> I like the fastest cheap, arm docker compatible server.

Specs unclear, Pi Zero can do this for 35 dollars. It's the fastest you can get for cheap. But not the cheapest one of the fastest ones, that would be Graviton, but you can't get those because only Amazon manufactures them for themselves. So that leaves Ampere Altra but that's not cheap unless you need to scale. I guess you need a Kunpeng 920 then.
The problem is stock price is often only loosely tied to "performance". Companies can be under- or over-valued by the market for many reasons.

You're misusing the term "virtue signaling:, an already ridiculously dumb term.

If they are making changes they believe will help the environment it's not virtue signaling, even if you don't think it will. More so that you don't offer any evidence to the contrary.

I wonder about right wing people and "virtue signaling". Is it that they don't care about the environment or animals,or maybe are just generally selfish, that it's difficult for them to imagine that others might just want to do the right thing without benefitting from it?

I think fixed wages have less of an effect on this because you get used to them so you don't really think about them. Especially when you aren't working hourly, the relationship between the work you do and your pay is often very tenuous. So it can feel like you are doing the work for its own sake.

I wouldn't recommend anyone use moment.js if they're starting a new project. It's an unnecessarily large library, and the fact that moment objects are mutable almost always causes more issues than it solves. The only reason to use it is if you're working on software that is already using it. Otherwise use a more modern, immutable datetime library like day.js, date-fns, or luxon.
Curiosity; a desire to know the answer is usually enough for me, for the problems I enjoy working on anyway.
Again, my context here is a large (1-2Mb) single page application. I wouldn't use a library like that in a static/informational webpage, and it's hard to think of a context where it would be necessary.

I'm not saying that humanity necessarily should be destroyed, I'm just saying that the statement "Destroying humanity is unethical by any non-broken value system" is simplistic. If you put any value at all on non human life, it eventually becomes a numbers game. One which I'm not certain "humanity" is necessarily winning.

This bit of propaganda has been surprisingly successful, especially since it doesn't really make any sense.

Someone referencing it while being skeptical about high speed rail reinforces my supposition that the high speed rail is just a boringly average big project and that most of the negative coverage is barely coherent lies.
It's not that kids will stop doing it, but that Amazon would have taken action to prevent this on their platform (in the least invasive way), and there's no lawsuit at that point. Interesting that the article doesn't mention if the book is still available or not.

I mean yeah, you’re right. But in practise npm allows you to wildcard version numbers. And when you come across old npm projects, you’re likely dealing with people that have wildcarded their dependency versions.

Sure if you start from scratch you can adopt idioms that work for you, but in general you’re more likely to get into dependency messes with npm than maven from my experience largely because of the wide use of patterns instead of locked down versions being pulled in.

> don't necessarily want to call lots of library code

Makes sense since Zig is meant to be a replacement for C and "C is NOT a modular language! The best way to use C is to roll your own (or copy and paste) data structures for your problem, not try to use canned ones!" from a comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33130533

Edit: I call this misfeature of the C language the "polluted/busy call site syndrome".
This article argues against a particular form of compensation, not compensation in general.

And in any case, "the free market" != "people are only motivated by money". All "free market" means is that voluntary exchanges are not regulated or restricted by the government. Indeed it has nothing inherently to do with money, if you want to trade your labor for a pile of corn that would be a perfectly fine free market transaction.
I use AdGuard (with Safari, but it's available for other browsers too) and the "Annoyances" filter already does a pretty good job of removing these.
This is awesome. I've been kicking around the idea of a notation/composition system that uses external forces (temperature, moon phase, time, etc) as live input but prior research is a bit hard to come by.

Feeding signal into e.g. a guitar pedal is easy enough, but mutating an entire orchestra in real time is a different beast. If anyone knows of similar works I'd be grateful for links.
big +1 to this. I've similarly been in orgs that aimed for some sense of culture and others that didn't, and it was much more pleasant to work at the ones that tried.

