While not guaranteed, it's pretty likely that you'll be able to get your $16M back if you lose it to identity theft or a compromised online account. You may have to escalate from customer service to legal action, but there are usually ways to reverse fraudulent transactions in the traditional banking system.

On the other hand there's basically no way for this user to get their bitcoin back.

Looking at different ideologies, the Republican has many fascists, the Democrats has no communists and only a tiny minority dare criticize capitalist. That pretty much settles it, the US has no leftist party.

The generally accepted definition of a leftist is someone that opposes capitalism. There is no real political force in the US that opposes capitalism, so the US doesn't have a left. It has a center, and a right-to-far-right,
Fascinating article. I did note that the template function signature includes RNG, which me as I may pass a different PRNG function; those found in the Mir [1] library are excellent. Libsodium is also available in D.

I know this seems weird at first glance, but JS arrays are not typed. To all the people saying this is obviously wrong, I'm curious what your intuitive default strategy is to sort the following array:

[
7,
'3',

{},
null,
undefined,
NaN,
Infinity,
new Date(),
new Error(),
Promise.resolve(),
function () { return 'a'; },

{ toString: ()=>'a' },
{ toString: ()=>7 },
{ valueOf: ()=>'b' },
{ valueOf: ()=>9 },
{ __proto__: Number.prototype,
valueOf: ()=>'a',
toString: ()=>7 },
].sort()

The big thing everyone is always complaining about with Javascript is that it tries to guess too much. Type conversions with equality operators, type conversions with +/- operators, lots of Javascript doing unexpected conversions and trying to be helpful at the wrong times.

So sure, you could have a set of random rules based on prototype chains to figure out whether you were going to call `valueOf` or `toString` for any given object, and you could come up with a bunch of rules for whether or not primitive types like Symbols come before numbers.

Or, you could just say, "we're going to convert every value to its string representation and sort alphabetically." At which point, as long as you understand how string conversion works, it becomes very obvious and easy to understand how the array above will get sorted.

The second option is easier to learn and easier to reason about. There's weird stuff in Javascript, but if you're going to have a default (and there's good reason to say that you shouldn't, and that `sort` without a parameter should just throw an error), I think this is the right choice for them to have made about how the default should work.

Lots of intuitions about what the developer meant seem simple when you're only looking at the simple case. But it is usually better to have one set of rules that are easy to describe and that are universally applied. More of Javascript should work this way, if we're going to have a default sorting algorithm, then it's good that the default sorting algorithm mostly does the same stuff every time no matter what you pass it.

This is not the kind of thing that makes me dislike Javascript, it's the other stuff -- the inconsistencies and magic behaviors -- that give me more pause about the language. But what Javascript is doing here is good.

Wouldn't a telemedicine appointment using the app for voice/video be indeed a "digital" good?
Strongly agree, and I'd also wish they took a shot at the Architecture market (god knows Autodesk and Archicad sorely deserves the competition) but it's not easy to build a product that fits all possible uses cases, especially when the initial focus of the app was SFX and animation.

Specifically, for CAD, blender lacks IMO two fundamental things:

- a strong NURBS engine, complete with filleting, trimmed NURBS, CSG, full brep, etc.. (something at least on par with OpenCascade).

- a node-based (à la Houdini) modeling system to do full blown paramaterics. The current destructive + Undo/Redo model is simply not strong enough for serious CAD used.

For the latter, there are add-ons (e.g. sorcar, sverchok) that try to patch the gap, but they all feel like band-aids when you try to really put them to work.

Fascinating! Have to read that one.

It's not just different occupations that use different counting systems. Apparently in Japanese you count liquid using one set of names, grain another, and countable things with a third, people with yet another. Or something like that.

In English we do something similar. Small units of people are 'single', 'a couple', 'menage a trois' etc. Not to mention the myriad names for groups of things (herd, flock etc).

"There is not a major political party in the US that advocates for an employment guarantee, banning private property, or withdrawing all armed forces from around the world. These are positions you would expect from a range of left parties in a parliamentary system."

