Primarily cutting off gaming –the only gaming I have left are the occasional chess games on the week-end – I haven't got much opportunity to work outside comfortably yet with lockdown. It changed my relationship to computers: sitting at my desk is now about work, and I do much more things outside of it.

May that is how the economy in star trek universe came about.
One of the typical ways this manifests itself in reality is a dedicated local mapper adding or correcting a detail where they know that some common data sources are either wrong or out of date. At some point later a corporate mapper the other side of the planet working from imagery will come along and change it back to agree with the imagery they have, despite it being 4 years old. Local mappers get exhausted from the effort it takes to keep their patch from being broken and disenfranchised with their edits being drowned out by the noise of the corporate machine.

A devils advocate answer of course, I'm personally on the fence on the issue.
It's a simpler experience to just dl the app and install it when it's bundled and less chance of something odd breaking your app for your users. Unbundled you wind up with either a Java situation where you have to get your users to install a particular runtime because you built with a particular one or a MS runtime where every app comes bundled with it's own copy to make sure you have the right one so there's not that big of a savings.
Okay, but if you’re allowed to submit ‘well structured modular componentized librarified monolith’ as an example proving how monoliths aren’t all bad, I’m not going to let you insist on holding up ‘cargo cult grpc mess’ as proof that microservices are terrible. Let’s compare the best both structures have to offer, or consider the worst both enable - but not just compare caricatures.
Sorry, I just copy pasted from another post of mine where we were talking about MSP.

MSP means minimum support price. Its a guarantee from the government to the farmers that the government will buy the crop at a certain minimum price no matter the market situation is. For example, MSP for 1 kg rice may be rupees 20. If the farmers can get a higher price in the market, they can sell it at that price. But if the market price fell for some reason (over production for example), government will buy it from the farmers for rupees 20. This guarantees that the farmers will not be at a lose.

MSP made sense when India had issues with rice and wheat (the video I linked talks about its origins in India at 5:00). Since MSP is guaranteed for some crops (such as rice and wheat) and not for others (such as pulses which India has to import), farmers would naturally make more of the MSP grains.

Also, do note that the farm bills doesn't remove MSP as far as I understand. One scenario farmers argue is this: Farmers get MSP when they sell in government run markets. Now, with the new system, farmers will get more money since they would be selling directly to the companies without any middlemen. If I understood correctly, the new system removes middle men (whom I have heard makes huge profit while paying very less to the farmers). Once the farmers starts selling directly since direct sale gets them more money, no one would go to the government markets any more. So, after a couple of years, government will close those markets since they are not in use. Now, corporations will start offering lower prices to farmers, and farmers will have no place to go. This is one argument I have heard of what could go wrong. But seeing all these protests, I have been thinking why can't farmers dictate the price if they have this much bargaining power.

Some viruses mutate more quickly/easily than others, and are thus much harder to eliminate than others.
The first question to ask is what is money? Money is just an efficient means of transferring value between strangers and storing value over time (second point could be debated, since the value of fiat currencies have almost always degraded over time due to inflation).

Why do we give USD value? Because most the population trusts the US government to keep the value of USD stable and we know it is widely used and accepted.

What has happened recently? Most fiat currency supplies have ballooned tremendously. This has undermined the collective view of the storing value over time argument. Bitcoin adoption has increased, which means more and more people recognize it as money and that it has value. Also since the supply is capped, it becomes more apparent that it will be a better store of value than USD.

If you have excess USD, why would you not want at least some exposure to bitcoin over USD?

Why would I need an appraisal of a painting I bought at an old fashioned auction? Doesn't everyone know its market price at that moment?

So compared to owning a physical painting, an advantage here is I can do fancy financial maneuvers with it more easily? And a disadvantage is that I don't actually get to own a painting.

What happens when there's a competing blockchain that also claims to represent digital ownership of this artwork? A physical painting is either in your possession or it isn't, but "owning" Nyan Cat is only valuable so long as people want Nyan Cat AND agree that the chain it's on is a valuable way to represent ownership.

I can understand Brave not putting as much effort into privacy as Tor Browser (especially fingerprinting mitigations). Fingerprinting is difficult to prevent, even using Tor Browser I apparently have a unique fingerprint.

But directly leaking the IP address (e.g. via DNS or WebRTP) is totally unacceptable.

Ask the Expert: Rust at Microsoft
False claims of authorship (essentially plagiarism) are not entirely outside of the domain of copyright.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attribution_(copyright)

For instance, let's look at the BSD license. It requires copyright notices in source code to be preserved. That means that it reserves the attribution right.

The original license required them in executable code; the two-clause version relaxes it; it doesn't demand any expression of attribution in the compiled code.

However, it does not appear to fully waive the attribution right; it requires the copyright notices and license clauses to remain in the source code. The compiled code is still the original author's copyright; nothing in the license says that it isn't.

If someone claims they developed it, it's infringement on the attribution copyright, even though they have the license-granted right to redistribute the code without making such deceptive claims.

IANAL, but if you're going to plagiarize, I suspect the safest bet is to pick something that has lapsed into the public domain, not something with copyrights and licenses in it.

It will, but browser diversity is not what you want for an electron-style app. The whole point of Electron is that it's a browser you control--you set the site permissions, you control the version and updates, you know exactly what it supports.

