If the press reported it correctly, weapons stolen from Iraq's army were a big enabling factor for the ISIS fast growth. They would invade a new region and get for free a big enough supply for invading the next place.

Venezuela, by its turn, is mostly Brazil and Argentina's fault. The US gave some financing to the current government, but it's a rounding error overall. The Brazilian government even helped organizing their dictatorship at the time it was trying to do the same here.

That's what I don't have good numbers on, I was just pointing out that talking about bitcoins using a lot of energy isn't a good argument unless you're comparing it against the current system, which also uses a substantial amount of power. The big question is what you're asking: How do they compare?
On a per-transaction basis? No.

Those costs specifically end up being reified in the fee those processors charge to their customers, so we can determine an upper limit to how much is spent on energy in that way.
If by "real production" you mean "implemented profitably by classic corporations", then you're not really getting the crypto-anarchist philosophy that espouses the view that blockchains are a generally useful tool. The long-term crypo-anarchist plan (lol) is to replace corporations with ephemeral networks of strangers who, as a group, accomplish the tasks traditionally handled by corporations and governments.
I think the US proves that the "constitution" as any mechanism for safety is absurd. It's ignored or abused when it's convenient.
While I agree with you in general, the following point is incorrect:

Even sleeping in the car is also considered a DUI in some states[1]. Beware!

You’ll be immersed in the business side of the work from the start of each project too, so you can shape it to meet the business requirements.

A good candidate will have the following skills:
Knowledge of algorithms, data structures, complexity
Experience with different programming paradigms (definitely OO, at least one of functional or declarative, and any others a bonus)
Versed in several programming languages
Experience of all stages in the project life-cycle
A passion for open source technologies
Good Unix and Windows skills

Pathlight is the first platform dedicated to helping sales managers. These managers are critical to any organization’s success (and revenue), but are stuck with using whiteboards, email, and spreadsheets to do this vital job.

Sales managers use Pathlight every day because it helps them control their team's pipeline, productivity, and development like they've been doing it for 20+ years.

We’re looking for hungry and talented full-stack engineers to help us.

Pros:

- Green field development. An opportunity to build things from scratch and own large parts of the stack.
- Real world problems. The kind that companies pay $100K+ to solve.
- Experienced founders. This is our 2nd startup - our first was acquired in 2013.
- Well-funded and well-run. Series A, low burn. Capital efficiency is important to us.
- Product market fit. Companies already using it every day.

Cons:

- Very early. Very uncertain.
- We’re not going to match your offer from Facebook
- No free lunches, gym memberships, massages, etc.
- We play Yacht Rock on Fridays.

Our application pulls from a customer’s existing CRM and uses a whole mess of buzz-words to perform our magic (cue shameless buzzword dump):

- Python/Django (Python3, Celery)
- Machine learning (scikit-learn, numpy)
- Thick frontend client (ES6/Babel/React/Mobx)

> Now this whole section feels a lot like "I'm trying to code in Rust like in C and it doesn't work and it frustrates me".

Who's fault is that?

Rust seems like an attempt to take a lot of foreign concepts to C/C++ programmers and dress them up in ALGOLy syntax. If you look at Rust's influences page[1], there's stuff from ML, Haskell, Erlang... and yet Rust code examples I've seen all look like "slightly weird C++." If Rust wasn't meant to be written like C/C++, it could spend less time aping it and more time looking like languages where you expect to come across ADTs and the like.

It's pretty rich how these companies are well known for the rigor they apply to interviewing candidates on technical subjects, yet actually drop the ball in production with poor engineering like this. Where does that rigor go after the interviews are done?

Are there any examples of well-known apps from large organizations that aren't excessively large in size?

I agree! Are you running a local node? I was thinking that a browser extension that automatically redirected URLs like ".*/ip[fn]s/\w+" to the local daemon address would be pretty useful.
They make code reuse possible. Watch this Sean Parent video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4moyKUHApq4 where he estimates that if Photoshop was rewritten using generics, the code size would go from 3,000,000 LOC to 30,000 LOC. You are right, during compilation, generics are specialized so you end up with code, however going all in on generics removes a lot of accidental complexity.
You know what, you're right, I guess I just like starting from a small footprint.
The same is true of bitcoin transaction fees, no? Miners set the minimum fee that they will accept, and people tack a fee onto a transaction, large enough that a miner will likely process it.

I think that depends on how much mining hashing power scales with regard to transaction rate. From a technical point of view, there's no reason that the hash rate has to increase to process more transactions. But from an economic and game theoretical point of view, increasing transaction rate makes the network more valuable, which makes attack rewards more valuable, which necessitates a higher hash rate. I'm not sure anyone has sussed out what the relationship is between transaction rate and minimum necessary hash rate.
This is pretty cool. It's a nice start. I'd like a solution for transferring for example ~1TB files securely. Global scape is the only easy sol I've found so far for sharing securely with one off partners, I mean beside encrypted drives.

