> The PR was bigger than what I felt I could sensibly review and, in honesty, my desire to go through the hours of work I could tell this would take for a project I no longer used was not stellar.

The PR: https://github.com/django-money/django-money/pull/2/files?di...

Do others share this sentiment?

This doesn't look like a particularly big PR to me, judging solely by the amount of code changed and the nature of the changes at first glance.

Are most of your PRs at work tiny, couple lines of code at most? Am I sloppy for not even consider reviewing this for "hours"? Are all code bases I have worked on sloppy because features often require changing more code than this?
Sandblock is a good name.
MyPy isn't quite as nice as typescript, and it also has some trouble with Django. I know it CAN work, but does any language have a worse type system? Maybe Ruby.

No, because the presented certificate won't have any SCT entries (which are embedded in the certificate), and you can't fake the SCT entries without having access to the CT private keys.

This is more US-based, I'm working for a QB competitor in France and let me tell you that they are going to be crushed at very high speed either by us or another similar modern competitor. They are going to lose the whole market within 5 years and TV ads won't help them. They are moving way too slowly for the market.
A side effect of this for the unbanked is probably that a new currency emerges that is used among those without access to banks. That could be just regular goods, or some other form of fiat money.
West coastal.

I recently made a $1300 transaction in cash, and while the business was able to accommodate me, it took them five minutes, two drawers, and creative accounting to generate $74 in change. They were surprised to see a cash transaction. $1300 probably puts me in the top 20% of their transactions.

I once lost my keys to my car, and called a locksmith, he drove a van out to the neighborhood and provided two new locks for a cost of $700. When I started putting cash out to pay he said "holy shit" and his mannerisms changed. He then insisted he is good for repeat business. Considering the interaction happened between 11pm-1am on a Wednesday, and he took no record of my identity, I wonder what type of repeat business he was expecting from me.

I often see trendy places with staff running around with a tile or square or whatever, often operating by a teenager. I'm unsure if they have cash, and if they know how to keep a drawer that would count correctly with receipts. I imagine some of them will straight up refuse cash.

There aren't all horror stories. Anyone working a cash register in a gas station, convenience store, smoke shop, or grocery store will actually be prepared to take your physical concurrency.

I appreciate the exuberant tone of this message but it’s not quite correct. Defibrillators can get upwards of 60% success rate if given in conjunction with effective CPR. There’s no getting around breaking ribs - defibrillators have to charge, you have to check the pulse and oxygen has to be given. You can’t leave someone pulseless for 60 seconds while you fetch and charge the defibrillator as they will die. All the first aid tools are used in concert.
Theoretically, space based networking can be lower latency then ground based (above a minimum distance) because of the differences in the speed of light in the two mediums.

I think "to the point of making Mussolini blush" gives enough background to take the comment seriously without demanding piles of documents.

Few Americans are aware even now of the role of IBM in mechanizing and tabulating the murder of Jews for the Nazis, and basically no Americans were aware of it then[0]. "They" who desire "symbiosis" between corporate power and government power - a better word would be fusion - are the same corporations who promoted fascism in the US and abroad throughout the 20th Century, whose continued efforts we can see daily through virtually all channels in our society.

Name one sphere of society in which corporate power has not merged with or overrun democratic governmental oversight. Name one environmental, social or economic battle that grassroots democratic movements or western governments have won against the corrosive force of corporate profiteering in the last 30 years.

Right. And CCS1 sucks, mostly just used in America where there are more NACS plugs anyway.

Adapters aren't a huge issue, but the base plug should be the most compact and simple one. NACS.
I agree. This is what the VR purists are missing: normal people are not going to spend about $2000 or more for a desktop gaming PC, and another $1000 for the VR headset and base stations. The setup even for techies isn’t easy and straightforward either. Wires are also no fun for VR

Regardless of how you feel about meta, it’s really impressive that they were able to ship a decent 6DOF, standalone, VR headset at $299 which is relatively easy to use for even normal people.

Going on a tangent, even after all this time people still don’t understand what the metaverse is. The metaverse is simply an AR / VR platform that has online access. That’s it. So this why Fortnite, voxels, and decentraland are NOT part of the metaverse, but Roblox, Minecraft, Rec Room, and Horizon are part because they all have VR support.
The offset addressing modes all start from zero. You could hack around it in some places by storing the pointer to an element before but that's clearly going against how it is intended to be used.

