MS-DOS did have a function to change the option character (INT 21h, AH=37h) [1], and the "kernel" always accepted both '\' and '/' as a path separator (and that is still the case today; the shell however, is another story). The same call can also change MS-DOS to require "/DEV/" before device names. [2]

[1] Documented for MS-DOS 2.0; documentation removed for MS-DOS 3.0; still available (according to my source) through at least MS-DOS 3.30

[2] God, why do I still remember this information thirty years later? Sigh.
> Inheritance and interfaces are relationships between classes. But what about relationships between functions?

Classes ARE functions. Conceptually, they are closures with some automatically generated features and language semantics.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrY6xrWp3Gs

Classical inheritance is BAD and you wouldn't want that kind of relationship for functions. Ofc, what the article suggests is basically assertions - why execute code once, when you can do it twice!?

Modern languages should have function signatures. After I write tests (a full testing framework should also be native to a language), being able to get a function signature which ensures a pairing with a specific set of tests would be great. No more side effects added in without breaking tests, ensuring you would have to make a test change, even if it's introducing some new side effect that doesn't break an existing test.
Nobody uses baking soda? Really? I still can't find anything better to remove the fingerprints and other stains off eyeglasses. I would use a pinch of soda, add a few drops of water, then gently rub it around the glass, repeat on the other side and finally rinse it all off. It works better than alcohol and soap. Leaves no residue, no streaks, nothing. Putting glasses on after, feels like switching to 8K from 1080p.
Wow... The US banking system is truly mind boggling.

Huh? Yes your housing costs will be higher but your salary will probably be higher too. I was able to save/invest insane amounts of money by ditching my car and job in suburban NJ and moving to Manhattan.
I suspect they need to spend all that growth and engagement to mask the fact that enough people cannot afford to spend enough such that they earn a profit.

Most people were not able to afford butlers or drivers before, and DoorDash or Uber have not changed that basic fact, even if the butler/driver is split over 3 customers per hour.

Every time I see an example of a door dash order, it is a $30 per person minimum cost. The median annual wage is $44k and 75th percentile is $75k. Who is affording these on a regular basis?
Maintaining an interest rate isn't the same as maintaining a fixed rate of CPI growth, especially not in the short run.
Lightning Network has been going on for years, I at least recall reading about it in 2017 when I started looking into bitcoin

The idea of the Lightning Network is to allow transactions to exist on a separate layer where in theory transaction fees don't have to exist. & transactions don't have to wait for the next block. This allows for microtransactions etc. There are some blockchain transaction fees involved in creating channels & resolving disputes
I have a feeling this will go like the EU sanctions which resulted in EU commiting economic suicide: the European Space Agency will end up being worse off.
If you're a contractor and set your own hours, the relationship is pretty clear.

You could spend 30 minutes to pick something up, or that same 30 minutes has a value of half your hourly rate (minus taxes). Why would you be opposed to anyone doing the calculus on how to best utilize their time?

Realtors certainly will try to get you to sign an exclusivity contract as early as possible. But if you don’t sign, most will show you homes for free. Agents will talk about it like you don’t have a choice to get you to sign, though. Personally, I’d at least demand that such a contract include a cash rebate for a portion of any fees the realtor earns, and I’d want it to be limited to the transaction on a particular home. I wouldn’t sign anything that prohibits me from working with other agents on other purchases.
I feel like Teams is gaslighting me. And my org’s IT signs its praises and is never able to recreate any of my issues.

From the street photography articles I've read; if you can see it from a public space then its fair game, which I think is reasonable. But in your scenario the camera is on your private home, so most people would expect reasonable privacy from being recorded.

Startups and "corporates" never feel bad about breaking the law (only pretending to do so when it's good for PR), why should this guy? Not to mention, I'm not even sure any law was actually broken here.

I too wish we lived in a society where illegal and unethical behavior was called out and shunned regardless of who's doing it, but let's drop the double-standards since we're not living in such a society and things don't look like they're even heading in that direction.
By what metric? The P/E ration for the S&P 500 is not historically very high right now.
Yes I use it regularly. But I don’t have IBS, Crohns, or any other GI disorder. I use it to periodically populate my gut. So to answer “am I satisfied” is difficult. I don’t notice a difference with or without it, because none of us are consciously aware of our gut micro biome. I could say “well I haven’t been sick in years”, but who knows what else contributes to that.

