I want to live in your town, where there's so little crime the police have time to investigate people who advertise on telephone poles.
Postel's Law
As an older person deeply involved in the BBS communities of the 1980s and someone who played both Car Wars and GURPS I can tell you that these things were very well known among many of us.
Oh. I have technology. I have patents and more.

You suffer from the misapprehension that your opinion matters. I'm sorry it doesn't. HN does little for the real-world contrary to what many in Silicon Valley culture seem to think.

A large reason for the creation of bitcoin stems from the promise of micropayments. Therefore Google and Facebook collapsed into the shit show that they are, they couldn't solve it. Your belief is not needed nor warranted. I'm not seeking money or investment from you and nor do I really care about you or even know you. We have companies coming to use my technology, and I'm not talking about ICO pumpers or other scammers seeking to replicate the frauds of the 90s. I'm also not talking about the bucket shops that pose as pink sheet scam markets under a new name.

We have companies such as Nike now getting into blockchain. Basically, the idea being to save data. Interestingly, the focused concept in the Nike patent is covered by my 2016 filings placing me two years ahead of them. Which is fine, they now have a choice. They can use BSV freely or they can pay my company royalties.

So why is it you think that I need to convince you?

Why do you think that it matters that I have you believe me or come on board as my disciple?

I hate to tell you that you're a little bit deluded if you believe that. You see, people will build on my platform whether you like me or not. I have a technical solution that works, I have solutions that scale, and mostly I've had the time to patent every aspect of how bitcoin works. You see, while other people have been trying to understand my protocol, I found that the best way of stopping people hijacking it further was to start building what some people call a patent fortress. You can't scale without SPV. Unfortunately, people didn't understand what it was. So much of bitcoin was not understood even though was common.

It is interesting how people think that I invented the concept of blockchain. It was published in the mid-90s. However, it was a set theoretic mathematical construct and not as simple as it was resented in the paper.
may I ask which model laptop you use? 8-10hrs at 1080p is very good. I get 6-8hrs on an Intel N3060 at 720p, but that's not great for development.
I actually have the High Growth Handbook written by the author of this article, but had no time to start reading it. Does anyone here have an experience with it, is it worth picking up asap?
"it is immediately consistent"

I hope it's the last DVCS, if it can save me the hassle of learning a new one. There is some learning curve, but it works just fine once you know how to use it.
The git internals are good for some kinds of projects but for the actual majority of projects git is a very bad fit. Most people don't get that because they are blind for the much better tools like mercurial and fossil.

The git UI/UX on the other hand is the worst piece of crap ware known to man. This piece of shit has probably destroyed more data than any other tool ever written. People who think that git is any good are obviously wrong and can easily proven wrong. It's sad that git has become the default.
> I think it's simple and elegant as a data structure, when what people need and want is something that is (at least also) simple and elegant in its UX and most importantly VERY simple and elegant for the 80/20 use cases.

That's what UIs (whether CLIs or otherwise) for standardized workflows like git-flow are, IMO.
People hold themselves to different standards than the general population all the time.

Just because I cycle to work and don't own a car for environmental reasons, doesn't mean I think car owners are assholes - I have owned a car in the past, may do again in the future, sometimes get taxis and lifts, and have plenty of friends and family members with cars.

Git is neither easy not is it really elegant. It is useful for projects like Linux™ but for the vast majority of projects way better tools like mercurial or fossil would be a much better fit.
How can you be the real Satoshi when _I_ am the real Satoshi? This guy is a fraud, don't listen to him!
So the issue isn't sharing ideas it's monetizing sharing those ideas?
If the tool you have works well for your use case, looking for and learning to use a "better tool" can be a waste of your time with little benefit.

I don't think those kinds of comments are warranted here. I don't see any increase in the number of green usernames in this thread compared to any other post. What kind of evidence do you have to support these claims?
Lenovo has a bunch of AMD ThinkPads (X395, T495, and T495s at a 14" size, E595 at 15") with Ryzen 3000 series CPUs, but the 15" model is from the E series which isn't one of their high-end series. The T495 and T495s seem to be a really nice machines though, even before a Ryzen 4000 refresh: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-ThinkPad-T495-Review-bu... - quote: "Overall, we have to admit that the ThinkPad T495 is the better T490, especially considering its lower price." (The T490 is the Intel version) and https://www.notebookcheck.net/Goodbye-Intel-Thinkpad-T495s-w..., the title of which is "Goodbye Intel: Thinkpad T495s with AMD Ryzen is the better choice for many users"

If these prove popular (and given that they're quite a bit cheaper than the Intel models, they might), a 15" T-series Ryzen Thinkpad probably won't be too far off.

They expressly do not dam a stream, they collect runoff. You put them in low lying areas that normally form puddles in monsoon.

The idea is to prevent runoff, just like the ones in peru.
The branching in hg is actually way better than with git. The reason you are confused is probably because you learned the wrong (git) way of branches.

If you want the wacky and unreliable git branching you can use hg bookmarks.
Only responding to your point about ineffective charities, it’s definitely a pervasive issue, but there are organizations like GiveWell who measure impact of charities worldwide (as best as possible, since randomized controlled trials are not often possible in the domains where charities operate).
They make available all their research, and recommend top charities to give to, continuously re-evaluating and refreshing their recommendations.

I can’t recommend it enough
>This misunderstanding arose only five months after TSR obtained widespread notoriety in a similar confusion surrounding the disappearance of college student James Dallas Egbert III in East Lansing, Michigan. A private detective hired to find Egbert had learned that the young man played TSR’s role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons—at the time virtually unknown to mainstream America—and hypothesized that Egbert had come to believe the game was real. Famously, this led to calls for a search of the college steam tunnels, where presumably Egbert would be found wandering in a deluded stupor, questing for monsters and treasure.

Tom Hanks starred in a 1982 made for TV movie called, "Mazes and Monsters" that used virtually this exact plot. In the 80s there was a massive hysteria about Dungeons & Dragons being linked to "devil worship" and other madness (yes really). It was so bad that TSR pulled Demons and Devils from the (then) new edition of the Monster Manual (and related books) in an attempt to quell the furor.

Spoiler: In the movie the character played by Hanks actually does go crazy and end up lost in the tunnels. He is eventually found but he has forever lost his mind, driven insane by the evil game.

You got a point, a provocative one, but still one.

Let's expand it: it's also amazing what you can do if you don't care much about being good at what you do and pass it to the others (that's what reputation is for, being authoritative), it's even more amazing what you can do if you don't care about your family or other people in general.

Madoff achieved a lot by not caring about scamming other people

Then he got caught

It's ok to not care, but rest assured that one day not caring will catch up with you

What I mean is: if your wife wants to move far away from the place that will give you early retirement, maybe it's because she hates the kind of life that will let you retire early...

Is it better to retire early (much early!) or end up divorcing or having an unhappy marriage?

Have you thought about that?

These are the kinds of compromises people usually go through when they are building something that involves more than ME.
I've thought about making (well, more about 'having' it to be honest) a 'semi-portable' computer for people like us. Basically a briefcase that when folded open would 'swing out' two screens. Maybe you would fold it over so that the rest of the case (where the mobo etc are are in) would work as a stand for the monitors. You wouldn't be able to use it on a couch or plane but it would give you a vastly superior experience when at a desk. Sort of like a portable office. Ideally the whole inside would be 3d printed (maybe some of the display panel mounts would be metal and the rest custom) so that you can make it fit for any briefcase and any hardware you want to put in it.
I still am. Also, when I discover that esoteric term #1 used in a subfield A is the same thing as esoteric term #2 used by a subfield B, but either they never talked to each other, or someone decided they want to be different.
The takeout data is the data they have. Complaining about that seems a very strange thing to make into an issue.
I'm curious about how many people actually have laptops with resolutions higher than 1080p and use them without display scaling.

People buy a high resolution laptop and turn the scaling on 200%, effectively nullifying the benefits of a high resolution display.
For what it's worth, I would never have read it if it was the original title. Glad I read it, though. Thanks for posting.