For example if you have an array that you cast between different sized types (e.g. uint64 to uint8) then you have to change the pointer value!
Sherpas are Tibetan, and romanizing Tibetan is notoriously difficult because the modern pronunciation diverges wildly from the writing and there are many dialects to boot. “bsTan-aDzin Nor-rGyas" is the Wylie transliteration, which represents the script accurately and is useful for scholars, but completely unpronounceable to the lay reader.
That's not screenshotting the actual terminal display buffer, and it relies on whatever one uses to do the conversion to process all of the escapes and control sequences in exactly the same way as the terminal emulator did.

There are some long standing bugs against the aha tool pointing out that it does not even come close; including not coping with switching to and from the alternate display buffer. No-one seems to have yet noticed that it doesn't recognize ED or EL or any relative cursor motions, so will have serious problems with things like ZLE in the Z shell, or just plain clearing the screen; or that it doesn't handle 24-bit colour in the same ways as some popular terminal emulators do.

The citizens need to have much more than the government and it needs to be widely held in a much flatter distribution of wealth.

Which is how it was supposed to start out to begin with.

How did things get to be the way they are?

Borrowing from Wall Street banks to fund excessive ambitions (such as the Civil War) which could not be paid back in a single generation just led to more of the same.

Something about regulatory capture. This isn't the first time the Treasury had less access to cash than the financial manipulators. Guess who has more power in that case?

To pay for government extravagance those in power got the bright idea of taxing earned income more so than capital, even though that was unconstitutional:

>The origin of the income tax on individuals is generally cited as the passage of the 16th Amendment, passed by Congress on July 2, 1909, and ratified February 3, 1913. However, its history actually goes back even further. During the Civil War Congress passed the Revenue Act of 1861 which included a tax on personal incomes to help pay war expenses but the tax was repealed ten years later. However, in 1894 Congress enacted a flat rate Federal income tax, which was ruled unconstitutional the following year by the U.S. Supreme Court because it was a direct tax not apportioned according to the population of each state. The 16th amendment, ratified in 1913, removed this objection by allowing the Federal government to tax the income of individuals without regard to the population of each state.[0]

Later that same year the Fed reared its ugly head:

>The founding of the Fed came in response to the financial panic of 1907, with advocacy from J.P. Morgan

>It was created on December 23, 1913 [1]

The panic of 1907 was a result of growing inequality to begin with.

This all proved to be not enough to satisfy creditors, then in order to devalue the dollars held by the citizens, gold needed to be made illegal to hold and was confiscated in exchange for Federal Reserve Notes in 1933.

So overall during a period of nearly 60 years, the massive wealth of the working citizens was systematically transferred to a government which was almost constantly in debt to those who could best afford bonds issued by the Treasury, redeemable only in Federal Reserve Notes.

Then basically sold for a profit in 1971 by Nixon, et. al.

And here we are.

I just have it running on an emulator on my machine, unfortunately.
I think it's a lost cause. People don't want to understand. It would shatter their worldview on both net worth of the rich (you can't tax imaginary money) and their own net worth.
Maybe the payment processor simply shouldn't know that.
It's not officially supported as I can't test it myself. It should work in theory but as far as I know it nobody got it to run yet.
Define law and lawful transaction. For one example, law is a changing thing and rapidly changing one. What was pretty legal activity at Canada for pretty long time was changed at the hands of the government into illegal activity quite quickly and, what is mostly concerning to me, that law even has a retroactive nature - accounts can be frozen based on the activities prior to the date law enacted.

In my not so humble opinion, payment processors should be transaction-blind - they should process any transaction and all transactions.
For sure. DNS is definitely something that should either be canned after 2 years, or protected by 50 captchas.

The CCS2 plug is fine, although not as good as NACS. CCS1 sucks and should just be abandoned in favor of NACS. There are huge downsides to using CCS1 especially. It costs more.

Also, Superchargers are not massively oversubscribed. Tesla is really good at installing enough stations. It's true that superchargers are actually used while many others tend to rot or sit broken, but overall the Tesla experience is far better.

Additionally, there isn't a problem with slower charge speeds. There are still a lot of 50kW CCS chargers where I live, all slower than even old Supercharging stations.
In the same way that TCP is obsoleted by WebSockets. Personally I'd prefer a solution which is neither of them.
If you don't want to run a compressor, your other option is dessicants. The difficulty there is you've got to 'recharge' the dessicants, and that usually means heating them, and you probably don't want to heat your space (although increasing the temperature does reduce relative humidity). From what I've seen, the typical way to recharge dessicsants is to heat inside air, pass it over the saturated dessicant and then discharge this hot humid air outside, and I guess hope the makeup air you get back is less hot and humid?

