Don't forget that there is no such thing as a free lunch, though. Credit card companies aren't charities!

In general all those perks are paid for by rather significant credit card processing fees, which you pay for yourself via increased product prices. Furthermore, their goal is to normalize the use of credit cards, in the hope that you'll eventually stumble and get screwed over by the interest fees.

Also, I think you are forgetting that Gen Z are literally kids. If they have a job at all, it'll be a parttime one with a very flexible contract. Without stable income, a credit card can easily become an unacceptable risk.

There is a middle ground between "retain the history of every typo anyone ever made" and "squash a month's worth of work into a single commit". Without having to learn a huge amount you can rebase your private branch now and again to squash all those typos and "fix the tests" commits into a single coherent commit describing the step towards the feature you're working on.

What I'd really love in that context is for Github's PR interface to surface individual commits better. I want to be able to step through each commit, reviewing the incremental changes towards a fully working feature, rather than have to review the entire thing as one big blob.
Would they be a hero or a villain?

If the action would make them a hero, are there reasons they shouldn't do it anyway?

Common reply to the latter is that people may be misguided in what constitutes a heroic selfless action and shouldn't take matters into their own hands. This philosophical debate is as old as time itself.

LinkedIn articles have gone up several sizes - thought it was my settings but no, it's definitely upsizing
Fair enough, my apologies, I did skim the video and read the page but didn't watch the video in full so I missed that part.

I still feel like you're failing to engage with the issue here:

* NREL, just like the UK grid operator, is worried about curtailment and is taking active steps to limit it, the only difference is that while some uninformed schmucks think that any curtailment is bad, grid operators think a little curtailment is to be expected and they just want to keep it within bounds with an awareness of the opportunity costs that you mention -- sometimes it may be cheaper to just build new capacity and not worry about it at all, sometimes not. See for example this 2014 report: https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy14osti/60983.pdf They're saying: "relax, a little curtailment is nothing to worry about, let us do the worrying", they're not saying it's a non-issue. If it's not an issue, why are new interconnections being built at all? Why is locational pricing being considered at all?

* unless renewables are already 100% of the energy mix at a given point in time then any kind of curtailment has to logically be due to either congestion or some other technical limitation (a hiccup in planning/projection or inflexibility of other generators) and strictly speaking cannot be due to overproduction; that said, the original article describes a situation where transmission capacity is not just insufficient for peak production (even if it could have been used) but may slowly get to the point where it's insufficient for average production... both are technically "congestion" but do you really not see the difference?
Interesting and informative. Thank you!
Is it true that Wikipedia doesn't allow its users to remove all their data including their data removal request message to Wikipedia?
I wonder if anyone has researched whether it's actually good to remember everyday things. I can watch a movie or read a novel, enjoy the experience, and the next day not really remember much about it. Often I'll get half-way through a movie and start to get a sense of deja-vu. Of course I've seen it before, but can get an hour in before I realize. I still enjoy it though.

Now, is this actually bad? I have no problem remembering what I actually need to remember to do novel research or to cope with the complexity of large programs. So it's not that I can't remember, but that I don't make any effort for things that don't matter. My feeling as I get old, is that it gets a little harder to learn new stuff because my head is already pretty full, but it's not too bad. But would it be worse if I actually remembered all those books and movies?
It's SUN/Java all over again.

Successful programming languages tend to be bad for business: they generate support costs but little or no measurable income.

The only way to make them profitable is to use them as a lock-in tool for your platform (VB, .Net, SQL dialects...), but Mozilla never had anything to lock people in.
They only installed the activity tracking after she was behind, and I'm guessing they were suspicious about how much time she was working.

She agreed to having monitoring software installed. That software demonstrated that she was not doing work, but was billing for that work.

The alternative was presumably just firing her immediately, and not letting her demonstrate she was doing the work.

Despite knowing she had this monitoring software installed, she continued to not work, she continued to lie about doing work, and the company fired her - at best she wasn't getting the work done, at worst she was committing fraud.

