>whereas I would be very surprised if any startup doesn't use Figma for UI design.

have startups stopped using Invision?

>acquirers desperation (very high),

I would think acquirers desperation (very high) would be another word for 'dump this stock' which to me is what the article seems really about. People dumped adobe, why because Figma not worth that unless acquirers desperation (very high). uh oh, who wants to hold a desperate company?
Does Rust have a special interest group that's working with the kernel engineers to figure out how best to go about this integration, or is it only kernel devs that are working on this?

I'd like to read more about what the Rust people are working on to help this effort, and if there's any particular nightly feature the kernel requires that will soon reach stable for everybody's benefit.
The author's main point is he worked at Greylock before Adobe - factually accurate.

Also accurate - conflict of interest if he in anyway was part of acquisition efforts.
Probably an exaggeration, but caveats apply.

Say, you get paid in USD.

You got paid: 10000 USD

Income tax: 15%

Government exchange rate: 130 ARS per 1 USD
Unofficial exchange rate: 330 ARS per 1 USD

Now, if you do things like daddy government says and use the official rate, you end up with this amount:

10000 USD * 130 = 1300000 ARS and then 1300000 * (1 - 0.15) = 1105000

But if you do what's good for you and still pay taxes to not go to jail:

10000 USD * 330 = 3300000 ARS and then 3300000 * (1 - 0.15) = 2805000

Now consider your "effective" tax rate:

You got paid: 3300000 ARS (fair market value)

Government rate: (3300000 - 1105000) / 3300000 = 0.66
Unofficial rate: (3300000 - 2805000) / 3300000 = 0.15

Note that it's before you consider future devaluation of peso. For tax purposes you can say you received 3.3M ARS, but just keep it as 10k USD. Then your effective "government cut" rate over the years could very well be in 90% territory if you do the stupid thing and hold pesos.
In Poland, if you want to get into any university, High School diploma is all you need. However, if you want to go the best ones, or to a popular subject (psychology, computer science) in a mediocre one, you need good grades.
> Would it be reasonable for any company to hire Holden? If not, is there any chance for Holden to productively rejoin society?

> I am concerned, however, that a judgment like this will have a chilling effect on the hiring of certain groups of people.

My personal viewpoint on this is that - depending on the range of offences committed - there's some professions / occupations that should get closed off for a good while. You don't want your fraud-convicted individual working in finance or accounts, nor someone convicted of theft, assault, etc. working in people's homes, particularly potentially vulnerable individuals.

The latter case seems to be what Charter is accused of here. It's commendable to hire those that have served their time - to help them rehabilitate and repay any debts to society - but you need to ensure they're not put in a position where they might be tempted to offend again.
Large problems need to be solved in pieces if they are to be solved at all. Anything else is boiling the ocean.
I saw an article recently where an FB spokesperson was arguing—albeit in an indirect, fluffily-phrased way—that in order to be able to only track you in the places X where they're allowed to and not the places Y they're not allowed to, they need to track you everywhere (X+Y) to know if you're in X. That way, presumably, they can be sure to not track you in X.

I gotta find that article again...
absolute garbage. deleteing figma. will not use going forward (adobe is run by hedgies...

WOZ way is a reminder of that fact
I've gone months without rebooting my MBP, and weeks without restarting Firefox. I don't remember the last time software crashed and I lost work.

15 years ago I'd reboot nightly because things were more stable.

20 years ago I debugged an issue in the JVM where it was deleting any file it touched (http://nicklothian.com/blog/2003/08/13/a-java-bug-worthy-of-...).

25 years ago it was normal for a computer to crash multiple times a day and wasn't uncommon for files that had been saved to get corrupted by a crash.

So yeah, very happy with modern software reliability.
Ha, do I feel stupid now! Just checked, and seems like I misconfigured my system (the part that builds the Codex prompt from the schema info) - Invoice and InvoiceLine tabls got confused. After fixing it now, it works as expected (using IL.Total).

Here are some more examples if someone's interested: https://pastebin.com/5Vr08N7z
> And India’s steps to secure its food supplies by limiting first wheat and sugar and now rice exports have sent shock waves through the global food economy.

I wonder if the farm reforms which was later revoked could have made it much easier for India to handle the food crisis. It was one of the most significant reforms enacted, but Modi was forced to back down. But looks like there'll be no choice left but to push it through if the situation worsens.
This rings so true..

