> I tried Revolut Business and Airwallex and got a generic "We can't offer you services at this time and you can't appeal and we can't tell you why" rejection from both of them

I just opened a Revolut Business account for a fairly complicated (to them) structure, a Dutch CV with several partners and managed by a company. Took some back and forth with documents and chat sessions, but is done now.

So I wonder what triggered a downright 'no' in your case. Might also explain what the problem is with Wise.
As usual in this conflict, nothing is as easy and straightforward as some people would like:

I always view these things as very niave. Over the years I have seen many takes on how to build homes faster/cheaper/greener. Yes, I could build a small shed out of 2x4's and plywood for a couple hundred dollars, maybe even a thousand if we want to have a multi person dwelling. BUT, is it safe from the elements, is it structural, and the aspect almost everyone overlooks is, does it have PLUMBING AND ELECTRICAL. If you don't have a plan for this, its just a fort, not a home.
Nonsense.

That's why you do symlink-based deployments with PHP. It works just fine and is also not a problem unique to PHP.

PHP itself doesn't follow filesystem-based routing, your webserver config does. PHP just executes what th webserver tells it to. Most PHP applications written in the last 10 years use a single entry point and are no longer prone to the attacks you are describing.
Haha yes the irony is palpable. Maybe 'scientific theist' is pretty unfair actually, plenty of theists that I meet don't force their beliefs on other people, it should be 'scientific missionary' or something.
All those different subgenres are quite daunting as a newcomer. I've listened to songs labelled as “Psytrance” by Spotify, though I couldn't pinpoint the subgenre after listening to the examples provided by the guide.

For example, what would the song “Shiva Style, Pt. 2” by Mandragora classify as (if it counts as Psytrance)?
Why do you chose it instead of Perl or Python?
Just install, and start using it on the side. It's quite intuitive. Maybe start with the `tutor` command, then go through the guide book: https://www.nushell.sh/book/

I don’t have sources readily available but several programs across the country have reallocated parts of their police budgets to mental health crisis services, among other things, to seemingly good success.

There are also places that tried defunding and then quietly voted for _more_ budget for policing.

My dad was a professional writer who wrote for everyone from Time Life Books to the National Enquirer. He picked up several of the early Osborne computers, with Wordstar, and used Wordstar until he passed (I also got an Osborne out of that, when I was 10). Wordstar is the first word processor I ever used, and I used it a lot (wrote my first fiction story with it). It was an amazing piece of software, for what it had to work with. I loved it, despite its quirks (such as dot formatting).

Consistency is definitely the benefit of chains, especially for travelers. That was one of the original reasons chains like Howard Johnson’s did so well. Today, when abroad, it is still helpful to know that a chain will have predictable food, even if you didn’t fly halfway around the world to eat at McDonalds. Sometimes comfort and convenience beats out novelty.

Thank you for the comment. I get that the task manager space is crowded. Floutwork aims to go beyond just task management by integrating all your workday essentials into a single interface to minimize distractions and boost focus. It's about creating a more streamlined and efficient work environment and an opinionated workflow to get things done.
Thanks for the links, they’re fascinating!
For those located abroad, a mix of referrals and also basing hiring criteria on a mix of where you worked previously, where you studied, a very rigorous panel interview, and having EMs and PMs who have cultural competencies in regions like Israel, Eastern Europe, and India.

An American isn't gunna jive with the work culture in those regions - it's more cutthroat and productive IME - but luckily there are plenty of diaspora Israelis, Indians, and Eastern Europeans who are fine returning to the old country to act as a GM or Director while earning a $100-200k salary in countries where the median income is $40k, $20k (Czechia), and $2k respectively.

But yea Amazon has a lot of employees. Idk what the tech/business/distribution center split is but I’m sure everyone is given at least a work email.
For example, I live in northern New England, which is heavy on trees and light on sand.

That's why our typical "vernacular architecture" is log cabins, not mud brick structures. Different advantages and disadvantages. Different construction process. Different materials. But still more sustainable than concrete.

A noble campaign, but it may be illegal in the US (and Spain, and legally risky in a few other countries) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-BDS_laws:

Most anti-BDS laws have taken one of two forms: contract-focused laws requiring government contractors to promise that they are not boycotting Israel; and investment-focused laws, mandating public investment funds to avoid entities boycotting Israel. [..]

