It's really useful, but it's dynamic. You need tests that actually trigger the UB to make it useful.

They did it in Zermatt as well (because apparently the mayor is a crypto fan), and no one used it. Also the city doesn't actually receive Bitcoin, they use an intermediary that gives them Swiss Francs.

It's something I don't really understand, doesn't Lightning scale by bypassing what makes bitcoin what it is: the proof of work and no trust system? It seems with Lightning you are back to having to check every transaction, a

If you're a foreigner you would probably be tripped by the post code/address. I certainly was when the petrol station asked for my post code in the US! (My card postcode does not fit the US format.)

Both. An example which is impacting my company is that the factory that makes 80% of the world's TCXOs burned down a few months ago in Japan.

I think it mainly depends on your target audience. The reality is that, the first time they saw Map<K,V>, everyone had to stop and think about what it was. Then after the first time or two it's immediately clear. Same with i for

But someone, ultimately, must be able to. You can't exchange your 1% of shares against 1% of the company assets, unless you have enough share to control the company. Let's take Facebook, where I think Mark Zuckerberg has ~60% of t

I don't think it ultimately gives inherent value to the stock, because you don't extract value from the company with this mechanism, but from others. Let's take a planet in another galaxy. I would argue the inherent economic

A stock has value if someone ultimately can extract value from it. As far as I know, there are only 2 ways, dividend and gaining control of the assets. A stock where neither of both are possible ever (now and in the future) has no fundament

It is, as far as I know, an unprecedented event with potentially far reaching consequences, not matter how it ends up. A huge market manipulation by a massive amount of retail traders, enabled by Robinhood and similar brokers, that has the

I thought about it, but honestly it took a lot of time and energy out of me already, I just don't want to deal with them again. I just won't ever do business with them again, and I tell my story from time to time to people that as

Well at least you can cancel by phone. I was moving out and wanted to cancel my internet subscription last year. Months in advance, I went to their website and located (with difficulty!) their cancellation page. There was either a form onli

That's a nice story, but it worked because of regulations and because the other website took minutes to render a page. That makes it hard to quantify whether accessibility was a significant factor in people using your site. But thank y

I have to admit I'm missing something in this story. If the shorts do not have to sell, what's the endgame for WSB? Is it just the margin requirements will be too high, thus forcing lots of them to close their position? I see lots

Is it a new position or are you replacing someone? If the former, are there other people being hired and what's the plan for onboarding all those people. If the latter, what's the churn rate. It doesn't necessarily raise a re

Do you have an example (outside of a niche, like a site catering specifically to some disability) of the economic argument working? Because the obvious economic counter argument is that while you work on accessibility your competitors work

Does this number includes mobile browsers? Given the big mobile browsers do not have adblockers (or even extensions altogether?), that would explain it.

I think there was a lot of miscommunication/misinformation shared around. Honestly, even now I'm not entirely sure what the whole thing entails. It's a change of policy that was already in effect, but you have to accept it no

I don't know if the technical constraints are more real, just different. When you start interacting with hardware, a lot of easy stuff can become more difficult (testing, deployment, debugging, ...) and some difficult stuff becomes eas

I think his point was that in Europe, most deforestation happened much earlier than the industrial revolution, and he wanted to clear the relatively common misconception that everything was green until the industrial revolution.

(c) because they provide features requested by developers/users. Compare modern JS to JS from 10 years ago, it's pretty clear Google is not the only one benefitting from the new standards.

I was surprised as well, but we could reproduce it. Delete would not work, "normal" cut and paste would throw an error when pasting, but cut and switch off power -> file was gone.

It only works if you control the deployment (like in a webapp). Try pushing firmware updates to non-internet connected devices every day or week, and you will see a lot of customer backlash.

Another tangentially linked anecdote. We had build artefacts stored on a Samba shared drive, that were write protected, since some people regularly used to move them instead of copying them. Then one day, the latest build was gone again. We

I have seen two software examples first hand. Usually it's because a feature can have much more value at a very specific date. The first one was a feature for one of the minor verticals of the company product. Basically, something that

There was some discussions here recently about this, and from memory the answer was nothing, except reputation. They're free to do whatever they please with it, though jacking the price suddenly might not be great business long term.

Yes, I meant everyone in the Apple ecosystem: developers and users alike. Some will be left behind, most will transition, and I'm sure Apple is hoping some premium Windows/Linux users will be converted by the incredible efficiency

They use those "obscure __identifiers__" because they are reserved by the standard and thus a conforming program will not define macros with those values and break everything.
