It's a nice thought, but "the original" of nearly all (current) digital goods is a meaningless concept when all copies are identical.

I can see this sort of thing being meaningful for some of the specific things you mention (virtual property and the like), but all I currently see is a gold rush to tie digital assets to NFTs before the feeding frenzy is over. I'm seeing people tying art assets they didn't even create to NFTs and calling those "original" which only adds value for the creator of the NFT instead of the asset itself.

Congrats to Beeple for being able to cash out something he was otherwise doing for free anyway, though. I hope any artist doing similar has similar results.
We're a Batch 1 company and I can attest to the quality of the program. The cash is nice, but the real value is in the community and extensive mentorship network! Stoked to see TinySeed becoming a compelling investment vehicle.
> Although I can think of some states with balanced budget constitutions that act only nominally to constrain spending, as they are based on abusable projections, so the impediment is not firm.

Most of the sources of misery in the US are economic, unfortunately. The political parties in the US have a long history of being poor trustees of the nation's wealth.

I make the comparison to Norway often because Norway has the world's largest social safety net in the form of their Sovereign Wealth Funds. Norway has $1.1T, roughly $200,000 USD per citizen, that can be used to maintain economic stability and secure social programs even in hard times.

The US absolutely could have accomplished the same thing, but instead we've racked up a national debt per citizen of over $70,000.

> but rather "don't learn something new" when your goal is to get a product out the door.

I don't agree at all, because that argument is a poorly put-together strawman.

No one ever had to choose between setting up a CICD pipeline and churn out features. Ever.

In fact, continuous deployment makes it possible for everyone to get features out if the door as fast as they possibly can, and ensure deployments are two-way door thing instead of a finicky one-way door pray-that-it-works event.

The door where features have go get through is not JIRA, but the prod environment. It's inconceivable how some people try to pretend that automating operations adds no value.

And hell, CICD nowadays is trivial. You know why? Because of tools like Kubernetes/Cloudformation/CDK/Ansible/etc.
To add to that, role clarity is inversely proportional to the seniority.
Thanks for sharing this. You are saying that there is a ton of stuff to learn....how do you solve this problem now?
Rust has std and async_std as separate codebases because of function coloring. Zig has the same codebase that supports both evented I/O and blocking I/O because of the non-existence of function coloring.

Zig has the same codebase with regards to allocation as well; there is no "allocator_std" or some nonsense like that.

Where is the paradox, exactly?
One of the dumbest comments I've read today.
> Concerning the lock in, I think it makes sense only if the vendor will stop supporting it.

I believe it's still not the point. By vendor lock-in, the author meant that if one day for any reason (maybe size of the bundle due to many unnecessary class variants?) you will have to go away from tailwind, you will find it either extremely time consuming or even impossible (for example due to time/budget limits).
The ASCII only restriction feels very artificial. I wouldn't be surprised to find some work in progress to lift it.

Edit: yep, there is clearly work in that area and not even that recent. Of course support is spotty depending on actual software in use. See: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/760150/can-an-email-addr...
> Companies prefer hiring employees who have families, and mortgages to service, and who faithfully trot along on the consumerism treadmill. As Nassim Taleb points out, it’s the only way you can legally ‘own’ a person today.

I really hope Taleb doesn't say this because it's really really stupid. You can call a situation bad without comparing it to chattel slavery.

As someone with family, I am curious about how others with families approach this "fuck-you" topic. I suppose it just doesn't include us, as we've made the choice to assume responsibilities that are (or should be) impossible to walk away from. If saying fuck you to a salary includes saying fuck you to my wife and kids, well I'm not going to do that. And believe it or not it doesn't make me feel like a literal slave to my employer.

For single people (especially younger) it's great advice I think. You're unattached, that has its own benefits, why not make the most of it?
This seems fairly typical for large non-tech companies. They all seem to flirt with the line when it come to shadow employees.

