Dave's is about as non-sushi of a name as I can imagine for a sushi restaurant, I agree. Having eaten there many times (much to my chagrin), it's a pretty down-to-earth, not very fancy, not particularly high quality restaurant. But it has been the for 20+ years.

There are newer sushi places in town that are much fancier, and have fancy trendy names to match, such as "Seven".

As mentioned in other comments, all sushi fish in the US must be frozen for 7 days to kill parasites, so there's no such thing as "fresh" sushi here. That said, you can get day-of fresh fish in Bozeman - it's flown in a few times a week from Seattle, and is quite pricey. A friend of mine has built a business delivering it to restaurants in the morning.
Forcing a buyback of defective equipment does not preclude the purchase of a new, non-defective unit. Without the lemon law, the buyer would toss the old unit out without compensation and buy a new one. This way, the buyer will get money back from the defective unit and be able to get a new unit with it.

The moment you have any database or filesystem or remote-service, the hybridization starts anyway.

Sure, technically a single computer's local RAM is being managed with strict guidelines, but that correlates less and less to overall application state and behavior these days.

I would like to see a reevaluation of this take with respect to Rust. When we're talking about Rust's safety features, we usually focus on memory safety, because that has the biggest impact on security. But there are lots of memory safe languages, and I think it's actually Rust's thread safety features that are the most unique. (Lots of shared type system machinery between both sets of features.)
Feels a bit pointless to explain basics but I'll bite for the others - I dont know which country is like that, definitely not Switzerland, not Germany, France, Czech republic nor Slovakia (listing personal multiyear experiences).

Neither of them has any (significant) rent control, definitely abolute 0 for young and able, and people have rental agreements which run easily decade(s).

Ie in France its the opposite - owners are properly scared of long term rentals, since rentees can trivially just stop paying and it will take you 6+ month of courts to have an attempt on evicion. They can trash the place and no real recourse. Not empty threat neither, everybody knows such a case personally. Thus everybody -> airbnbs. Blame the system if you grok the situation, french one is one of the worst in the west.
You mentioned contacting the security teams, was that/did you try HackerOne? I don't think they would allow you to try to deliberately do it from the outset (the preferred reproduction would surely be 1. Create package A; 2. Create package B via another owner; 3. Demonstrate that B rendered A un-unpublishable^) but you might have had more luck explaining that you stumbled into it and need help unwinding it there.

Funny idea, dumb policy, nice write-up!

^In the article you write 'immutable', but I think you mean that it can't be unpublished/de-listed? I suppose definitions vary you could call that immutable, but to me the versions are always immutable so that implies no new version could be published which I don't think was the case?
Its not popular because it is about as effective as a sugar pill, and cant be trademarked.
Looks great and thanks for sharing!

You mentioned that you went to some length to implement pivots. How far do you think you will take the pivot feature and UI?

For financial type usecases it's pretty much a requirement to be able to map many fields on X/Y, be able to collapse them in the the browser, and also show/control aggregations.

Asking because many apps stop at the simplest level of pivot features and go to great lengths in other areas like more advanced visualization.
For mapping many fields though, I think a good pivot table UI is like a secret weapon.

I get that this isn't what you would focus on so much in week 1.

Nice work + love the local-first and direct UI.
Please do. You just know someone not "in the know" will get shown this and come to the wrong decision without that disclaimer.

It is great to know that LLVM Flang supports BFLOAT16!

I look forward to trying it in my project ( http://www.libprima.net ), although LLVM Flang is not ready to use last time I tried.

As a side note, the Classic Flang ( https://github.com/flang-compiler/flang ) does not support kind = 3.
Also depends what the larger policy is around that one designed-to-fail part. Is it a toolless swap, with the store manager having a baggy of them in a cabinet somewhere?

Or is even the sacrificial component only able to be swapped out by a special technician who must be specially summoned with some amount of cost and lead-time?

Another favorite:

After repeated questions on why Palestinians are starving, CIA Director Bill Burns says Palestinians are starving because "humanitarian assistance can’t get to them."

In every response from the Director, the agentive force preventing that assistance (i.e., Israel) remained unnamed.

