if paying by bank wire costs $198 and you want to offer it as a method of payment - it is on YOU.

amazing people here don’t understand that there is a cost of running a business. you don’t want to pay Visa 11% - don’t. you don’t want to pay apple 30% - don’t make ios apps. it is that simple mate
So that’s part of the article is just wrong?

It basically says the telescope can take high res pictures of secret satellites, but they have to wait 3 days to release them.

It claims after 3 days, nobody will know where they are “now.”

That seems to suggest the concern is location, not appearance. It also suggests the locations aren’t predictable.

Those particular Visa terms of service eventually got shot down in New Zealand - now many POS terminals/cashiers will tell you that there’s an additional charge for credit cards [0]

(Also, no tipping in New Zealand, except for a few restaurants close enough to the cruise ships that they think their customers won’t know any better).

For someone like me who is almost addicted to short videos, this is a great app. It can serve as a reminder and help me reduce my dependence on the phone. But when I use my phone to do serious work, this reminder will be very annoying.
If it wasn’t on the menu before you ordered, it’s unlikely to be legal.
How is it different from Meilisearch[1]? I’m running search for my small multi tenant SaaS and self hosted Meilisearch gives me grief like any relatively new tech, so I’m shopping for new solutions.

> Perfect pitch means that I can sit down at a piano (or other instrument), play one random note, and you can instantly tell me what note that is. No preamble, no tuning yourself up, you can just do it.

Yes, I can do this. I don't understand why people are so keen on gatekeeping perfect pitch.
Being conservative in the language extensions you use/allow in an organization is pretty important to maintaining usability of Haskell as a language.

Do we ever use TypeFamilies and DataKinds? Sure, but it's very rare.

https://www.simplehaskell.org/ is a pretty reasonable set of guidelines (though we opt for a more conservative approach ourselves)

I'd love to see an update on this in a few years.

Do the low taxes continue to hold enough attraction to stay?
Is it as simple as Intel purchasing the equipment from ASML to make their chips?
I agree, and I think my post supports that, in a way. I'm just saying 95% of people probably could work just fine with GSheets or LibreOffice or whatever, but the very same is true for MacExcel (even more true, in fact, because it's closer to WinExcel than the alternatives).
Engineer vs mathematician. Haskell is the schizophrenic product.

This is kind of like Go vs C++, or <anything> vs Common Lisp. The former is a rather unsophisticated and limited language, not particularly educational or enlightening but good when you need N developers churning code and onboard M new ones while you're at it. The latter is like tripping on LSD; it's one hell of a trip and education, but unless you adopt specific guidelines, it's going to be harder to get your friends on board. See, for example: https://www.parsonsmatt.org/2019/12/26/write_junior_code.htm...
I agree. If they weren't making money, they'd go bust, so clearly someone likes the "burnt coffee". It's odd how some posters (not you!) Will act like an obvious opinion is to be taken as fact, and not acknowledge that some people like a certain taste. I mean, some people like super salty anchovies, but I abhor them, but I don't tell the anchovie lovers that they are incorrect.
Amazing! It looks like this is one step closer to singularity and this startup showcases what future startups should aspire to be. Although the technology for world generation is just in its infancy, but it’s impressive and atmosphere is great with a stunning impact. Everything you need to wow an investor and secure funding while the technology itself can be hotfixed for years to come. I think at this stage the showcased technology seems more aligned with cinema than the metaverse. Great work! Looking forward to the updates.
Choral/string music is quite nice - the musicians have an opportunity to bend pitch as locally appropriate to make perfect intervals. I definitely did this when I was singing in a chorus. But piano is still my first love :)
How well is Apple doing with the modem team they purchased from Intel? I have yet to see Apple release their own in-house 5G modem. I don’t think Apple can magically turn things around for Intel and such an acquisition would be a waste of money.

I don't think anyone's gatekeeping it - it's important that you define something as it actually is otherwise it ceases to lose all meaning. (Cough fascism cough).
This is one of my reasons. I also believe that compared to the Moon, Mars is more likely to both give crewed spaceflight and human habitation of other bodies the big boost it needs and make it more of a permanent fixture — the Moon’s relative convenience is a problem in that it makes it just as easy to mothball as it is to get to. Lingering too long on the Moon as the focal point brings substantial risk of backsliding into Shuttle-era stagnation.
The objective would likely drive lots of improvements to science and engineering.

Mars itself is very inhospitable to humans.
Walmart has an interesting option when it comes to tips on grocery delivery.

If you have a Walmart+ membership ($98/year or $12.95/month) you get free home delivery on grocery orders of $35/month or more, and tipping is handled just like most delivery services--you don't have to but most people will feel guilty if they don't.

But if you add the Walmart InHome add-on to Walmart+, which adds $40/year or $7/month, then the delivery people are not allowed to accept tips. If you want to show your appreciation Walmart says you can leave a note or comment on your delivery survey.

Note that if you just have groceries delivered once per month, and order the minimum amount for free delivery ($35), and leave a 10% tip (the minimum most people who tip out of guilt will probably leave) that will come to more than $40/year in tips so InHome might actually be a decent deal.

