Lol, I don't have a car and I live with 600 euros a month, I practically don't buy anything, I cook my own food, I steal whatever I can from companies. I barely heat my home, no AC in the summer of course. My carbon footprint is a joke. I am leading as you see, but NOBODY cares that I do, because why would they? The "change your own life, people will follow" is a joke and a call for nothing to change.

By the way I think the French Revolution was presented as a bloodbath because it affected the rich and powerful, and somehow they remained in the Convention all along, it's the "ventre mou" who took back power as soon as popular pressure went down.

Are you sure the Cuban regime is worse today than Batista's was? I wouldn't be so sure.

Revolution are terrible but when they happen it's generally because what was before was rotten.
Oh I understand now. It's the fault of the implementation of the QR reader that you use.

For example all UPI apps have near instant qr recognition at any angle. In fact on my phone, it takes longer for the camera to start than for the QR recognition to finish.

I also think there are a lot of things that QRs can do but NFC cannot. But the opposite is not true
> In some places the merchant frequently passes the fees on to the customer

In the US that is exceedingly rare. The only exceptions I've seen are the government and a few discount gas stations.

But, you're right, in the end it's important to always be aware of the payment rules of each place and optimize accordingly.

> I think it's also common for a credit card to have an annual fee that probably doesn't apply to a debit card.

Most normal credit cards (at least in the US) have no annual fee. A good one is the Citi Double Cash card, no annual fee and unlimited 2% back on everything.

The premium cards have fees, those are rarely worth it unless you travel so much that you can take advantage of all the discounts.
mobile phone market.

You can poll your friends, colleagues, and relatives - how many people use iPhone vs something else. If % is more than 50%, then apple is monopoly effectively

same with mobile tablet market, just make a table of how many ipads vs alternatives.

IIUC, insider trading your own corporate stock is illegal (depending on your position at the company).

This doesn't apply to what you're talking about, though.

The more common crime is giving insider information. Not acting on it - which would be what congress does.

Am I wrong?

Assuming Pelosi is giving her husband insider info (and come on - why NOT assume) - congress has pretty clear laws on things that cannot be shared.

IIUC - giving INSIDER info is only illegal when you either 1) work at the company or 2) obtain the info illegally. Congress people do not work at these companies, and they also are not getting the info illegally.

Is anything we're assuming she's sharing breaching any law?

I can get behind banning Congress from trading - but what about their spouses? What about their cousins and friends? Where do you draw the line?
Good job kid!

Removing HTTP/2 Server Push from Chrome
The ultimate point of the book is to gather support for legislation that would give teeth to antitrust. It needs to reach sufficiently many people for that, and only the likes of Amazon can provide that kind of outreach. If it succeeds, the meager profits off the book that Amazon will skim in the process won't matter. Of course, whether it succeeds or not is a gamble, but it's a reasonable one.
Hey jokethrowaway. I'd love to get more color on your experience upgrading your Next.js sites: feel free to email rauchg@vercel.com.

- On local: `npm i && next dev` is guaranteed to be stable.

- On remote: your pipeline is guaranteed to be stable.

If you have an example where this is not the case, please let me know.
+1 for tiptap, and yjs, used both to build https://www.buildmemo.com 's collaborative editor. Did not use hocuspocus but found it trivial to implement our own node ws backend.
Wow, thanks for the thorough response!

That's awesome, I was assuming a sizable overhead (even if it is for a sizable benefit). But I can see how lots of factors contribute to closing the gap, and HTTP/3 might even be a negative overhead since it almost cuts out a protocol layer by stepping down to UDP.

Thanks again!
That’s fair. They are the only game in town, last I checked, that has full (good) TypeScript support which is a must-have for me. TypeORM is the other I know about and I’ve used it as well but I greatly prefer Prisma.

