There are many issues with the proposed Manifest V3, but the relevant part is that extensions will no longer be able to have full control over requests, so ad/tracking blockers will be less efficient at their job. From EFF:

> As the name suggests, the new declarativeNetRequest API is declarative. Today, extensions can intercept every request that a web page makes, and decide what to do with each one on the fly. But a declarative API requires developers to define what their extension will do with specific requests ahead of time, choosing from a limited set of rules implemented by the browser. Gone is the ability to run sophisticated functions that decide what to do with each individual request. If your extension needs to process requests in a way that isn’t covered by the existing rules, you just can’t do it.

Best way to find logs connected to one of your API requests is by using correlation IDs, which are injected to each log message. Me and my friend wrote libraries to do this for both Django[1] and ASGI apps(starlette, FastAPI)[2]

My mind works best with examples, I was about to ask here when I stumbled upon it on the TLA site [0].

The example starts out with a simple piece of code that exposes a bug, then the bug gets fixed and the following question is asked:

> Does the issue go away because we’ve solved it, or because we’ve made it rarer? Without being able to explore the actual consequences of the designs, we can’t guarantee we’ve solved anything

> The purpose of TLA+, then, is to programmatically explore these design issues. We want to give the tooling a system and a requirements and it can tell us whether or not we can break the requirement. If it can, then we know to change our design. If it can’t, we can be more confident that we’re correct.

The world needs lots of corporate cogs who fall in line with the team. Personally I wasn't home-schooled but I can see the upside of being raised in an environment where you're not taught to be subservient to the authority of a school system, nor forced into a system where you're taught physical self defense is to be punished.

Sounds like the home-schooled may have a leg up for some tasks that require ignoring the training to fall in line with the team or authority. Their niche in life may simply be different.
Half in 30 years? That’s pretty good! Ethereum fell by that much in a couple weeks. On the way up in a bull market it’s all roses, but in a bear market, these things can crash hard.

Money losing value gradually — Demurrage — makes people actually spend money rather than hoard it. If you want the money to earn interest, you will have to take some risk. Invest in some assets. Usually, stocks or real estate or (finally thanks to the JOBS act) new startups.

I don’t know why people have “fat bank accounts”. Money isn’t meant to be stored. That’s a racket by the banks, along with the idea that you have to buy a home instead of renting. If you can rent and buy other assets that you understand better than real estate, then do that.

This is not magic .. money has to come from somewhere. It usually comes from banks themselves — who lend it to people and businesses who believe that they can pay back MORE money ! The only way everyone can pay back more money than is in existence is if the money supply is increased in the meantime. So inflation happens. The only alternative is having lots of people default and restructure their loans to owe less. This is what Ray Dalio says can be “a beautiful deleveraging”. I don’t buy it…

To give a brief African markets perspective:

-early startups in Africa are forced to be "default alive" while the well-networked ones might have the privilege of "default investable"

-a sufficient GTM team may look like significantly higher headcount (vs. developed markets) or maintaining a critical mass frontline agent network; necessary because of low trust / small circles of trust, plausible because of significantly lower labor costs

-a technical team that is actually rapidly iterating is uncommon even in Silicon Valley (even if the individuals are capable, there is usually some kind of strategy / communication breakdown); in Africa the product and design thinking approach can be difficult to find in talent pools and the high power distance in traditional orgs does not help

Similarly to the person you’re replying to, I needed to confirm that a doubly linked list is what I thought it was because for me, high school and college were decades ago. I just haven’t had to use that knowledge in many years of professional development. Now I’ve refreshed my memory on the data structure, inserting an element is straightforward. In other words, the harder bit for me is the boring trivia of what is the data structure with this name, while the far more interesting questions how do you use it and what are its advantages and disadvantages are easy. I would expect that a good interview would focus on the more interesting parts.
Well, the only good thing is that Google Maps will likely continue to run. My DVD based system had it's last update ever in 2015, so it will occasionally show me driving "off road" where the map database doesn't have street info. But then the cellphone companies could retire 4G data service at some point (like how 3G just shut down in February) and you won't be able to use it at all.

Their `libcoreservices` has been useful to me for system-directory discovery on post-macOS-10.9 systems without having to install the whole heavyweight "macOS SDK" behind a Developer login wall: https://github.com/PureDarwin/libcoreservices

These were available in Apple's open-source Libc until (afaict) Libc versions 9xx.x.x, corresponding to Mac OS X 10.9.x: https://opensource.apple.com/source/Libc/Libc-997.90.3/inclu...

They were also available in the Mac OS X / macOS SDK package from as far back as I could find (10.1.x) through macOS 10.11.

> As your kids get older, it is harder and harder to give them a proper education. By the time your kids are in middle-school, subjects get harder for a parent (or pairs of parents) to cover in a way that does each subject justice.

As a kid, I attended mostly private school, but when public school-educated parents express concern that they wouldn't be able to competently teach standard middle school subjects, that sounds much more like an indictment of public schooling than of the at-home variety.

The notion of inalienable human rights is, specifically, opposed to democracy. Democracy needs to be subordinated to that more fundamental principle.

They are often associated only because places where democracy is strong also tend to acknowledge human rights, at least in the abstract. (Obviously autocrats will not acknowledge it.) But it was, and is, often not so. Ask any Jim Crow victim. Or widow of a police violence victim.

