No, TOTP is a cryptographic protocol for generating One Time Passcodes (OTP) based on a seed. Frequently this seed is displayed to the user as a QR code, but it is just a random string. The user will then somehow save this seed (usually by scanning the QR code with their TOTP app). When a password is required you just use the seed and the current time to generate a code. No accounts are required, just the current time and the seed.

You may be confusing TOTP with proprietary app-based 2FA solutions which just send the token in a push notification or similar.
That's fine, maybe you don't care about being able to differentiate between the stuff you listen to, a lot of us do.
TS really stands out as amazing. It’s realized a lot of the promise of strong typing.
I must admit I have not really studied the differences. Not sure whether I could get the old login page back to do so. Probably not permanently, so not worth my time.

The new page just felt much heavier and slower, so I looked what I need to do to the stupid next button. For my UI I want: If it's not broken, don't touch it. Marketing and graphical designers go elsewhere. And there was nothing broken for me with the old UI. (Those with screen readers might have more substantial insights in one direction or the opposite, I don't know)
It may use the same name, but reading https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/innodb-index-types.h... this doesn't really look like the same thing and wouldn't help here. InnoDB's clustered index (usually on the primary key) is used for fast row lookups by that primary key. It only has an advantage if the primary key is the order you want, but otherwise would have the exact same problem postgres's query planner was protecting me against, but without any way to fix the problem.
I think Huffman would be good, but I don't think it would be optimal (as in, the smallest possible amount of bits)
I do find ChatGPT-4 does a semi-reasonable job of guessing why I might be asking something basic and trying to anticipate major "head-desk" errors. We've come a long way from Codex.

It's still not good, but it saves me a lot of time typing boilerplate for simple but long functions. It saves me TONS of time debugging Java errors. Anything complex I have to do by hand, and it's bad at application-wide refactoring of class/method hierarchies, and it's bad at general architecture. But it's 80% great for "wtf caused this compiler/runtime error" and spewing out boilerplate that I still have to double-check but I can double-check it super fast and almost always ask ChatGPT to fix things that I notice.
The rent thing doesn’t exactly make sense to me because there are sometimes large underground scenes in expensive cities too. I have no idea how they coordinate warehouse parties in these places where the warehouse even for warehouse use would have a lot of value, but they do.

Taylor doesn't think there's anything wrong with their machine, the maintenance is just onerous. The result of applying any Lemon Law here would be that Taylor buys the machine back. Leaving the franchisee without an ice cream machine, and potentially out of a franchise. Given that an ice cream machine costs thousands, and MCD franchises cost millions, it is a no brainer to just deal with the machine.

It looks like they made approximately 1.4 billion, with a gross bookings of around 37.5 billion. That would _seem_ to mean that drivers would get an increase of approximately 3% of the full booking price if Uber was a nonprofit?

Best I could find is that there are about 5.4 million drivers worldwide. So if Uber's profit was distributed evenly, each would get about $264/quarter? Without knowing hours driven, I'm not sure what all that boils down to. I suspect it doesn't factor in idle time, without rides.

Can you talk a little bit about how you came up with "easily afford to pay their workers minimum wage"?
We know that Uber and Lyft are very much taking advantage of the drivers here.

But there is a big question that I have yet to see answered by any of these laws, but it is possible that all of the articles I have read just conveniently gloss over this part.

My understanding is that to start driving for both of these companies it is a fairly low bar. There isn't any interviewing and basically anyone could do it if you have car (basically, I mean I am sure there are other checks but yeah).

You also don't work set hours, you work when you choose. You may choose to work when there is a lot of demand, but that is still up to you.

So how do these laws cover if there are too many drivers out at a certain time if there isn't demand for them? Is this only paying them for driving people?

Not trying to defend how they pay people, but it always seemed a bit more difficult than just pay them a certain wage or benefits.
> If I have some developers using an ARM based macbook, and some devs on an x86_64 based machine, is it easy to support both without much maintenance?

Yes.

