AFAIR MC is for Unices only, whereas SC is for Windows. Out of curiosity: why did you decide to use a commercial product when open alternatives are available, such as FAR?
I get your point about pattern of behavior, but it doesn't change mine about who the onus is on. If Apple cannot verify whether gift card usage was legitimate, and takes no steps (e.g. a hard limit on how many gift cards can be used in a transaction) to prevent people from accidentally getting their account killed, that is on Apple.

You're coming off like a "technically correct" guy that completely missed the user experience.
Do those companies that outsource still do their own design? Apple outsources their production to Asia, but they are seen as an American company because they do their own designs. If the same is true for these piano companies I would argue they are still active American piano makers.
As the air shrinks in volume (and as you say, speeds up) it goes up in temp. It dumps sone of that heat into the marble. So when it opens back up, it slows down and cools down. The material choice would seem to be very important. Marble and sandstone both have high thermal mass but low thermal conductivity.
Do you happen to know if there's a linux filesystem that has bitrot protection, but doesn't need snapshots?

- ZFS is not in the Linux kernel so I don't want to use it for a daily work machine

- btrfs works fine but its tools to undelete/recover files when something did go wrong are pretty bad

- XFS looks ancient, not sure how good it is

- ext4 is also pretty aged by now, but is what I use now after my attempt at btrfs. It doesn't have any bitrot protection though

Is there anything else viable today? The above are basically the same choices as I also had 10 years ago

By the way you are mixing everything. I talk about private transport and you give me the figure for total energy consumption... Total energy consumption is not going to increase!!! The petrol burnt in an engine is already counted. Because of all the loss due to the pathetic yield of IEC engines, your are not going to increase the total energy consumption but decrease it when you will electrify transport.

For Switzerland electrification of all private transport represent the addition of 2 nuclear reactors, so no nothing to write home about regarding sizing of the grid.
Yeah I think that's a totally valid approach, but it's important to consider "would I pay for this?", as the answer to that is not always the same as "would I build it?"

Some people might like it more, but it's a terrible model.

Most ISP's can't be trusted, TOFU becomes basically useless. Ignoring that major issue with the model, it's also unusable in especially untrustworthy networks like Airport WiFi. I'm also going to preemptively say that suggesting not to visit new websites on those networks (because you can't TOFU) is just ridiculous.

"It is not awful" in this context is a very strong claim with little backing it up.

Why the intellectual dishonesty? Why do you try to discredit what I say, backed by sources, when you rely on nothing but your own fallible memory to back up your claims? Just back up your claims with sources, it's really not that hard.

If you check the previous links that I posted, you will see that coal production in the west has reduced as well.
I think the community plays a more important role in what they want for F#.
First there was a focus for Fable and targeting frontend, and now you can target Python and potentially use F# there instead of Python.

But the community is interested in a lot of things, so F# doesn't have a real "singular" focus, like Go(backend systems/api's).

F#'s ties with Microsoft is a big productivity boon, but also seems to work against it sometimes...still the community really gets stuff done instead, because it's such a practical language!
> Being honest, when you opened with... ...whatever your thinking there was, I immediately shut down on engagement.

My thinking was the tenor of your comment was overly informal and self-gratifying considering the subject, a major theme of whose teachings was humility. It doesn't quite follow that being antagonistic is not engagement.

> Anyway, you got your chronology slightly wrong but only slightly, so very much well done, and I mean that genuinely, and it only erred in where you placed Acts, which contains the earliest Christian writings. (That we know of (so far))

"The earliest possible date for Luke-Acts is around 62 AD,[citation needed] the time of Paul's imprisonment in Rome, but most scholars date the work to 80–90 AD on the grounds that it uses Mark as a source, looks back on the destruction of Jerusalem, and does not show any awareness of the letters of Paul (which began circulating late in the first century); if it does show awareness of the Pauline epistles, and also of the work of the Jewish historian Josephus, as some believe, then a date in the early 2nd century is possible."[1]

