Same. I was devastated when I broke it. I would probably still be wearing it. My modern smart watch really doesn't do much more - except perhaps keeping track of my heart rate.
The article shows an example of a credit card field being a "number". Having made several online purchases, I realized I'm now frustrated by a CC number field that doesn't allow any spaces or dashes, or doesn't format it visually this way for you. They should just allow dashes/spaces then strip it using JS or at the backend.

There is a reason that the number printed on the credit card is grouped into 4 digits, and I believe that it makes human parsing easier. When I submit the form and it says "invalid card number", trying to figure out which digit I mistyped into the form while scanning that long string of digits with my eyes, gazing at the card and back at the screen is just stupid.
I cried a little when Pebble went away, never got a smartwatch again that felt as nice from a company I felt I could trust.

Everyone is your equal. Tip what you like but treat everyone with respect. Being English of an older generation I cannot ask for something without saying please and thank you. I find it appalling when people don't. Every person you deal with deserves your care and attention.

Quietly giving and working for good causes is important. Also, if you are not evading taxation, regard your taxes as a blessing on others too.

I feel the same way! When they come up, my reaction is "nice"+cmd-w. Thanks, twitter!

To your response: I mean, there are some curious people on twitter. Curious people don't engage in the problematic dynamics outlied in the article, so some exchange of information happens there. That's clearly not representative of the bigger picture though, simply because the most people can't afford curiosity, courtesy of their cognitive functions (if you subscribe to Jungs model) and/or their position in maslows pyramid.
I wish we invested in hyperloops and made them happen in the next decade. Those will change the world as we know it, and hopefully for the better.
Let's agree that it's a global tendency of humans to take advantage of other humans who have shown that they are willing to accept it.
Yes navigating via muscle memory is way better on macOS because per word cursor movement is supported.

And terminal has ctrl+a and ctrl+e. My mnemonics: A is for Anfang (german: start, beginning), e is just End.

On windows I was confused as to whether Pos1/End gets me to file ending, or line ending. I think it's the first, unless you hit a modifier key.

It's great that the interest in the technical side is already there, that will make things a lot easier.

The point about centering on the fun factor still stands. Looking at my own career, the greatest jumps in my development have always been made with projects I truly wanted to see made.

Usually those were hobby projects, but sometimes paid work as well, if a project is challenging in an interesting way, or just feels worthwhile for what it is.
The haptic feedback on my M1 Air is indistinguishable from the physical click of my 2013 Pro's springboard-design trackpad. Are you maybe comparing it to some low-quality trackpad that has a lot of flex?
If you're a producer, you are only as good as your last loaf of bread, or your last croissant. On the retail side, storing, rotating, and transporting fresh baked goods is actually nontrivial, and consumers by and large have difficulty discerning whether their croissant sucked because it wasn't stored properly, or because it was just a crappy croissant. So for the producer, trusting someone to sell their products literally means trusting them with their brand.

What many startups trying to disrupt this business don't understand well is that the food industry is built on relationships -- moreso than most other industries. To succeed as a retailer, you need to have excellent relationships with your vendors.

If I don't want to sell you my bread right now as a baker, that's my perogative, but if you try to go behind my back, that shows me that #1 you're not respectful of my boundaries and #2 that you're willing to lie to get what you want e.g. by sending me an order pretending to be a retail customer.

There's no way I'll want you to succeed if you treat me like that. And both of these behaviors guarantee I'll never want to work with you, and that my contacts will think twice before working with you too. And trust me, if I've been around for more than a few years as a business, I probably have many contacts.

On the other hand, when you have good relationships with your vendors, lots of doors open, and people will want to help you succeed. They'll work with you on pricing so you can be competitive, produce vendors will save decent looking product for you when the drought hits hard, and a dairy vendor might send an extra truck out to you if you miss an order deadline or someone clears out all your milk. This holds if you're a small corner market or a larger regional chain -- or if you're a grocery startup

Another reason I might not want to work with you: if I'm a producer, you probably want to work with me on terms, meaning I'll invoice you for the bread I'm selling you today, and you'll pay me in 30-45 days. This requires me to trust you're going to pay your invoices on time. I will run your credit, but unfortunately, with lots of grocery delivery companies coming and going bust -- and leaving their vendors in the lurch -- lots of producers are thinking twice before taking that bet (see [1], [2], [3], to name a few).

