> The traffic light window controls look way too far into the app's header. Find a happy medium, copy macOS's spacing.

I noticed that too on the screenshots page. And it's weird cause it looks right under the "features you'd love" section on the main page. It looks like most of those images (the traffic light buttons, global menus, folder icons) are faked to look like macOS but then the screenshots don't actually look like that.
How can you make it behave like Linux and Windows? I don't want my applications to persist when their visual presence is gone, it's disingenuous to the user.
Uh. No. When I refund someone I issue a negative credit on my account. It isn’t a debit, strictly speaking.

I am not sure Pine was ever about mass appeal. It was supposed to be for people, who want control over the hardware they own. That seems a little different from mass appeal.

Claims like this are ridiculous on their face. In 1000 years the cryptographic primitives used for this project will be obsolete and broken. That's if we're not all using quantum computers of some kind and "traditional" computing is a relic of the long past.

As a result, why should I trust any other claims made about Arweave? Clearly the project has no sense of its own limitations.

This is not 1290 when Marco Polo was traveling around. This is 2022 when people have seen much faster and nicer alternatives. Nobody is going to put up with days of travel when they can fly anymore.

I'm not convinced trains are more efficient than planes at that distance either - I don't' know how to analyses it, but planes see much less wind resistance because of altitude.
Strictly speaking it’s just different.

The behavior is inherited from the classic Mac OS which initially predates and was developed contemporaneously with Windows. Apple assigned one behavior and Microsoft assigned another. To the extent that one is “more intuitive” it’s because your expectations as to what should happen is different, and “maximize” is a lot easier to behaviorally define, describe and program than “zoom” so GUI programmers preferred it, or knew it better because the behavior and conventions they mimicked in X window managers were taken from what Microsoft was doing at the time.

When screen resolutions are 640x480 or 800x600 or even 1024x768, maybe you just want maximize all the time; but maximize is an anti-feature to me on anything bigger.
Which is why California needs to fix the policies that led to its housing shortage. There is no inherent reason for California to be so expensive, it is a deliberate policy choice driven by local governments.
Exactly. I mentioned it specifically become some sites I have found talk about pH balance and whatnot as if it is ultra important, and I think if you're using a bubbler it's all a moot point anyway. But someone who doesn't know could easily be convinced to buy those things when unless you're commercial, you don't need them. I've made wine, cider, beer, yogurt and kombucha as well, and haven't yet poisoned anyone.

As long as you keep oxygen away, and don't go overkill on the additional spices and herbs, it's really hard to go wrong.
The place I am currently living is called "Homa" in Phuket. I think they are going to open a new one in 2023 in another city (better located).

You can check it out on their website it's really nice. But South-East Asia is really full of condo with nice environments.

The thing I truly enjoy with Homa though, is that they have a 80m pool on the roof top. I am trying to get back in shapes. I love swimming, not so much running. And it's hard to find a pool where you can really swim.

Having all of this inside one place, is really a nice way to stay motivated and hit the gym/pool 4-5 times a week.

It's also one of the first condo I have seen where they try pretty hard to create a sense of community.

- Soccer games every Wednesday
- Movies nights on the rooftop every Tuesday
- Live music every Friday/Saturday
- Muay Thai / Yoga classes
- Once a month you have some nice entrepreneurial meetings.
It's not mandated. You are wrong. Otherwise every restaurant serving a hamburger would have to be shut down.

The FDA has charts that simplify and explain how heat and time will kill pathogens and result in safe food. This is information meant for consumers, not restaurants, which have way different requirements that are meant to produce safe operating and serving environments, so that you don't have to rely on overcooking your meat to ensure food safety. Bringing unground beef to 145 is ONE of those values, but the temp changes based on type of food and the FDA is also open that there are other ways to make sure your food is safe and that lower temps for longer are plenty sufficient.

Restaurants then have a bit of fine print on their menu or somewhere that says "Eating raw or undercooked meat/eggs/shellfish can cause illness" and you can then order an undercooked food item.

