People use paypal for this in Europe

EDIT: Ok, maybe just in Germany.

And just to be clear: Paypal is an adverse company that tries to trick its users on every page.
For python code, yeah, most of it.

Python does sometimes have backwards-incompatible changes, e.g. for 3.10 they removed a bunch of stdlib modules and methods, like the "formatter" and "parser" module [0].

So if you used those, your code wouldn't work in 3.10.

But the main reason to wait for wheels (which is pythonese for "pre-built packages") is if they use native code (like C or rust) and you would have to compile them yourself otherwise, which increases installation time quite a bit.

(this was also the reason why Alpine was a bad choice for python containers for a long time because it uses musl and there were only wheels for glibc available. AFAIK musl wheels exist now so that isn't relevant anymore)

I’ve heard this natural-filter technique referred to as “time-shifting,” and it helps me a lot too. I’ll throw stuff I find on my “daily notes” page and rely on revisiting it later.
I think the main problem is C modules. CPython only maintains ABI compatibility across minor releases (e.g. 3.10.0 and 3.10.8), so you may need a different binary compiled for CPython 3.9 and 3.10. https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/stable.html
> Your main resource contention there would be network throughput, then broker CPU time

The default consumer read sizes are so small you will hit broker CPU and worker thread limits long before network throughput. (Both consumer batch sizes and broker threads can be increased trivially but there's not much documentation around when to do this.)
Yep, that'll make things better.

I got handed off a little online customer service chat application at a previous job, it had been written by someone I put at a similar skill level as mine but with different personality traits. One of his personality traits was to code to the spec and not consider "what if it changes".

This online chat had two functionalities, chat with a worker a and leave a message from worker with suggestions as to what to look at in response, there was no connection between these two functionalities specified and so my friend had written it without connection, it was difficult without doing a full rewrite to get state information from one part of the application to another one (this was written in JQuery)

Anyway, 6 months+ down the line it got respecified, now it needed shared state between the two parts of the application, which meant either significant rewrite or hacks, so hacks was chosen. Ugly hacks but worked (I think ugly hacks was the correct choice here definitely because chat application almost completely scrapped a year later for a bot)

After I was done I said "but why write it like that?" It was specified no state was needed between the two parts, "yeah but it should be obvious that is going to change, they would keep wanting to add functionality to it and probably share state as to the two communications channels"

tldr: there are some potential changes that seem more likely than others, and the architecture should take those potential changes into consideration.

Possessive is different from both greedy and lazy. It's like greedy except that it won't give back anything it matches, even if doing so would be necessary for the full pattern to match. See https://stackoverflow.com/q/5319840/7509065 for a more detailed explanation.
I've been coding professionally for about 10 years but I'm absolutely humbled every time I stumble on Justine's blog
Lazy will match as minimally as possible, in contrast to greedy which match as much as possible. Both lazy and greedy quantifiers will backtrack to allow overall regex to match.

Possessive on the other hand will not backtrack (unless it is part of a group having lazy/greedy quantifiers).

A simple example: `error.*valid` or `error.*?valid` will match `error: invalid input` but `error.*+valid` will no match because `.*+` will consume rest of the characters without giving back to allow overall regex to match.
Lately I have been experimenting with geometry nodes as a kind of CAD modeling. You can create inputs (for example thickness) as constraint. This works but is a lot of work. So this plugin looks very helpfull.

But in the end Blender is mesh based. So for round models you need a lot of vertices or else it will be inaccurate (subdivision modeling doesn't make it more accurate, it does only make it smoother).
Show HN: Arttime – CLI art meets functionality
arttime brings curated text-art to otherwise artless terminal emulators of starving developers (and other users who can use terminal emulators). While doing so, it blends display of art (a not-so-techie thing) with functionality of a nifty clock/timer which is a retake on the stereotypical alarms/timers. With one line of title message under the art, it also provides one line of opportunity for developers to display their activism (a not-so-techie thing either) or just attach a functional message for themselves for usual developer activity on terminal (like "debug the failing build tonight").
It's nice to see this new technique to announce something in the field of infotech tooling. "Discovered..."
Wrong.

