I think it's a fair move. A lot of people around the world and organizations try to do anything on their hands to protect Brazil from using its own lands. Meanwhile all countries have devastated their own forests to build ships and make wars, people from Brazil are hungry and the country must grow to make the lives of all the human beings there good.

But no, instead we've got first world countries which give us always very shitty trade deals speaking about what we do with our own land, when they complete wrecked theirs. And if you check their energy solutions, it's always coal, or they all got cars, or anything. They've got their own problems, which are potentially even worse for the environment but they keep looking at a poor country, just as they did in the past, to perhaps steal gold, slave people, make money... They want us to follow their crappy and shitty agenda when they can't even get decent politicians, they get shitty ones as we do, they go on middle-east and make fucking wars everytime, killing millions. But no, we can't do whatever the fuck we want with our forests.

The sad part is that much of Brazil has succumbed to environmentalists from abroad. If those who complain about it would go to Brazil and try to live a middle-class life there with a job in shitty conditions going through a crisis every decade, always feeling things aren't stable enough to make a living. Perhaps living in a big city, taking 2-3 hours to go to work, then 2-3 hours to go back, I've bet that they wouldn't care too much about Amazon or whatever countries from abroad says... but they don't, they come from privileged backgrounds, sometimes they say that they know poverty, sure, everybody can look at a magazine, but did they ever feel it like they do in a country like Brazil?

my 2 cents, thumbs down as much as you feel like.

ps: I completely get the point of environmentalists, but this will never work out while people are still hungry. Perhaps you should ask for your country to help Brazil to reach its enlightenment and then have enough cash and businesses to be willing to protect its own forest. But no, you just make the situation worse.

There are inflationary cryptocurrencies out there.

The deflationary ones are designed that way to be attractive as a store of value.

Early adopters of anything are usually rewarded because they take the risk. For instance, early Youtubers have much bigger followings, because they broke the trends, started something new.
Safety is many shades of grey instead of being black and white and it is intertwined with the concept of risk.

The fact that large C and C++ code bases exist and the products they drive are successful proves that it is possible to write code in those languages that offers a good enough risk/reward balance.

This is what many Rust fans are missing: you want to sell 100% memory safety, but you're assuming that everyone wants 100% instead of 80 or 90% and that they're willing to pay the price of switching.
I've been working with a React+GraphQL+Apollo+PostgraphQL stack as of late it and has been absolute joy. Apollo is super robust and has excellent documentation and PostgraphQL _just worked_ out of the box against an existing Postgres database.

>...(gap buffer and piece table) don't seem well suited to operations that affect the entire buffer

With a gap buffer, you can just move the gap to the beginning (or end -- whichever is closer) of the buffer, and you'll have the "entire buffer" ready for one of those operations.

As pointed out by jwilk, this comes from the "Date:" HTTP header, NOT the TLS timestamp. To clarify, they aren't intended to be exact or high-precision, like NTP timestamps. They are simply meant to give the NTP client some confidence that the (unauthenticated) timestamps being received from NTP servers/peers are accurate (and not being manipulated by an attacker).

OpenNTPD supports both the singular and plural versions [0] of the directive and they operate in the same fashion as chrony's "server" and "pool" directives do (i.e. single vs. multiple hosts). With several such sources configured, outliers here can also be easily detected.

Personally, I use several sources across many different organizations (U.S. government, U.S. tech companies, foreign entities, and my own servers) and it gives me much more confidence that an attacker can't manipulate the time on any of the hosts under my control.

Please do reconsider adding this feature! If you'd like, I'd be more than happy to open a bug/file a feature request/whatever.

The open source nature of Bitcoin, makes sure that development can always be forked. We saw this as recently as with the creation of Bitcoin Cash, which forked form Bitcoin to implement bigger blocksizes, and which is not developed by Blockstream. In the end, if you don't read the code, you'll have to trust someone else did, and would raise a fuss about any shady findings.

I used to work with a startup that did this data collection for British Rail at just these stations. It was used for fairly important things like "will this new bridge be sufficient for the passengers who currently walk all the way round to get to platform X. Will it be a crush risk / bottleneck".

A railway station should be through of as a maze where the walls really do move in and out every few minutes. hundreds of signals can appear and disappear just like that.

one of my biggest issue with looking through codebases is, where do i start?

if i'm not familiar at all with the language, or more specifically how the language architectures the program, i'm just going to be spending a lot of time looking at stuff that probably isn't the meat and bones of the library/app.

take for example, his first suggest codebase, seastar. i haven't done c++ in years (school, using turbo borland) so where do i look? "apps" maybe? nope just seems to be a folder of libraries. ah, probably the core folder. whoops there are 20+ files/headers. should i dig into this assuming that's where most of the code for the app/library is?

i suppose it would probably be nice if there's a site that explains how most programming languages layout their code. e.g) javascript generally is laid out similarly now, as is ruby/rails. so a site to explain the general layout structure would be kinda cool. it's kinda late at night so maybe i'm overthinking this.

Not downvoting, but as a Brazilian living in Brazil I don't agree with the false dichotomy you imply here, that you can't develop in an environmentally sane way. What the current government is implementing is criminally irresponsible and walks us back to 20th century exploitation. My dad worked for Shell and Rio Tinto for years, and travelling with him around the country you could see how practices changed as environmental regulations came into play. It was definitely less lucrative for the companies, but they were not major employers or generators of local business anyway. We can do better than suggesting we should replicate environmental damage the first world committed.

