There's pros and cons to every living situation. The frustration you're experiencing is entirely of your own creation. I'm glad the post office has not spent time optimizing their program on the edgiest of edge cases here, like your housing decision to live in a house with no mailbox. Maybe they eventually get around to it, but in no way should they have waited to roll this out to address your use case.
Having assets and precious metals, though cliche, wouldn't be bad to have either since they'll at least be worth something even if the USD lost all value.

Rust has affine types, and uses them extensively: types that own memory, as opposed to borrowing it, are generally affine.

In principle you could implement a form of borrow check with linear types (I don’t think affine is good enough), but the ergonomics would be horrible.
My understanding as someone who works with embedded RF, is that if you use a SoC that is already FCC certified you don’t need additional certification, as long as you don’t do anything stupid like modifying chip registers that effect signal strength. This is a reason espressif chipsets are very popular in consumer electronics that require RF.

I’m not sure this is true. John Brant and Don Roberts did the some of the original refactoring work in Smalltalk under Ralph Johnson at UUIC.

I remember sitting with them at OOPSLA and discussing just this at length. Java was in full momentum ascendancy. Eclipse was the new will-solve-everyones-problems IDE. There was a LOT of interest in doing for typed Java in Eclipse what John and Don had both done in Smalltalk during their advanced degrees. They too thought typing would make it easier.

And what they shared with me is that it actually made it harder. Type systems are complicated to model. It gets combinatorial complex to model transformations across all the edge cases.

It may be argued that this was/is more a statement about the Java type system in particular, which is not generally extolled anyway.

But the basic take away was that refactoring becomes easier and easier as the language syntax and model gets simpler. A more complicated language like Ruby, without types, was also harder.

Or put another way… refactoring engines work with AST models. The more complicated your AST, the harder refactoring gets. I think type systems generally add, rather than remove, complexity from language models.

But perhaps there is a way to make it so. Just sharing some thoughts of yore from some guys that spent a lot of time studying refactoring.
Sure but it's a pretty arbitrary cutoff. Many other significant limits on smoking (workplace bans, indoor bans, airlines, etc) and various limits on tobacco advertising happened both earlier and later. Some big tobacco lawsuits happened later. Just about any doctor in the 70s, 80s or 90s would have told you smoking is bad for you, public perception and knowledge of the dangers changed over time, etc, etc, etc. The whole thing doesn't really fit in a neatly bracketed time period in a meaningful way.
How Often You Take Break
Hello Nerds, computer professionals.. Do you always sit and work for long hours? what are some of the hacks to avoid back pain
Much of the coverage i see of "Russia" in the west completely misses the following points that super crucial to the political debate:

1. NATO is a military coalition that sits outside the regular National framework of war making.

2. NATO agreements are fair or ridiculous depending on the outcome one expects. If a member is attacked, that is a declaration of war on ALL members. Consider a rogue state/leader member picking war with a nuclear power and escalating to the point of no return. What then?

3. The objectives that NATO seem to want have become largely aggressive extensions of one political sides policies rather than what is right for "keeping the peace in Europe" or the world.

If you disagree with the statements above, i'd ask you to consider that China and her allies, Iran, Turkey, North Korea and Pakistan suddenly moved Radar equipment and denial of airspace missile batteries to Mexico, Canada and Cuba tomorrow. What would the United States consider such an act to be? Defensive?

For all the dick waving that Putin has done, the threat of war with severe consequences has been initiated by and continues to be advertised as the only choice by the unelected bureaucrats at NATO.

We are all supposed to sit here and watch while these morons pick a fight on the behalf of the world and then give us no choice but to send our kids off to die in another pointless battle?

Off-the-Record Messaging uses deniable authentication to fix this problem. Instead of proving that a message could only have come from the real sender, it proves that it must have come from either the sender or the recipient.

