It was frustrating. As it was me who got to speed weeks figuring out what this guy did. My group figured out the root cause though was the software was not doing what he wanted. So we made up a new group to sell that custom service to others. Everyone eventually came out ahead there. Because someone in his management chain realized that we had a good breach of contract case. Weird is nice for what he was doing. He was being a jerk because the stuff was forced on him. It broke his small empire of spreadsheets he was holding the company hostage with. Our 'mistake' was assuming our customers were rational. Many are. But you always have a handful that seem to just be in a bad place in life and they like to take it out on others.

For IoT devices/cell/etc it could be 'bad' to give out the root password from a company PoV. As there are so many out there with the exact same password on several thousand devices (poor security but you can image a thousand devices in a few hours). So once given out it is written down into some wiki and everyone has it now (welcome to the botnet). So if you get one change whatever you were given and assume everyone else has it. Or maybe the 'secret sauce app' is under some random user account. But give out root and that special secret account is bypassed. Then it is off to china somewhere to be ripped apart and resold under a new brand name and half the cost.

Then on top of that lets say you are a nice company giving the thing out. That means you will need some sort of training for your support guys. Documentation on how to do it. And so on. Those things cost money for a EoL product you no longer make anything on.

Like I said there is a list of things as to why not to do it. There is also an interesting list of why to do it. But the upside is low for the company to allow it. I wish more companies would do it. But it is rare.

If people want companies to do this, the company has to be incentivized to want to spend any time/money on it. If people can make this an upside to companies doing this and not 'shame' and 'you broke the law' the companies will help.
great recommendation
> People used to do these jobs and also own a house, have large families and happy lives.

Well, careers were for one half of the population, as determined by birth, and caring for large families and their houses and elderly was for the other half. We set it up so that the latter was the shitty end of the deal, so eventually that other half got tired of it. Then we started down the path of industrializing care, and that made doing this kind of work even shittier. So, that's where we are today.

That's how Chrome started. I remember it showing a banner with itself on /. which froze a page on scrolling over it for a few seconds. In all browsers except Chrome. Never understood this Chrome-go-go mob mentality that everyone had back then. It was literally an ads-network prodived crappy browser with just tabs and urlbar. It was fast, because it did nothing and had no cpu pressure from the banners. I wouldn't be surprised if it was "fast" all this time only due to special treatment from google, youtube and the corresponding ads/tracking scripts.

"Precedent", yeah.

I am not convinced cash should be kept around for tail cases like this. If the power is out across a country, we have a lot bigger issues. If its just the payment network, well even if you kept cash in the system, who actually has it? If the payment network is down would the ATMs be down as well? I know even in America I am not carrying more than $100 in cash usually and often its $0.

I want to warn everyone about Traderfx, a deceptive trading platform that scammed me out of £52,450. They initially appeared credible, offering professional-looking services and convincing promises of high returns on investments. Eager to make a profit, I trusted them and deposited my money. At first, everything seemed to go well, but when I tried to withdraw my funds, they created numerous hurdles, demanded additional payments, and eventually stopped responding altogether. It was a devastating realization that I had fallen victim to a scam. Thankfully, I was able to recover my money through Mrs Rachael cresswell a professional recovery specialist that handled my case with diligence and expertise. I strongly advise against investing with Traderfx or similar platforms. Always conduct thorough research and avoid any platform that pressures you to invest quickly or makes unrealistic promises.

I would be 100% of board with cashless society if it weren't for these kyc requirements. I consider the ability to use capital discretely at our own discretion is fundamental to freedom within the framework of a capitalist society. For that reason, I'd really prefer if there were alternative ways to pay using stablecoins. preferably with obfuscated transaction logs like monero.

Without that, it becomes easier for politicians to restrict free speech

> Things start to go sideways when you have tens of thousands of users.

Hm not really. I manage the GHES instance at my employer and we have 15k active users. We haven't needed to scale horizontally, yet.

GHES is amazingly reliable. Every outage we have ever had has been self-inflicted; either we were too cheap to give it the resources it needed to handle the amount of users who were using it, or we tried to outsmart the recommended and supported procedures by doing things in a non-supported way.

Along the way we have learned to never deviate from the supported ways to do things, and to keep user API quota as small as possible (the team which managed this service prior to my team would increase quota per user anytime anyone asked, which was a capital-M Mistake.)

> People are free to target whoever they want when publishing on the internet.

People are also free to criticize whatever is published on the internet. Hypotetically not being a part of the "target audience" doesn't preclude one form such freedom.