Keeping the focus on the need for assistance to be delivered, while avoiding at all costs calling out the reason for repeated attempts at assistance not being successfully delivered.
> And in fact, it's antisocial to demand that other devs (junior or otherwise) adapt to your own personal idiosyncrasies.

Most people see it as the exact opposite of this: it's you who are trying to impose your own personal idiosyncrasies on the project if you don't just adopt the project's style (which is hopefully automated so all you need to do is press a shortcut once you're done, or run a command before comitting) and insist on doing your own thing.

I'm curious if anyone has any idea - how much money is actually unaccounted for? Michael Lewis's book makes it seem like the money existed, but was all over the place, and that by the time all was said and done, they were basically in the black. But that was assuming investments didn't ever grow - they still had to have lost money somehow.
You really think he will do the whole sentance? I will be shocked if he sees more than 5.
The other curse is to progress to IC7-9 (non manager) at MAANG making 500k-900k and unable to be hired anywhere else. The only place to go is to stay at a megacorp. Thankfully, some of these megacorps violate this article's "curse" rule and allow IC <-> M transitions somewhat freely.

It behooves IC7-9 to instead work on side hustles that can turn into profitable businesses, leveraging their employment pedigree and potential early adopters in industry, because working for a corporation is risky and plateaus.
Then maybe they should hire fewer 16 year olds.
I have Google Authenticator as my 2FA for my mobile carrier.

That's security theater if the fallback is still SMS or if a customer support call does not require a link to log in. I have not had a good enough reason to test this and risk the huge inconvenience if it all goes wrong.
Every time my hardware token thingy needs replacing, my bank tries to push me into using sms instead. I politely ask if they would like me to close my accounts and they somehow produce a new token.

Only tangentially related, but I think the mid/late game is a much more interesting/useful/hard avenue for chess tools.

Chess.com's opening explorer is pretty good, which it seems like this is kind of trying to compete against.

What I struggle with is the post game review, where I make a dubious move but I don't actually understand the reason why it's bad. Sure, the engine shows better moves and the refutation to my move, but I often don't know why. The automatically generated explanation is usually pretty poor.

I wish I had even a poor copy of Danya giving me commentary.

Perhaps I should just lean in and try to implement something like this, but focus it more on coaching than commentary.

The main reason why Leipzig won't become the "next Berlin" is rents are increasing there, as fast as in Berlin. It is still cheaper, but not "let's try and find out" cheap.

I think, for a moment around 15 years ago, Leipzig was dirt cheap and had quite a bit of momentum, because you didn't need a business plan to try and make things happen. People, students from west Germany, payed 100€ for rent and 30€ for an atelier. Lots of raw excitement and empty buildings.

But the momentum died maybe 8 years ago. What's left is nothing like Berlin. Cheaper, but still expensive; liberal-ish, but all kartoffel. Leipzig doesn't feel exciting, but small now. And it's deep in enemy territory, very depressing region, the mere thought doesn't spark joy at all.
You are talking about niche positions. They aren't paying their front-end or developers 200k+.

I do know a number of bank developers making 300k+. They work on the boring, unsexy backend stuff that makes the bank run. Each of them provides the equivalent value of about 100 front-end developers.
In theory, this could encourage people with larger houses than they need (eg empty nesters) to downsize, which could have an observable impact on shortages.

Obviously more supply is an important part of this too though.
McDonald's corporate doesn't give a shit about the health of their franchises, they're getting kickbacks every time they renew their contract with Taylor. Taylor makes non-garbage ice cream machines that work just fine at, e.g. Wendy's.

McDonald's just has the brand-recognition and clout to get away with a shitty corrupt practice for the moment, so that's what they're doing. For money.

Of course, there have been many bad things in the past. Floppy disks, cassettes and VHS were horrible technologies.

Did you use tube radios? They broke all the time.

The difference is that they weren't intentionally horrible, they were limitations of an era.

But at some point, devices start to last a long time. My parents' first refrigerator ran without problems for over 10 years.
I've had far fewer problems with CDS and CD players than with cassette players.

