Let me give you an example:

I invested a nice sum of money in November 2019.

Option 1: BTC from 9300 to 48000 means 5x

Option 2: TSLA from 62 (pre-split) to 796 means 12x. (much much more via calls)

Which do you think I went for?
Which strategy do you think will continue to make reliable money in the future?
Not a great solution, since people often aren't carrying cellular phones, but are almost always clothed. I think the point is that this can be used at almost any time, compared to a phone which someone will often be without?

That is a cool paper (and there is an unpaywalled PDF [1]), but what that it shows is not that the Z3 is Turing complete, but that a larger machine comprising a Z3 and a piece of sticky tape is Turing complete. The Z3 as built and used was not Turing complete.

Moreover, the technique in the paper is purely a stunt. You couldn't do practical branching computation that way. It is definitely cool, but it doesn't change the fact that the Z3 was a calculator, not a computer.

A shared belief in intrinsic value? What's the calculation then that results in the current bitcoin price without referring to it's existing or historical price?

The stock market goes up because you are looking at a market index of the biggest companies, which are growing bigger as markets concentrate. The difference is if you have a share for a year, it earns you a return separate to what happens to the price of the stock (i.e. a dividend), and this is the intrinsic value (i.e. you can do a fundamental analysis of the stock to reach a price). If you hold onto a Bitcoin for a year it might be worth more, but only because the market is pricing it differently, not because of any fundamentals. This is why it does not have intrinsic value.
Deep PostgreSQL Thoughts: The Linux Assassin
the saddest thing is people see it as a success because its price has gone up.

But the entire idea behind it was to be a decentralized currency. Its absolutely failed at that. What its succeeded at is being a speculative gambling instrument like beanie babies or tulips.

So yes, it's "successful" currently in that its price is going up, but no, no one actually uses or cares about using it as a currency or buys it for any other reason than they think they can sell it to a greater fool sometime later.

TSLA has been at peak hype for 5+ years.
This doesn't necessarily mean you're invalid, but if BTC increased 100x, they'd exceed the world's GDP. So... yeah, though maybe you can't say that's impossible, if by some miracle BTC became the dominant currency in a (much richer) future.
Cool to see ArabiaWeather using D, especially with a link to the talk. For someone from that region (the Levant) I rarely see any organizations in the Arab world discussing tech, simply because they usually outsource most of the work to nearby tech hubs like India.
That's exactly my attitude towards it too. But this has also given me a strong lesson for the future. If I get in on the ground floor of anything and decide to sell out, always keep a little skin the game that you don't touch.. because you never know if it'll go big.

Don't be so sure... atoms and even relatively large molecules definitely experimentally exhibit [1] wave particle duality in double slit experiments demonstrating they move as waves. Given that absolutely nothing is stationary at any temperature above absolute zero, what are you touching and with what?

I wasn't into early Twitter or Facebook, but were they also full of scammers and hustle type people? Seems like 99% of my Clubhouse feed is Bitcoin, stonks, etc. I mean I just looked and there's a room (whatever they call it) titled "Entrepreneur Millionaire Secrets". Why is this being recommended to me? No idea.

Also, I'm either too out of the loop to get it, or just a bad user because I honestly have no idea how to use Clubhouse. Any room I join I can't talk in. There's no way to contribute to discussion. On top of that, most rooms have 100s or even 1000s of people in them. I don't get what this app is, or how it's supposed to work.

Even the musk interview with the Robhinhood guy wasn't that good. Would have been much better as an actual thought out podcast.
> I have wrapped a large C++ library for Go

How well does it work the other way round - calling Go from C/C++? IIRC when I first looked into doing that, it wasn’t really possible - only threads that were started by Go could run Go code. In particular, `main` had to be in Go and couldn’t be in C++. Does that restriction still apply?
I'll take Knuth's ideas on goto over Dijsktra's any day, not just because Knuth has been the better thinker and writer, but also because he wrote TeX and other software.

Remember when structured programming was going to fix everything? Well, neither do I, but it still had a ton of momentum as a panacea when I was learning to program. Grown-ups with access to real computers would sniff at our BASIC machines and quote Djikstra at us.
> If you can choose what to work on, and you choose a project that's not the best one (or at least a good one) for you, then it's getting in the way of another project that is.

