I made a Wordpress site last year to start blogging that had this happen. The only reason I found out in this case was from visiting it in edge, which showed a warning pop up, so maybe it was a Microsoft flag instead of google in this case. I never figured out the cause or a way to remedy it and just took the site offline because it was invisible to all search engines. Pretty disappointing
Apart from the obvious questions such as "What does owning an NFT associated with a tweet actually mean?" an interesting aspect of this is: Is Jack Dorsey selling this tweet as CEO of twitter. Does he own it because he's the CEO of twitter and twitter owns the tweet, or does he own it because he wrote the tweet. If he owns it because he wrote it then does that mean I can sell my tweets? If he owns it because he's CEO of twitter does that mean twitter is selling it and it'll be listed on their accounts?

Also, the top bid is by Justin Sun at $2m, a man who from what I can gather is more famous as a "Tech entrepeneur" brand than for anything he's actually done. Also famous for bidding $4.5m for lunch with Warren Buffet.... and then failed to pay up.

Frankly, he looks like a great poster child for this transparent pump and dump.
The case for NFTs rests on a virtuous cycle between artists and buyers. On the artist side, there are temporary benefits, such as increased prices and pandemic-safe fundraising. But the killer feature is programmability - for example, it is possible to program the NFT such that the artist takes a chunk out of every resale on the secondary market. This means that as long as there are buyers, there will be artists issuing their work as NFTs.

The buy side is more complicated, because people buy art for different reasons. But there are benefits such as digitization making money laundering more convenient. The main issue is legitimacy concerns, but so long as artists can benefit from NFTs, they are incentivized to express the legitimacy of the NFT. In the equation of who gets to decide legitimacy, I would say the artist has the most sway.

Of course, it's entirely possible that NFTs will fail. First off, it could fail if the issuing blockchain failed or had a contentious fork. Secondly, it's possible that the primary blockchain or issuer for NFTs could change, which could reduce the value of "obsolete" NFTs. There is also regulatory risk. Finally, there is the possibility that people who abuse NFT system, such as repeatedly reissuing art or issuing pirated art, could poison the well. But that's entirely different from saying NFTs are doomed to fail and inherently worthless.
Maths. Yeah it's a while but I was having fun; at the end of each 2-3 year contract someone would say "would you be interested ..." and I'd take it up. While my work was pretty solid, it wasn't stellar and I didn't really publish enough to warrant a lecturer post, I realised that early on. I once met a woman who'd been doing non-standard analysis (which is both left-field and old-school) as a postdoc for years and I asked her if she saw a future in it, "not really, but while the music plays, I will dance".
For me it is #2. I posted my resume on a looking for work thread and got a contract at good pay and some money I needed at the time.

There have been other threads on HN that helped to put some money in my pocket, but that put the most in.
Since it is a learning exercise, start writing code and let the design emerge as problems emerge. Because the standard for good design is many revisions. It is not getting it right the first time. Good luck.

Milton Friedman

> Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon in the sense that it is and can be produced only by a more rapid increase in the quantity of money than in output... A steady rate of monetary growth at a moderate level can provide a framework under which a country can have little inflation and much growth. It will not produce perfect stability; it will not produce heaven on earth; but it can make an important contribution to a stable economic society.

Increasing the money supply by a great deal doesn't always lead to inflation, but nearly every case of extreme inflation coincided with a large increase in the money supply.

The government printed too much money, effectively making it worthless. It's like trying to get more pizza out of a pie by slicing it into more slices. This also increases transaction costs and destroys value. To give a silly example: imagine if you're running a store and the price of your goods changes every hour. You'd have to pay someone to constantly go around w/ a price change gun and update the prices in a continuous loop

The obvious response is that PMI is a cargo cult. I mean if we're straw-manning everything.
Plus most games are awful at handling connection issues, you'll be dropped from the game and have to reload the entire map and assets again, often taking 30 seconds or more to rejoin.

I'm not sure we should be taking advice about how to load information on mobile devices with spotty connections from the gaming industry.
> is it a terrible idea to hedge that crypto is better or as good as gold during crisis?

