> not in small part because everybody reinvents the wheel instead of fixing the existing solutions.

I'm using all of these reinventions. Wayland, systemd, flatpak, btrfs and soon pipewire. I'm absolutely loving linux right now. Everything works so nice in a way it will never on a distro with legacy tools. Some of these projects like flatpak have a few rough edges but the future is very bright for them and most problems seem very short term rather than architectural.
Yep. I would expect them to either send it off for a logic board replacement or offer you an equivalent model if they have one in stock.
The problem is that both forms are treated identically by law, at least in the United States. You can be charged additionally for profiting from piracy but not profiting or not taking credit and mere distribution does not absolve you of the crime. The stakes are always higher when there's a literal loss of liberty hanging as a sword of Damocles and because the terms of protection tends to be arbitrary and punitive in nature, philosophical nuance gives way to legalistic absolutism in applying absolute consequences to potentially speculative harm. As long as the law exists and can be enforced in a way that makes no distinction between the two, anyone who may be affected by its reach must at least put that interpretation first in doing the cost/benefit analysis before more subjective aspects can even be discussed.
So now the ETH2 folks will have to coordinate with Amazon in getting that managed service migrated to PoS? How do we know that this wont be like ElasticSearch, in that Amazon runs its own custom ETH1 chain for its customers forever?

Another reason to doubt that ETH2 is actually going to be a thing sometime before the heat death of the universe.

> EFF and other pro-reverse engineering organizations should sue and demand that the DOD follow the same laws that citizens follow.

They'd have to have standing for such a suit and they have none. NG and others involved in the design and manufacturing might have standing, but they're also unlikely to sue. This is not a novel activity for DOD.

The only thing that upsets me about Apple's M1 performance is that I don't think it's going to get any better from here in terms of real everyday speed.

The phenomenon of everyone being blown away by the M1's performance is based so much on the fact that developers haven't built a lot of software on it yet.

Engineers all over the world will "figure out" how to take this fast hardware and make it feel slow again.
It all seems too good to be true, memory and ssd upgrades aside, the M1 devices seem to be fantastic value for money. Also waiting for a 16" M1, decided to order a mini in the meantime.
I just tried your app, and like the droppod.gg app and every other flutter app I've tried, there are obvious broken UI things. In the watchlist tab, with one item in the list, I am able to scroll and make the one item hide behind the navbar, and it's happy to stay like that.

These things are big obvious things that make me uninstall an app even if I want/need to use it. Again, I don't know if it's you or flutter that made this thing behave like that. But it makes me think flutter apps are all just one big mess.
Punishing people for having been punished is not "completely fair". It's irrational, vindictive and counter productive.

Ah yes, Kapow! This is like 'OG RPA' (...the technical definition)

Many people forget that RPA is over 20 years old. UiPath basically took very old technology, modernised it, and re-applied it to new markets to become a $35 billion company (as of 2021).

The OG Browser RPA solution is iMacros, incidentally, which is now 20 years old! We aim to also modernise what they tried to do and take it to new markets. I guess time will tell whether we succeed at that re-application, like UiPath did on the desktop.

I don't believe 'plant-based diet' means 'vegetarian'.

Generally plant-based, means whole, unrefined, or minimally refined ingredients.

i.e. french fries, oreos are all vegan but are refined.
A couple notes:
1. The vaccine is not substantially different from natural immunity. The two main distinctions: a) natural immunity is broader and more resilient due to having multiple targets for antibodies as opposed to just the spike protein, and b) the PCR test is sufficiently sensitive to detect people who never got a substantial infection nor were contagious. These people may not develop broad immunity but also were never contagious so I don’t think anyone cares. I’ve never seen support for the hypothesis that some non-immunodeficient person can be symptomatic and contagious and not develop immunity.
2. The immunity is likely to escape the vaccine first due to all vaccines coding for only one protein. The primary (perhaps optimistic) hypothesis on that front was that evading the recognition of the spike protein would force the disease to be less infectious. I’ve not seen any good evidence for this, nor do I necessarily believe we have the capacity to support such a hypothesis.
3. Immunity doesn’t mean no reinfection, it means shortened period during reinfection, usually more mild symptoms, and less transmissibility (which correlates strongly with severity).
4. The current curve reduction is almost certainly a result of high immunity eg high immunity within the populations frequently interacting.
5. Antibodies are not synonymous with immunity. People have immunity from T-cell memory even after mild infection.
6. It’s unclear to me why immunity “stops,” my suspicion is that the largest force in that equation is evolution of the underlying virus to evade immunity, not some ticking time bomb typically characterized by the mainstream community. I’m not sure why this abstract belief of ticking time bomb immunity has become so prevalent.
A little, but I don't even think they're the biggest.

