personally, I find the code it outputs to be easier to understand often than the source because it simplifies a lot of stuff into the most abstract logic. I think it takes some getting used to for your brain to connect those pieces, though
When I say they tied our hands one example would be that they had system hard caps on how much you could refund a customer for incorrect billings. Specifically 75$ per day per account. So if a customer was legitimately owed 300$ then you would need to write it down and each day refund them 75$ until they were refunded their due. I actively kept up with that but if you got someone else who didn't care as much, well good luck ever getting that 300$.
If I recall, the whole thing took about 6 hours

Chick-fill-a might be a bad example given their history with LGBT folks.

Wow that is a really interesting position to take, I appreciate the bluntness.

How would you reconcile that with other nations or people who currently have ownership of said artifacts, and have a heritage of conquering / empires / archaeology / tomb raiding / whatever you might call it? Someone might see the British Museum out the window of their apartment and have photos of themselves in the Egypt exhibit.

I'm not trying to be mocking or trivialize the issue or your answer, just trying to explore this idea.
I just measured that by testing it personally, cause I just don't trust/don't want to spend money on what I also know is a model that is more fallible than 2 weeks of '''stagnation'''. Honestly though I'm glad it's working for you though cause I kinda thought it was an expensive TDEE calculator, based off people I known do it have gained weight eating some of their recommendations could have easily been the service they got too but still gave me a poor impression.

That's also why I prefer physical retail to Amazon: discovery.

Especially for "engineering" components or systems.

A physical electronics shop with bins of components is FAR SUPERIOR to finding both new and correct components than online sources like Digikey. You often "find what you didn't know you needed" for the same or different project or discover a new project idea from what you find by accident.

This also is why physical libraries and bookstores are superior to Amazon: you can discover books you weren't looking for and quickly assess the "breadth of a subject" in ways that can never be done (or at least never ARE DONE) online.

The internet is in many ways the worst invention ever that we really have never truly needed. I saw a reality "Super CME risk to internet" story and honestly I DO NOT SEE A DOWNSIDE to this! Being cut off for some months would be as healthy to people and society as COVID and lockdowns were to people realizing they DO NOT need their old jobs (and now there's a labor shortage for marginal, low-paying work - which is probably mostly a good thing overall).
I worked in a large Telco store as a sales consultant for around 5 years and I have some views on this, having served thousands of customers.

Organisations such as T-Mobile, AT&T and even the Telco I used to work for in Australia are fortunately/unfortunately made up of people just like you and I. This means that your experience of dealing with a telco or a brand is highly dependant on the person you speak with in store. These people aren't all incredibly motivated people, nor are they all at their very best everyday like they need to be as people in front of customers. It's no excuse, but it is a factor.

I was around before and at the point the digital waiting line came into play and it is overall better than not having one. In this story, the problem is that clearly the store didn't have enough staff serving customers to visually justify that the store was busy enough to put someone in a queue. I worked in a shopping mall so customers who walked into a our visibly very busy store were happy that they could get some food or continue shopping while waiting.

With regards to availability of staff, where I worked we followed a "My customer my responsibility model" where it was your responsibility to follow and resolve a customers problem. As stores provided not just sales but also customer service across consumer and business mobility products and internet services. The tricky part is that a customer might come into the store with a complex billing problem and it require almost an hour to resolve. In a store of perhaps 4 active consultants, on a busy day if 2-3 people are working on complex customer support queries, you wont have enough people available to advise people on what mobile to buy.
My experience of voice to text is that it's painfully nondeterministic; amazing when it works, which is... just short of enough for me to trust it.
It's not difficult to be one of the biggest killers of young people, because young people very rarely die.
My SO had to switch to a new unlocked phone she already had and needed to change a mini-SIM to micro-SIM. The process took two hours with AT&T and traveling to two different stores because "only corporate stores" can do certain things for customer service.

They are completely clueless how to provision a fucking phone. Never mind the idiocy of issuing a non-convertible mini-SIM when she got it around 2013.
The problem is that most people are NOT a meaningful part of an early team. The Silicon Valley Dream is to find a unicorn startup and be one of the first 5 engineers. In pursuit of that dream some people work way too much at jobs where they are NOT going to get rich from it. Stock options almost always end up being worth nothing. I think the OP has a point, which is, unless you're really sure you stand to get rich from that job, don't put your mental health on the line for it. Sound advice.