..even with Adobe keeping Figma as independent as it can be, it will develop and grow at a much slower pace since there will be no venture capital funds pouring in, and Adobe’s resources drained to pay off the acquisition cost. The only winner is Figma investors. This acquisition is a lose-lose-lose situation for Adobe, Figma, and the design community.
> Get a Japan Rail pass

I am going next month, the Japan Rail pass sounds like a big saving, can I also use Shinkansen trains with the Rail Pass? Specifically the Tokyo to Kyoto route (JR central)?
I got a new M2 Macbook and it's astonishing how much faster the web is. It seems a lot of the lag must just be javascript execution time and not content loading.
But software is faster to write and so in theory cheaper to buy.
I think a better analogy is the internet. Or phones. By any measure, either of those technologies have unleashed a torrent of scams and fraud, especially in the areas where they are largely unregulated.

Of course, I’d say the benefits of cryptocurrencies are far smaller than the benefits of the internet (it’s pretty hard to compete with connecting almost the entire world into a single instant global network for the first time). But some benefits do exist, and I feel like you’re being wilfully blind if you disagree with that.

Of course, you might feel that the downsides (massively) outweigh the upsides. And that’s fine. Others will disagree.

One thing I think we can all agree on is that crypto is at least decentralized and permissionless enough to not go away any time soon, no matter who wants it gone.
I really hope this fails.

Ferrante is extremely likely to actually be someone who was already connected to publishing (either the wife of a celebrated Italian writer, or a nome de plume for both of them), so it's hard to say "she" got there "on merits alone".

But I agree on the rest of the comment.
Thanks for spotting that link.

Digging one link farther reveals the original article [2] which is more detailed and descriptive than the others. The original article explores super-Earths where the primordial H–He atmosphere is retained and traps enough heat to sustain liquid water, and includes simulations of “unbound” super-Earths that are ejected from their star systems. The mathematical model [3] incorporates the initial heat from planet formation and radiogenic heat but does not mention tidal forces.

The original article also includes this discussion of habitability:

Life on the type of planet described in this work would live under considerably different conditions than most life on Earth. The surface pressures in our results are on the order of 100–1,000bar, the pressure range of oceanic floors and trenches. There is no theoretical pressure limit on life, and some of the most extreme examples in Earth’s biosphere thrive at ~500bar. These habitats also receive a negligible amount of direct sunlight, and therefore photosynthesis would not be an optional mechanism to provide for metabolism. Chemoautotrophic life on Earth would be a more likely analogue to possible life on this type of planet.
Trying to understand the rationale here. So Iran are blocking WhatsApp and other messaging services by blacklisting IPs or filtering the traffic? Is the idea that people will connect to random proxy nodes for signal that will circumvent this blocking?

Edit: as a follow up question. Do the people of Iran need messaging access to people outside of Iran or more likely their friends and family within Iran. Most of these messaging services are centralised so blocking them means cutting off communication within the country as well. Maybe they'd benefit from running private messaging servers themselves?
maybe this is a moot question, but if there is an embargo on iran and you host a proxy like that, are you, as an american, not commiting a crime?

The way I understand it people need special licenses in order to operate in iran (meta) and therfore the probability of being sued is very high?
> I hope that if someone writes a book saying people should physically harm you

One could argue that calls for gender-affirming surgeries or treatments are equally, if not, worse. These topics are especially prevalent in the LGBTQ community, as I have found from my experience. Nevertheless, we seem to encourage this kind of behavior whereas we. It is important to be aware of which ideas you are rejecting, especially when the community you seem to be defending is also committing acts of the same caliber.
No matter how good Google chat gets, it’s inevitable that Google will kill it sooner or later. It’s a non starter.
HackerNews loads pretty fast, and would be one of my favorite sites even if it didn't.
The topic was never explored so we don't know if there was no way to know. Instead, epidemiologists just assumed 100% susceptibility, droplet transmission and no seasonality, i.e. that everyone would get infected all at once in one giant wave. This was wrong and also, in contradiction with all pre-existing knowledge of both how coronaviruses work and how SARS-1 worked (SARS-1 was airborne over long distances).
Dunno, maybe it is Stockholm syndrom from using C++ since 1993, but I definitly find easier to understand template metaprogramming than the upcoming GAT, or the whole Pin and PhatomData stuff.
Yes, moving from voice-centric to IP-centric network technology has helped, and 5G paid laudable attention to latency. Their target for 5G is actually 1ms, but of course backhaul will dominate that.
Unfortunately not. But recently serialisation and deserialisation _has_ been added to the standard. So it's something:

https://github.com/w3c/webauthn/pull/1703

Github maintains a Ponyfill for browsers that don't support this standardised serialisation format yet: https://github.com/github/webauthn-json
https://regex101.com/ already does that for you.
What are the means by which a team of 150 can make progress over two years towards that goal?

