The docs even spell this out:

> Commands that support the enhanced option parser accepts unique prefix of a long option as if it is fully spelled out, but use this with a caution. For example, git commit --amen behaves as if you typed git commit --amend, but that is true only until a later version of Git introduces another option that shares the same prefix, e.g. git commit --amenity option.

Of course that makes many flag additions technically breaking changes. This could be a surprise because if you accidentally dropped some characters you would have no warning until a Git update breaks it.
Sure, my team even failed to qualify to make things easier.

More seriously, I think I'll watch it nonetheless. FIFA and its subsidiaries are corrupted to the bone, but what can I do? I love football, and they'll run the game for a long time.
Twitter lays off 5K contractors in surprise 2nd wave of cuts, more mods lost
Crypto is highly correlated with equities and is sensitive to interest rates in the exact opposite way than you'd expect for something that is supposed to be inflation-proof.

As a simple example: BTC stopped dropping and actually rose $1000 on Thursday when the CPI numbers came out indicating that inflation grew less than expected last month. This shouldn't happen if crypto was actually an inflation hedge. Instead, almost all of crypto's value is speculation-based and so when the supply of money is more expensive (i.e. higher interest rates), the value of crypto assets in USD tends to decline and vice versa when interest rates are predicted to be lower (or not rise as much as expected).

I sucked at chemistry in school I just did not get it, partly because I was lazy, partly because I was a few weeks out of school due to an injury, partly because the whole structure of the classes were a total mess.

At university we had to take one chemistry course and suddenly it all made total sense. Everything was explaned logically from the ground up. I got a perfect score and really, really enjoyed the course. Now my son has chemistry in school (he is much better than I was) and I regret not having kept the manuscript for the course to give it to him.

A public ledger is not really anonymous, whether you put that in quotes or not. It can be censored, and this is a difficult game theory problem to solve. There are a few major mining pools which build the blocks, and some think that is not decentralized.

Bitcoin was an amazing advancement and I hope it can grow into solving some of these apparent challenges.

Well said. It is exactly this simple.
That centralization mostly occurred due to the economics of below-cost pricing though. It's not necessarily due to federation itself failing as a mechanism for email.

In other words, Gmail is the most popular email provider because it's in Google's interest to have people be logged in all the time so they can personalize search results, so that incentivizes them to make a very good email system and then give it away for free. Giving something good away for free because you gain indirect benefits via some other business will rapidly centralize more or less anything, which is why there are at least theoretically rules against market dumping and tying (which aren't really enforced in the software world, but that's another matter).

We can imagine a parallel universe in which search is far more competitive, with lower margins, and thus Google couldn't financially justify subsidizing consumer Gmail for so many years. In such a world it's likely that there'd be more players, perhaps they wouldn't be as good but there'd likely be more of them, there'd probably be companies that specialized in selling spam filtering tech to them and it'd look more federated than what we have today.

How is Apple lying that it's all about the user? Their support documents clearly outline what is E2E encrypted and their explicit justification for not locking iCloud backups is specifically because of situations where users are locked out of all their information because of a forgotten password.

Unless there's evidence that Apple has sustained a security breach as a result of this posture, it seems to me that they actually are caring about the user. The only incidents that I'm aware of with regard to Apple are social engineering and brute-forcing due to weak user passwords. Is there a situation or evidence that Apple is lying here?
I use Github. Am I the only one?

I'm sure it's not Github's ideal use case, but if they bin off my account, at least I have the files locally, and I take periodic backups to a physical drive that I store. Can't say it's particularly fast to clone to a new machine though and it's not streamable like e.g. S3.

'Sourcing' new music? TBP, Google dorks used to be good a few years ago but clickbait-farmers cottoned on and now they're unusable. If you have the misfortune of being in the UK, you'll need a VPN.
So, I think this new legislation might be bad, as the distinction between a component vs a finished product is a lot less clear in software, and particularly open-source projects. I'm not sure the lawmakers will consider this carefully.
You might as well say no, because that’s not a cloud provider. I’m not sure stealing is the right solution. Most artists struggle to make ends meet and have little control over their own music rights.

Had this happen to one of my projects. Someone decided to remove my name from the LICENSE file on their fork. I called them out on it, and they put it back, saying it was a "mistake".