I've heard that speed cameras in some European countries just have a DSLR in them, and whoever maintains them would have to go around collecting the memory cards once in a while. IMO the camera is fine, the bottle is a less elegant hack. On the flip side, how much does an F-35 cost again?
it's just kind of obvious from looking at the distribution of these kinds of posts. lots of people posting blogs about why they use x and y new technology with these objectively good reasons to do so, and then two years later everyone jumps on another pet project hype train.

it seems like these reasons to do something mysteriously only stay valid for the short period of time in which a technology has some kind of hype status and quickly fades when people realize that it's actually not that much improvement in practice and the hassles (training devs in new language, worse language ecosystem etc.) aren't actually worth it.

YouTrack works well, and you can self host or cloud it as you prefer.
And hold Shift while doing either of those, to select the text you move over.
Preach. Any input which might as well be random (CC, phone numbers, keys, fingerprints, …) should allow for formatting otherwise anything beyond 4 characters gets very hard to validate and correct.

If it auto-formats that may be fine, although lots of these have very culturally dependent formattings (phone numbers are a prime example here) so freeform formatting is definitely better.

It’s also important to realise that lots of things which are numerical (sequences of digits) are not semantically numbers e.g. leading zeroes are relevant in a phone number or CC number, and incrementing or decrementing either is nonsensical.

And you would be very right, but the "article" (more like stubby notes) presents examples and

> Julius Caesar, who pretended to have more faith in his troops than he really had to prevent their fearing a superior German force; St Francis of Assisi, whose deception stopped hunters from killing a rabbit; a nameless, unlearned shepherd boy who downplayed his own cleverness to trick an educated judge; and Pontano’s own mother, who feigned not being proud of his accomplishments to make him strive for greater excellence

may well not be lying, depending on how the actor manages it. There are ways to do it properly, and without degrading one into lying.

In fact, the latter reminds me of a fatherly exchange: "How were you rated?" // "The maximum." // "You could have done better."

If the treatise in topic is the "De Prudentia" - the author of those note criminally omits that -, that the topic be /prudence/ should clarify the perspective.

Also, Pontano was another of those who believed in the social structure as a "perfect" mechanism ("they would never do that"; "this would never happen") and got burnt by the experience of reality. Those treaties reflect that - that you have to deal with real, imperfect humans; that situations have to be managed.
>2 different formats (ex. HDD, cloud)

That's not what "format" means, it's more like DB-Dump and DB-VM-Dump, or pure Files and VM-Dump, or something like restic-repo and rsync(pure files).
Good faith communication is maladaptive on large scale

Imagine the war scenario. The honest, good-faith communication would be like:
If we capitulate outright, the worst thing that happens is paying taxes to somewhere else, and the set of faces on TV news will change to a different set of faces. Anyway, please go and die to prevent that from happening, while the people who have the most at stake hide in safety

It's not difficult to see why bad-faith war propaganda beats that every time

Interesting. That one diesel HST wasn't very successful. It's been taken out of service again and the line is now operated by a slower train again. This seems to suggest that electric trains are more suitable for high-speed lines, although it's not clear why exactly this diesel train didn't perform the way it should.

Let's see how well "botched war" does in the coming weeks and months. There is a big, as in enormous, battle coming in Eastern Ukraine and if the Russian encirclement is successful, there will be very little between Kiev and Russia.
My main concern in online discussions is that you're effectively arguing against a hydra. Even if you successfully convince a group of people about the validity of a specific point, there will always be someone else who will show up to continue arguing (often, as you say, with a completely different argument). And if someone successfully convinces me that my argument was wrong, there is no way for me to declare the point settled - someone else will show up and keep the discussion going.

It's turtles all the way down, where each turtle is yelling at the one on top.

Asking Linked List questions for senior interviews?
I have around 10+exp. Recently, I have been trying for job change and most companies are asking Linked List questions in the interviews instead of the role/expertise/something needed for the project. So, I get rejection mails from some roles which we really liked.

Usually, when we take interviews to our team, we focus mostly on arrays/hashmaps/strings, etc as we encounter them in all the work.

Not sure why these companies still want to use Linked List even for senior interviews.

super late response, but I'm saying we understand. EM radiation from your router is just way too low energy to enact any changes in the atoms making up the molecules in you for even chemical let alone biological effects to start playing a role.

Same goes for phone numbers too. When I enter a phone number into a field, only to be told on pressing submit that 'phone number cannot contain spaces', I despair for technology. So your form accepts spaces, and you made your website check for spaces, but simply removing them is beyond the capabilities of your code? Websites suck.

Go would never be able to outcompete C in real-time OS applications.

Because of frequent requirements of sub-microsecond response are often found in design of embedded targets, Go is often the first casualty of a language selection during hardware design. Although there might be some TinyGo looming on the horizon, just to deal with that ornery requirement type.

