I agree with this. The point was meant to be that asking for the $6 back was due to rich people cluelessness, but I'd read that situation as the person being a dickhead.

On the more general question of "venmo the salsa," or splitting bills, my friends have a mix of backgrounds. Some of the poorer ones are scrupulous about splitting the bill correctly, while some of the richer ones either pay for the whole thing or stick a photo of the bill in a group chat then don't follow it up, while others are like she describes. There seems to be little correlation with wealth but an obvious one with which city they grew up in, which makes it hard for me to accept her argument.
Here's the way it works, in practice.

Legislators who propose and pass this legislation use it to demonstrate their support for Israel, or coal mining, or gun rights, or whatever anti-boycotting cause they're advancing. They are the primary beneficiaries here, because it helps them get donations and get re-elected.

Entities who are forced to sign these pledges generally put as much thought into it as you or I put into agreeing to a TOS with a binding arbitration agreement. In other words, not very much thought at all.

Because ... As you've pointed out, the government cannot, in practice, prove that those entities are actually boycotting unless the entities come right out and say it. So if the entities actually want to boycott Israel, they can continue to do so without announcing it. The law doesn't actually stop anyone from boycotting Israel; at best, it merely stops them from publicizing what they're doing.

The reason this doesn't get much push-back from most people who are forced to sign the pledge is because they weren't actually planning to boycott anyway. But there's a small number, such as the publisher who's at the heart of this case, who had no plans to boycott Israel, but who isn't going to let those legislators bully them.
As someone who tries to design & implements languages on my own time I’ve learned 1 really important thing.

Features don’t make a language good or important. Its the invisible broth the features live in that make them useful. The cohesive nature of python is something few languages can touch. The features in python though not always innovative by themselves work together like magic.

Most people stuck in the initial hype phase of FP often miss these things, but python is special & shouldn’t be discarded because its lack of hyped features of the day.
The 8086 didn't have a separate stack for interrupts.

So, as I understand it, the problem isn't that code running in the interrupt handler might push data to a bad place; the problem is that the the processor itself would do so when pushing the return address before branching to the interrupt handler.
It should be very obvious that when someone says "X is better" they mean that — in their estimation and according to their beliefs, X is better. Spelling it all out isn't always necessary.
I think it's referring people who use apps like venmo to settle up for small trivial things that could easily be ignored. Especially as these are people that usually have enough money that the £3 for salsa would make no difference to them whatsoever.

What do you mean? C, C++, D, Rust, Haskell, and Common Lisp seem to be capable of static linking. (Admittedly Common Lisp seems to require a fork of SBCL that was written about last year, but still)
I'm gathering that they just took a bag-of-words approach to this; basically comparing word frequencies. Writing across content types (fiction vs technical writing for example) will probably show different word frequencies, especially technical jargon, and so on. More sophisticated approaches are possible.

> Charging speed is now mostly limited by public charger speed and good enough.

Not sure where this is the case. Here, the 250kw chargers are plentiful, but cars average closer to 120kw because of the charge curve. We're still battery limited most of the time.
1. Interesting. I was kinda expecting to be grouped with other Russian speakers, and I am (based on some nicknames). Probably the frequencies of “the” and “a” are telling. But I swear to God that I sometimes spend some extra time trying to insert as much “the” and “a” in my texts as I could.

2. There is a Russian mnemonic verse, which can’t be properly translated to English, at least it’s beyond my humble capabilities. It goes:

“Это я знаю и помню прекрасно:

Пи многие знаки мне лишни, напрасны”

The number of letters in the words give you the pi number: 3,1415… The meaning is: “I know and remember perfectly: too many signs (positions) of pi are useless and impractical”. Sometimes it’s nice to remember both things.

Hmm. I can see there may be first amendment issue here and I realize the issue is state governments limiting who can receive state funds. However, the US federal government used withholding funds to force state governments to pass/amend certain laws. For example, congress would withhold highway funds from any state that did not raise the drinking age to at least 21 [0].

Obviously, this isn't exactly the same thing, but it is an example of a US government using the withholding of funding to achieve a policy goal.

