You can't resell a game in steam because Valve doesn't let you, not because the game is being made artificially scarce.
Which it is, but this is not the reason you can't resell it.
The point is that reselling an NFT doesn't require a central ledger. The central ledger is necessary to prevent the same token from being sold multiple times by the same seller. In other words, to create the illusion that the seller doesn't have something (and therefore can't sell it) when in fact they actually have it.

Net positive means the benefits, ie. eliminating huge amounts of CO2 that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere, outweighs the costs, ie. your list of capex+opex. Turning gas flares into miners is both ingenious and objectively net positive.
Another important point: JetBrains have long experience of competing against well funded free competitors. In fact they have grown in an environment where there have always been such products: first NetBeans, then Eclipse, now VS Code. Subsidising IDEs has been a common tactic for a long time, VS Code is nothing new. The story is always the same: such IDEs grow quickly for a while because their price is zero, but eventually after the project has become a "success" the parent corporation gets tired of sinking money into it and the executives lose interest. With weakening internal support, the projects get steadily destaffed. Eventually the project may go off the rails by e.g. deciding to rewrite from scratch.

Meanwhile JB survive the assault, continue to invest in their core product (which have been incrementally evolved for decades and were never rewritten from scratch), and come out the stronger party. They cannot lose interest or make self-destructive decisions because the IDEs are their core revenue stream.
The blockchain is only infrastructure. It is an open decentralized cloud for financial services/contracts. Sure vendors could also have their own service and marketplace but why should they. This way they just print and sell some NFTs and that's it.

Of this list, I've seen ads of most on Steam and checked the reviews. That's not what I'm talking about. Most of your list is still one genre, maybe with some new mechanics (not so new in Hades, for example, I've seen shades of this in 1992's Ragnarok).

What I was talking about are games like Star Control 2 and Dune 1, where they boldly mixed completely different genres and, in SC2 case, added a very deep lore and managed to feed it to you at the right pace, not overwhelming you with information, and giving it in entertaining way.

For example, I would love some nice space RPG with FTL-like space combat. But they just don't mix genres that way these days.

Lovely!

A tangentially related question: I've always found FFMPEG-the-cli-program an amazing piece of software, incredibly powerful, versatile and well-made. I therefore expected the same when I had to interact with its library interface (i.e. libavcodec, libavformat) recently. How disappointing, and very frustrating an experience! The docs felt extremely thin and full of "ah yeah don't use the foo function afterall, it's since been replaced with foo_2 and foo_2really3forreal, but the docs don't mention it", and the API conventions seemed very random and inconsistent. Is it just me?

This is not a complaint; thank you to the people who spend their free time developing a free multimedia suite for me to use! I was just surprised about the perceived quality differences between FFMPEG-the-cli-program and FFMPEG-the-library.
I don't understand what you mean. Prospect theory tries to solve the problems with EUT. His methods are within the EUT framework. Whatever the problems in EUT that are solved by prospect theory, they also need to be solved in his theory.

This might make sense for "big" projects, with already several languages and an important need. Else it's not obvious if the burden of having yet another dependency has a favorable benefit-cost result.

In other words, the danger of "now you have two problems" should be considered. http://regex.info/blog/2006-09-15/247
People/formatters that justify their structures drive me completely crazy (I'm looking at you golang et al). It's like they've never tried using revision control before. It just takes a single change in the longest entry and something that was a 1-byte change becomes a 20-line diff. Noisy for code review and 20 times more likely to create a merge conflict.

Just I could make a duplicate of the supreme brick, my duplicate wouldn't have as nearly much value if I tell people it is a duplicate. Supreme could sell bricks again but they probably won't. There's nothing physical that's stops them but there's still an implicit agreement between artist and buyer.

I may not wish to buy own a supreme brick, but I can at least understand why people find it valuable.

I do a lot of Go (years worth) and whilst I still dislike the standard formatting conventions chosen by `go fmt` I do like that I don't have to be concerned about them at all. For Goland, VSCode, or whatever, I just switch on format-on-save and format-on-paste and I'm good to go (so to speak).

The same with Node. I dislike the output of the (also named 'standard') eslint formatting rules I usually end up using, but by activating the auto-format as above the whole issue is redundant.

In other words, I dislike the format but as long as the code is readable I don't care - though as a writer the aesthetics of the formatted code disappoint me, so I can see both sides.

PS. As an aside the mention of prettier elsewhere makes me shudder. I, too, find that a threshold is reached whereby instead of small localised formatting 'fixes' it decides to change a fair amount more than expected which, as mentioned, makes for unnecessarily convoluted commits.

Always true! I've had this problem on several projects in the past decade and I always solved it with the easy solution of copy-paste. However, over the weekend I had an annoying bug in a personal project because the enums I had defined in the Vue frontend had accidentally changed from the enums I defined in the FastAPI backend... Thus Reconstant was born.
That isn't mentioned anywhere in the posting guidelines. I don't think posts should be flagged for breaking rules that don't exist.

