Square.com uses similar looking links and buttons in a dark pattern to trick users.

Login and land on the Home page. You want to look at transfers to your bank account (Balance > Account). Here you see big blue link box taking your to Balance: https://postimg.cc/yD97T8yT

Sometimes this blue box is a button to initiate an early transfer, which triggers an additional early transfer fee: https://postimg.cc/t1jpvGrG

Once you get to the Balance page, you still need to find the link taking you to the Account page (View All Transfers) to actually see your transfers. Square takes a second stab at getting that fee with a big blue button in the middle of the page: https://postimg.cc/bG98KVMD

Now perform this same action several times a week, all year round, and you will make the mistake and press the transfer button.

It only takes once for you to have a never ending enmity towards Square for filching $25 from your income.

I was caught the once in October of 2021. I *recall* the transfer was initiated immediately (and the extra fee of 1.5%). Since then I've revisited the button when the transfer was low, and I was willing to risk $5 to get a screen shot of the next page. That time I did find a confirmation screen (I can't find the screen shot now).

I call support, but they would not refund the transfer, despite having pressed it by accident, despite having never used the feature before, and having over five year relationship with about 200k/yr in sales going through their platform. "But you're getting the service" was their reply.
> The media put a lot of focus on tuition fees, but they weren't high up the Lib Dem agenda

Lib Dems target students and young people who are generally more liberal, their main selling point to them was tuition fees. Young people got them to government and they immediately turned on their voters.

If this was the whole truth we could as easily excuse facial recognition algorithms failing non-white people by simply saying that non-white people are more difficult to identify.

The algorithm is a human-made thing and subject to conscious intents or subconscious biases of its makers.
That would be read-only though, so not an ideal solution for Sublime. Although one could mmap and then reference the original from a structure describing how the file was modified.

However mmaping files which can be modified by another process concurrently is tricky. You can just get killed by SIGBUS.

> 318,000 — or about a third — of the COVID deaths in the United States were preventable.

So isn't it possible to work out how many more Republicans than Democrats died due to inadequate COVID policies? Those figures could then be used to calculate how many more votes Trump might have received if the COVID response had been different.

I know that there are important differences between the national popular vote, the electoral college vote, and the distribution of COVID patients, but it's worth pointing out that Trump apparently came within 44,000 votes (across Georgia, Arizona and Wisconsin) of getting a tie in the electoral college.

"According to the standard story, which is unfortunately still found in many physics textbooks, quantum theory emerged when it was realized that classical physics predicts an energy distribution for black-body radiation that disagrees violently with that found experimentally. In the late 1890s, so the story continues, the German physicist Wilhelm Wien developed an expression that corresponded reasonably well with experiment – but had no theoretical foundation. When Lord Rayleigh and James Jeans then analysed black-body radiation from the perspective of classical physics, the resulting spectrum differed drastically from both experiment and the Wien law. Faced with this grave anomaly, Max Planck looked for a solution, during the course of which he was forced to introduce the notion of “energy quanta”. With the quantum hypothesis, a perfect match between theory and experiment was obtained. Voila! Quantum theory was born.

The story is a myth, closer to a fairytale than to historical truth. Quantum theory did not owe its origin to any failure of classical physics, but instead to Planck’s profound insight in thermodynamics."

This proves that physics is an unregulated professional field ruled by authority. Physicists have no respect for history and feel arrogantly that they can write history anachronistacally to create a physics myth.

Same corruption of history happenned with one of the most fundamental experiments in physics, the Cavendish experiment. Physicists decided that Cavendish measured Newton's constant of gravitation for the first time. This is propaganda. Newton's constant was defined a century after Cavendish's death. But, for physicists that's a small and irrelevant detail.

Unregulated professionals lie and cheat. Physicists are professionals and they lie and cleat to further their careers.

No, programming languages exist in a different domain. The domain of frameworks is explicitly in toolchains and environments.

It's similar to the difference between function and algorithm. The former is literally code, and the latter is conceptual.