They are a Russian company with most engineers in Russia. There had been a strong records in Russian social networks of their engineers supporting Russian attacks on other countries (e.g. there was one engineer back in 2014 who moderated another forum and was banning Ukrainians and expressing glee at annexation of Crimea).

They had been working hard to distance themselves from Russia. You may also notice similar spike in activity from Yandex, who had been publishing open-source project at elevated rate last half a year.

Both of these are perhaps not visual in the same way as this method in the article. But, do illustrate the long history of non-traditional microphone eavesdropping techniques.

New downsides such as? And if having to add a few type definitions to your codebase is "way-ay-ay" more effort, I can only assume you really hate typing, as the mental effort is typically very low (compared to figuring out how to efficiently translate business logic into code, and how to organize code to make it easy for a team to work with over many years as requirements change etc.). There even tools that will generate type definitions for you based on sample data.

I think you can expand this explanation with database terminology.

In modern RDBMS, you could have naive implementation with two account's balance, and increment one decrement the other. But without transactions it just isn't safe, its better to have one row in a table with a debit and credit.

Now if you're doing accounts by hand you really need that single line transaction record.

I have 2 main issues with understanding double entry accounting, that i haven't really been able to grasp properly:

1 - How do i use it to keep track of multiple "currencies"? It's simple enough to remove 1$ from the cash account into the inventory account, but that 1$ i now have in the inventory isn't actually cash... How can i use this to keep track of the number of widgets i actually have in storage? Rather than the cost it took me to get them there.

2 - How do i account for profits? Back to the example, i move the 1$ from my cash onto the inventory. Great now i have 1$ in inventory. I sell half my inventory for 2$. How exactly do i account for this? I still have presumably 0.5$ in inventory, and now i got 2$ in cash, but where did that come from and go?

Presumably i'd take 2$ from the inventory and put it in a client account, but does that mean i now have negative 1$ inventory? Sure the client account would also have another transaction putting the 2$ into my cash account. And wouldn't this make one transaction into actually 2 transactions? One from inventory to client, and one from client to cash?

If you can help me grasp this i would really appreciate it!
You're skipping over the (extremely important) part where you take out a mortgage on property.

So you buy the $500k property with $125k in cash and a $375k mortgage (25-30% down is typical for investment mortgages). Depreciation *plus mortgage interest expense* leads you to (for tax purposes) more or less break even on this investment after 10 years and so you pay no tax.

After those 10 years are up, you've now paid off around $68k of the principal, plus the asset has gained $250k in value. So from your initial $125k of capital invested, you now have ~$400k in capital that you can leverage into a $1.6M property in a 1031 exchange. That bigger loan comes with a much larger mortgage interest expense, so you continue to earn no taxable income while growing a larger and larger asset and taking a (relatively modest) cash-on-cash return.

Like most things in the USA, voting is a local matter, not federal. It would be prohibitive for the post office to manage this across 50 states with differing rules.

States in the US have more atonomy than states in most of the rest of the world. So much so that it often doesn't make sense to compare national US figures to national figures in other nations - education being a good example - https://learn.uvm.edu/blog/blog-education/vermont-eighth-gra...

But the same applies to voting. The federalist system under which the US operates allows communities and localities the flexibility to operate in a manner consistent with local needs and values.
I actually started writing a blog post along this theme but never got very far with it.

I'm not against code storage and representation as text per-se, merely that typing/editing it (text) is a not particularly efficient way of thinking about code.

A lot of people I'd characterise as 'words-per-minute is everything' style thinking are seeking the most efficient way to convert thoughts into text input. From punch-tape to mechanical keyboards the ultimate goal of programming language development is a 'faster keyboard'.

I think this focus on text input as foundational is incorrect. Most text isn't meaningful, the subset of meaningful text is severely constrained by the execution environment of the text. Outside of variable names and naming functions text input just isn't that interesting or important. For example unless you have previously declared one, invoking a function named `ttoString` isn't useful.

This is why I think coding outside some form of IDE (how far along that spectrum is up for debate, but I'd say autocomplete at minimum) is somewhat inefficient. Code is text, but it's also a layer on top of the text, the set of possibilities defined both by the text and the compiler/interpreter (or more specifically as you mention in your comment, AST). Treating code as text where you might rename a function with find-and-replace is frankly, daft and backwards. Your tools should rename the concept/symbol/whatever you're targetting specifically and they should understand your intent and meaning. By focusing monomaniacally on text we're ending up with worse tools.

