Hum... When the computer we command run into that kind of problem, it's almost universally better to fix incompatibilities post-fact with an exceptional process than it's to avoid creating them.

But somehow, people are never allowed to do that.

But rest assured that if you need a heavy process just to coordinate a handful of developers, you have a bad architecture. Even if you do pessimistic preemptive coordination.
Would this not be self reported by wallet owners? Because if each transaction uses a unique wallet address, funds are very difficult to connect to an owner. Until they’re connected to a sale to fiat at least?
With Paddle, you need to submit domains to be approved. Approval can take four business days. On their website approval screen:

> Your website must link through to, or contain, your: terms of service, privacy notice and refund policy to be successfully approved.

I haven't tried LemonSqueezy, I'll check them out. Interestingly, Paddle and LemonSqueezy have the same pricing: 5% + 50¢.

EDIT: Seems like LemonSqueezy is for more suitable for digital goods like downloads. I don't see how I could use it for my domain registrar business.
I totally agree with the idea that balanced quotes are needed to make quoting sane. If the quotes in a string are balanced then it should be possible to quote it with no changes.

I would also advocate the principle that you don't escape the escape character by doubling it. There are two problems with replacing \ with \\: firstly the length of the string doubles with each nested quotation; secondly you can't tell at a glance whether \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n contains a newline character or an n because it depends on whether the number of backslashes is odd or even.

Another useful principle is to escape a quote character with a sequence that does not contain that character: then it is much easier to check whether the quotes are balanced because you don't need to check whether any of them are escaped.

So here's a possible algorithm for quoting a string: first identify the top-level quote characters that don't match (this is not totally trivial but it isn't difficult or computationally expensive); then, in parts of the string that are not inside nested quotes, but only there, replace « with \<, » with \>, and \ with \_ (say). Does that work?

Has anyone gotten out of daily 8:30am stand-up meetings?
These have been killing me lately because I haven't been able to get to sleep before 12:30am and I'm always half an hour - 1 hour sleep deprived. It seems easier at this point to fake a weekly Friday appointment ("physical therapy") or to encourage our manager to change the schedule. Otherwise I could move to the east coast and start later. Any tips? I'm struggling with these useless meetings destroying my sleep.
Africa has a large population living on subsistence level wages. The large number of people scales very well right now.

> because that's what young men want to do, dig ditches for no wage or subsistence-level wage.

It is an investment - see that bare desert over there, work off energy by digging it. Then when they "grow up" they discover that bare desert is their land to farm and their time was really a good investment in their future and gives them a good remainder of their life, and their kids a chance for an even better life.

Those who can will leave (unless they love farming), but today the majority don't have any better place to go. Stay in the village at the edge of the desert and dig in these green places means a better life than going to the city and trying to find a jobs (remember these people don't have skills in demand in the city either, other than their ability to dig ditches in the city, at least in the desert they can take ownership of the land they make better and have a farm.)

Ideally in 50 years Africa will improve conditions and industrial scale farming will take over, sending 98% of the people (there decedents) to a city where they work not as basic labor but as skilled labor (doctors, engineers...). However they are not in this position now and this looks like a step on the path to getting there.
I don't know how to code. I wish I did, but it is a skill I have never been able to pick up. I am hoping that eventually, at some point, AI is able to be a zero code interface so I can create something with help of course.

I can't code, but I undersand coding concepts like variables, Booleans, etc.
> Anyone else remember less from reading an ebook compared to a physical one? [...] But in a physical book, I often remember that a phrase was at the top or middle or left side of a page, or that I was sitting in a particular chair when I read it.

This seems weird to me. Does your ebook reader not have a "page" concept? I read China Mieville's Kraken on a Rakuten Kobo about 6 months ago and I distinctly remember the layout of the page where the protagonist does something that shows the culmination of his personal growth throughout the novel, or the page where you find out who is burning the past and why. I also remember distinctly where I was sitting when I read both of those passages.

The biggest difference between the eBook and physical book experiences for me is the smell--I miss the smell of the binding glue when cracking open a new book, or the pleasantly-stale paper smell of an old library book. I'm not saying that the eBook and physical book experiences are equivalent at all. I'm just saying the specific examples you're pointing out seem odd to me.

