Share state? I disagree heavily. There is no reason for the backend to know how many assets a user is trying to add to a loan, or delete, or accidentally load, or add but realize mid-way that it doesn't apply.

Do you belive the backend should know about human incorrect input and track state?

What if a cat steps on a keyboard? every addition to a form is a page reload and a query to the server. then the server sends a response.

Im sorry but living in a world of enterprise apps, the sentiment that JS is a poor language and a bad choice is both out of place and highly de-coupled from real-world usage.
People always talk about compound interest. Not enough people talk about compound waste heat.
Depends on who "we" is -- here, a bank is saying it is their prerogative to decide your access to banking based on arbitrary private charities that they like

As a matter of fact it is their prerogative. This indicates, i'd say, a failure of the state to provide access to what is now a basic need (banking).
Aren't these dynamics generally known as "fashion"?

There's probably tons of (academic and industry) research on the topic from sociological and economical aspects. Well, if not so much with a focus on how fashions emerge and manifest themselves within the field of programming, probably at least in many other fields.
Since you are finding about femto-photo today, I think you are gonna love this:

By the way. Femto laser are somewhat common nowadays. They are used in eye surgery and microscopy. I even seem papers talking about using them in finger print scanners! See Optical coherence tomography for more info.
If you don’t like the local government, in the extreme you can move. If you don’t like the world government, where are you going to go?

(Same argument applies today to the EU or US Federal government as well, for citizens who might be practically confined by the policy of those governments and unable to move outside their purview.)
If current pace of inflation persists, then you want to be in equities chasing cash flow in enterprises with pricing power. What you don’t want is to stay in cash.

And if inflation ebbs, you want the opposite.

Both outcomes are possible. So it's best to hold a well diversified portfolio and not try to time the market. Just rebalance once a year.
To quote wikipedia: To date, no widely accepted neural or computational models have been put forward to describe how mirror neuron activity supports cognitive functions.

There’s lots of guff in the media and lots of speculation in the discussion section of papers about what they might be important for in broad hand-wavy terms, but really we don’t have a good understanding of them.
I've heard this before. How can an army function without NCOs? Do they really have no sergeants or equivalent at all?
For germans like me, IFVs and armored artillery cars are tanks.

If every tank was an MBT, why add „main battle“ to the word at all?

So I think there are subtypes of tanks when we have subtypes of panzers.

UK law requires its 9 largest banks to offer fee-free basic bank accounts[1]. While that's not the same as a legal right to an account, it ensures people with poor credit history have access to banking -- it's pretty inclusive but IIRC does require an address -- the 'no fixed address' approach fixes that.

It's speculation on the future development of the company's performance, you aren't entitled to a share in the profit, but you often get one anyway in the form of dividends.

If you buy a stock on the open market you don't actually fund starting a real project, but you fund the continuing development and improvement of that project, it's driven by the fact that they have shareholders to answer to, and you are entitled to voting rights.

It has to have some amount of speculation, that's the driving force behind it, otherwise the whole thing would just stagnate and you have no incentive to improve a company and it will just get looted by its employees. In the big picture it just help collectively push for more efficient ways of working, and stop inefficient work.

It's not pure speculation in the sense that you are not betting on a random event like tomorrows weather in a zero sum game.
I am trying to finally learn what's going on in the web browser and my biggest hurdle has been CSS. I can read & write rules but the questions are really, which rules and under what circumstances? That plus the different layouts (grid, FlexBox, etc. -- terminology almost certainly wrong, sorry!). Can you please recommend a good resource for learning CSS & layouts?
Precisely. Good observation.

This sounds good in theory, but the way it’s implemented in Poland is a bit of a joke. The basic account must be your only bank account in Poland. You need to visit a bank branch to open it (for any other accounts, you can usually just take a selfie and a photo of your ID card), banks tend not to promote its existence and hide it in unguessable places on their websites, and there are some other random limitations (eg. no e-government access, no Google Pay). The basic account is free, has a free debit card, and has five free operations and five free ATM withdrawals. But normal accounts with cards cost nothing if you have some minimum usage, standard transfers done in online banking are free, and withdrawals in the bank’s own ATMs are usually free too.

