What we're seeing isn't the utility of Bitcoin going up, we're seeing what happens when supply meets demand. The total number of Bitcoins that can ever be mined is fixed, but I think the real reason the price is going up is that the current rate of mining can't sustain the rate at which people want to get into crypto. But what change in utility is driving the increase in demand? Right now Bitcoin isn't good at (and no amount of revisionism will change this) it's original purpose of being currency, which is literally Bitcoin's only utility other than the fact that there are a limited number of them. So it's actually less useful now than in the past... meaning the increase in demand is in spite of that change, leading me to believe it's all due to more people wanting crypto.

I feel the same way as you, I think a lot of people who don't know anything about crypto are making rash decisions and it's setting off alarm bells in my head too. I don't even know why people are buying Bitcoin over most alts because to me Bitcoin has so much less utility compared to what BCH, ETH, Monero. Not that Bitcoin is worthless, it's just that it seems like people are only buying it because it has the name "Bitcoin". That's why I think it's going to crash.
There could be a bunch of reasons. Primarily I would think transaction volume would peak as people move to-and-from fiat currencies to spend money at Christmas. It would explain likewise traffic without necessarily having Bitcoin be directly used in the purchasing, which seems much more likely.

The State of UX in 2018
People have been using Basic and similar for ages to successfully implement business logic without generics. What is necessary for business applications is good integration with databases and reading/writing in various data formats.

That typically depends on reflection facilities provided by the language, not genetics. In fact genetics, unless done with extreme care, inevitably makes reflection API more complex. In turn that makes it harder to write readers/writers for typical business formats harming the case of business applications.
I wouldn't compare UK with Japan. The path to permanent residence and citizenship in the UK is clear and straightforward. That has led to a solid number of startups in the UK.
Hardly wasted. When you're travelling you should be relaxing and have some 'me' time, not working.

How I improved our Daily standups with a new agenda and introduction of Scrumile
Only on nightly. In the production-version they activated it in v56, the version before the break. And as I remember there were no real information for the casual user what it means, or what they should do. Not even a choice when autoupdate hit.
You are right, I meant cases [1] , like those that are there in German.

I think most of this can be explained by thinking of Bitcoin not as digital dollars, but as digital gold (a perpetually limited, deflationary value store that is immune to central-bank meddling).

A lot of us in tech are really excited about crypto, but the economic realities mean it's very likely that for any particular token to be treated seriously as a currency it would need central bank support - which is anathema to Bitcoin's stated purpose.
> ... but as soon as I tell someone it all becomes about my (mild) disability.

People are horrible at interacting with their acquaintances or even friends (except for closest ones).

When they meet a friend they look at him and think, "what the hell I'm supposed to say to this guy", then they remember that he wanted to buy a house, great!, now they can talk to them about that ... he already bought a house, great they still can talk about the house, but after a year or so this topic gets stale.

If someone broke a leg, they can talk about the leg, but then the leg heals up and what do you gonna talk about then...

You are very pleasant conversation partner for them because they always know what to ask you about. Don't get mad at them. The reason they bring this up every conversation is not about your specific problem, it's about general human problem of not knowing what to say to another human.
I want to drink your kool-aid.

I feel like they are highly livable if you do not need to work for a living.

Otherwise:

- Adelaide: It's cheap but there are no jobs.

- Brisbane: It's cheap(ish) but there are no(t many) jobs.

- Perth: It's expensive but there are no jobs.

- Sydney: You can't afford it. A one-hour commute is starting to look appealing.

- Melbourne: Can't complain.

They are lovely cities to visit as a tourist. As a worker, there are much better opportunities out there. Australia tech workers have easy access to working visas in practically every country in the world.

I am suggesting there are some rationales for investing in cryptocurrency besides investor profit. I am not arguing for their popularity, but that they do exist. They seem to ascribe different value systems that you might not be considering. In the current market situation, they are probably fairly irrelevant or undermined, but maybe not so in past terms.
Anyone born or naturalized here.

I don't really understand the question.

America has historically prided itself on being a nation of immigrants. We have citizens whose ethnic origins are all over the world. Being an American has nothing to do with your genotype or religion or what gender you're attracted to or any other personal characteristics that could be interpreted as "diversity" and everything to do with your birth certificate or naturalization papers and your passport.

Why should diversity make any difference in "who is American"?
That is just hand waving, it is more than clear that //go:generate, 90's style is the the only way accepted by Go design team.

There is nothing special in Go's type system that hasn't been tried out in 42 years of generics CS research.
I don't think at the speed of thought means you need to verbalize in your head each bit of your code. You can perhaps visualize it. I can think of a snippet of a for loop a lot quicker than I can make the individual declarations of that loop.
What is about to happen seems pretty blatantly obvious at this point. Why it is desirable that it occurs might (or might not) require a bit of domain-specific knowledge. Of course aI’m aware of my professions pretty shitty track record (”predicted nine of the last seven market crashes, missed the big one” yada yada yada so I take no offence at your sarcasm).
Yes - I am actually considering doing this right now. The difficulty is the massive mismatch in valuation between Australian and US companies makes this difficult.

