I used to be quite against this and just felt that drivers needed to learn to live with cyclists (I as I had) - until I went to Holland and witnessed properly funded cycling infrastructure.

Cycling in Holland is an absolute pleasure, and despite the weather being just as damp as Britain, people cycle year round.

I don’t understand why it’s downloading at all, that shouldn’t be default behavior.

It should have default instructions to load a file from a default place, and then arguments/flags to load from a specific path, and then MAYBE a prompt to download the models after it can’t find them on the paths, plural
It gets difficult as you grow. A monthly payroll for 40 employees is around $500k, which all goes out on the same day. You can't avoid having that much money in your checking account. A well-run barely-profitable company might float between 3 and 6 months salary in the bank, with spikes and dips when they get paid or buy equipment. Businesses like that need accounts capable of safely holding several million.
There's also possibility of: "If this person hadn't been fired, they could use some other form of credentials within twitter's internal systems plus a passphrase they have memorized to login to the private-key-repository system where the credentials for the root CA are stored and retrieve them. But as they were fired abruptly they are not inclined to help Musk. And nobody has asked them".

The multiple supported shells remind me a little bit of the Windows cmder app, which I recall being pretty decent: https://cmder.app/

But the cross platform aspect is really nice, even if in my experience using different terminal apps per platform hasn't been too big of an issue.

Maybe except for MobaXTerm feeling better than most Linux tabbed/split terminal offerings due to its usability and support for sending input to multiple remote sessions at the same time, RDP/VNC integration etc.: https://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/ (something like Remmina is on par with mRemoteNG, so nice but not quite there)

Still, it's nice to have many alternatives to choose from.
I'm a nobody who got some startup lotto monies that were in excess of FDIC limits. You know what I did? I used multiple banks.

If you are not planning for "the big one," you are, again, accepting risk. My parents did not have earthquake insurance in SoCal in 1992 and had to start thinking about how they were going to repair the collapsed chimney on our house. I also didn't carry earthquake insurance on my SoCal house, knowing full well it is a risk. My mitigation being stocking up on food and water and having alternative sources of heat.

> Why should I be happy that the rest of us are now being volunteered to pay for insurance coverage for the group most able to understand the risk they were taking and pay for it themselves?

Because, now you don't have to worry about all the banks collapsing with run-contagion, which is a problem with large enough scale (collapsing the economy) that it does affect you.

You should be happy in the way an apartment's occupants are happy when the fire department puts out a fire in a different apartment in the building, even though it "didn't affect my apartment."
I could very well see that being the case. I could see it being somewhat of a reminant of their old start-up days.

You still have to pay the interest on the loan.

If your bond 10y bond you bought two years ago pays 1.5% and you need to take on a loan at 3.5% for 8 years to be liquid, then you are still around 16% in the red.
You will find that this is also roughly what the market will discount the bonds.
C# can be much better, or it can be much the same. It depends on which implementation you use. Standardisation is an issue here, the system library has the "Nullable<T>" struct (1), but not a standard Result<T, E> class (or struct). Popular libraries such as "OneOf" use a class type. The single-valued "OneOf" type is effectively an "Option<T>" (2)

Nullable<T> itself is not exactly the same as Option<T> since it does not cover types that already allow nulls. It adds nulls rather then removing them.

Many people roll their own Option<T> or Result<T,E> type, since it's easy enough to start, and it's usually a class type.

@dang: the original blog post by Ahrefs is much more informative and detailed.

https://tech.ahrefs.com/how-ahrefs-saved-us-400m-in-3-years-...
If the bank is being mismanaged, it should still collapse. The FDIC steps in, bankruptcy courts are really good at distributing funds or someone buys the assets and the debt & underwrites it & boots it all up again, the original bank dies and it’s operators suffer reputational damage, and everyone learns a bit about banks, insurance premiums get adjusted and life goes on. If the bank was so bad at its job, then this should happen. It could even have happened on Friday, if people came to an agreement and got enough money to survive out before accelerating withdrawals.

I am talking about the period just prior to when the bank ceases normal operation, when everyone is panicking and deciding whether to withdraw everything. People in bank runs are judging the behaviour of other participants. If you think everyone else is going to do that, then yes, it’s rational to do that ASAP. If you have all day to talk about it, and everyone relevant is in the room, then if possible you don’t do that. Because bank runs are bad! You might try to soften the blow, even out the damage, ensure nobody’s left behind, and then get the bank to go down gracefully. The people here acted as if they thought the bank run would go on until all the money was drained, or worse, as if bankruptcy meant getting pennies on the dollar. Of course that wasn’t going to happen. Maybe 20% got out, which amplified losses slightly for the slower reactors. Was the risk of a few percent worth causing a panic and threatening a larger one? No!

But no, it had to be run run run, full speed, and then threaten the government with more panic if they didn’t bail it out. This path is greedy and needy, and it will not make big tech any less of a pariah in the American psyche.

PS, I think much of this irrational behaviour may be attributable to the 250k insurance cap. Everyone sees that figure and sees the absolute worst case scenario, blinded to the actual likely amount they’ll get back from someone selling off the assets. When you have $10 million in there it looks really bad even if it’s really fine. If you have to force people to pay for 100% insurance coverage just so they don’t all act like idiots in the face of a run, then maybe that is worth it.

