In Australia we've had free real time bank payments for four years now. I am still yet to make a bank transfer as a payment for a regular consumer purchase and have never seen it so much as offered as an option.

Would you know enough about the different systems to talk about why ours hasn't touched b2c but you expect the US one to upend the cc industry?

Wait, what? Where do they say that?

Why would you do such a complicated thing?
I don't think that comment is part of the HN "spirit" at all. It's just a snide remark.
How is this related to pledge? Even if you hate everyone that works on OpenBSD, software not being allowed to make system calls it doesn't need to make is a good security practice. And with a Linux implementation of it, you don't need to involve yourself with OpenBSD. Steal the good parts, basically.
20mg is a high starting dose.
I’m on 10mg for anxiety (and maybe depression) and it has worked very well. The first few weeks were fairly physically bad but since then I have noticed minimal side effects. It sounds like you are a “zombie” right now. I haven’t noticed any mental decline and my motivation is much better since Im not stuck in anxiety loops. I’ve gone back to the gym, use less recreational drugs and get more done (important as a dad) since going on them.
> Thanks, learned something new today with return-from! I’d be curious how different cl implementations implement it.

At least in SBCL, with it compiling the function, it turns into exactly the kind of assembly code you'd expect. Using disassemble:

CL-USER> (defun foo (n)
(when (< n 0) (return-from foo 20))
(* 20 n))

CL-USER> (disassemble #'foo)
; disassembly for FOO
; Size: 54 bytes. Origin: #x53642F41 ; FOO
; 41: 498B4510 MOV RAX, [R13+16] ; thread.binding-stack-pointer
; 45: 488945F8 MOV [RBP-8], RAX

; 73: EBF3 JMP L0
; 75: CC10 INT3 16 ; Invalid argument count trap

This sets up the call for the comparison, conditionally jumps based on the result (JL), and then returns one of the two results. Note that the "40" in 5C and 6E are really "20", this is a consequence of how many CL implementations handle integers, the low-order bit is used as a tag so not really part of the value. If you wrote it in C it would be very similar.

https://godbolt.org/z/cYPhdW3qd

The biggest difference is that the C version doesn't need a call for the comparison.

What to Expect from the Future of Travel
As always, it depends on what your goal is.

An unambiguous parser is easier to write tests for. It leads to fewer subtle "gotchas" where something syntax checks and compiles but is interpreted by the compiler as something very different than what the programmer intended. It's easier for third parties to write their own parsers and tooling for the language if they can target a formal grammar as opposed to the behavior of your Turing complete code.

But sometimes you don't care about any of those things. Especially if you're talking about a language with a small surface area. Or if you have to deal with legacy stuff (for example, parsing something like C++ that is heavily context sensitive, in which case trying to shoehorn things into a formal CFG so you can feed it to a generator might actually make things much harder than they have to be).
I had not seen that but it looks super interesting and potentially useful! Thanks for sharing!
Right, so 28% is just a funny number.
Sure, you can make new transactions that do whatever you want, but can you force the recipient (edit: or smart contract author) to create a transaction that returns the tokens or do you have to hope they'll do it on request?

Nothing.

I was put on them pretty young, along with a few other things. I don't remember much different in my day to day. I don't get why I was diagnosed with depression at the time, as I was an angry and ambitious kid, not a depressed one. It wouldn't be until years later I felt anything resembling depression and it certainly was much different than what I felt in my pre teen/teen years.

They did screw me out of some oppurtunities later on, which sucked at the time I guess, but it worked out well in the end.

Funny, I didn't learn about he nasty side effects till I was off them for years, And I would certainly prefer something else nowadays.

I now have a perverse urge to invent a sculptural writing system just so I can break this completely reasonable claim.
Preferred shares, covenants, etc - there’s no way you can guarantee an employee static dollars without finessing the cap table. The things that keep the compensation static on paper are usually tested and stressed during an acquisition, and a public offering at a valuation lower than the highest priced round - additional terms begin at those points: clawbacks, earn outs, lockups, tips, first rights of refusal, and new things fresh mbas dream up…
So? When time is short, nobody knows which ideas are right.
The problem is that the people making these decisions are terrified. Indeed, the people who ought to have made the most careful study of COVID, act most terrified of it. So, either the terror is the result of careful, inadequately disclosed study of the virus, or these agencies are unable to curb the desperation of voters and politicians to do something, anything to protect themselves and their loved ones from something that was seriously overhyped from the start.
They were a DeFi ponzi chain which was obviously going to fail to anyone who spent time looking into it. They were printing a stablecoin backed by nothing.

Far different from the blue chip DeFi apps on Ethereum that the OP listed, which process billions of dollars per day without issue.

