not the same dynamic. Now his guard is up and will probably plead the 5th and be behind a team of lawyers.

I didn't propose a conspiracy theory, just noticing suspicious, coincidental timing. Its was THE DAY BEFORE THE HEARING. A conspiracy theory would include why they wouldn't want him to talk (a la Esptein theories).

And its literally not "baseless" if you ask if its coincidental that he was arrested the day before he was supposed to testify, why not let the hearing come and go and if he was a no show then arrest him?

They are just questions.

Regardless, SBF was charged for conspiracy, fraud, collusion, etc. Why are any questions that would throw suspicion on other parties to the conspiracy immediately shut down?

They jumped the gun on SBF. Should have let him testify in congress. The timing makes it look like they didn’t want him to talk. May not be the case but it’s what it looks like.

TIL you can have custom themes on substack. My main (now voided) complaint with the platform was that you couldn’t stand out aesthetically.

He wasn’t raised in China nor does he currently live there, but he was literally born in China and is ethnically Chinese. He doesn’t “look” Chinese, he “is” Chinese.

did you pay for the dedicated IP address? My delivery was good with sendgrid after I payed the $80.

> you really have to stick with Microsoft, Google, AWS SES, or mayyyyybe FastMail

The left-field approach would be to build your own client on top of an email API like mailgun or sendgrid (excluding the free tiers). But those are expensive for a personal use-case.

Since they are making big moves toward US expansion, one small improvement would be to change the prices on the pricing page to show Dollars instead of Euros, either with a toggle or if my IP is in North America. It's more work for the customer to do price comparison with comparable cloud providers.

> they were super nice to me. its just that in retrospect i see how that was a tactic to exploit me

Omg. Then what isn’t exploitative?! There’s always a bit of a selfish motive in developing partnerships or friendships even.

This is next level victimization.

You’re right though. My 44” monitor for my living room was $550, but that only seems expensive compared to the ad-subsidized smart TVs.

I replaced my TV with a large monitor and a mac mini. My remote is a wireless apple mouse and keyboard which we leave on a cutting board on the couch.

The benefit of streaming shows in a browser is that I can slow down all shows for my kids to 85% so they are slightly less stimulating and i NEVER get ads.

The computer also serves as a hub for music, it’s connected to some wireless speakers we can move to another room when playing music.

same. I got it up to 8 by clicking into the address bar and hitting enter. However, doing a refresh instead caused it to reset (the browser didn't send the if-modified-since header so the server didn't do it's little trick and instead started over)

From the handful of RISC-V posts on HN over the years I'm surprised to learn that RISC-V is still so nascent—to the point that simply hosting a webpage on top of it is bleeding edge.

Is it being used for anything yet or is it mostly still in early development? Excuse my naivety, still excited for the tech. Great to see this progress regardless.

Edit: and the song on the site, sounds like Dominican Bachata, like Anthony Santos or something.

> using people

You mean violence. Physical force. In that context, the means is irrelevant and pedantic.

Same goes in reverse. The govt/debtors should connect with ex-employees/investors and get them to try and gossip, commiserate, provide black-hat advice, etc with existing employees in DMs and proxy any discoveries to the govt/debtors in exchange for a "consulting fee".

Seconded. My kids have been in Waldorf for a couple years. I plan on keeping them in Waldorf and when they’re older maybe supplementing with extracurricular math (like Russian school of math) since Waldorf excels more in creativity, imagination, and mindfulness but weaker in STEM (but still present). But that seems like the right priority for elementary aged children.

> No, there's no world in which he is

Sure there is.

The scenario where he escape with a suitcase of gold to a country without extradition.

Or another scenario would be if he had serious blackmail on several key govt officials.

I use a lowercase “L” and “LST” (in lowercase) for variables representing lists in function args.

For me the lower L and the number 1 have to be different. Most mono fonts make them almost identical.

Typing “lst” looks like 1st (First). They either need to curve the bottom of the lowercase “L” or remove the bottom bar of the one.

That is removing an item at N index, right? (that's why it talking about iterators?) Linked lists are only fast at append/pop with the first node.

> a lot of people who ride motorcycles care more about [...] aesthetics than [...] safety

true, I ride with a traffic vest[1] on (which hides my expensive leather jacket!) and I'm probably deducted 40% in coolness points, but i figure I'm able to compound the little coolness points I get over a longer period. I wouldn't have done it in my 20s but now I am in my 30s and have kids so safety is more important.

I've definitely noticed more people rotate their head to look at me since I've started wearing it.

> more connected to my culture as I am more aware of holidays and other traditions that were lost when the Gregorian calendar took over.

Didn’t every culture basically use a lunar calendar before the Gregorian calendar? I remember reading that the oldest lunar calendar was found in Scotland or something.

Totally relate to your comments about being closer to nature when being aware of the moon cycle. It’s like we’re living in a clock and we’re using the gears to keep time instead of the hour hand.

makes me wish more of pre-Christian European culture had persisted.

> And language "branding"? What are we talking about here?

“Branding Power” would be where given the choice between two products, the customer will choose the more expensive (or equally priced) product based solely on perception of brand quality or other brand characteristics. Think buying store brand vs buying name brand, an expensive name brand electronic item vs a cheap knock-off from a no-name Chinese manufacturer (the Chinese one might actually be better but that’s the point).

So not just a logo or cute drawings. It’s part of a more holistic experience, but especially the perception which is where logos and the like come into play. We engineers can stomp our feet but those are the rules of the game.

I REALLY want to use a native ML language[1] but they all seem to be catered towards academics.

If you want success within companies and not universities, then you need to treat the language as a product, serve the customer by investing time into documentation, guides, and branding just like with any product. I say this as a fan of ML languages, posts that complain about another language (OCaml) being more popular even though it is an inferior doesn't get new users.

[1]: I currently use F# daily but would be happy to switch to a variant of SML if it made sense.

IMO it feels like there were some ambitious directors/writers but they lacked the experience or talent. RoP and House of the Dragon are night and day in terms of the “art of storytelling”.

What? REST is just some API philosophy, its doesn't even have to be on top of HTTP.

Why would you think HTTP status codes are made for REST? They are made for HTTP to describe the response of the resource you are requesting, and the AWS API uses HTTP so it makes sense to use HTTP status codes.

Does anyone know if it’s possible to run multiple instances of an app via systemd that all listen on the same port and it does some kind of round robin load balancing to the services?

I could introduce my own load balancer proxy like Envoy but I want to reduce complexity as much as possible for systemd to be a viable alternative to k8s.

And when I diet I do feel more will power and am not in auto-pilot, and am more likely to say no to other things I don’t want to do

Right, instead of shaming it’s healthier to promote being your best self (carrot vs stick). I wasn’t able to be shamed out of addiction to cheap snack food, but I was able to change after I changed my mindset and the habit just didn’t fit my new tenets, my self-perception.

Society is so sensitive though that any message of improving yourself is interpreted as “shaming”, which hurts the individual.

I didn't have c# exp and it took me a month to feel "productive comfort", and less than 2 months until i felt "native comfort". I've been using it for about 2 years now.

That said I:

• had zero C# experience and it was the C# interop that caused me the most pain. Its easy now but I didn't grok how to properly pass arguments to overloaded C# methods (i kept messing up parenthesis, commas, and didn't pass argument names to tell f# the right function signature)

• have been coding for 8 years

• have functional lang experience with elixir and elm.

Now f# is my primary backend language.

If I pay for a dev account, then I won’t have to reinstall it?