With regard to the Chinese restaurants, some of those are family operations, and so their delivery charges are much less because the person is not really earning a salary. Perhaps they only work for tips.
By not taking part in it, they are not contributing to something they oppose. It's a moral choice for them. My fault for not making that clearer.
I never really appreciated this. The correlation between individual growth and company success is much looser for a software engineer than a PM. You can learn a ton for your first two years as a software engineer at a company that isn't going anywhere. Less so as a PM.
> Give hilariously bad estimates for delivery time.

Huh, I wonder how universal this is. I agree with this take for Lyft and Uber (for rides), but for Uber Eats, at least, it's been incredibly rare for it to take longer than the estimate, and in the majority of cases the food arrives 5-10 minutes faster than the estimate suggests.
I don't think we'll have a choice before long, to be frank. China and Russia are in a military and economic alliance

They're created the BRICS back in 2009 and have been expanding.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BRICS

In reality, if the west views Russia as a threat, then inevitably conflict will arise. The western sanctions locked Russia out of the financial system, which Russia and China had been preparing for. So Russia switched to the Chinese financial system. At this point, Russia has tons of resources and is feeding the Chinese production. China in 2019 was producing 30% of the worlds goods[1].

With Russia locked out of the west and China looking to advance into Taiwan, I don't really see a way that long-term China doesn't cease to produce goods for the west. When they move on Taiwan, the west will sanction them and the west will be unable to produce a large number of goods. Alternatively, Taiwan will fall and be taken without a fight and the west will be subjugated by China.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberpunk:

It's the kind of world that's better to look at than actually inhabit.
It's only tired and copypasta-like because it can't be refuted. He's right. Cryptocurrency had it's shot, here's what we got out of it:

1. People trying to make a currency or interoperable token that they can directly or indirectly profit from

2. People trying to replace traditional object-relational databases or P2P networking with the Blockchain

Neither of those are particularly meaningful to the average person. They buy their Cherry Pepsi with a Mastercard and then listen to Podcasts on Spotify or the preinstalled iPhone app. People won't care about this stuff until it's meaningfully integrated into our lives, which is something all of these cryptocurrencies have failed to do. There is no killer app, there is no data revolution. People have been beating this decentralization drum for decades, and nothing happened. If you think that Cryptocurrency is going to deliver us from surveillance capitalism into another digital golden age, then you're failing to see the entire picture. Luckily, proving this thesis right is simple: we just have to wait and watch as cryptocurrency values continue to plummet, and as VC interest in Blockchain-backed technology dries up. It's looking increasingly correct with every passing day.

It's fun being starry-eyed about cool tech, but the Blockchain is a failed experiment. Our suspected fears are true: running an anonymous, distributed and append-only ledger where anyone can be an operator is a bad idea.
China's plans are to maintain Zero-COVID until at least the mid 2020's. China will not sort itself out. It's a complete disaster
If DoorDash literally just gives their runners a credit card and pays whatever the restaurant charges, can restaurants just charge them like $1000 for a pizza? There must be a limit but I wonder what it is...
Yes they did, Maiden Lane [1], which was distinct from TARP you are referring to. I had a somewhat upfront seat at that time and the unequivocal success narrative is, in my opinion, extremely dishonest and manipulative.

We haven’t even started to talk about QE which is actually why the Fed and TARP bailouts (aka investments) ended up being profitable. There are a huge number of losers from 2008 which can’t be seen from a superficial surface view, instead it requires playing out an alternate reality where liquidations were forced, and that is a complex and difficult discussion. Paulson was a brilliant spin doctor and so successful that his fake stories of hundreds of thousands of jobs saved and ATMs that didn’t run out of money is being taken as real history, instead of the evil deceptive game it was to insure all his people continued to dominate global finance. It would take a long discussion to try and explain to you how profoundly unethical and manipulative were the actions they took and the effects those actions still have today in terms of extreme inequality, caused not by capitalism itself, but this crony capitalism.

Bitcoin was born from this reality and highly motivated by it. For a certain generation of finance technologists who had a close view of the inner workings of the system it was obviously rotten and corrupt to the core. The core being fiat.

If you are trying to pretend that by explaining M1 and M3 and the creation of money supply you claim somehow USD is “federated” and not centralized then in my opinion you don’t actually understand what you think you do.

Maybe read up on the Fed window and QE mechanisms and their balance sheet. USD is centralized with Fedwire, OCC, Treasury, Swift, BIS and all their regulatory operations, so they have very good information on most digital dollars in existence and certainly have incredible control over their creation and destruction.

