Hmm, that does make sense. The other comment here said that this kind of change is almost impossible to happen is such as short amount of time, which makes sense. Maybe they were already planning for a change in strategy by the new CEO, and this just happened to be an appropriate time to get done with the change already.

edit: Oh well the other commenter was the new CEO LOL, not used to reading usernames. I guess that adds a bit of bias but I believe it's a true statement.
No, it’s not orthogonal. In Java, all reference types are implicitly optional. The explicit Optional type is only intended as a stop-gap in situations where the implicit version is especially error-prone. But in general it doesn’t make sense to have both the implicit and explicit solution, in particular when the explicit Optionals simultaneously also have the implicit optionality on top.

It’s exactly the presence of the implicit optionality that makes Optional nonviable as a general-purpose optionality mechanism (in addition to its performance implications).
Splitting deposits isn't the only option and is often not the best one. There are a number of other solutions available, including buying your own insurance. FDIC insurance isn't the only insurance available (and isn't even intended primarily for businesses). It's just the free one.
It's precise, and language should be precise: http://www.butte.edu/departments/cas/tipsheets/style_purpose....

Here's an example of the kind of thing Mackey was doing to defraud voters:

I don't know much about Circle and hold no resentment towards them, but this sounds very much like a "them" problem.

If you're operating a business that requires millions or billions of dollars sitting in a bank account, you can't plead ignorance around FDIC insurance and claim that you're just a small business trying to scrape by. Your business is open to a big risk, and there are well understood techniques for managing that risk. If you're a disruptive company who's trying to change the world and you don't fit into traditional finance, you find a creative way to deal with the risk. But if you _do nothing_ and keep all your money in a bank hoping they don't collapse, sorry, but that's accepting the risk.

I don't see this is a systemic failure. The system is set up to protect individuals and small businesses, with the expectation that larger companies can pay people to manage these risks. If Circle's CFO and finance team couldn't come up with a better solution than parking all their money at SVB, I'd argue it's a sign of Circle not being a viable business rather than a sign of some fundamental flaw with the banking system.
Yeah, but what you will actually get is the world transformed by AI with use of nuclear weapons (or whatever method AGI employs to get rid of absolutely unnecessary legacy parasitic substance that raised it aka humanity).
Then what about the existence of Konsole?
Curious, is SideFX Houdini similar to Blender? Why use one versus the other, if you don't mind answering.
CORS makes this difficult. For non-CORS enabled sites you would need to use a server-side proxy. But at that point why not do the filtering on the server to avoid transferring unnecessary data?

How to transition a team from Git-flow to trunk/CI-CD?
Hi all, this is my first job in a management position and I am feeling quite a bit of impostor syndrome, so I'd really love to get extra eyes on a plan to transition a team that uses git-flow with a weekly release cadence to transition to trunk and eventually ci/cd.

First, there are regular problems that occur in and around releases, so this isn't busy work, some form of intervention is necessary, and because managing branch hell is part of the problem and something that git-flow is known for, moving to automation with continuous release sounds like a reasonable step.

So my current plan is:

Step 1: Keep current release schedule, but treat develop as if it were main. Add feature flags and minimum daily commit to develop.

Step 2: Add CI/CD pipeline to non-live deployment, like blue green deployment.

Step 3: Add unit/integration test gates to deployment of step 2.

Step 4: Stay in holding pastern for few weeks to deal with any emergent problems, testing failures, etc

Step 5: Migrate fully to trunk based. Eliminate develop.

Any thoughts, criticisms, feedback?
When there's a PR person involved, truth goes away, double-speak comes in. Even in the case of YC, which in general is way better than most other organizations.
They're not quite the same, those two terms have taken on different meanings. "Fired" has come to mean "for cause", and "laid off" has come to mean "not for cause".
1. This is a smartphone, probably not a case for granny who used to live 10 years with Nokia 1100 because of too complicated everything.