Many programming languages are distributed with a cohesive framework. For example, Rust is distributed not only with rustc to compile binaries, but also with cargo to manage library dependencies. That doesn't prevent you from using rustc without cargo, though, or even making another rust compiler for GCC, and using GCC's framework.
> Coding is accessible to artists designers and educators

I don't think that "accessible" is the same as "possible". Yes, it's possible for artists, designers, and educators to learn programming in any environment.
But "possible" is boolean—like Turing complete. "Accessible" is a more of gradient—are the kinds of things that you want to to do easy or hard? Is it a good environment for learning and exploration? Etc.

If we are talking about interactive use, you could always use an alias.

But if we are talking about scripts, you should at least use "fgrep -- [a] < file". And if you’re adding an option anyway, you might as well use "grep -F -- [a] < file". Personally, I prefer using options, specifically long options, in scripts; meaning "grep --fixed-strings --regexp=[a] < file".

If you don’t do this, the script will fail spectacularly the day when the string happens to start with a hyphen (-).
> The only way the IFR might change is if healthcare systems got so overrun that they could no longer give care. This did not happen anywhere in the industrialized world. In fact all of the temporary field hospitals here in the states were closed virtually.

Are you sure, especially particularly early & also this late? My understanding is that several crucial treatments were mass-deferred, several places had no beds, the dead were literally stacked on trucks, and the medical system has been utterly destroyed either from staff falling ill or getting so emotionally destroyed that they've quit. Wasn't there a mainstream situation a bit ago where a nurse literally had to call the fire department because of lack of medical staff?

My understanding is that hospitals still haven't recovered in terms of staffing.
We entered a recession at the start of this quarter.
Anonymizing IP addresses wouldn't do anything it you still collect other data that is unique enough, such as a browser user agent or session ID. The whole thing you're trying to do requires a persistent identifier (to track the user across their browsing session) and since analytics is not functionally-necessary, it will require consent.

The only analytics you can do without consent is effectively a stateless hit counter that increases on every operation. For a lot of features, it's more than enough and saves you from all these headaches.

Not normally, no. A real snapshot is held during the initial creation of the logical slot. After that the slot's "catalog xmin" prevents old catalog (but not user table!) row versions from being removed, but that's somewhat different from a snapshot.

I agree. I did this for my Website Builder SaaS. I had this during development: ah yeah, almost forgot, I need analytics or stats of some sort, but I don't want Google.

I suspect that there is a sort of “design language” that more or less unabashedly targets the psycho-social state that many millennials (and perhaps even more youthful Gen Z and Boomer crowds; granted my understanding of how “generations” work isn’t a great) feel about the world.

I shouldn’t have to to think about dopamine and capitalism when I’m looking for a social network; on the other hand I do, kind of, but being introduced to software or a service shouldn’t be presented as such an emotional experience as I think it is.

That’s not relevant in a situation where inflation is actually increasing month over month, usually at a far higher rate than expected.

This month’s core CPI was expected to be 0.2%. It ended up being 0.4%.

Headlines about increasing inflation are not being hysterical; they’re being factual.

I don't believe the numbers regardless of how they are spun. Anecdotally, prices on everything are much higher than +8.9% from a year ago.

What did Bill Gates learn after the Microsoft antitrust case? Don't snub Washington:

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/10/14/bill-gates-i-was-naive-at-mi...

> "I was naive at Microsoft and didn't realize that our success would lead to government attention," Gates said, referring to Microsoft's antitrust challenges from more than 20 years ago. "And so I made some mistakes — you know, just saying, 'Hey, I never go to Washington, D.C.' And now I don't think, you know, that naivete is there."

https://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2002...

> For a couple of embarrassing years in the mid-'90s, Microsoft's primary lobbying presence in D.C. was "Jack and his Jeep." As the software giant's sole in-house lobbyist, Jack Krumholtz, then 33, had to battle endless traffic jams to get from Microsoft's suburban sales office to Capitol Hill. "Early on I spent most of the day in my Jeep Grand Cherokee on my cellphone," Krumholtz says. "I hit an all-time low on the day I was parked on a Capitol Hill side street reading through my mail with the laptop on the steering wheel."

