It is pretty unfortunate that their current strategy seems to involve partnering with an extremely traditional financial services company, one that seems to focus mainly on upscale banking customers (who are already well-served by the traditional finance industry.) The actual technical innovation in this product seems to be relatively close to nil, though maybe Apple will learn enough from this that they’ll either (1) ditch GS and find other partners (including a subsidiary of their own, they have the cash) or (2) pressure GS into offering services that also benefit customers outside of the upscale-banking sweet spot.
This reads like a hit-piece against ZipCar. The author doesn't give any advice, and merely retells a few anecdotes about people being stranded by parking a ZipCar in a place with poor cell service.

This isn't a problem I'd thought of before, but with the title "How Not to Go Off the Grid", I some advice. (The author doesn't even seem to offer the somewhat-obvious conclusion of "don't park a ZipCar somewhere without any cell service".)
I wasn't as cool as this kid, but I wrote a binomial expansion program in TI BASIC back in high school that I was pretty proud of. Teacher said it was neat, but then banned calculators on our tests/ quizzes after I demoed it.
The app experience is totally ruined now. It's insanity for me to see 1Password 7 to 8 transition level of nonsense again.

Block-quotes are no longer quotes, just text with a strip of light on the left with no option to make it more obvious.

File name is now H1 header at the top of the file with no option to hide it.

Performance sucks so much, and that is on an eight-core x64 mobile CPU running Windows 10 Pro. Everything is sluggish 15fps mess. Shame.

Markdown links are ruined too. The previous UI was light years ahead, using different colors for the text and the link. Now the color is the same.

Most extensions don't care and don't render properly. Fckn great, man.

The tabs are by far the only good thing in the update. Everything else is a downgrade.

You are sadly naive if you think food shown in advertising is anywhere near close to the real thing. Faking both the appearance of the actual ingredients and using entirely different analogues. Shaving cream instead of whipped cream being one of the more obvious examples.

>>One would set a budget of say $400 a month for groceries based on their income, this is would be fixed for the year.

That's sorta hard to do when your paid hourly and your schedule is pasted weekly. That was my whole point - the OP sorta assumes a LOT more stability then many people have.

I guess the best way to say it for everyone would be:
I don't think 'most' people have the luxury to be able to 'budget', and I'd say a fair number run from crisis to crisis just trying to survive.
Is this some strange attempt to align this article with the “college education isn’t necessary” mantra?

Like college education isn’t necessary as long as you have college professors for parents?

The absurdist continuation is something like: “I’d like to think if I was motivated enough I could retroactively convert my parents from city bus drivers to tenured professors in a lucrative field, then I wouldn’t need a college education”?
>The state intervening more in housing should be the last resort, not the first.

Agree that too much gov regulations push prices up, but like it or not, the gov intervention is a necessary evil for quality housing that has infrastructure and won't fall on you after 10 years. Where I'm from in Eastern Europe housing is affordable due to the lack of gov regulations as developers go crazy and just build anything everywhere but those buildings while nice looking and modern, have no good infrastructure anywhere near them as neither the developers nor the government wants to spend money on it. So you get apartment buildings with no paved roads or parking lots, no schools, no kindergartens, no doctors, no bus stops, no parks or green spaces. Awful. Gov regulation could fix this but also make buildings more expensive for the developers and for the end buyers. In the end you can't just leave everything to the "free market".

>Realise that most people have property because their parents or grandparents worked hard and sacrificed for years or decades or their whole lives

Or, they got lucky to be born in a time when real estate, even in now red hot metro areas, was far cheaper for the average worker/family, as was getting education and a stable career and raising a family.

Saying hard work and sacrifice is the key ingredient to getting rich is massive survivorship bias and young people have wised up to this fact.

>Undermine envy by remembering that most families with wealth lose it within 3 generations, and that many people move into the top 1% of earners during their lifetimes, if only for while.

That's so untrue for Western Europe where the wealthiest families go back hundreds of years, and due to high taxes and low skilled wages you can't really move to the top 1%.

In Austria, the country's top 100 richest people own a third of the wealth in the entire country, and during the covid pandemic, the gap between them and everyone else got even wider while they got richer and everyone else poorer. One city already voted a communist mayor into power. Their wealth goes back centuries and hasn't been lost in 3 generations and will survive 3 more generations.

The limit of 70 lines is actually a slight increase beyond the 60 line limit imposed by NASA's Power of Ten Rules for Safety Critical Software.