I'm also highly skeptical of the observations that come from a mind perceiving itself; one of the most striking takeaways from all the neuroscience I've read in the past few decades is that a lot of previous philosophy and psychology theory on how the brain works based on self-perception is blatantly just wrong.
> it seems more like FedEx only allows specific characters which is even worse)

If I read it right it sounds even worse. Fedex allows the characters and then random stuff just breaks.

It is much preferred to get a simple "only english alphabet and numbers please" warning message when you are trying to set the password than not getting any warning and then things breaking.
Anyone have a TLDR summary of what is interesting in this very long page?
True, it's the only way I can for example run Mixtral on a 8GB GPU, but main memory will always have more latency so some tradeoff tends to be worth it. And parts like the prompt batch buffer and most of the context generally have to be in VRAM if you want to use cuBLAS, with OpenBLAS it's maybe less of a problem, but it is slower.

Satoshi stepped away from Bitcoin in 2010 and handed over the project to the maintainers.

Len started posting about Bitcoin in 2010 (post Satoshi handing the project over).

It seems to me, if Len was Satoshi, he grew distant from the project. Maybe it wasn't the cypherpunk utopia he envisioned. Maybe the wikileaks and silkroad issues weren't what he wanted to enable. Perhaps he wanted to distance himself further from the project.
Wow what a cool little piece of hardware! If it was just a bit smaller and had a radio for it, it would be an amazing phone
I don't agree with the Ps take. China, Russia and Iran definitely do not want a filter-free internet. They want to suppress discourse.

They censor because they want to control the narrative and to deliver their own propaganda.

Western nations seem to have become attracted to the approach authoritarians have been using since we had a printing press. We saw that with Covid and also with the infamous Hunter Biden laptop as well as with mass shootings --sometimes they disclose info, other times they don't disclose info.
For what it's worth, Wealthfront's HYSA offers free same-day transfers, at least to major banks (they just need to support RTP transfers, which many do). But I agree with your point that an emergency fund is fine as long as you can access it within a few days.
Quick note that Prisma (and most of the other modern tools) never "drops everything" for normal migrations. A database reset is a solution suggested when your migration history and the actual database are not in sync, which makes it impossible for Prisma to "calculate" the migration SQL to get the database in the desired state (which is defined in Prisma schema).

The commands that suggest a reset are explicitly designed for use with development databases, not with production. The "deploy migrations to production database" command on the other hand only applies already existing migration files (that you have reviewed before) and does not suggest a reset, ever.

With built in emoji entry keywords in every modern OS how many devices are left that can't type emoji? Even if you plan to restrict to Unicode Version N - 1 or N - 2 where N is the current version to avoid "user can't type password on older hardware", the proportion of emoji you can reliably type today on just about any device is huge.
i worked at a startup that did them at 4pm localtime on thursdays only. it was awesome.
That was a very early chip!

MathWork’s Neural Network Toolbox for MATLAB didn’t come out till 1991.

It didn’t use that chip.

Single core CPU only back then. I don’t recall any quantitative measure of how fast it was, other than some problems took days. Every new Intel CPU generation at that time was cause for celebration: massive time savings!

MATLAB ran on all kinds of machines then, including Cray supercomputers. But I don’t know of any reports of what kind of NN speedup a Cray delivered

These were tiny tiny problems!
I think the issue with this solution is that the seller loses control over their branding (namely what ads to show) if they do this.

We shouldn't jump to conclusions. The article explicitly states that Seafly was responsible for the aircraft's maintenance.
It indeed wasn't the topic at all
The article in the comment you responded to contains the following information:

"Since COSIC was based in Leuven, Len was living in Belgium during Bitcoin’s development. This is salient given that a number of facts suggest that Satoshi was based in Europe...

Satoshi’s writing exhibits spelling and word choices idiosyncratic of British English such as “bloody difficult”, “flat”, “maths”, grey”, as well as the dd/mm/yyyy date format. However, Satoshi also refers to Euros rather than pounds.
These clues leave us with a paradox: they suggest Satoshi was European, yet someone with the requisite skillset and exposure to Bitcoin’s primary influences would likely have been American. Much of the Cypherpunk community coalesced conferences and meetups, part of why a disproportionate number hailed from America and especially SF. The jobs where one could have gained cutting-edge professional infosec and crypto experience were similarly concentrated in the US.

