> This is the kind of mindset that leads to people committing suicide.

I agree with this, I’ve seen it play out numerous times. This sort of reasoning barely works on a surface level if at all and requires maintaining at least one giant blind spot — in this case it’s likely impossible to “get over” the intense need for constant unwavering control over one’s internal state that lead to the creation of the 48 hour rule.

The sort of terror underlying the thought of who a person might become if they were to slip up and be sad for three days or two weeks etc. can only be ignored, suppressed or (self)medicated — certainly not “overcome” in that window.
Whose money is he handling?

The 1000 people whose $20 he's handling, many of which he likely won't see again for months, or the 1 boss whose $20,000 he's handling daily and sees daily.

I think it would be easier to reason with one consistent boss than 1000 new strangers daily... but the boss punts it up to "corporate" and they say no.

Instead of pleading with the public to tip more, everyone should just leave. See how "corporate" enjoys paying rent and movie screening fees on a theatre that brings in $0 due to having no staff. Either they shut it down, which is fine, none of the workers were happy there anyway, or they start paying a decent wage, allowing breaks, allowing meal breaks, and allowing vacation like any reasonably humane job.

There has to be enough excess profit in an industry in order for a worker shortage to force the wages up.

North eastern crab fisheries are likely not profitable enough (due to market rate for their products, or whatever it is), so they will likely fold/go out of business instead (unless automation can save/increase the productivity per worker, and then they can stay in business but with fewer workers - who will be better remunerated).

Another commenter below used the phrases high and low value accounts which gets to the crux of why 2FA is a PITA (for me). GitHub is a low value account for me. It's basically Pinterest for code; I track interesting repos, sometimes I raise an issue, and I have dark mode turned on. I have 2-3 garbage private repos that I don't use, so if my account was compromised, it'd be like this:

It would be like if Reddit started requiring 2FA to 'protect my account'.

If I was using GH in a professional capacity, this would be different. But I guess I resent that I don't get to make the choice. Security Daddy at GitHub thinks I'm too stupid.

You know the difference between a staff abused by customers and who are paid below the living level wage and a staff abused by customers and who are paid higher than the living level wage?

The latter can actually live on their wage and don't need tips to sustain themselves. Now tell me, do the abusive customers sets the wage or the owner of the business?

That would be the only thing that makes sense actually.

I have various old phones at family members' homes that still speak ISDN or "regular landline" to the respective router. The router used to also connect via ISDN and/or regular POTS to the phone company at various points in time. Nowadays it's actually some sort of VOIP protocol as well and those old phones don't care. Nor should they need to care.

Nor should a caller somewhere on the other end of the world care about that and vice versa what that caller uses to connect to their provider.

If VoLTE doesn't support that, then color me unimpressed and fully against it. Not that I can stop it, but it would be completely utterly stupid ;)
Interesting article. Just says moscovia has some EW stuff, and it might actually work, which is shocking.

Our thinking here is, we're going to settle Israel/Palestine once and for all, on this message board thread; a pity, we think, nobody ever thought of just tossing the question to us in the first place. The lives that could have been saved.
I once made a similar mistake. It ended up being reported in the Economist.

We had developed the central trading system for a major country, which conducted its primary bill and bond issuance through our platform. Approximately once a week, in the mornings, banks would place orders for government bills, specifying a price and the volume they wished to purchase at that price. They submitted multiple orders, indicating a willingness to buy more at higher yields.

Once all orders were submitted, the instrument would be suspended, and a scaled order report generated. The central bank would then retreat to a room to analyze the data, determining how much they could borrow and at what rate. For example, they might be able to borrow a billion at 10% interest, but only 500 million at 8%.

After settling on a price, they would issue a large sell order to match the existing orders, leaving any unmatched orders in the book. We would then restart the instrument in a continuous trading mode, allowing banks to continue buying and selling the new series.

