I think it's sensible to have at the very least federation function as intended ahead of DM's as I imagine DM is another part pretty contingent on federation due to the privacy issues becoming approximately 10x more complicated with federation. ;-) Twitter is having it easy.

Videos might be more of a resource issue. Hardly a good time to launch videos almost at the same timeframe as they spike their user base by going public.
I opened a Sofi account when interest rates started rising after having only a Truist account paying 10 bps. Sofi paid $300 bonus and that was what actually got me to actually make the switch (their average cac must be over $400!). Its so interesting how the switching costs are very low but still feel high enough that it is tough to actually open new accounts even when you can easily earn $500 extra per year per $10k in balance.

As a small merchant I can tell you: cash sucks to deal with and it costs money too. I went to cashless years ago. The 2.x% I eat in processing is more than made up for in not having to deal with shrinkage (either due to theft or inaccuracy or counterfiet bills), security, having to count money and go to the bank regularly, etc.

It's probably different when you're at a much larger scale than I am, but even Wal-Mart (who I was employed by in my late teens) has all sorts of cash-handling procedures to mitigate the risk of money just walking away. Even a their scale, they spend 1% on CC processing, but by the time they added up all of the labor and expenses of cash handling,it might be comparable. And for a small business it's likely more.

And then there's the data collection which has value too.

People act like accepting cash is free, it is not.
Indeed, I went through a UNIX zealot phase, until the university computing archive showed me the parallel paths that failed to gain mainstream adoption.

So yeah UNIX-like shell and POSIX APIs are needed due to the amount of existing software we have out there, but that is about it, we should really move beyond it, for anything that isn't a server or embedded headless device.

Sounds good except it doesn’t apply in the worse cases, which are the ones where there zero uncertainty that the task will have severe negative consequences if not done on time. Meaning, hard deadlines for mandatory projects, at work, school or life.

I respect your take, because generalizing advice is always impossible and at some surface level I agree.

I’d investigate more on the poor emotional management and regulation that leads to procrastination, I think there, there is always room for self improvement that applies to other areas of life.
Then you just have to refer to the Karma bucket. "In my/their next life..."
Money market fund.

Treasury Money Market Fund seeks to provide current income while maintaining liquidity and a stable share price of $1 per share.
As one of those 6-digit UID posters, /. has been dead for quite some time. Discussions barely breach 50 comments or so now days, for the most part. The firehose sucks. The 'editors' constantly post dupes and the left hand seems to have no clue what the right hand is doing.
I am a glorified amoeba.
Not to overcomplicate things, but anyone planning to save money for >12 months should be using the BOXX ETF (https://etfsite.alphaarchitect.com/boxx/) to convert the interest income into a long-term capital gain. Even if you end up cashing out before the 12 months, you are still going to pay the same taxes as with a savings account, so there is truly no downside.
Yes, I am doing this with Reminders app.
And, crucially, last year 80% of VUSXX's interest was state tax exempt.

Unless you specifically need the features of a savings account (eg ACH), money market funds are the way to go.
How much would it cost for OpenAI to simulate Reddit?
As a senior engineer I've learned that is my job. I take on much less work than anyone else because I know I will be called on to solve those problems.

This is in fact known in management literature: assign your best people to the least important project. That way the second best can grow to become the best, while the best are always free to help out if your fourth most important project has issues - it isn't a big deal if your least important project doesn't get done on time and if they manage to finish it so much the better. (your best are also free should sales discover a short window where a quick feature can bring in a large sale - though this is obviously easy to abuse)

Uhm, what I said is that most voting systems are not that simple: eg. in USA in Trump vs Clinton, Trump won the presidency even of he won 46% of the popular vote vs 48% for Hilary: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_United_States_president...