I maintain a small collection of Nix packages at my job (some of which come straight from upstream, some of which I've written in-house and are out-of-tree) for use in development and CI environments. We currently support both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs as well as x86_64 Linux environments.

There are a couple of small OS-specific tweaks in one or two packages (which we inherit from those packages, which ship OS-specific scripts). There is no architecture-specific code in the repo; I literally never have to think about it.

Target platforms are all tested in CI. Deployment targets (users, CI runners) on all supported platforms get the exact same versions of everything, in binary form appropriate to their architecture.
If Taylor just buys everything back, they no longer have a business, no? Wouldn't that be a good incentive structure for change?
Maybe the problem is that actual reality is very three dimensional, and incredibly detailed and immersive.

> the Belleville Three [0] were from a more affluent part of Detroit at the time

Nobody in Detroit has ever called Belleville affluent (or 'more affluent' or whatever), and I go back to those days. I will politely omit the lol because you (obviously) aren't from around here.

Techno was indeed the music from middle-class African-Americans. It's too bad the world demanded that young Black male artists must act like the white world expected - like gangsters - to sell hip-hop records.
Sure, if there were not price controls, the shelves would have been full of toilet paper.....but a large segment of the population wouldn't have been able to afford to buy it.

I don't know if you've ever been so poor that you couldn't buy toilet paper. But I sure have, and let me tell you, sneaking napkins from starbucks, and getting ink all over your hands from using newspapers goes from being inconvenient to being massively depressing real quick.

Yeah, to be clear – I obviously want people to be compensated well for their work, but the path to that isn't as easy as passing a law. And I wish that wasn't the case, but it is, and ultimately this is the consequence of pretending otherwise.
As do I, although I prefer them cooked. The article claims that even if they're not toxics, the chitin renders the nutrients unavailable to digestion. (Which is plausible, but I'd like to see actual citations for it.)

On the poisonous front, my grandfather used to pick and eat Gyromitra Esculenta. His preparation method apparently rendered them safe, but he had no idea they were deadly when not properly prepared. (It's been a long time, but I recall that he'd soak his mushrooms in salted water to "get the bugs out" and would typically cook them in gravy.)

Yep. RISC was interesting when gate budgets for CPU pipelines were seriously limited. It was interesting because before RISC the industry had been merrily spending the gate budget increase on adding lots of use-specific instructions. The RISC people pointed out that if you removed support for all the fancy instructions you had enough gate budget for the ALU to be nicely pipelined, and then you could wind up the clock rate greatly and this was worth much more than the fancy instructions.

For decades now we've had enough gate budget to have nicely pipelined designs with complex instruction sets, so that's what everyone does. RISC solves a problem that no longer exists.

Again, this is a tool you can use. You can complain that it doesn't work in the way you expect, or you can learn how it operates and how best to use it. If you can't figure out how to apply it to your work, that's fine, but loads of other people are doing exactly that with or without you.

> "Lol, meta-microaggressions that'll fix microaggressions."

I have no clue what this means. Do you?

> "yes, you will win..."

What? This isn't "me", winning. This is the age-old reality of "you are owed absolutely nothing", and that "if you are owed something, you will know because people will be paying you for it". This is capitalism at its core.

When it comes specifically to helping others:

1) you are either paid for it by an employer, in which case you ought to do it based on the employer's requirements, and all extraneous complaints are null and void unless

2) you create your own business off of your expertise, where you get to choose what precisely you offer people, and people get to choose whether they value your expertise; or

3) you do it for free, because you get something out of the experience which is entirely unrelated to how others treat you. If you're doing it for free to establish yourself through "loss-leader" tactics, but you cannot turn your losses into said leadership, then you can't complain. The world considers you to be an overvalued commodity. End of story.

Welcome to reality! You can rage if you'd like. The world will not care. There's business to do, money to be made, and entertainment to be had in the form of people who think they are worth more than what the market prices them. Either they are right and they eventually get movies made out of their life stories ("rags to riches!"), or they are wrong and they serve as living comedy (which can also be converted into money).