It's illegal, so it's hardly a free market.
Rephrasing your questions and critiques more broadly: What is the point of all this digital infrastructure if no one uses it? Why would anyone use it?

This is a more difficult question for NFTs as the market is even smaller than the financial use cases which has been driving blockchain applications. It'll take some time for seemingly legitimate and long-lasting value in areas for NFT to emerge as they are still being explored and developed.

However, no matter how you frame it, rhe value proposition for applications comes down to the value add characteristics of the networks they are built on top of.

> The tokens you acquire are worth nothing.

The tokens worth is determined by the market place that emerges around the tokens characteristics.

Some tokens are censorship resistant and run on globally accessible networks so that they are not easily erased, their ownership is easy to prove, and their history is reliably known. Some tokens are required to access other marketplaces or services because they have properties that make them more easy to use as traditional currencies. Some tokens allow for self-ownership paradigms.

Again, the tokens acquired carry the value of the characteristics of the networks in which they are issued. What these characteristics are valued as and actually "worth" in real economic terms is dependent on their demand.

> The “uniqueness” of the NFT is an illusion; it does not offer any strong guarantee of uniquely representing an actual asset.

This is only true if the NFT isn't accepted as value. If the characteristics I described earlier indeed do become valued, then the ledger which holds the claim i.e. the NFT will be taken as the source of truth for representing the ownership of the claimed asset. Its the theory of accounting applied to a different space.

I would posit that almost any remotely hosted analytics system (privacy oriented or not) is eventually a target for privacy centric browsers. If not now, then in the future.

I mean, let's be honest - the days are fast coming when anything that looks like remotely hosted javascript is going to be blocked, no matter how benign it is.

So could it be that the future is home grown analytics subsystems that reside in your own stack?

That way people who need deeper types of tracking can do it, while those that need shallow analytics can do it too.

It certainly seems to be heading in that direction.
> Your legal name that must appear on documents such as invoices and contracts

I know someone who trips that one every once in a while. Born in the Netherlands and took her partners last name when she married in a different country. Apparently the issue is Netherlands requires that all official paperwork uses the birth name, while the country she currently lives in considers her choice to adopt her partners last name legally binding and neither country will budge on it.
Seems like a sane default to me.
We don’t need any of the advanced features Google Analytics offers. But when I look at the replacements, they also lack basic ones.

A simple one would be showing me the visitors to /blog/ and its subdirectories. And from there allow drilling down to them.

And from a UX perspective, none of them seem to support searching for a specific page to display the stats for. Yes, you can edit the URL, but that’s a horrible way to do it.

edit: To add, they are also very expensive. Above 1 million views/month (which I would say is still a pretty small commercial site) goatcounter already is in "ask us" territory and plausible wants $69/month. As the value add seems very small, we rather use our own homegrown, bare-bones analytics system for anyone who doesn’t consent to analytics.

whats wrong with current iteration? I think rust has become better with things like lifetime elision? And many new thing like GAT, out of band lifetime etc will make it more better?

Before claiming why its counterintuitive I think you should have provided some example to backup such claim.
Rust's philosophy is "frontload the problems", thus complex problems are complex right away. It means it takes a lot of thinking about design, fiddling with data structures, types, looking for elegant design optimizations, but then it works as "intended", compared to a lot of other tools/langs.

Here the author states that the hard (error prone) part is not the coding, but the transliteration from the manufacturer's data sheets. So Rust seems to be adding complexity for no gain at all. (Which is completely fair for a hobbyist project for a keyboard firmware.)

Does this mean Rust should only be used for big systems where that mandatory explicitness about complexity pays off? Does this mean Rust perhaps would benefit from a mode where certain modules/functions are type checked in a different way? (Or that would just make the language even more complex for no significant gain during programming?)
Thank you for good comment. As you say, I have to think measures to stop spam (Now I delete spam manually). For escaping infinite loops, I'm considering to add time out.
> I, for one, fancy the Spacemacs distribution for modal editing and a less 'exciting' configuration experience.

Same, but it's a moving and a rather fragile target. I had to rewind commits or re-clone the repo a number of times in order to get back to a working editor.

> But software configuration is so subjective that expectations of ergodicity (to use that elite-sounding term I just nicked from the other thread) seem premature.

Maybe -- 50/50. You could also argue that a big disclaimer -- "This is an editor for people who enjoy endlessly configuring and debugging it" -- would be a fair announcement and maybe I wouldn't have started with Emacs at all.
Like I said, in the Netherlands. I looked at a couple of the biggest stores and looked at what was available to be picked up or sent over right away. I did recheck and found one single store that sells a RX 550 for €95. Look (warning illegal cookie wall): https://tweakers.net/videokaarten/vergelijken/#filter:q1ZKSc...
Sure, the two copies won't feel, see, hear anything in common. But I also don't hear the sounds I heard yesterday, or feel the sand I felt last year, or even taste the tea I tasted this morning. Regardless of what gives rise to consciousness, there is no continuity in physics, every moment is separate, even if it is caused by the previous one. If you copy me, I am not either of the copies, I am the thing that existed for a brief moment while the copies were created. Even if I stepped into the teleporter, stood right there, and a copy emerged 2m away, the one that stood in the pad is no more identical to the one that walked onto the lad than the one that materialized 2m away.

