> Thanks to @dang for getting a Stripe employee to respond and he was finally able to resolve the issue for me.

I think it's time to add another HN tab called Complaints where we can post complaints for the common culprits like Google, Stripe, Pinboard, etc. It sounds backwards but the amount of people HN has helped over years it must add to millions of dollars to priceless things like getting back your email and photos.

Big kudos to dang and HN for standing up for the average person and being this helpful!
Transcriptional reprogramming of monocyte function to pro-thrombotic in Covid-19
And the alternative is??

I'm not suggesting there are no alternatives to Stripe, but I am suggesting I'd be doubtful to think that there are other companies that don't also have painful customer service snafus.
vscode, the main competition to this I assume, is very fast to me. would be curious to know how they compare
I disagree that build your own YouTube is a “high” bar, outside of money.

There are and were multitudes of video hosting and serving websites. It is just ridiculously expensive.

Castles, mercenary armies, and conquering land are comparable much, much more difficult.
If you use it, does that make you a 10x engineer?

>It should be structured, tested, malleable, navigable and understandable.

People have different thresholds for when their code reaches these states though, especially "understandable".

You can meaningfully define these (and test for them) on a small scale, in a team, but talking about all developers everywhere, these are all very loosely defined.
> Feminists spend much more time lying about men's issues

Not sure if there’s a name for this fallacy but you see it all the time: attributing the opinions/actions of an extreme minority to a whole group. No denying there are some feminists about there spending all their time lying about men’s issues but feminists as a whole don’t.

Same applies almost every time someone says “leftists”, “the right wing” etc etc etc

> It doesn't seem like nearly enough money to convince someone to leave their home and job.

It's gotta be intended to push people who are on the fence over to the "move" side, not to get people who've not been considering it to decide to move.
> "hey, we have too many meetings, let's do a reset and think carefully about which ones we really need...

it's automatically assumed/implied that this is an attempt of cost saving / reshift in priority. They'd rather have staff focusing on delivering products (code/completed projects) that will increase revenue.

I wonder what they are struggling to ship (or if you can make the assumption that, the only time you'd cut meetings is when you want to prioritize shipping and the fact that you need to cut meetings means you're struggling to ship based on XYZ standards/opinions (CEO thinks things could get done/out the door faster/quicker?))

I wonder what's on their internal roadmap that's exciting + going to "sizably" make a difference/grow the company/that they are "itching to ship".

Yeah, I think this is one of the very few places where splitting out something as a microservice makes sense. For example, you (mostly) never want to open/process/examine/glance at user-provided PDFs on a box with any sort of unfiltered network access. Ideally you do what you need to do within a sandbox that has _no_ network access, but that's really hard to do performantly.

The primary reason for this is that PDFs can contain executable code and the common tools used to process them are full of unpatched CVEs.
Now you can have a cot in your office and no toilet paper in the bathroom. Much better.
Mislabeled? sounds like you're SEEKING WORK, SEEKING FREELANCER is for the other side.
I wrote the original wikipedia article for this! I haven't read the book just thought it was notable.

It was a little tough getting past the editors (the section referencing all those news articles they made me put in to reach notability). I also got called a shill for the publisher.

some rust code that compiles to WASM loads LLM from memory, and uses custom transformer.py like rust alternative we wrote.
I think what is missing here is that it doesn't have to be an either-or at the organizational level.

If you have a particular piece of the system that needs to be scaled, you can take that module out when it becomes necessary. You can alter your system such that you deploy the entire codebase but certain APIs are routed to certain boxes, and you can use batch processing patterns with a set of code outside the codebase.

You can have an admin application and a user application, and both of them are monoliths. They may or may not communication using the database or events or APIs.

However, you don't make this on the single bounded context guideline.
Organizing code and services so that a rotating crew of thousands of engineers can be productive is critical to companies like Amazon and Google and Netflix. Inlining code is a micro-optimization on top of a micro-optimization (that is, choosing to [re]write a service in C/C++), not an architectural decision.
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here.

Nuclear is an ideal base load provider because nuclear plants really like to run 100% of the time, only shutting down for refueling or maintenance. Which is exactly what you want to meet a demand that exists 100% of the time.

If you have enough generation, nuclear is an ideal base load provider.
Also, "A couple of short, sharp years at 90% and all of it invested into major, physical public infrastructure projects to create jobs and filter the money down."

I'll go out on a limb & guess you weren't in the UK in the 1970s...
Thanks, but that's not really relevant.
The effort you refer to is called Rhombus, it is not a rewriting of any part of Racket, which continues to be developed and supported.

