This corresponds to my tourist experience. Compared to Italy or Spain, Finland has a lot of people with an obvious drink problem.

Maybe it is in the wine vs. vodka difference; vodka, being much more concentrated, will wreak havoc on internal organs sooner. Including brain and liver.
But there were old gen Intel 13" MBPs without the touch bar. They added those into the M1 macs that replaced those old models. Clearly, they could simply have... not, if they were indeed thinking of removing the touchbar entirely.
Crypto today is pretty wild. Most of the crypto currencies are trash with good intentions or straightforward scam. On the other hand, the flaws make it a great opportunity for those who dare.

OK, yes, that's a fair point. But it's not clear to me that pumping being taken away would be a bigger change than people trying to get out of USDT and buying BTC.

Also we've been there (mtgox's willy etc). I don't think bitcoin will be much less volatile any time soon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbZ8zDpX2Mg

Its a hangover for 10 years ago when low end laptop touchpads were pretty bad.

I find my carbon X1 touchpad nicer to use than my 15" macpro.

Although I am impressed how well they made the haptic tap feel like a real button on the mac.
A GTX1080 manages about ~9 TFLOPS(fp32) (and has terrible fp16 support), where V100 gets ~15 TFLOPS(fp16), ~30 TFLOPS(fp16), and ~120 TFLOPS(tensor cores).

Apart from one being a gaming product and the other being designed for computational tasks, they're a generation apart and have various small differences that may be quite relevant for individual tasks (such as V100 allowing twice the shared memory - 96 KiB - per thread block)
Is that the complete O'Reilly learning site (videos, instructor led courses, interactive sandboxes) or just the books?
They would be physical buttons, I don't understand your comment.
Smaller trackpad models could ignore my palms. The latest generation not so much. I’m on a 16” MacBook Pro.

Not only that, but if you set up Workspaces in Chrome (https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/work...) you can edit files stored on your computer using devtools, making it even more like an IDE.
Sure, there are race bugs that can in theory be affected by things like that.

That's also one thing I was thinking of when I read about the zooming thing.

VR might be a new chance for Oberon to win out as a new paradigm. For a 3D based file/document manager, with 3D space instead of infinite zooming.

Not sure how that would work but it's clear that the current way of actually working in VR is not efficient. Usually some curved virtual screens are presented and you're left to feel around for your actual keyboard & mouse for input. Talking about stuff like Virtual Desktop and https://immersedvr.com . For example, why do you still have virtual 'monitors' in VR, why not have the windows free floating? It's only a retro constraint that makes no sense anymore.

It's like a vegetarian eating veggie burgers at McDonalds. Yeah it works, but it's mainly for 'conversion'/familiarity purposes and doesn't get the most out of the new paradigm.
Also, Namespacing and search paths are a concept in every environment where people name things. Be it the filesystem or a programming language itself.

Even in normal Life, when identifying people or things, we have concepts of this everywhere. How can people see that as pointless?
This is my experience with Jamulus, too. However, to get down to 10-40ms, you need to setup your tech as follows.

- ethernet instead of wlan

- dedicated audio interface, takes calculation overhead off your computer

- a proper microphone, improves acoustics greatly

All of these steps will increase Zoom/Skype experience, too. However, Zoom/Skype will hardly go below 100s of ms of latency, just by themselves.
Yes but doesn't preparing the food require at least a semblance of a kitchen? I mean you need a fridge, a sink, a countertop and all the utensils. Adding a real stovetop/oven combo doesn't take up that much space.
Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for the correction!
We're talking about beginners. Presumably they start with HTML and then ask what they should learn next. Let's save the madness of Typescript and tree shaking until after they've achieved some initial wins. Let's start with algebra before calculus.

Bitcoin is supposed to be a store of value, is it not? If most of this 'value' stored turns out not to be real, the implications for the price of Bitcoin are not good. If the value of USDT falls to nothing then USDT holders trying desperately to offload aren't going to create much demand for BTC, compared with what was being created when new USDT supposedly worth a dollar entered the system every day. And if the price of BTC falls, it isn't a very good store of value any more so people who have traded legitimately earned wealth for BTC have an even stronger incentive to sell. If 70% of gold's daily trading volume was down to orders based on fake gold securities, it would also be a very bad time to hold gold (but at least if you took a big enough loss you'd find someone that wanted it for reasons other than their belief about its ability to hold value)

It amazes me how Bitcoiners scream 'hyperinflation' every time the Fed prints more money (with the goal of increasing prices by 2% annually) and yet struggle to understand the relationship between Tether printing dollar-denominated crypto-purchasing vouchers (with the goal of increasing crypto prices by as much as possible) and the supposed dollar price of BTC

Crucial knowledge is gradually embedded in/embodied by industrial capital.