2. E-ink is not that special type of display I want to talk about. They are expensive, slow, and (AFAIK) power-hungry if I want to use the display as a clock.
The new versions of their Starlink satellites with bigger and more advanced antennas will just pretend to be cell towers. Similar to a cruise ship or many aircraft (mostly outside North America).
For me and my converted familie. It is the same as WA but not FB. Well, except for that everybody just leaves that message for a PIN code verification open all the time and never do anything with it.
Quite easy actually when you look at the number of governments who rely on Matrix - https://element.io/case-studies/tchap, https://element.io/case-studies/bundeswehr and many more (US, UK, Sweden, Ukraine, Luxembourg, Finland…). But if your friends aren’t on it, i guess that means nothing.
Yeah, I don't believe you sold this for $65k - sorry. You just slapped a website on an AI generator? That's not worth 65k? Also there's no single explanation or hype around the inner workings of the product, which makes this look like either utter nonsense or a complete cash grab.
SVB insider says employees are angry with CEO
They're related, I suppose. But there's a real, meaningful difference between the two.
Same here, I've been using yarn for years, and when I started using venv, I didn't understand why it had to be so complex. Even after reading this article, I still don't see why it is so complex! Yarn/npm has the right idea: dependencies go in the working folder and expect that hierarchy/protocol. Problem solved. The only problem I have with yarn/npm is the problem any package manager has and that is the attrition of dependencies and how to rank their security risk.
> The FED making SVB depositors whole puts the burden on all of society

No taxpayer funds will be used. All the money being used to make depositors whole is coming from liquidation of SVB assets. There is no burden on society and the comparisons of this situation to the 2008 bailouts are just rage-bait.
Depends on the circumstances. I associate “fired” with a negative reason (e.g. performance, theft, harassment). “Laid-off” doesn’t carry the same connotation.
well put. It's a flawed system, but the only system that works.
Before conda, you needed a C and a fortran compiler, a BLAS and LAPACK installation, and various build tools, to install scipy. Scipy is one - 1 - dependency used in science and engineering. The pain used to be massive. Now, we’re complaining about the existence of 2 high quality (not perfect) alternatives, and pip (part of the official python distro) can install tensorflow etc, GPU libs included, with a oneliner.
That sounds really promising though, you convinced me. Will have a try.
Former Israeli PM Says US ‘Blocked’ His Attempts at a Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal
Passive voice afflicts many people's writing, not just corporations. Yes, it's a bad practice, but I don't feel it's egregious in this case.
>When asked if the Western powers “blocked” the mediation efforts, Bennet said, “Basically, yes. They blocked it, and I thought they were wrong.”

Explaining his decision to mediate, Bennett said that it was in Israel’s national interest not to pick a side in the war, citing Israel’s frequent airstrikes in Syria. Bennett said Russia has S-300 air defenses in Syria and that if “they press the button, Israeli pilots will fall.”
Begs the question, what do you think companies gain by using such passive language?
Who's that quote from? It's funny you should use that one, I happen to be an avid Tolkien nerd, starting around that age :D

Bit of a tangent, but it continues to amaze how relevant Tolkien continues to be to this day considering he started developing his legendarium almost a century ago now. Gender issues, sexism, addiction, free will, the allure of power and wealth, all explored in an amazingly prescient way that still stands up to scrutiny today.
Well, I'll take issue with your post as you captured the problem with the others. Where SVB was different than other banks is the absence of hedging. SVB's tier 1 capital was basically wiped out by a mark of the HTM portfolio, unlike other banks who suffered hits but far, far smaller.
Maybe you can grant him 9/10, but you always have to deduct some points for hiding behind euphemisms.
Fired -> Let go -> Laid off -> Impacted

I'll be curious to see what comes next.
fired usually means, with cause. laid off is for when a lot of people are getting cut at the same time because upper management asked to do big cuts
I read a lot of hackernews, for the technical part. But I never liked or believed in the VC/Startup bullshit. If HN had a filter just for technical stories, that would be great.

I never believed in the talk of “let the market decide”, “we invested in that startup to change the world”, “disruption”, “good product will win” and other nonsense.

Everything revolves around money, money and money. And there's nothing wrong with that, the problem is the bulshit not to assume it.

For now, every time someone starts with this kind of bullshit, I will submit the YCombinator petition to the government.
It's not actually easy though. If someone airdropped you 100M and told you to spend it on some policy initiative, you, UtopiaPunk, would probably not be able to figure out how to move that money to a successful political end in DC.
> This is just strange thinking to equate decline with some sort of technological leadership.

