"Fair enough. I guess it feels almost unbelievable that all this fuss is over something so mundane."

It's because Bitcoiners chants to rally a number of different causes, that pro-Bitcoiners claim through their propaganda will claim it's the solution for A, B, C ... X, Y, Z - from local to global issues - so the group grows by bringing in people who want to solve those issues and believe the claims to be true - who are aligned by what - money, a financial incentive of Bitcoin being structured as an MLM - and arguably has a Ponzi scheme structure as well. Then you have it being global and decentralized, then you get marketing forums online taking it on to be at the base of the MLM, then you get the VC-financial industrial complex aligned with it + amplified by mainstream media.

The Republican party many decades ago was taken over by industrial complexes/corporations - and because corporations couldn't vote - they rallied with narratives/messaging to attract different smaller interest groups to become aligned; Noam Chomsky explains this here: https://boingboing.net/2019/04/20/useful-idiots-r-us.html
The way I see it is that one should master their stack. If you work over and over again with the same stack you will know it well. You will be able to move mountains with it. But it takes years to arrive to that. It takes implementing multiple projects the same way over and over again.

You need the wherewithal to stick with your stack and not get lured away. Maybe this is what boring means. Maybe boring is different to different engineers based on their background.

Sometimes you cannot select the stack cause there might be more senior engineers at a company and they have more sway. This is fine as long as the engineers picking the stack have picked a stack they have mastered and it is boring to them. As a regular engineer in their team I would hope to rely on their expertise and would hope to learn from them.

I remember at one job a rogue engineer picked a boring backend that would have been fine. But they fell behind because the other engineers knew their boring stack a lot better. Ultimately the rogue engineer had to switch to the other boring stack. The rogue engineer just was not fast enough to master it and implement the features required to keep pace with the demands of management. These demands were trace centralized logging, security, and of course features. So while they were still learning the ropes, we were moving on to even more advanced security, logging, and feature requirements. They just couldn't keep up.

I totally agree with you, I've been writing professionally php and python, vanilla js/react and postgresql for a good decade now and I'm still learning exciting new things in these technology.

(Note on the side I've made weekend projects in Rust, tested Cassandra, Kafka)

I think one should have a toolbox with proven tools that should be default tools, while keeping an hygiene of testing new tools so that when the day arise that either the "new tool" survive the test of time, or you encounter a problematic that is really solvable only with that new tech, you can make an exception.
That's a good idea. I should start doing that.

I agree completely. Another angle that is less common is remaining at one company you believe and respects your work. If you find somewhere like that, years of working in the same domain can make you more effective. Not to speak of the advantages of a team that works together for 5+ years and the power that comes from true camradarie with your team mates.

It's sad that most places - and by definition the largest places also - end up being a meat grinder and people just hop companies and teams within companies every year or two. By the time you start understanding the domain you move on. It takes years to internalize a problem and understand it deeply.

I see how that can become a problem but I think the pros outweigh the cons. Maybe the problem is because of a "very large" codebase, my general hot take is that dynamic languages like Perl and Python should be used primarily for scripts. The lack of static typing makes dealing with very large codebases rather painful in any case, in my experience.

Null propagation is nice too, but it doesn't address all the uses cases of autovivification when you have, say, a hash table of arrays and you want to insert a new entry in an array, creating it if it doesn't exist. In python you have to use setdefault which I always found clunky.
It wasn't, I read a lot, I just think it's really stupid and suboptimal to limit your learning and information consumption strategy to either fully reading (or skimming) long texts or ignoring them.

I mean, why not spend <1 minute reading a TL;DR when it can sometimes give you most of the value and if not, provide you with information whether it's worth reading the whole thing. It seems like a good deal, why avoid it?

I'd rather spend my time reading stuff thay has a higher expected value (e.g. a book about macroeconomics with great reviews if I'm interested in that topic) rather than random long texts on HN that can turn out to be complete garbage.