That's a pretty loose definition of 'major'.

Parliamentary systems sound pretty shitty then - keep in mind the Golden Dawn, UKIP, and any one of the perennial "let's deport all the Roma" parties also counts as a major political party under your definition.
There is no mandate in Bitcoin to 'be your own bank' - its just an option. It is a feature and a very good one for people who are afraid of government intrusion into how they use their money. If you don't care about this "feature" you can turn it off by putting your crypto in Coinbase or other exchanges where it will be insured.

I've always seen gentrification as more a symptom of a problem, rather than a problem itself. After all, it's not the appearance of a higher economic class that's bad; it's the forceful displacement of the lower economic class, which may or may not follow. I've seen both scenarios play out in both urban and suburban areas, depending a ton on willingness to allow new construction and pre-existing home ownership rates.

You can try to understand why macOS developers are frustrated with Apple by reading some of these[1] comments on HN.

> You aren't forced to publish in the app store.

If you don't pay $100 each year to Apple, macOS will treat your app as if it is radioactive. If your users don't know the magic security ritual to run un-notarized apps is, the app will just appear to be broken.

> You can still disable Gatekeeper.

Yes, if you're a power user. Apple is removing the ability to easily run un-notarized software in future macOS releases.

> There's still nothing technically stopping you from avoiding Apple policies.

Apple's literal technical limitations for distribution and execution of applications for apps that can't make it through Apple's approval process for notarization prevents users from using the applications they downloaded but Apple doesn't approve of.

I firmly believe that race is a primary determinant of some human traits and capacities, such as capacity to spend half a day in the sun without getting burnt.

Look, like any religion, both racism and racial equality statements require careful interpretation by certified personnel. Applying common sense will inevitably lead to blasphemy and the producer of the heresy will be burnt at the stake.

Top Ecommerce Web Design Tips for Improving Your Sales
Life in the 21st century is hard to imagine without shopping online. It has become a habit for all of us. However, with such a huge competition, you should always keep your eyes on the ball. To stand out from thousands of competitors, sell more, and make customers loyal, we have prepared the top 8 UI/UX tips for your ecommerce web design product.
And yet data center spend has gone through the roof. Why?
I started using blender around the 1.6x mark I think, back in the 90s. It was the only 3D software I could afford (you could unlock features with a c-key back in those days, I still don't know what c-key means) that would also run on IRIX. I had an SGI o2 back in those days and no clue about how to use any of it.

Blender was difficult to learn, but it was a lot of fun and thankfully the community was extremely helpful with tutorials and what not. When NaN (the company that developed Blender) went belly up in the early 00's I like many others had absolutely zero confidence that Ton and gang would be able to raise the $100k to buy out the IP from the venture capitalists who'd invested in NaN, only to then give it away for free and open source to boot.

It sounded absolutely mad, and I'm overjoyed that Ton and gang managed to prove doubters like myself wrong. Here's to hopefully many more years of success!

Whats wrong with random hole on random private place you own ?
The issue is finding land that is effective for the transition points. You need these private airports to have easy access to highways/existing cargo/delivery infrastructure.

It is usually cheaper to just build your fulfillment center next to an existing airport which already meets these requirements.

You and others are providing a willfully ignorant and overly simplistic presentation of what affirmative action is. Your question is in bad faith.

I don’t agree with a lot of political opinions of others but I don’t try to pretend like I don’t understand where they are coming from. Requiring someone to explain something you already know is how you would keep people eternally occupied with meaningless work, not what you would do to have a fruitful conversation. What you’re doing here is one reason why no one ever makes any progress these days in resolving their differences.

Hi, am I banned from sharing website link?
ECC ram is definitely a consideration. I've appreciated having it when it was around.

The needs of each homelab can be different though. Some homelabs don't need to be that serious from a power/noise/energy cost perspective just to get ECC, unless there is an explicit benefit from it.

Making do without ECC can be perfectly possible for some or most portions of a homelab.
Indeed, I had three theories, from optimistic to cynical:

1. They are sharing increasingly much code between oneDNN (formerly MKL-DNN) and Intel MKL. So, it simply pays of from a development cost perspective.

2. Intel sees AArch64 as a serious competitor. AMD may be an enemy, but at least an enemy on the same architecture. Better to strengthen x86_64 than to give AArch64 too much momentum in HPC. (The #1 supercomputer in TOP500 is AArch64 [1])

3. Write Zen kernels, make them slightly less efficient than the Intel ones. They still beat OpenBLAS et al. in benchmarks, even on Zen. But to HPC customers they can show that Intel CPUs are faster.

I think (1) is somewhat optimistic, given the huge benefit that they had with MKL in HPC. If (1) is not the case, I definitely hope (2) is.

Good reason to pull all crypto into fiat ASAP, store it in a real bank (or really, diversify it - user said that was the "vast vast majority" of their savings, that should never be all in one asset), and report it as other income on your taxes.
Given that the first post in tracker mentions "0,09", I think the comment here may actually be using a Euro standard decimal notation.

So the author may have lost 1.4 BTC, or ~16k. Still a loss, but not 16m.

Is this your long winded way of saying "I'm scared of black people"?

There are plenty of very diverse races living in Europe and nobody is scared of them.
Probably true of locals of every city in the world but Berlin in particular is still very cheap relative to many western EU cities.

Numbeo cost of living index has it 153rd in the world including rent and it's well below places like Houston which is probably the cheapest large top tier city in the US.
Yes, I agree! I was specifically addressing the parent comment's line about "I use a terse programming style." When it comes to functional programmers, they (more than any other group) will take terseness to the extreme in the form of single-letter variable names in inner functions, match forms, etc.

I didn't mean for my comment to be entirely literal, either. Rather, I just meant to say that terseness can impede readability for those who are not yet familiar with the codebase. (But I have personally been on the receiving end of onboarding into a codebase full of literal single-character names, which I found incredibly frustrating.)
You’re lucky enough to have started in the post 2.8 era :)

Things used to be a lot less user friendly interface-wise. It was a major weakness of the program until 2.8 launched and magically fixed everything. The Blender Foundation is REALLY good about interacting with and gauging the needs of the community!
Maybe in the beginning, it looks like gold rush now.
Principle of least surprise: make it work like

>>> f"{1.5} {'hello'} {None}"
'1.5 hello None'

Ruby does that. From [1] "[Array#join] Returns a string created by converting each element of the array to a string, separated by the given separator."

The difference is that nil (Ruby's None) disappears

2.6.5 :001 > [1.5, "hello", nil].join(" ")
=> "1.5 hello "

That's totally expected because in Ruby the conversion of nil into a string is the empty string. Python converts it into the string "None".

[1] https://ruby-doc.org/core-2.6.5/Array.html#method-i-join

Edit: an example with a type that normally wouldn't meaningfully cast to string

2.6.5 :001 > class Example
2.6.5 :002?> attr_accessor :name
2.6.5 :003?> end
=> nil
2.6.5 :004 > e = Example.new
=> #<Example:0x000055a321fa2bb0>
2.6.5 :005 > e.name = "example"
=> "example"
2.6.5 :006 > e.to_s
=> "#<Example:0x000055a321fa2bb0>"
2.6.5 :007 > [1, e].join(" ")
=> "1 #<Example:0x000055a321fa2bb0>"
2.6.5 :008 > class Example
2.6.5 :009?> attr_accessor :name
2.6.5 :010?> def to_s
2.6.5 :011?> "#{name}"
2.6.5 :012?> end
2.6.5 :013?> end
=> :to_s
2.6.5 :014 > e = Example.new
=> #<Example:0x000055a321f8a4c0>
2.6.5 :015 > e.name = "example"
=> "example"
2.6.5 :016 > e.to_s
=> "example"
2.6.5 :017 > [1, e].join(" ")
=> "1 example"
How do we confirm this actually happened? Perhaps I am being cynical, but people have been know to embellish and lie on the internet before? Shouldn't we be able to follow these funds on the ledger?

