That’s called “schema.” It’s a pretty out there concept, I know, the idea that you should be burdened to document the structure and intent of your data for both human and mechanical consumption. I realize I’m being forceful here, but keep in mind, you are compensated incredibly well. If it takes you another hour to save ten down the road, earn the pay. I don’t understand this aversion to tough stuff - which seems to be pretty popular here - and I’m starting to think I should interview for it a bit harder than I already do.

The problem with this thinking is that you, personally, are then forbidden from arguing for the use of a strictly typed language for development because it’s the opposite position to the one you’re holding here. The exact reasons we use languages like those are the same reasons we should be explicit with our schemas. It’s unfortunate that many people try to argue both sides due to the convenience, as you say, of a single line parse, when years of experience has taught that duck anything is a bug fountain. (Not saying you are arguing both, by the way, it’s just common.)

Try reading back your gripe with the following in mind: do I have a stronger complaint than “it’s difficult” here? I think you’ll find that you don’t convey one effectively.
To be fair, what sets YC apart from most, not all incubators, is the level of community communication: signal and support. Not every incubator has as much critical mass/network effects (yes, that cliche) of cleverness, hustle, intellect, and track record in one place. Sometimes, the relative difference can be as stark as comparing an Olympic training swimming center vs. the local middle school pool open during summer months: both can cool you off, but which will be more useful to an athlete?

Social media: The business utility of it is primarily in broadcasting press release-type information and real-time notices. For personal use, the power law distribution of popularity suggests it's a time suck with little or no net positive value.
It got popular because it's far easier to read and edit hierarchical and array data in YAML than it is in XML (or JSON).

Most of the time I don't need a format with support for some esoteric charset or namespaces or any of the other baggage that comes with XML, I just need a quick way to exchange regular, structured information, possibly with comments, in UTF-8, that is easy to read and write.

Show me a better format that doesn't make my eyes bleed from the angle brackets (or the curly braces from JSON) that is commonly supported across lots of programming environments and I'll happily switch to it.
Yes, if you are cross docking collectibles then you probably want to do authentication as part of your business either through third parties or in house (and supported by AI either way).

They're both lucky, and I'm not a fan of Warren Buffett either. He constantly throws out his "money has no utility to me" as part of his "aww shucks, I'm from Nebraska" schtick, which is a slap in the face of the other n-billion people poorer than him, less lucky than him, and to whom money does have utility, as in life or death utility.

Jim Simons has mentioned explicitly about how most people underestimate the role of luck in success, and he attributes quite a bit of his success to luck.
That's similar what I see for Chinese-Australian people. They'll get both a Western and a Chinese given name, though legal order probably varies.
Does HTTP/2 use more resources per connection than HTTP/1.1.
Moreover, most roadmaps I've been a part of have all involved items where the first step is discovery, both product and technical. There's usually strong signal that it's the right thing to do, but the first step isn't writing code, it's figuring the thing out from different angles.
How did he not? His wealth is a direct consequence of something he possesses and was able to deterministic enact in the world? Or is it more likely that he's old, he started off well off with a wealthy-enough and connected father, and has done nothing but invest since he was a teenager in one of the east time periods in the history of mankind to make money from money?
Lua is used quite a bit for that purpose, as it's small and easy to embed. I'm not a Lua programmer, but bodging together a few snippets of Lua with a well-defined configuration API is much easier than trying to do that with SQLite statements.
I would never take a vendor’s word for what the laws are. Many will simply violate the law, and see what they can get away with.

Look up your local consumer protection laws, and see if their behavior is allowed. If not, write to them demanding the refund, citing to the specific consumer protection laws, and informing them that if they don’t resolve the issue your next step is to file a complaint with your state AG.

Edit: to make this slightly more useful, you can search “(your state) uniform commercial code”, and you can look at this resource for a quick summary of the UCC obligation on a manufacturer: https://www.mclane.com/insights/know-the-law-uniform-commerc...

I could see an AG complaint prompting them to complete the replacement soon.
I might be a sick mfer, but I must confess, I kinda like XSLT.
The point of LTS kernels is that they do get constant updates ie that security patches are backported. There is no world

Seen things like this before. Often a bad connection somewhere, possibly involving material that expands/contracts significantly in response to a change in temperature (turning the module into an inadvertent temperature controlled switch).
You can sell your collection on Facebook Marketplace or to game stores that have robots and/or buyers.

Also… the main things the discord does is let people up late notice the stream, including the remote team and our friends and community etc.

Plus they can send bugs directly to the team and get real-time feedback if someone is available.

