> That doesn't make the application not-procedural. If it's having side effects, it's procedural in a sense.

“Procedural” is a structural paradigm; unstructured imperative code (old-school BASIC) has side effects but is not procedural in any sense (it is part of the broader category of imperative languages.) Also, “procedural” (or “imperative” or “functional”) is an attribute of programming languages, not applications/systems: Haskell is a pure functional programming languages, in which evaluating functions has no side effects, but it can define systems that have effects.
Some of Author's conclusions just seem like failures of imagination:

* "it must be someone who only had access to a stapled, printed copy of the draft opinion (If the person had access to the under­lying digital file, they wouldn’t have printed & stapled it just to unstaple it.)"

* "I don’t think the leaker was an oppo­nent of the opinion, because there would be no tactical value in doing so."

On the former, that assumes it's less risky to grab a digital copy (copied to some medium plugged into some machine, likely audited, maybe rights protected), than to smuggle out (and smuggle back in?) a physical copy. The latter is super low-tech and in an environment where (as demonstrated by Roberts' press release) the trust level is super high, I wonder how hard it is to smuggle out paper copies. There's all sorts of potential black magic in a digital copy that the tech unsavvy may (rightfully) be afraid of. So even if you had access to both, low-tech may be best.

On the latter, it's usually not wise to put your own rational thoughts into the head of a suspect. You need to understand *their* "rational" thoughts. It's not too hard for me to imagine some perceived benefits that an opponent or proponent of the opinion would see in the leak.
Based on these reports and pricing, I've currently filled my NAS with only Toshiba drives. 1 4TB, 1 5TB and 2 14TB drives and all of them have been great. These enterprise drives are quite noisy, but my oldest already runs for over 4 years without any reallocated sectors or other issues. Apart from that, Toshiba provides free 5 year warranty on these drives.

And the best thing? These bad boys are only 250 euro's for 14TB or 300 euro's for 18TB of raw storage capacity.
Switch position isn't just a visual indicator; it's also a tactile indicator, allowing you to to feel the position of the switch when you reach to turn it on, and feel when you've successfully flipped its state. Lights aren't the only things that get hooked up to switches, so an indication of state can sometimes be helpful.

Physical switches also have other UX benefits, such as having zero learning curve, and being easy to operate without looking at them. I've built up enough muscle memory at this point that I don't even have to think about toggling the light switch when I walk into a room in my own home; it's so automatic at this point that if I'm distracted I'll sometimes even forget there's another person in the room and flip off the lights on my way out the door.

These are all minor things obviously; but I still wish I didn't have to sacrifice them to get the benefits of a smart switch. I understand the desire to avoid moving parts; but surely a couple properly engineered solenoids wouldn't be that prone to failure.

I am curious - is this informed by your experience of having sampled every job in SV? Or perhaps a representative sample? Is it possible other people might be different than you and have a different perspective.

What a fucking joke of a comment.
Should we call it Amortisation as a Service (AaaS) then?

Is that really the only benefit?
Good. They totally rigamarolled me at checkout.
It's not about reasoning. It's about excuses for partisan squabbling.

Nothing has changed in the last 4 years. Any time you have props and state, updating props is best done by replacing the component by changing the key. If you think hooks has fixed this, you are welcome to point to an article or code that demonstrates that.

All of this complexity is completely unwarranted, which is the point of the article at the subject of this thread. You can do it with simple vanilla js and it is easier. Javascript developers tend to buy into frameworks too easily without realizing the framework is making some things more complicated than without any framework.
The first Eco-Drives came out in the mid 90s. If you look around you'll find quite a few reports from people who bought the very first ones, and which are still ticking away virtually maintenance-free for 25+ years and counting. My own, a dive watch with around 10 years, which has actually been used for its stated purpose, is also still problem-free and with zero maintenance so far.

