He wrote elsewhere that he contacted them but they shrugged it off, or something like that..
Honestly this was the only inconvenience that got me to purchase a "smart" device. I got cheap rebranded smart bulbs that are always-online, but at least they don't have microphones and can be controlled through an app.
I know this is irrelevant, but these are my two pennies. Apart from strong password and 2FA, I have restricted login only from my country. So can't login from other country, unless hacker knows which country I have set and uses that VPN. Also I have blocked login from Tor.
Lots of hospitality businesses charge before the stay, like travel agencies. A company may need to reserve flights, book rooms and possibly set up tours and events, and all that stuff costs money upfront. If you don't have a lot of buffer (say, because Stripe is reserving half your funds) then you'll need to cover the costs in some other way.

If you only book a hotel then you'll probably get the option to pay upfront or settle afterwards, but if you buy an entire package deal from a third party comaonty then you usually get asked for some or all money upfront. These packages are often more expensive than going through the effort of finding a good deal yourself, or they're cheaper and rely on a lot of deals not falling through.

I wouldn't trust my customers to show up without at least a reservation on their account, especially now with new covid waves and potential anti covid measures threatening holiday fun.
No, this is called merchant tokenisation (the token only works with that specific processor and that merchant) so you generally can't transfer over pre-auths unless you actually hold the auth code and card details yourself.
While it's annoying, the reason communities activate this is to reduce spam/bot accounts.

It's a big problem on Discord and requiring a phone number linked to the account helps quite a bit :(
Nice one and easy to apply, thanks! Just added it to my .bashrc
Booking.com, expedia etc. have options to pay in advance. They'll refund you later if you cancel. Some listings seem to have this as the only option? I didn't look recently.
Maybe you could share the list of extensions you use, unless you consider it too private?

I haven't gotten any email like this myself and in my organization with 20 LP users no one else has as well it seems. I am using uBlock Origin and LastPass only.
I've only encountered it with banking apps, so perhaps you were right.
There is a similar space in Nice: https://www.canafe.fr

But it could be kind of expensive if you're an entry level developer at Paris or Nice salaries.
> It also, by the looks of things, does not provide a way to say you want wrapping if that's what you did intend

This would be something for C/C++ to add, which they (for reasons unknown to me) failed to make progress on. I applaud Rust for having them; they're table stakes at this point.

> Since we're on the topic of sanitizers. These are great for AoC where I always run my real input under Debug anyway, but not much use in real systems where of course the edge case will inevitably happen in the uninstrumented production system and not in your unit tests...

Right, they are not perfect. They're a bandaid; a valiant effort but even then not a particularly great bandaid. As I've described elsewhere, I don't actually think this situation is going to get any better :(
> By choosing Discord, you also lock out users with accessibility needs, for whom the proprietary Discord client is often a nightmare to use.

The author takes it for granted that accessibility issues are more prevalent in proprietary software like Discord (vs FOSS alternatives), is there any evidence to back this up? I ask because it seems counter-intuitive. Since most proprietary software in this space tend to have more users than their FOSS counterparts, it seems pretty straightforward to think that accessibility will be less of an issue in the former category (i.e., more users = taking into account and addressing more accessibility needs vs when you only have a few thousand users).

Maybe the logic is being open source encourages volunteers to address accessibility issues and submit patches? Although even that's debatable; unless the project is quite popular, there will always be shortage of volunteers.
Mostly the GUI, which is reminiscent of Netflix, and also the torrent client config. You hit play button on a video poster image, client sequentially downloads blocks of videos until the buffer outruns the download rate (this is the main difference from other clients which can’t/don’t download blocks sequentially), then it autoplays, pausing for more buffering if needed, with one click.
Do you not get to negotiate different terms after X revenue and Y years of customership? The fact that they can end the contract on their side with only a 48h notification period is honestly baffling. I'd expect better terms.
The difference is not having a phone basically writes you off from the world. It's why you see homeless people with phones: they need it to survive.

