I have to disagree emphatically that C is outmoded. It may lack some of the polish and novelty of Rust et al, but it's still a fine language. More importantly, it's an industry standard, has been for ages, and will be for ages. So many of the resource and reference material out there (not just for low level / systems programming but especially for it) presumes a working knowledge of C that a person would do himself a disservice by not picking up the language.
Fair enough.
Sounds more like an issue with .stack being an observable property though.

I've long suspected exceptions making it into WASM being it's million dollar mistake, and this further confirms it.
yep, not a coincidence there - you have to run atmospheric fluorescence detectors in a dark, unpopulated desert, far from light pollution ideally

There’s something ironic about a walled garden launching a product based on open web content.
I always just assumed that program was meant to encourage tradeins after the free maintenance period ends. That kicks off the next profit cycle via a used car sale and another new car sale.

Its a trap! And probably one that customers are pretty happy with.
I understand the intent of the question, but in this case a UK-based alternative would be preferable, not just a European alternative. The UK is more likely to find itself at odds with France than the U.S.

That thought reminds me of a conversation in an episode of Yes Prime Minister:

> Hacker: I sometimes wonder why we need the [nuclear] weapons.

> Sir Humphrey: Minister! You're not a unilateralist?

> Hacker: I sometimes wonder, you know.

> Sir Humphrey: Well, then, you must resign from the government!

> Hacker: Ah, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm not that unilateralist! Anyway, the Americans will always protect us from the Russians, won't they?

> Sir Humphrey: Russians? Who's talking about the Russians?

> Hacker: Well, the independent deterrent.

> Sir Humphrey: It's to protect us against the French!
High-end cameras have removable batteries. Instead of using a power bank, you'd normally pop the battery out and swap in a charged one.

This is assuming that you're taking pictures for a living.
I'm not a big fan of ipv6, but fan or not, I bet if all spammy mailchimp type provider IP ranges were confiscated and freed, we'd be in ipv4 land for another 20 years.

And as a second thought, the way China amd Russia are going, maybe we should just reclaim all their ipv4 addresses, and just give each country 1 IP, they can proxy through it on their end.
No, people having a meltdown about some luxury car brand charging a subscription for heated seats is how regular people dismiss real concerns about privacy and ownership rights. Wait until you hear about how Sirius is disabled without a monthly fee.

Uber was founded in the wake of a global financial meltdown. The same crisis that begat amazon’s mobile retiree workforce (https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/dec/02/nomadl...) and in general the concept of the “gig economy”. The recession created a backlog of job-seekers, so competition for the good jobs was tight - the end result was having to settle for lower paying jobs with less prospects - i.e. gig economy work (https://www.npr.org/2022/07/08/1110610504/jobs-friday-gen-z-...)

“Full employment” doesn’t accurately describe the last decade. Worker power was maybe never lower than it was between 2008 and 2020.

Another ex Amazon guy here. I visited the Dunfermline FC, did picker training, and shadowed a picker for an hour. I also followed company email lists and FB groups for years. It became extremely obvious to me that what I saw in my curated experience was nothing like what I was hearing from the other FCs.

So, even though from my experience I can't see how items could be 'shuffled' out of their bin by mistake (other than falling on the floor and being chucked in an amnesty bin or onto a random shelf, but that seems like a rare case) I also wouldn't find it super surprising to find an FC which just uses a completely different way of organising stuff.

That said, I wasn't in ops. Perhaps you had a much better birds eye view of every single FC organisation scheme? More details would be greatly appreciated.
I bought a new car recently because of problems with my existing car. I didn't have a lot of negotiating leverage on the new vehicle but I was shocked by the tradein I was able to get on my existing car and was even able to negotiate it up by about $1K.
Hey CSMastermind, I'm founder at Checkly and I got a ping we were mentioned. We do send out some "getting started" messages on autopilot. We also did a product launch Thursday and then our regular changelog on Monday. That probably was overwhelming. If you could email me on tim -at- checklyhq -dot- com I will track down if we hit the the spam cannon too hard.
You're saying that you guarantee it?

