You'd be amazed how bad hospitals can be at keeping track of fairly critical things.

I had a cousin who voluntarily checked himself into the hospital related to severe withdrawal symptoms (and had bouts of psychosis related to said with withdrawal - meth addictions are nasty). His mother stayed for awhile but had to leave for work. She was repeatedly guaranteed by multiple doctors and nurses that he could not check himself out and would be there for several days at least. They told her to come back the next morning.

Late that night, he was discharged. Not even "he checked himself out". The hospital discharged him (and that's over an hour ride away from home, btw - no hospitals in rural areas these days).

He had no phone and no wallet. According to staff, he tried to call his mother to pick him up, but couldn't remember her cell phone number (it had changed recently). He called his sister and left a message, but she was traveling and didn't get it until much later. According to the hospital, he tried to call several different numbers trying to get a ride home and they made him stop and made him leave. In a quite rough downtown area he was not familiar with. While clearly not in his right mind. At 2am. With no wallet, no phone, no nothing.

The hospital had his mother's contact info. They did not give it to him even when he requested it. They did not attempt to contact her in any way.

We still don't know what happened afterwards. His body was found four days later in the river and it had been there for awhile.

Forcibly discharging someone under those circumstances and refusing to even contact their emergency contacts is beyond belief. I'm furious about it. Apparently it's common and not even something there's any recourse for.

Stripe is likely to destroy your business
Stripe deleted this post in their sub on Reddit.
So I'm taking this to a larger more public forum.

I don't want to be petty or unreasonable. I just want communication from them.

Facts:

2 year old company. Management Consultant & Marketer.

Process only through invoices with signed contracts

Processed over 753k last year

1 Fraudulent chargeback from a bad client STILL UNDER CONTRACT

Situation

1 client fraudulently charged back 16k while in month 6 of a 12 month contract.

Stripe shuts the account down but strangely continues to process its just I have a 60-90 day hold.

I open another account using the same LLC. After business review Stripe inputs a 30% reserve (totally rational).

I sign a 24k client. Charge 24k.

Problem.

Stripe completely shuts that account down. No charges or payouts. Wants me to submit EIN, bank statements, & my contract.

I do.

I get an email from support saying I failed the appeal and the charges will be reversed to the customers and they will no longer support my business.

But the old account doesn't have the same problem. Just a 60-90 day hold on my payments.

Support isn't helpful. I even email Patrick.

Crickets.

Now they aren't shutting down my account. They are not reversing the charges like they said they would (I want them to).

The payout date on the 27,139 in my account keeps shifting 2 days.

They won't tell me what of my charges qualify for reversal. They also state they will pocket everything else that isn't reversed.

I feel like I have been robbed.

I'm going to wait my 5 days then tell all my clients to dispute. This pisses me off because next week I have to pay for travel out of pocket to service a client whose payment is tied up in this.

I don't want to stoop to this level because I hate lawyers and hate threats even more.....but if the disputes don't work and Stripe doesn't act right & reverse all charges in their shutdown immediately, my attorney will sue in Florida for tortious interference with a contract in force.

27k isn't a lot of money but the more I research the more abuses I see from Stripe.

I don't think I'm the only one here and it's going to take a class action lawsuit to stop these abuses from continuing since our government won't regulate them like the bank they truly are.

Just tell me what is going on Stripe. I understand business and risk.

But this lack of communication is unacceptable
Ive had tremendous success submitting files to AI and just having it produce a structured readme.md for the logic within the code, I'll do a thing where I say Give me a readme, include description of functions, logic, how its invoked, dependencies, monitoring and give me a mermaid and swim diagram of the workflow.

Its great.

Another thing I do with an AI helper is when I have it write out a function for me I have it write out the descriptor that can go in the readme for that function. I also have it write a header with version description path etc.

It was an experiment which started with the goal is to have all the code for a simple project with its associated readme functions loaded into a textai workflow and postgres DB and I can dynamically call the readme functions for everything by having a bot yank all the MD table for all the functions and just put together a real-time readme. As I add txtAI workflow scripts, they put their MDs into the DB, I try having it spit a JSON of its MD to a mongo?

The point is playing with ways to have the system self document as I/it develops.

Because one of the ways I have been using Claude to learn is through a F-ton of iterating on an initial thought and bird-walking through implementing a tool wrapped around it.

This way, as I iterate through many many version of a concept or script/function/api/crawler - it keeps a reminder readme for when I want to know what the heck was I thinking (I have had super awesome moments of brilliance, and then after a sleep or lengthy distraction - totally loose the Mode and have no idea what I was doing, or how I came up with BrilliantIdea(TM)

Hundreds of developers?

It's a large code base, but it doesn't require hundreds of developers working concurrently to keep it up to date. Web standards move fast, but not that fast.

Take a look at Ladybird. There's a browser being built from scratch with a small team (less than 10?)