We need to make the work part interesting, engaging, joyful and something we look forward to so that it doesn’t make us unhappy.

Yeah, the corollary would be roads where the pedestrian has to walk on the road and there is no separation. That does exist in extremely rural areas and very old town centers - both of which are mostly ok because they demand the car go extremely slow. Wherever there is a sidewalk there should also be a dedicated cycleway.
If anyone is looking for a middle ground between nothing and a fully-fledged project like Astro/Lunar vim, I'd really recommend kickstart.nvim

If I can paraphrase: "the risk would have been that banks that are too small would have been emptied, because a clear delineation would have been set between those that are too big to fail, and those that are not. This hazard induced by the existance of too-big-to-fail banks makes it hard to have small banks. Therefore, the solution to declare small banks somewhat too-big-to-fail and bail them out beyond legal obligations is reasonable."

It is reasonable, you are not wrong! But this slope is getting slippier. Something needs fixing, even if this bailout is the right thing to do.

I don't want to argue against this bailout, I want to argue against a system that forces everyone's hands into bailouts every so often.
Alas, another confidently incorrect comment on HN.
Its so funny observing continuously the marketing campaign against cars everywhere in the world at the same time. And it's also funny to observe nobody is aware about the real issue here, the plan to revoke free mobility (yeah, it's quite easy to ride 40 kms daily to get to the office under any weather)

> I had to physically go over to the police to point out drivers that were also jumping reds in front of them, as they were so fixated on their 'job' of catching cyclists.

Their boss likely knew. They just wanted to appease a certain group by tackling the cyclists. They can’t be accused of bias against cars if they spend money catching cyclists too.

You have to be brain dead as a pedestrian or driver to not know that red light jumping by cars has been a big and increasing problem for a decade easily.

Not anymore. Now the question is, how does the government make depositors whole? I doubt they will go flog the bonds on the open market or get loans at market rate like idiots. The point of this intervention is to bypass the market mechanisms that caused this and put the government as a backstop.
Sorry, missed that, thanks.
This is kinda obvious, isn't it.

Thats pretty cool, its good that you exited, I currently use Midjourney’s AI for my logos instead of paying someone a few hundred bucks on fiverr and waiting a week for the first draft.

I just prompt Midjourney “in style of logo”

I also pay $8/month but only because I believe I’ll render that many things, which hasnt currently been true

But does this export as vector? That could have value. If not, your app is something my mom could use, while midjourney is not. because she would have to “learn” discord and lose interest far before that.

IDGAF about the morality of SVB's clients being able to make payroll or not.

But it strikes me that there's a second-order "too big to fail" effect at work here.

Not only bank runs. How many businesses who don't have any banking with SVB are operationally dependent on cloud services provided by SVB-banked companies?

What's curious is that this wasn't a risk in the 2000-2001 crash, and barely an emerging one in 2008.

Let's say 20% of cloud service providers can't make payroll and shut down. What does the disruption in the wider, real economy look like? Pretty messy, no?
It's amazing how temporary traffic lights at road works are treated as completely optional in London since motorists know there's no enforcement cameras. I've had a van driver lean on his horn and start harrassing me when I stopped at one when he was behind me.
I kind of like that behaviour. You're comparing object references and get exactly the expected output instead of some magically overloaded equality operator. If you want that, just use 'equals' ;)
Title is weird. I think the relevant passage regarding cyclists is this: "for cyclists, the most common reason was personal safety. Getting out of the way of larger, faster, often lethal motor vehicles was the main factor influencing bicyclists’ rule-breaking."
Of course it's reasonable to use cat on one file. Why should it work for all 𝑛≥2 files, but suddenly fail at 𝑛=1?

From the caveat at the end of the original article:

> This article doesn’t take into account other aspects that would make the comparison even more complicated. These include people skills, financial controls, cash flow, capacity planning depending on the load type, etc.

You can't handwave all this away in real life though. If you're rolling your own data center, the engineering time you need to put into managing servers, upgrades, hardware replacements, 24/7 oncall rotations etc etc is considerable and will often dwarf the costs of the hardware itself, particularly at startup scale. With a cloud provider, it's (almost) all abstracted away.
Having the government give zero-interest loans doesn’t quite satisfy the “won’t cost anything to taxpayers” part, does it?

I suspect this would vary a lot by country. In Amsterdam, many cyclists most definitely break the law to save time, whereas motorists are quite well-behaved. We also don't have news media demonising cyclists.

Cyclists here are a lot safer than elsewhere, and motorists are much more aware of cyclists and their vulnerability (because they've also cycled much of their lives), and I've been wondering if maybe that's why I've even seen parents with children break the law in ridiculously dangerous ways.

I don't. Ever since I got kids and got my driver's license, I've become a lot more well-behaved, also to set a good example for my kids. My kids seem to be growing up with a very good sense of how to behave in traffic and when to break the law.

I compiled a basic C program and then read the output of GCC -S to see the assembly.

I used what I learned from GCC output Then I wrote a basic amd64 expression compiler with simple live ranges and linear register allocation and ANF (a normal form) for postorder AST traversal for code generation. It can only evaluate nested add and mul expressions.