Dissatisfaction With Screenshots Drove Me to Create Screenstab
The ETH2 'beacon chain' is a meta-chain that's supposed to checkpoint a bunch of 'sub chains' for scalability. But they have launched it with many big questions unanswered.

What does a 'sub chain' actually look like to interact with? How do you coordinate with many of them? All these questions have answers in theory, but not answers in solid production ready interoperable code.

Furthermore some of these problems like 'how do you store a bunch of sub-chains' are questions not even properly answered in ETH1 nodes for the much simpler one chain case.

By launching the beacon chain early the organizations developing ETH2 can validate and make money while all these questions are figured out. This is where the money goes instead of the improvement of ETH1 since that's a tragedy of the commons as this point.

ETH2 is only worth money if these questions are figured out and ETH1 is somehow brought under the beacon chain's governance. Exactly how this is to happen... well I haven't even seen anything credible on this. Greenfield addition of chains under the ETH2 beacon chain is generously described as 'incomplete' moving ETH1 under ETH2 is much more challenging and I have not seen a plan with any level of detail.

Given that everyone is making bridges to ETH1 now and typical development timelines. I would give a medium to high chance that ETH2 will miss it's window by a couple of years and activity will move to other faster chains that are available now and capable of siphoning off traffic from Ethereum using bridges until they reach their own critical mass.

If I had to put money on it I would place 'proof of stake Ethereum' (defined as ETH1 under the POS beacon chain) more than 2 years out.

I could see the sub-chains (greenfield) working by EOY, although I wouldn't grant it a high probability.

Also if I had to put money on it I will bet on a halt of the Ethereum 1 chain for a time greater than 24 hours within that period, due to lack of maintenance on ETH1 nodes and increased stress from DeFi activity.

-----

ETH2 is kinda like 5G, yes there is a very real 5G network protocol, but in terms of pubic messaging, everything is 5G and communicating anything about how it works or when it will be available is filled with pitfalls and nuances that are difficult for the highly technical, much less the general public, to understand.

> What is this idea that “engineers need to be kept happy?”

Are you honestly asking why people who happen to have a profession need to be happy?

And what's this idea that happiness is something that is only desirable in children? Do you honestly believe everyone should be cursed to die inside once they enter adulthood?

A healthy society is a society where happiness is not an abnormality, but the norm.

You cannot be sure that you kept 100% of the semantics when you use c2rust. You need to focus on semantics plus the types. With checked c, you can just keep your focus on the types.
We can only speculate.

There are different factions in the military, one of which was the architect of Burma’s democratic transition, the other which opposes the transition (who current dictator/CIC is part of).

The military miscalculated, as they didn’t intend for ASSK or NLD to outsmart them in constitution of their own design. Military had expected to win enough seats with their proxy party + military appointed seats to prevent NLD choosing a president. But NLD won enough seats to choose president, and their chosen president gets to appoint commander-in -chief (military must confirm). Never before had a president appointed the CIC. The military saw this has a threat to their power. They do not want to be under any civilian control. And Min Aung Hlaing (current dictator) is also probably afraid of genocide charges if he is no longer in power.
Turns out I also hang out here sometimes ;-)

I was about to reply point by point with arguments, but I changed my mind:

I don't think I'd be interested in that conversation, the comment above is worse than a public display of a very poor understanding of Git and Pijul: it also shows a complete ignorance of other actors in the market. It turns out the market leader for big repositories, Perforce, is itself based on RCS, possibly (but I don't know for sure, since Perforce is proprietary) because RCS scales much better to large binary assets than other solutions (I'd argue Pijul solves that, but that's beside my point).

I am a big fan of Git, Mercurial and Darcs myself, my co-author on Pijul was actually a maintainer of Darcs for many years, and I'm actively collaborating with the maintainers of Mercurial at the moment. And even though Perforce and Plastic are closed-source, they do solve one problem (scalability) which distributed systems are only beginning to understand (if there's one thing I think we've achieved with Pijul, it is about getting beyond the "distributed vs. scalable" trade-off).

