Best one that I know of is Daniel Dyer's biography about Jack London:

https://www.amazon.com/Biography-Jack-London-Daniel-Dyer/dp/...

Jack's life was, per his famous saying, a burning comet. His notoriously stringent working life, as Dyer kinda argues, is what lead to his premature death.

It's a great lesson in failure, one of the few specific ones that I can remember and learned from.

A good intro to Jack and his over-passions is here: https://www.artofmanliness.com/articles/jack-london-quotes/

Excellent question, why haven’t tether holders lost confidence?

Part of the answer I think is that you can lock up Tether at 12+% interest. So the system encourages withdrawing tethers from the system, at unsustainable savings rates.

https://bitcompare.net/coins/tether/savings-interest-rates

The other part is that it is not easy to directly trade USDT for USD. Kraken is the only place you can do so directly, it is the only place the peg is directly tested. Apart from that to get USD you need to trade to something else, like BTC or ETH, and then sell that for dollars.

The only people likely to have held USDT are also likely to be long crypto, so not surprising they wouldn’t cash out.

The better question is who are selling their BTC/ETH for Tether, and what do they do with the money after? Surely the locked in savings are part of the answer: interest rates on stablecoins are much higher than on BTC/ETH. But I don’t think it is the whole answer.

Presumably enough people don’t question the peg that it can stay afloat for now.
Many objects in the sky are brightly coloured.

Astrophotograpers often add artificial colours on top of (or instead of) the actual colours.

Plus, much of what you see from astronomers (although not from this case) is taken in non-optical parts of the electromagnetic spectrum (e.g. radio waves or x-rays), so those pictures are necessarily artificially coloured.

It won't matter. People are immune to being corrected.

They have to correct themselves.

"An extensive literature addresses citizen ignorance, but very little research focuses on misperceptions. Can these false or unsubstantiated beliefs about politics be corrected? Previous studies have not tested the efficacy of corrections in a realistic format. We conducted four experiments in which subjects read mock news articles that included either a misleading claim from a politician, or a misleading claim and a correction. Results indicate that corrections frequently fail to reduce misperceptions among the targeted ideological group. We also document several instances of a “backfire effect” in which corrections actually increase misperceptions among the group in question."

>I don't know how people can do that, slaughter an animal they've raised themselves.

Easily? Before the Disney-fication of our idea of Nature, facilitated by the ability to have several middlemen between us and our food and/or to get it in highly processed form, that's what people just had to do and did to get meat.

It might sound like this was the case in some distant medieval past, but as long as at least the 1970s, in e.g. villages all over western Europe that was the norm - not supermarkets. People bought from a butcher, but also had animals they tended and slaughtered themselves.

And it remains the same in huge swaths of the developing world, Latin America, Asia, etc.

An insteresting consideration is, that, for all urbanites soapy modern "feelings" about the issue, they eat meat far more often than those people in those rural places.

Just staring at the machine code, it looks like the hottest loop for wyrng is about 10 instructions with a store in it. If the processor can do that loop in 1 cycle on average then...holy fuck.

edit: I was looking at similar code generated by clang on my machine. Again, holy fuck.

I don't think the story here is that 64x64=128 multiply is fast, honestly. The real story is the insane level of speculation and huge ROB that is necessary to make that non-unrolled loop go so fast. Everything has to go pretty much perfect to achieve that throughput.

I agree that Bitcoin is never going to be used for payments again. But I still don't know about value store. Its hard to convert back to fiat (without paying taxes) unless you're going completely P2P with cash, which likely isn't feasible for large scale transactions. Is bitcoin's value negatively affected by difficulty cashing out, or am I overthinking it?
Also worth mentioning projectors as well.

When the Storm came out, the place I was working had placed pre-orders for the executive team. First day, they're all configured and sent out to much fanfare.

Not sure why you are being downvoted. It is disgusting. It does nothing to help with any of the real issues. It just creates this sad gestapo culture where there is a rush to jump all over someone over something trivial and meaningless.

The enemy of progress is silencing discussion and stupid "bans" on everyday words just makes people hesitant to speak less they violate the latest woke rules.

Rule of thumb: No matter the distribution of devices across your users, the majority of revenues comes from iOS. Often supporting Android is almost not worth it.

I've seen a lot of mobile dev shops, and customers always want the iOS app to be the first on the market. Often the Android one is effectively a port.

> Mao arguably murdered more humans than anyone else in history. Read a book or two.

