I think it's pretty rare that a business is going to erase all record that a transaction ever occurred, particularly a transaction involving other people (merchants, gig workers). Rather they are going to erase your association with the transaction, by rewriting your account as a "tombstone" account with fake details. That's a pretty normal approach.

It has nothing to do with the protocol, it's the penetration of the services that used it.

In the 90s email addresses along with domain names became part of professional fashion. Everyone wanted @mycompany.com addresses, and that created one of the obstacles for walled garden email. And ISPs often offered email-addresses to subscribers.

"The Microsoft Network" was an attempt at a walled garden that failed.

Hotmail etc had no choice but to support the existing open protocols. Hotmail was just one of many free webmails.

No instant messaging network used "global identities" (or hierarchical identities/addresses like email). The early-mover ICQ was a walled garden, and it died quickly when it became outdated. ICQ logins/identities had no relevance to anything else.

If instant messaging platforms that wished to form a network had existed, then adopting some protocol would have been trivial. Creating new a network of services/operators competing with already an established platform is not trivial.
I sincerely enjoyed my eight years at Mozilla. Like any large organization, they're far from perfect, but my colleagues' hearts were in the right place. https://www.mozilla.org/careers/

Similarly, I just left Element, which is doing really compelling work around decentralized encrypted communication (Matrix chat protocol). Absolutely necessary for free society. https://element.io/careers
XMPP failed like RSS failed - the original vision for the protocol effectively died, but the protocol is in wide use despite that.

Essentially, XMPP's federation goal was antithetical to the vested interests of messaging providers so it was ignored. But the protocol itself was relatively well designed and so formed the basis of a lot of what we use today.

Now that's a blog post I'd read.
SQLite has been improving quite significantly over the years and continually impresses people in terms of performance, features and robustness.

When I first heard about it 10y ago, my boss (web shop) said it "isn't a real database", and that notion prevails in many circles. However more and more web developers recognize its benefits for production use. There are many use cases for it.

Most web projects should default to it IMO, because of its low operational costs and great performance, both in terms speed and reliability. It's incredibly straight forward to use, set up, back up and so on.

As an example: Wordpress, could absolutely default to SQLite as the vast majority of installations run on a single, shared host (apache/litespeed/nginx) and the data model is very simple and almost throughout stringly typed anyways. Running MySQL just adds friction and overhead for these use cases.
Err ... mobility?

Actually I would think the other way around.

Though, this doesn't seem to be a clear correlation.
Stock value depends on growth rate and overall profitability much more than on simply "keeping costs down".

Shareholders invest in Amazon for growth and (now) for profit. Compensating the CEO based on how effectively they deliver that seems like a pretty dang obvious strategy for shareholders to support.

The only time I’ve had a kernel update break things was a weird Proxmox bug where if you booted with the (at the time) latest kernel, it would fail to start the first VM, and nothing you did from the UI or the command line could touch it without timing out. Rebooting to the previous kernel release and it just started working again with no other changes.

That definitely broke my assumption that kernel updates were well vetted for regressions.
I develop cloud stuff in .NET that runs in a Docker container, and I'm using Windows - it's not that anything ties me to the platform, but having tried Linux and Mac, on all environments I'd be running minikube with a VM. It's just that Windows isn't worse at this kind of stuff that other OSes are.

I've developed on all 3 major OSes, and all of them have some kind of drawback (though I have to admit, since M1, Apple hardware is miles ahead of the competition).

I would take those reviews with a big grain of salt; those reviewers are in tight with legacy auto manufacturers (I forget which, but one of the big auto magazines didn't even include Tesla in their rankings for top 2022 EVs).

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).

I believe other auto manufacturers will eventually catch up, but not until they catch up on range and charging network.
Perl is excellent for data analysis in a terminal.

It is built to work with pipes, it's fast, concise, stable, and easy to extend. The REGEX integration is superb.

It seems to me that we have a couple of generations of programmers who turn up their nose at anything that isn't Python notation and then repeat vague arguments about Python's superiority. But like all dogmatic systems, there is no agreement among the zealots.

Python is far from perfect; I see many problems in the Python ecosystem. There remains much to be said for concision and expressivity in other languages. In any case, by the time one has written enough Python, one sees that the "purity of notation" is a myth. And the DSLs within Python (Pandas, Numpy) offer their own pain.

awk, sed, grep, C, C++, Java, and Perl are excellent tools.
I think there might be enough of a market for something in-between.