71 million alive in 2019 of 76 million born[0]. If the oldest boomer is 76 now, their life expectancy is over 10 years[1]. Most boomers have more years life expectancy than that i.e. most boomers will live longer than 10 years. And in a couple one will live longer, perhaps not releasing a house.

Aside: most people mentioning “boomers” normally are saying something offensive - similar to making inane stereotypical comments about disabled people as an example. The term is very American-centric, and in my country the word mostly is used offensively. We mostly don’t know what gen__ means either.

Edit: 25% of boomers don’t own a home. Today, white millennials are almost three times as likely as Black millennials to own their homes. If you are white, then every time you make a comment about a group that has it better off than you, lookout behind you. Goes double for complaints about the wealthy if you live in the US: you are the wealthy from the point of view of most people in the world.

Disclaimer: I am not a boomer.

Your post before your edit made no sense so don't give us that "SMH" BS.
What I didn’t see discussed was the possibility of the reverse causation. People that have more diseases spend less time outside and therefore have lower levels of vitamin D.

Would explain why vitamin D supplements don’t seem to work in the studies mentioned in the article.

SQLite is your file format. If your use case is poorly dealt with by using files it's poorly dealt with by using SQLite. But a _lot_ of things actually work fine with a file backing until they need to scale, and most projects that use SQLite never need that scale. But when they do, unlike a home-rolled file formats, SQLite has "prepping your data for importing into a real data store" baked right in.
Quick queuing theory recap: independent requests arriving at ~1000/s and each taking ~1 ms will, in the presence of any variability at all, be guaranteed to lead to an infinite backlog of unserved requests.

No, text on a canvas is a somewhat obvious nightmare.

No, we must go simpler.

left-pad: you need to account for wide characters, such as CJK characters but also emoji, you need to account for things like combining characters, etc. left-pad is not some trivial function.

Of course, the infamous left-pad package was widely mocked "why do you need a whole package for such a simple task" — so simple, indeed, that it failed to handle many of those cases. But don't worry, it's been standardized now as padStart() … and still fails those cases:

> 'e\u0301'.padStart(2)
'é'

Okay, strings aren't simple! But numbers, numbers are fine right?

So then, Go issue #4594, "add a Round function [to Go]"[1]. Go maintainer Ross Cox suggests that "it's a one liner" and suggests … a buggy implementation. There are a total of no less than 6 different implementations in the issue, and every single one of them is buggy. The bug is closed, the function is "too simple" to add. Thankfully, the wound gets reopened nearly a half-decade later in #20100. Another buggy implementation is suggested in that thread, and thankfully, Go gets a round function. (A non-buggy one … I think.)

Is it that drivers wearing helmets take greater risks, or that drivers in more risky settings opt more often to wear helmets? Who can tell?
That was their point
Carbon capture is extremely energy intensive and will never work without significantly increasing our energy production. The only way out of the climate crisis is to massively increase, not decrease, the amount of energy available to us
Direct IO is not finicky (on Linux, since 2.4 era kernels). It's just that at least with dd, if you don't know what it does then it probably does not do what you want (synchronous, single queue depth). If you know what you want and know what it does, then it's fine to use, and can be useful (I used it today to measure block device interrupt latency in a VM).
People coming to grips that drastic things actually need to be done now to fight climate count.

At the meta level there has been science and policy activity around these "positive tipping points towards sustainability" as well.
Their argument is that riders with helmets take more risk. I'd argue this is likely wrong causality. It seems far more likely that those in more risky settings (e.g. streets without cycle paths) are more likely to wear helmets.
I live in Northern Europe and I've never heard of anyone using Paypal for anything other than paying for things online. Each country has their own specific service that the majority uses (MobilePay, Siirto, Swish, etc).
Google Pay ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.and... ) can store my Tate and National Trust membership cards, my EU COVID passport (proof of vaccination and booster), as well as boarding passes. And it's smart enough to expire out cards from the pass as expired memberships or flights that have flown.

Anything that can be represented in a barcode or QR code can be stored in it. Which of course turns out to be a lot of things, payments are just one part of it.