I am a bit surprised that most comments here focus on whether the guy's genuine or not.

What surprised me, in a bad way, is that to challenge a patent you have to have 6k USD to throw away plus the expertise and time (which the article estimates at 60k USD).

IMHO, if the patent ends up overturned, the patent holder should be liable for those costs. In fact, I can't think of any reason why it shouldn't be that way. Can you?
As a disabled person I find this perspective incredibly odd. Why have no hesitation?

I find most people will ask about my disability when I'm doing something that is not affected by it all, they'll start with the 'hope you're not offended but I'm curious, how would you do X?'. This is usually followed by them telling me of a disabled person they know that has a totally different condition but is inspiring.

If you have a strong aversion to private people perhaps you should not ask such personal questions?
I think it's really hard to find out how people want you to react.

I often try to take it as if someone told me they have an exotic animal.
Well, you can always have law punishing for that.

In a couple of countries you can go to prison for saying that the holocaust didn't happen. It's Germany, and Poland (where Germans made the biggest camps where they killed most over 3M Polish Judes).

The most funny thing is how uneducated journalists are. Or maybe that's made on purpose.

They still write "Polish Death Camps" while there were "German Death Camps in Poland". Also huge number of journalists write that there were Nazis, not Germans, despite the fact that the Germans chose Hitler in elections.
I find your comments about technical competency of Australians being less than elsewhere interesting. My own experience over the decades is the opposite. I have had to deal professionally with various fly-in gurus (from the US and Europe) and they have had little success in understanding how we implemented the projects we were involved in.

what was more ridiculous was the major discrepancy in pay. If US or European, then you were paid 3+ times the Australian rates. Yet you couldn't solve what we thought were simple problems.

There is no doubt that there are many who claim technological acumen here who have much less than they advertise. But there are many here who have much more technological acumen than what you find overseas.

The biggest problem is the extensive need to use buzzwords in the various technologically based industries. If you are not up with the latest buzzword craze, you are considered backward and inferior, even though those buzzwords are just a renaming of various "stuff" that has been around for decades.
What Is Advanced Analytics and How Can It Advance Your Organization?
Yes, I am aware of that. I'm not confusing crypto with Bitcoin, actually I'm bullish about crypto in general.

I'm saying that Bitcoin the currency is like pewter or lead compared to BCH or ETHC. That's why it's not gold. It's like a version of gold that's heavier and more useless than some other perpetually limited, deflationary value store.

In fact I think I'm going to start calling Bitcoin "digital lead" because it's so hard to move it around.
It's interesting that generics are so important now but they were almost dropped from .NET schedule as being "academic only": https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dsyme/2011/03/15/netc-gener...
Don't disagree but what often goes unnoticed in this discussion is that there are generics designs out there: https://github.com/golang/proposal/blob/master/design/15292-....

It's not so much "we should add generics but no one is really working on it" it's more "we should add generics and we've tried a dozen designs that haven't really panned out and we're still working on it".

That's what makes me think they will end up happening.

AI in China: Cutting Through the Hype
This is targeted at ML, which means this is targeted at Linux. Which means us system administrators have to deal with the piece of shit that is the Nvidia binary driver.

- it doesn't work with Wayland

- it doesn't work in UEFI mode with CSM enabled. There are motherboards available that won't boot in UEFI mode with CSM disabled without a monitor attached.

- it doesn't work with Secure Boot

- about half of their releases fail to work with at least one of the pieces of software we try to use it with. The current release 384.90-0ubuntu0.16.04.2 in particular crashes our software.

And for some reason Nvidia has the reputation for being good at drivers. FirePro was also really bad, but I haven't had to deal with that for years now...
The author, who speaks of himself in the third person, was a parent and in his forties when he wrote that.

Perhaps the article is not a comment on whether making conservative life choices is or isn't cool. Perhaps the article is not a comment on whether a degree in CS does or doesn't provide personal edification or improves your programming.

Perhaps the article is nothing more than what it claims to be: A comment on why a certain type of conservative company requires a degree, and their opinion of people who embrace or eschew conservative life choices.

Maybe because then you could pick on small patents that a competitor isn't really using to hit them for 6k/60k a pop? Of course, that would only work if they have several dodgy patents, so you argue they should just be more careful.

Disclaimer: I'm just speculating and know nothing about patent law.
It is a common mistake, I remember that not so long ago my government (Spain) had to amend a law because the initial text incorrectly said % instead of percentage points.

I used to work at Target and they had a system in place that would time the cashier from when they scanned the first item to the time the payment was placed and gave a letter grade based on how fast the experience was for the customer.

