Maybe they needed a German company to receive money from the BND for their user data without the US knowing :-D

I'm working on a side project where I give founders a tool to create an online business & financial plan and manually track their first cashflow (revenue and expenses).
My goal is to give startups the necessary and basic tools to launch at a very friendly price.
What do you think will be useful to add to this platform? Keep things as simple as it can. Founders have their heads everywhere, so I don't want to clutter the application with too many bells'n whistles.
They do also have a feedback forum that Vlad is very active on: https://kagifeedback.org
I stopped reading once I realized it was just a rant about their business. Why would I care? Their search is better, it's worth what I pay, if it stops being worth the money I'll stop paying. I could care less how their business is run. If I was investing I might look closer, until then, the maximum I have at risk is the $100 or so it costs a year, which I'm comfortable with. Did I miss something more damning later in the article?
Might be the slight fever talking, but wouldn't the debit and credit be exactly the other way around? When you get paid by your employer, in your books the money enters your bank account ("debit") and is coming from an (abstract) employment income account ("credit").

When you pay your power company, the money leaves your bank account ("credit") and enters the (abstract) power company expenses, utilities expenses, or whatever account ("debit").

I don’t think I have ever read something as wholesome as this in the opinion section of the NY Times. I’m guessing that is it heavily aspirational rather than based on data but it paints a very sweet portrait.
I expected it to be bad, but wow.
By and large, elite US universities are not interested in using testing to pick and choose among the most academically qualified applicants. Instead, they use testing primarily as a cutoff mechanism to distinguish applicants who can probably do the work and applicants that probably can't.

You may not agree, but the system seems to work pretty well.
It was more interesting and less gross than a real rabbit so I'm not disappointed.
In the long term, we are all dead anyway. In the short term, nuclear power could solve all these problems if people weren't idiots.
You can make that argument for initial approach, but it falls flat on its face after the author told Vlad that they didn't want to communicate with them and Vlad responded with a lecture.

Vlad comes off as fairly unhinged here.
The official(ish) tool for restoring the firmware is, best I can tell, something a single employee put together in their spare time and tossed over the wall. The zip includes unrelated files and required DLLs aren't packaged.

Is this really efficient or practical? My understanding is that the latency required to copy memory from CPU or RAM to GPU negates any performance benefits (much less running over a network!)
The charm of towers of Hanoi is that you can make a physical version where the legality of moves is easily verified because of the differently sized blocks.

I think the “you cannot have towers with the same amount of blocks” rule will make this a lot less charming, certainly if any of the numbers are larger than, say, 10.

There also is the issue of adding pegs, but that’s solvable by fixing the number of stacks (the triangular number for n is about ½n², so it certainly need not be larger than twice the square root of the number of blocks).

You can even make it smaller to get a variation on this game where the length of the list is limited.
Investing in better search is absolutely vital, and AI may be the right tool there, but I don't care about the AI. I pay Kagi to be a better search and informational retrieval tool, not to do AI.

Instagram Subscription 119kr
Hi, I’ve been trying to reduce my usage in Instagram for some weeks. I’ve logged on the browser before to check things like messages every once in a while. Today I got presented with a choice, subscribe for 119 Swedish crowns a month, or let us use your info for ads.
This was not a content creator subscription, but the reason given was “due to laws in your region”
Is this a EU thing or worldwide ?
119kr is not something I’m willing to pay, I just don’t get enough value lately off it. Wondering what is the US and rest of the world experiencing
Your comparisons don't help, they are just verbose ways for you to (re-)state that you think publishing a key on keys.openpgp.org obviously means "you can email me encrypted" and that others may be a bit stupid to think otherwise (a bit like your "You can't yell at people for thinking "publish" meant publish" sentence, honestly, cut the bullshit)

I don't believe this to be the case. It's fine that we don't agree on this. Do you have sources? Because that would settle the discussion for good. Happy to be wrong. I'm not an expert on this stuff anyway.

Now, I also believe that it's not a big deal, if you unexpectedly receive an encrypted mail you can still decrypt it using your private key and if you don't know how to do this, you can always send your recipient "Hey, sorry, you sent me an encrypted mail that I can't decrypt, can you send me one without encryption?".

Unless, of course, your recipient's provider doesn't let them do this.

Maybe Proton doing this will push the ecosystem toward a more seamless support for encrypted mail, so it might even be a good thing. I don't know.

I don't know about this particular scenario, but typically fuses are small wires or resistors that are overloaded so they irreversibly break the connection. Hence the name.

Either done during manufacture or as a one-time programming[1][2].

Though sometimes reprogrammable configuration bits are sometimes also called fuse bits. The Atmega328P of Arduino fame uses flash[3] for its "fuses".

Similar experience in EE, the first year requirements were full of "filter" or "weed-out" courses in math and physics.

The generous argument is that it's only fair to the student that they should know quickly whether they'll be able to get through the material. Failing fast can be merciful.

The truth is probably more complicated. Let's just say that the student population ended up looking a lot like the TA and professor population. Lather, rinse, repeat.
This is disheartening to hear... Especially wrt. AI I was hoping for them to use it to classify the web and not aiming for yet another GPT frontend. Or in general developing tools that are a match for the state of the information space that exists today.