> Does usage of the devices lead to increased sales on Amazon.com?

Yes. We have a few Alexa's and it's helpful to reorder commodities with your voice as you run out of that item (batteries, tape, printer paper, etc). I just add them to my cart and check the price later, but I like it because I'll likely forget to reorder some of those things if I don't do it right away.

Apple and Samsung own our pockets with their devices (and associated platforms), Amazon wants to own the spaces where our phone isn't always close by or easy to use (mostly home and car).

anyone who claims to know is lying to you. historically speaking, a good heuristic would be: not your keys not your coins, no matter what the exchange is. if you control your own keys then you don't need to wonder about whether binance is solvent or not.
I agree with the GP that you really need to work through a lot of problems to fully understand a mathematical subject. But there are a couple cases where I did have real, lasting moments of insight, and the 3B1B linear algebra series was one of them. Hearing it stated directly that the columns of a transformation matrix are the coordinates of the basis vectors after the transformation (a fact that I had somehow missed across multiple linear algebra classes) turned on a light bulb in my head.

The Borsuk-Ulam theorem is another example of something that seems obvious in hindsight but that I had never run across before.
Tesla had a thermal management system called "Super bottle", which later eveolved into the "OctoValve".

instead of multiple coolant systems as in other cars, they combined them all into one big system, and gain benefits from that. It was a very clever bit of engineering, and octovalve only improved upon it further.

FTX Latest: Binance CEO Plans Recovery Fund, Laments Bad Actors
Somewhat off topic, but I find a different part of this to be quite ugly:

if match || err != nil {
return rule, err
}

Translating this code to actual logic takes too much thought and is too fragile. Is that an error path or a success path? It’s both! The logic is “if we found a rule or if there was an error then return a tuple that hopefully indicates the outcome”. If any further code were to be added in this block, it would have to be validated for the success and the error case.

But this only makes any sense at all if one is okay with reading Go result returns in their full generality. A canonical Go function returns either Success(value) or Error(err not nil, meaningless auxiliary value). And this code has “meaningless auxiliary value” != nil! In fact, it’s a pointer that likely escapes further into unrelated error handling code and thus complicates and kind of lifetime or escape analysis.

I don’t use Go, but if I did, I think this part of the language would be my biggest peeve. Go has very little explicit error handling; fine, that’s a reasonable design decision. But Go’s error handing is incorrectly typed, and that is IMO not a reasonable design.

There's more of this implicit US American bias in modern computing than you would think after the whole ASCII/Unicode mess - I thought they finally learnt something about computers actually being used by other people back then, but no.

One of my pet peeves: Badly implemented "press CTRL + / to search". Entering an actual slash, which requires e.g. SHIFT+7 on German keyboards, won't open the search box, but pressing the key where American layouts have a slash will.

Stupid autocorrect
Personally I like auto suggestions like this, but I never want it to interrupt typing, so it should never grab input when you press typing-related keyboard keys, including the enter key, space and arrow keys which you need to move the cursor around.

I do not want to have to close boxes that appear at arbitrary times with the esc key to continue regular typing, since the box interrupts flow and there is a reaction time between seeing the box and closing it with esc.

It would be ok to me if you have to use another less regularly used key, e.g. tab or ctrl+space, first to get into the suggestion box and then use arrows to select one.

This applies also (especially in fact) in code editors, chrome devtools, etc...

I wish others felt the same so this feature would be implemented in a less interrupting way by default. I've never seen it implemented in a non-interrupting way in anything ever.

There was some belief, I think, that there was an app space for voice apps, similar to mobile. I don't think that's necessarily true, and despite Alexa focusing on making it relatively easy for developers to create their own VUI apps, there hasn't been (as far as I know), any real killer app developed in this space.

Calculus - an intuitive and physical approach. I did some of these exercises and they were easy. They helped me in calculus. I liked the explanation of secant lines.

How to prove it - I like the reduction of proofs to mechanical symbol pushing. Good exercise difficulty for self study, good notation.

I also liked some parts of the traditional calculus book. I read a lot of it. It’s pretty good considering literally everyone takes the class with the book. I would never use this for self study, but I enjoyed it during class.

Mathematics for physicists books provide a good overview of math topics. Haven’t really done any exercises though.

