I don't think that is true. If they had that many developers burning down performance issues then bugs like this would (IMHO) be getting fixed earlier. Anecdotally it sounds like a lot of customers are hitting this bug and I'd love to know whether it is known, being investigated, or just noticed now.

I'm sure it has been showing up in their start-menu telemetry.

I also wonder why they haven't fixed this issue:

> But at the time AT&T couldn't spy on its CC users though so the risk was lower I guess.

Sure they could... What do you think there were doing when they were selling System III & System V?

They compiled customer lists, and sales contacts, contract agreements and everything else you'd expect from an org selling commercial software. Was it "automated" in the same way that tracking use from a package manager is? No. Was it tracking? Fuck yes.

Unix wasn't free until the FSF began the GNU project...

Hell, even the BSD variants of unix were sold - they weren't free software. Are there free implementations that exist today? Yes. They exist because the item being sold and maintained by the corporation is NOT the spec for the language/os (the recipe) it's their implementation of it.
I've seen a similar argument about Chinese "sweat shops" where they were paying above the average salaries for the area & if the work went it'd be disastrous economically for the village. Sometimes you have to be realistic - if the amount earned is good for the area then it's trending in the right way.

To a cynical curmudgeon, it is a pyramid scheme for 100% of startups. To normal people, it is a pyramid scheme when you have a company like Theranos, which represents a very small percentage of dishonest founders in technology, overall.
Rust isn't a Mozilla language. It started there but it has it's own foundation and isn't under Mozilla's stewardship.
This is why I believe leadership in urban environments would quickly turn over to existing city gangs in a collapse scenario. Maybe the police would be one gang that controls a fraction of the city.

Urban gangs already have the required tribal associations, intimate understanding of the terrain and resources therein, and the propensity to commit violence that would be required to take control.

Any of us good citizens who keep our heads down, go to work, avoid violence at all costs, and individually prep for a collapse without building existing association to a coherent tribe will end up quickly dead or subservient to these existing tribes.
That's a fair perspective. I don't have the same faith in Rust's dominance for high-level use as these problems seem inherent to their kind of borrow checking, but its possible they can compensate for it with improvements like the ones you mentioned.
Go and Rust solve different problems. Rust is a very complicated language, but it's a much safer language for systems programming. I don't think that there is a better language for systems programming.

Go is probably the most widely used 'simple' language, and it's primarily used for applications. You can find some examples of using Go for systems-like programming, but that's not where it shines.
Quick rant about paying for things in Germany - last week I was driving with my family through Germany, after 12 hours in the car we stopped for the night in a random village near Magdeburg, but it was already 9pm and we haven't eaten. We were pointed to a local greek restaurant, which turned out to be fantastic, really good food, but when the time to pay came, I was told they don't accept Visa or MasterCard. Only "EC-Karten". I said I don't have one, I don't have any euros, so what now. "Oh there's a cash machine at a bank in a town nearby" - so I had to leave my crying toddler with my wife and go and hunt this cash machine in the middle of nowhere, because the owner doesn't want to pay the Visa/MasterCard fees. I was since told that this is very common in Germany, and outside of the motorway petrol stations your Visa/MasterCard might not be accepted.
I graduated in 2008 and entered the job market during probably the deepest recession in my country. I was lucky that I landed a grant which ensured my job for the next 4 years. This was both a blessing and a curse. Let me explain.

During and after the recession unemployment rate soared past 25%. 2/3 of my company got laid off during that period. At some point more than half of my friends were unemployed. Having a stable job you can count for years to come was an incredible perk.

However this security bred both complacency and toxicity. My boss started saying things like "you are lucky you got a job", "we are doing you a favour letting you work here" or "there are no jobs out there" (BTW I'm seeing echoes of this in some managers these days). Although the job was terrible, I was conditioned to have extremely low expectations.

At the end I spent the first 7 years of my career in a low performing and toxic organization. I was so severely underpaid that when I finally changed jobs, I 4x my pay without trying too hard. The rest is history.

So if I had to capture my lessons in a tip is: do whatever you need to "survive" the recession, but keep an eye on the market and be quick to jump when the tide turns.

I'll never know how much I would have turbocharged my career if I had jumped at the beginning of the longest bull market in history rather than languishing in a career dead end.

Cash brings an inherent risk to the business that digital payments don't. There's no getting robbed at 10PM while bringing the day's revenue to the bank if the transfers are all digital, there's no emptying the cash registers when you can get a hundred or so euros at most. Insurance companies certainly don't lower their prices if you decide to keep a few thousand euros in the registers all day.

In supermarkets here, the cash in the registers need to be counted every so often to make sure nobody is stealing from the company (because that has happened and will always happen). This burden and the cost of labour associated with it also generally disappears when customers pay digitally only.

