I used to run it. Initially as a VM on Debian, later inside a jail on FreeBSD. It worked nicely.

The main criticism I have of it is that it is a solution in search of a problem. Why would I use it in preference to either vanilla FreeBSD or vanilla Debian? I eventually made the move and just went to vanilla FreeBSD. It avoids the potential for any subtle incompatibilities you might encounter between the FreeBSD kernel and a foreign userland that was never intended to be used with it.

Don't get me wrong, it's a great technical achievement. But I'm sceptical that it has major value.

I wonder how long before D'Andrea goes to work for an energy company?

Also, people on the right screaming about how gas prices have gone up "under Biden", wilfully ignoring that 30% of Texas refineries were shut down for 2+ weeks.
Despite some weird issues with your post, the problem lies in that companies get to basically engage in a sort of labor arbitrage.

They're paying someone $5/hr to provide them with $10/hr of value. The worker should be entitled to at the very least some of that extra value in the form of wages. Actually, all of it, but you know, get what you can.

That's the issue. There's $5/hr of value being essentially taken by the employer.

And before you come with any "but the business needs to profit", that's already accounted for. We're talking about what the worker provides to the company. The company can impart additional value as well. And that is what the company should be profiting. So if the company's infrastructure and economies of scale allow it to effectively sell the employee's effort at $15/hr, it does get to pocket that $5/hr. That's fair.

But like I said, due to the radical power imbalance, employers often get to engage in labor arbitrage. In which they underpay labor because employees often have no recourse. That doesn't make the labor worth less.
Apple and Google have held a duopoly in the mobile app distribution market for over a decade now. It's time for the market and consumers to enjoy the benefits that real competition in this space can bring and to rid them of the years of anti-competitive stagnation they've had to suffer through for benefit of Google and Apple's shareholders.

While Google's change is nice, it doesn't address the core issue at all.
That sounds like they are in favor of not using bitcoin.
I got it.

The point is, not trying to add too much at a time. Try adding one feature at a time, but make it production ready, stable, reliable. It's what make progress !

Wondering the same. I hope they use the Lightning Network. If it's just another debit card on top of some exchange that's pretty boring.
Commodifying and creating a market for accuracy-driven moderation among other types of moderation shifts the conversation toward the question "Is misinformation a market failure?" If that's the case then we have a much more interesting discussion on our hands.
> If that isn't scientifically provable exceptionalism, I don't know what is

My point is that it isn't scientific at all.

Any person can declare themselves exceptional - I have observed consistently that if a person has to declare they are exceptional themselves, it means they probably aren't.

I don't assume that general rule to be different on a species-level: if we (as the human race) feel a need to spend a lot of effort making claims to why we are exceptional, acting both as the judge and the jury, it leads me to suspect that we probably are not.
yeah, but how out of touch do you have to be to realize that the customers this would actually affect would not be offended.

its only the people that would be vicariously offended.

Is a "strong government enough"? To quote the article:

> The FCC’s attempt to balance science and commerce was not well-accepted by said scientists, who took their story to the media.

This suggests to me that the government had enough strength to make an enforceable ruling, but very nearly made a ruling that would have not prioritized science in the way that the radio astronomers would have wanted.

It took something else (public attention, persistent outreach by scientists, etc) for the FCC to come to the ruling that it ultimately came to.
But that’s just because managing software development is about managing people, and the behavior of people can’t be captured by logical rules. In other words, I doubt that there is something that can or even should be solved here.

I think this quote says it best: “The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function.”
Most companies in the security world have government connections of some kind or another. At the very least they all sell to them.

Here's another map from a UK provider based on a similar idea https://threatmap.checkpoint.com/
I have very little long term faith in BTC at this point. It is effectively centralized, has limited capacity, outrageous fees when the network is busy, and then there are growing concerns over environmental impact...but I'm still holding on to my stash as the growing institutional momentum over the last year or so seems like it might have a significant positive influence on price, before BTC is eventually abandoned.

It's a gamble but it wouldn't surprise me if we saw $100k at this point, might as well let it ride if you've locked in whatever you originally paid for it.
thank you for confirming that my "Rockstar" status is ironically the only problem that I can't solve :)
It also fuels the imagination for things like all-in-one lab grown clones of yourself (but without the brain) for replacement "parts".

