There are some things that no matter how good they may taste, I just don’t need to eat and it won’t improve my life in any measurable way.

As a wise man once said: “Casu Martzu may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy motherf*er.”*

He was actually one of the top Rails contributors in 2014. They also built what became the defacto standard authentication library (devise) before working on Elixir.

Interestingly enough a lot of good engineering branched out of the rails community.
Not all challenges are trauma.

The problem is, it's hard to define where the line is - and the line is different for everyone.

That's why, I think it's important the people who need to go through that should know and decide they want to do it.

As a parent, I would never force my kids to go through that, unless they understand what it implies and they want to.
I read the complainant and still don't get what the problem is. This person is unable to write a review for a version of game that does not have a dedicated (for that specific version) store page.

This leads to downloading 57.51gb how?

Edit: thanks everyone. I guess I have never reviewed a game I don't have installed. They do show play time next to each review. Seems like a better metric than having the game installed lol

"We are unable to refund this purchase to your X ending with X at this time. Your playtime of an included product exceeds 2 hours (our refund policy maximum)."

Their policy in more detail: "Requests are considered on a case by case basis and are not typically issued for purchases of released products that are more than 14 days old, or if the purchased product has more than 2 hours of playtime. For in-game items the refund period is 48 hours and the item must not have been consumed, modified, or transferred. "
Speaking of Spectre/Meltdown, are these mitigations also in place with Apple M1 Macs?

I'm quite curious how Apple has handled these.
It's basically a steam customer support lottery if it's been over 2 hours. Sometimes you get someone who actually reads the reason for refunding, but most of the time they just automatically deny it, even if the developer said they'll honor all refund requests.
It’s a nice utility but I feel it is another activity that will further sap our focus. As if social media hasn’t done enough damage by utilizing “easy” to get our attention.
I'm sour because it feels like zfs folks in particular have it in for btrfs and it's very tiring. there's so many OSes which default to btrfs that there's be some real modern evidence if there were problems but we are constantly dogged by massive negativity.
Q: Why are we doing this?

A: Because we feel like it.

Q: Isn't PayPal already a hugely profitable company?

A: Sure, but we think we can do better.

Q: What about micropayments?

A: As usual, we try not to mention our support for them.
I pip install foo, and foo depends on bar. I pip freeze > lock.txt. My lock file has foo v1 and bar v1, right? Later bar upgrades to v2. I then try to rebuild the container image from lock.txt. My pip freeze lock file will still keep me on foo v1 and bar v1, even though foo has unpinned dependency on bar and bar has new version.

Is pip freeze not solving this scenario? Or is poetry solving a different scenario?

Not trying to flame war, just not sure I’m grokking.
The overwhelming majority of people on Windows are there because Microsoft bent over backwards to give businesses what they needed so that they could beat out Apple and IBM to win the desktop wars of the 80s and 90s. If businesses had never used Windows, nobody else would have and computers wouldn't come pre-installed with it. Personally, I use all of them for different purposes.

I like Windows because it's more compatible than other OSes with any hardware that I can throw at it. It's also more stable than any other OS. My Macs have been broken multiple times throughout their life by simply upgrading to the next version of macOS, but Windows has always just kept on trucking along year after year. Another reason I love Windows is that it's got a high degree of flexibility. While Apple hides APIs and does everything they can to prevent you from doing things that they don't approve of, Microsoft does the exact opposite and publishes APIs to help you get it done. Mostly though, I just love the Windows UI and the Windows way of doing things. I find it to be very simple and obvious. The things I don't like are largely unseen, like the forced telemetry and updates.

I use my Mac when I need to build or test something for iOS or macOS. Outside of that, I just can't stand the way they do anything. I find the UI and the UX of macOS to be absolutely hideous. The fact that you have to install third party stuff just to get basic features like "decent window management" is simply beyond the pale to me.