This also scales to text input more generally. For some reason spell-checking doesn't work for me in Firefox so I'll have no doubt made a bunch of spelling mistakes in this post and it feels a considerably worse way of typing. I don't particularly value the ability to write "ocurence" since it's incorrect. I'd rather have tools that assist me communicating efficiently in a manner understoof (sic) by others. Text is fine but tools are great.

This develops into a more general objection to languages like Python/Ruby/JS but that's a whole other flamewar.

Cocaine is great stuff, with a lot of medical uses, safe enough to include in popular soft drinks.

But when you introduce a delivery system that short circuits your brain's reward circuitry, it's incredibly dangerous and destructive.

Ponzi tokenomics are the crack rocks of blockchain technology, which is itself really nifty. The only thing that can and will stop the tokenomics craze is a popular backslash, which is building.

And as with cocaine, blockchain will be forever slimed by association with this ponzi scheme fad and its devastating impact on millions and millions of families and fortunes.

Only privacy coins which deliver on the original cypherpunk goals of blockchain will survive. And smart contracts won't find any general utility unless and until one arrives that offers reliable homomorphically encrypted private smart contract resolution.
I dunno, sorry, but it honestly seems kinda spammy and it doesn't tell me why I should trust any of the results... it looks and works like any other SEO-optimized "best of" spam site :(

"best national park" = Teton, Bryce, Zion... why does Yellowstone get 3/5 stars? No idea

"air fryer" = random products with generic descriptions, several of which are 3/5 stars (out of the dozens of air fryers available, why are the top 5 the mediocre ones? who's saying they're mediocre? No idea)

"airline to fly to thailand" = two of the five results aren't even airlines

"tech forum" = nearly all useless spam sites

"place to get programming help" = takes forever to load, but actually returned useful results (kudos!)

"restaurants near me" (autosuggested, pushed enter like it said) = nothing happened. UI bug that doesn't select the entry if you push enter instead of clicking on it

"awd suv" = many aren't even cars, and the ones that are just have manufacturer's descriptions instead of any useful comparison

I was excited to try your service, but to be honest, I probably would never use this again after this experience. I would not consider this even early alpha quality, much less beta, because its result sets are largely not trustworthy. The signal to noise ratio is way too low, and your algorithm is totally opaque, and there are no visible signals for me to use to evaluate the quality of your results. If I didn't have foreknowledge of a topic, I would have no way to determine whether to trust your results. Of the topics I AM familiar with, your results were not very convincing... at all. Sorry to be harsh, I hope you guys keep working on this and making it better... but maybe don't make it public yet until it gets much, much better? The first impression was negative for me.

Don't look to people who don't know what they're talking about to "clear things up" for you. If you think they have any qualms about leaving you to deal with the blowback after misleading you with uninformed takes (and pointing the finger at you for putting your faith in them to begin with), then you're setting yourself up to be burned.

There's a reason why everyone who has their ducks in a row (in other words, people with competent legal counsel along with something to lose, e.g. Mozilla, Google, Apple, Microsoft, etc) will bake something like about:license into the stuff they work on, even if it's buried in some "open source licenses" entry of an About screen reachable by the last menu item in the system settings. Spoiler alert: it's because they have to—in order to comply with the terms of the license. It's not because they just think it's the nice thing to do. (And definitely not because it's fun and easy to do, because it's not.)

I'm not sure how you juggle the cognitive dissonance of cramming "Testing audiences respond positively" and "Fossils decided that this is what people want" into the same explanation.

I do agree with the premise that physical buttons and knobs are generally far superior to touchscreen UI's, at least for the common core basic things.

However, I don't agree that it's about the boomers, or the capitalists, or any other Internet strawman forcing something onto the masses against its wishes. I think it REALLY IS a matter of test audiences and "casuals" having tastes that differ from power users and other people that think deeply about a thing. You see this in many different domains.
