:match is a new kind of macro, called a parameter list macro, that I invented. defmacro doesn't know anything about pattern matching. Parameter list macros are expanded in any function/lambda or macro parameter list situation. The :match macro assumes that the function's body consists of pattern matching clauses. It infers the parameters from it, which get substituted.
You’re not disagreeing with the parent. They admitted GTO does not maximally exploit suboptimal strategies in their comment.
Yes that’s a key sign of burn out.
In the US, merchants spent years actually being forbidden (by the networks' merchant agreements, and even by law in some states) from adding a surcharge onto credit card transactions.

That's mostly gone now (although I think there are still a couple states that forbid them, Visa and MC at least allow a credit card surcharge or cash discount in their merchant agreements), but it's so normalized at this point that customers are unlikely to care that CC and cash transactions are the same price. So, if you're a merchant, you set your pricing to include your merchant fees and just take the extra profit on cash transactions.

> The problem still remains that they have a number in mind about what I owe and I'm not allowed to know it until I file.

They can't. Too much of the tax code is subjective and based upon claimed circumstance. If they did know this, they wouldn't need auditors.

> If you are the one who prepared them you absorb the liability when the IRS comes after you.

The liability is typically just the difference between what you paid and what you owe. It's hard to believe most people are so bad at taxes their efforts would be mistaken for willful criminal fraud.
That'd easily avoided by first putting a sticker over the hole and only later injecting some epoxy through the sticker. Do it neatly and they could even remove the sticker once the epoxy has hardened and paint over the former hole in a similar colour as the machine.

Just wanted to echo I love your product but the pricing is too prohibitive. My use-case is wanting to offer a dashboard to my own clients. But the business pricing was $50/mo per user and also gave each user editor privileges.

I want to create customer accounts, apply settings (e.g. I delimit the data their account can access, basically adding WHERE clauses on a per-account basis), and they can access white-label read-only dashboards with their own user/pass.

Retool seemed 100% insistent on being an internal-only tool with a high cost per user.

YouTube does not feel snappy to me anymore, its still one of the better experiences I have on the internet, but quite bad from years before.

I just tested my connection to youtube right now, just a tiny bit over 1.2 seconds from not using it for a few days. A fresh, no cache, no cookies, the entire page loaded in 2.8 seconds. A hot reload on either side varied between 0.8s to 1.4 seconds. All done with at most ublock as an extension on desktop chrome with purported gigabit speeds from my ISP.

That speed is just OK, but definitely not the 54ms response time I got to hit google's server to send me the HTML document that bears all the dynamic content on youtube

Because people generally do manage their own TLS keys. Everybody who has ever set up Certbot and LetsEncrypt has done so. You've misconstrued my argument about this, which says only that people who have domains autosigned by their registrars aren't a meaningful contributor to DNSSEC deployment, not that the huge share of DNSSEC deployment that those people represent is a sign that all DNSSEC key management is performative security theater. My argument is simpler and more limited than you've taken it for.

Now, to my question? Again: it seems like a very broad, very easily falsified argument. Who, other than DNSSEC providers themselves, would need to be paged if the DNSSEC root keys ended up on Pastebin? Be specific, if you can? Seems like this should be easy to answer!

I don’t understand this claim in the slightest. It seems trivially falsified by the data that follows.
The element of moderation that you consider essential -- the latitude to apply subjective judgments that rely on knowing the specific identities of the participants -- is precisely the element that I do not trust moderators to perform.

That this moderation strategy would prevent the use of all slurs (even reappropriated ones) sounds like a feature to me, not a bug.
I've been wondering this too. I've even been considering authoring a web standard to allow hosts to specify how their pages can be archived in a standard way (e.g. which scripts to include, etc.) and then pitch the IA to offer a "pay $X to archive this data forever" deal to the universe.

I'm really curious what the cost per byte would be to make it worthwhile to offer a "host this byte forever, for one up-front fee" service.
>55% of Software Engineers are white; 80% are male.[1] So somewhere around 44% of software engineers are white and male. That's not "most".

Actually, white women are less likely than women of other races to pursue engineering. So there could be closer to 50% white men. Obviously this is in the US. In China, 99.9% of software engineers would be Han Chinese lol. Would it be wrong to show them a group of Chinese engineers? How about showing them 100% non-Chinese when they explicitly ask for Chinese? That's how messed up Gemini is.