I agree with the comment above: the introduction doesn't really "introduce" the reader to the language, it only introduces the reader to the syntactic constructs used in the language. Such introduction would better fit in the "specification" section.
This is great. I wish I could add a clock to it somehow. This would be super useful for auditing purposes.
Group outcomes certainly differ and the differences ate measurable. But the measurements don’t support your argument much.

Yes, not the wild asparagus but the ones you can shop have thick hard stalks at the base!
One example is flee markets, or different type of second hand. Christmas markets etc. Some do accept debit / credit cards but a lot is swish only.

For cards, depends on the bank. I know my bank at-least do send the card abroad to my current home and as long as i keep my digital authenticator ID (bank ID) i am able to access that, renew cards. Do most banking services etc.

I also managed to get a new bank authenticator by going to the embassy and get signed papers etc, however it took about 5 months or so if you don't have any cash that might become a issue. :)
>"National wealth" is not a vague notion, it's the product of lots of government workers doing a lot of statistics

Wow what a convincing justification for the need to equate the measurement of rising capital within national jurisdictions over an analysis that acknowledges the distinction between revenue among fortune 500 shareholders and the average person who is not exposed to such returns.

>Income for the bottom 10% is rising. Wealth for the bottom 10% is rising.

If income for the bottom majority increases at a rate slower than the income of the top minority then "income" is being concentrated upward. Money determines the distribution of resources, it is not a resource itself. If the concentration of the ability to determine resources is increasingly concentrated upwards then people are getting poorer, regardless if overall production has increased.

Your idea that everyone is actually getting richer and upwardly mobile is not reflected in reality.

>I don't doubt that quality-of-life has declined for a lot of people - but those people are a minority and the data does not support anything else. Most of their pain is almost certainly housing prices, which have been the Great Sin of the Democratic party and notably have very little to do with federal policy.

How do skyrocketing housing prices not factor into your judgment that people's quality of life isn't declining?? I don't care who you want to blame it on (!?), not being able to afford a house makes people's lives worse and more people can't afford houses...

>Most of these takes are bad because that's not how the stock market works. Elon Musk cannot go out tomorrow and buy $3XXB of stuff. He probably cannot even come CLOSE to realizing the full paper value of his net worth in cash. None of the world's rich can. Yet there is a daily, breathless headline about wealth inequality that waves those dollar figures around like they're real.

Who's saying that Elon Musk is walking around with a trillion bank notes in his pockets like Scrooge McDuck? You're arguing with shadows, and if you think that wealth is not being upwardly concentrated in the top 1% - which is justified by any metric regardless of the stock market or unrealized assets - then I don't see what I'm going to get out of a discussion with someone so utterly removed from reality.

The rely was to a Swede who lives abroad and comes back to visit Sweden.

Presumably they have cards they can bring with them on the trip that work in Sweden even though their address is outside Sweden?

I know when I travel abroad I just take and use my normal cards without a problem.
And most of that is then stuff you can throw away because it's not pre-training your brain; and the stuff that does, while we don't know the full mechanism, we know it works through the laws of physics.

Knowing the weights without knowing the full graph of the model they're used in, just the endpoints.

There's a lot of valid stuff in what you say, I am aware I'm glossing over a lot of challenges to get a copy of a human — to what extent is e.g. the microbiome even contributing to our intelligence, vs. being several hundred different parasites that share a lot of DNA with each other and which happen to accidentally also sometimes give us useful extras? It's hard work telling which is which — but my claim is that the nature and scope of such work itself still allows us to say, as per one of the parent comments:

> I think it's important to remember that we know neural networks can be trained to a very useful state from scratch for 24 GJ: This is 25 W for 30 years (or 7000 kWh, or a good half ton of diesel fuel), which is what a human brain consumes until adulthood.

If this were a 100m sprint, then I would agree with you essentially saying that we don't even know which country the starting blocks are in, but I am still saying that despite that we know the destination can be reached from the starting blocks in 10 seconds.
No because we aren't reliant on a model of atmospheric CO2 concentration. We directly measure it.
From that site’s own info page: “The DB-Engines Ranking does not measure the number of installations of the systems, or their use within IT systems.”