I get that this is true but for me personally I feel it's what holds me back the most in life. I rarely finish projects, not because I get bored with them but because I always think some other project would be a better use of my time.
Arquero – Query processing and transformation of array-backed data tables
Which is, funnily enough, roughly how it's programmed.

Each entity has a state, time is advanced, and the threads run through their queue of entities and update their state, along with the state of connected entities. Since some entities interact directly with other entities (such as two fluid pipe segments), these queues are ordered (so the fluid movement and pressure calculations make sense).

For example, a belt would advance the items on it 1/60th of its speed. Inserters would look to see if there's room in the destination, if there are items within their reach on the belt, and start moving to pick them up. Assemblers would check to see if they're currently building something, if they're full (the quantity that determines "full" is based on whether there's an outgoing inserter attached), if they have the necessary ingredients in their incoming buffer, and start incrementing the creation timer. The outgoing inserter would check for items in the assembler's output, grab them, and so forth.
I imagine that's the majority of people who've heard of it.
Congrats on the launch!

I was one of those guys thinking Amplitude was all that I needed. By trying your tool, I realized that indeed analytics weren't supposed to be that hard to setup.
How does that work? As I understand it the D GC scans the stack and the GC heap memory for pointers (or values looking like pointers) to determine which objects are reachable. But can the GC scan memory allocated by malloc? How does it know whether a value allocated with malloc has since been freed?
Cool! It looks like those are in beta/not very widely used though. And my impression is that I'd probably have to understand k8s/nomad pretty well to use them; really I'd like something with an experience closer to Heroku where that layer is as abstracted as possible.

Let me know what you think if you ever try :) I sometimes wish we were more often mentioned here (thanks btw :) ). I guess that we are missing some features that the audience here requires (for example being open source?).
In this case the error message contains information about the compiler's template instantiation stack which is rather analogous to the stack trace of a recursive function. But yeah, a somewhat nonstandard usage.
Satoshi owns $54 billion worth of Bitcoin at this point.
I would say that 'stacktrace' is appropriate.

The template expansion machinery is pretty much a purely functional language and the compiler is the interpreter. The stacktrace in this case is not of the interpreter itself but of the program being executed.

In fact understanding that template error messages are none other than execution stack traces is key to making sense them.
> Because there's no real value behind Bitcoin

You post was very interesting (what happens to Bitcoin when it becomes so big it's capable of tilting G7 type economies) up to the argument above, which is:

a) wrong because Bitcoin does have some actual utility
b) wrong because "value" is only something that carries any kind of meaning in a supply and demand framework
c) parroting an argument that has been trumpeted on HN almost as much as "oooh, bad for the environment" and has also been thoroughly debunked.
Yeah but what are we actually seeing? An atom is made of protons, neutrons, and electrons, and 99.9% empty space. But you can't really look at an image of an atom and say "there's a proton there" so what is the image of exactly? Rinse and repeat with quarks.

> D, which uses GC here and there and a lot of non-GC pointers and allocations

Won't this depend on the programming style used? If the programmer makes heavy use of functional programming, or for that matter Java-style programming, wouldn't that result in a lot of object churn through the GC?
Meta observation. There was another post on HN about a self-autobiographical career summary. The comments for that one (I Really Blew It, Chris Crawford, founder of GDC) are quite different compared to these ones. Both people have wikipedia pages, but their personalities are quite different.

> No one mails paper dollar bills around.

Right, and that somehow didn't stop USD credit cards from existing.

But for BTC it's either the base chain is better for every single use case or it's a giant waste of time.

> USD isn't literally built on top of paper money.

Right, there's also virtual USD and then there's all the USD above M1 that doesn't even exist as physical dollars or Fed reserves but is just willed into existence via debt.

> Cryptocurrency, however, is literally invented out of thin air by programmers.

As opposed to being invented out of thin air by bankers. At least BTC is publicly auditable and verifiable.

> New cryptocurrencies are released every week. Even Bitcoin gets forked at times.

So what? You can start making PragmaticPulpDollars, how is that a problem for USD?
I'm an engineer in the US and this is my personal viewpoint as well. I tested this attitude the last time I was interviewing and picked a company that values engineers by choosing to stay small rather than fill the ranks with middle managers. My CEO wouldn't have a product without me or someone else filling this role, so while his value to the company is capped at fundraising, mine is only capped by my own abilities.
C++ doesn't have a stable ABI, so C++ interop is usually done by wrapping a C++ library with a C interface first. This is true for most compiled languages afaik.