Of the eight vehicles I currently own, 5 of them are Fords, one is a Nissan, one is a Mazda, and the last is a Chevrolet.

I own two Broncos - (the early Bronco needs a full resto since I completely wore it out in the first 325k miles), an F150 single cab (the only 2WD of the group), a Ranger, and an Explorer. With the exception of the early Bronco these are all daily drivers. I would have no qualms about taking them on a road trip of any length or duration.

I have owned a 96 F250 Crew cab diesel that I traded years ago and instantly regretted since it was my only pickup at the time, and a 95 F150 supercab and 85 single cab F150.

Our experiences obviously differ. I bought the early Bronco with ~100k miles on it and added ~235k before the drivetrain was worn out. The OBS Bronco, the F250 and the F150 I no longer own were all bought new. We have logged more than 550k miles on those three.

The OBS Bronco is now 30 years old. I replaced the original transmission at 247k miles and the original engine at 273k miles. With suspension and drivetrain maintenance I recently completed it runs and drives like a new vehicle. I do the maintenance myself. It isn't hard. Parts are relatively cheap and widely available.

It's too bad you hate Ford. I have had minor issues with the ones I've owned.

Good luck with your Dodge.

EDIT: Of the vehicles I've owned, the Nissan Pathfinder has probably held up the best. It has 260k miles on it over 21 years and the interior looks lightly used and has never had a part break or fail. The 90's Bronco and F-series trucks I have now and have owned did have broken plastic (door panels, dash bezel, console lids) usually from normal maintenance at dealerships where techs break something and never tell you. That's why I do my own work. Ford switched plastics to more flexible plastic in the 2000's and now things bend instead of breaking. Even if Ford did have shitty plastic interior parts they are still miles better than anything VW sold in the US. Their plastic is half the thickness of Ford plastic and ABS so it will break before bending. Their gussets are literally less than 1 mm by caliper measurements.
this would be awesome unfortunately it does not work for me (Brave browser)
As a South American I respectfully disagree on this.

As you mentioned scale I will cite Brazil as a baseline since we’re talking about US here.

Even in one of the most {corrupt, poorest} places in the world the entire infrastructure of what we know as public health care was built in a timespan of 28 years, serving a population equivalent with USA with a more pulverised population (e.g. see the demographic composition of Amazonas and Pará states).
As far as I know obesity declines with wealth. I'm not sure you should classify it as a side effect of prosperity. Most countries are able to provide more than enough calories for their populace, that's a fairly out-of-date measure of prosperity.

Exactly. Fancy electronics are secondary to the Mark I Eyeball. Lighthouses are still incredibly useful in low visibility situations such as heavy fog.
There are several reasons for this.

One being that we currently can not (currently legally) use deadly force to protect property like they can in Texas..

Although the desire to change that is changing bit by bit every week as hundreds of cars are broken into every week (and have been).

Two is that cops here have not pursued car break-ins very well imho. Even when you call them with video evidence, a license plate, full description of act in progress.. crickets.. everyone knows this - and it makes it worse.

I went to a MNPD meeting a couple years ago and they had proof that criminals were targeting two particular locations in the area in which the business had the TSA thing Posted saying you have to leave guns in your car, can't being them in.

Another factor is that juveniles have particular high reward and low risk of punishment. Everyone knows it - and they use it to their advantage a lot. There's nest cam video of one woman following her kids in her car while they hit car after car / house after house.

Every other week the cops put our a report saying lock your car, so many guns stolen this week - blah blah.. it's like they are blaming the victims instead of helping to do more policing.

This isn't a dig at the cops - I get it, they are understaffed, have lots of priorities and even when they catch people they often do no time.. so why go chasing after some kids that are likely to shoot back at you (which they did to some cops about 18 months ago or so)

Yes other reasons include that there are lots of guns in and around Nashville. So the odds of getting one when you break into a car are higher than in NY or Frisco I guess.

Another thing is that gun safes for a car are not optimal at this time. Sure if you have a one of the few vehicles they make direct fit safes for, you can spend a couple bills and get a good one - but we need better options.

