I think forgetting to assign a variable to the return value and ignoring the return value are two different things.

Zig regards forgetting to assign a variable to a return value as a compile time error because there's an entire class of bugs that stem from it, e.g. resource leaks.

Sorry, but if I'm reading the article correctly you didn't save any money, because you weren't using AWS in the first place. All you did was to do some back of the napkin math what it might cost you to run something on AWS.

This is what makes tu-quoque such an insidious logical fallacy: It allows someone to sidetrack the conversation by changing away from the original subject.

Had I followed along with this ruse, it would be trivial to keep piling on another country's bad behavior until the actual issue (Russia invading and annexing a neighbor) eventually gets buried in the noise from the resulting back-and-forth. And it often works because onlookers are fooled by the sleight-of-hand, while the accuser is left on the defensive because the subject has now shifted to something different of the interlocutor's choice that cannot be defended.

They're called logical fallacies because they give the appearance of logical argument, but are actually invalid and prove nothing (and are in fact deceptions). I suggest you read up on them; I posted a link to the tu-quoque fallacy earlier.
Right, but now the older children are being parentized and have to do some of the child-rearing instead of just being care-free kids themselves. Not everyone wants that for their children.

Also, the comparison used 3-year reserved instances (if I read correctly) but didn't have a pricing plan (the part of the contract with AWS that specifies your discount). $400M->$300M if you know how to negotiate (I'm an engineer but to save $5M I learned how to negotiate. It's unpleasant but effective).

What I'm struggling with is their estimate. I work for an enormous enterprise that runs tons of stuff on the cloud and our budget is less than a quarter of their AWS estimate. We avoid products like EBS unless they are necessary, and use RDS whenever possible.
It can use openstreetmap as a data source and probably most people self hosting their maps will end up using openstreetmap data and maybe some of their own data. IMHO this is more interesting for people that want bespoke maps as it gives them a cheap way to do that without having to rely on expensive SAAS solutions or a lot of operational complexity.

Openstreetmap doesn't really do a lot for hosting maps for third party websites. You would use Mapbox, maptiler or other suppliers for that and libraries such as mapbox/maplibre, openlayers, leaflet etc. that can render either bitmap or vector maps.

The trick with protomaps is that instead of deploying gazillions of tile files, you upload a huge single file with all the vector content inside and then use lambda functions to extract tiles from that file. And then you use caching and CDNs to to make sure you don't have a lot of compute overhead . So, the API looks like a normal tile server. The data deployment process boils down to uploading a new file and your usage data is a little bit of compute for the tiles your users ask for and a networking cost related to using a CDN.

So, that adds up to a lot of savings potentially. At least, as long as commercial providers don't lower their cost. Obviously, they are free to do similar things technically.
Buying a font ought to be on par with buying stock art. No necessary but if it makes you feel good, go for it.
If react, and specifically react using functional components, is going to be a full featured web framework, hooks or something like them are necessary to integrate with the browser and the web of 2023.

The 101 parts of functional programming are a very easy pitch. Stateless behavior, testable functions, no surprising side effects from way down the tree. When it gets to 201 stuff - boxing (like useRef) and dispatch (like useState) complexity creeps back in. That complexity is necessary, however, because that's the stuff people actually want to do.

Hooks let react interact with browser audio and video, mapping tools, and other things that are reasons why people want to use web pages. They're complex, but there are limits to how simple a bridge between a functional programming framework and a mostly stateful host system can be.
Do you mean they've taken money from the fed to capitalize the bank already? I understood they were essentially giving money to the fed through their portfolio of purchases t-bonds.
Hooks encapsulate mutable state. It’s not much different than object-oriented programming with a different syntax.
Tangential but related: "Toxic Propellant Hazards"[1] a video made in the mid/late 60s and published by the US National Archives Youtube channel.

Crypto was pure unadulterated speculation.

I mean, SURE, you could (still can) actually use crypto for things like purchases, contracts, data tracking, and what have you - but in the crypto bubble people were solely buying and holding to sell at a profit. Zero actual use, all speculation.