In parallel, we’ve been defunding schools and the healthcare system (in Europe, at least), because people just aren’t worth the expense.

Education professionals in their late 30s tell me that the attention span and abstract thinking abilities of children of all ages have drastically declined over the last 10 years. Screen time (including the parents’) is the most likely culprit.

It is an interesting perspective. I disagree with Dr. Devereaux in his take, but agree with his proscriptions.

His analogy has strengths and weaknesses. Dealing with the main weaknesses: ancient Athens is not modern America. In a Greek city state, most of everyone would have in the city so having the power to size the public spaces while your opposition was in them would have been equivalent to breaking their military - citizens and military were largely equivalent. A modern insurrection and and ancient insurrection play out very differently.

Dealing with the main strength - yeah, the animating spirit of the mob and the ancient insurrections would have been somewhere between similar and identical. A large mob of people will sometimes attempt to do something and will try to make it happen until they meet resistance or go to bed. That is a general risk that large groups of people transition to mobs, and that is why modern states, by and large, need some sort of military and policing power.

But the issue here is that the punitive measures are being escalated to right-wing political leadership without any sense of perspective to (1) a rather extended series of "peaceful" left-wing protest in 2020 that went violent in 5-10% of cases with enormous community costs and (2) Republican leadership, including Trump, are fighting ... using the court, which is a perfectly acceptable avenue and the three tries of "Peisistratos" is now called "having an election every couple of years" - also an accepted avenue. There is manifest evidence that most of the mob did not intended to be violent the morning of - violent protestors would come prepared with guns. It escalated on the day as protests are known to do sometimes. The police were underprepared.

It isn't acceptable, a lot of people need to be arrested, changes are needed to police tactics if nothing else. But the retaliation including an internet purge of right-wing aligned personalities and businesses (and impeaching Trump without taking the time to draw breath) is much more damaging than the ghostly ember of a mob. The knee-jerk overreaction is a low-thought decision making response that has far more in common with mob mentality than the thoughtful approach to governance and discourse which work in the long-term. The hazard posed by this mob - as in, the part inherent to it without considering the government response - was arguably not worst the States has seen in this decade. Even if it got further into the Capitol than most.

Then you have been proven wrong by history since Facebook went back on their word in both cases meaning you can't trust them or Facebook for that matter to do any better than a startup company profitable or not.
This is a really important article if you want to get the most out of your speakers or studio monitors. When I was working on my home studio, I found that the position of the monitors had a huge impact on how they sounded.

It took a good few days of moving the monitors & measuring the response, but I believe I was able to find a position that is usable & makes up for some of the deficiencies of my room.

I agree those are problems, but I don't see startups solving them (except for nr. 2).

ad 1) There are already quite easy ways to be somewhat resilient - people who do that are preppers, who are by majority considered to be crazy. Content preservation probably can't be really done on company level because it would be ripe with copyright abuses and in case of SHTF it would be impossible to actually deliver the content to people who want it. Maybe there is small market specialized archiving systems with hundreds of TB space for personal digital archivists, but that's about it. If the owner of data/content wants have it safely backed up it can be already done easily.

ad 3) that's for academia and open source to solve, because a) no one would believe private company it's not showing good numbers so the current government looks better and b) elections are won by being in opposition to current governments and offering "improvements", having long term plans would be contrary to that. And deriving correct actions from the hard data would be impossible because current state of economical, sociological and environmental sciences (even medicine is here with regard to health policies) is such that they can't really be called science (replication crisis).
I use these magnetic USB-C adpaters on my phone, it works fine for charging and data transfer:

https://a.aliexpress.com/_BSorDx

I haven't tried more extensive tests (e.g. video out) but I don't see any real reason why Apple couldn't make a more official (i.e. USB-C certified) version. As the sister comment says, if it's for power only then it is simpler.