The effect? Less than ten thousand basic accounts existed in 2020, two years after their introduction. (source in Polish: https://serwisy.gazetaprawna.pl/finanse-osobiste/artykuly/14...)
> But I need to be honest with you about what’s likely to unfold,” the doctor added. The best place for adolescents in distress was not a hospital but an inpatient treatment center, where individual and group therapy would be provided in a calmer, communal setting, to stabilize the teens and ease them back to real life. But there were no openings in any of the treatment centers in the region, the doctor said.

This is never really questioned. I have some doubts. Seems to me you’re more likely to see success with a radical life change. Moving far away to a different lifestyle.

Managing to prevent a suicidal person from committing suicide is a pretty weak target metric imo.

How many suicidal people are suicidal simply because the specific lifestyle before them is the only norm they know of and they just don’t want it?

Many people cite stats about how previously suicidal people are glad they didn’t commit suicide successfully but it’s got obvious survivor bias from those that did and don’t get a say.

I believe that's not incompetence but risk aversion. They're deathly afraid of trying anything that deviates from the norm because they will lose money if they don't make something that makes all focus groups happy.

is this why i have a monitor just playing various interviews im not interested in while im coding? I used to have a tiny black and white Bentley portable TV above my desk playing FOX all day long on low volume, then when that died, I moved to a separate monitor that currently appears to be running through police interrogations. anything at a constant volume, any type of long format talking, is what I go for. I always wondered what it was, because it doesnt have to be something im interested in, just a normalized volume with not a lot of noises punctuating it. I listen to a lot of loud music when Im not doing that. never knew this was due to adhd, I just assumed it was so that I don't hear boogers rustling around in my nose when breathing, or the sound of my heartbeat.
Long range attacks likely exist on any implementation. It has not been "solved", the buck has simply been passed to more motivated adversaries.

The most effective mitigation mentioned in the paper is the use of a "trusted" CPU module such as the Secure Enclave in Apple devices. Suffice to say, that's probably not going to see widespread adoption anytime soon and doesn't consider the other security problems inherent to such enclaves.
"There will eventually be some new disruptive innovation in communication that partially supplants what we now consider to be "social media"

First, my apology for the mis-post which was meant for discussDev.

I don't doubt that social media as we know it will be replaced. Whether it evolves or is replaced quickly by disruptive innovation remains to be seen. I don't think the media has been around long enough to make that call yet.

Alternatively, technology hasn't evolved sufficiently from its beginnings to provide a truly different type of service (as say the distinction between the telegraph and the telephone or radio and TV). Each of these was a disruptive innovation to its predecessor.

That said, social media will be faced with major technological changes at some point. The real question is whether it will be forced to change before then by social/political pressure because of its current perceived negative impact on society.

One thing's for certain, the periodicity between each disruptive innovation is continuing to shorten as it's always done since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.

I’m not sure what you’re trying to imply with the first paragraph, but let me tell you how it sounds to me:

“Hot take: people who have a different work style preference than me are inferior and damaged, and/or have motives which I despise or work a job I think is useless.”

Rethink this. These are your colleagues. Compassion for people who are different from you improves your own humanity and makes working with you more enjoyable.
It's ok if you have observations, considerations, criticism and questions about both the curriculum and the method. But if you consider it outright bad for teaching someone web development, like some commeners did, then why don't you consider it a provocation and build your own web development course and show how it can be done better?

Anyway, it's free and you are not forced to follow the course. You can extract bits you think might be useful.

I had a taste of that experience when I was an intern. Interned for a government contractor that did some classified work.

One year (one day actually) in a decade comes close to the very definition of a black swan event. :)

And yes, people will opt for convenience, not rational behavior:

In some cases, that black swan event will cost more than the cost of inconvenience. For example in the US, it is "inconvenient" to retrofit buildings to make them earthquake-resilient, but when the earthquake black-swan hits -and it will hit for sure, the only question is when- damages will be huge, and costs as much as 4 times higher than investments in earthquake-resilience today: https://www.optimumseismic.com/earthquake-preparedness/what-...

