Rubbish. The status of being a proletarian has nothing to do with in what form the labour is expended. Neither Marx nor pre-Marxist Socialists make any specific mention of manual labour. But if you really want to go this way, a growing number of the student population in Europe are turning to manual labour (Uber and Deliveroo).

Proletarians are and since their emergence the vast majority of the working population.

One data point: As a Canadian, I rarely have cash in my pocket. I can go months at a time without handling cash. Mainly I encounter it these days when I buy & sell stuff privately (via Used.ca or Facebook or whatever). Otherwise I basically use Visa/Apple Pay for everything.

Ohh good idea to save that sort of thing as a bookmark. Thanks!
great idea, great execution and even greater insights shared in the post.
Cash has diminished so greatly over my lifetime. When I was a kid, I remember my grandfather would carry over $1000 in cash on business trips, since he could charge basically just the hotel and some restaurants. Even at hotel and restaurants, tips were cash only. He would keep maybe $100 in his billfold and the rest would be 100 dollar bills hidden about his person.

This was the mid 80s.

$100 in tens and twenties would be nearly $300 in twenties and fifties. Ten 100 dollar bills would now need to be thirty (or we would need a 300 dollar note). If my grandfather went on three trips in the same calendar month, inflation adjusted for 2017, he'd get audited by the Bank Secrecy act ($10k in cash transfers in the same month).

For cash to get relegated to a curiosity at this point only requires the government to not change anything (larger denominations, increase the limits for triggering money laundering audits &c.)

Fukushima? Three Mile Island (partial only, though)?
That's a (partial) melt-down every 24 years, if we start counting the nuclear age with 1945 and count till today.

If we use the numbers for civilian power plants, we need to start with the commision date of U.S.S.R. power plant "Obninsk", wich was connected to the public grid in 1954. If ending the count today, that would be 21 years. Or, if we take the last melt-down as the reset value for our clock, we will find it at 19 years, for every (partial) meltdown. With more than 500 new nuclear power plants either planned or in production, well....

Let's see, whether Molten Salt Reactors are going to show as an overall positive development...They would make things, as far as I am informed, at least a little bit safer, till we have real fusion power.
That mentality of competition definitely comes into play, but I think that's a small part of it. Much more has to do with illiciting a reaction from the streamer. Like the article mentioned, a huge donation can cause someone to break down in tears, and step away from the camera. Even small donations can be emotional for smaller streamers, especially those humble enough to sincerely thank every one. There's also the opposite, where people will donate to streamers who will put themselves through challenges for it, like taking shots or eating ghost peppers.

In terms of the scandal, yes, that was and still is a thing. Generally called "chargebacks", if a donor cancels the card and reports it as fraudulent, they have to pay nothing, and the streamer often has to pay a processing fee.

Two stories there: I know a streamer who pissed off one of his moderators, and the mod decided to donate to the channel repeatedly in small amounts, and cancel all of them. He had to pay a $20 fee for each one, it ended up costing hundreds.

I also had a buddy who was raising money for the charity Extra Life earlier this year, who had someone drop a donation of over $1k. The next week it was charged back, assumably costing the charity money. Some people are just not great people.
> going to push the resources "wasted" to whatever's required to create hard drives

Not if buying hard drives to mine with is unprofitable.
There are huge amounts of free hard drive space already paid for. If a nontrivial fraction of that is used for mining---at negligible cost---then commercial mining may find itself unable to compete.
I just had an idea this morning for how to fund universities that I think could solve many of the issues associated with student loans. The idea is that instead of students paying tuition, they would sign contracts to pay a fraction of their income for several years after graduation, e.g. 1% of income for 15 years (perhaps with a cap). Enforcement could be difficult, but this would much better align incentives with the desired result, i.e. to educate! It would also incentivise universities to help alumni get and hold high paying jobs.

Starting such a university would require a lot of startup capital, but it would become self sustaining in less than a decade.

They tried, it got too much resistance. There are essentially two anti-housing groups:

1. People who have a vested interest in inflating housing prices, e.g. because they own property

2. People who seriously, genuinely believe that more market-rate housing won't help affordability

Targeting just affordable & teacher housing swings group (2), which combined with the YIMBYs is (hopefully) enough to get policy passed.

Not exactly. You save on deallocations, but you still have the allocator doing system calls and then fitting the sizes you want into the heap. Granted the heap probably doesn't have to work hard to make them fit, but it still allocates. I don't know if under the hood system calls to mmap or virtual_alloc block other processes calling the same functions.