DeFi makes things more transparent, but it doesn't make them risk free.

I personally profited off the collapse because of the transparency. Couldn't do the same with Celsius or traditional finance.

My insurance potentially would not cover 10mg, so I'd split the 20mg tablets to 10mg per day for the first week, I suppose.

SSRIs don't seem to treat OCD at low doses, so they want me to take 20mg from the beginning.
There’s a lot of ways to replicate zone data of which zone transfers are the worst. I’ve never used the protocol. Use scp or rsync.

I would say before resorting to exogenous chemicals, try working out. Weightlifting changed my life. Maybe it will help you, maybe not, but there seems to be a habit to treat symptoms rather than address underlying causes.
I think more programming power is useful in the service of stopping bugs; for instance, you could have a language where the part that "does stuff" isn't Turing complete, but the part that "stops incorrect stuff from happening" (the type system) is.
Maybe caught your eyeball but not your brain. Your word soup doesn't hide your inability to form coherent thoughts, in fact it highlights it.
The new MultiplayerSynchronizer and MultiplayerSpawner nodes in Godot 4 (still in alpha, beta soon) make life so much easier. I'm going to be submitting a demo for using them hopefully next week - but generally you just check some boxes for properties to be synced at spawn or continuously and set the network authority for each of them (aka Player 2 is master of his object, but Player 1 is master of the rest of the world) and it does the rest.
And, pay out for NG for the ten years what it would have cost for the renewables to start generating immediately.

How is this better than SyncThing?

SyncThing works across the Internet. If you think your GUI is better, why not integrate the syncthing backend? If you think your LAN transfer is faster, why not contribute that code to syncthing?

That's not an issue if you have a way to pin/unpin references as they move into the non-GCed world; a lot of GCed languages like Java/Python have native bridging.

It is a good way to get memory leaks, but a lot of websites already have those.
tanka helped me make peace with k8s (yaml) or at least made for a good learning environment for k8s than the other options. Wonder about other peoples experience or their rite of config tool passage
My anxiety was “manageable” for most of my life but this year it boiled over. I would get something like panic attacks multiple times a day with a racing heart and was constantly distracted by catastrophic thinking the whole day so I knew I couldn’t manage basic life by myself anymore. I’ve been quite happy with SSRIs but I wouldn’t mind going off them once my life and the world settles down.

Basically I felt like I didn’t have the mental energy to fight with just active methods like meditation and needed some passive baseline help from medication
Maybe libuv? It's used by node and julia. It's not a full standard library by any means, but it would give you the event loop with async/networking/io/threading.
I find the bigger problem is people can't understand that often there's just bad guys vs bad guys. Sure, Putin is an evil, murderous dictator who belongs in prison for the rest of his life.

Now, what should happen to Obama for committing the coup in Ukraine? He bragged about negotiating the coup before the previous leaders had to flee and the Assistant Secretary of State and Ukrainian ambassador were caught on tape talking about "midwifing this thing in" and making sure their hand-selected candidate became the leader.

I find there's nothing bad enough I can say about Putin that allows anyone to even consider any nuance.
If I recall correctly, Infernosoft developed a type of tabbed dialog, the crowded tabs of which were shuffled anew in relation to the clicked (active) tab.

Other ingenious features followed, as if there were no limit to the creativity that Infernosoft could inflict on its customers. A clear and intelligible application menu was replaced by a set of "ribbons" that shuffled function buttons in relation to the clicked (active) button.

A clear and intelligible OS menu was replaced by a set of active buttons that flipped and showed images dynamically when the user the clicked "Start" menu button. The Start menu button was later replaced because it was excessively identifiable.

In later years, Infernosoft became drunk with success and stock options, and implemented a helpful character that would appear and make useless suggestions when people began to create office-related documents. Following the worldwide success of this beloved character, unseen macros were added to office documents that run without warning and can call Internet infrastructure to download very usable tools that have the ability to compromise Inferndows OS.

Such heights of usability were merely the stuff of nerdy dreams before Infernosoft achieved its total market dominance.

What's the point of allowing a trailing comma? A delimiter symbol is a delimiter symbol, be it a an opening curly brace or a comma between elements, and one can simply align delimeters.

Immigrants and expats are different categories of international migration.

There's a sort of stupid Twitter meme going around that whether someone is an "immigrant" or "expat" depends on their demographics (race, wealth, etc). It should be immediately obvious to an ordinary observer that this isn't true.

It annoys me when people talk about what McCarthy did, and credit to him features that only appeared later and were borrowed from elsewhere.

For example this article brings up static typing as one of Lisp's innovations. In fact that first appeared in ALGOL-60 and didn't make its way into Lisp until 1962.