GUI libraries often rely on specific language features so they are hard to wrap in other languages. That's why good GUI libraries don't exist in ANY language other than the ones they were written in.
This is a very good explanation of a major source of confusion.

Indeed "employer's taxes" really does NOT belong to the employer, it is very much a part of the employee's salary.
Some left-wing parties in France are starting to call this out and call it "the socialized portion of the employee's salary", which is a good way to put it. A major issue is that this often does not even appear on pay slip, it is an invisible tax that employees do not see (the best kind of tax is you are the one levying it...). This robs people blind, they don't even realize what the things those taxes finance (social security, healthcare, retirement) really cost... if they knew, they would overthrow the government over this..

Same thing here, I made a good profit a while back. To believe that I would be a millionaire today requires ignoring everything I know about my risk tolerance and while Bitcoin worked, it could've gone the Ponzi scheme way and crash to 0$ overnight. There were risks of Chinese miners going for a 51% attack, regulation in the US to downright outlawing mining in Canada.
>Which models

Stock-to-flow is based on assumptions, but they're not unreasonable.

The predictive power hasn't been half-bad either.
Haha, yes. In 2011, a guy on my team was all about bitcoin and dogecoin and such. I think bitcoin was like 11 cents a coin, or maybe a dollar by that point. I just plain didn't get it. Still barely do. I could have easily picked up a few hundred dollars of coin or, if I was a believer, a grand or two. Had I held onto it, I would be worth hundreds of millions of dollars. However, if I got in at 10 cents, I would have sold at a dollar. And if I didn't sell there, I would have sold at 10 dollars, 100, 1000, etc. I would never, ever have ridden it to 10k, 20k, 30k. Still not putting money on it.
The medical analogy is useful. Tons of disease cause headache, or joint pain, or fever, or rashes, or stomach pain, or runny nose, or cough.

Some combinations of symptoms help diagnosing a specific disease. It's not the parts taken in isolation, it's the sum of it, and how it evolves over time. Some symptoms that worsen suddenly should be taken seriously.

> And again, I have a deep problem with the idea that only “pure” religious beliefs are somehow less likely to lead to fascism.

And you should be deeply suspicious of anything linking religious purity with anything. But he does not say that it leads to fascism, just that fascism feeds on it. Also, I think in this specific instance he lets his own religion cloud his argument, and that he should have said "ideologies" instead of religious beliefs. People do not need religion to be terrible to other people.

Perhaps sometimes - but written song lyrics don't lose their copyright when sung.
What about the 51% attack problem? Why doesn’t this matter? Can someone explain how this currency is a good bet when there is this seemly huge gaping hole in the system. Honest question!
What is the strawman? Using statistics in this way is meaningless. Hell, I'd bet by area the capitol hill riots were mostly peaceful. The capitol complex is a large place and I'm certain 51% could be defined as peaceful under a similar definition that burning neighborhoods were this summer.
It is not arguing in bad faith to say that no, the sun does not revolve around the earth and just because people repeat that a lot does not make it true.

If you can name one single useful copyrighted work that is not composed of >90% "infringement" I'll apologize and shut up.

Creators are not the creators they think they are. Everyone stands on the shoulders of giants, more so than they admit, even people who repeat that phrase.

Creators should work for their income like the rest of us, and not depend on restricting the freedoms of others so that they can be more comfortable.

The public domain is the only domain there should be. We abolished royalty in the USA but somehow we let the scourge of royalties remain. If you don't want people to share your ideas, fine, keep them to yourself. We don't need the help of any copyright leeches. We'll do just fine without those "contributions".

Yup, I totally get it. I had to tinker with power cables (the EVGA RTX 3090 required 3 x 8 pin power connectors). Also, cooling - I couldn’t get my hands on a blower-style RTX card, so the GPU just dumps its heat inside the chassis.

I also bought cheap “eBay memory” instead of the more expensive Lenovo offering and had to reseat DIMMs a few times to stop having ECC errors (the memory scrubbing feature is nice).
