Maybe I’m wrong but I have the feeling that credit cards as a norm is really just an American thing. In Europe where I live, I know nobody who buys anything with a credit card or barely if there is a 0% rate promotion. Credit cards do exists here but they are the card some shop gave you for whatever reason that you’d better never use.

What is interesting is that we use the term « credit card » to speak about our debit cards so I needed a long time to acknowledge that in America, Credit cards really meant that you paid your coffee with a real credit and not with your money.

Done right there will be a lot more in there than syntax errors. A good example of this sort of test will separate those who have revised syntax without really thinking (they'll get the syntax errors but little or nothing else, great if you want to employ a human linter) from those who actually think about what they are looking at will spot much more (a logical error that would cause an infinite loop, a point where a comment and the code disagree, an incorrectly validated input, an injection flaw, a heavy expression inside a loop that could be done first and result-cached for efficiency (your compiler cannot always identify such situations), hard-coded credentials, bad naming, ...). The best may identify some but also state why in the grand scheme of things is might not matter (efficiency in code that runs once so 10μs and 100μs is statistical noise) or where other priorities might take precedence (for example readability and therefore ease of maintenance).
It works for you, because you didn't do what a commenter said elsewhere here.

Merge conflicts in a rebase can propagate through every commit in your feature branch (suppose that you modify a boilerplate line in 10 commits, and you get a conflict on that line in the rebase, you now have to solve that conflict 10 times possibly with some interference with nearby conflicts)

In many cases also there are problems with git being line oriented rather than token oriented, IMHO I would have expected language aware diffs (for definition of "words" and maybe parenthesis) for common languaged to be common place by now (maybe even with a language server support)

In my team we are lucky as most conflict are a matter of simply choosing a side and overwriting the other.
Definitely not - if an author has written a book in German (even if it's not their native language) then giving them a German test is definitely insulting, the same applies for a newscaster in Italian if they have done reporting in Italian previously.

What you say applies if you're hiring people for their first position at that task (e.g. the author writing their first book in German or a newscaster who has never done reporting in Italian professionally). If you're hiring people at some hypothetical "level 10" then your interview needs to discriminate between "level 9 or less" people and "level 10 or more" people, but asking them to assert that they meet "level 1" implies that they might not, and that implication is literally insulting.
I would rephrase this: The share of users who could work well with any of the operating systems is increasing. The fundamental differences between the operating systems that impact user experience are decreasing.

I think 90-99% of users only use Browser+Office+Games which could work well in any of the big operating systems. Some software preferences are superficial and appropriate replacements exist on the other platforms.

As someone working with macOS, Linux and Windows I focus my workflow on the things that work under all of these operating systems so the impact they have on me is very little. People who are deeper into the UX of a single operation system may disagree completely.

Seems like a good reason to store your value in something else than central bank tokens.

You call it "inflating bubbles", I call it competition for something central banks have a monopoly on.
I think that's less about monetization and more about barriers to entry. Everyone has a cellphone that takes video now, in many cases it's easier to publish video to the web than it is to write an article.
Depends. I bought my first iPhone this year because iPhones average about 6-7 years of security and OS updates. I would have stuck with Android, but the best support I could find was 3 years with a Pixel (my last android was a Pixel 3a).
Sure, there are exceptions. But in general it would appear that class actions are an effective deterrent to a wide variety of undesirable behavior. That they fail in a few highly visible edge cases means they are imperfect - not useless.
The gender imbalance is another problem.

China needs more young people to be happy to be factory workers forever, instead of seeking out white-collar jobs.

But many young men and their parents are convinced that a University degree is essential to find a wife.

If the situation reverses to more women than men, by simple microeconomics the dating standards of women will fall and more families and men will be content in lower-status (but economically important) roles.

China could incentivize more women being born by allowing 'bride prices', paid to the bride's family instead of just being used for the wedding. Another option could be to encourage excess males to emigrate, as seems to be occurring in India.

But the meaning of "familiar" syntax is very subjective. In my case the markdown looks strange, like a shell comment. Does it render or is it just a comment? Does a section number appear? At least with LaTeX sectioning I know what will happen.

Ah, “both sides bad”. Classic. Do you have any other novel thoughts you’d like to share with us?
I'd really like to have a read-only API that is accessible for personal projects to be able to retrieve my own transaction history. Sadly with PSD2 that is (afaik) impossible, or at least pretty close to impossible.
Things like this (nordigen) might "solve" the problem by replacing it with a bigger one: now nordigen (or someone else) has access to all this transaction data and is going to leak it somewhere.

