> When SEC approved Enron's change in account reporting practices from historical cost to mtm, I would argue that the SEC failed it's mandate to protect investors by allowing disingenuously optimistic instrument valuations

In a broad sense, sure. But that means making the SEC both an auditor and determiner of fair value. Even after the ensuing flurry of rule making, that is very much not part of the SEC’s remit.

There is a reasonable debate to be had around whether it should be. But the SEC not double checking auditors is not evidence of its lawlessness.

A lot of Investing is just a legitimized, sanitized, gentlemanly form of gambling. Definition: “placing a monetary wager on an uncertain future event.” Instead of professional gamblers sitting at a poker table in dirty casino that smells like smoke, you’ve got professional gamblers sitting in Goldman Sachs Or Morgan Stanley doing the same thing. Instead of firing up DraftKings, youre firing up eTrade. It’s the exact same thing but we pretend things like options trading are a respectable part of the economy because Ivy Leaguers do it.

It's not even necessarily it being strictly monotonic. That part does help though as you don't need to skip rows.

For me the bigger thing is the randomness. A uid being random for a given row means the opposite is true; any given index entry points to a completely random heap entry.

When backfilling this leads to massive write amplification. Consider a table with rows taking up 40 bytes, so roughly 200 entries per page. If I backfill 1k rows sorted by the id then under normal circumstances I'd expect to update 6-7 pages which is ~50kiB of heap writes.

Whereas if I do that sort of backfill with a uid then I'd expect to encounter each page on a separate row. That means 1k rows backfilled is going to be around 8MB of writes to the heap.
We're still in the process of automating the promotion process. We're very conservative. We have dev, qa, stg, uat, and prod. All fully duplicated and IaC 100% after dev.

Violent people may be attracted to violent video games. To see if violent video games cause real-world violence you could do a study where half the subjects are given violent video games and half are given nonviolent ones. I predict that there will be no significant difference in violence in the two groups.
I don’t think it is confusing, but I think it could be a lot better.

“This is usually caused by another repository pushing to the same ref”: I think the command could check what happened on the remote, and mention something like

“After you got the version you worked on from the server, John and Mary made 8 changes to it. You’ll have to make sure your changes work with theirs by getting those changes”

, with a fallback to a more generic message if the command couldn’t determine with certainty that that is what happened, but that will be rare. The command could also detect when you’re trying to overwrite your own changes and suggest “git push —force-with-lease” (is there even a third option as to why you’d get this message?)

“See the 'Note about fast-forwards' in 'git push --help' for details.”: why is there still no easier way to look up that info than via a command _and_ a search? For example “git push —-help-fast-forwards”?

If it’s a single command, users cloud select and execute it and read the relevant help section.

Now, they have to do “git push —help”, likely (depending on how their shell is set up) losing sight of the ”See the 'Note about fast-forwards'” phrase, so they’ll have to remember what to search for.
The card reader with scanning a barcode is incredibly obtrusive. It requires you to carry the card/bank specific reader with you. So when you're on the go you and want to pay something online with a debit/credit card, you need to whip out the card and the specific reader.

And it included that annoying scanning a barcode on screen AND confirming € amount.

And the readers had 2 options. Sign and confirm (?). Why they couldn't incorporate this into the barcode?

It was all done because it definitely lowered mistakes and was more secure than card number and CVV to pay online.
This to me is a cliché that laments the fact around how certain aspects and communities in software is very popculcural.

One thing good programmers do well is choosing abstractions that are tested and validated, not popular or hyped.