"The Gospel of Mark... is usually dated through the eschatological discourse in Mark 13: most scholars interpret this as pointing to the First Jewish–Roman War (66–74 AD) that would lead to the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 AD, with the composition of Mark taking place either immediately after the destruction (the majority position) or during the years immediately prior."[2]

"A majority of scholars agree that Galatians was written between the late 40s and early 50s, although some date the original composition to c. 50–60."[3]

"The Epistle to Philemon was composed around AD 57-62 by Paul while in prison at Caesarea Maritima (early date) or more likely from Rome (later date) in conjunction with the composition of Colossians."[4]

"Regardless of the literary unity of the letter, scholars agree that the material that was compiled into the Epistle to the Philippians was originally composed in Greek, sometime during the 50s or early 60s AD."[5]

The earliest surviving subject materials are the authentic Pauline Epistles, and the oldest surviving Gospel is the one attributed to John Mark. It has been theorized and argued that a lost Gospel, a gospel of sayings, known as the Q source,[6] was composed earlier or around the same time as Mark, with the Gospel of Thomas a candidate for the Q source, but most place the date of Thomas' composition after the 2nd Century, and there is no consensus on whether the Q source existed. The earliest recorded words attributed to Jesus are found in Matthew 5-7, portions of the Sermon on the Mount[7] ("Blessed are the cheesemakers...")[8]

I respectfully disagree. I think it's really nice when a new language reuses existing syntax and allows me to make use of my existing mental structures.

As an example, I love it that json is like js, and that js is a bit like C. Even when there are inevitable "false friends" in any new language, it's so nice to have that starting advantage.

They didn't alienate users, they just couldn't afford to buy users in the same way that others did as the market expanded rapidly.

Some developers/users complained about them reducing their customisability, to match Chrome's speed and simplicity.

Others complained about them not doing that enough.

But the real issue was that a potential CEO got pushed out because he donated to a political campaign to stop gay marriage being allowed.

This was considered a bad thing by reactionaries so they loudly complained about it for years in an attempt to punish Mozilla. And it worked. Now lots of people are angry at Mozilla and don't really understand why, they're just following the angry crowd.
Putin, because he gets an excuse to cut Germany off of Russian gas. It's game of chicken now: the West sends weapons to help Ukrainian army chase off all the Russian invaders, and Putin tries to make energy crisis in EU so severe that Europe is forced to negotiate with him, and accept Russian conquest of parts of the Ukraine. Whoever can stay on their course longer wins.
I don't see it as smoothing at all. "sent its troops into" is literally the definition of invading. Also the Russo-Ukrainian war started over 8 years ago. Calling the feb. 24. date for day-0 of the invasion is actually smoothing Russians aggregation even more.
> Go ahead now and try to put Apple's intention into your own words. What do you feel is Apple's intention behind this policy?

I can't read Apple's mind. You can't either.

> Large developers also have to resubmit their very unpopular, obscure apps every three years.

Oh give me a break. I'm done here, this is not a good faith argument.

> Explain why you feel a few minutes every three years is a burden.

A few minutes. Again, this is not a good faith argument. Your reply is not serious.

> Literally the only thing Apple is requiring you do is recompile your unpopular app and submit it as an update once every three years.

Your reply is contradicting itself, because you claim Apple's intention is to get rid of apps, but you also claim that it's incredibly easy to not get removed.

> Frankly this view that hobbyists are oppressed by needing to recompile once every three years reads like an insult.

Do you think the original article author was insulting herself?

