And a financial system that allows some group somewhere to decide if i'm allowed to buy (or sell!) some things, can lock my funds at any time for many reasons, and can track and sell information about what and where I bought things to any number of various 3rd parties is also similarly "unusable" for some.

It's a tradeoff like anything else. For some people, the risk is worth the benefit. For others it's not. Still more find the risk worth the benefits for a subset of their money, and not for the rest.

All of these "financial systems" can happily coexist, and none of them are completely broken, they just prioritize different things and make different tradeoffs.

Also, bitcoin doesn't require being a lawless land where everyone can do anything all the time. It's like cash, but electronic.

If a thief breaks into your house and steals $10,000 in cash, will the police give you $10,000? If they find the guy and he still has it, sure! But what if he burned it? or spent it? now you are fucked.

It's the same with bitcoin. if they catch the person who did this, the courts can force him to return the money with threat of lots of jail time and more. If he doesn't have it, then the users that had it stolen are fucked.
Perhaps you are making the worst possible interpretation possible of my statements because it sounds so logical to you?
To some degree WordPerfect also failed due to a classic "Innovator's Dilemma" situation. They had a huge customer base of MS-DOS users and tried to keep them happy by maintaining a similar user experience in the Windows edition. And they were fairly successful it that goal, but the product ended up looking weird and counter intuitive to new users who were familiar with the standard Windows look and feel.

The lesson is that sometimes you need to have the courage to disregard what existing customers want.
I don't know that you can separate the two: if you hire remote it's easier to hire more senior engineers.
> "Gamers deserve better"? What is that supposed to mean?

It means they deserve better than all the garbage that's been pushed out over the last 5 years or so since Unity and Unreal became free, and Steam relaxed its submission standards. There's been a massive wave of terrible "games" that people are just forced to accept because they don't know any better.

I'm not hating on indie game devs in general, there are of course plenty of amazing ones. But the real problem is this trend of a small group of devs forming a "studio", coming up with really ambitious plans for a huge game after learning Unity for a month, and then releasing early access garbage like PUBG and abandoning it when they realize making a triple-A game takes years of effort by a vast team of expert professionals.
TF2 was their first major release that was free-to-play with purchasable cosmetic items, but their games have never been pay-to-win. They were historically pay-once-to-own, free to continue playing.
Complaining about virtue signalling is just a bid to define the nature of the conversation, which is the object of bad-faith discourse; not to engage with the person you are nominally conversing with, but to demonstrate the ability to out maneuver them as a performative gesture to an online audience. Hence the popularity of all those "Snarky Talker DESTROYS member of reviled out-group!!"

It all depends what you calculate to be the biggest risks that you're protecting against. If it's collapse of world civilization, or at least your own country's institutions, then storing your own coins makes sense, and yeah a hardware wallet is a better way to store it than on your computer.

On the other hand, if you're more worried about getting hacked or simply losing your private keys, having your house broken into and the wallet stolen, etc. you're probably better off putting it in Coinbase with a strong password and 2FA enabled. The same way you protect other things you care about like your bank account and 401k.

It's odd to me that this is so highly frowned upon in the cryptocurrency communities though. People with very little knowledge about computers or infosec are constantly pressured into storing their own coins, which is fundamentally pretty user-unfriendly just due to the irreversible nature of it where you can't make a single mistake.
If you need lexicographically sortable uuids, you have a very different problem.
There are a lot of documentaries (Earthlings, Dominion) or books (Eating Animals, Fast Food Nation) on animal agriculture that would give you a better counterpoint to #1 than I will in this comment. Or just Google image search "factory farm", "battery cage", "gestation crate".

If #2 justified animal agriculture it could also be used to justify human slavery, provided you intentionally bred humans for that purpose.
I'm confused, Epic just launched their store this month. What games are these "previous transactions" for? Do you have a specific list of games that sold with the previous 70/30 cut, and for how long?

EDIT: From what I remember, the only games on the Epic launcher were Unreal Tournament, Paragon, Fortnite and Shadow Complex.
While optimization is indeed the hallmark of Haiku, the above difference does not matter much these days, of course. What could be a big deal, though, is the (missing) support for popular platforms with somewhat limited resources, such as the Raspberry Pi. Would not it be nice to have a smart TV or a monitor with Haiku built in?
The PUBG sales numbers were visible to everyone in realtime: during the heyday of PUBG Steamspy was still accurate, and the game was only being sold on Steam. Any visibility Epic got from the licensing revenue would have been irrelevant.
They're different pricing models. Fortnite is free to play and PUBG has an up-front cost. Copies sold/downloaded or peak active player-base is probably a more relevant comparison.

> Uses Crockford's base32 for better efficiency and readability

Ugh. Crockford's base32 character set doesn't actually solve any of the problems it sets out to solve. Using it suggests to me some uncritical thinking.