This is hardcore Reaganomics I am suggesting, not "youth-communism" (lol, wtf? where does that even come from...). Either you are rich enough to earn respect, or you are sensible enough to know you're not worth any. Which one is it?

If you believe you can be rich enough to be shown respect, then why are you wasting your time commenting on HN, instead of turning the apparent coming-doom into a business opportunity? The wealth you earn this way can then be convert into concrete respect if you so choose?
Uber and Lyft are playing a deeper game: to stop other locales doing the same thing. They want to scare governments from acting on behalf of their "independent contractors".

You see exactly the same thing with efforts to unionize at Starbucks and Amazon. Both companies will spend millions on union-busting efforts. They will close locations (eg[1]). If you have an idealistic view you may think this is a simple economic decision for the affected locations. It is not. It's to scare people in other places from unionizing out of fear of losing their jobs.

Uber and Lyft absolutely do not want their "independent contractors" being treated as employees or having governments give them basic work conditions and minimum wages. So they will try and use Minneapolis as an example to other cities.

Honestly, if I was going to off myself and I was in a semi-newsworthy situation I'd tell everyone I knew if I die it's not suicide... just to mess with everyone.
On the electronics front I'd beg to differ. Apple has raised the quality bar on electronics by a mile in the last couple of decades. The gadgetry I remember from the eighties and nineties was very cheaply made with plastics that warped or cracked (or both) and cheap switches made of molded plastic and a ballpen spring. Casette player gears were mostly made of that white plastic that always wore down with not much usage. I went through many "high end" walkmans that did not last more than a couple of years each.

It's all too easy to see the past through rose tinted glasses. Also remember that the "built to last" stuff from the past is often an example of survivorship bias.

> What is this obvious solution? You, an application developer, need to launch a new service. I give you a service account that lets you do almost everything inside of that account along with a viewer account for your user that lets you go into the web console and see everything.

This is exactly what AWS Organisations do, available for many years already. This now comes with IAM Identity Center that gives you SSO into multiple AWS accounts. So the setup I use is one management account running IAM Identity Server with users and groups. Then each product gets one or few AWS accounts that they own. Super simple and effective for small organizations. For larger orgs you would need to also use SCP and maybe AWS Control Tower or similar.

Technically, you can dispute incorrect info. What that dispute amounts to is the bureau asking the entity if it's accurate. No proof needed. If they say it's accurate, then you're stuck with it, until you jump through many, many more hoops.
Technically indirectly by supporting the companies, sure. But there is a disconnect between the drivers and users. What you may think they are being paid and actually paid.

The Epstein deduction. If something is monitorer 24/7 but not the exact time a “suicide” happens, you can be confident a suicide did in fact not happen.
Not sure if the problem is "being senior", of the kind of companies one works for. If you work at FAANG as senior dev and apply elsewhere similar as senior dev and they are actively hiring, I expect things would go fine. If you worked at FAANG and apply to a way smaller company, then indeed you may look overqualified.

My feeling after 12y in industry and 2.5y at FAANG-like company is that senior engs are valued, and staying senior without getting promoted is considered normal/fine (compared to e.g. not getting promoted from mid to senior). Heck, the pyramid shape of org makes it natural that it's impossible for half the org to become staff eng/managers and have cross-team impact; there can be only so many cross-team collab opportunities and large projects; meanwhile someone has to do the work of shipping things on time and keeping lights green.
> If Taylor just buys everything back, they no longer have a business, no?

No. They have a monopoly.

If they’re forced to buy them back, they’ll incorporate that cost into the next round that the franchises are required to purchase.

There were 1,240 Soviet nuclear warheads stationed on Ukrainian territory when it gained independence in 1991 [1]. At the very least, these weapons could have been salvaged for their fissile materials (highly enriched uranium and weapons grade plutonium).

Obtaining such fissile materials is about 90% of the effort of building nuclear weapons, and preventing the acquisition of them is about 90% of anti-proliferation efforts. I think that Ukraine could have easily deployed a nuclear deterrent in the 2010s if they had warehoused all those Soviet warheads in the 1990s.
