I’m confused… There are no rows in the table for proprietary software that hasn’t been OSA’d, and the rows that are there take no head of market size or adoption rates of the alternative. Therefore the chart can only possibly trend downward

I’ve wanted such an app for years. Ideally with a slider showing stages of growth, watering schedules, generating optimal planting patterns and figuring out plant counts. Of course one-click ordering wouldn’t hurt, but I like to imagine you

Yeah it’s a bug for sure. ‘Loan service processor’ got shortened to ‘loan servicer’ which definitely steps on the toes of ‘debt service’. Someone should open a ticket.

We need a method for allocation of scarce resources. If it’s not money, it’s either a random lottery, or it’s based on some allocation function like a performance assessment. I would not expect to see allocation of government funded admiss

I think a lot of people are debating the giveaway itself without reading the article about abusing the PSLF regime using LRAPs. So aside from the giveaway, Biden’s EO has also sweetened the deal on the public service loan forgiveness progra

“Loan servicing” means the work of sending out statements, collecting payments, answering the help desk, tracking the accumulated interest, filing the tax forms, etc.

It probably can’t happen without congress. But can you even imagine the shitshow when half a trillion in debt that was wiped out somehow has to be put back on the books?!

If this tree had a secret to cultivating a resistant strain that would be very awesome. Is there a good app which lets you input your zip code, maybe also sun exposure and soil conditions, how many feet of width and height you have availabl

Correct me if I’m wrong, but a decade ago Intel would probably have said their fab/process node was their moat? I know nothing about chip design, but like most things, I feel like one exceptionally brilliant tech lead surrounded by a g

100% agree. Maybe the specific layout of a QWERTY keyboard is somehow particularly bad for this, but jabbing at the general location of the letters I want combined with a half decent AI should make text entry really damn reliable. Even just

And the operating system too, so they can fully leverage all the special features on the chip to improve UX. Once you have critical mass being able to have enough experienced engineers up and down the whole stack, and you’ve figured out an

That’s not fair. Some people care about different things than you do. I think op’s description is more aligned with the broader market, but that’s just, like, my opinion.

If WW3 goes hot beyond the regional proxies, we all lose pretty hard. A new iPhone 14 or Mac M2 will be a pipe that we all chuckle about how we used to care about such things.

I find automatic transmissions absolutely infuriating for all of those exact same reasons. Except that I drove an auto for all but my first 3 years and last 3 years of driving. Now I drive a Tesla and the janky auto transmissions and lag in

Simple: Because you add zero to the memory address of an array to access the first element. The array indexer was syntactic sugar for pointer arithmetic.

Pretty sure it was metadata that allowed the US to locate and strike Zawahiri in Kabul with a predator drone. So safe to say the US isn’t going to stop doing this any time soon.

No because a single person buying four eBikes doesn’t reduce emissions 4x as much as a single person buying one eBike?

It’s not really so clear cut. Perhaps if a 51% attack let you fully steal coins yes. But there are only specific things a 51% attacker can do, and even attempting to pull off the attack has game-theoretic impact on the price if Bitcoin. The

Not sure why this is downvoted. The preeminent economists of the age thought that this is exactly what would happen - everyone would be working 2-4 hours a week and there would be nothing left to be done because every hour would be so damn

If I am calculating it correctly... That’s what a 2.89% productivity increase every year for 200 years gets you!

I’m more and more convinced that they just never bothered to write the ban-hammer feature in a way that it is actually reversible. Probably the button simply doesn’t exist to undo the termination 30/60/90 days later. Good luck get

I don’t understand why it’s just a one time payment? If you’re doing a micro-startup, you need valuable tools and insight today . You don’t care about 12 months from now. You certainly don’t care about $99 twelve months from now… If it w

I doubt that 21st page actually exists, even on the back end. I would bet the top-line number of results is some sort of extrapolated estimation thing, a hand-wavey way to represent how deep the hypothetical result set is for that query.

This is the joy of static linking! In the end does anyone really care if it’s a 10MB tarball versus a 330kb tarball?

Markets do not demand continual growth forever. Simply being the most reliably profitable company quarter and quarter is perfectly fine. But the revenue streams of a company must evolve with the changing tides. For example, I like the idea

Thank you for the quick reply! I’m not a Supabase customer so apologies if the questions don’t make sense in your context. But I think it would help to understand if Supabase is fully managing key backup and recovery internally, how exactly

One thing I think missing from this write-up is to walk through how the Restore process will work with encrypted data under pgsodium. Namely what will happen when you first restore some data into a new Postgres instance which booted with it
