Does Deno have a standard API for building Rust modules that communicate with JavaScript? With Node, you have the N-API which is C++, which you can use with the Rust wrappers. But, a standard Rust API for native modules would be much nicer to use compared to the N-API...
I've been interested in what will happen without the block reward.

One (small) thing which really irritates me about bitcoin is how it is claimed it is "not inflationary", yet for it's entire existence so far, the block reward has made it more inflationary than all major currencies -- it's easy to claim that at some point in the future you will stop inflation, I'll believe it when I see it.

Possibly worth noting: the title of that blog post ("Lambda: the ultimate Excel worksheet function") is a reference to a famous series of papers (https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Lambda_Papers) by Guy Steele and Gerald Jay Sussman with titles of the form "Lambda: the ultimate X", with X = Imperative, Declarative, GOTO, Opcode. (These also gave their name to a programming-languages blog: http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/.)
Ron Lancaster’s “tinaja” webpage was my dad’s browser homepage for years, I think starting back in the late 90’s. Maybe it still is. My dad loves it because it has links for just about everything he’s interested in.
Yes, that's the one. I've have that menu as well, but it's not always there. I think there were a couple of versions without it, but they probably realised this exact problem and put it back. Still not a very discoverable thing for someone who doesn't know exactly what they're looking for though.
The way to understand this, ask if PoS would have been bitgold released in 2009.

As bitcoin wasnt valued in 2009-2011, its value in USD was basically zero. Yet the cost of attacking the PoW even during that time was the cost of electricity which was higher than zero.

PoS, if it was released in 2009 instead of PoW, the cost to attack it would have been zero, as the price of bitcoin was.

There is a solution to this but none of the shitcoins have it implemented, instead chosing to give the creators all the power and majority stake.
I agree. I get way more out of my watch that I initially expected.
So you don't think it's newsworthy that the most sensitive financial info held for every American was supposed to be secured by someone with no security background?

People's lives were destroyed by that breach. It wasn't a victimless mistake. The public wanted to know how it happened, and hiring the wrong person is part of how it happened.
You don't need to 'claim' anything. It's written into the rules of the blockchain. You cannot change the rules like that and expect to have your blocks appended to the canonical chain.
I just think people are too much in a hurry with results. With these things, the lag between discovery to commercial viability is decades, not months...
I solve that issue by putting all my images in a folder and referencing them with a filepath. Not quite as portable as a single html file containing images but as somebody not planning to regularly send it to friends it gives a lot of flexibility to alter and change images easily, just add to the folder and reference.

Surely with a deflationary currency, interest rates would need to be significantly higher, making it harder to borrow the capital you need to start a business.

As someone with capital the expected rate of return will have to be high to make it worth lending rather than just holding on to it in a deflationary situation.
From this list, I assume the isotopic purity is the biggest contribution to the price, though I expect relative lack of mass production doesn’t help: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_hardening
That's not really the argument though. I would wager GP is more lamenting the writing style and "hype" surrounding certain tech, which causes widespread misinformation in the longer term, instead of reporting accurately and keeping scientific literature concise and accurate.
Sorry but please take a longer look:

- The series is currently in the process, see the ‘roadmap’ at the end (along with an explanation of the current state of things).

- The author is european and uses british english, ‘the crash’ it’s just a quick way to introduce that generation (have you clicked in any console?).

- List is grouped by ‘generations’, not whether they are ‘portable’ or ‘home console’. Again, that’s not the point of the series... you only have to click on one console...
I think the assumption is that:

1. the tree will eventually be replaced by another tree, but more trees are being planted overall than are dying, so their numbers go up

2. the time dimension matters a lot. i.e. sequestering lots of CO2 inside trees now is still useful even if it gets released later because by then maybe technology will have improved to be less fossil fuel dependent.
It really depends on circumstance.

Superficially, I think that if someone owns shares in a company, those are private property. However, there are schemes where it's not a share in the traditional sense of the word (like trade on the open stock market), but a private stock. I was part of a scheme at my previous employer (not the US) where I could buy 'certificates', a bit like stock but it was not publicly traded, it did not give you any voting rights, the price would be set once a year (based on annual results), and it would be bought back (at the last known rate) after your employment. It paid dividends though, and the value appreciated greatly over the span of a few years.

