How executives get away with these decisions... and it's Europe wide situation if not worldwide. Of course from the perspective of executives the COVID era was a success because they fetched government bailouts, then diluted the companies' shares. Great success! bonuses followed.
Ever since JP came on the scene for lying about Canadian policy, people have insisted that it was actually about freedom and that he isn’t actually transphobic. Every single time he spreads some transphobic garbage people say that he doesn’t actually hold transphobic beliefs.

But when he can no longer get hard by thinking about Elliot Page it is now a crime to provide medical care for somebody.
I agree! my comment was in jest and was just poking fun at the madness that is the JS ecosystem and it's often overly complex, and ever growing list of solutions to problems that could be probably
be solved with a few lines of jQuery.

Not as a criticism of the OP, but assuming there's no lockup, wouldn't it make sense to buy put / sell "covered" call options as "insurance" on the price. Of course that comes with a premium, but I wonder what it would have been at the "opening" price.

> macs can install themselves over the internet from firmware

But not M* macs. Their firmware is only capable of initializing the most basic hardware and boot from the internal SSD, like good ol' times.

Heck, their boot picker is now a fullscreen application running on a stripped down macOS, which is started from the internal SSD.

This also means that if your internal SSD is hosed, so is your Mac. Enjoy!

I wouldn't touch that business because as soon as it gets much traction, credit card companies will move in with similar offers. What's weird is that BNPL merchant rates are significantly lower than interest rates on credit cards. Either interest rates on credit cards are too high, BNPL is being subsidized by VC, or merchants are assuming the risk of tail events.

On the merchant end, I'd worry that this is a one-time incremental bump in sales in exchange for an 8% financing charge. That might be more than they pay for bonds.
All the things that don’t look nearly or exactly identical to Catalina-era Cocoa (i.e. the “switch” toggles, “grouped” sub-form, oversized “capsule” button) are explicitly declared in the source code[1]. I’d wager those toggles will become more common as they get more first-party usage, grouped sub-forms probably less so. Huge oversized buttons? Pretty unlikely.

>this isn't the fucking 60s.

Are you sure?

These things are cyclical. For example, I would say we are way more prudish and puritan than we were in the 90s.
No one knows the future - but all we do know points that the future is far more optimistic than people realise. If Africa fails to reach 4.3bn then it will most likely be because of faster prosperity and not due to the pessimistic causes you mention.

To illustrate the point: The last 40 years have been the worst we will see in terms of stability, economic growth etc .... yet Population growth in Africa thrived and the % of people living in poverty reduced dramatically and the current population is healthier, wealthier, and more educated than ever before (https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/above-or-below-extreme-po... ).

Too many too important entities invested in real estate on the Tempelhof's approach routes to keep it operating. Now the very area of Tempelhof is pure goldmine. Tegel is next.

It is, but I live in Berlin and it's an absolutely shitty airport.

Yes, some were.

But Pinocchio (the 1940 Disney movie) was based on the 1883 Italian children's novel "The Adventures of Pinocchio" by Carlo Collodi.

Disney released it just after the copyright expired. (Copyright then was a 28-year initial term with a 28-year renewal = 56 years.)

And "Song of the South" (the 1946 movie) is based the Uncle Remus stories by Joel Chandler Harris published in 1881, so entered the public domain about 8 years before the movie.

I'm perfectly fine with a 56 year limit on copyright.
That could well be the case. But I suspect that there's also a great deal of variability in what people mean when they say "conversationally fluent". For example, I completed the entire French tree in Duolingo a few years back, and would consider myself nowhere near "conversationally fluent".
Horrific. Especially where states are throwing out the benefit of doubt. Leaving it up to appeals courts to clean up the mess.

Every tool has its use, but sometimes that use is pretty limited. I don't know if it's a "real problem" that Duolingo focuses on this stuff so much, but honestly, it's probably more about Duolingo's engagement numbers than it is about learning.