I'm not a fan of the new project, since it means the core team is less focused on Racket than they otherwise would be. But, it's their life.
Sadly, this has been a thing for a while. As a T-Mobile customer, at one point, it eventually took me to put a request via Twitter to get the matter resolved in 20 minutes as opposed to previously spending hours on the phone with tech support ( with no results to show for it ). It is, quite frankly, infuriating; especially for a telecom.

edit: I genuinely do not get why it took Twitter referral in my case either ( it was a technical matter of moving one phone number from carrier to another, but do they have their 'A team' for social media only?). Well, did. No idea what Twitter looks like now.
>in theory I'd like and participate in the "men's rights" subreddit, in reality it's a pit of toxicity.

Indeed, but so is the equivalent feminism subreddit (try "r/askafeminist" for example). And yet "women's rights" don't have the same stigma as "men's rights". What explains this asymmetry? Why is it some movements get defined by their extremists, and others don't?

>: a lot of this societal pressure against men being accepted as stay at home parents comes from men.

Really? Maybe its the company I keep, but I've never felt judged by other men when I share I love caring for my kids. If anything, I get a lot of smiles and nods irl and supportive comments online. If someone like Andrew Tate gave me shade about it, I'd take it as a reason to pity him. It takes a special kind of asshole to throw shade on a father who loves his kids, and who's kids love him.
This one?

After observing Seiko 5 SNK809 for 35 days, I can say I´m happy with accuracy.

Overall, it has lost 25 seconds during this time.
It lost most of it when it was sitting on table 2 times during observation. When kept on wrist, it hardly lost any...
As someone who works at a place that previously lived by:

>It's okay to not organize your code. It's okay to have files with 10,000 lines. It's okay not to put "business logic" in a special place. It's okay to make merge conflicts.

I absolutely disagree. It's "okay" if you're struggling to survive as a business and worrying about the future 5+ years out is pointless since you don't even know if you'll make it the next 6 months. This mentality of there being no need for discipline or craftsmanship leads to an unmanageable codebase that nobody knows how to maintain, everybody is afraid to touch, and which can never be upgraded.

You don't see the overhead of throwing discipline out the window because it's all being accrued as technical debt that you only encounter years down the road.
Emotionally speaking (and assuming $400k is a significantly higher sales target than normal), what was it like to see the business success before you realized there was a lock on your accounts? What was it like after realizing the locks?
It costs about 200$ to get my house cleaned so it seems like a pretty standard cost especially for a larger place.
That was a waste of many people's time. I feel a bit sorry for the customer support reps who just spun their wheels in the mud and couldn't come up with a resolution. It's clearly a broken system they're working within. (And it goes without saying that I feel very sorry for the customers on the receiving end of this stonewalling.)
I mean this would be a good thing for Canada and Australia. I wonder with increased demand could they scale up and to be the main, ethical, sources.
The consumer doesn't care though how the computers operate internally, so using the normal SI definitions is the expectation, instead of redefining it just so you get some nice round numbers.

>I would feel bad for people who lost money in crypto if every time I tried to warn them during the bubble they wouldn't have said 'have fun staying poor'

Not everyone that lost money did this to you though, seems unfair to judge most people who are just trying to get by because of a few assholes on the internet
> I'd also add: a lot of this societal pressure against men being accepted as stay at home parents comes from men.

Maybe men are just more vocal about their opinions regarding stay-at-home dads? Women may not exert "societal pressure" against stay-at-home men, but they're ~30% more likely to divorce them than working men (a 3.3% chance of divorce in a given year vs. 2.5%)[0].

> For marriages formed after 1975, husbands’ lack of full-time employment is associated with higher risk of divorce, but neither wives’ full-time employment nor wives’ share of household labor is associated with divorce risk. Expectations of wives’ homemaking may have eroded, but the husband breadwinner norm persists.

I'm a regular user of mushrooms, have been for a bit, and live in Oregon. Mushrooms are already decriminalized here and have been for some time, same with places in California.

For those that haven't done mushrooms, there's different types of mushrooms. They all have different effects, some stronger than others. Tripsafe.org has some really good information on mushrooms and LSD with respect to the experiences users can expect to encounter.

My personal use of mushrooms, which isn't always medicinal doses, has been productive. Mostly, I have fun, do things I already love doing, and can be a bit more social. Mushrooms end with an "afterglow" that is a bit like being on an antidepressant for a while, but this depends per strain in my experience.