Cryptocurrencies are still too volatile and untested. Maybe Bitcoin behaves like gold during a crisis, or maybe it's everyone's play money and when times get tough everyone will sell their Bitcoin first. We just don't have historical precedent for it.
Sadly true. I get by with LibreOffice, but I'm not a power user at all, yet I still hit usability quirks and bugs all the time. For stuff that just needs to work, I use Google stuff instead, if begrudgingly.
Well, I didn't know the acronyms you'd mentioned.. I guess it depends on individual preference, but I don't know, I'd probably rather have some nice shiny metal by my side rather than not have it.. gives the future me a few more options..

I worked at an oil company from 2013 through 2018. A large contingent of the staff were ex. PDVSA employees (Venezuelan nationals) and we're heavily into crypto. I know a number of them told me that you could send $20-$100 of bitcoin to an address and they would go buy groceries or whatever necessities that were controlled by the government for your family.

I know by 2018 they straight up had an app where you could just order anything entirely in crypto.
You’re arguing about naming conventions for a product that hasn’t been released, and where names are all speculative. What you think is an m1x may be called an m2, or a m2x or a dp2fgh.
You could keep using Postgres, but in a special way for such log tables: insert and delete the log records right away. Then use a change data capture tool like Debezium to capture changes from the transaction log and stream them to Kafka, or any other destination.

Your log table will always be empty (so not taking up disk space), but the CDC tool will be able to get all the information from the TX logs (which themselves can be discarded after all replication slots have advanced a given offset). The advantage is that your log entries are transactionally written with the actual application data itself.

We use this technique for instance in the Debezium Quarkus extension for implementing the outbox pattern [1]. Postgres even allows you to insert records directly to the TX log via pg_logical_emit_message() - so no table involved at all -, but we don't support this in Debezium yet.

Disclaimer: I work on Debezium.

Now that is a comment that brings a productive discussion. Thank you. :)

I was indeed weary of keeping only the fanless cooler, so I ended up installing the stock one. Coupled with the fact that it is a big case and it has a lot of fans, I assume that would be enough.

Anyway, what you are saying about the misleading TDP is interesting. Perhaps I will get a 3900X or a 5800X system and if it works out I will return the Intel.

In my experience, IDEA is just better in the things it does well and just worse in the things it doesn't. Without spending days searching for extensions and configurations, Jetbrains' products beat Code every time when it comes to Java and the related ecosystem. When it comes to C/C++, Clion is one of the best IDEs there are, and VS code can only get close through extensions and a buttload of JSON.

For frontend, both suck equally as much, but that's just because modern development has turned into a Javascript mess and frontend developers seem to make it their personal mission to change up and replace the entire ecosystem every five years. No IDE can keep up with such an ecosystem without becoming janky and unpredictable.

The language server feature of Code makes it excellent for languages that weren't originally included in the product. For example, Clion has Rust support, but that support comes nowhere near what VS Code can do with the Rust Analyzer addon. Other languages have similar problems with Jetbrains' products; the language server for Code makes it integrate with other languages so well that the two barely even compete.

But, for most of the work I do, the advantages of VS Code seem irrelevant to me. If you develop in a quirky or brand new language, use WSL2 (because you can't or won't use normal Linux) or if you're writing C# code on and for Windows, then it makes sense to use Code, but I just don't see a lot of people with these problems.

The biggest advantage of VS Code I can see is that through its addons, it gets to become fully-featured for free. You might argue that it's open source as well, but as far as I know there's still functionality that Microsoft has hidden away (C# debugging) in open source builds due to licensing issues. In my opinion the pricing on Jetbrains' tools is pretty good; the tools have increased my productivity enough that I'm more than willing to invest in these tools.
Because the value proposition for the current iMac Pro at its current prices was already a bit iffy compared to the new iMacs. Raising the price would just mean the decision to buy a current iMac is much easier.
It also kills performance when you have so many languages configured.
Fundamentals:

1. Start with simple forms. Straight lines. Cross lines. Circle. Square. Triangle. - sketch on paper with pencil (preferably HB) - One/Two weeks period 30 - 50 sketches a day. Don't try to be perfect at all. The goal here is to create muscle memory and to get a level of comfort while drawing. Try to do circles - ovals in one movement. Avoid shading, the goal here is to draw with lines only.
Try to draw by locking your wrist in fixed position and direct the movement from your shoulder. Listen to music if this is helpful to be calm and relaxed. Make it fun in some way. Enjoy the repetitiveness of the process.