For work, I started using a Linux desktop a few years ago because Windows was annoyingly slow when doing anything with npm/yarn/node_modules or Docker and I was doing more and more work with NodeJS and less with .NET/SQL Server/etc. So, I installed Manjaro with XFCE and that's when I found out that XFCE does a minimalist Windows style desktop better than Microsoft does. They have all the Windows features that I want, like Window snapping and none of the Windows features that I don't want. They even have a feature that I usually installed 7+ taskbar tweaker to get: They let you middle-click taskbar items to close the window (also you can drag/drop them), similar to how Chrome treats browser tabs. I've had Manjaro installed on multiple systems (desktops and laptops) for years now and I haven't seen any of the issues that people complain about here, like having to fiddle with their system to get it to work. Everything just worked for me since day one.

Now I just use Windows for entertainment - I've got a NUC style PC at every TV and I have one gaming PC.
What is an elector for ? If you dont trust the system you built and are reaponsible for as a voter, what is democracy?

Not trusting them to execute the will of the majority means you dont believe you are a democracy.

But I guess not trusting them "blindly"?

https://oll.libertyfund.org/quote/thomas-jefferson-on-whethe...

> The question Whether one generation of men has a right to bind another, seems never to have been started either on this or our side of the water… (But) between society and society, or generation and generation there is no municipal obligation, no umpire but the law of nature. We seem not to have perceived that, by the law of nature, one generation is to another as one independant nation to another… On similar ground it may be proved that no society can make a perpetual constitution, or even a perpetual law. The earth belongs always to the living generation… Every constitution, then, and every law, naturally expires at the end of 19. years. If it be enforced longer, it is an act of force and not of right.

I think Thomas Jefferson is a reputable source for my assertion.

Thanks. I was confused what website I was using. I'm pretty sure there's an HN rule about not telling people this isn't reddit: "Please don't post comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit. It's a semi-noob illusion, as old as the hills."
Labels like anti-vaxxer just seems to be weaponized propaganda to me. It’s a cheap, easy way to discredit someone you don’t agree with. Hopefully as time goes on and disparaging groups throw these accusations back-and-forth of each other, that it eventually dilutes their meaning and impact.

32/64 bit is a compile time option not a separate codebase and unlike macOS they haven't discontinued 32 bit even in the latest versions.
I'm surprised that this course was only offered first in 2017 and isn't a degree requirement. I'm not an electrical engineer, so I don't know if these skills are taught in a different and less hands-on manner, but it seems like being able to work in a team with tight deadlines and being able to design a chip for manufacturing are key skills that an engineer should have.
I recommend the following post, by the author of the proof, for deeper context. Especially near the end, they talk about some of the things they're trying to accomplish with it in plain(ish) English.

The world is no longer unipolar. China, India have their own tech sector and will compete with the USA. In biotech, they may actually enjoy a competitive advantage, because they have fewer institutional and legal restraints.

Unless you can prevent people from traveling overseas to receive anti-aging treatments, clinics will spring up from Costa Rica to Indonesia. The US, even if it wanted to protect the IP of the few very hard, will have to weigh it against the risk that a systemic competitor like China will provide treatments for artificially low price just out of spite and to gain some sympathy points.

Look at the Cold War. During the conflict with the Communist Bloc, inequality in the West actually went down. In presence of ideological competitors, Western governments learnt to mitigate the worst excesses of their own systems.

I believe the more relevant examples here are the issues facing many low to middle class Americans today. Non-elites are significantly less likely to afford homes, afford marriage at 25, and most importantly in the long run they less power to affect political change. If money is speech, then some people have a lot more capability than others simply based on their bank accounts.
Stepping back, low Earth orbit satellite constellations appear to be a better solution than fiber for these remote locations. Then the debate becomes whether it should be a public, private, or private but publicly funded program.

Amazon and OneWeb are also looking to build constellations. It isn’t a StarLink question.
> I personally like that Apple attempts to make websites feel more like applications by making the browser disappear.