I rented one once and I suspect the electric was just compensating for the bike weight (unliftable so I’m guessing 40kg or more!) so I can’t imagine hoe good they are on a lighter bike.
I have worked at Microsoft and no one I knew worked more than 30-40 hours a week. And this included at least an hour for lunch every day and multiple hours of just browsing the internet/wasting time, using office amenities or roaming around the campus. Some divisions are probably different, but calling Microsoft employees overworked is a joke.
That isn't popular in South Korea. It is pretty much that there are people who don't use Line but there is no one who doesn't use KakaoTalk.
I view language policing as a type of misguided adherence to a strong version of the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, which basically states that people can't think what there is no word for in their language. This is utter nonsense; people have likes and dislikes and biases and will always find new ways to express these views.

There was a long period in linguistics research where linguists thought they could understand language best by discovering the etymologies of every word; this drove a lot of the work of recovering Proto-Indo-European. They thought that if they knew where a word came from that they would then know the absolute truth regarding the meaning of the word. Things changed at the beginning of the 20th century, and this approach is now considered pseudo-scientific; linguistics is data-based now, with meanings of words determined by their usage and context.

"Master" is a pretty neutral word, with about a dozen meanings if you check Meriam-Webster. Even if the top meaning listed were "one having authority over another" (and it's not), this is still too vague to simply declare that it's associated with slavery and needs to be avoided. There's nothing about a Git repository that's directly reminiscent of American slavery, so it's quite arbitrary to declare the word "master" inappropriate in this context. It could be quite a different story if the spelling were "massah", which would directly evoke the image of slavery.

In general, though, even for actual offensive words I think the banning approach is counter-productive. Melioration, the loss of a negative connotation, is a perfectly natural process, and by outright banning a word you prolong the process or even strengthen the negativity of it. Let negative word meanings fade out of our consciousness as the negative feelings that gave birth to them disappear.

I found Zotero (academic reference software) with the browser plugin to be a simple and very effective way to file general information, web bookmarks, Arxiv papers, conference materials, PDF books, etc, etc. My basic workflow is:

* Keep Zotero open, and navigate to one part of its collection (topic) hierarchy.

* Click on the Zotero button in the browser, to save the current web page, PDF doc, paper in Semantic Scholar etc into the currently selected place in the Zotero hierarchy.

* Zotero saves all the metadata about the object.

In parallel, I keep project specific markdown files in the folder I create for every project.

I tried Roam-like hyperlinked Markdown files for a couple of months, but found I kept wanting to keep them alongside other project-specific files.
It's just on-chain layer 1 transactions that are somewhat expensive. The lightning network solves this and works great, can do thousands of transactions per second and has close to 0 fees. Feels like magic to use it :)

Almost certainly Visa would be acting as a (centralized) transaction aggregater that uses the settlement-layer pattern. There's no value for Visa to provide anywhere else really, other than to use their transaction network to transact the bitcoin asset.

They are in favor of not using the L1 Bitcoin blockchain for small payments. L2 solutions, both decentralized ones like the lightning network and centralized ones like Visa are still "using Bitcoin" as a currency, even though they are not using the L1 blockchain.

i am now on 4th iteration of gateway (setting it up now). first one died (early 2000s.) second couldn't deal with 120mbit adsl speed. third had 2 mini-pcie cards inside to server as AP. for past couple of years tried edgerouter-x flashed with openwrt, but it was... "not it" (selection of packages is vast, yet limited) so i went back to x86 based one. one interesting side effect, is that much talked about bufferbloat disappeared after i switched to it from edgerouter, even without any queue management (have 1gb cable at home).

>This is a well-respected publication commenting on a matter of great importance that injected false information into it.

And the [likely politically deliberate] regularity with which this has been happening for years makes me very uneasy to read articles by the same outlets crusading against "misinformation". This movement isn't about combating misinformation, it's about combatting their misinformation, and ensuring that people only see our "true" information
In large parts of the western world, 50 hours is actively illegal and opens the company up for legal trouble with the state.
I mean wood would be for a small minority but after being loaded on stocks the alternative is often speculative zero sum type assets where people's savings are indirectly debt or liabilities to other people.

Buying stuff you're going to need later is the opposite of speculation, not zero sum because it puts people to work to create something tangible and right now you get a better return than a lot of safe assets like bonds.
You know what actually sounds like a conspiracy theory? Believing that a word with no link to racism at all is racist because a company told you it was in a disgusting attempt to garner social justice points without actually doing anything helpful.

The only thing unhealthy here is inventing problems where there aren't any and then trying to force the majority population to go along with your insane ideology while trying to paint them as bigoted if they don't like it. Sounds like a recipe for creating a dystopian society.