The plasma demo you linked runs at a stuttery 40fps on Firefox (ubuntu 20.10) on a quad core Ryzen 5 laptop. The fans immediately spin to max speed. I'm not impressed...

Here's a hard question, why is this surprising to you? What are you missing in development--is this a gap in testing? Are you hamstrung without support internally to bake this as long as it needs? Rather than double-down on extolling the virtues here, it's time to double-down on fixing the team and the product.
Sure, absolutely relevant as a backward looking measure to offer a potential new employer a baseline--to the degree you want to share it. Certainly, when I last got a new job, I handwaved a bit around "counting bonuses etc." when giving a salary. (Was a private company so no stock.)

On the other hand, the fact that your comp could drop by $100K next year because your company's stock was flat or a bit down is probably at least somewhat relevant.

I am enjoying browsing though the code of this. The way the author abstracts HTML elements has some appeal.

I'm not convinced this has a benefit over React et al. You could even render react 60 times per second and use only plain values not state if you think that will be beneficial. Virtual DOM and the incredible computing power in our devices will make it work.

I have never worked with real immediate mode gui toolkits though, so I may be missing something nice, e.g. about that sequential declaration style? Or that it feels even less taxing to reason about than react?
This argument is so frustrating. It's commonly seen with space projects, like a space hotel. It assumed several things that are usually not true:

* The project is using a non-negligible percentage of all resources available to the problem space

* Everyone agrees on what the problems are

* Everyone agrees on the priority ordering of problems that need to be tackled

* There isn't greater waste or opportunity for resource allocation from other projects first (e.g. video game dev or plastic surgery research)

* it's the responsibility of everyone to always be focused on working on the highest priority problem on some global list of problems.

It's very flawed logic IMO.

>There's no real big theoretical problems in the quantum computer building space

The current quantum computers are just on the edge of what we can simulate classically, so we can't yet rule out the possibility that realizing a quantum computation requires an exponential amount of energy in the number of qubits. (Though it should be noted that quantum mechanics predicts that this will not happen.)

I'm curious, what is your workflow?

I'm asking because I'm assuming your real issues are with your stated reasons, since MacPorts is a "proper package manager" (being ported from one of the BSDs) and if you don't like that one, Brew is certainly popular. And I've never directly benefited from Linux being an "open operating system", since I don't write code that interacts with anything lower-level than the C API, but macOS' Darwin kernel and many of the binaries are open source.

I'm kind of old-school (my intro to Unix was a DECStation), and I find macOS to be plenty Unixy. If I'm not using Xcode I'm using Emacs (in VI mode). I've never said "I wish I had <Linux feature>"; actually, it's been rather nice that my Wifi doesn't break, I don't have to deal with PulseAudio, it goes to sleep--and wakes up!--when I open and close the lid, the UI is unified, networking is easy to use, etc. However, if you run the Linux GUI applications on macOS it's a klunky experience, so you benefit from finding native applications. Also, Docker wasn't very pleasant, but that might have just been Docker; fortunately I've only had to use it for one project.

As someone who loves the macOS + Unix experience, I'm just curious what workflow it doesn't work well with.
Precisely, you're not repeating p(x) q(x)-times, you've used that p(x) is a linear combination of monomials and then the distributive property of Z[x].

Now, you could argue that this is exactly a way to "add repeatedly", but at some point pushing analogies stops being helpful to your students.
I happen to be on a 1.5 Mbps connection at the moment, and "about a second" sounds wonderful. The demo apps I opened took closer to 30-60 seconds to load.

> So over 50% of college-educated adults still have student loan debt.

How much? What's the percentile breakdown? How does it impact their monthly income? What's their economic potential without the degree? Are you suggesting it's higher if most just hadn't gotten a degree? How many choose economically unviable degrees? Who made them do that?

You're simplifying a complex issue—and inferring a problem—without demonstrating the problem. The fact that 50% of college educated adults have student loan debt tells me absolutely nothing of substance.

I don't understand how you can make a judgement in any regard without that information.

> 0.35% of adults file for medical bankruptcy alone every year.

There's no such thing as "medical bankruptcy", so I assume you mean "bankruptcy caused by medical bills". For how many of these people is the medical bill the sole cause? A major cause? One of many causes?

Again, without identifying this in a more granular way, you're asserting some undefined "problem" which means there's no equitable mechanism to rectify that problem.

> Maternal leave is by law unpaid, and few companies offer paid leave and paternal leave is virtually unheard of outside of extremely progressive companies.

