Not sure why this is downvoted. It’s clear if you spend time at the right conferences, read the right papers, and talk to the right people that $billions can eventually be saved and risk massively reduced / much better understood and managed, if not by the specific “DeFi” protocols people are using on Ethereum now, then by the things that will come to follow them. The potential upside for the bets that come good is worth a lot of losers — VC is very asymmetrical. Maybe this will all fail but there aren’t many good arguments why. (Yes, you can build all the fraud protection, account recovery, regulatory compliance features that you might need into these systems when the time comes, if that’s what it takes to realise the other benefits — arguments about this are at least 5 years too early.)

I remember when building on or investing in Linux was a waste of time because it was a toy and would never be used for anything serious. The truth is, things are still very early — the internet has its roots in the 1960s, we are perhaps where the internet was sometime in the ‘80s with crypto (still an accelerated timeline!). Be very cautious of extrapolating from what can be done now (in crypto, quantum computing, biotech, AI, wherever). Unless you’ve spent months or years researching and piecing things together and know what is actually possible, it’s just possible that there are aspects that you don’t fully appreciate.
Many of these features can be implemented in lists.sr.ht.

lists.sr.ht already has support for threads and diff highlighting. Example thread: https://lists.sr.ht/~emersion/public-inbox/patches/7077
That's true. But developing apps for Windows seems like a small niche now.

And if you don't use C#, you are in a world of pain with MFC and Win32.

C++ developers asked for a nice GUI framework for ages.
Do you recall which kernel you were using?

I was forced to grab a 5700xt because of stock problems but it would have been around the same time.

I had one big deal breaker problem but i only had to run a mainline kernel build to tie me over.

In anycase, this sort of thing is standard for new hardware, always takes a couple months for linux to catch up.
Keybase uses a very similar approach for keeping its autostart enabled. It is necessary to explicitly turn it off in the application's settings, otherwise it would always try to overwrite the autostart file.
> Making you pay a portion of your income back to the college for the rest of your life (or maybe just 20 years) would make sense.

Yeah, but Australia isn't exactly a big market. From that angle, I'd expect France and Germany to be on the list, not necessarily Canada and Australia.
I was browsing through my GitHub stars and found this one. I also noticed that the owner of the repo is working on the project recently, so figured it was worth re-posting it.

This has more to do with market dominance and standards compliance of nvidia than anything else. Nvidia does its own thing game devs compensate, amd gets a shafted experience and looks like its their fault.
No language will replace C on its turf, FOSS UNIX clones and embedded POSIX RTOS.

Everywhere else C has been being replaced a good part of the last two decades, even all major C compilers are written in C++.

As for Rust, yes a co-existence is more likely.

Yes that is how it works and it works well. Government should fund pie in the sky research projects and private industry should take that and make products. It is the history of Silicon Valley and it produced quite a bit of wealth don't you think?
It’s not an inquisition, just something to be aware of.

I’m downvoted every time I point out this very simple thing we can do to be more inclusive.

Hi wenbin,

Listennotes is one of my favourite single-person companies. Congratulations on a wonderful product! I've been really impressed that you were able to build such a good and stable product; I suppose some of that comes from using "boring technology" (https://www.listennotes.com/blog/the-boring-technology-behin...)

What made you add the playlist feature? It seems more b2c than some of your other features. Is it gaining traction? Do you think at some point you would make your own podcast app?

Thanks!

Especially, if you have do limited scope GC like Erlang, and let the programmers pick when GC is happening. Sort of like malloc/free but without the fear of introducing bugs like double free.
They did so because public outrage. There's nothing to guarantee they won't try it again or other similar maneuvers.

The gist is the DNS model is broken.
The power of admitting ignorance
YouTube change their whole site to have Rainbows and #Pride all over it once a year while actively demonetising anyone who uses the words 'gay' or 'lesbian' in their videos. This has led to LGBT focused channels creating entire dictionary's of code words that are shared within the community.

