Federal Regulators wanted to push greater oversight into State Charters during the GFC as well, but due to Federalism they couldn't push it as much.

That was a big reason why they pushed regional banks to be acquired by National Charter banks during that fiasco.

Because of the limits of American Federalism, it's easier to use M&A driven consolidation to make the banking industry more robust in the US than by dealing with 55 different legislatures (50 states and the 5 territories).

If you want to have a rough feel of dealing with local charters I'd recommend seeing the whole Mesa Verde storyline in Better Call Saul - (spoilers) the whole reason Kim Wexler was hired to work with them was because that local NM bank wanted to expand into other states and as such needed to get a charter in other adjacent states like TX, AZ, UT, CO, etc.

Cool. Did you for some reason asked it to write code in any language? I wonder how accurate is it.
I agree all big MedTechs do this and I wonder what other (better way exist)?

When I was a kid I heard that some local farmers paid a peppercorn rent to the our local church to be able to farm some fields. At the time I really thought they were literally paying in pepper corns.
> FP doesn't demand the parameters stay the same. It also allows for outputs of a function to get put back in as a parameter in a subsequent invocation, which is what happens to the context.

My point is that _you as the caller_ are _not_ doing this when calling a stateful component Foo. Foo mutates between events and state is entirely encapsulated, so you are getting different results from the same question. The caller doesn't care about the internal execution model of Foo and React. A functional interface is _only_ satisfied if the function is referentially transparent. Which in this case it is not.

If all you can do is send messages and observe behavior from outside. It behaves exactly like an Object and not like a Function from the perspective of the caller.

---

You are arguing in terms of the implementer of a stateful component. You are thinking in terms of how React/useState behaves from inside your component and further up the call stack. And in this context I agree. You can think of useState as part of your signature so to speak. In fact the hooks rules prevent you from doing things that violate this mental model.

But that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the practical, real world perspective of a caller and whether they observe functional or object oriented behavior from your component.
Recursion is recursion, obviously.
I have nothing running on GCP and still have hundreds of "important", "alert", etc. emails from their platform. Tax changes in Belarus! Advisory Notifications will become Generally Available! Spike in user reported spam!

Same reason I've almost thrown out important communications from my credit card company; they send so much "important!" mail that's actually an offer to sign up for paid credit card monitoring it starts to be a spam flag.
I assume it's the typical corporate situation: when you have to work together on a codebase that's too big for one person to get a mental overview of. And unlike with a codebase you develop in your free time, you have no real control of who you have to work with.
True, when the original commenter is claiming it's an arm of CCP it's wildly exaggerated.

Thank you for sharing the view on US-treasuries, it is very interesting, and I didn't expect it to be that large portion.
The US is doing fine - the Inflation Reduction Act will bring back a lot of industry and make the business owners even richer.

Of course as the USA's economic dominance is threatened, it really ramps up the cannibalisation and exploitation of its puppet states in Europe, etc.

I know of Rubymine and use it daily. Rubymine sadly gives up if files get too large, which is realistic for `config.rb` even in medium sized Rails projects.

But I wonder if a language can be considered good for use if you can only really use it within a dedicated, non-free IDE.

With huge uncertainties in the assets & liabilities, no time to narrow those down before deciding, executives often too optimistic about such situations, and the regulators obviously "shopping" potential buyers for the least-rational optimists ...my bet would be that it's worth far less.
> Still, I think that's only part of the problem. Manufacturing and innovation in Western countries are now in a state of malaise and they're being quickly overtaken by Asian countries such as China. Like it or not, the West generally is in a state of decline.

It’s also worth connecting this to the economic stagnation in Western Europe since 2008. GDP per capita has not budged in the UK, France, and Italy in more than a decade.

I maintain that you're privileging the economic wellbeing of privileged tech workers, who have the resources to weather unemployment (and their communities and municipalities who are likewise situated, recognizing the effect of this mass layoff), over the workers that this bailout is now going to effect. There's a multi-hundred-billion-dollar hole in the Treasury balance sheet which is now, ultimately, going to be filled with SNAP cuts, and job skill development cuts, and public transit cuts, and cuts to all the other low-hanging discretionary fruit that help keep life in the bottom two quintiles of the American wealth ladder viable. They get hurt, because the people at the top are incompetent.

