One of the reasons I have a lot of credit cards and bank accounts is to work around this sort of problem. It happens a lot. Between the bank, the vendor and the (possibly many layers of) payment processors inevitably something goes wrong in the plumbing.

Instead of wasting my time with CS bots I just try another card.

(The other reason to have multiples of everything is to take advantage of the slightly different features they have.)
Or maybe because of a decisive amount of extra convenience a good, at-home setup provides to some.

Sure, we could all do fit without any trainers, groups, studios, videos or even any equipment – why maintain a bike when you can just run or walk quickly? – but for mysterious reasons, that's just not how all people and their motivation work.

(Sidenote, from what I gleaned lately, and while I would never use this reasoning to claim a Peloton is remotely cheap, it does not even seem laughably expensive next to bikes in a comparable percentile).
Note that by the time "normal people" really felt the 2008-2009 recession, the stock market was already bottomed out and going back up. Just something I keep in mind.

It is naive for anyone to view a job as anything but transactional. Do you expect your employer to isolate you from economic storms? Would the people who worked at BigTech during the boom times have been better off not getting hired and making at least 3x-5x the median wage?

I was hired at BigTech in 2020 going straight there from a 60 person company. I have used every single penny of my signing bonus + RSUs since then to improve my financial condition. I kept my resume up to date and my network strong.
Venus has the smallest average distance from each point of the Earth's orbit to the nearest point on the other planet's orbit. I.e. whenever we're shown a diagram of the solar system, the "circle" that is Venus's orbit is closest (has the most similar size) to that of Earth's. I don't know the correct term for this measure.
It is a matter of definition. The time signatures all have conventions for where the pulses are and what the feeling of repetition is.

The reason it's mostly 4/4 is that the 4/4 measures sound self-contained. And then you have an abbreviated 2/4 turnaround.

So yeah, you could definitely notate it 11/4 if you want, but that would be a bit confusing to musicians used to thinking in shorter bars.

I was hoping for more from the article. It lacks pretty much any detail that might actually prove to be a lesson.

It cites a layoff, a change in the stock price, and a few assumptions about how Foley generally isn't good at their business operations. Then it goes into vague platitudes about how a business is more than an idea. It doesn't mention anything of substance.

Works for the clickbait though.
The American government, including the political, bureaucratic and the judicial sectors, seems quite eager to implement the Chinese system of mass surveillance and control of the population, and would do so immediately if given the chance.

Incidentally, this warrantless camera surveillance of specific targets is fairly similar to the current practice of private companies engaging in surveillance of all kinds of online communities, then selling their collected data to the FBI, which thus avoids the need to go before a judge to get a warrant.

