Exactly. Removal of some of the coinage and paper was nationwide. They are no longer legal tender.

While all cards in Canada may have chip and PIN, no such event occurred where across the nation everyone started using it for every purchase, like there was no transition, nor different options to use with the same card. Consider contactless-enabled card payments as an example (like the original post did).

The assertion that the United States is somehow behind Canada in payment technology because all credit card issuers do not issue cards with chip and PIN seems invalid to me. Additionally the surprise at not requiring signatures. Merchants have been accepting contact-less enabled card payments in the United States, requiring no signature, for quite awhile.
That was very much pre FAANG as a construct. Apple, since it’s second coming, has never be in an unsafe position.
I didn't say that you necessarily or explicitly endorse this position but your comment unfortunately came cross as forgiving of this practice.

Also, I don't see how this behavior can be viewed as rational since we're talking about a research institution here that's supposed to be concerned with scientific excellence hiring the best regardless of their background, and not some road trip with your buddies where you get to pick and choose who will be invited to join you.

I see no rationality in this behavior at all, just outright bias and discrimination.
Yes, can you see how that's quite different from building a second ship?
monopoly aside the bigger threat is prolonged stagflation in the economy which will result in dramatic consumer pullback which will kill the RoI of advertising. of course, this will hurt far more than Google and Meta
Funny that I was about to comment "it doesn't seem so bad, just draw a directed graph to work it out". Reading your comment it does seem a little unreasonable.
Tying any kind measurement to reward is doomed to lead to people gaming the system. Doesn't matter if you're measuring input, output, stress level, time spent in the office - people will always game the system, because why the hell would anyone try to do a good job only to be punished because of not meeting the metrics expectation?

In order to be accurate, measurements must be completely neutral, and their only purpose should be to signal to a human, perhaps a senior, that something is wrong. Then the human can intervene, check the whole process and make decisions on how to remove the issue.

I wanted to love Tot, but its iCloud sync just isn’t good. In my first week or so of ownership, sync between my devices stopped working a couple of times. I followed the instructions (https://support.iconfactory.com/kb/tot/icloud-sync-not-worki...), and that worked for a while, but then it un-synced again. I ended up getting a refund for it.

In the end, I stuck with Drafts. It doesn’t have the 7-item feature/gimmick, and it’s not as pretty, but it’s been 100% rock solid for me for years.
I gotta ask, how do people use this in the real world?

How do attachments and images work?

Does it work with O365? Can I sync my calendars?

Why not just use thunderbird or something?

Genuinely curious
That is assuming things are improving. If you aren't improving anything, then yeah, you don't have anything to say.
I wish I could find the original link but I remember years ago a HN submission from a startup doing document summarization. The founder was on the discussion and responding to question about what documents are not possible to summarize with his software. Their response was after lots of research they determined that legal documents are the most challenging to summarize because they are intentionally obfuscated
Yes I did. They're two different ways of seeing the same thing, but tell a different story:

* Wechat is used by 1.4 billion people, Whatsapp is used by 2 billion people. Clearly both apps are popular (although Whatsapp wins).

* Wechat is used by a single market, Whatsapp is used throughout the world. Clearly one has more potential than the other.

There's a large tradition of eating marine arthropods (lobster, crab), and plenty of eating insects in africa (https://html.duckduckgo.com/html?q=insect%20eaten%20africa) and wider:

"Many cultures embrace the eating of insects. Edible insects have long been used by ethnic groups in Asia, Africa, Mexico and South America as cheap and sustainable sources of protein. Up to 2,086 species are eaten by 3,071 ethnic groups in 130 countries." - and there's plenty more of that

My company has branches in all these countries and we also have contracts with IT companies in India; here is what I see:

- Western Europe is a very wide spectrum, where Germany, The Netherlands and UK are a lot higher than Spain, Italy or even France. It can be more than double at some levels.

- employees in India are a lot cheaper than Western Europe, but contractors of the same quality can be extremely expensive - there is a price cartel, the actual people get 1/4 to 1/3 of what is charged for their work

- qualified people in India cost about the same as Eastern Europe, not Western Europe. One thing to consider is that salaries in Madrid are barely higher than Bucharest, while the cost of living is also higher, the quality of life can be better in Bucharest sometimes. I have many colleagues that moved from Madrid or Barcelona to UK or Germany as soon as they got the occasion.

- salaries for my colleagues in Pakistan are lower than colleagues in India, but it depends a lot on position (job type and level) and city, so I cannot calculate a number for the difference between the countries
A lot of this is driven by inertia. When a lawyer goes to write a contract, she'll typically start with a prior contract or form agreement. This will either be used as a template, or large chunks will be borrowed and modified as needed. In either case, the lawyer is unlikely to reword a bunch of provisions in an attempt to improve readability. It's like the legal version of Chesterton's Fence — if you don't know why a particular clause is phrased a particular way, you leave it as-is. Your client/partner might ding you if you include a boilerplate provision you shouldn't have, but you'd probably get in more trouble if you affirmatively reworded something and broke a cross-reference or other logical linkage that was supposed to remain in place.