I was tasked with enhancing the instrument suspension feature. The enhancement involved adding a flag and a button to the GUI, allowing for the optional withdrawal of orders when suspending an instrument. This seemingly simple protocol required adding a byte as a flag, indicating either 0 or 1, at the end of the message. After incorporating this feature into both the system and the UI, and following extensive testing, we deployed it.

However, during the next auction, an issue arose. When the operators suspended the market, all orders were mistakenly withdrawn. To avoid the embarrassment of asking participants to resubmit their orders, they announced the auction's cancellation due to poor participation and unfavorable pricing.

The root of the problem was discovered later. Operations had been using a command-line tool to suspend the market, a tool I wasn't even aware of. As the auction price report was generated from the command line just before the report, the command-line tool had a random value in the withdrawal flag's place, leading to the withdrawal of all orders.

Thus, no progress is made to resolve the actual problem.

> Well, if Stencil is a Web Component framework using native Web Component technologies and strategies, transferring from Lit to Stencil will probably be a lot easier than from React to Angular or something.

Literally everything that's on the web is using "native technologies and strategies". Because there's nothing else.

So, extraordinary claims require extraordinary proofs. I eagerly await a description, with examples, of how much work there is to convert a non-trivial lit component to Stencil.

Why non-trivial? Because trivial components are easy to convert from anything to anything. You could convert a trivial React component into knockout.js, then to Angular, and then to Lit, and back, in under half a day even if you've never worked with those technologies before.

> And there are actually not that many things specific to Lit

I've listed a few of them. They are opinionated enough that lit code and stencil code are completely different and incompatible.

Besides, there are a dozen or so libraries and frameworks that can, or do, compile to web components. Their code is also different from lit's.

> But their main npm package [0] is 47.8 MB

This is completely beside the point. We're not discussing Stencil, or the opinions its authors may or may not have taken.
One possible reason is that Apple wants to build more fintech products that they still need a banking partner for, and don't want to launch anything new with Goldman since they know the partnership hasn't worked out. So it may just be easier to start the process to find a new partner so you don't slow down product launches.

For some background on the setting, you can check out this thread [0]. My system rarely reboots and I'm the only user, so I just set this manually every single boot by popping open nvidia-settings, going to the X Screen settings, clicking Advanced, then enabling the Force Full Composition Pipeline checkbox, and applying. While I was searching, I also found a this resource [1] for automating that a bit, a few shell scripts that just call nvidia-settings and some xorg config tweaks.

Yeah, I had an Amex card and it was pretty useless in Europe. Admittingly that was more than five years ago so maybe things have improved by now.
The piece you cite here at no point supports (or even makes) the outlandish claim you've made here.
That’s not really what I’m saying. Understanding the causes of your circumstances obviously doesn’t necessarily entail what is in your control or not. However focusing only on the levers you control, while remaining blind to the causes of the problem is just as useless as the other way around. Only by bringing together a clear model of the problem with a rigorous analysis of possible interventions can you really make forward progress in your life.

Heres an example that I think is likely similar to what OP is imagining when they think of “victim mentality”: say I’m a woman in a technical field who is experiencing misogyny in my workplace. I have several levers available to me: I can quit and seek a new job, I can work harder, I can contact HR, I can confront the misogynist directly, I can request a transfer to another team, etc. But if I simply pretend “it’s my fault” I will likely only recognize the first two as viable options, even if they’re not globally optimal (ex. if the misogynist is in charge of promotions simply working harder will likely not result in the rewards I’m seeking). Observe that in this example I am still keeping the control, and I am emphatically not saying “oh well I guess I’ll never get promoted” and accepting mediocrity. But an honest stock-take of the things within my control, and their likely efficacy at addressing the problem I’m facing, 100% requires the realization that I am being victimized by someone.
I agree, but here’s your notification: if you go to a bar or restaurant and receive service you should tip.

If you don’t like this, don’t go.
Minor nit:

> Costco Card: Amex -> Visa

Amex -> Citi.

Amex was both the issuer and the network (they're vertically integrated, so to speak). The shift saw Citi become the issuer on the Visa network.
and there dead and kidnapped jewish children? maybe blame the terrorist that are more concerned with killing jews than helping the people they claim to represent.

