No!


One finance is close (so far) except that if I spend more than my spend pocket has, the charge is rejected it doesn’t pull from all pockets.


They have $700 of mine. I deposited a cashiers check before account closure. They accepted the check then closed my account.

Now I’m being given the runaround as Simple said they’d look into it—didn’t resolve in time and now BBVA is taking over.

Here is the link to the actual bill. I have it bookmarked https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/69?s...


I don't find that these articles acknowledging BTC/ETH clearing the 30k/1k price point provide any value to the discussion surrounding their existence.

Article acknowledges incumbents, pumps them, drops some other altcoin names and provides brief summary of XRP issues with SEC (which we've already discussed here).


Paircast automatically transcribe the video's audio to text.


Yes, but then you only have the video's audio but miss out on the actual code being written, meaning you lose a lot of context.


It also records the code being written.


If the text-only experience is good enough, then why bother with encoding and storing a video?


Books are pretty good, why bother with movies?


Although I agree with you, this comment is missing the mark. Books and films are two fundamentally different mediums and have two different audiences, while this is more about supplementing the text version of something with audio/video.

I think that an audio (or video) version would be superior, but more because, assuming there are captions, the audio might be able to describe something beyond the code alone more easily than typing out a note would.


It takes lots and lots of effort to turns books into movies and vice versa.

You don't just take a transcript of the dialogue in the movie to make a book.


It claims you can git checkout code from any point of the lecture/cast


The git commit hash is included at the top of every diff in the transcript. You can `git checkout [the hash]` to get the code at that point.


Ok, that’s actually awesome!


Speaking from Oakland CA here where the eviction moratorium is one of the most intense in the country. I think most renters who opt not to pay during eviction moratoriums suspect that being brought to court for rent arrears is akin to squeezing blood from a stone.

My lawyer advised me to negotiate rent to an amount my tenant can pay stating, "the only way you'll be able to collect is by a future collection action, and many times those types of judgments are worth about as much as the paper they're printed on."

I say this all to try and drive the point home, a moratorium on evictions is akin to an implicit rent reduction or rent elimination.


It's not like avoiding rent is a good deal for renters. They get out of paying for some number of months, yes, but they then face the likely prospect of both eviction and being unable to find new housing in the near future, which is an extremely harsh disincentive.

While there are always edge cases, I really doubt any significant number of people who can afford to pay would even consider taking advantage of this.


They might not have a choice wrt paying vs not paying: some parts of the United States have chosen to cure a headache by decapitation, and are still shut down.


To be fair, in many places (including the SFBA) you could get a rent reduction just by asking these last few months. My rent was knocked down significantly because we asked (and circumstances were reasonable), and I know of people on month to month leases who got reductions by threatening to move out.


Anecdote time: My tenant said they were denied unemployment. They never tried to negotiate the rent. After 4 months of nonpayment when Oakland formalized my ability to offer them a "Covid19 rent reduction" which wouldn't affect their lease'd rent price on an ongoing basis I gave them a 20% reduction. 7 months later I still haven't received a dime.

I finally decided to look them up on LinkedIn—turns out they used to be a property manager, something I'd overlooked during my background check. I think they just know how long the rope is right now, and how my hands are tied, so they're using the system to their advantage ¯\_(ツ)_/


Or... They actually were denied unemployment and their prior employment has no bearing on their current situation except that maybe they understand the fine print a little better? And you going out of your way to make negative assumptions about your tennant is a great example of why people think landlords are jerks?


Prior to my joining the team, our homemade migration tool used sequential versioning numbers for filenames, i.e. 001_migration_name.sql, 002_migration_name.sql.

As our team was grew, it was very common to publish a PR, and right before merging realizing you had a conflict with someone else who'd merged to master ahead of you, using your sequence number.

I made a small change to the system, replacing the sequence numbers with unix timestamps and added some previously non-existant tests to cover the migration utility.

Unfortunately the subsequent PR took weeks to be approved by the team/eng leads because there was a lot of hand-wringing about this change. Once it was merged though we never thought about it again, it worked exactly as I'd hoped and nobody ever had to make a final "fix migration name" commit again.


I used to lose so much time to that, imagine coupling it with multi week code reviews (another process that needed to be fixed). I'm actually building a migration tool as part of a web framework (free time project). I'm going to "steal" this idea of yours if you don't mind.

To play devil's advocate, probably part of the reason for the sequence number approach is so if that PR that merged ahead of you conflicts with your migration you're more likely to notice if you have to rename it. I don't think that's particularly common though, and the problem should surface when the CI build runs your migrations prior to permitting the merge to master ( a good CI setup requires you to pull master into your PR if it's out of date, which ensures the combination didn't break things.)


Funny my team had the same issue and I did something similar, except I went with one file per release and they would merge changes like any other code file.

"Rent is bad" is itself political ideology.