I get why banks are so conservative and bureaucratic, and all this PSD2 security stuff is required. I want my financial data to be secured. But I also want to be able to access it with my own software. Guess I cannot have both, in which case I prefer the first.

I dont think nordigen is a solution (for me) and quite frankly, I find the concept somewhat scary.

>Analyst Ben Bajarin said it’s due to Apple locking in its chip supply.

( Takes a Deep Breath )

Why is it Chip supply again? Why is it TSMC again? This is very very tiring. No wonder why people stop reading any sort of media once they are pass certain age.

How about locking in all component supply? From OLED, NAND, DRAM, Modem to everything else down to speaker piece. The 26% YoY increase is exactly inlined with the current projection of 90M new iPhone in 2021.

X: But these are just rumours, we dont know for a fact.......

Look, You dont move 90 Million of leading edge / high quality / high premium components within a single quarter without pretty much anyone in the supply chains knows what you are doing. I mean, you dont even need to be inside the supply chain or connection with supply chain. Even if you work or have connection with logistics like DHL. Moving 90M smartphone without a short period of time is no small feat.

And the whole Antifragile thesis is based on Apple making record quarter, or specifically making Record quarter under supposedly market stress. This analysis is about as bad as the Apple is doomed narrative for the past ten years or Apple is doomed in 2019 because of a drip in sales in Greater China. [1] And it is the same thing happening again. Greater China manage to pull in huge increase of iPhone sales YoY. And it is now Antifragile? Not to mention that remote learning and Staying at Home drove sales of iPad and Mac to new height along with M1. Services Revenue because more people are staying at home with digital spending. ( Look at the Disney+ numbers ). 5G is driving Smartphone sales, whether you like it or not. But most ( if not all ) tech forums are still in 5G denial.

I see Apple as a Robust company. But Anti-fragility was not a results of Apple's doing within the pandemic period. It was preparation of product line and services that just happen to hit home during it. This Anti Apple is Doomed thesis has now turned into Apple is Booned. ( Sorry People I know Boon is not a verb, cant think of a better word though. )

[1] Which is the single biggest problem with Analysing truly Global multinational companies. None of those analyst understand a single thing about China. Zero. And yet China is representing 26% of Apple's total revenue.

Well if that is the issue, just close the road, no more congestion on it and I also didn't have to ask anyone, or do any traffic analysis that might require paperwork for it.
Sounds more like autocracy to me. Whether or not you want to have a vaccine or not is irrelevant to the fact that wanting a government to coerce people into a medical treatment is a Pandora's box I'm not sure we should really be so keen on.
>Indeed. It’s amazing to me that in all the conversations about work/life balance, employers never consider the mind-blowingly innovative option of working less.

That's because the driving factor (at least in capitalist regions) seem to be to extract as much value from everyone while compensating them as little as possible. "Working less" isn't even on these people's radars. If they had their way, they'd own every minute of their employee's lives.

As an Australian living in Germany I've got to point out that finances in Germany are just as dysfunctional as Australia. Just in completely opposing ways. Both are a burden on sustainable growth and development.

For some examples of Germany's issues it's worth looking at the weak state of retail banking (Deutsche Bank / Commerzbank proposed merger), and the financial scandals.
I feel bad for anyone who works under these conditions. I'd imagine you'd never get paid at all. You are setting yourself up to just have the requirements lawyered and they'd argue that you didn't hit your metric due to some technicality and therefor are entitled to nothing.

I think some banks do offer restricted keys that only allow you to access your own accounts - I think Starling in the UK does this; Monzo used to too, but I'm not sure if that's the Open Banking API, or just another API.

Well, but unlike russia, Israel is an ally of the US.
It depends:-

* Does blocking a short tunnel mean you get a long tunnel instead? Or does it mean the road remains on the surface?

* Does the damage to the site from excavating a tunnel outweigh the improvement of the site by hiding the unsightly roadway?

* Does the climate emergency mean we should stop expanding roads for cars all together? Is a £1.7bn tunnel already too much to spend on cars, to say nothing of an even longer one?

If they've successfully blocked the short tunnel but instead they get to keep the congested surface road for another 30 years, that seems like an own goal to me...
Ask HN: Outliner that displays an items “weight”?
I've worked with different outliner apps: Dynalist, Workflowy, Omni Outliner, etc..

What I'm missing is a way to intuitively see at a glance for each collapsed item how much content it holds -- its "weight", if you will.

For example, I'm imagining items that have few sub-items to be displayed with a low font-weight, and items that have a lot of sub-items with a strong font-weight. Or that each item displays a little circle next to it, bigger or smaller, depending on the size of the item's content in relation to its siblings.