Probing for information and not being too afraid of "looking dumb" to ask foundational questions about the assignment are, in fact, part of what's assessed in a leetcode-style question. If we're honest, that's probably more important than the actual problem.

At most places I've interviewed, each interview question is a 25 minute - 30 minute session. Since white-boarding the solution takes perhaps 5-10 minutes max, in this case, there's plenty of budget to refresh definitions and provide a clean interface from which the actual task begins.

Critiquing "insert into DLL" as an unreasonable question does a disservice to the "less leetcode" position :(
Why not implement it with an improvement plan that restores the cut pegged to profit/revenue? You could even throw in a cash/stock bonus at some threshold and even a raise?
There are things that are actually vaporware. It is reasonable and normal for people to actually say when they believe that something has a lot of signs of being vaporware.

Are there really, truly no tools that you personally recommend against using?
Yeah, that sucks. We've gotten ourselves into a bad situation where we're still dependent on a horrible form of energy for common needs. That doesn't change the fact that every gallon of gas we burn screws up the entire planet just a little bit more.
Hmm that sounds not bad actually!

How does it work say if I die before starting to take a monthly sum? Say I want to retire at 65 but I die at 40. I wouldn't get anything in that case.

So the first hurdle to overcome is to actually reach retirement age? I guess pensions work the same way, we pay into a pension and if I die before retirement, goodbye pension.

How are monthly amounts calculated? Is it, the more I put in the more I can get out monthly when I retire? Do I get paid more monthly as I get older because we're assuming more people in my "pool" have passed away?

If I stop contributing after some time before I retire, do I still get a pension?

My interests and passion lay mainly in backend development, but I'm always willing to give a hand to the frontend team when it's needed.
I have almost 9 years of experience in the fintech sector. My favorite projects are the ones where I had the opportunity to build the systems from scratch. My top 3 are:

1. In my beginning years, part of the team in charge of reengineering an entire web banking platform for the Paraguay branch of the largest bank by market share in South America. During these 3 years, I mastered C# by translating Oracle stored procedures into REST and SOAP APIs, and later integrating these services into the web frontend project. I also came up with a quite clever idea (and implementation) of reusing PL/SQL stored procedures through HTTP wrappers that ended up being very helpful to significantly reduce development time for parts of it.

2. Led a team of mobile and backend developers to launch the first app of one of the top banks in the country, allowing users to perform operations such as account, investment and other products inquiries, credit card and service payments, wire transfers and hiring new services.

3. Led the Instant Payments Systems project. 10 finantial institutions implemented our product to integrate their core to the Central Bank system for 24/7 payments.

I'm passionate about writing clean and maintainable code, and I'm always interested in learning new technologies.

Also, got a full scholarship for a Master's degree in Data Science. Got my degree from a US uni and lived in Virginia for two years while completing the program.
I agree. I was treated pretty terribly at times.

I don’t think we should strive to socialize kids in school. The ones who do okay could probably still do better.

Here in North America it seems like our communities are too fragmented and fractured to facilitate socializing without something like schools, though. No idea how to address and resolve this issue, but I’m not convinced our teachers and the socializing model are anything like ideal for kids.

Not bashing teachers here either. I think they’re often doing their best but are working in the confines of a non-ideal system with limited resources.

I was very keen to get my kids into a private school which had an education model and teachers I was impressed by, but it’s incredibly hard to get in. My kids are eligible to enter, but there’s no space for years. No idea what to do. I’m happy to spend a lot to address this, but even private tutors don’t seem like a viable option here.

I’m just venting at this point. This is a hard problem. My kids are getting a bad education here in Canada and it’s upsetting. I try to do what I can to get them ahead, but I’m a nerd, not a teacher.
I'm currently homeschooling three teenagers (since the start of Covid), although one just recently graduated and will be attending University this fall. Ultimately we decided to take the leap to homeschooling because the quality of instruction and curriculum available to us through local or online schools was either not good or not a good fit.

Prior to that the two biggest things stopping us were the assumption that children have to go to an 'official' school in order to get a diploma and go to college, and the challenge in finding good curriculum.

In my opinion, the good resources include Khan Academy, IXL, and Well Trained Mind, or at least that is what has worked for us.

Tools that would make homeschooling easier would be an assignment tracker by class/subject that was easy to use. Khan supports assigning work but it's rather labor intensive to administer. For example if I have assigned tasks in a class for the next eight weeks and the schedule slides by one week then it would be nice to be able to just move all the assignments in that class back one week instead of changing every individual assigned date separately (as Khan Academy currently requires). This could even be something as simple as making a list of assignments available as a spreadsheet.

Logical progression across the units in a class is important. The Khan Academy AP Physics curriculum is a good example of what not to do in that respect.

Any attempt by the instructor/course material at getting the student excited about learning should be avoided/removed.

Grammatical errors, typos, and misspellings should never be present in anything your company makes available to students or parents.
1. That is why reading is the king. You just reread. If you do not reread, you do not have a story.

2. Definitely not. I know one of such book, I use to reread it once per every few months. Year after year I keep finding new insights.

3. Going back or forth is stupidly realised on any music player except vinyl and maybe casette, that's why you might consider to keep listening. Normally after missing a few words, the text became glibberish, but typical news or Youtube content may be keep listening without losing the context even at higher speed.