Is rote memorization essential to language learning? Absolutely. Should it be the focus of your learning after the very early stages? Probably not. It's just something you do, all the time. Memorize all you like, but true acquisition only comes after you've used your words in real conversation / listening, so that's should probably be where you place your effort. But that doesn't help Duolingo.

In the Japanese learning community, the seduction of this kind of rote, mechanistic, "streak-y" learning has been a trap for a long time -- so much so that there's a popular methodology that has people spend a great deal of time "memorizing kanji". It's appealing because Japanese has a big alphabet of complex characters and the methodology suggests that you can turn learning into a simple memorization exercise with discreet, measurable progress. The problem is, it's pretty much orthogonal to the act of speaking (or reading, or listening to) the language. Learn 2000 kanji and you might gain some ability to infer the meanings of words, but you're still essentially illiterate. The same thing applies at the level of words and sentences -- I have lots of words that I "know" on flashcards, but aren't available to me in actual conversation.

People get absolutely addicted to this stuff, spend years on it while gaining no meaningful level of language skill, then get frustrated and quit. The tragedy is that most people could put in a fraction of that time engaged in listening and speaking with a simple vocabulary, and end up in the kind of virtuous cycle that actually leads somewhere.
It’s funny how unflinchingly the narrative shifted from “bitcoin is an inflation hedge outside of government control” to “the government is manipulating the price of bitcoin through inflation”
When all the big services become IPv6, the number of IPv4 megabits will become small.

You might just direct all the v4 traffic via a tunnel to another ISP which specializes in legacy services like IPv4, running SMTP/news servers, etc. Now you've saved all the cost of maintaining all the IPv4 peerings and config.
Rather imprecise then have people confused of what it does - especially when the confusion could be fixed by a sentence.

Just have a hyper link that directions to a comparison page explaining the nuance. Even without the hyperlink I wouldn’t assume people would think it’s a 1:1 clone drop in replacement. People don’t just drop in a new tool without research and comparing it against their new tool.
Targeting old GNU/Linux is a breeze too. Containers make compiling stuff for old distros super easy. I even use them to crosscompile stuff for Windows, macOS, Android etc. too, since I got tired of having to set up development environments on new machines.

Incredible amount of negative comments. It takes more time to type all that negativity out than it takes to read about what Vite is and what it does.

Frontend dev here. Vite is amazing. It doesn't take long to get what it does if you try it out (you can avoid reading about it that way).

I won't bother summarizing what it does, the website literally covers it. Reading really became superpower in this day and age.
In Brazil, paying by installments is a culture thing.. for instance, most people really don't calculate how much a smartphone will cost as long they can afford the installment. Even pharmacy.

I read sometime ago that Brazil was the only country where certain luxury brands would accept installments. ( Jewelry, watches, etc ),
You asked for a hack: Our culture is messing up your perception of the pool of available men.

500 years ago your possible mating pool was about 50 people, and the most attractive man you'd ever seen lived in your village, and you knew him.

Today advertising and the media is parading hundreds of impossibly attractive people in front of you every day. It messes with your perception of normal, and guys that you know can never measure up to the standards of guys in movies.

The only way out is to know that your standards have been artificially inflated and deliberately lower them.

Next time you go on a date compare the new man to the last 50 or so dates, if he's in the top half then marry him.

100x this. Unless the OP finds someone with an equal drive to build a family and have kids now, 9 out of 10 guys will simply bail out before even trying. No one wants the risk of realizing later that you wasted OP's precious time, so better to not even try.
While I agree with your thought, I think a little verbal restraint would be better. Profanities add nothing of substance to discussions.

I thought Tegel was notoriously the very worst airport in the world? The facilities were atrocious. A security setup like cattle pens. It was like a bad bus stop - grim and dark and raw concrete. It didn’t even particularly have good routes did it?