Now if they could provide a stable platform like they do for their applications versus the pain and edge cases Safari almost always introduces (especially the mobile implementations). I know its not a flashy thing but one WWDC it'd be great if they came out and said how many nearly decade old bugs have been addressed rather than a UI uplift - the cynic in me assumes a "redesigned" app is going to be less, not more stable.
If you listed out all the requirements a modern UI framework needs you would find that the original Win32 UI API’s are not viable. Especially if you want to support more than just C and C++.

So much code is required to do things we now take for granted that the resulting patterns became new frameworks.

A judge in London gave a convicted drug user a conditional discharge following the former Lord Chancellor admitting to using the same drug. Not a precedent-setting case, however.

The article is interesting, but that lede is incoherent. Many mathematicians accept computer proofs the way chess grand masters accept computer players. Computer “assistants” that generate proofs that humans cannot follow or understand will always be controversial, and the proofs they generate, even though accepted as valid, will always be decorated with an asterisk.
I think they mean the browser window/process. I also tend to kill off tabs that do this.

Digital elevation models typically represent terrain elevations in a grid of square cells of some cell size, e.g. 1 meter by 1 meter. Such a model is rarely useful unless it also has georeferencing information, i.e. coordinates for the bounding box of the grid. Such coordinates can of course be arbitrary, but for large-scale mapping some convention is typically used so that adjacent models of the same cell size will "line up" without small gaps or overlaps. For example, this can be achieved by making sure that the grid corners are on integer coordinates - from my experience this is the convention I've seen in most European countries. In Poland, they instead use the convention that the centers of the corner cells are on integer coordinates, meaning everything is "off" by 0.5 meter (half a cell). This has caused me quite some difficulties at $WORK...
Hi Peter,
this might not be directly from your ballpark, but perhaps you have thoughts on this.

I wonder what is your recent experience on SaaS businesses and tax liability? With recent changes across the globe, SaaS companies are responsible for emitting sales taxes in the country of the customer.

Do early-stage startups try to handle this on their own (using specialized accountants) and services like TaxJar, or do you see a movement to use Merchant of Record providers, who handle all taxation on the SaaS' behalf (like paddle.com)?

What are the potential liabilities for neglecting these issues for too long?

There is, but it's disabled by default. Use

defaults write -g NSWindowShouldDragOnGesture -bool true

Then restart, and now while holding Ctrl-⌘ you can click and drag _anywhere_ on the window to move it.

UI changes are only good if they improve usability. By far most UI changes these days are only done for the sake of looking different and "fresh", UI design has become purely fashion driven. Where's the scientific research and white papers going along with the Safari UI changes which clearly justify point by point why every single change makes sense, all backed by user studies? All I usually see is "emotional bullshit", not rational facts when UI designers talk about their work.

This used to be different during the 80's and 90's and I'm convinced that this change (turning UI design from science/engineering into fashion) is why we are deep in a UX crisis.
Same experience here, used the workaround.org tutorial as strong inspiration (not blindly copy pasting, but to serve as guided path to follow and learn).

Steep learning curve indeed, but after initial setup it's just working and necessitate no tending except when I do major upgrades (of Debian so every 2.5 years on average), in case some config needs updating.

But this is really a private email server with no users except me, thus probably not encountering the issues related to mail servers with many users that might or might not have a good email hygiene.
Cost is not the same as value. Apple hardware routinely runs better, lasts longer, and has longer software support. This is reflected in the incredible demand and higher resale values.

This actually helps makes new devices more affordable as the cost is amortized over a longer and more useful lifespan, while the secondary market serves others very well.
Poetry won’t help you either with a transitive dependency conflict. The problem is that Python just doesn’t have the concept of nested dependencies. And it’s too much of an arse to change the module loading code to work with a Node style pattern.

The solution to that problem is probably to do ‘pip —-ignore-installed’ and hope for the best, because without a fundamental change to how Python loads modules no fancy package manager will help you.
Unclear, indeed.

