i will give you the benefit of the doubt in case you are not familiar with finance terminology.

a 5 year treasury bond right now has a yield of 4%. if you were to buy and hold to maturity, after 5 years you get 4% return. this is what is meant by "outperforms" in this context. If it was about the past, one wouled add -ed and give the start date.

now, docusign stock price is 62% down ytd (2022.10.01), and is only trading 7% over its ipo price. So I don't care what the IRR is, I predict a 4% increase from the current price in 5 years is highly unlikely and the downward move will deepen across the tech sector hence I will never buy this meme stock. I will check in 5 years to verify if my prediction is correct. you are more than welcome to waste your money on this, just maybe don't bet your house on it.
There should be a master list of "open" alternatives that were derided as never going to be comparable that then took over.

Linux, OpenStreetMap, Wikipedia, Audio and Video codecs etc.

The world needs more examples of how building a digital commons is a good long term strategy because it's far too easy to take the short term view each time this comes up.
Glenn Campbell was also pushed out on the stage to sing despite being deep into Alzheimer's. But since he clearly enjoyed it, I don't think that was a problem.
At this time the highest payed stars are not payed to act but to have a super muscular body with a pretty face (which is really hard work). Soon the muscles will be all digital though.
Yeah his pinned comment which is copied at the end of the article is a perfect summary. It's not a problem to age restrict videos, but their content guidelines should actually reflect the criteria they use for that. The content guidelines actually say some profanity is okay, but excessive use will get you restricted. Salt's video had a 3 second clip in a video over an hour long.

Had he known the real criteria ahead of time, he would have bleeped it. Now it's too late to fix the profanity because it's also been flagged as containing Sex and Nudity. In a Megaman 2 video.
We're certainly still slurping up bulk SQL commands from raw text files in 2022. Kinda odd not to come across that use case.
What makes you think the people today don’t enjoy the irony just as much as you did all those years ago?
I think you're not being imaginative enough.

Do you think acting talent matters, or will it be supplied by neural networks?

Suppose acting talent does matter. Then Leo and Bruce will probably be in movies 40 years from now, but they'll be puppeted by young actors, and the movies will be successful or not according to whether those young actors are good or not. Maybe we'll have a five-year period where Leo is in every movie before moviegoers get tired of it. But the young puppetmasters behind the scenes who are recording the facial expressions Leo makes in the emotional extreme closeups will still be in a good position to negotiate rich compensation deals.

On the other hand, suppose acting talent doesn't matter. Remember that, just as male porn models used to be selected for their ability to retain an erection in a high-stress situation before Viagra, Bruce's face was selected for being on a decent actor. Surely there are many more faces that are currently unknown, or painted from scratch, that would be better-looking than Bruce, that are currently not appearing in the movies because they have the misfortune of being attached to people whose talent as actors is zilch. Or to nobody at all. Moviemakers could rent those faces more cheaply.

Maybe instead of going to see movies with Leo DiCaprio like their grandparents do, teenagers will rebel by going to movies whose stars' faces are the visual equivalent of punk rock and heavy metal: a congeries of multicolored eyes melting into a vaguely vulva-shaped head, or the uncannily precisely scanned faces of supercentenarians near death, or the bare skull of a unicorn. Or, DiCaprio having been canceled for his insensitive remarks about Tiananmen Square in 02049, the teenagers will want to go see movies starring someone they love and respect, like Former President Chloe Trump.

Or maybe 40 physical years from now you and I will look back on this conversation through tens of thousands of years of subjective history (32000 for me, 44000 for you, because you've been able to afford more cloud resources) and comment on how strange it was that biological humans used to go watch movies.
And then to reality (when I was forced to use it at a client):

One way in which it is useful, is that you can tag your build artifacts (like docker images) with the commit id in the development branch, and just re-tag them when you want to promote the artifact to main or production, or whatever.

Without this option, you have to either rely on branch names when promoting, which means you can't tie your build to a specific commit in your main branch anymore[1], or you can rebuild your image from the new commit, potentially producing an entirely different artifact which might differ from the one you just tested and validated on your development branch.

[1] Unless you back-fill that information after merge, but the workflow is getting really convoluted at this point.
Maybe I have a different understanding of how people use YT but everyone in my circle has a YT account because they have a gmail account and therefore subscribe and actively watch things based on that. Because gmail has become the standard every single person also has a youtube account. In new world terms, Youtube is one of the most used apps on my TV in my house and the first question I was asked in terms of tech support by my parent was "How do I connect the TV Youtube to my account? I want my recommendations to show up."

Competitors don't really exist. The closest is most likely Baidu. But even Baidu isn't close enough to be considered competition. There is very clearly no English language alternative. Knowing alternatives isn't the same as people actively using them.

Even content creators that don't leave will be less excited about making content. People will watch mostly similar videos on Youtube by design. Once a large content creator leaves and demonstrates that it's a viable option, other content creators will follow. Once most of the people you enjoyed leave a platfrom, and they leave in a small amount of time, people will stop going to youtube.

