This is just how some places work, unfortunately.

We all push to main, no code reviews, no CI etc.

Hell, some people here patch things by downloading the live dll, decompile, update code, recompile and stick it back to live...
Always important to remember the code is only ever the implementation of an idea.

Instead of thinking of MVPs to prove an idea, startups should be ideas that are Known To Work and the MVP more like this - the actual minimum needed to connect a knowledgeable user to a well-trodden business action.
Concluding from your previouw answer it is due to your choices, not possibilities. Financial education should be mandatory, to this day only academics seem to know the basic concept of wealth accumumation => need for investment to build personal wealth...
Well not really. If a system does not have dislikes then people will find other metrics to evaluate what's good.

For example Likes/Views ratio.

If a video has 1M views but 1000 likes I can most likely ignore it

If a video has 1500 views but 1000 likes now that's something I should be looking at
If you're a unity dev, you kind of need it working.

Those arn't some programs 3 enterprises use in some underfunded department.
Sure, but the 'madness' is to require this in the first place because, really, it serves no purpose (apart from allowing to prosecute people for perjury on top of fining them for breaking lockdown). That's the point re. love of French administration for paperwork and forms.
I'm pretty sure that's the point.
AFAIK they are always hiring, more or less. I expect pay rates will be toward the low end of the scale, particularly for London.
"So, like sales tax. Which we have uniform and open laws for. Or income tax. Which we have uniform and open laws for."

Laws are not mechanisms, proof of transaction, records etc..

'Smart Contracts' as something unassailable in courts are ridiculous obviously.

But 'smart contracts' that facilitate micro-transactions, every day purchases, and flow through the system without human interaction seem like a good idea.

Imagine when you buy that thing on your Business Visa, and the 'smart contract' is signed, sent to head office, sent to your accounting software, balanced, money in your bank account immediately etc.. All with a series of signed elements.

I understand that's not exactly what it's supposed to look like, but that's the kind of thing I see happening.

While you could say 'there should be a standard for that' it might be that the standards are not nimble enough, and a more generic 'start contract' system could work to tie it all together.

And maybe importantly: to skip VISA and classical banks while we're at it.
I think you can check out those online courses such as the ones on Coursera. Gatech... All have good resources and offer a good graduate degree in many fields of CS.
facepalm the assumption being made in my statement is that the individual cell can support the same charging rate.

my understanding was it was the chemistry of the cells that impacts the charging rate, not the physical size. happy to be wrong on that though.

scaling has mean dimensions. whats best for energy density may not necessarily be best for charging rates.
Chrome is a bit of a PITA for local dev now that it also prevents me from using https://localhost with self signed certificates. There are some flags you can toggle in chrome/chromium but I can't figure out which versions still support them.
> forcing men to spend less time at work

I generally agree, keep in mind the idea is to force everyone to work less, distributing the non-domestic labor more evenly across the board. The idea is very materialist, in that domestic labor needs to be done, and it's not even that "all men" don't want to do it, but that bosses have more power than husbands and ultimately we need to stop the work hours/effort rat race to free up the free time to re-figure out what families and domestic labor ought to look like.

The current trend is capitalism reaches deeper into the family. Restaraunts are displacing cooking for more social strata, Pre-K is less controversial than paid family leave which brings intensified economies of scale to child rearing.

I'm not against either of those things --- at least there will be a villages (of wage-workers) to raise kids again and more social time --- but I don't want them to happen for the wrong reason of employers sucking up more and more of our time for no good reason.

MacBook Pro/Max Shipping Delays
Anyone else getting shipping delays on their new MacBook Pros? Mine is still "processing" and just got a notification that it is delayed. My original delivery date was Nov 10-17, now showing Nov 26 - Nov 30. Hopefully it doesn't slide further.

Spec:

I think it is, actually - especially if 90% of people who "do their homework" actually end up with the wrong conclusions, and 50% of those are too stubborn to admit that they are wrong. It can be a massive waste of trained professionals' time.

> Yarn blew NPM away on speed with more features and nicer developer workflow.