Please tell me what good will come out of this? Because I can think of a lot of negatives.
This is maybe truer now assuming the creator actually keeps a copy. It's not true in general. My wife and I are big KMFDM fans (met at a show) and wanted to buy copies of all their album covers only to discover to our dismay that many of the originals don't even exist any longer. Even the original digital copies were stored on floppy disks that someone just lost and you can no longer buy these from the actual artist or any other authentic source.

I'm not sure to what extent this even matters for an NFT as I'm not sure why someone would even want to buy a signature of a thing but not even get the thing itself (in which case you're responsible for the storage). But to each their own. I've given a few grand to the local YMCA over the past two and a half years just because I'm too lazy to go through the process of canceling over the phone. May as well be setting money on fire, but I don't care. If other people want to set money on fire to buy a string of bits assigning a not legally enforceable claim of ownership to some item they never take physical possession of, let them.
High Bitcoin transaction fees are exactly what's good for Visa. Visa most likely wants to get your Bitcoin first and settle in the merchant's currency. They then sell Bitcoin from different purchases in large on-chain transactions.

Visa can essentially make the fee of a Bitcoin-to-merchant transaction $16 and still be on par with Bitcoin's own transaction fees. Only that you can buy stuff easily.
I find it hilarious that Americans don't seem to think they do the same thing.

Good questions!

One of the biggest issues with OOP I think is the lack of a unified understanding. I think there's value in trying to define a "right" way, if only so that when we are talking about OOP, we are talking about the same thing.

I think that definition would require a volume of text, so I'm not prepared to fully elaborate, but ultimately I think that the core issues lie in our approach. We tend to think like computers when programming, which leads to OOP being a morass of procedural code masquerading as objects. Effectively, we tend toward functional decomposition. Code is boxed up into related data and behavior, and we call these "objects". What we really should be doing is approaching object design as a function of behavioral affordances.

Object design then becomes a necessary, often overlooked, step.

Object design is the first hurdle. The second is in the actual implementation, wherein we traditionally treat our objects as "data" and "behavior upon that data". I can't tell you how many times I've cringed at seeing "Thing" and "ThingManager" in code.

OOP might not be a good thing. It definitely isn't a good thing when it is done poorly. Exposing an object's data, for instance, makes the entire paradigm worthless. The widespread acceptance of `public` data members completely ruins the usefulness of OOP.

That brings up implementation languages. Programming languages really want you to use them, and they make it easy to eschew good OOP principles in favor of ease of use. Accessibility features and syntactic sugar lead not only lead us away from the paradigm, but also confuse about what it actually is.

OOP's biggest strength, and one that most of the literature doesn't go into, is it's ability to lighten cognitive load. When an object works independently of its environment, it is easy to both learn and understand that object. But we sacrifice a huge chunk of this strength in the name of "getting the work done".

I believe that good OOP resembles FP in implementation. Not completely, but much more closely than the procedural landmines we're used to would have us believe. OOP just provides a lower barrier to entry in that it lends itself well to the usage of basic programming constructs and it more closely resembles how humans think, though that could also be argued.
Not directly related, but has anyone looked at Kin [1] recently. Besides btc and eth, they are the only guys with SEC clearance. And given that they are running on the Solana chain, as far as I understand, makes micro transactions possible. Also from a dev point of view, their weekly reward engine payouts is quite attractive!
I’m really interested to hear what others think of Kin?

100% agree with you on all points.

As a valid replacement for currency, it is inherently flawed. As an investment? A very solid choice.

Instead of _switching_, I just got a used ThinkPad from ebay for a secondary OS, installed FreeBSD to it and I'm having a blast exploring a non-Linux OS and trying things out on that side. You don't need to go all-in, but do things gradually and see if FreeBSD offers you any new insights how an operating system could look like.

I also have a NixOS laptop and my main Arch Linux workstation for work use.
It's magic until you realize you need to spend $15 to get off chain to buy a coffee. And then you realize you aren't ready to commit a bunch of cash to a speculative currency (or investment) so that you can buy coffee.

Also, you will need to file taxes for your coffee if your bitcoin goes up after you bought it. Fun!
50 hours can mean the difference between:

- Getting a healthy amount of sleep or not

- Having time to eat a proper breakfast or not

- Having time to prepare dinner (vs. order out)

- Getting that evening bike ride in before dark or not

- And on and on

I can't help but feel your response to this is part of the problem. 50 hours is a lot of hours, and we shouldn't normalize it.

This was less clear to me earlier in my career. I held a similar viewpoint for awhile. As time went on, and I saw the long term impact on those around me, and eventually myself, I shifted my viewpoint greatly.