Fourier transforms are amazing. Once I "got" how they worked it really made a lot of things like this make a lot more sense.

Blotting out "bright points" in a 2D transform is basically creating a bandpass filter to get rid of those frequencies. That pictures have frequencies, is cool in itself, looking at each vector through the image as a series of samples.
While very little of the writings of Carthaginians has survived, the language itself (Phoenician/Punic) is well understood because a very close relative, which was mutually intelligible with it, has, however, survived: Hebrew. So if anything did turn up, we'd be able to read it.

Contrast this with another ancient language: Etruscan. Although we have a number of longish texts in the language, we can't translate much of them. Etruscan has left no descendants, and Emperor Claudius's books on the language haven't survived. There is one bilingual text of more than a few words (the Pyrgi tablets). The other language is Phoenician. We can read that.
Right, but that's a bigger problem than confusing turn signals. Doesn't matter what shape they are in that case.
Your premise that you don’t save money by buying your phone through the carrier is incorrect.

AT&T has had generous trade-in options to upgrade an existing iPhone to a new one since forever. I’m typing this on an iPhone 12 that was bought for list price, but AT&T offered somewhere around $350 for an old iPhone 7Plus that was half broken. There’s absolutely no way I would have been able to resell that old phone for so much in the open market or through Apple’s trade-in program.

If you paid attention, these kind of trade-ins have been possible ever since the second iPhone appeared on the market.

It’s true that the trade-in locks me into a 2 year contract, but I can live with that: the plan matches my needs very well, so I don’t care, and I don’t upgrade phones every year either.

That doesn’t mean that I like AT&T’s customer experience: they signed me up for a warranty plan behind my back that I had to cancel after seeing my first bill. But that’s orthogonal to the earlier point.

Yeah they are more likely just eating too much, and eating the wrong foods.

That was a good chuckle. I immediately shared with friends. Thank you for this moment of happiness.
Lovely stuff, but halftone prints are just one type of prints. Before digital printing was a thing, photos were created using enlargers throwing light through a negative on photosensitive paper. Since the negative was also created using photochemical effects, the "frequency" effect was much reduced. This can still be done by ordering prints in "photographic papers" by Fuji or Kodak.

If the image was created using a digital sensor, then it won't work as well, of course because the sensor itself is subject to a grid. However, the kind of Bayer Filter used in the sensor can help tackle the effect at source. This is what Fuji's X-Trans sensor[1] claims to do. (I am a Fuji user but I have no data point to offer in either direction)

And this is why we don’t let minors drink. Adults get to do lots of potentially dangerous things, as adults we as a society (generally speaking, the specific details are different from country to country but the general principle seems universal) let adults decide such things for themselves.
It isn't working for me, and strangely enough the signal Twitter account has no mention of the outage. Their status page also claims everything is operational.

At least there is an in app notification about technical difficulties but it would be nice to see from an official source if it is an isolated incident or not.
I really feel like Apple's stores are an embarrassment. I understand they have some really unique challenges with way more foot traffic volume (especially during COVID times) but my issues with them started way before COVID.

Apple has gotten so much larger as a company than it was when the iPod was it's most successful product, but it's stores are basically still the same.

They should have started moving away from the in mall concepts a while ago or figured out a way to better handle the massively increased volume for things like service and order pickup. They do have bigger standalone stores now, but only in very dense city centers.

I remember having to wait for 20 minutes like 8 years ago just to pick up a phone case I bought online because only certain people could go get it. I wrote a thoughtful email and got a reply back from the store manager saying "yeah you're right, you've already paid you shouldn't have to do that"

They're only just now coming up with a way to handle in store pickups in a streamlined way: https://www.macrumors.com/2021/09/24/apple-store-bronx-dedic...

One time I walked in to buy an iPhone and also had to wait 10 minutes for an "iPhone specialist" - a regular Apple employee couldn't ring me up.