Many voting systems require a party to pass a voting threshold to get any seats. Imagine a threshold of 5%, and 10 parties each winning 4% of the vote, with one party winning 40% and another winning 20% (4% x 10 + 40% + 20%): votes for those 10 parties get discarded any you generally have 2:1 for the two winning parties, with one having 66.6% of the seats yet only winning 40% of the votes (something like that happened in Serbia ~10 years ago).
I just got a letter from the insurance agent that I thought was going to say "THIS IS NOT A BILL" but it was a cancellation notice for my homeowner's policy. The letter was designed to be as difficult to read as possible, about 97% of the space was form letter elements that weren't relevant, in the middle of page 2 there was an area covered with large black underlines that had the reason for the cancellation typed lightly in it.

It is probably time to look for a new insurance provider but I was thinking of calling back the insurance agent and telling her I was planning to run for state senate on a platform of reforming the insurance laws and legislating that you can get 20 years in prison for sending a letter that says "THIS IS NOT A BILL" and that insurance paperwork has to be written in English excerpting any words that are shared with Latin or French. (Which I'm sure the French would approve of)

This so much, procrastination can have so many causes and is quite probably more of a symptom, just look at the other comment mentioning sleep apena and cpap... totally different from someone who has ADHD or even being at a point in life where useless crap just is hard to motivate.
I had light sleep apnea problems, it really saps the life out of you.
In my case it was probably a consequence of other problems (stress, schedule, very broadly varying work and sleep hours).

Daily physical activity and more balanced alimentation, maybe the ensuing weight loss, and sleeping with open windows, in different positions, and on softer mattresses regardless of temperature helped. I haven't run tests for a long time but it helped.
When I had really serious procrastination problems, there's one thing that helped me: coming to terms with the needs, wants or realities I was suppressing.

You might "want" to get more work done, but what you really want is to go out for an overdue drink with a friend or your girlfriend, speak to someone you miss, get some time for yourself, get something else sorted first so it stops bothering you, or simply accept that the timeframe or goals you set for your self are not realistic and will need adjusting.

The other possibility that people spoke about here is physical issues. Tiredness will cause you to be unable to perform, and it'll often manifest as procrastination. Procrastination basically is you not doing something because you either don't want to, or you aren't able to. Find out why and fix the cause.
While there are several ways that one can get billed an unforeseen amount for healthcare in the US, the pharmacy isn’t usually it. Claims are adjudicated over a switch before you pick up your drug. You know, the pharmacy benefit or insurance knows, and the pharmacy knows who each is paying how much by the time the prescription is sold at the point of sale.

If you don’t have a pharmacy benefit or insurance, because a pharmacy is obligated to charge nobody less than certain payors, pharmacies will set up in house discount cards to give cash-paying patients a break.

Change Healthcare, a pharmacy switch that’s a subsidiary of Optum, is one of the switches that process a great share of claims. Optum is a pharmacy benefit that has administers several plans, including some of these in house discount/cash plans, manufacturer discounts, and traditional employer-sponsored plans.

It’s an interesting, little-seen bit of US healthcare infrastructure that causes some chaos across pharmacies, patients, and prescribers, when down.
It might not have throttled fast enough. Without sufficient thermal mass (or with insufficient heat transfer to that thermal mass, for instance if the thermal paste is misapplied), it might heat up too fast for the sensors to keep up.
While I agree with you, the benefit is that it's automatic. That's the difference. It doesn't require anyone to count and track anything. It doesn't require thought or planning. It just happens. It doesn't require money spent on people to keep track of.

Whereas classic vending machine inventory systems requires an human person to track the re-fills or sales.

A happy medium would be no stupid cameras, but with electronic tracking and reporting of what is sold. That has to be a thing that can be done, right?
It's still the good old "but he does it too, so it's fine that I do it"

No, it's not.

We moved past that so we have an (in theory) independent arbiter, in this case WTO.
This is cool! I'd love to also see the leaders' rates over time, rather than a point-in-time snapshot. Switching banks is relatively time consuming. I'd prefer to choose a bank with the highest rate over the last 1yr, 2yr, 3yr+ periods.
I found that consuming a lot of that content is just another form of procrastination. It gives me the illusion that I’m doing something or moving forward, but ultimately I still don’t get anything done.

