Yea BoA is not the most consumer friendly bank. I specifically have checking accounts with 4 different banks to capitalize on the various services they all offer, and to avoid being caught by a bank run type situation (or even just a bank’s services being down for a technical reason).

Arguably, one can't truly say the GC is optional, unless the language and its libraries were designed to work without it. In languages like Vlang, that's the case, as the GC was added later. If turning the GC off cripples the functionality and usefulness of the language, then there is little point in using the option or claiming it as optional.

Probably a better argument for Go (and other languages like Java) is how "tweakable" the GC is or at least describe it as the GC can be turned off, but it's not designed or useful to do so.

Fun fact: Conventional microwaves always microwave on full power. They just flip the magnetron on/off to reduce power output.

If you want the microwave to actually reduce the power output rather than using pulse width modulation, you need to make sure you've got an inverter microwave.

>A counterpoint — every day tons of financial disputes are handled by banks and insurance companies. Unlike with government, no violence is involved, and things go well. Why involve governments and violence when we can avoid the bad things without violence?

Good point, maybe the private financial institutions (or more!) of the country should lean into this and offer a shadow legal system whereby anyone can bring suit for any allowable reason with the ultimate threat being a sort of (nonviolent!) exile from digital society. That could surely not go wrong.
This is why companies should not run their own forums. It's cheap support and marketing, it's not really community.

I don't understand your complaint. Oppenheimer was a good physicist but nothing spectacular. The idea he did novel worthy stuff (whatever that means anyway) is not much shared by professional physicists, whatever their politics.
Joey is one of my favorite developers, you may not agree with him but you gotta respect a man with strong convictions.
ACH has been next day for like 2 years now at least with every bank and employer I’ve used. I’m sure there’s some banks that didn’t join the next day system, but I haven’t experienced it. Then again being part of a credit union has lost a lot of its allure these last few years, so maybe that’s where you’d see that sort of thing more.
The knowledge of hindsight can be a curse. Don't forget that Oppenheimer is to a certain extent seen as the guy who is responsible of giving humanity the tools to kill itself a thousand times over.

The fact that we didn't is good luck, but it could have gone different during many points in the cold war and then you and I wouldn't be able to discuss about this on here. But if you knew about Oppenheimer and still were alive you would probably not think highly of the man.

So it doesn't have to do with anti-nuclear (as in: against civil nuclear use) — Oppenheimer was just the prototypical smart guy that failed to predict the consequences of his own actions and by that nearly ended humanity. This makes him an ethically ambivalent figure, and that ambivalence has become a defining trait of the public image of Oppenheimer.
Wait, really? Like baby bottle nipples?
I don't think you are drawing the right parallels here. RTGS is only meant for transactions where sums to be transferred are very large. It only accounts for 0.24% of all transactions. While UPI and IMPS guarantee instant payments and account for 57.27% of all transactions.

Which is also a bit funny seeing as Oppenheimer was opposed to the H-bomb and the whole nuclear arms race.

Also regarding language design, C.Hoare on language safety, with am indirect jab to C, in his 1980's Turing Award speech.

"Many years later we asked our customers whether they wished
us to provide an option to switch off these checks in the interests of efficiency on production runs. Unanimously, they urged us not to--they already knew how frequently subscript errors occur on production runs where failure to detect them could be disastrous. I note with fear and horror that even in 1980, language designers and users have not learned this lesson. In any respectable branch of engineering, failure to observe such elementary precautions
would have long been against the law."

I don't agree, at least in general. There are companies who leverage their workforce to get tax benefits and other benefits from countries, regions, and even municipalities. They leverage their worker's pay and disposable income, and the way they can manipulate their workers on where to pay taxes and where to spend their salary, to get benefits and privileged treatment from government and state institutions.

Your lease means nothing if your tax break is greater than your office rent.
Yeah I don't think it's fair to compare him that way. Einstein on the other hand benefited a lot from the timing of when he was born and started working in physics. His work was very much built upon that of others... Maxwell discovered the relationship between electromagnetism and light, Michelson inadvertently proved 'c' was a constant, Lorentz described the transformations between frames of reference and effects like time dilation and length contraction. It sounded like Lorentz was on the verge of special relativity but just couldn't accept the universe being that weird. I think what it took was not a super-genius, but someone smart who was willing to embrace the weirdness and take these ideas together to their logical conclusion.
I’m 52. It’s booming. I’m constantly being offered interviews. I’ve switched jobs 3 times in the last 4 years and was by far the top candidate for each role and was able to leverage multiple offers.

Ironical that same system in Russia, was built (around 5 years ago) using _exactly_ same set of technologies (and many others of course). Central Banks fucking loves IBM
Besides the fact that now all AMD Zen 4 CPUs have AVX-512, there is one mistake in the text.