If Mozilla fired 90% of it's employees and kept the 10% to actually work on Firefox, it could be a great browser.
We just recently migrated to uv from pip-tools and it was pretty seamless. uv pretty much just plugs into the standard python tooling workflow.

It's the very same driver. And one big selling point of NVIDIA has always been that you could run CUDA on your consumer card too - unlike AMD where their compute stack of the day would only run on a select few cards of the last generation.
Triple booking surgeons? Do they think patients in need of surgeries are just going to up and cancel, and hospitals are behaving like airlines?
That's entirely appropriate imo - system packager should be running pip or whatever and then putting the output where it wants, it's not for setuptools or whatever to declare that.

What path would you put in setup.py anyway? A different one for different distro preferences, a different one again for Windows, for macOS?
That would be an excellent way to initiate a death spiral for the commercial publishers.
I recently tried Linux Mint, initially Cinnamon, then installed KDE Plasma. In the former fractional scaling was badly broken. In the latter, I couldn't control screen brightness.

Overall almost everything worked but not all things. And I'm used to working through technical hiccups and being patient. But ultimately there's no guarantee "Linux" will be fully functional on your unique hardware setup, and it's still challenging to choose distribution, windows manager, desktop environment, etc and there's no way to know which combo is best for your hardware without a lot of time consuming trial and error.
So... you are complaining that a software that hacks into another software on linux needs more effort to work compared to windows? I think that's a completely reasonable outcome in this case. Care to give a different one? Look, I'm completely aware of linux shortcomings and deal with them constantly, but I also think it's a far cry from how hard it used to be 15 years ago, or even 5 years ago! Maybe you are making things harder for yourself trying to run games on a "too stable" system like Debian or and old Ubuntu LTS? Usually people recommend more bleeding edge stuff for this like a Fedora or Arch based distro. There has been a bit of an upheaval in linux world lately, things are changing constantly and being on the bleeding edge isn't as bloody as it used to be. In exchange, you get better support for apps, which is the key thing lacking in linux since... forever.

Anyway, I also have my linux bullshit story of the day. I've been playing Nintendo Switch games on the Yuzu emulator for over two years now but things took an unexpected turn when Nintendo sued the Yuzu devs and took over the project, being hostile to anyone trying to fork it or even host it anywhere. If you are a windows user you can just keep using your installation and whatever "setup.exe" to keep reinstalling it because it's a stable api/abi system (until maybe windows 12 comes and breaks stuff). On a "unstable" linux distro, your yuzu installation is now constantly bit rotting away due to libraries apis and abis changing over time as the system updates. So now occasionally when I try opening yuzu and I'm greeted with... absolutely nothing (why linux DEs have such a hard time showing generic error messages when an app crash or exits ungracefully? That would be great feedback to the user, anyway, I digress).

Obviously normal/noob linux user would already be helplessly stuck, but I carry on. Running yuzu on the terminal reveals the error message, A library is missing. Running ldd on it reveals even more libraries missing. The rotting is on. I now have to run some commands to find which library pertains to which package (it's not always obvious) and find a way to get an old package containing it. Hopefully, Arch based distros have this nifty tool "dowgnrade" that lets you downgrade or download old packages. Now I have to extract all relevant libraries and put them together on some directory. I then have to run yuzu with special env vars such as LIB_PATH= LIBS= to make it load such libraries. To my demise it's not over yet, some libraries are loaded as dependencies of other libraries, which were not previously present, so ldd couldn't possibly find them. I have to repeat all steps again until all dependencies are met.

Finally, I can play some fucking Zelda. But by now I'm too tired, and it's too late. Maybe I should just have remained a Windows user 18 years ago after all. But before those intrusive toughs can complete, I think about all the bullshit people have to put up when using Windows, honestly, Linux bullshit is worth it.

The other thing about only using your turn signal when other people are around, is that what you're actually doing is using your turn signal when you're aware of other people being around.

Especially as a pedestrian I think a lot of drivers are basically blind to your existence and then don't bother to signal turns because if they don't notice you then why would they need to warn anyone of what they're about to do with their 6000 pound metal box? And besides, are pedestrians really people anyway?
Maybe even a reverse litmus test. You can't go full-Linux and ignore Windows, otherwise you'll become illiterate in the most used consumer desktop OS after a few years when Microsoft messes it up even more :P

Thanks, next time I'll make a more nuanced question, promise.
I'm building open source games, not a cloud gaming platform. So I was just curious if the AGPL covers also cloud gaming, since I didn't really find something on the web to that specific topic.
100% agree with this.

From my perspective, Linux only works for people if you give a fuck about Linux and make it part of your core being. Some of us give a fuck about solving the problem, not the tool.

There is nothing more frustrating when I'm told "have you used Linux on the desktop". I literally use it on the server, have done everything down to writing kernel modules, have brought up startups and piles of infrastructure on it for 25 years but fuck no, it isn't going to the desktop because it doesn't solve any problems there, only creating new ones.

