> If he bought modern off the shelf software it wouldn't necessarily have this quirk where you could retrospectively decide which shares the customer owned. He may have found it hard to justify asking someone to write new software for a new machine with this feature without them getting suspicious. So he kept the old machine going.

As mentioned in the link referenced by this comment[0]:

> Perez and O’Hara were found guilty for their role in the fraud, and were sentenced by U.S. District Judge Laura Taylor Swain to two-and-a-half years in prison, which was the minimum sentence.

So even for the old machine that they continued to use, its programmers were found to be guilty i.e. they knew what they were doing was wrong.

And if we did account for carbon properly, then would everyone get all their goods made in scratch from local producers? No, a lot of stuff would still come from 5000 miles away by boat. Because it is really that efficient, whether it "should" be or not.
Their plan wasn't to flip homes in a month or two as far as I'm aware so that's expected if they get out.
In our current non-web application we have a launcher, which allows users to select between the current and a few previous versions. This helps us iterate faster due to less show-stoppers. If a user experiences a blocking bug in current version, they log out and back into an older version.

For our web version I was thinking of doing something similar by having a launcher page, and then having each version run in its own container on a subdomain.

So far I tested this using Docker Compose with Traefik routing the requests to the appropriate app container, and it worked fine. My deployment script modifies the docker-compose.yml config file to add a new container, and then Compose brings the additional container online.

Current users get a notification that a new version is available but can continue working in the current version, and new logins have the new version selected by default (but can be overridden as mentioned).

Would something like this not work with Kubernetes? I'm not yet familiar with Kubernetes but I've been assuming we might end up using it.
You've proven my point exactly. Many of the the Plattenbauten (GDR-era block housing) could not be built in Berlin today because of current regulations. Berlin is targeting a moderate population density with mixed-use neighbourhood, which is the recommendation of subject-matter experts and makes it in general a very nice place to live. There's a huge desire by developers to increase density within Berlin and I have no doubt it would increase massively if there was no check against this.

Nobody is arguing that the entire US would become like Delhi, but can you seriously hold the opinion that housing deregulation would not result in mass production of low-quality housing near major population centers?

There are problems with extremes on both ends. For instance the NIMBY-driven housing policy in SF is not what is needed to create sustainable housing. But is a somewhat unique case, and it doesn't mean an extreme swing in the other direction towards deregulation would lead to a good outcome. Sensible housing regulation is undoubtedly a requirement for sustainable urbanization.

Very common in the Netherlands (and probably other European countries) for areas that don't see enough riders to warrant a regular bus service. I don't know whether the route planning is computer-driven or human-driven, though.

The big downside of these systems is that you must reserve your route at least 30 minutes in advance, so the bus company can plan the most efficient route. I think they're mainly used by (and exist for) people who have no other options.

Saying that management bought at prices higher than model is not the same thing as saying they bought houses expecting to lose money. All that was said was that management increased the prices they would pay and changed the model so they could pay more. Nothing validates the model (again, this is a common-sense conclusion given the informational disparity that Zillow was at).
What are you basing your view on? According to the CDC, previously infected, but unvaccinated people outnumber vaccinated people, when it comes to laboratory-confirmed covid hospitalizations.

>Among COVID-19–like illness hospitalizations among adults aged ≥18 years whose previous infection or vaccination occurred 90–179 days earlier, the adjusted odds of laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 among unvaccinated adults with previous SARS-CoV-2 infection were 5.49-fold higher than the odds among fully vaccinated recipients of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine who had no previous documented infection (95% confidence interval = 2.75–10.99).

I use them a lot to control the tone of what I write. Since periods can indicate a serious or angry tone[1], I often need some other way to indicate a separation between two complete sentences. For example: "It looks like you forgot to do X; that's needed to do Y." Using a period could be perceived as anger, but using a comma would make that sentence a comma splice.

I’m curious why you reckon it wouldn’t stand a chance. In Australia and New Zealand I’d expect it to be fairly straightforward (meaning fiddly in places but perfectly doable), so long as it isn’t too wide (it’s within half an inch of the US limit, by the sounds of it). I know one New Zealander making a fairly outrageously large, heavy and wide RV at present, and he knows all the details that will be required to get it road-legal (a family member has done something slightly less extreme before) and reckons it’ll be fine.