There are of course many other factors, income inequality and so many other things of course, it's a long list, I hate to see people try to point at any one thing and say 'yeah if that then this would't be a thing' -

So I've been brainstorming this now again for a while, and chatted with an auto-body shop guy for a bit and am thinking of a combination of an existing safe option that is around 20 bucks combined with a metal U that goes around the part of the passenger seat thing and locks similar to a clamp on cables like a dog runner - this kind of thing could make a huge impact and I should spend some more time on it.
I don't think you understand how USDC's redempetion works. It's not a website accessible by anyone open for redemptions 24/7. Read on that first before discussing this topic please.
That's a nice theory, but then you run into the people who think that all regulations should be abolished and that free markets will solve all problems.

They fail to understand that in this modern political Citizens United world, there are no free markets. All markets are inherently distorted by the companies trying to corner their markets so that they can charge whatever they want and suck up all the money in the universe.
I don't think it's fair to compare it to before it was habitable by humans. Whenever someone brings up the topic of climate change, it's to discuss the changes making the world less habitable for present day living beings.
To be clear, I would prefer to be incorrect, but this is a hard-earned cynicism.
Unless there exists some weird guideline that says “use sunscreen and go out in the strongest sunlight doing noon” I find your comment completely baffling.

Sunscreen recommendations as I commonly encounter them are to stay out of the sun when it is strongest. It is to stay in shade when possible. It is that sunshine is healthy for producing vitamin D and for your general psychological well-being.

But it is to also wear sunscreen and that you should protect yourself from UV even when outside in shade.

> How has this industry so royally fucked up something that should be pretty straightforward?

Because... money? Venmo built up the biggest user base and was subsequently bought out by PayPal for big bucks. Zelle was a major initiative by the banks themselves, but too late, I suppose, to sway the habits of the consumers themselves. There was also SquareCash, but they were also too late into the game, particularly because they had no institutional support behind them like Zelle. Lastly, Apple Cash, while particularly convenient, IMHO just did not advertise it well enough. Also, being limited to Apple devices only, kinda misses the point of making payments easy, since you can't be expected to always remember/check which device does your payee have.

Most other service you mentioned were just regular payment processing intermediaries, not p2p solutions like Venmo/Squarecash/Apple Cash.

It's a mess indeed, but at the end of the day, from my experience, Venmo in the US still is the go-to method, seconded only by Zelle.
It could be used as a note app like Obsidian, Roam Research etc. with some caveats: it's hard to use on mobile and you have to take care of the sync process yourself using Dropbox, OneDrive, GoogleDrive.

So I would like to see these additions: synchronization and a mobile app.
Moreover, flash drives (and all flash media) have a favorite page size, which is generally 4kB or 512kB. By defining a common denominator page size like 1024kB (with bs=1024kB), you can keep your flash drive happy with enough backlog to write, so it can perform at its peak write speed without churning, which will help with faster writes and lower write amplification, which is a win-win.

I work in Australian healthcare systems and can tell you that this situation does apply to the rest of the world, although the charging usually occurs to the public purse rather than the other way around.

The problem is that these activity/diagnostic/lifestyle codes exist for good reasons but existing incentives can push diagnostic coders toward exploitation for maximum funding rather than as a tool for capturing treatment burdens.
You complain that pay is too low compared to the private sector… why not work in the private sector then? Unless there is a reason why you prefer teaching to business? In which case the pay cut is logical.

> Usage of dd in this context is so pervasive that it’s being hailed as the magic gatekeeper of raw devices.

That's the thing; it isn't. Author forgot to explain (if he knows that at all) that /dev/sda2 on Linux is not a raw device. It's a block device.

So if dd is hailed as something to use on /dev/sda, that's not an example of being hailed for a raw device.

dd's capability to control the read/write size is needed for classic raw devices on Unix, which require transfers to follow certain sizes.

E.g if a classic Unix tape needs 512 byte blocks, but you do 1024 byte writes, you lose half the data; each write creates a block.

The raw/block terminology comes from Unix. You have a raw device and a block device representing the same device. The block device allows arbitrarily sized reads and writes, doing the re-blocking underneath. That overhead costs something, which you can avoid by using the raw device (and doing so correctly).
This is for nation-scale customers. Quoting from the website:
