Great work, I like the simplicity!

So far I have two issues with your solution:

1. It doesn't accept my email address. Looks like the pattern is way too strict and doesn't allow any new TLDs.

2. The use-case I most often see Splitwise used for is trips abroad with friends. In this situation, expenses are often recorded while no internet connection is available and synced later. I'm not sure if IOU supports this, I haven't tried it.
Rethinking Blockchain: Should It Have Been Written in Erlang from the Start?
>Lots of original movies are released - probably more than ever. It is just that the public prefers names they know

In the 80s and 90s we had bladerunner, the original matrix of course, we had alien and a significant amount of mainstream, big name fiction. Yes, retro movies have always existed but alongside the creation of entirely new genres, in particular in science fiction. We had Gibson alongside others creating the entirely new cyberpunk subgenre that influenced many of these original movies.

What exactly is the equivalent of this today? Yes we have some new stuff, I liked Ted Chiang's Arrival for example, but is there a big new future oriented wave of genuinely new fiction? I don't see it at all.
I use VS Code as my main IDE for both business and pleasure, but I have to mistrust just how developer-friendly Microsoft has been. VS Code is a great, extendable, developer-friendly tool. WSL has made it so that it's less of a shame that I'm stuck using Windows for now. Even CMD has been getting updates that makes it behave more like a POSIX shell.

Apple comply gracefully to this law.
Globally I feel this era (last 20 years) is not good soil to innovations. Change in tech made people somehow focus on visuals. Change in medias (TV shows becoming premium quality) took some from hollywood. Also the new generation has .. no grit.

An operating system with a built-in, default database provides tremendous advantages. Hewlett Packard's MPE (running on 3000 series) came with the Image database. Every third-party app count count on Image being available. Apps inter-operated and complemented each other; you didn't have to reinvent the wheel. Very effective.
That only unlocks the bootloader, which then allows you to install a custom one. There is no built-in option on Android for gaining elevated priviledges in any form, not even in a restricted way to disable bloatware that might compromise your privacy, and rooting your device breaks OTA updates, which also include security patches.
I used to run Qmail on a system that handled ~2m users. The main limitation was IO capacity. Today the M.2 NVMe SSD in my laptop can do substantially faster IO than the rack sized storage array we used for that mail system.

If you're building a competitor for Gmail or Hotmail, then maybe that performance difference will matter. For almost everyone else it's largely irrelevant.

EDIT: I'm confused by the downvotes for this. If someone has practical experience that suggests that performance is a real concern for this type of use, I'd love to hear about it. For my part I built and ran such a system for a couple of years, and spent a lot of time looking at the performance constraints. CPU usage just was not a factor even on ~20 year old (by now) hardware, running on 4-5 machines where the beefiest one had either 2 or 4 cores. All our optimization efforts consistently went on trading increased CPU usage for reducing IO use, because that is where the bottlenecks were. That's been reinforced with other mail systems I've run over the years, including large scale mail processing with PHP (not my choice) - every such system I've seen have been IO constrained rather than CPU constrained.

From my experience, no - its not that big a hassle. However labour is really cheap in India so if someone will deliver it for not much cost why not.

As an NLP person who had to work on some object detection stuff recently for an unrelated matter, it's amazing what a difference transfer learning makes. Whole task becomes brainless.

You could argue that BERT was a first go at it, but until transfer learning doesn't equate to "throw compute at it because we're Google/OpenAI", we're nowhere near to having solved this.
MyPetrolPump is genius. It's last-mile delivery for gas (or Uber for gas), but solving a security and logistics problem for a high-value market. Only qualified truck drivers can move trucks, and you pay them per hour. So now you refuel the trucks behind closed doors while the truck is parked overnight and you only have to secure access for the petrol driver.
>This would be the absolute fastest way to shift the federal tax burden from the top 20% to the bottom 50%

Bezos bought a 65 million dollar jet... at 20% federal sales tax that would have been 13 million dollars in revenue. He would pay more in taxes in one purchase than I'll earn in gross income in 10-13 lifetimes.

I paid a bit over $8000 in w2 employment taxes last year (21.8% of my gross income, with a 20% sales tax I'd have MORE money and yes, I would buy less crap I don't need and use once), in one purchase Bezos would have paid 1974x what I paid last year.

Never mind that under most federal sales tax proposals, a flat-rate rebate is issued monthly, quarterly or annually to everyone which greatly softens the blow for the lowest earners.

This is gonna be interesting. The plot has to be good because the innovation in special effects is over.

Although KR is super dedicated to the fighting stuff apparently, so that should be good. Maybe Smith comes back and they just give them a new reason to brawl. I would go see that.

Actually I would prefer an awesome Neo-vs-Smith fight over the "infinite worlds" idea. I don't see what's left to explore in that direction, the transition from one world to another is just the same as going from the Matrix to the real world. Lose your identity and start over, except you'll gradually realize you've never had any real identity outside any of the Matrix-worlds. So, your identity is completely contextual... but maybe there are some things that never change? What is human nature and what isn't? But they kind of did this in the third movie already, where it was revealed the prophecy is a lie. Back to square one for Neo.

Whatever it is, I hope it's not going to be a PC reboot with a female lead or something. Though actually I'd be alright with it if they made it mainly about Trinity.
But it is true. Take any random person and get them to train for this many hours, they won't even come close.

If you think it as a battery of a fuel cell, you care about the voltage and the charge, not about if it has Lithium or not. In general in the redox reactions (and in batteries) you don't care too much to which atom the electrons are bound (unless you have to build one). So the electrons are the important thing and the molecules are the implementation detail.

> What we are doing is taking in matter with a certain amount of chemical potential, putting out matter with less chemical potential, and capturing the difference. Electrons are intimately involved in this, but they're a bit of an implementation detail.

You are totally correct too. :) It's equivalente to the previos point of view where the electrons are the important part and the molecules are the implementation detail. It is just that sometimes it is easier to think from one point of view and other times it's easier to think from the other point of view.

(Essentially, Volt = Energy / Charge. Since the charge of the electron is fixed, you can convert easily (or use eV to measure the energy).)

---

If you think about the methane as a charged battery and the carbon dioxide as a discharged battery, then the idea is that the high potencial electron comes from the food and go away as low potencial electrons in the breath. I'm not 100% happy with this analogy, I think I understand it, but I'm not happy. You are not accumulating electrons.
I'm not sure what you mean by "don't have these amino acids in their DNA structure". There are 64 codons that code for amino acids and start/stop signals. But there are only 20 common amino acids, so multiple codons typically code for the same amino acid. However, just exactly what happens depends on the set of tRNAs that are being expressed. Plus the enzymes that catalyze attachment of amino acids to tRNAs.

That is, what's in the DNA is codons, and what amino acids get incorporated depends on tRNAs etc, plus what amino acids are around (synthesized or ingested).

Anyway, I get that I was being a little pedantic. But in the paper referenced by TFA, I see that they studied three nonproteinaceous amino acids: ornithine, 2,4-diaminobutyric acid, and 2,3-diaminopropionic acid. Canavanine is much closer to arginine, with a methylene replaced with an ether bridge. I wonder how well it would have polymerized.

0) https://www.pnas.org/content/116/33/16338

Edit: Upon reflection, "there are just 20 proteinaceous amino acids" and "AS/400 is a database" are ~similar simplifications.
Even back to the days of Archimedes and before, invention and innovation can be fueled by war and military research across many fields. Technology is almost directly tied to defense/intel research even this here internet. That is one of the dualities of the human condition. At least good can come from it.

Probably lots of reasons that research like this is attainable is due to massive budgets/funding and the ability to research an try many things in these types of r&d departments and the urgency of some research/development goals. Intelligence or military project conditions rarely apply to private market project budgets and timelines, only comparison is maybe academic research where some of the same goals/freedoms apply and both have reduced labor or essentially free labor.
I’m fine with this. Keanu’s action movies tend to have action that is actually creative and enjoyable to watch. Most fight scenes are really quite boring, but I’m happy to watch John Wick kill people for a few hours.

The Matrix is a good setting for action films. I won’t care terribly if it lacks the philosophical or sci fi aspects

What do you mean by classic slashdot post?

So if I am the only one who mentions a problem then it is well grounded and valid criticism, but if I am one of many developers who raises attention to the same problem then the issue loses credibility?

Your experience from already 10 years ago is truly remarkable. Given that before .NET Core you were tied to IIS, and therefore tied to Windows Server and also tied to Visual Studio and for that reason also tied to Windows as a development machine, and therefore automatically limited to what other software you could smoothly run in order to connect to databases and other technology it really surprises me that 10 years ago you were developing .NET in a complete non MS tech stack.

In this scenario is airbnb a "good" other or a "bad" one? I've read too many horror scenarios associated with this platform that I'm really reluctant to give them their 30% cut (of course the only way to do that is not to use them).

They assure both sides a good experience, but if one side fucks you over (bug-ridden room, or guests trashing your house in a drug orgy), they say "sorry, here's 10% of the damage you suffer to cover the inconvenience."..
If GitHub was granted an exclusive word trademark, then copying some or all of it should result in an accepted opposition by the USPTO. It doesn't matter if the offender company is in another segment, since GitHub is a notorious trademark (i.e. if you try to trademark MacHair for a hair salon, you will get sued by Apple and/or Macdonald's).

However, I don't think it's the case, since the word GIT has been used by other entities long before GitHub came to be. Otherwise, we wouldn't have GitLab, for instance.

Considering that, 'spng' is different enough from 'png'.

It's different, but I think it's so close as to verge on namesquatting, especially when the description and purpose is almost identical to the original libpng --- in fact, that's why I clicked, to see what exactly this is about.

It's a deeply interesting subject IMO.

I think it taps into existential crysis in a way, the nature of post ww2 youth oriented culture, immature notion of art and even the ubiquitous computer era we're in.

As you say, sometimes, things don't need an explanation, they're as great as they can be. It's more magic than logic and it's exactly right. It's a normal reflex to want to dig more but if you forget to make the explanation a good story with its own sense of magic/appeal.. you just killed your subject.

So many movies did that, even gore movies reboot trying to explain the jail time of a serial killer.

I really believe that the computing era gave this notion that more facts and logic equals better. Before people did entertainment for it and made it good enough to fulfill its duty, with a form of art. It can be an action movie, an adventure thing.. it didn't have to be PhD level of truthiness.

And the existential crysis.. so much of reboots feel like a desire at reliving virginal moments of our childhood. It's slightly (if not more) backward, it's better to take a leap of faith and create new instead of making our own little inception sublevel jails.

Ironically, when Apple first launched the iPhone, full-size desktop viewing of websites was a major feature. It's strange that the world has reverted back into making an entirely separate mobile internet.

The character's names are a reference to his messianic destiny in the movie. So:

- Neo is an anagram of "one" because he is "The One" who will change the destiny of mankind

- His first name is Thomas which is a reference to Doubting Thomas: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubting_Thomas

- His surname is Anderson, which translates as "son of man" which is a reference to Jesus: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_of_man_(Christianity)

> Because most 'real .net devs' still work on .NET 4.x legacy

That may be true, but .net core is definitely aiming to increase adoption and it makes a compelling case. The new stuff is a pleasure to use.

I almost wish Microsoft would stop putting much effort into dead ends, however. It's going to be possible to use WPF and even Windows Forms after .net 5 transition (they'll be windows-only libraries). VB .NET is still kicking (just let it die already). I wish they would have folded all those person-hours into .net core stuff instead.
Apple is not taking away personal freedoms.

They create products, which they offer for sale. People can freely choose to purchase those products or not.

Apple has opinions about how to make products, which are embodied in the products they offer for sale. Other companies have different opinions. This is how a market is supposed to work.

I don’t think we should talk about Apple as if they are a government taking away freedoms. It confers too much authority upon Apple and too much victimhood upon customers.

>"The invasion of the second largest Japanese island of Hokkaido, originally planned by the Soviets to be part of the territory taken,[18] was held off due to apprehension of the US' new position as an atomic power."

I checked the citations for that part of the article and they do not back up that claim. They are talking about what territory the USSR will get and which surrendering troops will become Soviet POWs. There is no discussion of "well, we better hold off because the 'mericans are just gonna glass 'em all for us".

Furthermore, the Americans had a shovel ready invasion plan with a start date in November. The soviets didn't have a real plan yet. It's not like they called off an invasion because we started lobbing nukes.

Anyone who says that showing the USSR what we were capable of was more than just a side benefit understand the Pacific campaign. If we didn't nuke them we were going to firebomb them. It was basically common knowledge that these people were dedicated enough to follow their cause to the death. What was learned on Iwo Jima and confirmed on Okinawa was that they were going to make us fight for every inch. In lieu of that it's hard to justify not using every available means to kill them dead enough that they surrender without invasion or soften them up prior to invasion. Imagine the scandal has Truman just decided "this whole atom bomb thing is barbaric, we're going to invade them and/or let the soviets burn half a million lives invading them".