I'd imagine rather than adapters like this, you would plug in a cable that has a magnetic joint somewhere near the end that can 'break' if pulled.

Perhaps his legacy isn't so great

My macbook has terrible sharp edges that dig into your wrist, the usb-c ports are so close together I cant put 2 plugs in as they hit each other, one of the keys is faulty because its a butterfly model, it has wizz bang touch bar but no physical mic mute button, a few key caps have worn off as they are laser etched rather than double shot, the giant touchpad sometimes zooms while typing at random if my palms hit it in some combination it assumes is a zoom gesture.

Overall his designs are great for the showroom but suck for usability.

> And 10 years later: people want ways to write a ten liner, in one line compressed.

There is nothing wrong with that. People want to work with higher-level concepts, which allows them to solve more complex problems without burning their brains out. I'd go as far as saying that the utility of a programming language is measured in its ability to compress code with abstractions. All this means you have to first understand the abstractive tooling and the abstraction itself before you can work with it, but this is how it should be. Most programming languages are tools, not toys.

The alternative would be to handicap all programming, make it impossible to solve complex problems with it for the sake of beginners, who want to get accolades without putting in work. You can't run an industry on participation trophies. By this line of thinking, we wouldn't have this conversation because inventing computers took work. Hell, none of us would have any conversation whatsoever, because language itself is something that takes years to learn.

Prime example of how you NOT write assembly code, no matter what cpu are you using.

First thing first, macro assemblers have been around for at least 40+ years. So don't use numbers in your code. use macros or defines.

Ex. you can compile with gcc flags -x assembler-with-cpp

and you can have nice defines in your code.

Second on a decent OS even in assembly link against operating system call library, no matter what. The system call numbers can change. so use symbols.

Also don't write the string length in the code, it's total lame.

and use .asciz not .ascii

and define your function symbols to function gcc:

.global my_func_name
.type my_func_name, function
my_func_name:

if you use C preprocessor for assembly compile just make an include like this:

#define _FUNCTION(A) .global A ;\
.type A, function

EDIT:
For the not well informed HN readers:

https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/qa/qa1118/_index...

"Apple does not support statically linked binaries on Mac OS X. A statically linked binary assumes binary compatibility at the kernel system call interface, and we do not make any guarantees on that front. Rather, we strive to ensure binary compatibility in each dynamically linked system library and framework."

So DON'T write direct system call numbers in your code!
It most definitely does NOT use that OS. That is a ridiculous claim.

I am based out of Europe. I am a developer here. I have worked in a different tech market before coming here - India.

The whole of Europe's tech scene is smaller than India's. I think that is the reason for the pay gap. Even despite that the pay for engineers is significantly above the median wage.

I live in the Netherlands and I make a salary similar to doctors, lawyers and dentists. So the face value of the salary may be lower but it is a lot for here.
Yes, but did you ever seen his analysis as first party?
Really good article, recommended read for anyone interested in crypto.

For me, it's almost 100% aligned with what I've felt was going on with Tether in the last 2 years.

Also, it sort of crystallized an answer to a question I've had about Binance for quite a while: how did they manage to get so big, so fast.

Answer: easy, they never had to establish proper on and off ramps to the traditional banking system and lured customers with unreasonable leveraged offers (which BTW is another Tether-related scam in itself: if you are an exchange with a shit ton of USDT, you can manipulate the price up and down, and trigger artificial margin calls whenever you damn please).

The real interesting question is though: what will happen when (not if) Tether explodes. There will be a sudden huge demand for exiting from USDT, and the only way looks like buying BTC on semi or fully fraudulent unbanked exchanges (good luck with that).

This will also trigger a big price unbalance between exchanges, and it remains to be seen if arbitrage channels will be able to weather the storm and if so for how long.

If you hold USDT, better get out quick unless you want to be left holding the bag.

If you hold BTC (as in: for real, in your own wallet, not on some shady exchange, not your keys not your coins), it's likely the BTC ecosystem is going to undergo a very large "event". Up or down, who knows.

If you hold BTC on an exchange, especially a shady one with 100x leverage type offerings, get your coins out of there ASAP before you get BTC-E'd [1]
