Big Box retailers will give you shelf space, but if product isn't moving, they can force you to buy it back from them. That's part of the agreement signed between the parties. Just like Apple putting in as part of the contract that you sell at stated price, it's something agreed between parties.

I really really hate how common it is for someone on tiktok to claim they have relevant credentials and then repeat a blatant lie about the industry that's been a lie forever.

There was a person who posted a video saying "I'm a flight attendant and airline seats are designed to kill you to pay less for the lawsuit" even though that's been debunked IN POPULAR MEDIA for about twenty years (mythbusters) and "Flight attendant" should not be considered a reputable source for information on the engineering, legal, and liability of an airline. And yet, she had millions of views.

It's just utterly FULL of assholes claiming they are reputable and spouting the dumbest, oldest, most asinine conspiracy theories for views.
When SBF tweet that "FTX is fine. Assets are fine" that must have been warning enough. Exactly what LUNA and Celsius said. Can't make a warning more clear.

Herb Sutter’s Effective Modern C++: 42 Specific Ways to Improve Your Use of C++11 and C++14
Flexibility is tremendously valuable. In absolute terms a 0.7% difference is really small. Individual circumstances varied, but for average middle-class consumers the smart move was to take the 30 year mortgage. Then they could make extra principal payments, or if money gets tight one month then just pay the minimum without worrying about defaulting.

Sure in an ideal world we would all have 6 months of living expenses in an emergency fund plus multiple independent income streams so that getting laid off would be only a minor inconvenience. But the reality is that most homeowners have few other assets and just one job, so they have to plan within those limitations.
An AlterNAT Future: We Now Have a Nat Gateway Replacement
You should read Carl Newport thoughts on "finding your passion" on "So Good They Can't Ignore You":

His thoughts on "finding your passion" are that most people don’t have a clear passion to follow, and that we don’t have evidence having a job based on an interest makes you more likely to find that work satisfying. He believes that is better to master valuable niche skills and then use them as leverage to steer your work to directions that resonate with you.

He also has develop a framework for life called Deep Life where he separates the Deep Life into 4 areas: Community (family, friends, etc.), Craft (work and quality leisure), Constitution (health), and Contemplation (matters of the soul).

"To me, the deep life is about focusing with energetic intention on things that really matter — in work, at home, and in your soul — and not wasting too much attention on things that don’t". – Cal Newport

>Tokens give you partial ownership of fuck-all.

This is not entirely accurate. The "crypto" industry is not a monolithic piece of technology or implementation. Some tokens provide governance, which is a proxy for legal ownership. Some tokens provide ownership directly or contain trustless, immutable access to assets.

I personally find decentralized programmable networks like ethereum- where it's sort of choose your own adventure in regard to utility, ownership, implementation, et cetera- to be more interesting than bitcoin.

Musk is making a huge mistake. He's going to squeeze people to free platforms and the ecosystem that remains will be hollow and degraded.

He should focus on consolidating digital currencies through a one-way sidechain that absorbs all other blockchain values. BTC, ETC, DOGE all go in, but only Twitter coin or fiat currency comes out.

Elon is making a classic blunder and leaning against previous experiences and achievements, but they won't tailor well to the future.

How does it determine where are the stresses? Is it based on just the word itself?

I'm very new to English poetry, I might be entirely wrong here. But when I input some famous poems, the way this app puts stresses is quite a bit different from my understanding.

For instance, for

> Bards of Passion and of Mirth,

It sees _and_ as unstressed, the second _of_ as stressed, and _Mirth_ as unstressed, which doesn't quite make sense to me to be honest.

> Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow

It sees both _and_ as unstressed, while my understanding is that this verse is better read as fully iambic, putting stresses on both _and_.

> And what is love? It is a doll dress'd up / For idleness to cosset, nurse and dandle

https://i.imgur.com/raPMDnc.png

It sees four consecutive unstressed syllables. I'm not sure what is the logic here.
That has got to be a very rare occurrence. Asking first is in my opinion the best advice. If in rare situations the person is giving a long winded or incoherent answer it should be okay to interrupt, but to avoid asking them what they tried on the off chance they are a poor communicator seems to me a bad tactic.
Bit of a tangent, but it's kind of harder to hire as well.

Years ago when interviewing people I didn't have to wonder as often how passionate the candidate actually is towards the field, or whether they're just looking for a high pay job.