Congratulations. The burden of proof is now on you. Please prove your claim.
This sounds more like small company vs big company culture, rather than specifically the effects of acquisition. Some folks are much happier at a small, nimble company. Some folks like the stability and predictability of a larger company. Sounds like you're in the former camp.

There are cases where the acquired company is left to run more-or-less independently, and its stock is just owned (or majority-owned) by the acquirer. But that's probably the exception rather than the rule. Usually, if you get acquired, you're now an employee of Big Co.

Clearly I was taking a longer term view of the phrase "after that happens".

That said: my wife and her mother _did_ ride home on the back of her father's bicycle after she was born (in 1980s China).
I agree - friends is totally the wrong term here. It implies a bi-directional relationship (like the ones founds in social networks, e.g., Facebook). What we really mean here are the people one follows on Twitter. So, in a way, it is what you think it is - a summary of one's home timeline.

If you have a better suggestion to replace "friends" with, we'll totally take it. I mean, "people you follow on Twitter" would also work, but feels a little verbose, IMO.

P.S. Good point about checking the Twitter guidelines - we'll have a look and make sure to comply. To be fair, though, none of the competing services (including, Mailbrew, the leading one), actually do that either.

You can only choose your own responses to what you experience, not other people's.

Engineering without professional leadership leads to wasted effort, solutions in search of problems, and also occasional successes such as Linux.

Leadership without engineering (or equivalent in other fields) is the B-Ark.

If you let yourself respond with anger, no matter how justified you feel, you're going to end up in the second group — leadership is a position of strength, and if there's one thing people like even less than sore losers, it is sore winners.
There honestly hasn't been much reason to buy a new car since the GFC. It's really felt like new cars were subsidized because they were necessary to create used cars. With the last several cars I bought, or tried to buy, the negotiation ended up with the new car price being the same, or lower than 1-2 year old models with the same options.

I feel like most used car buyers look at inflated MSRP and judge the "discount" for the used car based on that. They don't factor in the sometimes massive discounts (pre COVID, of course) that practically every new car would have. So a used 2018 model looks $3k cheaper than an identical new 2019, but the 2019 has $4k on the hood, plus better financing, lower miles, and better legal protections (lemon law). Granted, "certified pre-owned" cars often come with better sounding warranties than new ones, but I'm sure there are some fine print details that make them worse than the factory one.

Granted, the post-covid market is all kinds of skewed.
What you say is correct from al the perspective of advertising and corporate budgeting. From the perspective of charitable work, which they invited by loudly proclaiming "look at our charity", it is appalling.
Those are so the elderly can pay scammers and ransomware.
There are many other metrics that do not involve AB testing. You can just survey customer experience before, during and after a purchase for example. I never said to throw out all metrics.

With AB testing your are optimising for a specific outcome. Usually higher conversion. As pointed out in the article eventually you'll end up with a bunch of colourful buttons and scary texts that persuade the user to click. A lot of the "only 2 seats/rooms available" are lies to scare the user into a conversion.

Yes and no.

Battery life is much worse but when you go all in on next gen Mirrorless cameras there are gains that are just impossible otherwise in a DSLR. The thing that convinced me was using an A7RII 5 years ago in NYC at night. The simple fact of the matter was that the camera could focus and validate setup in the dark better than my own eye with my personal Canon DSLR, even with the wide open nifty 50. I think we are on the edge of major innovations in camera tech. The size advantage makes it easier to carry more batteries as well.

Really the biggest thing is that Nikon is just brutally behind in tech compared to Sony and even Canon. The market has moved past DSLRs. Sony showed up and showed how to do it and that was it.
Friend of mine runs a bar, he loves these 1 stars (does not care for walk-ins, it is a very much regulars only place) and we regularly check them out.

The JetBrains subscription model is excellent.

But not only that, they went through a couple revisions with the customer to determine what the right model is.

The software that JB produces as has massive value, but it is also fragile in that it needs to be kept up to date as the ecosystem evolves. That value is fragile in the face of constant change unless you pin yourself to a snapshot of the language and all its dependencies. The JB subscription model allows for this while also enabling constant upgrades.

