I would not call it a problem with capitalism, I would call it capitalism's greatests feature. A free enterprise system ensures that resources are used to create the greatest value for consumers. If firms did not need to seek a profit,

Customer friction at checkout. The more difficult a merchant makes the checkout process the more likely customers are to abandon the checkout. Some of those abandoned checkouts are fraudsters, but other are legitimate customers who don&#x27

Really surpising to me that compilers don't support a feature like this. Anybody know why?

I would put WEI together with a together with a number of other recent changes that I think signal that the land grab error of the web is over, and that web based businesses need to get real about their economics. 1) Netflix restricting pas

Interesting how much earlier the UK industrialized compared to continental Europe. I would not have expected such a large gap.

What I have heard is that the banks that own Zelle will try to convert it into a directory service mapping identifiers like email addresses and mobile numbers to bank account information. The actual payment clearing will move off of Zelle,

The Clearing House and the Fed both operate ACH networks, and they inter operate. I expect that we will get a similar outcome in instant payments.

I believe the service providers are offering services to banks.

When you give someone a physical check, you are giving them your bank account info. It is written on the bottom of every check.

There are already other options for instant payments in the US. The Zelle network and The Clearings House's RTP have been running for several years, and provide pretty good account reachability today. FedNow is the result of smaller ba

Shameless plug, but Moov offers a single API for payments. The clearing house's RTP system will be supported shortly, and FedNow is coming soon after. Check out out here: https://moov.io/

What Rocky is giving the community is a check on Red Hat's ability to charge nearly anything they want to for RHEL. That is worth quite a bit.

Interesting. I wrote almost the same code for work a couple of weeks ago. Not sore, but it looks like the Transition function has a race condition. It calls CanTansition() before acquiring the mutex lock. I think this could lead to illegal

I would say that ORM's are an anti-pattern.

I have seen way too much of interfaces implemented once in Java, and have argued against it unsuccessfully many times. I am not working in Go, and see the same.

I guess I don't see C as programming language for writing scripts in either. In my view any language that requires a separate complication step is not a scripting language, and therefore not a language in which one writes scripts. In C

I am truly puzzled by this. I understood Zig to be a very low level language like 'C'. Why would you write scripts in it?

Disagree there. I think that international wires are probably the most complicated.

A better description would be "Card Payments 101 for a Developer". There is more to payments than just cards.

Before the CCP existed, Taiwan was part of China, and was occupied for many years by Japan. After the Chinese civil war and the rise of the CCP, the defeated nationalist government moved to Taiwan. It is only then that any US alliance with

The argument is that the software developers are producing an asset (the software) that will produce revenue over time. There is an accounting principal to match revenue with expenses, so if the software will produce revenue in the future,

I thought this was going to be about program performance and how to reduce the impact of interrupts and context switching on performance in your software. How disappointing.

Product description says: a HTTP reverse proxy built in Rust, that can handle fine grained configuration changes at runtime without reloads, and designed to never ever stop. How is that immutable? Sounds like it is highly mutable by design.

I see. That makes sense. So maybe it is generics that are so fundamental that they need to be part of any language. Seems that Java, C#, and Go have all learned this lesson.

I am new to go, but to me, the language looks bigger than it needs to be. Why do slices and maps need to be part of the language and not just part of a standard library? I suppose the reason is special syntax, but having to learn that speci

I think that most other people would as well. Unfortunately, there are enough people willing to take advantage of that good will that you are a fool if you are not somewhat suspicious.

What surprised me most about the story is that despite a very unusual pattern of transactions for a business banking account at a local branch, the OP only received occasional calls from the local branch banker. I would have expected at lea

I believe that SVB and Signature have total depositor liabilities of 300B. They also have assets that are worth a significant portion of that. Only the difference needs to be covered by the FDIC assessment. Depending on what happens in betw

I agree that the lessons learned is weak. The solution to a systemic failure like this can not be that everyone involved should try harder and be more careful. A solution is needed that addresses the weakness of the system. How about a solu