Other than having to bundle the engine I’ve been very happy with Prisma + PlanetScale. I’m open to any other TypeScript ORMs if you know of them.
This only works if you forget that light is quantized. The place the weirdness really comes in is that if you shoot single photons at a time, you observe the same effects.
I get multiple PayPal requests for money from random throw away accounts with messages ranging from begging for money for something or just phishing invoices like this.

Worst part is that the only option via email is to "Pay". I have to log into PayPal then go through multiple clicks to reject the money request.

Why can't I report & deny in one click?

>Another plaintiffs' attorney, Sol Weiss, said he would begin a probe of the judges' assets, but did not think they had any money to pay a judgment.

Still, I find it hard to believe that two high-profile judges nearing retirement age could possibly be broke. Especially considering that they spent a significant part of their career taking kickbacks.

You can use a "real" programming language for anything more complicated than running a program with some parameters. Really, the only thing the various Shell variants have going for them is that you can type it directly into the console. For any lightly complicated programming task they are abysmal languages.
It is governed by regulation E (https://www.federalreserve.gov/supervisionreg/regecg.htm), and Zelle admits as much on their website (https://www.zellepay.com/financial-education/pay-it-safe/und...).

You're reusing some components from rust-analyzer, so is there any reason you didn't go with a more query-based/demand-driven architecture, e.g. by also using salsa?

Put 3D Metal Printing Services to the Test, by Making a Watch
IMO, a lot of sage advice about TDD, well informed by years of practice, is in two Ian Cooper NDC talks, his controversial-at-the-time "TDD, Where Did It All Go Wrong?"[1] and, seven years later, "TDD Revisited"[2].

The blurb from the latter:

> In this talk we will look at the key Fallacies of Test-Driven Development, such as 'Developers write Unit Tests', or 'Test After is as effective as Test First' and explore a set of Principles that let us write good unit tests instead. Attendees should be able to take away a clear set of guidelines as to how they should be approaching TDD to be successful. The session is intended to be pragmatic advice on how to follow the ideas outlined in my 2013 talk "TDD Where Did it All Go Wrong"

The talks focus on reasons to avoid slavish TDD and advocate for the benefits of judiciously applying TDD's originating principles.

I've had different kinds of interesting gigs. The first kind is what most would consider interesting, working at a small fast-paced startup with much freedom in many of the choices of language, platform, frameworks/libraries. That's the case if you're early. Some of those same roles will end up becoming supporting a mishmash of varying one-off tech for different programs/services which can be challenging but far from interesting.

Another kind of interesting that I'm starting to appreciate is using boring tech to solve or evolve standard platforms to grow with the sophistication of the customer base at a large company. Things move much slower, the tech, languages, tools can feel stagnant. At the same time, you're still solving the problems that need to be solved with good engineering producing pretty clean/clear implementations. Most wouldn't consider this very interesting. It only feels worthwhile when you take into account that you've now shipped improvements to 100,000s or millions of customers. It also helps greatly if you actually believe that what the company does is a largely net positive for society.

As for my personal history of finding interesting jobs, I've found many of them randomly by being open to new experiences. Some were better than others but I don't regret taking any of them. Even the good small/fast ones were only good for about 1.5 - 2.5 years after which my learning opportunities slowed and I moved on.
They do not, in the House. Kansas has four representatives in the United States House of Representatives. California has 52 seats in the House of representatives.
The house of representatives, representing the people, has vastly difference influence between the 4 seats of 3 million Kansa, and the 52 seats of 40 million people California.
The state house, the senate, where each state gets 2 representatives has equal power between them
My strategy for beating middle age: I just had my first kid at 40 and my next one is due just after I'll turn 42. I don't think I'm going to have time for midlife navel-gazing. "What is the point of all this?" is a question that stopped having meaning when my son was born.

Historically, people entered this difficult stage of life at just the moment they were finishing raising their kids. I have to wonder how that changes things, now that older parents are much more common (or, on the other hand, now that so many more people don't have kids at all).

Buckminsterfullerene was discovered after he died, and named after him because of his interest in this type of geometry.

