jj is not just a new interface for git, it has a lot of new and powerful features to offer, even when you're using the git backend with a colocated repo.
Just to name a few:
- deferred conflict resolution
- The very expressive revset language
- the op log and ability to undo any operation
Many things that you can do with the git cli are significantly easier and in some cases comparatively effortless using jj. If all you do is git add and git commit then you probably aren't missing out on much, but if you ever split or rebase commits you should definitely try jj.
Not in any meaningful sense if you are only looking to park the money safely and hold to maturity.
Buying 3 month T bills won't pay much, but it will pay more than the interest SVB pays on your checking account balance and importantly is backed by the full faith and credit of the us govt.
Does anyone know if this works with Yubikey 4? I have a lightning to USB adapter but I can't seem to get it to work with these keys. It worked fine with A USB-C + NFC Yubikey Security key and a Google Titan key, but not Yubikey 4.
My understanding is that it's actually quite difficult to fit a high quality camera into a laptop lid. If you look at how thin the lid is you'll notice it's at least twice as thin as a cell phone.
Theft and fraud on this scale is absolutely violence in some sense. Don't assume everyone that lost money could afford to lose it. The second order consequences of this fraud are likely severe.
The point is not that the bank magically credits someone with $10. The $10 figure is arrived at after a series of infinitely recursive loans and deposits.
If you deposit $10, you still have $10, it's just in a bank account. If the bank then lends out $9 of that and hands it to them, that person now has $9, and you still have $10 (in your account). Presto, now there's $19 of money available. Of course if you both want to spend your money at the same time, then the bank will have to go back to the fed and say oops! we're illiquid and need to borrow $9. And the fed will say, ugh, you should manage your capital better but here's a loan for $9.
The same process that's occurred here can be done recursively, i.e. the person who borrowed $9 can deposit it in another bank, who then loans out $8.10, and so on...
This works out such that for every real dollar d, the total money supply is (d / r), where r is the reserve requirement, in this case, 10%.
It's not really even just that. It takes time for the compound in the airbag inflator to become unstable. Years, in fact. It's not a defect that's immediately apparent.
My experience with paying through the app has been pretty subpar. Usually I'm required to type in my credit card by hand, on my phone. Yuck. If I have to use some app / website to order food at your restaurant it better support Apple/Google Pay.
Edit: the number one thing users want in a restaurant ordering system is ease. I'm in a restaurant to relax, eat, and enjoy good company. The last thing I want to do is register for get another app (because none of the restaurants use the same one) and type in my payment details. Some of the things you mention do sound more convenient than the traditional paper menu and human waiter, but if I have to type in a credit card number or sign up for an account, I'd prefer the human.
That's not what they're talking about here. They're saying that any system with a C++ compiler is a target for this new language, as opposed to Rust, which only runs on systems with a LLVM backend.
I mean, I'm not into Lego, but considering what this app does this seems like a pretty fair price. It's doubtless fairly involved to create something like this. It even gives you stylized step by step instruction on how to build then thing it invents for you!
