Well you guys did a nice job in changing my position! But if you are saying I should not change my position based on discussion that goes no here then I have no idea what to say to you. The whole point of discussion is to point out flawed thinking of others.

Are we expecting people not to change their position and make them feel guilty if they did? No wonder communities are more polarized than ever.

Edit: Besides if you read my original comment it already says

>We should be discussing about how to efficiently harness that big fiery ball in space instead of shutting down technological advancements.
There's no lever there. In a bitcoin economy there's no chance your contract gives you a fixed salary in the first place, it would be tied to some measure of inflation.

Like I said, most of the rest is just a rehash of gold standard stuff.

Although curling is an Olympic event, it was introduced in 1924 and then resumed in 1988. It seems like a skill-oriented (rather than physical) sport. I wonder what it will take to get e-Sports into the Olympics.

"A sport or discipline is included in the Olympic program if the IOC determines it to be widely practiced around the world, that is, the popularity of a given sport or discipline is indicated by the number of countries that compete in it."

This is not quite correct. Go understands `-u=patch` vs. `-u` to refer to patch vs. minor version. It also forces you to use a different path for each major version, by parsing the major version (and conversely also ignores version tags less than the path version so you can't get a "v2" path with "v1.1.3"). So it simultaneously understands semver in the "porcelain" tools, but version resolution per se is really only bounded on the low side because any upgrade preserving the path should be safe.
Depends on which languages you work with. Many language servers are written in their own languages so it is possible to work with a lot of native code when using VS Code day to day even if most of VS Code itself isn't native code.

VS Code also used to have far more native code earlier on in its development life, but seems to be transitioning a lot of it to WASM (paralleling the Node ecosystem as a whole moving a lot of performance heavy stuff from native NAPI plugins to WASM boxes; as one example: the major source maps support library moved from JS native to Rust to WASM compiled from Rust, IIRC).
a homepage that can lie dormant for millennia in the sands of our ruined planet and can activate, when a strange kind of sentience discovers it and exposes its sensors again to the warmth of reddish sunlight of our dying star. Its crystal memory unit starts to reflow, emitting weak signals in an undecipherable language long forgotten ...
Alex Birsan’s attack was much more involved and raised issues less recognised by a vast number of communities members. This one is basically typosquatting, a well known issue that Birsan’s manoeuvre did not focus on.
If you have a iPhone without home button, go to settings, wallet & apple pay and uncheck doouble click side button

Now turn off the screen with the power button.

Notice the annoying delay when turning off the screen is gone? enjoy :-)

Of course you also don't have a way to invoke the wallet manually, but luckily if you put it near a payment terminal it will auto activate

Probably won't work if you're a heavy apple wallet user but if you use it only sporadically I personally think it's worth it, I found the delay very annoying when I switched to a homekeyless iphone

He talks about about how privacy laws like those around contact lists are bad because make it harder for new social media companies to arise. Seems like a bad trade off for everyone but investors and for future users of The Crystal Network that I keep joking I will create: a network where you are rewarded with healing crystals in the mail for soothing one another on the platform, creating a veritable lattice of support
I always enjoy conversations with cryptocurrency cognoscenti: "Ok. Assume I have some bitcoin (a bitcoin? bitcoins?). How would I exchange it for, say, a carton of milk?"

Don't get me wrong. I'm a math nerd. I think bitcoin is fascinating as a technical achievement, and hope we keep exploring the blockchain idea. However, I also know that bitcoin mania has literally affected global supply chains of computer components and inflicted a measurable exacerbation of global warming. There is a colourable argument about whether bitcoins have value, but it's very clear that bitcoin has a non-trivial cost.
"New Tech Is Just Recycled Old Tech"

Without quoting the entire paragraph, I'm not sure "C" has ever been the mainstream choice. At nearly every point in the history of C, there has been a "better" or more popular language. Be that jcl, cobol, fortran, visual basic, java, python, php, C#, etc.

C/C++ are systems programming languages, they are the underlying technology supporting all the business and application development. Even when I did less pure system programming, our applications were frequently split into a lower level/server/etc portion and the higher level user facing code. The former was written in a high perf compiled language, the user facing code was generally written in a higher level language.