8 (and sometimes more!) hours a day is a big demand on one's time, and it's a lot more enjoyable when you know and appreciate the folks around you, not just as code-outputting machines, but as people. Good luck in your efforts, and please report back if you find something that works!
It's like this for myself as well in Minnesota in the US. It probably depends on state laws here, or maybe just the grocery store chain.
How exactly did your brain turn "cable that runs along the train track" into a "neuralgic facility"?

Your seem to think this a problem of uncontrolled physical access, when it is about redundancy and why cutting so few cables can create a service outage in large parts of north-western germany. Did you know that, by cutting just a few cables, overland lines that are easily accessible, large parts of the USA would have electricity blackouts? That we would need cameras and fences and motion detectors and security checkpoints along thousands of kilometers of cables to secure physical access? Even if we bury them instead of running them overland? As if digging is hard. The problem is not about access to some facility, it is about a lack of redundancy in what should be a network.

Was this Amazon? Generally equity would replace the cash bonus in subsequent years. Compensation then becomes somewhat uncertain, but if it became a huge pay cut at that company and nowhere else, it seems expected that lots of employees would quit. That might be partially intentional.

In the vast majority of cases I reject analytics and telemetry not because I don't want the company knowing which buttons perform better, it's because I don't want some third-party scum like Google Analytics to know that.

Analytics can be done in a privacy-friendly way, but the vast majority of them aren't, and as a user there's no way to know whether that's the case, so the default "safe" option is to reject.

Also, it's not the GDPR that's to blame for the popups, it's the non-enforcement of it.

Options are good. But the way Apple operates to exert control and cripples softwares that don't align with their goals, don't be surprised if Apple suddenly forces developers to only use their virtualisation API on macOS, just like they did for application firewalls (that are no longer allowed to have their own custom kernel extensions for "security" and "stability"). They are slowly squeezing macOS to make it more and more like ios.
It's Amex's problem contractually. The contractual relationships here are:

customer -> card issuer (amex) -> card network (amex) <- card processor (stripe) <- merchant -> customer

So as you can see, you have no relationship with Stripe. Your have a relationship with Amex and the merchant. Those are your points of contact.

When you make a chargeback, Amex accepts this chargeback, and sends it to the merchant's processor, who then presents it to the merchant for response. This is a process defined in the contracts between each of the parties.

To your other question regarding fraud controls in this system, that's handled in the contracts:

- If you skip out on your debt, Amex must still pay for any charges they authorized. (The payment flow is customer -> Amex -> stripe -> merchant. This flow is reversed for a chargeback/refund.)

- If a merchant skips out, stripe is still responsible for any chargebacks.

Think about what this means: If stripe accepts too many high-risk merchants, they'll lose money. If Amex accepts too many high risk customers, they'll lose money. So they each have an interest in controlling fraud.

So what happens when a merchant gets too many chargebacks (typically less than 1%): Stripe will refuse to do business with that merchant. Why would they do this? Because if Stripe has too many chargebacks, the card network will refuse to do business with Stripe. They may be able to recertify as a high risk processor, but that comes with additional requirements... and if its above those high-risk levels, the card network won't allow stripe to process any payments at all.

This is all defined contractually.

What is the contract you have? You have a contract with Amex: your credit card terms. And you have either an implied or explicit contract with the merchant that they must meet.

Stripe and Amex are not fully aware of your contract with the merchant (refer to first relationship graph above). Part of the chargeback process is the merchant's response. A valid chargeback defense is that the charge meets the contractual terms the customer agreed to (assuming nothing illegal is going on). When the merchant presents the contract in their response, Stripe and Amex can review that contract. Amex (as the card issuer) gets to decide if they accept or reject the merchant's response and issue a decision on the chargeback. (Stripe (on behalf of the merchant) can disagree with this, and it then goes to the card network for a decision.)

So that's the whole process.

If you go to stripe directly (as a customer), you're attempting to do an end run around this contractually enforced process... and stripe isnt going to do that (unless they want to be sued for tortious interference by the merchant).