It sucks because you can tell they do spend a lot of effort on having good customer service and support, but it all comes together in such a bad way in their in person stores.

I can text Apple at any time and get excellent support that way. I just only buy things online/do support on text and phone.
AT&T had a recent data breach. Time to switch back.

Ask HN: Software design patterns for projects without a scope?
My work often involves starting with creating small prototypes that show a concept or solve a very specific problem. That prototype solves that problem, the client is happy and wants to extend it. The software grows from there, usually one feature at time. For these projects, the client usually doesn't know what comes next until they need it. This extension can sometimes be immediate, or could be years after the fact.

"Common wisdom" states that the prototype should be thrown away when the concept is proved and the funds come in, but for me there is never a point at which that makes sense. As I mentioned, it's one feature at a time.

I feel I do a good job at designing those prototypes in a decoupled, extensible way. I think about what direction the project could take, and try to put the right levels of abstraction in. Despite my best efforts, oftentimes I'm rewriting existing chunks of code to incorporate the new features because I chose a certain structure that no longer makes sense.

What I'm looking for is to improve this part of my programming. Are there any good resources on designing software that will grow/evolve over time? Software that never have a project plan for more than a few months or a few features?

To add to your comment:

This is how Electron Crystallograpy works. You can choose to get half the Fourier transform (aka the diffraction pattern) with phase information lost, or use a secondary lens to get the full picture back after correction. It's quite magical.

Then you can do FT on that final image on a computer and then modify that pattern in reciprocal space to fix flaws with the image like astigmatism and noise.

http://www.calidris-em.com is the software for this.
Omg this is totally incredible I love it - congrats OP!

To address _a_ particular negative comment in this thread.

1. I am often weary of browsing subreddits for their episode discussions because it's quite easy to see spoilers by using the search field, since it will bring up future discussions of episodes where spoilers are allowed. YMMV but this has definitely happened to me before.

2. Some subreddits conveniently have episodes on their sidebar, some only have for the most recent season, some don't have at all

3. _Sigh_ Yes you could of course do this manually: Hacker news hasn't changed a bit lol https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9224

If this picks up traction it would be great to see an api so that apps like track.tv and others could pull data from reddit discussions in an structured way :)
The third possibility is that is your impression of him was wrong.
You really need some nonlinear functions if you want to compute interesting things (and you can't build nonlinear functions out of purely linear parts).
> unbridled speculation (or probably, Tether)

One can thank decades of central bank malfeasance for this. I consider crypto in large part just a bit further out on/at simmilar place on the spectrum than DM/EM HY, neg nominal-yielding $ denom soverign/corporate bonds, and neg eps corps equity.

I think those who are clutching their pearls over tether and ignoring the fact that many offshore banks with $ denom "deposits" (no fdic "backstop", that still wont protect against systemic risk onshore, and various amount of rules and regs on paper only [no enforcement powers, very little operations transparency into all the derivatives under then sun, most bilateral]) on their balance sheet are in a weaker position than them and are generally ignorant of the eurodollar system (esp wrt rampant rehypothication of collateral/cashflows denominated in currencies their local jurisdictions cannot mint at will).

> it became clear that a huge chunk of yield was coming from earning tokens that had market value for no particularly clear reason.

Yeah, i hate this about the defi lending (over/under/un -collateralized) space now and I purely focus on what of that yield is actually in stablecoins and ignore the part that isn't (I can always dump that part for stablecoins and put that back in).

> I think this is insanely cool to observe, but also insanely stupid for people to put material capital (often capital they can't really afford to lose) into these experiments which are likely to fail.

I agree, and the same is true in tradfi markets for most speculative actors and those where the cb/gov cannot "afford" to "backstop" everything up to junk bonds when passive global leveraged long-duration trade rolls over occasionally.
Tools and materials available to construction worker are now space age by comparison, so this feels simplistic. Houses today are amazing, but a tunnel I guess is still the same.

The costs of a life has gone up since the 40's, probably by a factor of 10. $300,000 to ~$3 million. But they probably were undervalued then and overvalued now, this is a big productivity cost, human lives per house/project. Construction is one of the most dangerous industries.

