SourceTree- last time I tried it a year or so ago it was in a sorry state. Most problematically: it had runaway CPU usage on macOS. Had to kill the whole app whenever it was idle or the fans would go nuts. Eventually I gave up; the bug had been there for a long time and they showed no interest in fixing it.

Bolt Financial yesterday laid off one-third of its workforce, just months after raising $355 million in VC funding at nearly an $11 billion valuation.

Serious question: Does this company have a future? Does it have any value, either as a profit-generating venture or sold to an acquiring company?
Doubtful as those sources of funding are also beholden to investors who most likely have positions in the market. There can be no isolation in modern finance, everything is interconnected.

If the rates continue to rise and market gets bearish on paying multiples on revenues, its going to run into serious liquidity crunch.
What would keep me from recreating Wunderlist?
Thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately this is a Win10box from MSI trying to run Elden Ring thru Steam. It exceeds the specs to run the game, everything is updated, etc but it hilariously white screens within seconds of starting the game. We have so far managed to optimize the thing to the point where the white screen that had taken 15-20 seconds now occurs in less than 5. Saves a lot of time when your crashes happen faster so you can move on to the next potential issue without losing those valuable seconds.

It's gonna be a real treat dinking around with this later since I only know the sequence of the troubleshooting that I walked him through so I may need to unwind some of the stuff he did before he broke down and asked for help.
I don't feel that VS is necessarily getting worse (it's always had weird errors and issues; some people just have nostalgia goggles for certain older versions), but relatedly I feel that VS Code is getting too good. So many new features seem designed for VS Code first and VS integration is an afterthought. An increasing amount of the time I find I want to work in VS Code more and switch over to VS only "when I have to".

On the one hand this is great for cross-platform development (as is the topic here), as VS Code is about as cross-platform as it gets.

On the other hand it feels increasingly interesting/weird/almost-sad that the expensive flagship of the VS brand sometimes seems to be left behind by its tinier, free (as in beer and speech) counterpart.

I don't think your theory is entirely correct, but I think some of it applies here: VS Code started as an Azure project (the core editing experience Monaco was designed for the Azure Portal first and foremost) and seems to get a lot of love precisely because of its cloud synergies and its place near Azure's heart. It does seem to have captured the hearts and minds of most of Microsoft's best tooling engineers. That said, it's possibly the most "Developers developers developers" they've ever been given how much of that tooling is now cross-platform, isn't tied so much to Windows specifically, and isn't tied as much to Microsoft-only languages either.
This reply is pretty hilarious when I think about it.

It makes me wonder how much overlap there is between the "private companies can censor who they want" crowd and the "CEO salaries should be capped" crowd.

Is there any reason they can't do a direct listing without selling any new shares?

The only downside for the company seems to be that employees would be able to sell, and that seems rather greedy for the company to not work in its employee's best interest.

At Súper (https://super.mx), we are working to provide insurance to the 100+ million people and families in Mexico to protect them against natural disasters (e.g. earthquakes) and their personal belongings (e.g. theft). Mexico residents are often living without insurance because there are trust issues (people getting ripped off).

We're here to fix that! We are based in Mexico City and are working to show that insurance can be different, not only by being trustworthy and paying out claims when they happen but also by making the products more accessible and friendly for our customers. For example, we simplified our earthquake product by designing it to require NO ADJUSTORS. If you have a policy with us and live within a certain radius of where an earthquake originated, you will get a payment even if there is no damage to your home. It's that simple.

I am the CTO of Súper and would love to tell you more about what we're trying to accomplish! Feel free to email me at stephen.wooten@super.mx - i'd love to chat!
Not 1:1, obviously, because guns allow killing at a distance and the general lethality of the two differs.

In Japan at least, where both guns and knives are regulated, stabbings do occur (more often than shootings, obviously) but the country still has a very low rate of homicide per capita.
The phrasing here seems to imply that exchanging one cryptocoin for a stablecoin should NOT create a taxable event. That's clearly not a long term reasonable expectation to hold as it's an obvious loophole all tax authorities will be looking to shut in the longer term.
Is there a consensus on the value of leadership? I know there is some research for and against the idea that executive leadership has a meaningful impact on value creation.
We develop ASP.NET REST APIs for big gov services and automate deployments using pwsh. Most of the team work on Windows and some on Linux. Some use VS, some VS Code and we have deployments on both Windows and Linux machines. Pwsh is used extensively on any OS. For build we use Invoke-Build cross platform pwsh build framework and for tests Pester. I can not recall we had some serious problems on those OSes.

Regarding performance, I am impressed.

