A high and growing debt burden on the US government has been true for decades, that hasn't changed, what seems to have more impact is exactly the erosion of governance. The constant stand-offs holding the budget hostage isn't a thing that happens with other AAA-rated governments, it's pretty unique to the USA and has been happening constantly for the past decade+.

I believe what the other comments mentioning "at the very top" mean is that it's there on the by-line, not buried somewhere else in the report. To me it makes sense to call it "at the very top".
Sure, I absolutely believe that if you create a "ransom" situation, some percentage of those extorted will pay the ransom where otherwise they would not gift you the ransom.
That does not imply it's good for your business.

Besides putting the business in a negative light for the new convert, I imagine a subset of those would feel more entitled than before. I probably would - if I had to give you something to convert my picture "for free", I would definitely feel entitled to good results. I would be far more likely to complain/badger customer assistance in case of insufficient (for my needs) results.
As I get on in my years, I start to believe that emacs proponents are just masoschists in disguise.
Now we have HashiCorp Vault that serves this purpose and uses shamir.
I wonder why more people aren't talking about this
I'm going to have disagree with you on misspellings. AI can trivially replicate them (the Elizabot you used to get on old school BBSes would make deliberate mistakes/corrections) and they just make it ever so slightly harder for your audience to parse what you've written. If nothing else - expect/except sounds quite different from a screen reader.

>A lot of the reason that time seems to pass more quickly as we age is that we have fewer and fewer novel experiences

Experiential reference grows, reducing what "a long time" really means. At ten years old, a year is one tenth your life experience. At fifty years old, it is one fiftieth. Pretty simple.

Agreement on the novel experiences. They do seem to reset the clock.
Why would we not want "low volume" SMBs? Many of the SMBs on our platform grow to be much larger businesses. Ignoring a massive sector of businesses who might one day be the next "big thing" would be foolish for one thing and an unwise financial decision for another.

That's why you can sign up as a small business on stripe.com today whereas on other platforms you need to talk to their sales team (and be generating serious revenue) before getting close.
Then Stripe would just pull an Adyen and only allow such businesses. They don't and support millions of happy and legitimate SMBs. Yes, they won't get white glove treatment but don't write off the fact that Stripe is and wants to be supporting SMBs.
I only recently stumbled across <details> and I have to say, it's cool to have that available in vanilla HTML.
>> Overall, I feel like the latter points could be easily addressed by establishing communication mechanisms that don't rely on physical monitoring of a person.

You're certainly not alone in feeling this way. But communications online and inoffice are different.

For example, when I skype an employee there's an automatic formality to it. "The boss is calling". If I bump into an employee in the office (even if I deliberately bumped) it's a lot more relaxed. They can read my body language and I can read theirs.

I'm not saying we can't communicate online clearly we do. But the quality of the communication is impaired.

Regarding promotions, there's formal stuff (you've been here 6 weeks so you're now a senior developer) and the informal (hmm new project coming up, I'm wondering who to make team leader..) In the latter case it's easier to choose someone you know, have observed, seen their interactions with teammates etc.)

That doesn't mean you have to be in the office, but its really hard to do the informal stuff over the Internet. And that stuff -really- matters.
Back in the 00s, the transition to lead free solder was blamed for the high failure rate of BGA packages found in consoles and GPUs.

One of the theories at the time was that the poor thermal design of these devices (the most notable example being the Xbox 360) lead to cracks in the solder balls after repeated thermal cycling.
Very surprising to me was that there is a semantic difference in <i> and <em> (the same is also the case with <b> and <strong>) apparently, also PDA readers for e.g., blind people are also aware of this semantic difference.

What was also surprising is that there is a Slider as well as Color picker element.

Fair enough i am not much of a web person myself, but i know that a lot of webpages have their own custom JavaScript implementation of those elements (if needed).
No, that's pretty much what they do. The problem is that you're a small business that doesn't make a ton of money, and they only make <1% of that, which is almost nothing, so if they even vaguely suspect you of anything they burn down your house just to be sure.