Plus it includes rooms for buyers and sellers (since we don’t yet have the social marketplace feature we intend).

Discord is fun and useful, highly recommend.
No. That is not controlling the mind. That is using normal sensory facilities to communicate with a mind.

To use computers as a metaphor, what you described is like influencing the behavior of a computer by sending it a network packet. That is a normal operation that computers are built to process. Hypnosis is like remotely hacking the computer - you use normal sensory / normal network processing means to command unauthorized actions. Neuralink is like taking a magnetic needle to the systems memory to both read and write to influence the behavior and access information from it. The lattermost is mind control.
> the default assumption is that there's a scam and the employee is guilty until proven innocent.

To answer your real question - my guess is that this was a place that had a history of moving fast and breaking things. But probably more importantly - there was no way for that person to benefit from the mistake. The BTC price recovered automatically through the quick arbitrage market. The only way they could have benefited would have been if they were the counter party in the sale, which is highly unlikely.

Now, why FTX was a place that operated like this is another question altogether.
You’re probably right on the legal side based on my quick scan of the history of US immigration. It looks like what changed is the effectiveness of enforcement which drastically gotten better in the Information Age.

> The problem is there's no clean way to abstract strings, bools, lists, objects, trees, etc. into a human-readable configuration syntax that does not have a footgun.

My favorite take on this by far is that any types beyond string, list, and dict don't belong in the format at all, and should be left to the ingesting code. I started on the path thanks to StrictYAML and found a home with NestedText.
For something like rpc where data is automatically encoded/decoded then there are definitely better alternatives if you don’t need string representation of the entire blob. Eg: protobuf has a schema and code generation for most languages that can then work with whatever editor you use to write code.

I think editing xml is just as bad as editing anything else and is only made better by having some kind of plugin which understands xml + a specific schema.
Yea, it's pretty sickening. It's pretty sad that in the U.S., someone else's money can buy the government, your education, and how you literally live, all in the way that that someone else thinks it should be done but wouldn't do themself.
Unfortunately, none of these companies providing 10+ years of maintenance are doing so for most embedded devices. We either need to get SoC vendors to update their kernel baselines regularly This is hard, we've been trying for a decade and not seen much progress. Alternately, get them to backport fixes and patches (there's actually been quite a bit of progress here in getting them to actually take updates from the stable kernel at all! And that's getting thrown away now...)
I don’t think you can compare this to the Unity situation.

Turbo is free and open-source. Nothing stops people from forking and keeping TypeScript alive in the fork.
Does the government know something we don't know yet?

Also - where's sick leave? I'm sick of taking personal responsibility for my liver by getting the Hepatitis A vaccine, when in civilized countries people working in fast food can take sick leave to cure their infection instead of spreading it to all the world.

Thank you for the feedback! I will have a look into SSR with caching since I am already using Next.js, but I haven't used any SSR functionalities yet. I will add the "cursor:pointers", in general I haven't done much work on design for larger screens yet, just scaled up the mobile version.

At the moment, around half of the content is generated by ChatGPT, and around half by me and my friends. It could be that I am not good at using ChatGPT, but human ideas looked more interesting/fascinating to me
Yes, it would, but at what price(s)? Think about what would happen if the size of the (very low priced) sell order was >= the size of all resting buy orders priced >= the price of the sell order.
See Josef Alber’s Interaction of Color for more information and studies of relative color. It’s a fascinating subject and color theory is very useful for UX and getting more bang with less colors. (https://yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300179354/interaction-of...)
I dont know why we are even bringing IT into the A&P world other than dissemination of maintenance data. Aircraft maintenance has been well documented for almost a century now. The issue is incorporating other entities before they are vetted for corruption. This is a sad state of affairs. Edit: thinking about that, planes crash all the time but it is rare, but non-zero, due to maintenance
That's odd. Looks like Netplan looks like uses libyaml, and vanilla libyaml definitely parses that naked v6 addr as a plain scalar. Maybe Netplan adds an extra schema on top or something? If you know what data the bare v6 string turned into, I'd love to hear it.

We know for a fact that inflation was roughly 8% during the period in question, so I'm not sure how the math works on what you're suggesting.
People say this a lot. I think it's mostly not true.

Milk and eggs are at the back of the store because they're high-turnover items that require refrigeration. In literally every grocery store in my area --- Pete's, Whole Foods, Caputo's, and Jewel --- produce and high-volume soft drinks are both in the front of the store; in fact, the major soft drinks are stocked outside the store at Pete's, in the vestibule where the shopping carts are.

In no grocery store I have ever been in have the bulk of the milk and eggs been in the front of the store, despite the fact that stores compete with each other, and are a low-margin business.