2. Remove the big ideas, avoid digital tools, don't watch "how others are good".

3. After you get decent results of circles, squares and triangles - repeat the procedure with more complex objects - try to draw combinations of those elements.

--------------

This is the most simple and most important part. When you develop a muscle memory of drawing freely simplest forms, you can take the next steps.
- drawing from nature cubes, spheres and cones from paper models.
- fundamentals of perspective, shadow and light
- fundamentals of composition

And practice, practice, practice. :)

Factorio is a 2d game where logistics is one of the core problems players have to solve. When they implemented multiplayer they went for the "every player/server simulates the whole game perfectly deterministically"-strategy which is great imo, but it begs the question: what happens when simulations diverge? They call it Desyncronization [1], and it's considered a bug.

They had lots of desyncs at first, but nowadays Factorio is fantastically stable in this respect. One of the tools they developed for themselves to achieve this (and the reason why I'm bringing up Factorio here) is called "Heavy Mode" [2], which is a game option that saves & reloads the full game state on every tick (the game targets 60 ticks/s), and compares the before/after states for inconsistencies.

Perhaps a similar "Heavy Mode" for Wasm live migrations could aid in hardening such a feature. E.g. spawn two instances of the same process on different hosts, and migrate both to new hosts every, say, 100k instructions, comparing a hash of their serialized representations at each migration.

They mention the theory of disease in the Wikipedia article but dismiss it on grounds that the fires were so destructive it seems illogical they were used as a cure.

> Fumigation: Another theory posits that the fires were used for sanitary reasons to smoke or fumigate a building, in order to get rid of pests, disease, insects, and/or witches. However, the evidence does not support this viewpoint. All of the structures within these settlements were completely burned and destroyed. Because the damage from the fire was almost total for the entire settlement, it would be illogical if fumigation was the only intent.[2][3]
To be quite honest, this seems like a case of Libel and possibly Tortious Interference on behalf of Google/Alphabet.

Especially if you can show damages/customers cancelling service, I think this would be a hill to die on. Google et al have too much power, even over people and orgs that aren't even customers. Its high time we reign their powers in, find them strongly culpable for what they do (and what they change and then refuse to do), and consider breaking up these monster companies up when they show they are against the public interest.

Were you, uploaderwin, given a notice prior (say to abuse@uploader.win , admin@uploader.win or other appropriate mails) to being effectively banned WRT google? I'd go on a limb and say you didnt. No, you have to be aware of the right page at Google, register you as an admin to the site, and hope they share what they consider abuse.

And frankly, you were lucky you got the social media escalation. You should have never had this happen... But here we are.

This is pretty funny. It sounds like some governing bodies the author of this document is familiar with have inappropriately used this forecasting procedure as a governance procedure. This is totally something I can imagine some bright-eyed local politics midwit doing.
> it is possible to program the NFT such that the artist takes a chunk out of every resale on the secondary market

I hear this and like the notion, but I'm curious - how does the smart contract know what the sale price was?
I should have said "engage in illegal activities" to be more precise.

If I wanted to, right now, buy drugs online, engage in illegal online gambling, ransom someone's data, etc it will most likely be done in BTC or maybe Monero.
What I've found over the years is that Apple's marketing can often lead people to buy tools they don't necessarily need. For every consummate Macbook professional I've found, there's always another savant who prefers to spend their money on a 15 year old Thinkpad and a 2-year supply of Four Loko. It's a somewhat ironic equilibrium in my eyes, but I think that's part of the ultimate joy of programming.

However, I mostly agree with you. I think Apple's marketing does a pretty poor job of communicating the difference in their products, and it's certainly intentional. One of my friends ended up buying the iMac Pro for development, and I can't understand for the life of me why. Similarly, he also derides me for not buying a Mac Mini already and ditching my Linux ecosystem for good. C'est va, I suppose.
And now the side it actually dead? Anyone find a cached version? Had something similar almost happen and was curious to read!
This is it. This is the end-game of the dragnet surveillance work that employs a significant population of Hacker News.

You have literally turned cell phones into an informant which is used to fucking murder the user.

I was guessing that we are seeing a simplification of the Mac lineup because the variety of processors available is going to be constrained. Right now we have the M1 and I would expect and M1X or M2 coming up. I don't think they will have the part count Intel has had.
I was actually saying that everyone gets to choose how they spend time.

