This resonates with the KLF's "The Manual: How To Have A Number 1 The Easy Way" [1]:
"Firstly, you must be skint and on the dole. Anybody with a proper job or tied up with full time education will not have the time to devote to see it through... Being on the dole gives you a clearer perspective on how much of society is run... having no money sharpens the wits. Forces you never to make the wrong decision. There is no safety net to catch you when you fall."

Personally though, I wouldn't and couldn't take a stance.

That right there is the best way to go. Everything in the open, everything can be self-hosted, but you can pay for the convenience of someone else doing it.
> Giving a bribe should be decriminalised

Intuitively I agree with that. It's the position of power, it's the public position and it gives power to assess to the public.
Not sure if this is a “recommendation”, but it’s a data point: I used M1 Finance it lets you create “pies” of various mixes of mutual funds (from Vanguard, Schwab, others) and has a great app.

There is a flip side to this... We are refining other peoples heavy sour oil, which in turn means many other countries won't have much capacity for such refining.

It gives us leverage - if we choose to, we can stop refining heavy sour and stop exporting light sweet, leaving other countries with shortages of refined products, while we still have plenty.
I believe what really matters in cases like this is that wood doesn't degrade underwater, and that there is very little movement of water at the spot.

Only if you believe in propaganda instead of looking at the facts. Can you tell me what offensive actions against Taiwan China has actually made?
China is still considered a developing country and that is pretty much true for a vast amount of Chinese people. There are some exceptions already, but there is merit to the classification.
Waiting for someone to build something like this for founders of any promising startup out there (and not just YC startups). I totally understand the current choice of sticking to YC startups though. But do you imagine accepting non-YC startups sometime in the future?

I am a first-time founder of a deep-tech, and having secured pre-seed 6 months ago, and now that I have gathered all the evidence for the viability, I would definitely consider approaching something like 8vdX.
My initial take was the same as yours. However, I would be of the opinion that the program would definitely be better if it returned non-zero on failure, so the question for me is whether it rises to the level of "bug" or not. In retrospect I can't think of when I wouldn't consider a program silently failing to not be a bug (unless specifically designed to silently fail), so I've come round to agreement with the article.

> The government cannot deficit spend for free. The cost is inflation

Although perhaps you mean by the second portion ", and guess who pays - you and me." that it's not always inflation and can show up in other ways [I don't mean this in a snarky fashion, this is perhaps what you meant?]?
A clever solution, nice work. That said, I'm very curious about your long term view on this model as a differentiator. My understanding is that Wise fees are essentially a pass through to customers, so your differentiator is that you've chosen "slow and cheap" over "fast but costly"... but if you validate that there's a market for "slow and cheap" alongside "fast but costly" won't Wise (and others) introduce the "slow and cheap" option because you'll threaten their place in the market as you also offer "fast but costly"? The profitability of Wise is not predicated on "fast but costly".

I am not a fan of "...but what if you're copied..." argument against the viability of a business, because often the easy-to-copy outward expression of a business is only possible because of difficult-to-copy underlying business strategies. However, in this case, Wise do share the same underlying business strategies as Atlantic (that is, transact efficiently and take a small fee) so the only differentiator (as far as I know) is the product decision to offer cheap + slow (and therefore be able to transact even more efficiently).

There's lots of room for different players in the space and so "there's room for us alongside Wise" is a very valid answer, I am guessing there's a different answer though, so I'd love to understand what you imagine the future to be: maybe you have some insight into why, actually, there are operational complexities that mean Wise aren't going to ever offer this service in the same way.

Thanks!

I have played around with elementary OS for a bit, and even though it was "coding like at work", it was really refreshing to see how much elementary's tiny team has already achieved. At the MegaCorp day job, every new button requires a meeting marathon only to fail in unforeseen ways.

I couldn't see GNU Hello mentioned in the article or comments so far. I wonder how it fares bug-wise.

The GNU Hello program produces a familiar, friendly greeting. Yes, this is another implementation of the classic program that prints “Hello, world!” when you run it.

However, unlike the minimal version often seen, GNU Hello processes its argument list to modify its behavior, supports greetings in many languages, and so on. The primary purpose of GNU Hello is to demonstrate how to write other programs that do these things; it serves as a model for GNU coding standards and GNU maintainer practices.

There was WW1 and WW2, there was cold war 1, and there will be cold war 2.

I would also guess that Chinese authorities could easily "trigger" the DOJ to punish a Chinese national. Once paranoia sets in, it benefits China too.

