> There is no guarantee or regulation or requirement to make it so.

I believe Nacha Operating Rules & Guidelines sets forth the requirement. Regardless, you are correct that the blog post in question could use some improvement around communicating funds transfer timelines.

> 2. ACH Payment Processing: Availability of Funds

> In accordance with Nacha Operating Rules & Guidelines, any non-Same Day ACH credit payment
must be made available for withdrawal by the Receiver no later than 9:00 a.m., Receiving
Depository Financial Institution (RDFI) local time, on the settlement date (provided the entries are
made available to the RDFI by its ACH operator no later than 5:00 p.m. on the banking day prior to
the settlement date).

> On January 03, 2022, the Fiscal Service accepted the Nacha rule changes that allow for Same Day
ACH transactions, and effective March 22, 2022, Fiscal Service amended 31 CFR Part 210, to
address changes made by Nacha through the 2021 Nacha Operating Rules & Guidelines book,
including supplements thereto.

> Same Day ACH rules have established three windows for all financial institutions to submit Same
Day ACH payments: 10:30 a.m., 2:30 p.m., and 4:45 p.m. ET. Fiscal Service only uses the second and
third windows for same day ACH transactions. Funds from Same Day ACH credits processed in the
second processing window will be made available by 5:00 p.m. RDFI’s local time, while funds from
Same Day ACH credits processed in the third window are settled at 6:00 p.m. ET. The amount of a
third window Same Day ACH credit must be available to the receiver’s account no later than the end
of the RDFI’s processing day (RDFI’s local time). Such funds are not required to be
available for
withdrawal on the settlement date. There is a $1,000,000 per payment limit for Same Day ACH that
applies to all Fiscal Service payment customers.

>You're not liable for fraud and most banks will replace the card quickly.

It's enough of a pain in the ass that most people would rather not deal with it at all. An extra layer of security to help it not happen is a very nice benefit.
Yeah, but lots of diagnostic work is done by end users in the real world. Users rarely have good access to the developer team, if the team even still exists. Usually there are layers of insulation that mean your problem might be looked at in a few weeks or months only if the company thinks it might be interesting. Meanwhile you have your problem to fix and it is off to stack traces and access logs to try to figure out what went wrong. Maybe some library updated. Maybe there was a permissions change. Maybe some policy change at the OS level. Maybe some external resource went away or changed syntax. It is up to you as the end user to figure it out and fix it, or at least figure out a unique enough error message that you can Google to find someone else with the same problem.

There is nothing more frustrating than a dialog box that says "An error occurred" and then the program shuts down. Frankly I'd rather it crashed hard, at least then I might have some evidence to sift through in the blast zone.
It's interesting, because I know a few warehouse workers, and they all sing the praises of the job (all in the Bay Area). But yet I can see what the conditions are. I feel like every warehouse is a semi-independently run fiefdom and some are run a lot better than others.
The left-click switch on my Logitech G305 started glitching-out after a couple years, particularly noticeable when trying to drag something, the drag would drop randomly in the middle. Disappointing to only last a couple years.

I found replacement switches for $10 on amazon, pre-wired with little plug, easy enough to install with just a micro-screwdriver, no soldering. This problem is common enough that there is a good selection of different switch brands/types available. Fantastic. Not disappointed at all anymore, honestly.

> For example Hashicorp and Redis definitely wouldn't be where they are today if they had start out as opensource

What makes you think there are genuine open source projects that don't get traction? Ansible is still GPLv3 even while owned by RedHat^W IBM and works fine. Any one of the bazillions of front-end toolkits, build tools, bundlers, whatever, many initiated by some company and practically all under open source licenses.

My experience has been that if something is useful, and its open source license means one can fix bugs they encounter or at least have a small chance it'll remain around indefinitely (not go out of business) in order to bake it into your workflow, then it'll be adopted and blogged about and show up in HN and Reddit
Thanks, I'll give it a shot in IntelliJ.

It's hard to address just one point for how messed up this seems, but the first thing that stands out is that I would guess the code volume of this process has to be unsustainable.

Humans themselves tend to write new code instead of using old code- a common problem- but with sensible code structures and CI, code will grow at a sustainable rate.

LLMs continuously barf a steam of new code, never deleting anything. Then you need to provide the barf as context, and the cycle surely must continue until it falls apart. How has this not happened yet?

Show HN: Thumbly – Generate dynamic social media thumbnails for your website
Hello HN community, happy Thursday!

I’m excited to share something I’ve been working on over the past few weeks: Thumbly.

You’ve probably seen those dynamic social media thumbnails when you share a GitHub repository on Twitter or other social media. Thumbly can bring that same functionality to your website.

