I might have a very cynical look here, and if so, I apologize. I do not agree with this cynical look (in terms of taking action on it), but I do think that this is how a part of the blockchain world operates.

While blockchain is a revolutionairy technology, to some degree, it's a much more revolutionary political tool in order to raise funds.

The revolutionary technology part is that we have a new P2P technique that allows for decentralized consensus, which is amazing! However, as the author implicitly points out, there are quite a few limited uses for this.

Blockchain as a political tool however means that the project founder is suddenly able to raise money. I personally know a few people that simply said "yep, we're doing blockchain" only because it allowed them to raise million(s) of dollars. And otherwise they couldn't.

I know from one founder that he is serious with that project had that idea for years, and blockchain was the political tool in order for him to raise money. The other founder simply wanted to use 50% for development, 25% for community engagement and he wants to take the other 25% as profit.

I'm not here to judge. I'm simply writing this comment, because I feel that some people look too technically at blockchain and disregard the rest, while I feel that people need to be aware of this political side of blockchain. The strong idealism and believe in a high ROI is what fuels the IPOs (still to this day). Because of that, people will invest in it and create new projects with it.
What "wrong opinions" did they have that were so egregious as to get banned?
You can indeed say that - and people who demand artists work for "exposure" often do.

But there's no evidence it's factually correct.

And Bandcamp's model is based on selling tracks and albums with free previews, which is entirely different to free listening.
It would be great if generics could be used by a small team of professional Go developers who clearly understand strong and weak sides of generics. Unfortunately this is impossible in real world :( I predict that generics in Go will lead to much more poorly written hard to read and debug packages and apps.
>tons of productive developers manage without having spent 10s-100s hours on a VM-per-project homelab setup.

Tons of them also don't know how a OS works or how networks are made. Often that's no a problem, until it is one.
For Zoom I suspect you are right. I think the engineers know what it means. But I have met a disturbing number of engineers (in security oriented jobs) who do not understand what the term means.
Why would they just want their original investment back? They'd demand 5 or 10x the original amount (as VCs) which completely wipes out the acquisition.
> Back in 2005, the company started migrating those apps from Fortran and C/C++ to server-side JavaScript, with client-side JavaScript arriving around 2012

Okay, I need another article about why in 2005 they chose to rewrite everything to server side JavaScript? That seems like, I don't want to say a bad decision that also led to all the issues and effort this article describes, but it kinda seems like it. In any case, it seems like an odd choice to make, especially in 2005, and especially coming from a fortran/c++ code base. So would love to hear about that and a retro on it.
Thank you for taking the time to answer! I hope that in time eink displays will become more relevant, I really think that they are the best solution for many applications.
Read it and you will see.

We have working prototypes of smaller displays in house, but I do not think E Ink offers large format solution. There is one caveat with color - the refresh rates are still not quite there yet (we've seen ~5-10s for the 4096 color version), but we've seen considerable improvment recently.

I think it's just a good use-case away. Perhaps we'll see the screens break out in the education space first and then the rest of industry as well, but we're looking at various applications with color and we might be first.

Exagear is originally from the Russian company Eltechs and was targeted to running x86 apps on SBCs like the Raspberry Pi. e.g. they provided Ubuntu images with wine to run windows apps on a Pi.

They discontinued the product beginning of 2019 and presumably? got bought by Huawei.

Notion does all kinds of awful stuff. It’s horribly inefficient, reimplementing uncommonly large part of the functionality of the browser, in custom, very buggy ways. A large part of its problems stem from an absurd abuse of contenteditable when viewing pages: it makes everything contenteditable, and then tries to undo what that means with JavaScript (and makes a hash of it, of course). Related, its keyboard accessibility is terrible (try navigating around!).
It's a very niche product. Most people opt for modern OLED displays for consumer needs, so it's really a chicken and egg problem. I'm sure if you start buying in bulk companies will notice. Sony is working on a bunch of consumer E Ink devices and I'm sure they would be more than comfortable doing this at scale, as long as there is a need.

That reminds me of this blogpost [1]. It's definitely possible to optimize the input latency of rich text editors in the browser: they just have to be close to the metal of the 'contenteditable' browser api.

> It pretty much did, but then Rails and Ruby's hype cycle faded a bit

It was Rails' hype cycle that turned me off using Ruby & Rails in the first place. It had more in common with the cult I grew up with than I wanted to be part of, and made it hard for a sceptical outsider to get in.