> No longer. After the Justice Department filed its antitrust suit in 1998, Microsoft--a company famous for its disdain of government--undertook the largest government affairs makeover in corporate history. The company now boasts one of the most dominating, multifaceted, and sophisticated influence machines around, one that spends tens of millions a year. It's no great surprise that one of the country's wealthiest companies can bankroll a beefed-up lobbying operation when it faces a crisis. But what few people realize is that Microsoft has reached the very highest ranks of lobbying so quickly. Says David Hart, a lobbying expert at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government: "Microsoft has joined the top tier"--with such longtime heavyweights as Philip Morris, Lockheed Martin, and AT&T.

The point is this isn’t happening. CPI is up less than half a percent since June [1].

Core is more consistently rising [2]. But beef costs about what it did in March [3][4]. (We have to go back a decade to find ground beef at $3/lb.)

I see. When writing my comment I also had in mind all the businesses that are not primarily technical (shops and such).

I think it’s often possible to identify the truly inflexible/snowflake aspects the business and still make use of frameworks/CMS. For a tech-focused company there are possibly more cases in which building your own is a viable decision, but with other companies that don’t have strong technical brains so to speak “this will cost you more to develop and more difficult to hire for later” is something they would understand…
GDPR compliance is trivial if you build it from the start. Those who can comply can easily do so themselves.

The problem is that a lot of businesses (or careers) just won't be possible without breaching the GDPR, and that's not something a "compliance-as-a-service" company would fix. A honest company would tell you to close your business or severely downsize your marketing team, a dishonest one would just take your money and give you a false sense of security.

In bullet points :
- GDPR is a risk management policy about personal data protection more than a privacy regulation

- for any personal data (PII) all companies must declare the following :

- purpose of the collection and the treatment of the specific data

— legal base of the treatment (6 available, they are the field card in Magic the gathering, they define a context of what is possible to do)

- data category (what type of data you are collecting i.e if you declare collecting delivery shipping information for a purpose, you limit yourself to data that correspond to that category )

- data retention duration (how long you declare storing the data in production and then in archive)

- list of recipients (all the 3rd party companies who will access the data)

- security measures (what is the level of security for keeping that data safe from breaches)

- some infos about the company, the data controller (who is responsible) etc…

So all companies must do a internal data mapping to know and declare where is the data and where it flows in production and write for every PII a ROPA (record of processing activity)
You can find an open source specification UROPA here)

- consent is just one of the 6 legal bases to collect and treat data. The comment above that everything is possible with consent is wrong.

1. iCloud sync is optional. You can sync the history, or notebooks (or both). Or keep everything always local only.
2. ShellHistory syncs with your private iCloud account, nobody other than person having access to your AppleID (with 2nd factor auth) cannot get access to it.
3. I would say it could be even better than storing your history in a file. Considering that with the ShellHistory you have access to "Full-Text-Search" and can really quickly find any accidental leaked information.
4. In v2 I have implemented an ignore pattern with RegEx, where you can define which commands you want to be ignored from saving to database.

I understand your frustration with the current state of psychiatry, but I think that you may be reading too much of it into my comment. I had no intention of shifting any blame from the wholly inappropriate combination of prescribed drugs or the psychiatrist to the patient, and I used very deliberate wording to intentionally avoid making any reference whatsoever to the gender of the patient. The point of my post was to highlight that this case appeared to be a manic episode which could be triggered by almost any antidepressant, not a rare and unique adverse effect that could only be caused by pramipexole or dopamine agonists.
Not for any legit charities.

As an example Oxfam spend over 70% on humanitarian work and development programs. Some of that will likely include expenses of things like tents and food and also wages for medical staff and lorry drivers etc. But most charities don't just hand out cash

Jim Meyering made the change, who has been maintaining these things from before half the people here were born.

Even when taking over maintainership for popular packages later on, people often aren't exactly breaking down the door for it. So my philosophy is simple: "if you do the work, you get to decide". I may like or dislike these decisions, and at times I may even rant about how stupid a certain decision is, but in the end ... the people doing the work get to decide. The alternative of being beholden to a vaguely defined "community" of armchair quarterbacks is much worse, IMO.