Maybe someone with such a system can chime in? I've only got a compressor based dehumidifier for my needs (basement humidity spikes in the summer when the temperature differential between the basement and the first floor is too great)

> Hindu institutions can do certain things but under restrictions that are not applicable to minorities. Again, this second-class treatment is considered to be "secular.

An argument can be made than Hindu institutions are already dominant and without certain laws curtailing what they can do/giving special privileges to minorities balances this out to some degree.

And analogy with company law/regulation could be made. Different rules generally apply to monopolies and corporations controlling majority of their respective markets than to smaller companies to prevent them from abusing their position.
That sounds like a PITA solution more than KISS. That said, I'd rather walk into that business and solve that problem, than walk into a business that is fully cloud serverless hooks all over the place.

So yes, Kiss is good until it isn't... because it wasn't kiss anymore. Moving to the postgres solution sounds like it's the new Kiss.

Clients do not get pre-certs. Those are generated by the CA, and submitted to the log in return for an SCT.
Forging a ‘fake CT log’ isn’t possible, either. Nor do clients talk to CT logs, at all.
> arithmetic is unary, and staying within the brainfuck virtual machine doesn't provide a way to do any better than unary arithmetic.

It won’t be efficient (but who cares about that in a true Turing machine?), but you can do binary/octal/decimal/whatever, using a series of cells each containing a number in the right range.

As an optimization, you can postpone any carries until you want to compare or print such numbers. Addition would ‘just’ loop over the cells in the numbers to be added, adding cells pairwise. For example, binary 11001 + 10101 would yield 21102.
What Canadian law are you referring to?
> The point you are missing is the payment processors should not even try to detect what the payment is made for. It should not be their job.

You're thinking about this as if the question is simply about whether or not payment processors should have the job of examining every individual payment. There's a potential discussion to be had there, but that's the only dimension of the topic, and one of the things we're talking about entire classes of activity.

If prospective clients like "Assassination Central" or "Doordash Blowjobs Inc" approach you as a payment processor, you might have some idea of what's going to happen. And in general payment processors have both an incentive and regulatory obligations to understand what kind of business they're facilitating, not to mention whatever individual inclinations they might have.

When it comes to something like Venmo, I'm not really sure how to handle that. I suspect invasivity isn't the only issue, it's also probably practically difficult to police effectively, but at the same time, if there were means by which reasonable correlations could be made, it's not clear to me that there's no activity whatsoever for which there's a case for flagging, however controversial which cases meet that criteria might be.

The author observes that User Experience Research has fallen from grace. They see that UXR has become disconnected from the business. Their belief is that understanding users isn't necessary for making a good product, and that UX Researchers enjoy answering abstract questions around the user that are only marginally useful. They conclude that UX Research needs to to perform low-level user interviews, focus on non-user strategy(?), talk in executive-friendly terms, and prioritize the business above users-- in order to be relevant once again.

Ironically, the author is quick to provide answers that please executives, and slow to offer dangerous questions that would displease them. Questions like how the company's short-term optimization was causing a long-term loss on user retention. Or how certain executive-sponsored beliefs were hurting user trust. Researchers who ask those questions tend not to stick around too long, even before 2021. Those who remain self-select into safer "middle" research; they and their department have been pummeled into submission by the organization.

The author turns a blind eye to this corruption; the author points the finger at researchers, not executives. The author also forgets the history that users made the business successful [1]. Today, however, the internal hierarchies and forward momentum of many tech companies depends on a selective understanding of users [2]. Good research slows down that momentum, it aims for good-enough understanding, it asks important questions. And when important questions collide with the status quo, they are not tolerated.

Or to put in simple terms, from a chief of staff to a middle manager: "Nevermind you 'why', why ain't in your repertoire no more".

Having just read a bit about what the heraldry rules are and the purpose they serve, it strikes me as very similar to the design ideas of transit maps in modern times. You want the lines to be easily distinguishable, certain colors shouldn't run side by side (so the conventional wisdom says), you choose only from a minimalist simple pallet. In most places, the maps are diagrammatic, the lines can be arranged in any way so long as they connect the right stations in the right order. Convergent evolution.