We use Redis in production for millions of customers and never had an issue, super solid and the code looks great even from someone with only a poor knowledge of C. I'd definitely investigate the code further if I had the time as I'm sure it would be very educational. Thanks too for your engagement with the community, I think everyone appreciates that a lot.

While I agree with you 100%, the average person in general is just clueless.

I was talking with my mother last week and she had never heard of bitcoin.

She is on facebook literally all day but had not even heard the word bitcoin before.

She is just clueless. She wouldn't even begin to be able to understand this debate.
I know how to solve this problem, so I wasn't commenting on his comment, but rather on the fact that none of these tutorials so far solve this problem for new users that they target.

Aside from that, I don't think what he proposes is a great solution, because what we'd need is the automated way for deployments to get that DNS created (or announced) for their IP when they get it or when it changes. Having it done manually and being static is vastly different in usability from k8s does with ingress/cloud controllers.
ICANN has lost its credibility.
>> The applications where you really can't use GC are a tiny niche relative to the ones where you can.

And this is one space Rust is targeting explicitly. Why would people replace Go with Rust for performance reasons otherwise?

Dns is part of stock k8s. It usually runs on the 10th ip of the services network.

It's the first service that goes up after you've initialized the cluster and initially serves only internal requests.

Nothing stops you from pointing the matching lookup zone to the internal dns of k8s, however. I've done it before and it worked great for lan requests.

If you want to expose it to the internet however, an automatically configured dns is probably not what you want, unless you actually have a public ip range to use with said services.
In that case, the original comment makes more sense and you'd just add a wildcard dns to your ingress controller, which can be traefic or whatever else you want

Getting a legacy system under test
aerc [1] supports arbitrary content filters (programs invoked when showing a message body). These are used for quote and diff highlighting. It would be nice to write a filter that auto-links tickets and commits depending on the List-Id.

Hypothesis: the face-ripping rally in stocks and total disconnect from the real economy is the result of trading bots that have mistaken the flood of central bank liquidity as a demand spike.

The algos haven't yet been updated to reflect the fact that there's a man behind the curtain with an infinite supply of liquidity pumping, pumping as fast as he can.

And it's far from clear that the distinction matters anymore. Assets have become a kind of video game. When you strip stocks and bonds from their anchors to valuation (P/E multiple or inflation), you're left essentially with something very similar to gold and cryptocurrencies - assets that are difficult to value by any conventional means, but which become sensitive to central bank shenanigans. This could explain why all asset classes are now moving in unison.
ICANN did leave door open if they could convert PIR to a for profit in PA. I hope PA AG has something to say about this.
People are building server-side WASM runtimes, which I suspect is your answer. To me the other answer is they could provide the same API in the browser through a shim.

That was the point I was making: the idea of an 'impartial third party' on an anonymous blockchain is a pathetic joke. OpenBazaar's half-assed solution is to:

1) Moderate the moderators: Great, now we have two problems.

2) Try to tie moderators to a real-world ID: Realising they have to roll back the purported 'features' of crypto-currency (anonymous, peer-to-peer, unrestricted, etc), in order to try to get somewhere close to normal, real-world, commercial transactions.
I'm not sure where your idea about the "average experience in academia" comes from (I don't even know if such a thing exist, because the very word "experience" implies a subjectivity beyond the scope of surveys or other objective measures), but even given such an average more positive experiences do still exist in the head of the distribution.
But concerning the point: even though my own experience in academia hasn't been exactly pleasant, my professors weren't the source of it (the "system" was), and always provided helpful advice and selfless acts of teaching, like the OP described.
The points are worth discussing and putting some numbers on. What false negative and false positive rates, installation percentage among population and other things are acceptable for still useful contact tracing? And how does it tie to testing availability etc.
>> Rust will be a higher-level language.

