Python just doesn't have a special 'non-REPL' syntax.
Unfortunately not Kubernetes, because it decoupled pod lifecycles from load balancers by design. K8S has no idea how to coordinate with load balancers to ensure new requests are flowing to new pods and to allow in-flight requests on moribund pods to complete before terminating them. This leads to at least a small number of 5xx errors being returned to clients on almost every deployment unless you implement workarounds like delaying pod shutdowns with arbitrary sleep times.

With HSBC it’s the same, with the added security of a TUN code that is generated with a physical token for bank transfers.

That said canceling a direct debit on your end even if it’s fraudulent isn’t something you should do as it can wreck your credit score in the UK since you’ll be in debt and depending on the account it can show up as a missed payment immediately even before it going to debt collector/judgement.

If there is a fraudulent transaction you have to contact the bank and file a claim.
> [T]hey thought they already had good enough models to avoid taking large losses.

That's a fair point; the essay doesn't do much to distinguish whether they didn't know they needed to take losses, or couldn't take the pain of the losses.

Nevertheless, it's a pretty good analysis of what a company needs to do, in order to build a model relevant to their own actual business. They need to both know about the pain involved, and be prepared to take it. (And even then it might not work!) Third-party data (and suffering) might not be a good substitute.

I'm relatively new to electric guitar and have a Tagima telecaster clone (T55pwh). I love it - it has no business being as good as it is for as cheap as it is.

One thing about telecasters that you mentioned that is probably not the best design is the 3 barrel string saddles that make intonation challenging (since you can't adjust the intonation of one string without changing another one too). My favorite telecaster player Tim Lerch has a video explaining the way he sets up his teles, and one of the things he does is change to compensated saddles.[1]

> Mobile number, resolved directly by NPCI using proposed mobile to account mapper, is represented as mobile-no@mobile.npci (e.g. 9800011111@mobile.npci). Instead of this, many PSPs (PhonePe/BHIM most notably) ended up using mobilenumber@psp by default because of the usability benefit, and this "centralized mobile mapper" was never built afaik.

There’s been a recent development on this front: interoperable mobile number payments are coming to UPI in the next few months. The special VPA format for it is mobile-no@mapper.npci.

> what's your source for this archetype?

I’d have to dig up the textbook sources, but the key bit is in the definition: market makers quote a two-sided market and make money from the spread [1], i.e. buying at the bid and selling at the offer. If it happens simultaneously, that’s ideal. Every second one is long or short, risk and cost are incurred. Market makers seek to minimise and manage these.

In practice, arbitrage is tough. So most market makers simulate simultaneity by hedging. For example, if longs are accumulating (e.g. due to specialist obligations) one might open shorts or buy positional puts or wing it by shorting SPYs.

An unhedged market maker is just day trading.

The power inversion doesn't work out. They wield the power but you wield the knowledge and experience. It’s a constant battle trying to get them to take you seriously. You might as well just do it yourself. Instead, report to a VP or director. They may not listen all the time but that’s their domain. And because you report that way, the other managers are more likely to listen because you are on the same tier. Plus you get a hard separation so the inexperienced managers don’t boss you around and you can work on work on what you need to. Some dorectors like having an engineer or 5 in the pocket. It doesn’t always work this way but that’s my general impression.
Isn’t a team lead a management position?

My Casio GW-9600 electronic dictionary [1] was an amazing help in learning Japanese. It's perfectly optimized for quick word lookup: it boots from sleep instantly, the definitions are previewed as you type words, it has a full physical keyboard, and the screen is large but low-power so it rarely ever runs out of battery. The metal frame also makes it durable to falls on cement, etc. The content was, of course, also huge, almost guaranteeing that every word I searched for would be there. Well worth the money. I'm sad that the newer models became much slower; when you have to look up hundreds of words a day, there's a big difference between 5 seconds and .5 seconds.

My favorite dictionary app is a Thai one from word-in-the-hand and Paiboon [2]. The dictionary data is quite extensive, and includes linked categories like "food", "pronoun", "geography", "counter", etc. Tapping on the category tags takes you to other words of the same category (great for studying, say, restaurant vocab) and also to articles that teach you Thai via phrases and cultural info, and to grammatical explanations for, e.g. counters or prepositions. On top of all that, it supports several romanization schemes and includes baked-in information to help you learn to read the Thai orthography. It's a fantastic combination of extensive dictionary with good information for learners. Plus it has a (limited) export feature, which is something that Ex-Word never supported (except for if you bought special hardware to export to).

Our new SUV (Honda CR-V Hybrid) has less blind spots than any sedan and hatchback I had in the last 20 years. Life is also much easier with SUV once you have children. Safety features are amazing on CR-V although not much more than Civic 2017 we had earlier. At speeds below 70mph the behaviour of CR-V is pretty similar to Civic.

I know a company that recently upgraded a computer to Windows XP. That computer controls a building-sized machine. The computer was upgraded to XP take advantage of the latest software update for controlling that machine.