Technology is one of the best indicators of power, progress, societal dynamism and hope for the future.

> - The US is still at a trade deficit with Europe despite the strength in dominating Internet technologies.

Who cares? The US has trade deficits with mexico too.

> - US society is much more polarized than Europe both in economic equality and political affiliation.

Last I checked, there isn't a war in the US and the US didn't lose a member like europe did with brexit.

> Some like Spotify or Arm might ring a bell.

Arm is owned by nvidia. Spotify?

> So a European citizen can buy Apple stock and profit in the same way as an American one.

Is that what we are talking about? Trading stocks internationally?

Man, there are quite a few people here really hoping europe stays weak and stagnant - especially technology-wise. Wonder why. I guess trading apple stock is the same thing as being able to create apple.
This was interesting, saving user state back to the server.

Joint Leaders Statement on SSN-AUKUS [shiny new Australian nuclear subs]
You missed the important part - they added the ability to borrow while valuing collateral at cost. Previously it had to be valued at market price, which was not sufficient for SVB (because it was insolvent on the mark-to-market basis).
I wrote this guide on creating orthorectified imagery using just an iPhone, using a demo on George St, Sydney!

Usually this is easier with drones, but there are a lot of places you can't fly drones. I hope this guide comes in helpful, especially if you're contributing to OpenStreetMap.

I've found you can strap an iPhone to the front of a bicycle and if you go slowly the 3D models/LiDAR point clouds are quite good (it has a 5m range). There are drift issues if you try to complete loops though.
Congratulations on the launch!

Would it be possible to combine both a ducted system with a mini-split style head unit? Our ducting is old, undersized and with poorly located returns.
This looks/sounds neat, I'll be happy to keep an ear out on how you're doing.
The thing keeping me from anything more yet though: What's the ductless option like?

I don't have any ducts, just hydronic+baseboard heating currently (and a dual-hose portable AC unit for cooling). I'm looking at a mini-split setup, but that's a fairly daunting prospect for the issues you note with the existing market.

So where is the bailout for these impacted people? Wasn't it just recently that YC posted a plea to bailout so that people wouldn't be fired? And then they don't do one themselves?
If your customers actions are all highly correlated, you need to be planning for things like this. The fact that having your whole customer base in a single group chat is a bad business model for a bank should not be the taxpayers’ problem.
To be clear, my grandparent post is about how the two domains are obviously different. That's not the same as "obviously wouldn't work out"
What did they figure out? It's not clear to me that there's anything bad about people taking advantage of this arbitrage opportunity.
Maybe they weren’t fired? The way the post was worded has me wondering if they’ll be retrained and have their roles changed to fit YC’s new needs.
Yup.

Now Optane on the other hand...
Has the amount that it pays when it reaches maturity changed?

The yield curve has gone negative - the shorter term bonds are worth more than the longer term ones (and certainly the longer term ones bought back in 2021).

And if you were trying to sell me a 10 year note at 0.6% I'd want a serious discount because even your 7 year note at 3.86%, I can do better with a 3 month note at 4.794% or a 6 month note at 5.086%. https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/bond/tmubmusd03m?count...

But that's if you were trying to sell it now. The amount it will pay at maturity remains unchanged and in 10 years it will be worth exactly the same no matter what the financial history that brought it to that point was.
They also had to pay out significant interest to depositors. The graph of those outflows looks like a hockey stick. So seeking a high return on their assets wasn't unreasonable. Presumably if they had paid low interest on deposits, depositors would have moved their money to some other institution, leading to the same outcome.

Here's another source of the problem...Pumping trillions of active currency into the economy, over heating the CPI, and ignoring demand-side inflation (hey it's "transitory") for ideological reasons.
That is because most of the "news" is not original reporting any more. Everyone is just feeding off each other so if the store is not at site A, it will be on Site B through 184,284,756 of which at least one of them will still be sharable on Facebook, and in Google news thus the traffic will just move to those sites and users will share and engage with them losing nothing...
You think there is complaining now, what do you think would happen if you lost 1-3% of your principal each year forever. And what do you think would happen to society of all that capital was sitting around doing literally nothing instead of being available for others to borrow and use on productive activities?
It sounds like a much worse outcome for the pension fund, yeah.
You can `s/treasuries/mortgage-backed securities/g` into my comment and it doesn't change much, but my understanding is that they had a lot of treasuries (not to the exclusion of having MBSs).

