> But the point here is that crypto can enable a whole lot of other businesses that don't exist today because of merchant risk.

This doesn't address the primary risk that merchants take on: fraud. Either crypto or credit card, if you end up taking a payment via stolen credentials, you will refund the money.

The risk that the middleman in a two-sided takes on is fraud. The scam is pretty simple: steal credit card/crypto key, set up fake seller account, buy stuff from yourself using stolen credit card/crypto key, cash out. The middleman pays the money out to the scammer, and eventually has to pay back the person that was stolen from, credit card or no.

Micro transactions are a huge merchant risk not because angry customers can chargeback, but because one stolen account can undo 1000/X legitimate transaction (where X is your profit per transaction). If your margin is slim, you've just amplified your fraud risk.

And before you say that it's easier to steal credit cards than crypto keys: 1) wait until crypto becomes common and 2) it doesn't matter. If you secure your keys, then scammer finds some user's account credentials and cleans their account out.
I used Mitsubishis site to find the local “diamond” contractors (those factory trained and do enough volume). Then cross referenced vs yelp.

I see a few in Portland and several in nearby zip codes. Hopefully one can work for you. There are different tiers of “diamond” so you can compare if the difference matters to you.

One thing that’s a bit different is the air handler and outside compressor run on one circuit (mine is a 3 ton unit). So there’s a power line between the 2 units. That threw off our city inspector. But it works out nice since I now have an extra 20A breaker free :)

Symmetry breaking is very important to the study of condensed matter physics, including solid matter, and arguably it’s the reason your room exists at all.

You're mixing up design and style. The Thinkpad was very well designed, in that it solved a problem well given a set of requirements and constraints. It was a workhorse laptop meant for business travelers, not a consumer device like the iPhone. Both were well designed, but for different purposes.
Just allocate your web crawlers a public IPs and use an internet gateway. Such a weird self-enforced limitation they’ve envisioned, not clear why they think there’s no choice but NAT
as you note they’re only available for some services, and sometimes only partially for a service.

check the docs very carefully before getting your hopes up about dropping the bar gateways.
I wouldn't be surprised if cardholder name was shared by the credit card network with a vendor the size of Amazon. Does anything forbid it?
It’s not for construction and maintenance. It’s for inspection. The scaffolds exploded after some facade bits fell on someone and they passed Local Law 11, and they radically increased the number of inspections and basically required scaffolds for them.

The correct modern solution is probably mostly drones. This idea has been floated but is not presently legal, and the scaffold companies will lobby the government and cry bloody murder, so expect the scaffolding to continue for the next 300 years.
But that 10kw isn’t going directly into your house. The attic is designed to vent the air and let that hot air escape.

but the ending? Is this a "no good deeds go unpunished" story in sheep's clothing? perhaps young engineers are being conditioned to sudden and unexplained unemployment as if that is normal ? that's a different kind of sheep. Are there grownups in this story ? just kind of awful at the very end after all that positive detail.

That's a shame, seems like a cool idea. I wish the open source community was a bit better at open project management and more resilient to projects going dormant like this.
Yikes, 260 character path names can be a real pain. Please support sensible path names or at least tell me why you can't read or write to a file. Often you just get a "can't write to that file" error message, or worse, "forbidden" so you spend an hour trying to debug the mess that is folder permissions on windows.

I'm not going to convince you to change your tool chain, userbinator, but for the sake of the discussion: Once you have multiple projects going on, with multiple components, and then those components have a small directory structure themselves, you can easily reach 260 characters. Add to that, if theres data coming from another org, a long file name can be very helpful to keep track of what it is (and don't forget 10-12 characters for a date!). And finally, the nail in the coffin: most users don't think about path names, I struggle to get people to not put periods in their filenames which messes with some tooling, how am I going to convince the guy in finance who gave me this data that he should use short file names? Should I modify the file name and make it untracable?

ETA: The "if you have to ask you've messed up", I don't ask, I expect and then get annoyed it broke. I had 10,000 files collected into a folder. Why can every other program tell me the list of files in an instant but windows explorer crashes (the whole desktop environment) because I opened that folder to see it. I'm not meant to do that? Then why can the kernel, the disk, the file system, and all other programs handle it with ease?