Grocery store layouts are certainly optimized. But I don't think the "milk and eggs are hidden so you'll buy snacks" narrative makes much sense. The stores are loaded from the back, and easiest to refrigerate from the back, and having clerks constantly trucking milk from one refrigerator in the back to another in the front of the store seems pretty suboptimal. I think dairy placement is a constraint the stores work around, not an evil scheme.
Well, one might argue they’re trusted to grift retail. The money firms make doesn’t come out of thin air. SEC is fairly toothless in this area.
Yes. It's actually not as simple as it sounds and involved preparing all my own meals. This said. A bottle of salt lasts a long long at home. Eating out is a quick way to get 100% of your DVA in one meal.

Disappointingly, it made no difference to my blood pressure over at least a month.

What it did do is reset my taste for salt. Any outside food tasted so salty at first it was yucky. That wore off after a while.

There is one thing that seems to make a difference and that is consciously drinking a lot of water. This lowers by BP but it has other affects I don't like.
> Personally it made me a bit sad, because it created real permission for Android to never upgrade kernels.

I would argue that it was still better than not doing that, because the vendors weren't going to properly keep up with kernels either way; the choice wasn't "support 3.x for longer or move to 4.x", it was "support 3.x for longer or watch Android devices stay on 3.x without patches".
I feel good about myself if I can understand more than the first sentence of any of his posts. Some days I'll even settle for only the first.

Great mathematicians are said to be exceptional at visualization. I wonder if the modern greats think in TeX or LaTeX on top of that. It is amazing how fast they post fully-formed, meticulously referenced blog articles or upload preprints.
Unfortunately that's not a spec, only a (language-specific) tool.

For a similar spec that offers no types outside of string, list, and dict, there's NestedText.
20 years is not conservative; it is a very aggressive timetable for significant impact on employment.

I think you underestimate just what is involved in most "unskilled", manual jobs, and you also underestimate scale-up difficulties in production and teaching the robots. These are not a bunch of rectangular slabs with only one moving part.

Further, there are hundreds of thousands of occupations; the most numerous occupation, health care aide, is extremely diverse. It's not like "write the next iOS or Android, and you're done": you have to repeat that on the order of a million times.

(Note: I am not given to using adverbs, especially intensifiers, as a rule. Please take that into account when reading "very" and "extremely" above.)
It’s virtue signaling to say that policy shifts brought a million+ kids back under the poverty line? Seems like pedantry. If the data is the data, then the statements in the article are either correct, misleading or false.
> we had sanity checks in place to make sure that the orders being sent were reasonable relative to current market prices. Not so for manual trades, which were by nature discretionary.

I guess we have different definitions of "invisible"
Thanks, I hope I get to be part of Mana Pool forever.

I see MTG the same way I see any software I subscribe to, so the artificial scarcity bit doesn’t bother me a bit. I like MTG a lot and don’t mind paying, and I’m glad the business model lets them make new cards for me many times a year.

I’m also glad they do all the collector scarcity stuff because they subsidize players like me who just want draft boosters and the cheapest versions of the singles for my decks.
> A senior partner once told a writer, “There is no institution on the planet that has more integrity than McKinsey"

Perhaps a well meaning individual who wanted to make it entirely clear that whatever they said on the company's behalf should not be taken even half way seriously ?
> So naturally, we had sanity checks in place to make sure that the orders being sent were reasonable relative to current market prices. Not so for manual trades, which were by nature discretionary.

This seems to imply that risk checks are somehow either unnecessary or impractical for manual trades, which is completely untrue. This is 100% a case of 'we chose not to implement that'.
IBM is still worth money if their stock gets delisted. Real estate, buildings, equipment, patent portfolios. Bitcoins is worth $0.
PA Semi was 2008 or so, and Intrinsity in 2009-10. In both cases they came with (more or less) working products, an existing relationship, and coherent engineering teams with an active development pipeline. Its fair to say the intel modem folks have a lot of that individually, but Im not clear how much of the whole transferred over.

Edit: and the HwEng org already had established VLSI, SoC, and PCB groups shipping products before those acquisitions happened.
I wrote a dns management system some time ago and used xml to describe the base data. I’m hard pressed to know of a better format where you can hand-edit, easily diff, have schema validation of data, and reliably transform the data into other formats (in this case bind, isc dhcp, and documentation with graphviz+html)

OTOH, I’ve seen xml schemas that would make a rattlesnake cry.
There's still a decent population of RHEL 5 systems in the wild. Last year I was offered an engagement (turned down for a few reasons) to help a company upgrade several hundred systems from RHEL 5 to RHEL 6 and start planning for a future rollout of RHEL 7.