What a bad faith, insulting reply.
Why people don't ask

1. Debt aversion: Not wanting to repay the favor

2. Shame or embarrassment: asking reveals need, dependence, or lack of ability

3. Not wanting to impose

Get a different machine. Any will do. Go to a recycling center and buy one for twenty bucks. Check whatever the equivalent of craigslist is in your area. Ask if someone has a computer in the basement he discarded in 2005. Then take that machine and experiment with it. In my opinion it's important that you don't have any fears while tinkering, which you'll inevitably have when risking the ruin of your work manchine and the loss of your data. When you installed the distro you wanted to try, use the machine as a media box. When you run into issues, fix them. Then repeat. You'll figure out the system naturally.
Yeah - I look at the last few decades of computing and see the great god of compatibility driving almost everything. It's all very well the author seeing some cute ideas and running with them, but not many are in a position to discard everything, so we will do as we've done for the last few decades and pick the technology that lets us build on what we've got.

You don't have to look far for examples. Remember Intel Optane memory - a genuine improvement to memory. But because it doesn't match well with existing OS and apps, Intel struggled to do much with it, and seems to have largely dropped it :(

I'd love if even a few had the opportunity to tidy-up our decades of history and mistakes, but I don't see it happening.
gulp itself is sort of abandonware and is dependent on libraries that have vulnerabilities (you judge yourself if they apply to you, if you run them on untrusted inputs etc). A remedy in my project was to rip it out altogether and replace it with shell commands.

More like authorization. Authentication is completely opaque for most people using gmail. (except for those very few using service accounts and signing their own authorization tokens)

Or maybe you can enlighten me how you can get the token for XOAUTH2 from just your gmail email address and password without involving any opaque google service.

Authentication is happening completely outside of OAuth inside some google black box. 2FA has nothing to do with OAuth at all. It's just another feature of the google's black box which decides whether to give you the access/refresh tokens or not.

> isnt that called being an Agency?

I don't think agency is the right term. You're not writing code _for a single customer_, you're not writing code _until you've verified a single customer will pay for it_. I wouldn't expect an agency to contact me and say "hey we have this solution to a problem we think you have, and we'll charge you $99/month for it", I would expect them to say "sure we can build it if you tell us what you want"

> How many SaaS out there can actually bootstrap on 1 let alone 100 customers?

Probably more than can bootstrap on 0. The reason for this advice is to find out as early on as possible whether people will pay you for it. If no-one will pay you for it, you should ask yourself why. If one person will pay you for it, there's probably more people out there that will also pay you for it.

> I mean writing code for single customer that is ready to pay?

Coming back to this question for a moment, the code is not the focus if you're trying to run a SAAS, the product is. And unless you see it as product first, you're going to have a hard time selling it.

Ask HN: How to accept payment from Russian customers?
Since USA kicked Russia from supposedly independent SWIFT, no "western" bank will accept rubles and politically active Visa and MasterCard, as usual, cut all Russians off as well.

Russia has their SPFS or Chinese CIPS alternatives to SWIFT and their MIR card as alternative to visa/master.

I would like to accept payments from Russian customers, here in the amazingly stupid and suicidal EU. Is that somehow possible? The currency is irrelevant. I just want to keep providing online services to the Russian market.

I am sure there are plenty of online service providers facing this problem. So I hope someone has a solution that does not require me to go to Turkey, Singapore, Hong-Kong... to set up a new business entity in order to open up a local bank account.
> 5% even it represents the population of Estonia or of a suburb of NY.

So? Why can't you make the next logical step? If it's a 17% increase for Switzerland, then it will be at in the same ballpark much for all other countries, won't it? Then an increase for Germany will be probably as much as two Switzerlands etc.

> By the way you are mixing everything. I talk about private transport and you give me the figure for total energy consumption.

I'm not. I'm just pointing the flaws in the insistence that "it's not even an engineering challenge"

> For Switzerland electrification of all private transport represent the addition of 2 nuclear reactors

Ah yes. It's just such an easy not an egineering challenge to do.
But who is that? Ukraine should be fine with having Germany buy Russian gas since Germany keeps sending arms and push others to send arms. I don't see why the US would care either now that Germany is finally moving away from Russian gas. And Russia can just close the pipeline in a less destructive way.
Mostly Asian viewers is just not it from an income perspective.

There are other youtube channels who are super successful and do niche Asian History content with mostly western viewers and I assume make a lot more money.