These days I get those doubts a bit more. I think most people are still at least somewhat passionate though (bad/awkward programmer tooling which we've gotten used to are somehow great filters....)

> It seems the brickwall mastering was intentionally done by Mick Gordon

Where are you getting this? His in-game music was perfectly fine, and the only instances of brickwall mastering were present within the "official OST" (that was mixed by Chad, splicing together the in-game music poorly). Which Gordon had no hand in whatsoever, outside of providing the source material, i.e., the in-game music.

Their premise is that they are not doing fractional reserves and actually have all user funds available at all times. SAFU is just an additional safeguard and was primarily created to compensate for hacks (it was used one time when Binance was hacked for $50M).

IMO Binance has billions of their own cash reserves (not user funds), based on their activity in the last year (acquision of coinmarketcap for 0.4B, commiting $1B to boost crypto projects and companies etc.. this must be a fraction of their overall worth and in that case, $6B should also not be a huge issue, especially since they can get a lot of goodwill and millions of FTX users).

Binance collects billions of dollars from fees every year and also get money from their external investments (e.g. Binance invested in FTX and sold their shares last year for $2B ($1.5B and $0.5B FTT)).
I have something that has a lifecycle and I don't want to initialize and destroy the state every time. I encapsulate that into a function, call it a hook, and go about my day knowing that I don't have to care about redoing the lifecycle every single time.

I think just frontend is a more apples to apples comparison. In that scope, what >10 teams >1m ARR are using plain Rails/Django html templates with html button actions and such? If you shop around at Rails/Django jobs, they're almost all going to be using different frontends that you'd need to ramp up on: React, Vue, jQuery, Hotwire, Turbo, Stimulus, HTMX, Alpine.js, etc. You could also say "If you know jQuery fast forward 9 years ago... you still know it" and be right about keeping yourself to the limited opportunities to do it the old-fashioned way.

What positives do you have in mind?

My impression of windows 11 is "WSL GUI plus a bunch of obnoxious UI changes".

And GUI for WSL is super niche and was originally announced and developed as a windows 10 feature.

Edit: Oh I think explorer tabs made it into mainline. But you can't pop them out or drag them between windows?

Getting started with DocSend’s integration with Dropbox Capture in 4 steps
There’s a pretty massive grey market in iPhones.

There’s a couple of ways they are sourced but basically:

- Buy Apple gift cards for 70-80% of face value from let’s just say dubious sources and then use that to buy phones

- Fedex or warehouse employees stealing to supplement their salaries

- Authorized retailers who break their agreement

- Buyback websites or stores where people bring phones and get paid like 60% of retail or less if it’s locked. Some of this is just people wanting to return a gift they got without asking the giver for the receipt but most of the phones bought at these kind of stores are obtained through “credit mulling” where they gather up a bunch of homeless people and pay them $20 to go into an AT&T store and get a phone on credit.

- Currency arbitrage: if the Euro drops and companies don’t update their prices and you are able to get VAT refunds then you could be able to get a phone for less than it’s American retail value. This (big drop in yen) combined with the camera shutter is why Japanese spec iPhones can be a lot cheaper.

https://www.hanggroup.com/price/ is a company with 9 figure revenue that purchases these no questions asked. You can see the most they pay for a phone is $1050 for the 14 pro max which is $50 below retail.

John Carmack had no hand in DOOM (2016), and was out of iD Software for quite a while by that point, so I have no idea why you felt the need to bring him up.
And the Discover bonus is limited to $75 in cash back per quarter at the 5% rate (at least on the card I have), which means you could probably do it once or twice before you’re back to earning 1%. And if you’re in the first year you’d need to wait until the card’s first birthday to get the other half, so you’d lose money until then.
Nice explanation. There was never much focus on the enforcement aspect.

Though that raises the interesting question, why were so many folks, some of them quite credible, boosting cryptocurrencies the idea regardless?

Wonderful! Reminds me of "Jiro Dreams of Sushi". That is the quality of most human endeavor, which is neutral, or slightly positive (or negative) on the scale of protecting Life itself. Those who find true meaning and purpose at a human scale are quite fortunate. The purpose I speak of is the best purpose, in the Aristotelian sense, and so should be the purpose of global human leadership, and every individual's experience shaped by that purpose. There is still room for excellent ramen in such a world. And in fact that total commitment, the attainment of "flow", is exceptional and serves as a good example for everyone else.