Bitcoin is likely here to stay and in my personal experience most people who hate on it were once believers who bought high then sold low after one of its crashes. they now how a very bitter taste and have decided there is some fundamental flaw with it as an idea, mostly motivated by their own emotions and not logic. the other haters tend to have some deranged love of governments and see it correctly as a challenge to government power so attempt to discredit it, I feel mostly out of anxiety the government isn’t what they think it is and it scares them.

could you give an example of what kind of goods still have strong "demand"? i'm just trying to call out that, in my interpretation, there's a constantly conflicting/competing narrative being passed around with inflation

it's "people are hurting because everything costs more" but "everything costs more because there's still high demand for goods/services", aka, people wanting to blow extra cash they have on stuff

demands for necessities won't go away obviously. i know CPI is tracked per category. you can trace "ok, this specific good cost more in 2022 because of XYZ reasons in its supply chain", most of them oil backed/related

i just don't know how to digest anything related to cost increases other than "it's probably oil" and i'm curious what else there is
Yes, median sales price is down 25-30% since rates started going up.

That said, those same places were up 50-100% during Covid. But the latest drop bring them back to pre-Covid levels.

However, rates just went up 100 bps today and will likely go up by another 100 bps by year end.

Canada is looking at a major correction, but that said, the median price in Canada is 2x the US, so there is plenty of room to fall.
Genuinely curious, I don't hear much criticism of modern Moogs -- are you unhappy with them, or is it just that they don't sound like vintage ones?

With LN you can have a private channel with your friend and do unlimited number of transactions with (literally!) 0 fees. Thanks to recent developments it's also much easier (and cheaper) to then swap those BTC to onchain - sometimes even cheaper than a comparable single onchain BTC transactions.

Yes. I was a CS major. My resume wasn't too different from yours. I got tired of being narrowly focused. Went back to b-school for various reasons, among them, to get a "clean slate" in terms of job opportunities-- ie to avoid being pigeon-holed. It worked, and it was expensive, but the jobs on the other side made it worthwhile. So my journey was: tech, business school, wall street.

From what I can tell there are many opportunities if you are "tech + X", where X is real experience in a (non-tech) industry. In my case it was finance, and once I had a few yrs experience with that, I had lots of choices because every firm wanted someone who both understood their business and how to use technology to supercharge it. Funny enough, 15 years later, I decided to do something different again... and went back to tech.

Yes, lenders can create money because they only need to hold a small reserve should the loan default.

But that monetary inflation multiplier is stable if the money supply is stable.

When the fed buys up assets using new dollars that expands the money supply, which can then be multiplied through lending.

If you tried to get a restraining order for my camera which incidentally overlooks the neighbor's driveway (no kids playing there), you would be laughed at. I'm not breaking any law, nor do I have any ill intent. The kids I incidentally tape are in a school yard across the street from me, and after Uvalde, both the cops and the school admins would welcome another source of information to help them prevent school killings.

Think of it this way- before any of this happened, the cops came to my door and asked politely if we had a video camera facing our neighbor's yard, which would have provided some useful evidence on a car breakin. They didn't say "oh, hey, it's creepy to videotape your neighbor's front yard which is in plain view and has no fence." Combined with the laws of my state, it's clear that videotaping my yard and the neighbor's front yard is not illegal, and in general, seems to be non-creepy.

That sounds about right. I remember having gone to an optometrists office some time back and they were able to cut lenses right there and have glasses ready in an hour. I was amazed and couldn't understand why everyone couldn't do this.

Sunglasses are the worst. They cost basically nothing to make but the profit margin is Inf% b/c of branding. A $20 (at most) pair of non-name sunglasses instantly becomes a $700 pair of glasses once you slap a few PRADA insignias around it.

I used to get my sunglasses from Goodr; they charged $25 for no-slip polarized sunglasses, which were very good. After one of the pairs broke, I decided to get two pairs of Ray-Ban Wayfarers, one for $75, and the other for $200. I knew I was getting fleeced, but I finally wanted a pair of "cool" shades and could finally get them without breaking the bank. :D
OCaml is "sort of like Rust, but with a GC." It could serve as a good introduction to functional programming, but without having to worry about the borrow checker.

I never consider my own costs when choosing how to price a rental. I will always charge market rates. If market rates are higher than my costs, great. I won't lower my rates, I'll just pocket the extra money. Similarly if market rates are lower than my costs, I can't just stubbornly keep the rates high. No one will rent from me. If that goes on for a long time I'll decide it's a non-performing asset and sell it.
This is what I don't understand.

Rolling your own is probably your best bet as being able to check remotely typically means your camera streams are running through a company's servers.