The platform and language is top notch IMO. It look like MS is entirely new beast since Nadella took the ship.
> I think there is some "reverse network effect" for Perl, where people might enjoy writing in the language but nobody enjoys having to maintain Perl written by someone else.

I think you might be right. Perl is a lot of fun to write, and it's still my language of choice for log parsing and automating sys admin stuff, but while it's possible to write Perl in a way that's easy for others to maintain and understand most people don't (less fun?) and for small projects it's even sometimes faster to rewrite something than mess with what someone else left you.

Actually... now that I think about it, is it ever a joy to work with someone else's mess in any language?
I think this goes to a question of what we mean when we say science. If someone has knowledge of where all the stars are and their movements, but thinks of those stars as gods and believes that their movements affect sickness on Earth, is that science, religion, or some combination?

IPv4 addresses used to be free; now they're like $50 per address from an IPv4 broker. Many ISPs use Carrier Grade NAT, which conserves addresses but may reduce performance. IPv6 may route packets more directly without a NAT in the way.

Also, surely "range" is one of the dominating factors in purchasing an EV, right? I'll tolerate some fit and finish issues so long as I don't have to stop to charge every hour (assuming I can even find a charger).

No, for the same reason that "size of gas tank" isn't a dominant factor in purchasing an ICE vehicle. Modern EVs don't need to be charged every hour, unless you're planning on getting the Hummer EV.

Tesla does have a superior charging network. However, several other cars have better range than Tesla.

Have you read any of it and actually understood it?

I read now 8 articles and all of them are really bad :-/

I really don't have the motivation to go through all of that Garbage...

One dude compares the Bitcoin energy consumption with aluminum while ignoring that aluminum is actually helpful to smelt while Bitcoin is not.

There is so much ignorance in all of them.

'But how much energy should a monetary system consume?

How you answer that likely depends on how you feel about Bitcoin'

Another one plays around with marginal costs and writes pearls like this: "We will never know for sure but, if we look at the sale prices at the time of mining, and assume that they were mined with minimal initial profit, it comes to less than $20 billion. That would mean we put into circulation coins worth $200 billion for a tenth of their price."

Or this one were he just doesn't care to discuss the obvious issue of dividing bitcoins forever: 'But for now, just work on the assumption that the supply of bitcoin is capped at 21 million. In contrast, no one knows the supply of dollars.'

He just accepts that bitcoins are capped. Totally ignoring also how the transition to Bitcoin would make everyone richer who invests in it first. He just doesn't talk about it. And he goes on and on how Bitcoin is fixed while it's not.

Another article doesn't even mention Bitcoin just inflation and deflation in some weird writing style

And this one even points out issues:
"The mining process is arguably wasteful, and justifiably has environmentally conscious people concerned. " Or "For this reason I think that even Bitcoin’s coin allocation schedule is flawed"

Again my question to you: did you read and understood those links you shared?
Define "long".

In my experience, every ~2 hours of driving at 75 mph requires ~15 minutes of charging, so an 8 hour drive is 1 hour of charging, and if you plan your charging stop(s) around meal time(s), then it adds almost no time at all.

I drive from Portland, OR to Eugene, OR (About 110 miles) on a regular basis. I can make the round-trip without charging (barely), but I charge while I eat a quick dinner for the peace of mind.

I've driven to Seattle and back twice. I eat lunch while charging in Lacey, WA.

It's true that you'll want to plan your stops ahead of time during a road trip to minimize time spend only charging, whereas you can easily wing it in an ICE, but it's not too bad. You can use apps like A Better Route Planner to simplify it.

Note that in all the pictures the receiver seems to be on a tower or at least above the emitter. No doubt this is a safety consideration

My understanding of the article is that the system has a safety mechanism built into it that cuts the beam off when something is detected in the path, so likely it's an issue with providing uninterrupted service rather than safety?

Without knowing more details, none of that behavior seems predatory. Debaucherous and with ulterior motive, maybe, but so? I don't think being bold and pursuing women should be demonized.
It makes some sense to prevent parents from getting in. I'd expect some parents to be armed, and armed parents roaming around looking for the shooter and finding other armed parents is not a healthy situation.

But if I'm a police officer outside the school, and I don't go in now, and a bunch of kids get killed, I'm going to have to live with myself for the rest of my life, knowing that I was there and didn't go in.
wait, you just switched from stanford-the-college to palo-alto-high-schools. which is it- stanford makes you go crazy, or living in palo alto?

I don't think whatever argument you are trying to make is very well thought out. From what I can tell, you have some sort of model where you think that living in the Palo Alto area makes people go crazy/kill themselves, possibly in a way that is associated with the institutional policies of the schools in the area.