Review the propaganda of our past wars and understand that this is what they do with every war to get people on board with the insanity of sending their own kids off to die for them. It's not new. Read War Is A Racket by Major General Smedley Butler: https://www.ratical.org/ratville/CAH/warisaracket.html

Understand that "both sides" agitate for war and/or violent manipulation of foreign countries. If you're upset that Russia interferes with our elections, look in the mirror. We do much worse and have done for decades. Defense contractors figure prominently in the investment portfolios of representatives of both parties.

Keep informed. This is a dependable, convenient place.

Yeah, git with binary files is not fun. Have you tried git annex?
I disagree with the "give them cash" part - donating to shelters or charities is often better. Not because "they will spend it on drugs", which you really can't tell, but because it's a better way to help the overall population rather than a single individual. And giving cash often leads to some perverse incentives.
Right but that suggests either there isn't a lack of talent and they don't need to hire security engineers or there is a lack of talent and hiring security engineers would fill that gap.

Since you suggest there is a lack of talent I'm just curious what you think the gap is.
I interviewed at Google once. They did not care about my resume or any of my experience. They only cared about how I performed on the bizarro whiteboard questions.
Possibly something awful, but irrelevant for the passenger on the scale of moving a 100,000 tonne ship, so we should consider that issue separately.
That isn't so. You learn that a channel doesn't have enough capacity by attempting to use it, failing, then updating your knowledge and trying again. It typically takes something like 1.25 tries on average in the current network.

See Bolt 7:

> Note that the htlc_maximum_msat field is static in the current protocol over the life of the channel: it is not designed to be indicative of real-time channel capacity in each direction, which would be both a massive data leak and uselessly spam the network

They may feel that way, but the difference is that standard cosmology is a highly-successful predictive model consistent with all popular physical theories, while plasma cosmology is proposing physically unlikely phenomena that have never been observed, interpreting prehistoric art for 'observations', and fails to account for many modern observations. It's perhaps not as bad as the so-called electric universe, but it is certainly a much more likely example of pathological science than standard cosmology is.
Maybe, but that has nothing to do with my point.
A person shouting about their wares at a market (iow a sole propietor advertising their products through direct to customer advertising in a shopping area) is different than a multi-million ad designed and produced by dozens of people including professional social engineers that have studied psychology at the worlds top universities all so widget Co. can sell more widgets.

I don't have a problem with people barking about their products when I'm at a market. But I do have problems with just about everything about modern corporate advertising. Merely listing every individual aspect I take offense too would take hours.

I draw the line at the point where anything is exchanged, given, or recieved, tangible or otherwise, to allow someone/something/some co, to display, demonstrate, brand, or otherwise make known anything through an intermediary.

To clarify. Having generic, unobtrusive signs pointing to food courts around a sports Arena where one can purchase food, that may or may not be served in branded containers is acceptable. Neon signs, or banners, or full advertisements on big screens, etc advertising some company that is not doing any business directly with the attendants at said Arena is unpalatable to me. Likewise, selling refreshments with branding foranything besides the establishment selling the item, or the company that manufactured the item is ridiculous.

It feels strange to me to compare a user-generated content site with a more traditional media platform. And then complain that the former doesn’t work like the latter.

I’ve never really understood how YouTube Kids was even a thing.
I'd be surprised if behavioural data over a two years old is useful for any predictive models, and I expect they would remove it from their models to avoid spurious correlations.
Does 'Showstoppers' refer to 'Show-Stopper!: The Breakneck Race to Create Windows NT' by G. Pascal Zachary? I did enjoy that.
DVCS indeed has nothing to do with VCS, it has a lot to do with the data model used by the VCS.

A modern but still centralized VCS like Subversion or Perforce is what you get if you first add networking (CVS) and then atomic commits. Without atomic commits you are pretty much forced to keep a centralized server, and Subversion didn't try to change the server model after adding atomic commits.

