Some of the Wordpress, Drupal and Squarespace theme designers do the drag/drop GUI part where you can drop into the html, but it's more for graphic designers than programmers. I have watched a graphic designer be super productive with the WP Divi theme builder. But graphic designers are used to Adobe-like products with visual designers.
> It does not show performance of query engine, but more likely how good is your optimiser was tailored for this queries.

Maybe I'm wrong, but it sounds like the OP is not justifying such a view, but explaining how others tend to see things in general.
With a 10x observation time, you would probably be approaching a uniform cosmic background of multitudes of galaxies.

There would be negligible space without a light emitter.

Yes, and also those that were too faint, but not necessarily extremely red-shifted.
I do understand that use case and it has value. Question is - what portion of the 5 billion internet users see that as enough value to enter the space?

I have friends that have fled war torn countries, dictatorships, etc and I'm glad blockchain now exists for that scenario but again - can that use case (fortunately very rare) justify tens if not hundreds of billions of dollars of investment and over 10 years of work?

This is what I don't understand.

I understand banking has problems (fiat is a much longer debate). What needs to be understood is how many of the 5 billion internet users think the benefit of blockchain justifies throwing out the entire financial (and often legal) system and operating in a parallel one? Not to mention the willingness of average people to essentially be their own bank. For this reason alone I think blockchain is a non-starter for the overwhelming majority of internet users.

How many people care? Answer is: a tiny portion. A very optimistic estimate of total blockchain "users" worldwide is in the range of 100m. 13 years and untold billions of dollars of investment to reach 2% adoption of the internet population isn't exactly a success story that speaks well to the utility of the solutions provided and the real world problems they solve.
I have to agree with this. I moved off Windows into Linux as a daily driver mainly due to issues with docker support (pre WSL2, but even that had filesystem issues the last time I tried to used it). I recently accepted a new position that provided a Mac M1 and it's just a generally frustrating experience comparatively. Specifically, anything that involving keyboard directed window management is either non-existent or flaky at best, and a ton of functionality that it just inconsistent with the rest of the OS / applications (why is a separate fullscreen the default functionality, and why can you no longer Alt-Tab + Cmd + Tilde to a window that's been made fullscreen if you have a second non-fullscreen window open?).

Maybe my flow just isn't compatible with the OS (it feels very visual + mouse oriented), but between a previous ~2 year stint with another Mac-only job and these ~3 months, about the only thing I have to say that's positive about the OS is the spaces feature.

And like you mentioned, even when I had an ambiguous error on Linux, there was usually enough information to find a similar enough problem online to at least narrow down what I should investigate.
I do that to find out who the company is. It's usually a better way to find out how much they pay than the recruiter is. Too often recruiters try to avoid telling me either item.
> Twitter is going to have to turn over the data anyway.

But Twitter already did this, at least in one part.

From the lawsuit:

> On or about June 9, 2022, Musk’s counsel indicated that granting access to 30 days’ worth of historical firehose data would satisfy Musk’s request for the firehose data. So, on June 15, the company gave Musk’s team secure access to that raw data — about 49 tebibytes’ worth. It did so even though the merger agreement did not require the sharing of this information.
> Less transactions in the blockchain means less money to be made mining

I don't think that's actually true. Mining earns money through transaction fees and the mining block reward.

The block reward is directly set by an algorithm which lowers the amount over time. Transaction volume is totally irrelevant.

Miners and users set the transaction fee by choosing what they'll accept, so it should respond directly to supply and demand. If the Jevons Paradox [1] holds, making transactions cheaper means that there will be more of them, so even though on-chain Bitcoin transactions now account for less than 100% of transactions denominated in BTC, that doesn't necessarily mean that there will be fewer total on-chain Bitcoin transactions. So transaction fees paid to miners might not actually go down, either.

Stripe is not worldwide, but works pretty much everywhere in EU at least. You can open a company in Estonia in a couple hours (once you have a digital signature key, which they offer to everybody now, not just Estonian citizens [1]). Getting a bank account might be a bit trickier, but still doable (hint: Wise [2], while not a bank, might be an easier option).