Encapsulation – Where is the perimeter of a class type?
This D programming blog argues that C++ friend breaks encapsulation. I reject that argument, and say that C++ friend puts a door in the wall, and a guard at that door, and therefore encpasulation both remains, but is also extended (in the same way entangled particles are both encapsulated in themselves, but also in their encapsulated partner particle(s).

The article also argues that D's approach to allowing all code within a D module to be within the perimeter of any class type within that module, at all times, enhances encapsulation. I propose, that such an approach can only break encapsulation of a class type, and that it cannot possibly enhance it.

> And at this point was all still done by hand?

Sort of. From what I've gathered, at this point Intel was still doing the actual layout with rubylith, yes. But in small modular sections. The sheets were then digitized and stitched into the final whole in software; there wasn't literally a giant 8086 rubylith sheet pieced together by hand, unlike just a few years before with the 8080. But the logic and circuits etc. were on paper, and there was no computer model capable of going from that to layout. The computerized mask was little more than an digital image. So a hardware patch it would have to be, unless you want to redo a lot.

Soon, designers would start creating and editing such masks directly in CAD software. But those were just giant (for the time) images, really, with specialized editors. Significant software introspection and abstraction handling them came later. I don't think the modern approach of full synthesis from a specification, really came into use until the late 80s.

I found this post to be really on point.

There's a power dynamic to having more disposable income than others, especially within your peer group. This is more pronounced with tech workers (as pointed out in the post) as there's less of a monetary barrier to entry than other high paying fields, so a tech workers typical college friend group has a greater income disparity than a typical group of doctors or lawyers who tend to be more insular.

Saying that this post references a non-issue or is simply untrue is misunderstanding the situation and should make you think about the financial positions of individuals within your own friend group, as well as yours relative to them.
Taxes in the US are not hidden, so usually they aren't as high as in the UK. They are seldom higher than 10%, so still well under $400/kwh.
While it's not actually in customers hands, there are two things that make this story different from most:

* This isn't a research lab announcing, or even an R&D department. This is a large, respected battery manufacturer announcing an imminent mainstream product

* The date for being in customers hands is 2023. This isn't the usual "we just need to work out how to manufacture it and then maybe in 10 years". Next year means "we have this production process worked out and are ramping up as we speak".
Something I try to instill in juniors is to make and keep relationships up. Depending on your industry, it’s a very small world.

I recall interviewing someone who had just a terrible technical interview, but honestly seemed like a good fit. In the interview it came out he had worked for and with two people who I knew fairly well (and respected and trusted.) Two phone calls later, and based on their experiences with him, he was on to the next round.

Maybe attaching all the value to technical contributions was incorrect behaviour in first place?

I used to do that a lot until I got my first real not fully technical job and realised that all the technical stuff is actually much more learnable by many, much less impactful on the work than the dark art of working with humans. Maybe its the zeal of the convert but I think the technical contributions are not that important unless there is no margin for errors or its groundbreaking work and most of the time its not.

My entry to Scrivener was similar, except I came in from Pages. It was between Ulysses & Scrivener and, while I like Ulysses's look, I went with Scrivener and am glad I did.

It does have a few too many options, which makes it a bit daunting, but one could simply stick with the basics and it'd be great. The syncing is probably the worst aspect, but as I don't write on my iPhone/iPad, it wasn't ever really an issue.

The US and state governments are not private institutions. The money used to pay the contracts in question is collected from citizens who have to pay it. The government can't then turn around and gate that public money behind 1st amendment violating policy.
I think Vellum's whole value proposition is typesetting ebooks and other "rich" formats. I've never tried to sell my writing, so Pandoc with a bit of custom CSS has worked great for me, but if I ever feel the need to build a fancy ebook I'll be looking at Vellum first.

When I first got serious about writing fiction I used Vim (with Markdown), then switched to Scrivener, but I can not deal with the rich text crap anymore so I went to Obsidian for the best of both worlds, sort of. If Scrivener had a plaintext mode I'd probably still be using it.

WYSIWYG editing is a curse on mankind. Write first, then typeset.
> Folks who grew up in affluent households will venmo for the salsa.

This is a broad generalization that's actually the inverse of what I've seen, and I'm willing to bet I've interacted with an order of magnitude more "grew up affluent" types than the author, having grown up in one of the richest suburbs in the US.