It is claimed that the only MSR (model-specific register) that can be read by non-privileged code is the TSC (time-stamp counter). This is wrong. Since Pentium Pro (1995), there is also the non-privileged instruction RDPMC (Read Performance-Monitoring Counters) which reads any of the MSRs that are performance counters, i.e. which are used for benchmarks or for profiling the code.

Moreover, the instruction RDTSCP, already mentioned there (introduced initially in an AMD Opteron family), reads not only the TSC, but also a second MSR, which normally contains a number that identifies the hardware core/thread on which the code is run. This other MSR can also be read separately with the non-privileged instruction RDPID (Read Processor ID).

Recent CPUs may also provide non-privileged access to a few other MSRs, e.g. with RDFSBASE/RDGSBASE (Read FS/GS Segment Base), WRFSBASE/WRGSBASE (Write FS/GS Segment Base), RDPKRU (Read Protection Key Rights for User Pages), WRPKRU (Write Data to User Page Key Register) and others.
Same! I've had my first server there for 10 years now. They added a lot of stuff in the meantime, they have AWS-like things you can do. But in terms of launching a VM that just works, they are a great choice.
What’s interesting is Rossman says in a follow up video that his affiliate link account was killed soon after publishing that video. So not only are they watching his videos, but they’re petty enough to respond that immaturely.

Your existence is valuable to me for, if nothing else, potentially interesting Hacker News discussion. I wish your comment was a better example of that. I am engaging in the hopes you can do better.

Throughout the pandemic, my family and I have been careful about being around others. We have masked with N95 or KN95 masks when we couldn't stay home. I cut my beard for a better fit. We got vaccinated as we were able, and enrolled one of our children in a vaccine trial (he wound up in the control group). We have tested pretty often, and as best we know none of us has contracted the virus. I'm meeting my responsibilities to society around not spreading coronaviruses.

I'm also trying to meet my responsibilities to society around engaging with issues honestly. It's disheartening to see people who probably share my position on an issue behaving poorly.
Pretending that downsides don't exist is more likely to lose you the argument than win it. Spouting abuse and insults means people stop listening. Please do better.

But that for me is really the point. Even if Lorentz had the math right, he didn't have the explanation, which Einstein delivered. And that's the valuable part in science. Having a model that explains the world better than previous models.

I never thought to make friends with people who's only common thing with me is that they shop at the same place. Companies creating a "community" is exactly as you described.
Ok as long as we’re getting conspiratorial, something similar I observed has bugged me.

About a year ago fly awarded a few people in the forums, I think it was 3, the “aeronaut” badge. Basically just pointless bling for a “routinely very helpful” person or somesuch. Still, I can imagine it was cool to get it. No, it wasn’t me.

One person I saw with it absolutely deserved it: this person is, to this day, always hopping in and helping people; linking to docs; raising their own issues with a big dose of “fellow builder” understanding and empathy; that sort of person. My own queries typically led me to a thread that this person has answered. In short - the kind of helpful, proactive, high knowledge volunteer early adopter that every community needs - and a handful are blessed to find.

Then one day I saw this same person had offered — to one random newbie with build problems in one of the many HALP threads — a reply like, “maybe Fly isn’t the best option for you. here are some other places that can host an app”.

The thread was left alone and faded, like many when a lost newbie is involved. But 1 day later, I noticed this tireless early adopter no longer had their “aeronaut” badge.

I still refuse to believe my own eyes about something that petty.

I moved to Europe in 2018. The banking system is decades more advanced than the US. At least where I am, no restaurant will “split a check” and one person is expected to pay. We settle the bill between each other in a matter of seconds.

Most bills are paid using this exact system. Credit cards are very rarely used except in-person. Since you have to accept (or tell your bank to always accept certain vendors) debits using this system, there’s never any surprises. You usually have nearly a week to accept a debit.
Is that really the only rationale for this bill? Why does this it dilute stronger worker protection laws in the name of uniformity and not the opposite?

I tried using kubernetes a while back for hosting a side project on a raspberry pi. I guess technically I was running microk8s on the pi and had to install kubectl locally to interact with it.

I actually like some of the concepts, like pods and ingress, but one thing I noticed that I didn't like, as far as I remember, was that there's not really a good way in kubernetes to make your YAML more dynamic. Apparently you're supposed to use these other things like Helm Charts, which isn't even part of kubernetes?
This conversation strikes me as unlikely on several levels. First, no one would have coached you on "how to interview at Oxide" because that's not where the process starts -- it starts with you preparing your materials.[0] (Our review of the materials constitutes ~95% of our process.) Second, we have always been very explicit about compensation (that is, we ourselves brought it up early in conversations); no one at Oxide would tell you to "not bring it up" because everyone at Oxide knows that it is a subject dealt with early in the process. And finally, this is all assuming that you were talking to someone before March 2021, when we published our blog post on it.[1] After the blog post, compensation simply doesn't come up:
everyone has seen it -- and indeed, our approach to compensation is part of what attracted them to the company!