In my experience, in every instance where we've refactored an overlong function, the result has almost always been safer.
As someone whose job involves maintaining uptime of a critical system that's dependent on Cosmos DB this sort of thing is scary. Where there's been other reliability issues with Cosmos before we've not had an understanding customer base, and it feels very out of my control.

I'm finding a lot of the reliability guarantees of Azure PaaS services are overblown or come with big caveats when you start to work with them in a serious way. For example I've had some bad reliability issues with Azure Functions not firing, or their premium function runtimes becoming unresponsive. And it seems like that's just the start of the outstanding issues with them https://github.com/Azure/azure-functions-host/issues

I think people need to look more carefully at these PaaS guarantees and look at what that 99.999% reliability Microsoft are claiming actually means.
Thing is, in this specific context, as I understand it, this is much easier to do post 9.x.

Notably, Postgres has more formal support for logical replication. Logical replication is distinct from the normal replication in that it forwards actual SQL to the replica rather than binary write ahead logs.

The SQL is portable across versions more than WALs are. So with logical replication you can copy a live db to a new version. Then you just need some (ideally) brief down time to swap out the servers.

There are solutions for 9.x, but it got much better later on.
I think the Excalidraw plugin solves a different problem. It’s great for creating diagrams, especially with a keyboard+mouse. What I’m looking for, though, is something like Apple Notes on iPad, where you can seamlessly write in your notes with your Apple Pencil. The Excalidraw plugin adds a lot of friction and complexity if all you want to do is write.

I think it might be one amongst many indirect signals for code quality.

It's a hard language, so the author of the program likely has at least some amount of prior experience to build off of, and to build anything truly substantial with it you have to have a deeper understanding of how the code actually works than you do with some other languages.

The language does do error handling, type validation, memory safety, and null checks really well. So, it's safe to assume that the app may have fewer bugs than it's counterpart written in, e.g., C or JS.

It could still be shit, of course, but I imagine the average quality of an app written in rust would be at least a little higher than thay of apps written in many other languages.
I've been freaking out all day with these Slack thread bugs lol
Ah I didn't realise it did that? The homepage still makes several references to lazily downloading JS?

Eagerly downloading JS is something every framework does though and many only download for the current view through code splitting for the current page. It doesn't fix the later two problems..., struggling to find any benefits above existing techniques here :/
We pretty much just implemented the quarterback and passing game.

So, you could drop back in the pocket, step side to side a bit and throw the ball.

There's a version of football called "7 on 7" which is basically just the Quarterback, Receivers, and Pass Defenders. It's common as a scrimmage practice for the passing skill positions, and it's a sport in its own right (see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2cckOaEOWM for an example).

So that's basically what we implemented. We also had, basically, minigames, which would focus on one receiver and throwing the ball to them in the right spot of the route.

Between play selection, pre-snap defensive reads, post-snap defensive reads, needing to release the ball within a few seconds, and having to release the ball with good form at the right time, to the right position on the field, there's a ton going on at the quarterback position, which is why we started there.

Once you released the ball, your job was basically done, and you watched the rest of the play unfold. It worked pretty well, it was a bit of downtime, and there was some randomness in the result (players could miss a tackle, for example) so it was kind of engaging. One thing that was very satisfying was hitting a wide open receiver perfectly in stride and not even bothering to watch them run into the end-zone because you knew they were going to score.
Perm boundaries have their place, but yes, in my previous role, each department/app group was allocated their own AWS account in the organization. Maybe we didn't get as fragmented as you recommend, because you could still have similar but different groups of people within an account working on projects and permission boundaries were still used.

regarding the frustrations with size limits: I feel the same about so many of the constraints in AWS IAM. Also on my gripe list: Using raw JSON to specify policy rather than a better DSL for expressing complex logic. Trying to get certain conditions properly specified can be a mind bender with the syntax provided, or be downright impossible.

IBM made the PC but others monetized it, most notably Microsoft followed by Compaq and Dell. [0] The PC architecture was not proprietary, and IBM didn't control the operating system.

By contrast IBM made boatloads of money off mainframes and their advantage was durable. That business line is still quite profitable even today. (Just not very big in comparison to the IT market.)

Sure, one should always ask "Cui bono?", but it's equally important to also examine the incentive structures at play which drive the leviathan that is the government. At its core, the trillions of dollars of wasteful spending happens because politicians are rewarded for spending money and punished for asking where that money comes from or how effective the spending actually was, many years later.

A good example is the Covid lockdowns that benefited the likes of Amazon or Home Depot at the expense of Main Street businesses. Cui bono? Certainly the wealthy class did. But did they collude and whisper into the ears of the halls of power in federal, state, and local levels (which all played roles in lockdowns) to make sure that people were forced to lock down harder and longer? No -- it's just the incentive structure. Politicians and bureaucrats had the choice between being rewarded for taking "decisive action" against the spread of the virus or pilloried for doing nothing, even if in hindsight it appears that we would have been better off doing nothing.