The stack has not changed I decades. E.g It's still TCP, memory allocations and perhaps SQL. Whether you don't want to learn those is up to you. Learn them and you will know your way around for decades to come.
its a matter of perspective. if everyone is one, no one indeed matters, nor exists. This is not discounting anyone nor any fact. what does not exist cannot be discounted.
I think there are valid complaints about the number of git commands / flags and the quality of the docs not helping users understand them, but in my experience _most_ developers who complain about git both have never used any other VCS (including other DVCS systems) and have no mental model for what git does at all.
The latter is usually the bigger problem, because it’s just not that complicated, but it prevents devs from either working things out on their own or asking a reasonable question. I agree with the parent post here - there’s nothing confusing about the error message presented as an example of “why git is bad” here.
That big boilerplate section can be rolled into a single pragma like Modern::Perl, and it's trivial to write such pragmas yourself using Import::into. The difficulties with the boilerplate are overrated, it's the incredibly loose type system that resists any attempts at static typing, and can't even differentiate numbers and strings except by having different operators for the two. Sigil soup still turns people off too, me included even after doing perl off and on for 20 years.

The dev experience of debugging with UUIDs involved degrades so much, it is depressing.

It’s orthogonal, and also technically incorrect – the row overhead itself is indeed 23 bytes (less NULL bitmap), but it gets aligned to 24 bytes. Run pg_column_size(ROW()) if you’d like to check.

The fact that this overhead exists has nothing to do with the 8.6 GB of wasted space on the INTs.

I've already contacted your support, but the requirements I was sent are a little to high for me at the moment, specifically:

- Maintain a 95% deliverability rate for at least 1 month and 3K emails and a required $50/m add-on

It's a small project, I'm not sure I'll be hitting 3k emails anytime soon, or have the budget for the $50/m add-on.

Are these the requirements for companies in the healthcare space?
“Blyth argues that the case for increasing economic growth through austerity is overstated, is counterproductive when implemented during recessions, and has exacerbated the Eurozone crisis.”

This is exceptionally rare in most projects.

I know of only one person in my entire career that had to do this. And they managed it just fine despite working with auto-incrementing big ints.

If there's some actual filings with the EU about this somewhere I'd definitely be interested to read them. If Apple's actually rejecting this application because "they used standard platform buttons in a standard platform way", then yeah, nail them to the wall.

You've got it backwards mate, a lack of enforcement isn't an agreement or resolution or much of anything reliable or solid or sound. This vacuum of enforcement actually ENABLES selective enforcement because a lack of enforcement isn't an official stance but technically at odds with the written law: It's an implicit status quo that could be changed any time and when it does, you could become retroactively liable for behavior that was acceptable under the prior status quo. That is precisely the conditions of selective enforcement: the choice of the enforcer. Under these inconsistent regulatory modalities you may insidiously lose valuable rights like: No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed.
A few months ago something similar also happened to the fashion brand Alviero Martini who was found to be inert in regard to checking the supply chain of their products and whose subcontractors paid the laborers per piece (which is illegal in italy and it was a ridiculously low amount of money)

here is what i could find in english https://www.lcalex.it/en/il-caso-alviero-martini-indica-come... although most articles dwelve deeper in italian, such as https://www.osservatoriodiritti.it/2024/03/13/alviero-martin...

Worth to note that Alviero Martini most famous products, the ones with printed maps design, aren't even made in leather but in synthetic leather, yet when you google them you find the page header as "borse in pelle da donna" (women leather bags) when most of them are synthetics and just a few of them are in part or in most part leather. I just realized this and it adds another layer of scummyness lol

Yea it is spooky and chilling, and it would make me think twice about playing the stock market roulette wheel (not that I need more reasons to avoid gambling).

Say I’m just a normal mild mannered, middle aged investor with a basic 401k making 7% a year. I suddenly get a windfall bonus at work and figure I’ll use this “play money” to yolo into OTM GME options or something. Should I now be worried that the SEC is watching my ass? If I luck into 10Xing that bonus, am I going to have to prove my innocence to the SEC?

Or they wouldn't cost this little if the workers weren't exploited.

How can people look into the costs and think: "it's fine, these people don't deserve compensation for their work. You know who worked hard, the shareholders. Yes, the $2000 profit should go to them."