I've said (roughly) in another thread, I would rather have well-off people get hurt alone or alongside poor people, rather than poor people alone. When well-off people get hurt, problems are more likely to get fixed. What we've seen is proof positive of the assumption of influence and reach that underpins this notion, but in the most cynical way imaginable. They said: fuck you, got mine.
I think I was misunderstood, or more likely did not convey the message correctly. Given a set of acceptable configurations that pass your litmus test, there's little - if any - reason to waste effort in deciding which to go with.

I assumed that the commenter had a relatively narrow list of what they deem acceptable, e.g. 2 or 3 or even 4 configurations.

The approach though is more general than this scenario and can be applied in almost every case with low stakes while absolving the person of the regret they might feel for their choice and reduce the time spent deciding in search for "perfection". The goal is to reduce regret and indecisiveness.
I've also been an HSBC US customer for like 6-7 years, and quite happy with them. They decided to keep me too haha.

The problem is not having the backups, it's restoring them. How do you restore backups when you have no servers to restore them on because they all burnt down?
I'm confident the actual auth/crypto is terrible, so a dedicated attacker can do this even with GPON (through a rooted conventional GPON ONT).

The security is mostly provided by the fact that most internet is cheap enough that the mere price of acquiring an SFP or GPON ONT + the time it takes to reverse-engineer and hack isn't worth it. Also, breaking into unterminated fibre itself requires a fusion splicer that will set you back a couple grand, which is enough to pay for 1+ years of internet in most places.

Same with DOCSIS, the security is mostly obscurity/annoyance but anyone dedicated will easily bypass it.

Very cool to see this with such good discussion on Hacker News! I am the lead developer for AstroNvim (https://astronvim.com/) and am happy to answer any questions that anyone has. This new release has been a while in the making and is truly only possible because of the great community we have been building. We have been able to receive so much feedback, see how many of our users are using this pre-configuration to drive their own setups, and have been able to work together to meet their needs.

The biggest goal of this latest major release was to decrease abstraction from our configuration schema. Rather than implementing our own ways of configuring plugins, we expose it to the user in the same way that they would configure it themselves. That way users don't have to relearn Neovim configuration.

Another cool project that we have been spinning up along side this new release is AstroCommunity! (https://github.com/AstroNvim/astrocommunity) This repository aims to empower the community to get more involved with the project and to share their own configurations of plugins that we might not want to ship with the base installation of AstroNvim. This ranges from single plugins such as colorschemes, all the way up to full language packs that setup language specific plugins/language servers/debuggers.
Not sure why the downvotes. I don't completely agree with your point but it's not a bad one.
It's true that Ukrainians winning for almost a year they should be at the gates of Moscow now, no? That's what I would think if newspapers in my country (France) were to be believed.
The people on here absolutely will not, for any reason, consider both sides of the situation. They literally think Ukraine did nothing wrong.
Typically without even researching whether whoever is managing the fund is actually allocating to follow the index.
Can you give an example how to do that? I've only seen IO and parsing libraries that copy around byte arrays, but you can't cast byte arrays to arbitrary objects, which means you usually have to manipulate the bytes directly (unless you're lucky to work with only strings). At that point I imagine it would be far easier to just use C++ or Rust.

Its accounting nonsense basically. Legally banks are allowed to value assets like bonds which they intend to hold to maturity at the original purchase value, because well, eventually they should get their money back.

Issues only arise when they are forced to sell these assets because then they must acknowledge the fact they're not actually worth as much as the bank says they are.

My guess is that mark-to-market the value of SVB UK's assets don't exceed total liabilities, in which case it makes no sense to purchase for their assets alone.

Is all this worth it when you may have only a few chars of whitespace at most?

When I was looking at something related to this recently I noticed gcc doing a pretty cool optimisation [0], where it converted the whitespace chars into a bitfield and leveraged the `bt` instruction. It seems quite sensitive to the char string though and falls back to worse code easily (e.g add "\f\v" to the string) but it's easy to manually write the code so that gcc always generates the same.

I find this hilarious. This is probably all from some template, but talking about "funding" a 1 euro transaction is funny.

There was a very common character in many '90s movies, a sad old man who kept going on and on and on about 'Nam. Everything they said was about 'Nam, everything that happened reminded them about 'Nam, they kept telling the same story over and over again. Think Walter from The big Lebowski, Ned from South park, etc. The thing is it was only about 20 years between the end of the war and when these characters were created, ie not that long.

