I think it's great. A few more of these and the banks will finally learn how to have proper security practices rather than the current security theater they are currently.

From one side of things it's victim-blaming, from the other side of things it's the banks which are taking our money to keep them safe but not actually doing the project job of keeping them safe.

I don't need your crappy marketing, I need good access to online services and bulletproof security from anywhere. This is actually quite easy (especially given that my EU passport now even has a chip).

You could argue that then the fraudsters could steal the passport, but let's be honest: this situation didn't happen with a stolen passport and probably has orders of magnitude larger area of risk than a stolen passport.

Agreed. I think most developers find themselves more productive on their side projects than they are in the workplace because there is less overhead.

The creator of LINQ, Erik Meijer, wrote a fun article "The curse of the excluded middle: Mostly functional programming does not work". Yes it's tongue-in-cheek and highly provocative, but many of his points are true. There is a lot more yet to be learned from functional programming than LINQ and switch expressions.

Thank you for mentioning the Feelings Wheel. I never knew it existed and when I looked it up I could immediately see its use with my parenting as my son struggles to express his emotional state. I wonder if you've used it, or the Emotion Wheel, with children or for other use cases like conflict resolution in the workplace?

It is more complete than abandoned. They said they would not introduce bigger changes to the library, since it is so wildly used.

I think some of the original devs moved on to develop Koa.js.
I inherited a system using an unholy combination of Django and Angular, and the data structures are only a tiny bit complex: it's not a simple tree, but some records can have multiple parents. I had to add one checkbox on one modal dialog which mainly affects an accounting procedure. It had to be added in the model, in the serializer, in the three places where a new serializer is instantiated, in two or perhaps three places in the Angular controller, and finally one line in the angular html. In some places you add the field, in others you add the field name to a list. Because "batteries" means in this case: Django heavily abuses Python's dynamic nature. It's opaque, and above all unnecessary. Django is a relic from the time when a POST form was the height of user interaction. That started fading out early 2000s. It's slow, and consumes a lot of memory. I hate it.

No I mean that life is too easy. Depression is caused by feeling that our actions do not translate into consequences in our daily life. When we are unable to achieve anything by our own hands, we start to feel that life is out of control, and depression quickly sinks in. This is the most common form of depression today.

One does not even need to move to a small town or work at a gas station. Most can just leech off parents.

Albeit, I have heard it argued that tenure is not as relevant in the modern era of social media and twitter mobs, because academia is turning into a monoculture of thought through self-censorship.

It is understandable that the more diverse taxpaying public would start to question the purpose of protecting the views of a privileged elite class when they themselves don’t feel supported.

It appears my definition is that that "sometime" is now.

> Bitcoin is ALL market sentiment / vaporware / belief.

Sure, but if you take minute to think about it, so are iPhones.

They sell because people want them.

Supply and demand.

You are then going to tell me about utility.

I claim that:

a) utility is just another way to describe demand
b) cryptos do have utility:
- shielding wealth from govt
- shielding wealth from inflation
- shielding wealth from disgruntled spouses
- moving large quantities of wealth quickly across borders

You might or might now agree with the "morality" of these attributes, but that's neither here nor there: when it comes to economic utility, that's not really a part of the conversation.
Here's a few ways I could think of:
1. It's much more difficult to gamble with debt/debt is not used for gambling to such an extent that the scale would have enough of an effect.
2. From an economy's perspective gambling is net zero. What is catastrophic to an individual is a benefit for the person(casino) on the other side of the bet. Whereas the loss of value from bitcoin would reduce the total balance sheet for the economy.
3. I think that Bitcoin as assets can be used as collateral for other purchases or to be loaned out for others to use. This creates a chain of wealth based on the value of a bitcoin. Break the foundation of this chain (reduce the price of bitcoin by 75%) and that entire chain of wealth creation is broken.
4. The revenue from gambling is around $40 billion per year in the United States, whereas the market value of Bitcoin is over $1 trillion. It's really not apples to apples at all though, since it's market value vs. revenue. I'm not sure a good way to compare the gambling market vs. the crypto market.
> In a direct challenge to the hallowed tradition of tenure, Georgia’s public university system will now let its colleges’ administrations remove a tenured professor with little to no faculty input.

> The Board of Regents on Wednesday approved the new policy, which is the only one of its kind in the country, according to the American Association of University Professors.

> The Board of Regents, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment, has maintained that the policy change will streamline the process of removing faculty members who do not adequately contribute to a university, and the 19-member board unanimously approved the new measure on Wednesday.

> Previously, the process for removing tenured professors included a peer review process with other faculty. Now, professors at 25 of its 26 public universities can be removed after consecutively failing two annual reviews. If a professor also fails to complete an improvement plan after the reviews, then that alone would be justification for termination.

Thank you, I grew up in the UK so the whole US invoices quirks and issues you mention are literal new to me and appreciate the perspective and experience. I do know that the Inland Revenue in the UK and TAX laws have always mandated VAT numbers have to be upon the invoice and other such stipulations. So do wonder how they handle UK invoicing with regards to VAT, but not had any dealing with them.

Did deal with few US companies in the 90's, Sprint and telco's and never an issue there, but then different times and corporate structure with those.

That said EU countries still vary and https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vat-invoicing-rules_en
kinda shows how not having the VAT number can still be valid and legal as well.

Yet you still get country nuances within EU members.

In the UK, VAT invoices is kinda the rule of registered for VAT and the rules https://www.gov.uk/guidance/record-keeping-for-vat-notice-70...

