> Are programmers expected to know finance law?

Working on fintech and transaction rails? Probably. I had to know regulations when I worked in fintech. Plus, you don't have to know the law to be found guilty of breaking it.

The engineers working on this are innocent until proven guilty, but you'd better believe all internal comms, meeting notes, and commit messages will be scrutinized.

Someone had to ask for the system to behave this way, and that will have produced certain artifacts.

Engineers with knowledge may be cut deals to testify against the bigger players.

A difference between governments and corporations are that you can walk away from a corporation for another one or none at all in the extreme case an alternative doesn’t exist.

You can’t walk away from government regulation because there is ultimately a gun at your back. Governments do not give up power once they’ve received it. Governments change hands who may wield that power differently than when it was imagined to be when first received.

People in European countries have had to learn this the hard way many, many times over and yet still don’t get why other cultures might take a different view on it.
Oh, thanks for that info. Yahoo had locked me out asking for 2nd factor when I hadn't supplied a 2nd factor. No response to any support requests.

I've always understood how a dictionary entry can have multiple meanings. You're the one who started off citing "the" dictionary definition.

Whereas my point since the start has been that the dictionary definition is barely relevant to good-faith communication, which tries to understand what the other person means and engage with that. Even if they're using the number 1 definition, and you'd rather use number 2.

Competition for competition’s sake isn’t always good. Netflix is by any standard I can think of a worse product than it used to be. It’s doubtful that the free games thing is sustainable long term; Epic is burning a ton of money to try and establish a toehold.
Currently on XFCE and still can't find a simple way to have two monitors with different scaling. Any pointers would be appreciated!
The GP said it would have "bought Reddit a lot of time," the post I responded to said it was merely 2^31 implying that it wouldn't have bought them a lot of time, that's the part I was replying to (though I didn't word it clearly). 2 billion more values would have bought Reddit a lot of time.

I should have taken more time to read over both posts and respond more clearly though
You are an auditor, you see legal and nefarious activity and apparently you don't report the nefarious activity? Because then it would probably stop.

Just the opposite from yo: everyone I know who lost weight permanently did so by changing their diet exclusively (no changes on exercise). In fact some of the sports guys gained some weight with sports (lifting, gained muscle)
I am a little confused by what you mean by columnar storage and "in fact, it doesn’t use indexes at all".

Does that mean every columns (lines) are auto-indexed? Can you use that strategy for storing things like users?
You are way overestimating the Feds.
About that free market - it might be free but lobbying culture in the US starts early, at school where Apple pushes products to influence future choices of students. Not choosing something which is used by everyone around is probably more difficult psychologically than standing up to the status quo and choosing alternatives whatever they are.

There are choices made for use - having a phone on which everyone around communicates, having an internet connection from the only provider in the area.

Uniformity is a choice if the alternative is a viable choice and this is a complex matter.
Ask HN: What companies offer part-time positions?
Gumroad somewhat notably is a company that has only part-time employees. There are some companies that do a 4 day work week, and some big companies like Google have policies where full-timers can ask to go down to 60% or 80% pro-rated, but you can't apply directly for those positions.

Are there other companies like Gumroad that offer part-time employment as a competitive hiring advantage and as a formalized program? Note I'm not asking for companies that have allowed it one-off for a key hire, or a company that hires contractors occasionally.
Is there actually a meaningful difference in how vulnerable these consumer computers are when acting as a server versus when not? Like, sure, being a server means that anyone who wants to send an exploit to them can - but realistically anyone who wants to send an exploit to them has dozens of vectors available already (SMS, pushed posts from dozens of social networks, website ads, ...)

How much of that can be attributed to it not having as much time to attract cruft? See Haskell, a very minimal and carefully designed language with a heap of complex and contrary extensions.
I think that might have been true a year ago but at the time of FTX’s collapse, most market participants were underwater, especially the laypeople. The amount of money in the crypto market is definitely not anywhere near the supposed market cap, but if we look at USDC’s 50bn we can say with reasonable confidence that there’s at least 50bn of USD in the crypto market. If FTX was 10% of the market then 5 billion seems very plausible as a lower bound for the amount of real money value on the exchange (before backing out paper gains). That’s 5bn after people have lost >50% in the last year.

There was something like 6bn withdrawn in the days before the collapse and if clawbacks could get most of it, we would at least see 0.40 on the dollar recovered… but I am very very skeptical about that happening, given FTX international was for people outside of US jurisdiction — not impossible to recover but much more difficult.