> Manual labor is naturally limited – there is only so much ditch that needs digging, only so much shit to shovel, etc. With computers, the situation is different. There is no end to the amount of text documents, pdfs, spreadsheets and other files that can be created; these then need to be reviewed, revised, have each revision tracked and documented separately; this all gets filed into multiple databases and folder structures that all need to be catalogued in new spreadsheets and pdf:s. There are the endless software updates, subtle UI changes that require frustrating periods of adjusting to get used to, compatibility issues with hardware or other programs that take weeks to figure out.
FWIW, Mercurial has had "censor" command for blowing away the contents of those revisions with AWS keys since 2015.

Although once stuff is pushed to the public repo you're probably going to want to change those keys regardless. And if it's on the local one, there's plenty of options for removing the commit.

Cross-platform compiling is not a trend, it is one of the only two sane solutions to supporting customers.

The other is browser-based SaaS. But now you have two problems, to paraphrase Zawinski.
As someone else pointed out, there is a proper JIT now, but not too many people are especially concerned about boosting single threaded perf to say Java levels. It just isn't what big users of OTP are concerned with, per se. It would be cool if the JIT get really good, but I'm not holding my breath.
What a pretentious take, mathematical concepts that have a recursive variation are not appropriate as a learning tool because "we don't use them"? Since when do we stop teaching recursion after the canonical examples? Do we not teach tree traversals right after? The mathematical examples demonstrate exactly what they are designed to do, the effects of a function called by it self. Tree traversals (or any other abstract data structure traversal) demonstrates side effects might happen in between. Learning anything is a iterative process and that is exactly what the canonical examples are for: an entry point for the learning process.
They all have nulls but a static lang will warn you that the value can be null.

Typescript is ranked number 4 according to Github statistics in 2022[0].

VSCode is also very popular. I couldn't find any good statistics comparing different text editors, but atom is sunsetting this year, and VSCode continues to grow as some anecdotal evidence.

Visual Studio is still a great IDE for C++ imo. CLion is the only other big IDE for C++ that I've had suggested often.

C# is ranked #9 in github usage[0].

I would consider these "great developer tech", and their popularity seems to confirm that.

Edit: DirectX is also a pretty big deal since afaik it's the only way you can make an Xbox game. I don't have enough experience to say whether DX is great developer tech or not though. I often hear how horrible Metal is more often than I hear negativity about DX, but that's just my experience.

It appears to be a different (and more direct) way of framing the same problem: https://www.nasa.gov/feature/langley/joint-nasa-noaa-study-f...

A better argument for solar panels is that per kwh of useful energy, a solar panel traps less solar energy (in kwh) than the CO2 produced by coal or gas or w/e. But I've never see this particular argument made and therefore couldn't even guess at HOW much better a solar panel is than coal and HOW much worse it is than nuclear or geothermal (which could actually be net energy loss for earth, by dispersing some thermal energy locked deep within the earth out to space).
And is a worker obligated to work at a company that doesn't meet their (the worker's) needs?

I do not see the employer-employee relationship as a one-way street and would refuse to work at a company with this kind of orientation. It has never been a problem to find organizations with a different orientation.

There exists no axiom that says an employee is obligated to work at a company. For workers at a sufficient level of skill, resources, and privileges, the working relationship at a core level is centralized on the needs for both entities; there is a mutuality in regards to getting needs met.

Of course there are organizations that basically exploit and abuse their employees; many of us have the privilege and experience to be discerning such that we can completely avoid companies like that. For lesser-paying jobs, a worker's needs are still completely valid and almost always taken into consideration by both parties.

For instance, we usually require a paycheck, and we often have well-defined, quantitative needs around this. I am not going to work somewhere that pays me $0.15 per hour, to use an extreme edge case.

Some other common employee needs:

* to work somewhere with a good work-life balance.

* challenging and non-tedious work

* to be around people who aren't sociopaths.

* to work at an organization that isn't paralyzed by micro-managing pseudoprocesses.

* to work at place that doesn't require the installation of spyware or middle-managementware on our devices.

The list goes on.

How about you? Do you not have any needs in regards to where and how you are employed?
It's usually auctioned off. There are special websites for these if you're willing to buy like 50 chairs. Some of them sell on eBay.
so i keep having people froth at the mouth about how it is more secure to use VPC endpoints to communicate to AWS services.

is there any practical mechanism by which not using the VPC endpoints can be insecure, which does not also affect VPC endpoints?

i usually get some hand waving about man in the middle attacks, but i figure if you can insert that into an AWS data center you can probably just see all the VPC internal traffic anyways. and one should be using TLS to talk to the services anyways.