I dunno if it's still true, but for years into people saying "LOL use yarn, it's a better replacement for NPM" it was still really easy to find packages that broke under Yarn because it lacked some feature or other, or was skipping some obviously-a-good-idea sanity check that NPM did and so crashed rather than proceeding after adjusting its approach, or to venture slightly off the happy path of doing "yarn install" and running into features that yarn didn't support, but NPM did. A venture into the issue tracker in that time period was enlightening, and I don't just mean the sheer count, but digging into some of the issues and why they were happening.

[EDIT] in fact, in the agency I was at at the time, a kind of joke developed that a project wasn't fully underway until you'd been forced to replace Yarn with NPM.

If electrical service enters through the garage, the additional wiring is probably minimal (though Cu prices are very high!), however:

(Calculations for common US garages)

NEC calls for 240V/200A service for an average-sized residence. Wire downsizing is allowed to 83% of service rating, so 166A.

So if my math is reasonable, in an average US single-family residence, you have max 39.84kW safely available for charging, with no other demand in the house.

(missing factor: what is the efficiency of AC-DC conversion in these chargers?)

Even at best, this is still only 30% of your battery limits, but might be more than 10kW for many customers.

That is a complete red-pillesque reductive explanation that I'd expect to hear out of a MGTOW style community.

Intimacy happens at more than just the physical level, and most people reserve some types of intimacy (physical or emotional) for their significant other. When you cross the boundary of intimacy you normally set for people other than your significant other with someone else, that can easily be interpreted as disingenuous or betraying to your SO.
Lol no.

The launch site is geolocated to an area firmly under Russia proxies' control. The Buk's route from the Russian border via Donetsk to Snizhne is traced. There are hours of phone conversations with proxies and their Russian handlers, all discussing the event, then the coverup. We know the names of pretty much everyone important involved. "You don't know who fired the shot" - it's difficult to imagine that you don't know all this after so many years of report after report, phone call after phone call, detail after detail, so I can only conclude that you're not arguing in good faith.
I fought in the networking wars. Implemented a lot of protocols and a lot of protocol gateways. Calling the reason for TCP winning 'arbitrary' or even softening that to 'not based entirely on technical merit' does not do justice to the entire land war in Asia that happened between about '85 and '95. If anyone cares about that period, they can do some research, otherwise, I would propose not uttering unfounded opinions.
>Ironic that this post makes it to front page but an admission that any npm package published before 2020 may have been hacked gets no interest! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29234098

Not ironic. That article's unfortunate and misleading title isn't nearly as eye-catching as one describing the true nature of its content; a deliberate decision.
> and the transfer must complete in less than 90 seconds […a]nd frequently those transfers are also free.

From what I hear in Germany, instant transfers always cost extra unless your bank account has a high fee. But that might just be us.
Instead of requiring people to have special password rules, we should require people to use a password manager.

Then, if you have special password rules, the manager could generate a strong password that fits into the defined rules.

Of course, getting rid of passwords entirely, is the best option (ie: using a decentralized sso solution).
Does anyone have a link to any of the court documents? I'm curious what their legal basis for this is, and I can't find any actual legalese.

Amazon being liable doesn't sound likely to me, but perhaps they've actually found a way to do it.
Fun read. You're a good friend.

I assume there was some additional context about the order in the form that the restaurant filled out, to assist in the end-of-month bookkeeping?

And unless you built reporting into the MVP, I bet your friend got to learn how to use some kind of database GUI (e.g. phpMyAdmin) and/or basic queries?

>The app would assign the order to a free courier, triggering an email. Their Gmail was our mobile app!

>The courier would then pick it up, deliver, take cash on delivery, and mark themselves as “free” again.

This tripped me up for a second. In this context, "free" indicates that the courier was available to pick up an order and make the delivery.
Any notable ones you would care to mention? I'm picturing disqus implemented as a browser extension; I'm just curious.

Letter from your unconscious on why you are a sucker for Black Friday
Ha, I remember this package. It's a dependency of a dependency of a dependency in several projects inside the company I work for. I think either React, Babel, or Webpack depended on it at some point in time.

Nobody needs to write satire about the state of Javascript package management when people write (and use!) libraries like these.
> We are living a unique human experiment with Crypto. I really wish people would stop bashing the industry and instead join in the experiment.

This is the sort of pseudo-religious statement that makes people bristle when they hear about crypto.