It looks like this is for people transferring money from the UK to other countries. But you are not using a .co.uk domain and it doesn't say so on the first page of your website. I have to guess that you only to transfers from the UK from the £3 price tag.
You're a web dev, maybe look into electron (https://www.electronjs.org/)? It powers apps like Slack, VS Code, etc.

I'm sure like most tech choices there are those that hate it and think its a performance drag, etc. If you just want to produce something, seems like an easy pick with your skill set. That is unless part of your intent is to learn something new.
Never encountered a platform that didn't gave me problems with Bluetooth, honestly. Maybe on other platforms things are a little bit smoother but also with inferior troubleshooting.
No disrespect but, isn't CCP the biggest enemy of Chinese as a people in the long run. I mean even if Russia occupies China, what can it do that CCP hasn't already done.
> Those are the goals of "Hello, world!". Create the program, compile it, load it, run it, and find the output.

(Emphasis mine)

How are you going to find the output if there is an error outputting it and you're not capturing that?

Given the requirements you've given, that would absolutely make error handling mandatory in my opinion.
>My explanation would be that the US drug war was aggressively international.

Maybe they realized that it surprised people that they did support Russia the directly. Many had no illusions about that, but would have expected their statements towards the invasion to be more diplomatic.
Had something like a Pentium 2 300mhz with mmx if I'm not mistaken, and a voodoo 2. Couple of gigs of disk space and iunno how much ram. I remember we later put in 256mb of ram and made it into our firewall running Debian with iptables where it sat until 2011~.
Are we limited to actions they have successfully carried out, or just those they threaten to? Are you implying that it’s Western/Taiwanese propaganda that China is willing to forcibly unify Taiwan and that in fact China would never consider it?

Nuclear isn't fine even if nothing goes wrong, because it costs too much.

Maybe you meant "nuclear is fine if we just assume nothing will go wrong so we don't have to bother with containment buildings and the like."
Given the hyperscalers' tendency to just leave failed machines in place in the rack because it's not worth the money to even swap it out, for specifically cloud type stuff the price point and density may be more relevant than the repairability.

The mechanism is triggered by one founder making a clear statement, usually in writing, that they want to trigger it. From that moment on, they are bound to it.

For transfer above a certain amount the .5% or whatever they charge still adds up.
Agreed. This is the whole reason I started using PopOS…because it has System76 behind it with a clear funding strategy.
While certainly a classic and highly influential book in the field, be aware that it is very out of date and based on 15+ year old data. This means that most of the conclusions the book comes too are no longer necessarily relevant or correct. So read it more as a historical snapshot of the thinking of the time as opposed to a guide to relevant energy policies in todays climate.
Maybe the initial picture most of us have regarding ship wrecks is ships built from metal, which rust and fall apart significantly easier when submerged.
Great to see more competition in this space.

Would be nice to see currency pairs not currently supported by other services (like wise, etc.)

If I was going to transfer 4 or 5 digits of $$, even if I save a couple bucks of fees, I would choose the more trustworthy option (e.g. Wise has thousands of reviews across websites, social media, etc.), even if it means an extra bit in fees. But if you can support currency pairs that aren't supported by the existing players in the space, would give potential customers a very good reason to try out a new app like this.

I come from a sailors family (every male in the family served some years in the Navy, not my uncle, not me -IT Manager). I remember my grandpha telling me the Endurance story, how Shackleton keep being THE Captain, saving his people from a clearly death.

I still have in my mind the marvelous pictures taken by Frank Hurley, the night ones are impressive.

I still have the book from Alfred Lansing, Endurance. It shows you how hard was the life after the Endurance was trapped in ice, and how they manage to survive in one of the worst climates.

Good thing the endurance will be there, protected and resting from the hard journey.
This is why browser gaming isn't taking off. User interface quirks.

They can not and must not be revoked. This will allow Russia to build up its army again. Give them 5 maybe 10 years and they will start a new war. We must keep Russia isolated for as long as they are a fascist state. If Russia gives up Putin to be trailed in the international court for war crimes then we can lift the sanctions, not earlier.

Measuring IOPS of random, small reads (4kiB, O_DIRECT, single NVMe). (It's for optimising a database engine doing random lookups, but the benchmark is just random reads, no other logic.)

I'd like to think this is due to a particularly well-optimised thread pool :-)

Elementary's "attractiveness" always felt skin-deep to me, triggering some uncanny valley effects more than enjoyment.

Even the basic premise that what people like about Apple is adequately described by "attractive to look at" shows the error in thinking.

