Depending on how you handle it.

Sometimes it does outright, see Heroku, or AWS Lambda.

Sometimes you try to bite more than you feel comfortable to chew, and get bogged down configuring kubernetes or terraform when you don't need as much.

In the simplest case, I think, the cloud is also an inevitability. Can you imagine starting up by buying some used servers, colocating them in some datacenter, calling an operator when they need tweaking a BIOS setting, scheduling a visit and downtime when you need to replace a failing NIC, or a degrading HDD? This is what life without the cloud used to look like. Yes, a EC2 instance is cloud.

Of course you can try a middle ground, dedicated hardware managed by a provider, e.g. what Hetzner offers. If your load is very stable and predictable, your stack is very simple and mature (an RDBMS + Apache + PHP, ore maybe Erlang / Elixir), and you are ready to either keep a hot spare or sustain rare but prolonged downtimes, you'd be fine with a small amount of dedicated hardware.

A large amount of dedicated hardware may be economical, but only at quite large scale (see, well, Facebook).
Honestly I'll rather prefer a bigger multi-threading/MP usage to reduce deadlocks because Emacs is an ecosystem, even reducing it's startup time to the minimum it will never be like Vim, those who do not use EXWM simply can run Emacs daemon at their desktop startup to much with the client Vim startup time, BUT those who use Emacs as a DE like me I bet all prefer far less freezing like during packages upgrades, feeds fetching, Gnus etc vs the not really relevant startup time...

I'd wager a miniscule amount of people know how to do this.
I've been using ZSH ever since macOS moved to using it as the default shell. I honestly can't say I've noticed any differences. What are some features I should be using to get the most out of ZSH?
In addition to mschuster91's point, you should know that the cap only applies to four party scheme card transaction interchange, not to scheme fees nor to your acquirer's fees. In reality you will pay somewhere between 0.9% and 2% for your transactions, whereas local schemes can be as cheap as 0.2% or even pennies.

Compared to the US's 1.15%~2.7% +10ct interchange (not including other fees!) it's still quite cheap.
I run weather data API (oikolab.com) focusing on historical data. Take a look at weatherdownloader.oikolab.com or climate-explorer.oikolab.com for examples and feel free to reach out if you'd like to try playing with the data for visualization. The data is from ECMWF and goes back to 1950 (I process them to make it faster to access as time-series).
> And my opinion is that the user is at fault for consuming unhealthy amounts of X, but that we as society should help out

We have different views here, even though I admit, I used to be ambivalent about that (and about drug legalisation) until very recently. I mean, I would certainly not criminalise drug possession and drug use like it unfortunately still is the case in my country (Romania), but I've started having very serious doubts about legalising distribution, and in so doing "normalising" said drug use.

Back to unhealthy food, unfortunately some people are too weak to resist eating above a certain healthy threshold. There were studies that blamed the food companies themselves for that, there are other people that blame the users themselves (like you seem to do), but in the end the unhealthiness wins. That's why if the unhealthy source goes away (like in this case with Russia and McDo) I see it as a positive, no matter who was at fault the rot source is gone, that's got to be good.
I'm glad you and the one above you said it. My addiction to discord scares me more than anything - because everyone else on there is extremely mentally ill... So why am I drawn there?

Oh no!
Ok that makes sense. You don't need something as powerful as Copilot for that kind of boilerplate though, there have been "snippets" / macro things for that for forever.

My bigger annoyance is when I want to write non-trivial functionality that works for different data types.
I am very confused by everyone abusing YAML for weird crap. For me YAML is just an alternative to writing an application.properties file (in Spring or Micronaut).

Yes I do use environment variables for secrets/passwords but that is about it.
> Eventually you outgrow the cloud provider and go into a data center. By that point you’re talking number of racks vs VMs.

How many companies actually hit this stage? I can only think of a few, and usually it's because they have very specific hardware requirements (e.g. Dropbox's whole business is file storage, or if you're doing something that requires tons of GPUs).