Six top-level folders in a Git repo with the same name
https://github.com/vietjtnguyen/whitespace-folder-names

https://gitlab.com/vietjtnguyen/whitespace-folder-names

I was surprised when someone pushed commits to an internal repo showing folders with the same name. Leading and trailing whitespace is allowed for a folder name and git respects this. Github and GitLab will both render the full folder name in the DOM but don't escape it with `&nbsp;` or use the `white-space: pre` [1] CSS property (TIL) which leads to whitespace collapse. Interestingly the tooltip on Github shows the full name but not on GitLab.

To me it's another example of how difficult it is to anticipate the full space of user input.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nslookup

In particular, note the following quote: “Unlike dig, nslookup does not use the operating system's local Domain Name System resolver library to perform its queries, and thus may behave differently. Additionally, vendor-provided versions may include output of other sources of name information, such as host files, and Network Information Service. Some behaviors of nslookup may be modified by the contents of resolv.conf.[2]”

Note that this is calorie counting (i.e. just tracking calories consumed), not calorie restriction (trying to consume fewer calories). The study population was mostly normal weight (average BMI of 23.1).

You can read the full study here: https://sci-hub.se/uptodate/S2212267221007346.pdf

edit: Also: an interesting fact. 1 member of the (100-person) intervention group dropped out of the study because the app "made them feel bad" (p. 3) and was thus excluded from the results. One wonders if that would happen in a larger sample size--if 1% of people have to drop out because calorie counting affects their mood so badly, that'd be an important result.

Dry up? I don't think so. You'd see a change in the level of risk aversion (so doing more deals in companies that have been de-risked more) and probably quite a lot of consolidation where the massive increase in the sheer number of small & mid-tier players would contract significantly. In terms of timeline? No idea. Hopefully sometime after we need to raise our next round of financing. ;-)

Is it not better to debug one microservice than the whole monolith? Easy to run locally, easy to reproduce errors, etc. (My last two weeks was working in such an environment hunting a production bug. Debugging it was a pleasure. Clear interfaces, etc. Of course when a small feature requires changing 3-4 microservices the pleasure is definitely less :D)

It's much easier to test them in separation also. Deployments are low risk, not much need for coordination with other teams, etc.

There are components that have a heavier load, so we run more of those. Not really a big difference compared to simply running a few more monoliths and configuring them to only handle certain requests... but that's already a given here.

I don't have strong opinions either way. Teams/companies should do what works for them, and they should spend some time on improving it so they can be more effective. (Because most people/teams/companies have a "good enough" complacency inertia/bias.) And most solutions work in both setups. (Eg. making builds fast requires a divide and conquer strategy anyway. Do you build modules/packages separately and link them in the end? Do you build containers separately? Same thing. Do whatever works.)
Tally: A Cryptocurrency Using Private Blockchains
You and the article are both right. Chemical engineering does rely on that knowledge, but plenty of it is done via experimentation. Process controls are largely developed through a lot of experimentation and data collection to understand how a process responds to various inputs.

There was a great comment elsewhere about how engineering is about dealing with the unknowns and noise of the real world, which is why engineering requires empirical evidence to further refine or create those models. Engineers may use models to calculate estimates but it all needs to be backed up by data.

Well they might claim to add e2e encryption. But it won’t be true e2e. Will be fake like WhatsApp. They will still read the messages for advertising.

Easy to look back and make fun of those commercials [0]. It's more sad than anything else if someone does that since they'd be applying their current knowledge of harms of tobacco to people who didn't have said knowledge. This is a cognitive bias called the Curse of knowledge [1]. I see so much of this happening not just on Youtube comments, but even here on HN, it's almost disturbing.

The fair thing to wonder about is what things are we doing today that will seem ridiculous and obviously harmful to people in 100 years from now. Staring at a bright flat screen hours a day just to interact with a random stranger who vehemently disagrees with you about petty subjects?

> Does 1Password asking for 3 dollars make every other app on your computer suddenly need 3 dollars a month?

By your logic there’s nothing wrong with any other app asking for their own monthly toll when you feel that 1Password is justified in doing so.

