I’ve never been to China, but it appears numbers are chosen over letters for ease of memorization, and are not always random digits: https://gizmodo.com/why-do-chinese-urls-use-numbers-not-lett...

What’s the general “hit rate” of date commitments? Do 100% of announcements go live by the specified date?

Nice touch that deleting letters descends chromatically. Letters typed appear unrelated to notes generated, you can type the same letter and it will keep generating different notes. Also, it seems it will never resolve to the root, no matte

Regarding statement freshness, derefr already answered. Regarding username/password, in Brazil at least yes (sort of) - you log in with account number and a password, but it's sort of a "read-only password" - you can see

Yes, but a DB of "transaction notifications" your bank sent you could still be useful so you can reconcile/debug if needed, much like the actual bank statement. I do agree that the DB could be removed from the system, adding

It does, but it also keeps YNAB more in sync with your bank account, since transactions will typically take a couple days to show up in the statement.

Not OP, but there's not much to do about them - best way is to enter manually in the app at the time of purchase or write them down in a notebook and enter them in batch once in a couple days or per week. If your cash spending is suffi

Of course OP was being rethorical, but I disagree that public outcry was necessarily the most likely cause. It could have had less influence than the massive amount of private paying customers feedback they undoubtedly received.

No - OP meant computationally expensive, not cognitively expensive. Two nested for-loops can be O(nˆ2) but can have a cyclomatic complexity as low as 1.

What’s the practical difference between having an internal microservice which handles subscriptions/charging and using Stripe, for example?
42.
by ralmeida 7y ago
When this happens, it’s usually meant as a RPC endpoint, yes. However, it can be an abstraction, especially if you call it “POST /my-account/charges”, in plural form: you’re sending a new object to the “charges” resource (this a

I don't mean to read minds here, but the only way I was able to parse your message is that "something" refers to suffering, and it seems you're implying that suffering exists and is common, but is not necessarily an impo

I’m not sure I follow - what do you mean?

I believe parent comment meant that if all humans were to somehow stop existing at once, there would be no humans suffering.

It's a good thing you are reconsidering the approach, but I don't see how this is related to this "title subthread". At the time this subthread started, the title was "Gitlab mandating third-party telemetry, locks

It's a non-original title, but Wiktionary for example lists "presenting an opinion as fact" as a necessary requirement to call something "editorialized": https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/editori

Well, I guess that would be open to interpretation - I don't get from the sentence that the "very specific circumstances" refer exclusively to the paragraphs above. Otherwise, they would have written "outside the circum

I totally get where you're coming from, but the full sentence is: > Otherwise [outside a set of very specific circumstances], please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize. I'm not

by ralmeida 7y ago
Not sure this would be fully editorializing, since the updated title (currently "Gitlab mandating third-party telemetry, locks out user access until accepted") is objectively factual and true.

Absolutely. If A and B are significantly correlated, either A causes B, or B causes A or X causes both. The article itself, citing the study, presents some possible mechanisms through which such a reduction could be explained.

Strider (strider.ag), where I work at, is a segment leader in Latin America, and FarmShots (YC alumn) (farmshots.com) and Cropio (about.cropio.com) are some other examples.

To be fair, the cited displacement of 8 ft (average for non-earthquake situations is 0 to 10cm) is within the typical margin of error of a GPS. That is, the coordinate change is small enough not to matter for “election” purposes.

Yes - another way to look at it is that liquid cash in company's bank accounts is an asset of the company and the company valuation "includes" it.

After you're set on the general product you are building, that's fine. But consider you're trying to decide whether to build product A or B for deadline X. Which one has the largest probablity of finishing on time? I'm n

That's absolutely fine and a good way to work. However, I do still believe that plain old estimation has its place. Consider that you are part of a bunch of executives deciding in January whether to build a product A, which would have

I understand that sometimes a project 'takes as long as it takes', but how does one deal with extrinsic deadlines then? For example, software that needs to be 'on the shelves' by the next Black Friday, or the next tax re

Nowhere in the post says the streamer was suicidal . It says they were depressed . Even if it did, the suicidal person themselves thinking suicide is selfish is a totally different thing than someone else saying it to them, especial