I'm sure Kahneman & friends have a name for this cognitive bias that somehow makes it hard for humans to correctly assess the risk and cost for black swan prevention (sometimes, because of the rarity, these computations in principle can't be made). This type of cognitive bias seems also connected with difficulties humans have in thinking on time scales that exceed their own life spans ...

Look, I’ve written a lot of powershell, and I don’t mind it at all, but its not surprising at all to me.

Powershell isn’t in the same problem domain as rust/go/Scala/python.

The niche it fills is “calling windows apis from c++” or, more recently, c#.

It’s less effort than that, so it’s useful, on windows.

It is not less effort than using say, a bash script on other platforms because it:

- does not provide unique access to proprietary windows apis (they don’t exist)

- is not installed by default

- does not conform to any standards other than it’s own

- no package manager that works

The question you should ask is: why given that, would you, given that you must install something, choose to install and use powershell instead of python?

There’s no reason. You’d have to specifically like powershell to bother.

Most people don’t care enough to be bothered. Surprise level: 0.

I'd go so far as to state that anyone who 'hates animations' uses them daily.

The ones you don't notice are most often good - yet they are there. You'll notice degrading UX when they aren't. The ones you notice are quite likely bad, but that doesn't make the majority of aniation bad.

Anything, from a blinking cursor, to the highlight effect on your smartphone keyboard to the check-uncheck of a checkbox is animated. Subtle, but crucial.
Wrong. Counts 9 to 17 of his indictment are for "Disclosure of Nation Defense Information". He IS indicted for broadcasting classified information.

There is also 1 count of "Conspiracy to Commit Computer Intrusion" which is minor compared to the 17 other indictments. It related to him trying to crack offline a password hash to let Manning log in as a different user. Which is assisting someone who does the actual collection of information.

The remaining indictments are for "Conspiracy to Receive" NDI or for obtaining it.

In other words he was embedded with the partisans and when asked to pass a box of ammo, did so. The hacking count can lead to 5 years in prison with possible parole. It's a tortured interpretation to suggest he hacked/blew up rail lines.

The rest, the REAL reason to pursue someone internationally for a decade for extraterritorial acts is for his journalistic function. To make an example. Otherwise this case would have been dropped.

Um, because I think words have meaning, and I think accusing people of actions that have legal implications when they are not in fact doing those things is bad.
I thought this was going to be about SaaS/PaaS type stuff. I've seen a lot of free tiers that seemed generous for pre-launch work, but instead of charging me $1/month for a dollar's worth of usage over the free tier, they have cliff based pricing where exceeding the free tier pushes you off into $25/month plan, then the next cliff is $75 or $500. Or worse, they adverse $X per "seat" with small letters saying minimum 5 seats.

These are products or services I genuinely want to pay for, but if my usage is essentially only the first $1 out of the required $25, I'm going to just use a $5 VPS for the same or higher specs.

Are the optimism and the desire for accountability simultaneous, or sequential? I think it's more of a sequential Gartner Hype Cycle thing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gartner_hype_cycle

As others have pointed out, the HN zeitgeist regarding crypto has changed significantly over time. Several years ago folks here were clearly at the
"peak of inflated expectations" phase. Currently we're in the "trough of disillusionment" phase.

The question is whether crypto will follow the rest of the curve or - as often happens but Gartner fails to note - just fall into the abyss. However, even according to the most optimistic reading, Twitter Guy is clearly several years slow on the uptake.

There have always been travelers in the world. They have long had friction with settled peoples who feel a fixed address is essential.

Even American military members have friction with the rest of America over this. It just gets mitigated by the fact that the federal government makes accommodations for them.

Military members historically had trouble opening local bank accounts so there are military banks on military installations and when I was a military wife I could cash a check at the PX/BX because banks don't like cashing out of town checks.