As a result, language that was written a long time ago is still circulating in modern agreements. Note: I'm not defending any of this. As a lawer-turned-founder, I try to keep my agreements as short as possible!

Milestone: My archaeology newsletter just hit 1K subs - next stop, monetization
So excited! I'm having a ton of fun with it and growing organically (mostly reddit). Woohoo!

Next stop, monetization. I think I'll make the current format paid, and offer a truncated version to free subs. Pricing this type of thing is really hard, but I'm thinking $8/mo. Would really love feedback/thoughts if any of you have done this type of thing before!

No, they don’t care what I think (hence being invisible). It doesn’t bug me too much, certainly not enough to be an ass about it. Sorry if I wasn’t clear with the invisible comment.

However, reading your comment again proves my point. Perhaps not invisible, certainly irrelevant. One suggestion, pay attention to what we all did wrong then so as to not make the same mistakes now.
These aren't adults, they're embryos. What differentiates them? Mere anthrocentrism is not a logical argument.
Accurate for law, too.

In a contract:

-ip lawyer drafts ip paragraph (based on weird world of ip law)
-litigator drafts termination clause

The fact that matchmakers always make way more money than the makers is not a new phenomenon.

As a matter of fact, I'd wager that it's been this way since the day man invented barter.
Grandparent is a scientist who's familiar with latex.
Yeah, but there's also a reason why you can still run most Windows 95-era apps on today's PCs, vs not being able to run most 2-year-old games on M1 Macs. Rosetta is pretty amazing but it's far from actual compatibility.

Apple's approach to backward compatibility is very different from Microsoft's.

It's not uniquely a Microsoft thing, either. Nvidia's driver updates frequently (in fact almost always) have game-specific optimizations. Antivirus and firewall apps frequently have to make exceptions for certain apps. WINE and Proton operate on per-game optimizations. Input controller managers (like Steam's profiles) have different settings per game. DirectX itself does a lot of backward compatibility stuff, AND allow different versions to coexist on the same PC (vs the relatively tiny market that exists for Metal or Vulkan).

All these things contribute to PC gaming vastly outselling the tiny Mac gaming market. As a Mac user, I wish that weren't so! But MS's approach is way better for devs and users in that case, even at the cost of the Windows APIs and libs being huge with a decades-long tail.
About all I end up sketching is geometry/trigonometry and that's exceedingly rare these days. Programming classes was math-heavy, but in more than 30 years of doing it for a living I've never used more than pretty simple math. Programming is far more logic than math. There have been a couple of occasions where calculus would have been useful--but googling the answer or brute-forcing the answer was far faster than scraping the rust off my calculus.
For mice surely too then, no?
Once there's a book for Rust of the same caliber and depth as e.g. Stroustrup's for C++, I'll get that. But "how to?" books. No. There's no point. The web does that.

I also have a hard time reading books these days because I just fall asleep once I curl up with them.

I do occasionally pick up reference books and flip through them but don't in general buy new ones. For some specialized domain I'll try to find classic CS textbooks on the topic. But their price has gotten crazy.

But I did just line up all my classics (Knuth, Smalltalk Blue Book, "The Linux Programming Interface" etc.) in a nice line on my desk so they'd be visible in my webcam for calls ;-) Nice and pretentious.
> steep part of the S curve

What part again? Are you claiming that their growth is linear?
You must separate the game from its presentation when considering game as art. Chess figurines can be artful, but that does not mean that the act of playing them becomes art. That same separation translates to Braid and The Witness: how is requiring to press a button to reverse the player actions in a specific way in itself art? I'm deliberately separating that from the notion of "time reversal" here because that's how that action is embedded into the game's presentation. The actual physical flow of time for the player in the real world is unaffected by the button press; so this separation is justified. Therefore, the final flow reversal from the phantasy to the real plot in the last level is just a twist that happens in the presentation and not a consequence of the game rules.

The Witness is a slightly more interesting case in that it presents a sequence of evolving puzzle rules. The rule evolution again relies on presentation aspects to achieve the "twist": early puzzles are clearly framed to stress the notion that puzzles are limited to clearly discernable canvases. Later puzzles dissolve these boundaries until they are no longer present and the puzzles are simply part of the environment. This sequence is only partially gated by the game (whether or sequencing/gating in a game is part of the rules or the presentation is another can of worms). The only real change from clearly framed to unframed puzzles here is that the problem statement transforms into finding the right viewpoint. Which part of this is art?

Amazon sells (at least in EU) CC annual prepaid subscription. Buy that instead and redeem it on Adobe to activate subscription.

