VS Code comes default with "you need to turn this on" when it comes to invasive telemetry. If you don't want it at all, you must compile it yourself (as there are chunks of the telemetry you can't turn off without a compile flag). When you compile it yourself, it's unclear whether or not you can actually use the plugins that exist.

Without plugins, you are left with a text editor of only nominal use and mediocre novelty. That, or enabling telemetry. That's a pretty coercive pattern.

My statements still stand. The fact that there are many users of the hardware simply means that there might be many potential funders of a feature like this, or that it is more likely for someone to fix the problem for free in the near future.
Firstly, macOS is a far and away superior experience, given the alternatives, secondly it has better applications, or the Mac versions are better than for other platforms and thirdly it allows development on all platforms with a minimum of fuss.

Overall it's just more productive and pleasant. If there were a practical alternative I'd jump in a second.

Developing for all platforms is a commercial reality, regardless of what I think, but wanting freedom to develop software for any platform without a corporate's approval is not unreasonable. The complaint applies to Google and Microsoft to some degree as well.

Only slightly relevant to the topic, there was a capacitor failure in Sydney in 2004 that stopped trains on 6 lines during the morning commute causing 100,000 passengers to be stranded and unable to get to work.
Like all complex failures, there was more than one contributing factor, but if the capacitor didn't fail the trains wouldn't have stopped.

It is actually other way around.

No one mines cryptos where energy in less supply because energy prices tend to be high. The current mining rigs in China are almost exclusively located in regions where energy is cheap and in oversupply. China has many power-plants that must run at certain capacity floor and despite of that the demand is much lower. It makes so much sense to let that energy be used to mine cryptos which is like store of that value. This way energy is not wasted.

Chinese move has less to do with energy or environment but more about undermining a threat to their monopoly on currency.

Bitcoin mining has a potential to push innovation to invest more in alternative and greener energy sources.

I think this goes a bit too much in the "imprecise" direction, so much so that it doesn't convey actual useful information (at least in those images shown). First off, short-term weather forecasts are not inaccurate, for the most part, so knowing that the temperature will be 21C (±1 degree) is more informative than knowing it'll be "brownish mass". Secondly, the heatmap style makes more sense when it's overlaid on top of an actual map, and you have an actual scale to interpret it.

What does "cool", "warm", "warmer" mean in here?

That being said, the images look pretty nifty, so it has that going for it.

Advertising - including subsets of advertising like including models or playing on insecurities - is only a small subset of the discipline of "Marketing". Most of Marketing is about finding out what people want and need, how to deliver it, and how to let people know your delivery of their need-fulfillment is available.

Gimmicks are only needed if you can't figure out what people need or can't deliver it.

Bringing this up because Silicon Valley would be building much better products if our venture-funded companies hired marketers - not marketers who work on advertisements, social media, etc, I know we hire plenty of those - But the kind of marketers who rigorously research consumer needs and creatively find ways the technical capacity of companies can be deployed to meet those needs. User testing is only a small subset of market research, and it's sloppy, lazy, and ultimately very shortsighted to limit market research to user testing and data mining.
Why don't people rail like this against the aluminum industry? It's just as wasteful. Bitcoin provides substantial utility and value to society, the energy to secure bitcoin is a cost just the same as the energy to smelt aluminum.

In Linux, you don't even need to recompile the kernel. You can simply pass the "nousb" parameter at boot.
Then why did they even build it there? You know what the demand is going to be in the near future and you know what capacity you're designing for. Was this built purely for mining? Because if so, the money used to build this could have been used elsewhere.

People often bring this up when talking about bitcoin mining but it makes no sense to me. How can this be true (and the whole truth)? It sounds like the kind of argument that bitcoin supporters would spread happily. Which I used to be, by the way. I GPU mined back when it was all fun and games. I used to also doubt the claims that bitcoin uses the power of a small country. I assumed some journalist looked at the difficulty, derived the number of hashes that need be done, looked at an average computer in their office, and voila. But then I did the math, taking the hash rate and figuring in the most optimal case, using only the most efficient miners, and to my surprise it's true. A small country of power just being wasted. I'm all for proof of stake networks, but bitcoin just has to die, the sooner the better.
This is such a good overview, I feel that an academic version of this idea should be given in software development 101 classes.

Well, in Austria there are a lot of people going to the dentist to Hungary as well because it's cheaper. The situation is a bit more subtle than you pretend it is.

Health insurance typically only covers the minimum at the dentist, and almost nothing of what is considered "cosmetic" or would be good in the long-run (e.g. oral hygiene, braces).
It gets expensive quite fast.

(Yikes) I feel compelled to remind the folks complaining about webhooks arriving out of order of the fallacies of distributed computing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallacies_of_distributed_compu...

For goodness sakes, log webhooks to a queue and rebuild the object graph later by probing their API. I would be absolutely blown away if Stripe recommended that folks attempt to process these inline (simple tutorial-level example code notwithstanding).

EDIT: And for your own sanity, assume 50% of the webhooks you expected to arrive didn't. Schedule a periodic task to scrape transactions from their API.
>and the wars created
Meanwhile, there's incentive to operate high transaction volumes, migrating token values from wallet to wallet to wallet, so as to bury illegal activity deep in the ledger, to the point of overflow, so that it's costly and painful to index and extract identities and establish relationships, while building evidence to throw people in jail.