Good, we figured others might be spending lots just to get low sales on social media

here's our (brief) story:

we recently launched a sellers agency to help founders acquire customers profitably without wasting money on ads

we wasted money on ads (facebook, ig, google, tiktok) but the converstion is sooo low

my plan was to invest in crypto and eventually use the funds to reinvest in my startup to grow it... you know how that turned out

currently we're soo broke my personal account has been in over draft for weeks, but it's not all bad news either way

since then we've learnt how to sell better, and launched pavleu.com/sell to help businesses acquire customers profitably without wasting money on ads

btw reach out here pavleu@pavleu.com or in the comments
Personally, it took me a long time to understand how pull requests work.
Better control over it would be my guess, as well as disaster recovery.

Control over the OS, kernel and server source code would expose values you can tune to make it perform better under their specific workload (where as managed services tend to strike a balance between a wide range of workloads).

For disaster recovery, a previous client of mine got bitten by an RDS instance that was stuck in “modifying” state for 12+ hours (presumably until an AWS engineer manually fixed the problem). Being able to SSH into the machine as root would’ve saved us quite a bit of time (we ended up starting a new RDS and restoring from a - thankfully very recent - backup to get the service back online).
I think TXL should have stayed open and know that BER is a terrible airport, but "well-oiled machine" and "loved by the city population" is a stretch.
for a long time, until I started eating meat I had low ferratin. Iron supplements didn’t help and even some weird ferratin supplements didn’t seem to work.

But iron is not ferratin (it’s some kind of stored iron) and I’m not sure if it really had any affect. I was low ferratin but could I have been not low on iron?

Either way iron deficiency is common in vegetarians and vegans, but there are plenty who are just fine. They get iron from tofu and spinach which is different from the iron from meat and maybe affects their levels differently, but it seems to work out.

This take doesn’t make any sense. What is the author suggest as a replacement, hooking your IDE up to prod via FTP and editing PHP files directly on the live server? Sure I’ve done this, as a solo developer on smaller projects, but this doesn’t scale even to a team of two or three, and it goes without saying I’m not relying on tests in this scenario and I have basically no ability to roll back.

What do you mean with humanism (I did Google it) and how would computer literacy follow that?

I'm in my mid thirties and I worked with people most of my life. I'm looking to pour my ambition into something different now. I know the word 'hobbyists' is in the title, maybe that was a mistake. I intend to use the knowledge for a career down the line. I just don't want to be somebody who learns to code in 6 months and then is thrown into the arena. I want to really understand stuff and then see where the path leads me, because I have the luxury of taking my time.
If you go way back into the archives of the blog's author, probably about ten years now, you will find another memory-related rant on how multisampled VST instrument plugins should be simple and "just" need mmap.

I did, in fact, call him out on that. I did not know exactly how those plugins worked then(though I have a much better idea now) but I already knew that it couldn't be so easy. The actual VST devs I shared it with concurred.

But it looks like he's simply learned more ways of blaming his tools since then.
IPv6 is perfectly backwards compatible with IPv4 with the IPv4-in-IPv6-address embedding and other technologies.
The problem is that IPv4 is not forward-compatible with anything that has a larger address space. Thus a IPv4-only host will never ever be able to communicate with a non-IPv4 host, since there is no way to encode more than 32-bit of information in the IPv4 header.

So you will always end up in this situation where people just won't bother implementing the IPv4-replacement and you cannot simply switch to it.
> When 33% of users from BNPL services claim that a reason to do it is that their credit cards are already max, I see this as a potential issue.

I also find it bizarre that 45% say it's easier to make payment than on a credit card and 44% says it's more flexible. Really?! I don't find it hard to give the credit card company money, and it seems like lower interest rates should be #1.
But assignment in most languages doesn't use a word that's commonly used with a particular order.
Believing that the technology is worthless is just as naive as believing the space should have $2T in capital.

There are tons of interesting things you can do with cryptocurrency and blockchains. Most are financial products, but some are just easier ways to develop software. None of this justifies the insane valuations of most coins, but I have built products that would not have been possible in the pre-ethereum world.

For example, who wouldn't want a system that forces banks to track customer balances in a secure, private, and auditable data structure? This is completely possible with cryptography that was researched as a byproduct of cryptocurrency development. It would be a marginal improvement on the existing banking system, but it would provide real, practical use and would improve confidence in the banking system.
Why would that be your conclusion? If you were to slap any UI framework elements together without a design in mind, especially for a form, they'd look like that.