Yeah if I made plans with a group to go see a yet to be specified show and then got left out because they later decided on Hamilton, with no additional show planned for the full group, that is a sign about the friendship IMO. But it's completely different if the intent all along was to go see Hamilton. Everyone understands it is competitive to get tickets. If you waited to be able to go with your entire friend group you would never see the show.

It's also not necessarily even a "friend ranking" who does get picked when the goal is to see Hamilton. When choosing who to prioritize you're going to consider who would appreciate seeing Hamilton the most, who (of your close friends) it's been the longest since you did something with, who might have recently invited you to a similarly in-demand event, etc.

Lessons learned failing my first startup
The comp targets are not normally 700k+, it just has happened in the last several years because stocks have appreciated so much. A total comp target of 400-500 is much more common, base should be well over 200k/yr, though.
I posted the same snarky comment too. Seems the headline should be “You can’t download this exact image, but you can copy the presentation image via other means.”

More of a play on words for how copy and download often times mean the same thing even though technically they’re different.
Half way through I was already clicking "Reply" thinking "...is this guy for real?!", only to see the "Oh wait..."

The amount of social media content revolving around "how I became a milionaire/how I reached my first million" and the common factor is "I bought a house in 201*", then I'd say something is a bit off...

Either there's massive speculation, or 1 million isn't what it used to be, or worst: both.

> Regular email users who are not email experts can either trust all emails or delete most of them.

I do the latter.

Default practice these days should be do not respond to any phone call, text, email etc. if you don't recognize it, and if you have a non-personal relationship to what appears to be the sender, don't answer it unless it's a response to your initial communication.

Communications these days are mostly vans with candy and missing puppies. Based on my spam folder and incoming call records anyway.
All? Certainly not. More? Very probably.

Invest the earnings from a carbon tax in carbon-negative projects (such as renewable energy), and you've got a win-win situation.
I agree, personally I think it's a problem with Julia's initial "product" placement, which was probably a overfocus on the "technical computing" aspect.

Personally, the first version of python I used was 1.5.2 (in 1999). I learned it initially instead of the current 'scripting language' hegemon, which was perl. Since CGI was in extensive use at that time, this was the start of the python web backend ecosystem.

In the late 2000s, I was able to sneak in Python rewrites of MATLAB or Fortran code written by scientists, even in situations where Python was not officially sanctioned for that type of work (I was mainly a C++ developer, but would also write python bindings). I feel like it really was the strength of python's strength as a universal ducktape that caused the ecosystem growth of both the scientific _and_ web stacks.

Nowadays, I've really come to appreciate Julia from a novelty standpoint, and I'm intrigued at what it can do, especially in terms of probabilistic programming and other emerging fields, but in order to justify using Julia in more general 'professional programmer' settings, it needs to focus on what's made modern Python so successful. Otherwise, I could see it's fate as "merely" replacing a more niche language like MATLAB (which Python has /already/ managed to do for the most part).
That was really neat to watch. I started playing Tetris when it was first released and still play it on my Nintendo years later. My kids try but I can always beat their score and they think I am a master of the game. I can’t wait to show them this video. Very awesome to watch.
Given role titles, it sounds like you are at Google and interviewing at Microsoft. In my experience, Microsoft is more aggressive at pushing you into management. Google seems to have more opportunity and culture of people working in a purely technical capacity to at least L7. At Microsoft, it felt much more like 65 was the glass ceiling. On the flip side, it also felt like managers at Microsoft were more involved in the technical decisions.

This was my experience anyway. Others may have seen things differently.
I agree, I think I found my way to the prepper community through my homesteading/small farm journey. What I personally have found is that homesteading and farming can be very capital intensive to startup. Sure You can bootstrap any venture but I feel to enable the best chances of success does require cash flow and the more You put in at the start the sooner You can take profits.