If you are working with an single page app, you can open a modal window and change the href without navigation by calling `history.pushstate`.

```

Moreover, modals serve one very important UI purpose in that they keep the user's mind in a context.
Sure. And I would add that application identifiers can be a different problem domain. `app-dev.houston-1.example.com` would be a perfectly reasonable name for an application, whether it resolves to a host or a load balancer or a CDN endpoint or whatever. The underlying machines I still don’t really care about; they will register their availability in the cluster or whatever automatically, or else they’ll get names like “db” and “web” in the docker-compose file, or what have you. But sure, where a human might reasonably need to enter a name for a resource in order to access it, a brief descriptive name makes sense.

I have found that localities in the U.S. are very different when it comes to this kind of behavior. It is part of the friction of doing business in that you don't know what is actually required to get anything done.

That said, I also do business outside of the U.S. and it is dramatically different trying to figure out how to get anything done in some countries and how much extralegal activity is necessary.

I have found that self-taught programmers are better at debugging as they frequently had no one to turn to when learning as compared to someone who started studying in university. They are frequently also more passionate about programming than someone who just studied at school to get good grades or to secure a job.

But agree with other comments that if you are completely self-taught you will likely miss some fundamental knowledge which is crucial when you go from working on small side-projects to building large systems.

No different from "the team that built that is all gone, they left no doco, we assumed X, added the feature you wanted, but Y happened under load" , which happens a lot in companies pushing to market older than a minute.

A 5% buyback does not explain a 100% increase in share price.
It isn't a fallacy, it is due to incentives. The stock market reacts to the stories companies tell them and well received stories lead to higher stock prices in the short run so executives cash out during the good times, either by selling stock or demanding higher compensation.

As always, incentives matter.
This sounds way too much like a marketing text that a real evaluation.

"However, Java has several features that make it an ideal language for large-scale enterprise applications, such as its ability to run on a virtual machine"

The ability to run on a virtual machine isn't something that is unique (or even special) to Java. Python can be run on a virtual machine as well, heck even assembler can be run on a virtual machine.

Sounds to me like the author simple doesn't understand the concept of the JVM.

AFAIK, VO+Command+Return can be used to select multiple things, not to click. For example, in the file viewer (Finder.app, similar to Nautilus/explorer.exe), it is similar to pressing Control (win/linux) and the left mouse button when the cursor is over a file to add it to the selection.

Edit: To open a page in a new tab in a Firefox with stock VoiceOver, I need to press VO+Shift+M to open context menu (aka right-click menu), and then select an option from the list (by greping, using arrows etc.).
It probably doesn't help that the bar for sustainability was raised from 'generates any profit, ever' to 'generates a few % profit per USD invested each year, eventually'.
Either your comment is apolitical or you're saying you're fine with everything happening in politics right now, and I somewhat doubt the latter.
I love the irony here.

Regardless, if you need to engage, do so at the obvious point of engagement, not off in some test suite where you cross your fingers on predicting the future on the diligence of its upkeep.

I mean write the test, do your rain dance. It's not going to protect you against the stupidity you have to worry about, X years after you've left the building.

Your code will live longer than you think and be modified more times by more people, who you will never meet, then you realize.

You don't have to feel responsible for that. But I do and that's one of the examples of how I practice it. You're leaving notes for future archaeologists to remove their guesswork.

Again, tests are great, linters are fine, but your nth generational successors may not agree with you or how you did them or how often they should be run or... and there goes your hardwork. Don't rely on them for assuring protection past your tenure.

Future coders are probably 10 times more likely to curse you as a nuisance than appreciate your diligence. Assume they'll hate you.
That's a shallow knee-jerk interpretation of what I was actually referring to.

Put my remarks in the context of a startup that has a limited runway and needs to choose between working on something that would appeal, entice and attract the majority of their target user base and trying to accommodate the needs of the fraction of the same. You can "boo" all you want, but their choice will be obvious, as it should be perfectly understandable, even for people from the second group.

Ah, a gratuitous personal attack, the best way to strengthen any argument.
You will probably get a lot of varied responses and also some people who just defend the language of their choice.

Let me give you my opinion who just started learning 3 weeks ago. And I needed around 1 week until I could write a simple parser by hand and around 2 more until I am now being quite productive in this new language.

It is actually very simple go get into, depending on your experience. What do mean by 'threshold for beginners', what are beginners for you. Do you mean someone learning their first programming language or someone already proficient with one or multiple trying to learn Rust now? Because a lot of the features of Rust are present in other language and your mental models will be similar enough for them in Rust accelerating your learning curve. Of course someone new to programming will have problems as the features that are unique to rust (borrow, move) in addition to everything else leads to a lot of overhead sure.

My experience is with Java, Python and Javascript/Typescript as I know them sufficiently well to create programs and I also dabbled with many other languages just trying out how they feel (Scheme, Racket, Nim, Go, Haskell, C, C++, Ruby, Smalltalk).
When starting with Rust it took very little time to get comfortable. The language feels very well designed and Option, Result type are very logical to use for return types. Many languages have these so depending with what you are familiar with this might be new to you but it is surely not more complicated than explaining try/catch blocks. Of course dealing with Option/Result is a bit uncomfortable in the beginning but If you just browse a bit through the standard library and learn about the `?` operator you see many patterns how to deal with them in an efficient manner (map, map_or_else, or, or_else, flatten, unwrap, unwrap_or,...).
