It seems they are regularly maxing out their network infrastructure. If it's so cheap, how come they don't just buy more? Is it the cost of the actual hardware? (I know they recently upgraded)
Feynman's lectures on the character of physical law should be something everyone sees in school.

In general we look for a new law by the following process: first we guess it, then we compute the consequences of the guess... and then we compare those computation results to experiment.

If it disagrees with experiment it is wrong. In that simple statement is the key to science. It doesn't make a difference how beautiful your guess is. It doesn't make a difference how smart you are, who made the guess, or what his name is. If it disagrees with experiment its wrong, that's all there is to it.

Notice however that we never prove it right... In the future there could be a wider range of experiments, or you could compute a wider range of consequences, and you may discover then that the thing is wrong. That's why laws like Newton's laws for the motions of planets last such a long time... It took several hundred years before the slight error in the motion of Mercury was developed.

You need to redefine success if you think that’s failure. The software is almost by definition not a magnum opus if it isnt understandable or well documented. This attitude is somewhat pervasive but we really need to set better examples through clarity; not cleverness.
It takes 1/10th the time to initiate a funds transfer via crypto (eg. Bitcoin) as it does to effect the same wire transfer or ACH using most banks's treasury management systems. This, and the fees can be less depending on the token used; but are considerably less if the transfer is cross-currency. The transit time is about the same if BTC is used, less if one were to use XLM (Stellar) for example.
Where exactly is the list by numbers across the board? Unless you believe only community regimes kill.
Every different CPU architecture and OS architecture is a different package. Software distributions already know this. The individual packages need to be verified.
Ponzi schemes have a schemer with asymmetric information about the scheme. How is the analogous to bitcoin since there is no asymmetric information (anyone can see the code). You can argue that bitcoin is a pump and dump scheme perhaps but not a Ponzi scheme.

Mileage may vary and it depends on the direct impact an approved review has (ie: is it CD to production or are there other quality gatekeepers), but giving junior members this responsibility can greatly help them in personal growth. They can always ask for a co-review if they think they are not able to make a decision, which itself can be another learning moment. And you don't have to tell them you secretly also review the code before it is pushed to prod ;).
yeah I would say in principle this makes sense but in practice a junior will typically say "this is beyond me but you're the senior so if it works, it works!"

It is an opportunity to go through the code and concepts at least.
> I find it difficult to attribute him to either party.

When your mental model is persistently at odds with the way things work out in reality, you need to reexamine your mental model.

Trump thinks he’s a Republican. A large majority of Republicans enthusiastically agree. I don’t know what you mean by “attribute” but however he got there, Trump is very definitely a Republican.

It might help to recognize that a political party in the US is not one thing. They are a shifting coalition of groups and individuals who have found a way to work together, sometimes comfortably and sometimes not, sometimes for the long term and sometimes not. The policies shift and people change continuously as each tries to get and keep power.
The older stuff uses bigger(size) transistors, which are inherently more robust against a cosmic ray causing a bit flip, and thus easier to make radiation hardend versions.
“Security is not a feature of the language or tool […] Security is the process”

True, but if the process discovers that a lot of lives are lost because of the use of unsafe tools, it changes the tools to add safety features (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chainsaw_safety_features), or ditches them altogether (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazard_substitution#Processes_...)

So, yes “rewrite in rust” isn’t the full answer, but that does not imply “don’t write it in C” isn’t part of the answer.

I partly agree that it's weird that it takes something complicated to solve local development. That said, we've explored a wide range of options over the past few years and the local emulation route can be really hard to setup and ends up being pretty slow.

I've personally gone back and forth on the idea of purely local vs cloud based development. And fwiw, SST strikes a very interesting balance between the two. You get the feel of a local environment, while still connecting to every cloud resource.

Here's a good book on software reverse engineering (SRE): https://www.amazon.com/Practical-Reverse-Engineering-Reversi...

It won't help you with PowerPC, but the chapter list is: x86 and x64, ARM, The Windows Kernel, Debugging and Automation, and Obfuscation.

The book was written in 2014, so it should be reasonably relevant for modern purposes, and especially so if digging into any software older than 2014.

Anecdotally, it took me about an afternoon. I realize that I'm more technical than the average person, so setting up the certs and installing the python deps was a breeze because I've done it before; the documentation for the synapse homeserver was also quite good.

I see where you're coming from, but is this offering geared towards people like that? Looks like there's a significant push to get people who've had their own servers running to adopt this new service, and Element as a whole is geared towards the techy DIY crowd. I know there have been concerns raised in other threads about its UX problems, and from personal experience most of my friends don't share the same concerns that I do about data security or bootstrapped personal infrastructure.
The media use "the science" not "science" to tell people what is "the truth". That is the problem. People are first told that something is "the truth" then if it later turns out to be wrong it eradicates trust in science. Its backwards. In science if something is proven wrong, it should increase trust because it demonstrates that mistakes if made are found and corrected. It demonstrates that science does accumulates more valid than invalid information over time because invalid stuff is removed.