DVCS instead is what you get if you start with local revision tracking like RCS, and add atomic commits before networking. Now the network protocol can work at the commit level and is much more amenable to distributed development.
I updated my A485 bios recently using fwupd, was much easier than on windows, just run a command and restart. To me the year of the Linux desktop is already here :)

But yea seems that not all machines are supported, you either get lucky or have to do research beforehand.
here's me sincerely hoping for pijul and/or darcs to deliver something much better. (obviously if it's only a little better then there isn't much point in switching.)
Thanks to Github, git is the standard for non-professional software development as well. My kids are in high school and they're using it.

Gitless looks great. It looks like you nailed all the main issues I have with git. If you ensure that people never have to use the regular git interface, maybe it'll take off. I hope so!

BTW Daniel was my PhD advisor :-).
That is the price to pay for decentralization. That said, further optimizations will increase the number of transactions per block, and second layer solutions can scale bitcoin to a vastly larger size.
It's been immensely useful in every software project I have ever partaken in. None of them were like linux.
The whole reason git lfs exists is to workaround git scalability problems. Its raison d'etre is problems with git.

That one of - if not the - most popular tool to solve said git scalability problems, also has scalability problems in practice, is both ironic - and absolutely a problem with the git ecosystem. To be pithy - "Even the workarounds don't work."

"Technically", you might say, "that specific symptom with git lfs, and that service provider, isn't the fault of git the command line tool, nor the git protocol". And you would be technically correct - which is the best kind of correct.

But I don't think we're referring to either of those particularly specific things with "Git" when we ask the article's question of "Is Git Irreplacable?". I'm already the weirdo for using git the command line tool - most of my peers use alternative git UI clients, and I don't mean gitk. The git protocol is routinely eschewed in favor of zips or tarballs over HTTPS, Dropbox, Sneakernet, you name it - and is invisible enough to not be worth complaining about to pretty much every developer who isn't actively working on the backend of a git client or server. Not to mention it's been extended/replaced with incremental improvements over the years already.

So I'm using a slightly broader definition of "git", inclusive of the wider ecosystem, that allows me to credit it for the alternative UI clients that do exist, rather than laughing off the question at face value - as something that has already been replaced.

The post your replying to is complete drivel. It really just reeks of some romanticised, middle class guilt perspective of the poor. I grew up in complete poverty, in what was basically a drug den. I really can’t relate to anything that was written there, and it doesn’t describe anybody I knew growing up. But I guess upvoting that comment will make some people feel good about themselves, so there you have it...
Can you believe this fits in a single year?
As the founder of OpenTimestamps I wanted to say you're analysis is absolutely correct. People often don't realize how weak timestamp proofs are - you really need to think carefully about what exactly is being proved by one and take into account the "timestamp all the things" attack. This is particularly true in efficient, scalable, timestamping solutions like OTS where timestamps are essentially free to create: an attacker could write a script to create via brute force literally trillions of alternate variations of a prediction.
ASRock did the DeskMini A300 last year which was quite popular. I'm hoping they will refresh it with an updated motherboard for the new APUs coming this year.
Only if those people never have to learn git in those five years. Maybe in some niches they wouldn't have to, but lots would.
There's really no conspiracy. Hardware builders just have other requirements. If AMD"s laptop chips were really better so far (this is actually very debatable), they were by a slim margin for some use cases. Not enough to offset existing business agreements with Intel, the more mature Intel laptop platform (it's more than a CPU, but also motherboards and wireless chipsets) and Intel's more mature - and already existing - supply chain and general mature manufacturer support.

AMD is now very popular amongst home PC builders because they make better chips for the money and there's not many other requirements to consider. But AMD still has a lot of inroads to make because with premade hardware builders - whether it's laptops, office PCs or even servers. For example, although AMD is making way in the server space, it's not going as fast as one might expect for them having the clearly superior server chip (for most use cases) for quite some time now.

For hardware builders it's simply a time and money investment to start using AMD hardware. And although AMD is convincing them to do it - having what appears to be clearly superior chips in the laptop space is definitely a big plus there - it's something that takes time.
And that's how you can get stuck in a local maximum.
