After recent story about github ban: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33917962 anything that asks for more that email is a instant 'close tab and never return' for me. And even before, there is no way I am allowing any site to access may date of birth (despite it being fake one anyway)
And going back to "autocomplete" - it looks that browsers "know better" than developers: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12374442/chrome-ignores-...
Quora always had reputation for being shit but I am impressed by how terrible that page is. I mean there are only two 2 types of answers there: "Window$ is BAD" and stuff that looks like generated by GPT-3( or straight up from those infamous "recipe sites" a.k.a. SEO farms).
That isn't so obvious to me. For all intents and purposes this is no different from crack. I am not sure if DMCA is right tool but I totally understand why Microsoft wouldn't want to host it.
Like many people have already noticed: we overestimate what can be accomplished in the short term and underestimate what can be accomplished in the long term.
- what are you going to do when you need to split [a,b] into multiple parts, for performance reasons? [a,c], (c,b] ? Can your codebase handle different interval types? Having [a,b) everywhere is simpler
- stuff like 23:59:59.999999999 is code smell, well until database rounds it up, to next day, then it turns into bug
> with an obligation on providers to verify the match between the bank account number (IBAN) and the name of the beneficiary provided by the payer
This will break a lot of payment flows, currently that verification is rarely enforced. For example I have saved "power company" as receiver's name, the transfers still work since everything besides IBAN is ignored.
As long as there is free space in block it makes sense for miners to include any non-zero free transaction, so it is a race to bottom with only occasional surges, kinda like the ones that happen in Uber.