Re: pensions, where I live, pensions and pension funds are completely different entities from the company you work for. You own your pension, your employer pays contributions to it. Since it's not part of your employer, if you get sacked you don't lose your pension. I think that's how it should be tbh.
You don’t need to remove energy from an object to measure it.

If you shine a flashlight into a dark room, you are measuring the positions of objects inside, and those objects don’t lose their energy.

Not sure why downvoted. But it’s true, it’s not for everyone. I love my oculus but I can only play games in which I am stationary (my character doesn’t move unless I move in the real world)

It’s a shame because this looks fantastic but I probably won’t be able to use it without getting motion sickness almost immediately.
The technique I used when I was younger was blocking my nose and trying to inhale through it at random points throughout the day. If you're dreaming, you'll be able to breathe through a blocked nose. If you turn this into a habit, you'll eventually do it inside of a dream, and become lucid.

The second necessary component is developing your dream recall (it's no use having lucid dreams if you can't remember them). You do this by writing down your dreams in as much detail as possible every morning when you wake up. At first you may only remember a couple of dreams every month, but do this often enough and you'll eventually work your way up to remembering 5-10 dreams every night.
I think it's amazing that Beyond Meat has managed to convince everyone that their extremely complicated, oily, fatty, plant-protein based burgers are any sort of ersatz for beef.

I have tried burgers made with it, they taste fine, but I can't believe that it is any healthier than beef. And I don't believe that a more expensive product has any chance of offsetting beef demand.
My personal enjoyment is watching people argue against measures which have demonstrably been effective in cities around the world (Vienna, Toronto) based on purely theoritical and ideological reasons while failing to address both their poor understanding a subject underpining their ideology and the fact that the current situation is actually broken.
Yeah, it's usually there, but I've also seen it not be. I never bothered to figure out why, it was probably just a short-lived update and I guess many people got stuck on it for a bit. It's still definitely the kind of thing even a more capable user probably wouldn't think to even look for if they didn't know about the whole media vs comms stream thing and that exact menu.
Frustrating article. The correlations they hint at aren't completely explored. And the first graph is what? Total debt, or per household?
Awesome controls, although a little disappointed in the image quality. Hoping for a v2 of this
I also got one of those, unfortunately the V1 which doesn't have the microphone. It has a decent feel to it, plenty of features packed into small form and decent amount of open source support.

Hardware wise, display and touch sensor is quite good and I was surprised that I was able to type with 90% accuracy on a tiny qwerty keyboard. The tiny speaker is very low quality and not really usable for speech. There's also a vibration motor, acceleration sensor and IR transmitter (not sure if it can receive, schematics are not available).

I was disappointed by the battery and even more with clumsy charging (micro USB with plastic cover) that I could not see myself using daily. The documentation is very thin and the digging soon hits docs written in Chinese.

I enjoyed the blog post that walks through watch's hardware and brings it to life: https://nick.zoic.org/art/lilygo-ttgo-t-watch-2020/

Community is fragmented across C / MicroPython / Arduino / Scratch environments, as well as across different variants of TTGO watch. It's not too hard to find examples online, but putting them together into something useful takes time and effort.

I chose T-Watch over Watchy because the touchscreen should allow for far richer interaction than 4 side buttons. On the other hand my watch is at the moment loaded with useless and too slow firmware that hangs after few minutes of use. I purchased the T-Watch without any delusions that I'm getting a functional watch. It works well as an isolated handheld ESP32 development platform.
I've been on it for 17 years. I have been off it twice during my adult life, about 6 months each time. Just to see if maybe I didn't need it. Tendencies I can only describe as autistic returned. For me, it seems to be long term beneficial.
> - Low res analog video -> high res digital video

> - Modest transmission range -> long range

Those are not really new. DJI has been selling their standalone digital FPV system for a while now.
And there are lot's of different long range radio systems available.