> Like if every paid subscription you had was 3 dollars how would your bills look?

But 1Password never needed to be a subscription in the first place. I am still able to use 1Password6 to this day without any updates for the past 3 years. That’s $108 for software that I paid $30 originally.

> People are allergic to upfront payment. People just might not have the funds to pay a fair price all at once.

If they were truly worried about losing customers unwilling to pay upfront they’d offer both options. By forcing everyone to go subscription they see that they could have milked me for an additional $78+ without doing any work at all.

> I bet you one-time payment users ended up being some of their most expensive users since they had to manage disparate sync schemes. Now at least subscription users can subsides that cost a bit…

I don’t see why I should feel inclined to pay more to support some edge case users. I didn’t bemoan 1Password when they didn’t provide an update after Safari changed their API. I continued using the software in Firefox and Chrome.

Am I considered an “expensive user” simply because I’m unwilling to pay their toll? I haven’t gotten any support from them for the past 3 years.

We live in a capitalistic world and 1Password is free to go with whatever pricing model works for them to maximize their revenues. Likewise, I am free to warn people the poor value that they’re receiving with the current subscription model. I don’t have to aspire to be a reoccurring revenue stream to boost their $6.8B valuation…

A better option would be the ability to "cure" people of addiction --we can't. It's hard work for most people and we don't have magic cure pills.

I am for criminalizing the sale of hard drugs, but not the consumption. Criminalizing consumption is lose-lose. Recreational drugs like Alcohol and MJ and others, as long as they are regulated and not highly addictive for the majority of the population, I don't think we'd benefit from criminalizing (see Prohibition and War on Drugs results). We would benefit more from programs to treat addition as ineffectual as they are.

I agree. I suppose that’s a positive side effect of conducting business so openly. You’ll feel extra responsibility to set policies that are sensible not only internally but also to the general public.

Your worldview seems to be from the 1970’s. I do not mean that as an insult; you’re just wildly out of date in terms of understanding modern geopolitics.

The US military today is a bloated, inefficient force sucking up resources that would be better spent elsewhere. They’re funding blimps to watch drug smugglers at the US border, for Christ’s sake.

The populace of the US will not stand for additional military adventurism on the scale of Vietnam or Iraq. Trump started the process of withdrawing from Afghanistan and was lucky that Biden got stuck with the mess Trump made of it. It was forecast to be a broadly popular move and would have been had execution been slightly better handled.
I cannot believe nobody has mentioned 5D optical data storage. Much denser, designed to last 10 centuries.

You can watch in the browser on any device but they don't make it easy. I had to set up an account then separately connect that to my iTunes account. There may have been something else - I can't remember. It felt very cumbersome, but I'm sure would be buttery if you were inside the garden.

I binged a few decent shows then cancelled before my 1 week trial was up. It's cheaper than most but has very little content (and the worst "search" function you've ever seen - maybe these are related).
Under what theory of international relations is it legitimate for one country to invade another because they’re upset that other countries bordering it made treaty agreements with another power?
Especially when it violates a treaty you signed promising that if the country you invaded disarms itself that you would protect it.

Denmark is tiny and flat and mechanized German troops could and did take meaningful control of the country in a matter of hours.

Norway is really mostly tiny towns dotted along a coast of impassable mountains. So taking control of the whole country isn't really required, but any transport has to happen by sea. (and the British successfully attacked nazi ships in the North Sea)

...which is why the nazis desperately needed Sweden and it's rail to transport troops and resources. But that rail is laid out over the full length of Sweden, a vast, vast area, that the nazis could never hope to meaningfully and safely control. The rail would have been easy to attack or disrupt even without a huge army of conventional troops and the Swedes could have done that, but they didn't.

Funny thing is our elders and forebears knew this but it is completely lost on the most people these days.

All my logic requires is that UPRR, instead of laying off their security patrol in the same quarter they paid a record-high shareholder dividend, simply maintains their patrol levels.