The problem with micropayments is nontrivial.

In order to make micropayments work, you need to

1. have some sort of personal money-holding folder (it's so hard to avoid the word 'wallet' here), that you can easily fill (e.g. via your credit card). This moneyholder needs to be sufficiently safe for use, and should be password-protected. Ideally, it's a function or tightly integrated with your browser.

2. The website itself needs a moneyholder, though this could conceivably be implemented with limited functionality.

3. An easy to implement way to have small transactions from your moneyholder to the moneyholder of a website. To avoid creating issues around money laundering, the maximal height or a daily limit for transaction to one destination could be considered.

4. A legal way to retrieve funds from that moneyholder.

That's the easy part. Now consider the following:

1. The system should be useable regardless of the participants countries of origin, even in countries that have a cash culture and little implementation of credit cards...

2. ... but must adhere to international and national legislation (looking at you, Russian/Iranian/Cuban sanction regime)

3. A certain level of anonymity is advisable. The newsman at the newsstand has no idea what my name or address is when I buy a newspaper, and neither should the micropayment merchant.

4. Transactions need to be failsafe and fast. I don't want to first click through four layers of login screens and read an email before I get to reading the article I was about to buy.

5. Somehow, whoever manages this system needs to make enough money to support infrastructure and engineers, plus a profit. (The most easy way would be to demand a 5% processing fee for sending money into the moneyholder... I can see that approach failing for psychological reasons, though ("I put 20 dollars in there, why is my balance only 19$?")

All current net payment schemes fail in one of these fields. Paypal is comparatively fast and ubiquitous, but fleeces people with their fees. Cryptocurrencies are often slow - and processing fees are no joke, not to being with the volatility issues. I think GNU Taler [1] is interesting, but that by necessity would become a regional solution linked to local banks at best.

For whatever reason you seem to be conflating the needs of the local dictators like Castro and Putin with the people they are ruling over. I'm not sure they are necessarily the same all the time.
That's awful.

In my experience, there are usually (at least) three reasons for that to happen - i.e. you getting rejected after a seemingly impeccable interview:

1) They already had a candidate they wanted to hire, but have some internal hiring protocol / process they must follow.

2) You and the other candidate(s) were incredibly similar, but one had to go.

3) Everyone but one senior decision maker liked you. Could have been for whatever reason. We like to think that most companies have a somewhat democratic recruitment panel, where all the decision makers get a (somewhat) equally weighted say. But some places, it's more like gatekeeper after gatekeeper...you might get passed all the previous ones, but not the last one.
> In other words, your CTO and the devs have to look at your future product roadmap and see which features would require extra developer costs in re-inventing aspects of AWS/Azure that may negate the cost savings of a "dumb" IaaS like Hetzner.

If there are actual development costs from moving from Azure to dedicated servers then they've already coupled to Azure and at a very early stage. The point of giving credits paid for for Microsoft. It would also seem they've unknowningly coupled too which should be worrying. I would be very worried about a CTO who unknowningly coupled to anything.
I usually just turn my phone off if I need to focus. If someone /really/ needs to reach me they could always call my workplace. And I avoid phone communication at all cost anyway.

I realise this is not an option for everyone of course. There's also apps that allow you to time lock your phone with exceptions for important things. Protip: set it up so you can get around it by rebooting the phone, in case you forgot to whitelist something, etc. Smartphones are painfully slow to boot anyway, so it still helps discourage the constant distraction if you can muster the will power to not do the reboot. More effort means you consider it rather than reflexively do it.
I sure hope not. I'm not going to be able to come up with specific policy prescriptions that satisfy every outcome personally.

I think it's a case of setting the goal, evaluating individual policies that move towards it, assessing the risks and then trialling them - rolling out the ones that seem to work and discarding those that have unacceptable issues. You can't necessarily do everything that satisfies an aim but you can make big moves in that direction and still get most of the benefit.