Their methodology, even as stated, seems to be pretty flawed.
They say it would take a forest the size of New Mexico "to account for one year of American emissions" - given that trees both process CO2 during respiration and act as sinks when they grow, I can't tell if they'd be able to offset those emissions the next year as well or if we'd need a new forest.
Agree, container tabs are the killer app
On my work laptop I use Chrome. There are a couple of things I sorely miss from Firefox

* The omnibar: I have a couple IPs I connect to frequently. One ends in 36, the other in 243. In Firefox I can just type 36 (or 243) + Tab + Enter. In Chrome I have to type the whole address. And why can't I search for the title of a page I know is in my history or even just a tab I already have opened directly from the search bar? I do that all the time in Firefox

* Ctrl+Tab to switch back and forth between tabs instead of cycling them in order (not the default in Firefox either, but at least it can be configured without having to install an extension and a native executable as I had to do in Chrome)
When you've read up on some philosophy, it can get very complicated, see e.g. the trolley problem.
Valid conversation to figure who is/could be left out of a cashless society. It is better to handle the minority of edge cases than to keep cash around. There should be a system for the unhoused and migrants to be able to sign up for cashless payments rather than keeping cash around just for those few cases.
I find Safari on iOS to be nice, and Safari on macOS to be horrifically slow and inadequate, even on the newest M-series processors. It's like two different worlds, you can really tell that all of the engineering time is going into iOS because that's where all the money is at.
It says Khalsa Aid USA provided the resources
I beg your pardon(s), respectfully I think you are all wrong.
I think cashless, in the sense of "all money is digital", is probably a net bad thing. Remember, there are governments and organizations today that don't believe in basic freedoms: one could, for example, know if someone gets an abortion by looking at their payments history. The privacy cash provides is important for society as a whole.

On the other hand, I think a lot of this "cashless" debate can be fixed by mandating any merchant of goods or services to accept cash. Parking meters, brick-and-mortar stores, etc. have all been accepting cash for a long time, so it's a solved problem.

Yes, the Nature Conservancy is a large nonprofit that buys lands to hold in its natural state, albeit not at the scale needed to offset industrial activities. They tend to focus more on qualities like undisturbed ecosystems, or biodiversity, than climate change.

And in the U.S. at least, many states have a concept of a conservation easement where you get a tax advantage by promising not to disturb or develop land you own. This is used by some wealthy individuals to lock up a bunch of land undisturbed. But again, so far it is not remotely close to offsetting the overall human behaviors that are forcing warming. (As evidenced by the directly measured rising CO2 levels and temperature anomalies.)
It’s also laziness in software development practices. Developers (still) only develop and test with Chrome. My last job a bunch of us used Firefox as our main browser, which was hugely helpful.

As recently as yesterday I ran into an e-commerce site that didn’t work in Firefox (CPC Farnell, I’m looking at you), giving some obscure security error in multiple languages. I thought it might be caused by an extension at first (e.g., uBlock Origin) but, after trying various workarounds, I realised the site would only work in Chrome. It’s not OK.
Every tech like this has unforeseen consequences. And they could be worse than the original problem.
I would say no. We still have data on our year to year/decade to decade C02 in the atmosphere. So we can track how quickly it's rising. Those data points would already include any error we have in how much C02 is absorbed or created.
Which is indirectly pegged to open-market prices. There's also some encouraging of a view of public housing as an appreciating asset. Insufficient new housing supply due to Covid, combined with these policies, has seemingly led to ongoing runaway (resale) public housing prices: a whopping 40%+ price increase over 2020 Q3 - 2024 Q4: https://www.hdb.gov.sg/-/media/HDBContent/Images/EAPG/EAPG-C.... A 40% average increase in (resale) public housing prices over 4 years is eye-watering.

Non-homeowners' wealth is getting inflated away by the rises, which is going to make it harder for younger people to have kids.

When I proposed something similar for Ruby, I was laughed at. May be people thought I wanted Ruby to have A.I libraries like Scikit-Learn or Pytorch.
Lots of smaller cafes or people running various stall style businesses only accept Swish, especially out the in more rural areas. I've been to a couple of smaller festivals where the only way to pay for a ticket at the 'door' was with Swish.

> What doesn't work with YouTube on Firefox?

The performance is way worse (which Google engineers will explain by some browser API being slower in Firefox and they haven't yet had time to optimize it, N years later [they did the same with Inbox + Firefox before]) and you'll also see more ads if you're not a paying user and using Firefox compared to if you used Google Chrome.
If you're living abroad and visiting you'd probably already have a debit card, no need to open a new one for a visit. This is only relevant for Swish because it's not something someone living outside of Sweden would likely already have.

I think you underestimate the work it takes to maintain and more importantly grow such a large open source project. If wp engine can barely contribute today, what are the chances they want to take on the whole thing. Nope they just want to get rich off open source. That's understandable , they are a for profit after all. But at what point does it make sense to give back in terms of either money or time to make improvements to the ecosystem that you depend on.

I agree with Matt's ideals but not the actions. The reality is theres not a whole lot he can do without looking like spoilt kid taking his ball away from the game.
Have you tried a clean install of firefox? A separate profile even. A lot of people switching to another browser and finding it much more performant/stable is just them starting with a default browser with minimal addons.