Stuff like this is precisely why conservatives argue for limited government and more delegation of powers to lower levels of government. It's much easier for a wealthy person to have pull on a single US senator to make themselves more wealthy, than for that same person to have pull on twenty different state senators, or five hundred different city councilors.

Going off grid and all the related complexities is quite an interesting thing. Unlike this article.
Same experience here.
I was die hard fan of obsidian till I used Logseq.
Obsidian doesn't have proper outlining as they have another commercial app called Dynalist.
They probably don't want competition between their own products.
Lack of folders in logseq is a feature.
It force the user to follow zettelcasten style which results in serendipitous encounters with older notes.
It doesn't read like a hit piece to me. I doubt most people would think to check their cell phone signal before parking a car.
I think the point is that many HN posts mention "I made X in Rust", whereas similar projects using Go or Javascript don't mention the language in the post title. So it does seem like Rust users tend to like vocalizing it.

I also think this study is slightly biased towards new and hip languages. For example, less people are going to vocalize that their new web app is made with Javascript, because that's already the assumption. But Elixir will almost certainly be mentioned
That sounds like a rather depressing, unfulfilled existence to me. It's like someone getting a job with a military defence contractor, then sitting at their desk doing crossword puzzles for a decade.
I don’t understand. Literally every company I’ve ever worked for, successful startup included, had at least an engineering manager reporting to a director reporting to a VP reporting to a senior VP reporting to a CTO. Is this not a normal or good way of doing things?

Feynman experimented briefly with LSD, ketamine, and marijuana, which he used to bring on isolation-induced hallucinations more quickly than he could when sober.

Eh, the kind of immersion and tutoring that rich parents can buy doesn’t remotely compare to having two professional mathematicians as parents.

The tutors for rich kids are likely to be local grad students who meet with the kids at most a few hours a week; you can’t exactly hire a fields medalist for tutoring. Perhaps more importantly, those rich kids are not getting singular training in math, they’re getting tutored in a gazillion things so they can be “well-rounded”. Also, those kids are not likely to develop the intrinsic motivation to do this stuff because their parents are still the ones instilling values in them. Those values are going to be “go to law school” or “start a business” or “pursue the arts” or some other avatar of “make as much money/social capital as possible”. Those values are likely not going to be “study math and prove theorems because it’s interesting”.
I love how it's always consumers who are expected to cut their usage while industry is by far the bigger problem.

That's a very interesting line of thought!
The blog post talks about inference, not prediction, so I find it odd you keep bringing up prediction tasks. There are interesting questions and differences here, but it is very much not the subject of the post.

A standard frequentist tool for making predictions is the prediction interval. This is the appropriate comparison point for Bayesian prediction methods, and exactly the same issues arise as in the comparison of confidence intervals to credible intervals (or posteriors). Namely, frequentist prediction intervals have guaranteed error control, while Bayesian predictions generally do not. So in certain cases you have to choose between being right most of time about your predictions, and being Bayesian.

I can't agree with this. Cocaine and Pot are two completely different subjects; the first creates a dependency and literally causes people to ruin their lives in pursuit of the substance, the second is about as dangerous/addictive (likely less so) than a beer.

I already deal with enough people on various drugs running around the neighborhood committing repeated "petty" crime in pursuit of the street drugs available.

I believe the runtime preallocates an OOME on startup, so if one is encountered it can just fill in the blanks and throw without needing any additional allocations.
The article mentions 5G networks only. 4G network is also mostly Huawei. Is there anything specific with 5G security? Or would it be too expensive to replace the widespread previous generation equipment?

Nobody here is betting all their worldly possessions.

In my case, I run a profitable enterprise SaaS business with enough cash balance (from retained earnings) to pay the entire lease term upfront without a significant impact. I demonstrated this to every landlord, and none changed their requirements. The market norms are what they are.

In the case of the article, the founder raised $100M, was on the cover of the Inc magazine, lives in a $3-4m house, and her husband sold another startup for $80M, etc. They hardly lose sleep over a $1.7M lawsuit in real estate. In NYC, that's just another minor claims dispute.

The PPP was an upward wealth distribution. It might look like a technocratic accident, but things always, always, always shake out this way.

On a similar note, the ~$2000 of assistance most Americans got went straight to landlords. This crisis was fully exploited by people who knew exactly what they were doing.