A real, robust knowledge of the relative danger of steroids is tough to develop.

Because you can’t plausibly do a long-term blinded trial where you take a healthy population and dope them up. The in vitro data is enough to make any institutional review board blanch.

So you have to rely on self-reported usage. Which is incredibly unreliable, and full of confounds. (My bias, my fairly well-informed bias, is that nobody is just doing steroids. There is always another drug or high-risk activity.)

So yeah. Steroids are dangerous. Do we know exactly how bad, especially in comparison to other drugs of abuse? Not as far as I can tell. But bad enough that you should absolutely be wary of steroids. (Also there’s gradations of dangerous. You stay away from trenbolone.)
This feature is the whole point of Bitcoin and blockchain in general. If we just wanted to be able to have balances in banks, the current banking system does it far cheaper with a lot more legal protections.

- Librem 5s for $750 now that the crowdfunding campaign’s over, and a $2000 Made in the US version

You can build a fiat currency system on top of crypto-holding smart contracts just as well as you can build one on top of gold-holding (or T-bond-holding) banks.

The main difference between cryptocurrency and regular currency comes down to interoperability. The infrastructure that handles fiat cryptocurrencies could be built generically, such that a given "bank account" could hold a mix of fiat crypto-tokens, each associated with a given regulatory regime that would validate actions taken upon those tokens.

With regular fiat currency, the currency is effectively a fiction local to a given regulatory regime; but that fiction can also take on other lives as other fictions, if "re-used" in other regimes. (I.e., some other country can use US dollars as "their" currency, with their own rules about how you can spend/exchange those US dollars while you're there.) Effectively, the value of the currency in each economy is independent, a separate fiat declaration of value by the economy that trades in the currency.

And, if you want to "translate" the value of that currency into a different regulatory regime that doesn't "share" in the fiction of that currency, you (or the bank you're interacting with) must exchange it through a ForEx broker (which effectively recycles the source currency back into the regulatory regime it comes from) to attain a different fiat currency regulated by the destination regime.

Cryptocurrency skips all that. You don't need ForEx. Anyone from anywhere can hold anything. It's less like current fiat, and more like commodities trading with each fiat currency being a country-unique export (e.g. an elemental metal only found there) traded on, and valued by, the global market as a whole.

And yet, if someone were holding a hypothetical government-regulated USD token, every interaction that person does with that token would be done with under regulatory validation of the US government. There wouldn't be separate fictions of "the US dollar" in each economy it trades in (as happens in e.g. Venezuela); instead, it'd be more like everyone in Venezuela buying and selling everything by having implicit US bank accounts owned by proxy US citizens beholden to US law, and doing transfers between those accounts.

Of course, at any point you could "cash out" of the fiat currency by exchanging it for some non-regulated token (if the regulatory regime that controls the regulated fiat token allows that exchange to happen.) Just like you can take cash out of a bank, and walk away. (Or more precisely, just like you can buy a non-controlled commodity like gold or oil using your chequing-account balance, and then walk away with the commodity.)
I think it is possible to expand into space while maintaining nature.

The issue is doing it multilaterally, and in such a way that the proceeds are vaguely available to everyone. I don't mean space communism - consider Starlink: Currently it looks useful, but if they were to pollute space (e.g. astronomy) solely for the benefit of the US mainland I think you could easily argue it isn't justifiable internationally.

The current top of the executive branch made it clear that he equates black lives matter with white supremacists.

Miller and Bannon have gone ridiculously out of their way (and gotten thrown out in the courts over and over) to create explicitly racist policies.

They want to spend trillions to build an ineffectual wall to keep out the "other" - and you say that "the only institutional racism is affirmative action" ... that's what I would expect to hear from a white middle class person whose not experienced any hardship due to their race... ever?
Right? I also find the accelerating growth of their dev fund really exciting. Somehow this software just keeps getting more promising!