Prosecutorial discretion enables selective enforcement. Our drug laws are massively enforced; that doesn’t change their selectivity.

So is a history of enforcement!
Strictly speaking it's a directive, which the member states have to implement as law. And from what I can tell it only goes in effect in 2027. Of course, no one is stopping Italy from implementing it early.
As of 3.13, Python doesnt have a GIL either. JVM-based Ruby implementations don't have a GIL. Perl on the other hand never had a GIL, it just more or less defeated the purpose of threading by copying the entire interpreter state including all variables in every thread. Modules that explicitly work with threading are as rare as hens teeth on CPAN, it's almost always some flavor of async like Coro (hell I bet POE still works too).
Seems to me that is very short sighted business model. Selling Chinese sweatshop producs as luxury goods eventually devalues the brand.
From the documentation I found for kSecAttrAccessibleAfterFirstUnlockThisDeviceOnly, it sounds like what you are doing here is explicitly opting out of support for the usual secure mechanisms Apple users have to back up their device--such as an encrypted iTunes backup--which, to me, seems pretty egregiously wrong.

See the comment above, the price revelation is a side effect of an investigation into labor law violations.

To a degree. But a lot of the weirdness of the KJV (like how it mentions "unicorns" nine times despite the ancient Hebrews having no concept of that mythological beast) seem to be because the translators were also using a lot of the existing Latin Vulgate translation (where the Hebrew word now believed to mean "auroch" was mistranslated as "unicornis" as the Hebrew literally means "horned animal")

What's the markup on software?
This is likely the end of the USA.

Not this issue specifically, of course. Many countries have survived treating workers as slaves - it could even be argued it's the default state of history.

Rather, the fact that the supreme court has essentially ruled that it is unconstitutional for the government to govern is likely a harbinger of the end.

When an intragovernmental conflict of this severity happens in any other country, it is called a constitutional crisis. It often results in the firing of the entire government and new elections for every position, and sometimes major changes to the country's constitution to prevent the same thing happening again. It's one of the only events where the monarch still does anything in Commonwealth constitutional monarchies, since they have the power to call for this to happen.

The USA is not a constitutional monarchy, so it will probably just continue the descent until something even bigger breaks.
Yup, not many people seem to know about CACHE vals and/or sequence reservation. It's a problem that I've had to explain a couple of times already to colleagues. And unfortunately hidden assumptions are oft the most dangerous kind.
This is an issue in many cities in the US as well, where owners of view properties are suspected or found to have killed a tree to improve their use of the land. Sometimes it’s on their own property but sometimes it’s on adjacent public property. And sometimes it’s using a chainsaw and sometimes poison.

In Seattle, a city with lots of trees, the big problem today is sanctioned tree killing. The current over-focus on building housing and increasing density has meant revised tree codes that are friendly to builders and reduced enforcement that ignores the obvious destruction of the city’s tree cover.

As an example: a friend living next to a new development saw the builders come cut down several large old trees in the evening on a weekend (probably to avoid attention), and immediately feed them into a large wood chipper towed on site. They were alerted to it by the sound of big trees crashing to the ground. It all happened very quickly. The city was involved due to complaints from multiple neighbors but they decided there was no evidence the trees were protected (due to size), which of course was by design since the evidence was immediately shredded and no one was quick enough to get a photo of the crime. In the end the city did find there was illegal clearing of many trees without appropriate permits (from old survey maps of the lot), but chose not to apply the code and fines (which can be big for large trees) and let the developer plant a small number of saplings in some other site (outside of the city) as if that were equivalent. What was especially concerning was the city told complaining neighbors that they were choosing to not enforce the law because it is a property developer and not a private homeowner.

In my experience, this type of unofficially permitted tree killing by builders is much more common and a far bigger problem than the rare issue of a private homeowner taking down a tree or two. Apart from the attitude towards new development, it is also an issue of corruption since the organizations representing builders are very involved (financially and otherwise) in local politics.