There is also a fear to accepting that we (humanity or science) dont know something yet. Its better to simply accept that we dont know than to choose or worse let others choose based on no evidence.
CoffeeScript served a purpose, and was not a fad. It got deprecated by an ECMAScript that adapted most of the good parts.

TypeScript brought something good for the JS ecosystem (although Flow did it too, in a different way) and it doesn't look like anything will be able to replace it at what it does anytime soon.
A Ponzi scheme is a specific type of financial scam and Bitcoin, even with the least charitable definition, does not fall under that definition.

Needing new buyers for price to increase is not the definition of a Ponzi scheme. Because that is true for any speculative asset due to the price setting mechanism. Your argument entails that the price of Bitcoin is highly inflated over its fundamental value, i.e. that it is a speculative bubble. Speculative bubbles are very different from Ponzi schemes. A Ponzi scheme has the following definition according to the SEC:
>“A Ponzi scheme is an invest­ment fraud that pays existing investors with funds collected from new investors. Ponzi scheme organizers often promise to invest your money and generate high returns with little or no risk. But in many Ponzi schemes, the fraud­sters do not invest the money. Instead, they use it to pay those who invested earlier and may keep some for themselves."

Ponzi schemes require a central fraudster to pass on money directly from old to new investors with the underlying asset obfuscatedly held on promise by the fraudster.

With cryptocurrency the buyer has control of the commodity, you actually have control of the crypto, there is no promise of a consistent return with little risk, there is no central entity defrauding targets with promises that hold the asset in reserve passing on money directly from new to old investors.

What we do have is a speculative bubble which will no doubt be devastating for new investors when it collapses. But the definition of a Ponzi scheme is not met.

Because he routinely harasses other trans people and has a coterie of cis people chomping at the bit to bully trans kids he retweets and mocks. He's not called that for the quote you chose.

> That's right, all criticism of bitcoin or cryptocurrencies is necessarily down to jealousy, and therefore can be safely dismissed.

It all depends on the audience, but on HN in particular you are right. The site is rife with people who could not fathom the value at launch and who've been in denial since without ever putting the work to learn about the ecosystem.

Notice how "debates" around cryptocurrency on HN never delve into technical arguments, and compare that peculiarity with discussions on Reddit for example.

Chocolatey is the only thing I use to install stuff both on CI and on each dev machine and I regularly create packages for it [1]. I worked hard to make what I need stable and not depend on their existence - [2] and all the repos using the same methodology release packages on GH [4] and there is a handy script to install from there. I also created AU for it [3] and managed to convince people to embed software in packages [5] so packages always work (you can cache them on your own via file system, artifactory, nexus etc). You can also host your own gallery in number of different ways. So, in short, there is escape plan. TBH, it looks like choco is going better then ever. And you can't simply find any better repository for sw, its better and more up to date then most linux package repos (on par with Arch).

> I am not that into the way MS is doing the winget thing,

That is years away IMO, no scripting there too, and it moves like a snail. I would really be embarrassed if I were leading that team.

> I see a lot of manual scripts for installing things on Windows CI systems

Yeah, most people suck, like their scripts :-) There is literary 0 chance for you to make reliable installation script in general that works in any context.

> I really like chocolatey but I am worried it will disappear soon.

Just use it. I don't work for them. I maintain core team repo [2]. Its great tool now. What will happen tomorrow nobody knows but like I said, you have escape plan and even if they go down your CI will still work for many years if you set it up properly.

Bitcoin is only popular because tech workers get paid a lot and have the ability to speculate, we live in a world of massive asset bubbles created by government fiscal policies and Bitcoin is excellent for buying drugs on-line.

Most people want security in their assets, which is why a majority of folks read articles about bitcoin but never touch one.

All of these articles are great examples of creative writing. I do kind of enjoy them.
A feeling that skills once learned with difficulty are becoming obsolete?

It's seeing every tiny bit of progress accompanied by ten steps backward as a new language community re-solves and then re-breaks things that were already figured out by other ecosystems. Most "progress" is just going in circles with NIH syndrome, plus a bit of counterproductive cargo culting whatever some famous company does.

New science is only accepted if it does a better job of explaining old problems and anticipating new ones. Every new tech should have to justify itself in the same way. If it's not giving you a clear superpower over what already exists, it's not worth using. If it does, then adopt it ASAP.
Can each individual journal (say Nature Neuroscience, Neuron, EMBO, Acta, Lancet, Trends, Annals of Neurology, PLoS, and Current Biology) each feed the dozens of neuroscientist specialists who would be needed as employees to do these reviews?

How would each of those specialists retain currency in the field by just doing reviews?

Isn't that what the editor panels do more effectively today (of course farming out the detailed/specialist aspects to actual peer reviewers)?
Treating the words of authority like scripture is what got us into this mess.
Hey T0ST, thanks a mill for releasing this! I've reduced my online loading time from 120s to 40s thanks to this! Since I have the epic version, I used BigBaseV2-fix where datlimabean04 has adapted (and dare I say slightly improved?) your code. If you like, you could also link to the repo where he has integrated that: https://bitbucket.org/gir489/bigbasev2-fix/commits/branch/lo...