The way that JB handled the outcry about the original subscription model is the real innovation.
Thanks for your input. I appreciate it. Apparently, a bit annoyed yesterday. Had to handle certs in my spare time. :)

I agree about certbot. Worked with a setup that had it in a container in a cluster. Not very secure.

Yes, but there are security risks unique to QR code menus at pizza joints that aren't present on pizza joint menus at large. The status quo for restaurant menus is printed text.

Also, QR codes obfuscate the request that is being sent.
Amazing. I literally did this and then decided it was overkill. Almost with the same hardware!
I recall raised insurance rates, amd stragglers catching up due to those rates in the 80s.

And just waving it all away with "No, people just buy shiny" is counter to volvo even existing as it did. Many people do not buy just shiny.
Not to mention the yearly price breaks for continuing to subscribe to their services. I think I pay less than $15 USD a month for their All Products pack, and it's worth every penny. Much more economical than buying every release of Visual Studio.
Oops yeah, got that flipped.
In particular, protected classes would be even harder to the point of being almost literally impossible.

But even the average worker... I've seen people milking FAANG for years too. They would bring 300K-1M home and remove value from the company in return.
Same thing happened when EMV was first rolled out. There was replay attack fraud, but the cardholder was blamed for it. But once you get enough complaints, it forces insurance and gov oversight into action as you describe.

The end of an era, but Nikon is following a lot of other manufacturers like Olympus, Sony, Leica. SLRs were a great product, but about 10 years ago, mirrorless cameras started to overtake them in many aspects. The EVF has many advantages, of course especially for video recording. All new camera models now are mirrorless. Like analog SLRs gave way to DSLRs, now the migration to mirrorless is going to be finished. I wouldn't expect Canon to stick to DSLRs much longer either.
NaughtyDog was able to do amazing things with their in house lisp GOAL[1]. I expect SPJ's work to be in a similar vein.

> I don't believe that deciding whether Uber behaved ethically or not is really a useful question (they clearly didn't) in a market where no one does. I look at alternatives. And when the alternative is a corrupt and massively inconvenient government backed cartel, then I will favor Uber.

You're making the point well, that they're not necessarily worse than the system(s) they disrupted.

- - - -

> If you want to say that Uber "exploits" its workers, you have to say how.

Here is one answer from "The Market Fairy Will Not Solve the Problems of Uber and Lyft" (2016):

> They don’t pay the cost of their capital.

> The wages they pay to their drivers are less than the depreciation of the cars and the expense of keeping the drivers fed, housed, and healthy. They pay less than minimum wage in most markets, and, in most markets, that is not enough to pay the costs of a car plus a human.

> These [sharing economy] business models are ways of draining capital from the economy and putting them into the hands of a few investors and executives. They prey on desperate people who need money now, even if the money is insufficient to pay their total costs. Drivers are draining their own reserves to get cash now, but, hey, they gotta eat and pay the bills.

Americans are tacitly aware of what awaits even a sit down protest: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/UC_Davis_pepper_spray_incide...

I encounter people in the Midwest who literally believe all of Portland was on fire in 2020, nevermind it was two city blocks being “terrorized” by progressives, while conservatives and cops cruised quiet neighborhoods harassing and gassing people.

The propaganda worked; two block peaceful protest was turned into “progressives creating a war”, and the part about the cops and good old boys is forgotten.

This culture is a joke of cowards who would abuse the lower castes. And it has the nerve to talk down about China or India.

Moral relativism towards you all is on the way; let the planet burn and your effort being wiped away. Who cares.
IDK, a lot of my local dealers push free maintenance for the first 24 months. I've had one of them. They recommended additional services on every free visit, including the first one after only ~5k miles. Every recommendation was at least as expensive as an oil change.

I'm sure that was coincidental and they were all seriously needed services.
You don’t get to choose the police officers, where you got that from? They are selected by the government to serve and protect them. Government pays them, gives them power status and protection. The second objective may be to appear helpful to the general population so they can justify their existence as ‘helping the community’. While they may help the community when idle to support their second objective, they will always protect the government first. Just pray you don't end up on the other end.
It might be more interesting if it wasn't just the beginning of the song.
> MBA's are generally better communicators and much easier to get along with.