Which is a shame as I think I'd have enjoyed it very much.
Bitcoin requires a linear history (apart from the genesis block and the currently latest block, every block has exactly one parent and one child). If a block has multiple children, the one with the longest chain (of children) is selected in turn. The child (and its subchildren in turn) that is not selected is called "stale", and its transactions are effectively undone.

This could be a used to try do a "double spend" (send X bitcoins to address A, rollback the transaction, send the same bitcoins to B instead). However, according to the OP's analysis that hasn't been attempted (yet), and the active chain is far enough ahead that it seems unlikely that the stale chain would ever catch up and overtake it.

Although I am fascinated by _why's personality and his art, I think this book is partly to blame that Ruby is not as popular as it could (and should) have been. It somehow embodies that proto-hipster vibe the Ruby community used to have at the beginning, which alienated a lot of potential users. Luckily I managed to overcome that initial hurdle (the Pickaxe book helped a lot), but a lot of (good) developers I know haven't, and lots of them stayed with ASP (and its later offspring) and PHP.
I don’t have any issue and am noise sensitive. The real bugbear is the Synology that’s next to it. 16TB drives are very very noisey. They chatter constantly and it drives me mad. This may also cover the fan noise.

The NUCs are in a hallway cupboard, so aren’t next to me when working and this would also lessen the noise.

I believe you hit the nail on the spot :-) I especially like your point on anti depressants. We can also take alcohol (in whatever amount) into the equation. I know, its called "alcohol and drugs", but alcohol is simply a [regulated] drug. It doesn't fit the narrative of 'drugs are bad, mkay' though, but I believe that narrative is even on mainstream on the way out.

> How did Lou Reed or Kurt Cobain’s harder drug use affect their music?

As a kid I read the book "Come As You Are" about Kurt Cobain (who was kind of a music idol to me, long before I could understand English well enough to understand the texts). He had severe back troubles, supposedly stemming from his choice of going left-handed guitar player. He was both left and right-handed, supposedly (elsewhere, from what I understood, people who are both are actually left-handed but partly adapted to right-handed world).

As with Philip K. Dick, I can totally imagine a writer on amphetamines. I'm a former Ritalin (Methylphenidate) user (legal with subscription). Whenever that worked, I could finally focus. Uppers help you focus for a while.
I'm confused.. it was unlimited before? I received an email saying my google drive quota (16.5 of 17gb) was reaching its limits and I needed to buy google one to go over that.

I've been using this to ssh into my work laptop from my windows desktop since wfh started.

I use tmux to keep persistent sessions on the laptop. The problem with Windows Terminal is that, for this setup at least, the redraw is incredibly slow. If I compile something, or even just ls a long directory, it will lag horribly, sometimes taking minutes to catch up.

Anyone else getting this? Know a workaround?
I don't really have a goal. Relationships with interesting people of whatever form are worth having regardless of the outcome. I've been in serious committed relationships, and single and having flings or just physical fun.

Being open minded, meeting a lot of people, and seeing what happens is the best way to meet a long term partner in my opinnion.

Every time I'm single, I'm out there meeting new people for everything from one night stands to flings to casual relationships and on occasion you realize that the person you're seeing that started just casually is the one you want to be with seriously. It's what has happened to me a couple times and again recently.

> In Netherlands

Off-topic, but it really is `the Netherlands`; not unlike "the United Kingdom".

As Dutchmen myself, I too often see software doing this wrong, which is why I mention it here; in dropdowns, validations, invoices etc. When you design a "country dropdown", its `the Netherlands`, and it comes after `Nepal` and before `Netherlands Antilles`, and it should be highlighted when someone types `net`. Often one can "solve" the sorting by moving the `the` to the back: `Netherlands, the`, `United Kingdom, the`, though that's a bit of a hack more than an actual solution.

No, you're missing recent US feminist-related Family Court changes:

- no-fault divorce, often at no expense to women

- men almost always paying for divorce, child support, and lawyer fees, often reaching 100% of their assets

- false allegations always punish men unless they have video evidence to the contrary. Divorce lawyers encourage women "to remember" any such events, real or imaginary.

> A marriage is supposed to be difficult to get out of, to disincentivize broken families.

You're very, very misinformed.

In California, all it takes is one phone call to a divorce attorney, and a mom can set the wheels in motion to take almost 100% of the assets of her (formerly) middle-class husband. It's that easy.

