It was useful for more than that. We built most of our COM components in C++. As we started prototyping COM components in VB... and discovered they were only about 5% slower and very easy to crank out. It was a heretical discovery kept very quiet.

>Targeted killing and assassination are two different things in the eyes of the law. Please stop conflating the two.

You're citing a memo written by the people who ordered the assassination. But we are a nation of laws, and there is no law that says the government can order your assassination without charging you with a crime, finding you guilty and sentencing you. Which at that point, makes it no longer an assassination but an execution. Without the judicial procedures to justify it, it's just an assassination with a memo written by the killers.

>“The process determining criteria for killing is not public…”

>Knowing about it is not very useful if you don’t know the criteria. It’s not very helpful at all, in fact, in determining legality here.

No, the fact that the government doesn't make the criteria public is exactly how we know it isn't legal. There is no judicial process tied to it that accords rights to the accused. Therefore it's unconstitutional by definition.

Oh, come on, that's a straw man.

Just because panic! exists as a "abort-program-with-a-message", does not mean it's somehow encouraged above using idiomatic error handling.

Just as you can do the same thing in languages with exceptions. Sometimes exiting the program is the right thing to do.
That is consistent with my experience

Interesting, I get it now.

They have "area zoning", which says "only single family homes may exist here".

Thus, changing this won't ban single family dwellings. Only enable other types of dwellings.

A strange concept, but OK. Understood, thanks.
You could run stuff asynchronously using a hidden window. Basically you could use the full win32 API and use VB procedures as callbacks (e.g. as window procedures for your own window subclass). The book “Hardcore Visual Basic” explained how to do it: https://classicvb.net/hardweb/hardbook.htm

The only place I've seen people using catch unwind was in Sentry library to catch panics. Needless to say that it was never used even before we removed all unwraps from the code.
This is wrong.

Zerodha was already India's largest broker more than a year before the pandemic happened[1]. The stuff mentioned in the post isn't something they're just starting to do now; they've been doing it since the beginning. They did benefit immensely from the pandemic stock frenzy, but they were very successful much before it happened.

I've been a user for more than three years, and have never seen a single pop-up or ad or basically any kind of nudge from Zerodha regarding signing up for any of their products. There are third-party add-ons (like Tickertape), but they explicitly make people aware that these are separate products with their own terms, conditions and fees if any. This is very much appreciated by users, and they tend to have fewer complaints per user in comparison to the competition[2].

They've grown primarily because they're good at what they do, and there is no catch regarding any of their products. Rest of the financial industry in India is a cesspool with a massive buyer-beware attitude, which is an instant turn-off for most people, but there weren't many other options until recently.

The one thing I find wrong about the post is that they aren't track-free; I notice Google Analytics being blocked on ublock origin. Hard to disagree with anything else.

I remembered that not so long ago I wrote a guide to cryptocurrency and blockchain. I was trying to keep it simple and plain, so even your grandma can understand it, hopefully.

I kept it on my laptop and forgot about it. I just wanted to share with you, no strings attached, after all, I did spend days researching and writing it, at least it might help someone.

So here it is, feel free to share, reuse, whatever (but at least leave some credits)

I don't think "engagement metrics" work. I mean, the objective of any business should be to make profit, so the metric that should matter is ultimately the average revenue per user. Engagement may in some cases correlate but why use a proxy when you can use the most important metric directly?

"engagement" only comes into play when you don't have a business model to begin with (and instead hope to carry on raising more VC money or sell to a bigger sucker) so that's the "best" you can do because your actual ARPU is negative.
No doubt there is a place (or indeed a need) for debug (or trace) logging in environments where you can’t simply pause execution.

However, in development environments you would be foolish not to use the (vastly superior) tooling available.

