Speed limits are less about you and more about everyone else around you. Your autonomy means nothing to the mother and child driving the limit when you smash and kill them.

So how is dodgecoin doing - it is amazing how some of the peddlers of shitcoins made so much money :).
I see some Rivians when I go shopping and I just think they are obscenely big. They often basically use up two parking spots. I don’t think that’s the direction we want to go. Same complaint for the Tesla Cybertruck.
Yeah, when trying to drill down into deeply nested structures, it'd be a waste to just blindly nullish-coalesce any None objects into empty dicts instead of just immediately short-circuiting out of the deep access. It's a cute trick but would not pass code review in my shop.
A few banks have been offering 4.00 or higher for the past 9 months or more. The apple card with Goldman Savings is currently at 4.15% and has been since it launched. It was mostly smaller banks that I saw offers in this range, but It looks like the bigger banks have to play along now, lest they lose more inflow.
I think one of the interesting things about C is that if you ask 100 C devs the “right way” you’ll have 100 ways! :-)

C allows you tons of freedom to make programs your own. As you also use libraries you’ll see various approaches and conventions. For example SDL use SDL_FuntionName() while something like Cairo uses cairo_function_name()

I totally hear you because those same questions about “best practices” were the ones I had when I started C. C is and incredibly powerful tool that lets you almost anything! So, just enjoy the ride and let your taste develop as you go!

I personally use all standard ints so uint8_t instead of unsigned char. I also like namespacing stuff, like the functions in my_library.h would have something like ml_function_one() and ml_function_two().

I’ve also come to appreciate immensely macros! Sure, they can be as dangerous and as useful as a very sharp Japanese Damascus steel knife in the kitchen, use your discretion ;-)

But above all, have fun! C puts almost no limits on you and soon you’ll find yourself passing function pointers, making system calls and playing with memory as if it was nothing!

Have fun!
This was basically resolved by the time of Windows.Forms. The biggest issue at that point was high-DPI compatibility - I haven't used Windows for long enough to know whether that is still an issue.

> it shows an incredible lack of critical thinking on the student's part

It’s material that these are law students. Not undergrads. Undergrads should have room to be stupidly wrong and learn from it; that’s what academic freedom is for.

That said, they’re still kids. Davis Polk has the right to do what they did; I’d make the same call in their place. But I also wouldn’t mind having these people on a legal team I hired, provided there was afterthought to their actions.
I use dark reader, but I just know one day I'll wake up to news that it had secretly been sold a month prior and had been doing all kinds of nefarious things. This is inherently a problem with browser extensions that both auto-update and basically require access to every website.

2000 was the year when the Goa regional government decided they had had enough of skint backpackers and beach parties, and wanted to attract tourists who would spend more money, not look so obviously like drug-takers, and do whatever they do more out of sight of the state’s conservative population. I feel that the Goa trance genre had peaked years before, but as an end year, 2000 seems fitting.

Are you quoting wikipedia on my home town?

Yes, it's a single municipality, my kids go to school there. Tel Aviv grew to be bigger than Jaffa we have huge towers here and Jaffa is an ancient city so you can't build up there.

The benefit of being a part of Tel Aviv means it has the same municipal services and advantages of being a part of the richest municipality in Israel.
You can get 5.02% if you bring $100k to them anytime. They only make it available in a Merrill CMA (cash management account) though (see preferred deposit in pdf below). You can also reduce that $100k to $1 after you make the initial deposit and still maintain access to that savings rate.

Hang on can I understand your position? As I read it your (biological) mum
took a swab of her own mouth and sent it to 23 and me. And you argue she should have asked your permission before doing so because she would be giving them half of your DNA?

Honestly I am not sure where I stand on that issue. Or rather it's probably to do with society wide regulation not individual rights ...
> Which is the group being crushed by capitalism?

The workers who are barely paid a living wage, the workers who are currently in a row with Meta because it used their work for mediation but exploited them, the workers who are currently doing all the not-artificial job of teaching AI. Capitalism works by exploiting people, globalization has just made it less visible

> So what do you want to do instead?

I want people, those who wield tools, those who build tools, those who use resources, to be the ones to decide what we build, how we build it, how much we build it. I don't want industry to regulate itself, I want the users to be their own industry, or if they don't want to/can't, to control the industry.

> Anarchy can't price externalities, how does it propose to prevent anyone from dumping in the river?

Contrary to popular belief, anarchism doesn't mean the absence of rules. How does capitalism proposes to prevent anyone from dumping in the river ? It doesn't, there are rules outside of capitalism that block it from dumping. The trick is to work out who decides the rules.

Anarchism is about taking control of our lives, of our futures. It's about doing for ourselves rather than complaining and hoping someone else does it better for us.
Looks very promising. I’ve been trying to implement a similar workflow with Obsidian using daily notes, Full Calendar plugin and keeping notes/links collection for every tasks. But I realized that having a more focused UI (instead of switching tabs in Obsidian) is very powerful.
Looks great, congrats on launching. Is this in a similar vein to https://partykit.io/?
Thanks for validating my point, in America it's more a cultural issue I think, everyone is still hung up on getting a house with the yard and the white fence with a car like the 1950s, unfortunately that was 70 years ago.
Yeah it was indeed. You essentially had to code event handlers to react to window size changes in which you repositioned your UI elements to maintain/scale your UI. I remember some of the first 'library' code I ever wrote as a professional developer was reusable "layout" handlers for VB3. Good times!