If they got rid of the third party services (in this case, Google ReCaptcha and Google's CDN) they would be fine with their current implementation. First party cookies that are necessary do not require any form of opt-out, and a notice about them is compliant. They are not using any third party tracking for marketing (as far as I can tell). Most businesses are using cookie opt-in regardless of the specifics of their usage because businesses are risk averse, but there is nuance, and it is not an absolute requirement.
In a 100% renewable economy, where is the carbon emission coming from in PV? PV doesn't make carbon atoms out of nothing. Also, that chart is ROOFTOP solar. Rooftop solar is not what would be used to power a renewable-powered society; it's more of a con to game current utility rate structures.

Hydro will always have a problem with methane emissions.
It's a symbolic gesture which sends a geopolitical message.

Now, we all get to speculate about the message.

Most of the speculation here is wrong. Russia invaded Ukraine under the pretext of a humanitarian mission and if you read Russian media, Russia is distributing food and aid in Ukraine. Everywhere, but especially Russia and China, a lot of effort goes into keeping up appearances.

I think the key question is how will this be reported by China. It could be pro-Russia (China is helping Russia free Ukraine), neutral (China is providing humanitarian aid in the middle of a conflict), pro-US (China is helping Ukraine against Russia), or just about anything else.

> For instance, hiring

Yes, they screen CVs and join tech interviews. I also join tech interviews.

> evaluating employees

True. They use the 1:1s to keep track of the evaluation afaik.

> redirecting team efforts if new priority arises

As I said, our eng. manager doesn't usually join our planning nor has ever said anything regarding "X has more prio than Y"... Redirecting the team effort is mostly on the team itself (PM + tech lead)

> fostering collaboration with other teams if needed

Again, this happens only if the teams decide to do so. Teams are quite self sub-stained.

> unblocking things

Never happen in our team. If there are any technical blockers, that's usually solved by the tech lead + infra team. If there any business blockers, that's solved by our PM + stakeholders.

> reporting to high management about the team whereabout

Eng. managers have private Slack channels, so can't say anything about this regard.

> making sure every IC has what they need for their job

Care to elaborate? If I need an IDE, I ask in the #it-support channel. If I need to take holiday/sick-leave I ask my team and PM. If I prefer Postgres instead of MySQL, I talk with the infra team; any business-related issue? I talk to my PM... what kind of stuff one asks to their eng. manager?

> taking the temperature of the team, informing people about opportunities, and so on

Lightweight job I would say. But yes, a job nonetheless.

I think you mean `document.querySelectorAll`. `document.querySelector` is aliased to $, at least in my Firefox.

Also, as a caveat, this only works when `window.$` and `window.$$` have not been defined by the site's JS code.
The thing is they are not a "bad manager" in the sense of: they do micromanaging, they never answer our questions, etc. What I think is that an engineer manager is not always needed... the only reason my company has them is to handle salary raises and promotions in a more ordered way (which is a win for the company, but not so much for the employees).
It depends on what the process is for.

Regulatory / legal compliance? Solid process = good

Non-customer-facing repeatable operations? Solid process = good

Financial controls (with the right level of flexibility for smaller/quick decisions to be made)? Process = good

Restricting creative/knowledge worker teams - whether design, product, marketing, engineering - with over-burdensome "process for the sake of the process" = quick way to lose good talent and kill good ideas before they come to life
I try to run these as casually as possible on no specific timeline. I find regular, standardized 1:1s to be a dystopian experience.

The way most of my 1:1 calls initiate usually starts with someone else on the team expressing a bad mood about something and me doing a quick check in on teams.

I find that happy or otherwise productive employees will either reach out actively on their own, or not require this sort of interaction in the first place.
Yes this is true. I thought about this when I wrote it, and the explanation is that as the retailer you just subtract the VAT off your books, and the customer is the one who "paid", all you're doing as the business is counting the money and sending it through to government. So in your accounts you just have this VAT number that appears to be the customer paying the government, but economically it's not quite like that.
"Would pay to do it."

If you can afford to work for free or even paying for the privilege to work, than this is very good for you, but not helpful for anyone who needs to make a living first.

Supposing they do use a threshold based on an absolute value, by what measure would they have chosen this value in the first place? How, when, and why would they review this value? In the end, if their decision process is based purely on a number, it will eventually become a popularity contest or an excluder of outliers. It's turtles all the way down.
How did you not know this? Makes me think you missed a lot more behind the scenes.
They won't be revoked if the attitude doesn't change. If Putin is just replaced by another person like him (there are several) then that doesn't help things.
Well, my 1:1s go like that actually. My point is: if you suddenly remove your 1:1s, would the business or you get impacted? In my case the answer is: no.

The 1:1s are not terrible nor bad, I just feel that they are just superflous.