I think many developers shy away from debuggers simply because they haven't taken the time to understand how to use them effectively, whereas everyone knows how to write a log statement. In previous roles I have given guidance on usage to fellow team members. It makes a vast difference on the resolution time of reported issues.
"A low energy society is a poorer society" while you're right in general, in the west we can live far more efficiently than we do without really impacting our quality of life via things like longer product life cycles, more public transport, living closer to places we need so we don't have to travel so far every day, better distribution of resources. These things could be improved if society took enough interest. Still might not be enough and we have to beware of efficiency increases getting swallowed by increased use, but my point was it's not 100% true.

Both vb.net and C# compile to the same bytecode. So fundamentally, if you code for a hobby or are a lone coder, it's down to what you prefer (I prefer vb.net over C#), however organisations made it clear early on that C# was much preferred so that's what prevailed.

If I'm quickly knocking up a small GUI utility then the drag-drop building nature of a vb.net forms app is a real time saver - but in contrast you have more flexibility if you build controls via code like C# does.... horses for courses really.

Bizarrely, I've recently started exploring using C# as a CGI back-end via .NET core on Linux... for the simple reason that I can. Apparently it can be quite performant.

> Unfortunately, the rep insisted that all telcos would follow suit, and there would be no phones used without 5G compatibility soon.

This has approximately zero chance of being true. For instance, all iPhones before iPhone 12 lacked 5G. There's no way AT&T or any major carrier will get away with nuking support for iPhone 11, XS, X, 9, or 8. Probably not even iPhone 7, which still supports the latest version of iOS.
And you can either stick with the same version/featureset, or time upgrade outages to periods when you know your operations won’t be impacted.
> And the situation in Ukraine was manufactured by Russia on purpose.

That makes no sense at all [0], it wasn't Russian politicians that went to Euromaidan to rile the people there up how more negotiations would be "Not enough" [1], that were pretty much Western, and particularly US politicians and "their people" in Ukraine, like Arseniy Yatsenyuk [2].

Who Victoria Nuland called "our man in Ukraine" when discussing how to grandfather in his new Ukrainian government at the UN [3]

Even Germany threw in their bid for new PM of Ukraine, with a German national [4], thus Klitschko didn't even qualify for that position without an Ukrainian citizenship.

I guess they could have done it like with Natalie Jaresko, an American banker who ended up becoming the new Ukrainian minister of finance, got her Ukrainian citizenship the same day she was sworn in as minister [5].

This whole situation also lead to the Russian military having massive supply issues, as East Ukraine used to be rather integral manufacturing hub for Russian military arms [6]. Why would Russia want to "manufacture" losing all of that?

> It's true that USA has done some terrible things in the past. And it's too bad the perpetrators never got punished. But it doesn't mean we should tolerate this behaviour elsewhere.

The US still is doing these things, US troops still illegally occupy territories in places like Cuba and Syria. US drones and Special forces still kill people in at least half a dozen countries [7], with the help of countries that allegedly condone wars of aggression [8], Gitmo is still open and nobody knows how many more like it secretly exist.

In that context I find it fascinating how US war crimes are always declared like this thing from a far flung past that simply doesn't matter anymore, to then turn around and demand how the whole world should punish Russia for war crimes like its the next Nazi Germany.

Which I totally could get behind, if this was the universal reaction to such acts of aggression, but it absolutely is not. That's only the reaction when established "rogue nations" aka the alleged "bad guys" engage in such aggression, thus it can be exploited to support US foreign policy narratives.

I have the same problem and my take on the learning problem is: caring about something is an important part of learning. I remember also that I had a lot if patience for things years ago, but somehow I don't really have that any more. Partly because I think / feel some things are more complicated than they should be. I don't care about all the tiny caveats anymore. But also because of what I think is the burnout part, which is the feeling that it's never going to stop, there will always be something else to start over from scratch.

Is there a solution? Maybe focusing on acquiring knowledge that has a more lasting value. There was a post recently about finding work as a more niche developer. Maybe a break to refocus which is what I am doing, and maybe starting something completely new.

Good luck.
> The prohibition on public officials denying people rights without due process required by the federal and state constitution isn't a “national policy lens” that is inapplicable to “very local matters”.