Quite a stale joke. I can't remember the last time Windows crashed. Windows is probably more stable than Linux at this point, at least from a kernel panic point of view. They do a load of static analysis of drivers and can even reload GPU drivers if they crash without taking down the whole system. That's decades ahead of Linux.
If you're going to use a key space in the trillions, and partitioned and sparsely populated rather than sequential... isn't that just reinventing what the UUID already is?

A UUID is just a 128-bit integer, with creation algorithms designed to partition that space by things that already have enough entropy to need no further synchronization.

What you're proposing sounds like roll-your-own-UUID, which might be similarly inadvisable as roll-your-own-crypto.

You should look into modern c++ - at least C++11. While it is possible to write the code with all the problems you state, C++11 adds some neat features that mean in practice you rarely do. Sure I can put something on the heap and forget to free it - but in practice I don't put anything on the heap without first wrapping it in something on the stack so that when the thing on the stack goes away my thing on the heap does too. This can get really complex fast to deal with edge cases, but most of the time the complexity is hidden and so doing the right thing that always works is just as easy as putting something on the heap that I have to remember to free latter.

Most people use address sanitizer not valgrind for the few times they have a memory leak. In general though the problem is solved not by tools but by using the modern C++ features. Valgrind is really only useful when you need to deal with C interfaces. (note interfaces, the code on either side need not be written C)

This is a phenomenal range of samples with a dazzling array of patterns, and all the colors are still brilliant (there's no obvious fade that I could notice).

Clearly, the sample book has been kept in ideal conditions and it would be interesting to know what they were.

Also, it would be interesting to know what types of dyes were used. Many organic and inorganic dyes from that period are brilliant because they often incorporated heavy metals that by today's standards would be classed as toxic and thus unusable nowadays (such dyes are often much more stable than their present day counterparts). These heavy metal dyes often had dazzling colors, for instance Scheele's Green aka copper arsenite.

Here, the article isn't very helpful, in fact it's not helpful at all. It would be interesting to pass an X-ray fluorescent (XRF) analyzer over the samples to see if heavy metals were actually present in any of them (from looking at some of the colors I'd reckon so).

BTW, the same heavy metal dyes and (sometimes pigments) are often found in books of the period (≈early 1800s to WWI). The frontispieces and plates in good quality books from then when viewed even now still dazzle one—and they they've not faded (noticeably anyway) because they use these brilliant, stable but toxic dyes.

Have I been mislead? If it is possible to carry out election rigging conspiracies in the US, then how can we be so confident that no such conspiracies were carried out by people that viciously hate the former president? Surely if it is possible for conspirators to get away with it in other countries, and there is no magical means of preventing it here, then it's possible for them to get away with it here as well. They have courts and investigations and evidence in other countries as well, and that has seemingly not prevented election rigging there.
Why Your Food Tastes the Way It Tastes: An Interview with a Flavorist
That's fine for someone who already keeps current with front-end stuff, but someone who is a desktop app developer is more likely to just go native than try to make a desktop app that tracks 3+ browser engines of wildly varying versions (luckily 7 is out of support now, but it still might be desired to support for some desktop apps in which case now you have IE to deal with). Electron gives the promise of total code re-use across platforms which is what makes web technologies more suitable for desktop apps.
Here are 11 examples of when this very thing happened, one of which is of course Trump's tax returns: https://thefederalist.com/2020/10/15/11-hacks-leaks-and-hoax...
> There was also another problem: I did not have any DAI. I had ETH, and I could have sold my ETH to get DAI, but I did not want to sacrifice my ETH exposure; it would have been a shame if I earned $50,000 betting against Trump but simultaneously lost $500,000 missing out on ETH price changes.

Doesn't this fact pervert the underlying market? Now there are two components at play: the actual underlying odds of the election result, and the price fluctuation inherent in DAI/ETH.

Another way to frame this bet is as a high interest loan with some probability of not needing to be paid back. They are borrowing $0.85 worth of DAI/ETH now and may need to repay it in the future.

That being said, I could be misunderstanding how this all is working. The system seems complicated.

You only need to do multicloud if your customers are in multiple clouds and you deliver into their cloud. Even so, you will be primarily in one cloud and have minimal setups / test processes in others. Otherwise just do one, with the exception that you may need a very specific product from one of the non-primary clouds.

Security, auth, costs will all be important.

Having a unified schema will be difficult, or likely impossible once you need to be detailed about something.

Anyone considering multicloud needs to think long and hard about why they are considering it, exception the first case.
On the contrary, as the sales speech at conferences is that the mess only happens with monoliths and the only possible salvation is to rewrite the world as microservices.

> why can't farmers dictate the price if they have this much bargaining power.

They have political bargaining power, but don't have much bargaining power in the market. This is because most crops are perishable goods. Even with crops like rice (which can be stored by the farmers for an extended period), farmers can't afford to hold on to the goods for long... they need cash to survive.
That is a single Wine staging developer, however., not “wine developers”.

In a previous company we had to do FF and Chrome. Not IE though, which was a big time saver. QA ran all their test cases on the latest stable of both FF and Chrome, and features would not be deployed to prod if they didn't work on both browsers.
