Is this audited by Afterpay perhaps? A company might just increase prices due to quarterly losses and not specifically because of this fee, even if it does contribute to a large amount of margin loss.

I can't speak for every implementation, but in the one I use (logseq) if you say back-link 'Podcasts' in 'Audiodrama' then in 'Audiodrama' 'Podcasts' will show up as a 'linked reference' like so (https://imgur.com/5FADCI5), as well as a bi-directional connection in the graph you can get of all your links.

Over time this produces something like this (https://imgur.com/6I9ojRG), which is what I meant by self-organizing. Just with back-links without having to create any hierarchies (what i meant by unstructured) you get a data-structure that is actually still pretty insightful.
Israel believes Iran struck ship in response to cyberattack on train system

https://www.timesofisrael.com/tv-israel-believes-iran-struck...

Two ship crewmen, a British and Romanian national, died in Thursday night’s attack off the coast of Oman on the oil tanker Mercer Street, a ship operated by Zodiac Maritime, a London-based company belonging to Israeli tycoon Eyal Ofer.

Israeli and American officials have said it was apparently carried out by suicide drones that hit the ship.

The report further said Iran was also hoping to raise insurance costs for ships with ties to Israel.
These are all entirely correct.

The thing worth pointing out that explains how both this, and the person you are replying to are correct is that in Australia we haven't had an unemployment crises since the 1990s.

If you have never seen unemployment, and can't imagine not having a job then arranging your affairs for tax efficiency makes perfect sense, even if it means you are carrying more debt.
I learned French using the Pimsleur method - basically you listen and repeat things as you hear them in an audio course. As a result, my accent in French threw off native speakers in a way that made them think I was a native speaker.

I would look into if there is some similar audio based course in your native language that targets English.

My experience learning Spanish and French in classroom settings was that once most people see a word written, they fall back into a way of pronunciation that leans toward their native language and causes an accent. Audio only courses can help break that pattern.

The Pimsleur method should also help your use of “a” and “the” feel more natural which is going to help with your rhythm when speaking. Even as a native speaker, if I drop “a” and “the” I’m going to sound strange.
I have. I don't know why, I just don't like them as much as I thought I would.

However, I find cripp's pink to be wildly variable. Some are beautifully crisp and very tart, these are my favorite. One store by me sells them and they just taste like red delicious, despite having the color and whatnot.
The interesting thing is that tomatoes first declined with mechanization and breeding for longevity and rose again. Once the mechanization process was done, they could be bred for taste again.

Note: link about effort to revive tomato taste. That they succeeded is my personal judgement - ie, I think tomatoes taste good again.

I don’t think this is correct. We can have good food, and cheaper food than we have now without changing anything. At least as far as vegetables are concerned.

The problem here is that groceries are tailoring their product not for the eater of the food, but for the buyer of the food. That results in a lot of vegetables/fruits being thrown away even after they’ve been selectively bred to look good vs tasting good.

If the consumer was better educated and did not turn down food that did not look different, there would be a lot less wastage and the food would not need to be selectively bred to look good, but rather to taste good. Which means the food would taste better and less wastage would mean it’s cheaper.
Oh damn, you just made me realize how much I miss hierarchies. When I used to go to a site everything was organized by topic instead of being a chronological stream of consciousness. You could open a gadget review site and see every review they did of a Sony product or a Palm product and know you hadn't missed anything. Now you have to type a word into their search bar and sort through a giant list of both relevant and irrelevant pages.
Funny story. Johnny Appleseed was famous for planting apple seeds across much of the U.S. But because his apples were grown from seed, they weren't hybrids and were probably all crabapples. And the only use for crabapples was making cider, so he was basically ensuring all these communities would have hard cider available when he came back to visit.
Interesting that square is making this kind of large purchase. I’ve not been following them too closely but what I have noticed recently is a ton of local (SF) merchants switching from square to Toast.
I suspect there's a tendency for anything with a public, fully anonymous (rather than pseudonymous) format to eventually become something some people use for the worst things imaginable.

For example, people used to write bomb threats and racial slurs on bathroom stall walls at my middle school. Anonymous imageboards are kind of the global version of a public bathroom stall wall. Sometimes there are funny or uplifting things on it, and sometimes the polar opposite.
It's actually weirder than that. The C standard allows type punning through unions, but not because of the clause you mentioned. It allows it because of footnote 95:

> If the member used to read the contents of a union object is not the same as the member last used to store a value in the object, the appropriate part of the object representation of the value is reinterpreted as an object representation in the new type as described in 6.2.6 (a process sometimes called ‘‘type punning’’)

This is broader than the common initial subsequence clause, and allows punning between completely different types, e.g. int, char[4], and float.

You might ask, what is the point of the "common initial subsequence" rule then? It's to allow certain accesses that don't go directly through the union, so the compiler doesn't know for sure whether there's a union involved. Only problem is that all major compilers completely ignore this rule. [1] (But they do implement the first clause I mentioned, where the accesses do go through the union.)