Arguably these injunctions aren't too different from spousal abuse or harassment restraining orders, ignoring some technical legal issues regarding scope and cognizable claim. There is process--whether it's "due process" is the question. Certainly there seems to be greater due process than gang injunctions, which are constitutional under current Supreme Court precedent, as the requested injunctions were on named individuals with a history of drug dealing that would need to be satisfactorily shown in court. Compare to gang injunctions, which AFAIU merely required a showing that a particular person was in an enjoined gang. From opinion synopses, the injunctions seem to have been rejected primarily because of their scope--geographic area encompassing important regional government services, and excessive duration. The appellate opinion, contrasting with the trial court, says this specifically--"we are not prepared to hold that a stay-away order could never be a potential remedy...."

I won't dispute that as an end-run around the DA (i.e. but-for the DA, everybody agrees the proper course of action would be to seek an injunction specifically as part of conviction), it's barely defensible, if at all. But the fact the city is seeking them is not evidence of a fundamental shift in San Francisco city official's criminal justice reform efforts writ large. Yet that's exactly what Boudin will claim and is claiming as part of his campaign to defeat recall--that everybody but him is committed to meaningful reform, and all those opposing him (especially those supporting his recall) wish to return to the tough-on-crime policies of decades past.
> In NZ we have created a culture that obsesses with house prices. It's been this way since at least 2000, if not earlier. Many peoples retirements plans hinge on them being landlords or holding large amounts of property.

Canada and New Zealand are similar in that respect. There are a sizable number of people with "investment properties", but the majority of homeowners own a single home and are counting on the price to rise indefinitely to fund their retirement.

Economists and politicians regularly brag about how much 'wealth' the average Canadian has; in reality, being able to sell your house for 1.5MM isn't that much of a windfall when other houses are at least 1MM and rising rapidly, and renting is more expensive than having a mortgage.
I am actually amazed this does not happen more often.
From the article:

>That said, he warns that a bid too precise may make the bidder look suspicious, or even ridiculous, to the recipient. Bidding $1.03 million for a house is one thing. Bidding $1,033,235.83 is another.

>If a bid is too precise, it may strike as strategic to the recipient, rather than being driven by superior information,” Keloharju says. “This may lead the recipient to rethink whether the bid is really informed.”

So I think $153k is an ok level of precision. $153,900 is starting to be “too precise”. $150k is definitely too round. It’s all a personal judgement call on how precise one should go but I think it’s easy to see what is too extreme (with cents in it in this case).

In my experience, the only way of getting some decision power is moving into management. Even team lead roles don't count and don't give you any ownership over the product direction.

In big tech engineers are generally trusted more, but still product ownership is dedicated to management.

Hey, the first time I visited Vietnam I was blind tired from traveling, sat down at an outdoor restaurant on a kindergarten sized chair, got a warm beer and looked at a menu where everything was in Vietnamese. The only thing in English was "AMERICAN BEEFSTEAK". So I ordered that (dumb, sure, but they were really amused to have an actual American there. It was a really fun scene, late night and lit up, busy joint).

I'm pretty much 100% certain that what came out of the kitchen was a filet of dog. It was a piece of meat. It was a bit charred. Definitely neither pork nor beef. But red. Thin, like it was from alongside the ribs of a medium sized animal. Gamey. A bit stringy. Tough. I ate it, but I cried inside. (My ex got some nameless white fish from the Mekong and was sick for a couple days, so I was kinda lucky).

So yeah, watch out for when they translate you into "American-style" something. What they usually mean is "barbarian" lol
I liked this idea in principle but in practice I found there's just too many debugPrint() lines cluttering the code, and too much overwhelming console spam, so it's not worth it to keep around debug logging (or taking the time to decide what is worthwhile to keep).

When I fix a problem gnarly enough to require lots of logging everywhere, once I've tidied up I write a detailed comment or other documentation, and/or use unit tests to make sure the problem stays solved. The logging code doesn't get committed, which also helps keep the fixed code clear in the diff.

For the kinds of programs I usually write, I've settled on only using printing/logging for major events and for things that aren't errors but might require developer attention.