That said, Bitcoin is still a whole lot easier to accept, and on the L1 level can't be blocked by anybody. Cryptocurrency is definitely the future, but traditional banking is trying to compete sometimes :-)

By NPM do you mean the Node Package Manager?

Yeah, unless you have it earmarked for something today it isn’t worth having cash lying around except for buffer funds. It’s a bad time all around right now. Best off sitting on investments for the foreseeable future.

So Vanguard (venerated investment institution for 50 years) is wrong and you (random HN commenter) are right?

Sure, okay.
I do attribute some value to the delivery. But this was a promo code plus free delivery. A future promo code that doesn't have free delivery would result in even higher fees. So if it's a code for less than $20 I'd expect that entire amount would be eaten up by fees and the increased cost of menu items. Delivery would be extra.

Doesn't read that way at all to me. Reads like a very accurate depiction of reality.
You can rent, but that's money wasted. The longer you rent, the longer you didn't invest. Also rents are higher than mortgage payments, making it worse.
If the majority of time the delivery happens 5-10 minutes faster than the estimate, then either the delivery was scheduled to take a huge amount of time (50 minutes) and we are looking at a small error, or indeed, the estimates are hilariously bad.

What TFA is talking about is more fundamental than that. It's that the Internet was designed without taking into account things that women would think of and men don't, like harassment.

Suppose early women on the Internet were in a position to say, "Hey, I've just gotten ten dick pics in the last five minutes, and we only just invented the thing. How about we work on that now, rather than creating a ton of institutions first and making it impossible to change them later?"

It's not just that it would be a new thing on the Internet. It might be an entirely different kind of Internet. What if, for example, every single packet were able to be traced to its source? What if sources could be banned?

I'm not saying that's a utopian Internet. I'm merely trying to point out what TFA is trying to get you to think about.

Oh, and it's precisely the case that cars weren't invented by women, and it took a really long time to make cars safe for women. Car safety standards were built around "average men", and were actively dangerous for non-average men -- and also the majority of women.
Wouldn't the right question be "do the powers of pi have unusually big terms towards the beginning of their continued fractions?" Because even one such term is enough to have a surprisingly good approximation, but many small terms at the beginning would create an approximation with a larger numerator and denominator, which may seem less remarkable than 355/113.

Think of them as richer versions of asserts. And in languages where they are first-class parts of the language, that is they become meaningful metadata on functions, variables, classes, etc., then you can end up deriving tests from them or running them through a prover (not always possible, or might restrict you to a subset of the language). They are complementary to the type system and test systems, just like asserts are, but richer in potential than plain asserts. See the recent AdaCore blog post:

> Rather 10% compared to what one could do with better training, improved lifestyle, etc.

If you're talking about 10% of some non-physical concept of brain "potential", then you have to define, potential WHAT? Creativity? Intelligence? Speed of thought? Hand/eye coordination? Something else deemed important? All of it? None of it? How could you possibly attach a 10% potential value to any of this unless you operationalize it down to some tiny measurable part that lose the gestalt? If we're not defining the 10% as physical brain area, then the 10% proposition seems not only unlikely true but likely meaningless, a priori.
I designed a small circuit back in January. I ended up going with a PIC microcontroller because it was the only thing I could find that supported USB and was in-stock. I ordered enough parts to build four, from Digikey.

Now, 6 months later, I want to build some more, and about half of the BOM is out of stock on Digikey. I was able to source most stuff on Mouser instead, but the switches I used weren't available anywhere and I had to go to a different manufacturer, driving the cost from $12 of switches per build to $18.

Huge pain in the ass, but at least I was able to get it done. I feel for the people who designed around particular parts and are now starting at 2023 "in stock" dates.
It's not like governments are doing anything significant. If politicians won't do their part, then it's up to the capitalists.

One thing I didn't understand was why it was necessary to dismantle the laptop as shown in the first pic. Some more details around that would be useful. Presumably something about getting around the flashing limitations if one was to attempt it purely from a software approach?
It is shady, but at the same time it sounds like the recruiter succeeded where your company failed. He was able to find a candidate for your position, where your employer was unable by just posting it to indeed.