The solution to this would be something like account number portability, similar to phone number portability. You have an account with a payment processor, you have a dispute with them, you port your account to a different payment processor and your customers never know the difference. Which you could also do if a competitor offered better rates, which is why they typically don't offer this.

But if they weren't dicks they would. In general, but especially if they expect to be able to drop you without being accused of malice.

A company shouldn't be able to lock you in and then shut you down. One or the other, never both. And, of course, they have to be able to do the second one, so they should never be able to do the first one.
Most of theses degrees are BS. They only exist to meet migration metrics to developed countries

Quoting from the the USD homepage:

"Well-known file formats for interchange in the VFX industry like OBJ, FBX, and Alembic primarily deal with interchanging flat/cached geometry, with no facility for assembling assets or editing the data directly. USD does serve the role of an “interchange file format,” more comprehensively than previous public efforts, because it already interchanges not only geometry, but also shading/materials, lights, rendering, linear-blend skinning and blend-shape animation, rigid body physics, and is extensible along numerous axes."

Basically, glft is primarily designed for sharing individual 3D geometry, while USD is designed for sharing whole 3D scenes and is designed in a way that lots of different departments can collaborate on different parts of the same scene at the same time.
> it's an extremist framing.

I see it as expressing a feeling. "It feels like it's us vs them".

I don't know, I understand "extremist" as a pretty serious criticism ("I don't want to listen to that guy, he is an extremist"). But the author doesn't call for invading the Capitol, he is merely saying that he doesn't like how the commercial Web evolved.

Maybe it's more of a "purist" framing?
Ian 'Hixie' Hickson gave his view on the future of the web in January this year in a public Google doc titled "Towards a modern Web stack" [0]. On its HN submission (referencing the wrong URL, so I resubmitted [1]) he defends against criticism [2]

Quoting from the doc here's the stack:

- WebAssembly (also known as Wasm) provides a portable compilation target for programming languages beyond JavaScript; it is being actively extended with features such as WasmGC.
- WebGPU provides an API (to JavaScript) that exposes a modern computation and rendering pipeline.
- Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) provides an ontology for enabling accessibility of arbitrary content.
- WebHID provides an API (to JavaScript) that exposes the underlying input devices on the device.

This document proposes to enable browsers to render web pages that are served not as HTML files, but as Wasm files, skipping the need for HTML, JS, and CSS parsing in the rendering of the page, by having the WebGPU, ARIA, and WebHID APIs exposed directly to Wasm.

Pretty simple, but that would mean that an experienced minute would go 50 times as fast, and that is not the case.

Also (as I tried to get at in a sibling comment), I don't see how this would work internally. Why would time perception be relative to all experience? What is the use of that, and how would it be accomplished? Why don't we have this with other sensory input, such as vision or hearing?

Every item on Uber eats is a dollar or two more than if you were there in person, instead of making it up with a higher delivery fee. boo.

Extensibility is the problem here. Either you force everyone to use the a limited set of UI controls (won't happen) or you need to allow some way to create custom UI controls, which leads to JS (or some other programmable system).
A lot of wishful thinking around these corners
There is something nice about plain old <button> default look and feel. It probably is the kind of feedback they give, that does not require me to always roll my eyeballs elsewhere for confirmation, that my click did actually cause some action to start.
Much, most even, of Wikipedia isn't mere dates and velocities.

There are statements about events and these statements can be framed in many ways.

( Disclosure: I'm Australian and take a dim view of both sides of the US political aisle. )

The opening framing of this interview by Glenn Greenwald discusses the political weaponisation of 'facts' as a recent problem on wikipedia.

His example is his claim that for many many years his wikipedia bio was stable in the sense that edits of past events in his life were uncommon, most activity centred on new and recent events.

He asserts that once he was seen as having shifted from the US left after having expressed skepticism about RussiaGate* his wikipedia page saw frequent rewrites of things far in his past, events were described in a manner to shed a negative spin, etc.