I keep thinking eventually I’ll watch the right video, or read the right blog, that will be the silver bullet to solving the problem, but I don’t think that exists.

Usually if I’m procrastinating it’s because the thing isn’t clearly defined, I lack knowledge around the best way to do it, I haven’t done it before, and I feel like I’m going to screw it up… and I don’t want to screw it up, so I don’t do it at all. This is deeply rooted and a few videos aren’t going to change that for me.
are there any screen shots from before this? This is interesting, but it feels like it is only the last half of a post
Almost certainly not. Just today we had a (1940) submission[1] and I remember stuff from the 19th century at least.

HYSA are great but even better are buying money market funds or tbills.

Money market funds restrictions are they can be bought/sold during market hours and tbills have a specified lock up period, like a month or more. Both can be bought from your broker, it’s intimidating but actually quite simple.

For example buying money market vusxx fund today is giving an equivalent 6.25% apy for high tax earners in California - this is because much of it is tax exempt whereas hysa is not.

This google sheet has all of the current rates and is useful: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1v3fn3sZRvkSgqb-RnN2g...

Git questions are weird for me

Cuz, I use git gui and I switch to cli like a once a month at best, so I dont really remember the commands nor see the value in putting effort into it

It feels like people fixated on git details think everyone has the same work flow as they do, so for them it feels like git cli proficiency is really needed.

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

Id really prefer being asked about algos, compilers, web dev, system design, whatever heavily software related (even religious topics like SOLID) than boring tools which can be used in various ways

Some backlash is perfectly ignorable. The twitter mob will move onto the next thing in a few days. And the proliferation of turned-to-the-max DEI employee policies, inclusion committees and self-censored newspeak does come from the californic technobubble cesspit.

There is such a great liberal fear of being perceived as any of the negative -ists and -isms that the pendulum swings to the other extreme where the left horseshoe toe meets its rightmost brother, which is why SD and Google's new toy rewrite ancient European history to include POC's and queer people.

The people who were in charge, criminalised possession of the letters the Americans were dropping, and those who attempted the coup to continue fighting were from the leadership (not top level, but they did have a lot of support in aggregate).

This isn't to justify civilian casualties, it's only and entirely that the people with the power to surrender were given the opportunity to do so and made aware of the reason to do so well before the nukes actually exploded, and decided they preferred to fight.

Indeed you are right. And I was once laughed out of security meeting

systems for one of our nuclear power plants might have issues.

TBH, I think the laughter was very, very nervous and I distinctly
heard the sound of a penny dropping.

I only recently discovered this.

Are there any practical advantages to high yield savings account, then? Or do they only exist for people who don't understand how to buy money market funds?
Just FYI:

I have (treated) obstructive sleep apnea.

The doctor first tried me out on a CPAP machine during a sleep study, but I couldn't tolerate it.

Eventually he made me an oral appliance (mostly acrylic) [0] that works great. It just keeps my jaw a little forward while I sleep. It also fixes my teeth-grinding problem.

I don't think that's an unpopular opinion at all, but it's still just victim blaming. People are run over on sidewalks, cyclists on cycling paths or just standing at red lights. There's basically only one type of road user that is a danger to anyone else [0], the focus should be to make drivers less dangerous and not to make everyone else even more aware. Where I live people already wear high-viz clothing when riding a bike or even just going for a walk, but still get run over.

daily reminder that you are probably not cynical enough about your job:

https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2009/10/07/the-gervais-principle-...
Most of it, no. But reading GTD by Paul Allen helped me develop some tools to create a fairly low effort routine that helps (although sometimes I fall off, I asked my partner to help coax back on if she senses I fell off). I also just created a very rudimentary reward system to incentivize good behavior.