The company that makes the software says it will no longer support XP, and if the machine owners want the next version of the software, they'll have to upgrade to a new machine. A new machine, depending on options, runs $200,000-$500,000.

So in order to keep the XP machine safe and happy for many years to come, it's been airgapped from the world. Not "airgapped" as in "I turned off my laptop's WIFI." But airgapped in the sense that it's 2,000 feet from the nearest building, surrounded by a barbed wire fence, and the control computer is at the top of the machine — probably 50 or 60 feet off the ground.
I was curious as well and found this video explanation[1]. The idea is that tapping on the back of the controller pushes it up into the player’s thumb which is resting on the D-pad causing a button press.

I like Rorty because he writes clearly. Don't agree with him about anything though.

It's worth noting that Rorty's pragmatism is not C.S. Peirce's pragmatism (Peirce repudiated James in his lifetime). Skeptical philosophy is not new (article makes it seem like it is). Also, for someone who "abandoned philosophy" (and truth...), Rorty sure spent a lot of time arguing about it.

I thought the argument was that the spike protein may be "better" to target than some other aspect of the virus the body might learn because of how closely it is linked to the infection method, I.e. a virus without a spike protein would (may) not be able to infect the way covid does and so mRNA vaccines should offer broader protection.

This is just what I read, I don't know it actually makes the vaccine better than a normal immune response, which I imagine is also robust.

> First, the definion for the most of those positions looks Senior Engineers with a few more years of experience: so you are limited to the scope of a single team scope, report to an Engineering manager, just be a worker at a feature conveyor, just be faster, mentor young workers, maybe get some devops skill.

In my experience, this isn't what I've seen staff engineers doing. The expectations you laid out at the top are much more in line with what I've seen staff engineers doing.

The staff engineer's I've known are basically the technical version of a VP or a director. They're often not focused on individual features, but rather new products or large scale architectural changes. The mentoring they do is often mentoring strong developers into future leaders at the company.

The staff engineers at my current company are currently focused on how to integrate multiple products where each product has three to four teams of engineers working on it. At a previous company, I can remember them being focused on whether we stay with on-prem hosting or move to the cloud.

I'm not sure where you're interviewing, but to me it sounds like they may not be big enough to need what I would consider a staff engineer, but they just have seniors that they wanted to promote.
Looks extremely similar!
> I mean, I assume that for some reason the platforms just buy the rights for the dubbed version, but don't the subbed original versions also have a ton of demand (maybe more than the dubbed version)?

Why would it have a ton of demand? Nobody in Germany wants to watch subbed original versions for the same reason nobody in the US wants to do that. The German market is big enough so that everything gets localized and people are used to that and expect it.
> I.e. the price per square foot might make a property look like a steal, while something like a sewer main nearby, or problematic neighbor

This is the real problem.

Even if they have the historical data for that exact house/unit, it won't help them in cases such as:

* That nice view of the woods out the window is now blocked by a massive radio antenna that was just built there

* The river running through the back yard is now heavily polluted by something up-stream

* The new neighbor across the street is a huge nuisance and says they will never move

* The house just had a mass-murder event in it

Just because something is now cheaper than "comps" at price/sq ft and other metrics doesn't mean it's comparable.
But what if I don’t care about that? Why should I pay extra for something I don’t care about? I don’t need the marketing, I don’t need to be featured in the front page of the store, I don’t need taxation and regulation for 100+ countries.

Why should I pay for these things I don’t care about? Why can’t these be separate costs, which I could opt-in? Why can’t they be unbundled?
The insistent downplaying of natural immunity reminds me of an old soviet scifi novel, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Air_Seller, if one can get past the on-the-nose soviet motives.
I have a John Deere riding mower where you have to raise the seat to get at the battery and other mechanical components.

To raise the seat, you have to swivel a tiny by stout metal latch that keeps the seat from bouncing around on it's hinges. The metal latch is held in it's position by gravity-- you have to use your finger to swivel it when you want the seat to move.

This is engineering at it's finest. Effective, durable, efficient in it's purpose. Timeless design as well-- I don't think it could be improved upon.

Do you think the unvaccinated medical workers with natural immunity who were fired were criminally dangerous? I think denigrating nurses and doctors who have been working overtime to save lives for the last two years is pretty harsh and callous (vaccinated or otherwise).

These are the people we all called heros just a year ago. Again, are they really killing more people than they saved?
Python and Rust have two fundamentally different philosophies. Python is all about quick and intuitive programming and it's pretty good at that, though in turn you can get more kinds of bugs and runtime errors that could have been avoided with proper type checking and other measures.