I hope you’re right that it turns out that there’s only, say, 2bn of real money missing, and most people can be made mostly whole… but given the bloodbath of the last year, I fear that there’s probably more real money gone now, rather than less. A lot of people would be absolutely gleeful if you could somehow rollback the last year of trades on FTX.
on most undeveloped land, you're not allowed to build. In CA, you can go to the exurbs and there will be a tiny plot of land with maybe a couple hundred houses scrunched together like some kind of nazi concentration camp for houses, fenced in like a chicken coup. Meanwhile, there's nothing but open land in every direction you look. it's totally disfunctional and yet voters seem to love it.
Wow, what CAN’T the covid vaccine do?
Finally a headline worthy of the biggest con man of the decade.
It's not Utopian, of course many things would be more difficult without the constant threat of force. But the question was "is democracy compatible with freedom", and by definition it is not. How much you value democracy (and the constant threat of force) vs freedom is up to you, but we can't pretend they work well together. And we're seeing democracies being destabilized around the world now, even in the US.
the problem with RSS is only one directional protocol also with no auth system. there's something like BlueSky's new ATP protocol that I think better to your case.
Bribe? It's just paying them. It's not like they have some duty not to take money or that its illegal.
i worked for a fintech startup in a similar space:

> Are programmers expected to know finance law?

in our case, we were. it was drilled in, and tested, reviewed, and audited. i’m not saying that something like this couldn’t have happened, but in my case anyone who would have been involved would definitely have known the legality.
I once negotatied something like 2x base rate for the duration of the non-compete period, and ended up accepting the offer. It was more than a decade ago, so the details are fuzzy now.

One of the nice features of this approach is there is a clear signal about whether the company intends to enforce the non-compete that does not require negotiation after parting ways. If they are not paying you, the expectation is that you have the ability to compete. From what I have seen, the uncertainty involved in non-competes (will it be enforced this time?) has a large part of the chilling effect.

Developers need to know the business better than the business people. Always. Otherwise you can't implement the software very well.
Thanks for creating this. I use hotkeys and hotstrings constantly, as well as much tab navigation, shortcut keys and acceleration keys as I can.

Still figuring it out, I better learn what vimium is first :)

TL:DR: Start the script, start explorer or notepad, press f, pick one of the available letters then spacebar. After that I don't know.
egrep has been on a deprecation path for 15 years, and the replacement is incredibly straightforward. Also, I think egrep will generally just continue to work.

I'm not sure what you mean by "recent", but this is more longevity than we get in the node/JS world.

I'm primarily a JS (now TS) dev, who also throws bash at things when it makes more sense, but let's not kid ourselves that it's the same.

> Many even inside the continent, do not accept the moral authority of the EU.

True, so much so that many, just outside of the continent, decided to leave the EU.

Insofar as they were in the EU though, they were bound by its laws.

This is no different from any other set of laws. Many in any country, state or other political organisation disagree with some law. They may choose to leave. They may choose to enact activism against said laws. They may not, without being subject to penalties, break said law.

Is it moral? Is it not? That's for societies to decide. If you're in the EU and you find the EU as a whole is not favourable to your country, you can start a campaign to leave. If, on the other hand, you just find that a specific law or another are wrong, you can write to your representatives, campaign to vote them out, etc.

Those are the (imperfect) workings of most democracies we know.

> Can you imagine Apple not operating in Europe?

I can. I don't think they will though. Why? Because even with the very few regulations that might reduce their ability to profit, it is still less profitable to leave the EU market. If eventually they find that not to be the case, they can lobby, campaign or leave.

It sure is. By the way, Movetodon seems to do a rather poor job on matching profiles - https://fedifinder.glitch.me/ shows me 130 accounts, while Movetodon only 91. Seems like it doesn't handle instances with different account and web domains at all.
I get input lag in Windows around 100-150 dwarves. It feels like the GUI not registering clicks, but since the GUI is a separate thread on top of DF it's possible that events are simply lost if a step of the simulation takes a long time. E.g. the selection box will keep running underneath the autosave window or complex world events (migrants, beasts, caravans, season changes), and I think I'd rather have that then random buffered events all playing at once, but certainly GUI integration could be improved a bit.
To my reading, these are release notes, not a blog post. Their job is only to describe what changed in this release. Calling an improvement an improvement seems pretty straightforward to me.

Hmmm interesting but mostly for the point that someone at NBN co has looked at this issue and not arrived at why big downloaders might be paying for slower speed plans.

I used to talk frequently to the Telstra techies who used to come out and fix landline issues, but I haven't done so in recent years when for whatever reason NBN Co techs were also being shunted into regular telstra line issues ... every time we had to deal with them my way, often completely clueless, scratch the job as being done but phone lines still down - they were contracted apparently and the deal laid out for them, well it was NBN Co II.

The problem I see is there was NBN Co I the original with an aim to do what it was supposed to do, lay fibre where they could, and do away with the ... well words really can't adequately imply how stuffed the copper is in my parts, but in the last decade or two the Telstra techies had worked miracles. Then arrived NBN Co II which was heh for a better word, a foolish endeavour to pretend some of the copper was still good for it, as it would save money, be cheaper over all, and ... changes meant that the new NBN Co techs were told to use "butterfly connectors" which the previous Telsta techs had finally convinced the top level the connectors weren't up to the task, even the best effort usually resulted in corrosion and noise in a matter of two or three years (according to the Telstra tech telling me on the quiet) who also went onto say another large regions where people had been paying for a cheap asdl+ suddenly had a more expensive NBN connection not much better than dial up. I would say that recent changes at NBN Co during the last year, I should probably refer to it as NBN Co III.

