Why are you arguing against your wife doing this? Even if you are technically correct about the value of bitcoin, it might still be a good idea, if it's money you can afford to lose.

You both might learn something. It might be fun. It might be a good story. Your wife might appreciate your trust, and trust you to take some other risk that you believe in.

Life is not a competition to make the most rational and well thought out economic decisions.

Not sure why you are getting all zeros in your duration column. Should be setopt ExtendedHistory (Zsh setopts, like Nim identifiers, are "style insensitive").

From the Zsh man page:

EXTENDED_HISTORY <C>
Save each command's beginning timestamp (in seconds since the epoch) and the duration (in seconds) to the history file. The format of this prefixed data is:
`: <beginning time>:<elapsed seconds>;<command>'.

(EDIT: My best guess explanation is some competing/conflicting setopt, but the Zsh mailing list could almost surely help you. Also, `history -fD` may show the correct answer even if the saved file has all 0s.)
I think central banks are distorting the economy in a non good way by artifically lowering interest rates. Low interest rate is driving up house and asset prices. Central banks try and control price inflation by lowering interest rates to get wage/price inflation up to 2% but we live in a globalized market so that dont work.

If C++ compilers had a default mode of rejecting code that was unsafe (any code using raw pointers or unchecked array access, I guess?), then sure- you could call it that. But as it is, no way.
I can't wait until the Tether situation finally comes to pass. Then we can finally stop hearing about how Tether's fraud is some kind of argument against Bitcoin, and also those with a legitimate interest in Bitcoin might be able to purchase it at a cheaper price once Tether's influence is gone.
> we offer plug and play, which is an outsourcing of the contractor, and Ontop hires them

Would just be careful, if the client is still the economic employer that's still a PE trigger, under countries that follow OECD model anyways. Idk I just have some concerns with these models like Remote, Deel, Skuad, Papaya Global, Oyster, etc., in that technically they're likely exposing many of their clients to PE risk w/o the client knowing... if you're sourcing value from country X, incl employment (direct or indirect), country X is going to want you to pay the equiv corp tax, generally speaking.
> Another analysis on security issues in the ubiquitous `curl` command line tool showed that 53 out of 95 bugs would have been completely prevented by using a memory-safe language.

That's not just a command line tool but a library, libcurl, with a command line wrapper. That library is easily used from a myriad of memory-safe languages, which is possible in part because it doesn't foist highly opinionated memory representations onto the caller.

Someone I know had a basic nose surgery (bone deviation) and then she experienced withdrawal symptoms after the surgery because of the anesthetics, which required intervention by professionals and she was unable to work for a month.

Edit: Just to clarify, she was not prescribed any opioids/drugs to be taken post surgery, it was purely the anesthetics.
Three years ago, I decided, for New Years, to try getting addicted to caffeine and alcohol. The caffeine was a rapid success, the effects of which which I still enjoy. After half a dozen bottles of bourbon, I gave up on the alcohol for a lack of interest/effect. Peoples bodies and neurochemistry are simply different.
I think the tone of the article is dangerous.

That coupled with the fact of how heroin is treated in society makes it worse. On top of that, add that not everyone that uses it is healthy and responsible, makes it even worse providing some bad validation. And then, not everyone is capable of making the distinction between fun or addiction early on when an addiction is starting.

I too think it's dangerous.
> Some people don’t know not to mix specific sedatives with opioids. For example, they don’t know not to mix large amounts of alcohol or large amounts of antihistamines. Specific combinations can lead to respiratory depression, which can lead to death. Another point of ignorance involves people who buy street drugs and don’t necessarily know if the drugs contain contaminants. That’s the kind of ignorance I’m talking about.

I feel like he just wrote off 450000 deaths from 1990-2019 with people don't know how to mix alcohol and opioids correctly.

I use Firefox as my main browser (and always have -- just to give some context about where I'm coming from). But Firefox's developer tools are just not as good as Chrome's. Again, I use Firefox. But every couple months or so, I stumble upon some annoying instance where its developer tools are either inadequate or are just buggy (whether it's the element inspector not working, or pausing on a debugger statement and not giving me a source view, or applied CSS rules not showing up, or some weird behavior in the console, or...), and I have to resort to using Chrome's developer tools to get the issue resolved. This easily accounts for 90+% of my Chrome usage (i.e. more than the number of times I've had to resort to opening a website in Chrome because the developers didn't test it in Firefox).
But is inflation a realistic debt-reducing tool in the modern economy? Inflation rates are very low, particularly when considering the debt load. We could quite simply increase the target inflation rate from 2% to 4% inflation, but this would only affect the servicing of the current loans, and the next round to refinancing will correspondingly increase the borrowing rates.

There's still the matter of principal. The US government, for instance, could absolve itself of almost all debt liability by going into high-inflation mode, erasing the burden of most T-bills. Again though, this is a one-shot thing. It could eliminate most of the current debt, but would do nothing about the deficits. As long as large deficits remain (and are politically intractable), it doesn't seem workable in any meaningful sense.

