I used an old version chrome to print the page (I have kept some vintage softwares for old times' sake).

Yet Bitmain supports larger blocks, you're not making sense.

What personal attacks? Sure, continue dismiss it as "FUD" or "non-technical people".
I've made some early work on using constraints when I started working on Yarn, but it ended up unpractical because of the sheer execution time it required. A huge number of constraints were required to satisfy the requirements, which was made even worse when you consider that a dependency version might have different sub-dependencies than its other versions.

That being said, I'm not an expert in SAT logic, and it's quite possible a better solution is possible! Maybe some kind of hybrid algorithm, possibly? In fact, one thing I'd really like to do in medium term would be to externalize the resolver part of Yarn - this way, it would be much easier to experiment with it to try to find algorithms that fits various requirements. If you want correctness you would use a slow but comprehensive algorithm, if you want speed you would use a naive algorithm like the one in the article, etc.

Agreed. Hence my point that a web standards body is best placed to solve this once and for all by providing a common (reference) component/API.
In these cases you'd have to freeze the version of every layer beneath the editor(browser/env, OS and so on), otherwise any regression in these layers is going to break your app.

But if you decide to freeze you run the risk of exposing your users to security issues.

Getting security fixes automatically is not a good thing.

Too many open source projects fail to ensure non-breaking changes or long term support of multiple release versions.

So either you rely on greatest(>) that has no guarantees to not break and not just patches (~), you try patches and a new release is effectively end of support or you rely on greatest, fail to do a regular audit and realise the dependency is no longer in active development and will receive any updates (which upon typical discovery would require a change of dependency used).

Security isn't just about vulnerability, and I don't like to ask it (because it isn't universal), but is not a risk of system failure often worse than a risk of system vulnerability? It depends somewhat on how critical the system is and defaulting to explicit versions instead of latest is probably a better practice in my opinion.

I've done development using NodeJs and on the JVM and found I had far fewer problems with Java dependency management.
I did not know that. So why all the noise about how expensive tertiary education is in the US?
As you say, it's largely the difference between serious work - i.e. "expert" tasks - and other things tech is used for. To call it a "hot trend" seems to overlook the reality that humans use technology for a lot more nowadays than just cognitively heavy work.

Even when the work itself is cognitively heavy, it is sometimes imperative that the cognitive load of the UI is low, since the user is actually using most of their cognition outside the computer screen: In the actual world with which they are interacting.

If you were at a doctor's office, would you rather have the doctor focusing their attention on listening to you or on complex data on the screen? - Possibly both, depends on the situation. But if the UI for data entry there demands heavy cognitive load, there is probably a cost for how present the doctor can be for listening and observing their patient.

That's my experience with them as well. We got three 10-year-old machines (clothes washer, drier and dishwasher), and they all lasted 10-15 years more with minimal problems, but when a problem did arise, just getting an official Miele rep to look at it was damn expensive, and the estimate to fix it was the cost of a new mid-range machine.

Luckily we found an non-affiliated technician who was much cheaper and got the part from an old machine for a small fraction of the cost.
Of course, and I acknowledge that accidents will happen anyway. But we cannot have a car that is on the road with "autonomous" driving functionality when it is known that the sensors can't detect an obstacle above half-pillar height(like in that famous tesla crash), or that the lane detection can fail in intense sunlight(like dozens of videos on Youtube show). It should have no known failure states upon release, and then ones which are found should be fixed later. I'm just worried that we're in such a rush to release autonomous cars on the road that we are ignoring known issues for the sake of improving average safety on the road - literally no other industry works like this.
I think when speaking about languages we should speak more about the AST and their elements. When I see code I often find myself wondering about what parts of the text form a leaf.

The closest to an API which aggregates all flights is a Global Distribution System (GDS), of which there are three in common use. Airlines publish their inventory on the GDS and travel agents book through them.

There are some exceptions. GDS cost money so budget airlines usually don't bother with them. In that case, they may publish an API which agents may consume, or the agent may screen scrape them.

Paul Draper from TFA totally ignored the perspective of a packager.