And that is still true today, it takes very little google foo, to find project after project which decided they needed higher perf/more efficiency and rewrote the core data handling in C. Even in cases where C/C++ weren't the obvious choices (https://github.com/sass/libsass).

And yes, sometimes one ends up picking a chain of subpar languages and rotating them du-jour. But in that direction you get trapped on both some language everyone hates (facebook/php anyone? although to be fair facebook has made php one of the better choices these days) So much so, that if I were to start another mobile application, I would probably use one of the C++ based toolkits. Because those are the only choices that provide good cross platform UI's that are performant. For everything else I would probably just write a web application with decent local storage caching/etc.

So, its probably an unpopular opinion, but as a senior developer, I think the ability to make unpopular choices, particularly when it comes to language and toolkits is one of my strongest attributes. Rarely will you find me picking something like react-native (or electron) for mobile apps because i've yet to see a case were the benefits actually outweighed the negatives. Similarly for native toolkits tied to a particular platform because i've yet to work anywhere that could legitimately afford to double (or worse) their engineering efforts by writing the same application multiple times.
Worked on a project with an old (12+ years?) - but still being developed/used - Java system. Just last year a move was made up to Java 11 (from 8). Decent test coverage, but moving multiple systems is still a big task, but... they did it. Java 11. Yay.

But... teammates were running in to issues with 'new' stuff - like, using 'var'. There were others, but this was sort of the archetypal argument. "Well, it doesn't match the rest of the style of the file/app - it'll make it hard to read". Well... hrm... any new feature literally doesn't match the style of what came before it, because you have new keywords/features/syntax to handle processes a new way. It's definitional. But just because there's a new feature doesn't mean it'll be adopted (for better or worse, I supposed, depending on your stance).
A person with the job title "senior developer" has, what, 3-5 years of full-time work experience? So instead of being 21 and bushy-tailed, they're 24-26 and only slightly less bushy-tailed.

They're still working through the maladies of youth, like absolute opinions, rabbit-holing, perfectionism, zealotry, and over-identifying with their work. A young person might need 10 years or more to develop a balance of caring and DGAF skills. And some people stay insufferable forever!
Lots of stuff:

https://nodis3.gsfc.nasa.gov/displayDir.cfm?t=NPR&c=8705&s=2...

But even if you design to those standards, doesn't mean you will actually get certified.

And as SpaceX learned, the interpretation of those specification are not easy.

So if you just build something without constantly working with NASA, and have their cooperation, you are unlikely to get certified.

I guess that only very rarely a person made the whole trip along the entire silk road, but knowledge about the foreign lands definitely travelled much earlier.

I've been watching for awhile. The road map said it was going to be out in ~a month, a year or two ago. Excuse my skepticism, but I feel like I've been following the eternally shifting roadmap long enough to warrant it. I like Haskell, I flipped through their Plutus example code, I want to use the product! They should just ship what they have.
The difference is that "apple" is unrelated to the product space, but "teams" is not.
> Always find it interesting that Marco Polo, who 'discovered the east' in popular western culture

No one thinks Marco Polo "discovered the east", but he was one of the first medieval westerners to travel throughout some parts of east and, most importantly, write about it.
I believe the distinction is that if you or I are accused of sour-graping Bitcoin, we cry crocodile tears on the internet, but if Bitcoin bros aren't taken as serious thought leaders of the future world economy, they stand to lose a lot of money, potentially leveraged.
"Might be nice to have the time ;-)"

It's not about having the time, but -making- the time. For the most part we simply do not prioritize looking into the source code of the libraries we use, to any meaningful degree. (I'm guilty of this for sure). Hence things like leftpad and the many other instances of dependency controversies.

In an ideal world we [and our employers] would put emphasis on inspecting the huge amounts of code we pull in and allocate time for it.
Been an Xfinity customer (Comcast) for multiple years with the cable/internet package. Even though I sign a contract (1 or 2 years), fees go up almost every quarter (between 5 - 10 dollars) and the argument is that these are not the cost of the core service. I have checked and these are not taxes being demanded of them by state or county.