The working quantity of cash out there is also fairly small. The entire point of a bank is that it minimizes the cash in the system by balancing deposits against loans. That means that changing the cash supply will affect the price levels more violently than what would otherwise be expected. That just means that there's less cushion to absorb large amounts of new cash that government issues, again, kind of reducing the benefit of "free" money.

the 2007 crisis wasn't caused by debt. it was caused by huge structures of derivatives based on that debt.
Probably no, but that is not the point. Many UBs are impossible to find automatically, so we'll never know if there are UBs. And if there are, they could be creatively implemented by compilers to get much more damaging bug.
Swings and spikes in generation is considered the achilles heel of renewables, but electrified heating on a smarter grid will go a long way to making that problem go away.

Thermal storage is by far the cheapest energy storage solution currently on the market (or even on the horizon), but it's limited that without highly specialized equipment you can only use thermal storage for thermal activity. Great news, turns out we use a huge amount of energy for heating and cooling.

I'd happily install a bunch of highly insulated water tanks in my basement and use an air (or ground) source heat pump at times electricity is cheap (or renewables are spiking the grid) to store a ton of heat that is slowly released through my house as needed. For cooling there are already commercial solutions that will freeze water when overnight with cheap electricity and then cool the building during the day using the energy required to melt the ice.

The renewable future is far more distributed than our current grid, with generation and storage much physically closer to their actual usage.
That's a false equivalence and you know it. Insulin is not a recreational drug

This article is very clearly about recreational drug use
Have nvidia lost their minds?

It's going to take days for mining operations to reverse-engineer the driver and undo this. So commercial operations won't be affected at all.

Worse, their detection isn't going to be 100% perfect. What if After Effects does something that looks "kind of" like mining. Is it just going to be crippled? What will nvidia do then? Suggest I buy a Quadro for AE support?

This will only penalise average users.
It'll be interesting to see how long it takes for someone to reverse-engineer the drivers and remove the slowdown code.

I’d suppose some of it relates to sites with heavy ads. Safari with no extensions will likely require more resources which makes the comparison a little skewed vs Safari with some ad blocker support added via extensions.

It looks like their test includes plenty of ad heavy sites like news articles which seems to confirm that the results are cherry picked.
> If you have a mortgage or a car loan or a credit card, you’re part of that number. And you certainly owe real money to real lenders.

Yes and on an individual scale like that, it makes complete sense. It's borrowed against my future income, and that I will someday pay off (I mean probably not I'll buy a different house but you know what I mean.)

I'm saying, on a scale of Nations and megacorporations, it's fucking bananas nonsense. According to the Goog, US national debt is 27 trillion. Who do we owe? How did we qualify to borrow that, apart from being if not the center, at least a good chunk of the center, of the world economy? Is anyone in a position to say we can't borrow it? Is there a credit check? Who fails that check, if there is one, because we haven't despite the last several decades of absolutely racking it up.

At this point to analogize the US to a single person (which is reductive and useless but bear with me, I'm making a point), we'd be someone with hundreds of thousands in credit card debt, making a lot of money to be sure, but also carrying four mortgages and making interest only payments, and the bank in question is just still handing us money. And like, I don't think that's great, but also, it's been chugging along more or less fine for as long as I've been around. So... why don't we just stop pretending it means anything? We "owe" some foreign banks... do we? Says who? Who's gonna enforce that? Are they gonna foreclose America? The only time I've ever seen countries actually brought to their knees by banking is when a tiny one gets too uppity about getting screwed on the global economy scale, at which point we send in Marines to remind them who's in charge. Who's gonna do that to us?
You have a re-possessible and appreciable asset leveraged. You also aren't renewing your debt. 600% of your salary in credit card or student or medical debt is dire.
If you cannot buy it because miners have purchased all the stock, do you really own it?

With all due respect I disagree with DJB here. I can't see how his proposal would significantly improve the current status quo. Note step one of his self-described "straightforward" transition plan (emphasis mine):

>0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef to 192.5.6.30: The client sends a UDP packet to the .com DNS server asking for the address of www.google.com. The client software, intermediate computers, and server software have all been upgraded to handle the client's extended address.

A lot of work in this one "straightforward" step. I know that DJB is a great network engineer, so I'm willing to consider that I'm missing the point here, but at the very least I don't find this particular exposé very convincing.

>If we take this black and white approach then we must say that C++ is not C compatible just like Ada isn't C compatible.

Agreed, in a parent comment I mention C++ being effectively mostly compatible with C. But I can't really imagine how you could do something like that with a memory-safe subset of C. The changes involved are pretty thorough (you basically either need a garbage collector or a borrow checker). Things like raw pointers (especially nullable ones) can't really exist in their current form in a memory safe language.
Thanks for your extra thoughts -- I think they add some very relevant color that I was intentionally omitting.