It does lots of low-level things that are closer to C though.
Very confusing page, it says "Get started for free" and when you sign up and want to publish it says "$2/month
Billed at $24 per year • 8 months free!" - what does that even mean? 8 month free, then $2/month? How can it be free if I'm billed $24 upfront?
I agree with pretty much all of this. The point I'm making and not conveying well is that the state eventually has to be held somewhere. So not that it has to colocate with application services, but that if you want to store something with something, then Kubernetes as the substrate makes things harder. Even where you have say replication built in and are not reliant on 'the' file or disk, you tend to need to bolt on an operator to handle replication/placement. An example is Etcd used within Kubernetes. You don't get to just run Etcd on K8s itself; it needs an operator which was about 9KLOC last time I looked.
Speaking of Floridian, long ago, I worked with a developer from a rural area in that state. My favorites were, "Shittin' in high cotton!" when a program finally ran correctly and when the network connection finally came up, "We're swappin' spit now!" .

The Better Way to Manage App Screenshots for App Store and Google Play
I am not ignoring YouTube at all. I watch a lot of videos from which I can learn something or find entertaining.

I've just found that I don't enjoy very much videos made for the sole purpose of making money.

I think people should make money from their work, but there also should be a bit of value for the viewer also.
"Tried to be p2p".

Most of the time, our routers/APs defeated that. Skype would 'fall back' to using a server, which I believe it did 90% of the time.
I don't know either, but it's lodged itself in my brain.
Multipole Methods for the Masses
I don't think anyone's disagreeing with the idea of being inclusive.

But if the author very clearly isn't used to writing in English in the first place (you cannot possibly have missed that) then you can start gently with the fact that we don't use genders for all nouns, as they may not even be aware of that, before you go in with the big guns of calling people's efforts at writing in a foreign language 'nasty'.

If I asked you to write a blog post in Sumerian and you made a faux pas and I jumped all over it you'd be a bit put out wouldn't you?
Yeah, and then CPU which translates x86 code into uOPs.
It’s not handled there at all. Qt likely uses NSScrolledView underneath, but Java/Swing and GTK feel foreign even if they look the same (which they don’t, with different levels of unsubtlety).
I love sr.ht but for the love of God can we please have an easily deployable Dockerfile for selfhosting? I'm almost positive its lack stems from Drew's ideals of how software ought to be distributed but it would really help with wider adoption. Sometimes you don't have he luxury of dealing with a NixOS or straight Debian system or you're running containers-only because of company policy and so on and so forth.
you cannot be that emotionally involved, what you take as aggressive is simply someone not giving you enough attention.

and I'm sorry but a project being 'open source' doesn't mean that everyone can or should contribute, not all contributions are good or helpful and if you have a certain standard in mind for your software you have to filter contributions.
Sussman is present in that parody: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rdj6deraQ6k
When I see a genderised statement like this I always wonder if I had missed something earlier in the writing and the author was referring to a specific male person rather than a company. I also find it equally jarring when authors unexpectedly use “her” for a gender neutral object like a company in some misguided attempt to write with inclusivity.
No, this is exactly why Universities exist. As idea machines that occasionally turn out something that changes the world. As well as educating our (elite) children.

Automatic cross referencing is more than linkifying ticket ids and commit hashes. Issues, PRs and commits elsewhere that reference an issue/PR show up automatically on its page (think pingbacks in blogging), which apparently doesn’t fit into the mailing list model at all.

Edit: Forgot to mention, even

> It would be nice to write a filter that auto-links tickets and commits depending on the List-Id.

is not possible with sr.ht, due to non-1-1 relationship between mailing list and repository/tracker.
It automatically swaps, if so, that's pretty good.

If not, being able to choose between these has been around for quite a long time.

Rust can absolutely replace C in everything except small embedded platforms where only a C compiler is available. With the unsafe subset, it can do anything that C can do. It's actually harder to seamlessly replace C++, because C++ has its own semantics that are not very easily replicated in Rust.
I switched from C++ to Java at one point in my career (fortunately long in the past). I remember sweating after several hours of trying to put my head in the different environment, coming home shaking and exhausted.

After 2 weeks it got better, and I think I got pretty good at it.

The good news: switching back to C++ took only a few days, no sweating. It was 2 days before I remembered about header files, and thought "What the hell? Oh yeah" but that was about it.
is america feudalist for having a drug czar?
Yes, but once you have such a strong dependency it's difficult to remove it. Others have tried the approach and are still stuck with them.