You frame it as an experiment, and then follow it up by your wish for everyone to join the experiment. Normal experiments have control groups. The only groups that have no control group and demand universal obedience are religions. This is why people view crypto-promoters as the modern day equivalent of televangelists.
An HTML input field can give your password generator a hint, right? Never looked at it closely but had the impression e.g. Safari's generator could adapt to certain rules and that they were somehow described in the HTML.

I am happy that it actually works identically and interchangeably across tools for you.
Why couldn't Javascript have ever built a halfway decent standard library?

Much of the terribleness of the current programming environment could have been rectified if this fundamental failure had not been allowed to continue.
Doesn't the thought of "something that is supposedly/hypothetically going to change the fundamental economic system of the planet" built on back of VC money (I realize not all of crypto started from VC funding) seem to likely have some fundamental flaws? That and quality developer talent is rare that the final products shipped are going to be poor?

I really don't see how this thing shakes out well for humanity (not even including carbon costs)
Very cool. Thanks for putting this together.
Sorry, I'm not saying that what they're saying isn't ego-based. I really don't know because I wasn't there for the conversation. What I'm saying is, the only way you can shift it from being ego-based to being fact-based is to present those facts that show the right way, or at least find a way to change the conversation into being headed in that direction. Just calling out ego-based behavior isn't enough. To me this has applied to every professional situation, it's how to keep any meeting on-track and avoid having coworkers getting into fights about egos. If you don't have the data then it's going to be hard to make a convincing argument, I don't know a good solution to this unfortunately. It requires real work and you may have to get creative. At a big company often the most convincing argument you can make is that a decision will save X amount of dollars, so you can start from there. For a volunteer open source project you will have to find out what else really motivates the developers and then go from there.

Apple I think is a good example. It only mattered to Apple when it cost them a non-significant amount of resources. Ultimately they are a company and they respond to profit, if people buy or don't buy the product then that's the strongest fact that will influence them. Also I think it is a misconception that GNOME has a lot of money from Red Hat. They don't really from what I've seen, most of the Red Hat people I know are pretty strapped for time. I also have no idea what you mean by forced it as default. Distros don't have to choose it, I've seen many distros that choose other things or just don't have a default. If you mean things like Ubuntu, IIRC they chose to retire Unity and go with GNOME because Unity wasn't profitable for them. So with companies it always comes back to that...

I also don't really think it is useful to call out people for imposing their vision. On a certain level, everyone who builds things is doing that. They have their point of view and that's the only thing they can express, because well, what else would they express? If they expressed your point of view all the time, then they wouldn't be themselves, they would be you. It's possible to change someone else's vision but that's usually done by presenting new information, i.e. convincing facts.

If the ratio was this high, I would assume it has been artificially inflated.
Duplicated code != Messy code.

The only time duplicated code is bad is when there is an actual logical requirement for the multiple instances of duplicated code to be the same. Like some actually underlying concept linking the duplicated code sections that is worth abstracting.

That is not always the case. Just as often IME the situation is actually, "these two things happen to have the exact same behaviour right now." It's important to recognize that there may be no guarantee that will be the case *in the future*.

If the reason for the duplicated code is just coincidence, let the code be duplicated. You'll give the duplicated code sections freedom to drift apart naturally as requirements change and save yourself the trouble of having to decouple things later.
> Yet if we value these assets in terms of traditional valuation models we find they should be worth absolutely nothing.

This is the core tenet that these skeptics get lost with - the premise that there is no real central value to blockchain technology. It is a lost and shallow view made by people who have chosen not to engage or understand what they espouse on. Maybe this person just has too much to lose from change to the status quo, or they choose not to educate themselves (try it) - neither is really valid response if you want to write coherently about something.

> We have systems like BitTorrent and Tor which are decentralized networks and whose responsibility is to blindly distribute data according to a set of prescribed rules and algorithms.