After some thought (and before I read your comment), I am indeed mistaken. Take the long/lat mapping we put onto Earth - it contains trapezoids.

However, the sections on a torus are not always parallelograms. Take your donut and lay it on the table. It has an equator of sorts where the oil didn't cook it as dark. Imagine little rectangles around the donut, long sides resting on this outer equator, short sides touching adjacent rectangles. We continue stacking rectangles over the donut and toward the inner equator. If we maintain the same number of rectangles circling around the central axis (the one that passes through the center, perpendicular to the equatorial plane, but never intersects the donut), then the long sides of the rectangles must get shorter as we approach the inner equator. If we look at one of these rectangles, we can see that the long side toward the outer equator is longer than the side toward the inner equator. And that the short sides are no longer parallel. Thus, these sections are not parallelograms.

> It has been said that latency amounts of 100ms are perceived as instantenous (https://www.pubnub.com/blog/2015-02-09-how-fast-is-realtime-...).

Yes, but that was 50 years ago(!!!) and technology + expectations have moved on considerably since then; which that article explores. Thus my take away from that article is that 100ms is very perceivable and thus simply not fast enough for some applications.

For what it's worth, the article correlates with my own personal anecdote as well.

Going back to the original point, 100ms might still be good enough for a text editor, generally speaking. But going back to my own anecdote, I do find it highly frustrating when running into lag on a text editor when I'm banging out quick edits when either in the zone or working to a tight deadline. Frustrating enough that I have stopped using some text editors because of it.
This is a really complex topic that I don't really understand, but I think there's quite a lot of interesting nuance to the deflationary cryptocurrency question.

For example, you could consider Bitcoin as being like a "specie" or "hard currency" within an ecosystem that also includes various types of "scrip" or "credits".

Ether behaves a lot like that. It's the hard base currency in an ecosystem of tokens ("soft currencies") all with different monetary policies.

There are very interesting Ethereum tokens without fixed supply, for example the token that will be issued by Maker (the "dai") which is basically an asset-backed credit token with an autonomous monetary policy to stabilize the token's market value measured against the IMF's currency basket index (XDR).

This seems to be a really natural pattern: you have a small number of deflationary hard currency (precious metals, basically) that act as global store of value, hedge against local volatility, and neutral means of settlement; and then you have a whole range of other credit instruments.

Random thought: to people brought up with cryptocurrencies, we might be explaining gold as "well, it's like nature's bitcoin: scarce, hard to mine, and very expensive."

Anyone interested can read this paper - https://www.ijicta.org/index.php/ijicta/article/view/16 .
Your rant is so off the track with a populist tone that I don't even know how to start a proper response to it. You complain about stuff that have no basis for discussion considering all the points the article make, like, you failed to even disagree with its 3-line-long summary. The Tucuruí dam mentioned near at the end of the article had a small village next to it (which is now a town). I was born and raised there, and I saw most of the problems the article raises happening in front of me for years, and guess what? It's still a fucking poor devastated area without much human development after decades. I think I can confidently call your comment BS.
Why the new domain? Was there an issue with the io?
There's a ton of positive value to having real time data. Just off the top of my head: 1) If you've instrumented something incorrectly ... 2) Even worse, if you've accidentally messed up ... 3) You can observe significant changes ... 4) It allows you to have more confidence in deploying multiple times ...

Embracing both yours, and the author's perspectives I think I have a compromise. It seems to me the author's gripe is more specifically that his customers want to "do the same large window analytics in realtime" whereas here you highlight particular usecases where realtime analytics are simple.

In a previous life I was producing near-realtime analytics for network activity for populations numbering 10s of millions, all the time, in realtime, except the definition of realtime was stretched to allow a 15 minute latency.

Reducing this 15 minute latency was oft requested e.g to give help-desk operators an instant view of what is happening for a customer or, to automate responses to particular well-known system issues in realtime.

It wouldn't have been impossible to reduce our 15 minute window but given various architectural limitation of the time it would have been expensive and upon analysing these customer requirements it made more sense to simply siphon off the realtime event-data at our monitoring points into a parallel dataflow.

TL;DR you do different things with realtime vs aggregate data. Do you really need the expense of a system that does both equally well?
I'm with you on this! Clicked on the same suggestion and had no idea where to start.

Fixing Brazil's economy has little to do with using more land. US Forest Service Manages 8% of US land for example.

More simply modern economy gains little from farm land as there exists such an over supply of food that farming tends to be break even or be a net economic loss.

That said, people will always be interested in extracting value from pubic lands at the public expense.

Facebook is the biggest farm of data milch cows that has ever existed. How can he publically come out and say that?
Yes there are, and will continue to be unintended effects on society for running such a large farm...

But

Everyone (trapped) employed in the credit fuelled consumption economy needs the farm to exist.

Asking Zuckerberg to clarify the role of the farm is pointless. It's like asking why a gigantic herd of wildebeest are required for the Serengeti to exist.

If you want a consumption culture that gives you, your iPhones and Star Wars movies you need the farm. Whether its called facebook or is run by a Zuckerberg is in an irrelevant point.