Hm... Have you ever played in ARAM? ARAM is mode where you have only one line with 5vs5 players on it. Often it's much shorter than regular Dota, LOL matches but give same "experience points" to buy/open some in game items.

You can encounter farming bots there, they just do one thing : go to enemy and die. It isn't fun to play with them. Once there were 3 bots in one match. Servers were infested with them for weeks it was impossible to play ARAM back then.

I'd like to see some analysis of the psychological side of this. I'm not convinced these sorts of previews/placeholders are a positive thing, I find most of them rather distracting. The SVG approach is fine as a novelty, but to assume that this is the best approach from a user point of view is quite a big assumption. My intuition is that the hard edges of SVG are more distracting (attracting your eyes to something that isn't going to give them meaningful information), but that a blurred image messes with your eyes a bit more. I wouldn't really like either of them to be used on the majority of sites.

I prefer something very subtle to show that there is an image that is supposed to be there. If it is going to show a single color rectangle, I prefer it be translucent so as to attract even less attention.
I went to that page, it doesn't really tell me what it is. I'm not watching the video, should be clear from the text. I scrolled and read the text, it just makes bold claims, it's not really telling me at all how it works, whatever it is.

Implement a WASM JIT in kernelspace & you don't have to have a userspace while still having hot code hopefully optimized to remove bounds checking. Now all your programs are WASM modules & we can replace your CPU with some random architecture that doesn't have to care about supporting more than ring0. Oh why not implement a nearly-WASM CPU? Probably just change branches to GOTO. Now the only program people care about, their browser, can have a dead simple JIT for this architecture, with WASM-in-the-browser being nearly as fast as any other program

The new sequence IDs are the most interesting things in this release I think. Having an officially supported cross datacenter replication strategy would be real nice.

Lots of folks will be mad, but removing multiple mapping types is a nice change too. It was a feature that never really made sense. Index-per-type was always the better strategy, even going back to the 0.23 days.

As others in this thread will no doubt point out though - the ES folks are moving awfully fast. I still support 1.7.5 clusters that will take heroic efforts to update. I'd love to use the new features on those clusters, but there simply isn't a valid business case to take on the risk. This isn't like small NPM packages that you can update on a whim - some of these systems require terabytes of re-indexing to upgrade :/

Yeah we got the same problems with ES. I do think we "overused" it a bit by often using it as a secondary index/viewmodel store of the sorts. In hindsight that probably wasn't the smartest thing to do. If we had only used it as a search index we would have been better off.

Hi,

Interesting, haven't thought about that, will probably make that small change in the future on this lib and some others of my libs

Thanks!
I'm not a fan of this style of coding. It's not just the stack space. When you call methods all over the place it can result in inefficient code. And yes, I understand that I wrote "can" in that sentence. We're talking about a case where the author wants the compiler to be even smarter than it already is. I guess that's my point. Using these kinds of abstractions results in a reliance on the compiler to make things efficient. OTOH using abstractions can make things simpler and more understandable for the programmer. But there's that word "can" again.

> Humans used psychoactive substances for centuries, usually under the supervision of a shaman or some type of religious figure to undergo a journey.

I don't have a position on legalizing psychoactive mushrooms, but I don't think this is a good argument.

For example, humans also used lead to sweeten wine for centuries, but that's not evidence that lead is harmless.

I'm sure we could come up with many more such examples.

> If you're writing a loop, do you expect your tools to show you a trace of every iteration in the loop? Of course not, because that would be silly. If you really want to trace each iteration, you can add your own tracing.

At least you can know at which iteration you are. If iterate over 12 elements and my loop counter is at 134753745, I can pinpoint what went wrong much more easily.

You can currently buy psychoactive mushrooms in stores in The Netherlands.

Unless something has changed within the last year, this is no longer the case (in Amsterdam at least). They do sell something called "Magic Truffles" but AFAIK they're no where near as potent.

It was possible to buy mushrooms there until a few years back but apparently it was putting stress on paramedics and police due to "drug tourists" having freak outs from performing a "trifecta", cannabis, ecstasy and shrooms in one weekend and having a little episode.
I was in Sweden last week and this caught me by surprise. A significant number of the restaurants and shops I visited had signs indicating cash only.

I'm used to the US pattern where businesses prefer cash, to the point of refusing to accept any cards at all, because processing fees cut into their margins.
