I just had an antibiotic prescription denied because my insurance company thought I had a refill in 5 days, despite the last time I was prescribed it was as a one-off course, 8 years, and 3 insurance companies ago.

express scripts is evil.

I don't understand why so many protocols that expect to handle large amounts of data don't default to a binary schema. JSON is fine on the edges, but the wire format between nodes is not the edge.

I assume it’s mostly because it’s way easier to debug json over websockets and http with browser devtools instead of custom protocols.

Custom protocol would be binary.

They could make a custom extension but it wouldn’t be that easy.

I worked on browser devtools for IE and edge.

Even chrome/vscode use jsonrpc over websockets for ease of development.


How is this "Arc boost" system not just a more limited ad-hoc version of what WebExtensions already provide?

At least some individuals can have a conscience even if the system tends to iron that out at scale.

I don't see why people lose their minds about the "tomfoolery". It's very clear what the Qt company wants, and how that's good for everyone. If you want to use Qt, you have to support the free software movement either directly (by making your code foss) or indirectly (by paying for the non-LGPL use and supporting Qt).

> If you want to use Qt, you have to support the free software movement either directly (by making your code foss)

That's the problem. No matter how many times Digia threatens you, the LGPL does not require you to make your code open source.

You're either confusing the L and non L GPL licenses, or you remember the situation from before Nokia bought Qt. Trolltech Qt was indeed GPL (without the L) plus commercial and what you said would have applied. However, it does not apply now.


> LinkedIn is pretty important nowadays when searching for work.

This is only true if people repeat it and believe it to be true.


Ok. So if you’re locked out of linkedin, now all you need to do is change the hundreds of thousands of other LinkedIn users to change their mindset instead of pleading with LinkedIn themselves to restore your access.

>This is only true if people repeat it and believe it to be true.

Which they do.

Particularly, employers.


Well, you can think about it like a filter for bad jobs : as a hacker, why would you want to work for an employer that uses a Microsoft platform ?

>bad jobs

>Microsoft platform

Are you 13, and living in the year 1999?

>as a hacker, why would you want to work for an employer that uses a Microsoft platform ?

Because I want to work in organizations like NASA.

Out in the real world, people care about what gets things done more than what the FOSS community thinks about that choice.

And recruiters will use whatever platform that will allow them to find the right people.

Your definition of "bad jobs" excludes any job that matters (or pays).


For simple key derivation no, just the one pubkey. However most crypto wallets use a "hierarchical derivation" [1] scheme.

If you look at share price sure. But if only they could actually build their cars to meet demand and not have them constantly fall apart.

I hear endlessly how bad Teslas are from anonymous internet people who don't own them and the exact opposite from everyone I know IRL who does.

My girlfriend owns a model Y and I could write a long list of reasons why they are poorly built and a nightmare to get serviced.

To be fair your anonymous and that comment is on the internet

not anyonymous, that’s Matt Maroon

Ha, I have had my real name as my screen name here for 17 years. Can’t be any less anonymous on the internet than that.

I should have investigated the profile more. Maybe he's faking it? Hah

You can see from the color of my name that I went through Y Combinator. If I’m faking, I was putting a lot of effort into it :)

We can’t, only other YC alums.

I owned a Tesla and could write a Master's dissertation on it. Interestingly, me buying the Tesla car was my life's shittiest investment but the Tesla shares I bought around that time (mid 2019) were my best investment.

I drove a Volvo after that, until landing in a very dangerous accident recently (the Volvo literally saved my life). Now I'm driving a rental Honda (which was my starter car on which I learnt to drive). Both beat Tesla by a mile.


Yeah Volvo is great at safety. And reliability too. I owned a 10 year old one that cost me a couple thousand, drove it for years without notable maintenance except the usual oil change and it kept going <3

So much better than my Skoda where half the dashboard fell apart and the gearbox suddenly just "crashed"

If I ever own a car again it'll be a Volvo :) won't be an EV for sure because I always buy old cars, i just hate spending a lot on a car. It's not important in my life and the past 6 years I haven't even owned one and rented one only once.

Ps totally anecdotal evidence obviously


> Both beat Tesla by a mile.

Pray what's that mean?


In my experience driving them. I like manual buttons and safety. Granted, the Tesla was the first car I bought and it was an amazing car in and of itself, but the ICE experience was far better. The software side sucks (I don't know why people keep praising Tesla for it).

Hey look, Hyperbole. Fun!

I wonder if you could fix this specific case by keeping track of the last game version to be interpreted this way and using that when querying for `Infinity`. That wouldn't be a platonically correct solution but it should work no?