Here again stating a condition, but not identifying the problem. To what end? What's the cost to the family? To the mother? To the child? The social cost?

I can't help but feel you're just regurgitating political talking points which, frankly, aren't designed to solve problems. They're designed to emotionally hook with a voter base and ultimately get the person elected, or the newspaper sold, or whatever self-serving reason someone in power would actively choose to be so vague as to not even concretely identify a problem. It's just the notion of a problem.

I'm not saying there's no problems. I'm just saying you spent a lot of words trying to counter the parent post, but didn't say much at all. I'd like to learn more about this, but I can't find much online, and unfortunately your post wasn't very helpful.

Do you know more than you said and you're just holding it close to your chest for the sake of brevity?
Can't reply directly to the sibling comment on DeFi, but that solves the issue raised above e.g.: I have 100k worth of BTC, I want to spend that on something but I expect the value of my BTC to rise, so I use it as collateral for a pegged coin (say USDC or DAI) and make a purchase.

I am protected from losses of spending my BTC. As with all finance yes I also carry the risk of BTC falling and liquidating my loan - but assuming I have not also lost my loan I am protected from a major fall, as my collateral will be taken and I still have my loaned coins.
I think you should consider trying to write sci-fi short stories to play with your ideas.
It's definitely not a homogenous Poisson process, mainly because of the random changes to mining difficulty and propagation delays. There's a good paper here looking at block arrival times and fitting some different models - https://arxiv.org/pdf/1801.07447.pdf
Honestly as auth0 users we were mulling moving over to okta anyway. Auth0s offering has always been slightly rough around the edges and we end up slightly suboptimal implementations because of that.
We go the other way. We start with openAPI, use dtsgenerator to spit out typescript types, and then use a library (typescript-is) that will generate run-time type check function as part of compilation.

A downside to this is that you need to compile type changes before you can use the change in code, but it gives us a single source of truth for our type definitions and let's us generate a more exacting request and response verification functions that use the (sometimes) more precise open-api definitions (eg a an array with a maximum number of elements and specific string formats), and it's really easy to add a run-time type check to the result of calling into a 3rd party library as well.

For runtypes, you could write a script to use its Static function to spit out the interfaces in pure typescript and then use something like typeconv or ts-to-openapi to make your openapi definition, and then use that script inside your build script to output the openapi schema.
I wish my tax dollars were going to some galaxy-brain forward thinking group of men and women capable of making such reverse engineering challenges for itself; but it almost certainly is the case that what looks like sheer incompetence is just that.

The rules of btc will not change and become a multiple-tier system because of your feelings. Sorry.

I provided evidence (from NY fed) to your burden of proof request.

All one can ask is to have the same rules for everyone. Equal access. No special privileges.No cantillionaires.

If you are a cantiollionaire - good for you.

If you are not a cantiollionaire, then wtf are you defending a clearly corrupt system that further drives inequality and perpetuates cronyism? Is it because you want to be the person distributing freshly printed fiat?

Assuming your well founded intentions are to make the world less inequal via the money printer, the money printer has been proven to do the exact opposite.

If you want to properly critique btc, you can argue that there is a one time cantillon effect until hyperbitcoinization. Then you can get into the discussion of what happens to the people who don't have any. You could discuss UBI or other social systems.
I can imagine a certain pure-theorist mindset being confident enough in their reasoning, but not yet their coding, to report this first. Or, strategically holding definitive proof back as a hammer to deploy once the doubters reveal themselves.

Why not let others do the rote reduction-to-practice?

Why not create an example where your theory was correct, & your reputation was on the line, that took a little while to resolve – but when it does, it does so definitively in your favor, so you are more trusted in future pre-definitive-verification pronouncements?

This of course assumes that genetic (racial) differences in intellectual (and physical, for that matter) ability do not exist. This has never been proven to be the case [1], and never will.

We all know dog breeds have different intellectual and physical characteristics. Why are humans supposedly immune from this? Because it is a morbid reality that throws a wrench in the "all men are created equal" liberal lie.

This is not me advocating for gross eugenics or even discrimination. I just want to point out something frequently missing from these conversations.

> Theft is taking something without paying for it

But taking something without paying for it is not always theft; and one could imagine thieves paying a token amount for something in order to claim it is not theft.

Most importantly, copyright infringement, unlicensed use, and piracy usually fall into the category of "IP theft," which differs from real theft of physical property in important ways such as the harm caused to the owner (e.g. potential lost sales or licensing revenue vs. losing a physical item) as well as associated penalties and remedies.