Here's my take on the comment above: I don't think you can build good systems without understanding how others are made. There are no free lunches, no silver bullets, no geniuses. Only good ideas, bibliography, and hard work.
Eventually ULA could be so far behind in technology that its worth would be scrap value minus workforce disposal (whoever buys them would have to either stomach continued wages or the political impact of mass layoffs). And Boeing/Lockheed Martin can't be entirely unaware of it, negotiations shouldn't be that hard.

Infusing the existing org with a state of the art rocket/rocket development process has many failure modes (the new becoming "infected" with the stagnant mindset), but it could also work quite well, pairing the "cowboys" who know how to land a rocket stage with skilled "regulation jockeys".

But BO has a much better chance of succeeding without ULA than ULA has without BO and in this situation entering in an alliance of equals would just be silly. The icing on the cake is that the failure mode (stagnancy infection) would also be far more likely in arm alliance of equals.

Interesting. Can you elaborate? Like is DuckDuckGo using some of Yandex’s open source? Or the Bing search API?
As the counter point, I, as a consumer of a GPU for non-mining purposes, appreciates the effort so demand is reduced for a product by a certain market segment - and thus allows the price to not be influenced by the demand of a decentralized, global MLM scheme.

Also, you just don't buy that hardware - so it's not "what you can use your hardware for" - unless they're retroactively updating drivers to prevent the same use of already purchased projects.

I'd argue your concern is an issue only due to patents that may prevent a competitor from coming in and making a competing product if the main producers are engaging in bad behaviours.

Edit to add: I love the downvotes - they're such a strong way to sway someone's thoughts on something, so much effort gets put into clicking a downvote too - it must be serious business!
I don't get this cheating comment. Schools have internal exams sure, but they don't count for much - the ones that count (at high school) are GCSEs, A-Levels, and other external exams.

Teachers can't cheat on these as they don't have the tests until it opens. If the actual exams were happening in the way the author depicts, then

1) There would be a whistleblower

2) The people marking the exams would notice that people were getting the exact same answers (unlike US SATs, UK exams are mainly written answers, very few questions are multiple choice)

Now teachers do have copies of previous years exams, and go over those in class, and use them for mock-exams earlier in the year, isn't that normal? It's not cheating -- exams are an imperfect system, but if you're going to have exams, having test exams and going over what worked and what didn't is valid.

> For people that do commit financial crimes, they are prosecuted and face criminal punishment and often lose their ability to continue to be involved in finance.

Wealthy white-collar criminals often only face minor fines and are able to keep operating. The industry perception of people who get caught (who are known to still be only a small percentage of those who commit them) is almost universally "they were stupid enough to get caught."

I wonder whether this is yet another tendril of the student loan debt bubble and the privatization of a public good (education) contributing to deep, structural rot in American society. Most of the quality academic talent gets picked off into the industry, where there are real opportunity costs for mis-execution, and a much more healthy and liquid market for labor supply and demand. Does that mean that maybe the only plausible end-state for academia is a market for lemons?
I agree. It's a bad move.

Provide a better product for mining .. don't cripple what's out there.

This feels similar to when Nurofen tried to repackage generic drugs for different types of pain. I.e. ultimately a branding exercise.

It occurs at a higher level than that due to neighborhood gentrification and school zoning.

This effect is already seen heavily in suburbs of Australia, where Asian (particularly Chinese) migrants will buy into suburbs with good schools - pushing out poorer families due to increased pricing.

The fundamental problem is that we need to treat poor behaviour in the same way we treat serious autism - with special schools for those students. The problem is that those schools will get filled with minorities, the whole thing will be attacked as 'racist', and we'll be back to square one.
It resonates, but it isn't just another wording of the same advice.

Sound like the later one, defending a genocide for "reconciliation with military" is pure evil, and is never a sound strategy.
