Certainly looks like the car is trying to get them killed. Not sure I'd call that "fully self-driving" just yet - not in an inner city environment anyway.
All the time. Some stuck have stuck in my head. Once in a fraught technical exchange, an example was contrived regarding goegraphical place and temperature. One party talked about handling degrees and meant either latitude or temperature (I forget which), the other party took it as the other (temperature or latitude), and argument ensued over bogus handling of data. I attempted to alert them as to what the misunderstanding was, and they both glared at me and said to stay out of it. Took a bunch of time in a meeting involving at least 13 people to finally converge.

There is a missing maxim about being welcome to engage in the conversation in the first place.

Which leaves Google as the only other likely suitor... and I don't think they would acquire JetBrains when they get the milk (I mean, Android Studio) for free. As someone who is a .NET developer and used Visual Studio on Windows, Xamarin Studio/VS for Mac, Rider, Android Studio, and IntelliJ, I think the JetBrains IDEs would be an upgrade over Visual Studio in many ways AND open the door to me moving to Linux full time and forever more! That's my wish... but I don't think it will happen.

Grant has been one of the inspirations since my early BE days (that was years ago). I got so much inspired from manim that I tried to make my own animation tool, panim [0] where I implemented mathematical concepts I understood. Nowadays, whenever I am in a rut, I jump back to panim and try to jot down my ideas into code.

(Say, "panim" name might be a gimmick?)

> it's not very efficient to learn how to do something by enumerating all the ways you cannot do it

I think the better way to look at it would be to look at ways that it could've been done better. Everyone's a genius and mastermind that knows exactly why a certain product fails ("if they only had know this") or that the "bubble was there all along". Learning what could've been done better is much better than success stories where people knew what to do from some divine inspiration.

You're talking about spot trading volume on centralized exchanges, which is a completely different metric than "transactions" (regardless of if you want to interpret that as on-chain or not).

Separately, Binance is a lot of bot-trading, and, outside of BN, USDT-heavy exchanges have questionable volume figures (wash trading and fake trades).

USDT usage has indeed gone down in favor of other stable coins, and while Binance is huge among exchanges, it's just one fraction of the BTC economy.

The tamper-proof timestamping has been around for a long while - there are many timestamping servers which sign hashes using a simple protocol [0][1]. Get a signature from a few servers in different jurisdiction if you are worried that one will get compromised.

This is one of the reasons I don't like the blockchain hype -- people have real problems. Instead of choosing existing simple and reliable solutions -- TSA, CT-style logs[2], people go with the blockchain stuff which directly powers cryptolockers, ponzi schemes, and other crime.

Yes, I know cryptolockers don't use Stellar... but most people don't -- and they see posts like yours as a justification that to put their life savings into another scam.

Maybe I wouldn't say "every way" (it doesn't age very well, several of my N900s have developed issues with their digitizers by now), but I do agree that it's superior. Much more accurate and pleasant to use than today's touchscreens; and way less prone to accidental touches. I have switched to a Librem 5 now, but I miss the N900's resistive screen.

You personally believe we shouldn’t use the word “intelligence” in these contexts?

Okay — then why even make the comment in the first place?

You clearly meant something by “intelligence != universal approximator”, but you’re unwilling to provide any semantics to back that up.

Go ahead and define it: how do you mean that statement?

I think you’re just too embarrassed to admit you said a personal view that’s wrong.
I was a heavy sunos/solaris user and honestly, when they came out with the sun USB keyboard with all the sun-isms, I switched to solaris x86 at home and didn't notice any difference (except I could afford fast hardware)
I'm with you on this one, right up until the last two versions of OSX.

Stability seems to have gone right out the window, with my machine crashing on a daily basis. It really doesn't like being plugged and unplugged from its Thunderbolt dock, which was a straight up non-problem prior to Mojave.

It's also slower. OSX never felt as immediate as Linux or BSD, but it's gotten even worse.

When I have some time, I'm going to toss a systemd-free Linux on my old Macbook Air with the garbage keyboard, and see how it feels as a desktop system.

Pretty sure I'll miss the consistency of the user interface. That's my biggest gripe about the FOSS world: the user experience is generally shit. And there are a few apps for which I don't have a good replacement yet (Dash being the biggie).

And I'm not sure what to do on the phone front: the iPhone is the best hardware by far, but I barely use mine for anything other than the web and watching videos. Will play with a Pinephone and see if it does the job.

But everything else I can do between a terminal and a browser, and given that I'm not happy with where Apple is going, it seems like it's time to start getting off the train.

>a word with no link to racism

Slave owning in the US was heavily linked to racist ideology, that's simply history.

> without actually doing anything helpful.

"main" is both shorter and more ergonomic to type

> then trying to force

None of my old repos have broke over the new suggested default

> insane ideology

Maybe they took not being racist a little too far, but changing a single word is hardly "insane" or "ideology".

> while trying to paint them as bigoted if they don't like it

I think the only people getting painted as bigots are the ones painting themselves with their over-reactions.

> dystopian society

With the way some of these complaints were worded, you'd think they changed the default new repo branch name to "stalin" or "karlmarx" or "漳州市" and started disabling non-compliant accounts, so I had to read the article, no it's actually a really boring and unintrusive default branch name of "main" for new repos.