I find your post really irresponsible, and consistent with a general trend of trying to 'cancel' Fuller for taking credit for things which he never actually said or took credit for. Fuller never claimed to have discovered the concept of tensegrity, only specific ideas and example inventions that used the principle.

> The Microsoft example is important. I've never been a fan, but I stand in grudging respect for what they've accomplished with their products as far as backwards compatibility goes,

I was a PM for Visual Basic back in the day. A huge amount of work was done within dev and Office to work around problems with Adobe, Borland, etc. so that compat wasn't broken. It was frustrating and heartening.
I got turned off from TDD in my senior year getting my CS degree.

During class, the teacher taught us TDD, using the Test-Code-Refactor loop. Then he wanted us to write an implementation of Conway's Game of Life using TDD. As the students were doing it, he was doing it as well.

After the lesson but before the exercise, I thought "This looks tedious and looks like it would make coding take far longer than necessary" and just wrote the Game first, then wrote a couple dozen tests. Took me probably about 45 minutes.

At that point, I looked up on the projector and saw the teacher had barely done much more than having a window, a couple buttons, and some squares drawn on it, and a dozen tests making sure the window was created, buttons were created, clicking the button called the function, and that the calls to draw squares succeeded.

What really bothers me about "true" TDD (and TFA points this out), is that if you're writing bare minimum code to make a unit test pass, then it will likely be incorrect. Imagine writing an abs() function, and your first test is "assert (abs(-1) == 1)". So you write in your function "if (i == -1) return 1". Congrats, you wrote the bare minimum code. Tadaa! TDD!

In some countries they call that Tuesday... And the coups often succeed too, and also have military involvement, and aren't embarrassingly poorly executed.

I'm not even talking failed states here, I'm talking about respectable developing countries like Thailand and Turkey. The United States, despite its numerous obvious shortcomings, has it pretty good when it comes to political stability and democracy.
Excuse me, but what the hell? This guy belongs on the chair.
Definitely agree with the part about education and getting kids to learn!

Not sure about the comparison with beta-amyloid though. There are good reasons to think it is involved with Alzheimer's - genetics, histology, etc.

And I don't think many researchers thought that would be the problem solved. It was just a very logical target in tackling a very challenging disease (like all neurodegenerative diseases, basically none of which are cured).
There's been a lot of hand wringing about "how can the SEC sanction an open source software?" The fact of the matter is, code is not value neutral. Code may be protected under free speech, but that doesn't make it legal to actually execute that code.

Just because it's on the blockchain, doesn't mean people aren't ultimately responsible. People chose to develop Tornado Cash, they chose to deploy it to the blockchain, and they chose to run the contracts. And now everyone involved in Etherium has to deal with this sanctioned code touching everything in that space.
Like they currently do.
California has 52 seats. Kansas has 4.
Thanks, the demo isn't mobile responsive quite yet.
The alledged unconstitutional behavior is not Github removing the code, but the policy (sanction) imposed by the US government that led Github to remove the code. The sanctions are unquestionably subject to constitutional review (although the details of how to apply that review in this case are not clear)
> But this event is not about any of that stuff, really; this comes down to a question of fundamental freedoms and human rights

It is not a fundamental freedom nor human right to be able to anonymously transfer money.

Nor do you have a right for your code to be hosted at Github.

I wish people would stop demeaning the real threat to human rights happening across the world.
Well, one of them is still in jail and has been since 2011. He is scheduled to be released in 2035, when he is 85 years old. The other guy was also sentenced to prison in 2011, and was set to be released in 2026. However, he is currently on house arrest since 2020 because of Covid or something.
Brave warriors implement Forth.

Seriously tho, the weird thing about Forth is that it's one of those languages that you really have try to implement, at least in the most basic form, to truly grok it. It's all about "implementation details".
Currently, yes. But in principle NFC or alternatives (that could be cheaply/ instantly generated anywhere, including by non-digital physical objects like pieces of paper) should be better and I'm willing to bet will be in the foreseeable future.
From my POV Apple has bent over backward to prevent the "stalker" use case, to such a degree that it degrades the "stolen item" use case.
The part that still needs explaining is how the magnitude can be reduced. IIRC single photons can be polarized by these things, and AFAIK their wavelength is not changed so their energy is unchanged as well.