Having more viewers than subscribers doesn't matter nearly as much as "the algorithm" and how many people get recommended a video. "The algorithm" makes or breaks a video's momentum, and that's obvious by videos like this content creator's that bluntly put how this kind of mismanagement put their livelihood at risk. People not logged in will not be recommended a flagged video, it will be unprioritized in search results too. I have first hand experience on that. Viewers vs Subscribers is meaningless to argue when even your subscribed users over the age of 18 barely get recommended your new video.

Looking from a world view, users in the EU require users to share with Youtube a valid driver's license, Proof of Age card, or passport in order to get 18+ videos unblocked. Content creators have a hard time convincing viewers to just press a button on a webpage.

Some of these things are not obvious without having analytics numbers to watch when you release a somewhat popular video.
I expect it wouldn't just cover death but also other 'contractual disputes'. Kevin Spacey ended up having to pay the House of Cards producers for his removal.

Supply & Demand. It's the Law.
This is just a personal perspective but all my experience with AS/400 tells me it's a huge scam.

I first encountered them working in a call center and we got a new client that did travel booking so we had to order in a bunch of as/400 systems, and training for the agents so they could handle them.

2nd experience was at a consultancy firm where we had to hire in an external consultant to work with as/400 systems.

When I finally got to see what these as/400 systems did I was convinced this is a scam. IBM and Big Travel are in bed together to keep this system alive and to keep people buying it and hiring consultants who are certified in it. Of course the certifications probably come from IBM too.

I've seen WFH travel people who have a modern GUI to the AS/400 running on Windows, but it's still the as/400 TUI inside a modern GUI. What a fucking waste of time to make that wrapper.

This is an API that desperately needs replacing and modernizing. The fact that it's still not replaced by a better system, and people insist on creating crazy wrappers for it, tells me that someone is putting the breaks on. Maybe it's tied to the international flights industry too, maybe that's where the modernization needs to happen.

Either way as a modern developer I see absolutely no reason to keep clinging to this outdated system.
Main points:

1. The collapse of the Soviet Union led to a lot of pain and suffering, especially during the crazy 90s. -> understandable, people who lived during the crazy 90s (me) can totally relate to that, my German friends have 0 view on that.

2. The West has colonized and is hence evil. Fully correct, the West did not take responsibility for that. There are only a few examples where countries paid proper reparations. Although not colonies, but Germany is doing a great job with dealing with its nazi past. UK, US, Japan, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, France, all of them should do that, too. Understandable argument.

3. The US never apologized for fire-bombing civilians during WW2 in Europe and never for nuking civilian targets twice. Fully understandable argument.

4. US still occupying Germany; Can confirm, here are so many US bases, air force bases, Americans, in those areas US police is driving on German soil, people pay with USD instead of the EUR. Although not mainstream, it is here. Where are the Chinese air force bases? Why are we not paying in CNY? Understandable argument.

Many good points.
Yeah, there's nothing else quite like jOOQ as far as I know. I think SQLAlchemy in Python is the only other library that even comes close.

The data is no doubt biased, but given just how far ahead vscode is, it would need to be a very heavy bias to see vim/nvim come out ahead among all developers (however we define that). It gives us some information, but I agree doesn't tell us what the proportion is among all developers.
You don't click through cookies just because europe decided so, you click through them because corporations (most of them american) decided that tracking you was so juicy that it was worth it to make you pay this price.

I have plenty of websites using cookies, but because we are not invading your privacy, we don't need a banner.

You are blaming laws adding informed consent instead of the bullies that milk every cent out of spying. Instead of learning, wow the web is rotten there is so much tracking, you complain to the doctor showing you cancer in your lung.

Also, what's funny is that this banner is only legal in europe, we don't impose it on the rest of the world. Again, corporations decided it was just easier to apply it to everyone. They have a choice.

But we can't uncensor youtube content. We dont have a choice. I'd be ok with a pop up "this video contain images of september 11, do you want to watch it uncensored?" that is mandatory only to americans. But we don't have that. Instead, the video is either not published, or removed from any way to discover it.

Not to mention comparing the need for a click, and the addition of a choice to not be tracked, cannot remotely be compared to forced format for most content. It's neither of the same nature, nor the same scale.

Even if you don't agree with any of that, the initial point of the comment stands: it's a matter of power.

The content guidelines specifically state profanity is okay as long as it's not excessive. 3 seconds of fuck in a 78 minute video is not excessive.

More importantly, while he could use youtube's tools to remove the profanity, it doesn't matter because they've also flagged it for Sex and Nudity.
Y then?
Haha. I look forward to selecting my own favorite actor(s) for a movie.

What incentivizes banks to offer API access?
Hi all - I'm curious.. what's incentivizes banks to offer API access to their customers data?

They are enabling a whole generation of fintech companies to make a fortune, but what's in it for the banks?

Do fintech companies have to pay the banks a fee for each api call?

Thanks for your insight.
It seems there is an easy loophole.... Just declare the satellite mission to be super long.