Outside of tech focused companies, 10+ year old systems really are the norm.
I have a similar stories.

The first was a VDSL connection I had at home. It worked great (fast, for the time) except when it didn't. It always failed in the evening. Techs would come out, bless it as being good, and leave -- because of course it worked while they were there. Unless they showed up and it was broken and then they'd declare that it was an outside problem, and that they'd have to get someone else to fix it (because the residential techs can't do overhead work).

I made lots of (very polite) phone calls, which results in more refunds and more service calls. More than once, my driveway and the street in front of my house looked like an AT&T convention.

This went on for months.

I had direct numbers and emails for tier 3 support and the local manager who oversaw this plant. We were all getting to know eachother too well, and there were boots on the ground addressing this problem as many as three times in week.

I eventually noticed that as the days got shorter so did the evening outages...and that if it was a cloudy day, then that day was often outage-free.

I had an epiphany: The problem might correlate with the angle of the sun, and the duration of exposure!

I checked my logs and the past weather, and sure enough: It lined up.

So I reported my findings, even though they seemed like nonsense as the words came out of my mouth, and they sent out some crazy-haired guy with bluejeans and an untucked shirt who was clearly not used to wearing a uniform, and who was also obviously not normally customer-facing.

"I know exactly why they can't find the problem," he said after I reiterated what I'd learned. "Your neighborhood still has old lead-sheathed overhead lines, and nobody knows how to work on that anymore."

"But I'm certified on that. I'm going to go back to the shop, pick up a bucket truck and get your line fixed. It will take me most of a day to do this, but I will be back when I'm done."

And it was getting pretty late, but he did come back to let me know that he found some things and fixed them. And I don't know what those things were, but it was fine after that -- and it stayed fine.

Thermal expansion letting cosmic rays leak into copper pairs wrapped in paper, tar, and lead? Who knows. I certainly don't know.

I've never encountered that stuff professionally (and it isn't your grandfather's 25-pair cable) and as this dude said, "nobody knows how to work on that anymore."
Yaml is by far the most legible of those 3
There's a happy medium to be found here - balancing ease of use, while avoiding the bug fountain. Having said that, IMHO we should err on the side of avoiding the bug fountain. Make it as simple as possible, but not simpler.

Robbing the future with deceptive over-simplicity - by creating a bunch of future difficult debugging scenarios and possibly footguns - is the far worse evil, than missing out on the maximally-convenient onboarding (which can be foolishly optimized for, for the sake of short-term popularity). All such crap-tastic solutions will eventually need to be replaced again anyway, creating an endless, hellish, slow churn.
> Yes, without the quotes, the IPv6 address gets interpreted a YAML mapping/dict because of the colon(s).

This is incorrect. The colon needs to be followed by whitespace for it to indicate a key-value pair. You can check this with the reference parser (and a bunch of others!) online: https://play.yaml.io/main/parser?input=YWxsb3dlZC1pcHM6IFswL...
He said the player was attempting to bluff. In a given set of community cards, you're calculating the possibilities in which you can get beat. You're also watching your opponents actions to see if their lies (bluffing) are plausible.

Let's say you have a seriously strong hand, and there's only one way you could see that you could be beat. The opponent may have that hand now, or they may be hanging around in an attempt to upgrade to that hand while bluffing in the meantime.

In some cases, the above scenario is obvious. Everyone at the table knows well enough what each player is attempting to project. Every player knows which cards to look for to be revealed. It can be devastating to the bluffing player for that card to be accidentally exposed as a burner card.

Given there was a burner card exposed, then there was at least one more card to be added to the community cards. At this point, the bluffing player would be in a tough spot. The player with the stronger hand would likely be raising / re-raising to call the bluff and / or get more chips into the pot.

Continuing the game after the exposed card would have been pointless. You also feel stupid getting exposed on a bluff, when you otherwise might not have had to show your cards. You're probably going to be very pissed.

Edit: The dealer would have had no way of knowing what the burner card was, but the dealer could have known what card the bluffing player was looking for. However, I don't see how it would make sense to expose that card intentionally as a cheating move. Maybe the dealer could have used that as a signal to expose the bluff. My guess is the bluffing player was bluffing in an attempt to make their hand (fake it until you make it) and the other player sensed that. Maybe the other player wasn't convinced and would have won the hand regardless. But at the point of seeing the exposed card, they both knew it was over.

NOTE: We would have to know more about how this played out to do much more speculation than the above.