EG: My first profitable venture on my homestead was laying hens, I built my own coop and converted an existing dilapidated green house into a run. The materials required to construct and convert cost me ~ $1500 and then the purchase of brooding equipment, waterers, feeders, and chicks ran me another $1000 or so. All in I would say it cost $3500 Dollars and 6 months before I saw my 1st egg and another two years before my hens were hatching out new chicks. I currently make around $100/month profit through farm gate egg sales at $5 a dozen and have a never ending supply of fresh eggs for myself...but that took almost 4 years from my initial investment plus the daily work of egg collection and watering. I am still looking at another two or three years before I break even not including labor, barring any unexpected expenses.

Don't even get me started with my Honeybee operation!!!

My point is yes self sufficient homesteading is my goal but without the investments I made into the markets, the money wouldn't have been available. In my case I was able to grow my "off farm" investments while drawing on their profits to finance my "on farm ventures" which required time to turn profitable. Unfortunately I think those times are over and it is time to reevaluate my holdings before I find myself draining their principal value to fund my living.
> free for the user

Overall it's not free, the receiving party will still pay the fee (so, probably not that different from Debit/Credit Cards for merchants), and shops might increase the price preemptively to account for that.

See this drama for more: https://www.twint.ch/en/press/digitec-galaxus-spreading-fals...

PS: However, it's probably free for user2user payments, using phone no as identifiers. And it's useful to settle lunch debts among friends. I guess they (banks) want users to install twint apps for that, make it then easy to pay at businesses.
Oh interesting, that sounds very plausible to me. It's notable though that even the NPCs (characters not being controlled by the user) seem to suffer from the unrealism. Maybe it's important for visual consistency that the same rules be used for characters regardless of whether they are under user control.

I find the "cave flyer" game SFCave to be very engaging for its simplicity. ( https://www.google.com/search?q=sfcave&sxsrf=AOaemvJ8OME1iEW... ) In it, you control acceleration, not velocity. Slow responsiveness is basically a defining characteristic. I wonder if it would be possible to mimic that feel inside a football game (on a shorter timescale). Maybe it would be too much of a distraction from the game's main draw.

The controller input necessary for generating blue sparks in Mario Cart also requires some "planning ahead".
Definitely you can use SST to modify the translated POWER machine code. Here is an article giving an example of why you might want to do it, and how to do it: https://www.mcpressonline.com/programming/rpg/change-the-las...

Of course unprivileged users can’t do this. But if you have privilege to access SST (which means you basically have the equivalent of root in Unix) you can do absolutely anything if you know how.

Certainly it isn't a issue after they cats no longer live there and it's been cleaned to a reasonable standard. If it knocks 20 grand off the price of the house it's worth spending 2k to have everything deep cleaned.
Going on well over 10 years now with my pain... spinal stenosis and degenerative disc disease. I had an L4-S1 laminectomy and it only helped for 1 year. I've tried all the other stuff you mention as well like cortisone shots, branch blocks, physical therapy, chiropractic, acupuncture etc. and practically nothing helps, even tried basically all of the currently available CBD and THC variants... only thing that always works is really hard narcotics like oxy that I don't want to take for obvious reasons. I can walk on my own for maybe 10 minutes max before I just can't take the pain anymore.
You can always put some binaries in $HOME/bin.
I've gotten through something like that.

The solution should be to rebuild your body, using strengthened core to support yourself after. The rebuild starts with autophagy, which is achieved by fasting.

To get into 3 days every three weeks (which is what you'll need to clean up old tissue, to have place for new tissue) you'll want intermittent fasting. IF will normalize your perception of hunger.

After a couple of months of eating only after 14:00 and before 16:00 you'll be ready to go into a three-four day water fast. You stretch when you fast, and you exercise every other day in the week coming off of a fast.

In four months from your first three day water fast you'll know you want to keep it up. I did.

Don't go beyond four days of fasting, no matter how good you feel after day two. The idea is to give your body direction, not to force it into a condition. Don't overdo it.

Cheers!

Why don't they just sell in Euro/USD? That's what people did a few decades ago a bit further north, when the local currency wasn't trusted (even if it was rather stable).