So hopefully you can see why Amex telling you to call Stripe is so bizarre. What makes it even more odd is that the type of dispute you have is something Amex handles like a 1000 times a day... they have a process for it.

And FYI: Amex can block a merchant from charging you in the future. (Easy on their part: just stop authorizing the charge from the merchant.)
No: the point of hindsight bias is that you’re able to make better decisions when you know how the future will go. Hindsight bias that those companies will all grow in that five year period doesn’t change the way you would decide if you should invest in your employers stock today.

What are you actually trying to solve for? What does cultural cohesion look like?

In my experience, most companies are mismanaged and no amount of culture building addresses those issues.

If you want people to bond in a positive way, make work easier for them by ensuring they have clear goals, attainable timelines, and a path for career growth.

Otherwise cultural cohesion is built on people complaining about the company.

Maybe that’s actually figured out and your company is not a minefield of bs, in which case you are very lucky!

Something one of my employers did was start our weekly executive team meetings with everyone saying three words to describe how they’re feeling and why for each. We’d get things like “excited”, “stressed”, “annoyed” with an honest description why … which was a fantastic barometer of the company’s emotions for the week + a window into how everyone thinks and wants to be treated.

In our weekly all hands we’d start with everyone saying something they were anxious about and something they were excited about. Folks shared very personal stuff. It was sometimes hard to listen to people over share, but I knew more about people I hadn’t met in person in 6 months than i did folks I had worked with for several years.

People loved the culture there, and I did too. But there was still churn from mismanagement.
It’s not authoritarian nonsense to have and enforce basic principles of product safety in commerce.

For evidence refer to the fact that your family hasn’t died of botulism or a falling building facade.

This is pretty basic stuff. It’s not a social media panic attack it’s an active lawsuit backed by sworn statements and evidence, and the fact pattern is genuinely apalling. I get skepticism at the headline but read through the details.
Such a great show.

They also censored themselves when they discovered a recipe for an incredibly easy and powerful explosive. I throw that out there as a case of self-regulation in the marketplace of ideas.

Edit: Adam Savage talking about it -- https://nerdist.com/article/mythbusters-destroyed-all-eviden...

Apparently it was not well known, so not an original discovery but still a legitimate use of the word.

My comment was a point about censorship in that it can be the right thing to do. I'm curious AF about what the recipe is but am ok with not knowing and and knowing that effectively no one else does.

Most importantly, it should not "disable" them; they should never be enabled (or even loaded) in the first place, and only explicit, opt-in consent should load them.

The vast majority of "consent management platforms" fail at this even if they otherwise appear to be compliant (no dark patterns, etc).

The CMP should essentially be the one managing the tracking libraries after correct consent has been collected, yet most websites still embed tracking libraries directly or using something like Google Tag Manager (which itself is a tracker and would require explicit consent).
Bonuses don't work well because they are too temporally distant from the work you do. For example, typically you get an annual bonus, but that might be for work you did a whole year before (and even more, with the time it takes to decide on bonuses, pay them out, etc.). There's just no way our brains properly can handle reward that is so distant in time. As a result, bonuses end up feeling either "expected" (if you always get roughly the same amount) or capricious/political (if there is a lot of variance).

Add to this that accurately rating employee performance is very difficult, and you get a huge disconnect between effort and reward. What this means it that employees will seek to game the system by identifying activities that give them a high gain in "review score" for the least effort. This leads to rent seeking, politics, stealing credit, and other such activities. Not everyone plays this game, but those that don't are at a huge disadvantage. I've seen people get the same performance rating where one of them did literally 5x the work of the other, just because of other factors.

Bonuses can only work when they are given soon after the work you do and are (at least somewhat) objectively-measurable. For example, sales commissions work well. I think signing bonuses are also pretty effective at luring a job candidate when they have multiple offers, because they get the money right away. But that's sort of a different scenario.