For me it's a no go. These days, even 40h/week is too much. As I got older (33 now), I got less tolerant to long work hours. When I code I get super focused, hardly even move. So in a week I'll get 20h of focused work at most. The rest will be me wanting to get up and go away.
$1M SaaS Positioning Worksheet
Absolutely it has run its course. There are a now a litany of javascript frameworks to suit the variety of projects being done in javascript (both server and client side), and browsers are now far more compatible (I think partially because browser makers realized with the popularity of jquery how in demand that was) but I was only recognizing what an innovation it was at the time.
This is what I mean by "unringing a bell" though. Due to the initial (false) framing, people end up with trapped priors: https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/trapped-priors-as-a-ba...

In the end, it doesn't matter whether this is accidental or not, people are sharing the most salacious headlines and those are often significantly undercut by the story beneath them even at the time of writing because they get selected for "engagement" and A-B tested or similar.

So circling back to the story we're discussing, the problem goes deeper than just people trying to ensure that they share only the most accurate stories, there are significant problems with the supply even from the most trusted outlets.

Given BTC volatility paying monthly could add a bunch of risk (or benefit) to purchases. I imagine most people would want something more stable for their purchasing.

>exceed the supply of adoptive homes.

The number of adoptions happening per year doesn't actually tell you the supply of adoptive homes. The number of adoptive homes might be much much larger than the number of adoptions that happens. Especially if potentially adoptive parents are no longer scared away by multi-year waiting lists. If we add in government subsidization of adoption expenses, or even pay adoptive parents, the number of adoptive parents could grow a lot. Some countries are already paying parents to have biological kids[1]; paying parents to adopt seems even more likely.

Reading some of the comments here (and the vitriol), am I wrong in thinking that this site was meant as a joke? Because I totally read it as such...
Depends on the attack you're pulling off. A 51% attack won't allow you to change the coin generation rate (what peteretep was talking about).
> My observation on all of this is that the most common themes to bear Bitcoin - can all be fixed! People are quite happy to look at the current landscape and proclaim immediate and indefinite failure. Detractors allow no room for growth.

On the contrary, I've been watching bitcoin for what, ten years now, and if anything the practical usability has gone backwards. Sellers who trumpeted that they were accepting bitcoin payments quietly dropped it a few years later. Transaction fees rose and rose, and the governance process (such as there is) handled the resulting conflicts remarkably poorly.

Five or ten years ago I was skeptical but interested. Nowadays I see it as a de facto scam, even if it didn't start life as one.

Nikola strategic partner Hanwha to sell half its stake
Interesting. I wasn't involved at the time, and, when I went trying to reconstruct the open source afterwards, I suspected the ill-fated Microsoft deal might've had something to do with it. But sounds like there were problems before then.

A lot of cross-organization open source projects have had trouble figuring out how to to do that. I think our collective understanding of this improved even within the last few years (e.g., community development processes like Rust's).

(Though it's not necessarily monotonic improvement: we might also be forgetting things that people used to know -- repeating mistakes that were already learned the hard way, and also making new mistakes that were easier for an earlier community foresee and avoid at the time.)

I was so excited about the N900 when it was announced - a linux machine in my pocket! I couldn't justify the price, being freshly out of school though. Nokia advertised a competition asking the public how they would "hack" the device to make something cool. I submitted a proposal to make a bike dashboard - it sounds so basic now, but I wanted a simple way to track my ride and proposed fun little additions like using the ambient light sensor to turn on an external headlight, a horn, etc.

They picked my proposal along with a couple others and gave us some budget to buy hardware and components, and about 3 or 4 weeks to complete the project. It was my first time soldering, first time using an Arduino, and I remember being so stressed out about whether or not it would work.

It all came together in the end and looking back with hindsight now, I really owe a lot to that competition and the phone that let me pretty quickly write python apps on it :) Good times.

There’s a great talk [1] on how SciPy chose their new default colormap viridis to replace the rainbow colored former default “jet”. Turns out that there have been good studies on how the wrong colormap can lead to bad decisions in medicine, and designing a replacement took a lot of careful work.

> What is remarkable here is that a lot of people are using TeX who do not care about meticulous typesetting of "beautiful books" at all, and will blithely ignore warnings related to such matters.

Is this really remarkable? It's the standard tool for writing papers in physics. Get result, put into LaTeX, put on arxiv, repeat. The fact that these people have to constantly Google for obscure LaTeX incantations (faster than TeXbook) is not ideal for them. Indeed, it would be better if it were easier to use without reading a 500 page book.

Anyway, thanks for tip. When I googled for this I found only \sloppy, which did not produce reasonable results.

Wow, I had to abandon my N9 after all of my fixes including buying a new SIM holder failed. I still have my N9 and my N900. I really wish Nokia had stuck it out with the N9 OS a bit longer. It easily beat all of the Android phones at that time. I would still be using it if the CAs hadn't expired and the SIM holder wasn't horked.
> there are zero mature fonts besides the default computer modern that also have math rendering that's aesthetically acceptable to me

The only one I like is URW Garamond but it's a breeze to install and use and I think it stands head and shoulders above everything else. It also matches the math pretty well imho. I feel you though: Computer Modern is pretty ugly and most other fonts really clash with the math rendering by default.

> I believe that usage of 'master' in git was copied from bitkeeper which did reference the master/slave relationship.

The (likely) basis for this belief, the GNOME mailing list post[0] that reignited this discussion in 2019, was retracted the next year[1].

I wrote a summary of the history[2] for Git Rev News, the git developers newsletter. In short, the usage didn't come from BitKeeper, and was intended to mean 'master copy'.

After the article was published, Aaron Kushner from BitKeeper reached out and gave me some more history on the usage of 'slave repository' in that one particular spot in BitKeeper[3]: it was a presentation for a client that was already using master/slave terminology and so the same terms were used in the presentation.