Tens of Millions of U.S. Properties Face Wildfire Risk, New Study Says
Great board but in retrospect, I do enjoy a dedicated number row, as they get way too often combined in chord shortcuts like Ctrl+Alt+1 to hide them for my usecases. I own a Planck, but in retrospect I should have went with the Preonic. Planck is a little bit much in terms of layer dancing for me, made it work with my Iris which has a number row (on top of the small thumb cluster).

All in all, I still find 40% to be on the annoying to use side. But I really love that those boards even exist in the first place, so many possibilities.
>If people will submit to it, if it provides a more reliable signal of likely success than degrees or certifications do

I agree with the general premise (this wouldn't happen if people finally stood up against it), but this has yet to be proven. Hiring absolutely isn't grounded in reality as much as it likes to think it is, even if the arguments sound rational beyond surface level.

Additionally I feel most companies severely underestimate the costs of this entire circus, and overestimate the risks and cost of bad hires. But that's not something I can back up with numbers.
Does anybody know what the situation is in the rest of China? I hear there are a couple of strict lockdowns in other cities, and some districts of Beijing. China has in the past justified their harsh measures because the relative majority could live without Covid restrictions (and illness and deaths of course). It would be interesting to see what portion of the population is on lockdown, but it is hard to find good sources in English.
As someone that uses them from time to time, I have then had to then explain to colleagues what they are doing (and yes I consider this when I use it, whether that is worth the tradeoff).

Personally, I like to extract larger arrow functions and I am a fan of traditional function declarations in some situations over `const x = () => {}` style function assignment (I feel the latter unnecessarily clutters up code above the logic of the specific component, service or module since it must be declared prior to being used.) Those preferences do lead to needing an understanding of bind, call and apply. Or maybe understanding bind, call and apply lead to me feeling comfortable using those patterns?

Edit to add a bit of history: I started doing this when writing a fair amount of jQuery with a lot of event handlers. And while anonymous or arrow functions worked, the code was soo much cleaner when you put the handler functions below the regular logic. If someone wants to see what a handler function does, it's easy to go down and look, but otherwise, a good name is all that is important. These days, I follow similar patterns, extracting code that doesn't need to be inline into a function that can be referenced as needed, but doesn't need to be inline in the code all of the time.
Omicron one or another, but the lockdown is due to China's ruthless zero cases policy; they've closed down ports, cities, etc to curtail the virus.

I think it WAS successful for a while; afaik they didn't get much Delta cases or deaths, and their economy could keep going while the rest of the world was going into lockdown.

If I’m satisfied enough with the money I’m getting for the position I’m working that I’m not looking to leave, how is that not just “paid?”

Flipping it around, if the company isn’t ready to fire me for underperforming, does that make underworked?
Is it? There was a ~30 day lockdown. China does strict lockdowns relative to the US or Europe. Car purchases could just be deferred a month, so there would be an economic impact, but the one-month blip wouldn't be indicative of any long-term problem.

I went through a phase where I was buying oranges and preparing fresh juice everyday at home. About a month or so into it, I bought packaged juice - it tasted like crap. My brain had gotten used to the real stuff and the difference was night and day. Eventually my laziness got better of me and I got tired of buying and carrying loads of oranges but that experience completely turned me off from packaged juice.

I guess the use-case just isn't that popular. It's a good website if you want to learn what some devs are up to, but barely anyone cares about that.
Most people use search engines to find answers to their questions and Search My Site just doesn't work like that.
Sure. The things you mention (Compliance, privacy, legal, internal tooling) also have to grow together with the number of developers to scale. Not only those, but also support, QA, management, UX/UI. All those ares have to increase when the dev headcount increases. But since most of those need some degree of centralization and coordination, they can't escape communication overhead and orgs slow to a crawl.

Also, software development teams have to assume more responsibilities just to escape this communication/interconnection overhead: devops is a good example, you no longer have to depend on another team, but now you gotta do operations yourself. An example of avoiding interconnection overhead is having isolated services: now you don't run queries on team Y's database, but you still have to maintain that data on your own DB. Isolation is a good alternative, but it also has its costs.