Maybe it depends on the kind of wealth, but in my social circles (both growing up and now) anyone who did something like ask for a $6 Venmo would be laughed out of the room, and if they were serious people would Start Talking about them. That is Just Not Done, people pick up small tabs and (sometimes) split large ones and don't think about it at all, to do otherwise is considered extremely crass. Any fights over tabs are usually of the alpha male variety where paying the tab is a sign of dominance (and I've seen those fights get weird, with people ninja-settling in secret before the check shows up just so they can say "it's already taken care of" and then angry fights erupting afterwards because someone else had expected to pay).

Yes, there is a careless and/or arrogant disregard for money, but it does not usually come across as penny pinching and counting what other people owe you, it's more the type of thing where they'll casually assume everyone in the party would be thrilled to go to a $400/person restaurant for a celebration, not for a moment realizing how much of a stretch that is for the younger/less rich in the group and what a hard position it puts them in.

I think the word the author is looking for to pick out the kind of person who sends a Venmo request for a coffee is "asshole", not "grew up wealthy". I feel like they have some axe to grind here and have ended up severely overgeneralizing as a result...
This checklist is the normal sense check on battery announcements. Unless it fails on the last point, AFAIK it passes the test:

[ ] it is impractical to manufacture at scale.

[ ] it will be too expensive for users.

[ ] it suffers from too few recharge cycles.

[ ] it is incapable of delivering current at sufficient levels.

[ ] it lacks thermal stability at low or high temperatures.

[ ] it lacks the energy density to make it sufficiently portable.

[ ] it has too short of a lifetime.

[ ] its charge rate is too slow.

[ ] its materials are too toxic.

[ ] it is too likely to catch fire or explode.

[ ] it is too minimal of a step forward for anybody to care.

[ ] this was already done 20 years ago and didn't work then.

[ ] by this time it ships li-ion advances will match it.

[ ] your claims are lies.

I think Article I section 8 may also apply, specifically the Commerce clause:

A state prohibiting or requiring the purchase of goods from a particular foreign nation would seem to be encroaching on a Federal power. Especially if this bit gets interpreted as broadly as the next bit does (regulating commerce "among the several States").

Can you elaborate more on what was ignored?

For one, I think it's mind blowing that they didn't have a good system for dependency management in place from the get-go. Things are pretty good now with go modules but it's like they never even heard of languages like Python and the unholy mess that package management was (and still is to some extent) with Python.
It's not TCP based so you can't port scan it like SSH, and it will only respond on successful authentication, so a failed attempt is undistinguishable from it not being there.

It is also fairly easy to DoS SSH by having too many connections in the authentication state leaving no slots open, which SSHGuard is useful to counter.

Apart from that, SSH's intrinsic security is the same, but if you have password authentication enabled, you are only as strong as the weakest password.

Well the responses here are just a little bit more conviction that I'm on the right path with Rust.
Like:

- Compiles to a static binary that's relatively small compared to something like .NET AOT.

- Structural typing.

- No semicolons.

Dislike:

- Lack of exceptions. I can understand wanting to avoid exceptions for safety critical software like avionics, but for most application programming, requiring manual error handling for every function call is cumbersome and unnecessary.

- Too verbose / lacking features. For example, there's not a short syntax for lambda expressions, like the => operator in C# or JavaScript.

- Public / private access modifiers at the package level rather than the class level (there are no classes).

- Language development is driven primarily by Google, who has a history of killing products.

I can’t speak to Japan, but your account of Germany leaves out some major details.

Germany was allowed heavy industry after the war, but defaulted on its reparation payment in 1923. France and Belgium thought Germany was holding out on them, and decided to “confiscate” (by occupying with soldiers) German industry.

This was pretty agregious, but Germany responded by the government asking workers to passively resist, more or less triggering a general strike, with the government printing money to cover the wages of all the striking workers. Naturally, if only a few workers are still making things, but the government is paying everyone their salary, it should be no surprise that this triggered hyperinflation.

I don’t know what you mean about “the west” pushing its ideology on Germany when Germany itself is part of that intellectual and cultural group. In fact, the Weimar Republic was culturally quite rich, and relatively progressive compared to other western nations. Unless you’re talking about how the Nazis took inspiration from the segregation in the United States, but I don’t think the US was particularly interested in exporting it.