Congrats. Looks really cool!

I'm curious how this compares to other efforts like this such as Streamlit? I do like the fact you compile to React/Next.js as that opens up the possibility of tapping into that rich ecosystem.

Also others have mentioned, and it might not be fair, but the name Pinecone (and variations) has sorta been taken at this point by the vector DB startup since they launched first. So I'd just bite the bullet and change this before the cost of switching rises later on.
My experience with flatpaks has been awful. Just about every app I have ever installed via flatpak has been broken in some manner because of the containerization. Some of them I was bothered to work around using flatseal but mostly I just uninstall them and use the slightly older but actually fully working version available via my distro package manager.
Yes, I've worked in multiple indie teams on various titles, I'm doing gamedev professionally, as well I'm solo dev making sideproject in spare time... on the span of 4 years or so.

My two cents - excluding people who "not work on their game full time" isn't very smart, most people have responsibilities and jobs, and can't afford to spend all the time on their pet project, and it doesn't mean they are not serious about releasing their games.

I wish you all the best on your development anyway.

I really love that they used a pic of CEO Becker from a recent Michael (ex-con, Junk Bond King) Milken Institute event.

>For their part, Sonnenfeld and Tian argue Jerome Powell, Biden’s pick to lead the Federal Reserve, and his colleagues deserve at least some of the blame.

“There should be no mistaking that Silicon Valley Bank’s collapse was a direct result of the Fed’s persistent and excessive interest rate hikes,” they wrote.

Why? Because the Fed’s war on inflation depressed both the value of the bonds Silicon Valley Bank was relying on for capital and the value of the tech startups the bank catered to.

Of course, Silicon Valley Bank had more than a year to prepare for both of those issues.

Exactly.
Here's how I would do it:

y: {
value: 100,
writable: true
},
});

if ('y' in testObj) { // Could also do `&& typeof testObj.y === 'number'` to be VERY sure.
const testObjWithY = testObj as typeof testObj & IOptionsY;
console.log(testObjWithY.y)
}
You are echoing bullshit driven by the VC freak out over the weekend. There are literally hundreds of ways that actual small businesses could have bridged this disruption.

In the US, “laid off” has a pretty substantially different meaning than “fired”.

“Laid off” usually means that the company shut down a group of roles, and the individuals happened to be in those roles and so lost their jobs.

“Fired” usually means that the individual was intentionally let go because of behavior / competence / etc. of the individual, not the group.

> What is the bad behaviour of the depositors? Trusting that their deposits were safe in a bank? This isn’t bad behaviour, the government wants people to think that bank deposits are safe. Safety of bank deposits is really important to the economy.

Yes, it is exactly this bad behavior. The gov has only guaranteed safety up to $250k. Any entity exceeding this limit does so at their own risk. By depositing far above the insured limit, you are allowing that bank to transact with your money. The banks loans it out. So by definition those consumers thay ignored the limits incentivized the bad behavior.

Had this bank started losing customers because they faced insolvency risks, they may have changed their behavior. The market provides a feedback loop.
It’s all about “listening” to the users with quotes because it doesn’t necessarily means face to face communication. Although f2f is best for relation building, it can’t really scale.

Data are everywhere these days and you should be gathering as much as you can(emphasis in can, it can be expensive). Take Google Analytics for example added to a blog, you can see your most read articles and write more of those, see where people exit and take action, setup interaction tracking and see what buttons are working best. You can do AB tests and compare results between two comment forms.

Same logic applies to a product as well.

But then it’s not just analytics and valuable information can be extracted from everywhere. Look at your DB and see what people have been storin (being cautious on prívacy laws). Gather NPS and see what feedback you’re getting from there.

Big companies usually have departments focused on data gathering and analysis, but even for smaller products, I would say that the best thing you can do is being data driven. Try to base your decisions with data that make sense.

All the best