Don't get me wrong, though I myself pay almost exclusively digitally these days, I'm definitely anti digital-only payments. An internet or power outage could take out the ability to pay for anything for hours or days if society goes full-digital. However, the fact that cash has many downsides to the business owners is often forgotten in these discussions.

I can imagine a future in which the risk of paying by cash is compounded by higher prices. Payment by card is already free (well, the 25 cents transaction fee is worked into the product price) but I can see the reverse happening, like a ±€2 charge for every payment for making the business run the risk of getting robbed or losing money. Kind of like how postage stamps are getting more and more expensive because nobody ever mails anything any more and the postal service needs to earn its costs back.

I bet many people will very quickly lose interest in keeping cash around when the additional cost of businesses accepting cash hits them in their wallets.

Like I said somewhere else, I appreciate long theories about "creating a more just and equitable global economy" but until it comes, I will take an option that is significantly better than anything I can get locally.

I'm not against paying workers more - not at all. But, most often, "exploiters" are willing to pay $2 per hour while social justice campaigners are willing to pay "thoughts, prayers, and rhetoric."

It's an easy choice between $2/hr and thoughts and prayers, especially when $2/hr is miles ahead of what the worker is getting at the moment.
Yeah, I just got paid with one the other week. It was the easiest way to take money when the person has no tech savvy (and can't figure out how to send an ACH)
What this highlights in my humble opinion is that many users seek security signals and are less concerned with the actual security implementation. In the password management space, the signals are "local vault", and "not VC backed", at least on HN. It's quite odd since you'd think people would be more concerned with the application architecture, key derivation, key transport backup and recovery, etc. But it seems security is more synonymous with "company doesn't store my vault on their servers" than it is with "company helps me securely encrypt my passwords".
brilliant idea. i will use this
Zelle can write that water are dry, it will not make it so. The customer intended to authorize a non-scammy transfer, but was scammed into authorizing himself into a fraud. As such, regulation E holds.

And if there's something bank fears is someone reminding their regulator the bank may not be following regulation to the letter.

It has been made very clear that regulation E is meant to held banks responsible for misuse of electronic services. For example, if you are coerced to draw money out of an ATM, regulation E holds, even as you authorized the withdrawal with your card and PIN code (it also makes perfect sense: there's assumption the same wouldn't be as easy had you had to use a teller for that withdrawal).

Slicing Cash Flows for Better Ratings
I live in a downtown highrise, have a car. It works with a shelf for added storage which takes up 5 or 6 sq ft. Having the space for, say, a chest freezer, would up my game a lot but I can do plenty of bulk purchases with what I have.

The lack of space is annoying though still.
Rust is a good replacement for C/C++. It's not a good replacement for the languages you listed.
You can definitely say that here. To me the problem isn't exactly VCs, it's the expectation of rapid, open-ended growth that ruins good products and companies. Of course, the driver for that is often VCs, but it can come from other places too.
Switching is a huge hassle, with uncertainty about whether things will actually be better or not, or if I will just hit different problems. Windows is actually excellent in many ways (see the tools I used to analyze this) so I would definitely be missing some things.

So, momentum plus uncertainty about whether other environments are actually better or just different. Plus my job.
>> You are 250 lines of C# code away from creating a fully functional PDF invoice implementation.

As a web developer this hurt to read. This is a task which is just crying out for a markup language and a stylesheet, not hundreds of lines of declarative C# code.

I suppose it tells us something, when the same criticisms could apply to a lot of language platforms. :)

Because it emphasizes the distinction between different parts of a website which in turn makes it easier to focus on individual things.

Why are so many people against white space when it hasn't been overdone? Obviously "overdone" means different things to different people but in this case the information that matters is still pretty dense.
But how many of those used 3090s have been run 24/7 by crypto farms?
I used a household example. Try running pi-hole in your network if you don’t already. The amount of tracking and spying just about anywhere is astoundingly depressing.

Transport encryption just shrinks the number of people at the party of eating the pie of your personal data. The pie still gets eaten, just by different people. And still without your consent. And absolutely nothing is done about it.

The only tangible benefit I see from this “encryption everywhere” (which by the way mostly got triggered in the industry by Snowden files) is three letter agencies being forced to be more creative when dealing with mass-vacuumed data. Undeniably a good thing, but far from total hallelujah.

Anyone know if high-RAM Apple silicon such as the 128 GB M1 Ultra is useful for training large models? RAM seems like the limiting factor in DL, so I'm hoping apple can put some pressure on nvidia to offer consumer GPUs with more than 24GB RAM.
This sounds like exactly my symptoms. Check for crashes.
Another complication which you might enjoy thinking about is the move Assist[0]. It will randomly use a move that is known by something else in the party which would be more difficult to prove no shenanigans without revealing any information. It isn't valid to be selected post gen 7 but, e.g., Showdown still has gen 7 (and prior) ladders.