> Isn't RHEL supposed to be the distro that gives you long-term support and stability for things? Why are they committing to remove X before Wayland gets full feature parity with it?

Because they provide long term support. With RHEL10 being released in 2025, that would mean having to support Xorg up to 2035, which they obviously do not want.

Additionally, it would slow down the transition. Many would take it, that they have extra time and need not bother yet. By this announcement, it is clear that there are no extra years, clock is ticking, by 2029 the Xorg is dead.
Similar things I've heard:

Just because something isn't your fault doesn't mean it's not your responsibility.

Hardship is a guarantee; victimhood is a choice.

If you see a piece of trash, you can think that people are terrible for littering, or you can pick it up. It only takes a small percentage of people littering to destroy an environment but it also only takes a small percentage of people to clean it up.
Just because someone is in need doesn't mean they can't spend some money on soft drinks. This is classist. It's basically "because you're poor you don't deserve chocolate, because you're more likely to be obese".

9.5% of that money being spent on soft drinks is not the problem. The problem is the amount of processed garbage and sugar in most American food.

Buying healthy food is unfortunately a privilege. To have the time to stay fit/healthy (whether going to the gym or taking walks) in this world of processed garbage is a privilege, because time is a precious resource that some people seriously cannot afford.

I'm more interested in the savings account integration. I've found it super convenient. Too low APR for long term savings, but the convenience is worth the difference to me for short term savings parking. I keep $30K or so in it revolving for moving money around. Not to mention the cashback deposit right to the account.
I am sorry but stating the truth is beyond criticism. If someone is wrong you can state a different fact that illuminates their facts, or wait until they lie, which they must do if they are sticking with the wrong ideas.

You can't criticize someone for saying something that's true, and people only do so when they are losing the argument. If you're so beaten back that you're resorting to that, I will help you: Hamas killed more Israeli children than Saddam killed American children.
If you're gonna stew over something then that should be: How can I make sure this shit doesn't happen to me again?

Not only it doesn't provide improvment, it needs 20+ new web standards to fix the issues that literally nothing else has. I've gone ahead and quoted directly from the report made by people who keep developing these specs.

And yet you've ignored literally everything I wrote and keep answering something entirely else.

Indeed, they do. I listed a bunch of them. And yet you keep pretending that I'm talking about "React workflows" or something.

I think I agree with you, but in trivial projects even the infamous slow compilers are fine. Toy Rust projects and small Java projects get compiled very fast.

You’re severely underestimating how much a billion dollars is if you really think this is true.

The fact the Apple card was a Mastercard and had no foreign transaction fees was largely the only reason I opened it, as I too find my Amex a pain in the ass in Europe. If it does become an Amex card, I will likely close the account.

I wonder if there is another issuer(s) lined up for the card and the savings account.

The savings account doesn't have the highest interest rates, but I like how my Apple Card cashback can go right into the savings account. It's kind of like a set it and forget it type of thing.

I'm hoping this isn't the end of the Apple Card or the savings account though. It's nice getting 2% CB on Apple Pay and 3% on Apple products.

NO s**. That was my point. I apologize for the directness here, but you are out of touch with reality. If there is no political will to increase baseline wages for service staff, then the end result is exactly the same - employees will blame bad tippers because of the (what should be abnormal) tipping culture in the US, and are dependent on employers for their hours of work, so they'll lay blame wherever available.

I waited tables at semi-high-end restaurants. Worked doubles opening and closing from 10a to 12p... averaged 11/h on the busiest nights after carrying trays upon heavy trays for what felt like hours on end. I KNOW what I'm talking about from personal experience. I didn't mind the work, shift-leader, blah blah blah. I had colleagues walking away with 15 bucks TOTAL after a 5 hour shift, but it was averaged out to at least 7.35/h bi-weekly, so you can imagine the end result.

It's not sustainable. It's denigrating.
