Punishment would involve having something further taken away. If they jailed people for donating, that would be punishment.

Thank you, that's a very interesting response, and also the complete opposite of my experience with this sort of thing!

In my experience, the design team is often even more component-driven than the dev team, with more interest in things right down to things like design tokens to specify consistent line widths. Whereas developers also use components to encapsulate design, but mainly use it to encapsulate behaviour or local state - say, a drop-down that needs a particular search functionality, or a breadcrumb component that needs to update as the page history changes.

But thanks for your perspective.
Rounding to even makes sense for human-facing decimals as well.

That's what they do in accounting, I think? At least Wikipedia tells me it's also called banker's rounding.

Incidentally, it's also what Python's Decimal does by default. See https://docs.python.org/3/library/decimal.html#rounding-mode...
It’s their implementation of 3D Secure for online payments, which I think is based on a combination of heuristics and the merchant opting in/out. It’s a very good UX though, banks I’ve used in the past would ask you to enter some characters of your password on a weird looking 3D secure page.

This is their blog when they announced it: https://monzo.com/blog/2018/08/22/launching-3d-secure
It would be really difficult to find anything because businesses are so terrible at advertisement and sales in general here.

The government is also terrible at communicating, so it would be very difficult to figure out when laws have changed, and how they are being implemented in practice (very important during Covid).

There are other community based websites here, but they are much less well moderated and skew towards scams and vulgarity.

This is all from an Expat's perspective, but there aren't any local language alternatives either for reliable community information.
> "Preserve presentation across platforms" is an anti-feature. No one has created a solution that satisfies that constraint because it's (a) a lot of work for (b) something that is the opposite of what the people involved are actually aiming for.

I think you are missing the experiences of a large part of the user population. They put together their report, or book, or brochure or datasheet or whatever, and they want it to look a certain way, regardless of the platform, and they almost all use PDF. People care very much about how their work product looks. PDF is a solution that satisfies that constraint - I have seen it do that very consistently for a long time.

How do you annotate blog posts, and in way that is preserved for decades.

I almost suspect we are somehow talking different things, because even the most non-technical users know that about PDFs. But also it reads like you are finding a way to disagree with everything.

My genuine question - Is it possible to have ADHD and be a coder? It’s just that coding requires so much focussed attention over long periods. If you are enjoying a career as a coder I’m inclined to think either the ADHD is mild or treated very effectively? Or even that treated ADHD actually makes you better than the median somehow?

The carbon footprint of the cloud has exceeded the footprint of air travel. A move away from monolithic statically compiled binaries to constellations of microservices (usually bloated docker containers) is a significant part of the problem.

Docker's explosive growth is partly due to the convenience of the abstraction it provides, abstracting the entire linux userspace, putting even OS-wide package managers and language-specific package managers inside another box. This usually breaks any caching / code sharing that the now containerized packages had, resulting in the bloat. The docker image is portable, yes, but disk and RAM efficiency of the systems people are building are awful. It has been the norm for every little microservice to add a few GB of bloat to the overall software system. A dev writes "RUN pip install pytorch" and you have CICD servers pulling down 2GB of pytorch to build the container, every time the software is built, probably forever. Meanwhile species are going extinct and a lot of people are starting to wonder if it's ethical to work in technology at all.

What can your team do to reverse this tragedy of the commons? Can you come up with some equally ergonomic tool that can migrate the container ecosystem on to something that has a solid foundation with good caching?
I don’t think OP is advocating for having no tolerance for low performance. He’s just saying that it’s the manager's job to do something about it when it occurs and can’t be resolved otherwise, else it negatively impacts the rest of the team. “Do something” could be training, coaching, shifting scope of responsibilities, whatever. Doesn’t necessarily mean firing people.

Mentoring and leading by example are great things to do, but they do nothing to solve the actual scenarios that Will gave as examples in the OP. There are some situations that you can’t resolve by being a good colleague, and the manager needs to step in.

The print version has the autobiographies of the authors as well as all this. I found it interesting that everyone buys the book to learn more about Sasha but his section of the autobiography is rather sparse. It’s his wife who really fills in all the details and gives you a rich illustration of the human aspect of their lives.

I am awestruck by one thing in particular. At one point Anne took a drug that basically induced a severe psychiatric disorder, a very painful one. It was essentially the worst case scenario for drug users. But eventually she decided to take decisive action by taking another powerful drug, MDMA. Believe me, I can tell you from personal experience, when you have a severe psychiatric disorder caused by a drug, the idea of taking another drug is terrifying. But, believing it would fix her, she did. And the crazy thing is that it actually worked. I will never understand the strength it must have taken to do that.

Sasha shulgin in the greatest hero of our time. He experimented on himself to pave the way for the cure to PTSD and soon many other things. He should be put on the dollar bill.

Yeah, the general consensus I get from reading HN* is that the winds are blowing away from Google services and associated vendor lock-in / account banishment risk, rather than towards.

Given some recent discussions, I found this excerpt amusing:

*My choice of posts to read may be (strongly) biased towards those moving away from Google.

Just because it’s easy to use contactless doesn’t mean we should lose the privacy that cash gives us. The only people who win from this situation is the governments ability to control at a more granular level.
> While I do not foresee this being adopted in the US I won't put it past lobbyists to try.

The article isn’t actually talking about a government policy FWIW. It’s basically falling demand for ATMs and bank branches leading to less of them. Less bank branches means some stores don’t want cash because it’s more of a hassle when there isn’t a bank branch around the corner.