They're definitely good for addressing trauma and I'd agree with the neuroplasticity claims. I won't claim they've "changed my life" mainly because hallucinogens will only change what you really seek and work to change. In my personal opinion they just kind of grease the wheels for change.
I don't want to finance their project managers shipping new "social" features and useless functionality that I am not paying them for.
Just to agree and expand, the reason the article is wrong is because a blog and Twitter are very different things.

My speculation:
Most of the people that are using Twitter aren't post a lot, nor are they posting anything a lot of "quality". Most is low signal, such as agreement. That does not make for an interesting blog. They are posting on Twitter because they have people saying things they like and in turn liking their support. Part of the reason people are having trouble with Mastodon is they do not have as wide a reach, so less fulfillment.

Take this blog for example, this one post is about 1/4 interesting information and 3/4 anti Twitter/Musk. I am glad that he made it, always great to share how to build and use tools!

I doubt that they will continue the blog though, their second post is them saying they are too lazy to write something quality and Lorem ipsum.

Most people want low effort engagement and most people do not consistently generate quality content. That is why Twitter gained and blogs lost.
There are harmful and dangerous drugs. But the harm caused by the moral panic over psychedelics, and the expansive, unselective Drug War has caused far more damage. We now have a legacy of militarized policing, military-style raids on homes, and widespread neonazi ideologies and brownshirt gangs in police departments. We have privatized prisons. Predictably, that led to corruption in prosecutors and judges to fill those prisons.

Predictably, too, police culture is one of violence: High rates of domestic violence among police is one of the pillars of the kind of cultural rot exemplified and spread by Andrew Tate. The real problems are not that we lack a "culture of family and community" but that, based partly on the Drug War and partly on white Christian nationalism, we have a culture of brutality.
All the vrbos we have been at were professionally cleaned. Maybe the low end is more scammy
>FTX, on the other hand, was just plain old fraud, not really related to crypto itself.

The fact that it's not related should tell you something. Cryptocurrency is designed to solve exactly the problems FTX had. It is designed to enable trustless finance. Why didn't cryptocurrency prevent that problem?

Because FTX wasn't using cryptocurrency, because cryptocurrency is unworkable.
I mean, the historical solution to this type of stuff is just hardline regulation right? There isn't a general solution against bad decision making. Your toddler will drink that liquid under the sink -> you put that liquid in a really high place and now everybody will complain and have to find that stepladder every time they want to clean the drains.

The best non-regulatory fix I can think of would be socially enforcing that people stop profitting from convincing others into doing bad decision making.

It's not very easy though, since fraudsters only need to convince people once to make off with their profits, unlike a tradesman or manufacturer who needs to stay in business long-term.
I think at this point speed is a great differentiator.

I've been happy with the featureset and design of all C++ IDEs I've tried for a decade or so now, but they never seem to get any faster. An IDE designed specifically for speed, with an ongoing committment to keep it fast, solves the biggest issue I have with C++ coding right now.
Blank cassette tape types and how to choose the right one
What I'm concerned about is that states which are currently skimping on funds for public defenders will just declare some chat system "good enough" as an excuse to get rid of the remaining funding for human defenders.

It will also virtually ensure that the only work conducted on the behalf of the defendant is based on the written record available to the court. Not a single phone call will be made. If the defendant's physical appearance does not match witness descriptions, the system is unlikely to notice. If the crime site does not match the police statement, the system will never know.
None of those are really substitutes for YouTube. But I agree that if someone has stumbled into a somewhat sustainable business that they decide they want to do full-time as long as they can, they should diversify both their content and their channels.
I want these much less than I want the ability to run the software without the danger of a developer disabling access on a whim. Happened too many times already, including to me personally. A standard example: games.
I think "Men Without Work" is a euphemism.

The problem is:

- Men without Skills in-demand-- skills which are at least somewhat fulfilling & interesting to those men.

Solution: Research labor data for careers in high demand, then cross reference those careers with skills a person is interested in. Then identify resources & a roadmap for learning those skills. And sit down, and put the time in to learn & apply those skills at a novice to intermediate level.

- Men who refuse to work. Part of why they refuse to work is that they might not recognize the solution above: to build skills relevant to a career they consider meaningful. This may also be due to a lack of monetary resources to live somewhat comfortably while building those skills (That said, I lived in a tent for months while teaching myself web development). Or they are overburdened by obligations and decided to give up and check out of society (i.e. turn towards homelessness and/or drugs)

Caveat: I know some folks who call themselves "poor folks". The reality is that their problem isn't that they're poor. Their problem is that they refuse to put together a well formatted resume, apply to jobs, and accept that they may have to start at the bottom of the career ladder. (And/or build new skills)

The concept of "Work" is but one link on a dependency chain:

Study -> Skills -> Productivity -> Work -> Career -> Build resources
> I write a lot of Python code and don’t really run into Python 2 vs 3 issues anymore.