If you don't see why that sort of speculation is both stupid and dangerous, I don't think it's worth me continuing to engage. There are any number of explanations for what you observe that don't involve blaming institutions for causing suicides.

I live in the area and am quite aware of what happened around Caltrain- many people die on the caltrain tracks every year. Having a grade-crossing railroad in the middle of a dense suburban area is crazy.
But why is the term "bush" used as though the means of obtaining it is different from what white people call game?

Why isn't the appropriate translation used?

The simple fact is it is a culturally loaded term suggesting that it is different and "unclean" in some way.

It is no different from the term "wet market" used in China to describe live animals or freshly killed meat.

Are the wholesale markets for fresh fish and fresh meat in Europe called wet markets?

> It's easy to go on Instagram and forget how long you've been resting for. Don't worry, we'll notify you once your rest is over.

Will this notify through a connected Apple Watch? So that I can just get up and take a breather and get a vibration on my wrist when it's time for my next set? That'd be awesome.

A thought- the notification in the screenshot tells you your next weight, but it seems that it's telling you after your rest- not after your last set. A notification to set your next weight before you rest would be helpful, so that you're ready to go when rest is over.

What brokerage are you using that ignores days-long settlement times? The only way you're actually getting this is a margin account in the background, and that comes with its own risks and limitations.

And even then, it takes days for ACH to clear, or fees for wires or debit deposit.
Eli Goldratt developed some thinking tools that I have found work great for me.

You can start by reading: "It wasn't luck" by Goldratt it's a business novel where the protagonist has to think deeply about his different companies.

If you like it, then you can move to the whole textbook: "H. William Dettmer
The Logical Thinking Process: A Systems Approach to Complex Problem Solving"

Apart from that: "thinking in bets" is a really good book for better decision making.
The NS equations are a good description of approximately Newtonian fluids like water within certain regimes (nonrelativistic velocities, larger than atomic scales, far above 0°K, etc.). “Imagination” was not the best choice of word on my part. I meant that DEs are mathematical objects; their connection to physical systems is made by the scientist, not inherent in themselves. Whether the scientist guessed right is determined by experiment. The first people to suggest that the NS equations were a good description of Newtonian fluids had a model for fluid behavior in their imaginations. We know it was a good model because of experiment. But even if the NS equations described nothing in nature, their solutions, chaotic and otherwise, would have whatever properties they have.

Note that there is no Largrangian for the NS equations, by the way.

> The difference between a warehouse worker and an NFL player warming the bench is that one has a union, with teeth, that has fought for his fair share.

No, the difference is that NFL makes a ton of money per player and they only want the best so the supply is extremely limited whereas basically anyone can work in a warehouse so there supply is basically infinite.

If warehouses paid NFL wages, nobody would spend like 10 years practicing for the minuscule chance they get into the NFL and make NFL wages.

“We didn’t think” should be the focal point here. Whether it’s being hacked, or “no one would notice”, or whatever. “We didn’t think” means a hasty launch without thinking about side effects and consequences. Every good team will think about the “what if” scenarios. Any good engineer would have caught this and said “yeah, maybe we shouldn’t do that…”
I wouldn't take their description of these events as gospel. They clearly use selective information disclosure to enhance their case. For example, they imply their investigative journalism led to Drell no longer being employed at Stanford. She is the Director of Stanford Linear Accelerator.

In short: this individual is not operating on level and is attempting to make stanford's administration look more evil than they actually are. The statements about lies are literally only believed by this one individual.

Bloomberg LP is essentially a revenue generating arm for Bloomberg Philanthropies with >80% of revenue getting donated. The volunteering culture at Bloomberg LP itself is also fairly strong, compared to other medium/large tech companies, so there's a lots of opportunity to give back beyond knowing your revenue is going towards good projects. See [1] below for more info.

Aside from donating time and money, the company's service is also seen as a fundamental piece of the global economy today. Providing a common baseline of financial data and price transparency of assets creates liquidity and helps keep asset prices low. It also allows smaller players to enter the financial services industry without needing to be in the "Old Boys' Club". It also helps developing countries and other emerging markets to list their sovereign debt and manage investors.

This really seems like a detail that should be emphasized. One famous man uttered a very quotable line that was more reflective of his mood at the time than of some universal truth. I don't get how the culture of science sometimes has this tendency to fetishize things like youth or pedigree. I guess it's the classic fallacy of confusing averages with maximums or of thinking that summary statistics preclude the possibility of individuals with unusual characteristics.
