> But it's not the bitcoin blockchain, per se, that's particularly interesting. For example, the trustless piece is largely a pointless waste in the problem I outlined above. We know all the participants and can safely move keys etc around. In the same vein, proof of work is unnecessary, we can identify block creators and easily use external remedies if they play silly buggers (no-one is suggesting we get rid of all our lawyers).

Yep, you could basically accomplish the same thing with Git and some rules for how to model a ledger and consensus. In that sense, there's nothing particularly new about the concept of an immutable distributed history. Now there's simply an implementation that cuts the banks out of the loop and lights a fire under them to offer better service.

The disadvantage of enabling WAL is that your database just turned into two files and you have to recover the database to read it. Recovery is fast but it requires write access.
Check out this chart: http://charts.woobull.com/bitcoin-nvt-ratio/

"NVT Ratio (Network Value to Transactions Ratio) is similar to the PE Ratio used in equity markets."

The NVT is currently high, but not out of control like it was in 2014. This is the best dataset I've seen for working out if the network is actually being used in a way that matches the valuation, and I think will become invaluable when the CME Bitcoin Futures market opens.

Giving everyone SIP phones is expensive, and forcing your subscribers to purchase SIP phones will ensure a number of them flee to the competition. Putting the VOIP hardware in the modem makes much more sense, because you have to provide that to your subscribers anyway.
No, it is neutral from a security point of view: previously you couldn't configure the new thing at all, now you upgrade to where you can configure it, but isn't you didn't configure it the last time you configured everything (because you couldn't) so it default to as if you had enabled it. When you come back latter and think about this again you enable the new configuration with the right whitelist, but until then things work just as well as before.

> At least in my experience, Rust (or LLVM, presumably) will make jump tables from all sorts of nonsense, doing something efficient even when there are gaps in matched values. Manually creating jump tables seems to be a waste of time.

I wouldn't say it is always a waste of time just because jump tables can be easier to read and manage when you have a decent number of opcodes. Being able to have all your opcodes in separate functions and then just have one single list that shows exactly what opcode maps to what instruction is really nice:

yes, is about feeding the 3D context too. It means to recognize a feature once, and then give a spatial translation, is able to say, yes is the same feature, just turned 30deg right, 40deg up, for example, without having to train the model with a _picture_ of an object taken from all sides and perspectives. Humans use binocular vision [1], but AI can be programmed to do more.

This is practically introducing AI to the real world: an object is more than the picture of it.

> If my application depends on some of those zero'd fields, it seems like that has potential to cause serious debugging problems, as opposed to just causing an error on the parse.

if your app didn't used to handle the 'zero' case (assuming zero was a "valid" value for said field), then the app was poorly written and would'be been broken in the first place. However, if the app _did_ handle the 'zero' case, then the app continued to work! The end user would've been none-the-wiser about the change (mostly), and some time later, the app could be upgraded to ignore those known fields.

Causing a parse error would mean the app stopped working altogether. Much worse a result for the end user.

It's a perfectly good car, and most non-electric reviewers have said its only major fault is being "not sexy, not cool". Doug DeMuro, for example - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2ogGZXmepY

> the bolt weighs more than the (short range) model 3.

Sure, but only barely. The short-range Model 3 weighs 3,549lbs, and the Bolt weighs 3,563lbs. Your complaining about a difference of 14 pounds (less than 1%). The Bolt also delivers 18 extra driving miles of range, which explains a small portion of the weight difference.

> the lead aero guy called it a nightmare

Of course he did, they sacrificed aerodynamics for comfort. Some of the big complaints with Chevy's last electric car (Volt) was that it was too low to the ground and too short -- all great things for aerodynamics, but all things that actual humans complained about. So they made the Bolt a proper hatchback -- taller and sit higher -- to make it nicer for the occupants. Chevy, shockingly, listened to their customers and made some changes they requested.

The Bolt is perfectly fine car. Obviously it's not as sexy or luxurious as a Model 3. But the Bolt is not in any way a "shitty car" -- by most accounts, it's fast, comfortable and reliable. In fact, the Bolt is arguably the best electric car you can actually purchase in the US today -- and likely will be for the next year or so until Tesla solves their production struggles.
That building had defective/improperly specced modifications. It's extremely unusual for a high-rise fire to cause that sort of death and destruction.

