It's just a "jobs" advertisement for a YC company, which has been a perk of YC for 15-ish years. All such YC company job advertisement posts also show up if you click the jobs section at the top of the site.

I do find it a little odd all the comments in this thread are focusing on it as though it was a straight telemetry/metric decision. From the update, this feels more like it was problem area for maintenance purposes, then had its teleme

Yeah, my example was bad. I was more trying to point out that determinism of the intrinsic action is a pre-condition to the idempotency, in order to make and verify the assurance required. You could easily split the deterministic action, an

It's not really uncomfortably close to determinism, it is baseline deterministic which is necessary for the verification. The powerful part of idempotence is that it's deterministic + a verified assurance "as if we run it onl

As someone who started doing web development in 2003-2004, I've always aimed for a 5 year support window. This is largely because of how long IE6-IE8 upgrades took for many SMB's and governments to upgrade from in those days. Back

It seems like an unusual rephrasing of the saying "reasonable on the face", which means "reasonable upon first appearance, without considering deeper aspects." It's judging a book by it's cover.

This already kind of existed prior to the pandemic'. If you bought premium tickets to a show, often you would get placed into VIP list with the venue and/or artist. Venue perks included contact with a VIP manager that could help l

Yeah, I think the author focused a bit too much on structural pattern matching being a replacement/alternative for if...elif blocks. It will be much more useful as an alternative to dispatch dictionaries, which are more a side-effect o

This is the correct answer and is actually somewhat visible if you also look at the DJIA and NASDAQ figures. The S&P 500 and DJIA are limited to a fixed number of corporations. The NASDAQ is allowed to expand it's number of listed

The speed of computing a path from vertex to vertex is faster than trying to generate a point at X distance for the pathing object. So you give the NPC a speed, and it moves as far along the edges between vertexes in each time interval. The

I explained it pretty clearly what you get when you add a month on January 31st. You get February 31st. A month is a discrete unit of measure. It is not decomposable into any number of days. When you increment a month, you get YYYY - (MM+1)

I agree those are the technically correct way to do it. But if the reason people are wanting to use the library, is they want something to handle the complexity for them, coercing the data is good for simplication. There is actually another

Plus/Increment/Add 1 month, does have one single meaning, it's that the outcome may be invalid that is the issue. "2021-01-31".plus(unit="Month", size=1) => "2021-02-31" But nobody really want

by jimminy 5y ago
If you're adding 1 month, you're working on the month's location, e.g. 2021 - (02) - 28. When you increment the month, the result would be 2021-03-28. The only time you'd modify the day, is if the day became invalid due

It's a fair question. A bunch of the larger guys like Charles Schwab and TD did implement restrictions as well. In their case, it may not have been a necessity to maintain liquidity for other assets, but capping the exposure to how muc