If OP is not aware of them maybe he should check them out and see what they do better. I have a feeling there's a bunch of things you can learn from it.

I enjoy his semi videos but honestly general history should be more popular than semis, I think he just has to get their quality up to snuff. Don't assume your earlier less popular history videos is down to the topic rather than your earlier inexperience. The stuff you said about storytelling that you learned makes a huge difference.
Putin already lost that game since he allowed most (all?) EU countries to fill their gas reserves beyond 90%.
My current job, during the interview, didn't ask me to write a single line of code, but instead asked me to walk through (in great detail) how I'd go about building a GPS related feature for an application that they own. The application is well known and the problem space was well defined. This was a real (low priority) problem that they did eventually plan to tackle as a team.

I also at the same time, interviewed with the fastest growing startup in the area, who had way better comp, slightly better benefits, etc. They asked me to do a take home homework assignment that would've taken like 20 hours, so they could see how I work.

I ghosted the second contact, and after another round of interviews, accepted with the first company, and I'm by far happier with my work and the respect given to my input at this job than any previous one I've had. I'm certain that wouldn't have been the case at the latter company.

I truly believe that once you are beyond the junior level, interviews really are a two way street, and you should jump with the utmost caution unless you already dislike where you are.
The idea is that they add a magically a photon now, but they add in a very magical way that will change the future and also the past, so the new universe from the beginning to the end is consistent. If the laws of physics are reversible as we currently think, this magic operation make sense. You can't do it actually in the real world, but it's fine to imagine a new universe.

The problem is that the photons appear/disappear when they interact with a charged particle, but you can imagine a universe with a unlucky photon that never collides with a charge particle in the future, and that is so unlucky that when you pass the universe like a reverse movie, it also never collides(collided) with a charge particle in the past.
It is indeed frustratingly oversimplified and abstruse, in my view.

Space “expanding”: imagine a 10cm ruler (with markings) such that the markings “compress”. Now you have the same ruler but “longer”. That is what is meant by space “expanding “. (in some sense, obviously).

Mortgage rates I mean. The base rate is still far behind the curve. Mortgage rates move with market expectations and those have skyrocketed over the last 6 months. Base rates haven't kept up with recent moves. I believe you could still get mortgages for under 2% at the start of the year. After this move in markets mortgages under 5% are unlikely.

Also, none of these stats ever adjust for affordability. People like to cite rates in the 70s but forget that people borrowed much less on their homes back then so the impact of rate moves wasn't so extreme. When adjusted for affordability this is without a doubt the largest move ever. You have to consider that first time buyers today frequently take out mortgages with just a 5% deposit, and often use all of their savings to do so. They have no buffer.

The sad thing about all of this is that I'm probably in a relatively good position compared to most buyers given I have some savings and didn't take out a 95% debt/equity mortgage.

I have seen this line of thinking multiple places. It doesn't make any sense. Russia makes the energy crisis by turning off the gas. Destruction of the nordstream line only makes it impossible to start the gas exporting in case Russia want to sell it again and/or the sanctions are lifted. The obvious result of this is making sure that trade relationships with Russia can't go back to normal anytime soon.
They were very strong for the time, these days?

Essentially none of them is playable in any constructed format (unless they’re an oddball for an oddball deck). Compare Serra and Baneslayer, and that’s a 10 years old card, and keeping to non-legendaries (for legendaries see Ao the dawn sky).

I would imagine that any syntax transformation can't be much better (if at all) than a simple text compression algorithm, so I don't think disk size should be a design endpoint. But the amount of information that fits on one screen without scrolling is also part of readability, because understanding why something is there can be as important as understanding its literal meaning.
Shortly after being acquired by IBM, I bumped into an acquaintance who'd been through the same process a few years previously. I asked, "What's it like?", he replied, "Acquirees never get a pay raise, but it's very easy to ensure your hourly rate goes up every year".
Most people I subsequently met were acquirees, and his observation seemed to apply almost universally.