With Thumbly, you can generate dynamic social media thumbnails for every page of your site. These thumbnails can automatically change based on the parameters you set, so each page has its own unique design. No need to manually create or upload different thumbnails every time you publish new content.

I originally built Thumbly for one of my own side projects because I wanted dynamic, GitHub-style thumbnails for social media shares. I’d love to share it with others who might find it useful. So this is basically a side-project of a side-project.

There’s no signup page yet, but feel free to reach out to me via email. I’ll be happy to help you integrate Thumbly into your website or even set it up on your own server.

I’m actively using Thumbly myself, so I’ll continue to improve and add features. Your feedback and ideas would mean a lot as I refine it!

And if you are not happy with the pricing, I'd be happy to discuss something that fit your requirements and site's workload.

PHP syntax does add to the line widths, so breaking long lines in multiple lines by extracting variables can help with readability. Using return, continue and break early reduces indentation so that helps too, as well as creating smaller functions.

I use Ruby for scripting because it has a big standard library (unlike javascript) and an expressive syntax. The syntax is also very readable and short. It's also easy to install gems globally and use them. Things only need to be imported once.

I wouldn't say these things are qualities for big projects though. I like Typescript for big projects.
> When you have over half a trillion of revenue a year the fractions of a percent add up.

I dealt with cancer this year. I had my choice of health systems, one 30 minutes away or one 5 minutes away. By the end I was very grateful I went with the closest. At one point I had radiation every morning at 8:30 for a month. Drop the kid at school then swing by for the appointment is much more manageable than an hour commute while feeling like ass.

It's not just the specialists either. My pcp at a local health clinic is a MD/PhD from a top 5 med school. Most of the best in any field don't want to live in Podunk either.

I think the critical miss of that era was Research in motion not buying palm. I think that combination could have had a real shot of staying relevant.

- AES_128_GCM for data encryption with SHA-256 for hashing and KDF

My views exactly. I'll add two more:

- AI output is taken as an ultimate source of truth despite frequently, and dangerously, getting details wrong. Fact-checking is abdicated as a personal responsibly while simultaneously marketing and designing products to people who are weak at or are otherwise indifferent about critical thinking. (This is similar to social media products telling its users to "consume responsibly" while designing them to be as addictive as possible.)

- AI is expensive. Microsoft, Google and Meta are the only companies that can afford to train. I don't feel comfortable with allowing these companies to be the ultimate arbiter of truth behind the scenes.

Ask HN: How do I get better at questioning?
Recently, I’ve realized I’m not as good at asking questions as I’d like to be. By that, I mean asking questions to better understand something, think critically, extend a conversation, spark creativity, deepen relationships, etc.

I feel like I've lost that child-like curiosity that drives kids to ask questions incessantly. I don't want to emulate the "Why?" rabbit-hole that kids do, but I do want to rediscover how to ask more thoughtful and meaningful questions. I don't feel like I have the "question-vocabulary" to come up with them.

Any advice or resources (books/podcasts) would be helpful.
But it’s also not illegal to get fed up and go above and beyond to automate everyone.

I think what you don't see is that the shareholders are in large part pension funds and people saving for retirement. In the absence of a wildly higher-tax government pension system, which as many other countries have demonstrated, come with just as much risk, there isn't a plausible way that I can save for retirement without holding stocks. Plus I get to pick stocks instead of just hoping the government knows what it's doing with my pension dollars.

You can run uC Linux without an MMU, but you won't get memory safety. Better microcontrollers (that includes the RP2040 and RP2350) have an MPU (memory protection unit) to implement memory safety, but almost no microcontroller has a real MMU (only the MIPS derived PIC32 come to mind). An MPU is far more visibly exposed to the programmer than a paging MMU that combines access control with address space virtualisation. To make it even more annoying the ARMv6M architecture isn't intended to recover from memory usage faults. You have to use really dirty tricks to "fake it" (return from the hard fault into an unimplemented exception, infer the address and cause the fault before you can recover), but it's possible. It's not even that slow. Depending on your usecase a fast warm-start of the whole chip may be preferable to restarting single tasks (e.g. just set the hardware watchdog countdown timer to 1 and spin until it happens).

So you can see when a cable has a USB-C connector but only USB-2.0 D+ and D- lines and CC vs one with the extra differential pairs. Faster than trying to mess with a breakout board & a multimeter.

It can. It can modify the active document.

In the chat sidebar dialog there are two submit buttons. The one labelled "chat" cannot edit the active file and when you chat using that submit button it doesn't understand your code base.

The submit button labelled "Codebase chat" on the other hand can update the active document and has knowledge about your project.

In the codebase chat dialog it will print the suggested changes and then you must press the apply button next to the suggested change. then it will apply the changes to the file in a git compare kind of way with red and green colors. Finally you must accept each of the red/green changes and the file will be updated on disk.