Of course that's just an evolution of the same problem, but it's where we are right now.
One could draw a comparison between the US and the East India Company, in that they invade countries, overthrow governments and fuels civil wars in the Middle East and Africa (partly) in order to enforce US dollars as the de facto medium currency of international oil trade, and the subsequent funneling of oil profits into western financial assets and companies.
Wish the Scala community had read this. They literally just switched to discord and it’s just another facepalm in a long line of daft moves.
Whoa. Does Authorize.net ever do anything like this? This gives me heebie-jeebies…
It looks like the value returned by std.mem.zeroes will end up being a compile-time constant, but I'm only like 90% on this.
The same thing was said decades ago when the first "4th Generation Development" platforms arose. The concept even predates the GUI era: "Application Development without Programmers" was published in 1981/82-ish.

Were we still coding in the late 80s? The 90s? The 00s? The 10s? The 20s?

Yes we were.

And we will still be coding when the next cycle of "low/nocode" platforms will be announced, and probably several such cycles after that one.

And the reason is simple: Complexity can be hidden and/or displaced. But it cannot be eliminated, unless the system itself becomes less complex.
I lucked out on this part because my mother has a PhD in child psychology and she said it was not unusual. She checked the kids for autism and such, didn't find any of the other symptoms.

> the right to set up useful bots

Discord allows bots. They probably can't do _everything_, but there are useful bots and even bridges for IRC (and probably others).
Based on your existing troubles with them, they've probably already got your account flagged as "problematic" in some way.

If I were to design an anti fraud system, I'd make sure that the more problems I have with an account, the swifter I can react to changes. The payment processor may be more liable to cover damages if they already had a hunch that the company they were dealing with was bad when fraud took place.

Sounds to me like they just wanted you out and found a reason to get rid of you.
One should always think of a C as high level Assembler. Not less, not more. Everything else (parallel programming, threading, ...), are "higher" level paradigms, where C "robustness" is more of an obstruction, not a help.

Imo, from hw designers perspective C is a language as "high" as it goes, when for a software engineers it's often "as low as it goes".
>Remove competition among manufacturers because nobody can legally build and sell a compatible player without the key's owner permission.

And what are media producers gaining from less competition among manufacturers?

>Remove competition among distributors because media producers can refuse giving permission to distribute their media without agreeing to whatever terms they impose.

They don't need DRM for that, copyright is enough. Those who want to distribute legally do follow the terms with or without DRM. Those who don't do distribute illegally with or without DRM.

>Remove competition among media distributors by creating silos of content where you can't find one or another title. Today, if you want to have reasonable access to media, you'll have to sign more than one stream service; compare this to how you could go to a rental store 15 years ago and choose media from many different producers.

15 years ago DRM was already a thing (albeit badly implemented) and it's really not DRM that killed rental stores. The internet did. Exclusive contracts is what's killing competition among media distributors.

Thank you ! I loved this game, sensations are exactly the same.
There's also l'Anticafé.
Sure you can. Stripe explicitly support this:

https://stripe.com/docs/security/data-migrations/exports

However, the card details don't go to you. They'll transfer the card details to another PCI compliant payment processor.
> my definition of an asshole is one who's mean, uncaring, and arrogant

By that definition, I've worked with three clear matches and four pretty good runner-ups over the past 20 years. The absolute worst one was not a dev, but a PM.

For obvious reasons I'm not stating even the time frames when I crossed paths with such characters.
This is an elaborate SEO ploy for contributors and later sponsors. The variety of popular books casts a wider SEO net.
It's about 1-1/e (63%) as there's always 1 edge with problem, and always 1/E probability that it is revealed in on average E rounds. (1-1/E)^E -> 1/e
One very simple point is: Forbidding third-party clients puts you at the mercy of the main developers caring about accessibility, a small-but-caring group of outsiders can't fix it. Whereas if you have an ecosystem of clients in an open system, a) users have a choice of options and can pick the one that suits their workflows best and b) don't have to rely on the main devs to care to be able to tweak one for their needs.