You could get it road leagal in most states here. It stands out though. Cops in the USA have become Revenue Collectors in many parts of the country. Breaking down is not your worry. A $240 parking ticket, or a $500 overnight oversized RV ticket is crushing.

(I think RV's will be home to many lucky/skilled Americans. The homes close to jobs cost to much. I would like to see most available federal/state/local land set aside for free camping.)
I know negative comments are frowned upon here, but I can't help pointing out that there is no language to talk about yet.

I wish him luck and will be curious to see what may come from this, but the results are probably years from now.
No, because ACH only work works with deposit accounts but credit cards are a different type of account.
Was there not, at some point, a disagreement among the emacs developers about how this conference was being managed?

As an aside, emacs has so much potential, I'm so glad the community continues to thrive. I use emacs exclusively for science data analysis and consistently impress my colleagues with how quickly things can be accomplished. If rough edges were polished in some of the python corners there could easily be an emacs renaissance in academia, a la nicolas rougier et al.

For just how popular python is in science now, the workflows are abysmal at best. 2 out of 3 of my colleagues won't touch it because Anaconda makes no sense, a command line work flow is too obtuse, and Matlab for all its disgusting nature is at least "natural" to work with as an environment in some sense. Which makes me sad. I have dreams that emacs makes that more approachable.
Hmmm... Some firm has people register their credit card number as a key to their ACH number in a database?

I too, just want to build things—too many legos as a child (and adult), I guess. I work at a smaller company where the software side is pretty small (5-ish), so I enjoy a huge amount of autonomy.

Having interviewed around a little, I find a lot of places that have a hole, and they’re just looking for a peg to fill it.

I already filled the hole at my current company, and wpuld be leaving a much larger holder if I were to leave.

My problem is that I’m somewhat anxious financially; a number of people depend on me for the salary and benefits I bring home. So while many people tell me I would be a strong consultant type, the insecurity frightens me. I’m good at at inventiveness, initiative, entrepreneurial behavior _when_ it’s under the umbrella of someone else’s money and I feel secure.

I’ve graduated to tech lead, semi manager, three times, and never really liked that. I just end up frustrated with those that I’m responsible for. I work better in a “we’re all dribbling the same ball” context.
Real estate is one of the few markets where non-experts can make money, where it’s not a hyper-liquid winner-take-all game. Coupled with this is the fact that housing is a necessity and owning a home leads people to invest in their communities more than if they were renting, I think it’s a good thing if Zillow (and OpenDoor, etc.) fail at pushing everyday people out of the business of real estate investing. Here’s hoping we see some regulation—the illiquidity of the home buying market is not a problem that needs to be solved.

> We are not good at accepting criticism, especially valid and accurate criticism. We feel humiliation very, oftentimes unreasonably, strongly.

I'm not sure why you are using plural, as autism manifests in various different forms and traits are not universal. I know a few people on the spectrum, who are pretty good with criticism and does not feel humiliation the way, you described it. So please don't do it as autism is spectrum and people on the spectrum can be very different. Using plural form leads to stereotyping and however it seems society would prefer to put "aspies" in a box, most of the people sticking out from the box left and right. (My favourite example is one of my excollegue, who is an extrovert aspie)

"A pure function is a function in the mathematical sense; the result of its operation depends only on the input data. Evaluation of such a function involves nothing beyond the essential – variable values do not change, nothing is read or printed, no DB entries are made, and no requests to external services are issued."

In other words, it's useless?
Some change must happen, there can not be a result if nothing changes. We can say that a result of a pure function is always a new value.

Without extremely complicated performance optimizations, writing such code is very inefficient.

Besides, instead of trying to find a way around the limitations of current architectures (poor parallelism), we should fix the architectures.

This is a few days out of date now. Sales have already resumed with prices adjusted accordingly.
Consumers bought too much stuff, like toilet papers, during the scare, creating a temporary shortage that forced the retailers to increase the production orders. Now the new goods are piling up while consumers are working through their stash. The piled up goods take up the shelf/warehouse/port space such that other goods are on shortage in arrival. This creates another shortage scare. A vicious cycle.
