This is a little skewed based on my understanding. What actually happened to precipitate this was some European countries intentionally attempting to destabilize the dollar, gold having been pegged to a specific dollar amount. Obviously (to

The premise here is correct only as far as it is true that anyone besides the US possesses the capacity to act. Beyond that point, it is no longer charitable to frame it that way.

The main difference is that nap works off of YAML. You can get an idea of how it works by clicking on "The Basics"[0] on the left-hand side of the page. [0] https://naprun.dev/the-basics/

I took a lot of inspiration from this project when designing my own HTTP testing tool[0]. We needed to be able to run hundreds of tests quickly, and in parallel. If that is something you need and you like Hurl, then you might like Nap also.

WhatsApp is already banned in Iran. It's difficult to see this as anything but another attempt by them to gain control over private communications involving their own people. To me, the most interesting thing about this conflict is the

These are ok points. Though I don't think it's necessary to use tables to be accessible, for example. It's perfectly fine to use whatever you want, so long as you include the proper semantics/ARIA tags to help the screen

Yeah, it’s just that Googl€, A₽₽le, etc. have all caught up with them. If they’re all the same then there’s less of a need to differentiate anymore.

If you know of a reliable way to do this then you should go sell it right now, because nobody in tech has figured this out yet.

That is a lot of subgraphs. Am I understanding correctly then that under UDA developers fulfill the UDA spec in whatever language they’re using, and then there’s some kind of middleware that will handle serving GraphQL queries? How are muta

According to my wife’s surgeon (she had endometriosis removed in 2008) there is some belief that the condition can actually cause the womb to become less hospitable to egg development, i.e. the fluids en utero actually weaken the health of

Not to mention the burning creates a lot more scar tissue, which greatly impacts future reproductive prospects depending on where the burning is taking place…

I totally agree. Especially with Fusion it’s very easy to establish core types in self-contained subgraphs and then extend those types in domain-specific subgraphs. IMO the hardest part about this approach is just namespacing all the things

I wonder how they deal with versioning or breaking changes to the model. One advantage of keeping things more segregated is that when you decide to change a model you can do it in much smaller pieces. I guess in their world they’d add a new

Not sure if the article mentioned it (writing style was getting on my nerves about half way through), but endometriosis is also highly hereditary. My wife’s mother has 2 sisters. One sister had endometriosis and the other two had daughters

No, you’re right. Though I think there’s definitely a gap between standards bodies like NIST and the AICPA or whoever sets the SOC2 standards these days. I think some of the answer is just momentum. Customers have come to expect it of their

Customers need to ask for these changes, which is why this is hard to solve. At least in my field, many of the measures we end up having to fall in line with are the result of our customers deciding that those who bid on their contracts mus

The people who need to read these articles are the auditors. Until they change their expectations, the many businesses who have to pass audits are still going to be stuck doing a lot of things that are industry-standard but also very stupid

IANAL, but the language of the bill seems to suggest GP was indeed correct: https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/7024... It seems they're going back to the system where one could choos

You're not actually wrong. Reversing it would have immediate and far-reaching benefits for large companies. I suspect many of those would respond by going on hiring sprees. And also, reversing it would encourage more people to start so

And the changes proposed in the Big Beautiful Bill actually do reverse it, and allow some retro-active (to tax year 2022) relief. So they're trying to undo it, and of course the Democratic party is calling it "a tax break for bill

I think if you spend a few minutes reading about the origin of this change, it's pretty obvious this was a sacrificial lamb for the TCJA to pass. It gave them ~5 years of noticeable extra tax revenue they could use to balance the other

by twodave 1y ago
Yes, as far as I can tell, this change was made to help balance the cost of other provisions in the TCJA. On paper, it would have at least let them claim they'd take in 5 years of extra tax revenue in from tech businesses (most of it i

I am not sure I understand how amortizing these expenses benefits the government at all, as it is. I won't speak to the methods the government is using to value software, because others have made those points better than I could. First

The answer, I believe, is that we are unique among all other creatures in that we are not equipped to be able to master our own actions. We all do things we would say we ought not to have done. The whole concept of fairness is built around

I can’t imagine the Yuan being taken seriously as a reserve currency. Extreme differences in governing notwithstanding, is the Yuan even viable without the US dollar? The Euro could make some sense, but in order to become a reserve currency

What the author is describing isn’t my experience at all. I tend to operate from a lens of asking for increased feedback as my work takes me further off the “beaten path”. There’s essentially zero chance I’m going to go off screwing around

Unions make it harder because you actually have to document the poor performance in order to show you’re complying with the rules. It effectively makes the cost of firing (and thus, hiring) higher.

What currency could replace the dollar? I’m not going to pretend I like the idea of trying to hold the world hostage to get more favorable terms for the US, but that is what is happening (as far as the mechanics of economics will allow, at