We usually don't do less than 3 months for a contractor. If it's that short of a time, we are usually looking for a consultant/vendor just to get the system or new technology set up correctly for regular teams to take advantage of.
Aren't they in that free bandwidth alliance with Cloudflare?
Fair. Would you say that the author of the post was speaking about the issues with an open development model?

That's a great distinction as there are companies out there doing open development who may have a closed source product.
One reason it might have been made public is because Microsoft may have ignored them.

I have seen Uber ping-ponging between Postgres and MySQL. My approach to this problem is, can we use Postgres? If the answer is yes (90% of the cases) we use Postgres. If the answer if no investigate what is good out there. For k:v I have used Riak with much satisfaction. For distributed databases we are experimenting with TiDB. It looks very promising so far.

There is only one problem with Postgres that I run into. Client connection scalability. This is why many users use a connection proxy in the front of it.
Just to double check I went back and re-read the article. It wasn't strictly about JS. It was about the entire concept of async await. In fact if you read it he dunks on C#, Dart (the language he works on), and python. He only calls out one language as having gotten it right.

Go. Go eliminated the distinction. Everyone of his points about JS/C#/Dart all tick the same boxes he calls out as problematic in Rust as well. The size of the problem may be simpler but you haven't eliminated it.

Everything is composable if you wrap it appropriately. Saying that since you can convert something into a newer more composable form doesn't imply that the original is composable. It just means that since we can write code everything is composable with the right amount of work. What people actually mean when they say two things are composable is that you don't need a shim to compose them together.
I am confused. You seem to be saying that police abuse is a problem, but also that this particular case of police abuse wasn't actually a problem. That's a pattern I see a lot: when black defendants are killed by police, there's always some reason why that particular abuse was warranted -- even though these are the cases where the person was clearly in no position to present a threat.

If you stand against police abuse, I'd have thought you'd make it clear that standing on somebody's neck for eight minutes constituted abuse and should be opposed. So why aren't you looking at it through that lens, rather than making excuses for it?
Because in your specific niche of software you can't imagine letting a bug report hang for a day...you're incapable of understanding that that is not the case for 99% of software? You're unaware of bug tickets wallowing in backlogs for days to years?

Could it just be a tracking pixel?
Obscurity is about hiding amongst the noise. I describe physical network separation, essentially air-gapping. Do we encrypt the signal between a car's brake pedal and the brakes? Why not? It is a very important network that could result in loss of life. We don't encrypt because the network is physically separate from attackers. If they are tapping into your car's internal wiring then they could kill you in any number of easier ways. A rocket tuned to only listen to emitters from specific locations need not encrypt because it is also physically separated from potential attackers. So in high-reliability systems if encryption/authentication only offers protection in hypothetical edge cases where the attackers is co-located with controllers, but presents any additional complications, it won't be employed.

Which is partly why there's so much opposition from the powers that be. Similar for universal healthcare - these things reduce the amount of power employers have over employees.

The underlying representation of the simulator we have is symbolic, so you can have it spit out a https://github.com/JuliaSymbolics/Symbolics.jl representation of the equations that make up the circuit and feed it into a symbolic integrator from there.

I totally understand the fascination with type systems. It's just that in my experience, the people are have the most success with intricate type systems are much smarter than I am ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I personally really like using Mongo for my side projects. Most of the time my side projects are just little utility things like link shorteners, paste bins etc. and I find it really easy to just make a basic schema and use something like mongoose to do all the queries for me. SQL is nice when i’m doing things that require a relational model, but in node.js I find it takes a lot more setup than mongo.

How does this proposal address the problems with "blocking on drop does not work" here? https://without.boats/blog/io-uring/

The problem here is not with Rust's async design. It's that Rust has affine types and not linear types. This is not something that could have been solved with more work on the design. It is not that there was "a decision" to allow dropping tasks; it's a constraint on the design that the language requires. (Personally, I'm unsure as to whether a practical language with true linear types is possible, but it's worth experimenting with. Rust is not and never will be that language, however.)
How to search URLs exposed by Shortener services
There are some security risks associated with Shortener Services. First, you never know where you are redirected when you click a shortened url — there could be a malicious url on the other end. Second Shortener Services can track users and their behavior. There are some other risks when shortening urls that should remain private.

