech and First Data respectively: https://www.quora.com/What-payment-processor-do-Braintree-St...

Stripe does use Wells Fargo for the backend settlement, they are one of the most popular acquiring banks on First Data (though many other banks can be used for underwriting risk and settlement of payments on First Data).

This is a very bad argument. The benefit of others, in this case, has nothing to do with your own benefit.

Its true, epic might profit for several millions, so what? How does that affect me or other users?

Apple keeps acting like the user is somehow this baby that needs to be protected, we're not. We're adults that can make our own decisions.

Android and iOS are completely different operating systems, iOS is better for privacy but for example if something like fdroid existed on iOS I could compliment the apps on the appstore with free software one that I know also guarantee my privacy. BTW, open source apps have to go through hoops to be published on the appstore because of their rules and regulations.
I like listening to music, not having music in the background. Maybe that's the difference.

Music is like everything else, the more work you put into it, the more enjoyment you'll get.

But it's perfectly understandable if non-musicians (or musicians not really interested in music theory, formal or informal) stick to Smooth Jazz and stay away from bebop and its successors, and prefer simple melodies and minimal harmony instead.
This is great. I needed something like this for bootstrapping headless raspberry pis. I ended up rolling my own ad hoc provisioning script, and packaging it in a custom raspbian image. This seems like a great candidate for inclusion in a Pi distro.
I use Obsidian and one thing I'm not getting about peoples concerns with e2e encryption - does nobody realize once it's decrypted on the devices you use (work laptops, etc since it's your ubiquitous note taking app) that anyone with access to your laptop (IT) has full access to every single .md file downloaded to your system?

People talk about encrypting their vaults and everything else all the time. I've never seen anyone mention the fact that your entire life of notes (whatever they may be) are now completely plain-text (well, markdown) files accessible to anyone with access to your machine. And IT will be well aware that you just dumped 10000 files into a directory, although hopefully they think you're just pulling git clones and don't go further.

So, what, do I not use markdown when at work? Do I not care? Do I stifle my posts in case anyone at work reads them? It just seems like a terrible system for very personal note taking.

Does throwing the stuff in icloud mitigate this? Gdrive? Dropbox? Even encrypting a folder gives admins access to all of my files as soon as I decrypt it. If I use an online app that I have to auth to and the connection is encrypted unless they're doing DPI they're not going to see any of my notes...

This seems like a huge problem with markdown notes.
any empirical evidence on the efficacy of exercises like this?
It's sort of true.

For example, I have a 3700x / 5700XT computer. Windows 10 runs flawlessly without issues. Ubuntu, or any flavour of Ubuntu, runs like garbage. I have to fix screen tearing, slow boot, sleeping. Then from a clean install, open up firefox, and it crashes multiple times per day. It's not even close to stable.

Yet I run any flavour of Ubuntu on my Intel laptop and it's flawless.

Setup Manjaro on this same desktop, and it works flawlessly, yet on the same laptop if I use Wayland, it's completely broken.

Yet all the same hardware, never had an issue with Windows.

So my point is: Everyones experience is different. For some people they can set it up and fix it to be flawless, others just want to set it up and use it, not fiddle around.
This is a really strange comment and it makes no sense.
Square designs all their own stuff. It looks similar because Square did a good job on their chip reader and because there are only so many ways you can make a chip reader without a keypad.

A WiFi/BT/NFC tag system has an antenna, and a radio circuit attached to the antenna.

It's almost possible to inkjet print circuitry with transistors in research applications; see [1]. 20 micrometer resolution is relatively easy, so a WiFi/BT or NFC antenna (~millimeter scale) is very possible. I agree, the tricky bit is making (a) enough transistors to for the radio at (b) sufficiently high frequencies. As in [1], inkjet-printed transistor circuits have at most ~10 transistors as of yet (and NFC chips, with > 512 bit memory, need at least hundreds if not thousands). According to [2], inkjet printed organic transistors are in the range of MHz frequencies; NFC (~13 MHz) may be possible; WiFi (~2.2 GHz) may not be for a while yet.

I believe most major US professional sports have players unions, which provides minimum salaries that are livable.

How is this different / better than existing readers, for example, the one from Square?
I anticipated that "in 2021" would mean a discussion of the recent tools for taking notes that have exploded (Roam, Obsidian, backlinks, etc.) This could have just as well been "Note Taking in 2011". Nothing wrong with that, I suppose, but the title is misleading.
I’m seeing something similar with my company. Around 1-1.5% for our transactions with next day funding.