I think there are lot of loaded words in our political vocabulary and their meaning can have subtle (or even significant) shifts based on who uses them. If "virtue signaling" includes a connotation of insincerity, and that aspect changes everything entirely as you show.

I used it in a more strictly technical sense, but I think it fair to say that with most language the neutral, technical version is the least common in actual usage.
> I reached a point where I could barely hear the podcast I was trying to listen to. That's how loud the fan was.

> focuses mainly on memory usage

I mean I get it, Chrome is not the most efficient browser out there and Safari is more efficient in terms of memory and power usage. I'd probably use Safari as my daily browser if I didn't depend on Chrome's dev tools.

What's the tradeoff though? Usually you sacrifice memory to spare the CPU, and vice versa.
In the past I've responded "it's personal" when they ask why I'm cancelling. That seems to work.

As the world aims to braze the trail in every aspect post-pandemic, IT is becoming the lighthouse for growth in almost all the countries. Where some businesses endeavor for the same by hiring internal professionals, others are preferring to outsource IT tasks for distinguished reasons. After all, it is a great alternative to get things done effectively and professionally without facing trials and turbulence.
You're so right. First give me all of your money, it's an illusion anyway.
You're applying standards of a modern nation state to a historical multi-ethnic empire. These regions were not occupied but simply under government rule. Of course with the rise of nationalism in the 19th century there were signs and instability starting to show up. The split into an Austrian and a Hungarian part was the first step in satisfying nationalist grievances.

Believe me. I'm keenly aware of the causes of WW1. Maybe it's you who isn't aware that Franz Ferdinand himself was planning to federalize the empire[1]. Of course this never took place since he was assassinated by Serbian nationalists and then WW1 and the eventual dissolution of Austria-Hungary happened.

And again: 'Colony' in modern parlance generally refers to overseas territories

I wouldn't consider that by itself as representative of anything - it's completely normal that people get upset about other people for all kinds of subjective reasons, that's normal free speech and diversity of opinions, I'm not the one to judge whether their upset is justified or not.

But what seems problematic for me is when institutions react to random outrage groups (which often are very vocal but small groups) on social media by blindly joining in the outrage and rapidly severing ties with people (firing them, removing authors, etc) without a serious investigation of what - if any - actual wrongdoing there was, what were the circumstances, etc. I would expect some semblance of due process instead of "just" doing what the crowd says immediately for PR reasons.

Even if you stick to "modern C++" and never use C-style pointers, arrays, enums or unions, it is still trivial to have memory errors in C++.

Imagine for a moment that you are the most evil person ever. Why would you harm/kidnap a child? There is no gain for the most part - the kid's parents probably cannot afford enough of a ransom to pay for your time. and even if they do it is hard to collect without getting caught. There are much better crimes you can commit to satisfy your evil desires.

This, exactly.

I think there are three reasons why non-textual programming is constricted to a few domains, and is not widespread as general-purpose:

- As you point out, all the tooling around programming like editors, exchange formats, version control, debuggers etc. are only available for text, rendering everything else generally unusable.

- There are many failed attempts, with many still being textual in the end, only with over-the-top syntax highlighting, such as Scratch. These attempts have paved the way of non-textual programming with gravestones, making the field look like a graveyard, so nobody wants to get into it anymore. Scratch might still have its place in education as an gentle introduction to the concepts of programming, but no software developer is seriously going to use it for any big project.

- People are used to text and they will reject other approaches instinctively. You can read many statements in this discussion here like: "Graphical programming would make your head explode", which I think is similar to how people where afraid of using trains in the early days: "Driving to fast will kill you" and "Nobody can survive such speeds". It might take a whole new generation of programmers to accept anything non-textual as intuitive (which is why it could become popular with artists and designers I think).
There were a few cases of multiple children missing in major cities (like the Atlanta child murders, 28 dead in two years), and also the proliferation of cable news. The former was a valid, regional, concern but people let it blow up into a more national fear.

Cable news, in turn, started emphasizing singular disappearances/killings (not serial cases), which further exacerbated this fear. When you have 24 hours of coverage on CNN and 10 of them are about "Missing Girl in California", your perception of how common this is gets distorted. It's a singular case, but seeing it all the time causes people to perceive it as a frequent thing instead of the relatively rare thing it is in most of the country.
The UK has one of these things too. 90% of the time the response is "the government has no comment on the matter" and it just gets closed.

Mechanistic transmission modeling of Covid-19 on the Diamond Princess
Your brain is physically changed the first time you use heroin. There's no going back to normal. There was the person who you were before heroin and the person who you are after using heroin. If you manage to quit heroin, ten years after kicking your heroin habit, you're still thinking about heroin. Twenty years later, you're still thinking about heroin. You never stop thinking about heroin until you die. Every painful event in your life triggers the impulse to reach for the heroin, just as you did the first time. You get to collect sobriety tokens and tell strangers how you've been living life on the straight and narrow. The only redemption you may find is by helping other people cope with addiction. Heroin addiction isn't overcome. You learn how to live with it.