At least with the current ML, we daily see new tools and other cool stuff.
IMHO best-case scenario with React is there's a lot of "you're holding it wrong" in which case we have to ask ourselves, is it that most programmers aren't skilled enough or that the tool is designed wrong? Both are possible but the latter is in general more likely.

I also think there's an issue where react was made to solve Facebook's problems and we're not Facebook.
The bank failures (SI, SBNY, SIVB) were tied to stuff that grew 300% in 2 years (speculative VC crap, crypto)

It's bad, but likely still a contained collapse (hopefully!)
React Hooks came out 4 years ago. React doesn't change dramatically every year and the React devs are careful not to break the old APIs, so you can ignore hooks or other new features if you want.

This complaint comes up in every thread about React and it makes no sense.
MyFonts' licensing system effectively took down our entire website recently.

We have a font licenced for some number of pageviews (250,000 or whatever), and they track that via an @import in the CSS they give you which points to a URL on a subdomain of myfonts.net. Except they changed their licensing mechanism, didn't tell their customers and broke the subdomain the @import was hitting. It didn't fail immediately, just kept trying to load for ages, and so rendering was blocked and our pages didn't load. That was pretty frustrating.
Matthew Butterick is also a lawyer, so I'd guess he crafted the license himself.
Aren't you always vulnerable in this scenario?

OK, there's a lot of discussions about if booleans, Eithers/Optionals or exceptions should be used. And I'd say it's probably best to use what's most common in the programming language to be used.

I never made the claim the system was complete.

>If you read cybernetics texts today, they paint a picture very similar to neural networks and the statistical methods for processing data. "Introduction to Cybernetics" by W. Ross Ashby is a decent text with a lot of good exercises. I still think there's a lot to learn here.

I do lots of different things, but at work I’m getting paid because I know how to make people’s ideas reality and not because I’m deciding what to build, which I’m honestly fairly indifferent to as long as I don’t think it’s outright unethical.
You can't compose behaviors effectively with class based components, and the fact that you only have one of each lifecycle method means that they become an absolute mess as you scale with complexity. Each behavior gets split up across multiple lifecycle methods, mixed in with every other behavior. With hooks, you can encapsulate each behavior into a single hook function that handles its complete lifecycle, and then trivially use it anywhere else.
I don't particularly live near any of my relatives though (the closest ones I could rely on are four hours away). Many people are in my situation of having moved for a better job, which necessarily leaves those other people behind.
Deaf people would disagree :) if you talk in sign language on zoom missing video parts would ruin the conversation.

I don't think it's about precision, in the case of audio vs video - if you remove all the even columns from a video it would be similar to reducing quality, the same can be done with audio - removing half of the frequencies uniformly will just lower the quality.
This retrospective analysis (1 year after the transaction) shows it was probably a reasonable, although not great, deal: https://www.fool.com/investing/general/2009/09/25/jpmorgan-a...

This situation is beginning to improve if you know where to look. There are several typeface designers who offer both low prices and reasonable licensing terms for their fonts; for instance, David Jonathan Ross (https://djr.com/) has a "Font of the Month Club" that gives you one font per month at $6/month; even without membership you can get previous club fonts for $24; and the licensing terms are plain english. Matthew Butterick's fonts cost more ($120 for a full typeface; mbtype.com) but have a very reasonable plain-English license.

That said, usage tiers (where you must pay more if your website gets a certain # of views/month) seem ubiquitous. I think these are ok - big websites can afford to pay more, and I wouldn't be surprised if a disproportionate amount of a typeface designer's income will come from a few heavy hitters; so without charging more for big websites, they'd have to raise the price for small ones, pricing hobbyists like me out of the market. Big font companies, though, often require you to install intrusive javascript tracking code to enforce these agreements, which is a step too far for me.

Fonts are pretty much a pure crystallization of the "information wants to be free"/"artists want to be paid" tradeoff. Digital fonts are nothing but information, so it seems absurd to charge more for using them on more websites/in more documents/with a larger team - there's no additional cost being incurred!; but without artificial restrictions on reuse, typeface designers wouldn't get paid at all.

tl;dr You're going to get better treatment and better prices from little one-person font designer shops than from the big companies (Monotype, Hoefler & Co). Unless you're a big co yourself, the OP is right; they're a waste of your time. But the little guys are a decent option, you just have to hunt around.
I'm not sure what is dishonest about what I said.