* (as I recall he downplayed its importance with the position that 'we' (the USofA) have always done this to Russia and Russia has always meddled with the US)
This rating is just an opinion of some organization. I have an opinion too: I think the US government has a credit rating of AAA.

Why?

- The US government can produce as much currency as it needs to because it's a sovereign country. Hence, there is not immediate risk of default.

- And even if the US government couldn't produce any more dollars, there are plenty of other ways to get hold of the circulating dollars. After all, Congress can pass laws to raise taxes, seize assets, etc.

I remember my first introduction to YKK zippers was an image of Kylie Minogue in a red leather jacket, from Smash Hits circa 1988.

People like to moan about "the cloud" or the "apple tax", then moan about how they lost all their irreplaceable images when they lost their phone.

Most of the time the complaint is that apple forces you to use icloud and back up everything.
What's the advantage of cutting it into disks? I'm curious because I cook it longwise pretty frequently.
Yeah, this is quite fascinating and formed my opinion on childhood education. I always just assumed you could learn language later in life, but apparently it's impossible. So there's some crazy advantage early education has, but it's not yet clear what it is.
I think the idea is rather, that you "extend" by composing primitive elements, and not that you change the primitive elements. Kind of like "composition over inheritance".
Actual citation needed.
It's all relative: the "high temperature" is high compared to absolute zero (~77 K higher), but much lower than "room temperature" (which is defined as around 20° C). And of course these are separate categories, because room temperature is another ~220 K higher than "high temperature" (and also because "high temperature semiconductors" are common by now, whereas "room temperature semiconductors" remain the holy grail).

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I really just can't get into squash. I've tried oven roasting it in every kind of way possible (seasoning, cuts, etc.) but the texture always gets to me in the end. Maybe I'm missing something.

It's a shame, because there are always a ton of it in the "expiring soon" baskets that my local grocery store sells (2kg for 3 EUR), so I'd really like to make it work.

No, it’s not true. 13% of Americans over 12 are recent drug users but 13% of Americans aren’t living on the streets due to drug abuse.

https://drugabusestatistics.org/

And let’s not forget that the drugs that are considered ‘bad’ & illegal are done so totally arbitrarily. Alcohol is the drug with the most negative effects on society but is culturally, politically and legally acceptable whilst something like LSD, with very low rates of harm, is considered a hard drug and very illegal.
Yes, that's the tradeoff. High voltage for the long haul, low voltage locally is common.

There are computer equipment racks where distribution within the rack is at 12 VDC. These often have big busbars in the back, and a power supply in the base. Facebook's OpenRack started at 12VDC, but a later rev is at 48 VDC.
That's just within the rack; there's a power supply in the rack base running off something like 3-phase 220VAC. There are advantages to running off 3-phase power; there's always power available from at least one phase, and the capacitors needed to smooth DC are far smaller.

Telephone central offices have run the whole office at 48VDC for a century, with a big battery for backup power. Big bus bars carry that around the building. (Do telco offices still do that?)

Much industrial control gear runs at 24VDC. So do many military vehicles. It's a reasonable voltage to send a few meters, but not hundreds.

(The extreme case is ultra-high voltage DC power transmission, where power is sent thousands of kilometers at a million volts.)

I can't help but think this is how assembly programmers viewed people using compiled languages, or how punched card programmers viewed people using interactive terminals.

The debt ceiling needs increasing when the budget that was already approved needs money. If the contentious part is not spending so much then those Republicans shouldn't have approved the fucking budget at first.

This line of reasoning makes no sense... Holding the debt ceiling hostage is just posturing, and from your comment and some others it really seems to work even in seemingly intelligent people, imagine with the rest of the voters?
"stepping away from the desk is seen as a loss of valuable work time, time we could otherwise use to tackle the next item on our to-do list"

This sounds a bit of an unhealthy culture.