He did a better job, and maybe that is worth the additional money? Do you think your employer would have found the same candidate by just relying on the job listing on Indeed?
This seems like typical media bias: Democrat Presidents get dinged on unpopularity in polling, and never get credit for economic success. Did any

It's like the media actually has an anti-Democrat bias, maybe due to the media being businesses, and recently Republicans have lowered taxes, and stripped workers of protections.

A better Yahoo article: https://news.yahoo.com/majorities-poll-biden-trump-not-12242... in that it considers both parties presumptive candidates.

IBM purchased BASIC and DOS from Microsoft in the same transaction. BASIC was the only "OS" installed by default in the first PCs and PC-DOS was an optional extra at launch.

Contextually here "best" also means "best fit for IBM to buy". Global brand or not, IBM certainly had US biases: a US headquarters, more engineers and managers in the US making purchasing decisions.

I can't argue with you on the subjective quality of other BASICs, and I can't speak to what IBM "wanted" other than what we know they eventually purchased. Their "best fit" may have indeed been entirely "pragmatic" things like "ubiquity" or "cheap" rather than "best technically".

> There were plenty of better US-developed BASICs too.

Citation needed on "plenty", I think. On the "microcomputer" Microsoft nearly cornered the market on MOS 6502 BASIC at the time and even the ones that didn't have a Microsoft banner at startup still had a licensed Microsoft interpreter under the hood ("Applesoft Basic" and "COMMODORE BASIC", for examples).

Of the Wikipedia documented "microcomputer" BASICs that weren't Microsoft's/Microsoft-licensed, two were UK-developed (BBC Basic and Sinclair BASIC), and the only other one (Atari BASIC) is listed as not having a stable release until 1983, two years after the first IBM PC.

My best guess:
* You can invest in covered call funds[1] (like QYLD) and equity-linked notes (like JEPI) as a hedge. This will lose out to index funds in the long-term, but should be better during volatile periods.
* The US has I-bonds[2]. An equivalent may exist in your country.
* Having an emergency fund is good.
* Diversified investments is good.

I mean, it is wise of you to hold back. Writing by hand can be painful without the proper technique. I have one book that teaches you how to write properly by hand. It turns out that you should use your shoulder a lot more; it’s much easier to cramp up if you use your fingers to drive the pen/pencil, which is what I have always done. When was that book released? Maybe in the 1910s sometime. They don’t teach people such things any more.

Actually the entire article is a shitshow, the last bit is telling about how much effort was applied:

Information on the Australian government’s Smartraveller website warns citizens in general terms that US authorities “have broad powers when deciding if you’re eligible to enter”.

Travellers must provide an onward or return ticket and show they have enough money to support themselves, it says, and should be prepared to answer questions about the purpose of the visit, how long they plan to stay, where they will stay and their ties to Australia.

“If you provide false information, or can’t satisfy the officials you’re visiting for a valid reason, you can be refused entry,” the advice says.
It depends on the team and the way things are organized I guess. I've only worked at a small company where we are all obsessed and I couldn't imagine anyone coming onto the team without a similar level of enthusiasm and excitement, so relatively quickly. At a larger company I'd expect it would be the same as any other onboarding time.

Now to be truly great at this? Much longer answer. When I get there I'll come back and answer it properly.

Cost-wise the thing I find extremely strange as a foreigner is the US insistence that people should do a full year BS before studying law and medicine. It doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. Here you just study the field you want to practice from the start.

The costs by themselves are also shocking to be fair. Here the full four years of a law degree allowing you to pass the bar would only set you back 753€ to which you would probably have to add a year of preparation and the cost of the exam itself which probably bring you to somewhere between 2000€ and 4000€ for the academic part of actually becoming a lawyer.

Dig deep into understanding capacitors, inductors, and all the first order math around them, then impedance, then get a grasp of the hidden capacitors in inductors, and the hidden inductors in capacitors, and you'll be in a pretty good position, with a path that you should be able to see fairly well.

Once upon a long time ago, when I lived in Florida, I was interested in running for election as a county judge. There were provisions in the statutes for small counties (under 40k population). There was a special program only offered at UF in Gainesville that was 3 years long and only for people who wanted to run for County Judge. I believe even though it was the same length as a regular JD, that if you passed this course you could not sit for the bar exam.