My point is that the German system is not a magical system of free healthcare. Rather, it's financially backed by charging a considerable chunk of earnings.

As a side note, the idea that the employer pays 50% of the contribution is a political slight of hand - an employee's labor covers 100% of the health insurance payment.
Its not that hard to believe though. When you have used something for a long while, its difficult to face the fact that you may have been doing something to the detriment of your health. I see it as a coping mechanism.

I really don't understand what the allure of cannabis is. For me, an immediate effect was a decline not only in cognitive ability but also short term memory. Like not being able to hold a thought for more than 5 seconds. How is that pleasurable? It should be no wonder long term use trends in the direction of decline. Of course, for older or termininally ill patients, the pain management benefits may be worth the trade-off, but if the choice is living with pain vs. being perpetually stoned, I think I'd try living with the pain as much as long as I can.

(FTR, I am not against legalisation, so no need to accuse me of trying to take away your drug. I just think we need to make these decisions with caution.)
One thing to bear in mind is that "failing" is not binary.

The story seems to be that SV put all their deposits into 10 y bonds in 2021. I'll use that as an approximation.

A 10Y bond will usually move about 8x as much as the underlying interest rate (it's called "duration"). So if SVB did nothing but buy these bonds and sit on them, then they would have lost about 36% on these (8 x 4.5% rate movement). That's a lot but also better than losing everything. And you'd hope the bank wasn't idiotic enough to take no precautions: no hedging of IR changes, putting all assets into just that.

My finger in the air haircut would thus be maybe 15-20% loss of deposits, if this simplified model has anything to do with reality. That's a lot but also means depositors get 80-85% of their money back.

It's possibly pushing the limits of my toy model here but a 10Y bond bought in 2021 is now only an 8Y bond, because time has passed. So instead of 8x you get more like 6x and the pessimistic haircut number is thus 29%.
Yeah, it’s likewise with most companies too probably, if they pay the salary in BTC.

The salary will still probably be like “$130k USD per year, but we send it to you in Bitcoin” and whatever the exchange rate happens to be at the day of each pay check determines how much Bitcoin they send you.

And in some ways it’s good and in some ways it’s bad.

It’s good because at the moment BTC is so volatile. It’d kind of suck if I agreed to some amount of BTC per year in salary and one month I couldn’t even afford rent just because the market rate for BTC was so bad.

But I really do hope that one day we can measure so many things in BTC directly, that I could have my pay check in Bitcoin and pay my rent and my food in Bitcoin etc, without regards for what the BTC to USD value is.
TypeScript flags when I call a function that takes two parameters max with three arguments as an issue in many contexts, but not in contexts like this.

Yes, and it’s not just because it’s cursive. I’m in my late sixties so am thoroughly familiar with cursive — just have no use for it as a font, much less in code.

How is it obvious? I (and most of my friends) don't use social networks at all. They're not "absolutely required" for absolutely anything (unless your country is significantly different from mine). You'll only "miss out" on things that are only happening on social networks, but that's the point, right?

A tip not just for notebooks but for anything (e.g. electrical appliances) if you're buying them for the first time: Buy them cheap. If you use them until they're used up (in the case of notebooks) or broken (in the case of electrical tools), buy a more expensive / higher quality one. If not, you didn't waste too much money on it.
"Side Effect" in functional programming usually means the function is affecting something other than the output. And calling a hooks really doesn't, they just output the description of such an effect on a side channel.
I worked for Google when the Google+ announcement went out and they tied our bonuses and other successes to social. I worked in Cloud, building a non-social product, and it was absolutely demoralizing. Guess what? Google+ crashed and burned, but now Google is doing cloud in a sort of semi-serious way, but still chasing after ML and not rewarding the hard-working cloud engineers. Really a messed up incentivization system.

there's a bit of confusing triple-negative language going on there, since H&L are offering assertions as "myths".