The only thing you need to be mindful of with Eco-Drives is that you can't let it lose all charge. It can keep functioning in complete darkness for around 6 months, according to the specs, but if you do this enough times the battery will lose the ability to hold charge and will need to be replaced, and there are plenty of reports to this effect. If you're not planning on wearing it, just leave it somewhere that it can get natural light, instead of a drawer, and you should be good.

While mechanical watches are undoubtedly cool and elegant, they're not perfect timekeepers, and when they do need maintenance it's not something trivial which you can perform yourself. For my day-to-day watch I'll take an accurate quartz movement with virtually zero maintenance any day. In other words an Eco-Drive, or something similar.
If you're considering self-hosting anything, you might consider using https://www.passwordstore.org/.

Personally, I've used it since lastpass made people pay for multi-device access. You can treat it like a git repo that's encrypted at rest. Client implementations are pretty quality in my window of experience (on linux+ff, mac osx+ff, iOS+safari).

The security problem reduces to "how do I securely store a private key that I use every day", which is a well-understood problem with a well-documented set of solutions.

My wife and I did this immediately upon retiring: Pacific Northwestern U.S. to Lisbon, Portugal. Early days yet (less than one year), but so far has been fantastic. Much lower cost of living, the culture is similar enough to be comfortable, and different enough to be fascinating and fun. Plus, meeting people from all over the world. Met a couple from Croatia today in the pet store.

I strongly recommend moving to a different country, if you can. It's a big, interesting world out there.
This captures the problem I have with this system. The wasted effort is absolutely immense. Rejected grants do come back with comments so you can try to fix the perceived problems. You can also consult with the NIH about how you can improve. But sometimes your idea is just not going to get funded.

The current pay line is about 12%. On average a researcher is going to end up failing 7/8 times. They are going to waste years of effort going back and forth to get a single R01. I don't remember the statistics but it is something like 8-10 years for a new professor to land their first R01. At my institute, you are basically required to have 2 R01 grants to keep things running. That means your job is not to do science at all, but to be a grant writing machine that gets enough funding so your lab can do whatever it is you want to do. On some level academic science is really marketing your brand of science.
Sure you could do that too. You mean, just release it as text, I assume. It would certainly cut out a lot of possible methods of fingerprinting, leaving actual changes to the text only pretty much, which are probably not as common outside some limited scenarios.

I think the reason you don't do that is that things like the formatting and so on being accurate lend credibility to the document.
> Sentences subtly reordered, slight differences in word voice or spelling. Though that makes collaboration more difficult.

I think that would make collaboration impossible. If that were standard practice collaboration would eventually uncover that was occurring, and a leaker would compensate.

IMHO that technique is only valid when the recipients can be assumed to not be in contact, or as an unusual thing to identify a leaker when one is already suspected.
>The function of a wallet is to keep your money secure

Do you have evidence that the money secured by Chivo is actually 'secure.' If not then it fails to meet your own definition of a wallet. It's the constant HN semantic argument ("well it lets you log into something to trade something that isn't actually bitcoin but you could get bitcoin eventually so therefore it's a bitcoin wallet!!!") Yes if you want to play semantic games my work computer (sans bitcoin software) is also a bitcoin wallet because I can access my online banking which in turn allows me to, eventually, get bitcoin after a number of operations.

Having credentials that in turn allow you to trade on the lightning network that in turn allows you to get bitcoin does not a bitcoin wallet make.
Is there a nice way (ie. not screenshots) to print piano roll notation?
$2.5M is a remarkably low percentage. If this means that 98% of the fine actually goes back to consumers, that's better than I've ever heard of from a class action lawsuit.
Mastering Emacs seems like a good example. I also feel like Practical Common Lisp was self-published before Apress published it?
I think it's the polar opposite. We've created a problem for businesses and a great sitution (high pay, high job security) for developers.

The developers don't really lose in this situation unless they are owning the businesses.

I'm not saying this is a good thing. Just assessing the reality.
I'm not convinced that either estimate is accurate. To validate that the measurements are real they should actually run the tasks for a significant amount of time and see how much battery is used.

