Well, yeah, nothing works in general, which is why I prevaricated amongst several ideas -- but the key point is that if something has to be a default, floats work worst of all if accuracy or precision are your goals (but again, make sense for performance and performance alone -- but we really should be making accuracy the default and performance something you have to opt in to these days)

(Rational of bigints also has the advantage of being simple to understand, but I'd happily endorse pretty much anything but floats, even bigdecimals.)

A key advantage of hledger, and why I migrated from ledger, is that hledger internally orders transactions chronologically, whereas ledger inexplicably orders them in the order they appear int he file, irrespective of the date attached to them.

This [ledger's approach] totally breaks the ability to break different transaction types into different files and then import all files into a master file.
Not really, I don't do much in excel anymore, And I probably should not be giving advice as I have no classical training in accounting. But the ledger docs have a pretty great introduction to basic accounting theory. It is not too difficult to apply this theory into whatever data storage engine you are using.

I think the whole point is that an American who eats a lot of rice is not served by the answer “it’s not a problem, Americans don’t eat a lot of rice”.

Other rss readers were either much different (think cards design, or too much whitespace everywhere, or whatever), or they had premium plans they were telling you about all the time, or they had premium plans and a low limit of rss feeds you could add, or they had no mobile apps, or the mobile apps required premium, or whatever.

Nothing was like google reader: free, information-dense, and reliable. When google reader was killed, rss died for me.

That was also the case for blogs and youtube videos. RSS just brought you to the content and the content had ads.
Perhaps given the author's familial experiences with the tragedy of Alzheimers, it's a sort of therapy.

This first one is doubt. Realize that doing it is actually a fast way of casting out doubt--to yourself and to others when you show it. Answer by doing.

None of these other questions amount to anything. Maybe fueled by ego, social-media-self-consciousness, idk. Premature optimization is bad, and so is premature judgement of something you're still in the process of doing.

I get the feeling that people who have automatic thoughts in this theme are the same ones that will prolong a meeting hypothesizing and debating some technical aspect in a group for 10 minutes when one person could have actually gone to the system, entered some commands and found out in 5 minutes saving 10 min * (N-1) people's time. I can't stand discussing something that can be determined in fewer person-hours: assign and follow-up.

A different way I see this play out is when someone lists all the potential problems with a proposed solution, sometimes in great detail. I love it when this happens because I'll write it down as a roadmap/todo list. It's about having a 'growth mindset'--yes there will be obstacles, but I'll get past them because I (almost) always do.

Sure, but there should be a guiding principle. The point isn't we're powerless to act. It's that we should act thoughtfuly. Defaulting to carve-outs indicates the idea is inchoate.

Even in this thread, we've expanded from major social media platforms to e-mail providers and payment platforms. We're still brainstorming the general scope of the idea.

Why only go that far? You can have types for One, Two, Three … Inf and then define division of type Four by type Two as type Two and so on. This would eliminate the need to actually run your program since your type checker would be Turing complete and all code would run in Zero time.
I knew a guy who said on a previous project they had a system that raised the priority of old bugs on some interval. I guess the idea was to either get them fixed or agree that they never would.

There are morale and duplicate bug issues with keeping a backlog that grows faster than you can close them, so I guess that makes a bit of sense. And better than GitHub auto-shooting-the-messenger by clocking bugs after a month or two of inactivity.

Well the popular story goes that mp3 players were a thing but either had very little flash storage, or had a big bulky hard drive and terrible battery life. Then iPod came out with a newly developed tiny hard drive, plus a flash buffer so it would only have to spin up the hd every 20 minutes, plus a good control scheme plus a fast port for transferring files plus iTunes which was supposedly better than the competing software options. Though I can't personally verify all that, since I never had an early mp3 player

If I remember right, there are multiple types of leaders. One type is leader by necessity - basically you don't want to lead but do if you feel you're the best option.

I can say from experience that the scenario of these types of people becoming the dominant leadership style isn't possible as it's self-defeating.

I filled the role of a tech lead and had great feedback from it. We had a more senior dev join the following year. I told them they should ask for the official title and we could share the responsibilities that I had been performing on my own. 10 years later and im not even a senior dev... sucks for me I guess.

There are a couple imprecise or omitted details about the OS in the text.

> Qubes OS is designed to be a single-user desktop operating system

At the moment, it's true, but multi-user support is planned: https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/8958

> Note that the Qubes website and documentation tend to use the term "VM" and "qube" interchangeably

This is because in the future a "qube" will be able to run on independent hardware: https://www.qubes-os.org/news/2018/01/22/qubes-air. Then, VM and qube will not necessarily be the same thing.

> For example, installing software on a Fedora desktop is usually as simple as "dnf install package". But installing software to use within a Fedora-based qube requires several additional steps on Qubes OS, plus restarting VMs

If the software is from the main repo, you do the same "dnf install package" in a template. There are no other steps apart from restarting the App VM (which can also be avoided if necessary).

> Then again, it's also not encouraged—Bluetooth isn't considered secure, so why focus on making it easier to configure?

You can use Bluetooth securely on Qubes OS (but it does require some effort to set up): https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/7750#issuecom...

This is a classic example of "show me the incentive and I'll show you the outcome".

I could also see how this same incentive might apply to nonprofit groups as well. i.e. nonprofit groups might actually have an incentive to perpetuate the existence of problems they purport to attempt to solve, because the folks who work there would be out of a job and might lose their prestigious titles as authorities on whatever their chosen problem is.
I don't see how this is different from any other dynamically- and strongly- typed programming language with some kind of "contract" framework, like Clojure or Python.
If you're going to heap moral outrage on events 220 years ago, apply it to the whole situation, not just the part that makes you uncomfortable. Chattel slavery is utterly unconscionable and irredeemable, as is every society that participates in it.

There's a pretty major distinction: public and private methods are part of the language.

I'm ok with people trying new UI paradigms from time to time, I suppose.

In this case though, I was presented with 2 buttons with no clear way to progress at first (blank page, turns out you have to click on 'continue muted' before even a scrollbar appears, albeit almost unnoticeably thin), and the rest of the content was only available piecemeal.

If you unconventional-scroll through this piecemeal content to the very end (including an entire full screen autoplaying video, even if your screen is UHD), you actually find a little red button marked "skip to more data". And if you click on that you actually find a wealth of data. And no other path to reach it that I can see.

Unfortunately, I think it's inevitable. Both parties have talked themselves into a justification for regulating speech on the internet. One side wants to force platforms to publish speech against their will, the other wants to force platforms to police speech against their will. Both positions fall afoul of the spirit of the First Amendment, which is that only the people have the right to abridge freedom of speech (and explicitly not the federal government, except in certain narrowly-defined circumstances.) And the Supreme Court is stacked with ideologues who seem dedicated to defederalizing the government and ceding power to the states, whose restrictions on speech would be far more radical than the federal government would be capable of.