BTW, it is called InHome because no tipping is not actually the main point. The main point is that instead of just dropping your delivery off outside they will put it where you want, including inside your house. They will even unpack it and put things away in your fridge and cupboards if you want. I think I'd find that kind of creepy because I really don't like other people in my home, but I can see how some people could find it useful.
Why not buy some at a European outlet and have it sent over, or even better from Kenya with obvious checks and balances in there for veracity :)

So your point of view is that businesses shouldn't be allowed to give customers choices that have different costs and charge them fairly? Every option has to cost exactly the same for everyone?

How do you feel about shipping options then? Should Amazon charge the same for 5-day ground as they do for overnight shipping?
The whole microbiome thing is way overblown. It's like studying a great city by looking at rats in the sewer. And yeah, maybe some people have rats in their houses too. That's doesn't really tell you much about the city.

This is indeed a problem, because as I described above, it is related to a misunderstanding of color intensity. Indeed, #FFFFFF is an increased brightness of white, acceptable in limited areas of the screen, but never on the entire screen.

For example, try turning on movies on the screen, they don't use a completely bright white screen, do they?
> Both Haskell and OCaml have kinda barebones standard libraries. […] Haskell doesn’t include Map and HashMap;

The Haskell standard library was split off into smaller parts. Map used to be part of the standard library. To date the containers package (which contains Map) is still pre-installed alongside the GHC compiler. So it should be considered part of the standard library.

Check out the documentation for GHC 3.02 https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/3.02/docs/users_guide/use... it clearly shows a FiniteMap type being provided.
Not the poster you replied to, but try Google Cloud Run or Azure Container Apps.

Both scale to zero, are portable, and allow full use of your language/runtime/framework of choice. Take any app you are deploying to instance compute today and add a Dockerfile and ship it.

AWS App runner comes close, but doesn't have the option to scale to zero.

I am a fullstack, web app developer, but I do prefer backend work and am pretty good at integrations.

I have 5 years of experience writing full-stack, tested, and validated code across several projects at a software consulting firm. I worked directly with clients and led internal teams to meet clients' business goals. Basically, I have experience solving a wide array of problems spanning a variety of industries, and I care about the product and its users.

I'm looking for a senior/senior-track software engineering role at a product-focused company that takes testing and code quality seriously! The reason I'm moving on from my previous role is to learn new things - so a Ruby on Rails/Javascript project would be great, but I'm here to learn! I also want to work with developers who know more than me so I can learn from them.

Compiler messages:

The big difference here is that the OCaml compiler has a lot less work to do. It's not that the Haskell error messages are inadequate (they are actually pretty good), but that the amount of compiler features and type gymnastics make the errors deeper and more complex. For example, if you get the parens wrong in a >> or >>=, you'll get some rather cryptic error that only hits home once you've seen it a few times, as opposed to "did you mean to put parens over there?"
Oh wow thanks, I have to tell you something... It is really hard to explain what a piece of middleware is and why it is important :)
Nice. I see you cover hierarchical (multilevel) linear models, which is already a big step up from the techniques normally covered in STATS101.

The general advice about measuring/comparing models also seems useful.

you do realize you are comparing apples to oranges? charging customers for usage of credit card is specifically forbidden so any business doing is in breach of contract!!

this has nothing to do with shipping options. you cannot charge me money for using a credit card mate, it is 2024 (soon to be 2025).
Missing from this post: string_of_int, int_of_string, +, +., etc. That alone is a massive turn-off for me, I'd rather write C at that point. Any modern language necessitates some kind of polymorphism and make user-defined types feel like first-class citizens.
Yeah I would agree that with proper practice (assuming you have a "locked in" song for every semitone in a scale) - that this could probably be extrapolated to being able to hear a random note on an instrument and then naming that note, and vice versa singing a given note on command.

> the announcement itself feel like a disingenuous, politically motivated, anti-X hit piece

I don't see how. There is no reason that journalists should feel "grandfathered in" to X because they used Twitter before. Elon Musk has very strong opinions about traditional media that rightfully leaves these employed journalists with little hope for the platform. They could be sharing the best-researched articles on the platform and it would consistently underperform relative to whatever the manufactured outrage is on Trending.

It's just frogs noticing the pot boil. Social media has always been a raw deal for these publishers, and now it's probably a loss leader. Why stay on the platform if it's going to go from "shit" to "flaming shit"?

Should have mentioned Hardware. I remember Intel pays more than Apple hardware when adjusted for COL (Intel in Oregon/New Mexico vs Cupertino). It has been a while since I looked into the salaries though. I agree they do not pay well relative to big tech on the software side of things though
> Art in a humanity where artifacts do not decay, is a loosing game. You play against legends, all day, every day.

I think that might require more than just artifacts not decaying. It might also require culture to stop changing. If future culture is too different from the artist's culture those future people might largely not be able to understand the art. They will prefer art from artists of their culture, or recent enough cultures that they still understand them.

Yeah - there has been some speculation that the additional overlaying of a sound (overtones, timbre variations, etc) can help someone who has absolute pitch - whereas even those with the ability can sometimes struggle with something more pure - like a sine wave.
