The banking system in the US is a legacy mess. Transfers still take business days to go through and making your bank account # and routing information available is actually a security concern, honestly I don’t even know why that’s still a thing.

Products like PayPal and Plaid try to provide something that is slightly more usable, but with this underlying obsolescence their functionality is very limited.

When paying for services, credit cards are still the way to do it. For P2P payments, people use PayPal, Venmo, Cash App, and others. Nothing even close to a unified system like Pix in Brazil.

just a bulk purchase

These things can just be unique fields. I think the takeaway here is exactly to not use these unique fields as database keys if you have the option / if it’s up to you.

I received an email about this one year ago from one of the universities technicians/systems maintainer to let them know if we were running non-openjdk java runtimes because they received a million-dollar “warning” email. Greedy corps are even going after universities.

if your tractor can’t run farming simulator, is it even a tractor?

• T-1 NASA
• T0 NASA?
• T+1 SATAN
• T+2 NTATAS

surely these are things that should be considered, but they move in relation to what? And is this surprising amount of any significance for tens or hundreds of miles of rail?

yeah, who knows - some people might rather waste time fighting a language model than actually learning things…

it’s too early for something like this imo, but maybe in a few years it serves a purpose

you’re thinking anywhere on the platform, I’m suggesting a known place near a station by which the train passes and its location - at that moment - is known.

All the system needs is a ground-truth location after a certain amount of time. GPS is just a cheap and convenient way to do it almost anywhere, but this location correction doesn’t need to be satellite-based at all.

the initial location doesn’t need to be GPS, just a known anchor location. Which is trivial to implement in the case of trains, since stations don’t move that drastically.

a lot cooler

ice what you did there

long-term inertial guidance

this is exactly what I got from the article: a more accurate inertial navigation. What part violates relativity?

“replacing GPS” is a stretch, but it’s some sci-fi tech to use when GPS can’t be used

surely

I just visited it again, ugh…

they revamped the UI, removed features in the process and worsen the performance? Classic Google.

Version 2024.6.2 does not include the final fix for this issue. We are still completing our internal testing, but we plan to submit another release to the store later this week as soon as it is verified.

from the github issue

Finally! And it seems it’s the 2024.6.2 with the actual fix (2024.6.0 seems to have promised a fix that didn’t cover all cases),

I don’t see how one can make sure their order is correct with a fake picture, but whatever floats your boat

tbh I’d rather not see the picture when it comes to mcdonald’s, as it can only lead to a disappointment

yeah mate - you need a knowledge management software, not a browser.

tabs were always ephemeral and that’s unlikely to change because they’re much more than text and images.

that’s simply an unreasonable expectation for a browser.

I’m honestly surprised Firefox even handles more than a few hundred open tabs.