It's been 10 years folks, it's time to Let it Go. If you don't, sometime over the next 10 years you're going to become that character. I've already seen it happen too friends of mine with the Iraq war (not participating, protesting) it's not a good look.

It's time to let Google Reader rest in peace.
> Grindr is an 18+ app

Which minors use, and which minors have been sexually abused through - see, e.g., this NPR report “How Grindr, A Popular Gay Dating App, Poses Exploitation Risk To Minors” - https://www.npr.org/2021/08/03/1024108203/how-grindr-a-popul...

I’m not saying this to justify what this group did - I’m sure the vast majority of adult men on Grindr have zero intention of pursuing the minors on the platform, and if they happen to make contact with one, will do the right thing once they find out they are a minor. I’m sure many of these priests had no such intention either.
This isn't really helpful because it's true until it isn't true or you get locked out in a way that you can't prove ownership or something.

All businesses need to at least consider BC and DR, even if they eventually decide they have to risk it. There are loads of reasons why a dependency goes down which you have no control over so even basic spreading between providers or having a less-capable but simple DR system can go miles towards having a business not get killed in this way.

GPON SFPs are a thing - it could be that the ISP is using those even with their official router, handing off all the GPON auth to the SFP and the router just sees this as a normal WAN port.

It's actually quite a good setup, as it allows power users to swap the router with anything SFP-capable and provides a standard interface across the demarcation line.
I don’t thing those loans would be very useful for the bank that buys discounted debt in that example. Being able to borrow with “bad” collateral is nice but the main selling-point is not needing to recognize losses. If you don’t have unrealized loses to hide it doesn’t help much.

A bailout is a bailout is a bailout. I am not sure why people get so offended by this. Here it is a bailout with extra steps to allow for claims that it is not a bailout. I have no real horse here. My market exposure is maybe 10k usd now.

The point made is rather simple: whatever the rules are, enforce them. Otherwise they are not rules and no one will take you seriously.
The reason is that actual human-written text generally doesn't follow the most probable next word rule, but rather there are occasional 'decisions' made which make the text unique and therefore more interesting/coherent.

I completed this degree in about 24 months of full-time study. I had minimal coding experience when I started.

It is mostly self-study but there are instructors for every course. Most have Phd's but some just have their masters. Many told me they have worked in industry for 20-30 years. You can book basically unlimited appointments with the instructors to get guidance on the course material. I found the instructors were particularly helpful for code review during my project-based courses.

In terms of rigor of the cirriculum I'd say it was comprable to my previous humanities degree at a medicore Canadian brick and mortar university. Some classes were legit hard and others were a total joke. The difference with the WGU format is you can spend 1-2 weeks cramming for the joke classes to pass the exam and move on with your life.

I'm still looking for my first dev job after graduation in the fall so not totally sure if it was worth it. Seems like I learned more about DSA, databases, OOP and math than you do at a bootcamp. The web development component of the program is really weak so I have been self-studying a lot while I apply to jobs.

You could definitely learn everything in the program on your own. But I think the mix of getting the degree as a credential and benefitting from instructor feedback might make it worth it for some people depending on their situation.

Also if you are already an experienced developer I think you could do this program very quickly if you just want the piece of paper.
Proptional to their prices, probably very proportionate. If you want better service, choose another provider and pay the price that it costs to pay 1000s of customer support staff, sometimes to only answer things like "why can't I see my EC2 instance" or "Where can I find my invoices".

Personally, I have found both Azure and AWS to be pretty responsive to Customer Service, although AWS can be quite blunt with their replies like when we tried to get them to authorise allowing us to use EC2 instances as mail relays. "No, use SES" was the long-and-short of it.

Yes, both Bulgaria and Cyprus are without any doubt part of the west. Both are even part of the European Union. Claiming that they are not part of the west is laughable. Bulgaria is adjacent to Greece which is also part of the west. Culturally large parts of the Balkans are also part of the west.

That's also not to mention hopefully you never have to staff augment for junior-level tasks. Try hiring someone to correctly rack and stack an entire rack. You just end up re-doing it yourself or paying CDW to ship you an entire pre-assembled rack the next time.