Meanwhile Rust avoids any kind of behaviour that isn't clearly visible in the code. That includes unambiguous syntax, like the mandatory curly braces for loops and conditions. And of course the semicolon as a clear separator, which comes in handy when iterators or the builder pattern are used.
> C++ templates and just allow whatever by textual substitution

The Julia approach is indeed elegant. An in-between position taken by F# is statistically resolved type parameters, where type safety is maintained and semantics largely preserved by constraints on members. It's a pain to write but trivial to consume though errors can be obstruse. More type level flexibility on the CLR (which seems to be planned) will further improve things when it comes to generic programming.
I don't think that sounds like a bad idea at all. The payments market is massive and there is plenty of pie to go around.

So it is possible to do but because it isn't required to actually "get to" work it feels futile?

I haven't really described much here. I'm just asking if "commuting" to get coffee from a local shop or something could serve as a substitute. Your response seems to indicate that it couldn't but I'm not exactly sure why that is.

Seriously? Berlin's tower blocks are the favelas of the developed world.

Also, the reason why Berlin hasn't had the same pressure is because it is one of the few cities in the developed world that has actually shrunk over a multi-decade period. It is very easy to limit population density when there is no pressure on housing. And, ofc, the historical division of the city meant that it had to develop more than one centre. These factors aside, afaik, the development of Berlin hasn't been exceptional...they built suburbs when there was pressure on housing in the early 20th century, built public transport, those suburbs eventually integrated into the city...very few cities have grown through greater intensity in the centre because cost is prohibitive, regardless of regulations.

Nothing to do with regulations, everything to do with historical circumstance (also, the guy you replying to is quite correct...if you actually look at housing regulations in the US, they have been a tool for racial/economic segregation...being real, that is why the limit on multi-family housing exists, the US has very low population density, saying they will become Delhi if they reduce regulations is hysterical).
I don't know what you'd consider light but the Akto packs to around 1.3-1.5 kg.

I worked at Xerox during this period and know and/or worked with all of the people in this article. Dealing with paper is a colossal PITA but it's why printers and copiers exist so you have no choice. Xerox's strategy of building platforms that could be scaled helped somewhat but paper can act differently at different speeds so it's not a guarantee that scaling won't bring new challenges.

Many years ago I worked on a small 14 ppm machine that was intended for worldwide distribution. We spent considerable time testing in "hot/wet" environmental chambers because in Brazil, where Xerox had a large factory and sold domestically, people would set up copiers on the sidewalk and sell copying to passersby. Damp paper is very different than dry paper and we had to be robust against it.
Agreed.

However, the "_________ are bad; maybe we should regulate their use" argument is an interesting one. Depending on what you put in the blank, reaction varies wildly. I think most reasonable people don't think AS/400s are inherently bad, but would blame the individual for their misuse. Plug in "guns," "cars," or "drugs," and see what happens. :-)
PL/I and PL/M are languages. CP/M is an operating system. The '/M' and that CP/M was mostly written in PL/M are the only 'basis' for CP/M from PL/M, but PL/M didn't affect what CP/M was created as.

From what I've been able to gather, these QR code systems are mostly based off of the WEF's Commonpass digitial identity standard (either directly, or inspired by), which seems to be a graduated version of the ID2020 project (many of the same ideas and sponsors).

The projects are meant to present a standardized format for the provision of easily validated information about an individual in environments where low-end hardware is common and internet connectivity is unreliable.

The QR code was chosen as the standard form of information transfer because it can be printed on paper and remain easily validated if someone lacks a device to put it on.

The codes aren't primarily meant to control pandemic spread, this just happens to be the first thing driving their widespread adoption.
Look up their “project ketchup”. Their managers overrode the models and cut both fees and reno cost to win more deals. The WSJ and Business Insider wrote about this. I was at Zillow for many years and the insiders I know tell me the articles are correct but just lacking some nuance.

Many people leap to their own reasons why Zillow offers failed but the most proximate cause really does seem to be management and operational failure.
50+ principal engineer here. My perspective is US-centric, but I've worked closely with engineers on teams & orgs globally, both in the past as well as my current role. Not FAANG+ but close/adjacent; large, cloud-focused tech.

It's true that IC roles are less common at this level but they are definitely out there, especially in big tech. In the US anyway, it's basically a 2-tier system: $700K+ total annual comp or sub-$200. I didn't discover the former even existed outside the Bay area until the last few years, but boy am I glad I did. If you love what you do, in the right organization you'll have autonomy, creative freedom and potentially influence org-wide. And I'm not gonna lie, the money is great. (Side note to my US-based friends: at the high end, Salary.com, GlassDoor, etc is absurdly low). To the OP: if you're feeling constrained by your existing environment, consider looking around. The last 2 companies I interviewed asked virtually all design/architecture & leadership questions, no "leet code". There are definitely lots of opportunities from FB, Google, Apple & Amazon for PE roles in Europe so consider looking around. But that all assumes you fundamentally enjoy what you do (not talking structurally, actual system & technical leadership — the building & shipping part). I work hard at times, but honestly these days I could do most of my job in a couple of hours per workday. I wish you the best.