>If Im the 69% that wants to tax fossil fuels, and the ballet says taxes on "greenhouse gas" - Im not going to care or be very happy with the measure, because I agreed I want to tax "fossil fuels"

Again, I'm skeptical whether this distinction is responsible for a 26 percentage point drop in support. Fossil fuels make up the overwhelming majority of greenhouse gas emissions in washington state. Taxing greenhouse gasses is largely synonymous with taxing greenhouse gasses. Outside of a very small group whose livelihood involves non-fossil fuel greenhouse gas emissions (cow farmers?), I'm having a hard time imagining why you'd be against a greenhouse gas tax but would support a fossil fuel tax.
One of Zig's claims to fame is how widely supported/cross-platform their build tools are, and I had high hopes. But they don't publicize this limit of their macOS support -- I found out the hard way. I really appreciate how far MacPorts bends over backwards to keep things working.

I love my ancient machine and have a few 32-bit apps I need, though I guess old hardware isn't quite the excuse it used to be.

You know, I'm looking at all the tips and suggestions here, and my thoughts keep going back to SnagIt from TechSmith -- these problems seem to all just go away with SnagIt.

Sure, it's cross platform, but I don't care about that. It works better for me on macOS than the native facilities, and provides much better post-screenshot editing.

My advise would be exactly opposite. Dont EVER use serverless container use kubernetes instead if you need scale or not.

1. Use GKS/EKS/LKE/DKS. dont try to setup kubernetes cluster in your server by yourself.

2. It's very simple to setup deployment, database etc. it will take a week of a decent engineer to setup your application in kubernetes cluster - end to end.

3. LKE/DKS is super cheap compared to Heroku.

4. Use github actions (free) and docher hub ($5 month to build your container images) and its very easy, all you need is a weekend.

5. IMPORTANT: It's foolish to architecture your application to fit into serverless container.

Surely the manager could have covered for two hours, that would be leadership.

Slightly related funny story, friend of mine was in the first few dozen employees of an engineering company that now employs 35,000 people around the world.

His boss came to him and said, "What would you do if Joe down the road offered you $10 an hour more?" (in the days when $30ph was top pay).

My friend thought and said, "I would have to take it."

To which his boss said, "Good answer, because if you had answered otherwise I would have to sack you for being stupid."

Where is this? Absolute failure on management. Seems very culture based.
How about the fact that no one on the team offered to take the shift so that the employee could attend her graduation? Over my long career, I've covered for, and been covered by coworkers more times than I could count. It's never been an issue. This manager's team has a terrible dynamic that likely starts from poor people management at that company. Quitting was the smartest move that employee made on that job.
Minsky Moment refers to the onset of a market collapse brought on by the reckless speculative activity that defines an unsustainable bullish period. Minsky Moment is named after economist Hyman Minsky and defines the point in time where the sudden decline in market sentiment inevitably leads to a market crash.

Can you use the same tech to cool a house? That would seem to be much more needed given the climate trends (warming) and demographic trends (moving to Southern US States).
For my house the problem is that the sun's energy is converted to radient heat which makes its way hours after the air has cooled. The HVAC people have said no amount of insulation or attic fans will help. They suggest radiant barrier roofing of varoius types. The simplest being reflective paint, which the HOA won't allow.
Why the paid [docker] hub recommendation if already using GitHub Actions? Its container registry has a free tier too (I assume there's a limit but so is there for Actions).
Anecdotally it seems like we are. The rad thing to do in my area of california is to paint your white washed spanish style home mud brown or ozzy osbourne black. Then you have to install a much more powerful AC system when in the past maybe just opening windows and getting crossbreeze was enough. All these houses used to have awnings over sun facing windows when they were build in the 1920s but at some point that must have been seen as ugly and its now pretty rare to see.

You are right that there are many types of low carb diets. Some are zero carbs others are perhaps 50g or 100g. Some are using a 4:1 fat to protein ratio and the more “mainstream” low carb diets are using a 1:1 ratio. Some are calories restricted, others are not. The one I have chosen to use is the 50g carbs and a 1:1 fat:protein with a 500kcal deficit to loose weight. It works great. Also be aware that there are many high carb diets out there. Most of them are extremely dangerous. Leading to Type 2 diabetics, blindness, amputations, fatty liver, hypoglycaemia, heart problems and (ultimately) an early death. However some high carb diets are fine if done right. So I think we can agree that we need to be very specific when we talk about diets and emphasise what is needed for it to be actually healthy.