This practice seems to be common in all their markets.

What are the options here? Switch to another provider? Government should look into this? What?
Why? What would loosening IP do in this regard?
Have you read PG's essay on Lisp? (Clojure is a dialog of Lisp) http://www.paulgraham.com/avg.html

Feel that initially when you load this page, it looks crowded. Which for visualization sake makes sense, but it definitely doesn’t do space justice. It’s just so vast, and there’s so much more space that all these satellites would practically be invisible.

I find it funny that their goal is to make the game technically harder to make it a better game in general - by reducing the points you get - incentivizing you to explore the other levels mores. Instead of your typical game hacks that make it easier or add cool things. Even though I get this is just a tutorial.
How would someone know this when visiting them for an occasional purchase? You might easily assume that the lower rated items rapidly stop being carried, that the items that are carried are curated to have a real bias towards higher ratings, or merely that the lower rated items are on a different page of results.

Which isn't to say I trust Best Buy's customer reviews, I definitely don't. I probably trust Amazon's more simply by sheer quantity combined with fakespot.com to sanity check the reviews.

But I don't think a website having weird average scores is very suspicious, especially when they have small numbers of reviews. If many items are totally unreviewed and others have only a few dozen reviews, the results are essentially noise right? That's why I would trust Best Buy reviews less.
This is amazing, the thing that scares me the most about Roam is that I wouldn't be able to export data. Also like Notion it gets extremely slow very quickly.

Hope that this local first solution will make you avoid the performance problems those apps have

Horses literally put shit on the streets. Imagine replacing each car with a horse and think about the amount of poop.

Horses are also dangerous. A friend of mine lost almost all of their teeth because their horse kicked them in the face when they cleaned its hooves.

I recently canceled my Amazon prime subscription after having it for almost a decade. The final straw was Amazon removing the ability to comment on reviews. First, they remove the ability to see the comments using the mobile site, then they remove them all together saying that not as many people were utilizing it. Unfortunately, those comments were a good litmus test to the authenticity of a review - positive or negative - and gave insight to the responsiveness of the seller. Some comments on reviews even had instructions on how to solve the reviewer's problem from experts in the field, it’s all lost now.
From personal messing around in the past, ||/&& generally don't seem as performant as using plain statements, by a fair margin (I'm guessing its causing subshells to be spawned for whatever reason, but I didn't bother digging further)

Spain Is the EU's Biggest Threat, Not Russia
I have been using vimwiki for around a year now, using pandoc to convert into html with a simple custom template, stork-search to search the files and syncing the collection weekly over to my other computer, phone.

I love this setup as there is no internet needed, full text search on all the documents and very less friction while starting to write something. I have tried other apps like obsidian, roam etc but keep coming back to this one due to its simplicity.
Everything is indeed a game, but not all games are zero-sum.

I feel like when people criticize games, they are often implicitly referring to the latter kind, and in that sense, it‘s often constructive criticism.
The traditional format of Bash's if/then has `if` and `then` on separate lines:

if command_or_condition
then
branch
fi

I suppose that to many, this looks wasteful and consequently ugly, so one looks for alternatives.

I always inline the `then`, which requires a semicolon:

if command_or_condition; then
branch
fi

If I was forced to use the traditional format, I'd be definitely annoyed :)

The goal of rent control - or more accurately rent stabilization - should be to smooth out fluctuations in rent over time, not to create a class of housing stuck below market in perpetuity. Most of what people object to about rent control isn't the attempt to stop families form suffering wild rent increases that can destabilize entire neighborhoods/workforces, but rather to smooth out those increases to give families a proper chance to adapt or move.
As a high school CS student, I'm sure some students will feel the pressure to code and fear of embarrassment, especially if the whole class is set to see progress. Perhaps an option to anonymize the names to the other students if it is a group project?