This is just the author putting together the elements and discussing them. They're not trying to design something.

There's tons of SwiftUI apps out there that are gorgeous looking. As with any UI framework, it's up to the developers who use them to make pretty or not.
It’s in fact not finished. If you go to the website you will find out they have only opened three of the five terminals. They took the old neighboring airport and have temporarily named that “Terminal 5.”

I was just there on Friday and it was amazing how unfinished things are. Panels missing, no seating near some gates.

It’s a very nice mall that happens to have airplane gates.

Really though, the airport’s homepage sells it the best.

> Shopping Therapy at Berlin Airport
Both Terminals 1 and 5 (Terminal 2 is not operational yet) offer a “shopping heaven”, large shopping areas where you can find whatever you may look for. Last-minute presents, famous brands, local stores, BER airport has all the answers depending on your desires! Are you travelling on a budget and want to avoid unnecessary expenses? Take a walk and go for window shopping. Still a pleasing and relaxing experience!
If you consider that there's a dire economic need for the, "out of reach" inflated economy to work for the less fortunate that this might actually end up being, "privatized UBI" or, "thing that replaces credit cards" when we get it right. I don't think this will take the form it's taking now (ie. Forward Layaway Apps) but if you consider that in the last 10 years in the State of Utah that Target and Walmart have both applied for Industrial Loan Company affordances. If you consider what, "customer loyalty programs" would look like when Target can issue credit to itself with impunity you can see what I'm getting at-- you could give poor people money buy things they need and then (in theory) ledger the net gains in terms of growth as being non-losses. This basically amounts to the formation of a new kind of post-Westphalian nation-state. Very dangerous but also could have extreme value for the socially vulnerable.

Consider that there's little real difference between a, "well financed person" and a, "person in debt." The key difference is the object of the sentence. If the object of the sentence is, "society-scale economic growth" you can easily justify, "printing money and giving it to people to spend" as in normal conditions the resultant growth for issuing credit to the consumer spending economy prevents the currency from inflating but outside of just curtailing inflation without curtailing expansion you've also met the financial needs of the populace. You've guaranteed all citizens bread.

Consider that great class difference between, "the well financed" and, "those in debt."
> I find/found the lack of colloquialisms one of the biggest problems with it.

This is actually a big problem with how people perceive language in general. It's hard to understand if you only speak one language, but the idea of a language as a discrete unit is a myth. Here in Québec there is Québécois French, which in and of itself is a generalization, as many regions have different accents and expressions.

In France there are many kinds of French. Some people say they "can't even understand" people from a certain other region... That's pretty much where a dialect crosses the line into a language!

In general people will learn what we call "international French", which is spoken by no one but understood by all. But good luck navigating the subtleties of a French-speaking society without being familiar to their regional dialect.
An app is only ever going to be an adjunct to a real course taught by a real human. As an adjunct, it works pretty well for teaching vocabulary and practicing in between classes.
> I used to literally avoid doing any business in Berlin because Tegel was so painful.

I don't believe you. No business owner is their right mind would believe that you avoided doing business anywhere based on airport opinions.
Don't need to do it in real life, just posting stuff on anonymous forums seems to work really well in my experience.

In real life you should mostly just remember to not be afraid to say what you think is true. If you are right then all is well, if you are wrong then it is good that someone helped correct and make you a little bit less ignorant.
Why are you framing this as nuclear energy vs renewable?
Both are viable, and we should do both.

100% renewables mix is extremely difficult to manage cause we are far from having enough storage. Storage is a big challenge on its own.
Merchants. They're also holding a lot of inventory right now. If there's a recession in the next year, they're going to be hit hard.
I've been there a short time ago, and had an approximately 30 minutes of security queue, so I wouldn't classify it as ghost town :)

BER works just fine, if the problems get resolved. The last time, i got picked up by someone. Walked a little, stepped outside, into the car, and out of the airport area. Done.