Such a team can work on improving EC technology. It cannot meaningfully make progress on reconfiguring a city like Houston or Los Angeles or San Francisco.
But performance street cars feel much more niche than gaming rigs. It does feel that performance (or perceived performance) oriented things in the computer market do seem to bleed into the broader market more than other markets. It's an interesting phenomenon.
Add in the rising tide of ML generated content that is able to get itself well placed in search results, diluting information with real value. It's really irritating to start reading something that starts out seeming legit and then you get in a few sentences or paragraphs before it becomes incoherent nonsense.
Jevon’s paradox: “…occurs when technological progress or government policy increases the efficiency with which a resource is used (reducing the amount necessary for any one use), but the falling cost of use increases its demand, negating reductions in resource use.”

Developers will therefore always maximize resource usage as more becomes available.

From some quick googling, everything I can find claims that browsers permanently cache permanent redirects. The MDN also says that a 301 causes search engines to update the link in their index.

Don't just make claims, support them. Link to anything which demonstrates that permanent redirects aren't cached permanently.
Counterexamples can disprove an absolute law, but the topic here is a causal tendency, there are of course some exceptions.
Is the claim that Asian women suffer lower rates of osteoporosis despite lower diary because they consume an alkaline diet something which has been studied at a scale and depth to support a causal link?

Superfoods. Marketing. Chia for example was imported as chicken food first, but producers soon realized that chickens fed with chia produced eggs with smaller yolk.

So importers had seeds which they couldn't sell anymore. The solution? Let's market them as superfoods …
Small IEC mopeds are hideously inefficient. They consume merely 2 or 3 times less fuel than a modern IEC car, despite being an order of magnitude lighter and much slower. Also they emit way more pollutants and are extremely noisy.

Same experience here and also from Nordic country. But tons of dreams where I'm in school only to realize I'm not wearing any pants.

Guess it's also compensated by the number of dreams where there are car problems and parking tickets of all kinds.

This was made in the UK, so overtaking on the right is the proper way. Note the opposite traffing passing on the right too.
Really? With the exception of Office I can't think of a single microsoft product that could ever be considered "good". They have consistently crapped out sub-par products for decades. It would be perplexing if they could actually get any IM software to a good state. This is their 3rd one. They even bought arguably the best one in the world (Skype) in 2009. Which was "coincidentally" the year that Skype usage fell of a cliff.

450 Watts?! Support sticks ?!?! They’ve actually gone insane. What the hell.
Think about it this way..

- "Every startup" does not mean big number. Startup are handful if compared against all kind of business that exist (from car dealers to big retailers to IT behemoths...)

- In typical tech company only handful of people use Figma (Design, PMs, Front end engg)

Whereas Canva's addressable market is anyone and everyone who has need to produce documents that are not wall of text (all young, old - resumes, birthday party invitation,...), all companies (newsletters, flyers for their events,...)
You can also spin it the other way, that Adobe hired an expert on Figma, someone who knew it well, has seen it grow, knew how it looked on the inside, and would probably easily spot any time the Figma team would be bullshitting during negotiations. At least one such person on your team is I think a major asset, but of course someone like that will likely still be connected in some fashion to that company, and create possible conflict of interest situations which means legal risk.
Why didn't this come out when China blocked Signal? And what is Signal doing about China blocking Signal's phone verification system? Can't talk to my parents-in-law in China now without installing that spyware WeChat.
Wow, this is almost exactly as I wanted (except I wanted a horizontal mount akin to blade servers). Never seen it, thanks.
> I doubt a whole team would agree to use this tool though.

Definitively, but it could work if was just one of the possible frontends and create another, for example, web based frontend.

That naturally adds quite a bit of complexity as you either need a central server app that holds the source of truth or handle merging otherwise, be it by let the user take care (e.g., holding it as somewhat merge friendly text records in git) or do come up with some automatic conflict resolution.

IMO that shows why developing and using such CLI tools is somewhat popular; it's really simple to do but often then only works for a single person or a team with a very similar mindset in the usage/tooling regard.
This is basically idiocracy
Doctors are a bit of a giant placebo at times, but they rely on enough material success to back it up.