This legal ruling was the result of her then suing them for unfair dismissal. If she had just accepted that she was fired for not doing her job this wouldn't have happened. Instead she claimed unfair dismissal for a process that any reasonable person would understand had been thoroughly documented. The company showed up to her lawsuit, with the evidence of how they came to fire her, and the additional evidence of fraud, leading to this outcome.
>They don't have the scale to sway large parts of the public opinion

According to some infographic in a thread on HN yesterday, reddit is currently the most viewed site in the US, Australia and a few other countries, so it seems like it could have a sway on large parts of public opinion

I use this in one project but its bundle size is very large for what it does. I think Preact is usually a nicer option (and no, it doesn't require build tools and NPM if your IDE of choice is notepad) with a React compatible API.

It's 3KB. Even less if you opt to not have any React compatibility at all.

Alpine is 13KB.

okay? you've pivoted from "not understanding" vim to having an anti-vim boner. other people in the same environement achieved as much or more than me with different tools. and those different tools didn't work for me. that's all that's going on here.

(sshfs is not a direct substitute for being able to quickly interact with a remote environment)

> having some custom scripts that read ctags and could tab-complete keywords from our large codebase

for clarity i meant that I had a completion in the terminal when not in the editor to quickly jump to a tag in a file. `vim -t <keyword>`. i could be in a terminal, execute a remote command on a machine, know what I wanted to look at next and quickly go there without much effort. And again, other people were productive without doing this. these were just my tools and i liked them.
Fair, I was going based on hearsay/docs. It looks like LiveView has been trying to accommodate the issue with some work arounds such as: https://github.com/phoenixframework/phoenix_live_view/issues...

For anyone not understanding why (neo)vim exists, or why some developers prefer it to IDEs, I suggest watching "PDE: A different take on editing code" [1]. It reframes (neo)vim as a "Personalized Development Environment".

I've been using (neo)vim for years, and don't want to use anything else. It isn't just about productivity (I would probably be as productive in an IDE). It's because its _mine_. It's a highly customized environment, catered to my needs.

In general all those perks are paid for by rather significant credit card processing fees, which you pay for yourself via increased product prices.

The price is the same whether you pay via BNPL or credit card.

I get that merchants get charged by credit card companies. I also know that I'm not going to make a difference by boycotting credit card companies. I'd just lose out.

Also, BNPL companies charge merchants the same way credit card companies do.
Ask HN: “coaching” businesses – patterns and perception
During the last year I stumbled upon a lot of coaching offers. Their video ads are somewhat similar to the ones that sold online courses a while ago but now you hop on a “strategy” call.

Out of curiosity, I did, in a broad range of niches (probably the most popular ones are relationship advice, fitness, and make money online).

All of them, with no exception
- delegated the strategy call to someone else, most of the time in other parts of the world
- had very good and clear language
- tried hard to repeat certain keywords that I mentioned in describing my fictional situation
- asked very specifically about how much money I have to “invest in myself”
- left me with a follow up call and asked to write down 3 questions to prepare for that call

All in all, they were really good in rapport building, and very interesting in terms of psychological tricks to close a deal.

But they were literally the same. Just different topics. It looks like they all aligned their strategy according to the same source.

I personally think that they are all trying to squeeze good money out of very desperate people. But this trend will stop when it becomes too crowded and people realize that it’s just the same with some psychological sugar coating. What’s your take on that?

I think some of the elements all of these coaches uses during their calls can be applied to serious sales conversations. What is the same source that they all rely on?

If you're controlling a quadcopter, one limiting factor is how fast the rotors can accelerate/decelerate.

That is, the derivative of rotor thrust.

That is, the derivative of angular acceleration of the vehicle.

That is, the third derivative of the angle of the vehicle.

That is, the third derivative of the horizontal thrust of the vehicle.

That is, the third derivative of the horizontal acceleration of the vehicle.

That is, the 5th derivative of position.
While it's quite possible to build an app that way, using scraping. The danger is that users of that app will get suspended from Twitter (users have explicitly agreed not to scrape), once thats happened to a couple of users, thats the end of your app.