I guess a fair point is, construction is still full of humans, now one agriculture(Also very dangerous industry) driver can sleep while their GPS tractor does it's thing.

It would be interesting to include the home owner reno factor GDP input, the empowerment of the amateurs is high with all the new tech.

From the report -

"Productivity in the US construction industry more than doubled in the 20 years following the end of World War II, reflecting productivity increases in the overall economy, huge investment in the interstate highway system, and housing in new suburbs, for instance. After this, however, the sector’s productivity appeared to decline for 40 years as the focus shifted from infrastructure projects toward more residential building, and repair and renovation work, which involves more complex sites"
How SREs are unique in their approach to work
I've been moving more expensive operations into postgresql functions, Initially writing them has taken a good chunk of time, but they just kind of do the job, much faster too and with low to zero maintenance so far at least.

I don't think I can only credit postgresql functions with the low maintenance though. I suspect that the additional overhead / time to write them has forced me to really make sure they are written correctly (and yet I'm sure there's a lot of optimization I could still do).
Everything XML wanted to be, JSON did better. Xml validation and namespaces were kind of half way there solutions that just made things more complex than they needed to be.
Those things can in principle be expressed with a predicate using the SATISFIES type specifier, but the problem with that is that you currently can't pick such types apart for optimization purposes in any existing implementation, only test membership for values. Presumably that's one of the reasons why Qi/Shen was created.
I think people find more solace in boiling down their weight problems to something external to them and that goes for almost anything. I think that the belief is also perpetuated in families because the understanding of nutrition, exercise and food aren't generally concepts we all have a great grasp on.

As we get older and I've experienced this myself (late 20's), we slowly reduce our exercise/movement and indulge on higher caloric food. As adults we often have added stress which can reduce our want to exercise and increase our need for comforts such as alcohol or food.

A big realisation for me was when I started an office job, I needed to be much much more conscious about what I eat and how much to exercise to keep off gaining weight, let alone lose it.

With everything going on in life as an adult, exercise takes a lower priority than everything else as it requires us to take the step to look after ourselves both physically and mentally. This is also at a point where people need to improve their understanding of nutrition and to navigate their way through the abundance of highly available bad foods. And make the commitment to do so with a partner (and kids).

Looking after yourself physically is challenging enough, but when you need to bring your partner and your kids along for the journey it becomes incredibly challenging.
The thing about allowing libraries being done is a bit more nuanced than not having lots of different libraries doing the same thing. There are lots of competing libraries even now and existing libraries do get surpassed in popularity. But they keep working and don't become unusable or problematic as often as in other cultures.
Sounds good for personal projects.
That's not what's happening. Coal-fired power stations are being re-activated to cover the shortfall.

You do raise a good point - as electricity is fungible, and the power grid is built, operated, and maintained by a national institution, then how can a particular energy provider promise that their power is more renewable than that from the the others? Otherwise, every time Bulb gets a new customer, we are supposed to believe that they get all the renewable electrons, and the power supplied to the rest of us is just a bit more fossil-fueled.

I do know the answer, and that is that those companies just buy and sell the various "pinky promise" certificates and accreditations that pass for being "renewable" and "carbon-neutral" , and have nothing at all to do with actually boosting the supply of renewables.
I find that a handful of experiences with ketamine over the past few years have been very good for my mindfulness.
I’ve used plastic for 3D printed pin tumbler and disc detainer keys. It works well enough as a proof of concept, though not something you’d want to rely on for daily use.
It prompts for some sites (using some .well-known URL protocol?). But I recently learned you can add the "One Time Password" field type to any Login entry manually. I do it all the time for intranet/test sites that need MFA and I have done it with sites that didn't prompt that are shared in our family (home) and team (work) 1Password vaults. The field time lets you scan a QR code or enter the seed key manually

Must we always bring this up whenever Chick-fil-a is mentioned? The GP was clearly talking about in-store customer service practices.

CFA was in hot water because it’s religious founder was donating to charities deemed anti-lgbt. Not because they were assaulting, accosting, or discriminating against LGBT customers. I didn’t see any mention at all of acts of discrimination in the restaurants against anyone LGBT and nothing that would imply their customer service model pays special discriminatory attention towards anyone LGBT.