The Anti-Boycott Act of 2018 [..] does not target boycotts against Israel specifically, but makes it illegal to “comply with, further, or support any boycott fostered or imposed by any foreign country, against a country which is friendly to the United States” [..] and as the Office of Antiboycott Compliance notes “The Arab League boycott of Israel is the principal unsanctioned foreign boycott that U.S. persons must be concerned with today.”

> That's chill, but it doesn't seem nearly as radical as the "abolish the police" slogan? What fraction of police calls have been replaced with mental health/EMT calls in these cities?

Since we’re talking about defunding, not abolishing, what’s your point?

And that fraction depends on the municipality - it varies from program to program.
Not really relevant. Whether you implement the post-publication peer review and corrections with a wiki software or as corrigendums or voting or ... is an implementation question once you have solved the questions pointed out.

In particular, the first issue pointed out are misaligned incentives for these corrections (think of wikipedia spam; kernel contributions for trivial spelling mistakes or adding <3...). Or the lack of recognition for doing this work. Or author rights, when the "corrections" introduce quite radical changes (e.g. think of policy articles). "Just make it a wiki" will not magically fix these issues.
I really do not understand this take and have to assume people who say this have not deeply used PHP. It has a large variety of bizzare language features that make JavaScript look downright well-designed.

Examples off the top of my head:

* Lists and dictionaries being the same data type ("array"). This makes it impossible to distinguish between an empty list and an empty dictionary, good luck encoding that JSON.

* Arrays are pass-by-value

* '123' == '+123' evaluates to true

* '0' == '0.000' evaluates to true

* `$a = true; $b = false; $c = $a and $b;`, $c evaluates to `true`

* Closures requiring you to explicitly list every variable from the parent scope you want to use

* References (&$var) have a lot of footguns

* array_key_exists and property_exists taking opposite parameter orders

* stdlib naming in general being pretty bad, with the stated justification being that strlen() was used as a hash function in early PHP versions, so functions were named to achieve an even distribution: http://news.php.net/php.internals/70691
Fair enough, I get what you are driving at, and you are solving for a totally valid problem. I never use multiple screens for the same reason - my single screen is displaying the one thing at a time.

My problem is juggling all the balls in the air for a large number of in-progress tasks.

Presently my information landscape is split "vertically" by communication medium - here's all the email, here's all the chats, here's all the notes, here's the design projects, here's the slide decks, etc. What I want is rather to split it "horizontally" by task - here's everything related to task X.

People I have discussed this with have joked that what I need is a good Personal Assistant instead, haha. They have a point though.

Show HN: LookAway – My first native macOS app to combat digital eye strain
Hi HN! I'm Kushagra. I created LookAway after suffering from eye strain due to working for long hours staring at my screen.

The app nudges you to take regular breaks by blurring the screen to help reduce eye strain. It gives a heads-up before each break so you can wrap up tasks, and you can adjust the break intervals and durations to fit your routine.

LookAway is smart - it works when you work, pauses when you don't, and handles idle time intelligently. I’d love to hear your feedback to improve it. Check it out at https://lookaway.app. Thank you for your time!
Usually floating point numbers are defined as `1.fraction * 2^(exponent-bias)`, but if the exponent is zero `0.fraction * 2^(1-bias)` is used, to allow representing very small numbers.

Cost of Spam
In my mind this is not about spammers not having the money to create 10k accounts.

but about how many CCs would they put for 10k accounts? If you have 1000 accounts with the same CC it does seem to make it a bit easier to say maybe these 1000 accounta are bots.

but let me tell you what Musk can do to actually let bots run: allow crypto payments :D
Where is AMD in all this? Like M1 Macs, their Ryzen APUs have access to the whole system memory and AI accelerators, so I would like to get a laptop with 32-64GB of RAM just to fit giant LLMs in it, instead of splurging a lot more on RTX cards with large VRAM even if I don't game, but AMD isn't even trying.
This sounds like a very big deal.

* Design for a "walking" "robot" generated from a simple prompt. Shown that it works after a 3d print step.

However, if they are so sure of their case, why show such shallow results? If they can speed up evolution say 10000x, we would see greater designs day by day?
Luckily I didn't mention either "closed source" or "proprietary software" in my comment. I mentioned that people colloquially use "open source" to refer to any code base that has source available to read.