For private individuals, the thresholds for defamation lower. But for public officials, and corporations defamation is nearly impossible to prove. It's not enough to prove that the statements made were false, it's also necessary to prove that they were made with malicious intent. Unless there's some bombshell piece of evidence, like journalists actively conspiring to tear down a target, the journalists can just say "well, we were just writing a piece interesting for our readers."

The 9-0 supreme court case that set this precedence: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Times_Co._v._Sullivan
Not even that. Just consider how long it took for the government to make any kind of movement on the issue, regardless of whether it was some likely watered down toothless action or not. So, retroactively the cost was some fraction of $141M over the years they've gotten away with their practices and it is also safe to assume that they would likely just offset that cost over some period into the future, i.e., 10 years of past profit + 10 years until the mid point to the next government action, over $141M ... which they will make up by upping the price as they have clearly been doing on a regular basis.

On that note. We should be telling everyone about freetaxusa.com (no affiliation other than having tried it). I can't recall the exact cost structure, but it's on the order of $25 to do federal and state returns with investment income, and file both electronically. That's in comparison to what I think is around $100 for the equivalent using TurboTax.
Unfortunately, Google is a very much technology focused and not business focused. That’s why after 20+ years almost all of its revenue still comes from advertising. All of the other major tech companies have multiple billion dollar profitable revenue streams.

It even came out during the Oracle trial that Google only made about $26 billion in profit from the inception of Android to 2016. Apple makes more from Google in mobile by being paid for it to be the default search engine ($12-$18 billion a year) than Google makes from Android.

12 years ago OKRs were huge. And yes, you graded them, managers and other teams viewed them, and you aimed for 0.7. Recently, it was a lot more lax. Many teams didn’t do them, drifted away from them, or didn’t bother grading them
You can even apply “the cloud” to your very own fleet of computers with the right software.

In trials they are mixing it with quinidine or bupropion, which increases the bioavailability so lower doses are effective. Maybe that will help negative effects.

Unfortunately there will probably never be one single silver bullet solution here, but another tool in the tool belt is always useful.
Fewer potential clues but also less credibility I expect.

OCR also isn't going to be 100% though probably more than good enough in this case. If you really want to implement subtle tracking, you could make changes in the document itself that differ by recipient.
Yeah, at this point the majority of API requests that Plaid fulfills are filled with data provisioned from institutions via an API. I assume that OP was only looking at named banks who we did press releases with (e.g. Chase, Wells Fargo, Capital One) but there are many more financial institutions we have API integrations with beyond that, either via Plaid Exchange or via their own APIs.

Creating a throwaway for this (potentially valid) criticism destroys any credibility you may have.
This models the leaker as unsophisticated/naive. It’s not clear to me that’s warranted given they were likely part of the Supreme Court staff. The actual effect of leaking this as opposed to waiting for it to be announced seems beneficial for supporters of the decision not detractors.
In this thread you've accused the founder of Plaid multiple times of lying, without evidence, and most importantly, your account was made only 1 hour ago.

You've said "Stop lying bro.", "hella sus", "This is 100% a lie", "seems suspect", all without evidence.

You seem to have some ulterior motive here that you haven't disclosed. Maybe you're right about everything, but it comes across poorly.
I quickly isolated the blue channel of the document and ramped up the saturation (which should emphasize yellows), but I can't find any obvious dots (even at 10x zoom). AFAIK it's not the only method in use though, just the most well known.
Any justice that would be the target of the proposed influence campaign knows that the process of deliberation is not decided in the first draft. Moreover, none of the justices would need to explain their apparent vacillation to the public. None of their power is derived from public opinion, so they are not incentivized to align themselves with public opinion or public pressure. Is leaking this actually likely to influence a ruling in the more conservative direction?

“This agreement should serve as a reminder to companies large and small that engaging in these deceptive marketing ploys is illegal.” I think he meant profitable. From Intuit’s perspective this is like a court order to dump out the cup of coffee you bought.