This is exactly the problem. The MBA skill set is climbing corporate hierarchies. Not product design, customer service, empathy, or long-term thinking; only promotions. That's the whole reason anyone gets an MBA.

MBAs often lack domain knowledge, but even when they have it, the MBA problem remains because their priorities are unrelated to product improvement. They spend their time ingratiating themselves and taking over the top layers of management, hiring more MBAs all the while, until a formerly functional company ends up like Boeing or Sculley's Apple.

Too many MBAs will inevitably degrade product quality.
Yes. I have had this problem several times. HN search is fairly useless in my experience. I don't even try it anymore.
As an experiment, take a couple of keywords from an article today and wait a couple of days and try searching for that article again.

making sure taxis are safe for operation should be equally applied; being uber (and hence "the good guys") should not exempt you.

and being the good guys should necessarily include being okay with playing by the rules. if you build an entire UX to avoid that -> fuck you, I don't care what you're replacing you're undermining any benefit you could claim to society

> Well, if you are second-guessing yourself, I'd actually argue that obviously you may have some reservations about it.

Not necessarily. Some people are genuinely happy for what they buy/enjoy for themselves. But other people - who may not understand the value of that purchase (or are motivated by envy) - can bring down a person's enjoyment of that product, by mocking it, or thinking the lesser of it.

A simple example: movie reviews. Not everyone's palate is as 'sophisticated' or 'refined' as that of movie critiques. In comparison, lowbrow entertainment exists, and can be enjoyed by anyone, always. But critiques may look down upon such a form of entertainment - and a person who reads their reviews, and who shouuld normally enjoy their lowbrow their entertainment, might now enjoy their show less, just because others are looking down on it, or because they feel that they have live up to some 'standard' of correctness.

It's not about personally reservations. None of the above has anything to do with a person's inner reservations about a thing - it is about the external judgment, that may sometimes ruin enjoyment. Not everyone is as confident to be able to shake off the thought of others.

At the end of the day, you're just trying to model a black-box function, mapping inputs to outputs. And most of that is CRUD with some basic access control on top. There are definitely complications (e.g. 3rd party integrations, a properly designed/named database schema), but you might be able to get 80% of the way there in an automated way...
I recently switched to Runbox and so far so good. Before switching I tried out the following

1. Fastmail: tried and stopped using because of Australian law that is relatively more hostile to privacy and is more expensive that Runbox when adjusted to features (e.g. alias count limit for personal domains)

2. Mailbox.org: Tried and stopped using because firstly they made a payment routing mistake when I upgraded to a paid account during the trial and blocked sending of emails. Took a few days to get it cleared. Also, there are important features you can't try on a free trial like sensing emails to non-mailbox.org domains, configuring your own domains, etc. They quote alleviating spam account risk but it doesn't feel right when runbox allows you to try these features for free before signing up. Also, mailbox.org forces cloud drive, video calls, etc on you. I don't need that crap. Just need a solid mail service. If you want encryption, you have to upload/let them generate the private key for you. While this is technically necessary to encrypt your mail box using pgp, I don't think this is a good idea. I think entrusting the key and the lock to the same people defeats the purpose of encryption.

3. Posteo: doesn't allow personal domains. This is a deal breaker for me.

4. Soverin: I ran into some issue with Soverin. Can't remember what that was. I really wanted to use them otherwise since they seem like a small team and I like supporting small businesses.

Finally I settled for runbox because they show a decent level of commitment to privacy, cheaper for the set of features they offer (unlimited aliases on your own domain, catch all, etc), let you try all their features on free account which I think is a very good sales posture, there's a fantastic deal right now that gives you a two year subscription for the price of one.

I do not have any affiliation with runbox btw. I highly recommend using your own domain in case you need to lift and shift at some point, use pgp keys for privacy whenever possible and take a principled stand against bullshit laws like those in Australia if you care about privacy. Overall, right now, runbox will give you the best set of features and comparable privacy guarantees to their competitors for a better price.