The idea shouldn't be to look busy at all times, but rather, to work on problems and solve them, solving them don't have to happen in front of the screen, sometimes, doing something else entirely allows you to arrive at a solution faster.

I'm working in an office, so it's probably easier for me than someone who works at home and might already feel some additional pressure to "prove they're busy and not just doing laundry and watching Netflix".

I take whatever amount of breaks I happen to take on any particular day, some days, I only go for bathroom and lunch, other days, I spend more or less hanging around other peoples offices to discussion work (if work happens to be interesting) or whatever is interesting. Some times, I go and turn on the arcade and have a game or two (Tetris Grand Master 2 Plus is my favorite).
I might take a cup of coffee and go outside and just sit for a bit and stare into the sky.
I know some colleagues who don't do this, and look busy much of the time, but none of the data I have available to me seem to indicate that they're being mor e productive.

As IPv4 prices in cloud provider services are expected to rise starting in February 2024, IPv4 providers, including IPXO, are suggesting alternatives that offer 90% lower monthly rates.
Oh your idea of “super contentious” is “got a vapid clickbait op-ed article written about it”? Gotcha.

Then no, but I like words to mean something. You? Apparently less so.
> Very surprising to me was that there is a semantic difference in <i> and <em> (the same is also the case with <b> and <strong>) apparently, also PDA readers for e.g., blind people are also aware of this semantic difference.

It is in the names:

<em> = emphasized, as in "this part of the text should be emphasized in whatever way the styling dictates

<i> = italic, just a way to style directly

<strong> = strongly emphasized

<b> = bold, just a way to style directly

<i> and <b> do not make a statement about semantics, they are for styling, and probably not much used in modern valid HTML, or at least should not, if you have CSS available. <em> and <strong> make statements about importance of a part of text, in whatever way you want to style that. It just happens, that the default styling for those is italic and bold.

TypeScript has both interfaces and type aliases because they serve different purposes.

Interfaces are used to define the shape and behavior of an object. They are a way of enforcing contracts between different parts of your code. For example, you could define an interface for a Person object that specifies that it must have a name property and a age property. This would ensure that any code that uses the Person interface knows what properties to expect.

Type aliases are used to create new names for existing types. This can be useful for making your code more readable and maintainable. For example, you could create a type alias called MyDate that is equivalent to the Date type. This would allow you to use the MyDate type throughout your code, which would make it easier to understand what types of values are being used.

In my use I find interfaces are a good choice for defining the shape and behavior of objects, while type aliases are a good choice for creating new names for existing types.

Some other considerations in how they are differentiated are that:

* Interfaces are open and can be extended, Alias cannot.

* Interfaces can be interested with other types, Alias cannot.

* Interface supports declaration merging, Alias does not.

While not an RFP, this may be helpful:

You're absolutely right on the 'why' part, but sadly a lot of custom implementations are annoying in terms of UX and accessibility. My only point here is that building proper custom components is far from easy, it takes a lot of time and effort.
> You are saying that you don't like democracy then

"Democracy" says nothing about ensuring every single vote counts equally. While I am inherently skeptical of systems that decide some votes are worth more than others, personally, the idea that my vote should count for more when I'm part of a smaller but younger demographic bracket and less when I'm older and part of a bigger bracket doesn't bother me too much. Whether it would actually produce a better result is almost impossible to know.

> In my country, Italy, the far right is the preferred choice among people < 25 years old and women, while people over 65 have voted in majority for the left and are progressive.

That's certainly quite interesting, and different from the pattern I'm aware of occurring elsewhere, and it would be fascinating to do a deeper dive into why that might be. It certainly suggests to me that whatever the "left" in your country is offering, younger voters are not seeing it as representing the policies they feel the country needs over the coming decades. Though I did just come across an article that suggested this trend is possibly because younger voters in Europe have no first-hand knowledge of how awful things became under far-right leaders in the early 20th century. Or perhaps because they've seen first hand that welfare-state-type policies associated with left have benefited older generations far more than themselves.