Blockchain came about because of the assumption that an internet currency must be zero-trust.

But let's look at these paragraphs:

> Blockchain stocks fail criterion #2: there being no trusted party to host the database. The fact is that if you're going to hold the shares of a company, you explicitly need to trust them - so you may as well trust them to host your database.

> For example you need to trust that their published financial statements are accurate. You also need to trust that they will try to return your investment. Traditional companies hold their own register of shareholders (they just outsource the trading) and it is a problem very, very rarely.

Currencies work because we trust that the government (IE, the thing that governs,) keeps a stable value in the currency. IE, currencies are built on trust.

Even Bitcoin relies on trust: You have to trust the source code. You have to trust that there isn't a large bad actor perpetuating a >50% attack. You have to trust that, at some point in the future, your bitcoin will be worth something. Governments have it in their best interests to keep their currency valuable. (Unless you're post-WWI Germany and it's in your best interest to hyper-inflate your currency to make your debt worthless. IE, Germany realized that hyper-inflation was preferable to the economic toll of paying off their debt.)

This lesson, that currencies only work through trust, really negates the point of cryptocurrency for general-purpose usage.

The first bug I remember writing was making native calls in Java to process data. I didn’t understand why in the examples they kept rerunning the handle dereference in every loop.

If native code calls back into Java, and the GC kicks in, all the objects the native code can see can be compacted and moved. So my implementation worked fine for all of the smaller test fixtures, and blew up half the time with the largest. Because I skipped a line to make it “go faster”.

I finally realized I was seeing raw Java objects in the middle of my “array” and changing the value of final fields into illegal pairings which blew everything the fuck up.

For real. Biking for a commute in the United States should come with hazard pay. So many drivers just absolutely, from the word go, hate cyclists with a burning passion. And the best you can hope for outside of that, is benign neglect, and since you don't pose the same threat a 3-ton suburban does to their suburban, they just don't look for you and don't give a shit where you are. I've been nearly hit so many times, and not in the way you think: it's low-speed stuff where someone is trying to make a turn out of a driveway, or backing out of their own, or waiting to go left across busy traffic, and they're so focused on looking for cars that pedestrians and bikes just fade into the background.

And I know I'll probably get some dickhead typing an angry reply about how one time a cyclist didn't obey a stop sign or something and therefore we're the scum of the road fit only to coat the tread of his tires, but just like, this is not the same goddamn situation. I'm moving about a hundred pounds of light metal and rubber, and you're moving between 2 and 4 tons of machinery. Fuck off with this ridiculous equivalence.

Cruisers? These are meant for stuff like destroyers. Wimpy stuff that can't put up the defense a cruiser could.

I do agree, however, that anti-ship missiles will always be aimed at military targets. You use missiles to penetrate hostile airspace. If you don't need standoff capability you can put more boom on target cheaper with a laser guided bomb.
That's pretty much impossible. In a sibling thread I explained that even if a machine is Ubuntu certified, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's compatible in real world.

Assembled PCs tend to be more compatible (because of more standard components), but on the othe hand each individual component doesn't receive the coverage (testing) as laptops. There was no way for me to know that my mobo's sleep is broken on Linux, even if the previous mobos from the same producer had good compatibility.

You can still use the setuptools backend when using declarative tooling, I use it in projects I can't fully port to pyproject.toml.
Just hang in there. As model capabilities increase, people care less about ai ethicists opinions and it creates pressure on corporations to deliver. Meta actually canceled an early generative text model called Galactica because journalists and people from Department of Truth made a huge scene out of it[1].

Two areas where I think Zed might fall behind: Cursor Tab is REALLY good and probably requires some finetuning/ML chops and some boutique training data.

For composer, there's going to be more use of "shadow workspace" https://www.cursor.com/blog/shadow-workspace to create an agentic feedback loop/ objective function for codegen along with an ability to navigate the language server and look up definitions and just generally have full context like an engineer. Are there plans for the same in zed?

Also, cursor has a model agnostic apply model, whereas you all are leaning on claude.

> My phone has always done just fine mounted on a dash

Phone (and their batteries) can be permanently damaged in heat. Some phones monitor the temperature. If the phone exceeds temp thresholds, it warns you (blocking navigation information), stops charging, and may even shutdown to prevent further damage.

If you're in a cooler climate and/or run the AC, maybe you wont have issues.
Reading that makes me incredibly outraged. I'm sorry that happened and your family had to go through that.
Not literally nothing. Some people will deliberately cough in your face, but most people will give you a little more personal space.

The og article by ESET Security [0] specifically talks about (Android/Chrome-supported) WebAPKs essentially bypassing the usual "untrusted sources" warning, and that even the App Info screen shows Play Store as the origin source for all installed WebAPKs.

Or, inform users if a domain they've never previously visited asks them to enter anything via clipboard or keyboard.