It would be a completely unacceptable situation for application A1 to depend on DB abstraction library v0.8651, A2 on v0.8653, A3 on v0.8670, A4 on v0.87…

How do you ship this to your distro users? Almost always there is no easy way to install several libraries of the same name but different versions in parallel, and it's never supported by the distro auto-packaging tools.

Patching to use the latest version of the dependencies and verifying the patched version works ok is a huge burden on package maintainers. The application author knows the code much better!

The current solution of specifying minimum versions of dependencies exists not because we like the suffering caused by occasional breakage. No, it exists because it is a practical, working solution for the real world that is the best balanced trade-off.

The longer rant is here[1]. In short, it's because Apple is unique in its hatred of third-party repair and they are trying to gain a monopoly over repair of their devices. This is not normal, it's actually very abnormal if you compare it to how repair industries normally work for electronic or mechanical components.

The problem is not that Louis (and the rest of the right-to-repair movement) want them to go out of their way to be accommodating. They want them to follow how the rest of the repair industry operates, and to stop going out of their way to make repairs more difficult. Louis has a very strong personality, but he does actually have a point.

Economics is an excuse, especially since we know the Apple explicitly has spent money on trying to thwart third-party repair shops. The automotive industry went through this song and dance in 2012 (before the 90s it was the norm). All they want is the ability to purchase legitimate chips from wherever Apple sources them and have access to the same schematics their technicians have access to. They're not asking Apple to become a wholesale supplier of repair parts.

None? At least for video games, for some reason producers don't seem to like to include real cities. They recreate architectural styles, put a lot of work into making the place feel like the real city, but if you pull out an actual map, it turns out the virtual buildings and streets don't exist.

I first realized that when I played Modern Warfare 3 around the same time I visited Prague. I pulled up the Prague level map and compared to the city map and my photos; lo and behold, it turns out the city plan in the game was completely made up, even though it features sorta-like real buildings.
SaschaWillems/Vulkan: Examples and Demos for the New Vulkan API
Depends on your target audience.

If it's 10 internal admin users on desktops, the only time they're going to have to redownload the bundled js is when there's a change.

And if you're sensible you'll have multiple bundles, one of which will be a bundle of rarely updated external libraries, including that editor. So once every couple of months they have to wait an extra second or two for a page to load.

Some of the internal apps I've written for clients have a core bundle that almost never changes and then a js file almost per page (which each append a hash of their contents to the URL to ensure efficient cache busting, managed with an in memory cache of the hashes).
In the end it doesn't matter how efficient the mining ends up being. All that matters is the price of electricity. Assuming efficiency gains level out and thus the cycle of buying new hardware to keep up approaches infinity length, the only major cost left is electricity use.

So in that case the energy used is dependent on (transaction fees * bitcoin price) / (energy price)

So to get a % of all energy usage, you need to know the future energy usage, the future energy price, the future bitcoin price and the future amount that will be spend on transaction fees.

I'm sure the future energy usage and price have good forecasts available. Then you're left with the bitcoin price and fees (both which are dependent on popularity (which in turn is dependent on price and fees)), but good luck forecasting that.

I'd love to believe you. And you are likely right, the algorithm itself isn't there to milk anyone - but facebook surely acts like they want to, and they'll use that algorithm to do so if needed.

I have a page for artwork. Most of the time, facebook will tell me how much better the current post is doing than so many other posts on the page (even if it doesn't seem likely). It reminds me to post after 2-3 days, because my few fans will miss me. I do art and can't actually get things done that quickly, after all. Every post has multiple prompts to boost the post, noting how others with simiilar content have boosted posts. Sometimes it tells me how many hundreds of local people will see it. Sometimes it'll be a general prompt. These even show up as notifacations, sometimes on both my personal and my artist page. Additionally, I get ads for post or page boosts in my normal feed.

The algorithm is just a part of the milking.

While I agree that only increasing block size forever (or simply removing the size limit) doesn't seem reasonable in the long run, are we sure that segwit and the off-chain scaling solutions proposed today will really solve the long-term scaling issues of BTC?