Family Court has made it absurdly easy to break up families.

If you work for a living, then protect yourself and never get married or have kids in California. Absolutely never.
Prisma | Technical Lead: Control Plane | Remote | Full-Time

Until now, Prisma has been fully focused on developer adoption. Now hat we have seen successive months of consistent growth, we are ready to start building out our first enterprise product. The Technical Lead will adopt two developers from the existing team and work closely with the CEO, VP Product and our small Sales Engineering team. Our language is Rust but learning on the job is totally fine - we are more interested in experience building and operating robust high-scale servers and the challenges around deploying to enterprises.

Some of my friends definitely had difficulty dating offline. Nice and shy, might not know what to say in a first date, can seem a bit boring at first, and also just doesn't have a big social circle to meet other people.

I feel online dating gave them a chance to meet some other people, pre-meet prior to first date, and than go on a first date, which they'd otherwise wouldn't have been able too. Either from never meeting the person in the first place, never asking to go out on a date, or messing up that date.

That's all my personal analysis though, like I have no data here appart from a few people I know and my interpretation.
Americans come from a country where, in living memory, having a different colour skin removed whole areas of your legal rights. Interracial marriage was banned in several states until roughly the time of the moon landings. This is why Americans are rather touchy about people making light of racism.
For the longest time we've been unable to get ActivityWatch [1] (an open-source automated time-tracker) to work reliably on Wayland due to the inability in many Wayland DEs to retrieve the title and app name of the active window.

Things have improved recently (in part due to our own efforts to submit PRs to DEs), but we still need one implementation per DE more or less, since many don't implement the "common" Wayland protocol to accomplish this (Gnome, KDE).

Clubs are probably one of the worst place to meet people. No way to really converse and the best you can hope for is to meet someone drunk who wants to fuck. Not ideal for actually meeting people.

Most people are actually quite friendly and open to chatting. Talk to the people around you at bars, restaurants, parks. Offer to help people. Conversations happen naturally, just be open and confident. If you struggle with that, maybe some more structured group activities help break the ice (e.g. attend a class, sport, volunteer somewhere, etc.)
2U ones seem to give more options for quiet cooling, but the noise on almost any rack server as it boots or comes under load really is incredible.

You like an ANTI-meritocracy statement? We truly have gone backwards.
Here's another idea: A user is expected to flip quickly through pages after a quick evaluation of each page. Server push makes flipping the pages instant, and the hit rare is 80% at least.

Server push is extremely elegant, though it competes with more complex (scripting) approaches which the Valley hipster crowd adores. Usually that crowd lacks any hint of imagination, but they're not the only ones building technology solutions.
Bumble is humuliating and outright discriminating for men. Yes I'm aware of the the flood of matches and of unwanted messages the women receive.

> is it a coincidence they met through online dating, or was it the cause of finding someone

Do you mean like... Given enough time they'd have married someone offline as well?

I think some of them that are more socially active offline probably, but some I could see easily going a long time without. There's a lot of people who have really small social circles without any new face coming into it ever. And they don't have the motivation or personality to go and seek it out in real life, but do if it's behind a screen at home in their pijamas.

While back there was a stigma a bit around online dating too, which I think has gone away now.
I'm on the other end: Why is furniture so damn cheap? It uses natural resources, causes waste, needs transport, and above all, needs manufacturing, by craftsman and women.

My wife repairs (upholstery) furniture and car interiors; with european wages, refurbishing, say, your designer-office chair or sofa easily costs upwards of €2000

(the answer, I'm afraid, is that "manufacturing" is cheap because of defacto slavery (sweatshops) of state subsidy (China), that "waste" and ecological footprint is not included in the price, and transport also subsidised by both the far-too-cheap "overseas" labor, and often even direct from states.)

I assume there's some difference in e.g. speed or reliability between Fastly (8 c/GB) and CDN77 (1.6 c/GB)? Even if you can negotiate it to 0.8 c/GB, you're still talking about a huge piece of the PSF's budget. They would have to either cut other expenditure (e.g. making grants) dramatically, or find a lot of new income (continuously, not just a one-off donation drive). And PyPI's bandwidth is growing rapidly [1].

If PyPI didn't have sponsor providing bandwidth, I'd guess it would implement some form of rate limiting and encourage people to mirror/cache packages much more to reduce load. I don't think it would die completely, but it would be less convenient and still cost the PSF a fair bit of money.