There is an itch to be scratched by people who want to fight with a balance of quick and strategic decisions. Where "quick" is fluid. For example, when your 1 second decision is a really good 1 second decision, and you realize that with 10 seconds you wont improve it much - then you want to be able to make the decision in 1 second and then not be punished by someone who took 5 seconds to make an equal decision, and spent another 5 making it only slightly better. You also dont want to be punished by people making your quick decision obsolete through brute force of action.

Basically, something that promotes thinking before acting - while also promoting thinking efficiently over thinking exhaustively.

I am not sure yet what design principles best bring this out in a game, but I have been thinking about it a lot.

turn-based is great (big civ5 fan) but it has the opposite problem - it favors the player who takes the most advantage of the turn timer.

Ive thought a lot about possible hybrids, but havent settled on anything really catchy yet. Some ideas are cooldowns instead of turns, or turn timers that are so aggressive that barely anything is accomplished each turn - but you get a lot of turns so it's okay to burn some rather than commit to a mistake

Ugh, that hurts my wrists & hands just looking at it. Have you tried one of the Xbox Elite controllers? I've been using them for a number of years now and they're great. They do take a while to get used to, but they basically give you buttons you can use your middle & ring fingers on. They're remappable, but I've got mine setup for A, B, X & Y buttons, so my thumbs never have to leave the joysticks. I know the controllers aren't cheap, but they're worth it, in my opinion.
Seconded. It’s surprising to hear Basecamp referred to in such a manner. Did something happen?

I used to be a backend dev working mostly with PHP. And I suppose like a lot of backend devs, I knew just enough HTML and CSS to get by. All that changed at the beginning of this year when I decided to take on some frontend gigs. That's when I realized the extent of how much I sucked at this frontend stuff.

So for the past 3 months, I set about "really" learning HTML, CSS and JavaScript. I still have a lot to learn. But for the first time, I think I have a handle on how frontend actually works, especially CSS.

I've designed and built a one-page website to put into practice what I've learned. Do let me know if you find it useful. And any suggestions on how to improve the code will also be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Yes, this is a skip-level discussion. Don't threaten to leave, or anyhting. Just patiently ask why you're not getting feedback (written or verbal) on why you didn't get a raise. Make it clear you're interested in learning precisely what you need to do to qualify for one.

If at that point they dont' give you actionable feedback, get a competitive job offer and share it with the head of HR at your company along wiht a short note saying that you can't afford to keep working there.

Regarding your last couple points, are you being asked to work on the weekends or are you just doing it? Is the stuff you're doing over the weekends needed for Monday, or is it gold plating stuff that wouldn't otherwise be completed? Said another way, is it affecting timelines positively or is stuff shipping the same day regardless?

Saying either one of "I'm very offensive when it comes to handling projects" or "I often have problem[s] with my team" by themselves would be enough for you not to get any sort of raise IMO (or worse).
> Of course, to get these new benefits, you need recent Intel processors with adequate AVX-512 support and, evidently, you also need relatively recent C++ processors. Some of the recent laptop-class Intel processors do not support AVX-512 but you should be fine if you rely on AWS and have big Intel nodes.

What is meant by "relatively recent C++ processors"? Is that supposed to be "compilers"?
Thanks - appreciate the honesty. As someone who doesn't play the genre I imagine it would feel like a big change and super interesting gamespace. Someone who plays inside the genre might not think it's that much of a change, is that an appropriate assessment?

A Mac menu bar app to close and reopen apps with ease. Start work right where you left off! Never waste time reopening apps or their files. Need to work on a side project, no problem, just change your workspace.

I am sure you have experienced the problem of having to close and reopen apps and their files when switching to work on a side project or school work.

I know I have had this issue, and I could not find any apps to solve it. This led me to make this app which solves that issue allowing users to make as many workspaces as they wish to.

Features:
- Multiple workspaces - Reopens all of the apps that you saved in your workspace
- Open multiple workspaces at the same time
- Reopens the files you were working on (e.g., Microsoft Word document, or Adobe Acrobat PDF file)
- Free updates for life
- Close and restore your apps with just one button

There is a 50% discount for a limited time, so don’t miss out.