H&L claim "What doesn’t kill you makes you weaker [is a myth]", that is, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Wilson then argues that of course things that harm people can make them weaker, this is why "harm" is to be avoided. If one argues that "repression" is harmful, and harmful things that dont kill you make you "stronger", why are H&L opposed to "repression" ?

I think you are misunderstanding what happened.

Their portfolio only had an unrealized loss, if they held they would have been whole. They were forced to sell long duration assets before they matured.

This is the very definition of a duration mismatch. Short duration money got called back while the long duration money was below par. if they could hold the long duration to maturity they would be whole with no losses.

Not sure what I'm failing to explain.

Can you better explain why you disagree?
There were many tiers, but it did go up into the 5 figures for large volumes.
That is an interesting take. The concert example is especially amusing to me: these people pushing through certainly are aggressive, intentionally so, because the whole point is to assert themselves into a position for better proximity to the entertainment at the expense of the people they're pushing through. If that isn't aggression, nothing is.
That’s pretty much impossible in the general case, thanks to Rice’s theorem. Rust can only do so because it limits the possible lifetime “shapes”.

Otherwise why don’t build it for C instead?
NVIDIA would rather bring open source to Antarctica than Linux.
The silliest thing I learned years ago was that the license only applies to the "software" of the font. In the US, you can literally go and vectorize any font in the world and do whatever you want with it.

"In the United States, the shapes of typefaces are not eligible for copyright, though the shapes may be protected by design patent (although these are rarely applied for, the first US design patent ever awarded was for a typeface)." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellectual_property_protecti...

Also from somebodynew:
"A US federal court held that typeface designs cannot be copyrighted in Eltra Corp. v. Ringer in 1978. Federal regulations made this explicit in 37 CFR 202.1(e) in 1992. The government's explanation here [1] makes it explicit that typefaces are not subject to copyright protection, while fonts can be copyrighted as computer software."

Cybersecurity Summit 2021: Responding to Mis/Dis/Mal-Information
I'm curious. Isn't this precisely what you want your government to do, not to shut down media but to get a handle on what is going viral and why, and what external influencers might be involved, and try to interdict it? As opposed to shutting down legitimate discussion? And to make all of their efforts and discoveries public as well? I've lived in repressive states, and to my knowledge they don't publicize their methods or intentions in cleansing their media sphere of anti-government sentiment, and they also don't allow platforms to continue operating openly. I think everyone has a right to free speech, but no one has a right to use a megaphone; isn't deplatforming bad actors actually the arm of democracy in action?

More broadly, can't a government act as a moderator to preserve civil society? Isn't a democracy acting that way in its own defense preferable to collapsing into a dictatorship at the whim of a viral/populist movement that would immediately go further?
They’ll also wait less for IT to service their tickets requesting new infrastructure, which leads to more new feature development. There are a variety of trade-offs; not all of them have the same sign.

Can we stop for a second and comment on how tailoring a bank to startups is a bad idea?

You don’t get any exposure to any of their potential hyper-growth in the form of debt/equity.

All you get is the deposits but they also don’t grow, the total just becomes concentrated in the accounts of the few survivors while all the other accounts go to zero as most startups die.
May I ask you why do you sound so calm and confident that your money will not evaporate permanently (above the FDIC guarantee)? Banks going bust is a totally normal thing in a capitalist system, and bigger more established banks than SVB have done so only a decade ago.
Article 8: "[...] the webfonts (= WOFF2 files) can be used on up to three websites owned by the license buyer. [...] read–write copies of my fonts can be embedded in word-processing documents that will be shared with fewer than 20 people."
It’s the tide going out - we’ll see who’s swimming naked.
This counterargument has flaws of its own, like no working definition of "things [that] do make you weaker". It seems like hearsay from both sides. I think the only time-tested truth, backed up by wealth of data, is that censorship of ideas and speech is bad, especially in academic settings. This counterargument needs to have some more rigorous lemmas and data to back them up.
Roads, mail service, electricity and water pipes are valuable for me and improve my life. I want to use them, and I do.

Fair enough. I reduced it.