And we used to have a lot of low quality items, but now it's much harder to find good quality items. And brand means almost nothing. Even Apple has been selling notebooks with horrible keyboards for years. I'm just using an Apple Notebook now, I've been waiting for years for them to change the keyboard.... The Nitendo Switch Joystick has a drift problem and Nintendo ignores it...

> It sucks to spend code review making humans spend time

For some humans, they don't have to be "made" to do it. They love squabbling over style issues and rearranging deck chairs. I will never, ever understand caring about style issues, so auto-formatters are a gift from the heavens. Now the guy that used to waste time in code review can waste time tweaking the formatter rules, and everyone else can move on with their life.

My understanding is that Tresor was destroyed and any current one with the same name isn't 'the' Tresor club. Berghain seems like it's the real successor there, and Berghain is not tourist accessible, it's about as easy to get in as Studio 54 in its heyday.

It's not about just line length, you would have to fit in and seem non-tourist to get into Berghain, and then you'd need to actually enjoy a dark, brutal, kink and techno club full of intentional degeneracy. I would absolutely go, for the music, but wouldn't be as much into the kink side, which I think is escalated somewhat from what Tresor was?

There's a good documentary on the history of Tresor: "Sub Berlin - The Story Of Tresor" which appears to even have a re-cut version on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiuJhq-z2LE
I agree it's a threat that is not exactly easy to pull off. But my main issue with is is represents an attack vector that you can do exactly nothing to defend against yourself. If you use other forms of MFA, you are at least in charge. Sure you can lose your TOTP seed or something, but you have agency in how it is stored. SMS forces you to rely on companies that have log histories of failing to protect your phone number.

OpenCL is fine on Nvidia Hardware. Of course it's a second class citizen next to CUDA, but then again everything is a second class citizen on AMD hardware.
Those are three independent questions. But I can answer them:

> How was this not "equitable"?

We could back up and debate why/whether we tax, and who should pay and how much, and based on what, but that's too much for an HN comment thread. Currently, there's a broad consensus that it's equitable to tax a percentage of income. Now, Roth IRAs are an exception to that rule, for the stated purpose of encouraging people to save for their retirement -- and thus reduce the societal problem of a large number of destitute seniors. Here we have a cases where Roth IRAs are protecting very large amounts of income from taxation, yet not for the intended beneficial purpose. So we may want to update the rules for Roth IRAs so they can continue to serve their intended purpose without shielding more income than is necessary from taxation.

> Was Thiel playing by a different set of rules?

Not that I know of.

> Or are you simply upset that he didn't pay taxes on income that you thought should have been taxed?

No, I'm not upset. Tax policy is pretty dry, so I don't feel a lot of emotion one way or the other. And as far as I know this is legal, so, no, obviously he should not pay taxes he's not required to pay. It seems almost silly to have to state that. But if the question is do I think the tax code should be updated to require that taxes be paid on income at that level through a Roth IRA then the answer is yes. (IMO A rule change like that should not apply retroactively to income already accrued though.) Not sure the best way to do it -- the starting point would be to simply cap the amount of income that is tax free, say $5M, after which it's taxed as normal income. There's probably some reason that's too simple, but at least it gives you an idea of the kind of change that could be enacted.

I used it as an example of polling, as I thought it was merely an interesting poll result, but I never said I had any given opinion of the source. I looked up the Certus Insights poll you've mentioned, which also had interesting results. The results were that 37% believed it was likely suicide and 35% believed it was likely murder. That is a 51.3% vs 48.6% split for those who did not respond that they were unsure. These two figures are quite close. To add to that, the Certus poll found that over 30% each of Democrats, Independents and Republicans believed it to be murder. That is not a tiny fringe as you claimed it to be.

As an aside, I don't believe that most of the 1/3 of each party's members that were polled think that there is some sort of "dark cabal". That is just you baselessly projecting, just as was your unnecessary projection of opinion of using an Insider poll.

You asked if there were any cases of someone getting hassled for modding their own gear (and outside of phones, there are plenty of examples of that happening).

If we're going back to phones, then it would have been illegal to jailbreak for a few months in 2014 after their anti-circumvention exemption expired and before the aforementioned Unlocking Consumer Choice act took effect.

Though jailbreaking is still just one aspect of how DMCA is being used to restrict what you can do with the hardware you've purchased.