Grading for quality, and correct answers and providing remedial instructions without stigma would elevate everyone.

It is academic fraud to mislabel student grades.

It cheats future employers who will stop accepting degrees as a measure of quality.

It cheats students who rightfully paid and honestly earned their grades.

Most of all it treats the students who didn't earn their grades as less than everyone else. If they were not adequately nutured into a quality student, they should be tutored and assisted in getting up to standard. Consider Always Sunny in Philadelphia, does it help Charlie when he is told he is a genius?

We have this problem right now with anyone who has a sports scholarship. It can be assumed they didn't earn their degrees the same way a non-sport student did.
>OpenBSD split from NetBSD years ago for political reasons.

I was naive in thinking it was always about the focus on priorities, as in Security vs NetBSD's portability. So I decided to read up on it [1]. Since Wiki seems to be purposely quiet / unclear on the incident.

Turns out Open Source Politics isn't that much different 25 years later.

What do you mean? The MP was talking about past achievements, saying that the history of the UK was enlightened by freedom. There is not even an argument about what you're talking about, because they actually are referring to historic achievements.

It's not as interesting to talk about present achievements because the UK is clearly in decline. That's why this politician was identifying their ideology with the glorious past and romanticizing it.

Going on 22 years or so, but the best move was going to a small, bootstrapped startup. I was Engineer #2, and after a couple years, also was the lead for the "org" which included a few other Engineers and a couple offshore people.

My responsibilities ran the gamut from zero to one architecture and software development, answering the phones, product management, running our infra, managing the budget, and everything else. I gained such a broad view of how things work, what customers want, sense of product, etc. that it's helped every other job I've had since.

"My main use for OpenBSD is as a firewall/router, and they frequently make breaking changes to the pf rule syntax so I had to abandon it."

Uhm... well, I've been using it since 3.0 (when pf was introduced) and its been very stable. You have at least 6 months to convert your pf and its never taken me more than a day to get it changed. Its well documented and frankly, even with all the horror stories, I've found friendly help each time I had a question (do read the manual before asking a question). Looking at your firewall rules every 6 months isn't exactly stressful.
I've had good experiences running F# on Linux. I used it to build an API generator from database schemas [0]. Similar to Go you can get a single static binary you can copy anywhere.

It's very convenient and you've got a massive number of .NET APIs to fall back on.

The language is a little complex though. That you cannot call interface methods on an object implementing the interface without explicitly casting to the interface [1] is pretty weird. And getters/setters are a little complex.

If you want an easy introduction to the ML family for educational/historic sake I'd always recommend Standard ML. But if you want a highly pragmatic, mature, strictly typed, compiled, cross-platform language F# is pretty compelling.

I am extremely skeptical of this approach. Weary, too.

It is prioritizing all the wrong things. If grading is inefficient then it ought to be improved, but replacing qualified achievement with instant gratification is very sad to see and will only harm the education of all students subject to the practice.
That last sentence seems like the key. Tenured professors basically have not been held accountable, and they don't want to start being held accountable now.

> Coverage of Apple in more exciting times (when it was basically a computer company)

I also miss times when Apple was all about Mac. Not much you can do about that.
But back then lots of people complained that Apple is turning into iPod company. It's just Gruber didn't write much about iPod (initially at least).

And considering M1 chips I can't say this isn't exciting times for the Mac. Imagine if Apple used Snapdragon chips (or whatever) and the latest Macs were similar in terms of performance to Surface Pro X... (and SP X couldn't even emulate x64 apps at launch).

> more humour, better reviews, more relevant links, less baseball and Kubrick BS, less politics for dummies, less "facebook is bad" for dummies, less open shill and more genuine enthusiast coverage, and so on.

OK, will not argue about baseball, politics or Facebook.

But I do remember lots of blog entries about how MS Windows is bad (viruses and inept marketing) and Mac is about being a better (and more secure) computer e.g. I wouldn't call that less open shill. Gruber was always (well, most of the time) on Apple's side.

Recently I re-read his PowerBook G4 review (Full Metal Jacket) and comparing to his other reviews regarding modern Intel and M1 Macs can't say I see a huge difference.

I assume we are just happen to disagree here.
Page count was a real concern. I wanted to introduce Rust newcomers to easy concurrency, and keep the data-storage side of things manageable (storing a big list of dynamic objects with traits gets messy fast and leads to a lot more borrow-checker fighting). Using an ECS let me dodge the latter bullet, at the expense of a bit of complexity. (I made sure Flappy didn't need an ECS)

Bevy didn't exist when I started writing, or I'd have probably used it. Legion is a great ECS, but it's heavier than I'd like - and Bevy makes a lot of things really easy.

Incident management systems: Harp vs. Opsgenie
Others mention timing, another reason might be the language itself. Unlike Ruby/Python and other languages, core JS is very small, relying on large numbers of dependencies where other languages would have core builtins - the "leftpad" problem. This makes large frameworks difficult to maintain, because the number of dependencies you would need to manage keep the whole thing going (including security patches) makes such projects quite unwieldy over time. Even a "large" framework like NextJS for example sticks to a pretty minimal feature set (rendering, routing, assets), leaving it to the developer to add an ORM or integrate with external APIs.

I'm not paying Bitcoin's energy bill. Bitcoin is paying its own bill, but the electric grid is a marketplace with a finite supply. So the people who own those companies are raising the rates (supply and demand).

Electricity, much like housing, should not be a place where regular folks can get priced out of the market by corporations.

You just want me to be mad at bitcoin so I don't notice that the system itself is sadistic.