It[0] says things like L is excluded, because "[uppercase] L Can be confused with 1". Ignoring the part where that is wildly inaccurate for any font that I've ever seen, why not then also remove G, 6, B, 8, Z, 2, S, or 5?

Reducing 1/I/i/L/l to just 1 does little to resolve visual ambiguity for users, because a user could just as easily read l or I instead of 1 or O instead of 0, because users don't know your made-up rules, which causes real problems because you often don't control both sides of the channel.

"Following paragraphs" is an ambitious term for barely one line of text. You have claimed there is some unspecified promised land of reuse through unspecified transformations and combinations, but you really haven't shown anything that's not equally achievable with "mere" sequential application. It still looks like a matter of aesthetics - that you prefer a more syntax-laden functional style, but not one that's objectively better.
>You can't honestly claim that's not mainstream.

I see that minimaxir has been downvoted so it seems "mainstream" has different meanings.

I don't play video games and don't keep up with them. I've never heard of PUBG. But nevertheless, I did hear about Fortnite. Why? Because a business analyst on Youtube did a business case study[0] about Epic Games and the development history of Fortnite. That was unusual because he typically analyzes non-game companies[1] like Amazon, Uber, Stripe, GoPro, Theranos, etc.

My point is that there must have been a noticeable step change in popularity level between PUBG and Fortnite such that it entered his consciousness and justified a business case study from him -- which in turn entered my consciousness. If "mainstream" isn't the right word to use to describe Fortnite's greater reach to non-gamers, I don't know what a substitute word would be.

Also, I know what the "floss dance" is and that it's in Fortnite. If PUBG or other video games have named dances, I don't even know of their existence.

I lost 1 btc due to an early Trezor UI bug ("bug in 3rd party cryptographic javacript library used by mytrezor.com on OS X"). Fixed years ago and they did reimburse me, their team is great. I fully support the product, but yes it's evidence that nothing is perfect.

One of the constraints is that lexicographic sorting must order the nodes by generation time. This precludes wrapping. It's a little weird that they didn't just reserve or add some bits for sorting within milliseconds before or instead of having to increment the randomness.
What does 128-bit compatibility with UUID mean? I would expect that it will be interoperability on binary level (e.g. allowing to store ULID in database columns of UUID type), but UUID has type information encoded in it - how can ULID address this requirement?
Perhaps you overestimated your comedic ability.
I’m in a devils advocate kinda mood, so hopefully people here can take a spirited prod:

So where does equality fit into this? I don’t think this phenomena is so rampant that double digit percentages of women are doing this (though I have no idea), so this whole thing probably isn’t that big of a deal. But honestly, if this entitles women to an easy and maybe even comfortable way of making big dollars in their youth/lack of talent, what will we do to enable young men to also pay for school/living/etc in their youth? I mean if I could send some self destructing photos to older women in college with no social/professional ramifications and make 1-3k a month, I would never have worked the shitty part time jobs I did. Doesn’t really seem like an egalitarian idea for half of the population to be able to take the easy path while the other toils away.
Regarding multiple nodes, Wouldn't each node generate a different random number? It mentions not requiring a MAC but it should use some way to seed the rng differently per node, right? However this would defeat the lexicographic sorting.
This applies to all OSes if you use binary proprietary drivers. But it’s of course the same also in the case of firmware/bios updates that are even lower level than kernel.

But on the other hand - If hackers own the hw manufacturers systems in Taiwan, chances are your original firmware was already bad.

My wife owns and operates a private medical practice (she's an audiologist), and it's insane the way she has to do billing and accounts receivable.

When a patient asks about prices she quotes them her standard price for the necessary services and calls their insurance company to confirm that the patient is covered and check what kind of copay the patient needs to pay. Assuming the patient is satisfied with the results of that call she provides the services, bills the patient for their copay, and files a claim with their insurance company.

Several months later (and no real way to predict when), the insurance company will provide an "offer" for probably somewhere around 60% of the quoted price (though this varies dramatically as well). She can accept the offer, in which case she's inevitably required by the terms to eat the difference instead of attempting to collect the balance from the patient. Or she can reject it and attempt to collect from the patient, in which case they will likely be very confused and angry as to why their insurance isn't being accepted, despite her explicitly confirming that it would be covered before they purchased her services.

To be clear, none of this is negotiated or agreed upon in any meaningful sense. She doesn't have any special relationship with any insurance provider. Instead, the providers use their massive power differential to dictate terms. She wouldn't be able to stay in business if she didn't accept at least some insurance, but they'd be quite happy to never write her another check.