All the layoffs announced (sans the Musking that just happened) are in line with normal annual attrition plus a bump given the huge hiring spree during the pandemic to meet pandemic demand. I’ll bet $20 if you took HC growth prepandemic and straight lined it through to today inclusive of layoffs you would see normal YoY growth between those two points, which an aberration in 20/21 of high hiring. I think you’ll see a bit of party hangover and if the whole economy sinks it’ll get worse. But overall I’ve not observed any material structural shift in the world or in tech, unlike say the dot com bust or the global financial crisis. There’s some cold spots though like real estate tech that’ll probably go through a tough time.

I think a lot of folks here have never been through a down cycle before though and anything that’s not frantic growth and double digit comp growth YoY will feel like a nuclear winter.
I prioritize my interests and try to reevaluate what I'm doing periodically. This is by no means a serious process for me. I have a note where I have the things I want to do listed, sorted by priority in descending order, and I may not actually look at it again for a while. The priority is determined by my level of interest, probable duration, potential cost, potential return, and whether it creates life opportunities. That means some of those interests will never be done, but that's probably a good thing. When I find an interest is either taking longer than expected or my satisfaction is declining, I think back to my list and go "ok, maybe this actually isn't the most optimal thing I could be doing" and switch to something else.
Or the combined units could just be repairable instead of being replaceable?

That’s really good, and I hope you’re able stay that way.

For anyone that does recognize some of these, or if you do ever feel anything like that, be aware that internal acceptance (in a ‘this is happening’ sense, not necessarily ‘this is healthy for me’ sense), awareness, and working through it are more healthy than suppressing or ignoring it. There are tools to work through these things. It does require work and time.

There are other trauma cascade reactions. Externally, trauma reactions also include being overly friendly to someone attacking you, freezing up and not taking action due to brain lock, running away even if you knew what to do due to an overwhelming sense of fear, denial/avoidance of major problems (to the degree of delusion), etc.

Most of them have distinctive physical reactions that proceed them, and individuals will usually have a specific tendency towards one of them by default, but it is heavily modifiable with training - to a point.
> Yes they should. A deposit liability arises from the fact that they received an asset in a deposit transaction. Liabilities and assets aren't mutually exclusive in any transaction, and both must increase when you receive a customer's deposit, or else where does the liability come from?

Does a cash transporter count the contents of their armored vans as assets? Does DHL count the contents of their vehicles and warehouses as assets? Why should exchanges be different?

I know it's the law for exchanges to account custodial funds as assets (SAB121), but I don't see why it should be this way. In fact it seems to achieve the opposite of consumer protection.
You can't forget that it's also usually slower than trading off-chain.

I have cats. Others have children, but I have cats. And if there's a single "theme" of the photos on my iPhone, it's my cats.

The iPhone every now and then crawls through my photos and spits out a movie with some music based on what it finds. It did a very nice one of my anniversary trip to San Diego with my wife.

That said, I get several "Pet Friends" movies.

I ADORE these. They always brighten my day when one of those shows up. Especially when they make one of my long past pets. It's the same photos as always, as I've always seen, but it puts them in a new light. It's a great feature.

I'm sure someone, somewhere, in some meeting, said "Hey, when we do these movies, we should be able to do ones with pets." And they were right. They should have, and they did, and I'm grateful for it.

I'm far from a crypto pusher but I've been around it for years...

The issue is that exchanges are pretty much guaranteed to be frauds, by market dynamics. There are only a few routes to profit, 1) charge users or 2) use user's funds to trade, or 3) trade against the user but with more knowledge. One of those is limited to maybe $20 per year, the other two are crimes. Every single crypto exchange picked one or both of the crime strategies because it was the way to make an exchange wildly profitable.

People who did use exchanges are people who were doing things they were warned were not a good idea, and were doing it for the obviously unrealistic gains and imho would have simply mailed their money to a Ponzi scam if that was all that was available.

Everything has some weakness and crypto is like cash here - if you let someone hold onto it for even a second they can refuse to return it.

I don't think you can blame a community of honest developers who described and detailed the risks for intentionally self-deluding investors. A 100%+ yearly return is a better indicator of something wrong than of a great untapped opportunity and these investors tried betting against people who they were assured were scammers and when that failed they blame the currency. It's like trying to win a rigged game against a carnie and then blaming the bus driver who gave you a ride to the carnival.