And, more egregiously, the article lists closures. In fact the first Lisp with closures was Scheme in the 1970s. And it didn't invent them - the idea appeared in Pascal first. (Though because it lacked true garbage collection, Pascal only allowed you to pass closures into functions, and not return them. this greatly limited their utility.)

To demonstrate how much those features are not core to Lisp, one of the most widely used Lisp applications is emacs. But it did not get support lexical scope or closures until 2012!

This, but also I like to at least have a Hello World console app (or API server or web page or database reader or whatever the bare minimum is) that I can play around with and know that I can create something from scratch and not be entirely at the mercy of whatever the work infrastructure is.

But I also agree with the last sentence. When you are just starting out in your career, it's nice to have something more complex (I used to write sudoku solvers) to really get the feel of things. I'd never do that anymore though, as most things are similar enough to something I'm already pretty comfortable with.
> ignore how much worse it would have been if lockdowns were not implemented, if air travel continued, and if we treated it like the flu

This is some pretty heavy speculation. I agree the article was plenty biased (what isn't, as we've all learned these days), but I don't think it's a meritless argument, and it certainly isn't the straw man that you painted.
New in Java 18: Deprecation of Finalization Mechanism
Do not develop if you cannot communicate. These skills directly depend upon another. If you can still manage to get the position, go get the money - either be very disciplined or quit soon, no inbetween.
both symbols are delimiters, one can choose to align them together even when they are not the same character. Opening and closing braces aren't the same character either, but people have been aligning them for ages, I don't see a reason why commas, while being part of the same expression, should not follow the same principle.
> My late friend Stan Ulam used to remark that his life was sharply divided into two halves. In the first half, he was always the youngest person in the group; in the second half, he was always the oldest. There was no transitional period.

Agree.
My impression working with a couple pubilic health agencies over the last half decade or so is that they are considered effectively "rogue" by the institutions they are accountable to, they operate as surveillance organizations with the same kind of secrecy culture as intelligence work, their management staff revolve in and out from international NGOs and univeristy admins, they treat privacy laws and policy with contempt, epidemiologists aren't doctors or biologists but "social scientists" with a particular critical bent, and they are very concerned about being held accountable for the policies they have influenced and executed because they know what they tried to do.

Mostly, they are good people wanting to do good work, but imo, public health agencies have become a para-intelligence services with explicitly political aims. There is a network of academics who see health and health information as a policy lever, and they have been out in force leveraging it through public health agencies during the pandemic.

I think they have discredited themselves over travel bans, vax passports, the objectively insane and poisonous rhetoric about the "hesitant," and arbitrary mandates with no accountability for those who enforced them. I don't think they can be trusted to be arbiters of science for people with a basic statistical reasoning skills and a belief in the existence of truth. The article articulates a more general and relevant sentiment, which is that the medical establishment has forfeited its public trust.
Also, the zone file format is defined by an RFC. Which is why several a lot if DNS software uses that format, not just bind. Bind in particular, is conservative about deviating from the standardized format.
The one thing you can count of with google is that they will start something interesting and make sure to leave you up a creek without a paddle when they drop it without warning.
No, it's decided by an unelected cabal of experts (appointed by the previous cabal of experts), who vet and haze new entrants for years and decades, before so much as giving them five minutes of their time, or letting them speak to a room full of laymen who don't know better (undergraduates).

You're right, though, public vaccine discourse would have been significantly better if we required internet research experts like Joe Rogan or any of the talking heads on Fox to have a PHD in immunology or epidemiology or at least a double-masters in biology and economics before we allowed them to speak to more than ~ten people at a time.
Can't tell if serious or satire.

There are absolutely people interested in using Godot as a game engine, including using it to make games for consoles. But many don't, because porting to consoles is painful and expensive, apparently involving third parties as a general rule.

Obviously people for whom porting to consoles is a high priority are unlikely to choose Godot right this second, but we're talking about potential users as well, not just the current exact userbase.
Sometimes it is just bad guys versus bad guys. I don't think that's the case here, but let's humor that argument. Good and bad isn't a simple binary - it's a scale. And I have yet to see an anti-Western narrative on the Ukraine war that doesn't use vastly different yardsticks of what is acceptable behavior for the West versus Russia.

I have been taking 10mg Lexapro for the past 4ish years for OCD. Has been working great with minimal side effects. I don't know if I'm less smart, but I don't care if I am, I'm able to enjoy life more.

I was very scared to start the medicine, and I wish I would have started sooner in my life. I was scared enough that when I finally dove in, I would cut the 5mg pills in half so that I would ramp up from 2.5mg.
I wish I understood any of what they did in lisp. How does one learn?