So the idea that there will always be a rational amount of activity is laughable. There's always an incentive for excessive noise, when illegal activity is involved, so as to drown out the ability to keep a watchful eye on criminal behavior.
That's quite interesting. I live in rural Japan and have fiber, so I get well above those speeds. I had a quick look at the document and I think things certainly have changed in a few years -- at least in Japan. These days there is virtually nowhere that you can't get 4G as far as I know. The vast majority of people here use the internet on their phone so I'm willing to bet that percentage has gone up a lot. Feature phones used to be popular, but now if you don't have a smart phone it's pretty darn unusual. There is very little free wifi here as well, so almost everybody who has a phone has a 4G data plan.

In terms of availability, even fibre is ubiquitous now. At least in the Tokai region, I would be shocked if there was a single town that didn't have fibre now. NTT rolled it out aggressively about 10 years ago. When I got hooked up in my apartment 4 years ago they didn't even bother to check availability.

It would be super interesting to see what the numbers are like now. Of course it's apples and oranges. The US is much harder to serve than Japan (although I guess the many earthquakes keep the fibre repair guys busy). But I think you'll see SE Asian countries having nearly ubiquitous coverage in the next handful of years.
That's not how it works. Supply is fixed, regardless of how much mining happens. The difficulty to mine a coin adjusts as miners come online and go offline.
Yep, flip ad not so in disguise.
Supply is constant, regardless of how many people mine. In theory it should have no effect on price.

I guess existing miners would get their coins cheaper, so there would be less pressure on them to sell to cover electricity costs, so the supply may reduce a little via that mechanism.
There are different audiences out there and the "metrics" reflect some of them but not others.

Simplified version.

Type 1: Think that metrics (followers, friends, likes, reposts...) have meaning. Pursue that meaning. Have no effective moral structure. Maybe are dumb.

Type 2: Don't care about metrics. Find a way to get something that they actually like out of the systems. Have some moral structure.

Much discussion assumes that all users are dominated by their Type 1 side. Type 2's are invisible to the analyst.

Me I say. If everybody is genuinely Type 1 it's time to can "Project Mankind" and start again. Fortunately I know that there are Type 2's out there.

> We already know that Apple is more “trustworthy” than Facebook and Google.

It's in Apple's interest now to position themselves for privacy, because that differentiates them from the major alternative. That said, it's irrelevant who is more trustworthy now. That may change over time, and just because Apple is trustworthy now doesn't mean their business can't change over the next decade. Should we allow a precedent that just because a company has been trustworthy so far that we allow them to ensconce themselves as thew arbiters of trust thereafter?

People thought Google was very trustworthy in the past. I think Google was trustworthy in the past, but little by little they've been incentivized by their business model towards decisions and stances that are not as aligned with what I want anymore.

Companies change, quite a bit and quite often actually. All it takes is different management and/or a different board for a public one. Allowing people to actually assign who they trust at a more granular level than "Apple or Google" is essential if we want a say in our future.
There is a caveat to the Air France 447 crash, that the pilots apparently relied too heavily on the autopilot. When the alarms came on mid-flight, neither pilot was familiar with the current state of the plane and found it more difficult to diagnose the problems. One of the recommendations to come out of that crash was that pilots on long flights should occasionally switch back to manual control to keep themselves synced with the aircraft's state.

How much CPU is allocated to a Cloud Run (not-on-GKE) instance while a request is active? I see that memory is configurable (up to 2G), but no word about CPU...

I have a compute-heavy and bursty workload that I'd _love_ to put on Cloud Run, but it's important to know a ballpark for the CPU I'll get to spend on my requests.

Second question: any plans to more officially support "background" workloads that consume off e.g. Pub/Sub and might be able to use cheaper preemptible compute? I guess I'm probably already able to point a Pub/Sub push queue at a Cloud Run endpoint, but having the option of cheaper (autoscale-to-zero) compute for my not-latency-sensitive work would be awesome.

Marketing is a subset of the Exploitation Economy, which is effectively a global cult now.

Everything in the exploitation economy is evil. But then most previous attempts at large-scale human organisation have been evil too, in their own ways.

It's possible to have a humane non-exploitation economy, and it might even be possible for it to include some marketing. But it would look very different to the economy we have today.

It appears to me that inhibiting mining does not really have a lot to do with usage of Bitcoin as a currency. Even if they managed to completely wipe out mining in China, that would have zero impact on the utility of Bitcoin as a currency in China.
Agreed. I'd like to add that even if Swift/Visa/etc. combined use power plants worth of energy (which I actually assume they do, though it's hard to tell), they do orders of magnitude more payments with it.

CMake feels a lot like C++89: Lots of things you can do, but there are problems:

* No standardization or opinionated design, so you can't share your work easily.

* No sane defaults, so your build system is always fragile, difficult to maintain, and done wrong.

* No best practices, so people keep making the same mistakes over and over.

* Misguided attempt to remain compatible with the steaming pile of legacy they've accumulated over the years.

* Bad documentation, so there's no way to learn how to do things better.

* Steep learning curve with limited payoff, so most people don't bother.

Meson does some of these things better. It's still not pretty, but it's nicer to use than CMake.

But it makes a difference whether you are part of creating a society within which a entities fortune is based on exploiting (and feeding into) the believes of gullible victims or whether you try to create a society in which you try to bring out the best from within the people.

The latter is some sort of humanism, that ultimately resulted in all the things we collectively seem to value about western societies, while the former is more or less responsible for the biggest problems we have.

So even if free will turns out a complete illusion, it would still matter how people treat each other based on that idea. Usually you can amend it to: “Free will is an illusion, at least for those poor idiots who have nobody but themselves to blame for it, which is why it is socially acceptable for me to exploit them”