Sorry to hear that the quality was not good for you, it depends on country to country (depending on the users-base basically). For Germany, quality was good enough, QA analysis on stratified queries backed it up. That being said, perceived quality from a person is not properly reflected on NDCG-like metrics, you do not remember the 9 queries it did right, but the one that was totally off.

In any case, DDG is good, and let me emphasize, they (and others) provide a lot of value to the users, privacy-concerned or otherwise. But the underlying problem is not getting fixed, unless, hopefully someday, they come up with an independent index (let's hope).
Amazon reported yesterday they expect to spend their entire previously forecasted Q2 profit of $4 billion on COVID related expenses. I wouldn’t call that a fantastic outcome.

"Empty is translated to whatever default value makes sense"

You can assign it, but then you've lost the distinction. Conversely, you can't tell that you haven't assigned anything by testing for Empty. With a Date, it's probably clear that if it equals zero it's uninitialized, but with an integer, not so much.
And that's great, but nowhere does it say that this something should end up as the property of a corporation who will then charge the public for its use.
Here's another hint for you https://blog.bembel.net/2019/07/ebbelwoi-statement/
> 4. Don't offer large salaries to anyone. The role shouldn't attract people who care about salaries, even if it means you don't attract the "best talent". That "best talent" was probably going to wreck the organisation anyway.

This seems counterproductive to me. If you don't pay people enough that they're worried about losing the position then they're incentivized to try and monetize whatever power they have, leading to corruption.

If a guilty party has to be identified, it will be, not necessarily the correct one. Malicious agents will just be more careful next time as they have more resources than anyone willing to look into this.

The problem is systemic.
Heard and used it many times, an equivalent to high cotton would be "Eating high on the hog". Which comes from the higher cuts being the better cuts of pork.

My absolute favorite was the one my grandfather used to tell me, he would say "Boy if your gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough and you are, by far, the toughest kid I know" I love the back-handedness of the insult.

The other one that I think is funny is due to Tombstone most people think it is: "Im your huckleberry" when in fact the correct term is "I'll be your huckle bearer" which is the equivalent of a pall bearer, in the south we call the casket handles huckles. The term basically means keep it up and you are going to get the fight you are looking for.
I had the same "state machine" style workflow with something like 6 steps in it. Combined with the slow load times and clumsy interface, I once calculated that it would take me several hours just to move all of my assigned tickets at the time from state 0 to state 5. Fortunately I was able to switch to a workflow that made more sense.

I feel the two types of problems you mentioned form a feedback loop, each making the other more painful.
Now that I think about it Keybase autostarting has never bothered me at all, but I recently installed the alpha release of teams for Linux and I have just been waiting for the time to tinker and find a way to disable it autostarting. Says a lot about my trust for each.

When the issue of removing price caps first came up, I talked to a journalist at the WSJ about covering it. This was before they were even approved. The journalist was shocked at how this was all happening and could continue to happen. The story was killed by the editors.

I can't read the WSJ article because paywall but there appears to be an effort pushing the narrative that ICANN has to remain independent. On CircleID there are 3 articles (and 1 comment reply 11 minutes after the article was published) by VeriSign affiliated/PIR affiliated folks. The comment is a reply to a former VeriSign lobbyist by active VeriSign lobbyist. I can't prove anything, but it's definitely suspicious that there seems to be a lot of VeriSign connected folks who were trying to stop this deal. Oversight is perhaps the biggest threat to their golden goose. I wrote about it here https://reviewsignal.com/blog/2020/05/01/reflecting-on-org-s...

The WSJ hiding behind the editorial board making an this exact argument seems suspect. Their coverage was non existent and became not great once they did write about it. There are actual investigative journalists covering the issue with thought and depth. Kieran McCarthy at The Register, Timothy Lee at Ars Technica and more recently David Kaut at The Capitol Forum.

Prepare for a lot more articles like this one though and think about who stands to gain the most from them. It's always about the money.