I think doing a full rewrite is the least thing you should consider. You should think first the least risky things to this mess. Remember your team is small and the revenue is huge(20M/year lol). I will list some things to consider (importance order) and the others can consider more points, of course:

- git: More productive and more control over the code base and the each member team responsibilities. Don't change the structure of the code. If it's a monorepo, leave it as it is. Just create simple branches like, prod and dev. Consider putting nginx configuration into the repositories as well (since it's part of the application).

- Documentation Via Comments: In this part you should improve a little of culture in this team, new code should be documented at least using comments.

- Test environment: now you have a dev branch you can push all the code to this new test environment and test things without worries. If it's possible start to write configuration environment case it's needed.

- CI/CD: now everything is traceable by git, you can write a routine to deploy every branch on it's place. Some tools self hosted you can consider: Jenkins or Drone.io are great and requires almost no maintenance(no need to hire a devops to work on this)

- Database: you have test environment and ci/cd, now you can TEST(what a great news) your database migrations. In php I can remember of phinx to starting to write migrations for this application.

- Auto Tests: I think unit testing could be considered when adding new code. Old code just leave as it is.

If you apply at least 3 things of this list I think at this point you will see that's a rewrite could be not that necessary.

MC tends to be more physically accurate (in the limit of a large number of particle histories) because it can simulate radiation transport in continuous space, energy, and angular distribution. Deterministic methods can be faster, but the discretization process is somewhat of a dark art because the underlying distributions can be highly nonlinear and rapidly varying. A combination of methods with varying levels of fidelity are typically used in real nuclear engineering applications, and are always referenced back to a common suite of experimental benchmarks for validation.
Perl is a write-only language. I believe in making code readable. (And in the very rare situation where readable and efficient conflict and it matters I write the readable version as a comment to the efficient version.)

More like it managed systemd services/units across the cluster, like a distributed systemd.

That was still early days for systemd-nspawn, folks would be using docker containers under systemd services. And that caused heaps of other problems because docker was aspiring to do PID 1's jobs as well.
As in real life, players could make far more money on the stock exchanges than by street crime. Stocks responded strongly to events in the game world after they occurred, so as soon as you knew something was going down, making the proper investment was a pretty sure win.
That broke the game balance.

I took a look at Ada recently and was disappointed by how they've adopted an NPM-style package management approach. This was seemingly inspired by Rust -- Ada even calls its packages "crates" -- but the "bazillion micropackages owned by Internet randos" structure these tools encourage undermines many of the security benefits of both languages.

Does anyone know if there's a way to get a modern Ada compiler toolchain (and IDE support etc) without depending on this ecosystem?

IANAL, but I AM a patent agent, which means I passed the Patent Bar. So I haven't dealt in contracts, but a lot of the same considerations apply to patent claims.

There is some claim language which is absolutely not required and any lawyer who uses it is just showing off. The article mentioned "aforesaid" which is a prime example in contracts (in patent claims, it's just "said").

For example:

A TCP packet, comprising TCP header and body,
where said header comprises etc. etc.

-- or --

A TCP packet, comprising TCP header and body,
where the header comprises etc. etc.

The second is absolutely as valid as the first. "The" is just as good as "said."

Another example:

What is claimed and desired to be secured by US Letters Patent, is

-- or --

I claim

The first one is just pretentious. It adds nothing.

Maybe you don't like "comprising"? Well, that one is specialized language.

A chair, comprising four legs, a seat, and a back

-- or --

A chair, consisting of four legs, a seat, and a back

The second is not just as good as the first. "Comprising" allows for the chair to have arms, while "consisting of" does not.

Here's a good example of 'center-embedded clauses' making a paragraph difficult to interpret - it's from the revamped USA-Canada-Mexico trade deal, specifically a side agreement between the USA and Canada on energy-related trade:

> "Each Party shall endeavor to ensure that energy-related activities that do not result in a facility exceeding its previously authorized capacity and that are limited to performing maintenance work on, or ensuring the safety of, existing cross-border infrastructure may be undertaken under the initial authorization and shall not require a new authorization."

Unpacking all this is rather difficult. The intent appears to be ensuring that energy-related activities should not require periodic re-authorization by a regulatory body after an initial authorization is granted. An example would certainly help - a cross-border power grid interconnect, say.

The embedded clauses are of two different kinds. If our grid interconnect doubles its capacity, this would be a violation of the first (restrictive) clause, and would thus require a new round of authorization. Under the second (permissive) clause, one can shut down the grid interconnect for safety or maintenance reasons. Taking the grid interconnect offline to restrict supply and jack up prices would thus be a violation, although one could monkey around with this (see Russia shutting down Nordstream to Europe for 'maintenance' at present).

That's just one paragraph, the document is hundreds of pages of this kind of thing.