I'd never heard of the Lindy effect before and it seems very interesting. As I understand it, it suggests "the longer a non-perishable thing is present, the longer it likely will be present."

I think if you got the trademark it would mean something but it sounds like in many cases you don't.

For instance, if I could buy an asset with a smart contract that pays the artist when I lease the trademark, that would be 1 thing. But I'm not even sure our law is up to date here since if I owned the trademark I could go outside the smart contract.

Maybe we need new law which allows a party to create and sell trademark rights to an asset with an associated smart contract that grants the creator funds when the trademark is used?
Completely agree. I don't think he should be ragged on for his opinion but he presented his opinion as objective truth, based on logic and reason (everyone else's palate is driven by their cultural guilt???), when it was anything but. This definitely rubbed many the wrong way.

Here's how I see this. I'm not Indian but my parents loved making curry. To them, the point about curry is not about complementing the flavor of the meat or the vegetables. The curry itself is the actual true dish, the flavor you want to consume. It is the primary ingredient. You can really have curry without anything else. Any addons were simply added nutrition, nothing to do with masking poor quality.

The simple fact is, some people appreciate the taste of meat, and some people appreciate the taste of spices. You can enjoy a lightly seasoned ribeye if you're looking for a pure beefy taste or have a good meal of curry, having either is not the end all be all of flavor.
So the main benefit of OSS you see is promoting trust in the company building the open source software?

I'm sure there are plenty of blog posts out there, but I can see the following benefits:

* marketing halo ("we do open source")
* community feedback, both bugs and features
* community contributions
* trust in the company
* trust in continuity of the product (even if the company fails, I can continue to run this product)
* cost

As I said, I'm sure there are more, I'm not experienced enough to weigh them all, and I'm guessing they vary based on the size, stage and goals of the company. That said, feedback from the community does seem pretty important to me.
> I'm not sure where the logic is here, you are making an assertion without any supporting evidence.

You might want to take your own advice. You did the exact same ting, make an assertion without supporting evidence, in your previous comment.

> What sort of logic can you provide to back up your assertion? Any such reasoning must also include actual numbers and costs

Nuclear power was built with an average cost of $2-3 billion dollars per GWe of capacity when nuclear was built at scale during the late 1960s through much of the 1980s [1]. The US was building nuclear plants at a rate of several plants per year, rather than several plants per decade. The same pattern holds true in France. During the 1970s, 80s, and early 90s, plants of the same design were built in serial production. Now, when they're building plants one or two at a time it's more expensive.

There's a clear pattern of cheaper plants when built at scale, and this pattern holds true across the two main nuclear power producers.

Sometimes a person had someone they want to hire but due to institutional policy they have to open the position up to the public. So they have to sit through interviews with people they have no intention of hiring just so their colleague can get the job.
These people discuss having $5M or $10M before you can relax and feel you have "f u money"

I encourage everyone to read through the blog of this fellow, Mr Money Mustache, which I discovered many years ago. Early Retirement through Badassity. It's not just about having enough money for all your wants. It's about reducing your wants to just your needs.

https://www.mrmoneymustache.com/blog/

Another great book about it is the Ancient Art of Stoic Joy. Stoicism is like the Western Buddhism, and probably developed around the same time.

Basically, learn to separate your wants from your needs, and make sure your needs are covered several times over. It's not black and white -- we as a society come to expect more and more, but previous generations did not all have their own house, they didn't even have clean water running to their house.

I would say needs is whatever can maintain you in optimal health, and everything that supports that. Everything else is more and more optional, and you can practice (like going to the gym) denying yourself gratification in those things.