It was a bit of gamification but also served as way for managers to see which cashiers were slow and not meeting company standards.
“If you can't joke about the most horrendous things in the world, what's the point of jokes? What's the point in having humor? Humor is to get us over terrible things.”

This includes less horrendous things, like the big parties behind LE that request donations? Akamai, Mozilla, Cisco, OVH, Google, etc, I'm pretty sure the running costs of LE is nihil for them. Why ask for donations?
Basic got generics long time ago in Visual Basic.NET.

I have been coding since early 80's, naturally I have delivered lots of production code without generics.

Oberon, one of my favorite language family and influence to Go, which I used for a while, also did not had generics.

But that was in 1996, when generic programming was WIP in ANSI C++, ML compilers were starting to be adopted, Ada was too expensive, Java and .NET were yet to come.

In 2017 I only use static typed languages without support for genericity when forced to do so.

Funny trivia. Recently, our firewall was blocking a ton of smaller websites. Wasn't sure why. Finally got on the phone with Sophos (our firewall manufacturer) to figure out what was going on. Support guy led me through some troubleshooting steps, we discovered that it's blocking Lets Encrypt certificates for whatever reason. He agreed with me that's strange and he'll look into why Lets Encrypt is getting blocked. So strange. Not related to anything at all, just topical trivia.
This is totally nonsense.

Nothing near this but I do the following:

- Use tree style tabs

- Use vimium ff for the ^ binding, toggles between the two tabs most recently viewed

- Tabs means "read this ASAP"

- Bookmarks toolbar means "read it later"

- Other bookmarks folder is the bookshelf, for later potential reference

- Completions only come from bookmarks

- Bookmark heavily

- Make sure bookmarks have meaningful and findable names

Nowadays the only problem I have is linkrot. I have written a python script that analyses my places.sqlite, and it reports ~%8 linkrot, although some of that is SSL errors and some keyword search bookmarks. I'll try to extend the script so that it tries to change the likns that actually 404 to web archive ones where possible and safe. But other than this finding thing is easy for me these days. Also, DDG helps. It's my default search engine since some years I guess by now, and the ! searches have proven to be a very nice thing to have, albeit I've only scratched the surface with regards to them.
> I don't see how generics are needed to deal with "complex business logic".

Complex business logic really has no place in Go. I would advise people to use more expressive languages (ideally with a modern type system). Go was designed for low-level network systems programming and is not well suited to more high-level problems, despite what the hype train might claim. I see the future as a polyglot one. Folks should use the most appropriate language for whatever domain they are currently working in and not let their careers be defined by any one language or technology.
This co-working thing can backfire a bit. I work alone in a shared office. There are plenty of people around, but they are all in teams and no one really talks other people from not their team / company.
I don't know. The example was clear to me.
People often (incorrectly) use "%" instead of writing out "percentage points". Percentage points increase is the correct figure to use here I think, it's more informative to state that the increase is 21 percentage points than that the improvement is ~50%.

I've seen people use Docker for this purpose, even on Mac/Windows. Personally, that seems a bit like using a howitzer where a flyswatter will do, especially since a lot of performance gains are going to be negated by Docker's virtualization on Mac and Windows.
100% correct. It is a lifestyle disease and the reason your doctor won't tell you is because the health industry is built around treatment, not prevention, and so your doctor was never taught this. It's through no ill intent, it just never made good business since to teach doctors much about nutrition or to fund much of the research doctors may prefer to have before adopting new advice. Drug companies on the other hand do bury study results that don't help them, and the food industry does the same and intentionally misleads the public about making healthy diet choices.

Eating whole food plant based diet with moderate exercise usually reverses T2 diabetes and definitely prevents it.
At least that is my general impression, that the way C++ evolved, many of its features are way more complex to implement than Ada ones.

The context dependent grammar, lookup rules, ODR, SFINAE, all the semantic interactions of template meta-programming,...

Then again that is just my perception.
> the cost of keeping them open is not that high (at least in Firefox, where they simply scroll out of view).

As a way to save some memory, if you haven't disabled history and set Firefox up such that it reloads your session when you quit and reopen, you can just restart it every now and then, and only the focused tab will get eagerly loaded.

C# was originally trying to copy Java, a language that took influence from C (weak types retrofitted) and Smalltalk (no static types at all). Industry has since learned a lot about the tremendous value that types bring. Other forms of static analysis are now gaining popularity too.

The person in the article is 'jailed', because someone publicizes his comment or reports it to authority.

Talk about missing the point.
I've been searching for a room in a foreign city since I'm going there for exchange studies. What I've missed is a map that would highlight an area on the map that is within a specified travel time using public transit. Some approximation could be done by picking points on concentric circles and checking travel times for those places, I imagine. Given that Google Maps provides an API for public transit directions, I haven't checked.