We use repl.it for students without access to BlueJ and it works great. In fact, I will be messaging this to my AP CSA teacher with this because this looks absolutely game-changing.
For most other topics, I'd probably agree. In the case of crypto currencies it's important to point out that you'd rather hear compelling counterarguments rather than the all too frequent "You're right but I wish you weren't" downvotes.
LOL, no government is going to ban them in 9 years. OK, maybe Monaco or something.

First, fuel transitions take on the order of 50-60 years. Nothing happens in 9 years. The first successful diesel locomotive engine was sold in the 1920s, they reached 50% market share in the 1950s, and the last major steam powered train engine was retired in the 1970s. And that's with massive cost savings of diesel over steam and a capital good that was allocated rationally, as it wasn't a consumer good sold to hundreds of millions of people.

This isn't like software, where everyone leaves myspace in a few years and poof it's gone. People are in for a rude awakening when they face market realities of long term durable goods, especially engines that customers expect to last 20 years.

Or is this like the promises to reduce CO2? Have they ever kept a single one of those promises? Promising to do something, especially something unrealistic and to which your administration can't be held accountable, is not a meaningful promise, but a publicity stunt, made so easy by the fact that electorates today can only view the world in short time windows, thus the short memory and attention span which makes them easy to lie to, but also the impatience which requires a constant stream of unrealistic promises be made to them. You also see this in doomsday predictions, which are repeated ad nauseam - disaster X will happen in 10 years -- and due to the same short attention span no one seems to care that the same predictions were made forty, thirty, twenty, and ten years ago. It is always Year Zero for those living in the eternal now. And each time they are believed and met with promises as fake as the predictions, similar ineffectual promises being made 20 years ago, 10 years ago, and today.

Those who manage to live outside this bubble of inattentive forgetfulness realize that things happen slowly, they happen in response to market pressure, and governments have only limited influence on these pressures.

I think we're talking at cross purposes, and I don't want to belabour the point too much, but there's no need to modify the original SQL query (I'm imagining this pulls data from a database). If the data is already in a dataframe, use one of the libraries which can apply SQL to in-memory dataframes.

e.g.

active_users_with_friends <- duckdf("SELECT * FROM active_users WHERE friend_count >= 5")
I haven't yet! I'm sure some Roam DB's are over 10k documents. If Datascript-based applications can get past the initial load time with better client-side caching, performance will always be better.

Nigeria receives nearly 4M Covid-19 vaccines from COVAX
I don't think the parent comment meant it as some bad evil thing. More like just a factual curiosity, sort of as "huh, damn, pretty interesting how they have managed to do it."

On a personal level, I think the Apple case is a bit different. There is no other technical product that is named Apple, and neither it is inherently the word used to describe what a product or a company does. While Teams definitely falls under the "similar enough" umbrella of words related to the function of the product.

Not that it makes any difference, and, in fact, I think it was pretty clever of MSFT to manage to make that product name work, since I was pretty skeptical of how well it was gonna work at first.
Transfer funds across borders without dealing with multi-business-day bank delays or capital controls in countries like China. Accept donations or other online transactions without relying on Visa/Mastercard.
I'm not disagreeing with you. It's just that today's mindset makes it impossible for people to pay for GUI toolkits alone, I think.
JS the language isn't great but it's JS the culture that is the real problem.

There is a subset of JS codebases that are good, well engineered and written by people that understand the languages faults and limitations but the list is incredibly small and even smaller still now Joyent isn't really around anymore.

If there was one ecosystem I wish I never needed to touch again it would be JS but unfortunately it's become so pervasive that isn't really a tenable position anymore.
Odd, that was what I was told by our Ada teacher, and the book has all caps.
I agree that cars are a horrible solution to the problem of transporting people and goods.

It's only by virtue of history and our willingness to accept massive loss of life and limb every year that cars, driven at 100 kph by sleepy, angry, elderly or distracted people, are still a thing.

Not to mention the massive loss of life and limb from climate change spurred by cars.

You're making a solid point.
Unclear on how claimed price controls would ensure equitable distribution of bread. Why is the price of bread being capped making it so that more people get bread? If I’m rich and the price of bread is artificially low, maybe I’ll just buy up even more bread and now fewer people get bread.