Siege [0], is my go-to. Easy to add to CI, because its on most platforms, and has decent output configs. You can vary headers and pages to hit, and how long connections get held open, or just reject them. And of course, it has great concurrency.

It can bring down most servers that aren't configured to prevent DOS attacks, like naive nginx or Apache configs. Usually somewhere between 5-10mins.

> The opposition in Venezuela is socialist!

But are they communist? Or do they just support a welfare state? (Like many of Brazilian extreme right would be confused with the left if they ever traveled to the US. Is it the same case?)

The article doesn't explain why a public distributed ledger such as the blockchain would make sense. A privately run ledger would probably also solve their problems, be cheaper and it would be a lot more secure against tampering.

I mean that to stay stable and grow in popularity, bitcoin must sustain ever-increasing energy demands so that nobody has a majority and can start double-spending. The whole goal with variable difficulty is to counteract the ebb/flow in popularity and ensure that the work takes ~10 minutes. This ensures that as the popularity grows, more energy is required since it will always take 10 minutes for a new block, regardless of how many contributors are involved.

Furthermore, the miners are here for the direct mining rewards. I think the future transaction fees approach will be significantly less attractive, so I'll be very interested to see how that change plays out once the era of rewarded mining is over.

Is it possible maybe to render out the vector graphics once (on the device) and then have them pre-rendered (cached) until they change?

I guess it would add considerable overhead for a negligible improvement in size (compared to just shipping all images) for most devices.

EDIT: Too slow...
congrats ahead of time to whomever lands this gig... :)
The current alternative, treating the Browser like a poorly implemented, feature-scarce OS on which to run "web apps", is worse.
>dBase-derived languages in general were a lot of fun. And incredibly productive, basically taylor-made for cranking out CRUD apps.

Yes, true. I did a good amount of XBASE (which is the generic term for dBASE, Foxpro, Clipper, etc., and I worked on all 3 of those) in my early programming days (along with Turbo Pascal and Turbo C) - including a very interesting line-of-business app for a switchgear manufacturer's factory - that one was in Visual Foxpro and using a Novell Netware LAN and Windows. Was on site there for around 10 months for the project. Turned out to be ~180 KLOC in size and had a lot of features, from CRUD to parameterized SQL reports of all sorts to somewhat advanced (for the time at least) decision-support sort of stuff, plus production planning.

>I do ponder sometimes why we don't have something quite like that these days.

There actually are a few options (maybe you are aware of them). Harbour project, Flagship (both names are probably plays on Clipper), and a few others. There are also both paid and free libraries that can read and write XBASE formats. My own xtopdf toolkit includes DBFReader, a class that can read dBASE files, both the metadata and data.

> So what? That's a totally meaningless comparison because the ubiquity of cryptocurrencies would not obviate the need for financial services.

The person I replied to compalined about "wasting" power to run the bitcoin network. It's only a valid comparison when compared against current usage, as our current system also "wastes" power to run the current system.

> PoW incentivizes miners to use as much power as possible because that is a necessary requirement for increasing hash output.

It also incentives them to get the most performance per Watt. I'm just saying it's meaningless to complain that bitcoin uses power, it only matters how it compares to the current system.
>Same for the phones. Apple ain't expensive if you assume it is a quality product.

Same with Herbalife.
Unfortunately initial cost isn't the only constraint. Apartment style top/bottom washer/dryer combos can only get so big. In addition, larger equipment requires greater amounts of electricity to run and maintenance can be a bit more expensive (larger parts).
You'll also need an explicit blacklist, since my understanding is that several CAs cross-sign to get support on older browsers.

JavaScript people do not create libleftpad.so, they create libleftpad.o (metaphorically speaking), which will not clutter up your distribution, it will just clutter up some apps. I'd rather see 50 little files like libleftpad.o than 5 gigantic libraries.

But I agree with what you're saying in the second paragraph, which actually sounds just like what my GP meant by using "Webpack to throw away what isn't used". Having unused parts of larger libraries cut out would be a much cooler solution than just telling everyone to eschew kitchen sinks in favor of many tiny, bespoke items. Especially since finding the right small libraries is much harder than finding a kitchen sink that just works and has a sizable community behind it
The Bitcoin we have now won't be the same network we have at that scale. L2 and on-chain optimizations will get us some of the way.
There is no access to MMR from the Steam API. Best we have is Normal, High, and Very High skill splits and the problem then becomes having a large enough sample size to have accurate results.

114 heroes that all influence each other when they play together so if you're looking at matchups for two heroes that don't get played frequently the accuracy is already limited.

That said, my strength is in front end, not statistics. Getting a Normal and High split might be fine as is.