Rust has closures but now you find them in almost any language so it is not really surprising (maybe only nuances that come up with the borrow checker).
Most of the standard traits and enums are quite straightforward such as `Default`, `From`, `FromStr`, `Iterator`, `Clone`, `PartialEq`, all the operator traits.

Also the borrow checker and some lifetime compiler errors are for sure a thing that can lead to thresholds and for my time spent with the language I would say there are many things I will need to learn to fully be able to grok the language. However, most of the time you can circumvent these problems by just not using lifetimes in your own code and by cloning variables. So for people that want to write really efficient code you can do this without cloning variables if you have a better understanding of them but as a beginner you have a simple escape hatch most of the time and allows you to gradually gain a better model of lifetimes/borrowing rules.

I think the only really threshold is the trait object problem. If you want to build any kind of nested structure or if you want some kind of "polymorphism" which is a natural reaction depending which programming language you have used. You will need to deal with understanding them and this might take some time.
74-79, with an average of 76

“Halley's orbit period is, on average, 76 Earth years. This corresponds to an orbital circumference around the Sun of about 7.6 billion miles (12.2 billion kilometers). The period varies from appearance to appearance because of the gravitational effects of the planets. Measured from one perihelion passage to the next, Halley's period has been as short as 74.42 years (1835-1910) and as long as 79.25 years (451-530).”

Speaking about empathy, might want to use some to get his point. He isn't talking about himself. He is talking about a typical software business making business decisions.

If adding support for accessibility delays their product delivery, or raises their costs, it's another tradeoff that might even kill their product. And then it wont be a case of the software not being accessible to those needing those features, but it not being accessible to anybody.

Sure, where the law mandates it, they can always do a half-ass job to be, in name, compliant. But full (or proper) accessibility will be judged in the end like any other feature decision.

You might consider those features essential, but you'd be surprised how many business features get cut to get something out, even more so for an MVP.

If you think those designing most websites and apps people use are made by "more compassionate people" who'd jump on such features out of ethical concerns, you'd be quite off.

Heck, this very website (HN) has a quite bad accessibility track record even considering the average website. Among other things: image elements do not have [alt] attributes, form elements do not have associated labels, links do not have a discernible name.

And this is from a major VC company with tons of resources, and a place where thousands upon thousands of devs frequent.

So, while everybody can get their "morally superior and empathetic" rocks off judging the parent, the reality is more like what's described above. It isn't bad if somebody points to the reality - or to the hypocrisy, if we're to see it ethically.

1. you can certainly implement good user interface accessibility in both page-based websites and single-page applications, the latter requiring time, knowledge, and proper prioritization within the project

2. once again, there is a failure here to recognize which use cases are best served by a website (i.e., a set of web pages that use native browser navigation) or by a single-page application (which takes native UI paradigms such as multiple windows and modals and implements them using web technologies)

3. blanket criticism for single-page applications often comes from people who have no real understanding of web development and harbor nostalgia for the "good old days" when browsers acted only as display devices for server-generated HTML strings; those people aren't worth arguing with, I don't have time for them, I'd rather spend my time improving web technologies so that more people can implement applications that feel "native" yet work across different architectures, devices, screen sizes, languages, and writing directions, built on top of a platform that is privacy-centric by default, and not controlled by a single company
>I find it amusing seeing so many otherwise intelligent people so upset about a fact that contradicts their intuition.

It's not quite that. It's a semantic issue. Colloquially, people think of "the closest planet" as a planet having an orbit closest to that of earth's, whereas the article proposes a different definition of 'average distance' between the planetary bodies. Both definitions are correct, but I argue that the former definition is actually better as it conveys more information about the structure of the solar system, and is more intuitive.
Sure, but you can neglect to do it or get it wrong. The language could expose primitives that don’t allow it instead.

In practice, where I work we disallow the go keyword in review and require use of a wrapper that takes in a closure and also is a wait group. It’s much harder to get wrong.

I pay $17/mo for my local gym, they have weights, machines, and cardio equipment. I paid around $900 for my actual bike.

Exercise bikes have been overpriced for a long while, and Peloton moved that price point to the moon when they first came out. Around $2k depending on how early and what model you bought one. That's more than a riding lawn mower. You're trying to tell me that the material costs and complexity and warranty work on a Peloton costs more than a riding lawn mower? Come on.
+1 for asking the correct questions! Of course leaders of companies understand the current economic downturn and they to some degree can predict future economic problems better than the average citizen.

While hiking yesterday I was talking with a friend about history, and how all great empires turn to “looting” as their influence wanes. There is plenty of data for this point of view: USA, England, France, Middle Ages powers, Romans, etc.

Just as elites in a declining power will naturally “loot” as much as they can to ensure the long term economic well being of their family, doesn’t it make sense that corporate leaders will cut staff, and generally extract as much profit as they can short term?

Some would say that choosing being unproductive when you could be productive IS immoral. Not only does Benjamin Franklin jump to mind, but the entire Protestant-informed culture of “the West”. Japan’s culture is also infused with a productivity mindset.
The crisis is that their costs are now much higher but the going rate is the same so they’re now losing money.