My interpretation would be that distrust in government usually causes a raise in cheap populism and many heavily populist leaders tend to be more authoritarian.
I want to be positive and give the benefit of the doubt, but this seems like the kind of thing that gets buried in the details and overlooked. It was just one piece of a bigger system.
They're going to write a review for the version that does have a store page, and are being required to download that version first.
Did you even read what I wrote or was this just a cheap reaction from minimal pattern matching? One could describe state of hellhole as something to avoid and help others to escape it/change it. In your case you went with the "prevent anyone from there to reach my blessed state" interpretation, more consistent with the Donnie.
Because I guess when using the Steam client it requires that you have the game installed that you are trying to leave a review for, or have some play time.. since the version they played doesn't have a store page, they had to download the one that does in order to leave the review.
In theory so would I. But in practice the government keeps spending more and more money without providing more or better services so it's just not a good investment. If the government wants to build infrastructure they should pick a couple of big projects and complete them on time and on budget. Then maybe I will be willing to fork over more taxes for more projects.
I always wonder how disgusting foods like this come in to being. I have to believe it's primarily kids daring each other. My other favorite example is Korean Hongeo-hoe, fermented skate, which has been described as "like licking a urinal." My, sounds delish!!
I understand the author's frustration. But until someone finds out how a company that operates globally can satisfy the laws of the countries their customers are located in without associating the accounts with a country, I'm not sure what we can do.

> What I find curious is that it says the services are essentially the same between different countries. So, there is no advantage to me as a consumer for anything to change.

The advantage to the consumer is that they have access to the services at all. Countries have the ability to completely cut off their citizens to a service if they don't follow their laws.
"It seems that you would have to solve the problem of interplanetary colonization before we'd be ready to solve death."

These things may actually be tangled together. Interplanetary travel is likely to cause some radiation damage to the bodies of the astronauts. Radiation damage manifests a lot like premature aging; these two may have something in common.

In that case, colonizing planets and trying to treat aging will have to develop together, much like development of airplanes and weather forecasting did.
Thanks for your time. Do you see any political movement one way or the other for opening up H1B quotas or otherwise making that process more likely to succeed in the next couple of years?
Sure, I did, and do. But it’s a surprisingly difficult social balancing act: if you go into specifics and try to prove / point out the abuse it’s very easy for the abuser to make you too look like a rambling madman.

I’m also chocked by how many do not stand up for the victim / truth, even when the abuser is clearly exposed as a lier many people (with social incentives to do so) will just say “well, I didn’t see that” or similar. A disturbing aspect of it is that I can’t tell if those people are consciously laying, or just in denial on a deeper psychological level... Scary shit.
Steam doesn't let you review games you haven't downloaded, meaning in order to review the game he has to download the version which has a store page.
Bitbar also does a decent job on Macos
Does it not create jobs?

Not saying it's good nor bad.
Venmo currently has no fees for consumers, is this changing too or only businesses are impacted by the change?
It's more so the GPLv3 prohibits iOS. Certain clauses (e.g. "anti-Tivoization") conflict with Apple agreements.
Poetry does create wheels without a setup.py. In fact, on my last job we got rid of all setup.py we had in favour o poetry.

It cannot replace all setup.py use cases, but for pure python packages it can replace it completely.
A simple question. Why change something that already works for everyone? To solve which problem exactly?

I understand redesigning UIs when that redesign affords you some new capabilities for new features you want to add. I don't, however, understand redesigns that just move things around without adding anything new.

Android 12 is the prime example of this right now. Android 11, which I currently have on my phone, works fine. Its UI is well thought out. It's mature enough. The best thing you could do to it is leave it alone. But then someone at Google wanted a promotion, which meant redesigning an existing product, and now everything is opaque and has huge paddings for no good reason. And when they say "material you is customizable", I really hope it's so customizable I could just make it look like it did before they released this mess.
This is a sympathetic framing on an attempt to chip away at licensing requirements. Not saying whether that’s good or bad, just want to point it out
Best thing I know is side-loading apps via something like AltStore.