To save Life in the long term will be the task of millions over many years, and the work will be easier with good raman in the belly.
I agree it would be no problem. It would obviously be an enormous security problem. Apps would have to know the government ID of children. Nefarious entities could stage denial-of-service attacks against individuals.

If such a system exists, there should be easily found documentation for it.

What are those 3B people doing? Spreading conspiracy theories, looking at cat pics, and searching for porn. Whenever someone is on FB or google they are less productive, not more. Sure, a small fraction of those people are using FB or google for "work", but their work is usually just finding ways to get more people to waste more time on google or FB, or some other nonproductive activity people get paid for.

There is a fun experiment about stubbing an arm https://youtube.com/watch?v=3DwVsjC_wIw
Declarative works better than imperative only when someone has already defined the imperative process that takes you from any given state to your goal and does that for you based on your declaration.

Google maps works great for a set of origins to a set of departures for certain modes of travel. Once you get outside those bounds, it can fail in significant ways.

Thus the entire premise of the article thus seems to boil down to: If someone has already done the work, don't re-do it.

The problem with declarative configuration is that as the systems they manage become more complex, inevitably you leave the bounds of the solved problem and have to start solving it for yourself imperatively.

I can keep working with the current (and past) Thunderbird interface forever. Some software is done and it needs updates only to keep up with changes to the OS and to protocols. Thunderbird is one of them IMHO.

I don't even use IMAP, nor calendar. I download from POP3 servers and use the calendar on my phone instead.
Not true. The AR/VR group is mostly unaffected.
I think the amount of people that would see the error either way would be the same, assuming constant fix time and traffic. This means lowering the TTL as much as possible should be the right solution, because those affected will only have the issue for as long as the fix takes (hopefully less than 1hr) whereas if it is kept at 1hr those affected by the error will have it for an entire hour.

Show HN: StorageX – An all-in-one localstorage/sessionstorage/cookie manager
Hey everyone, my friend and I created this browser extension for developers as a toolset to manage browser storage(local/session/cookies).

Though this was started with just the share feature where in you can share storage across tabs (personal use case for Rahul in his organisation which inspired StorageX), but it has grown into a multi-featured toolset to manage all browsers storages.

And plan is to add more features going forward and make it a single extension you'll need for any operations on browser storage.

Please give it a look and let us know your thoughts/suggestions!
There will also be overhead fees ( eg. Banking) which need to be concluded in.

Either way, some of that money will always end with different people ( banks or persons).

25% overhead fee would be the extreme minimum due to the small amount per person.

Forcibly squashing PRs just loses information and doesn't bring any benefits in return.

In my experience, only the simplest PRs boil down into what's logically a single commit. Many PRs are simple, sure, but often you end up with bunch of logically connected atomic changes instead.

Let's take Mesa, an established and fairly high quality project, as an example. Look at its open MRs.

You can find bunch of single commit MRs, but some of them consist of approx. 2-4 commits, all of them with proper commit message. See for example https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/19... or https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/19.... It wouldn't make any sense to squash them when merging.

You can also get monster MRs consisting of 10-20 commits, like https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/19... or https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/19.... Splitting them out into separate MRs would serve nobody, only increasing noise and review turnaround time. Squashing them would lose a lot of useful information that you definitely want to retain for things like blame or bisect.

Now, Mesa actually doesn't utilize git as well as it could - it doesn't encode the commit's relation to merge request in any way other than commit message (`Part-of:` tag). Personally, I would merge a rebased branch using `git merge --no-ff` option, which would create a merge commit. This way, you get best of both worlds: by using tools like `git log` or `git bisect` with `--first-parent` flag you get what's essentially a list of merged MRs, filtering individual commits out; and if you don't add that flag, you get every single individual commit considered, useful for stuff like `blame` or single file `log`.

Also, before pushing a MR for review, my work branch is usually a mess. Lots of poorly divided up commits, without proper commit messages, sometimes undoing each other. `git rebase -i`, with squashing and rewording, is part of my everyday workflow. It allows me to use git as my personal undo and "let's-try-it-in-CI" tool without putting that baggage onto the reviewer. I get to be as messy as it's useful during my work, and the reviewer gets properly curated list of commits that's ready to be merged into the repository as-is. It's a win-win.

Not using rebases when working with git is fine when you work alone or when you're just learning how to use git, say, during a university project or internship. Otherwise, you're doing yourself a big disservice if you don't put that tiny effort into getting comfortable with tools you're using every day in your work.