Strangely enough, Len used the very same British English as Satoshi even though he was American."
"Inflation risk is not downside risk."

"But it doesn’t factor into whether an investment is considered “safe,” as that term is typically used in this context."

If you ignore real terms and don't care about actual value (the entire goal of investing), sure. I guess is cash is "safe" too if your ok with losing double digit percentages of your valve over the past 3 years.
This is why we have terms like "On the other hand", "in this case", and similar. These are used in memory palace mostly.
Long time ago I had to rebuild a cousins computer because it was crashing from all the malware.

After I finished cleaning it, I plugged it into the cable modem within seconds the computer was having pop-up ads, and every kind of malware you could imagine.

So rebuilt it once again, then installed antivirus from a disk before hooking it up to the internet. It was actually functional.
Caveat not your parent.

What's recent?

I have a busy life. I don't really code outside of work any more. I do woodworking or something else. The newest code you'll see from me is probably when I tried to make a game using Roblox just for fun for the kids. That's been a while. I don't have a github account and that's on purpose. I don't do open source work any longer and the most recent you'll find is probably 20 years old.

Code from work? Not gonna show that to you or you're not gonna hire me because I break NDAs ;)

Personally I do like the git one tho. Even if you use a GUI (unless it renames things it really shouldn't) would allow someone to answer what the conceptual differences are between pulling and rebasing!

FWIW: pull is a combination of fetch+merge, so not a rebase at all. They can be similar, in case your pull and rebase both happen to result in a simple fast-forward operation, which is literally just "moving a label" (or in 'real' terms, changing a commit hash inside one file in the .git directory).

Am I hired?
Studied electrical engineering, slanging code.

I honestly don't care if I am using the degree, but I also didn't pay what the kids are paying these days.
Len was a Macbook user, but he would not have done Bitcoin on his personal laptop. It's much more likely he used available PCs in a computer lab on the campus he studied/worked at, which were likely Windows machines.

It's also been shown Satoshi (and Len's) activities aligned and they overlapped with a school/academic year.

Neural networks have two different compute costs: training and inference.

These are roughly analogous to compile time vs runtime for compiled programming languages.

Training is in general a more intensive task. However, in an ideal scenario training is run once and inference is run millions of times, so the lifetime cost of inference is bigger - this is why it might make sense to optimize for intense.

Compare this to USPS, which is so secure that I can't get back into the account I created to manage deliveries for my home address, and there is absolutely no recourse. (no customer or technical support, going into a USPS office does nothing, etc) I still receive e-mails at my old e-mail address about deliveries coming to my home, but I can not turn them off, change the e-mail address, etc.

Lead acid is used for most UPSes. Lithium ion is bad battery type for UPS since has lower cycles and safety, and power density doesn't matter. LiFePO4 would be perfect, with good cycles, current, and safety.

But manufacturers don't use it. Maybe they haven't redesigned after the price dropped. Or maybe cause prices is still too high. I think LiFePO4 would be most useful for rack mounts, or small UPSes that aren't possible with lead acid.
Well, Ferrari also tells people not to break speed limits. But if their cars started breaking apart at 85mph they would still be blamed. This might not be warranty repair, intel is probably not liable legally, but this should have impact on their reputation: intel put out a chip that does not handle overclocking very well. Ok. I'll remember that when I am shopping for my next chip.

I am. It has essentially become my favorite computer for general "puttering" -- watching content, light browsing, messaging. Whereas before maybe I'd curl up with my mac in my lap in bed, or doom scroll on my phone, I now use it, and it is far more enjoyable and comfortable.

For FOCUSED work at my job, where I really want no distractions and to just stare at something for a while and work deeply on it, it has been nice to use it as a replacement monitor. But, for general work, I still prefer my "normal" two-screen monitor setup at work, since it is easier to task-switch and go talk to people and come back, and AVP doesn't yet support multiple monitors.
> so I dont really remember the commands nor see the value in putting effort into it

curiosity? knowing everything you can about the world around you? having used what is possibly the most critical piece of software for working with other people that you encountered some rare exception to common workflows that required you to learn more about the plumbing?