He’s probably most well known in the golang community for fasthttp which is a widely used and highly optimized golang replacement for the golang stdlib. I’m a long term golang developer and I think calling him a golang optimization “expert” is fair.

Yes, and as another poster pointed out my thinking that the importance of those minerals might be incorrect. I always thought you needed to supplement on top of distilled water.

About step 2: You still need to drop items, that's required for Vec<T> to be sound. By not calling `Vec::clear` and instead using

pub struct RepeatedField<T> {
vec: Vec<T>,
len: usize,
}

with indexing patterns like `self.vec[..self.len]` and setting `self.len = 0` to clear you avoid the cost of dropping all items at once(like Vec::clear does). However you still have to drop items, so with this solution the cost is amortised in `RepeatedField::push` and other methods that do `self.vec[i] = new_item`.

> It's designed to avoid the drop overhead

Isn't true. You don't avoid the the overhead, at most you delay/amortise it.
However miserable government bureaucracy often is - Wall Street and its "short-term profits are the ONE and ONLY GOD" mindset have already proven themselves a complete disaster - for the longer-term prospects both of America, and of the 99.9%.

> This is absolutely completely wrong. No music service supports FairPlay aside from Apple Music. Why would they?

Because they want to support Safari and Homepods generally.

> Music you buy from all services is DRM free and music you stream is only in the apps and have no need to support FairPlay

Every significant music subscription service has web based playback, which will use a DRM system to protect those streams, and will use a multi-DRM system to support multiple browsers. Safari doesn't support Widevine, so if the service works in Safari that means the service also serves FairPlay Streaming licenses.

> Even the ability to play movies bought in one store and being available in another store as a purchased item is supported via MoviesAnywhere integration and not FairPlay.

Very difficult to see what this has to do with the topic at hand, but Fairplay is used to stream those titles to devices that support it. MoviesAnywhere is back end, not distribution. Fairplay has been ported to non-Apple devices too, at least the lower levels.
It's the fireside monopoly approach.

Break the law so you can undercut the real producers, and then buy the rights when they're broke and everything works out for you!

That's true but not everyone lives in their own complex.

An apartment complex with 500 people could benefit from 1 installation assuming the benefit comes from something installed at the base of the unit and then applies to all inner-building plumbing.
Intel also had a lot of trouble with the drivers for their recent discrete GPU.
Heat pumps require some domain-specific knowledge to build a system that costs less than gas for the same building (the crossover point is near a seasonal average COP of 4.0 at UK's gas and electricity prices, as mentioned in other comments SCOPs of 4.5 are very possible). Yet there are subsidies available and installers without the knowledge (who would normally be installing gas systems) are installing them basically without sizing radiators correctly or by doing things that reduce performance (big buffer tanks, lots of zoning, extra pumps that are unnecessary, etc.).

So there are lots of horror stories of companies installing systems that don't work very well and cost a lot of money to run, which makes people think heat pumps are crap. But usually people like Heat Geek trained installers can fix such systems without changing the equipment - often both providing more comfort than gas (less thermal cycling because heat pumps with inverters can modulate their output more precisely instead of hard switching on and off) and costing less to run than gas.
Yeah, the AI is good (too expensive IMO) - it's really nice being able to choose between the best models from all the providers.
I get through life fine without my aftermarket products being policed. You try different stuff, check reviews and the like. Some are worse than the manufacturers, sometimes better eg some Anker stuff.

Rumbelows was a white goods store, so didn't sell medicines. I think some of the symbols may refer to duplicate items. I'll give you my guesses using the letter above to refer to the symbol.

The R, U, and L symbols are all from a tape deck, and are play, stop, and pause respectively. The M is a roll of camera film. The B is a frost symbol, and most likely represents fridges / freezers. The E is an on/off symbol; it may just refer to generic electrical equipment, or could possibly represent cookers. I have no idea what the O and W are supposed to be, but if I had to make a stab in the dark I would say one may be microwave ovens and one may be radio or TV. The S is most likely washing machines, as someone else has mentioned.

Combining package and interpreter management can be a good developer experience for some, but it also means some people can’t or won’t use the tool, because they prefer their OS’s Python, or are forced to use a specific Python.

Decoupling the two while designing the interpreter manager CLI to forward some actions or parts of them to the package manager would be the best of both worlds. Users who can/want your interpreters use the merged CLI, others can still use the package manager separately with their favourite Python.

Of course! We love how easy it is to get bots up and running, and the ecosystem of bridges made it really easy to incentivize people to onboard, because we can basically offer "for free" the ability for people to answer their instagram messages without opening instagram, etc.

Our only issue has been onboarding flow. We get that there's an "identity server" but when we use vector.im and generate invite links from for example Element, they usually get sent into a flow where they, confusingly, are making an account on some big home server instead of ours (I think like matrix.org or something). We were going to deploy our own identity server after someone on iirc matrix community chat somewhere mentioned that the email flow is implemented per identity server, but all the FOSS identity servers we could find were deprecated. Anyway now we just give people tokens that we generate in synapse and screenshot instructions lol. The one thing I miss from slack is being able to just right click a Room, click "invite," enter someone's email address, and it's all handled from there.