I keep reading this and sounds false to me. Why do you ignore the illegal drugs market? Lots of people uses bitcoin daily to buy and sell substances. You might have a moral opinion about that fact, but it remains true. You might think it's a small, or temporary market, but I disagree based on the history of humans and drugs use.

While I don't fully disagree that speculation might be the main drive of the price, let's not forget that the are some real, big, uses of bitcoin.

I guess that depends on whether or not zeros were valid in the first instance. My post assumed they were. I agree with your point if zero would be outside of the valid range in the first instance.

I guess the key is our ability to extrapolate, imagine things from a single picture. When a child is shown a proper image of a cat and it sees a cartoon cat, it has done that extrapolation of cat's body contours. Or rather I would say it is some sort of meta data that is learnt out of each experience like the way we model in OO - class and object instances. We somehow are able to abstract the class out of a image even if it is just a single image and I feel it is the meta data that gets refined over time rather than the storing pixels of actual images.

One of the most powerful features of Presenter-became-PowerPoint was to change the font. Ironically, these days there are still problems when trying to share slides between computers if you used a custom font (or even a default font for another language e.g. Chinese).

I get around that problem by exporting my slides to JPG, then creating a new slideshow with the photos. The file size is larger, but the layout is guaranteed to work.

I used the same trick to put a slideshow on my old digital camera, and connected it using composite video to give a presentation in school (about 2006). I didn't want to carry a heavy laptop just to show slides.

I wish a simple WiFi-VGA gadget could be built to let smartphones show presentations too. There are some HDMI dongles (Chromecast) but not all projector stations have HDMI available.

True, it's not as low resource as a single file. But with the official Alpine based images it's not too bad.

Is the whole stock market a pyramid scheme?

A market isn't a pyramid scheme just because you didn't enter it at the beginning (that's also true for real estate).

The alternative would be a market where you'd benefit more if you enter last, which means there would be no incentive for anybody to enter first and create the market. That's why the alternative doesn't exist and markets do reward the first mover.

Scala needs to interoperate with other Java languages, and there is no platform-wide spec for supplying such metadata.

Even if there were, it couldn't be statically known at compile time in the case where a library written in Scala is being called by code that was written at a later date.

And even without that consideration, types still cannot be statically known in cases where you're being handed objects whose type is not determined until run time. Which happens all the @$#% time in Scala, due to its use of algebraic data types.

So, e.g., Java's run-time has no real way of expressing the type `Option<List<String>>`. You can declare it and get some compile-time checking, but that's all erased before the final bytecode is generated. There's no such thing as `Option<List<String>>.class`. This really limits what you can do with generic code. Scala added its own parallel type tag system to get around that. It's weird as heck and only really usable from other Scala code, though.

Annoying and hurtful, yes, but at the same time, he's not wrong - you fucked up, you did bad and you should feel bad. The upside of this rant too is that the author is not "fired", as such, but told to shape up or gtfo. In a lot of companies, mistakes are accepted, fixed, and forgiven without adding a bit of emotion to it. I think adding this kind of emotion will have a bigger impact and will make the receiving end do better.

GP was referring to the feature that getters/setters are invoked with property access. Swift's didSet/willSet distinction is unrelated to this feature. ES6 JavaScript, for instance, has this feature with just get/set methods.

In Java (and JS) there's a separate, all-knowing garbage collector, while swift is reference counted. In an ARC runtime, the didSet/willSet distinction avoids explicit calls to release the object, which is pretty clearly a good thing on the programmer's end. You can debate whether the benefits of full garbage collectors outweigh their performance characteristics, but given ARC, the didSet/willSet distinction definitely makes sense.

SEEKING FREELANCER Infrastructure Engineering:

We are working with a large enterprise client in the entertainment space helping them transition their entire infrastructure and build pipelines to AWS. This client manages a large amount of digital content and media workflows and wants to move that all to a secure infrastructure in the cloud. The team will also be providing this infrastructure as a service for the rest of the company.

As an infrastructure engineer, you will be responsible for working with the team in building and scaling the AWS cloud infrastructure with Terraform. This role will not be simply administering the infrastructure, but be part of architecting and building a scalable and secure cloud infrastructure on AWS.

Core requirements as experience with AWS, Terraform and Cloud Networking. Additional experience that would be nice to have is Docker, Git and Ansible.

Client is based in the Western US so it would be preferable to be based in that area so you can occasionally visit the client. Remote is also possible for strong candidates.
