Barely-related, but I love the .cafe TLD, I own two of them myself. I know the new TLDs were kinda an unpopular move but honestly some of them do lend a certain connotation to your website/product, since your domain is frequently a key

Because projects are seldom as simple as that, potentially having lots of other kinds of dependencies (a directory structure, system libraries/command, symlinks, other services running, etc). And let's be honest, virtualenvs and a

My last 2 laptops: T440s and an XPS 13 (9310) have both not had this issue, and that accounts for about the last 6 years of linux laptop usage for me. Several crummy laptops (the 300-700 dollar range at best buy) prior to that have had it,

I had fun. These are a great, gentle intro to powerful tools. One recommendation: Add a "What?" accordion entry that just states in plain speech what exactly you want done, without giving away the how. For a few of these I read th

My take is that there's only a very specific kind of company where on-prem vs cloud is primarily a cost-driven decision. "Cloud" providers are so much more than just the hardware. There are probably a lot of AWS customers who

A $5 DigitalOcean droplet/VPS. There's so much packed in there. A public, static IP and just enough RAM and disk to do anything you could possibly want to. And the relatively low RAM and disk limits does make you think about memor

I do think alcohol is qualitatively different in how easy is it to make, though. For MJ you need specific seeds, which you can't just buy at target. Whereas with a google search and a quick trip to the grocery store you're better

I think an extremely large percentage of America would disagree with you, though. The puritan work ethic is absolutely the backbone of society for a lot of americans.

I have a long history with Swing and as painful as it is to use sometimes (e.g. "There are Swing developers with low pain tolerances?") it's astonishing how productive Swing feels compared to React even so many years late

Linux with a few blobs is still light-years better for your freedom than osx or windows. Plus, from a platform perspective, software built on windows or osx is categorically not free (in the strictest sense - even if the software is gpl, if

Hmm I haven't done anything rigorous but a few staples I know the price of off-hand are the same at least, but maybe they're being sneaky. I'll look more closely. Thanks for the tip! FWIW though I do mainly use instacart, sin

I'm really in the same boat. Grocery delivery is a bit less insane (tip + fee = ~13% premium) because your average order size is bigger (at least for me - I usually do 200ish bucks every 1.5-2.0 weeks). I can stomach a 13% premium for

"families with children skew lower income" Is this because lower income -> more kids, or is it binary, and lower income -> higher probability of has_kids=true?

I bought a new construction (I wasn't specifically looking for a new construction so it was already done when I got to it) and was really disappointed to see that: - no conduit in the walls - no ethernet in the walls - coax to every ro

I used to live in a Google Fiber city, but had to move away. I yearn desperately and dearly for google fiber (or a similarly interests-aligned ISP) to come to my new city. Unfortunately I moved out of a city metro area and am now in a small

And headache. If there's fraud in your debit account, it's a big problem for you because the USD that got stolen were yours. That's less money you can now write a check for. Versus with a credit card, the money that got spent

This is my experience as well. Incidentally "this is a problem of people, not language" is one of my pet peeve statements (not that I'm mad at you, of course!) specifically because I've had it used against me enough to d

I'm the same way. The wires don't really seem to ever get crossed for me. When I'm using intelliJ, I honestly find that I'm not really typing all that much. I'm either reading/navigating code (and therefore ctr

What exactly could they do to determine you are lying?

Worth noting that credit card processors do take on credit risk, which for "normal people" is, sure, basically negligible. But black swan events (covid, for example) and fraud attacks (card cashers etc etc) are major issues. This

Yeah absolutely. There's money to be made across the spectrum of fast and smart. My experience is just way on the left side, where the special sauce is only barely statistics-y but extremely technical (both from a software/hardwar

I think I actually saw these folks present at JavaOne a couple years ago? Either that or there's more than one shop branding itself as "HFT" that uses Java. I worked in the industry and it's always a little funny to see

I have a signed copy of this. I love it. Free Software, Free Society was maybe the most important book I read in college. I wish RMS didn't have the issues around women that he does, but I immensely venerate his thinking on software fr

One of the main things that makes me think Google is a harmful monopoly is how they cancel products just for not going to the moon. It's like search+ads is such a dang money printer that they just churn products over and over looking f

I always thought the main issue with a moon base is that the cost of rocket launches and fuel will be << the cost of maintaining a moon base, especially when the only way to get stuff on the moon is to fly it there, too. What would re

FWIW, World of Warcraft has had a sublime 2FA solution for like a decade at this point. So when schwab has 1) weird UX around logging in and 2) you have to contact customer support to enable something that should be standard security fu

Interesting. You seem to have to contact customer support to get it enabled. And to enter it, you ... append it to your password? I'm personally going to hold off on giving them the greenlight here.

it's email/sms/phone-based. I consider "real 2fa" to be authenticator-based. Not vulnerable to SIM hijacking. The email one has different problems (what if my email's hacked too?)

I will add: one thing I don't like about schwab is their password/account security. They don't offer real 2FA, for instance.

Charles Schwab has native english speaker support just a phone call away (with no waiting in the handful of times I've used them, so far). And they were the first of the non-robinhood retail brokerages to break rank and offer 0-commiss