Although I don't usually do this very much for for fun fiction, I otherwise select/hilite text that I think is important while I am reading. When I think of a previously read book, it is quick to open just the hilites - for me this is a great trigger for my memory (I am almost 70, so this helps!)

re: joy of reading: this really hit home when my grandchildren were really young, especially the transition from my doing all the reading to them taking over reading.
FWIW I got the latest 27in iMac when it released last August and it fits all my needs (Plus I did want the Boot Camp support). Granted, if we knew M1 and Rosetta was going to be this good I may have reconsidered.

That said I may get the rumored 14in MacBook Pro with an M1X as well.
That's because current technology is largely limited to visual and aural stimulation, with motion tracking included in the input. When it becomes feasible to stimulate the other senses with a reasonable level of granularity, VR's day will truly come.
HN to start monthly thread: Who's single?
Would it be far-fetched to postulate that the sentiment and phrase could be traced to this practice, passed down continuously?
When the article talks about manufacturability, I wonder what was the actual state of German manufacturing in 1925, or worldwide for that matter. What we think of as modern manufacturing developed much later, and its epicenter has moved from country to country -- America, Japan, China, etc.

Still, the point remains that the artists did not always dream up practical designs. Buckminster Fuller wasn't exactly an engineer -- I don't think he had a degree. In my own neck of the woods, we have the movement surrounding Frank Lloyd Wright. I've been in a few of his buildings, and they are maintenance nightmares.
I was told by our Rep we can no longer get the 512 SSD on a 27” custom order.
I think Apple users employ the word "literally" to insinuate that they don't actually own the device, but they've seen their favorite apologist tech-tubers run some comparisons and really liked what they saw.
Magnetic cores can be used to do logic, and there were a few solid-state computers based on that premise (with Mhz clock rates long before transistors caught up)

It is possible to build the equivalent of an FPGA with cores and programmed jumpers like this. It could be useful on the surface of Venus if sufficiently high temperature materials were used.
Maybe it was bedbug remediation.
What is the frontend in a setup like that? Is it Pro Tools on Wine, or something else?
I have to agree it does feel more like a forum. I wonder how HN achieves this.

Well, I would expect that might be an option depending on what powers the Mac Pro going forward. I wonder if Apple is at the multi-CPU stage. I am expecting external RAM and I hope ECC for the next Mac Pro.
I'm sure people said similar things about marcel duchamp in his time. toilets and drawing mustaches on people are two mainstays of puerile humor.
Indeed, I haven't used VS Code a lot but my few experiences with it were largely figuring out which of the available plugins for a particular function was the "right" one, with all of them sitting at various levels of "working". The IntelliJ, Sublime, and heck even TextMate 2 plugin experience is cleaner in that regard.
I did not try that myself, but I think that you can switch enabled plugins with a simple text file. So you should be able to write simple BAT files to launch Idea for different sets of plugins if you need to.

Or may be there are better ways to do so. Anyway just enable what you need.
This is a better showcase:

How the internet ruins your productivity by design
Interesting that the conclusion has to do with the type of consumption, because as I was reading the article I was unable to figure out whether there had been an increased consumption or "just" a lack of availability of containers and workers. But the article ends with:

> Some experts assume that as vaccinations increase and life returns to normal, Americans will again shift their spending — from goods back to experiences — reducing the need for containers.

Beyond masks, is it really the case that consumption of goods dramatically increased? Is it only a North America issue? A US issue?
GitHub Security Lab: Capture the Flag
A somewhat radical rephrasing would be that the IDEA products occupy the space that used to be held by Borland IDE or something like Quick Basic whereas VSCode seems more like an Emacs for the javascript age. (which I find surprisingly fitting, considering how according to The good Parts javascript is just a scheme with curlies)
I wouldn't assume that's unintentional. The Feds probably love having that level of indirection built in. Eases warrent requirements, and you don't get news headlines about government trackers in your devices.
I spent nearly 1 year with VS code before paying for Jetbrains for good. The time I wasted with VS Code and all its configurations from different plugins in json format can't justify the time I lost with IDEs.

Not to mention, Pycharm, PHPStorm, GoLand, Clion,Webstorm etc all have consistent UI and shortcuts. You learn one and it's quick to pick other ones.

Yes I still use vim for console coding sometimes, but Jetbrains is where I got most of my productivity these days.