We're talking about Soviet and Chinese Communism (and their offshoots). Both of these forms of Communism have had great results as well as terrible. Looking at China now and comparing it to China before Communism I see development that is nothing short of astonishing. Or even just over the last four decades. I don't know how many have been saved by increased standards of living, access to healthcare, and general governmental competence, but I do know that the number is very high. Compare this to a country which has not been under Communism: India. How many have died due to lack of development, lack of access to healthcare, governmental incompetence, etc.?

Most audio apps - including CEP - group plugins by function.

TBF default groupings are often based on the function baked into a VST/AU by the designer, and some of those groupings are more useful than others.

But given that Audacity's plugins are largely homebrewed, I don't there's a good reason not to get this right.

I find these kinds of problems baffling. And it's not that they're exclusive to open source, because they really aren't. (I'm looking at you, Adobe...)

Some designers just don't seem to get UI concepts like making common workflows as streamlined and effortless as possible, minimising clicks and scrolling, efficient presentation of options with useful grouping, and watching non-dev users interacting with the software to find out what feels clunky and excessively complex to them.

Overthinking imo. Compared to a bar of gold, it’s a breeze.

Convertibility to fiat is kind of a low priority for a store of value. Auditability, barriers to rehypothication, and ability to self custody are probably much more important for a store of value.
Of course it's going to backfire when partisan groups like Politifact and the Washington Post are running the entire operation, too.

Especially around politics, there's basically no such thing as fact. If politician X says that plan Y reduces problem Z by 13% but actually it was only reduced by 11.5%, technically he's wrong but the classification of his statement becomes subjective.

This is where bias seeps in. If a right wing politician is off by 1% in a statement it's "mostly false". If a left wing politician is off by 1% it's "mostly true".

I don't trust ANY of these organizations to "fact check" anything because they're utterly discredited.

Perhaps it could be a two-level thing then, where you first decrypt e.g. the list of keys and then read the one you want and get a "start/end" offset to read/decrypt just the value for that key from another file. So keys and values are still decrypted, but you don't have to decrypt the whole bundle in one step to get the value.

Both of those are cable channels. Cable channels (normally) use different frequencies than broadcast tv. I don't see a similar frequency reservation for cable TV (would be around channel 89), probably because cable TV signals are not intended to radiate.

Either both UK politics and Scottish succession are “reasonableish”, or neither is “reasonableish.” Because the two are pretty closely connected.

Based exclusively on this book, I’m thinking both are “reasonableish.”
I'm sorry but I just laughed like crazy reading this. The US Fed showering the wealthy with more cash than they know what to do with is the only reason Bitcoin continues to exist and anyone holds it. Bitcoin can't disrupt the Fed any more than house flippers in 2006 disrupted the mortgage underwriting industry. Bitcoin completely depends on the Fed. Holding it is a bet that the helicopter will never land.

I guess that's a little unfair as I suppose Bitcoin can help disrupt the central banks of places like Venezuela, giving the elite an easier means of fleeing a collapsing country without losing their wealth. Sort of defeats the purpose of economic collapse if it no longer even serves as a great leveler, but oh well, I guess. As long as the rich can never lose.

> Are organs grown in vitro adapted to actual use?

Yeah, also a good question.

I was assuming that the technique I was proposing, that of using a whole body -- as different from growing organs in-vitro -- would obviate the worst problems.

(There are still concerns about making sure the body doesn't atrophy, but I think something could be worked out. You can even imagine (again disturbingly) some serious exercise regimen, administered via electrostimulation of the muscles. Or occasional stress to the pulmonary system by injecting adrenaline.)

But in-vitro growth of isolated organs might also be possible. That would immediately skip the worst ethical issues, but it requires more discoveries than the full-body method. We're already getting there for simple organs, though it requires a donor organ to be used as a scaffolding, which is a problem.

> Stuff just works with minimal coding and you customise it as needed (or not, which is perfectly valid).

You can't though, because the usual pattern is that the classpath-based self-configurer imports a non-public class that contains all the actual configuration.

Money killed hacker groups, I suppose the rise of cryptocurrency is to blame for dealing the final blow.

Almost all of us involved in the creation of HTP5 were children, few of us cared about money. It didn’t seem attainable at the time anyway, just something fraudsters from third world countries dealt with.

I think bitcoin changed this, now there’s a clear mechanism that enables anyone to profit from their crimes without having real life contacts or dealing with insecure services like liberty reserve.

The great blackhats from groups like Ac1db1tch3z became billionaires by hacking bitcoin exchanges. It’s obvious why nobody is making zines anymore.