> It is like asking about vsCode shortcuts (it'd probably be even more useful, since you spend more time in your editor)

My editor isn't vscode, so vscode shortcuts wouldn't be helpful to me, the interviever. But again, it's about ability to work with others, the demonstration that you understand systems that you could get away without knowing. You're right, you can be productive while understanding nothing about git, that doesn't mean you're good, or competent, just productive. I don't want to hire people who can write thousands of lines of code, I want to hire people who can do the same in just 100 lines.

> than boring tools which can be used in various ways

that's really what it comes down to isn't it. It's not interesting to you so you don't want to invest the time in learning it because it's boring. I doubt anyone would agree knowing fewer things is better, so I cant help but read this as sharpening my ax is boring, so I just don't do it.
That's the world you want to live in?
Sounds like this person was really smart to begin with. High-level societal awareness caused them to choose the private route, and focus on releasing something for the greater good.

I wouldn't be surprised if this person never even took a single bitcoin for themselves, other than the ones used for code testing purposes. That would create another avenue for people to come after them if it became public that they hoarded some of the Bitcoin for themselves.
What's the theory? We are definitely being replaced by immigrants.

The issues raised and the woke bias can be simultaneously true, making this a false dichotomy.
> you erroneously believe that "wokeism

This is an ironic statement. On the one hand, you are able to read my mind and determine the worldview and intent behind my words. One the other, you suggest I'm doing the same to people who subscribe to "wokeism".

Meanwhile, Jack Krawczyk, a Sr. Director of Product on Gemini, has been publicly declaring on X (over years) things like "...This is America, where the #1 value our populace seeks to uphold is racism" and "...We obviously have egregious racism in this country.." and "I’ve been crying in intermittent bursts for the past 24 hours since casting my ballot. Filling in that Biden/Harris line felt cathartic." Do you think he is an exemplar of "wokeism" (however you want to define that term)? Do you think he is influential within the Gemini org? Do you think he is emblematic of the worldview of Google employees? Do you think his words are those of the type of person who is "just trying to be decent" but has made honest mistakes in his work?

> I am saying it is not hard to imagine,

This is really pretty pedantic, don't you think? I'd bet most people who read those words understood what I meant. Which is that it is unlikely (though, yes, not hard to imagine) that Gemini will allow users to alter the system prompt.

The bottom line is, Google appears to have either 1) introduced extreme bias into Gemini in some way or 2) to be pretty incompetent. Neither inspires confidence.
Polycarbonate is great for UV resistance, though not sure that matters for something you use indoors. I’ll grant you scratch-prone.

There are additives and coatings for everything now, and the glass Apple is using is also highly engineered so you can get just what you want no matter what. I’ll bet it comes down to feel and consumer experience.
> If there are over 300 microservices running code, connected to mainframes running code that was originally from the 80s, but they occasionally have password issues

And we ended up where the thread originally begin "FedEx may have the worst and least secure digital platform for a major company."

Besides that is horrible! There should be 1 microservice which deals with passwords, the authentication one. Everything else should just get a token attesting that the user is authenticated (or not).
The actual quote is “Just avoid holding it that way.“

Which is like Frank Lloyd Wright’s answer to a leaky roof at Fallingwater: “put a bucket under it.”

The post you're replying to doesn't say that Windows runs on everything. He's saying that every piece of commercial software runs on Windows, and that every widget has a Windows driver. I have found this to be quite true. If you have Windows, you can impulse-buy pretty much anything and end up OK.
I believe his point is you're part of the issue with interviewing as well. People design arbitrary trivia for people to answer and won't hire unless their workflow overlaps yours.

For example, someone is hiring a chef for their restaurant:

Q: "What is the difference between X local priduce supplier and Y local produce supplier?"

A:"Where I work we had an exclusive relationship with X supplier so we never used Y supplier."

Q: "Hmm ok, tell me the last fancy meal you cooked at home."

A:"I spend all day cooking for my job. At home my spouse does the cooking because they really enjoy it."

Q:"Ok thanks no hire."

A:"In an executive chef with great credentials and experience. Do you want to ask me about and evaluate me on my actual job?"

Q:" No thanks. I want someone who has the exact same experiences as I do. And I once spent a long time evaluating suppliers and found a better one. And I'm single so do all the cooking at home."

And overall I don't mean to isolate you, but every time I see someone say they don't have extreme coding questions, they instead fall back to using the most non-representative arbitrary signals for decision making.