PHP is more like birds. Technically, they're dinosaurs, but they've evolved and stayed relevant after Perl, etc. went extinct.
I'm specifically exploring whether or not the ability to run queries quickly would be of value to a hunt-type situation - or more generally speaking, are enterprises losing out because complex queries take too long to run. Selfishly, I'm on the security side, so I think SIEM. But, generally, application-level logging may have the same problem.

Sorry to give that impression.

My whole comment was intended to convey that the furor sounds like generalized criticism of a President, almost unrelated to the specific problems that occurred. All too common nowadays, to just fling criticism and claims around and hope something sticks, with no honest attempt to connect to the tragedy.

Sure conflicts of interest are concerning. How does that get a student into a bathroom with a drug overdose? And so on.
While that doesn't sound very likely, I'm not a biologist or doctor (I don't think there's any current evidence to support such a theory.)
> I think a project manager trying to run agile is almost a contradiction in terms.

I believe you can find that "contradiction in terms" at thousands of organizations these days. Probably more than are "running agile" without a "project manager".
Yes! The committee approach does not seem to work well. The “benevolent dictator” is really often just a solid CEO type: sets the vision, acts as head salesperson, and has the final word on all important decisions.

What happened with Perl is that, effectively, the “pumpking” held that power but when Sawyer X actually used his discretion to announce Perl 7 there was a mutiny by jealous and bitter collaborators. They felt they should have some say in the matter and formed this Perl Steering Committee. As the brilliant Reini Urban has pointed out elsewhere in the comments, this group are fairly mediocre talent wise and mostly just spend their time sniping at each other.

Reini’s cperl or Will Braswell’s rperl are both worthy projects that in a more perfect universe would have long ago supplanted the now rudderless mainline perl interpreter.

Given how pluggable k8s is, it should not surprise you that there are companies at every integration point. Tigera for network policy. Security policy vendors using admission controllers to secure clusters. Linkerd/Istio for service mesh. Storage vendors. Etc. Each integration point provides a hook for someone to do better than the default behavior and charge for it.

The ecosystem is thriving and because the k8s platform was built to be pluggable; it is an actual platform. Docker (the company) tried to monopolize and monetize when they built Swarm, and that’s why they lost the cluster orchestrator space IMO. Docker (the tool) is just a tool, not really something you can monetize easily. Docker (the image format) is where most of the value lives, there isn’t much value to extract there as it’s an open protocol.

Docker (the tool) was commoditized by k8s, and now there isn’t really any way to charge for a differentiated implementation. Providing a registry and a best-in-class Docker for Desktop experience isn’t going to be a huge TAM.

At one time I wanted to see if I could pre-deconvolve what's shown on a computer screen so that a person with a slight vision problem could use it without having to wear glasses, using their blurry eyes to convolve the images back to the original image. I found a paper/website that did this (can't find it anymore), with some example images of text, and it worked fairly well, but spatial resolution was very limited.

One interesting limitation is that negative brightness is needed to make it work without distortion. Limiting the brightness range of the image, so that black can act as a sort of "darker than possible" level helps.
Well that’s fresh.

Rai was initially released based on a value of 3.14 usd, it's down from that. Since usd has experienced inflation one would expect an unpegged stablecoin like rai to be worth more not less usd over time.

Vitalik's requirement for an automated stablecoin to only hold crypto assets is quite severe. If there's a general crypto downturn, people are going to want their money back, which turns into a bank run. It only takes a minority of holders to want their money back in order to create a bank run (and bank runs can start small and get larger because the debt/equity ratio goes down if you are already not at 100% of debt backed by equity and if you pay holders 100% value when they get out of the stablecoin). Basically the only reason to hold a stablecoin instead of the underlying assets is convenience, because if you own an automated stablecoin you don't own any upside but you do own downside risk (e.g. Terra)
"the fact that that one main list includes oil companies but excludes Tesla is really compelling evidence of this."

This doesn't seem like compelling evidence without diving into why. Tesla is quite shady in trying to avoid things. For example, not complying with battery laws in Germany, working conditions issues, etc.

The ESG score also include "S" and "G". It's not all about "E".

But I agree that the scores don't mean much. Which, for the third time, I recommend looking into the companies because their "benefits" are generally debatable.

Well I guess I'll like to evaluate from a systems thinking standpoint. N-order impacts are relevant.