It's honestly really important NOT to treat a credit card "number" as a number. It is an essentially text string made out of digits. It doesn't have any of the equalities or operations a number has. 01234 != 1234 and so forth.
What disturbs me deeply is that people can't express themselves in ways that aren't approved by whatever regional cultural standard the moderation team / algorithm devs have chosen to uphold.

Here is my model:

The root problem is: the 90% of people who are not inherently driven by curiosity want to contribute/validate their viewpoint/seek peer confirmation.

This, left alone, leads to nothing good, which is why we came up with this funny concept of "culture".

But culture is dead, courtesy of

* the social-laissez-faire-boogaloo of the US' concept of "total freedom"

* the decay of stability-providing social structures

* existential dread/people trapped in the lower levels of Maslows pyramid

Imagine how smart the smartest people out of one million are. Pretty smart, huh? We have 7000 of them, and they have lots of things to say, but nobody gives a fuck, because people don't actually seek to understand. They seek validation, righteousness and stability. And you don't have to be the smartest out of a million to be worth listening to, but the simple fact that our "culture" (which is decayed to complete archaic groupthink) sets up the wrong reward incentives should paint a clear picture and be accessible to understand for everyone. Its not that stupid people get famous, its that people who are not curious get famous. That is where we fail.

The answer to this must be culture, again. But this time one that matches the world we've built since the last one collapsed, namely one that provides the stability people seek across the board. When the framework for that stability was religion, critically relevant people could not find social stability when they questioned god. That's why religion as a framework sucks, it doesn't capture the entire group.

The solution is easy: curiosity. Curious people are worth listening to, everyone else is not. This is something we have to cement in every piece of art and work we create. Literally: show the people who's minds are trapped in a simpler place their limits, very gently, and offer salvation: man, there are lots of intelligent people out there who try to make the world a better place. You don't have to understand it all, and you wont anyway, so don't stress yourself. We can do this, together. This, roughly, is the rhetoric picture we'll have to paint over the last decades. That, and only that, fixes the problem at its root.

Where there is enough population density and 'right of way' for trains, trains almost always make sense.

Flying is better for NYC -> Colorado - LA but trains are better for NY -> DC corridor, and frankly, probably all the way down to Florida.

There is the issue of 'downtown' and 'walkable cities'. If you arrive in Baltimore near an airport, you have to rent a car. In European cities, you hop on the Subway to the Hotel, that makes a big difference as well.

But Boston->DC is ripe for train transformation.

And 'established circuits' SF->LA->Vegas should be high speed - that California can't sort that out is really sad, it's a matter of organizational/systematic incompetence.

There needs to be kind of a 'civic buy in' for it to work
> Bill.com is licensed as a money transmitter in California.

Also in nearly every other state:

https://www.bill.com/legal/licenses

It is not only California law that matters here.

> The funds are supposed to be in a trust account, with Bill.com acting as a fiduciary. It's important to be sure that's actually the case. This really matters if Bill.com goes bankrupt. If the funds are in a trust account, you get them back, reasonably quickly. Otherwise...

I'm not sure that the money needs to be held in a segregated "trust account" as such for it to be considered "money held in trust", if the money transmitter law explicitly specifies that the customer funds are funds held in trust.

> Money transmitters are regulated primarily for consumer protection purposes. Businesses are expected to take measures to protect themselves. Large customers of Bill.com really need to nail down exactly who owns that money.

This is really getting into the weeds with regards to how a bankruptcy court would handle a case like this, if Bill.com were ever to go bankrupt. I will agree with you that it does seem like an interesting question: If Bill.com is acting as an agent-of-a-payee on behalf of one of its customers, and is therefore somehow exempted from CA money transmitter law for purposes of licensing and regulation vis-a-vis that particular customer, does that also mean that such a customer's funds should not be considered "funds held in trust" for purposes of bankruptcy?

I very much doubt that any court will ever get the chance to rule on this question, however, because Bill.com is licensed as a money transmitter and doesn't seem to be attempting to avail itself of the agent-of-a-payee exemption. It would have to be a creditor of Bill.com arguing to the court that in spite of Bill.com's status as a money transmitter, particular customers' accounts should be exempted from money transmitter laws, and that those particular customers should be treated as ordinary unsecured creditors. It would be such a travesty of justice for that to happen, I cannot imagine that any judge would agree to such a thing. Besides, the DFI would shut Bill.com down before they ever got close to bankruptcy, and there really is no reason to think that Bill.com will ever go bankrupt.