There definitely are reasons for governments to want less cash and to force people to have more easily controlled money. But that’s not what this is talking about, it’s just people having less access to cash because of businesses taking decisions with government not being involved at all in those decisions.

There are several ways in which a software can fill data "wrongly".

If you are legally able to claim deductions, pre-filled tax forms that do not contain those deductions are by definition wrong, even though you may agree with individual form items. While this can be related to innocent mistakes and the sheer inability of the state to know the necessary information, sometimes it appears to be deliberate: The classic example is the Pendlerpauschale, which does not appear in Elster pre-filled tax forms even though the state does have all necessary information (address of your flat / address of your employer) to fill it.

If you accept these faulty forms, you will almost always pay more taxes than you have to.
How do you determine the fudge factor?

Eg if you compare (x + 1.2) + (x + 2.3) < (2*x + 3.6) that goes wrong for big enough x.
For those who want the short version

How long will it take you to build?

Do you have access to the right resources?

Can you obtain the required raw materials?

What this misses out is if this is something that should be built anyway. This only validates if you can make something, it doesn't answer the question of if you should build it.
They probably will never do that and there’s nothing wrong with it.

Consider that airlines are a well established and reliable business worth trillions around the globe. And yet they also don’t take off or land in adverse weather conditions. Sometimes there’s a snowstorm and a whole day of flights is canceled.

But none of that invalidates the existence of the industry as a whole.
The safety profile of amphetamines are not anywhere near as good as Strattera, so if that's why you are avoiding it, you should reconsider. Vyvanse can cause heart issues, liver issues, and kidney issues (and rarely lung issues). If amphetamines didn't have serious side effects, we'd let everyone use them :)

I took amphetamines for 10 years, and Strattera for 15 years.
Straterra was much more consistent in efficacy, and it never stopped working for me - almost all amphetamines stopped working after a few years, and i would have to change them.
> In the power outage situation, the merchant won't be able to handle any transactions

They can handle cash transactions just fine, that's the beauty of cash. It is entirely self-contained.

Having lived in areas where power goes out often, that's the norm. Cash only while there is no power.

Even here, California, every so often various local convenience stores become cash-only for the day whenever their network connection is down.
The extrapolated concept is great for life in general. Quite literally use different vocabulary to reframe an existing challenge to force a shift in perspective and thereby arrive at a different problem.

A quite simple observation by the article on how perhaps to approach challenging life issues as well as say mathematical ones. As shifting perspectives when in the trenches of complex life challenges is really hard.
This would be perfect for a noise isolating microphone. Many popular high quality headphones simply have a microphone near the ear. That makes it hard to hear the speaker in a noisy area. There are solutions, such as what tank drivers and pilots use. however, that involves an external microphone which "doesn't look good". But these headphones don't look good anyways, and has something near the mouth. So, they might as well add a good noise isolating microphone.

BTW, if any HNers know of any existing headphones with good noise isolating microphones, please let me know.
I am curious if you generally feel comfortable with the government being able to retroactively define something as "terrorism" when it does not conform with your general political views. Personally I think this is a terrible idea whether or not I agree with the people being targeted.

This was semi-true until this year (if you didn't care about the often massive deductions you would have just for living somewhere other than your office desk, and only for as long as the tax office would not demand you to file taxes, which they could do for any reason, and often).

Now, with the 300 Euros of fuel relief, every employee will have to file taxes on said 300 Euros.
You can self host pleroma, no email server required, it federates with activitypub so it's on the same network as mastodon and federates with it. I used to host a server a while back, it was pretty straightforward.
In Julia at least, there are packages that provide alternatives to Bigfloats:

Logarithmic numbers: more range, less precision
https://github.com/cjdoris/LogarithmicNumbers.jl

Double arithmetic: stitch 2 floats together
https://github.com/JuliaMath/DoubleFloats.jl

Of course, if you are calling BLAS/LAPACK, you are constrained to use floats, but the recommendation on DoubleFloats is clear: if you know you algorithms, use the increased precision only in the parts that matter
> Isn't that kind of the point of open source software?

With free software, yes. It also includes undesirables as well.

> It's odd to use an open source software when you feel the developers are actively trying to catch you slip up to bring you down permanently.

Well it seems that the Mastodon developers have forgotten that there aren't any restrictions in free software except for the terms of the license and in the end Truth Social complied. So that is that.

Putting special source code restrictions on other users beyond the AGPL intends to basically defeats the purpose of free software.

This is one common strategy to fool people. Fool people by saying they will plant more trees etc., and when push comes to shove they will simply turn their head and probably claim for bankruptcy. These sort of Shenanigans happens so often I really don't trust big companies.
They didn't release the source code as required by AGPL and pretended to have built it from scratch initially and defederated from the rest of the network.

Thanks for the recommendation. I’ve been a long time user of Unifi kit but the utter stagnation of the entire product line has really made me want to start looking for other options.

For instance, I keep hoping for an updated USG3 given the current one hasn’t changed since 2014 and can’t do IPS without throttling speeds to 80Mbps which is simply unacceptable these days, but all they seem to be doing is focusing on big and expensive 1U hardware which I just don’t have room for.
Additionally, Facebook doesn't seem to provide that much value to humanity anyway. In fact, I would say they contribution is negative in today's society.
Excepting kernel scheduling, dealing with the set of problems i,j,k and being interrupted to deal with the set of problems x,y,z means all your short-term memory dealing with i,j,k disappears, and whatever mental work you’ve done to deal with i,j,k needs to be repeated once x,y,z is “problem solved” - but that’s a waste of time, compared to solving i,j,k completely and then moving on to x,y,z, and it’s annoying for the person solving the problems