EDIT: this also supports the "bridge everything to IRC/Matrix/..." approach, since it lets people use whatever setup they already have working for their specific needs. And if Discord kills our bridge one day because "evil bot", well, rest of the group still works. And if something new and shiny comes up, sure, bridge it.
There are already processors that are highly parallel, high throughput execution. GPUs as you point out. The reason they haven't replaced CPUs is not laziness, it's that many problems are not trivially parallel. Today's mix of CPUs that are fast at serial execution plus multiple cores, SIMD, and GPUs seems to give a good mix of flexibility to program for.
Everything about this sounds Phishy to me. Unless You are We-Travel there is something wrong with your supposed numbers and I doubt a company that is listed as a premier flagship customer of stripe would be getting the boot before they took down their promotional material regarding We=Travel.

Are You sure your not just dreaming/sleep walking right now?

Just to put things in a bit more perspective You claim that You gross between 60 and 100 million per year in sales. Anyone can do a google search of the top global travel companies based on sales and unless You are in the top 100 those numbers don't jive. Any top 100 in the world company would have their lawyers all over this, even over the Christmas to New years dearth.
Yep these are anti cafe models (HUBSY is one) you can find them on google maps. On my side I find paris too expensive I moved to Estonia where any normal cafe is cool to hang out at or co working are at a descent price too (aorund 250$ a month) including free coffee (Palo Alto labs is one)
I love that comment. This is how support is handled these days.

If you want to know whether a famous Windows audio app works on Surface X (ARM), just ask them on Twitter because the web site sucks and mails aren't replied.
If you have an issue with your groceries, just call them out on Twitter because in the store they don't care.

Fine.
A question on credit card fraud. Almost all the payments I make online require some form of 2FA from the bank. Doesn’t that cut fraud to zero?
I very much enjoy Richard David Precht for a nice summary of philosophy with ancient and modern context.
The ability to make very long superconductors relatively cheaply (i.e. kilometers).

The ability to make very strong (20T) magnets.
It's not some inherent price. It's just an arbitrarily imposed one.

Older products, even early digital ones from 70s and 80s, were more flexible for the end user (and often came with manuals and schematics) even in their consumer version.
Could the same argument not be used for Phone line or Cables? At least have an extra pipe for the the fibre to be pulled would be sufficient. Unless it is rural area, I dont see how it cost $10K to install Fibre in cities. Is this an US specific thing?
2. a way to automatically roll passwords periodically

Ironically, that’s what LastPass can do for many important sites. Technical details: it opens a site, clicks around its menus and does that for you, and you see all of this automation on your screen. Imagine how many non-2FA users are now experiencing automated password resets on their most valuable accounts.

I’m all for 1, as I take my physical keys with me everywhere, but random ISB solutions out there I don’t really trust any more than e.g. lastpass.
Thanks for linking this, will come in handy.
Before pandemic I started working remotely and soon noticed that, like OP, working alone doesn't suit me.

I solved this by joining a co-working hub that offers offices to remote workers / entrepreneurs. My employer pays for the hub membership.

I drive to our offices around once a month, but rest of the time I sit in a room with an accountant and gym owner. They are fun to chat and go to lunch with but they don't interrupt me with work related things.

As a bonus I get to meet and hang with professionals in many different areas and I find that really satisfying.

If I change company I work for, I just get the new employer to pay for the office. If I need to move, I prefer cities that have this kind of co-working place.

This is quite doable, here in Finland at least and while it has some downsides, it has worked for me!
You said ”almost all”.
Gifski app has a nice UI and is free

Not very helpful right now, but when your short term issue is resolved you should look into integrating with a payment orchestration layer so that you could easily switch payment processors without having to reintegrate.
This is awesome. Brings back so many memories as a kid. Thank you. This is built with phaser. I am not very good at this game but if you need to recover life mid game, you can use this.

Is this open source?
Lastpass MFA is not at all like Google Authenticator. The codes in Lastpass Authenticator are optional and can be bypassed. It's not secure at all.
> Its more likely that they just want the number for Multi-factor authentication.

You can do that with an app or an U2F key. You don't need a phone number for that and, in fact, SMS-based 2FA is mostly discouraged by now due to sim swapping attacks.