I think you are missing the key point here: I don't write a ton of Python. I don't write any Python. Of course you think this is old news. You write a lot of Python. You're totally plugged in. You've known this is coming, this inside baseball is "the thing" for you. My point is that, believe it or not, the rest of the world does not keep up to date with whatever the Python community is doing. This is not unique to Python. Most people in dev community X are not aware of what is happening in dev community Y. What is unique to Python is that all of a sudden we were forced to become aware as the downstream apps began to break. By creating a backwards compatibility issue in an interpreted language, you necessarily "backload" the end-user pain to when the apps, which by definition are updated later than the code within the apps, begin to break as packages are removed from package managers, or things are EOL'ed, etc. This is a situation that I can honestly not remember happening with any other language. I can't remember any other circumstance, and certainly not one where it proceeded to happen repeatedly, where I've been abruptly made aware that utilityX was written in a no-longer-supported version of C/perl/whatever (when I previously didn't even know what language it was), after I had been running it for ages.
It's because nobody complained when software moved toward subscription models.
I'm one of those people who almost always wants to immediately get on a call to solve a problem rather than typing it out. I get that it's tiring being on calls all the time but it's also much more effective to have a call for most types of work conversations, even as a software dev.

Here's the way I look at it.

If you are asking me a question where my reply isn't time sensitive, and it doesn't need to turn into a conversation about my answer, that doesn't need to be a call.

If you just want a status update on XYZ from me, which may be a short conversation, that probably does not need to be a call.

If you want my help with just about anything code related, that's a call. Screensharing is way easier for me to see what you are talking about, and it's much easier for us to be on the same page if we're both looking at the same thing.

It's also a massive peeve of mine when someone asks a question on messaging, refuses to have a call, and then proceeds to take forever getting back to me. It's one thing it I say something like "Try this, this, and this. Let me know what works" and then I can get back to my work.

But if I'm trying to step you through something and you sometimes reply immediately, sometimes in 5 minutes, sometimes in a half hour, then you get to have calls whenever you want my help from then on
Ah. Thanks for the clarification and apologies for my own misinterpretation.

EDIT: FWIW I think in this case the origin is just "opposite of 'defensive'" as in "offense & defense" in sports..red & blue teams, etc.
Maybe much louder and maybe much bigger. Mac Pro's aren't exactly small either.

You can build/get quiet PCs too. Theres a whole PC accessory company called be quiet! even. And there's some very nice IMO cases that look better than the Mac Studio or Pro...
a lot of this, at least in the united states, is due to a deep-seated dichotomy of heteronormative gender roles in suburban life. new mums groups have learned to be welcoming, but not inclusive to newcomers and that may largely be due to puritanical influences present in a lot of the cultures that oversee these groups. one could go so far as to say such patronisation and strict gender conformity serve to ostracize and secure the old-guard from ever encroaching threat of feminism or change.

As a diesel mechanic in the midwest, I can say the decline in men that have work could be a couple of factors. First, we decided 30 years ago everyone had to go to college, and in doing so found most degrees hardly worth the paper they were printed on while landed gentry reaped the windfall of college loan income. conversely tradecraft like welding, carpentry, HVAC, engine repair, and plumbing fell by the wayside with many of these crafts given a scarlet letter and left to beg and plead for any help whatsoever. there is still plenty of work, its just been made obscure and wicked by a hand that cant reap any lending profit from it.

second, militant drug testing and background checks have created an artificial scarcity. Do i need a sober person to run a drill press? certainly, but if that person spent a little time in jail for cannabis possession i dont care. Viewing potential employees as potential liabilities has in turn created a culture of calvinist jackboots that only hire the most visibly noble --if not technically bereft-- to fill their ranks.
It is thrilling, indeed. But there's so much light and environmental pollution where I am at the moment, that the night sky remains just a hazy blur.
The best thing to do is to create a national git service and make copies of the important git repos, to avoid this problem.
I heard for weeks from German apologists about how the Polish suggestion to send the Patriots Germany offered to Ukraine instead was just a publicity stunt because such an action would require US approval which would never happen. Then America pledged to send them outright to Ukraine. Whoops!