She knows what her price schedule for everything is, but it doesn't end up mattering that much since she doesn't know when or how much she'll ultimately be reimbursed except in an extremely broad aggregate sense. The worst part is that she has to dramatically overprice her services so that she can ultimately get adequately reimbursed to keep the lights on, which just ends up hurting the patients who don't have insurance.
Good point, I should have written "for machine learning algorithms on problems that the industry is currently interested in".
The OP was talking about the Unreal Engine Marketplace (for selling game assets to developers), not about the Epic Games store (for selling finished games to players).

I see the source of your confusion though, since the article was never talking about the UE Marketplace.
This is right. The way I have setup my home office I need a 3x wire cables for my raspberry pis and this is probably causing an undervolt. I might have to connect a display/vnc and check for warnings.

Thanks.

It's not hugely worse. So, the reason it's a whole order of magnitude worse in absolute figures is that New York is a whole order of magnitude larger.

There are probably more accurate figures in New York. California has a really high percentage of rough sleepers compared to New York, in part due to mild temps and dry weather. I have participated in a homeless program that did the annual point in time count. There are serious challenges in counting rough sleepers. You probably see a lot more undercounting of street people than of homeless people using the shelter system. So my guess is the real per capita figures are actually pretty close.

San Francisco has a fairly small footprint and good public transit. It has insanely high housing costs. California has underbuilt housing for decades and has serious systemic problems in that regard.

There is evidence that individuals voluntarily choose to relocate to California while homeless, in part due to the weather. There is also evidence that sometimes other states just issue them a bus ticket to California.

The high cost of housing plus lovely weather contribute to California having more chronic, long term homeless. These people wind up typically being the most visibly homeless. The longer you are on the street, the harder it gets to fit in to normal society for various reasons.

The figures I've seen (some linked above) suggest that California overall seems to have a lot more homeless per capita than the rest of the nation. The most destitute homeless tend to gravitate to the bigger cities because that's where soup kitchens et al are found.

He has worked there much longer than myself yet he ends up with most of the drudge work. Instead of working on cool full-stack JS PWAs and SPAs he is stuck putting content on WordPress sites and fixing WP plugins

Your friend’s mistake is that he is too professional, doing the work that needs doing and pays everyone else’s salaries, while other more selfish people prioritise getting some more buzzwords on their CV. I have fallen victim to this mentality myself. It may be too late if he has been typecast, he’ll need to reboot by going somewhere else. But it’s a sad state of affairs that being conscientious is a career killer.
Look no further than Portugal and their solution to heroin problem - decriminalization of drugs. This enables NGOs to work with people more easily, removes the stigma, provides access to save consumption sites and safer drugs, allows for funding of new drug-abuse programs (such as better access to anti-opioids for medical staff), etc...

Plenty of games have had elimination modes for a long time. This is really just an evolution of that adding the mechanic of the map edges closing in.
The issue with Dayz, H1Z1 and PUBG was that they were made by developers that 1. knew very little about engine optimizations and 2. rushed to add features as quickly as possible with no foresight.

This lead to all 3 games being laggy, which is quite bad for a shooter. It also lead to the pace of development slowing down to a crawl after a few months, which I assume was due to their spaghetti code being hard to work with.

Epic at least has experience with game engines and development, and have managed to keep up the pace and performance.
I was given a take home project to complete as part of an interview process for one company. I was given 48 hours to implement a basic chat server in Golang. I didn't know Golang, but the hiring manager thought it'd be a good challenge to see how quickly I learn new things and deliver results. I spent an entire weekend learning Go and tried to be honest about using only 48 hours to write the application. I wasn't given any skeleton code, had to implement the whole thing from scratch. I never made an entire web app from scratch especially in language I wasn't familiar with so the learning experience felt like drinking from a firehose. I learned a ton but couldn't complete the project because it was a bit too much on top of my full-time job and going through interviews with other companies, so I submitted my barely functioning code in shame and knew that was automatic rejection right there. I wonder if I'm just a shitty developer or if given enough time I would have been able to make it work.
But why did the genre blow up only now? I think that the mass culture projects massive amount of anxiety present in todays societies, and it is also visible in video games. I don't see how a bleak and dystopian game of dog-eat-dog, everyone on its own, 1 player wins and the 99 others lose, would be so popular in say 1995.
Crockford Base32 folds those ambiguous characters on reading: l, L, I, and i are treated as 1; o and O are treated as 0. The user doesn’t need to know the rules.

But we have to look deeper. Project management doesn't exist in isolation. Any software development organization will typically have a project management office (PMO) with documented methodology, policies, procedures, templates, best practices, etc. If a particular project had poor project management then why did that happen? Did the PMO fail to provide the right resources? Is the hiring process for project managers faulty? Are we giving project managers the necessary training before assigning them to real projects?

Occasionally individuals really are to blame. But organizations get better results when everyone assumes positive intent by individual employees and focuses on finding process problems.