So it boils down to avoiding sock puppets (most likely IMO) and to collect your data (which is something nice to get on top).
How does Slack compare?

The only couple of FOSS projects I know using either app, are only using slack. They are both American and open source rather than European libre projects if that is a characteristic?

For me, the lack of history and good search in Slack unless you have a paid account is hostile.
I used Keepass + Dropbox (to sync database). This set up was suggested to me when I joined a company that requires complex unique passwords for all sign ups. At the time I didn't think too much about it, but this thread has made me thankful I was guided in this direction.

I don't have experience of any other password management software, so I certainly can't compare and contrast. But I will say Keepass + Dropbox has worked flawlessly for me across desktop, laptop and mobile. The biggest inconvenience I have had is things like manually typing in a Netflix password into a Smart TV when on holiday (just takes time with long passwords with capitals, lowercase, numbers and symbols).
Thinking aloud here, it does seem like (as we've always known), anyone doing eCommerce online is effectively beholden to their payment provider.

Given Stripe is pretty popular, it feels like for many it is becoming the "S3" of payments in terms of an API. Would it be viable for others to implement the same API on the basis of compatibility, portability and interoperability?

In the past, I recall dealing with systems where you'd have multiple backend processors for major external functions, and you'd load balance which provider was used. Some might have more favourable pricing, and be a preferred partner, while others might be potential future preferred partners being tried out (see how many failures you get from them, compared with the current preferred partner).

It seems that, if this was possible to implement (card tokenization obviously being an issue here), you could have multiple independent backend providers implementing the Stripe API as a provider, and you load balance across them.

Just like how you could use another S3 API provider for storage if one is giving you hassle, or not offering satisfactory performance or support. Sure, you have migration work to do, but having the same API and underlying properties should speed things up and let you get new transactions onto the new storage ASAP.

ACME is like this for SSL - there's now multiple CAs implementing the one API. Could we get there for payments too?
I’m wondering what would happen to passenger aircraft in the future? since we gonna run out of fuel one day, are we gonna have passenger aircraft powered by electricity? is it even possible? if so are there any safety concerns?
Same goes for twitch. Found this cozy stream and followed. Was called out, wished a merry christmas.

It's possible to implement high-level abstraction in machine code, or compile a high-level language into low level machine code, however it's not possible to hide low-level, machine dependent details in a low level language. It's not possible to hide machine opcodes in machine code, or CPU registers in assembler, or stack in Forth, so a developer must learn these things and deal with them, which makes the development process slower.

So, it's expected to see an order of magnitude improvement in development speed, on average, when jumping from machine code to asm, or from asm to a 3rd level language. Forth doesn't improve speed of development by an order of magnitude comparing to asm, because of the steep learning curve and low level stack management. I tried to learn Forth multiple times, but still cannot program in Forth freely, which makes it unique among 20+ other programming languages I know.
Yes. And the frustrating thing is that they are moving away from an FOSS solution.

That's a fascinating link, but my materialistic understanding is that the brain is an analogue signal processor, and tries to pattern match incoming signals to known experiences. In this case the input activates the "there is someone with me" signal. Doesn't mean there is.

The brain is not a digital CPU, where every behaviour is a result of specific purpose-made circuitry. There is no "God detector" system in the brain.

You can never know for certain if your passwords are still stored somewhere or not, but I wouldn't worry about a billing email arriving after your account was deleted.

Many companies will retain billing/transactional data even if you delete your account. They might do this for regulatory compliance (eg.in Austria I need to store invoices for 7 years in case the Finanzamt wants to do an audit) or they might just do it as a protection against fraud or credit card chargebacks.

I would assume that "deleting an account" just means "delete your data" (ie. passwords and most personal data) and does not mean "delete all information related to me as if I had never done business with you".
The game's controls feel exactly as frustratingly washy as I remember them. Amazing.

Poor countries are forced to take loans with usury rates, often from the likes of the IMF. Countries that refuse get propaganda, coups and invasions. It’s not just the US that does this.