Maybe there's some hidden point you're trying to make by associating these concepts but it'd be easier if you said it plainly.

Other than that I think you find that people in real life don't tend to be exact in their use of language all the time, and calling understandable imprecisions "wrong" tends to decrease the number of friends you get.
Booksellers rarely understand which those are though.
> Compare this to schooling, where it's largely funded through the county, so the county often pays less in the nicer areas, knowing the job is easier.

Most school funding comes through property taxes - it’s a nice way to avoid saying “we’re funding schools in poorer areas using fewer resources” while saying absolutely that.
Both can be true... Both are true.

Here's what gets me out of ruts / pits of despair.

1. Figure out your goals / objectives / musts / things you want and write them down (1-3 things).

2. Write down things that you dislike about your current situation (environment? job? a teammate? a spouse? whatever).

3. Write down tasks you can do starting today to begin chipping away at #2 and lead you closer to something from #1.

Once you have clarity, you just need to execute.
I don't think that would be a good idea -- sticking to positive normals and truncating below is enough for float32 and float64. I mean, consider that 1.1754944f-38 is a normal 32 bit float.

The probability that your "perfect" code would ever get triggered is such that humankind has not built enough compute to expect to get that unlucky yet.

(you may ask: why then care about that possibility if it's dead code anyway? Because of security vulns in context of flawed RNGs. Bad underlying RNG leading to bad distributions is expected; bad underlying RNG leading to RCE is not OK. So don't ever output zero or subnormals!)

For bfloat16 the same holds; for ieee float16, well, I have no clue what we want.
So selling off a failing company on the open market to the highest bidder is socialist. But governments bailing out a failing car manufacturer to the tune of billions of tax payer dollars is free market capitalism? Got it.

From what I've seen, most Electron-based apps have a web version. In fact, many web apps offer a desktop version that is essentially an Electron wrapper. If you can find the web version of your Electron app, you can add it to Floutwork as a web app. However, if it is purely Electron-based with no web version, unfortunately, that can't be integrated within Floutwork, and there are no plans to attempt that feat.

It was only ever a thing in the first place because, almost half a century ago, some people decided to write a one-pass compiler due to storage/memory limitations. Even 40+ years ago, C was the only popular language that required them - to never address the issue is practically inexcusable.

OOP took a series of deliberate actions for the image file to show up. I'd be very surprised if any reasonable court wouldn't put the blame on them.

They may have had a defence if this hotlink prevention was already there from the beginning, but this post explicitly admits that this was added intentionally in response, and that there were plenty of other options that could've been taken.

When it comes to many laws, intent matters a lot. You can make technical arguments about the nature of all networking all you want ("technically HTTP is a request/response system so if I just requested the server to delete all customer data I didn't hack it the system just foolishly accepted my request") but the real world doesn't really care about CORS and iframe policies as it does about not being exposed to some guys erect penis and stretched out anus.

I did not watch the whole video, but...

The video talks about "no cost at all", except it ignores the massive amount of labour and time required to hand make bricks from mud and go from there.

Later on the video talks about ancient structures (pyramids, great wall, etc) that withstood the test of time, ignoring the MASSIVE human cost associated with building those things. How many people died housing a small handful of elites? In what living accommodations did thoses slaves find themselves?

I can guarantee you that if ancient pharoahs had access to glass and concrete they would have used it. Especially if it made it cheaper or quicker to build what they wanted.

How do you house the population on this planet without making use of cheap to produce, scalable and durable materials such as steel or concrete?

Honestly, I wish more documentation out there had comments/discussion at the bottom.

For example, what if would be like to find myself reading about setting up OpenID Connect and having the first (most upvoted) comments on the first page explain things that might not be clear in the docs, analogies that make things easier to understand, or code/configuration snippets for a particular technology.

This sort of rhetoric and this time isn't helping the Palestinian people in any way. Calling Israels war with Hamas Apartheid is utter nonsense. This has nothing to do with race and everything to do with mass murder of civilians.

Hamas is the reason we don't have a Palestinian state. They sent suicide bombers during the Oslo accord to stop any chance of peace.

There's a lot of valid criticism we can levy on Israel, I 100% agree with that. Especially against the current government. That's why it's important to focus on real issues e.g. a more reliable organization covering the bad things happening in the territories and Gaza: https://www.btselem.org/