I have always thought (how I got there I don't know) that the polarizer did something weird like rotate the photon to the correct phase angle AND passed it through with probability based on the angle / or didn't let it pass. This would give a similar reduction in intensity for a desktop experiment while having similar but different details when looking at the photon level. Is this correct?

Sideberry lets you turn off the "tree" feature and just have the vertical tabs.

Yeah, I assume the city they're referring to is Vienna? Just guessing because of its well known high GDP.

However, the point stands. Many cities were bombed to rubble in WWII and they came back. The same could happen in Beirut if a stable political situation were to emerge. Though there are numerous reasons that will be very difficult.
The law surrounding insider trading is incredibly opaque and hard to understand. The way things are currently interpreted, Congress members cannot be guilty of insider trading for acting on confidential information acquired as part of their official duties.
When you are talking about tyranny of the minority, and LGBTQ, are you referring to LGBTQ people being a minority of the population, something like 10%, and are imposing their beliefs and values on everyone else?
The point is more that Fox will routinely elevate issues that aren't really "news" in a traditional sense to major "stories", either to fill time[1] or to make a partisan argument.

The IRS funding is a great example here. The IRA bill indeed increases funding for the Internal Revenue Service by something like 30%. This would be reasonable content to include in a print article, say, of the kind of bureaucratic funding decision that happens thousands of times every year. But Fox went almost wall-to-wall on it, with partisan guest after partisan guest claiming absurd things about "87000 armed agents coming after your money". That's not news. It's just not.

Edit to add: and CNN, really, just doesn't do that. If there's a breaking story that's embarassing to democrats, they run it. They're journalists, it's what they're trained to do. Surely the jouranlists and editors have opinions and perspectives about what's important, but it doesn't rise to the level of "newsworthiness" decisions. They cover what breaks, for the most part.

[1] i.e. "Avoid covering other stuff". That ridiculous Elvis story they were running was, essentially, counterprogramming the revelations about the FBI raid for which there was still no consensus republican response. They couldn't put a talking head on the screen to "explain" it, so they ran some irrelevant nonsense instead of covering breaking news.
If you don't trust the pension system, you can invest your money differently. Buying and paying off a house before reaching retirement age already helps a lot, since it takes away a large future cost factor.
Well, one guy was sentenced to 28 years in prison in 2011 and is still in jail. The other guy got 17.5 years in 2011 and is currently on house arrest since 2020.

Gross. I hate when I'm forced to watch a video to get information.
I think you're probably right. The dynamics I was thinking of within Chaos Theory relate more to interdependence between instances instead of random coincidence.
hi this project sounds great! I've been wanting a large format plotter to help with designing and making patterns. I use a cricut today for small projects. Vinyl cutters are also an option but the cheap ones have terrible software. A combo pen plotter for 36" paper and a larger laser cutter for fabric sounds ideal if one has the space! I'll def read more about your project.

I don't know how do you imagine a typical 'SSH user' looks like, but no company is out there racing to disrupt that particular field. There won't be a security key provider that cares enough to follow WebAuthn spec, but then decides to be lax about SSH usage for user convenience.

EDIT: looked into it a bit more and it appears that truth is somewhere in the middle. I didn't test it, but it's possible that as long as every chain link is fine with it you can opt-out out of user presence check.

https://man.archlinux.org/man/sshd.8#no-touch-required

You need to have a SSH server that agrees to it, SSH key that is specifically made for this use case and maybe a security key that allows it to proceed. Probably worth testing if I find the time for it.
They have been in jail since 2011. This is a separate civil lawsuit unrelated to the criminal charges they were found guilty of over 10 years ago.