Also the post where he mentions adding the branch with your fix is here: https://www.unknowncheats.me/forum/3078353-post937.html
So you're l saying he raised specific points but that they aren't reflective of his political beliefs but are somehow reflective of mine because I don't agree with them?

That's certainly a level of mental gymnastics to paint things favorably for your political beliefs.
Why would it have to be Soviet blocks?

There were actually two types of Soviet blocks in general terms. The first type was based on community and had a lot of greenery, a lot of community shops in walking distance, and those are actually worth quite a lot of money nowadays.

The rest were those that were built in order to rapidly provide housing to workers as industrial capacity was being massively built up.

In any case, in my city, the most iconic and beautiful housing structure was public housing, so if done right it can be beautiful and amazing to live in.

Otherwise, the private housing market is always there as competition.

If there's anyone I'd trust to get it right, it would be the Berlin lefties. Hopefully they are successful and set a good example for others to follow.
But can you be sure there is no second battery?
This is the article that made things finally click with me. Thinking about the pre-WWI gold standard and the issues that existed there and the improvements that Bitcoin brings around time, consensus, etc.

The baseless negative comments with no interaction with the article content confirms for me that Bitcoin is on to something. Sour grapes syndrome is a result of pride, I think.

Nice reversing article for GameCube, but I think original scoring is much better.

It is preventing you to play same easy levels over and over again, and as fast as possible bringing you to your skill level. Very good adaptive difficulty, it is actually punishing players for choosing to play easy levels behind theirs skill level, keeping game constant challenge.

PS: haven’t played the game, assuming later levels are more difficult

But as the top comment suggests who cares about this stuff. its ridiculous...
Okay, I'll try.

Given the unmeasurable social costs of people starving and dying when there isn't enough food (you can say similarily for people not having houses and freezing to death when there's a blizzard, but also read the sidenote at the end), the capitalists involved in selling and distributing food should not be compensated equally in monetary terms (by selling at higher prices) when there is a shortage of food, since they are the ones at fault of not having reserve resources and prepare their production line from various disasters such as storms and droughts. Even people from the ancient times built and used granaries to store food for years and opened it up to their fellow villagers when storms/droughts happen (even without any profit motives, there wasn't even a notion of "profit" at all!) Capitalists in the current era should prepare far better than them, as our knowledge of biology, climate, and logistics are much more sophisticated than before; a shortage of food should be outright unimaginable given the advanced technology we have. Once there are empty food shelves, the disaster's already happened (at least in the short term you can't materialize food anymore by doing smart "economics"), and really at that dire point capitalists don't deserve the right to receive profit in the same way as normal times.

If the moral argument for this doesn't convince you - then there is a much more convincable political argument (of "dialectical materialism"), which basically goes as: once basic things like food and shelter aren't a given, and then capitalists gouge prices up creating an even bigger moral catastrophe among the poor, enough people would be fucking mad at them and band together wreck shit up, and some people would eventually have their heads cut off (as happened in many points in society, for example the French revolution). It's only that the current structures of power (the state & capital) are much more powerful than the past that this is more unlikely to happen, but if I were really in power I wouldn't dare try to steer closer to this event, as bloodshed doesn't really feel that good to participate. And that's the most uncontroversial center-wing take I can create.

Sidenote: I think your analogy of bread isn't really comparable to the housing problem though, since housing acts less of an ideal commodity than food in economic terms. Housing is far more troublesome if you approach it in a free-market lense, since it's far easier to create a natural monopoly on land than anything else, and thus it is hard for free markets to create a "fair" price that matches with the actual use-value. That's why even some libertarians in support of free markets also think economic rent from land is unfair business practice and should be controlled by heavy taxes (such as the economic ideology of Georgism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgism)

I just want to note that I meant originally for the 5.0.0 work the developers didn't request compensation, and so it hasn't been sent just yet since it the request was recent. It has nothing to do with being paid in Gridcoin or not.

> Its useless development paid by useless coins for the sake of making the useless coins spendable to pay for the useless development. A self-feeding nonsense system that happens to produce software that no one would actually want to pay for.

It's community run. There isn't really a "they" deciding anything or paying for things. It's not paid for so much as compensated. Some people have done work on it without requesting any compensation. I think you think there is a more formal system in place here than there is. The only reason there is a bunch of Gridcoin lying around in that foundation address for this is because of the transition from Gridcoin-Classic to modern Gridcoin [1] which arguably probably shouldn't have been done the way it was, but it's too late for anyone to reverse that decision from 2014.

As with the other thread, I don't think continuing this thread will be lead to very much either.

Lastly, I just want to note that for me, the reason that some of this doesn't matter as much to me personally (not that it doesn't matter at all) is because I view Gridcoin more as an addition to the science. If Gridcoin collapsed and went to zero, I still would have done something useful with my machines and helped science. I can't say that about many other coins.