There is no known process in physics that could give meaning to that identity. So regardless of whether consciousness is emergent or quantum or computational or whatever we will discover it to be, unless it is transcendental, there is no way to physically define this continuity or give it some special meaning, such that teleportation would be meaningfully different from the normal passage of time, or that perfectly copying an individual could be said to produce anything different than moving them.
It's fairly obvious that in the real world time does play a role. This may shock you but theories advance over time. There isn't a holy paper which can never be improved on (at least not in sensible research fields).
The last two paragraphs are a bit confusing to me. One is saying that the company auctioning the tweets compares the process to acquiring signed baseball cards -- but I can draw sunglasses on the player's photo with a sharpie if I want to, in that case. I am certainly not allowed to draw sunglasses on the player with a sharpie, of course, that would be very rude.

So is Jack selling _the_ tweet, or a signed "photograph" of the tweet? Is the buyer the "tweet's buyer", as it stands in the last paragraph or a... I'm out of analogies.

Have you read your article? Embodied cognition comes in different forms. The 'basic' idea is simply that the body plays some role in cognition.

The view that's closest to traditional cognition - and generally regarded as uncontroversial - is that the body has a strong influence on the mind. A lot of (most?) computationalists would accept this idea with no issue.

It's the idea that our mind is actually distributed, that our body is part of our mind, which is actually contentious. It's a philosophical position you can argue for, but there definitely aren't a lot of studies to back it up, as all of them (or at least all that I know, feel free to prove me wrong), can just as easily be explained with a non-distributed model.
I suspect Emacs could be convinced to do this. Right now there's the Simple Emacs Spreadsheet which uses elisp as a formula language and has a grid view, but I can't imagine shelling out to alternative interpreters would be beyond the wit of man.

> So, not even the value proposed by blockchain but the hypothesis of the value?

Of course. This is a nascent and emerging market. To act as if this is anything but a hypothesis on what may be valuable is a lie. This is true of every emergent market ever.

> What would those values and hypotheses be?

See my other comments in this same thread if you'd genuinely like to engage in discussion. The value is derived from the characteristics of the network protocols and the hypothesis is these values are difficult to achieve without the protocol and that they will come to be highly desired.

As a simple example, take the oft common hate for Google accounts being deserviced. A globally accessible, immutable ledger representation of a user account could be a theroetic start in the direction of mitigating the problems of thirs-party owned account data.

I navigated from the post to Zig's documentation, which the author links to. Seems a bit more than one page, but OK. I checked for recursion, as I value being able to use recursion without stack overflow or maximum recursion depth errors. I read:

> Recursion is a fundamental tool in modeling software. However it has an often-overlooked problem: unbounded memory allocation.

That it not necessarily true. It depends on the implementation in the given language. Perhaps in Zig it has that problem, but it is not an inherent property of every recursion one can think of.

If Zig manages to get optimized tail calls like I can enjoy in Scheme, it has a good chance of being the next language I learn. As noted in the next paragraph of the docs, it is still an area of experimentation.
Posts that whiff of “sjw” tend to get downvoted or at least end up controversial, regardless of the quality of the post. The canon is continuously reevaluated and that is a good thing. But it fits the narrative of “woke academics ruining stuff I like.”
This is actually a great idea. I had a conversation over beers with some people in a higher intellectual realm who were discussing the details of flow-based languages. It was the general consensus among them that in the future, flow-based programming will be the way everyone learns structural thinking, and we will look back on sequential instruction programming the same way we look back on punch cards today.
Like Jesus asked Pontius Pilate,

They can verify ownership by signing something with the wallet that the token is associated to (signing is free). They're only able to do so if they own the private keys of the wallet.

It should be noted that private keys can be shared if the owner wishes. In the case of using NFTs as event entry the event organizer would still need to keep a record of which NFTs have been used already for a given event because the wallet can be shared. Third party services will almost certainly pop up to fill this need.
> That it not necessarily true

It is necessarily true if you allow non-tail recursive calls.

GoatCounter claims to be GDPR compliant, but also says it collects:

URL of the visited page.
Referer header.
User-Agent header.
Screen size.
Country name based on IP address.
A hash of the IP address, User-Agent, and random number

As such, it seems to be processing user data that could be linked to an individual person.

I'd be cautious about the claim that GoatCounter is totally GDPR compliant (without a consent notice). You're safe, for now, on the basis that this doesn't seem likely to be tested in law.