Of course speed is a pressing issue, it costs more for the company providing it. If the connection turns out to be a bit of a dud, then a customer, after complaining and getting nothing, is inclined to use other services which allows downloading at a slower rate. Since they're paying more in total, some are motivated to get their money's worth.

I think what NBN Co will soon find, once they introduce the change, those who've put up, will demand the bandwidth they're supposed to get ... it'll cost NBN Co more in the end if they can't find some new way to redefine the connection plan.

> We’ve gotten tot he point where we’ve gone way too far off the deep end when it comes to this narrative around political influence. the collective imagination seems to have risen to comic book level proportions.

What's particularly stupid is most of the time that people are going off about how some company or person gave a bunch of money and that is obviously why Congress passed the bill that company or person supported, the companies or people that opposed the bill also gave a ton of money to the same members of Congress that the first company or person did.

Also, often those companies on both sides of the bill donated a lot to the members of Congress that supported the bill and those that opposed the bill.

This works for lower energy particles (like protons from the sun), but for heavy ions partial shielding makes the problem worse than not having shielding at all, the small number that hit the metal instead of passing through create a shower of damaging secondary radiation.

Effectively shielding people from cosmic rays requires either a thick atmosphere, a couple meters of soil, or really thick slabs of metal. The best solution on Mars might be to build a shelter inside a cave or lava tube, but then you run up afoul of international treaty obligations to not contaminate these sensitive environments.

The short answer to your question is "yes, but the foil has to be three feet thick."
One of the comments:

I'm not sure this sentence make any sense. The same could be said about slavery. Is slavery not necessarily bad because it's the way it's always been?
There's also progress in gene-editing cancer treatments, China throwing in the towel on their "COVID 1984" plan, a LOT of progress the last few years on space commercialization, serious conversations about how we're generating our energy..

It's pretty wild. My whole life from the 80s up until the late 2010s was under this dark cloud. The wild optimism of the mid-1900s was gone, and more and more it felt like we were settling into this grim expectation that Humanity was going to slowly die off. Then over the course of just a few years things completely changed
> comprehensive public transit

Need to mandate WFH. One way is to tax companies for every employee that is required onsite proportional to the average commute distance of the city that the worksite is located. This will reduce travel substantially and undercut support for building more roads (since peak traffic will drop).

Until businesses relocate away from large, legacy central locations downtown to distributed locations closer to consumers, we can fund means-tested subsidies for grocery deliveries, etc. If you don't need to move people around, there is no need for a sclerotic, politicized, centralized solution that exists just to move people around!

Industrial manufacturers add tons to improve the taste like honey, licorice, probably stuff to negate the bad smell, like menthol.

I'm convinced this contributes to the primary pathway because it's a primary instinct and this thought allows for a better comparison to alcohol - drink, dehydrate, drink more, repeat ad nauseam.
Yes, RSS is terrible, use Atom. They do the same job, most tools support both, and one of them was thoughtfully designed.
I mostly agree that it should be illegal but unless it's outlawed all over the world it will continue to thrive. It's too late to outlaw it. Now, the best we can do is regulate it and bring stability to it. It could be a very good alternative for countries where currency stability has always been a problem such as Argentina. It wouldn't replace the currency there but it would give people there a choice.
People should not be drinking and driving is a reasonable statement with overwhelming support for many years.

“People should not be driving” is not a statement that I - or most normies - will ever get behind. Some of us don’t like the bus, the bicycle, or walking. I get it, some of you have a pamphlet to give us about the benefits of these things. We’re not interested. We like the vroom vroom.

This is not quite correct. LLNL is a Federally Funded Research & Development Center (FFRDC) which is owned, as a facility, by the government, but managed and staffed by a non-profit contracting organization called Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLC (LLNS) under a contract funded by DOE/NNSA. The board of LLNS is made up of representatives from universities (California + TAMU), other scientific non-profits (Battelle Memorial Institute), and private nuclear ventures (e.g. Bechtel.) LLNS pays, with very few exceptions, staff salaries at LLNL, and they are not beholden to the government civilian pay schedule.

There's a great StackExchange answer on this. Basically, both the terrain and weather are bad:

"Sites of areologic interest are far apart, its seasonally induced micro-climate conditions are rough and pronounced due to somewhat larger surface atmospheric pressure, winds are stronger, dust storms longer lasting, it experiences higher seasonal and diurnal surface temperature variations, shorter days and exposure to sunlight during Southern hemisphere winters, and as a deep impact basin, terrain is fairly rugged, inclined, and often covered with deep pockets of sand.”

Balloon framing has a specific legally binding definition as described in building codes.

In the building codes it is a method of light wood framing (not the other way round).

It can also be a method of light metal framing…in practice this is probably more common in the wild (in the US), because long light metal studs are straight and lightweight and hence more “wieldy.”

The issue here is it is sort of like taking a technical blog post involving say details of the Haskell types vs Typescript types for a specific problem and explaining it to someone who doesn't know programming.

There's a bunch of context you kind of need for it to make sense.

I'm not convinced that each technical blog post should provide that context every time.