Eg. This spacecraft will act as a Comms satellite for 10 years and will then go into a low power mode where it switches to 'gamma ray burst detection mode' which will be active for 150 years, upon which it will then deorbit within 5 years as regulated.

I want to agree with this conclusion, but it feels like the GDP being accurate, and the GDP not being a good reflection of citizen welfare is both more likely and more telling.

I used to love the Economist but they appear to have gone downhill more recently and those graphs seem designed to make a specific point rather than present data objectively.

edit: after fighting my way past the paywall, this was poorer than I suspected:

> Assuming that the most democratic countries reported growth figures accurately, he then used the satellite data to estimate if other countries under- or over-stated theirs.

So they just graphed the assumption as if it was data, rather than an assumption.

Though now I'm wondering why Australia isn't considered democratic enough to have their GDP taken as correct.
Absolutely! I love that film (as much as love Blade Runner, for similar reasons), and it's spot on point. I wrote more about the film and the technology here:

Or they realized in that moment they didn't feel confident enough in their own understanding of state machines to critique anyone who might take the opportunity to cut them down to size. It is a stupid reaction to a sensible request for clarification, there are tons of equally valid ways to implement a state machine in an object oriented python script - especially when there are zero constraints on expected use. If I'd asked such a question, and got no sense of pushback, I'd be a little nervous about hiring that person and having them need close supervision - because they were to scared to point out ambiguity in direction.
I saw one of his later shows. He was completely out of it before and after but it was like a switch flipped when he started performing. Perhaps it was his last cognitive link to his full self and former life before his passing.

> Using a browser that monetizes itself in any way seems like a slippery slope to me.

Is that a practical sustainable long-term business practice though? Firefox was only able to be free because Google was paying Mozilla. Browsers are some complex software and software developers wanna get paid. I know that the in's and outs of history of browser software has conditioned us to expecting browsers for free but that doesn't reflect the reality of developing the software.
Being co-founders is 'just' like marriage. Some marriages work, others don't. But when it works, it is really great. And just like in marriages, the ones that actually work, are statistically speaking a rare thing. And when they don't work, they can get ugly in variety of ways.

Whether it's a marriage, or being a co-founder, understanding that you're in it for a long term, keeping a cool head, managing expectations, talking, apologising, and never humiliating the other goes a long way.
Same here. Web UIs are pretty cumbersome compared to Git and only really useful for quick lookups in recent history. For anything else, git log is much more convenient.
I attempted to make such a model but it was 23 years ago and the tech-stacks weren't evolved enough yet - they idea was for people to play a game and be able to skin their own characters (irrespective of game) so effectively you carry your user profile, as you've designed across games...

Compare Astaire's dance movies with the awful ones they make to day, which are more a sequence of quick cut sweaty frenetic gymnastic fragments than dancing. I can almost hear the director yelling "More energy! Hit that line harder!"

Astaire's movies would film the complete dance in one cut, and show his full body. His dances were about style, elegance, and complete mastery.

I am also in search for a elegant way to teach such implementations in Python. I do not want students to confuse this with OO, not sure if they see the value in functional programming so soon. My best idea so far is to teach the concept of state and state machines with Python generators…

When online comments get worked up about The Social Credit System, a key thing I believe they're trying to do is spread awareness of how disturbing it is that a government is even considering such a thing that, as we understand it, is closely related to being a core technology in an authoritarian dystopia.

While it's not implemented at scale, the unnerving fact is that govt policy makers did a careful enough take on a social credit system to decide that it was worthwhile investing (probably non-trivial amounts of ) money and resources into exploring it and did eventually reach a point where they were a handful of steps short of wide-scale implementation.
Ugh. I hate that stuff like this exists. Even Googling the case is nothing but people grasping at straws, nothing about the facts.

Sorry, but searching for 'methanol poisoning' one month before your husband dies of methanol poisoning, is a terrible coincidence at the very best. Then trying to hide the hard drive when the police start asking questions is...guilt.
My impression of solar in the western US, at least, is most solar arrays do not charge batteries. They are linked up to the power grid instead and solar owners are payed back a percentage of what they’ve contributed.

Im personally an advocate of battery banks (And have them in a boat and rv) but it seems if every single family home had a battery bank there’d be a large surplus of energy created but not always used (aka it doesn’t scale well). If anyone has information otherwise I’m all ears this isn’t my domain
> many people would have been millionaires from horse betting already

It's called capitalism! Use your capital wisely, once you are up, it's hard to fall. Look at this recession(?) millionaires doing just fine. I won't argue on weather it's betting or investing. It seems hard now because investors put put seat belt on.

> People act like raising money is easy. It's not.

I see the startup being viewed as an active while in the market money try hard to park itself somewhere. It's always money that being actively finding a place to go. It's in investors' hands so it's in investors' mood / vision / dream / hype / media they consume / trend blah blah. Your startups being good is less than half of story.
Agreed, I really disliked it and I forced my way through all the ‘endings’. I got that it was being clever, it just fell flat, annoying and a bit pervy.

Also it’s not particularly impressive technically, it looks like a launch Xbox 360 game so it’s not surprising that it runs on Switch.