Obviously you can try to obscure that you are scraping, but that is difficult to get right and there is no way back once you get it wrong.
> I do TS for years now and still today I'm spending more time on fighting/pleasing TS compared to the actual code.

Admittedly, this mirrors my own experience, at least in some cases, which I shall not deny.

Was called in to help with this one particular TypeScript codebase that used React a while back, it was a mess. I suspect that some of the chosen abstractions were overengineered and overcomplicated (and perhaps underdocumented), but at the same time TypeScript made things more finicky and as a result the development velocity tended to be on the lower side of things, when compared to similar projects with JS. This was especially noticeable when new developers needed to be onboarded, though at the very least refactoring could be done with more confidence. Essentially they were not dealing with just sub-optimal code structure/architecture, not just the ever increasing complexity of React, but also how it all integrated with TypeScript on top of that.

It's a bit of a double edged sword, because when done right, TypeScript is objectively better than JS in at least some regards (refactoring for one, the type system obviously but also how well IDEs can figure out autocomplete because of it, or highlight issues that would otherwise manifest at runtime only with JS), however there is also potential for things to get much worse than your typical JS codebase, when done wrong.

This might be a silly comparison, but I'll compare it to something like PHP: when used correctly, you'll get something that lets you iterate pretty fast and just ship stuff, whereas if you go about it the wrong way you'll probably have a badly developed unreadable mess that's full of bugs or security issues, for a variety of reasons. In my experience, TypeScript codebases range from very good to very bad, whereas JS tends to be more mediocre in general, at least in regards to complexity and iteration speed. In regards to maintenance, TypeScript will win in most cases.

Use TypeScript responsibly and you'll have a decent time. Give it to someone who wants to be clever about things and you'll have lots of accidental complexity to deal with, more so than with the alternatives. Then again, personally I think that Angular did TS better than React or Vue, so this might be a niche view in of itself.
> especially when you're 20 function calls down a stack trying to understand what's happening.

Yeah I hate code like that too, but it's not clear to me how type checking would help.
Everyone (including the authors of the Type Annotations proposal) seem to be on the same page that static typing - "including TypeScript in a browser" - is not desirable and will not happen.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Type Annotations proposal is not actually static typing, but just a 'fancy comments' for the JS interpreter to completely ignore.

> Lisa was a HUGE flop.

Some people are trying to make this all about money, but that's missing the point. I already acknowledged that Cook is great at making money. But he's not a "product person". The Lisa was an incredible, groundbreaking achievement despite not being financially successful. It was innovative, and laid the groundwork for Macintosh.

> Jobs stole Mac project, but not the way you think :) he stole it from Jef Raskin

For the better.

"Jef Raskin, who had fought against the application of a mouse and instead preferred a pen or a joystick." "Raskin did not particularly support the innovations the Lisa team had picked up in the Xerox PARC"

I'm not sure it's a Gen Z thing - credit cards were always subsidised by those who "lack the discipline". If everyone paid on time all the time they wouldn't give anyone an interest-free period.

Boeing 737 Max Flies Again with Chinese Airline After Nearly Four-Year Halt
Yeah - I was quoting the velocity definition given by an article pointed to by TFA. But I mostly agree with you, especially about the identification of business value. My point was that it’s better to have a value that can be measured by the participants (ie, productivity), than one that can’t (business value).

That said, while I am no fan of “agile as popularly understood”, my experience suggests you have the causality backward. Agile is simply a term forced on traditional project managers to make the business sound cool. Nothing is different from the way it was before agile, except the meetings have cool names.

In an environment that takes the agile manifesto seriously, working hand in glove with the business is kinda the point. But most businesses haven’t even heard of the manifesto, and those that have … don’t care.

There are many other issues as well.

Modenr Governments have many levels, and how your voting power plays out on various levels is hugely complicated and matters.

Geography is clearly still important. Voting with all other butchers of the nations about what kind of public transport system should exists is of course dumb.