All the practical "here's how lightning's going to work" papers I've read so far leave me very skeptical. Here's an example: http://diyhpl.us/wiki/transcripts/scalingbitcoin/hong-kong/o...

The Q-and-A at the end in particular is interesting:

>Q: On the last slide, one of the assumptions was 3 channels per person. Assuming payment channels wouldn't be useful for retail sales, because you don't want to buy a coffee just to open immediately. Is that correct?

>A: Joseph might expand on this. Let's say you buy a coffee. You're probably buying a coffee only once, right? Well, maybe the coffee is $5, and you put $50 into the channel and leave it open. Then someone else comes to the coffee shop and she does the same thing. But she has a channel with the grocery store. There's me, coffee shop, Alice, grocery store, they all have channels. When I go to the grocery store next time, I don't have to open a channel. Payments are routed.

>Q: It sounded like everybody would have to open new channels.

>A: I am guessing the mean is going to be 3, but it will probably be an exponential distribution. Most people will probably have 1 channel, and then some might have 100s of channels open.

I don't know about you but while on paper that might work I still see a lot of hand waving, guesswork and rather unsubstantiated assumptions. Why would I decide to "lock" $50 worth of Bitcoins when I buy a $5 coffee? What's the incentive for me to do this? Where does this estimate of 3 come from exactly, I see it repeated everywhere but I can't find the maths behind it?

Here's an interesting attempt at simulating a real-scale ligtning network (why aren't there more of these? Aren't we talking about a $40bn market cap currency here?): https://hackernoon.com/simulating-a-decentralized-lightning-...

The simulation is rather unrealistic and I'm not sure how to interpret its conclusions. It seems to kinda work but there are issues:

>133,401 micropayments were attempted and 3461 (2.6%) of these failed. For successful payments the median number of hops was 19 and the median total fees were 2 bits (0.000002 btc) or 32% of the value transferred.

Now it could be caused by a bad simulation rather than a real issue with Lightning network, but frankly I can't tell at this point.

I don't have a horse in this race but as seen from the outside it all looks a bit rushed and amateurish. I don't know the whole story though, maybe I'm just poorly informed.

There is a correlation between having wealth, and being able to make the best of it.

If there was a wealth sharing event, a vast amount would be lost, and inequality would rise again. monetary equality without equality of personal value (skills, qualifications) and motivation (behavior, habits) is moot.

Also, for some, the lack of equality of those fronts might be spent, instead, on criminal enterprises - money is power after all, and power corrupts. Then there would be more crooks among the wealthy.
I've been having a shitty experience with 2.4GHz WiFi combined with Bluetooth on my late 2013 MacBook Pro Retina for ages. The Wifi performance goes to shit with multiple devices connected and the bluetooth devices stutter and disconnect. It was completely unusable in Yosemite but slightly better in some version after that. It's currently "usable" unless I do heavy downloads over 2.4GHz with a bunch of bluetooth devices connected. With 5GHz Wifi everythings fine and dandy.

It's not an issue when running Windows on the machine and it's not due to congestion regarding 2.4GHz wifi networks. And it's not AP related. It's macOS related. I am also not alone in experiencing it. Not the worlds biggest issue but frustrating as hell.

To me, hashing power is not the process by which the outcome will be decided.

IMHO, the percentage of technical signalling will not even matter that much.

Two chains will get created quite quickly. And some BTC holders will try to take advantage of the situation.

Since transactions can get replayed on the other chain (and copying them from one chain to the other brings a stability advantage) the technical way things are going to occur is double-spending to different adresses.

... Which means services supporting different chains will be pitted against each other.

Users will empty out one wallet at the same time to one exchange on a chain they don't support, and to another address they control on the chain they support. In cashing out on the exchange, they will crash the market value of that chain.

... Which brings me to: exchanges should start signalling support and come to a consensus pretty quickly, in their own interest. They don't want to be the exchange everybody cashes out on.

Questions abound:

* Have they started signalling it?

* What software are they running?

* If you hold some BTCs: are you planning to double spend?

* How are you going to proceed?

* Which chain do you support, and how many BTC do you possess?

TL;DR: There will be a run. Exchanges will determine the outcome.