This is a great line because they clearly appreciate some decentralized tech. It is not such a cognitive leap to see that blockchain based smart contracts (Ethereum) are vehicles to build more legitimate decentralized protocols. Perhaps it's just too much. Because the landscape is now too large it is too difficult for the writer to point out specific valuable aspects, they get confused, and out of laziness paint a broad brush of "woo" all over it all.
Nobody picks a checking account based on how efficient bank transfers are. It's not that people don't care; of course they do. It's just not something that is advertised, or relevant to you until you run into it, and so is completely overshadowed by what IS advertised, and will affect you immediately (cost of the account, availability of funds once deposited, easy of deposit, etc).
I don't think that the origin of the problem is this or that social structure.
I think that these structures bind it in one way or another to make this basic human condition bearable.
Both for the individual and for society.
But they determine to a large extent who benefits from the dichotomy of being and consciousness.
Nor do I believe it can be overcome or cured.
To be human is not just to have knowledge of and insight into the world and knowledge of and insight into oneself.
It means knowing that this knowledge gives agency.
An extremely powerful tool for survival, something special.
But this tool is at the same time an instrument of torture of itself.
It reflects also its transience and insignificance.
You may survive today because you are the cunning hunter, but one day you will die.
And nothing, what ever you've done or knew will change that.
And another day, everyone who remembers that you and your kind ever existed will be gone.
And nothing, what ever you've done or knew will change that.
In the end, it even will seem like there never was anything at all.
And nothing, what ever you've done or knew will change that.
Facing that and dealing with it is the basic premise of human consciousness.

Most of the time we have coped with rituals, religion and rules.
Recently we have science, technology, entertainment industry and consumption.
Art and Drugs have always played a role in escaping the torment.

Most can't face it without the help of the above, some even flee the terror of consciousness through suicide.
It definitely does. One reliable way I've noticed for this to happen is if you have the app that caused the notification open on another device. Presumably that app is then saying to the notifications system "don't worry, I've got this", but then that notification disappears on all devices.
It seems on output the font becomes a bit bigger than on the preview (so the author and title collide).

You could say "finance of last resort" or you could call it a new paradigm of finance. You are simply dismissing something that you have no personal connection to.

When you can't open a bank account, are discriminated against by institutions, live in highly authoritarian environments etc. This type of finance is not a "last resort" it's your first resort.

The reason it's not "popular" however you want to define it is simply a matter of time and not function.
The X factor will be the external factors outside of Qualcomm's control. Sure they have the Nuvia team likely designing a new architecture but the 2 other major pillars are:

1. Microsoft's work to "ARM-tize" Windows 11. Will they make a serious effort and succeed, or get scuttled like the Windows RT & 10X efforts previously?

2. TSMC's latest and greatestfab process, whether it be 3nm or beyond. Can Qualcomm secure capacity on it? If not, then it'll be very tough to stay competitive with Apple.
The media occasionally sort of becomes unhinged and only talking to itself. It's hard to attribute why this happened but effectively the consequences is that journalistic ethics standards go out the window. This almost always results in people dying. This kind of behaviour is what starts wars or gets politicians assassinated.

Since this is NYT I'll use an example from NYT.

January 2017: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/19/us/politics/trump-russia-...

Ok fair. NYtimes reporting that phones got tapped. Not exactly a surprise given snowden and how easy it is to get such data. Almost 100% this article is true.

March 2017: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/04/us/politics/trump-obama-t...

Wait... trump isn't offering the Nytimes their own article? Only months later? By the same author? Does Michael S Schmidt smoke a ton of weed and forgot he himself wrote the article explaining it?

So the fact checkers come down and clearly show Schmidt his article saying he must retract?

https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2017/mar/16/donald-tru...

Oh no. Fact checkers kind of got this one wrong.

My point... it isn't about facts. Journalistic standard #1 is honesty. They clearly broke the most important rule.

It goes further: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spygate_(conspiracy_theory)

It's a conspiracy theory! Not only is it false...

This is the media falling from journalistic standards. Every single time in history where the media does this, people die. In the USA, the last major time the media did this, Mckinley got assassinated.
My experience has greatly improved over the past few years. I use Monzo. I used to use Yolt to aggregate a couple of bank accounts and credit cards but Monzo offers that as part of their Monzo Plus accounts. It gives me a consolidated view of my spending.

"what’s stopping a centralized player from duplicating the benefits of that superior solution at a lower cost in a centralized platform?" - This has been my strategy as of late. There are some real cool concepts being built. But once you factor in gas/technology costs and the idea that they don't rely on anonymous p2p transactions, a centralized concept makes sense.