But I agree that this is impressive. I wonder if Betaflight, etc. will also implement some kind of bail out feature.
Besides speculation there is a minority who does use it as an actual currency, often in countries where their domestic currency is unusable (sanctions, inflation, etc).

Also, just because there isn't a use-case now doesn't mean it isn't valuable to keep a currency immune to government interference around just in case you end up having a use-case for it later.
First, Nordic households are taxpayers, not a third party just watching the EU giving someone's elses money to yet someone else.

Second, European middle class is already pretty juiced. Total level of taxation is pretty high and real estate is becoming unbearably expensive. This is a huge problem; with some exceptions (Germany), Europeans think of themselves as middle class when they own at least one home or apartment, and this used to be well possible until at least 2015. But a combination of overregulation (not enough being built) and cheap capital is killing this dream.
Yes yes, survivorship bias, but the problem is actually interesting in several aspects:

1. On an individual level, it's impossible to distinguish between survivorship bias and doing things right. If you are the surviving one, did you do things differently or did you just get lucky? In a coin-toss competition, the answer is obvious. When it comes to stocks, it's not.

Because:

2. The general (academic) consensus to differentiate between luck and skill when it comes to investing is: Can you be profitable for a long period of time? But do you really need to prove yourself over and over that you have the skill? What if you had the skill only once, to predict one certain event and have tremendous gains with it? Apparently, this is considered "luck" and not "skill" when it comes to investing. Which I find odd.

Add the nonlinear utility of money: Your first million makes the biggest impact on your life, especially if you earn it early in life. Buying an ETF sets you up for a good retirement (probably, maybe), but the GME stock picking YOLO might put you on a different trajectory.

3. When it comes to finance and investing, we all know the academic view: passive investing / buy & hold is king, you can't predict the winners. All true of course, but the problem is: there is no resolution to this. You can say that, in hindsight, buy & hold returned X% on average over the last 50 years, but have to warn that "past performance is no indication for future performance". And ultimately, you can calculate your true performance only if you realize profits to do something with it in life or if you are about to die.

So, on an individual level, you have two choices:

- Buy and hold a passive index fund and hope that the performance of the last X years is indicative for the future performance, because that's how the stock market works (or whatever).

- Expose yourself to luck/chance/positive black swans by doing some skilled or unskilled stock picking that has potential to put you on another trajectory in life.
It’s very easy to get protein diversity in a vegetarian or a vegan diet, though I grant it isn’t automatic like it would be in a meat diet.
It has nothing to do with the article but in general the people of northern Europe feel like they constantly need to help the struggling economies in the south finans their government budgets. Recently the EU borrowed money collectively for the first time to help coutries like Italy. Italy can not borrow at the same low rates as Germany, or Denmark, but if the EU borrow the money on behalf of Italy then they can piggy back on the excellent credit rating of northen Europe.

There’s a grown sense that the southern economies should be allowed to collaps and just deal with their own mess. This is completely ignoring any knock of effect on the rest of the EU and centered on a rather outdate world view, assuming the the economies of the individual EU coutries are completely disconnected.

Harmonic oscillator can have a ground state where it doesn’t move (i.e. you can stop it if you remove the enegy).

Time crystals move at the ground state - you cannot stop them by removing the energy.
Is MIT Sloan Management Review an MIT Press thing? It sort of looks like it isn't, at first glance so it might not be related to this at all.
Yeah it seems kind of obvious. It's also worth pointing out that you can get a 30-year fixed rate loan at just above 1% in interest [1]. Money is cheap, so people are likely to borrow more.

Personally, I dislike taking the risk of the bank. Assessing the risk and setting the interest rate accordingly is the job of the bank. Taking that risk away eliminates that function of a bank.

A one-time fee also seems to be counter-intuitive, if you want to be more social and enable poorer people not to be further disadvantaged by being naturally in a higher risk group on top of not having the capital to pay such a fee on top. Or is there a social component in that fee?
Are there any other companies besides E-ink Corp that sell ^AMEPD^?
What you have described is an ideal time crystal.
Unfortunately the time crystals we can create in the lab do need an external force, but this force can have a higher frequency than the oscillation of the crystal.