Visiting orchards in Autumn was a fun annual tradition when I lived in the Northern US. The whole fam would enjoy those days together picking apples. No orchards nearby this part of Texas, though.
More or less everybody had ancestors that uprooted and moved to vastly different locations in search of better opportunities, most Americans are the descendants or were themselves rather poor immigrants. The tech scene is especially full of people who are first or second generation.

The world changes and it baffles me that some people have this huge sense of entitlement to constancy. Whether you're very poor or very rich you don't have to live paycheck to paycheck, but it usually means making choices that people don't like. Being prepared for an uncertain future is virtuous and there isn't a level of wealth that demarks whether or not this is possible.

If you're living today, maybe buying real estate near sea level is a particularly bad idea, maybe buying real estate in areas threatened by severe drought and wildfires is a bad idea, maybe if you're in these situations already it's worth doing so while there's not a rush.

People on this site tend to be problem-solvers. If your location is to become uninhabitable it isn't going to happen overnight. Whatever happens in your life, there are probably going to be some big bad things for everybody. Do your best with what you have, spend less time fantasizing about changing the inevitable or judging people who assume future problems have solutions that aren't just trying to make change not happen.
Even the potential audience of your work is all over the place. As a software engineer: your audience is the software's users. As a data scientist: Its the software's users, its the developers, its accountants in the finance department, its other researchers at a conference, its the general audience reading the corporate blog, its the marketing department, its whatever C-level executive looking at report. All of whom have vastly different needs and expectations.
Good point. I think looks have to follow. Golden Delicious always look...dull. Red Delicious look absolutely stunning. I guess I'd lump that in with 'marketing.'
This looks great - I like how the "simple shader" version gives a sense for how it works under the hood.

Is the implementation of it related to real-world mechanisms, or is it all smoke-and-mirrors that happens to look like real-world liquids? (Or, is the distinction non-important?!)

It was considered, but the initial goals of Bowler was to a) build on top of lib2to3 in an attempt to get broader upstream support for maintaining it as an "official" cst module, which fizzled out, and b) to use some of the more complex matching semantics that lib2to3 enabled, which baron and other cst alternatives don't really attempt to cover.

Things like "find any function that uses kwargs" or "find any class that defines a method named `bar`" can be easily expressed with lib2to3's matching grammar, and no other CST that I'm aware of (that isn't itself based on lib2to3) has equivalent functionality. This is something we wanted to add to LibCST, but haven't had the time to focus on given other priorities. Meanwhile, we used LibCST to write a safer alternative to isort: https://usort.readthedocs.io
I'm not sure I agree with this chart, but I guess everyone is different. To me, a red delicious is not tart at all. It's...tasteless. I also find 'good' cripps/pink ladies far more tart than any apple listed.

I buy honeycrisp only for its texture, so I can't comment on the sweetness ratings as it's not my thing.
Really? I had always assumed that unsold food gets thrown away (or maybe at a best case donated), and supply chains for bakeries etc are 100% separate by design.

Interesting product from CBA.
Doesn't afterpay act more like a loan? From looking at this it looks like CBA is trying to get people to splash their money and manage the payback themselves. Those management fee's are also based on the idea you can get the card paid off in the month (CBA also use a rolling bill day. so they have a 30 day month and a 25 day payment period for that month. And those details are pretty opaque to newbies with cards. ).

You're effectively paying a somewhat high interest rate. From the looks of it CBA's low interest card would be comparable or cheaper if you were young and held a bit of rolling debt. And right now they have 15 months interest free on their 'low' rate card.

I think the difference that's better for afterpay customers is being able to have your purchase chunked into installments, effectively making it more like lay by.

Also, cba should have made it black so it didn't look you were holding a learners plate credit card.

Our Australian banks are lazy.
Just in case someone outside of the US is reading this and thinking, "$1,8000/mo can't be right" - sadly, it is. It might even be on the low end. A self-employed person with a family must pay ~$25,000 p.a. for health insurance even if perfectly healthy.

Sometimes people look at the "nominal" cost of catastrophic insurance or their partial contribution as an employee and extrapolate - but that doesn't work when you're fending for yourself.

I've received roughly $3000 in rewards from my credit card usage over the past six years. Not a life-changing amount, but not completely insignificant, either. I think the biggest thing that I've lost is data privacy, but I would think that debit cards incur the same cost. I've never used any of the benefits like extra insurance/warranty, but it's nice to know they exist.

Chargebacks on debit cards are also much more painful than on credit.
>institutions in Australia charge enormous interest rates on credit cards, typically 20%+.

I think that is the case as well in the US. Credit card interest rates are atrociously high. Which makes it difficult for people who get caught in the CC debt-loop to get out.