Anyway, this is all a stupid argument. Talking about numbers like that in a field as diverse as software engineering is a bad idea, because it has no bearing on the problem. Let the AI generate what it wants to by default, and let people fine-tune to get other ethnicities in there if they want to. If I ask for 5 people with one white, one asian, one black, one Mexican, and one albino, the AI should be able to do that. Focus on correctness and leave judgement to the people consuming the output. I think proportions are only a problem with Gemini because it produces 0% images of white people, even in contexts that demand at least some white presence to not be absurd.

I expect Gemini to still be biased against white people after it's fixed. It will just be more subtle.

I don't think we currently know of any practical way to _arbitrarily_ change the wavelength and frequency of electromagnetic waves (within the same medium), and even if there was, it would likely take so much energy that it would never be efficient to spend the energy this way.

Somehow submerging the plants within a different medium to change the entire spectrum would also likely not achieve any gains either, because by doing that you can only reduce the total amount of energy in any part of the spectrum, not shift it elsewhere (afaik).

edit: added 'arbitrarily' - as replies point out, moving towards the lower-energy end of the spectrum is not hard.
> I can’t wait to see private space scale to its potential — which is ginormous.

Misconceptions like this are precisely why I find it important to call out where the funds are coming from here... because the potential really isn't enormous.

There's a lot of commercial interest in putting satellites in orbit, yes. But there's no commercial interest in private moon landers. And I'm not saying that's a bad thing; I'm happy to see NASA find ways make their scientific endeavors more efficient. But moonshots (heh) like this are never going to be motivated by economics. There's just nothing on the moon to sell.

Some banks used to "helpfully" give you a spot loan when you ran below zero balance. Some banks still charge you overdraft fees. Most banks charge you absurd fees for basic debit features.

By the way, the original author of CLISP (a free Common Lisp implementation) liked mixed variables and statements so much that the C sources use a .d rather than .c suffix and are preprocessed to .c files through a text processing script called "varbrace" which turns mixed declarations and statements into C90.

That was long before C99; the project started around the middle 1980s, I think.

CLISP might benefit from being updated to C99, with all the files renamed to .c, and varbrace eliminated, but I don't think anyone's gotten around to it.
This sounds like one of those horrible tools like prisma which drop everything if something is not in sync on dev. We removed this type of stupid in favour of our own which, you know, fixes this actually instead of lazily dropping everything when they cannot resolve some trivial thing, for instance, a new required field without default when there are already rows and other crap which they call ‘opinionated’. No idea why we ever used that stuff as it caused so much grief (never on prod though); after prisma/drizzle and some other ‘modern’ horrors, we mistrust everything that’s ’hip and new’ so ‘everyone uses it’. One of those hip and new things I mistrusted was Resend even though ‘suddenly everyone uses it’. I’ll wait a few years before even contemplating it.

Nio offers battery swapping, so the idea is that you do your daily commute with a small 40-80kWh battery and only swap to a gigantic 150kWh battery if you do a road trip.

For other cars this kind of battery size makes not much sense, which is why the vast majority of electric cars sold in the world have a battery sizes between 40 and 80 kWh [1].

I’ll bite. The capability in the US to do large castings and forgings is basically gone. Good luck getting anything with a lead time of less than a couple years. In some cases, it simply can’t be done. That’s why we’re seeing so much investment into large scale additive manufacturing.

It’s interesting how this has become such a problem again. Post WW2, the US dismantled massive, basically building size hydraulic presses in former Nazi Germany and shipped them back to the US because that was a capability we didn’t have.

I like that Prisma drops the database. Developer databases should be idempotent and easily reseedable with sample data. It's the same concept as cattle, not pets, from the devops world but now applied to databases. There should be nothing special about a database in development that cannot be dropped and recreated.
Well, it's not crazy extremist to say that there is a woke cult out there that hates white people, and wants to systematically suppress them. The same people ironically claim to be oppressed by white people as every major corporation and liberal politician lines up to do their bidding.

That single sentence contains multitudes:

* Production should be immutable

* No one doing dev in a dev environment should have such trivial access to prod

Yikes.

This is an interesting comment because we readily anthropomorphise every entity and fail to see Google as an umbrella for a group of people that may make decisions in terms of a democratic or autocratic means depending on context.

In this instance "The Google" has expressed "an agenda".

I disagree that individuals might have been trying to wrong society but unfortunately it's the measurable results and direction of the company as a whole that exhibits the agenda and in this instance it's quite a blow to the ability for society to record a factual account of history so it can learn from its mistakes.