Unless we're talking about 7000 software developers working on 400 completely different and completely isolated products and answering to different people, there's gonna be a lot of invisible communication overhead, or overhead because of the need to work together with the other 6999. We developers tend to abstract it as being "part of the job", even though it is definitely non-essential complexity.

Even consulting companies doing different projects can fall prey to that: I know lots of cases of internal frameworks/libraries/UI-toolkits being adopted to accelerate development, but they ended up being a bottleneck in development because the team that owned had a full backlog.

> if it provides a more reliable signal of likely success than degrees or certifications do

Does it though? Has anyone done any form of analysis to show it works? I know my boss a few years back asked about asking technical questions and HR said we had to run a real scientific experiment to prove it works, basically a round of technical interviews, but the technical interviewers write down a score but are not invited to the actual decision process, then after 6 months we open the score and see if it correlates at all to on the job performance. When we interview there is a set of questions we are allowed to ask/score on (HR says they have run the data to prove those results make a difference)

Most companies could get just as good results if they put all resumes in a box and do a random drawing to figure out who to hire.

Personally, if your CTO is already talking about worrying about resources, then I would be telling them they're moving to dedicated servers.
I have some insight in this as I'm currently building a very similar project myself. I'm using off-the-shelf components and the relatively cheap USB driver board for the 10.3" ePaper display is more than capable enough of showing a variety of content. Typing in a document or code is plenty fast, scrolling a webpage is usable, but you'd probably want to use PgUp/PgDown, moving the mouse around is fine but I'm using a tiling window manager to avoid having to drag windows around. I'm able to drive video, but it's quite choppy. In general small updates are plenty fast (like showing characters next to a cursor) and big updates are slow (like full screen video playback). Playing video in a small window is fine if you just want to get some information out of it.

All these speeds are in a dithered 1-bit mode though. As soon as you start playing around with grayscale things starts going slow (you essentially need to display N levels of grayscale as N frames). The system I'm using is capable of updating parts of the display in 1-bit mode and others in "high-fidelity" 16 levels mode. This means that I could e.g. tell it that my picture viewing program should use the full quality mode, and my text editor should use the fast mode. Since I'm using a tiling window manager opening a picture would then use about a second to display the image, but once it's there I could type into a window next to it at full speed. It could also allow me to highlight areas to redraw in high-quality mode if I was browsing a website for example and wanted to watch a particular image.

I fear that Google also has a conflict of interest here. A lot of these non optimized sites are not interested in making money via ads. So Google wouldn't profit additionally from leading people there.

And a lot of people (myself often times included) are looking for a quick answer. A good enough answer. So good enough, SEO optimized is being surfaced. The result of an optimization war on both sides combined with the inevitable monetary interests.

I don't habe a solution. Sadly.

In Germany this is called "Gratismut" (gratis bravery). It's the current thing to hate Russia, so they don't lose anything by doing a passionate write-up about it. McDonald's also wants to convince you that they have any values, but in reality they have no problem with horrendous human rights violations in other countries.
JSON and Virtual Columns in SQLite
Honestly I don't... YAML is more compact but still hyper verbose and hyper rigid respect of XML witch is the same respects the older SGML. The old new trend is going through real programming languages instead of dedicated data-formats, from those who use Python or DHall or those who prefer lisp to be in a more civilized land...

Just compare Ansible/Salt YAML+python (because you can't do anything YAML-only) to Guix System, just see k*s YAML or Home Assistant ones: they are horrible to manage by a human. They are not much effective respect of anything else for a machine.

Long story short IMVHO it's about time to recognize that the old "data and language together" is the way to go, erasing common DSLs/formats/parsers etc.
"y" is similarly afflicted.

There are rumors than President Xi has been using the coronavirus outbreak as a convenient excuse to knock the "Shanghai clique" down a few pegs.