How does that work from an API perspective? Do I just "try" to create a loan and if not compliant with the location it returns back some kind of error. Or do I request some kind of margin value and you calculate how to get that in a given jurisdiction. Or some other flow?

Oh, about editor, I use sublime, but the difference maker is clangd. It’s the most powerful and easy to use code intelligence I’ve found for C.

I had the same thing - I was making something spicy and couldn't understand why it had absolutely no taste. This was just as Covid was taking off in Europe and I was quarantined at home after a trip in Austria. I had about 3 days without any taste whatsoever before news began to circulate that loss of taste/smell was a common symptom and that's when I became one of the first couple of hundred in the country I live in to test positive for Covid.
I am in the UK, you know, red bricks everywhere, that's why I know that the description I replied to means that those brick walls are indeed garbage if they are built by 'nonprofessionals' because this IS a very skilled job (and I was also being facetious).

It was required of my sister to participate in 23andMe for an anthropology class of hers in college. I cringe now at what a violation that was. Even if she had the option to decline (which I am not sure she did), it's hard to say no to your professor when you're 19.

Both may be a net negative to society, but the major social media companies collect quite a lot in advertising revenue, and are thus profitable to the shareholders.

OpenSea was only profitable while there were still suckers available. Not at all the same.

Instagram is more like Exxon or something. A very profitable enterprise whose social harms may not be adequately internalized, and would require legislation to fix.

by no means is go/java/rust/c++ a silver bullet. it is a way to raise the bar for debugging, reliability, support. it is more effective than bundling python with 5 other type bandaids. in the medium/long term, lets guess at 2 KLoC or >3 person team, these typed langs will result in faster feature development and lower issues in production.
Let's be real here for a moment. Amazon didn't implement a system like that 'For The Children', they did it to limit their liability and produce goodwill/leniency/court-appeal for when, if ever, they need it.

It produces a very nice after-effect of additional safety, but it's not the raison d'etre.
funny thing is the 9900k was criticized pretty harshly at the time for its power consumption. expectations around power consumption have really changed over the last few years.
Or perhaps: are there good web games anymore?

Whether it's consumer trends or technical accessibility, it seems to be more of a "wasteland" than it was 10 years ago. [Old man shakes fist at clouds.] Meaning more "small and not very good games" or a focus on simpler concepts à la Wordle.

Did developers move to mobile? Was there something about Flash that reduced the barrier to entry that we have lost? Did consumer preferences change? Is this all anecdote and the indie game scene is thriving?
> I am reasonably certain I had covid in January 2020

Probably not, there were nasty flu strains circulating then that are much more likely an explanation. It had already spread somewhat, but not enough to be a likely cause until March even in the areas with early outbreaks like Italy and NYC etc. Exponential growth means that not long before everyone has it, the vast majority don’t have it.
I'd say crypto is not very good for tax evasion. The immutable record on a blockchain thing may be a pain compared to cash in hand.

I played Ur-Quan Masters for the first time earlier this year. Despite its age, I found it to be one of the finest games that I'd ever played. The story, in particular, is just perfect, and has just the right mixture of seriousness and comedy, very much in the same style as another (even older) classic, Starflight. Being able to build the game from source and read through the code was a nice bonus.

I highly recommend checking it out; if you can get over the rather dated graphics and gameplay mechanics then you'll find this to be a real gem.

You're a web developer but your mental map of the web consists of "documents" on one end and "applications like a video game, video/audio/level/text editor(s)" on the other?

You haven't in your career, stumbled across web (sites/apps) that sit somewhere on the spectrum between the extremes of "document" vs "app"?

It strikes me that there's a fairly even distribution between those two points - even if we discount all the misguided "could have been a static site but someone decided it had to be an app" decisions.

I actually agree with you on reigning in javascript but I think much of the web is poorer without it. We had an answer for this years back and it was called "progressive enhancement".
For JSON there is the `jmespath` library which might help.

prints 2

print(jmespath.search(

))
prints None

See my other replies: it's not about the will of the masses, it's about our collective will of us, the tech people, to build the tools that make using these technologies ubiquitous. We've been fixated on our own problems ("what is the best framework for building a blog ?") instead of acting with everyone else to build what we collectively want. It's our responsibility to be of use to the society, not just to us.

It could save a bank from an immediate liquidity disaster. But it’s not a guaranteed long or even medium term solution.

Imagine, in an extreme case, a bank with $1 billion par value of treasury bonds, with mark to market value of $800M. And $1 billion of customer deposits. And that’s it. (Obviously this is unrealistic.). Now the customers flee. The bank borrows against its $1bn of bonds and pays off the customers. The bank now has no customers, $1bn (par) of bonds, and $1bn of short-term debt to the Fed. They can roll that debt over forever, but they need to pay interest, and, when you imagine that $1bn (par!) of bonds as being worth $1bn, that’s only if they are held, earning essentially no interest, to maturity.

So the bank has no income and is obligated to pay interest to the Fed until the bonds mature, and they can’t. Not can they sell the bonds because they will take a loss and be unable to roll over the loan. In other words, they’d be insolvent. They’re in the hole by $200M of present value, and they need assets or an income stream to back that up.

The normal business of banking can provide that income stream. For example, sufficiently lazy customers will deposit funds at less than market interest, and the bank can earn the difference.