Forget the people who signed up from their ad, let’s add up the money the country has collectively spent (wasted) on CPAs, TurboTax, H&R Block, etc due to the complex income tax code Intuit and friends perpetually lobby to maintain.

Intuit is a parasite on our society. Their newest strategy is to force businesses using QuickBooks into software subscriptions because we all know the logical rules for double entry bookkeeping are constantly in flux /s
Really depends on the type of game. Niche minecraft servers often have great communities. Small games that aren't PVP focused can be great. FFXIV has some great communities as well. It's definitely out there, but you gotta know where to look.

What's it like doing that as a US citizen? What are the costs involved? I imagine you have setup your whole life in Lisbon with a place to live, bank accounts, residency, etc... but then you have to maintain ties the US as that's where your retirement accounts are, etc.? And you still pay US taxes?
More that lots of men who are upset still won't experience it with the same emotional resonance that many women are. Not because women are more emotional or men aren't empathetic but just that the fear lives closer to the surface for those who can really see themselves in the shoes of someone this decision will hurt. Dismissing clerks because they fear risking their career makes sense unless that clerk fears more for the lives of people they know/people like them.

Definitely much more to this story, but they basically wanted you to do a part of their job for them. It's common and mostly understandable, as they might not remember everything that you did. They'll have to re-word everything anyhow.
A little bit of an misunderstanding. When I originally said alternatives, I was referring to alternatives to voice assistants like Phone Apps, Google Searches, math in your Head.

That being said, from watching demos of alternative voice assistants on Youtube and going down the rabbit hole of actually setting up Mycroft, Ada, and Project Alice; yes the experience is better with Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant hands down. The setup experience is light years ahead of these projects and the performance/latency is also significantly faster.

That doesn't mean I don't fully support what you're doing. I'm just looking at the current state objectively.
“ We have around 50 people on staff, and for the past couple of years, we have leveled new employees based on years of relevant experience. We had three levels, each with a single, non-negotiable salary that was the same across locations, and everybody was assigned to one of those levels. We've always been completely remote”

I guess the main question that comes to mind is “why would a strong-performing, early-in-career engineer want to join?”

In other words, aren’t you capping junior hires to come from the bottom ~60%?
Yeah exactly this, Plaid is probably in for a rough ride long term. Stripe will likely steamroll them.

What an amazingly mistaken and insensitive comment!
I think that's pretty much what the comment is saying, yeah. Doesn't seem like a controversial POV that being a man could bias expectations when considering who leaked the memo (because the emotional investment is different). I know the GP uses language people here don't like, but it's not an unreasonable point to make when the core issue primarily impacts women.
The issue is that the decision was not final; Chief Justice Roberts was still trying to persuade other justices to adopt a split-the-difference decision (uphold the 15-week law but don't kill Roe v Wade). Justices have switched sides before. Leaking it could kill any quiet negotiations. There was a second leak after the first one about this (about Roberts' position).

So someone on the hard-line anti-abortion side had a motivation to do the leak.

Thinking of doing the opposite. Moving from Madison, WI likely to PNW (Seattle is most likely). The complete lack of... much of anything around here is a huge driving factor. That and the political landscape of the area. If I was looking to raise a family (I am not), it would be much more compelling to stay.
But this is exactly my point. Apple is optimizing the wrong things (for me) because it's trying to build Cool New Things rather than things that are actually useful. My NUC looks perfectly fine, and it sits under my desk so no one ever sees it anyway. It is superior to a Mac Mini in every conceivable way. It's smaller and it costs less for the same tech specs. The only thing that a NUC doesn't do that a Mini does is run MacOS legally.
Fair enough. I’m hoping one day they just make some simple mo cap devices that let you control an in-game model and one person just uses a in-game camera like a FPS. Many of these game engines look good enough if you can just get a few people together to act out scenes and do camera work.