That’s not the point, though. You need to qualify that your behavior is creating stress or problems, be motivated to solve it, and be open to uncomfortable changes. However, things like ADHD and depression will be very significant obstacles to that (I have both), making it seem impossible to take even the smallest, earliest step. Only ones qualified to help you with that is a professional.

I believe the most useful framing is exactly this one.
Frame it as a problem of negative emotion regulation and management.

The second one in parallel as a physical problem as not getting good sleep, nutrient deficiencies, lack of exercise etc.

Both are interconnected.

I found this for NetBSD from 2011 https://2011.eurobsdcon.org/papers/sonnenberger/fossilizing....

TLDR imported cvs2fossil, then fossil to git and mercurial. fossil was less optimized at scale. No dvcs was perfect. At scale things don't always import easily

"The number of artificial commits and conversion glitches could be
minimized by cleaning up various issues. This was made easy by exploiting the
database and writing small Python scripts calling “rcs” and related programs.
Various tests show that the Fossil repository and CVS give exactly the same
output for individual revisions. Differences when comparing working copies of
specific branches are accounted for.

The performance of Fossil is competitive. Some areas like “fossil pull” need
further work, but the majority of the work can shift to improving the user
interface."

Can anyone name a significant, practical scientific breakthrough that was achieved on the ISS that could not have been done by some other means for a fraction of the cost?

For the most part, ISS was a self serving example of circular logic. It put people in space so we could study people in space and try to justify the outrageous expense of putting people in space. As if there was some immediate, practical need or demand for this information.

It was a large make work project to justify the expense of another large make work project --- the space shuttle. And just like the space shuttle, the only people who will really miss it are science fiction fans and NASA employees who will have to find more productive work.
Is this something thats a deficiency with S3, or is there not a more purpose built offering?

Many years ago I was using fossil for OpenBSD development to manage my patches.

Around that time I tried to import the entire OpenBSD src repository into fossil, by importing the CVS-to-git conversion of src, as published on Github. I was following the official git->fossil migration guide. I left this running for a week (or two?) at which point the fossil git loader was loading OpenBSD commits from somewhere around the 2000s. At that point I stopped the process. Performance might be better today, I don't know. And perhaps post-conversion run-time performance is much better, but I never got that far. Anyone can try to reproduce these results by running the same conversion today.

I don't think I ever talked about my attempts with fossil to anyone at the time. But I recall the topic coming up somewhere when the Game of Trees project became public, and someone suggested I should be using fossil instead.

I am now using Game of Trees for all my OpenBSD development work and I am happy with it.

All distributed networks are vulnerable to Sybil attacks (unless you can ensure provenance somehow, out-of-band), but unless you can break the hash function, all that gets you with BitTorrent is denial of service (and traffic interception, I suppose, but that should already be part of your threat model).
So ideally, we should disable hyper threading to mitigate security issues and now also disable turbo mode to mitigate memory corruption issues. Maybe we should also disable C states to avoid side-channel attacks and disable efficiency cores to avoid scheduler issues... and at some point we are back to a feature set from 20+ years ago. :P
The problem is it takes typically takes days or even weeks of unpaid work to find the next paid job. If you get 6 months contracts that unpaid time is easy to deal with (and much of the unpaid work is really half an hour here easy to put in after hours while in the middle of the longer contract). Thus a 1 day job needs to pay a lot more perhour than a 6 month contract as the costs to get that contract needs to be paid from than 1 day - a fair price for a 1 day job is likely in the $20,000 range.
Yep, this... :/

Wish I could say something, but I don't really, so I'll just send you a virtual hug.
Every phone has a camera. Basically require the forward facing camera to be on if using the phone above X mph. From there, we should have sufficient computer vision processing to identify if someone is driving, and refuse to allow any use until given to a passenger or pulled over.

Additionally we could require all phones to support the SafeDriving protocol, and there be dash mounted camera in all cars with appropriate computer vision to identify unsafe phone use while driving lock ALL phones within the car or slow car to the curb.