Do you know of any tool that does this?

I imagine that this would make it easier to "balance out" an outline, i.e. noticing which categories are just holding one or two items, and hence should better be merged with another category. This balancing aspect I find important for example when writing an outline for an article.

> Speak for yourself/Tamil Nadu.

It is informative that you assume I am from Tamil Nadu. It tells us a lot about the underlying assumptions within your "views".

> Why do you believe that north indian language and religion are nonsense?

No one said that except for you. I'll try to simplify what I said since you had difficulty comprehending what I wrote. What I said was that I am opposed to those who worship "India's language is Hindi". Further, I am opposed to those "who worship Aryans". Surely I don't have to explain why "wheatish" supremacy and other similar nonsense is a bad thing?

> I don't think North Indians are backward relative to South Indians. Although they are relatively poor.

Oh ho ho. Again, not something I said. You seem to have a great deal of imagination and are jousting against your imagined provocations instead of what I communicated.
> I would rephrase this: The share of users who could work well with any of the operating systems is increasing. The fundamental differences between the operating systems that impact user experience are decreasing.

Thanks. This was indeed my main point.

Of course this doesn't mean there aren't a lot of niches that require a particular OS.

Just from the perspective of shedding light on where the brokenness was/is distributed, was this specifically about vision-related accommodation, or something else? Just idly curious.
If looking for the best answer, you can rule out B but A vs C is still ambiguous.
It's not: for any other OS, you can develop and compile on whichever other OS you want. Sure, MSVC won't run on Linux, but you can just compile it with clang or GCC on Linux and target Windows. There is no way to do that for iOS.

And this is not because no one wants to write a backend to target iOS, it's because Apple won't allow it. If you want to run native code on iOS, it must be built and signed with XCode on a Mac.
For what PSD2 done is it made that Nordigen service possible, also I can see my history from one bank in another. Results (possibilities) greatly vary from bank to bank, but in general at least I can download my data from one place.

I get your complain, but It's a step forward at least.

A while back Grady Booch was asked on Twitter what architecture books he would suggest. He replied with three images of sets of covers of what was on his bookshelf (some 45 books in all, I think). All of them more software architecture style books. One EA book: Chess and the Art of Enterprise Architecture. Which I personally found noticeable.

And this is what my yearly-or-so foray into Windows shows up - most apps look like garbage. The handling of displays with different DPIs connected to one machine is even worse. This has even been a solved problem _on Linux_ for quite some time.

I spent some time a while back using this guide, along with some ansible to setup a home router. I ended up putting it on the back burner for a few reasons.

1) DNS reflection was an issue for some internal services I host.
2) Connecting to my Virgin Media (uk) router and handling PPPoE was confusing and I struggled with the documentation.
3) Just in general, having an internet connection is really importaint to troubleshooting problems. Having my internet down while trying to fix things was just too inconvenient for me.

In the end, I went back to PfSense. I have a bash script that backs up the config daily to s3. Was good enough to recover from a different issue recently. It's a real shame, I'd love to do this all my self but I may never pick this project back up.
> because it allows those that are in conflict or don’t trust each other,

People use this argument a lot, and I don't get it. You're trusting that miners don't perform a 51% attack; you're trusting that the underlying crypto doesn't have shortcuts; you're trusting the wallet software. Some of these things are unverifiable, leaving you only with trust.
Yes but if you do much low level it is annoying to use a language that constant treats you at best as a dark magic wizard, at worst as a dangerous risk seeker.

All my point was that Rust is not a substitute for C, too heavy and complex and not enough liberating for low level "assembly-wrapping" stuff.

It’s so painless on the Apple Card. Automatic x% back into an Apple Cash account depending on the specifics of the purchase (phone vs card, Apple store vs other store).

When you pay off the card, it can automatically debit the Apple Cash account first. Basically all my purchases are 1% cheaper on that card than my other ones. Sure, spending $9,900 instead of $10,000 doesn’t sound like much, but it’s painless free money.

How many multi-lingual programmers will remember which one of the 7 languages they know does have a boolean assignment operators and which do not without looking it up? Does that make them unprofessional?

How many do remember exact operator precedence rules for all those languages, when in practice you may need just the basic ones and use () to work around the lack of exact knowledge.

Also which version? Something not working in PHP 7.3 may be ok in PHP 8, but company wants you to code in PHP 7.3, or ES5. In practice you get quickly acclimatized to any of the languages you know after working with them for a few days or a week, but good luck remembering exact rules of any of them at any given time when asked.