How about let's not? There are infinite possibilities you can imagine of things going wrong. Pulling one example out of an infinite list does nothing to address the argument itself, it's just fictional role play. And every time one plays a scenario out, they could always just go one more step towards a more catastrophic scenario, until we'd arrive at "A-ha, but as we see, Apple's strategy fails to address heat death of the universe! Got 'em!" Of course your suggested scenario isn't as absurd, and the global supply chains reliance on a few privately held companies is indeed problematic. But the discussion was about Apples strategy and how they prepare with more foresight than their competitors, succeeding better under pressure. Not that they are omnipotent gods that can control and prepare for everything.

> I don’t have a credit card and see no point in it.

If you use a credit card like a debit card (pay it off in full every month) it can be rewarding depending on the card. I make $75-$100 cash back every month on my credit card.
People don't understand how companies work, and the real hidden agendas that drive all decisions about employees.

In addition to remote work, some here have commented about private offices vs cubicles or open desks without even cubicle walls. Obviously, it is much cheaper to give someone a desk in an open space, with zero extra costs. The cost savings then can to to giving the CEO an ultra expensive office. I've read some can get up over a million dollars, with gold faucets in their private bathrooms, rare Italian marble credenza tops and all furniture made of rare mahogany wood, and the like. For example, a Pininfarina Aresline Xten office chair costs $1,500,000. John Thain, Merrill Lynch’s CEO, spent approximately $1.22 million to upgrade his office. Goldman Sachs' retiring Lloyd Blankfein spent top dollar to build its soon-to-be retiring chief executive a new office as he transitions to an advisor for the firm - exact numbers are not known but it is over $500,000. Many other peoples' offices had to be moved for the ex-CEO, in order for Blankenfein to get a coveted view of the Hudson River.

This is essentially the same exact reason why CEOs want people to work in the offices. For both, it is personal vanity.

When the CEO brings people into the office - personal friends, family, clients - the CEO wants to show off how great he is. Vanity. "Look at me, look at how important I am with my own expensive office that costs $528,000."

In the same way, the only reason the CEO wants people at the offices is for his vanity. It is more impressive for the CEO to bring his friends to an office where there are thousands of workers, all reporting to the great big important man. Oh, he is so important. How impressive is the CEO if there's only a barebone skeleton crew of 8 people?

Peoples' vanity is limitless, and they will literally tank a company rather than give up on their vanity. People think that CEOs are attached to the bottom line, to maximize shareholder value, but they are not. It's all tied to their vanity.

No, this is not the case for all CEOs, of course, but probably is for a good 84.827% of them, as shown by France Is Bacon polling company.
Huh? Well, since you replied: I'm not the one spending $30 on top of my monthly fee to rent some cheesy remake of the same bland film and calling it a bargain. I prefer my fun a little less canned and a little more engaging. But I don't have kids so I don't know how to entertain them, and perhaps I'd feel the same way if for some reason I found myself with four kids. Although I'd probably be like my friends who make board games with their kids and have banned TV (good luck to them when the kids hit 13).

I do enjoy Envy apples but only if they are fresh. They fade faster than any other Apple I’ve encountered. By that I mean they lose their crispness and become undesirable.

Your advice seems targeted at app developers, and for that, maybe it is good advice. (depends on the product, really. Way back in 1996 Hotmail proved that web based apps could compete with native apps, for email apps anyway)

But this discussion is not about what app developers should do today, given the current state of browsers. It is about whether the browser makers should support enhanced capabilities. This is different.

If the browser makers did support more, of course, your advice would become even less likely to be good advice, since you could make it "fit those platforms" just as well.

I mean, maybe you feel that an email apps that runs on a web page is somehow lesser than one that runs natively. Like, you have to go to a bookmark rather than click an icon, so that is going to feel out of place. I say people have gotten used to that a long time ago. Now it is just a matter of supporting all the things they might expect in the app.
So, this is essentially cache invalidation, mixed with relativity/causality... the hardest aspects of two different fields, all rolled into one data structure/algorithm.

I found it interesting, and something I will have to read a few more times before all the details make sense.

The idea of collapsing the structure when individual changes are no longer needed is appealing in terms of space saving.

I look forward to seeing this implemented.

Virtual memory is often misunderstood and, in my opinion, underused by application programmers.

For example, using a std vec is a very common pattern for a simple dynamic array, but the whole array content is copied every time it resizes, a cost that is more or less amortized because of the doubling in size every time.

Yet, a very large virtual memory block will have the added benefit of address stability, simplicity of implementation and zero copy, of course there is no free lunch as the page fault triggering the page allocation when needed will interrupt the process.

I should make some benchmark to compare the different approaches at some point…

I am genuinely asking. Why is this objectionable?

Why do people find it so horrible that their labour is a commodity? To me that just tells me I should treat my labour like a merchant treats his goods. Always be checking the market to ensure you have something worth selling and while you might sign long term deals, periodically check for the best price to ensure you are getting it.

Why is it important to you that your employer view you as a person?