The GDPR and this very case law say that an IP address in isolation and in general is not personal data.

Indeed, the case law explicitly says that an IP address is personal data IF the controller has or has a way to get additional data to make the person identifiable (which is what the GDPR already explicitly say). No-one is identifiable with an IP address only, there must be additional data, which I need to possess or have access to, even if only in specific cases (which is the key point of this German case law).
What 'toilet company' has an analogous service relationship like a bank does to their customer and would be in a position to resolve it?

In the other example they gave, you would expect the credit card company to work with you to resolve the fraud. Similarly, if a stolen vehicle gets tickets, you don't expect to have to pay them and then try to collect from the thief.
So lovely to read the word "Späti", as if everyone of course would know it's Berliner lingo for a late-hours convenience store... Any other Berlinism to report?
> Note that Synology DSM has built-in Let's Encrypt support

Yes... I tried going down that route. In my scenario, I'm accessing the NAS via its internal IP which is in an RFC1918 subnet. Let's Encrypt insists that you use a globally routable IP. If I used the public IP issed to me by my ISP, then I would have to map a port on my router and expose the NAS directly to the Internet. No way am I doing that.

I bought a cert through Namecheap and got 5 years for $29.95. That seemed quite reasonable to me. There was no problem getting it to work when I mapped the hostname to the NAS's internal IP. The only downside is that I have to go through a renewal process every year and install the updated cert on NAS. Not a huge deal; just one more thing I have to do.
Sorry I cringed. Hoping this is a joke.
The expandable "Official interpretation of 2(m) Unauthorized Electronic Fund Transfer" section makes it pretty clear what sort of things they consider to be covered under the regulation. If they thought it covered scams, it's highly likely they'd say so there.

Elizabeth Warren's recent investigation brought this up as an issue, as well. I think regulation should cover the scam use case, but it's pretty clear to me it currently doesn't.

2x what? CPU, then it's hardly worth it. 2x per core, so #cores x 2. I'd imagine the level of sparsity is also important, but there is no mention of it.
craigslist famously rejected taking outside money for years.

But more importantly, I don't think VC or VC money is always bad, but I get extremely wary when a relatively small company gets a shitload of money that they'll then be forced to grow into a way that means they'll lose focus on their core product.

I remember when I told a friend of mine that Postman raised nearly half a billion dollars in total funding, and his jaw dropped "You mean that browser plugin that allows you to make REST calls???" And sure enough, postman got filled with more and more "enterprise-y uselessness" to the point that I just stopped using it.
Looks like my analysis on the other post using Wikiless for comparison is wrong: the new theme does transfer about 50% more data and has double the uncompressed "weight" that the previous one did, for this article. Memory use similar, bouncing between about 215 and 230MB.
VC care about three things: percentage of ownership, growth, and a liquidity event.

If a startup doesn’t need the capital to grow, they’re not likely to take on VC funds. If they do, the startup will need to sell equity, which based on funding round have norms based on equity given for capital received. If the startup is frugal with the capital, but still manages to hit growth targets and reach an acceptable liquidity event for the VC, then any unspent capital would only add to the valuation of the company.

Is that common, no, but it does happen; if it does, generally means founders gave up equity unnecessarily. Regardless, VC measure ROI on capital invested in the startup not if the capital they invested was spent by the startup.
> As such, regulation E holds.

I've cited the exact wording of Regulation E to you elsewhere; it's pretty clear this scenario is not an unauthorized transfer.

Just like TOTP (used for most 2FA) the best practice for websites accepting passkeys will be to support as many passkeys as you wish to enroll. So you could enroll into your account some device associated with your Apple ID and some device associated with your Microsoft Account and some device associated with your Google Account and some browser associated with your Firefox Account and use any of those for recovery.

Unlike TOTP, the base case for passkeys is multiple key enrollment so websites are more likely to support it well whereas with TOTP so many implement it as having one-and-only-one TOTP configured. Even when enrolling just a single device that device generally enrolls a small key-chain, not just a single key, because that's how recovery systems work even for using just a single "owner" account. Plus most people use 2 or more devices regularly and Passkey has to work with that. So much more websites in practice should actually support N passkeys where N > 1 (versus half-baked single-option-only TOTP implementations).

At least in theory, in practice we'll see how well Passkey gets implemented at large, there's always lots of ways for companies to get practice wrong.

I don't think millennials all suddenly decided apropos nothing to avoid trades and take on useless degrees, they were encouraged to do so by their parents and teachers, and even then doing a useless degree is probably the rational choice since grad schemes have all replaced the equivalent schemes for high school leavers that existed 20+ years ago with no practical difference other than arbitrarily requiring a degree. Their "useless" degree might leave them with the same options their parents had with only a high school education, but it's still better than the options they have without one.