But in some sense, by extension voting geographically for a person in your district to discuss if going to war with X nations or how abortion should be handled makes less sense. Also if you vote geographically for somebody that then decides over the whole nation can lead to the effect of the national will being manipulated to improve individual districts to gain voting power.

The president in the US is really the only person who represents the nation, everybody else is primarily interested in their district or state. In Switzerland we don't vote for any person on federal level, only specific issues.

And that is even before you get to the question of how power, taxation and so on should be distributed over all these levels. That a whole other can of worms.

Democracy is really whole can of worms.
WhatsApp wasn’t a social network with public posts of rich media. It’s trivial from an architectural perspective because there isn’t anything that needs to be sent to millions of users.
Free hacking tools that are good for application security – FuzzingWeekly CW 2
Something I always noticed is that they get Morgan Freeman to do voiceovers for science shows, but he’s not a scientist so he has a sort of generic inflection when he talks about the various ideas in the script. And then you watch Carl Sagan’s COSMOS, where he co-wrote the material, and there is so much depth and expression to his delivery. There’s a lifetime of public speaking, specifically delivering complex scientific topics to a general audience, that Sagan drew from when recording his show.

Sagan would have learned this through conversation with people, and careful updates to his expression and delivery as he matured.

I guess an LLM could improve upon previous methods but I would also say there is a gap that even humans struggle with, which requires really complex knowledge both of public speaking and of the material. It may be a long time before we can really master that with AI systems.

The MBP is designed and manufactured by the richest company in the world. You'd expect their quality and polish to be better - and on the hardware side it is. On the flip side, the OS/software seems to get worse with each release, markup on storage and memory are absurd and you aren't able to upgrade or repair any components, and you trade any quality of life wins with ever-increasing anti-consumer lock-in/policies... So the trade-off is up to you.
I remember reading an article, linked from here, a couple of years ago, that stated, that, after just a couple of million years, the only evidence of our civilization, would be marbles. Everything else would be gone. Concrete, cities, steel, cars, roads, farmland, etc. All gone.

That infers that the dinosaurs could have had some kind of civilization, and there’s no evidence left, because they didn’t play jacks.
I'm sorry, I thought this essay was great. I think people are reading it too much as a scientific treatise, which it's not. This is more of a beatnik train-of-thought exercise trying to make sense of their own life experience and trying to draw parallels to some common pop-scientific theories relating to the "shamanistic hypothesis".

A question I still have that the essay only sort of touches on is why there are these "shamanistic tendencies". I've heard from many different sources that this type of shaman behavior is essentially selected for in our lead up to the dawn of civilization (8k-10k years ago) but I still haven't heard of a satisfactory reason of why.

This essay is making the argument that it's because the shamans can make sense of weird shit that happens. Another person in this thread is basically making the argument that the shamans are drug dealers of the tribe. Both could be true but it still seems a bit unsatisfactory to me.
This is roughly my feeling, but I'm a little less sure of the absolutely/undoubtedly part. Someone below is asking for evidence but I don't think any one of us could produce evidence for or against this. It all boils down to either "Twitter had ~7500 employees and..."

1. ... that feels like a huge amount for a company that has basically a single product

2. ... that feels entirely appropriate for a company operating at their scale

What we've observed is that they've kinda managed to keep going despite Elon axing an enormous number of employees, but they've also had a few high-profile outages like this one today, the 2FA issue and 16hr Aus outage. I don't know if these are enough for either side to declare that they're correct.

One thing I would like to say - even though I had a feeling Twitter was probably overstaffed, I was in no way celebrating the redundancies. Similarly even though I'm not a fan of Elon Musk, I'm not delighting in all these little goofs he's doing and how it's impacting him personally - every little embarrassment he suffers and every dip in Tesla stock makes it more likely he'll just call it quits or fuck up Twitter more. For all its faults, I quite like Twitter and I don't want it to just disappear.
Sure! I want prettier for types. So I don't have to manually type the obvious things. The IDEs are smart, but I haven't found one that would be that smart.