It is also why orthodox Jews, and the Amish, and others, have lifestyles where their health and emotional well-being is often independent of how much stuff they have. In the US, unfortunately, we have an opiate epidemic, a quarter of middle-aged women are on antidepressants, the kids are overmedicated with ADHD, and the elderly in the old folks home are on all sorts of things. All so our society could have a "good economy", specialization, all young adults can live in their large air conditioned apartments alone, etc. This is extremely different than most traditional societies around the world, where families live together, children are watched by grandparents and respect their elders etc. and there is quite a lot of collectivism and people aren't "spoiled" by individualism and wealth.

And also perhaps consider that this stoicism is not just for money, but also for sexual gratification and attraction to one's partner, as well. Easier said than done, but just like waiting to have $5M to be truly able to relax and be happy, maybe waiting for the most attractive and compatible person to come along to start a family, is something society has been telling us to do. As for me, I couldn't become a stoic in this department LOL, so I appreciate any insights.
PoC is already out there, what's the benefit of removing one instance of it from some page?
I just commented a moment ago mentioning Norway. I believe such a fund is a promising idea so long as it is managed in such a way that no politician or political organization could raid it.

If the US had a wealth fund instead of a national debt I believe many of the biggest issues we face could be legitimately solved rather than turned into political footballs.
On the topic of frugality, I think it's immensely important to reflect on this graph at least once a year:

https://income-inequality.info/

More than 85% of the people in the world live on less than $30 per day [0]. Many of us in the US are accustomed to such a high quality of life we can't even fathom what it's like for the vast majority of the world's population. Being frugal and giving 10% to cost-effective charities is what I choose to do (see Giving What We Can [1] )

I think I had some similar book at my desk back then... When you were just starting and found this book what was the most negative experience you've had during the learning?
The solution is separation of powers. Let the amount of the UBI be determined by an independent institution (like a judicial body) based on predefined criteria, put that mechanism into the constitution, and obviously have any kind of corruption or bribery be a criminal offense. It’s certainly not a 100% foolproof, but would go a long way.

This boring imperative falls into the same trap as "Be Clear".

Gregory Williams, author of the classic "Towards Clarity and Style", has a thoughtful rebuttal to these punchlines in his book's description (quoting an older edition):

This is a book about writing clearly. I wish it could be short and simple like some others more widely known, but I want to do more than just urge writers to "Omit Needless Words" or "Be clear." Telling me to "Be clear" is like telling me to "Hit the ball squarely." I know that. What I don't know is how to do it. To explain how to write clearly, I have to go beyond platitudes.

But I want to do more than just help you write clearly. I also want you to understand this matter to understand why some prose seems clear, other prose not, and why two readers might disagree about it; why a passive verb can be a better choice than an active verb; why so many truisms about style are either incomplete or wrong. More important, I want that understanding to consist not of anecdotal bits and pieces, but of a coherent system of principles more useful than "Write short sentences."

• • •

For non-fiction writing, I also vigorously recommend "Clear and Simple as the Truth" by Thomas and Turner[1]. It has fantastic practical advice; the entire second half of the book is filled with concrete examples—both "the exquisite and the execrable".

I've come to the conclusion the author just isn't considering people with families in this equation. I lived with intermittent work or no work at all when I was single & childless, but I can't say "fuck you" to my wife and kids and bring them along a journey of poverty because I want to thumb my nose at the system.

Algorithmic injustice: a relational ethics approach
I believe the "full-stack developer" meme did a lot of harm here. It is hard to discuss different strengths of different people openly, when everyone pretends they understand everything equally, because admitting that you specialize on X and can only do mediocre work in Y makes you seem like a loser compared to people who pretend to be great at everything.

I have seen people happy when the database guy was allowed to design the database, the back-end guy was allowed to write back end, the front-end guy was allowed to write front end, and the CSS guy wrote the CSS. Then management intervened and said no, the highest priority task must be done immediately, by the first person available. Afterwards both the happiness levels and the code quality returned to the mean.