Medicine is also very very large and very fuzzy when you step out of the time tested knowledge. Reading pudmed is surprising. Everything is statistical and there's always a paper contradicting a previous one.
"You can either submit your Github profile, or your Zachtronics leaderboard."
I had a similar-ish experience between 2005-2010 but not as complex. Teachers could control what programs appeared in the start menu of computers in the class as well as see what is on their screen etc. Don't remember the name of the software.

Was incredibly easy to exploit by invoking windows explorer via a Word toolbar of all things. This meant I could browse the start menu shortcuts of every classroom in the school and open whatever application I wanted even if it was disabled by the teacher.

A relative worked in IT at another school using the same software. I showed it to them and they mentioned it to the company who were installing it in their school. The company refused to believe I could exploit it so easily and even said they would buy me an xBox if it was true. Of course, it was true and when shown proof they went silent and I never got an xBox.
This is a great tutorial. thanks!
NoScript gives you a 90s style web experience. It's vastly superior to what passes for normal these days and blows away AMP pages on page load performance.

Depends where you read. Also how do you read the news of 50 or 100 years ago - isn't that more difficult.

I use UK news sites. BBC Guardian and Telegraph all have their old articles online
Ironically your example would be a pretty great case for someone like me, who occasionally use PHP for fun but don't really use-use it.

$data = file_get_contents(filename: 'php://input');

I would definitely have to google what this means, like why is it opening a file and how is 'php://input' a file?

"We're getting the raw request body"

Is actually a good explanation.

So, someone new to a project, and maybe unfamiliar with the tech, might find this useful.
I think what people are pointing out is that "permissionless" is a function of the legal environment, not the technology. If you "permissionlessly" send some pseudo-dollars to Iran you're relying on your opsec and lack of enforcement, rather than the permission which you didn't get.
I'm from Romania, I still get those recurring nightmares related to uni and even to highschool (some of the HS professors were even more demanding than what I got at uni). I attended uni about 20 years ago.
Thanks. I'm pretty ignorant of the whole field beyond some old basic stuff. But there are contemporary issues that certainly must have drawn attention. E.g.:

* natural language, cognition, and math. There is a book by Ganesalingam about this based on his PhD thesis, that was online a while back but was later taken down.

* Philsophical aspects of complexity theory. Scott Aaronson and Avi Wigderson have both written about this.

* Nonhuman cognition, AI being the closest to available. But would sufficiently smart fish or birds develop mathematics different from human math, given that their sensory systems must be a lot different from ours?

* There is an article by Mirco Manucci that I thought was cool, but might be considered bogus by professionals, about ultrafinitistic model theory. I'd like to know if there is any other work in this area.

* Other nontraditional logic like deep inference (http://alessio.guglielmi.name/res/cos/index.html)

* I've looked at some stuff by J-Y Girard and can't tell what the heck it is about, but some of it has turned out to be important. Some more comprehensible treatments or criticism of his more recent works would help.
The JR pass really is a nobrainer though.

I really recommend doing the math based on your particular itinerary. I've been to Japan twice, 14 days each time, and, at best, I would have broken even on a JR rail pass based on the traveling did. For longer trips, like Tokyo <-> Sapporo airplanes are both quicker and cheaper.
I cheated a lot, both in high school and in university (it was basically standard in both places, and I went to best HS in town and one of best CS universities in the country). Never had any regrets about it. I'm from Eastern Europe, so don't believe in a just and well-organized world, anyway - over here, we view it more as a jungle, so in you manage to get ahead without directly harming anyone, it's ok.

BTW I stopped cheating in university in later years, as the classes got more interesting and we were no-longer required to do brutal workloads (the university stuffs first two years of CS degree with a lot of math and physics, to weed out people who are not tough enough I guess).
I know I'm a contrarian here, but frankly I won't take health suggestions from someone who is an amateur and has never studied the field (where "studied" means at least a degree not taken from Youtube university) and never done proper peer-reviewed research. "My wife feels better" is just different superstition, not science.
The more I think about the current state of things, and the more I learn about the ugly truth behind the industrial revolution prior to workers rights and such, the more I understand how Marx came to his conclusions. And why the communist movement developed.

Last time, the industrial revolution ate the artisans. Then automation ate the blue collar jobs in the industrialized world. It seem digitalization is going to eat the white collar jobs, kind of starting, it seems, with the lower level dev jobs that helped to bring this whole thing about in the first place. Early on it was workers forming unions that brought change about, not sure if white collar employees, currently being highly paid, will do the same thing.