Part of it is low demand, so you don't benefit from economies of scale. Also the customers buying this type of equipment are able to bear such costs. They aren't gonna haggle over $100k on a critical component to a $3B mission.
Thanks for sharing, but please bear in mind that this, as a ‘series’, is currently in the process.

> The US Dollar system is failing.

What makes you think that?
I've not used it professionally for anything yet but I have been hacking around with it on the side for fun (I've recently created a Gopher protocol client and added it as a Third Party module: https://github.com/matt1/deno-gopher / https://deno.land/x/gopher@v0.0.5-alpha - it has been a fairly enjoyable process)

On the whole I have been quite happy with it - the VSCode support is now pretty good (and even without proper integration it was still fully usable even if I didn't get intellisense and had some red squiggles around the imports etc), and sounds like this release will improve it even more.

I do agree though that the documentation is a bit sparse - the auto-generated docs are nice enough, but it could benefit a bit more from some more coverage of human-generated docs for some of the more common use-cases... that will come with time I guess.

My main criticism is that the built-in test framework is a GREAT thing to have, but it does not have support for mocking or spies so it is limited in real-world usefulness.

E.g. in my Gopher protocol client, there is not an easy way to mock out the `Deno.connect` built-in function to create a TCP socket so it is hard for me to test failures at the TCP level. I am sure with some gymnastics I can abstract everything away under layers of interfaces and classes and manually inject everything to make testing easier, but it would be nice to just be able to mock/spy out functions/classes rather than have the entire architecture of the project be dictated by the testing framework. There are third-party alternatives that can be used, but I'd prefer to stay as close to "standard" as possible.
It's supported by both logic and experience.

It's easy to see logically if we flip the relationship. If house prices are steadily increasing (equivalent to inflation, where my purchasing power is decreasing), I want to convert my money into a house as quickly as possible. If house prices are decreasing (equivalent to deflation, where my purchasing power is increasing), I want to hold off as long as possible.

In recent experience, the rapid deflation of bitcoin has coincided with its identity pivot from medium of exchange to store of value - because why would you spend an appreciating asset?

That's not to mention the other side of the coin that deflation is necessarily accompanied by decreases in nominal income (because all the products you sell are cheaper in dollar terms, by definition) and nominal salaries.

And as coliveira stated, the economy depends on spending - and that applies just as much to an open free market economy. To suggest that the desire to want people to spend is somehow a feature unique to planned or state-run economies is nonsense.

I really like DJI and how innovative they have been in making awesome consumer products that just work and are super easy to use. I have owned a few.
I'm not trying to draw a line from the modern left to genocide. But I don't agree with refusing to acknowledge historical facts for fear someone might draw that line.
You're forgetting the student dept almost all students have to get into nowadays. And although credit cards are not as common for household expenses, a lot of retailers offer loans to buy appliances and such. I'm curious as how much people actually use these kind of constructs.
So the rest of the world should do nothing until they do something instead of setting an example or starting somewhere? What's the point of this statement? Just keep pointing fingers to the black sheep, and the black sheep will defend itself by saying that it is only fair that it gets to do what the other countries got to do before environmentalism was a thing.

Yeah, that'll solve problems.

It's defeatist standpoint, and as a statement it only serves to undermine any green initiative not taken in China or India. You could pose it as a question: “But how can we get China and India on board?”, and you might provoke more meaningful responses.
That first study compares to meat-containing diets with each other, see the methods section.

You are correct, I support every known browser, and I test with every browser I can get my hands on.

I consider all our communications to be monitored, and put accessibility above so-called privacy.

Anyway, I don't believe SSL provides privacy in any reasonable way except against the most basic of attackers.

For text-based websites which only provide information for reading and do not deal in commerce, I think making SSL optional is perfectly reasonable, and our SSL obsession has hurt us tremendously in accessibility, while adding a huge attack layer and obfuscating our own communications from ourselves.

We have a handful of PowerApps at our company and they’re really just forms hosted on Sharepoint sites. Type in some info, select some drop downs and hit enter. I still haven’t experienced PowerApps from the development side, but I’ve been pretty unimpressed with the work I’ve seen from it.
